Jet Lag
June 20th, 2009 
Tushar Mathur Jet lag, also known as desynchronizes, it is a momentary disorder that causes exhaustion, insomnia, and other symptoms because of air travel across time zones. Other than fatigue and insomnia, a jet lag victim may experience dehydration, headache, irritability, nausea, anxiety, constipation, diarrhea, puzzlement, sweating, synchronization problems, and even memory loss. Some persons report additional symptoms, such as increased vulnerability to illness and heartbeat irregularities.
The cause of jet lag is the incapability of the body of a traveler to instantly adjust to the time in a diverse zone. As the body struggles to deal with the new schedule, temporary fatigue, insomnia, irritability, and an impaired ability to concentrate may set in.
Traveling Under the Ocean by Train
June 10th, 2009 Tushar Mathur When traveling over the ocean, most people will fly or use a ship of some sort. However, if you’re in France or England, you have access to a whole different way of traveling. Well, it isn’t too different but it can be considered quite unique. I am talking about the Channel Tunnel. This tunnel connects Folkestone, Kent in England to Coquelles (Near Calais) in France. The Channel tunnel is unique in the way that it is under the ocean with trains traveling from country to country all the time.
The Channel Tunnel, also known as Chunnel, is 50.5 kilometers (31.4 miles) long.

Test Your Skills at the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival
June 5th, 2009 Tushar Mathur
The Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival is one of the many juried craft shows out there, but it is one event that I personally help at organizing. Every year, we receive more than six hundred aspiring applications for a spot in the festival. These craftspeople are then required to submit three slides of their pieces, along with one slide of their area.
Once all applicants have submitted these requirements, our qualified jurors are shown every artist’s slides simultaneously and without knowing the names of the artist. They will then choose the lucky 200 who will be accepted to the exhibit proper.
Warren County Farmers Market McMinnville, Tennessee
June 2nd, 2009 Tushar Mathur
Farmers markets are places where I can buy cheap and safe vegetables, produce for my families’ needs. They are basically organized and manned by farmers and farm owners. These persons sell their cultivated goods for much lower prices than their commercial or grocery counterparts. They basically just provide a donation to the municipality for the continuous improvement of the community. It is because farmers do not pay for steep rental fees or space lots at farmers markets. I personally love going to Farmers Market.
The Warren County Farmers Market normally opens every Saturday morning from 7am and closes at 12noon.
