There are different species of ivy gourd, including Coccinia indica, Coccinia cordifolia, and Coccinia grandis, which are often compared to bitter melon. In addition to being a staple of Indian, Indonesian, and Thai cuisines, the fruit is believed to offer health benefits. Veena Nair / Getty Images Available as a dietary supplement, ivy gourd is said to have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that may aid in the prevention or treatment of a diverse range of health conditions, from diabetes and high cholesterol to high blood pressure and obesity. Also Known As Hong gua (China)Kovai fruitKunduru (Hindi)Pepasan (Malaysia)Pepino cimarrón (Spanish)Phak khaep (Thailand)Scarlet gourdTelakucha (Bangladesh) Health Benefits Ivy gourd is rich in an orange-red pigment called beta-carotene which has potent antioxidant effects. By neutralizing free radicals in the bloodstream, antioxidants may help slow or prevent damage to cells at the molecular level. Ivy gourd also contains phytonutrients, such as saponins, flavonoids, and terpenoids, that are though offer heart and anti-cancer benefits. Alternative practitioners believe that these plant-based compounds are potent enough to treat a variety of illnesses (including asthma, gonorrhea, and skin infections) and even stimulate weight loss. However, the clinical evidence supporting these claims is almost invariably weak. At present, there is little research to support the use of ivy gourd in treating any medical condition. With that said, ivy gourd is rich in fiber, B vitamins, and iron and may help relieve occasional constipation and normalize blood sugar. Here is some of what the current research says: Diabetes There is growing evidence that ivy gourd may aid in the treatment of diabetes. A study published in Diabetes Care reported that 1,000 milligrams of ivy gourd extract taken daily for 90 days reduced blood glucose levels in adults with diabetes by 16% and 18% compared to those provided a placebo. A 2011 study in Experimental Diabetes Research further supported these claims and showed that ivy gourd was able to reduce postprandial blood glucose (blood sugar levels immediately following meals). This suggests that ivy gourd may reduce the need for insulin injections used to control blood sugar. With that said, the level of the effect is unlikely to control blood sugar on its own. Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that "it is premature to actively recommend the use of any particular herb to treat either glucose or other risk factors." Despite popular contention, ivy gourd was not able to reduce blood lipid levels, including cholesterol and triglycerides, in either study. 8 Natural Remedies for Diabtetes Weight Loss Because of its effects on blood glucose (and its presumed effect on blood lipids), ivy gourd is believed by some to be an effective weight loss supplement. A 2014 study in Lipids in Health and Disease reported that an extract made from the dried roots, stems, and leaves of ivy gourd was able to prevent pre-adipose cells from becoming full-fledged adipose (fat) cells in the test tube. This suggests that, by preventing this biological process, ivy gourd may be able to either slow or prevent such diseases as obesity or metabolic syndrome. Whether the same effect would occur in humans has yet to be proven, but few scientists believe that such an extract, whether injected or taken by mouth, can be distributed to cells in concentrations considered therapeutic. Further research is needed. Hypertension Ivy gourd has also fallen short in is its ability to control hypertension (high blood pressure). Most of the evidence supporting its use is hypothetical and based on such generalized models as a Disease-Consensus Index (DCI), which assesses the plant's potential to treat disease rather than its actual effect on disease. Despite the setbacks, studies into the use of ivy gourd in hypertension have led to the discovery that it may prevent liver toxicity in people using angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors to treat hypertension. According to a 2019 study in Clinical Nutrition Experimental, mice treated with ivy gourd three days prior and seven days after a single dose of the ACE inhibitor Vasotec (enalapril) had no signs of liver inflammation or damage unlike mice given Vasotec but no ivy gourd. If these same effects can be replicated in humans, ivy gourd may offer protective benefits to people on long-term ACE inhibitor therapy, particularly those with co-existing liver problems. 6 Alternative Treatments for High Blood Pressure Possible Side Effects When used for food, ivy gourd is considered nutritious and has few ill effects. By contrast, little is known about the long-term safety of ivy gourd supplements. Side effects appear to be minimal, although loose stools may occur as a result of the plant's laxative effects. Because of its impact on blood sugar, ivy gourd supplements should be used with caution in people on anti-diabetes medications. Taking them together may cause an abnormal drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia), characterized by shakiness, dizziness, anxiety, sweating, hunger, and a precipitous drop in blood pressure. For this same reason, ivy gourd supplements should be discontinued at least two weeks prior to scheduled surgery. The safety of ivy gourd supplements in pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children has not been established. As such, it is best to avoid ivy gourd unless under the direct supervision of a qualified physician. Always advise your doctor about any medications you are taking, whether they are prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional, herbal, or recreational. Doing so can help you avoid interactions and unforeseen side effects. Dosage and Preparation Available for purchase online, ivy gourd supplements can also be found in many natural food stores and shops specializing in dietary supplements. Most ivy gourd supplements are sold as tablets or capsules with doses ranging from to 250 milligrams to 400 milligrams. There are also ivy gourd tinctures in glass dropper bottles and crude unfiltered extracts sold in larger 32-ounce bottles. There are no guidelines for the appropriate use of ivy gourd. While some studies have used up to 1 gram (1,000 milligrams) per day for 90 days, there is no evidence that high doses have any better effect than smaller doses. By and large, most manufacturers recommend between 400 mg and 500 mg per day, taken with or without food. Whatever form you choose, do not exceed the recommended dosage on the product label. This doesn't mean that the product is safe or effective—since all listed dosages are from the manufacturer only—but it may reduce your risk of side effects. Ivy gourd supplements can be stored safely in a cool, dry room. Never use a supplement past its expiration date. What to Look For Dietary supplements are not strictly regulated in the United States. To ensure quality and safety, opt for brands that have undergone quality testing by an independent certifying body like the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), ConsumerLab, or NSF International. When buying an ivy gourd supplement, make sure that the species name Coccinia is printed on the product label. Avoid brands that do not include per-capsule milligram (mg) content. Also, be wary of crude unfiltered extracts that typically have a sedimentary layer on the bottom of the bottle. While manufacturers will typically market these as "natural" and alcohol-free, it is unclear what efforts have been taken to prevent contamination or what the shelf life of the products is. As a general rule, avoid any supplement that claims to treat multiple unrelated diseases. Other Questions Can you get fresh ivy gourd? Ivy gourd is not commonly found in most grocery stores or even specialty produce markets. On occasion, you can find it in Asian markets, where it is used to make such dishes as kaeng jued tum lueng (a clear Thai soup) and sambar (a vegetable and lentil-based soup from India and Sri Lanka). Ivy gourd can be grown a home using seeds purchased online. They grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. The creeping plant can grow up to 13 feet high and needs a trellis, frame, or similar support on which to climb. The cucumber-like fruit can be harvested in around three to four months, generally when they turn an orangish color. They are especially beautiful if allowed to ripen to a scarlet red but will usually be too bitter to eat. In addition to the fruit, the young shoots can be harvested for use in stir-fried dishes.

Hoping to make progress on the issue of retroactive liability for the oil spill, The White House is set to demand that executives at BP set up an account from which they will pay out claims to those affected by the spill.
A White House official emails the following information about the process:
The biggest focus in our upcoming meeting with BP will be setting up an BP-funded escrow account for a third-party administered claims process
The President will make clear that he expects, and that if necessary I will exercise his full legal authority to ensure, that BP sets aside the funds required to pay individuals and businesses damaged by this massive spill. And that those funds will be paid out under fair, efficient, and transparent procedures administered by an independent third-party panel established just for this purpose.
This is, if nothing else, a step in a more aggressive direction from the administration. Already the White House has come out in favor of unlimited liability for economic damages caused by an oil spill. There were questions as to whether that policy could be applied retroactively to BP, with Senator Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) -- who had a meeting with the president this past week -- urging the White House to force BP to sign a legally binding agreement to pay all legitimate claims.
The escrow account would essentially skip the ex post facto debate -- though, to be sure, the oil company would still have to agree to pay into the fund and there is no sense yet what they would pay (if they pay at all).
In addition, the administration announced on Sunday that the president would give a primetime address on Tuesday evening about his upcoming trip to the Gulf. The president, according to Fox News, is bringing top White House speechwriter Jon Favreau on the trip as a means of getting on-the-ground, eyewitness material into the text.

There aren't enough words to describe, but Prof. Joe and Jason Soliz are an AWESOME and AMAZING combination! I've had the privilege to train with both a few years back and after seeing this website and all the accomplishments, it is truly inspiring to train! BEST WISHES to your new school and to all new students who are lucky enough to be taught by such top quality instructors.
Art Salguero
I thought I wanted to learn how to wrestle and talked on the phone with instructors at different schools in Houston. I didn't need to look anymore after I spoke with Professor Joe Soliz, who suggested I might prefer jiu-jitsu and invited me for a free introductory class. I signed up immediately after taking my first jiu-jitsu lesson from Professor Joe at the beautiful Tx3rdCoast waterfront facility in Sugar Land. For the past three months I've enjoyed private lessons three times a week with Professor Joe, who has skillfully opened a new world for me. I've also had the pleasure to train there with Jason Soliz, another martial arts expert and champion, who methodically and patiently instructs me. The lessons are a highlight of my week and have been one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling experiences of my life.
Last week I attended my first open mat and had a great time rolling with other students, who were all very friendly and eager to engage with me even when they had more skill and experience. Professors Joe Soliz and Jason Soliz, who are highly accomplished and incredibly skilled, have created a welcoming atmosphere at their school and gym and have attracted families with children, athletes, competitors and people like me who want to learn and grow and enjoy the company of others in a stimulating and comfortable setting.
Professors Joe Soliz and Jason Soliz have enriched my life, and I highly recommend Tx3rdCoast if you want to learn any martial art from two extremely effective and delightful teachers.
My journey into the study and practice of the martial arts began 47 yrs. ago at the age of 8. As a young man I would spend countless hours learning and perfecting the techniques offered by each
system I consumed.
Ironically, it was not until about 9 yrs ago that I stopped being a martial arts consumer.
As I look back on that process, I experience a profound sense of gratitude to man who taught me the importance of concepts rather than mere technique. How it happened is still a bit of a mystery to
When I first began training with Professor Soliz and his son Jason, I experienced an epiphany of sorts. I will try to explain.
When I first sought Joe Soliz as an instructor it was to learn the art of JKD. However, shortly after joining his JKD class, I realized the importance of augmenting that experience with private
lessons. I simply cannot emphasis enough the importance of such instruction. It is almost as if, through a process of osmosis, my neuromuscular system suddenly began to allow me to move fluidly,
without any effort.
Even as a middle-aged guy with a few back surgeries behind me, I found myself venturing into BJJ without fear. This is significant because in too many MMA gyms my experience in most BJJ classes
consisted of the instructor showing the class 2-3 techniques only to quickly turn us over to the younger, higher-ranking belts to use as cannon fodder.
Although it took me close to 3 years to earn my blue belt in BJJ (two surgeries intervened) , I never once experienced a class that was out of control. Instead, my instructors, Joe, Jason, and Lance,
always paid attention to what was going on on the mat, which somehow instilled an unspoken ethos of \"check your ego at the door.\"
While I am sure there are other MMA gyms that offer great instruction and training, the thing I believe makes 3rd Coast MMA different is its culture. When I joined (and eventually earned my phase 1
instructor certificate in JKD/Kali) I didn\'t just join a gym. I joined a family.
Whether you are new to the martial arts or are an old, broken down veteran, like I was, I would recommend 3rd Coast MMA to anyone who has the capacity to empty his cup. I promise you it will be a
lifetime journey.
I was 39 when I first started training JKD with Prof Soliz and Jason. I was so intimidated by the whole thing when I first stepped foot into a JKD class. I'd never done any kind of martial arts
before, but it took Joe about 30 seconds to seek me out and welcome me. He put me at ease instantly. It's a true pleasure to learn from such a gracious family as the Soliz family. TX 3rd Coast is
like home to me. Jason's knowledge and passion for training follow Joe's and together, they top a supreme team of coaches at TX 3rd Coast.
You won't find a better place to train. Whether you want to just get fit or start your journey towards instructorship, Prof Joe and Jason Soliz will welcome you into the family that is TX 3rd Coast.
Not only will they welcome you, but it's custom for everyone in the gym to open their arms to newcomers. Not because we have to, but because that's how we were introduced to it ourselves.
I'm grateful to Joe, Jason, Pat and Suzanne for running such a great place to train.
Marcus Esquivel
I just returned from visiting my friend Freddie Roach of WILD CARD Boxing Club in Los Angeles, as you know he is the coach of the great MANNY PACQUIAO, he noticed a considerable physical change in me and I think your team at TX 3RD COAST MMA for helping me with this positive change for a better health.
Thank you for helping me gain my health and lesson the pain I have to endure with my lower back. As you can see the comparison below, you guys work!
May 2011 February 2012
Glucose 119 83
Blood Pressure 140/84 118/82
Cholesterol 213 174
Waist 44" 41"
Weight 276 256
It was a joy to hear from my doctors that not only having my health back but the pain from my lower back injury has subsided tremendously. With Jason's extreme cardio fitness regiment and Joe's boxing I was able to start my journey to a better wellbeing.
Thank you again to the staff and coaches at TX 3RD COAST MMA.

The majority of homeowners will have pest problems at some time. Knowing how to combat a pest problem can prevent it from getting out of control and taking over your home. You will be able to keep the pests out if you know how.
Hairspray is a great method of killing stinging insects. Hairspray is composed of chemicals that are very effective insect killers. Also, the smell of the chemicals will repel insects, as well.
Learn the local ordinances and building codes to see what special treatments you have access to so that you can control your pests. You do not want to use harmful chemicals that contaminate your home and make it hard to sell in the future. That is rare, but it should make you research which products are successful and allowed.
Outdoor perimeter sprays are great for insect prevention. Spray the foundation and all other outside areas near the home. While you spray, look around for crevices that pests can use as an entrance point to your home. You should then seal off these places with caulk or whatever filler you prefer.
Is your home infested with ants? Mixing borax and sugar together will kill those ants dead. The sugar lures the ants in with its sweet smell, while the borax kills them dead. To create this mixture, get yourself a quart jar, and use a cup of sugar and a cup of borax. Place holes in that lid, then sprinkle it along your foundation and baseboards.
When considering new trees for your yard, pay attention to where you place them, keeping them away from your house. Rodents can enter your home more easily if they can climb a tree and drop onto your roof. Place them at least 15 feet away from your home.
Make sure you rinse out any containers you are recycling. It is especially important to rinse items that contain sugar, such as soda cans. Get the soda pop completely out of the can. Then you can store it in your home or garage without worrying about it attracting pests.
Have you seen rodents in your home? Look around the outside of your home for any small crevices they could be crawling through. Use scouring pads and poison to fill such cracks. In some cases, an odor repellent such as mustard oil will work.
Store your dry foods in plastic containers. The majority of dry goods are packaged in bags or boxes that are easily penetrated by pests. Every time you shop, transfer the dry goods into the plastic bins, and make sure that these are tightly sealed. Using plastic containers can keep food fresher and help you avoid pests.
Learn more information about the rodents or insects that are taking over your house. During your research, find out what deters them as well as the things that attract them. Changing your method based on the specific pests will help you get rid of them efficiently.
Almost every person who owns a home will have to deal with pests at some time. Take what you have learned in this article and keep your home pest-free. Don't waste another minute, start immediately!

Hey, FLY Guys… it's officially Movember, and there's no better time to bring awareness to your health, wellness, and feeling awesome. We sat down with NYC Flywheel instructor and Ironman Brian Levine to chat about the power of fitness and how to FLY like an athlete in no time.
1. What role does Flywheel play in your Ironman and race training and how has it even beneficial?
I came across Flywheel when I was training for my first Ironman and realized how crunched for time I was living and working in New York City. In the cold winter months, it was difficult to both find time and be motivated to ride outside with shorter daylight hours. Flywheel provided an intense indoor cycling experience that allowed me to track my performance and have fun. With the recent RPM transition, Flywheel is an even more valuable tool for cyclists and triathletes like myself who have a limited amount of time and want to train indoors. It also exposes me to a wonderful community of athletes and individuals who are like-minded and enjoy the same sports that I do.
2. How do you fuel your workouts?
For my morning rides, I like to exercise on an empty stomach. After a workout, I'm a firm advocate of overnight oats. My go-to ingredients are chia seeds, flax seeds, oats, two big scoops of peanut butter, bananas and blueberries, almond milk and a dash of honey. I also drink a lot of water, and every so often I'll treat myself to a plant-based protein smoothie.
3. What would you tell someone who is thinking of trying Flywheel for the first time, or who might be training for an Ironman?
I would say that there are similarities to getting started, but the two are VERY different beasts! For someone new to Flywheel, my advice would be to just come and try it! We are an accepting and welcoming community, the workout is fun and you can always modify and go at a pace that makes you feel comfortable. I would also recommend trying a multitude of different instructors as we all have a different style and taste in music.
For someone interested in the Ironman, my advice would be start with a sprint triathlon and see if you fall in love with the sport like I did. Then, look into finding a community of other triathletes who can answer your questions and support you along the way.
4. How has being a Flywheel instructor changed you, your body and your frame of mind?
Being an instructor at Flywheel has opened a ton of doors and introduced me to wonderful individuals in the fitness community. Because of these connections, I was able to start a triathlon club based out of Lululemon one the UWS this summer. Teaching and riding at Flywheel has increased my aerobic capacity and helped me stay in peak shape, even during the off-season when I'm not racing. In addition to the obvious physical benefits, Flywheel has taught me to focus on putting my mental health above all else. It has helped me balance my responsibilities not only as an instructor, but also as a Lululemon ambassador and full-time second grade teacher.
5. In your FLY instructor bio, you mention that you tried your hand in corporate, but was happiest connecting with others as a personal trainer. Why is the instructor-rider connection (and community!) so important in helping people go for their goals?
In major metropolitan areas it can be difficult to find like-minded individuals and stay on top of your fitness goals. One of the best parts of Flywheel are the wonderful connections that I have been able to make with many of my riders. Not only have many of them become friends, but also have helped each other stay committed and focused on our long-term fitness projects.
6. Movember helps put the spotlight on men's health issues. Why do you feel raising awareness is so important?
In today's social media-centric world, it's easy for men and women alike to loose sight of what health and fitness really is. I think it's important for men not only to feel comfortable with their bodies, but also to realize that having a six pack doesn't necessarily mean that they are healthy. Diet, sleep, work/life balance and exercise are all important factors in health. It is imperative that people educate themselves about more than just the aesthetic and hopefully Movember can help promote some of the other important areas of men's health to those that are uninformed.

Axe Cliff Seniors' Masters success for Chris Walker, but Strong conclusion expected
PUBLISHED: 13:00 25 June 2019 | UPDATED: 13:00 25 June 2019
We are celebrating our 125th year with a home and an away friendly match with Sherborne, Dorset, Golf Club, who are also in their 125th year, writes Dave Bruce.
Sherborne won the first match at their home last week and we will have to do better in August when we invite them to Axe Cliff.
The Roll ups last week saw new member Charles Oram winning on Monday with 26 points and the 'not so new' member, Malcolm Reynolds, taking the honours on Wednesday with 28 points.
There was fine weather - at last - for a good contingent competing in the penultimate round of the Masters which was also combined with the Warren Cup for 21 handicappers and above. Chris Walker, with a fine net 72, took this round, but he was closely followed by Terry Atkins, on net 75.
Terry is not often on the leader board, unlike Mike Wickens, who took third spot on net 76. In terms of the overall Masters situation; Tony Strong is the overall leader with solid rounds of 73, 73 and 77 for a total of 223 which leaves him seven clear of both Simon Wellington and Chris Walker, who each have 230 points so far. Bill Polley, who has probably shot his bolt for this particular Masters after another 80, sits fourth on 233.
Tony is too good a player to let this slip, but if Simon and Chris could come in with a final well below par in the final round this week of say, net 65, which is not beyond them, then we could be in for an exciting finish. Out of the original 34 starters only 15 are left, which just goes to show what a tough competition it is.
John Pugh, our joint Open champion, won the Warren Cup with a net 77, but, unfortunately, could not be found at the end otherwise we would have taken his picture!
Dave Bruce led a successful team playing against a strong Exminster team at home by five-and-a-half to one-and-a-half.
The winning pairs were Dave Bruce and Richard Orsman; Dave Morgan and Pete Motson; Paul Hilder and Robbie Robinson; Adrian Bishop and Nick Jones; and Chris Walker and Nigel Garwood, who played a blinder, I was told.
Mick Tomes and Nick Povey got the half point. Chris Walker won nearest the pin giving him a very successful alcoholic week. I trust he shared his bottle with Sandra?

Like in other commonwealth countries, the power of sale in Nigeria is exercised either by a court order or a power of sale clause under a Mortgage Deed. An equitable Mortgagee's power of sale by a Court order involves sale under the supervision of Court. On the other hand, where a mortgage was created by deed with a power of sale or a deed of trust clause, a legal Mortgagee may exercise his power of sale without an order of court once the power has arisen and is exercisable.
However, the right of the Mortgagee to exercise the power of sale may be in jeopardy where the Mortgagee is not aware of the real legal nature of the mortgaged property. This is because a Mortgagee cannot transfer a better title to a third party other than that of the Mortgagor. For instance, a Certificate of Statutory Right of Occupancy issued in the name of the Mortgagor does not conclusively mean that the Mortgagor has title or interest in the mortgaged property. The Certificate only raises a rebuttable presumption of right of occupancy over the mortgaged property which may be set aside if a third party shows evidence of a better title. It is therefore in the Mortgagee's best interest to thoroughly investigate and ascertain the Mortgagor's title at the preliminary stage of a mortgage transaction.
Again, the cumbersome process of perfection of title in Nigeria may defeat the right of legal Mortgagee right to exercise his power of sale. Since the responsibility to obtain consent to transfer interest in the mortgaged property lies on the Mortgagor, some dubious Mortgagors may intentionally neglect to obtain the requisite consent, thereby making the mortgage void, prima facie. To avoid this pitfall, the Mortgagee must ensure that the Mortgagor obtains the consent of the Governor or at least takes concrete steps towards obtaining same before crediting the Mortgagor's account with the loan sum.
Though, the Mortgagee's right to exercise the power of sale cannot be impeached even though the sale is disadvantageous to the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee may expose himself to damages if the price of sale is so low or the procedure for sale of the mortgage property does not conform with the relevant law or the Court Order. This also applies in cases of unfair dealing with the mortgaged property or collusion with the third party purchaser resulting in gross undervalue. The law expects both equitable and legal Mortgagee to act bona fide when exercising their power of sale.
Lastly, the slow process of adjudication of cases is also a cog in the wheel of exercising the power of sale. Upon foreclosure, most Mortgagors commence legal proceedings to unduly prevent the legal Mortgagee from exercising his power of sale. Also, it is not uncommon for the Mortgagor's Solicitor to file all sorts of preliminary objections and interlocutory applications to prevent an equitable Mortgagee who approaches the court to enforce his power of sale from exercising same. These delays can be managed if all the conditions and legal requirements for exercising the power of sale upon default of the Mortgagor to repay the loan were clearly spelt out prior to advancing the loan.

NC crew comes away champions
Working out three hours a day, six days a week has paid off in gold for the New Canaan mens crew team at the 22nd annual USRowing Youth National Championships.
Under the expert coaching of Yan Vengerovskiy and Dan Walsh, the team traveled three time zones away to win two of the sport's premier events Sunday on Lake Natoma in Rancho Cordova, Calif.
Ryan Sill, Ryan Borsy, Tyler Brennan, Reese Gregory with coxswain Carly Legenzowski had a big charge with 500 meters to go to capture the national title in the men's lightweight four—a first win for New Canaan in this event. With a time of 6:50.878, they covered the 2,000-meter course more than six seconds ahead of the competition.
NC Crew continued its streak in the men's quadruple sculls by winning its fourth consecutive national title. Will Legenzowski, Salim Onbargi, Nathan Phelps and Liam Galloway left nothing to chance finishing with a time of 6:25.328 to defeat GMS Rowing Center by again more than six seconds. When races are measured in thousandths of a second, six seconds is a lifetime. It's almost enough time to stop and eat a sandwich for these boys. And to do it on a National stage is phenomenal.
"Our athletes are the cornerstone to our program. We strive to give them opportunities to achieve greatness and this weekend they did," NC Crew head lightweight coach Dan Walsh said. "For an athlete to raise their hands as the best in America is a moment very few people experience."
Not only did New Canaan take two gold titles, but the second varsity boats in the same events each won first place in the B finals placing them each seventh in the nation.
The NC mens seconnd varsity lightweight four manned by Max Lindeis, Nicholas Van Ingen, Andrew Orner, James Trentos with coxwain Skylar Severance cruised the course in 7:04.3. The second varsity quad madeup of Gus Kynast, James Hilton, Will Grotto and Alex Abbruzzese won with a time of 6:44.9.
Winning national titles is not new to Vengerovskiy, known to the rowing world simply as "Yan." He and his boys have won eight titles in the past 11 years and he is still going strong. In fact, this year is the largest group of young men that the boathouse has sent to national competition. That's astonishing if you consider that all the training this season was done while transitioning boathouses.
Other strong finishers for New Canaan included the mens first varsity lightweight eight, who fought hard with a fourth place finish in the C Final with a time of 7:00. The boys in the boat were Max Friedland, Nicholas Roeder-Yika, Andrew Gifford, Ben Castle, Dylan Koproski, Colin Vetterli, Daniel Loginsky, Kyle Brody and coxswain Skylar Severence.
Teammates Alex Williams and J.C. Sanzone teamed up to grab fifth place in the mens varsity double final B race. Alex Abbruzzese and Chandler Scheurkogel placed sixth with both teams finishing within a hundredth of a second apart.
"We believe that every seat matters at our program," Walsh said. "It's the culmination of all our athletes work that we were able to have such success."
The championships, which serve as the premier youth rowing event in the United States, sees approximately 1,500 athletes competing in more than 350 crews, representing some 150 teams from across the country—all vying for national titles in 18 boat classes.
The three-day event, culminating Sunday, offered crews that qualified from around the country to crown national champions in 18 youth events for boys and girls, age 16-18.
NC Crew boats qualified by finishing in at least the top three in the Northeast Youth Championships in May on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass.

Though there is evidence that oil had been used for medicinal purposes since the early 1400's, the first commercial well was not drilled until 1859 when oil was struck in North Pennsylvania, USA. The Drake Well at Titusville was able to produce around 20 barrels of oil a day, and kick started an industry that is now worth trillions of dollars. Three of the world's largest ten companies by market capitalization are oil companies, with two others narrowly missing inclusion. Because of its size and importance to the world economy, the oil sector is one which general portfolio managers and individual investors should not ignore. There are several ways to invest in oil, but before we look at these, here are a few reasons why investment in the so-called 'black gold' represents good value over the long term.
Oil is a Finite Resource
Though now produced in millions of barrels per day, it is widely understood that oil, as a natural resource, is in finite supply. At some time, oil production will dry up. This is cbd capsules canada one reason why so many existing and new energy companies are seeking alternative energy supplies and methods. Of course, new oil fields are being discovered, and current oil fields drilled more deeply, as demand for oil grows and makes these more expensive oil discoveries financially viable. As the oil price increases, more expensive oil production becomes worthwhile to oil explorers and producers. In this way, the oil price is like a self-regulating tap: if it is economically sensible to do so, oil companies will drill for oil and increase supply. If it isn't, they won't, and if they don't supply will fall and the price of oil will rise.
Demand Keeps Growing For Oil
At the start of the 20th century, the world population was estimated at a little over 1 billion. It now stands at over 7 billion. These extra mouths energy to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They need energy to help cultivate and harvest crops for food, and then to transport food, goods, and services. On top of this, many Asian countries are undergoing industrial expansion similar to that seen in the west during the industrial revolution. China and India, with nearly a third of the world's population between them are seeing rapid growth in their industrial bases. Oil is needed for fuel, heating, and transportation, as well as being used directly in many manufacturing processes.
Political turmoil around the world, particularly in the Middle East, will raise oil prices. This rise in prices makes other oil discoveries financially viable to extract. Even in times of relative political harmony, oil prices have risen due to demand, economic growth, or the maintenance of levels of supply.
Another quality of oil from an investment viewpoint is that, unlike gold or cash, for example, it cannot be confiscated or destroyed at will by extremist governments. Though such governments can cut off supply to the outside world, they often rely on oil revenue to support their spending and more targeted sanctions are often enforced for limited periods of time.

Matthew and Rebecca's love for each other was evident at a very early age. They were born into each other's lives as their families were friends and when Rebecca was only 13 years old, she had Mathew firmly placed in her heart.
One Christmas Eve while Rebecca was at the airport on her way to visit family in Melbourne, her and her sister went into a jewellery shop to try some pieces and pass the time. While she was trying on some rings she felt a tap on her shoulder and heard "why don't you try this one, I think it would look good on you" and when she turned around, Matthew was on one knee holding up the ring.
Rebecca had always wanted a beach style wedding that she could share with close friends and family. Matthew was a little more traditional but relished the idea of a relaxing and simple wedding away where everyone could enjoy each other's company in a beautiful holiday setting.
The Sanctuary Cove Chapel was chosen for their ceremony because of its beauty, location by the water and its floor to ceiling glass windows that showed the breathtaking view. The chapel's beauty was so overwhelming in itself that it was simply decorated with fresh florals.
Rebecca's taste is quite simple and classic which she chose to illustrate in the wedding décor. Slight pastel colours were chosen with the main theme revolving around white florals and greenery. The décor was kept simple to compliment the gorgeous surroundings. The reception was held at the MacArthurs ballroom which had been transformed from an empty shell into a magical space fit for fun, laughter and love.
The most memorable moment for the happy bride was the speeches where their loved ones shared beautiful and emotional words. It was a truly magical wedding where the newlyweds and guests enjoyed every moment. Rebecca graced the celebration looking stunning in her simple yet elegant Pronovias gown from David Jones Bridal. The bridesmaids wore custom dresses made by dressmaker that suited them each individually and complimented the style of the simple, relaxed yet elegant wedding. The groom and his groomsmen were dressed by Peter Jackson and too fit the style quite well.
Simon Gorges was chosen to capture the wedding event because Rebecca absolutely loved his candid and natural style of photography. She had met him when he photographed her best friend's wedding and absolutely enjoyed his down to earth nature and felt completely comfortable with him. His timeless photographs truly inspired her to have him shoot her most special day and she loved how he captured the fun and happiness of the everyone throughout the day. Rebecca claimed to be quite impressed with how Simon handled shooting her wedding in such hot weather as it had been 40 degrees.
The newlyweds were very happy with their wedding photographs as they truly captured the event and the beautiful scenery surrounding the event in a natural and candid way.

Preliminary Fall Enrolment at UWinnipeg
Posted on: 09/03/13 | Author: Communications | Categories: All Posts, Campus
WINNIPEG, MB – Preliminary enrolment numbers for The University of Winnipeg Fall 2013 term show a 7.2% increase in students attending classes full time compared to last year (60% this year, 56% last year) and more students are gravitating to our Faculty of Business and Economics (up 16%) and Faculty of Science (up 8.5%). Overall enrolment is steady with 9,397 undergraduate registrations (up 0.7% from last year). To date, 481 international students have registered, which is a 15.5% increase.
Graduate registrations continue to be processed. An update on graduate student enrolment will be available next week. Similar to last year, UWinnipeg's anticipates total undergrad and graduate enrolment will be approximately 10,000 students this academic year.
"In the past several years we have worked hard to create state-of-the art facilities such as the Richardson College for the Environment and Science Complex which offers 30 new research labs, and the Buhler Centre, which anchors our business faculty in the heart of downtown. These investments are attracting top tier talent, more research dollars and dedicated professors. Our new and returning students clearly value the quality educational experience we offer," said Dr. Lloyd Axworthy, President and Vice-Chancellor, UWinnipeg. "It is also worth noting that we are attracting significantly more international students, who now make up 5.1% of our student body."

|% of change
|Full course equivalent
First year students self- identifying as Aboriginal is also strong at 11%, making UWinnipeg one of the top universities in Canada for Indigenous participation.
Axworthy added that UWinnipeg's UNITED Health and RecPlex, now under construction and slated to open in fall 2014, is creating new academic and research opportunities within the Faculty of Kinesiology in growing fields such as athletic therapy, sport pedagogy, coaching education, concussion research, and inner-city youth sport development. In the past decade, with creation of relevant new faculties and degree programs, UWinnipeg's continues to be the leader among Manitoba universities in student enrolment growth.
When all UWnnipeg programs are combined (including Collegiate high school, English Language Program, Professional, Applied and Continuing Education) UWinnipeg attracts approximately 14,000 people to Winnipeg's downtown and West End daily.
In the next several weeks, enrolment numbers will fluctuate somewhat as students drop and add courses. Final enrolment numbers will be available in November.

Using Anchore in a Container Based CI/CD Workflow
How Anchore Works With CI/CD Systems
A developer commits code into the source code management system. This change triggers your CI/CD system to start a build which creates a container image. In the typical workflow this container image is then run through automated testing. If an image does not meet your organization's requirements for security or compliance, the build can be failed, returning the appropriate reports back to the developer to allow the issue to be addressed and avoid unnecessary next steps until tests are passed.

We exist to enrich human stories…
Your Retailers
These partners bring the flowers to you conveniently and affordably in all 50 states.
What is a flower company?
We believe the answer lies with people. The business of flowers may flow linearly from growing to retailing, but the purpose of flowers is simpler. It's about people, and what matters to them. We grow, design and create gestures that people use for expressing, decorating and living well.
Your flowers
More than a mile above sea level and nestled within the Andean mountains is Jardines de los Andes. The farm. Cool temperatures, lots of equatorial sunlight and rich soil make ideal growing conditions. Every day, except Sunday, your flowers are harvested, hand crafted and flown in fresh. That's how we do it.
Our Story
"Over a sandwich and fries."
When we ask our founders how this all started that's what they say. Carlos Oramas and Bonnie Armellini had worked together for most of a decade in different companies when over lunch one day they asked "What if we did something different? What if we built a flower company that began with the consumer, and what matters to them, and go from there?" Some call it marketing, they called it GEMS.
Today that same thinking can be found in our mission. We exist to enrich human stories. People's Lives.

I am new to creating source citations. I'm using RootsMagic 7's Master Sources and Source Details templates.
I will have many citations from NEHGS's Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records database with images on American Ancestors. Before I move forward with citing the many records I will eventually find in this database I would like to know if I am on the right track with the citations below I have created for my grandfather's record.
The record URL is:
The record is in Latin. The names in the database are in Latin, English in this manner:
Jacobum, James BRADLEY
Do I use the Latin name, or English name or both in the citations and how is that entered:
Jacobum (James) Bradley or Jacobum, James Bradley or ???
The citation on American Ancestors below the image is:
Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920 Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2019 (From records supplied by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston).
I would appreciate any review and comments for the citations below.
"Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920," database with images, New England Historic Genealogical Society, American Ancestors (https://www.americanancestors.org/ : downloaded 14 November 2019), James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892; citing St. Francis de Sales (Charlestown) Baptisms, 1880-1893, page 654 of 715 [Archive, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston].
Short Footnote:
"Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920," database with images, New England Historic Genealogical Society, James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892.
"Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920." Database with images. New England Historic Genealogical Society. American Ancestors. https://www.americanancestors.org/ : 2019.
Thank you,
Sue McCann
Sue, I should ask three…
Sue, I should ask three questions, first, since you say you are using the templates from RootsMagic.
1. Are those 3 citations the formats that RootsMagic produces?
2. If so, are there specific elements you are questioning?
3. If so, have you used EE to determine whether there are discrepancies between EE and the RM templates?
1. Yes, the 3 citations are…
1. Yes, the 3 citations are the formats that RM produced, but I created a new source template from Church Records (online databases)-compiler as lead element template. This template references EE, QC-7, p320, sec 7.27, p343-44.
The new source template is for Church Records (online databases)-database title as lead element. I made the compiler field optional, added a CreatorOwner field that displays after Item Type. To the Footnote text I added citing before the CreditLine field.
This gave me a footnote that seemed like it follows how a layered citation that has the online database .as layer 1, the source detail as layer 2, and source of the source as layer 3.
Because I changed a source template a bit I;m not sure if the footnote text and the short footnote text and the bibliography text came out as they should.
2. I am questioning whether between NEHGS, the individual church, and the Archdiocese of Boston I have entered those responsible for the records in the appropriate layers.
I'm not sure how to record the item of interest - in Latin &/or English.
I have cited the St Francis de Sales page number, but have not used any of the information in this URL.
I think I don't need to as I have the page from the church register, but not sure on this.
3. There does not seem to be a discrepancy between the EE referenced for the original RM source template. The way I set it up in the new, edited source template the Compiler or CreatorOwner is not the first element, but the database exact title is the lead element.
Sue, thanks for explaining…
Sue, thanks for explaining your reasoning. From your comments, I'm still not clear as to whether you are working solely from your software templates or whether you have EE itself, where basic principles and options are discussed.
If you have EE, you will find there many examples of citations to databases in which the lead element is the name of the database. The very first QuickCheck model in EE (p. 94, Archived Documents: Digitized) is one such. In fact, almost every chapter of EE has a QuickCheck model of that type. However, different software companies pick-and-choose their own selection of EE examples.
As researchers, working with online materials, we do need optional approaches. Sometimes, it works best for our citation to feature the original record book—typically when we have many citations to a specific book. Sometimes, it works best for our citation to feature the database itself, typically when it offers many different record books. That is why we have the concept of layered citations, so we can mix and match as needed. EE itself explains the options and offers many examples. This website's QuickLesson 19 "Layered Citations Work Like Layered Clothing," also explains those principles in detail.
In your examples, the fact that you chose to lead with a database title is no problem. However, there are basic issues that need discussing. (Again, I have no way of knowing whether the issues exist in your software or in your adaptation.)
REFERENCE NOTE, LAYER 1. Your citation gives us this:
"Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920," database with images, New England Historic Genealogical Society, American Ancestors (https://www.americanancestors.org/ : downloaded 14 November 2019), James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892; ...
What are you using? Your second field, the one that explains the database title, tells us that it's a database with images. However, in the field for specific item "James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892" there's nothing to clue us in as to whether you are citing the database or the image. (EE 1.23, 2.11–2.12 would help on this point.) That field should tell us (and you, at a later date after your recollection of the sources has gone cold) which you are you using—as, for example:
- ... database entry for James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892 ...
- ... imaged page 654, James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892 ...
REFERENCE NOTE, LAYER 2. Your citation gives us this:
; citing St. Francis de Sales (Charlestown) Baptisms, 1880-1893, page 654 of 715 [Archive, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston].
Are you citing page numbers or image numbers or intermingling the two?
Our QuickTips blog post, "Source Citations & the Velcro Principle" might help you here. Specifically, to your example:
- When we cite pages in a book, we don't say "page 654 of however-many." We simply say "page 654."
- When we cite images in a database, we may choose to say how many images there are in that database. This practice has come to be because (a) because there are often many similarly-titled databases, of differing lengths; and (b) providers of databases frequently drop portions of the database or enlarge the database, thereby changing the image number. Saying "image ___ of ___" can be a useful datapoint that alerts us when something has changed.
The link you gave is behind a paywall, so I cannot check specifics on this point. The isolated image you supplied does reveal that it is page 654, but it does not tell us what image number or how many images there are in that database. Almost always with imaged books online, the image number and the page number do not correspond.
Should there be editorial brackets around the identity of the repository?
As EE.2.58 (Fundamentals of Citation) notes, square editorial brackets are used to signify that we are adding something of our own knowledge that is not to be found in the work we are citing.
When I go to the website, query for the database, and search it for a name and date, I find a citation for that set of records. There, the database is clearly citing "Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston" and "St. Francis De Sales (Charlestown) Baptisms 1880–1892." This is not a case in which we are adding, from our own knowledge, an identifier that the provider fails to give us.
SHORT REFERENCE NOTE. You citation gives us this:
"Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920," database with images, New England Historic Genealogical Society, James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892.
How is the New England Historic Genealogical Society connected to James Bradley?
We're back to that Velcro Principle here. The name of the creator should be attached to the name of the work that it created, not to the specific item of interest.
The problem here stems from the fact that in Layer 1 you chose to identify the creator of the database and website after the name of the database, instead of before it. Now that you're doing a shortened citation, you realize that the name of the creator needs to be there somewhere. Putting the creator's name after the name of the published database and after the description of the database leaves the creator's name coupled with the name of the child being baptized.
I don't know whether this construction is the product created by your software or by your adaptation, but if you'll scan EE's many examples of citing database with images, you'll see that the short form consists of
Creator name (optional), "Database Title, Website Title, specific item.
In the short note, we do not have to say what type of database we're using. That info is given in the full citation. But if we cite the name of the creator, we cite it before the item that entity created, not after it where it will be confused with part of the information taken from the source.
WEBSITE'S PROFFERED CITATION. As you note, the website tries to make it easy for us by offering a citation:
Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920 Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2019 (From records supplied by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston)
If you choose to use this citation format, you should be aware of three issues:
- The suggested format is a Source List Entry, not the Reference Note format that we create for each and every piece of information taken from that source. If we use this format (with a period between each field) for our Reference Note, where we often have multiple sources cited in the same note, we'll create utter confusion as to where details from one source stops and details for the next source begins. In Reference Notes, each source is cited in a single sentence, with a period only at the end.
- The citation puts the URL in a paragraph by itself, as though it is a separate source from the paragraph above it. Again, if we do this in a reference note, we imply they are two different sources. The URL should be part of the same sentence that provides the other identifying detail for that source. In EE format, the URL is the place of publication and it is always handled exactly as the place of publication is handled for any published work.
More seriously,
- The citation uses italics for both the name of the database and the name of the website. A regular user of this website would know the difference. However, odds are that most of those who use our own work will not be regular users of the website and would be confused as to what exactly we are citing. A standard principle of citation (any style guide, not just EE) is that the titles of standalone publications are placed in italics, while the titles of parts of that publication are placed in quotation marks. This principle holds whether the publication is in print form or digital.
EE 2.16 "Citing Personal Names" (indexed also under "Names, personal, correcting") will guide you here.
Also EE's chapter 7 (Church Records) gives a number of examples of citing records that are in languages other than the one in which we are writing. (In each chapter, the international examples for that record type are at the end of each chapter.) EE 7.16 specifically addresses non-English church books in U.S. archives.
Again, the issue here is whether you intend for your citation to cite the imaged original or the provider's database entry.
EE, Thank you so much for…
Thank you so much for your guidance and your reply full of information. I have been working on learning and constructing the citation off and on over the weekend. I am both working with the RootsMagic software templates and with EE and pertinent QuickLessions on the website to better understand the principles.
I want to have the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston records database as the lead element so that I can use one source list entry/master source for the many citations I will have. There are over 100 church's (with multiple sacramental record books for each church) contained in the database. I will be citing these records for several generations of ancestors scattered across the landscape of eastern Massachusetts, going back to the 1850's. If I were to site the original record books as layer 1, I would have, for each church multiple master sources.
Another option, I know, is to have the compiler (NEHGS) as the lead element. For some reason, I want to feature the database, then secondarily the creator, NEHGS.
I copied a RootsMagic provided Church Records (online databases) master source and source detail template that has the compiler as the lead element. I edited the copied template so that the database is the lead element. I tweaked the Footnote template text so that the item type is after the http and access info. I tweaked the Short Footnote to add the website title and delete the item type. I have used as a guide mostly EE QuickCheck Model: Derivatives – Church Records Database, Online, p. 320 and QuickCheck Model: Archived Material: Digital Archives, p. 94, along with the EE reading, and your observations and suggestions in this email thread.
This is what my edited RM template produced once I entered the information into the master source and source detail forms.
RM Bibliography: (EE Source List Entry)
"Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920." Database with images. New England Historic Genealogical Society. American Ancestors. https://www.americanancestors.org : 2019.
RM Footnote: (EE First/Full Reference Note)
"Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920," New England Historic Genealogical Society, American Ancestors (https://www.americanancestors.org : downloaded 14 November 2019), database with images, imaged page 654, entry for James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892; citing St. Francis de Sales (Charlestown) Baptisms, 1880-1893, Archives of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston.
RM Short Footnote: (EE Subsequent/Short Note)
"Massachusetts: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920," American Ancestors, imaged page 654, entry for James Bradley, baptized 8 May 1892.
The database information and image, when viewed on American Ancestors, looks like this:
The page number is the page number from the St. Francis de Sales record book. There is no database image number displayed in this view above or in the Transcript view. The full image URL below tells us that 56954 is the volume ID (the St. Francis de Sales volume, I presume) and the page is 654. I do not see anywhere that there is a database image number.
The shortened URL version below, which is below the image online, goes to the same location online as the URL above. This adds the DB# information.
So, it seems that page 654 is for both the original and the database.
Because the name of the baptized is written in English in the left column, I decided to go with the English only. The transcript does provide each name in the entry in this format: Jacobum, James Bradley. The records can be searched by either James Bradley or Jacobum Bradley. I put the James, Jacobum Bradley in the research notes with this citation.
This is how it looks when in the citation editing screen in RM:
Am I on the right track for my purposes with the citations produced from the RM, Sue edited template? Do I need to make further adjustments? Do you have any further suggestions? Once again, I very much appreciate your expertise and guidance,
I am uploading a pdf…
I am uploading a pdf document with the two images that were in with the text of my reply of 12/9/2019, 2:48. -Sue

This rare tea bowl was thrown on a wheel and made of unrefined, iron bearing clay. Coated with a white slip with fine craquelling glaze, that partly drops from the rim running downwards the wall. Its color shows tones of soft rose nuances. The overall shape is not round but slightly distorted.
The coarse shard, visible at the skillfully shaped foot, is softened due to more than two centuries of handling. Traces of sand in the inside.
Distinct, unique feature, however, is a large stone, that bursts though the wall (ishihaze). The bowl is an excellent piece that very much suits the taste for the imperfect, accidental. Comes in perfect condition with old box and beautiful cloth bag.

Thanks for that quick answer, yeah I saw those tutos, I also follow
Uptownpapi's ones. But I think you're surely right, I haven't done anything of those elements, I thought we were able to test map without all those stuff, just by placing a spawn point and a playable area.
I'll look for this and see if the problem is resolved.

In the room that had been used to prepare tea previously, Madam Zhong and Nie Huang both stopped talking and turned to the door.
"Ah Huang, did you hear that?"
Nie Huang nodded. "That sounded like … people?"
The two of them shared a glance and leaped to their feet, scrambling for the door. There! There was a woman sitting at one of their tables with her child next to her! Were things finally going to take a turn for the better?!
"Ah Huang, go and prepare the tea." Madam Zhong waved her away in a daze, smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes and fixed her hair before she forced herself to smile. She had to leave a good impression on these people to make sure that they would come back. Maybe then … maybe then the teahouse and her son could be saved. This was her only chance.
She walked over with steps that seemed steady but actually, her legs trembled the whole way. She couldn't mess up. She had to make this work! "Welcome, welcome! I'm sorry for not greeting you sooner."
"Oh, no worries." Ai Hua turned around to Madam Zhong and examined her. The woman in front of her was a mortal. She could tell as much at one glance. Looking at her a bit longer she still couldn't find anything special about her. Was she related to His Majesty's beloved? It really was hard to tell from just looking at her. Ai Hua narrowed her eyes as if she would able to see something previously hidden if she concentrated on her more.
Madam Zhong's smile stiffened. This … What was going on? Was there something wrong with her face? She patted her cheek but neither did she find anything wrong, nor did the woman stop staring at her. She didn't dare to ask though. What if the woman felt she was rude? Then this chance she had prayed for would have been lost.
Xiao Dong looked from Madam Zhong whose forehead was already covered in cold sweat from her anxiety to his mother and tugged at Ai Hua's sleeve. "Mother, it's a teahouse. Shouldn't you order some tea? I don't care what type of tea it is."
Ai Hua finally came out of her thoughts. She coughed lightly and knocked on the back of her son's head. "What are you saying? I was about to do that. I only took in the surroundings. Such a nice establishment!" She cleared her throat again and gave Madam Zhong a smile. "Mn, then, could we get a cup of tea?"
Madam Zhong suppressed a sigh. It seemed she was overly anxious after what happened last week. The smile she had forced onto her lips diminished. Yes, it had almost been a week since then and still, she could hardly believe that her husband wasn't there anymore. Just how had that happened? Just why had he had to leave?
She took a shaky breath to calm herself and her smile returned. Nothing had changed in the teahouse since Li Bo's visit and she had dreaded the day he might return. Finally having a new customer gave her hope. Maybe they would all return with some time and she and her son could lead a normal life again. She had to try hard!
"Of course. What tea would you like?"
Ai Hua had no idea what type of tea she could get in the mortal realm so she waved. "Bring me whatever you think is good."
"Alright. Would you like some snacks too?"
Ai Hua nodded. "Sure, why not?" She should support this teahouse considering that it was owned by the family of His Majesty's beloved. She wouldn't even mind if she had to come here every day for one mortal lifetime to drink tea and eat snacks. Seriously, if the mortals didn't want to frequent this establishment, she wouldn't mind asking the other women of the dragon realm to come over! It couldn't be that hard to support one mortal family, could it?
She smiled and waited for Madam Zhong to leave. Her smile collapsed instantly and she leaned over to Xiao Dong. "Do you also feel that she was a little strange?"
"I guess that Li Bo-whoever gave her a very hard time. Ah, to think that there is a teahouse without any guests." She shook her head. "After we're done here, let's find a place to stay and ask around a little. I'd like to know just who this Li Bo is."
"Are you even listening?!"
Xiao Dong looked up and sighed. "Didn't I come here to help His Majesty out? What's about that task? I should first find out who that child is. After that, we can still take care of that other human. Honestly, it can't be that hard to—"
"Ah!" Ai Hua slapped a hand onto her son's mouth and smiled brightly. "Look at that! Those cakes look delicious!"
Madam Zhong had already returned from the kitchen and brought the snacks over. Her lips twitched when she saw how Ai Hua shut her son up. She hadn't walked in on a secret conversation, had she? She cleared her throat and put the snacks down. "The tea will be done soon! If there is anything else you'd like just tell me."
"Mn. Thank you." Ai Hua pushed the snacks over to her son and continued to smile.
Madam Zhong looked from one to the other. "Uh … There are also rooms on the second floor if you'd like to have some more privacy."
Ai Hua's eyes widened. Had she not been secretive enough?! She laughed and hurriedly shook her head. "No, no, there's no need. I think it's very nice here. We can even look outside and see all those …" People who won't frequent your establishment. She couldn't say that, could she? She awkwardly stopped at that and patted her son's back.
"Oh, alright then." Madam Zhong nodded and hurried into the preparation room. She shouldn't butt into her guests' business. They would know what they needed and what not.
Ai Hua heaved a sigh of relief. Ah, it was hard to talk with mortals! Just where were His Majesty and his beloved? It couldn't be that those two were out on a romantic outing while they were waiting here for them, could it?
Mn, she had to give it to him: Their king really knew how to woo someone. It was no wonder the Son of Heaven hadn't been able to resist back in the Nine Heavens. In this mortal life of his, it would turn out the same way.
Madam Zhong came back with a tray in hand and put down the tea with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you." Ai Hua pulled the cup over and took a sip. "Mn, your tea is good."
Madam Zhong stared at the cup that still had steam wafting up into the air. This manner of drinking freshly brewed tea that was so hot she didn't even dare to touch the cup … it was awfully familiar. Could it be that their luck was really about to return?
