Indian online retailing giant Flipkart has announced an investment of US$500 million in its payments service, PhonePe. The service is a major component of Flipkart's ever growing web of operations due to its affiliation to the brand and the increasing investment made in the sector by rivals such as Amazon Pay and Paytm. While Flipkart had earlier made a total investment of US$75 million in the payment module, the new funding represents a major step for the retailing giant, as it attempts to expand in the payments space to complement its growing retail business. The investment is expected to start coming in from later this year, with the first instalment of up to US$200 million likely to hit the floor around December or January 2018.
Flipkart aims to get a major stake in the offline organized market in the coming years, with PhonePe likely to herald the online retailer's charge. The investment is likely to be utilized in improving the technology team of the venture and making the mobile application more diversely capable by adding more operating categories in its function. The technology team makes up more than 50% of PhonePe's workforce at the present but needs more manpower to compete with the likes of Paytm and Amazon Pay.
Amazon recently upped its investment in its own payments arm, Amazon Pay, to more than US$300 million. With both PhonePe and Amazon Pay likely to witness significant usage in the ongoing festive season in India, which is renowned as the top revenue generation opportunity for online retailers, the stage could be set for an intriguing battle between India's top retailers as they take on the payment giant Paytm in its own playing field.

I found the concept of forex minute trader interesting. I have been running this EA per their reconmendations for about a week now on two MT4's with EA running on twelve different pairs. The EA has traded only three small trades two wins and one smaller loss. I will run it for a while longer before I ask for a refund.

I took way more pictures this week. I am officially proud!
*Aloe drink from the Chinese supermarket - thanks Claire!
*Panda biscuit from Chinese supermarket again
*Jubilee biscuits at work - yummy:)
*Me and the bf met Pikachu!
*Me, the bf and Claire have started counting our pennies for our trip to Florida in exactly 1 years time - every little helps.
*Me and the bf made Sunday roast with Claire's supervision.
*Lego store! I may have bought some to turn into jewellery :)
Last week was another busy one at work so I was really looking forward to the weekend where for the first time in weeks I had no plans whatsoever. Nice. It was payday on Friday so me and the bf went to town on Saturday where I gave my debit card a battering. Photos of my purchases to come!
Then on Sunday we made a Sunday roast while chatting endlessly with Claire about our Florida trip. 359 days to go! I'm not excited at all, ha ha. We even made a goal chart to mark our savings towards the holiday. Bring on the saving.
How was your week?

It may be a little early, but it looks like if Oprah wants the 2020 Democratic nomination for president, she's got it. After all, she makes us feel better, and puts us in touch with our best selves. From Kurt Schlichter at theburningplatform.com:
If I was a Democrat, like everyone at NBC and noted Cruise Director Bill Kristol, I'd want Oprah Winfrey to run for president too. She's got all the qualifications to be a Dem candidate – she's vacuous, she embraces all the required liberal taboos, and she hates the right people – that is, people like you. And, best of all, Oprah isn't one of the horde of weirdos, losers, and mutations already threatening to run.
She knows how to string a sentence together, which is useful. Oprah wouldn't be a human gaffe machine like Touchy Joe Biden. She's also not 87 years old like he is – it'll be a shame to miss out on what Joe says and does as age loosens his tongue. Someone get that man a Twitter account!
At one time, the noted naked he-nymph probably would have been a big threat to any Republican running for president. He's not roundly hated like Hillary, and he seems amiable, if bumbling. But the whole wandering hands thing and all those snaps of him leering at uncomfortable-looking teens with a face doesn't work for males of pallor in the era of #MeToo.
Those pics of Oprah cavorting with Harvey Fernseed won't stop her – she'll get a liberal gal pass like Meryl Streep. Remember, the liberals don't really care. It's all fake outrage designed to kneecap competitors. When a history of not harassing women, or enabling those who do, gets in the way of what liberals really want, it's "Gropes away!" Right, Felonia Milhouse von Pantsuit?

Hritik Roshan? as The Mughal Emperor Akbar, and Aishwarya Rai as Jodha Bai.
Stills from the Hindi movie Jodha Akbar.
Though a Muslim Emperor, Akbar (the Great), who was extremely tolerant for his time, wanted to unite the various faiths and peoples within his extensive empire. He married a Hindu princess, Jodha Bai, and invited Sunni's, Shias, Christians, Jains and Hindus to debate religious issues at his court. After hearing their arguments, he decided that no one religion has a monopoly on truth. Then he created his own syncretist religion.
Akbar was a devotee of the Sufi Saint Salim Chisti, one of a long line of pirs in a branch of Sufism particularly renowned for it's tolerance, and emphasis on love as the true essence of religion. To this day, both Muslims and Hindus worship at many of the Chisti Shrines.
Unable to produce a male heir, Akbar walked barefoot to meet with the saint to ask for a blessing so that he could have a son. Akbar subsequently had three sons. Later he built his palace of Fatehpur Sikri, and a beautiful marble tomb for Salim Chisti, on the site of the saint's encampment.
Here is a link to a beautiful sufi song:http://sahajapower.wordpress.com/2008/05/18/o-saint-khwaja-reside-in-my-heart/
Akbar was an exceptional patron of the arts. Under his reign, Indian miniature painting reached a high point, combining Islamic decorative bravura with Hindu genius for combining rich, bright colours.

10 December 2010
Last week we released some 11-month preliminary figures for global M&A activity and the picture was not flowing with joyous tidings. In a nutshell, for the third consecutive year global M&A activity is declining in terms of deal values and is currently down by around a third on the same period in 2009. What's more disconcerting is that it's numbers of deals where the real decline is being exposed.
Even taking into account that the figures were based on 11 months rather than 12, the decline in numbers of deals is around 25%. Even with the end of year upturn to try and complete deals, there is no way that December will see the sort of numbers of deals that will mean the year will finish close to last year.
The only real bright spot has been private equity, with the year shaping up to be a significant improvement on 2009, albeit still not close to the sort of levels we were seeing pre-2008. Deal values are up by around 34% on the same time in 2009, however, consistent with the broader market, deal volumes are still low.
Ultimately Christmas and the end of the year is rapidly approaching and I for one will be hoping that the Christmas elves start delivering what we are all hoping for – deals!

I LOOOOOOVE pizza! I love the chewy crust, the tang of garlic, the melted cheese and the rich sauce. In a perfect world I wouldn't get bloated with stomach cramps from wheat or have skin irritations and stomach issues caused by cheese. In a perfect world I would eat pizza everyday and never see any negative effects on my health. Alas – my world is not perfect. So, I still eat pizza. I eat the dairy and wheat stuff every so often, but it is still very few and far between. In the space between waiting for the next piece of pizza I've been tinkering with some alternative recipes which I can have more often without the negative health effects. 🙂 yay! I made this pizza about a year ago when I first began flirting with vegan and alternative recipes. I decided to experiment one Friday night when Patrick and I had decided to stay in and have a movie and beer night. He agreed with me – this pizza turned out veggie-delicious considering what it was missing! It helps to have someone to taste test with you who is really supportive and has an iron stomach just in case ;0).
For the crust I used this recipe from Local Betty. It calls for xanthan gum (I omitted it) and various GF flours. I only used the GF flour baking mix I had on hand, which already has xanthan gum in it – hence the reason for my omission! It also calls for an egg (also omitted) and some cheese. I included soy cheese I had purchased for the topping instead of the parmesan cheese suggested. I know what you're thinking – I changed it up quite a bit. But – in my defense, I'm lazy and I was in a rush to make us some delicious pizza. The sauce was my own recipe. Tomato paste, agave nectar, salt, pepper, onion salt, minced garlic (I pile on the garlic), lots of Italian seasonings, basil, etc. Then came the toppings: all the veggies you can think of. Tomatoes, peppers, olives, broccoli, onions: I pretty much just grabbed handfuls of everything we had on hand. I then topped it with some delicious vegan cheese. I had picked a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella which I think gave it some nice variety.
Word of advice – I cooked my crust until it was a golden brown before topping it with anything. That prevented the crust from getting too soggy once the sauce and pasta were added. Voila – a delicious pizza piled high with veggies and on a crunchy on the outside chewy on the inside GF crust! Mission accomplished 🙂
Has anyone else had any luck attempting a gluten-free pizza crust? What do you like? Do you get as annoyed as I do at the complicated recipes out there? Share your questions and triumphs with me, I'd love to hear them!

Some people in this world make insane amounts of money, but billionaire industrialist and Gotham City playboy Bruce Wayne takes personal income to unimaginable levels of insane. Wayne is filthy rich, to be sure, but there is a side of Mr. Wayne and his globally-dominant Wayne Industries that many people do not see: The Wayne Foundation, his generous philanthropy organization. I got to tour the Phoenix offices of Wayne Industries this week, and I am going to leak a few very interesting secrets about the legendary Bruce Wayne (SPOLIER: Bruce Wayne is merely a secret identity for a well-known superhero).
How Do You Avoid Becoming a Workaholic?
Some of the jobs I have held over the years have been downright awful. I remember working one summer during college at a factory that manufactured those hard-shelled briefcases (like the ones James Bond would carry). Every day I woke up early, drove downtown, did 8 hours of manual labor at minimum wage, bought my lunch from a dirty taco truck, and listened to my supervisor try to fit as many vulgar terms for female body parts into one sentence as he could — and he was proficient, let me tell you.
Menial jobs like that one suffocated me because I never felt a passion for hauling briefcase parts from one part of the factory to another for weeks on end. I wanted a job I loved — one that I was passionate about. Oddly enough, I have learned that having a job I love can be even more draining than any of the jobs I hated.
Thoughts on Getting Married Young
I have often thought about how drastically the process of getting married has changed from when my grandparents were young. For one thing, the time between boy-and-girl-meet and boy-and-girl-marry was much shorter than it is today. Back then, it was relatively common for a courtship to last only a few months. Now it seems commonplace for couples to be engaged for years on end. Many people would say that delaying marriage is a good thing, but I am convinced otherwise.
There's Been ANOTHER Change of Plan
If you are familiar with the story behind our adoption of Harrison, you will remember that the recurring theme of the entire process was "there has been a change of plan". Nothing went the way we planned with Harrison's adoption, and as we set out again on the path of adding to the family, we were taken on another journey that we could never have imagined.
A Thank You to Foster Parents
Today I saw a Facebook post of some friends of mine who have been foster parents for a sibling group of three little kids over the last few years. The post included a cute, professional family photo of them smiling with their foster kids and their new baby. The caption below it read, "Took a family picture before my oldest daughter has to go live with her bio dad." The photo and the caption broke my heart.

There is a famous saying in Delhi – there are two kinds of people; one who eats to live and the other who lives to eat. Fortunately, Delhites are referred to as connoisseurs of good food which has come from the age old exchange of cultures tracing its way back to quite a few centuries.
The Ethnic Delhi Flavor: Fine dining has come of age in Delhi and doesn't only mean reaching for high profile delicacies in an opulent ambience. The taste has evolved into an attempt to check out less opulent but more popular eating joints, nestling in some virgin pockets of Old Delhi. Famous for its layered parathas – a type of bread friend on a griddle and made without yeasts – the "Gali" flaunts of three families there who have been involved in the art of turning out parathas for generations. The whole landscape of Delhi is peppered with numerous street side stalls selling anything from 'chaats' to delicious 'kulfis'.
Savor the Bygone Mughals: The Mughals came and reigned over Delhi for many centuries. Today, you can still see their stamp in the wide array of delicious Mughlai cusine that Old Delhi still boasts of. So much so, a tour to Old Delhi cannot be complete without a lunch at a local restaurant. Taste the delicious food enjoyed by the Mughal Rulers from the family of royal cooks which served, among others, Emperor Akbar. You can try the mouthwatering meat delicacies; especially the rich Biryanis and the assorted Kebabs.
Illustrious eateries in Delhi: The Bengali market is your halt to access the famous crunchy delights like the chaats, papdis and tikkis. Try the kebab dishes that are ubiquitous in Delhi. These snacks are inexpensive and a delight to your taste buds.
We put our efforts to provide you an array of some of these classic and mouth watering dishes that have been savored by the people of New Delhi for decades, we offer the Cuisine of India to you at a modest little place called Little Delhi.
Catering: Little Delhi specializes in catering office lunches, birthdays, fundraisers, corporate events and social celebrations of any kind. Our experienced catering team can creatively address your needs with choices from our menu featuring a variety of delicious indian entrees and with pricing that is appropriate for your budget. From simple a lá carte platters and boxed lunches all the way to full service catering for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and private events, Little Delhi delivers extraordinary service and value every time.

Another runner went past me at the pace that I had imagined I was was doing but obviously wasn't - I went super slow so that I could last the 20 minutes but I still can't believe how far I have come in 5 weeks! The downside was that after the final brisk 5 minute walk I felt nauseous for about 2 hours. I read that it might have been dehydration. How much water should I be drinking? I drank 1/2 litre immediately before and around another 1 & 1/2 litres throughout the day. I hadn't eaten for 2 hours before I ran.

Happy belated birthday and The return
You've saved my hide many a time concerning mathematics homework, and I've tried to touch yours plenty of times. I'm sorry for occasionally succeeding! You're a great girl and I've missed you. I'm sorry that I've been bundled up with one thing or another. I'll see you soon, I promise! My prayer for you this year is that you'll find answers you never expected and experience joy and fulfillment beyond anything you could anticipate.
Love always,
Another thing to celebrate is the return of My Love! She's back from around the world with trophies for our future home. Tapestries and calligraphy. T-shirts and tummy hurts.
I'm glad to have you back, My Loveliest One. I can't wait to hold you while I look over the photos of your travels and read your travel log.
Time for bed. Sorry for the lack of substance in pt. 2 of this post. I'm blogging from my phone. If you're good, I may even augment this post with some (not)chickens when I'm next at my computer.
Missing you all,

You are....just amazing :) Love you too....come and visit soon please, we miss you here. Especially Sniffles!!! HehehReplyDelete
I think your (not)chickens are quite possibly on my list of my very favorite things in the world! In fact, I'm on the brink of commissioning an original Chester the Best-er (not)chicken from you and having my friend make a button for my blog. I'm totally serious here, too.ReplyDelete
*Pant pant*
You're too kind! You can have as many silly scribbles as you like!
I don't think I've ever seen so many exclamation marks in a post of yours before. You must be excited - about touching JP's hide, no less :)ReplyDelete
21 is exciting! Yes, it's true. I like to emphasise things without the use of an exclamation mark. However, I was blogging from my phone, so I guess I wrote a little differently... You know that your hide is the only one I dream of :)!ReplyDelete
Off to the theatre tonight!

Fake looking crowns or dental veneers
Are you concerned about your fake looking crowns or dental veneers?
There is nothing worse than a crown or dental veneer that looks 'fake' or sits apart from the rest of the teeth.
Fake looking veneers are a result of materials that are too opaque, too hard or too white.
Metal copings under crowns can make them look unnatural. A dark line can appear around the gumline of these crowns creating a significant aesthetic problem.
Dental veneers and crowns that are made of ceramic completely and of a ceramic that is very similar to teeth will look seamless and blend in perfectly.
Come in for a chat to see what can be done to replace your old crowns and if you are seeking to do veneers we can advise you on what is the most subtle way of achieving amazing results.

I've lamented my lack of summer-weight sport coats a lot on this blog, but over the course of the past month I've run across several great pieces. A couple of them have gone into regular rotation, and a couple more of them will be added to that cycle as soon as my tailor returns from a family vacation to Greece.
My most recent (and current favorite) find is this light blue, almost chambray-colored 100% cotton number. Many will scoff at the brand name (Stafford), but it's vintage and fairly well made. Considering it set me back a whole $6 and fit me dang well right off the (thrift) rack, I'm not about to get too snobby with labels.
I paired this new find with one of my favorite ties in my entire collection, a find from way back when I first started this blog. I've found more madras since the three in that linked post, but they're still some of my favorites.
Not quite as sweltering here, but still very, very warm. With a couple months of summer left, I should probably just buckle down and quit complaining, as it sounds like it might be the new norm.

I do. We're experimenting on what that would mean if we did that.
Do you think the game would be better if double golems spawned at 1:45 or 1:50 to remedy purple side bot lane disadvantage/ Super crazy level 2 cheeses from powerful purple side earlygame top laners?
Or, alternatively, why don't we lower the power differential between levels 1 and 2? it seems like so much of gameplay revolves around hitting level 2 first and snowballing the advantage, which might be more of a problem than the double golems advantage
Had that conversation today, in fact. We're considering it.
Any thoughts on removing the cast time or allowing cast while moving for sivir's ult? It strikes me as really off that a chasing/movement ability makes her stop to cast it and it can really screw her over. A related case is volibear's R which feels awkward as hell to use a lot of the time because of the case animation. I know voli's in a really good to overpowered spot right now and doesn't really need buffs but not casting his ult so the other person doesn't escape feels counter-intuitive.


text: The KS2 Christmas concert was delivered in a spectacular fashion as we were blessed with singing , drama and dance in the sanctuary and pews of the Parish church- a fitting ambience and backdrop. The fourth wise man brings us to the realization that Jesus is the reason we are celebrating. Also that gift giving started with Jesus and was extended with the Epiphany -Gold Frankincense and Myrrh – offered by the Three wise men or Maji who followed The star. this celebration opened our minds to the thought that Joseph was the Fourth of the wise men as he Followed Jesus and believed that despite the talk and the potential shame working for God is the best vocation.

Quotes from Parent Advocates
"Elizabeth Barrett is an amazing school. It starts the moment you walk into the front door and hear the morning music that greets the children on their arrival. From the "Seeds of Change" program to the EB Buddies, the sense of community at the school is fantastic. WE have been fortunate with great teachers, fun, fieldtrips, and a true sense of "home" at the school."
Becky C.
"l love that EB teachers consider all aspects of student development beyond academic. Physical Literacy, Mindfulness, the Response to Intervention Planning are all fabulous! I know that when I send my son to school, I know he is surrounded by caring staff who are working to help him, and others become the best versions of himself/themselves."

My Three Blogs
My brother Matt is annoyed with the lack of recent updates around here. He thinks I should be blogging like crazy, what with all this free time I have. He thinks I should have three blogs, and at least one of them should involve Russian basketball league stats.
I think he should drink a tall glass of shut up juice, and start his own damn blog. I was going to write all about how I need three blogs like I need a third nipple, but considering what is to come, a third nipple might actually be a good thing.
Things have been pretty quiet around Casa A lately, I'm still working the bedrest, T is still working everything else in the world, with the help of our previously discussed awesome family and friends.
I did have to be taken off of the Brethine, a week ago today, in fact. My pulse kept hovering around 133 and 144, I swelled up like Violet Beauregarde, and began to feel like I was drowning every time I laid down. My doctor informed me that Brethine can cause preeclampsia-like side effects, and that if the breathing issue didn't resolve itself in two hours of every occurence, I would need a chest x-ray. It didn't come to that, thank goodness, and every day I'm off that awful fucking medicine I feel a little better.
This surge of crappy, medication related problems coincided with a visit from my college roommates. Good timing! Fortunately, it wasn't until the tail end of the weekend, so our fun was for the most part, uninterrupted. I remember at one point, they were upstairs, getting ready for bed, and I was downstairs all tucked in already. I listened to them laugh and laugh over something that they were talking about, and I kept thinking that all was right with the world. That this, their laughter, was all the medicine I needed. They didn't care that I had to be horizontal for the bulk of the weekend- they just wanted to be here, and it was awesome. They even ignored my little nervous breakdown before my first night out in a month. I missed them the minute they left, and can't wait to see them again.
Then there was another baby shower for the little guy. It was as fun as the first shower, and I didn't have to lay on my side! We had a really nice time, and were blown away by the generous gifts. Since T was there, a new record was set for speed in gift unwrapping. The man does NOT MESS AROUND.
And now I'm all caught up. I have a doc appointment on Thursday, and I'm hoping that they'll tell me to get up and clean my filthy house, already. I'll be 34 weeks. 34 WEEKS. I never thought I'd get this far! All this fuss, who wants to bet I go at least 7 more weeks?

Portfolio Sample
See a sample of my design work. For mock up requests or design documents, please contact me.
I was brought on by the /r/Overwatch subreddit team to assist in developing a new theme in preparation for the game's beta and eventual release. Developing for Reddit is unique in that there is no access to source code outside of a stylesheet. All HTML is created through what Markdown allows, which is limited to things such as paragraphs, bolding, italics, quotes, etc.
With pure CSS, I was able to add interactive panels for game information, a semi-responsive layout, animated images, 3d effects, and more.
PerSys Medical
For 2015, the PerSys Medical Group was looking to move away from an online retail storefront and focus on its position as a world-class manufacturer of medical devices. I was tasked with designing and creating a mobile-ready website that would focus on the technology and design of our products.
With the launch of our new automatic intraosseous device, the NIO, PerSys Medical required a website to show off the product, its innovative features, and provide case studies regarding its use.
Blizzard Entertainment
The Blizzard Entertainment customer service team wanted to make a stronger push to social media, including the launch of its own Facebook page. To pair with this launch, I created several Facebook Apps that promoted the self-service options and contact methods for customers.I also created a Hearthstone Beta promotion, leveraging the popularity of our recently announced game to increase our user-base. While we didn't end up using a full-fledged application, the promotion was a huge success, and boosted our Like count to over 50,000 people.

We Are Many (2015)
Movie Info
Critic Reviews for We Are Many
All Critics (12) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (3)
Since the rally ultimately proved ineffectual, the film could at the least serve as a sobering postmortem on where it fell short.
This impressive doc pieces together the story of the biggest global protest in history.
Illuminating, potent, fair and balanced. Enraging yet hopeful. One of the best documentaries of the year. It's important that you watch it for the sake of democracy.
Key figures from the original marches share teary (and tear-inducing) memories of the moment when the people said no, while a trail of guilty lies is followed from the dodgy dossier to the Chilcot inquiry with still enraging results.
Amir Amirani's documentary will jog memories about the sheer scale of the anti-war protests in Britain in February 2003.
Why rake over old coals now other than to issue a gigantic 'I told you so'?

Your vision could be in jeopardy, and you may not even be aware that anything is happening. Glaucoma is the term for a group of "silent" eye disorders often stemming from high intraocular pressure that can damage the optic nerve, cause peripheral vision loss and lead to blindness. This can occur when eye fluid doesn't circulate normally.
At Cleveland Clinic Sugarbush Eye and Laser Centre, our team of Ophthalmologists and Optometrists is trained to identify glaucoma and provide treatment to manage the condition.
Types of Glaucoma
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: the most common type that develops slowly with unnoticeable symptoms
Angle-Closure Glaucoma: occurring very quickly with obvious symptoms and damage
Normal-Tension Glaucoma: stemming from eyes without high eye pressure
Congenital Glaucoma: occurring in infants Symptoms of Glaucoma
Because glaucoma doesn't always ave obvious symptoms, this is one more reason to have regular eye exams to identify such conditions. Symptoms can include:
- Cloudy vision
- Halo vision around lights
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Eye redness
- Tearing
- Decreased vision
Glaucoma Treatment
Treatment of glaucoma focuses on lowering eye pressure using one or a combination of methods:
- Glaucoma eye drops
- Glaucoma laser surgery
- Glaucoma microsurgery
There are no steps you can take to prevent glaucoma, but it can be controlled if it is caught in the early stages. Contact us today to schedule a comprehensive eye exam and discuss your individual situation with one of our experienced Ophthalmologists or Optometrists.

Asexual Reproduction in Fungi
Ø This post describes different types of ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION methods in fungi
Ø About 20% fungi propagate only by asexual means
Ø Asexual reproduction take places during favorable condition by the formation of a variety of spores
Ø Such spores produced by asexual reproduction are called mitospores
Ø Spores may be unicellular (Aspergillus, Penicillium) or Multicellular (Alternaria, Cercospora)
Ø Based on the number of cells in spores, asexual spores of fungi are classified into:
1. Amerospore: one celled spores
2. Didymospore: two celled spores
3. Phragmospore: spore with two or more transverse septa
4. Dictyospores: spores with one or more transverse and vertical septa
5. Scolecospores: vermiform or filiform (thread like) shaped spores
6. Staurospores: stellate or spores with radiating arms
7. Helicospores: spirally coiled spores
Ø The number of cells in spores have immense taxonomic importance for the identification and classification of fungi
Ø The spores may be endogenous when enveloped in pycnidia or sporangia (Mucor, Rhizopus) or they may be exogenous when developed on sporophores or conidiophores (Aspergillus, Penicillium)
Ø Spores produced in specialized sacks called sporangia are known as sporangiospores
Ø Spores produced on the tip of hyphae either singly or in group, is called conidiospores
Ø Common asexual spores of fungi are:
(1). Zoospores
(2). Aplanospores
(3). Conidiospores
(4). Chlamydospores
(5). Pycnidiospores
(6). Oidia
(1). Zoospores
Ø Zoospores are a type of sporangiospores (endospore)
Ø They are motile spores with flagella
Ø Zoospores are usually produced by lower groups of fungi
Ø Example: Phythium, Phytopthora
Ø Based on the number and position of flagella, there are three types of zoospores in fungi
(1). Posteriorly uni-flagellated zoospores: zoospores with posteriorly placed whiplash type of flagella (example: Chytridiomycetes)
(2). Anteriorly uni-flagellated zoospore: zoospores with anteriorly placed tinsel type of flagella (Example: Hypochytridiomycetes)
(3). Biflagellated zoospores: zoospores with two anteriorly or laterally attached flagella, one is whiplash and the other is tinsel type (Example: Oomycetes)
(2). Aplanosores
Ø Aplanospores are non-motile spores, produced in sporangia (endospores)
Ø Usually they are round in shape with one or many nucleus
Ø Most of the cases, aplanospores are produced in large numbers
Ø They can germinate by the formation of germ tube in the favourable conditions
(3). Conidia or conidiospores
Ø Conidia are non-motile spores
Ø They are produced in single or in chain on special type of hyphae called conidiophore
Ø Conidia are exospores since they are produced exogenously
(4). Pycnidiospores:
Ø They are very small spores produced in special structures called Pycnidia
Ø Pycnidiospors are usually produced by members of fungi imperfectii (Deuteromycetes) and many lichens
Ø They are usually single celled, thin walled, however multicellular pycnidiospres are also found
(5). Chlamydospores
Ø Chlamydospores are thick walled resting spores
Ø They store food materials (Eg. Ustilago)
(6). Oidia:
Ø Hyphae breaks up to small pieces each develops into single called oidia
Ø Oidia are generally thin walled and small
Ø They do not store food material
Ø Oidia germinate immediately after liberation (Eg. Coprinus)
Ø Fungal component in some lichen can reproduce by the formation of oidia

Secrets to Successful Landscaping
- Put the big stuffs/plants in the desired places first
Organize your bigger plants and trees first. Once you have put them in the right places, you can place the smaller plants around it. Consider the distance of the bigger plants and how long or big it will grow. Project things so the big plants will not cover your yard in the future which might prevent the sun to shine on your yard.
- Match your house with your yard (colors, styles, etc.)
Get some ideas from friends, relatives or neighbors but still be unique. You can play with color blends but be sure that the combinations will match your house.
- Decide what you want to see inside and out
Have sometime inside your house by sitting near the window and imagine what you want to see. After that, go outside and also make a perspective of the design you want and see if it will be pleasing to the eyes when the viewer is inside and outside your house.
- Study your yard
Go outside your yard in different time and weather condition to check where the sunlight will fall and where the rain collects. Find the best place to put the pathways, the gazebo or a fountain if you plan to put one and other components you want to put.
- Be Budget Wise
Shop for tools like shovels, spade, wheelbarrow, pickax, tamper, rake, knives, sods, landscaping stakes and others by comparing from store to store. List down your priorities in case you ran out of budget. Take note also if you will be hiring people to do the job for you how many will you need and how much will the labor cost.
- Make sure all the plants you will be putting in your yard can be handled easily by you. Like I said earlier, project things.
To install the sods on your own:
Step 1: Clean the soil, remove weeds and other unfriendly debris mixed on it then till it to loosen the soil. Mix an organic soil to make it fertile then by using a rake, level the ground.
Step 2: Unroll the sod or turf and lay it on the area where you want it to grow. To cut curve edges, you can use a hose as a guide and use a lawn edger to cut the excess. Fill in all the space with turf and as closely as possible to avoid visible spaces. Use landscaping stakes or landscape staples to fasten the turf to the ground. Measure at least 5-6 inches distance from each stake. Landscape staples come in a box of 50 to 100 pieces at affordable prices so you can use it throughout your landscaping project. You can buy more boxes if you are planning to lay sods in a wider area. The 5 Star Collection sells a 100 piece 6 inches landscaping stakes at a sale price in Amazon, you might want to grab some of those for your landscaping project.
Step 3: Using a lawn brush, fill in the joint with topsoil so that the parts will join faster. If you have a lawn roller, use it to firmly push the sod on the ground. Water the newly installed sod thoroughly and remember to water it regularly.

So Ive been thinking about my career for some time, and well the honest truth is that Cheffing is not a glamorous career, it is not a sunny day at the beach, it is fun; but not full of happy moments, it is not a way to get famous or score hot chicks. Cheffing is about honest hard work. Most people dont seem to realise it, (it has taken me some time too). Comments like "Wow your like a master chef," or "I want to be a magazine chef" seem to be a joke to me. TV glamorizes us and shows those peachy moments when you get to cook for one person, or three or four. Cheffing isn't like that ts about serving high quality grub to 50/60/70/120 people at a time and not even breaking a sweat. This is a career about hard work, sweat and blood. I know it, Ive been in the industry for 10 years now, and for some reason I've been spending a bit too much time in la la land and not really thinking about what I'm doing. I do feel like Im finally getting a grip on my life, and the good food helps, maybe this is more a lif lesson than a career lesson, hard work will get you far. Not big ideas and little movement, but small steps forward, improving things everyday. So now its head down, and knives to the grindstone.

Thinking about it, it is still not the right job for me. But then it wont be, not until I own my own little restaurant where the art on the walls and the music playing will be just as good as the food on the plate. Where diners will nosh down and enjoy there meal while being entertained by beautiful waitresses and be able to see the chefs sweat over there meals. Where am I know then? I hear you ask... well I'm finally in a place where the chefs aren't treated like chickens, over used, over abused and under paid. I'm at the place where I get to cook great food, with and inspirational chef, where the cooks care and the clients do to. To learn how to stick it out through the fire and sweat and to prove to myself that this is the life I want and the life I've chosen.
And then here's my foodie blog, (I used to be a foodie now I'm just a chef,) and its not full of home truths, or cooking tips. Its just another egotistical enterprise but at least I think its great and meaningful and maybe I will get a chance to write about a few recipes or the insperation for a plate. But it wont be beautifully photod or perfectly laid out, just more food on a plate that tastes great and keeps me and the team I work with inspired.
I have spent a lot of time looking through other food blogs and I know realize that there are so few real cheffing blogs. If you read The Times Top 50 food blogs or type food blog into google, you dont get real foodie stories, just blogs from mom's and housewives trying to fill there free hours by blogging about the food they made there kids for tea. Not that they are all shit, just most of them, you an see on the side bar Ive started to make a collection of my faveourite food blogs and Ive found only a few that are run by real chefs who are bloggin about cooking and this crazy life we live. Real chefs dont have the time or the energy to sit down and write a blog about the evenings service, or the steak they mucked up. They live and breathe food, they dont really want to write about it afterwards. Oh, well Im just a little bit more crazy than my collegues, I write about it and it rocks. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do!!

Johnny Lingo is the main character in a nineteenth-century tale set in the South Sea islands. It was written by Patricia McGerr in 1965 and first published in Women's Day Magazine; reprinted in the February 1988 Reader's Digest and later adapted for two different motion pictures.
Is there a way to stop or even slow down the continual drifting apart of modern-day Johnny and Mahana? And what is the secret, if there is one, to a long life of bliss where a man and woman raise a happy family and then grow old together under the same thatched roof? Its not discovering a secret as much as it may be just paying attention to important principles that too many of us overlook.
On the island of Kiniwata, cows were symbols of wealth. These conceptualized cows are symbols as well--representing something of far greater value in any relationship than mere financial status. These 8 cows represent the character traits and values Johnny and Mahana each must have if they are to sustain a modern relationship.
Too many relationships are short of character. They are devoid of trust, respect, honesty, fidelity, and a litany of other virtues. They are sometimes built only on physical attraction and common interests. But that has NEVER been enough. Life and relationships are much more enjoyable when you have the requisite character traits.
In the spirit of Johnny Lingo and the traditions of Kiniwata: Mahana, you need to be an eight-cow woman; and, Johnny, you need to bring eight cows of your own to the table.
"Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong; it is character."
-Albert Einstein
Before Johnny could have his eight-cow woman, he had to be an eight-cow man.
Johnny took the time and effort to acquire the eight cows of his own.
Mahana through her goodness, humility, hard work, and despite the fact many people couldn't see it, was worth every one of them.
What are our standards?
These conceptualized modern cows will represent character traits.
What eight cows would you like to see in your relationship partner?
The ideal in any relationship is to create symbiosis.
Bring all eight of these characteristics to the relationship right up front.
The eight critical characteristic traits necessary for a sustainable relationship are:
1. Trusted Friendship
2. Passion for Life
3. Wisdom and Witt
4. Financial Responsibility
5. Spirituality
6. Extraordinary and Unique
7. Romantic and Intimate
8. Considerate and Kind
Having each of these characteristics could help lead to a happier, more successful life--not necessarily an easy life, but a life that could overcome challenges and make long-term meaningful relationships an achievable goal.
"Character--the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life--is the source from which self respect springs." -Joan Didion
"Character is who you are and what you do when you think no one is watching." -Anonymous
The Trusted Friend
"Soul mates are people who bring out the best in you. They are not perfect but are always perfect for
Friendships include: Joking Around, Plenty of Fun, talking about the future and what each person wants out of life; then helping each other achieve their personal goals.
Friendship is a contract of the heart.
Friendship should be something worth fighting and dying for. A friendship should mean everything.
Friendship is a mutual meeting of hearts and minds--an unspoken bond of love, honesty, and trust. Friends entrust each other with their very souls.
Friendship is the foundation for a successful relationship to last. It is what will ultimately hold the relationship together.
A trusted friend is a true confidant, a best friend, someone we share our lives with--the good, the bad, and the ugly. Such friends are nonjudgemental of each other. They are a valued part of each other's lives.
Friendship will see a couple through the good times and the bad times. The loyalty they have to each other can soften any disagreement. The understanding between true friend overcomes all obstacles.
There is a difference between liking and loving. When you love someone without liking them, the night can be long and cold, and contempt comes up with the sun.
"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
True friendship can only flourish in an atmosphere of trust.
When two people both have this character trait of trusted friendship, they can then trust each other's motives and commitment to go the distance and not abandon the family/relationship. There will be a sense of security.
Certainly, trust and love are both important, but love can only linger for so long when trust no longer exists. Friends expect each other to be forthcoming with all relevant information.
Trusted friends take each other into their most extreme confidence.
Trust goes way beyond just being honest or telling the truth...
Friends trust that when they are down, their friend will lift them up. They trust that their friend will watch their back and stick up for them in public. They trust that their friend will also tactfully tell them when they have done something wrong or even if their hair is out of style. They trust that their friend will believe in them when everybody else casts doubts. The trust that their friend will be there to lend a hand when it is really needed and even when it isn't. Friends trust each other to share the good times and the bad.
Conversations to build and determine friendship:
How important to you is a trusted friendship in our relationship?
Do you consider me a trusted friend?
Do you ever find it difficult to tell me the truth? When?
If I have violated your trust, what can I do to rebuild that trust?
Have you ever violated my trust? Do you trust me enough to share that incident with me?
Do you think it is possible to truly trust another person?
"Lust is easy. Love is hard. Like is most important." -Carl Reiner
"Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships." -Stephen R. Covey
Passion For Life
"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire." -Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch
Passion for life is the drive to live beyond one's self--to lose one's self in something bigger than ego.
You either live your life with meaningful passion or that energy will be diverted elsewhere.
The villain to a life of passion is someone who knows right from wrong, has great prospects to do good, yet is unwilling to become passionate about his opportunities.
Most people like to point to the activities of the villain and label them as "the problem". But laziness, endless internet surfing, excessive television, drugs, and addictions of all kinds are more symptoms than problems. They are the indicators of a life that has a dearth of spirit, of purpose, or commitment--the fire in such a person's life has been misdirected or numbed.
Passion is food to our soul. We must have it to live. Passion fuels and drives our efforts.
Passion for life is essential to existence because life is wholesome, worthwhile, and involves building people and creating goodness in the world. The opposite is death. It breeds destruction, selfishness, contempt, and world full of hate. The Bible teaches there are only two choices--life or death. Which will you feed your passion to?
A physiological explanation for our need for passion:
"People want to experience joy. Joy emanates from the natural hormones of dopamine and serotonin from the midbrain organ called the amygdala. As we enjoy our family, our relationships, our work, and our recreation our brains produce these important chemicals that bring joy. In fact the greatest stimulant of these natural chemicals comes through selfless service. Jesus proclaimed, he 'who loses himself will find himself.' As we lose ourselves in good work, the passion that inspired the action works within us and literally our brain changes. Nitrous oxide is released causing the 'good feeling' that attends good deeds. This is a short-lived molecule that if sustained through persistent virtuous living, will elevate the important neurotransmitters of serotonin and dopamine.
People who become depressed have low levels of these two chemicals and often will 'self medicate'. They employ a surrogate method of increasing these substances--succumbing to addictions. The use of alcohol, cocaine, tobacco, methamphetamines, and even pornography will raise the levels of these brain chemicals in an unnatural manner. Those who use these substances, will 'feel passionate' for as long as the surrogate is in their system. But the stimulation will ultimately subside then collapse, and the addict will seek them again." -Dr. Ty Erickson
Passion separates man from the rest of earth's creatures. We seek to find and express a meaning in life.
What do you really want? If you don't know what you want, you won't know which passion to feed.
Is everything you are currently doing in your life an aim to fulfill the expectations of others... your parents, your religion, society, and your family? Consider the future consequences that could incur should your lack of passion for your great life persist.
Be sure to look ahead to see if what you want today will lead you to what you will want tomorrow. Dig deep and look at the whole picture. Look at the present and the future. Connect with your Maker. Think about the real purpose of your life. Think about your talents, your gifts. Then decide WHAT YOU WANT. Find out what that is and pursue it with all the passion of your soul.
Passion for your life is showing true gratitude to the One who gave it to you.
Conversations to stimulate passion:
What do you like to do most when nobody knows what you are doing? Is that your passion?
If you could change the world, what would you change?
If you could earn a living at anything you wanted, what would you do?
Do you ever find yourself feeding the wrong passions of life?
Outside of our physical relationship, what passions do we share?
"Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion." -Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Wisdom and Wit
A sense of humor speaks more of being capable of seeing the lighter side of the daily grind and laugh at the curves life can throw at us.
Having this "sense" means you will see the lighter side of a flat tire and the seriousness of a friend's sorrow. It's a balance between wit and wisdom.
An appropriate sense of humor will also never make a person an object of ridicule.
A good sense of humor will keep life in perspective. Someone who is truly wise and witty recognizes that laughter is a gift from God--given to us to lighten our load, not to make light of the journey.
Conversations about determining a sense of wisdom and wit:
Do I take myself too seriously?
Do I inappropriately laugh at the misfortune of others?
Am I able to bring calm to difficult situations with my sense of humor?
Am I ever too silly?
Do I have a sense of perspective that allows me to be wise?
"A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerate the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast the unbearable." -Billy Graham
Financial Responsibility
It isn't money or the lack of money that seems to be the problem in relationships, rather how the money is managed is the real issue: who makes the money and how; how the money is spent and on what; how much is saved; how debt is managed; and how much debt is acceptable?
In a relationship, the most important element that must be added to financial responsibility is communication.
Consider the law of the harvest: preparing the soil, planting the seeds, watering and cultivating, being patient, protecting, harvesting, and then storing.
Preparing the soil= get educated, get smart, go to school, get trained, learn.
Planting the seeds= go to work, launch your career, start your business.
Watering and cultivating= work hard, work smart, excel and advance, grow your business or career, get smarter.
Being patient= be patient.
Protecting= get insurance, take care of your health, take care of your assets.
Harvesting= get paid, collect your salary, realize a profit.
Storing= save money, create equity, invest, avoid debt.
For a couple to become one , they must come to a consensus on financial issues before they can really feel united in all things. They need to open the lines of communication on financial goals and procedures. The longer they wait to broach this topic, the harder it will be to come to a consensus on how they will handle money matters.
Couples need to communicate with one another their priorities. When couples fail to prioritize, important matters can sometimes get neglected until a crisis occurs.
Without the necessities of life, the other characteristics can dwindle in importance. It can be difficult to achieve your life's dreams without adequate funding.
Conversations on financial responsibility:
Do you feel I am financially responsible?
Describe in detail the house, car, and lifestyle you expect to achieve in life.
Do you consider yourself to be frugal or a spendthrift?
Under what circumstances do you think debt is acceptable?
Is there anything I do that sabotages our financial success?
Do you consider yourself a hard worker?
"Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving." -Dan Millman
Defined- Regular church attendance. Adherence to specific religious codes of conduct and belief. Service to fellow men. Gratitude... etc.
Too often people measure their spirituality by checking off compliance to a list of rules and commandments.
"We stand at the crossroads, each minute, each hour, each day, making choices. We choose the thoughts we allow ourselves to think, the passions we allow ourselves to feel, and the actions we allow ourselves to perform. Each choice is made in the context of whatever value system we've selected to govern our lives. In selecting that value system, we are, in a very real way, making the most important choice we will ever make.
Those who believe there is one God who made all things and who governs the world by His Providence will make many choices different from those who do not. Those who hold in reverence that Being who gave them life and worship Him through adoration, prayer, and thanksgiving will make many choices different from those who do not. Those who believe that mankind are all of a family and that the most acceptable service of God is doing good to man will make many choices different from those who do not. Those who believe in a future state in which all that is wrong here will be made right will make many choices different from those who do not. Those who subscribe to the morals of Jesus will make many choices different from those who do not.
Since the foundation of all happiness is thinking rightly, and since correct action is dependent on correct opinion, we cannot be too careful in choosing the value system we allow to govern our thoughts and actions.
And to know that God governs in the affairs of men, that he hears and answers prayers, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, is indeed, a powerful regulator of human conduct."
-Benjamin Franklin
Even though spirituality may be an individual matter it becomes a greater part of life when it is shared in a relationship.
Conversations on Spirituality:
Do you believe in God?
How do you feel when you think of Him?
Does your belief play an active role in your life and decisions?
Do you plan on teaching your children your beliefs?
Do you think having similar beliefs is important in a close relationship?
Extraordinary and Unique
"You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear." -Author Unknown
A representation of one thing that makes you special, and especially interesting to another person who is attracted to your distinctive quality or qualities.
What makes ME extraordinary or unique? What would I want it to be?
Develop and nurture the talents and abilities that make me stand out. Work to be the best ME possible.
A specific person will most likely single out only one thing they find to be especially attractive about you. Your talent or ability or gift is what causes that person to take a second look.
A person may very well be drawn to your unique and extraordinary gift because their goals in life may be similar to yours. Your unique talents and virtues will help them to feel that the both of you could be happy together pursuing the same ambitions and dreams. Your responsibility is to keep these talents and virtues healthy and thriving. Do not fail to tend and nourish the abilities or characteristics that created the mutual attraction in the first place. When such things are allowed to die or stray from the forefront, it may be perceived that these attributes were not real and was merely used as a lure to encourage the relationship.
When you neglect or fail to nurture the intriguing facets of your personality, it could take some of the wow out of a marriage or relationship, leading to feelings of resentment and regret. Couples should work together to keep their dreams alive.
Develop the best talents and attributes that you can.
Even though your talents and abilities; your gifts and virtues may be highly appreciated and loved, it does not necessarily have to be the same for both parties to enjoy the exhilaration of this characteristic. A continued interest in your partner's gifts will assure that their talent will have a place to grow and flourish.
Compatible and harmonizing talents/gifts are important.
Conversations on extraordinary uniqueness:
What do you think your gift is?
What do you think my gift is?
Am I taking proper care of my gifts?
Do I have more than one gift?
Do you think I sufficiently appreciate and support your gifts and talents?
"Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... WOW! What a ride!" -Author Unknown
"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."
"Our whole life is an attempt to discover when our spontaneity is whimsical, sentimental irresponsibility and when it is a valid expression of our deepest desires and values."
-Helen Merrell Lynd
Romance and Intimacy
"Romantic love reaches out in little ways, showing attention and admiration. Romantic love remembers what pleases... what excites... and what surprises... Its actions whisper: You are the most special person in my life." -Charles Stanley
Even though all the other characteristics discussed here are important, this is the one that makes him yours and you his--exclusively.
It isn't just about gathering these characteristics into one person--filling a grocery list of desired attributes. It is also about sweeping someone off their feet--making them feel special--making them feel truly loved and cherished. This is the characteristic that ultimately must be accepted before the relationship can really take off.
Romance and intimacy are not synonymous. But they do go hand in hand, with romance leading the way.
Romance= the emotional aspects of togetherness; anything that stirs the heart to feelings of affection and longing; spontaneous acts of kindness, being sensitive to each other's needs, generosity, making time for each other
Intimacy= the physical closeness of a couple; a wonderful celebration of all the tender moments preceding it
Don't try to skip romance and go straight to intimacy, doing so misses the whole point of a relationship.
True intimacy between a man and a woman begins in the heart--and romantic behavior is the manifestation of those feelings.
Romance shouldn't be missed or neglected.
"Libido or sexual desire is a large component in the complex experience of intimate relationships. The response, however, is very different between men and women. Men tend to be more hormone-driven and interested in getting straight to intimacy. Women, on the other hand, seem to have the need for what I call the seven T's for romance:
1. Talk
2. Time
3. Touch
4. Tenderness
5. Timing
6. Trust
7. Testosterone
Women, like men, require testosterone to initiate a drive toward intimacy. Women however have a significantly smaller amount of this hormone, making romance, or the six other T's, much more important to them on both an emotional and a physical level. Failure to recognize these differences can create frustration where there should be fulfillment." -Dr. Mark Dowdle
Romance is the key. Romance is the fuel for the fire of intimacy. When romance wanes, intimacy can become just another obligation--a task to cross off our to do list. When romance is ignored, couples are much more easily lured by the siren song of infidelity, which almost always snuffs out whatever flame might have remained in their intimate relationship.
Don't underestimate the importance of romance in a relationship, especially after marriage. Romance keeps your love alive and will help keep the feelings and desire for intimacy as special as before.
Author's list of some of her favorite acts of romance:
My own pet name, meant for me and no one else.
A foot rub without expecting one back.
A love note in grease pencil on my mirror.
Finding my favorite candy under my pillow.
Our own date, just you and me, a table set for only two.
Seeing you stand on the porch waving good-bye until my taillights have faded.
Sitting next to me in church, holding my hand, with our children on either side of us.
A midnight kiss on New Year's Eve and every night after that.
Live for each other. Live exclusively for each other--becoming one.
Conversations on romance and intimacy:
Do you consider me to be romantic?
What do you find romantic?
How do you feel about "wandering eyes" in a relationship?
What do the words tenderness and sensitivity mean to you?
Do you think we make enough quality time for real intimacy?
"What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labour, to minister to each other in all sorrow, to share with each other in all gladness, to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories?" -George Eliot
"True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." -Jason Jordan
Considerate and Kind
"Your greatness is measured by your kindness; your education and intellect by your modesty; your ignorance by your suspicions and prejudices, and your real caliber is measured by the consideration you have for others." -Olin Miller
Daily thoughtfulness, kindness, and consideration between a couple make the roads smooth, the choppy seas calm, and the difficult times seem less difficult.
Being considerate is all about putting the needs and wants of others in a position of significant priority. The opportunity to show daily acts of selfless consideration can bring the greatest long-term joy.
The Platinum Rule: Treat others as they would WANT to be treated.
Your responsibility then is to determine what the other person really wants. No longer can you passively do unto others according to how you see it. You really need to connect with that person and be considerate of THEIR innermost thoughts and desires in order to most effectively "do unto" them.
Considerate= An act of Love; gives comfort and solace, unselfishness, listens and responds and communicates appropriately, humble, forgiving, gives thoughtful gifts, empathizes, even-tempered, seeks self-improvement
The more we love someone the easier it is to know what they want and need.
Conversations about being considerate:
What is the most considerate act you feel I ever did for you?
Is there anything I do you find to be inconsiderate?
Which of the above characteristics of being considerate am I lacking?
Do I do anything that irritates you? How would you like me to change?
If I could do anything for you right now, what would it be?
"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost." -Arthur Ashe
"Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end." -Scott Adams
Avoid Addictions. They and their consequences are painful and often catastrophic. Relationships and sometimes even live hang in the balance of the persistent spread of addiction and irresponsible behavior. If you have an addiction; drugs, alcohol, infidelity, pornography, gambling--get help--starve it, shoot it, get rid it any way you can.
The gift of one's best self is the noblest gift one can offer another person.
The fear and sometimes even casual acceptance of inevitable failure are robbing modern-day Johnnys and Mahanas of the will to pursue anything beyond steady dating. Many people, particularly those still reeling from the pain of a failed marriage, doubt that another person can be trusted to bring these character traits to a long-term relationship. But if we could make this principle of individual character an easy topic to discuss and then do something about, it might allow potential partners to believe that a lasting relationship is actually possible.
If you truly want to find an eight-cow partner, having eight cows of your own to bring to the relationship will make that possible. Having all your own cows in readiness will give you the confidence to pursue a serious relationship with an attitude of hope and optimism rather than one of fear and pessimism.
Possessing individual character has been championed as one of the most worthwhile pursuits of men and women. Many philosophies teach that such a pursuit is important because your character may be the only thing you can take with you into the next life, as well as our relationships.
How to actually go about getting these character traits: a strong desire, serious honesty; observing the lives of great men and women--the things they have done and the behavior they have demonstrated. Know what you need to do to become a person of good character. It's a matter of the spiritual man overcoming or dominating the natural man and his tendencies.
Some people describe the process of obtaining character as an arduous task requiring great thought and introspection. But its not that complicated. To gain character, it may be as simple as engaging in the regular exercise of choosing conscience over will. Follow your conscience and build the muscles of your character.
I took more notes than I thought I would on this one! I LOVED this book!
