Flower Power
Many moons ago, I decided to buy flowers for my wife as a surprise.
So while it was still dawn and my better half was still sleeping, I sneaked out of the house to purchase the blooms that would dazzle her as soon as she opened her eyes. You must understand though that I wanted it to be surprise. Thus, I could not buy the flowers the previous day because it would be impossible to hide it from the mother of my children. I also could not drive to a flower shop early in the morning because flower shops would still be closed.
I, therefore, had no choice but to buy the flowers from the wet market or "palengke" near our home. Our wet market at that time was not that developed. In fact, the parking lot in front of market was not paved and was often muddy. But the bigger reason why I wanted to buy the flowers from the wet market was that I could get the flowers at a fraction of what they would cost from a swanky flower shop.
So after buying multi-colored flowers spaced by baby's breath and wrapped in a clear plastic, as flower retailers in the wet market are not really experts in floral arrangements, I placed the blossoms at our bedside table, sure that it would be one of the first things that my wife would see when she woke up.
And it was a success. My wife was bright-eyed after she saw my surprise. I was sure to have a stress-free day then because as they say, a happy wife is a happy life. That was until my wife saw how muddied our car tires were. She then casually asked me where I bought the flowers.
Without thinking things through, I blurted, "sa paleng…flower shop!" Busted!
Flowers are flowers, no matter where they are bought. Perhaps the quality of the arrangement will be a dead giveaway as to how much was spent in acquiring them. But the message is clear. A gift of flowers for a mother not only symbolizes love for her but also the honor that is due her for being the beautiful guiding light of the family. After all, there is a saying in Filipino that goes, "ang mga ina ang ilaw ng tahanan."
By the way, my wife did let me have a nice day after all even with my cheap or shall I say inexpensive ways.
Here's to flower power for the mothers.

We're part of the blessing of God's new creation;
The world may not see it, but we know it's true.
For God in Christ Jesus has given salvation;
The old life is gone! God makes everything new!
We're part of the blessing, for we are God's children.
We're loved and forgiven! We're welcomed back home.
And now we are called to be part of God's kingdom,
To welcome the children God claims as his own.
A man had two sons and the younger said to him,
"I want my inheritance now! It is mine!"
His father divided the property with him;
That son spent it all and was soon feeding swine.
But then he remembered his father providing;
He thought he would beg to go home as a slave.
His dad saw him coming as he stood their waiting;
He ran out to greet him and welcome and save.
We're part of the blessing of God's new creation;
As we have been welcomed, may we share God's grace.
There's no room for grumbling in God's gracious kingdom;
There's no place to question God's loving embrace.
The outcast, the sinner, the poor, struggling mother,
The addict, the seeker, the one who is lost—
God welcomes them home and invites them to dinner—
God runs out to greet us through Christ and his cross.

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus ie it is transmitted from animals to humans and can also be transmitted through contaminated food or directly between people.
Flying foxes have been identified as the reservoir host of Nipha Virus. This often happens in the form of urine, feces, or masticated fruit covered in the flying fox's saliva.
Nipah virus was first recognized in 1999 during an outbreak among pig farmers in, Malaysia. No new outbreaks have been reported in Malaysia since 1999.
It was also recognized in Bangladesh in 2001, and nearly annual outbreaks have occurred in that country since. The disease has also been identified periodically in eastern India.
Nipah virus spread directly from human-to-human through close contact with people's secretions and excretions.
Infected people initially develop symptoms including fever, headaches,muscle pain, vomiting and sore throat. This can be followed by dizziness, drowsiness, altered consciousness, and neurological signs that indicate acute encephalitis. Some people can also experience atypical pneumonia and severe respiratory problems, including acute respiratory distress. Encephalitis and seizures occur in severe cases, progressing to coma within 24 to 48 hours.
The incubation period is believed to range from 4 to 14 days.
Currently, there are no vaccines available against Nipah virus.In the absence of a vaccine, the only way to reduce or prevent infection in people is by raising awareness of the risk factors and educating people about the measures they can take to reduce exposure to the Nipah virus.
Fruitsand Vegitables should be thoroughly washed and peeled before consumption. Fruitsand vegitables with sign of bat bites should be discarded.
Close unprotected physical contact with Nipah virus-infected people should be avoided. Regular hand washing should be carried out after caring for or visiting sick people.

Instead, the company is banking on a "debt-for-equity exchange" or the court protection that would result from bankruptcy. GM is currently burdened with $28 billion in debt and must prove to the government that it has restructured and is moving in the right direction on June 1. The CFO said GM will achieve this "in court or out of court," conceding that bankruptcy is "probable." He also expressed hope that the company will weather the storm and emerge a "viable entity," adding, "We're going to get this done."

- Maurizio Sarri has spoken for the first time on the two-window transfer ban given to Chelsea
- Chelsea were found guilty by FIFA for signing 29 players under 18 at Stamford Bridge
- Sarri believes the Blues will cope if the ban is upheld after appealing FIFA's decision
Maurizio Sarri who is the handler of Chelsea has explained the club will cope with the two-window transfer ban slapped on them by FIFA for breaching transfer rules.
The west London club is said to have signed 29 players under the age of 18 contrary to FIFA's regulations.
PAY ATTENTION: Become a member of the leading sports Facebook group 'Naija Football Fan Zone'
Chelsea have since appealed the decision, with the hope that the world football governing body will reverse the decision.
"I don't know very well the situation, but I know the club are working. So I think they can solve this problem. Maybe for this summer, maybe not. But they are working," ,' the Italian explained ahead of facing Tottenham on Wednesday night, February 27.
However, should the ban stand, Chelsea will not be able to make signing of any player until the summer of 2020.
Be that as it may, Sarri has exuded confidence the club will be able to endure the ban, revealing Chelsea will develop the existing squad.

"I don't know. But I think that, first of all, we need to improve these players. Because we cannot buy 20 players in the market because there aren't 20 players ready for Chelsea in the market," Sarri stated.
The Italian tactician is currently under immense pressure at the Stamford Bridge outfit after recording a string of poor results.
Chelsea currently sit sixth on the log with 50 points, two behind fifth-placed Manchester United.
They are in contention of the Europa League title having reached the round of 16 of the competition.
Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how embattled Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is reportedly set to have an urgent meeting with the club's board over his future after defeat against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
Sarri has been under serious pressure at Stamford Bridge even before the Blues travelled to Wembley to face Manchester City and the loss has added more salt to his wound.

Millions of people have paid a visit to Cabo San Lucas because of its year-round good weather and scenic beauty. Many return because they cannot get enough of these conditions, and yet many also crave a bit of luxury during their stay. This is why the impressive Villa Alegria is an ideal choice.

A pool room and media room are nearby, along with another bar, and marble columns along with wrought iron rails give the entire space an air of elegance and classic appeal. The enormous gourmet kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals and snacks, though the terrace barbecue is likely to become a favorite.

The master bedroom has a private terrace, Jacuzzi tub in the private bath, and a king bed. Another suite features a double bed and private balcony, and a third has a queen bed and private terrace. All of the bedrooms feature large and opulent baths.

Anti-Trans Bathroom Bills Have Nothing to Do With Privacy and Everything To Do With Fear and Hatred
But let's get real, these bills aren't motivated by privacy concerns — they're motivated by ignorance, misinformation, and fear.
I don't know why people defend a useless dangerous conduct such as homosexual/lesbian conduct & I don't know the apologism for transexuality which is surgically mutilating people with dangerous hormones to make them fake opposite sex members & they should make that illegal.
Main ideas of science and math are always the same (such as freezing temperature is 32 Degrees Fahrenheit & lower, 2+2=4) and with main ideas of science, unless new information is found which changes prior conclusion (such as in 1950s when they found a whale is a mammal not a fish as scientists first thought), the main ideas of science stay the same. I do not believe mainstream science/psychology in the 1960s to early 70s discovered anything new to change long held conclusions on homosexuality when they removed homosexuality from DSM in 1973. They have as said since 1973 become ideological on gay/lesbian topic. I don't deny possibility homosexuality could be genetic or inborn for some but that is unproven. Even if it's true that homosexuality is inborn for some people, homosexual/lesbian conduct would still be bad for health.
Homofobia is telling truths, theories and speculations which offend homosexual groups. While they have not conclusively proven homosexuality/lesbianism is inborn genes, homosexual groups often use this theory as definite by saying how they are born this way-which possibly can be the case for some but more studies are needed. But when facts are raised about the link between childhood sex abuse and a kid doing homosexual and lesbian activities in adutlhood, homosexual groups often get offended, condemn it as homofobia.
With homosexuality being found among animals, cannibalism, stealing, etc. are also found among them, so it's a bad idea to say that because animals do something people do. It's best for gays/lesbians to be celibate until cure is found for this. No gays, don't choose orientation, but they choose their sexual behavior.
Any facts which show homosexuality/lesbianism to be bad and put negative views on this is condemned. Homosexual/lesbian conduct is bad for health as smoking is and needs to be marginalized like smoking is. People who engage in homosexual/lesbian conduct have more medical problems caused by homosexual/lesbian conduct. I believe the negative views of homosexual/lesbian conduct is the right view because there is something wrong with homosexual/lesbian conduct and they must make it a crime to do sex changes. I know my view offends homosexuals, but most smokers do not get offended by negative views of tobacco use. So homosexuals/lesbians have to hear others give negative views of their sex lives, because there is something wrong with this just as there's something wrong with smoking.
Yes, it's a proven fact that childhood sex abuse is a major cause of homosexual/lesbian conduct in adulthood. Anybody who denies the link is dishonest, delusional or both. Never have I heard straights blame childhood sex abuse for reasons a man has sex with a woman and fathers children with her. Yet sometimes have heard gays and lesbians say childhood sex abuse is reason they do same sex behaviors.Any conduct can be learned and this includes sexual conduct. There are homosexuals and lesbians who say that childhood sex abuse (especially those who are victims of a gay priest) are reasons why they think they do same sex behaviors in adulthood. Had they not been repeatedly molested, would they have turned out straight instead of gay or lesbian? It doesn't take an expert to know that sex abuse in youth can mess up the mind and cause people to behave in ways they normally wouldn't. Of course, not all who are sexually abused in youth become gay in adulthood-but the risk is higher.
A kid can become a mugger by living in high crime neighborhood, seeing muggings in childhood and learning this conduct. Yes, there are muggers who were not raised in high crime neighborhoods but still became muggers, but that does not rule out other causes. Many emphysema victims did not smoke and were not exposed to 2nd hand smoke and got emphysema due to bad genes but it would be dishonest to deny truth that if a person smokes, he or she is more likely to get emphysema. Since homosexuals and lesbians (transexuals) often suffered childhood sex abuse, it's no surprise that homosexuals and lesbians think childhood sexual abuse is OK when it's homosexual activities.

You speak of science heavily in your post. Please provide some links to peer reviewed studies validating your claims because they are some very outlandish claims. Surely someone who is of rational mind would rely on empirical evidence and not anecdotal accounts to some to such a conclusion.

Photographed by Levon Baird, styled by Philippa Moroney, Vogue Australia, April 2019.
Here's how to create a blockbuster brand: design a line of dresses and separates that are wardrobe fixer-uppers; a peppy outfit refreshment with cheerful prints and a retro slant. But, still sensible enough in length – minis, midis and maxis with flattering slits – and cuts, so they fit properly and wisely thus eliminating the 'do-you-wear-a-bra-or-not?' dilemma.
Look, I know it sounds boring, but these practicalities are, well, useful – to use a word that is less oft come across in the world of of-the-moment cool fashion. And they're at a price point that will leave you enough change to purchase a new pair of shoes as well, a factoid that many brands quietly whisper rather than shout. It's obvious, really, when you think about it – simple enough from the outset. Right?
This is the formula Orlagh McCloskey and Henrietta Rix, the co-founders and co-designers of Rixo (a mélange of their names) pieced together when they started their brand in 2015. Formula might not be the right way to put it though; it seems to denote that they plotted and schemed to game the system, when actually they were designing for themselves but niftily made sure their label could sustain momentum and the yoyo-ing trajectory of fashion brands.
The pair bonded while studying fashion management at the London College of Fashion, where a tutor suggested they work together. Neither would have started a brand before meeting. "It was fate. We were so lucky," says Rix. "We're like sisters," comments McCloskey, who, like her business partner, has long dark blonde hair and is dressed in Rixo.
In Paris showing their new collection, they have rented a private apartment in Montmartre filled with taxidermy, gilt frames and dark wood. "It reminds me of home," jokes Rix, whose antique-loving mother would take her as a young girl to scout for new pieces to fill the house and whose taste has influenced her.
McCloskey and Rix share a love of vintage fairs, purchasing pieces for their pop-up store in London's Covent Garden (where the two designers take it in shifts to work the retail floor), or to use as props for Rixo's imagery. Customers have contacted the brand asking where the accessories used in shoots can be bought, so Rixo has now delved into designing handbags, belts, shoes and jewellery.
"We received millions of emails," says McCloskey. "From day one!" adds Rix with a laugh. "In the past we have lent our own stuff to people in London. We'd say: 'If you want to come and pick it up, you can wear it.'" Vintage pieces used to be sold on the website but "we couldn't keep up, so we thought, well, we'll make some things".
McCloskey grew up making her own clothes. She paints and sketches the vibrant prints, and closely studies fit, constantly tweaking signature designs to improve how they are worn based on her personal wear and feedback about the design from friends and customers.
"With the Camellia dress [long sleeved with a deep V-neck], customers were telling us it was too low so we've refit it four or five times to get it perfect. We're not precious." The waist placement may be moved higher or lower, the zips changed and sizing made more consistent. "I think a lot of people who design don't actually wear their own pieces," she says, quite bluntly, but softened with her tumbling Irish brogue. "And honestly, people don't know how to make things flattering, they really don't! I used to work in retail, and it used to drive me mad."
A sell-out sequin dress with blouson sleeves was designed so it doesn't require lining to keep it lightweight and allseason appropriate. "The blouson sleeves are so that you can wear it in summer so you don't have to put on this heavy sequin dress in the middle of winter," explains McCloskey. (One Vogue editor bought a sequined Rixo dress and wore it to a wedding; another bought the same one for the races and both have been fielding inquiries as to where it's from since.)
And as the two designers surmise together – what's the point of wanting to buy something that looks good on the hanger but doesn't live up to expectations when it's worn? "We want you to put it on and feel nice too – so then you need that dress, you need that top."
In Australia, Rixo is stocked at David Jones and boutiques like Adam Heath in Perth, Calexico in Brisbane and Mode Sportif in Sydney. Mode Sportif's founder, Deborah Symond O'Neil, discovered the label on Instagram. "Once clients wear one Rixo dress, they always come back for more," she says. "The prints and colours draw clients in, but it is the fantastic fit that makes it even more popular. Rixo recently launched a new collection with a campaign that featured mothers with daughters, which is exactly how our customers are buying their looks."
While they are open about their mostly 70s and 80s influence – the clothes are not facsimiles from that era. "It's about making it flattering," says McCloskey, who is charged with the design. Drawing on the 80s, big shoulder pads are reinterpreted with subtle pintucks, "creating that straight shoulder without that over-the-top look that makes you look really wide"
Late last year they unveiled swimwear, too. "We wanted gorgeous printed pieces that were good quality and affordable, but couldn't find any, so made some," explains Rix.
Rixo's debut collection was bought by Net-APorter, which is a rarity for a young label since major stockists often observe a brand for several seasons before committing. It immediately gave Rixo the impression of being global and larger than it is, even though the team is small. Their first appearance at fashion week was last September as a presentation with models a range of ages, including silverhaired Ann, who they met at their local gym.
"We have older women saying: 'Oh, I'm probably not your customer' and we're like: 'No, no, no!'" says Rix, explaining they have also found models on the street. "We don't want to be pigeonholed as a young Instagram brand," adds McCloskey.
Social media has been a defining force for the popularity of the brand. That's Rix's remit – if she can't sleep at night she'll look up the Instagram tags for Rixo to see how customers are wearing it and responds directly to Instagram direct messages. "Everyone communicates with us through Instagram now." In fact, after I posted a photo on the Rixo account of myself wearing one of their dresses, I was direct-messaged by people asking to buy it off me since that style had sold out. McCloskey notes the style of the dress. "Ah, we've brought the back in for this dress this season – it was too open before," she says, pointing out the dresses on the rack. After deliberating the offers to buy, I did end up politely declining – figuring the long-sleeved ruffled midi-dress had longevity in it yet.
"We have vintage pieces in our wardrobes that we love, and think about who first had it 30 years ago or more, so we want to be designing pieces like that – pieces you can keep and wear when you're older, or give to your daughter, and not have them fall apart," says McCloskey. "We want our pieces to be almost like a future vintage piece." To buy, to have and to hold.

Green Coffee Bean
Green coffee bean s are unroasted seeds of the plant Coffea Arabica. During roasting, the natural antioxidants in the coffee beans are removed, but as green coffee bean s do not go through this process, they retain their high levels of antioxidants.
Green coffee bean s are proven to significantly improve collagen and elastin production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles whilst also supporting the skin's structure to retain moisture for firmer, glowing skin.
Their high concentration of chlorgenic acid also reduces redness and puffiness associated with excessive sunlight exposure.
Green coffee bean s are also rich in fatty acids and esters including Arahidic Acid, Linoleic Acid and Oleic Acid, which moisturise the skin, stops sagging and reduce discolouration.

text: 'Why is there always one child who persistently plays with the door, who mixes sand with water or throws objects across the room? Can these repetitive behaviours, known as schemas, be useful in targeting children's next steps within the EYFS? Is there a way to use them to unlock learning in young children?' This is a practical handbook, explaining what schemas are and how to identify them. The chapters each revolve around a particular schema and feature case studies to discuss how that schema can be used to help children progress within the seven areas of learning, as outlined in the EYFS.

Analysis of an Interactive Technology Supported Problem-Based Learning STEM Project Using Selected Learning Sciences Interest Areas (SLSIA)
This paper reports an analysis of an interactive technology-supported, problem-based learning (PBL) project in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) from a Learning Sciences perspective using the Selected Learning Sciences Interest Areas (SLSIA). The SLSIA was adapted from the "What kinds of topics do ISLS [International Society of the Learning Sciences] members study"? (ISLS, n.d.). The SLSIA is applied to analyze a case study, the interactive technology supported PBL simulation in water quality project the River of Life. This analysis using the SLSIA provides STEM education stakeholders with a reflective framework in designing interactive technology supported environments for PBL in STEM, and a platform for initiating thoughtful discussions on research and development efforts.

Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes.
As with any journey, who you travel with can be more important than your destination.
I'm not popular, but I have GOOD FRIENDS. I'm not rich, but I have what I need. I may not be liked, but I know I'm loved.
The older you get the more you realize that it isn't about the material things, or pride or ego. It is about our hearts and who they beat for.
If you need me, call me. I don't care if I'm sleeping, if I'm having my own problems or if I'm angry at you. If you need me and if you need to talk to me, I'll always be there for you. no matter how big or small your problem is, I'll be there.
There's Always That One Person That Makes You Smile For No Reason.
Spend life with people who make you happy, not those you have to impress.

If you like buying food in bulk, it is definite that you will need a refrigerator in your house to store food. Nevertheless, if your refrigerator is not working properly, it risks spoiling the entire stored food and this could lead to wastage. Therefore, we have seen the importance of discussing refrigerator problems with you. You will need to hire repair services in the event where your refrigerator breaks down.
Chico Appliance Repair is always available to sort out your refrigerator issues. In most cases, we offer same –day repair services to these appliances. This is because we wouldn't want you to run into losses. We will make sure that your refrigerator is running again in no time.
This is an issue that is mostly caused by a broken door latch or closure or water inlet valve. Luckily, we are skilled in fixing refrigerators that are leaking. Our repairmen stock our vans with the entire repair parts before setting out for repair services. This allows us to complete our repairs the same day that you ask for them.
An ice maker that is not working is equal to useless. This is because it will not be of much help to you but repairing it would be important. Besides failing to make ice, a broken ice maker may be slow in making ice and at times it may produce smelly ice cubes. The cause of this problem is usually the temperature control in the freezer, broken water fill tubes or a broken water inlet valve.
With a refrigerator that is producing a loud noise, it may be annoying since it disrupts a peaceful environment. This is one of the major reasons why we get calls often to repair refrigerators that are noisy from our clients. The major reasons behind these loud noises are the condenser fan motor or the evaporator fan motor inside the refrigerator breaking down. Worry not. We will fix this issue for you.
If your dishwasher is not working please makes sure that you check if it is plugged in and all the circuit breakers are on to rule out the real issue. Nonetheless, they may not be a reason behind your refrigerator turning on but a broken compressor or the overload relay or the temperature control malfunction might be the reason why your refrigerator is failing. Call us when you experience such kind of problems.
Even though we do not repair water dispensers often, there are those times when we get calls from our clients asking for repair services for them. Therefore, if your water dispenser breaks down, don't worry because we will repair it for you in no time.
Temperature plays a significant role in the refrigerator. However, if your refrigerator becomes too hot or extremely cold you should be worried because it is an indicator that there is a problem. This problem might be caused by a broken air inlet damper or the temperature control, or the thermostat. We fix these issues too.
This is a problem that leads to leakage and condensation issues to your refrigerator. It is brought about by a broken door closure or latch that is broken. Also, this problem may lead to food spoilage as it causes the refrigerator to lose temperature. We carry gaskets, hinges and seals that we use to repair the doors of your refrigerator and in no time, your refrigerator will be running again.
