The Valley Of Flowers: A Trip To Remember
A beautiful meadow with enchanting blossoms, the Valley of Flowers, is a place famed for the soul-stirring scenery it provides when the flowers are in full bloom. God's Eden is a must visit!
By Arpan Kanthal
It all started when one of my friends was told by a driver about a valley, nestled amidst the majestic Himalayan peaks of Nanda Devi, Rathaban and Nilagiri. A valley covered with flowers in varied shapes, sizes, shades and scents, a valley so beautiful that it is considered an abode of the fairies by the locals.
After a month of planning, I finally managed to book tickets to Delhi. I could barely wait. It was just a matter of time before I could see the place rumoured to be 'God's Eden'.
The Valley of Flowers is part of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, in the Chamoli District in Uttarakhand. The final lap of the journey involves trekking from Govindghat. The route-map to Govindghat by road is as follows:
- Haridwar 25km
- Hrishikesh 70km
- DevPrayag 31km
- Srinagar 34km
- Rudraprayag 23km
- Karnaprayag 30km
- Nandaprayag 11km
- Chamoli 58km
- Joshimath 21km
Planning tip
When you plan, do keep two buffer days to handle unpredictable contingencies like landslides/cloudbursts, which are very common in Garhwal region. Remember that night travel is not allowed in the mountains, so plan your journey accordingly.
The pursuit
I wasted no time upon reaching Delhi. From Delhi I caught a bus to Haridwar at around 3:00 p.m. and reached Haridwar by 8:30 p.m. You get numerous shared taxis, buses, autos going towards Rishikesh round the clock. I got down at the Rishikesh bus stand at 9:15 p.m. where the first bus to Joshimath was to leave at 3:30 a.m. the next morning.
A local tea vendor suggested that I take the press cab, which delivers newspapers to far-flung areas; hence there are no night travel restrictions on them. As I was travelling alone, I took my chance. A cab-ride at night can get scary. After reaching Joshimath at around 2:30 p.m., I immediately set out for Govindghat, catching another shared taxi, which I later discovered to be the last one for the day. Once you reach Govindghat, you have completed the easiest part of the journey.
- Delhi to Haridwar by bus: 320
- Haridwar to Rishikesh by shared auto: 30
- Rishikesh to Chamoli by shared taxi: 325
- Chamoli to Joshimath by shared taxi: 60
- Joshimath to Govindghat by shared taxi: 30
The grind
I call this phase 'the grind' because this is the time your muscles are tested to its limit, by the rough and rocky mountain terrain waiting ahead. After offering a silent prayer at the gurudwara in Govindghat at 3:00 p.m., I set out towards Ghangaria. This place is the base camp for both the Valley of Flowers and the Hemkund Sahib. The distance was 14km.
I began on a sprightly note. An hour and 3km later, the hop had reduced to a crawl. I was so tired but then reminded myself how beautiful the valley would be and that thought spurred me to continue on my trekking journey. I realised that a climb becomes arduous only if you think of it as a roadblock. So, I lifted my head up to take in the beautiful views around me, instead of fixating on the stony path, and I realised what I had been missing all along. I forgot the fatigue when I saw the path lined with beautiful flowers in all shapes and sizes. Numerous waterfalls and magnificent peaks were standing guard against the marauding sun, giving the valley a shaded comfort.
The climb to Ghangaria ideally takes 6-8 hours and passes through the picturesque villages of Pulna and Bhyundar. It is very important to start early and finish before daylight fades. Ensure that you take plenty of rest on the way as there is a lot more trekking to be done in the following couple of days. Fortify yourself with plenty of glucose-water.
I managed to reach Ghangaria only by 8:30 p.m. (five and a half hours). I had to trek two hours in the pitch-black forest with just a flimsy beam of light from my torch for company. It was a scary experience. Upon reaching Ghangaria, I rushed to the nearest guest house and slept.
Two hours later, I woke up shivering, only to realise that I hadn't pulled the blanket on. The temperatures go below zero at night, so do carry warm clothing. Accommodation is freely available, but during the peak season (June-August) do book your rooms at the GMVN (Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam) guest house in advance.
Owing to the place's remote location, everything is priced at thrice the original price, so make sure that you carry most of your stuff, including food, with you. Be prepared to pay exorbitant prices for mediocre food. It is advisable not to try out fancy food items and stick to tried and tested stuff.
In retrospection, I committed two mistakes that a backpacker should never commit:
1. Measure the complexity of a trek by its distance
2. Carry a backpack weighing 12kg
If trekking is not your idea of fun, and you only want to visit the valley then you can hire mules to carry you to Ghangaria. Cost is 700 rupees per person one way.
- Hotel Priya Single Room: 00 (Very basic Amenities)
- GMVN Guest House (Can be pre-booked online)
- Deluxe tents at 1800. Prices grow exponentially during July August peak season. Food cost is 200 rupees per person per meal
God's Eden
After breakfast, I set out. Crossing a flimsy makeshift bridge made from sheet metal, I reached the entrance to the park. The entry fees to this haven was 150 rupees, a price that does no justice to a place which gives so much joy to people. The guards ask you to be back by 6 p.m. as camping inside the valley after dark is not only illegal, but dangerous.
The 6km trail which starts from the check post and ends somewhere in the valley is by far the most beautiful trail I have ever walked. The moss-covered logs, the majestic pine trees, the river roaring and the eager anticipation of the first valley-view, leads to a euphoria beyond words. The valley officially starts when you cross the 5th makeshift bridge as the scent of numerous flowers reach you.
The path itself is lined with flowers of so many vivid shades and wondrous perfumes. This is a trail open to your exploration. Avoid walking fast and savour every whiff of fresh air mixed with the smell of flowers and every view of the snow-clad peaks.
Back in Ghangaria, I stumbled upon Rajneesh Chauhan's shop, a treasure trove of information about the valley. Rajneesh knows the valley and its trails thoroughly and conducts guided tours. After grabbing a few souvenirs from his shop, I headed back to my room for some sleep. The next day would be more arduous.
The icy lake: Hemkund Sahib
Along the way to Ghangaria, you will meet many Sikhs. They are however conspicuous in their absence in the Valley of Flowers. This is because, every year between June and September, Sikhs throng to Hemkund Sahib on a pilgrimage.
Hemkund is the name of the lake formed by water from the melting snow caps and glaciers in this region. Undaunted by sub-zero temperatures and the risk of hypothermia, thousands of devotees take a holy dip in this lake. I decided to go ahead and join them.
The water was so cold, it felt as if icy needles were pricking every pore of my skin. I could barely finish my third dip before rushing out. But strangely enough, after you get out of the pool you start feeling warm, partly because the temperature outside is lower than your body temperature and partly because of the sense of achievement of completing what seemed to be insane in the first place.
After quickly drying myself, I went to the gurudwara to offer prayers. Inside, I was given a warm blanket and a hot ball of sweetened rice. Only then did it really hit me that I had done it, that I had accomplished what I set out to do. What seemed and was deemed impossible by most, was now on my 'done and dusted' list. After offering my heartfelt gratitude I rose from my spot, only to be whisked away by a gentleman to the langar (Gurudwara kitchen) for some hot tea and a bowl of steaming khichdi. Both the tea and the khichdi were marvellous, and so was the hospitality of the people. I had my fill as I needed every ounce of energy to complete the 19km trek back to Govindghat.
Again, if you are not willing to trek to Hemkund, you can hire mules to take you to the peak, for prices ranging 500-700 rupees per person up and down.
The journey back: An experience in itself
I started my descent quickly hoping to reach Govindghat before daylight faded and reach Joshimath where I intended to halt for the night. From Joshimath, there are frequent buses leaving for Rishikesh, starting from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. from the GMOU (Garhwal Motor Owner's Union Ltd.) office. You could also get shared taxis to Srinagar/Rishikesh but make sure you start early as night travel is not permitted on the road leading to Rishikesh. You can hope to reach Rishikesh by 6:00 p.m. in the evening.
Landslides are a problem and I encountered one on my way back. As my shared taxi crossed the last landslide-affected region and drifted away from the mountains, I experienced mixed emotions. Sad, because I was leaving, but happy as I had got a glimpse of God's Eden.
- Joshimath to Rishikesh by shared taxi: Rs 370
A trip to the Valley of Flowers is one that every travel aficionado must try once in a lifetime. The stunning landscape coupled with the euphoria one feels as he or she gazes upon fields of beautiful flowers is one that cannot be described in words. You must go see it for yourself to understand the magic of this place.

Birthday Stir-Fry with Buckwheat soba & Umeboshi Plums
Simple Stir-Fry
This is it. This is the basic food concoction that started it all for me. When I worked at the Wedge Co-op in Minneapolis I was introduced to so many wonderful new foods. Kale was one of them. Not really wanting to eat it raw I decided to use the suggested recipe on the back of the Lady Moon Farms label: Heat some oil in a pan, add minced garlic, wash and chop kale, saute, add a little lemon juice enjoy. Okay I remember thinking simple enough. Kablam! A whole new world was opened up to me. So after years (about a decade to be exact) I have perfected my all-time favorite default meal...Stir-fry. Usually when folks approach me about their first time foray into a new vegetable (and usually its Kale!) AND tofu I write this recipe down for them. I stay away from quantities because I have never measured this one out. And frankly you really don't need a recipe for this dish. Oh AND this is a GREAT meal to make on a Sunday night along with a pot of brown rice and eat from it all week long by refreshing it with steamed veggies! Can you say healthy and economical?
Simple Stir-Fry
serves as many as you'd like
You will need:
A large saute pan or wok
Oil (olive, unrefined coconut or ghee)
Garlic (about 2-3 cloves) minced
Fresh ginger, about 1 tablespoon, grated (powdered will work too)
Cayenne (to taste/optional)
Braggs or Tamari
Lemon Juice (optional)
Extra Firm Tofu drained, squeezed of its water and cut into one inch cubes
Washed spun dry and chopped (about 3-5 cups) Kale (any kind)
(Any green veggie will work, kale, collards, broccoli, bok choy and cabbage work great)>
(Any green veggie will work, kale, collards, broccoli, bok choy and cabbage work great)>
Carrots, julienned
One white or purple onion sliced and diced any way you'd like
You can keep adding to your hearts content...other great additions are pea pods, corn, mushrooms, peppers etc...
Have everything chopped, grated, minced and ready to go...
Heat the oil on medium to medium low heat. When hot add the garlic, ginger, cayenne and saute until fragrant (about one minute) add a splash of Braggs or Tamari and Lemon Juice. Add the tofu in an even layer saute/cook your cubes, flipping them over every 2 minutes for 8-10 minutes, adding a splash here and there of Braggs or Tamari. Then add your onions, saute until almost translucent, add your carrots, another spash of Braggs or Tamari and Lemon Juice, saute for 2 more minutes, add your kale and other healthy splash of Braggs or Tamari andLemon Juice cover and steam until the greens are bright or if using a wok saute until bright green. Serve over brown rice or buckwheat soba noodles.

A/2008/0236/O – An email from Mr Burke, O'Connor Burke Architecture including a statement in support of this application. The Head of Planning informed Members that Ms L McWilliams, Department for Infrastructure- Roads (DfI Roads) was in attendance and could answer questions on this application.
LA11/2019/0012/F and La11/2018/0929/F- An email and attached letter from Dickson and McNulty Solicitors, on behalf on Mr O'Kane had been received in objection to the application.
In response to a question from Councillor Jackson regarding application A/2014/0086/F, the Head of Planning clarified that only an Elected Member could request deferral of an application.
Running Order of Applications
The Chair confirmed the running order for applications during the meeting. He advised that the applications which had indicated speakers would be presented first.
Following a request from Councillor McKnight, the Chair confirmed that application LA11/2018/0841/RM could be presented earlier in the meeting than originally planned.
Point of Clarification
The Head of Planning referred to an issue surrounding Hydro schemes raised by Councillor Hastings at a meeting of the Planning Committee held on 6 March 2018.
She clarified that this item had been dealt with in Committee, had followed appropriate planning protocol and had not been delegated.
Planning Applications List with Recommendation for Decision PDF 50 KB
Additional documents:
A/2014/0086/F-Redevelopment of vacant lands for an unattended 24 hour operating filling station (incorporating new canopy, 4 fuel dispensers, new underground fuel tanks, upgraded associated site works and site boundaries plus a "fuel cash and carry" sales building and car wash. (Transport assessment received). Lands adjacent to Rossdowney Road and Crescent Link Junction.
The Head of Planning presented the above application, details of which had been previously circulated to Members. She provided a brief update on the status of the application and advised that further consultation had taken place with DfI Roads on the 10 March 2019. She further advised that after material consideration and in line with planning policy, the Officer's recommendation remained to refuse planning permission for reasons as outlined within the report.
Mr T McIvor, MCI Development addressed the Committee. The main purpose of his address was to seek a deferral of the application from the Committee.
The Chair clarified that proposals of any deferral could only be received from Elected Members of the Planning Committee.
Councillor Jackson reminded Members that the Planning Committee had recognized issues of road safety within the application when it was first presented. He explained that Members' concerns were forwarded for consultation with DfI Roads and after consultation reports from Transport NI had justified these concerns. He stated that whilst he had no issue with a deferral being granted, he would have issue if road safety concerns were ignored.
Mr McIvor responded that whilst he appreciated that Council had safety concerns, he would like the opportunity to fully review all papers associated with the application as he had only recently taken over this application.
Ms McShane, Kevin McShane Ltd Transport Consultants, addressed the Committee in support of the application.
Alderman McClintock expressed she would not support a deferral at this stage. She stated that assumptions had been made that an approval may have been granted had there not been a site visit and highlighted that she felt any petrol station on the site would have significant footfall and would add to the traffic congestion on the road.
Councillor Jackson highlighted the impact the application could have on the likelihood of accidents occurring in the area given that there were already areas of safety concern on the Crescent Link.
In response, Ms McShane explained that only a very small proportion of the cars travelling on the Crescent Link would make the right hand turn into the petrol station. She advised the modelling example which she had carried out had indicated that the application would have little impact on the risk of accidents in the area.
In response to a question from Councillor D Kelly, Ms McShane advised that there would be no retail unit on the site and that fuel sales for coal would be scaled back.
Councillor McGuire advised that no agents are allowed at site meetings.
In response to a question from Councillor D Kelly, Ms McWilliams (DfI Roads) advised that a closer look at the ... view the full minutes text for item P60/19

5 Tips – Parents of young advanced/gifted children
Five tips for parents of young advanced/gifted children to recognise or identify about their children
- Identifying advanced development/ability/giftedness in your child is not dependent on having an IQ score – there are other ways to identify.
- Advanced development/giftedness can be observed very early in some children but not in all cases. Some children may not be easily identifiable till after, they start school. In addition, some early learning might be readily identifiable such as early reading and number skills, while other signs of advanced development maybe more abstract:
- sophisticated speech,
- a focus on abstract ideas, such as 'what is God?'
- mature understanding of cause and effect. (see Born To Soar list 'Indicators of Giftedness'.)
- Advanced development can be observed in a range of developmental areas from intellectual behaviours such as exceptional memory and vocabulary, to very skilful social skills for the child's age, to a noticeable emotional maturity. Physical skills are most likely to be age-typical.
- Advanced or gifted children are individual in their development just like all other children, so no two gifted children will be identical in their exceptional skill or learning.
- Accepting that your child is advanced or gifted does not automatically imply that you categorise your child as more important or worthwhile than other children. On one hand it is essential for your child's healthy sense-of-self that you acknowledge to your child and other family members that there are some areas of their learning which are advanced. While on the other hand, it is important to express the attitude that all individuals no matter what their level of learning are worthwhile in their own right.

Phone Scams Continue To Target Area Elderly Residents
Several area residents have recently been targeted by phone scams, and more than one unfortunately has resulted in the theft of several hundred dollars.
"While the type of scam may vary, from a thief posing as an IRS Agent or a representative of Publisher's Clearing House Prize Patrol, the common factors remain the caller is a thief trying to pressure or trick the victim into purchasing a gift card or ITunes card then provide the information from the back of the card," according to Cherokee County Sheriff David Groves.
"It's important to remember no government agency or reputable business will ever ask for payment with gift cards or ITune cards and as we've mentioned in the past, the IRS will never initiate contact with someone over the phone or by email and winners are never required to pre-pay taxes prior to receiving any prizes they may have won," reminds Sheriff Groves.
"These thieves involved in this type of criminal activity generally target seniors, so it's important for those with elderly parents or loved ones to have a conversation about the importance of not providing personal or financial information to callers, not obtain any gift cards because someone called them on the phone and instructed them to do so, and to not feel guilty about hanging up on people who call trying to get information from them. Finally, it's important they not feel embarrassed if they do become victims, and feel comfortable reporting any suspicious activity or conversations to family members or law enforcement," concluded Sheriff Groves.

Judy-Ann Chung: a dose of persistence
Budding pharmacist one of two NCF national champions
When Judy-Ann Chung applied to study pharmacy at university she knew her parents — a restaurant server and a taxi operator — couldn't afford the $1.3 million-a-year price tag.
But the 20-year-old former youth mayor of St Thomas (2015-2016) wasn't about to allow that to hinder her success. So she turned to the NCB Foundation.
"My household's gross monthly income is not even 10 per cent of that," she said in reference to the cost of the degree programme. "Over the years I have seen the NCB Foundation assist many students in positions similar to mine; those students who have the passion and potential but lack the finances required to chase their goals. So I decided to seek assistance from the foundation, instead of sitting idly by and allowing my financial situation to hinder my success."
The foundation answered her call, naming Chung one of two NCB Foundation National Champions for 2018 as part of its scholarships and grants programme which assists more than 300 students from the primary to tertiary levels annually.
Among this year's major recipients were 21 NCB scholars — 14 parish champions and seven Innovative, Creative, Outstanding and Nationalistic scholars each receiving a $300,000 scholarship award for the duration of his/her course of study. The students were selected based on exceptional academic performance, financial need, and impactful community involvement.
It's clear to see why Chung rose to the top.
She passed 12 Caribbean Secondary Examination Certificate (CSEC) exams while at Morant Bay High, and was very active in leadership and volunteer work. She was president of the Newsletter and Peer Counselling societies, assistant prefect and later on senior prefect, peer counsellor for four consecutive years, and a member of the Resource Committee of the Outreach Society.
"I do a lot of volunteer work that relates to the environment, such as beach clean-ups and participating in competitions and programmes aimed at promoting the reuse of items that would normally have been thrown away. I was a part of the 'Big Up Wi Beach' competition 2018's winning team. I also participate in charity work such as repainting basic schools in my community," she says. "To be honest, I started a life of volunteerism in the 10th grade when I was exposed to a plethora of projects that called to my innate desire to be an agent of change," she reveals.
It is a similar innate desire that is driving her to become a clinical pharmacist.
"I hope to become a clinical pharmacist that awards each and every patient with medication management of the highest calibre," she explains. "So, I chose this programme because pharmacists use their knowledge of the safe and effective use of medication to perform a meaningful service that seeks to better the health of individuals, and I would be honoured to be a part of this movement. I seek to have a positive effect on the lives of as many persons as I can," Chung says, adding that at the end of her five-year tenure at university she would like to work in a rural medical facility in which she feels she can make a bigger difference.
Describing herself as persistent and dedicated, she also prides herself on being a caring person who gets immense pleasure from helping others, qualities she credits to her biggest supporter, her mother.
"My mother is not only my biggest fan but also my biggest source of motivation. She has been a major driving force in getting me to where I am now. I honestly don't know where I would be without her constant guidance. Her strength in the face of adversity is truly awe-inspiring. Don't even get me started on her resourcefulness. We have never had a lot, but my mother somehow always managed to make sure it was enough. I aim to be even half the woman she is," Chung says.
Her mother is not her only motivation. She is also inspired by her view of success.
"To me, success means achieving all the goals you have set out for yourself so you can get to a place where you are living your best life. My mark of success is having a good career and a stable, wholesome family life. In my opinion, success cannot exist without happiness. Success is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. A major aim of everyone should be to be happy with their life. To be successful, you don't have to be rich, famous or powerful, but the mark of success is dependent on what each person values. I value my family and a future in clinical pharmacy," she explains.
And she says this scholarship will help her reach that goal.
The scholarship is valued at $500,000.

Martha and I made a quick visit to Susan's in Austin last week. While there I bought a pair of yoga pants at Lululemon. It's a store that sells fitness wear. All of the sales personnel are young and very fit! (Probably a requirement to work there.)
My purchase was put in a very nice bag which I'm sure is covered in the price of the garments. I didn't pay much attention to the messages on the bag until I got home but found there's some pretty good advice given:
- A daily hit of athletic-induced endorphins gives you the power to make better decisions, help you be at peace with yourself and offsets stress.
- Friends are more important than money.
- Your outlook on life is a direct reflection of how much you like yourself.
- Drink fresh water and as much water as you can. Fresh water flushes toxins from your body and keeps your brain sharp
- Write down two personal, two business and two health goals for the next 1, 5 and 10 years. Do this four times a year. Goal setting triggers your subconscious computer.
- Practice yoga so you can remain active in physical sports as you age.
- Creativity is maximized when you're living in the moment.
and finally
- Don't trust that an old age pension will be sufficient!
You just never know where you may discover a pearl of wisdom. I think I'll go get a glass of water and write down a few goals!–Then I'll call a friend.

Thinkmap Inc., a provider of visualization software, has released version 2.7 of its flagship visualization technology product, the Thinkmap SDK (Software Development Kit). The SDK is a full-featured application designed to enable developers to create visualization applications such as Thinkmap's Visual Thesaurus. These visualizations are used in financial services, government, education, and other industries, designed to help end-users navigate and understand relationships in large data sets.
The new version offers a number of features including: the ability to extend functionality through applying JavaScript from within XML configuration files; a new Eclipse-based Editor, which gives Thinkmap developers an IDE (Integrated Developer Environment) and the ability of new developers to work with the technology; an improved installer and documentation, which can speed up the process of developing applications with Thinkmap; and other behind-the-scenes improvements.
The Thinkmap SDK provides a toolset designed to allow developers to create applications for representing and navigating complex data sets. Thinkmap works with multiple data sources (XML, SQL, and Flat File Data) to present multiple views of the same data simultaneously, as well as incorporate multiple data sources into one visual interface. The Thinkmap SDK provides components for visual look and layout, behavior of the visualization, and data access and control. Several pre-configured visualizations are available to choose from; users can try different views of the same data. In addition, tutorials, a complete set of examples, and a library of interface elements are available to assist developers. Thinkmap SDK is sold in three editions: Standard, Professional, and Enterprise. Prices start at $10,000. The product can be purchased direct at the Thinkmap website.

A Selfish Reason to Play Great Individual Defense
October 31, 2017
If I were to ask you "Why is it important for you to play great individual defense?" what would you say? Chances are you would tell me how important it is for you to shut your man out and that if everyone kept his player's scoring down to a minimum then your team would have a much greater chance of winning the game.
You might tell me that playing great individual defense can create steals and deflections, which can help ignite your offense. It's also possible that you would tell me that playing great defense can break your opponent's spirit and put you on the fast track to domination.
All of these answers are good ones but they are not the only ones. There is another reason to play great individual defense, one that is often overlooked and under emphasized. The reason? Great individual defense keeps you out of foul trouble, off the bench, and in the game!
Now I know that some of you are thinking "I don't have to play grea defense to stay out of foul trouble - good defense is good enough. In fact, if I use my head I can get by playing justaverage defense." Not true!
One single "dumb" foul can put you in trouble and eventually plant you right on the end of the bench! Why? Because I have seen enough games over the years to know that the following is probably going to happen:
1. You're going to get one foul as a result of a bad call by one of the officials.
2. You're going to get one foul on a 50-50 call that could go either way. For example, a block or charge situation, a blocked shot or shooting foul, or even a possible double foul when boxing out or battling someone in the post. For some reason it always seems like the "other guy" gets the call made in his favor!
3. You'll have to use one foul for strategic reasons such as stopping a breakaway layup, disrupting the offense when your team has a foul to give, or when needing to put your opponent on the free throw line at the end of the game.
Those scenarios add up to three fouls, which leaves you only one more foul before you get your fourth and become a complete defensive liability. With four fouls your coach has to worry about hiding you since it's practically guaranteed that your opponent is going to concentrate on attacking you. Even worse, it means that only two more fouls and you're disqualified to even step foot on the court.
You've always been taught that if you commit five fouls you're out of the game but in reality if you make two defensive mistakes that result in fouls you're going to undoubtedly see your playing time greatly diminished.
So if you like playing and scoring and spending as much time on the court as possible then it's absolutely crucial that you strive to play great individual defense.
The next time you're feeling a little tired or a little lazy think twice before "resting" on defense because you don't really get as many fouls as you've always thought! (On a side note: if you find one of your opponent's playing anything less than great defense, take it right at him! Remember, he's only one or two "dumb" fouls from being sent to the bench himself!)

If your birthday is approaching and you want to surprise your friends while they are planning a surprise party for you, I have an idea. How interesting it would be if you could brew beer at home? It is an easy process and it is better than what you can get in a liquor shop. You can become popular and adorable among your friends and relatives if you serve them by preparing it yourself. A home brewed beer is always a better option if you have enough time to prepare it. It is also economical when you want to give it a try in your own micro brewery. Pull your socks and get ready to brew your own beer.
Complexity Level
Time taken
Approximately two weeks
Resources required
- A Brew Pot
- A kitchen strainer
- A kitchen thermometer
- A large funnel
- A rolling pin for crushing
- 3 Gallon container of bottled water
- A Bottling container
- 3 feet of 3/8″ clear poly-vinyl tubing – to siphon and ferment
- Bottles
- 3 lbs light dried malt extract
- 8 oz crushed crystal malt
- 1 oz Northern Brewer pellet hops
- 1 pkg brewers yeast
- 3/8 cup sugar for bottling
Step 1
Take a large plastic bag and put in roughly 8 ounces of crystal malt. Using the rolling pin, crush the grain. Remember, we simply want a coarse texture of broken grains and not something like flour so don't use too much pressure while doing this.
Step 2
Drill a hole in the cap of the container. Since we're using a 3/8" wide poly-vinyl tube, drill the hole of that size and give the air-lock a snug fit. This lets the carbon dioxide, produced during fermentation, escape but without letting the outside air in.
Step 3
The next step is called 'Steeping'. This is the process of extracting essence of our crystal malt. For this, take 2 1/2 gallons of water from the water bottle and pour it into the brew pot (be sure to leave some space from its top). Add the crushed grains to it. Heat the pot up to 150-155 degrees. Then turn off the heat and place a cover on the pot. Keep it in that state for about a half hour. Then strain it. For straining you can use the strainer or even use a cotton bag.
Step 4
This is the most important step of brewing. Boil the liquid. Remove it from the burner and add the malt extract and stir. Heat it again and boil it. Always remember do not over boil it. Then remove it from the burner and stir it in the malt extract. Boil it again. This is the point where you are at the risk of boiling over. After boiling for sometime add two-third (2/3) oz of hop pellets. Continue to boil for around another hour. This brings out the bitterness of the hops. After an hour, take it off the heat and add the last of the hops. At this point, you have produced non-fermented beer, also called as 'Wort'.
Step 5
Whatever comes in contact with the wort must be sanitized; else anything tiny & living can destroy your wort and make it undesirable. Sanitize everything, the strainers, funnels, containers, etc.
Step 6
Now the next step will be to cool the wort. The more quickly the wort cools, the better. You can partly immerse the brew pot in a tub (and add some ice for a much cooler temperature) of cold water.
Step 7
Once cooled, pour the wort into the sanitized 3 gallon container. And now, to pitch in the yeast (brewing term for adding yeast to the wort). Place the container (cap in place, fitted with the air-lock) in a dark and cool place. It needn't be pitch-dark and sunlight is a strict no. This is when the fermentation begins and it's best to leave it like that for about 7-10 days.
Step 8
After the fermentation, Beer is ready but it's flat. It needs 'priming'. This means you have to add sugar just before bottling it. The live yeast will convert the sugars into carbon dioxide.
Step 9
Boil 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of sugar in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes. Let it cool in a large container (like a large bucket) and then siphon your beer to that container. Be careful to not to disturb any sediment that's settled at the bottom. Now, your beer is primed and ready for bottling.
Step 10
Pour the beer to a bottle and store it for about a week. Your beer is ready.
Frequently asked questions
Q. Is there a set time period for home brewing?
A. No, there isn't any set period. The brewing time mostly depends on the style of beer you choose. The brewing time can range anywhere from two weeks to several months.
Quick Tips
- The ingredients you use should be fresh.
- Use sterilized vessels in the process.
- You should cool wort as soon as possible.
- Use glass as fermenting vessel and control the temperature while fermentation.
Things to watch out for
- For sanitization regular bleach can be used which is also used for household.
- Make sure you do not use wood spoon as stirrer.
- Temperature is very important and should be kept in mind while fermentation.

Mammograms in Denver
Our Breast Care Center is conveniently located near the corner of High and 21st Streets in Denver. Our spa-like setting will soothe you while our expert staff and experienced physicians will ensure a high-tech breast cancer screening.
When should you get a mammogram?
All women should go for breast cancer screenings regularly. The following are recommendations based on age.
- 20 to 39 years old—A professional should perform a Clinical Breast Exam (CBE) as a part of a regular health exam every three years. Women also should do regular breast self-exams (BSE) and alert a physician in the event of any changes.
- 40 years old and older—A professional should perform a CBE annually and women should have a mammogram each year.
Women who have a family history of breast cancer or are otherwise at increased risk should discuss necessary screenings with their physicians.
What to expect during a mammogram
- If you have sensitive breasts, schedule during a time you expect your breasts to be the least tender (perhaps avoiding the time around your period).
- The exam takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes
- Wear an outfit that allows you to remove only the top
- Avoid lotion, deodorant and powder on your underarms and breasts as they can interfere with the reading.
- You may feel a little pressure during the procedure but otherwise, it is painless
- Be prepared to discuss previous mammograms and breast health history
- Bring your referring physician's contact information and your insurance card
Additional breast health services include:
- Ductography

35mm f1.4 G AF-S Nikkor Lens main features
- Professional, wide-angle FX-format lens.
- 35mm focal length (DX equivalent: 52.5mm) with fast f/1.4 aperture.
- Outstanding optical performance: boasts an aspherical lens element for superior resolution and contrast.
- Bright Viewfinder image.
- Nano Crystal coat reduces ghost and flare.
- 9-blade rounded diaphragm opening for super-smooth bokeh.
- SWM (Silent Wave Motor) for quiet and accurate autofocus.
- Durable weather-sealed magnesium body.
- Detachable hood and soft case included.
This lens can be used on Nikon FX and DX DSLRs. When used on a DX camera, the lens provides the equivalent field of view of a 52.5mm lens in the 35mm format.
Technical terms
DX Format
DX is a lens designed exclusively for their APS-C sensored DSLRs, but can be used on their full frame cameras like 35 mm SLRs and full frame digital SLRs like the D3 series and D700 DSLRs. All lenses designated as DX type can be used with DX format digital SLR cameras. Many Nikkor lenses designed for FX or 35mm (135) film formats can also be used with DX format digital SLR cameras. The effect of using a Nikkor lens on a DX format camera will produce a magnification of the focal length of the lens by a factor of 1.5x (eg. a 50mm lens will produce the equivilant of a 75mm focal length).
G lenses do not have an aperture ring on the lens and must be controlled using the command dial on the camera.
FX format
The larger FX image sensor is virtually the same size as the 35mm (135) film format which means that the focal length of a lens used on either format will be virtually the same. Many Nikkor auto focus and manual focus lenses can be used with FX format cameras.
AF-Silent Wave Motor (AF-S) is what Nikon calls their ultra fast Auto-Focusing lenses which utilise Nikons silent wave motor (~SWM). This system works by converting travelling waves into rotational energy to focus the optics the ultrasonic waves move in a spiral pattern inside the barrel with the motor positioned on top of the waves driving it from below.Back to top

- In regular, permanent employment.
- Retired from regular employment - With a minimum age of 50.

Note: All applicants will be subject to a credit reference check by the lender.
The approval of your application depends on your financial circumstances and borrowing history. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photo Video act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
Can I repay early? If so how?
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period. Further information on how to make such repayments will be set out in the loan agreement pack provided by Barclays Partner Finance.
What happens if I don't repay within the first six months (deferral period)?
Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
What will I receive from the finance provider (lender)?
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan. You will also receive reminder letters and text at the end of the deferral period to remind you when your first payment is due.

Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis produced valiant knocks for South Africa at Manchester but it wasn't enough as visitors once again went down in this game as well. Hosts England comprehensively outplayed South Africa in all departments to see Joe Root and his men complete a historic series win. It was first time that England had beaten South Africa at home since Michael Atherton's side in 1998.
It always seemed inevitable as a score of 380 runs was tough ask for South Africa. But South Africa had a glimmer of hope with Amla and Du Plessis at the crease. The experienced duo in the batting lineup formed 123-run partnership as South Africa looked set to take the game well into the last day. Once again the Proteas capitulated badly as Hashim Amla's wicket started a procession to see three quick wickets in no time. Moeen Ali was chief architect with the ball as he just found enough from the surface to trouble the opposition batsmen.
Hashim Amla scored 83 runs and struck thirteen boundaries in his innings. Faf du Plessis also looked pro-active at the crease as looked for ones and twos to keep the scoreboard ticking along nicely. Du Plessis also was dismissed going for a big shot only to get an edge through wicket-keeper off the bowling of James Anderson.
England's new-ball pair of James Anderson and Stuart Broad were right on the money as they took out Dean Elgar and Heino Kuhn in the first 15 over of South African innings. Temba Bavuma also looked scratchy as he was dismissed by Toby Roland-Jones to see South Africa lose three wickets with 40 odd runs on the board.
South Africa's tail did not offer any resistance as Moeen Ali picked up yet another five-for to see visitors get dismissed for 202 all out to see England win the game by 177 runs. England also retained Basil D'Oliveira Trophy after beating South Africa by 3-1 in four-match Test series.
Moeen Ali was awarded man of the series for his 250 odd runs with the bat and 25 wickets with the ball in hand. South Africa's campaign ended in sheer disappointment as visitors failed to win anything on the tour that including their first-round exit from ICC Champions Trophy 2017.

A group of students organized a peaceful demonstration beside a table set up for military recruiters, Peyton Veitch, the University of Winnipeg Students' Association (UWSA) president, says.
"Myself and other members of the (UWSA) executive attended that protest in solidarity and to express our concerns with the militarization of our campus space," Veitch says. "It was a very respectful display."
As the protesters were getting ready to disperse, a group of U of W security officers came up to them to ask for their IDs.
"Students started asking some questions and raising some objections," Andrew Vineberg, one of the protesters, says. "The guards acted in an extremely aggressive and escalating manner and they were the ones who were initially aggressive and violent."
"There was a fairly heated exchange between one of the security guards and one of the students, which then resulted in a bit of pushing and shoving," Veitch says. "But luckily the situation was deescalated and cooled down and everyone went their separate ways."
The security situation raised some concerns among the students.
"Universities are the places where peaceful protest should be celebrated and I think that the response of the security service was disproportionate and heavy-handed in responding to a situation that was not out of hand and (where) no one's safety was at risk," Veitch says. "This demonstration absolutely did not violate the Respectful Working and Learning Environment Policy."
Chris Minaker, a senior executive officer and advisor to the president of the U of W, says the school supports the students' rights to demonstrate peacefully.
"Security heard that there was a protest and that there were students who had encircled the Canadian Forces table and were chanting in raised voices," Minaker says.
"There is a policy that allows security to ask for IDs. The policy only comes into play when the security, through their standard operating procedures, perceive that there is a need for them to ask for an identification. Typically, if there is someone who is creating a disturbance on campus," he says.
The university is planning to work together with the UWSA to figure out what happened.
"We take very seriously this incident and we're conducting a full review," Minaker says. "Our goal is to get a handle on what exactly happened, but we are really concerned about how we can in the future provide a safe environment."
Security camera footage recorded the event, but unfortunately can't tell the whole story, he says.
"The security tape is not that good. It doesn't really show all angles of the incident," Minaker says. "If students want to come forward and let us know what happened from their perspective and also if anyone has a video that can help us to understand what happened, then that would be helpful."
Minaker stated that anyone with video footage or more information should contact the UWSA.

I'm beside myself with joy. I am going to be flown into Chicago's South Side so I can go to Barack's birthday party and sing Happy Birthday. I was going to take my dog Fido as my guest but he said he was afraid he'd end up on the menu.
All I have to do to attend is make a $3 donation and I'm in the running. They saved a seat for me so I'm sure I will get to go.
I wonder if they'll send Air Force one for me like they did for Obama donor, Penny Pritzker. She's the donor who was helped bring about the subprime crisis if you'll remember.
In case you're real dopey, there are TWO links to take you to the Obama donation site.
Friend —
I'm no good at singing "Happy Birthday."
I hope you're better, because the President's inviting two grassroots donors and their guests to celebrate his birthday with him at his home in Chicago on August 12th.
Just pitch in $3 or whatever you can to support this campaign, and you'll be automatically entered for the chance to be there.
It's going to be a great party.
We've got a nice spot picked out for the event at the President's family home in their beautiful South Side neighborhood.
What we're missing is a few lucky supporters like you to come and wish the President well as we celebrate him for the night.
Sounds fun, right? The contest ends tomorrow, so enter today:

Extending Models
Below is a list of items to consider when adding a new field to a model:
1. Generate and run database migration
Django migrations are used to express changes to the database schema. In most cases, Django can generate these automatically, however very complex changes may require manual intervention. Always remember to specify a short but descriptive name when generating a new migration.
./manage.py makemigrations <app> -n <name>
./manage.py migrate
Where possible, try to merge related changes into a single migration. For example, if three new fields are being added to different models within an app, these can be expressed in the same migration. You can merge a new migration with an existing one by combining their
operations lists.
Migrations can only be merged within a release. Once a new release has been published, its migrations cannot be altered.
2. Add validation logic to
If the new field introduces additional validation requirements (beyond what's included with the field itself), implement them in the model's
clean() method. Remember to call the model's original method using
super() before or agter your custom validation as appropriate:
class Foo(models.Model):
def clean(self):
super(DeviceCSVForm, self).clean()
# Custom validation goes here
if self.bar is None:
raise ValidationError()
3. Add CSV helpers
Add the name of the new field to
csv_headers and included a CSV-friendly representation of its data in the model's
to_csv() method. These will be used when exporting objects in CSV format.
4. Update relevant querysets
If you're adding a relational field (e.g.
ForeignKey) and intend to include the data when retreiving a list of objects, be sure to include the field using
prefetch_related() as appropriate. This will optimize the view and avoid excessive database lookups.
5. Update API serializer
Extend the model's API serializer in
<app>.api.serializers to include the new field. In most cases, it will not be necessary to also extend the nested serializer, which produces a minimal represenation of the model.
6. Add field to forms
Extend any forms to include the new field as appropriate. Common forms include:
- Credit/edit - Manipulating a single object
- Bulk edit - Performing a change on mnay objects at once
- CSV import - The form used when bulk importing objects in CSV format
- Filter - Displays the options available for filtering a list of objects (both UI and API)
7. Extend object filter set
If the new field should be filterable, add it to the
FilterSet for the model. If the field should be searchable, remember to reference it in the FilterSet's
search() method.
8. Add column to object table
If the new field will be included in the object list view, add a column to the model's table. For simple fields, adding the field name to
Meta.fields will be sufficient. More complex fields may require explicitly declaring a new column.
9. Update the UI templates
Edit the object's view template to display the new field. There may also be a custom add/edit form template that needs to be updated.
10. Create/extend test cases
Create or extend the relevant test cases to verify that the new field and any accompanying validation logic perform as expected. This is especially important for relational fields. NetBox incorporates various test suites, including:
- API serializer/view tests
- Filter tests
- Form tests
- Model tests
- View tests
Be diligent to ensure all of the relevant test suites are adapted or extended as necessary to test any new functionality.

A labour of love
Lost Henzell film restored and premièred at former home
The spirit of veteran Jamaican film-maker Perry Henzell was alive at his former home last Wednesday, as family, friends and associates gathered for the local première of his second film No Place Like Home which was shot in 1974.
The film stars, American Susan O'Meara, perennial local film star Carl Bradshaw, Countryman, with cameo by the likes of Jamaican model, singer and actress Grace Jones. It had been shelved and later lost, but in a twist of fate 40 reels of footage were discovered, but had begun to deteriorate.
In 2004 the process began to restore the film, but by 2006 Henzell died after battling cancer. Among his dying wishes was that the film be restored and brought to the screen.
" No Place Like Home was started long ago, very soon after The Harder They Come. Perry didn't think The Harder They Come was experimental enough so he had to push the envelope even further; so he decided No Place Like Home was to be even more authentic. It was a very hard road to travel — the film had many shoots; [and] it relied on the kindness of family and friends to get it as far as it did. This was a true labour of love, right down to the restoration required for us to show it to you. That was undertaken by an amazing man called David Garonzik. David worked tirelessly for many years to restore this film, and he begged and borrowed from all his friends in Los Angeles," explained Henzell's daughter Justine.
Also present at last week's screening was producer Arthur Gorson, who was also instrumental in bringing the film back to life.
"The restoration process was twofold. There was the release of the project which was shown at the Toronto Film Festival before Perry passed. It was a very rough cut that could not be released because there was not rights to the music. Perry passed the day before it was shown at the Flashpoint Film Festival in Negril, and so he never got to see it in Jamaica. We continued on and I started working closely with David Goronzik, and he managed to get people to do amazing things, and slowly the restoration came about. At some point we were going to do a crowd-funding to raise money to obtain the rights. I suggested that we do a little clip. We started to put stuff together and the little clip grew. We then found out-takes of Perry directing and it became a documentary called a A Filmmaker's Odyssey. For some of the owners of the rights, such as Neil Diamond's wife and Carly Simon, we showed them the film and it broke their heart. They gave us the rights for [US]$1,000 rather than [US$}$10,000," he shared.
No Place Like Home follows a New York film crew who are in Jamaica to shoot a commercial for a brand of shampoo. A series of unforeseen incidents result in the producer going on a road trip across Jamaica and getting a better understanding of the island, its people, and herself in the process. The film is a true time capsule which offers viewers a peek back at 1970s Jamaica and the socio-economic and political views of the time. Incredible shots of the town of Lucea in Hanover, an unspoilt Negril, Ocho Rios, and a bustling Hellshire are strung throughout.
The film is driven by an impressive soundtrack which includes music by Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals, The Three Degrees, and Marcia Griffiths.
