In part one of this discussion on living positively, we spoke about four reasons why as Christians God has made it possible for us to live a certain kind of lifestyle.
We will continue with this line of thought as we conclude this discussion with three more reasons why we should live positive lives.
As a Christian it is possible to live a life without condemnation, a life without domination or desperation, and a life without miscalculation. It is also possible for a Christian to live a life without intimidation.
In the Book of Romans 8 verse 31 in the New Testament (NT) of the Bible it says: "What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
God says, "I will protect you". He's saying, "One plus God equals the majority".
It doesn't matter who's against you if God's on your side. He wants you to succeed. God is for you, and that's good news! I think Christians, of all people, ought to be the most confident people in the world. If God is for me, who can be against me?
Fear is a devastating emotion, and psychologists have analyzed 645 different kinds of fears. The question is, what do you fear most?
Do you fear failure, do you fear the future, rejection, criticism or maybe you fear dying. The Book of Hebrews in the New Testament, chapter 13:6 says, "So we can say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'"
Also in Romans 8:37 it says, "Knowing all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
"More than conquerors" literally in Greek means "super-conquerors".
God makes us super-conquerors. In life, you will either be a victor or a victim. You will be swallowed up by your circumstances or you will overcome your circumstances. You will be overwhelmed by your problems or you will overcome your problems. The fact is, I don't have to fear anything. I keep my eye on the Lord Jesus Christ. God never intended for any human being to be a victim. You can be a victor. God purposed for you to be a victor.
My question is: What have you been telling yourself that you could never do? Whatever it is, stop it! Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." That's what you call a life without intimidation. You're not blown away by the circumstances. And you're not blown away by the problems. You've got the confidence that comes from God. Don't be intimidated by life's circumstances. This leads on to our next point. As a Christian, it is possible for me to live …
A life without limitations: Romans 8 verse 32 says, "Since he did not spare even his own Son for us, but gave him up for us all, won't he also surely give us everything else?"
When God sent Jesus Christ to die for you on the cross, He solved your biggest problem: sin! Everything else is minor by comparison. The verse here says, if God loves you enough to send Jesus Christ to die for you, don't you think He loves you enough to help you in any circumstance you're facing? Be it your bills, problems with your children, etc?
If God paid the ultimate sacrifice by sending Jesus, everything else is insignificant. The truth is, God will meet all your needs. Many find that difficult to believe, but God will meet all your needs! They may be emotional. They may be social. They may be financial or spiritual. Or they may be physical. God wants to meet your needs. He's promised it over and over again in Scripture.
The Book of Philippians 4:19 says: "My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory."
And in verse 13 of the same chapter, God promises all the strength you need! Psalms 84:11 says: "No good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly."
God wants to bless your life. The Bible teaches that God is a giver. In fact, everything you have is a gift from God. Many may not agree with it but the truth is he created you, gave you your abilities, talents and intellect. If God were not a giver, you would not even be here. Neither would I.
The Book of Romans chapter 8 tells us what God has done for us and what He's made possible. None of us could repay the things He has done for us - A life without limitation! God will take care of your needs.
Our last point is, as a Christian, it is possible to live …
A life without separation. Romans 8 v.35-39 says, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ. Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword. No, in all these things, we're more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither heights nor depths, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
If you grasp this truth it will revolutionise your life. For those of you who are Christians, you are in Christ. You've made your commitment to Christ. Nothing can ever destroy your relationship to God. What good news is that? God will never leave you alone. The truth is nothing will ever make God stop loving you! You are in Christ. You are eternally secure in Him. Once you commit your life to Jesus Christ, God assumes the responsibility to make you make it to heaven. You don't have to wonder, "Am I going to make it? Am I going to lose my salvation?"
Jude 24 says, "He is able to keep you from falling." It doesn't depend on you. It depends on God. What we've committed to Him, He is able to keep unto that day. It doesn't say He's able to keep you from failing. You will make mistakes. You will sin. You will stumble. But God won't let go!
Jesus said it like this, "I know my sheep. I know those who follow me. They hear my voice and they are in My hand, and no man can snatch them out of my hand."
Nothing can separate me from God once I've made that initial commitment to Him. What a comfort, knowing that no matter what circumstance I face in the future, I will not face it alone. God is with me.
Now, let's recap on the seven wonderful privileges that God makes available to us in Jesus Christ. In Christ, we believers can live a life without condemnation, without domination, without desperation, a life without miscalculation, without intimidation or limitation and a life without separation.
What should be my response? If you're already a believer, a Christian, the Book of Ephesians 4.1 says, "Live and act in a way worthy of those who have been chosen for such wonderful blessings as these."
For one thing, I think you ought to say, "God, forgive me for ever being negative. Take the critical, negative spirit out of my life."
Regardless of what's going on in the world, you need to look at the wonderful things God has done for you. You ought to be positive. You ought to be optimistic. You know you are going to win in the end. You are going to make it because it doesn't depend on you, but God. That ought to cause us to be deeper and more dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you've never opened up your life to Christ, I encourage you to do so today. The Book of 1John 5 in the NT says, "Real life is to be found only in God's Son. Anyone who has Christ has this life but if he doesn't have Christ, then he does not possess this life at all."
You have everything to gain. Don't wait. Some of you have been thinking about making your decision for months, for years. Don't put it off any longer.
God wants to give you the kind of life where you have a continual relationship with Him that can never be destroyed. Are you worried that your needs won't be met? Put your life in the hands of Jesus Christ. The good, the bad, every part of it and He will assume responsibility for your needs.
God loves you so much. He is for you! And He made you to love you, the Bible says. He has a plan for your life. The more you put your life into His plan, the better it gets.
Enjoy your weekend and keep safe.
Pastor Tevai Matapo,

The Greyhounds fell behind at the half after giving up 10 first-half three-pointers and then ran out of time in a second-half comeback, falling 87-83 to SAU Tech in Camden, Arkansas.
After leading early, the Greyhounds saw the Rockets go on a hot streak from the arc to build a 53-43 halftime lead. The Greyhounds then limited SAU Tech (11-7) to only 34 second-half points but just couldn't finish the comeback as time expired.
ASU Mid-South (10-4) shot a solid 47% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point line while connecting on 81% of their free throws and outrebounding the Rockets 42-34. However, between SAU Tech hitting 13 three-pointers for the game and scoring 28 points off 24 Greyhound turnovers, the home team grabbed the victory.
Ike Moore led the Dogs with 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting while Jalen Lynn, Jalen Sasser and Christian White scored 13 points each. White completed the double-double with a game-high 10 rebounds, and Shaheed Halk scored 12 points to go with a game-high 7 assists and 4 steals.
The Greyhounds return to The Dog House Monday for their first home game in 2019 as they host Itawamba Community College who defeated the Greyhounds 72-69 on November 29. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:00pm.

Successful companies should be prepared for other companies to approach them to seek a strategic merger or a complete acquisition. For younger enterprises, this may be unexpected and perhaps even a bit jarring. Even though the news is always full of stories about high value mergers and acquisitions, plenty of entrepreneurs do not fully grasp everything that such a deal entails. After all, although these kinds of deals are becoming increasingly common, they also tend to be rather complicated. And, for many people, going through a deal like this is something that they only experience once or twice during their careers, so there is understandable confusion surrounding the process. Here are the key things that everyone should know about mergers and acquisitions:
Reasons they Happen
There are large companies that scoop up other companies for all sorts of reasons. In some cases, they are seeking to add to their existing infrastructure and there is a company that is already fulfilling a certain niche. In other situations, a company is looking to eliminate the competition and so they absorb existing competitors into their business. And, sometimes a company is impressed with another company's product or team, wants to be a part of it, and has the resources to really make it soar.
Granted, there are times when the company looking to buy does not have the best of intentions, but a company that is approached should not assume that there is some shady ulterior motive. There are often strategic advantages underlying a company's decision to seek a merger or acquisition, and in many instances, both companies can benefit enormously from the deal. If your company feels uncertain about an interested party, the best course of action is to ask a lot of questions and conduct your own investigation to determine whether it is a company with which you would be interested in working.
Due Diligence
Just because a company shows interest in merging with or acquiring your company does not mean that it will actually come to fruition. A lot of companies identify possible targets and begin the negotiation process, but then once they begin the compulsory due diligence investigation, they may learn things that make them walk away from the table. If your company is interested in seeing a deal like this through to the end, then you have to do your homework and ensure your affairs are in order before allowing the prospective purchaser to begin poking around.
For anyone not familiar with the purpose and scope of a due diligence investigation, you may want to check out an example of a due diligence checklist so you can determine whether you have copies of the requisite documents and records. Even if your team does not have experience with the whole ordeal, the main way to ensure that things go smoothly is to stay organized. Then, as the team leading the process provides guidance, you can easily furnish the items that they request.
Everyone gets caught up in valuation, even though a fraction of those individuals can probably explain what all goes into coming up with that abstruse number. There may not be one specific formula applicable in all situations, but there are some general themes that will guide how to arrive at the right value. In general, investors will examine a lot of different factors, some of which are concrete and based on cold hard facts and figures and other analyses that are more speculative in nature.
For example, valuation often takes into consideration the state of the pertinent industry, the strength and reputation of the company's leadership team, the company's traction in the relevant market, financial performance to date, and anticipated revenues in the immediate future based on the existing revenue streams. Ultimately, understanding valuation is not as important as realizing that the value assigned is not the most important metric, as there are so many financial issues at stake.
The Aftermath
There is a common myth that once a larger company merges with or takes over a smaller company that a lot of the people who were a part of the smaller operation will be left out in the cold. Although downsizing and massive layoffs may occur, sometimes retaining the existing personnel can be a part of the negotiations. Rather than fixate on the financial aspects of a prospective deal, companies should ensure that they know exactly what will happen subsequent to the closing and that any special terms or conditions are in writing.
Mergers and acquisitions are fairly routine transactions, but that does not mean that they all proceed in the same manner. Any company that is contemplating an offer has to consider a number of competing factors to ensure that it is the right move for the business. Thus, understanding the deal and everything it brings along with it is imperative or both parties risk wasting a lot of time and money.

Suggestions For Your Prayers…
- Ask for God's merciful direction of those who govern our nation and for political parties to be drawn to principles and goals that will genuinely be for the benefit of our society in accordance with God's ways
- God's provision and protection of biblically faithful ministry at all levels of church life and witness. For all who are in mission situations to know they are not alone especially in the face of persecution or overwhelming need
- For the individuals whose choice of words and actions are so critical for the conduct of international relations. Pray that God would make them attentive to wise advisers and grant discernment to see the path to peace and reconciliation along with courage and boldness to bring them about
- For those in authority and individuals coping with the continuing impact of earthquakes in Mexico; hurricanes in the Caribbean and USA; tens of thousands of children with cholera in Yemen; the ongoing flow of migrants, including the Rohingya fleeing Myanmar to Bangladesh
- Pray for those carrying responsibility during these important early stages of establishing effective management and a strong ethos at the Primary School
- Those recovering after time in hospital or receiving treatment. For any who feel their strength is failing that they would lean on God. For all who are giving medical or care support to do so with discernment and sensitivity
- For bereaved Christians, as they remember loved ones, that God would grant them comfort through confidence in his promises
- The PCC developing our Mission Action Plan and considering important questions of how to honour God in accordance with his word, using the gifts and resources he has given us
Know Christ and Make Him Known

New Delhi. "My life, my wifi, my voice, my choice"; this may sound like a liberalist haiku posted by some liberal poet on twitter. But it is actually a text from a policy change referendum submitted by students of Jayantilal Nendram University (JANEU) to their management, today morning.
A group of 35 students also staged a red-flag march in front of Chief Proctor's office and demanded immediate implementation of their referendum. They threatened to disrupt one lecture and one lab every hour until their demands are not met. They also threatened to cut-off electricity and water supply to the whole campus if their demands are not met in the next 16 hours.
Student leader and final year political science student Praneet Sadachaari wrote the following post on Facebook, "Ever since we students have seen that black & white "vague" video, we have understood that #MyChoice is something which frees us beyond the tangles of societal constraints. The video teaches us a lot. Foe e.g. black and white coloring in the video teaches us the importance of simplicity. Gushes of wind throughout the video teach us that life is fickle and we can be blown away just about anytime now. When our life is so simple and fickle all we have is our choice. Hence #MyChoice is essential for our learning and growth as students & as individuals. Consequently we demand that #MyChoice be the part of every activity on campus."
Some of the key demands of the referendum, as published on JANEU student website are:
- Every exam in the university from now on should be conducted in a Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) format
- Each MCQ question should include an option called #MyChoice
- In case a candidate selects #MyChoice option as her answer that question should either be marked right or be left out of the marking scheme as a Pro-Bono question. In any situation #MyChoice answer CANNOT be marked wrong
- Among other things, all the food-items in the university canteen should have two price tags from now on, normal price and "#MyChoice price"
- "#MyChoice price" can be anything students wish to pay. If any food item is particularly bad, students may choose not to pay or even ask vendor instead to pay students some money for consuming bad food
While JANEU management did not respond to an email we sent to them for comments, Praneet further clarified future plans of the student body in a followup FB Post, "Management may choose not to implement our demands. That is "their choice" and we would respect that too. But then we would start to make some other choices which they won't be able to respect."

In the recording there were some confusions of spelling, etc. "The Clamp of Turf" is a distinct tune in itself. "The Graf Spey" was given as "The Gras Spey". "Lord McDonald's Reel" was given as "John McNeill's Reel". "McMahon's Reel" is "The Banshee". "Listowel Lasses" is also known as "The Glass of Beer".
Track 9, the second jig, was listed simply as "Sean Ryan's", but is his tune "Dooney Rock".
The Bridge Céilí Band
I have some of these tracks included on one of those cheap CD releases of céilí bands. On track 11, Coleman's is Dick Sherlock's reel.
Thanks Paddy… I've given it that name so the link is true… I've been slowly checking tunes against what's here and missed a few, but Dow has caught me out and righted me on another Sean Ryan tune…

"Gerry on the Bridge" is the name they've given for that well known reel "Jenny's Wedding"… They do a nice job of it. I may transcribe it for the 'Comments'…
This is a great old recording, I wish they'd re-release it for the pleasure of many others…
Extra tunes
Just yesterday I was given a copy of this LP in Australia, burnt onto CD by a very kind member of the band. My copy of the LP has the sixth track as:
Nine Points of Roguery, Swinging on the Gate, Toss the Feathers (in Edor) and the Oak Tree.
some great playing!
I've suggested to Jeremy that there be some way we can 'correct' or update information… I should have been listening to the tracks and not just going by the list on the jacket, I should know better…
Wouldn't you know it, I did listen to them all during this submission but somehow missed that one… I use headphones with the computer and had probably stepped out for coffee… 😏

In a bid to further beautify the Ekiti State University environment and create green areas on campus, the Botanical Society of Nigeria (BOSON) has donated three thousand (3,000) stands of Teak Seedlings to the University.
Prof. Joshua Kayode of the EKSU Faculty of Science who facilitated the donation said the seedlings were the first of the batches of such expected from (BOSON). In his words: "they are for the development of the horticultural beautification of EKSU". The seedlings were formally presented to Vice-Chancellor, Professor Samuel Oye Bandele by the Head of Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Dr. Sunday Arowosegbe who reiterated the society's commitment to a greener EKSU.
Receiving the seedlings, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Samuel Oye Bandele noted that the donation would go a long way in contributing to the beautification of EKSU as well as enrich the green areas on campus.
The Vice-Chancellor commended the Botanical Society of Nigeria and Professor Joshua Kayode for their contribution to the development of the University, particularly in the area of what he called "Green Revolution".
Professor Bandele urged other members of staff to emulate Professor Kayode in contributing positively to the development of the University. He implored Professor Kayode to make sure that the Plant Science Department of the University nurtures the seedlings as a way of consolidating the efforts of BOSON.

Many tiny or new corporations select to tackle their bookkeeping services responsibilities by themselves, and whilst this could work out if a workers member or lover is expert in bookkeeping and accounting, it might be a shortsighted conclusion. Outsourcing accounting expert services is definitely an expenditure, but when these responsibilities are looked after by pros who specialise in these spots, it could possibly really result in price savings over the long term. Dealing with Australian tax troubles and retaining records in the event that an audit ended up to be needed are merely two solutions that may make accounting outsourcing a intelligent transfer in the Melbourne region. But there are many other motives to look at choosing an outside provider to deal with your business's books.
Certainly one of the most effective motives to rent specialists to take care of bookkeeping companies is so as to consider your enterprise and anything you do ideal. For anyone who is not hung up trying to reconcile your accounts, you then are totally free to concentrate on your marriage with buyers or consumers, or otherwise focus your energies around the products and solutions or companies that you just went into organization for to start with. An additional basis for outsourcing your textbooks is that it is a great deal of a lot easier than it used to be. Although quite a few bookkeepers Melbourne features are completely willing to talk in individual, by fax, or by courier, the vast majority of interaction and correspondence can be done electronically more than a secure link, significantly cutting the time required to acquire and post pertinent data and creating it less complicated for your accountants to deliver their products and services for you.
Not surprisingly, the bookkeeper Melbourne organizations have to have for outsourcing their accounting prices considerably less than selecting a full-time accountant for your business. You shell out for your products and services without the need to fret about coaching, office house, as well as like. As well as in lots of instances it is possible to hire products and services with a month to month basis, to deal with payroll, accounts payable and receivable, PAYG, GST, BAS returns, budgeting, and money stream monitoring. For start-ups and little businesses, it may be incredibly tempting to test to deal with accounting services in-house, for the reason that it really is vital that you keep expenses in line when you might be wanting to get your enterprise off the ground. And lots of Australians feel that due to the fact these are great at handling their family's finances, they will choose care of their business's textbooks in addition, but this isn't essentially legitimate.
Accounting regulations, tax legislation, and document demands appear to generally be in the condition of flux, and it will take a bookkeeping experienced to stay along with the newest prerequisites, and the very best application and strategies for preserving organization publications. A whole lot of latest business people are unsuccessful to know the value in their time, and consider they are able to squeeze within the bookkeeping duties among the numerous other duties they may have. This shortchanges the company and eats up lots of your time, significantly for individuals who are usually not aware of today's accounting application. The bookkeeping companies Melbourne organizations want are offered nowadays at extremely fair rates. By outsourcing your accounting and bookkeeping, you assure your business' monetary data are in order, are compliant, and are not preserving you within the major focus within your small business.

If one idea needs to be injected into this latest round of Save The Labor Party, it is probably this: stop trying to be the Liberal Party, writes Jonathan Green.
Party president Jenny McAllister says the ALP's senate preselection process is broken.
Party elder John Faulkner wants the job done by the rank and file.
Party Leader Bill Shorten wants non-unionists to be free to join a "modernised" ALP.
Party luminaries Steve Bracks and Bob Carr probably agree with Faulkner, because they all wrote a book on this.
After last weekend's Western Australia Senate vote, a plunge in ALP fortunes that resulted in the party polling just 6 per cent better than the ostentatiously marginal Greens, Labor has reverted to the one thing it does even better than self-destructive internal knife-fighting: yes, earnest, wrinkle-browed introspection on the limitless topic of party reform.
Various formulae will be advanced, all with differing degrees of complexity and ruthless self-criticism, and if past behaviour is any guide, most will be welcomed as vital ingredients to the party's urgent and necessary rejuvenation. And then they will be ignored ... assiduously ... as the status quo of vested self-interest rouses itself, rolls over, farts loudly and crushes all hope of change.
It could be made simpler. And probably should be, for make no mistake the ALP is dicing with irrelevance and death here.
Death, just by the bye, might be the best option in terms of the future health of Australian progressive politics, a pursuit not contingent on the existence of the ALP, and one that after all these years of Labor's drift toward a failing combination of vicious introspection, pointless power mongering and the ideologically anodyne centre-Right, might actually be the healthier for its absence.
But that said, if one idea needs to be injected into this latest round of Save The Labor Party, it is probably this: STOP TRYING TO BE THE LIBERAL PARTY.
Differentiation, that might be useful, and quite possibly a more electorally advantageous technique than the ALP's current obsession with the fiercely contested middle ground. A middle ground that has shifted continually to the Right, probably since the ALP embraced the sort of free market reform that even Malcolm Fraser and John Howard were leery of in the late '70s.
Modern, professional politics sucks you to the centre of course, and its great trough of apathy, self-interest and indecision ... marginal campaigning by any other name, and it's there the ALP has pitched its tent, losing rough ideological edges along the way, playing a losing game of political indistinguishability with a foe for whom this is far more natural territory.
Migration policy is an obvious example of Labor arguing that white is black, or red is blue, that really, if you close your eyes, we are them. All part of removing the points of difference: a strange tactic when at the end of the day you are asking voters to make a choice.
On climate change it's been much the same. Keen to make a difference when even John Howard was offering a carbon trading scheme, and then so shy of making waves the ALP has compromised, deferred and buckled, finally dragged to action by opportunism.
On the economy ... well that's peas in a pod, the parameters of the allowed conversation tightly defined around surplus good, debt bad and please don't mention tax.
Labor is so close to being Liberal light it clearly strains the capacity for brand recognition out there among the general public.
And the personnel don't help.
The lesson from Joe Bullock's elevation to the top of Labor's WA Senate ticket is not one of union manipulation of the preselection process. That's only a bad thing because unions are as bankrupt an institution as our major political parties, too lost in graft and self-importance to offer much beyond a gravy train to influence for a chosen few.
No, the real issue with Bullock is that a man of his convictions could have a place in a party at least nominally wedded to the idea of being the country's socially progressive choice.
How does that make any kind of sense, unless the party he has been elected to represent has so lost its core of principles it can simultaneously accommodate a conviction for social equity alongside man's inalienable right to slag off at what's-her-name the lesbian with thingy the sex-change partner.
That sort of easy coexistence simply doesn't make any kind of sense, unless it's in a party that has traded its soul and core of belief in a desperate struggle to mimic what it sees as the most successful political traits of its opponents.
The home truth for the ALP is probably not to be found in the qualifications it sets for membership, or in the way it juggles its preselections. It's more likely to be unearthed in an almost archaeological pursuit of principles.
They might even develop a few challenging ideological angularities, the sort of thing that might convince voters sleepwalking through the dull conformity of modern political choice that at long last, they had one.

4 Simple Ways To Get Real Analysis Homework Solutions
Real analysis homework should not be a hindrance to your best performance in Mathematics. If this has previously been a hard task, it is now a high time to achieve your first success. All you need to do is to cohere to the following four simple ways.
Get professional solvers
There are multiple sites specifically on the internet which specialize in handling any kind of Math aid with inclusion of real analysis. Nevertheless, you should note that these are people who provide their services at a fee. By reaching a common agreement, you will be certain of being presented with a perfectly done work. In order to know a competent writer, you can ask around, for example, your friends and other colleague students that have worked with them before.
Joining a working discussion group
Ask about it and you will be surprised to find out that most of the students who perform excellently in their class work are members of at least one discussion group. They also employ the assignments as their foundation platforms that ultimately improve their general performance. Although this has multiple upsides, you should be keen to make a distinction between a serious and active group and those that are dormant. The former is recommended for you and you should not at any point join a group which is entirely for jokers.
Institutional websites
Most universities and other institutions of higher studies prefer posting their assignment samples on their official websites. Therefore, by logging into such sites, you will be able to access correct responses and learn how to approach different questions. Most of these sites are freely accessible to students and therefore, you do not need to pay anything. You can visit as multiple sites as you can and compare the information. Sample out only the answers which are correct and use them to respond to the questions.
Friends and colleague students
These are important people in our lives. In such a case where you need aid, you can simply ask them where they get their help when it comes to dealing with real analysis assignments. Most of them will provide you with valid answers which you can employ and secure your own assistance. Good friends will also give you contacts of professional writers and writing companies so that you can get in touch with them. Furthermore, some of them who might be having appropriate responses might take the initiative of presenting them to you.
Get your homework done

Hi Y'all, I have been waiting almost four years to write this post, and it feels great to finally be in the market for an original AR-10! When I first got interested in this topic because of my awesome modern AR-10, I was a law student and my wife and I couldn't afford for me to get an original. Two years ago, I started writing a book on the topic, and my wife told me that if, and only if, it gets published, can I start collecting original AR-10s. Well, Collector Grade Publications signed me and my book is now in print, so I am finally in the market for one I am hoping to get a Portuguese first, but would change that plan if someone were willing to sell me a great-condition Sudanese or Guatemalan, as my end goal is to have one of each of these two variants (I consider Sudanese and Guatemalan interchangeable, because only the flash hider and barrel shroud differ at all). I don't see it as a reasonable possibility of acquiring a Cuban, KLM, Transitional Carbine, Hollywood, Costa Mesa (there's only one of them ever made), Finnish (any of the three variants); and neither of the Transitional variants nor the AR-102 Sporter really appeal to me much, not to say that I wouldn't consider one if it were available! I am only interested in one of these rifles on a semi-auto lower so I don't have to deal with the hassle of a Class III or submit to periodic ATF inspections, and among those, the lower receivers I would consider are, in order of preference: (1) a Boyd Hahn (Hahn Machine Co.) rewelded original lower; (2) Sendra Corp. aluminum (not the steel ones they made); (3) Telko; and (4) Specialty Arms. Any of these would be perfectly acceptable to me, although I of course put a premium on a rewelded original lower, as most collectors also do. I am not really interested in a CKA, H&H, or PAC lower, although I hear they also can be good. Aside from the Hahn reweld, which just looks like an original lower with the full-auto sear pin hole filled in, here are pictures from my book of the other lowers in which I have interest: Basically, if you have an AR-10 like this with which you would be willing to part at a good price, please let me know! Finally, I also really need a grenade ladder sight for the Second Transitional/Portuguese. My contacts have been able to help me collect the entire issue kit for both the Sudanese/Guatemalan and the Portuguese (full magazine loadout, blank-firing adapter, automatic fire stop, magazine charger, correct sling, new-condition bayonets, etc.), except for that one part. If anybody has one of those, I would very much like to buy it off you! Here are a few pictures from the book of how it looks: Thanks again, folks, for helping me make my AR-10 dream a reality

One Year Anniversary
April 3rd, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments
Wow, I can't really believe it.
I've been working at my job for one year now (as of the 1st April). That's actually quite scarey – what have I done and achieved in that year? And where did all my wages go?
Oh well, plenty more where that one came from!

Freedom hangs in the balance now that the seeds of socialism have been sown with the younger generation…
Republicans could have a winning strategy for next year's all-important elections as well as a legitimate chance of retaking the House Of Representatives.
With the White House and the fate of the republic hanging in the balance and Democrats calling for the imposition of socialism on the nation, it cannot be overstated that 2020 will be the most critical election in American history.
Driven mad by Trump Derangement Syndrome and transformed into an angry mob led by Bernie Sanders and a 29-year-old bartender, the Democrats have degenerated into the barbarians at the gates and unless they are thoroughly crushed, the future looks bleak.
But despite the media dominance that allows them to promote their dangerous ideology, the party's ideas are political poison to the vast majority of the country – the areas that are sneered at and mocked by the coastal elitists and their celebrity mouthpieces who would force their views on voters living in areas that they derisively refer to as the "flyover states" who they despise.
However, the vast majority of Americans who live there despise them as well and hate their radicalism even more.
To take advantage of the loathing for the left, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has tipped his hand at the GOP's plans and that is to make the election into a "referendum" on socialism.
McConnell calls for making 2020 election "referendum on socialism" https://t.co/kZ6tuIA0AL pic.twitter.com/jJKPFaFlYl
— The Hill (@thehill) April 11, 2019
Via The Hill, "GOP leader on 2020: We need a 'referendum on socialism'":
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday said he wants to make the 2020 presidential and Senate elections a "referendum on socialism" by pinning down Democrats on proposals like "Medicare for all" and the Green New Deal.
"We need to have a referendum on socialism," McConnell told a group of reporters when asked for his assessment of next year's elections, when Senate Republicans will have to defend 22 seats, compared with12 for Democrats.
"I'm going to be arguing, and I'm encouraging my colleagues to argue, that we are the firewall against socialism in this country," McConnell added.
He said Republicans need to make the case to the American people, "if you're uncomfortable with things like the Green New Deal and Medicare for none, the best way to avoid that is to have a Republican Senate."
McConnell predicted that Republicans would have a target-rich environment with at least five Democratic presidential candidates backing Medicare for all legislation and at least six supporting the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-N.Y.) ambitious plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
"We've got five credible candidates for president in the Senate signed up for the Green New Deal and Medicare for none. If we can't make that case, we ought to go into another line of work," he said.
With a year and a half to go until the elections and the Democrats already proposing such lunacy as the elimination of the private health insurance industry, free college tuition, stealing money from white people to pay out reparations to those who have never been slaves and more, they are only going to get more extreme to energize their rabid base.
But in doing so, Democrats may be on a suicide mission because, despite the illusion of what's on CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, Facebook and Twitter, rational Americans and those moderates that are neeed to win nationally are horrified at what they have become.
McConnell is really onto something here and it could pay off big time.

Across the United States and in Georgia, the number of small and medium–sized farms is declining and the average age of farmers is on the rise. Although we need new farmers, the barriers would-be farmers face when trying to grow new agricultural businesses from the ground up can be formidable.
One of those barriers, Georgia Organics learned recently, involves financial literacy.
When Georgia Organics evaluated its Farmer to Farmer Mentoring Program after 10 years, a disturbing trend revealed itself. The folks who went through the program and eventually stopped farming all gave up around five years into their farming career.
When we reached out to them to find out what happened, we learned that, while they were trained to grow beautiful produce organically, they weren't trained to run a financially sustainable business. Since that revelation, we knew we couldn't just train beginning farmers on production practices without providing them with the business training needed to ensure that they'll thrive as farmers.
Now, in the latest incarnation of beginning farmer training, business comes first.
The Journeyman Farmer Certificate Program (JFCP) – which is led by the University of Georgia (UGA) and includes partnerships with Fort Valley State University's (FVSU) extension offices, Ag South, the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA), and UGA's Small Business Development Center (SBDC) – begins with a course on Small Business Planning taught by AgSouth and SBDC.
"This area of the course was vital, as many current farmers do not have business plans," said Tenisio Seanima, Georgia Organics farmer services coordinator. "Gardening is a hobby and farming is a business, so having a business plan is essential to managing a farm."
From there, students take a seven-week course in either Small Fruit & Vegetable Production or Small Ruminant Production, which provides an itemized profile of life on a farm to the students. Students learns the basics of farming through a curriculum designed by Georgia Organics, GDA, UGA & FVSU Extension and taught by agents from their respective extension offices.
After understanding the basics of growing small crops or raising small ruminants, qualified students will each be paired with an established farmer to gain hands-on experience.
Students will either enter the internship program, where they spend the greater portion of a work week learning onsite at a select farm; the mentorship program, where they receive technical support from experienced farmer while working at their own personal site; or the incubator, where they will begin developing their own farm business at a host site where the farmer host will guide them towards a future of full farming independence.
"Many farmers don't initially recognize the level of business professionalism one has to have to successfully operate a farm," said Seanima. "Thus, by guiding them down the path of understanding business first, then farming, we suspect that the attrition rate of young farmers will decrease while simultaneously inspiring others to understand the full spectrum of life on a farm."
By the end of 2018, 44 students will have gone through the entire program, including the on-farm education.
The Journeyman Program will be offered over the next two years at multiple locations across the state. Interested in participating? Contact Seanima at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 404-481-5008.

The best of both worlds
UB Concert Band and Genkin Philharmonic shine at Slee Hall
University concert band dress codes don't usually call for vibrant, sequin-infused clothing. Tuesday night was a little different.
The UB Concert Band, led by music department Professor Jon Nelson, shared the stage with Genkin Philharmonic for their annual fall performance at Slee Hall. The two groups came together to present "A Young Person's Guide to the 20th Century."
The philharmonic and UB Concert Band were polar opposites in every sense.
The concert band dressed in seemingly average concert-wear, while the Genkin Philharmonic decked themselves out in colorful floral suit jackets, sequin hats and capes along with cultural attire. The concert band remained poised during the show while the philharmonic electrically performed, rocking through the entirety of the 55-minute performance.
Both groups united to produce coherent and exciting music, despite their visible differences.
Genkin Philharmonic's guitarist and UB alum, Zane Merritt, felt combining their group with the UB Concert Band resulted in effortless success.
"It felt good coming out here. I went to UB and other music schools so it was a familiar feeling," Merritt said. "It was pretty easy incorporating us in and took minimal rehearsal to do the parts and play with everyone else."
The audience's excitement hit its peak during the show's finale –– Jon Nelson's arrangement of Led Zeppelin's classic "Kashmir."
Genkin wind player, Steve Baczkowski, opened the song with his bright attire and even brighter horn playing. Baczkowski clearly got into the performance as he bounced in place and flicked his head around, despite having a baritone saxophone dangling from his neck.
The horn-playing, paired with some enticing hand drumming, caught the scattered crowd's attention.
But the UB Concert Band kept the crowd's eyes and ears to the stage.
Nelson led the student musicians through the majority of the song until its grand finale, but his leadership wasn't just evident in his conducting.
When he stepped off the podium halfway through the song, Nelson joined his students and took on the trumpet. This display was just one of many which proved his musical diversity.
James Quinn, a sophomore international business major, attended the performance to fulfill his concert requirement for his Understanding Music course.
"I heard a few songs I liked, especially the Led Zeppelin one," Quinn said. "It was much better than I anticipated and I shouldn't have had such a negative mindset going into it because it was actually kind of fun."
Arnold Schoenberg's "Sehr langsam" also proved to be a highlight of the night. The piece isn't classic rock, but its varied sections and solos revealed the show's tremendous diversity, keeping the audience on their toes.
The concert band's pianist and Advanced Certificate in Contemporary Music Performance student, Jiheng Tang, showcased her dexterous talent in the piece's minimalist intro and outro. Her delicate playing perfectly setup the piece and closed it in style.
The meat of the piece was just as enjoyable.
The band proved its endurance with held out notes. They tinkered with the act of call-and-response, and in the process, Nelson displayed his range of musicality again.
He hopped off the podium just to jump onto his signature "drumbass."
Nick Mcnally, a freshman aerospace engineering major, plays trombone for the UB Concert Band. He anticipated a larger crowd but still thinks that the performance went over well due to the uniqueness of the night.
"Our instructor, Mr. Jon Nelson, wrote all of the arrangements for us. He just fit in the rock band with everyone and it sounded really good," Mcnally said. "I've never done anything like ['Kashmir'] with a full blown rock song and playing the backing part. That was a great time."

Combining a tale of unlimited power that does not lack challenge with teen self-doubt that does not irritate, Eaton creates a story that will strongly resonate with fans of YA fantasy without sacrificing broader interest.
Like most teenagers, Maya dreams of being better looking, cooler, smarter, and more popular. And of dating a star athlete. Dreams that seem destined to remain that way, until she is told that she is destined to inherent immense power over reality itself. At first having everything she wishes seems bliss; but even omnipotence turns out to have a price.
Many roleplayers would list unlimited wishes as the thing that is mostly likely to break a game in under a session. However, Eaton handles the power considerably more skillfully; perhaps because her chosen wielder is a rounded person with a normal life, rather than a fantasy hero. This results in two strong constraints: imagination and morality.
While Maya can – apart from a very specific limitation – cause anything she can imagine to happen, her imagination is, as with almost any but the youngest of children, constrained by years of facing the real world. For example, she is so used to bus drivers not stopping if she's late to her pickup point that – rather than simply wish to be at school – she runs to her stop in case she can get there in time, then wishes for the driver to stop when she isn't.
Paralleling this unconscious barrier to actually doing "anything" is the knock-on effect of wishes. Shortly after accepting that her powers are more than coincidence, something tragic happens that might be a result of one of Maya's wishes. The guilt of possibly being the cause, coming as it does before Maya has become used to her powers, significantly curtails both her experimentation and her frivolousness.
In addition to a skilful handling of unlimited power, Eaton provides a fresh and plausible perspective on one of the key tropes of young adult fiction: the desperately desired yet unattainable other. Maya has had a crush on Eric for years without believing she has a hope; as with many teen romances, when he finally displays an interest she is filled fresh doubts; however, unlike many teen romances, a girl who can wish for whatever she wants has good reason to fixate on whether he really likes her.
Although this book focuses on the emotional impact of wishes, it is not utterly without the more apocalyptic threats that characterise paranormal coming-of-age stories. Once Maya has truly started to feel the burden of her powers, Eaton moves beyond normal teenage angst into that which comes from possible great destiny.
Maya is a sympathetic, and – more importantly – average teenage protagonist, so it likely to attract immediate support from many readers and less irritation than usual from those readers who find heroines who are unaware of their own exceptional qualities a little tiring or implausible.
Making allowances for the appropriately self-absorbed viewpoint of the narrator, the supporting cast are similarly ordinary people with a realistic set of qualities rather than stereotypes.
Where the book is perhaps less suited to some audiences is in the central dilemma that Maya faces once she realises her powers are real: while her choices and worries are entirely consistent with her psychology, the eventual solution might seem less unexpected to readers with the benefit of experience and slight distance from events.
Overall, I found this book a pleasant distraction, but do not consider myself it's target audience. I recommend it to readers seeking a classic YA paranormal storyline with a fresh take on the key magical heritage.

Board Game Capital's Review:
Review Completed (2018-07-03) Not everyday do you see a game that begins rising from the table as each players creates an amazing replica of a gorgeous 3D tree. First off, our hats go off for such a brilliant game concept that revolves around building a three dimensional tree with your cards. We loved this idea when we first saw it and playing a game that lets you be part of such a creation is truly remarkable. Youll use roots, trunks, branches and even flowers to build your tree connecting cards together. Every player gets their own unique view of your tree.
Complimenting the tree building are the wonderful graphics on the cards. Unique and very well illustrated hexagonal cards make up this card game that create a great theme. Just the right amount of detail makes this game very pleasing to play. The different sizes and shapes of cards adds to the magic of your tiny tree.
We also loved that you can play in two different modes: for looks or for points. If you want to get competitive and get your strategy going, you can play for points utilizing flowers and bugs to gain you points. If you just want to build your tree for a fun activity to spawn the inner tree maker inside of you, then youre more than welcome to play this way also. The first time through, thats how we played until we caught on to the strategy that Tiny Trees can bring. The second time, it was more heated as points were on the line. We all loved the game!
The rules are well written and easy to learn how to play. In the sample game that we received the rule book was sized perfect for the box and was a great size to browse through. Colorful pictures, examples and diagrams helped to explain the game.
Now, along with good news comes the bad. Upon opening the box, we realized we had to hand cut multiple slits in each and every card to allow you to join the cards together. Some cards even got cut completely in half as well as have a slit added to them. This took us some time and seeing the dotted cut lines struck us as a little tacky and DIYish. This distracted from the beauty of the cards.
Speaking of cards, we were disappointed to feel how thin and flimsy these cards are especially after realizing these would need to be joined with other cards and retain some strength to them. While playing, cards would slip, fold or even bend under the slightest of pressure. This made playing frustrating at times. The longevity of the cards is unknown but be aware that they may not last as long as you might have hoped (especially if younger hands get to them). Storage box also seems a little flimsy but that's a trade off on how much you're willing to spend.
Back to the good news thicker cardboard and even laser cut game piece will be available in some sets. These would be AWESOME! We also think this is a must. With such a great game, theme, illustrations and game play, the card quality has to be the most important thing. Wed love to play this game with improved and thicker cards.
Tiny Trees is fun to play and brings a simple nature tone. Each game varies with tall trees, wide trees, skinny trees and short trees. Branches stretching out with flowers and bugs makes a very visually impressive spectacle. We thought this would also be a fun game if cards were merely laid flat on the ground maybe another alternate version? Were glad to have Tiny Trees in our game collection.
The spirit that earns the greatest amount of favor wins.
You'll get 43 branchlet cards, 16 root cards, 8 flowers, 4 trunks, 8 blessings and the official Tiny Trees game rules and instructions.

– If you think you're
in a competitive niche, and the SEO strategies that
I'm sharing won't work for you, think again. What d'you think is the most
competitive niche out there? It's SEO. I'm competing with other SEOs
who know exactly what I know. But check this out, I'm ranking for over 477,000 keywords and I'm getting over 2.2 million
unique visitors per month. And today, I'm going to share
my exact formula that I use to keep growing my website. Hi everyone, I'm Neil Patel, and today I'm going to break
down the advanced SEO formula that helped me rank for 477,000 keywords. (gentle synth music) Before we get started,
make sure you subscribe, and if you're on YouTube,
once you subscribe, click the Alert Notifications so that way, when I go live, you'll get notified. The first step that you need to take if you want to rank for keywords
is to focus on the pages that drive revenue. Product pages, service
pages, and content pages. A lot of people want to optimize just for the sake of getting more traffic. Ranking for more keywords
that don't drive revenue doesn't really matter. So if you have, instead of goal tracking, conversion tracking in
your Google Outlooks, make sure you do that now. So, once you figure out the
pages that drive your revenue, the second step that you need to take is to log into Google Search Console. See what the keywords are that are driving traffic to those pages. See the keywords that aren't
giving you a lot of clicks but have a lot of impressions, right? Look for keywords that have less than a 5% clickthrough rate. In other words, they're
getting a lot of impressions but very few people are clicking over and going to your website. I want you to export all
those keywords into a CSV. Then, once you export them,
sort them by impression count and click count. Also, look at the rankings. Look at the ones that
aren't ranking as high. Keywords that are in
position one, two, and three, sure, you may be able to
improve them a little bit, but they keywords that are
in position seven, eight, nine, and ten? They're much more likely
to provide an impact. According to ClickFlow, which optimizes title tags on a daily basis through their software, they found that through a research of over five million title tags, that if you're in position
seven, eight, nine, or ten, moving up a few spots doesn't
do much of a difference. But, if you can get those spots from going from number seven or eight, all the way up to number three or two, you see a massive gain. And that's why you want to identify those and by exporting into a CSV
file, you can see the ones that are much more likely to
give you that boost in traffic versus the ones that
won't do much for you. The next step, I want you
to take all those keywords and then add it into your content. Whether it's your title
tag, your meta description, you're adjusting your content
to include those keywords. If you don't do that, what you'll find is your rankings won't go up much more. And there's a few hacks that you can do to increase your clicks, as well, which then boosts your rankings. For example, did you know that title tags with question marks have
more than a 10% increase in clicks than title tags
without a question mark? And that's according to ClickFlow, again. So, if you include things like that, you'll get more clicks, you'll
boost up your user signals, and you can start ranking higher. The next thing I want you to do is head on over to Ubersuggest and type in all the
keywords that you rank for, and you're going to have
to do this one by one. Now, once you head over to Ubersuggest click on the Keyword Ideas report. It'll show you all the
long-tail variations of that keyword that also drive traffic and are popular. It'll show you the CPC data and all this is really important because keywords with a higher CPC typically will drive more conversions and sales and leads. So, once you have all those keywords, what you want to do is
readjust your content and add them all back in. Now, you don't want to just
shove those keywords in, you want to adjust your content
and make sure it makes sense. If it doesn't make sense for
the user, it's not relevant, don't add them in. But think of it this way. If you already rank for a
head term, like dog food, don't you think it's
going to be really easy to rank for terms like organic dog food, dog food for small animals, dog food with free shipping. Once you rank for the head term, Google will almost instantly rank you for all these long-tail terms assuming the content on
your page is relevant, and you should see the results
within a 30-day period. Once you adjust all these keywords and add them within your text, what you then want to do is then go back to Google Search Console, in their top bar, add in
the URLs of all the pages where you adjusted content and have them re-index that page. When you do that, what you'll find is they'll index it faster and you're much more likely
to see the rankings increases quicker than if you just waited for Google to crawl the content on their own. Now, the last tip I have for you is, go back into Search Console, see all the pages that have some traffic, but very little traffic, in other words most of the keywords that they're ranking for are
on page two or page three, and what you'll want to do is see what other pages on
your site are very relevant to that page that's ranking
on page two or page three for most of the terms and see if you can
interlink them together. By interlinking your pages together, the juice starts flowing, and you'll find that it starts
bringing up all your pages, they start ranking higher and as you start ranking
higher, you're thinking, hey, Neil, this is just
increasing my rankings, this isn't helping me
rank for more keywords. Well, once those keywords start
ranking higher and higher, you can go back and do the previous step in which you take the keywords
that are ranking higher, put them back into Ubersuggest, find all the long-tail variations, and then boom, you adjust the page to include those terms as well. So if you follow all of that, you'll notice that you're
going to start ranking for more and more keywords over time. Best of all, you don't
have to link building. It's one of the simplest
strategies that I have been using and this is how I've grown my traffic over the years. Most people continue to write
more and more new content. I only write one blog article a week, but my team adjusts 90 blog
posts, per month, on our site. That's how effective this strategy is. It's more effective than
writing new content. If you need help getting

clever, creative and functional
Steeped in good taste
This tea is delicious! It has an amazing aroma and it tastes just as wonderful. So refreshing!
Nicola™ Porcelain Teapot
This glass tea infuser is very cute and functional! I love how the aesthetics of it and it even comes with its own lid to keep it from getting any specks of dust in it.
We can't believe that we did know about VIVA Scandinavia when we opened our offices. Not only the products are wonderful (simple, beautiful, unique), the shipping is really fast, nothing was broken, and when we had a minor issue with the size of an item, the great customer service solved the whole matter in an hour, wow! Highly recommend VIVA - 5 STARS
This is a well built product which is very durable and modern design. This will make an excellent gift for the tea drinker.
Love it! Great quality and looks beautiful. Fits in the fridge door easily. Looking forward to ice tea season!
Love this little set. It's a matte, deep charcoal colour. Looks great on my shelf with my tea supplies!
Nina™ Tea Set
Very attractive and also durable! This will last many many years and still look good and remain very functional. Thank you for an excellent product.
Bjorn™ Teapot Large
milk and sugar set -- lovely, practical, tactile
I'm not fan of green teas in general but I love this one!
I totally love this teapot. It looks really stylish on the kitchen counter and because it's so stylish, I can actually leave it out on the counter top. It also works really well. It really pours without dripping, which is a problem with so many other teapots. I also bought the cork base and would recommend getting it as it completes the look, but also, the base of the teapot is flat ceramic, so it gets hot. I also like the fact that this is not a typical teapot, that one sees everywhere.
A little larger than I anticipated, but still so beautiful.
Infusion™ Tea Egg
Nicola™ Porcelain Teapot
Very nice
Product arrived as promised.
Elmwood Reiki Blend Ayurvedic Herbs & Green Tea
These are great hot beverage mugs. Really cute too
Beautiful and very well made - it feels like self care to use this mug. Love it and would recommend!
I love the metal cover, keep my tea hot just how I like it! Pours really well unlike similar teapots. A little on the pricey side but it's worth it if you are tea lover like me 😊😊😊
Anytime™ Emma Cup
Very refreshing and my friends love it too
Beautiful small teapot. Perfect three-cupper for reading or relaxing. Good service from vendor.
Infusion™ Collapsible Tea Strainer
Best service ever and great quality!
Received the Christian carafe recently and couldn't be happier. Beautiful design and the quality is top notch.
I love the minimalistic design and how it fits perfectly in your hand.
Just as I had expected, the best coffee I have ever tasted. Planning on recommending it to my friends. Thank you for your prompt delivery.
Diane Stevens
I've gotten lots of compliments on the set! Very happy I purchased it.
So beautiful and elegant!
Infusion™ Porcelain Teapot Small
My order arrived in a timely matter and was exactly what I wanted.
The born collection tea set: I love the double layer of the tea cups that allows for heat protection. The clear style of the tea set is great to see the tea I'm drinking. Also when there's almost no more tea left, I'll know exactly when to add more water to the pot. I love this set so much 💕
Wicked tea.
Beautiful full flavour hot or cold
Minima™ Balance Tea Mug
This makes fantastic iced tea as well. I've been trying to find an iced tea that comes out clear without much hassle. Lipton, Luzianne, Tetley - all these teas are a bit finicky when trying to brew just right. On occasion if you overbrew you get a cloudy, mucky mess of a tea. And I like my iced tea to be clear as highly polished amber. This one is so hard to mess up. I use four bags in a pyrex measuring cup. I can walk away from it while it's steeping. Somewhere after 6 minutes or so I check on it. Then I pour it over ice. I've tried to take pictures of how it looks, but it's frosting the pitcher so it's hard to tell how nice it looks. I know people might be like, who cares how it looks? But often cloudy tea has a horrible taste to it. Very bitter.
This also tastes great. It has a nice sharp flavor to it without being too much. I found I had to get used to it, the first couple of glasses I was expecting the more mellow taste of more basic iced teas. Once I did get used to the change, I will not go back. This is my new iced tea!
Senses™ AMBIENCE Tea Set
Beautiful piece! Highly recommended!
Beautiful items, perfect for our tea shops. Great service. Thank you. We will order again.
Excellent tea, perfectly, wife loves it!

5 Stunning Waterfalls in Chiang Mai You Must Absolutely Visit
One natural attraction that Thailand has in spades is waterfalls. When tourists think of Thailand, they often see a place with pristine beaches, awe-inspiring temples, and a wild nightlife. However, the country boasts so much more as there are plenty of exciting and exotic activities all over, particularly in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is an ancient city that's famous for spectacular rolling valleys and hills, lush green rain forests, and amazing rural countryside scenery. Chiang Mai waterfalls are also among the best in Thailand. These natural wonders are perfect for day trips that involve chilling out, having a picnic, swimming, and taking photos.
Here are 5 of the best Chiang Mai waterfalls you absolutely can't afford miss out on when you visit Thailand.
Mae Sa Waterfall
Also called Namtok Waterfall, Mae Sa Waterfall is one of the best tourist attractions not just in Chiang Mai but Thailand as well. It boasts breathtaking waterfalls amid the eye-catching natural landscape.
Mae Sa Waterfall is made up of a chain of 10 waterfalls spanning about 1.5kms, and it'll take about 30 minutes to walk around the entire waterfall series.
There's a short walk between each waterfall (about 5 minutes), so you can relax and enjoy the view of each walk. You can enjoy a swim at the foot of the waterfalls if you want.
Mae Sa Waterfalls are a great picnic location, so bring your lunch along and relish the tranquility of a peaceful lunch here. Many natives have their picnic here, so it's a fantastic place to meet with the locals, but it's best to avoid the super busy weekend period.
Restaurants line the entrance to the waterfalls where you can relax by the river enjoying a snack or cold drink. You're also welcome to cycle to some of the beautiful sights here via the national park.
Mae Sa Waterfalls are located in the Mae Rim district, around 27km northwest of Chiang Mai. To get there, just follow the signs on Mae Rim-Samoeng Road.
Huay Kaew Waterfall
This waterfall is an amazing site for visitors who're pressed for time and want to visit a waterfall that's near town.
The walk around Huay Kaew Waterfall only takes about 10 minutes and you'll see a peaceful, lush, green jungle setting. Bring a picnic along and enjoy lunch under the trees because there are lots of stones to sit on while you immerse your feet in the water.
There are also several food stalls at the entrance where you can have a cold drink or an authentic Thai lunch.
If you want a great view, go a bit further (about 25 minutes of hiking) where you can see Chiang Mai City from the top of a cliff. It's best to wear strong shoes like hiking boots or runners as the path might be slippery.
It's free to enter the waterfall, which is good for both adults and children. You can climb the falls and have a dip in the small pools there. The water can get very cold during the winter, but it's refreshing the rest of the time.
Located close to Chiang Mai Zoo, Huay Kaew Waterfall is just a shout away from the foot of the Doi Suthep Mountain.
Bua Tong Waterfall
Also known as the Seven Colors or Rainbow Spring, Bua Tong Waterfall is located in Mae Taeng District, northern Chiang Mai. Bua Tong Waterfall gets its water from the Seven Colors or Rainbow Spring.
The spring water has a high concentration of calcium carbonate. As the water cascades down the waterfall, it deposits calcium on the rocks, giving them a non-slip surface.
While the rocks look smooth, walking up the falls is super easy. It's almost like the rocks are covered with cement. This one feature makes a trip to Bua Tong falls worth your time. And apart from the waterfall, you can also enjoy the majesty of the forest nearby.
The Bua Tong Waterfall is under the management of Si Lanna National Park. It's located on highway 1001, inside the Mae Tang forest reserve in northern Chiang Mai.
Mok Fa Waterfall
Also located in Mae Tang District, northern Chiang Mai, Mok Fa Waterfall is managed by the Doi Suthep national park.
The waterfall is full of water throughout the year and is heaving with lush green vegetation. The waterfall's enchanting ambiance makes it a perfect spot for recreation.
Apart from the stunning waterfall you can check out Tham Mok Fa. A haven of bats and a great location for nature freaks wanting to participate in various activities, including swimming, camping, bird watching, and surveying the nature.
There are four houses and a campsite if you wish the spend a night at Mok Fa Waterfall, but you should make reservations or get in touch with Doi Suthep national park ahead of time.
The best time to tour Mok Fa Waterfall is in the winter. The water is so clear and clean that you can have a swim in the pool at the base.
Mae Takhrai Waterfall
This stunning Chiang Mai waterfall is part of the likewise named national park. It lies between 400 and 2000m above sea level.
Mae Takhrai national park is situated in southeastern Chiang Mai, towards Lamphun. It boasts an outstanding array of deciduous forests and tropical rain forests.
The Mae Takhrai Waterfall is a one-tier waterfall, 6km away from the park's headquarters. It's surrounded by a beautiful variety of flowers and plants that blossom seasonally in various colors.
Summing Up Chiang Mai Waterfalls
There are several waterfalls near Chiang Mai, as well as some fantastic ones further north towards Chiang Rai and Pai. You will find others further south towards Doi Inthanon. You might want to check out the weather and the best time to visit Chiang Mai. The waterfalls are a wonderful attraction year round but after the rainy season they are in full flow.
For a perfect waterfall outing, make sure to bring some drinks and snacks along. Bring a pair of swim shorts as well as a blanket and a towel for a cool dip.
Planning a Chiang Mai holiday? Looking for a place to rest while there? If so, make sure to check into Howie's HomeStay.
We provide a secure, safe, and exclusive home environment for our guests to retire to after visiting the various Chiang Mai waterfalls.
