The most common mistake when planting tree is a digging hole, which is both to deep and too narrow.
To deep and the roots don’t have access to sufficient oxygen to ensure proper growth. Too narrow and
the roots structure can’t expand sufficiently to nourish and properly anchor the tree. As a general rule,
trees should be transplanted no deeper than the soil in which they were originally grown. The width of
the hole should be at least 3 times the diameter of the root ball or container or the spread of the roots
in the case of bare roots trees. This will provide the tree with enough worked earth for its root structure
to establish itself.

While most police actions are suspect-based, tactical thinking is officer based. Suspect-based actions
occur when we become too overwhelmed with the quick capture of the offender and forget about
everything else going on around us. In this situation, things can get out of control quickly. This result in
cross fires, improper handcuffing techniques and total convergence on the offender by all officers. It
leaves no one to provide cover. Ideally, an officer should not focus solely on the suspect. The officer
should focus on his/her own actions, rather than what the suspect is doing. By maintaining this focus,
you become more effective in controlling your own emotions. You make stronger tactical decisions ad
only escalate the force, if necessary. This internal focus protects you and allows you to make sound
decisions. This is the officer-based approach to solving any difficult situation.

Feng Shui is often referred to as the art of placement. How you place your furniture, possessions and
yourself within your surroundings largely determines your life experience at every level. Feng Shui offers

accessible. These findings show that even our ancestors were naturally aware of the effects of
placement in their environment. Interestingly enough , all three of these criteria are in harmony with
the basic principles of Feng Shui, which has evolved and become more sophisticated along with human
kind. Thus Feng Shui is a relevant and beneficial to humankind today as it was 28,000 years ago.
