Jide Alakija: "Nigerians are a very celebratory people who love vibrancy and beautiful noise."
If you are on Facebook and Twitter, then you are no stranger to the work of Jide Alakija, who in my opinion is photographer extraordinaire. Whenever I need to escape and find a place to dream, I go to his website. Alakija documents marriage ceremonies and other events but don't call him a wedding photographer. His images tell a story and that makes him a storyteller. It is rare to find a photographer who weaves a narrative that transcends cultures, race and breaks the language barrier the way he does. In my opinion, you don't have to be Nigerian or African to get the story that his pictures tell. However, commercial photography is not all Mr Alakija does. His black and white portfolio is a favourite of mine because it fuses art and passion. In recent weeks, he has been busy with his first solo exhibition at the Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos. Aptly titled Owambe, Aso-Ebi and the Politics of Dress, it explores the visual aesthetic and political proprieties of a 'particular thread' within Nigeria's diverse cultures. In this instance, the Yoruba culture and its 'larger-than-life' wedding celebrations. So, what does Mr Alakija think of his fellow country men and women, and their style of celebration?
Belinda: What attracted you to photography?
Jide Alakija: When I completed my first degree in Mechanical Engineering I was asked to carry on further study in a post graduate research degree in Biomechanical Engineering. During the course I started photography as a side hobby. My PhD colleagues bought cameras of their own and encouraged me to join in with them as they noticed that I had a keen appreciation for photographs especially those taken by many great photographers of our day and in the past (eg. Sebastao Salgado, Henri Cartier –Bresson).
Belinda: Is this your first exhibition?
Jide Alakija: This is my first SOLO exhibition. Up until now I have participated in group shows.
Belinda: Elaborate on the concept behind the exhibition?
Jide Alakija: The exhibition mainly focuses on the issues and aspects of dresses worn in Nigerian "Owambe" parties. I have on display images from the various weddings I have covered from my commercial portfolio of the bride, groom, their families and their guests at these events. The idea is to start the discussion around the politics behind the whole idea of wearing this patterned attire we call Aso Ebi.
Belinda: What do the portraits which form part of this exhibition mean to you and what's the story/stories about Nigerian culture, the way they celebrate weddings that you want these portraits to tell?
Jide Alakija: The portraits represent the richness in the culture of the people in Nigeria. I have never ever seen anything like it in any other part of the world. The consistency of the vibrant colours exhibited at the weddings couple with their choice of Aso Ebi is contrary to what is usually termed "a highly disorganised" environment. It is quite fascinating.
Belinda: Your work means you travel a lot. How does photography and the life of an adventurer shape the images and stories that you tell with your lens?
Jide Alakija: The world is littered with places that have interesting stories. These stories have been influenced by both the communities and the environment over the years. I'm interested in images that are dramatic and show the vast variation exhibited by our world.
Belinda: What lessons or new insights have you gained about life in Nigeria, its people, its cultures and traditions have you gained based on the work you do especially, weddings which is a big deal on that side of at he Atlantic?
Jide Alakija: On the up, Nigerians are a very celebratory people who love vibrancy and beautiful noise. They love expression in almost every form available. They provide a very good canvas to make dramatic images. Conversely they do not do compromise very well. Therefore there is a lot of stress and strife between and within communities. It's important to understand this fact when dealing with Nigerians.
Belinda: What points of discourse or points of dialogue do you want the portraits in this exhibition to evoke in those who come to see it?
Jide Alakija: Aso Ebi is a very strong symbol of Nigeria and now West African culture. It has been used to demonstrate togetherness and a feeling of belonging. This is exhibited in the Aso Ebi worn not only in parties but also at protest marches demonstrations. It's also worth noting that Aso Ebi can also induce political pressures on those who feel they have to purchase it as part of their support for that togetherness. Sometimes the Aso Ebi can be worth a lot more than they can afford.
Belinda: What are your expectations as regards this exhibition?
Jide Alakija: I hope that the exhibition will get people to think differently about wedding photography and accept it a genuine art form.
Belinda: what has the response to the exhibition been like so far?
Jide Alakija: So far it has been amazing, the young and old generation have shown interest and this is not usual in Nigeria. Most exhibitions have been attended by peoples of one generation only.
Owambe, Aso-Ebi and the Politics of Dress is at the Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos, until 3 December.

If you want a park binding, and your under 150 pounds, and you want something thats light but strong, check these out.
Has performed well, I have the non-lifter version on my ar5's and it has a nice and low profile, you feel like your sitting right on the ski which is alot better for park. Great binding.
Like the dildo design, looks sharp, and just feels solid.
Retail is a bit pricey for this binding, but since the pivots are older now, theres deals for them all the time, defintly worth the cash.
Pivot design is great for your park skis, gives you a little bit more time before you release. Bindings were fine for my weight(145), released when I wanted to, stayed in when I wanted to, no complaints.
Have held up great, the only issue is that the pivot seems to be getting a bit looser, not sure how that will effect performance, but thats the only thing durability wise I have noticed.

The car sum up at 12000 kms
Quick recap first.
Priorities change and the need of the hour was an economizer, so the short listing started to replace the great 1.6 L iKON. The obvious upgrades (sedans) were lined up for test drives and the one that passed the test was Fiesta diesel, but sadly over my budget allocation. Financing had become dearer thanks to the economy and Excel sheet reminded hand to mouth existence once the car and house emis took over.
So back to calculations, this is when I stumbled on the news that the much awaited muti-jet fiat engine hitting shores. Having already spent couple of 1000 kms with a petrol swift, was convinced on the capabilities of the chassis. After a quick test drive the decision was made to go for the Diesel Swift. Banker also would be happy since budgets somehow fell in place without the need for a loan for the car with some cost cutting measures for a month or two.
Got the car delivered in April and its going to be 6 months since then and story so far http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/long-t...swift-vdi.html
To summarize on the car after around 12,000 kms.
Great chassis / Handling: With shift to 195-65-14 tyres on alloys, its really a joy to drive, yup the steering is lil tight at slow speeds but nothing to complain. Is glued to the tarmac and responds well to driver inputs in emergency situations. BSM had summed up correct, carry the speeds into corner to avoid the torque steer antiques. Yes this car is so brilliantly set up at stock, that one keeps on pushing it to the limits in corners. Goodyear Eagle Ventura though outdated is brilliant in grip, especially in wet braking and over broken patches. 3 cheers to this understated tyre.
To quote a buddy, when in doubt flat out, holds so true to my set up. Somehow the chassis and tyres love it that way and thats when one realize the beauty of it (set up).
Good brakes (Non ABS Vdi): Again the first drive from showroom to my office was enough to convince to close the deal for the tyres, and yes it has saved my life atleast 2 times. Last being 2 weeks back when in the pouring rain I was taking a 90 deg RT turn and 1 maniac private bus came straight at me while over taking another bus. Brakes and tyres behaved really well (one side was on wet tarmac and the other on mud), I braked, corrected and managed to brush past the bus and some shrubs thankfully not even a single scratch from the shrubs.
Superb engine: Yes this multi-jet is a design marvel, as the KMS gathered engine became silent and refined, the service light incident was caused by the silent engine, more on that later. The diesel pitter patter as well as the roughness has faded off, now the car is silky smooth and revs like any other petrol engine (sad the rev limits are lower).
FE has improved marginally, by a KM to be precise. Point to note is I dont believe in traditional run in but using the engine to its potential, within safe limits. Currently FE is at 15 to 16 kmpl inside city, depending on AC usage and traffic against 19 to 22 kmpl on highway. I will not complain here coz it works out much cheaper compared to a Volvo bus for my weekend runs to native.
Oil consumption so far was zilch, and I have changed Oil 3 times (1k, 5k and now at 10k) and filter at 5K and 10 K. Color of the oil unlike other diesel engines am experienced, doesnt turn black, rather it turns grayish kinds.
Power delivery is brilliant, modulate the gas pedal judiciously and you wont feel the turbo lag. Yes even sooth is minimal unless you try to floor the pedal at low rpms or you try to gas down at high gears at slow speeds. Once the Turbo kicks in its a whole new experience all together, car moves as if its being chased by a group of rabid dogs. 2k to 4k rpm is where the sweet spot is. And unlike whats being bragged about, on 195 tyres wheel spins are rare unless one is really stupid.
Driving: Have seen lot of debates on seats and all, but in my experience only thing thats lacking is that under thigh support and the dead pedal for left leg. Seats are firm and just perfect for my taste. The car already has great respect in my books, just like the ol zen and the iKON. These bunch really have some character and this is one of my primary selection criteria.
Visibility: Rear and front visibility can be better but becomes non issues once you get introduced to that ORVM blind spot!! Yes the huge ORVMs are must and boon for reversing and regular driving but a pain since it creates a blind spot while taking turns and while at ghat sections. Again dark sun film is absolute no no for this car, or risk scrapping the sides during heavy rains.
Ground clearance: Is bad, especially at the front bumper, in Bangalore roads its a real pain point. Again watch those speed breakers when the car is loaded. Good news is almost all the critical parts underneath are well protected and hidden away from such scrapes. Even the running board has plastic scrape plates to take care of small impacts.
Space: Ideally suited for two adults, especially if tall. Rear leg space can be an issue with tall occupants in front. For long journeys avoid 5 adults or can be lil cumbersome. Boot space is also just about adequate. Yes it will hold 2 standard strollies and duffle bags, but since I have the speaker boards / parcel tray, accommodating huge suitcase means task of removing the MDF board has to be planned.
Plastic clips: People often misrepresent swift to have poor build, this car is tough to a good extent. Can say this safely after trashing it in tough terrains, including when I kept up with the macho safari. Under pinnings are strong and hold up well, nothing has fallen off yet. Rubber beading if treated well will stay putt, yes they are held up with small clips and if not careful during cleaning can come off, but nothing a firm push can solve.
Doors definitely close with a SOFT thud and havent changed the sound yet, but yes windows when wound half way seem to be doing a joy ride. So in short its a design flaw where the plastic clips play havoc, right from mud flap trims to door pads, once they age they start the squeaks and all. Simple task is spent some 100 bucks and replace them at service and always carry spare in hand for the external trims.
Panel Sheets: To me the most irritating fact, the design is so curvy and with so much of swoopy surface that even a small twig can leave dents at certain places, like bonnet and doors (just below the weather strips). Maybe Suzuki could have stiffened this area with proper sheet pressing in these areas. Rest of the areas are quite strong, yup roof can become lil tinny at rains.
Thats all for now, trip, service, puncture and the service light story by tomorrow.

Thanked: Once
Jaggu thanks for that wonderful 10,000+kms review. You haven't missed any aspect of the car, be it internal or aesthetic. I'm just a little curious about the engine noise aspect though. Having covered 9600kms I still hear the diesel clatter in the 1700-1900 rev range. It isn't as quiet as I expect it to be at this stage but that could also be due to the impending service and oil change?
All in all thanks again and will look forward to the rest of your report.
P.S: Wish you could make it on sunday. Would love to compare notes.

Trip 1
Three weddings in a month, all separated by a week, and @ 400 kms distance from Bangalore. What would a poor guy like me opt for travel? No guesses right. nope, one trip had to be compromised for the wifee's demand, so 2 tier AC it was. Damn cant sleep and was cursing all the while and looking forward to the first drive.
So the week went by and it was Calicut aka Kozhikode the first destination, which means one has Mysore Road hmm then the scenic Gundulpet stretch and finally the Wayanad hills, couldn't ask for more after couple of months of city driving.
As usual tanked up but the air pressure thingie was not working, didn't bother then and carried on with the trip. News the previous night said it was raining cats and dogs in kerala and Calicut is flooded, but what the heck, all the more adventurous trip that's all. Started early in the morning (6 am) and first stop was Kamats in Mysore road for breakfast then proceeded to Gundulpet and this was the climate that greeted us.
Purfect !!
Nope the road started disintegrating soon and was littered with craters big n small, so the pace was slow till we reached the Kerala border and boy oh boy roads became great and the speed gathered, usual drifting through the wayanad hills till Kalpatta where we stopped to check these guys out.
Started the decent and managed to see a tourist bus that tried short cut in one of the hairpins the previous night.
Did a good off road slush adventure inside one of the villages that night, but apart from that uneventful day.
Car was giving around 21 kmpl and running well, handling was lil off so suspecting the air pressure went and checked, yup air pressure was less and front RT was showing further 2 pounds low. Didn't think in terms of puncture and carried on. Attended the wedding and rushed to the hotel to pack up, idea was to clear Gundulpet stretch before night fall.
Left Calciut and it started raining heavy, heavy like
Yes that's with wiper at full blast and in between the wipe, no its not camera shake but just common kerala rain. Soon the roads became rivers
The Eagle venturas really did their duty well, soon the roads cleared up and I was doing 60 to 70 kmph in this rain, and then the infamous turn where the private bus took me out off the road and into the shrubs, luckily I pre-empt the turn and was keeping to the far left.
Another shot of the rain drive on the Venturas
Rain cleared and we entered the hair pins again and I had a feeling that the fog will greet us and it indeed did
And it went from bad to worse that the visbility dropped to less than 10 mts, took a break on top to admire the view and snowhite a rest, here she is
Usually the fog clears up once you pass the ghats, but not this time it continued and slowed down to take a shot and this Merc just swooshed past me, how they managed to see the road is a mystery
Moved on to Gundulpet and inside the jungle the rain again started
Had to increase the pace since I wanted to avoid the craters and day light was fading away, somehow managed it in the nick of time. Took a coffee break and soon after Gundulpet this was the scene !!!
Rains again, this continued for another 15 odd kms and somehow managed to get to Mysore road by 8 pm, then on it was blind folded driving with the sprays from the trucks, buses and cars, till Bangalore when the sky and roads cleared up. Finally managed to reach Bangalore by around 10 pm.
Salute you swift d, the handling meant I could salsa, waltz and boogie around the hills, the torque helped throughout the hairpin climbs as well as tight overtaking situations in rains. It's a boon on rain swept mysore road with very intelligent road users taking up all off two lanes moving at 40 to 50 kmph.
I don't think things will change for better even if we have brilliant roads thanks to the road users.
Next trip is again towards south but in another route, and that will be after a small break, maybe tomorrow.
Oh yeah will fill in the 3rd service details also before that, as i did it before the trip

As much as we all love Jaggu's VDI reviews, lets try and not go too Off Topic. Otherwise the core review will be quite inaccessible to members looking for just that. Thank You.

This morning, Gary saw a Kingfisher at the mouth of the River Sorn and out on the merse a White tailed Eagle was siting there. Up at Bunnahabhain this afternoon, Gary saw 3 White tailed Eagles. Today James had carried out a goose count on the reserve at Gruinart and he also commented about seeing so many geese, "perhaps due to the full moon". His tally came to 9,685 Barnies, 589 Whitefronts and 51 Greylags. He also counted 1,925 Golden Plover and saw 2 Hen Harriers (a male and also a female) and a Golden Eagle. Here at home, the birds are busy eating the food put out for them, at one time we looked out and the big Niger feeder had 20 Goldfinches tucking in, a full house.

In the rare instances that Shareen Williams can treat her younger sister to something special, like a nail salon pampering for her birthday, it comes with a twinge of regret.
"Sometimes I feel so guilty when I feel like I'm not able to give her just little stuff that I feel she deserves," said Ms. Williams, 35, who has cared for Raheida Harry, 21, for more than a decade. In May, Ms. Williams became Ms. Harry's legal guardian.
"I put myself on the back burner a lot, just for her," Ms. Williams said.
Ms. Harry has had developmental delays since birth, but the underlying condition went undiagnosed for years. The sisters were raised on St. Vincent, the largest island in the Caribbean nation St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It is a place, Ms. Williams said, where her sister was unable to thrive, let alone receive adequate services, because of the limited resources for people with special needs.
Twelve years ago, their mother left St. Vincent to live with a relative in the United States. Ms. Williams had to step in as her sister's caretaker and provider.
"I've always been working because I have to support my family," she said. "Whatever ends and bits I could get from a job, I did it."
Another time-consuming role was that of protector. Ms. Williams shielded her sister from frequent insults, lobbed at her not only from cruel schoolmates, but also from adults quick to point out that her mother was gone. Ms. Williams often rushed to Ms. Harry's school the moment classes were dismissed to pick her up before anyone had time to tease her after the final bell.
"Something just switched on in me. I felt the maternal instincts just kick in," Ms. Williams said.
The insults got worse when Ms. Harry was in high school and developed severe scoliosis.
"There wasn't a day when she didn't come home and tell me, 'Oh, they were calling me snake back, or they were calling me turtle,'" Ms. Williams recalled. "It was hard."
In 2010, a charity in St. Vincent sponsored an operation in Richmond, Va., to repair Ms. Harry's spine. Doctors there identified the cause of her developmental delays: DiGeorge syndrome, a chromosomal disorder.
"When I grasped the magnitude of the situation, I was like, 'Wow, I can't take her back to St. Vincent,'" Ms. Williams said. "There's nothing there for her, no resources there for her."
The sisters remained in the United States, leaving behind their stepfather and half brother. Ms. Williams also left her job as an elementary school teacher. She said she had no qualms about starting her life over because it was a worthwhile sacrifice to make for her sister.
In July 2010, the siblings came to New York and moved in with their uncle. Their estranged mother lived with him as well; the sisters did not stay long, and they have had little contact with their mother. They bounced around a few places before finding an apartment in Crown Heights, in Brooklyn, where they have lived the last three years. Ms. Williams, who took nursing classes in St. Vincent, earned money as an in-home nurse.
Since 2011, Ms. Harry has been enrolled at P.S. 373 Brooklyn Transition Center, which referred her to Brooklyn Community Services, one of eight agencies supported by The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund. In September, Brooklyn Community Services came to the sisters' aid when it used $175 to pay for a medical exam for Ms. Harry, part of her green card application, and a birthday card for her, along with $250 for groceries for them.
Ms. Harry received her employment authorization recently and has a job in the kitchen at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn. Brooklyn Community Services has helped Ms. Harry apply for additional services through the State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities.
In October, Ms. Williams started a new job as a cabin agent for Delta Air Lines. She would love to become a flight attendant but must wait awhile, she said, because she does not want to leave her sister alone for long periods.
"My hope for her is that she just gets to live the fullest and more normal life as possible," Ms. Williams said. "I want her to have a social life, stuff like that, just to be comfortable."
She dreams of buying a house one day, a place where Ms. Harry would live too. And maybe, Ms. Williams said, she will be able to take in a couple of other children with special needs, even if it means forgoing other opportunities.
"Right now, I don't have anyone or a relationship," Ms. Williams said. "At my age, I want kids, I want the whole thing. But I put her first. Once I deal with you first, once I get you situated and everything, then I can focus on me."

On my recent trip to Nashville, TN the cherry trees were in full bloom and it was glorious to see. A gift from Japan, there are over 1,000 cherry trees in the Nashville area.
The Cargo Tokyo in Bloom Eyeshadow Palette $34 is inspired by the cherry blossoms of Tokyo. Both the outer carton and the palette have a design of a delicate cherry blossom branch. This 12 pan palette has both matte and shimmer shades in soft spring shades of pink, mauve and plum. It also comes with a double-ended brush.
Top Row:
- Ginza – shimmery wheat
- Sakura – matte mauve
- Spring – matte bone
- Hanami –matte beige gray (greige)
- Mochi – matte dusty pink
- Kawaii – shimmery burnt sugar
Bottom Row:
- Sado – rose gold
- Kimono – shimmery deep plum
- Harajuku – shimmery lilac with strong gray undertone
- Shibuya- matte brown
- Cherry- shimmery peach (don't know why this is called cherry b/c it is NOT pink)
- Blossom- bright shimmery reddish pink
The eyeshadows are arranged in 3 quads and 6 duos of coordinated shades to achieve a variety of looks from neutral to soft romantic spring looks. These shadows are quite sheer so if you're looking for bold, vivid color, keep on movin'. A quick and easy look is to pair one shadow from the upper row with the corresponding shade from the bottom row. I appreciate that in a palette–it's especially good for makeup beginners.
I'm disappointed in the paler shades: Spring, Hanami and Mochi are lacking pigment. All the rest are great, but 3 out of 12 means 1/4 of the palette falls short. Sakura, Kawaii, Cherry and Blossom are very pretty and Harajuku reminds me of MAC Satin Taupe.
The double-ended brush is nice–one side is great for packing on color and the other for blending.
For this look I put Mochi in the crease, Kawaii on the lid, Shibuya under the lower lash line and Spring in the brow arch.
For a sunset type look I used Blossom in the crease blended with Mochi, Cherry on the lid, a little it of Harajuku under the lower lash smudged and Spring in the brow arch.
Bottom Line: While I not thrilled with the palette, I don't hate it either. I would give it a solid B. If you like sheer, soft looks this might be just what you're looking for!

"With all the attention and people that are following him and ready to support Kaepernick, I think he should (file a complaint).". I was reckless. 11. Points for originality and a flag for unsportmanlike conduct.. The closest thing to a sure thing is second round running back Dalvin Cook..
Returned to MSU as an assistant coach and was named the basketball uniform editor Spartans recruiting intern in 2016. That puts the Bills in a tough spot, because how much can they really count on him? If the team were to release him before the start mens basketball uniforms of the 2016 league year, with a June 1 designation, they should be able to avoid paying him a $1 million roster bonus and $100,000 workout bonus, both of which are typically paid out in the spring.
My hands would shake so much I couldn throw strikes. Only four other assistant coaches, all at football powers Clemson University, Louisiana State University and the University of Alabama made more than $1 million in 2014. A step down to the Federal League has its six teams operating with a weekly salary cap of just over $5,000, putting minimum salaries at about $297 per week for a 56 game regular season that spans seven months.
Right tackle Riley Reiff was out cheap jerseys from china with a hip injury and was missed, especially when Nick Perry got past his replacement, Corey Robinson, for a possession ending sack in mens basketball uniforms the third quarter. Defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson of the Detroit Lions had three tackles, a quarterback hit and a forced fumble in a 35 23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
However, if one instead embraces the exciting changes that occur during these years and takes an active approach to his future, accepting responsibility and constructive criticism Tebow style, then success replaces sadness, and he is that much closer to forming the foundation of a satisfying life..
Because where to get jerseys NFL games are not always played in ideal weather conditions but also inclement weather, especially late in the season and the playoffs, the groundskeepers' job demands that they also meet their duty in these conditions. Analysis: Interesting pick for Panthers after taking Christian McCaffrey in first round.
American flares would go up and before my eyes was a living portrait as what this country is about. Neither is likely to happen to star QB Wilson. Cole Beasley, DAL, at Philadelphia: While Terrance Williams gets a definitive bump to his fantasy value in light of Dez Bryant's broken foot, Beasley also stands to see an uptick in catches and targets.
San Francisco 49ers Victor Bolden Jr. Being one of the most popular sports in North America, American football is played frequently, and knowing how http://www.wholesalecheapjerseysonsale.com/ to football results properly catch the ball can further enjoyment of the great sport.. Regarding recruiting, I fail to see the need for these various signing days.

Shrub Doctor was recruited by a large church in Huntersville, NC to save the maple trees on their campus. Shrub Doctor identified 72 trees that were suffering from dehydration, lack of nutrition, and advanced infestation of gloomy scale insects. These trees are installed within the small islands of the campus parking areas. Excessive heat and lack of moisture has caused severe decline, requiring several trees to be removed prior to treatment. Shrub Doctor immediately recommended a routine watering schedule to assure proper hydration followed by a three-step restoration treatment. A 1000 gallon watering truck has been acquired by the church to begin a scheduled watering program. Last week Shrub Doctor performed restoration treatments to the trees including deep root fertilization, treatments to kill insect infestations, and treatments to regulate the future growth of the trees. Going forward, the church volunteers will follow Shrub Doctor's watering and fertilization recommendations to help their trees make a full recovery.

Smooth Patch Fungus on Oak
Posted in Around Your Neighborhood, Organic Plant Health, Shrub care, Sustainable organic shrub care, tagged certified arborist charlotte, Certified ISA arborist, Charlotte arborist, Charlotte NC trees, Charlotte shrub care, Charlotte tree and shrub care, Charlotte tree health, Charlotte trees, Deep Root Fertilization, Diseases of shrubs, Organic shrub care Charlotte, Shrub and tree care Charlotte, Shrub Doctor, Shrub Doctor Charlotte on July 22, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Shrub Doctor noticed a good example of smooth patch fungus activity on this tree today. Also known as white patch, this fungus decomposes the corky outer bark layer of the tree. Since the patch fungus only invades the nonliving outer bark tissues, no harm is done to the tree. Smooth patch is one of many natural occurrences that can be found in our landscapes. No treatments are needed, and your tree should recover over the future seasons. If you notice concerns with your trees and shrubs within your landscape give Shrub Doctor a call. One of our ISA Certified Arborists will be glad to schedule a visit and provide solutions that will keep your plants healthy and vigorous for many years to come.

We took the opportunity the other day to treat a grove of huge camellia shrubs that were infested with scale insect activity. Shrub Doctor has had great success killing scale infestations with horticultural oil and our backpack fogging machine. We blast the oil into the canopy of the shrubs suffocating the scale. We have used this non-toxic method to control scale activity with our customers for many years. If you have a scale insect problem, call Shrub Doctor at 704-920-0290. We will promptly visit your landscape and get your landscape back in control.
Sustainable Planting Technique
Posted in Organic Plant Health, Shrub care, Sustainable organic shrub care, tagged Charlotte shrub care, Charlotte tree and shrub care, Sustainable landscaping, Sustainable organic shrub care on December 21, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Shrub Doctor recently utilized an old sustainable planting technique when transplanting this 50 year old acuba shrub. The hole was made deep enough to accept several small logs in the bottom. A thin layer of soil was added then watered to fill all the gaps around the logs. The shrub was planted directly on top of the logs. Over time, the logs will absorb and hold water, as well as provide an increased environment of beneficial fungi to the shrub's root system. This planting practice will allow your shrubs to stay well hydrated during periods of drought. The decaying logs will also provide good organic nutrients for many seasons to come. To learn more about how you can adopt this technique in your landscape give Shrub Doctor a call. Call 1-888-2GO-Organic for more information about our 100% organic shrub and tree fertilization programs.

It was brought down from the Blue Ridge area about 30 years ago. The other photo is of an azalea growing on a high country ridge in the Smoky Mountains.

MYTH: Exercise might accelerate fibromyalgia or worsen symptoms, so get more rest.
TRUTH: Regular activity helps:
- Control fibromyalgia & severity of pain
- Maintain strong & flexible muscles
- Burn calories & control weight
- Provide greater range-of-motion to painful muscles & joints
- Improve a person's outlook on life
- Enhance quality of sleep
- Improve overall sense of well-being
- Increase energy, aerobic capacity & cardiovascular health
- Empower individuals to manage their health challenges
- Stimulate growth hormone secretion
- Strengthen bones, muscles & connective tissues
- Individuals stay active & functional in all areas of life
- Boost endorphins which help to reduce pain, anxiety, stress & depression
- Slow down adrenaline associated with stress
- Trigger the release of epinephrine & norepinephrine which are hormones that boost alertness
- Increase serotonin, a neurotransmitter which has a direct relation to fibromyalgia & affecting mood. Lack of exercise, inactivity & too much stress can lead to permanently low levels of serotonin. On the other hand, increased levels of serotonin in the brain are associated with creating a calming effect. Stable serotonin levels in the brain help to create a positive mood.
Get the Party Started!
When beginning an activity program, start slowly & consult with a qualified exercise professional. Begin with stretching exercises & gentle, low-impact activity, such as walking, swimming, or bicycling. Muscle soreness is common but if sharp pain arises, stop & call your doctor.
Flexibility/Stretching movements, which increase flexibility & Range-of-Motion, involve moving a joint as far as it will go, with minimal discomfort. Talk to your doctor, physical therapist or exercise therapist about which movements may be most beneficial & how to do these exercises properly.
Trainer's TIP: Begin by holding each movement for only 2 or 3 seconds; relax then repeat for 5-10 repetitions. Exhale as you stretch through your Range-of-Motion.
Endurance exercise, which helps to enhance the cardiovascular & respiratory systems, include activities like walking, biking, swimming & dancing. Endurance exercises also help to increase metabolism, reduce body fat & condition the body.
Trainer's TIP: Begin with short bouts of activity time. Listen to your body & do what you can tolerate. There is as much benefit from doing 10 minute walks, 3 times per day as there is from doing 30 minutes consecutively. Gradually build up your time & intensity until you can keep moving for 20-30 minutes without pain.
Strength/Resistance Training exercises help to build strong muscles & tendons needed to support your joints. Strength exercises may improve fibromyalgia symptoms. Seek a Certified Personal Trainer with experience working with fibromyalgia, to learn how to implement resistance training safely & properly. PROPER FORM is crucial! Strength training helps individuals to enjoy a strong, tone, healthy-looking body, while enhancing self-image & confidence.
Trainer's TIP: Do exercises for every major muscle group. Do 1-2 sets per body part & alternate upper & lower muscle groups. For example, you may do a movement for your back, then one for your legs & repeat. You may do a movement for your shoulders, then your midsection & repeat. This is called "super setting" & is a great way to save time. While one muscle group is working, the other is resting. Aim for 12-20 repetitions to begin conditioning, with a weight that almost brings your muscles to fatigue. As you progress, gradually increase your weights & aim for 8-12 repetitions for greater strength.
Water therapy can provide a gentle form of conditioning & support your weight during movement to help alleviate impact on muscles & joints. Water provides buoyancy & mild resistance.

This project is focused on design and creation of urban gardens
It's a space where citizens in the neighbourhood can be taught the processes of sustainable growth and gardening techniques for healthy & organic food.The project has a strong focus on eco-forestry sustainability led by farmer women, who traditionally do not have part on the decision making in the rural areas. It aims to elevate and empower women in their communities.
The main goal of this project is to improve the connection between humans and the planet.
They will do this by developing a eco-sustainable ¨lighthouse¨ farm – an innovation in small local farming. Creating sustainable and healthy food sources in the urban centres of Medellín is a huge step towards healthier lifestyles, women's empowerment in entrepreneurship and overall health and wellbeing for the families directly impacted by access to sustainable produce.

This is a story of how designer Federica Aradelli – one of a trio of new recruits to join Southerly in the past month – not only followed the advice that Norman Tebbit gave to jobseekers to get on their bikes and find work, but a real-life case study of how when a business uses its own digital channels to communicate its company culture, it will attract new hires whose values inherently match. Not only that, you reduce your recruitment costs by encouraging first-rate candidates to approach you before a vacancy is even advertised.
Southerly's headcount continues to grow. Just this week, writer and journalist Charlie Graham-Dixon became our latest member of staff – we'll hear Charlie's opening statement on Friday's blog. Charlie (pictured right) joins account manager Daniel Bobroff (in the centre of the photograph above) and Federica (yes, you guessed it, on the left of the photo) in Southerly's new kids on the block club.
We're extremely happy to have secured the services of three talented individuals that will help Southerly continue to go from strength to strength, but this blog post is not about our growing workload.
It's about Federica, who Southerly first came across when she, quite literally, got on her bike and came knocking at our door.
Federica takes up the story. "I come from Italy and was living in Vicenza, near Milan, but I was looking to come to London because my boyfriend moved here a year ago.
"I started researching marketing agencies online in Italy, but thought it was better to come here and approach agencies directly.
"Just three weeks ago I took a flight to London and used a bicycle that was at my boyfriend's house to make my way from agency to agency. It was a little scary riding on the left-hand side of the road for the first time!
"I decided to approach Southerly because I had seen examples of the work the creative content agency produces and was very impressed by its website and the infographics.
"On the day I knocked on Southerly's door, writer Jonathan Bright answered it and I was delighted to hear that Head of Design Anna Moumtzidou was looking to appoint another designer to tackle its growing workload, but Southerly was yet to advertise the vacancy.
"I left my CV with Anna and showed her examples of my work that I brought with me. I was very happy when they asked me to come back for an interview and had no hesitation in accepting the offer of a full-time role."
Don't think that this chance meeting is a story that cannot be repeated, although we do reckon that Southerly is probably the only company in the UK to employ two designers from Italy who are both called Federica!
Southerly founder and director Shelley Hoppe underlines the benefits of communicating your company's culture.
Shelley says: ""We were very pleased that Federica approached us and were very impressed by her portfolio of work.
"By using the digital channels at our disposal to paint a very clear picture of Southerly's culture, we have found a very talented graphic designer who complements our team perfectly and has saved us a considerable amount of money in recruitment costs."
Shelley adds: "I was particularly impressed by the fact Federica came to our door and presented her CV. I don't think she would have made such an impact had she just emailed examples of her work to me."
But isn't using your own website Facebook page and other social media properties to communicate your company culture a business storytelling tactic that is best suited to the creative industries?
"Not at all," counters Shelley. "Any business, large or small, can use words, images and video to make clear its company culture and attract likeminded individuals."

BHEL bags order for phase 1 expansion of Patratu power plant in JharkhandTagged with: BHEL | India | Jharkhand | NTPC | Patratu power plant | Patratu thermal power plant | Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured a contract worth INR 11,700 crore ($1.8 billion) to supply three supercritical thermal units of 800MW each for the Patratu power plant in Jharkhand, India.
The three units will be part of phase 1 of the expansion project at the coal-based 840MW Patratu power plant at Patratu in Ramgarh district. Two more units of 800MW to be installed later on, for which there is likely to be a separate bidding in the future.
BHEL had won the order from Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (PVUNL) after prevailing in an international competitive bidding process.
PVUNL is jointly owned by NTPC (74%) and the Jharkhand government through the Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam (26%).
BHEL said that it will implement the order on an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis.
According to the company, the new supercritical thermal units at the Patratu power plant in Jharkhand will help in reduced fuel consumption thanks to the high efficiency equipment, which would be operated at higher operating parameters.
The installation of the new supercritical thermal units will lead to the phasing out of the Patratu power plant's ageing sub-critical units, thereby increasing its efficiency to a great extent.
BHEL says that the expansion project will further curb emissions by deploying Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to capture SOx and NOx and other pollutants.
It claims that the project is the largest of its kind in India to be based on Air Cooled Condenser technology, which will help in conserving a huge amount of water.
BHEL intends to manufacture the major equipment of the Patratu power plant at its Haridwar, Hyderabad, Trichy, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Jhansi and Ranipet factories. The construction and installation works at the Patratu power plant location will be handled by its Power Sector – Western Region division.

China morning round-up: Bad weather
Newspapers continue to focus on the deadly Beijing storm , as southern China is hit by another tropical storm .
Beijing News reports the latest rescue operations in and around the capital, with Mayor Guo Jinlong promising to reveal any updates on the death toll without delay.
Divers were deployed to check submerged cars on the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau highway, as the municipal government struggled to pump out the water, says the Beijing Times .
People's Daily Overseas Edition asks if Beijing's drainage system is keeping pace with the city's rapid development.
Beijing must work on proper planning for the "conscience of the city", Shanghai's China Business News cited experts as saying, echoing the 19th Century French novelist Victor Hugo in Les Miserables: The sewer is the conscience of the city.
"The government, media and public figures should all be honest about improving disaster prevention," said a bilingual editorial in the Global Times .
Meanwhile, China Daily and Guangzhou's Southern Metropolis Daily warn severe weather is to hit southern Guangdong and Hainan provinces as well as the Guangxi autonomous region as Typhoon Vicente approaches.
Vicente landed in western Guangdong in Tuesday morning. It brought Hong Kong to a standstill overnight, reports the Hong Kong Standard .
The Hong Kong Observatory issued its highest typhoon warning signal, Ming Pao Daily News reports , the first time since 1999, with many injured and passengers stranded at the airport.
The domestic edition of People's Daily describes how Hong Kong authorities issued public warnings, alongside its coverage on the Beijing floods.
The paper also says Vice-Premier Hui Liangyu chaired a meeting on national flood prevention, urging local authorities to stay alert. A total of 95 people have been killed across mainland China since 20 July in heavy rain storms, Shanghai Daily and Beijing Times report.
Also on Tuesday, Peoples Daily and local papers such as Southern Metropolis Daily lead their front pages with a speech by President Hu Jintao.
In his speech, Mr Hu called for party unity in the face of "unprecedented opportunities and challenges".
"We must unwaveringly take the correct course pioneered by the party and the people over a long period, and neither flinch in the face of any dangers nor be distracted by any interference," he said.
Hong Kong's Ming Pao Daily News says although this is Mr Hu's annual 1 July speech - delayed this year due to his visit to Hong Kong - the latest one appears to have summed up his 10 years in office as Mr Hu is due to step down later this year from the Communist Party leadership.
It also says Mr Hu's remarks on economic reform mean the "Chongqing mode" of governance - developed by the now disgraced former Chongqing party chief Bo Xilai - is now "bankrupt".
The Global Times and Guangzhou's 21st Century Business Herald report Xiao Jie was elected as the first mayor and party chief for the city of Sansha, which was set up recently by Beijing to govern disputed islands in the South China Sea.
Mr Xiao served as an agriculture and technology official in the Hainan government, reports say.
After one day of near-silence in mainland Chinese media, China Daily says the country's railway development is gaining speed "cautiously" one year after the deadly 23 July 2011 Wenzhou train crash.
Ming Pao Daily News says most of the mainland papers were banned from commemorative coverage, while some family members of the victims paid visits to the crash site on Monday.
Further coverage in the run-up to the London Olympics is found in China Daily , as it examines whether London is ready to shine.
People's Daily says China's anti-doping officials warned athletes from committing "stupid mistakes" when taking medication and nutrition supplements.

JUR1730 – International Humanitarian Law (The Law of Armed Conflict)
Course description
Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Choose semester
Course content
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) defines methods and means of warfare in armed conflicts and establishes various forms of protection for civilians, other non-combatants as well as combatants. The rules seek to balance military necessity against fundamental principles of humanity. The principles of proportionality, the principle of distinction between military objectives and civilian objects, as well as the principle on unnecessary suffering and superfluous injury form the basis for this body of law.
The legal bases for IHL are rules of international customary law as well as treaty law, in particular the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 with their additional protocols of 1977, and the Hague Regulations of 1907. In addition there are several specific treaties pertaining to e.g. use of certain weapons and other means of warfare.
The subject International Humanitarian Law is a part of public international law, but does not go in detail into the rules on the legality of warfare (jus ad bellum). The main focus is on which rules apply when there is an armed conflict going on (jus in bello), irrespective of the status of the conflict. International Humanitarian Law has certain contact points with two other subjects under public international law; international criminal law and international human rights law.

We're a boutique law firm - which means you get to work directly with one of our founding partners.
Spodek Law Group is one of New York's oldest law firms. Trust us with your legal issue.
Our firm has offices all over NYC and Long Island. We make it convenient and easy.
When spouses plan to divorce, there are so many legal issues to understand. It serves your children well for you to learn how to calculate child support finances and the party that becomes responsible for the child's upkeep. Brooklyn child support lawyers provide the facts about the issue.
"Who is the Child's Father?"
Establishing the child's paternity is a matter that may come into play in child support cases. First what happens when there is presumed or agreed on fatherhood?
Acknowledged father: The biological father in an unmarried relationship with the mother of a child, who admits paternity or whose DNA test proves fatherhood, must shoulder child support responsibility.
Presumed father: The presumes father is the man in a marital relationship with the child's mother unless evidence proves otherwise. Presumed father includes:
• The male spouse to the mother during the conception period or at the time of the child's birth.
• The man who attempted to wed the conceived mother or during the period the child's birth.
• The male partner agreed to support the child or that the child takes his name on the birth certificate.
• The man openly held the child as a his son or daughter or agreed to accommodate the child in his home.
A presumed father must shoulder the duties of child support.
Equitable Parent, Alleged Father, or Stepfather
The other categories of the father who the law says must pay child support include:
• An equitable parent who the court grants visitation or custody rights because of a close relationship with the child.
• Alleged father, or an unmarried male who impregnates a woman with custody and visitation rights.
• Stepfather or the legal spouse, who adopts the child, despite not the biological father. There is no obligation for the father to pay child support unless he decides to adopt the child.
Paternity Actions established by DNA Tests
If a lawsuit filed to determine paternity shows that a man is a biological father through a DNA blood test, the man will have to pay child support.
How to Calculate Child Support Finances
The non-custodial parent must provide finances for the child's upkeep as per the standard guidelines-17 percent for one child, 25 percent for two children, 29 percent for three children, 31 percent for four children, or 33 percent to cater for five children daily expenses, healthcare needs, and education. The percentages rely on the income of the non-custodial parent provided the total earnings of both parents does not surpass $80,000.00.
How Long will the Parents Finance the Children?
Child support is not a lifetime duty. Upon the child attaining the majority, the financial support will come to an end, unless the child is still in college or has mental or physical challenges. A child who starts an active military will forego child support. The support cannot continue if the court declares the child an emancipated resident, which means the child is self-supporting or is free of parental control. The court can terminate the support, for instance, when another parent adopts the child.
Child Support Vs. Visitation Rights
The question that many non-custodial parents ask Brooklyn child support lawyers is, "Should I pay child support if the other parent denies me visitation and custody rights?"
Yes, you cannot refuse to pay child support because of the behavior of the other parent.
However, some courts can suspend the child support, temporarily. You should ask a Brooklyn child support attorney about how the court can enforce your visitation rights.

City Journal: Myron Magnet on Florida elections and voter fraud. An excerpt:
Our democracy's legitimacy rests on the honesty and trustworthiness of our voting process, which has grown as suspect as the days when loyal partisans would grow beards before election day to vote with them first in their full luxuriance, then with a trim to Vandyke neatness, next with the chin whiskers shaved off, then with the moustache gone, and finally with the mutton chops erased. Barbers were indispensable to the vote-and-vote-again process.
