This is Bharal Adventure from Kathmandu via Nepal. Excitement is a synonym of Adventure. A life without excitement is music without any moral. You won't know what life is really about until you know what excitement or adventure is. So, today through this blog post I would like to share an adventurous journey of Manaslu Circuit Trek in 14 days you can enjoy in Nepal.
Manaslu Circuit Trek in 14 days
This trek offers splendid vista of Mt. Manaslu (8,163m/26774ft), Annapurna I (8,091m / 26,545ft) Annapurna South (7,219m-23/693ft), Gangapurna (7,455m-24/457ft) and Annapurna III (7,555m/24787ft), including Mt. Machhapuchare (Fish-tail) at 6,997m/22950ft stretches up towards east massif Ganesh Himal or Yangra (7,422 m / 24,350 ft) with stunning sunrise in some of the high ridges of Manaslu adjoining peaks of this amazing landscapes, hills and valleys with lovely alpine forest full of rhododendron, pines, hemlock, and oaks tree lines in country. The trekking held in the places of Gurung, Magar, and Bhotes of Manaslu high region, one of ingenious high hills tribes of Nepal Midwest Himalaya which borders Nepal to Tibet at a close distance from Larkya Phedi and Samdo village.
The trekking starts from the small town of Soti Khola towards Machhakhola on the first day of walking. The ever-present Gandaki River makes your trip the friendship walk with the stream. The journey consists of the numerous crossing of the suspension bridges. The journey passes by the gorgeous villages of Jagat, Namrung, Deng, Samagaon and finally to Larke La Phedi. Furthermore, the sight of the Mt. Manaslu (8156m) which is the world's eighth tallest mountain could be an enthralling experience. The crossing of the Larke La Pass is the test of ultimate wilderness adventure in this trekking. If the pass is snow covered then it would present the feeling of mountaineering as well. After crossing the pass you will reach the Bimtang and eventually to Dharapani. The bus ride will take you to Besisahar of Lamjung eventually to Kathmandu and here your journey comes to the end.

Beryl Stokes shows how to make 'Smothered Potatoes' in this video. She begins by peeling the skin of 8 medium white potatoes. Next, she cuts a potato in half and thinly slices it. The same is done for the remaining potatoes. The potato slices are soaked in water to prevent them from turning red. Next, 3 tablespoons of softened butter is taken in a pan. Now 3 tablespoons of flour is added to the melted butter, a little at a time and the mixture is whisked well. Next, 2 cups of milk is added gradually to the pan and whisked nicely, to make white sauce. The mixture is cooked for 8 minutes. 8oz of sour cream is added to the white sauce and blended well. Next, a cup of shredded cheddar cheese is added to the sauce and mixed well. Some seasoning is added; along with finely cut green onions. The gas is turned off and the sliced potatoes are drained. Next, about half of the sliced potatoes are placed in a well greased baking dish. Half of the sauce is poured over the potatoes. Now the other half of the potatoes are put on top of this layer and completed by pouring the remaining sauce over them. The dish is then baked in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F, covered for 30 minutes. It is continued to be baked uncovered for 30 minutes. Delicious smothered potatoes are now ready to be relished!

Rock Phosphate Mining
In India the economy being predominantly based on agriculture, the fertilizer production plays a pivotal role.
Only about 35% to 40% of the requirement of raw material for phosphatic fertilizer production is being met through indigenous sources and the rest is met through import in the form of rock phosphate, phosphoric acid & direct fertilizers. With reserves of around 305 million MT, India is yet to find its true potential in this sector.
Anik with a well endowed team of experts and professionals has taken initiative with 'First-In-Time' priority applications over known bearing areas, to pursue and develop these reserves adding to there optimal utilization.

Katori Shinto Ryu
The Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu is a classical style of swordsmanship that was founded in 1447 by a man named Iizasa Chosai Ienao. It consists of a number of different skills such as sword, staff, halberd, spear and the combined use of the long and short sword.
The style that is practiced at Winchester is that of the Sugino style, with the current head instructor being Yukihiro Sugino based in Kawasaki, Japan. Yukihiro Sugino inherited the dojo from his father Yoshio Sugino.
The instructors at the Winchester dojo have been taught both by Sugino sensei and some of his top European students in France, Switzerland and the UK.
A typical session will include the practice of maki-uchi, the distinctive cutting style associated with the school. It will progress onto yoko-men-uchi, cutting from the side with the sword while moving off the line of attack.
The above picture was taken of a student of ours wearing reproduction Samurai armour in our dojo; the image then had a little post production tweaking.
Photo Courtesy of Mark Allenmedia.
Katori practice between students is done with wooden weapons (as below); katana are only used in Iaido training (sword drawing and cutting kata). Safety is always a primary concern of ours.
We currently work with four weapons: Bokken, Bo-staff, Naginata and Iaito
All Katori lessons involve training with Bokken (wooden sword)
If you are interested in learning more about this faciniating martial art, please complete the short contact form below:
The images below were taken from a typical Katori lesson, using the bokken.

We recently had the opportunity to train at the Bishop of Winchester's Palace. Please don't get too excited at this prospect as it is very unusual!

Pay it Forward May is a month long campaign initiated by the Winkler Community Foundation and the Morden Area Foundation to encourage good deeds throughout our community.
Pay it Forward is at the core of what we do as a Community Foundation so we thought it would be good to get the entire city involved!
Part of the beauty of this initiative is that it doesn't have to cost a cent.
While we are blessed to live in such amazing communities and schools where so much kind-heartedness happens every day, we hope that people will slow down just a little and recognize when someone does something nice for them. And, then hopefully they will pay that thoughtfulness forward. By doing so, our communities become better places to live, work and play!
Printable material to help with the campaign
Also Available: (please contact the Foundation office for these)
♦ Digital PIF screen shot
♦ Digital PIF Banner
♦ PIF stickers
♦ PIF may Calandars
Share Pay It Forward stories with us by sending them here, or on Instagram payitforwardmay or Facebook at Winkler Community Foundation, #PIFMAY, tag the Winkler Community Foundation and help inspire others.
Spread the word. If the person thanks you and wants to "repay" you (that is, pay it "back"), let them know that what you'd really like is for them to pay it "forward"—you'd like them to do something nice for someone, and ask those people to do something nice for more people. The idea is to consciously increase the kindness in the community.
Even small acts, such as paying for the person coffee in the drive through in the car behind you when you pay for your own, counts. If it makes the world a friendlier place, you succeeded!
To learn more: Pay it forward May
Research shows: * Kindness is contagious. * Kindness increases group cohesion and employee engagement. * It's a great team-building opportunity. * A great way to thank clients. * It teaches kids to appreciate those around them. * It involves and empowers everyone. * It builds community and helps keep Winkler a great place to live.

Support is good but face-to-face fantastic. Location spectacular hotel lovely and comfortable.
Beer and wine tour a real wow factor. But the ezyvet staff were easily the best factor - just amazing."

Hawaiʻi Island police have released a Kailua-Kona woman who was arrested early Monday in connection with a domestic dispute that sent a man to the hospital in critical condition.
On Tuesday afternoon (June 23), after conferring with prosecutors, detectives from the Area II Criminal Investigations Section released 18-year-old Synise Santos, who was being held at the Kona police cellblock, pending further investigation.
A 20-year-old Kailua-Kona man was taken to Kona Community Hospital late Sunday (June 21) with a laceration to his left forearm. He was later transferred to Kaiser Medical Center on Oahu, where he remains in critical condition.
At 10:05 p.m. Sunday (June 21), Kona Patrol officers were at Kona Community Hospital for an unrelated case when the man arrived in a private vehicle and was taken to the emergency room.
Investigation revealed that he had received the injury during a domestic altercation at a home on Awakea Street in Kailua-Kona.
Shortly after midnight, officers arrested Santos at the scene on suspicion of first-degree assault and abuse of a family/household member.
Detectives are continuing the investigation.

Today I wish I had eight arms, five ears, seven eyes, six feet and two mouths. The baby is exerting her will and her voice today. The three-year-old is whining. My house is chaos. But here I am, sitting at my computer for some "me" time. I'm starting to feel a bit guilty about making any time for "me" during the day. And yet, if I don't, I feel so burnt out. How do you balance raising a young family, or working, or whatever, and making sure you stay on top of things?
No matter how much I wish for more though, God purposefully only gave me two arms, two legs, two ears, two eyes and one mouth. God, let me be enough for what you've given me. Help me to use my time wisely. When the three-year-old is screaming at me to look at something while I'm trying to back out of the driveway, and the eleven month old is crying because she dropped her toy, and the cell phone starts ringing, and I realize that I didn't take out the trash (again), and oh yeah, I forgot to email so-and so . . . God, you. are. enough. Let me be the grown up here. Let me be more than the grown up here. Let me die to self and pluck a feather for my nest as Ann Voskamp would say. Let me hear more than needs and cries and demands for attention, let me hear voices calling for cups of water. Let my mouth hold back the aggravation, the sighs, and demands for my own sanity. Let me speak gently, calling forth the fledgling souls sprouting inside their own cultivating demands. Let my own demands for quiet, peace, solitude, time, order and success be stilled in hush of your voice saying,
"Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it."
"He gives strength to the weary."
"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will
certainly not lose their reward."
Christ, come, bring life to my limits.

Waxed Cotton June 01 2017, 0 Comments
I ordered this new line out of Africa.
Since it was a newer line I was a bit hesitant as I didn't
know how the fit would be.
I gotta tell you - I've literally worn this dress 5 times in the last month.
The fit is amazing. Truly.
The fabric is waxed cotton - I have washed and dried it - it has come out
beautifully. Super excited to have this in store!

"Fleur McDonald imbues Red Dust with the authentic flavour of one who knows both the soul-destroying struggles and the exquisite joys of making a living from the land…"
Red Dust
Published: 1st March 2010
"From the wool-greased floors of the shearing shed to the surging creeks 'coming down' after a sudden storm, Fleur McDonald writes about a life and a country she knows from the inside out."
Tessa Wooldridge
Book Synopsis
After the death of her husband, Adam, in a horrific plane crash, Gemma Sinclair defies community expectations – and Adam's dying words – by taking on the daunting task of managing the 100,000-hectare station he bequeathed her.
As if Gemma's grief and looking after Billbinya Station aren't enough, a wave of innuendo sweeps the community that Adam's death was no accident.
Struggling to uncover the truth of these rumours while battling to keep Billbinya afloat, Gemma wonders if she'll ever find peace – or love – again.
Book Trailer
"Red Dust is a beautifully written novel which pulls together Australia's harsh bush lifestyle, the wonderful people who make this country and their never ending determination to succeed.
Fleur McDonald has set herself a high standard for a new Australian author, Red Dust is a novel which will entice readers to want more from a talented engaging writer."
David Cairns
"Fleur McDonald has written a fresh warmhearted story that captures the actual spirit of the land. A very enjoyable read. I could not put the book down and look forward to her second novel on the bookshelves."
Anne Webb
"… Red Dust is an inspirational story about a strong woman dealing with adversity. She is one of the most asset-rich young women in the district, but is buffeted by a myriad of dilemmas that would bring most people unstuck. The qualities that see Gemma through her annus horribilis are the best of bush life: the loyalty of friends and family, along with her innate honesty and pragmatism. It's satisfying to read a straight-talking yarn in an authentic setting that doesn't shy away from the big issues of contemporary life on the land."
RM Williams Outback Magazine

Events and things to do during the ...
You can still live a little with many events and things to do without leaving home
|Indian Tapas & Bar
Mon–Sun: Midday–11pm
|+27 (0)21 433 0542
|Shop 6, La Rhone, 77 Regent Road, Sea Point
|Seelan | Restaurant | Bar
If your Saturdays are reserved for socialising with friends over lazy lunches that flow into dinner by way of sunset drinks, then you're going to want to discover Sundoo South Indian Tapas and Bar located on Sea Point's Regent Road strip.
Let's be honest. You have to choose your Saturday lunch venue very carefully. It's not like weekdays. Saturday lunches have a sneaky way of turning into sunset drinks and dinner without you even noticing. So a vibrant location is key from the get-go.
And you don't get much cooler than Sundoo on Regent Road, with its unique blend of shoppers, promenaders, tourists and beachgoers adding their energy to the Sea Point mix. On Saturdays, Sundoo really soaks it all up, adding its own mix of exotic spices, local flavours and downright delicious South Indian inspired dishes that just keep on coming. And coming.
At Sundoo, the kitchen is a lot like Sea Point. It never stops cooking, especially on Saturdays when lunches blend into dinner by way of cocktails, some of which come served with a kick of chilli. True, the crowd and dishes change, but the energy just keeps on building, especially at sunset when people queue at the bar and on the pavement just to be part of the Sundoo Saturday scene.
Even queueing feels more like socialising at Sundoo, where the music is as much a drawcard as chef and owner Seelan's lamb curry, duck briyani and wok-fried squid heads served tapas style.
Sundoo's food is simple and fuss-free, offering a range of South-Indian-inspired, Durban-styled dishes that focus on flavour and encourage table sharing and tapas-style tastings.
Lunches are light and offer plenty of opportunities to share dishes with smaller portions. Lunchtime specialities include Thalis, which serve up small portions of curries and sambals on one plate. And the roti wraps, which turn bigger curry dishes into lighter lunchtime options.
Most of the vegetarian dishes, like the bean curry and clay oven-roasted vegetables, are also vegan, with no animal products or cream included in the preparation. And everything is made from scratch, from Seelan's secret spices to the hand-rolled samosas and homemade pickles and chutneys. Oh, and did we mention the kitchen is Halaal-friendly? There's no pork and beef prepared or served here. In fact, all the meat products at Sundoo come from a local, Halal-certified butcher.
Sundoo is all about Saturdays that blend day with night, cultures with curries and the street energy with a beat that celebrates every sunset like it was a rare and special event. If that's your vibe, then Sundoo will be your new favourite local. Even on Sundays.
The Bill: Tapas and starters range R40–R80. Mains cost R95–R170. Desserts range R40–R60. And Sundoo has a fully licensed bar offering a wide selection of wines, cocktails and ciders with two craft beers on tap.
Capacity: The restaurant seats 42 people. Sundoo can be hired out at a fixed rate/minimum spend

Skin Care & Eye Care
It is surprising to see males spending lots of money visiting the gyms to tone up their skin and develop their muscles, and females following the same method by visiting beauty parlours to get their skin treated, but not spending time to get their skin checked by a dermatologist. The chemicals contained in the creams and lotions applied in beauty parlours contain chemicals that might be harmful to their skin. Males take supplements to help them develop rippling muscles without knowing that most such supplements contain steroids that are harmful to their body in the long run. If this is not enough, there are countless cases of people squinting while reading the newspapers or while watching the TV. They do not realise that they are suffering from short-sightedness or long-sightedness. If they do not visit the ophthalmologist immediately and get their eye problems treated through several methods, their viewing problems might increase. On a typical basis, the ophthalmologist uses optical equipment to check the cornea of the suffering person to determine whether he has myopia or hyperopia.

Once the ophthalmologist has determined the cause, he will discuss the problem with his patient and offer to fix the issue by either prescribing spectacles or contact lenses. If the patient so demands, the eye specialist can cure his eye-related problems through surgical procedures such as phaco surgery. This is a permanent cure for vision-related problems and ensures that the person will not have to wear reading glasses or contact lenses.
Why is skincare important
Skincare is extremely important as skin disorders can lead to a wide variety of other ailments. Basking in the sunshine for a short period is fine. However, exposing the skin to extremely bright sunshine can lead to sunburns. Using too much makeup can clog the pores on the outer layers of the skin (dermis) and prevent sweat from cleaning it naturally. After some time dirt and grime choke the miniscule holes. There is a buildup of bacteria on the surface of the skin due to this and can lead to various types of skin ailments. However, cleaning the skin with mild soap and warm water at the end of the day helps remove remnants of makeup. The warm water enlarges the skin pores, facilitating the cleansing process. Healthy skin also prevents the formation of lines and creases on the skin and allows individuals to maintain their youthful looks for many years. Seek the help of a dermatologist. He or she will examine your skin and prescribe medications to fix problems in it and ensure that it remains healthy.
Why is eye care important?
Are you aware that several eye diseases, if not treated in time, can cause to suffer from permanent blindness? If you have vision problems, visit an eye specialist and seek his help to fix the problem. Taking this action at an early stage ensures that you can recover from your eye-related problem quickly. On many instances, the ophthalmologist might just recommend you to administer eye drops. In case of serious issues, you might have to opt for glasses or undergo phaco surgery.

Northernplains Lending | Need money advance?. Drop by Today.
What You Need To Know About Payday Advances
You do not need to be frightened about a Northernplains Lending . You can get these loans without future worries, as long as you're informed about them. This article is going to answer your payday loan concerns.
A payday loan is sometimes the only financial option left available to people. If you're able to avoid it, do so. Payday advances are a resource you might want to consider when you're in a financial bind.
Make sure you select your payday loan carefully. You should consider how long you are given to pay back the loan and what the interest rates are like before choosing your payday loan. See what your best options are and then make your selection in order to save money.
No matter what, only get one payday loan at a time. DO not get more than one payday loan or apply to several at once. You are going to position yourself to never be able to pay back the money you have borrowed; creating an ongoing cycle of debt.
If you must take out a payday loan even though there aren't any lenders in your area, you might have to go to the closest state line. It may be possible to go to another state that allows cash advance loans and apply for a bridge loan in that state. And, since most loans are recovered electronically, you will only have to make one trip.
Make sure that you only use a payday loan if you truly have no other options. These loans come with a heavy interest rates, which can put you in a tough position. Often, companies invite you not to pay back these loans until they are so far out of control that there is no way to pay them back.
If you have to take out a payday loan, make sure you read any and all fine print associated with the loan. If there are penalties associated with paying off early, it is up to you to know them up front. If there is anything that you do not understand, do not sign.
Be sure that your work history makes you qualified to receive a payday loan. Many payday lenders will require a stable income source or a job history in order to qualify for a loan. Bring proof of your employment, such as pay stubs, when you are applying.
When you are looking for a payday loan company, be sure that you check out several business before settling on one. If you compare the fees and interest percentages, you will find that they differ from company to company. Make sure that they are not compensating for lower interest, by charging extra fees in some other way.
When taking out a payday loan, it is important that you do your research. You do not want to blindly believe an advertisement, because you are not getting the entire story. Talk to other people who have taken out this type of loan, or read some of the company reviews on the Internet.
At their best, cash advances are a two step process. The first part is usually easy. Getting a loan initially to take care of your needs, and emergency. The trickier part is exiting the situation in such a way as to not create a debt cycle, or the next emergency. Keep the advice and ideas in this article in mind, to minimize the hassle, and burden of your Northernplains Lending experience.

How much is Damien Hirst worth?
Jeff Koons Net Worth
Another art millionaire is Jeff Koons, with a fortune estimated at $500 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His series Hanging Heart made him famous, and one of the pieces from that series was purchased by renowned gallery owner and collector, Larry Gagosian for $23.6 million.
Jasper Johns has a fortune of $300 million dollars, according to Bloomberg-Businessweek, a staggering figure when you consider he is the only living artist that sells only paintings, but according to Wealth-X, Johns has a net worth of $210 million. His work White Flag was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for $20 million, an amount far exceeded by his work False Start, sold in 2006 for $80 million to collectors Anne and Kenneth Griffin.
At just 35 years of age, David Choe is also considered one of the richest artists. The interesting fact about this case is the origin of his revenues: nothing less than the social network Facebook, from which he has managed to earn $200 million, according to an interview with Barbara Walters for ABC's Nightline. In 2011, Choe created the murals at company's headquarters, a job for which he had the option to collect in cash or in shares. He chose to be paid in shares, and his fortune probably will multiply in the coming years. According to Wealth-X, his net assets total $100 million.
Just like Koons, Takashi Murakami was an unknown artist in Tokyo until he became an art celebrity that today employs 100 people. His fortune is valued at $100 million, according to Bloomberg-Businessweek. There is no doubt that he owes his meteoric rise to his work, but his collaborations with hip-hop stars Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, have certainly increased his bank account.
Wealthiest Artists
And what is the general data on the wealthiest artists? According to Artprice, which analyzes in detail the results of auction sales by contemporary artists, the wealth trend is changing.
This source claims contemporary art, meaning the production by artists born after 1945, is moving from Europe and the U.S. to Asia, with China leading the money trail, followed distantly by Japan. According to their data, of the 500 artists listed, 199 are Chinese, 86 Americans, 31 British, 27 Germans, 14 Japanese, 9 French and 7 Koreans, among other nationalities.
These figures invite reflection. Is the most expensive art always the best? Are prices and quality at odds? Would we pay the same amount for a work of similar characteristics from a stranger? Think and answer yourself. Each response is unique, personal and nontransferable and above all, free. ■

Four Month Sleep Regression
Baby Sleep Consultant: My Guide to The Four Month Sleep Regression
Hello, Tara here from The Gentle Sleep Specialist.
I frequently receive questions about the dreaded 4 month sleep regression, so here are my thoughts on this time in your little one's life.
Read: What is the Four Month Sleep Regression?
The 4 month mark is such a wonderful time. Your baby will be interacting more and more with you, and you should hopefully be seeing a settle in any wind and colic issues. However, there is also often a not-so-pleasant side to the 4 month milestone – a spike in night time waking and day time catnapping. Some parents may have blissfully drifted through the newborn period with a near perfect sleeping baby, or for others sleep may have been near extinct from day dot. Regardless of how the first few months went, it seems the four month sleep regression can get the best of us.
At 3-4 Months your baby's sleep has a developmental leap
Around the 3-4 month mark, your little one's sleep has a developmental leap, so instead of sleep being a constant state, it becomes dynamic. This means your baby will begin to have sleep stages, essentially they will cycle between light and deep phases of sleep. Most sleep cycles in the evening last between 60-120 minutes and at the end of these cycles they have a brief wake period. Their day sleep also becomes organised into sleep cycles and these tend to be around 45 minutes in length. Then we pair that with a greater awareness they're developing and sleep becomes a much more conscious activity.
So here's the deal. Some little ones are able to adjust to this change and settle back into good sleep patterns. Though for many it's not the case. If your little one is being put to sleep by external measures such as a dummy, rocking or feeding, this reliance may be highlighted now that they are waking more often. So instead of your little one waking and having the ability to self-settle back into the next cycle, they may wake and realise something is missing, something has changed, or they aren't in the same spot they were when they fell asleep. As a result, you will promptly get a call out to come and fix the situation. I always say to my clients: if your little one doesn't have the ability to self-settle at the beginning of their sleep cycle how can we possibly expect them to re-settle throughout the night?
Contribute to great sleeping before and after the 4 month age mark
Do not despair! There are many things that contribute to great sleep during, before and after the 4 month mark, and here they are.
What does your little one believe they need in order to get to sleep?
The way your little one settles off to sleep is essential in their ability to sleep well. If you are required in any way to get your babe off to sleep even by replacing the dummy in between cycles or rocking, feeding etc, then this can be exacerbated at the 4 month mark. Have you ever noticed your baby seems to sleep lightly? You wouldn't dare try and transfer them, stop rocking, or god forbid that dummy falls out. It isn't just about the quantity of sleep your little one is getting it's about the quality.
Changing what they associate with getting off to sleep and encouraging them to use their own abilities (the ones they are born with) means they will get into better, deeper sleep and have a far easier time drifting between cycles. Creating healthy sleep habits that include your little one self-settling (without the dummy) will allow you to breeze through the four month mark.
At four months your babe should really only have awake periods of around 1.5 hours. This may vary from child to child however regular opportunities to sleep are still essential for successful settles and great sleep. The more over-tired your little one is, the harder time they will have getting into a good sleep pattern.
"your little one will teeth for up to 2 ½ years, so it's a long road to go down should you associate it with sleeping poorly"
To swaddle or not to swaddle?
Around the four month mark, your little one will be ready to start transitioning out of a swaddle. I recommend taking one arm out for a few days and then the other arm out after that. It may take a few days of flailing and uncoordinated arm movements but this will mature and settle down with a few days practice.
Nearly every client I have ever worked with has at some point blamed or been told their little one's sleep issues are due to teething… but then went on to get sleep sorted and realise it had nothing to do with it. Teething can be the cause of a bad night here and there, but it should be very seldom and it doesn't normally last more than a couple of nights. Around the 3-4 month mark your little one will begin to put everything in his/her mouth. This is how they learn, they aren't yet adept to using their fingers well enough so when they grab things and want to investigate further they will put that object into their mouth to learn more. Baby's mouths have more nerve endings per square millimetre than any other part of their body, so if they want to learn more about an object they will place them in their mouth. Around the 4 month mark, people often see little ones dribbling more, putting everything into their mouth, and at the same time see a spike in waking, and mistakenly contribute it all to teething. Just remember your little one will teeth for up to 2 ½ years, so it's a long road to go down should you associate it with sleeping poorly.
In Summary
No matter the stage your little one is at, it's very easy to get into a blame game – teething, leaps, regressions, rainy weeks and so on. It doesn't have to be the case. Good sleep is still achievable for a significant majority of the time.
Happy sleeping x

Her first novel, The Storm of London: A Social Rhapsody (1904), casually conflates sf and fantasy tropes in its depiction of a London where, after a giant storm, all fabrics have been permanently destroyed, including clothing and books. Paying no attention to the Sex-related implications of universal nakedness, the tale focuses instead on the gradual creation of a Utopia freed of the shackles of class. But the protagonist, a young peer disgruntled by twentieth-century hedonism, has been caught in a fever dream; and awakens to the old world, though his fiancée, having listened to him in his delirium, has become a wiser woman.

What The Client Wanted
Our most recent client had not had their commercial property looked at for more than five years. The client noticed there was a significant amount of damage to their windows, external doors and roller shutters. The client was looking for something that would treat the windows and doors to save having to have them replaced in the future.
What We Did
Before we started any of the work Elevation Maintenance carried out an on site audit, this was to help identify any additional repairs that needed to be made. We wanted to ensure the commercial property was left in immaculate condition after the project, so it was imperative all of the damage was inspected beforehand.
Our spraying technicians chose to use a Bromoco treatment for this project; the client had a significant amount of anodised steel and window frames located around the building with deteriorating materials. The Bromoco treatment is used as it prevents the paintwork and coatings from being affected by UV Lights which cause fading of colour, it is also exceptionally water resistant making it the perfect coating to be applied to any external parts of a commercial property.

2019 has come and gone within the blink of an eye. We were spoilt for choice in entertainment last year with more streaming services being developed, quality films being produced, and a slew of compelling books to add to our tbr's. It's hard to keep track of them all, but here are some of my favourites that I read/watched in 2019.
As many of you know, 2019 was not the best reading year. However, instead of focusing on the number of books read, I'm choosing to look at the quality of the books. Two books, in particular, stood out for their creativity, characters, and intricate world-building.
Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
Laini Taylor has a way with words that will leave you feeling enchanted. Strange the Dreamer, while slow to begin with, is an example of just how vivid and creative Taylor's writing is. Strange the Dreamer is a lot of things, but at the heart of the book, you have a tale of a community shadowed by their history. Weep is a character in itself as the city is overshadowed by the constant reminder of their desperation and the destruction that followed. Both humans and monsters alike were victims of such brutality. Yet, hope remains as Lazlo Strange comes to understand the consequences of the atrocities committed in Weep, and his compassion could be that bridge that unites the occupants of Weep. This is a book that will sweep you off your feet. Continue reading

On July 18, 2018, the Iowa Court of Appeals affirmed a trial court judgment declaring a testator's will invalid on the grounds of lack of testamentary capacity and undue influence and finding her son liable for intentional tortious interference with a bequest. This case again highlights a tort that made news last year when a brother won $1.5 million in damages against his sisters for turning their parents against him.
The testator had three children, two sons and a daughter. She died in 2015, having executed two wills – one in 2010 and one in 2011. The 2010 will divided her estate equally among her three children. The 2011 will left most of her estate (including all of her farm ground) to her son Wayne.
Shortly after the 2011 will was drafted, the other two children petitioned for the appointment of a guardian and conservator for their mother. In response, Wayne had a codicil to the 2011 drafted that would reimburse him "at the rate of $1,500 per hour" if anyone contested the will. His mother signed the codicil two days before the guardianship hearing and granted Wayne power of attorney over her affairs the day before the hearing.
At the hearing, medical evidence showed that the mother had "moderate to severe" Alzheimer's. The court ordered Wayne's brother to serve as the mother's guardian and named a bank as her conservator.
After the mother's death, Wayne's brother filed a petition to probate the 2010 will, and the court admitted the will to probate. Two months later, Wayne filed a petition to set aside the probate of the 2010 will and to declare that the 2011 will should be administered and probated. The sister and her children filed a counterclaim against Wayne for tortious interference with a bequest.
The trial court ruled that the 2011 will was invalid due to undue influence and lack of testamentary capacity. The court also found that Wayne was liable to his sister and her children for tortious interference with a bequest. The brother was ordered to pay all estate attorney fees from his share of the estate.
On appeal, Wayne argued that the trial court merely found that he exerted undue influence over his mother and that a finding of undue influence was insufficient to support liability for intentional interference with a bequest.
The court agreed that undue influence was not coextensive with tortious interference, but found that the trial court's detailed factual findings were equivalent to a finding of "fraud, duress, or other tortious means" necessary to prove a claim of intentional interference with a bequest. The court ruled that substantial evidence supported the finding, including the following:
The court found that the court properly awarded damages to the sister and her children in the form of attorney fees for the intentional interference with an inheritance claim.
The court next turned to the $47,880.93 in attorney fees that the trial court awarded to the executor. The court upheld the award, finding that the record was replete with evidence of "bad faith" on the part of Wayne. The court explained that a trial court is granted considerable discretion to tax fees under IRC § 633.315 to an objector acting in bad faith.
In affirming the trial court's conclusion that the 2011 will was invalid due to lack of testamentary capacity and undue influence, the court stated, "No useful purpose would be served by summarizing the extensive evidence supporting the district court's findings."
To prevail on a claim of intentional interference with an inheritance, a party need show "fraud, duress, or other tortious means intentionally used by the alleged wrongdoer in depriving another from receiving from a third person an inheritance or gift." Huffey v. Lea, 491 N.W.2d 518, 521 (Iowa 1992). The tort offers relief if there is no valid will to fall back upon or where, as here, the intended beneficiary suffers other damages, such as attorney fees. With several recent Iowa litigants having success with this tort at the appellate level, we may see an increase in its use. Unfortunately, there's never a shortage of intra-family litigation.
The case was In the Matter of the Estate of Erickson, No. 17-0430 (Iowa Ct. App. July 18, 2018).

Tacos La Bala
Price Scale
The original Tacos La Bala was a taco truck on a shipping wharf in Tampico, Mexico. That truck is long gone, but the Houston chain has grown to eight locations. Each has terrific tacos, but don't miss the cochinita pibil torta here. The Mexican sandwich comes on a toasted telera roll topped with shredded, slow-cooked pork swimming in a spicy orange sauce flavored with achiote, orange and lime juice, habanero peppers, and coriander—all topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and crumbly Mexican white cheese and a large slice of ham. A stupendous sandwich, and large enough to split with a friend.

Tasteful Gucci Fragrances
Gucci is an Italian fashion company based out of Florence, Italy. The company was founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci. The products range today anywhere from handbags, to shoes and to fragrance.
Gucci Flora is a floral fragrance, appropriately named. It is a brand new perfume for women, and combines elements of the designer's glamorous past and spontaneous present. It is inspired by Gucci's famous Flora pattern, which was designed onto a scarf for Princess Grace of Monaco in 1966. This is the first time such a style debuts in black and white.
The perfume itself is made of Rose and Osmanthus flowers from China. The Rose brings out light and fruity flavor, complimented by the stronger, velvety Osmanthus. It also includes fresh citrus and peony, which are more fresh. It is topped off with Sandalwood and Patchouli, which are then more deep and heavy. It is quite the sophisticated scent.
The Flora bottle has a hexagonal shape of glass, along with a black ribbon tied into a bow, as well as a gold logo with Guccio Gucci's signature.
Purchase: Sephora. It retails for $52-$90, depending on size.
Gucci's Envy Me is a less epic, more up-front fragrance that grabs people's attention. It comes in a cute, tall, thin, pink bottle. Very pop-art looking!
Envy Me combines a scent of seasonal peony, jasmine and pink pepper. It is accented with notes of sweet litchi, pomegranate, pineapple, as well as white tea and warming woods. It combines such scents of fruit and flowers from far East and tropical places, perfect for standing out. Envy Me can be soft and feminine, or flirty and girly, depending on what you wear it with.
Purchase: Sephora. It retails for $45-$85, depending on size.
Samuel Adams' Utopia
Samuel Adams' Utopias are one of the most expensive beers in the world, and also the strongest. This beer is strong, rich and dark, has almost no carbonation and should be savored. It is made by the Boston Brew Company that took the brand name of one of America's founding members, Samuel Adams. Mr. Adams himself was supposedly a brewer!
Samuel Adams Utopia is brewed with all four kinds of Noble hops, giving it an herbal, earthly taste. They use a variety of yeast, such as the kind used in champagne. It has been aged in Scotch, Cognac and Port barrels. They are packaged into collectible copper-finished brew kettle decanter, resembling antique beer. Because of this unique brewing and packaging, this beer tastes more like vintage Port, Cognac or sherry.
It is 54 proof, so you can definitely taste the alcohol, and it tastes warm without any residual burn. Its taste resembles caramel, cherry, vanilla, dark fruits and even wood. It has been reviewed as overpowering, yet pleasant. It is meant for people to sip, not to gulp, and is very thick. Many think it has more of a smell than a taste, and its smell resembles fine whiskey. It leaves a strong, dry, enjoyable aftertaste.
This is a collector's item. Each bottle is individually serialized. It retailed for $100 per bottle, but you can buy it from individuals for an assorted variety of prices.
Purchase: eBay, Internet Wines (temporarily out of stock). You must be over 21 to buy it.

Green Luxury
Today's obsession with all things "green" has spilled into every market, including luxury items. There are all types of products from bed linens to table wine that are produced in a way that is better for our health and better for our environment. But which products are the best?
Here is a list of the "greenest" and most luxurious products for 2009:
Eco Friendly Chocolates:
Chocolates from Life is Sweet are truly an indulgence worth making. Each piece looks like art and tastes like heaven. With flavors like Ethiopian Coffee and Peach Blossom you can't mistake these divine sweets. The best part? The chocolates are USDA certified organic and Fair trade certified. Your waistline may not thank you, but the planet will!
Skincare That Cares For The Earth:
Treat yourself to the best in skincare with Mod.Skin products. This line of skin care products is crafted with your skin and the earth's health as top priorities. The products are all made without the dreaded phthalates and parabens we all detest and have no synthetic dyes or detergents. The fresh, clean scents and unique ingredients are all endlessly researched by the very knowledgeable founder. What's even better is that Mod.Skin uses minimal packaging and does not test on animals. Now isn't that worth the indulgence?
Organic Cotton Bed Linens:
Rest in luxury also knowing you are doing a good deed in LUMA's organic pima cotton bed linens. The gorgeous colors and soft feel will send you off to sleep in style while you dream of all the good you're doing the world. LUMA uses only organic cotton farmed using natural and safe processes that protect the health of the surrounding community. Luxury with a conscience!
Socially Responsible Candles:
And if all these good deeds haven't soothed your soul, cheer yourself with an uplifting scent. NEOM Luxury Organics provides the perfect solution with the Brazilian Orange Blossom candle. This scent is known to lift the spirit and calm the nerves. The best part about NEOM candles is that they are 100% organic and have none of the harmful chemicals or nasty paraffin found in lesser candles. What a bright idea!
Luxury Gifts
Ever seen this logo before? If not, you should read on.
If you're not familiar with some high end luxury market, names such as Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Prada may seem prestigious. Granted, they are nice-however, spend some time looking through the smaller, individual boutiques and one will soon realize that luxury extends much further than household name brands (such as the ones I mentioned before) into the realm of branding that only the most savvy spenders know of. If you're looking for a gift and you'd like to impress, intrigue and surprise the lucky recipient, then here are a few brand names you may want to consider.
1. Breitling - While not as mysterious as some brands, instead of the typical Tag Heuer or Rolex timepiece, consider a Breitling. With aviation inspired design, these Swiss masterpieces are not as common and lead to great conversation. Beware of internet sales, as the company has had increasing numbers of fraud watch sales.
2. Waterford Crystal - Never heard of them? Well if you need some dinner plates or accents, they may have just what you need. What's their resume like? Nothing major, just the creation of the New York New Year's Eve Ball.
3. J. Mendel - Notorious for their fine fur, Gilles Mendel has also branched into the creation of exclusive and high-end evening dresses, which are all hand crafted, meaning that no two will ever be exactly alike.
4. Jacques Torres - Available either online or from their retail store located in New York, "Mr. Chocolate" offers a luxurious gift idea that is an alternative to the more commonly known Godiva. Worth a look if sweets are your thing, and most likely will be earning you some brownie points. Pun intended.
Heritage Professional BBQ Grill Set
Need a good gift idea? If he or she is a griller, you'll want to check this out! The Heritage Professional Stainless Steel BBQ Tools Set contains everything you will need to go BAM! like Emeril. The set comes with a grill light (which attaches to the side of your grill), 3-in-1 waiter's corkscrew, spatula, tongs, fork, knife, basting brush, two skewers, cleaning brush with scraper, and a Super-Bright Chef's Fork. The computerized chef's fork is pretty cool. It has a spotlight and built-in thermometer with 16 "doneness" levels for cooking meats perfectly.
I find it annoying when I see rust on cooking utensils, luckily the BBQ tools are rust resistant, and are also easy to clean. The included tools have extra long rosewood handles to protect you from grilling your hands. I always enjoy cooking and not getting burned, because I find that getting burned can be very painful. I wish all kitchen utensils would have extra long rosewood handles. The tools are heat resistant, and are cleanly stored away in the provided molded case.
Wall Street Journal even named it the best overall BBQ tool set.

Internet freedom declining as use grows
A young Tunisian discovering that his blog has been hacked and deleted. An Indonesian housewife suddenly facing high fines for an e-mail she sent to friends complaining about a local hospital. Millions of users in Pakistan discovering that Facebook has been shut off. These are some of the restrictions on Internet freedom that users around the world have encountered in the last two years.
Indeed, as more people use the Internet to freely communicate and obtain information, governments have ratcheted up efforts to control it. Today, more than 2 billion people have access to the Internet, a number that has more than doubled in the past five years. Deepening Internet penetration is particularly evident in the developing world, where declining subscription costs, government investments in infrastructure, and the rise of mobile technology has allowed the number of users to nearly triple since 2006.
In order to better understand the diverse, rapidly evolving threats to Internet freedom, Freedom House, a Washington, D.C., NGO that conducts research on political freedom, has undertaken an analysis - the first of its kind - of the ways in which governments in 37 key countries create obstacles to Internet access, limit digital content and violate users' rights. What we found was that Internet freedom in a range of countries, both democratic and authoritarian, is declining. Emboldened governments and their sympathizers are increasingly using technical attacks to disrupt political activists' online networks, eavesdrop on their communications and debilitate their websites. Such attacks were reported in at least 12 countries, ranging from China to Russia, Tunisia to Burma, Iran to Vietnam. In Belarus, at the height of controversial elections, the authorities created mirror versions of opposition websites, diverting users to the new ones, where deliberately false information on the times and locations of protests were posted. In Tunisia, in the run-up to the January 2011 uprising that drove the regime from power, the authorities regularly broke into the e-mail, Facebook and blogging accounts of opposition and human rights activists, either deleting specific material or simply collecting intelligence about their plans.
Governments around the world increasingly are establishing mechanisms to block what they deem to be undesirable information. In many cases, the restrictions apply to content involving illegal gambling, child pornography, copyright infringement or the incitement of hatred or violence. However, a large number of governments are also engaging in deliberate efforts to block access to information related to politics, social issues and human rights. In Thailand, tens of thousands of websites critical of the monarchy have been blocked. In China - in addition to blocking dissident websites - user discussions and blog postings revealing tainted-milk products, pollution or torture are deleted.
Centralized government control over a country's connection to international Internet traffic also emerged as one significant threat to online free expression. In one-third of the states examined, authorities have exploited their control over infrastructure to limit access to politically and socially controversial content or, in extreme cases, cut off access to the Internet entirely, as Hosni Mubarak's government did in Egypt during the height of the protests there.
Until recently, the conventional assumption has been that Internet freedom would inexorably improve, given the technology's diffuse and open structure. But this assumption was premature. Our findings should serve as an early warning sign to defenders of free expression.
Sanja Kelly, managing editor, and Sarah Cook, assistant editor, at Freedom House produced "Freedom on the Net: A Global Assessment of Internet and Digital Media," a 2011 report. It will be released today at the World Affairs Council of Northern California.
