Because the tiny features of your newborn will only be tiny for a very short while. You will want to remember every perfect detail of your baby and how little they looked in your arms. This is a customized full session with multiple sets and various poses. Newborn portraits are typically done within the first 10 days of life and are often booked 2 - 3 months before due date.
- A beautiful Storybook box customized with baby’s name and birth date to protect and save your USB and prints.
This session takes place within the first 48 hours after birth, during daylight hours. A great choice for those who may not be comfortable with birth photography, but who would like to document everything about their fresh, new baby. No props for this session. The goal is to capture candid, minimally posed interactions at the place of baby’s birth (hospital, birthing center, home). Also a terrific way to capture siblings and other family members who are meeting baby for the first time.
Watch as your little one completes a full year of important milestones and end the year with a celebratory Cake Smash! Capture the tiny details of your baby as a newborn, the sweet smiles and personality of baby at six months when he or she can sit up, and the curiosity and energy of your one year old. These are milestones worthy of beautiful keepsakes. Save $290 by purchasing this package over purchasing three separate sessions.
A pregnancy is by far the most cherished and defining moment in a woman’s life. An elegant, timeless maternity portrait is an amazing visual example for your child that models the confidence you wish for them. Clients often book during their first or second trimester to ensure availability. The 35-36 week mark is an optimal time for a maternity session (sooner if you are having twins).
The perfect package to take care of documenting your unique belly and pregnancy glow, along with the Newborn Legacy session for the new baby. Clients are often glad they take care of everything before baby arrives and this package makes it easy. Your dates are penciled in and confirmed once baby makes his grand entrance.
Commemorate important milestones as your child grows. Year 2 through the tween years in a child’s life are often photographically overlooked. Milestone sessions can be a great way to document their rapidly changing faces, likes and styles. Completely customizable to your child 2 years old and up and what they are into at the moment. Clients are encouraged to bring props such as favorite toys, lovies, instruments, etc. or anything that is meaningful to their child.
save your USB and prints.
Let there be cake! What a wonderful way to celebrate your little one’s very first birthday! It’s a time when baby can play with new tastes and textures. Many times it’s the parents who have more fun watching their baby get messy.
A unique, fun and interactive photo session best for children ages 1 - 4 years of age. Your little one will paint using non-toxic, washable finger paints on a 12x12 canvas. They have fun painting and getting messy, you get to take home the little masterpiece he or she created, and I get the honor of capturing all the fun!
A fun and interactive family session to highlight the uniqueness of your family unit. Experience an adventurous lightly posed outdoor adventure, or for smaller families (up to 4 persons), an in-studio more traditional classic portrait is a great way to capture how amazing your family is at that moment in time. Pets welcome! Please inquire about pricing for large or multiple families.
Hassle-free for businesses with new employees seeking to update their website or marketing media. In-studio appointments are available too for those with less than 3 persons to be photographed. However, on-location headshots at your place of business (3 or more persons) are great because employees do not have to leave the premises, it requires a minimal amount of time and space, and the turnaround time is reasonable. A travel fee may apply.
Refresh your social media photo to reflect your professionalism with a more casual look. Can be outdoors with a city or nature background or in-studio on a more traditional backdrop.

Earlier this year, the High Court in Cardiff made a substantial award to a woman who had made a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. The case of Thompson v. Raggett shows that the Courts will go a long way to award reasonable provision, including giving a Claimant a house, even where the Claimant and the deceased were not married.
Joan Thompson and Wynford Hodge lived together on a farm and caravan park in Pembrokeshire. Joan and one of her children had moved into a caravan at the farm in the late 1970s. Shortly afterwards, she moved into the farmhouse with Mr Hodge. She worked on the farm and caravan site without being paid, and she helped to care for Mr Hodge’s mother in the last 2 or 3 years of her life.
As she grew older, Joan did not enjoy good health. She had a serious stroke and then heart attacks. Mr Hodge had prostate cancer, and the 2 were carers for each other. When their mobility became less, the couple moved into a caravan near to the farmhouse. Before he died, Mr Hodge bought a cottage with a view to moving into it with Joan, but in the event he did not live long enough for that to happen.
Mr Hodge died on 19 December 2016 and he gave his entire estate, valued at just over £1.5 million, to 2 of his tenants. He gave nothing to Joan even though they had lived as man and wife for 42 years.
“I do not want Joan or her children to inherit from my estate...I no longer want to leave my residuary estate on trust to pay the income to Joan for her life as this would be a substantial sum and I do not believe she will need it. Also due to Joan’s health I believe she would not be able to live in my property independently. I am Joan’s main carer and envisage she may have to go in to a home following my death. I confirm Joan has her own finances and is financially comfortable. Joan has her own money and her own savings."
In Mr Hodge's estate were the house occupied by the tenants to whom he had given his estate worth £343,000, the farm and caravan park at £545,000, an adjoining bungalow at £157,000, a cottage worth £225,000, a small parcel of land worth £5000, farm machinery and vehicles at £62,625 and savings and liquid assets of £168,000.
Joan was 79 years old. She received a state pension and disability living allowance totalling £1,114 per month. She had savings of just £2,500.
"This lady retains sufficient medical health not to require the facilities of a nursing home. She is certainly fit enough to reside in private accommodation... It is in her best interests that she does retain as much independence as possible".
The beneficiaries of Mr Hodge’s Will were tenants of one of his properties. The Court found that Mr Hodge had assumed little if any responsibility towards them during his lifetime.
Where a couple cohabit but are not married, a claim can be made for reasonable provision under the 1975 Act. The tenants conceded that the Will did not make reasonable provision for Joan.
That being the case, the Court could order such financial provision as it would be reasonable for Joan to receive for her maintenance but could not, under the rules, award capital since she and Mr Hodge were not married.
The Court could make provision for housing for Joan, but in the recent case of Ilott v. The Blue Cross, the Supreme Court observed that "if housing is provided by way of maintenance, it is likely more often to be provided by…a life interest than by a capital sum." Often, therefore, a Court will lean towards giving a Claimant a life interest in a property rather than awarding it to them outright.
In Joan’s case, however, the Court decided that it was reasonable to award her accommodation in which the tenants had no future interest. That approach was likely to help all concerned to move on from the litigation, and would enable Joan to take decisions relating to her home, such as making structural alterations or raising money on it, without needing to seek permission from anyone else.
Though the Court did not say so, it may also have thought that Joan’s son (with whom she had recently been reconciled) and daughter-in-law would be more likely to stick around and care for Joan if they thought that they might inherit the cottage when she died.
The Court therefore awarded Joan the cottage outright.
The Court also awarded Joan £10,000 to make adjustments to the property to cater for her disability, £5,000 to cover Joan’s costs of moving in, £28,844.68 for furniture and adaptations, and finally £160,000 for future costs and expenses, including care and holidays.
This case provides helpful confirmation that even where couples were not married, the Court can go a long way towards awarding the Claimant capital and assets. Although the Court’s award should provide for the Claimant’s maintenance only, the Court can if the case justifies it make an award of maintenance comprising both ownership of a house to provide for accommodation and also a significant cash sum.

The PBS special on the US war in Vietnam documents how US leaders already knew in the early ‘60s that the war could not "succeed." Yet for a dozen more years, they continued to fuel the carnage in Vietnam and send American men into the meat-grinder. Why?
We are told this explains the violent deaths of three-and-one-half million Vietnamese, Americans, Cambodians and Laotians over twenty years. And we are meant to sigh deeply and reflect mournfully on the wretched brokenness and complexity of life.
This is the empire’s Kool-Aid, dear friends; for the sake of your soul, don’t drink it.
The 1954 Geneva Accords ended the Vietnamese war of independence and legitimized the state of Vietnam. Though the Accords divided Vietnam temporarily into “North” and “South,” all parties agreed that prompt elections would establish a single government, which Ho Chi Minh was likely to lead.
The US endorsed the Accords, but immediately subverted them with fear-inducing propaganda designed to send Catholic Vietnamese fleeing to the south. The CIA selected Ngo Dinh Diem as their guy in the south, arranged for him to win a rigged election with over 98 percent of the vote and then began constructing a new state that would be compliant with the empire’s interests. The nationwide election never occurred.
This is why John F. Kennedy, speaking as a senator in the late ‘50s, spoke truthfully when he said, “South Vietnam is our off-spring.” It would never have existed on the face of the earth but for the CIA’s deceitful manipulation.
We must remember this history. The “civil war” was manufactured by the CIA. Three-and-one-half million people died to mask US imperialism and enable us to continue thinking of America as a “decent” nation. The PBS documentary perpetuates this falsehood.
I highly recommend “America’s Amnesia” by Thomas A. Bass for a deeper look. Also Peter Van Buren's "No Profile in Courage" and Andrew Bacevich's "Past All Reason."
US Military Support for ISIS?
The images also appear to confirm recent Russian allegations that US proxy forces (the Syria Democratic Forces (SDF)) are moving rapidly through ISIS-held eastern Syria without facing any resistance from ISIS. In other words, ISIS and forces supported by the US are cooperating in eastern Syria; they are not fighting each other.
Earlier in September, a Russian Defense Ministry spokesman accused the SDF of collusion with ISIS terrorists. Yesterday’s report is the first time the Russian Ministry of Defense publicly suggested US Army Special Forces also are colluding with ISIS.
According to Adam Garrie at The Duran.com, in recent weeks various sources in Syria have reported that US military helicopters are being used to airlift known ISIS commanders to safety as the Syrian Arab Army advanced on the former ISIS stronghold of Deir ez-Zor. The Russian aerial photos will buttress those claims. The images also will fuel the claim that via its proxies, the US is about to grab Syria's oil fields in eastern Syria.
Also on Sunday, a lieutenant-general of the Russian armed forces was killed near Deir ez-Zor when the Syrian Arab Army unit he was advising was hit by shells fired by ISIS militants. The dead officer is the highest ranking Russian to have died in the war to date. Given the apparent collaboration between ISIS and US Army Special Forces, it is likely Russia will regard this as a targeted killing facilitated by US surveillance, perhaps in retaliation for Russia’s release of the incriminating aerial photographs earlier in the day.
President Trump has said the US has stopped supporting the Salafist fighters in Syria, but that is obviously not the case. Stay tuned.
It’s time to educate ourselves about the Rohingya, a Muslim minority of just over one million living in Rakhine—the northwest, seaside province of Myanmar (formerly Burma) adjoining Bangladesh. The suffering of the Rohingya has become high-profile “news” in mainstream media, which is a sure sign that the US-led empire has major agenda in store for Myanmar.
Reportedly 2,000 Rohingya have been killed in the last 12 months by Myanmar government forces engaged in village burnings and other provocations designed to induce flight. As a result, around half of the Rohingya population is displaced with most going across the border to Bangladesh.
The Rohingya have long been an oppressed minority in Myanmar. But the violence against them by Myanmar government officials has surged since October, 2016 attacks on law enforcement and border agents by a Salafist extremist group called the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA, formerly known as Harakah al-Yaqi) resulted in the deaths of thirteen security personnel. Another seventeen law enforcement personnel were killed last November. The most recent spate of coordinated attacks by ARSA —on August 25—targeted 26 security posts and resulted in the deaths of nine border agents and police.
ARSA is reportedly directed by a leadership cadre located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. ARSA fighters are led and trained by veterans of Salafist militias active in Syria or Afghanistan. Funding links to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan also have been reported.
Indigenous Muslim groups within Myanmar reportedly have denounced the activities of ARSA.
Thus, it appears outside-funded Salafist violence has been injected into a situation of injustice and strife in Myanmar, thereby tipping it into a crisis. Outsiders are likely to exploit this “crisis” to justify humanitarian and military interventions.
Meanwhile, according to a report issued by the U.S. Institute for Peace, during recent years the US government has been actively involved in grassroots political efforts in Myanmar to shape the content and direction of its government. Indeed, one report suggests the current government is largely a creation of Western funding and organization.
Where this is going remains unclear. In general, however, the pattern resembles the way Salafist violence funded by US allies was used by the US to justify its intervention in Syria to oppose that same violence. There the US and its allies have played both sides of the war and the Syrian people have been mere pawns in the deadly imperial game.
October 29 update: In "Shifting Blame as US Agenda Unfolds in Myanmar," Tony Cartalucci reports on how the US government is setting up its plan to establish a US military presence in Myanmar by minimizing the role of the US-installed government of Myanmar (led by Aung San Suu Kyi) and pinning the blame for oppression of the Rohingya on Myanmar's military.
How does one finish that sentence? So many possibilities come to mind. My favorite is this: the problem with Trump is that he persuades us Trump is the problem.
Yet we dare not define bellicose President Trump as the problem. He is simply another US president, relying on his military leaders for direction and determined to retain the imperial privileges and power of the global elite, many of whom are Americans.
Need convincing? Consider this: last week the US House approved a $696 billion Pentagon budget for FFY 2018, a 12 percent jump from the current budget and much more than President Trump requested. It’s $91 billion more than allowed by the 2011 Budget Control Act; so much for budget discipline! And the increase alone is larger than the entire Russian military budget.
The American foreign policy we see portrayed by the President’s remarks at the United Nations is not some maverick aberration concocted by Trump’s deranged mind; it’s the real deal and in basic continuity with the foreign policies of predecessors Obama and Bush. So it won’t do for you and me to be anti-Trump; we must be firmly and clearly anti-imperialist, both now and in the years to come.
This month the CIA is 70 years old. Begun by President Truman shortly after the end of World War 2, it has been the devil’s right-hand ever since.
You think that’s an exaggeration? Douglas Valentine has authored a new book, THE CIA: 70 YEARS OF ORGANIZED CRIME. Lars Schall interviews Valentine for Counterpunch. Please, read the interview. We dare not go on living in the dark.

Loss of income is one of the major causes of bankruptcy in America, not to mention, bankruptcies in Texas. If you become unemployed and can’t afford your current living expenses or debt obligations, bankruptcy can offer solutions to keep your property and discharge unsecured debts. Deciding which type of bankruptcy you qualify for, however, will depend on a number of factors including how long you’ve been unemployed, your income, and the amount of property that you own.
To file Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy, there is no requirement to be employed, however, if you have received any income through a job, unemployment benefits, or investment income, the bankruptcy courts do take this into account. In order to formulate your current income, US Bankruptcy Courts use your average earnings of the 6 months directly prior to filing your bankruptcy paperwork.
In order to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you must first fill out a means test form which compares your prior 6-month average income with the mean average income in your bankruptcy district. If it is too high, based on leaving a high-income job, you won’t qualify for Chapter 7. In Chapter 13 cases, alternatively, you must have a form of income in which to fund the repayment plan. Therefore, filing for bankruptcy while unemployed involves a solid bankruptcy strategy in which the timing of the bankruptcy case is taken into account.
In some instances, an individual will file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Texas, only to receive an employment offer afterward. It’s important to ensure that actually make it through the entire employment process before revising your bankruptcy plan or asking to have it dismissed. While you can’t be fired for filing bankruptcy, if your prospective company has standard credit checks as part of its normal onboarding, it could cause your offer to be rescinded, or at the least a second conversation surrounding the events of your bankruptcy. Once you have landed a new position, you can contact your Houston bankruptcy attorney for next steps, as this may change the substance of your bankruptcy protection drastically.

May 22, 2014 – A ton of new content drops on the Wii U and 3DS this week. Mega May continues with Mega Man V, two anticipated eShop games hit Wii U, and more! Be sure to check out all of this week's updates on your favorite digital storefront today at noon eastern.
It's Street Fighter Alpha 2 on Wii U Virtual Console, right? Not the first Street Fighter Alpha?
Anyway, Mega Man V you guys! Download immediately!
It pains me to say it, but Mega May has sort of been a letdown. Here's hoping Mega Man V can rocket punch the disappointment right in its deflating testicles.
I just downloaded Mega Man IV last night, played through Bright Man's stage. It was alright.
I have good memories of V. I just hope "we" haven't been overhyping it. It's a good original Mega Man game, but it's not the second coming or anything.
edit - Hey, Squids Odyssey kinda looks nice.
It kinda blows my mind people are still mankind DSiWare games.
Oh I remember seeing the trailer for that on the eShop and thought it looked quite awesome.
Cool looking game. We are receiving a nice diversity of indie games on the Wii U's eshop. I need more time to play all of these cool looking titles.
Hey wait, Mega Man V is $3.99, a buck more than the first four! This better be the best game ever made!
It's the best 8-bit Mega Man game ever made, at least.
Other than Mega Man 9, maybe.
It's good. It's definitely a step up from the other GB games. I wouldn't quite put it up there with the Holy Trinity of the NES games (2, 3, and 4), but it's not far off. Disappointed again that there's so much slowdown, but I guess that's just the way these GB games are.
I really like the Super Duper Mega Arm. It's not as cheese as the charge shot, and it has some fun extra functions and upgrades. Speaking of, how exactly does the Clobber Hand work? It seems to activate at random, and for random durations.
The Stardroid weapons are a very good bunch, pretty creative stuff or improved takes on classics, but it seems like there's not much of a weakness chain going on. A couple of the weapons seem to be strong against almost every boss, some weapons aren't strong against any, and a few bosses don't seem to have any weakness at all. Mega Man 2 had a similar looseness to its Roshambo, but it still had a pretty clear path. Mega Man V is like hey, just get the Photon Missile or the Salt Water or the Bubble Bomb and you're set, buddy!
Good set of bosses, too. The Stardroids themselves were a decent bunch, and the extra bosses and minibosses were pretty neat. It was nice seeing the four Mega Man Killers together, even if Enker and Quint are still totally lame.
It's funny, this is the one game in the franchise that I didn't bother trying to figure out boss weaknesses. I always just ran through with just the Mega Arm, lol.
Clobber? Is that when the arm keeps hitting the target? Just mash the button.
@Guillaume Yeah that. I tried mashing, I tried holding it in...couldn't seem to get consistent results.
I finally started picking up the GB MM games today (after having beaten Wily's Revenge a year or two back). Played through MMII in one sitting yesterday. After hearing lots of horrible things about it, I though it was...okay-ish. Something about it is very non-compelling though--probably has something to do with the extremely easy difficulty. For the first time ever, I beat five (!!) Robot Masters and their levels without dying a single time. Felt very short and easy; the level design and soundtrack were both super-generic.
Otherwise, I thought the controls were decent enough and there was a good variety in the enemies. It was weird how they handled the Robot Masters in the game though.
Currently doing MMIII--it's much better, and it's great to hear the classic themes again. Excellent difficulty and gameplay balance, even if it still kind of feels like a more claustrophobic version of its big console brother. Although I did think Skull Man's stage was better-realized than on the NES.
I'm really liking playing all these GB Mega Man games after growing up on the NES ones, but I can't really seem them overthrowing any of the NES ones yet. Maybe 6.
Swords & Soldiers, just an HD upgrade of the original Wii-ware game or something extra?

Key Words: Invasive alien plants (IAPs), Native plants, Anthropogenic activities.
J. Bio. Env. Sci. 13(1), 337-346, July 2018.
A growing problem for the vast extents of diverse tropical forests in the Philippines are degraded every year due to booming population and introduction of invasive alien plants (IAPs). This study aimed to (1) assess the effects of anthropogenic activities on the propagation of IAPs; (2) identify the resident’s purpose of utilizing IAPs; (3) identify the least and most invasive life forms in response to anthropogenic activities that are present in highly disturbed (Site 1) and less disturbed sites (Site 2) of Mt. Manunggal, Cebu Island, Philippines. Both sites were sampled by establishing four quadrats per transect and tallying each plant per quadrat to identify its total abundance per species last October-November, 2016. Residents were interviewed to identify utilization of IAPs and to show the relationship of human activities in the promotion of IAPs in the area. Linear regression test showed that as anthropogenic activities increased, high patronization of the IAPs were also observed in Site 1 and Site 2. High IAP consumption was enough to address the immediate needs of the residents which in turn exacerbate the spread and establishment of IAPs in both sites. At present levels, grasses and herbs were seen to be the most invasive life forms with largest impact in Site 1 and Site 2. The direct relationship between anthropogenic activities and IAPs could result in a dramatic rise of alien plant species, and may thus intensify risks of impacts on native plant species and communities.

Craft Market at Spier, New Artists 2018-2019: Wendy Herdien of Starchild Inc.
Wendy Herdien under the name Starchild Inc makes jewellery and a series of one-off bags made from upcycled denim jeans and patched with contrasting fabrics. Her Africa print bag is also a popular seller.
How did Starchild Inc get started?
I started Starchild Inc in 2012 officially. It was a way to supplement my income as I was working in the Waterfront at the time. I always knew that I wanted to do my own thing. When I was a kid I used to make doll clothing and gifts, I was very creative from a young age.
In 2012 with the recession my boss could no longer afford to employ me full time, so I was just doing three days a week. I started off making jewellery on my free days. Fashion design was my dream but all the materials, machines and space would cost way more, so I started with jewellery. I started small and then realised I had to step up my game. Eventually I was able to buy six sewing machines from a friend who unfortunately was selling up his business. I progressed onto making bags, clutch bags and pencil cases. I had to start making my own patterns and learning the techniques, I’m basically self-taught, thank goodness for Google and YouTube!
What inspired your signature line of patchwork bags?
I like quality goods. I went to a fabric shop and saw a box of remnants. There were some really good quality hard-wearing fabrics, beautiful prints and things, that I wanted to use for my bags. Some pieces were too small, so I started using them as patchwork. I like patches, combining different textures, denim, long-lasting, hard-wearing fabrics. I use old jeans, offcuts of upholstery fabrics from Hertex. This is where I started with upcycling. Patch bags, streetwear is my vibe. Denim is timeless.
I’m wanting to make clothing this year. I’m doing a pattern-making course. I’d love to study fashion at some stage too, but for now a pattern-making course is much quicker - 10 Saturdays versus a three year course. I already do festival wear, I bedazzle second-hand denim jackets with trims to upcycle them, and I want to get into men’s clothing too.
See Wendy’s bags and jewellery at The Craft Market at Spier, open every day 10h00 to 17h30 until beginning May at Spier Wine Farm.

The year was 1976, Paul, his father and his uncle Michael would often go hunting in Belanglo State Forest to mainly hunt rabbits. Paul was aged 13 at the time.
Belanglo State Forest is a planted forest, of mainly pine but some native forestry around the edges in New South Wales; its total area is about 3,800 hectares. Paul, his dad and his uncle arrived at Belanglo Forest during the winter of 76, where they drove around in their EH Holden trying to expose animals in the night time, their hunt ended in the early hours of the morning and they slept in Belanglo, in their car.
Belanglo Forest today is infamously known for the missing backpackers and the Ivan Milat killings that occurred throughout the 80s and 90s. As this event occurred prior to these killings it is unlikely, but not impossible that a serial killer was outside their car, but Paul and his uncle can’t figure out who it could have be, if it was a farmer who lived nearby, why didn’t he use a flashlight? and why were there no sounds of a car? The answer is unknown, and the memory has haunted Paul throughout his life.

No longer the preserve of the middle-aged, middle class, gardening is having a real moment: under-35s have rated it as one of their top five leisure activities, while a third of us are now adept at growing our own food.
And best of all, you don’t need any previous experience – or oodles of outdoor space – to cultivate your own thriving vegetable patch. Here, in an extract from her upcoming book How To Grow, Creative Director and keen gardener Hollie Newton explains everything you need to know about growing your own vegetables, from sourcing quirky plant pots to chitting seedlings (yes, really).
Read on to learn how to grow your own potatoes, courgettes and radishes, even if you only have a windowsill to work with.
As I opened my eyes the other morning I noticed something I hadn’t heard in a while… birdsong. A gang of the little fellas beeping away outside my window, heralding the irresistible arrival of spring. Lighter mornings. Bold new cruise-collection colours. An end to the tyranny of Nora-Batty-tight-situations. And the heady possibility of stepping outside, assessing my own little patch of ground, and deciding which vegetables to grow this year.
Yes. Vegetables. I don’t know about you, but 90% of my decisions in life seem to revolve around what I fancy for dinner. From our first rented balcony, it wasn’t flowers that set me skipping off to the garden centre, but the tantalising prospect of growing my own food. Sweet cherry tomatoes picked from the vine after work. Rainbow chard and pink-ringed beetroot. Potatoes prised from the soil and whisked into the kitchen for New York-style breakfast latkes.
Give me a courgette flower over a gladiolus any day.
Thankfully for us town and city dwellers, even the tiniest scrap of outdoor space can be turned to good vegetable use. Raised beds, big pots, clever planters – even bright and sunny windowsills. With the growing season just around the corner, here are a few things to set you on your horticultural way.
Water your seedling with the fine spray of a watering can while he’s still in his multi-celled tray or plastic pot. then ‘pop’ him out by pushing your thumbs up underneath. If that doesn’t work, a quick sharp tap with a trowel while holding the pot upside down should do the trick.
Loosen your seedling’s roots by teasing them out of their soil ball, then dig a hole in the soil, slightly larger than the pot he came in, and tuck your plant in, roots down.
Fill the hole back in, firming the soil to ensure he doesn’t wobble. Then it’s one last water for luck.
The below calendar shows the best months to plant, harvest and chit your vegetables.
Use that imagination of yours. Does your local takeaway chuck out really cool-looking oil drums with bright Indian lettering all over them? After a good wash, this is courgette heaven in the making.
Do you have a big off-license or wine warehouse near you? Ask if you can squirrel away one or two empty wooden wine crates. Drill holes in the bottom and, lo, you’ve created the perfect snuggly strawberry home. Lucky strawberries.
Milk churns. Old barrels. Boring plastic pots painted bright colours with exterior-paint tester pots. I once saw Kirstie Allsopp dive into a skip on national television on the hunt for such things. Sod it… do like Kirstie Allsopp. Go shamelessly foraging for other people’s tat, then transform it in your garden. You’ll be the king of Pinterest before you know it.
Handy hint: Here’s a helpful tip for you when planting in pots. When filling our containers, large or small, put a layer of stones/bits of old brick/broken pots/whatever you find lying around in the bottom. This will help water drain out of the pot (so long as there are holes in the bottom – make sure to drill some if there aren’t any), rather than collecting around the plant roots and drowning them.
If all you have is a vast, flat, vertical wall to work with, drill some shelves into it. Genius. From nowhere for pots and planters to sit, to all the surface area you could hope for.
Alternatively, try a fancy garden shelf ladder. No drilling required; simply lean it against your wall and fill with planters. Wooden wine crates, old pots, brightly coloured tin buckets. The world is your oyster.
Handy hint: All hail the BBQ. It’s basically illegal to have a garden without a BBQ, so work out where you’re going to put yours. On our tiny rented balcony we had two dedicated bricks on which to perch the disposable tin-foil version (we knew how to live). Nowadays, we have a genuinely fancy Weber – but it took me years to save up for this sort of outlandish fire-making, so go with whatever you can afford. On a sunny day, it really doesn’t matter what you cook on – charred sausages and a pitcher of disastrously strong Pimm’s will outdo any restaurant in the Michelin Guide.
It’s difficult to know what the most exciting part is; digging deep into the earth with your hands, mud up to your elbows, excavating each one with a whimper of joy, or the fact that you have to use ‘chitting’ potatoes to get them started. Ha ha ha. Chitting potatoes. There’s really no greater joy than telling friends you’re chitting potatoes on your windowsill.
I naively thought you just bunged seed potatoes into the soil as soon as you bought them, but it turns out you have to put them in a warm place until they sprout. Don’t worry; I’ve learnt a few potato tricks, which we’ll get to in a jiffy.
Come on then. Let’s get chitting.
When: Start preparing early. In late January/early February head to your local garden centre and buy a bag of seed potatoes. I’ve used Swift Seed First Early with great success, but there are many varieties available. They’ll then be ready to plant out around March/April.
Where: A sunny, warm windowsill followed by a sunny to medium-sunny spot in your garden.
How: Chit potatoes in an egg box, that’s my advice. Sit each potato in its own dimple, with the sprouting bits at the top, on a warm sunny windowsill. Then wait. Soon, you’ll notice cheeky green shoots. When they reach a good 5cm tall, they’re ready to plant.
There’s something pleasingly Britain in Blitz about growing your own potatoes. How do you plant them? You build a trench; 10cm deep, nice and straight, in a sunny spot. Line it with a layer of compost, then drop your potatoes in, green shoots upwards. Sprinkle a few slug pellets between the tubers to protect from dastardly underground keel slugs, then cover the whole trench with soil and give them a good water.
Space: Plant your tubers at 30cm intervals.
Word on the gardening street is... when it comes to container planting, nothing is better than a potato bag. More reliable than big pots, and cheaper. Win win. The big garden centres, DIY chains and online suppliers offer a variety of kits, with bags and seed potatoes included.
Chit as above, then fill an 8-litre potato bag with good-quality multipurpose compost to 2.5cm below the rim. Plunge your tubers into the compost, shoots upwards, 12cm deep and gently cover with compost. Now water and place the bag in a bright, frostfree position.
Here’s yet another fun potato-growing anomaly. As soon as you see shoots poking out of the earth, cover them over again. Mounding up the earth with your hands to create a sort of man-made molehill is called ‘earthing up’ in the trade. After a while, the stalk will become strong and full of leaves. As long as you’ve created that nice big earth mound at the base to begin with, all will be well.
‘But why the heck are we doing this? We’re not moles’, I hear you ponder. Well, the main reason is to prevent new potatoes forming near the surface and turning green (from the sunlight). Green potatoes are poisonous. Preventing death by green potato aside, often more potatoes will form from the buried stems. Huzzah. More potatoes all round. Feed potato plants every other week with tomato feed – or fancy potato fertiliser – and water when the soil begins to dry out.
When: Start to harvest earlies as ‘new potatoes’ as soon as the plants start to flower (about 10 weeks from planting), however the longer you leave them, the bigger they become. Generally speaking, if you wait until two weeks after the stems die/wither and fall over, your potatoes will be just the right big size.
How: In fact, you don’t harvest potatoes. You ‘lift’ them. Gently lever a fork back and forth to loosen the soil, then ‘sift’ for the spuds with your hands. Be sure to have a really thorough rummage in the soil for any strays, otherwise you’ll find yourself with surprise potatoes next year. Lifted potatoes are best stored in paper bags or hessian sacks in a dark cool place.
Handy hint: Once you’ve lifted your potato chums, if it ís a nice day, leave them on top of the soil for a few hours to dry and cure their skin before storing.
How Often: Harvest your entire potato crop in one go, unless you’d like some earlies.
Good news… courgettes are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the easiest vegetable to grow. One tiny seedling and you’ll have a steady crop of fresh, tasty courgettes for weeks and weeks in the summer.
I’ve been growing ‘Taxi’ or ‘Soleil’ courgettes for the last few years – bright yellow, smooth-skinned little fellas, which look lovely in salads, have a bright fresh taste and are so tender you can eat them raw or lightly pickled, Swedish-style. These are early maturing and high yielding, which basically means that for impatient gardeners (me) you’ll get courgettes sooner – then keep on getting them. However, the following advice applies to all courgette varieties.
When: In late April/early May you’ll see courgette seedlings start to arrive in garden centres.
Where: Find the sunniest spot in your garden. Courgettes love the sunshine. They’re like Joey Essex.
How: Dig a small-football-sized hole in your bed and chuck in some well-rotted manure or compost. Pop the little chap in, tuck him up so that the soil’s nice and firm but not rock solid around him (you don’t want him wobbling about), then give him a good old soak.
Space: If you’re planting more than one, make sure they’re a good metre away from each other. This puppy’s going to get BIG. Silly big. Ours reached the width of a swarthy man’s shoulders last year. He’s got large leaves and likes to stretch. Try not to cramp his style.
If you’re planting in a pot, use the biggest one you can get your hands on. At least 30–35cm wide, as deep as you can find. Then follow the instructions above.
Courgettes are thirsty little critters. Keep them well watered and you’re basically good to go. On a hot day I quickly chuck some water at them before work, then water them again when I get back. Apart from that, it’s a good idea to give them a feed every now and then. Every few weeks, sprinkle tomato feed at the base of the stem to keep Mr Courgette happy.
A sprinkle of fertiliser pellets across the soil at the beginning of the season will keep nutrients topped up, but it’s best to follow the instructions on the packet as each one’s a little different.
Good old courgettes. Truly, a low-maintenance gardener’s dream.
When: Courgettes are crazy productive. At the height of the growing season you’ll have anywhere between 10 and 20 courgettes on your plant at any one time. As a guide, harvest when the courgettes reach around 10cm long. They’re at their very best eaten that day but will keep quite happily for a few days in the fridge.
How: To harvest, go and get a sharp knife from the kitchen then carefully slice them at the base; the green knobbly bit where it joins the main trunk of the plant. BE CAREFUL. Sure, you’re brandishing a sharp knife, don’t go maiming yourself. But mainly... be careful of the courgette. Tim is a notorious accidental destroyer of courgette plants. Truly a scourge of the Cucurbita Family. Knives are sharp, and unless my biology GCSE has failed me, plants need leaves.
How Often: Try to harvest a few times a week. The more you take, the more your lunatic plant will grow.
Radishes are so easy to sow that we’re stepping into the world of seeds once more. Rip open that seed packet radish fans. From early spring through to late summer, these are the ultimate small-space container salad.
Handy hint: Radishes are so fast–growing that they’re ready to pick a remarkable four weeks after sowing. The ultimate choice for an impatient gardener.
Radishes grow so quickly and reliably in pots that I tend to keep my raised bed for bigger, more demanding crops.
When: You can find packets of radish seeds all year round. Sow from April to July.
Where: If you don’t want to grow them in a pot, they thrive in beds too, particularly planted between crops that take longer to grow. Radishes will grow in partial shade but they thrive in full sun.
How: Fill your pot as normal, place some broken tiles/bricks/stones in the bottom for drainage and fill with a soil-based compost. Rake the surface to remove any lumps, sow your seeds roughly 5 cm deep, then cover lightly with soil and water with a fine-headed watering can.
Space: Sow your seeds roughly 2.5 cm apart.
Keeping the soil moist (not soggy, not dry) will ensure that they grow quickly, taste their best and don’t split open. If you sow seeds in the middle of a heatwave, pay extra special care.
When: When your radishes reach roughly 2.5–3 cm in diameter (their heads poke out of the surface so it’s easy to tell).
How: Gently pull them from the soil. Ta da! Radishes harvested.
How often: As needed for dinner.
You will inevitably kill a few things along the way. Don’t cry. From freak heat waves to unexpected insect attacks, Mother Nature can scupper even the best-laid gardening plans. My advice? Console yourself with a very dirty martini then try again.
Grow what you want to eat. Simple advice, but something to bear in mind as you stand, befuddled, in the middle of the ‘grow your own’ section. Unusual-coloured and shaped versions of the classics (tomatoes, courgettes, beetroot and so on) are a fool-proof place to start.
Start with seedlings – the small pre-grown plants you find in multi-celled trays and tiny pots. Trust me, you have enough to learn without the added hassle of growing from seed. That’s for the next book.

Functional flours are extracted from grain or non-grain sources, which are further modified to enhance its values. The sources through which the functional flours are made are selected based on various quality parameters such as grain size, functionalities, and other properties. Functional flour is majorly used in bakery and household purpose as the cost is slightly more if compared to the normal flours.
The global functional flours market is broadly segmented based on various factors such as the type of flour, application, and basis of the source. Based on the types flours, it is categorized as specialty flour, pre-cooked flour, and various other types. Functional flours are also segmented based on the sources this includes cereals, rice, corn, wheat, legumes, soybeans, lentils, and other cereals. Further, functional flours market is widely diversified into various regions, which include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Rest of the World.
Increasing intake of healthy food products and people following healthy food habits is driving the growth of the global functional flour market. Manufacturers introducing the wide variety of functional food products and simultaneously branding those products effectively has also fuelled the growth of the global market. People adopting premium food products due to their nutritional values has fostered the demand of the functional flours. Growing demand for healthy and low-fat alternatives and the presence of untapped opportunities in the market may augment the growth of the global market. Changing consumer lifestyles and growing spending capability are some of the factors responsible for the augmented demand of functional flours, which indirectly motivates the growth of the global functional flours market. High demand from the end users has effectively increased the graph of the global functional flours market. On the other hand, stringent government rules in terms of food safety to produce gluten-free and fortified flours is somewhere hampering the growth of the functional flour market.
Some of the major players dominating the global functional flours market include Associated British Foods PLC, Agrana Beteiligungs-AG, Archer Daniels Midland Company, Bunge Limited, Parrish and Heimbecker, Limited, The Scoular Company, Cargill, Incorporated, General Mills Inc., The Hain Celestial Group Inc., and Sunopta, Inc.

We will meet at the north end of the lake near the bathrooms next to the large wading pool. We will then walk a little to the east on the walking trail into a grassy area nearby where we can practice amongst the trees. Please arrive at least 5 minutes early so we can begin walking to our practice spot at noon.
You can drop in or attend regularly. We will start each class with some foundational basics and then slowly over this series learn the Walking Qi Gong breathing/walking patterns for balancing and strengthening the main energetic channels.
These Walking Qi Gong movements involve a simple breathing and walking pattern for each of the solid organ energetic meridians (Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung and Kidney). These meridians are also each correlated with one of the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water). In China you will see large groups of people doing these walking Qi Gong practices. The picture is from my 2007 trip to China where this group of women were doing Xi Xi Hu walking in a park.
When practiced regularly these walking Qi Gong movements create a very powerful strengthening of the immune system and are used specifically to treat and prevent cancer. Strengthening our immune systems is one of the most profound benefits that occurs from regular Qi Gong practice.
Doing these walking patterns outside in a group communing with large elder trees sets the conditions for these practices to land even more deeply within you.
Utilizing specific breathing and walking patterns, this practice is often known as Xi Xi Hu walking in China. It is a beautiful and energetic practice that anyone can do.

/ Hey! Guess what? Harry and Meghan aren’t the only ones marrying on May 19th!
It is no secret between my regular readers among you that Harry and Meghan are fast becoming my favourite Royal couple ever. And for those of you joining me in this merry obsession, those of you doing a last minute shop for your Royal wedding party or even possibly, those of you who are setting up camp outside Windsor Castle as I type, we are sure ready for their big day TOMORROW, aren’t we? That’s me screaming. Yes, it is that exciting!
However, as excited as I am by their love affair, the way that the world’s media have been carrying on since they announced their engagement, you’d think they were the ONLY lovebirds tying the knot tomorrow.
And so this is why, I’ve been on a global hunt for other awesome couples who will also be getting married on the same day as Harry and Meghan, this Saturday 19th May, those who also deserve to have their big day bigged up and cheered on! And just because one couple are truly Royal, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t other couples out there who are royal in their own lovely, special way.
So do join me in celebrating all the royal couples out there, who’ll be getting hitched on this special, historic day, including this glorious bunch below who have kindly shared their wedding stories.
Ruth and Simon have been together for four years and met via a mutual friend in a pub. Their wedding is taken place in a village hall near Hastings, and to really get into the swing of it, they’re having a royal theme. Awesome, right?
And if they couldn’t get any more royal, their names after their wedding will be Mr and Mrs King. Isn’t that superb!
All rise for the Kings.
Jenna and Garrett’s love story just cannot get any cuter. They met at a college bus stop, when Jenna’s umbrella caused rain to drip all over Garrett. Isn’t that the cutest? Like a love scene straight out of a film. And now four years later, they get to celebrate their love with a beautiful ceremony and wedding in Forsyth Park, Savannah, Georgia.
With their Officiant Tracy Brisson of Savannah Custom Weddings, they have planned a stunning and intimate ceremony. They’ve written their own personal vows, and will have a violinist play music throughout their ceremony and they’ll be carrying out a tree-planting ceremony too. How wonderful! And these guys are super excited too, as their wedding is a destination wedding for them, as they’re travelling from West Virginia for their big day in Savannah.
Jenna and Garrett were also keen to point out that they choose May 19th before Harry and Meghan, so it is in fact Harry and Meghan who is marrying on Jenna and Garrett’s wedding day and not the other way around!
This music-loving pair met at a music gig two and a half years ago. For their wedding, which they always wanted to be held in Spring, they’re holding it in a village hall in rural Leicestershire. They’re having a 1940s theme with a Goth twist and Stuart’s band – FIRST WAVE – will be playing, too!
For their ceremony, which will be led by Celebrant Helen Walter from Shires Ceremonies, they’ll be saying their own personal vows and lighting a unity candle.
sweethearts. For their big day and celebration of love, they’ll be celebrating their marriage at the stunning Chateau de Lartigolle in Pessan, France – a venue they fell in love with at first site. Their intimate and bespoke ceremony will be led by Celebrant Diane Smith, from SW France Celebrant.
And this lovely pair are pretty excited to be sharing their wedding date with the Royals, as our their friends and family.
Emily and Sean met back in 2012 through friends at The Great British Beer Festival in London and they’re having their wedding in stunning Polzeath, Cornwall. Their fabulous ceremony led by Denise Whitehair of Cornish Celebrants, will be on the beach. They’re writing their own vows, having friends and family do two readings (one from Bob Marley, one from The Hobbit), and finishing with a Cornish well wishing. Sounds amazing, right?
And although Emily and Sean are excited about sharing their wedding date with Harry and Meghan, they do think something fishy is going on with those Royals.
Yes, that does sound very fishy, indeed!
Irish couple, Nicola and Martin have been together for ten years and were only engaged for a short time before setting their May date.
Nicola and Martin have a fab ceremony in store at Clonabreany House in Kells, Co. Meath, which will be led by their wedding Celebrant Yvonne Cassidy. They’ll be choosing their own vows and Yvonne will perform a blessing of the hands, and their bridesmaid, Amy, will be singing a song for them during the ceremony. How lovely is that? And Nicola and Martin are also thrilled that their children, Lily and Harry, will also get to be a big part of their special day, too and they can’t wait for them to be involved.
Someone get me some tissues, please.
Jo and Will are our second couple to have met at a beer festival! They met in October 2011 through mutual friends at the Robin Hood beer festival! They’re tying the knot in Cambridge and have got what sounds like an awesome ceremony awaiting them. Led by Celebrant Michelle Taylor, Jo’s Mum and Grandma will be walking in first, followed by bridesmaids, then Jo and her Dad will walk in to ‘You Are My Sunshine,’ which is a very special song to Jo and her family. They’ll also be having personal vows, some readings from friends and lighting candles.
When asked about sharing their wedding with Megs and Haz, this couple weren’t too fussed.
Now if there was an award for originality of a wedding venue then it would most certainly have to go to Gail and Theodore who, wait for it – are getting married in a football stadium. Yup, you read that right. Their ceremony is being held on top of the Florida State University football stadium overlooking the field because Gail and Theodore are lifelong FSU football fans!
For their ceremony which is being led by Officiant Amanda Reeves from A Beautiful Wedding in Florida, they are doing a unity sand ceremony with the sands coloured in the FSU garnet and gold. The “sand” is actually special glass that after the ceremony they will ship to an artist who will be blowing it into an art piece for them to keep displayed in their home. Wow, oh wow!
And like many other couples who chose their date a long time ago, way before it was even a thought in Meghan and Harry’s minds, they think it’s kind of magical to be sharing the date with the Royals.
Sam and Andy met six years ago on a blind date in a pub. They’re very excited to be having their ceremony in the grounds of Sherwood Forest and it’s now even more special to them since finding out that weddings will no longer take place there and theirs will be one of the last.
Along with their Celebrant Gaynor Stickels, they’re going to have an outdoor hand-fasting ceremony.
Dee and Ian met five years ago on the internet and are having their wedding ceremony in a little chapel on the Derbyshire Dales. As planned and created with their wedding Celebrant Ruby Beech, they’re going to have readings by a family member and friend and the groom. Family members are going to sign their wedding certificate, two little family members are going to be ring bearers and they’ll have a Hand-fasting, which will be led by Ruby too. Smashing!!
And last, but not least, is my very own gorgeous couple, Harriet and Alex, who met on a film set in Morocco, where they both work in film and tv. They’re getting married in Cortijo Rosa Blanca – a stunning Andalusian hideaway.
For their ceremony, Harriet’s sister is going to do a reading and this fun-loving couple will get their guests singing along to not one, but two group songs! Tiny Dancer by Elton John and Can’t buy me love by the Beatles! Cannot wait!
Harriet and Alex share their thoughts on the Royal wedding.
Thank you so much to all of these awesome couples who have shared their ceremony stories with us and given us a little insight into how they’re going to be spending their special day. I’m sending out all the love and jubilant vibes to these wonderful couples, and ALL other couples who’ll be having their wedding celebrations on May 19th. Have a good one!

The innovative project supplies 1,500 megawatt-hours of power per year, delivering US$475,000 in annual fuel savings. It reduces the island’s carbon-dioxide footprint by more than 1,000 tonnes each year. The pioneering project includes two 55-metre wind turbines that can pivot at the base and be lowered and locked in place in less than one hour. This collapsible design helps to avoid damage from the region’s numerous cyclones.
