My Two Cents

yaskhan

Life
God given
Man driven.

Earth
Temporary dwelling of man
His residence in this life span.

Death 
Being laid back in earth 
In a box to fit one's girth.

Heaven
Where angels reside
And God presides.

Love
Irrational sentiment 
For progress an impediment.

Beauty
Goes as deep as the skin
Chasing it is a sin.

Wikipedia 
For what it's worth
Knowledge it brings forth. 

Google
Information creation 
From planetary station.

Wordpress 
Where poets express
Their Vignettes impress
With finesse immense.

Borneo – a world forgotten / Lt. Gen. E.M. Flanagan Jr.

Pacific Paratrooper

Australians landing on Borneo

Part of the wider Borneo campaign of the Pacific War, was fought between 10 June and 15 August 1945 in North Borneo (later known as Sabah). The battle involved a series of amphibious landings by Australian forces on various points on the mainland around Brunei Bay and upon islands situated around the bay. Japanese opposition to the landings was sporadic initially, although as the campaign progressed a number of considerable clashes occurred and both sides suffered relatively significant casualties. Ultimately, however, the Australians were successful in seizing control of the region.

Codenamed Operation Oboe Six, the battle was part of the second phase of the Allied operations to capture the island of Borneo. Previously in May a brigade-sized force had been put ashore on Tarakan. A total of 29,000–30,000 men were committed to the operation by the Allies, with the majority of the ground forces being…

I Feel Your Fear, Aoc

Grounds For Hope

 I hear the storm; I hear evil sounds.
 They chase me down in the corridors.
 The growls and rage are on the ground.
 Casted scene by a conspirator. 

 A search for refuge I must find
 My life is hanging on a string.
 Just like a piece of meat is hanging.
 For vicious dogs devouring.
 
 The mind is wandering around, but not in the square.
 Hopes and dreams flushing in front of my eyes
 Is this true? Would they really dare?
 Will truth and justice be chastised?
 
 Oh, dear friend, I beg for a shelter, 
 Oh, dear friend, they are after me.
 The drum is beating under my sweater.
 I beg for life; I beg to be free.

IN A SEARCH FOR A FRIEND, I FOUND A PAW

Dogs select and train their owners…

Grounds For Hope

In a search for a friend, I found a paw. Stretching her paws, she asked for a handshake That very moment when I glanced into her eyes I knew we’d be friends; she was a surprise. As I carried her from a shabby pet store She licked my face showing her affection. I didn’t know what the licking was for Seventeen years later, I know that, indeed, I was her selection. A black 'n' tan mini dachshund with soulful eyes and vibrant facial expressions. Her deep barks and big personality Made it clear - she was the exception. Who’d ever thought that shabby store in Crystal, Minnesota Would have a four-legged friend who’d’ love to play snowballs Who’d diligently pick up daily junk mail And never missed a dinner with meatballs. And did I tell you that she was a tennis player? She’d catch each ball without failure. She was…

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

@thegeneticsgal, this one is for you:

I have been dreaming up an idea since 2011, which I have been rehashing, renaming, and reorganizing into more viable alternatives.  This bit of the idea comes from around 2013 or so, but don’t forget, that even then I was trying to figure out what parts and pieces make up the common good.

The common good, or the general welfare, includes our Public Commons, like on-going legal & financial pro-bono education (aka Adulting Education).   Access to these public goods must become more fully inclusive for all of us.

the aim of Fully Inclusive Equality.

The Goals (allowing each person to contribute fully):

1. Each person, as a child, must learn to swim (or at least float).
2. Each child must learn emotional/psychological self-defense and physical self-defense to the greatest extent possible, in a Gandhian context.
(1 and 2 are part…

Healthy Beetroot Halwa

Smitha's Bake Love

No, I don’t like Beetroot one bit.

Yes, that’s the truth and then everything changed once I became pregnant. Its one of those weird things which happened. Women crave sweets, fast foods, savory, salt and many more. But for some weird reasons I started enjoying coffee and beetroot more during my pregnancy. More weird (to me) my kid loves, actually adores beetroot chips than lays chips.

Eating the beetroots still stuck with me even after and I enjoy this healthy and yummy vegetable in both stir fries and curries alike. Most of the times you get that nasty after taste of Iron after eating beetroot. But that never bothered me.

Adding beetroot to sweets is new for me. But it is the easiest and delicious dessert you can make to grace any occasion. Plus there is a big added benefit of HEALTHY in the mix. As you know, Beetroot is…
