Insurrection Update

In Saner Thought

I know this is a long read….but I refuse to let this act of treason go under-reported.

On 06 January 2021 a pack of rabid in-bred morons breached the Capitol security and went about destruction and theft…….some want to move past that dark day and to that I say “screw you”….we should NEVER move on or forget the traitors that assaulted our way of life with the revisionist bullshit of the defunct president.

I will update my readers as often as I can with the events around those that crapped on the Constitution and our country on that day.

The good news is another traitor has pleaded guilty to his part of the insurrection….

A Florida man who stormed the Senate chamber on Jan. 6 waving a Trump flag has become the second rioter to plead guilty—and his case is being closely watched by lawyers for other riot suspects not…

Re-scripting your life

Remaking of Your “This Is My Life” Movie


Someone has said that the definition of being insane is watching the same movie – over and over again – and expecting that this time it will have a different ending. Does that mean that most of us are crazy for wanting something new or different in our life even though we have done nothing different with the way we think, behave or see the world? To be kind to ourselves, we have to say “no not crazy but being a wishful dreamer, yes, and yes again.

“Unscripting” The Key to a Remake of Your “This Is My Life” Movie

Someone has said that the definition of being insane is watching the same scene in a movie – over and over again – and expecting that this time it will have a different ending.

Does that mean that most of us are crazy for wanting something new or different in our life even though we have done nothing different with the way we think, behave or see the world?

To be kind to ourselves, we have to say “no, not crazy but being a wishful dreamer, yes, and yes again. If you want “make a difference because I was here,” a critical step forward would be one that helped you to be a whole person more of the time. That is, to be seen as a whole, spirited person and not one person at work, another at home and another in the community.

So, if you were a film maker, to help others see the whole, real you, you would just rewrite the old script or create a new script, right? Wrong!

One of the best ways to “write” or “rewrite” the script of “My Life” is to “unscript” how you see others. What? Re-script by un-scripting – now that’s crazy.

If you “unscript” how you see others, it will not be long before someone says to you, “You’re are really a different sort of person, you see me as I really am,” or “You have really changed. I don’t know how or why but it’s as if I am seeing you for the first time!”

Unscripting is about changing how you see those you know already and those whom you see about the city or newly meet.

Unscripting begins by not judging or prejudging a person based on your past knowledge of that person. It also means not judging or automatically categorizing the “new” person according their clothing, speech, or how she or he carries him or herself.

Unscripting means dropping your “automatic” way of categorizing people, even if it feels a bit awkward. You may feel awkward or uneasy because at first, because “automatic” judgements are, in part, a survival skill born into all creatures. Being able to predict behavior and whether a situation is dangerous or not is a survival skill we all must have – unscripting does not involve becoming unsafe or foolishly risky, it just means being more selective about being on “automatic.”

When we over do our need for predictability and apply it simply to make life easier (on the basis of fewer decisions means less work), we reduce are ability to adapt (the other basic survival skill), we put ourselves behind “mental walls” or a “mental box” that prevents us for clearly seeing others – these walls also hide us from others’ view.

Test yourself. How long does it take for you to “tag” or categorize someone as you watch people enter a public room or walking on the street. And you thought computers were quick. I am willing to bet that each of your judgments will take no more than one or two nanoseconds.

Many of your speedy “tags” or scripts for these people are based on “whats,” or what people appear to be. As you watch people walk down the street: this one is a craftsperson (a well-kept man in a clean jumpsuit carrying a toolbox), that one is a day laborer, she is an office worker, she is a government clerk, That one is a religious pilgrim, he is…, she is….

Consider the first person. You can only see and react to the him as a craftsperson. You do not “see” him as a brother, uncle, father, a village or district historian and story teller, some one who won a foot race or scored three goals. You cannot see a kind man, a man who has read every book on music in his local library. And the important point, he cannot see you as anything other than another “what” who only sees him as a “what.”

So the first step is to do your best to not just see people as “whats.” It will certainly open up new possibilities at work and in the community. As you see and treat people as whole people, so they will see and treat you.

The second step is really just a way of accomplishing the first. My father did his utmost to be sure that my brother and I made no judgments of people based on their looks, their speech, their “whats.” He was not perfect at it himself but he was persistent with drilling it into us – and making sure that he introduced us with great interest to as a wide a variety of people as our town or travels offered.

Once, when I had made a really bad mistake in misjudging a person – and paid for it with a bruised eye and nose – I asked him if he had any good ways of not making the wrong judgment.

Look at people’s eyes, he said – only see their eyes – not how they are dressed or not how they speak. When you look into another person’s eyes, the first thing they notice is that you are not looking at how they are dressed, how they are standing, or what they sound like – you are looking to see the person. And then – they see you, in the same way, as a whole person – a new person. And you are on your way to creating your new film called “my life 2.”

Increased concern for drought and wildfires in B.C.: Why and how climate change could be playing a role | Globalnews.ca

The BC Wildfire Service is also quite concerned, not only for this season but for the years to come. “From a wildfire perspective we’re seeing climate change affect us in two different ways. It’s generating more severe weather events, long term heat waves, longer termed drought, and a longer fire season,” wildfire prevention specialist Dana Hicks said. But we’re also seeing a change in the fuels across British Columbia. Insects and diseases are able to overwinter successfully, and that’s affecting the fuel.” Research outlined in an article by Climate Atlas of Canada, also shows that drought increases to amount of dry fuel available to burn and fire weather researchers says “the future is smoky.”

Kambodscha – Leben auf dem Tonle-Sap-See

Google translation of title and introduction: Cambodia – Life on Tonle Sap Lake December 3, 2019 Tonle Sap Lake is one of the most fish-rich waters on earth. However, due to the constantly changing water level as a result of the monsoons, people are forced to come to terms with nature in a special way. Many fishermen live with their families in floating villages and on houseboats. Even the school, the gas station and the supermarket float on the water. To get a little insight into the life of the people on the lake, we took a small supply boat from Battambang in western Cambodia to Siem Reap, where we also wanted to see lesser-known temples. The owner of our small hotel in Battambang had enabled us to take the supply boat. We were the only westerners, the supply boat usually doesn’t take tourists.

Senioren um die Welt

Der Tonle-Sap-See gehört zu den fischreichsten Gewässern der Erde. Durch den sich ständig ändernden Wasserspiegel infolge des Monsuns sind die Menschen jedoch gezwungen, sich in besonderer Weise mit der Natur zu arrangieren. Viele Fischer leben mit ihren Familien in schwimmenden Dörfern und auf Hausbooten. Sogar die Schule, die Tankstelle und der Supermarkt schwimmen auf dem Wasser. Um einen kleinen Einblick in das Leben der Menschen auf dem See zu bekommen, fuhren wir mit einem kleinen Versorgungsboot von Battambang im Westen Kambodschas nach Siem Reap, wo wir uns auch weniger bekannte Tempel ansehen wollten. Der Besitzer unseres kleinen Hotels in Battambang hatte es uns ermöglicht, mit dem Versorgungsboot zu fahren. Wir waren die einzigen Westler, das Versorgungsboot nimmt normalerweise keine Touristen mit.

U.S. Supremes unanimously reject “racist precedents” in ruling that tribal police can search and detain non-Indians who are suspected of crimes on tribal lands |

“Protecting our tribal citizens is one of the most basic services we can provide, and today every member of the Supreme Court agreed,” said Fawn Sharp, President of the National Congress of American Indians. “This 9-0 decision is one of the strongest affirmations of tribal sovereignty in a generation and helps secure Native communities.”

For too long, Sharp said, “non-Native criminals escaped justice from crimes committed on tribal lands, but today’s unanimous decision in United States v. Cooley is monumental in changing that.”

The Iconic Colosseo, Rome.

Really impressive…

pe blog

Day 3. Our third Day in Rome started with a great Italian breakfast and then we headed to the Historical Colosseo. It’s situated in the center of Rome city and is one of the most ancient monuments in the world. Known as a popular destination, the Colosseum or Colosseo is an iconic symbol of Italy.

Colosseo, Rome. @ Mizou

The subway was crowded by tourists among us. From a distance, we were astonished by the splendid view of the ” Colosseo” which is the remains of The Antic Rome City. It’s a Monumental Roman amphitheater once used for gladiatorial combats games and wild animal fights. After four centuries of activity, the great arena had been neglected.

The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine limestone, tuff, and…

Ulisind

Google translation of introduction: Chios, 2017 – We arrived in Chios by boat, with a real one. The journey was long and I felt like a kind of Ulysses (appellation invented, in a wonderful text, by Ruxandra Cesereanu), there on the deck, twelve hours scrutinizing the horizon. Or reading. It is the only place on ships where I can read with unparalleled delight.

Călătoria a fost lungă și m-am simțit ca un fel de Ulisă (apelativ inventat, într-un minunat text, de Ruxandra Cesereanu), acolo pe punte, douăsprezece ore scrutând orizontul. Sau citind. Pe vapoare e singurul loc unde pot citi cu o delectare inegalabilă.

Am luat vaporul de la Kavala și am făcut doar trei escale până în Chios.

Dacă te încumeți, să știi că nu-i prea comod să stai de la patru după-masa până la patru dimineața pe bănci tari, de o curățenie îndoielnică și cu servicii pe punte care corespund cu nivelul de bilet cel mai ieftin.  Pentru călătorii mai pretențioși există și cabine, cușete multiple de clasa a doua, cabine individuale de clasa întâi sau cabine deluxe, la preț dublu sau triplu comparativ cu biletul pe puntea exterioară.

Short view of WWII Pacific Army Medicine

Pacific Paratrooper

Buna casualty arrives at the 171st Station Hospital, at Port Moresby, Papua, Dec 42. This 500-bed Hospital arrived at Port Moresby early December and operated together with the 153d Sta Hosp, the 10th Evac Hosp, and a provisional Battalion of the 135th Med Regt. Because of malaria, those patients who, after treatment, were expected to remain unfit for duty more than 14 days, were usually sent to mainland Australia (Townsville or Brisbane).

Every combat Theater of WW2 had its unique medical history, but nowhere did disease pose a greater threat to the American G.I. and to military operations than in the bitter war against Japan!
US Armed Forces faced the dual challenges of fighting and supporting its troops in primitive, largely tropical environments, burdened by severe logistical problems.
