BellaVita Botanics’ Post

hey everyone " today I'd like to talk about the often overlooked but incredibly important factor in our daily lives: humidity. Humidity plays a significant role in our comfort, health, and even the structural integrity of our buildings. As we all know, high humidity can make hot temperatures feel even more unbearable, while low humidity can lead to dry skin and respiratory issues. Finding the right balance is crucial for our well-being. Moreover, humidity can impact our surroundings as well. Excess moisture in the air can cause mold and mildew to grow, leading to potential health hazards and damage to our homes. In industries such as agriculture and manufacturing, humidity control is essential for preserving products and ensuring high-quality output. Therefore, it is important for us to be mindful of humidity levels, both indoors and outdoors, and to take steps to manage them effectively. Let's work together to create environments that are not only comfortable and healthy, but also conducive to productivity and well-being for all. Thank you." Shalyavi Dwivedi 🍁🍂

REMARKS BY JAY NAIDOO Thank you for your invitation. It is a subject that is troubling most South Africans and especially Elders like me that have spent pour lifetimes as freedom fighters. The sad reality is that 40% of South Africans did not vote in our last election. This is a chilling statistic that should have been a national public debate. The question we have in our minds is how legitimate are those that today sit in our Parliament? Perhaps as interesting is the voting pattern did not give any party an outright majority. We can conclude that most South Africans to not trust our political parties, especially the old liberation movement in Africa, the ANC. I am tired of speaking in generalities. I live for the past three years in the North-West Province, close to Marikana. A province that Stats SA recently stated there are more unemployed than employed people. In this ecological catastrophe unfolding here I have chosen not to be an observer. This is our individual choice. 60 million South Africans should ask themselves, ‘What can I do to make a contribution towards nation building and healing ourselves and our country?’ So let me focus on what I am doing to make my contribution and challenge us all to do better.  As I said I live in Magaliesberg Biosphere. This is a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. This ancient mountain was the home to our ancestors Australopithecus between 2-4 million years ago. Interestingly in recent times Homo Naledi surfaced as another iteration before Homo Sapiens, close to 300000 years ago. Whether this is a separate species is still a debate. It is the reputed home of all biodiversity, and the beginning of geologic time. It is 2.2 billion years old. While it has given us the one of the wealthiest biospheres of life and biodiversity in the world, it also gave us 75% of the platinum group metals of the world. We have to assess whether tis was a curse or blessing. 

Hi everyone, I would like to get some suggestions on what we can do to tackle these 2 issues: 1. The stagnant water at car park especially after the heavy rain due to the gradient issue at car park. So far we only use the solution whereby we will ask cleaner to push the water into the nearby floortrap. But this matter takes time and time consuming. 2. Pets waste especially coming from cats at the car park area. We did ask cleaner/landscaper/security to catch it whenever they can,but they just keep coming since there are some nearby shops,residents giving foods and etc. Is there any service that offer to catch all the cats for one time solution? As the cats keep getting increase. Appreciate if anyone can share some input/solution on these matter. Thank you everyone.

Ravi Garg my friend from, the Executive Leadership program by Rakesh Rana♟️ has posted a wonderful article on being grateful. I just wanted to add another point through #friendship to remain Grateful and practice gratitude. The circle of good friendship is so strong that one can only remain grateful throughout lifetime. It has immense power to amplify the positivity quotient surpassing all useless thoughts. To quote an example, a meetup of college Alumni after 2 decades evoked fun and painful events of adventurous college days. Surfing though these conversations an AAHA moment surfaced when one of us explained about his Forgive and Forget (that persona) practice to all unexpected, unpleasant events and people. The benefits of such experiences cannot be underestimated in a friend circle and I must remain grateful on this circle of everlasting strengths. Ask this to self, if I remain grateful to all those friends who have seen you, taken care of you, challenged you, referred to you to jobs, promotions, contacts for business growth, even help you get to your partner, list goes on... IF they wronged you, IF they don't respond, don't let your mind flushed up with doubts or grudges. Instead Forgive them and Disassociate the person from that #persona. We cannot know what was going through in their minds. But appreciate that human mind just "wants " thoughts" to be addressed and can take a shortcut to get that processing of thought. When you do this sort of gratitude practice, your mind shall choose to empty the unpleasant thoughts and help builds up a stringer the circle of control, impact and Influence. Its TRUST. And we can remain grateful for that in a lifetime. Thanks to Vishal Jain Krishna Prasad T G Gaurav Bansal Amit Pal for the friendship circle.

Welcome to 2025 🔥 We’re excited to take the year by storm with our growing family of partners and users. In 2024, we launched two sites at Governors Island and the Brooklyn Navy Yards, introduced our product Cycleau at 17 events across three countries, and developed new features for solar power and smart water quality monitoring. This year, we’ve got two new commercial launches lined up❗and events across another three countries (stay tuned). Major thank you to all of our partners so far SWAROVSKI Foundation, MIT Solve, HP Inc., Halcyon, Re-Earth Initiative, UNICEF Innovation, Trust for Governors Island, Newlab, For ClimateTech, Wild Gift, Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, Reckitt, and 776 Foundation, and to everyone who’s been along for the ride these past two years. Come along in 2025 to see how Cycleau will change the way we use water 🚰

Thanks Tima. I agree with your observations. However, as unpopular or disliked as it is, the human development movement maintains that this growing global polarisation is necessary for us to emerge on the other side with true understanding, empathy and compassion. This compassion and empathy that is currently rare, is not a body of cognitive knowledge to be learned. It is a stage of human awakening and development which only occurs when the human being is ready. And every human on the planet is on their own individual journey. The vast majority of the world is at amber- orange stage, with the leading edge being green touching teal). There are a few individuals beyond teal). It is only at teal, do we begin to transcend and include (universal acceptance). We started at red (prehistoric man - Ghangis Kahn). Make no mistake, I am not sharing this in order to promote under-responsibility- as in “well it’s necessary, and beyond our control”. But 12 years of intense self enquiry and standing on the shoulders of giants of the movement enables some of us to see this from a global perspective, from a universal perspective. It’s this perspective that is necessary for us to understand and accept the views and perspectives of others. And without this universal acceptance, we as a race are going around in circles, "tit for tat". We may not have to forget, but we must forgive, in order to go forward.

Yes, this isn’t your standard Linkedin post, but if this could help someone else take the right step towards better living, then mission accomplished! I did it. I achieved the goal I had set for myself: 10% body fat by 50. I’ve always been an active, athletic person, but with age came new restraints, and my body made sure to inform me of my new limitations. It was disheartening to say the least… no more 10Ks, no more rigorous exercise, it was over. Or so I thought. Through my research into wellness and longevity, I stumbled upon the wonderful Harjit Bahia and her company LONGEVITY, who helped me recapture the vitality that I mistakenly thought I’d lost. By focusing on multiple pillars of longevity, including nutrition, stress, sleep, movement, and community, I was able to get back in the driver’s seat. This isn’t a bragging post, nor is it an ad per se. It’s a thank you letter to the brilliant team at LONGEVITY and Harjit Bahia, the latter whom I will be working with on my next venture: ZOI. Our objective? To establish a data-driven, informed, monitored and measured approach to health, leveraging the latest technology, and empowering people to become the CEOs of their own health. We’re excited to bring this to all of you!

Was just reading the foreword by Doug Tallamy...WOW! Here's a small sample... “Every once in a while, a book comes along that meets an important need most people don’t know they have. Sarah Jayne’s Nature’s Action Guide is such a book. Sarah could have called her book Conservation for Dummies—not that she wrote it for true dummies, but because she has identified a subject everyone needs to know but almost no one was ever taught: how to share our spaces with the natural world.” … “Sarah wrote Nature’s Action Guide as a complement to my book Nature’s Best Hope. My last chapter suggested 10 things homeowners could/should do to help share their property with nature. After reading my book, Sarah set about trying to enact each of these suggestions in her own yard but quickly realized that, even as an experienced gardener, she didn’t know enough to be successful. And if she didn’t know enough, many other budding conservationists were likely to struggle as well. Sarah’s solution was to write Nature’s Action Guide, a step-by-step, easy to use manual that explains how each of us, regardless of our background or gardening experience, can accomplish all of the goals I propose in Nature’s Best Hope, as well as several I only hinted at! Restoration biology is a relatively young scientific discipline a few decades old. Practicing restoration in human-dominated landscapes, in comparison, is in its infancy and we are still learning what works and what doesn’t work. One of its many distinguishing features is that Nature’s Action Guide is current, explaining state-of-the-art conservation in suburbia with the most up-to-date best-practices available. Even a half-hearted attempt to follow Sarah’s action items is guaranteed to improve the biodiversity potential of your landscape and thus the productivity of your local ecosystem. For this, we all owe Sarah Jayne our heartfelt thanks and gratitude—because, whether we appreciate it or not, we all depend on those same ecosystems.” Douglas W. Tallamy
