New pets demand a lot of attention and love, particularly during the first few weeks in their new home. So how do you juggle the responsibilities of pet parenthood with a full-time job? Pawternity leave could be the answer.
Pets are an important part of our lives and the mental-health benefits of having them around have been proven time and time again. The RSPCA reports that owning a pet can increase cardiovascular health, boost your immune system, make you more empathetic and lessen depression and stress.
Taking notice of the irreplaceable roles that fur babies have for many employees, some companies around the world have started introducing what is becoming known as 'pawternity leave' - that is, paid leave for staff to look after new pets.
Scottish company BrewDog announced last year that any of its employees who decide to adopt a puppy or rescue dog will be entitled to one week of paid leave to help settle their new fur babies into their homes.
In India, HarperCollins Publishers also offers their employees five days of paid pawternity leave, if they have just adopted a new pet.
"Pet children need as much attention [as human children], if not more." Ananth Padmanabhan, Chief Executive Officer of HarperCollins India, told HuffPost India.
Although Australia is lagging behind the rest of the world when it comes to paid leave specifically to care for pets, it is full of pet-friendly workplaces.
Mars Petcare Australia - who own brands like Pedigree, Chum and Whiskas - not only allow employees to bring their pets into the office, but also offer an onsite off-leash park, unlimited treats for four-legged friends and flexible working opportunities for staff members with new pets.

Cotton On Group also encourages pooches at their head office in North Geelong, which is documented by employees on Instagram using #dogsofcottonon.
So while pawternity leave isn't exactly an HR-trend that's spreading like wildfire, we can only hope that HR Directors around Australia might be reading this and take note of the forward-thinking companies who have formally acknowledged the importance of pets to their staff's wellbeing.

It has been a growing debate for all the tea connoisseurs with regard to the health benefits of Green Tea and White Tea. Many researchers have proved the healthy benefits of Green Tea but the advantages of White Tea are less exposed, hence below are some comparison of Green and White Tea and its healthy benefits to our health.
Both the tea i.e., Green Tea and White Tea come from the same camellia sinensis plant. Green Tea has numerous health benefits and hence it has become one of the favorite beverages to all the tea lovers across the globe. Green tea leaves do not undergo steaming, rolling and drying process while white tea undergoes only steaming and drying process. Green tea is now harvested throughout the season and white teas are harvested during the early spring for a short period of time. (Probably for a week or two only).
Green teas are made from the young tender leaves normally they are plucked bearing three to four leaves with the buds. White teas are made from the immature or unopened buds of the tea-leaf. White Tea is not fermented and thus contains three times the amount of antioxidants than Green Tea. Both green tea and white tea have less caffeine level however white tea comparatively has lesser caffeine.
The antibacterial and antiviral properties in White Tea are more than Green Tea as White Tea contains higher antioxidant. However, both teas have been proven to boost immune systems. Both Green & White teas works as great anti-aging properties when added to skin care products and both Green Tea and White Tea fights against free radicals of the body. The nutrients contain in Green tea can improve brain function and can improve dental health. The antioxidant in Green tea helps in keeping a heart healthy. The antioxidant properties of White Tea neutralize the free radicals of the body, reduce the risk of premature ageing and thus keeping your skin healthy and youthful. White tea leads to a decreased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and oral problems too.
Both white and green tea have high antioxidants level and helps in weight management
however, a regular exercise with a balanced diet needs to be maintained in-order to get the optimum benefits. Regarding taste, green taste gives a grassy taste and white tea gives a sweet and subtle flavor. Due to the delicate harvesting process of white tea, the production of white teas are less compared to other teas hence the price of white teas are a bit expensive than any other teas available in the market.
The liquor of white tea resembles to that of pale and light creamish color and green
tea brews a light greenish color.
The information above should clear up the difference between green tea and white tea. Both green and white teas offer abundant health benefits, but white tea may have a slight edge over green tea. The best way to get the optimum health benefits from tea is to include both Green and White teas to our daily diet. Drink Green tea on a daily basis and indulge on white tea once in a while.

Apply on dry hair and leave for min. 8 hours before washing your hair.
INITIAL TREATMENT - 1 application per day for 28 days (3 to 4 Bottles) - 1 Bottle allows 8 to 10 applications depending on hair length.
Short to mid length hair : Spray and impregnate whole hair, without making lines. Brush and let dry naturally.
Long hair: spray & impregnate down to the neck only, without making lines. Brush to the tips to impregnate hair by capillarity & let dry naturally.
Dyed hair: start treatment when 1 or 2 mm of grey roots start to appear. Spray and impregnate whole hair insisting on roots, without making lines. Brush and let dry naturally.
MAINTENANCE TREATMENT - 1 to 2 applications per week - 1 Bottle allows 8 to 10 applications depending on hair length. Follow the same instructions of use as for the initial treatment.
RESULTS - Visible as from the 1st bottle. Within a few days only, grey hair becomes light blond, medium blond, up to your original colour within the minimum 28 days recommended treatment. The aspect of your hair changes progressively in a very natural way. Your hair is glossy and healthier looking, thanks to the anti-aging complex (vegetable extracts of Gingko biloba, rosemary, horsetail, watercress holly, horse chestnut and Vitamins A, B5, B8, E & F).
Use SOFT & SILICONE FREE shampoos, to let repigmenting products penetrate hair. Do not use silicone based shampoos, nor shampoos containing sodium lauryl sulfate or ammonium lauryl sulfate, which decrease the anti grey hair efficacy.
Continue with maintenance treatment, only when initial repigmentating result is satisfactory.
It is not recommended to make lines when applying the products, as spraying more product on the scalp than on the hair, is useless.
Do not make perms, untangling products, dyes/bleaching and do not use styling gels with repigmenting products.
If you stop the treatment, grey hair will gradually reappear (if desired, you can dye hair again the following day).
These products are 96% natural and contain a large amount of active plant extracts acting on repigmenting. The horse chestnut plant extract can cause stains. It is advised to protect linen and clothes, marks disappear at 60°. On skin, product is easily removed with clear water.
External use only. Keep out of reach of children. Do not swallow. Avoid all contact with eyes. Rinse with clear water if contact with the eyes. Wash hands after use. Do not use on eyelashes, eyebrows or any other body hair. Despite proven effectivemeness of this product, results can vary, depending on each one's hair porosity.

I bet that the last time you showered was not too long ago. Most likely, it was either this morning or last night that you were lathered in soap under running water.
Since showers and bathrooms have become a standard in most regular houses, just about everyone in western society showers daily. We've become accustomed to showering and washing our body with soap every day. Sometimes even twice! It has become culturally entrenched.
Although some camper vans and campers do have a shower built in, many do not. They take up quite a bit of space, and can be a pain to clean. We've also heard many camper van owners who do have a shower mention that they don't use theirs because of the work involved.
Showering, or taking a bath, so frequently however is not something our grandparents did whilst growing up. We personally do not have the option to wash ourselves thoroughly that often. On average, we get to take a shower once a week. Sounds gross, right? We sure feel so. But besides our armpits smelling a bit more often, we do not notice a clear difference.
So we asked ourselves, how often should I shower? Or rather should you shower everyday?
Just aesthetics
Yesterday, on a sunny Friday evening, we enjoyed a lovely walk through the city center of Uppsala. Similar to just about every city, it was crowded with mainly young people on a night out.
What does everyone do before going out? Right, they take a shower, clean up and spray on some perfume. Well, we smelt whiffs of fragrances from every direction.
Showering daily and lathering our body has resulted from our obsession with smelling fresh and being as clean as possible when we expect to be surrounded by other people.
What does soap do, exactly?
Many people often consider bacteria as bad. What they often forget however, is the fact that bacteria are vital. Our bodies cannot function without them, and neither can our skin.
The ecosystem of our skin is slightly acidic. Soap however, is alkaline. As you might expect, this creates a conflict.
Soap is very effective in cleaning dirt and grease. But our soap still isn't so technically advanced that it is able to discriminate between the bad and good bacteria (and fats) on our skin. Instead, it removes everything, including natural oils produced by our skin to protect it.
Excessive showering disturbs the natural ecosystem of our skin and with it our skin's ability to protect us against extensive threats such as diseases.
But doesn't it also prevent the spread of diseases?
A review of scientific studies concludes, that considering bacterial counts, you're certainly not better off after showering or bathing with soap than you were before. Dr. Elaine Larson states similarly in an article by metro: "People think they're showering for hygiene or to be cleaner, but bacteriologically, that's not the case."
This does not solely include your usual soap. A study from Larson also shows that the frequent use of anti-bacterial soap whilst washing your hands is potentially damaging. It can even lead to increased spread of organisms due to a declined skin health.
What does this all mean for our daily shower?
So, how often should I shower? Associate Professor Stephen Shumack concluded in the sydney morning herald that we should only shower once our body needs it. If we're dirty or really sweaty after some exercise, it would be best to hop in the shower. However, people with sensitive skin should shy away from showers more often to protect the natural ecosystem of their skin.
When solely considering your health, showering once or twice a week should be sufficient according to Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell.
Just about every article we read, seems to conclude with the following tips:
- Do not lather your whole body but focus on the armpits and groin, the most smelly parts basically
- Keep the temperature down, warm not hot
- Soap is not necessary each time, it truly depends on your skin and hair type
- Take short showers, about 3 minutes should be more than plenty
- Lastly, do not forget to wash your hands, they are the main culprit of spreading bad bacteria and the like.
It seems that we can take a breather considering our irregular showering. It turns out that taking a shower once a week is not all that bad. In between our shower sessions, we do regularly wash our sweaty parts with a little washcloth. We also wash our hands multiple times a day, so we seem to be safe considering our personal hygiene. Aside from the fact that, at times, we do smell slightly 😉
How do you take care of your personal hygiene on the road? Do you shower daily? Or do you shower occasionally when the possibility arises, like is the case for us?

I am impressed with the first video. That is Rain stund double correct?
I meant to say stunt double correct?
@Kajima I often wonder if it was Rain or his stunt double who was walking from the scene when the yellow bike blew up. So was that Mr. Hak or Rain walking away from the explostion?
the vid you see their that actually Mr. Hak
but in the drama FUGITIVE is rain STUN for real this one is he showing a stun for rain on his cast of shoooting it was a real stun in the drama and the one u it was rain who walking from explostion it was REAL RAIN !!
MR. Hak just show rain how it work and a little of his stun but don"t worry every thing u see in the drama it a real rain he did it himself this just a clip of some fan fancam it not that rain nope!!
but what u see in fugitive drama yes that is him of the STUN !!
So awesome! I was hoping this wasn't JiHoon doing these stunts because this is very dangerous stuff, but in the same instincts I can't believe he broke the bike? HAHAHAHAHAHA so funny!!! Thanks for the info Kajima 🙂

"These two men," Shih-yin then pondered within his heart, "must have had many experiences, and I ought really to have made more inquiries of them; but at this juncture to indulge in regret is anyhow too late."
While Shih-yin gave way to these foolish reflections, he suddenly noticed the arrival of a penniless scholar, Chia by surname, Hua by name, Shih-fei by style
living by daily occupying himself in composing documents and writing letters for customers. Thus it was that Shih-yin had been in constant relations with him.
As soon as Yü-ts'un perceived Shih-yin, he lost no time in saluting him. "My worthy Sir," he observed with a forced smile; "how is it you are leaning against the
door and looking out? Is there perchance any news astir in the streets, or in the public places?"
"None whatever," replied Shih-yin, as he returned the smile. "Just a while back, my young daughter was in sobs, and I coaxed her out here to amuse her. I am just now without anything whatever to attend to, so that, dear brother Chia, you
come just in the nick of time. Please walk into my mean abode, and let us endeavour, in each other's company, to while away this long summer day."
After he had made this remark, he bade a servant take his daughter in, while he, hand-in-hand with Yü-ts'un, walked into the library, where a young page served tea.
They had hardly exchanged a few sentences,
when one of the household came in,
in flying haste, to announce that Mr.

The change of economic course in 2018 was so extreme that any forecast for 2019 seems extremely rash.
Even with only a few dozen hours left in the year, it may still be too early to close the book on 2018. Hard as it might be to find any positive economic indicators, the expression "always darkest before the dawn" comes to mind – a dawn in which Argentina finally awoke to reality. But that very much remains to be seen.
The 2018 calendar began brightly enough in its first third with positive political and economic momentum, continuing from the government's midterm victory and economic growth of 2017 – so much so that President Mauricio Macri could indulge a largely apolitical post-modern agenda in his March state-of-the-nation address, including a half-hearted and ultimately unsuccessful proposal to legalise abortion. The year lost its way in early May with the dollar crisis (an occasion too complex to explain here) leading to a constant spiral of devaluation and inflation (or rather stagflation), followed within days by turning to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as almost the first rather than last resort and eventually securing an enhanced package of US$56 billion roughly equivalent to current exports (hard-hit by a cruelly unlucky summer drought).
Yet the loss of momentum was far more economic than political and the reason for that can be found in one of the year's biggest news stories – the 'cuadernos' ("notebooks") exposés of Kirchnerite graft. While the effect on public opinion was more subliminal than apparent, it also prevented ex-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner from translating her runaway opinion poll lead among Peronist leaders into any real opposition unity with no significant shifts in Argentina's polarised politics throughout the year.
This thumbnail sketch inevitably skips some of the year's biggest stories (some i n v o l v i n g f o o t b a l l , such as the disgraceful i n c i d e n t s surrounding Boca-River Libertadores Cup final or a disappointing World Cup in Russia, the more positive Youth Olympics, the abortion debate, the surprise discovery of the missing ARA San Juan submarine). "Darkest before the dawn" – could the G20 World Leaders Summit returning Argentina to a more complex world, from which all too many countries are backing away, be that dawn? Questions which cannot be answered in the next few dozen hours.
Any preview of an electoral year inevitably revolves around that lowest common denominator – and all the more so this year with the nation at a crossroads. The situation has changed enormously from this time last year when the immediate aftermath of the Cambiemos (Let's Change) ruling coalition's midterm triumph seemed to leave President Mauricio Macri p e r f e c t l y p o i s e d t o quote Ge - neral Juan D o m i n g o Perón's famous phrase: "It's not that we are so good but the others are worse" against the hopelessly d i v i d e d fragments of the Peronist movement. That political landscape has not changed but no longer defines the electoral outcome this October, which now seems to hinge on that famous quote slightly misattributed to Bill Clinton: "It's the economy, stupid."
Everything seems to depend on the persistence of a stagflation which has already lasted over six months. The extreme step of resorting to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) should avert any foreign debt crisis in this electoral year – especially with over half the US$56-billion package up for delivery in 2019 – but at the price of certain policy commitments. These policies, of a money supply freeze and high interest rates, may or may not end inflation in time (especially since the devaluation of this dying year doubled the pace of soaring prices) but they guarantee recession – fiscally expansive policies are uniquely shunned in an electoral year with negative growth already inked into the 2019 budget. Yet voter perceptions may be otherwise by next spring, simply because even a tough year could hardly be worse than 2018 (least of all the harvest). The change of economic course in 2018 was so extreme that any forecast for 2019 seems extremely rash.
Of the 365 days lying ahead of us, no less than 268 will be absorbed by the electoral calendar between the first local voting and December's presidential inauguration – any new president would then only have three weeks left in the year (even if Macri made some major moves in that short spell, ending capital controls as well as most export duties until recently). Nothing wrong with elections as the essence of democracy – the harm lies in their becoming ends in themselves if we cannot look beyond them.

According to UN Climate Chief Christiana Figueres, over 125 heads of state are expected to attend the upcoming New York City Climate Summit.
This news comes the day after UK's Prime Minister, David Cameron, announced that he also intends to be at the September 23 summit.
This meeting, hosted by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, comes ahead of next year's Paris Climate Change Conference. That Conference may end in a binding international treaty; the NYC summit will act as a political thermometer to see where various nations are in the year leading up to it.
Representatives from several multinational businesses will be in attendance, including BT, Unilever, HP, Virgin and Lockheed Martin, to discuss incentivizing low carbon technologies and the potential for a global carbon price.
The presence of such corporations has drawn criticism, but Figueres has stated that they are a necessary part of the process.
"The inclusion of business at the summit and over the past few years is frankly a recognition that climate change is not a one person or one sector issue," she said. "It cannot be solved by one country, one sector or one level of government. Climate is an every-person issue, and it requires everyone to work collaboratively in order to reach the solutions to the level and at the speed we need to find."
An apt symbol of this multilateral partnership is We Mean Business, a group of businesses and industry organizations that is urging governments to devote themselves to cleaner energies and carbon regulation.
Absent from the summit will be the leaders of two of the planet's three biggest polluters: India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and China's President Xi Jinping. Xi was previously confirmed for the summit in July and will now be sending Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli in his place. India has not yet finalized its alternate representative.
Figureres has stated that the absence of these two leaders should not be taken as some sort of political or environmental message. "I would not recommend we read too much into the person who is going to be speaking for the Chinese and India governments," she said.
"The fact is that they had fully intended to be represented at the top level and for reasons that have nothing to do with the climate summit at the at the last minute they are not able to be there."
Prior to the summit, activists are planning what may be the biggest climate march in history. The People's Climate March is scheduled for Sunday, September 21 and will be preceded and followed by several environmental events intended to raise awareness for green issues and sustainable living.

If you've got only around 1,000 baht to spend and are looking for a spacious air-con room next to a BTS station with a solid array of in-room amenities plus a swimming pool and fitness centre — well, your options are very limited. Yet King Royal Garden Inn offers all of that. It's not the lap of luxury, but for the location, comfort and value, the King is worth considering.

In a galaxy long ago and far away — which is to say 2015, the year Apple launched the iPhone 6s — Apple debuted a new iOS interface called 3D Touch, a feature that uses the iPhone's pressure-sensitive surface to help you view, navigate, and control some aspects of the device's apps and features. You could use it to evoke an app's Quick Actions, preview notifications, operate actions from the Control Center, and "peek and pop" with certain apps without having to launch them.
3D Touch was used in the iPhone 6s, 7, 8, X, and XS models before being discontinued. It's also present on MacBook touchpads and on the Apple Watch. While some people were able to use 3D Touch to their advantage, and will profoundly miss it, others found it unintuitive at best and annoying at worst.
With iOS 13, Apple has ditched 3D Touch, replacing it with something that feels somewhat similar, called Haptic Touch. The difference between 3D Touch and Haptic Touch is that the former responds to different levels of pressure with different responses and features while the latter does not distinguish between the force or intensity of pressure but rather the length of a finger press. This call and response depends on the pressure sensitivity built into the iPhone screen, so depending on which iPhone model you own, you will get one or the other or both. 3D Touch is a hardware-based feature because it is paired with pressure-sensitive screens. Haptic Touch is software-based.
For example, the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro substitute 3D Touch with Haptic Touch. As on the iPhone XR, the haptic feedback consists of a subtle vibration in response to the long press. Older models with touch-sensitive glass may still retain the original 3D Touch feature. Below is what appears on my iPhone 6s on iOS 13.
Regardless of whether the touch response is 3D or haptic, some people hate both equally, and could never find or get the hang of the feature's light-medium-firm press subtlety, or did not find the results edifying. If that's you, there is a way to rid your phone of its constant responses to the pressure of your errant fingers. Here's how to do it.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap on General.
- Tap on Accessibility.
- Tap on 3D & Haptic Touch.
- Toggle 3D Touch off.
Once disabled, you will no longer be bothered by a vibrating phone every time you happen to touch the glass or the alerts and menus that may accompany it, depending on where you pressed. You can handle your phone to your heart's content without triggering any unexpected actions.
And of course, if you find yourself pining away for the feature after all, it's easy enough to just toggle it back on again.

If you want to pass a few hours into the wild, you have to visit this peaceful and "secret" place near the city of Tarvisio.
While planning a trip to Fusine Lakes, that you can find HERE, add to your journey a walk through this wonderful hidden path.
Following the road that leads to Fusine in Valromana, you will find the indications to Boscoverde, a small hamlet close to Tarvisio. Here you can easily park your car at the old abandoned railway station and carry on by walk a little dirty road that leads very quickly to the Napoleonic war memorial monument on the top of the hill.
From this point you can take 2 different paths to descend to the river Slizza. The first on the left that will take you into the wonderful forest that surrounds the entire area or the one on the right, a steep stairway (but don't worry, it's equipped with fences and comfortable steps) that will take you in about 5 minutes to the Slizza. I suggest taking this one at the beginning because it's a little harder and I prefer the forest walkthrough for the return!
Finally arriving at the river, you can admire the beauty of nature at its best. Streams of water that depending on the lighting conditions can assume different colors, natural caves, handmade tunnels (built for the first time in 1874!) and the beautiful 18 meter waterfall of Rio Molino that jumps into the Slizza.
You will take about 1h (with a very slow pace) in order to admire all the beauties of this place, including the final walk through the spruce and beech forest. An easy but a must-do adventure for nature lovers and families!

This cutting edge marine attraction makes a wonderful family outing. Watch mesmerized while an astonishing variety of sea creatures – giant groupers, lionfish, jellyfish, cuttlefish, eels, catfish, reef fish, rays and other animals swim in and out of a mysterious environment themed around the mythical 'lost city' of Atlantis.
Gasp at the brilliant neon colors of the reef fish, the coral and the anemones. Meet rays and starfish in the touch pools and marvel at the scary sharks, giant catfish and color-changing cuttlefish. It's an experience that will thrill and enchant adults and children alike.
Enjoy an incredible undersea adventure when you visit the The Lost Chambers at Atlantis Resort.
This magnificent underwater exhibit is themed around the story of Atlantis – the legendary city that is said to have been lost beneath the waves.
In the tanks you will see a fascinating variety of marine life darting in and out of scenery that imaginatively portrays the drowned city. In over 11 million litres of water The Lost Chambers features thousands of marine animals from around the world in more than 20 exhibits.
You will see moray eels gliding around an 'ancient kiln' from the 'vanished city', and giant cuttlefish propelling themselves around what seems to be the entry to a mineshaft. There are sharp-toothed piranhas, giant catfish, and jelly fish going about their lives as well as shoals of tiny jewel-like fish bustling around multi-hued coral reefs.
Small children love the 'touch pools' where they can interact with baby stingrays, starfish, small crabs and skates.
There is no dedicated guide on this tour but you will find plenty of staff at 'The Lost Chambers' ready to tell you more about the story of Atlantis and the incredible marine life you can see in the tanks.

Home of the oldest university in the western world, founded in 1088, even before Paris and Oxford. It is therefore a cultural hub, still growing today and kept alive and flourishing by the more than 90 thousand students that fill the University's various departments.
Bologna's museums are a clear legacy of the culture that has been handed down over the centuries. From the Galleria d'Arte Moderna (Gallery of Modern Art) to the Pinacoteca Nazionale (National Art Museum), from the Archiginnasio of Bologna – the original main building of the University – to the wealth of the Sistema Museale d'Ateneo (University Museums) An offering that ranges from archaeology to modern art, from music to history, all the way to more innovative aspects such as industrial heritage and technical culture.
The love for cuisine and fine dining that helped create an incomparable fine wine and food tradition. Fresh pasta, meat dishes and traditional products are the pillars of a substantial and opulent cuisine which, over the years, led to this moniker being given to the city.
If you are shopping for food, a walk behind Piazza Maggiore, between via Caprarie and Drapperie is a must, where you can order hand-closed tortellini, taste delicious tagliatelle with meat sauce or buy typical cold cuts and cheeses. It is therefore essential to stop at one of the ancient taverns in the centre: a tribute to good Bolognese cuisine.
Red like the dominating colour of the historical buildings and the roof tiles. And in a more recent era, red like Ducati and Ferrari which, together with Lamborghini and Maserati, make Bologna and its region the "land of motors".
Hundreds of towers give the city its unique appearance. In the past the wealthy families built towers to defend themselves against attacks and robbery from enemies and rivalling families: the Asinelli and Garisenda towers, both leaning, are the main ones still standing.
Indeed famous for its towers, yet also famed worldwide for its charming historical centre, one of the best preserved in Europe and characterised by 40 kilometres of porticoes.

Keeping pets in a council home
Apply to keep pets in your council home
We understand that keeping pets can offer significant benefits to our residents. We have a pet policy for our tenants and you must fill in an application form to keep a pet in your home.
Your tenancy agreement states that you must ask for and get written permission before keeping any pets in your home. This also includes pets you intend keeping outside in the open or in cages or enclosures. Permission is not required for you to have a registered assistant such as a guide dog, but you must tell us.
If we grant you permission, there are clauses in your tenancy agreement that you need to keep to, for example you must not:
- Allow your pet to cause nuisance to neighbours or anyone within the locality
- Breed animals at the property
- Keep any breed of fighting or dangerous dog or any illegal breed of animal
You can find all clauses in section 6 of your tenancy agreement 'pets and other animals'.
You will be charged for any damage caused to your home by your pets.
We will normally give permission for up to two domestic pets of the following kind:
- Domestic cats and dogs
- Other small domestic animals such as rabbits, chickens (but not cockerels) hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, gerbils and rats
- Small birds such as budgerigars and canaries
- Fish
- Non-poisonous insects and spiders
- Non-poisonous snakes and reptiles under two feet in length (fully grown)
We will normally refuse permission in the following circumstances:
- Dogs, other then registered assistance dogs and cats are not allowed in multi-storey block in any circumstances
- Dogs and cats are not normally allowed in flats or maisonettes unless there is direct access to a private garden
- Applications to keep pets in Sheltered flats such as De Wint Court, St Botolph's Court and Derek Miller Court will not normally be granted, however we will use our discretion as to the benefits of pet ownership particularly when someone is moving into these flats and has a pet they wish to take with them
- Permission will not be given to keep a dog that is prohibited by the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 or any similar legislations, or any other wild, dangerous or poisonous creature or any animals covered by the Dangerous Wild Animal Act 1976
- Permission will not be given to keep livestock, including horses, ponies or similar animals expect chickens
Keeping dogs
You must have your dog permanently identified by microchip, neutered and wear a collar.
You must clear up any fouling including in communal areas and public spaces, as well as your garden.
Dogs can suffer from behavioural problems when left alone for periods of time. This can cause nuisance, if they bark continuously. It is advisable to make alternative arrangements for your dog if you are away from your home for regular periods of time.
Keeping cats
You must have your cat permanently identified by microchip and neutered.
Cats can spray, soil and have unplanned litters so, the easiest and most cost effective way of dealing with this is to have them neutered.
You must clear up any fouling including in communal areas and public spaces, as well as your garden.
You must seek permission to fit a cat flap. Cat flaps may not be fitted to uPVC doors.
Keeping small mammals
You must limit small animals such as rabbits, guineas pigs, rats, mice, gerbils and hamsters to manageable numbers.
In the cases of rabbits and guinea pigs they can either live in a hutch out in your garden or in your home as a house pet; however they are prone to chewing in order to keep their teeth in good condition so beware of this if keeping a rabbit inside your home.
You should avoid letting your pets breed by keeping same-sex or neutered animals.
Keeping birds
You can keep birds in your home if you live in a flat or a house. However, did you know it is illegal to keep a bird in a cage where it is unable to fully stretch its wings in every direction? Please be aware of this when purchasing their habitat.
You must keep their home free from droppings. In cases of keeping birds outside you should make sure you have adequate outside facilities for the birds and that you can look after them properly.
Keeping reptiles and spiders
Often these sorts of pets have specialist needs. You must ensure that their particular needs are met. Information about reptiles is often found in the pet stores where spiders and reptiles are sold. It will be you responsibility to research their requirements
Keeping chickens (not cockerels)
We don't encourage you to keep this sort of livestock at a council home. If you wish to keep chickens you must have the appropriate facilities and know how to meet all care and welfare needs. You must also ensure that the animals will not cause nuisance or distress to other people nearby.
You may not keep cockerels.
Do I need a license to keep a pet?
To keep certain pets you must, by law, obtain a license. If you wish to keep a pet that you need a license for, we will ask to see the license before granting permission for you to keep the pet.
What happens if my pet(s) are causing a nuisance?
If someone tells us that your pet is causing nuisance, we will contact you about it and warn you if you are breaking your tenancy agreement.
We will ask you to put the problem right immediately to avoid breaking your tenancy agreement again. If you do not put the problem right and your pet continues to cause nuisance we will take formal action against you and withdraw permission for you to keep a pet.
Anyone mistreating or neglecting their pet will be refused permission to keep any pet and will be reported to the RSPCA.

Douglas Fir smells like christmas time, pure joy and love. this must be a heart healing herb as well because when courtney and i were harvesting this today some heart medicine was running through us pretty strong.
i enjoyed all the harvesting so much i have been scouting out trees for months now and watching them change colours, grow buds, tips and waiting to harvest them at all these stage. so today it happened. i harvested three trees that live in a pack up a hill, to make medicine.
i think the whole process of harvesting is when the medicine starts.
lots of douglas fir needles to take off the branches, i asked my son and the next door neighbour kid who is 'bored' cause his parents won't let him do what he wants, which is to invent a generator that runs of pee…very interesting neighbor is over and him and olo were into taking the needles off with me. we worked on that project for at least an hour and then it was dinner time.
once the kids fell asleep it was into the kitchen for me turning the douglas fir needles into magic potions.
my camera battery was dead for most of the working process in the kitchen.
i used a home made hydrosol operation that courtney taught me how to make a few months ago. basically you take a big pot put a large flat rock in the bottom, add plant material and water, put a bowl on the rock, put the lid on the upside down and place frozen huge chunks of ice on top of the lid. turn on the heat to medium and wait patiently for your liquid to collect in your bowl and then take time to empty it out, if it's small…mine is.
the kitchen smells amazing, it's a heavenly steam in there.
on the other burner i was simmering some honey with the douglas fir tips. yum!
these magic potions will be coming out this month in my community supported herbalism monthly basket program. exciting. this is the first basket in the SPRING series. it is full of Douglas Fir potions.
also included in this months basket
Campfire Nights Body Oil a combination of douglas fir + lapsang souchong that smells amazing! this special scent comes only from these two infused oils!
Nettles! a dried bag to drink in your tea blends. or powder in smoothies.
Soap. something homemade from the past.
Douglas Fir Tip Infused Honey
Douglas Fir Hydrosol Spritzer

Today, I'm gearing up for NaNo, which starts tomorrow. I decided that I'm going to focus on completing Book #4 of the Ward Sisters Series, Annie and Josh's story, This Year's Love. It's about halfway to where I like to be for word count. Yes, I know I'm verbose. I like to write and then cut, so with This Year's Love at ~60k, I've still got at least 50k left. The purpose of NaNo is to just get it all out there, so my goal is to have this story 100% drafted by the end of November.
Strangely enough, though this is Book #4, I realized that I need to write it before I write Book #3.5, Buying the Cow, which is a novella about Josh's best friend, Eddie Besson. The timeline actually overlaps This Year's Love, and I know where it starts and where it ends, but I have to fill in the middle. Well, the middle will be impacted by what happens in This Year's Love, so it just makes more sense to write that now. And Book #3, Right Here Waiting, is too close to completion for NaNo.
I've been reading Kristen Lamb's Blog entries about getting ready for NaNo, and one of the things she talks about is feeding your muse. With this book, I've already written part of it, so I've done a fair bit of research. It's also part of a series, so there is connection to the other stories. And then there is my writing method, which, when I'm in the zone and writing 8-10k words each day (yes, I can do that, I really can! I type faster than I write and talk), I work best if I've got a soundtrack playing. Not in my head, literally in my ears. So, one thing I'll do today is beef up the This Year's Love playlist on Spotify. One of the things I love about using Spotify is that I can go from my desktop to my laptop and I don't have to do anything special to access the playlist. Love it. Anyway, this book hasn't been a priority, so its playlist is pretty shallow. That'll have to change.
As I said in yesterday's post, NaNo sets the writer up to average about 1,700 words/day to meet the goal. Since I have this marketing class and I'm editing Only One and I need to polish something for Pitch Wars and oh, yeah, I have kids and a husband and a job as caregiver/housekeeper/cook/CFO, I probably can't devote all my time to banging out This Year's Love in just a few short days, thus, completing NaNo in a week. Which is fine; I'm not doing this because I haven't disciplined myself to write every day. I write. Every day. Not always on any one thing, but I do it every.single.day. I have to write. It drives me nuts if I don't and the days we went camping this summer and I had to be unplugged, I wanted to tear my hair out because I couldn't sit with a cup of coffee and write first thing. I won't have trouble meeting the goal. But I'll need to be more rigid about my non-writing activities. Priorities, people.
Thus, I might be a little less present on Facebook and Twitter (I know, you're all so sad). And I'm thinking I need to examine what's on my DVR and decide what can be ditched or watched online instead. Writing, class and my family will have to take precedence over reading, TV and social networking this month. It's all good; I'm sure I won't be 100% absent from any one thing, but you have to do what it takes!

Mumbai: 34 yrs old Subhash Kumar, who had never drank even a sip of alcohol in his life, is now visiting the nearest wine shop every day. Subhash is buying 2 bottles of beers every day and paying with a 2000 Rs note to get 1700 Rupees in 100 Rs notes.
Ever since the demonetization announced by PM Narendra Modi on the 8th of November, there has been a shortage of change in the market. With most ATMs giving out just 2000 Rs note, people are struggling to come up with the change for their daily expenses. Shopkeepers are also struggling to return the change to their customers and asking them to bring exact amount when they come for shopping.
"I didn't have much problem withdrawing the money from my account after demonetization. The queue at the bank was short and I managed to withdraw 24,000 via a cheque. However, the problem is that they gave me 12 notes of 2000 and no 100 or 500 rupee note. Now I need change for all my daily expenses, bread-milk-eggs in the morning, vegetables, fruits, bus fare and some miscellaneous household expenses but nobody in the market was willing to accept the 2000 Rs note", Subhash told us about his predicament.
"Then a couple of days back, I saw my neighbor Jatin with several 100 rupee notes in his hand. When I asked him how he managed to get so many of them, he told me that the wine shop guy gave him change for a 2000 Rs note when he went to buy his daily quarter. I decided then and there that I will also start buying some alcohol to get change, now I go to the wine shop daily and get 2 bottles. Within a few days, all my 2000 Rs notes will convert to 100s. 1700 in 100 Rs notes are way more valuable than a 2000 Rs note right now so practically, I am making a huge profit by buying those 2 beer bottles", Subhash explained.
When we asked what he is doing with those beer bottles, Subhash said, "I am throwing away the beer and keeping the empty bottles. My son can use them to light rockets during next Diwali."

(Bloomberg) -- Hong Kong's rolling political turmoil could prove a tipping point for the world economy, Harvard University economist Carmen Reinhart said.
Noting an incidence of shocks that have rattled global growth, including the intensifying U.S.-China trade war, Reinhart cited Hong Kong as among her main concerns.
"One shock that is concerning me a great deal at the moment is the turmoil in Hong Kong," which could have consequences for growth in China and Asia generally, Reinhart said in an interview with Bloomberg Television's Kathleen Hays. "These are not segmented regional effects, these have really global consequences."
"What could be a tipping point that could trigger a really significant global slowdown, or even recession -- that would be a candidate, that could be a candidate," said Reinhart, who specializes in international finance.
Anti-government protests that began nearly three months ago are pressuring Hong Kong's economy, which already was being squeezed by China's economic slowdown and the trade war.
Reinhart previously has warned that Hong Kong faces a housing bubble.
"You could have shocks with a bang or with a whisper," she said.

The Integration Version in Chinese Philosophy:The memorandum of a intermediate path that lies surrounded by the opposites is overly to be found in Porcelain, in the form of Tao.
The memorandum of Tao is totally partnered with the name of the philosopher Lao-Tzu, uneducated B.C. 604. But this construction is major than the philosophy of Lao-Tzu, because it is edge up with definite objects belonging to the ancient imperial religion of the Tao, the celestial "way". This construction corresponds with the Vedic Rita.
The meanings of Tao are as follows:
(1) way, (2) method, (3) act, (4) Nature-force or atmosphere, (5) the keeping pace processes of Aspect, (6) the memorandum of the world, (7) the primeval realize of all phenomena, (8) the appropriate, (9) the good, (10) the eternal solely law.
Guaranteed translators even clarify Tao as God, not lacking a definite appropriate, because Tao, castle in the sky Rta, has a definite admixture of multinational substantiality.
I decision excel offer a few illustrations from the Tao Te Ching, the mold book of Lao-tzu:
1. Was Tao the child of whatever thing else? We cannot language.
But as a substanceless image it existed beforehand the Originator.
2. Offer was whatever thing formless yet revered,
That existed beforehand heaven and earth;
Lacking clear, lacking spirit,
Responsibility on oblivion, regular,
All pervading, unswerving,
One may elaborate of it as the mother of all gear under heaven
Its true name we do not know;
"Way" is the name that we offer it.
In order to time its essential phase, Lao-tzu likens it to water:
3. The history good is castle in the sky that of water. The virtue of water is that it assistance the ten thousand creatures; yet itself does not ramble, but is jovial with the [low] seats that all men avoid. It is this that makes water so join the Way.
The memorandum of the energic act might not unquestionably be more expressed.
4. He that is lacking vote for sees its essence,
He that clings to vote for sees solitary its facade form.
The cooperative spirit with the basic Brahmanic objects is interfering which does not inevitably tip instruct sound out Lao-tzu is an utterly leading prophet, and the old-fashioned image main every the Rita-Brahman- Atman and Tao conceptions is as comprehensive as man, appearing in every age and among all peoples, whether as a key energy construction, as "heart push" or at a halt overly it may be designated.
5. He who knows the Always-so has room in him for everything;
He who has room in him for everything is lacking slope.
To be lacking slope is to be kingly;
To be kingly is to be of heaven;
To be of heaven is to be in Tao.
Tao is for ever and a day, and he that possesses it,
Despite the fact that his manufacture ceases is not defeated.
The knowledge of Tao has therefore the exceptionally redeeming and inspirational effect as- the "sophisticated" of Brahman. Man becomes one with Tao, with the unending; hence to make this new-fangled weighty construction reasonably by the squad of its major family members, because Tao is overly the hutch of time. Tao is an mad, like so a seriously inconceivable fact: Tao is essence, but unseizable, dense."
6. Tao is a thing imaginary, incommensurable.
For even if all creatures under heaven are the products
of [Tao as] when.
Qualities itself is the product of [Tao as] Not-Being.
Tao is bottomless and unspecified.
Perceptibly Tao is an mad federation of the opposites, therefore a symbol which is and is not.
7. The Qualify Life form never dies;
It is named the the unexplained female.
And the talk of the the unexplained Female
Is the defective from which heaven and earth sprang
Tao is the creative essence, as boon begetting and as mother bringing forth. It is the beginning and end of all creatures.
8. He whose whereabouts are in accord with Tao becometh one with Tao.
It follows that the revered one is slack from the opposites whose secure lash and discontinuous indentation he is restless of. As a result in Payment ix he says : "to discrete oneself is the celestial way".
It follows that the perfected sage liberates himself from the opposites, having seen ready their lash with one fresh and their alternation. It follows that it is said:
9. Since your work is done, as a result discrete.
Such is heaven's way.
He [the perfected sage] cannot either be lifelike voguish
Devotion or repelled,
Cannot be benefited, cannot be harmed,
Cannot be either raised or humbled.
Qualities one with Tao resembles the ground of infancy:
10. Can you preclude the unquiet physical heart from straying, hold onto fast
to the Accord, and never expire it?
Can you, just the once concentrating your gust, make it lenient castle in the sky that
of a diminutive child?
11. He who knows the male, yet cleaves to what is female,
Becomes castle in the sky a difference, receiving all gear under heaven;
And when such a difference,
He knows all the time a power that he never calls upon in self-satisfied.
This is unrelieved to the ground of early years.
12. The impunity of that which is held back with this power
May be likened to that of an youngster.
This is, admittedly, the psychological influence which is an essential royal of the bequest of the Christian Majestic of Paradise, and this in malevolence of all neutral interpretations is the important, mad essence, the basic image and symbol whence income the redeeming effect.
The Christian symbol easily has a manager expressive (kind than the united Eastern conceptions. These subsequent are manager permission set in in ad infinitum customary dynamistic conceptions, such as the image of magical power, issuing from gear and men, and on a exclusive level from gods, or a act.
According to the objects of the Taoistic religion, too is at odds voguish a act fasten of difficult, Yang and Yin. Yang is hospitability, light, manliness. Yin is cruel, gloomy, sexual characteristics. Yang is overly heaven, Yin earth. From the Yang push arises Shen, the celestial impart of the possible heart ; and from the Yin push arises Kwei, the worldly part. As a microcosm, man is overly in some tone a reconciler of the pairs of opposites. Paradise, man, and earth, form the three untouchable elements of the world, the San-tsai.
This image is an entirely old-fashioned memorandum, which we find banned in adjacent forms; as for justification in the West African myth everywhere Obatala and Odudua, the excel parents (heaven and earth) lie-together in a calabash, until a son, man, arises surrounded by them. Thus as a microcosm, uniting in himself the world-opposites, man corresponds with the mad symbol which reconciles psychological antitheses. This root-image of man distinctly accords with Schiller, just the once he calls the symbol "living form".
The totaling of the possible heart voguish a Schen or Kwan heart, and a Kwei (or Po) heart, is a fantastic psychological truth. This Chinese demo overly suggests the everyday stick in Faust:
"Two souls, discontentedly ! within my bosom holiday
One would from the other have a break.
The one in full source of pleasure of love
Clings with clutching organs to the world :
The other, violently, from worldly filth
Would stallion on high to the clannish fields."
The years of two laid back contending tendencies, every striving to drag man voguish supreme attitudes and entangle him in the world whether upon the spiritual or fabric squad thereby notice him at variance with himself, strain the years of a, counter-weight, which is quadrangle this mad fact, Tao. Thus the believer's kind impenetrability to inhabit in accord with Tao, lest he fall* voguish the be at variance of the opposites.
Such as Tao is an mad fact, it cannot be strategically achieved ; a fact which Lao-Tzu more often than not emphasizes. Wu-wei, fresh right Chinese construction, owes its firm magnitude to this royal. It signifies "operate oblivion", but, as Ular pertinently explains, it basic be rendered: "not-doing, and not operate oblivion".
The neutral " vote for to bring it about ", which is the splendor and the evil of our own calculate, does not lead to Tao. As a result the aim of the Taoistic ethic sets out to find release from that tear of the opposites which is an environmental things of the space, by a return to Tao. ~Carl Jung, Psychological Types, The Allotment Trouble in Poetry.

Live in the moment.
It goes by too fast.
Time waits for no one.
I know these things, I live these things every day. Every day I wonder how I got here. How my newborn baby girl is on the verge of middle school and how I don't have a baby in the house. That's who I am. The lady with all the kids. The one who is constantly having another baby, never without lots of little ones. And yet here I am without a baby. I clearly recall the days wondering if I will ever sleep through the night. Wondering if I will ever get a break from the constant need of little ones. And then here I am. I still don't sleep but I see the days suddenly passing by so quickly.
Those days and weeks that could seem endless and overwhelming are now flying by and I wonder where it went. Where did the past 12 years go? And what do I have to show for them?
I know I need to live in the moment, now more than ever. And yet I can't seem to do it.
I really struggle with stepping back and soaking it all in.
I struggle with slowing down and just being.
Relax? I am not sure I know how to do that anymore.
I am a go getter, a doer. I am at my best when I am accomplishing things.
But what if the one thing I am supposed to be accomplishing I am really failing at?
What if my biggest goal, the goal of being a good mom, is my biggest failure because I was too busy doing instead of being?
My husband is good at being in the moment. I admit there are times I look at him with envy and jealousy. Why can't I be that present? Why can't I turn my brain off and just be focused on that one task at hand, my kids. My multitasking is always in hyper drive and it's hard to turn off even though I want to.
I'd like to think there is hope and that I can change. I try every day, I get up with the goal of really soaking it in and I usually fail.
This year will be my year of relax and focus. My year of being present and really being. I do a lot of things, I think it is important to be involved with my kid's school, our church and our community. As I do those things I am going to try to focus on just those things. I have taken to carrying a pad and pen to write down things as they pop into my head as a way of acknowledging them and then regaining my focus. I am making a concerted effort to start my day not only in prayer but in reflection to help me find focus right when I wake up.
Day by day I am working on it because I really want to be that mom who is truly in the moment, present in every way. I know I can be her but until I am her it is killing me.
The hours are long but the days are fast…. never have truer words been written. This mom is going to soak in every minute of every hour, even if it kills her.

Champagne cork popping old school styleee.
Another shot from the days when 10' 8' cameras were used before digital had taken over and made film almost obsolete. I can't say as I miss this type of shoot as once you were in set then you couldn't move as polaroid after polaroid was taken and then the sheet film was used then another Polaroid to check things.
This was fully produced in camera the bottle had the bottom removed and a high pressure pump shot the water out at the cork that was fastened to the background by a wire.
The cork had a laser pointing at it and when the water moved the cork it fired the shutter capturing the shot.
If photgraphed today this would probably be done in seperate elements and put together in photoshop, the digital age has moved a lot of the workflow from pre to post production.
