text: 10 Nov Posted at 13:20h in Uncategorized by Hilton Elske 0 Likes Share Stress is a part of daily life. Effectively managing it should be too. Life can be stressful at times. From work-related stress to worrying about loved ones, these feelings can take their toll. Early research is still being conducted to examine the relationship between CBD and anxiety. What we do know is that CBD works with the body's own endocannabinoid system to stimulate production of anandamide, which is sometimes known as "the joy molecule" or "the bliss molecule." Increased levels of anandamide can result in a sunnier outlook, a more positive and upbeat mood, and promote a greater sense of calm. CBD is known to have "adaptogenic" properties, what this means is that CBD helps your body regulate it stimulatory (stress) hormones. We actually need these stress hormones to wake our bodies up and get us going throughout the day, but too many of these hormones over stimulate our minds and bodies, leading to stress. The biggest of these culprits is cortisol, CBD has shown significant ability in helping the body naturally regulate our cortisol levels Our Dreams Capsules are a potent adaptogen blend, specifically designed to assist with cortisol regulation, allowing you to more easily enter a state of rest. Furthermore, CBD has been found to increase serotonin, a neurotransmitter which controls mood and behaviour. Our Digest CBD Capsules contain live bacterial colonies, that produce serotonin as a product, thats gets delivered directly to your gut and body. Contact our Wellness Assistant for tailored advice.

After Article 50, UK democracy will be 'chilled' by Great Repeal Bill
Theresa May is planning an unprecedented bill to transport thousands of European laws into British law. But the process she has proposed represents a huge risk to our democracy28th March 2017
- New briefing from legal academic warns that the bill could affect UK democracy for decades to come and could hand massive power from parliament and the people to the government.
- Proposed new 'Henry VIII' powers have been described by former Lord Chief Justice as a "self-inflicted blow" that should only be used in a national emergency.
A new briefing argues that the government's proposed Great Repeal Bill (GRB) which will follow on from Article 50 being triggered on 29 March, has the potential to grant the government an almost unprecedented level of unaccountable power, using a political process that will chill democratic scrutiny.
The GRB aims to repeal the European Communities Act 1972, and at the same time convert thousands of EU laws into UK law. This is intended to maintain legal and regulatory certainty after Brexit. All laws that take effect in the UK as a result of EU membership will be converted into UK law. They will then be repealed, replaced or maintained piecemeal after Brexit.
But campaigners fear that important democratic safeguards will be sacrificed in the process. Under so-called Henry VIII powers, ministers could gain the power to repeal rights, protections and standards outside of parliamentary scrutiny.
Sam Fowles, the author of the briefing and a spokesperson for Another Europe is Possible said:
"The Great Repeal Bill is almost unprecedented in scope, form, and lasting effects. It has the potential to empower the government to effectively legislate without the consent of Parliament. So far, there has been an almost total absence of transparency in the government's approach.
"If it is handled with transparency and accountability, then the Great Repeal Bill presents a chance to come together and improve the way this country is governed. But that is not how it has been handled so far. It's up to the government, MPs, and civil society to come together to put that right. Otherwise a bill aimed at "taking back control" will actually represent the disenfranchisement of ordinary voters on a historic scale."
Nick Dearden, the director of Global Justice Now, one of the organisations affiliated with Another Europe is Possible said:
"We fear the Great Repeal Bill will make extensive use of so-called Henry VIII powers which will allow government ministers to make substantial changes to our legal system without proper parliamentary scrutiny. Even in Tudor times these powers were controversial. Today they could allow ministers to jettison equality legislation, workers' rights and environmental protections. We know that MPs have an enormous task here, but these changes must happen in a way that doesn't involve granting Theresa May the powers of a renaissance monarch."

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Thursday on "The Axe Files" podcast that President Donald Trump's claims of voter fraud seem dubious because "the president said before the election that if he were to lose, it would be because of voter fraud."
Romney said, "At this stage, we haven't heard any evidence of a widespread voter fraud effort that would result in a change in the outcome of the election."
Host David Axelrod said, "The place where the allegations are being made are mostly the president's Twitter feed."

Linked here is a detailed quantitative analysis of Illinois Tool Works Inc (ITW). Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:
Company Description: Illinois ToolWorks Inc. is a diversified manufacturer operates a portfolio of about 750 industrial and consumer businesses located throughout the world.
Fair Value: I consider four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
ITW is trading at a discount to only 1.) above. If I exclude the high and low valuations and average the remaining two, ITW is trading at a 28.8% premium. ITW had a Star deducted for trading at a premium in excess of 5%.
Dividend Analytical Data: In this section I consider five factors, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
ITW earned one Star in this section for 3.) above. ITW has paid a cash dividend to shareholders every year since 1933 and has increased its dividend payments for 46 consecutive years.
Dividend Income vs. MMA: Why would you assume the equity risk and invest in a dividend stock if you could earn a better return in a much less risky money market account (MMA)? This section compares the earning ability of this stock with a high yield MMA. Two items are considered in this section, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
ITW earned both of the available Stars in this section. The NPV MMA Diff. of the $3,245 is in excess of the $2,500 minimum I look for in a stock that has increased dividends as long as ITW has. If ITW grows its dividend at 5.1% per year, it will take 1 year to equal the cumulative earnings from a MMA yielding an estimated 20-year average rate of 3.64%. ITW earned a Star since its Years to >MMA of 1 is less than 5 years.
Other: ITW is a member of the S&P 500 and a member of the Broad Dividend Achievers™ Index. ITW has a strong balance sheet with a relatively low debt and generates high levels of free cash flow relative to net income. Looking ahead, ITW should continue to grow EPS via acquisitions and share repurchases. Risks would include a continued downturn in industrial activity and/or capital spending, integration of acquisitions and continued escalation of raw material costs.
Conclusion: ITW lost one Star in the Fair Value section, earned one Star in the Dividend Analytical Data section and earned two Stars in the Dividend Income vs. MMA section for a net total of two Stars. This quantitatively ranks ITW as a 2 Star-Weak stock.
Using my D4L-PreScreen.xls model, I determined the share price could increase to $35.34 before BRC's NPV MMA Differential fell to the $3,000 that I like to see for a stock with over 25 consecutive years of dividend increases. At that price the stock would yield 3.51%.
Resetting the D4L-PreScreen.xls model and solving for the dividend growth rate needed to generate the needed $3,000 NPV MMA Differential, the calculated rate is 4.8%. This dividend growth rate is slightly below the 5.1% used in this analysis, thus providing a small margin of safety. ITW has a risk rating of 1.75 which classifies it as a medium risk stock.
2009 will likely be a difficult year for ITW due to the slowing global economy, along with reduced activity in the automotive and construction industries. ITW is a good company, but currently selling at a premium. Given its near-term prospects, we will likely see entry points closer to my buy price of $26.92. For additional information, including the stock's historical dividend information, please refer to its data page.
Disclaimer: Material presented here is for informational purposes only. The above quantitative stock analysis, including the Star rating, is mechanically calculated and is based on historical information. The analysis assumes the stock will perform in the future as it has in the past. This is generally never true. Before buying or selling any stock you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion. See my Disclaimer for more information.
Full Disclosure: At the time of this writing, I was long in ITW (2.8% of my Income Portfolio).

Throughout the United States, protests following the George Floyd murder, in Minneapolis, are still ongoing. But, Dionne Coulter is the name being shouted in Arkansas. As he remains behind bars, people are screaming his name.
Dionne Coulter was being harassed, earlier this week, by two white men. When he pulled over, to gas up, in Delight, Arkansas, at a local gas station, the men followed him, there. The altercation would then turn violent.
In self-defense, Dionne Coulter shot one of the men, in the ankle, simply to get away. However, the police were called, and Coulter was arrested, while the men, who happened to be brothers, ha their family called, and their aunt proceeded to beat Coulter, when he was in the polie car, handcuffed. Adding to this, the brothers' cousin vowed revenge on Coulter, "the n*gger who shot my cuz."

A call to trial, 1792
Slimmy_Rimmy replied to Froschli's topic in Church of the Canon"Greetings to you, I apologize for my delayed response to your so effortlessly well-written letter; I've been a bit busy avoiding the assassins your church sends each day. I do not know what to call you, but it will not be Your Eminence, nor friend, nor brother. For I only bow to the Most High GOD. And my brothers and my sisters are His fellow children, for I am His son. And though I would rather it be another way, you are no friend of mine for the time being. So, I suppose I will just call you Alfred, if that is all right. Know this, Alfred: GOD despises you and your pagan temple. He despises every stone you've lain down in His name. He despises your title as His Vicar, and the shimmering white robes you adorn your unworthy frame with to appear as perhaps He or His Angel in Human form among fools who'd bow before you as they should only do to the Lord, and kiss your ring. Despite His hatred for you, Alfred, I would not have you slain. For though you've made attempts on my life, I forgive you. And with open arms, I welcome you to be baptized by me. With the slate wiped clean, the False Shepherd cannot touch a child of the Lord my GOD, the brother of me, His prophet. The New World approaches, Alfred. You are in trouble, and like it or not, you need me. You'd have me killed and wash the blood from your own hands, and continue to don your garments and be a god among men. And then what? The Lord will only kill you. And in the Void, you will be all alone, though you are in the same exact place as your followers, and those who were brought up by your perversion, and those who brought about your own perversion, you will be alone and with nothing. Repent, child. Seek me, and be born again in His mercy and grace. And rejoice, for though you were a liar and a killer of the righteous; an agent of the False Shepherd and a wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked thing whose death would have the very worst of stings, you shall start anew. Rejoice, Alfred. Rejoice! For I know how it ends! Come unto me, Alfred. Come. Whosoeverwill, let them come. Come and see, Alfred. Come." -Melchizedek.
A Friendly Warning from a Humble Man
Slimmy_Rimmy posted a topic in Church of the CanonGood morning, Children of GOD, and others. Dark times approach, rapidly. A new world is coming to life, even now, I'm sure you can smell it's breath. For those of you who decline my appeal, and the appeal of the Lord, your state of decline will begin momentarily. And for the rest of you; my flock, you are Sons and Daughters of the Most High, and as I promised, will be be made Generals and Kings in His Promised Land, for He sent me for you, and He calls you home! Today begins the countdown of our glorious arrival and the erection of our City Atop the Pillar of Cloud which shall be the New Capital of His Promised Land. But be warned, for Fowlers caught in the Snare of the Dirt, teething on Cakes of Pith, they shall call out to you "Fool! Can you not see GOD has left?! Come down and join us in our butchery and looting!" But fear not, for you will have seen His glory, and fear Him, and if need be, shall hold onto the fibers of my clothes, and bury your faces into me as the Wind howls in anger; His and mine. Where in His Dwelling, we shall sit at His table, be you Duke or beggar, you shall feast! He shall adorn you with a signet ring of His house, and clothe you in an ornate robe and a fine sash of crimson and purple thread, and you shall dance and drink merrily as the Sodom Below, yes, YOU who put your faith in men and not in GOD, here is my advice: gash out your eyes, or if you a coward, cover them in gauze. For you shall surely go mad at the sight of His glory, and be ridden with the torment of your own foolishness. You shall damn the church; damn the men; damn the False Shepherd who led you away from me. That is all. -Melchizedek.
On the Topic of Race, From the Prophet Melchizedek
Slimmy_Rimmy replied to Slimmy_Rimmy's topic in Church of the CanonOr perhaps he might begin to wonder... Was that really Melchizedek who's head they lopped off? Or is this Melchizedek truly essential to the Lord that He might keep him from death?
And by the harsh light of the Spirit Realm's sun did I first see Man as either amorphous, gelatinous creatures without mouths or hands or feet, unable to cause even themselves harm and with altered perceptions of time to deepen their anguish, or mutilated and transformed into what I can only describe as grotesque simians with gigantic sexual organs. Their sanity lost. Their temperaments regressed into that of a child. These were not only the homosexuals, but the sexually immoral in general. That being even those born into unclean, libidic sin. That being, the mutations responsible for the many races whose forms are completely warped from the Lord's image. Uruks, Goblins, Halflings, Dwarves, Elves, and so on -- for they were born into a curse on top of their premature, fleshly gyves that would otherwise fetter us all to the world from the Womb. Because of these sins, (the sins of their fathers and grandfathers), GOD cannot stand the sight of them. For I knew then that the way I saw these sinners now, it was the way GOD has been forced to see them from the beginning. For He cannot lie, and these were their True Forms. He cannot turn away, for He is all knowing, even when He does not want to be. The sinful who are not Human, despite their abilities, have always lacked the sapience to be creative or the ability to move freely, and they are jealous, they will exact revenge on humanity by torturing even the last remnants of the species that, through the temptations of Beasts, created them in their birth-defects. As the Human must be Baptized in water, a Non-Human must instead have their flesh burned in the name of the Father, Prophet, and Lord. Pointed ears should be circumcised and rounded, and tusks and fangs on that of a humanoid should be filed down. A Half-Breed must have only their Left-Sides burned, then receive their Baptism only on their Right, in the name of the Father, Prophet, and Lord. The sexually-immoral who refuse the notion that they must change; you shall force their Baptism before their dragooning proliferates. And mutants (Non-Humans) who do not see their forms as anathematized to a higher extent than that of a wretch, and do not rue their ill-starred, supplemental Nativial-Sin must too have their righteous Scorchings forced onto them. For then they are invisible, and the Lord your GOD should not have His Spirit vexed and squicked by such abominations. And with their unclean hearts will otherwise come our demise. Even those saved who are Non-Human or Half-Bred, you shan't allow them to be married, and you shall chastise them. For their seed is uniquely stigmatized. Their blood mustn't go on, for I know it is the Will of the Lord your GOD there is no progeny churned out with extra sin, for these have no place anymore, and the Sin of the World is almost Hopeless on it's own. With that, My Children, I Pray You'll Receive My Gift: Your Aim Shall Be True, For Your Eyes Are Now Mine: The Prophet's. In the Name of the Father, in the Name of the Prophet, in the Name of the Lord, Go Forth, And Sin No More. Go Forth, And Stop Them From Sinning. Amen. -Melchizedek.
And at the slump of a rashly-coiled gunny vine, Friar Boniface was no more. For at the claws of the False Shepherd's sway was he silenced, by the gods of the Cities of Man whose lechery for the hearts and souls of the wayward made them embosom lies and keck at the fetor of once apodictic truths. Boniface was my brother, and I loved him. I prayed for GOD to ransom him from the etiolated springe of false-converts and whoring, quartzdust-snoring mountebanks. But Boniface loved the Lord and rejected me as His Prophet. And so, Our Father did not hold his feet, but turned from him. And now, those same beasts who'd murder a man for beginning to profess their malversations make attempts on my life, on behalf of the False Shepherd in all his desperation and audacity. But the Lord is with me, and it is His to avenge, and We shall Repay in His Holy Name. I declare, in the Name of Our Father, in the Name of Our Prophet, in the Name of Our Lord, those who follow me shall be great kings and generals of a New World. Rejoice! Rejoice! Death has no sting! -The Prophet Melchizedek.
Homophobia and Hate within Roleplay
Slimmy_Rimmy replied to Jentos's topic in DebateWell said. Please exercise restraint in your language is immersion breaking enough. Complaining about something that is completely justified by the grounds of a make-believe world's cultures, religions, and time period just because you choose to take it personally is a great way to ruin things for everyone else trying to participate in the creation of an enticing narrative. OOC issues should stay OOC, and RP issues should stay in RP. When you try and make them collide, it makes the bridge of my nose hurt from pinching it so hard. I'd really hate to see LOTC die from exhaustion, but the fact of the matter is: very few people want to be lectured at in a Minecraft RP server.
A Prayer, From The Prophet Melchizedek
Slimmy_Rimmy posted a topic in Church of the CanonMy Children, This is a Gift for You, a Prayer for the Chosen Under Me, to help deter your Soul's countenance to the naysayings and lies about the Truths of your Spirit from Those who would rather you be manacled to World as they, with chains stretching only as far as Our GOD in all His Wisdom suffers: "Lord, I pray that Their Flesh will be Blinded and Horrified by Your Light surrounding Me on the Prophet's behalf, and they will flee and never return to me. Amen." Be strong, child, for I know how it Ends. I have seen each and every one of your Fates. I know those of you by GOD who long for the passing of My Second Testament as they would for a Lost Love, and think dross of Baptism in the Name of the Father, in the Name of the Prophet, and in the Real Name of Our Lord. Come unto me NOW! For My Child's hecatomb shan't be in forsaken, nor will the Bile of Our Living GOD! Blessed Be. Blessed Be. -The Prophet Melchizedek.
"... For those who ignore your admonition and would rather abuse you and kill you in My name to maintain their worldly influence shall die as snakes on their bellies. I will hunt them down to the ends of any realm, I will find them disrobed, despondent, and miserable, and blind. And they shall know who I Am, and that you were with Me..." - Our Lord, to His Prophet Melchizedek. There are indeed False Prophets, who are Beasts disguised as Men of GOD. There are False Converts, many whom are ignorant in that they worship idols of a god who is erroneous and copies the Good Name of the Lord who is True. And then there is the False Shepherd, who will come to lead the Holy Sacrament astray, Marked by the Lord, that We in His Wisdom might see his coming and prepare. With chicanery and artifice, the False Shepherd will arrive to lead the Seed of the Prophet astray that those of you left behind in the Ways of Malfeasance and Vice may further bask in the Sin of the world that it may grow Thick and Throttle you. That you may be swallowed by the irreproachable Anger of a Living GOD. For I saw a City of Hallowed Rock, and surrounding it's corners were Heroes of the Lord, who were given trumpets as pure as Gold, and Brands without Blemish, as clear as glass. And lo, before me the Land shook, and the Sun was Dark and the Moon turned Red and every star in the Skies fell down upon the World. And our Father broke out against you, the Malefactors, who were born sopping in feculence then rolled unto sublunary dust to commit the sin of idolatry in making your own gods. Gods who are lazy and without scruples and who care even less when you lie and when you murder and when you fornicate. By these shall the False Shepherd cow the foolish and the vile into disdaining the Lord and His Prophet, and by these machinations shall the wicked prolong their influence over you, and by their desperate and violent hands shall I surely die. For I begged the Lord, "Save them, Father, that I may instead be cast to the Void in their place!" And at this, He said, "Not you, Melchizedek." For He remembered that I too was born into sin. "But I shall lift the Curse that would otherwise bound your Seed to the earth's cupidity. And by the sacrifice of your Miracle Child shall every knee bow. Not through you, Melchizedek, for even now the Harlot Church conspires against you, and when they cannot be rid of you by Charter, they will have you assassinated in an attempt to keep all to their ways, for as it stands, they are gods to fools. By the False Shepherd, you shall be Finished." Said the Lord to me, and I wept. And I saw, there was Death. He leaned against The Post, and I saw Men weep and vomit as they became Creatures, for they had left GOD's image, for He was gone, as was Hope, and their World was dark and cold. And by their own will, their complexions were masticated, their fats were rendered, and they tore at the arteries coiled around each other's femurs with fangs like daggers and teeth like swords. For they pushed the blame of Death's befalling on one another, and they could not be prepared for his Sting.
Slimmy_Rimmy replied to Boniface's topic in Church of the Canon"You want what GOD has asked of me. You believe me to be false in the ways of the Most High GOD, but He has told me a great deal of you, Brother Boniface. And I like you. But even such a righteous servant of the Beginning and the End might trample where there are serpents and scorpions. Come unto Me, child. Death has no sting." Says the Prophet.
Slimmy_Rimmy replied to Boniface's topic in Church of the Canon"Let us work together." Might propose the Prophet Melchizedek.
"You who worship the Church, or even the sun created by the Most High. This is as foolish as kissing in thanks the gift and not the giver..." -From our Lord, through his servant Melchizedek. As the foundation of the Church was built by GOD, with every decade, Stones of Mar were laid down by Man. And as it stands today, the Lord despises the Church, for it has become corrupt. He refers to the Church as Harlot, for She became stubborn and insincere with the influence of hypocrites; liars, killers of women, blasphemers and adulterers at Heart. But those who find identity in their Church rather than the Lord plead, "Prophet! We have fed the poor and converted pagans and made them wise! Men are weak, and we are to have patience in regards to their failings, so says the Lord our GOD! Those corrupt in our Clergy, tell us who they are that we may cast them out, as we have done in the past!" And I say to them, "Why did you allow corruption to enter His Church in the first place?!" For even if only the hand of the Leper is white with taint, he remains unclean if he should cut it off! The False Children of GOD have put their gratitude and faith in the Church, and not in Him. They do their deeds and there is no repentance with Baptism; only mass whenever they can find time in their lives to recite impersonal "prayers" written by Man, who have taken it upon themselves to act as GOD, it would seem. To promote unworthy worship to the Beginning and the End through mindless chants and ceremonies that are not Written, but fabricated by misconceptions and lack of Wisdom and Discernment by faithless Men put in charge of the Faith of others only by the orchestrations of the Beast. For this reason, GOD has turned away from the Church, for he cannot be where there is sin, and so His Glory does not shine over the once Holy places as it did to blind and horrify the flesh of wicked Men. The Churches, as by decree of the One True GOD, can no longer be thought of as built upon the foundations of He and His Word, but on that of serpents and audacious con-men. For, as it stands by the Will of the Most High GOD, there is One way to the Father, and that is with Baptism and Repentance through me, His Prophet. For the Church is not a building, and I have seen the Flood of Fire that will drown in righteous flame the Sodom; cleansing the world for His Arrival come the Day of Judgement. For we have upset Our Father, and He shall make the feet of evil Men slip, as their Doom rushes upon them. Heed my sayings, for I am the Prophet of the Lord your GOD. -Melchizedek.
A Word from the Prophet Melchizedek
Slimmy_Rimmy posted a topic in Church of the Canon"And Malefactors shad be casted Down. Casted Down to their reside of scorched Perpetuity. Naked 'cept for Black hats. Which Spikes yoke to boiled scalps..." - From our Lord, through his servant Melchizedek. In battle, a bolt grazed the side of my head. GOD kept me safe inside his breast, but before that, I dared not seek His look, lest He broke out against me. Until through water I was born anew and I saw the faces of GOD, and lo, my hair turned white as wool and I began to weep. From this second birth, I was named Melchizedek. "I love this nation, and her men, but they have turned from Me, as is their Curse," said the Lord. "The Church is a harlot; the Adversary has filled her with greed and deceit. The Void awaits those to pretend to know Me." And He revealed a Throng of Char which swallowed the Sodom of the world, but I was safe, for he lifted me from the Pit, and from under his wings I hid, but he opened my eyes and made me see. "Here awaits them, for My time is soon, and I will repay. Men who are not Baptized as you but left bound to the Wickedness of the Harlot (as is their Burden; their Spirit's Penance for their Birth in Sin) shall beg the rocks and mountains to fall on them; to hide them from Me. As will those not of Mankind at all, for they are not of My Image, thus, they are detestable." I pleaded with GOD, for you all are as I was, and I understood. For you are my brothers and sisters, as well as my children. "Then with Glory and a Firm Hand, Melchizedek, Save as many as there Are. Even those who do not wish to be Saved. For I, the Lord, am with you." Whosoever will, let them come. Seek our Father through me. Come. Be baptized with the slate wiped clean. Born again, with a new name you shall take, and a new heart with new desires you shall receive. With His feathers as your refuge at the time of the Cleansing of the Sodom below. - Melchizedek
[PK] Death's Sweet Embrace
Slimmy_Rimmy replied to Fiiieee's topic in Holy Orenian EmpireDane bit down on his cigarette, and a grunt escaped his scruffy scowl as he swiftly fell to the ground and began to desperately claw at the mud of Thea's grave, digging his toes into the earth so his feet would not slip in the rain... The feral spent twenty years getting back to her; she was all he had left, and now she was dead, and died hating him for something he could not remember. So selfish as to take her own life and leave the beastie without even someone to hunt down at the end of some corner of some realm and drag to the void to devour. He held her corpse now, covered in filth and in the pouring rain. Sitting in the mud, helplessly nudging his nose against her sunken cheek, and rubbing his bristly scruff against her insensate forehead. He would never forget the day he nearly died, but saved this woman's life. She stayed with him that night, and he got to listen to her breathing against his cold heart through blood-soaked bandages. He didn't sleep, for he thought he had earned the treat of smelling his most favorite scent for hours. In the life of Oren's Dog-Man, that was his greatest day, and this is his worst.
Sir Humphrey thinks that was a really great comeback.
Sir Humphrey remembers literally 5 minutes ago when Simon Mercer was bitching on OOC about how no one wants to hire him and asked how to get clients.

Jordi is getting bored with playing video games. Especially when his best friend's mom keeping popping in on them. He can't help but take a peek at her amazing ass while she cleans. You can't really blame him for being distracted while Rebecca is teasing her bountiful boobs around him. After her son gets pissed off with playing online, Jordi decides to pay Rebecca a visit in the kitchen. He figures it'd be more fun to spank around her ass and titties than a bunch of pixelated monsters. It doesn't take long before Rebecca has swallowed down his cock and takes his 'noob tube' up her tight snatch. Seems like there's more to life than video games after all!

Amidst criticisms of group CN Blue manager's violent behaviour, a representative has came out to explain, "We have taken disciplinary action towards this staff. We apologise deeply."
A video was posted up on a Korean portal site on 14th February showing CN Blue's manager apparently showing violent behaviour on fans, which sparked off criticisms immediately amongst netizens. In the video, the CN Blue members were getting off the car, and a guy in brown top was seen hitting the head of a fan using his palm.
With the netizens getting angry over the incident, FNC Music had posted an apology post on their official homepage.
In the apology post, it was written, "The video shows a footage of what happened before KBS Music Bank rehearsal at YeoIlGo car park on 11th February. Many fans were crowding around the car, and it was impossible to enter the building, so the manager displayed violent behaviour towards the fans who were going too close to member Lee JongHyun."
"It is not right to use violence in any situation, hence the manager and all FNC Music staff would like to apologise to fans. The manager was disciplined, and was held responsible for his actions. We will make sure that this will not happen again."
Meanwhle, FNC also clarified that Lee JongHyun was not smiling at the violent act as pointed out by many netizens who saw the video.
The video is in the form of a GIF,thanks to crimsonbox.
I personally REALLY pity the girl who got hit by this ruthless manager. It's just not right to resort to this extent of violence. I'm sure this manager would get what he deserved soon.

Secret Garden Visualisation – listen on soundcloud
Secret Garden Visualisation – listen on soundcloud
Effective Strategies to help you Cope if things have got Tough, and also
to help you re-engage Joyfully with life and make Practical Plans for further
Goals. This is especially slanted to suit mums, but is helpful for anybody.
by Julia Woodman – Life Coach, Counsellor, Stress Consultant, and Writer
How about keeping a special book to write down lists, notes, responses and observations as
you go along. This is a special record of things you will want to know where to find and refer
back to easily from time to time.
If you are setting out on this journey with young children, then use a large scrapbook for them
as well. Encourage them to explore the world around them and draw and stick things into their
scrapbook as they go.
Make the best of what you have. List all the good things about and around you, and focus
on appreciating them by referring to your list every day. This should include :
• Things about yourself (assets, skills, attributes – for example, you might have child care skills,
be a good cook, a loyal partner, have beautiful hair, strong arms, be friendly, have a great sense
of humour, good health, good home, job that fits around family so that you can be there for them,
considerate, helpful, creative)
• Things about your friends and family etc – listing each person separately is probably best
(very similar to above, including things like: loving partner you can communicate well
with, great children, sensible teenager, friends you can chat at ease with, parent you can
ask for help, practical brother, understanding boss, etc.)
• Things about your surroundings ( beautiful hills and valleys you can walk in, rivers to fish
or swim in, amazing flowers or butterflies you can look at or smell or draw or photograph,
places to go out and listen to music and dance, gym, martial arts or yoga etc classes,
seaside for watersports, swimming pool, good school, other kids that your kids can
spend time with, good weather for growing your crops or veg etc, access to good health
support, libraries, college, jobs, etc.)
You can also refer back to this list to make sure you remember to make use of
the good stuff – for example, keep a diary perhaps to just take note of inspiring
things at any time, and to draw in or write poems in about the beautiful things
in any wild spaces you visit.
You might like to cook a special meal for your partner or family or even just for yourself,
find ways to ensure that you keep up with your friends (even if just via the internet if they
are far away), find fun ways to keep fit, set aside time for good movies or comedy shows
or music events, access resources and knowledge available, play games with your friends
and family, etc. Remember to give praise to partners and children when you can.
When taking walks or going on trips with your children it is great to point out how things
work along the way, and show them the beautiful details in nature, encourage them to
draw or write about it, or stick things in their scrapbooks, such as leaflets about where
you have been. You could help them draw a flower or leaf, and then press it between the
pages of a heavy book in greaseproof paper (which keeps it more vibrant than tissue paper).
Then later on when it has dried you can compare it to the drawing, maybe even
stick it into the scrapbook next to the drawing.
"Beauty is alive in every moment, riding the breath of life
Young children can understand a lot more than we tend to think, and it is crucial to keep
their curiosity, sense of wonder, and thirst for knowledge alive. You too can enjoy their
delight if you help them for example by using illustrated information books. It is
wonderful if you can put on a little act and exclaim with delight or awe at some of the
amazing details.
Effective communication is vital, whether it be at work, or with family, children, or
friends. Be prepared to ensure that you have your fair say in a respectful way. Again, it
is good to write things down in preparation so that you are clear about what the most
important one or two things you want to discuss are, and don't muddy the waters with all
sorts of vague bits and pieces. I do have more detailed articles and videos about
communication available via my website www.radiance-solutions.co.uk
Let go of small things that niggle at you by concentrating on being grateful for the good
things. What does the other stuff matter by comparison? We all know that no one is
perfect, so let's stop expecting them to be. If you give praise for the good stuff it will
make everybody (including yourself) feel more willing to try to be their best.
List the knowledge and skills that you already have, and appreciate those too.
These are the building blocks of your life. No thing is too small, so put them all down.
If you are lacking in confidence then use affirmations to help build this up.
There are also some of these available via my website.
You can also learn to write your own – they must always be written in the present tense.
A wonderful affirmation that helps balance your mind, body, and spirit because it aligns
you with the earth and the universe (both of which crucially allow and support life) is to
simply say "I love, and I am loved". You need to be comfortable, take a few deep
breaths to relax and focus, and then say this aloud and feel that it is true. Your
relationship with the universe and with the earth is fundamental to who you are. Be at
ease with yourself, and let the energy flow up and down your spine as you stand upon the
earth, holding your head steady, repeating this until you know that it is true.
When we are balanced, it is easy for others to love us, because we hold a steadiness in
our hearts and do not react to trivial things. You are regaining your connection with the
deep self and the real world beneath all the crazy stuff and meaningless rules we have
piled on it. Breathe deeply and feel yourself to be more free.
As you progress through all these ideas here and in some of my other materials, you will
find that your confidence increases quite naturally. You have to know that you are
worth it. Everyone has an equal right to live their lives as they choose because each one
of us is a vital part of the overall diversity of life and consciousness. You are a unique
human being come to experience life on this planet so you should aim to learn from
everything, even what we would normally term as negative because the most challenging
things usually have the most potential to teach us stuff. Even illness can be viewed as the
body trying to show us that it needs attention, so once you start listening to that and doing
something about it, you are taking the positive steps you need to. It is your life, and you
have the power to choose to make it good for you. You should not be afraid to follow your
heart and fulfil your dreams, don't listen to people who tell you otherwise, or to any
niggling doubts in your ego mind.
Our minds can be used as tools to help us help ourselves, instead of allowing
ourselves to be subjected to some of the silly thoughts, fears, and worries that tend to go
round in our heads if we let them. Stop listening to that sort of negative stuff and focus on
the positive. Think about it – worry is a total waste of energy because it does not achieve
anything productive. All it does is show us that perhaps we need to take care to prepare
for whatever it is we are worrying about or fearing, so that we can face it instead of letting
it knock us down. Fear stands for False Evidence Appearing Real – usually if we just
get on and do what we are afraid of, then we find it is all fine after all – so we need to learn
to stop our minds getting in the way, and use them instead to help us move forwards.
By making these lists of all the good stuff, we can then remind ourselves of things to
inspire and motivate us. We can say "AHHHH YES I CAN DO THIS. Look – I already
have some of the skills, and I can learn the rest, and find out what I need to know and do
to be successful." You can learn to follow your heart to be who you truly want to be.
If you feel stressed or depressed, then look for my articles that can help with such
issues, which are again available on my website www.radiance-solutions.co.uk
There is a full Stress Busting guide available too. Don't let these things steal your power,
learn how to deal with them! I also have some simple visualizations to help you relax, but
meditation is even more powerful, so if you are prepared to put in the work, go for my
full meditation guide, and you should be well rewarded for your efforts. Meditation takes
you into a sense of bliss that arises from a combination of personal and universal power.
Promise yourself that you are going to stop beating yourself up about anything –
you are doing the best you can for the moment, and as you find out how best to move forward,
you will continue to be doing the best that you can in each moment. Of course, as you
learn and plan and achieve, that best will be better than it was before, and you can
congratulate yourself for every step that you take. Meantime just do not expect too much
from yourself, we can only do what we can, given the tools we have in each moment.
Don't judge yourself (or others) – each moment is only one step on our journey. Even
if you take a step backwards, don't waste time and energy on berating yourself for that, just
get back on the track.
Everyone needs a bit of space to themselves once in a while, so ensure that you
do get this, and don't let anyone else make you feel that you can't take it – we need to rest
and renew ourselves, recharge our energy. We all have different ways of doing this, so
plan for it as part of your life, just don't overdo it – there is a big difference between taking
time out now and again to do something inspiring, and withdrawing or retreating from
things. It should be time to do something positive for yourself….. yes if you need to sleep,
then sleep, but ideally you could meditate or read or write or draw or play music, go for a
walk, visit a friend, or do anything you love.
Meditation is fantastic for regaining and strengthening our deeper sense of self.
It can also be used as a tool to train our minds to do what we want instead of getting in our way.
Plan lists of anything else you want to learn or achieve – You can come back to this
later, it is just to get your thoughts clear for now Don't just think about work, think about
hobbies, enjoyment etc too, anything that might help you (and your partners, and
children, if you have them) have more fun. Obviously sometimes you may need to do
things on your own, but this can be planned for – if you really want to do it, make sure
you put it on your list, don't leave anything off or limit yourself just because your logical
mind says it isn't practical!
Writing all these things down helps to give them more potential. If you faithfully
make your lists as suggested, then you will find it useful to refer back to them to remind
yourself of your thoughts and renew your positive motivation. Another main factor about
writing all these things down is that it clarifies your intentions, which helps you focus on
what you want. If our minds are less muddled then we are simply much more likely to
follow what we have set down, so this focus removes the muddle and sets you on track.
We can go a stage further and use life coaching charts to actually make step by step
plans of how we are going to get from point A to B. These are different from the
lists above, because these exercises here are looking at your whole life really, whereas in
life coaching plans you need to focus on one or two specific areas – for example how to get
to do what you want at college, how to plan to move country, how to give up a bad habit,
how to save or pay off debts, how to get fit or lose weight, how to basically achieve any
goal we choose to.
We make the steps along the way realistic and achievable alongside time frames that
again are realistic and achievable. We also add in details like who is going to help or
support you where help is needed, for example you may need a child-minder so that you
can attend college, or you might just need to be able to phone someone up for moral
support if you are feeling tired and demoralised. Or you might just be able to refer back
to your book where you have written your list of reasons for doing this in the first place
to regain your sense of motivation. In any case, your plan will also include rewards for
achievement along the way to help keep up your motivation. We need to bear in mind
that any cycle of change is bound to have slight setbacks once in a while as it is normal to
feel very motivated to start with then run out of steam a bit if things get tough, but the
thing is just to get back on up and on with it again as soon as you are ready, and not waste
time and energy regretting the setback. If we are prepared well enough, then we will
have the support in place to help us get back on track. I have life coaching charts
available on www.radiance-solutions.co.uk/essenceguides3.htm so that you can use them
yourself if you wish to.
If you want to find something to do and you are not sure what that is yet, then I do also
have a system included in my Life Coaching packages to help you tap your
subconscious to identify what you most want. This might help mums returning to
work or mothers whose children have left home, for example, to decide what sort of a career
or business they might want to go for, or define what hobbies or college course might suit
someone. Again, this is on my website www.radiance-solutions.co.uk/essenceguides3.htm
I also love to help Young People and have specific materials available about communication
with them, and helping them to make the transition into adulthood.
I have other guides such as 'Confirming your Joy', as well as the Meditation and Stress Busting
ones, all available via www.radiance-solutions.co.uk/essenceguides.htm There are ones
related to Creativity, and Spirituality, and Evolving Consciousness as well.
Creativity is not just about the generally recognised arts, it includes all sorts of
things, like cooking, sewing, woodwork, gardening, flower arranging, decorating, you name it,
we all have some creativity in us. Creativity is also often an outcome of curiosity, which
children usually have in abundance, so looking at things around you can naturally lead on to
creating something in relation to that.
Creativity helps you express yourself, and your appreciation of life. Both of those
help add to your sense of confidence and satisfaction because you are interacting more
with the world around you through your creativity, which also involves a deep level of
noticing details. So I always advocate that people watch other people, animals, plants,
anything at all, and really note the finer details of behaviour, natural beauty, and the
amazing diversity of life, the interaction between things, and also how things function so
incredibly well – including our own bodies. It is equally inspiring to know that even if
we may not function that well all the time, we can always do something about helping
ourselves return to our optimum state.
More details of the HELPFUL LIFE COACHING TOOLS
available hereThere are some specific pointers in there that will be helpful to Mums returning to
work, plus an example form called "Improving Belief in Self as Parent and as having
Valuable Skills & a Right to a Career of Own Choosing".Life Coaching Pack of All 3 Achievable Goal Planning Sections
How to Maximise Success, Help to Decide, and all FORMS £6.50
(which gives a saving of 50p on buying them separately as detailed below).
[The sections are also available separately so that people who don't need the "help to
decide" section can save by just buying the other two. And sometimes people just want
the "help to decide" section and then take it from there themselves because they might
already know about life coaching, but that is a unique extra developed by me. Or people
might just want to use my forms and look at my examples, although I do obviously
recommend looking at the 2nd section too, as there is so much useful information in it.]
Life Coaching 1 How to HELP yourself DECIDE WHAT you really want to do £1.50Help with deciding on your goals in the first place. It's best to get really clear before you
begin the planning stage so that you don't waste time and effort.
For example, you could be trying to decide which course to study, what to do as a career
(or change of career), or for a hobby etc, but you can also apply it to any decision you
are not sure about (like moving home, ending a relationships, travelling etc).
We do sometimes subconsciously block our own progress, particularly if we are not sure
what we want, or if we don't have enough self esteem or confidence in ourselves.
Life Coaching 2 HOW TO develop achievable Goal Plans, and put realistic
Includes details of what to think about before starting your plan.
Life Coaching 3 Goal Setting FORMS £3
Includes blank form for your use, plus a tutor form with guidelines on,
Examples include: 1) paying off debts, 2) losing weight and getting fit alongside study
I really hope that this has been helpful, and that anyone interested in planning to achieve
goals will take the next step and get the life coaching packs, but please do also feel
free to phone or email with any questions, or if you would like further support.
Whatever choices you make
best wishes!
To get a bit of healthy discussion going between our experts, Julia has a follow up post to last weeks Wednesday Wisdom on Body Confidence. (This was on another website, but I have left the mention in so that it makes sense as you read.)
I agree with Star's 11th July Wednesday Wisdom Blog "Body Confidence", but of course there are many other things we can love about our bodies than how they look.
I am continuously amazed by how well we are put together, how our bodies work, and the incredible things we can do with them.
I am grateful for the systems that function to keep me alive and well. Just look at the details – isn't it incredible? Aren't we incredible!
I like to feel strong and fit, and am pleased that I can do physical work sometimes, and feel that different kind of tiredness at the end of a day that is really satisfying, and bodes for a sound night's sleep that is really renewing. The more muscles we use the better – it's not so great to do things that strain some areas and leave others untouched – but we can remedy this by doing other things which do provide more of a balanced form of exercise and make us feel good all over.
I love to dance. It's amazing how we can wriggle and shake and twist, bend and spin and kick. I revel in the feeling of it, and being able to express a response to good music in this way is wonderful. I make sure to roll my shoulders to release tension, and sway and rotate my hips at least some of the time, to prevent them from stiffening up as I get older. I often have a good laugh too, by the way.
Yoga and martial arts are great, not only for the movements that stretch us and keep us supple, but also for the balance we develop. From the centre of our bodies we can then move our limbs more effectively.
Lots of sports test your abilities and skills. I tend to prefer individual non-competitive ones such as windsurfing and climbing, but of course there are loads of team sports and things you can do with your friends too.
Swimming is fantastic for overall body exercise and way of keeping fit, and doesn't put any weight bearing strain on your skeletal frame. Walking is absolutely excellent for you, especially if you can do it in a lovely natural environment which is soft underfoot and beautiful to enjoy. The steady movement not only exercises us in a balanced way, it also allows stress to seep away, and our breathing to deepen and cleanse us.
Exercise has many added benefits – it boosts good brain chemistry (but don't overdo it as it can actually become addictive because of this). It also helps toxins to clear from all areas of our bodies as we move and breathe to stimulate all our systems.
It's great if you also drink more water to help clear toxins out after exercise, or anytime in fact, rather than go for other drinks all the time. If we are exercising well, then we also tend to go naturally for more healthy foods, rather than comfort foods. Food is something else we can really appreciate and enjoy in a sensory way – the taste and aroma's, as well as the visual. And if we eat the right things for our bodies, that of course also helps them to function better.
Of course, it is more than just the physical that we can love. I advocate total mind-body-spirit balance if you want to really make the best of life, and give yourself every reason to love and appreciate yourself, and your interaction with the world around you.
We are physical beings experiencing life here – ideally in energetic balance between the earth and the universe. We need to find ways to stimulate our minds, and have fun at the same time. And we need to look at our spiritual side too, to make life satisfying and meaningful. I can help with this. Why not take a look at some of my guides and other articles on this blog or on my website, such as "Breathing to Balance….", "How to Feel Great", "Philosophy & Sensuality", "Spiritual Coaching". "Being Lighter than this…" looks at a blend of the mental and physical to optimise performance in any area, including sports, studies, interviews, and public appearances.
I really advocate being creative and sensual in life, as well as developing practical skills, and using our minds as tools. We can use our awareness and intention to notice and enjoy things, as well as to learn new things, all of which enhance how we live.
We can fine-tune ourselves to live optimally, and really get the best out of life. As a Counsellor and Stress Consultant, I can help deal with any emotional issues that might get in the way of finding your balance here, and of becoming comfortable with yourself and with others. And as a Life Coach, I can also help you to plan how best to move forwards with anything you might wish to achieve.
We can look around us at the amazing complexity and diversity of things; how the many eco-systems of the earth work, the intricate details and variety of life, and also how the solar system incredibly allows life to exist here. I hope that you can enjoy a sense of wonder at it all, and share it with your children too. If we can hold onto that sense of child-like wonder in life, and not let it be dulled by work and other pressures, then it stimulates both mental and spiritual curiosity, and boosts your overall enjoyment of life.
Look also at the amazing skills and unique attributes we have, or can develop. Life is chock-full of opportunities to use them, to explore, to learn, and to become more and more of who we can be.
So, I encourage you to think holistically rather than putting too much emphasis on one area, and try to optimise your overall life experience. Loving it all means that you cannot help loving yourself because you are part of it.

Safe Cave Meditation for Relaxation, Renewal & Confidence – THE SCRIPT (includes some extra tips at the end)
You know there is a cave somewhere
in your imagination – that you can go to
if you want PEACE & QUIET.
I want you to take yourself there now
and just wander around checking it out
before you sit down in the best spot.
You feel SAFE in your cave, and secure.
It's a place where you can be CALM
and RELAX, and LET GO of worries.
It's a place where you can REST
and RE-CHARGE before carrying on.
It's a place you can ride out ANY storm.
So settle down and make sure
you are comfortable & warm.
Now take some LONG SLOW BREATHS
and count them as you let go of worries – 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 –
As you count you RELAX more & more – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 –
Count until you feel sleepy – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12.
If any thoughts do arise, just set them aside –
let them wash away in the stream
that is gurgling gently nearby.
wash, washing away in the stream.
Now FEEL SOFT LIGHTS in your cave –
Maybe fairy candles or glow worms – to SOOTHE you.
They have come to help you RE-CHARGE.
So now focus on RENEWING YOURSELF.
Feel their light COMFORTING you
and gently giving you NEW ENERGY.
With every BREATH, feel more LIGHT
steadily coming INTO your body.
BREATHE IT IN and feel it in your chest & abdomen –
in ALL parts of your body, your head, and your limbs.
Now feel it warming your heart
with the YELLOW LIGHT OF CONFIDENCE.
Also now you feel an ORANGE GLOW
in the lower parts of your body,
which gives you a sense of STRENGTH.
Feel that VITALITY spread –
and join with the yellow confident light
and RISE OUT TO SURROUND YOU.
You now have A BUBBLE PROTECTING YOU,
which you can take out into the world
and use anytime to BOOST yourself.
Use it for difficult situations
to keep you STEADY in yourself.
TRUST yourself to REMEMBER this.
Now just focus on your breathing
as you FEEL THAT ENERGY IN & AROUND YOU.
Give thanks for this, and everything else you have to be grateful for.
Then count again, backwards to retunr – 12 – 11 – 10 – and on
to – 9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – breathing more lightly now – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 –
and feel yourself ready to stretch, and rise up.
Move about a bit, rub hands on thighs etc – if you need to ensure you come back fully to the present moment. If you go deep into a meditation, it can take a few moments to be properly present afterwards. Having a drink of water helps too.
After a bit of practice with your imagination, you should be able to imagine that bubble around you at any moment you might need it. After a bit more time, it can even happen automatically, so you will then never feel quite so vulnerable again.
If you want to, you could even ask the fairies or glow worms to make you wings, and feel what it is like to wear them, and imagine what you could do with them. You can then imagine you have them any time you want to rise above a situation.
You can use just the first part of this meditation to help you fall asleep if you have difficulty with this. You could use the second half to help you wake up in the morning too if you wish.
If you have difficulties with communication, or need to prepare for a public performance, you could also add in a bit where the lovely pale blue of the stream water rinses your throat, washing away fear of speaking, and letting you feel what it is like to be clear, and concise, with what you want to say, so that you can use this experience in real life too.
There is a saying in LIFE COACHING that if you ACT AS IF something is true (pretend you are, for example, cool, calm, and collected), then it is like having the real experience of being that, so it becomes easier for you to learn that skill. (This can even apply to falling asleep – if you have trouble with this, then act as if you are pretending to someone else that you are asleep, like children sometimes do with parents, then before you know it, it may actually be so.)
Another way to boost confidence is to say "I can do it, I can do it, I can do this!" to the rhythm of your steps when walking, or hand claps, like a chant or mantra. Children could have fun with that part of it too, or might like to make up their own. So might you.

The Libya situation is a load of bullcrap. Several years ago President Bush lifted sanctions and conducted multi-billion $ oil deal for his Big Oil constituents. Despite the fact Colonel Kadafy is a terrorist responsible for the Lockerbie incident. 2 years ago Conservative American Senators Graham and McCain met with Kadafy in person and praised him as good guy and partner against terrorism. Wikileaks recently exposed these frauds - with comments how they promised Kadafy free military equipment and C130 aircraft as favor for his "partnership". Which had not crap about real alliance...it was simply about making $ for the industrial lobbyist donors. How totally disingenuous of these Senators...whom first praised Kadify as partner on behalf of their Big $ political donors....then AFTER the Libyan rebellion, now all of sudden pretend they do not like Kadafy.
Let's not kid ourselves, it's all about the $. It's never about "the people" or human rights unless the Corporatists can get $ out of the deal. British Petreleum and American Oil did huge deals with Kadafy and then he was our friend. Then the west pretends he is bad guy when Kadafy is politically out of favor. Not much different than the Iraq situation under Hussein in many respects.

text: Home > Life This ancient Philippine sea creature has survived for millions of years—but for how much longer? Timothy James Dimacali Posted at Oct 08 2020 02:36 AM | Updated as of Oct 08 2020 12:51 PM Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Nautilus fossils have been found in Calatagan, Batangas, dating back some 4 million years. The specimens bear a close resemblance to the modern-day Nautilus pompilius, which still lives in Philippine waters but is almost endangered due to overfishing for its beautiful shell. The Nautilus or "lagan" as it's called in the Philippines is prized for its beautifully curved pearlescent shell, and is considered a "living fossil" because it has remained almost unchanged for millions of years. Yet despite having survived for longer than modern humans have walked the Earth, the Nautilus' days may be numbered because of humans themselves. The oldest known examples in the country were recently discovered and described in the September 2020 issue of the Philippine Journal of Science and dated to between the late Miocene and early Pliocene epoch—making them at least 3.6 million years old. While the researchers could not confirm the exact species of Nautilus that they had discovered due to the fossils' poor state of preservation, they did note a very close similarity to the still-living Nautilus pompilius. Commonly known as the "Chambered Nautilus" or "Pearly Nautilus," N. pompilius can be found in the Philippines and is often cited in textbooks as an example of mathematical perfection in nature. Scientists from the University of the Philippines, the National Museum of the Philippines, and Ramon Magsaysay State University found the fossils in sedimentary deposits in Talim Point in Lian, Batangas. Ancient Philippine biodiversity "This discovery, along with other fossil work in the area, shows us that this area of Batangas was quite diverse at the time that this Nautilus was living, with a coral reef teeming with marine organisms familiar to us today," said Dr. Alyssa M. Peleo-Alampay, one of the paper's authors, in an email interview. Today, the aptly named Talim Point is a dagger-shaped peninsula with a wide stretch of sandy beach that looks out to the West Philippine Sea. But back when these Nautilus fossils were still alive, much of what we know as the Philippines was underwater. The abundance of sedimentary rock in the country today attests to this submarine past. "Limestones, which are ancient coral reefs, are common throughout the Philippines. They indicate deposition in a marine environment and are also indicators of a warm, tropical climate," said co-author Dr. Allan Gil S. Fernando. Apart from the Nautilus fossils, the researchers also found fossilized plankton, sea urchins, and shellfish, as well as coral fragments. These led them to believe that the area was once a shallow marine environment near a coral reef. "The fossils that we found are a combination of shallow and deep-water species, and a few of them are fragmented. We believe these fossils were not originally in the area we found them in but were instead transported by waves from somewhere nearby," they said. Nautilus overfishing Sadly, however, the Nautilus' remarkable beauty has been their undoing. A study by Traffic.org pointed to the Philippines as one of the world's main sources of Nautilus products despite a ban on Nautilus fishing in some parts of the country. The industry seems to be completely driven by overseas demand: Nautilus is not considered a delicacy anywhere in the Philippines, due to its tough and difficult to preserve meat, nor does the creature figure in any local cultural traditions. As a result, their population in the Philippines has declined by as much as 80 percent due to overfishing. "There is a significant lack of management and control on the fishing of nautilus in the Philippines," Traffic.org noted in its report. "Absent adequate information on the population status of stocks, and specifics of the life history traits of nautilus, including slow growth and low reproductive rates, makes the species very susceptible to overharvest." This lack of information is ironic, given how the fossils discovered in Batangas have put the Philippines in the spotlight of the global scientific community: the finds are not just the oldest fossil Nautilus in the Philippines, they are also the only known examples in the world to date from the late Miocene to early Pliocene epoch, between 3.6 million and 11.6 million years ago. "This particular research reveals the importance of the Philippines in providing information about the evolution and taxonomy of the genus Nautilus," explained Abigael Castro, the paper's corresponding author. "There is a gap in the fossil record, and the Batangas Nautilus fills this gap." That we have come so far in understanding this ancient and enigmatic creature, only for it to slip away into oblivion by our own hands would be a tragedy beyond measure.

PRETORIA – Five suspects – four women aged 27 to 42 as well as a 32-year-old man – have been arrested in Pretoria for the murder of Prince Lethukuthula Zulu, 50, who was killed in Gauteng earlier this month.
South African Police Service (SAPS) Gauteng spokesman Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said the five suspects were arrested on Friday evening.
"This [arrest] is the result of a meticulous investigation and hard work by the Provincial Investigation Team who, since reporting the incident to Honeydew SAPS about two weeks ago, has been able to put together evidence of 'information who saw the murder case,' said Peters.
"Critical evidence that could easily have been overlooked was effectively extracted from the crime scene by SAPS forensic scientists. The processed evidence helped the investigative team establish a possible link between the suspects and the crime. "
The prince was the eldest son of Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini and Queen Sibongile MaDlamini. He was found dead at his Northwold home in Johannesburg. Prince Lethukuthula was next to the Zulu throne.
Peters said the suspects were in possession of several items stolen from the murdered prince.
"During the arrest, one of the suspects was found in possession of various substances and these were seized for further investigation into the possibility that the deceased and his business partner were drugged before the cash and other valuables are not stolen from them. Several suspected stolen items were seized from the residences of the suspects. "
She said the investigation was continuing, as police hoped to uncover more evidence to build "a strong case that can stand in court."
"The investigation could also help determine whether the suspects may have committed previous similar crimes where victims were drugged and robbed. At this point, the suspects face a charge of murder and theft, "said Peters.
"The suspects are scheduled to appear in Randburg Magistrates' Court on Monday, November 23, 2020."
Police first opened an investigation file when his body was found by security guards at his home in the Graceland residential complex in Northwold.
Lethukuthula's partner friend was apparently found sleeping in another room in the house when the guards discovered the murder.
