I love it coryshay! Thanks for posting about it, letting us know, and linking to our blog.
That's beautiful! I love the quilting - did you do that yourself!? I also love the colors. And thanks for the new fun link - I hadn't been to that site before.
I wish I could say that I quilted it myself, but I paid my neighbor who has a long arm quilter to do it for me and she did an amazing job!
Ooh the quilt turned out so good! I have another one cut out myself, but it keeps getting put on the back burner. It is nice to see a boy version.
what a lovely quilt! impressive. hey, thanks for adding Nesting Instincts to your blogroll!

Web Services Testing Tools
SOAP and XML WSDL Testing
Essentials of Web Services Testing
Make Web Services Testing Tools - such as SOAPSonar - an integral part of your development life-cycle to ensure application robustness and interoperability without writing custom testing code.
Almost all software components expose their interface through Web Services for SOAP & XML messaging. In the era of modern, web services-based SOA, distributed software components are readily integrated and dependent. This distributed and flexible nature of software components makes web services testing challenging. SOAPSonar is the only product that provides comprehensive Web Services Testing across complex, dependent and distributed deployments. Using innovative WSDL-Mutation and WSI-Mutation technology, SOAPSonar actively and aggressively tests Web Services and provides easy to read functional, performance, interoperability and vulnerability reports.
As you and your team builds robust, secure, interoperable Web Services-enable components, the quality and repeatability of your IT assets improves dramatically lowering your cost of maintenance and future development.
Loading a Web Services Definition is easy. You can point to the WSDL file URL or drag & drop the WSDL file from your desktop. SOAPSonar immediately parses the WSDL file and generates and easy to navigate operation list. You have a rich web services testing client that can send SOAP/XML Request Messages to your target Web Services and capture SOAP/XML responses. No coding required.
You can load as many WSDLs in the web services testing tool as you wish and mix-&-match tests across different WSDL operations. All test projects can be saved to your Desktop. SOAPSonar also provides operation chaining so that you can take outputs for an operation and use them as inputs to another operation.
Functional & Regression Testing
SOAPSonar� enables you to quickly test your Web Services and setup desired regression Test cases. By dragging desired tests to the Test Case Management panel, you can setup Test Cases that can be saved and run to test for the functional quality of your Web Services.
SOAPSonar provides rich Security testing with integrated PKI and comprehensive support for Web Services Security & Identity including:
- WSS-UserName Token
- WSS-X509 Token
- WSS-Kerberos Token
- WSS-Encryption
- WSS-Signatures
- SAML Assertions
- SOAP with Attachments MIME & DIME
The results of the functional & regression tests are aggregated in PDF, XML and CSV reports.
SOAPSonar enables you to test the scalability and robustness of your Web Services. Test runs can be set for any WSDL operation by enabling Performance Mode in SOAPSonar. All previously authored regression tests can be used for performance and scalability testing. You can run test for a specified duration to ensure that your Web Services are robust. You can also run the test for a specified number of iterations to measure Web Services performance and scalability. Up to 100 concurrent virtual clients can be setup to measure scalability. SOAPSonar provides additional test agents to scale beyond 100 concurrent clients. Each SOAPSonar agent provides 100 additional virtual clients. There is no limit to the number of agents that can be managed by SOAPSonar.
All security and identity functionality is also available for testing your Web Services using SOAPSonar in Performance-Mode.
During the loading process, SOAPSonar runs a set of comprehensive WSI Basic Profile 1.1 tests and reports interoperability issues with the loaded WSDL. Parts of the WSDL that failed the WSI Basic Profile 1.1 test are highlighted with details of the failed assertions and recommended remediation. Adhering to WSI Basic Profile 1.1 ensures that your components are interoperable and that your WSDL can be consumed by any .NET or Java client.
Design time WSDL interoperability testing is not enough. SOAPSonar� extends interoperability compliance testing by auto-generating a suite of tests for your WSDL. The test suites are created for your WSDL through patent-pending WSI Profile Mutation technology. The test ensure that your Web Services behave in an interoperable manner by actively sending Mutant request to you Web Services and determining whether the Web Service responds per WSI Profile specification.
Comprehensive design-time WSDL WSI Profile testing combined with active run-time Web Service interoperability behavior testing ensures that your Web Services are indeed interoperable. SOAPSonar provides detailed reports highlighting problem areas and recommended remediation.
Vulnerability Assessment
With SOAPSonar Vulnerability assessment, Crosscheck Network has pioneered the area of active Web Services Vulnerability Assessment. Using patent-pending XSD-Mutation technology, SOAPSonar creates a comprehensive test suite of Mutant requests based on your WSDL. Using Automated Attack Functions (AAF), SOAPSonar attacks your Web Services, captures the responses, and then uses Automated Vulnerability Detection (AVD) to detect vulnerabilities in your Web Services.
SOAPSonar generates a comprehensive vulnerability report for your Web Services and highlights areas of exposure, severity levels, vulnerability diagnosis and remediation techniques. Web Services Vulnerability Assessment is a crucial pre-production and post-production setup that every .NET and Java developer and security professional must take to ensure risk mitigation within their Service Oriented Architecture.
Web Services are the foundations of modern distributed applications. The ease and flexibility of integrating disparate components has made rapid application development possible across platforms, languages, operating systems and devices. This flexibility makes it critical for developers and security professionals to thoroughly test and certify their Web Services before publishing them to consumers. Crosscheck Networks has built SOAPSonar to provide you comprehensive, code-free testing that is extremely easy to set up and run. You will be generating Functional, Performance, Interoperability and Vulnerability Report in minutes.

Traditional operational security metrics such as number of machines patched, vulnerability scan results, number of incidents, and number of staff trained are easy to collect and can be useful. However, if your objectives are to inform decisions, affect behavior, and determine control effectiveness in support of business objectives, you'll need to consider a set of more strategic resilience measures. This presentation suggests 10 such measures and a means for deriving them.

Classic Projects: Stephenson's Rocket
It wasn't the first or the most important steam locomotive, but Stephenson's Rocket has become an undisputed engineering classic.
In 1829 the Science Museum claims that it 'changed the future', but it wasn't a conventional revolution. George Stephenson's canary yellow Rocket steam locomotive is an unusual icon of engineering in that it wasn't anything particularly new. And yet how it achieved its fame will be familiar, as it was the first time that several new technologies were brought together as the blue print of what steam locomotives would be like for the next 150 years.
In 1829 it scooped the Rainhill Trials held by the London and Manchester Railway to identify a design of locomotive that would launch mass intercity travel. Despite the worst of starts in public relations terms, the locomotive was a runaway success. The railway network expanded quickly and people were able to move across the world.
As with many innovations not everyone was ready for the Rocket. Thundering along at previously unimaginable speeds (up to 35mph), early steam locomotives were a frightening prospect for their Georgian passengers. Before the opening of the first major railway line, the Liverpool & Manchester in 1830, there were fears it would be impossible to breathe while travelling at such a velocity.
Leading actress of the day, Fanny Kemble wrote: "You can't imagine how strange it seemed to be, journeying on thus without any visible cause of progress other than the magical machine, with its flying white breath and rhythmical, unvarying pace."
Project briefing
By the early 1800s the means of powering the railway had still not been decided. Some favoured haulage by fixed engines and ropes while others advocated the 'locomotive'. George Stephenson, Liverpool & Manchester's Engineer of the Line wanted locomotive power, but he met with staunch opposition. Following a report by consulting engineers Walker and Rastrick, a prize of '500 was offered for the successful construction of a locomotive engine. The winner would weigh no more than 6t and had to travel along a track for 60'miles (97km).
The competition
Stephenson immediately understood the significance of the competition trial at Rainhill and he set about designing Rocket. There were five entries, shortly reduced to three. Rocket behaved well, outperforming Novelty and Sans Pareil (which blew red hot cinders out of its chimney). Rocket won a clear victory, but the impact was more serious than merely bagging the prize money. In October 1829, Rocket set a new benchmark for reliability, establishing the viability of the steam locomotive.
There is a question mark over who designed Rocket. George Stephenson had designed several locomotives, but none as complex as Rocket. When Rocket was being built at the Forth Banks Works, George was overseeing the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. His son Robert was managing director of Robert Stephenson and Company. Although receiving advice from his father, much of the credit for Rocket is given to Robert.
What gave Rocket the edge over previous designs was its multi-tubular boiler that improved heat transfer from the firebox gases into the boiler water. This was coupled with the setting of the cylinders outside the boiler at an angle of 45' (later modified to almost horizontal). These basic design principles carried through to the last steam locomotives built in Britain during the 1960s.
Public relations disaster
The Liverpool and Manchester railway opened in October 1830 with a gala event attended by A-list celebrities including the Duke of Wellington. At one stage there were eight trains on the double-track line ' an accident waiting to happen and MP for Liverpool William Huskisson was run down and killed by Rocket. Despite the obvious and ironic PR disaster, the event was considered a great success and the engineering achievement of Stephenson propelled him further towards fame and fortune.
Facts and figures
By the early Victorian era passenger numbers had soared. In 1854 alone, 92 million journeys were made in England and Wales on a network stretching 6,000 miles. Train travel had caught the public imagination and the rapid expansion of the railways had an effect on every aspect of Victorian society. This effect was to be long lasting, as in 2002 George Stephenson made the BBC list of the top 100 greatest Britons. Today Stephenson's rail gauge (of 4 ft 8'in, or 1,435mm) is the world's standard gauge for rail tracks.
Delivery and legacy
The Rocket, more than any other locomotive from the age of the railway, arguably the technical turning point of the 19th century. This is when civilization lurched from its carbon-neutral agricultural identity to the carbon-hungry industrial world of today. One commenter said: 'The steam engine drove the economic boom that literally shook the world.' Anti-industrialists claim that with the steam engine and locomotives, Britain was transformed from a green and pleasant land to that of dark satanic mills.

"I don't speak Japanese."Runa is a character that appears in the For Honor single player campaign.
Overview Edit
Runa was a Valkyrie that helped take down Ragnar and free her fellow Warborn from Siv. Once that was complete, she took part in the Great Raid. As a scout and tracker, when it came time to cross the Myre, Runa was sent ahead to scout and find a map that could help the Vikings find a way through. She was later seen on The Raider's boat escaping with the loot they'd taken from the Samurai.
Personality Edit
Runa was brash and impetuous but good at her job. When she was sent to try to find a way through the Myre, she killed everyone she saw, rather than interrogate them, under the excuse "I don't speak Japanese". When it came time to raid a monastery for maps she went ahead by herself rather than wait for reinforcements.
She is disturbed by Helvar's practice of taking the scalps off dead enemies, comparing it to the practice of putting severed heads on pikes.
Trivia Edit
- Her line "I don't speak Japanese." is quite popular in the For Honor community.

text: SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Democratic New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver says she still wants to restore straight-ticket voting in which a slate of major-party candidates can be chosen all at one time. Toulouse Oliver on Tuesday said she hopes to allow straight-ticket voting in fall elections. The change would fulfill a campaign pledge. Also known as straight-party voting, the option was removed beginning in 2012 elections by then-Secretary of State Dianna Duran. The National Conference of State Legislatures says the number of states with straight-ticket voting dwindled to nine last year. Democratic State Senate majority leader Peter Wirth says straight-ticket voting can greatly increase participation in down-ballot races. Many Republicans regard the practice as unfair to individual candidates in New Mexico, where registered Democrats far outnumber Republicans.

TV series to be shot in the Tweed looking for 100s of extras
A US television series to be made in the Tweed is expected to inject about $3 million into the region's economy.
Australian production company Matchbox Picture is to make the comedy drama series Camp at Crams Farm, south of Uki.
The shooting is expected to begin on March 18.
Producer Brett Popplewell said it was a 14-week shoot with 10 one-hour episodes expected to be made in that time.
"It (Crams Farm) is closed during the week but will be open to the public on the weekend," Mr Popplewell said.
"The end section will be converted into a US summer camp.
"The location works well for us. It's beautiful."
Mr Popplewell said the 200-300 extras used in the series would be sourced from the Tweed and the $20 million production is expected to inject $3 million into the economy.
Tweed Shire mayor Barry Longland said that $3 million was probably a conservative estimate.
"The benefit for the Tweed here is direct, with the crew taking a six-month lease on the empty Murwillumbah Bowls Club as their base for a crew of 70, plus actors and extras," Cr Longland said.
"As they're using Murwillumbah as their base, that's a lot of motel beds, meals and fuel that will be provided by local motels, hotels, cafes, restaurants, petrol stations, fresh food businesses and supermarkets."
Cr Longland said it would also benefit local tradies.
"While it (Camp) won't put the Tweed on the map in the United States as a destination, it is another reminder of the potential of the Tweed as a wonderful film location, following on from films such as Muriel's Wedding, Mental and Lou," he said.

One of the best Café Bars in Santiago.
With locations all over Santiago, this is the perfect place for a polite breakfast or an afternoon tea on any weekday, with the short menu offering enough options of toasted sandwiches (with various sorts of bread), omelettes and coffees.
If you arrive early enough, there is always an offer on the black board combining 3 items for your breakfast at a more convenient price. This will inevitably make you spend a little more on the endless options of muffins, croissants, and other morish pastries together with any of the various hot drinks invariably delicious.
In case you are after a quiche, do not arrive before midday, only from 12.00 o´clock onwards quiches begin to be served, as well as salads and gourmet burgers. Tavelli is also a very popular destination for artisanal ice creams lovers looking for flavours ranging from the classic vanilla to the equally creamy lactose free options.

La Chiusa delle More
Peschici, Foggia
Citrus scents the air, loungers flank a spakling pool. Light, cool, simple rooms, vibrant hosts, garden and olive groves - divine food
€160 p/n
How to book
If you have any questions or want to enquire about dates, use our form to contact Francesco & Antonella Martucci or see their website for more information.
From €160 per night
The Italians flock here in August but foreigners have not yet discovered Peschici, so come out of season when the lovely beaches and fresh-fish restaurants are idyllically uncrowded and you can watch the fishermen sort their catch on the front. Francesco and Antonella's 16th-century farmhouse is 500 metres from the sea: park under an ancient olive tree and climb up to the reception terrace to drink in the views. On another terrace, teak loungers flank a sparkling pool and the air is scented with citrus. The B&B rooms, some in the main house, some in an attractive separate building, are light, cool and simply furnished, with good little shower rooms. Family rooms have ladders up to childrens' mezzanines. Your hosts, a delightful pair, vibrant and full of fun, have five hectares of olive groves and a big kitchen garden. The olive oil and vegetables supply their restaurant and the food is divine – hard not to love the typically Puglian dishes and the local wines. Breakfast on the terrace is a treat too, a wonderful start to a day among the splendours of the Gargano National Park. Fabulous for walkers.

Such a beautiful place - do not be put off by the selection of scruffy posters for restaurants as you approach Peschici. As the gates open on arrival, you are greeted by a hedge of fragrant rosemary and a quiet winding drive. Definitely stay for dinner - Antonella's cooking is wonderful - on our first night we had stuffed zucchini flowers amongst many (small) courses of mouth watering food. The staff are charming and welcoming and Francesco is a whirlwind of (quiet) energy. Highly recommended.
Another great recommendation from Sawday's, perhaps the best yet, great setting, a tranquil hideaway to rest on a long trip. We arrived to a wecoming glass of wine from Francesco, whose enthusiasm was infectious. Dinner is at 8!...he announced and it will be all fish!... Suited us and what a fabulous dinner on the terrace it was, a fitting way to celebrate a special birthday. Rooms rustic and in keeping with the surroundings, with all that you need. Fab pool. Wish we could have stayed longer but a family get together spurred us further south. Book with confidence, a real treat awaits you.
This is indeed a special place! My wife and I stayed for a week. The owners have created a lovely B&B amid an ancient, producing olive grove. The wife of the couple who own the place cooks the most wonderful dinners which are definitely worth reserving a place for. Best to have a light lunch though as they consist of four delicious courses. Rooms are simple and comfortable, shower & hot water excellent. The husband of the couple does a great front-of-house job. Highly recommended.

After tons of research, back and forth with others who grow their own vegetables, I found a vegetable garden I'm happy to recommend to you.
Here are the points that I found to be the most important:
- Size
- Build Quality
- Assembly
First let's talk about size.
You don't want to get something too small. Obviously the size might depend on the area you have to work with, but if you do have the room, opt in for a larger unit. The reason is that you'll most likely run out of space as you start to plant your own vegetables.
You will also want to get a vegetable garden bed that is deep. Certain vegetables require quite a bit of soil to grow, so you don't want to buy something that's too shallow.
A vegetable garden that's well built, and made with quality products is highly recommended. Your garden will be out in the elements, and potentially left out for a winter depending on your location, so you want something that's well built. Avoiding cheaper models from China goes without saying.
Lastly, you'll want something that's easy to put together. When I first got the idea to set-up one of these, I thought I'd be able to make it myself. Then I thought about what I would need, and how long it would take. It didn't take long for me to scratch that idea, and look for something that comes pre built, and just requires you to put the pieces together, sort of like Lego.
Enter The Gronomics Rusted Elevated Garden Bed
Here are the main reasons why I love this unit:
- No tools are needed
- Made in the United States
- Made with western red cedar
- Several sizes to choose from
What are the sizes available?
At the time of writing this review, there are 4 sizes (L, W, H, in inches):
- 18 x 18 x 19
- 18 x 34 x 19
- 48 x 18 x 19
- 48 x 24 x 34
I got the larger unit (48 x 24 x 34), which is 4 feet by 2 feet, and 34 inches deep.
Again having a deep garden bed like this is important for growing certain vegetables.
Where can you buy it?
This is actually available for sale on Amazon. This is where I purchased it, and had no trouble with the shipping.
You can also find more details about the products, as well as a full list of consumer reviews.

The weekend of May 17th and 18th, we packed some cars full of good people and headed out into the desert. Specifically to a place past the Salton Sea, a place known as Slab City. What followed in the next 24 hours, none on the trip will ever forget. What they can remember that is. Here is the video documentation courtesy of Ryan Ashburn and Brandon Munoz from our stay in Slab City.

I have started a new podcast on Energion.com, with the URL http://podcast.energion.com. This podcast includes some of the speakers who were podcasting on the Running Toward the Goal podcast from Pacesetters Bible School. Pacesetters is closing at the end of the year.
This podcast is not going to be like Running Toward the Goal, however, even though it will have some similar content. This is broader based, and will include political as well as religious content. The religious content will be less devotional and more technical, though there will still be devotional content.
Head over there, subscribe, and check it out. I think you will enjoy it!


text: This article does not acknowledge the breadth of information that debunks the "learning styles" myth. The idea that a student is intrinsically programmed to learn in one specific (audio, visual, or kinesthetic) format oversimplifies and marginalizes student learning. The author simply provides tools that propagate this "neuromyth". He offers the link to an online test that allows children to discover what their personal learning style is. However, this would be a futile effort on the student's behalf. As Reiner and Willingham (2010) write, "Many students will report preferring to study visually and others through an auditory channel. However, when these tendencies are put to the test under controlled conditions, they make no difference—learning is equivalent whether students learn in the preferred mode or not." Many researchers are trying to reinforce the idea that cognitive preferences for a certain type of information has no effect on long-term learning. Kirschner (2017) cites several studies that showed no connection between a preference for learning styles and actual learning. Kirschner and others make an attempt to unite the scientific community to dispel these myths in the face of the public. Although the author identifies some opposing arguments of learning style theory, he cites no evidence to promote this theory. In fact, he makes a claim with no supporting evidence stating, "Someone with a strong visual learning style may have difficulty with subjects taught in other formats." There needs to be further elaboration with such a claim. For example, although learning styles are not evidenced by research, there may be a connection between a student's individual ability, motivation, and personal interest underlying learning. If a student is interested in a visual aid, it's the "interest" variable that's influencing the attention he or she focuses on the material, not because that student is a stronger "visual learner". The author states that this is a "controversial subject" when the true controversy is that the media continues to perpetuate this myth. The supporting evidence for learning styles is a classic case of confirmation bias (Reiner and Willingham, 2010), in which the supporting research does not follow proper scientific conduct (random assignment, sample size, etc.) as Kerschner mentions in his article. The only saving grace of the learning styles myth may be that it encourages teachers to cater learning to a student's desire, which may in fact have stronger connections to solidifying learners' knowledge. The very contradictory nature of learning styles theory is that it remains prevalent with no empirical conclusions that support its claim. It is important that educators maintain a critical eye and seek out evidence, even when myths such as these are salient in pop culture.

"It is wholly appropriate for the president to share whatever information he thinks is necessary to advance the security of the American people".
Trump himself claimed the authority to share "facts pertaining to terrorism" and airline safety with Russian Federation, saying in a pair of tweets he has "an absolute right" as president to do so.
Finally, McMaster said Trump "wasn't even aware of where this information came from", a comment meant to reinforce that the president couldn't have revealed the source but left open the question of why Trump had been kept in the dark on that detail.
The White House denied what was first reported by The New York Times. The Washington Post reported that Mr. Trump divulged information designated at a level above top secret.
Even as Trump's national security adviser insisted the Oval Office disclosure to visiting Russian diplomats was "wholly appropriate" and routine, few people outside of the White House saw it that way. The Kremlin dismissed the reports as "complete nonsense". The U.S. also shares intelligence with countries like Germany that broadly share U.S. national security goals.
But the press secretary said he was "pleased" with Israel's assurances of confidence in its intelligence-sharing relationship with the Trump administration.
McMaster didn't explain how sharing classified information with Russian officials advanced US interests.
"It's always a hard job, but there's no question in my mind the president has made it harder for his immediate staff, which is there to support him", said Ari Fleischer, press secretary to Republican President George W. Bush.
Israel's ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, also would not comment on the intelligence - but expressed confidence in the nation's relationship with the US.
"What if portions of the USA government say, 'You know what, we'd better not share that up because we don't want to lose access to it, don't want it to be compromised, ' or friends and partners who'd normally share with us, they're concerned about having it compromised?" he said.
Meanwhile the White House, which had tried to hose down the story yesterday, has changed tactics.
Doug Andres, a spokesman for House Speaker Paul Ryan, said the speaker was looking for "a full explanation of the facts from the administration". "As President I wanted to share with Russian Federation (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining.to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russian Federation to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism", Trump wrote in a pair of tweets.More news: Schultz, Rust out for Game 3 as Pens lineup shuffle continues
Current and former USA officials said that Trump went well beyond outlining basic threat information in his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
According to United States and diplomatic officials, Israeli intelligence was a source for some of the information about ISIS bomb-making capabilities that the President discussed with Russian diplomats.
None of that explains why the White House was reaching out to the CIA and National Security Agency to let them know what the president had revealed.
The White House has grown suspicious about the volume and timing of the seemingly never-ending stream of leaks about the president, said one senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to reflect on the feeling inside the West Wing.
The official questioned why - if Comey had concerns about his conversations with the president - the Federal Bureau of Investigation director hadn't shared them with the deputy director, the Department of Justice and Congress at the time. "I don't have information I'm at liberty to share", Freeland said.
By nearly 5 p.m., Burr told reporters he still hadn't heard back from the White House. "At no time, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known".
Of course, the USA has had problematic intelligence situations with the rest of the world in the past. He's openly questioned the competency of intelligence officials and challenged their high-confidence assessment that Russian Federation meddled in last year's presidential election to help him win.
Blunt told reporters on Tuesday that he still doesn't think there's any need for an independent special prosecutor to investigate the Trump campaign's ties to the Russians.
The NSA was also at the heart of the Edward Snowden drama, which revealed that the US spied on world leaders, including close allies.
Republican lawmaker Mike Gallagher, a former U.S. Marine who served in Iraq, asked to see the transcript of Trump's conversation with the Russians. At first, the White House pinned the decision on Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who'd written a scathing memo about Comey's handling of a probe into Hillary Clinton's use of email.
Chrystia Freeland and Harjit Sajjan dined with their US counterparts for foreign affairs and defence - Rex Tillerson and James Mattis.

The Neem tree is sacred in India because of its life-protecting properties. It is a powerful cleansing herb renowned for its ability to purify both the inside and outside of the body. It is an extremely bitter herb with powerful detoxifying properties. Its green leaves are full of cleansing chlorophyll and it acts as an invaluable skin and blood cleanser. It is very effective for normalising gut bacteria and reducing any imbalances that can cause bloating, discomfort and skin outbreaks.
Myths abound concerning the healing properties of Neem; its curative nature is said to have begun when a drop of nectar (amrita) fell on to it from the cup of immortality. Its bitter principle indicates its use in inflammations of the skin and digestive tract.
Common Name
Neem (E), Nim (H), Margosa (E)
Latin Name
Azadirachta indica – Folium, Semen, Cortex, Resin (Meliaceae)
Bio-medical Action
Alterative, anti-pruritic, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, antiseptic/bacterial/fungal/protozoal/malarial, anthelmintic, bitter tonic, antacid, hypoglycaemic
0.5–5g/day or 3–15ml/day of a 1:3 @ 25% tincture.
• Neem thrives as a large tree in well-drained soil all over India at up to 1000m. It is a tender tree not surviving in temperate climates where there is excessive rainfall.
• Often confused with Melia azadirachta (this is known as Mahanimba in Ayurveda). This is a tree with very similar properties that can survive in hardier climates.
• Used in the famous panchtiktagrita, a medicated ghee incorporating five bitter herbs used for inflammation in the skin, muscles and deeper tissues.
• Also a very infective insecticide/fungicide in the garden; spray an infusion on the plant for excellent organic results.
• It is a very strong herb. As with all very bitter and concentrated flavours it should only be used short term at high doses. Use for up to a month maximum. However, if used at a low dose the it can be used for longer.
High vata, wasting and debility. Any condition with cold signs. Considered to be bad for the heart and unpleasant for the mind by the Bhavaprakasha.
Why use Herbal Remedies?
Herbal remedies have been used for centuries for their healing and therapeutic properties. Different herbs are used in different cultures as a popular alternative to modern medicine. Herbs for Life focuses on traditional Ayurvedic herbs and the benefits they offer for common health conditions.
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is the ancient Indian philosophy of health and wellbeing. It means the 'science of living wisely'. Using herbal treatments is fundamental to Ayurveda for staying at optimum health. It's also an integral part of the relationship between humans and nature.
Ayurveda is the ancient Indian philosophy of health and wellbeing. It means the 'art of living wisely.' In simple terms, Ayurveda is a holistic system which guides us so that we can live a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. It recognises that we are all unique and focuses on food, lifestyle, massage, yoga and herbal remedies to suit our individual make-up.
Ayurveda is timeless – it has existed for over 4000 years but yet it still applies to modern day life. The key to its longevity is because Ayurveda is logical. An early description given in the Charaka Samhita (the earliest Ayurvedic literature) written circa 150BCE-100CE says:
"It is called ayurveda because it tells us which substances, qualities and actions are life enhancing, and which are not."
The wisdom of Ayurveda encourages us to take responsibility for our own health according to the different stages of our lives, the seasons, and the environment we live, work and play in. These factors all have a big impact on our health and it makes sense to adapt our lifestyle accordingly so we can continue to live in harmony with our body and stay at optimum health.
Who are Pukka?
Our unique range of organic herbal remedies and award winning teas are based on the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda – 'the art of living wisely.' We set up Pukka Herbs to make the wonders of this wisdom easily accessible to everyone.
Pukka is a Hindi word meaning 'authentic', 'genuine' or more colloquially 'top quality'. It comes from the Sanskrit 'pakwa' and this sentiment of offering the best quality organic Ayurvedic herbs and service is what we at Pukka Herbs are all about.

By Nelson Belen, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Following this past Sunday's (April 2nd) pivotal final round of the 2017 Taça Rio, local football (soccer) fans finally know who will be facing who in the semi-finals of not only the Taça Rio, but the 2017 Campeonato Carioca.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the semi-finals of both tournaments will feature Rio's big four clubs: Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco, and Botafogo, all battling it out for state supremacy.
It was especially high stakes for Botafogo heading into the final round as depending on the various outcomes on Sunday, the team could have fallen out of both the Taça Rio and Campeonato Carioca semi-finals. But, thanks to a superb two-goal performance from Sassá, including a highlight-reel bicycle kick, the Lone Star club defeated Resende 3-2 and guaranteed itself a spot in both semis.
Similarly, Vasco saw itself face-to-face with Nova Iguaçu on Sunday, with the winner earning itself a spot in both semis, and the loser leaving both the Taça Rio and the Campeonato Carioca empty-handed. With everything on the line, Vasco rose to the occasion and handily defeated Nova Iguaçu 2-0 with goals from Rafael Marques and Yago Pikachu.
Finally, in what was being billed as the classic matchup that "não vale nada" (worthless), the normally heated battle between Flamengo and Fluminense was tempered by the fact that both teams had already guaranteed their spots in the Taça Rio semi-finals. With both teams deciding to rest most of its starters, Flamengo and Fluminense fought to a 1-1 draw.
A recent rule change voted on by the various clubs left fans in the dark as to who would be in the semi-finals of both the Taça Rio and the Campeonato Carioca going into the last day of action. Originally, the winner of the Taça Guanabara was guaranteed a spot in the Campeonato Carioca final, but the rule was changed to only guarantee the Guanabara champion a place in the Campeonato Carioca semi-finals.
The rule change left many fans scratching their heads as it resulted in puzzling permutations where, heading into Sunday, a team such as Botafogo, could have seen itself in the semi-finals of the Campeonato Carioca to only lose the spot if a team such as Nova Iguaçu or Volta Redonda happen to win the Taça Rio.
Thankfully, Sunday's games resolved many of these issues, and Rio's big four will now enter a four-team battle royale in two separate semi-finals. In the Taça Rio semi-finals, Group B leader Botafogo will face Group C runner-up Fluminense on Saturday, April 8th, while Group B runner-up Flamengo will face Vasco on Sunday, April 9th.
Meanwhile, in the Campeonato Carioca semi-finals, Flamengo, who finished first in the overall standings of both the Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio, will battle Botafogo, the fourth overall team, on Saturday, April 22nd. Fluminense, the champion of the 2017 Taça Guanabara, will face Vasco on Sunday, April 23rd.

My symptoms are constant bloating to the point of looking pregnant at times, sore and cramping stomach, constipation (spend ages sat on the loo) but then its very mushy. Never feel that I have emptied my bowels fully.
Would really appreciate some help.

I wanted to make sure this outfit stayed in keeping with my usual style, so I decided to go for a strictly monochrome affair, with the block white jacket drawing the eye and also ensuring I don't look like I'm attending a funeral rather than a race meet. I would never attend the races in anything other than a dress, so this little Topshop number was both necessary and the obvious choice. My favourite colour and clinging in all the right places, it gives a sexy silhouette while the interesting ruffle around the chest breaks up the shape and gives the dress a unique look. A pair of comfortable heels are a lifesaver, as a day at the races involves a lot of standing and walking around, so a chunky heel like these are the perfect choice. Finally, you can't go to the races without a hat, and in my case a ridiculously large floppy affair is the only way to go!

ANYWAY this weekend proved a particularly difficult one for me in terms of deciding what on earth to wear as I needed something appropriate for a winter walk on the beach, an evening date in Liverpool and also 'Meeting The Parents' for the first time. Erm hello, what the hell do you choose when 90% of your wardrobe consists of joggers and small tops that really shouldn't be seen out in public - nights out not included - (I'm looking at YOU Alexander Wang bustier) and the other 10% is formal wear?! Well, I did what every other self respecting young blogger does when faced with such a sartorial dilemma. I asked Momma Love. Who also came up stumped. We pondered, we mused, my wardrobe was emptied and then refilled and then emptied again before we came to the conclusion that really there was very little I could do.
So I went for the old faithfuls, the NaaNaa jacket for warmth (lol), my RUNWAY leather leggings because they're just plain awesome, Nikes and a beanie because this is me that we're talking about, and my Cheap Monday short sleeved kinda turtlenecked sweater. Boom.
I think I got it right in the end, what do you think?

Anyway, carrying on the trend of essentially wearing pjs out of the house and it being absolutely a-okay I decided to pair my current favourite joggers (my Trend Two old faithfuls in case you were wondering, which, considering this is actually a personal style blog you probably were...) and a nice baggy t-shirt complete with hilarious slogan (yes that's right, my The 1975 obsession continues. Lets face it, it won't stop anytime soon). The main focus of this outfit in my opinion though are my new Adidas Superstars. They're kinda like a newborn baby to me in that I'm far too protective of them for my own good. Considering they're outdoor shoes and I've only actually worn them outdoors for the purpose of this shoot so far (the rest of the time they've been displayed in pride of place in my shoe collection for me to fawn over from the safety of my bedroom) I feel like I should probably get a grip and just wear them. But they're just so pristine and white and I'm basically rambling again...
Basically right now I'm obsessed with loose fit, monochrome and contrasting textures. That is what I'm all about.

What is the correct ratio for inspiration vs creation?
Personally I am very concerned about originality.
It's an obsession of mine.
Knowing well that nothing these days is truly original, I struggle with each one of my pieces because I know I used a reference photo, I borrowed colors using the Adobe Color app or that I did an exercise or tutorial step by step and thus getting an almost identical result to the original work.
The road of the self-taught artist is like setting a caged animal free. We will roam all around dizzy and high of so much space, supplies and how-to's bumping into things, until we're exhausted.
This is true for me at least.
I get adrenaline rushes when I discover a new technique, I can't sleep when I'm reading about color, which is almost late at night and there's no use for me to get up and try to paint because the light won't help, or when I start browsing Pinterest and other sites and see how lovely or how ugly some art (seems to me).
I recently found a book that is giving me a breather from all this running around. Books are yet another matter and the library is the source of my endless overwhelm but, the book A Passion for Watercolor: Painting the Inner Experience by Stefan Draughton is a little gem. Though her style of painting is not what I aspire to, it has helped me break the spell of trying to make pretty watercolors.
The other book I found invaluable was The Watercolor Artist's guide to Exceptional Color by Jan Hart, I had just taken a watercolor workshop which literally reconfigured the way I look at color. When I found this book I finally understood the different types of watercolor paint and the different palettes you can create. I have yet to choose my own palette so I can stop spending ridiculous amounts of money trying different brands, but I assume the expense, it's either experimenting or going to class and since I'm a hard-core self-learner, I rather learn by experience.
But inspiration vs. creation.
I've calculated two years between my first contact with watercolor and the day I will make unique pieces.
I'm very forgiving with other artists using reference photos because they manage to create truly derivative works. I make my pieces using reference photos but I rarely thread away from what I see. I'm terrified about discovering that I might not be creative.
I would love to have a mentor, or a group of people who are self-taught artists themselves. Oh wait! Maybe I can create one? Would you be interested?
Tweet me if you would!

In the meantime, I have huge difficulties narrowing down. My recent venture into digital illustration is also taking up space in my head and caused a detour in my non-digital painting. The possibilities are endless. It makes a bit sad though because the idea behind painting in watercolors was to get away from the computer and now I'm super excited about learning illustrator and translating hand-drawn graphics into digital graphics.
I guess the more you do, the more you move forward and the less you look at other people's work in the same field as you will slowly point you into new sources of inspiration. If I want to create fashion illustrations I shouldn't be looking at other fashion illustrators because I'll end up copying. I could probably get to a museum, see performance art or things like that.
How do you, as an artist, manage inspiration vs. creation?

HALLANDALE -- In an effort to settle a lawsuit by citizens who want a cultural arts center, city commissioners are offering to sell citizens five acres on the Annenberg Tract.
In return, the five residents who are suing the city to get property for a cultural arts center would drop their lawsuit.
``This offer is an attempt to get a site for the arts center,`` said Richard Kane, city attorney. ``Settling the lawsuit is secondary.
``The city Commission believes that if some group can develop a civic center, that would be great for the city,`` Kane said. ``If the lawsuit is dismissed tomorrow, the property would still be there and the city would still be without a civic center. This offer says if there is a substantial amount of people willing and able to build a cultural center, we will make the land available.``
Plaintiffs named in the suit against the city are all members of the Cultural Center and Performing Theater Group, known as CULPACT, which wants to build an arts center on the Annenberg Tract.
In September, when the city sold nine acres of the tract to the U.S. Postal Service, the art supporters filed a petition, calling for a referendum to halt the land sale.
When commissioners refused to place the referendum on the November ballot and the sale went through, the five sued, claiming that the sale was illegal.
``We`re willing to meet them halfway,`` said Commissioner Arthur ``Sonny`` Rosenberg. ``If they pursue the lawsuit, all they can hope to do is get the land encumbered for a year. What we`re doing is giving them practically what they`re asking for.``

I can't remember when my love affair with books started because I have always loved books. I can read anywhere and anytime. I can even read while riding on the back of a motorcycle. Tolkien holds the honor of my first book obsession when I discovered The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Series. Aragorn and Legolas were my very first book boyfriends. Julie Garwood began my love of smut and Highlanders. I took a detour into YA while my kids were growing up so I could pass on my love of reading to the next generation. Now that my kids are grown I came back to my love of smut. I'm an equal opportunity smut reader. I love contemporary romances, all things biker, paranormal, and romantic suspense. New Adult isn't my favorite but if the blurb is intriguing enough, I'll dive in. I require an alpha male and a female lead that's not a pushover or stupid. I love books that make me laugh and cry, and if it's at the same time that's even better.

I thought I would tell my story to try and help those who are feeling distressed with their diagnosis.
I was born in 1974 and was lucky that my doctor was on holiday and a doctor was covering from Guys and St Thomas hospital. He was a specialist in Thyroid disorders and I was diagnosed almost straight away, it was thought that the shock of being born made my thyroid stop working. I was put on thyroxine pretty much from birth. Having to travel as an out patient to Guys on a 6 monthly appointment up until I was 16 when I had to be discharged. At that time I was told I would be on 150mg per day. ( taken altogether in the morning) well since then I have been to many doctors most of which did not ever understand the condition. When my blood tests came back low the doctor wouldn't look into it they would just increase my dose. I do have very dry skin,am tired a lot,have carpal tunnel,IBS,depression and various other issues associated with an under active thyroid. When I left London I was on 500mg which is classed as a lethal dose and I was constantly questioned by pharmacists about it.
Thankfully a miracle happened to me, I moved to Norfolk and registered with a new practice, this practice and my new Doctor was so shocked with my levels of thyroxine they straight away ordered blood tests and worked with the local clinical chemist to sort out my levels. Don't get me wrong this wasn't an easy fix and took a little time. But eventually it was established that my body doesn't convert T4 into T3. I was then put on T3 ( liothyronine) and the dose was adjusted as needed until it has stablised. That was 6 years ago that I was put on my current dose. I have lost a bit of weight, my skin is still dry but I am passed worrying about that. My brain sometimes has a few silly moments but I actually have an excellent memory and have a large number of qualifications. I do have a degree in biomedical science so do have some background and can talk about my condition. But with the Internet now you can find out a lot of information.
I wanted to show people that it can get better, it took 30 years for me but the condition wasn't and isn't very well understood and it just takes perserverence and a good team of doctors to get you to the right place.

Is therapy for you?
Do you find yourself…
- Staying quiet instead of communicating your feelings in order to avoid conflict?
- Arguing with people over the same issues?
- Wondering if your relationship is over?
- Feeling distant from others?
- Thinking "what if" all the time
- Having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
- Frequently feeling sad, lonely, or anxious?
- Having trouble moving on after experiencing trauma or loss?
- Unhappy about where you are in life?
- Feeling stuck?
- Exhausting your friends and/or loved ones with talking about your problems?
- Thinking you don't know who you are anymore?
Why Therapy?
Therapy is a great place to explore why you may be unhappy. It could be due to things that have to do with you, your relationships with others, or where you are in your life right now. Therapy provides a safe place where you can reflect on the changes you wish to manifest into your life. The therapist's job is to provide you with a clear, unbiased, objective view on how you can best accomplish these changes and help you facilitate them with new ideas and behaviors. Therapy is about exploring the underlying reasons behind the symptoms that led you to this page in the first place. Therapy is about change. Therapy is about growth. Therapy is a partnership. Both you and your therapist contribute to your healing process. You are not expected to do the work of recovery all by yourself, but your therapist can't do it for you either.
Your first session
The first appointment is usually the most difficult, especially if you have never talked to a therapist before. Starting therapy may cause you to feel nervousness, fear, self-consciousness, and/or feelings of vulnerability. This is normal because most of us do not talk to strangers about what is troubling us and additionally you may not know what to expect from me. Don't worry! These feelings are normal. My clients regularly report that I am very easy to connect with and to open up to.
During your first session we will discuss:
- Why you came to therapy
- Issues you want to work on
- Therapeutic goals
- Interventions that will help you achieve your goals
