THE CHESS MINDSET

Fire of Moods

Chess is a game of strategy, patience and perseverance. It is a game that demands you to think ahead, anticipate your opponent’s actions and stay one step ahead.

In life, we face many challenges that require the same kind of strategy, patience and perseverance. We must carefully plan our moves, anticipating the obstacles and prospects that lie ahead. And just like in chess, we must be willing to make sacrifices to accomplish our goals.

But conceivably, the most substantial lesson chess can teach us is the power of resilience. In chess, just like in life, we will inevitably face setbacks and disappointments. We will make mistakes, we will encounter hindrances and sometimes we will feel like giving up.

But the real mark of a great player, and a successful person in general, is the ability to bounce back from those failures, learn from our errors, and keep driving toward our…

Inoreader – Frustration Still Abounds in East Palestine

We also have learned that dozens of residents have urine samples testing positive for vinyl chloride and benzene. You can watch resident Shelby Walker, who lives only 900 feet from the disaster, discuss her concerns surrounding her health here. Long-term exposure to high levels of benzene in the air can cause leukemia. But at this point, doctors don’t have protocols for how to get these chemicals out of her system.

‘Security forces will put a stop to it’ Meduza’s sources say the Kremlin is losing patience with Evgeny Prigozhin’s outbursts — Meduza

Meduza’s sources close to the Putin administration said Prigozhin’s behavior may be linked to a “personal promise” he made to Vladimir Putin that Wagner Group would capture Bakhmut by a certain date. The sources don’t know exactly when this date would be, but they speculated that Prigozhin might be “missing the deadline” and is nervous as a result. The Ukrainian military previously reported that pro-Russian forces hoped to take control of Bakhmut by May 9 (which they failed to do).

♫ Celebration ♫ (A Timely Redux)

Filosofa's Word

After playing The Byrds’ Eight Miles High yesterday, I was planning to treat myself to some Stevie Wonder tonight … ahhhh … the velvet voice of Stevie …  But then, when I posted yesterday afternoon’s good news that the jury had found in favour of E. Jean Carroll in her lawsuit against one Donald Trump, rawgod commented with this song, and … it couldn’t have been more perfect for the moment.  Not only that, but now I’ve had it stuck in my head all night long … (hmmmm … all night long … Lionel Richie … dancing on the ceiling???).


This song was released in 1980 by Kool and the Gang, and was their only #1 hit in the U.S.  “Kool” is Robert Bell, and “The (original) Gang” consisted of his brother Ronald, Dennis “D.T.” Thomas, Robert “Spike” Mickens, Charles Smith, George Brown, and Ricky West.  Formed in 1964…
