"We call it soil, earth or ground and due to its vast scale and its ability to sequester immense quantities of greenhouse gases, it could just be the one thing that can balance our climate, replenish our freshwater supplies and feed the world.
That's why some people are racing to save our soil, in hopes our soil just might save us." – Documentary 'KISS THE GROUND'
What is regenerative agriculture?
"Regenerative agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that increases biodiversity, enriches soils, improves watersheds, and enhances ecosystem services. It aims to capture carbon in the soil and above-ground biomass (plants), reversing current global trends of atmospheric accumulation and climate change. At the same time, it offers increased yields, resilience to climate instability, and higher health and vitality for farming and ranching communities." – Terra Genesis International
Regenerative agriculture explores a change in the concept from that of the world simply as a machine at our disposal with an unlimited supply of resources, towards a vision of life as an organic, living and spiritual entity, promoting the interaction between animals and plants, ensuring a sustainable equilibrium and thereby enriching the soil.
Erosion or desertification, when the land becomes dust, is a consequence of the practices of modern agriculture. Industrial farming, together with the high consumption of chemical pesticides, destroys nutrients in the soil.
Is CO2 our friend or foe?
Even today there is a great level of ignorance about the properties of the earth and its benefits. Let's take, for example, the much-feared CO2 or carbon dioxide. For years the fight against climate change has focused on this toxic gas, a gas that we ourselves produce and exhale into the atmosphere and is in turn absorbed by plants. Carbon is the driving force and the basis of every species on earth. We humans are actually 16% carbon, which comes from our intake of vegetation or other organisms that ingest it.
The process is simple: plants use sunlight as energy by attracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turning it into fuel. That's how they grow. But in addition, 40% of that fuel is transferred to the roots and filtered into the microorganisms in the soil, thus providing the necessary mineral nutrients to the plants. That means that soil has the ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This is what is known as 'carbon capture'.
Since 1970, we have lost a third of the Earth's arable layer, which has a direct impact on climate change. If we take into account that both water and carbon are part of the organic matter in our soil, by damaging it we are expelling more water and carbon into the atmosphere. This dries out the earth, turning it into dust and creating desertification. The healthier the soil, the greater the absorption of water and carbon dioxide. Can we see the pattern?
Without living plants, we find more evaporation, whereas what we are actually looking for is the opposite. Greater perspiration means that moisture from the soil comes out through the plants, increasing the humidity of the air and producing more rain.
Regenerative agriculture is a catch-all phrase for farming and grazing practices that are aimed at supporting biodiversity within the soil. The general idea is that enriching the soil will lead to more carbon sequestration, i.e. pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere and channelling it into the soil.
How does this impact our health?
Looking at this issue from a food perspective, if our soil is healthy and full of nutrients, any food that is either grown in that soil or, in the case of an animal, feeds directly on produce grown in it, will be of better quality, richer in nutrients and therefore healthier for us. On the other hand, when we consume products grown using conventional chemical agriculture, which completely removes microorganisms from the soil, we are consuming toxins and food devoid of nutrients.
And, locally, what is being done and what can we do?
Tourism is the predominant industry in the Balearic Islands and this year the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated that an island like Ibiza can no longer afford to put all its eggs in the same basket. Supporting regenerative agriculture in Ibiza not only helps to build a more sustainable island with fertile soils, a productive farming sector and a diversified economy, it can also help to reduce our carbon emissions.
Ibiza Produce met with Maribel Juan, president of APAEEF (The Association of Organic Producers of Ibiza and Formentera) to learn more about the organisation's work within the organic agricultural sector of the two islands.
Ibiza Produce – What are your objectives and what activities do you undertake?
Maribel Juan – Our main objective is the promotion of organic agriculture. We do this in various ways, through:
- training, either by providing new farmers with technical training on crop management, or training on new systems such as agroecology, regenerative agriculture or permaculture thus facilitating the success of projects;
- supervision and support, by providing advice to producers who are already in operation and to those who are entering the farming world, assisting with crop management, planning, treatments and ongoing reviews/ support;
- we manage a land bank, through which we are connecting owners of disused land with those who are interested in starting an agricultural activity, through a "Majoral" contract as was done in the past. This contract is an exchange agreement and not a rental contract with speculative prospects;
- we are currently rolling out a school gardens programme in collaboration with the San Antonio town hall, through which we are creating edible gardens in several schools and colleges. The aim is to raise awareness at a young age through teaching children about where food comes from, how to sow seeds and grow crops, their benefits and who produces them. The idea behind this project is to be able to extend it to the other municipalities of the island.
As an association, we also organise an Ecological Fair, which aims to promote organic producers. And we are part of the "Xarxa de Pagesos Ecologics de Balears", through which we create synergies with the other Balearic islands and have representation with the Balearic government.
Another project which we are working on at organic farm Cas Secorrat, Buscastell is one that was born 2 years ago with the help primarily from IbizaPreservation and through synergies with Sustainable Art and the Consell d'Eivissa. In this project, 500 almond trees were planted, 100 of which were grafted with local varieties. This is a pilot project for the recovery of this crop which is characteristic of our landscape and culture.
Ibiza Produce – With the current situation have you noticed an increase in applications for land or a growing interest in cultivating crops?
Maribel Juan – Yes, we are witnessing an increase in people who have contacted us because they are interested in growing crops. I believe that the primary sector should be seen as an important engine of the island. Moreover, to highlight the food sovereignty and the circular economy that agriculture provides us, we must be more resilient. We must create a resilient island, we may not be able to meet the entire demand for food production but, to the extent that the land allows us, it must be taken advantage of. This would also entail a significant generation of employment. There are more and more people interested in farming. What the island requires, and what we at APAEEF continuously emphasise, is the infrastructure to be able to take a step further and give an added value to the product, in order to be able to sustain a good agricultural structure, especially when we take into account that organic agriculture in Ibiza is growing at a rate of about 10% annually.
Ibiza Produce – What is the surface area of organic farmed land in Ibiza?
Maribel Juan – According to the latest data for 2019 from the Consell Balear de la Producció Agroria Ecolagica (CBPAE), Ibiza has around 689,90 hectares of land currently in use for organic farming. To put this into perspective, the Balearic Islands have a total of 31.439,70 hectares of organically farmed land. Ibiza lags behind Mallorca and Menorca in the volume of organic agriculture. This is why it is important and the time has come to make the leap and invest in the required infrastructure.
Ibiza Produce – As for biodiversity in Ibiza, what can you tell us?
Maribel Juan – We are currently preparing a project to analyse biodiversity across the island's farms. The idea is to study the biodiversity of the flora and fauna of the island of Ibiza, to know its benefits and its impact, in addition to the level of 'carbon sequestration'. To better understand how healthy our soil is, we will use biodiversity indicators based on three areas: environmental, economic and social. We believe that we have to rely on these three indicators in order to have a more global vision. The soil is alive, which is why there are tables for carbon measurement depending on the the operation at each farm – for example through the types of crops planted or rotations – since any activity involving the soil would affect the carbon test we perform.
Ibiza Produce – Have you already started with the study of biodiversity indicators?
Maribel Juan – They will start shortly, primarily in Mallorca. We have recently taken part in a course with the Society of Organic Agriculture. The idea is to show that organic farming is the only real alternative. We already know that, in large part, non-organic agriculture is responsible for climate change, water pollution and sea pollution – as was the case of "Manga del Mar Menor" with floods carrying fertilizers into the sea and killing a lot of fish. Other problems include arable soil erosion, desertification, loss of bee populations and the knock-on impact of all these factors on our food.
Ibiza Produce – What can we tell those people who are still undecided about organic?
Maribel Juan – With organic farming what we do is keep the soil alive so that future generations can continue to sow seeds for their future. If we continue at the current pace with the practice of pouring chemicals into our soil, we will get to a point where we have no soil left.
From an economic perspective, when people are concerned about the cost of organic food, one needs to look at the numbers. For €720 per year you can have a weekly organic vegetable box which feeds a family of 4. How does this compare to the cost of the latest mobile phone or TV? It is very clear!
Today the price difference is not so great between organic and non-organic. In many cases they are equal or lower. We can check this against prices in EcoFeixes. It is true that going to the supermarket is more convenient as a one-stop shop, but what about the quality of the product? Another advantage of buying organic is the traceability of it: knowing where it comes from, how it has traveled, who produced it and under what conditions, the nutrients in the produce, etc. After all, we eat to nourish ourselves and enjoy the flavour, whereas today many supermarket products have no taste.
And finally, if we buy locally, we contribute to the economy of the island. As mentioned previously, I think it is time to rethink our economic model and integrate other economic models such as renewable energy, green tourism, education and research. We have an infrastructure of hotels that could perhaps be converted into residences for students who would like to come to the island to carry out research. The current situation with the pandemic has highlighted how fragile the situation is in Ibiza.
Ibiza Produce – How can our readers be part of the change together with APAEEF?
Maribel Juan – At APAEEF we have 2 types of memberships, supporters/friends with a fee of 25€ euros per year and farmers/producers at 35€ euros per year. The farmers/ producers have free access to the courses that are organized by the association, access to all the information about subsidies and financial aid from the different administrations and, of course, technical advice.
Supporting members also have access to free courses and, if any of the courses are paid for, then they can get a special discount. We consider that it is more important than ever to have supporting partners. They can play a very important role in local organic food production here in Ibiza, with all the positive ramifications that it can bring to the island.

Exposing the myth of true position
Clark, Richard
It's a scenario that is playing itself out today in shops all over the country. A machinist brings a part in for inspection after CNC milling. The true position tolerance listed on the print (0.0015") is viewed as "wide open." After CMM layout inspection, the positions of the holes are found to be twice what is allowed according to print. The usual questions are asked: How far are they off? Is my X or Y axis position causing the problem? If this sounds remotely familiar, then you have experienced it also.
The myth of true position begins with what seem like common sense assumptions. If the true position tolerance is listed as 0.0015", then we have close to that value to work with. In reality, you can rarely even use half of the value and still be within the print allowance.
Exposing the myth begins with understanding the geometries that define true position. Using the tolerance of 0.0015", in the above example and a nominal position of X 5.0000, Y 5.0000, we can construct a point at the nominal position. (Note: For simplicity we will not factor in any bonus tolerance from hole diameter at MMC or LMC.)
Now we create a geometrical perfect circle, having a diameter equal to the true position tolerance, with the nominal position as its center point.
We have now established our boundary and target. For our hole to be within the 0.0015" true position tolerance, the eenter point must lie within this created circular boundary. We can now plug in some fictional center points to disprove some of the common sense assumptions.
Maybe if we only used what seems like half of the tolerance and the center point of our hole was located at X 5.0007", Y 5.0007", we'd be there.
This 0.0015" tolerance just keeps getting smaller. So how much could we be "off" in each axis and still be within tolerance? The answer: 0.00053". That's not a typo, 5 tenths and 30 millionths.
That is the reality of true position, we only have a little over a third of the listed tolerance to use in each axial direction.
This is a good target to use but keep in mind it's not cast in stone. We could have scenarios where more than one third is used in one direction if the other direction used much less than one third. A best case example of this would be if our center point were located at X 5.0000", Y 5.0007" or X 5.0007", Y 5.0000".
GD&T examples such as this serve as models to improve the communication between a shop's machining and inspection areas.
After all, the cost of a good, used CNC machining center: $70,000
Cost of today's high end inspection equipment: $30,000 $80,000
Having your machinists and inspectors on exactly the same page… Priceless

I'm having a tough time going to sleep so I'm thinking that if I take L-Theanine at bedtime, maybe it will help. I'm on 50mg of Tramadol at bedtime. I do not want to add another Drug.
Has anyone used L-Theanine with the drug Tramadol?
Question posted by lindak241 on 25 June 2011

It's fine. I do it, adds extra sedated properties but is fine for me.
Hi Linda,
Call your doc, find out if you can take Tramadol during the day, so it will not cause insomnia at night.
It may build up enough in your system that it will still work on pain during sleep, yet not cause insomnia.
Sometimes opiate or opioid meds can cause insomnia or the opposite.
Best wishes to you,
Hey linda, Based on the interaction checker results there is not interaction between your selected medicines, though it is always best to consult the pharmacist or doctor first. L-theanine is know to have an anti-anxiety effect but without drowsiness so not sure that it will have the effect you want. You might try some melatonin for sleep. You can find it at the vitamin counter.
Just my thoughts,

Alcorcón Museum of Contemporary Glass Art (Madrid, Spain) hosts "Genotype of freedom" exhibition. As the name implies, it invites visitors to discover Ukrainian genotype of freedom expressed in the paintings of Ivan Marchuk, the most famous contemporary Ukrainian painter.
An exhibition with the same name took place at Mystetskyi Arsenal museum in Kiev in 2016. It featured 150 paintings from cycles «The Voice of My Soul», «Landscape», «White planet 1», «White planet 2», «Still Life», «New Expressions», «A Look into Immensity».
"Ivan Marchuk is a national artist of Ukraine, laureate of National prize of Ukraine named after Taras Shevchenko, honorary citizen of the cities of Kyiv and Ternopil, a member of the Golden Guild of the Roman Academy of contemporary art. The artist created more than 5000 paintings, which can be found on all of the world continents. For half a century of creative activity he had more than 150 monographic and 50 collective exhibitions. The artist exhibited mainly abroad (Lithuania, Germany, Poland), performing the function of public diplomacy: affirming Ukraine's place in European art context.", according to Mystetskyi Arsenal site.
As far as I see, some new paintings are presented at the exhibition in Madrid. It seems they are related to the recent tragic events in Ukraine:
The most valuable painting of Ivan Marchuk you can see here. I used in this post his "Golden night" created in 1981.
Last year one of Ukrainian companies devoted a special issue of its magazine to the painter. My friend Oleg supervised this project. Recently he told me that Marchuk's fans will get another news in the near future. What it will be is a secret so far )

1:12 How can we achieve true joy and happiness?
Desmond Tutu: Joy is the reward really of seeking to give joy to others. When you are caring, compassionate, more concerned about the welfare of others than of your own, you suddenly feel a warm glow in your heart. Because you have wiped the tears from the eyes of another.
Dalai Lama to Desmond Tutu (in 2015): "Perhaps according your tradition we may meet in Heaven in the presence of God. You as a Christian good practitioner, you go first, you may some other day help me bring together."

Polanski stars as Trelkovsky, a paranoid young file clerk who is on the verge of succumbing to the constant dread he feels. As the unofficial 1922 adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, this German Expressionist masterpiece was almost lost to the ages when the filmmakers lost a copyright lawsuit with Stoker's widow (who had a point). With its penchant for gore and heaving bosoms, Horror of Dracula set the template for what became Hammer Film Productions' singular brand of horror iconography, but it's also done rather tastefully the first time out here, not least of all because of Lee bring this aggressively cold-blooded version of Stoker's monster to life.

With a cast of high-minded British theatrical actors, many trained in the Royal Shakespeare Company, at least the early movies in this Gothic horror/action mash-up series were overflowing with histrionic self-importance and grandiosity. 1976's The Tenant is the culmination of Polanski's obsession with communal living and in some ways is the creepiest.

In my first three years of investing, I made each of these mistakes.
There are benefits to learning from the mistakes of others. That's why I love reading non-fiction. By learning from others, you can avoid the pain of making these mistakes yourself. You can start with a foundation built by others. This concept is demonstrated through Isaac Newton's quote:
"If I've seen further, it's by standing on the shoulders of giants".
Let's go through my five largest mistakes.
1. Chasing High Dividend Yielding Stocks
My Mistake
I used to love high dividend-yielding stocks. I got excited when the dividend cash payments hit my account. But I did not realize that stellar dividend yields often indicate poor future prospects for the company.
For a few of my stocks, the low P/E ratios and high yields were justified by a poorly performing business. After all, the depressed share price reflects low or risky expected future cash flows from the business – a form of market efficiency. This is why high-yielding stocks can be like a trap. This is called the value trap.
For some of my high-yielding stocks, the dividend was eventually cut and the stock price declined. Not only did I take a hit on dividend cash flow, and also suffered capital losses from a declining share price. I fell into the value trap.
Lessons Learned
Investing based on dividend yield alone is dangerous. You need to look deeper into the business. Shrinking earnings, ballooning debt or an unsustainable payout ratio may be uncovered. Such factors point towards an unsustainable dividend and an eventual dividend cut.
Look at the Payout Ratio
The payout ratio can tell you if a dividend is sustainable. It is the fraction of the companies' earnings that are paid out as a dividend. A payout ratio of over 100% over multiple years is bad news. It means that the business is paying out more as a dividend than it earns. The business needs to self-cannibalize by reducing assets or taking on extra debt to pay the dividend. That is unsustainable.
Understand Share Buy Backs
I also learned that dividends aren't the only way for a company to return cash to shareholders. They can also use share buybacks. When a company purchases its own shares, it reduces the total number of shares available. Your "share" of the business expands to represent a larger portion of the business. With share buybacks, you see the cash in the form of increased stock price – a capital gain.

2. Not Fully Understanding My Investments
My Mistake
Chasing high dividend yielding stocks was a symptom of a bigger problem. I didn't understand the businesses that I owned with enough depth. I would assess balance sheets and income statements, but I did not study trends over time. Nor did I deeply investigate how the company acquired and maintained its competitive advantage.
Lessons Learned
When you buy a stock, you are a business owner. As a business owner, you get to share in the company's earnings and earnings growth. And you don't want to over pay for these earnings.
To evaluate the company, you need to understand and constantly track the financial position – the income statement and balance sheet. Plus, you need to understand how the business works, including:
- Strategy and competitive advantage;
- Organizational values; and
- Industry and business risks.
Market Efficiency and Indexed Funds
Further, it will be very difficult to find information that is not already baked into the stock price by millions of others. This is called market efficiency. It is for this reason that I now invest in Indexed Funds.
Indexed funds allow one to invest without digging into the unique details of specific companies. However, it's still important to understand the underlying mechanics of indexed ETFs or indexed mutual funds. I like to read about market efficiency, to know the stocks that make up the index.
3. Not Investing in Indexed Funds Sooner
My Mistake
For my first three years of investing I only invested in individual stocks in the U.S. and Canada, inspired by the book "The Intelligent Investor".
Some of these investments turned out great. Others did not. Over a five-year period, I did not beat the market after fees and transaction costs. Furthermore, I spent lots of time researching and monitoring specific companies.
Today over 97% of my portfolio is in globally diversified indexed funds. I'll share why. Some great books that cover these topics include:
Available information is priced in to each stock by millions of investors. Markets are fairly efficient. To beat the market, you need to:
- Have information and forecasting abilities that exceed the combined efforts of millions of others;
- Have insider info that no one else has; or
- Be lucky.
Skill. A stock's price is based on millions of buy and sell transactions. Each transaction embeds information into the stock price about expected future cash flows, including the risk of these future cash flows. With the internet, new information becomes available rapidly. Other humans and algorithms quickly exploit security mispricing and embed the information into the stock price. Markets are not perfectly efficient. But they are efficient enough to make it extremely difficult to beat returns through selection of individual stocks.
Luck goes both ways. Good luck results in market-beating returns, and bad luck results in underperformance. The role of luck will naturally reduce to zero over the long-term, say 30+ years. I wrote this post to show how luck can cause a disparity between Decisions and Outcomes – a core investing concept.
Insider Info. Trading on insider info is illegal and unethical. Don't do it.
Indexed Funds Have Low Fees
Index funds simply buy the stocks that make up an underlying index. This is easy to manage, and can be done at massive scale. Both scale and ease of management result in low fees. You can see this through the tiny Management Expense Ratios (MER) of 0.03% to 0.2%.
Indexed Funds Limit Behavioral Errors
You are your greatest enemy when it comes to investing. Your behavioral biases can get in the way. Overconfidence, loss aversion, and herding are common and costly human biases. The less involved you are with your portfolio, the fewer errors you will make. This is why I love portfolio simplicity. I discuss common biases more closely in this post.
Indexed Funds Preserve Your Time
Indexed funds preserve your time – the most valuable thing you have. You'll spend less time managing your portfolio and more time living life.
You must keep up with the financials, industry developments and unique business risks for each stock (business) that you own. That's a lot of work. Multiply that work across 10+ companies, and stock selection quickly equates to having a second job or intense hobby.
Researching individual businesses and keeping up to date takes time. A ton of time. Most people, roughly 99% of us, don't have the time or passion to manage our own portfolios of individual stocks.
4. Failing to Preserve Contribution Room In Tax Sheltered Accounts
My Mistake
One of my largest mistakes was to invest in Options Contracts in my Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). For American's reading, the TFSA is similar to the Roth IRA.
I thought I could predict the market, a key form of overconfidence bias. At the time, I invested roughly 2% of my portfolio. The potential upside was huge. But the options expired worthless. I lost out on the future tax-free compounded returns that money could have provided.
I treat TFSA contribution room like gold. Money invested within the TFSA not only grows tax-free, but it can be withdrawn from the account tax-free. You can learn more about How the TFSA Works.
Opportunity Cost of Lost Contribution Room
I did not only lose $2,000. I also lost $2,000 worth of valuable tax-sheltered contribution room. I missed the opportunity to grow $2,000 tax free – an opportunity cost.
Over 30 years, at an 8% return, that $2,000 could have grown to $20,100. I could have sold for a tax-free gain of $18,100. Or, I could have used the $20,100 to pull $600 tax-free annually, forever, assuming a 3% sustainable withdrawal rate.
Lessons Learned
Making huge returns is great. And keeping your money is even better. The Richest Man in Babylon outlines seven personal finance rules from 4000 years ago. One such rule is to preserve your nest egg.
If you want to gamble in high-risk items, do so in your taxable account to preserve contribution room.
5. Trying to "Time" The Market
My Mistakes
Waiting for Valuations to Fall
I avoided exposure to technology stocks in the U.S. market over the years as I feared sky-high valuations. I was always concerned about the Shiller P/E ratio. But valuations kept rising as earnings routinely beat expectations. I missed out on some great gains.
Holding Excess Cash
In addition, I held roughly 15% cash in my investment accounts. This was cash in excess of my emergency fund. I didn't "need" this cash anytime in the next 10 years. I just wanted to be ready to take advantage of market dips.
By the time a crash actually came (COVID), I had lost more money by waiting than I would have lost during the crash. By holding excess cash, I missed out on the gains and dividends of the market. I invested all this extra cash at the bottom of the COVID crash, but I would have been better off if it was invested earlier.
Lessons Learned
Time in the market is more important than timing the market.
Consistent Savings and Investing
Most of us earn a steady income and have consistent expenses. When expenses are consistently lower than income, you can save and invest on a routine basis. Under this system you will naturally catch the highs and lows of the market over the course of decades. Most importantly, investing will become habitual.
Dollar Cost Averaging Vs. Lump Sum Investing
If you have a large sum of cash, and are concerned about a market crash, you can use Dollar Cost Averaging instead of lump sum. Studies show that sum investing outperforms DCA 60% to 70% of the time. If DCA gets you invested, it is a win, relative to holding cash.
I lost money due to these mistakes. But it was worth every penny. I consider the money lost as tuition. I'm glad the mistakes occurred in my early 20's when my portfolio value was relatively small.
Learn from your mistakes and move forward. Don't dwell on them, and don't repeat them. This is a difficult balance, and it is hard. Accepting and learning from our mistakes requires self-discipline, the key to building wealth.

There isn't per complete bunch on the internet site however a limited i have observed most have actually seen me personally to revealed some type of attention beside me. We have experienced couple a woman that have been most beautiful browsing it is avove the age of me personally. Single is 54. Therefore the some other 55. Showing the center.
The girl that is 55. I'd gotten the woman host plus as you go along, one thing occurred to my component I fixed things with her so I thought. I became feeling signs that are mixed this girl according to the girl vista at just what our communications mentioned. Everything this girl needs to have complete looks been a much better communicator as well as said what else this girl needs or perhaps expects after me personally still your never ever appears to take place.
This girl appears towards become to come as well as get from dating website. She'd deactivate the woman account therefore I couldn't reach get a hold of to see the girl. She'd come and also get through the website and then subsequently she's got become gone from the time. The lady who's forty-five. Is extremely looking that is stunning. We watched the girl for over only the woman appears.
It's the reality just how this girl provides proper care of this girl health insurance and this girl real health and exactly how awesome this girl attire and just how this girl cares on how this girl feels and looks up to by by herself. I've seen some more female being more youthful they take care of them selfs is what I love is the pride that a woman has than I find very attractive and very impressive looking but again it's how.
Considering many female which are not at it caliber exclusively search therefore quite lookin plus don't place or perhaps reveal your effort that is same. Just what male need certainly to grasp is when a lady of the stage needs to perform some equal. You cannot exclusively point a female considering she actually is really fascinating hunting.
You should be in a position to find out previous the lady seems. Women can be perhaps not stupid plus the enticing female recognize the reason why you're texting them. The situation for me personally is actually i actually do like that they're enticing hunting nevertheless the reasons we content consumers is much more related to i will be impressed with the way they care for their real health insurance and his or her health.
Nevertheless females have no idea my personal justification and I also obtain the feeling these presume we exclusive content since they're Attractive browsing after that's not a great deal your situation. I'm sure easily search for the beautiful enticing a woman we understand i will get the types of lady we like this attire just how i prefer inside a female like appose up to a lady about males presume aren't their kind they phone typical.
The dassumingficulty if we find are in Youtube they will have dating coaches as well as underneath the videos, it is mostly teenage boys creating responses concerning the ladies which are interesting stating that these exclusive worry about cash styles and also state. Anytime coaches that are dating attempting to inform them it is not the situation.
These presume that's the reason adult males is not receiving women that are attractive. Each relationship coaches to community tend to be glorifying females it hard for other women to get dates so it makes. I browse in a lady's profile in one other webpages it browse to some extent concerning the woman point exactly why is it your male are definitely exclusively opting for each model kinds? " I feel nearly all are heading out towards which form one she is Hot because they think.
There is certainly most in order to a lady underneath all of that dexterity. You must witness previous the girl seems I see No results which I do but. 1 issue we observe male need to the reason why adult males have always been perhaps not conference females is it: there is certtheinly a psychologist that is clinical Dr. Wendy Walsh who's upon KFI broadcast that is obsessed that dealing with relationship to relationships and also mentioned you ought to convey in order to a woman in any way that they need to feel safe and that you will not hurt them.
This girl said whether or not a female is significantly avove the age of a person. You may be always actually more powerful to this girl has to realize that you will not harm the woman. One good way to convey that's in the profile to some extent of one's point this states i shall phone to ensure like opening the do for a woman or that you will court her is one way to convey it that you make it home safe or I.
We have your attraction up to your far elder woman as well as way too much younger females your appearance old. However express an age is had by you number a lady can easily see and it also states 22-50 and then you appear such as for instance a creep for some female. Various web web web sites can easily see whatever more than consumers.
I purchthe bestsed a Guide reserve after the best man on the internet it is not hard to check out then makes use of while the man might e-mail me personally which help me personally among concerns or perhaps involves otherwise a nagging problems i'm suffering from. He previously wrong activities among internet dating and lastly determined just how to match striking female.
Thus far We have certainly not experienced whatever luck. I understand the thing I need inside a lady but also for regardless of what explanation the ladies i prefer never react. I prefer mthe bestintaining accurate documentation regarding the ladies who come then pass by having pictures of them. We inquire that man assisting me personally concerning the problems We ended up being suffering from about this in which he stated that he talks about what else images i would like. The feeling is got by me female hate that it whenever I have a look at them all.
I have to do this to ensure some one has been truthful beside me mainly because on a speak showcase they'd a dating internet site regarding in addition they believed to have a look at his or her fingertips towards witness whether they honeve a band in to point that they're married to provided it is a False picture. And also to observe whether they have tattoos or otherwise not. I do not rethelly want a female using tattoos.
An lady did once I hperve per better browse is the reason why i really do our and in addition as ladies lie up to how old they are. 1 girl experienced straight down which this girl is 44. And soon after presented this girl ended up being 48. I do not just like dishonesty in females once I'm to be truthful regarding that i will be since a person.
I must try this inside witness if you sites like adultspace should be lying or otherwise not. And also to obtperin a nearer glonence at a lady since it's difficult to judge a lady on the internet founded to their styles since when men and women satisfy one another that they bring disappointed due to the fact girl wasn't just what this girl appeared as if inside her pictures because because enticing since the girl images yourppeared or looked in order to a person.
Nearly all women create it tough mainly because an relationship mentor stated you need to placed what you need as part of an individual not really that which you do not want. Plus one lady an as part ofterest is experienced through me as part of penned what else this girl did not need as part of a person as opposed to things this girl needs as part of a person. It is unfavorable to causes it to be tricky on her to obtthe bestin a night out together.

There is a surge in the demand for cartoon animators in recent years. Advertising industries and cartoon films production centers need professional animators who can use their drawing skills with a set of advanced software to produce exciting cartoon shows, films and animated commercials. In this technique, specific frames are created by sketching or computer designing and they are used for creating animated movies without using any camera or real objects ever. There are different jobs and work profiles that are allocated to the team members creating animated cartoons.
The individual roles may vary from director, composer, story board artist, sound and visual experts and other cartoon animators. 3D animations are also becoming very popular due to the sheer appeal and visual quality they have. Specialized computer programs are used to create interesting 3D animations. To produce feature length cartoon films, hundreds of animators are required.
While seeking admission into an arts school, you might be asked to submit a portfolio of the work produced by you. This portfolio should highlight your creative skills and should be in a format that is desired by the arts school, you are seeking admission into. Fine arts program in animation cover all the required topics needed to learn computer graphics and animation techniques. Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is considered to be standard program for this. Internship with magazines and studios may also help you raise your employability.
A two year program in animation from a reputed arts and animation school will equip a candidate with character development, movement, modeling and 3D animation. The course will also train you to use popular animation software to create animation and other visual effects. The degree level course will include 3D animation software and applications such as 3DS Max (Autodesk), third party rendering options such as Brazil R/S, finalRender and V-Ray, AC3D (Inivis), Aladdin4D (DiscreetFX), "Animation:Master" and Bryce (DAZ Productions). Apart from it will also teach you life drawing, character modeling, design fundamentals, creating storyboards, advanced animation techniques and digital imaging.
The career options in animation and cartoon designs are varied and it depends on the level of expertise one possesses. The entry level positions are available with the animation studios for the fresh BFA pass outs. Some of the opportunities in this industry are to work as advertising graphic artist, graphic animator for manufacturing companies, 3D animator, animator for television, print media cartoonist, video game animator, production artist, internet cartoonist, special effects animator, and illustrator.
You can seek admission into a bachelor's degree program such as BFA or a certificate course from a reputed animation school in traditional animation, computer animation, graphic design and multimedia. To work at managerial levels such as art directors, you need to have a college degree in arts administration covering exhaustive syllabi in fine arts and animation.
You can go for a BFA degree from Jawaharlal Nehru architecture and Fine Arts University. Apart from it, some other reputed institutes are:

Robert Zubrin has provided more details and analysis of his new dipole drive to Centauri Dreams. The main new information is Zubrin describes the relative simplicity of building simple double sail systems.
* dipole drives are buildable to improve cubesat propulsion
* dipole drives could be used to move around the earth and moon and reduce fuel usage
* dipole could reduce trip times for space telescopes to gravitational lens points 500 AU away to less than ten years. This would be 2 to 5 times less than other gravitational lens missions.
* power beaming could further enhance dipole drive performance
Nextbigfuture covered Zubrin's propellantles space sail concept in May.
The dipole drive is made from two parallel screens, one charged positive, the other negative, creating an electric field between them with no significant field outside.
Solar wind protons entering the dipole drive field from the negative screen side are reflected out, with the angle of incidence equaling the angle of reflection. This provides lift if the screen is placed at an angle to the plasma wind.
If the screen is perpendicular to the solar wind, only drag is generated but the amount is double that of electric sail of the same area.
To accelerate within a magnetosphere, the positive screen is positioned forward in the direction of orbital motion. Ions entering are then propelled from the positive to the negative screen and then out beyond, while electrons are reflected. Protons are much more massive than the electrons, the thrust of the ion current is more than 42 times greater than the opposing electron thrust, providing net thrust.
Assuming near-term space power systems with about one kilogram per kilowatt, the dipole drive can achieve more than 6 mN/kWe in interplanetary space and better than 20 mN/kWe in Earth, Venus, Mars, or Jupiter orbit.
Power beaming could enable a more powerful dipole drive.
Aluminized Spectra or aluminized carbon fiber for dipole sails and building dipole sails
The deployment of large scoops composed of two parallel, oppositely charged meshes poses operational and design issues.
If there were two sails of 500 meters radius separated by 500 m with a 2 kV potential difference. Then the electric field between them will be 4 volts/meter.
The total electrostatic force of each sail will be 0.1 mN. This is about a tenth the thrust force exerted by the screens themselves. Nevertheless, as small as they are, both of these forces will need to be negated. This can be done either with structural supports or by rotating the spacecraft and using artificial gravity to hold the sails out perpendicular to the axis of rotation. An alternative is to use the self-repulsion of the charge of each sail to help hold it out flat. In such a configuration two sails held separate from each other by a boom
A critical issue is the material to be used to create the dipole drive. In his original paper on the classic electric sail, Pekka Janhunen suggested using copper wires with diameters between 2.5 and 10 microns. This is not an optimal choice, as copper has a much lower strength to mass ratio than aluminum, and such thin strands would be quite delicate. For this reason, in the above examples we specified aluminum wire with 100-micron diameters. A potentially much better option, however, might be to use aluminized Spectra, as spectra has about 10 times the yield strength of aluminum, and roughly 1/3 the density (Aluminum 40,000 psi, 2700 kg/m3, compared to Spectra 400,000 psi, 970 kg/m3.). Spectra strands with 100-micron diameters and a coating of 1 micron of aluminum could thus be a far superior material for dipole drive system, and classic electric sails as well. An issue however is Spectra's low melting point of 147 C. Kevlar, however, with a yield strength of 200,000 psi, a density of 1230 kg/m3, and a melting point of 500 C could provide a good compromise. Still another promising option might be aluminized strands made of high strength carbon fiber, such as the T1000G (924,000 psi, 1800 kg/m3) produced by Toray Carbon Fibers America.
Unlike magnetic sails and electric sails, it can generate both lift and drag, and its maximum velocity is not limited by the speed of the solar wind. Near-term dipole drives could be used to provide a reliable, low cost, low mass technology to enable propellantless movement of spacecraft from one orbit to another, to provide station keeping propulsion, or to deorbit satellites, as required.
A dipole drive could potentially reduce the mass of a manned lunar mission to within the launch capacity of a single Falcon Heavy. Because it needs no propellant, the dipole drive offers the unique advantage of being able to provide its propulsion service to any spacecraft indefinitely.

Glass makes everything look more attractive. This is true whether it is included in homes or offices. There are so many different modern-day applications for glass in either a house or a business. We will consider several of the more popular of these alongside a few of the lesser known ones in this article.
Residential Applications for Glass
The most obvious application for glass that comes to mind in a residential setting is generally for windows. While this may represent the greatest square footage of glass deployed in most homes, it is far from the only practical, useful, and desirable application for glass at home. Mirrors are a handy use for glass. Baths and showers are often enclosed by it in place of perishable shower curtains that inevitably tear up or become moldy and impossibly mildew-stained over time. Yet windows, mirrors, and bath or shower enclosures are only the more obvious glass applications in homes. Why not liven up a room with mirrored walls? Shelves can be made from boring wood or given flair by building them out of glass. Glass tabletops are a lovely addition to any family or dining room. These work especially well especially on coffee tables, end tables, or even dinner tables. Picture frames are often made from (and not only covered by) glass in an art deco modern day look.
Commercial Applications for Glass
Business offices also have a variety of good and practical applications for glass. Many a storefront catches the eye of passerby would-be customers because it is constructed from glass. This allows the curious onlooker to browse featured merchandise, advertising messages, or even to watch other clients in the store interacting with sales people. Storefront doors are often made entirely from glass. There are also some lesser known practical interior glass applications in offices too. Various door push and pull combinations can be made using glass. Dividing walls can be constructed using glass. These provide a more open feel and layout for any office space and allow for employees and customers to see each other and more appropriately and closely interact and collaborate. Walled off and stifling cubicles are so 20th century. These are all reasons for homes and offices in the Winter Haven, Florida area to seriously contemplate getting glass installation winter haven fl.
There really are few limits to the useful, attractive, and practical (not to mention affordable versus the costs of more expensive and bulky heavy metals) uses for glass these days. The strength and durability of glass means that it can outlast metal doors and walls with ease and minimal maintenance. Glass does not rust or get holes, for example. One can also use glass to beautify any home or office. It helps people (who are trapped indoors literally) to feel as if they are outside enjoying the beautiful, sunny day even while a person sits at a desk or in the office. This is especially positive for employee morale and productivity, both critical features of the modern-day workplaces. Once you see the handsome return on investment, you will be happy that you did.
