1. Apply thin layer of liquid liner 3. Curl Lashes if you like 2. Apply mascara 3. Place drop of glue on lash container (Duo Surgical Glue is best, you can get it at MAC or any drugstore) 4. Use back of tweezers to apply thin layer of glue to lash band, concentrating on the ends 5. Wait 20 seconds or so for glue to become tacky 6. Apply just above lashline, make sure ends stick 7. Use tweezer back to push lashes on and down so they are close to lashline 8. Add line of liquid liner over lashband to cover any glue and make it look seemless **Sorry theres like a little bit of glue on the lashes midway, but the glue dries clear so you can’t even see ** **EYESHADOW LOOK IS IRON MAN **
Japanese Knotweed is an invasive plant. It was brought to the United States from Japan via England as an ornamental plant – but then it got crazy. Japanese Knotweed is a bit like strawberries and a bit like chicken pox – once you get it going, it goes everywhere and doesn’t stop.
When a strawberry plant grows it has stems and leaves and fruit. One particular kind of stem is called a runner. It grows straight and long, without leaves, and when it gets heavy and falls over to the ground, it starts a new strawberry plant. From one plant many start growing in all directions.
However, with Japanese Knotweed this happens underground, and instead of runners it has rhizomes. They’re like runners that come off the roots. In fact, when you dig up a Japanese Knotweed plants, if you leave any part of the roots underground, these roots with the rhizomes can start growing a new plant. You thought you removed it, but you didn’t. Thus it’s on the invasive plants list.
However, Japanese Knotweed is a pretty special plant. It looks a bit like bamboo and tastes a bit like asparagus and rhubarb. What makes it special is its healthy nature. Knotweed is chock full of Vitamin C and Resveratrol. Resveratrol is the nutrient in red wine that scientists believe has the ability to extend life.
The ancient Chinese and Japanese thought so much of Japanese Knotweed, they used it to make a medicinal tea. In Japan that tea is called Itadori Tea. In the Northeast U.S., knotweed is used to make pies, and beekeepers produce knotweed honey.
Because it grows in any weather conditions, nutritional supplement makers have been harvesting it to make resveratrol supplements. If you see Polygonum Cuspidatum on the ingredients list – that’s it. That’s the scientific name for Japanese Knotweed.
The recipe for Itadori Tea, more information about Japanese Knotweed, and a video showing what it looks like and where it grows can be found at http://www.benefits-of-resveratrol.com/japanese-knotweed.html

Recently someone asked me a simple question. He asked do you know anything of the crown jewels of the Japanese dynasty. It was then that I realized that all of us know a lot about the British crown jewels but very little about the Japanese royal jewels. The Japanese royal family and the British Royal family are the two oldest dynasties in the world. However there is subtle difference between the two. The Japanese believe that their dynasty has the divine right to rule and has temporal powers. This belief has led to a tremendous hold of the Japanese Royal family -in particular the emperor over the Japanese people. Keeping this sentiment in mind General Macarthur the US pacific commander did not depose the Emperor at the end of the war after the defeat of Japan.
The crown jewels of Japan have a very ancient past. They are referred to as Yasakani and their origin can be traced to the beginning of Japanese history. They confer on the Emperor the right to rule. When the emperor is crowned he is handed over the 3 treasures called Sanshu no Jingi. These consist of 3 items namely a) A sword, Kusanagi. (or possibly a replica of the original) b) the jewel or necklace of jewels, Yasakani no magatama and c) the mirror Yata no kagami
These 3 items are supposed to have a divine origin and represent the three primary qualities that are required by an emperor to rule. They have their origin in Buddhist philosophy which is the dominant force in Japan. The crown jewels represent certain primary qualities that are an essential part of an emperor’s philosophy. For example the sword represents valor, The mirror signifies wisdom and lastly the jewel represents benevolence.
Unlike in the United Kingdom where a the crowning ceremony is a gala event that is covered live and in full public gaze the Japanese ceremony is on the other hand a private affair and the public has little part in it. Kyoto is the place where the crowning ceremony is held and is a secluded affair. The various items of regalia of the Japanese Royal family are dispersed and not kept at one place. The Imperial Throne is kept at the Gosho Imperial Palace in Kyoto.The sword is located at Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya, the mirror is located in the Grand Shrine of Ise in Mie prefecture, and the jewel is located at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.
Since 690, the Emperor when he has to be crowned as emperor of the Japanese empire is presented these items of regalia by the priests at the shrine. This is the main part of the imperial enthronement ceremony. This ceremony is not public, and as such no known photographs or drawings are available of the Japanese Crown Jewels.
Japanese people have a lot of affection for their emperor who is supposed to have divine benediction. But an insight into the Japanese crown jewels is an exciting exercise.
