Norfolk ( /nɔrfɨk/ nor-fək) is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. With a population of 242, 803 as of the 2010 Census, it is Virginia's second-largest city behind neighboring Virginia Beach. Norfolk is located at the core of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, named for the large natural harbor of the same name located at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. It is one of nine cities and seven counties that constitute the Hampton Roads metro area, officially known as the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA. The city is bordered to the west by the Elizabeth River and to the north by the Chesapeake Bay. It also shares land borders with the independent cities of Chesapeake to its south and Virginia Beach to its east. One of the oldest of the cities in Hampton Roads, Norfolk is considered to be the historic, urban, financial, and cultural center of the region. The city has a long history as a strategic military and transportation point. Norfolk Naval Base is the world's largest such base, and the world's largest military alliance, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has its defense headquarters here.
Minimal access was further possible because of our ingenuity, soon natural openings in the body started being use, giving ride to the concept of scarless surgery, the nose for endoscopic pituitary tumor excision and for sinus surgery, the urethral opening for prostate and bladder surgery and for renal stones, the umbilicus is the site for the hidden scars for laparoscopic surgeries. Using multiple small holes than one large opening is cosmetically much more powerful and is a commonly technique in minimal invasive spine surgery. But apart from all the techniques, it is the attitude of the surgeon that is the key to minimal access surgery. although the approach is small its destructive capacity is the same, so needs extreme caution and adequate training and ability to apply the principles, in short it is minimal access but maximal invasion.

When is the best time to visit Nepal? Nepal's annual monsoon takes place between June and August. Fat rain clouds bubble up over the sea south of India and sweep across the country where they collide with the cooler air of the Himalayas, dropping their rain in torrential fashion. Most parts of the country experience sudden sharp downpours, although some mountainous areas remain pretty dry year-round, sheltered from the rain by the mighty Himalayas. The Upper Mustang region and sections of the Annapurna circuit, in particular Jomsom, in the rain shadow gets just 30mm of rain mid-monsoon in August, while Pokhara is drenched in 850mm. Even in peak monsoon season it rarely rains for long periods, and more intrepid visitors will enjoy having the cultural sights and drier trekking trails almost to themselves. Weather overview Seasons in Nepal can be divided roughly into four seasons, although (as with weather conditions worldwide) these seasons are increasingly blurred. From the lowlands close to the Indian border to the 8, 850m peak of Mount Everest, Nepal's climate is hugely altitude dependent.
5 (10=best), which means it is more comfortable than most places in Utah. 7. 5 / 10 A higher score indicates a more comfortable year-round climate. The US average for the comfort index is 7. Our index is based on the total number of days annually within the comfort range of 70-80 degrees, and we also applied a penalty for days of excessive humidity.

Weather is the conditions of the atmosphere over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere is over long periods of time.
The Blue Mosque is in the center of Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan. Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie Afghanistan is located in Central Asia with Iran to the west and Pakistan to the east. GEOGRAPHY Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited. Afghanistan is located in Central Asia with Iran to the west and Pakistan to the east. Tall, forbidding mountains and dry deserts cover most of the landscape of Afghanistan. The jagged mountain peaks are treacherous, and are snow covered for most of the year. Many Afghans live in the fertile valleys between the mountains and grow their crops and tend to their animals. Only 20 percent of the land is used as fields. Summers are hot and dry but the winters are very cold, especially north of the Hindu Kush, which is located in the eastern part of the country near Pakistan and Tajikistan. Many rivers flow through the mountain gorges. Snow melt and rain that flow out of the Hindu Kush pool into a low area and never reach the ocean.

Years ago, I wrote a post about surviving and thriving in London, and it's one of my favorite pieces I've written for Apartment Therapy. I occasionally get emails from readers who've read it and are considering moving to London, want to meet up when they're in town visiting, or just want to chat about the city. As an expat who'll take any opportunity to talk up her adopted home, I love this. This month marks my own "Londonversary"; to celebrate —and help out anyone thinking of moving to the city — I canvassed my friends, from born-and-bred Londoners to long-term expats and recent arrivals, for thoughts on living here. Here are 7 things to consider before making the leap across the pond. London might be right for you if… You Can Embrace the Commute First things first: London is a beast of a city. It sprawls and swallows up once-distinct villages in its wake. Divided into 6 concentric "zones" like a bullseye, most of the city's action is in Zones 1 and 2, but I only know a few people lucky enough to live a stroll from their office.
