The current number of year-round households on the island is ten, however the population climbs to 700 people during the summer months. History [ edit] The first known settlement occurred in 1804. The island was once considered to be part of Canada but, since 1823, has been recognized as part of the United States. Shortly afterwards a dispute over some harvested trees created a brief disturbance called "The Grindstone Island War" in which American militia attempted to prevent the removal of the logs. In 1831 the entire island was purchased by Eliza Evertson, the widow of Nicholas Evertson and the grandmother of Edgar Saltus, for $15, 000. The Evertson family owned the island for over 40 years. [2] In the early 1900s the island acquired enough of a population to have two school buildings built, a lower school house (which is now a private home) by the cross-island bridge and an upper school house, which is now the Grindstone Island Research and Heritage Center which gives out scholarships once a year.
Welcome to Nanaimo - Bathtub Racing, anyone? The second largest city on Vancouver Island goes by many names: the 'Hub City', 'Harbour City', 'Pub City', 'Tub City'... Each of these monikers is no less accurate than the next - testament to the diversity that makes this, Vancouver Islands second largest city, a destination worth experiencing. The Spanish were the first Europeans to discover Nanaimo in 1791, giving it the name, Bocas de Winthuysen. Although it had grown into a busy trading post by the early 1800's, the town didn't really begin to boom until the Hudson Bay Company staked its claim in the region's rich coal deposits. Fittingly, the city's official name derives from an earlier time when the area served as home to five Coast Salish villages (the term Sney-ny-mo meaning meeting place in their tongue). Today, this quaint port-city with its numerous parks and fairytale waterfront has become a favourite West Coast vacation destination. Whatever names it goes by, getting to know modern Nanaimo is getting familiar with all her faces...

Earth receives only about one-billionth of the sun's energy. About 34% of the solar energy reaching the troposphere is reflected back into space by clouds, dust, chemicals. Most of the energy reaches the troposphere as visible light, infrared radiation, and a small amount of ultraviolet radiation that wasn't absorbed by the stratosphere. This unreflected solar radiation is turned into infrared radiation, or heat. Heat-trapping gasses like water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone affect the speed at which this radiation is returned to space. Without these gasses, known as the natural greenhouse effect, heat would immediately return to space, making it almost as cold as Mars. Living Earth Earth is truly a remarkable planet. It is the only planet in our solar system that has the components necessary to support life as we recognize it. The planet is only a tiny part of the universe, but it is the home of human beings and many other organisms. Animals and plants live almost everywhere on the surface of Earth.
Before planning the Mata Vaishnodevi trip having an idea about Katra`s weather can be beneficial in a long way in having a successful Darshan without any inconvenience and or any health trouble. Katra town in Jammu and Kashmir is located at an altitude of around 2500 ft ( 751 meters) above mean sea level while the Bhawan of Mata Vaishno Devi located in Trikuta hills 13 Kms from Katra is located at nearly 5200 ft (1560 meters) above mean sea level. As the height difference is more than doubble there is a significant climate difference between the two locations. Current climatic conditions: Katra weather hd (humidity)| next two days | weekly forecast The temperature in the Bhawan area is significantly lower than that of Katras temperature. As the Devotees visit both these places in a day ( span of 24 hours) checking the climate conditions and temperature at Katra alone may thus be misleading, for, even at the height of summer heat, the Bhawan area is considerably cold. The temperature at the Bhawan is 5 to 10 degrees less as compared to Katra temperature.

Culture Explainer The accident at a nuclear power plant in Ukraine shocked the world, permanently altered a region, and leaves many questions unanswered. On April 25 and 26, 1986, the worst nuclear accident in history unfolded in what is now northern Ukraine as a reactor at a nuclear power plant exploded and burned. Shrouded in secrecy, the incident was a watershed moment in both the Cold War and the history of nuclear power. More than 30 years on, scientists estimate the zone around the former plant will not be habitable for up to 20, 000 years. The disaster took place near the city of Chernobyl in the former USSR, which invested heavily in nuclear power after World War II. Starting in 1977, Soviet scientists installed four RBMK nuclear reactors at the power plant, which is located just south of what is now Ukraine's border with Belarus. On April 25, 1986, routine maintenance was scheduled at V. I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station's fourth reactor, and workers planned to use the downtime to test whether the reactor could still be cooled if the plant lost power.
