Body language helps in everyday life from closing a business deal or trusting someone with your life, to recognising when someone is upset. Body language is the art of making an educated guess at a person’s feelings or intentions based on their posture, movement and positioning. To understand a person’s body language you need to take into account more than one aspect of their body language. Take tears for example. Just seeing tears on a person’s face does not tell you much as they could mean a person is happy, sad or just they might just have watery eyes. Each action or stance in the following list means very little, unless there is more than one indicating the same thing. Arms Feet Head Chest Other

Nest Rest: Huge Hanging Birdhouse-Shaped Hut for Humans | Designs &Ideas on Dornob Tree house meets bird house, with a dash of hammock thrown into the mix. While it is not large enough to house the amenities of a true tree home, it is certainly a step up from a simple outdoor couch or recliner – and can be hung at a variety of heights. The resemblance goes more than skin deep, with a woven wood-like structure that parallels the way in which nests are built in nature. ? Almost as neat as the organic design by Dedon itself are the suggested implementations. Finally, the main frames come in a few colors including white and a more natural-looking brown, while the cushions are available in a variety of patterns, textures and materials including acrylic, leather and polyester … how these will weather the outdoors, though, is another question.
Bonsai soil, recommended mixtures Recommended Bonsai substrate mixtures Using the right soil mixture for your Bonsai trees is crucial. Soil is important to supply your trees with nutrients, but it also needs to drain properly, provide enough aeration, and retain water. Most online Bonsai shops offer ready-mixed soils, but preparing a soil mixture yourself saves money, and gives control over the exact mixture for your particular tree species. The quality of soil used directly affects the health and vigor of your tree. It’s our experience that unhealthy trees, that lack vigor, are very often planted in poor, often organic, Bonsai soil. Bonsai substrates The soil requires several qualities for it to be considered a good soil mix for your bonsai. Good water-retention The soil needs to be able to soak in and retain sufficient quantities of water to supply moisture to the Bonsai between each watering. A particle-based, well-structured, inorganic soil allows water to drain quickly and fresh air to continually enter the soil.

Make a list ...of every possible outcome that this issue could cause in...the near future...the far future...of every person that this topic affects....of any instances where this topic has come in the news....what you would do about this topic if you had the chance/power/enough-sugar...any little detail you can think ofThe important thing about this is to think of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, no matter how silly or far-fetched. Reorder everything Put your most obvious argument first. Then put weird off the wall stuff, regardless of importance. Put the strongest argument for your case next.
