Myanmar’s military coup: Pro-democracy protests continue depsite bloody crackdown

Myanmar is reeling after its bloodiest day yet in the wake of the latest military coup. But what will this mean going forward for the people who still take to the streets to call for the reinstatement of civilian rule? At least 18 killed in the bloodiest day yet. A day later the people are still protesting. The people are still resisting inspite of the fact the army is willing to fire live bullets at them in the capital city of Yangon. 

Meanwhile Aung San Suu Kyu, the de facto president, arrested by the military on February 1st, for alleged rigging of the election in November that she won by a landslide, appeared in court again via video link. She still has not been seen publicly since her arrrest.

California-based plumbers bring aid to San Antonio

One of these master plumbers is a San Diego coffee shop owner, David Chaddick. He organized a GoFundMe to purchase plumbing supplies that are already out of stock at most hardware stores in the area.

Chaddick, along with a team of experts, loaded their U-Haul and made their way down I-10, straight to San Antonio, to assist in the winter storm relief efforts on the West Side.

Families have utilized Chaddick and his crew for much-needed home repairs over the weekend. His team completely rebuilt a wheelchair ramp for West Side resident Yolanda Villareal and her husband, which is just one example of the work the team has taken on so far.

Chaddick and others are slated to return to the West Coast this week, but will leave knowing they made a difference for many San Antonians.

What are the 3 types of dictatorships?

Between the two world wars, three types of dictatorships have been described: constitutional, counterrevolutionary and fascist. Since World War II, a broader range of dictatorships has been recognized, including Third World dictatorships, theocratic or religious dictatorships and dynastic or family-based dictatorships.

Characteristics. Authoritarianism is characterized by highly concentrated and centralized government power maintained by political repression and the exclusion of potential challengers. It uses political parties and mass organizations to mobilize people around the goals of the regime.

Dictatorships are often characterised by some of the following: suspension of elections and civil liberties; proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents; not abiding by the rule of law procedures, and cult of personality.

…what profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul…

Triangle Writes...

you believed a man could not have a descent life
and can’t pull himself out of his poverty
being poor and one of the millions of the needy
is to live a life that’s simple and happy

you spoke he’s a weak and fragile person
no muscles and can’t bend bars of iron
but he can secure a brighter future
he’s honest and upright with mind so mature

you dared and derided his being
considered him as meek and mean
but what profits a man if he gains the whole world

but loses his own soul
the right relationship with Christ

is all that he should own …

Oats-Honey-Almond-Coconut oil – Pumpkin seeds – Sunflower seeds

Need I say more?

Healthy, Crunchy, Tasty,

This granola is easy and
quick to make, comes under 30 mins including the bake time. I love some easy to
pour and eat kind of breakfast but just not the cereal. Its not a surprise that
we have absolutely no cereal boxes in my home. Cereal never sticked with us
except when we are at a hotel in our vacation. So, when I want healthy breakfast
which is like ‘Make Once-Eat Twice(or many)’ I go for this easy one and change
up the addins depending on my mood and pantry availability.

  • How sweet – your pick
  • Add-ins – your pick
  • Chunky or crispy – your pick
  • Choice of Nuts – your pick

You can also mix and match the sweetener…

Nedir iyilik? 🧚‍♀️

However, when you cleanse yourself of selfish desires (selfish desire, means the desire that harms others), when your being becomes pure, when your being starts to shine, you also bring peace to the environment you are in … Your being will be a gift as if … Maybe what one feels will only be peace when standing next to you …

As a result, I think what they call mindfullness, that is, being open, non-judgmental and friendly, being in the field of giving are the best states of goodness… When it comes to giving, it’s not just giving money; giving attention, giving time and effort, sharing, listening from the heart, bonding from the heart are the best areas of goodness, glorifying existence …

iyilik nedir 💫

Son günlerde düşünüyorum nedir iyilik diye… İzlediğim bir tartışma programında iyiliğin göreceli bir kavram olduğu söylendi, farklı meslek gruplarındaki katılımcılar farklı tanımlamalar yaptılar ancak iyiliğin bir başkasına zarar vermemek olduğu konusunda mutabık oldular…

İyilik denince belki en başta bizim aklımıza, ihtiyacı olan birilerine maddi yardım etmek gelebiliyor, özellikle de sosyoekonomik durumu bizden düşük olanlara…

Bu arada bilgi aktarımı, deneyim aktarımı da bir iyilikmiş, paylaşmak yani… Beyin endorfin ve dopamin salgıladığı için iyi hissediliyormuş.

İyilik zarar vermeme haliyse, o zaman insanın kendini duygusal olarak bütün hissetmesi, kendini tanıması gerçekten önem kazanıyor… Kendini tanıdığın zaman; kendi inanç kodlarını, zaaflarını, huysuzluklarını görüp kabul edebildiğinde; kendi öfkeni, korkularını, kaygılarını farkedip, kabul edebildiğin zaman, başkalarını da anlaman ve kabullenmen kolaylaşıyor… İşte belki o zaman yargılamalar azalıyor… Kendine şefkat ve anlayış gösterebildiğinde, sevecen davranabildiğinde, etrafindakilere de bu tavrı göstermen çok daha kolay bir hal alıyor… Bir de şöyle bir gerçek var; sen kendine…
