Soulmate AU | Aaron Conners

This is also a college!Au where they’re both still in college.

Prompt: You and your soulmate can communicate telepathically.

Word count: 1500

You and your soulmate had always shared an interest in academics. Back in high school, you both would help each other study and tell each other what grades you got. You both told each other what colleges the both of you would be attending, saddened to find out that you were on opposite sides of the United States. 

You spent your college years, first attending UC Berkely in California, studying plant and microbial biology. There were lots of times throughout your years in college that you and your soulmate would help each other out with homework, and studying. He was a biology major as well, with a premed track. 

It was almost three in the morning one night, and you were still slaving away at your world literature essay, having just barely finished your organic chem homework. You were slightly startled to hear the voice in your head speak up, asking if you were going to sleep anytime soon. You let out a bitter laugh and tell him that you’ll go to sleep as soon as you finish this essay.

“It’s three am, your essay will still be there in the morning.” You roll your eyes at this statement.

“My essay is due at 10 in the morning.” 

“And you’re just now finishing it?! Are you crazy?” You let out a soft laugh at his reaction, shrugging.

“Maybe I am. Or maybe I’m just really awful at writing and my best work happens under pressure. Oh, and also, it’s only midnight in California.” 

“You really are insane.” You turn your focus back to your essay, still shaking your head at your soulmate, a soft smile playing on your lips. It’s almost four in the morning when you finally finish it and crawl into bed, and you’re pretty sure they’re asleep but you go ahead and say a quick goodnight to your soulmate.

“About time. Good luck on your essay tomorrow, and goodnight.”

Interactions like these were some of your favorites because they were so intimate and personal. You also really liked it when you and your soulmate had a similar project or assignment and could help each other out a little bit. This was the case one night when you were staring at an anatomy and physiology assignment, completely stuck.

“I don’t know if you know anything about anatomy and physiology but if you do I could really use some help.” It wasn’t very late, just a little past ten at night, and you hoped that your soulmate could help you out, as you hadn’t made any friends in the class.

“No friends over there at Berkeley to help you out?” You slump into your seat, frustrated.

“I’m not good at making friends and the ones I do have aren’t taking this class, or haven’t taken this professor so they’re not a lot of help.” You don’t really want to explain your shyness and inability to make friends right now, much preferring to focus on the task at hand.

“Okay, well you’re in luck. I happen to be very good at anatomy. What’s the assignment?” You explain the assignment to him and over the course of about an hour he helps you through it, really just helping you to channel your thoughts in the right direction as you figure out the answers.

“See? That wasn’t so hard. I’m sure you’re going to ace it.”  You sigh, putting your head in your hands.

“Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.” There’s a moment of silence before he responds.

“Anytime. Now, what’s this about you not being good at making friends? Why’s that?” You groan out loud, knowing that he can’t hear that response. You let the question linger in the air for a second before responding.

“I have a, like, crippling fear of making friends and being rejected and so talking to new people is the hardest thing for me to do.” More silence, and you curse yourself for saying too much, moving from your uncomfortable desk chair to sit on your bed.

“I’m sorry to hear that. I’ll always be here for you.” You can’t help but smile as you push the covers back, already in your pajamas. It was a little after eleven pm, and you knew you had an early morning so you figured you should get some sleep.

“It’s alright. Thank you again, and I’ll always be here for you too. Goodnight.” You don’t hear his goodnight, already drifting off into a deep slumber.

Fast forward a couple of years and you were moving to Connecticut to finish your grad studies and obtain a doctorate in genetics. One of the first people you had told that you were moving was your soulmate, and you couldn’t help but grin at his response.

“Yale?! That’s less than two hours away from me!”  You were aware of this, as you had chosen a school on the same coast as your soulmate, for a reason.

“Oh my! I had no idea!”  There’s a beat of silence before you hear your soulmate’s voice, slightly defeated.

“You already knew that, though, didn’t you?” You let out a soft chuckle.

“Yeah, I looked it up.” You had applied to fifteen different grad programs, several of them along the east coast, but a few along the west and the Berkeley grad program had told you they’d be more than happy to keep you on their team, but you told them you wanted a change of scenery.

You moved to Connecticut about a month before school started, a couple of months after graduating with your Bachelor’s of Science in Genetics and Plant Biology. At Yale, you would be focusing specifically on genetics and hopefully have the chance to work in a genetics lab. 

Your second year at Yale, your soulmate suggested that you guys meet up on a Saturday and get coffee, finally talk out loud to each other. You were a little weary, but after he said he’d come to you, and there were no strings attached, no requirements, you agreed.

A couple of weeks later, you were sitting in your favorite coffee shop not far from the university, reading a book about CRISPR. You looked up as the bell above the door rang, and staring back at you were some seriously pretty blue eyes. You watched as he went to the counter and ordered his coffee, and you closed your book. 

“Are you the girl reading the biology book that I just made eye contact with?” You let out a soft laugh and he turns to flash you a smile, so you give him a small wave. He joins you a moment later with his coffee in hand.

“Just some light reading, I suppose?” He asks as he reaches for the book, eyebrows raised as he waits for permission. You nod and he picks it up, reading the summary on the back of it. “CRISPR, huh? That’s the name they’re sticking with?” 

You let out a small laugh, taking your book back. “It’s an acronym, stands for clusters of regularly interspaced palindromic repeats.” He nods in faux understanding, removing his coat. “It’s actually pretty interesting if you like genetics and RNA and all that.” 

“Ah, see I like to work on things that I can see without a microscope.” He says, and you raise your eyebrows.

“What, like the viruses you’re studying in med school? Can you see those without a microscope? Are you superhuman?” He laughs at your response, shaking his head. 

“No, but I don’t want to do primary care. I want to work with bones, orthopedics.” He says, and you nod approvingly.

“Well, that sounds like fun.” You say, and he laughs again, shrugging.

“Being a third-year med student is so fun, I never sleep anymore, all I do is study and drink coffee.” He says, and you nod in solidarity, biting your lip.

“I know the feeling, I spend way too many hours in the lab, trying, and failing, to get ahead in my classes.” You look down at your coffee, fiddling with the paper cup holder.

“At least now you’re not keeping me up until all hours of the night.” You feign hurt at his comment, putting your hand to your chest.

“Hey, you could have gone to sleep, I very rarely asked for your help.” He laughs, and you let out a soft chuckle.

“I know, but it was fun staying up with you. Made me feel less alone.” He looks down at his cup now, before looking up to meet your eyes.

“It was nice.” It’s silent for a moment before you clear your throat. “Would you like to take a walk around campus? I can show you my favorite spots.” 

He nods and stands up, and you both head for the exit, coffees in hand. He opens the door for you, smiling at you as you speak. He knew then that he loved you. He didn’t know in what capacity, yet, but he loved you.

Altared Perspective: The Baby Pagan’s Guide to Crystal Usage

Good afternoon, lovies!

With classes moved online, I’ve had much more time to reflect on and invest in my spiritual upkeep. (Procrastinating my homework has nothing to do with it, *gulp* I swear.) The aesthetics I’ve stumbled upon whilst browsing social media brought to my attention the unseemly clutter on my own home altar, and in the spirit of springtime, I organized the holy hades out of it. Going through the used and unused items that had been sitting on that table for months and months, I thought to myself, How could I have avoided making this mess in the first place?

For anyone else who may have an interest in the subject, I hope to provide some answers by creating a simple start-up guide to pagan rituals.

Before moving on, I’d like to clarify: I am not Wiccan. I have no qualms with Wicca, and I find the practice quite interesting, but my heart simply isn’t in it. That being said, practitioners of Wicca may also find this pagan post interesting.

1. Foundation and location.

Foundation: Before you begin, you’ll need a place to set up. There are many creative, unique options for getting started: tree stumps, wooden chests, family furniture passed down from generation to generation. If you’re a first-gen pagan on a budget, as I am, you can just as easily use any plain old table. And size doesn’t matter! Just as long as you can fit everything you need. My table is 2′ wide and 4′ long.

Location: When you have a surface picked out, you’ll of course need somewhere to put it. Most rituals are performed with the practitioner facing north, so if possible, set your altar against a northern wall of your home, preferably next to a window so that your items can soak up the natural light. If you’d rather it be outdoors, just be certain to protect your set-up from the elements (weather, animals, etc.).

2. Crystals and stones

Crystals are the fruits of the earth and the tears of the gods, and as such, each possesses different properties ranging from physical healing to good luck and safe travel. Even in just the short time that I’ve been using them, they have made a tremendous difference in my life. The catch is, there are so many that it can get to be overwhelming - so here’s a good way to start.

Begin with chakra crystals. They’re often sold in sets from $10-20, and their ROY G BIV color scheme makes them easy to navigate. Here's a brief description of each:

a. Red jasper

Red stones represent fire and amplify passion and drive. As a crystal of the day, red jasper means to go for exactly what you want and not to take ‘no’ for an answer. 

b. Orange calcite

Orange stones represent physiological health, specifically intestinal and digestive health. As a crystal of the day, orange calcite is telling you to be careful what you ingest.

c. Gold tigers eye

 Gold and yellow stones represent wealth and prosperity, and are used in many rituals to improve finances. As a crystal of the day, tigers eye promises a lucky bargain or a great deal - but proceed with caution.

d. Green aventurine

Green is the color of luck in all areas of life. As a crystal of the day, aventurine encourages you to take an extra risk - it’s far, far more likely to go well.

e. Blue sodalite

Blue stones, especially sodalite, promote wisdom and intellectual strength. As a crystal of the day, blue sodalite encourages you to gather all the facts before proceeding.

f. Amethyst

Purple stones represent peace - and amethyst is one of the queen mothers of crystals. As a crystal of the day, amethyst discourages conflict, especially at home. It’s also used to recharge and cleanse other crystals after frequent use or when passing from one person or place to another.

g. Clear quartz

The other queen mother of crystals, quartz is excellent for warding against harmful spirits and negative energy. As a crystal of the day, clear quartz tells you to stay optimistic.

EXTRA: Rose quartz

Rose quartz, like other pink crystals, amplifies the gentle, loving, nurturing nature in humans and animals. Pale pink combined with the powerful protection of quartz crystal, rose quartz is ideal when placed along window sills and other openings to the home.

3. Additional items

There are many parts to a pagan altar. To complete your set-up effectively, let’s go over a few of the other basics.

a. Candles

The color of a candle, when it matches the color of your crystal(s), amplifies the effects. Above is my rose quartz pendant soaking in the light of a bright pink candle, amplifying my sense of peace and affection towards my family and theirs towards me. Even on its own, an open flame above colored oils and waxes carries heavy significance.

b. Tablecloth or tile

Also called a pentacle, the most common of which is the famous pentagram, or five-pointed star. They’re usually 2′x2′, and placed in the center of the altar for performing of rituals and spells. Although the pentagram is popular, it’s not completely necessary - anything with spiritual significance will suffice: moon phase tapestries, Tarot cloths or tiles, astrological glyphs, and so on. My talisman is a tablecloth covering the entire surface of my altar, with a sun-and-moon circled by the heavenly bodies in the center. It makes for easy organization/placement of my items, too.

c. Chalice or bowl (or both)

While there are many Wiccan rituals involving use of a chalice, I like to use mine for crystal waters and elixirs. Some hear the word chalice and picture a luxurious, ornate cup befitting of the Messiah, but really, all you need is something that can hold liquid. I use translucent, reflective glass set atop a reflective plate so that the contents will better absorb the light.

d. Caldron

Most commonly used for burning incense and mixing potions. Incense can be used for blessings, rituals, and spells, but I most frequently use my caldron for burning sage (more on that later). PS: I bought both the above-mentioned items at the local Goodwill. There’s no need to bust your budget on your altar. :)

e. Dried herbs or plants.

Some pagans decorate their space with live plants, but I always end up killing mine, so I stick with the stuff that’s already supposed to be dead. Sage is my first choice because of its cleansing properties. (Be warned, though; it smells exactly like weed.)

f. Storage

It helps to keep a small chest, box, or lidded dish for storing your crystal and stones when you’re not using them. I also like to keep additional crystals in drawstring bags on a shelf for easy organization with small vials for elixirs.

4. Organize!

Now that you have all your items in order, it’s time to get set up!

Each of the four directions represents one of the four basic elements: North / Earth, South / Fire, West / Water, East / Air. Place a red candle facing south and a green candle opposite, and a blue candle west and a white or yellow candle opposite. Candle holders and displays are optional, just so long as you’re careful not to make a waxy mess.

The rest of the set-up is completely up to you!

As an example, here’s a complete image of mine:

In the dead-center is an amethyst for constant cleansing and rejuvenation of all other items; beneath it is clear quartz pointing inward. I switched my green candle with turquoise for an intellectual boost. Above the amethyst is a Celtic cross talisman, symbolic of my Irish-Celtic roots.

You might be thinking, Great, where am I gonna get all this crap? It’s surprising how affordable these things can be. I mentioned before that I bought my caldron, chalice, and bowl at Goodwill. I got a few of the candle holders at the thrift shop, a few at Target for $1-3, and the fancier ones at Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby is also where I buy most of my candles. (How ironic that a Christian-owned business has been supplying my pagan needs, eh?) The table is from Walmart, the tablecloth from Amazon. Altogether, the entirety of my altar cost maybe $100 over the course of a couple months.

A few last-ditch tips:

Avoid clutter.

If you’re not using it for rituals or spells, keep it off the altar.

Prioritize your items by importance.

And last but not least, if you have a cat, you will not be able to keep him/her off your table. Believe me, I’ve tried. Everything.

Anyway, I hope you found this post helpful and/or interesting, and I wish you all blessings and good fortune in your own spiritual journeys.

~ Gail

notes 1

I am slogging through this first chapter of ISA Study Guide because it is the textbook for class and also it is just basic info that I should already know. Also it's made doubly painful by the fact that I read this chapter last summer (or at least I moved my eyes across the words) and yet each fact is a new fact to me.

BUT NOW. I have quarantined myself at Xo's house and I must read this chapter and take notes on it and also finish my homework for class which I will undoubtedly be able to do once I finish reading this. I will not default to my high school ways of reading the book in search of the answers to the homework questions. I will actually read the book.

I will now make an outline of what I have learned so far, and then read, and then repeat. Earlier I was reading two pages and I fell asleep.

Chapter 1: Tree Biology - Tree anatomy

Cells and Tissues: - There's meristematic cells which is like these cells can become anything and then they differentiate and form different parts of the tree. Meristematic cells include the ones where it makes the tree taller (primary growth) and the ones where it expands the tree and makes it wider (secondary growth). Oh also there's two cambiums, the regular one and the cork cambium which makes bark.

Xylem and Phloem and all the other bits inbetween. - Xylem is made of dead cells and is inside the cambium. It consists of trachieds and vessels and parenchyma cells. Oh I forgot fibers. Also gymnosperms apparently don't have vessels? Why? Xylem conducts water and nutrients up and down the tree. The wood of a tree is xylem. Vessels in it can be ring-porous (bigger vessels earlier in season and smaller vessels later in season thus forming "rings") or diffuse-porous (occurring evenly throughout the wood). - Phloem is alive and on the outside of the cambium and when it dies it becomes part of the bark. It conducts carbohydrates up and down the tree. - Also important is ray cells which move things from inside to outside the diameter of tree.

Stems - They consist of nodes and internodes. Nodes are places where buds and leaves can emerge. Internodes are the space between the nodes. Buds can be latent/adventitious which means they emerge later. In one of the Ed Gilman videos he showed "bud trace" which was showing the latent bud at the surface of the bark at each year the tree was growing. Buds are terminal/apical if they are at the tip of the shoot, and lateral/axillary if they are along the shoot. If you mess with the apical one you can interrupt apical dominance, which means that the apical bud prioritizes the most growth.

Leaves - They do photosynthesis in order to make carbohydrates for themselves. They also do transpiration which cools down the plant and also pulls water up thru the xylem because it is evaporating off the leaf (that's what cools it). It is like drinking with a straw except you are the evaporation.

Roots - Their functions include anchoring the tree, storing the carbohydrates, absorbing stuff from the soil, and conducting materials around the tree. The main roots are big and near the surface of the soil. The lateral roots are close to the surface. The sinker roots are ones that go straight down off the lateral roots. The absorbing roots are very fine and they do the absorption work. They grow where moisture and oxygen are. They have root tips which have meristematic tissue which allows them to continue growing. Roots unlike branches do not have hierarchy or taper. They just grow based on where they can maximize absorption.

- Tree Physiology or: What do trees do all day?

Photosynthesis - Trees convert light, carbon dioxide, and water into carbohydrates (and oxygen). They then store these "photosynthates" for consumption later.

Respiration - Trees use the carbohydrates and release carbon dioxide and water for energy that they need in order to do their biological functions.

Transpiration - Trees transpire to keep moving water/nutrients through itself. This also helps keep the tree cool by evaporation of water through the leaves. This can be regulated by stomata on the leaves.

Absorption - Trees use water by moving it through itself. It can take in water through the roots, because of osmosis. The water potential in the roots is lower than in the soil, so the water will move from soil to roots. Sometimes the water potential in the roots is not lower than in the soil, such as when the soil has a lot of salinity. Then the water will move from the roots into the soil and the tree will suffer.

Translocation - Trees move the photosynthates that it made through the phloem. There are different areas in the tree that have a lot of photosynthate, and those that have little (use a lot of energy). The tree distributes the photosynthate accordingly. - In addition to using the phloem, trees can also move photosynthate via the ray cells.

Growth - Growth is determined by both genetic potential and also environmental conditions, which may or may not allow the tree to use that genetic potential. - Other things that influence growth are plant hormones, which regulate the amount of growth of roots/shoots, and also the direction of growth (tropisms). - Genetics also determine if a tree's growth habit is excurrent (strong central leader) or decurrent (more rounded shape, not so much having a central leader).

Defend itself - CODIT: the 4 walls that a tree forms if a pathogen is encountered. - Wall 1: Xylem plugs up to prevent vertical spread - Wall 2: Cells along the growth rings fill with chemicals to prevent inward spread - Wall 3: Ray cells do something to resist spread around the trunk (form a pie wedge) - Wall 4: New growth happens which protects the cambium and future growth. - Even though Wall 4 is the best at preventing spread of decay, it can form structural weakness like cracks or "shakes" wtf is a shake.

- Tropical Trees and Palms

Tropical trees are very different from hardwood/coniferous (temperate region) trees. For one, they may not have annual growth rings because they may grow based on wet/dry seasons rather than year, or maybe they continuously grow. Secondly, they may not go into dormancy. Additionally, they have weird forms and plant parts.

Palms are also different from hardwood/coniferous trees because they are monocots. This means they do not have cambium in rings and they do not have secondary growth. Their vascular system is comprised of bundles, which they accumulate early in their growth. I did not know that palms generally increase in width before they increase in height. They also have one apical bud per stem, which is the growing point. This is usually hidden by their leaves. If this is severed, that stem of the palm will die. (I forgot that palms can have multiple stems.) The roots of palms are also different. Their roots originate from the base of the stem, known as "root initiation zone," and they are probably like grass roots in that they are all the same width and whatnot.

OK I FINISHED THE CHAPTER FINALLY Why is it so hard for me to read textbooks. Okay now I have to rewatch the lecture videos and take more notes on them.

Week 2 Lecture

Shoots: Node/Internode - On a shoot where the leaves have fallen off, how do you know if a section of it is node or an internode? What if it's a latent bud? How could you be sure??

Ok it basically just reviews what I typed in my outline above except less good and more haphazard due to audience questions lol. I may just read the book and zone out during the class. God how quickly I revert to my old ways.

Check out the best silicon-free shampoo I have ever used

What is a silicone-free shampoo?

We all know that most of the shampoos on the market contain silicon. Many statements indicate that silicon in shampoo is the culprit of hair loss. There are countless propaganda about silicone-free shampoo overnight. In fact, there are many causes of hair loss, such as congenital inheritance, seborrheic alopecia caused by endocrine disorders, seasonal changes, work, stress, and even postpartum physiological hair loss. However, after personal experimentation, I personally use silicon-free than silicone-containing comfort, and the amount of hair drop is significantly reduced.

But silicon-free care has become a popular trend, and many problems have followed, which is a series of problems that can cause dry itch and dry itching. As Japan, the origin of silicon-free, most Japanese silicon-free companies are small factories with small factories from unknown names. Even the production information is inaccessible, which is very worrying~

The following products are used by people in their rankings.

Schwarzkopf 8 Golden Pure Run Silicone Essential Oil Series Schwarzkopf is the world's first developer of shampoo and has always loved it!

In fact, it is easy to take off a component for a product, but how to keep the original while removing the ingredient, the effect of nourishing the hair is difficult. Only the big brands that have been tempered for a hundred years can do this, and Schwarzkopf of Germany once again exerts the power of black technology. It is rich in 8 kinds of plant essential oils, which can effectively deal with various hair problems.

▼ Sense of use: After use, the scalp has a long-lasting oil control and the hair is particularly fluffy and three-dimensionally light. Every time after washing, it is like just taking care, the taste is super good, and the price is super high! highly recommended!

Shiseido not old forest shampoo Suitable hair quality: Postpartum hair loss / seasonal off

Shiseido's shampoo line, which promotes hair growth, is very surprising. It is constantly being updated. Now there is a pink bottle for ladies. I use the old black bottle.

The ingredients contain the newly developed drug substance adenosine (Adenosine), which is a nucleic acid DNA component developed by Shiseido over the years. It is found that Japanese brands really value the development of ingredients, for example, Pitera in SK-II fairy water. .

▼Sense of use:

The shampoo is milky white, the texture is thicker and thicker, so don't worry about dropping it when you are in the bubble. After washing, it is relatively moisturized. Even if you don't use conditioner, it won't feel dry. After drying, it is very fluffy. After using about two bottles, there are a lot of small fluff and small broken hair growing out. The situation of a lot of hair loss is much better.

It is a very functional shampoo, postpartum hair loss, seasonal hair loss, sparse hair, and soft people are very good.

Rene Furterer Shampoo Suitable hair quality:

Hair soft / oily hair / easy to lose hair

The Chinese name is: 馥绿德雅, French brand, there are counters in domestic shopping malls. French friends said that every time she goes to the drug store, there are always a lot of purchases, locals, tourists buying this shampoo, often out of stock. The shampoo is a pale green translucent gel texture with small green particles suspended in it, containing orange, lavender and rosemary essential oils.

▼ Use: This bottle is very fresh, a bit like a grapefruit with a lemon flavor, very planty. After the hair is wet, gently pour the shampoo on your hands and apply it to your hair. The green particles will gradually absorb with the massage and rubbing of the hair and scalp.

This is because the main silicone oil, oil control and anti-off. So after washing, there are still some dry, no silicone oil shampoo or good shampoo: the hair is very clean, but the hair is smooth and fluffy.

KLORANE shampoo Suitable hair quality:

Scalp fragile/easy hair loss

The Chinese name is: Luo Luolan. This is the best-selling shampoo brand in France, just like the above-mentioned 馥绿德雅. It seems that France has a lot of anti-hair shampoo and products. Is it because the water quality in France is hard and it is easy to cause hair loss? The ingredients added with cinchona tree extract (quinine) and vitamin B (B5, B6, B8) cinchona have the effect of stimulating cell regeneration. The effect of dimension B is self-evident.

▼Sense of use:

The texture is relatively thin, with a hint of herbal flavor, and it smells a little bit of Chinese herbal medicine. It is the same as the green deya shampoo above. Because it is a pure plant extracting low-foaming shampoo, it will feel hair after washing. It's very dry, but it doesn't feel rough at all. Instead, it will slowly feel that the hair becomes more tough, and the hair that is lost after blowing is less and less. The dry hair girl can be used together with the conditioner. But no silicone oil shampoo is like this: dry and healthy.

I have bought 10 bottles of 馥绿德雅 and 蔻罗兰, which are used alternately. The hair is very stable, strong and shiny.

Moroccanoil Moroccan Oil Shampoo Suitable hair quality:

All hair/damaged hair is a full-featured shampoo with a very good feel. It is divided into four series:

Repair Spontaneous Repair: Suitable for dyeing damaged hair and repairing hair.

Volume is full and fluffy: suitable for thin, soft and less hair, which can make hair strong and fluffy.

Hydration: Suitable for dry and dehydrated hair.

Smooth and smooth series: suitable for hairy hair, smooth and smooth.

▼Sense of use:

In fact, this brand of hair care oil is the most famous, here is its shampoo series, all Moroccanoil products contain argan oil, also added avocado oil, keratin, rosemary, lavender, chamomile And extracts such as jojoba. It is a baptism of scalp and hair love. The texture is a thick white liquid with a rich aroma of Middle Eastern flavour. After washing, the hair is fluffy and moist, the scalp is refreshing and not greasy. It is suitable for the general hair, the girl who pursues the fluffy effect. To tell the truth, in order to pursue the fluffy effect, I will continue to perm. It is really worth the money and hurt the body. It is better to buy it. ! By the way, the Moroccan hair care essential oil with it can be invincible.

Philip B Mint Avocado Rich and Clear Shampoo Suitable hair quality: All hair / oily hair Forbes commented: "Using Philip B to maintain hair is one of the 100 things worth the most money." Explain that the price is not beautiful, but after doing homework, it is gorgeous and planted. This bottle contains 2.3% pure peppermint oil and a variety of botanical extracts. It is a comprehensive and comprehensive shampoo: oil control, repair, tough hair, and create a fluffy feeling.

▼ Use feeling: Mint tastes very strong, the scalp feels particularly cool, it is very suitable for summer use, the foaming effect is the same as that of Green Deya and Dylan, the bubble rate is not high, the foam is full of delicate. This is similar to low-foam cleansing, indicating that the ingredients are mild. This oil control effect is very obvious, the oil head must try, the hair quality is dry, please cooperate with the hair conditioner, their family's white truffle care series is also very worthwhile to start, the price is not beautiful, let me use the light home The shampoo and the goods will start again.

A lot of girls will put a lot of money on the perm hair dye, in fact, you can spend a part of the shampoo to buy, which will help you open a new world. In addition, shampoo is only the effect of external repair, the real good hair can not be separated from the internal conditioning, staying up late, frequent dyeing hot, unhealthy diet is the real killer of hair loss, dryness, oil head.

Horticultural science is the investigation of both science and natural chemistry which are essential in agrarian creation, the preparing of homemade items into nourishment and drinks, and in ecological checking and remediation.

Online Agricultural Chemistry Help

Agricultural Chemistry is the science that involves the production of food, and drinks from the raw material which are obtained from plants. It is a mixture of two studies biochemistry and simple chemistry. This study focuses on the interaction between human beings, animals, environment, and microorganisms such as bacteria which are beneficial for the soil.

In 1840, when studies on fertilizers were going on then a publication on organic chemistry in its applications to agriculture and physiology brought significant changes in the field of agricultural studies.

Nitrogen is an important nutrient for soil this discovery of Liebig’s is one of the biggest achievements in the history of agriculture science. Earlier fertilizers that were being used compost and it is made up of degraded material that is dumped inside the soil. In twentieth-century composting was considered as one of the most utilized fertilizer techniques.

Then it was found that ammonia is one of the suitable fertilizers for soil. Haber and Bosch establish a reaction to produce ammonia and pressurize nitrogen to form ammonia.

Applications:

•          To increase the knowledge about the cause and effect of chemical reactions and to control those side effects which have a direct impact on plant growth.

•          To develop disease-resistant plants, herbicides, pesticides to save the plants from bacteria.

[goldhirsch]

                                                    to-day will die to-morrow;                                                  time stoops to no man’s lure...

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒

      a twenty-three year old, jewish, french-canadian entering his junior year at lockwood double majoring in human physiology and psychology with hopes of becoming a professional physical therapist in the nhl, a path inspired by his own struggle (and continued struggle) to physically and mentally recover from a serious injury ; plays defense for the men’s ice hockey team and was named the captain for this season ; a gentle jock most people would consider the mom friend of the group, though he has experienced a deeply tragic loss and has plenty that he still keeps close to his chest.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘

( general tw for a bit of mental instability / depression ; this will likely be alluded to in threads as well )

— jason was born jason cadoc cloutier in gatineau, qc but that didn’t last all that long. by the time he was two, his father was out of the picture and he and his mother took back her maiden name of goldhirsch. it was for the BEST, really. jason never really missed his father, hadn’t been old enough to miss him and his mother was a rock and his idol. when he was nine, his mother met a new man and eventually they married and moved to saguenay where he would spend the latter part of his childhood growing up.

— his mother signed him up for hockey when he started to get too rambunctious for a single mother to handle, and he took to the ice like all good canadian parents hope their children will. it also became a critical bonding point with his stepfather as well when he entered the picture.

— his talent on the ice was undeniable, no generational talent by any means, but he was extremely good at what he did. it started becoming more obvious as he hit bantam and then midget levels, eventually getting drafted 10th overall to the rouyn-noranda huskies of the quebec major junior hockey league ( qmjhl ) in the 2014 qmjhl draft. it was then that the whispers started and that tiny percentage of hope at the pipedream that was the nhl started to grow. there he played for two years, establishing himself as a top-pair defenseman by his second season despite his young age. that season ( 2015-16 ) they won the regular season title in the qmjhl and went on to play for the memorial cup though ultimately they lost. that off-season, he was taken 16th overall by arizona in the 2016 nhl entry draft ( sry jakob chychrun ). he returned to the huskies the season after being drafted to continue to develop.

( begin car accident & death & injury tw )

— his third season with the huskies was off to a strong start. by february, he was already setting career highs in points for the season & was gaining ‘defensive maturity’, and the team was on pace for another regular season title. they were gearing up for a deep run in playoffs when disaster struck. on the bus for a set of away games, the ride started like any other until a tractor trailer t-boned the bus causing it to flip several times. the bus crumpled like a soda can. jason’s memory of the moment is still pretty fuzzy ; that’s probably for the best. the result of the crash could only be described as carnage : too many dead, others critically injured. jason had been at the front of the bus talking to one of the coaches when the collision happened — that probably saved his life and allowed him to escape with relatively minimal injuries, despite shattering his lower left leg and fracturing his right.

( end tw )

— news of the crash shook the hockey community, the huskies decimated and season obviously over. jason faced months of physical therapy and grappled with the idea he may never skate again and the repercussions of that on his lifelong dream to play in the nhl, on top of the grief at the loss of so many teammates he’d come to see as BROTHERS.

— he remembers little about those months, even less than he does the crash, but he knows that was without a doubt the lowest point in his life. they put a metal rod in his right femur and another in his left tibia, but it wasn’t the physical aspect he struggled the most with, but the mental. his physical recovery could be described as a miracle. he was driven to prove his doctors wrong, to make a full recovery and play again — and come end of summer, he could even skate again and he did, but in the absence of a million doctor’s and physical therapy appointment, the mental aspect reared up and proved to be much harder to overcome. first it was the nightmares, then it was the shaking in his hands even before he stepped foot on the ice, worst of all was the panic attack after he dropped the puck at iamgold arena on opening night to symbolize new beginnings or some shit : the memories, the guilt, the pain… he couldn’t play again. how could he ??

— he retreated back into himself, picked up some menial and mind numbing minimum wage job at tim hortons if only to get his mind off things and him out of his house per his mother’s pushing. more push and pull with his mother finally came to a head and he conceded to therapy, which slowly and non-linearly eventually did start to help. he went for walks in the cold, crisp dawn and eventually thinking about hockey didn’t hurt so much. winter faded back into spring. the first anniversary of the crash passed painfully. summer arrived in all her bright glory. and in those weeks, those months, jason truly started to piece himself back together ( not just physically ) and a new path for himself slowly revealed itself.

— jason had always been smart enough, doing decent in school but college had never been at his forefront, even with a mother who was a professor. but now it was like it was the only option forward, a new opportunity, and a new path to journey down. he prepared his applications, labored over his essay ( a small talent for memoir revealing itself ), and then submitted his applications and waited. he was rejected by a few, accepted by more, and then came the acceptance notification from lockwood university and a phone call from their men’s hockey coach. players from the chl ( from professional leagues aka leagues where players receive pay or a stipend ) aren’t typically allowed to play in the ncaa, but they could get an exception for him and his circumstances. he eventually accepted his offer from lockwood, though he said a pretty strongly worded no to the hockey team.

— but the thought had been put back into his head, and with his therapist urging him to face his fears and get back on the horse or some shit, jason did finally start seriously skating again. and he eventually found that beneath that compressed pain and guilt, he truly just missed the sport and even though his lifelong dream was hardly feasible anymore, he missed it in his life. hockey had been everything to him once, and he had to find who he was without it — but hockey was still integral, still important, something he wanted and not just because it was all he knew.

— lockwood’s coach was persistent, though jason was hardly willing to make any commitment, he finally did take up the offer to come to the first week of pre-season summer practices. they say a lot of things are like riding a bike, but for jason getting back into hockey and the game was just like tapping into those years and years old instinct and muscle memory. soon enough summer was ending, classes were starting, and two years after he last played an official season, jason goldhirsch had finally found a new team.

— and the rest, as they say, is history.

𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐂.

— jason lives in a rented off-campus house a three minute walk away from the hockey arena, which makes it the perfect place to stay when you consider all those morning skates and practices. he lives with three of his teammates ( 4 of them living there altogether ), all fellow juniors and seniors. the house has been “passed down” through ( aka continuously rented by ) several classes of lockwood men’s hockey team members and is often the hub for all team parties, making it known somewhat unofficially around campus as the hockey house. ( see the snapchat tab on jason’s theme to get the vibe.... honestly they’re dumb and stoopid ).

— he lived in the dorms for his freshman and sophomore year, but opted for the house as he wanted a real kitchen that wasn’t shared with like... the entire building or whatever.

— he also owns a black cat named kraken, a token from his healing process after the accident ; an emotional support animal who’d been critical in that first year after, originally prescribed to help him with insomnia and ensuing nightmares. she’s also quite fond of water, something jason is quite entertained by it. kraken’s emotional support aspect has waned a little as more time has passed and jason has begun to heal, though he still takes solace in her company. she’ll often perch on his shoulders while he does homework and sleeps with him at night. she still aids him through panic attacks and will wake him at night if she senses him in distress. this cat adores him and you can tell.

— jason watches the sun rise every day without fail unless he’s completely passed out. it’s both a reminder that each day isn’t given and a homage to those who no longer are around to see it rise.

— he doesn’t own an awful lot, and though he might try to pass it off as ‘ minimalism ’ the truth is there isn’t an awful lot in his room to personalize it. he does have a few plants in his room though, because he likes the idea of taking care of something and it gives him a sense of control ( more on this later ).

— his hands don’t shake as much as they used to, though now it’s usually a precursor to a panic attack. he’s tried to take that in stride as much as he can, in an attempt to prevent or mitigate them as much as possible.

— he’s fluent in québécois french bastard french as well as english given he spent his entire life in quebec before coming to maine for college. he’s “accentless” in both languages having grown up speaking both. he is also jewish like his mother, can speak halting yiddish and could survive speaking german if he really had to. a close friend has also been teaching him swiss german.

— however, jason has struggled with his faith the past few years ; the tragedy of the crash has shaken his idea of a higher power. however, he still participates and enjoys the sense of community that comes with faith. this is something that’s also been picked apart pretty meticulously in his therapy sessions.

— attends counseling / therapy biweekly or at least every month still. though the accident is quite a few years in the past now, jason still struggles at times. healing is a slow and non-linear process and he is no different.

— he doesn’t like coffee, but he drinks hot chocolate out of a tim hortons thermos for Clout.

— he acts like he’s impervious to the cold even though he isn’t. a bitch refuses to wear more than the hoodie. but to be fair he did grow up in sagueney.

— his skills in the kitchen are actually quite impressive. he can cook very well and enjoys cooking for his friends, which comes as a surprise to some. he often finds cooking to be “productive procrastination.” that being said, mediocre at baking at best unless it’s boxed brownies.

— also he is pescatarian and keeps a pretty lax form of kosher, though being pescatarian in general cuts down on the complexity ( eg. keeping diary and meats separate ). for him it’s mostly avoiding shellfish and other non-scaly seafood, and isn’t terribly strict on eggs and diary products being kosher. he does keep all his cooking things in his own cupboard and won’t let others use them if they’re cooking meat. he isn’t against cooking things with meat for others, though he still doesn’t use pork ( sry no bacon, friends ) and often still keeps meat and dairy products separate.

— his favorite takeout food is tofu pad thai ; his favorite to cook is salmon and asparagus

— smells…. cold ?? think pine trees covered in snow.

— jason has a knack for languages and is learning swiss german from his friend sebastian who he met at the u18 world juniors in switzerland. they have a friendship they’ve kept ever since. it’s not uncommon to hear him on the phone stumbling through conversation in swiss german.

— he’s a bit claustrophobic. it’s something he supposes surfaced in the aftermath of the attack, this extends to buses and planes and probably the reason he dislikes flying so much. he hates the feeling of being trapped or the sensation that he could be trapped — perhaps tied to the rising importance of control in his life. no one lock him in a closet, i think he’d freak out.

— he reads a decent amount, a newer post-accident development. prior, he used to sleep on the lengthy bus rides, but he finds it difficult to do so after the accident. he also found his mind still tended to wander when he watched movies or shows, therefore he’s ended up reading quite a bit, any and all subjects — some pertaining to his studies, plenty that don’t. he owns a kindle paperwhite that he doesn’t travel without.

— he is a cancer ( JUNE 21st, summer solstice baby ) and i read this one cancer analyzation thingy and it was like “ dislikes : strangers, criticism of mom, and revealing personal life ” and i just want to say that’s…. spot on.

— while he’s almost always in attendance at parties, it’s more to keep an eye on his friends than to really participate himself. it’s not uncommon for him to nurse the same one or two bottles of beer throughout the entire night. at the same time he’s not exactly a downer and definitely doesn’t look down on those who have fun ; he’ll just have his fun sober — ironically, this may tie into his need for control, despite the fact he knows that getting drunk could also maybe numb the pain.

— human physiology ( the study of the human body ) & psychology ( the study of the mind and behavior ) : it seems like an unlikely combination of majors, but during the year and a half of re-calibrating his life and coming to the realization he needed a NEW dream, jason learned a few things ; one of them being that recovery is as much mental as it is physical. he chosen these two majors in hopes of becoming a professional physical therapist someday. he hopes he can take his own struggle to return from injury physically and mentally and turn it into a source of empathy for him in the future.

— jason is a defenseman and was recently named the captain of the team for the upcoming season. at the height of his elite prospect status, he was a highly coveted offensive defenseman with incredible skating skills and a hockey IQ off the charts. he could drive a game from the blueline and break up the other team’s offensive plays before they even happened. he is based ( play-wise ) on a combination of cale makar and mario ferraro. post-accident jason is not quite the same player, though no one hardly expected him to be after his long hiatus. his agility and skating ability suffered the greatest, though he has slowly been working at getting that back over the past couple years and is getting to a reasonably comparable point. he’ll likely never get to the place he was. it’s also a huge issue of if his body could handle the fatigue and stress of a heavily athletic life ; it’s alright for now, but professional is almost certainly out of the question. his hockey iq bounced back the quickest, and in the wake of the accident, he’s seen himself step into more of a teaching and mentoring role, part of what makes him a good captain. his teammates respect him greatly, and not just because of what he’s been through. ( detailed timeline of the teams he’s been on HERE. ).

— jason uses a CAGE instead of a plexiglas fishbowl or hybrid shield because the two latter make him feel super claustrophobic. definitely misses the freedom that comes with #visorlife which he’s familiar with from his last year in the chl, but them’s the rules. ( for those who aren’t familiar, the american collegiate hockey at all levels requires full facial coverings regardless of age, unlike professional and national teams which allow the use of a visor once the player turns 18 ). 

— also while we’re on ncaa hockey, there’s also super super strict rules against fighting which include automatic game ejections and subsequent game suspensions. after your first fight of the season you’re suspended for the next game, after your second fight of the season you’re suspended for the next two games, and so on — considering there’s only a maximum 34 of games in a college season ( not including conference tournaments and the ncaa tournament ), you very much want to avoid game suspensions. this means fighting is actually quite rare in the ncaa. ( but this doesn’t mean there still aren’t scrums around the net or after the whistle : pushing and shoving and chirping and yelling and general feistiness, y’know ).

— jason knows he’s quite lucky to be alive and to have returned to hockey, but part of him laments that he was never able to participate in the world junior championship ( the main one aka u20 ) and get an opportunity to play for gold there. it’s definitely the dream of everyone who plays youth hockey in canada, and jason would have likely been named to the team in 2017 and/or 2018 if the accident hadn’t happened. it’s not something he dwells on, but during his necessary time off to recovery seeing wjc highlights everywhere certainly took a toll on him ( though looking back now he can see it helped in his healing process ).

— he realized he was bisexual when he was sixteen, freshly moved away from home and living with a billet family. everything felt so open and free and he was able to explore a few things. this is a fact he’s kept mostly to himself in the years that followed, at first concerned with his future in the nhl, and then just because he’s had bigger things to worry about since then. it’s not exactly a secret now, though he’s not openly vocal about it and is a pretty private person in general. you might see some guys leaving his room occasionally or him getting chatted up by all sexes at parties, people can make of that whatever they want, though likely the default assumption as it is for most male athletes is that he is straight. in general, he isn’t all that interested in pursuing romantic relationships as he recognizes he’s still not emotionally healed and prepared for that.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘

— he’d always been one to know just what others needed — even before the accident. that life event maybe nudged a few more buried traits forward though, replacing the urge to use that knowledge for his own gain and instead use it to HELP others. the past two years have seen jason grow into a full-fledged mom friend : always the most sober at parties, always the one with the bandaids, always the one leaving aspirin and water on his friends’ desks. no one’s really sure of everything he keeps in his backpack, but it does always seem that he has exactly what someone needs at exactly the right time. a running joke on the hockey team that they call him “mom” ?? probably alsdkjflaskdjf.

— it’s not really surprising jason was named captain of the team, either. sure, he was an inspiring story, and sure, he was still pretty decent at hockey even with two metal rods in his legs, but the coaches saw more than just that when they gave him the C. it was the guy in the locker room with always the right thing to say second intermission still down two, the guy on the bench who knew how to get a rookie who deflected an own goal his confidence back, the guy who stayed late to help the backup goalie solve the problem with his blocker side save. captaincy isn’t all about scoring goals and fancy dekes : it’s about heart and moral fiber and leading by example ; there’s a reason it’s not always the best player on the team that gets the captaincy.

— since the accident, jason has become far more controlling. some people might take a life or death situation like that as a sign to live in the moment, but jason is not one of them. he still feels his life spun so far out of his control in that year and a half and never wants to experience that again. because of that he controls as much as he possibly can, from his appearance, to the way people perceive him, to the confines of his suite and dorm. as a result, he’s a neat freak, always having things meticulously organized. when he’s stressed he cleans and organizes — it can be his stuff, it can be a friend’s, it can be a complete stranger’s. deep down he knows there’s not much he could’ve done to prevent the accident, but that doesn’t stop him from at least trying to create the illusion he can control everything in his life.

— a facet of control is perhaps an over-protective nature. he was wary of getting close to people upon entering lockwood, but keeping people at arm’s length never was his strong suite. he cares very deeply for his friends and teammates, and has an almost irrational fear of losing them. it’s a fine line between control and being willing to do anything to keep the people he loves safe.

— jason still struggles with survivor’s guilt. the fact that a simple choice of just where he sat on the bus determined his life or death completely freaks him out. the gravity of his loss, the empty spaces left by so many absent friends, didn’t hit all at once — it was gradual until it was a stifling weight he feels like he can’t bare some days. he’s still in therapy to deal with his internal thoughts, though it was originally a huge struggle to get him to go. besides his therapist, he doesn’t like to let many other people privy to his thoughts, especially those surrounding the accident. he won’t tell people what happened, though some may be aware from the news or just word of mouth.

— it’s been a long time since jason has given much attention to matters of the heart, but in love, jason is just as caring and protective as he is with his friends ( truly just “two” by sleeping at last to a T 😔😔😔 ), perhaps even to a high degree. some part of him is driven by that survivor’s guilt that still struggles with the idea of being happy, but he also strongly feels that he just isn’t ready to date or enter a relationship again. he is someone who values his friendships greatly and is more than content with that — and some no-strings-attached sex if it comes to it. falling in love, though, he’s starting to think that isn’t for him and honestly he has no interest in making an attempt to figure out if it is. however, some view jason as a bit of a “player,” but the truth is lesbians simply flock to him for protection from campus creeps.

— despite all these internal thoughts, jason still manages to present himself in a fairly positive manner. he’s good at pretending he’s fine, already been one to keep his true emotions close to his chest even before the accident though it might not have been obvious to see given his overall friendliness. he doesn’t want his tragedy to define him, though it has undeniably changed his life.

𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄

— 6′2″ ( 193 lbs ), a pretty strong build

— tan skin, dark brown hair, trimmed short on the sides and styled longer on top like SO.

— STYLE : jason is practically a walking cliche of male college athlete style. he tends to prioritize function and comfort over looks and boy does it show. his day-to-day look doesn’t fluctuate much : a never-ending revolving door of fitted t-shirts and athletic shorts that occasionally touch on the side of slightly too short and tight, slimcut joggers and pants with sweatshirts when it gets cold. in general, he doesn’t own that many clothes, and ones he does often look quite similar to each other. his outwear of choice is definitely just hoodies all the time. if he’s wearing a real jacket, it really must be cold. or he’s sick.

— he wears a rectangular silver pendent on a chain almost always. it belonged to a particularly close friend & teammate he lost in the crash.

— tattoos : lit candle ( inside right wrist ), stag with a crown ( left outside shoulder ), jack g’s butterfly ( outside left forearm )

— he has several small scars, most from glass and metal during the crash, as well as one on his right thigh and lower left leg from his surgeries. on occasion he will walk with a slight limp, especially when he’s tired or it’s especially cold and damp out.

(Ir)rational investing

Summary

Human beings are generally not rational, and as an extension of that, they often do not make sound choices.

Emotions do have a place in successful investing.

Our emotions are all-encompassing and need to be acknowledged in our investment-making decisions.

 INVESTORS (AND HUMAN BEINGS) ARE NOT ALWAYS RATIONAL

In particular, those who invest purely on how they feel emotionally about an investment, not an objective assessment by a trained analyst, a witty television personality like Jim Cramer, or even a Wall Street Journal article with a certain hell-bent opinion on your garden variety S&P 500 sector. And the fact that many of our decisions in life are based on our emotions, it can be extrapolated that many investment decisions are driven by emotions as well.  To be sure, ad nauseum, this could be seen in the late 1990's and early 2000’s when by the mere fact that a particular company had a presence on the Internet, which was still considered a new and exciting idea, meant that it was worthy of huge commitments of capital both by retail and institutional investors alike (yawn).

The psychology of rational and irrational investing lies in some concepts such as fight or flight.  Or, more specifically, our adrenal glands which help regulate our response to stress.  An awareness of the fight-flight-freeze response, and thus how our adrenaline helps and hinders our judgements, is important on so many levels, inside and outside of the daily grind of the stock market.  For example, how you deal with your temperamental ten year old not wanting to do his homework every night or trying nicely to ask your significant other to scooch over on the couch so you can stretch your legs a little more.  Both subtle, but real, examples of how we deal with our brimming emotions.  Fight or flight is an unconscious physiological reaction to stress. Basically, most of us are not always aware that we are reacting to external stimuli. At the office, whether it is someone we don’t care for walking by our desk, in the summer, an annoying yellow jacket buzzing around our head, or the dizzying daily events like seeing analysts’ reactions to disappointing guidance by Salesforce and then the stock plummeting 20 points after the session close. We react to these things in different ways, depending on the event, and depending on the person. For example, some folks do not care who walks by their desk at 9 am every morning or whether or not that person is someone they’d like to invite out for a drink after work. Others brood when a colleague of whom does not share the same political views about tax policy or climate change saunters past their cubicle with that same, annoying, shuffling walk at lunchtime every day. That is the essence of fight or flight. An event that causes an emotional disturbance due to our primal nature to save ourselves from being harmed or killed. Yep, that’s the one. When you’re watching Squawk Box one morning and Joe begins (again) to expound on why bond yields are headed upward, your fight or flight response could be: Hyperinflation! Oh geez, let me log on and sell 90% of my position in Tesla, move that into an Aggregate Bond Index fund, and put on a total return swap to hedge myself against a global depression. Is that rational? This investor doesn’t think so, but it’s all relative.

Other market watchers experience that same stimuli and react to it in different ways. It is likely due to a number of factors, including biology, nurture, and nature.  If you’ve been a trader since the 1980’s, your environment has conditioned you to experience stimuli such as this and have a certain, relatively muted, reaction. This could be said even in the event of a terrorist attack, another pandemic, or even a nuclear exchange (potentially). So, what some folks view as rational or irrational, others see it differently.  And rightly so.

Some may remember theGlobe.com which went public in November of 1998. The company was originally founded for programming the website itself. The day of the IPO the share price climbed from $9 to as high as $97, and at the end of the trading day, the company was valued at $840 million. The high valuation did not come from an objective or quantitative assessment. It was based on little more than the excitement and emotions investors had about making a quick buck based on a novel idea, with most not even knowing what the novel idea was, and to an even lesser extent, how the company was going to turn a profit. After the euphoria of the new Internet economy subsided, theGlobe.com stock eventually traded down to 10 cents a share in 2001, thus shrinking the valuation to a mere $4 million in the span of three years. Everyone knows that the dot-com bubble burst, the stock market crashed, and the S&P 500 index went negative for three consecutive calendar years from 2000 – 2002.  Conversely, who could've known the NASDAQ would rebound in 2003 and rise over 50%?  Probably more than you think.

This is not to say that factoring in emotions into investment decisions, or into life in fact, does not have its merits. In mid-2007 Apple released its first iPhone with a similar euphoria to the dot-com era.  The stock has since appreciated from a split-adjusted $5 per share to its current $116 price.  A great long term investment.  Is Apple the exception to the rule?  You could argue both sides.  Many will also remember a certain Mr. Blodget exclaiming that Amazon is on its way to $400 a share (gasp!).  That was December of 1998.  At the time, many said that would never happen and we're headed for a bubble, which we were.  However, we really couldn't have known at the time that Amazon's far reaching influence would include Wholefoods, a streaming service, and selling golden glass roses targeted towards Valentines Day.  And most know that although it took several decades, Amazon stock now trades around the $3,000 per share mark.  So, an extremely (or what seemed to be) emotionally-charged recommendation by a new analyst at the time, made many savvy long term investors a lot of money.  But not necessarily considered savvy investors at the time.  Cisco is a another dot-com survivor.  Their stock price declined 86% from its peak during the bust.  It currently trades at a 14x's multiple with a 3% dividend yield.  Hardly a high flyer.

We can agree on how important our emotions are in our personal lives.  We care deeply about our loved ones.  Some harbor distain for past and present politicians.  Depending on who you ask, is any of this productive? Or, just a plain waste of thought that lasts all of ten seconds.  

As we all know, the emotions leading up to the housing bubble and financial crisis of 2008 caused banks to lower their lending standards.  The bubble came from lenders and homebuyers thinking that real estate would always go up and the exuberance surrounding that.  If a home doubled in value in two years, would you buy it?  The resounding answer was "yes".  Same idea time and time again.  Ultimately real estate went down and the bubble burst. Many large lenders and small homeowners went bankrupt.  Moreover, the left over carnage resulting from our exuberance often goes unnoticed.  Nomadland is a recent movie that won best picture for drama at the Golden Globes.  During the opening it states that in 2011, due to a falloff in demand for sheetrock, a plant was closed in Empire, Nevada after 88 years.  Within six months, "the Empire zip code....was discontinued."  A tragedy for many of whom relied on real estate construction just to stay alive.

The reality is that most investors know they invest at the wrong times and for the wrong reasons, and still do it.  In The Behavior Gap - Simple Ways to Stop Doing Dumb Things with Money, by Carl Richards, the author states, "....friends and colleagues...know their impulses to buy and sell are dangerous."  And during market downturns, Mr. Richards opines, "It's okay to be scared, but it's a bad idea to act on your fear."  Fear may be our most important emotion when it comes to affecting our investing mindset.  How else do you account for such extreme market volatility?  Certainly part can be attributed to fear.  Fear is a byproduct of our fight-flight-freeze response.  Fear was essential to our ancestors for survival purposes.  Faced with a rattlesnake, our fear caused us to do something, instantaneously, preserve our lives, and perpetuate the human species.  A survival mechanism.  But is it still useful?  When it comes to investing, not so much.

So what can our emotions teach us about investing? If we're too exuberant, we can cause bubbles. If we are too fearful, we may burst bubbles.  Maybe too many of us watch too much CNBC (fact), and our emotions may get intensified sitting on the couch as helpless spectators.

The question for most of us? Where are our emotions taking us now?  Are we bubbling up at this very moment?  When is this bubble coming and what will be the focus?  Government debt?  Student loan debt?  According to some, maybe it's a Tesla bubble bursting.  The more we understand our own emotions and how they affect our daily functioning, the better our investing decisions will be.  Keep in mind that we're all different and many folks have the utmost control over their emotions.  Consequently, those who can do that will earn higher incremental returns and live a longer, healthier life, with more fruitful finances. -Neil

Hey all you college people looking at textbooks. Here’s your yearly reminder that if you don’t want to pirate books check used book store shops online and look for the edition just before the one you “need” for the class, then ask your professor if the previous edition is ok to use. Some might say yes, and if they do you’ll be saving anywhere from 50 dollars to 250 dollars. My plant biology text is 130 to rent used and 250 to buy new, the used last edition is 26 dollars to own. My animal physiology book is the same way, 150 new, 90 to rent used and 30 dollars to buy the used previous edition. Luckily neither of my professors are requiring online portions of the class, but if yours does, look into getting digital only editions, pirating it, or buying last edition and just buying the access code for the online homework. I’m using the last edition of my chem book which I bought a few years ago and just buying the online access for 30 bucks instead of spending 220 for the latest edition that came out this year. The only thing I haven’t found this works for are laboratory manuals. Either my professors can’t have me using the last edition because experiments are different, or the last editions are just a costly (if not more in some cases) than the current editions. Lab manuals are often times un-rentable too which blows when of them is 150 dollars new with no used copies available. For more popular classes check your school’s library. Occasionally they’ll have your textbook available to check out for an hour or so, or they’ll do one day check outs. This could also help you out if you’re short on cash.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY // Essential Oils 101 with Martha Stockhausen

Photo by Jen Fariello.  Essential oils — aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds —  once a niche interest, have now gone mainstream. While you’ll find them in a multitude of beauty and aromatic products, these complex substances go way beyond the role of smelling good. To learn more about how essential oils can have a positive influence on mind, body and spirit, Martha Stockhausen of The Frequency of Fragrance in Charlottesville, Virginia, shared her go-to Young Living oils. Whether you choose to diffuse, apply topically with a roller ball, or simply sniff straight from the bottle, there are a host of benefits — and you’ll smell good while you’re doing it.  

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT Essential oils are wonderful for emotional support as it can take as little as two seconds for the oil molecules to reach the limbic system of the brain after inhalation. “Our brains cannot be in fight or flight and relaxation mode at the same time,” Stockhausen reports. “So when we inhale an essential oil that has a calming effect on the amygdala, translating to a physiological response in our body.” The result is that we smell an oil and can almost immediately feel emotionally and physically calm. Below are the oils Stockhausen recommends for emotional support. 

Roman Chamomile: Because of its calming and relaxing properties chamomile has been used throughout the ages to calm fussy children and relieve occasional feelings of tension and stress in adults. It may soothe some of the emotional charge of irritability, and nervousness and may also be used to quell and clear the mind, creating an atmosphere of peace and patience. 

Ylang Ylang: Is an oil with a sweet, heady aroma, wonderful for balancing the emotions and inspiring feelings of self-love, confidence, joy, and peace. It’s calming and relaxing and may also help soothe feelings of anger and low self-esteem. 

Valor: This Young Living blend has been used to help empower the physical and spiritual bodies. A blend of oils that was used in baths by Greek soldiers preparing for battle, it helps us overcome fear and opposition so we can stand tall during adversity. It may help build confidence and self-esteem and Stockhausen refers to is as, “courage in a bottle.” Stockhausen diffuses it in the morning for her family to help them have emotional fortitude during the day, whether for test taking at school or a demanding day at the office.

PHYSICAL As well as providing emotional support, essential oils can be beneficial for physical issues. Here, Stockhausen delves into two common physical ailments that people most often turn to oils for — sleep support and physical discomfort. 

Sleep Support

Lavender: The most notable of oils for sleep support, lavender is calming, relaxing, and balancing both physically and emotionally. University of Miami researchers found that the inhalation of lavender essential oil increased beta waves in the brain, suggesting heightened relaxation. At bedtime lavender is great in an Epsom salts bath, in a diffuser, or even as a linen spray. Because it is gentle, it’s a favorite for children.  

RutaVaLa: This is a pre-diluted roller blend made of ruta graveolens, valerian, and lavender and it’s great for sleeptime. Ruta graveolens has long been used in South America to promote relaxation of the body and mind and soothe stressed nerves. Lavender is naturally calming and relaxing while valerian is well known for its sedative and relaxation properties. “I roll this on my wrists, and chest and behind my ears at bedtime,” Stockhausen shares.  “It’s especially great to apply when you wake-up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep.”

Tranquil: Another pre-diluted roller blend, this one contains lavender, cedarwood and Roman chamomile, all of which have been well documented as being effective in reducing restlessness, decreasing occasional anxiety and sadness and inducing calm feelings. This blend can be used anytime of day for relaxation and occasional stress relief, but Stockhausen especially likes to roll it on the bottom of her feet at night. 

Physical Discomfort

Copaiba: An oil from South America, Copaiba is a powerful and grounding oil, great for easing muscle tension and supporting the nervous system. It is is 39%-72% Beta-Caryophyllene, a chemical constituent that falls in the Terpene family and is also found in the cannabis plant, though it is non- psychoactive. Stockhausen notes that Copaiba Vitality is a secret weapon for fussy babies. You can apply a few drops undiluted to teeth and gums. 

Wintergreen: This refreshing and invigorating oil supports the muscular skeletal system and is ideal to add to lotions and ointments that are applied after physical activity. It includes the natural occurring constituent methyl salicylate, a synthetic version of which is commonly used in popular commercial products designed to soothe tight muscles. “I make a muscle rub with wintergreen, copaiba, peppermint and a coconut oil base,” Stockhausen says. “It’s perfect for sore muscles post-workout.” 

PanAway: This blend of wintergreen, helichrysum, and clove oils is wonderful for muscle and joint discomfort associated with sports and exercise or minor aches and pains of  everyday life. Peppermint is 25%-50% menthol which is cooling and also acts to increase circulation to the area supporting the body’s natural response to injury. Stockhausen rubs it on her neck and shoulders to relieve tired and tight muscles as well as her feet after a long walk.

Mental Alertness & Focus

Peppermint: Purifying and stimulating to the conscious mind, peppermint helps with energy, mental alertness, and focus. Research at the University of Cincinnati showed that inhaling peppermint essential oil increased the mental accuracy of students by up to 28%. “I diffuse it when I’m working or my kids are doing homework,” Stockhausen says. She also inhales when she’s tired but still needs peak performance, like during a tennis match or before teaching a class. “It wakes-up my brain and helps me focus.” 

Clarity: This blend promotes a clear mind and amplifies mental alertness. It increases energy when overly tired and brings greater focus to the spirit and mind. A primary oil in this blend is rosemary, which amplifies analytic and mental abilities. Stockhausen rubs Clarity on her neck and behind her ears when she’s feeling mentally foggy or needs to think clearly. It’s also great in a diffuser. 

Brain Power: Comprised of sandalwood, cedarwood, frankincense, melissa, blue cypress, lavender, and helichrysum, Brain Power promotes deep concentration, mental potential, and clarity. “I apply it to the back of my neck, throat, temples, or under the nose on a regular basis to keep my mind sharp,” Stockhausen says. 

PRAYER & MEDITATION

Essential oils have been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years to help calm the body, elevate the mind, and increase spiritual awareness. “If you have a regular prayer and meditation or yoga practice, these oils can be used to enhance your practice and increase your spiritual connection,” Stockhausen says. However, even applying them as part of a daily morning oil routine can bring the wearer a sense of calm and presence of mind to everyday life.

Frankincense: In biblical times, Frankincense was more valuable than gold and the aroma increases spiritual awareness, promotes meditation, and uplifts spirits. A powerful oil, it’s found in Young Living blends such as Awaken, Acceptance, Believe, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Harmony, Highest Potential, Humility, and Inspiration. “I like to put a drop on the top of my head every day, especially when I meditate,” Stockhausen reports. She also diffuses it with lavender. 

Sacred Mountain: This blend of black spruce, ylang ylang, balsam Canada, and cedarwood oil instills a sense of strength, empowerment, grounding and protection.  “I love to diffuse this or wear it on my wrists, thymus, and top of my head,” Stockhausen says. “I also love to add it to an Epsom salts bath for sweet relaxation and contemplation at the end of a hectic day.”

Gratitude: “The name of the blend says it all,” Stockhausen says. “Gratitude is designed to elevate, soothe, and foster a grateful attitude, something we all could use.” She likes to diffuse this uplifting oil to help the entire family get in the mindset of gratitude and she also likes to wears it over her heart.
