Over the centuries, Texel has developed from an island mostly dependent on fishing and agriculture to an island with a flourishing island economy, where tourism is the main industry.
The first inhabitants were not yet able to protect themselves from the sea through dikes. Consequently, they settled on boulder clay deposits, the higher parts of the landscape. Much later, the villages of Den Burg, De Waal, Den Hoorn, Oosterend and De Westen originated in these areas.
In the 13th century, De Westen was the most important village on Texel. It was connected to the North Sea via a channel. When this silted up in the 14th century, the villagers moved to Den Hoorn and De Koog. The Torenhuis in Westerweg is the only remaining house in this village. The lower parts of Texel still flooded regularly.
To keep the sea at a distance, dams were built between the higher areas, which resulted in the creation of both a weir and a connection between these areas. Areas of land which only flooded during high water were diked in. Back then, these small polders were called 'cooghen'.
The very lowest of the small dikes of these first land reclamations disappeared in time and sometimes made way for roads, Oude Dijkje in De Koog, for instance. In places where the sea would breach the small dikes, so-called walen were created. These deep pools, such as Wegeswaal near Waalenburgerdijkje, are remnants of old dike breaches.
In the early 17th century, dune formation was actively encouraged through the introduction of reed screens and the planting of marram grass. As a result, the separate little island of Eierland eventually became connected to Texel. Today, the sea continues to be a threat to the Texel dunes. Violent northwest storms regularly cause dozens, sometimes hundreds, of metres of dune to disappear into the sea. The dunes are protected through the planting of marram grass, beach nourishment and longitudinal dikes.
During beach nourishment works, sand is pumped from the sea and deposited onto the beach. Since the seventies, Rijkswaterstaat has been carrying out beach nourishment works to avoid coastal erosion.

Q: Reading Numbers in a Text file line by line and running them through a small comparison script using python csv I am new to python and I am trying to import a txt file, read it line by line ( each line only contains numbers) and the file looks like:
350
490
700
10
59
2000

So far I have :
import sys
import csv

with open("file.txt") as f:

        c = csv.reader(f, delimiter=' ', skipinitialspace=True)
        line = []
        for line in c:
                print(line)
        if line > 300 and line < 500:
                print "a"
        elif line > 501 and line < 701:
                print "b"
        else:
                print "c"

Although this reads every line but it fails to execute the if statement and only prints "c" . I am wondering how I can fix this issue. I really appreciate the help.

A: When you read data from a file, the values are strings. If you want to treat them as numbers, you need to convert the data first. For example:
n = int(line)

if n > 300 and n < 500:
    # etc...

In addition, the structure of your program is a bit unusual, because the conditional logic is completely outside the line-by-line processing. A more typical approach would be to iterate over the data yielded by the CSV reader, performing conditional logic on each line. Also note that the reader returns a list of values (or fields, as they are often called when dealing with CSV files). Here's an illustration:
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter=' ', skipinitialspace=True)
for fields in reader:
    val = int(fields[0])
    if val > 300 and val < 500:
        print 'a'
    elif val > 501 and val < 701:
        print 'b'
    else:
        print 'c'

A: you have to convert text from file into integers.

A: Your code has an indenting issue, also as has been mentioned, the csv module treats all entries in your file as strings, as such you first need to convert each entry into an integer using the int command as follows:
import sys
import csv

with open("file.txt") as f:
    c = csv.reader(f, delimiter=' ', skipinitialspace=True)

    for line in c:
        print line
        value = int(line[0])  # convert the first column to an integer (in case there are more than 1)

        if 300 < value < 500:
            print "a"
        elif 501 < value < 701:
            print "b"
        else:
            print "c"

For your example, this would then display the following output:
['350']
a
['490']
a
['700']
b
['10']
c
['59']
c
['2000']
c

Note, your code would print c for a value of 500. If you wanted to include it with a you would need to use <= 500.

Sandy was in our favorite vacation spot to participate in the ADO's Area 4-3 National Cricket qualifier on Friday the 13th. It's the first time the area has hosted the event which was tied in with the Bob Daily Open. She was on top of her game in the sparsely populated event and won every leg she played earning her 7th straight trip to the ADO National Championship Cricket playoffs to be held in Las Vegas in January. The toughest challenge came from Kryptonite Girls teammate Candi Ellis who finished as the alternate for the trip.

Play Esqueleto Explosivo
Have you ever played a game with exploding skulls? The wait is over. Join the celebration and enjoy Esqueleto Explosivo. There are 15 skulls in this that form the 5x3 grid and it is set right in the middle of the town square lit with candles and photos of deceased loved ones.
Welcome to Mexico during the "Day of the Dead" where they celebrate and remember their dead relatives, who they believe will come back and visit them. Skulls used to be kept and displayed during these rituals to signify death and rebirth.
The highest-paying symbol in the game is the pink skull complete with a rose between his teeth which pays 2.5x your total spin amount. The green skull is worth 1.4x your total stake and the blue, orange and turquoise skulls pay 1.2x, 0.9x and 0.7x respectively.
Be amazed as you see five guitar-playing skeletons as the main characters in. They happily break into a song every time you make a win by landing 3 or more matching symbols on any of the 17 paylines. This is when the dropping feature kicks in to allow more skulls to appear which will payout 0.20x and 2.50x the stake. Bet size can be set between 0.10 and 100.
Esqueleto Explosivo is a multiplier slot game, which means the more consecutive wins, the bigger the multiplier. This increases from 1x up to 32x the value. There are also some happy Mexican-style tunes that change with each explosion
As an added bonus feature, there is the exclusive Explosivo wild symbol, which comes in random and blows up the closest eight symbols to it. to boost your wins.
Esqueleto Explosivo is available on Genting Casino and is playable on any mobile device. With an RTP of 96% and a low volatility, feel free to enjoy the celebration, but set your limits and game responsibly!

40 kids play 80 chess games. Prove that there are at least $8$ kids that did not play with each other.

In graph terms: if there are $40$ vertices and $80$ edges, prove that there is an independent set of size $\geq 8$.
I was shown a probabilistic solution and forgot it: they proved that there is an anti-clique of size at least $\displaystyle\sum_{v \in V} \frac{1}{\deg(v)+1}$, and then the result follows from the GM-HM inequality by $\displaystyle\frac{|V|}{\sum\limits_{v \in V} \frac{1}{\deg(v)+1}}\leq \frac{\sum\limits_{v \in V} ({\deg(v)+1})}{|V|} $, from which by plugging in the values we get $\displaystyle\frac{40}{\sum\limits_{v \in V} \frac{1}{\deg(v)+1}}\leq \frac{  2|E|+40 }{40} \implies \sum_{v \in V} \frac{1}{\deg(v)+1}\geq \frac{40^2}{160+40}=8. \; \square$
The $\dfrac{1}{\deg(v)+1}$ looks like the probability of choosing the node itself from among it and its neighbors, but a process of choosing probabilistically a neighbor for each vertex seems inconsistent (due to symmetry) and irrelevant.

A: Let's form an independent set of vertices by doing the following. First, randomly permute the vertices $v_1,\ldots,v_n$. Initialize $S = \{\}$. Then for $k = 1,2,3,\ldots,n$ if $v_k$ is still in the graph, add it to $S$ and delete $v_i$ and each of its neighbors from the graph. Then, $S$ is an independent set.
Define a random variable $I_v = 1$ if $v \in S$ and $I_v = 0$ if $v_k \not\in S$. Then, $|S| = \displaystyle\sum_{v \in V}I_v$.
For each vertex, $v \in S$ if $v$ has a lower index than each of its neighbors. If $v$ has $d(v)$ neighbors, then the probability of $v$ having the lowest index among itself and its neighbors is $\dfrac{1}{d(v)+1}$.
Hence, $\mathbb{E}[I_v] = \Pr[I_v = 1] = \dfrac{1}{d(v)+1}$. So, by linearity $\mathbb{E}[|S|] = \displaystyle\sum_{v \in V}\dfrac{1}{d(v)+1}$.
Therefore there must be at least one permutation of the vertices for which the above algorithm gives us an independent set of size at least $\displaystyle\sum_{v \in V}\dfrac{1}{d(v)+1}$.

Q: Can I change values of private fields during debug? For the debugging purposes I need to change the value of the private field.
I use Eclipse for debugging, and I am able to change variables during debug process, but I have no access to the private variables. I tried to use a reflection in a change value view to set the field as "accessible" manually, but it looks like it doesn`t work.
Do you know any IDE/framework/plugin or something that could allow it?

A: In Eclipse you can go to variable view which lists all your variables.
Here you can right click on the member variable which you want to change and select change value option, which pops up a separate window to change the value. which will take into effect from then onwards.

A: Yuo can use reflection to set field value (Spring provides convenient ReflectionTestUtil):
  Class<?> c = foo.getClass();
  Field field = c.getDeclaredField("valid");
  field.setAccessible(true);
  field.set(valid, Boolean.FALSE);

Also you shouldn't have any problems with setting private field's value in the debugger, it doesn't actually matter if it is private or not.

A: Just tested with eclipse - no problem. The test application was like this:
 public class DebugTest {
   private static int i = 5;
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     System.out.println(args.length);  // dummy line to set a breakpoint
     System.out.println(i);
   }
 }

I set a BP on that dummy line, started the debugger, then I changed the value for i in the Variables view from five to six, continued and the output was 6.
There's just one thing: maybe, you can't see the private variables in your Variables view. Open the views menu (the button with the triangle), select Java and switch on the missing items. Static constants was disabled by default - maybe that's your problem.

A: As your are delcaring varible as private and you want to modifiy the value at debug level, this will not happen with any of the IDE/plugins. Every IDE will follow the basic principals.


An Eli Lilly and Co. paper was made public Monday that shows the drug maker knew that the patients on its antidepressant Prozac were far more likely to attempt suicide and show hostility than were patients on other antidepressants.
Eli Lilly has hid this information for 15 years.
The document was provided to CNN by the office of Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-New York.
>"The case demonstrates the need for Congress to mandate the complete disclosure of all clinical studies for FDA-approved drugs so that patients and their doctors, not the drug companies, decide whether the benefits of taking a certain medicine outweigh the risks," he said.
In the paper, titled "Activation and sedation in fluoxetine clinical trials," the authors said that the drug may produce nervousness, anxiety, agitation or insomnia in 19 percent of patients, and sedation in 13 percent of patients.
A spokesman for Lilly said his company was expecting the release of the purported internal documents, but that he could not comment on them until he had seen them.
FDA spokeswoman Susan Cruzan said last week that the agency had no comment on the documents.
>In a statement posted on Lilly's Web site, the company said, "To our knowledge, there has never been any allegation of missing documents from the Wesbecker trial or any other trial involving Lilly. Further, it has always been Lilly's objective to publicly disclose data about both the safety and efficacy of fluoxetine.

Elijah Cummings Could Be Facing 5 Years in His Own IRS Scandal
Elijah Cummings is always calling fort investigations into republicans even when no crime has been committed, yet he has no problem waiting for an investigation that has been put on hold for nearly three years despite positive proof that he has committed felonies in regard to illicitly obtained IRS records. Cummings asked for confidential IRS information FFor his :investigation" into True the Vote for the Oversight Committee. That was a lie. The Oversight Committee has power over government agencies and is not allowed to investigate private people or groups.
Cleta Mitchell, who is representing True the Vote, has filed an ethics probe against Elijah Cummings on February 6th (2014) with the Office of Congressional Ethics . Last fall, True the Vote started receiving 8 and 9 page letters from Cummings, claiming he was conducting an investigation of their organization as part of the House Oversight Committee. One problem. The House Oversight Committee is only allowed to investigate government agencies. Going after a private citizen is illegal.
Mitchell wants to find out if Cummings is responsible in part or completely for the harassment of Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote. After Cummings launched his "investigation" , Engelbrecht had her business audited twice, her personal taxes once, two visits from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a surprise visit from OSHA, seven visits from the FBI.
Last week, emails were released to the committee that showed that Cummings was working with Lois Lerner, which is why he attempted to scuttle the investigation into the IRS, immediately as soon as it was announced.
Cleta Mitchell is turning up the heat with her public statements such as:
"In the fall of 2012, True the Vote received a series of letters — eight, nine, 10 page letters from Elijah Cummings out of the blue, conducting what he claimed was 'his investigation of True the Vote. Now mind you, the jurisdiction of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee is federal agencies. It is not private citizens' groups in Houston, Texas."
"Congressman Cummings sent this series of letters demanding all this material and information from True the Vote. This went on for several months, and then he would get on national TV, MSNBC of course, and before the letters had been received by True the Vote he'd be waving these letters around and that he's conducting an investigation, which of course he has no authority under the House rules to do."
"On behalf of True the Vote, we filed a complaint against Rep. Cummings on February 6 with the Office of Congressional Ethics asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether Rep. Cummings or any member of his staff had played any role in getting any of the agencies that went after Catherine Engelbrecht and her family after she became involved with True the Vote. Two IRS audits about the business, her personal tax returns, two visits from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a surprise visit from OSHA, seven visits from the FBI. I mean, these are not coincidences. And so we wanted to know what role Rep. Cummings or any of his staff had played in any of that and why Rep. Cummings undertook to misrepresent that he was conducting an investigation of True the Vote, which we think was in violation of House rules."

Before the 2012 election, there seemed to be a concerted effort by democrats to get the IRS and other agencies onto the backs of conservative groups.

Off the stairs on the second floor, an immersive digital field of floating orbs, frantic lines, and hulking humanoid forms shiver and hump in an amorphous desert landscape. A mess of beings unpredictably crash and bleed into one another in an endless algorithmic flow. Electric eyes emit an energetic buzz that can be felt from the east end of the gallery to the west, while small white domes silently meander across the floor. Nearby, smeared ink and awkwardly stretched canvases bear witness to the deadening effects of anesthetics on flesh and nerves.
The walls are lined with photographs. Some resemble anatomical runoff or blooming algae, while others are latticework of ambiguous aqueous blobs. In these vestiges of pictures, water destroys the image rather than tempering the corrosive effects of darkroom chemicals. Layers of plastic and emulsion separate and degrade, resulting in snapshots of this arrested disappearance.
Further on, sonic waves evaporate and harden, and a lightning rod sends virtual heat to a pan. A copper frame bears the marks of heat and oily fingers on its dappled, gleaming surface. The ghostly image of radiation hovers near a severed communication cable resting motionless on a pedestal.
Throughout this long corridor, an invisible energetic presence pulses beneath the surface. On the way out, a hand shakes violently up and down, dissolving into a blur.

Death toll rises to 52 in Zangon Kataf, Kaura LGAs
...2 more bodies recovered from last week's attack
From Noah Ebije Kaduna
Gunmen at the weekend killed two residents in Taila village in Zangon-Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
This was even as the latest discovery of two more bodies brought the death toll from last week's Kacecere attack to 12, while that of Madamai stood at 38, in Zangon-Kataf and Kaura council areas.
Kacecere village was attacked as in reprisal for earlier attacks in Jankasa village, Zangon Kataf, and Madamai, Kaura, as reported to the Kaduna State Government by the security agencies.
A statement by Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, explained that: "Troops of Operation Safe Haven have reported an attack by unidentified persons at Ungwan Taila village, Zangon Kataf LGA, in which two residents were killed.
"According to a report to the Kaduna State Government, the troops arrived the location to find that the assailants had killed two residents.
"Receiving the report, Governor Nasir El-Rufai expressed deep regret at further loss of life from such attacks in the area.
"He prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased, and conveyed his heartfelt condolences to their families.
"In the meantime, troops will continue search-and-rescue operations in the area. Citizens will be briefed on further updates."
In a similar development, Aruwan added that: "The military has reported to the Kaduna State Government the discovery of two more bodies in Kacecere village, Zangon Kataf LGA.
"This discovery was reported by troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) as they continued with search-and-rescue operations in the area, following the attack of 27th September 2021.
"It would be recalled that Kacecere village was attacked in reprisal to earlier attacks in Jankasa village, Zangon Kataf LGA, and Madamai, Kaura LGA, as reported to the government by the security agencies. The latest discovery of two corpses brings the death toll from the Kacecere attack to 12, while that of Madamai stands at 38. Search-and-rescue efforts are ongoing in both locations, straddling the two local government areas.
"Governor Nasir El-Rufai expressed sadness at the report and sent condolences to the families of the deceased as he prayed for the repose of their souls."

Hillary Clinton speaks to supporters at a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, March 2016.	 (Aaron Josefczyk/Reuters)
New revelations about the Clinton campaign's opposition research demand media consistency.
If we found out that Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee had paid a firm working for the Russians to create a file of fabricated attacks on Hillary Clinton during the election cycle, would the media treat it as an impeachable offense? Would such efforts be considered an attack on the foundations of our democracy? Would liberal columnists make sensationalist claims that the Russians had "carried out a successful plan to pick the government of the United States"? Would they argue that the election had been rigged? Would they demand that Republicans pick their country over their party?
Of course they would.
What if a major media organization had taken that ginned-up dossier, one that included a number of unsubstantiated stories about Clinton's supposed sexual fetishes and shady business dealings with foreign powers, and put it online so millions of readers could judge the content for themselves? What if the firm that helped disseminate that file had been feeding a number of reporters alleged scoops that helped shape post-election coverage? Would we now be engaged in a national conversation about the responsibility journalists have to avoid broadcasting questionable information about candidates? Would the outlets that ran with those stories apologize for having regurgitated items that might have been concocted by the Russians themselves? Because all of that sure sounds like "fake news" to me.
According to the Washington Post, much of this likely happened — but in reverse. It claims that Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, had hired the Washington, D.C., firm Fusion GPS to do opposition work. The firm was working on behalf of Russians to undermine American sanctions. And it is likely that Russian sources were in part responsible for some of their bogus assertions.
If the Post is correct, those involved in hiring the firm lied about it for a year. Yes, we knew that Democrats had contracted the opposition research, but we didn't know it was the national party and presidential candidate who did so. (Reports also say that one unknown Republican was involved with Fusion GPS before the firm hired Christopher Steele, a former British spy, to author the dossier.)
How often did the FBI use the dossier as a pretext for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants? Seems like a reasonable question. According to CNN, it was used in part to justify a FISA warrant on Trump-campaign adviser Carter Page. CNN has also reported that the FBI paid Steele for some of his efforts. The Washington Post reported that just a few weeks before the election, Steele had reached an agreement with the FBI for it to pay him to continue his work, and the plug was later pulled. Did it pay him for other work?
The dossier reached the highest levels of the intelligence community. Then–FBI director James Comey briefed President Obama and President-elect Trump about the dossier after the election. Information leaked from the dossier was what really revved up the Russia-collusion scare in January.
Maybe another Robert Mueller is needed to get to the truth.
No doubt there is much more to this story. For now, though, Fusion GPS officials have taken the Fifth (despite what you may have heard from some reporters) and asked a federal judge to block a House intelligence committee request for access to bank records. Maybe another Robert Mueller is needed to get to the truth, since independent counsels don't seem to function under these strictures — or any, for that matter.
This is all old news, they tell us. While Clinton's plans for the presidency did indeed fail, I've been informed on numerous occasions that a foreign attack on our democratic process is tantamount to a declaration of war. I mean, we know that Clinton has been tied to Russian uranium interests going back to 2009, but this all happened just last year. Surely, those who are ready to condemn Attorney General Jeff Sessions for attending the same party as a Russian diplomat are somewhat concerned about the DNC hiring a firm that was actively attempting to weaken the Magnitsky Act during a national election.
Now, some of us believe much of the Russia scare is a politically motivated effort to undermine the legitimacy of an election. Voting totals were never "hacked." Not one vote was manipulated. Americans still possess free will. On the other hand, there's no doubt Russia would love to instigate unrest in the United States. Democrats have been telling us this for a year. So those who automatically dismiss this inconvenient Fusion GPS story as irrelevant only reveal that they were never very serious about the Russian interference in the first place.

Prevalence of asthma among Qatari schoolchildren: International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood, Qatar.
Pediatr Pulmonol. 2006 Jan; 41(1):80-6.PP
The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases among schoolchildren aged 6-14 years in the State of Qatar, based on a questionnaire designed by the International Study of Asthma and Allergy in Childhood (ISAAC). A cross-sectional study of 3,283 school children living in both urban and rural areas (average age, 9.03 +/- 1.99 years; 52.3% boys and 47.7% girls) was conducted between February 2003-February 2004. The population sample had a high prevalence of diagnosed asthma (19.8%), allergic rhinitis (30.5%), eczema (22.5%), and chest infection (11.9%). The frequency of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema among parents reflected the same pattern as seen in their children. Overall, males had more asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chest infections than females. In general, the prevalence rate of asthma and allergic rhinitis decreased with age. The prevalence rate of asthma was significantly higher in mothers (11.8%) than in fathers (9.0%), but the frequency of allergic rhinitis symptoms was comparable (mothers, 18.5%; fathers, 17.5%). The prevalence rate of asthma (19.8%) in Qatari schoolchildren is very close to that in the neighboring Gulf country, Oman (20.7%), and higher than in some developing countries. Genetic factors related to the high rates of consanguinity may play an important role in the high prevalence rates noted in the Qatari population, but changes in lifestyle and environmental factors cannot be discounted as possible causes of the high prevalence noted in this study.

I don't know about you but my life seems chaotic. Work, kids, church, school, commute, activities; it seems as though I wake up each morning and run a marathon for that day, crash in my bed then start it all over the next day. I feel I am always in a constant state of catching up. I yearn for a rare Saturday with a clear schedule and nothing to do but "be" and enjoy the company of our family.
Sometimes I feel as though I am doing nothing well. I reflect on my busyness and wonder what I have really accomplished other than surviving each day. Furthermore, I ask myself, "Could I be doing this better, if I give this or that up?" Yet, perhaps but by God's grace, in my retrospection, there are so many wonderful things that happen despite the messiness.
Though now I am a mission's director at a church, I received a bachelor's degree of science in biology. One of my favorite classes in my academic career was an ornithology class. Our lab was simply to observe birds in their natural habitat, identify them and to journal on their behaviors. Despite predawn class gatherings, which no college student wants to endure, it was the most memorable and fascinating course. My professor, Dr. Fisher was a wacky, near retirement age, self-proclaimed "king fisher" and a lover of birds. He once almost ran off the road because he spotted a red-tailed hawk in route to a nearby park. Thankfully, I was following behind in the college van.
In one our class observations, my lab partner and I sat near a bluebird box and watched the activity. Busily, a bluebird flew into the box through the tiny hole bringing waded up hair twigs and grass, would stay inside for a short time, then would fly away to return with more building materials. This went on for a long time. As activity ceased, my lab partner and I lifted the latch on the bird box to observe a neatly twisted, perfect nest prepared to protect the precious eggs of the bluebird.
God takes the seeming twisted up chaos of my life and is able to make something orderly, comforting and safe for me and my family. Little by little, keep going.

Best Time Visit Chardham
Best Time to Visit Char Dham
Uttarakhand is a devotees' treasury and undeniably Char Dham is one its concealed solitaires. All the four temples (Char Dham), Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath, and Kedarnath remain open for just half a year from April or May to October or November. However, the exact dates are confirmed by the Mandir Samiti on the auspicious day of Maha Shivaratri. Like every year, this year as well the opening and closing dates have been announced by the committee. However, the dates are determined by the priest of the Bhimashankar Linga Temple.
Being located at high peaks, the temples of Char Dham witnesses a heavy snowfall during the winter season which forces the committee to close the shrines during winter season, making the months from April/May to October/November the only best time to visit Char Dham. Moreover, during the winter season when the hallowed gates of Kedarnath Temple remain closed, the idol of Kedarnath is shifted to Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath. Whereas, Shani Dev Temple in Kharsali, Vasu Dev Temple in Joshimath, and Mukhimath Temple in Mukba are the holy shrines that become the winter home where the idols of Yamunotri, Badrinath, and Gangotri are kept and worshipped for the whole winter season respectively.
Every year, the Char Dham Yatra witnesses a heavy number of pilgrims and this stat is subsequently increasing year-by-year. In 2022, the holy gates of Yamunotri and Gangotri are ready to reopen from around 03 May. Whereas, Kedarnath and Badrinath are also set to reopen for devotees around 06 May and 08 May respectively.
Since the temples of Char Dham are located at the high peaks, therefore, the weather remains pleasant for most time of the year. However, in winter the temples become inaccessible because of snowbound conditions which ultimately results in the closure of Char Dham Yatra during winter season.
April to June
July to Sep
Oct to March
From the month of April, the summer season marks its beginning in Uttarakhand where these four destinations (Char Dham) are located. During this season, the temperature ranges in between 25°C and 35°C, and thus, making summer the best season for Char Dham Yatra as the weather favourable. The season ends in the month of June.
The monsoon season in Uttarakhand commences in July and lasts till the month of September. Throughout these months, the whole state receives a heavy rainfall including the destinations of Char Dham. Despite this, the pilgrimage records a heavy footfall of devotees. It is always advisable to check the weather forecast beforehand if you're going for Char Dham Yatra in winter season. Also, carry some rainfall gears and necessary equipment.
The only season when the sacred gates of Char Dham remain closed for devotees is winter. Commences in the month of October and ends in March, the winter season in Char Dham destinations receives a heavy snowfall which bars the access of Char Dham. The temperature during the winter season ranges from subzero degree to 15°C.

Ryan Palmer misses chance for 59 in Humana Challenge
Peter Oosterhuis of England is retiring after 20 years as a golf analyst for CBS Sports
Dustin Johnson plans to return from his leave of absence in two weeks at Torrey Pines.
LA QUINTA, Calif. – Ryan Palmer missed a chance to shoot 59 or lower Friday in the Humana Challenge, settling for an 11-under 61 after playing an eight-hole stretch in 10 under.
After opening with two pars, Palmer had two eagles and six birdies on the next eight holes to match the longest eagle-birdie streak in PGA Tour history.
"Walking off 10, after I got to 10 under, I was staying calm, trying not to think about anything, just trying to keep my momentum going, my pace with my walk," Palmer said. "It's hard not to think about it."
Needing to play the final eight holes in 3 under to shoot 59, he bogeyed the par-4 second and par-3 third to drop to 8 under.
"Couple loose swings there," Palmer said. "I guess the bogeys did kind of calm me down a little bit more and I didn't worry about, obviously, the number."
Palmer birdied the par-5 fourth and par-4 sixth. He parred the par-3 seventh, birdied the par-5 eighth after missing an 8-foot eagle putt, and missed a 6-foot putt on the par-4 ninth in a closing par.
The 38-year-old Texan holed out from 97 yards for eagle on the par-4 12th to start the streak on PGA West's Jack Nicklaus Private Course. He birdied the next three holes, made a 20-foot eagle putt from the fringe on the par-5 16th and added three more birdies.
"I putted well," Palmer said. "I didn't make anything long, except for the eagle on 16."
He tied the birdie-eagle streak record set by Billy Mayfair in the 2001 Buick Open and matched by Briny Baird in the 2003 FUNAI Classic. Mayfair and Baird were each 9 under during their runs, making seven birdies and an eagle.
At 9-under 27, Palmer matched the tour record for relation to par for nine holes and was a stroke off the record of 26 set by Corey Pavin on a par-34 nine in Milwaukee in 2006.
Six players have shot 59 on the PGA Tour. Al Geiberger did it in the 1977 Memphis Classic, Chip Beck in the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational, David Duval on the Palmer course in the final round of his 1999 Bob Hope victory, Paul Goydos in the 2010 John Deere Classic, Stuart Appleby in the 2010 Greenbrier Classic and Jim Furyk in the 2013 BMW Championship. Ryo Ishikawa shot the lowest round on a major tour, a 58 to win the 2010 Crowns on the Japan Tour.
Palmer had a 12-under 132 total after opening with a 71 on Thursday at La Quinta Country Club. He was three strokes behind leader Matt Kuchar.
Kuchar, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 11, had a 64 on the Nicklaus course. He tied for third last week in Hawaii in the Sony Open.
"Game feels solid," Kuchar said. "I feel like I know where it's going, feel like I'm hitting it in the center of the clubface."
Justin Thomas, Nick Watney and Scott Pinckney were 13 under. Thomas had a 63, Watney shot 64, and Pinckney 67 — all on the Nicklaus course.
Phil Mickelson was 7 under in his first start since the Ryder Cup in September. He birdied his final five holes for a 66 on the Nicklaus course.
"It took me 31 holes to get my game to click," Mickelson said.
The 44-year-old Mickelson won the event in 2002 and 2004. He's winless in 27 PGA Tour starts since the 2013 British Open.
Broadcaster Oosterhuis to retire: Peter Oosterhuis of England is retiring after 20 years as a golf analyst for CBS Sports and Golf Channel.
Oosterhuis won 20 times on the European Tour and played the PGA Tour for 11 years. He played on six Ryder Cup teams and a 14-11-3 mark, a remarkable record considering that Europe lost every Ryder Cup from 1971 to 1981.
He worked the first two events Golf Channel ever broadcast in 1995, and then he joined CBS in 1998.
Oosterhuis says golf has been a big part of his life since he was growing up in England and that television allowed him to stay involved even after he stopped playing. He says now is the right time to retire so he can enjoy other things he always wanted to do.
Johnson to return at Torrey Pines: Dustin Johnson plans to return from his leave of absence in two weeks at Torrey Pines.
The Farmers Insurance Open said Friday that the 30-year-old Johnson has committed to play the tournament Feb. 5-8. It will be his first competition since he announced in early August that he was taking time off to seek professional help from "personal challenges."
Johnson never disclosed the nature of those challenges. Golf.com reported that he had tested positive for cocaine for the second time in three years and that the PGA Tour suspended him for six months. The PGA Tour said it did not.
Johnson is an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour. He missed the PGA Championship, FedEx Cup playoffs, the Ryder Cup and his title defense in the HSBC Champions last year.
Grace shares lead in Qatar: Branden Grace and Bernd Wiesberger birdied their last holes to keep a share of the lead after round three at the Qatar Masters on Friday.
Scotland's Marc Warren and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo would have stood alone atop the leaderboard with 13-under-203 totals if Grace and Wiesberger hadn't achieved a final flourish at Doha Golf Club.
They were two shots ahead of England's Eddie Pepperell (65), Spain's Alejandro Canizares (68) and South Africa's George Coetzee (70), and four in front of first-round leader Oliver Fisher of England (69).
Grace's 4-under round of 68 featured a remarkable birdie after driving into the trees on the fifth hole. He snap-hooked a wedge to six feet to stay in contention.
"I could only hit a big, snapping hook with a wedge and when I hit it, I couldn't see the ball," Grace said of his near impossible shot.
"We heard the claps and next thing you know, managed to make a nice little five-footer for birdie that definitely got it kick started."
Wiesberger also carded 4 under, while Grillo shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 to be in contention for his maiden European Tour title.
Grillo putted magnificently, including a 20-foot birdie on the 11th.
"I hit the ball better today, so I've got a good feeling for tomorrow, and want to try to get my first win," Grillo said. "You have to learn first to win out here, and I've learned a lot."
Wiesberger got off to a flying start when he birdied the second and third before converting another birdie from 15 feet at the eighth.
"It's nice to start the day in the lead and hang on to keep it," he said. "It was just that bad swing on 16 which cost me a bogey there … I finished nicely with a birdie and it gives me a bit of momentum for tomorrow."
Warren shot four birdies in his first 10 holes, but bogeyed the 14th before hitting birdies on the next two to match Grillo's score for the day.
"The last few years I've shown a lot of progress again," Warren said. "It's one thing to be confident, and to actually do it is another thing. I've definitely got a spring in the step."
Pepperell, who celebrated his 24th birthday on Thursday, carded Friday's best round of 7 under to be at 11 under with Canizares and Coetzee.
However, defending champion Sergio Garcia, playing in his first 2015 event, had a forgetful day as he went out of contention at 1 under after scoring 5-over 77. Also, Justin Rose was seven shots behind, and Henrik Stenson nine behind.


I visited zen temple "Enkakuji" in Kamakura yesterday for the first time.
Mr.Shingu Ito who was one of my teachers of oriental medicine studied Zen Buddhism from Priest Sougen Asahina and Taishin Adachi at this temple.
He recommended me to study acupuncture and moxibustion at Toyo Shinkyu Institute 30 years ago.
Enkakuji Zen temple was founded in 1282.Its patron was Hojo Tokimune of the Kamakura Shogunate,who played an important role in the battles against Mongolia.The founder of the temple was the high-ranking priest,Mugaku Sogen,who arrived in Japan from China.Enkakuji was built mainly to honor the war-dead for both sides of the conflict.
I was happy to see the poem of Shinmin Sakamura. When I visited his home 15 years ago, he gave me his autograph paper on which his poem was written. It's my treasure.
