Located at the foot of Monte da Corda and Monte da Pena, in one of the most picturesque valleys of the province of La Coruña / Galicia (municipality of Monfero), is the rural village of Casa Do Grilo.
Our village is located in a strategic point, just 25 minutes by car from the city of Betanzos, about 55 kilometers from A Coruña and many others from Santiago de Compostela. Despite this proximity, "Casa do Grilo" has not lost a bit of its essence. In this idyllic setting it is easy to find peace and tranquility wrapped around the materials that make up these centuries-old houses.
The beginnings of this group of traditional houses date back several centuries, in fact some of the stones that make up the set come from medieval buildings. In addition, in our complex we find typical and traditional constructions of this area of Spain such as a hórreo, two ovens, a forge, a well ... These elements, which have been rigorously recovered, give the village an exceptional ethnographic value.
In the rehabilitation of the "Casas do Grilo" a scrupulous process has been followed that has perfectly combined materials and traditional means of construction with the standards of comfort and current comfort.
One of our maxims is respect for the environment as well as the use of renewable energies. For this reason, the houses have an allocation of solar panels for the production of hot water and geothermal energy for heating. To this we must add the use of natural materials in rehabilitation that are another example of our commitment to nature.
We remind that inside the houses smoking is strictly prohibited.

My three greatest food indulges are chocolate, coffee and red wine. The quality makes all the difference. Luckily South Africa is passionate about all these three so exploring has been easy and satisfying. Wine is such an fascinating topic, I'd happily do an entire masters degree of wines. In South Africa, I have mostly done practical research. 😉 I've found pinotage, a red wine grape, South Africa's signature variety. It typically includes earthy and smoky flavours, and has often been a safe choice with dinner. My favourite red wines here so far are Rust En Vrede's.
We spent few days touring the wine estates with Satu. Lunch at Long Table restaurant at Haskell wine estate was delicious and peaceful, next to endless vineyards. For few moments, I could swear that Woody Allen was lunching next to us… Our favourite wine estate however was Ernie Els, with its stunning views, beautiful airy architecture, white wines, lunch burgers and simply great vibes. We also visited Hidden Valley – scenic but the estate was too modern for our taste. We also visited Delaire Graff – beyond beautiful and worth a visit. I'd happily dine at Indochine, their Asian inspired restaurant, but the main restaurant did not seem cozy at all. I've visited Tokara couple of times – beautiful but nothing too special.
In Cape Town we did a wine tour in Constantia on our tourist day (driving around the city with the hop on hop off bus 😀 ). I was positively surprised – I did not have too high expectations as Stellenbosch does take the title of best wine estates. We only had time to have lunch at Constantia Groot and visit Constantia Beau. Both were beautiful – Groot is bigger and thus slightly touristy, but cozy and the restaurant was idyllic as well. Beau's tasting room and restaurant is on a hill. Go for sushi or enjoy wine at the terrace overlooking the valley of Constantia.
In conclusion, my recommendations for wine estates in Stellenbosch:
Rust En Vrede: great wines, scenic and classy and beautiful architecture, good steak lunch and lovely outdoor restaurant
Ernie Els: great wines, lunch and stunning views, beautiful architecture
Delaire Graff: luxurious, beautiful and well maintained surroundings, views over Stellenbosch all the way to Cape Town
Constantia Beau and Groot in Cape Town
Vergelegen in Somerset West: prestigious, beautiful surroundings and historic atmosphere

If you are not concerned with cutting the hair quick, then a very brief, sassy hairdo you could sport is the brief pixie haircut. If you should be receiving the haircut accomplished by a specialist, you may also ask him to do a couple of variations with your initial hairline. Blending two hairstyles together is an excellent idea of checking out various patterns to create the hair look through the crowd.

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, London (London ETO) continued its 2016 Chinese New Year celebration in St Petersburg and Moscow, Russia on February 2 and 3 respectively.
To celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey, the London ETO co-organised a business seminar and reception in St Petersburg and a reception in Moscow. Both events were attended by representatives of the government and business sectors.
Key speaker at the two events in St Petersburg and Moscow was the Director-General of the London ETO, Ms Priscilla To. She briefed the guests on the latest developments in Hong Kong, including the most recent initiatives relating to the financial services sector, and highlighted Hong Kong's unique advantages and the strong links between Hong Kong and Russia.
In St Petersburg and Moscow, Ms To described the promising trade and financial ties between Russia and Hong Kong, and encouraged more Russian companies and financial institutions to set up offices and raise capital in Hong Kong. Noting Russia's long history of culture and art, she also raised the possibility of stronger co-operation between the two places on the cultural front.
She also took the opportunity of the two receptions to highlight the potential opportunities arising from the Belt and Road initiative. She said, "As a major nation along the 'Belt and Road', Russia is no doubt a key player in realising the full potentials brought by this initiative. Hong Kong looks forward to providing services for Russian companies in project financing and capital formation as well as trade facilitation.
The Chinese New Year events in Russia were co-organised by the London ETO, Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the Russia-Hong Kong Business Association.

Anyways... Last night I got to be one of the first people to watch "Dominion", a new documentary about how animals that are raised for food are treated.There was not a dry eye in the theater! Some people were worried that I might get too upset if I saw it... and they were right, it was very upsetting... but it is sort of like, EVERYONE should watch it and we SHOULD be upset.
As you know, animals are my main "special interest." More than that, animals are my heart. But I am going to switch directions suddenly and without warning right now, to bring you the following information. In Sweden, a group of people that call themselves STHLM Panda routinely film pranks and social experiments. Recently they decided to do a more serious social experiment than usual. They wanted to find out how people would react to witnessing domestic violence happening... in, of all places, an elevator, where they could not just ignore it or walk away. The group predicted that about 50% of the witnesses would intervene. The man who was portraying the abuser was even prepared to get punched a few times by other men who would defend the woman.
Instead, out of 53 witnesses who rode the elevator at various times and saw the domestic abuse taking place, only one person made any attempt to intervene. One witness even asked the man to let her (the witness) get off the elevator before he abused his victim. Does that seem sort of surprising?
What would you do if you were in this situation? Would you try to think of some way to diffuse the man's anger or distract him? Would you try to physically defend the woman? Would you grab your phone and dial 911? Or would you ask to be let off the elevator so you would not have to witness the woman's pain and would not have to take the responsibility of doing something to help her?
Okay, back to animals. Now you are trapped on an elevator, but this time it is with a man who is punching a lamb in the face repeatedly while roughly shearing the lamb's wool in a way that leaves her bleeding. Or he is throwing live newborn chicks into a grinding machine, or kicking a piglet in the side while using an electric rod to electrocute him in the head, or he is killing a mother goat while her newborn kid bleats helplessly. What do you do? Do you say something? Do you beg him to stop? Do you try to get help? Or do you get off the elevator and walk away, trying not to think about it?
The reason I wanted to see "Dominion," despite knowing ahead of time that it would break my heart, was because if I purposely didn't see it, I would feel like I was choosing to ignore it. I did bawl through most of it. It was hard because I have friends who are animals, so when I saw the baby cows and goats being stolen from their mothers I was thinking about Popcorn and Spock the cows, and Moxie and her goat babies, and so on down the line... every animal reminded me of someone I know. But I am glad I saw it, because it is better to see something than purposely not see it. (Does that even make sense?)
"Dominion" isn't usually in movie theaters. You have to go to a private screening I got to see it because
The thing that upset me most about it was that the people in this movie seemed to be enjoying hurting and killing the animals. They were purposely being cruel to the animals. It is horrendous enough that the animals are being killed, but these people were laughing and calling the animals names in the process. It is overwhelming to think about how many animals go through these torturous deaths every day.
The documentary is so upsetting, that the website actually has a page on self-care that urges people to get help if they find themselves having trouble processing their feelings about what they saw.
If you see it, I'd be interested to hear what you think of it!

Corruption in Nigeria is a blister worm, which has not just eaten profound into the textures of this country. What's more, has made a great deal of harms most Nigerians both rationally, physically, ethically, and even socially. Corruption debilitate popular governments, prompts moderate developments of records in workplaces, twist speculation dialog and upset monetary development.
On the off-chance that there is anything which works effectively, consistently and easily everywhere throughout the nation, it is the twin motor of the apparatus of gift and defilement.
Corruption have basically pervades into different circles of our national exercises. It is a worldwide marvel with certain devastation inclinations on our national improvement. Corruption is the term used to qualify the predominant social ills that influence Nigeria improvement. Achebe (1982: 38), citing from the week by week star Newspaper of May 15, 1983 composed that the corruption idea of the Nigerian culture is with the end goal that:
Shielding a normal Nigerian from being degenerate resembles shielding a goat from eating yam. Defilement in Nigeria has passed the disturbing and entered the lethal state: Nigeria will kick the bucket on the off-chance that we continue imagining that she is just slight incapacitated.
Corruption is endeavors to secure riches or influence through illicit means-private pick up at open cost; or an abuse of open influence for private advantage.
Furthermore, Corruption can be viewed as a conduct which strays from formal obligations of an open part, in light of private (picks up)- in regards to individual, close family, private faction, monetary or status picks up. It is a conduct which abuses rules against the activity of specific sorts of obligations for private (picks up)- in regards to impact. This definition incorporates such practices as pay off (utilization of prizes to distort the judgment of a man in a place of put stock in) nepotism (bestowal of support by reason of inscription relationship as opposed to relationship instead of legitimacy), and misappropriation (illicit apportionment of open assets for private employments).
Corruption is one of the uncertainty of life and property in Nigeria as it covers a wide range of unapproved conducts, which are not just restricted to the demonstrations of giving and tolerating fixes, which is likewise the primary methods for amassing snappy riches in Nigeria. It has additionally contributed monstrously to the destitution and wretchedness of a vast fragment of the Nigerian populace.
Corruption triumph in Nigeria, in light of the want to get rich speedy. It isn't something new to hear that policemen, executives, instructors, and conventional rulers can straightforwardly and unashamed interest for and acknowledge delight of various types previously doing whatever they are assumed or sometimes, really utilized to improve the situation the advancement of their nation, that is the reason corruption is a piece of life in Nigeria that the culprits of the demonstration are in a roundabout way allowed to celebrate with exemption and this defilement is an esteem people develop and acknowledge in Nigeria, and with this the lives and properties of the Nigerian natives are undermined because of the high defilement practices of the general population at the best.
Corruption is wild with the informed and the wealthy who mishandled their position and impact to wreck devastation to the general population and society. Defilement among the wealthy who make dread and weakness among their less special neighbours' and too open them to a wide range of allurements driving them to some social indecencies that will influence them and even the general public on the loose.
Corruption pulverizes the bedrock of socialization, individuals' trust are lost when they are sold out. Selling out which is another shape in defilement, which I believe is the most risky as it prompt the uncertainty of lives and properties. Politically, the supposed legislators are unfit and unpractised for the position they are fixed into subsequently they don't have anything to convey, by which the outcome impact of this marvel is political shakiness, plundering of open treasury, fumble, assault of majority rules system, out-and-out in contrast to groups desires and yearnings or all political criticism which everybody knows will prompt the Nigerian subjects.
Corruption as one of the reasons for uncertainty of lives and property in Nigeria is additionally observed as the purpose behind "cerebrum deplete" marvel in Nigeria. It dishearten abilities, development and incentive as individuals no result to corruption as the main methods for getting to the best, or open hirelings who have ability to play out their undertaking possibly so embittered with degenerate framework that they leave their arrangements.
Indeed, even subjects of degenerate country who are in outside terrains are hesitant to return home on account of defilement and its belongings. Understudy never again believe in their capacities nor even in the framework to seek after perfection in light of legitimacy, diligent work and genuineness yet rather depend on misrepresentation, authentication falsification, examination negligence; and additionally money related and sexual misbehaviour; and monetary and sexual instigation to educators and specialists.
The answer for this issue of CORRUPTION can be:
It has been broadly realized that corruption have been discussed in such a large number of reports both composed and oral meetings, in alternate points of view seething from, graphic and proposing for cure of the issues. The inquiry remains, have this exertion at any point diminished or stamped out corruption in Nigeria? The initial phase in checking defilement in Nigeria is to perceive that corruption is ruinous and wrong, since it eat deep to the weakness of others.
In conclusion, the battle against corruption is an ethical one that can't be won by enactment alone or by the sword of lawful punishment. Corruption can likewise be battled with the sword of the soul.
We should carry on with a Free and exemplary life, by so doing, degenerate practices that terms to prompt the uncertainty of lives and properties in Nigeria will be checked.

A Chat with John Chambers
I wrapped things up in Cisco at the end of May and moved onto Kansas for the last week of the Kauffman Global Scholars Program '08. Before moving on however I completed my project on the Connected Technologies for the IBSG team at Cisco. Before I left I also had the privilege to talk with John Chambers (wiki, Bio, Time, Forbes) of Cisco Systems. Since January 1995, when he assumed the role of CEO, John has grown the company from $1.2 billion in annual revenues to its current run-rate of approximately $40 billion. In November 2006, he was named Chairman of the Board, in addition to his CEO role. I managed to get some of his time and attention thanks to a common friend of ours. The main question I had for him was simply what advice he would give to aspiring entrepreneurs, and what motivates him now that he is CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world. His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is below, some of which is reiterating what I had heard throughout my time as a Kauffman Global Scholar, but coming from a MNC hi-tech titan such as John really pushes the statements home:
1. Markets
– Try to catch a market in transition
– Come with the capability to differentiate yourself from your peers in a market
– Be realistic – have you got a market in transition
– Be realistic – does your business actually differentiate you from your peers
2. Team
– Its all about the quality of your team
– If you have a great team that you can motivate well – its hard not to be successful
– If you have just very average players – then its very difficult to win
When I asked him about what motivates him:
3. Motivates him now:
– Building a company that has the chance to be the best for the world, and best in the world
– Cisco's role in the hi-tech industry has the chance to really dramatically be different from any other hi-tech company in history, and also to be dramatically different in terms of how they're viewed in the world, and not only how they give back, but how they're able to partner with countries, companies and citizens in a unique way to really make a difference in their lives and the standard of living of their organisations
– He considers Cisco a family; one that works together towards common opportunities and common challenges, and its one that really cares about each other and one that is probably one of the best places to work. They watch out for each other like a family. Its making that difference that motivates him, and realising that it is a once in a life opportunity for everyone
4. Motivated him initially:
– Loves competition
– Loves building organisation
– Loves teamwork
– Loves to win
– Loves to sell (admitted candidly!)
Week7: On Thursday 6th March we had a seminar with David Ager who discussed IDEO (WiKi) with us and their unique approach to innovation. David holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior from Harvard University. His research focuses on the intergroup nature of post-acquisition integration in the context of high growth entrepreneurial firms. Dr Ager has several years experience in the areas of joint ventures and alliances, and has also assisted a number of companies address issues of organizational development such as leadership development, talent management, change management, team building and succession planning.
Silicon Valley-based IDEO has sparked some of the most innovative products of the past decade — the Apple mouse, the Polaroid I-Zone Pocket Camera, and the Palm V, among others. But IDEO staff don't just sit around waiting for good ideas to pop into their heads. The company has institutionalized a process whereby ideas are coaxed to the surface through regular, structured brainstorming sessions. At Ideo, idea-generation exercises are "practically a religion," says Tom Kelley, general manager of IDEO Product Development. David discussed IDEO's approach to innovation under 4 distinct headings: Process, Organisation, Culture, and Leadership. In order to do this we watched the IDEO Deep Dive that was aired on ABC's Nightline program in 2000.
Process: Fail often in order to succeed sooner. Enlightened trial and error succeeds over the lone genius. Heterogeneous team with quirky & clashing ideas. Prototyping facilitates learning about the product. Prototype multiple ideas on a small scale to demo – build on something you can see. Market research – use anthropologists & engage end users – deadly if taken for granted; also immerse yourself in the associated product environment.
Organisation: Flat structure focused on learning. No type-casting allowed -> heterogeneity essential.
Culture: Don't listen to the "boss". Do the contrary! Trust in team members is core.
Leadership: Team leader only facilitates – not an expert. They solely coach the process, but not involved in ideas. This allows freedom. This process is consistent. The fact that Tom Kelley leads this approach by example only serves to increase respect and trust.
A poorly planned brainstorming session could cause more harm than good, and more frustration than anything else. That's why Silicon Valley design firm IDEO follows strict rules for sparking good ideas: morning meetings work best; 3 – 10 participants should take part. Some guidelines are more refined. Below are 7 ways to help brainstorming from 'The Art of Innovation' by Tom Kelley:
1. Sharpen the focus: start with a well-honed statement of the problem at hand. Edgy is better than fuzzy. The best topic statements focus outward on a specific customer need or service enhancement rather than inward on some organizational goal.
2. Write playful rules: IDEO's primary brainstorming rules are simple: "Defer judgment" and "One conversation at a time." The firm believes in its rules so strongly that they're stenciled in 8-inch letters on conference-room walls. "If I'm the facilitator and somebody starts a critique or people start talking, I can enforce the rules without making it feel personal," Kelley says. Other rules include, "Go for quantity," "Be visual," and "Encourage wild ideas."
3. Number your ideas: "This rule seems counterintuitive — the opposite of creativity," Kelley says. "But numbered lists create goals to motivate participants. You can say, 'Let's try to get to 100 ideas.' Also, lists provide a reference point if you want to jump back and forth between ideas."
4. Build and jump: most brainstorming sessions follow a power curve: They start out slowly, build to a crescendo, and then start to plateau. The best facilitators nurture the conversation in its early stages, step out of the way as the ideas start to flow, and then jump in again when energy starts to peter out. "We go for two things in a brainstorm: fluency and flexibility," Kelley says. "Fluency is a very rapid flow of ideas, so there's never more than a moment of silence. Flexibility is approaching the same idea from different viewpoints."
5. Make the space remember: good facilitators should also write ideas down on an accessible surface. IDEO used to hold its brainstorms in rooms wallpapered with whiteboards or butcher paper. Lately, however, the group has started using easel-sized Post-it notes. "When the facilitator tries to pull together all the ideas after the session," Kelley says, "she can stack up nice, tidy rectangular things instead of spreading butcher paper all the way down the hall."
6. Stretch your mental muscles: brainstorming, like marathon running, should begin with warm-up exercises. IDEO studied various methods of prepping for a session. For a project on the toy industry, for example, IDEO divided the group into three teams: The first team did no preparation. The second listened to a lecture on the technology involved and read background books. The third team took a field trip to a toy store. Far and away, the toy-store team produced ideas in greater quantity and quality than the other two.
7. Get physical: at IDEO, brainstorming sessions are often occasions for show-and-tell. Participants bring examples of competitors' products, objects that relate to the problem, or elegant solutions from other fields as springboards for ideas. IDEO also keeps materials on hand — blocks, foam core, tubing –to build crude models of a concept.
Six surefire ways to KILL a brainstorm. Coming up with good ideas, even in an ideal environment, is hard work. But the 6 tactics/strategies below are absolute no-no's below and will guarantee failure:
1. Let the boss speak first: nothing kills a brainstorming session like a dominating CEO or the brownnosers who rush to agree with his every statement. IDEO recommends that bosses lock themselves out of idea-generation sessions all together. Send him out for doughnuts, and you'll get better results.
2. Give everybody a turn: Kelley remembers packing 16 people into a room for one particular meeting. Each person had two minutes to speak. It was democratic. It was painful. It was pointless. It was a performance, not a brainstorm. "In a real brainstorm, the focus should never be on just one person," Kelley says.
3. Ask the experts only: when it comes to generating truly innovative ideas, deep expertise in a field can actually be a drawback. "In a brainstorm, we're looking for breadth," Kelley says. Cross-pollination from seemingly unrelated fields can lead to authentic breakthroughs.
4. Go off-site: by conducting off-site brainstorming sessions, you only reinforce the concept that great ideas only come on the beach or at high altitudes – not in the proximity of your daily work.
5. No silly stuff: Kelley remembers one brainstorming session doomed by the boss's opening remarks: All ideas had to result in something the firm could patent and manufacture. The silence that followed was deafening. Silly is important. Wild ideas are welcome. Brainstorming should be fun.
6. Write down everything: obsessive note taking is toxic to brainstorming. It shifts the focus to the wrong side of the brain. It makes the session feel like History 101. Doodles and sketches are fine. A short note that preserves a thought is acceptable. But detailed writing destroys momentum, dissipates energy, and distracts from the main purpose of the exercise: unfettered thinking. Each session should have an assigned scribe who records suggestions. And that person should not be the group facilitator.
We had our farewell lunch today with our Harvard hosts- Hugo Van Vuuren (Lebone startup, Kirkland startup) and Paul Bottino. Special guest was Noam Wasserman who queried our new understandings of the 'Founders as CEOs' issue. following our various company visits around the States.
Later in the day we visited IDEO's Boston office near Harvard. This was an extremely interesting trip as we got to throw all sorts of questions at the IDEO management present, including one from me comparing them to DEKA and Continuum, which seemed to leave them without a definitive answer! We also had a nice tour of their premises to see various aspects of what a famous innovative work environment such as theirs actually looks like. To be honest I expected more disorganisation and messiness from the non-stop innovation and brainstorming! It was actually quite organised and formal looking which I didn't associate with a idea generating atmosphere. However this is their new office so perhaps the maverick knock-on effect hasn't kicked in on the place yet. There was a very distinct difference to the work setup at DEKA and IDEO. DEKA had a huge dedicated workshop with machines manned prototyping various products/components. Whereas at IDEO there was one unused rapid prototyping machine, which seemed almost out of bounds.

It was West Coast meets Midwest on North Ninth Street last night as thousands of people crammed the street outside of The Blue Note for a dose of Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg.
The block party concert was held to mark The Blue Note�s 30th anniversary and is one of several concerts planned over the next several weeks to celebrate the local venue�s success.
�We�re trying to do a series of things,� said Richard King, owner of The Blue Note. �We�re celebrating all the different things we�ve done over the years.�
Upcoming performers include The Flaming Lips, Ghostland Observatory and Robert Randolph & The Family Band.
Tickets for the Snoop Dogg show sold out. King said about 3,000 people were expected to show up for the event. But that number didn�t include people who attended the show for free, either observing from windows and rooftops or gathered outside the gates to catch a glimpse of the famous rapper.
Columbia police Sgt. Chris Kelley said there were seven officers working the show as well as two plainclothes officers in the crowd. �We don�t expect anything to happen,� he said. �Snoop Dogg is a famous person and draws a big crowd. You want to be prepared in case anything happens.�
Kendra Jackson, 40, was one of hundreds of fans lined up behind the gates along East Walnut Street to see the show for free. She said she didn�t believe Snoop Dogg was actually coming until recently. �For him to come here, that is huge,� she said. �That�s why I am here. I need to see it to believe it.�
Melissa Fryer, 35, said this was her first Snoop Dogg concert. She brought a copy of the CD �Doggystyle� with her on the off chance she�d get a chance to meet him. �He came out with this album in �93 when I was in high school,� Fryer said. �I want to get it signed.�
The show kicked off with Ice Cube, who played for an hour beginning about 8 p.m. His set included �Natural Born Killaz,� �You Can Do It� and �Check Yo Self.�
Around 9:50 p.m., after a 20-minute delay, the audience began chanting �Snoop Dogg� and the lanky lyricist came on stage, greeted by a loud cheer and thousands of waving arms.
Snoop Dogg opened his set with songs including �Paper�d Up,� �Gangsta Luv� and �Gin and Juice.� The crowd was jumping; the bass was thumping.
Kara Harris, 27, was one of dozens gathered on a nearby rooftop to watch the concert. She brought a sign that read �Snoop D-O Double G!!!�
�I did it because I love him,� she said. �I�ve been listening to him since I was in fifth grade. I love me some Snoop!�
King first invited Snoop Dogg to The Blue Note five years ago after a conversation with the rapper�s agent. He said he has met the rapper on a few occasions.
�Snoop is my man. I have known his agent for a while,� King said. �I been doing this for a long time, and you build these relationships up and that�s how these things work.�

No one seems to be discussing the weather lately, which is strange for Melbourne. I guess we're all just glad we didn't have many bush fires this summer and we're enjoying the glorious cool, sunny weather.
But when will we get some proper rain?
We walked in Darebin Parklands today and it was disturbing to see how dry everything is.
I'm interested in weeds, especially the edible ones, but I didn't recognise the plants that are surviving in the desert landscape of the dog area of the park. I wonder what they all are? Some were dandelions, those mineral-filled nutritious plants that are so ubiquitous, but they were the only ones I knew.
In one area where there has been a bonfire, a baby wattle has sprouted. I think I read somewhere that wattles are one of the first-line plants after a fire. They grow, add nitrogen to the soil, and prepare the way for other plants to colonise.
Seeing that little plant made me think of the plant that has sprouted in one of my vegetable beds in my own garden. (I've transplanted it, but I'm not sure it will survive.)
It's a baby lemon scented gum, probably offspring of the giant in our street. (The tree is so tall I couldn't get far enough away to get the whole tree in this photo.)
Friday, 3 April 2015
it's very dry here

Thanks, Mitch and Molly. I should tell you, though, that the little tree isn't looking so good. Here's hoping it recovers.

Accident forgiveness part 2
So now you know about accident forgiveness for your car insurance coverage. What do you do next?
- Maybe you haven't been in an accident yet. If you haven't, now's a good time to prepare. Call up your car insurance company and find out if they offer accident forgiveness for your first at fault accident. Find out what kind of policies they have, and whether they offer total forgiveness or partial forgiveness. Most importantly, find out if you would qualify for the forgiveness if you got into an accident. If your company does not offer forgiveness, it might be time to start shopping around again. After all, forgiveness could save you hundreds, even thousands, of dollars on your insurance.
- If you already do have an accident, check with your car insurance provider to see if they offer accident forgiveness and if you qualify. If you don't, don't fret. Some companies offer accident forgiveness as bait to get new customers, so if you switch companies you might be able to get it forgiven even if it happened before you were with that company. Shop around and compare quotes to find out what the best way is to go.
- Heck, always shop around. Every time something new happens to affect your policy, start looking. You are not in a long term relationship here. If you add a new car, a new name, move, get in a wreck, whatever happens, start looking at the competition to make sure that you're getting the best deal. There's shame in asking about little extras like accident forgiveness and discounts, because these could save you bags of gold in the future.

This month (and a little beyond) our entire church has the opportunity to read Thom Raines I am a Church Member. We have one copy for every family of the church available for free. It's a short book that could just about be read in one sitting, but we'll take it one chapter at a time.
You'll no doubt find ideas in the book that resonate with you and some that you will rebel against. Church membership may mean something different to all of us.
In our next Coffee Talk Sunday School class (that will be in the conference room), we'll have coffee, snacks and a few table cards with discussion questions. You don't have to have read the book to participate, but it will be helpful.

Chin straps to keep your mouth shut. A wristband that gives electric shocks: They BOTH snore, so could this sleep starved couple find a cure?
- Louise Atkinson, 49 and husband John, 50, both snore heavily
- They both try different anti-snoring devices each night for a week
For nearly 20 years, my husband Jonathan and I have happily shared a marital bed — and with the late-night partying and early parenting years behind us, we should be getting the best sleep of our lives.
But we're not. There's a new interloper between our crisp cotton sheets — the sonorous rumble and snort of heavy snoring. From both of us.
I'm 49 and Jon, a design consultant, is 50. We're not overweight, we're healthy and fit, but the snorts and gasps have become ridiculous. It's a race to hit the pillow every night, as whoever drops off to sleep first wins — leaving the other with no choice but to lie there and endure the cacophony.
Keeping quiet: Louise and husband John are kept awake at night by the other's snoring
Our friends also complain about their partners' snoring (although it's usually the women moaning about their men, not a mutual moanathon like ours) and there's a lot of talk about the slippery slope to separate rooms. In fact, two in five Britons say their partner's snoring robs them of sleep, with one in five claiming it leaves them permanently exhausted.
So Jon and I decide to try a different anti-snoring device each night for a week. Will we find one that leaves us well-rested, or will we feel more sleep-deprived than ever?
She says:
Louise, 49, says: 'My nights are ruined later, when I'm jolted awake by the sound of a JCB digger from his side of the bed'
I usually fall asleep really quickly — Jon will half-jokingly count me down 'ten, nine, eight…' and I rarely hear him say five. But my nights are ruined later, when I'm jolted awake by the sound of a JCB digger from his side of the bed. And it's worse when he's had a few drinks.
At times, I've banished him to a pull-out bed in one of the kids' rooms, but that's now out of bounds as they complain his snoring keeps them awake. Our youngest has even resorted to wearing earplugs.
When I present Jon with our goody bag of snoring gadgets, he is thoroughly disdainful, muttering grumpily about snake oil and hocus-pocus. But he eventually selects his first weapon — SnoreBand Nasal Strips (£4.95 for a pack of 30), which you tape over the bridge of your nose.
These claim to stop your nostrils collapsing as you breathe at night — a common problem that can cause you to breathe (and therefore snore) through your mouth. Jon says the strips do seem to keep his nostrils open — but sadly his snoring doesn't improve.
The following night he tries NasiVent (£21.96 for four reusable tubes in different sizes). The idea is that you insert one of the hollow silicone tubes into each nostril to keep them open — maximizing airflow and encouraging you to breathe through your nose. But this device, too, has precisely zero impact on Jon's snoring.
It's the same result on the third night with the Good Night Anti-Snoring Ring (£35, in sizes small, medium or large) which has to be worn on a little finger. The bumps on the inside of the ring put pressure on acupuncture points, which apparently stimulates the zones that free-up the nasal passages and adjust 'natural biorhythms'.
Even less successful is the Snoring Solutions Jaw Strap (£17.50), which an extremely reluctant Jon lets me strap him into on the fourth night.
Louise and John were willing to try anything to stem their snoring - even if it made them look a bit ridiculous!
Who woke up who this time?: Louise and John haven't had a full night's sleep in years thanks to each others' snoring
This piece of rubber, with adjustable Velcro straps, is cunningly fashioned to keep your mouth firmly shut and your jaw pulled forwards. This supposedly stops the soft palate at the back of your throat collapsing down to close off your airway (the most common source of extreme snore volume).
But Jon thinks he looks so ridiculous, he rips it off in disgust before falling asleep.
He is more keen to try the Orthopaedic Anti Snore Pillow (£16.99) on the fifth night. This supports your neck to encourage you to lie on your back — keeping your jaw from dropping into maximum snore-volume mode.
Jon wakes in the morning and declares it a great success. But unbeknown to him, I've downloaded an ingenious app called SnoreLab on my mobile phone (the best £1.49 I've ever spent).
Jon certainly comes to bed with delightfully fresh breath and — to my astonishment — both of us enjoy the soundest, most snore-free sleep we've had for a very long time.
It records your snoring and produces a graph in the morning with peaks and troughs indicating your snore volume and duration. And, at the touch of a button, you get to hear what you sound like in full nocturnal song.
Jon's graph reveals a long series of extremely high snoring peaks (above 'loud' and bordering on 'epic' on the SnoreLab volume scale). That comfy pillow was clearly no match for a bottle of Cotes du Rhone and a good set of lungs.
The following night, Jon is surprisingly happy to give the Nytol Anti-Snoring Throat Spray (£12.99) a try, saying its deeply medicinal smell gives him faith that it actually might work.
This product is a cross between shaving foam and spray cream, and you squirt it into the back of your mouth. It contains seaweed and rosehip extract that supposedly lubricate and soothe any tissue swelling — thus reducing the vibrations that cause snoring.
Jon certainly comes to bed with delightfully fresh breath and — to my astonishment — both of us enjoy the soundest, most snore-free sleep we've had for a very long time.
So the Nytol is a keeper. But Jon is determined to hang on to his beloved anti-snore pillow in the hope the combination of the two will give him the best chance of keeping his inner warthog at bay.
He says:
John, 50, says: 'I don't think my snoring is a problem. It doesn't bother me, except for when I very occasionally snort myself awake, or when I (more commonly) get woken by a swift kick to the shins from Louise'
I don't think my snoring is a problem. It doesn't bother me, except for when I very occasionally snort myself awake, or when I (more commonly) get woken by a swift kick to the shins from Louise. The real problem is having to lie there listening to her snoring. My wife's repertoire ranges from an over-content purring cat to a clapped-out Datsun that's missing an exhaust. She also has the ability to rattle and splutter on the out-breath as well as the in.
And I'm worried about her sleep apnoea — a condition where the throat muscles relax during sleep, causing the breathing to temporarily stop.
In Louise's case, her breathing becomes more and more intermittent until she goes into full-blown apnoea arrest and stops breathing for up to 25 seconds.
At this stage I have CPR drills running through my head and often think: 'Is she dead?' Then, just as I'm about to shake her, she'll take a huge gasp of air and get on with the proper job of snoring again. It can't be healthy — for either of us. So Louise is the first to take a really tough one for the team and try the 'face-bra', or Jaw Strap.
Even though it pushes her lips into a sexy 'selfie' pout, it's a total passion killer. And in the morning I wake to find a stream of dribble trickling out of her forcibly closed mouth — and a good solid snore resonating from her throat. Neither of us had any idea she could snore so successfully with her mouth closed.
I'm not convinced that having either one of us trussed up like Hannibal Lecter is going to help things — and it certainly won't add sparkle to our sex life.
The next night, things are even worse. Louise emerges from the bathroom smiling alluringly, then opens her mouth to reveal a monstrous plastic gum-shield clenched over her top and bottom teeth. This SnoreWizard (£44.99) pulls the bottom jaw forwards all night, keeping the airway past the soft palate clear.
Although John doesn't think his snoring is an issue, Louise disagrees (even though she snores too!)
Apparently, this is the bit where the loudest snoring is produced and which, in Louise's case, sometimes collapses, causing her to stop breathing.
But she lies awake (so not snoring — bonus?), complaining that it has triggered a striking pain in her lower jaw and intolerable pressure on her top front teeth. She ditches it to get some shuteye.
Next on her list is Snore Gone (£10.45), a battery-powered unit the size of a large watch. You wear it on your wrist, and it helpfully delivers a prickle of electrical current to your arm when it detects snoring. This supposedly wakes you, so you'll turn over.
It's a barbaric instrument of torture, if you ask me, and superfluous. Why do either of us need electric shocks when the other is perfectly happy to kick or prod (both effective wake-up devices)?
Besides, we can snore in any position — on our back, on either side, even face-down — so changing position is hardly going to help.
Unsurprisingly, that one didn't last the night either.
John was most impressed with the Nytol Anti-Snoring Throat Spray (£12.99) which was one of the few products that had any effect on his monstrous snoring
The Anti-Snoring Ring is as ineffectual for Louise as it is for me, and the Nasal Strips and NasiVent tubes don't work either. Relief, when it finally comes, is in chemical form — the Helps Stop Snoring Throat Rinse and Throat Spray (£7.15 each).
After swilling and gargling with the rinse and blasting the back of her throat with the bitter-tasting spray, Louise had her best night's sleep in ages — and so did I.
The products contain essential oils that 'lubricate and tone' the soft tissues at the back of the throat, stopping them from vibrating and collapsing.
Louise also tried the Nytol spray but it made her retch.
This has been an interesting week, involving torture and humiliation, but hard evidence from the SnoreLab app reveals that both of us can sleep through deafening noises from the other — and there's always the throat spray and mouth wash to freshen every snoring breath.

The Benefits of Tea – Jesse Jacobs (Video)
In this episode of the Sixty and Me Show I had the pleasure of sharing my own passion for tea with Jesse Jacobs, the founder of Samovar Tea Lounge, based in San Francisco.
We discussed many aspects of the art of tea, including important things to consider when choosing a specific kind of tea (oolong tea, green tea, white tea, pu-erh tea, and the many herbal teas) and the health benefits of tea. Enjoy the show!
We also talked about the importance of the drinking tea as a meditative ritual – how doing this in a mindful way creates an experience that helps to reduce stress and create peace in our over active world.
On a practical level, Jesse gave an excellent short beginners' course on getting started with tea. In addition, he explained how to mediate with tea and how this simple practice can help us deal with the complex world around us. We even talked about why taking your date out for a pot of tea may be a great romantic move. Enjoy the Show!
What benefits of drinking tea have you seen in your life? If you could ask Jesse Jacobs one question about tea, what would you ask? Please add your thoughts in the comments section below.
Let's Have a Conversation!

Love drinking an all natural ginger tea. All you need is to cut a slice of ginger and toss in some lemon juice and honey and you have wellness and deliciousness in a cup!
by the way, yesterday I showed a tea service in china, maked by ma family, décades ago ! my ancestors had have a manufacture of chinaof Limoges…many are beautifull. Can you speak about it ? (Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland, was originally from Limoges). (I don't sell nothing ! it's just for the pleasure to see something beautifull !)
quit drinking tea about 30 yrs ago after realizing it made me feel ill…Have stuck to coffee ever since (Love my coffee)

I prefer green tea, but was raised on black tea by my English mother. Also like jasmine tea.
I love English Breakfast tea
Lady Grey by Twinings…incomparable flavour of bergamot!
Not old enough to drink tea!

I'd be passionate about tea, too if I could sit & discuss it with Jesse! No, all kidding aside. . .I'm a tea lover! Would truly love to go to an English (or Irish) High Tea in London; and a Japanese Tea Ceremony. Hmmm. . .two more things for the bucket list!

Don't like tea
I am a TEA LOVER, Kulang ang buhay ko without TEA with milk sa araw-araw !!!
i like my tea ,india celon mix,no sugar very strong,little milk,thats how i remember60yrs ago my granny made it
It was wonderful listening to Jesse Jacobs talk about tea. The ritual of tea for me growing up in Buckinghamshire, was warm and wonderful, always with a tea cosy atop the teapot. People speak of comfort food, this was my comfort. So much so that 3 years ago searching for a tea cosy for a friend and not being able to find one, I began making them. I now have a Facebook page for CosyKozees, facebook.com/teacoziesbyCosyKozees and an Etsy shop etsy.com/shop/CosyKozees. I am 68 and this is a fun hobby for me. I love making each one and my cozies have shipped all over the globe.
Drinking iced black tea right now!
( freshly brewed, no sweetener)
I love your articles so much I put a lot of them in my favorites to enjoy more than once!
I love Tea…always have.
I am sorry, I really do not like tea!
Wonderful herbal and spice teas have become a very important part of every day for me

I have an obsession with Nachos, the melted cheese, crispy corn chips, with all the toppings. I like mine fully loaded – hot and spicy seasoned ground beef, salsa, sour cream and guacamole, I want it all. I still haven't tried this recipe yet but I'm so excited to!
I found out about this recipe while watching one of my favourite youtubers MsGoldgirl the recipe is originally by The Pioneer Women.
Fully Loaded Nachos
Prep Time – 10 Minutes Cooking Time – 15 minutes Servings – 8 Servings
You will need…
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
2 pounds Ground Beef
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1 can (14-5 Ounce) Pinto Beans, Chili Beans, Or Ranch Style Beans
1/2 cup Hot Water
Tortilla Chips
1-1/2 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
1-1/2 cup Monterey Jack Cheese
6 whole Roma Tomatoes, Diced
1 whole Jalapeno, Diced Finely
1/2 bunch Cilantro Leaves, Chopped
Juice Of 1 Lime
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 whole Avocado (pitted And Diced)
Sour Cream (optional)
What you do…
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and half the onion. Cook it until starting to soften, then add the ground beef. Cook the meat until it's totally browned, then drain the fat. Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Add the beans and hot water and stir. Reduce the heat to low and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
To make the pico de gallo, combine the other half of the onion with the tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir it together and set it aside.
To build the nachos, place a layer of tortilla chips on a platter or plate. Top with a layer of the beef/bean mixture, then all but 1/4 cup of the cheddar cheese. Add another layer of chips, another layer of the beef/bean mixture, and the Monterey Jack cheese. Add a final small layer of chips, then a small layer of beef and beans, then a final sprinkling of cheddar.
Microwave in 45 second increments until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (You may also place the platter into a 325 degree oven if it's heatproof. Just leave it in until the cheese is melted.)
Immediately sprinkle on the diced avocado and plenty of pico de gallo.
Optional: Add dollops of sour cream here and there!
Serve immediately!
I hope you enjoy this recipe and leave your comments below if you try this recipe out and let me know what you think!!

The Wonderful Uses For PayPal
May 11, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments
I was just sitting and thinking about how long a way things have come.
This past week, a friend who is in a different country wanted us to buy her mom flowers and candy for Mother's Day. She said to buy it here (because she doesn't trust ordering flowers and candy online), and she'll said just send us the money through PayPal.
We bought the flowers and candy and hand delivered it to her mom. Her repayment was prompt too! AND it was instant because she just sent the money via PayPal from one country to the other.
Sometimes, I'm just blown away by how far we've come.
