Many couples are so excited to get engaged but they just don't know how to begin planning a wedding. "Who do I call first?" "What happens next?" "How do I know who to hire?" There are many questions being asked, but few being answered. Well, our tip for you today is Number One: Set the Date. While this may seem obvious at first, it is a good reminder to start simple.
It is true. Occasionally we get phone calls from couples who are just so excited to book their videographer or cinematographer and photographer that they haven't even set the date yet. We like to help narrow it down and ask 1) Do you want an indoor wedding or an outdoor wedding? and 2) What season do you prefer? Most couples get married on the weekend so that family and friends can attend, so that narrows it down even further. Then, choose a few dates and make sure key people (like parents and best friends) can make it and Wah-Lah! You've set your date!
In some cases we have a few couples who need to change their date after they set it, due to unforeseen circumstances. As long as we're still available on your new date we don't have a problem with a date change, but at least setting it on the calendar is the first big step.
Mackey & Courtney came to us with their date ready to go and we had no problem booking a contract with them to set their date. View their wedding highlight here:

There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow Shining at the end of every day
Another early and surprisingly foggy start to the day as we were heading to Magic Kingdom. This was to be our first visit here since 2019. Barry & Ellie were also making their own way to this park today as well.
We all left the villa around 7.30am and caught the monorail together to the park at the same time. I like the fact for that for some parks you are allowed through the gates before official opening time and allowed to wander and take photos even if the 'lands' themselves are still shut to all but hotel residents.
The aim for us this morning (Barry & Ellie had a different plan) was to go to the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train when the rides all opened. By the time we got there it was already a 30-minute wait. I decided not to queue and instead found a table to wait for Karen & Neil almost opposite the exit to the ride.
The table was outside a café selling breakfast. The food looked not bad at all and nobody was complaining about the quality. I was just shocked again to see the number of Americans buying the trays of the Hot filled Croissants with tater tots, and then throwing most of it away. What a waste of food and money. Several times I felt like saying, can I finish that for you as it doesn't look like you actually touched it, but I didn't.
After about 45 minutes or so, Karen & Neil came back and were both really annoyed. The ride had broken down when they were over halfway through the queue. They waited a while and then gave up. They were grumpy (see what I did there?) they had missed the ride and wasted some precious early morning ride time.
I tried to cheer them up as we walked to Tomorrowland where we rode the Peoplemover. This is an unoffensive original ride which I still really enjoy.
Then it was our booked time through Genie+ to ride Space Mountain. Now to understand Genie+ which is a paid for version of the old Fastpass, you almost need a degree in Disney Studies. Fortunately for us, Neil knows exactly how to maximise the benefit from the extra cost we had apid and so we just let him tell us what we were doing when in each park.
Space Mountain was fine but, in my view, (and I will say this quietly) probably needs a major overhaul and by overhaul, I mean replacing.
We then used another Genie+ plus booking and went to Buzz Lightyear. I was thrashed by Neil. If it was done fairly, I would not have moaned, but he clearly had read up about a 'cheat' because within a few seconds he was over 100k ahead of me. Although he denied it, I could tell by the glint in his eye that he wasn't going to share his secret with me. I need to do some online research myself before we ride it again.
It was by now getting very hot and so we headed back to Main Street where we had our daily Starbucks stop. It took Karen ages to get the drinks and us a long time to drink them as they were very hot. Neil was not impressed with more lost ride time.
Then we went and rode Pirates of the Caribbean which was as much fun as always.
Karen & I were in need of another rest and so were pleased that Hall of Presidents was next on the schedule. Amazingly we managed to sit a few rows behind Barry & Ellie but Neil wouldn't let me call out to them. This is another attraction that should not really appeal to us being from the UK, but it always has done. It's also in a nice cool theatre which also helps a lot. This was the first time we had seen the Biden animatronic, which managed to remember all of the words he was supposed to say and didn't get lost on the stage – so it wasn't that true to life. I would love to see a UK version of all this with all our Prime Ministers, although they would need a much larger stage.
It was then time for us to have another cool down with a Dole Whip. We all had the strawberry version which was delicious and just what we needed and set us up for Thunder Mountain. This has always been a family favourite especially for Karen. Each time we come here then if she could only do one ride then it would be this. Even the potential pain from her holding on with her still recovering broken arm could not stop her. It was great fun as ever.
We decided to do one further attraction before leaving and chose Mickeys Philamagic. It had been a while since we had seen it and it made us all smile.
It was a long hot walk back to the car after the ferry ride across the lagoon. The car was like an oven and I could not touch the steering wheel. The weather was more like summer than we had come to expect in November.
Barry & Ellie were already back at the villa and in the pool when we arrived. We had some late lunch before I fired up the VPN to watch the match against QPR on Sky from Carrow Road. I quite enjoyed the game watching in the sun and having a half time dip in the pool despite the score ending 0-0. I thought I saw some improvement in the team performance, but time will tell.
Neil was keen on having a steak tonight so the three of us headed to Outback at The Loop whilst Barry & Ellie went back to Magic Kingdom. The service in Outback was not great tonight and it was very evident that they were very understaffed, but we enjoyed the food.
When we got back in the car it started to rain as we drove back to Disney to go to the Boardwalk. It got heavier and the forecast said it would be prolonged, so we abandoned and diverted back to the villa. We put the TV on as a storm hit overhead and knocked out most of the cable channels which meant we couldn't watch the World Series. Instead, we made Neil watch an episode of Shark Tank that hadn't been affected by the storm to his disgust. He was most disparaging about all of the people seeking investment.
I have just worked out this is roughly 23rd our visit to Florida (I have also been twice with work). That is 23 holidays of a lifetime which is still how we think of them. We don't take the trips for granted and know how lucky we are. Whilst I am starting to tire of all day park visits (and that's more down to age than the parks) I am still loving being here and everything to do with this trip. We love the climate and how relaxed we feel here. We already have one trip booked for next year and will probably book another as soon as we get our next air miles voucher.

It's been fifty-years since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated leaving an unfulfilled dream, a blueprint for humanity, a turbulent country, and a furious race of people behind. In these past five decades, Dr. King has been immortalized; hoisted up as an almost mythical being – a martyr of the Civil Right's Movement. Though history has painted Dr. King in a certain light, his closest friends and allies haven't forgotten the last few years of his life – years that were full of confliction and uncertainty.
In his searing HBO film, King in the Wilderness director Peter Kunhardt chronicles the last few years of the Civil Right's pioneer's life – a time where even his beliefs and doctrine toward peace and non-violence were tested. A week before the film's premiere I chatted with novelist, screenwriter, and professor Trey Ellis who served as an executive producer and interviewer for the project. For Ellis, it was essential to look back at Dr. King's life and legacy through the memories of those who stood by his side day after day. King in the Wilderness gives an alternative view of a man who stood in the midst of an increasingly unstable country, rallying for the end of racism, war, and poverty.
Ellis had been yearning for a project on Dr. King's life for some time, so when he heard that Kuhardt was putting something together at HBO, he jumped at the chance to get involved. "I talked to HBO a long time ago, but then around January of 2017 Peter approached me about this new take on Dr. King to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his assassination," Ellis explained. "We all decided that the later King, King in the Wilderness was the least told and also the most important for what we're going through today. So I was really excited, to come on board to do most of the interviews. Taylor (Branch) interviewed Harry Belafonte, Andy Young, and Reverend C.T. Vivian and I had the pleasure of interviewing the rest of them. We spent a year traveling around the country talking to real-life heroes for two to four hours at a time. Some of them were heroes that I knew, like John Lewis, or Jesse Jackson and others like Cleveland Sellers or Bernard Lafayette were people that I'd never heard of before, but once I got to speak with them, I was just so amazed by their strength."
Dr. King was killed in Memphis fifty years ago, but for many of his close friends – especially those who were present, the wounds are still very fresh. Ellis was acutely aware of this as he asked his interview subjects to chronicle Dr. King's final three years. "These are people for whom the death of Dr. King wasn't just a political act, it was really personal to them," Ellis stressed. "Of course I had to be very respectful of that. I would talk to them first generally about their happy moments and memories of Dr. King and what they wanted people who didn't know him, to take away and remember about him. Then once I got comfortable with them, and if they felt they were up for it, I asked them to walk us through their last memories of him. People like Jesse Jackson and others, they've kinda told that story … or thought about that story many, many, many times, but to get them at this late stage in their lives to talk at length about such a dark period I think was really emotional for all of us."
King in the Wilderness is so astonishing because much of the audio, footage, and photographs in the film have never been seen before. "Now that was amazing," Ellis exclaimed. "Peter watched all the news footage and just waded through hours and hours of footage, and then Jill Cowan our researcher and Chris Chuang, the writer were really super exhaustive in their research. That type of footage has just been incredible. We're just so lucky to find it, especially the Chicago marches. There was a lot of TV film footage, but they didn't even develop it. Therefore we have a lot of really pristine, never seen before footage of those Chicago riots. I was really pleased to have been able to contribute to the film by doing these interviews, but I think the archival footage and the way it's laid out contribute so much to the success of the film."
A great deal of King in the Wilderness focuses on Dr. King and Stokely Carmichael's relationship. The men marched side by side though they often had deeply conflicting views on how to move forward in the fight for equal rights. Dr. King's friendship with Carmichael is something we don't often see or hear about, which is why it was so important to highlight. "King … he was a little older than the Black power people, but he really welcomed them," Ellis explained. "Cleveland Sellers talked about how close he was with King, about how Dr. King married him and helped him when the when the draft board came after him. King understood how challenging non-violence was and how it wasn't for everybody. He understood the counter-arguments, and he was really patient. He and Stokely and Cleveland would talk hours into the night and not in a heated way, but really they got very, very close. I think the more that they discussed, the closer they got even though they didn't agree on the tactics."
Despite his legacy, King in the Wilderness suggests that we aren't remembering Dr. King nor honoring him the way that he intended. "That's the most important part of this film," Ellis reflected. "I think the day before (Dr. King) died he was never less popular among Black people — many of whom saw him as a sell-out. White people saw him as a communist; even his inner circle thought he'd lost his way. But the moment he was killed, everybody seemed to want a piece of his legacy. We're living in that kind of world today; we wondered what he'd have done if he lived. Well, he lived for three years past all of the big events that we remember him for. So we don't have to wonder what he would've done. He would've kept doing the work. I think that's the strongest part of the film — reclaiming King in his own words and the words of the people who knew him best. So many people had twisted his words."
As we look at our current political climate, it is easy to see how much progress has slowed, and how much farther we still need to go as a people and as a society. However, Ellis suggests that we expand our view. "I think it's complicated because we have and we haven't progressed," he reflected. "King had big dreams, but I don't know if he could've dreamt up the election of Obama. That seemed even beyond the realm of possibility. But on the other hand, a couple of years later to have Charlottesville and white supremacists rise up again, I think that is not so surprising. I think in some ways we've come lightyears, and in other ways, we haven't moved very far at all."
In his final three years, Dr, King focused not just on race, but also on the raging war in Vietnam, and the cruel effects of poverty. All three of these issues still deeply affect us today. "They're all linked," Ellis explained. "(Dr. King) would always talk about these triple evils of racism, poverty, and militarism. I think you have to fight them all at the same time. That poverty affects everybody — but racism — it's a scapegoat especially to divide poor whites and poor Blacks. Militarism is used to distract us from these two other issues, so I think that they're all connected."
Using the blueprint that Dr. King left behind, younger generations are rising up, and leading movements like Black Lives Matter and March for Our Lives. Considering our present time and the burden that falls on our leaders, the world may never know anyone else like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "(Dr. King) certainly suffered under the weight," Ellis explained. "Diane Nash, who is a fantastic woman and a legend in her own right talks about the need for us, all people, regardless of color, to not to hide behind leaders. We have to become our own leaders. I think that we're in a moment now where we can't wait for someone to save us from Trump and the rise of the right. We have to take it into our own hands. The way that those school children in the wake of the Parkland shooting didn't wait for someone to come and say, 'Hey, let's fix this.' They went out into the streets themselves. The Women's March; it was loosely organized, people just put out the call and people answered the call. I think we're in a world where we all have to move forward and we all have to be leaders."
King in the Wilderness premieres Monday, April 2nd at 8 PM ET on HBO.

SUKKUR: Activists of Jeay Sindh and some other nationalist parties torched copies of Dawn newspaper outside the press club here on Sunday in protest against a report on the newspaper's website.
Dawn.com usually carries reaction and comments of readers on reports about different events.
Because of the torching of Dawn's copies the newspaper could not be distributed in Sukkur and adjoining areas on Sunday.
Leaders of major political and religious parties, trade bodies and journalists' organisations have condemned the incident.
Meanwhile, in Jacobabad journalists held a demonstration against manhandling of a journalist in Hyderabad.
Farooque Tabassum, a reporter of a private TV channel, was allegedly roughed up at the office of the CM's Initiative for Hepatitis Prevention and Control Programme in Hyderabad a few days ago when he was working on a report on the programme.
The protesting journalists marched on different roads and held a sit-in outside the press club.
Addressing the protesters, District Union of Journalists chairman Ghulam Hyder Magsi, president Pervez Ahmed Abro, Mohammad Nawaz Solangi, Mukesh Kumar Ropita and Bakhshan Lahar condemned the incident and urged the government to take action against people involved in the incident.

Next Adobe Priemiere Elements or Vegas Movie Platnum?
I received a survey by Adobe asking for some help on their products. From what I got on the survey...
I'm hoping that Adobe will be offering HDV support, better rendition times, and direct to flash support for video. Has anyone else had the same requests or have made suggestions to Adobe for such support? I loved Adobe Primiere Elements but moved to Sony Vegas because it offered HDV support at a resonable price. I have to say that I really love Vegas! I would probably buy the combo pack with their next Elements package but than again, I'm thinking Vegas will have something coming out soon as well. Anyone know on Vegas Movie Platnum updates? Time for speculations. |

1.Which is the least grade/level must one posses to join this training?
2. Is there any fee waiver for those who can't raise all the fees?
Thank youOctober 18, 2022 at 10:50 am #56223Jonell – Epic StaffKeymaster1. You need to finish at least high school or secondary education.
2. We encourage you to evaluate financing options. Once training has started, it's best not to have any interruptions. Stopping and starting your flight training costs much more in the long run, because your skills and knowledge become dull when you are grounded while saving up funds to fly. It is more cost and time-efficient to have your flight training funds readily available so you can train without interruption.
Unfortunately, scholarships and financing are not available for international students at this time. But we do have a section with suggestions to help you secure funding for attending Epic Flight Academy. Please check here: https://epicflightacademy.com/flight-school-financing-international/
Best of luck!

Seeking work-family balance? Discover essential parenting tips for busy working parents
Finding balance between work and parenthood can be challenging. Here are some essential tips to help working parents navigate this dynamic juggle successfully.
Work and family responsibilities must coexist in a challenging fashion, making the life of a working parent dynamic and stressful. Success in both spheres requires thoughtful planning and consideration. Job and family obligations must be carefully balanced in a working parent's life. The dynamic and sometimes overwhelming nature of balancing career aspirations with the needs of young children requires careful consideration and thoughtful planning. These expert tips will direct working parents towards a peaceful and rewarding existence, from choosing a dependable preschool or daycare to ensure quality time at home, creating interactive family activities, involving little ones in daily tasks, and mastering time management. (Also read: Tips for working parents to manage preschoolers during holidays )
Pankaj Kumar Singh, the Managing Director of Cambridge Montessori Pre-school and Daycare, shared with HT Lifestyle his insights on the journey of a parent of preschoolers. He says, "The path of a parent with preschoolers is a delightful and enriching adventure. You can navigate the challenges with joy and effectiveness by integrating the considerations of setting clear boundaries, prioritising self-care, fostering effective communication, involving children in responsibilities, and mastering time management. Finding a balance between work and family is an ongoing quest that requires patience, adaptability, and self-compassion. "
He added, "Embrace the little joys and learn from each experience, celebrating every milestone, no matter how small. As a parent, you have the power to shape both your professional path and the cherished moments with your preschoolers. Establish clear boundaries, prioritise self-care, communicate openly, involve your little ones in age-appropriate tasks, and manage time wisely. Remember, it's about finding harmony amidst the beautiful interactions and responsibilities of raising preschoolers. Embrace this journey with resilience and unwavering determination, knowing that success lies in nurturing both their growth and your own fulfilment."
Here are the five key factors that working parents should keep in mind in order to achieve serenity, happiness, and a feeling of balance.
Pankaj Kumar Singh suggested five essential tips that serve as a valuable guide for both parents and their preschool-age children.
1. Prioritising quality time at home
Despite a hectic schedule, making time for your family at home is important. Make a place specifically for connecting and bonding, and engage in activities that encourage conversation. These times, whether they involve playing, reading, singing, or meaningful talks, can deepen your family's relationship and give your kids a sense of value and affection.
2. Choosing a reliable daycare
Choosing a trustworthy daycare is essential for working parents. Consider elements like safety procedures, a loving atmosphere, qualified personnel, and interesting activities as you investigate and tour several nursery alternatives. While you concentrate on your job obligations, a decent creche facility will offer your child a secure and educational environment.
3. Effective time management
Working parents who want to balance their personal and professional obligations must learn effective time management skills. Set reasonable expectations for both areas, prioritise your work, and carefully arrange your calendar. Give work, family activities, and personal needs their own time slot. When unanticipated circumstances happen, be flexible and don't be afraid to seek assistance or modify your plans.
4. Getting kids involved in daily tasks
Getting kids involved in daily tasks fosters a feeling of accountability and community. Assign jobs that are suitable for their ages, such as feeding pets, watering plants, or organising their toys. By including kids in these activities, you not only reduce your workload but also foster a spirit of cooperation and collaboration among family members. They learn important life lessons from it, and it instils responsibility in children from a young age.
5. Using games to create interactive family time
Including interactive games and activities in your family time may be a source of happiness and connection. Laughter, cooperation, and healthy competitiveness are fostered via board games, puzzles, and outdoor activities. By participating in these activities, you may help your kids improve their social, communication, and problem-solving abilities in addition to their enjoyment. Enjoy spending time as a family playing together.

A Comparative Study of Different Acids used for Sandstone Acid Stimulation: A Literature Review
Access Status
Show full item recordCitation
Source Title
Source Conference
© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. Matrix acidizing is an effective well stimulation technique, in which acids are injected at a pressure below the formation fracture pressure. The application of sandstone matrix acidizing has been widely used in the oil and gas industry for many decades. The application of mud acid, which is a combination of Hydrofluoric acid and Hydrochloric acid (HF:HCl) in well stimulation, has gained its popularity in improving the porosity and permeability of reservoir formation. In fact, this is driven by the effectiveness of HF in dissolving minerals in sandstone and HCl in controlling precipitation. Nonetheless, high temperature matrix acidizing approach is in growing need since many wells nowadays are producing from much deeper and hotter reservoir, with a temperature higher than 200°F. In such conditions, mud acid causes rapid reaction rates, hence becoming less efficient as the acids are consumed too early. Furthermore, mud acid is hazardous and very corrosive. On the contrary, previous studies had shown that Fluoroboric Acid (HBF4) and Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) offered numerous advantages in comparison to the conventional mud acid. HBF4can hydrolyze to form HF whereas H3PO4acts as a buffer acid; which is able to penetrate deeper into the formation before spending. Likewise, both acids cause more increase in the permeability, less change in the strength of core samples and significantly less corrosive. This paper had critically reviewed the experimental works which had been done on different types of acids. The advantages and disadvantages of these acids are evaluated. Therefore, a new acid combination (HBF4:H3PO4) is developed and the future work which can be done on it is proposed.

July 1st marks the two-year anniversary of the start of the 2011 Pelican Bay hunger strikes protesting indefinite solitary confinement and SHU conditions. The hunger strikes, each lasting three weeks, ended after CDCR agreed to negotiations with hunger strike representatives over their demands. In late 2012, the CDCR implemented a pilot program to release those held in the SHU on gang charges. Prisoners and their advocates have denounced the program for keeping the most objectionable aspects of the old program and expanding qualifications for SHU placement. Prisoners are calling for a hunger strike to begin on July 8, 2013, vowing not to eat until their demands are met.My entire article is here: http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/17425-pelican-bay-two-years-later-tho..."A lot of people aren't aware that thousands are buried alive in solitary confinement cells in this country's prisons - for no legit reason," Todd Ashker reminded Truthout in a recent letter. Ashker should know - he has been locked in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) in California's Pelican Bay State Prison since 1990 after confidential informants claimed he was a gang member. In the SHU, which comprises half of Pelican Bay prison, people are locked into their cells for at least 22 hours a day. Prison administrators place them in the SHU either for a fixed term for violating a prison rule or for an indeterminate term for being accused of gang membership. These accusations often rely on confidential informants and circumstantial evidence. Hundreds have been confined within the SHU for over a decade. Until recently, the only way to be released from the SHU was to debrief, or provide information incriminating other prisoners, who are then placed in the SHU for an indeterminate sentence.

If you visit the Florida Keys, you'll discover some front yards there look like a sub-tropical jungle! You may see folks outside watering, pruning, transplanting, and maintaining their personal paradise.
When all is said and done though, the plants that require the LEAST amount of maintenance are often the ones most people notice first. Air Plants!
Many people react with utter amazement to see these plants thriving with no soil! And their first question after hearing the words "Air Plants" is often… "What are Air Plants… do they really grow with just air?"
For many, the concept can be hard to grasp! We all learned in grade school that to grow a plant, we stick a seed in the soil, water it, and wait. We even did it in Science class with a bean seed in a paper cup! But Air Plants are not your typical Science class experiment!
So, what are Air Plants and do they really grow with just air??? In this article, your curiosity is going to be satisfied! Almost all Air Plants are Epiphytes, meaning they are a plant supported by another plant AND they need more than just air to grow. Let's take a look at these amazing beauties. We'll discover the "who, what, where, when, and HOW" of all things Air Plants!
Are Air Plants Real Plants?
Air Plants are alive. They grow, some bloom, and they have "pups" (off-shoots that can be separated into new plants). Additionally, Air Plants can die! And so I can personally assure you, Yes, Air Plants are real plants!
Are Air Plants Parasites?
By definition, a parasite causes some sort of harm to the organism it attaches itself to. Air Plants use other plants, trees, bushes or shrubs strictly for support. The are nonintrusive and noninvasive. They would better be described as symbiotic than parasitic.
Who Can Grow Air Plants?
You can! Air Plants are low maintenance, inexpensive, and thrive when they receive the proper amounts of sunlight and water. This makes them an ideal solution for those who do not proclaim to having a "green thumb". Simply start small, find where they do best in your home (mine love my kitchen window) and then grow your collection as large as you like!
Where Do Air Plants Grow Naturally?
A sub-tropical to tropical climate is where you'll find Air Plants growing naturally. The south-eastern section of the United States boasts several varieties of these beauties! Air Plants also grow naturally in northern Mexico, Mesoamerica, and the Caribbean to mid-Argentina. We even have them right here in central Florida!
When Do Air Plants Bloom? Seasonally?
Air Plants are perennial, meaning they live longer than two years. They are year-round plants, and not seasonal. The varieties of Air Plants that do bloom, often bloom as their life-span reaches its end. The blooms then give way to seeds, and new plants grow from them.
The History of Air Plants
No one can say when the very first Air Plant was "discovered". Likely, they have been around since the beginning of all plants. We do know, though, that the genus Tillandsia was named by Carl Linnaeus after the Swedish physician and botanist Dr. Elias Tillandz who lived from 1640–1693.
The Science of Air Plants
Tillandsia is the genus of Air Plants, and Bromeliaceae, the family. As mentioned earlier, most Air Plants are Epiphytes, meaning that they support themselves on another plant. Some, though, are Aerophytes that can rest on telephone wires, poles, and even bare rocks!
How Do Air Plants Photosynthesise?
Photosynthesis occurs through a method called "Crassulacean Acid Metabolism", or CAM Photosynthesis, for short. This means they close their stoma (pores) during the day for water-loss prevention and open them at night. At night when the stoma is opened, the Air Plant processes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.
How Do Air Plants Receive Nourishment?
The main difference between Air Plants and soil-grown or hydroponic plants is that Air Plants have special cells in their leaves that collect and process ambient humidity, instead of drawing water up through their roots.
Air Plants also collect and utilize decaying leaves and insect matter through trichomes, the small "hairlike" structures we see on them.
How Do Air Plants Reproduce?
Like all plants, Air Plants reproduce by pollination and seed formation. They are not self-fertile, however. Pollination comes from other plants within the same species.
When you see "pups" shooting off the main plant, you can safely remove them with a quick scissor-snip. Voila! You now have two Air Plants (or more).
Do Air Plants Have Roots?
You may be surprised to learn that YES, many Air Plants do have roots! But don't be fooled into thinking you can plop the roots in some soil to grow them! Roots on an Air Plant serve a completely different function than "regular" plant roots.
Roots on an Air Plant work more like physical support structures than feeding systems. In fact, you can trim the roots off without damaging the plant at al lIf you purchase your Air Plants, the seller has most likely already trimmed off the roots.
Do Air Plants Need to be Watered?
Often, Air Plants growing outside your home will collect all the moisture they need from the atmosphere and occasional rains. However, during dryer seasons, they will benefit from you watering them.
You will absolutely need to water Air Plants that grow indoors, though. There are two different methods for watering Air Plants:
- A Spray Bottle- A good spritzing every second or third day will do.
- Submersion in Water- A 15-minute soak twice a week is common.
HELPFUL TIP: Air Plants respond best to rainwater. Tap water can have additives (like chlorine) that are harsh toward their delicate nature.
Should Air Plants be Fertilized?
Generally, you will find that most Air Plants thrive with no fertilizer at all! Sometimes the solution to growth problems is solved simply by adjusting the amount of sunlight the plant is receiving or changing your watering method or schedule. However, in cooler climates and in homes where good lighting can be scarce, you may want to add fertilizer to your plant care regime.
It's likely that not many plant nurseries stock fertilizer specifically for Air Plants, but some do. I found a high-quality, low-cost option right on Amazon! Here is a link so you can grab some, too!
DANGER WARNING: Some fertilizers contain Zinc and/or Boron. Both of these are toxic to Air Plants! Be sure to buy fertilizer formulated for Tillandsias or Bromeliads!
Where Can You Buy Air Plants?
If you live in one of the areas where Air Plants grow naturally, you'll be able to buy them locally at plant nurseries or even in the supermarket! If this is not an option, a simple online search will reveal a plethora of sources from which you can purchase these lovely and interesting plants.
You'll be pleasantly surprised by how well they ship, just be sure to water them and get them into the light as soon as they arrive! As a precaution, before ordering online, review the return policy of the seller, and their satisfaction guarantee.
I got a variety pack of Air Plants right on Amazon! I was highly satisfied with them, and would recommend them to anyone! Just follow the convenient link below to get yours!
Can Air Plants be "Planted" in Containers?
Absolutely! Part of the fun of owning Air Plants is getting creative in their presentation! Express your style, fit Air Plants into your decorating theme, go wild! Just ask yourself a few things before committing your Air Plant to a container or display!
3 Things to Consider About Air Plant Containers
- Will the Air Plant receive sufficient lighting?
- Will it be easy to water the Air plant?
- Can the material of the container harm the Air Plant?
GOOD TO KNOW! Calcium, Rust, Copper and Cold Temperatures can kill an Air Plant! Use caution when choosing how you'll display yours.
I hope you've found this article helpful, and that you are as excited as I am to add these lovely and real plants to your home or garden!
Are Air Plants Helpful to the Environment?
Air Plants have a significant effect on the microenvironment of their host, and of ecosystems where they are abundant. They hold water and decrease water input to the soil. Some Air Plants, such as lichens and mosses, have the ability to take up water very quickly. Air Plants create a significantly cooler and moister environment.
Are Air Plants Poisonous to Children or Pets?
There are no varieties of Air Plants that are toxic to humans or pets. If one gets nibbled, it will do more harm to the plant than the nibbler!
Want to Learn More?
If you're ready to get started with some Air plants of your own, I've written a complete guide for you to have the best experience possible! I invite you to read "How to Keep Air Plants Alive" by following this convenient link. Happy Gardening!

52nd UM-NUS Inter-University Tunku Chancellor Golf Tournament 2023
The National University of Singapore and University of Malaya rekindle longstanding and resilient ties post pandemic
Singapore, 5 June 2023 - After a three-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 52nd UM-NUS Inter-University Tunku Chancellor Golf Tournament is set to take place again on 6 and 7 June 2023, where the National University of Singapore (NUS) will celebrate and reaffirm its strong and longstanding ties with the University of Malaya (UM). On 6 June 2023, Madam Halimah Yacob, President of the Republic of Singapore and NUS Chancellor, will travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in conjunction with this annual tournament. President Halimah will be accompanied by officials from the President's Office and the National University of Singapore.
The UM-NUS Inter-University Tunku Chancellor Golf Tournament 2023 will see 80 golfers from NUS and UM competing for the Tunku Chancellor Cup. Mooted with the aim of fostering goodwill between NUS and UM, the first edition of the tournament was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1968. The tournament is hosted alternately by UM and NUS, with this year's edition taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
UM Chancellor, His Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, the Sultan of the State of Perak, will host this year's tournament which will be held at The Mines Resort and Golf Club. The golf course was designed by the renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. NUS President Professor Tan Eng Chye and Vice Chancellor of UM Professor Dato' Ir. Dr. Mohd. Hamdi Abd. Shukor will also be present at the tournament.
About UM-NUS Inter-University Tunku Chancellor Golf Tournament
The inaugural UM-NUS tournament was held in 1968 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as an expression of the strong relationship between senior leaders of both universities. Since then, the tournament has been hosted alternately by NUS and UM. The annual tournament serves to renew the strong bonds of friendship and foster new relationships between faculty members, staff and alumni of both universities.

Proposals to extend maternity leave by three more months and give fathers one month paternity Leave
Proposals to extend maternity leave by three more months and give fathers one month paternity Leave
The Tripartite Committee formed to handle the paternity leave proposal has concluded its work.
The final draft of the proposal will be presented to the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations for onward submission to cabinet and to Parliament for approval.
Executive Secretary of the National Labour Commission (NLC), Ofosu Asamoah who announced this, explained that the Committee made up of the Labour Unions, the NLC, and government officials proposed either a week or one-month paternity leave period while asking for maternity leave to be increased to six months from the current three-month period.
The Tripartite Committee received proposals from unions requesting paternity leave.The unions further requested an expansion of the maternity leave from three months to six. The committee has concluded all deliberations and is ready to forward proposals to the cabinet for a review.
The committee would present the final draft to the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations for onward submission to Cabinet and to parliament. The Executive Secretary of the National Labour Commission (NLC), Mr Ofosu Asamoah hinted that before it goes to the Minister, the committee would organize stakeholders' engagements and solicit the view of all including women, and the media.
Already, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Madina, Francis-Xavier Sosu, is sponsoring a private member's bill proposing an amendment to extend maternity leave from three months to four months. The bill was introduced in Parliament after it was submitted to the Clerk-to-Parliament on Friday, October 6, 2023. The bill, which is seeking to amend the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), is also proposing an option for an additional two weeks of maternity leave in the case of a caesarean section (CS), stillbirth(s) or multiple births.
The Labour (Amendment) Bill, 2023, also known as parental leave for all, is also pushing for the introduction of paid paternity leave for men for a minimum of seven days and a maximum period of four weeks, with the option of an additional two weeks in case of caesarean, stillbirth(s) or multiple deliveries of spouse and to provide for related matters.
It is aimed at allowing new mothers adequate time to give birth, exclusively breastfeed, care for and bond with their new baby, as well as recover before returning to work. The essence of paternity leave is to enable men to take care of their wives and assist the new mothers with domestic chores.
