Trying to Stand

One bright afternoon, his mother -my SIL- let him to play ‘dirty’ with the gravels in the front yard. He’s still learning to stand. I was in the right position to capture the moment.

Could Disposable E Cigs Be the Best Solution for Smokers?

Disposable e cigs are designed with a specific segment of the population in mind: smokers who go to places where you can’t smoke. Think about it. If you want to use the ecig to quit smoking, or to start taking nicotine without having to also inhale tar and benzene and all the other god awful constituents of actual cigarette smoke, then you buy a rechargeable electric cigarette that will last you for as long as possible. Cost effectiveness alone says that doing anything else is more than a little daft.

So what’s the point of disposable e cigs? Surely you either smoke cigarettes, or you quit them and smoke the ecig instead?

Not so if you are a cigarette smoker who (for example) goes to a club in London, where you can’t smoke inside and aren’t allowed out for a cigarette (it’s true: I’ve been to several and it sucks, especially when you’re drunk). In this situation the disposable option is ideal. It doesn’t cost anything like as much as the rechargeable version (and so it shouldn’t, otherwise there really would be no point at all) so you can safely go out, get a few drinks down you and “smoke” your ecig without worrying that you’ll have lost your £80 investment in the morning.

The disposable e cigarette, then, has a very particular market. In a free country where smoking tobacco is still legal, of course, there is nothing to stop you being a confirmed smoker. I’m one myself. The legalities of smoking indoors can make it impossible for a confirmed smoker to have a good time when he or she goes out. The disposable ecigs, on the other hand, ensures that someone like me can get out and about without getting grouchy, nervous or feeling like the whole world is out to get them.

In other words: the disposable e cigarette redresses the balance for people who have no intention of quitting tobacco, or who just haven’t got around to it yet. And the world is full of people who haven’t got around to quitting tobacco yet, I can tell you.

People who hate going on ferries or planes can use a disposable electric cigarette (provided of course that modern security lets you board an aircraft with a liquid capsule and an atomiser, which looks less and less likely with every passing day) to give them that calming nicotine jolt when they need it. I’ve always thought it funny that nicotine, which is a stimulant, should calm you down, but there you go.

The disposable e cigarette comes in a plastic pack, looks like a pen and gives around 500 hits. That’s the same, according to the ecig manufacturers, as a couple of packets of cigarettes – or in other words, equivalent to a single charge on a normal sized non disposable ecig.

Logic, then, would dictate that anyone who only needs an electric cigarette for the length of one normal charge, should be fine with a disposable e cigarette. If you know you will use the ecig regularly for longer than that then the disposable is not for you.

So apart from getting drunk in clubs and going on planes, what’s the point? Well, anyone who is thinking about making the transition from tobacco to the e cig would do well to buy a disposable one first. That way you can try without having to spend the much more significant money on a full starter pack.

Planting Trees inside the House

There’s nothing wrong with this idea, right? It’s still probable to plant trees in the house, since paying attention to some issues relates to the growth of the tree itself and the interests of residents.

No doubt, plant has many benefits for home health. Starting from a natural oxygen supplier, giving shade from the sun, until soothing sight for tired eyes, all provided by green foliage plants.

In fact, the presence of a large tree in the house was done in some houses, like in an architect's house in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In the back of his house, a durian tree allowed to grow so that its top passes through the roof.

For the continuing growth of the tree, notice the pavement which was built around the tree. Trees will continue to grow, so does its roots. Make sure there is enough space for this growth. Conversely, taking into account if there are roots that will lift the floor surrounding the tree.

For smaller trees that are planted in pots, make sure the need for adequate sunlight. For that, remove the pot regularly once a week. Doing crop rotation is also a solution. Enter one potted plants into the room, while one other pot placed outside the chamber. After a week or 2 weeks, exchange the position of the two plants. In this way, the tree will continue to be fresh and you can derive optimal benefits.

The Ruin of Sena

Can you guess what kind of this building named Sena in the past? I don’t know the story behind the place closeness many years ago; but this place had ever attracted many visitors at that time.

This ‘building’ located near the traditional market in my husband’s home town. I’ve been here for four days. It let shattered slowly there. The left ruin is only the lobby and one wall behind.

Your options are: (a). A restaurant/café (b). A cinema (c). A shop.
Happy Monday!

Waiting for the Airplane

At the boarding room, inside an airport, my father was waiting for the flight time patiently. He didn’t move from that spot at all.

Needs to be Done When Painting the House

For painting, there are a number of steps that need to be taken so that to get maximal results and safety. Before painting, plan first the job and the goods that will be packed. Ideally, a painting job done within an empty room. But if not possible, the furniture can be covered with plastic or newspaper.

When painting, open all windows and doors for air circulation can be run properly. Secure all children and pets during the painting.

When using more than one can of the same color paint, use one large container for mixing paint. This is to prevent the existence of a different color.

In addition, use safety goggles when painting or when the paint preparations. If we also paint the wood or metal with a paint solvent oil-based, do not forget to wear a mask.

When the painting was stopped temporarily, put paint cans in a cool and safe place. The paint brush should be wrapped with paper and place it in a standing position (handle of the brush facing down). If the rest of paint on the brush was hardening, wash with warm water.

Be careful when painting the borders between walls and floors. Use masking tape to prevent paint seepage onto the floor or carpet. If you hesitate to paint your own, you should use an experienced painting services, but you have to spend more!
