It is also found to reduce the risk of certain types of cancers such as colon cancer. There is also a study that tea prevents diabetes because of its function to reduce blood glucose activity. Aside from this, tea also plays an important function to provide immunity against intestinal disorders and protect cell membranes from damage due to oxidation. These are only a few of the many perceived benefits of Chinese tea.

Chinese Tea Wonders And Facts

Chinese Tea Lore

The Chinese tea lore is several hundred years and even thousands of years earlier than that of Japan. It can be said that the Chinese tea lore places an emphasis on spirit and makes light of form. It also has different representations at different historical stages. Teas are also different but all embody the tea spirit of "clearness, respect, joy and truthfulness".

Drinking tea - Tea is taken as a beverage to quench thirst.

Tasting tea - Emphasis is placed on the color, fragrance and flavor of tea, water quality and tea set. When taking tea, the taster should also be able to savor tea carefully.

Tea art - Attention is paid to environment, atmosphere, music, infusing techniques and interpersonal relationships.

The highest ambit—— tea lore - Philosophy, ethics and morality are blended into tea activity. People cultivate their morality and mind and savor the life through tasting tea, thereby attaining enjoyment of spirit.

Clearness - It is namely cleanness, incorruptness, quietness and loneliness. The essense of tea art not only seeks the cleanness of the appearance of things, but also pursues the loneliness, tranquility, incorruptness and shame awareness of the mind. In a still ambit, only through drinking clear and pure tea soup can one appreciate the profoundness of drinking tea.

respect - Respect is the root of everything on earth and the way of having no enemies. People should show respect for others and be cautious themselves.

Joy - The meaning of harmony lies in form and method and that of joy is in spirit and affection. Sipping bitterness and swallowing sweetness when drinking tea can enlighten the spice of life and cultivate a broad mind and a far sight so that the disputes between others and self disappear. The spirit of joy lies in that people is not pretentious and haughty, dwell in mildness and nurture courteous conduct.

Truthfulness - It is namely truth and genuine knowledge. The supreme good is the whole formed by combination of truth and genunine knowledge. The ambit of supreme good is to retain , remove material desire without being tempted by advantages and disadvantages, study the physical world to gain knowledge and continually seek after improvements. In another word, people should use scientific methods to seek the complete sincerity of everything. The essence of drinking tea lies in enlightening capacity and conscience so that everyone can live a simple life to express their ambition and handle matters thriftily and virtuously in daily life, thus attaining the ambit of truth, good and beauty.

Treasure Hunting for Jade

Jade rough

Do you have a hankering to find some Jade but you do not want to travel to China or South America for it?  Well you are in luck; you can just pick it off the ground from Jade Cove which is located about 65 miles south of Monterrey California.

When treasure hunters first discovered Jade at Jade Cove they came from all over to hammer and dynamite the large rocks on the cliffs.  Large trucks with winches were used to drag the boulders up the cliffs doing serious damage to the beach and cliff areas.

Jade Cove is now protected and it has numerous regulations regarding the prospecting for jade that are strictly enforced.  No tools are allowed, no collections above the high tide mark.  It is a day use area only, so no camping.  The trail leading down the cove is covers a 180 food drop is it is quite steep and treacherous and you are only allowed to remove what one man can carry out.

Scuba Diving

A shallow shelf slopes off the shore and runs through thick kelp beds.  Fifty yards offshore is Cave Rock.  Beneath 40 feet of water, it is the only underwater concentration of jade known in the world today.  The cave runs parallel to the shore and in the cave is naturally polished pure green jade.  It will be one of your most unforgettable diving experiences.

Two type of Jade is known.  The first is Jadeite (sodium-rich aluminous pyroxene) and the other is Nephrite (calcium-rich magnesium, iron, aluminous amphibole).  Both have a hardness rating between 6.5 and 7 on the mohs scale.  They can be beautifully colored and have delicate shapes.  Both were created under extreme pressure with relatively low temperatures.

Prehistoric man used jade for weapons and tools.  It has the hardness of quarts and could be shaped into cutting type tools and weapons.  China has been using jade since 3,000 B.C.  The Mayan, Aztecs of Central America valued jade more highly that gold.

Jade carved

Other Places to Find Jade

In China, Nephrite can be found in a creamy white coloration known as Mutton Fat as well as the green variety.  Jadeite can come in a more verity of colors such as blue, lavender, pink, black and emerald green.  Jadeite is the rarer of the two and can be found only in about 12 places in the world.
 
Jade is the official gemstone of the state of Alaska where it has been found in the Kobuk river watershed at Jade Mountain.  Outside of the Anchorage Visitor’s Center sits a two ton block of jade that was mined from the Kobuk area and donated to the state.  Some fine green, white, and cats’ eye nephrite have been found in Alaska.

Wyoming has green and a golden brown variety of jade that is found in the chaparral and desert country around Lander. 

Metaphysical

The metaphysical properties of jade include wisdom, justice, compassion, modesty, courage, beauty, longevity and female eroticism.  Chinese often had the mouthpieces of the opium pipe carved out of jade in the belief that breathing smoke through jade would bestow longevity upon the smokers.  Calligraphy brush handles were also made of jade so the user would gain wisdom when using it.

Happy Treasure Hunting.

Five Work From Home Ideas for Moms

The thought of working from home can be very appealing if you are a mum-to-be or are just starting to enjoy your maternity leave. You may have been thinking about options for some time even before you became pregnant and the thought of those gruelling commutes and tedious hours may now take on additional significance.

Many mums find that they need to work after they give birth, especially as budgets were tight to begin with and will be even more strained from now on.

Over a third of working mums said they would rather be at home with their children according to a recent survey in the Daily Express. The majority of mums said they wished for a shorter working week.

When the idea of physically leaving the home to go to work every day combines with the thought of being away from your precious baby, many mums start to think about "work from home" options. There are many opportunities available to you in this respect, but you must first be sure that you are aware of all the implications.

Very often a home-based business can represent longer hours and the thoughts of having to keep up with paperwork and all the other elements of running your own business can be quite daunting. Professional coaching with an ICF-accredited coach will help you get clarity, direction and a plan of action. You will make better decisions and move forward more quickly than you would have done so on your own.

When you're thinking about setting up a home-based business, you should consider your strengths and weaknesses carefully. Think back all the way to your school days and consider your interests. Whilst many online life coaching experts caution against trying to convert a hobby into a business, you should nevertheless see if you cannot uncover an entity that piques your interest. You may remember that you were particularly good at an extracurricular activity in school or university - it's great to set up a business that caters to your values and your strengths.

Here are five home-based business ideas:

1. . This can be a very rewarding venture. Do people always compliment you on your ? If you have a natural flair for , then you could develop this into a business? These days it is relatively easy to open your own business and you can set up a small studio in one of your spare rooms relatively easily. With the advent of digital technology and the spread of the web, you can get someone to help you a great website and upload your creations for all to see. You should know that there are a number of online websites that allow you to register and upload your creations for their members to browse and potentially buy.

2. Wedding or event planner. If you were always actively involved in planning events in university, or if you love to put together those outdoor parties for families and friends, why not consider becoming a wedding planner. This is an ideal job for a work at home mum and you can use your flair for creativity and your list of contacts to start the ball rolling.

3. Mobile pet grooming. This opportunity can combine your love for animals with a definite need in the marketplace. Just as others have problems allocating time to do anything these days, they may neglect the pet and would be more than willing to allow you to bathe and groom. You will have to spend a good bit of time away, but you can set your own hours and will probably be surprised to find that there is a fairly large client base within your immediately vicinity.

4. Consulting. If you are a professional with expertise in a particular field, you could set up as a freelance consultant? You must of course find out whether you had any kind of "non compete" agreement with your previous employer, but if not, use your expertise and skills to help others.

5. Internet marketing. This is a huge growth area and while it does suggest a fairly significant learning curve, you will conduct all of your business from the comfort of your spare room. There are a variety of different fields within the overall subject of Internet marketing and you can set yourself up to be an agent to sell other companies' products, something known as "affiliate marketing," or you can sell your own services as a web content provider, writer, artist or designer.

Coaching for women in your position is available online and can often help to open your eyes to a number of possibilities that you may not yet have considered.

Family Children Photography

Children's/Family Photographers???

I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Being new, I am not familiar with good photographers in the area. I would like to have portraits taken of my sons. Anyone have any good family, or especially good child reccomendations? I really like the photojournalistic approach. Or, does anyone know of any websites I could visit to find good photographers?

I am a photographer from Canada so I'm sorry that I can't help you personally...unless you want to travel! :)
I take a lot of pictures of children. They are sometimes realy challenging, and a good photographer needs to have a sense of humor and a sense of timing. I have worked at Sears for many years. Although I'm not employed by them anymore, (and forgive me for plugging them) they are usually quick and USUALLY very good. And relatively inexpensive, if that's an issue. Now having said that, some staff are not as talented as others. And finding good photographer is like finding a good hair dresser.
You might want to check out Ken Easley's website. I really enjoyed it.
