If you are wondering where to go trekking in Nepal, here is our list of top ten trekking trails in Nepal. The list has been made on the basis of the attractions, accessibility and popularity.
10 Trekking trails in Nepal
1. Everest Base Camp trek
Everest Base Camp trek undoubtedly tops the bill when it comes to best trekking trails in Nepal. It is the same trail once used by the historic expedition of team of Tenzing Sherpa and Edmund Hillary in 1953. The trekking trail is home to Mt. Everest (8848m), the highest mountain on earth, along with Lhotse (8516m), Makalu (8485m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Nuptse (7861m), Ama Dablam, Thamserku etc.
The hike to Kalapathar (5643m) and Everest Base Camp (5364) presents you with spectacular views of Mt. Everest. The trail passes through beautiful Sherpa villages of Lukla, Phakding, Namche, Khumbu, Dingboche, Pangboche as well as the highest Himalayan monastery of Thyangboche. Much of the trekking area lies within Everest National Park, a world heritage site. It is known for rare species such as snow leopard, Himalayan thar, lophophorus and blue sheep. Getting to Lukla is easy from Kathmandu, as it takes only 30 minutes of adventurous flying. The food and accommodation are of the highest standards in Everest Base Camp trek with a tincture of Sherpa culture and hospitality.

2. Annapurna Base Camp trek
At second spot of our top ten list comes Annapurna Base Camp trek. By the traffic of tourists visiting every year, ABC trek is by far the most famous trekking trail in Nepal. Trekkers will be able to hike up to Annapurna Base Camp located at 4,090m for a towering view of south face of Annapurna I (8091m), which is the tenth highest mountain on earth. What is more spectacular is a spot called Annapurna Sanctuary, a natural amphitheater, which offers 360 degree views of mountains including Annapurna I (8091m), Annapurna III (7855m), Ganagapurna (7485m), Annapurna South (7279m), Machapuchhare (6993m), Hiunchuli (6,441m). Equally mesmerizing is the trek to Poon Hill (3210m) which offers additional views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. The trail passes through mountains, waterfalls, rivers, and beautiful villages like Ghorepani, Choomrong, Ghandruk. These villages are inhabited by culturally rich Gurung and Magar ethnic groups.

3. Langtang Trek
The Langtang Trek is a popular trek in Nepal. Located just 60km north of Kathmandu in Rasuwa district, Langtang is comparatively less crowded and more pristine in terms of nature and biodiversity. Vehicles can travel up to Dhunche- the district headquarters of Rasuwa District as well as Syabru, the terminus of the motor road.
As most of the trekking in Langtang entirely takes place below 4000m, the trekking trail is suitable for trekkers of all ages and under any physical condition. There are comfortable lodges, guesthouses and home stays available along the route. Langtang region is inhabited by Tamang people, whose unique Buddhist culture and tradition- that closely resembles that of Tibetans across the border- will be a plus point for travelers who love culture.
The Langtang Village (3500m) suffered maximum damage due to 2015 Earthquake. Trekking activity has since resumed in Langtang as local communities have rehabilitated their houses and trekking trails.
The locals are promoting tourism to support their rehabilitation and recovery efforts. The best way to help Langtang community and contribute to building back local economy is by trekking in Langtang region.

5. Upper Mustang Trek
Upper Mustang is part of Mustang district situated along Nepal-Tibet border in western Nepal. It is a culturally, historically and naturally rich area of Nepal. It can be called the extension of Tibetan plateau as the culture and lifestyle of the people here are very similar to Tibetans.
The region is home to Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Dhaulagiri, the deepest gorge of Kali Gandaki Valley, the temple of Muktinath (Chumig Gyatsa) and the kingdom of Lo Manthang. The geography of Upper Mustang is very unique- it is semi arid, barren landscape with high cliffs since it gets very less rainfall even during monsoon.
People here follow Tibetan Buddhism as there are many ancient monasteries, mani walls that you can encounter along the trekking trail. The walled palace of Lo Manthang and its white washed palaces and cobbled alleyways is an impressive structure almost stuck up in the middle of almost desert- like landscape.
You will enjoy beautiful views of Himalayan peaks including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, trek along Kali Gandaki Valley, enjoy Thakali cuisine and interact with locals. Special trekking permit has to be obtained by trekkers before stepping into Upper Mustang.

7. Annapurna Circuit Trek
Annapurna Circuit Trekking is one of the longest and most popular treks in the Annapurna Region. It makes a full circle journey of the Annapurna Region and is a challenging adventure. We will be crossing Thorong La, the highest pass in this region, located at a height of 5416m and then visit Muktinath Temple.
A popular spot along the trek is Ghorepani, a typical Himalayan village quite famous for rhododendron flowers. We will also trek to Poon Hill, one of the best vantage point to view the Annapurna, Macchapuchre or Fish Tail and Dhaulagiri Himalayan ranges.

Book Annapurna Circuit Trek
8. Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek
This trekking trails in Nepal takes you to the heart of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), the seventh highest mountain in the world. This trekking starts from Beni, a small town near the touristic town of Pokhara. As we will make our way toward the famed Mustang region by follow the track of Kali Gandaki River.
Trekking in Dhaulaigiri is more like an expedition than a trekking, owing to its wild locations, snow trails and glacier moraines and cold climes. Also termed as 'number one' trek in the world, majority of trekkers regard it as a classic trek, having a full range of trekking experiences from low hill to high alpines.
The trekking involves tackling some adventurous stretches like glacier and snow walking. And of course, crossing one of the most challenging and highest Himalaya passes called French Col (5240m). The pass here provides the most adorable amd impressive visual feast of Dhaulagiri that you can get unlike anywhere on earth.
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek is a full-on camping trek and one of the longest trekking trails in Nepal. However, there are few home stay and lodging facilities available. As it is longer and physically demanding trek, every member is required to have sound fitness and good health. The team members also need to acquire good boots to wear and bring along crampons and ice axes.
Book Dhaulagiri Circuit trek
9. Lower Manaslu Trek
The Lower Manaslu Trek takes you to the heart of Mt. Manaslu. But to get there you have to pass through the medieval and historically most important place of Nepal: the small but strategically placed town of Gorkha. King Prithvi Narayan Shah who united Nepal over 200 years ago was born and raised in this small town. It was from here that his small but strong Gorkhali army marched to victory. Religious sites like Manakamana Temple, Himalaya Devi and Kalika temples and Gorakhnath Cave are significant landmarks that complete the story of Gorkha conquest.
But if you really want to elevate with the historical knowledge then a visit to the Gorkha palace and Gorkha Museum is a must. On the exhibition in the museum are the artifacts and personal belongings of King Prithivi Narayan shah.
Book Manaslu trek
10. Ruby Valley Trek
One of the best and closest spots to observe the Ganesh Himal ranges is by trekking in the Ruby Valley. The trek is moderately difficult to strenuous requiring trekkers to be a bit fit and healthy while trekking.
The trek passes through Langtang National Pak and Manaslu Conservation Area. The highest elevation reached during the trek is 4341m. Waterfalls and scared lakes such as Seto Kunda, Kalo Kunda, Ganesh Kunda and Parvati Kunda are major attraction for tourists.

October 8, 2018
Dear Readers: Here's are my annual thoughts about winterizing the sprinkler system. We're in that transition time of year when temperatures are dipping close to freezing. The pipes won't ice up and burst until the ambient temperature gets down to about 27 degrees, but why take a chance? Even though the weather forecast might say, "Overnight temperatures in the low 30's", if you're in a low-lying area where cold air settles, you may get to that freeze-up point regardless.
Many folks blow out their systems this time of year. Not me. If it's a dry winter, you should water the lawn--plus bushes, flower gardens and young trees--every four weeks or so. And I don't enjoy dragging hoses and sprinklers around. Virtually all modern sprinkler systems are piped with that black, shiny polyethylene material. It's flexible enough so that it almost never causes problems, even after the coldest winter season. (There are still a few older homes around with galvanized steel or hard plastic piping under the grass. No choice here: these systems must be totally purged with compressed air).
Anyway, the pipes you really need to protect and drain after each watering cycle are the rigid ones that stick out of the side of the house--usually PVC (white plastic) or copper. You should be able to un-winterize, irrigate and then re-drain these components with a simple twist of three or four valves. If not, a plumber can rearrange things so that you can periodically provide needed moisture to the lawn with the least hassle.
Dear Ken: I heard you talk about tankless water heaters last week. But there's one point I've never heard brought up. Heat that leaks out of a regular tank ends up in the heated house space anyway. What do you think? Gary
You're right. The heat isn't actually lost if the water heater is in the living area of the house itself. (Granted it takes more energy to heat water than air because of its specific heat, but the difference is not a big deal for our purposes here). So I would not bother with any extra insulation. But I still think it's a good idea under certain specific conditions. All electric water heaters and any gas unit that is in a cool space--like a crawl space or garage--should have a "blanket" wrapped around the tank. These insulating kits are available at any hardware store or home center for about $15. They are quite efficient. You can check this yourself by sliding your hand in between the insulation and the tank; it will feel very warm. One caveat, though. You must not block any grilles, screens, access panels or controls. Otherwise the water heater will not operate safely!
Dear Ken: What could be causing unsightly black patches on the ceiling above my track lights? I have a gas range. Is that part of the problem? Michelle
Could be. Gas cooking does, indeed, create more "pollution" than electric. The lights themselves are probably attracting dust and smoke particles which then rise in the heat of the lamps and end up on the ceiling. This phenomenon is similar to black smudges around furnace heat vents close to the ceiling. The "popcorn" ceilings that were popular in the 70's and 80's are more problematic than smoother finishes. There's not much to be done except spray another coat of a good acrylic latex on the ceiling, change furnace filters once a month and provide plenty of ventilation when cooking.
Dear Ken: I have a concrete floor on the lower level of my home. The expansion joint in the middle of the family room is uneven, so it's wearing the carpet out. The house is about 20 years old and shows no sign of more movement. How can I save my carpet? Bill
A full-service floor covering store can send a technician out to roll the carpet and pad to one side and then float some floor patching material along each side of the joint to a feathered edge---just like we do with drywall. When the carpet is replaced, the illusion of a crack will be gone--replaced with a slight rise in the floor which will barely be noticed.
Dear Ken: I have a light blue marble counter top in my bath, which I burned with a candle. What can I do to repair it? Cherrie
Most cultured marble tops have a thin, hard coating over a softer core, so you can't get to invasive here. If scouring with a soft, liquid cleanser takes it off, great. Then you can renew the surface with automobile polish. Otherwise, the top will have to be replaced.

The 30-30 Club is how you make the most out of what Brad P. has to offer.
Instead of just tackling random aspects of game by buying this product or another, the 30-30 Club makes sense of your learning journey by teaching you pickup step by step and in an orderly fashion.
You will be given theory and in-field drills one step at a time, and you will advance through Brad P.'s products in the right order and at the right stage of your pickup progress.
The Club will also make sure you are not alone as you learn – you will get access to instructors, and to other club members through the 30-30 Forum.
The forum is not open to the public, and successful members are vouched for, so you know you're getting advice from people who actually kill it in-field rather than keyboard seducers. No blind leading the blind.
If you are serious about learning game and actually making it work, the 30-30 Club is by far the most efficient way to go about it.

Earlier today President Trump visited West Palm Beach Fire and Rescue Unit-2 to thank first responders and those who are activated during his holiday visit to Mar-a-Largo.
[The audio improves after about one minute]
I have had dreams fairly regularly about President Trump over the past couple of years. (I might write about my most recent one in the open thread because it was kind of funny.) One of my dreams from back during the campaign that stood out to me was where I was in a big stadium of some kind with thousands and thousands of people in the stands. I was down on ground level, sort of like ringside seats you might say. It was kind of like some sort of Olympic event or something. Anyway, these three protesters (maybe BLM or just garden variety communists, I don't know, they're all about the same) came and took a microphone from one of the announcer guys and they got an American flag from somewhere and threw it on the ground and lit it on fire. The thug with the microphone is screaming some commie type BS. The crowd doesn't know what to do. Out of nowhere, here comes The Donald, marching across the field all by himself. The protesters start yelling at him, "What you gonna do, m—–f—-er!" That sort of thing. So Donald walks over to where the announcer table is and there is this pole there with a fire extinguisher strapped to it. He calmly takes the extinguisher and sprays the goons in the face and then sprays the flag and puts out the fire. The thugs are running around unable to see because of the extinguishing stuff in their faces. Donald kicks them and grabs the extinguisher by the hose end and starts swinging the canister around and smacking them with it and chases them off the field. He swings the extinguisher over his head and throws it and hits one of the thugs and they go away limping and moaning. Then he comes back and picks up our flag, all charred and in tatters. He picks up the microphone that one of the thugs dropped and says, "Please stand". But the whole crowd is already on their feet, screaming and cheering, tears running down their faces. Donald starts singing the national anthem and he gets to the part about "our flag was still there" and he's waving that star spangled banner around and the crowd is going wild. And that's pretty much the dream.
That picture of him standing there and in the background it says "FIRE" and right behind the President it says "RESCUE" reminded me of that dream.
What a great dream.
Right on, Farmon!!
My dear dad was a retired NYC fireman who was on the job 33 years. His greatest joy was casting his vote for candidate Donald J Trump. Dad didn't live to see President Trump take the oath of office, but he did know he won and beat Liarly Cankles.
Dad was Deplorable like the rest of us here.
I'm so pleased to see our President give some time and respect to those who service in the FD and EMS. My husband retired after 36 years with a utility company in the gas department and is now a proud Deplorable serving his community as a Volunteer at our local fire station. Due to past, numerous physical injuries, including a knee replacement, he cannot be a fireman. He joined to help as a fire police member. But he was asked to be and elected Capt of the Fire Police shortly thereafter.
My dad loved to hear stories of my husband's assisting at the scene as Luitenant. He didn't live long enough to see him be 'promoted' OR see our President give honor to those who serve their fellow citizens in a fire department or EMS.
Thank you for doing so, Mr President. As the wife and daughter of two such brave men, I thank you for thinking of them.
One of my strong memories from the Republican National Convention, where President Trump secured the Republican Nomination, was Rudy Giuliani's speech.
Rudy said he was letting out a secret that President Trump never wanted told. President Trump always saw to it that the widows of fireman and police officers and wounded fireman and police were taken care of and not left destitute. Trump has ALWAYS honored our police, fire and military. This is NOT for 'show' Something designed by a PR department. It is the Real Donald J. Trump who has a heart as wide as this country.
An honest Good Man. Too rare.
God bless you, Mr Trump.

The first of a series of posts examining the law and surrogacy.
In America's Oven Mitt, the great state of Michigan, it's the law:
A woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission.
It is illegal for a man to scowl at his wife on Sunday.
No person shall throw an abandoned hoop skirt into any street or on any sidewalk, under penalty of a five- dollar fine for each offense.
It is illegal to paint sparrows to sell them as parakeets.
And finally in Rochester, MI:
All bathing suits must have been inspected by the head of police.
Not quite as pervy, but every bit as ridiculous: Michigan's view on Gestational Surrogacy. The contractual arrangement that Michelle has with the IPs is expressly outlawed in this backward state. In fact, if we lived in the Wolverine State, Michelle could be sitting in a jail cell. (Orange maternity wear?)
While the half abandoned cities of Detroit, Flint, Pontiac and others smoulder in economic ruin, the state government has been very busy inserting itself into surrogacy arrangement. Michigan has one of the strictest laws prohibiting surrogacy contracts, not only holding them unenforceable, but also imposing fines and jail time on anyone who enters into such a contract (up to five years and $50,000 for some).

Luke tells us in the second chapter of Acts about the day God anointed the disciples and all those gathered in Jerusalem on Pentecost: the people were "Amazed and Perplexed". To this day, our experience of God's "Holy Spirit anointing" is both "Amazing and Perplexing"!
Because we live in a world that demands an explanation for everything, we're perplexed when the outpouring of God's Spirit moves us in ways that cannot be explained. Because we live in a culture that teaches individualism, and self-reliance, we're perplexed when we experience the anointing of the Spirit of our living God that moves us to consider the greater good, and embrace the power of community! And yet we stand amazed! Amazed at the joy that is ours when we allow ourselves to receive what God has to give. Amazed at the abundant life we possess when God's spirit moves in and through us.
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, the day God anointed God's people with His Spirit, and the church was born! Pentecost, a day of new beginnings and fresh starts; a day of empowerment, clarity, and direction; a day when God's people were equipped with what they needed in order to go the places God was leading.
As we celebrate the day of Pentecost this Sunday, I'm reminded of God's words in Isaiah: "See, I am doing a newthing! Now it springs up" (Isaiah 43:19a). God invites us to "Plug Into His Power"!
It is comforting, to me, that on the day of Pentecost, Cathy and I come to Hyde Park. These are Amazing and Perplexing times, but make no mistake about it, God is "doing a new thing! Now it springs up".
Hyde Park Community UMC has an amazing and storied history. A history filled with persons, in love with God, willing to receive the outpouring of God's spirit, and move beyond their comfort zone in order to partner with God to bring God's kingdom on earth, as it is in heaven. Hyde Park Community UMC has been a community of grace, love and mercy, to the community in which God has placed it; a community amazed by God's refreshing power! It's to this community of faith Cathy and I come, and with joy anticipate making the journey with you.
God has led Hyde Park Community UMC in powerful, and beautiful ways in the past; and God is "doing a new thing; now it springs up" as we move into the future! Come Holy Spirit come; kindle in us the fire of your love!
In Christ,
Pastor Doug

"NEMA has alerted other response agencies to an explosion reported in Morocco area of Suleja. Public are strongly advised to desist from getting close to explosion and allow rescue workers access to site," the spokesman said in a text message. He added that the casualty toll was not yet known.
The security source said the blast struck near the Christ Embassy Church, on the main Morocco Road, but officials did not immediately confirm this.
Nigerian officials say Suleja and surrounding Niger state have been infiltrated by militants from the Boko Haram Islamist sect which is waging an insurgency against the Nigerian government, usually concentrated in the largely Muslim far north and northeast.
Since last year, the group has radiated from its northern heartlands and struck in or around the capital a few times.
On Christmas Day, a bomb blast claimed by Boko Haram against a Catholic Church in Madala, just outside Abuja, killed 37 people and wounded 57.
That attack heightened sectarian tensions in the country of 160 million, split roughly evenly between Christians and Muslims.
On Wednesday, gunmen stormed a prison in Kogi state in central Nigeria, killing one warden and freeing 119 prisoners, the prison authorities said.
Although the majority of Boko Haram's attacks occur in its home base in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, its threat has spread. At least 178 people were killed in the sect's most deadly attack last month in Nigeria's largest northern city, Kano.

Innovative-IDM Acquires Advanced Control Engineering Supply
Acquisition bolsters Memphis area factory automation and control distributor.
Carrollton, Texas – Innovative-IDM, one of the Gulf Region's leading distributors of factory automation and controls parts, factory repairs, and a five-time INC 5000 Award recipient, announced today it has purchased Advanced Control Engineering Supply (ACES) of Jackson, Tenn.
ACES operations, inventory and personnel will fold into the Memphis branch of Innovative-IDM. In 2012, I-IDM moved its Memphis branch to a newer 5,000-square foot warehouse and office facility in Bartlett, Tenn.
Since 2010, Innovative-IDM has made several acquisitions, including Omron Service Centers (2010), MidSouth Drives and Controls (2010), and Mainframe Concepts (2011).
"Advanced Control Engineering Supply has a strong and positive history in the Memphis area manufacturing community," said Gene Gray, president of Innovative-IDM, who also praised the reputation of ACES owner Todd Warren. "Todd is one of the strongest assets we gain from this acquisition and adding his industry and technical knowledge to our team is a big plus for all of our customers. The real winner will be our combined customers."
Says Warren, "I'm really looking forward being a part of a strong team. Innovative-IDM has an outstanding reputation and a track record of success."
ACES started in 2001 in Jackson, Tenn., as a stocking distributor for OMRON and other automation and control lines, eventually carrying nearly 30 lines of product. Innovative-IDM brings nearly four decades of expertise in parts distribution, field service, and component repairs and is an undisputed authority on everything related to AC and DC Drives.

In Software Development, there seems to be a negative correlation between delivering software quality at a slower pace, versus delivering a slightly lower quality product at speed. That's not to say that doing both is impossible, but it is difficult, and few teams are able to achieve both speed and quality simultaneously and consistently.Joan Gamel's recent article in Hackermoon details the balance teams must maintain between delivering on time and delivering a good product. His analysis of the ongoing struggle is quite accurate. In particular, Joan addresses the issue of technical debt left behind by engineering's taking development shortcuts to be able to deliver a product on time.In my experience, it's from this critical point in the SDLC that technical debt becomes entrenched in the overall application if it's not refactored as soon as possible. If allowed to persist, this technical debt will continue its journey and spread its roots into broader parts of the system and become even more difficult to remediate.One reason this happens is that Product Owners move onto the next feature after one is complete without necessarily thinking about the quality of that code, because, hey, "it works." I doubt that this is a problem we will ever see fully go away, however, with good engineers that care about the software quality delivered by their team, they will have a better chance of coming out ahead."The best developers I know are crafts[wo]men," wrote Joan. "Craftsmanship is the hallmark of good software. You don't only build something that works, but you build it in the best way possible — It's relatively easy to build something that works, but very hard to build something that works and stands the test of time.""Craftsmanship is also about caring. Caring to do a great job, caring about the ones who will maintain your code after you, caring about the consumers of your software having an easy time using it, caring about your team mates, and so on."With this mindset, Software Engineers are always looking for ways to refactor bad code that was written before their time, hopefully reducing technical debt, finding a good mix of quality coding practices for new enhancements, and working with their Product Owner(s) and Development Manager(s) to carve out the time to do so. In the end, taking the time to build a quality system may take a little longer, but will ultimately product a better product.To ensure that development teams stay on the right path to produce quality software, Technical Leads and IT Management should consider tools to help validate and track progress. Using something like the CAST Application Intelligence Platform, everyone involved in producing software can get a view into the health and quality of a given system by tracking various measurements like technical debt and software risk in real time.Having this kind of Software Intelligence helps software crafts[wo]men showcase what they have produced and enables them to be transparent with their software product and build trust between IT and the business, allowing them the flexibility to keep "crafting" to the best of their ability.

In Reply to: Hey, Gizmo...would you kindly stop yelling in CAPS!!! posted by parhad on September 16, 2001 at 15:38:00:
Hey goblin, now learn WHEN to apply correctly the lessons you were inoculated with
As you may see, I copied only the original article title into the subject line.
So, those weren't my caps.
Personally I use them only for semantic focussing and I generally share your disgust for those ALL CAPS FRANTICS and just for the same reasons you quoted.
So sorry that you crushed into open doors again.
: I was always taught that these efforts to draw attention to oneself indicated an addmission on the part of said loudmouth that he doubted the value of the words and ideas themselves...trying to compensate for small ideas with BIG WORDS!

text: I have been brought a Labeled Charles Stratton, Holden Massachusetts clock case. The case is in good condition. It has carved half columns. The printer of the label is still legible and is kind of odd=J.M. Spy Office, Worcester ,Mass. It appears that the movement ( missing with dial) was held in by two wooden strips mounted on the back board. The top splat is also missing. I have searched the internet for photo's of something similar. Haven't had much luck with a name or printer search. Any info. pertaining to Charles Stratton would be appreciated . The Gentleman that brought the case to me seems to think that this is a rather rare clock and should be restored.He's been an auction "assistant" for many years and has an immensely extensive personal collection..Since I don't have an original wooden movement or dial am wondering if this is really worth pursuing...I look at it like you'd look at a corvette car =If all of the parts are not original to the clock is the clock actually valuable! I will attempt to post photo's later.meanwhile anyone that knows anything about the maker; your comments would be appreciated and helpful! Thank you in advance!!

Marin is buckling down on wildfire preparedness.
Following the key recommendation of a civil grand jury report, representatives from cities, towns and fire agencies throughout Marin have formed a working group to explore the creation of a joint powers agency that would develop and implement a new countywide wildfire prevention program. Though the jury suggested a quarter-cent sales tax to fund this effort, the Board of Supervisors instead plans to put a countywide parcel tax on the March 2020 ballot.
Supervisors formally submitted their response to the jury's April report, "Wildfire Preparedness: A New Approach," on Tuesday, largely agreeing with the assessment that Marin is unprepared for a significant wildfire. The board prepared its response in collaboration with county fire chiefs, the sheriff's office and several other county agencies; responses from cities and towns as well as all the individual fire districts are due later this month.
Though the investigation was highly critical of the county's preparedness, the response from the Marin County Fire Chief Jason Weber, as well as supervisors, has been to mobilize.
"I thought the grand jury report was terrific," Kathrin Sears, the board's president, said on Tuesday as she kicked off the discussion.
Supervisors believe a new joint powers agency could tackle the majority of the jury's concerns, including enhancing fuel reduction and vegetation management, evacuation planning and neighborhood preparedness, and strengthening alert and warning systems, defensible space home evaluations and education. The agency would be charged with pursuing grant opportunities for the county.
Not all of the jury's more specific recommendations can be implemented right away, however, according to the board.
Though the jury explicitly pressed the county to hire at least 30 new civilian vegetation inspectors and at least eight fire crews focused on fuel reduction in the areas of highest risk, supervisors deferred staffing increases to the discretion of the joint powers agency.
The board pushed back on the jury's directive to turn the Alert Marin and Nixle emergency alert systems into opt-out databases that would reach more residents.
Alert Marin already includes all available landline and voice-over-internet data for residents and businesses in the county; opting out of the service requires contacting the county's office of emergency services. Nixle requires subscribing online or via text with a mobile device.
Adding mobile numbers and emails to either system would require changes in state law, the board wrote in its response to the jury. "At this time, the only way to obtain residents' mobile numbers and emails is to encourage self-registration; telecommunications companies will not share this data."
Yet supervisors did commit to supporting new legislation, such as S.B. 46, that would allow local governments to enter into agreements to access cell phone contact information strictly for the purpose of creating public emergency systems.
The board questioned the jury's hope that the county would expand the use of sirens paired with long-range acoustic devices that emit extra-loud tones and voice messages. "Local testing has provided mixed results based on topography and other competing outdoor existing noise," supervisors wrote. Still, the board acknowledged that such devices can be helpful in some areas, and tasked the joint agency with further analysis of the possibility.
The board and the jury also diverged over the discussion of the role of Marin's public transportation system in emergency preparedness. Though the jury argued that public transit was an underutilized resource, supervisors confirmed that the county's emergency operations center coordinates with Marin Transit through the emergency radio system MERA. All operators for Marin Transit are trained to respond to and assist in emergency situations.
Despite these sticking points, the board largely agreed that all areas of preparedness should be revitalized.
The supervisors' letter committed to streamlining vegetation management approaches in the new wildfire prevention program that the joint powers agency would develop, and updating existing codes and procedures as early as this fall. Cooperative compliance, as opposed to a punitive enforcement approach, is the goal.
The county is also working on publicizing evacuation routes countywide. In 2009, Marin fire agencies developed "mutual threat zone" maps, identifying primary and secondary evacuation routes and preferred evacuation zones. The information is available to mutual aid responders outside of the county, but has not been made publicly available.
Marin County Fire Chief Jason Weber explained at Tuesday's meeting that the maps had to be washed of private information, such as gate codes, before being released.
The board tasked the joint powers agency with further planning for larger-scale evacuations. "Strategies for how to implement measures during a no-notice emergency event would need to be developed, including flexibility to respond to the unique characteristics of each event and the ability to implement measures with limited time, personnel and equipment," the board wrote. "Coordination with public works agencies and Caltrans would be necessary, and traffic modeling to test best routes and tactics would be needed to help quantify the benefits of different strategies and to support informed decision making."
Supervisors also stressed that the countywide wildfire prevention program will include a comprehensive education program, one of the jury's most commonly cited concerns.
Though responses to the jury's April report are not due until July 18, the Inverness Public Utility District—which pairs with the fire department for Inverness—submitted a response in June.
The district agreed there are too few trained vegetation inspectors and fuel reduction crews in the county. It also weighed in that the emergency alert systems don't reach enough residents, that there are many areas where roads and infrastructure are inadequate for mass evacuations, and that there are insufficient public funds for wildfire preparedness education.

When Valentine's Day comes around, love is in the air. While we all devote the holiday to our sweetheart, friends and family, it's also a perfect occasion to show yourself some love. You do so much for many, but when is the last time that you did something just for you? Taking care of your personal well-being allows you to be the best version of yourself for everyone and everything in your life. So turn V-Day into "Me Day" with these self-care tips you'll adore.
- Bask in a warm bath – While showers will get you clean, baths will get you relaxed. A long soak in a warm bath can soothe achy, tired muscles and ease stressed, weary minds. Sprinkle in some Epsom salts to absorb the calming mineral magnesium and flush toxins from your system.
- Nourish your body – Did you know that your diet affects your mood? See, the nutrients, vitamins and minerals in your diet can make a major difference in the way you feel and function. So fill your plate with fresh fruit, veggies, lean protein, wholesome grains and healthy fats. And supplement your meals with essential vitamins and minerals to replenish your overall health.
- Move outside – Stroll around the neighborhood, go for a long bike ride or jump-start your morning with a run. By getting your body moving, your brain releases "feel-good" serotonin, which can boost your mood and reduce your stress. And a good workout in the great outdoors lets you appreciate the beauty all around you.
- Unplug to unwind – Give yourself the gift of a digital detox. Disconnecting from the world lets you reconnect with yourself. Turn off your phone and take a break from social media for an hour every day. When you're not focused on technology, you're able to focus on yourself.
- Quiet your mind – Taking a few moments to meditate can have a huge impact on your health and your overall well-being. Is your mind always racing? Ease into meditation by simply practicing deep breathing. You'll soon feel the stress of the day melt away. Over time, you'll see how meditation can help ease anxiety, improve your sleep, enhance your memory, lower your blood pressure and give you a better outlook on life.
- Make yourself happy – Have some fun by doing something you enjoy. Read a book, see a movie, dance around the house or make a date with friends for some fun. Just do something that makes you feel good about yourself and your life.
- Treat yourself to dark chocolate – Indulge your craving for rich, dark chocolate. Along with giving yourself a treat, you'll get the stress-busting, mood-boosting, joy-producing benefits from the endorphins in dark chocolate.
Give yourself the love you deserve for a happier, healthier you. To start making yourself a priority and treating yourself well, call the biostation™ today at 561-257-3497 or contact us online to schedule your private, personal consultation.

As I sit on the crapper my thoughts go will-nilly sometimes. This morning I got the word "Kudos" stuck in my widdle brain. Then I thought "what the hell IS a kudo, anyway?"
According to the Wiki- World it " means "fame" and "renown" resulting from an act or achievement." Evidently kudos was originally singular even though to us it appears to be plural. Thus one can not give one kudo, at least not in the common English usage.
That made me think of other weird things like, "screaming meemies". My grandmother had those sometimes and when she did, you had better watch out! While I think I know what they feel like, I was not so sure of the origin of the phrase so I looked it up. ( I loves me some computer dictionary!)
According to Slang Citya screaming meemie " was originally a rocket in the First World War. It went up into the air, came down making a loud screaming noise, and exploded when it hit the ground (or an unfortunate soldier). Needless to say, hearing one coming would make you pretty nervous!
In the Second World War, screaming meemie was used specifically about a rocket called the nebelwerfer. Its other nickname was moaning minnie (also from the sound it made), an expression which is now used in British slang to describe a person who complains a lot."
I love my new expression: "moaning minnie"! I will definitely try hard to NOT be one!
Meanwhile. I am so overwhelmed (can one be underwhelmed or even just "whelmed? YES ! ) by the outpouring of responses to my recent blog about my daughter, Birdpress's wedding. It's almost as if we'd had you all there with us to help celebrate the occasion!
So to all of my blog commenters, for being there to make the experience even richer I say:
(Feel free to grab this little present!)
I only started blogging here at wordpress.com back in February of this year but since then I have made so many wonderful friends. I honestly think that you all helped me survive my divorce and you shared my sense of wonder and renewal as I learned how to manage my (fairly) new relationship with D'Bear. You laughed at with me as I "walked the Bob", you celebrated my being "Freak of the Week" , you listened to me rant when I need to dump some crap about my ex, and you've made me laugh so hard at your crazy, wonderful views of the world that I've nearly peed myself (Thank Goddess for those Kegels!).
You're all heroes in my book and I am eternally grateful that you're all in my life.

Leave it to Facebook to add another layer to engagement! You may have recently noticed the phrases "Valued Commenter" and "Top Fan" appearing above the names of a select few Facebook users. This is a part of Facebook's global rebrand strategy where the platform is being redesigned around groups and events, as revealed at Facebook's F8 developer conference.
So how do you become qualified for these badges, and what are the possible benefits to your business? Read on to find out!
The Valued Commenter badge is fairly self-explanatory. Comment often and the prize is yours!
However, achieving Top Fan status is a little more intensive. According to Facebook, a user qualifies for Top Fan status when "they are one of the most active people on your Page."
This can include:
Also, they will be visible publicly on a top fans list on your Page's Community tab.
Thanks to this new feature it is now easier than ever before to identify and connect with the people that are interested in your business offering. This opens up a world of opportunity for marketers!
Curious how to tap into this group of super fans? Here are just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing...
We highly recommend you retarget your fans with higher value content offers to push them through the funnel. You can create a custom audience in Facebook based on people who take key actions like:
To do this, simply go to your Facebook Ads Manager and click:
Assets > Audiences > Create audience > Custom Audience > Use Facebook Sources: Facebook Page.
Decide which objective fits your goals, set the timeframe, and watch the conversions roll in!
You already have fans raving about your brand. Why not leverage those people to reach an even wider audience? By reaching out to your top fans and offering incentives like discounts and exclusive perks in exchange for their continued brand promotion, you are able to tap into their interpersonal network of family and friends you may not otherwise be able to reach. And your top fans get easier access to the products or services they already love! It's a win-win.

text: Response to "The Death of a Moth" by Virginia Woolf, The Lost Origins of the EssayThe thing that is at stake in this essay is the life and death of the moth. As a simple creature that is often overlooked, the moth has a lot to teach people. The moth is the main character that undergoes a change from living (and fighting to live) to dying. There is no traditional dialogue but Woolf does put herself in the story in first person. The moth fights its epic battle in the corner of a room with a window (setting). The theme or the moral of the story is life is worth fighting for no matter how insignificant and inconsequential one might feel. This is a marvelous essay which works on many levels, just like "The Raven." It uses a simple commonplace being like the moth to illustrate the meaning of life, perhaps to say that the meaning of life is just to live. For example, "this gigantic effort on the part of an insignificant little moth, against a power of such magnitude, to retain what no one else valued or desired to keep, moved one strangely." Perhaps what Woolf is also trying to say is that people need to stop relying on other people's metrics of what is valuable and instead find their own value in life. The essay does not cross into fiction and there is nothing about this essay that does not work.

Azhar movie review
A morally questionable match-fixing scandal, dubious bookies, and a tainted Indian cricket captain doing just about anything to clear his name – director Tony D'Souza's 'Azhar' has all it takes to make for an interesting film.
You can also see that it's been made to clear the real player's name: a court did over-turn the ban but the whole process took so long that it became besides the point. The film remains strangely ambivalent about its hero while mouthing 'seeti-maar' dialogue about 'desh' and 'qaum': to have made the point the way it needed to be made, the film needed to have been braver and sharper. Alas, this bio-pic has no teeth. Oops, sorry, this ain't no bio-pic, 'coz, look momma, it names no names.
Not only is there a parade of Kapils and Sachins (no, gasp, Dev or Tendulkar), the eponymous hero is not, double gasp, Mohammad Azharduddin but `Azhar Mohd' who just happens to be a Hyderabad lad, whose affections for a Bollywood starlet lead him to abandon his first wife, and whose accidental dealings with a bookie leads him into abyss.
Emran Hashmi, usually so watchable, is buried under the inept script, which hints at shadowy dons and the guilty parties in a fuzzy, indistinct manner. But Hashmi is earnest, and the only saving grace here. Prachi Desai is rouged and demure and distressed, Nargis Fakhri as Sangeeta ( not, never, Bijlani) is pouty, Lara Dutta as the lawyer for the cricket council ( not, never, BCCI), is svelte but miscast, and Roy Kapur struggles with a bad wig and exaggerated accent, and Sharma as the bookie who makes the advances, is perenially oily.
From delving into Azharuddin's past to his 12-year-long legal battle to contest the life ban on cricket and his relationship with wives Naureen and Sangeeta Bijalni- the film offers everything.

It's either break the rules or die.
Miki Jones lives her life by her own strict set of rules, to keep control, to keep the gray fog of grief at bay. Then she's pulled into the Game, where she—and her team—will die unless she follows a new set of rules: those set by the mysterious Committee.
But rules don't mean answers, and without answers, it's hard to trust. People are dying. The rules are unraveling. And Miki knows she's being watched, uncertain if it's the Drau or someone—something—else. Forced to make impossible choices and battling to save those she loves, Miki begins to see the Committee in a glaring new light.
And then the Game crosses a new boundary, pushes harder into Miki's and her friends' lives, and there's nothing in the rules that can save them now.
Push is the sequel Rush fans will be screaming for.
I really wanted to like Push, but it really just fell flat for me. I was bored out of my mind! Last year I read the first book, Rush, and I liked it, but I wasn't overly blown away. I felt that Push made no progress from where Rush left off. The plotline was boring, the characters were flat, and I really felt like I was just reading Rush all over again. There was nothing that made this book unique from the second one.
What bothered me the most in Push was the main character, Miki. It's been awhile since I've read Rush, but I remember Miki's character being a little hesitant. She was totally wrapped up in Jackson and trying to figure out the game. There was just nothing all that special about her. From the very instant that Push starts, Miki is all of a sudden this born to be leader and she comes out of her shell a little bit more. Scratch that…a lot a bit more. It was really weird seeing that change in her that really didn't happen in the first book. I'm all for character development…but come on. Miki didn't seem like a leader in the first book. It was odd to have her jump into that role so easily.
Another thing that I didn't like was the fact that Miki kept accurately guessing everything that was going to happen with Jackson. I wanted mystery and suspense. I wanted to be shocked. Instead, I just went along with Miki because she was always right. That being said, I was never upset over Jackson or the storyline, because I knew how everything was going to turn out.
Push is filled with action scenes, but I was bored out of my mind during each and every single one of them. I don't even know how that's possible! I think it really came down to the fact that I had basically read those same scenes in Rush. There was nothing that set Push aside and made it better or stronger than the first book. Honestly, I thought that Push was way worse than Rush due to its lack of progression.
Another problem that I encountered that I also encountered in Rush was the extreme insta lovey quality that this series has. Miki and Jackson are all up in each other with the "I love you's" Blah. Blah. Blah. I want a little romance and some suspense. Not a Valentines Day love parade 24/7. Also, not being the biggest fan of Miki made it difficult.
I made it 50% into this book before I called it quits. I was just way too bored to continue. This is not a series that I would recommend or one that I will be continuing.

Crafting Essays about Beauty
Crafting Essays about Beauty
Crafting an essay concerning the thing you cannot impression with your hands or understand with one of your sensory faculties is usually a rough undertaking. If you have a precise activity to clarify a given charm thought or the great thing about individuals, it will probably be incredibly easier rather than create your idea about a specific thing intangible. Let's have for the essays about elegance from distinct aspects and identify how your essay will want to look like. Scroll down to start to see the tips on how to publish a very good essay about natural beauty and also things linked to it.
Create a tough thesis
It's the idea you should acquire and the main problem within the document that you must get rid of. If you must blog about elegance, you can look at the examples below:
- The method of inner magnificence and the concealed area of human's persona.
- The technique of the sweetness that is related to the visual appearance of any our.
- The method of the best thing about residing beings and aspect close to you.
- The very idea of beauty of inanimate details.
With regards to the approach, you are likely to build-up a unique account for every single of those. It is possible to review the wonder ideas a variety of ages and epochs. Or get the matter that affects you the most. As an illustration, you can actually produce the physical aspect is not really the most important thing that specifies if the individual is beautiful or otherwise. A different sample is usually about the best thing about nature around the whole world as well as its influence on the people that reside there and the like. Your imagination and creativeness are the only restricts in developing a thesis.
Brain your thing
If you're publishing an essay about natural beauty, you must meet up with traditional design and style prerequisites. Don't use terms or slang phrases. It's not a buyessay great concept to judge many people or living beings whenever they take a look different from you by expressing they are not wonderful. You need to use bad decision only if they are backed by evidence you bring from effective sources. Even so, we don't suggest you to make use of unnatural language or far too proper style and design.
If you utilize your healthy foreign language, it will likely be considerably simpler for you to convey your thoughts and paraphrase the best beneficial facts through your suppliers. Don't create any new solutions to formatting your cardstock. Stick to the instructions available from your professor. Use one font for the entire textual content and conventional space in addition. For those who have an opportunity to use an additional typeface, print the paper to see how legible it can be. Remember fondly the principle that much less is more effective.
How to carry out the research?
Examining loads of ebooks won't assist in case you don't realize how to perform researching to the essay. You will find a great deal of info that can be worthless once you commence composing the written text. What's the most crucial while undertaking the studies? It's a thesis. You ought to brain it and devote more time to only around the messages or articles and reviews that are based on it. You will probably be remarkably determined to read a great deal of places, but decrease while focusing only on important things.
Use the thesis or many of all of them with you to ultimately the local library or simply just place them locally when you will surf the Internet. Ask yourself, "Alright, so what?" anytime the simple truth is beneficial information on the main topic of your essay. Consider what benefit it includes on your behalf and the visitors. Imagine if it will help you show your fights on the text message. Thinking that you will save this page or this informative article and you will then check out it in certain time is drastically wrong. You won't do this even each year. Backup the complete phrases and phrases together with the headline and the publisher in the book.
The way to surface your essay?
Once your research is done, you will find a website page or two brimming with the citations from several resources. Start composing our bodies component in places you will place them. Commit an individual paragraph within the text to 1 issue from you. Summarize your feelings, estimate some forthcoming studies on the subject in the end, and take note of the advent. In case you have the words well prepared, proofread it and request somebody to evaluate your idea. It can be done by yourself if you happen to placed the wording out for several days and come back to it once again after.

The motivation for this post is the Coursera class "Graph Analytics for Big Data" by the University of California San Diego I am currently taking. One of the algorithms that we briefly touched was shortest path between two nodes by Edsger Dijkstra.
The algorithm comes in different flavors. One can compute the shortest path between two nodes, the shortest paths between all nodes, among others. In this case I just went with the first approach. Continue reading "Graphs – Shortest Distance Paths"
