Randall received the 2018 Most Outstanding Achievement Doctoral Graduate
OKMULGEE, Oklahoma — College of the Muscogee Nation Dean of Academic Affairs Monte Randall received his doctorate in education from Oral Roberts University.
Randall took a couple of years off after receiving his master’s degree from the University of Oklahoma and wanted to go back and obtain his Ph.D. for a few reasons.
“The goal of higher ed, in general, is lifelong learning. You don’t ever really quit,” Randall said.
He also said he went back to school for his family and the students at CMN.
Being a college student for over 20 years, Randall said persistence and setting goals are what helped him achieve his higher education.
Aside from receiving his degree, Randall was selected as the 2018 Most Outstanding Achievement Doctoral Graduate recipient.
“That was awarded by the ORU Graduate Faculty and just a honor to be recognized for the work,” he said.
Randall said he is the first faculty member to have a doctorate. He said being at a developing college helped push him to achieve his goal.

Footballer killer faces more than 22 years' jail
A man who killed his wife has been jailed for more than 22 years by the South Australian Supreme Court.
Regional footballer Kane Allen, 31, of Port Augusta killed his estranged wife in her home in July 2008.
Allen denied he strangled Melissa Allen and tried to make her death appear to be a suicide.
But Justice Ann Vanstone said it was a callous murder of a woman who had supported Allen both financially and emotionally.
The prosecution said domestic violence had been a factor in the relationship.
Ms Allen's family and friends told the court of their grief over the killing.
Allen will face life imprisonment, with a non-parole term of 22 years and six months.

Chadian president Mahamat Deby met with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday.
Mahamat Deby is visiting Israel to open the central African nation’s embassy in the Jewish state, building on their diplomatic relations, established five years ago.
In 2019, during Netanyahu’s last term, he and late president Idriss Deby Itno, Mahamat Deby’s father, announced the reestablishment of diplomatic relations.
The elder Deby, who ruled the Muslim-majority nation for more than three decades, was killed in 2021 on the battlefield in a fight against rebels. His son replaced him as president at the head of a military junta.
Upon landing in Israel Tuesday night, Deby was received at the airport by Mossad chief David Barnea. The Chadian delegation then headed to Mossad headquarters in Glilot for a celebratory meeting.
Mossad played a central role in maintaining quiet ties with Chad after 1972, and in working towards full normalization in recent years.
"It is in our view a tremendously important relationship with a major country in the heart of Africa. It is something that we want to carry to new levels, new heights, and your visit here in Israel and the opening of the embassy reflects that," shared Benjamin Netanyahu.
"It is above all thanks to the efforts made by the Marshal of Chad Idriss Deby Itno, rest his soul, and your personal investment which made it possible to renew relations after 5 decades," Added
Netanyahu and Deby will open the embassy Thursday morning, details on its location are yet to be specified. Though most countries keep embassies in Tel Aviv.

“Why should we consider you”, this sounds like a formal interview question but it was actually Meenakshi (Sanya Malhotra) interrogating Sundareshwar (Abhimanyu Dasani) for a reason to marry him. Vivek Soni directorial ‘Meenakshi Sunderashwar’ just released its trailer and the initial introduction looks quite quirky and different as compared to the norm. Sundareshwar gives an analogy of how engineers make the best husbands as they do not give up easily, be it ‘engineering or relationships’. With coding and a lot of sticky notes on the wall, Sundareshwar gives us a peek into engineering.
Meenakshi has a dream of her own to work at a small firm and make a big difference rather than working at a big firm where she can make no difference. We also get to know that she is a huge fan of ‘Superstar Rajinikanth’. Her imitation of Rajnikanth with the goggles in the pink saree was adorable. Giving us the feels of an authentic South-Indian wedding along with South-Indian background music, the wedding shenanigans begin.
The audience can see a rift between Sundareshwar and his father as Sundareshwar feels ashamed to run his small family business, as said by his father. Right after the marriage, when the newlywed Meenakshi and Sundareshwar are about to get intimate, he gets a job confirmation in Bangalore meaning he has to leave in 5 hours. With the couple getting no time to spend together, Sundareshwar leaves. He also gets an ultimatum from his dad about the reputation of the company.
Reality hits the couple when Sundareshwar tells Meenakshi that he can neither come back to Madurai nor call her to Bangalore. This is where Meenakshi steals the show by giving him her 100% support and empowering him to do something for him, for them.
“Long distance relationships are hard” is depicted by a few funny scenes where they try t communicate with each other. Meenakshi is shown to travel to Bangalore to support Sundareshwar but she catches him partying and dancing with his friends, after which she feels completely lost in their relationship. Sundareshwar tells her to consider him as a loss-making company of Madurai which needs her patience and support. Drama continues and at some point, Meenakshi seems to be done in the relationship.
“Can their marriage survive the long distance?”, is the question this movie asks. It is a general question that every person in a long distance relationship feels. The trailer ends with a role play which you may have to watch for yourself!
‘Meenakshi Sundareshwar’ is set to release on 5th November on Netflix.

Hello and welcome to my corner of the interwebs.
I’m a writer, photographer, artist, cartoonist, runner, animal enthusiast, and budding evil genius. Yes, my plan is to take over the world one day with well written novels, hilarious cartoons, and a very well mannered disposition. Watch out, here I come.
For ten years I was active duty in the US Navy, I’ve been all around the globe and been many wonderful and terrifying places. One of the things that kept me sane during four deployments were all the amazing books I brought with me. I’ve wanted to be a writer almost as long as I’ve been an artist, but it wasn’t until the last couple years that I’ve been putting in some serious effort.
As well as my SpaceWriter comic, I’ve got a couple novel-length projects in the works that should be published later this year and I can’t wait. Those will be quickly followed up by several more I’ve got in the pipeline.
Thanks for stopping by!

Brilliant, Captivating, Classic Netflix, Drug Cartel Drama on Pablo Escobar
- Narcos review by PV
This is as good as series one, or maybe even better. EVERYTHING is right - the casting, the acting, the writing, the setting, the plot progression, the music. Filmed in Colombia too which is great, and I do not mind subtitles at all. So authentic and fascinating. The way real-life TV footage of 1980s and early 90s is spliced into the drama really works - which surprised me. But it works. It just does. We even see real TV footage of Pablo's mum at the end.
I would watch this all over again, It is that good. The only people who maybe should be worried are South American tourist boards as the place looks dodgy and dangerous as hell really, with massive violence and enormous poverty, and so a destination to be avoided. For me, anyway.
The Brazilian (I think) actor Wagner Moura plays Pablo Escobar with class and style - PERFECT casting. Even if the belly prosthetic and fake beard look a bit off. That is very common in TV drama BUT the locations here look so authentic. You can almost smell the humidity and heat, not to mention the crime, corruption and danger.
Wagner and the writers of course manage to make Escobar, a brutal charismatic drug lord who murdered so many so ruthlessly, a victim in the end. This can be done - as with Hitler in DOWNFALL of the TV drama about Saddam. And it works - these people are all just human. They were all babes in arms once...
It is sad to say but maybe a TV version of this not made by Netflix would have played it safe, and censored the name 'Blackie' for a start and maybe insisted on more female roles as they do these days - I am SO glad the producers of this did not defer to the diversity quota orders common now. Of course, in many ways, the very word 'Gringo' for all white people is racist... It is authentic though so why the problem?
The extras on disc 3 here worth a watch too. The only thing I would have liked more is some on-screen information at the end about what happened to the characters who got arrested and also to Pablo's family.
5 stars. if this series has not won awards then it has been robbed.

Read an Excerpt
I turn the knob and push open the door. Agnes lets go of my arm and slides her hand along the wall until she finds the light switch. A fluorescent light flickers on above us, revealing two cars parked side by side. One is the Atwoods' regular car, a white Toyota. I've seen Agnes's parents driving it around Mursey, picking her up from school, filling it with gas at the Shell station on Buckley Road. The other is an old, silver Chevy I ain't seen before."My sister's car," Agnes says, like she's reading my mind. "She's still at college, so nobody's using it.""Won't she be home for summer soon, though?"Agnes shrugs. "We need it more than she does."I can't argue with that. Agnes and I toss our backpacks in the back. Neither of our bags are heavy. We just packed what we absolutely needed. "Hop in, Utah," I say, patting the backseat. She climbs onto the seat and licks the side of my face before I shut the door.Agnes gets into the passenger seat and I run to turn off the garage light before I slide behind the wheel. Above my head, attached to the visor, is an automatic garage door opener."Will your parents hear?""No," Agnes says. "They sleep like rocks."My heart is pounding and my hands are slick with sweat as I shove one of the keys into the ignition. It takes me a few tries to get it to turn over, and the revving is so loud it makes me flinch. Her parents had better sleep like the dead, or else we ain't even getting out of the driveway. The clock on the dashboard lights up and tells me it's just past three a.m."Agnes," I say, almost choking on her name. "You sure you wanna do this?""No." She turns her head, and this time she's looking right at me. "But I'm doing it anyway."
Most Helpful Customer Reviews
Run by Kody Keplinger is a fictional novel bursting with rebellion and adventure. Agnes Atwood is a legally blind, firmly-grounded teenager who has never broken a rule in her life, and Bo Dickinson is a wildcard with a bad reputation from a family known for its disregard for the law. In fact, the only thing Agnes and Bo have in common is their tiny, stagnant hometown called Mursey. However, the two become unlikely friends, and when Bo decides to flee town after her mother is arrested, Agnes refuses to stay behind. The girls embark on a frenzied journey on which they discover much about their world and themselves. Will the runaways evade the authorities and Agnes's parents? Will Bo be captured and thrown into the foster care system? Can their friendship withstand the secrets they uncover along the way? Run is much more than just another young adult read full of unexciting drama. It is unpredictable, enhanced with shocking twists and constant action. From blindness to homosexuality, the characters are all unique, and they only grow more interesting as the plot unfolds. Throughout her book, Keplinger uses dialect and emotion to capture her readers' attention and draw them into the story. Because the plot is built on themes of friendship and self-esteem, the novel is not only entertaining but also meaningful. My favorite aspect of Run, however, was Keplinger’s perfect timing. She planted countless questions in her readers’ minds, keeping them in suspense and then revealing the astounding truth at just the right moment. Run is an excellent book for teenagers seeking a thrilling adventure. However, explicit language and subject matter make the novel best for more mature readers. I recommend Run to anyone who wishes to "run" away from reality with a fantastic book. Isabella T., 16, Memphis Mensa
this book is so good, you will be so sad when you finish it. really recommend it to teens who love someone savage such as bo.

TROY DEENEY could be set for a sensational move to Leicester City, if the Foxes can stump up for Watford's £25million asking price.
The 29-year-old is a fan favourite at Vicarage Road and has fired 106 goals for the club since his move from Walsall in 2010 and is their leading Premier League-era goalscorer.
Deeney is from the Midlands though and is known to be keen on a move back to the region and a switch to the 2016 Premier League champions would be no step down.
Craig Shakespeare has reignited the club's interest for Deeney after the Foxes attempted to make a swoop for him last summer, but then manager Claudio Ranieri was left empty handed.
This summer, manager Shakespeare has had an initial £20m bid turned down and the club reckon the £25m they offered last summer should do the job, according to the Mirror.
Leicester are also resigned to losing Riyad Mahrez if a suitable bid comes in for the winger who starred in their title-winning season.
The French-born Algerian is known to want to leave and admitted he stayed on at the King Power after they won the Premier League title to honour the club.
But now he is known to be restless and Shakespeare will see Deeney as an option to be able to cover any likely departure of the 26-year-old.
MOST READ IN SPORT
Deeney has also been courted by West Brom boss Tony Pulis but the £25m valuation has been a hurdle for the Baggies and interest has wavered.
New Hornets boss Marco Silva is set on signing out-of-favour Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs in but is not keen to spend £15m on the deal.
The Englishman has a year left to run on his deal at the Emirates and has so far not agreed to extend his stay.
Watford have made a key signing in Derby midfielder Will Hughes, who starred for England at the Under-21 Euros last month.
But they are set to lose Stefano Okaka, who has been offered a big-money move to Shanghai Shenhua.

Klopp urges Liverpool to ignore Chelsea's winning run
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insisted Chelsea can be caught at the top of the Premier League table after his side beat Stoke 4-1 at Anfield.
Chelsea have opened up a six point lead at the top of the table after a 12-game winning run, but Klopp is convinced his side can trim their advantage at the top.
"We are really focused on our own way," the German said. "Of course we watch football all we can and know the other results, but this is not the moment of the season.
"If Chelsea win all the games then they will be champions. They will deserve it and that is absolutely okay.
"We have to fight for each point and, as you saw tonight, we won 4-1, but how difficult was it? You need to be ready for each game. It is still open, we are in the race so that is good."
The visitors, who included former Reds striker Peter Crouch in their starting line-up, troubled the Liverpool defence early on and were rewarded when Simon Mignolet failed to keep out Jon Walters' near-post header in the 12th minute.
But Liverpool gradually came back into the game and led at half-time courtesy of goals from Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino.
An own goal from Giannelli Imbula and a smart finish from substitute Daniel Sturridge after the interval ensured Liverpool moved back into second place in the table, six points behind leaders Chelsea.
Firmino hit the headlines for the wrong reasons on Christmas Eve when he was charged with drink-driving.
But the forward put his off-field problems to one side to produce a brilliant performance which was capped off with a fine goal a minute before half-time to give Liverpool a 2-1 lead.
"He played really well," Klopp said. "About the other issues I cannot speak. He deserved the goal.
"It is not the most easy time on the pitch, but he is always important for us. He is always hard-working, always has his moments, and today was a fantastic goal."
Sturridge made an instant impact when coming off the bench in the 70th minute, taking advantage of a Ryan Shawcross blind back pass and coolly rounding goalkeeper Lee Grant before slotting into the empty net.
"He is so important," Klopp added. "It is good that he is back, he looks fit so that is really good.
"We have a lot of games so it is perfect for us. Everybody knows we lose Sadio (Mane) to the Africa Cup (African Nations Cup) so it is very important that Daniel is here. It was a wonderful goal."

The Los Angeles Times says Beck wanted to get away from the extreme summer heat of Pasadena. He bought a smaller home on the west side of L.A. a few months ago.

With the new year finally here we can expect a slew of new trends to pop up in the wedding world — especially for 2019 wedding fashion trends. We’re predicting all sorts of upgrades to traditional bridal looks, guest attire, and menswear making 2019 a memorable year for wedding fashion. So, if you’re curious about what to ditch and what you should look out for in the new year, you’re in luck. Check out these five wedding fashion trends that are out for 2019, and five that you’ll be seeing at every type of celebration.
Trust us, these 2019 wedding fashion trends are going to be big this year.
In: Clean and minimalist
Out: Overly embellished
Say goodbye to princess-inspired lace and embellishments for 2019 wedding dresses, because this year we will be seeing minimalist and subdued designs take center stage. Simplicity will be the new norm for brides all thanks to Meghan Markle’s iconic and understated wedding-day look. From clean wedding dresses to gowns with just a few details, brides will be able to show off their figure this year in an understated and modern way.
In: Mismatched styles
Out: Beige and gray
When it comes to 2019 wedding fashion trends for grooms and groomsmen we definitely think that classic cohesive looks will be left in the past. Instead, grooms and groomsmen will opt for mix and match styles and bold colors when choosing suits or tuxedos. Pulling from different wedding colors and not sticking to a traditional solid suit lets grooms really make a statement. From mix and match suits to groomsmen (and even guests!) in various shades of burgundy, neutrals, such as beige or gray, will definitely take a backseat in menswear for this upcoming year.
Mother of the Bride (or Groom!) Gowns
In: Shorter hemlines
Mother-of-the-bride or groom dresses definitely are getting an upgrade for 2019 wedding fashion trends. While classic floor-length options have been the go-to choice for years, expect to see moms showing off some leg with the help of shorter hemlines in 2019. Cocktail, midi, and (our favorite) high-low hemlines are going to be making MOBs/MOGs feel confident and stylish this year by exposing just the right amount of leg. The best part? This gives moms the chance to step up their shoe game, too!
Lighter fabrics, like chiffon, have been the “it” fabric for bridesmaid dresses, but not this year! With fall weddings becoming more popular, bridesmaid dresses are moving away from soft hues and feminine fabrics. Instead, richer fabrics, such as velvet and satin, are making a comeback in 2019, which gives ‘maids a more sultry and chic wedding party look. These luxe fabrics also come in a variety of jewel tones and other moody colors, which definitely helps add a dramatic touch.
Out: Off-the shoulder dresses
While the romantic off-the-shoulder look has been popular, we expect this fad to fade for 2019 guest attire. This year guests will be sporting a more sophisticated outfit choice by opting for jumpsuits or even pantsuit options. Jumpsuits create a chic, fashion-forward style and can easily be dressed up or down to match different dress codes. The all-in-one ensemble is also easy to move around in making it a fab choice for those who want to hit the dance floor.

Hard Times, a Christmas Carol
The children stop in mute dismay,
Choke back their shrieks of glee
And stare in dumbstruck horror
At the space beneath the tree,
Seeing naught but mounds of offal
Where there ought to be a Wii.
O! Dry your eyes my precious ones!
Nay, do not blubber so.
The newly poor must look for Gifts
More deep than outward show.
Content yourselves with abstract stuff
Like Peace and Love. Ho ho!

We consider it, question it, ignore it. Quantum physics tells us over and over that the physical constructs we create are simply perceptions of the mind, drawn by the human brain to help comprehend what exists on the most basic of levels. At that base, everything is an amalgamation of energy waves interweaving to create substance that we perceive as structures.
If we are waves, as quantum physics tells us, then we are all interconnected, constantly reaching out to connect with our surroundings and each other. Physical touch, communication, and emotions are manifestations of these desires to connect, to represent the quantum continuance. The journey to understanding begins with that desire.
To understand, we must moved beyond the physical realm. The physical constructs our minds create cannot hold us back. Instead, we indulge in imagination and seek to reach beyond limited comprehension to a plain that few will ever understand.
Spiritual. Physical. Logical. This is the point where they meet, the journey to understanding.

The development of early warning signals to detect the onset of regime shifts in marine and terrestrial ecosystems has received increasing attention during the last decade. The theoretical interest for these indicators has created a novel and promising framework for studying tipping points in ecological systems. The challenge, however, is whether these indicators can be applied in reality.
To evaluate the indicators, and more precisely the patch-based indicators, as indicators of dryland degradation, we used a data set from another European project, BIOCOM, coordinated by Fernando Maestre (Madrid, Spain) . This work is part of the Ph.D. thesis of Miguel Berdugo, co-supervised by Sonia Kéfi, Fernando Maestre and Santiago Soliveres. The database contains vegetation and soil data of 224 drylands from all around the world. For each site, the dataset contains the estimated plant cover, the frequency of positive plant-plant interactions, 16 soil variables (related to the carbon, nitrogen and plosphorous cycles) hereafter called ‘functions’, and the aridity index (AI, precipitation/potential evapotranspiration).
From these sites, we retained for this study those from which we could gather »»Google EarthTM or »»VirtualEarthTM images good enough for visually identifying vegetation patches. The resulting 115 sites used for the analyses are located in 13 countries and differ widely in their abiotic (elevation, temperature and precipitation) and biotic (vegetation type, cover and number of species) features.
We used the combination of remote sensing and field data to evaluate the links between vegetation cover, patch-size distribution and multifunctionality (the ability of ecosystem to provide several soil fertility related services at the same time; it was measured as the average Zscore of the 16 soil variables; see  for a description of the approach).
We found that the observed vegetation patch-size distributions always fitted heavy-tailed distributions with varying levels of curvature (see »Identification of the indicators). Distributions showing strong curvatures have a relatively low proportion of patch sizes that fit a power law (i.e. a low Power Law Range, hereafter referred to as PLR). These curvatures are caused by the lack of the largest and/or of the smallest vegetation patches compared to what would be expected in a pure power law: PL-like sites whose patch size distribution fits best a power law, and ii) and non PL-like sites which had more curved distributions.
Moreover, we found a bimodal distribution of multifunctionality values in our field sites, which suggests contrasting multifunctionality states in global drylands. This can be interpreted as the existence of two alternative states in multifunctionality in global drylands. More specifically, mapping the number and value of estimated alternative states along the aridity gradient studied reveals a range of aridity values (between 0.2 and 0.4, meaning that 1-AI is between 0.6 and 0.8) for which two multifunctionality levels coexist across our sites (Figure 7). The type of patch-size distribution was significantly associated with the two multifunctionality states observed (PL-like sites in the upper branch and non-PL-like sites in the bottom branch).
Variation of the ‘stable’ states (i.e. local minima of the stability landscape (black line) along the aridity gradient studied for multifunctionality. AI = aridity index (annual precipitation / annual evapotranspiration). Contour lines represent the estimated potential energy from which the ‘stable’ states are derived as local minima, i.e. blue color represent more stable states and red color represent less stable states. Figure from .
Changes in patch-size distributions indicate a spatial reorganization of the existing cover, which is related to processes influencing the functioning of drylands, such as soil erosion. Modifications in spatial patterns can also reflect important variations in the structure of plant communities unrelated to changes in cover.

Mum took advantage of son's shop scam to steal cigarettes and electricity card
A woman has been fined after she took cigarettes and an electricity card as part of a till scam her son had been operating at a corner shop.
Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Friday, December 29, how Kelly Marie Strawinski, 38, of Cauldon Drive, Holmehall, Chesterfield, took advantage of her 18-year-old son’s scam while he was working at Londis and was abusing an employee’s account system.
Prosecuting solicitor Sanjay Jerath said: “The defendant’s son worked for Londis and over three months he was in essence scamming the tills.
“His mother went on one occasion to Londis to utilise his son’s involvement by receiving an electricity credit and a packet of cigarettes.
“Her son was dealt with by restorative justice agreeing to pay back the £400 or some taken and his mother has been charged.
“This defendant is also paying for her son’s misdemeanours.”
Strawinski pleaded guilty to aiding, abetting, counselling and procuring theft from a shop from May.
Defence solicitor Kirsty Sargent said: “The defendant’s son was an employee at the local corner shop and over a three-month period he took advantage of an employee account system to put things on an account and pay for them later.
“On one occasion his mother has taken a packet of cigarettes and an electricity card and had not paid for these items and she knew they should have been paid for.”
Ms Sargent added: “Ms Strawinski said it was just the temptation when her son was taking items and it was low value items she took to assist her on benefits. The temptation got the better of her and she has not done anything since and she only has one previous conviction on her record.”
Strawinski’s 18-year-old son now has no income, according to Ms Sargent, and she is paying back the money he owes.
Magistrates fined Strawinski £120 and ordered her to pay a £30 victim surcharge and £85 costs.


Bloomberg says that model will also give you a way to summon Siri without having to tap the headphones. You'll simply have to say "Hey, Siri" the same way you do whenever you activate the voice assistant on an iPhone or a HomePod hands-free. Unfortunately, the model meant to be water-resistant won't be ready until next year, at least -- and it doesn't sound like you'll be able to take it swimming. At most, it won't be affected by rain or splashes of water, but it might not survive being completely submerged in liquid.
Considering Cupertino's "other products" category has been doing very well, it's not exactly surprising that it's taking the chance to grow that part of its business. The "others" category, which includes the AirPods, the Apple Watch and other accessories, saw a 70 percent year-over-year increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2018. You may want to temper your excitement for any new AirPod models, though. According to Bloomberg's sources, Apple could still change its plans or experience delays.
They didn't say if the tech titan plans to withdraw existing AirPods when new ones come out, but Apple is known to make older models available at a lower price when it's time to release upgraded designs. That way, it's lowering the barrier to entry and encouraging those on the fence to give its products a shot.

Accurate thermocouple temperature measurement requires a stable reference junction. It is common practice to create a transition reference junction by attaching a copper lead wire to each thermocouple leg. When the transition reference junction is held at the ice point 0°C (32°F) the output of the thermocouple appearing across the copper leads attached to the readout instrument is stable and predictable. For accuracy and convenience, OMEGA offers its series TRP REFERENCE PROBE which locates the thermocouple-copper transition reference junction at the end of an 1 /8 " diameter sheath for easy insertion into the TRCIII-A ice point calibration chamber. Up to six series TRP Probes can be used at one time in OMEGA’s Ice Point Chamber. Use the temperature-millivolt tables to convert readings into °C or °F when using a voltmeter with the TRCIII-A Ice Point reference cell shown below.

Israel-Hamas war: Don’t harm innocent people, CAN pleads with Israel
The Christian Association of Nigeria has pleaded with the nation of Israel not to attack innocent people in its bid to get back at Hamas the terrorist Palestinian group that launched an offensive against it over the weekend.
Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, October 7 leaving over 200 Israeli dead. The onslaught which took Israel unawares has led to more loss of lives since Israel launched a counter-attack.
So far the death toll in the conflict between Palestine and Israel has reached a record high since 2014 according to a report on CNN. The latest violence has caused more than 1000 deaths in Israel and approximately 900 in Gaza as of Oct. 10, according to authorities on both sides.
But CAN in a statement made available to Church Times on Wednesday, October 11 urged Israel not to attack civilians in the battle.
The body in the statement signed by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh noted that the attack by Hamas on Israeli citizens is distressing.
“It undermines the pursuit of global peace. CAN firmly condemns any act of violence that threatens the lives of innocent individuals, regardless of their nationality or religious background.”
While recognizing Israel’s right to self-defense CAN emphasized the importance of “proportionality and the avoidance of harm to innocent civilians in any military response. The loss of innocent lives on both sides of the conflict is a tragic consequence of this escalating situation”
CAN called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and violence between Israel and Palestine. “We believe in the sanctity of human life and the principles of justice and peace, as upheld by our Christian faith. We urge all parties involved to engage in dialogue and seek diplomatic solutions.”
The body suggested that “the airlifting of Pilgrims from Nigeria to Israel be suspended until normalcy returns in the area noting that “the ongoing conflict in the region raises concerns about the safety and well-being of Nigerian pilgrims.”
The war according to CAN also holds significant implications for Nigeria’s faith communities. “It is crucial for religious leaders and communities in Nigeria to actively promote understanding, compassion, and peaceful coexistence among diverse religious groups. We must resist the temptation to allow this conflict to deepen divisions or inflame religious tensions within our nation, Nigeria.”
it then called for prayers for the repose of the souls of those who were killed in the violent attack and the resultant war.
The association encouraged all religious congregations in Nigeria to “engage in fervent prayers for peace and unity in the region, for the protection and well-being of those affected by the conflict, and for the speedy release of the abducted individuals”

Drinks are on Maistelman and Associates
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Mel Flanagan issued a Continued Temporary Restraining Order late today, Thursday, January 28th, 2010, ordering the City of Milwaukee to treat the Ladybug Club as if it were a licensed Class “B” Alcohol Beverage retailer.
The move came after the City informed the Ladybug Club’s wholesalers that it would be illegal to sell alcohol beverages to the club, despite the provisions of the Restraining Order permitting the club to remain open pending judicial review of its license. [See earlier Milwaukeeworld posts on the license saga.]
Apparently the City Attorney sought to circumvent the court’s ruling (and arguably its prerogative) by cutting off the liquor supply to the club, located at 618 N. Water St.
The judge was not impressed, ruling the city’s attempts improper, and staying them pending finalization of her judicial review.


There sure are a lot of guns to use in Call of Duty: Warzone.
With Black Ops Cold War’s season two, the grand total for assault rifles in Warzone was brought to a whopping 20 with the FARA 83. There’s no shortage of choices when it comes to building a loadout to use in the battle royale.
The FARA 83 is a “fully-automatic assault rifle is a heavyweight among its peers, as it claims one of the fastest fire rates in its class and outstanding effective range for solid damage,” Activision says. “In the hands of a capable Operator, the FARA 83 can be a true force in crushing the opposition.”
Remember the Galil in Black Ops 1? This gun is similar and it’ll be immediately reminiscent once you fire the gun with its iron sights. But it needs some help from the attachments that you can unlock once you earn the gun at tier 15 in the season two battle pass.
Here’s how to equip the FARA 83 for Warzone games on Caldera or even Rebirth Island.
Best FARA 83 Warzone loadout
- Barrel: 18.7″ Spetsnaz RPK Barrel
- Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock
- Underbarrel: Infiltrator Grip
- Ammunition: Spetsnaz 50 Rnd
- Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap
This is a bit of a submachine gun-like build for the FARA, turning it into a secondary CQC option instead of a long-range assault rifle. These attachments will buff your movement in a big way, allowing it to feel stronger up close than usual.
You can pair this FARA build with another AR for maximum efficiency. It’s comparable to the FFAR 1 when it comes to secondary options for when you’re inside the buildings in Verdansk.
- Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
- Barrel: 19.5″ Liberator
- Optic: Axial Arms 3x
- Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip
- Ammunition: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd
The FARA 83 is a decent assault rifle. It pales in comparison to the AMAX or even the Grau, but it’s fun to play with if you’re looking to try out a different gun and shake up the monotony of your old loadouts.
The main issue with the FARA is its accuracy at long ranges. This thing kicks like a mule, so you need to try and rein it in as much as possible with Spetsnaz Grip. This loadout ups both its accuracy and range to help it out.
The 60 round mag is key here, too, because you’ll need the extra ammunition to help chunk down enemy armor. Pace your shots at a distance and the FARA 83 can be a new addition to your arsenal.

It's the middle of September so it must be time to start thinking about Christmas (please don't pelt me with things). Actually since I became an internationally selling publisher, I've come to realise how important Christmas is in the selling of books. Certainly summer is not great - for some reason it would seem there is some resistance to the idea of taking large format art/history books to the beach. I've still been getting a trickle of sales (just about to drop off the latest batch for posting) but I'm starting to think about how to raise awareness for the Christmas present buyers out there. Despite all the fantastic publicity and reviews, there are still a lot of people out there who have never heard of 'A Group Photograph'. I don't think I'm going to get many more of the traditional opportunities so I've decided it's time to go out into left field - I'm going to paint my bottom blue and sky-dive off the Shard trailing tinsel in the shape of Santa. Obviously there are some logistical difficulties to get over first (not least in finding enough blue paint), so in the meantime if anyone's got any better ideas (unlikely, I know), then I'd be glad to hear them. In any event, I hope that I've got enough books this time that I'm not in the position of organising a reprint in December again!
My plan earlier in the year was to get my next book (about the experience of doing this whole project) out there in time for Christmas. I've managed to get a long way with the writing but was just thinking it wouldn't do it justice to rush things just for the sake of a quick buck when I got distracted by preparations for a meeting about hosting my exhibition at the Forum in Norwich. The layout means that it won't be the same as it was in Ypres, but they have facilities there that make it possible to develop some of my ideas further and it's a fantastic opportunity to reach a different and wider audience (possibly even in terms of making it into a touring exhibition). We're talking about doing a taster in March 2017 (alongside an exhibition on making the most of old photographs for family & local history) and then a full exhibition in November 2018 for the Centenary of the Armistice.
The Forum has a very high-tech gallery space that will enable me to create something I wasn't able to do in Ypres - an animated photomontage of all the photographs I've got of these men (over 1200 of them) - something that takes that one moment in time in the original photograph and gives it depth and life. It's going to take a lot of work but will be extraordinary to look at when it's done. At the moment I'm going through cutting out and re-sizing and positioning and blending in each of the photographs - and this is what I'm going to be doing for some time yet.
I've got a few presentations coming up (1st October: Appledore Book Festival, Devon - 10th October: Herne Bay Historical Society, Kent - 13th October: The Friends of Newtown Road Cemetery, Newbury, Berkshire - see www.groupphoto.co.uk/presentations for further details) and I'm sorry I haven't followed up on other requests but I'm wanting to concentrate on creating artwork at the moment. I hadn't created anything new for a year and although what I'm doing is laborious, it is great to be so totally absorbed in something again. It seems to be a feature of so many forms of art that they force you to look at things more closely and in so doing you see things that you would not otherwise notice. Looking so concentratedly at old photographs is like a form of time travel. It is hard to imagine that the people pictured are not still alive - as I cut round a child's sandals I can imagine the wriggling as their mother helped to put them on, things that were habitual become special because the moment was captured - a cigarette smoking between fingers, a cup of coffee being drunk, a beer being poured - I can almost smell these things and hear the chatter around them - and when a pair of eyes look directly at me via someone-else's camera it is as if they are with me now. We can get so absorbed in the busyness of life that we miss the magic in the everyday.
A few things have helped me recently. Firstly there was this little video: www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37308675 - and that has made me realise how lucky I have been - that though I've had a lot of people not take the time to notice that I've done something original, not everyone has said "No!" - that there are people who have said "Yes!" and given me fantastic opportunities and I must make the most of them. Secondly, a friend suggested I work out what my goals for my project are. This year I've been so bound up with selling books and the difficulties that go with that and that has led to me losing focus on what's important to me. I never did this to make money, yet the times that I have had to struggle with next to no money have sometimes risen too high up in my memory and led to worry which is not helpful. I want to open people's eyes to new ways of looking at life and the world around us and so I must concentrate on getting people to see what I've created. The book tells only part of the story - my artwork shows more. And thirdly another friend responded with such enthusiasm to my animated photomontage idea that when I expressed my worries about how I was going to make a living whilst doing it, he said, "Well, you've made it this far, just get on with it and it'll work out". So that's what I'm doing (though don't be surprised if something large, blue and tinselly is reported airborne near the Shard).

Owning a dog can be a lot of work, but ask any dog owner and they’ll tell you the love and companionship you receive is well worth the time and effort! When you first bring home your new furry friend, you’ll be over joyed by how cute and loving they are. But more often than not, you’ll also quickly be overwhelmed by how un-trained they are, how frequently they pee (inside your house), and how much endless energy they seem to have. The sooner you begin training, the sooner you and your dog can start living a happy and stress-free life. Seriously, how can such a tiny dog have so much energy?
Before you jump into training, there are a few tips every dog parent should know—read on to learn some of our favorites!
It may sound strange, but dogs can sense our emotions and often behave based on what they sense. This means that if you are overly anxious when it comes time to teach your dog “sit,” your dog may sense that anxiety, and in turn become anxious as well. An anxious dog trying to learn a new trick? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to guess that it won’t end well. Stay cool, calm, and collected while training your dog and hope that your calmness rubs off on them.
Training doesn’t happen overnight. It takes lots of time, repetition, and patience. If your dog isn’t understanding the new trick right away, don’t worry! Stay calm, and continue working on it. If you find yourself (or your dog) getting tired or discouraged, take a break. Training is all about patience, for both you and your dog.
When it comes to dog training, it is common to want to jump in head first by saying the word or phrase you want your dog to perform while making the dog perform the action (i.e. saying “sit” while getting your dog to sit). This is a lot for a dog to comprehend all at once.
Instead, begin your training by simply making the dog perform the action and rewarding them. Once your dog can successfully “sit” or “shake” (whatever the trick may be), you can then add in the word. It may seem like an extra step, but easing into the trick is crucial. You want your dog to know that the action is what you are praising and rewarding, not them simply hearing the word.
Dogs are not born understanding what we humans view as “good” and “bad” behavior. Because of this, it’s important to reward your dog whenever they exhibit “good” behavior. You can reward your dog with:
So often dogs are trained in the confines of their (quiet and distraction-free) home. This is a perfectly acceptable environment to begin your training in, especially when working on the basics. But don’t be surprised when you take your dog out into the real world and they seem to forget everything you’ve taught them! Training in the home only goes so far.
Distractions can be anything from a neighbor mowing the lawn or a car driving by to a bird flying overhead or even a slight shift in the wind. There is no better place to train your dog than out in the real world where they are tested by countless distractions. Whether you go to the park and work on your sit/stays, or bring your dog into your local Shoppers Supply store (yes, dogs are allowed!), training outside of the home will be the best thing you can do for your dog.
Just as us humans have different traits and characteristics, so do our dogs. Before you begin training, it’s important to truly know your dog. What scares them? What gets them excited? What distracts them? The more you know about your dog, the more responsive you’ll be as you begin training. If loud noises scare your dog, then you’ll want to begin training in a calm and quiet space. You can then begin training in louder areas so that your dog gets used to those loud noises and learns that something such as an airplane overhead is nothing to be scared of.
Like we said earlier, training doesn’t happen overnight. The more you practice with your dog, the better trained and more well-behaved they will be! Seems simple enough, right? Then what are you waiting for?
If you’ve recently adopted a new dog, or have one that could use a little more training, there is no better time than the present to get going. And before you do, make sure to stop by your local Shoppers Supply to pick up treats and other training supplies to help make the process as easy as possible.

GPC Resort Expansion Project Includes Dredging
In partnership with the City of Scottsboro, Goose Pond Colony Resort has undergone a $2 million marina expansion.
The first phase of this expansion, set to be wrapped up this spring, brought one new dock with 44 new slips and the dredging of the marina entrance for easy access.
“The marina expansion and other improvements show our commitment to enhancing the public’s outdoor space in the Scottsboro community,” said General Manager Lyle Sosebee.
Over the next few phases, three docks will be added, bringing a total of 140 new slips to the marina.
The Alabama Department of Tourism recognized Goose Pond as one of the Top 10 Parks and Natural Destinations in the state.


Hatleberg says that Humboldt was very welcoming, and people were eager to let him into their lives.
Poverty. Sadness. A psychoactive tinge? Dudes, did you know we have a landscape that is "very psychedelic?" That's according to photographer Curran Hatleberg, recipient of a 2015 grant from Magnum Foundation's Emergency Fund and the 2014 Individual Photographer's Fellowship from the Aaron Siskind Foundation. Hatleberg, who spent the 2013 fall semester teaching photography at College of the Redwoods, has a book featuring our region, Lost Coast
, coming out in September. According to Hatleberg, the photos included in this preview
from Vice Magazine
, are "just a teaser." He held some of his favorites back.
Hatleberg, who spent six months here, says that Humboldt still remains "an enigma" to him. According to his Vice
interview, people here "exist in a kind of dream state, propped up by the mythology of the Pacific Northwest."
Hatleberg says his subjects were extremely welcoming. The photographer spent a lot of time snapping shots tourists would be unlikely to frame: the top of a sawmill, a cluttered backyard, the back of a pickup truck. So how do you capture scenes of poverty without exploiting your subject? Are his frames a poor representation of where we're from, a way to titillate the middle class with our region's unsophisticated sensibilities?
"I value the time that people share with me, and I’m honored to learn about people and places that I’m not from," says Hatleberg. "For strangers to give me the time to spend with them, it’s a privilege and luxury to have."
He adds that "you can’t go someplace for six months and really understand it fully. At the end of the day I think I had more questions than answers."
For a perspective on Humboldt County from the inside, here are a few photo essays to check out:

Firms especially from mature and asset intensive industries are right to be worried about digital transformation. Research and projects alike show that firms with platform and network-based business models are much (exponentially) better at creating value. The growth is faster and cash flow higher.
Creating a successful platform business is hard if you don’t have a brilliant idea, ample capital, no core business to cannibalize and a team of top (digital) talent. So, what can established firms do?
From our point of view firms are confused by thinking and doing. They need to understand that platforms and networks are mental models and business models alike. The traditional way of management thinking is still linear and incremental. The value lies in the products and serves themselves. However, the new way of thinking about value and value creation is based on networks and is exponential. A platform connects (content) providers and users in a multisided market. The value is not the thing being produced but in the connections, being made. Thus, the platform provider is fostering the connections between nodes instead of creating the nodes (between people, things, data etc.).
A great way to understand that a platform defines the ability to generate a network effect is to adapt Einstein’s famous formula E=MC². E is the enterprise value. M is mass, in this case all the things, people and assets of the ecosystem. C² is the exponential effect of connectivity and co-creation. In established firms or businesses there is little connectivity or co-creation. Which means that the enterprise value is equal to the “mass” of the company. But adding connections and co-creation the ability of theses mass to create value multiplied.
Therefore, it is necessary to understand that principle; Start always with M and add the C² to generate more E. Every firm has several structural elements i.e. types of capital: human, financial, intellectual, physical etc. Let’s focus on the links rather than the nodes.
Considering a firm i.e. an organization itself as a platform, connecting people who have ideas and vision work with people with skills and execution expertise. Furthermore, using crowdsourcing platforms that engage people from inside and outside the firm. Some firms focus on a more networked approach which means work on increasing connectivity (C²) instead of increase productivity of M.
For intellectual capital, the value is not in the IP itself but in the connectivity of that IP. APIs are for data exchange that enable the sharing of software and data among customers, suppliers and partners. This software connectivity and data exchange is the core business of platform companies like Google. Leading firms recognize that the way to create value (E) is not by creating scarcity and exclusivity (M) but connectivity of utility (C²).
Physical assets are able in digital world to generate value in how they work together. The internet of things (IoT) is not just about making products smarter, it’s about connecting them to each other. Every firm need to be thinking about how its products and assets could become part of “The Internet”.
Digital currencies like bitcoin, build on distributed models of verification and payment through blockchain and move financial capital toward more-networked form of currency. Funding sources can be networked e.g. Kickstarter and other crowdfunding models. Money itself becomes more intelligent and connected.
Every firm who embark on their network journey, should keep in mind that the place to start is with their mental model. Value in a network is about what you connect, not what you make. Change the firms thinking will naturally change what the firm do. Then change what you measure to align incentives and track the transformation process.

After a two-year hiatus, the Hoboken music store Guitar Bar will host its eighth free play-along concert, featuring The Guitar Bar All-Stars, at Sinatra Park in Hoboken, July 21.
Guitar Bar owner James Mastro invites attendees to play along with store staff members who make up the All-Stars band by bringing acoustic guitars or other stringed instruments. The goal is to organize the world’s largest band, according to Mastro.
“After being so isolated these past couple years, I can’t think of a better way to bring people together then to resume this show,” said Mastro. “These concerts never cease to amaze me at how powerful and cathartic it can be playing music with other people — and when you make it several hundred playing at the same time, that power is exponentially multiplied.
“Even if someone is just watching the event, there’s no way you won’t be uplifted.”
In 2013, he planned the first event — coincidentally, the day before Bob Dylan was scheduled to perform in Hoboken.
“We were planning the Dylan tribute night, and it just seemed selfish for us to have all the fun,” Mastro said in a prior interview. “His songs — though lyrically deep — are some of the simplest songs to play. So we encouraged people to bring their guitars, and we held up chord charts for them to follow along.”
The record for the largest performing rock band is 953 musicians, set by the Beijing Contemporary Music Academy in Tianjin, China. Mastro, his staff and community members will have to come out in droves to surpass that record.
Among the songs you can expect to hear are Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” Wet Leg’s “Chaise Lounge,” Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun” and Tears for Fears’ “Head Over Heels.”
The event starts at 7 p.m., but organizers encourage participants to arrive by 6:30 to register and secure a good seat.
The show is part of Hoboken’s Concerts in the Park series. Visit hobokennj.gov.
Those with questions can email firstname.lastname@example.org. There is no rain date. In case of inclement weather, check Guitar Bar’s social media accounts for updates.

Advance Review Of Armor Hunters Harbinger Issue 3
This is a great capstone to this part of Generation Zero, Torque and Faith's portion of the overall Harbinger Saga. Also I disagree with anyone who says this mini-series is just meant to be a cash grab tie-in. We see great character development for the heroes, as well as real world type reactions to the Armor Hunters purge technology. In regards to character growth we see Cronus starting to be less of a stern leader. As for real world reactions we have a soldier disobeying orders to do what he feels is right. The only real problem I had with this issue's story is the Zygos Twins were more "funny creepy"versus "possibly psychotic creepy." Other than that, I feel this series may turn out to be even stronger than the regular Armor Hunters mini-series. Definitely recommended to those buying comics this week.

The capabilities of LOFAR can be increased dramatically by broadening the scope to a European level, thus creating a European Sensor Network.
The European Gèant network is already being used to connect existing radio telescopes in the EVN program. It would be a natural next step to create a Europe-wide sensor grid for astronomy by adding LOFAR stations to these sites. As a European Sensor Grid, LOFAR could provide essential ground-based information complementary to earth-observation satellites, and would thus form an important contribution to the European Global Monitoring for the Environment and Security (GMES) program.
Various European countries driving to become part of the LOFAR consortium. They have formed national Consortia that focuse and represent their interest in LOFAR. They are especially eager to install a LOFAR station in their home countries. At the moment, the following eight international LOFAR stations are being funded and constructed:
Apart from the countries mentioned above, the astronomical communities from Italy, Poland, and Austria strive to join an international LOFAR consortium that is being set-up currently.


How do I check that my motherboard is properly grounded? I am getting unwanted sounds in audio recorded via my USB audio interface, especially from sources connected to external devices with their own power cords (e.g. my bass amp), and I am trying to see whether some problem with grounding of the motherboard or other components is to blame. I have been trying to bridge various places on my case to ground with a voltmeter, but I can't find anywhere on the case that isn't painted, and in any case I'm not knowledgeable enough to know whether the case being grounded would automatically mean that the motherboard was grounded too. On the other hand I don't want to ignorantly poke my voltmeter in the wrong place and damage the computer. Can anyone tell me what I am supposed to do? Thanks in advance.

Necessary rigorous controls
With well-proven control units, measuring instruments, and a laboratory we are able to offer purity analyses for our components. From experience, we know that there is a huge need for purity analyses, control and precision in more sectors than just our own.
Purity measurement determines particulate content
High purity requirements for components reduce the risk of breakdowns, reduced efficiency and shortened service life. Our measurement is performed as part of a purity analysis to determine the particulate content of components (surface), oils, washing liquids or systems.
Analyses are often carried out on a test series of between three and five samples. The components are washed in different ways – flushing, shaking or in an ultrasonic cleaner – depending on what is most suitable for collecting particles. The particles are then counted or undergo gravimetric analysis and simplified characterisation of particles using an optical microscope.
Purity analysis – documenting for the future
The results of the purity analysis and measurement are then analysed. In the report, we present the approach, data on the particles content, ISO class, images of the largest particles and other particles of interest. If necessary, our analysts will comment on the purity analysis and recommend improvements.
Margins of error on precision components are minimal with tolerances down to thousandths of a millimetre. This requires complex equipment for reliable purity analyses.

Oliver Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Francis Coquelin have all signed new long-term contracts with Arsenal.
The Gunners made an official statement on Thursday Arsene Wenger that read that the trio have all agreed new long-term deals with the club.
Wenger said in the statement, “We are very pleased that three important members of our team have committed to us for the long term.”
“Francis has made tremendous technical strides over the past few years because
he’s so focused every day.”
?? ✍ ✍ ✍
We’ve got some good news for you… #WeAreTheArsenal pic.twitter.com/jNuJROg44u
— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) January 12, 2017
“Olivier has big experience in the game now and has become a more and more complete player since joining us.”
“Laurent is of course a key part of our squad and I believe one of the best defenders in the world today. So overall, this is great news for us.”
Giroud was Arsenal’s highest scorer last season with 24 goals in all competition and the Frenchman has scored 9 times till now this season.
Whereas, Koscielny and Coquelin have been regulars of the first-team – making 273 and 131 appearances for the club respectively.
While Arsenal have tied the three players down to new contracts, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil’s future is still in doubts.
The duo’s contract will expire next year and no new deal with either has
been agreed as of yet.

Prominently known as an Alpine town, Davos is a magnificent city located in the Rhaetian Alps. This secluded place is situated distant from others in the country along the river Landwasser. Davos is highly known for hosting the World Economic Forum(WEF), an annual meeting between the political and business elites. The city is split into two parts, the Dorf in the northeast and the Platz in the southwest. The regions can be traversed easily by foot, one to another. Host to a number of snow-based events, Davos also conducts the Spengler cup ice hockey competition by the local hockey team HC Davos. The city is one of the highest locations in the country with an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level.
This region has a seemingly great number of differences from the other parts of the country due to the settlements of Walser colonists in the past. The culture, dialect and customs are majorly similar to those of the German Walsers. It also has a historic prominence of being home to medicinal plants as mentioned by renowned doctors of the past. Davos attracts tourists round the year with the winter sports during the cold months and other adventurous activities during the summer months. Often visited during the hotter months when the temperatures are quite normal, winters here are a delight to watch too. The city is comparatively crowded when compared to its counterparts and offers a plethora of options during shopping. The local shops have a large number of local arts and artefacts.
This beautiful city was primarily under notice when the German expressionist painter Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner moved here on a de-addiction program. Davos is home to beautiful places like the Schatzalp, Rinerhorn, Lake Davos, Sertig valley and the Kirchner museum. The city is more than just another exquisite skiing experience with all the others it has to offer. Among the adventurous sports, a special activity, mountain bike riding is a major attraction. The venture around lake Landwasser and the Madrisa Island adventure park are sought after activities, especially during the summers. The speciality of this place lies in the variety of attractions it offers depending on the seasons of the year.
Best time to visit Davos
With all it has to present a tourist, Davos can be visited both in the summers and winters. The months between June and September are often considered the most appropriate to visit this city. Prior to this, during the winters of May, the climate falls dangerously low and also opens up numerous options for winter sports. Between July and September, the summer sports are often open with a booming number of adventure seekers. The mild temperatures during the beginning of summer offer for a bearable climate. When seen from the budget aspects, the hotels and spaces are less crowded during the off-season months in May and August-September. The prices are reduced greatly when compared to the mid-season. Booking the hotels and tickets prior would be a better choice given the chance of crowding. Plan your trip depending on your interests and budget to extract the maximum from your experience. Summer enthusiasts can look out for the July-September months specifically while those interested in a winter trip can choose May-June as their option. In either case, make your arrangements well in advance to get the best in your constraints.
