Van Gogh

NANMYKEL.COM

In December, 1888,  while with Paul Gaughin, Van Gogh’s left ear was cut off.

Image:  Vincent Van Gogh with his bandaged left ear missing.  What?  The bandage is over his right ear!  But it’s a self portrait and he was looking in the mirror, I guess… The artistic genius was a troubled man….

Vincent Vab Gogh’s Biography:  Mental Health   Source:   Hundreds of physicians and psychiatrists have tried to define Van Gogh’s medical conditions over the years. The following are some of the more probable mental and physical diagnoses.

Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Van Gogh suffered from seizures which doctors, including Dr. Felix Rey and Dr. Peyron, believed to be caused by temporal lobe epilepsy. Van Gogh was born with a brain lesion that many doctors believe was aggravated by his prolonged use of absinthe causing his epileptic condition. Dr. Gachet, another of Van Gogh’s physicians, was thought to have treated his…

How to Help Jackson, MS

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

   Locals currently have a very small bit of low pressure contaminated running water, apparently, which “Dr. Daniel Edney, a Missouri State Health Officer, advised Jackson residents to boil water for three minutes before use rather than just one minute to be safe, according to Mississippi Today.

Jackson, Miss. water distribution sites:

In response to the water crisis, Jackson is passing out free cases of bottled water as well as tankers of non-potable water, which is not for consumption, but for things like flushing toilets and cleaning.

The City of Jackson recommends directly donating to the Mississippi Rapid Response Coalition’s Water Fund. And, if you are local to the area, you can reach out to rapidresponse@peoplesadvocacyinstitute.com about volunteer opportunities.”

from this article.

Now, for the longer term problem, which that state has created through neglecting public schools, public infrastructure, public transportation, and public health services:…

We can Do Better Wednesdays, & Expired vs. Extinguished Debts

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This is a topic I’ve written about before, but not in detail, as part of Project Do Better’s Phase I piece, Public Financial Knowledge Infrastructure.

In most states, expired is merely ‘unenforceable’ except that you have to defend by showing the court that the debt is expired. That is why so many suits (around 90%) win by default, as people rarely show up in court to defend, and so that expired debt then gets a loss by default, followed by a money judgement, often on expired, and thus Time-Barred, or, unenforceable or even

unvalidated debts, , past the SoL.

Unfair and injust, but frequent.

Two states do ‘extinguish’ the debts after some years (13 yrs, if I recall correctly, in the case of MS), but an expired debt is not extinguished, just legally unenforceable. The problem with that is the need to defend on the unenforceability.

Gratidão

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Vou compartilhar algo especial com vocês hoje. Creio que, o momento é para celebrar os bons acontecimentos que tem sido ímpar em minha vida. Eu tirei o dia para falar sobre gratidão, porque, hoje pela manhã, uma seguidora foi tão gentil com as palavras que, acabaram me motivando a olhar para esse tema com mais expectativa. Ela me agradeceu por acrescentar tanto na vida de muitas mulheres que passam por abusos dentro de seus relacionamentos. Na verdade, são relações conturbadas ( doentias) alicercadas em maus-tratos e violência que suportam caladas. E como não é segredo para ninguém, eu trabalho esses temas aqui, e em outras plataformas, justamente com o objetivo de ajudar essas mulheres a identificar possíveis situações de abusos.

A seguidora que me agradeceu, aqui vou chamá-la de Ana, porque é uma forma de não expor a pessoa. Ana é um nome fictício que serve só para preservar o…

Value

From Behind the Pen

Image: Kym Gordon Moore

Value: the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.

Value: a person’s principles or standards of behavior; one’s judgment of what is important in life.

Value: estimate the monetary worth of.

        While there are a variety of definitions and ways to look at your value and live by your values, they are different in how you value yourself, whether or not others share in your personal value-sets. So often, others try to stifle and disregard your value and your worth, by turning it into an obstacle instead of an asset.

        Even if your net worth is a gazillion dollars, it has no impact on your value of you. If we don’t value ourselves and understand that there is power in our voices and abilities, then we will succumb to the rationalization…
