Artificial intelligence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science, which aims to create it. Major AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents,"[1] where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximize its chances of success.[2] John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956,[3] defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines."
To some of us amateurs it is the ability of an artificial intelligent agent to learn, and to use what it learns to answer our questions.
For most questions AI learns the answers from us, or the computer records we have established.
Many times robots or avatars are used to exemplify AI and in effect have a meeting of minds – theirs and ours.
AI has the most difficulty making cognitive judgments, and to do this effectively is going to require a melding of minds – theirs and ours.
It is going to have to be a joint effort. The question is do we humans really want to have a melding of our minds with AI for the sake of convenience and efficiency and speed?
What have we got to learn from a machine using quantum mechanics to artificially identify our problems and hopefully solve them?
More importantly what have we got to lose in this proposed mind meld? Could it be our very humanity? Will we be the ones who come out on top or will the AI's of this new mind meld venture take over and create a new reality with the knowledge we have given them?
Do we dare risk this getting out of control with the AI's creating a virtual reality virus to subvert our best interests?
This can all be very scary especially when we remember that it may well be the AI's asking the questions, and our answers that make us the subject of our own undoing.
Why must man always aspire to go beyond the next boundary? Is it because we have a self-destructive nature, or does curiosity get the better of us, or perhaps is it God's will that we seek to know the answers to all the questions of the universe as we seek to know it?
Let's not let the machines of the future take control of our future. Let's rely on or own natural intelligence. It's time to take a step back and start relying on our faith in God again. It's time to start trusting our instincts instead of those of some machine.

Question about Dell OptiPlex GX1 PC Desktop
My Dell Optiplex GX1 will not boot. The Monitor becomes black when video cable is connected. But when removed, no signal comes on the Monitor. What is the problem?
Posted by bolston on
Well, the GX-1 is quite the workhorse but has been around for a long time! I'm leaning towards it's dead or dying but let's look for a few things. First, when you power it up, is the power button green, maybe orange or even not at all? Do you hear or see any indications that it is running at all- sounds, beeps, etc? Next, have you tried a second monitor to see if it duplicates the same message? (These are just troubleshooting steps I'm having you go through but it's nice to rule out some stuff.) Have you installed a graphics card in it or is it still running on the onboard video? Let me know and we'll take it further if need be.
Check whether ur ram is working or not. remove the cpu side door and remove the ram from the ram slot and clean it using a eraser gently and fix again it back and power ur pc on and check it

Brief Answer: Negative pregnancy test? Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Firstly, if you had unprotected sex 6 days before your menses were due, you should have been in your safe period. Pregnancy shouldn't have been an issue. If your pregnancy test was negative after 1 day of delayed menses, then there is no need to take any drugs at present. Please don't take mifepristone without a positive pregnancy test and without medical supervision. You could be late due to various reasons like hormonal imbalance or stress. With a negative test, you are not pregnant. Don't take any more drugs now. Wait for your body to be naturally regular again. My advice would be to use a regular form of contraception like oc pills. There are several in the market and it will save you un-necessary worry like this.

Brief Answer: UPT is accurate Detailed Answer: Urine pregnancy test being negative, is usually almost 98% accurate these days. The quality of tests available these days in the market is good ans sensitive to detect early pregnancy. If you have taken the whole mtp kit, there will be some withdrawal bleeding. If there was was a complete abortion, it should have bleed more,at least like a period.

Asah – Barah presents The WHISPERS OF THE WEAVE- FREE THE ARTIST exhibition
The exhibition slated to run from the 7th-10th Dec 2013 to commemorate the anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights all over the world has been carefully put together, paying great attention to detail, standard and quality of the art to be show cased. The exhibition will be featuring both the performing and the visual arts categories.
Performing art categories to be show cased include traditional forms of dance, contemporary forms of dance, poetry recitation, singing, music performance and film.
Visual art categories include hand-made wall hangings of various media, paintings, sculpture and pottery. Each art form features an exclusive application of local fabric and other locally available textile material in a style that has never been seen on the shores of Nigeria before now.
The exhibition aims to:
· Shed light on the economic plight of artistic Nigerians
· Highlight the need for public and private partnerships in sustainable artistic programs.
· Call for the resuscitation of indigenous art forms.
· Create platforms of opportunity to showcase various art forms in one setting.
· Promote art as an income generation strategy for the sustenance of Nigeria's art and culture practitioners and advocates.
· Show that art is a discipline that offers economic freedom and supports tourism interventions.
"I am convinced that if we each start in the area of our gifting and spheres of influence, we can make a change in this nation without waiting for the government to get to it. There are so many creative people working as bankers, doctors, etc in order to pay their bills. There is wanton job dissatisfaction all over the place but people need to stay alive and so they plug into the system for it to pay them, while they leave their art and creativity behind.
Artistes who can afford to push their art and succeed in the Nigeria of today are very few, while most others are swallowed up by frustration of the system, as it is literally almost impossible to access funding or any other kind of support. The result is the teeming number of painters and sculptures that display and hawk their art and craft on busy roads, where their work is devalued and more than most often, underpriced if bought at all.
At Asah- Bara, we believe that a nation's cultural identity, traditions and trends are in the hands of the artistes in each nation and that if the improvement of one right facilitates advancement of the others, then likewise, the deprivation of one right adversely affects the others. "
- Xoxa Icha, Project Visionary and Artiste, Asah Bara.
A percentage of what is realized from the sale of art work at the WHISPERS OF THE WEAVE- free the artist exhibition will be used to support returning trafficked/ migrants through PROJECT RAHAB, and also support humanitarian assistance and free health care projects through the 8thMile Project..

– Microsoft, Apple, Firefox, Opera and Google compete to offer new web browser options for Internet users.
Microsoft recently released a development version (beta) for Internet Explorer 9, the browser that will try to recover the lost ground in recent years compared to Firefox (Mozilla), and Google Chrome.
The IE9 (available only for Windows 7 and Vista) includes several new features. It is faster and uses less resources than previous versions. It provides a minimalist look a-la Chrome-style, with very little edge maximizing the space available for the websites, and a single box used to enter address and start searching. There are no menus, only three icons that let you configure your browser.
The other browsers have also realeased updates. Firefox released version 6.3.1910, which corrects errors in the previous entry. And the development version of Firefox 4 (www.mozilla.com/firefox/beta/) shows a simpler interface and allows for frequently visited sites as shortcuts within the browser, and tabs and grouping renaming.
Chrome 6, the fastest
Google introduced version 6 of its browser (www.google.com/chrome), which adds fixes and optimizations, as well as the ability to synchronize user data among multiple computers. According to the company, version 7 of its browser will be 60 times faster than the 6 while using of video hardware of the user's PC to speed up the onscreen page layout.
Opera presented the 10.62 version of their browser (www.opera.com/browser/) with some cosmetic changes, the size of the tabs let you view a thumbnail of each open page and keeps the setup tools to share Photos and videos from your browser.
Apple is still committed to Safari, the WebKit-based browser available for PC and Mac ( www.apple.com/safari/) with a reader so it expands and highlights the text of a page and darken the rest of the site, makes blogs and news sites reading easier.

Purpose: For each team of five miners to use a compass and/or coordinates to find their hidden treasure and return to the spawn point, safe and sound.
Procedure: Teams will spawn at the top of the tower shown in the photo above. They will be assigned a direction North, South, East or West to go and search for their treasure.
Once they get to the coordinates, there are clues nearby to point them in the proper direction of the treasure. The four treasures in each direction include diamond pick axes, diamond swords, diamond helmets and diamond chest plate. Once the treasure is found each team member carries or wears their treasure as they trek back to the spawning point. The entire team must take a screenshot together wearing their treasure before they head back to the spawning site. They will email me the picture and I will post it on our Schoology web site. Finally, the team that takes a second screen shot at the top of the tower at the spawn site and emails it to me will win the game. This will be done in survival mode. Voxelmod was used to prevent mining of the spawning site. Once beyond the boundaries of the spawning site, the team members are free to do what they need to in order to survive. PVP, lava, TNT, water and dragon eggs have all been disabled.
Results: Stay tuned…

It is clear that there are a lot of people out there who don't understand what abuse is. Therefore, I've made this essay to define it. See also my companion essay on Relationship Do's.
Emotional and Physical Abuse
Emotional Abuse
To define emotional abuse we are going to look at a few different excerpts from various psychology articles and help guides.
One psychology article on emotional abuse says:
Unlike physical or sexual abuse, where a single incident constitutes abuse, emotional abuse is made up of a series of incidents, or a pattern of behavior that occurs over time.
Emotional abuse is more than just verbal insults, the most common definition of emotional abuse. Emotional abuse is a series of repeated incidents – whether intentional or not – that insults, threatens, isolates, degrades, humiliates, and/or controls another person.
It may include a pattern of one or more of the following abuses: insults, criticisms, aggressive demands or expectations, threats, rejection, neglect, blame, emotional manipulation and control, isolation, punishment, terrorizing, ignoring, or teasing.
Harassment, physical and sexual abuse, and witnessing abuse of others are also forms of emotional abuse.
Emotional abuse is not only under-reported, but it's effects are minimized. The famous childhood verse, "Sticks and stones my break my bones, but names will never hurt me" is simply not true. In fact, many physical and sexual abuse survivors have said that the emotional abuse was often more devastating and had longer-term effects.
Emotional abuse cuts to the core of a person, attacking their very being. Emotional abuse, if frequently enough, is usually internalized by the victim, and leaves them feeling fearful, insignificant, unworthy, untrusting, emotionally needy, undeserving and unloveable, and as if they were bad, deserving of punishment, and to blame.
Survivors of emotional abuse often have a hard time understanding my they feel so bad. The abuse may not sound like much, and often people around them will minimize the experience, telling them it's not so bad. But a climate of disregard for a person's feelings, where one is subjected to constant or frequent criticisms, being yelled at, or being ignored – has a deep and profound effect, attacking the very self-image and confidence of a person.
A help guide to domestic violence and abuse says:
There are many signs of an abusive relationship. The most telling sign is fear of your partner. If you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around your partner—constantly watching what you say and do in order to avoid a blow-up—chances are your relationship is unhealthy and abusive. Other signs that you may be in an abusive relationship include a partner who belittles you or tries to control you, and feelings of self-loathing, helplessness, and desperation.
When people think of domestic abuse, they often picture battered women who have been physically assaulted. But not all abusive relationships involve violence. Just because you're not battered and bruised doesn't mean you're not being abused. Many men and women suffer from emotional abuse, which is no less destructive. Unfortunately, emotional abuse is often minimized or overlooked—even by the person being abused.
Understanding Emotional Abuse:
The aim of emotional abuse is to chip away at your feelings of self-worth and independence. If you're the victim of emotional abuse, you may feel that there is no way out of the relationship or that without your abusive partner you have nothing.
Emotional abuse includes verbal abuse such as yelling, name-calling, blaming, and shaming. Isolation, intimidation, and controlling behavior also fall under emotional abuse. Additionally, abusers who use emotional or psychological abuse often throw in threats of physical violence or other repercussions if you don't do what they want.
You may think that physical abuse is far worse than emotional abuse, since physical violence can send you to the hospital and leave you with scars. But, the scars of emotional abuse are very real, and they run deep. In fact, emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse— sometimes even more so.
Another psychology article about emotional abuse says:
Emotional abuse is elusive. Unlike physical abuse, the people doing it and receiving it may not even know it's happening.
It can be more harmful than physical abuse because it can undermine what we think about ourselves. It can cripple all we are meant to be as we allow something untrue to define us. Emotional abuse can happen between parent and child, husband and wife, among relatives and between friends.
The abuser projects their words, attitudes or actions onto an unsuspecting victim usually because they themselves have not dealt with childhood wounds that are now causing them to harm others.
In the following areas, ask these questions to see if you are abusing or being abused:
- Humiliation, degradation, discounting, negating, judging, criticizing:
- Does anyone make fun of you or put you down in front of others?
- Do they tease you, use sarcasm as a way to put you down or degrade you?
- When you complain do they say that "it was just a joke" and that you are too sensitive?
- Do they tell you that your opinion or feelings are "wrong?"
- Does anyone regularly ridicule, dismiss, disregard your opinions, thoughts, suggestions, and feelings?
- Domination, control, and shame:
- Do you feel that the person treats you like a child?
- Do they constantly correct or chastise you because your behavior is "inappropriate?"
- Do you feel you must "get permission" before going somewhere or before making even small decisions?
- Do they control your spending?
- Do they treat you as though you are inferior to them?
- Do they make you feel as though they are always right?
- Do they remind you of your shortcomings?
- Do they belittle your accomplishments, your aspirations, your plans or even who you are?
- Do they give disapproving, dismissive, contemptuous, or condescending looks, comments, and behavior?
- Accusing and blaming, trivial and unreasonable demands or expectations, denies own shortcomings:
- Do they accuse you of something contrived in their own minds when you know it isn't true?
- Are they unable to laugh at themselves?
- Are they extremely sensitive when it comes to others making fun of them or making any kind of comment that seems to show a lack of respect?
- Do they have trouble apologizing?
- Do they make excuses for their behavior or tend to blame others or circumstances for their mistakes?
- Do they call you names or label you?
- Do they blame you for their problems or unhappiness?
- Do they continually have "boundary violations" and disrespect your valid requests?
- Emotional distancing and the "silent treatment," isolation, emotional abandonment or neglect:
- Do they use pouting, withdrawal or withholding attention or affection?
- Do they not want to meet the basic needs or use neglect or abandonment as punishment?
- Do they play the victim to deflect blame onto you instead of taking responsibility for their actions and attitudes?
- Do they not notice or care how you feel?
- Do they not show empathy or ask questions to gather information?
- Codependence and enmeshment:
- Does anyone treat you not as a separate person but instead as an extension of themselves?
- Do they not protect your personal boundaries and share information that you have not approved?
- Do they disrespect your requests and do what they think is best for you?
- Do they require continual contact and haven't developed a healthy support network among their own peers?
Emotional abuse, while not leaving a physical mark, is devastating. Like the articles mentioned, it is commonly dismissed – and that is a major concern, considering the amount of damage it causes. While an abusive relationship might not be physically or sexually abusive, it is always emotionally abusive.
Physical Abuse
The definition of physical abuse is much more well known and straightforward. Wikipedia describes it as "an act of another party involving contact intended to cause feelings of physical pain, injury, or other physical suffering or bodily harm." loveisrespect.org describes it as "any intentional and unwanted contact with you or something close to your body." Both sources go on to list various examples of physical abuse. However, since most of these examples are well known to most people, I will not be going over them here.
Respect is Vital
Respect. A must in any healthy relationship. First, let's go over the definition, and then see what psychology says. According to the dictionary, it means "an attitude of deference, admiration, or esteem; regard." Some synonyms are: appreciation, esteem, awe, consideration, honor, recognition, deference, dignity, and regard. Respect is a very positive and uplifting thing.
A psychology article on romantic relationships says:
Mutual Respect. If you don't have this - well, it's going to be a tough road. This doesn't mean you agree with everything your partner says or does. It does mean that you have admiration for each other, and steady undercurrent of love and trust throughout your relationship. You also have each other's back.
John Gottman, a pioneer in studying couples and marriage, could tell within minutes whether a couple was in it for the long haul or if they weren't going to make it - with startling accuracy. How could he tell? If there were any signs of contempt in the couple's interaction with each other, the relationship usually didn't make it.
Abuse, whether it is physical, verbal, or emotional, defies mutual respect in every way, shape and form. You have to have mutual respect to have a healthy relationship.
Another psychology article on romantic relationships says:
Respect, respect, respect. Inside and outside the relationship, act in ways so that your partner always maintains respect for you. Mutual respect is essential to a good relationship.
A third one, titled "In Relationships, Respect May Be Even More Crucial Than Love," says:
It is useful, I think, to compare and contrast parent-child relationships with husband-wife relationships. In both of these, respect is absolutely essential for the relationship to work. Love without respect is dangerous; it can crush the other person, sometimes literally. To respect is to understand that the other person is not you, not an extension of you, not a reflection of you, not your toy, not your pet, not your product. In a relationship of respect, your task is to understand the other person as a unique individual and learn how to mesh your needs with his or hers and help that person achieve what he or she wants to achieve. Your task is not to control the other person or try to change him or her in a direction that you desire but he or she does not. I think this applies as much to parent-child relationships as to husband-wife relationships.
Love brings bliss to both types of relationships, but only if tempered by respect. Love adds joy and provides the emotional bonds that help carry the relationship through hard times. The attachment aspect of love is even more valuable in our relationship with our spouse than in that with our children, because marriage, at least in principle, is forever.
My children have moved on, and I had to be prepared for that right from their beginning; but my wife and I will be together until death do us part. It is not unseemly to speak of my wife as my "better half," but it would be unseemly to speak of my child in such terms. Our children do not and should not see themselves as part of us; their job is to move on, beyond us, into a future that we will never know. And if we see them as part of us, we will be torn apart when they leave.
Love is not all you need, nor all your wife or husband needs, and certainly not all your children need. We all need respect, especially from those who are closest and most intimately connected with us.
And the fourth one says:
"At the heart of my program," writes Gottman, a University of Washington psychology professor, "is the simple truth that happy marriages are based on deep friendship. By this I mean a mutual respect for each other's company," plus an intimate knowledge of each other's quirks, likes and dislikes.
This is all proof that respect is essential in any relationship. Now, just so everything is clear, I want to give the definition for disrespect. So, according to the dictionary, disrespect means "contempt; rudeness." Let's continue.
Fighting vs Arguing
We know that conflicts are inevitable, and that you can have conflict and still be in a healthy relationship. I want to look at the actual types of conflict. One is healthy, one is not.
One article says:
But is there a difference between "arguing" and "fighting?" Actually, there is. And the difference can mean creating either understanding and harmony, or confusion and bitterness.
So what's the difference between arguing and fighting and what is it that most of us do? A lot of families simply engage in trading insults, taking nasty swipes or expressing mean sentiments. That's not arguing. That's much more indicative of fighting and it's very destructive. Arguing, on the other hand, is a lot more productive than that. It's usually characterized by the effective expression of opposing ideas and feelings and usually evolves from an atmosphere of caring, understanding and of feeling safe. And arguing is much more likely to result in coming to a happy and mutual resolution than fighting is.
Another psychologist says:
I've never seen a healthy couple that doesn't argue. They never fight, however - they argue. If a couple comes into my office and tells me they've never argued, something isn't quite right. You can argue without fighting. Arguing is non-combative - you and your partner state your points of view without name-calling or raising your voice. Sometimes you agree to disagree - and that's okay.
And (from the same psychologist):
Healthy couples don't fight - they argue. There's a big difference.
Raising voices
Bringing up the past
Calm voices
Mutual respect
Focused on one issue
This is pretty self-explanatory. Fighting is extremely destructive and unhealthy; it tears down a relationship. Arguing, on the other hand, is productive and healthy; it helps build a relationship and make it stronger.
Assertiveness vs Aggressiveness
The definition for aggression is "hostile or destructive behavior or actions." Obviously, it is extremely unhealthy. The healthy alternative is assertiveness. Psychology Today says this about assertiveness:
Behaviorally, assertiveness is all about asking for what you want in a manner that respects others. Assertive people don't shy away from defending their points of view or goals, or from trying to influence others. In terms of affect, assertiveness means reacting to positive and negative emotions without aggression or resorting to passivity.
It's crucial to note the first sentence. It is all about respect. Yes, we have circled back to that. I cannot stress how important it is. The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
Passive Aggressiveness
One psychologist says:
Passive aggression, [cut], is a deliberate and masked way of expressing covert feelings of anger.
Couched in backhanded compliments, insulting gifts, hostile sticky notes, and behind angry smiles, passive aggression involves a variety of behaviors (hence, the overuse of the term) designed to get back at another person without the passive aggressor having to own up to or articulate their true feelings. Passive aggression is motivated by a person's fear of expressing anger directly.
Passive aggressive people take genuine pleasure in frustrating others. They are masters at getting others to act out their angry feelings--to explode and appear crazy--while the passive aggressive person sits back and watches the emotional outburst with satisfaction, total control, and always with their own poise intact.
Another psychologist says:
Passive aggressive behavior takes many forms but can generally be described as a non-verbal aggression that manifests in negative behavior. It is where you are angry with someone but do not or cannot tell them. Instead of communicating honestly when you feel upset, annoyed, irritated or disappointed you may instead bottle the feelings up, shut off verbally, give angry looks, make obvious changes in behavior, be obstructive, sulky or put up a stone wall. It may also involve indirectly resisting requests from others by evading or creating confusion around the issue. Not going along with things. It can either be covert (concealed and hidden) or overt (blatant and obvious).
Passive aggression is a destructive pattern of behavior that can be seen as a form of emotional abuse in relationships that bites away at trust between people. It is a creation of negative energy in the ether which is clear to those involved and can create immense hurt and pain to all parties.
Pretty much self-explanatory. Passive aggressiveness is a lot harder to spot than pure aggressiveness.
Manipulation and Control
Manipulate means "to negotiate, control, or influence (something or someone) cleverly, skilfully, or deviously." Control means "to exercise authoritative or dominating influence over." Both are fundamental parts of abuse. You will have noticed that both words have popped up multiple times above, and they will continue to do so.
Now, giving and taking is part of any healthy relationship. I am not talking about if you nicely interfere and say to your sibling/best friend, 'let it go' or 'it's not worth it.' That familiarity comes with any close relationship.
That is also very different from controlling anyone. See the definition above? We're going add to it. Dominate means "to exert a supreme, guiding influence on or over." So control means someone is trying decide and dictate everything another person should think or do (either overall or just in that moment). It is not a suggestion, but an order.
The Four Horsemen
Otherwise known as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Originally from the bible, renowned marriage psychologist John Gottman uses the term to describe the four behaviors that are extremely destructive for any relationship. We will be using the same two articles (here and here) for all four definitions:
The First Horseman shows itself by attacking and blaming your spouse's personality or character. For instance: "You are just lazy! You never take out the trash!" Criticism seems to be close to complaining, but it is different. It is an attack on the very nature of the person in question. Complaining is about expressing anger, displeasure, distress or disagreement about your spouse behavior or an event.
You can tell the difference by the way it is said: Criticism begins by saying "YOU are…. (fill in the blanks)" while a complaint starts the sentence with "I...(need, don't like, etc.)"
Criticizing your partner is different than offering a critique or voicing a complaint! The latter two are about specific issues, whereas the former is an ad hominem attack: it is an attack on your partner at the core. In effect, you are dismantling his or her whole being when you criticize.
- Complaint: "I was scared when you were running late and didn't call me. I thought we had agreed that we would do that for each other."
- Criticism: "You never think about how your behavior is affecting other people. I don't believe you are that forgetful, you're just selfish! You never think of others! You never think of me!"
The Second Horseman. Here the intention is to insult and psychologically abuse your partner. Here are some examples of this:
Insults and name-calling.
Hostile Humor - using contemptuous jokes or stories.
Mockery - the subtle put-down.
Negative Body Language such as sneering and rolling your eyes.
The second horseman is contempt. When we communicate in this state, we are truly mean - treating others with disrespect, mocking them with sarcasm, ridicule, name-calling, mimicking, and/or body language such as eye-rolling. The target of contempt is made to feel despised and worthless.
"You're 'tired?' Cry me a river. I've been with the kids all day, running around like mad to keep this house going and all you do when you come home from work is flop down on that sofa like a child and play those idiotic computer games. I don't have time to deal with another kid - try to be more pathetic…"
In his research, Dr. Gottman found that couples that are contemptuous of each other are more likely to suffer from infectious illness (colds, the flu, etc.) than others, as their immune systems weaken! Contempt is fueled by long-simmering negative thoughts about the partner - which come to a head in the perpetrator attacking the accused from a position of relative superiority. Contempt is the single greatest predictor of divorce according to Dr. Gottman's work. It must be eliminated!
I am adding in a third article for contempt, because of how important this horseman is:
If you find yourself in the second situation, you're likely displaying contempt for your partner, and it could be putting your relationship in jeopardy.
Contempt, a virulent mix of anger and disgust, is far more toxic than simple frustration or negativity. It involves seeing your partner as beneath you, rather than as an equal.
"Contempt," says Gottman, "is the kiss of death."Defensiveness
The Third Horseman is evident when our automatic response to thinking we are being attacked is to react defensively. This may have been a lifesaver when we were running from wild creatures in pre-historic times. But when it occurs in arguments, it only escalates the conflict.
Here are some behaviors to look for, in yourself and others:
Denying Responsibility - "I'm not to blame."
Making Excuses, - "I couldn't help it. There were forces beyond my control…." "The dog ate my homework!"
Disagreeing with Negative Mind-Reading - Mind-reading shows up when one person says they know what you're thinking. If you start to argue about what they think you're thinking, the whole thing spirals out of control. "You think I'm lying. Well… I'm not." They may not be thinking that at all.
The Rubber Man/Rubber Woman Game - This is reminiscent of the childish saying "I'm rubber; you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!"
We've all been defensive. This horseman is nearly omnipresent when relationships are on the rocks. When we feel accused unjustly, we fish for excuses so that our partner will back off. Unfortunately, this strategy is almost never successful. Our excuses just tell our partner that we don't take them seriously, trying to get them to buy something that they don't believe, that we are blowing them off.
She: "Did you call Betty and Ralph to let them know that we're not coming tonight as you promised this morning?"
He: "I was just too darn busy today. As a matter of fact you know just how busy my schedule was. Why didn't you just do it?"
He not only responds defensively, but turns the table and makes it her fault. A non-defensive response would have been:
"Oops, I forgot. I should have asked you this morning to do it because I knew my day would be packed. Let me call them right now."
Although it is perfectly understandable for the male to defend himself in the example given above, this approach doesn't have the desired effect. The attacking spouse does not back down or apologize. This is because defensiveness is really a way of blaming your partner.
This happens when one spouse shuts down and erects a brick wall to end the argument. It turns out men do this more than women, probably because men are more easily physiologically overwhelmed than women. What looks like a neutral position is actually the ultimate powerful act of aggression.
Stonewalling occurs when the listener withdraws from the interaction. In other words, stonewalling is when one person shuts down and closes himself/herself off from the other. It is a lack of responsiveness to your partner and the interaction between the two of you. Rather than confronting the issues (which tend to accumulate!) with our partner, we make evasive maneuvers such as tuning out, turning away, acting busy, or engaging in obsessive behaviors. It takes time for the negativity created by the first three horsemen to become overwhelming enough that stonewalling becomes an understandable "out," but when it does, it frequently becomes a habit.
Lots for you to take in, and lots of crucial points. Let's continue. We'll talk about how they all connect in a minute.
The Three Different Marriage Styles
I will be using the same article written by John Gottman for all three styles:
Validating Couples
Marriages like Bert and Betty's, though, which emphasize communication and compromise, have long been held up as the ideal. Even when discussing a hot topic, they display a lot of ease and calm, and have a keen ability to listen to and understand each other's emotions.
That's why I call such couples "validators": In the midst of disagreement they still let their partners know that they consider his or her emotions valid, even if they don't agree with them. This expression of mutual respect tends to limit the number of arguments couples need to have.
Volatile Couples
How can people who seem to thrive on skirmishes live happily together? The truth is that not every couple who fights this frequently has a stable marriage. But we call those who do "volatile." Such couples fight on a grand scale and have an even grander time making up.
More than the other types, volatile couples see themselves as equals. They are independent sorts who believe that marriage should emphasize and strengthen their individuality. Indeed, they are very open with each other about their feelings--both positive and negative. These marriages tend to be passionate and exciting, as if the marital punch has been spiked with danger.
Conflict-Avoiding Couples
Moving from a volatile to an avoidant style of marriage, like Joe and Sheila's, is like leaving the tumult of a hurricane for the placid waters of a summer lake. Not much seems to happen in this type of marriage. A more accurate name for them is "conflict minimizers," because they make light of their differences rather than resolving them. This type of successful coupling flies in the face of conventional wisdom that links marital stability to skillful "talking things out."
The 5:1 Ratio
The 5:1 Ratio is another term from John Gottman. We will continue using the same article as above:
What really separates contented couples from those in deep marital misery is a healthy balance between their positive and negative feelings and actions toward each other.
Volatile couples, for example, stick together by balancing their frequent arguments with a lot of love and passion. But by balance I do not mean a 50-50 equilibrium. As part of my research I carefully charted the amount of time couples spent fighting versus interacting positively-- touching, smiling, paying compliments, laughing, etc. Across the board I found there was a very specific ratio that exists between the amount of positivity and negativity in a stable marriage, whether it is marked by validation, volatility, or conflict avoidance.
That magic ratio is 5 to 1. As long as there is five times as much positive feeling and interaction between husband and wife as there is negative, the marriage was likely to be stable over time. In contrast, those couples who were heading for divorce were doing far too little on the positive side to compensate for the growing negativity between them.
Continuing on that thread, from his official couples retreat website says:
During conflict discussions, the ratio of positive to negative interactions in relationships headed for divorce is 0.8:1, not 5:1, as it is in stable and happy couples.
From another psychology article:
In the mathematics of marriage, certain expressions of emotion carry a disproportionate amount of emotional weight. Expressions of contempt, Gottman has found, register at -4. Displays of disgust each count for three points in the negative column. Whining comes in at –1. On the other hand, a display of affection—a smile of sympathy, a touch—registers 4 on the plus side.
What does all of this mean? The 5:1 ratio makes it clear that even volatile couples have a lot more positive than negative interactions.
Let's now put all of these definitions and ideas together. Hopefully you have seen some obvious parallels already. These are the points I want to emphasize:
- Emotional abuse is a pattern; an isolated incident, or fight, does not count. These things need to happen over and over. It is also an umbrella – many of the specific things we talked about fall under it:
- The Four Horsemen count as emotional abuse.
- Fighting falls under emotional abuse.
- Aggressiveness and passive aggressiveness are destructive and disrespectful, as well as hostile, so they count as emotional abuse.
- Aggressiveness and passive aggressiveness are actions of criticism or contempt.
- Manipulation and control both count as emotional abuse.
- Contempt is the most destructive horseman, as well as the definition for disrespect.
You see that last point? Contempt, the most damaging and destructive horseman, is the definition for disrespect. Contempt is never respectful. Aggressiveness is also never respectful.
I cannot be any more clear: Nothing is more important than respect. Therefore, nothing is more damaging than disrespect.

We had a great weekend, as we most usually do. Cori spent a lot of time with her Yaya this weekend while we did some adult things. Friday we had dinner with some friends at their house. It was good to just hang out and catch up although, by Friday night I am so worn out!! Saturday was pretty un-eventful. We pretty much just hung out around the house all day! I did get out and run a few errands with Cori. She loves going to the mall! She waves and says "HEY" to almost everyone we pass by, and then turns to say "BYE BYE". People think she is so cute - I can see why!! Saturday night we had dinner at Red Lobster, (thanks to James' company giving us a gift card for Christmas) and then went out for some drinks and karaoke afterward! I love watching karaoke!!! It is so fun! Sunday was my day for laundry and lazyness! I finally got out of my pj's around 3 when I had to go pick up a prescription from Wal-greens. Dinner at my parents, as usual on Sunday night. My mom calls this "Family Night". We all have to sit at the table at eat and talk. Its fun, most of the time =).
Today I started a "life change". I don't call it a new years resolution, because let's face it, those don't work out! I am bound and determined to lose some of this weight I have put on over the years! I am at my heaviest now than I have ever been and I'm just not happy with what I see. My goal is to lose between 40-50 lbs! I know I can do it - and I know it will be hard. I have set my mind to it though. I really would like to lose about 15-20 before April 18th, when we leave for our 7 day cruise with friends! I'd like to be comfortable in a pair of shorts and tank top, and possibly a bathing suit. I'll post my progress as I go.

A hot topic in the news lately has been about medication interactions with older people.
Associated Press medical writer Lindsey Tanner wrote a story titled, "Millions of older Americans use risky drug combos," which encapsulated the problem well.
As people age, they often are prescribed more medications for compounding health problems. They also are more apt to take herbs and over-the-counter medications. The sum total of these products can end up being a toxic stew. Since older people often don't metabolize medications well, the buildup in the body can worsen this problem.
Doctors tell people to bring in their medications when they have an appointment. But often people don't think of OTC medications, herbs and vitamins. Also, medical people are not often trained in herbs and vitamins, so they can either miss a bad mix, or they will just say quit "taking all that stuff," which to me, an admitted vitamin advocate, seems like it can be damaging to one's health, as well.
I can't overstress the number of times I've suggested to people that they take all of the medications their elder ingests to one pharmacy and ask the pharmacist to put the medication names into the computer. The drug store's computer system should be able to pick up interactions. Ask questions. Pharmacists are trained in drugs. It's what they do. They are likely your greatest resource for drug safety information.
More than once as my young son, because of several hard to treat illnesses, was going through many medications with many doctors, I was the one who found drug interactions through reading my own copy of the Physician's Desk Reference. That was before the days of easy internet access to help you do your own research.
The above cited Associated Press article mentions a good site at www.consumermedsafety.org, which can help you do your own research. There are many other drug interaction sites online, as well. However checking with a pharmacist is a great backup to doing your own research.
So, even after the doctor visit you make with your elder and his medications, double check. Triple check.
Unless, of course, the doctor takes the elder off all medications, and starts from scratch. That approach has been known to be the answer to what was thought to be dementia. Watch those medications carefully. They are powerful tools for good. However, they can also do great harm, especially in the wrong combinations. We must be our own - and our elder's - advocate.

Economic Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy için diğer satın alabilecekleriniz:
This book develops a framework for analyzing the creation and consolidation of democracy. Different social groups prefer different political institutions because of the way they allocate political power and resources. Thus democracy is preferred by the majority of citizens, but opposed by elites. Dictatorship nevertheless is not stable when citizens can threaten social disorder and revolution. In response, when the costs of repression are sufficiently high and promises of concessions are not credible, elites may be forced to create democracy. By democratizing, elites credibly transfer political power to the citizens, ensuring social stability. Democracy consolidates when elites do not have strong incentives to overthrow it. These processes depend on the strength of civil society, the structure of political institutions, the nature of political and economic crises, the level of economic inequality, the structure of the economy, and the form and extent of globalization.

When I was in elementary school, sometimes I bought lunch. I seem to recall it was 45 cents. What a deal! It was a fun treat to me, something different and therefore special. One of my favorite dishes they served is something I think would look gross to me today. It was Turkey and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes. I remember it being an awful shade of brown. But unlike my own children, I don't recall being turned off by colors of foods.
I have continued enjoying gravy over mashed potatoes throughout the years, but I've never tried to make anything like Turkey and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes… until tonight.
Michele's New Improved Chicken and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes
Yes, it's so good there's more of the gravy than the potatoes! I started by caramelizing some onions (halved and sliced Vidalia). I removed the onions from the pan and set them aside, then put some cut up already cooked chicken in the same pan, and added some bacon drippings (maybe a little under a quarter cup) and about a cup of veggie broth (whatever was left in the box!) Then I sprinkled on top 2 big spoonfuls of potato flour and stirred briskly with a whisk. After the gravy was thickened and bubbly, I added some chopped spinach and the caramelized onions. I let it cook only a minute or two longer and then turned off the heat and just put the lid on to wait until Robert got home. But then the kids wanted to eat and I decided to go ahead and eat too. It'll be another hour before Robert gets home (I misremembered the time he said.) It was delicious, and when I added salt it was perfect! Yum!

Deep linking is a concept of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). It is a concept that is all about linking to internal pages of your website. You link internal pages of your site to other internal pages, and you get other sites to link to these internal pages too.
Unfortunately, many people fail to understand the more advanced tactics of deep linking – the approaches to use in order to reduce visitors bounce rates and at the same time improve your site engagement and conversion.
In an ideal world you should aim to attract three times as many visitors to internal pages of your site than you do to your home page. This is because if you are predominantly attracting visitors to your home page you are likely to increase the bounce rate of your site – that is, the number of visitors that leave before they get past the first page.
The reason for this is that it is extremely hard to optimize your home page for every single keyword you need, and as such you are not directing your visitors to the relevant content they were hoping to find straight away.
By undertaking a solid deep linking program you are actively enhancing your users experience of your website. By diverting a user to a deeper page on your site is likely to better relate to their original search that by sending them direct to your home page.
There are three key reasons to deep link:
- It raises the authority of the entire site.
- It increases your sites overall relevance.
- It increases your sites overall visibility.
There are a number of different approaches you can take as part of a structured deep linking strategy, including:
- Using email signatures to link to deeper and more relevant pages to the email recipients than simply your home page address.
- Look to write guest posts for other relevant blogs, but rather than simply linking to your home page as part of your bio, instead link to a deep page that is relevant to the article you have submitted as the guest post.
- Aim to comment on at least 5 related blog posts a day by other bloggers and when you are prompted to enter your web address make sure you enter a link for a deeper page relevant to the topic of conversation.
- Use forums to take part in discussions, and again, manually enter your URL and ensure you send people to pages relevant to the topic of the forum.
- Use social publishing websites such as Squido and link your content to internal pages of your site. Just remember, do not link to your home page!
- Social networking sites are great too, but that link they ask you for… don't settle for your homepage!
- Article syndication is a clever way of pushing traffic to deeper pages. When you write a byline for syndication make sure you choose a relevant link to a page that will enhance the users experience.
Is it right to deep link all the time?
Of course not. Sometimes there are pages that you don't want a user to land on first. It might be that your home page has a survey on it, and the deeper page is the results of the survey. You wouldn't want to give away the stats before they have completed the survey with an unbiased view.
You can stop search engines from indexing these pages by inserting the following code:
<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex">
Sending traffic to your home page is not a clever or even useful SEO strategy for most websites, excluding a handful of business models. As such your home page to internal link ratio should be at least 1 out of every 3, but ideally this should be higher. Deep linking strategy is the way to achieve this.
By ensuring that you undertake a well thought out deep linking campaign you can be sure that your actions will result in the raising of the authority, relevance and visibility of your website as a whole across most key search engines.
Deep linking however will also help to drive your visitors to highly relevant pages and as such reducing bounce rates and improving engagement and conversion.

10 months? 2 more months and he'll be a year!
Where did the time go?
He is so much fun and as always, the happy little guy that he's always been.
He's still pretty tiny. Still in 3-6 month clothing, but probably going to switch soon since they are starting to get a little small.
This month had a few new things. I guess the new milestones are starting to slow down for now, or I just haven't really noticed anything that new.
Kollin and I got married this last month, and Tanner was our cute little ring bearer/best man/silly face. He was so darn cute in his little kilt!
Chloe is actually starting to play with him more, and not just avoid him. It may be because he's more mobile or that he drops food for her?
It is so funny to see him crawling now. Depending on what type of surface he is on will depend on what crawl he does. On carpet it is usually the "normal" baby crawl. Then on hard wood or tile or something slippery, it is the gorilla or peg leg crawl. So fun to watch him switch between them and really get cruising around the house.
We also had our first Thanksgiving with him. He liked the mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and rolls!
Last month I could feel one of his fangs coming in. Now I can see it, and also see the tooth right next to it (eye tooth?) coming in! Still no top front teeth though. I can see them coming down though, just not surfacing yet. Silly kid.
He is also still very verbal. At least around us. When he is somewhere new or new people are around he is of course shy and very quiet. Once he gets warmed up though, he's a little chatter box. His favorite "words" are still "ba ba ba ba," and "mama." He is starting to say them all in different tones though. He is still doing the growl thing, is now whispering and is doing this funny little voice that I can't decide if I want to call it Donald Duck, a gremlin or a zombie. But you get the idea of what it sounds like.
We are having so much fun with you around and can't wait to spend these holidays with you for the first time! (although you won't know what's going on)
I love you more and more all the time.

A stellar event in regional theater took place Aug. 17 with the ribbon-cutting opening of the Paseo Nuevo shopping mall in downtown Santa Barbara.
The new Center Stage Theater, an intimate, 150-seat black box on the second level of Paseo Nuevo, had its own ribbons cut at 8 p.m. by Mayor Sheila Lodge. The glitzy opening night audience, which paid $100 per seat, was treated to the premiere performance of Anthony Edwards starring in "The Boys Next Door," an Access Theatre company production about the developmentally disabled.
There's an old superstition about the quality of the first performance in a new theater conferring a permanent blessing or curse. Those who believe in it can rest easy, because Edwards and a mostly Equity cast delivered a powerful, poignant performance that ended in a well-deserved standing ovation.
Is it possible to laugh at the developmentally disabled? Clive Barnes wrote of the 1987 off-Broadway production of Tom Griffin's "The Boys Next Door": "It's a funny play and it very adroitly provides its audience with the freedom to laugh."

Do whales have constitutional rights?
For the first time in US history, a California Federal Court is going to consider whether amusement park animals are protected by the same constitutional rights that outlaw slavery for humans.
A lawsuit has been filed by People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals arguing that the use of these performing animals in parks violates the 13th amendment of the United States Constitution.

"When you love something, you give it your all and do it to the best of your ability"
Sabrina Valentine Cruz answers our questions about their recent album, their tour with Evergrey and Need and the writings of H.P. Lovecraft among many more.
First of all, I'd like to congratulate you for "Decennium", your latest effort. It's a very interesting attempt to expand your musical horizons. So, how do you feel now about the album and all the hard work you've done for it and which are the first reactions you are receiving?
I think "Decennium" is being received very well, it's definitely the hardest album musically for all of us to date. We wanted to challenge ourselves to grow and I believe we have.
Since I am listening to your music for quite a long time, I found that in your new album there is a different approach in your music direction. The more thrash elements are almost gone and the Blind Guardian influences are stronger than ever before. So, I am wondering, did you aim for that result or it came as a natural progress of your songwriting skills?
We had many goals with the new album, the greatest was to do Power Metal the way it was intended to be and give fans something to be proud of. Blind Guardian is definitely an obvious inspiration, and rightfully so... They have inspired us all for many years in so many ways.
You're an American band but you have a more European sound, since you have more in common with bands like Blind Guardian, Helloween or Stratovarius. How do you explain that, since you are not the only U.S. band that playing in that 'European' way of power metal?
It's just the style of music that we love. When you love something, you give it your all and do it to the best of your ability. We do not go out of our way to clone the "European sound," it's just something that we get compared to, though to us it is a positive and wonderful comparison.
I was impressed by your performance in the new album. Your voice is better than ever and you clearly help the compositions to reach their potentials. Could you tell us a few words about your singing approach and your main influences as a singer? Maybe among them are Hansi Kursch and Sharon den Adel?
This album in particular was very challenging for me. It is definitely the hardest I have yet to accomplish. I've had to do a lot of music "voice" studding to attack some of the hardest parts. A major help to me on this part was also Jim Morris of Morrisound. I've been influenced by so many singers that exactly who you hear in my inflections is probably more that accurate. Floor Jansen was one of the biggest since there are parts that I personally believe that if she wasn't around to teach through her own music, I wouldn't know how to attack certain parts. Hansi of course, especially for "In the Walls." Jim Morris said to me "I believe this is definitely something Hansi would be proud of."
If I am not mistaken, with your new album you are celebrating your tenth anniversary as a band. Could you single the best and worst moments in this journey until now?
I'll start with the worst because there is only one thing that made this hard for me and it's what I refer to as the sandpaper phase. Sometimes when you're learning new territory and techniques it can be very challenging and uncomfortable. I encountered this when learning to sing the new material. But the best moments followed when suddenly I could achieve what was so hard at first. My favorite moments where the looks of complete astonishment of the guys faces when I reached some of my biggest hurdles. It's still a challenge no doubt, but each time I sing it.. I get a little better every time.
Also, this is your first album with Napalm Records, which is an important step forward I think. How did you decide to collaborate with them?
We were approached by Napalm when we were on tour with Stratovarius and Amaranthe a few years ago and since then we kept in contact. Once we decided to go solo and do things on our own first just to see if the "math" theory would work, we then continued the prospect of becoming a Napalm band. We did amazingly well by ourselves via the support of our fans and Kickstarter, but there are still things that only a well know record label can do for a band. We are very proud to be on the Napalm roster and look forward to seeing what may come of the relationship.
Your lyrics and, of course, the name of the band are mainly influenced by "A Song Of Ice And Fire" by George R. R. Martin. I have to say, though, it was the Lovecraftian touch of "In The Walls" that attract my attention the most. So, which is your favorite moment from the "Rats In The Wall" story of H.P. Lovecraft?
S: I'll let Kevin answer this because this is something that he loves very much.
K: My favorite moment from one of my favorite Lovecraft stories, Rats in the Walls, would have to be when the protagonist realizes what has been going on underneath his family's estate. He is basically driven insane and begins to speak in tongues. It's a very thrilling conclusion and kept me on my toes while reading. It also creeped me out quite a bit, which is always cool.
You have a stable lineup for years. So, I suppose this stability is helping you having the best results in recording and touring processes, since you are more like a bunch of friends that playing the music they love?
You said it perfectly. We are bandwagon hippy clan of friends that just love to play music and cook together. But most of all this is a family, these are my brothers and I couldn't be more proud than to have the honor of living my dreams it's them by my side.
You are hitting the road, along with Evergrey, Need and Ascendia. What are your expectations about this tour and what's your opinion about these bands? You know, Need is one of Greece's better acts…
I try not to have expectations, more like hopes. So far the tour is going well and all the guys are not only very talented but helpful. We are just a few days in and the team work is something to be admired. I'm looking forward to seeing all the bands grow each day and the lifelong friendships that will come from it.
Since we're talking about tours, do you have any interesting or funny story from your touring experiences?
I think the constant "funny" thing is that since I made the burger slippers/earrings a thing, it's almost the focal point of every conversation with fans after shows. Even funnier is the sadness people have over the loss of my slippers, they lived a long life and succumbed to over use and ware and tare lol.
Could you name me a few records that you're digging this period of time?
I'm currently rotating all the Avantasia albums, Angra's Sacred Garden, our album because I use it for constant practicing purposes... and Evergrey.
Sabrina, thank you very much for your answers and I wish the best for you and the band. I hope we'll have the chance to see you in Greece in the future. Close this interview as you want…
Thank you so much for the opportunity to have an interview with you and your readers, I appreciate your fanship and also hope to one day come to Greece. I hear the food is amazing and the views are nature's purest works of art.

Speech of Princess Grace of Monaco.
- I'm truly touched that you would all honor our tiny corner of the world with your presence. Goodness, we've had a spot of trouble lately. When I was acting in New York, my uncle, a wonderful playwright, told me that I should pray the same prayer every night. That should I ever make it, I would never be ungrateful. That should I ever be in a position of influence, I would have it in me to use it for good. Some of you ask, why did I leave Hollywood? Well, I left because I fell in love with a charming Prince. A man who has inspired me to see the world with enough compassion that I may want to do something about all of the unfair things I see in it. And that is why we are honoring the Red Cross. A force for good that is very close to my heart.
- One of my dearest friends once told me that when people dream of marrying royalty, they rarely comprehend what it actually means. It means having to choose, and I chose the House of Monaco. (It´s the House of Grimaldi)
- It may not seem a noble place, it may seem pompous and it may seem circumstantial. I may not speak its language, and it frustrates me at times.
- But it's my home and these are my people. And they're good people and they're trying to do what's right in their own small corner of the world, in the best way that they know how.
- And those of you who are married will know exactly what I mean. Maybe I'm naive but I believe in fairytales. I do, I believe that they can exist if we really want them to. If we're prepared to work hard enough.
- I believe that the world will not always be full of hatred and conflict, if we're willing to sacrifice enough. That is what Monaco means to me. And in a way, that's why I am Monaco. I have no army. I wish ill on no one. "I bear no resistance to aggression". I'm here doing what I do, trying to make a little difference in the world in the best way that I know how. But it wouldn't be real life, or it wouldn't be the fairytale, if there wasn't someone trying to destroy it, or crush it, simply because it doesn't please them, or simply because they can. I know that some of you think it's their right to do so. But I don't think anyone should have the right to crush happiness or beauty when they see it. That's not how I was raised. That's not the world I wish to be a part of.
- I would rather that the tanks roll through my lawn, I would rather that the bombs fall on my house, than know that I live in a world where love doesn't conquer all.
- Because, I believe in love. And I believe that it's love that has brought us here tonight. It's love that will make us put away our guns, and our politics, and our fears and our prejudices. And it's love that will eventually make everything right. And that is why tonight I'm going to celebrate it, and I'm going to be willing to defend it. And hope that you will all do the same in your own way, out there in your own lives. With thanks: http://www.beyondgracekelly.com/grace-monaco-red-cross-speech/
Grace and Rainier
You will find the remarkable life of Princess Grace of Monaco told by hundreds of peoples that happened to know true well: "The American Princess", but it's her own words that I am taken now, not the world, but Grace Kelly (RIP). https://youtu.be/1K_Q8OytB3k
I am trying to leave you with respect, The Princess of Monaco own words in a form of speech, as may influence, or dismiss her own persona, particulaly her good seeds, stunning beauty, wonderful heart and excellent manner direct to her own peoples of Monaco. https://youtu.be/44-0UGPyj5c
"As Grace Kelly's country of origin sees the movie Grace of Monaco for the first time this week, many people are wondering if the speech Nicole Kidman gave towards the end of the movie really took place" - http://tinyurl.com/nrshtzr
In my personal opinion, "Princess Grace of Monaco" gave loads of speeches in order to protect and benefit Monaco and no one can take that good seed away, no one!! - https://youtu.be/JC-xI80N5IM
I must to say, "Princess Grace of Monaco" is one of those women in life that reached the dream of become a true Princess and the next one was our very dear "English Rose", as HRH Princess Diana of Wales (RIP). https://youtu.be/w5gdU6-_NuM
What surprised me today, when compare both beauties of the world is the similarities and parallel lives: "HRH Princess Diana of Wales and Princess Grace of Monaco", in which, both comes with own "family problems" and perished in similar circumstances as those reasons mentioned before and with respect. https://youtu.be/_y0HNisfhvA
Perished in a time, when "HRH Princess Diana of Wales and Princess Grace of Monaco" own children very young and unable to understand "family problems" fully well, with maturity of today, as own life handled by "weak" husbands. https://youtu.be/A8gO0Z818j4
When we mention "weak husbands" mean everything and with respect to own children, that presently left to repair damaged of "family problems" when it was not them the "problem", but such "weaks" individuals that removed own mother's personal care, endless love, full attention, companion and everything!- https://youtu.be/hP1zEay7gDs
- As Princess Antoinette of Monaco, Baroness of Massy, hatched a plan to depose her brother Rainier III, Prince of Monaco and declare herself regent on the basis of having a son - She was removed from Palace by her sister-in-law, Princess Grace (RIP) and estranged from Princely family. (see life account, following link) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Antoinette,_Baroness_of_Massy
- As Prince Philip fears: "I will die soon (and I want to see Camilla out of here before I draw my last breath http://tinyurl.com/ncnbngt )" of same "family feuds" over the years, when legaly we must never attempt against own peoples, family, blood, relations, traditions ( http://tinyurl.com/o2are3p ), no matter reason, or set of reasons, at any time, never - never. http://tinyurl.com/pwy8o7t
- The same words spelled to me by ex/husband father ( http://tinyurl.com/pa33gxo ) months before passed away and same day when I went to hospital to remove a cyst, exactly the same cyst that was left to me after my termination (abortion) in the UK and when I tried to remove cyst in Mexico before the weeding (1985), in whch my sister (ana pia) witness me in terrible and horrible state, by the same abuse that killed my own peoples! - http://tinyurl.com/ofx7nwy
- The same abuse that my sister (tere) saw and witness my own killed, to arrive to another sister (flor http://tinyurl.com/q4n9w29 ) house to cover the crime, with no mercy, pity, nothing! -
In my form of view matters, everything planned by the same family (mine and the ex/husband) links, that joined together (1985-2015) in the malice (5 boys, the river, etc), today such links are removing witness ( http://tinyurl.com/plzpy8f ), in order to hide, control and continue.
Where the words of Princess Grace of Monaco (RP) during war times, apply here with me today, with such peoples that call themselves family and terminate (abortion) my own, as she said in her public speech (http://tinyurl.com/nrshtzr): "I bear no resistance to aggression", because "I have no army" to deffend my own, not even today (me) and "I'm here doing what I do, trying to make a little difference in the world in the best way that I know how", in order to highly (me) criminal abuse within "family problems (ex/husband and I)" and for "public concerrn", as such bullies left me today totally destroyed (http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr), exactly in the same way as 6 million Jews victims of WWII (http://tinyurl.com/nwfa8tk), plus the rest (europe = 70 million in total). http://tinyurl.com/p2vkjjl
And all for what, the clinic (abortion) booked by the same ex/husband in the UK, as I was unable to speak the english language, his reasons for me to have termination (abortion) was to give way to carol parker, ex/husband sister to go to Mexico before the wedding, marry, educate and have a life and all mine killed as form of cannibalism. http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr As carol parker worked in puebla, mexico "before/after the weeding (1985)", as english teacher in same place where I was studying english language and studying spanish at "colegio rosario"- http://tinyurl.com/nhrvkyz When I was helping ex-husband sister, carol parker, social worker in my country Mexico, for her to develop, not to steal all mine with a wave of defamation, slander, lies. http://tinyurl.com/ndpyqmx In the last 30 years in the UK, I was unable to have anything from this country, because as her mother said to me when requested financial help, "not to tell carol" and I believe now with the documents that I hold (with respect to The Queen. http://tinyurl.com/oxfyppg ), as she will remove, destroy and steal everything from me, even today after divorce? - http://tinyurl.com/p2vkjjl
I believe strong that if such lies from ex/husband sister, social worker (5 boys, the river, etc) against me and mine, together with complete cannibalism of followers (the kiss, the china girl, etc) as explained before, in order to eliminate all mine with ill spread, revenge ( http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr ), hate propaganda and intolerance, then perhaps, we will never be in this position, with endless lives removed with "form of purpose" and due to "family problems" that caused abuse, murder, assault and criminology, but falsely accused and blame "after" own matters, vendettas, cosa nostra and criminal activity. http://tinyurl.com/nvho5lg
My note is not to reflect the reasons why Princess Grace of Monaco died (RIP) and her young child survived, also unaware of child's age when happened and purpose to request mother to drive when chauffeur was available, neither I will do criminology at this stage, unless request by the same Royal Family in Monaco, but in order for me to explain the world of my circumstances, in which, "I bear no resistance to aggression", exactly in the same way as the rest human mortals, when bullied, by the cowards bullies and own bullshit (5 boys, the river, etc)! - http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr
We hope Prince Philip (http://tinyurl.com/p6jv3f6) become soon, The King of the United Kingdom, together with his beautiful wife, The Queen Elizabeth II, very much the same as, The Queen Mother and King George VI, because both together contributed since after marriage, with excellent example to the world. http://tinyurl.com/o9totd6 As this stage, we need to think in the future of the UK Royal Family. http://tinyurl.com/nm83oyo
I protect me and mine (children) legally (http://tinyurl.com/pz55fy4), as to write the true of matter that happened to me in the past, even Monaco and UK Royal Family with respect. When such matters was not done by me at any time, but highly such crimes within family environment, that leaves us totaly alone, indefence, sad, terrible exposed (http://tinyurl.com/o2are3p), badly hurt and destroyed, Rosario Castellanos de Parker.

"Hezbullah" have kin worldwide; In America too. They scheme to crush Israel. Will those apathetic or hateful to Jewish fate remain safe? No! As it says, "I will rise to anger against apathetic nations" (Zach. 1, 15); And as it says, "Those who curse you, I will curse" (Num. 24, 9). Evil perpetrated on God's representative nation draws retribution. Let evil befall Israel and -- the next thing you know, Hezbos will show up -- in your own backyard!

Jerusalem or Damascus - The Rebbe's View
With Syria now embroiled in rebellion and likely to become a flashpoint for broader, regional flare-up, the Rebbe's perspective on this landscape deserves attention because, according to him, Jerusalem and Damascus pivot on the same fulcrum; Only one can rise while the other must fall! What was true in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War may well hold currently as well.

You and your complicated mouth
drinking whiskey and shooting up the room.
We've become something and nothing at the same time
absorbed in thought between moments of mutual distractions.
A reenactment
a pause
an accidental backtrack
on the sidewalk concrete growing beneath our feet
a lie in the pulpit.
Your hug
an uncomfortable chair seeking
shapes me awkwardly
I have drowned in your shallow.
A well timed spit
after a blow-job gone
premature ejaculation
you want all the space in the room
I comply
show you my retreating back
my slow migration to somewhere else
but I think I love you with this ticker-tape heart
all float and no real direction.
So many things fall from the sky
never to be found again: swallowed whole.
Tragedy never comes in the form we predict
sometimes they take the form of dropped calls
falling from some other time
like nightmares wanting operator assistance
for their return.

Some attempts at drawing fast! I'm not in love with any of these really, but they are forcing me to learn, so that's pretty cool!
I didn't keep track of how long this one took, I think it might have been around two or three hours?
This one took an hour.
This one also took about an hour, I however didn't finish it in that time, and I wont be going back to it since it's not very interesting.
Anyway, sorry for the update full of not very good and kind of boring paintings!!
