"Hello, is there anybody there?"
No answer……
I look to my partner and ask him to contact control to request an ETA for the police.
We had been dispatched to an address for a 'concern for occupent' , which in about 80% of cases ends up with the police forcing entry and us finding a deceased person in the house who had passed away sometime in the last 12-36 hours. This job had all the makings of the same. I was only new in my career, maybe six months, and was a trainee advanced technician at the time.
It was 20:35 on a winters night, dark and freezing cold. The neighbours had called 999 as they had noticed that 'Jims' curtains had been closed all day and they hadn't seen him go out to the club for his usual 2 pints that afternoon.
We arrived to find the house secure, no lights on, curtains closed and no response to our knocking on the door or repeated shouts through the letter box. What we could see through the gaps in the curtains gave us no clue as to the where abouts of Jim, a previously healthy 57 year old man, with no real medical problems (according to his neighbour).
After about 10 minutes, the local police arrived with there 'special key', to break in through the front door. A couple of loud bangs later and the door shoots inwards on its hinges and gives us our first glimpse into the house.
Without thinking about it, I take a deep breath in through my nose, waiting for the rapidly becoming familiar smell of decomposition to assault my nasal passages, but thankfully in this case, all I can smell is the normal musty smell of a house which probably doesnt get cleaned as often as one would like.
The police officer steps back and motions for me to go in…..Errr…..no thanks mate, after you !!
As we walk in, I flick on the light switch in the hallway……nothing! Great, we are going to have to do this by torch light.
I had seen enough horror films and enough dead bodies in various stages of decomposition to start to get the old imagination flowing. The police officer starts to look downstairs, whilst I and my mate Joe, start to move upstairs. Our torches cast an eerie shadow on the walls as we climb the stairs. I try the light switch on the upstairs landing……Nothing!
I stop for a second and try to stop my imagination from being silly. I'm sure that he has probably gone out to the club and maybe just gone back to a friends house for a couple more drinks, only to come home to find his front door boarded up and a police officer standing outside to explain what has happened. But then there is the other side of my brain telling me that my torch light is about to be cast over a body hanging from the loft hatch!
I enter the first room, holding my breath a little, then exhale when I see no corpse on the bed……but what if he has rolled off and fallen down the other side of the bed and is on the floor??
A couple of slow steps around the bed, torch light creeping around the corner of the bed, then……..nothing!!!!!
Joe thinks this is a great time to pinch me in the sides and go BOO!!!!
No so my friend!!…I turn round and dig him hard in the arm
"You stupid GIT!!…..Right your turn!"
I hand the torch to him and he goes ahead into the second bedroom with me behind him casting my vision from left to right and again, finding nothing.
Well that just leaves the bathroom.
"You found anything down there yet?" , I shout to the police officer
"No, nothing down here mate!"
This really is starting to feel like a movie now. Joe and I stand next to each other in front of the bathroom door.
Joe : "Is your heart going as quick as mine?"
M999: "Just a bit mate…Go on then, in you go!"
Joe: "Hey, you are the trainee…In you go!"
M999: "Cheers matey! I`ll remember this one"
My heart is in my throat as I open the door. Images are flashing in my brain of Jim lying in the bath with his wrists cut or collapsed on the toilet, bloated after being dead for 4 days or even hanging from the shower head.
Nothing again!! Jesus!!!……deep breath…..I look at Joe and we exchange a nervous giggle.
Joe " Now don't be to hasty, you haven't checked behind the shower curtain….you never know"
M999: "Yeah right!!"
I walk the two steps over and pull the curtain back whilst shininy the torch into the bath…..
I shout, whilst stumbling backwards into Joe. I hear the police officer hurtling up the stairs as I regain my composure.
M999: "What are you doing Jim???"
Jim is sitting perfectly still, fully dressed, obviously NOT dead, at the tap end of the bath. He slowly turns his head towards me and gives a little smile.
Once we all calm down I manage to find out the Jim has been having some trouble recently and is finding it hard to cope. There is some possibility of schizophrenia, but he just felt that he would be safe in the bath. We helped him out and persuaded him to come with us to the hospital.
As we left the house, he smiled and chatted with his neighbours, thanking them for their concerns and obviously putting a very brave face on a troubled mind. I have never been called back to that house, and have never seen him again. Hopefully he got the help he needed, but if not, I know to be very wary when I go into his bathroom next time!

Legalization in North America
As more investigations turn out demonstrating the health advantages of cannabis utilize, the legitimate standard of both medicinal and recreational weed is changing the world. The principal nation to legitimize pot, Uruguay, is setting the phase crosswise over Europe. However, North America is developing more partitioned over their enactment in regards to cannabis utilize. Regardless of whether you're making travel arrangements or just hoping to stay up with the latest, we're taking a gander at how far legitimization has made it in North America, and what that implies for the mainland from a worldwide point of view.
United States
Weed Recreationally Legal: Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Washington D.C.
Weed Medically Legal: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Washington D.C.
The primary state to authorize restorative cannabis was California in 1996 with California Proposition 215. Since this recommendation, medicinal weed has been made legitimately accessible in 30 states. Restorative Maryjane solutions were accessible to patients experiencing conclusions of growth, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson's ailment, numerous sclerosis, epilepsy, seizures, Wasting disorder, Crohn's ailment, and PTSD after examinations started to demonstrate that weed helped in the side effects that came about because of these illnesses. The accessibility for various analyses fluctuates from state to state also, which means on the off chance that you have Crohn's sickness in Nevada for instance, you may need to consider a move to California where patients are relevant.
Marijuana initially ended up plainly accessible recreationally to anybody 21 years and more seasoned in Colorado and Washington in 2012. Not just this assistance reclassify the way that cannabis utilize is socially seen in the United States, it prepared for states, for example, Oregon and Alaska to go with the same pattern in 2015. In the 2016 decision, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, and California voters likewise helped pass enactment to authorize recreational cannabis for anybody 21 years and more seasoned.
States with Decriminalization Laws: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont
Urban areas with Decriminalization Laws: Berkeley, CA; Miami, FL; Orlando, FL; Tampa, FL; Chicago, IL; Wichita, KS; New Orleans, LA; Ann Arbor, MI; Berkley, MI; Detroit, MI; East Lansing, MI; Ferndale, MI; Flint, MI; Grand Rapids, MI; Huntington Woods, MI; Lansing, MI; Jackson, MI; Keego Harbor, MI; Mount Pleasant, MI; Pleasant Ridge, MI; Portage, MI; Port Huron, MI; Saginaw, MI; Columbia, MO; Santa Fe, NM; New York, NY; Bellaire, OH; Logan, OH; Newark, OH; Roseville, OH; Toledo, OH; Philadelphia, PA; Pittsburgh, PA; Milwaukee, WI; Monona, WI
CBD Oil Legalized: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming
Decriminalization of Marijuana has been around in the states since 1973, more than 40 years after most states picked forbiddance from 1911-1933. Oregon was the main state to decriminalize Marijuana, diminishing prison time for those got with ownership under a specific point of confinement to an insignificant fine. Be that as it may, not all states have totally decriminalized, and at times being gotten with even a little sum could bring about criminal allegations. Since the United States has one of the most elevated imprisonment rates on the planet and the biggest jail populace, numerous are starting to scrutinize the support of criminal allegations for having a substance that is legitimate in different states. Today, in 2016, decriminalization endeavors proceed the nation over.
All the more as of late, states with harsher charges have been attempting to sanction CBD oil, the concentrate of cannabidiol that makes therapeutic cannabis so accommodating for patients. Be that as it may, the coordinations are still extremely precarious in regards to CBD oil since it can be difficult to lawfully acquire regardless of whether it is legitimate inside your state, and late endeavors from the DEA are testing the authorization of CBD still by including an exceptional code for it in the Controlled Substances Act as a Schedule I substance close by cannabis and heroin.
Canada maybe is making the most progress in North America for cannabis authorization. Like the United States, Canada initially denied weed in 1923. Through the 1960's and 70's, cannabis utilization started to increment exponentially, until 2001 when Health Canada chose to control medicinal cannabis for specialists to recommend to patients experiencing growth, HIV/AIDS, various sclerosis, spinal line ailment, joint inflammation, and epilepsy. In 2014, this program was extended to any patient who could get a therapeutic remedy from an authorized professional.
Since the mid-2000's, Canada has gone about as a shelter to numerous exiles from the United States who have gotten criminal accusations for their cannabis utilize. This is because of Canada's all the more governmentally acknowledged perspective of weed, instead of the United States' state-by-state authorization. Canada isn't new to territorial contrasts, however, as urban communities, for example, Vancouver has permitted the offer of Maryjane since 2005, and today a few dispensaries will offer recreationally to anybody 19 years or more established.
The present leader of the legislature, the Liberal Party led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, kept running on legitimizing recreational Maryjane at the government level. Only fourteen days back in December 2016, a report was discharged specifying the plans to authorize in 2017. On the off chance that the liberal government finishes, that implies Canada will be the main nation in North America to governmentally sanction Maryjane, and just the second on the planet after Uruguay to totally authorize the deal, transport, and ownership of weed. At present, the British Columbia area is one of the cannabis capitals of the world for its optimal developing district, and cannabis is one of the essential money harvests of the region. English Columbia as of now sends out 95% of its cannabis plants to the United States.
Therapeutic cannabis is right now a hot catch issue in Mexico. In spite of the fact that ownership and development have been decriminalized, pot is still exceptionally illicit in Mexico. In any case, only as of late in December 2016, Mexico passed another bill in the senate sanctioning restorative cannabis with 1% or less dynamic THC. This is for the most part for CBD oils and tinctures, yet it opens the entryway for more research and receptiveness in the Mexican people group.
This bill got overpowering help in the Mexican Senate, winning the vote tally 98 to 7. This vote comes after a November 2015 choice from the Mexico Supreme Court that to preclude therapeutic cannabis to subjects is an encroachment on human rights.
US Territories
Presently, cannabis laws in US regions are also isolated as the states inside the principle mainland. Maryjane is as yet illicit in American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands, in spite of the fact that it has been decriminalized in the Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands have held therapeutic cannabis submissions in both 2012 and 2014, where comes about demonstrated that the larger part 56% of Virgin Islands subjects were supportive of restorative pot Rather as of late, Guam occupants voted to pass a ticket on November 4, 2014, that authorizes medicinal pot for patients enduring "debilitative conditions." This was only four years after a fizzled endeavor to legitimize medicinal pot in 2010, after an open hearing was gone to by just a single individual and simply a year ago, the legislative head of Puerto Rico marked an official request additionally sanctioning medicinal weed after its preclusion since 1932.
As the United States and Cuba start to make political corrects, tourism to Cuba has soared. Be that as it may, Fidel Castro prohibited anything considered a "social inconvenience" in the nation, and a basic ownership charge could see you in jail for up to 10 years. It is said that vacationers are additionally being focused on now for routine checks given the accessibility of cannabis in close-by nations.
Alluded to as ganja, cannabis use in Jamaica is fixing principally to the religion Rastafari in which cannabis is utilized as a part of an otherworldly sense. In spite of the fact that it was assessed that up to 5% of the Jamaican populace rehearses Rastafarianism, cannabis was as yet restricted from 1913 up to its decriminalization in 2015. The decriminalization in Jamaica decreases ownership charges from a criminal offense to a frivolous offense and permits both the development of plants and ownership of up to 2 ounces. Furthermore, the decriminalization ensures those honing the Rastafari confidence and permits cannabis use for a religious reason, and even enables the offer of Maryjane to travelers with a legitimate therapeutic weed medicine.
Worldwide Positioning
North America is only one mainland in the cannabis amusement - somewhere else, authorization endeavors keep on both achievement and disappointment over the globe. In any case, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, a 1961 settlement from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, denies cannabis utilize globally, and numerous recommendations that the government authorization of cannabis could put a nation in terrible support with the UN. Both Canada and the United States verge on running this hazard, and numerous inquiry what the following stage will be for the United Nations. Be that as it may, the more receptive nations develop towards authorizin Maryjane and concentrate its therapeutic impacts, the better possibility littler stages over the world have.

The definition of "puppy dog eyes".
Kota was a bit unsure of this whole birthday thing.
So you're saying I get cake and presents and cuddles and there's *no catch*? No catch at all?
Nope. No catch at all.
Well, maybe one catch. You have to wear a hat.
Oh, I forgot. Then you have to sit nicely whilst I tease you with a cake.
Oi! No cheating!
And then you have to share your cake with Sparky. Whilst I take pictures of it.
Here's what I think of your "no catches" lie!

Jmping for Joy!
Or for sticks, whatever.
The dogs and I have been enjoying the summer-ish sun lately. One really nice day I cut the long grass at the back of the garden and then lounged around in the grass throwing sticks over the garden wall for the dogs.
As soon as I went to get the camera they started acting up.
They'd jump over the wall away from me.
But run back through the gate on the way back.
I'm in ur garden, ruining ur shot!
No prettydogs--jumping-over-walls pictures for you then! And so, instead of jumping over things for sticks, we jumped straight up in the air for sticks! Stupid dogs don't evade my camera that easily.
Kota's not so good at the catching part.
In fact, most of the time
he FAILS miserably.
But occasionally he WINS.
Sparky doen't FAIL quite so often but when he does he does it spectacularly.
Oi, what are you doing over there?
It's not my fault I FAIL. My tongue gets in the way.
Puppy's 1 year old tomorrow? Can you believe it? A whole year old! There was supposed to be a BBQ for all the pups today but unfortunately the weather showed up and it got cancelled. BBQ has been rearranged for next weekend. But I shall be away for a wedding next weekend. Sparky and Kota will be at the party, as they're staying with the breeder whilst I'm away, but I won't be so you won't have any pictures. Sorry!
Blame the weather.

Giants blueliner and GB International David Phillips learned late Thursday night that he will be joining teammate Bobby Robins in Dave Matsos' squad for the bmibaby Elite League All-Star game being held at the Coventry Skydome on February 19th.
Dave Matsos – head coach of the team representing the North – has named four more players, including Phillips, to his squad and in doing so has added both offensive firepower and defensive stability to his roster.
On offence, Matsos has named an explosive pairing in the current league-leading goalscorer, David-Alexandre Beauregard of the Manchester Phoenix and leading scorer for the Edinburgh Capitals, Mark Hurtubise. The Sheffield coach has also boosted his blueline with Manchester captain, Kenton Smith.
Meanwhile for the squad representing the South, Paul Thompson has selected two vastly experienced blueliners and two of the best up and coming homegrown talents with big futures ahead of them.
Adding size and defensive skill for the South will be Corey Neilson, player-coach of the Nottingham Panthers and Tyson Teplitsky of the Cardiff Devils, widely regarded as one of the best blueliners in the league. Thompson, who doubles his head coaching role of the Coventry Blaze with that of spearheading the GB national team, has added two blossoming homegrown talents to his forward lines in Matt Myers, also of the Panthers and Lee Mitchell of the Hull Stingrays.
A spokesperson for the bmibaby Elite League remarked, "Both coaches are taking their All-Star selections extremely seriously as indicated by these latest 'signings' by Thommo and Matty. Just watching the squad selections is intriguing and the game itself promises to be an extra-ordinary event."
The All-Star game – supported by Planet Ice – will take place on Thursday 19th of February at the Coventry Skydome with a 7.30pm face-off, and tickets are already on sale priced at £15 for Adults; £7 for U-16; £10 for Concessions and Family Tickets (2 Adults and 2 U-16) at £38.

There are so many great aspects to this company – They pick you up at your home, drive you to each winery and all tasting fees were included during the day… They make sure every comfort is met!
This is the best way to learn about and see the natural scenery around Portland. Josh gives the most thoughtful, flexible, fun, informed tours and is super-friendly and great to be around.
Josh was full of information on the area and gave us plenty of time to explore. He even took some excellent photos for us. Wonderful scenery and waterfalls, definitely would recommend this tour.
Joshua was organized, friendly, prompt, and a great driver in what turned out to be a blizzard! What really made the trip though was the friendliness of all the other passengers…

Mirvac Partners with Westmead Childrens Hospital this Easter
Mirvac has long supported The Children's Hospital at Westmead and the incredible work they do to provide the best possible care for children. The Hospital is the largest paediatric centre in NSW specialising in treating seriously ill children with over 4,400 staff caring for more than 80,000 sick children and their families every year. This includes around 32,000 admissions, 59,000 emergency department presentations and more than 688,000 outpatient visits.
This year we have shown our support by helping with their Teddy Bear Clinic at
The Royal Easter Show
. The Teddy Bear Clinic has been designed so that kids (and adults) can experience for themselves some of the aspects involved in being treated at
The Children's Hospital at Westmead
. Children can bring along their teddy bear, or any other toy, to visit the Emergency department where teddy will have a physical examination, followed by a scan in the MRI machine (there are even headphones to experience the sounds the MRI machine makes!). Overall, kids will leave with a bit more knowledge of what a hospital visit involves, and hopefully a bit less fear as they know what to expect.
Mirvac Teams across Development, Design, Construction, Des+Pres and Marketing have been involved in seeing the vision for the stand come to life – all the way from the designing the MRI beds through to construction of the entire stand. The incredible result would not be possible without the support of some of our amazing suppliers including Red Robbin Kitchens and Novak Signs.
If you are heading to Easter Show, make sure you check out the Children's Hospital stall – don't forget to take your teddy with you!

Campus placements are still a relatively new concept in the traditional graduation/ post-graduation setup. Placements till date, are very limited to professional courses and that too among the more popular institutes serving these courses. The lack of having a proper placement setup can be attributed to various factors including the limited opportunities, lack of infrastructure or even the relative newness of the concept.
Often eminent institutes shy away from the concept of placements and do not have a dedicated placement cell to cater to the different needs of the student. Students are often encouraged to find their feet by themselves for shaping their careers. Some of the demerits of this lie in the fact that the students are young, inexperienced and often need a guiding force to encourage them to go beyond the traditional and popular choice of careers.
Technical or professional courses come with a structured view on future prospects for a student and have dedicated teams/ mentors helping them out should they need some guidance or an extra push. Especially seen in the case of Arts/ Science subjects, students have limited knowledge about different options they might have post their time at the university and they are left to wonder which option would be better suited to their respective skill sets.
Current placements scenario:
According to AICTE, only 30% of the students enrolled in a course are able to secure placements. This value is only indicative of 10,000 odd AICTE approved institutions. If we consider the total number of universities in India, the average student placement comes out to be barely 10% of the total intake. The bulk of placements (about 85%) comprise students from Tech and Management backgrounds. Commerce, Economics, Law form another 5%. This leaves barely 10% for the vast gamut of courses available to all in the higher education space. This number is disheartening, especially as we see the number of institutions on the rise, along with the number of varied courses that are being introduced every year in these institutions. Not all of it is bleak though! The same source indicates that in the past 6 years, there has been a 30% increase in the number of students offered placements through dedicated campus drives, although the major chunk of this increase is attributed to the increased numbers in engineering colleges.
The major questions remain: What happens to the students who enroll in non-technical courses? What are the career paths available to them? How do they go about pursuing a corporate career? A lot of these questions are directed at the universities that take up the onus of shaping a student's career once he/she sets foot in the institution of his/her choice. More and more students look at determining the ROI that the institute gives before securing admissions at the under-graduate and post-graduate level. In such a scenario, how do age-old traditional and reputed institutes ensure that they attract the best talent pool that takes forward the legacy of the institute? How do these "non-technical" institutes match up with colleges that run a structured placement process? Is it important to have one at all? We try to dissect these questions in the paragraphs below.
Importance of having a placement setup:
While it is agreeable that placements are not the sole metric in evaluating a university's stature or a student's worth, having a steady and recurrent placement process surely is a benefit in many ways.
For the students, opportunities in the form of projects and internships help them leverage the skills that they have inculcated during their course into the real world. Their abilities are tested, their skills are honed, and they are able to apply the skills that they have gained in real-world situations. Not only does this provide experience, it also paves the way for a student to work towards a career of his/her choice. Often students are unaware of the different roads lying ahead of them post their studies and working on different projects provides them a sense of direction in the way they want to approach their careers.
This is especially true for Arts and Science graduates as subjects like English, History, Political Science or Physics do not necessarily come with a focused and dedicated role in the corporate space and thus students are often left wondering which roads to take.
Limited opportunities in Academia:
Another major reason why institutes should look at placement opportunities has major links to the limited scope of higher education/ research in India. Only 15- 20% of the batch are able to avail opportunities to go for a PhD or an M.Phil in the subjects of their choice. Regulatory limitations, research funds, low private PhD stipends from autonomous universities and limited opportunities through NET, SLATE, GATE and other entrance tests often come as a hindrance to those seeking out opportunities in academia.
Additionally, placements and internships also ensure a steady stream of income for a student whose need for economic stability is far greater than the choice of exploration when it comes to opportunities.
Countering the problem of accessibility:
Having a dedicated placement cell allows students to cash in on the various opportunities available to them and also gives them a wider playing field to choose from. Students in their late teens and early twenties, rarely come with the necessary foresight, connections, experience or even the platform necessary to showcase their skills and experiment in various ways. Thus, the involvement of the institute plays a huge role in shaping their mindset and their outlook. Not only do they get to understand the different avenues available to them, but also gain knowledge and mentorship from the experienced members of the university placement team.
Moreover, it also gives a student some direction on how to proceed towards shaping a meaningful career path for themselves. The students often are not certain about the way forward after their graduation. They are left wondering on how to traverse the gap between the campus and the corporate space. They also do not always have a solid platform to help them ease out this process of transition. Most fine arts and performing arts courses are dependent on honing your skills over a period of time through continued internships and field events. Apprenticeship thus forms a key part of their experience. However, these opportunities are hard to come by and suitable mentors often elusive. The presence of a placement cell can help solve many of these practical problems that plague students and help them through the winding lanes of self-discovery.
Short term v/s Long-term Goals:
The need for placement opportunities can also be tied to the education system in India. Unfortunately, the structure of school or graduate courses is such that one cannot pick and choose subjects at one's own free will. There are strict mandates from Councils, Ministries, university boards, etc. regarding the combinations that you can opt for which limits the scope of exploration from a very early stage. Thus, students are asked from the time they enter high school to choose "subjects", rather than think from a holistic career point of view. This short-term solution leads them to opt for popular or known courses from eminent institutions. Very rarely do the students have sufficient clarity over how they would be able to leverage these choices to build a career of their choice. Moreover, the choice of subjects at the graduate level for most courses, even in the most reputed institutes, is directly proportional to the scores that they achieve in their final board exams, which also takes away from actually having a choice in the whole admissions and subject-selection mayhem. Thus, the opportunities that on-field projects, activities, internships, etc. bring out a positive change from the rather limited and blinkered path that is seemingly mapped for the students right at the outset. They are able to grow, experience and decide for themselves if they should opt for a copy-writing or an editing job, or whether content marketing could be a better suited option or maybe an internship at a niche art studio would help them venture into niche and emerging areas such as animation, publishing or sports journalism.
Campus placements used as an exploratory tool:
Campus placements in institutes do not necessarily have to be about taking home the biggest salaries, the mad rush and hysteria surrounding Day Zero, all the supposed metrics that have been popularized by the media and certain b-schools we have come to admire. It is a way of self-discovery, of finding your way through the experiences that you gain, the skills that you hone, the sense of professionalism that you inculcate as you interact with various members at different levels of the industry and the choice to explore certain paths that you hadn't really thought about or did not have the opportunity to explore. It doesn't need to be borne out of immediacy, but is necessary nonetheless for the overall betterment of the students.

With sweet honeybush as the foundation, they've layered on freeze-dried peaches and apricots along with cinnamon chips to create a blend that's just as good to smell as it is to drink. (But you probably just want to drink it.)
Category: honeybush
Episode 038: Black Coconut
Surprise! It's another tea from Just Add Honey! I get these in my semi-monthly CSA pack. Their black coconut blend has a lot of great ingredients — black tea, honeybush (for sweetness), cocoa, coconut…and apple?
Even with that odd addition, this is a pretty satisfying cup for morning or after-drinner drinking. Take the coconut flavor to the next level by sweetening this with palm sugar and adding coconut milk! Dessert in a glass!
Purchase Just Add Honey's Black Coconut
Episode 063: Pina Colada Honeybush
Here's another fun and tasty blend from Zoomdweebie's — pina colada honeybush. Naturally sweet honeybush is paired with dried coconut and huge dried pineapple chunks to create a really great dessert-type cup of tea.
Steeping time is a bit long (7-10 minutes!) but it's almost impossible to overbrew this. Sweeten this with honey to bring out the true flavor of the tea! Hot or iced, this tea is fantastic.
Purchase Zoomdweebie's Pina Colada Honeybush
Episode 073: Lemon Drop Cooler
Zoomdweebie's Lemon Drop Cooler is like an all-in-one Uptown (also known as an Arnold Palmer). This honeybush blend is packed with lemon flavor — lemon peel, lemon verbena, lemon balm, lemongrass, and lemon myrtle. That's a whole lotta lemon.
The flavor really shines when this tea is iced. Not that it's bad hot, mind you! Give it a try both ways and see what you like!
Purchase Zoomdweebie's Lemon Drop Cooler
Episode 078: Georgia Peaches
Today I'm trying Just Add Honey's Georgia Peaches — a fitting name for the blend since they're located here in Georgia! A black tea and honeybush blend is used as the base, and peaches, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves are added.
It's definitely more bitter than peachy, and I think that's because of the clove and black tea combination. The peach flavor is heightened with ginger, so I think trying this with a bit of milk or cream might cancel out that astringency.
Overall…it's just not that peachy.

In Focus Brand Photography exclusively specializes in personal brand empowerment photography that makes your image stand out from your competitors while bringing out your authentic self. Diane Wolff Bush is skilled in producing beauty-ful images that convey your message and your brand.
Why Personal Brand Photography????
We live in the age of selfies – snapshots that let your audience in to your life and world. Diane strives to uncover the beauty you may be struggling to capture and share with the world.
There are lots of reasons why personal brand photography is important for anyone looking to succeed, but here are a few…
Personal Brand Photography Helps You Connect
You can place your brand images on your website and use them for your social media posts. Social Media posts that include an image receive 120-180 % more visibility and engagement. The higher the engagment, the more connections your're making. Using personal photos on your posts lets your audience connect with you on a personal level. You want them to "like, know, and trust" you, even if they never actually get to meet you. So, the more personal brand photos, the better!
You Only Get One First Impression
So true. Did you know you only have three seconds to capture someone's attention on a social media feed? That's NOT much time, is it? Your images have to instantly wow in order to stop that finger from scrolling. Once they stop long enough to look at the image, they will read and hear your message.
Additionally, you want to make sure that anyone specifically searching your page is equally impressed – whether a potential client or future boss. Would you not want to come across as a kind professional, attentive individual? Your photos need to represent your best self. A single photoshoot can help improve your brand tremendously. If you change up your look, need to convey a different message, or have the need for new social media images every day, it's important to set up another single or recurring photoshoot.
Personal Brand Photography Helps Build Confidence
Looks are not everything but we can all agree that dressing our best helps our self-confidence and mindset. We all love that "wowza" effect, right?! Professional, powerful images on your social media pages and website are a huge boost to our confidence. And, when your audience sees that you are investing in yourself, that converts into confidence, trust, and loyalty in you and your brand. Personal brand photography works – FOR you – every time, period.
Personal Brand Photography Helps You Stay Trendy
Do you feel like you're out of touch with the latest trends? Need to catch up with the fast pace of technology? Taking the time to update your profile photo on a regular basis can help put across the image that you are trendy and in touch with the times.
Are you an influencer who is setting or telling others about the latest trends? Selfies are fine for some things but personal brand photography sets you above the rest – give yourself credibility and show them your authentic self. And, a side benefit is that you will have more freedom to actually enjoy your time, rather than having to stop every moment of your life to snap that selfie.
Personal Brand Photography Saves You Time and Money
The average person spends a minimum of thirty minutes every day on their social media business posts – that's 37.5 hours a month – three entire weeks a year! What else could you be doing with that time if you weren't snapping, editing, or searching for the right pic to post. When time is money – the financial investment more than pays for itself.
And, what happens when you are asked to be featured in a magazine or on a blog? You'll need to provide personal photos. If you already have personal brand photographs, you will not need to spend additional funds or rush to get hair, make-up, photographer, photo shoot location, a new outfit, etc. Instead, you'll fully be prepared to promote yourself and your brand in the best, most authentic manner.
Personal Brand Photoshoot
Personal branding allows you to connect with your audience in a way that forms a unique and genuine connection. That connection is extremely empowering and is what brings your brand's identity to the next level. Diane has a gift for seeing the real you and helping show your audience who you truly are on this inside – your fully empowered self!
Personal branding and authenticity go hand-in-hand. That is exactly what Diane specifically specializes in, here at In Focus Brand Photography – personal, authentic brand images for those who are empowering themselves and others. For confidence, for influence, and for expert credibility.
Trust Diane to bring out the very best version of you, as she looks through her lens and sees through the eyes of your audience.
How do I prepare for a Personal Brand Photoshoot?
Remember, your brand is not simply a logo. People want to see and get to know you. The way you portray yourself will automatically shout out your brand's identity. Your personal brand is everything we associate with you and your brand. It is your tone of voice, your values, what you offer, and of course, how you are perceived by your target audience. If a picture is worth a thousand words, your audience should be able to connect with you within that initial three seconds.
What message do you want them to visually hear? Think about ways to let them know who you are and ways they can personally connect with you and identify with you and your brand. What are you known for professionally? What are you known for personally? What are your hobbies? What might you have in common with your audience? What is your primary brand color/theme? You'll want to incorporate these types of things in your personal brand photography shoot.
You will want to select the look, outfits, and accessories that best represent your stories and personality. With the Elite Empowerment Package, you will have the added benefit of working with our style and wardrobe specialist who will help you achieve the looks that will best represent the true you! And, our expert hair and makeup artists will assure that you look your very best, radiant, authentic self. We are all here to help you show off your absolute best, empowered, beauty-ful self!
Another benefit of the Elite Empowerment Package is having our Social Media Expert lay out a 30-day social media plan for you. Powerful images, free time, and impact with your audience – who's feeling extra empowered now???
Once things are official, your photo session will be planned around the stories that best represent you. Don't know how to do that? No worries, one of Diane's superpowers is being able to envision the images that portray your specific story – all captured by her lens, as if she's looking through the eyes of your audience. In other words, she's capturing the images that make people connect with you and your brand, creating trust and loyalty.

Meet the Photog…
Diane Wolff Bush
Hey! I'm the photographer behind the lens and I'm thrilled to share my empowerment story with you. My story has molded me into the person I am today and is the driving force behind my reason for working with others who share the same passion for life and purpose.
In 1999, I started my photography career, under the business name of Racing In Focus. By 2001, I was travelling the NASCAR circuit on a full-time basis, working as a member of the press, then for race teams, drivers, and sponsors. My photographic images were published in national magazines and newspapers, as well as on marketing and public relations materials. I also had the opportunity to create autograph hero cards, driver uniform designs, and race car/truck paint schemes. This opportunity allowed for travel across our continent and a wealth of corporate marketing experience.
2006 called for settling back down to start a family. And, I found a way to turn those creative genes into something oh-so-delicious. Beyond Usual Cakes was founded, where I created high-end wedding cake works of art. This business gave me great passion for the small business entrepreneur and taught me the need and tools by which I would market myself and my business. I quickly learned that by letting my audience in on the personal side of me, the owner, as well as the business, it created a personal connection and loyalty. As far as photography – well, this gave me the opportunity to use my skills to tell the story of a product – start to finish and how it was used.
2017 came a life and business changing auto accident. No more cakes. So, what was I to do? I used my love of marketing small business in a unique way to create the ultimate in events – the My Unreal Wedding Expo. Four vendors in each category, four mock-wedding settings to showcase the talents of the vendors, one huge event that would benefit both vendors and brides. And, of course, I tasked myself with producing and marketing the entire production. With five events now under my belt, the wheels are running smoothly! This business has given me the unique opportunity to work with hundreds of businesses each year, helping them target their niche market. I have had the joy of coaching businesses on the marketing of their brand, paying particular attention to their social media presence.
I have the God given passion for photography – I never put the camera down. But, I also have an inate ability to see a business through the eyes of the end user. So, in early 2019, I combined these two talents into creating In Focus Brand Photography – a business that exclusively specializes in helping empower others and make their presence known by utilizing the world of image marketing to the fullest. YOU are your own brand – YOU have your own story to tell – by doing so, you form relationships and create trust and loyalty. That, my friend, is what produces success. And, if you're blessed to have already found that success, then I'd love to capture that essence as you inspire others to their own level of empowerment!
Now you know a bit of my story and my twenty year journey of growth and strength. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you spread it in a beautifully radiant way!

For uncross-linked and cross-linked SBR filled with CB and silica–silane samples, Luo et al. studied the bound rubber effect on 1H T2 decay analyzed using Eq. (16) [58]. Figure 23 shows an example of 1H T2 decays of uncrosslinked SBR (letter U represents "uncross-linked") and cross-linked SBR samples. Because the CB adsorbs SBR chain strongly and fixes the originally free dangling ends, no long T2 decay tail for UC60 (uncross-linked SBR filled with 60 phr CB) was observed while that for US60 (uncross-linked SBR filled with 60 phr silica–silane) was detected.
This suggested that the physical cross-link chains (adsorption junctions) between EPDM and CB do not contribute to the total (chemical plus physical) cross-link density significantly. Furthermore, they observed that the total network density (total mechanically active network density) determined from the stress– strain experiments is larger than that determined by NMR for almost all filled EPDM rubber samples, whereas it is smaller for all unfilled EPDM. From these observations, they pointed out the reason why the total NMR network density was lower than that of mechanically estimated one.
21 indicated that the existence of the region of much shorter T1ρ values, which corresponds to blue (light gray in the print version) colors, can be seen especially at the edge for soft rubber samples A and G. This small T1ρ values correspond to the larger residual dipolar interactions but not the increase of the cross-link density. The larger residual dipolar interactions arise from a reduced distance between interacting protons or from an increase in chain rigidity [64]. The edge of measured sample is the region of stress by punching from the cylindrical rubber plate.

Pues, (that is my favorite word ever in spanish by the way, Grant Davies used to use it all the time:)
Anywho! What's up every body? It feels like I was just writing you all yesterday! time is such a weird thing in the MTC.
I'm pretty convinced that we are actually closer to the center of the earth and experience more gravity, and therefore time moves slower.
DONT LEAVE ME LIKE THIS MURPH! (shoutout to Benny and Devin)
Jk Jk, although no one in my zone has seen Interstellar and it bugs me that I can't have that inside joke with anyone hahaha! This week has been wonderful. I honestly don't know how to describe what happens throughout my day. It is pretty much just: wake up. learn. teach. sleep. repeat.
i know that it may sound dreary, but I can't imagine a better way to spend my day. Our teachers are so dedicated to helping us feel the spirit while we learn and it changes the way you look at class time. I mean don't get me wrong sometimes you feel like you can't last another minute, but (if you are like me) you realize that you have way to much to work on to even be concerned about being bored. Spanish is moving along pretty nicely, although everyone of my teachers wants me to work on rolling my Rs. Literally, they have me do cheesy exercises (which I fail at) and it is probably the root of all of my insecurities in life. The flippin Rs man.
One person that I want to highlight is our investigator Marco. We have been teaching him for a while and every lesson is too special to me. Picture this: A really short stocky old man, wears glasses and walks with crutches, with the type of wrinkled face that makes you realize that he spends most of his day smiling. He might be one of my favorite people ever. He is from Peru and his spanish is so sweet! he says "este" all the time as his "filler" word. I think it has rubbed off on me too which is kindof bad hahaha! anyways, to describe how our lessons go it pretty much starts off nice and doctrinal. We try to get our message across while relating it to his life. The lesson usually ends with him crying. haha I dont say that to proclaim that I am a dope missionary because it is literally all him. to explain something about him:
(all of this is real by the way)
He grew up outside of the church in Peru. His mom joined the church but he was always kind of angry about religion in general. He was pessimistic because he had polio as a child. wow. He also grew up in poverty so basically he is just straight up gnarly.
The lesson that we gave him yesterday was about tithing, which we kinda thought would be a lame discussion. But it is required before he can get baptized. Anyways we talk through this lesson and he tells about how he didnt know how he survived as a child, he said that they literally didnt have enough food to eat most meals. But he said that his mother would always pay her tithing. He didn't know why, and it kindof frustrated him. But he said by some miracle he was able to gain weight and grow as a child. He said that he now knows that it must have been because of the sacrifice of his sweet mother. Right after he explained this story we asked him to read the story about the woman who had nothing, but still gave all that she could. He couldn't finish the first sentence. We scrambled for the tissues and the spirit was absolutely incredible. It is amazing what people have to sacrifice sometimes for this gospel. People like his mother gave/give everything they have in order to receive the knowledge that Jesus is their Christ. What a valiant testimony. We are blessed beyond believe fam. Wow am I grateful to be a part of this gospel, and to- have the opportunity to share this with others.
Anyways, I dont have a ton of time, and I want to apologize to all the people that I suck at writing back too! know that I love you! Thank you all for the Dear Elders, they are wonderful(:
CHLOE TAYLOR! WHOO! congrats on your mission call! that is beyond exciting! Spanish is the best language. And guess what? and Elder in my district is going to your exact mission! so you will probably meet! his name is Elder Whetten. I will send Pics.
(ps. sorry i have nobodys email so i can't send this to you individually)
One funny thing is that I started a really bad tradition of "slumbies" in my zone. Me and Elder Boyce are alone is our room so we have 4 mattresses that don't get used. So basically we build huge forts and have sleepovers all the time. FUN right? no. It is impossible to get any sleep and it usually ends with me saying something like,
"This is the Lord's time Elders, please go to bed or I will beat you repeatedly"
I love you all and you are all in my prayers!
Elder Stewart-Chester
ps. MOM send me my overalls PLEASE(:

Many times we end up things saying like I wish this could have happened or I wish this would happen. I wish.. I wish..
The most fantastic magical things can happen and it all starts with a wish. But it purely matters on a believe which some have and some not. Whether we believe or not but once in a all, we have made any or the other wish;the wish of somebody's presence, the wish of something to happen etc etc. Not only 'we' but dream of ours is a wish that our heart makes. How fascinating is this? Even our heart believes on the magic of universe, on the magic of believe.
But our part is not over at making a wish, its just a start as you have to work upon it at the very next moment. We are never given the wish without the power of making it true. So let's start. And if you don't believe then remember;
"If you want something you have never had, then you have got to do something you have never done"
So deary people! Here's for all of you
"Whisper a wish to butterfly and it will fly upto heaven and make it come true"
So at last, nothing is wrong in making any wish. Dream it. Do it. Wish it.
- P. S. – So what are you wishing? You are welcome to share your wishes, ideas and thoughts in the comment section.
