Western Cape Environmental Affairs and Development Planning leads in managing Environmental Impact Assessments
Posted on January 23, 2023 Author sjadmin Comments Off on Western Cape Environmental Affairs and Development Planning leads in managing Environmental Impact Assessments
The Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEA&DP) has been recognised as the leading provincial department in administering and managing Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) projects in South Africa by the Environmental Assessment Practitioners Association of South Africa (EAPASA). DEA&DP shares this recognition with the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
In response, Anton Bredell, Western Cape Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning said: "EIA processes are critical as part of our efforts to serve present and future generations by securing ecologically sustainable development and use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development."
Bredell said that considering the state of our social and economic challenges as well as the state of our environment, this is now more important than ever. "We must ensure both efficiency and effectiveness, to within as short a time and with as little cost as possible, achieve maximum positive outcomes and impacts. "
This recognition, that the Western Cape is leading in terms of EIA administration and management in South Africa, strengthens our resolve to accelerate our EIA efforts as part of the shift from recovery to growth for the people of the Western Cape and South Africa, Bredell said.
"It also requires a team effort, and therefore the DEA&DP team is working with other authorities, environmental assessment practitioners and specialists, government and private sector developers, civil society, and communities. Thank you to the DEA&DP team for your continued service excellence and thank you to all the role players for your part in this award."
This award builds on recognition the department received in 2022 for being the department with the most qualified and certified EIA practitioners in South Africa. At the time Bredell said: "From 8 August 2022, only a Registered Environmental Assessment Practitioner may investigate, assess, and prepare EIA reports and documents. Because we support an enabling business environment, DEA&DP has ensured that all officials working with EIA approvals are registered at EAPASA. Also, I am proud to say, DEA&DP currently has the highest number of EAPASA registered officials in South Africa."
The department was also recognised in 2022 by the National Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries for having the best Environmental Law Enforcement Compliance Team in South Africa.

Promoting Land Rights to Empower Rural Women and End Poverty
Posted on October 14, 2016 Author sjadmin
For Nitsu Simachew, a widow in rural Ethiopia, life was a constant struggle to maintain control of the small plot of land she depended on to support her four sons and daughter. There were always boundary disputes and people grabbing land that didn't belong to them, said her son, Mengaw.
For many women, proof of land ownership can end years of economic uncertainty, vulnerability, and fear. In Ethiopia and across the globe, the World Bank and its partners are dedicating resources to help secure land rights for women, particularly in rural areas, where women are at the bottom of the economic ladder.
I am so happy to have this certificate, said Nitsu, displaying an official property deed issued by the Ethiopian government under a World Bank-sponsored program. Now everything is recorded and legal in my name and no one can take away my land.
Almost 70% of the world's population doesn't have access to land registration systems giving landowners clear title to their property, with women among the most disproportionately affected.
The UN's new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which guide development efforts, recognize the importance of property rights for women, especially in rural areas. The SDG has set goals so all men and women have equal rights to ownership and control over land by 2030 and a target of doubling the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, especially women.
Reaching this goal requires pro-active policies to ensure equal land rights for women, said Jorge Munoz, who manages the land group at the World Bank.
Property rights can be a complex web of national and state laws, customs, traditions, and histories that vary from country to country, even town to town.
Even when the laws offer equal protection, sometimes traditions and customs take over, especially in rural areas, noted Victoria Stanley, a senior land rights specialist at the World Bank.
In Kosovo, for example, World Bank development experts are working in a village that is populated largely by war widows, yet less than 8% have title to property. Most of the landowners should be women, but culture and traditions discourage women from ownership.
Even when there are no male relatives to claim title, the time, cost, and complexity of surveying and registering land presents huge obstacles for women, leaving them without information or legal protection for their property.
To break the impasse, the World Bank turned to technology; surveying property with small, unmanned aerial drones that involve the whole community in the mapping process and help the government produce a national land registration system. The drones offer mapping services in a matter of days or weeks, at a fraction of the cost and time of conventional surveying using manned aircraft.
The World Bank supports land registration projects in 48 countries, with over $1 billion in commitments. From Kosovo to Ethiopia to Honduras to Vietnam, the World Bank and its partners are helping women gain equal treatment in obtaining land rights in every region of the world.
One of the Bank's largest portfolios in land administration and management is in the Europe and Central Asia region, which, since the fall of communism, has witnessed one of the largest land reforms in history. An example of the Bank's work in the region can be found in an agricultural land registration project in Tajikistan, where nearly a quarter of the issued land certificates went to women, giving nearly 23,000 female farmers title to land.
Some other examples of World Bank-supported work include:
In Ethiopia, the government's large-scale land certification effort�covering 6.3 million households�improved women's economic and social status. Previously, women didn't have property rights, and divorced women could expect little more than a sack of grain as compensation from their former husbands. Now, they are entitled to 50% of the property.
In Indonesia, post-tsunami recovery efforts in Aceh included community mapping and issuing of over 222,000 land title certificates, about one-third going to women. In Vietnam, 60% of the five million land-use certificates were issued in the name of both the husband and the wife.
In the aftermath of Cyclone Phailin in 2013, the government of Odisha State in India provided land and financial support to construct concrete houses for the poor in 12 cyclone-vulnerable villages. Land allocation was carried out either jointly in the name of husband and wife, or, in the case of single women, individually.

In CAte d'Ivoire, UN chief spotlights importance of AU-EU strategic partnership
Posted on November 29, 2017 Author sjadmin
The importance of regional organizations grows with every decade that passes as they are essential to face the difficult challenges that threaten the world, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Wednesday at the African Union-European Union Summit in CAte d'Ivoire.
A strong and effective EU and a strong and effective AU are essential pillars of global cooperation for peace and security, development and human rights, Mr. Guterres told the two organizations' fifth summit held in the capital, Abidjan. We must continue to make progress on all simultaneously.
Welcoming the AU-EU strategic partnership, the Secretary-General expressed the UN's commitment to support the efforts of these organizations and described how such cooperation takes place in Africa.
Three obvious examples of the importance of trilateral cooperation between the AU, the EU and the UN, are seen in Somalia, the Central African Republic and the Sahel.
It is exactly ten years since the joint Africa-European Union strategy was adopted and the time has come to strengthen the links between the two continents, Mr. Guterres said, noting that the two regions can enhance their cooperation in tackling some challenges facing migrants.
When migration is done in an orderly and regulated way, migrants contribute positively to host countries and countries of origin. We will not put an end to the tragedies in the Mediterranean if we do not create significant opportunities for legal migration, he said.
These two conditions are essential to effectively combat traffickers and smugglers of migrants.
First is to change the relationship with Africa and establish a new platform of cooperation that recognizes the enormous potential of this continent, and second is to increase joint efforts in conflict prevention and mediation.
Mr. Guterres argued that it is time to provide the appropriate means to regional organizations, including clear and strong mandates, accompanied by an evaluation mechanism and an adequate and predictable funding system.
For instance, the AU and the UN, with EU support, can help the G5-Sahel countries � Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger � deal with transnational threats and terrorism.
We need a force with a mandate that lives up to these threats and sustainable funding, he said, urging the Security Council to be ambitious in its choice on this issue.
Turning to sustainable and inclusive development in Africa, the UN chief stressed the importance of investing in youth and women's empowerment.
EU-AU-UN task force to protect migrants along Mediterranean routes
Earlier in the day, Mr. Guterres attended a trilateral meeting with the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, and Federica Mogherini, EU High Representative and Vice President of the European Council.
They agreed to put in place a joint EU-AU-UN Task Force to save and protect lives of migrants and refugees along the Mediterranean routes and in particular inside Libya, accelerating the assisted voluntary returns to countries of origin, and the resettlement of those in need of international protection.
The Secretary-General also met with Alassane Dramane Ouattara, President of CAte d'Ivoire to exchange views on the situation in the country and the sub-region. The Secretary-General reaffirmed the UN's commitment to continued support for the country in consolidating peace and inclusive and sustainable development, following the withdrawal of UN peacekeeping force.

Detoxification (detox) used in alternative medicine.
Detoxification, also called detox, (or body cleansing in alternative medicine), is the process of removing foreign substances from the body.
It can be achieved by several techniques such as dialysis and sometimes chelating therapy in traditional (allopathic) medicine.
Toxicity is nowadays of greater concern than ever before; chemicals, pollution, radiation, refined foods, stimulants, sedatives, drugs and so on; all take their toll on the human body!
Cancer and cardiovascular disease are only two of great concern; obesity, and some skin problems are others. Further, a wide range of symptoms (headaches, fatigue, pains, gastrointestinal problems, and immune weakness) can directly be related to toxicity.
Many drugs, food additives, and allergens can also create toxic elements in the organs.
Although the body can handle many toxins naturally, the overdoses of these [toxins] overwhelm it in these modern times.
You may accumulate toxins at a rate higher than your body can process; this proofs to be sometimes devastating.
The use of botanicals (herbal detoxification) in getting rid of all the toxins* in the body can be very beneficial, if done the right way!
There are many superior cleansing herbs, without side effects, from the Amazon rainforest suitable for this purpose.
There are several Detox Programs (DP) available to cleanse the body of toxins accumulated in the organs such as the colon, liver & gallbladder, kidneys & bladder, blood- & lymphatic system and the lungs.
These programs involve dietary- and lifestyle changes to reduce the intake of toxins and improve elimination of these.
The lifestyle changes do not have to be hard, if you prepare yourself mentally for them. After all, it does not make any sense to go back to bad old habits when you have successfully flushed out the toxins and cleared excess mucus and congestion from your body!
To be successful, the body must first be detoxified in the right sequence; only after the colon and kidneys are detoxed, we can move to the liver.
After the liver is flushed, we can finally clean the blood and the lymphatic system.
Regular skin cleansing with natural soap, shampoo and a luffa can be added and is very beneficial. When flushing the body is completed there is in general no need to do this again any time soon; that is, if you stick to your lifestyle changes!
*toxins: chemicals with potentially harmful effects (any substance that can cause ill health). Most toxins that cause problems in humans are released by microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi, algae and plants. Many of them are very poisonous).
Detoxification occasionally is good for most of us and if we take well care of the body and have a healthy lifestyle, our quality of life will improve tremendously.
However, it is not needed to detoxify too often.
People with an unhealthy lifestyle and those with certain problems such as alcohol and drug problems, obesity, etc. may find relief by undergoing a DP.
Anything that supports our elimination helps to detoxify.
Drinking extra water, eating food rich in fibers (consuming more vegetables and fruit), cutting back on sugar and salt will help eliminate more toxins.
There is more of course: regular exercise, less meat and milk products will also contribute getting rid of the waste with toxins in your body.
Refined, processed and junk foods are also a "no go" and should be avoided.
Only detox will not do you any good in the long run if you stick to you old habits and does not change your lifestyle including your diet.
Drink enough water; every day 2- 2.5 liter. Use good quality spring water; avoid drinking distilled water. Drink the water at room temperature (not cold!).
Drinking lots of water will flush out the toxins easier and will improve in the long run many imbalances in the body.
Switch to a diet rich in organic fruits and vegetables with few cooked or processed food.
Organic food helps to protect you against many diseases; if you consume a diet rich in organic fruits and vegetables, it will also protect against many environmental pollutants!
Many fruits are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and E, selenium, zinc, manganese, copper and iron.
Fruit and vegetables such as papaya, watermelon, mango, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, garlic, cayenne pepper, onion, and eggplant. Of course there are many more.
Exercise regularly; combine aerobic and anaerobic exercise for a more complete work-out.
People with a clear alcohol and/or opioid dependence will need to get professional medical assistance to get rid of this first.
Alcohol detox is not a treatment for alcoholism; the same goes for opioid dependence.

WHO REALLY NEEDS A HELPING HAND?
At this time of year we all are scurrying around to buy gifts for those who we hold close and near to our hearts. Then the day after Christmas is over the store are loaded with people returning items they have decided they do not want. The reasons for returning these unwanted gifts vary from the wrong size,color, or just inappropriate for the person who received it.
For those who are really in need of a helping hand there are no returns. For they have not received anything. They do not receive because they have learned not to ask for things that are out of their realm. Finding the people who would benefit from that dreaded bright pink glittery sweater from Aunt Sue is a daunting task. It must be undertaken like a covert mission from a CIA operative. Because above everything else most people do not like admitting they are doing without.
If those of us who are in a position to be of service just listen carefully throughout the year to people around us, we will figure out who really needs a helping hand. There is no need to start a pantry for folks.This sort of setup only makes people feel worse about their circumstances. All you have to do is help one family at a time.If you find out about more than one family enlist the help of friends or family that can aid you in your worthy cause.
If all of us could just reach out to one family at a time, there would not be any children without toys or families without food for the holidays!

Parcels: What Cities do Chronopost Deliver on Sunday?
19th November 2017 19th November 2017 Jason PlantLeave a Comment on Parcels: What Cities do Chronopost Deliver on Sunday?
Good news for a month of Christmas … To avoid queuing in shops, more and more French people choose shopping online. They can now be delivered every day … even on Sunday. This Sunday the 19th November, Chronopost has delivered packages for the first time on Sunday. But all the French will not qualify for Sunday deliveries immediately.
According to LCI , some cities only benefit from this new service subsidiary of La Poste: it only works in Île-de-France and in fourteen major cities: Nice, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Rennes, Grenoble, Nantes Reims, Lille, Strasbourg, Lyon, Toulon and Aix-en-Provence. Another limit to consider is that the parcel deliveries are only made on Sunday morning between 9am and 1pm.
Before embarking on a lasting basis of the delivery on a Sunday, the Post office had engaged in an experiment at Christmas. In 2015, she had completed deliveries on Sunday 20th December in some cities.

For years, the traditional focus of law enforcement had been to respond to crimes that had already been committed. In the early 1990s, the NYPD pioneered a new approach—one which centered on data-driven performance measurements. As the focus of policing shifted towards crime prevention, quality of life improvement, and resource and personnel management, the city saw crime numbers drop significantly.
Reporting, statistical analysis, and information-sharing are central components of modern-day policing. The NYPD has been at the forefront of these developments. In 1994, CompStat, which stands for "comparison statistics," was launched. It allowed officials to track data block-by-block in near-real time, providing greater levels of accountability, focus, and follow-up than ever before. The NYPD tracks a considerable body of crime, traffic, and employee data and makes much of it available to the public. This data supports efficient, targeted policing across the city for all residents and visitors.
Throughout the year the NYPD produces analyses of crime trends, traffic data, and a wide range of reports and publications, all of which are updated on a regular basis. As we continue to ensure transparency and accountability, we invite you to explore this section further and to check back in the future.

The Great Suffrage Parade was the first civil rights march to use the nation's capital as a backdrop. Despite sixty years of relentless campaigning by suffrage organizations, by 1913 only six states allowed women to vote. Then Alice Paul came to Washington, D.C. She planned a grand spectacle on Pennsylvania Avenue on the day before Woodrow Wilson's inauguration - marking the beginning of a more aggressive strategy on the part of the women's suffrage movement. Groups of women protested and picketed outside the White House, and some were thrown into jail. Newspapers across the nation covered their activities. These tactics finally led to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. Author Rebecca Boggs Roberts narrates the heroic struggle of Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party as they worked to earn the vote. ...more

I found this really interesting and enjoyed the DC walking tour of some of the notable sites (even though I've been to them already). There are just many interesting facts in this book, such as "suffragette" was a term used by detractors to make fun of suffragists and that the 1913 parade cost close to 400K in today's dollars. This was a really nice companion read to the current Library of Congress exhibit on women's right to vote—confirms much of the information there.

This is an excellent history of the fight for the right to vote featuring the stories of many brave determined women. These women put their lives on the line and the politics then are eerily familiar today. Includes lots of photographs and an appendix with suffrage walking tour of DC.

Chapter 527 Blazing Rage
 Chapter 527 Blazing Rage
This place was a hall that was extremely common in Primeval City, its eaves mottled and dilapidated, and it was suffused with an ancient aura.
However, it was a different scene within the hall.
An incense stick burner in the shape of an auspicious beast emitted strands of smoke and fragrance that drifted out into the air.
The floor was covered in a scarlet red and luxurious carpet, tear shaped lanterns hung on its walls and emitted gentle beams of light that caused one's heart to feel refreshed and gladdened.
At the center of the hall was a table constructed from dark green and mottled jade.
Bing Shitian sat before the table with eyes that were like the night sky, deep and illusory, and the space between his brows was covered with an expression of peace and tranquility.
On the table was a Go board, Bing Shitian held a transparent jade glass and drank the wine within it in sips while making strategic moves with the black and white Go pieces, and he had a carefree bearing of enjoyment.
After they left the Warsoul Tablet, Yun Lansheng had brought him over here and not the northeast area where Qing Xiuyi resided.
Even though he felt that this was strange, but Bing Shitian didn't question it.
I've already waited for so many years, so what if I wait another while longer?
Conversely, he enjoyed this process very much. He felt anticipation, excitement, and nervousness, causing his mind that had been tempered to the point of being extremely composed to be unable to help but ripple slightly.
If he were on the battlefield, this trace of ripple might cause a calamity to befall him. But it was different now. This was the Primeval Battlefield, and there wasn't anything that could threaten him. So he safely enjoyed the various feelings this trace of ripple gave him, and he felt happy and pleased.
He felt as if he'd returned all those years ago in his youth, and all his thoughts would only change for that person.
Pat! Pat! Pat!
The clear and crisp sound of go pieces descending resounded out on the board, and it conformed to Bing Shitian's current feelings, even though his thoughts weren't calm, he acted without the slightest regret just like his placement of go pieces.
The nearby Yun Lansheng sighed in his heart when he saw this scene, and his mouth gaped yet was closed by him a moment later as he didn't know how to explain it to Bing Shitian.
Actually, he'd hesitated to speak numerous times since they'd entered this hall, and he seemed as if he wanted to speak, yet was unable to, as if there was something difficult to disclose, and as if he was afraid of destroying this rare peaceful atmosphere.
"Junior Brother Yun, how about you play a round with me?" Bing Shitian suddenly raised his head and asked with a smile on his face.
Yun Lansheng shook his head because he didn't have the mood to play go right now.
Bing Shitian smiled while his slender and white fingers casually played with a black and white go piece, and his voice had already become serious as he sighed. "Go ahead, exactly what it is that has caused you to actually be in such a difficult situation?"
Yun Lansheng puckered his lips, and he struggled for a long time in his heart before being unable to endure it any longer and said, "Senior Brother Bing, this matter is too significant, I'm worried..."
"There's nothing to worry about." Bing Shitian shook his head lightly and said, "Let me guess, could it be related to Senior Sister Qing?"
Yun Lansheng was stunned. He sized up the handsome young man before him and noticed the young man's smile was gentle, his expression peaceful and tranquil, and he seemed as if he wouldn't frown even if the sky collapsed.
This caused him to heave a sigh of relief in his head. Right, Senior Brother Bing is already a Heavenly Immortal, so how could some matters of love affect his state of mind?
When he thought up to here, he didn't hesitate any longer and sighed. "You're right, Senior Brother Bing, this matter is indeed related to Senior Sister Qing. In her current lifetime...she already has a person in her heart."
As he spoke, he'd always been paying attention to Bing Shitian's reaction, and he didn't see any trace of anger in Bing Shitian's expression, causing him to feel even more relieved.
"I never imagined that such a proud person like Senior Sister Qing would actually have someone she loves now." Bing Shitian laughed lightly as an imperceptible trace of self-ridicule gushed out on the corners of his mouth. "All those years ago, countless exceptional and outstanding geniuses in the Dark Reverie fell for her peerless beauty, yet none were able to move her heart. However, there's someone that has opened up her heart now, the matters of the world are truly impossible to predict."
Yun Lansheng seemed to have the numerous events of the past, and his expression was filled with emotion as well.
Bing Shitian's eyes were suffused with a trace of confidence as he shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Yun, you worried too much. Once Senior Sister Qing recovers the memories of her previous lifetime, she'll understand that no one in this world can replace my position in her heart. So what if she has someone she loves? It's only an illusion in the end."
When he saw Bing Shitian reveal such an expression, Yun Lansheng's heart sank instead, and he sighed. "Senior Brother Bing, the situation this time is different. Senior Sister Qing has... has..."
Bing Shitian was obviously stunned, and he said with a frown, "Junior Brother Yun, you've already attained the 8th level of the Earthly Immortal Realm now, yet you're so irresolute and hesitant. It's slightly disappointing."
His voice already carried a trace of severe criticism.
Yun Lansheng laughed bitterly without end and stayed silent for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Supposedly, long ago when Senior Sister Qing was in the Darchu Dynasty, she'd already given birth to a son for that person..."
Before he could finish speaking, the tablet before Bing Shitian had exploded abruptly, causing the go pieces to spray out in all directions and all over the floor, and they emitted a rapid and chaotic wave of sound.
Bing Shitian's handsome face didn't have a trace of a smile on it any longer, and it was completely icy cold as he stood up slowly.
Accompanying his rise, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly suffused the hall and rose steadily, causing the air to become chaotic and violent as it whistled out towards the surroundings, and it blasted apart everything in the hall and caused the entire floor to be in a mess.
At this instant, the entire hall was trembling intensely and was on the verge of collapse.
Moreover, everything in the world outside the hall seemed to have noticed Bing Shitian's rage, causing the wind to whistle furiously as the heavens and the earth was cast into a shade, and an aura that caused horror to arise in the hearts of all spread out and enveloped the entire world!
The cultivators in the entirety of Primeval City felt this terrifying aura, and their hearts shook as unease crept throughout their bodies as it felt as if doomsday was at hand.
"Senior Brother, calm your rage!" The nearby Yun Lansheng was greatly alarmed and hurriedly calm Bing Shitian down. However, at the instant he encountered Bing Shitian's gaze, he instantly shuddered in fear.
What sort of gaze is that!?
Icy cold and deep, indifferent and emotionless, a furious sea of flames roiled within it like lava, blazing and surging as if it wanted to annihilate everything and cause the heavens and the earth to be destroyed eternally!
"What's his name?" asked Bing Shitian with a calm voice. However, beneath the calmness of his voice was boundless ghastly streams of coldness surging about, and it caused others to feel as if they'd fallen into an icy pit.
"Chen Xi." This time, Yun Lansheng answered very readily. "Senior Sister Qing cares extremely about him."
"Oh? So it's him." Shocking phenomena and an awe-inspiring glow appeared in Bing Shitian's eyes, and he recalled the scenes he experienced before the Warsoul Tablet.
"Senior Brother, this kid's potential is shocking indeed. He has overcome the Phoenix Tribulation of Rebirth and has once defeated a Heavenly Immortal's Decree and Will. Moreover, he almost uprooted the entire Shang Clan by himself. Such strength can already be considered to be at the top amongst those of the same generation." Yun Lansheng explained from the side. "Presently, the Nine Radiance Sword Sect's Madman Liu has come looking especially for him, and he seemed to have been entrusted with this by the Violet Thistle Mountain's Bai Clan..."
"Enough!" Bing Shitian suddenly turned around with an electrifying gaze as he waved his hand to interrupt Yun Lansheng. "I'll make my own decisions, there's no need for you to speak any further."
Yun Lansheng sighed in his heart, yet he still couldn't help but warn. "Senior Brother, I only want to say that Senior Sister Qing cares extremely about Chen Xi. If you make a move against him, then I'm afraid..."
At this instant, Bing Shitian calmed down instead. No matter how furious he was in his heart or how he wished for nothing more than to annihilate Chen Xi right now, he forcefully endured it in the end.
He knew that Yun Lansheng was correct. The person he cared the most about was Senior Sister Qing, and if he caused his Senior Sister Qing to feel resentment towards him just because of an ant, it wouldn't be worth it.
But he was absolutely unable to endure this forever.
As a Heavenly Immortal, the woman he admired in his heart had actually been seized away by a tiny ant from the mortal world, and this was simple a terrible humiliation that he would be unable to vent without killing the ant!
"Senior Sister... Do you know that I once vowed all those years ago that no one in this world will be unable to obtain you if I can't...?" Bing Shitian's mutters drifted within the empty hall, and his voice was calm yet revealed a cold and murderous feeling.
Northeast area.
Chen Xi hesitated over and over again before taking a deep breath and trying hard to make himself look slightly calmer, and then he walked forward and raised his hand to lightly knock the door.
After a short moment, the door opened to reveal Qing Xiuyi's jade white and peerlessly beautiful face, and she seemed to be utterly not surprised at seeing Chen Xi before she turned around to walk into the room.
Chen Xi had originally prepared numerous methods. For example, what he would say and what expression he would reveal when Qing Xiuyi opened the door so that he would look more natural.
However, he never imagined that Qing Xiuyi would actually seem as if she'd expected he would arrive, and she turned around to walk into the room as soon as she opened the door and utterly didn't give him a chance to make some small talk.
But he came to an understanding with a quick thought. Qing Xiuyi's character had always been like this, and it would be strange if she suddenly started making small talk with him.
Qing Xiuyi's room was extremely simply and a trace of light and refreshing fragrance drifted in the air.
"Why did you come looking for me?" After they were seated, Qing Xiuyi asked directly. Her jet black hair was graceful and she wore a fringed dress, causing her to possess an extraordinary bearing that seemed aloof from the world like an otherworldly celestial maiden.
"The Immortal Emissary has arrived." Chen Xi pondered for a moment. He looked at Qing Xiuyi as he spoke, and he just happened to be able to clearly see her delicate and peerlessly beautiful face from this distance.
"I know." Qing Xiuyi replied with a nod. Her attitude was calm and even possessed a trace of indifference, and she seemed as if she'd utterly not taken this matter to heart.
Chen Xi was stunned and continued. "That person is Bing Shitian. He's supposedly your junior brother from your past life."
"I know." Qing Xiuyi repeated the same answer, and her attitude was still indifferent.
"You... Could it be that you don't have any other feelings? I heard he pursued you crazily all those years ago." Chen Xi was truly unable to endure it, and he asked the question he was the most concerned about.
Qing Xiuyi raised her eyes to look right at Chen Xi before she replied with a question. "If my past lifetime and this lifetime was a continuation, then why would I choose rebirth and to cultivate again?"
Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly started laughing, laughing extremely happily. "I understand. You cultivate at ease, I'll take my leave first."
As he spoke, Chen Xi had already risen and left excitedly.
He utterly didn't notice that at the instant he walked out of the door, the gaze that stared at him from behind was suffused with a trace of imperceptible gentleness.
Love was like a pair of silk fishing nets with a myriad of knots in between.
Why walk back and forth uneasily when fate will decide in the end?


This past year my last outdoor Indianapolis family photography session was with this beautiful extended family who had traveled from a variety of locations for the Thanksgiving holiday. I love seeing big families and documenting all of the special relationships and connections. I come from a big family (my dad has 5 brothers/sisters and my mom has 4), so extended family photos have a special place in my heart.
This session was also a fun one for me because one of the family members is a talented photographer in Chicago. I was so excited (and a bit flattered!) to photograph the family of a fellow photographer. This industry can often feel a bit lonely and connecting with new friends from around the midwest has been a lot of fun.
If you are seeking an Indianapolis family photographer to document your next holiday or special occasion I would love to work with you. Touch base with me soon and we can set a date to capture your growing family.
