Turning Food Scraps into Nutrient Rich Compost
What comes to your mind when you hear the word compost? Most people tend to think about trash or waste, while some people think about in terms of nutrients and sustainability. According to Dictionary.com, compost is "a mixture of various decaying organic substances, as dead leaves or manure, used for fertilizing soil". If you want to read more about what compost is, check out this article thanks to loyalgardener.com. Composting is not just a fancy way to get rid of your waste, it actually offers tons of great benefits!
Benefits of Composting
Nutrients: Compost creates rich hummus, providing nutrients to your soil.
Cost Effective: Composting is a free way of recharging your soil and adding extra nutrients.
Recycling Waste: Diverts 30% of household waste away from the landfill.
Microorganisms: Microorganisms that are found in compost, help keep away plant diseases as well as help aerate the soil.
Environmentally Friendly: Composting is an environmentally friendly alternative to store bought fertilizers.
So now that we've covered all the good that composting does, let's take a closer look at what kind of waste can be composted.
Items to Compost
Fruit and vegetable scraps
Egg shells
Grass clippings
Pine needles
Lawn weeds
Food scraps
Wood ash
Coffee ground
Shredded paper
Dryer lint
Items NOT to Compost
Fish scraps
Disease ridden plants
Pet waste
Banana peels**
Orange peels**
**May contain pesticide residue
Where Should You Keep Your Items That are Going to be Composted?
Since most of your compostable materials generate from the kitchen, it's a good idea to start keeping a container with a lid under the sink to put them in. Earth Easy suggest, to "consider using a stainless-steel compost pail with air filter, or the ceramic model. If you don't mind occasional smells, use an old ice-cream pail. Remember to chop up any large chunks before you toss them in. When the container is full, take it out to your composter and toss in the contents." Now that we've got enough compostable materials ready to start churning out some eco-friendly benefits, let's talk about how to actually start composting.
How to Compost in the Ground
1. Start your compost pile in the earth. This allows worms and other beneficial organisms to aerate the compost and be transported to your garden beds.
2. Lay twigs or straw first, a few inches deep. This aids drainage and helps aerate the pile.
3. Add compost materials in layers, alternating moist and dry. Moist ingredients are food scraps, tea bags, seaweed, etc. Dry materials are straw, leaves, sawdust pellets and wood ashes. If you have wood ashes, sprinkle in thin layers, or they will clump together and be slow to break down.
4. Add manure, green manure (clover, buckwheat, wheatgrass, grass clippings) or any nitrogen source. This activates the compost pile and speeds the process along.
5. Keep compost moist. Water occasionally, or let rain do the job.
6. Cover with anything you have - wood, plastic sheeting, carpet scraps. Covering helps retain moisture and heat, two essentials for compost. Covering also prevents the compost from being over-watered by rain. The compost should be moist, but not soaked and sodden.
7. Turn. Every few weeks give the pile a quick turn with a pitchfork or shovel. This aerates the pile. Oxygen is required for the process to work, and turning "adds" oxygen. You can skip this step if you have a ready supply of coarse material, like straw.
Once your compost pile is established, add new materials by mixing them in, rather than by adding them in layers. Mixing, or turning, the compost pile is key to aerating the composting materials and speeding the process to completion. (list provided by Earth Easy)
Other Ways to Compost- Enclosed Compost Bins
"For small-scale outdoor composting, enclosed bins are the most practical. The least expensive method is to build one yourself from a heavy-duty garbage can. Simply drill 1.5-cm aeration holes in rows at roughly 15-cm intervals around the can. Fill the can with a mixture of high-carbon and high-nitrogen materials. Stir the contents occasionally to avoid anaerobic pockets and to speed up the composting process. If the lid is secure, the bin can be laid on its side and rolled; a length of 2" cedar ( use a 2x2 or a 2x4) can be bolted to the inside, running top to bottom, to help flip the material. Without this, the contents tend to stay in place while the bin is rolled.
Another option is a compost bin, sometimes called a 'compost digester'. Compost bins are enclosed on the sides and top, and open on the bottom so they sit directly on the ground. These are common composting units for homes in residential areas where bins tend to be smaller, yet enclosed enough to discourage pests. These bins are inexpensive, but it is difficult to turn the compost, so it can take several months to produce compost. These bins are thin-walled plastic, and may chip along the edges, especially during a freeze.
The most efficient enclosed bin method is the compost tumbler. It's possible to maintain relatively high temperatures in drum/tumbler systems, both because the container acts as insulation and because the turning keeps the microbes aerated and active. Some designs provide an interior "paddle"or "aeration spikes" which aid aeration and prevent clumping of the composting materials. Other designs have holes on the ends for aeration. This greatly speeds up the composting process.
An enclosed 'tumbler' system offer the following benefits:
- speeds up the composting process
- can compost year-round, due to higher internal temperature
- cannot be accessed by rodents, raccoons, dogs or other critters
- keeps compost neatly enclosed and odor-free, well-suited for residential areas" (Information provided by Earth Easy)
Here's a list of some more tips to help you successfully compost.
Composting Tips
Adding a layer of garden soil to your compost can help accelerate the decomposition process.
Before you put any scraps into your compost pail, be sure to cut the items into small pieces.
Cutting your scraps into small pieces can help accelerate the decomposition process.
Everything decomposes at a different rate.
Everything that is compostable is either carbon or nitrogen-based.
The best compost piles have a working balance between the amount of carbon-based materials and nitrogen-based materials.
Your compost pile should contain more carbon materials than nitrogen.
When placing grass clippings into your compost pail, be sure to sprinkle them in a little at a time. If you place a large amount of grass clippings in all at once they tend to clump together and reduce the amount of aeration.
Be sure to keep your compost moist.
A great way to retain moisture in your manure is by placing a cover over your pile.
Grass clippings, weeds, and leaves make great activators for compost.
Your garden can benefit from the nutrients of composting weeds!
Next time you toss things in the garbage can, think about the good you could be doing with it. By composting you are reducing the amount of trash going to the landfill. Compost can be used as a healthy organic soil for your plants to grow in. Essentially, by composting you can "grow" your own soil. The soil used in Pop Up Produce's Fresh Start Kits is actually compost! It is a locally sourced compost from Crown Town Compost. You can purchase compost from them as well as contribute to the composting process by collecting waste you would otherwise send to the landfill. If you live in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, Crown Town Compost allows you to purchase a bucket, at a monthly fee, for you to place your scraps in and once a week they bike around Charlotte and collect the compost. You have many options when it comes to beginning and completing your composting journey, but there are also many resources out there to help you through the whole process.

Quick beauty fixes can help you look polished and pretty in no time. Read on as health and beauty experts share their tips for fast ways you can maximize your beauty!
"An easy, quick and inexpensive dry shampoo is waiting in your pantry," says Hollywood hair stylist John McCormick of Red Carpet Stylist. "Grab a teaspoon or two of cornstarch. Use your fingertips, take small sections and lightly dab on your scalp."
After a quick cornstarch massage, "The oily roots are cleansed and ready for styling," McCormick says.
Another tip if you don't have time to shampoo: "A dryer sheet can freshen up hair when it's full of smoke or when there's no time to wash it," say Bruce Lubin and Jeannie Bossolina Lubin, authors of the "Who Knew?" series of books. "An added bonus -- running a dryer sheet over hair also cures frizziness."
You can also tame your mane with a lip soother.
"If you have flyaway hair with some strands sticking in the air and you are out, a quick fix in a pinch is Chapstick," explains Donna Spangler, a Hollywood beauty, fitness and lifestyle expert. "Take it in your fingers and mush some then pat down the unruly hairs."
If you need to get rid of a bad dye job, hop in the shower. "Wash it three to four times using an anti-dandruff shampoo that contains zinc pyrithione," suggest the Lubins.
Keep colored hair shiny and healthy with a pantry staple.
"Add avocado into your hair care products to enhance your conditioning," say Scott and Jennifer Fontana, owners of Cristophe Salon in Newport Beach, Calif.
*Skin & Nails
What do common kitchen items like lemon juice and sugar have in common? They can help transform your skin and nails from drab to fab.
"Rub a wedge of lemon on your fingernails to whiten their enamel," say the Lubins.
Use the rest of the citrus to sooth and smooth dry skin on your elbows and knees.
"Just squeeze lemon juice over any rough patches and allow the juice to stay on your skin for up to 10 minutes before rinsing with cool water," says lifestyle blogger Christina-Lauren Pollack, who explains the fruit's natural acids "encourage exfoliation."
*Lips and Teeth
Sugar can help your lips stay supple. "Mix it with Vaseline on a tooth brush to exfoliate dead skin on lips," says Joanna Schlip, celebrity makeup artist for Physicians Formula.
She also recommends raiding your spice cabinet.
"To enhance your pucker, add a bit of cinnamon to your lip balm," Schlip says, noting cinnamon will increase blood flow and irritate the lips to temporarily plump your pout.
Forget long-wear lipsticks. Jell-O could give you the same colorful kisser. Dip a cotton swab into water, then into the gelatin and then on your lips, advises Schlip who calls it a "great non-drying alternative that will leave behind a stain all day."
For oily skin, the Lubins recommend cutting a raw potato in half and rubbing the flat end all over your face. Rinse after 20 minutes.
Blotting paper can help you get rid of greasy skin, but if you run out, head to the bathroom.
"Toilet seat covers," are "a sweaty gal's secret weapon," says Schlip who advises using a fresh piece of a toilet seat cover to blots skin to "a perfect matte finish."
You can also control facial sweating by applying clear, unscented deodorant to your face before applying makeup.
"Just as the ingredients in antiperspirant keep your underarms dry, they have the same effect when applied in thin layers to the parts of the face that have the most sweat glands -- upper lip and hairline," says Schlip.
For acne-prone skin, Dr. Joshua Zeichner, director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research Department of Dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, suggests using a green tinted makeup, followed by your regular makeup because, "the green color counteracts red," he says.
The next time you plucking your eyebrows, use Oragel.
"Canker sore gel numbs the brows, making it the ideal pre-plucking secret weapon," says Schlip, who explains the medicine, "temporarily numbs the skin around the eyebrows allowing you to pluck with less pain." Just don't let the medicine get near your eyes.
Don't forget to pamper your feet.
Use "lip balm on the backs of heels and the Achilles area for blister-free high heel wearing," says Sandria Marie of Brazen Cosmetics. "The wax prevents friction and creates a barrier that keeps blisters at bay."
If your heels are cracked, try Krazy Glue. According to Dr. Zeichner, "Not only will it help improve pain, but also prevent infection and allow the fissure to heal from the inside out. Just be careful not to glue your fingers to your feet in the process."

The jamming session at the National Theatre was great. We heard Coldplay done African style and Ugandan country and western. Kathy was also accosted by a self proclaimed Kenyan artist. His attempts to win her over included asking to buy her a beer no less than ten times, claiming that the same plastic surgeon who had operated on Dolly Parton's boobs had also reconstructed part of his face and assuring her that the angry lady on the phone was his sister and not his wife...all to no avail, poor guy.
The next day we experienced extreme agoraphobia at the market. As people shouted 'muzungu' at us and tried to poke our asses we tried to make a hasty retreat. Easier said than done. Once you are in the market you sure as hell aren't getting out anytime soon. Each turning point just led us further and further into the labyrinth. After getting more and more confused we saw a chink of light and shuffled towards it like flies flock towards the holy grail of strip lighting. It has just been raining and our shoes became covered in mud from the dirt roads around the market. Yet somehow none of the Ugandan people got muddy shoes, I just don't know how its possible for their shoes to stay spotless when ours became so disgusting. A particularly well turned out man stopped Kathy on the street and said 'Please, you are dirty'. Kathy replied 'I know, we have just been to the market' and the poor guy looked totally bewildered as he tried to fathom how one trip to the market could result in feet as dirty as that.

If you haven't noticed by now...I have LOTS of thoughts going on in my head, it's crazy in here. It's all very random and if you are a friend on my facebook you will see that there is a constant musical soundtrack going on in there...It's really funny when everyone "sings" along with your status - LOVE IT!
But recently I have a lot of thoughts about my photography. I want to make that leap but financially we are not in a position where I can just jump in with both feet. I finally got the camera and lenses that I needed, now I just need to get the studio created...but of course, that takes money and time. Both of which I currently am NOT in excess of.
It's kinda funny because when I think about it...it really isn't going to take that much money. But it's money nonetheless. So I have decided to just make a list of the things I need and slowly start checking them off. I am putting that list here, because it helps me be accountable.
So here we go. Things I need to create the indoor studio:
- curtains to block of the room to the upstairs
- floatable hardwood floor
- background stand
- seamless paper rolls - white, black, and gray
- light kit
- futon type mattress
- white linens
- fuzzy blankets
- funky colorful chairs..just one or two
- curtains for the windows (white sheer type)
OK, so that is what I need to get started...and then of course some fun props, but those can wait. The 1st half of the list are the essentials to get started, the 2nd 1/2 of the list are the things that needed to be added VERY soon.
As I think thru these things I have to stop and wonder, ok so what type of photography am I going to do in the studio. I don't want to do families up there because I think families in a studio are too stuffy and doesn't capture the essence of the family. I visualize some kids photography and perhaps some boudoir sessions. I have so many ideas floating around in my head and really want to get them out and materialized into some pictures.
I have also been thinking alot about my photography in general. I think I have spent so much time blog stalking other photographers and trying to recreate their techniques that I have lost the style that I want to have. I have gone into the last couple of sessions and have been so preoccupied with trying to get the images that I have seen on other blogs that it has become too stressful. I think I need to take a few steps back and re-evaluate what I want my images to accomplish. How I want to portray my photography style.
I have a family shoot coming up this week and I am absolutely terrified because I feel as though I have no idea what to do, how to communicate with them, how to make them feel comfortable. I need to step back and just trust in myself and know that I can do it.
See...told you it was crazy inside this head of mine.

Car – Bus Seat Slide Pad
- Description
- Technical
- Cleaning
- Important Information
The Car – Bus Seat Slide Pad is designed to help people who cannot turn and move into a bus seat near the window. It can also be used to help people getting into the back seat of a car.
In Bus
Place the two Pads on the seat. The two blue surfaces are against each other and the thin joining webbing is at the back of the seat. The Top Pad is over-hanging the side edge of the seat and has part of the Pad resting against the back of the seat, so when the passenger sits down, the webbing handles will be either side of their hips. The passenger then sits down, facing the central aisle of the bus. They can hold the back of the seat in front of them, so they turn around to face the front and then slide across to be next to the window. The passenger is now correctly positioned next to the window. Remember to always remove the Pads during the journey. The Pads can be put back in place when getting out of the bus at the destination. If necessary the Top Pad can now be wiped clean to use with another person. To get out of the seat, reverse the above procedure by the passenger standing up a little so a Carer can position the Pads on the seat again.
If the passenger needs assistance
The Carer can assist to turn the passenger to face the front. The Carer supports their own body against the back of the seat. They can hold the webbing handles on the Top Pad, either side of the passenger's hips. It is very important that the passenger holds the back of the seat in front of them and partially stands a little to take some of their weight off the seat. The Carer can now slide the passenger's hips across to the seat next to the window. If necessary a second Carer can also help, but if the passenger can co-operate the weight is greatly reduced when the Carer moves their hips.
In Back Seat of Car
Place the Pads on the seat. The front of the Top Pad should be over the side edge of the seat. The Pad should be resting against the back of the seat. The passenger sits on the Top Pad so the webbing handles are on both sides of their hips. The Carer helps to slide the passenger back into the seat and assist them to put their feet into the car so they face the front. The passenger should hold the seat in front of them so they can stand a little, while the Carer removes the Top and Bottom Pads for the journey. Never leave the pads under the person when the car is moving, remember to fasten the car seat belt. When getting out of the car, the passenger should slightly stand again. Then the Carer can place the Top and Bottom Pads back on the seat under them. The Carer can assist the passenger to get their legs out of the car. They can then use the webbing handles on both sides to slide the passenger to the side of the seat. By using the webbing handles the Carer can assist the passenger to stand up. This is easier if the passenger leans forward and supports themselves on the car. For front seat passengers we recommend a similar product to the Car – Bus Seat Slide Pad, the Car Seat Slide Pads, used to assist passengers into the front seat of a car.
Item # 504B
Size: Top Sheet Size: 82cm x 50cm / 32" x 19.5"
Wash up to 80°C (176°F). Air or tumble dry on a cool setting, ensuring the drum is cool. Ensure the product is dry before using or storing
General Manual Handling Warning: Manual Handling products are designed to assist carers to help patients. They will not make the carer stronger or fitter, but with correct training and use of the products, should make manual handling easier and safer for both staff and patients. When training, practise with an able-bodied colleague. If any procedure is not comfortable or is difficult and puts the carer or patient in a dangerous position, the participants should call out to stop the manoeuvre, recover and recommence. Never jeopardise your health by straining, twisting or being incorrectly positioned when manual handling. Always select the most appropriate equipment for the patient's current condition and if in doubt, use mechanical equipment. Ask your Manual Handling adviser for individual guidance.

A Large Group of Ancient Tombs Discovered in Yanqing County, BeijingArchaeologists from Beijing Historical Relics Institute and Yanqing Cultural Relics Office have from July 5 to now discovered 72 tombs in the underground cultural relics area at Nan Caiyuan, Yanqing county. They range from the period of the Warring States, the Han and Tang all the way down to the Liao and Jin dynasties.
Among the 72 tombs, 25 are built of bricks and 47 the earthen pits. The brick tombs are mainly those of the Han and Tang dynasties while the earthen pits are of the Han period. Discovered this time from these tombs are three pieces of tricolor glazed ceramics of the Tang Dynasty, pottery wares, bronze mirrors, ironware, and some other 100 pieces of relics of importance. The area has now turned out to be the largest burying area of ancient tombs recently discovered in Beijing, and it has also provided very important archaeological materials for studying the history of the Yanqing County.
In the excavation what merits our attention is the following four points:
First, no matter whether it is Han Tomb or Tang Tomb, the large number of unearthed relics and the burial forms are quite different to that of the central China, nor the same as those found in other counties in Beijing area. This shows that Yanqing, a county lying in between the Central and the north China, has always been the hotspot for the collision and blending of the Central China culture and the north grassland culture.
Secondly, the Nan Caiyuan burial area of cultural relics and its nearby areas are the largest ancient tomb areas recently discovered in Beijing. The excavation of the tomb group shows that a large city had ever been in existence in Yanqing area during the Han and Tang dynasties.
Thirdly, there are few tombs discovered of the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern dynasties in Beijing area. The tombs of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties do not have clear period division. So people usually take tombs in the period of Wei and Jin for those in the late period of Eastern Han. Among the Han tombs excavated this time, part of them plausibly belong to the late period of the Eastern Han and bear the distinctive cultural feature of northern grassland. It has therefore provided us with materials for confirming the cultural features of the Wei and Jin period in Beijing area.
Fourthly, three tricolor censers are unearthed this time from the Tang tombs. They are not only very rare in Beijing area, but also in China so far as their shaping is concerned. The discovery of the tricolor censers has very important value for researches. However, the tripod censers are found their legs missing, but no damaged parts are discovered elsewhere in the tombs. It is supposed to have been purportedly cut off before they were buried.

Children may also qualify for Social Security disability relief
Terry Katz & Associates | May 16, 2014 | Last modified on October 17th, 2018 | Social Security Disability
The duties required of good parenting can be challenging under any circumstance. In the case of a child with a developmental or learning disability, a parent might quickly feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately, there are available programs to help parents with children that might require specialized instruction or services. In the context of public school education, the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act of 1975 mandates that schools must provide an education to disabled students that are comparable in quality to their non-disabled peers.
Yet a parent's concerns may extend beyond the classroom. In the case of specialized therapies or treatments, a parent may feel that such services would be greatly beneficial, even if costly. For low-income households, however, such services might remain wishful thinking without assistance from the Supplemental Security Income program.
The Social Security Administration's website contains information specifically answering questions about benefits for children with disabilities. As an attorney who focuses on disability benefits might caution, however, the rules for eligibility can be very complex.
Like Social Security disability insurance, SSI benefits use the same standard of disability. However, SSI recipients do not need a work history. Instead, they must qualify under certain low-income requirements. An applicant for SSI benefits must provide evidence of eligibility in both regards: disability and income. Even then, around two-thirds of initial applications might be denied. With those odds, it makes sense to have a disability attorney help you prepare the strongest application possible. An attorney can also provide continued advocacy throughout any appeals of denied applications.

CW will be away for the next 2 meetings so JCoombs will stand in.
It has continued to be busy at Moa. The waitlist has continued to grow; perfect example we have had a nursery child leave due to change of circumstances. We have given all 5 days away to current families that are on the centre waitlist. Which is great.
Deb has settled in well to the nursery room. With Sharon away, Lucy and Margie have been covering her leave. This is working well and children and families have seem to be settled and happy, which is fantastic.
The team went out on Saturday for dinner and to Scared Scriptless to celebrate our ERO report and to say thanks to them for all their hard work. It was a great night and enjoyed by all.
We have our Matariki evening next Wednesday night. All the children are very excited about this.
Shay and Terehia and group of children are off to a marae visit next week. The children have been learning their mihi's and becoming very good at them.
Redcliffs School had their school disco and few families asked if we were having one this year. So we thought we could make a date for this tonight and talk about the possibilities of having it on a Friday at 5pm. We don't have to. But a lot of our families have sport Saturday and head away skiing. So we could try it.
Storage/ Shed: With us getting so many wonderful resources lately, our shed and store room are very full and are becoming a health and safety issue. We need some storage built in these areas. So tough we could apply for the BNZ closed for good first and se how we get along. HS to put a note on the whiteboard looking for a "builder" parent to help with storage. Need ideas for storage in the shed.

Income is just ahead of budget by $4,000. We have set ourselves a tight budget for this financial year.
We are sightly overspent mostly because of relievers but the profit so far is $14,000 against a budget of $11,000 which is great. We aren't spending much on advertising. June is most likely going to be a higher cost as there are extra costs which we are expecting.
We are performing nicely and we are slightly better off than we budgeted.
This can be removed from the next agenda meeting.
Bunnings are providing everything we need to make planter boxes including soil and seeds. They are also sending someone along to make the boxes up this week.
Strengthening Communities
We haven't heard from the Council yet about this. As soon as we find out I'll let you know.
Hayley is to look at what else the centre want to aim to get with a grant. Storage, cameras for teachers, iPods and docks etc,
Council came out regarding leaking skylight. Roofing people have been out and have ordered flashing which they will fit once it arrives to them.
Colin has been helping with small things that are broken.
FUNDRAISING (JudeC)
HS to take this over. We are looking at a Friday evening from 4.30.
Would we like to do another quiz? If so, would we like pick a date and time etc? Maybe sometime early to mid August. JC to talk too Sally.
Bake Sale - Mt Pleasant market
Beeswax wraps
Get more information.
Reuseable bags
Sell these to families for $5.

Graffitti (CW)
HS called the CCC but we haven't heard about this being cleared. ZF will Snap, Send, Solve this.
Pest Control (CW)
Do we have a pest control policy? We know that there are pests around the compost. How can we stop these from coming into the buildings? HS to get a pest controller in.
Kidsfirst (AW)
We need to keep an eye on this. They will be taking on from 2 year olds but they are also going through the school holidays. They will only be open until 2.30pm. They are also doing 30 hours.
Incorporated Society (ZF)
Kathryn McCurrie is to be removed from the listing as her son, Arlo has left the centre.
Bonus Bonds (ZF)
We realised that the current authorised names for our Bonus Bonds are people who left Moa Kids a very long time ago. ZF has managed to get confirmation from a lady (Maria) at Bonus Bonds of what we need to do to change these names. Unfortunately, as we don't have access to the current names we are going to have to do lots of checks etc to get us listed. The ultimate aim is to remove the money from the bonus bonds and close the account. We need to have a resolution to ensure that this happens:
Resolution to allow Zoe Fidler (as Secretary) and Hayley Strachan (as Centre Manager) to become the authorised signatories on the Bonus Bonds account. Zoe and Hayley will need to register with ANZ Bank to be added to the account.
Moved: Carly Waddleton
Seconded: Jude Coombs
Photos (ZF)
We have some new committee members who we need photos of. Zoe has offered to take these photos for the board. Nicole and Geneva are missing. Also, does anyone need a new photo to be taken?
Monday 16th July 2018 at 7.30pm

In & Out
- Metallic nail polishes. So far this month I've been loving metallic nail varnishes, my favourite is MAC's soiree from the Cham pale collection, it's a beautiful rose gold, I'm also dying to get my hands on GOSH's Holographic.
- Tom Ford Black Orchid. I am a huge fan of really strong heavy perfumes, and this Tom Ford one is just perfect for me. The scent is very earthy and warm with hints of heavy florals. The notes include Black truffle, Jasmine, incense and sandalwood.
- Healthy life style. Since the first of January 2011 i have chosen to adopt a new healthy lifestyle, and i definitely plan to keep this up. This mainly consists of trying to eat fresh foods, lot's of fruit, and only drinking water and cordial.
- Travelling Plans. Hopefully this year I will be going to Thailand for a month with my best friend, which i am sooo excited about. It's sort of as a 'well done for getting through the internship year'/my 21st.
- Being career Focused - Recently I've been so focused on career plans, which at the moment mainly is doing my absolute best at my internship. It's definitely not easy, I'm doing 12 hour days, travelling just over an hour each way...but i know it will be worth it in the end.
- Snow. I'm so sick of this bad weather, I know it's winter and I can just about deal with the rain and the freezing cold, but snow and public transport just make my life hell!
- No Camera. Once again I have broken my camera, i can't even remember if I've ever had one i haven't broke. I have no idea how I've done it but it has been sent off to be fixed. Apologies for the lack of product reviews, I have plenty typed up just needs to add the pictures.
- Public transport. Trains are becoming the bane of my life, very rarely are they ever on time and they are absolutely freezing. Bring on this summer when i can drive!

Alan Pickering has a dream. That dream is to lead his victorious colt into
the winner's enclosure at York racecourse over the grass that as a lad he
cut on his hands and knees to earn pennies.
Although his horse's name is Alan's Dream, and he describes his role as
chairman of the National Association of Pension Funds as a dream come true,
Pickering is not what anybody would classically describe as a dreamer.
In many ways, he is a typical Yorkshireman with a good line in straight talk.
Pickering is outspoken about the subject which he claims is not only his
job but his hobby. On the biggest challenge facing him in his first year as
chairman of the NAPF, he says: "We have to ram home the message to the
Government that occupational pension schemes cover the whole spectrum of
individuals, including blue-collar workers.
"We take every opportunity when meeting ministers and speaking to other representatives of the chattering classes to make sure they see that occupational pensions are doing a good job."
But commentators tempted to label Pickering as a class warrior do so at
their peril. Despite a working-class background as the only son of a York
railwayman, there are no chips to be found on his shoulders. "I am a
product of my history but that history showed me that occupational pensions
benefit the rich and the not so rich."
Pickering was born in 1948 and from a young age fancied he would follow in
his father's footsteps and work on the railways. Like many boys, Pickering
imagined himself as an engine driver but instead he was assigned a desk job
when his partial sightedness deteriorated into blindness.
This work brought him into contact with trade unions, which ultimately led
to him spending 20 years at the electricity and plumbing trade unions
between 1972-92. It was during this part of his career that he gravitated
towards personal finance through his responsibility for providing advice
and packaging affinity benefits, including pensions, for union members.
In 1992, Pickering decided it was time for a change, halfway through his
working life, which prompted him to write two identical letters seeking
jobs from the senior partners at consultants Bacon & Woodrow and Watson
(now Watson Wyatt).
It was Watson which took him on in July 1992. Pickering is now a partner
at the firm – an achievement which he describes as one of the proudest
moments in his career, along with becoming NAPF chairman.
He has come a long way from his original expectations as a partially
sighted child. He says: "I went to a special school. If I was lucky, I
would end up making baskets and if I was unlucky I would end up being
B ut when he reached 11, he went to a boarding school in Coventry where
his intelligence and determination were given more of a chance. "It made me
very independent and helped me see people as individuals as I was mixing
with people with lower IQs as well as those with IQs over 150."
When he came to work on the railways, he was still told he would never
progress beyond a junior role but he was not discouraged. "My activity with
the trade unions rekindled my interest in education, having been put off by
the sausage machine that school was. I wanted to demonstrate that I wasn't
a second-class citizen."
Pickering read politics and social administration at Newcastle University
as a mature student between 1969 and 1972.
His involvement with the NAPF started as secretary of the West London
group council in 1981. He was elected to the NAPF council in 1986.
This week's NAPF conference in Glasgow marks his second and final year as
chairman. Of the challenges facing him in the next year, he says: "There is
a real danger that some employers who are finding running pension schemes
too complex will respond to Government interference and offer stakeholder
instead. But, with stakeholder, the employer is under no obligation to
offer contributions.
"The real challenge is on the investment side in terms of the debate on
pension schemes as institutional investments and the debate on soc- ially
responsible investment. The NAPF's role is to make sure trustees get a fair
and unbiased view on all the asset classes in the face of more specialist
managers and an increase in marketing hype."
Pickering claims to be a team worker who enjoys his contact with other people.
He says: "I meet people across an extremely wide spectrum through my
working life. I also enjoy explaining complex pension issues to those who
have skills in other areas. It is the Government and the regulator who make
the issues complex."

This Spring, Joyce makes her debut with Apollo Opera, singing the role of Vespetta in Telemann's Pimpinone.
Pimpinone is presented as part of double-bill with Offenbach's Mariage aux Lanternes. Both works will be performed in English.
Founded in 2009, Apollo Opera stages new and less frequently performed operas for fans of opera and neophytes alike. By increasing exposure of new singers, musicians, and composers, alongside more established and traditional operas, we hope to show audiences the diversity and the wide scope of the opera form.

Memorial Drive To Give To the Jim and Beverly Carrigan Scholarship FundHonoring "His Honor," the late Jim R. Carrigan
The news of Colorado Justice Jim Carrigan's passing in August of this year made the entire NITA community reflect on our beginnings, our NITA family, our growth, and our maturation. Jim deserves credit for nurturing NITA through its early history, helping to shape its ethic and core values, and shepherding it into maturity as a nationally revered organization. His personality and commitment bonded NITA, committing trial lawyers to the mission of improving advocacy among our own. To name a few of his many gifts to NITA, Jim established a solid vision using his wit and wisdom, helped pioneer the NITA teaching method, and even invited NITA to use his home as the first "office," making his wife Beverly and their children the "First Family."
NITA and the Foundation invite you to honor Jim by encouraging new donations to the Jim and Beverly Carrigan Scholarship Fund. Jim and Bev created the Fund together, and were regular contributors. Your gift will be used by NITA to continue the Carrigans' goal of funding scholarships for worthy applicants who meet economic means qualifications defined per the Denver, Boulder or equivalent areas, and who otherwise would be unable to attend NITA programs, with preference to public service attorneys.
Jim's presence is still keenly felt at NITA. Help NITA and his beloved wife Beverly keep Jim's memory alive by contributing to their fund.
Please click here to make your gift by selecting Jim and Bev Carrigan Scholarship Fund and indicate your gift is in memory of Jim Carrigan in the comment section.
Thank you for your continuing support to NITA, the NITA Foundation, and our mission.

Ancient brains in a high-tech world - the impact of information overload.
There is a tsunami of information about the impact of technology on Generation Z (the iGen), now labelled 'neo-digital natives' and primarily using video to communicate.
Humans have always lived in a complex world, but the Information Age has taken distraction to a whole new level. Smartphones are ubiquitous, leading many of us to 'media multitask' by using multiple devices at the same time.
'The Distracted Mind' is worth a read, as it examines the way our brains have evolved and the consequences of high-tech lifestyles. It explains why our brains aren't built for multitasking, and suggests better ways to live in a high-tech world WITHOUT giving up our modern technology.

Adidas Originals Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Black/White"
With Kanye out the game for a little while, adidas continue to push on with an all new "Black/White" Yeezy Boost 350 V2 colourway. Within weeks of releasing their colourful set of variations using this same silhouette, the brand have seemed to turn back to basics. Arriving in a primeknit upper (as always), the release features an off-white paintbrush swipe across the side. Of course all models have this feature, but this is the first and only variation so far that harness these colours together. It also features their trademark Boost sole like the others do and features lightweight technology. The pair may have a clearer shade of white on the final product, but we're yet to see an official lookbook.
It appears to be a standalone release and will not be arriving with any friends as far as we know. adidas Originals have yet to confirm the details, images and date, but here is a first look that we're pretty sure it will arrive December 17th. Preview the pair above now or experience more of the latest by scrolling below. Check back soon for more details and hopefully some confirmation, let us know your thoughts on the shoe either below or via social media.

"Amanda has helped me follow a Plant Based Diet and after just six weeks of working with her I have lost 22 pounds and lowered my total cholesterol by 29 points. I am now feeling more energy and this whole process has been easy." -Linda Renfro, Fort Myers FL
"After going through Amanda's 90 Day Program I now have a new mind set which has given me a new outlook and helped me build the foundation to create healthy habits" –Emily Johnson
"After 40 it can be hard to avoid weight gain let alone LOSE weight. I had been slowly gaining weight over the last couple of years so when I started working with Amanda I had the goal of getting rid of those last stubborn pounds that have seemed to creep up on me as I've gotten older. This has been the first time I've seen the number on the scale decrease in almost 10 years! I have also achieved results in my running that I have struggled to reach in the past without an injury creeping up. The best part is that the whole process has been easy and fun!" Kerry Deep
I was first introduced to the idea of a plant based diet by Amanda when I met her several months ago. Her passion and personal results intrigued me so much. It took me a few months to fully wrap my head around the concept and how I would need to shift things to accomplish a transition like this.
My husband and I are 2 weeks into our transitioned lifestyle and plant based diet. Although the first few days during my body's natural detox I felt very tired, I now have a renewed energy that I haven't felt consistently for years! I have battled with insomnia for several years. Since beginning a plant based diet, I have slept better and more consistently than I ever have!
I was nervous about giving up cheese, I totally loved it. However, my husband and I both agree, we haven't missed anything. We've focused on trying to make totally plant based versions of the things we love and finding new and delicious recipes to try. Not only do I feel better physically, this lifestyle has made me look at the world with a renewed excitement knowing that simple changes can make a huge difference!
Amanda is a passionate advocate, an amazing leader and a champion for personal success in all areas of health and nutrition! I am so fortunate to have her in my corner! Kathy Zdrill

text: A New York State Administrative Law Judge has held that Costco was not entitled to an exemption from sales tax for the purchase of utilities used to power the pan, pot, and kettle washers that it employed to clean production equipment that was used in producing baked goods sold in its stores. Matter of Costco Wholesale Corporation, DTA No. 825882 (N.Y.S. Div. of Tax App., Aug. 27, 2015). The ALJ rejected Costco's argument that the utilities consumed by the pan washers, which were needed to comply with federal Food and Drug Administration sanitary requirements, qualified for the exemption from sales tax because they were used to create conditions necessary to complete the production process. The ALJ found that, under the statute and regulations, in order to qualify as exempt, the utilities must be used during the production phase of the process, and the utilities in question did not qualify because they "were used to clean and sanitize equipment before it ever came into contact with raw materials in the production process."

Testimonials about Wilma's work.
The nature of counselling work means all of those who work with Wilma do so on a confidential basis. The following people have happily supplied anonymous testimonials following their therapy with Wilma.
"It's more than a year since I finished my meetings with Wilma and I feel a completely different person than I was when I first decided to visit her.
"I was confused and overwhelmed about my life, work, family and my self confidence around people even though I worked with the public in my own business.
"After letting everything out, we worked through it and basically got me fixed. I was a little scared of managing without my meetings but, very soon, I was going forward through life a different happy person. My hidden problem was fatal car crash which I came across and didn't know how to cope with or talk about."

Essay Section: Supporting Evidence (Examples)
There are some people in the world who love to give presentations; these people tend to be very articulate. They pronounce every word, every syllable; and they enunciate difficult words. As they speak, they express each word clearly and distinctly. Sometimes a person from this group speaks so well that an observer can easily read the person's lips and receive the information this way also.
With this example in mind, a writer who clearly expresses a point within a work is similar to a speaker of a presentation who is articulate in speech. A writer who irons out all of the details, removing all wrinkles and anything that can provide a hindrance for the reader, is one who is articulate in written speech.

Chicken Pox is called varicella, is a profoundly infectious disease caused by the varicella-zoster infection. Albeit uneasy, a great many people recoup inside 1-2 weeks overnight lean keto reviews. There is a wave of anger like a rash, which initially shows up on the face. Although not hazardous, inconveniences can emerge.
Intro Of Chickenpox
Chickenpox is spread when a tainted individual talks, inhales, hacks or wheezes secondary particles containing irresistible specialists into the air. These are called small molecule pressurized canned products. Because of their modest size, little molecule mist concentrates can travel long separations on air flows and stay suspended noticeable all around for a considerable length of time to hours. These tiny molecule pressurized canned products might be taken in by someone else. Chickenpox is additionally spread by contact with or taking in rankle liquid.
Following disease, the infection will stay torpid (resting) in nerve cells close to the spinal line for whatever remains of the individual's life. Reactivation of this infection causes shingles (herpes zoster) as opposed to the second assault of chickenpox.
Chickenpox Symptoms
An irritated rash is the most well-known manifestation of chickenpox. The disease should be in your body for around seven to 21 days before the outbreak, and different indications create. You begin to be infectious to people around you up to 48 hours before the skin rash starts to happen.
The non-rash side effects may last a couple of days and include:
• fever
• a headache
• loss of hunger
• The knocks progressed toward becoming rankles loaded up with a liquid that spills.
• The knocks wind up dry, scab over, and start to recuperate.
• Rash: Severity fluctuates from a couple of spots to a rash that covers the entire body.
A couple of days after you encounter these side effects, the great rash will start to create. The rash experiences three stages previously you recoup. These include:
• You create red or pink knocks everywhere on your body.
• Spots: The spots create in groups and for the most part show up on the face, appendages, chest, and stomach.
The knocks on your body won't all be in a similar stage in the meantime. New raps will continuously show up all through your contamination. The rash overnight lean keto shark tank might be exceptionally irritated, particularly before it scabs over with an outside.
You are as yet infectious until the point that every one of the rankles on your body has scabbed over.
How Does Chickenpox Spread
Chickenpox is exceptionally infectious. It is effortlessly passed between non-invulnerable relatives and school cohorts through airborne particles, beads in breathed out air, and liquid from the rankles or bruises. It additionally can be transmitted in a roundabout way by direct contact with pieces of attire and different things presented to fresh fluid from extensive injuries.
Since it is so infectious, a non-safe (not inoculated) individual who is presented to chickenpox is encouraged to remain home and far from babies and little kids or other non-invulnerable individuals for 21 days after introduction. This is the hatching time frame before disease happens. The chance that the individual does not turn out to be sick in 21 days, he/she may come back to regular exercises around others. This is exceptionally problematic to class or work. It isn't essential for individuals who have been inoculated.
The contaminated individual is infectious up to five days (frequently, one to two days) prior and five days after the rash shows up. It is imperative for the tainted individual to remain home far from others while rankles and sodden injuries are available. At the point when the majority of the wounds have crusted over and are dry, which as a rule takes about seven days, the individual is viewed as no longer infectious.Screening and immunization for chickenpox are unequivocally prescribed for the individual's will's identity working in the social insurance callings.
Dignosis OF Infection
Chickenpox and shingles have a frequent appearance and are generally analyzed by a clinical introduction. This can be affirmed by a swab trial of the rash identifying the varicella-zoster infection. A blood test can recognize whether somebody has assurance from chickenpox disease before, yet the test may not be useful in deciding whether there is sufficient insusceptibility to varicella-zoster infection following inoculation. One of a few infections or illnesses could be influencing you. Tell your specialist immediately on the off chance that you are pregnant and have been presented to chickenpox.
How to Treat Chicken Pox
A specialist may endorse prescription or inform on the most proficient method to lessen manifestations concerning irritation and uneasiness, and furthermore on the best way to keep the disease.
Adhering to the guidelines given by the maker is essential. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be used whenever amid pregnancy.
Staying away from lack of hydration: It is critical to drink a lot of liquids, ideally water, to avoid drying out.
Mouth soreness: sans sugar popsicles help ease indications of pain if there are spots in the mouth. Salty or hot nourishments ought to be maintained a strategic distance from. In the case of biting is difficult, soup may be a decent choice, yet it ought not to be excessively hot.
Irritation: itchiness can end up extreme.
• keeping fingernails
• placing gloves or even socks over a tyke's hands when they rest, with the goal that any endeavor at scratching amid the night does not cut the skin
• applying calamine cream or having an oats shower to diminish tingling
• wearing free apparel
Antiviral medicine might be recommended amid pregnancy, for grown-ups who get an early analysis, in babies, and for those with a debilitated invulnerable framework. Acyclovir is one model.
This works best if it is allowed inside 24 hours of creating side effects. Acyclovir diminishes the seriousness of manifestations yet does not fix the illness.
Two portions of the immunization are about 90% successful at anticipating chickenpox. When you get inoculated, you secure yourself as well as other people in your locale. This is particularly imperative for individuals who can't get immunized, for example, those with debilitated insusceptible frameworks or pregnant ladies.
Some individuals who are immunized against chickenpox may, in any case, get the sickness. Be that as it may, it usually is milder with less rankles and almost no fever. Converse with your social insurance proficient if you have inquiries regarding chickenpox immunization.

Earlier today, heads were on fire on social media, and YouTube ended up with fifteen minutes of infamy. Thousands of tweets went out about the demise of the streaming video giant, presumably because they decided to suddenly stop paying some high profile YouTubers for advertising on certain videos. This wasn't a change in procedure, per se. The YouTubers just didn't realize that ads weren't running on certain videos because they weren't told about it – they had to look to find it out. Now, YouTube has decided to be somewhat transparent, and let them know via email, or something.
So, this isn't censorship in the strictest sense. It's just a matter of YouTube not putting advertising on certain types of content, regardless who made it. Yes, this is annoying to YouTubers, along with the already fairly restrictive limits they place on videos that could be monetized. Seriously, one has to wonder if the advertisers really know where their ads aren't appearing.
While it's fair to guess that certain "wholesome" companies that want to keep a strictly family-friendly image might not want to advertise on controversial YouTube videos. However, there are many advertisers with commercials that actually contain the kind of material YouTube is keeping ads from appearing on in the first place. Yes, they are probably placing racy advertising on the relatively tame content of YouTubers who are currently complaining about not having ads on all their videos.
We've heard from the YouTubers. The real question is, why is YouTube doing "one size fits all" advertising? Sure, there's the issue of corporate image, and the possibility that one group or another will get angry enough to call for a boycott of a product or company based on where an ad is shown. However, like the short-lived hashtag outrage over the issue of not placing ads on certain videos, those calls rarely last long, especially when it is just over advertising as opposed to something a company actually did wrong. But, the decision to place ads on controversial content shouldn't be in the hands of the company serving the content. It should be in the hands of the advertisers. Shouldn't they be the final decision makers on where their ads appear? They're the ones paying for the placement. Since YouTube has established that they are capable of weeding out this content in the first place, instead of just pulling ads entirely, why aren't they offering those placements to advertisers? Maybe they're afraid of finding out the truth that is slowly sinking in across the internet. Controversial content is highly popular, and there is money to be made if a company chooses to advertise on it.
As for the protesters on social media, next time stick with asking why YouTube is making decisions for advertisers, instead of moaning about pseudo-censorship. YouTube doesn't care what you think about their content guidelines, but advertisers certainly do care about getting their products and services in front of as many viewers as possible.

The most efficient designs start with a singular vision. This has been the case with Testgrid's new assessment platform, Oxygen.
Testgrid has been providing on line psychometrictesting to enterprises for more than a decade. Three years ago Testgrid began one of the most ambitious online assessment projects in Australia. Almost all test providers are providing tests on platforms built over a decade ago, which have been patched and adapted to try to keep pace with the innovations that have been occurring online and on mobile devices. As we all know, this is not always the best approach.
At some point you need to shed the baggage of the past and look to the future, which is exactly what Testgrid have done.
Oxygen started with a single question: 'What if one platform was build to manage the complete Employment Lifecycle?'. They imagined everything from remote interviewing, to competency mapped assessments, compliance training and on boarding, learning and development, performance management and succession planning, all working through the one platform. Although many had sold the idea of complete Talent Management, most hadn't committed the resources to make it a reality. Testgrid did.

AdiBimb- this was a new name for me. I had never heard it. An ad in the Daily Telegram the daily news paper of Andaman Nicobar Islands told me that a program by this name is organised by National School of Drama, New Delhi. I would not have taken note of it, But the the name Ratan Thiyam caught my eye. I started reading the Ad from top to bottom. I read Each and every line, word by word. Such is the importance Shri Ratan Thiyam ji has in my mental space.
Years back when i heard about National School of Drama, few names used to come in front of eye. Nagpal, Tendulkar, Bavkar, Joshi, Kulkarni, Sunila Pradhan, Mohan Agase, L etc they were the actors usually i saw on TV. Then there were Habib Tanvir, Girish Karnad, Leela Naidu, Arundhati Nag, Ranjit kapoor, when Sangeet Natak Akademi gave award to Ratan Thiyam ji i saw it on Black &white doordarshan.
He was Director of National School of drama also. then almost he went to Manipur. Just like a rishi goes to Himayala for tapsaya. he went to Manipur. There he established an academy i think. Later when this Jawaharlal Nehru Academy of Manipur dance was established and i saw a dance ballet based on the story of Manipur deer- loktak ?on doordarshan. Later i came to know that Ratan Thiyam ji has revolutionized the Theatre as such and not only the Manipuri theatre. He has utilized all the Manipuri arts in theatre. I also feel all these arts have deep relations within. Be it a performing arts, visual arts, etc names can be many. But at core all are depending on each other. Thus when a production or a project is presented then all the arts, Visual- light, sound, background, set designing props that comes under stage crafts, Music, Dance and drama, Traditional martial arts which Ratan Thiyam ji has used, Weaving-Textile-Fabric arts while preparing for costumes, make up, then comes the language-it is also very important in portraying the characters, if the language and dialogues are not chosen for a character then the identity, power-potential of certain characters dilutes. In all these aspects Ratan JI have mastery. He has vision of his own.
