June 2016: what a whirlwind!
June was incredible, amazing, busy, and exhausting. I was sick for a couple weeks, which was the low point… but it all got better after that. I read a lot, had another relaxing weekend at my aunt and uncle's house in the country, and then… had my big, brilliant business trip to New York Cityyyyyyyyyy. I'm still asking myself how this is my life right now.

On the Big Screen
TV Series:Game of Thrones: OH MY GOD. This season's finally been picking up the pace and I am so excited about so many things. I mean, there was less heartbreak, and MORE of the actual bad guys died, so that's a plus. There is one character I'll miss, but I'm SO EXCITED ABOUT THE REST. ALL OF IT. AHHHHH. I need season 7…
Daredevil: I'm almost done with season 2, and it's definitely getting better. The Punisher is like VERY VERY intriguing to me. Love this storyline.
Geordie Shore: Okay, so I binged through to series 5. BUT THEN I ACTUALLY STOPPED FOR A WHILE, so be proud of me. I just can't resist the crazy. And I'm starting to ship Gary and Charlotte to ridiculous amounts regardless of their constant drama.
Euro Cup 2016: I REGRET NOTHING but I am a Euro Cup whore. I watched all the games that I was able to – though I missed some of the better ones while I was in New York. Anyway, as always I love my German babies, but I'm also really really pro-Wales this year. They're awesome!!
Movies:You've Got Mail: Standard movie for sick days~ always flawless. (4.5/5)
The Proposal: Words can't even describe how much I love this movie. It was a rewatch, but long overdue. Also – Ryan Reynolds is unfairly hot. (4/5)
Made of Honor: Another rewatch on my sick day binge. I regret nothing. This movie makes me really happy. (4/5)
Pitch Perfect: Sick Day #2 started with Pitch Perfect. It'd been a while since I watched it and DAMN I love this movie so much. The last song in particular. I rewinded it like 3 times. Whoops. (4/5)
Pitch Perfect 2: I actually hadn't watched this yet. And I didn't like it that much. It fell into more "stupid" humor, which I dislike, and I cringed at the German stereotyping because SERIOUSLY DO NOT. (2.5/5)
Up in the Air: A rewatch, but this used to be one of my all time favorite movies. Now, I didn't like it as much. It was cool to see though Anna Kendrick as the recent grad who thinks she knows the real world, and the business trip side of it. Personal relevance ftw. The romance aspect made me sad though. Really sad. (3.5/5)
Deadpool: Rewatch in the plane. Still flawless. Must buy Bluray soon. (4.5/5)
This Means War: Another rewatch, also in the plane. Chris Pine is too sexy. I can't. (3.5/5)
Finding Nemo: Another plane rewatch and EEEE I'm so excited for Finding Dory now. This is such a feel good movie. (4/5)
Through My Speakers
In Real Life
- So first off, I was pretty sick for a week and a half or so. I ended up having to cancel my weekend with the biffle, which sucked.
- We had a belated May book club meeting and it was AWESOME. Yummy food and yummy looking waiter. The book up for discussion was The Forbidden Orchid which we all felt a little lukewarm about.
- A weekend in the country: my uncle was playing at the Fête de la Musique in Ermelo, so I joined him there and then went on to stay at his wonderful home in the country. It was so nice again, the weather slightly less so, but the company was great. And the fresh air definitely helped me feel better after my sickness.
- Then the BIG EVENT. June 22nd I left on my business trip to New York. It was INCREDIBLE. I loved being together with my US team, getting to know them better. I got to see my first ever trade show as an exhibitor at the Javits which was kind of SURREAL. And I got to help with a couple photo shoots which culminated in a HELICOPTER TRIP INTO MANHATTAN. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS MY LIFE, but it is amazing. We also had a huge party on a rooftop overlooking the Empire State Building, and woah… I'm just incredibly amazed and thankful that I got to be a part of this. I also got to know my managers on a much better level and feel like I impressed them, so that's awesome 🙂 I love my company so much! I am completely wiped out though. This weekend I can barely get myself off the couch.

Pakistan says it has launched a military strike at suspected militant and terrorist positions near the Afghan border.
Pakistani Army and paramilitary troops launched the helicopter search and attack mission in south Waziristan, one of the country's semi-autonomous so-called "tribal agencies."
Military spokesman, Major-General Shaukat Sultan Khan, described the target of the operation as suspected foreign terrorists.
He told VOA local authorities first negotiated with the alleged militants to get them to surrender, but that effort failed.
"They were suspected foreign terrorists, and they were offered to surrender voluntarily by the government, which they have failed to do, and hence this search operation has been launched," he said.
Pakistan has conducted a series of such strikes against suspected clandestine bases for foreign militants using the country as a safe haven.
Targets of these operations have included the al-Qaida network, blamed for major terror attacks on the United States in 2001, and the Taleban, former Afghan rulers ousted by U.S.-led forces for harboring al-Qaida leader, Osama bin Laden. These groups are believed to be conducting cross-border raids into Afghanistan.
The Pakistani strikes, along with intelligence and law enforcement operations, have resulted in the capture of hundreds of suspected al-Qaida members and other militants.
The most recent of these military operations took place in October. Eight foreign militants were killed and more than a dozen captured. That operation also cost the lives of two Pakistani soldiers.

Skip to 0 minutes and 7 seconds So what is peer tutoring? Well, peer tutoring in the form of paired reading is when a better reader reads with another child. Normally, this means an older reader is reading with a younger child. It's a very structured technique, and there's a very structured way that errors are corrected, that praise is given, and that the pair talk about books to promote their understanding of meaning.
Skip to 0 minutes and 34 seconds Why would you bother to do it? Well, there's a great focus on reading development. It's likely to improve reading for all students, although the tutor is likely to get roughly about three times the amount of gain as the tutee. How do we know this? Well, we've dome two large trials. We did a large randomized controlled in Fife involving 129 schools. What we found is in primary school that the children made about six months reading gain in about 12 weeks of using the technique. In secondary school, the gains went for everybody, mainly there were for tutors, and there were for tutors who were located in the bottom 10% of readers.
Skip to 1 minute and 16 seconds And what we found there was they made about 18 months reading gain in about 12 weeks. Another reason to do it is it's very cheap to implement. You can do it using the resources that you already have in the classroom and using books– either from the children's homes or from the school library. So how do you go about organizing paired reading? Well, the first thing is about choosing which books to read. It should be the tutee who chooses these books. They need to be of high interest, and that means maybe moving beyond the normal school library books. Books could be books brought in from home, magazines, or newspapers. It could be information books as well as stories.
Skip to 2 minutes and 0 seconds So it's important to allow the tutee to choose a book that interests them. The books that are being read need to be of a certain kind. They need to be of both the readability age of the tutee and slightly below the readability age of the tutor. It's a bit like the Goldilocks principle– the books need to be just so difficult that the tutee might find some words that they find difficult or that they struggle on but easy enough that the tutor can help them and correct errors when need be. So it needs to be in that middle gap– in between the two.
Skip to 2 minutes and 37 seconds We know that the tutee is going to choose a book, but we don't want them choosing a different book every week. We want to get them to persevere with books and stick with the same book for a couple of weeks at the very least. It's absolutely fine for them to bring in reading material from home. I've known classes in which boys that were very reticent readers will be delighted to bring in a football program and read that from cover to cover. So how often and where do the pair read? Each pair should read about once a week for 30 minutes per session. That 30 minutes would include the time moving between classes and getting settled.
Skip to 3 minutes and 17 seconds So I suppose we're really talking about 20 minutes a week actual reading. Why don't we do it more often? Well, during the Fife Peer Lending Project, which we worked in 129 primary schools, we found no benefit to having greater intensity. Some schools did it once a week. Some schools did it three times a week. But there was no greater gain to doing it three times a week. You didn't get three times of benefit. In terms of where– well, again, it doesn't necessarily need to be at a desk. We just want the pair to be able to sit comfortably side by side, where they can both see and share the book. So then how do you match students together?
Skip to 3 minutes and 57 seconds Well, what we need to do is take into account readability age. Normally, what happens is a matching of students is done across two year groups that are two years apart. That might mean in primary school, you're matching the year six group with the year four group or primary six with the primary four group. And in post-primary school, you're matching say, a year 10 to a year 8 year group. We don't take into account previous relationships or child preference. The only thing that matters is about readability, and the way in which we do that, is we rank order– the older class from the best in reading to the worst in reading.
Skip to 4 minutes and 38 seconds And then we rank order the younger class– best in reading to the worst in reading. We match the two best readers, and they form a pair. The second two best readers and they form a pair. The third, two and so on and so on down the list until everybody is matched. Now it's not quite as precise as that. So if you match Bonnie with Clyde, and you know that they're more likely to go away and rob a bank than do paired reading, then move the pairs. And if you match Sarah with Peter, and you know that last week, Sarah's dad ran off with Peter's dad, again you might not want to put these pairs together for personal reasons.
Skip to 5 minutes and 18 seconds In addition, you might want to think about parental agreements. There have been instances in the past where parents have been concerned that teachers were going off to the coffee room to go and have a coffee and put their feet up and have a currant bun whilst their children go on with doing the teaching, without being paid, of course. However, one of the things to assure them is by acting as tutor then their child is more likely to get a good benefit to their reading. So how do you go about getting paired reading up and running in your classroom? Well, what you're going to do is do a mixture of telling the children what they're going to do.
Skip to 5 minutes and 55 seconds Maybe demonstrate it– maybe you could demonstrate it with another teacher or with a classroom assistant or train up two other children who should be able to catch on quite quickly and then get them to demonstrate it to the rest of the class. In actual fact, we recommend a great introduction of this over sessions one to three, and then it's fully implemented over sessions 4 to 12– all the time you're going to be coaching and giving feedback. However, we're going to give much more detail about this in week two.
What is Peer Tutoring?
Please watch the video which introduces the concept of peer tutoring.
Please remember that the peer tutoring method is also known as paired reading.
In the next step you will be asked to share any initial thoughts about this technique.

Thousands of people, hundreds of new pleasure products, and yes, it feels like family. Since I've been a part of the pleasure product industry since 2000, I've had the pleasure of being part of a true industry family. That's just one reason it's so awesome to attend this bi-annual event - ANME, or the Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo.
What pleasure product innovations did I see? Dolls. Dolls that looked like life-size Barbies. And, technology. Specifically, speech-recognition technology in male pleasure products that respond when spoken to, or to specific stimulation. I did not see any technology that melded the two together, but anyone's who's seen Cherry 2000 knows that "android wives" aren't too far in the future.
I also saw incredibly upscale innovations that boasted Tiffany blue and gemstone crystals. There was even a wall of anal plug gemstones luring buyers in to see what consumers will be demanding next.
The highlight for me was once again hosting the Annual StorErotica Award Show. This is my time to shine! I'm able to humbly honor fellow industry honorees with kudos for nominations and for a select few, wonderful awards. Yes, this year we did also give award winners tequila shots. Below, I accepted an award for an absentee guest and was able to thank my own liver as I partook in the award shot.
I have to say, for me, it's a complete honor to be the host for such an esteemed event. 2018 was my second year hosting the award show and I've already been asked to host for the 2019 awards. I love being able to officially hand my colleagues trophies that praise their accolades and contributions.
I'm infinitely blessed to be a part of such a great industry and to be able to see cutting-edge pleasure product developments before they even hit the marketplace. This, combined with my coaching and sex toy concierge efforts, allow me to live a full and complete life.

Material From https://www.biddytarot.com/
Upright: Bondage, addiction, sexuality, materialism
Reversed: Detachment, breaking free, power reclaimed
The card of the Devil portrays a Satyr, a creature that is half man and half goat. In many myths, the goat was considered an unclean and lustful animal. However, the goat also symbolises the scapegoat, the person or thing upon which people project the inferior side of themselves in order to feel better about themselves. Thus the Devil is the scapegoat we blame for our troubles in life.
The Devil has the wings of a vampire bat, an animal that sucks the life blood out of its prey. This is symbolic of what happens when we give full reign to the realm of our raw desires. We lose our vitality and life energy. The Devil has an almost hypnotic stare, bringing those who come near him within his power. Above him is an inverted pentagram, signifying the darker side of magic and occultism.
At the foot of the Devil stands a man and a woman, both naked and chained to the podium on which the Devil sits. They appear to be held here, against their will, but only closer observation, the chains around their necks are loose and could be easily removed. This symbolises that bondage to the Devil is ultimately a voluntary matter which consciousness can release. The man and woman wear tiny horns like those of the Satyr – they are becoming more and more like the devil the longer they stay here. Both have tails – a further symbol of their animalistic or 'lower' tendencies.
The dark and doorless cave implies that the Devil dwells in the most inaccessible realm of the unconscious and only crisis can break through the walls.
The number 15 in numerology equals 6, the number that corresponds to the Lovers, and here the lovers are shown chained, in bondage to the material, sensual side of their nature. This card is ruled by Capricorn, the goat.
The card of the Devil represents the hidden forces of negativity that constrain you and that trick you into thinking you are imprisoned by external forces ultimately out of your control. The Devil is an inner force within each of us. He represents our fears, addictions, and other harmful impulses. He is a master of deception and creates the illusion that you are involuntarily bound to him. However, the figures in this card are free to remove the chains from around their necks, indicating that they have freely given the Devil any power he has over them.
When you see the Devil in a reading, ask yourself where you are feeling stuck or restricted in your life. You may be tricked into believing that you are being controlled by external forces when in fact you have created your own chains of imprisonment and powerlessness. A sense of hopelessness can accompany the Devil. You feel despair and have a pessimistic view of life because you feel that so much is outside of your control. You fear the worst, and this means that your fears have a hold over you and prevent you from leading a more fulfilling and optimistic life. What are the addictions or attachments restraining you from experiencing the freedom of the Fool? Are you giving yourself over to the illusion of helplessness and despair? Know that you have the power within to free yourself from the bondage of the Devil.
The Devil often reflects actual addictions and dependencies in your life, such as alcoholism, drug-taking, unhealthy relationships, over-spending and the like. You think you need something and you are willing to go against what you know to be right and true in order to obtain it. You need to break free of these negative patterns of behaviour by acknowledging the hold that they have over you and the negative impact they are having on your life. Often they are behaviours that are immediately gratifying but which cause longer-term damage to your inner fulfilment.
More generally, the Devil indicates that you are becoming obsessed and hell-bent on a particular idea, situation or endeavour. You are over-investing yourself in one area at the expense of other areas of your life. Often, the Devil card represents an over-dependence on material wealth. You may have become so fixated on becoming a millionaire or owning a fancy car that you have forgotten the importance of investing in your relationships or yourself. You have generated a belief that value lies in how much you earn or how much you own. You have created an unhealthy bond with these materialistic desires and you are now being controlled by this bondage.
The Devil appears when you are feeling trapped by things such as unhealthy or co-dependent relationships, financial debt, unproductive careers, unhealthy lifestyles or addictions, or consumerism and materialism. When the Devil is reversed, it indicates a growing awareness that you are currently in this state and you desire freedom from these harmful bonds. You may now be more willing and able to accept changes in your life and you may be more open to taking on new perspectives. However, it is not going to be an easy journey. You will need to battle your inner fears and anxieties to free yourself from the chains that bind you to your unhealthy habits. You need to conduct an audit of your life and eliminate those things that you know are harmful to you and your inner psyche. It may be about creating a healthier diet, watching less television, quitting smoking, spending more time with your loved ones, or focusing more clearly on your goals. Take this opportunity to bring about positive change in your life by providing yourself with ongoing encouragement and motivation. You must remain faithful to your goal of freedom.
If you have not yet succumbed to bad habits or addictions, be cautious about opening yourself up to these temptations in the future. Look out for anything that might put you in debt or under the control of another person who may not have the best of intentions. Avoid anything that might harm your body physically, such as alcohol, drugs, or any other addictions because these will prove to be very difficult to shake off later. You may believe they are only a temporary and harmless release from your personal issues but they may turn into a significant problem that could cause you a lot of grief in the long-term.
The Devil reversed may also refer to the Buddhist principle of detachment. Detachment, also expressed as non-attachment, is a state in which you overcome your attachment to the desire for things, people or concepts of the world, thus attaining a heightened perspective. The detached person is the happiest, for to live without attachment is to live in true freedom. It is important to note, however, that the Buddhist principle of detachment does not mean that you no longer care for things or people but rather that you separate your own existence from them in such a way that means you can still care about them but that you are not dictated or defined by their existence.

From the Victoria Advocate on this day in 1967:
Proud Old Sea Queen Leaves NYC Last Time
NEW YORK (AP) - The Queen Mary, once proudest of her breed, eased out of her 52nd Street pier and rode a harbor tide toward the Atlantic and into history Friday. It was her final departure from New York.
"She's a beauty - I hate to see her go," said Victor Rapp, who is studying to be a ship's officer, as he watched from a tugboat.
In 31 years on the high seas, the Queen Mary carried more than two million persons through weather fair and foul, in war and peace, more of them Americans than any other nationality.
This may have been in Mayor John V. Lindsay's mind when he said at a shipboard ceremony shortly before she left: "You don't have to be British to love the Queen Mary."
Beneath a blue sky pillowed with white clouds, the three-funneled liner, symbol of a vanishing era, was saluted by a mile long flotilla of harbor craft, their horns blaring in throaty adieu.
Thousands of persons in skyscraper windows and massed at the Battery waved good-bye to the 81,000-ton queen, second only in size to her younger sister, the Queen Elizabeth.
From her decks, 1,500 passengers waved back. And with grace and majesty, the old ship returned the honors with the deep bass of her steam whistles. She also saluted the Statue of Liberty for the last time. Then, as the impressive skyline of Lower Manhattan dropped down behind her, the Queen Mary blasted a last farewell - and was gone.
A dowager empress of the sea, the Mary's voyage is her 1,000th Atlantic crossing. Next month she sails from England around Cape Horn to Long Beach, Calif., to serve as a floating hotel and museum. Transatlantic jets made her outmoded, and she has been losing $2 million a year.
At her final California berth, she will be far removed from the North Atlantic sea lanes, where she survived fire, mines, gales, collisions, and once a wave so huge it nearly capsized her, all eight decks and 1,019 feet of her.

The proposed acquisition of Warbler Holdings (Pty) Ltd together with its subsidiaries IT4Africa (Pty) Ltd, Goldtech (Pty) Ltd, Healthwest Africa (Pty) Ltd and Solid Logistics (Pty) Ltd by Bluehearts (Pty) Ltd has stirred controversy and sent shivers in the retail market, with objection from different quarters. Sefalana Group drew first blood on Monday presenting arguments supporting their rejection of the transaction by the Competition Authority. Below, we reproduce their reasons and a response from Ramachandran Ottapathu, the sole Director of Bluehearts (Pty) Ltd.
Conflict of interest arising from common ownership
• Bluehearts (Pty) Ltd is solely owned by Mr Ramachandran Ottapathu. The acquisition would give Mr Ottapathu control over the affairs of IT4 Africa (Pty) Ltd, Goldtech (Pty) Ltd, Healthwest Africa (Pty) Ltd and Solid logistics (Pty) Ltd ("the Targets") and therefore its dealings with its customers.
• Mr Ottapathu is the Chief Executive Officer of the Choppies group which holds a dominant position in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods sector in Botswana and is therefore a direct competitor to Sefalana. This group under the direction of Mr Ottapathu would be able to procure products such as electronic equipment from the Targets which in turn would be owned and controlled by Mr Ottapathu.
• Mr Ottapathu has a significant personal ownership stake in the Choppies group. This along with his position as CEO of the Choppies group gives him the ability to significantly influence the affairs of that Group and its dealings with its suppliers.
• Sefalana currently procures a wide range of products from the Targets and has done so for a number of years. These include brands such as Samsung and Hisense. Sefalana has a Samsung Store in Store department in two of its stores where a large range of Samsung products are sold in our flagship store and is supplied by the Targets. We have built up a strong relationship with our supplier (the Targets) and our customer base who has become accustomed to Sefalana offering a wide range of electronic products at competitive prices.
• The common control conflict which would arise from the proposed transaction would enable Mr Ottapathu to offer Choppies better and preferential deals on products currently sourced from the Targets by Sefalana.
• Such structure would also enable Mr Ottapathu to gain personally from both the supply of the products (by the Targets) perspective and also the sourcing of the products (by Choppies). This could potentially be at the expense of the shareholders of Choppies who rely on Executive Management to ensure strong Governance structure is in place that fosters fair, transparent and equitable trading and transacting. There would be significant risk of breach in this regard.
• The proposed transaction and therefore the implied ownership structure would also result in conflict of interest in as far as Mr Ottapathu would need to ensure that neither his own company nor Choppies would be advantaged or disadvantaged at any point in time as a result of this conflict. We would argue that being able to achieve this effectively is impossible.
• Such structure would manifest a monopolistic position over time and would not allow Sefalana and Choppies to compete on a fair and level playing field.
Access to sensitive competitor information
• In the event that the Propose Transaction is allowed to be completed, Mr Ottapathu would be a supplier to our Group, and would therefore have access to, and influence over the pricing offered to us. Mr Ottapathu would have access to the promotional calendar, and would be privy to the items that are being promoted, the cost of the items that are being sold to us and the discounts applied.
• Access to this information will enable Mr Ottapathu to unfairly counter the promotional activity in our outlets by running promotions in his Choppies at preferential terms.
• We are of the view that we could be prejudiced on pricing as it would not be improbable that preferential offers are directed to the businesses in which he has common stake.
• The same argument would apply in times of short supply where available product would be directed to his businesses in priority to ours.
• It is not uncommon for large discounts to be applied to products that are being discontinued to make way for new models. We believe that these may not be passed on to us or that the best deals would be passed on to Choppies.
• It is important for retailers to be seen as the trendsetters and to have the latest product lines available for their customers. We are of the view that new product launches will not be done fairly and that these will be channeled into the businesses where Mr Ottapathu has a stake in priority to his competitors.
• One of the target businesses is the sole supplier of Hisense products in Botswana, and we are therefore not able to purchase this product from another source within Botswana. We would therefore be at the mercy of a dominant shareholder of a competitor business. This may result in us having to discontinue the sale of these products in our stores. This would naturally result in the need to reduce overheads currently dedicated to the sale of these products in our stores. The largest overhead in this regard would be payroll costs.
Anti – competitiveness
• Our competitiveness in the market is largely determined by our ability to source products at the best prices so that we can offer a wide range of products at market related prices to our customers. We belive that our largest competitor will not allow us to do this effectively and this would compromise our position in the market.
• We have consistently worked with our suppliers to grow and develop their brands in our businesses for our mutual benefit. As noted above, we have two Samsung Shop in Shop concept stores in our business and have strived to grow the brand and its presence over the years. We have grown a client base around our offerings in our outlets and believe the Proposed Transaction will severely affect our ability to remain competitive in this sector and may unfairly advantage our largest competitor who is already a dominant player in the market.
Ottapathu's response to Sefalana
• The whole literature is based on assumptions and presumptions and fear, not based on any facts on the ground.
• Choppies do not sell any electronics or household equipment. I cannot just start selling these products in Choppies just because I am a shareholder in both companies.
• Refer to Choppies annual reports it clearly states that Choppies is a mass grocery retailer that itself clearly states its objectives.
• There is no exclusive contract in any of these companies and many retailers are bringing these products at better prices from other sources this also confirmed by Mr Kampmann in the hearing that all these products can be sourced cheaper from outside .
• These are multi national brands with properly structured pricing and margins there is no room for maneuvering in this category.

Making Wine Bottle Rack
Wine bottle rack can provide a convenient, attractive way to display and store bottles of wine, from special vintages you save a great event to favorite varieties for everyday use. Buying a decorative metal wine rack or installing a wall-mounted rack can be expensive or complicated. Fortunately, you can make a beautiful, expandable wood wine rack using affordable materials and some basic tools and carpentry skills.
Wine bottle rack, cut side support rails and wine. Cut the board to create four pieces 12 inches long and 6 feet high. These are your side supports. Then cut the remaining board in half both in length and width, giving you four boards 24 inches long and 3 inches tall. These boards will become your wine rails.
Make wine bottle rack, cut grooves. Use a jigsaw, scrolling saw or a table saw and dado set to create two notches in each long side of each board. Each cut should be an inch from a corner, 3/4 inch deep and 3/4 inch wide. These slots allow you to place two wine rails on two side supports, creating a rectangle of wood that is strong and stable. Each rectangle can serve as a stand-alone wine rack or stack atop another rectangle to accommodate more bottles.Build Wine Racks Wood

Celebrate Organic Month: The Process of Making Organic Jasmine Green Tea
One of the most intriguing of teas that often prompts curious tea drinkers to ask us: How does Jasmine Green tea get that floral flavor? Is it made of flowers? Is it a perfume? Essential oils? This complex and delicate green tea closes out our Organic Month tea exploration, and we'll help answer the question: How does that tasty floral flavor get into my cup of green tea?
Jasmine scented tea has been produced in China for centuries. It is famous for its fragrant, sweet essence along with hosting the benefits of energizing green tea.
Our Jasmine Green tea comes from China, beginning with organic tea gardens with rich history in tea cultivation. Tea leaves are hand plucked and then taken to the factory to start processing. The green tea leaves are then withered to remove moisture. During this time, more developed flavors are being established by a natural chemical change within the leaf. After withering, the tea leaves are pan-fired in a large rotating cylinder at high heat to halt oxidation.
Before the drying phase is complete, the tea is scented. To scent the tea, the jasmine flowers must be freshly picked and not yet bloomed. The elegant buds are selected and removed from the plant in the morning and then added in layers with the tea leaves. Overnight, the buds open and bloom, imparting their floral fragrance into the tea leaves. The flowers are then removed, so no buds remain in the tea, and the scented tea is then dried completely. Once dried, the final product moves on to be placed in tea bags or loose leaf packaging, then to your tea cup.
Shop Jasmine Green teas.
Visit our How It's Made interactive tool to click through various tea types and explore the steps in processing.
Organic Month may be coming to an end, but we celebrate organic tea all year 'round. Follow our blog and keep up with us on social media for product information, tips, recipes, and more

Singularity, the RSS feed aggregator!
Currently, I'll admit it's not much to look at. Still, with only a week or two of work, it can already find and display the contents of feeds off the internet. I've started working on the database portion of the project, which will allow a user to add feeds to the program, and view new entries in feeds that they follow. Overall, I'm very proud of what I've got so far. However, there are a couple of problems:
First, this project is, and always has been, a very personal project. As such, the code is extremely platform-specific, and I'm still not sure if I'll ever release it to the public. It's more of a creation that I need, rather than something that I'm making for others to use and enjoy.
Second, due to the time sensitivity, I've had to put every other project on hold for this one. Until I've got this in a usable enough form that I can rely on it for my RSS needs, I really cannot afford to spend time on other projects. This means that you'll probably be hearing about this, and only this, for at least a month. Sorry guys!
Now that that's out of the way, some very good news: Classes end for me in under a month, which means that I'll probably have a significantly larger portion of time to devote to my personal projects. I currently plan to get back to Chainsaw Deathrace v2.0(finally!), as well as my map editor and some of my smaller projects. My goal is to get at least 2 or 3 releases out during the summer months. That means I'll be going into next year with fewer projects in progress, and maybe I can start working on some other things like that old RPG engine. Time will tell.

Kamala Harris and Cory Booker lead the charge to advance an anti-lynching law in the Senate after an entire week of calling for violence at whatever cost against GOP members and their followers according to NewsOne.
First off, the last I looked, any kind of "murder" is already illegal. This is just another bull shit Spartacus moment to make them look like they know what they are doing.
It sends a very clear signal that we as a nation will not tolerate bias-motivated violence in any form–link
I guess calling for violence against people you don't agree with isn't considered "bias-motivated violence". The Democratic Party is so full of nonsense I don't know how anyone with a brain could possibly follow it. It is not accepting of anyone unless they believe in globalization and socialism, period. Well and this nonsense laid out in this post.
Here is the perfect response to this fake legislation:
Eh? The Civil Rights Act of 1968 enacted 18 U.S.C. § 245(b)(2), permits federal prosecution of anyone who "willingly injures, intimidates or interferes with another person, or attempts to do so, by force because of the other person's race, color, religion or national origin".

If you are looking to take strokes off your golf game, focus on putting. Putting can account for up to 40 percent of your score. So if you're struggling to reach your golf goals this year, it may be time to put in more work on the putting green. Follow the tips below, and you will begin to lower your scores.
Proper alignment is is one of the fundamentals of good putting. You want to be able to aim your putter face at your target on a consistent basis. You can make this simple by choosing an intermediate target when putting. Simply pick out a spot a few inches in front of your ball, along your intended line, and line your putter face up to that spot. You will be more effective lining your putter up to a target that is a few inches in front of you than you will lining up to a target 30 feet away.
Watch the professionals on the PGA Tour each week and you will see they make their putting stroke using a shoulder motion. Letting your shoulders swing the putter back is a key fundamental to making a good stroke. You want to feel your hands remain passive during the stroke, and let your shoulders move the putter back and forth. The motion should feel like you are rocking your shoulders. This movement allows the putter to swing on the proper path and will produce a more consistent roll on your ball. A stroke in which your hands are too involved leads to inconsistent contact and can get the ball hopping in the air. As with your hands, your lower body should also remain passive during your putting stroke.
Distance Control
Controlling the distance you hit each putt can make life easier on the greens. Rather than sweating over a 4-foot putt, you can tap the ball in if you have good distance control. When looking at your putt, you need to be able to determine if your putt is uphill or downhill. Uphill putts will be slower and require a firmer stroke, while downhill putts will be faster and require a softer stroke. This will help you determine how far to take the putter back. One of the fundamentals of good distance control is taking the putter back the same distance as you swing it through. This creates a nice rhythm and pendulum motion.

Huffington Post Union of Bloggers Launches Website
The Huffington Post Union of Bloggers, or HPUB, a non-profit corporation comprised of current and former bloggers and employees of the Huffington Post, has announced the launch of its website, www.hpub.org.
We learned a little more about HPUB through its facebook page, where it declares "Writers and bloggers of HP, past and present, paid and unpaid, satisfied and outraged, come and join us here." From its description:
We didnt like HP's slide to tabloid journalism and we dont approve of the AOL takeover. 9,000 bloggers didnt spend their time and effort building Huffpo's content so that the website could be taken over by people with a very different agenda.
We took a look at the website, which has some global news-type stories along with manifestos like "We Are a Police State." The featured article? "Why the Huffington Post 'Fired' Me." It begins, compellingly:
Last Thursday, I was 'fired' as a labor blogger from the Huffington Post by executive business editor Peter Goodman for helping a group of union construction workers disrupt a conference of bankers. (I put fired in quotations marks because I, like the majority of people who blog for the site, was not paid for my contributions.)
Unfortunately, the HPUB site, according to its FAQ, is still " working on a business model to pay contributors." We wish it the best of luck.

This is pretty funny. Suddenly the Conga Line of Suckholes is a diverse collection of independent minds:
Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson says it "beggars belief" that Labor is totally united on the question of an apology to the indigenous stolen generation...I suppose it also "beggars belief" that everyone in the government might oppose sex with animals, or Holocaust denialism, or illegal wars of pre-emption based on lies and greed, but no doubt the more open minds in the Coalition are prepared to give such things a fair hearing. Right?
Dr Nelson said there were a range of views in the coalition, which reflected the breadth of opinion in the community.
