Question about evoultion?
This is my question. IF evoultion is true, how come humans have an inclination to help other humans from different races and nationalities, even giving their lives? Doesnt this contradict "Survival of the fittest" from which we evoulved?
(gah, spelling sucks today) I mean, even ants while helping their own, would kill an ant from another colony if the ant was in danger as oppossed to helping it. And I study evoultion-you cant evolve altruism (like I said, spelling sucks)
Ha! but you contradict what evoultion says. why save what is going to die anyway? survival of the fittest right? why would you let a weak one live?
And wouldnt perserving the species mean you would let the weak ones die, so the weak one would not pass on its genes?
Well corrision,(or however you spell it) You should call up your big boys, cause thats what your future atheists are learning in school, what I just said regarding survival of the fittest.
And corrison your right the fittest genes get passed through, but if your weak, what genes do you have
Red, your wrong. Like I said before, ants from different colonies will fight rather than help each other. They are the same "race", but different colony. same goes with packs of wolves, and any other social species.
Corrison, I dont even need to tell you. just pick up any evoultion book.
Geek, that has to be the STUPIDEST thing I have EVER heard.
Corrison, I'm talking about the average school book.

Natural selection favors those who have heritable traits that increase chances of survival. Selfishness is not a good trait for a species whose muscles are extremely weak relative to other animals. Our ancestors had to work together to survive so developing altruistic tendencies (to ones own family and friends) would be beneficial to a species who cannot rely on brute force to survive. Hence, no contradicton in evolutionary theory (natural selection), not to be confused with evolutionary fact (common ancestry).
You also may have noticed that I said altruistic to family and friends. Humans are not inclined to help others unlike themselves or when a reward is not likely. We only help family out of what you may call love and affection, but is truly a survival strategy. We help friends so that they will return the favor. And when we do help other races, we tend to expect some kind of compensation.
That's only because you've yet to tape record your own ramblings. Your understanding of evolution is analogous to my dog's understanding of calculus. You'll never get it so don't even bother. Stick to some field that doesn't matter like theology, cause you'll fail at any attempt to work in science or any relevant occupation.

Humans are all the same species. Any human (of the opposite gender of course) can interbreed with any other human regardless of geography or ethnicity, so we all have a vested interest in keeping our fellow humans alive.
Survival of the fittest is not an active effort on the part of humans, or any other species, though it may appear that way at times. Yes, we compete for resources and sometimes we kill each other to obtain them, but this is not evolution. The most well adapted (fittest) survive even if they're not always the most aggressive.
There has been much speculation of why we (humans) cooperate, and probably it has a lot to do with being at the top of the food chain. Since there are many, many animals that, one on one, can easily kill a human being, cooperation was the only way we could hunt and kill our food when smaller game and plants were unavailable.
Generosity/altruism probably arose as a result of cooperative clans realizing that what worked for them on a micro level would also work on a macro level. If you gave food to a hungry neighboring clan when you had an excess, it could be reasonably assumed they would return the favor when you needed food. As the benefits of this behavior became clear, it eventually became ingrained into the human psyche.

This does contradict classical evolution, but the theory has been considerably refined since Darwin first came up with the origin of species. First, you have to remember that it's not your off-springs necessarily that need to survive for you to pass on your genes, but any descendants which have a good proportion of your genes.
A parent's love for their children, of course, makes sense, because that natural instinct promotes the survival of one's genes. But further than this, it also makes sense, evolution-wise to encourage the well-being of a number of your family members, including nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, and all those closely related to you.
Furthermore, genetic studies find there are relatively little genetic variations within a species. Over 95 percent of genes are common to all of humanity. Because genetic survival, as opposed to personal survival, is more important to the process of evolution, it makes perfect sense to imagine altruism being built in to the genetic code through the process of evolution.
So it is that we find altruism in many species on earth and, at the very least limitations to aggression within a species. Lions and other well-armed predators don't typically kill one another.

Because those different nationalities and "races" are political divisions, not biological ones. We are all one species, a species that evolved in social groups, and helping each other is part of how we survive.
Sorry, youngster, you're wrong. Humans survive best when ALL available humans are cooperating. That's why these political divisions are counterproductive. The bigger the group, the better for survival.
No human can be examined as an evolved biological entity as an "individual," floating in space alone. That's the error made by believers in the mistakenly-named idea "social Darwinism," which is actually a conception that is contrary to evolution - examining members of a social species as if they were in isolation.
(After I wrote the above, I looked at your picture. Unlike the impression you give, you're no youngster! Aren't you a little old to be talking like this?)

Marooned on Earth has it right, Many, many animals depend on the group for survival. The lion depends on the zebra etc. The python depends on its prey. Crocodiles lay quietly till something comes along that represents food. There are some people that do eat others but they are far and few between. Mostly the people will help others without a thought. People generally does not kill or injure another because they came from a different location or neighborhood.

No, it's called preserving the species.
I was reading a few weeks ago on Newswise how some researchers had found what they think is the altruism gene, and others had located an area of the brain that responded to images of people in need of help.
Remember, Ayn Rand was no scientist, just a bitter control freak, so don't take her assertions as fact. If communities had not had cooperation, there would not have been early communities.
"Survival of the fittest" is the most misquoted and misunderstood term. The fittest genes get passed along.
I submit your "study" of evolution is very zig zag and cherry picked. If I am wrong, tell me which university is teaching you this nonsense.
I'm way ahead of you, son. Got an entire bookcase with nothing but books about evolution. Nice dodge. So you're not studying it, you're just hoping to refute it and have failed.
Good night.

Humans have evolved beyond nature. We no longer live there. Consider the fact that so many animal rights people think nature is like a Disney film. It ain't. And since we can separate ourselves from nature, we can see value in things that are not material things (unless, of course, you're an ultra-conservative) like justice, love, harmony, and beauty. We can be curious about others and not destructive (unless you are one the the people who practice desert religions). It's cool to be human. It's one of the reasons I'm less concerned about pie in the sky.

We are HUMANS of the same SPECIES. Black, white, Indian, autistic etc. WE ARE HUMAN, their is only one kind of Human, HOMO-SAPIEN. But first you would have to understand what a Human is and what Humans do. This is why you can't compare ant to a Human. With the development of society and religion we have learned to that everyone has value. The proof is the simple fact that we exist, if not my family would be at war with my next door neighbor who would be at war with their next door neighbor etc.
Sounds like your out of touch with your Humanity
- wacky_racerLv 51 decade ago
"Survival of the fittest" is the right term for today's events... the fittest are trying its might to be fit among the weaker genes as what the revolutions are for the records, " United we stand, divided we fall'. Which is all in all the political evolution.Source(s): Here, there and everywhere.

I actual have self belief in God. He created something and each thing. How ought to you think that something blew up and positioned each and every thing interior the universe to the place it ought to stay to tell the story for hundereds even thousands of years. an excellent type of individuals say that this is way less complicated to have self belief that it replaced into by twist of destiny, yet once you think of approximately it, this is way less complicated to have self belief that somebody replaced into right here earlier each and every thing and made all of it. somebody continually has greater potential than somebody else, yet there must be an end of the potential line and the tip is God. He began and could continually be the main effectual.

You've got to hand it to Burke O'Connell.
The New England Patriots fan was so sure Tom Brady and the Pats were going to defeat the Broncos in the AFC championship this past Sunday, and then go on to victory two weeks later, that last Friday, he got a tattoo declaring the team the winner of Super Bowl 50.
But rather than moping about what a dumbass he is, like most of us would have done in a similar circumstance, he's loving every minute of his newfound notoriety.
Here's a photo of the tattoo by artist Milk Tatz that O'Connell posted on his Facebook page the day before the game along with a caption that reads: "NO FILTER ON THIS!!!! WE GOT THIS.... SUPERBOWL WE R THE FUCKIN BEST."
Shortly thereafter, O'Connell boasted about the immediate media attention he was getting in the Boston area.
"Got Doug Meehan 12 News talking about my tattoo my brotha MILK TATZ did," he wrote in text that accompanies this screen capture:
He added: "lol can't wait to hear all the comment."
The following Monday, after the Broncos beat the Patriots 20-18, O'Connell would have seemed a likely candidate for suicide.
But no: He was absolutely psyched, as is clear from this video.
He was even more overjoyed when WCVB-TV.News Channel 5 in Boston wanted to do a story about his ink.
In the next video he shared, he says, "Hey, for all you fuckin' haters out there, News Channel 5's comin' to the crib! So fuck everybody! That fuckin' shit worked! All that for exposure! That's the best shit ever! All those motherfuckers talkin' shit!"
Here's that clip.
In the hours that followed, O'Connell shared a pic of the Channel 5 interview....
...and a shot of his other prominent, if less newsworthy, tattoos:
He was clearly happy with the story that resulted.
In it, he makes it clear he has no regrets about the tattoo. "They're champs anyway. We got four rings," he's quoted as saying. "We're the best anyway regardless if we win or lose."
Once a Patriots fan, always a Patriots fan.

Display Current (instantaneous) Speed on the mobile app Record screen
I would like to use Strava on my iPhone as my bike computer and replace my current wireless bike computer. About the only feature that is missing from Strava to have the same functionality as my computer is a speedometer that shows my current speed. Other GPS apps, such as Runtastic, do this so it shouldn't be a big deal for Strava to implement. Thanks.

Munich Re's Digital Partners Selects Solartis as a Preferred Policy Administration Technology Provider for Their Growing Stable of Insurance Technology Startups.
Manhattan Beach, CA (PRWEB) November 8, 2018 — In 2016, Munich Re established their own startup unit, Digital Partners, with a vision to develop an ecosystem for insurance startups to flourish. The aim for partnered insurtechs is to build profitable partnerships and to enhance the insurance industry's customer engagement. A key decision in a young company's life is whether to ''build vs buy" the technology they need to support their business model. After performing extensive due diligence on the available options and from their experiences working with over 20 start-ups, Digital Partners has selected Solartis as a preferred insurance technology provider for policy administration services.
The partnership between Digital Partners and Solartis initially started through the selection of Solartis's quote and policy processing microservices for Embroker, a tech-driven commercial insurance brokerage. The relationship with Solartis grew as Digital Partners helped one of their newest partners, Buckle, a rideshare startup, with their technology selection process. Both startups selected Solartis sales and policy life cycle microservices for rapid insurance product launch capabilities and because Solartis microservices are easily accessible (via API calls) from their own technology platforms.
Nick Richardson, President and CEO of Solartis says: "We are excited to partner with Digital Partners as a preferred insurance technology partner. With two partner companies already using our Solartis Microservices Technology Platform and several others in discussion, we are looking forward to a mutually beneficial partnership."
Mark Dennis, Global COO and European CEO of Digital Partners added: "Digital Partners aims to be the fastest and most flexible insurance partner for digital disruptors. At the heart of our proposition is a network of best in class solution providers, and Solartis are a great fit for this model. The team at Solartis understand how digital disruption is changing the insurance industry, and they simply get how to engage with start-ups and other disruptors."
Munich Re is one of the world's leading providers of reinsurance, primary insurance, and insurance-related risk solutions. The group consists of the reinsurance and ERGO business segments, as well as the capital investment company MEAG and Digital Partners, a global venture focused on furthering the digitalization of insurance, that is partnering with first-movers and innovators in the insurance technology space.
Solartis is redefining policy administration with modern software and technology methodologies. They help insurance organizations meet the inevitable challenges ahead as the industry goes through rampant change. Solartis's goal is to reduce the cost of policy administration as close to zero as possible.

A 40-inch telly might once have been considered so large it was positively vulgar, my dear, but these days 40 inches is a popular entry-level and 'second TV' size. If you want a telly for the bedroom, kitchen or smaller lounge, a 40-inch panel should be a perfect fit.
Buying a 40-inch 4K television: what you need to know
4K is now a common fixture at this size, although there are still a number of HD models out there too. There are two key points to remember when auditioning 40-inch 4K TV models: you won't really see any performance benefits with native 2160p material if you view from a respectable distance, so you might want to rearrange the furniture, and pull the sofa a little closer.
Also, a lack of physical size inevitably, impacts what can be done with onboard audio, so budgeting for some sort of soundbar or soundbase will pay dividends.
Read more: Samsung 65Q90R (QE65Q90R) review: the best TV of 2019
Perhaps the best thing about a 40-inch TV is that it's incredibly versatile when it comes to placement, and as we reveal in our countdown, there's some real eye-catching designs to be had. So kick back and take notes, as we trawl through some fabulous forties. They're in descending order of price, but all highly affordable, apart from the first one maybe.
Best 4K, 40-inch TVs from most expensive to cheapest
1. Samsung UE40LS001AU Serif 4K
Best 40-inch TV for sheer style and pizzazz
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Most 40-inch TVs are, by their nature, somewhat utilitarian, but not so the Samsung Serif.
Created by the award-winning French design partnership of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, in conjunction with Samsung's head of visual display design Yun-Je Kang, this is an extraordinary reinvention of the smaller TV, and it's won several prestigious design awards.
This is the first technology project to come from the Bouroullec drawing board, which goes some way to explaining its unconventional style. The back panel is textile not plastic, and held in place by magnets.
The set forms a serif-style "I" when seen in profile, courtesy of a self-supporting frame – hence the name. The TV can stand on retro pedestal legs or be placed on a table or shelf. You can even use the top of the TV as a platform to showcase your Lego collectables and bowls trophies.
Beneath the surface, there's some decent TV tech too. The Serif TV featured here is a 4K model, although there are also two smaller, HD-only iterations, the Serif Medium and Serif Mini.
We particularly love the Serif's stylised Curtain Mode interface. When active, the display can become a clock, music player control or photo viewer. The TV also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, letting you pair it with a smartphone and stream to the integrated 20w sound system.
In addition to Samsung's smart platform there's also a fully featured USB media player onboard, for music, video and JPEG playback from USB.
Samsung's Serif set is unique. A one-off. You don't get to say that very often when it comes to TV design. We could perhaps ask for more than two HDMIs and two USBs given the price, but let's not be churlish, darlings.
2) Panasonic TX-40EX700B
Best 40-inch TV under £500
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Compared to the Serif, this is more like what you'd expect a 40-inch TV to look, and also more what you'd expect to pay for a really good one. It's still one of the better lookers at this size, with Panasonic's EX700 offering a high level of finish and feature.
HDR10 and HLG compatible, the EX700 uses Bright Panel technology to improve contrast and colour richness. An HDR Brightness Enhancer is available for added dynamic pizzazz.
The set features a metallic frame, with curvaceous Switch Design adjustable feet that can sit in the middle or at the edges. Around the back, you'll find three 4K-ready HDMIs, a trio of USBs plus a legacy AV input for plugging in your Sega Dreamcast.
The smart platform is Panasonic's My Home Screen 2.0, which combines a deceptively simple user interface with all key streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon Video and YouTube in 4K. As the set has a Freeview Play tuner, you also get all the main catch-up channels to hand.
In all, a premium 40-something 4K TV for a by-no-means-unreasonable price. It's the step-up model to the EX600 (next up in this list), and as such offers a slightly higher performance level, particularly when it comes to motion handling. Arguably, the EX600 offers better value, but this is a better overall experience.
3) Panasonic TX-40EX600B
Best 4K 40-inch TV under £400
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
The EX600 range is Panasonic's jumping on point for 4K HDR, and this 40-incher is a sweet looking screen. The bezel is trim while adjustable, kinked-out feet fit different widths of AV furniture. Connections include three HDMIs and a trio of USBs.
The EX600 is built around a High Contrast panel and has adaptive backlight dimming. Resolution is blade-sharp 2160p, and Advanced Colour Processing keeps hues rich. HDR support covers both standard HDR10 and broadcast HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma). Motion handling is rated at 1300Hz BMR, which means it'll do a fair job but don't expect crystal clarity with sports.
There's no compromise on the smart platform. Panasonic's My Home Screen 2.0 is intuitive and powerful, offering a welcome level of customisation. You can add channels and services to the Home screen, as you need them. Streaming services include Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, plus YouTube (all of which stream in 4K), Wuaki TV, Vimeo and others. An integrated Freeview Play tuner ensures you receive all main catch-up TV services include BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, and Demand 5, as well as Dave, Really, Yesterday and Drama.
The set has standard downward firing speakers, rated at 20w. There's plenty of volume, if not too much in the way of pronounced stereophonics. A solid proposition then, from a set that looks more expensive than it actually is.
4) Sony KDL-40RE453
Decent 40-inch HD with HDR TV for gaming for under £400
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
If you've got a PlayStation 4 and are starting to feel a bit left out with all this talk of High Dynamic Range games and UHD wotnot, then don't despair. You really don't need to invest in a PlayStation 4 Pro and a 4K TV just yet.
Sony has brought HDR compatibility to the world of 1080p TV, effectively creating a halfway house, to help you out. Given that all PS4's now have the ability to display HDR games, you can understand the brand's logic.
The KDL-40RE453 may not have 2160p resolution, but it certainly looks sharp. With a thin bezel and faux aluminium finish, it's fashionably minimalistic. In addition to HDR compatibility, picture sharpness is enhanced by X-Reality PRO image processing.
Connectivity is frugal though, with just two HDMI inputs and a pair of USBs.
5) Samsung UE40MU6120
Best 40-inch, 4K TV under £350
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This 6 Series 4K display offers everything you need from a low-cost 40-inch TV. It has 2160p resolution, won't throw up incompatibility messages when you connect an HDR source, and has all key binge-watching TV services you want on tap, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.
Few brands nail the mainstream TV market as well as Samsung, and this 40-incher is difficult to resist. It's built to a price, but looks smart enough. The thin bezel, which has a hairline finish and angular pedestal, are just the right side of trendy.
The UE40MU6120 comes with a slim, friendly remote control, and has a simplified smart platform that's easy to navigate. It would have been nice to have Freeview Play on board, but key catch-up services are to hand.
Obviously, this isn't a Wide Colour Gamut panel, but vibrancy is boosted by the brand's Active Crystal Colour technology. The set is compatible with standard HDR10, but don't expect too much in the way of peak brightness.
Connections include three HDMIs, plus an optical output for an external digital audio system.
If you're planning to park it in a spare room or den, then the onboard 2 x 10W sound system will be good enough. If it's your principal TV, a soundbar or soundbase of some description will be in order.

Practicing Criminal Lawyers in Broward and must be familiar with DNA forensic issues. DNA Profiles Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a complex molecule found in the nucleus of each human cell. It carries a person's genetic information. The components of the DNA molecule are arranged differently for every individual except between identical twins. A scientific process for analyzing DNA produces a print or profile that contains a pattern of bands believed to be unique to a particular person's DNA. Criminal courts are seeing more DNA cases every year as forensic technology improves.
Utilizing DNA testing in Broward County courthouse crime lab, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, involves three steps: (1) creating a DNA profile of a sample; (2) determining whether the profiles of different samples match; and (3) if the samples match, computing the probability of a random match. Expert witnesses are required to offer statistical analysis of population frequencies and to assess the significance of a particular test result.
Many jurisdictions have statutes requiring convicted felons to furnish a blood sample for DNA printing; such prints are then stored in a data bank for future law enforcement purposes. The courts have generally upheld the admission of a DNA profile comparison to prove or disprove identity.
"HLA Blood Tests"
The results of a Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) blood test are often introduced in rape and incest prosecutions. Although such evidence does not by itself establish identity or guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, evidence of population percentages of certain combinations of blood characteristics is relevant evidence tending to establish the identity of the perpetrator of the crime.
DNA's Role According to Florida Sex Crimes Attorney James Weick
The Urban Institute on Using DNA to Overturn Wrongful Convictions.
The researchers sorted the DNA test results into four categories:
Indeterminate — DNA testing could not determine whether the convicted person was the source of the DNA on the evidence.
Inculpatory — DNA testing confirmed that the person convicted was the source of the DNA.
Exculpatory but insufficient to support exoneration — DNA testing eliminated the convicted person as the source of the DNA, but elimination was not sufficient to support potential exoneration without additional probative evidence.
Exculpatory and supportive of exoneration — DNA testing eliminated the convicted person as the source of the DNA, and that elimination supported potential exoneration.
For a variety of reasons — including the age of the biological evidence — DNA testing in two-thirds of the cases yielded "indeterminate" results, meaning that DNA testing was not sufficient to determine whether the convicted person was the source of the DNA.
For more information about how DNA evidence may impact your case, contact William Moore Offices in Fort Lauderdale.

Punisher: Nightmare #4 Review
Writter: Scott M. Gimple
Artist: Mark Texeira
Colorist: Frank D'Armata
STORY (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS): This issue begins when the last one stopped, Frank, Dubose and Johnny falling from the building where they were interrogating Dubose before Johnny turned against Frank.
While falling, Frank managed to grab a ledge of a window avoiding direct hit into the concrete. When he reached downstairs he only found Dubose in his last breath he said a name to Frank, Kyle Sarnoff. That name is someone related to Frank's past back into Vietnam.
Johnny is on the run by a cab, while Frank gets some info about his wherebouts... Times Square. Frank gets back to his warehouse and starts to arming up and desguise himself to get Johnny in Time Square. While he is in Time Square some cops spot him and try to bring him in, but Frank subdue them and goes underground. Johnny is in the underground planning to bomb Time Square using C-4 that he grab from Frank's bag while they were falling.
WRITING: Once more Gimple is really doing a great job by characterizing Frank, this time we travel back into one of the tours of Frank back in the 'Nam. Gimple explain to us two important situations back in Nam that are important to this story related to Kyle Sarnoff. Gimple in this issue is exploring about Frank's remaining humanity which is a good thing for me.
ART: Nothing more to add since the last issue, great work by this great team Tex and D'Armata. Only one not so good points. While desguised in Times Square someone walking with dark glasses by night, one travel/sport bags in each hand and the white boots, in my opinion is not the best way to desguise...
ENTERTAINING VALUE: Since issue #3 this mini-series is getting better and better like i was predicted in the last review of this book, in this issue Gimple is exploring Frank's remaining humanity and he is doing a wonderful job linking to some events in his past. I have said that this book could be a good way to new readers start reading the Punisher and its confirmed. It's a fact that Tex and D'Armata are doing a great job in the art of this book but the only downside is related to Frank's desguise in Times Square. I'm glad that this book is out, this will give some hope to all Punisher fans that beside Rucka's there are more writers that can handle this character.

Our Story
Vanessa Bieker, Founder
Fly Brave was created in January of 2016 in response to a need for continued support for adults with developmental disabilities following the school years. Fly Brave started with 5 families and today serves over 250. Over the last 3 years, Fly Brave has established a community based employment training program (landscaping), pubic speaking network of self advocates, social skills workshops, numerous events (proms, karaoke, Fashion Shows, Talent Show, Art Shows), a successful microbusiness (t-shirt shop), fitness programs, police involvement, art programs, and community integration through volunteerism.
When my son John, who has non-verbal autism, was aging out of the school system at 22 years old, I began searching for programs to continue his growth and steps to independence into adulthood. Coming up short, I left my career behind to build a foundation for John and others like him in our community, to build upon their strengths and talents to live a purpose filled life. I could not do this alone. It is with a village consisting of a dedicated Board of Directors, community members, and parent volunteers who share the same vision, that we celebrate our third year of operation.
About John
You can say we grew up together as I was just 22 years old when he was diagnosed at 18 months of age. Although I was a single mom who worked full time and attended college at night, my quest to fill every free hour with giving John a purpose filled life was a priority. When he was diagnosed, I went through a roller coaster ride of emotions. However, I didn't sit there long. I got up and became pro-active in making sure he experienced everything life had to offer. I joined a parent support group where I met a therapist who told me the best thing I could do for him was to immerse him in the world; to give him every life experience possible to help him navigate through the world of autism. I took that information to heart and over the next 22 years we would become explorers.
We found his gift of running in 2014 when we were out for a walk and stumbled upon a high school track. John experienced the normal pains of puberty and our evening strolls gave him a sense of calm. However, this time he was different. After running around that track several times, his anxiety lessened and instead of getting up throughout the night, he slept a full 8 hours uninterrupted.
He joined the Sacramento County Chargers Special Olympics Track and Field team and wowed the community with his 5 minute mile. He went on to run in 5/10k races and his dream got bigger, to run in the Boston Marathon. He began running half marathons, 20 milers and eventually his first full marathon, CIM, (California International Marathon), on Dec 3, 2017, in hopes to Boston qualify.
John sustained a broken ankle during the marathon around mile 6. Yet, he was determined to finish and he did. Despite his injury, he qualified for the Boston Marathon, completing the 26.2 mile race in 4 hours and 27 minutes.
On December 2, 2018, John ran CIM once again to upgrade his time for Boston and finished in 3:17!
John ran the 2019 Boston Marathon on April 15th, in 3:52; sponsored by Total Nutrition and coached by Darren Morgan, Fleet Feet Racing.
John reached Boston and he isn't done. He has turned his passion for running into a professional career.
He ran in the Boston Qualifying Revel race series, completing the Big Bear Marathon, his first mountain race that began at 6700 ft in elevation without a guide, on November 9. 2019 and finished in 3:28. He qualified for Boston once again! He will re-run Boston in April 2021.
On April 4, 2020, one year from running Boston, he will enter a journey of 50 miles in the AR50 race. His pre-training run will take place on February 29, 2020 in the Salmon Falls 50K (31 mile trail race).
He has set his sights on running the Western States 100 mile race in 2022.
He receives messages of encouragement and appreciation from all over the world. His story is one of hope and inspiration and his message remains the same, he is first a runner, who happens to have non-verbal autism. He holds a job, has found love with girlfriend Drea and is a professional athlete. Non-verbal autism doesn't define.
You can do anything you put your mind to, regardless of your disability so NEVER GIVE UP!

Cat Soup (ねこぢる草, Nekojiru-sō, lit. Nekojiru Grass) is a 2001 Japanese animated short experimental film[1] directed by Tatsuo Satō, inspired by the work of manga artist Nekojiru. The surreal film follows Nyatta, an anthropomorphic kitten, on his travel to the land of the dead and back in an effort to save his sister's soul. Cat Soup was released direct-to-DVD in Japan on 21 February 2001. Central Park Media licensed the film in North America under its Software Sculptors label and was released on DVD on September 9, 2003.
Nyāko (にゃーこ), the older sister of Nyatta (にゃっ太), lies very ill in her room. By accident, Nyatta drowns in the bathtub and, whilst being clinically dead, sees his sister leaving the house holding hands with the Japanese version of Ksitigarbha (known as Jizou in Japanese) and proceeds to follow them. Nyatta tries to take his sister back from Jizou but it holds on to her refusing to let go. Nyāko splits in two leaving Jizou with half of her soul while her brother runs away with the other half. Jizou sends a clue about a flower they must search for in order to retrieve the missing half-soul, then walks away with it.
Meanwhile, Nyatta's father finds his son in the bathtub and revives him. Then, all the family members gather in Nyāko's room to find out that she is dead. Nyatta gets closer with the half-soul in his arms and puts it back in his sister's body through her nose. Nyāko wakes up, but she remains despondent and semi-catatonic. After that Nyatta and Nyāko begin their journey (because their mother asks them to go and buy some abura-age or fried tofu). During their outing they visit the 'Big Whale Circus', the final act of which is a giant penguin-looking bird "filled" with various weather, causes a flood of water which covers everything. The two of them end up on an Ark-esque boat with a pig, which they eventually begin to eat (by unzipping his stomach and pulling out butcher slabs). God drains the world of the oceans (by holding up the world so the water on it runs down his arm), leaving the cats and pig stranded in a desert. The pig is beaten to death and bites off Nyatta's arm, which is repaired by a desert-dweller who makes dolls from the pieces of other cats.
Traveling across the desert, they are brought to a house by the smell of food, and are invited inside by a man. They are fed, and when full the man attempts to turn them into soup, attacking them with a pair of scissors. He ends up falling into the cauldron, Nyatta cuts him into pieces with the scissors and the cats escape. Wandering further across the desert dehydrated, Nyatta digs and finds an elephant made of water, which cools them off and travels with them, though the elephant eventually evaporates from the heat. God accidentally stops the flow of time and disrupts space, and the cats play with the time-frozen scenes. Father Time turns time back on, shooting it forward and reversing it, showing various scenes of random events either rapidly going forth in time or back. Eventually the cats find themselves back on their boat in the ocean. They drift into a marsh of metallic plants and creatures, coming across the flower they were seeking. Nyatta places the flower on Nyākos face, which restores her to normal. Together, they go back home.
In the end, the entire family of cats are gathered in their house leisurely watching TV. Nyatta leaves them to visit the toilet, and while he is gone, the other family members disappear one by one into thin air. The show on the TV also disappears, leaving only a flashing screen behind. Nyatta returns to find everyone gone. Outside the nearby lamppost extinguishes leaving the house in darkness. Finally the movie also "turns off", leaving behind a flashing screen of static before the credits roll.
The characters of Nyāko and Nyatta first appeared in the June 1990 issue of the monthly manga magazine Garo. They also appeared in a series of 27 two-minute television episodes, collectively titled Nekojiru Gekijō (ねこぢる劇場, Nekojiru Theatre). The series appeared in 1999 as a segment on TV Asahi's Bakushō-Mondai no Boss-Kyara-Ō (爆笑問題のボスキャラ王).
Nekojiru (the artist) was born on January 19, 1967 and died by suicide on May 10, 1998.[2][3] Her actual name was Chiyomi Hashiguchi (橋口 千代美, Hashiguchi Chiyomi, née Nakayama (中山)).
Cat Soup won an Excellence Prize (Animation Division) at the 2001 Japan Media Arts Festival,[4] the "Best Short Film" award at the 2001 Fantasia Festival and the Silver Award for Animation 2003 New York Exposition of Short Film and Video.[5]

This has got to be a record for me--three posts in one day!!
I went to Akron with hostess gifts for my two great roomies: Sherry and Shelly. They were awesome to room with. Not only are they fun to hang with--but they have GREAT taste in beverages!!! (both cold and hot)
Here is what I brought with me for Shelly (who also drove me over half the way):
It is a remote control holder from Hobby Lobby that I altered. BIG fun!!
And for Sherry:
Perhaps Sherry doesn't have any personality without caffeine--seems really unlikely--but we will NEVER know!! (hee hee)
Thanks again, for stopping by!

A look back at what was happening around here in February 2006.
Ah, the good old days when it snowed every winter. . . our February 2006 cover showed a scenic Alvechurch centre, snapped from the office window.
Campaigners were urging as many people as possible to attend the public inquiry into plans for an animal rendering plant at Mayfield Farm in Hopwood, after almost 1,000 letters of objection were received by county council officials.
Elsewhere, our What's On section revealed that music mogul Pete Waterman would be giving a talk at St Bartholomew's Church, Tardebigge.
* The Ark at St Laurence Church, Alvechurch, was now opening as a café every Thursday, offering coffee and cake in the morning and a full lunch menu served by volunteers.
Organisers intended to use local produce and support Fairtrade, and the inaugural lunch (right) was enjoyed by many villagers.
* Hopwood women Debbie Weston and Sue Perry had founded a new cycling club called Geared-Up Girls, offering a friendly, non-competitive environment to women who lacked the confidence to ride alone or needed to fit cycling around family commitments.

WHAKATANE, New Zealand (AP) - A New Zealand island volcano is venting more steam and mud after a deadly eruption two days ago.
The increased geothermal activity is delaying the recovery of victims' bodies believed to remain on the ash-covered island.
The GeoNet seismic monitoring agency says volcanic tremors on White Island rose in the morning, accompanied by releases of more steam and mud.
It said the activity was a sign of high gas pressure and the volcano's possible future activity was uncertain.
Six deaths have been confirmed from Monday's eruption. Thirty people remain hospitalized, with many of them suffering severe burns.

Tehran: The US new sanctions against top Iranian officials signify Washington's "disrespect" for international law, Tehran's Ambassador to the UN was quoted as saying by Iran's state TV on Tuesday."The US decision to impose more sanctions against Iran is another indication that American does not attach any respect to the international laws and the prevailing international opinion," Majid Takht Ravanchi said in New York.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order for sanctions targeting Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his office and those closely affiliated with him, Xinhua news agency reported. Washington also announced that Iran's Foreign Minister is in the US' upcoming list of sanctions. In the meantime, Trump said that he is open for dialogue with Iran without preconditions.
Ravanchi, however, dismissed the US' calls for dialogue, saying that "no one in clear mind can have a dialogue with somebody who is threatening you with sanctions".The US must stop "its economic warfare and terrorism against the Iranian people", he added.The new sanctions by the US on Monday come in the wake of downing of an American drone by Iran last week. Iran said the drone had violated its airspace, which the US has denied.

Seen and Unseen Benefits of using a Air Frier
Traditional cooking culminates in the best and tasty food, but there is always one question that lingers in your mind—is the food healthy? With the increase in the number of diabetes and heart related diseases, traditional cooking methods have come under the scanner. Deep frying of food items would give you the best taste, but along with that it would also give you unwanted substances that may harm your body. Short term gains of traditional cooking are good taste and aroma, but the long term drawbacks can have a severe toll on the body.
Kitchen experts have been striving hard to come up with innovative cooking methods and equipment that will make healthy food. In the recent years, the air frier has gained a lot of popularity as an alternative to deep frying. What is this air frier? What is the technology used? Does it really fry without oil? What are the benefits of air fryer? These are some of the questions that ponder in the minds of people who hear about the air frier for the first time.
Cooking Fish or Chicken Without Oil
The air frier is a simple concept in which food is cooked with the help of very hot air. Can you imagine cooking fish or chicken without oil—surely not—but here is an innovative device that can cook food without oil. The main use of oil in cooking is to attain a certain high temperature. With very hot air, that temperature is attained—so oil is not needed at all. What about the taste? Well, if you try out the air fried food, you will not make out the difference. Wouldn't it food feel very dry? Yes, to an extent—however; a spoon full of oil can be added to attain the authentic oily taste.
Retains Essential Nutrients of the Food
Wow! This is surely a fantastic way of cooking, but what about the nutrients? Will air frying retain the nutrients of the food? Yes, it will. When you look at some popular brands of air friers, you will find that most of them will emphasize on the nutrition retention facts of their air friers. Several tests have been done on the foods that have come out of the air friers and all of them are positive that the nutrients are not lost during cooking.
Reduce the Cholesterol Intake
The biggest benefit of the air frier is on the cholesterol front. With deep frying there is a high chance of increasing the cholesterol levels in the body. Oils that are rich in bad cholesterol may add very good taste to the food, but in the long run they can have a negative impact on the body. With air friers there is no oil at all—so there is no chance of cholesterol intake and build-up. With the air frier, the homemaker can build a healthy home that will help in building a positive atmosphere.
Cooking in Air Frier is Less Messy
Cooking in the air frier is less messy as there is no oil being used in the cooking. All you need is to put the ingredients in the tray and insert into the appliance. In just a few minutes, delicious and healthy food will be waiting for you.

From his bed at North Colorado Medical Center, John Wolf of Greeley took a trip to Hawaii.
He flipped past TV shows that lure viewers with noisy car chases and screaming family members and journeyed to the beautiful island he first saw as a Navy sailor stationed at Pearl Harbor during World War II.
Video of the deep blue ocean and soft classical music helped him to relax.
Amid the beep, beep, beep of hospital equipment, NCMC is hoping to offer patients something more soothing than some of the shows found on television.
Starting last week, patients who tuned to Channel 16 found nature scenes of wildflowers, oceans, mountains and waterfalls set to music of woodwinds and the harp.
Reno-based Healing HealthCare Systems produces the CARE Channel, which about 150 hospitals nationwide use. NCMC's chaplaincy program brought the program, which runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to Greeley.
"For people in the hospital, one thing they need is to shut out noise and distractions," said volunteer chaplain Keith Merriman, who coordinated the effort to get the CARE Channel. "Prayer and relaxing music and visuals help in the healing process."
Susan Mazer and Dallas Smith founded Healing Healthcare Systems. Trained as classical musicians, the husband and wife team spent two decades as full-time performing musicians. In 1984, they started learning about the benefits of music in health care.
They developed the CARE – Continuous Ambient Relaxation Environment – Channel in 1992 in a videotape format. Since June 2001, the program is available in a digital format, broadcast from a hard drive.
The NCMC Foundation, the hospital's charitable arm, paid the $13,000 to buy the hardware and software and the chaplaincy will pay the $185 monthly subscription fee.
The channel works with other efforts, such as aquariums on several floors and a player piano in the central lobby, to make the hospital feel less sterile and institutional.
Less like a hospital.
"The idea is to transform the hospital into a healing environment," Senior Chaplain Rolf Brende said.
"This is what I like about NCMC. We are transforming the environment so everything is more restful."
Though TV sets are not capable of defaulting to a particular channel when a patient clicks it on, the chaplaincy is asking cleaning staff to set the TV to Channel 16 after a patient checks outs.
McKee Medical Center starting using the CARE Channel several years ago.
The Rev. Bruce Rippe, McKee's chaplain, tells of a time when the system was down for a switch from VHS to digital format.
"The next week CNAs (certified nursing assistants) and nurses were stopping me asking me where the CARE Channel was," he said. "I know at that point it was working."
Rippe said he has plenty of anecdotal evidence that relaxing music helps patients, especially those in serious pain, heal.
The idea isn't bogus.
The American Music Therapy Association is dedicated to the idea.
"It can make the difference between withdrawal and awareness, between isolation and interaction, between chronic pain and comfort – between demoralization and dignity," said past NAMT president Barbara Crowe on the group's Web site.
Windsor resident Tracy Rodgers, a music therapist, said music that is familiar to the listener can divert their attention away from the pain.
Darlene Kirby is not a TV watcher.
But the Kansas resident watched the CARE Channel as she sat with her friend who was hospitalized at NCMC.
She likened the program to a timeout for relaxation.
"I like the pictures. The rivers and waterfalls. It's calming," she said. "I told him we need to take a trip to somewhere like that."

During the war, professional baseball for women began as a way for baseball team owners to keep some income coming in while many of their brightest stars were involved in the war.
Here is the link for the real website for the league: http://www.aagpbl.org/ It is fascinating!
Here is an overview of the League: http://www.seanlahman.com/baseball-archive/womens-baseball/
Here is a clip from A League of Their Own, in which director Penny Marshall tells the story of the League from a historical fiction viewpoint. The older ladies at the beginning of this clip were actual players in the League and were playing on the field at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown New York. A permanent exhibit on women in baseball has been in place there since 1988 and is depicted at the end of the film.

SharePoint Intermittent 403 Forbidden Errors
I recently encountered intermittent 403 Forbidden errors on a Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) site. Most of the site would work, but when users accessed certain functions such as uploading a document or adding calendar items, they would receive a 403 forbidden error. The problem appeared to be intermittent, however I was able to identify a pattern to the behavior. If an administrator accessed the feature that caused the error, subsequent requests from non-administrators would succeed. This behavior is typically associated with lack of permissions to the temporary folder where Asp.Net assemblies are Just In Time compiled. To troubleshoot the issue, I used the filemon utility.
Filemon identified that the w3wp.exe was attempting to access the /bin directory in the context of the requesting user account through impersonation.
A quick check of the bin directory permissions revealed only administrators could access the bin directory, so the solution is to add server\users Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read permissions.

Product Description in Amazon (UK):
'Who Killed Nanna Birk Larsen? Head of investigations, Sarah Lund, is about to emigrate to Sweden, but as the tied-up body of a missing girl is found her plans are put on hold. In the course of 20 gripping episodes, each chronicling a day in the investigation, Copenhagen's secrets, corruption and power struggles emerge as the hunt for the killer intensifies and the truth becomes ever harder to find. This riveting Emmy-nominated thriller is one of the finest murder investigation series ever produced.'
This is the first TV series that I shall be reviewing and before I go on, I have to mention certain things. I'm no big fan of watching videos on computer and I seldom watch a series, in fact, Forbrydelsen is only the third I've watched, the other two being Yes Minister and Borgen and in fact, I stumbled upon Forbrydelsen when I read that Borgen was broadcast in the UK following the success of Forbrydelsen which was also done by the same producer (DR). So, my review would not be like the conventional sitcom reviews, since till date, I don't know what exactly is 'good acting'. I can pick out if an actor's performance is bad but I've never been able to pick out the good performer. Besides that, some talk good editing, screenplay, etcetera but I have never understood what the film critics exactly mean by that. So, this won't be any different from my other reviews, I shall not say a word about the technical aspects of a film, such as acting but treat this as any other crime story as though it were a book (I've felt that Forbrydelsen would have been much better had it been a book).
Coming to the review, Forbrydelsen, translates to 'The Crime' in Danish; though it is known as 'The Killing' in the English speaking world (I shall be referring to the series only as Forbrydelsen throughout my review since I don't see any reason to anglicise the title). It is a Danish TV series, with 20 episodes of one hour each, starring Sofie Gråbøl as Sarah Lund and Søren Malling as Jan Meyer and the story takes place in Copenhagen.
Sofie Gråbøl as Sarah Lund
Sarah Lund is a Detective Inspector and is about to move to Sweden with her boyfriend Bengt Rosling. However, on her last day in Denmark, Nanna Birk Larsen, a nineteen year old student is murdered. Her body was found inside the boot of a car which was taken out from a canal near the woods. Incidentally, the car belonged to Troels Hartmann, a local politician, running for the mayor post and elections were just three weeks away. The case thus had a severe impact on the election campaign and also on the Birk Larsen family. Sarah Lund's departure to Sweden is postponed by a week since her chief didn't want this case to be her replacement, Jan Meyer's first case and Lund, throughout the case, is assisted by Meyer.
The series had a perfect mix, politics and crime and the person did a good job in focussing the story from all the three angles, the police and sometimes, the personal life of Lund and Meyer, Troels Hartmann and his associates and also the Birk Larsen family. Also, the investigations were brilliant along with the twists and turns; the viewer can't really trust anyone and nearly every suspect has some reason to hide certain information from the police and especially after the 5th or 6th episode, I became a little desperate to know who did it and the interest remained till the end. Another good thing was that the attention was mostly only on the Nanna case and even the sub-plot, that is the upcoming election, is related to to the story as the case has a say on the outcome of the election, with Hartmann being one of the suspects. However, I felt that the scenes involving the Birk Larsen family were at times boring and I felt that the police too, harassed the people involved in the case including the family suffering from bereavement and occasionally they were also being a little stupid. Not just that, several deaths of the people related to the case, during the course of the story, was rather unnecessary and I think it was done just to prolong the series.
Ignoring those rather insignificant details, I was really disappointed with one aspect of it, the end. I've always said in my previous reviews that a crime novel, regardless of the quality of the investigations and the interest it generates, without a proper end, the whole thing is rather meaningless. So, that would apply to any other crime story as well and unfortunately, Forbrydelsen too falls a victim to that. It is the best crime story that I've witnessed so far, although, only till the 19th episode and the last one just took a lousy turn of events leaving not just a few, but too many questions unanswered leading to loose ends, which isn't something too positive, especially for a crime story.
Despite the disappointment, I shan't refuse the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed it (till the 19th episode as aforesaid). The reason why I don't watch too many sitcoms or films on my computer is because I've always felt that there are several better things to do in a computer and even when I've tried watching some films, I cut it short and to complete the story, I just read the Wikipedia plot summary. Despite this personal constraint, Forbrydelsen managed to defeat my personality, keeping me interested in the show, every minute of it and after the end of each episode, I was really desperate to know what happens in the next episode. In fact, I watched the last seven episodes almost at a stretch, approximately amounting to six and a half hours. The ending was unfortunate and I really have high hopes for the second season which I shall soon be watching.
So far, in no review of mine have I rated a crime novel without a fitting end above four but in consideration for Forbrydelsen having everything else except a proper end, I'd give it a five.
Rating: 5/10
Have a nice day,

Families tried also the awakening of the Kundalini energy felt above the crown chakra
With continual dedication to our mother earth, it was with great love and appreciation the Halton-Niagara collective would be continuing its tradition of hosting a booth at the 2014 Eco Festival at the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre in Oakville on April 5th. Sahaja yogis from across Halton helped complete the set up of our booth the evening before the free, one-day festival, and we had lots of chairs placed about to give Sahaja Yoga workshops to visitors for providing protection of their chakras and to also raise their Kundalini energy.
Fellow exhibitioners also came by to find out more about Sahaja Yoga and to receive a workshop. In the tradition of becoming our own guru, Sahaja yogis connected with other exhibitioners and discovered more about Eco-spirituality and the sacred balance between us and mother earth; an important part of the oneness we all share.
We had many visitors to the booth, including family members who received a workshop at the same time, side-by-side. It was very positive to see the sons & daughters encouraging their parents to join in. Such is the spiritual awakening that is happening in our young people these days. We provided lots of information to visitors about what Sahaja Yoga was all about, and invited them to attend one of our weekly meditation classes. It was simply a great day for everyone involved at the Eco-Festival, and the Halton-Niagara collective reached out to so many people with the possibility of each and every one of them achieving their self-realization.
Sincerely, Stephen
Our conclusion after participating to Halton Eco festival 2014: "Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone of any age!"

Ce bucurie ca continuati cu ziua pacii.Jai Shri Mataji!
How sweet to see the young children meditating. I would dearly like to bring my 9 year old granddaughter to learn to meditate. She is a special child and my friends and I became aware of that early on.
In Sr. kindergarten she would bring children who were alone into the group of friends she had. In Grade 1 there were handicapped kids and she also would go to them and befriend them. This continued into Grade 3 where there was an autistic child. Parents of these kids were grateful. Grade 3 teacher commented on her compassion.
I know she would benefit from meditation and being with like minded gentle children. I do hope later on that I can bring her (and her 5 year old sister). Thanks to Ioana for organizing this children's group.
This is so wonderful such events are including the children as well. They definelty can benefit from regular meditation at home and school. Thanks for making these available for children in the community.
It's always amazing to see children been peaceful, still and enjoying meditation! It was a great day with lots of visitors who are concerned about the Mother Earth and interested to be "connected" with the mother earth through meditation :))
Wonderful article Steven.

Subject: Writing
What are some effective ways to begin an essay?
When it comes to writing, getting started is often the hardest part. If you're writing an essay and looking for an effective first line that will hook your readers, here are some common techniques: 1) Ask a question. For example: "Is it morally acceptable for a private employer to refuse to hire someone because of his or her political beliefs?' 2) Cite a fact. For example: "United States voter turnout for presidential elections for the past century has ranged from about 50 percent to 60 percent." 3) Use a quotation. For example: "In a commencement speech at Oberlin College in 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 'The time is always right to do what is right.'" 4) Recall a personal experience. For example: "I'll never forget the first time I drove a car by myself." 5) Refer to popular concept or statement. For example: "It is often said that you can take the dog out of the fight, but you can't take the fight out of the dog."
Subject: English
What is a run-on sentence? (Hint: It's not just a very long sentence.)
The formal answer is that a run-on sentence contains two or more independent clauses that are not properly connected using some type of punctuation. The less-formal answer is that it's a sentence that is missing either commas or semicolons, or maybe both. For example, this is a run-on sentence: INCORRECT: "We missed the last train leaving Berlin we won't be able to meet you in Paris tomorrow." There are several ways to correct this sentence. You can add a semicolon: CORRECT: "We missed the last train leaving Berlin; we won't be able to meet you in Paris tomorrow." You can divide it into two separate sentences: CORRECT: "We missed the last train leaving Berlin. We won't be able to meet you in Paris tomorrow." Or, you can add a comma and the word "so": CORRECT: "We missed the last train leaving Berlin, so we won't be able to meet you in Paris tomorrow."

There is no getting around that. Five people can look at the same thing and you will get 5 different reactions.
I have always considered myself a fairly attractive female. I know my strengths and weaknesses. I've never suffered from self esteem issues all though Taylor Dayne a singer/song writer in the late 80's and early 90's ("tell it to my heart") had me trying all sorts of lipsticks and rollers because I was obsessed with the fullness of her "look" till I snapped out if it and said "hello Mari, you're Spanish she is White. You have different features and texture".
I've never fully put focus on another woman to then beat myself up about not measuring up. Instead I've looked and admired and tweaked to fit me.
I've talked about my hair several times on my page and about my daughter's and I've said that if we didn't work with what we have our lives would not be stress free.
I feel the same way about so called beauty products.
I ran into 2 blog posts this week and the amount of products these ladies were using on their face to either clean, stay youthful or enhance was unreal.
One of them shared a picture with what had to be at least 11 different lotions, serums etc...
I am not sharing their info that would be way too rude.
But shortly after I read them I thought about my own routine.
This is my share. This is what I use at age 43. These are my tips and tricks.
First, I will STRESS less is more. If you are piling stuff on your face you are NOT going to look youthful.
Second, work with what you have lean towards natural. If you are going to add make sure it enhances what you already have not that you will walk around like a crazy clown.
Third, foundation is your friend ONLY if you are using the right shade for you and on your face not your collar or your significant others shirt or blouse.
My mother was a Mary Kay Consultant and also sold Avon during my teenage, early adult years.
I loved watching the parties she would host and all the goodies that were available BUT I wasn't sucked in and always stuck to 2 products...Mascara and Eyeliner.
Yes I've tried it all eye shadows, lip liners, rouge, foundation, blush you name it I have tried it but I always came back to my 2 tools. I should make clear that though I had access to all this makeup I really didnt care to use my two tools till after the age of 18, I didn't want to waste my morning time putting on makeup. My house rules for my daughter was 16 and in moderation and she didn't and still doesn't go past lipstick if that.
Simple and easy to maintain.
Who wants to invest time "putting on their face" before dropping the kids off at school? I don't.
Who wants to mistreat their face with all the tugging and wiping to get the makeup off? Not me.
Who wants to have a quickie with their sweetie and when your done your face is down your chin? Ummmm, not me!
I'm going to picture share what is in my makeup drawer and what I use to take care of my face.
Also what I use to care for my hair.
I want to shout out the follow products in no particular order and this is my own opinion no one paid me to use their stuff, it's just great and worth the money.
-oatmeal, any brand will do
-baking soda, any brand will do
-wash towels
-head wraps
-mascara, any brand the more the merrier
-eyelash curler
-eyebrow brush and gel (optional)
-eyelash comb/wand
-eyeliner, a variety so you can try different looks
-Eos lip balms
-blistex lip balm (you don't have to have blister issues, it's just great for your lips and compact)
-cvs brand extreme hold gel
-göt 2b hair products
-Queen Helene pink styling gel
-raw honey
-coconut oil
-luke warm water
I only use mascara and eyeliner as I commented and I wash my face with oatmeal 2x's a day. I make a paste out of a small amount. I also leave it on as a mask twice a week for 20 minutes.
Sticking to DIY home remedies and natural products has changed how my face feels and the breakouts I experience.
Less is more on my hair has helped with dryness, damage and split ends. After all when I go to the Salon I am under the drier for more than an hour, plus blower afterwards and then the flat iron.
That is a lot of heat so I must be kind to my hair on my off days.
When I decide to leave it curly I use Queen Helene and when I go slick back and crisp I use the glue gels to keep the little hairs down.
If you look at some past posts on hair you will see I've gone from long to short and now growing back for second round of donation again. Its past my chin now so we are coming along.
Feel free to ask me specific questions if you wish. Now tell me what is in your tool bag for your natural beauty routine? Care to share a DIY body, hair or face scrub recipe?
Always stress free xo.

Are We Too Casual About Our Friendships?
When I talk to people about personal relationships, their minds automatically drift to the romantic.
Maybe it's because we are full of expectations about how our ideal mate will be. We (hopefully) hold new candidates to those high standards, truly investing only in the most prime of prospects who have earned our trust and respect.
We don't get into a relationship with everyone we date. We don't date everyone we meet. And when the chemistry isn't there, the values don't line up, or when we can no longer stand to negotiate what to watch on Netflix, we find a way to say goodbye and move on to the next.
Why don't we adopt some of these same practices for the people we befriend? Why do so many young people neglect to protect their hearts and their sanity from the other kind of personal relationship — friendships — when they can cause just as much heartache or damage?
I think more people should apply the rules of dating to their friendships. We shouldn't accept behavior from a friend that would warrant a swift breakup with a significant other. For me, I'd never continue to date someone who continually ditched on our plans, but I know I've held on to friends who left me hanging more times than I can count.
Fortunately we aren't limited to just one friendship, but we have to stop treating the majority of people like they are a good enough match to enter the inner circle of our lives. When it's just not working out, we need a way to let go and move on.
The real problem here is that there is no protocol for ending a non-romantic relationship. There seem to be two wholly inadequate options: burn your bridges, or just phase them out. Instead of risking the drama of either of those, I know I have given away way too many second (and third, and fourth, and hundredth) chances over the years.
But in order to live the life we want, we have to be brave and let go of the things that don't help us rise to happiness, success and peace. It's a lesson I've learned countless times in my romantic life, and I am more than guilty of avoiding the lesson with my friends. But is it really that different? I'd like to argue that it isn't.
As I toughen up and continue the process of turning into the person I want to be, I know that doling out a million second chances isn't the smartest way to protect my heart or the investment I want to make in all of my personal relationships. Maybe it's time to stop casually dating the friends that just aren't right for us.

Here is a build of Pale Moon 26.1.1 for AOSC OS (can be obtained from https://aosc.io), with no change to source code except for a replaced loading.png (or else it won't "rotate" with libpng 1.5+). This is a distribution build, with the following "features", if you may.
- Tuned for Core 2 processors, and enabled SSE3 optimizations;
- Bundled with all i18n packs (and with aid of an simple vendor.js, it can change language according to system language settings;
- Hardened (fortified source, full relro, no rpath, etc. However PIE is not enabled just yet);
https://github.com/AOSC-Dev/aosc-os-abb ... b/palemoon
(The package is built according to
Being in the "staging" branch means that it will not be provided in the repository at the moment (but for review purpose, I have uploaded the binary in .deb package to a separate directory on our server). The binary (for testing and review purpose) can be obtained here.
I would really want to provide this with its official branding to our users, and I will be more than happy to make any changes for it to meet the standard of a recognized 3rd party build.
Future plans about this package and its support:
- Enabling PIE once we can sort out an official "hardened" GCC spec;
- Provide AppData XML for the package so it's easier for users to install the browser in a graphical software manager like GNOME Software;
- When necessary, we will be able to contribute to zh_CN and zh_TW translations;
