Charlottesville

What is happening in the world with fascism and Authoritarianism?

What direction will hating and violence move in the days and weeks to come?

Liberal people are being beat down around the world and being replaced with authoritarianism or worse.

When war breaks out in the African Congo and Ebola spreads we need to be aware and try to help.

Europe is having trouble and economies struggle to stay upright.

It helps to stay aware and supportive during so much change, strife and violence.

So, although “Charlottesville” seems like a distant memory, there is a need to stay aware and concerned with these kinds of negative forces breeding in the world.

The Zen Like Driver

To cooperate with fellow driver’s make the experience nicer, safer and faster.

To be come aware of my awareness while driving is being more mindful.

The busy commute is due to the opposite .

The Challenge

Read, write, learn…

It is hard to study.

To find enough energy after a day’s work.

To balance a load that will make it easier to lift.

Read what you need rather than things that only make you feel good.

This can be extended to things I do.

I am not in school.

I am living ‘the good life’

To use this body is a good experience and to balance the work, exercise and play will help me reach this goal.

Much experience will complete this job.

Always to learn to be a better person.

‘Apple’ Is The Real Deal!

Steve Jobs was not only an artist that brought home the iPod, iPad and iPhone, but he saved Apple by returning to Apple Inc. as its cofounder.

It is a true monopoly.

It has and will do great things for USA, China, and the world.

I am not usually such a groupie but you may be curious:

I am as grumpy as hell, Mike

Sometimes, a true statement acts as a reminder as to a true state of mind.

We all do it, ‘fake it till we make it’.

It helps short term, to stay aware of a bad mood and behave like normal to prevent creating a mess. For example, yelling at someone who deserves it, but we need to tolerate (like a troublemaker co-human).

Long term the ‘grumpy Mike’, may need more serious action like 8 hours sleep.

Leadite

This sounds suspiciously like the blame or shame game.

Or violence begets violence.

There are always going to be people afraid of technology or imaginary outcomes.

Some believe in ‘end of days’.

Why not seek to understand the fearful’s point of view.

Honour

We all have to be allowed to live our lives as harsh as we want to live them.

There are other traditions but this one speaks to all souls.

Honour they mother and father as a code of conduct.

Cultural laws bring forth examples to the world: do no violence against another.

Award those for more than physical honour.

Credibility and integrity in the face of the stereotype has a warrant to those who practice and participate in a most worthy action.

Our future will demonstrate life I will honour.

Firefighter

There is a great old forest on fire.

Crowning in the trees, the destruction is swift.

Animals racing to safety, some burning in the wake of the fire.

The crew works hard to put the thing out.

The straw boss directs the water bombers with his handset.

He makes sure the crew is out of harms way.

12 hour days, three square meals, 8 hours sleep, very little down time.

Choppers flying them from ‘a to b’.

Making sure the camp is okay.

Camp cook and bottle washer does her daily chores and watches camp while the firefighters dance.

Protecting the forest products and every thing that lives there by extension.

3 weeks in, one week out, rest time for the crew.

If people only new.

The Devil Made Me Do It

Bad feeling, the end is here…

Everything is automatic.

The height, walking without a safety line on the top of the world.

Negotiations are a must, criminals need to be set free.

Can you focus under pressure?

The best of everything, all the money you ever will want.

Every time you find an answer there is another question.

Get in line, the trouble is mounting,

Get some help before it is too late.

Do you have an investment in blood?

Voodoo, religion, and predestination…

Spirituality or other belief systems put limits on how to believe.

What is right?

Question everything.

Stay in the trenches.

Everybody loves you.

Don’t let evil carry you away!

Ebola Situation Report For Democratic Republic Of Congo

This is the 15 report that involves the most current situation of the Ebola disease in this region.

http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/273088/SITREP_EVD_DRC_20180712-eng.pdf?ua=1

It is considered to be nearly over after 2 incubation periods of the virus which is 42 days.

Yet it must be said, there needs to be global cooperation to maintain support for health and welfare in any crisis.

The psychology effects alone warrants consideration for ongoing financial support.

The potential for future outbreaks must be entertained to cover further possible instances.

With all the work and study, help and support, this situation report is good news.

WHO and the UN are sustaining the good work necessary to maintain global cooperation and collaboration against any current or future Ebola situation in DRC or elsewhere.

Our hearts go out to all those who were effected by this deadly disease and we offer our condolences to the families and friends of the deaths related in this situation report.
