Sean Connery (RIP) Reads C.P. Cavafy’s Epic Poem “Ithaca,” Set to the Music of Vangelis | Open Culture

This video combines three things that make me happy: the voice of Sean Connery (who passed away today), the music of Vangelis (Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire), and the poetry of C.P. Cavafy.

COMMAND YOUR INTERNAL DIALOGUES

Klien Rai

Our body always carries a concurrent source of generating thoughts, which we call as mind. Our mind, which if not controlled by us, controls us and overrules us and our personality. This thought simply which we talk with, think with, act with is your internal dialogue. It is that voice echoing within you that waves up your words, thoughts and action. It is continuous all the time, without any control on your thoughts, consciously or subconsciously. (That is another point that being in a thoughtless state is attained meditation.)

Once this thought generating process is disturbed, the person is tagged with a tagline of “disturbed mind”. Thoughts keep on generating and get transformed into the words still in that condition too, but they actually loose your control. This happens only in the condition when your thought process is either negative or too much attached with the worldly desires . As…

Czech Republic reports 13,605 cases. — What Now News 24

Some believe that the healthcare system has already collapsed, as in some regions teenagers have been recruited to aid doctors and nurses. According to Dr. Milan Kubek, it is estimated that around 1000 healthcare workers get infected every day. Considering that the population is 10 million, the rate of infection among healthcare workers is very high.

What is this life??

Life is a wonder to be loved and learned from each day.

Unlocking The Hidden Me

#poetry #life

What is this life

Full of magic and hidden surprise

Sometimes it gives you reason to smile

And sometimes just to sit back and wonder why?

What is this life

Full of happiness to hold amid momentary gains

Too many roads to travel and opportunities to unravel

But which road to choose is the real game.

What is this life

Full of loved ones around you

Making you feel blessed and sane

Literally giving you a jibe when you start to succeed beyond their domains

What is this life

Testing your temperament at each step

Whether you will survive or go astray

Lucky you are, if you happen to realize

What is this life

Full of nature and beauty to admire

For some to accomplish a thousand desires

And for some to just repent what they lost and couldn’t acquire

What is this life

It’s anything but…

A record number of new Texas voters are making the state more competitive | The Texas Tribune

Four big blue cities: The counties that are home to Texas’ four biggest cities — Houston’s Harris County, San Antonio’s Bexar County, Dallas County and Austin’s Travis County — are generally considered reliably Democrat. In 2016, Hillary Clinton defeated Trump in these counties, 57.4% to 37.6%. These areas are also adding the most new voters. Since 2016, they saw an increase of 630,796 registered voters, according to data collected by the Texas secretary of state.

Six fast-changing counties: Just outside those big cities are the fast-changing suburbs. Over the past several election cycles, these areas of the state have been slipping away from Republicans’ grip. In 2016, Fort Bend County flipped blue. In 2018, Williamson and Hays voted Democrat. Collin County and Denton County have remained red — but some believe they may be in play for Democrats in 2020.
