Willpower, part 9: an image of how to use willpower
[This post is part of a series on willpower and how to understand and use it. If you don't see a Table of Contents to the left, click here to view the series, where you'll get more value than reading just this post.]
Yesterday's post showed some delightful images of children and marshmallows from a video of the marshmallow experiment. If you want to see cute images and hear cute music, the video is great.
If you want to improve your willpower, the video doesn't help much. It shows people struggling to use willpower, so you can empathize with them, all the more since children haven't learned to hide their struggles as well, and they're on hidden camera. If that helps you, great.
A major lesson the author of the experiment described was that a successful strategy to avoid eating the marshmallow was not to look at it and to find ways of thinking of other things. My advice is similar. The video shows kids looking at and fixating on the marshmallow — exactly what not to do. The video looks cute, but shows how to give in to temptation.
The best way to use willpower is to remove the need for willpower. The picture below shows how to use willpower. Think of this question while looking at it:
One person is leaving the room with the marshmallow to do other things. The other is staying in the room, sitting on a chair facing the marshmallow, mere inches from their face. Which one do you think will more easily not eat it?
If you want to avoid temptation, use willpower effectively. Don't fixate on what you want to avoid, using as much willpower as possible. Use a little willpower at first to remove the need for it later. Walking out of the room and doing other things (in this case literally, but figuratively for other situations) works best.
If you want to struggle, use nothing but brute-force willpower, but prepare yourself for failure.
If you want results, use a little willpower at first so you don't have to later.

Does Your Hometown Care? lyrics - Superchunk
Does Your Hometown Care? Song Lyrics
When you came back to this town
You brought this weather with you
A silver sun that won't go down
They've got you down the
Pulled you to the ground
Smothered you with kisses
I said/felt I know what he misses
About this crowd
And I ask you: "Does your hometown care?"
Friends in the back
Leave the driver to his ways/wings
One more sick display
I think I could swallow that p**s
Have a second guess
Give a secret test
You think you must be passing
But your gravity passed
And I ask you: "Does your hometown care?"

Halloween parties and costumes can distract children from performing day to day important functions; and as parents we must deal with that plus bags of candy and snacks that can wreak havoc on kid's teeth. Don't be forced into emergency treatment at the dentist – be proactive with your children's dental health.
Dental decay seems to be a pervasive problem for children … that is because their teeth have not fully developed lacking the strength of adult teeth. Plus monitoring their diet is very hard as they often eat away from home.
There are things you can do to help keep your children cavity free …
Teach them how to perform daily oral maintenance. Provide the correct tools and monitor their use. One of those tools might include an electronic toothbrush. An electronic toothbrush often comes with a timer to signal your child to know they have brushed a full two minutes. A toothpaste or gel that contains fluoride helps to strengthen dental enamel.
Flossing daily removes debris your child's toothbrush missed, and when used correctly flossing also helps stimulate healthy gum tissue. While brushing is necessary for great dental health, flossing is just as important so make sure you incorporate this habit into your child's daily oral health care routine.
Don't allow sugary treats to take up residence in your child's room. Keep in mind that what your child may enjoy most is the act of trick or treating. It's not necessary for them to eat everything they collect.
Finally, make sure your child sees the family dentist every six months. A thorough cleaning will remove all plaque that has formed since their last appointment. Plaque build-up leads to dental decay.
Your dentist can offer preventative measures such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants that will provide protection to the chewing surfaces of your child's teeth not already impacted by dental decay.
Enjoy the holiday, but do everything you can do make sure your children are maintaining good dental habits.

Inspired by the classic tradesman's box, the Watsonian Mule is ideal for riders who need to carry serious amounts of kit, whether for camping, fishing or commercial use.
Designed & made in Britain, the Mule sidecar has a substantial trunk that provides approximately 300 litres of carrying capacity. Built from strong and durable galvanised steel and finished in a tough powder coating, it measures 1370 mm x 480 mm x 480 mm, it and is secured by an integrated dual locking mechanism.
Watsonian developed a new box section chassis for the Mule, featuring Flexitor suspension and a 10" steel wheel. It is fitted with a Classic mudguard, made in GRP, and is supplied complete with lights, indicators and a wiring loom, prepared for connection to the motorcycle's 12V system.
A spare wheel is mounted to the back of the trunk and, because all sidecars are built to order in Watsonian's UK factory, various accessories can be added, including luggage racks, spotlights and 'jerry cans'.

The gut flora is as unique to you as your fingerprint. Your microbiome has many useful functions which include absorbing and producing nutrients, maintaining the gut lining to keep out toxins and unwelcome microorganisms, providing immunity, and producing mood regulating hormones. The microbiome can be disrupted by a number of lifestyle and environmental factors including medications and antibiotics, chronic constipation, stress and diet. Refer to our demo for an example set of test results.
Dysbiosis is an unhealthy imbalance in the gut microbiome which not only affects bowel function (causing irritable bowel symptoms), but can also lead to inflammatory and autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, and even mental health problems. This comprehensive digestive stool analysis will show you if you have an undergrowth of overgrowth in specific gut microbes. If you'd like a nutritional review and assessment of your test results by our Clinical Nutritionist, consider adding on a Nutrition Assessment.
Macroscopy looks at stool colour and formation, as well as for evidence of mucous or blood which may require further investigation.
Brown is the colour of normal stool. Other colours may indicate abnormal gastrointestinal conditions.
A formed stool is considered normal. Variations to this may indicate abnormal gastrointestinal conditions.
Mucous production may indcate the presence of an infection, inflammation or malignancy.
This test is used to detect bleeding in the digestive tract, and is used in Australia's National Bowel Screening program. This test can detect tiny traces of blood in the stool, and can indicate the presence of disease at a relatively early stage when stools may appear normal.
Microscopy is performed for detection of blood cells which may indicate infections or inflammation, as well as markers of maldigestion. The presence of food remnants may indicate poor digestion from too little gastric acid or reduced output from the pancreas.
Imbalances in gut pH influence short chain fatty acid production and their effect.
The presence of red blood cells in the stool may indicate the presence of an infection, inflammation or haemorrhage.
The presence of white blood cells in the stool may indicate the presence of an infection, inflammation or haemorrhage.
The presence of food remnants may indicate maldigestion.
The presence of meat fibres may indicate maldigestion from too little gastric acid or reduced output from the pancreas.
The presence of vegetable fibres may indicate maldigestion from gastric hypoacidity or diminished pancreatic output.
Too much fat in your faeces is called steatorrhoea which can be a sign of malabsorption. This means your body either isn't absorbing nutrients properly or isn't making the enzymes or bile needed to digest food effectively.
The presence of starch grains may indicate carbohydrate maldigestion.
Significant numbers of bacteria are normally present in the healthy gut. Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria in particular, are essential for gut health because they help to inhibit gut pathogens and carcinogens, control pH, reduce cholesterol and synthesise vitamins.
Bifidobacteria are considered "friendly" bacteria that are found in fermented foods like yogurt and cheese, and are used in probiotics. The gut needs these bacteria to perform several jobs, including breaking down foods, taking in nutrients, and preventing overgrowth of "bad" pathogenic bacteria.
Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are essential for gut health because they prevent overgrowth of gut pathogens, and contribute to managing intestinal pH, cholesterol, and synthesis of vitamins and disaccharidase enzymes.
Most E. coli strains are harmless and play an essential role in keeping the digestive system healthy, helping to digest food and producing Vitamin K. However, some E. coli bacteria are pathogenic and can cause disease.
Together with other healthy bacteria and fungi, enterococci work to keep unhealthy (pathogenic) bacteria from flourishing and helps to restore the balance of the microbiome.
This panel also looks for evidence of other bacteria which may be pathogenic in nature, such as Citrobacter and Klebsiella.
Klebsiella forms part of the normal gut flora in small numbers, but can be an opportunistic pathogen
Citrobacter is considered an opportunistic pathogen and therefore can be found in the gut as normal flora. It is occasionally implicated in diarrhoeal disease, particularly C. freundii, C. diversus and C. koseri.
Pseudomonas is found in water and soil as well as fruits and vegetables, and is considered an opportunistic pathogen.
Part of the normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract, though has been shown to be an independent causative agent of intestinal disorders. May also play a role as an opportunistic organism in enteric infection due to other pathogens. Food has been implicated as a vehicle of infection.
Campylobacter infection (campylobacteriosis) is a bacterial infection which most commonly causes gastroenteritis (also known as 'gastro') but may also cause illness affecting the entire body.
Salmonella infection usually results from ingestion of the bacteria from contaminated food, water or hands. Eggs, milk, meat or poultry are particularly high risk foods.
Streptococcus is common in the gut flora. With the exception of very rare cases, streptococcus species are not implicated in gastric disease.
Yersinia infection (yersiniosis) is a bacterial infection of the bowel (intestine). It occurs worldwide, but is fairly uncommon. Many domesticated and wild animals carry Yersinia in their intestines, and spread to people occurs by eating food or water contaminated by infected faeces.
Enterococcus species are part of normal flora in the human gut, but can however be implicated in a variety of infections of which urinary tract infections are the most common.
Most E. coli strains are harmless and play an essential role in keeping the digestive system healthy, helping to digest food and producing Vitamin K. However, some E. coli bacteria are pathogenic and can cause disease.
Other bacteria tested for include alpha-haemolytic Streptococcus, gamma-haemolytic Streptococcus, Pseudomonas species, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Bacillus species, Citrobacter amalonaticus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae
This test looks for evidence of candida or other yeast overgrowth. Whilst yeasts are a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract, they may become an opportunistic pathogen after disruption of the mucosal barrier, imbalance of the normal intestinal flora or impaired immunity. This can be caused by things like antibiotics, antacids and stress.
Candida albicans is the main type of yeast which colonises the human body. It normally lives in the gastrointestinal tract and other areas of the body without causing problems, but imbalance in the microbiome can lead to overgrowth.
Geotrichum yeasts can be found in soil, dairy products and in human skin and mucosae, and are usually only considered an opportunistic pathogen in immune-compromised hosts. Geotrichum may play a role in IBS.
A common environmental yeast which is not considered pathogenic in nature. These yeasts are ubiquitous in the environment and can be found on fruits, vegetables and other plant materials.
Whilst yeasts are a normal inhabitant of the gut, they may become an opportunistic pathogen after disruption of the mucosal barrier, imbalance of the normal intestinal flora or impaired immunity. This can be caused by things like antibiotics, antacids and stress.
Some gut problems can be a consequence of an undetected gut infection. A significant number of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) cases could actually be due to undiagnosed gut parasites such as Blastocystis hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis.
Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite that causes the diarrhoeal disease cryptosporidiosis. Both the parasite and the disease are commonly known as "Crypto."
Symptoms of Giardia infection can occur with 3 to 25 days and may include diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, pale greasy foul-smelling stools, stomach cramps, passing excess gas, bloating, weight loss and fatigue.
Amoebiasis is a parasitic disease (also known as amoebic dysentery) caused by infection with Entamoeba histolytica or another amoeba (for example, E. dispar). The disease may not cause symptoms in most individuals.
Some research suggests that people with IBS may be more likely to have Blastocystis hominis organisms in their stool.
The bacteria can be present in the gut for months or year and misdiagnosed as IBS. Infection can cause diarrhoea, abdominal pain and cramping, anal itching, nausea, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness, depression, weight loss and fatigue.
Your test kit and all instructions are posted directly to you, and there is no need to visit a collection centre.
Mail your sample back to the lab in the prepaid envelope.
Results for this test typically available in 2-3 weeks and will be published in your online dashboard.

This post kind've started as a disaster and turned into a masterpiece. A "happy accident" as my high school photo teacher, Ms. Beary would say.
I was trying to make Roasted Cherry Coconut Almond Vegan Ice Cream, and aside from it being way too many words it was also a rock solid block of ice after it hung out in the freezer for a day.
Back to the drawing board.
The greatest blessing about it was that I was planning on swirling the fudge sauce into the ice cream but the fudge was hot so I couldn't and I saved it to pour on top and OH MY GOD IT WILL MELT YOUR FACE OFF.
You know, like in School of Rock when fake Mr. Schneebly Jack Black talks about the face melting solo?
This fudge is the face melting solo.
It can melt the rock solid ice block of cherries and coconut in your freezer into the most delectable swirl of flavors you've ever had.
I found myself sneaking demitasse spoonfuls of the fudge for breakfast the next day.
Kind've like when I had 10x the sweet tooth I do now in middle school and kept a can of vanilla frosting in the back of the fridge for an after school pick me up every now and again.
Make it, maybe/definitely double the recipe.
I'll show you the ice cream that fed my garbage disposal anyway, since it turned into this gorgeous sunset lavender and who doesn't want to look at aerial shots of scoops?
Vegan Hot Fudge
makes about a cup
(adapted from Minimalist Baker)
1 can full fat coconut milk- DON'T SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE
1/3 c cocoa powder
1/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
zest of one orange if you're feeling like Ina- maybe a splash of Grand Marnier as well?!
pinch salt
Open the very still can of coconut milk. If you have just gotten it home from the grocery store or you have shaken it recently, let it take a nap for about an hour. Scoop all of the thick white cream off the top into a saucepan and store the milkier thinner stuff on the bottom in the fridge for smoothies or whatnot.
Whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar and salt.
Cook over med-high heat until it starts to bubble and it's super shiny, about five minutes. Lower the heat if it gets too bubbly/starts to boil. You want a gentle simmer and you want to be constantly whisking so you don't have burnt flavored fudge on your hands.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and orange zest only if you're in the mood for orangey chocolate.
Serve over EVERYTHING.
Keeps well in a jar in the fridge for up to two weeks, just pop it in the microwave for a quick thirty or heat the whole jar in a pot with warm water like it's a baby's bottle before serving.

We are preparing to move forward, in phases, with construction of the remaining improvements to SR 520 in Seattle – what we call the "Rest of the West." The Portage Bay Bridge and Roanoke Lid Project is one of the major phases in the SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Program's reconstruction of the highway's west side corridor.
The 1960s-era Portage Bay Bridge is nearing the end of its functional life. Supported by hollow concrete columns, the four-lane bridge could fail in a severe earthquake. This project will replace the old bridge with a seismically stronger structure. The project also will extend SR 520's transit/HOV system and cross-lake bicycle and pedestrian trail from Montlake to I-5.
Conceptual rendering of a new Portage Bay Bridge.
Our website's planning-documents webpage contains extensive information about the Seattle Community Design Process and other project-design initiatives and reports. There will be additional design work for future Rest of the West projects, with additional opportunities for public comment.
This project is part of the remaining $1.6 billion in SR 520 improvements from Lake Washington to I-5 – the "Rest of the West." These improvements are funded by the 2015 Connecting Washington transportation legislation. For more information on SR 520 funding, visit the Budget and Performance page.
Here are some resources you can use to stay informed about this project:

"on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you." NIV translation
For us that believe, when Jesus returns we will be with Him and nothing that is unholy will be there. We will stand amazed in His glorious presence!
"With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith." NIV translation
Paul continues to explain that he prays for the Thessalonians to walk in the Spirit and that God would use them. He knew that God had prepared things for them to do (see Ephesians 2:10) and prayed that God would complete the work that He had started.
"We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ." NIV translation
Paul tells us the purpose of his prayer and that is the same purpose that we all should have for everything that we do. That purpose is to glorify God which is to let people see His presence in and through us. That can only happen through the grace of God.

Edit 9/7/09: Use this link to receive $25 free from Lending Club when you sign up.
Microloans are all the rage now. With my "high-yield" savings account getting around 1.4% interest as of date, I needed something with a little more oomph. I had some success with Prosper (despite 2 of my 12 notes defaulting), and shortly after Prosper entered its "quiet period" I got into Lending Club.
The interface of Lending Club is clean, and because you can invest as little as $25 in a loan, they make it very easy to help hedge your risk by diversifying into many different small loans. I only put a little money in to experiment, but so far it has resulted in impressive results:
Here are the notes I have invested in, with some details obscured for privacy:
Transferring in funds in and out of Lending Club has proven to be relatively painless, and I plan to continue small investments to see how my strategy works. No defaults as of yet, but it is still early. My first defaults did not show up in Prosper for at least a few months.
Anyone else have any success stories with Micro Loan sites?

REI Quarter Dome 3 Backpacking Tent
The purchase of this tent was a direct response to my complaints of my Passage 2 tent. I wanted more room for a second person, with less weight. I own the previous version (2014) of this tent.
Name: REI Co-op Quarter Dome 3 Tent
Best Use: Backpacking
Seasons: 3-season
Size: 3 person
Doors: 2
Weight: 4 lbs, 9 oz
Poles: 1, aluminum
Tent material: Ripstop Nylon
Set-up: Freestanding
What I Like:
Space: Like most people (I think?), I like the idea of buying a tent for one more person than you'll actually be sharing the tent with. AKA, a "3-person" is a "2-person + gear" tent. Even with the 2014 version, this tent is super spacious for 2 people, and I can see that yes, 3 people could fit, but it would be tight. The headspace is really nice. Since there are more "arms" on the pole that connect to tabs on each side of the tent, it creates a lot more horizontal and vertical room, so you can easily sit upright from almost anywhere in the tent. I noticed that REI re-designed the foot-end poles to create even more horizontal & vertical space near the foot area, which is really nice.
Durability: I've taken this tent on a few trips and it has help up pretty well. The mesh parts feel strong, and the ripstop nylon also feels strong. I can't attest to how it holds up over long periods of time, but I have a feeling it will last.
Set-Up: The first time I set this up, I was slightly confused. There seemed to be too many sections/ poles and two of them swirled around (2014 version). However, after putting it up a second time, it was super easy. When I had to deploy it for 5 nights in a row, it was just second nature.
Doors/ Vestibule: 2 doors, 2 vestibules. It just makes life so much easier when you've got multiple people using the tent. Plus, the vestibule doors are really easy to open and secure back, which is always a plus.
What I Don't Like:
Weight: So, the above weight doesn't include the footprint. The footprint is an extra like, 5-6 oz, so you're definitely looking at an almost 5 lbs tent at that point. But, I would never use this tent by myself, so someone else could help share the weight, so it's more like 2.5 lbs per person, which isn't too bad. Plus, it is freestanding, so the weight is understandable.
Weathering the Weather: OK, I haven't used the tent so much in bad weather. But, I've noticed on particularly cold nights/ mornings, there is a considerable amount of condensation on the inside of the tent fly, and sometimes the tent itself. I actually think it does fine in the rain, but the condensation issues are annoying. It looks like the 2017 version has more venting, so maybe its a little better now.
The "Third Door": So there's an odd zipper on this tent that you can unzip to expose mesh & vent, and if you use the other set of zippers, can use to open the body of the tent. It's honestly kind of like a doggie door and I don't really understand why it exists. The 2017 model doesn't have this bizarre feature, instead opting for the top half - 1/3 of the body to consist of mesh, so its unnecessary.
The Cost: $400 (+$60 for the footprint) seems kind of steep for a non-ultralight backpacking tent, but you get REI's return policy and warranty, and a solid tent, so I guess it's fine. But, if you're a penny pincher, cheaper alternatives can be found.
This is my favorite 3 person backpacking tent. That being said, I haven't used any other 3-person backpacking tent intimately. Still, I think this is a solid tent that most people will be happy with, especially beginners. Its spacious, light enough, and easy to set up. Plus, you can easily score a deal on this tent if you're an REI member: those member coupons are gold!

Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program
Infants who undergo surgery for a congenital heart defect have a higher risk of neurodevelopmental delay than their peers without congenital heart disease. At Children's Heart Center—an alliance between Mount Sinai and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)—our Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program helps these children reach their potential to lead productive and happy lives.
We provide screening and multidisciplinary evaluation for all infants at risk. If we identify concerns in your child, we will coordinate a treatment plan with your pediatrician. In addition, we will assess community resources to develop an individualized treatment plan.
The Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program is comprised of a multidisciplinary team that includes:
- Pediatric cardiologists
- Neonatologists
- Developmental pediatricians
- Psychologists
- Pediatric social workers
- Pediatric therapists
- Pediatric nutritionists
The Program uses a compassionate approach to screen and identify neurodevelopmental disorders. We strive to identify challenges your child may face as early as possible. Therefore, we can proactively provide therapy and support to best enhance your child's development.
Conditions We Treat
Many children with congenital heart disease benefit from developmental screening through childhood. We recommend enrollment in the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program for all children treated with:
- Open heart surgery in the first year of life
- Palliative heart surgery (surgery that is done in stages)
- Heart transplant
And for all children with:
- Genetic disorders associated with developmental issues (e.g., Trisomy 21, 22Q11 deletion)
- Other risk factors, such as prematurity, prolonged hospital stay, or neurologic disorder
Tests We Offer
Our Program provides comprehensive screening to determine if your child has or is at risk for neurodevelopmental delays. Using a wide array of tests, we pay close attention to your child's performance in areas such as:
- Speech
- Movement
- Cognition
- Socio-emotional
- Growth and nutrition
These tests may be as simple as surveys that you complete to describe which developmental milestones and behaviors you've observed at home to more comprehensive testing that is administered by a child development specialist.
Our Alliance with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)
Children's Heart Center is an alliance between Mount Sinai and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). This innovative alliance brings together the expertise of two world-leading institutions for the best possible outcomes.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Samarco [SAMNE.UL] and parent companies Vale SA
The agreement, signed by prosecutors from the federal government and the states of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo, mandates improvements in governance for the Renova Foundation, created to help victims of the accident, Vale said.
In a separate statement, BHP said the agreement sets a two-year timeline to reach a settlement over a separate 155 billion reais lawsuit, which will remain suspended while the parties continue to negotiate.
Part of the terms of the settlement announced on Monday include a greater role for affected people in the governing bodies of the Renova Foundation.
The agreement represented a key milestone for beleaguered Samarco, but it still faces a hefty debt load and little clarity on when it might receive key permits to resume operations.
Vale has said it expects the company to resume operations in 2018 or early next year but has pushed back forecasts several times.
The mine still needs two permits to reopen, and the lack of a clear timeline makes it harder for the companies to renegotiate the debt load, sources have told Reuters.

If anything this last year has taught me, letting go is sometimes the best thing.
The chest of drawers with handles that have been pulled too many times to count, with little stickers on the side and some of the paintwork coming of – it's barely white anymore but it still peforms the function of a chest of drawers perfectly. Imperfectly perfect. Sometimes you need to stop yourself getting attached to an inanimate object because it isn't going to last forever and it is only a materialistic object. But that object has memories that won't be there if you get rid of it, even if there is a better alternative. Sometimes letting go is the best thing.
It's easier said than done (although I'm not talking about a chest of drawers here) but if someone is bringing you down, spreading their negative thoughts or you're just generally unhappy in your current situation then let go, trust me it works. You don't exactly have to shut that person out of your life for good but making new friends, meeting new people and not interacting with them as much socially will make you 10x happier.
What's holding you back?
Are they holding you back, or is it you – okay letting go may not be the best thing because sometimes it is you that's holding yourself back. However, if they're stopping you from being the person you want to be (and this discounts parents) then maybe letting go is the answer.
I started this blog last year because I loved expressing my thoughts and had no one to express them to, not everyone my age wanted to discuss the varying shades of navy you can buy. Fashion has been a constant throughout my life and it still is, more so in the past few years. When I was thirteen I got Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and became a little less oblivious to the fact that everyone seems to be online. Whether it's through YouTube and Alexa Chung's 'the future of fashion' series or friends posting photos of them in a new outfit they bought; the fashion world I'd loved for the first time came crashing down… I didn't want to be different. As a result of that I bought clothes that were too skimpy for my liking just to impress people I also didn't really like to receive self gratification that I didn't really care about but felt incredibly important to me at the time.
This desire to impress others has luckily petered out and I am left with a new found love of fashion, one where I wear what I what when I want. Going out to the shops? Pajamas it is then. But seriously, I have let go of the people that I felt worst around – I literally couldn't wear what I want because I felt like I was being judged. You can understand how much anxiety I felt on non uniform days, my heart pounding ten times faster than it should be because I was wearing tartan trousers opposed to black skinny jeans – it was hell. But now I have a group of friends that accept my slightly outrageous fashion choices and I've grown into what I wear. I now get compliments wearing the things I love and not in the things I thought I should love. I wear what I want with confidence and if someone or something is stopping you from being the best version of you, let go.
Letting go of my blog would probably be one of the hardest things I would have to do but has it ever crossed my mind? Of course! Even if you think about it sometimes it doesn't mean you should let something go forever. Next year with my exams I'm going to let go of my blog for a little bit – I just couldn't possibly carry on whilst revising who was really to blame for the Cold War (it's too serious a subject to even contemplate blogging) but that's okay because I'll come back to it with some bomb posts. Right now I'm just grateful I have time to still blog so I don't want to get ahead of myself.
Whether it be a friend, a boyfriend or even a job sometimes letting go is the best outcome of a situation. I hope this post has helped you in some way and let me know if you've ever let go of something/someone that you didn't want to let go of – was it for the best?

'A vital account of a struggle: resolute, intelligent and endlessly interesting.'
Siri Hustvedt
'In Nicola Redhouse's Unlike the Heart, theoretical questions of psyche and soma are not remote but urgent concerns, intimately bound to her own family's story and the terrible anxiety she experienced after the births of her children. Intelligent, lucid and knowledgeable, the book itself may be said to embody the discipline of neuropsychoanalysis: It combines the narrative of a single patient with insights from the science of the brain.'
Steven Amsterdam
'Redhouse has corralled the ordinary and extraordinary madness of motherhood, the history of psychoanalysis, the efficacy of antidepressants, the future of neuroscience, and the complexities of her uniquely introspective family to create a kind of perfect memoir – one that enlarges the reader's knowledge and leaves them with questions about their own existence.'
Lee Kofman
'In this original, rigorous, poignant yet witty, and personally urgent work, Redhouse puts Freud and his disciples onto the couch – to scrutinise the art, and possibly science, of psychoanalysis, and, even more ambitiously, to find where brain ends and mind begins. This book is a feat of literary and intellectual fireworks.'
Books+Publishing (Anne Barnetson)
'Scrupulous, tender and interesting, Unlike the Heart is a deeply felt meditation on how we live and feel.'
Readings Monthly (Elke Power)
In this extraordinary memoir, the reader is taken into the confidence of Nicola Redhouse: writer, editor, reader and, above all, someone who constantly seeks to better understand the human condition and her own unique mind. Unlike the Heart is an insightful account of mental health experiences in a family, particularly postnatal anxiety. It is also a profoundly personal reflection on navigating through competing frameworks – in particular psychoanalysis, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience – for understanding these issues. The result is a sophisticated examination of the tensions between these sparring schools of thought and their theories, and the story of a quest for self-knowledge that makes for compulsive reading.
Redhouse brings an open mind, an appetite for research and an occasionally devastating turn of phrase to her endeavour: 'I lay in my bed beset by an impermeable doom; not quite thoughts about particular events but a climate of dread in me.' She captures the mental gymnastics of early parenthood with crystalline accuracy: 'I feared that Reuben wasn't sleeping because of something that I was doing to him or not doing to him.' In the midst of this work of serious enquiry and complex theoretical engagement, her presence is vivid and relatable: 'Which of me was the real me? The one who woke with terror in the pit of my guts? Or the one who could enjoy a bowl of porridge once the terror was annihilated?'
Unlike the Heart is intense, rigorous and impossible to ignore once you begin it. Having already monopolised the attention of numerous Readings staffers, it shows every sign of becoming an influential book that will be discussed for years to come. It will resonate with readers who have experienced perinatal depression or anxiety, but it is also a must-read for anyone interested in the history and future of the study of the mind.
The Saturday Paper (Kate Holden)
'Composed, confident writing; elegantly synthesised research; an attractive portmanteau of motherhood memoir, account of mental illness, family secrets and an alert, yet vulnerable persona; candour and intimacy that many other mothers will respond to … The book gives us much, and is a gift to those interested in how we conceive and treat the distress seeping through our society like acetone…'
Ceridwen Dovey, 'The Bookshelf', ABC Radio National
'It starts out as a sort of memoir of her postnatal anxiety but you quickly realise that it's going to be a very unapologetically wonderfully intellectual investigating of brain and mind using the lens of her own experience … she's looking at the age-old split between mind and brain that still exists and tries to … bring them together in this beautiful act of creation and formation of her own life story through writing.'
The Monthly (Sophie Quick)
'Redhouse writes with eloquence on the limitations of science, and of conceiving of the brain as a purely material, in the treatment of mental illness. She raises some profound questions … Redhouse has a real gift for distilling complicated academic ideas and controversies across a dizzying range of disciplines. She has a gift, too, for describing the mysterious phenomena of the mind with both awe and lucidity …
In one sense, Unlike the Heart embodies the dynamic model of mind that Redhouse embraces. It contains material that can be empirically studied and verified, but it also comprises memories, books, theories, feelings, people and ghosts. The combination generates copious – and inevitably subjective – meaning. Unlike the Heart is … always remarkable.'
The Big Issue (Angela Elizabeth)
'…an accomplished, deeply personal memoir … Redhouse is an articulate and insightful narrator of her own trauma … The book is a unique combination of memoir and theoretical analysis that engages intelligently with philosophy, neuroscience and literature.'
The Weekend Australian (Jane McCredie)
'…skillfully weaving together the personal with her interrogation of the various scientific and therapeutic approaches …This intelligent book belongs in a growing genre that considers mental illness: accounts from authors with lived experience that go beyond pure memoir to place the relevant condition in a broader cultural or scientific context.'
Kate Forster (katebook blog)
'a wonderful combination of candour, knowledge, healing and also love. … If you like smart books that delve into the 'why' of the human condition, then this is the next one to add to the pile on your bedside table. It is one of those books you will keep and mark and highlight, because it's just so damn knowledgeable and yet readable.'

From Sarah Palins Facebook page
The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this "news" magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner's World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness - a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention - even if out of context.
- Sarah Palin
I'm so happy she is fighting back. Too many Republicans allow the media and so called "journalists" to define them and bully them. It took a woman to finally say enough !

Charlie Hunnam And Jack O'Connell To Star In Max Winkler's Boxing Drama 'Jungleland'
Years after Hollywood's meager attempt to turn him into a blockbuster leading man, Charlie Hunnam is quietly delivering the best performances of his career in The Lost City of Z and the remake of Papillon out in theaters now. He seems to be taking a Robert Pattinson-esque reshaping of his identity, and that's made it exciting to see he'll choose next. Well, now we know, and it's a film that will see him teamed up with two rising stars; Unbroken and Godless' Jack O'Connell, and director Max Winkler.
Hunnam and Reynor will star in Jungleland, which Winkler will co-write and direct. Also on board the film is co-star Jessica Barden, probably best known for her scene-stealing roles in The Lobster and Far from the Madding Crowd. The story follows two brothers, one a relucant bare-knuckle boxer, as they travel across the country for one final fight. Barden plays an unexpected companion on their journey, one that exposes the cracks in their brotherly bond. Know what this sounds like? The boxing dramedy Play It To The Bone, one of my all-time favorites and has essentially the same plot.
Winkler, the son of the Fonz himself Henry Winkler, made his directorial debut in 2010 with Ceremony, which had a great cast but was cooly received. He followed that up earlier this year with Flower, a dark comedy starring Zoey Deutch that I liked quite a lot.
With shooting already underway we should see this sometime next year. [Deadline]

Flood, sweat and tears
Will Mumbai avoid floods this monsoon? The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said over 90% of the monsoon preparation work - cleaning of nullahs - is complete. Sujit Mahamulkar and Kunal Purohit report.mumbai Updated: Jun 07, 2011 00:37 IST
Will Mumbai avoid floods this monsoon? The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said over 90% of the monsoon preparation work - cleaning of nullahs - is complete. But an audit conducted by a team of experts put together by the Hindustan Times painted a different picture.
It showed that the city is just halfway there in its struggle to get ready for the rains. The panel of experts — their areas of expertise ranged from civic infrastructure to administration and environment — visited 14 nullahs and flood-prone spots. They examined and rated the work done to ensure that the surrounding areas don't flood.
Even though major nullahs may not overflow, thanks to the BMC's desilting efforts, your neighbourhood may still flood. The panelists felt that this year will be no better than the previous ones, though the flooding might be less intense.
One of the panelists, the BMC's first ever chief engineer of the Storm Water Drains Department, Nandkumar Salvi, said: "Work on major nullahs is satisfactory. However, unless storm water drains are cleaned, flooding will occur."
Additional Municipal Commissioner Aseem Gupta admitted that the problem of localised flooding would continue to haunt the city. "We never claimed that flooding would be disappear. Localised flooding will be a problem and, hence, we have installed dewatering pumps at various locations," he said.
At several spots, the experts found the work unsatisfactory. For instance, two pairs of box drains at the Dharavi T-junction were choked with silt and garbage, though the major nullah across the road had been properly desilted.
The box drains connect the storm water drains in parts of Dharavi to the Mithi river. Their choking would result in heavy flooding, the panelists said.
"These drains haven't been touched. It looks like no official has bothered to examine them," said panelist and Congress corporator Dharmesh Vyas.
Apart from Vyas and Salvi, the expert panel comprised former deputy municipal commissioner (environment) PR Sangilkar, former IIT-ian and Mithi clean-up activist Janak Daftari, environmentalist and citizen activist Rishi Aggarwal and senior corporators Dharmesh Vyas (Congress) and Pravin Chheda (Bharatiya Janata Party).

Kristina Rihanoff couldn't stop herself gushing over her Strictly Come Dancing partner Daniel O'Donnell as they took part in the first live show.
The Russian professional ballroom dancer couldn't hide her delight about being partnered with the Irish crooner for this year's competition.
Kristina gushed: "I'm really excited to dance with Daniel. Actually over the moon."
"Watching Daniel made me realise what a great performer he is," she added as she gazed lovingly at his performance of When Irish Eyes are Smiling.
After a sedate dance, that only had one major misstep when Daniel nearly ripped Kristina's arm out, the pair received great comments from the judges.
Head judge Len Goodman said: "No messing about. Straight into the dance. Your hold could be a little bit stronger but your footwork is the best I've seen. it was right on it. Well done."
Bruno added: "Prim, proper very collected, very well-placed, very very pleasing."
Tess Daly then asked Craig Revel-Horwood if he was pleased by the dance and unsurprisingly, Danny Dyer's flirting buddy , said: "No. It was pretty uneventful actually until the point where you gave the wrong grip for the floor spin which nearly ripped Kristina's arm out of its socket sadly.
"Better luck next time darling."
Darcey Bussell pooh-pooed Craig's comments, saying: "Forget him, you danced like the perfect gentleman. Just relax your neck and look at Kristina as much as you can."
After their dance, the pair told Claudia Winkleman of their nerves.
Daniel: "I'll just be excited. I'm excited now but you can't tell."
Kristina: "You were so wonderful in rehearsals. Great person to work with."
The judges then scored them with 24 points, putting them slap bang in the middle of the table.

It's almost one year from the Alfresco Devcon in Lisbon and, while we are preparing for the upcoming event in Edinburgh, planned for January 29-31, we want to share with you best moments and takeaways from one of the most acclaimed Alfresco events, dedicated to the Alfresco community.
This series is about five articles and five authors, part of the developer team, here at Xenit. All of them shared technical demos, best practices, tips and techniques, providing Alfresco developers, customers and partners access to practical knowledge and real use cases.
In this first blog post we celebrate Thijs Lemmens, Senior ECM Engineer, that presented a PostgreSQL practical guide for Alfresco. He focused on three main topics:
- Master - Slave replication
- Continuous backup and Point-in-time recovery
- Upgrading your database without downtime
"All these topics are covered in the context of Alfresco. However, these techniques are applicable to a wide range of applications" - Thijs Lemmens.
In PostgreSQL, a master-slave setup relies on a concept called streaming replication. This concept relies on the transaction logs (WAL) that ensure ACID compliance and copies those over from master to slave, or standby. Before you setup such a replication there is an important choice to make: Synchronous vs Asynchronous replications.
Readers that are familiar with PostgreSQL will know pg_dump without a doubt. While backing up a database with pg_dump is easy to use, it has some disadvantages when dealing with bigger databases. That's where wal archiving comes in the picture.
The concept of wal archiving is very simple: the wal files are copied to another location. These copied wal files can then be used when we want to restore a backup.
This method has (at least) 3 advantages:
- You don't need to schedule a nightly backup.
- The backup is done continuously, meaning that the time window of data loss, in case of disaster, is very small.
- Upon restore, you can decide to restore up until a certain time or transaction. If you made an error, like accidentally dropping a table, you can restore just before you made the mistake.
The easiest way to perform a database upgrade is using pg_dump to make a logical backup and to restore that backup on the new version of the database. The problem with this approach is that you need some time to perform these operations, and while doing so, your database should be down, or in a read-only state. With the help of an extension pglogical, we can overcome this problem. Pglogical translates the physical statements to a version independent format, so they can be applied on another version of PostgreSQL.
Scripts, commands and lines are available in the ebook, written by Thijs, that you can download for free.

The team of researchers from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) in collaboration with research institutes in Singapore and the U.S. finds startling facts about the tsunami in the Mentawai. They just got back from the Mentawai associated with post-tsunami research mission that aims to detect tsunami wave length and wave height.
"The earthquake which occurred slowly and long enough it can cause tsunami waves with a length of 8 meters and wave height of 14 meters," said Dr. Danny Hilman, geologists LIPI in a press conference held at the Building Advisory Council President, Jakarta, Friday (19/11 / 2010). Also attending the press conference researcher Hermann Fritz and Jose Borrero of the United States.
Danny said that the tsunami waves generated by earthquakes in the Mentawai somewhat higher. Tsunami wave itself tends to lead to the south so many areas that were swept. Meanwhile, the tsunami wave height in the north itself is only 5 to 6 meters.
Jose Borrero claimed to be surprised by the discovery that the tsunami height. He does not think that earthquakes are not so perceived people around it can cause a tsunami is very high.
Slow earthquake
The quake was a slow earthquake (earthquake quake lambatatau swing), as happened several years ago and cause a tsunami in Pangandaran. In his research, he also explained that when the community was experiencing confusion with the earthquake that occurred.
"People (Mentawai) was also confused because the earthquake was much less pronounced but why happened in a long time," said Borrero continued his statement. Confusion is what causes people doubt whether to save themselves or not. Finally, the confusion that lead to casualties that BESA so quake followed by tsunami. According to him, the tsunami that killed nearly 40 percent of the Mentawai.
After the earthquake occurred a few moments, the Mentawai people actually began to stand and save themselves. "After hearing the roar of the tsunami that disclosed such as jet aircraft, new residents fled to the hills, but too late," said Danny.
Borrero said, the people of Java and Sumatra was already aware of the earthquake and possible tsunami. But perhaps, slow earthquake is still a new phenomenon for the Mentawai people, although not new in Indonesia and the real world.
In order for these events do not recur, people need to get a pen getahuan about when to save themselves. "If an earthquake occurs in the duration of 30 seconds must have his strength was reached 7 on the Richter scale (SR). If it's more than one minute would have reached 8 on the Richter scale (SR). At that time, people had to flee or be evacuated," he continued.
According to him, the community must begin to recognize and alert. However, people should not fear the quake and tsunami, but people just have to understand it and beware. Beware!

Justin Sun invites ConsenSys devs to join the Tron (TRX) "family"
Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun has fired more shots at Ethereum (ETH) and its related projects. On his Twitter, he posted an open invitation for anyone working at Ethereum and ConsenSys to "join our fast-growing and well-funded #TRON family".
Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun has fired more shots at Ethereum (ETH) and its related projects. On his Twitter, he posted an open invitation for anyone working at Ethereum and ConsenSys to "join our fast-growing and well-funded #TRON family".
Everyone in @ConsenSys and @ethereum please send your resume to email@example.com and embrace your new opportunity! You are mostly welcome to join our fast-growing and well-funded #TRON family. #TRX $TRX #ETH https://t.co/kzwFpyO31w— Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) December 22, 2018
This post could be a response to the recent news about lay-offs at ConsenSys, the Ethereum production studio led by co-founder Joe Lubin. The project abruptly made around 13 percent of its staff redundant, and it now appears that this could extend to as much as 60 percent of its employees. Another Ethereum-based project, Status.IM, also recently got rid of a quarter of its staff due to a "restructuring of priorities".
Read more: ConsenSys cuts were "ruthless and swift", according to staff
Sun has positioned Tron as a direct rival to Ethereum, as well as the EOS network. He frequently points out how much better-performing Tron dApps are than their equivalents on EOS and Ethereum blockchains, and makes an effort to build a reputation for Tron as one of the strongest and most-welcoming developer communities in crypto.
Read more: Ethereum killer?: Justin Sun encourages ETH developers to switch to TRON; Is Tron (TRX) "more decentralized" than Bitcoin or Ethereum?
This isn't the first time that Sun has urged developers from other projects to make the switch to the Tron network, and he has even suggested the creation of a fund to support those affected by the collapse of ETH and EOS that he predicts.

Many observers on Twitter agreed that Tron was the superior platform, and admired Sun's confidence as well as generosity in extending this invitation. Others were more critical of Tron, and suggested that this was more of a publicity stunt than a genuine offer.
Well done Justin give these smart people a real chance at working for an exciting Crypto powerhouse called #Tron they'll never look back!— Christian Testore (@ChristianTesto1) December 22, 2018
This is ballsy ... but I'm loving the confidence Justin ... keep up the great work from all of us here in Australia 🇦🇺— Dave (@davetravo) December 22, 2018
BRB, sending in a plagiarized resume because it's Tron after all?— Crypto Bobby (@crypto_bobby) December 22, 2018
Justin Sun doesn't read facts or create revolutionary ideas, he just tries to steal them. Read Lubin's tweet!— Ethereum Jesus ⟠ (@EthereumJesus) December 22, 2018

What are SEO Meta Tags? How to use & Why Important to your Website?
Meta tags make up a portion of HTML, which describe the content of the page to your website visitors and search engines.
Meta tags only appear in the website's code and can be checked by anyone by pressing Ctrl+U, which takes a person to source code.
Meta tags are crucial to the search engines, as it tells the search engine what content appears on the website and is the first point of contact for all search engines.
Meta tags are added into the <head> section of a web page and are the legal hidden words on your page, especially for search engines.
Each platform offers different ways of adding meta tags, with some making it simpler than it already is. WordPress, for example, has various plugins through which you can add them.
Some popular plugins are the Yoast SEO plugin and All in one SEO Pack. Both are extremely well-known and highly recommended for adding meta tags.
Meta tags are a small part of SEO, however, still extremely important, even in 2018. In order to rank higher in Google, your main goal should be user satisfaction, high-quality content and well-built meta tags, which can let users and search engine reach out to you.
Meta tags affect the way the user see your website in the search results, despite of whether they click on your website or not.
Checking Meta Tags of a website
If you wish to check the Meta tags for any site, you just need to right click anywhere on the page and select the "View Page Source" option. Tools, such as Screaming Frog and SEMrush can also be used to check the meta tags of a website/webpage.
Following are the crucial 3 Meta tags, which can help you present your website better and attract more attention to your web page. These are as follows:
- Title Tag
The Title Tag is the first HTML element, which describes your web page content to the search engine and the visitors. The title tag is supported by all browsers, like Safari, Firefox, Chrome etc. The title tag must always be added in the <head> section of the website.
An example is as follows:
<title>The title goes in here</title>
Optimal Length
The optimal length of the title should be kept under 60 characters, as Google shows 55-64 characters only.
Title tags are important for both visitors and SEO. It shows in the browser tabs as well as in the SERP. In order to write a good title tags, you can follow these habits:
- In order to separate words, use modifiers. An example is: Mobile Name | Review | 2018 | Tips | Feature | Best Phone
- You can embed long tail keywords into title tags
- You can add number to make the title effective, such as 3 Important Meta Tags to add in your Website.
- Begin your title tag with your targeted keyword to get the most benefit.
- Do not over-stuff your keywords into the title.
- Each page should have its own unique title tag
- Meta Description
A meta description is basically another HTML element, which provides the summary of your web page. Search engines tend to show the meta description of your website just under the title tag in the result page.
An example is as follows:
<meta name="description" content="An example for meta description. It can be up to 60 characters long">
While meta descriptions are not used as a ranking parameter in Google, it has a huge effect on your website traffic as the description is showed in the results page. Google increased the length of the snippets in December 2017, however, it was again shortened shortly after increasing it.
Optimum Length
While there is no fixed length for the description, the length varies upon the authenticity of the description written.
Mostly whatever is deemed useful is the appropriate length. Moreover, google does not state a maximum length for snippets, as they are generated by the system dynamically.
The average length of the description is around 160 characters, reduced from the previous 300 characters. This is for desktop, while the mobile length for the snippet is 130 characters' average.
Things to consider while writing a good meta description
- Do not focus on the number of characters of the description, as Google pulls out snippet text from your content with just a user's query.
- Don't add the same Meta descriptions
- You can add call-to-actions text in the descriptions, such as Check-out, Apply Today, Contact Us etc.
- Put in your targeted keywords in the meta descriptions
- Provide solutions to a problem in the description
- Write for the users. You must always put in relevant and specific content.
- Mention any offers or discounts that you are currently running.
- Try showing empathy while writing meta descriptions.
- Alternative Text (Alt Text)
The alternative tag is crucial for images, as search engines cannot read them like text, so the site owner must add an appropriate alt text to the images so that the search engine is able to read it.
An Example of Alt Text
<img src="http://example.com/abc.jpg" alt="The nature of the image" />
Things to consider while writing a good meta description
- All the images should contain information alt text
- Alt text needs to be precise and clear
- You must always use an appropriate and original picture
- Make up an image sitemap to help you and get better ranking
- Use about 50-55 characters for the alt text
- An optimal file size should be used, so that the quality is not compromise and the loading speed also stays fine
Adding an alt tag is easy, and you must do it to all the images on your site, if you wish for them to contribute to your site ranking.
It improves accessibility and helps people understand what is going on with the image, and what it is trying to express.

U-Report Launches in Belize
Today, the U-Report was launched at the B.T.L. Park in Belize City. It is a free SMS social monitoring tool designed to gather information to address issues that affect youth. Once the data is captured, it will be used policy and decision makers to tailor policies and programs to meet the needs of the population. The U-Report is open to everyone from thirteen years of age. We spoke with the UNICEF Belize Representative Doctor Susan Kasedde about the initiative and what it means for Belizeans.
Dr. Susan Kasedde, Representative, UNICEF Belize
"U-Report is a mobile phone base platform that was initiated globally years ago by UNICEF to create an open and safe space especially for young people to capture their perspectives and voices, transform those voices and perspectives into data that is packaged to provide compelling insight to shape policies, programs, and services. Very simply that is what it is. You own a mobile phone, you can join and share your opinions through data polls and messaging and communication that is then packaged through this powerful tool for decision making. Belize has one of the highest levels of mobile phone penetration in the world and we are benefitting from that by using this particular platform as an additional tool, an additional approach to reaching communities and getting their perspective. In addition, to using U-Report, we have programmes, for early childhood development, we work with the Ministries of Health, Education and Human Development, to go out to the communities through roving caregivers to reach families in the remote areas and provide the same information that might be accessible through u-Report. What we need to have is an approach that saturates strategies for reaching the most vulnerable populations with information to educate and empower. Mobile phone is a really critical one; to take advantage of the presence of mobile in many places that we don't reach through face to face interactions. But it is a strategy that complements services available in facilities and community outreach approaches."

I met with Kandice and Brian at a family farm in late Spring for their engagement session. I always enjoy shooting at rustic locations, and this one did not disappoint! We started at the pond a little before before sunset, and then finished up in a nearby field full of buttercups.
They were so fun to work with, laughing and joking around the entire time. I love when my couples can relax and just be themselves, and the photos always look so natural. I'm so excited for their wedding this September at the Historic Mankin Mansion.
Hope you enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Making tea with pure, distilled water
I'm going to say something here that is going to make many tea experts cringe; the best cup of tea is made with freshly produced distilled water! I've spent some time in the tea industry and I absolutely love it. If you think gourmet coffee drinkers have passion for their craft, you haven't seen anything like tea connoisseurs. True tea experts know their stuff as much as a wine expert. Let me clarify this last statement a little though; they know their stuff about tea but the vast majority know very little about water. Since a cup of tea is 99% water, a lack of knowledge about water is a serious deficit.
A few years ago I ran an educational program at the World Tea Expo to bring the tea experts up to speed. Here are a couple points…
1) Water is water. It's H2O. The only difference between the water that comes from your tap, the water in the sewers and sea water are the contaminants that are in the water. The contaminants that are in water can greatly affect the flavor, smell and healthfulness of your cup of tea. The purest water is rain water and fresh glacier melt (which is basically rainwater) and distilled water.
2) There are different types of contaminants that affect flavor and healthfulness differently.
3) Water quality can vary greatly from place to place and from moment to moment.
4) Even if the government says that your water is safe it may still have dangerous chemicals in it (even in surprisingly high amounts).
5) The minerals in water are not necessary to bring out the flavor of tea, and in fact they can interfere with the taste.
6) If you ask people what distilled water tastes like they base their knowledge on the only source of distilled water available to them, the old, stale distilled water that they get from plastic milk jugs. This is not what freshly produced distilled water tastes like because it's has been left to sit in low grade plastic for months or even years. It may also have been left in sunlight which further degrades the plastic and adds a terrible taste.
7) You will be amazed at how clear and golden your tea is when made with distilled water.
8) The tea experts at the World Tea Expo were amazed at the clarity and excellent flavor produced by our water.
Remember that people drink tea for 1) the taste and 2) the health benefits. Nothing that you can do will have more of an impact on both of these points than by using only pure, fresh distilled water to make your tea!
