I offer the following services:
Swedish Massage... Designed to energize the body by manipulating circulation for relaxation.
Amma Practitioner...Amma is known as the ancient ancestor of all the Asian hand-healing therapies that work to treat the energy system. "Amma" is basically a Japanese word for massage. Traditional amma was not just a massage completed for relaxation, but also as a medical therapy involving diagnosis. The therapist would use not only the hands but also fingers, thumbs, elbows, and forearms to manipulate the body tissues. Finger pressure is then applies to the fourteen major energy channels found in the body. There are 364 pressure points. The goal of the therapy is to remove any energy blocks found in the body and promote optimal health. Blocked energy paths are believed to be the cause of any physical problems of the body, so the production of good energy flow is important for healthy living.
Prenatal Massage...Prepares the body for an easier delivery and releases strain on weight bearing joints.
Postpartum Massage... Returns body to proper structural alignment, promotes rapid healing, eliminates old pregnancy hormones, and reduces post-partum blues.
Geriatric Massage... a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly population. It involves the use of hands to manipulate the soft tissues of the body to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and increase range of motion.
Raindrop Technique...
Raindrop technique integrates Vita Flex and massage, utilizing the power of essential oils in brining the body into a structural and electrical alignment. It is based on the theory that many types of scoliosis and spinal misalignments are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation, which in turn, contorts and disfigures the spinal column. Using only therapeutic grade essential oils, these oils are dispensed like little drops of rain from a height of about six inches above the back and massaged along the vertebrae and back muscles. Oils used are: Oregano and Thyme, to help fight viruses Basil and Marjoram, to help with muscle spasms Peppermint and Wintergreen, to help with inflammation Cypress, for circulation and 2 powerful essential oil blends The Raindrop is not a cure all or quick fix but is one powerful tool to help restore balance in the body that will result in good health. Book your appointment today.
Hot stones... Stone Massage Therapy came from the healers using rocks from the river beds and warming them either in hot coals or hot water. By placing the hot stones on cloth on the body and arranging them along the energy centers of the body, (along the spine usually) a healing process would occur. The hot stones have a tendency to relax the muscles and "draw out" muscle pain and discomfort.

Location brilliant
Great location, nice decor, good breakfast. Can hear the underground trains rumbling below on first floor.
Lovely hotel easy to get to
No longer has BBC TV channel.
Stayed at the hotel for a night to catch a morning train to Basel the next day. Everything was just perfect. Room facilities and amenities were good and new. They even include a free minibar. I would definitely come back on my next visit to Paris, even though not taking speed trains. (Just a little FYI, they don't keep luggage for free. You need to pay several euros to use their lockers if you don't have a room yet when you arrive at the property or you have to come back after checkout)

Amongst all types of investing and all variety of investing strategies, a variable annuity investing stands out of a crowd due to several reasons and many investors prefer getting into it because it definitely brings some advantages. Let's take a closer look at this type of investing, so you will be able to take advantage of it.
Understanding Variable Annuity
Being a sort of a mix between an Insurance and Investment Contract, Variable Annuity policy offers lifetime payments to an investor. The only difference between investing on your own is that it's not you but the Company who decides what vehicle your money will be invested in.
Why many investors take variable annuity investment options as a sort of insurance against the unfavorable behavior of their main assets? The reason is plain and simple. Let's say you have a certain pool of vehicles in your portfolio with the fixed annuity. Everything is great as long as the economic situation is predictable and the inflation rate is relatively stable and low.
But what if economic environment changes and you start losing your money because your fixed annuity vehicles do not bring you the planned income, just because the value of that vehicles decrease of the value of the money itself goes does (inflation)?
The solution is to diversify the portfolio with stocks and bonds with the variable annuity that offer much higher interest rate. These instruments' interest rate (and thus, your income) is linked to a certain index, rather than to a fixed %. If the index shows positive behavior, the profit of an investor goes up, as variable annuity rise. On the other hand, if circumstances play not in investor's favor, annuities will be decreased.
Outpace the inflation with the variable annuity
Variable annuity investing was designed exactly to outpace the yearly inflation rate that may wipe out the profit that is brought by the fixed-annuity vehicles with relatively low % of yield. For this advantage, an investor pays with the increased risk and instability of variable annuity vehicles.
The variable annuity investing could be considered as an element of retirement plan which brings advantages of both Insurance and Investing: you get your regular guaranteed payments and in case of death the death benefits will be paid to the family (the amount cannot be less than an initial investment made, regardless of the investment performance of the Company).
The inconvenience is that annuities could be withdrawn only once a year and you cannot influence the investment decision and strategy the Company applies. The benefit is that payments are made during the lifetime of a policyholder regardless of the time period.
Accumulation and payout phases
During an accumulation phase, an investor makes payments to allocate his funds within certain vehicles – bonds and stocks. Just like with investing in a mutual fund, investor's money could be grown or lost (partially) depending on the Company's performance.
During a payout phase, an investor gets paid in accordance with investing results of the Company. Even in a case of the worst investment scenario, a person gets the guaranteed minimum yield (typically 3% yearly).
Tax-deferred investment
Another beneficial aspect of Variable Annuity Investing is that it goes via special, tax-deferred subaccount. That doesn't mean that the payments received by the policyholder are tax-free, but instead of paying taxes for the period the money was earned, an individual is allowed to pay taxes later in the future when his income is grown enough for making tax payments painless for the budget.

Straight bevel gears have tapered conical teeth which intersect the same tooth geometry. Bevel gears are used to transmit motion between shafts with intersecting center lines, the intersecting angle is normally 90 degrees -180 degrees. When the mating gears are equal in size and the shafts are positioned at 90d to each other, they are referred to as mitre gears.

Crypto Investor Becomes Victim of Phishing Attack and Loses 5,158 EOS Tokens When He Tries to Register Them
Block.one, the private company behind the EOSIO architecture and the EOS token, has made a statement to warn members of the EOSIO community about a phishing attack that was discovered on Sunday (27 May 2018).
The phishing attack involved an email that was sent out to several members of the EOS community -- people who had been in email communication with block.one -- that included a link to a scam website pretending to be an official site for EOS token registration ahead of the upcoming mainnet launch. This attack was quite sophisticated in that some of the emails sent out actually came from block.one's Zendesk support system, which had been temporarily breached when these emails were sent.
The fraudulent email had the words "upcoming June 1st update" in its subject line. The website referenced in the email -- "eoslaunch.io" -- is not in any way associated with block.one. According to the results of a WHOIS lookup, the "eoslaunch.io" domain was registered by GoDaddy on 26 May 2018. This means that this phishing scam could have only started on this date.
Block.one says that it "learned of this matter quickly after it occurred." It seems as though they were first alerted to this scam when Reddit user "designeey" made a post on 27 May 2018 on the EOS Subredit with the subject line "Please Help!! Scammed by [email protected] email", in which he claimed that he had become the victim of a phishing attack, as a result of which 5,158 EOS tokens (at press time, according to data from CryptoCompare, worth around $61,500) were stolen.
This is a screenshot showing a portion of his Reddit post:
Here is what the phishing email looked like:
And here is a screenshot from the web-based Ethereum blockchain explorer "Etherscan" showing the transaction that resulted in the loss of his EOS tokens:
Block.one says that as soon as it heard about this attack it sent out an email to all the users that had received the phishing email via its Zendesk system. The company has temporarily shut down its Zendesk support system so that it can investigate how this system was breached.
Block.one goes on to say:
"Block.one is also investigating the method by which the sender of the phishing email was able to mimic or utilize actual Block.one email addresses. We believe that the sender had access to certain Block.one systems and may have seen emails sent to or from email addresses related to Block.one and its affiliates. Through that access, the sender may have seen personal information if it was communicated in an email.
Block.one takes information security seriously and we encourage everyone in the community to remain on high alert for scams, phishing, hacks and other activities from bad actors as the end of the token distribution occurs."
For further information about the EOS blockchain upgrade and in particular how to register your EOS tokens, please see the article on this subject that we published earlier today.

While tree service is extremely difficult, professional tree removal services are not expected to be only trained and experienced, but to also have the most excellent safety and rigging gear feasible. We're a company with a business license, offering a major difference in the tree removal industry.
At Martinez Tree Service, we offer a diverse range of services to keep your greenery lush, neat. Even being a professional tree removal company, we also offer services which include tree pruning, tree maintenance, and tree trimming. Additionally, we offer stump removal and grinding to ensure we get to the root of the problem.
Tree removal and general maintenance shouldn't give you a headache, let professionals do it for you while you sit back and see your trees getting the necessary attention.
Delay is dangerous! Contact us today or request a free estimate via our contact page and we'll get back to you ASAP!
Your satisfaction – our ultimate goal!
1. Assess the Tree Before Cutting
Before you grab the chainsaw, you have to carefully examine your tree. Inspecting your tree gives you enough knowledge about the physical condition of the tree. You may think your tree is dying or diseased at first sight, but thorough examination might tell you differently. So, careful evaluation of your tree is important before taking any step. Hence, you need to ask for a professional's help with your tree because they know exactly what to do.
2. Wear Appropriate Protective Equipment
Sure, you don't want to injure yourself while trying to remove a tree in your yard. You must understand that tree removal is dangerous, and only professionals have the right equipment for the best possible safety.
The best protective equipment includes a helmet, safety gloves, work boots, goggles, earplugs, and proper gear for protection against harm. In addition, a bright colored vest must be worn when you're working in moving traffic – only a professional tree removal service has a guaranteed safety during tree removal. So, don't ever risk your life for a service whose safety you don't have.
3. Tree Removal Methods
The methods used in removing trees differ from tree to tree. Proper care must be taken during tree removal because all trees and environments are different. When it comes to falling a tree, several factors must be put into consideration, factors like the tree age, shape, size, and if damaged by insect infestation or rotten. Only an expert can deliver optimum service – contact us to request a free estimate!
Another important consideration is the distance between the tree and its surroundings. It is important to understand that only professional tree removal service can play an essential role in keeping your homes, wires, and most importantly, people safe from falling trees. While tree removal is an enormous and dangerous task, it is therefore not advised to practice Do-It-Yourself.
4. Know How to Use Proper Equipment
Using proper equipment during tree removal is very important. Even when you know the right equipment needed for removal service, do you know how to handle them? Note: Your safety is important! Another important reason why you need an expert tree removal service is that tree removal tools are heavy equipment and should be handled with care and knowledge.
In addition, a lack of knowledge on the usage of the tree removal equipment will not only put your life at risk but also endanger your property. Let an expert in the tree removal industry do the work for you. We are the tree experts, hire us today for a great experience that is better than the best.

This Moment In Time: Song Lyrics
This Moment in Time
This moment in time
Driven here are the demons of my past
Reflecting on what life has given to me
The choice, was ultimately my own to live with
And I have chosen the wrong path
Like the wraith
Failure looms disguised as fate
Why do we dream our dreams no more?
Why do we keep on trying to ignore our souls?
Life it changes
Everyone knows
Never did much for those who won't
Tell them all we tried our best
Never let them know we're dead

An Attractive Environment: The Netherlands Approach to Identifying/Screening PPP Projects
The Netherlands has a rich history of private participation in the development of its public infrastructure, dating back to the country's beginnings in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. However, the idea of formalized PPP immigrated to the Dutch political establishment in the 1980s from the United Kingdom's experimentation with private finance initiatives. As a solution to the country's budgetary woes, the Dutch government attempted PPP for a couple of tunnel projects at the end of the decade. Unfortunately, these projects experienced cost overruns and unpopularity, and the idea was abandoned for future projects until the late 1990s.
In 1999, the Ministry of Finance established the PPP Knowledge Centre, which drove much of the policy discussion on PPP until 2006. In 2004, the European Commission published a Green Paper on Public-Private Partnerships and Community Law on Public Contracts and Concessions. This paper currently serves as the legal guidance for Dutch PPP, and served as a catalyst for additional PPP development in the Netherlands. In 2006, the Ministry of Transport, Public Works, and Water Management started a PPP unit, beginning a rigorous campaign for PPP development. The success of this unit was followed shortly thereafter by the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning, and the Environment developing its own PPP unit, and later by the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature, and Food Quality. Cooperation between these three units led to the fast development of the Netherland PPP market and best practices, including standardized contracts, uniform reporting to Parliament, and standardized risk matrixes. This work precipitated project responsibility to fall to the executing ministry, with essential framework developments from the Ministry of Finance.
The Netherlands has developed its PPP selection process over the past decade, paying special attention to streamlining and publicizing the process to attract potential investors. The idea of creating an efficient and expeditious process was developed from the necessity to attract the private partners drawn to the larger PPP markets in France and the United Kingdom. This is also why the Netherlands only procures Design-Build-Finance-(Operate)-Maintain PPP projects. The Netherlands developed a small but dedicated group of civil servants, fostered by PwC, to create an enabling PPP environment. The Dutch approach to PPP selection is encompassed in three main analyses: Market Scan, Public-Private Comparator, and Public Sector Comparator.

Newborn dads go through a gamut of emotions before and after the arrival of a child. It's not easy for a man to see the woman he loves screaming in pain and writhing in agony.
Trust me, I know!
However, everything changes and the world seems a far happier place when eyes catch sight of those tiny hands and little feet. For a new father, this cycle that traverses through emotions, such as happiness, joy, frustration, exhaustion, hope, fear, etc., never ends. There are days when fathers feel ecstatic, and then, there are also days when the newborn father frustration reaches its zenith.
Most fathers find it challenging to deal with this frustration on an each-day basis. We assure you that if you are a dad frustrated with your newborn, you will be in a better position to deal with your emotions by the time you have reached the end of this article.
Newborn Father Frustration? Here's What You Need To Know And Do.
1. You Can't Control a Newborn
New dads, here's the first thing you need to know: you can't control a newborn.
You may have baby-proofed your apartment, but your newborn will still find a way to get out. You may spend hours and days trying to align their sleeping schedule with yours, but they will still get up at 3 a.m. and demand your attention. They will grunt, cry, poop, and pee around the house.
If you are a dad frustrated with a newborn child, stop trying to control an infant.
Instead, learn to laugh at and laugh with them when they do things you find stupid.
2. Learn to Comfort Your Child
Learn some skills that will make your life easier.
To make your baby feel secure, learn to swaddle them in a blanket. Once you have fed them, hold them in your arms and turn their body on the left side. This exercise helps with digestion. Find a sound or music that calms your newborn child and use it when nothing else works.
Walk them in a body carrier or learn to comfort them in a baby rocker. If you want to soothe your child, the first thing you must do is connect with them. These small skills will allow you to connect better with your child.
3. Admit You Are Struggling
Parenting is an art and a skillset that people develop over time.
People aren't born parents; they learn to be parents. Fatherhood is an acquired skill set. It is, thus, entirely okay if you are struggling to be a father. You will learn all the tricks you will need up your sleeves, but this won't happen in a day.
Once you accept you are struggling, you will be more open to seeking advice and help from others.
4. Ask for Advice
Here's a crucial tip: ask for advice. There is nothing wrong with it.
Speak with fathers and mothers of other newborns. Remember all of you are in the same boat and therefore, hold great potential to make each others' lives better. Seek help and provide it too.
Talking to grandparents is another good idea. They have already been through the journey you are just starting. Grandparents can give great tips and suggestions.
Basically, reach out to someone… anyone!
5. Be Prepared
All new dads, here's another thing you must remember: always be prepared.
This essentially means you must have everything you might need while dealing with a newborn child. Pacifiers, teethers, food, diapers, bibs, blankets, and baby wipes should be within a hand's reach.
You must know clearly where the bottles and extra clothes are.
Always stock up on medicines prescribed by your baby's doctor and have a few emergency numbers by your side in case you need help.
6. Learn Your Newborn's Routines
Newborns have their routine.
They sleep up to 20 hours a day and may decide to wake up at 4 a.m. Nothing you can do will change this…sad face.
Newborn father frustration arises when new dads attempt to change their child's routine, which is a futile exercise.
Babies decide when they want to sleep, eat, and play. As a new dad, all you can do is learn these routines and try and work your way around them. You will have to wait for your baby to grow at least a few months old before you can begin to condition him into a routine that compliments yours.
Until then, let the baby rule.
7. Leave the Room
This advice may seem like a horrible thing to do, but it is not. When you are in the thick of things, it becomes easier for emotions to disarm you of logic completely. This can lead to repercussions and actions you may regret later.
When you feel frustrated, the best thing to do is to remove yourself from the situation and gather your thoughts. You will come back with a peaceful and calm mind and will be in a better position to deal with your baby.
8. Blow off Some Steam
Here is the most essential advice you will ever get: find some time to blow off the steam.
Dealing with a newborn is exhausting and can take a toll on your mental and physical health. It is, thus, crucial that all new parents take some time off to blow off the steam. Take a short vacation or maybe go out on an hour-long date with your partner.
Reach out to your parents and friends and ask them to babysit your child while you are away. Make a routine: once or twice a week, step out with your friends and do something that relaxes you.
Your partner can look after the child while you are taking a break. However, once you feel mentally rejuvenated, help your partner do the same.
Few things change a man's life as much as becoming a father. It's daunting to be wholly responsible for someone's else life. Raising a child isn't easy.
As a father, you will always be switching between hope and fear and happiness and maybe some sadness too.
When you are a parent, good and bad days will follow each other.
However, one thing can be said with certainty, and it's this:
there is no better joy than watching your child grow before your eyes.
So, enjoy it while it lasts.

Hi there! It's Laurel Beard here with you today!!! So... You've got a plain white mug! And you want to jazz it up but don't know where to start and don't want to spend a bunch of cash? Well then take on this DIY project and within 10 minutes, you can create something fun and for under $10!!!! Let's get started!
The Power of a Sharpie and a good stencil
The power of a Sharpie and a stencil
Get yourself a plain white mug! Wipe it down with alcohol to remove all the gunk that might be lingering behind! Then grab yourself two things! A black Sharpie and a great stencil! I used a fun coffee stencil from The Crafters Workshop! Oh, you might want to grab some tape (painters tape, washi) to help secure your stencil into place! Or you can just hold in place with your hand if need be.
Tape the stencil to the mug with painters tape or any kind of tape to secure the stencil in place. Since my stencil was a 12x12, I simple cut out the coffee mug image I wanted to use so I didn't have to try and secure a part of a 12x12 stencil around my coffee mug! That would have been a pain, AND hard to do! :) I grabbed my black Sharpie and traced the stencil coffee shape onto both sides of the mug. I added a few polka dots to finish it off and voila! Seriously, it's just that easy! And you can put any kind of image you want to on your coffee mug! Free hand or use a stencil! And Sharpies come in loads of different colors so you can totally jazz it up and have so much fun!
Sit back and sip a nice cup of joe from your new coffee mug! Oh, hand wash it first, lol!!

Our bus ride from Green Park brought us to Sloane Square where we got off to check out the sales at all the various shops other than Peter Jones (NO Dogs Allowed!!!) More importantly it was time for lunch! So we headed off to a very friendly dog place – Poilane – just behind Peter Jones.
This is my place … and my usual stance –
May's comment: Poilane located just behind Peter Jones at 39 Cadogan Gardens is so casual about dogs – it is fab!
After walking/shopping along King's Road and after going into all the dog friendly shops, only to stop short at Peter Jones, we stop for lunch at Poilane. Perfect lunch menu – open faced sandwiches with soup or salad or stop for a coffee and a pain au chocolat or any of their pastries.
How can you resist that face?!?!?!

Needs and Challenges
Establish oversight over language access programs through the development of a state or district language access plan, creation of an oversight body, and/or creation of a language access coordinator position.
Action Step 2 details recommendations on how to establish effective oversight, including the creation of an oversight committee, the establishment of a language access coordinator position, the development of a state Language Access Plan (LAP), and or the revision of an existing plan.
Over the past 5 years, jurisdictions have made impressive strides in establishing oversight and maintaining pre-established oversight. The majority of jurisdictions stated in the survey that they currently have an oversight body, a statewide coordinator, and/or a statewide language access plan.
Oversight Bodies and Language Access Coordinators
The existence of an oversight body and a language access coordinator is arguably one of the most important indicators of a jurisdiction's commitment toward improvement. Establishing an oversight body, such as a language access office and/or a coordinator greatly assists with the coordination of services, facilitating the development, communication, and monitoring of language access policies and procedures.
Almost 80% of jurisdictions report that they currently have an oversight body that provides language access-related policies and programs. (Figure Q5 below.) Also, 81% of jurisdictions stated that they have a statewide language access coordinator position. (Figure Q6 below.) As seen in question 42, jurisdictions overwhelmingly attributed their overall success and improvements to having a full time language access coordinator.
Language Access Plans (LAPs)
At the Summit, there was a great deal of focus on the importance of developing a state Language Access Plan (LAP), and/or the revision of an existing plan. In the years following the Summit, many resources, through funding efforts, have been put toward supporting creating LAPs or updating existing LAPs.
This intensive focus and support for LAPs has yielded extremely successful results. Most jurisdictions, 84% of respondents, report that they currently have a statewide LAP. (Fig. Q7.) In addition, 64% of respondents stated that they have updated or revised an existing LAP in the last five years. (Fig. Q8.)
LAP Oversight
Jurisdictions assign the duty of overseeing the implementation of their LAP to a variety of persons or entities. At the Summit, when developing steps to implement their LAPs, jurisdictions were asked to identify the individual or entity that would kick off and implement the LAP. This pre-planning created consensus among the key stakeholders attending the Summit and assisted with the immediate implementation of the plans.
Jurisdictions have a number of options of who is best situated to oversee the LAP. The survey asked respondents to identify who is responsible for LAP oversight.
Q9: Who (person or entity) oversees the implementation of the LAP?
Some jurisdictions reported that both a point person and an entity were charged with overseeing their LAP:
Other jurisdictions reported having either a specific person or entity that oversees their LAP:
Components of an LAP
A successful LAP should provide both a strategic framework with realistic goals and procedures and policies to improve meaningful access for LEP court users. Jurisdictions reported on the key components their plans include.
Q10 What Components does your LAP include? Check all that apply:
Listed below in the chart are the most frequently included components, including services, training, and notification procedures.
Jurisdictions have gone well beyond the list of components listed above. In the survey, respondents detailed the following additional components in their plans that were not listed as multiple choice options:
Most Effective Components of an LAP
Next, the survey asked respondents to identify the most successful aspects of their LAPs, which they would recommend to other jurisdictions.
Q11 What have been the most effective components of your
LAP that you would recommend other jurisdictions adopt and why?
Goals and Standards
Language Access Coordinators
Interpreter Training, Certification and Recruitment
Overall Impact of LAP
The survey then asked respondents if their LAP helped improve the language access services they provide in their jurisdictions. The majority of jurisdictions, over 82%, reported that their LAP improved their language access services. (Fig. Q12.)
Each jurisdiction then provided an explanation or detail on how their LAPs improved their language access services. One of the most common themes was that the LAP served as a roadmap or guide in implementing policies and standards and establishing clear direction in providing language access services. Also, increased accountability and awareness was essential to making concrete changes and improvements.
Roadmap and Guide
Increased Accountability
Increased Awareness and Understanding
Jurisdictions that did not answer affirmatively that their LAPs led to improvements referred to a lack of data to support improvements or that their LAPs were newly implemented.

The Naked Acre. Part 3
Trees newly planted in the autumn, when rains increase, need less watering than spring
plantings, which get drier as the sun gets warmer and whose new roots are sooner on the
move. Trees should be watered through holes put down through the turf, where it can
permeate before it evaporates. A good plan: When the planting hole for a new tree is dug,
trowel two or three channels down its sides to root depth and set into them cardboard
cylinders filled to the top with pebbles or finely crushed rock. (See Fig. 16.) Flooded to
the brim a few times each week, such drinking tubes will offset the direst drought;
through them, too, you can give the tree liquid feedings if necessary. After you have
watched professionals transplant "material" - as they brusquely call it - from a nursery,
you can save many dollars below list prices by doing the same yourself, where this is
permitted to the customers. When you go foraging for specimens in the wild, the only new
work you will have to practice is the root-pruning. The smaller the saplings you choose at
first, the better success you will have, but after a few tries there is no reason why an
able-bodied man with a halfway able helper should not collect trees at least three inches
in diameter. That would be a fairly considerable oak, ash, or dogwood for the family
"estate." It would be a very fine cedar or spruce, birch or sassafras.
Field-grown wild specimens are best not only for their filled-out tops but for the manageability of their roots, which will likelier run only under sod than among rocks or the roots of other trees. Except perhaps for a few experimental "switches" which you may take home bare-root, your quest on a first field trip will be to locate and root-prune some sizable specimens for moving much later. Besides your topside pruning equipment, including tree paint, the tools you will need are a mattock (broad-bladed pick-ax), a "round-pointed" shovel, and perhaps your punch-bar to take strain off the shovel's handle in case of rocks. A bushel basket or two may come in handy, as will be explained. If your prize is three inches thick at the height of your hip, sink your trench around it at a distance of fifteen inches from the trunk and down to where you encounter no more roots. (See Fig. l7.) Cut off each large root cleanly. If it is an inch or more thick, paint its raw end. Remove all removable rocks that you come to and when you have the tree standing clear in its little island, prepare to refill your trench with soil and some kind of mulch.
If you are in pastureland, your mulch problem is soon solved. One basketful of dried horse
or cattle droppings will be ample. Or gather a couple of basketfuls of leaves or grass,
dead or alive, and churn them into your loose soil as you refill and tamp the trench. Now,
with your shears and pole-pruner, give the tree a going-over aloft to compensate for the
feeders you carved off its bottom. Give it a year to grow a new, concentrated root-ball
and your tree will be ready to go home with you. If it is much larger than a three-incher,
take its preparation in two bites. This year trench only halfway around, in three equal
sectors equally spaced. Next year dig the other three sectors, and take up the tree on
your third visit, two years hence. (See Fig. 18.) When you do take the tree, follow the
balled-and-bur-lapped or bare-root routine you learned at the nursery, with this addition:
to make the newcomer feel more at home in your grounds, fetch with it a couple of
basketfuls of the topsoil to which it is accustomed. Whichever of the two digging systems
you use, don't try it without a station wagon or a pickup with a tailgate. Make yourself a
skid of planking, up which to slide your load aboard, roots first. Earth-balls weigh about
100 pounds per cubic foot, and the finest tree that ever grew is not worth a
Some of the thriftiest trees one sees at homes are specimens of which the owners say with
fond surprise, "That one started growing all bv itself out back. So we moved it up where
it would show, and just look how well it's doing!" Such trees are called "volunteers" and
there seems to be something special about them. Out of the thousands of "flyers" sent off
by a maple, or acorns from an oak, a few seem to have extraordinary vigor or to land in
most favorable spots. Like stray kittens or puppies they will thrive where pampered
thoroughbreds have pined away. This is natural selection ("survival of the fittest") at
work - the principle put to work by the nurseryman when he culls seedlings to produce a
strain with desired characteristics. The home owner, in a nursery plot of his own, can
similarly play games with baby trees. He needs very few of the very best to supply his
needs, and the effort involved is insignificant. To render his infant specimens more fit
for moving in their second or third year, he can raise them in sunken cans or cartons, to
get compact roots. (When they are transplanted, such roots should be separated and spread
to keep them from "girdling.") Evergreens are easiest of all to bring along, as will be
detailed later in some paragraphs about raising Christmas trees. When evergreens are
moved, it should always be with an earth-ball, and they need no pruning above. Knowledge
of what the soil in your grounds is like can be obtained very simply. Fill some milk
bottles half full of water. Trowel into them samples of soil taken down to the two-foot
level at various spots. Shake well. Let the bottles stand a day or so. Out will settle
your soil's components - gravel at the bottom, then clay, then the loams, then the humus
or topsoil, then a layer of clear water. (See Fig. 19.)
Before any planting is done, the chemical character of your ground should be determined and adjusted. Soil chemistry is for the farmer, not the home owner, except in one important particular: the pH index. This refers to the amount of free acid (H) or alkaline (OH) molecules in the soil. At pH 7 the soil is said to be neutral. The acid scale runs down to pH o, the alkaline up to pH 14, each degree in the scale indicating a tenfold change. Most trees like slightly acid soils ranging from pH 5.5 to pH 7. Above pH 7 most trees have difficulty absorbing some of the trace minerals they need - iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron. A few species are acid-lovers, like sourwood and yellowwood. To find out what your soil reads, get your County Agent to test it, or test it yourself with a cheap litmus kit which your drugstore will sell you, with directions for its use. If the pH of your soil reads low, raise it by spreading lime. Where it is too high, lower it with aluminum sulfate.

Yes, I got 8 items and $9 in coupons from Target Beauty Box, Be you(tiful) for only $7. I am little skeptical about beauty boxes, I have read some good reviews on some of the very popular monthly beauty subscriptions, but never really tried one. When I saw these Target beauty box at our local Target store, I could not resist myself. Target has my favorite drugstore brands and some of the popular high-end products, they have some brands from UK and Korea also. It's a good mix of brands and I get a nice wide variety to choose from. In this beauty box, I got the products which I never tried before, these products can be quite useful for my daily skincare routine. I got two full-size products, one sample of beauty vitamin, one shampoo, and one conditioner in travel size, makeup remover eye pads, one cleanser and one moisturizer in sample sizes, and I got total $9 coupons on the full sizes of these products.
Olly beauty Gummy's with biotin, borage oil, and antioxidants. I haven't tried it yet, don't know if I can notice any difference by one capsule though. But I like the Simple Miscellar makeup remover eye pads, the packet contains 30 pads, it is very soothing for the sensitive eye area.
This cream by Honest Beauty contains Daikon Radish Seed oil and other herbal extracts. I have combination to dry skin, and I am always looking for products which can take care of dryness. It is a nice, smooth cream, a good enough light summer moisturizer for me.
This is a clay-to-mousse charcoal cleanser by Loreal. It is a good one, gives me a clean look after cleansing.
Keraphix shampoo and conditioner by Nexxus, it contains collagen and amino acids which can treat damaged hair. I can see the difference, this combination definitely smoothed my hair after just one washing.
It's a nice minty spring- summer color by Sinful Nail Colour
This e.l.f. Lip Tint in the Perfect Pink shade and it is also a full size. It gives my lip a very natural pink tint. It moisture my lips so nicely that I am replacing it with my lip balm.
So overall an exceptional value for money. Go try!

Mimi + JP – A Sayen Gardens and Princeton Engagement
I would like to apologize to the lovely Mimi and JP for chewing their ears off during their shoot about trying to buy a house in the current housing market. They were a captive audience and in hindsight I appreciated the therapy session. Mimi and JP have a beautiful winter wedding planned in January and wisely thought they would get a spring engagement session to mix things up. They settled on a two location shoot (always a popular option) the bulk of which took place at the ever gorgeous Sayen Gardens. It was nice to return to the park on a perfect spring day with everything in full bloom. After we walked, talked and had a blast at the Sayen Gardens we all headed over to downtown Princeton where we captured the last bit of daylight in one of the nicest towns in America (says me). These two started the session by apologizing in advance for not being the best in front of the camera. I wish I could say I came and conquered, but sometimes you have to let your couples know when they are just plain wrong. True love once again overcame the photo jitters, and these two nailed it. What another pleasure of an engagement shoot for the spring of 2017. Thanks again for the chance, and congrats you two!

beginning note
You might be wondering why some of my very small games are now locked behind a 1$ donation. These game are projects that I myself worked on solo and I will not make any group or collaborated games "paid". The reason for doing this is that I am currently going through some serious health issues so I'm trying to stay afloat in any way possible. If you want to know more about anything message me on any of the socials I have provided.
Hey, I'm an indie game developer from Australia. My interests are horror, point and click and walking simulators. Future games should be focusing on more mechanics and narrative. If you play any of my games, feel free to leave some feedback, I'll only get better from it. And if you really like any of my games and are thinking "hey wtf, where's the rest of this game", hit me up on twitter and be like "Oi, don't be such a lazy ass and finish your game dude". I'm sure it will work =P

It never fails. Whenever I venture into a store, especially a clothing store, I inevitably hear the phrase that makes me want to stage an impromptu personal-finance intervention: "It's an investment piece."
As in, "This jacket is a little pricey, but it's a classic — an investment piece." Or, "I need to invest in a pair of versatile black dress shoes."
I hear it in stores, I read it in magazines, and it makes me cringe. I feel like I should carry copies of J.D.'s book with me to pass out to my fellow shoppers. (I think that scenario plays out differently in my head than it would in reality, though.)
Investment Defined
Investopedia defines investment as follows:
An asset or item that is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in the future. In an economic sense, an investment is the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth. In finance, an investment is a monetary asset purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or appreciate and be sold at a higher price.
Blazers and shoes do not create future wealth. Neither do luxury cars. That twists the definition of investment to classic, quality, versatile, etc.
Let's say I buy those black dress shoes. They're pricey, but I can wear them with everything, and they're classic, so they won't go out of style anytime soon. Great. But think for a moment about what happens when you wear a pair of shoes a lot. They hit the pavement. They get scuffs and marks. They're subjected to all kinds of weather. Taking your dress shoes out for a night on the town? You can bet other people will step on them. Or worse, spill a drink on them.
By the time those shoes have reached their expiration date, they certainly won't provide income or be sold at a higher price than what I paid for them.
While some luxury brands do hold their value — vintage Chanel, for example — it's not common. Most purchases depreciate over time, especially if they've been used and abused. No one is going to pay me retail price (let alone more) for a pair of worn-out dress shoes.
"Investment" as a Justification
When the word investment is misused to describe luxury or quality Stuff, it makes you feel okay about spending more. You aren't frittering away your money or blowing your budget — you're investing. And investing sounds like a smart thing to do. But it's not investing at all; it's still just buying Stuff.
Take a luxury car, for example. It's expensive, it loses value every day, and then there are the insurance and maintenance costs — you won't make that money back when you sell it. Fundamentally, you just need a way to get from point A to point B. Paying more for a sleek automobile isn't an investment. Of course, there are times when a particular kind of car might be required for your line of work, such as a cargo van or a work truck, but even then the rule applies: Those items will lose value. They're not investments, and it's wise to keep that in mind when determining how much you want to spend.
Buying Quality vs. Investing
Now, there's still a lot to be said for buying quality items.
A cashmere sweater does last longer, if properly cared for, than a cheap acrylic blend that'll last maybe one season before pilling and losing its shape. I prefer to own less and save longer to afford quality, and after downsizing my closet, I've become a stickler for fabric and fit.
Several years ago, I would have used those reasons to label cashmere as an investment. But let's think about what I'm really buying and its purpose: A sweater keeps me warm, but I can accomplish that with one fleece zip-up from L.L. Bean, which comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Paying off credit cards is a good investment. Funding my Roth IRA is an investment. Cashmere is a luxury and a want. I don't need it for anything other than my own enjoyment.
So Long as We're Clear…
I don't really describe myself as frugal. I try to be smart with my money, but I like indulgences, too. And it's okay to spend extra on things you want, but don't confuse wants with investments to justify the expense. Money for these so-called "investment items" should still come from your fun money part of the budget. Savings and investments should be completely separate budget categories.
When you're going to make a purchase, think about what you need, your real reasons for buying it, and whether you can afford it. You aren't likely to make money when you sell it, so purchase with the intention of using it and enjoying it yourself.
If you happen to sell it later on, that'll just be a nice bonus.
What do you think? Do you consider quality or luxury items to be "investments"? Have you ever called something an investment to justify spending a little more? (I know I have!)

Historical Fiction
New, Christopher. (2001)[1975]. The Chinese Box. Hong Kong: Asia 2000.
The Chinese Box is the middle novel in Christopher New's China Coast Trilogy which includes a prequel Shanghai (1985) and a sequel Change of Flag (2000). Set amidst the riots of 1967, the text interweaves a personal narrative with larger socio-political forces shaping Hong Kong society at the time. The novel constantly shifts between the personal and the public by interspersing clips of fictionalised newspaper reportage with the story of the half-Russian, half-British Hong Kong academic Dimitri Johnston. Similar to many pre-1997 anglophone texts, The Chinese Box looks apocalyptically at the prospect of a Mainland takeover. It also attempts to critique colonial governance and the social disparities of Hong Kong's capitalist society.
Johnston faces a mid-life crisis as his family life with British wife Helen disintegrates and his professional life as an academic becomes increasingly staid. Helen, a one time would-be concert pianist carries with her a heavy sense of failure and is unable to adjust to life in Hong Kong, becoming withdrawn and depressed. Dimitri, born in Hong Kong and fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, finds it easier to relate to Hong Kong society, though he is wary of the company of his fellow expatriates and their attitudes towards Hong Kong society.
Dimitri frequents a brothel and develops a relationship with a prostitute, a Hong Kong fisherman's daughter called Julie, which he imagines to be more than a mere business arrangement. However, Julie is soon replaced by a more substantial relationship with a Chinese woman, Mila, who is more Dimitri's intellectual and social equal. Mila is Dimitri's daughter, Elena's, ballet teacher. She is a Shanghai-born woman who has escaped the Cultural Revolution and is in limbo as she waits for a visa to enter the UK to continue her dancing.
The Dimitri-Mila relationship however does not follow the usual model of a white male in a paternal relationship with a Chinese woman. Mila maintains a level of independence which is affirmed at the end of the novel when she decides to return to China even though Dimitri is free to marry her because Helen commits suicide. Dimitri is thus left to face an uncertain future with his two children.
Through Helen and a few other minor characters the novel provides a critique of typical expatriate attitudes towards local Hong Kong society. The novel also critiques both colonial government and wealthy local Chinese attitudes towards social disparities in Hong Kong—especially unbridled capitalist ideology and what is seen as its neo-Confucian rationalisation. It also takes up the issue of justice in a colonial setting through a trial against police brutality in which Mila and Dimitri are witnesses. Milla's initial refusal to testify aligns with the text's depiction of a supposedly apathetic attitude towards injustice and authoritarianism among the Hong Kong Chinese but her later decision to testify problematises this depiction. However, it is re-instated because we discover that Mila might have testified due to pressure from Shanghai authorities who want to embarrass the British colonial government. Similarly the text appears to suggest that justice is unequal in a colonial society because the convicted police officers are later cleared during an appeal process. This incident implies criticism of Hong Kong's "rule of law" discourse. (HR)

As Louisianans continue to cope with the fallout from last year's devastating flooding, mental health professionals say they worry about their ability to provide adequate care in a state where resources were already stretched.
Adding to their frustration, the federal government has yanked funding for a state health department program that provided counseling and other services to flood survivors. The program, Louisiana Spirit, officially shut down Friday, said program coordinator Nicole Coarsey.
Louisiana would receive less than $400 million in additional flood recovery funds under a sp…
Yet while there is now one fewer resource available to those in need, experts predict that the demand for mental health type services will continue to rise in the next year now that people are transitioning away from short-term survival mode and adjusting to the new normal.
"We haven't seen the spike. We haven't seen the epicenter," said Aaron Blackledge, executive director of the local non-profit Crisis Intervention Center.
He says there's a huge demand for services looming.
"Unfortunately, organizations like ours don't have the resources to help," Blackledge said. "I haven't seen anything like it since Katrina. It's a tragedy."
Already, one hospital is reporting a rise in psychiatric admissions.
Dr. Kenny Cole with Baton Rouge General Medical Center said 1,498 people checked into that hospital's emergency room between August 13 of 2016 and August 13 of this year with a primary complaint that was mental health related — a 14 percent increase over the previous year.
"I think the number is probably much bigger than that," Cole said.
The reason, he said, is that in some people come in complaining of physical symptoms like insomnia or chest pain when the underlying problem might actually be depression or anxiety.
Although there's ample evidence that links conditions like anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder both to environmental stressors and genetic factors, there's still a persistent and "arbitrary" stigma against people struggling with mental illness, Cole continued.
And stress also suppresses a body's immune system, the doctor said. For example, Baton Rouge General surveyed its staff and found that about 37 percent of those who had flooded reported an increased need for prescription medication since the storm.
Physical and mental health "are very much intertwined. They very much affect each other. … It's really just health," Cole said.
On the Sunday of last year's flood — the day when the choked waterways backflowed into peopl…
Theoretically, anyone can eventually reach a point at which they begin to have difficulty coping with trauma and stress. People just reach the threshold at different times explained local psychologist Donald Hoppe.
Anxiety and depression can occur when the body's self-preservation instincts react out of proportion to stress, he said.
Richard Bryant of the University of New South Wales, an expert on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, said one way to understand PTSD is to think of a mouse in a cage with a light.
If a researcher turns on the light and shocks the mouse, then eventually it will come to fear the light and exhibit symptoms like an increased heart rate and release of stress hormones when the light is switched on. If the researcher continually turns on the light without shocking the mouse, a healthy animal will come to lose its fear, but some will continue to have a fearful reaction, Bryant wrote in a presentation to the Dart Center, a Columbia University agency that provides information on trauma to journalists.
Human psychology is more complex, Hoppe said, and some of it is biological. Violence, strong or weak relationships and other factors during a child's development can also play a role, he said.
His clients are particularly concerned about the effect the flood has had on their children. He said he's heard a lot of worry about kids who are now fearful of thunder storms.
At Our Lady of the Lake, the number of adult psychiatric admissions actually went down slightly last fiscal year, said behavioral and mental health executive director Denise Dugas. However, the intake of adolescents — those between 12 and 17 years old — went up from 341 to 548.
While the Lake can provide acute care for a few days to help a patient in crisis or who needs to detoxify, "there's a lack of the continuum of care that's needed in this community."
The state cut funding for psychiatric care under former Gov. Bobby Jindal, and now struggles to find adequate longer-term services, Dugas said. As a result, people end up staying in the hospital, which creates a "backlog" of others seeking services. When they are released, they frequently have to go to facilities in New Orleans, Shreveport or Lafayette.
It's tough on families when teenagers have to go to another city to receive care.
"Parents were distraught," Dugas said.
Blackledge, the Crisis Intervention Center's director, said the crisis line also struggles to keep up with the calls for help. Based on the size of its population, the Baton Rouge area should probably make about 12,000 to 13,000 calls to the center annually. But because services are hard to come by, local residents call about twice that often in years even without a massive community-wide crisis like last year's historic flooding, the executive director said.
As a result, calls get re-routed to centers from Miami to Seattle, so while people in distress still have an opportunity to talk, the person on the other end of the line is less familiar with how to help them reach local services.
"It's been an incredibly frustrating journey. … It's really unbelievable," Blackledge said.
Another specific concern for Baton Rouge is that many people have already lived through a natural disaster.
"This has rekindled a lot of the fears they felt after Katrina. … It opened up old wounds," Hoppe said.
A team of LSU researchers is investigating so-called "re-traumitization," said Katie Cherry, an LSU psychology professor. They're collecting data on subjects' well-being and having them perform memory tests, problem-solving puzzles and other measures of their cognitive ability.
Researchers have collected reams of data since last summer's flood, and now LSU has assemble…
After meeting with subjects over time, they'll compare people who didn't flood, people who flooded for the first time and people who flooded and were affected by a previous storm like Hurricanes Katrina or Rita.
Cherry, who specializes in disaster stress and recovery said she was "terribly disappointed" to see the closure of Louisiana Spirit, which she called "such a good program."
Technically it can be re-authorized, but only if there is a new disaster declaration for a future event, according to Coarsey, the program coordinator.
A year after the flood, Louisiana Spirit conducted 22,401 individual counseling sessions. Representatives also went door-to-door surveying flood victims' mental health. The most common complaint — identified by over 14,000 survivors — was ongoing fatigue and exhaustion, according to a state report.
The program also met with groups including first responder agencies. While most of the concern since the flood has been for the people who actually took on water, experts also expressed concern about those who were indirectly affected. That group includes members of the Cajun Navy who helped rescue flood victims as well as people who watched their family members lose everything or have crowded their houses with friends and relatives in need ot a place to stay.
Doctors are trying to keep an eye out for unhealthy coping methods among everyone touched by the storm.
Cole, of Baton Rouge General, said some people may turn to comfort food while others deal with stress by smoking more, which could increase the number of diabetes or asthma cases.
While he didn't have specific data about substance abuse, Cole remarked that "alcohol especially is a drug of choice for self-medicating."
In addition to forcing people out of their homes, the flood also damaged churches and other meeting spaces where addicts in recovery convene to offer mutual support. Alcoholics Anonymous doesn't take attendance, and each meeting group is fairly independent, but it looks like operations have pretty much returned to normal, said one employee in the Baton Rouge central office who asked not to be identified in keeping with the organization's traditions.
In fact, after the storm, AA groups were some of the ones out cleaning the churches, and members were able to lend help with childcare and provide support to others in recovery.
"It was very much a grass-roots, person to person kind of thing. … We really did well. I'm proud of us," the AA worker said.
When people begin exhibiting symptoms of psychological distress, it's important to intervene quickly before matters become chronic and lead to more serious issues like drug abuse, domestic abuse self-harm and suicide, remarked Dugas at OLOL.
Louisiana's 2017 suicide rate is higher than the national average, and one person in the state kills himself about every 12 hours, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. More common than homicide, it is particularly problematic among younger people, ranking as the second leading cause of death among children 10 to 14 and the third leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15 and 34, according to the Foundation.
About 90 percent of cases involve people with mental disorders and/or substance abuse, but the issue is complex, the Foundation wrote in an online explanation to lay people.
"There are almost always multiple causes, including psychiatric illnesses that may not have been recognized or treated. However, these illnesses are treatable," they wrote.
Though they are rare, there have also been calls to the crisis hotline from people in distress who want to turn their anger on others. Last year, there were seven calls Blackledge classified as "homicidal ideation."
"The reason is they aren't getting any support. … They're hurting and they want to stop hurting."
Cole isn't sure how long the flood will continue to have community-wide effects on mental health. After Hurricane Katrina, the suicide rate in New Orleans doubled and stayed at the level for four years, he remarked. However long the problems persist in Baton Rouge, he expects to measure it in years.
