Why choose a LED collar?
Fur Bebe's Premium Dual Line LED Collars were designed specifically with SAFETY in mind. Collision with cars is unfortunately one of the most common causes of injury among dogs. If you can reduce the risk of this happening simply by ensuring your dog is seen and visible, why wouldn't you choose a LED collar? Furthermore, you will never lose sight of your pet again. Whether they are roaming around in the backyard, frolicking in the dog park, exploring in the woods, sharing a path with cyclists and pedestrians, crossing the street at night--there are hundreds of scenarios where your pet will benefit from the visibility of our LED collars. During the day your pup will look even more amazing with a beautiful pop of color with two varsity stripes. Function AND fashion, how can you go wrong?
Is the collar weather resistant?
Absolutely! We used quality materials to craft our collars so that they can be enjoyed all year long. Sunshine, wind, rain, snow and even splashing about in a puddle can't stop your pup from conquering the world in style while staying safe. We also now offer the same amazing collars but WATERPROOF*! With an IPX7 rating, these collars can be submerged in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Perfect for all the water loving pups everywhere! *Harnesses are also waterproof
What is the recharge cycle and the battery life?
Our collars use a rechargeable smart battery via included mini-USB cable. Charge anytime where there is a computer, laptop, USB transformer, power bank, etc. available. It takes approximately 30-90 minutes for a full charge, depending on the battery level. A fully charged battery will last up to 7-10 hours on continuous glow mode, and will only need to be re-charged once or twice a month depending on usage.
I see cheaper products available. What's the difference?
We aren't competing with the inexpensive collars in the marketplace. Remember, this is a safety product so quality over price point when choosing a LED collar. We did extensive research and gathered pet parent feedback before we designed our collars. Our premium LED lights can be seen at a distance of up to 1000 ft. We're one of the new kids on the block so you can breathe easy knowing that we are using the latest and best technology. We offer a rechargeable battery pack with charging port cover, best LED light technology available resulting in brighter illumination, alloy D-ring, hardy snap buckle, sturdy nylon webbing that's flexible, comfortable and easy to adjust.
What's the product warranty?
If for any reason you are not pleased with your purchase, you have 30 days to receive a full refund from Amazon. We offer a one year replacement guarantee against manufacture defects. Just send us a message!
What other products do you offer?
We have some other amazing items coming soon! We take our time before we launch a product because we only want to bring you the best. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for us, please send us a message -- we'd LOVE to hear from you.

Gandhinagar: While Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar said Bharatiya Janata Party's PM candidate Narendra Modi is only capable of becoming a tea stall vendor, the BJP has decided to cash in on the comment and launch a poll campaign through tea stalls across the country.
According to reports, on Feb 1, Modi will interact live with people at 1,000 tea shops across 300 parliamentary constituencies using internet and DTH technology.
He will also address five to eight 'nukkad' (street corner) meetings called 'Chai Pe Charcha with NaMo'.
Aiyar's comment has triggered sharp attack from the BJP and even from Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
"This remark shows the feudal mindset of the Congress. We are a democratic party. Even a tea vendor can become PM and a farmer can become the BJP's president," BJP President Rajnath Singh said on Saturday while addressing the party's national executive in New Delhi.
"But in Congress, only a particular family has the right to become the PM or that family decides who will become PM," he said.
Aiyar on Friday itself had clarified his remark and said he was misquoted by the media.
"It is Modi who keeps bringing to the fore his background of being a tea stall owner while making a pitch to the people of India for the elections. Therefore, I just said that Modi will never be the Prime Minister of India, but if he wants, we can set up a tea stall for him here," Aiyar told CNN-IBN.
Earlier, addressing the All India Congress Committee (AICC) meeting here, Aiyar said: "Narendra Modi can never be the Prime Minister of India. However, if he wants, we can set up a tea stall for him here."
Reacting to his statement, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, "Modi has a lot of negatives but his humble origins are a positive some of us can't claim. We aren't helping our campaign by mocking him."
Earlier in November last year, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Naresh Agarwal attacked Modi and said a "tea stall vendor" cannot become the prime minister of the country.
"One who used to sell tea cannot have a national perspective. Modi wants to become the PM of the country but a tea vendor's point of view can never be that of a national stature," Agarwal said while addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi district.
"Like if you make a 'sipahi' (constable) as 'kaptan' (Superintendent of Police) then he can never change his perception. His perception will remain like a constable," he said.
The Gujarat Chief Minister has often referred to his humble background while addressing rallies in the country.
"I have sold tea at the railway station and in running trains," Modi had said in a rally earlier.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch is a killer title and an absolute must-have for people who like to have fun — either alone or with their friends.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is not completely new to us because we've already played the title on Wii U, sans the new battle mode of course. Still, the game is worth the full retail price Nintendo decided to launch it at — the new battle mode is a lot of fun.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: What is new and what isn't?
Way before Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch, when it was still known as project NX, Emily Rogers posted on her blog some new features Mario Kart 8 might have, one of which was the revamped battle mode.
The rumour was received with mixed receptions. People didn't think that Wii U owners would buy it one more time — but they did. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch supposedly sold over one million copies worldwide in three days after launch, according to Daniel Ahmad, an Analyst at Niko Partners.
But what made people buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch?
Let's see what is new:
- 1080p graphics at 60 fps in docked mode
- all characters from the Wii U version including DLC are unlocked from the beginning
- you can play all DLC tracks found in the Wii U version
- revamped battle mode with Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast
- exclusive battle maps:
- Urchin Underpass
- Battle Stadium
- exclusive characters:
- Inkling Girl & Boy
- King Boo
- Dry Bones
- Bowser Jr.
- Smart Steering feature for novice players and children
- three new vehicles that are inspired by Splatoon
- you're now able to carry two items at a time
- new items like Boo and Feather
Besides those ten new features, there are, of course, ways you can experience Mario Kart 8 that are tied to the console itself: Play with up to seven players in local wireless multiplayer or share the screen of the Nintendo Switch with up to three friends.
The best thing is: You can enjoy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch with a friend without having to buy any controllers. Just give your partner a Joy-con and battle it out on the tracks.
Skipping singleplayer and diving right into online madness
Having unlocked everything in Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, we didn't feel the need to do it all over again in the definitive version. So we skipped right ahead and dove into the online mode, where we felt right at home.
Racing is pretty much the same. Thankfully, all tracks and characters are unlocked. The only things missing are some cars and parts (tyres, gliders) — but we might hunt those down eventually.
Alina has played only a little bit of Mario Kart on Wii U because it was too hard for her. Thanks to the new steering assist feature, she can now finish any race.
We were most curious about the nature of the new and revamped battle mode, which had been a huge let down on Wii U and ultimately led to the fact that we stopped playing Mario Kart 8 a few weeks after launch.
Battling it out with friends and strangers is the biggest reason why people play Mario Kart. Nintendo probably realised that they have annoyed the loyal fanbase and decided to revamp the mode — and boy, did they do it right.
These are the battle modes you can choose from:
Balloon Battle
This classic mode should be known by anyone who has played Mario Kart before. Pop your opponents' balloons with one of the various items, for example, the green shells; you can also steel balloons with some items. A new addition to this mode is the points system: You now don't fall out of a battle after getting all your balloons popped but instead loose points and respawn.
Bob-omb Blast
A mode that returns from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! brings Bob-ombs into the match. Carry up to ten bombs and pop the balloons of your opponents. The rules are basically the same as in the mode before.
Coin Runners
Originally a mode in Mario Kart Wii, Coin Runners makes it's way onto the newest instalment. Collect coins scattered through-out the map; attack your opponents to make them drop their coins.
Shine Thief
This mode is also from Double Dash!!: Retrieve the Shine Sprite and hold it for 20 seconds. Opponents can use items to make you drop the shiny star — but you can also defend yourself. Your only disadvantage is the reduced driving speed.
Renegade Roundup
The most interesting one is Renegade Roundup because you can have one of two roles:
- Either be one of The Renegades and try to escape or
- be part of The Authorities and try to capture The Renegades with Potted Piranha Plants.
We had some displeasure with this mode on Luigi's Mansion. It seems way to small and narrow for this mode to be enjoyable.
How to have a smooth online experience
One of the biggest reasons why we decided to buy Mario Kart 8 again was the online multiplayer mode. Of course, the new battle mode was the biggest factor because otherwise, we would have skipped Mario Kart 8 Deluxe all together.
Sadly, we are one of many people who experience some issues with the online mode. Random disconnects during a race, in the lobby or searching for a race are not uncommon.
So, what can you do?
First of all: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch uses peer to peer connections. So the contributing factor is your internet connection. Playing on the go means that you have to use the built-in Wi-Fi connection.
Make sure that your NAT Type is at least a B, even better, an A. But NAT Type A is only attainable if you assign an IP for your Nintendo Switch, forward all the ports Nintendo recommend or put the console in DMZ — nothing of that will be possible when you sit in a cafe and don't have access to the router. In that case, make sure to sit as close to the router as possible. If you can't see it, ask a waitress/waiter where it's located and pick the closest table.
If you've rented a place through Airbnb and have access to the router, then you should try and put your Nintendo Switch in DMZ. What this means is that it accepts all incoming and outgoing traffic; therefore, connection problems shouldn't happen.
Another thing you can do is to wire your Nintendo Switch via a LAN adapter to a router and eliminate the risk of wireless interference. If you don't have the dock with you, get a LAN Adapter for your Nintendo Switch and also a USB-A to USB-C Adapter; or just buy a USB-C LAN Adapter.
Another option is playing through a tethered connection from your mobile phone. This one, however, is tricky: Some mobile providers do not assign a public IP address for their clients, therefore, you will get a Nat Type D and cannot play online. Ask your mobile provider if you can get a public IP (by paying for it) or if they plan to implement IPv6 soon.
If you experience many connection issues or even lag, try to play with people from your region. The pings are low and lags should be kept at a minimum. Still, in our experience, connection errors still happen from time to time. At the point of this review, Nintendo has not addressed these issues with a patch.
Final words about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch
If you've already played Mario Kart 8 on Wii U or are completely new to the experience, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch has something to offer for everyone.
The revamped battle mode will give veterans enjoyment they haven't felt before; novice players will be able to experience this fabulous racing game in all its glory, starting with the singleplayer campaign and making their way through 50cc, 100cc, 150cc and 200cc, before they tip their toes in the online multiplayer madness Mario Kart is known for.

Why Project Based Learning?
Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question, problem, or challenge. Today's students, more than ever, often find school to be boring and meaningless. In PBL, students are active, not passive; a project engages their hearts and minds, and provides real-world relevance for learning.
After completing a project, students remember what they learn and retain it longer than is often the case with traditional instruction. Because of this, students who gain content knowledge with PBL are better able to apply what they know and can do to new situations.
In the 21st century workplace, success requires more than basic knowledge and skills. In PBL, students not only understand content more deeply but also learn how to take responsibility and build confidence, solve problems, work collaboratively, communicate ideas, and be creative innovators.
Project‐based learning has 'shown to be more effective than traditional methods for teaching maths, economics, language, science, and other disciplines' (Beckett & Miller, 2006). Other research also states that project‐based learning enables students to 'demonstrate better problem‐solving skills' (Finkelstein et al., 2010) and that 'students also show improved critical thinking' skills (Beckett & Miller, 2006; Tretten & Zachariou, 1995).
We have been working with the Innovations Unit to develop our PBL pedagogy and are currently part of a research project undertaken by Durham University to investigate the impact of PBL. We are a lead school and been visited by education specialists from China, USA, South Korea, Brazil and Australia.
We call our projects REAL, which stands for Rigorous, Engaging, Authentic Learning.
It is essential that every project has a real outcome and a real audience. When students know that the work they are creating in a project will be displayed publicly, this changes the nature of the project from the moment they start working-- because they know they will need to literally 'stand by' their work, under scrutiny and questioning from family, friends, and total strangers.
This inspires a level of ambition and commitment much greater than is fuelled by the incentive of 'getting good marks.' In addition, students' families, as well as other people from the local community, get to see what is going on in the school, providing an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the school and community.
So please, get involved in our projects in any way you can, either as an audience member or to share the skills and expertise you have.
Essential Elements of PBL include:
- Significant Content - At its core, the project is focused on teaching students important knowledge and skills, derived from standards and key concepts at the heart of academic subjects.
- 21st century competencies - Students build competencies valuable for today's world, such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity/innovation, which are explicitly taught and assessed.
- In-Depth Inquiry - Students are engaged in an extended, rigorous process of asking questions, using resources, and developing answers.
- Driving Question - Project work is focused by an open-ended question that students understand and find intriguing, which captures their task or frames their exploration.
- Need to Know - Students see the need to gain knowledge, understand concepts, and apply skills in order to answer the Driving Question and create project products, beginning with an Entry Event that generates interest and curiosity.
- Voice and Choice - Students are allowed to make some choices about the products to be created, how they work, and how they use their time, guided by the teacher and depending on age level and PBL experience.
- Critique and Revision - The project includes processes for students to give and receive feedback on the quality of their work, leading them to make revisions or conduct further inquiry.
- Public Audience - Students present their work to other people, beyond their classmates and teacher.

SPCA Tampa Bay has cared for Pinellas County's homeless pets for more than 75 years. In addition to pet adoptions, the organization offers programs to help animals already in loving homes, like free pet behavior help, Sniff University training for dogs and cats, and a full-service Veterinary Center that provides high-quality veterinary care for any cat or dog owner in the community.
B2 has worked with SPCA Tampa Bay to increase awareness of the organization's important work among potential adopters, pet owners who can use its services, potential sponsors, donors and partners in the community.
B2 helped identify essential messages about SPCA Tampa Bay's mission to improve the community by promoting humane care, preventing animal cruelty and reducing pet overpopulation. B2's strategy has focused on telling the stories of those animals and people who have benefited from the organization's work, as well as those who have supported SPCA Tampa Bay's mission.
For example, B2 pitched a story about the organization's annual fundraiser PetWalk to ABC Action News. An SPCA Tampa Bay staff member and volunteer appeared on the program to talk about how the money raised through PetWalk helps animals in the community. B2 worked with the interviewees ahead of time to identify key messages about PetWalk, and provide helpful tips for TV interviews to help them communicate effectively about how and why people should get involved.
B2 has also helped SPCA Tampa Bay share its knowledge of animal welfare and pet health by securing media placements that show the organization as a community resource and industry expert. For example, Fox 13 produced a story on a proposed ordinance in St. Petersburg that would require pet stores to sell cats and dogs that come from rescue organizations, and interviewed SPCA Tampa Bay CEO Martha Boden about the positive impact the ordinance could have on homeless animals in the area.
B2 has also worked with SPCA Tampa Bay staff on guest columns to help educate the public on important pet-related topics, such as how to care for your pets in the event of a hurricane, or how to keep pets safe during the holidays. The guest columns reflect SPCA Tampa Bay's commitment to seeing fewer pets surrendered by offering owners practical pet care tips and support.
In helping to craft succinct, powerful messages to share SPCA Tampa Bay's mission and programs with the community, B2 has helped SPCA show why finding forever homes for the animals in their care is important, and how organizations like SPCA Tampa Bay contribute positively to the quality of life in Tampa Bay.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a great day and weekend and are excited for this first installment of my DIY series. I hope you will find some interesting things here and try to create them on your own. The first thing I want to tell you all about is my oldest DIY project, my nail polish organizer which is quick, really easy, and super inexpensive. Read on and enjoy!
|Up against the wall, the two nail polish racks.
The reason why I made my own is because I was tired of searching for something online and in stores that would hold all of the nail polishes that I have (and that is a ton). I am not joking, as you can tell in the photo it really was not easy to try and find something that would work for me. Another reason for wanting to create my own nail polish holder is that everything I was seeing in stores and online didn't have a set-up that would display them so that I could see them. The reason why I wanted to be able to see them is because I have so many and love them all. I wanted to make sure that I could see them all, at all times. Maybe I am way too obsessed, I just call it in love.
|My first nail polish rack.
The first thing you are going to need is a 2ftx2ft flat piece of wood, this will make the back (and base) for the entire nail polish rack/holder. You can definitely get a smaller size if you think you don't need this much room/space, or you can get a bigger one! After you get the back of the holder, you are going to need smaller pieces of wood to make the shelves. I picked up as 1inx3in that was about 6ft. By doing this, you can have the people at Home Depot cut it into 2ft sections to use as the shelves. You can find these at your Home Depot and can get someone to help you if you need it. Sorry for this sidebar but I just wanted you all to know if you have never been in a Home Depot alone as a girl, you're in for a really interesting experience. Every single time I go in here, 5,000 people ask me if I need help.
As far as building materials, the only other things you are going to need are small nails, a hammer, a pencil to draw on your measuring marks, and a ruler/measuring tape.
|Showing you how to read the measurements.
Once you have everything that you are going to need it's time to start measuring things out. My tip to you for doing this is to get one of each different kind of nail polish that you own. When you are laying them down on the back piece of wood you want to make sure that the shelves are spaced out enough so that you can easily take on and off the nail polishes from the shelves. Once you figure out where you want the shelves to be, mark this with the pencil. Another tip is that you should always make sure that you space out all of your shelves, measure them, pencil them in, and then you can put them in place by nailing them to the backboard. My father always said, "Measure twice, cut once..."
|The second nail polish rack.
Basically, you are done! All you need to do now is set your nail polishes on the shelves. One of the only things that I would do different is add sides to this. Right now I have my nail polishes displayed on the shelves without sides and it is perfectly fine, but adding them would just ensure that they are locked in a little bit better. If you are going to do this, make sure you measure to add them in before you do the shelves that hold the polish.
If you need help cutting the wood, they should be able to do it for you at your Home Depot, that's what I ended up doing. Big props to my dad for helping me out and putting it together. With my design and my dads assistance a wonderful nail polish rack was made! I told you this was super simple, I absolutely love it. The best thing about this is that you can either attach another one to it on the side, or make another one. As you can see, I made another one and they are both permanent fixtures to my room. Another thing about these nail displays is that they look great and quite modern in your room. The design with wood adds a little "homey-ness," it's really interesting and something new.
|Leaning against the wall.
Another great thing about the design is that the shelves are a little bit bigger than the nail polish, I designed them this way. The reason for this is that I figured there would be space for nail files and in some cases, a second row of nail polish that is not as big as other polishes. The fact that you are able to see all of your polishes when trying to make a decision of which you'll use is great functionality. As you can see, my polish rack is sitting on my desk, out of the way. In another photo, you can also see that they lean against the wall or can be pushed up against the wall. I love how elegant and modern-ish, you can put them anywhere. Very cool!
If you guys try this, please tweet me a picture and show me. I would love to see everyone recreate this DIY. I also hope that you guys enjoyed the first installment of my mini DIY series. Tune in tomorrow for the next post dealing with organization. Thank you for reading.

Tonight's Evening Brief is brought to you by Equal Voice's Daughter's of the Vote National Initiative. Applications are open until JUNE 30th.
The Lead:
We begin tonight with a victory for both incrementalism and sober second thought. The Senate has passed Bill C-14, the Trudeau government's assisted dying legislation, by a vote of 44 to 28 — averting an unseemly bicameral showdown over who can seek a doctor's help to end their life. Parliament's elected and appointed houses had been at odds over the phrase in the government's bill that restricts eligibility for a medically assisted death to those whose natural death is "reasonably foreseeable." That phrase has remained in the Senate-approved version, which will now move on to royal assent and become the law of the land. Our Kyle Duggan has the full story.
iPolitics columnist L. Ian MacDonald says this is how Parliament is supposed to work. Here's his take: "The Commons, the Senate and C-14: It was never about gridlock."
In Canada:
Our Richard Raycraft has today's QP round-up: "Genocidal ISIS, electoral reform and back to incriminating juice."
The House of Commons rose for summer recess today, marking the end of the first eight-month sitting of the new Liberal government, a period that saw the fin-de-regime tetchiness of the last Parliament replaced by the exuberance of dozens of new members. Our Janice Dickson has that piece.
The complete membership of the special parliamentary committee on electoral reform was revealed today, allowing it to begin its work as early as Monday. The 12-member committee is composed of five Liberal MPs, three Conservative MPs, two NDP MPs, one Bloc MP, and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May. The three Conservatives include former Harper cabinet minister and possible leadership contender Jason Kenney. Our BJ Siekierski has the details.
It seems that, leadership-wise, Kenney is keeping his options open. The Calgary Herald's James Wood interviewed Kenney yesterday and the Alberta MP says he hasn't ruled out a run for the province's Conservative leadership as the man who'll unite the right.
Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith is so far the least predictable MP in what has been a slightly unpredictable Parliament. CBC's Aaron Wherry looks at the renegade MP for Beaches.
The Trudeau government is sending $300 million in federal disaster funding to the Alberta government to help offset the cost of the devastation caused by Fort McMurray wildfire. Our Kelsey Johnson has all the details.
Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose has joined the parade of celebrity chefs with a Netflix-ready video of she and her partner, JP, making a kitchen-sink fruit smoothie. Our Janice Dickson does the honours.
In James Munson's Drilldown blog: Liberals won't please everyone on pipelines, Trudeau says, plus all your other resource politics news.
In Kelsey Johnson's Sprout blog: Port of Churchill ownership still uncertain, plus all the other ag news you need to know.
In West Yorkshire, Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn stood side by side today in the riding of Jo Cox to condemn the killing of the 41-year-old Labour MP and mother of two yesterday as an "attack on democracy."
"If we truly want to honour Jo," Cameron said, "then what we should do is recognize that her values — service, community, tolerance — the values she lived by and worked by, those are the values that we need to redouble in our national life in the months and years to come." Parliament has been recalled for Monday in the wake of Ms. Cox's assassination by a 52-year-old man who shot and stabbed her in the street following a constituency meeting. There are reports today that her murderer was a white supremacist who purchased neo-Nazi content from a U.S.-based radical group.
In the U.S. presidential drama, Bernie Sanders last night pledged to help Hillary Clinton fight sideshow Republican candidate Donald Trump but declined to actually endorse the presumptive Democratic nominee. "The major political task that we face in the next five months is to make certain that Donald Trump is defeated and defeated badly," Sanders told supporters in a live-stream video. "And I personally intend to begin my role in that process in a very short period of time." Here's The Guardian's lead feature today, "Bernie Sanders: The upstart who pointed the way toward a political revolution."
In an unprecedented ruling, Russia's track and field team has been barred from competing in this summer's Rio Games seven months after the exposure of a far-reaching government-run doping conspiracy. "The global governing body for track and field, known as the I.A.A.F., announced the decision on Friday, ruling that Russia had not done enough to restore global confidence in the integrity of its athletes," reports The New York Times.
In Other Headlines:
- Funerals for Orlando victims begin as city grieves (The Guardian)
- Republican senators working on gun control compromise (Reuters)
- Iraqi forces retake Falluja city hall (BBC)
- China rules against Apple in patent case (BBC)
Started calling the mute button on your remote the "Trump button" yet? It could be worse — you could be a horrified rational Republican. The Washington Post's Michael Gerson has, "The GOP is Learning the Hard Way that Character Matters." And here's horrified rational Republican Joe Scarborough on the eponymous Morning Joe this morning, making a heartfelt plea for the party of Lincoln to come to its senses.
The Kicker:
Finally tonight … Amazing Grace. Today marks one year since the massacre of nine black parishioners gathered for a prayer meeting at the Emanuel A.M.E. church in Charleston, S.C. by a white radical. We close tonight, after a week when armed hatred took up far too much of this space, with the President of the United States in Charleston last year.
Good night and have a lovely weekend.

Lesser#3 Meditation No. 3
(T.C. Chew, US, 2011) - 5'17''
[from his vimeo]
"this is another page in my research journal for project title: Lesser#3.
it does not contain conventional artistic and commercial distribution value.
it is produced merely for the expression & eventual annihilation of the self.
please forgive our trespassing of the worldly dogmas & possessions which, with all respect, some of us hold onto so dearly.
the montage engineers wish to thank all the brothers & sisters of humanity who have contributed directly and/or indirectly to the evolution of the images and sounds in this video.
borrowing the ideas from 1000 plateaus (Deleuze & Guattari), we like to say that in lesser#3 meditations, there is no beginning and ending, just becoming...
omg, i'm sounding so seriously already. where's the joker when u need one? my thoughts are flowing again, meditation number four coming soon. hehe.."
