It is essential for genealogists tracing their ancestry to use primary or original sources and to footnote the sources they use. Researchers must show exactly from where every statistical fact on a family group sheet came from. This is necessary if you wish to produce an accurate genealogy of use to future generations. Number each fact in parenthesis and, at the foot or back of the page, carefully described the source of that fact with its corresponding number.
If a vital fact or other bit of information was found in an archive or in another type of institution, the family historian must note the name of the institution, the type of record, the reference number, page number, and if on microfilm, the reel number. If the facts were derived from a letter, a personal interview, a family Bible, a diary, or from some other family records, researchers should describe the material and take note of the name and address of the person owning the records or giving the interview and write down the date.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Aug. 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Obesity is a well-established major risk factor for developing diabetes, with almost 90% of people living with type 2 diabetes having obesity or overweight. Even with the close tie between obesity and type 2 diabetes, new research shows that healthcare clinicians prescribe 15 times more antidiabetes medications than those for obesity. Although six antiobesity medications are now approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating obesity when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, this research points out that only 2% of the eligible 46% of the U.S. adult population is receiving these medications. The research is published in the September issue of Obesity, the scientific journal of The Obesity Society.
"Given the close tie between obesity and type 2 diabetes, treating obesity should be an obvious first step for healthcare providers to prevent and treat diabetes," says Catherine E. Thomas, MS, the lead researcher from Weill Medical College of Cornell University. "By treating obesity, we may be able to decrease the number of patients with type 2 diabetes, among other related diseases and the medications used to treat them."
"A greater urgency in the treatment of obesity – on the part of clinicians and patients – is essential," continued Thomas. "We're talking about prolonged and better quality of life for patients."
"By comparing the adoption rate of new antiobesity medications to the considerably faster rate for new diabetes medications, this new research provides an important snapshot of the problem," says Ted Kyle, RPh, MBA, founder of ConscienHealth in a commentary accompanying the research.
"Obesity is a serious disease that is not getting serious treatment," says Charles Billington, MD, FTOS, past president and spokesperson for The Obesity Society and Director of Medical Weight Management at the University of Minnesota. "We are missing the opportunity among patients with serious obesity-related illness to provide the full range of proven, safe and effective therapies. It's time to start treating people with obesity as we would others with chronic diseases – with compassion and access to evidence-based care in a clinical setting."
*Disclosure: The authors of this research were given access to the prescription databases through a partnership with Vivus, Inc.

If you are recently divorced, you may be struggling to adapt to your new life. The challenges are even greater if you and your former spouse have children together. As an adult, you are likely able to recognize many of the emotions you are dealing with and to manage them to a certain extent. While it may not be easy, you are still able to go about your normal daily activities with minimal interference. For a child, however, the situation can be more difficult as his or her entire world may now be different. Unfortunately, many children—especially younger children—lack the skills and ability to effectively manage their emotions. In some cases, this can lead to behavioral issues at home and at school. Therefore, it is extremely important for divorced parents to maintain open lines of communication with their children’s teachers, helping to identify and address problems as they arise.
Studies have long suggested that children divorce experience more behavioral and conduct problems in school than children from two-parent households. Such behavior is often aggressive, impulsive, and, at times, anti-social. These types of problems, however, may not always be obvious to a parent at home, especially one who is trying to learn how to manage the household alone. Teachers spend as much as six to eight hours per day with their students, granting them a great deal of insight into the children’s lives and behavior. If something starts to change with your child, chances are good that his or her teachers will be the first to notice it.
If your child’s behavior has not reached a level where it is causing disciplinary issues, the teacher may be hesitant to initiate contact with you about it. It is important for you to take the first step early in the school year—or soon after the divorce—to let the teacher know about your situation. The teacher does not really need all of the details, but he or she should at least be aware that your child may be experiencing some divorce-related anxiety, anger, or a host of other emotions.
You should be sure to maintain contact throughout the school year to make sure you are getting the most up-to-date information. Again, in a large class, the teacher may notice that your child has become very sullen and quiet, but other, more disruptive students demand immediate attention. By remaining an active in communicating with the teacher, you can more quickly address any issues that your child may be experiencing.
When you are considering a divorce, you need all of the support and guidance you can get. Contact an experienced Kane County divorce attorney today and let us help you. Call 630-232-9700 for a confidential consultation at The Law Offices of Douglas B. Warlick & Associates.

When I met my client she was only having 1 bowel movement per week and a sense of fullness in her bladder at all times. She had suffered from uterine and pelvic cancer at a young age leaving her scarred and without her reproductive organs. The surgeon had been careless also leaving her with a damaged renal line. The scarring on her abdomen was significant as was the inflammation. Nothing had provided much relief and she wanted to try the Maya Abdominal and supportive clinical visceral work.
In our first session I was struck by her unusually calm and quiet presence. As we began to talk and work I realized the calm was actually a deep state of buried sadness and a disconnect from her creative feminine energy. Naturally she would have deep grief over losing the ability to birth children only to suffer from constipation and depression. With each layer my hands addressed in her belly I began to realize that although the physical tissue of her reproductive organs were gone the energy was not. I continued to break down the scar tissue and mobilize the energy through her entire abdomen. I also, recommended colon hydrotherapy in the same day as our sessions and some at home care to increase softness and promote more bowel motility.
In our second session she had already felt relief in her daily bowel movements but there was still that clinging sadness. Now that our rapport had been established I decided to address her grief. I guided her through the significance of tapping into her pelvic (womb) energy to gain a sense of herself and start to alleviate her sadness. I explained that although she had a hysterectomy her second chakra was still there to connect her to the feminine rhythms of nature and intuition. There was an immediate shift in her energy. I gave her some ways she could begin to connect to a “feminine cycle” using the guidance of the moon, some nourishing foods at different times and some visualizations- she embraced it immediately.
We continued with breaking down scar tissue and decongesting the pelvic bowl and belly in our final 2 sessions. Her eyes were bright, she embodied herself and her spirit had strength again. Her bowel movements had increased to at least 3-4/week and she no longer had any constant bladder fullness- in just 4 sessions. She is armed with tools and hope and I will now only see her as needed for a little “tune up”.
Blessed and humbled always by this work.
What a wonderful post. Thank you to you and your client for sharing.

With its laid back approach to life, its glorious beaches and its wealth of history, Antigua is the ideal destination. With literally hundreds of stunning beaches and beautiful coral reef, Antigua provides many opportunities for snorkelling and scuba diving. It's not all about lazing about the beach in the sun, there are various shopping opportunities and many other things to see and do so whether lounging about on a beach is your thing or taking in the local sights, Antigua is the place to be.
A year round destination, Antigua is the sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean Islands with an average annual rainfall of only 45 inches. The drier months are November to April with temperatures ranging from the mid-seventies and in the mid-eighties during the rest of the year. Providing a cooling breeze the northeast trade-winds are generally constant throughout the year, easing only in September.
Hurricane season runs from July to mid-November with September and October generally the most active months for hurricanes or tropical storms. While the likelihood of a direct hit is small, if travelling during hurricane season we recommend you check out your travel insurance cover before you leave, and shop around if necessary to make sure you have the necessary cover.
The island of Antigua is just 14 miles long by 11 miles wide so, whilst you might not have time to laze on each of the 365 beaches of gorgeous pink and white sands; all the main attractions of the island are accessible, regardless of where you choose to stay.
The most famous visitor attraction of Antigua is Nelsons Dockyard National Park, which covers around 15 square miles and enjoys impressive views over the English Harbour and beyond. Here you can learn the fascinating history of this restored Georgian dockyard, visit Clarence House, explore ruined fortifications, follow the nature trail to Shirley Heights or relax on the beaches. You can learn more of Antigua's history and culture at the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, the Batty's Hope Sugar Plantation and the underground caves at Indian Town.
Antigua hosts several annual sailing and yachting events, including the world class Antigua Sailing Week at the end of April and the prestigious Charter Yacht Show at the beginning of December. The colourful parades and the sounds of steel drums and calypso bands are the highlight of the Antigua Carnival which runs for around 10 days, starting at the end of July.
The calm, clear waters and coral reefs surrounding Antigua are ideal for snorkelling and diving, particularly at Cades Reef and the south coast where there is an abundance of colourful marine life. There are also over 100 ship-wrecks and one of the most popular, being suitable for diving or snorkelling, is the Andes which rests in shallow waters in the middle of Deep Bay. As well as the endless beaches and secluded coves, there are several harbours around the island water activities including deep sea fishing, sailing, kayaking and windsurfing are readily available.
Ideas for day trips and tours include taking the ferry or a boat trip to the sister island of Barbuda, an Eco tour hiking and boating around protected mangroves, tranquil lagoons and nearby uninhabited islands or; how about an exhilarating adventure in the rainforest, using zip lines, suspension bridges and tree houses to traverse the tropical trees and gorges.
Antigua's national dish is known as Fungie and Pepper pot. You can find these in any of the restaurants dotted around, but will mainly be found in the restaurants in the All Inclusive hotels on the island. Whilst on holiday, brave it and have a try of the local dishes including ducana (sweet potato dumpling), salt fish and lobster. Breakfast usually comprises of salt fish, eggplant and lettuce, this is more of a dressed down affair. Lunch can be food like salad, macaroni, rice, pasta and potatoes and dinner is along the lines of stewed lamb, baked chicken, rice and salads. Dinner attire needs to be formal in the hotel restaurants, but a bit more laid back in the local restaurants.
You can enjoy the free standing roadside food stall where you can try the local cuisine or in the less touristy areas away from the beaches further inland. If its Italian, Continental, American or West Indian cuisine, Antigua caters for all tastes. Beware most hotels charge a 10% service charge, feel free to add to it if you want to.
Flight Time - flights from London to Antigua takes around 8 and a half hours.
Night Life -Restaurants, Bars and Cafes - The night life is mixed so would suit anyone.
Best Time to Visit- All year round, September (and to a lesser extent August and October) is peak season for hurricanes.
Here's a list of our top accommodations in Antigua, ranked by our customer ratings and reviews.

The world’s largest wireless carrier still doesn’t offer the iPhone, but several signs suggest that’s about to change in the imminent future. The right mobile licenses are already in place for the carrier’s 4G network, and China Mobile is already teasing that it will “introduce a new brand” on December 18. Now, a new report from Fortune reveals that a subsidiary site registered by the carrier was recently accepting pre-orders for the iPhone.
Fortune recently noticed that a site owned by China Mobile began accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c on Monday, and the news outlet was even able to grab a screen shot (above) of the order page. Unfortunately, it has since been pulled and replaced with an update that says the reservation page will be “reopened [at a] later appointment.” Our guess is that either China Mobile will make a major announcement in the coming days, or we’ll need to wait until December 18 for the official reveal.
Unfortunately, we don’t have an idea of what the pricing looks like in China. Several reports have suggested that the iPhone is too expensive for the general phone consumer there, which means Apple still may not make as big of a headway as originally thought if it can’t compete with lower-priced Android smartphones from local brands.
Once Apple establishes a new front on China Mobile, however, we may see adoption levels rise in China, especially as newer iPhones are introduced and the prices on the current models drop in the coming years.

Whenever a new item is added to ServiceNow, an incident should be created in ServiceNow.
Is this achievable through Flow ?
Do you want to create an incident record in ServiceNow when a new item is added in SharePoint?
I would recommend the sharepoint list for sure. its much easier to manipulate the list entry data.
I created a flow as it is and then when I submit, I see an error related to authentication.
May be I have a restricted access to perform this action and I have submiited a case to my manager requesting for access.
I'm just curious about knowing If the flow I created can perform below actions.
1. My SharePoint list will have fields like Priority, Short Description, Description, Call Back Number, etc.
2. I would want my flow to capture all of these in a structured manner to the ticket as it is.
3. Flow should also capture data of 'Created by' as caller and caller location. ticket number in ServiceNow will be autogenerated post submission.
2. Fetching an email from inbox and creating a record in ServiceNow.
Have you had a chance to apply @JonL-MSFT's suggestion to use SharePoint to adapt your Flow?
If yes and you found that solution satisfactory, please go ahead and mark this solutions as "Solved".
Thanks for your valuable suggestions and I apologize for the delay in response.
I'm now trying to modify it as per the business needs.
Apologize for the delay in response.
Yes, the suggestion from @JonL-MSFT made it clearer about considering SharePoint for the purpose.
The flow provided by @v-xida-msft worked well after fixing the authentication issue.
Hence, I have marked both the answers as solutions.

Event services company Joe Manby Limited has expanded its ‘plug and play’ electrical system with the introduction of a discreet new EcoWire consumer unit.
Designed to be less obtrusive than a traditional consumer unit, the new unit has been developed in house by Joe Manby Limited’s electrical team, led by director Charles Paines who worked closely with the market leader in pluggable electrical installation technology, Wieland Electric.
Whereas previously the mains and sub circuits were plugged into the top of the unit, the new unit has been designed so that the plugs are slotted into recessed mains inlets and outlets at the side, keeping the top clutter-free and creating a cleaner line for better on-stand aesthetics. Trunking clipped onto the top of the shell scheme helps to keep the cable runs neat and tidy.
This means that the company can distribute the mains on a block of stands more efficiently using Wieland’s new RST 32a connectors and install the sub-circuits neatly as they will now plug into the side of the consumer unit.
Says Mark Redfern, MD of Wieland Electric “We were delighted to work alongside Joe Manby Limited on the EcoWire system and initially provided a number of our RST32i3 and GST18i3’s in various codings to allow them to produce mock up systems in line with their strict working ethos. We also supplied our assembled RST extender leads in a variety of lengths that were pre-assembled and tested in Wieland’s factory, allowing total flexibility and easy connection once delivered to site thus reducing installation time and minimising waste”.
The EcoWire system was originally introduced by Joe Manby Limited to help eliminate waste and improve the efficiency of its electrical installation service.
The system allowed the company to replace time-consuming traditional hardwiring, which industry regulations dictated could not be reused after a show, with a simpler and swifter system that has reduced raw material wastage and can be reused on other events.
It is also highly flexible and facilitates the movement of fittings such as spotlights and sockets with the minimum of disruption.

Core Recovery has partnered with InSource Diagnostics to provide the gentle Vitamin D test.
Think about vitamin D when you’re catching up on summer rays. It’s sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. It can affect as many as 2,000 genes in your body. Your body produces vitamin D naturally when it’s directly exposed to sunlight. Besides getting vitamin D through sunlight, you can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood. Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and facilitating normal immune system function. Getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases. If your body doesn’t get enough vitamin D, you’re at risk of developing bone abnormalities such as soft bones (osteomalacia) or fragile bones (osteoporosis).
Research has shown that vitamin D might play an important role in regulating mood and warding off depression. In one study, scientists found that people with depression who received vitamin D supplements noticed an improvement in their symptoms.
In another study of people with fibromyalgia, researchers found vitamin D deficiency was more common in those who were also experiencing anxiety and depression.
Consider adding vitamin D supplements to your diet if you’re trying to lose weight or prevent heart disease.
In one study, people who took a daily vitamin D supplement didn’t lose a significant amount of weight, but were able to improve their heart disease risk markers.
In another study, people taking a daily calcium and vitamin D supplement were able to lose more weight than subjects taking a placebo supplement. The scientists said the extra calcium and vitamin D had an appetite-suppressing effect.
It can be hard to get enough vitamin D each day through sun exposure and food alone, so taking vitamin D supplements can help.
These factors contribute to vitamin D deficiency in an increasing number of people. That’s why it’s important to get some of your vitamin D from sources besides sunlight.
Doctors can diagnose a vitamin D deficiency by performing a simple blood test. If you have a deficiency, your doctor may order X-rays to check the strength of your bones.
If you’re diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency, your doctor will likely recommend you take daily vitamin D supplements. If you have a severe deficiency, they may instead recommend high-dose vitamin D tablets or liquids. You should also make sure to get vitamin D through sunlight and the foods you eat.
There has been some controversy over the amount of vitamin D needed for healthy functioning. Recent research indicates that you need more vitamin D than was once thought. Normal blood serum levels range from 50 to 100 micrograms per deciliter. Depending on your blood level, you may need more vitamin D.
The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences reports new recommendations based on international units (IUs) per day. IUs are a standard type of measurement for drugs and vitamins. IUs help experts determine recommended dose, toxicity, and deficiency levels for each person.

I am 35 days post op from a Paraesophgeal Hernia repair and Nissen. Recovery has been ok up until this point, but just this last week i have experienced nonstop nausea. Also, as i am trying to increase my exercise level, and am having what i can only describe as stomach discomfort. I am thinking this is the normal healing process, but any suggestions on how to deal with the nausea... i have no appetite because of it. your suggestions are most appreciated.
I can't really answer to the nausea, as I have had only a few bouts after attempting chocolate and coffee. The exercising I can relate to. When attempting jumping jacks or other things that really bounce the abdominal area, it feels like repeated punches in the stomach. I am 3 months post-op. It just takes quite a while to completely heal. Listen to what your body is telling you, even if it says it really, really wants chocolate or caffeine.
I had a repair for GPEH, and nausea is not a normal reaction. It can be caused though, by pain meds or food intolerances.
My GI has me take Nexium when I am having a bunch of nausea problems - because mine has reherniated partly into my chest. But mostly I just have to not eat anything to which I am sensitive. That includes drinks and meds.
If you keep a good food journal with everything you eat or drink and meds, plus the times and any reactions you can eliminate most foods and find out if you have any food triggers. It can take a couple of months, but it's worth the try. My allergist got me doing this and I've kept it up for years.
As far as exercise, you are only a little way out of major surgery and shouldn't push it yet! It takes at least 3 months to recover from something as rough as you had. Walking is fine, but no weight lifting, twisting, anything hard. Few others on the forum have had as much done as you. You need much longer to recover than someone who has had only a simple wrap.
thank you for your replies. i sometimes have a hard time remembering that although it was a lap surgery, it is still considered a major event. the food journal is an excellent suggestion.... will start one. have a good week.

Whether you are a frequent flier or a casual vacationer, choosing the right transportation to and from the airport can make your trip go a bit more smoothly. There are several options available to you that get you to the airport without having to drive yourself. Use this guide to weigh the benefits of each option to see which one is right for you.
Airport shuttle buses and vans are great options for families, as they offer plenty of room for everyone in your group plus your luggage. If you are traveling with small children, an airport van may provide more room for car seats and booster seats than a traditional airport taxi. You'll also get the added benefit of a flat rate, which makes it easier to budget for your trip. When you schedule your pickup time, be sure to ask if you can pay with a credit card over the phone. This means that you'll only need to have a tip ready for the driver on the day of your flight.
Many taxi cab companies offer the ability to call ahead to arrange your pickup for the airport, and some taxi cab companies let you book your trip online or through a mobile app on your smartphone. Taxi cabs are a great option if you are heading out on an international flight that leaves in the middle of the night or early in the morning, as you may find that some shuttle services don't run 24 hours per day like taxi cab companies do. Taxis also offer a more private way to travel than shuttle buses, which might pick up several passengers in one trip.
Airport limo services let you travel to the airport in style. If you are heading out on a romantic vacation or honeymoon, a limo offers a great way to kick off your trip. You can choose a stretch limousine that lets you feel like a movie star, or you can opt for a more traditional luxury sedan. Talk to your local limo service about any special perks or features that might come with your trip to the airport, such as complimentary champagne, that can make this experience extra special.
Instead of driving yourself to the airport or taking public transportation, consider the many benefits of these different airport transportation services to see which one fits your needs. You'll get a reliable way to travel to the airport that lets you relax and prepare for your trip. For more information, consider contacting companies like Broadway Cab.

Aquarius will make Pisces’ emotions more rational, but will be careful not to hurt their feelings. The fish will help the water bearer to use their emotions instead of just thinking. They will work well together as a team.
Pisces Aquarius compatibility might find it hard to deal with the details of everyday life. Neither star sign is very rational. At the same time, they will make a home together that will have a lot of love, inspiration, and kindness. They will be more compatible because they will be able to agree on the important parts of their relationship. They will not be likely to argue over things like parenting, family money, or priorities in a Pisces Aquarius marriage. But the reason for discontent will be something else.
If they do have a disagreement they are able to discuss it. However, the Pisces man or Pisces woman might become tired of talking about it and want to escape into their fantasy world. The Aquarian might be able to bring the fish back into the discussion and they will find a solution to their disagreement. The fish will need persistence and the water bearer can give it to them but this will take quite some effort.
In a Pisces Aquarius relationship, both will be better at starting new projects rather than completing them. The Aquarius man or Aquarius woman might become bored with the relationship. Pisces might then become bored and will want to move on.
Pisces is a Water sign. Aquarius is an Air sign. Their relationship will be motivated by feeling from the fish and thought from the water bearer. They will always have a lot of things happening in their relationship. The Pisces Aquarius in love will be very flexible and progressive.
When the relationship is good, it will be very good. At the same time, when the relationship is bad, Pisces and Aquarius soul mates will have no communication. Pisces will want to be where Aquarius gets their action and intellect from. They are timid but they can teach the water bearer to be more tolerant in a social way and to be more warm.
The fish and water bearer could definitely disagree but their differences of opinion will not last long. They might argue because the Piscean will need emotional encouragement and affection. Aquarius will prefer ideas other than romance. When the ideas don’t match then a Pisces Aquarius breakup is bound to be on the cards.
The Pisces and Aquarius friendship can be very good. They will definitely be great in a romantic relationship. They will likely not have a lot of arguments. The Aquarian might be too intelligent and distant for the fish. The Pisces personality might too easily sacrifice and be gullible for the water bearer. They could have different reactions to a situation which might make them feel far apart.
The Aquarius star sign will be likely to quickly dismiss the people who do not agree with them. At the same time, the fish will be likely to take on other people’s trouble too quickly. They could not have a lot of disagreements with each other, but when they do they will forgive and forget easily.
Pisces men and Pisces women are gentle and loving and will give the relationship most of their romance. Aquarius will have to learn to be somewhat romantic. They are very emotionally distant. However, they enjoy the emotions of the fish. The Pisces Aquarius love compatibility works out because they will both understand each other. They are one of the most compatible water and air relationships in the zodiac.

Moving a little further into left field, say hello to American songwriters Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli, a.k.a. The Gutter Twins. These guys have long and successful histories of involvement in the post-punk and grunge scenes, Lanegan with Screaming Trees, Dulli with the Afghan Whigs. Since their groups split up in the early 2000s, both Lanegan and Dulli have pursued idiosyncratic paths. Alighting on a polished and evocative brand of alt.rock, Lanegan has collaborated with former Belle & Sebastian waif Isobel Campbell and recorded a number of acclaimed albums under his own name. Dulli has recorded both under his own name and under the rubric of the Twilight Singers. Given their parallel paths, it was inevitable that Lanegan and Dulli would one day work together, and sure enough, the Gutter Twins emerged with an album, Saturnalia, in early 2008. Likened by Dulli to “the satanic Everly Brothers,” the Twins are a raw and confessional delight.
Finally, British art-punk legends Wire descend into the pleasantly distressed surroundings of the Fluc Wanne for an evening of uncompromising sonic attack. Wire have been an on-off concern ever since forming at the height of punk in 1976. Despite displaying many of the standard punk trademarks, such as short songs and a healthily anti-establishment attitude, their music has retained a sense of artistry that has seen them feted on the arthouse and festival circuit. Now without founder member Bruce Gilbert, Wire continue to make a strong impression with their enigmatic lyrical content and effects-heavy guitar-based sound.

New Delhi: Indian banks aren’t vulnerable to the global credit crisis that’s led to the collapse of two US investment banks, finance minister P. Chidambaram told reporters in New Delhi on Thursday.
Indian lenders are well regulated and there’s no cause for any alarm, Chidambaram said.
The Reserve Bank of India took steps to increase funds available to banks earlier this week as there may be some impact on credit because of the global squeeze, the minister said.
India will take more steps to make credit available if needed, Chidambaram said.
The US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan on Thursday joined with their counterparts around the world to pump dollars into the financial system on concern more banks will follow Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. into bankruptcy.
American International Group Inc. (AIG), which had to be rescued by the US government this week, hasn’t disrupted operations at its units in India, Chidambaram said. The company’s two ventures with the Tata group have assured India’s insurance regulator they have enough funds to meet obligations, he added.
State Bank of India, the nation’s largest, closed 2.14% up on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), rebounding from a 6.9% decline earlier in the day.
The lender led a revival in BSE’s 14-company Bankex Index, which had shed 6.2% this week through Wednesday as the global financial crisis deepened following Lehman’s bankruptcy petition.
ICICI Bank Ltd, the country’s second largest, gained 2.78%. The stock had dropped 14% this week, through Wednesday, after the bank said it may have to setaside an additional $28 million (Rs131 crore) to cover losses on investments in Lehman securities in the UK.
The bank, which had an exposure to foreign markets equal to about 4% of its total balance sheet, on Thursday, said it had the capability to handle market movements.
ICICI Bank can still post healthy profits and maintain healthy capital adequacy, joint managing director Chanda Kochhar said on news channel NDTV Profit. “The size of the exposure is very, very small related to the size of our balance sheet," she said, adding there were no medium or long-term worries about solvency. She said the bank’s overseas units had exposure to foreign markets and its Indian operations were insulated.
Brokerage Edelweiss Capital Ltd said it expected ICICI to post about $200 million in losses on bonds, including debt issued by Lehman.
Amid the upheaval on Wall Street, governors and officials of twenty central banks will meet in Thailand this weekend for a regular meeting. “The meeting will go ahead but we are not sure who will be attending. We will know tomorrow (Friday)," a Bank of Thailand official said.
The South-east Asia, New Zealand and Australia (Seanza) governors’ symposium from 19 September in Bangkok was scheduled before the turmoil in the US banking system triggered panic selling on world stock markets.
The group includes the central banks of Japan, China, Australia, India and several South Asian and South-East Asian countries.
Bank of Japan deputy governor Kiyohiko Nishimura, who will attend the Bangkok meeting, said on Thursday that tensions in global financial markets had increased but he did not expect the turmoil to seriously affect Japan’s financial system.
“Even considering the effect of the failure of major (US) investment banks, I don’t expect it to seriously affect the stability of Japan’s overall financial system," Nishimura said in Tokyo.

Air humidifiers have become popular today, especially cool mist humidifiers. But there is a rather less popular type of this product which is the warm mist humidifier. Do they work the same as the cool mist? What benefits do warm mist humidifiers offer? Essentially, they both have one purpose; which is to add moisture or humidity to the air.
This is supposed to help soothe health problems and irritation caused by dry air, such as nasal congestion, dry skin, and eyes, and sometimes even prevent a cough and cold. The main difference is that warm mist humidifiers preheat the water before the mist is produced, creating a warm soothing vapor. This is great during the cold seasons or winter months.
To have a better idea about humidifiers in general, how they work and the different types and models, you can check our Best Humidifiers Buying Guide. In this article, we will focus on the important features of warm mist humidifiers and the benefits they offer, compare products to help you choose best warm mist humidifier for your home.
Before we discuss the different features that make a good warm mist humidifier, here is a simple and basic overview of how it works.
Unlike the cold mist units which use micro vibrations to produce the mist, warm mist humidifiers preheat the water to produce the mist. In other words, the water is boiled. This is an added advantage because boiling kills germs and other bacteria that might be in the water. This means that the mist will always be fresh and clean.
This mist evaporates into the room which increases the humidity level. The quicker it evaporates, the more effective the humidification is.
The main advantage of a warm mist humidifier is that it adds moisture to the air and also to your skin with an added comfort because it warms the room a little bit during the cold seasons. Take note that a warm mist humidifier is not enough to keep you warm during the winter. You would still need to turn your heating system on.
If you are not sure whether you need a warm or cool mist humidifier, you can read our Best Cool Mist Humidifiers article to compare features.
Now that you have a better idea about how warm mist humidifiers work as compared to a cool mist, here are some important factors to consider when choosing a warm mist humidifier for your home.
Even though it boils the water to produce the mist, some impurities and elements in the water are very difficult to purify, especially if you have hard water at home. So make sure to find out what type of water you have from your tap. If you have soft water, there won’t be much problem. To be sure, you can use distilled water instead or a demineralization cartridge.
In relation to hard water, removing the mineral contents from the water is really important when using a humidifier. If you don’t want to spend on distilled water regularly and only have hard water available in your location, it is best to choose a model that comes with or offers a demineralization cartridge. This purifies the mineral contents from the hard water.
There are other factors to consider, of course, depending on your location, physical conditions and other needs. That is why it is of special importance to keep versatility in mind. It is always nice to have some features that you might also use in the future. If you anticipate needing a cool mist humidifier, perhaps it would be more practical to invest in a dual function model, like the Air-O-Swiss AOS 7147 Ultrasonic Humidifier – Warm and Cool Mist, which works both as a warm and cool mist humidifier.
Some warm mist humidifiers offer a little extra to give added comfort to the air you breathe.
Some warm mist humidifiers also allow you to put essential oils that can help create a more relaxing mist.
Vicks humidifiers often have a special input for liquids like Vaposteam and Kaz inhalants which help in a cough and cold. It creates a minty warm vapor that prevents the sickness for. I getting worse, especially when used during the first signs of a cold. One of these products is the Honeywell Germ Free HCM-350.
If you have other medical or physical conditions that require attention, please note that it is not advisable to rely solely on a humidifier. Please consult a healthcare professional or medical doctor to make an informed decision in your use of warm mist humidifier products.

Unexpected delays put road construction in conflict with canal shipping, but North America Traffic’s portable signals helped the project to move forward quickly.
Port Colborne, ON – When Jonathan Abraham saw the request for portable traffic signals at the Allanburg Bridge, he saw it as just a routine order for a road repair project. Bridge repairs are bread & butter work for North America Traffic Inc. (NAT), where Abraham is the firm’s Service & Compliance Coordinator.
But as Spring approached and the project ran into a delay, the signaling challenges became anything but routine. Then, Abraham and NAT were called upon to show how their custom design capabilities set the firm apart from other portable signal manufacturers.
Located in the Niagara region of southern Ontario, the Allanburg lift bridge spans 200 ft. across the Welland Canal, part of the St. Lawrence Seaway system. Maintenance to the road was planned while seasonal Seaway traffic was closed over the winter months. NAT, based in nearby Port Colborne, ON, was contracted to provide a traffic control solution to limit road traffic to a single lane. The order called for two sets of portable traffic signals to work in conjunction with the bridge’s existing traffic control system: one at each end of the bridge plus two for the intersection on its east end.
The construction work ran into delays and extended into the opening of the 2013 shipping season. The traffic control situation suddenly became much more complex. The lift bridge must be raised to allow ships to pass on the canal. Road traffic crossing the canal is normally controlled by traffic lights operated from the Seaway Authority’s remote station, a few miles from the bridge.
To manage traffic for both construction work on the bridge and Seaway traffic under it, NAT’s portable signals were now required to replicate the Seaway’s remote-operated controls. Normally, the signals are coordinated so when the bridge is about to be raised, the traffic signals allow vehicles to clear the bridge without getting caught between the lights. The portable signals would have to integrate with the bridge controls, and also coordinate the single-lane flow of road traffic.
NAT developed the required controls to synchronize the portable traffic signals with the bridge control signals, including an override requested by MTO and a confirmation signal back to the Seaway control station. Because of NAT’s rapid turnaround on the new control system, the contractor was able to proceed with the bridge repairs with no further hold-ups.
The bridge repairs required two months more to complete, as work was interrupted repeatedly for canal traffic, but the portable signals operated flawlessly throughout the project. Powered by highly efficient solar cells and battery packs, NAT signals have a 30 day autonomy rating for periods of low light or minimal sun exposure. The signals are synchronized by radio transmissions, but had no difficulty with potential interference from boat communications and the steel structure of the bridge.
The railway pre-emption, or hold-for-bridge feature, is just one of many program modules provided on NAT portable signals. NAT has also provided custom control systems that respond to a wide range of sensors for detecting motion, proximity and radiation, among others. All systems are equipped with manual and remote control overrides.

Princeton privacy experts are warning that advertising and analytics firms can secretly extract site usernames from browsers using hidden login fields and tie non-authenticated users visiting a site with their profiles or emails on that domain. This type of abusive behavior is possible because of a design flaw in the login managers included with all browsers. Experts say that web trackers can embed hidden login forms on sites where the tracking scripts are loaded. Because of the way the login managers work, the browser will fill these fields with the user's login information, such as username and passwords.
The trick is an old one, known for more than a decade but until now it's only been used by hackers trying to collect login information during XSS (cross-site scripting) attacks. Princeton researchers say they recently found two web tracking services that utilize hidden login forms to collect login information. The two services are Adthink (audienceinsights.net) and OnAudience (behavioralengine.com), and Princeton researchers said they identified scripts from these two that collected login info on 1,110 sites found on the Alexa Top 1 Million sites list. A demo page has been created to show how the tracking works.

During the Cold War, the United States military misplaced at least eight nuclear weapons permanently. These are the stories of what the Department of Defense calls "broken arrows"—America's stray nukes, with a combined explosive force 2,200 times the Hiroshima bomb.
February 13, 1950. An American B-36 bomber en route from Alaska to Texas during a training exercise lost power in three engines and began losing altitude. To lighten the aircraft the crew jettisoned its cargo, a 30-kiloton Mark 4 (Fat Man) nuclear bomb, into the Pacific Ocean. The conventional explosives detonated on impact, producing a flash and a shockwave. The bomb's uranium components were lost and never recovered. According to the USAF, the plutonium core wasn't present.
March 10, 1956. A B-47 carrying two nuclear weapon cores from MacDill Air Force Base in Florida to an overseas airbase disappeared during a scheduled air-to-air refueling over the Mediterranean Sea. After becoming lost in a thick cloud bank at 14,500 feet, the plane was never heard from again and its wreckage, including the nuclear cores, was never found. Although the weapon type remains undisclosed, Mark 15 thermonuclear bombs (commonly carried by B-47s) would have had a combined yield of 3.4 megatons.
January 24, 1961. A B-52 carrying two 24-megaton nuclear bombs crashed while taking off from an airbase in Goldsboro, North Carolina. One of the weapons sank in swampy farmland, and its uranium core was never found despite intensive search efforts to a depth of 50 feet. To ensure no one else could recover the weapon, the USAF bought a permanent easement requiring government permission to dig on the land.
December 5, 1965. An A-4E Skyhawk attack aircraft carrying a 1-megaton thermonuclear weapon (hydrogen bomb) rolled off the deck of the U.S.S. Ticonderoga and fell into the Pacific Ocean. The plane and weapon sank in 16,000 feet of water and were never found. 15 years later the U.S. Navy finally admitted that the accident had taken place, claiming it happened 500 miles from land the in relative safety of the high seas. This turned out to be not true; it actually happened about 80 miles off Japan's Ryuku island chain, as the aircraft carrier was sailing to Yokosuka, Japan after a bombing mission over Vietnam.
These revelations caused a political uproar in Japan, which prohibits the United States from bringing nuclear weapons into its territory.
Spring, 1968. While returning to home base in Norfolk, Virginia, the U.S.S. Scorpion, a nuclear attack submarine, mysteriously sank about 400 miles to the southwest of the Azores islands. In addition to the tragic loss of all 99 crewmembers, the Scorpion was carrying two unspecified nuclear weapons—either anti-submarine missiles or torpedoes that were tipped with nuclear warheads. These could yield up to 250 kilotons explosive power (depending which kind of weapon was used).
The United States lost a warhead off of Tybee Island, Georgia, in 1958. According to the U.S. Air Force, it did not contain a plutonium core and therefore could not be considered a functional nuclear weapon, though that has been debated. Whether you believe the U.S. Air Force on this matter is a personal call.

Vangold Resources announced that a Core Drilling Contract was signed with Geological Drilling Company Limited a British Columbia based drilling company. Under the terms of the agreement Geological will provide a Longyear “50” or equivalent drill rig and all other necessary equipment to drill a minimum of approximately 2,000 meters. Holes are projected to be varying from approximately 800 to 1,000 meters in length. Mobilzation of the drill rig has begun with drilling planned to commence on May 26, 2008.
Vangold is the largest concession holder in Uganda, currently holding 20 exploration licenses through its wholly owned subsidiary, Rwenzori Copper & Nickel Limited. Vangold previously conducted exploration programs in Uganda from 1994 to 1998 and resumed active exploration efforts in 2007. Vangold’s Ugandan projects include the Kafunjo, Kilembe and West Nile properties.
The Kafunjo concession is near the Tanzanian border and covers a 7km strong coincident gravity and magnetic anomaly. It is located within an extension of the 350km long Kibaran orogenic belt in Central Africa that contains a series of mafic and ultramafic bodies, some of which host important ore deposits, notably Xstrata and Barrick’s joint Kabanga operation with current inferred resources of 36.3 Mt at 2.8% nickel. Kafunjo lies 100 km northwest of Kabanga. The anomaly at Kafunjo was drilled in 1994-1995 by Vangold to depths of 350m. The anomaly was not explained. This drill program is designed to drill to the targeted depth of the anomaly between 650 to 800 meters as defined by the geophysics and gravity surveys.
A great deal of knowledge of the occurrence of the targeted type of nickelliferrous mineralization has been acquired in Tanzania. The exploration license areas are located within Proterozoic-age sediments of the Karagwe-Ankolean which extends into North West Tanzania, and is strategically situated to the North of the world class Kabanga Nickel mine, and the Kapalagulu PGE deposit. Principal rock types include metamorphosed sandstones, quartzites, schists, mudstone, phyllites and shales. The region is tightly folded and the licenses areas lie within the area of influence of a very strong aeromagnetic anomaly, believed to be an important stratigraphic control on Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in the region, and known gabbro / norite bodies.
The Kafunjo anomaly has been identified by EM, IP and ground magnetic surveys, manifesting pk to pk amplitude of above 6000nT. This anomaly occurs in folded flysh-type sediments and granites of mid- Proterozoic Karagwe- Ankolean- Burundiam system (the Kibaran Fold Belt) which in Burundi and Tanzania, is characterized by a belt of mafic/ultramafic bodies hosting nickel laterites, nickel sulphide, and PGE mineralization. These meta-gabbros predate the intrusive granites and represent a phase of more widespread Proterozoic igneous activity of Bukoban age. Globally nickel, platinum and chromium tend to occur in similar geological environments that are generally layered mafic igneous intrusives such as gabbro and norite; and ultramafic rocks such as peridotites, dunites and serpentinites.

We shouldn’t be naive in church planting: we face a scheming devil who has strategies for the destruction of our ministries. Ephesians 6:11-12 tells us that our opponents in church planting are massive, intimidating and cunning. It is nothing less than the devil and authorities, rulers, cosmic powers and spiritual forces of evil. These opponents aren’t just huge and frightening, but they’re planning to get you in ways that you’d never expect or anticipate. Satan is not just against the church in some general, unspecific way. Rather, he is against you personally and against your church planting ministry in particular. You’re already in a desperate fight for your life with very clever, mighty spiritual powers that want to destroy you. That is the reason you feel under pressure and why you struggle as you do.
9. He gets us to obsess about past sins.
The point in all of this is that the devil uses clever, thought-out strategies to entangle us and destroy us. This is what we’re up against in church planting. The point here is that we’re meeting something that’s way out of our league. This is clearly a brutal and disturbing picture of what ministry is like. This battle is very personal, very close and intense.
What’s the solution? I remember talking to one man who lives in my local area. He had a long-term drug habit, together with a number of spells spent in prison. He had come out of prison and felt the problem of acute temptation, together with the familiar cycles of abuse, guilt and attempts at abstinence. In conversation, we talked about how his drug habit was like a 7ft 2in bouncer who wanted to beat him up. Even if the man managed to lay a few punches on the bouncer, the man would still go down every time. There was no point in trying harder or being quicker, because his opponent was just too big. In that situation I suggested that what the man needed was a big brother who was 8ft, and a black belt champion, to take down the bouncer! The point was that Jesus was the older brother he needed. The bouncer is scary until a bigger brother turns up who’s on your side.
The great news for church planters is that we’ve been united to our older brother, Jesus Christ. And this makes all the difference in the world! When we get a sense of the spiritual war, then this reality of being united with Christ is no longer just a nice idea or a bit of theology, but a powerful and wonderful necessity. This union with Christ liberates us, gives us confidence, encourages us and brings us joy. We’re facing vast and mighty spiritual powers in the heavenly realms – but, as we do that, remember that everything in the heavenly realms has been put under Christ (Ephesians 1:10) and that we’re now seated with Him (Ephesians 2:6). In and of ourselves we’re overwhelmed, weak and puny – but those opposing powers don’t intimidate Christ and He rules over them with supreme power.

Just watched the Antitrust movie from the 90s, which perhaps was on the verge before web 2.0 became a reality. Prior to web 2.0, Internet was slow and it would take ages just to download a media file like a mp3-file using Napster or the like. Video streaming was simply not arrived, the technology wasn’t there yet.
In the movie, Synapse is going to change all that and allow instant broadcast from any device to anyone. Sounds familiar? Yes, today we can do that, using Skype and social media. Anyone can broadcast to the world from any device.
This was done using satellites and today there are thousands of them orbiting earth, doing a variety of jobs for us; telecoms, broadcasting like synapse did, monitoring sea levels, oil spill, changes in weather, spying on nations and so on. European Space Agency (ESA) have launched quite a few of the satellites up there, some for earth observation purposes.
The ESA Sentinel-2 mission is a land monitoring constellation of two satellites that provide high resolution optical imagery. The mission provides a global coverage of the Earth’s land surface every 10 days with one satellite and 5 days with 2 satellites, making the data of great use in on-going studies. The satellites are equipped with the state-of-the-art MSI (Multispectral Imager) instrument, that offers high-resolution optical imagery.
I’ve used a freely available on-line tool called Sentinel Hub, which basically systematize all the data coming from these satellites and allow me to look at the imagery downloaded from them.

This is an RPM ESC Cage in Blue for the Castle Creations Sidewinder 4 ESC. Have you upgraded your stock ESC to Castle's awesome Sidewinder 4 but don't trust double-sided tape or zip ties to "securely" attach it to the chassis? RPM has you covered! Their lightweight Sidewinder 4 ESC Cage fits in the stock location on the Traxxas Slash 2wd, Slash 2wd LCG, Slash 4x4, Slash 4x4 LCG, Stampede 4x4 & Rally, while also working on other Traxxas 1/10th scale vehicles as well.
This cage allows the ESC to be run with or without a fan. It encases the ESC body only, leaving the entire ESC fan free to do its job. Castle did a great job with airflow through the Sidewinder 4 and RPM's ESC cage enhances that free-flowing air movement. Air channels along both sides of the ESC allow air movement along the sides of the case, while the low profile sides leave all of the built-in air vents on the ESC free and clear to flow air properly.
Each ESC Cage is designed to simplify ESC installation and maintenance of the vehicle. Two screws hold the entire assembly to the chassis, that's it! No more struggling with gooey double-sided tape to remove the ESC to clean your vehicle or transfer the electronics to another car. It's so quick, you can transfer the entire assembly from one vehicle to the next in about a minute!
RPM include a separate, encased on/off switch mount that bolts directly to the cage in one of four locations/orientations for extreme versatility. Since the switch attaches to the cage, no extra time is needed to remove it during maintenance or if you decide to swap the ESC between vehicles.
Works with Castle Sidewinder CSE010-0164-00, CSE010-0164-01, CSE010-0164-02, CSE010-0164-03, CSE010-0164-04, CSE010-0164-05, CSE010-0164-06 & CSE010-0164-07.

While chasing down a bug in coldfusion code today, I came across the following code. I’ve altered the function names for privacy reasons, but you’ll get the gist of it. For the record, I’m not proud of this code, but it minimized my coldfusion pain because it was quick.
1. Both functions have an argument “customerId”, but the function called first, myFunction, specified the customerid argument as required=”no” while returnCustomerId, which is called from myFunction, specified the required attribute as required=”yes”. Which is it?
2. No default value was provided for the optional argument in myFunction.
3. The argument type for customerId in myFunction is “string” while the type is “any” in the returnCustomerId function. Actually, both should specify “numeric” as the argument type.
Backtrace as far back as possible and make sure the customerId is set before myFunction is invoked. This function is called from a few different places in the code base and a lot of testing would be required to ensure the bug was fixed. Total time required: 2-3 hours.
In our case, we want to spend as little time as possible debugging and fixing coldfusion code since since it’s being phased out and we’ve switched to PHP. The quick solution was to alter the arguments by setting the type to numeric on printCustomerStoreId, required to yes, and simply including an if statement in myFunction that will set the customerStoreId to 1 if an empty string is passed in. Unfortunately, setting a default value won’t help since the variable does exist in the functions, even though it was empty string. Am I proud of this code? No. I can’t even figure out why I’m posting it. Total time required: 6 minutes (less time than it took to write this).

We started the day early; waking at 8:30 am to a chilled room under not quite so clean thick blankets. The plan for our group was to meet for breakfast at 9 am, discuss the day’s plans and proceed through the 100 kilometers to Everest Base Camp (EBC).
After finishing our simple Western breakfast (one small cold omelet, a small bowl of porridge made of yak milk and two pieces of toast that tasted more along the lines of stale bread), the group and I gathered the rest of our belongings and jumped into the Land Cruisers. Now…to begin the long ascent.
The road was well maintained and an enjoyable ride up until we reached the UNESCO World Heritage Site entrance. From there, our 100-kilometer off-road journey began as we were thrown like a ping-pong ball inside the small cabin.
The surrounding environment offered a vast array of views ranging from the small villages where children played effortlessly despite the lack of oxygen at a high climate and the adults put a halt to their daily tasks to peer at us Westerners as we drove by. The surrounding mountains stood spectacularly as they cast their daily shadows over the never-ending grassland.
This time of year, late September, the land was quite dry as it is considered the dry season in Tibet. The Land Cruisers that sped down the bumpy roads cast a giant shadow of dust behind them that would have made one think tat the infamous dust storms of Egypt had crossed into the lands of the Himalayas.
Continuing our drive up to about 12:30pm we stopped for lunch at a small village along the way. The buildings were painted a pasty white at the base but housed a thick layer of dust that helped them resemble the land. Along the roof-top was a rugged, 6-inch of red paint with a sort of square box design that was broader at the top and more narrow towards the base. Below this design was an intricate collection of more painted boxes ranging in colors from orange, yellow, violet, red, green & white. Inside these boxes stood a series of beautiful, hand painted flowers that circled the entire building.
Parking the vehicles and stepping through one of the doors and into the main courtyard, we found ourselves surrounded by two floors of cute but shabby little hotel rooms, basic hole-in-the-floor bathroom and a dining area to eat at.
I ordered the local yak curry & rice. It was very tasty and, after slurping it all down, we jumped into the Land Cruisers and continued our drive to EBC.
I’ve never seen terrain before like this and had no clue exactly how diverse the landscape in Tibet was while I was researching back in the Northern Villages of Laos. If I could resemble it to anywhere I had traveled before, I would have to say that it resembles that of the continental divide over Independence Pass back in Colorado.
Only this land was different in that there were no trees and the yaks & sheep roamed the land in giants herds alongside one or two herders. The large white rocks made it seem as if the land was a boulder infested white coral reef surrounded by seas of thick moss. It was very beautiful.
As we drove the remainder of the 5 hours, stopping here and there to take in the view and to rest, we finally passed through the checkpoint at Pongbuk Monastery (the highest monastery in the world) and drove the last 10-minute stretch to EBC.
The entire facility was located in the rocky valley shadow just below Everest. The camp was made up of a series of tents that shaped a large hollow box. On the outside were the black tents and in the very center, you could find all the modes of transportation that brought the hikers there. In the fine line between the parked cars and tents were evenly spread out tables where local Tibetans sold a variety of both authentic and unauthentic items such as prayer beads, singing bowls, gems, large raw crystals, prayer flags & large knives that were made to be fastened on your hip as they had done for centuries.
Inside of our seemingly small tent was a surprisingly large room filled to the brim with hard beds and tables that could house, temporarily, about 15 people. In the center was a small cast-iron stove boiling a pot of water; the flames of which were constantly fed a heavy dose of manure from both sheep & yak just wondering outside the main site.
The walls were covered in a bright, shiny cloth that resembled a very cheap satin material. The design was basic, yet beautiful. Blue & yellow patterns housed a variety of hearts, flowers, and roses while small white lines elegantly filled in the spaces. All in all, the room seemed quite comfy.
After dropping off our packs, the group prepared for the peak of our journey as we paid 25 RMB each for the local bus up to base camp and, after an additional 10 minutes or so on the long bumpy road, we finally arrived at the last checkpoint where we looked up from the base at the world’s renown Mt. Everest.
The view from the hill was like that of a rare jewel in a vast 1,000-mile cave; shining brightly against the darkness. The sky was nearly cloudless all day and there was no exception once we arrived at our destination. Apparently, that day, Karma was in our favor.
The pure white, snow-capped wonder stood proudly over 8,800 meters high against the days warming sun. I couldn’t help but to giggle at the site of her and, right at that moment, all of us hastily took out our carefully stowed beers and made cheers in celebration for such a wonderful day.
We enjoyed the view of Everest while drinking our beers up until last light from our little pedestal where we then took the bus back to EBC. All in all, the long journey was well worth the effort we put in to get there. That night it just got better as we stood on top of the world to enjoy the milky way and the clear, bright sky as the stars smiled down upon us.
Have you ever dreamed of being on top of the world and hiking to Mount Everest Basecamp?
What an absolutely incredible trip.
I really like the picture of the kids.
