[June 12, 2019] Along Colorado’s front range of the Rocky Mountains, the old saying applies, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes”. If you’ve ever spent any time in Colorado, you know that the weather can turn on a dime. Near Advanced Precision Machining’s (APM’S) Colorado machine shop close to Denver, when the subject of weather comes up, that’s one of the first things you’ll hear. And while it’s a slight exaggeration, it’s not that far removed from the truth! Already earlier this spring, we’ve had our share of 70 degree days only to be followed 12 hours later by measurable snowfall. Thankfully, with the official arrival of summer just a few short weeks away, our tumultuous weather will be in the rearview mirror but that doesn’t mean our eyes won’t be on the skies.
As noted, we experience rain, snow, ice, wind, sun, and it’s nothing to see two or three of those extremes in one twenty-four-hour period. Colorado’s population is booming, and as a result of so many lives being affected, the weather in our picturesque state has our CNC milling and machining operation reflecting on how our local community, including APM, contributes to the science of understanding the weather. Although weather forecasters in Denver have a tough job and a notoriously poor track record, we want to use this forum to introduce you to a client with an integral role in scientific research and weather forecasting, one who relies on APM's precision machining capabilities.
The city of Boulder is only a stone’s throw away from our Longmont, Colorado CNC machining operation and is nationally renowned as a hub of atmospheric and meteorological research. Home to the University of Colorado, The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), The University Center for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), and large federal research labs under the direction of The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Boulder and many surrounding businesses in many ways contribute to the understanding of the strange forces of Mother Nature at work here and around the planet. Our very own CNC milling and machining client, Stratton Park Engineering Company (SPECinc), plays an integral role by specializing in the production of precision instrumentation used in atmospheric research. SPEC’s mission is to further our understanding of atmospheric processes and climate change, primarily through the development of innovative instrumentation, analysis, and publication of collected data, and they’ve been on the forefront of cloud particle probe development for the past three decades. Their impressive list of current and past customers include; NASA, NCAR, The U.S. Army and Navy, The National Science Foundation (NSF), and many more.
Gathering scientific data is an important and highly precise endeavor, and valuable not only to those of us challenged by Colorado’s quickly changing weather but to everyone around the world wanting to benefit from a better understanding of the weather and climate. At SPECinc, specialized instrumentation for data collection, oftentimes outfitted aboard aircraft, is designed by engineers who in turn hand off to Advanced Precision Machining for prototype production. Our coordinate measuring machines (CMM) then adhere to the strict tolerances demanded of the part to be manufactured. From there, our experienced machinists and CNC milling machines turn out an exact, precision machined part for the customer. No small feat to be sure! But in the larger picture, SPECinc and their go-to Colorado machine shop are both playing a supporting role in better understanding the forces of Mother Nature. Our team of CNC machinists is proud to fulfill SPEC’s need for CNC machine milling and machining work. Happy summer to all of you, and thank you for your continued interest and business!

I'll admit that I'm biased, as a magician who works closely with the land this article was of a special interest to me. The idea that what we as humans are doing to our environment effects our climate is hardly new. However, if this research pans out, a whole new way of looking at how we interact with our environment will be required. I believe that we have to recognise that we live with the earth not merely on it.
The idea of microclimates is not a new one, but as this article shows, it is one scientists are barely beginning to understand.


A complete guide for your visit to the most beautiful island in Mexico
There is great uncertainty about whether or not camping is allowed on Espiritu Santo Island, which is very close to La Paz, Baja California Sur. The natural beauties of this place are so many, that a simple 6-hour visit is not enough to know them all, so it is advisable to consider the option of camping at least one night on the island, I assure you that it is a unique experience in life.
In this article, I will share a complete guide for your visit, as well as information on how you can camp in this paradise
First, let me tell you that it is possible to camp on the Espiritu Santo Island, I have done it a couple of times and I totally recommend it. But how is this possible? Well, we have two options, one more expensive and simple than the other.
The first one, camping with a tour company that gives you everything you need to enjoy your stay and not suffer from the null existence of services on the island.
The second is to camp freely but with you bringing everything you need to survive and in the same way, make a visit with the least negative impact on its nature.
Before moving on, I will share the basic regulations of the island.
Because the island is a protected area, there are several rules that you must abide by, otherwise, you could be expelled from it, and the person or company that brought you, would have to pay a heavy fine, as well as the Temporary revocation of his permission to offer tourist services.
- Camp only in allowed areas.
- You can only make fires if you carry your own firewood, it is forbidden to take wood from the island. Once the fire is over, you should cover it completely with dirt or sand.
- Do not mistreat flora or fauna.
- Respect the established paths.
- Do not leave organic or inorganic garbage.
- And the one we all know, leave only your footsteps, take only memories and photos
If you are worried about which are the places allowed to camp, well, this topic is a bit confusing, the official information does not determine exact areas, it only indicates that camping is allowed only in allowed areas, which leaves us with the same doubt . The good news is that this should not be resolved by you, but by the tour company or the person who takes you.
Going to the Island with a tour company will facilitate the entire process, with them you will not have to worry about permits, notices, bring equipment, food, etc. Normally the tours include everything you need, but few of them offer camping service because it can be very expensive, so visits to the island are mostly, one-day
There are several options and different prices. Here are some companies that can offer you the service:
It offers lodging at the Glam Camp “Cecil”. A base camp in one of the inlets of the island.
Price: Unknown, but according to the people of La Paz, it is around $ 300 to $ 400 USD a night. You need to contact them to check exact price.
A little cheaper than Camp Cecil, Baja Camp offers all the necessary services
Price: $ 550 for two people
The following companies do not offer the camping option but speak to them, they might be able to help find a solution
. Fun Cabo
6-hour tour price: Adults $ 120 dollars children $ 60
6-hour tour price: Adults $ 70 dollars children $ 35 dollars.
6-hour tour price: Adults $ 75 dollars children $ 35 dollars
Now, let’s talk about the cheapest option, camping on your own.
As we all know, cheap can be expensive, but in this case, if you comply with all the rules and find someone to take you to the island, you can keep the cost much lower than the aforementioned established campsites. But remember, you must bring all the necessary equipment to survive; food, water, tent, etc.
You must give notice to Semarnat about your camping intentions, for this, service providers can help you.
Whoever takes you, he or they must meet the necessary requirements, such as; Know the regulations for tourism service providers, pay a fee to visit the protected area, have insurance for third parties in case of an accident, etc.
Attached I leave a copy of the official document that speaks more thoroughly of all these requirements, I have marked in yellow the section that interests us, which is on SECTION III. Although it is in Spanish, you can use a translator like Google
Finally, I will tell you that the option of camping on your own is difficult to achieve but not impossible, I recommend you ask with local fishermen, since many of them have left the hook to offer tourist services, and are usually cheaper than the most famous tour companies in the city. Talk to them, make friends and expose your intention to camp on the island. You will surely find more than one former fisherman willing to take you.

THOUGHTS ON A RAINY DAY
The heater's on. The pale white washed room is lit up. Outside, the light drizzle that's been falling has stopped. I can see the dark mountain outlined against the pale gray sky, the vehicles at the parking lot and a few people moving in and out from one section of the office to the other. I am sitting inside my cubicle and wondering... why do i feel trapped? I ponder. I would rather be on the road, in a car watching the rain cleanse the earth and all that it hold.
... in a car winding up and down the road in the valley, past villages and towns, through the huge forests that loom over the top and give you a feeling that the trees are closing in around you. I would love to be on the moutain tops ... watching the moutain ranges on the otherside...feel and see it all.
A short ride to an office near the dzong stirred this feeling in me. I want to be on the move, see faces, places, see everything and in the process learn, absorb and understand all there is to know.
The leaves on the willow trees hung lower than usual from the weight of the waterdroplets but the beauty of the tree was exposed because the rain had washed away the dirt. The flowers too.
Ah... and I love the smell of the earth after rain.

Well, I´m here in Sri Lanka for one week now and I think I´ve put myself in well. Now it´s time to start with my Blog. It would probably be the best, if I start at the beginning:
After I was brought to the main station in Karlsruhe by Samuel Degen and Susanne Konrad-Nagler, I went to Frankfurt Airport by train and flew then from there stop in Doha to Colombo.
At the airport of Colombo Reverent Vipassi was already waiting for me, together with Nadun and Gayan, two of the boys of the centre. After I had a short breakfast in a small temple in Colombo, where I was offered some unknown regional fruits, we drove with a van on the highway to Matara. After we arrived at my new place, I could recover a little bit from my journey.
I was picked up with the TukTuk at the next morning, to visit the temple and the “Karlsruher Children Center” for the first time. I was lucky, because it was a Saturday, so it was class for the students. As I arrived at the centre, the students formed a corridor with flags in their hands to show me the way up to the temple. Then I visited the temple together with Reverent Vipassi and Mr. Pathirana, one of the two English teachers of the centre. After the visit of the temple, Reverent Vipassi held a speech, in which he presented me to the students. The speech was crossed by some short contributions like dances of the students. To my astonishment a little boy presented a poetry in German.
Then the students went back to their classes. And I was shown around through the classrooms to get some first impressions on the children.
The next three days I was picked up by the TukTuk. Because no students are in the centre during the week, I had not much to do, so I had time to visit another temple at the sea, to go swimming at the beach and to get my first experiences in cricket with the boys. Furthermore, I was invited for a little football game at the sports ground next to my place in the evening.
On Wednesday I had some free time in the morning. I used the time to prepare for my first lesson at the next weekend.
At the afternoon, I was picked up by the TukTuk, because that day a trip was planned. With a bus, we drove to Colombo to the “International Book Fair.”
At Thursday, I had free time, time to prepare the lesson again.
Let´s see what the next days will bring

Wyndham Arcade Cardiff
The arcade was made in the year 1887 by Cardiff Arcade Company. That had prior made the Royal Arcade. It runs from St. Mary Street to the Mills Lane and is open inside of Cardiff’s various arcades. In most cases beside the three-party frontages. The eastern passageway is at a slanted edge to Mill Lane.
The arcade initially had 35 shops, with basements and private lounge rooms.
After stolen 200 pounds worth of stock from his shop in surgery, jewel expert GA Philips was killed in an 11-inch accident for just five months. The guilty team, Frederick George Coles, was convicted in 1888 for five years of disciplinary subjection (hard work).
The oldest retailer in the arcade was Philip Jones, who was born in Church Street, Old Street. As a young man, he published his Dean on his back to sell it to the remote network. In 1905, he worked at the age of 72 just days before he kicked the bucket.
Name of the name Winham – Queen family, named after the district’s extensive area.
In the year 1923 Glamorgan Wanderers, a Rugby Football Club started the Wanderers Club here in Wyndham Arcade. This club was made in the year 1893 and had a few home grounds in progression. In different regions of Cardiff. Worldwide, rugby supporters went to the club and drowned in the water and Cardiff was involved in the convenience of worldwide matches. The club shut in 1969.
The Arcade Holds Unique Stores and Eaters Which Include;
The Bear Shop
Blast and Olufsen
The Must Visit Arcade of Cardiff
One of the celebrated Victorian Arcadians in Cardiff can be opened in more Bistro and food – the “Bistro Quarter” proposed enhancement of the city. Mile Lane and Winnam Arcade in some parts of Saint Mary Street, currently residing in different shops, bistros and food.
The proprietary application of an event submitted for the collection of Carzone Real Estate Cardiff collection has created “the basic part of the area called the Bistro quarter” near the second recorded archive Mill Lane.
It includes that: “This arcade is one of the Victorian diamonds which structure a great part of the staying memorable retail region of Cardiff. This difference in the use proposal will not hit the arcade’s engineering appeal, but this proposal will improve the proposal and these lines are increasing. “
The report adds that for the arcades to “endure a cutting edge retailing condition” that “inconspicuous auxiliary changes” are required. Some portion of the application could see physical modifications to the recorded structure, including the incomplete expulsion of gathering dividers. It says that by expelling the dividers, it could entice bigger national business.


Growing up, one of the first things one learned about India was that it’s a country that has a vast diversity of culture and heritage. One was enthralled by the idea of so many states, each having their own different language (and in some cases more than one language!), culture, traditions, cuisine, dance-forms, music, festivals etc. India then appeared like a kaleidoscope, a shimmering fusion of colour and gaiety.
Ah! The naivety of childhood
What a severe blow it is to that puerile romanticism, when later on one learns about the rough and sharp edges of this kaleidoscope, the hardships of everyday life faced by a significant population of this vast nation.
This cultural melting pot of a country has been witnessing considerable movement of people amongst its various parts. Sometimes seeking better opportunities for education while sometimes in search of better livelihood, reasons are a plenty that uproot people from their home. Many then flock to the urban centres in search of a new beginning.
For a large number of them though, what awaits is a life in slums. Lacking education and vocational skills, their options are often limited to manual labour or working as waste-pickers for the sake of a meagre livelihood.
Despite the grind of poverty they get caught up in, somewhere in a cherished corner of their hearts, survives the memory of their homeland, their culture, and their traditions. So, when we at Gulmeher, embarked upon the task of designing a calendar for the coming year, we decided that it should give expression to this memory, to the diverse backgrounds and cultures of the women who work at Glmeher.
Each page of Gulmeher’s 2018 ‘Amazing India’ calendar thus, carries landmarks and cultural mementos from various states of our country. Each page, tells a story, a story of painstaking detail that goes into creating art with discarded flowers. While each page shows where these women come from, the story that remains untold is of
their journey and their struggles, and ultimately how they rose above their circumstances, transforming themselves into trained artisans, skilful enough to showcase the specialties of the different regions they come from through creative means.
Discover new states every month! Check out the Gulmeher Amazing India calendar 2018.


Basic Landscape Ecology is intended to be a starting point for the study of landscape ecology. The goal is to provide a contemporary synthesis of basic landscape ecological concepts with an applied interpretation. The discipline of ecology deals with living organisms in the context of their natural environment. Landscape ecology provides a spatial and temporal context to this focus. Furthermore, landscape ecology de facto includes the presence, actions, and activities of humans. Landscapes represent the geographic unit of domestication and, therefore, provide the template for investigations in natural resource management, conservation ecology, and urbanization. The text is divided into two sections. The first section, which consists of six chapters, is intended to provide a uniform background for students from various academic disciplines. The second section, which consists of four chapters, is intended to provide an examination of the substance of contemporary landscape ecology. All figures and tables are in full color. The individual chapters have been summarized in PowerPoint™ presentations with accompanying discussion/study questions. Each of these media (images and tables, PowerPoint™ presentations, and discussion/study questions) is provided with the text as a CD. The book provides a fresh view of the subject of landscape ecology, which has not been summarized and interpreted in more than a decade.
300 pp., 153 color plates.
* CD includes figures and tables, PowerPoint presentations, and study questions.


As a cereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world’s human population, especially in Asia. It is the grain with the second-highest worldwide production, after maize (corn).
Rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans.
Rice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labour costs and high rainfall, as it is labour-intensive to cultivate and requires ample water. However, rice can be grown practically anywhere, even on a steep hill or mountain area with the use of water-controlling terrace systems.
The seeds of the rice plant are first milled using a rice huller to remove the chaff (the outer husks of the grain). At this point in the process, the product is called BROWN RICE. The milling may be continued, removing the bran, the rest of the husk and the germ, thereby creating WHITE RICE. White rice, which keeps longer, lacks some important nutrients.
The many varieties of rice, for many purposes, are distinguished as long-, medium-, and short-grain rices. The grains of fragrant long-grain rice tend to remain intact after cooking; medium-grain rice becomes more sticky. Medium-grain rice is used for sweet dishes, for risotto in Italy and many rice dishes, such as arròs negre, in Spain. A stickier medium-grain rice is used for sushi; the stickiness lets the rice be moulded into a solid shape. Short-grain rice is often used for rice pudding.
Rice production in India
Rice production in India is an important part of the national economy.
India is one of the world’s largest producers of white rice and brown rice, accounting for 20% of all world rice production. Rice is India’s pre-eminent crop, and is the staple food of the people of the eastern and southern parts of the country. Thanks to its rich soil, India is known for producing some of the finest varieties of rice. Basmati rice is globally renowned for its unique smell and delicate flavour and Indian basmati rice is highly demanded in the worldwide market.
Following are the main varieties of rice produced in India:
Medium Grain Rice
Short Grain Rice
Rice Production in Indonesia
Although Indonesia is the third-largest country regarding global rice production, it is still a rice importer. This situation is caused by farmers’ use of non-optimal production techniques in combination with large per capita rice consumption. In fact, Indonesia has the largest per capita rice consumption in the world with Indonesians consuming around 140 kilogram of rice per person per year.
Rice production in Pakistan
Rice production in Pakistan holds an extremely important position in agriculture and national economy. Pakistan is the world’s fourth largest producer of rice, after China, India and Indonesia. This country is responsible for supplying 30% of the world’s paddy rice output. Among the most famous varieties grown in Pakistan include the Basmati, known for its flavor and quality.

Rice production in Thailand
Rice Production in Thailand represents a significant portion of the Thai economy and labour force.
Thailand has a strong tradition of rice production. It has the fifth-largest amount of land under rice cultivation in the world and is the world’s second largest exporter of rice. The most produced strain of rice in Thailand is Jasmine rice, which is a higher quality type of rice. However, we can find also :
White Glutinous rice
Black Glutinous rice
Red Cargo rice
Rice production in Vietnam
Vietnam is one of world’s richest agricultural regions and is the second-largest (after Thailand) exporter worldwide and the world’s seventh-largest consumer of rice. Rice is a staple of the national diet and is seen as a “gift from God”. It is especially cultivated in the Mekong and Red River deltas.
There are many types of rice in Vietnam. However the most popular varieties are the usual white rice (eaten during every meal), jasmine rice (moist rice commonly used by the upper class), sweet or sticky rice known as xôi or glutinous rice (steamed rice sweetened and mixed with condiments eaten for breakfast or as a dessert dish) and broken rice (converted to Com Tam by steaming (common in restaurants); each has its own uniqueness.


Is it good to live in a big city?
City dwellers are always complaining about traffic jam, high prices, security conditions and something like that. But the advantages people gains in living in a big city are much greater than problems it entails. Actually, it's indeed a good thing to live in a big city.
A big city equipped with modern infrastructure makes people's life convenient and efficient. High-developed underground lines, first-class international airports and all-covered post and telecommunication net make it possible to deliver persons and goods at the highest speed and cost least time. Besides, hospitals and schools in a big city are much better than those in the country. People live in a big city enjoy good medical and educational conditions. In a word, a big city involves most advanced achievements we have gained and these achievements are the most powerful tools to improve people's life.
Furthermore, it is universally acknowledged that people are more likely to succeed in a big city, or it can be stated as there are more opportunities in metropolitan areas for people to achieve something.
One may argue that city life brings too much polluted air and occupies too much free time. There's no doubt that living in a big city has its merits as well as disadvantages. But when the advantages and disadvantages are weighed, the conclusion is quite striking: it's good to live in a big city
Being in a city
Many people like to live in city.But there are still some people.They like to stay in the country.Actually,there are lot of benefit to be in a city.You can find your job easily and it is convinient for you to go shopping.In a city,traffic is pretty great.There are alot of parks and hotel for you to have a rest.But in a city,you always have to spend a lot money and there are many peole in the city which will make the city crowd.There is bad air in the city and the enviorment is pollutive.Living where is depend on your condition.
Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city. People in the city can seefilms, visit exhibitions and watch games every day if they like to. Furthermore, if they want to Become scholars, scientists or artists, they can find what they need in the city: libraries, colleges, museums, and so on. The last But not the least important thing I'd like to say is that they can get to know as many people as they want in the city.
But some other people are attracted by the beauty of the country. First, if one is in the country he feels he is closer to nature: small streams, high mountains, fresh air, green grass and so on, all this makes people happy and stirs up the love of life. Second, in the country, people seem to have more freedom. They can sing high in the field, ride horses along a brook and do some interesting farm work.
Of course, both the city and the country have their disadvantnges. As for the city, there is pollution, noise and heavy traffic. And as far as the country is concerned, its inefficient transportation, delayed news always make people feel isolated.
Compared with cities, the country is relatively backward, but nothing can be com pared with the clean atmosphere and the gentle pace of living. Living in the country is very good for your health. With the deveJopment of economy, it is a trend that people will migrate from the city to the country.
Life in the city is very different from life in the villages and on the farms. People in large cities are much more careful to respect the privacy of the individual. Sometimes this feeling seems to be one of indifference, but it is a convention of city life to curb one's curiosity about the personal affairs of strangers. Villagers and farmers are likely to show a great deal of interest in all their neighbors. Opportunities for bright young people are greater in the cities and there has been a steady stream of hopeful jobseekers from the villages and farms to the large metropolitan areas.。
The Advantages of City Life
There are undeniable advantages to both life in a big city and in a small town. The former offers more excitement and convenience while the latter offers a cleaner, quieter and often friendlier place to live. However, despite the advantages of small town life, I prefer to live in a big city for several reasons.
First, life in the city is more convenient. More goods are available and stores are open later. Also, there is better public transportation so it is easier to get around. I can find almost anything I want easily in the city. Second, there are more ways to spend leisure time in the city. There are many places I can go to meet friends and have fun. Finally, and most importantly, the city offers more educational and career opportunities. The city often attracts the best teachers and the best companies. There is also a wider choice of jobs so it is easier to move up the career ladder.
For all of these reasons, I prefer to live in the city. Although I sometimes miss the fresh air and quiet life of a small town, nothing can make up for the opportunities that the city offers me. If one wants to be successful, I believe the best place to live is the city.
the former前者the latter后者
friendly adj.亲切的goods n.(pl.)商品
As a coin has two sides,living in the city has both advantages and disadvantages.To beagin with,it is convinient to live in the city for there are many stores ,restaurants ,theaters ,gyms etc.Nextly, the transfortation in the city is much more developed .Regardless of the bus and the texi, we can choose subways ,which is in fast speed and cheap.After that ,there children can get better education and acquire more resources.However,not everyone can afford the high expense there and the large population leads to the heavy traffic and more pollutions.Therefore ,different people hold on different views about whether is proper to live in the city .。

More than 50,000 young French people cross the border to take advantage of high Swiss wages while paying more moderate rents in France. Testimonials.
They go back and forth every day, without looking back. Sophie lives in Haute-Savoie in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois but works in Geneva. To travel the 8 kilometers between the two cities, it sometimes takes an hour or two because of traffic jams. Every morning, an army of French bumpers rushes to Switzerland. Every year, more and more people are building their professional lives across the border. At the end of 2012, half of the 264,000 foreigners working in Switzerland are French. Among them, 50,200 young people from 20 to 29 years old.
Daily trips for dream pay
From the balcony of their apartment in Saint-Julien, Sophie and her companion have a view of Geneva. Working just a few miles apart, their wages are a big difference. If both are osteopaths, Sophie earns 5500 net euros per month when her friend only touches 2000 in France. This situation is described as “completely incoherent, hallucinating”. Bored, his friend wanted to make his place in the sun too: he was hired in Switzerland and starts next week.
In Saint-Julien, a third of the inhabitants are exported to the country of chocolate and find it “strange to work in France”. Good pay on one side and cheaper rents on the other, the purchasing power is only better. Young people have seen their parents work for years and are following the movement once on the job market. “Once the diploma is in your pocket, you look directly in Switzerland,” says Matthias. Every day, this planning engineer takes his car and two trains to get to work. A largely profitable route: at the post and equivalent hours, it pockets 1500 euros more than in France. So he has already bought his own apartment in France at only 26 years old. “I repay 850 euros a month,” he explains. With a French salary, I could never have owned so quickly.
Health insurance, “border special”, only cost them a hundred euros per month. For the time being. In 2014, the plan could change and health coverage to 8% of their golden income, which would amount to 440 euros monthly for Sophie. The young woman has already studied the problem. “At worst, we are domiciled in Switzerland. The shot of the fictional installation is very simple. Quiet.
“The Swiss do not want to get their hands dirty”
But on the other side of the border, the French are not popular. Although it is only 5%, the unemployment rate in Geneva is the worst in the country. “The Swiss think that they are stealing their jobs and clogging their roads,” says Matthias. We are their immigrants: those responsible for all the evils.
No scruples for these young French people who consider themselves to be cheap and voluntary labor. “The French do the jobs that the Swiss do not want to do as secretary or cashier,” continues Matthias. A few years ago, Sophie was a waitress in a Swiss bar, paid 17 euros per hour. almost twice the French hourly Smic. “Here it is very poorly paid! attests yet, Sophie. Nobody would want to do it. His current employer came to recruit his school in Lyon. He wanted young people ready to work evenings and weekends, not like young Swiss “too attached to their comfort”.
Same story with Frédéric*, a former employee of the Geneva Golf Club, who denounces even a stratification of posts by nationality. “The locals do not want to get their hands dirty. They occupy the top positions, the French have intermediaries: waiters, bartenders, hotel masters. And in the shadows, the plunge or the household, it is the Portuguese, the Spaniards. On the construction sites, Albanians and Kosovars “. We must keep up the pressure: in Switzerland, an “incompatibility of mood” with the boss can be worth a dismissal. But all just such a salary, which allows them to build then dream villas in their native country. “It’s simple: everyone who wants to be a proprietor goes to Switzerland,” Frédéric concludes.
Boomerang effect: the Swiss settle in France
Opportunism works in both directions. The French enjoy opulent salaries and the Swiss of France at bargain prices. “In the car parks of supermarkets and shopping centers, there are plenty of Swiss matriculation plates,” said Matthias. In addition to food shopping, some come to settle in France, where rents are 30 to 40% lower than Geneva according to Matthias.
As a result, real estate pressure is also crossing the border. Saint-Julien may be a dormitory town without a single bar, Sophie and her boyfriend pay 850 euros per month for 35 square meters. They do not plan to move to Switzerland, where “there is nothing below 1600 euros”. She just wonders “how to do the young French people who live and work here”. Frederic could answer him easily: he still lives with his parents.

How Long is a Day on Venus
Venus is often referred to as «Earth’s Sister» planet, because of the various things they have in common. canada goose outlet store For example, both planets reside within our Sun’s habitable canada goose outlet online uk zone (aka. «Goldilocks Zone»). In addition, Earth and Venus are also terrestrial planets, meaning they are primarily composed of metals and silicate rock that are differentiated between a metallic core and a silicate mantle and crust.
Beyond that, Earth and Venus could not be more different. one day). In Earth’s case, this process takes a full 24 hours. But in Venus’ case, its slow rotation and orbit mean that a single day lasts as long as 116.75 Earth days.
Sidereal Vs. Solar:
Naturally, some clarification is necessary when addressing canada goose store the question of how long a day lasts. For starters, one must distinguish between a sidereal day and a solar day. A sidereal day is the time it takes for a planet to complete a single rotation on its axis. On the other hand, a solar day is the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same place in the sky.
On Earth, a sidereal days last 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds, whereas a solar day lasts exactly 24 hours. In https://www.zoetermeerinbeeld.nl Venus’ case, it takes a whopping 243.025 days for the planet to rotate once on its axis which is the longest rotational period of any planet in the canada goose outlet store uk Solar System. In addition, it rotates in the opposite the direction in which it orbits around the Sun (which it takes about 224.7 Earth days to complete).
In other words, Venus has a retrograde rotation, which means that if you could view the planet from above its northern polar region, it would be seen to rotate in a clockwise direction on its axis, and in a counter clockwise direction around the Sun. It also means that if you could stand on the surface of Venus, the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east.
From all this, one might assume that a single day lasts longer than a year on Venus. But again, the distinction between a sidereal and solar days means that this cheap canada goose is not true. Combined with its orbital period, the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same point in the sky works out to 116.75 Earth days, which is little more canada goose uk shop than a half a Venusian (or Cytherian) year.
At a closest average distance of 41 million km (25,476,219 mi), Venus is the closest planet to Earth. Credit: NASA/JPL/MagellanAxial Tilt and Temperatures:
Unlike Earth or Mars, Venus has a very low axial tilt just 2.64 relative to the ecliptic. In fact, it’s axial tilt is the one of the lowest in the Solar System, second only to canada goose outlet Mercury (which has an extremely low tilt of 0.03). Combined with its slow rotational period and dense atmosphere, this results in the planet being effectively isothermal, with virtually no variation in its surface temperature.
In other words, the planet experiences a mean temperature of 735 K (462 C; 863.6 F) the hottest in the Solar System with very little change between day and night, or between the equator and the poles. 92 times that of Earth’s at sea level. If it were possible for a human being to stand on the surface of Venus, they would be crushed by the atmosphere.
The composition of the atmosphere is extremely toxic, consisting primarily of carbon dioxide (96.5%) with small amounts of nitrogen (3.5%) and traces of other gases most notably sulfur dioxide. Combined with its density, the composition generates the strongest greenhouse effect of any planet in the Solar System.
According to multiple Earth based surveys and space Canada Goose Outlet missions to Venus, scientists have learned that its weather is rather extreme. The entire atmosphere of the planet circulates around canada goose outlet black friday quickly, with winds reaching speeds of up to 85m/s (300km/h; 186.4 mph) at the cloud tops, which circle the planet every four to five Earth days.
At Canada Goose online this speed, these winds move up to 60 canada goose outlet in usa times the speed of the planet’s rotation, whereas Earth’s cheap Canada Goose fastest winds are only 10 20% canada goose outlet jackets of the planet’s rotational speed. Spacecraft equipped with ultraviolet imaging instruments are able to observe the cloud motion around Venus, and see how it moves at different layers of the atmosphere. The winds blow in a retrograde direction, and are the fastest near the poles.
Closer to the equator, the wind speeds die down to almost nothing. Because of the thick atmosphere, the winds move much slower as you get close to the surface of Venus, reaching speeds of about 5 km/h. Because it’s so cheap canada goose thick, though, the atmosphere is more like canada goose coats water currents than blowing wind at the surface, so it is still capable of blowing dust around and moving small rocks across the surface of Venus.
Venus flybys have also indicated that its dense clouds are capable of producing lightning, much like canada goose outlet uk the clouds on Earth. Their intermittent appearance indicates a pattern associated with weather activity, and the lightning rate is at least half of that on Earth.
Artist concept of the surface of Venus, showing its dense clouds and lightning storms. Credit: NASAYes, Venus is a planet of extremes. Extreme heat, extreme weather, and extremely long days! In short, there’s a reason why nobody lives there. But who knows? Given the right kind of technology, and perhaps even some dedicated terraforming efforts, canada goose uk black friday people could one day being watching the Sun rising in the west and setting in the east.
We have written many interesting articles about Venus here at Universe Today. Here’s Venus compared to Earth, How Fast Does Venus Rotate?, What is the Weather Like on canada goose outlet parka Venus?, How Long is a Year on Venus?, What is the Average Surface Temperature on Venus?, and How Long is a Day on the Other Planets of the Solar System?

Astronomy Cast also has a good episodes on the subject. Here’s Episode 50: Venus
Thank you for sharing these valuable resources. I wasn’t acquainted with Landis’s work, but to have floating cities sounds like science fiction. Good SF, like something from Bioshock Infinite, but still, I think that we need to come a long way until this could be done. The cons are quite massive. The lack of water and the process of creating it is challenging. I know that only Earth is inside the Goldilocks Zone, but Mars seems closer than Venus, and even though Mars has its cons, water was found there. The acid rain on Venus doesn’t help either.
However, I think canada goose clearance sale canada goose outlet uk sale that it’s great that there are people like Mr. Landis and others who focus on the possibility of creating habitats on difficult planets like Venus. I hope these theories will be helpful when we’ll have the proper technology and funding, because having floating cities on Venus sounds very interesting.
