Visit Denmark's amazing safari parks
You do not have to spend hours on a plane to meet, greet and touch exotic animals. From May to September, all you need to do is jump in your car and visit one of the several safari parks around the country.
The article continues below.

Denmark is home to some amazing safari parks, each with an individual twist, which can make it worthwhile to visit more than one. You are bound to experience some memorable moments, certainly if you also have the luck of a close encounter with "wild" animals, such as goats and donkeys.
Beware that goats, lovable as they are, and usually harmless to children, can be quite cumbersome, very stubborn and hard to get rid of, especially when food is involved.
A visitor to one of the parks forgot that goats have great ears (and appetites), and when taking a big and loud bite of his apple, with windows open, found his car under heavy attack by goats' horns, as they tried to get to the apple.
Others recount how the children's sunscreens in the car caught the donkeys' attention, and were subsequently eaten!
However, only in areas with tame animals do cars normally stop, or drive through with open windows, so you should be quite safe inside your own safari transport with the "real" wild animals.
The parks are truly a unique opportunity to explore wild animals in natural settings without making a long trip to Africa.
The article continues below.
Knuthenborg Safaripark:
This safari park is situated in the original park of the Knuthenborg Estate in Maribo on Lolland. It comes with the beautiful original park bordering the sea, and of course, the old manor house, Knuthenborg Castle, located in the park itself.
Entering the park, you drive through the old estate gates, and here you pay for your day ticket of safari fun.
Knuthenborg is famous for its wildlife, with animals from several continents living on a large area of the estate's park. The safari park has divided the animals into different sections according to the continent they come from.
New this year is also the addition of the Dinosaur Park – no fears, they look alive but are not! Instead the idea is to show how these animals from our past actually link to those alive today!
The estate covers an area of about 500 hectares, with more than 23 km of roads to drive through while exploring the 1,000 animals living there.
A unique visit is the area with tigers. They are fenced in, but you still drive right through their living area– an awesome experience. The speed limit in the park is 30 km/h. (Only 10 km/h in the tiger and wolf enclosures.)
Their Facebook page and website offer a lot of information, although the English version is less detailed than the Danish one – unfortunately.
Opening Hours:
Until July, the park is open from 10:00 to 17:00. From July to mid-August the park will be open until 18:00. The drive from Copenhagen takes about 90 minutes.
Entrance Fee:
Children (3-11 years): DKK 140, Adults: DKK 230
Getting there:
By car: Address for GPS: Knuthenborg Allé 1, 4930 Maribo.
Via freeway E47 – south: Take exit 47, Maribo Øst. Follow the signs to the park.
Via freeway E47 – north: Take exit 48, Maribo Vest. Follow the signs to the park.
Be aware:
Driving around the park among the wild animals often leads to unexpected situations: donkeys trying to eat the sunshades in the car if you forget to close the windows, lions refusing to move in front of your car, have patience! Just remember to follow the safety instructions from the personnel. Upon arrival you receive the park's safety guidelines.
Bonus info:
Excellent playgrounds. Take the time and let the kids enjoy themselves– or play with them. You can spend hours at the playground. If the weather is perfect, bring your picnic and some bathing clothes. You can also buy refreshments in the park.
More Information:
Check out www.knuthenborg.dk for the latest information about opening hours, how to get around, and much more.
The article continues below.
Ree Park Safari:
Ree Safari Park is situated in Jutland only a 45 minute drive from Aarhus by car.
The park covers an area of 70 hectares with more than 80 species from four continents.
The park's main objective is to focus on endangered species. Several of the animals living in the park are threatened with extinction in their natural habitat, and therefore the park works intensively on breeding programmes to ensure their survival.
You can walk around the park or enjoy a ride in a Land Rover Safari Car; the ride will take you close to the animals from the African Savanna with no danger to your own car.
Check their website for daily activities, such as feeding the animals, camel riding and Land Rover Safari departure times.
Opening Hours:
Ree Park Safari is open from 10:00 to 16:00 (17:00 during the weekend). From mid-July the park is open every day until 17:00 with some late days until 20.00.
Entrance Fee:
Children (3-11 years): DKK 100/110*, Adults: DKK 180/190*. *Price is valid in the following period: 30 June to 19 August 2018.
Geting there:
By car: Address for GPS: Stubbe Søvej 15, 8400 Ebeltoft
From Århus: Drive to Tirstrup, turn right towards Ebeltoft, then left towards Gravlev, then follow the signs to the park.
From Ebeltoft ferry port: Drive to Tirstrup; before Øksenmøll turn right towards Gravlev, then follow the signs to the park.
Be aware:
If you plan to stay more than one day in the area you should keep your ticket, as it will give you a 20 percent discount on the entrance fees to Fregatten Jylland and Glasmusset Ebeltoft.
Check out www.fregatten-jylland.dk and www.glasmusset.dk for information on opening hours.
Bonus info:
Ree Safari Park was used as the location for the Danish children's movie "Mine søsters børn i Afrika" from 2012. The movie conveys the image of an African Savanna quite well; at Ree Safari Park you are in for a real African safari experience. Ree Safari Park also offers safaris in their own Karen Blixen Camp located in Kenya, Africa.
More information:
Check out www.reepark.dk for the latest information about opening hours, how to get around, and much more.

Givskud Zoo safari park:
Givskud Zoo safari park is located in Jutland in the town of Givskud, a 25-minute drive from Billund. It has existed for 40 years, and its vision has been to educate and provide information about wild animals as well as give visitors a wild animal experience. The number of species has grown, with more than 70 different kinds of animals living in the park today.
When you are in the park, you can get around in three ways – walking, driving your own car, or taking the Givskud Zoo Safari Bus. Whatever you choose, you get really close to the animals and it feels like you are travelling across the African Savanna.
Opening Hours:
Givskud is open from 10.00 to 16.00 (17.00 during the weekend). From Mid-July the park is open daily until 20:00.
Entrance Fee:
Children (3-11 years): DKK 110, Adults: DKK 210
Getting there:
By car: Address for GPS: Løveparkvej 3, 7323 Give
Be aware:
Buy your ticket online and save money.
Bonus info:
You can watch the animals being fed throughout most of the day. Scattered around the area, you will find playgrounds for both little and bigger kids, with the chance of baking bonfire bread, panning for gold and playing with some of the (tame) animals.

Visit rainforests from three continents at Randers Regnskov:
Randers Regnskov is situated in the middle of Jutland, a 45-minute drive from Aarhus Airport by car. It is known for its 3,600 m2 tropical exhibition, consisting of three domes housing animals and plants from the world's three large rain forest continents: South America, Asia and Africa.
Among the rainforest's more than 250 different species, about half of them are free roaming.
If you check out www.regnskoven.dk you can read about visiting the cave of the glowing skulls, the snake temple in which non-venomous snakes roam freely, the dark and mysterious African cave with several nocturnal animals, and finally the sunken frigate 'Sirenen' and you can also find information about daily activities.

Dr. Lisa O'Leary discusses how conducting regular health checks of your exam program provides an important piece of validity evidence: confirmation that the interpretation of exam scores remains appropriate over time. Health checks can be customized to your program's specific needs and interests to provide you the most valuable data to make informed, ongoing decisions throughout the lifespan of the exam.

Commission on Democracy and Technology in Europe
Project Background
Chatham House is establishing a Commission on Democracy and Technology in Europe to examine the role of technology both as a driver and as a potential solution to the current crisis of liberal democracy.
This commission will be open and inclusive, engaging a wide community of users to develop a deliberative online research process that can help change the way policy research is conducted. We hope to open up the 'black box' of traditional investigative commissions and widen the range of inputs into the research process.
Thus, the process aims to be transparent and to allow users to input more directly into the research than is traditionally the case. We will do this by opening up the phase between the submission of evidence and the publication of the report, working with users to integrate the ideas that have emerged during the submission phase into building blocks for the report.
Learn more about how it works.
Project Team
The project is led by Hans Kundnani from Chatham House.
Guided by the members of the Commission, Chatham House will publish a report in 2019 that will include recommendations of practical ways in which technology can be used to renew and strengthen liberal democracy in Europe – in particular around increasing accountability and transparency.
We are grateful to Janus Friis for supporting the project.
The Commission consists of experts on democracy, European politics, and technology, but also invites contributions from others. The names of Commission members are below.
If you would like to know more about this project, check for regular updates, follow us on Twitter or get in touch with the team.

There's massage, and then there's musculoskeletal deep tissue therapy. And king of this powerful, de-knotting, lengthening treatment is Rohan Quarry Day, who has recently taken up residency at the Como Shambhala Urban Escape Spa at the Metropolitan Hotel, London. This man knows how to give good stretch, and seems to have an uncanny intuition for exactly where he needs to focus his energy. So you'll go in hunched, achy and grumpy and come out poised, springy, and smiley. We did.
Rohan will be based at the Como Shambhala Urban Escape until November 30 (but you can put your name on the list to see him when he next returns too). Musculoskeletal Deep Tissue Therapy, £130 for 60 minutes, or £300 for a block of three. 020 7447 5750.

The land that lies beneath Old Hickory Farm started as a promise. As Erskine Wolford walked across this beautiful piece of land, on his way to volunteer for the Civil war, he promised himself that if he lived through the war he would buy the property.
It's not a surprise that when Erskines Grandson, Darryl with his wife Julie, decided to build their horse facility, there was not a more beautiful place than on top of the hill in the pasture.
John and Lori Lems, both from Canton, South Dakota, were approached by their son, Christopher. He wanted to attend Morrisville State College. Johns family had been involved in racing Standardbreds since the 1960's and no other career would suit Christopher as well as racing Standardbreds himself.
As the Lem's made more and more trips to New York they were quite taken by the beauty of the area. On one of those trips they saw an ad for a farm in the Weedsport area. Again, not surprising, as they drove up the drive it was love at first sight. Soon they were the owners of this 57 acre farm. However, the farm needed quite a bit of TLC. The Lems were just the people for that with their great work ethic.
On another trip to New York, John met Dan Baker at a local shop. While visiting John mentioned that they needed some carpentry work done at the house. When Dan went to check out the job he asked his wife, Martha, to join him. She was hesitant on going, because she knew Dan loooved to visit. Reluctantly she said yes and went with him. Well, the Bakers and the Lems were instant friends.
While in attendance at another barn venue Dan and Martha thought the Lems farm would be a perfect place for weddings. So, the two couples, with all of their own unique talents, formed Old Hickory Farm Wedding & Gathering venue.
You might ask, why a wedding venue? The Lems and the Bakers both cherish the institution of marriage and family. We, in the most genuine way, want to share our beautiful property for what we hope to be your "best day ever!!!" with you and your guests.
We will not be surprised when you reach the top of the hill and you will also "fall in love" as Erskine Wolford did 160 years earlier.

@jendudley @Telstra I am a mega geek too. I generally notice bad network performance. I really hate buffering in particular. My wife complained about the NBN being slow the other day, then realised she wasn't on Wi-Fi and it was actually the Telstra 4G service having issues.

@jendudley @Telstra I am getting a solid 48Mbps down on my 50/20 service. I don't generally miss the 104Mbps I got on Telstra cable except when kids are streaming and I want to as well. If I get even 80Mbps down out of a 100/40 service, I doubt I will miss the 20Mbps - and will enjoy the upstream.

@Telstra I believe I have another appointment with nbn to come out and connect me. Problem is it seems your in the hands of the contractors. I've been very hesitant to get the nbn since I've only ever heard bad things. Mobile whilst not as good at least is easy. I buy and I'm connected.

Why yes, that is home-made pesto. And, yes, it is delicious. I love pesto. I am not sure I can get enough pesto. It is so versatile, and light, and tasty.
My original plan for this pesto was this delicious tilapia recipe, partly because it is really tasty and partly because I am home dog-sitting (see adorable dog photo) and my mom always has tilapia fillets in her freezer. I was all set, I had the green, I had the nuts, the garlic. Only problem is that I am a really scatter-brained cook (the flexibility in cooking makes me forgetful in ways I just don't encounter in baking). I had the rice side practically finished when I realized I hadn't made the pesto and decided to just skip it in favor of something faster.
But, I had all the ingredients, so I was going to make the pesto, just a little later than intended. Every time I make pesto, I make it a little differently and I have tried a few different recipes. This one was pretty delicious though, so I thought I would share.
Based loosely on this recipe from The Complete Kitchen Garden.
- 1/4 Cup pine nuts
- 2 Cloves garlic
- 2 1/2 Cups of spinach and arugula mix
- 1 Tbs dried basil (if you have fresh, fresh is always better, I add to taste. You could also skip it if you aren't a fan.)
- 1/4 Cup grated parmesean cheese (I am pretty generous with this and it tends to be heaping)
- 1/4 Cup olive oil (plus more if needed)
Mince garlic (I never feel this is adequately done in the food processor because I feel like the bowl is too big, but you could, theoretically, mince in the food processor). Add pine nuts and garlic to food processor and pulse until finely grated. Add spinach and pulse until incorporated. Add basil, parmesan and olive oil and pulse until it is the right consistency. It should be combined and sort of liquidy, but it will sort of hold together if you pick it up with a spoon.
Add to whatever dish you want: pasta with chicken and pesto, tilapia or other fish fillet, add when sautéing veggies. Do you have a good pesto recipe or a favorite something to put it on? I am always looking for a reason to eat pesto.

Digital Citizenship

Password Protection
Passwords are a very nice touch to our favorite websites, such as minecraft forums,
Popplet, and even Smore itself. But these touches are useless if they are easy to guess.
For example, the password "password" is very weak. However, the password C0c0Catz is
very hard to guess. To create a good password, try mixing in caps, letters that sound different then they are, numbers, and symbols!
Phones are amazing! They can do so many things, such as playing games, making calls, and texting! But the screen in your pocket can even change lives! Twalking is the verb used for texting while walking, which is dangerous to your health. Twalking can also be used as a verb for texting while driving. This can be dangerous if you aren't paying attention to the road. Twalking can be rude, as well as harmful for your grades!
Sharing Online
Sharing online is a big part of our community. But, you need to be careful what you share on Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter or Instragram! Some people would love to harm you in some way! For example, sharing a picture of your pet puppy is exceptionable, but sharing a pic of your address is not.

Barbara Maslen did not have to stray far to find inspiration — or raw materials — for her inaugural entry into the popular Box Art Auction, an event that raises tens of thousands annually for East End Hospice.
The Sag Harbor artist's late father, John Maslen, was a talented jazz saxophonist and would often bring home boxes of sheet music when he was teaching himself how to play. "There were all of these hand-written notes along the borders," recalled Maslen, who kept her father's customized sheet music for years.
Her mother, with whom she shares a first name and who also died young, was an expert quilter.
And both received hospice care at their Cape Cod home prior to their deaths.
Though she never attempted quilting, and gave up trying to learn the saxophone at age 12, Maslen inexplicably found herself folding her father's old sheet music into squares and carefully patching them together to create what she describes as a "jazz quilt." She then tapped a newly learned skill, origami, that she picked up by taking a class at the John Jermain Memorial Library in her hometown of Sag Harbor, to make the paper cranes that rest inside the cigar box, hidden from view until opened.
"This is a homage to them — both died fairly young," Maslen said referring to her unique creation that showcases her parents' talents. "I did some research and learned that cranes are a symbol of hope and healing."
Her artwork is one of 85 entries that will be sold to the highest bidder on Saturday, August 25, as part of the 18thannual Box Art Auction benefitting East End Hospice. The silent and live auctions, which organizers expect to raise between $55,000 and $65,000 combined, run from 4:30 to 8 p.m. inside St. Luke's Episcopal Church's Hoie Hall in East Hampton. Tickets start at $75 each.
Those interested in examining the entries before bidding can do so between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, August 22 and 23, at the hall. A free preview reception will run from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 22, at the same location for those interested in bidding but cannot make the auction. The artworks can also be viewed online at eeh.org. Absentee bid forms can be downloaded from the East End Hospice website.
Arlene Bujese of East Hampton has chaired the auction for 14 years and serves on East End Hospice's Board of Directors. She noted that there has been an uptick in absentee bids recently, and that all potential bidders can attend the free reception if they want an up-close view of the works but cannot attend the auction itself.
"We want the whole community to have access," said Bujese, who thanked the dozens of local artists for donating their time and expertise to help a great cause.
She did note that organizers had to place a cap on the sizes of the finished pieces, explaining that some were getting a tad carried away with their outside-the-box techniques. "We had to limit the size to 18 inches by 18 inches," Bujese added. "It needs to be a portable work of art. After a few years, some were getting a bit out of control in terms of size."
Abstract expressionist Frank Wimberley, who splits his time between Sag Harbor and Queens, agrees that his last two offerings have stood out though not because of their size. Rather, their bold color cannot help but demand attention.
"It's abstract and it's bright orange," said Wimberley, who has been contributing works since the auction's inception 18 years ago.
The 92 year old recalled one of his earlier pieces fetching $3,300 at auction, a personal high. His last two offerings were abstract sculptures affixed to cigar boxes and painted in the same bright hue, and last year's took home around $800 for East End Hospice.
He hopes that his newest contribution will continue providing financial assistance to the Westhampton Beach-based not-for-profit that provides care for terminally ill patients, as well as their loved ones, across the East End. The organization also runs the Kanas Center for Hospice Care, its first in-patient facility that's on the water on Quiogue.
"I think it's a very worthwhile thing to do, if you want to do something to help others," Wimberley said, adding that he fully intends to donate another work for next year's auction.
Darlene Charneco, a mixed media artist who recently moved to Westhampton Beach but has a Sag Harbor studio, has been a donating artist for the past 15 years. She said her motivation was Ms. Bujese, explaining that her friend curated her first art show out of college, providing her with an opportunity to pursue her passion.
"Most of my art is inspired by a vision of what is possible when we are giving and doing things together," Charneco said. "This falls right in there."
Originally hesitant to share details, Charneco eventually agreed to identify the materials she used to piece together this year's unusual artwork: vintage Legos.
"Some were discolored by the sun, some were scratched and dented," she said. "I was using more of the white ones and these pieces created their own composition."
She explained that the blocks were leftovers from her other works, some of which incorporate children's toys into their design. "I've been holding onto all these odds and ends … and they all just came together perfectly."
A first-time contributor and former illustrator, Malsen always wanted to donate a unique piece to the auction, explaining that she had a childhood fascination with boxes, including those that play music and even jack-in-the-box toys. Box Art Auction artists must incorporate either an old cigar or wine box into their design; the latter is a recent addition though not as many artists appear as interested in the option.
"I was always fascinated by the artists and how clever they were," said Malsen, whose more recent work has focused on large-scale murals. "And I like doing art that's more than just a square on the wall. That's what I do with murals."
She had been following the auction for the past five years but decided to sign up this year following the March 2017 death of her close friend, Francesca Mercer, a hairdresser from Sag Harbor who died from lung cancer at age 51. Mercer received at-home care from East End Hospice prior to her death, according to Maslen.
"As an artist, I like to donate what I have, which is time and talent rather than money," she said. "We have a lot of good things going on out here but, ultimately, what is more important than hospice?"

Ed Cherry Instrument | Guitar Biography I've been playing the guitar since the age of 12. Rock and soul music at first (Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Kool and the Gang, Jeff Beck, Wilson Pickett). After high school, in 1972, I spent 4 months at Berklee College of music, then left to go on the road with the 5 Satins. After that, a wide variety of playing situations (Tim Hardin, Jimmy McGriff, Bobby and Eddie Buster, Ted Daniel, and many others).I continued my music study w/Ted Dunbar at 'Jazzmobile'.Coming in to New York by train from New Haven every saturday to study with that master was quite a thrill for me.
Moved to New York in 1978 to be closer to the source of the music I loved. Met Rodney Jones, then playing with Dizzy Gillespie. Rodney intoduced me to guitar guru Bruce Johnson who introduced me to many other great guitarists on the scene at that time. Rodney left Dizzy's band in 1978 and asked Diz to call me. Remained with Dizzy from 1978 to 1983. Joined again in 1986 until his passing.
Since that time I've performed with many of the great players on the scene today, Bluiett, Henry Threadgill, Jimmy Smith, Kenny Burrell, John Patton, Dakota Staton, Roy Hargove, Sherman Irby, Pheeroan Ak Laff,Ratzo Harris,Oliver Lake,Mario Rivera,Laird Jackson,Hilton Ruiz,Yoron Israel,Andy Mckee,Ruth Brown,Steve Coleman,Chris White and many others. my recordings: first take-1993(groovin high) a second look-1995(groovin high) the spirits speak-2002(justin-time)

There are a few notes to pass along. Amadou Sanyang has indeed joined the Chicago Fire on trial, as was mentioned during a somewhat confusing situation last week. Also, it appears as though Mrisho Ngassa will not be rejoining the Sounders. The Tanzanian forward/midfielder was here last year and it was thought he might come over for training camp. Here are some other links: * * * — SI's Grant Wahl talked to all nine Western Conference coaches for an MLS preview. Sounders FC's Sigi Schmid had some interesting things to say about the L.A. Galaxy and the Eddie Johnson trade. He said he expects three new starters: Johnson, goalkeeper Michael Gspurning and defender Adam Johansson. I wonder if that suggests Leo Gonzalez has won the job at left back outright over Marc Burch. — The Portlandia sketch involving the Timbers Army ran recently. Here's a entertaining note on how Portland presented new forward Kris Boyd with a No. 9 jersey while a teammate already had that number. — Michael Ballack, once rumored to be a target of the Sounders, will join ESPN for its Euro 2012 commentary team. — Here's a story hoping some MLS soccer can bring some life to Tucson. — Lastly, this is for the beer fans: It sounds like Two Beers Brewing will be available at CenturyLink Field.

About HSBC home loans
HSBC home loans are popular options for investors buying property using foreign currency (expatriate home loans and market linked home loans) thanks to the bank's large presence in Hong Kong.
However, it also offers a range of other home loans, including owner-occupier home loans, local investor home loans, construction loans and lines of credit.
HSBC offers home loans to suit a variety of borrowers in Australia:
- Investors
- First homebuyers
- Renovators
- Upgraders
- Refinancers
- Seniors (home equity loans)
Borrowers can also choose from a variety of interest rate options on HSBC mortgages:
- Principal-and-interest home loans
- Interest-only home loans
- Split home loans
- Variable interest rates
- Fixed interest rates
Some HSBC home loans come with limited-time interest rate discounts and other introductory offers. HSBC Premier home loans also offer additional benefits to customers who meet the eligibility requirements.
HSBC home loan rates
HSBC home loan rates range from moderately low to high depending on the type of borrower and home loan. Generally speaking, owner occupiers paying principal and interest receive the lowest interest rates while investors paying interest only receive the highest interest rates.
Home loan rates can also vary based on whether they are variable or fixed, and how much of a deposit is put down.
Typically, HSBC borrowers who can make large deposits can also negotiate lower interest rates. With this in mind, HSBC home loans are generally geared towards customers with existing capital – although high-LVR loans are available in some circumstances.
In terms of fees, upfront fees tend to be high, while ongoing fees tend to be very low. A discharge fee may also apply at the end of the loan term. Loan repayments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
HSBC home loans review
HSBC offers a range of home loan options, primarily aimed at overseas and local investors. However, it also offers home loans for first homebuyers, upgraders and refinancers.
While some HSBC home loans come with moderately low interest rates, others attract high interest rates – so it's important to compare what's on the market before deciding if an HSBC home loan is the most suitable option.
Similarly, some HSBC mortgages come with an offset account and redraw facility while others don't, meaning the level of flexibility depends on the type of home loan chosen.
Although HSBC is an established and well-known bank, it isn't necessarily the cheapest when it comes to interest rates and fees. Borrowers may get the most value out of their home loan by taking advantage of rate discounts, special offers or other benefits through HSBC Premier.

How is Prenatal Yoga Different that "Regular" Yoga?
Article by Eve Sengkeo
With so many different styles of yoga, it's becoming quite tricky to keep track of the various practices. These days, when someone refers to yoga, they can refer to a cardio practice or a breathing meditative practice. Big difference!
As a prenatal yoga teacher at one of largest hospitals in the Washington DC metropolitan area, I've observed the ever-evolving forms of yoga classes offered to employees and the local community.
The most common question I'm asked by non-prenatal yoga teachers (and yogis) is what the main difference is between prenatal and other forms of yoga.
First, what is "regular" yoga considered anyway?
Depending on the location and individual, "regular" yoga can be a form of Hatha yoga. In highly active and health conscious cities like Los Angeles, a "typical" yoga class is probably in reference to a power yoga class.
Either way, prenatal yoga classes are rarely referenced as "regular" yoga classes you can find at the gym. So let's break it down by differentiating between prenatal and "regular" yoga (or other forms of yoga).
Note, each trimester allows for varying ranges of movements that are comfortable for the students. Where some students seem to be able to hold any pose throughout all stages of the pregnancy (prenatal sequenced or not) with ease, others have a trickier time doing child's pose in their first trimester.
Thus, there are countless differences between prenatal and other yoga classes, including variations within prenatal yoga styles.
Here are 3 major differences between prenatal and other forms of yoga classes:
1. Twists: Due to the tension on the back, particularly the lumbar spine, prenatal yoga tends to steer clear of closed twists. Thus, I typically do not cue "prayer twists" or any type of movement that may lead to added strain to the lower back.
2. Backbends: As sun salutation sequences involve upward facing dog, that's not the case for prenatal yoga. In an effort to protect the spine. Poses like an upward facing dog and came are typically avoided. For instance, a modified sun salutation sequence would be chattarunga dandasana directly to child's pose.
3. Breathwork: In many forms of yoga, there is a lot of transition from standing to floor poses. This includes many transitions between standing poses such as uttanansana to half way lifts back to uttanasana. The transitions in typical vinayasa flows are not common in prenatal yoga.
As you can imagine, all the up and down movement can make morning sickness feel worse. So the focus tends to be on breathing.
As always, in order to minimize risks for workout injuries, it's important for students to listen to their bodies. Pregnant or not, a pose that can easily be done on one day is not necessarily the case for the next day!

Two months ago, I published this blog.
Since its writing, I have uttered many things that would have seemed utterly bizarre to me at the beginning of 2013, such as the immortal phrase, "I have just been hooked up to a big bag of chemo." I now know how to correctly answer questions framed in oncology vernacular, like, "What is your primary?" (No, the answer is not a school.) I have also had to hand over control of my life to other people. As strange as this may sound, being the cantankerous, independent soul that I am this has probably been the most bizarre over-arching aspect of my treatment. Then again, perhaps I will have engaged with that all important human quality of humility at the end of my journey, which would be no bad thing.
And it has certainly been an interesting journey, largely played out on a rickety roller-coaster, or at least that is what it has felt like. Of course, I have not been alone on that journey. Whilst medical staff shouted directions at me (or occasionally seized the controls from me), friends and family have also been there to support me and, quite understandably, have asked many questions as I careered, nosedived, looped-the-loop or coasted past them on aforementioned roller-coaster. I confess some of these questions irked me, not because they were anything other than legitimate, well-intentioned or polite, but simply because they were repetitious (at least to me) or because they caught me at a bad time on the ride. Please consider this sentence to be my apology if you caught a curt answer from me as I hurtled by.
After the initial madness of my treatment, which saw my September effectively disappear (a strangely emancipating experience), my chemotherapy regimen has progressed in a manner that has allowed me to get out and about as an out-patient a little more, attending occasions as diverse as international and domestic fitba matches, the Mòd, a Land Reform Review Group advisers' meeting (yes, I am the bald one in the back row of a photo I was not planning to be part of), a lecture and a launch event at the University of Aberdeen and, most importantly, a family birthday. All of that getting about has to be a good sign, eh?
That crude analysis might have some merit, but I am loath to pre-judge anything. After my initial blog and some follow up coverage in Aberdeen's Evening Express newspaper, a few people asked me if I might be keeping some kind of treatment blog. My answer was a resounding "no", primarily on the pre-judging point just mentioned. Whilst the accepted (if paradoxical) wisdom seems to be that testicular cancer is a good cancer to get, and I might have cleared the rockiest part of the journey, I would hate to get anyone's hopes up unnecessarily (including my own). Further, I do not want to put any pressure on the fantastic staff at the ARI in the form of unwanted commentary from a supposedly learned amateur, commenting on matters that could somehow put a staff member's nose out of joint, even accidentally.
Standing all of that, readers of my blog and social media contacts do still ask me questions from time to time. Of course, I am delighted people want to know how I am getting on. Getting away from the hospital, and away from Aberdeen, has allowed me to see many other people keen to find out what the prognosis is, for which I really should have sorted out a sandwich-board to detail my stock answers to the most common questions. With that in mind, what follows here is my virtual sandwich-board.
How are you doing?
I am doing fine in the grand scheme of things. In fact, a not uncommon reaction of some people on seeing me has been to say "I am surprised how well you look," or similar. This is great, but it also makes me wonder how I looked when I did not have cancer and was not on chemotherapy. Perhaps most importantly, the medical staff are making positive noises about how I am getting on and I am happy enough to listen to them. I also understand my "blood markers" seem to be going in the right direction, but beyond that I will offer no more analysis or speculation.
How is the chemotherapy treating you?
Not bad. I have less hair, but my eyebrows are, or rather my monobrow is, intact. Basically, I am something of a Samson. My monobrow must survive: if a Delilah comes along I will be worried.
Moving to more serious analysis, in August I started the CBOP/BEP chemotherapy regimen. Each letter in the acronym stands for a drug: CBOP (carboplatin, bleomycin, vincristine (formerly known as oncovin) and cisplatin (with the P representing platinum, I think)); followed by BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin). Each drug has its own potential side-effects, as detailed by Macmillan's wonderful website, and for the time being I can unscientifically opine that I have dodged the ones I am being asked about the most, such as nausea, pain and ulceration. On the basis I have now met all the chemotherapy drugs that I am scheduled to meet in my treatment, I am optimistic that this will continue until the end of chemotherapy.
After that optimistic note, the pragmatist in me feels obliged to declare that the prevailing chemotherapy treatment for testicular cancer is a shorter course of bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin, a combination known as BEP chemotherapy. Given the stage of the testicular cancer I presented with, I was allocated to a more intensive chemotherapy regimen, meaning CBOP was bolted at the front BEP. So, this is still serious stuff and easily the biggest health issue my body has ever had to contend with. Again, I will offer no more analysis or speculation.
Any other side-effects?
General lethargy.
I have become more sarcastic and sometimes I repeat myself.
What is next in terms of treatment?
As at today's date, I am in week 10 of 15 of chemotherapy. Two of my remaining weeks are in-patient weeks, involving protracted intravenous infusions: this week and week beginning 18 November. In the other weeks I will just need to pop in and out of hospital for a quick blast of bleomycin, a process that does not involve an overnight stay. All going well, this leaves me due to finish chemo on 9 December or so. As an aside, it is worth noting Aberdeen play St Mirren at Pittodrie on 14 December.
And after chemotherapy?
Surgery of some sort, hopefully not in relation to my lymphatic system but it is a possibility. It is fair to say the offending bollock will have a bit of surgical attention as well.
I will also need to get my PICC line removed and my IVC filter wheeched out, both of which will happen under local anaesthetic.
Your whats?
PICC – Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter. This is a line sited in my left arm where all my chemo goes in, to be deposited in my superior vena cava (where the line ends), just above my heart. The PICC is playing havoc with my piping practice.
IVC filter – Inferior Vena Cava filter. This is to do with blood clots
Um, blood clots?
Blood clots are a whole other story. To be told once I get the all clear. (Note I have said "once", not "if". I am still fully of the mindset that this cancer is getting bossed.) I am self-injecting blood thinners daily to mitigate the effect of clotting: not a pleasant experience, but needs must.
Being in an interrogative epicentre is inevitable at certain times in your life. On happy occasions, it is fantastic to share your news. With less happy occasions, there are times when you really cannot be arsed. For the rest of my treatment, I will likely lazily point people to this blog when I am in that mood.
As for the immediate future, I suppose I had better continue on that rickety roller-coaster, which gives me a chance to conclude with the wisdom of Ginger Wildheart. As he sang in the delicately named track My Baby is a Headfuck, "no-one likes a long roller-coaster ride." I just hope I have got over the bumpiest bits of my long roller-coaster ride at the outset.
I can also confirm that this is as near as you will get to a "treatment blog" from me. No other medical blogs are planned until after my treatment is completely finished.
One last thing. Men: this is another reminder to check your testicles. If you can catch an earlier diagnosis than me, you might just avoid some or all of this rigmarole.

CLEVELAND -- Bridget Belgiovine, Wellesley College Director of Athletics and Chair of the Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics (PERA) Department has been named the 2019 recipient of the NADIIIAA Richard A. Rasmussen Lifetime Achievement Award. Belgiovine will receive the award next week at the NADIIIAA Summer Forum at the World Center Marriott Resort.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is named for University Athletic Association Executive Director and NADIIIAA founder, Dick Rasmussen, and is presented to athletic administrators who have dedicated their professional career to the advancement of Division III. This is the highest award given by NADIIIAA to individuals who best exemplify the leadership and service that has made a significant impact on DIII as demonstrated by Rasmussen during his tenure as an athletic administrator.
An energetic leader focused on the impact of sports and fitness, Belgiovine has impacted the lives of many students, coaches and administrators with her commitment to excellence on the field of competition and within the classroom. Belgiovine has served as Director of Athletics and Chair of the PERA Department at Wellesley College since 2006, overseeing all facets of a department that also includes a PE curriculum serving nearly 2,000 students each year, and a recreation program with events ranging from Dorm and Class Crew, to aerobics and Pilates classes, to fun runs. She has worked tirelessly to integrate the department and its programs more fully into the life of the college, stressing the importance of fitness and health in a strong liberal arts education. She announced her retirement earlier this year.
During Belgiovine's tenure at Wellesley, two Blue athletes have won NCAA Individual National Championships and the Blue have also claimed their first team NCAA National Championship (Crew in 2016). In addition, Wellesley teams have earned 18 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championships and made a combined 28 team appearances in the NCAA Tournament. In 2013-14, the Blue captured their first NEWMAC President's Cup, an all-sports award presented to the top overall men's and women's programs in the conference. That year, ten Wellesley teams participated in NEWMAC post-season play, as crew, field hockey and softball went on to win conference championships. Four student-athletes earned conference athlete of the year honors and three coaches earned coach of the year honors.
Belgiovine was formerly the Director of Division III at the NCAA with responsibilities that included coordination and support for the Division III governance structure. In that role, she was instrumental in the governance of Division III collegiate athletics and earned a national reputation as a visionary, energetic, and effective leader. Prior to the NCAA, she served as Director of Athletics at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, an NCAA Division III institution offering 19 intercollegiate athletic sports.

How PM Rojgar Protsahan Yojna (PMRPY) is impacting the life of rural youths in India
Written by Mr. SK Sharma, Advocate
For ages, unemployment has been a major concern for India and its youth. As per the data compiled by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) the rate of hiring is not increasing, and neither are the numbers of jobs being lost. However, according to government data, more than 1.2 crore Indians enter the workforce each year, which is a huge number. India is one of the youngest countries in the world has a sizeable number of unemployed youth.
Research says there are around 31 million unemployed Indians, continuously seeking but failing to get jobs.
The condition is even darker in rural India. These people, in search of jobs, will certainly migrate to cities, but most of them fail to find jobs and, thus, remain unemployed, leaving them with no choice but to stay back in their homes and help their families. To overcome this issue, Government of India started Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojna (PMRPY) in August 2016.
The scheme aims to incentivize employers for generating new jobs, where the GOI pays the employer's contribution of Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) for any new employment generated.
The success of this scheme, over the years, has encouraged the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs to approve its scope.
The government now contributes the employers' full admissible contribution for the first three years from the date a new employee is registered for all the sectors, including existing beneficiaries for their remaining period of three years, which was not the case earlier.
The scheme was able to add about 31 lakh beneficiaries to the formal employment, with an expenditure of more than Rs 500 crore. It pays the complete 12% employer share, which otherwise was only 8.33% in its starting phase.
Now, the government plans to pay the employer's Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) share of 8.33 percent and Employees Provident Fund (EPF) of 3.67% (12 percent in total) with effect from 1st April 2018 for all the sectors.
The scheme proposes to make it applicable to the unemployed semi-skilled and unskilled population which makes it a worthy plan.
Even this year's budget received Rs 1,652 crore for PMRPY, an amount higher than the revised estimate of Rs 500 crore than the previous year's budget.
Not only this scheme has increased employment generation but has also improved the ease of doing business across India. Besides, it has reduced the burden on the part of employers as s/he need not remit even 3.67% of employer shares than what used to be in the earlier norms.
The achievements hitherto, clearly indicates that PMRPY is doing well in the country. The government is taking all the concrete measures to create more employment opportunities, especially in rural India.
It is estimated that around 70 lakh formal jobs would be generated this year. Currently, the GDP is growing by 7.4%, backed by huge investments in the country's infrastructure. And with PMRPY, the more we create formal jobs, the more India will steer towards betterment.
It is not that India has less talent; the only concern is that people don't get the right jobs and the wages they aspire for. Due to low industrial productivity, youths are facing a job crisis. And, to alleviate this problem, PMRPY is a well-thought and practically feasible programme.
Hopefully, it continues to flourish, and Indian youth, especially among the rural populace, achieve what they deserve in the coming years.
The government of India is working progressively towards economic growth to provide jobs before going for the elections of 2019. Thus, this scheme can prove its sustainability and counter the limits of the current growth. It is paving a new wave of employment in the country.
The PMRPY has a dual benefit as it not only provides jobs to the job seeker but also gives the employer the incentive of increasing the employment base of workers.
It is a direct benefit to the workers as they could access to social security benefits of the organized sector. This plan targets the workers who earn less than INR 15,000 per month.
Thus, it would encourage employers of Small and Medium Enterprises and Micro Business to avail the benefits of this plan.
There is no doubt that the scheme will benefit a large number of unemployed youth.
If this problem of unemployment is curbed, it will not only help in the development of the country economically but also reduce social problems like crimes and suicides in the youth.
Mr. Sharma is specialized in industrial relations and labour laws for more than two and a half decades. He has very close association with Labour Laws Institute, a Charitable Trust, which organizes programme on Labour related laws
HE IS ALSO the Vice Chairman of Advocates Welfare Association and Justice (AWAAJ), President of Shakti Educational & Cultural Society, and the Hony General Secretary of the Association of Industries and Institutions registered under Societies Registration Act.

LTBI is diagnosed by a purified protein-derivative skin test or TST after excluding active TB disease. The typical cutoff point is 10 mm induration, but for HIV-positive patients, 5 mm induration is considered a positive reaction.
Newer Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved in vitro cytokine-based immunoassays for the detection of TB infection are being introduced (QuantiFERON®). This test does not cross-react with the bacille CalmetteGuerin (BCG) vaccine strain (an attenuated strain of M. bovis) or with other nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
Appropriate clinical specimens for diagnostic testing include sputum, bronchial washings, blood, morning-voided urine, and gastric secretions. The gold standard test to assess the presence of mycobacteria in a clinical specimen is culture on solid media, although this takes three to eight weeks to complete. Correct species identification and drug susceptibility testing then are conducted on the isolated organisms. Acid-fast staining of the clinical specimen is fast but less sensitive than culture and does not distinguish between different mycobacterial species.
NAAT based on PCR has intermediate sensitivity and identifies bacteria as members of the MTB complex but cannot distinguish between dead and living organisms; and drug susceptibility testing is not possible. The sensitivity and specificity of nucleic acid amplification is over 95% for AFB-smear-positive samples, but for smear-negative cases, sensitivity ranges from 40% to 77%. Specificity remains over 95%.

SARGENT, Fred M. 1873-1948
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 10/28/2016 at 17:58:35
Last Rites For Fred M. Sargent
Last rites were held Monday afternoon at the Coffman funeral home for Fred M. Sargent, who died at his home in New Paltz, New York, on August 4th.
The services were conducted by Dr. Theodore Lilley, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Cedar Rapids. Burial was in the family lot in the Grundy Center cemetery.
Casket bearers were Arthur Merritt, Lyle Metzgar, John Reynolds, John C. Stachour, Wayne Morrison and Leroy Vanderwicken.
Attendants from out of the county at the services were Mr. Sargent's daughter, Marion Lane, and children Billy and Sally Lane, New Paltz, N.Y.; Mr. and Mrs. Amor Sargent, Dr. and Mrs. Theo. Lilley, Cedar Rapids; Mrs. George F. Karch and Betsy, Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Graefe, Susan, Bill and Fred, Des Moines.
Fred M. Sargent, son of Captain Elbert M. and Mary E. Hartley Sargent, was born in Felicity, Ohio, August 11, 1873, and passed away at his home in New Paltz, New York, August 4, 1948.
Coming to Grundy Center in 1879, he attended the public school here and completed his course as valedictorian of the first graduating class in 1891. He continued his formal education at Iowa college, Grinnell, and at Harvard university, receiving degrees in 1895 and 1896. He began has career as an educator by teaching in the high school at Aurora and thereafter in several other Illinois cities. He became assistant superintendent of the Chicago public schools during the administration of Superintendent Cooley.
On June 28, 1906, he was married to Miss Lura Sanborn, a fellow-member of the faculty of the Chicago Normal School. To this union one daughter, Marian, was born.
The strain of teaching proving too great, he entered the business field, making his home for a number of years in Evanston, Ill.
The years 1933-1936 were largely spent in Grundy Center where he was a member of the staff of The Grundy Register. He removed to New Paltz in October 1936.
He is survived by his wife and daughter, and two grandchildren, William J. and Sarah Grace Lane of New Paltz, N.Y.; also by his brother, A. H. Sargent of Cedar Rapids. He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters, Mary and Grace.
He united with the First Presbyterian church of Grundy Center in 1887 and when health permitted engaged in church work in his several homes.
His life was characterized by abiding loyalty to his friends and consideration, especially, for those in trouble or of more advanced age. His keen mind was cultivated through extensive study and reflection, his ability and wide interests being nowhere so well exhibited as in interesting correspondence, almost to the date of his death.
He loved Iowa, and Grundy Center in particular, and was always interested in its growth and improvement, an evidence of the fact being the sharing of a large section of his choice library with the local public library.
By the wise use of his various gifts, "he being dead yet speaketh."
--The Grundy Register (Grundy Center, Iowa), 12 August 1948, pg 5

But Wil has a secret—one that could change everything. Although magic has been illegal for a century, she knows her ability could help her save her kingdom. But magic creates wraith, and the deadly stuff is moving closer and destroying the land. And if the vigilante Black Knife catches her using magic, she may disappear like all the others. . . .
The Orphan Queen delivers epic fantasy, perfect for fans of Graceling by Kristin Cashore, Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, and Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.

- Harley R. Beck, Jr.
The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Airman First Class Harley R. Beck, Jr., for outstanding achievement while participating in aerial flight as a Gunner of a B-26 attack bomber, 34 Bombardment Wing (L), Fifth Air Force on the night of 17 October 1952. Airman Beck displayed outstanding airmanship and gunnery skill while on an armed reconnaissance over the enemy's main supply route between Suan and Sokung in North Korea. An enemy convoy of twenty-five vehicles was sighted and immediately taken under attack in a series of bombing and firing passes. Airman Beck, utilizing superior marksmanship, scored several direct hits on these moving targets. These aggressive and highly coordinated attacks resulted in the destruction of five supply-laden vehicles thus depriving the enemy of vital supplies. By his high skill, courage and devotion to duty, Airman Beck has brought great credit upon himself, his organization, and the United States Air Force.

Buy 'Junk Funk': http://btprt.dj/29g8fVx
After releasing some of the biggest dancefloor drum n bass tunes this year on 31 Recordings and their own Deadcode Records, the mysterious Finnish duo are back and armed with serious warehouse drum 'n bass rave anthem – "Junk Funk".
Junk Funk starts off with eerie pads and rising rave sounds that build up to filthiest, sickest and probably the most disgusting drop you've heard this year. Rolling old skool breaks combined with modern razor sharp bass sounds, sick rave horns and chopped up vocals make this instant rewind when dropped at drum 'n bass rave.

Clear The Pipes And Let The Water Run With These Plumbing Tips
If you are first learning about plumbing, it can be a little overwhelming. Though like everything else, if you do a little research, learning, and take a lesson or two, you can pick it up fairly easily. Once you know what you need to do, you can be sure to be more informed about plumbing and have better information about doing it yourself.
You can easily fix noisy pipes. If pipes are exposed, you must anchor them. If these pipes are located in the floors, ceiling or walls, you are probably best calling a profession plumber to take over the project.
You need to insulate any pipes have exposure to outside elements to avoid them freezing. You should also keep the temperature in the home above freezing to avoid your pipes freezing. If the temperature surrounding these pipes is below the freezing point, your pipes could freeze. It could take some time in order for the pipes to thaw out so that you can have running water. The other option is the pipes may burst, which would result in significant repair costs and a mess to clean up.
Knowing what tools are what and the proper way to use them will make you much better at plumbing. Research the project you are going to attempt online, and read the manuals that come with the tools before you use them. Don't just blindly rush into a project. Plan each project so that you don't make costly mistakes.
Toilet discs and odor removers should never be used in your toilet. Both of these may help to eliminate odors from your toilet, but it can also damage the rubber parts of your toilet, causing it to not function probably, or even to break down completely.
If you have a clogged toiled with a lower water lever, and the plunger isn't working, try pouring in some warm water directly into the toilet. The water should go down, and you can pour another bucket of water if the toilet is still clogged.
If you encounter a
with your garbage disposal, resist the urge to reach in and fix it with your bare hands. Garbage disposals can be very dangerous, so take caution when fixing it, even while it's turned off. Troubleshooting techniques and schematics of your garbage disposal are available on the Internet.
If you have multiple plumbing problems, schedule all of them to be fixed together. It can be tempting to call a plumber each time you have a minor problem, but saving plumbing work for one time allows you to put money aside for the repairs. You'll save a ton of money by not having to pay a professional to come out multiple times, instead only paying them to show up once to handle different problems all at once.
You should make sure that the holes are not stopped up on the overflow. Overflow holes catch the excess water from an overflowing sink. They may not sound like a matter of great importance until you actually need them. When checking for potential problems and repairs, you should also remove obstructions from the overflow holes.
Use lots of cold water when you run your garbage disposal. Cold water helps to maintain the sharpness of the blades and makes the disposal run more smoothly. Using hot water will cause grease to liquefy and accumulate in the drain, which will cause clogs in your pipes.
To save a significant amount of cash on your energy bill, install energy-efficient shower heads in all of your showers. You use the majority of your hot water in the shower. Water-conserving shower heads are relatively affordable, but using them can save you a great deal of money within a single year.
If the hose that leads to your kitchen sink has not been maintained or installed properly, you may notice that water is constantly draining to the dishwasher. The hose at the kitchen sink going to the dishwasher should follow a specific uphill, then downhill pattern. This prevents unwanted mixing of water between the sink and dishwasher.
Now that wasn't so bad, was it? Just like other aspects of life, there is much to learn about plumbing. Sometimes you just have to figure out where to start to so that you have the ability to jump right in. With any luck, the tips above should get you on the right path.

How to Keep Your Lovely Garden From Becoming a Mess?comments (1) March 11th, 2016
Similar to many people who have a garden, I like spending time outside doing some gardening work, enjoying the fresh air or just sitting there and reading a book under the shadow of my favourite tree. And from my personal experience I can say that it is much more pleasant to do these things in a neat and tidy garden. However, that means a lot of work too. For a garden to looks beautiful, it has to be properly maintained - soil, flowers, grass, trees, bushes, everything. What's more - a lot of gardening work also means a lot of green waste - one more nasty thing to deal with. When it comes to weed, leaves and brunches, there are several solutions. You can get rid of the garden waste yourself. If it's you doing all the gardening work, this is nothing more than another job that just needs to be done. Or you can try composting. In case you rely on a professional gardener to take care of your property, ask if green waste removal is included in the offer. If not, you can always find garden waste removal service provided by a professional rubbish removal company. And done... clean garden in no time.
But... what about something that is not exactly under our control. There are some plants and trees that can turn your garden in a really big mess simply because of some specific features in their structure or nature. Avoiding them will save you a lot of time, efforts, nerves and probably money. Here is a short list with examples of such plants:
Native to Australia, this tree can be a bit of a maintenance nightmare due to its seasonal shedding of its bark. Large sticky branches are also known to suddenly drop off and come crashing to the ground. This could be a real life hazard.
As beautiful as it might be, the female variety of a gingko biloba produces some of the messiest and smelliest fruits of any tree. Often referred to us as a "trash tree", the smell of the distinctive fruits dumped by a female gingko is often compared to that of vomit.
Leyland Cypress
These trees grow very quickly. They also thicken well to essentially create a living privacy fence. Unfortunately, they require a great deal of trimming and maintenance to keep them healthy. The centre of the tree can become a dry, twiggy fire hazard.
Bradford Pear Trees
They can furnish your landscaping with colourful autumn leaves. However, these beautiful trees have a fatal flow: weak branches. You may end up losing your specimen to winter damage right after it comes into its prime.
Lombardy Poplar
These can be real eyesores in a landscape. The root systems, which are infamous for pushing up suckers, can be very difficult to eradicate. These roots can also damage drainage systems.
Trumpet Vines
You won't necessarily find trumpet vine on the lists of invasive plants. It's typically an exotic plan, which could be quite aggressive. Trumpet vine is, in fact, a very aggressive spreader.
Mimosa Tree
Native to Iran and Japan, the mimosa tree is a lovely, delicate-looking tree with fern-like foliage and showy, powder-puff-like pink blooms. Mimosa is susceptible to a serious wilt problem, as well as mimosa web worm. More significant to homeowners, though, is the fact that it is a prolific self-seeder, so you rarely have "just one" Mimosa. However, when the blooms (and the leaves and seed pods) start to fall onto the patio, they become a significant housekeeping issue.
Its delicious nuts are loved by many. That's why people find it handy to plant the pecan trees close to their houses. These also smell heavenly in a fireplace. On the other hand, the pecan tree sheds just about everything. They don't just shed twigs – some of the branches have the size of a small tree themselves. They deposit an absolutely incredible tonnage of leaves. The leaves are small, and will easily clog gutters. If you don't mind the damage to your roof from a fallen branch, or a garage full of leaves, pecan is an excellent choice. Ha-ha.
