Camp MacKall & the 11th Airborne Division are born | Pacific Paratrooper

The original idea for an American airborne came from Gen. Billy Mitchell in 1918.  His  commander, Gen. Pershing agreed, but once the WWI Armistice was signed, the plan was terminated.  In the late 1920’s, Germany began training parachute units and in the 1930’s, and they led the world in gliders.  Russia created the Air Landing Corps in 1935.  Japan started in 1940 with German instructors.  The U.S. did not take note until Germany was successful on Crete in 1941…

Direito – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Direito é direito, ponto”. Se numa sociedade como a nossa, onde predomina resquícios do machismo, e o direito feminino é constantemente colocado em xeque, é porque se percebe claramente, a ausência de reconhecimento em parte, desses direitos. Veja, se uma mulher tem que lutar e a depender da situação, –  morrer para fazer jus aquilo que Constitucionalmente lhe é garantido, como temos inúmeros exemplos, que poderiam ser citados aqui. Nota-se neste caso, por sinal de forma clara, que muita coisa reflete a desarmonia entre o que é escrito e o que o homem respeita.

World Class Traveler? 🧳🌍 | From Behind the Pen

Image Credit: Vlada Karpovich

Many people want to travel the world to visit the awesome wonders the world has to offer. For many, it’s as simple as spinning a globe and letting your fingers land on a destination, then begin making your travel plans.

When I first walked a labyrinth, it was located on the property of a man who made it. While talking to him, as we were surrounded by a few of his Saluki hounds, he expressed how he encouraged his daughter to travel the world because she wanted to take a gap year before going to college. Wonderful idea, but how many high schoolers are prepared to indulge in such an opportunity?

Many people on the flipside, are not financially able to travel around the world, and some people can’t because they are physically incapable of taking extended trips. When I witnessed the heartbreak of these individuals who felt they would never be able to afford to leave the town where they lived or the facility they may be living in, I gave it some thought, because currently, I am curbing my travels to certain destinations right now due to safety concerns. Yet, I am not totally bumbed out about that because it is possible to travel around the world and never purchase a plane or train ticket to get there. Think outside the zone creatively.

There are ways of visiting other countries and getting paid for it like teaching ‘your’ language in another language, becoming a tour guide, or working for an airline, cruiseliner, travel agency, or transportation company. But have you thought about the opportunity of traveling in your area, country, state, city, or town and learn what it’s like to look at your area through the eyes of a tourist? Oh honey, let’s talk!

Here’s a handy little guide I found on Going™  if you are unable to travel for whatever reasons, but want to incorporate travel into your life even when you have to stay put and your money is looking funny while telling jokes at the same time. If you’re unable to click on the site above, try to copy/paste this link: https://www.going.com/guides/how-to-keep-travel-in-your-life-when-you-cant-travel.

I think you will definitely find some creative ideas to choose from as you scan this list. Also, why not make your own oversized Passport and stamp your various destinations on the pages yourself? Or make your own travel scrapbook or travel journal and have fun with it. You don’t have to be limited, even if you are restricted in mobility. I’ve got my binoculars in one hand while exploring my world with a camera in the other. Cheers to great adventures y’all!

Strengthening inner values – Silent Songs of Sonsnow

“We need to strengthen such inner values as contentment, patience and tolerance, as well as compassion for others. Keeping in mind that it is expressions of affection rather than money and power that attract real friends, compassion is the key to ensuring our own well-being.”

His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama

GOP MAGAs Support of Russia Over Ukraine Is Counter to US National Security Interests – Gronda Morin

GOP MAGA ex-president’s support of Russia over Ukraine is alarming. This alignment is not in the best interest of US national security interests. Those who study history know that if Russia’s President Vladimir Putin succeeds in invading and annexing Ukraine, like other authoritarian-Fascist leaders, he won’t stop there. He’ll continue to overrun countries that were part of Soviet Union before 1991which followed the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

Time – Anonymously Hal

I hate time. I wish it would stop. 

I wish time would pause, take a break, and forget to restart. 

I wish that the hands on the clock would inexplicably stop ticking their way through moments that will never come back and that the squares on every calendar were occupied with events that would never occur. 

I wish that the future didn't exist so that my days with you were countless. 

I wish that time would simply stop so that my life with you was endless.

From the horse’s mouth.

Those of us who have been spreading the alarm about Project 2025 have been accused of being “fearmongers”.

Well, listen to one of the architects of it.

Once again…..

2024 is about Democracy vs. Fascism.

Equoterapia – Um alternativa terapêutica para pessoas com autismo e outras deficiências – Expansão & Percepção

A equoterapia, também conhecida como hipoterapia, teve origem na Grécia Antiga, onde os benefícios terapêuticos dos cavalos já eram reconhecidos e utilizados no tratamento de diversas condições de saúde.

No entanto, foi somente a partir da década de 1960, na Europa, que a equoterapia foi estruturada como um método terapêutico formal, especialmente para pessoas com deficiências físicas e cognitivas…
