From a small family business to a global and reputable tea company
More than two decades since our establishment, we remain true to our core values and standarts
Adanim story is a unique but simple one. Over 2 decades ago, Professor Alon of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel began conducting a series of experiments with organically grown herbs. He believed that cultivating specific herbs that are native to the country's soil and climate would lead to the production of exquisite herbal tea flavors.
From Modest Beginning to a Global Success
Professor Alon's hypothesis succeeded and his unique herbal tea products flourished. Family and friends were delighted to taste such delicate flavors and Adanim began to grow and prosper. Over the years, this small family business has turned into an established and reputable tea company, while remaining true to its origins.Adanim still believes that chemicals and pesticides are harmful to the environment and the community, and therefore avoid using them whenever possible. That is why most Adanim teas are organic and those that are not comply with strict international standards. The Adanim herbal teas and fruit infusions are truly world class.
Adanim Tea is committed to conduct its entire business activity while taking into account important social and environmental factors:
Looking After Tomorrow's Environment – applying organic and environmentally friendly growing and production methods.
Fair Trade – Entire world material imported from tea producing countries are purchased from fair trade certified suppliers.
Social Involvement – Raise significant contribution to the surrounding community in various means.

Kellie Corbett chose the University of South Carolina for her undergraduate degree for two reasons: the pageantry of big-time college football and the fact she hates snow. She got the pageantry but it came with snow – a freak storm, 8" of the stuff, her freshman year.
There's a lesson there but we're not exactly sure what it is — yet.

Jackie Bedard

(919) 443-3035	201 Commonwealth Ct #100
University of Richmond School of Law
Jackie Bedard's estate and long term care planning practice is focused on guiding clients through the complicated, often confusing, maze of balancing family protection, long-term care planning, wealth preservation, and cherished family values in the planning process.
Jackie determined early on that traditional estate planning has primarily focused on what happens upon death, but a far more pressing concern for many families today is—what happens if you don't die suddenly, but instead need long term care for several months or years? A comprehensive estate and long term care plan should address both of these concerns.

Out of all the work I carry out, my favourite has to be carrying out habitat enhancement in and on rivers and river banks. Fortunately, I was contracted recently by Chiltern Rangers to carry out just that on (what could be) a lovely little chalk stream on the edge of the Chilterns in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
I knew the site well, having previously been there in an advisory capacity when Chiltern Rangers were planning some enhancements to be made to the wildlife pond which is also on the site. The stream in question is actually man made and eventually joins the River Wye (the chalkstream), but unfortunately during the construction of the artificial channel, the chalk substrate was more or less completely removed, leaving a silt / clay substrate, and the channel was widened in order to cultivate Watercress in previous decades. Immediately downstream of the site is a small brick culvert which restricts the flow, meaning that the water velocity is sluggish and a large amount of deposition has occurred. This deposition has completely covered what chalk and gravel there was left in the stream, and has completely destroyed any potential for trout to spawn in the stream – so we decided to put some back in and also relocate some of the silt into the margins to narrow the channel and create some shallow marginal reedbed habitat.
This isn't the easiest site to work at, access for the machine is only possible on the right hand bank (looking downstream), which is approximately 12ft above the water level. This meant that I was somewhat restricted with where I was able to access the channel with the 13t 360 tracked excavator. It also meant that creating marginal berms with the silt was a lot harder than anticipated as I was effectively working blind from the excavator cab due to the height of the bank! Fortunately, I had an ex-Sparsholt College work placement chap with me for the project, who was very helpful in pointing out the bits I had missed!
Moving bulk materials around on site.
removing one or two trees and undergrowth to allow some more natural light into the stream and encourage marginal weed growth.
I spent most of the first morning with a wide grading bucket on the 13t excavator, squeezing it in between some of the trees, clearing undergrowth and attempting to reach as much of the channel as possible – which isn't as easy as it sounds! With the banks being predominantly clay, they were very slippery and sloped towards the channel, meaning that I also had to make sure there wasn't a chance of the excavator sliding into the channel.
A few hours on the chainsaw in the rain was enough to clear fell most of the smaller trees which had grown up through the bramble and open up access to the channel. My ever-helpful work placement chap donned his chesties and was providing my eyes in the channel when my view from the excavator was blocked by undergrowth or the high, steep banks – ensuring I didn't start 'dredging' rather than just removing the silt. Unfortunately, within the silt (and unfortunately typical of an urban watercourse) were all manner of nasties – broken glass, metalwork, tin cans and used hypodermic needles / syringes! The silt was also a great deal deeper than we realised when myself and John of Chiltern Rangers had carried out some preliminary tests a few months before.
Installing woody debris items, new marginal habitat and new gravel for spawning in the River Wye in High Wycombe for Chiltern Rangers.
For this reason, I decided it wasn't possible to deposit most of the silt on the bank as planned, and opted instead to merely scrape it into the edge of the channel to create the margins. This also meant that run-off back into the stream would be reduced from the removed spoil due to the torrential rain!
The next job was to introduce the new gravel to the channel. As the aggregate company had been kind enough to bag each size separately, it was fairly easy to install a layer of the 70mm – 100mm stone around the woody debris, and then dress it with the smaller (40mm – 70mm) gravel on top. This required some nifty footwork and balance on the behalf of my work placement chap, as essentially, I have to lift each cubic metre bag on a lifting strap with the excavator and suspend it above the water whilst he uses a long handled slasher / billhook to cut through the bottom of the bag. He then has to move safely out of the way before I can move the dipper and arm around to spread the stone equally! Fortunately, this was old hat to him and within three hours, we had all the bags of the larger stone introduced in the three locations specified on the plans.
It didn't take much longer to install the smaller gravel on top, and three new riffles were created in areas where the channel was slightly narrower and had increased velocity anyway in conjunction with some woody debris features.
Due to the weather (it rained solidly the entire weekend) and the fact that the site is predominantly clay on top of chalk, it turned into a bog! The only access to the area had also been nicely churned up by the telehandler delivering the gravel – as I found out when leaving the site as I had to bodily drag my Land Rover out backwards with the excavator to prevent it sliding into the pond, before tracking back in and repairing the damage as I tracked the excavator out!
Chiltern Rangers are hoping to revisit the site in kinder weather, and continue with their good work in improving it as an educational facility (it already has a nature-like dipping platform on both the pond and the stream), as well as improving the habitat within the stream channel and the site. My apologies for the lousy quality of the photos in this blog – the weather and damp was playing havoc with the camera!

Emirates Launches Miami…
Emirates Launches Miami Flights
Emirates announced today it will launch a four times weekly service between Florida's second-largest city, Miami, and Dubai, from 22 July, 2021, expanding its US network to 12 destinations. The new service will provide Emirates' global travellers with another access point into Florida after Orlando (effective July), serving the Southern Florida area while offering convenient connections for travellers headed towards the Middle East, West Asia, and Indian Ocean via Dubai.
With the addition of Miami, Emirates will now serve the US with over 70 weekly flights, offering over 26,000 seats across 12 gateways including Boston, Chicago, New York (JFK and Newark), Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC and Orlando.
A cultural mecca, famous for its proprietary take on nightlife, art, music, architecture and cuisine, the City of Miami is one of America's most exciting destinations. As travel demand and consumer confidence continues to grow with all the multi-faceted health measures in place, the new route will cater to Emirates' leisure and business travellers, boosting tourism and trade opportunities both inbound and outbound.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Emirates Chairman and Chief Executive said: "Launching a non-stop service to Miami at this time signals our confidence in travel recovery as countries progress on their vaccination programmes and implement protocols for the safe resumption of flight and travel activity, particularly in the US and the UAE. It also underscores our strong commitment to the US market which Emirates now serves with over 70 weekly flights across 12 gateways.
"There is a clear demand for this service from both leisure and business travellers and we anticipate that our new route will be warmly received across our global network, as well as by travellers in Southern Florida, South America and the Caribbean who can conveniently access Dubai and our wider network via Miami's many air service connections. We look forward to facilitating even more tourism and commerce opportunities to and from Florida with this new route, and to providing our customers with the award-winning Emirates experience."
The new service will also add to the existing trade connections provided by Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, which has been operating scheduled cargo flights to Miami since October 2020. The cargo carrier has been offering cargo capacity into and out of Miami facilitating exports of perishables, electronics and other components as well as e-commerce goods. Emirates SkyCargo has also in the past operated several charter flights on its Boeing 777 full freighter aircraft to transport champion horses from Miami to equestrian events around the world.
Flights to/from Miami will operate four times weekly on Emirates' three-class Boeing 777-300ER, offering eight private suites in First Class, 42 lie flat seats in Business Class and 304 spacious seats in Economy Class. Emirates flight EK213 will depart Dubai (DXB) at 03:10hrs, arriving in Miami (MIA) at 11:00hrs while the return flight EK214 will depart Miami at 21:10 hrs, arriving in Dubai at 19:35 hrs the next day.

Q: @Viewbag not displaying anything I'm making a simple quiz in ASP.NET MVC4. This is my first application so I'm really new to this.
The problem is, when I display @Viewbag.ans1 (or ans2 etc.), nothing displays. I've done a lot of searching, but I think I may have more than one problem.
Per asawyer's question, the reason I didn't use the Model was that I figured I didn't need a database to keep track of the user's answers and that Viewbag would suffice for that (not sure if I figured right though). I am using it for something else though (the quiz answers).
Here is my Results View. The @Viewbag.ans1 displays nothing on output.:

Though the Arcada Theatre has been criticized for its outdated air conditioning system and moldy-smelling bathrooms, Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg recently renewed their wedding vows at the historic St. Charles venue.
"Rachael Ray" airs at 10 a.m. weekdays on WGN-Ch. 9.


As a distributor, it's imperative for you to understand the customer's culture. When I was a branch manager for WESCO, I wanted to earn the business of a local Caterpillar plant. Our normal on-time delivery performance was competitive but unacceptable to Caterpillar because it required on-time delivery 100 percent of the time. As our local branch built multi-level relationships at Caterpillar, we learned more about its culture. Caterpillar expected the same level of service from its suppliers as it delivered; nothing more, nothing less.
Prior to introducing new executives from our company to Caterpillar, we would discuss the Caterpillar philosophy. If we had not understood Caterpillar's culture, we would have promoted our standard performance, but this would have been unacceptable — our effort to move up the organization would have been blocked.
Understanding your customer's culture is particularly important in the e-business world.
Some electrical distributors don't trust the basic premise of e-business because of the late 1990's dot-com flame-outs. Those distributors are betting all their customers want to continue doing business in traditional "brick-and-mortar" fashion, with the vast majority of products flowing from electrical manufacturers through their warehouses in local markets to end users.
But in the years to come, some larger customers (possibly huge industrials that want to buy enormous quantities of commodity items from one central source) may opt for the efficiencies of a proven collaborative e-business model. This can be dicey for electrical distributors because this model may or may not include distributors — the customer may opt to establish a direct relationship with manufacturers.
If you think this scenario could take place with any of your customers, read on.
Your customer's upper management team will define their e-vision. That's why you must align your e-vision with the customer's. It takes a long time to get to these decision makers, and you cannot skip levels of management to shorten the process. To align your e-vision, you need answers to several questions prior to establishing an e-partnership: What is their e-vision? What do they expect from their suppliers? What is your customer's definition of partnership?
Relationships must be established and refined up to, and through, the "C-level" (CEO, CIO, CFO) of the customer's organization, if possible, because these senior managers will drive their company's collaborative e-business initiative. Companies without existing high-level relationships must take a long-term approach to develop them. Failure to carefully nurture these relationships will put your company's business at risk.
These day-to-day directors must advance and orchestrate a constantly evolving plan to penetrate the customer's organization, always at a level equal to, and hopefully above, the competitors. Working together and independently, the branch manager and salesperson will continue to introduce new members of their executive team and their supplier's team to the customer, constantly pushing the ceiling upward.
As we learned in last month's article, knowledge management is vital. One of the day-to-day directors should always be present when new levels of management at the customer are penetrated because their customer knowledge will keep the discussions focused and in line with customer expectations. This scenario should continue until the upper levels of the customer's organization are accessible.
The branch manager and account salesperson must define the customer's needs, culture and vision. The needs analysis will provide the blueprint for an action plan that consistently targets the customer's needs and expectations. Concurrently, the customer's culture and vision must be analyzed and articulated throughout the distributor's organization and to loyal suppliers. Multiple business and social contacts are required at all levels of the customer's organization — from the truck driver to upper management — to gain the customer's total confidence.
Every contact should be documented to help define the customer's culture and vision. This documentation will help the distributor organization retain as much of the customer knowledge as possible if an employee who had a key relationship with that customer leaves the company.
Most customer relationships are limited to two levels in each department. Typically, the salesperson and manager know a few key contacts, plus managers of engineering, purchasing and maintenance. The collaborative e-business plan requires the salesperson to expand relationships in both directions to include equivalent corporate-level positions and lower-level employees in other departments, such as the receiving department and the warehouse. On the other hand, the manager needs to broaden relationships and concentrate on middle-level and upper-level managers at the various divisions and headquarters.
The day-to-day directors must earn the right to visit with targeted managers at the customer. This process can take a long time in a large bureaucratic organization. When the distributor team senses customer resistance to penetration of the organization, new levels of distributor and supplier management need to be introduced to the customer before continuing to move up.
The sales associate must establish ties with the customer's engineering department to gain access to that company's standards to note approved suppliers. Then the salesperson must methodically gain approval for other suppliers' products not included on the list.
The account salesperson and branch manager will determine which products to submit for approval and which suppliers to introduce to the customer. Product-specifying engineers, including those at corporate, need to sign off for approval. To expedite the approval process, plan plant-wide meetings and training seminars that bring engineers from different plants together. The sales associate completes the approval process by getting their suppliers' names added to the approved list, always keeping the purchasing departments informed so they won't be alienated.
This process is time-consuming for the sales associate. Management should compensate the sales rep based on effort. Although the sales potential is large, success is not immediate or guaranteed. If sales reps are not compensated based on effort, they will focus on other accounts that will generate immediate income.
As relationships are expanded, the sales associate must keep the manager informed and involved, and introduce members of the support team that also have customer contact — including inside salespeople, warehouse workers and truck drivers. For example, truck drivers can be goodwill ambassadors and a conduit for feedback. Finally, the salesperson must have the authority to make customer-service decisions and prevent problems from escalating.
The same power must be given to inside salespeople. They must be able to make decisions when disputes arise. In most cases, the decisions they make will cost less than the problems that can result from lack of responsiveness. This respect by the distributor for their customer's time — no matter what their position in the company — will create goodwill. Problem solving at the lowest level possible, without management involvement, is a key element for success.
Customers considering a collaborative e-business model will develop and execute plans from headquarters. They will select partners based on corporate knowledge, often with little or no plant input. That's why it's the branch manager's responsibility to identify the key decision makers at the customer's headquarters and develop a strategic plan to penetrate the corporate office. This will include working with the distributor's management team, supplier management teams and the sales associate. Distributors will be vulnerable if they do not have existing corporate relationships or fail to develop them.
Customers wanting to establish national-account relationships will select a distributor that can deliver consistent service to all locations. National-account customers don't want to work with multiple organizations. They want one point of contact to gain the efficiencies of an e-commerce model. Small and regional distributors that cannot provide such continuity will be left out of consideration. This is why some distributors have directed national-account efforts through the industry's buying/marketing groups and other distributor groups with a national-account focus, like the Vanguard National Alliance and Vantage Group.
The same process outlined previously must be duplicated with national accounts across all divisions and headquarters. This requires a national-account manager to develop upper-level customer relationships and identify and fill all customer-wide relationship gaps top-to-bottom.
National-account managers will work with the lead branch to assure that a parallel effort is made at each customer location. The national-accounts manager will be responsible for making sure the other branches evaluate the standards list and compare their offering to the lead sales associate's selection. Then, as much as possible, each branch will promote and gain approval of common lines at each location to maintain continuity. The national-accounts manager must also develop a method to evaluate pricing to the customer across the distributor organization.
If all customer locations are not involved and committed, the distributor will have problems when responding to a request for quote because the company will have holes in its bid and cannot bid a complete package. The distributor won't be able to deliver a complete quotation consistent with existing pricing. Also, pricing from suppliers will be higher than expected because the quoted package will be smaller than anticipated. The results will be compromised because the distributor effort wasn't coordinated.
Efforts that only target the customer's headquarters group or select plants have not been very successful in the past. The headquarters group cannot force remote facilities to honor these agreements and projected sales results will fall short. An e-business model can overcome this problem by forcing electronic purchase orders to go to the selected suppliers. However, unless all facilities buy into the new model, all blame for failure will be directed at headquarters. The supplier selection process, therefore, must have support throughout the customer's organization, and the distributor must present a coordinated effort.
Relationship building in the collaborative e-business model and in traditional sales situations requires a true team effort with all members working together to achieve a common goal. The distributor and its suppliers need to have numerous and ongoing contacts with their customer, from low levels all the way to the top to gain the customer's total confidence and to lay the foundation for a successful collaborative e-business partnership.
As you take steps to get to know your customer at all levels, you will be constantly demonstrating to them that your company has similar values, understands their needs and can and will meet their service requirements. With that foundation in place, they will want to work with you to build a common collaborative e-business vision and form a long-term business relationship.
After developing a strong relationship, a joint strategic plan can be formulated. A technical solution for implementing the partnership should be addressed last because even the best technology in a weak culture will fail. Once the strong foundation is in place, partners will work together to achieve their common goal and implement their new collaborative e-business model.

What a week! Stocks near records as Trump fears fade
by Paul R. La Monica @lamonicabuzz May 26, 2017: 12:00 PM ET
Trump signs $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia
Stocks were not doing much on Friday. Not much was happening on Wall Street. I guess that traders, like most Americans, are too busy getting ready for a long Memorial Day weekend of barbecues, baseball and beer to worry about the market.
But what a week it has been! The S&P 500 and Nasdaq each hit new all-time highs Thursday. Tech juggernauts Amazon (AMZN) and Google owner Alphabet (GOOGL) are flirting with the $1,000 level.
And the Dow is up 2.3% since its nearly 373-point drop on May 16. If the Dow can eke out another gain Friday, it will extend its winning streak to a lucky seven.
Worries about Comeygate and a crisis in the Trump presidency have been put on the back burner while the president has visited the Middle East and Europe this week.
CNNMoney's Fear & Greed Index is even back in Greed mode after hitting Fear levels as recently as last week.
The index looks at seven measures of market sentiment. One of them is the VIX, a measure of volatility. It spiked a whopping 46% on the day of the Dow's big plunge. But the VIX (VIX) has fallen 33% since then and is now back near where it was on May 15.
Can the rally continue? Bulls argue that there's no compelling reason for the market to go down.
Corporate America just posted its best quarter of earnings growth in nearly six years.
Related: Trump thump is short-lived as stocks rebound
Many on Wall Street still think that Trump, despite the Comey concerns, will continue to focus on getting a tax reform bill passed and helping to broker more deals between U.S. allies and big American blue chip companies as well.
Just look at the announcements that Saudi Arabia made during his visit about plans to do more business with U.S. defense and oil companies.
But there are some concerns that the market rally has gone too far too fast -- and that investors may be wrong to cavalierly dismiss the political circus in Washington.
Rick Schmidt, a global fund manager with Harding Loevner, says that he's been cutting back on U.S. stocks because of how pricey they are. The S&P 500 is now trading at around 18.5 times earnings estimates for this year, above its historical norm.
"My biggest concern right now? Valuations, especially in the U.S.," Schmidt said. "You never know a bubble has burst until it already has passed."
To be sure, the bubble talk may be premature. The U.S. economy is still in healthy shape, with the government revising its estimate for first quarter growth on Friday. Europe seems to be on the mend as well.
Interest rates around the world remain low -- even though the Federal Reserve has signaled that several more rate hikes are on the way. Those increases are likely to be small though.
Kelly Bogdanov, an analyst with RBC Wealth Management, said in a report this week that investors should continue to look beyond the DC drama on the Beltway.
Related: Ben Bernanke says instability in White House is 'a reasonable concern'
Bogdanov pointed out that the "political intrigue and instability" would be more of a problem if the economy was in trouble and earnings are falling.
"Bull markets typically come to a screeching halt when the economy stumbles badly and falls into a recession or when the Federal Reserve slams on the brakes and raises interest rates too far, too fast," she wrote.
But she conceded that these are unusual times in the nation's capital. At the very least, investors should prepare for more big swings in stocks in both directions.
"Circumstances that lead to a pullback are often unique and unpredictable, and Washington has dished out a lot of that lately," she wrote.
"While we think it's too soon to project what impact the Trump-related investigations could ultimately have on the market, the process could cause additional spikes in volatility," Bogdanov added.

THURSDAY, Jan. 22, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- A therapy involving "video feedback" -- where parents watch videos of their interactions with their baby -- might help prevent infants at risk for autism from developing the disorder, a new study suggests.
The research involved 54 families of babies who were at increased risk for autism because they had an older sibling with the condition.
Some of the families were assigned to a therapy program in which a therapist used video feedback to help parents understand and respond to their infant's individual communication style.
The goal of the therapy -- delivered over five months while the infants were ages 7 to 10 months -- was to improve the infant's attention, communication, early language development, and social engagement.
Other families were assigned to a control group that received no therapy.
After five months, infants in the families in the video therapy group showed improvements in attention, engagement and social behavior, according to the study published Jan. 22 in The Lancet Psychiatry.
Using the therapy during the baby's first year of life may "modify the emergence of autism-related behaviors and symptoms," lead author Jonathan Green, a professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Manchester in England, said in a journal news release.
"Children with autism typically receive treatment beginning at 3 to 4 years old," he explained. "But our findings suggest that targeting the earliest risk markers of autism -- such as lack of attention or reduced social interest or engagement -- during the first year of life may lessen the development of these symptoms later on."
Two experts agreed that early intervention is key.
"Research has shown that subtle markers of autism are identifiable in the first year of life," explained Dr. Ron Marino, associate chair of pediatrics at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y. "Video feedback seems like a natural and potentially very potent extension of intervention when it can be most effective," he added.
Dr. Andrew Adesman is chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York, in New Hyde Park, N.Y. He was cautiously optimistic about the promise of the video feedback approach.
"Although it would be wonderful if a relatively simple, video-based intervention could reduce the recurrence risk of autism spectrum disorder in later offspring, further studies are needed to examine this very issue," he said. Those studies "will need to include a larger, more diverse sample population and need to look at developmental outcomes over a much longer period of time."

Pope Benedict XVI appoints Romanian cardinal Lucian Muresan
February 19, 2012 121
Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday appointed 22 new cardinals at Vatican, including Most Reverend Lucian Muresan, Major Archbishop of the Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek Catholic. Archbishop Muresan thus becomes the third Romanian cardinal, after Iuliu Hossu and Alexandru Todea.His wish to become a Greek Catholic priest could not be fulfilled in normal conditions, because the Romanian United Church was banned in 1948. Muresan entered the Roman-Catholic Theological Institute, but he was expelled by the communist authorities of that time. He defied the threat and surveillance of the former Securitate (communist political police) and continued taking clandestine courses, with professors from the former theological academies, which were still free. After bishops were released from prison, through the pardon decree of 1964, on December 19 of that year he was ordained priest by auxiliary bishop Ioan Dragomir of Maramures. Afterwards, he started acting as a priest clandestinely.After the Revolution, when the Romanian United Church returned to legality, on 3 March 1990, Pope John Paul II appointed him as bishop of the Maramures Bishopric, thus he became chronologically the third bishop of this eparchy, after Alexandru Rusu and Ioan Dragomir, who was only auxiliary bishop of Maramures. On 27 May 1990, he was consecrated bishop. Lucian Muresan currently is Major Archbishop of the Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek Catholic, and Archbishop of Alba Iulia and Fagaras.

Is your idea of a perfect 'Big Fat Wedding',well, NOT a Big Fat one? You are someone who would rather have a small wedding and a seriously awesome vacation. Or just someone, who doesn't like the thought of a lavish spend on the event. But you would still want your big day to shimmer and stand out, won't you!
It might seem like a challenge to pull off an intimate, budget wedding without compromising on the aesthetics. With smart planning, however, it is quite the opposite. Here are some ideas for a small (read, stunning) wedding which will make it a gorgeous affair.
Planning for a small wedding is perhaps equally (if not more) important than planning for a big one. Start at least six months in advance to ensure you get the best deals on the venue, catch any possible sale that comes your way and book all your services in time. It will also greatly help you to utilize all resources optimally.
An intimate affair would also mean that you would want to rule out unfamiliar faces at your wedding. Choose your guest list wisely and restrict it to close relatives and friends. The wedding will feel more like a closed party than anything else.
We are assuming that you don't have a large backyard or a courtyard for the festivities (you are super sorted, if that is the case). Choose a suburban off-beat venue or identify a non-metro town and take the festivities there. Places like Dehradun, Jaipur, Khajuraho could be on your prospective list.
Contrary to what many believe, you may actually end up saving a lot, with a simple destination wedding.
It might be hard to imagine the wedding festivities without the traditional DJ. But ditching one, might do you good. Hire a small band or an individual singer to play the perfect music in the backdrop. Our votes are for an acoustic one.
For the crazy dance nights, get your very own wedding mix to play on your special day (And maybe a friend who would love to double up as a DJ).
We won't be surprised if the price of designer wedding outfits has given you nightmares. Don't get disheartened if those are way out of your budget. Get creative and smart with your outfit choice. Choose your look, pick up your fabrics yourself from a wholesale fabric market and find a suitable boutique to create your ultimate outfit.
Another great idea is to ransack your mother's closet and find an old heavy embroidered saree (or for that matter, ask her if you can use her wedding saree) and re-create it into a beautiful wedding outfit for yourself.
Check out how celebrated wedding planner Devika Narain wore her mom's lehenga for her wedding.
Replace the dreamy flower decor with an alternate, equally beautiful option. Marigold and Jasmine decor at wedding is the 'in' thing and comes at half the price of orchid or rose decorations. It will also go well with your personality (we hear 'cool'). Using flowy fabrics in beautiful colours to decorate the venue is another option.
Forget Black ties. Brunch weddings are the cool new thing. Plus, they can be super cozy and intimate. Keep the ceremony in the morning, followed by a select menu brunch for the guests.
You could get creative with the catering and give it to a food truck rather than a traditional caterer. Also, you could replace the wedding cake, with a cheese or a pizza cake. Get quirky, because WHY NOT!
With wedding planning becoming a popular profession, there are a slew of new entrants – young, excited wedding planners in every town, even beyond the metros. No need to have a fancy entourage along with you for managing your wedding. Carefully chose a local event manager who is in line with your aesthetic sense, can use cheaper (and prettier) decor options and isn't afraid to experiment. You will be surprised, trust us!
So, go ahead, jazz up the cozy wedding of your dreams!

A young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. His unique approach produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt made each knife by hand, using worn-out file blades as raw material. His handiwork was greatly appreciated during World War II. Hoyt's eldest son Al had relocated from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego California after finishing a stint in the navy a decade earlier. Hoyt and his wife Daisy moved in with Al and his young family in 1945 and set up shop as H.H. Buck and Son. Following the death of his father, Al kept the fledgling custom knife business going until incorporating Buck Knives, Inc. in 1961. Al introduced his son, Chuck, to the knife business at an early age and Chuck and his wife, Lori, were both involved when the company was incorporated. In 1964, the knife industry was revolutionized with the introduction of the Model 110 Folding Hunter, making Buck Knives a leader in the field. A position we hold proudly today. Chuck worked his way up through the company serving as President and CEO for many years before handing over the reins to his son, CJ, in 1999. Chuck remained active as Chairman of the Board until his passing in 2015. Lori now serves on the Board of Directors and is actively involved with Buck promotional events throughout the U.S., continuing Chuck's legacy. CJ, the 4th generation family member to run Buck Knives and current CEO, President, and Chairman, started out with the company on the production line in 1978. He has been quoted saying, "We have been helping people thrive with reliable and trustworthy edged products for over a century. Since our own name is on the knife, our quality, focus, and attention to detail is very personal." Hoyt and Al Buck's ingenuity may have put the company on the map. But it is our ongoing commitment to developing innovative new products and improving what we have by third and fourth generation Buck family members that have made Buck the successful knife maker it is today.
Farrell, Dan
I've been a scrimshander since 2006 and started engraving and making knives in 2011. Using the stock removal method I mostly make art knives, linerlock folders, and a few slipjoints usually made from mosaic and carbon damascus for blades. The liners, spine, and bolsters are made from 410 and 416 with natural materials for handles. As far as subjects, portraits and nudes are what I'm best at and what I get the most request for. But I can also do other subject such as wildlife scene, nautical, etc. I also customize factory knives such a Case and Buck as well as take on custom projects on clients knives and other scrimshaw and engraving projects. 95% of my work is done on fossil mammoth ivory from Siberia and Alaska, also a few others on pre-ban elephant, pearl and micarta.

Book II Chapter 44: War with the Germans. Drusus as commander.[AD 17]
Soon afterwards Drusus was sent into Illyricum to be familiarised with military service, and to win the goodwill of the army. Tiberius also thought that it was better for the young prince, who was being demoralised by the luxury of the capital, to serve in a camp, while he felt himself the safer with both his sons in command of legions. However, he made a pretext of the Suevi, who were imploring help against the Cherusci. For when the Romans had departed and they were free from the fear of an invader, these tribes, according to the custom of the race, and then specially as rivals in fame, had turned their arms against each other. The strength of the two nations, the valour of their chiefs were equal. But the title of king rendered Maroboduus hated among his countrymen, while Arminius was regarded with favour as the champion of freedom.

New promoters of bioinspired inventions
30 December 2015 17 August 2019
by Fabienne Marion
The year 2015 has been marked by events to show the advantages of biomimicry for the industry. The next biodiversity law, which will be discussed in January in the Senate, should strengthen the impetus in this area. Stakes and prospects.
"It's not for nature to produce like our factories, it's for our factories to produce like nature."
Gunter Pauli, promoter of the blue economy and director of the Fondation Zéri.
« La nature does a lot of things with economy of means; why not do like her? » He who expresses himself in this way is not a gentle dreamer but a businessman. Antonio Molina Nolin, founding president of the Mäder company (1), is one of the world's leading players in technical paint, which will announce in March the launch of a so-called "bio-based" paint: the polyester base is derived from corn starch. Passionate about innovation, he believes in the good ideas that evolution has crystallized in living organisms.
President of the European Centre of Excellence in Biomimicry of Senlis (CEEBIOS) he introduced the symposium on 16 and 17 December devoted to "Biodiversity-inspired research" which was jointly organized by CEEBIOS and the Muséum nationale d'histoire naturelle (MNHN). "We have to realize that industry has everything to gain if it turns to processes close to biological metabolism, he explains. Biomimetic solutions avoid CO2 emissions, avoid the extraction of fossil fuels and save energy. A very simple example is the curing of paints (polymerization) in industry, which is traditionally carried out in ovens at 300°C. Today we know how to make paints that cure under ultraviolet light, which saves all heat loss.
Many other "smart innovations" were presented during the conference. Copying spider silk is at the heart of the projects of the companies Amsilk (Germany), Kraig Biocraft Laboratories and Araknitech (USA), Spiber (Japan). The latter produces 10 tons/year of its artificial silk yarn, which is much more resistant than Kevlar. These companies have transferred spider genes either into silkworms, bacteria or goats. When synthetic biology combines with biomimicry...
The presentations also showed the fruitful exchanges between ecologists, evolutionists, taxonomists and engineers. "We have seen that knowledge of filiations allows us to have judicious strategies to find common properties between organisms, relates Vincent Bels, professor at the MNHN and initiator of the symposium. We can thus target the analytical tests. The biologist underlines the relevance of biological solutions that integrate the diverse requirements of ecosystems but also scales. This is just the opposite of what is done in the habitat, for example, when constructing perfectly thermo-regulated buildings. The result? People rush to ...open the windows! Simply because we haven't been able to integrate several parameters like here the need for air or interaction with the open space. In contrast, the Eastgate shopping centre in Harare's Zinbabwe was designed to be ventilated and cooled in a completely natural way, inspired by termite mounds. Designed by architect Mick Pearce in 1996, it demonstrates the tremendous benefits of saving energy and providing comfort at the same time.
Portcullis House's in the Eastgate Centre, Harare - Zimbabwe
Specialists who are passionate about biomimicry have a state of mind. Interdisciplinary and receptive. They are capable of mental pirouettes and revisit notions of performance. "Because living things don't manage power and energy the way industry does."insists Antonio Molina Nolin. Change of perspective also in the materials "For medical prosthetics, it's the holes in the material that are important, not the material." observes the President of CEEBIOS. Fascinated by the matter that living organisms crystallize, Jacques Livage (from the Laboratory of Condensed Matter of the Pierre and Marie Curie University) presented his discovery of diatoms whose fine cavities are used to filter beer, wine or swimming pool water. The pioneer of soft chemistry also spotted the astonishing optical properties of the siliceous cages of these microalgae. He plans to use them as biosensors or bioreactors.
Diatoms, called bacillariophyceae or diatomophyceae, are microscopic organisms of a plant nature, living in the water, either in suspension (plankton) or on the bottom, free or attached to various supports.

While biomimicry is the subject of strong policies and investments, particularly in Germany (see the creation of the Biokon networkIn 2001, under the leadership of the Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), which brings together some thirty laboratories, institutes or research centres and universities), an impetus of this type is expected in France ..."The Aquitaine Region has announced the completion of a mapping and roadmap on Blue Growth and Biomimicry". said Kalina Raskin, CEEBIOS Development Officer.
SEE ALSO IN UP'. : Kalina Raskin's interview
At the international level, the ISO standards body has published two texts referring to biomimicry, one on biomaterials and the other on metabolic algorithms. It is clear that in France, CEEBIOS, in its training, support, demonstration and networking activities, facilitates the link between research and industrial applications. Located in Senlis, it creates an emulation between local actors present on the agro-industrial site of Pomacle Bazancourt (near Reims), those of thePivert Institute in Picardy and theFrench Institute of Agro-Sourced Materials (IFMAS) in Villeneuve d'Ascq, both labeled as ITE (Institute for Energy Transition) under the PIA (Programme d'Investissements d'Avenir).
In 2015, the movement towards these biomimetic approaches has increased. On 10 November last, the "Arcane" laboratory of excellence co-organised, with the General Commission for Sustainable Development of the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, a scientific conference dedicated to research in biomimetic chemistry in the context of sustainable development and energy transition. The Economic, Environmental and Social Council (EESC) also presented - last September - its report Drawing inspiration from nature for sustainable innovation, coordinated by Patricia Ricard. It includes the testimony of Idriss AberkaneThe same professor at Centrale-Supelec, who dares to think that we will probably find in twenty years time that our current uses of oil are very old-fashioned! "Raw materials are not infinite, but if we base our growth on knowledge, there are no limits, he suggests. And nature is our library! ».
Gilles Bœuf, former president of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle and who has been approached to head the next Biodiversity Agency, hopes that 2016 will set in motion a number of key initiatives to promote bio-inspiration. We are waiting for the framework law " for the reconquest of biodiversity, nature and landscapes" - which is constantly being pushed back - but which The bill "should be considered in the Senate in mid-January and voted on before the summer", said the Minister of Ecology on December 8.
It is this law that is to establish the Biodiversity Agency. The associations and unions (FNE, FNH, H&B, LPO, CFDT, Surfrider Foundation and Unaf) have expressed their impatience with the delays in the timetable. It is possible that industrialists will add their grievances, as some understand that betting on nature can become strategic: "30% of chemicals will be produced by biotechnological processes by 2040." indicated Marc Fontecave, holder of the Chemistry of Biological Processes Chair at the Collège de France during a lecture delivered in March 2015.
(1) Its small company in Maroeuil (Pas-de-Calais) has become in 20 years a group of 850 employees working in 16 plants in some 20 countries in Europe and Asia. The company has an annual turnover of 200 million euros, of which at least 10 % are devoted to R&D each year.

I have spent the last 2 1/2 days getting ready for a hurricane tropical storm that can't seem to decide how big and what path it is actually going to take. I have also not been writing because I have been watching, and background processing, and the only question that keeps coming up over and over again is, "What IS the agenda of the democrats and this WH?" Nobody could possibly be so stupid as to attack the American public unless they want to achieve an outcome they already know is coming. Something about all of this reeks of "timing". I still say that we do not need to do healthcare reform RIGHT THIS MINUTE!
By now almost anybody paying attention to the news today has heard about Nancy and Steny going off the deep end calling dissenters "un-American".
Please keep the definition of fascism in mind as you peruse.
a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
Americans have been waiting for nearly a century for quality, affordable health care.
Health coverage for all was on the national agenda as early as 1912, thanks to Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose presidential run. Months after World War II came to an end in 1945, President Harry Truman called on Congress to guarantee all Americans the "right to adequate medical care and protection from the economic fears of sickness." From President Lyndon Johnson to President Bill Clinton, to President Obama's winning campaign on the promise of reform, there hasn't been a more debated domestic issue than the promise of affordable health care for all.
Now, it's Nancy's turn to ratchet up the rhetoric and drive the ponies toward the cliff; but listen closely and you will see what she is afraid of, and what they are intending. This is ONLY my humble thought processes; make sure to report me to snitch.gov.
We believe it is healthy for such a historic effort to be subject to so much scrutiny and debate. The failure of past attempts is a reminder that health insurance reform is a defining moment in our nation's history — it is well worth the time it takes to get it right. We are confident that we will get this right.
Translation: We will get a public option that will lead to single payer health care which will put every single American on the road to complete socialism. Of course we are going to take the time to get it right; we are so close to flipping this country from capitalism to socialism that we will do what it takes to make it happen.
Already, three House committees have passed this critical legislation and over August, the two of us will work closely with those three committees to produce one strong piece of legislation that the House will approve in September.
We are going to get socialist medicine no matter what it takes.
In the meantime, as members of Congress spend time at home during August, they are talking with their constituents about reform. The dialogue between elected representatives and constituents is at the heart of our democracy and plays an integral role in assuring that the legislation we write reflects the genuine needs and concerns of the people we represent.
However, it is now evident that an ugly campaign is underway not merely to misrepresent the health insurance reform legislation, but to disrupt public meetings and prevent members of Congress and constituents from conducting a civil dialogue. These tactics have included hanging in effigy one Democratic member of Congress in Maryland and protesters holding a sign displaying a tombstone with the name of another congressman in Texas, where protesters also shouted "Just say no!" drowning out those who wanted to hold a substantive discussion.
These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.
Now — with Americans strongly supporting health insurance reform, with Congress reaching consensus on a plan, and with a president who ran and won on this specific promise of change — America is closer than ever to this century-deferred goal.
This fall, at long last, we must reach it.
It appears Nancy is trying to herd the dissenters into one little group off in the snowbank while she "links" Americans supporting health insurance reform with Congress reaching a consensus, which unfortunately for her is the farthest scenerio from the truth.
Over the past few months, Rasmussen Reports has conducted many surveys on the topic of health care reform. As July comes to an end and Congress prepares to take a break from Washington, the following reports highlight public attitudes on a variety of health care topics.
What is the agenda that the dems are all about right now? What? Class War? Martial Law? Learned helplessness? Demoralization? Complete destruction of the middle class?
"We've Just Been Cheneyed By A Guy Named Barack Obama"
But, I finally came to the realization of the fact that these people live inside a box… the box of Statism. Statism is the antithesis of individual liberty. For these folks, the State is their god… it is their reality and their "truth." For them, nothing exists outside the box. Everything must bow in submission to their god (the State) and to what's inside the box. But, the real truth is the Statist view is a lie.
For those of us who believe in individual liberty, the State is not our god, but a vast majority of us believe in something outside ourselves that has endowed us with that liberty. I personally believe that is the eternal God/Creator, as did the Founders of this country. Those who believe in individual liberty know there is more than what is inside the box and that the Creator/God is able to transcend all realms.
These views are diametrically opposed to each other. There can be no compromise… to do so is to renounce one's beliefs and principles. This is why we are seeing such a polarity in views in this country. When we talk to people of the Statist view about individual liberty, we might as well be speaking a foreign language… it is not in their version of the "truth"… not in their reality… not of the box.
So… what IS the agenda?
It is to force everyone inside the box where they believe there is no Creator/God and no individual liberty. Obama DeathCare is really a manifestation of the lie.
We have to continue to fight the lie and remain faithful to the truth.
It seems obvious to me that the Democrats' plan is something that will not unveil itself until it is too late should we allow it to manifest. There is something drastically wrong when people in power look down upon the people they are supposed to represent. Worse still those same members that ignore the will of the people and act anyway.
I have no regard for the Democratic party. Though I don't agree with Rush Limbaugh on nearly everything I do agree with him that I hope Obama fails. I don't want or need the vision he and the Democrats are planning. Because whatever they say, they are hiding the truth from us. And I lost ALL of my trust for their party last year.
Worse than what Obama, Pelosi, Hoyer and Reid say is what they actually do.
Funny thing. Just posted a comment and then a message came on my screen saying, "You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down". Never had that before. I'll try again.
Thank you Dug, for the quotes. James Madison really hit it on the head. These bills that are 1000 plus pages long that nobody has time to read and with language that the average person can't understand. I tried to read HNR3200 but I had trouble understanding it and I am a fairly intelligent person. I wonder if all of these congress critters are able to understand the language?
DT, thanks again, for all of your research and time that you put in so we can be informed. I really appreciate it.
I believe that their agenda is simple: Chaos.
TPTB want such utter chaos, confusion, and widespread pain and suffering that the citizens of the entire world will come clamoring to them begging to be rescued, no matter what the cost.
Only then will we truly comprehend how dear a price we can indeed pay. Only then will we truly learn the depth of the evil in man's soul.

Fall is a good time to look around your property for potential tree problems which may occur with inclement weather. Overgrown trees, trees with limbs equal to or larger in diameter than the parent trunk or limb, trees on slopes, and trees close to buildings or other high-use areas, are all examples of trees which should be taken into consideration. Several species of trees in our area such as Coral Trees or Eucalyptus are especially prone to failure during wind and/or rain events, so keeping them properly pruned in advance of winter conditions is important.
It helps to remember that even a moderate amount of rainfall can add a substantial amount of weight to the tree canopy, and overgrown trees that already have excess loads on their branch attachments can be especially susceptible to failure. Most of the failures that I see every winter are large tree branches that break away from the trunk during a rain event just after the front has passed, when high winds place additional stress on branch attachments that are already heavy with rain water.
A consultation with an arborist experienced in local tree species and conditions is your best option for determining the need for pruning prior to the onset of winter weather, and this service is provided free of charge if it results in any corrective pruning work. Trees are an important part of your investment in your home or commercial property, and helping you maintain them in a manner that reduces or eliminates potential tree hazards is one of the key functions of a good arborist.
We hope that you have a great fall season and enjoy all that it has to offer, and please give us a call or send an email if you have any questions about the trees on your property.
