Yesterday I released v2.16 as beta, but today I decided I'm updating it to stable-ish. Everyone can download and flash it from my own server, but for now on Play it's only being rolled out to the people who already received v2.14 in the past week. It is a staged rollout, so not everyone is getting it through Play yet.
Though the v2.14 beta had been tested by quite a few users, rollout did unfortunately hit a few issues for some users. v2.16 fixes a few of those, and so far feedback has been good. If it remains so, I'll update to a full rollout in a few days.
Aside from fixes for those crashes and binary update failures, some edge case app name displays have been fixed (where you'd see process names before, now the correct app name is displayed, possibly with [UID] suffixed), and these apps are no longer automatically scrubbed from the list at boot if re-authentication is enabled.
Additionally I've also started with polishing the app up a bit if the material theme is selected. This is for L only, and will not be backported to 4.x. It's far from finished and I've only tested it on Nexus 7 (not 5), but it's a start. If you're running SuperSU on L and have never manually changed the theme, you'll see this theme by default. If not, select Material: light, dark actionbar in Settings->Theme.

Interesting note for devs
One of the more severe issues was caused by a call to su with STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR all closed or 0. This actually causes a SIGSEGV in the runtime before any of my own code runs, but only if the su binary is NDK built, and then only on a handful of firmwares (across OEMs), with both older and newer firmwares for those same devices working fine. I found that both odd and interesting.
Fix sugote crash (NDK builds only) (cause for endless loading on apps/logs tab)
Fix binary detection if switched from enforcing to permissive after boot
Fix supolicy requirement < 19, not used there (yet)
Fix UID based grants being forgotten on reboot
Fix display names of some edge cases (excluding in logs), and prevent these from being forgotten on reboot
Various theme options added
Added some basic material theming for L (no backport to 4.x), now default
Automatic restart app if theme changed
Automatically restart app if language is changed
Fixed multilanguage support on L
Thanks let me know the name
Excuse me ... but after rooting of the phone I cant apply new android ... can you help me ?
Already installed and no issues so far. Thanks!
Aww, I don't have L yet.

+SeFo Yee check XDA for instructions on how to return to stock. And word of advice, learn how to return your device back to stock before modifying your software. Can save you a lot of trouble.
Thanks for the heads up
Does this root Lollipop Nexus 4 (port from Nexus 6 dump)?
+Kleverson Royther rooting is a different thing su only administration of root you will need to look on xda for a how to on that
Thumb up
That stdio issue is extremely interesting, does it die inside a Bionic stdio function or upstack inside Zygote? (you piqued my bug hunter curiosity, that's not fair ;) )
I have L and the update to 2.16 went smoothly, so thanks :-)
+Chainfire nice work on the new themes!
(and all the rest too :P )
Thanks as always Chainy !
+Matteo Panella honestly I don't know. I was happy enough when I isolated the issue, didn't spend much time to investigate it. Whatever it is, it is fixed in the latest firmwares already.
Glad to have u always supersu...thanks
+Chainfire: thanks for the reply and sorry for bothering you, I get kinda itchy when I read about segfaults in system libraries/services :-)
So whats new?
OK, might try on M7 with ARHD41 again then. (I got a bootloop before, though things are a bit complicated on this device as it's S-ON :-( )
Thanks so much for all your hard work and contributions, you sir are the man!

Please Can You Root This Phone
(SM-G350E) (SM Galaxy Star 2 Plus)
Android V.4.4.2
Why does my samsung galaxy s4 reset after what root?
When can we expect your expertise to get a working root for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 n910a??? Or is this too much of a task for you to accomplish? How hard can it be for you to complete something as simple as rooting this phone. If there are apps already with "root" privileges on the phone, why not assume they can assist you in getting the same access for su?
I got unroot first then instalked it again..
NO google play, China locked!
Only paypal.
Flashed with TWRP, now in Google Play it says I have 2.01, update date 25/10/2014. But I'm on 2.16. I've installed 2.16 .apk, but still the same.
I'm try to use SuperSU v2.16 with RootTools 3.5 (with context switching) and get this on any call (f.e. with system_app context):

All Collier voters, regardless of party affiliation or residence, can vote in this election, because only Republicans qualified to run, making what would otherwise have been a closed election open.
I wrote extensively about the two candidates for Clerk – incumbent Dwight Brock and challenger Georgia Hiller – in "Get ready to vote for the Constitutional Officers" in June. I reviewed their bios, some of the interesting history between them, and money raised to-date.
Since then, I attended the League of Women Voters Candidate Forum on June 29 (watch replay here), followed developments in local media, reviewed campaign contributions and endorsements, and spoke with people I respect who know one or both candidates well. I also reviewed the most recent Clerk Budget to get a more complete sense of what the job entails, how the $20.5 million budget is spent, and how many employees are involved (185, in six Departments: General Services, Clerk to the Board, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Recording and Management Information Systems).
The Money
Nothing particularly concerning turned up in my review of the candidates' contributions, but I was once again dismayed at what it costs to run for local office. Hiller has outraised Brock but I doubt that that will be the deciding factor as both have considerable name recognition. Hiller received about the same number of contributions but in larger amounts and with more for the maximum $1000. None of Hiller's contributors identified as PACs; two of Brock's $1000 donors did: Prosperity Florida, whose mission is "to foster and promote accountable, efficient and limited government throughout Florida, while promoting reform through market solutions," and The Committee for Justice, about which I can find no meaningful information. Brock loaned $6000 more to his campaign than Hiller loaned to hers.
Endorsers and Critics
It's not surprising that both candidates have their strong supporters and their harsh detractors, given their out-sized personalities, the publicly-contentious relationship between them and the differences between the Clerk and some Commissioners over the years about the role of the Clerk and, more recently, approval of vendor invoices.
Hiller's website cites endorsements critical of Brock from former County Commissioners Jim Coletta and Fred Coyle and current Commissioner Tim Nance. Other endorsements are from former Naples Councilman Gary Price, the Greater Naples Better Government Committee and the Libertarian Party of Collier County.
Brock's website cites endorsements from current Commissioner Tom Henning, Naples Vice Mayor Linda Penniman, former State Representative Tom Grady, Collier County Tourist Development Council Chairman Murray Hendel, prominent Naples attorney Laird A. Lile and the Collier County Republican Executive Committee.
Your decision
Both candidates are CPAs, MBAs and attorneys with appropriate education for the job. Brock has built and strategically directed the organization over time and, having been elected to six successive four-year terms, it seems the public and his constituents in the judicial system believe he has managed it well.
The single glaring exception is his disputes with the BCC which are, in my opinion, substantive. I've been disappointed by the failure of both sides to resolve these matters professionally, courteously and without litigation. Each side and its supporters blames the other and, quite honestly, it's an embarrassment to our community.
Some say that after 23 years, it's time for a change. Is Hiller is the answer?
It's up to you to decide.

text: This is probably my favorite bookstore in the world! There might be ones which are a little bit bigger or with more books, but I have a personel attachment to this bookstores and I have spent hours upon hours in this bookstore over the years. It is 5 floors of books, books, and more books! You can always find something to read or something new and interesting! I never thought that I would like one speicific Genre or another, but I was surprised as to what I liked from the selection of recommended books! I have even bought kid books because I liked the story so much and not finding out it was kids books until later! I didn't even care, I was really happy that I was entertained by the book and I bought the rest of the trilogy. I have a few authors that I keep buying their books like Dean Koontz, Trudi Canavan, Dan Simmons, Max Barry, and Joshua Mowll. There other authors that I check up on every once in a while, but I always am open to a good story. When I'm walking around looking at the shelves I always feel like I could find a gem of a book in between all these shelves and once I find it, it is the best feeling in the world! You just keep reading that book, not wanting to go to sleep or the story to finish! I find it frustrating when I finish a good book because its hard to replace! Maybe Im jumping into this too much, but its something to experience! They also have my favorite notepads here which is the Moleskine notepads, they are the best ot right in and I always have one with me in a meeting or carrying it under the seat of my bike. There is something for everyone in this bookstore, I could spend days in there because there are couchs available on the other floors! Just as long as nobody has taken them!

Regular price
Baylor Watch Co. is not a name you hear that often and for that exact reason that is why we love Baylor watches (I personally own one too), they provide such great value for money and have impeccable style. Baylor Watch Co. was once under the umbrella of Benrus from the 1950s through the 1970s and had a strong presence in the United States as it was retailed by Zales Jewelry Company. Heuer made numerous watches for Zales under the Baylor watch name. When Heuer decide to unload most all their mechanical and automatic watches and concentrate on the automatic chronograph Zales purchase the entire stock for pennies on the dollar, thus why they are a fantastic value proposition with reliable and strong movements. Just don't tell too many people about this little known watch fact so you can still buy a Baylor for a reasonable price....shhhhh!
This amazing Baylor Vintage Watch uses an mechanical 17 Jewel 'hand-winding' movement with a date display, it is keeping perfect time and working as it should. The watch does have a few scratches and miner dents on the watch case - however these add to the vintage look. The watch's dial has acquired beautiful very-light patina over the many years (patina refers to this natural aging process of the timepieces that generally alters the hands, hour markers, and dials of the watch face. Collectors believe this patina adds character as every scratch, faded numeral and discolouring represents a story of the watch's past.CASE: Good condition - few scratches and miner dents - however these add to the vintage look.DIAL: Amazing Condition - Very-light patina.BACK CASE: Great condition.CROWN: Fantastic condition. CRYSTAL: Great condition. OVERALL CONDITION: Has been tested, cleaned and checked over and is in excellent working order. PRESENTATION: Presented in a vintage style presentation box, great for a gift or to simply keep the watch in.
CASE SIZE: 35mm - including crown.STRAP LENGTH: Currently 20cm but can be shortened, please let us know if you would like us to do this for you.CASE MATERIAL: Gold Plated & Stainless Steel.

Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said his party will oppose the government's bill on religious conversion in the state assembly.
The state cabinet earlier this week approved the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance, 2020 to curb forcible or "dishonest" religious conversions including those for the sake of marriage, which could land violators in jail for up to 10 years.
Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel gave assent to the ordinance on Saturday. Now, it will be presented in the state legislature for passage. Commenting on it, Akhilesh Yadav told reporters, "The Samajwadi Party is not in favour of any such law. We will oppose it (when it comes to the assembly)."
The government does not want to debate on more important issues due to which it brought the ordinance, he said, alleging that it is creating hatred and chasm in society.
The Samajwadi Party president also extended support to the farmers' protest against the Centre's farm laws.
"The betterment of farmers cannot be ensured through laws. It will happen only when the government comes forward and provides them with the right price of their produce," he said.
Mr Yadav alleged: "No other government has committed as many atrocities on farmers as this government is doing. This treatment is being meted out by those who had promised to double their income."
He also asked when the Centre is going to bring a law to double farmers' income and provide employment to the youth.
Questioning investment claims of the UP government, Akhilesh Yadav said it should also tell how it has fared in corruption and fake encounters.
"Fake cases are being lodged against political leaders," he alleged.

- Published Version
Download (539kB)
The little-known and rarely collected alga Exophyllum wentii Weber-van Bosse is re-described in detail from the type material, as well as from new collections from Indonesia, which for the first time reveal in detail the structure of cystocarpic and spermatangial plants and the development of tetrasporangial stichidia under culture conditions. New morphological reproductive information confirms placement of the genus Exophyllum within the Rhodomelaceae. Exophyllum is distinguished from other related genera within the Rhodomelaceae by its cartilaginous, non-trichoblastic decumbent thallus with multiple holdfasts and its discoid spermatangial organs. Some Pacific material earlier attributed to E. wentii was found to be misidentified and re-assigned to the Dasyaceae.

Trade Law and Duties
With its system of government subsidies and associated unfair trade practices, Canada is continuously displacing U.S. production and U.S. jobs through its sales of subsidized, below market-value softwood lumber to the United States. Canada's unfair trade practices cause lost sales and revenues leading to mill closures and job cuts in communities across America.
Strong enforcement of the U.S. trade laws, or an effective and durable softwood lumber agreement, is critical for American lumber manufacturers and timberland owners. In their current system, Canadian producers receive advantages due to their unfair subsidies. Rules-based trade is essential to ensuring that all parties compete on a level playing field, and duties are a purposeful and WTO-consistent action that achieves this goal, giving U.S. lumber producers a fair opportunity. Full enforcement of U.S. trade laws allows the U.S. industry to invest and grow to its natural size without being impaired by unfairly traded imports.

Agents say no such event is happening.
"They're all friends and they all talk," Walters said. "But the idea that they're all in this together and they're going to say, 'OK, you go here and I go there,' that's not happening. People just need something good to talk about."
Sure. But wouldn't it make sense for a couple of these guys to go someplace together in an effort to win titles?

October is National Pit Bull Awareness Month and in honor of it, we want to share our favorite Instagram Pitties. These dogs are not only entertaining, but also work their tails off as advocates for the Pit Bull community - showing the world that you can't judge a book by its cover (or a dog by it's breed):
1. @piratethepitbull
Pirate and his mom, Asha, are known across Instagram (and beyond) as major Pit Bull advocates - working to break the stigma against the breed and busting myths left and right.
View this post on Instagram
We've all read them, "pit bull bites" headlines. Unfortunately, these are inaccurate and misleading statistics, that are often circulated by anti pit bull groups and main stream media. When dog bites are reported, victims and witnesses frequently misidentify the breed of dog. On record, people who visit emergency rooms say that either a "dog" bit them, or "a pit bull" bit them. This is based purely on their perception of the what a pit bull looks like. When you have 25+ breeds being reported under one umbrella term of "pit bull" then the statistics are highly flawed, unreliable, and over inflated. The problem doesn't stop there though. These incorrect numbers can then be used by local or national authorities to impose unfair bans on pit bulls such as Breed Specific Legislation (BSL). Pit Bulls are not inherently dangerous, but they are highly trainable, athletic dogs, making them prime candidates to be exploited by maligned humans. The ONLY dog that should be called a PIT BULL is the American Pit Bull Terrier. Educating people about these breed differences is a powerful way to help advocate for bully breeds. Did you pick the only pit bull in the quiz? Y or N? 🏴☠ 🐾 Love Pirate? Follow @piratepitbull

An ode to my best girl. The one who never left. The one who shows and tells everyone else what to do. Who came from less than nothing and now shares her beds and her home and her parents with every dog who comes through the doors. Pig is the ultimate teacher for these dogs. She shows them that people aren't scary. She shows them how to use the magnetic screen door, how to play with a toy, how to knock aside a gate, how to sit nicely, how to drag a person on a leash, how to bark at hallway noises, how to potty outside, how to love freely but also treat other dogs with respect. She has the best body language when she's playing and she has taught me so much about dogs and how they communicate. I know by the way she holds her head or moves her lip if she's feeling playful or threatened. She is my hippogriff- I watch her carefully until she play bows, then I know she is ready and I back away and just let her do her thing. She has cuddled and mothered more dogs than any other dog I know. Though probably never a mama herself, she instinctively drools on and grooms puppies, cuddles and puts her head on shy or nervous dogs, and teaches them all how to romp and play. She's not perfect by any means, but she is the best dog in the world. We truly could not have done this without her. This is a dog who needs slow introductions due to fear reactivity who has successfully had 94 foster siblings. What kind of strength does she have in her heart to be so accepting, to share everything she has, when she came from absolutely nothing? I aspire every day to be more like her. I am beyond blessed to be her caretaker, her guardian, her protector, her loyal royal servant, her mom. To the next 94 and many more Pig. Love you like crazy.

As their bio states, Noah and Lincoln are changing hearts and changing minds about Pit Bulls through their hilarious videos!

Can you guess which of these two hippos gave me two heart attacks b/c he decided to run after a 🦌 and a 🐈? (Read ⤵) .. .. If you guessed Lincoln, you're wrong. NOAH! Yep, old man perfect Noah bolted on me back in 2015 after a deer while walking off leash and again in 2017 when a cat took off and gave chase. Up until that point I failed as an owner b/c I had never trained him on controlling his prey drive. Thank God both times a fence stopped him but he was out of my sight and I thought I had lost him for good. It hasn't happened since. .. .. Lincoln on the other hand hasn't done that b/c we have worked on his prey drive and recall. But, he is a big spaz! Garbage trucks, fireworks, thunder and anything too loud for his comfort level will cause him to freak out. His first reaction is to run off and hide somewhere safe. On top of that, he's an anxious dog. Fireworks are still really bad for him but we keep it under control. Here are some tips to keep your pets safe during fireworks: .. 1. Exercise your dog before fireworks starts. 2. Try to avoid potty breaks during fireworks. 3. If potty breaks can't be avoided, keep a leash on your dog and have a firm grip. 4. Create a safe haven for your dog like in the tub or his crate. 5. Use a collar like the @fi.dogs that will track your dog should it escape. 6. Lastly, as an advanced form of training, desensitize your dogs to fireworks. .. .. This is by no means an exhaustive list but are good to start with. The most important recommendation I can give is use a tracking collar like @fi.dogs b/c no matter where, you will be able to find your dog. We're not perfect and things happen so it's better to be prepared. Take it from me. You don't want to lose your dog and then hate yourself for not getting something that could save and relocate your dog. The technology is here and available to use. .. .. If you choose to get @fi.dogs, you can always use code NOAH25 for $25 off! .. .. Have you ever lost your dog? .. .. Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July! ❤🤍💙 🇺🇸

Guess what...today is officially #nationalpitbullawarenessday !! I'm joining the #pitbullappreciationgratitudechallenge2020 and writing a love letter to my boys 🥺 Simey, thank you for being the perfect addition to our family and convincing us to keep you even though that definitely wasn't our intention. Thank you for being such a sweet, simple, happy soul despite what people put you through; I love knowing that every time I approach you, you'll give me the sweetest kisses and roll over for a belly rub and make my day instantly better ❤❤ Bub, thank you for being my soulmate in dog form. You changed my world and will forever be my heart dog, even when you're pouting and being a huge brat. I can tell you understand things in a way that Simon doesn't, and while this sometimes makes you more of a challenge, I love your intelligence and mischievous behavior. I cry regularly looking at your scars and knowing the hell your life used to be, and yet seeing how gentle and forgiving you are despite it all. . I love both of my boys equally in different ways, and I can't imagine life without them. It will always pain me knowing they were both so close to death just because of misconceptions about their breed. These boys will continue to be ambassadors to show the world just how cuddly, goofy, happy, and perfect these velvet hippos can be! . . #pitbullawarenessmonth #pitbullappreciationday #adoptapit #rescuepit #bullybreed #pitbullmom #pitbullpuppy #pitbull #dontbullymybreed #pitbullsofig #dogsofinstagram #love #instadog #dog #pitbullsofinstagram #dogoftheday #rescued #pitbulllove #cute #dogstagram #doglover #adoptdontshop #pitbulladvocate #puppylove #pitbulllife #americanbully

Conjure up a sweet tooth storm with Martin Morales' Panqueques de Camote, aka luscious sweet potato pancakes
Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamins A and C, dietary fibre and a whole variety of minerals. A cheeky favourite at Andina, this recipe can have any kind of topping, but we think the mixture of fruit and whipped coconut cream is divine.
Serves 4 – 6
Makes 20 pancakes
• 175g plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 25g caster sugar
• 1 egg, plus 2 egg whites
• 225ml hazelnut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 75g sweet potato puree, about 1 very small sweet potato
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted, for frying
• Loche con Chancaca, Chancaca syrup, to serve or yacon syrup, to serve
• a few seasonal berries, to serve
• a few physalis, to serve
For the coconut whipped cream:
• 200ml whipping cream
• 50ml coconut cream
1 Put the plain flour, baking powder and caster sugar in a large bowl and stir to combine. 2 Make a well in the centre and add the whole egg. Use a fork to whisk in the egg, incorporating flour from the sides of your well until you have a thick, almost unworkable paste.
3 Gradually add the hazelnut milk, vanilla extract and sweet potato purée, whisking between each addition, until fully combined.
4 Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks. Add 1 heaped tablespoon of the whisked egg white to the batter and stir in, then add the remaining egg white, stirring gently but thoroughly, keeping the mixture well aerated, until completely combined.
5 Brush a wide, shallow frying pan (or ideally a large pancake pan) with melted butter and set it over a medium–high heat.
6 Add 3 or 4 generous tablespoons of the batter to the pan to create 3 or 4 individual pancakes. Allow the underside of each pancake to cook – you will see it set around the edges and large bubbles will appear on the surface of the pancake – then flip and cook the other side (about 3–4 minutes altogether).
7 Set aside and repeat until you have used up all the batter.
To make the whipped coconut cream, put the ingredients in a bowl and use a hand-held electric whisk until it forms soft peaks.
8 To serve, arrange the pancakes on individual serving plates and top each with chancaca or yacon syrup and whipped coconut cream.
9 Scatter with a few berries and halved physalis and serve immediately.

The Losing Side
Four victims of the barbaric practice of forced conversions recount their traumatic experiences and community activists explore the discourse around the phenomenon, as well as the hardships of the journey to justice.
Short Synopsis:
In rural Sindh, at least four million people belong to Hindu religion which is broadly accepted as a religious minority community. Due to historic rural-urban imbalance, religious discrimination and lack of streamlining into society, they are amongst the most marginalized communities in Pakistan. The women of this community are at particular risk of being kidnapped by the men of Islamic faith to be taken forcefully as wives and are "converted" to become Muslims.
The Losing Side documents the accounts of Vahitoo, Simran, Keeran and Reena, four such women who have been victims of forced conversion and forced marriage. Alongside, various activists, politicians and legal experts involved in these stories further the conversation as to why such a barbaric practice continues to occur regularly. The documentary sheds light on all the legal, social and religious aspects of this.

Actos is a prescription medication designed to help control symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Actos works by increasing sensitivity to insulin and how the body reacts to insulin. Actos side effects vary based on the individual and their health history and range from mild to life-threatening. Studies demonstrated patients who took Actos may be at an increased risk of developing bladder cancer.
It often affects older individuals and is likely to reoccur even with treatment. The bladder is an organ located in the pelvis that stores urine and initial symptoms that are cause for concern frequently involve problems with urination. These symptoms include blood or painful urination and abdominal and back pain. Although the cause of bladder cancer is not known there are recognized risk factors. Factors in addition to old age that contribute to an increased risk of bladder cancer include smoking, exposure to certain chemicals in the workplace, and chronic urinary tract infections and inflammations.
There are four stages of bladder cancer and your doctor will utilize a variety of tests and procedures to determine whether or not a diagnosis of bladder cancer is appropriate. Treatment depends on the stage of cancer and where the cells are located. Surgery is recommended for earlier stages and your doctor may choose to remove only the tumor or the tumor and a small section of the bladder where the cancer is located. More advanced stages of cancer require invasive procedures such as complete removal of the bladder and creation of a new way to expel urine. Chemotherapy and radiation are possible treatments for bladder cancer as well.
Individuals who have experienced serious side effects of Actos such as bladder cancer or increased heart risks should consider contacting a lawyer to investigate a potential Actos lawsuit. The physical, psychological and financial implications of Actos side effects can greatly impact your life and the lives of loved ones. It is imperative to contact an experienced attorney to evaluate whether or not seeking legal compensation is viable option in your specific case.

Aliene de Souza Howell
Aliene de Souza Howell is a Brooklyn based artist who was born and raised in Nashville, TN. She is the daughter of a Brazilian Physical Education Specialist and a psychologist of Welsh descent originally from Long Island, New York. Growing up in this bi-cultural, analytic environment imbued Howell with keen observation, curiosity and scrutiny for human behavior.
In her work, animals and object hybrids strip the specificity of human features to bring the focus to gesture and movement, animals and inanimate objects functioning as metaphor for human interactions with each other, the objects we use, and the natural world.
The graphic and monochromatic nature of the linocut lend her surrealistic images an austere, documentary character out of time and place. The slow, deliberate process of carving a linocut and the image that develops is the result of an intense form of physical excavation. The marks left document a somewhat harsh yet whimsical physical process that mirrors the dual nature of the images.
Howell received her B.F.A from Guilford College and her MFA from the New York Academy of Art. In her spare time Howell is a voracious reader of fiction, film lover and outdoorswoman, having once watched a storm pass below her while hiking in the German Alps. She recently completed a post graduate fellowship, was critiqued by Steve Martin, exhibited in New York City and Germany, and is in the collections of Naomi Watts and Leiv Schreiber, Francie Bishop Good and Howard Tullman.

Living Well And Aging Gracefully
"Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, for you shall only live once. Be comfortable with growing older" -Louise Hay
It is nothing more beautiful than looking into the eyes of wise elders who have birthed generations and aged gracefully with love, peace, and dignity. The marks of time are apparent on their faces, like rings of a mighty oak tree, that measures the test of time weathering of life's storms. The experience of love, joy, pain, and sorrow is inevitable and reflected throughout the seasons of life. Rumi's poem, "The Guest House" captures the essence of our human existence, "This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. a joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whatever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond."
Perhaps we all have memories of those who aged well. My beloved grandmother, through the years, was selfless, loving, vibrant, and talkative. As she aged, she talked less, observed more; but when she would speak, her words were profound. Echoes of her voice remain in my heart and as a source of guidance in my daily life. During my time spent in the East, I observed the reverence and respect for elders, many of whom I had the opportunity to spend quality time and listen intently to their wisdom, history of the land, and memorable stories.
Aging is an attitude. How we feel about ourselves and our beliefs about aging will have an effect on whether we age gracefully and flourish or regard it as a degenerative process fraught with negativity. In Western society, we are heavily influenced by societal attitudes of beauty and youth. Many struggle to defy nature and the natural process of aging being mass consumers of anti-aging products and costly and painful surgical procedures to be regarded as having timeless beauty. At the core is a desire to be admired, accepted, feel worthy, and be loved. The radiant beauty of aging is reflected inside and out, not only through outward appearance but virtues of warmth and compassion.
Life is a gift and one that is an evolutionary journey. To become seasoned with age is to take the bitterness and sweetness of life with grace, feel good about who you really are, and dedicate yourself to maintaining a good life. By knowing yourself, caring for yourself, being appreciative, continuing to grow, creating wholesome relationships, and paying it forward, we can become energized and live interesting and useful lives for the good of ourselves and others.
SEE ALSO: How Can You Lead A Fulfilled Life?
Know yourself
Knowing yourself is an on-going process of self-discovery and ultimately self-realization. The relationship we have with ourselves is the most important. Our needs and life circumstances change over time and present opportunities for honest self-inventory to adapt and become who we aspire to be. Through gentle self-reflection and self-introspection, we can pose critical questions: "What lessons have I learned? Am I satisfied with my life as it is? What changes would I like to make to live my best life? What is keeping me from making the desired changes? Change is not easy but like the caterpillar, transforming its body through the struggles, we can eventually emerge like the butterfly with profound beauty and grace.
Care for yourself
Our well-being is the epitome of graceful living. It is our responsibility to love and care for ourselves. There is an interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit; and a holistic wellness program to nurture ourselves can help us maintain equilibrium, stay vibrant, and optimize functional capacity. Physical wellness encompasses respecting your body's uniqueness and sustaining higher levels of health through proper sleep, diet, and exercise. Our body is an expression of physiological and personal evolution and should be treated with respect. It is important to pay attention to your body and recognize early signs of illness and discomfort and seek support from your healthcare practitioner to ameliorate potential problems. Emotional wellness is the degree to which one feels positive and enthusiastic about oneself and life. It is the capacity to manage one's feelings and related behaviors, develop autonomy, cope with stress, and maintain satisfying relationships with others. Strategies to enhance emotional wellness include: Being optimistic, expressing your concerns in a healthy manner, reading positive literature, participating in wellness forums, spending time with friends and family, and being supportive of others. Spiritual wellness involves our values and beliefs that gives us meaning and purpose. The path to spiritual wellness may involve meditation, prayer, affirmation, gratitude practices, and spiritual rituals. Implementing a personal self-care program can focus our attention on caring and loving ourselves.
Be appreciative
Appreciate the abundance of life. Loss and change are inevitable and part of the human condition. Through our experiences and circumstances, we can embrace the fullness of life. Everything serves a divine purpose for our evolution. Love who you are and strive to be your best. Each moment is an opportunity to make healthy choices. As we age, we move beyond the quest for worldly achievements, discern what is important, and appreciate the simplicity of life. Plato quotes, "Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity". Move with the ebb and flow of the cycles of life and see change as opportunities for new beginnings.
Continue to grow
Life presents many opportunities for conscious awakening and transformation. Our lives can be transformed not only by catastrophic events but joyful and exhilarating experiences and encounters. Take advantage of opportunities to grow and use your creative inspiration to ignite your passion and purpose. Perhaps you are at a point in life where you have more time and freedom to pursue interests that lay dormant. Explore possibilities, let your heart be your guide, and take small steps. Whether it's major milestones or small steps, chart your progress and celebrate your life.
Create wholesome relationships
Healthy and loving relationships are essential for a well-rounded life. Whether it is with family, friends or companions, it is important to foster healthy connections. Our relationships have varying levels of closeness and intimacy. Appreciate them all, even difficult ones that teach us best. Do you have relationships that have endured the test of time? What qualities sustain those relationships? Relationships that are mutually reciprocal, based on authentic self-expression, trust, sincerity, and grounded in unconditional love are everlasting. As we age and evolve, we discern those that are outworn, unhealthy, and toxic. We cannot change others but we can make healthy choices to attract relationships that make us feel good. Exploration of interests, activities, and hobbies can result in the development of new friendships that are fun and pleasurable.
Paying it forward
There is so much richness and wisdom in aging gracefully. Selfless service is a way to make a difference and share our gifts. Mother Teresa quotes, "We can do no great things, but small things with great love". Acts of loving-kindness create a ripple effect of change that impacts the consciousness of humanity. Simple acts of listening intently, offering a helping hand, smiling, and giving encouragement can be uplifting. Consider opportunities for volunteering, whether physical or providing online support, where you can make a difference. You cannot help others without helping yourself. Most importantly, find joy in whatever you choose to pay it forward. Leave your mark in the world and your voice of wisdom in the hearts of those you touch.
Aging gracefully is not something to be considered at a particular point in time. It is an ongoing process of preparation as we position ourselves for years to come. Renew your beliefs about aging and love who you are. Become seasoned with age. Learn from the wisdom of masters and elders and appreciate what they have added to your life. Love and accept yourself, nurture your inner being, and be grateful. Let your evolutionary journey of life transcend you to a higher level of well-being, and your life be a service and highest expression of love.

You�ve been looking forward to your vacation for months. The car is packed, you�ve booked the hotel, and you�re planning several days of uninterrupted relaxation. Nothing could possibly go wrong, yes?
Unfortunately, travel plans don�t always work out the way you planned. Car collisions are all too common, and if you�re traveling by car, you might find yourself involved in one. If it happens to you, don�t panic!
Your vacation doesn�t have to be ruined. There are a few things you must be sure to do to navigate the process successfully.
1. Stay Calm and Assess Injuries
As the dust settles and you come to grips with the reality that you were just in a collision, do your best to remain calm and safe. Take a few deep breaths, and don�t wander from the scene if at all possible.
�Stay in your car until help arrives,� says Tonya Prater, author of the blog Travel Inspired Living. �The only exception is if your vehicle is in danger, in which case you should exit the vehicle as safely as possible, and move to a safe location out of the flow of traffic.�
After you�ve made sure everyone is safe, check for injuries. If you�re lucky, there will only be a few scrapes and bruises.
But many car accidents are far more serious and require medical attention. Before worrying about anything else, make sure those in need of medical care receive it.
2. Call the Police
Many people who get involved in a collision choose not to call the police. They prefer not to bother the authorities, and sometimes, as when there is little or no clear damage, it might be okay to leave them out of the situation, so long as you document that there was no damage before leaving.
If injuries or significant damage have occurred, however, you should notify the authorities. �In most states, when a car accident results in injuries, and/or causes vehicle damage over a certain dollar amount, law enforcement must be notified,� says David Goguen, J.D. in an article published on Nolo.
�In any case, a trained law enforcement officer (from the local police or sheriff's department) can be an invaluable source of help and information in such a confusing situation.� A police report will also protect you if the other driver tries to claim injuries or damage that didn�t happen.
3. Exchange Information with the Other Driver
It�s proper to get the information of the other driver so the at-fault party�s insurance carrier may cover the damages. Write down the name and phone number of the other driver(s), as well as the license plate number, make, model, and insurance information for all the vehicles involved.
4. Document the Accident
When things have calmed down and the people who need medical attention have received it, take a few minutes to document the accident. Sometimes, insurance companies require such proof to release a full payment.
In addition, accident fraudsters will sometimes attempt to claim more damage or injury than actually was the case. Your thorough documentation will protect you from fraud.
Take photos, talk to witnesses, and write down their contact information in case you need them to testify later. The police report will also help if facts are disputed.
5. Report Your Claim to the Insurance Company (If Applicable)
If it was your fault, you�ll need to report the claim to the insurance company, so it can make payments. If it wasn�t your fault, though, the other driver�s insurance should pay for the damages.
Be wary of reporting accidents to your insurer when they aren�t your responsibility, because it can sometimes cause your rates to increase, even though you didn�t do anything.
6. Hire an Attorney
If the other party refuses to pay, is inadequately insured, or the insurance company gives you trouble, you can fight for your just compensation. You can also fight if the settlement does not furnish enough to cover the resulting pain and suffering from your accident.
�Many crash victims wonder whether they really need an attorney after an auto accident,� observe the attorneys at Demas Law Group in Sacramento. �After all, the at-fault driver�s insurance company may have already contacted you with a settlement amount offer. The fact is: If you have been seriously hurt in a crash, you can�t trust a profit-minded insurance company. You need your own attorney to conduct an independent investigation and calculate an honest assessment of your current and future damages.�
7. Try to Enjoy the Rest of Your Vacation!
Unless you or your party is seriously injured, you can probably resume your vacation as planned. Try not to let this setback ruin your good time.
If your car is too damaged to drive, park it and get a rental to finish out your trip. You can take care of the car and the serious aspects of the accident when you return home.

I want to thank Joel Dyer for his Oct. 11, "My Willmeng Dilemma." It's written mainly about my candidacy for Boulder County Commissioner, but also touches on bigger issues, not just for Boulder County but for our planet as a whole. There's discussion about Donald Trump, global warming and the quasi-activism of Democratic Party front groups like the Sierra Club. The billionaires directing the Colorado political script get an especially well-deserved spotlight. At the end of the article, brother Joel concludes he will vote for the radical in the Boulder County Commissioner's race. That's me.
Radical aside, a few things about my candidacy for Boulder County Commissioner are entirely conventional. We need votes to get into office to help make the changes we feel are needed. We discuss the environment, affordable housing, working conditions, public transit and regenerative agriculture, among all of the other topics most pressing to the regular people of Boulder County. We are gaining endorsements, knocking on doors, winning debates, creating social media presence and driving a qualitatively different narrative for Boulder County political life. All of this is bread-and-butter grassroots organizing, and it's what we do best.
Along the way, our campaign has encountered some real resistance. I've been subpoenaed by Martin Marietta because of my efforts to keep Boulder County's oil industry from being restarted. The campaign has also become upsetting enough to current political leadership that the chair of the Colorado Democratic Party, Morgan Carroll herself, had to be brought in to help craft talking points to counter us.
Why is this? Why has a registered nurse, a union rep, community organizer and family man, someone lacking the resources, networks and giant political capital of the established political class, become such a problem for politicians and the CEOs of the oil and gas industry?
It's because I understand that no significant political change comes from politicians alone. It comes from regular people building the independent political force needed to pressure a corrupt and calcified political system to do things it would not normally do. This understanding isn't inconsequential, and it isn't a platitude.
Within my community organizing, this approach helped build an organization that led and won the fight to reduce the retirement age for 34,000 union carpenters. It informed our support for the Little Village Latino community in Chicago, an effort that compelled the building of a new neighborhood high school. It broke the meeting of corporate trade barons attempting to confer and govern at the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999. And it's what helped us force fracking to a complete halt in Boulder County for the last six years.
We aren't supposed to talk about or accomplish these types of results. But people traditionally build and utilize political power well beyond the comfort and expectations of politicians and corporations. Building this kind of grassroots power is effective, inspiring, powerful, audacious and enormously consequential for people and the environment. It also comes with a political price to those accustomed to making important decisions on our behalf. There you see why we are considered radical. We are using this campaign and would use the office of Commissioner to build that grassroots power.
At the end of the day we all have a shared dilemma. The prescribed methods of political change are falling apart along with the collapse of the global climate and the crisis facing all humanity. We can cling to the past and perceived safety, or we can break free and lead a new movement that may have the chance to bring us all together and spare our children the disaster gathering on the horizon. It's this vision that I will give my life to, and I hope it can take a great leap forward this Nov. 6 and beyond.
