When planning a vacation to Ostsee (Baltic Sea) in Europe, it is essential to keep in mind few things before booking an accommodation. The destination offers a variety of tourist attractions and a peaceful vacation in the lap of the sea and nature.
Here, is a checklist that should be considered while choosing a Schlosshotel in Ostsee :
It is the most influential factor as its proximity to main attractions, fun parks, restaurants and beaches affect one's decision. If someone is visiting for an urgent business meeting than it should be very close to the town centre and transport facilities. Closeness to sporting facilities, medical services and shopping centers also play a crucial role.
A good sleep can not be compared with anything, and most of the hotels are replacing their old furniture with new and soft mattresses. A bed with so many pillows and quilts or bedsheets is not an ideal one to sleep, hence make a bed an important matter of consideration. Look for the queen sized beds and do not forget to confirm the cleanliness.
An attached bathroom with all accessories like a fresh and soft towel, perfumed soaps, shampoo and modern shower should be considered. Water pressure play a decisive role; thus, make sure to choose an accommodation with good shower facilities.
Internet Connection
Whether it is wired or wireless, Internet connection is an essential, especially when one is visiting for business purpose. To stay at the top with news, e-mails or presentations, a high-speed Internet plays a very prominent role.
Air Conditioning
A room with adequate air conditioning is worth investing than a room with no temperature control. Make sure to check whether the hotel is providing proper air-conditioning facilities or not.
Having a delicious breakfast in the room itself is like enjoying a vacation with no worries of finding a restaurant and hunting through its menu. Try to choose the resort that provides free breakfast to its guests.
Swimming Pool
Those planning to stay in a luxurious hotel should look for indoor or outdoor swimming pool facilities. Some of the best resorts provide world-class facilities including pool, massage centers, spas, saunas, etc. Try to make a vacation an unforgettable one with top-notch facilities.
It is an indispensable factor to consider whether one is visiting by his/her own car or hiring the services of private or public transfers. Check whether the hotel is offering shuttle services to the local attraction, shopping centers and airport.
Those planning a trip with family or friends, it is a better idea to book an accommodation with an attached mini-kitchen. A clean microwave and small refrigerator are like a bonus that help visitors to cook their own food.
Search a variety of options available using Internet and make an outstanding choice based on above mentioned criterion.

At Philadelphia La Fayette saw the American troops for the first time, and, according to his own account, was struck at their grotesque appearance—with green boughs fastened to their hats — coarse hunting-shirts instead of uniforms — and muskets, many wanting bayonets, and all of unequal make and size. But he soon learnt to think more favourably of these raw levies, when, notwithstanding all their disadvantages, he observed their conduct in the field. With regard to their commander, his early impressions never changed. It was also at Philadelphia, and at a dinner-table, comprising several members of the Congress, that La Fayette was introduced to Washington. The boy-General found himself warmly welcomed by the chief whom he had long admired. "When you come to "the army," said Washington, "I shall be pleased if you "will make my quarters your home, and consider your"self as one of my family." The invitation thus frankly tendered was no less frankly accepted. Thus did a cordial intimacy arise between them, Washington at all times treating La Fayette with fatherly kindness, and La Fayette looking up to Washington with filial regard.
La Fayette had already begun to speak a little English, and by degrees acquired more. But to the last the difficulties of the language were a main obstacle, not only to himself, but to every other foreigner who served with, or under, the United States. Thus there are still preserved some of the ill-spelled and scarce intelligible notes of Count Pulasky, during the short time that he served as General of cavalry.* Still worse was the case of Baron Steuben, a veteran of the school of Frederick the Second, who joined the Americans a few months later than La Fayette, and who greatly aided them in the establishment of discipline. The Baron, it appears, could not teach and drill, nor even swear and curse, but by means of an interpreter! He was, therefore, most fortunate in securing as his aide-de-camp Captain Walker of New York— most fortunate, if, as his American biographer assures us, "there was not, perhaps, another officer in the army,
* See one of these notes in Reed's Life and Correspondence, vol. i, p. 318.
"unless Hamilton be excepted, who could speak French "and English so as to be well understood in both."*
La Fayette did not always confine himself to the bounds of his own profession; sometimes, and, perhaps, not greatly to his credit, he stepped beyond them. Here is one case recorded with much satisfaction by himself. He states, that soon after his arrival in America, and while attending on Sunday the service of the Church of England, he was displeased with the clergyman, because in his sermon he had said nothing at all of politics. "I charged him to his "face," says La Fayette, "with preaching only about "Heaven! . . . But next Sunday," continues the keen young officer, "I heard him again, when his loud invec"tives against 'the execrable House of Hanover,' showed "that he was ready and willing to take my good advice." f
Even before La Fayette had landed in the Carolinas, the campaign had re-commenced in the Jerseys. General Washington had remained through the winter encamped at Morristown, at the head of most scanty forces. "Nothing," he wrote, "but a good face and false appearances have "enabled us hitherto to deceive the enemy respecting "our strength." X He therefore cautioned the Congress carefully to conceal the real numbers of their army from the public. And in his own correspondence we find him lay a similar injunction on his Generals. Thus, for example, he says to Putnam, "You will give out your "strength to be twice as great as it is."§ This rule of doubling, this necessity to keep up false appearances—is not to be overlooked by the reader of the American State Papers at this period, who may desire to deduce from
* Life of Baron Steuben, by Bowen, p. 23. ed. 1838, in Sparks's Collection. Mr. Bowen adds: "As the Baron slowly acquired our "language, his eagerness and warmth of temper would frequently "involve him in difficulties. On such occasions, after exhausting all "the execrations he could think of in German and French, he would "call upon his faithful Aid for assistance: 'Venez, WaUer, mon "' ami! Sacre de gaucherie of dese badauds; je n'en puis plus! I "' can curse dem no more !'"
f "Memoires de ma main," Corresp. vol. i. p. 60. ed. 1837.

them the exact numbers of the killed and wounded in any conflict, or of the armies then engaged.
As the spring advanced, the Commander-in-chief received considerable reinforcements, though less than he had hoped. Since, as will presently be shown, an invasion of the United States was commencing from Lower Canada, and since, therefore, it was necessary to strengthen, in no slight degree, the American army on that side, there were, of course, proportionally fewer to join the ranks of Washington. Of men able and fit for duty he could not muster so many as 8,000. With these, however, he advanced from Morristown to Middlebrook, within ten miles of the British posts of Brunswick. There the engineers were busily employed in the construction of a portable bridge intended for the passage of the Delaware. But Sir William Howe had delayed the commencement of his operations for many weeks, on the plea that the green forage was not yet on the ground. At length, in the second week of June, he appeared in person at Brunswick, bent upon renewing the conquest of the Jerseys and the march on Philadelphia. A skirmish ensued at Quibbletown between one of the English and one of the American divisions, when the former, with Lord Cornwallis at its head, put to the rout the latter, commanded by Stirling. But Sir William did not deem it advisable to assail the American Commanderin-chief at Middlebrook, a strong, and, moreover, strongly fortified position, and he was foiled in his endeavours to draw him to a battle in the open country. Under such circumstances, Sir William suddenly changed his plans. Still viewing Philadelphia as his object, he determined to reach it by sea instead of land. He relinquished the Jerseys, withdrew his troops both from Brunswick and Amboy, and embarked them closely pressed in transports at the sultriest season of the year. Even admitting, which may well be doubted, that such a. course was the better on military grounds, Howe should have remembered how far it tended to depress his moral influence—how far it would give to the reduction of Philadelphia, even if most prosperous, the appearance of surprise rather than of conquest.
The retirement of the British troops from the Jerseys, and their embarkation at New York, were a riddle to Washington. He was in doubt to what quarter they might steer, or in what direction he should march. Still, on weighing probabilities carefully and shrewdly, he continued to make Philadelphia his principal care. At length news reached him that the British fleet had been seen off the Capes of the Delaware; upon which, without delay, he moved his troops to Germantown, himself proceeding for a few days to the seat of Congress. During this interval of suspense the spirits of the Americans were raised by a slight but well-planned enterprise in another quarter. General Prescott, who commanded the British forces in Rhode Island, had taken up his quarters at a house about five miles from Newport, and one from the water-side. In this secluded situation, and at the dead of night. he was surprised in bed by a band of forty Rhode Island volunteers, was hurried on board their boats, without allowing him time to put on his clothes, and was successfully borne away a prisoner; thus affording the Americans the means of exchanging an officer of equal rank for General Lee. With so much silence and so much skill was this enterprise conducted, that neither the British sloops of war in the bay, nor yet the General's guard, stationed only two hundred yards from the house in which he slept, were alarmed.
At the Capes of Delaware the British chiefs received exaggerated reports as to the American defences up that river, and were induced once more to change their plans. Steering to the southward, and sailing round a vast extent of country, they entered the Chesapeak, and ascended the stream to the Head of Elk. There, on the 25th of August, the troops were set on shore. In numbers they were about 14,000*, about 8,000 more having been left behind at New York under the charge of General, now Sir Henry, Clinton. There is scarce any folly for which some arguments may not be found; but it must be owned that the conduct of Howe on this occasion seems at first sight wholly unaccountable. In the spring his troops had stood in array at Brunswick. He had now, by the circuit of many hundred miles, and the delay of many
* Sir William Howe's Narrative, &c., p. 23. ed. 1780,
weeks brought them round to the Head of Elk. But he was certainly no nearer to his final object; for, while Brunswick is sixty miles from Philadelphia, the Head of Elk is full seventy. The intervening country, moreover, though at that period well affected to the Royal Cause, is less open than the Jerseys.
Nor yet by this wide circuit did the British General keep clear of the enemy's troops. They were now at Germantown, ready to withstand him, and increased by accessions of Militia to fourteen thousand men. The first step of Washington was to march them, but without halting, through the streets of Philadelphia, on purpose, as he says, to awe the loyal, or as he terms it, the disaffected party in that city.* He found the Members of the Congress of better cheer, and more inclined to be steady at their posts than they had been last December; and marching onwards, he resolved to risk a battle for their protection and defence.
About midway between Pennsylvania and the Head of Elk, two forks or branches of a stream from the upper counties, uniting in a single channel, flow down to the Delaware. That stream, or as the Americans would say, that "creek," is known by the genial name of Brandywine, and the same appellation has been applied to the battle fought upon its banks. At day-break, on the 11th of September, the American army was ranged along the eastern side. Sir William Howe, before he came in sight, formed his troops in two divisions; the one, under General Knyphausen, to advance and stand firm in front: the other, under Earl Cornwallis, to pass round by the forks of the Brandywine, and take the enemy in flank. The latter march, though long and toilsome, was executed by Cornwallis ably and successfully; towards four in the afternoon, he charged the American right and rear, while at the same time, at the sound of the filing, their front was assailed by Knyphausen. Under these circumstances, the discomfiture of the Americans was complete ; they retreated in great confusion and by different routes, leaving the British masters of the field. The Marquis de La Fayette, who was present at this action, the first that he

Led by China with 30,500 MW of new installations, the global wind power industry installed 63,013 MW in 2015, representing annual market growth of 22%, according to a report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). Total global wind capacity reached 432,419 MW at the end of 2015, representing cumulative growth of 17%.
"Wind power is leading the charge in the transition away from fossil fuels," says Steve Sawyer, secretary general of GWEC. "Wind is blowing away the competition on price, performance and reliability, and we're seeing new markets open up across Africa, Asia and Latin America – which will become the market leaders of the next decade. Wind power led new capacity additions in both Europe and the United States, and new turbine configurations have dramatically increased the areas where wind power is the competitive option."
GWEC says that as a result of its extraordinary annual market, China has edged past the European Union (EU) in terms of total installed capacity, with 145.1 GW compared to the EU's 141.6 GW. The Chinese government's drive for clean energy, supported by continuous policy improvement, is motivated by the need to reduce dependence on coal, which is the main source of the choking smog strangling China's major cities, as well as growing concern over climate change.
Elsewhere in Asia, India chalked up a respectable 2,623 MW, pushing past Spain into fourth place in terms of cumulative capacity, after China, the U.S. and Germany; and Japan, South Korea and Taiwan added some new capacity, as well.
In the U.S., GWEC says more than 5,000 MW was installed in a remarkable fourth quarter, which resulted in an annual market of 8,598 MW and a cumulative total of 74,471 MW. Due to the five-year production tax credit extension passed in 2015, GWEC adds, the future looks very bright for the U.S. wind business, with longer market visibility than it's ever had before.
Canada installed 1,506 MW, pushing past the 10 GW barrier to end 2015 with 11,200 MW; and Mexico chalked up 714 MW to end the year at 3,073 MW.
Germany led a stronger-than-expected performance in Europe, with a record 6 GW of new installations, including 2.3 GW offshore. Poland (1,266 MW), France (1,073), the U.K. (975 MW) and Turkey (956 MW) also helped lead the market. There are now 16 European countries with more than 1,000 MW installed and nine countries with more than 5,000 MW.
Despite its economic and political woes, Brazil installed a record 2,754 MW, with cumulative capacity reaching 8.7 GW. Uruguay took a giant step closer to its goal of 100% renewable energy with a 2015 market of 316 MW, bringing cumulative installations to 845 MW. New wind power was also added in Panama, Chile, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and Argentina.
GWEC says the Middle East and Africa was led by South Africa's 483 MW market in 2015, pushing the country's total installations over the 1 GW mark. Jordan opened its first large commercial wind power plant in 2015, and Ethiopia added a large new plant, pushing the region's total to 3,289 MW.
Progress in Australia was slow, but it did add 380 MW to push the country's total installations to over 4 GW.
"2015 was a big year for the big markets: China, the U.S., Germany and Brazil – all of which set new records," says Sawyer. "But there is a lot of activity in new markets around the world, and I think in 2016 we'll see a broader distribution."

Future-oriented people have the chance to get inspired. They can get impulses and concepts to enhance conflict consistency and efficiency of work. Additionally they can learn about the sense of responsibility and mindfulness with regard to the establishment of an appreciated organisational culture as well as a new quality of work.
Conflict management & Mediation:
Conflicts in companies do not only have negative consequences for interpersonal relationships but they also cause measureable costs. Processes do not run smoothly or not at all. Conflicts emerge
particularly in times of changes. Reliability and efficiency, agility and the ability for change are aspects which you can optimize by more conflict consistency.
If you are wondering about the way how your company can handle conflicts, you should contact ANDESCHAK.biz. We are going to support you and your company by means of mediation, moderation and negotiation in a concrete case or we help with the development and implementation of a conflict management system.
This is how we can support you to improve conflict management in your organisation:
• Check up conflict and change ability
• Workshop 'conflict consistency' for teams
• Clarification of existing individual conflicts
• Introduction of a conflict management system
• Seminar: Conflict clarification for leaders
• Seminar: Communication and conflict
Nowadays employees want to get more involved in decision processes. The importance of the own work has to be experienced. Therefore it is essential for future-oriented companies to cooperate with their employees when it comes to the development of new topics and the introduction of changes.
ANDRESCHAK.biz supports you with modern forms of moderation for your teams and also for bigger groups. Modern approaches are Appreciative Inquiry, a so called Future Conference or World Café for example.
Employer Branding & Organisational Culture:
Regarding employees as a client is the central approach of all projects that deal with employer branding. The existing organisational culture is very essential for this topic. With an organisational culture which can't be felt by everybody, there will be no long term commitment of employees or candidates.
ANDRESCHAK.biz is going to support you if you want to make your organisation a pleasant partner for your factual and potential employees.
On your way to make your organisational culture more vivid the audit ''Zukunftsfähige Unternehmenskultur'' could be a first step where ANDRESCHAK.biz can support you.

Maybelline Color Show Denims is an old collection where the colors are meant to resemble denim. This is Denim Dash. It's a light blue with white shimmers. I put a glossy coat on top which actually reduced the denim effect. I should have left it alone! Either way, it's a pretty color.

Maybelline Vintage Leather Plush Plum
I saw the new Maybelline Vintage Leather Collection at my local Target this weekend. I was curious, so I picked up three of the 10 colors.
Basically, it's a matte collection with some weird shimmery things meant to ruff it up. After I put on Plush Plum, I decided that I hated it so I'm going to return or sell Mod Moss and Camel. There are about 1,000 better matte nail polishes out there. These ones aren't even well done! After I got all butthurt about the "holo" collection (aka not holo and totally ugly collection) I don't even know why I gave a new Maybelline collection a chance. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice….
So for now, I'm pretty much done with any Maybelline special polishes. Their normal cream polishes are fine, but they are totally failing at the trendy, fun stuff.
Plush Plum
New Maybelline Holographic Collection
While shopping for groceries today, I saw a display for the new Maybelline Holographic collection. Being a holo-a-holic, I had to get all five! The colors are Allurig Rose, Bold Gold, Lavender Lustre, Blue Blaze, and Mystic Green.
From left to right: Bold Gold, Lavender Luster, Blue Blaze
From left to right: Mystic Green, Alluring Rose
Alluring Rose is much more duochrome than it is holographic. It's still pretty, but I don't think it should be marked as a holo. It shifts from gold to a light rose gold. It reminds me of China Glaze Swanky Silk.
Lavender Lustre: Again, this one is much more duochrome and not at all holographic. I really feel like I'm getting taken for a ride! Maybelline has lost a lot of credibility with me with this collection. This one is light purple…and not even very pretty! It shifts from a weird gray to a light purple.
Bold Gold: This one is a chrome finish…which you'll notice is not holographic. I'm getting more and more annoyed. The color is actually ok on this one. It's a good gold. But, with all of these polishes, the finish is such that you can see every tiny flaw on the nails.
Blue Blaze: This one is a duochrome finish (not holographic!!) and shifts from gray to light blue. This one is not very pretty.
Mystic Green: I did not swatch this color. I returned the whole collection to the store, I was that disappointed!!!
Do not buy. In my opinion, there is not a single one worth picking up. Not only are they being FALSELY marketed as holographic, they're not even pretty colors!!!

I am very intrigued by this base coat. The idea is that you will be able to peel the polish off later, I guess without needed polish remover. For $3, I thought it was worth the experiment!

Maybelline Color Show Magenta Mirage
Here is Maybelline Color Show Magenta Mirage over Sally Hansen Black Out. This is a beautiful magenta that is very vivid and pigmented. I am excited to try it over a lot of different colors.
In other news, my car is having trouble starting. I hate car troubles! It's one of those problems where you really just feel helpless and stranded! Fingers crossed that the repairs will be inexpensive!
Thanks for stopping by!

Yet another option is to take existing cat tree plans and modify them. This is a great option if you want a unique tree but don't necessarily have the desire or skill to start making your own cat tree plans. Although, you will most likely have to still purchase the original plans you wish to modify. Whatever method you use, be sure to keep your cat's enjoyment in mind, which most likely means lots of cat toys and napping areas.

Knowing in your bones...
The last few Nature School days have been full of precious memories, joyful laughter, sliding and discovery. I've been reminded of the work of early child educator Diane Kashin, who talks about a 'knowing in your bones:' "To know something in your bones is an idiom that refers to feeling something intuitively. For early childhood educators to support outdoor play they need to feel the power of nature for themselves...there is one childhood and one chance. When we know it in our bones we value outdoor and nature play, we see the benefits and will provide children with the necessary experiences."
I've been feeling a 'knowing in my bones' about the astounding effect of play in nature, and have just been relishing in it....
-sitting at the bottom of the 'otter sliding' hill and watching the play that emerges, sometimes raucous and giggly with piles and tumbling, sometimes orderly with lines and turn-taking.
-watching a child discover a special 'branchy' spot in a tree where he loves sit quietly and observe around him....
-hiding behind a stump and waiting for wolf cubs to come find me, overhearing their conversation as they followed my tracks through the snow.
-discovering woodpecker feathers near the school, on the ground, and engaging in a 'mystery-filled' conversation about what might have happened to the bird...
-discovering a hollow cedar stump in the bushes, and rolling it out to the trail for play. A treasure-holder, a hole for filling, a magical home for creatures...
-watching the spark in a 3 year olds eyes as she watched some older boys tree climbing, and her excitement to one-day climb in trees too...
-listening to emergent conversations between Melissa and some of the wolf cubs about animal tracks they discovered
-observing the stillness, seriousness and calm focus as the children drew pictures in silence during a sit spot time...
-running down the trail after a group of children, and shaking trees together to create 'snowstorms' on our heads. Pull your hood up tight, get ready for the snow to come!
-warming up together by the fire, sharing tea, stories, jokes and laughs.
We have been reading 'Over in the Forest--Come Take a Peek,' and 'The Animal's Winter Sleep,' both of which provided us with plenty to learn to about forest creatures and lots of counting opportunities.
The final opportunity of the day for teamwork and collaboration...it almost always emerges, and here the wolf pack is towing our gear back to the school. A lil' bit of uphill work, and little bit of downhill silliness when the sled overtakes their little legs!
Hanging onto winter...
Last week at Nature School we had kids who knew what they wanted to do, and got right down to business. The giant snowball has been a continual work in progress by a few of the wolf cubs, carving out holes, sliding in and out, attaching sticks and many more variations.
On Wednesday, we had a date with Mr. Mitchell's Gr.7 class, who joined us in the forest. It's always an interesting time when the big kids join the littles, and by the end the Nature School kids are talking about their 'special buddies.' The Gr. 7's spent some time dreaming up original stories to tell aloud to their buddies, and while I didn't catch entire stories, I heard whisps about forest animals, aliens, pirate ships and trips to the moon. There's something about storytelling in the forest that never gets old! After a silly song, the Gr.7's were finding ways to play with the wolf cubs--hide and seek, running and sliding on the trail--more than one Gr.7 expressed amazement at how some of the younger kids can climb!
It was a special moment that stopped a group of our kids in their tracks, when a squirrel appeared not 10 feet away, frozen to it's tree, and staring right at us. The kids stopped what they were doing and immediately wanted to sneak quietly and closely towards the squirrel. We talked afterwards about some of the reasons a squirrel might sit so still, not even twitching (maybe fear, protecting a food stash...)
Some of the newer wolf cubs learned about the common berries we see in our forest--rosehip, mountain ash and snowberries, and how some are ok to nibble and others definitely not! They got to see my exaggerated 'yucky' face while I sampled a mountain ash berry--edible by not enjoyable by any stretch!
On Friday, we tried an experiment to exercise our peripheral vision, imagining that we could see the way an animal could--with great awareness as to what is happening on the sides of our vision. The kids were invited to choose a tree to 'glue' their eyes to, while seeing how far they could see around them. Sit Spot is a great time to practice these kind of observation skills!
Last week our older group, the Nature Explorers, had the chance to see our new group 'Tipi Tent,' which we learned takes a few people to set up and requires some different pegs for the snow! We can't wait to cozy up inside with some books on a rainy day.
A New Year for the Nature Kids!
Hello and thanks for reading the first blog our of winter session! Both our programs-- Nature Explorers for K-4, and Nature School for 3-5's--have kicked off, thankfully with a fresh snowfall to start things off!
At Nature School this week, the children would have been content to stay on Canyon School's front field and roll giant snowballs the whole morning. Instead, we gobbled our snack and headed to the forest to explore the fresh snow there. The 200 metre walk across the field is sometimes a long haul for the new 3 year olds. They put in so much effort, wearing those special magic packs that help build strong muscles. We hold hands and sing and look at animal tracks along the way, and I know that by spring those same 3 year olds will be galloping and running to the gate with their longer legs newfound confidence!
The wolf cubs hauled our sleds to the Tipi, and after morning circle we were busy, busy, busy--building castles, digging tunnels, sliding, making snow popsicles, following Gruffalo tracks (and some real animal tracks too!). We re-discovered our sit spots, enjoying the quiet of the forest, and 'stretched' our owl ears to hear all of the sounds around us.
On Friday, we looked as a group at some pictures of traditional Ktuxana tipis, to appreciate how people from Creston once lived in them as shelters. The children were quite interested to see a picture of a whole village of tipis. Then, a short and sweet story/legend about 'how owl got his big eye,' even practicing making big silly owl eyes ourselves, and making owl hoots. A few kids helped create big star out of sticks, which we tied up with yarn, decorated with sprigs of cedar and hung on the fence. So, so happy to be back in the forest with the kids connecting with nature and each other.
At Nature Explorers this week, with our K-4's, we visited our much-talked about and anticipated winter site, an area of Community Forest land in Canyon. It was a winter wonderland of fresh snow, and kids were sliding and romping before we even started our hike to basecamp. What should we call this place, we wondered? The children are thinking of names for this place that will come to be special to us....Everyone in this group has a unique animal name (squirrel, elk, owl, raccoon....) that we call each other by, and the children really come to identify with their names, considering which traits of the animals are similar to their own personalities, and learning about them over the session. Some days you might find 'Hawk' building herself a nest, or 'Fox' sneaking up on someone. We challenged the kids this week to learn--'What is life like for your animal in the winter?' The kids will research at home and informally share with the group about their findings...
We played a game that involved being very quiet and sneaking up on a blindfolded 'fire tender' guarding a pile of sticks, and spent some time preparing our site: tromping down snow for a fire area, laying and lighting the fire, hauling logs for sitting on...The kids were so very eager to help!!
And then, play in the forest....running, climbing on upturned tree roots, making up games, creating a melty snowman...
We enjoyed hearing Byrd Baylor's book, 'The Other Way to Listen,' at snack time, having some wonderful conversation about special spots where you can sit and be still, tuning into all of the small and wonderful lessons nature can teach you..

When you are working and earning an income, you can be your most profitable asset. But once you retire, you are no longer the income-producing asset you once were, which means you'll need to rely on other assets to generate that income for you.
Making sure that you carefully save and invest in assets that are capable of helping produce a lifetime supply of income is far too important to leave to chance.
A successful retirement can be the result of how effectively you are able to LEVERAGE and DISTRIBUTE your existing assets, not just how well you SAVE them.
You are the architect of your financial house, and building your retirement dream home is a matter of structuring your assets so they can grow and generate income but also remain flexible enough to weather even the most unexpected of storms.
Luckily, there is a retirement tool capable of doing just that! Create your complimentary account to download your Retirement Income Toolkit and to learn strategies that will help you design the retirement you deserve.

Hosted by the Communist Workers' Organisation
New Class Composition? New Struggle?
The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers.
The Communist Manifesto
"Unprecedented" is the extent of the strike so far by University lecturers in the UK, just as was the strike of junior doctors last year. The proletarianisation of the professions in the era of global finance capitalism has created a new class composition. New forms of organisation and solidarity across different sections (see the UK-based students supporting their lecturers in occupations and on picket lines) are also in the air and some are even questioning the viability of the system. Passing phase or pointer to the future? Come share experiences and discuss the significance of the latest strikes.

text: June 17, 2013 Slab in the Rain Blake MohrWall Lake IA Although it was raining pretty steadily and showing no signs of letting up, a friend and I decided to don the rain gear and head out onto a local gravel pit in search of panfish. We'd had success in previous years trolling a south facing bay for a mixed bag of bluegills, crappies, perch, and yellow bass. After a couple of hours with just a few small bass and bluegills, we finally got into a concentration of crappies. We threw out a marker buoy, anchored down and started pitching jigs with plastics. Within a few casts, I hooked onto a big fish, at least big by ultralight tackle standards. Once it got to the boat, I knew it was a huge crappie. I lifted her into the boat, took a quick picture and measurement and immediately released her. It measured out to 15.5". My personal best black crappie to date.

Green Building Elevates Expectations
Our favorite green media company, Greener World Media based here in Oakland, came out with their inaugural "State of Green Business 2008" report today. Unfortunately, most US businesses are not making much progress going green. One shining light is Green Build. This sector appears to be pulling out ahead of the rest and we hope will encourage other industries to follow suit.
The following is the Green Build portion of the report.
In a year that saw the construction market go from boom to bust, green building was one of the industry's few bright spots. The green market, building for years, began soaring in 2007, as several marquee projects opened their doors and some big-time initiatives were born.
Among the bright green ribbon cuttings of 2007 were the Clinton Presidential Library (LEED Platinum rating), the New York Times Tower in Midtown New York (Gold rating), and the U.S. Federal Building in San Francisco (Gold rating). So prevalent are green buildings in New York City, every one of the more than 50 projects valued above $25 million now developing in lower Manhattan is being built along environmental guidelines, according to the Financial Times.
In this fast-rising environment, green building is becoming less the exception than the norm, embraced by sectors ranging from hotels to health care to housing. Nearly 80 percent of workplace and corporate real estate executives say being more environmentally sustainable is a major issue for today's businesses, and they are willing to pay a premium to achieve it, according to a survey from CoreNet Global and Jones Lang LaSalle. More than half of corporate respondents in the study said they now own, manage, or lease a green property, according to a survey published in Real Estate Investor and Retail Traffic magazines.
The price premium for green building is shrinking, reducing one of the few remaining barriers to the industry's growth. Indeed, that premium is often overestimated, sometimes significantly, according to a study from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Moreover, green building can provide a competitive advantage in a tough market, says a report on energy saving building technologies from Carbon Free.
Several industry initiatives have promised to give a further push to green building practices. The Clinton Climate Initiative partnered with Wal-Mart and the U.S. Conference of Mayors to help make energy–efficient building products more affordable. CCI will enable its purchasing consortium to offer cheaper environmentally friendly products to the 1,100 U.S. cities involved in the mayors' conference. Another Clinton initiative involved some of the world's largest cities, from Bangkok to Berlin, which will benefit from a $5 billion Large Buildings Retrofit Program aimed at helping reduce energy use and curbing greenhouse gas emissions around the globe.
Where will all this go? A report from market researcher SBI found that the booming green building market will continue its rapid expansion through 2011, more than doubling in size to $4.7 billion in the next four years. The report predicted that the market for green building materials, which has been growing at a rate of 23 percent annually through 2006, will slow slightly, to a "mere" 17 percent, still at ear-popping heights.

Donald Trump hails meeting with Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull: 'It was great'
PRESIDENT Donald Trump held his first-face-to-face meeting with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and declared that they "get along great", following an acrimonious phone call in January that strained ties between the two allies.
"They said we had a rough phone call. We didn't really have a rough phone call," Trump said in dinner remarks. "It got a little bit testy. But that's okay."
Dressed in tuxedos as they prepared to attend a dinner, the two leaders met on board the USS Intrepid, a World War Two aircraft carrier that is now a museum moored on Manhattan's West Side. Joined by their wives, the two leaders later attended a gala to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea.
Donald Trump said the first face-to-face meeting with Malcolm Turnbull was 'great'
He declared they got along following a phone call in January that strained ties
Prime Minister Turnbull was one of the first foreign leaders President Trump spoke to after taking office on January 20.
The Republican president became irritated that he was expected to honour an agreement made by his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama, to accept as many as 1,250 refugees held in Australian processing centres on remote Pacific islands.
The two leaders met on a World War Two aircraft carrier that is now a museum in Manhattan
President Trump had broken off what was supposed to be an hour-long call after 25 minutes and later tweeted that the refugee agreement was a "dumb deal" and vowed to study it.
They said we had a rough phone call. We didn't really have a rough phone call
The call aroused criticism and raised questions about his diplomatic skills.
Vice President Mike Pence visited Australia in April and made clear that while President Trump was not happy about the refugee agreement, the United States would honour it out of respect for Australia.
Under the agreement, Australia is to resettle refugees from three Central American countries.
The get-together with Prime Minister Turnbull was delayed because of Trump's hastily arranged White House celebration with Republicans from the US House of Representatives after they narrowly passed a healthcare bill that would repeal and replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.
The measure has yet to come before the Senate.
President Trump and Prime Minister Turnbull were all smiles as they answered questions about the January phone call and the refugee deal during a picture-taking session.
"We get along great. We have a fantastic relationship, I love Australia, I always have," Trump said.
They attended a gala to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea
Prime Minister Turnbull added: "We can put the refugee deal behind you and move on."
President Trump said the refugee deal had been "worked out for a long time" and that reporters had exaggerated the phone call.
"We had a great call," he said, adding, "I mean, we're not babies."
"Young at heart," added Prime Minister Turnbull.
President Trump vowed to visit Australia as president, calling it "one of the great, great places" and noted he had many friends there. One such friend, pro golfer Greg Norman, was among the attendees at the Intrepid dinner.

Southampton is a port city on England's south coast and
is your gateway to the English countryside, historical monuments and of course, London. Visit mysterious Stonehenge, explore the seaside or take a trip into London and see the famous sights.
Now first, although it says (London/Southampton) you should know that London is over 2 hrs away, by coach, from where you will berth. So, make sure you plan.
We start closer to home, or port.
Southampton SeaCity museum; The majority of the museum is taken up with the Titanic history which is done very well. This museum is not an expensive option and an hour or so visit is all you need. It is centrally located within walking distance from the city centre cruise port.
Southampton Town Walls; It is surprising what you learn when you walk the walls and follow the trail. Historically all along the walk guides you and is fascinating. Just over a mile, best to start at the Bargate, however you can start at any point really. Watch out for the medieval wine vaults, medieval churches and also a view of the waterfront where you can see the ships coming and going.
Tudor House and Garden; Lovely museum house that you can walk around. Highly recommended if you want to use up and hour or two and is part of the city wall walk. Entrance fee is £5pp (2017)
Try a trip to one of the lovely villages in the New Forest, maybe Beaulieu and take on the National Motor Museum.
A little further afield you have Portsmouth Harbour. Visit Mary Rose and HMS Victory along with as much of the Naval Dockyard as possible.
If you a looking at a visit to London then I suggest, because of the distance, you book and organised trip.

Trees can be the number one victim of cold weather. The reason for your tree's deterioration is not just because of one thing but because of many things that accumulated through time. When your tree is under stress, it is more vulnerable to pests, diseases, and other factors that can affect its health. The cold weather, snow, and salt is scattered on the road can have an adverse effect on your tree and eventually cause its death. In some cases, these damages show right away, but sometimes it takes time. Good news is that you can do something to minimize or even prevent damage to your trees in the winter season.
People and animals are not the only ones who get affected by the cold winter season—even trees are put under stress, mainly if they are not accustomed to the temperature. As much as possible, plant a tree in their safe areas. Flower-producing trees are most vulnerable to winter cold, which is why it is best to plant them where there are barriers that can block the wind from directly hitting them. It could be a fence, building, or other trees. With the help of a barrier, the temperature will not fluctuate too quickly.
During the cold season, trees can have frost crack or shrinkage due to the frost. These cracks usually go deep, and because of the cold temperature, the outer layer of the tree will shrink more quickly. It leaves the tree susceptible to damage, especially in the trunk. Don't try to self-diagnose your tree, instead call a certified arborist so you will know what to do with your tree.
Trees shed their leaves off in the winter, and this leaves the tree open to a lot of outside factors. In times of bright winter days, the sun shines as if it's summer. The heat of the sun together with the cold temperature is a deadly combination for trees. It can lead to irreversible damages and sunscald. This is especially the case for younger trees that have thinner barks. Sunscald destroys the healthy cells in the bark that result in damage. The bark eventually gets cracks and falls away. You can prevent sunscald by wrapping the limbs come winter. You should not forget to remove the wrap when spring comes.
The cold season can be frustrating, especially if you have trees that are vulnerable to damage. Although we cannot do anything about ice and snow, the damage they can brig can be eliminated or minimized at the least. Snow damage happens when the limbs or the entire tree breaks. This is typically the car for evergreen trees. Evergreen trees tend to have an increased surface area that traps more snow. The branches become heavier, especially the tips of the limbs. A straightforward way to prevent this damage is to shake the snow off the limbs. You can also tie limbs together using a soft rope for added support. Don't forget to remove the cord once the spring comes. Regardless of the damage, your tree incurred during winter, it is best to call a certified arborist to assess the overall health of your tree. Avoid making decisions without being adequately informed by a professional because you may be causing more harm than good to your tree. Pruning or trimming your tree without professional help can be very dangerous to the welfare of your tree, which is why it is best to contact a reputable tree company as soon as winter starts.
In conclusion, you can only do so much to protect your tree from getting damaged. Some winter damages cannot be avoided, but you can do something to minimize its effect. There are preventive measures that you can take to give your tree a fighting chance against the cold weather. If you need more help regarding the health of your tree, it is best to contact a professional tree service company to give you an extensive diagnosis if the overall health of your tree.

One game. Literally, that's it. That's all that's out this week. A games release window as harsh and barren as the Polar vortex has sent many scurrying back to games tucked away in their backlogs - but let's not let that stop another edition of Tuesday Game Room!
What have you been playing this week?
I've been merrily chugging along with Assassin's Creed IV, but I feel like I'm nearing the end, so I've been stalling by having fun sinking ships and whatnot. It's really fun and easy to get distracted from the main story in ACIV with all the piratey stuff - it's something Assassin's Creed has been missing recently, in the desire to expand the series' scope further and further.
After last weekend's dip into The Elder Scrolls Online, the feeling it left me, unfortunately, was to go and play a much better MMO. So I did! I rolled yet another Hunter (so sue me, I like the pew pew pewz) in World of Warcraft, this time a Pandaren allied with the Horde. I've got 3 level 90 characters this expansion, but they're all Alliance, so it's nice to see some of the Horde story I've been missing out on. Plus - something to do waiting for Driveclub and Infamous: Second Son to come out!
New Releases!
Olli Olli is the sole release for this week, a retro-styled sidescrolling (stop me if you've heard this before) skateboarding game for the PS Vita. Don't worry though, more video games are coming soon! Maybe!
And now, the News
Once again it's time for a few select picks from the last week of Gaming news, via Eurogamer:
- The Wolf Among Us Episode 2 finally gets a tentative release date - 3 months! I'm glad I held off on Telltale's apparently excellent adaptation of the Fables comic books, because it is absurd to expect people to wait 3 months in between releases for an episodic title. Whilst Kevin Bruner's statement reiterates that this is an abnormality that won't happen again, The Walking Dead's first season already had lengthy gaps between releases, and we've heard nothing at all about Episode 2 of TWD Season 2 yet, a month after the first. It doesn't exactly instil the highest of faiths. They better not do this to Game of Thrones later this year!
- Microsoft might be breaking the law to get Youtubers to promote the Xbox One - God dammit, Microsoft. God damn. I think the thing that disgusts me the most about this - cash incentives to Youtubers within the Machinima Network to make videos expressly promoting the Xbox One without informing viewers they are being paid to do so - is that the Xbox One doesn't need this level of underhanded nonsense. Is it a perfect console? Far from it. But it's by no means a bad one, and yet Microsoft seem to pull bad move after bad move when it comes to selling the damned thing to people.
- Disney abandons the Star Wars: 1313 Trademark - NOOOOOOOOOOOO. The abandoning of the trademark by Disney and Lucasarts means that any hope of the promising looking Star Wars next-gen game coming to light have pretty much altogether vanished. What a terrible shame.
- Nintendo issues dire financial forecasts, cuts Wii U sales predictions by over 60% - Wow. The Wii U has not been the biggest success for Nintendo, but with estimations for Wii U sales slashed from 9 million units to a paltry 2.8 million for the rest of this financial year (bear in mind that combined, in just under 3 months on the market, the PS4 and Xbox One have sold at least 7 and a half million units through to consumers), it's pretty much confirmation that Nintendo's console is in free-fall. Hopefully the exquisite 3DS can shore up the company whilst they seek a way to turn this all around.
We'll be back this time next Tuesday for more gaming discussion, but for now, sound off in the comments with the games you've been playing, and what you're looking forward to this week - and don't forget to join us on Steam!

Five New Grants Support Drug Discovery and Prevention
The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) has awarded five new grants to leading researchers in the U.S. and Middle East. The scientists, based at academic institutions and governmental agencies, are pursuing drug programs, prevention studies, and research to accelerate clinical trials.
Dr. Howard Fillit, Chief Science Officer and Founding Executive Director of the ADDF, says: "These grants demonstrate the range and impact of our work. We are investing in a promising phase 2 clinical trial of a repurposed drug that, if successful, could get to patients in just a few years. Another award will advance all clinical trials through the creation of a large registry of volunteers. And we are supporting a novel preclinical drug program based on a very recent discovery about the underlying causes of Alzheimer's. The final two grants are the first funded through a brand-new prevention initiative. Their findings may help doctors reduce people's risk for developing Alzheimer's and other dementias."
Ihab Hajjar, MD, MS, Emory University
Effect of Candesartan on Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease and Its Related Biomarkers
Changes in blood vessels contribute to Alzheimer's disease onset and progression. Dr. Hajjar and his team have shown in preclinical studies that candesartan, a blood pressure medication, has a positive effect on Alzheimer-related changes in the brain. In an upcoming Phase 2 clinical trial, the team will test if candesartan can decrease brain changes as well as cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's in human patients.
Paul Thompson, PhD, University of Massachusetts Medical School & Padlock Therapeutics
Inhibiting Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) Formation as a Novel Therapeutic Approach to Alzheimer's
Chronic inflammation is one of the major hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a major recent discovery, one type of chronic systemic inflammation—neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation—was shown to occur in Alzheimer's patients. In NET formation, blood cells called neurotrophils migrate into the brain blood vessels and explode, releasing their own DNA and triggering collateral tissue damage. The investigators have developed candidate drugs called PAD inhibitors that block NET formation and plan to conduct preclinical testing.
The following grants are the first funded through the Cohorts for Alzheimer's Prevention Action (CAPA) Consortium, which was created by the ADDF to improve access to existing high-quality data and evaluate potential strategies to prevent dementia.
Lenore Launer, PhD, National Institute on Aging
Targeting Older Adults for Blood Pressure Interventions
Can a patient's risk of dementia be reduced by treating their hypertension with one drug instead of another? There are five major classes of anti-hypertensive medications, and some appear to protect the brain in ways that go beyond blood pressure. A number of these drugs are being tested in clinical trials as repurposed drugs to treat dementia (including the candesartan trial at Emory mentioned above), but they may be even more protective if taken earlier in life. This study will combine data from eight different high-quality cohorts to effectively evaluate whether patients treated with one anti-hypertensive treatment strategy instead of another have different rates of cognitive impairment and dementia.
Galit Weinstein, PhD, University of Haifa
Diabetes and Dementia: Identifying the Optimal Glycemic Control Patterns and Treatment Options to Prevent Alzheimer's
People with type 2 diabetes are more prone to developing cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Treatments for diabetes reduce many complications, but it remains unclear whether they can also reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. In this study, the investigator will examine data from six previous large studies to determine whether impaired glucose metabolism helps predict an individual's risk for Alzheimer's and which classes of diabetes drugs might prevent it. Based on the findings, clinicians will be able to better assess their patients' risk for Alzheimer's and consider diabetes treatment options based on their potential to prevent Alzheimer's.
Michael Weiner, MD, University of California, San Francisco
Brain Health Registry Trial-Ready Cohort
Identifying and screening subjects for Alzheimer's clinical trials is time-consuming and expensive, and slows the progress of potentially life-saving research. The Brain Health Registry is designed to address these challenges by recruiting a large number of potential patients and collecting data (from questionnaires and the cognition exams) at regular intervals, resulting in trial-ready cohorts. If successful, the Registry will lead to significant reductions in the time and cost associated with clinical trials, including the very early stage trials necessary to accelerate the development of potential Alzheimer's therapies. This grant supports the development of an investigators' portal.

Peridot green vintage glass 10x8mm octagons
The sheer, light peridot glass beads in this listing are vintage glass (rhinestone) jewels. They're pre-1960 though I can't pin down the date exactly - the packaging they came in showed a telephone number before they had area codes. It was a while ago :-)
These pretty rhinestones are octagon shaped gems that measure approx. 10mm x 8mm (apx. 3/8" x 1/4"). They're great for earring dangles or even tiny pendants - and in the two-ring settings are glass connectors for any jewelry design.
They are also available in no-ring settings - those settings have closed backs, so it's easy to make stud earrings.
You have your choice of one-ring, two-ring, and no-ring settings - in silver plated over brass, patina brass, or golden (raw) brass. Use the drop down menu below to choose the style you like best.
The settings are silver plated over brass, patina brass or golden raw brass - and you have your choice of one-ring or two-ring styles.
If you need a large quantity just let me know - you can buy several pairs with this listing though (or just one pair, whatever works for you!)
And if you are looking for other colors you don't see here, just drop me a note, I might have some!

When my phone rang a few hours after I'd had bilateral eye surgery, I thought it was a friend or family member calling to check up on me. Instead, I was greeted by the voice of the ophthalmologist who had performed my procedure that morning.
In a conversation that lasted less than two minutes, my surgeon was able to personally assess my post-operative condition, answer the question I'd forgotten to ask before discharge and provide me with the comforting assurance that all was going according to plan. I felt very well cared for.
Of course, not every doctor has the time, the proclivity or the need to make follow-up calls on a regular basis. That's where patient rapport managers come in.
What are patient rapport managers?
Patient rapport managers are members of your team with healthcare experience who provide extra attention to patients on your behalf. Serving as a liaison between you and your patients and/or their caregivers, this person delivers the ad hoc follow-up you simply don't have the bandwidth to offer. As a go-between for people on both sides of the examination table, patient rapport managers bridge any gaps between patients and practitioners.
What do patient rapport managers do?
There are countless services patient rapport managers can offer including touching base with patients after an invasive procedure, a sudden illness, a trauma or an emotional event, such as the death of a family member. They can also review standard protocols, such as wound care or concussion management; assess compliance and the basic effectiveness of prescriptions or treatments; notify patients about scheduling changes or delays; and suggest appropriate after-hour referrals for agencies, such as home care or social services.
Most importantly, patient rapport managers can be on the lookout for any medical red flags that warrant your attention but might otherwise be missed. They can then notify you so you can be proactive in providing the necessary care.
How much do patient rapport managers work?
The number of hours patient rapport managers work depends entirely on the responsibilities you assign. This position is ideal for healthcare professionals who would like to work part time from home because follow-up calls or texts can be made from anywhere and often occur during the evening.
Or, you could have in-house patient rapport managers who make follow-up calls from your clinic as part of their daily routine. That's what happened when I had a dermatologic procedure not long ago. As part of the dermatologist's standard protocol, the nurse who assisted during the excision phoned the next morning to see how I was doing. I was familiar with her, and I welcomed her thoughtful call. It was a lovely touch.

Eh, it's just dirt. Lil water, a lil saddle soap, a couple rubs with conditioner, and some doc marten's beeswax-based protection rubbed in, easy peasy.
I will say, Amazon had a SCHMOKIN deal a couple amazon days back, Kiwi horsehair daubers were like....75 cents, free prime shipping? I cleaned UP on those lol. Think I bought 20 of em. Wife rolled her eyes, but I tell you hwut, they come in miiiiighty handy when it's time to scrub up some nasty boots.....and they're soft enough to not really damage anything.
my local dollar store has some fingernail brushes that have really really weak bristles, like toothbrush ones nearly, and i got a few of those for day-of shoe cleanup. it's been very helpful, especially for mud and salt mitigation.

Welcome to a new challenge over at Your Scrapbook Place challenge blog. Our sponsor is Limited Runs, and I colored up this digital image called Birdhouses 5. After fussy-cutting my bird houses, I framed it with a paper doily. I did the same for my sentiment, using bits of leftover doily. Since the patterned paper I used is a tad busy, I embellished simply with a jeweled flourish, as well as a leftover felt-and-jeweled flower. Just a simple card with a simple wish--for Spring!
What will you create this month? Whatever you make, link it up at Your Scrapbook Place for your chance to win awesome prizes from Limited Runs.

a blue/purple gem variety of the gemstone Zoisite. It is
characterized by a stunning colour which is not unlike top grade
Blue Sapphire at the better end. The hue can range from a
light violet blue to a strong and intense bluish purple or
purplish blue. Tanzanite is not
particularly hard, having a hardness value of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
For that reason, it should always be worn carefully and never
placed in an ultrasonic bath for cleaning or brought into
contact with acids and heat etc.
Most raw crystals are actually a yellowish/brownish colour though this can be be made to disappear by the cutter if he heats the stone carefully in an oven under controlled conditions. This heat treatment is a method of enhancement which is regarded as customary in the trade and the treatment is permanent. However the raw stones must be as free of inclusions as possible, since otherwise damage is likely to occur. In fact working with tanzanite can sometimes give even the most experienced cutter a bit of a headache, the cleavage of this gemstone being very pronounced in one direction. This exclusive gemstone is cut in every imaginable shape from the classical round shape to a number of imaginative designer cuts.
Tanzanite is a relatively new gem discovery having been found in 1967 in an area of Tanzania called the Meralani Hills some 60 miles from Arusha. The story is told that some local tribes people upon waking up in the morning noticed some beautiful blue pebbles in the ashes from their fire from the previous evening. It is really only found in this one area and how long the deposit will be workable is unknown. It is very much in the jewellery spotlight at moment and there is a worldwide demand for good material.
Cleaning Tips:
Tanzanite is said to be a calming stone. It is good if life becomes chaotic or extremely busy and one is starting to feel out of balance. It will bring you back into balance.
