How Long Can Dried Ginseng Last? (Solved!)
Growing Guides / By John Stephens / October 21, 2021 August 3, 2022
Dried ginseng provides us with many health benefits. It's known for its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its high level of antioxidants. Dried ginseng can last up to five years or more, too. Ginseng is a hardy plant that has a lot to offer to help keep us healthy.
The ginseng plant fully matures at around five years. The roots, which is where dried ginseng comes from, live for centuries after that. In this article, we're looking at the shelf life of dried ginseng along with some other interesting facts about this plant. Keep reading to find out how long you can keep dried ginseng and what it can do for you.

Root Size
What Are the Benefits of Dried Ginseng?
Reduces Inflammation
Improves Cognitive Function
Helps Treat Erectile Dysfunction
Decreases Blood Sugar
How Do I Use Dried Ginseng?
Are There Any Side Effects to Taking Ginseng?
It's tricky to say how long you should store dried ginseng. The reason is, dried ginseng doesn't rot.
Most experts tell you not to keep it longer than about five years. It starts to lose some of its flavor and potency after that time.
Should you use dried ginseng that's older than five years, it's still ok. You just likely won't taste it as much or get the same health benefits from it as you would from more recently dried ginseng.
Ginseng must be stored in a dry environment. It's best to put dried roots in dark places, like pantries, cupboards, or drawers.
Several factors affect how long dried ginseng roots can last. There are others, but these are the most common.
Let's look closer at how each of these affects the shelf life of dried ginseng.
Store ginseng roots in a dry environment. They also must be properly dried before being placed in storage.
Moisture can bring about mold that causes a lot of damage to the roots. Even small amounts of moisture can wreak havoc on the stored root by causing negative chemical reactions.
Warm temperatures aren't good for storing ginseng roots. It's also not good when temperatures change too broadly.
Store the roots in colder temperatures to maximize their shelf life. Optimum temperatures are 40º F and below.
Light accelerates the degradation of ginseng roots. Store them in total darkness, if possible.
Pests are referred to this way because they cause trouble. Insects and rodents may destroy ginseng roots if they get access to them.
Store the roots in a secured area. Avoid placing them in large bins outside, in garages, or sheds.
Generally, the more surface area dried ginseng has, the longer its shelf life is. That means if you want the longest shelf life, store the roots whole.
You can store dried ginseng in slices or ground up, but the shelf life of these is much shorter than that of a whole root.
You don't have to store dried ginseng roots with no oxygen exposure, but it helps. Oxygen speeds up the degradation process.
One way to deprive ginseng of any oxygen is to vacuum seal the roots in a bag. You may extend the shelf life of the root up to five years by storing it this way.
Eastern medicine has used ginseng since ancient times. It comes in three main classifications–fresh, white, and red. The difference is in when the plants are harvested.
Many varieties exist, but the two most popular are Asian and American ginseng. They provide health benefits due to two important substances contained in the roots, gintonin and ginsenosides.
Read below for information about health benefits linked to taking ginseng supplements.
Studies have shown that dried ginseng helps reduce inflammation in people with eczema. It also helps reduce inflammation after exercise.
Dried ginseng contains powerful antioxidants that support healthy skin, healthy enzyme activity, and better stress management. These also give a boost to your immune system and help the body fight off infections.
Research links ginseng to boosts in energy levels. Polysaccharides and oligopeptides cause a reduction in oxidative stress, which in turn raises cellular energy production.
Dried ginseng is shown to reduce fatigue in studies with patients suffering from chronic fatigue. It's also been studied with cancer survivors and was shown to lessen fatigue.
Ginseng is linked to increased focus, better memory, and enhanced mood. It's also thought to provide protection from brain-damaging free radicals.
There's some question surrounding how ginseng improves brain function. Some argue that it helps stabilize blood sugar, which lessens mental fatigue allowing for better focus. Others believe it's the compounds found in ginseng themselves that make the difference.
Since ginseng reduces oxidative stress, it helps restore the blood vessels in the penis. That allows for better blood flow in and out.
Ginseng also supports the body's ability to produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps your muscles relax, which leads to better circulation of blood.
Ginseng boosts energy production in cells, including those of the pancreas. That means pancreatic cells work better for producing insulin and taking in blood sugar for use by tissues. This is beneficial to both people with and without diabetes.
Taking in dried ginseng is as simple as purchasing ginseng supplements at the store and taking it in capsule form. But there are other ways to get it, too.
Try using dried ginseng in the following ways.
Add some dried ginseng powder to your morning cup of coffee.
Mix dried ginseng powder into a breakfast smoothie or protein shake.
Put dried ginseng roots into any soup based in chicken broth.
Stir dried ginseng powder into brewing iced tea.
Add ginseng prongs in with whole coffee beans for grinding.
Occasional side effects include mild insomnia or nervousness. Taking too much ginseng can cause more significant symptoms, such as dizziness, headaches, or upset stomachs. If you experience any of these, stop taking ginseng.

Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Jaeger LeCoultre, Omega, Panerai, Spotlight / March 3, 2022
Spotlight: Luxury Watches for Men and Women That Break Gender Barriers
Valentine's Day is gone and so is your search for the perfect watch gift for your loved one. You see, luxury watches for men and women are a diverse class of objects that, over the years, have been allocated specific categories. The general idea is that 'men's watches' are supposed to be worn by men and 'women's watches' are supposed to be worn by women. The only problem with this is that things change and so do rules.
Luxury Watches that Break the Gender Barrier
This classification of men's and women's watches is gradually heading towards a cliff. As per recent trends and consumer activity, factors such as watch size are playing a less and less of a role in watch purchase. We have made a list of watches that prove exactly that. Here are some luxury watches that gender barriers in the luxury watch business will eventually be a thing of the past.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 34MM
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was launched in 1972 and its design was created by none other than Gerald Genta. The avant-garde designer drafted the watch's sketch in under a say. The watch is an icon as well as a milestone in the Swiss Haute Horlogerie world.
That being said, Audemars Piguet created quite a wave when it released a 34 mm version of the iconic timepiece in black ceramic. What would have been a women's watch size in any other era, is today considered a watch size that can also be worn by men. And in my honest opinion, it is rather crass to assume that all men have wide and broad wrists. Some also happen to have slender wrists and there is nothing wrong with that. The Royal Oak 34 mm is a wonderful timepiece that can be cherished by both men and women.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface
When we think of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, it's usually about the legacy that the watchmaker represents. But the Reverso Duoface overturns this stereotype right onto its head. The timepiece is what we refer to as hip. Two dials are better than one, and with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface, one can actually claim that for themselves. Both men and women can wear this timepiece and it looks just fine.
Omega Moonwatch Professional Co‑Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 42MM
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is one of the world's most popular tool watches. The timepiece has been part of all the six moon landings. Not just that, the legendary Omega chronograph is an immaculate representation of the watchmaker's pioneering spirit.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's come back on topic. The Omega Speedmaster is yet another timepiece that has begun to transcend the categorisation of watches as per gender. The 42 mm Moonwatch has regularly been touted as a men's watch but women seem to like it as well. The trend goes on to show that women watch buyers have started to show an inclination towards bigger watch sizes.
Cartier Santos Dumont
The Maison has delivered some truly stupendous timepieces over the years, and The Cartier Santos is a watch that proves that. The timepiece pairs masculinity, geometry, and simplicity just perfectly together. The watch offers a feminine vibe while retaining a certain amount of boldness that also makes it a fair choice for men. Not to mention, the Quartz mechanism is head turner too. The movement allows the brand to price the watch at an astoundingly affordable point.
Panerai Luminor Due 38MM
Panerai Luminior Due 38 is a fabulous timepiece that shares its heritage with timepieces such as the Luminor and the Radiomir. The watch was released back in 2018 and when it came out, people went a tad bit crazy. Panerai was never thought to make a watch that would make a watch under 40 mm. A 38 mm wide Panerai Luminor was a revelation that the watch world was not ready for back then. Today, both women and men wear this watch with confidence. The 38 mm size is kind of in the Goldilocks zone. It seems just perfect.

There are at least three dangerous trees standing near the cabin, and I finally cut them down for firewood and construction building materials, before they fall on their own and injure Cali, our Golden Retriever, or one of us. The huge sugar maple that stands over the bear/wolf crossing dam is one of the biggest and oldest on the property and it's been dead for a few years. The other tree was a yellow birch that I should have cut down last year when I first discovered it, with the iconic piece of chaga high up on the trunk. Ironically, soon after I cut these trees down, a wild storm blew through, spawning tornadoes east of here, and the potential for these trees to be blown over was high.

CTP Announces Relocation Plans for Transfer Center & Admin Offices
CHEYENNE – This week, the City of Cheyenne announced relocation plans for the Cheyenne Transit Program (CTP) transfer center and administration offices.
The estimated completion date is December of 2021. At the May 26th City Council Meeting, the Governing Body authorized the submission of an application to the Wyoming Department of Transportation for a Wyoming Bus and Bus Facilities Grant. The grant would be applied for the purchase of the new CTP facility. Additionally, the City is currently pursuing federal grant funding for the project. The estimated total project cost for the relocation is $1.3 million. A downtown bus stop location will remain active following relocation.
The relocation will move both the transfer center and administration offices from its current site at the Jack R. Spiker Parking Structure (322 W. Lincolnway) to 2400 E. Lincolnway. The proposed new site will be on the northside of E. Lincolnway, near Walgreens. This project is pending the approval of the Wyoming Bus and Bus Facilities Grant.
The Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) public process will be followed during this relocation process which includes public meetings and surveys for the surrounding population and CTP passengers. At this time, land-use change notifications to surrounding homes has been completed. Public meetings will be scheduled and announced at a later date.
For more information on the CTP, visit www.cheyennecity.org/252/Transit. Due to COVID-19, services remain available to all Cheyenne residents but are limited to single passenger paratransit services for essential trips.

COVID updates and information


NAV or Net Asset Value is the sum total of the market value of the units in a Mutual Fund. As Mutual funds collect money from investors and invest it in the securities market whose value changes daily, the NAV for that Mutual Fund varies daily too. The NAV of a particular Mutual Fund is declared at the end of a trading day in conformity with the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations.
1. What is a mutual fund NAV?
NAV is the denotation of the performance of a particular scheme of a Mutual Fund. The NAV is the representation of the price of per unit/ share of the mutual fund on a specific day and time. Any financial entity dealing with the concept of assets and liabilities will have a NAV.
2. How is NAV calculated?
A NAV is calculated by dividing the market value of the scheme by the total number of units in the scheme.
3. What is the formula to calculate NAV?
The market value of a particular Mutual Fund Scheme is Rs 1 Crores. The Mutual Fund has issued 10 Lakhs of units for a price of Rs 10 each. In this case, the NAV of per unit of the mutual fund scheme will be Rs 10 (1 Crore/10 Lakh).
The market value of security keeps fluctuating through the trading day. Hence the NAV of a Mutual Fund is calculated at the end of a trading day.
4. Does NAV affect your mutual fund investment?
A lower NAV does not imply that the Mutual Fund comes at a cheaper price. The NAV simply tells you the current price of per unit of a Mutual Fund. You should not confuse the NAV with the market price. The NAV is more of book value and it will always remain that. What matters when you choose a mutual fund investment is its performance and the quality of the portfolio.
5. What is the difference between NAV and Market Price?
Every company on the stock market has its share listed on the exchange. The market price of these share keeps fluctuating as per the market movements. NAV, on the other hand, is just the daily price of a unit in a mutual fund. The stock prices may go high or low depending on the demand, whereas a NAV is independent of such demand. The NAV cannot be over or undervalued.
6. Why NAV is important to know the performance of a fund?
If the NAV of a particular mutual fund is high, then it might indicate that the mutual fund has performed well. Yet you should take other factors into consideration while deciding on which mutual fund to buy. You need to look at parameters such as the fund performance, investment objective, Exit Load, Expense Ratio and also the total experience of your fund manager who will take the responsibility of investing your money in the right mutual fund.
You can use the NAV to get an idea of the holding in your portfolio. A NAV helps you see whether your fund is increasing or decreasing in value.
7. Does NAV matter while buying a mutual fund?
As mentioned above, when you decide to invest in a mutual fund you need to look at its performance and quality and other such important factors. Mutual funds with a low Net Asset Value or a high Net Asset Value will also have other underlying factors for such results. You need to make sure you take a holistic view and only then take a final decision.

Q: Piping Batch File output to a Python script I'm trying to write a python script (in windows) that runs a batch file and will take the command line output of that batch file as input. The batch file runs processes that I don't have access to and gives output based on whether those processes are successful. I'd like to take those messages from the batch file and use them in the python script. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this ?

A: import subprocess

output= subprocess.Popen(
    ("c:\\bin\\batch.bat", "an_argument", "another_argument"),
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout

for line in output:
    # do your work here

output.close()

Note that it's preferable to start your batch file with "@echo off".

A: Here is a sample python script that runs test.bat and displays the output:
import os

fh = os.popen("test.bat")
output = fh.read()
print "This is the output of test.bat:", output
fh.close()

Source of test.bat:
@echo off
echo "This is test.bat"

A: Try subprocess.Popen(). It allows you to redirect stdout and stderr to files.

Enlist "intercessors" who will commit to pray every day for those held captive, those who hold them captive, and those who abuse them. Also, "intercessors" should visit the locations at least once a week so they can pray on site with insight and be renewed in their fervent praying.
Enlist "interveners" who are believers who will commit to visit one time (usually Saturday) every month and typically visit several locations. It does not require as much time as it sounds because we do not get an answer to the door at some locations and not be allowed to enter others. When we are not allowed to make direct contact with those held captive, we pray and go…not become a nuisance. It is best if the "intervener" can commit to the same Saturday every month (every 1st or 2nd or whatever works). The need is to build consistency in contacts.
Enlist "informers" who will help develop educational materials and facilitate the distribution of those materials in neighborhoods, coffee shops, churches, etc.
Help generate funding that will provide materials as needed and counseling through Safe Haven Refuge. The counseling is not only for escapees from human trafficking but anyone who is abused (in any way) and who needs counseling but does not have insurance or the ability to pay for counseling.

Homeland Security personnel rules expected this month, says Ridge
Jason Peckenpaugh
By Jason Peckenpaugh
The Homeland Security Department likely will release rules outlining its new personnel system by the end of February, Secretary Tom Ridge told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee Monday.
In response to questions from Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, Ridge elaborated on the department's plans for a new personnel system. He said Homeland Security planned to gradually implement a pay-for-performance compensation system, beginning with a pilot program that would start near the end of fiscal 2005.
"I believe we are looking at a small pool of employees to test the system for a year, and an additional $2.5 million has been allocated for that," he said.
The system, to be outlined in rules published in the Federal Register, is the result of a nine-month process during which Homeland Security officials, staffers from the Office of Personnel Management and federal union leaders developed a set of options. The design team presented their findings to Ridge and OPM Director Kay Coles James in October.
All told, the Bush budget requests $133.5 million to implement the personnel system, including funds to train homeland security managers on how to use it. Ridge said few agencies have used a pay-for-performance system before.
"One of the challenges we've had is there is really no prototype for the government. We haven't been down that path before," he said.
Ridge added that the training funds would also be used to educate employees on how the new system works.

Home Dehradun India must get ready for challenges posed by AI: Malhotra
India must get ready for challenges posed by AI: Malhotra
Keynote Address at 'Valley of Words' Lit Fest
Dehradun, 15 Nov: Noted researcher and author Rajiv Malhotra said, today, that Artificial Intelligence (AI) was developing rapidly, but India and most of the world were yet to come to terms with it. Malhotra was delivering the keynote address at the inaugural session of the three day Valley of Words International Literature & Arts Festival being hosted at Hotel Madhuban, here, today. The keynote address was on the topic, "Civilisation in the age of Artificial Intelligence". The session was chaired by the chief inspiration behind the festival and senior IAS officer, Sanjeev Chopra. Malhotra said that a lot of work was being in the field of Artificial Intelligence and, according to most experts, up to 80-90 percent of the work being done by the humans as part of their jobs would be replaced by the computer devices using artificial intelligence. Therefore, artificial intelligence posed a huge challenge for the entire human civilisation and society. Unfortunately, in India, the governments and society were not even taking this challenge seriously and was not even willing to think about it. It is a subject that had not been adequately understood. Artificial Intelligence had a humble beginning but now was taking rapid strides. The US and China had taken a big lead over all other countries, Malhotra emphasised. Malhotra added, "Fifty years ago, when I was entering the computer science world, we were trying to make computers play chess, but the computers were not able to beat even the average level of chess players. Now, they easily beat even the best of the grandmasters." He added that immense progress had been achieved in the field of artificial intelligence, and it had, both, positive and negative aspects. Computers had now been taught to learn by themselves through a large number of examples, much in the fashion a child learnt about life through experience. Artificial intelligence was no more restricted to store and use merely what had been fed into the computers. He said that there were many aspects to the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence. On the positive side, it did offer many goodies like automated surgeries and other benefits. However, it had also the potential of huge social sector impacts not necessarily positive. It could be used much more destructively during wars by using drones, etc., and China was already into it. Besides this, it was bound to disrupt the societies and create a new category of haves and have-nots. With the artificial intelligence taking over, even more human jobs would be wiped out, and there would be a larger number of unemployed people. Unfortunately, the powerful companies treated nature and animals merely as property to be exploited. In addition, wealth and power would get concentrated in even fewer hands, while the poor would continue to get poorer still. These people would remain just consumers and not producers which would not be sustainable in the long run. This would create an unprecedented level of conflicts. Those who were technically qualified and had mastered technology would be the haves and the rest would just be have-nots. AI was poised to replace most of the jobs the youth currently were aspiring to get. He added that USA and China had 80 percent share of new technologies in it. India was nowhere in the picture which was sad because India had a cutting edge lead in the IT sector not long ago. Most Indian Tech giants ought to be ashamed of themselves. Despite having a clear cut lead in the field of IT, they had allowed China to take over. Most of the present Indian IT companies now depended on cheap skilled labour to get projects from the West. However, with most of the work set to be replaced by AI, there would be no need left for a cheap workforce which would be rendered jobless. But the companies were not readying themselves for the challenges that they would face in near future from AI led technology. AI would make a world where ability to read and write would no more remain the yardstick of education. Both, Indian and western civilisations were vulnerable to the dramatic change that was expected by way artificial intelligence. It was a paradoxical situation. One could say that the western civilisation and culture which were based more on consumerism would suffer more because a large section of consumers would be rendered jobless and thus would not be able to sustain as consumers without any corresponding income. Indian civilisation and culture traditionally was not materialistic in nature and had the ability to sustain with lesser consumption. However the Indian society was even then vulnerable because it had a very large population and therefore very high number of consumers. Without jobs and employment, it would suffer due to AI. India had a population of less than 300 million during British rule. It had since grown four-fold. Malhotra further said that the current Indian Government had launched some good initiatives like Make in India but this would not be adequate given the challenges posed in the near future due to rapidly changing technologies and AI. The Indian state needed to come to terms with the challenges posed by AI, and also needed to build a grand narrative of its own. Children in US, Japan, France and Russia were taught how exceptional their nations were, India also needed to look into its roots and meet the challenges in a more innovative manner.

Kelis: 'I almost quit music to become a chef'
Adam Adshead May 14, 2010 1:55 am BST
Singer admits she 'fell madly in love with the food and the lifestyle'
Kelis has revealed that she almost quit music to become a chef, after struggling to complete her last album.
The singer, who will release her new record 'Flesh Tone' on May 17, went to culinary school to train as a cordon bleu chef after making her last LP.
"I took four years off to have a little life between this album and my last album," Kelis told the Daily Record. "I studied to be a chef as a side thing, a little hobby that I enjoyed doing, but I ended up falling madly in love with the food and the lifestyle."
Explaining that the process of recording her 2006 album 'Kelis Was Here' "sucked the life out of [her]", the singer graduated from the course and now counts being a saucier chef as her speciality.
"I needed a break and going to culinary school turned a lightbulb on that I didn't have to make music," she said. "The people in the music business forget that not only is there an entire world of people out there who do not care what we do, we are not creating the wheel."

Le Petit Français Red 2014 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%). It is a product from a traditional fermentation of 3 weeks. Thanks to the temperature being controlled between 77 and 83 degrees, the result is a mellow extraction of tannins. The Pinot Noir grapes have been selected from one individual slope located on a southern bank facing the Mediterranean sea and its gentle breeze.

Protean And Brabus Partner For Hybrid Mercedes With In-Wheel Motors
By Ben Wojdyla
Ben Wojdyla
Protean Electric has displayed its latest technology demonstrator at the 2012 SAE World Congress in Detroit, a Mercedes-Benz E-class sporting a 2.2-liter turbodiesel, manual transmission, and Protean's electric motors mounted inside the rear wheels. The startup partnered with high-performance tuning house Brabus for the project, intended to show off the capabilities of their e-motor designs, and debuted the car in Frankfurt.
Protean has been developing in-wheel electric motors for several years, in spite of the fact that most automakers discarded the concept years ago. In-wheel motors offer the benefits of drastically improved vehicle packaging, simplified two-wheel or all-wheel-drive layouts, the option of through-the-road hybridization, more efficient regenerative braking, and the most direct wheel control possible. The drawback, however, is the weight. Unsprung weight is a major concern for chassis engineers and can dramatically influence tire motion—and by extension handling performance. With each motor weighing 31 kg, the rear suspension spring and damping rates must be adjusted to control wheel motion.
In the Brabus E-Class Hybrid, Protean engineers' biggest hurdle wasn't so much adding their motors, but rather integrating them to the rest of the vehicle systems and making everything play nice with the manual transmission. The motors each develop a maximum of 110 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, though that peak output is dependent on the power available from the onboard batteries. After some careful piggybacking atop the factory drive-by-wire system, the end result is effectively a power booster for the diesel motor. Zero to 60 mph comes in a shade under 7.4 seconds—not particularly Brabus-like, but decent for an aftermarket hybrid.
This being a demonstrator, there are definite plans for improvement. Engineer Tom Prucha notes "In the next generation, we'll have much more control over the powertrain and plan to run in all-electric mode." We're curious to see how they plan to do this with a manual transmission.

Readers, meet Sophie! Fashion stylist, mommy-extraordinare, and blogger at (formerly known as) Eenie Meenie Bambini, Sophie is also a former client of The Baby Sleep Site®. Recently, Sophie took the time to sit down and write out her sleep story – and she also took the time to film a short video for us!
Read on, and hear Sophie's compelling sleep story. Hear about her harrowing struggles to help her daughter Coco sleep. Hear about the toll that sleep deprivation took on her life. But not only that – learn how she got help. Learn the steps she took to reclaim her sleep (and her sanity!). And watch Sophie herself tell you about her experiences working with The Baby Sleep Site®!
Don't forget to scroll to the end of the excerpt, to watch the video and hear from Sophie herself!
crushing exhaustion on the inside, but having the "mother's energy" to still keep going strong with a smile on my face 80% of the time. However, my patience level was ice-thin, I was becoming increasingly emotionally vulnerable, and if you were to make me angry for any reason, I'd probably cry, while if you woke my sleeping baby, I was a ball of fury. I became very controlling about everything around Coco's sleep. I put so much effort into trying to make her sleep that I began to feel convinced that no one else could do it right, and if they did try to put her to sleep, they would do it differently than the book I was following at the time – and somehow that would mean taking a giant step backwards in her sleep training. We literally had a "no-go zone" once she was asleep because the lightest footstep would wake her up, and I'd lose my mind. As you can imagine, my relationship with my husband was not the easiest at this time, either.
I felt so alone in dealing with this – like no one quite understood the suffering I was experiencing. I kept saying to people, "You have no idea what happens when you have not slept more than 3 hours in a row for over a year; you really start to lose it slowly!" On top of all this, I was supposed to be running a household and having some semblance of a career. My husband was always supportive of my efforts; he never expected anything of me during this time, as he knew I had nothing left to give -no way was I putting dinner on the table!
We had moments where we took steps backward, if she got sick I would make the mistake of giving her bottles in the night to comfort her. Then I would have to start over again. We're not perfect but we try. The thing is once you know sleep deprivation like I do, it still haunts you. As much gratitude as you may have for a full nights sleep, the moment your little one wakes up on occasion your first instinct isn't 'aww poor baby what's the matter'- instead, I go back to the nightmare that it's starting all over again. I have to remind myself that tonight is just one night and she is growing up, there will be many normal nights of waking up to come. I am still exhausted every day but my levels have adjusted, and I am back to the old me again: happy, patient, fun loving mom and wife.

Pool area a little dated and position of a/c made cooling the room challenging.
The tv remote was difficult to get to work. The pool was dirty the key didn't work in our lock to three tries changing the key for it to work. Didn't work later at 10 at night when I came back and had to call her she was annoyed that we bothered her. Had a cocktail they were expensive and they hadn't turned the air conditioning on when it was 42 degrees.
Chairs in room though stylish are awakward for people with physical disabilities.


"Yes, Australian teams of the past have always had few words to say but it was always on the back of some good hostile bowling, you can't do without it. The fans have absolutely voted with their feet the last few years that we have had day-night Tests, we have been up for attendances", Bradshaw said.
"I just had an interview with Ricky Ponting and we went through the names of Australian Test captains over the years so it is a little bit daunting to be in a bracket with some of those guys". So, they are fresh and ready to go.
Opener Marcus Harris will make his global debut in the longest format for Australia having plundered over 4000 runs in 68 first-class matches.
The second Test at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, in 2001 was all about one of India's greatest comebacks, and is regarded among the most exciting matches of all time.
So how will the likes of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon quell the finest batsman on the planet? He notched his 23rd test century against England at last year's Boxing Day test in Melbourne. "They've always got Jadeja in their line-up as well who needs to have wickets that spin", Ponting said.
For Tim Paine's team, however, Thursday's opening delivery of the first test against India marks the start of a long summer job to win back the hearts of a sceptical public. "You want to bat on days when it's 40-odd degrees".
"There was a lot of frustration and negative emotions in me specially after losing 0-4 in Australia because it was my dream to retire on a high and I was not able to achieve that and I was shattered", he said.
When asked about targeting India's lone spinner R Ashwin in this match, he replied the game-plan is going to be quite similar for even the Indian batsmen. "I don't know the reason but it could be IPL, which helped to produce good fast bowlers", he added.
"I think he is a clever bowler, reads the batsman really well and if you see his recent bowling he has made a lot of adjustments which have helped him", said Pujara of Ashwin who has claimed Shaun Marsh four times.

Teaching with Star Wars: Leia's Leadership in Star Wars: A New Hope
Dan Zehr
The rebel princess could inspire, listen, and dive head-first into a garbage chute.
Looking for an activity that's fun, engaging, and educational? Each week, Teaching with Star Wars will offer unique lessons for you and your younglings that promise to foster opportunities for discovery and learning, all through the lens of a galaxy far, far away. And it sounds like the bell just rang, so let's head to the classroom now. Punch it, Chewie!
Leadership is not as easy as Princess Leia Organa makes it look. The senator from Alderaan frequently finds herself in situations that would overwhelm just about anyone, but Leia has an uncanny blend of inner strength, tenacity, and compassion that make her someone you want on your side. Whether she's escaping from the Death Star, encouraging a reluctant hero, or helping to get the plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, Princess Leia gets the job done like no other.
Among the many challenges of leadership is the fact that there is no "one size fits all" approach. What motivates one person will not work for the next. Leia gets that, probably better than anybody. And what sets her apart is her ability to discover how to bring out each respective person's best, while also furthering her mission of peace and justice in the galaxy.
Leia showcases distinct examples of leadership in Star Wars: A New Hope that beautifully encapsulate this. With Han Solo, for example, Leia has to push him along in the right direction. For all of his bravado, Han initially relies on luck and happenstance more than brains or planning. Once Luke Skywalker gets her out of her cell in the detention block, and the heroes are pinned down, it is Leia who takes a blaster and fires at a grate, enabling the discombobulated heroes to escape. In this instance, Leia is leading by example, and is being proactive, rather than reactive. She is not waiting for Han's approval, but rather, doing what is best for the whole.
With Luke, Leia points the way forward when his emotions get the better of him. Following their escape from the Death Star and return to the rebel base, Luke becomes saddened to learn that Han is going to leave the Rebellion when they need him the most. Leia wisely tells Luke, in an empathetic tone, that Han has to follow his own path. Because of this, Luke understands that he has to snap out of his doldrums, get into his own X-wing, and stop feeling sorry for himself. There is work to do that may ensure a major victory for the rebels against the evil Galactic Empire. Leia's willingness to pull Luke along with tact and grace help to make that happen.
Maybe the hardest part of leadership is not to micromanage. Leia is certainly more than capable of taking care of business, and shows this on multiple occasions. But sometimes it is best to sit back and trust the process. She does not try to convince Han to join the cause and chooses to stay with the rebel leaders as the Death Star attack commences. She could chase after him, and could easily pilot her own X-wing, but she is needed elsewhere. Leia trusts that the right people are in the right place, believes in the Force, and supports Luke and her friends.
All of these examples build trust, community, and unity, which make Leia an excellent leader. What examples of leadership has your Padawan seen at his or her school, on the athletic field, or elsewhere? Ask your child to think of examples of when they needed to be encouraged, empowered, or were trusted to do what they needed to do in order to accomplish their goals. These examples become contagious and, like Princess Leia did for others, help us to become our best.

The LG K20 Plus is a 4G LTE smartphone that comes with a 5.3-inch HD IPS In-Cell Touch display panel with a 1280x720 resolution and 277ppi index. Powering the device from within is a Quad-Core 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8917 processor with 2GB of RAM and the Adreno 308 GPU. Aside from its 32GB onboard storage configuration, the LG K20 Plus comes with a microSD card slot for up to 2000 GB memory expansion. Camera-wise, the phone is equipped with a 13MP camera on the back of the device along with a 1080p HD video recorder and another 5MP camera in front. Its removable 2,700 mAh battery helps it last up to 14 hours of talk time and 17 days in standby mode. Upon release, the phone runs on Android 7.0 Nougat OS and comes with a fingerprint sensor on the back.
The LG K series smartphones have an issue with the microphone app. Whenever the audio jack is in use, the microphone app malfunctions and repeatedly interrupts the audio. This is an ongoing problem with the K series and i am very disappointed that LG neglected to correct this minor issue that defeats half the purpose of having an audio jack. I have barely owned the phone for three days and the first fall from my lap to the floor shattered the phones screen. If you are looking for a quality phone, the LG K20 is not what youre looking for.

Quercus mongolica är en bokväxtart som beskrevs av Fisch. och Carl Friedrich von Ledebour. Quercus mongolica ingår i släktet ekar och familjen bokväxter.

Några exemplar kan bli 20 eller sällan 30 meter höga.

Arten förekommer i nordöstra Asien. Den hittas i östra Ryssland, östra Kina, Mongoliet, Japan och på Koreahalvön. Den växer i låglandet och i bergstrakter mellan 200 och 2500 meter över havet. Quercus mongolica introducerades i Europa. Arten kan ingå i lövskogar med lövträd som Acer pseudosieboldianum, Acer mono, Tilia amurensis eller olika askar samt i blandskogar med arter av tallsläktet. Quercus mongolica är vanligen ett av de talrikaste träden i dessa skogar.

Arten föredrar måttliga väderförhållanden men den kan uthärda regnrika somrar och kalla vintrar. Fröspridningen sker främst genom små däggdjur och fåglar som äter artens ekollon. I områden som tidvis saknade växtlighet är Quercus mongolica ett av de första träden som etablerar sig. Skogar med denna ek består vanligen i 300 år.

Utöver djuren som äter ekens ekollon förekommer andra djur som hjortar och vildsvin som äter andra delar av trädet.

Artens trä används bland annat för telefonmast, som stöd i gruvor, för båtar och för bildelar.

I olika delar av utbredningsområdet som i östra Ryssland är skogsbruket för intensivt för arten vad som minskar beståndet. Ibland sker skogsavverkningen illegal. Även trädfällning i naturskyddsområden är dokumenterad. I Kina sker skogsbruket på arten främst med planterade bestånd. Fortfarande är Quercus mongolica vanligt förekommande. IUCN listar arten som livskraftig (LC).

Underarter

Arten delas in i följande underarter:

 Q. m. crispula
 Q. m. mongolica

First things first, if you haven't watched the WWDC Keynote yet, check it out here – you'll absolutely love it. Lots of exciting announcements in there, especially in regards to Apple Pay and order ahead. LevelUp has supported Apple Pay (and Apple Wallet) in our platform since its launch. Now, we're getting ready to take that integration to the next level (get it?) with omnichannel support for Apple Pay.
With the improved integration, customers with your app will be able to use Apple Pay to pay when they order ahead or buy digital gift cards (already enabled in dozens of apps) and also when they pay in-store. The new in-store experience will retain the same "one touch" loyalty+payment interaction that has made LevelUp-powered apps so successful, but now that one touch will simply be an NFC pay+loyalty tap.
As with everything in technology, things that look simple (and are simple for the consumer) aren't necessarily quite as easy to implement. This integration is no exception. We've been working closely with the folks at Apple to get ready to deploy this more broadly for the LevelUp customer base and we're looking for a few beta partners to roll it out.
Your locations must have NFC enabled Verifone or Ingenico terminal.
Your terminals must be upgraded (or have come with) the VAS (Value Added Services) package.
Your point-of-sale must be using the latest LevelUp API.
You have to be willing to put up with a few bugs as we roll this out together. It's quite new!
If you're interested in learning more, please reach out to your LevelUp account manager. We're only accepting a few beta partners for the moment, but we will roll this out more broadly over time.

In 2015 art collector Maurice Verbaet opened his Art Center in Antwerp, located in the 1965 postmodern building that was once housed the Antwerp Water Board. Its beautiful architecture perfectly complements the late 20th century art that Verbaet shows in his gallery. Together with his wife Caroline, Maurice Verbaet has been collecting art since his twenties. Right from the start, they were especially interested in 20th century Belgian art. After presenting their collection for the first time in 2012, Verbaet decided to sell the majority of his artworks and started to concentrate on Belgian art from 1945 to 1975.
At the moment two exhibitions are being held in the Gallery.
Black and white brings nine different artists together: André Willequet, Tapta, Michaël Matthys, Lukasz Kurzatkowski, Pawel Czermak, Hugo Claus, Vic Gentils, Albert Rubens and Jan Saverys.
It shows a great diversity in materials, shapes and styles, with the focus on color and how we interpret it. The second exhibition is an unmissable retrospective of the Belgian painter René Guiette. In spite of the fact that the artist was internationally renowned, no Belgian museum has ever shown his work before. His post-cubist work often has connections with Art Brut, a movement that is considered outsider art. Guiette used traditional paints, but also liked to combine these with other materials such as sand and paper. The retrospective shows an extensive part of his oeuvre, combined with poems by his brother Robert Guiette.
Verbaet also hopes to show Guiette's work in France, and put this forgotten artist firmly in the spotlight.

How Auburn is impacting the world; at home and abroad.
This is the final command that Jesus gave his disciples before ascending into heaven. Much of the world, even today, has never heard of Jesus or His sacrifice on the cross. Without knowing the Good News, this world is lost and without hope, for it is only through faith in Christ that a person is saved. Jesus has commanded his followers to go out into the world, both near and far, in order to teach the Gospel.
At Auburn Baptist Church, we realize that God could have used any method to spread the Gospel around the world, but we consider ourselves blessed and honored that He has chosen to use His people to accomplish this task. Our desire is to minister to people's spiritual and physical needs while spreading the Gospel. This has led us to both local and foreign mission sites, but at all sites and in all situations, we wish to demonstrate to people God's love.

Channel some bohemian vibes with our beautiful White Native American Style Headdress that features handpicked 100% authentic shells on the forehead!
The precious, long feathers add some extra drama to the headdress which also comes with cream-colored beadwork and white fur details.
But the true eye-catcher are the natural colored shells that were stitched on the leather forehead band giving the feather headdress an instant gypsy touch.
To add a splash of color, why not wear our bohemian headdress with our yellow-turquoise necklace like our model here?


Top Tip One: Evening Dress is compulsory (unless you're following in the footsteps of William Robinson aka Chung Ling Soo).
FOR SALE. Evening Dress Suit, with extra white vest. 5ft 10in. in height, medium build. New condition. Price £2. Two Opera Hats. Good second hand condition. 3/6 each.
Various small effects for sale or exchange.
Top Tip Two: Don't expect to become rich and famous too soon, freebie shows can get you started.
Mr. Oswald Williams is an Englishman. He was born in London 1880. He is the son of a Church of England Clergyman, and the Grandson of the late Mr. Walter Lacy, the one time famous actor. His original profession was that of an Architect.
of all the trouble. My dear old dad bought it to amuse the children with, but I was fascinated, and my father had no rest until he had handed it over to me. I mastered every one of those tricks and took a positive delight in mystifying people, with the result that for thirty years I may be said to have lived a life of deception.
consisted of tricks with flags, cards, billiard balls, coins, etc, and concluded with an exhibition of hand shadows. It lasted nearly one hour. I can say with pardonable pride that it was not bad. I received no fee and was engaged to give another performance the next month upon the same terms.
Keep an eye on the job ads, you never know where your big break will come from.
Wanted an Expert Illusionist.- Four weeks' engagement offered to Professional illusionist to open 25th November, four day's rehearsal must be given. Reply immediately with full particulars to Mr. Will Goldston, Gamage Hall of Illusions, Holborn, London, E.C.
Top Tip Four: Don't mess up!
DON'T perform a trick before you have thoroughly mastered it. A trick badly preformed spoils twenty good ones.
DON'T forget to talk. Besides diverting attention when making secret "passes," it adds greatly to the success of a trick.
DON'T, if you are only a beginner, purchase a large and complicated trick. A small trick neatly preformed is far superior to a big one which is likely to be detected.
DON'T tell your audience what you are about to do. If so, they will know what is coming, and very probably spot the secret.
DON'T let the audience sit around you. See that they sit in a straight line in front of you, or they will see too much.
DON'T omit the use of the Magic Wand. Besides adding to the magical effect, it greatly helps to conceal an article when palmed.
DON'T forget to practice palming with coins, cards, balls, etc. If you practice constantly, you will in time become quite skillful.
Always practice before a glass.
"CREMATION" ILLUSION (Optical). Quite portable and in perfect working order; very showy. Cost £30 to build. Will sell for half, or exchange for levitation or other good illusion not requiring traps. MANEK-SHAW, c/o Performer, 18, Charing Cross Road, London.

Empath Awakening
How to Stop Absorbing Pain, Stress, and Negative Energy from Others and Start Healing
Highly sensitive people can not only detect, but actually feel the emotions of people around them, and this often leaves them helplessly vulnerable to harsh, unwanted emotional experiences and even danger if they don't know how to defend against it. This unchecked exposure can result in disorienting mood swings or simply having a strong desire to spend time alone. But escaping the crowd is not always the real solution to dodging these emotions or, even worse, the empath's worst enemy: the narcissist.

Excellent approach for me to eatablish a new habit
By christie on 13-06-2020
You're in a relationship. But sometimes, you feel alone. Sometimes, you worry your partner is only "putting up" with you. These are just two of the common warning signs that you are in a relationship with a narcissist, and they should never be ignored.
You may also find your partner to be very controlling, down to what you wear or eat. You may feel like you're walking on eggshells around them, not comfortable or at ease (this is a big one). If this is the case, it's possible that you may be suffering from narcissistic abuse syndrome.
Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward recovery: seeking the truth.
Informing and arming yourself with knowledge is all too critical for those suffering under a narcissist because, as you may have observed, the narcissist will often assert their reality onto you. This can cloud your judgment and make it easy to forget what is normal and healthy behavior.
Take a deep breath. If you feel guilty or at fault, it's only the narcissist's voice talking in your head. The sole purpose of this book is to unravel that web that the narcissist has spun so that you can have a clear vision of the condition and take the steps to heal from any trauma that has occurred and prevent it from happening all over again.
In this audiobook, you'll discover:
The six warning signs of narcissistic abuse syndrome you need to know
An easy trick to spot a narcissist quickly and effortlessly
Indefensible weapons to disarm the covert narcissist
The number one most powerful tool for healing from narcissistic abuse
Recovery methods for the narcissists in your family, including narcissistic mothers
Don't let a narcissist convince you that nothing is wrong. Even if you feel like there is no hope, or you've tried and failed in the past, you can begin your journey to recovery and to the person that will treat you the way you want, right now.

What listeners say about Invisible Abuse
Great Self Care Book
This was a really great book that helps a person look within. The author Kara Lawrence helps you find what you really need to help deal with some issues that have been bothering you for a long time. The narration by Ms. Boiesan was very well done and the audio production was crisp and clear throughout the entire book. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a book to help find some clarity in their lives.
The whole picture
I love that this book really is A-Z. It takes you from the very beginning (identifying a narcissist) all the way past that relationship, through recovery, and into a healthier state. There are lots of resources that just basically get you through a relationship and leave you right where you were when you entered it. I like that this one is really about specific solutions. It includes even specific things to say to your narcissist in certain situations, to disarm their manipulation. I also loved the chapter on mothers. Most books like this focus on only romantic relationships but honestly many of our patterns and attractions are formed in childhood, in our families, so I think re-framing this is invaluable.

Monroe's confirmed COVID-19 cases at 4, social distancing efforts continue
By Bill Bittar | March 26, 2020
MONROE, Conn. — Monroe now has four confirmed COVID-19 cases. While First Selectman Ken Kellogg continues to post regular updates on the town website, he is reserving town-wide alert systems like CodeRed for major emergencies and directives during the global pandemic.
"We should expect the number is going to go up. It's in Fairfield County," he said of local cases Thursday. "It just reinforces that we should do our part in social distancing. Obviously, if there were some dramatic change in the number of cases, I would inform the town, but otherwise, I will update the website."
According to the last update Kellogg made on the town's website, as of this Thursday evening, there are 1,012 cases in Connecticut and 607 in Fairfield County.
Since Town Hall was closed for routine access by the public last Friday, a drop off mailbox was placed in the lobby of the Monroe Police Department to allow people to deliver letters and documents to town departments.
On Thursday afternoon, Stephen Wolf, who is in charged of maintaining the town's buildings, secured the mailbox in place.
"It's working well," said Richard Schultz, the town planner, adding it the mailbox was in place for two days.
Inside Town Hall, Kellogg said employees have been practicing social distancing, allowing one person into an office at a time and putting tape on the floor to mark off six feet, so they know where to stand.
Remote Board of Finance meeting
Tonight, the Board of Finance's budget workshop will be held remotely via GoToMeeting.
It starts at 6 p.m. and the public can access it, in audio only, using a computer, tablet or smartphone. Click on this link or dial in by calling 1-872-240-3212 and entering the access code: 956-642-173.
The total $91.5 million town budget proposal for fiscal year 2020-21 carries a projected 2.6 percent tax increase. It includes $59.5 million for education and $31.9 million for town services.
Currently, the proposal represents a 4.01 percent spending increase for Monroe's schools and 0.6 percent for town services.
There will be no budget referendum this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Gov. Ned Lamont issued an executive order requiring a municipality's "budget-making authority," in Monroe's case the Board of Finance, to adopt a final budget and set the tax rate.
Board of Finance Chairman Michael Manjos and Kellogg said the board will accept public input throughout the process.
Neighbors share concerns over EMS building project
Town officials invited neighboring residents to a meeting at the Monroe Volunteer Emergency Management headquarters at 54 Jockey Hollow Road Wednesday night to hear their concerns about the building's renovation and addition project, answer questions and give tours of the facility. Nichole and Kermit Bierut, of Jockey Hollow Road, were among the nine residents in attendance.


During #TBEX, the Travel Bloggers Expo in Dublin this year, I took two taxis. One driver was thrilled to talk and the other was rather shy. This account is from the first. I considered walking but it was dark and rainy.
Driver: Where ya from? What are you doing here? How long are you here?
Me: Near Boston. I'm going to a travel bloggers conference.
D: I love Boston. I've been there a lot. I have family there (of course) and I've been for the marathon.
M: (In my head: judging him because he looks like he has never run anywhere) You've been to the marathon? To run or to watch?
D: To run of course. A couple of times. I've done New York City too.
M: Wow, that is impressive. Those are not easy marathons.
D: Not at all. I was younger back then, in the 80s and 90s, and we had a great running group. We used to get the whole group to go over. We used to stay in that hotel near the finish line. Park something?
M: Did you have to qualify at that time or do the charity run?
D: I qualified but it is much harder nowadays. Most people try to get a charity number because they can't qualify.
M: I have a friend who ran it that way. She had to raise a lot but she did it in spades and had a great time.
D: That's lovely. It's too bad about the bombing this year. I hope people will come back and run it again next year.
M: So what should I do around here that is more local, not touristy. I've done a lot of the touristy type things.
D: Ever been to Cobblestone pub? Go to Cobblestone pub. It's grand.
M: I'll have to check it out. We have a lot of events for this conference but it sounds good.
D: What kind of conference is this again?
M: Travel bloggers, people who travel around experience things and write about them online and share tips for different locations.
D: Oh right. I get ya. Must be a good conference if they are sending you to the Guinness Factory for an opening party.
M: I'm not sure, I've never been before. This is my first time attending.
D: Ya, this looks pretty wild. Enjoy!
D: I'll tell the guys to come here later to pick you all up.
