What is the ideal fish nutrition for both your pets and your tropical saltwater fish? On this, everyone has a different opinion. However, some people choose their fish food purely based on what the pet retailer tells them. That really limits both you and the fish you can catch. If you want to grow into a big, sturdy, creative, and unexpectedly content fish, you should ignore everything the fish guy advises and raise the bar.

You must first determine the rationale behind your fish, the reasoning for why you purchased them or obtained them in another manner, and only then can you choose the proper food for them. Do you require common, little fish to swim in the tank on a daily basis? Do you require prize fish, fish that appear a little bigger and are a little happier, on the other hand? Do you think your fish should eat more like they do in the wild, running after their own food and practicing the skills that come with hunting instead of racing to the highest part of the tank to acquire their old, dry fish meal?

If you require more frequent attention, live food is what you would choose. The food that was previously alive would then be frozen as the next stage, and to finish, there is the dry food or piece food that arrives in those cylindrical chambers.

Do your fish prefer the bottom or the top? Food that will either float or fall to the bottom will be appreciated by bottom dwellers. Obtain some live Tubifex worms. These may be found in the refrigerator at the pet store employee. They resemble a brown, pinkish, unorganised bunch of tiny thread worms. They smell awful, but the fish adore them when I collect them. If you accidentally drop a little ball into the tank, your fish will quickly rush over to get it.

Try them live saline solution prawns as their meal if you have saltwater fish or other unusual fish. Of course, dry or chip food can also be added to fish feasts to enrich them.

Your fish will do similarly well whether you purchase high-end or inexpensive food. So how do I at least have a vague notion of this? Once as I was caring for some fish, I ran out of fish food. So I gave the fish some food by crushing a few Cheerios between my fingers. They loved it and thrived on it, so I never went back to using regular fish food.

These fish grew in size from little fish being raised. My Cheerios were thus successful. Try nothing I suggest because it was my personal insight and I can't guarantee it will work for you or your particular species of fish. If you wanted to investigate alternative options in this area, you may start by adding Cheerios to regular fish food. That is only thinking; it offers no advice or direction. I wish you luck!

If you have a fish that has a good possibility of becoming larger and you need a large fish, you may start feeding it tubifex and move up to real worms as it grows bigger. By caring for and nurturing this fish properly, you may grow one astronautis oscellatus, which you purchased when he was approximately half an inch long, into a fish that is about two feet long. Incredible progress for an incredible fish. We had one of these and fed colossal, colossal night crawlers to him. We bought our first fish for less than two dollars, and it turned out to be a real beast.

Remember that sometimes you will spend almost nothing for the actual fish when you buy one. The real expense associated with keeping fish as a hobby is related to housing, feeding, filtering water, and adorning the fish and tank. I hope this information was helpful. Browse through my many articles on fish food, fish care, growing guppies, and more clear articles about clear fascinating fish-related side hobbies that will be distributed shortly.

In VERY SPECIFIC situations, Tucker and Simmons getting along can go like this-

Something Dangerous has been Happening, and Tucker is trying to be the leader about it, which to be fair- he's very capable and impressive! It is also just SO STRESSFUL. He wants to protect his friends, he really cares about them all, he's smart enough to figure out what to do... it's just a LOT to be the hero all the time. Everybody sees Tucker on the verge of having a stress-induced breakdown, Wash and Carolina can tell him to take a break, sure, but Tucker argues about what HYPOCRITES they are, Caboose could maybe sit on him until he calms down, but Tucker is ON EDGE, so any sneak-attacks are pointless... so Simmons starts telling him to chill. Tucker calls him a bossy dip-shit, Simmons doesn't care, he just keeps trading insults with Tucker while casually handing him some water to drink, and then Tucker has all the rage out of his system, he finally agrees to take a nap. What just happened? HOW did that happen? Well, you see, Simmons typically has an unavoidable habit of agreeing with whatever an authority figure says... but the thing is, while Tucker is a LEADER, Simmons does NOT consider him an authority figure. Whatever reflex Simmons has to pay attention and try to be helpful is still there, but he is absolutely not intimidated by Tucker. Also, Tucker doesn't know how to push all of Simmons' "irritation buttons" (unlike Grif, when he got promoted and was in charge for a while), so whatever mean little comments Tucker makes are meaningless. "Oooh, my name is Dick and you called me a dick, very clever"- Simmons doesn't care. He's back-talking, but without any real anger. Tucker NEEDS somebody to argue with, and normally Church can distract him with trading insults, but if Tucker is too wound-up, he's EXTRA snippy, and the fighting just spirals out of control. Simmons is, ironically, the perfect person to defuse this very particular bomb. That is, a Leader he isn't Afraid Of, who likes to Argue, and also needs somebody to step in and offer some help (which Simmons LOVES doing)

OR, nothing in particular is really going on, they're all just very bored with nothing to do... when Tucker is bored, his "annoying little sibling" attitude comes out, and if nobody else is around to be a target, Simmons gets the spot-light. Simmons is actually VERY fun to bother, he gets all indignant over any little interruption, but if he happens to be busy, either with a task or a hobby, and Tucker asks out of boredom- "What'cha doin'?". This ACTIVATES Simmons' special interest of Explaining Things. When Simmons gets all excited about sharing stuff, his attitude is entirely different than when he's being smug, or just rolling through a bunch of boring rules/procedures, and Tucker internally makes the discovery- "Oh, wait... this guy is FUNNY?". Simmons enjoys having an audience, and Tucker moves on from being annoying to being a Helper, and he then moves on to being the one who explains things... because Tucker likes to share his interests too, he just doesn't always have the chance to do that. Simmons ALSO likes being the Helper, tell him what to do and teach him something, this is enrichment! Tucker knows about video games and movies Simmons has never played or watched, he's been to different places back on Earth, and knows weird little facts (he got to do things as a kid Simmons never got to). Both of them takes turns like "I will show you how to do a thing", and neither of them says it, but they both think "I wish I had a friend like him when I was younger" (Simmons wishes he had a friend who was cool and funny, Tucker wishes he had a friend who cared enough to be the voice of reason). They both have similar relationships with the others, but in particular, they both also kind of recognize that they were maybe kinda-sorta left out in ways the others haven't been, and they also know that there hasn't really been a "Big Emotional Moment" that bonded them forever... which means, they became friends, just because. Which is kinda nice

every single rvb dynamic possible is so endlessly fascinating

A Beautiful Way To Die

Pairing: Heidi x Fem!Reader

Summary; When you thought of death or the possibility of you dying, you never seriously considered the possibility of dying at the hands of a gorgeous vampire.

Word count: 1.7k

Warnings: swearing, Heidi accidentally being creepy give her a break she's new to interacting with mortals and NOT eating them

Author's note: I've been wanting to write about Heidi for a while now because her character, even though we got so very little of it is fascinating (again thanks smeyer for making your side characters more interesting than the main ones). Also, am a simple gay.

Arising from your jet-lagged slumber, you'd hoped the beautiful blue, sunny skies you enjoyed yesterday would still be there. Sadly, your luck was out the window along with the welcoming warm weather.

You'd travelled to Italy with the intention of finally getting out into the world and having the freedom to explore and go your own path. Looking online for travel destinations was both a struggle and exciting! "Where should I go?" you wondered while scrolling through all your proposed options. None caught your eye until you landed on one listing;

Enjoy an enriching, quaint experience in the city of Volterra!

Nestled in the country hillsides of Italy, Volterra has a host of activities for you to enjoy, from historical site tours and many shopping locales, bars and more. From the Palazzo di Priori to the Volterra Cathedral... Come, and lose yourself in a city who's architecture is frozen in time.

You wandered the town, taking in the sites of all the old buildings around you. Even with the clouded sky above your head, Volterra was still a breathtaking place.

After an hour of wandering you came to a stop in the Palazzo, plopping down to sit by the large fountain. Hands resting under your chin, you entered a blissful, happy daydream.

Sighing dreamily, you let your eyes close.

You didn't notice the woman watching you attentively.

Heidi had been tasked with finding more humans to feed the guards and the masters themselves, her own hunger growing more ravenous by the day. She'd managed to lure in a few stray helpless tourists, but she still needed just a few more.

Striding through the streets with confidence, she halted as a sudden alluring scent hit her like wave. Mouth pooling with venomous saliva, she held in an instinctive growl. Where is that scent coming from? More so... who?

Following the mouthwatering aroma, she let herself be guided through the cobblestone streets of Volterra, the beast within her growling with glee as she got closer and closer to the human. Heidi had had many victims, many catches that she's reeled in from her "fishing" that have satisfied her, but none that made her yearn for blood more so than whoever it was that smelt like this.

She found herself in the Palazzo, her eyes desperately scanning every face, every scent of anyone who was nearby. She needed to know which it was.

Taking in another deep breath through her nose, the scent hit her again, and she found the poor helpless human.

A woman, who smelt better than anything she'd ever had before. Heidi sunk into the shadows of a nearby alley and studied you. You were plain, simple clothes and your eyes were currently closed as you enjoyed some blissful daydream. Her throat burned with thirst by this point, and as she watched you... something else began to grow.

Curiosity, was it? Heidi couldn't put her finger on it. Letting out an unnecessary huff, she decided to approach. I'll make sure to let Felix and Demetri know that this snack is strictly mine alone. Heidi put on her best smile and sauntered over to the human.

 “Pardon me, Miss?” a smooth voice called your attention away from your daydreaming. 

You jump in surprise as you turn your attention to the source of the voice that startled you. The owner of the voice was equally startling; her beauty blinded you, as she stood directly in front of the faint rays of sunlight you swore she was literally shining. The red dress she wore clung nicely to her body, an off the shoulder piece that only highlighted her best assets. Violet eyes gazed at you curiously, flicking from the art book open in your lap to your face. 

If angels were real, you’d believe this woman was one.

Unbeknownst to you, but the shock went both ways. Now that she was face-to-face with you, Heidi’s painted red lips had parted, an inaudible gasp to your ears escaping them.

A pull she had never experienced before took hold of the vampire. She needed to be near you - not just in the hunger sense, but more of a “If I am separated from this woman for any reason I will rip someone’s arm off” kind of way. At least, that is how Heidi would describe it.

Trying to shake herself out of her jumbled train of thought, she flashed you a quick smile, savouring the way it made your heart stutter. “I couldn���t help but notice you sitting here, are you new to Volterra?”

You nodded, gently smiling at the pretty woman. “I am, just passing through on my way to Venice.”

Heidi giggled. "Venice? That's quite the destination. And what brings you to Volterra?"

"I'm going on a tour here before I leave for Venice," you explained, none the wiser to the sudden shift in Heidi's demeanor. "I needed a place to stay since it was such a long trip, and..."

"What tour, if you don't mind my asking?"

You blinked. The woman was now very serious, the playful almost-flirtatious air about her gone. "In there, actually," you reply, pointing to the castle-like cathedral just behind her.

"I see."

Shit. Shit, shit, fuck! A string of curse words swam in Heidi's head in multiple languages. She can't go in there! But she's booked already, they'll be expecting her and we don't often get cancellations and if we do -

"I'm sorry, is there a problem?" You ask, growing more confused by the pretty lady as the seconds went by.

"Ah, hello Heidi."

You both turn your head to the rather tall man who had appeared at Heidi's side. He was quite the looker - very tall, heavy build and looked like he could break you in half with one hand.

"Felix, what are you doing here?" The woman - Heidi - says to her companion with an airy smile.

You didn't fail to notice the sharp look she had in her eyes.

"Just roaming about the city is all," the man replied coolly, a grin on his face that faltered into a curious smile when his gaze shifted to you. “And who might this lovely lady be? Perhaps a tour guest of the castle?”

With a laugh, Heidi linked her arm into Felix’s bicep, her fingernails digging deep into his arm. Under his breath Felix hissed and looked at Heidi with wide, confused eyes but she kept her airy exterior up perfectly.

 “Our tour bookings are full, Felix,” she said pointedly.

You looked on at the exchange feeling lost. There seemed to be some animosity between the two but why? You didn’t know. Maybe they were exes.

 “I see.” A thin, curt smile replaced his cocky grin from just moments ago. “Well then, I’ll meet up with you later. We’ll talk more then.” 

As the man left, Heidi left out a small huff and then turned back toward you, her brilliant smile bewitching you again. "Forgive him, he's always prowling during the tours for pretty young women to bore to death with his rants about his hobbies."

You giggled, grinning back at her. "I'll be sure to try and stay off his radar when tomorrow's tour begins."

Tomorrow's tour, Heidi's thoughts echoed your words. So she's coming in on that tour. Keeping her composure cool, she tilted her head down and gazed at you from beneath her eyelashes. Seduction tactics, only this time she was trying to steer her prey away. "Please beautiful, I want you to listen to me very closely."

Frowning at her sudden serious nature, you began to stand up from where you were perched, listening intently.

"Volterra has a lot to offer tourists, many fascinating sites to see. Our cathedral however... don't come. Please," she pleaded, her voice low and silky, "find somewhere else to go sight seeing."

You froze mid-way through putting away your art book. Her serious tone and the look in her eyes... something about the look in her eyes sent a chill down your spine. "I - I'll consider it."

The corner of Heidi's mouth twitched. She then straightened herself up and the deadly serious disposition left as quickly as it had appeared, the friendly seductress returning once more. "Well, I suppose all I can do is steer you away," she chuckled, more to herself.

You smiled politely back, your eyes flickering to your surroundings briefly. As you took in how the sky had gone much darker than it was before, you gasped. "Oh damn, it looks like its going to rain!"

Sure enough, as soon as the word "rain" left your lips, Heidi felt a droplet from the sky land on her cheek.

"I had better get going, it was really nice meeting you!" You began saying your farewells to the beautiful lady, pulling your backpack hastily up onto your back. You didn't want to get potentially drenched in the downpour.

"Wait!"

Ice gripped your wrist abruptly, sending a shock up your arm and making a surprised gasp escape your lips. The fuck?

Oh.

Heidi had grabbed your wrist. She must have some bad circulation, you vaguely thought to yourself.

"I never got your name." The word were desperate, to Heidi pitiful even.

"It's Y/N," you breathed, taken back by Heidi's behavior.

She let go of your wrist, a half smile appearing. "Y/N," she repeated, your name leaving her mouth - in your mind anyway - almost reverently. "Beautiful name, cara mia... anyway, we should head our separate ways! The rain is sure to stat pouring any moment now."

You hummed in agreement, internally trying to shake yourself out of the stupor you now found yourself in. God damn, this woman... help. She's pretty. So pretty. I am very gay.

"It was nice meeting you, Heidi. Maybe I'll see you around?" You offered with a hopeful smile, trying to shut out your internal screaming.

As you quickly walked away, Heidi carefully breathed in after holding her breath. The air stung her throat, your scent, your blood, making her moan wantonly.

She only hoped for two things; one, that she would get the pleasure of seeing your exquisite face again, and secondly and most importantly, that you would heed her warning not to come to the Volterra Cathedral tour tomorrow.

Brain Exercises To Improve Your Memory

You’ve probably heard the old adage “use it or lose it.” Many researchers do believe that this maxim applies to the brain health. Brain training is all rage these days, often touted as way to sharpen your mind and even boost the intelligence. While many cognitive scientists suggest that claims surrounding the brain training are both exaggerated and the misleading, there is an abundance of the research suggesting that certain types of the activities can be beneficial for the brain’s health.

The brain’s plasticity allows to adapt and change, even as you grow older. As you learn the new things, you can create and strengthen the neural pathways and networks. This helps make your brain stronger, but it can also help make it more flexible and adaptable to the change.

These benefits can be particularly useful for keeping the our mind sharp as you get older.

One extensive study involved more than about 2,800 participants over age of 65 who each engaged in one of three different forms of the cognitive training. Types of training used included the speed of processing training, the memory training, and the reasoning training.

However, all three groups benefited, experiencing the protection from age-related cognitive declines that lasted at least the five years. Clearly certain the mental activities can have important the brain benefits. Now let’s tackle some of the brain exercises that you can do at home. While the brain games are not designed to make you more intelligent, you might find that you become mentally sharper and cognitively stronger if you do practice them regularly.

One of best ways to strengthen your mind takes bit of commitment, but it is also one of most effective and rewarding. Find out what you need to do to get that brain of yours in the tip-top shape.

Take Care of Your Body to Take Care of Your Mind

If you want to take care of the mind, you need to start by taking care of your body. Research has time again shown that the people who engage in the healthy behaviors such as the exercise and the proper nutrition are less susceptible to the cognitive declines associated with the aging process.

Studies from 2006 even suggest that the exercise can make you smarter and protect your brain from the shrinkage as it ages.

Research on the mice in 2013 has even revealed that the exercise can increase the neurogenesis, or the formation of new brain cells, in brain’s hippocampus. One study published in the 2013 looked at the healthy behaviors in nearly 2,300 men over the course of thirty years. Researchers looked at the participants’ behaviors and the cognitive abilities starting in middle age tracked their progress throughout the old age. The researchers found that the men who practiced certain healthy behaviors were around the 60 percent less likely to experience the cognitive impairment and dementia as they age. These healthy behaviors included not the smoking, maintaining a healthy BMI, regularly exercising, consuming lots of the vegetables and the fruits and consuming a low to moderate amount of the alcohol. So if you want to build better mind, start by working on your physical health first. Go for walk, start incorporating more fresh fruits and the vegetables into your diet and try to give up any bad habits like the excessive alcohol consumption or the tobacco use. Some of these might be more difficult than the others, but your brain will thank you for the years to come.

Draw a Map of Your Town from Memory

While you might feel like you can navigate the streets of your neighborhood with eyes closed, try challenging the brain by actually drawing the map of your town or the neighborhood from memory. No the cheating! Try to include the major streets, major side streets, and the local landmarks. Once you are done, compare your memory map to the real map of the area. How did you do? Are you surprised by some of things that you missed? If you found this activity too easy, try drawing less familiar area from the memory, such as a map of the country.

Navigating your way to supermarket or the doctor’s office might seem simple and almost automatic when you are behind wheel of your car. However, forcing yourself to remember layout of your neighborhood as well as draw and label it helps activate a variety of the areas of your brain.

Learn Something New

This brain exercise requires bit of commitment, but it is also one that just might give you most bang for your buck. Learning something new is one of the way to keep your brain on its toes and continually introduce the new challenges. In one study, the researchers assigned the older adults to learn  variety of the new skills ranging from the digital photography to quilting. They then did the memory tests and compared the experimental groups to the control groups. Those in control groups had engaged in the activities that were fun but not that mentally challenging such as the watching movies and listening to the radio. The researchers found that only those participants who had learned the new skill experienced improvement on the memory tests. They also discovered that the memory improvements were still present when tested again year later.

Some things you might want to try include the learning a new language, learning to play the musical instrument or learning the new hobby. Not only will you be stretching the mind, but you will also be continually learning something new as you keep expanding skills and becoming more accomplished.

Try Using Your Non-Dominant Hand

Up next is an interesting the brain exercise that one neurobiologist suggests might help “keep your brain alive.” In his book which he wrote ” Keep Your Brain Alive: the 83 Neurobic Exercises to Help Prevent Memory Loss and Increase the Mental Fitness”, the neurobiologist Lawrence Katz recommends using your non-dominant hand to strengthen your mind. Because using your opposite hand can be so challenging, it can be great way to increase the brain activity. Try switching the hand while you are eating the dinner or when you are trying to write something down. It will be difficult, but that is exactly point. The most effective the brain activities are those that are not necessarily easy. Up next is the activity that you probably do every day, but you might not realize just how beneficial it might be for the mental strength.

Socialize

Studies from the 2019 suggest that the people who are socially active are also at lower risk of developing the dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Even if you are an inveterate the introvert, seeking the social interactions can be beneficial to your brain in both short and long-term. Some ideas for staying socially engaged to include the signing up for the volunteer opportunities in your community, joining a club, signing up for local walking group, and staying in close touch with friends and family.

Meditate

Up next is brain exercise that has been in use for thousands of years but has recently gained considerable recognition for its effectiveness. One brain exercise you might not have considered might actually be extremely effective – the meditation. Before you say that this ancient Buddhist tradition is too the New Age for you, consider some of the research demonstrating the many benefits of the meditation. Studies from 2007 suggest that the mindfulness meditation can help engage new neural pathways, resulting in improved self-observational skills and increased the mental flexibility. The 2007 research has also shown that the meditation can help improve the attention, focus, empathy, and even the immunity. Studies also suggest that the meditation might even increase capacity of working the memory. Are you ready to try this brain exercise? You can read quick guide to practicing the mindfulness meditation. You can also check out some handy tips for incorporating mindfulness into everyday life.

Saw a tag game that was “unconventional tags”, and I was going to reblog but I wound up having TOO MANY tags per prompt! 

So out of sheer curiosity, I’m going to share what The Entire Selection of Tags with “chocolate”, “kill”, “done”, “try”, “stop”, and “why” is in this post! (Be warned: There are MANY and I only remember the context for about a quarter of these. I was able to dig up 92 tags for “why” alone. But I’m rather curious and analytical, so of course I’d tag a lot of Why’s...... anyways! Here goes! It is LONG.)

Lots of personal considerations, a hefty dose of OC and Titans-related fandom tags, 

Chocolate:

#(but like... chocolate AND cherries....~<33333 )

#I wonder if I could use gluten-free oreos (i.e. ''''chocolate sandwich cookies'''') as the crust instead.... ooooh i'm gonna try that!!

#but I've never had to buy anything and try to sell it besides... like. Malley's Chocolate Bars and other such candy bar fundraisers.

#i was at work for 12 hours but then I got home and went ''FUCK IT'' and ate some chocolate cake and a bagel with eggs???

#Dove will bring her a cup of tea or hot chocolate and sit with her for awhile. Maybe talk through some things with her.

#PB+chocolate can be either GREAT or /awful/ depending on the brand.

#Dark chocolate is more of a Dry and Astringent Texture thing for me.

#It's as essential in my plot ideas as chocolate is in hot chocolate. Just can't possibly make it without it.

#anyways: Peanut butter + chocolate is good. I like the fancy hazelnut spreads with peanut butter swirls.

#Mint+chocolate is good as Andes mints but bad as peppermint patties. Again; it depends on the brand. LOVE it in ice cream!

#i'm suddenly reminded that i bought myself an entire whole-ass chocolate silk pie Because I Wanted It SO BAD

Kill:

#nice to know the life skills i learned at chipotle haven't left me. 8FFFFF

#And I've always obsessively cataloged knowledge of canon. so when I found out all of Raven's half-siblings were killed (or their mothers)?

#kill mary-sue witch hunt culture! KILL IT DEAD

#it's Ten Percent Luck and Twenty percent skill if you're referencing the song I think you are but i see your point

#I have a 0.07 skill level when it comes to Playing By Ear and chords. But this is LOVELY so far even if it IS simplified

#it's okay you can say Kill la Kill

#excuse me as I kill my throat from gasp-laughing too harsadddnamfwje

#it wasn't until i literally shouted at a doctor that I was going to kill myself if they couldn't help me that someone actually DID SOMETHING

#you could never kill me in a way that matters

#he's also the only one who Actually tried to kill the Joker. so.......

#did you know bugs feel A Jolt of Pain when you kill them? I don't know what the heck the science-y anatomical cause of that is

#kill the idea that yelling/screaming is Normal and Healthy! Because it's not! It's absolutely NOT.

#But yeah! There's no better way to learn a skill than looking to the people who have already mastered the skills you want to learn.

#''Are you really willing to kill the next George Floyd; the next Breonna Taylor; the next Tamir Rice?''

#those herbs DON'T KILL VIRUSES like alcohol does!!

#''what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'' yeah but it leaves you with Serious Vulnerabilities that you have to spend your

#with the tags out of the way: THAT'S BECAUSE 9/!! was PLAYED to THEIR BENEFIT (or: possibly even done by the govt themselves)

Real life Tips for a Better Work-Life Balance

It's so secret—managing all the things you have to do as an adult is a challenge. From doing your best on the job to taking care of yourself (and, if you have them, your kids) to trying to see friends and stay sane, we know you've got a lot on your plate.And while it's up for debate whether you can "have it all," you certainly ought to be able to balance everything you've got and live a happy, fulfilling life. To help you out in that pursuit, we've gathered some of the best advice out there on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Read the tips below, and start implementing some of them today.

Managing Your Time

1. The most game-changing advice I’ve gotten is this: If you’re truly going to act on your priorities, you need to dedicate time to them. So, I took a weekly calendar and some crayons, and mapped out my priorities to create a “typical” week, with time dedicated to each of my priorities: exercise, work, family time, and so forth. I started with the “big rocks:” the most important and least flexible responsibilities (I learned this trick from Stephen Covey). For me, these were work and my children’s sports schedules. Then, I decided when I get my best work done. For example, I knew that my job required time for “deep-thinking” work, so I dedicated one day per week to be meeting-free. Alix Hughes2. One of the biggest struggles is fitting it all in to 24 hours. Waking up at 4 AM gives me extra hours in the day, and this quiet time allows me to complete projects before the house wakes up. Hannah Morgan3. To make time for hobbies, passions, and relationships outside of work, I've made sure to have a short version of what I'd ideally love to do for busy weeks. I'd rather have a nice long dinner with a friend if I can, but during a busy week, catching a 45-minute coffee during the day is better than not seeing friends at all. I love biking, but it requires more time than I have most weeks, so I've picked up running (reluctantly), since I can do it when I just have 20 minutes. Alex Cavoulacos @dailymuse reduce or eliminate multi-tasking. Be where you are!— kylie sachs (@tismoi) November 24, 20135. Instead of multi-tasking, I look for ways to overlap things. Best example: When my kids were little, I had no time for hobbies, but I was dying to try birdwatching. So I introduced it to my seven-year old son, thinking he might like it, too. He was hooked, and so we started doing birdwatching together. It became the perfect overlap of time together with a hobby for me. Kate White6. We need to elongate the time frame upon which we judge the balance in our life, but we need to elongate it without falling into the trap of the "I'll have a life when I retire, when my kids have left home, when my wife has divorced me, my health is failing, I've got no mates or interests left." A day is too short; "after I retire" is too long. There's got to be a middle way. Nigel Marsh

Taking Time for You

7. It's important to remember that free time doesn't have to be available time. In other words, just because Wednesday night is empty on your calendar, doesn't mean you have to say "yes" when your co-worker asks you to go to an event with her. It’s important to remind yourself that you can turn invitations down for no other reason than you want that time to yourself, that your free time can be just that—free. Erin Greenawald8. When I have a good chunk of time to myself, I sometimes feel obligated to use it to get other things done, like errands or phone calls—but I’ve learned that the only way to use that time to truly reduce my stress level is to do something totally for me. A yoga class or quick burst of exercise is a good method to calm your spinning head, or enjoy some light-hearted TV or an ice cream or coffee date with a friend. You could also spend an hour playing with the puppies at the pet store, indulging in the total silence of a library, or browsing for random treasures at a thrift store. Jessica Taylor9. I block out "me time" in the early evening. Even if I know that I'm going to get back online later and work, I realized that I'm a lot more likely to go to the gym, see friends, or cook myself a real dinner if I give myself 7-9 PM "off" to do those things before getting back online. If I finish all my work first, or even "just do my high priority work"—it's 11 PM before I stop, and I am realistically not going to go to the gym or call anyone up or even cook, I'm just going to finish my work for the night and crash. Melissa McCreery@dailymuse I use my lunchtime to do some fun stuff - short market/store trips current fave #worklifebalancetips— Kitchenbutterfly (@Kitchnbutterfly) November 23, 201311. Even if I’m feeling busy, I remind myself that time away from work and the computer is energizing and important. Scheduling downtime requires a combination of time management (deciding when else to get the work done), working ahead when possible (so I have more time later), and keeping a to-do list. Miriam Salpeter 

Having a Social Life

12. While you usually reserve fun things for the weekends, plan at least one enjoyable activity during the week. You'll be able to head into your work week with something to look forward to and have a way to blow off some steam if the week starts off too strong. Katie Douthwaite@dailymuse I look for activities that incorporate work and play so I can kill two birds with one stone, such as mixers and networking events — Desirée M. (@ImDesi) November 23, 201314. Schedule recurring social activities, like a monthly book club or weekly dinner with your best friends. By having regular activities like this written into your calendar, you'll be able to plan around them (instead of planning your social life around work).@dailymuse Set times for yourself. If you reserve an evening for plans with friends/family, you'll focus more during the day.— Melanie Albert (@melealbert) November 24, 2013

Managing Work

16. You’ll be hard pressed to find a boss who will object too much to you working on your off hours (unless she’s required to by law), but that same boss will be just as impressed if you can do the work in the eight (OK, 10) hours each day you’re there already. Make the most of the time you have in the office, and leave the rest for tomorrow. Jennifer Winter17. If you start telling people you need to leave at a certain time, you’ll be much more likely to do so. Make the commitment to yourself, and then share it with others: As you discuss plans and assignments throughout the day, tell your colleagues, “I’ve got to be out of here on time tonight, so if you need something, let me know by 3 PM.” Try this method one day, then another, and then the next. Eventually, you’ll retrain your colleagues to expect you to leave on time every day. Lea McLeod18. Ever find yourself staying at work because you don't have a reason not to? Make reasons to leave. Join groups or sign up for exercises classes that meet after work so you have to sign out at a reasonable hour. Make plans with friends ahead of time so you can't back out and just stick around the office.@dailymuse Methods of #renewal(meditation) coupled with finding projects in the work environment that are #enjoyable help maintain balance— Paul A. Mabelis (@CognitiveLibert) November 23, 201320. You have to plan when you'll leave the office from the beginning of the day. That means understanding what needs to get done for the day and getting it done first so you aren't scrambling after hours to finish up. Also, block out the last 20 minutes before you plan to leave to wrap up loose ends, so you aren't trying to send "one more email" after you were already supposed to head out of the office.21. Sometimes when you feel surrounded by work, it’s because, well, you’re surrounding yourself with work. So, be deliberate about taking time before work, after work, or on your lunch break to step away from the office. Call your significant other, your mom, or your best friend, and ask what’s going on with them, avoiding the temptation to discuss anything even remotely work-related. Your job may be your focus for the rest of the day, but for a few minutes, move it to the back burner and focus on something (anything) else. Sara McCord22. Consider some highlights of your perfect day. What would you really enjoy doing? What’s absolutely necessary for you to get done? Identify what tools or extras would make the mandatory work easier to complete. Aromatherapy while you grade papers? A powerful run? Figure out what can help you, and build it into your day. Natalie Jesionka

Enjoying Weekends and Vacation

23. Instead of saving all of your life chores for Sunday, get them out of the way as soon as possible, either by doing them first thing Saturday morning or dispersing them throughout the week. That way, instead of spending your last few hours of free time on Sunday night scrubbing the bathtub, you'll be able to fill it with something fun and relaxing. Katie Douthwaite24. Carve out some time on the weekends—at least a few hours, but ideally a whole day—to stay away from screens. Put your computer and phone away and turn off the TV, then do something physical or creative that you really love. Go for a run. Draw. Write. Your mind will be a little more refreshed and a little sharper by the end of it.25. I always faced a double-edged sword on the weekends: I loved the feeling of being ahead on Monday morning if I worked during the weekend, but I hated the feeling of losing any of my precious weekend to work. Then, I started doing some of the more mindless work on my plate while I watched a movie on Sunday nights. I still felt like I got a full weekend, but felt ahead of the game come Monday morning. Erin Greenawald@dailymuse Using my vacation time! For me traveling is relaxing and mentally enriching. I come back to work happier and more focused.— Brandi Kolmer (@brandikolmer) November 23, 201327. The nature of many jobs is that there will never be an easy time to take time off, no matter how well you plan for it in advance. But that's no reason to not go at all. It's in your employer's best interests to have well-rested and recharged employees, and vacation time is a benefit that you've earned, just like salary, so you should use it. So instead of waiting for the perfect time—which may never come along—decide that you will use your vacation time this year, and make the question one of what accommodations should be made, rather than whether accommodations can be made. Alison Green28. Before you leave for vacation, ask your boss if she expects you to check emails or listen to voice messages while you’re gone. While it’s often necessary to stay at least a little connected, make sure you proactively set some boundaries. Feel free to let your boss know that you’ll only be able to check your phone and email occasionally—say, once a day, or a few times a week. Most bosses will be fine if you only respond to critical messages until after you return to the office. Lynze Wardle Lenio29. If you don't have enough PTO to take a full vacation, try taking a day off here and there for a stay-cation or long weekend. It may not seem like much, but taking just a day or two to break out of the 9-to-5 grind can do wonders.

Making Time for Family

30. There is a phrase used by Hillary Clinton that stems from an African proverb: “It takes a village.” And it does! Getting comfortable with others lending you a hand helps not only to give you comfort that your kids are in good hands, but it helps take the stress away. I chose to have live-in help because I had an unpredictable schedule, lots of travel, late hours, and evening entertaining, and I couldn’t have someone who had to look at the clock or bus schedule. But no matter what type of babysitter, nanny, or daycare choices you make, accepting that you just cannot do it all, single-handedly, is the key. Cathie Black31. When my baby was five months old, my husband and I decided to sleep train him (which basically meant letting him cry it out for three nights in a row). Those nights were extremely hard, but the upside has been nothing short of amazing. Not only do I know that each night from 7:30 PM to 6:30 AM I'll have time to do whatever I want—eat dinner with my husband, catch up on email, watch House of Cards—but our son is so much more rested and in all around better spirits. I know sleep training can be controversial, but as a working parent, I have no doubt it was one of the best things I've done for myself, my relationship, and my baby. Dorothy McGivney32. If you or your parenting partner is able to web-surf at work, use your downtime to set up auto-ship services for the essentials: diapers, toilet paper, paper towels, and so on. Services like Amazon Prime and Diapers.com sell these items on the cheap, and they’ll be delivered to your door with free shipping. Rikki Rogers33. Flexible hours enabled by technology can allow parents to perform well at their jobs and take care of young children at the same time. If you're an employee, talk with your boss about how working from home could boost your productivity, remembering to share some specific examples of how your work will improve. Richard Branson

Getting Chores Done

34. Make your grocery run as efficient as possible by making a list coordinated to aisles or store sections. Take advantage of coupon apps (many grocery stores have them). And if the whole family has to come along, get everyone involved: If you can walk, you can shop. Rikki Rogers35. By doing my least favorite chore at the beginning of each week, it feels entirely more manageable, not to mention frees me of the burden throughout the rest of my week. The feeling of work burnout tends to increase as the week moves forward, so by frontloading your work week evenings with your least favorite tasks, you can reserve the more enjoyable work night activities for the end of the week. Monday is for laundry, Tuesday is for vacuuming and bills, Wednesday is for dry cleaning, Thursday is for a DVR marathon. And so on. Rachell Buell36. When trying to fit more in, minimize the amount of time doing anything you have to do. Try setting a goal to have dinner ready in 30 minutes or less. You'd be surprised how many things can be cooked in 25-30 minutes, and it's a surefire way of getting time back several times a week. Bonus points for cooking several meals' worth on Sunday night and only having five minutes of reheat time.37. Get creative with what chores you can outsource (and therefore avoid!). There are plenty of services out there that will take care of your least favorite tasks for you, from cleaning and cooking to laundry and shopping. Check out our list of tasks to outsource now to get you started Read the full article

How to Write an Obituary for Your Relationship

New Post has been published on http://www.healthgoesfemale.com/how-to-write-an-obituary-for-your-relationship/

How to Write an Obituary for Your Relationship

Are you struggling to find relationship closure after a breakup? Writing a “relationship obituary” will help heal your heart after breaking up with someone you love, miss, and feel like you can’t live without. I discovered the idea of writing an obituary for a relationship while revising How to Let Go of Someone You Love. It’s a fantastic way to heal after a breakup — especially if you feel like you haven’t had relationship closure. To tell you the truth, I prefer the word “legacy” when I think about writing a relationship obituary for closure. A legacy is about learning from the past, living in the present, and preparing for the future. But whether you call it a legacy or an obituary, writing is a healthy a way to honor your relationship and heal the pain of a breakup. The idea of writing a relationship obituary is healthy because it helps with remembering, saying goodbye, and letting go.

One of my most popular articles is How to Heal Your Heart Without Relationship Closure; so many women feel like their breakups didn’t bring the closure they need to move on. And the problem is that closure isn’t easy to get — especially if the ex-boyfriend or ex-husband doesn’t feel the need to say goodbye in a healthy way. If you’re struggling to move on after a breakup because of a lack of relationship closure, then writing an obituary for your relationship may be exactly what you need. How to Write a Relationship Obituary for Closure A legacy or obituary-writing activity is a wonderful way to honor and let go of someone you love. It’s a bittersweet exercise that you can keep forever, both in your heart and in an actual box of relationship mementos. Writing your relationship legacy is a process that hurts a little….or maybe it’ll hurt a lot…but it’ll be healing and interesting for you. You’ll learn more about yourself, your ex, your relationship, and the breakup — and this will give you strength and wisdom for your next relationship. Decide why you want to write a relationship obituary If you’re not clear on the reasons for writing a legacy to honor your relationship and breakup, then it won’t make sense to you. If it doesn’t make sense, then it won’t help you heal! So, tell me…why do you want to write an obituary for your relationship? What is your main purpose? Start by accepting that you’ll never really “get over” this breakup. Writing a relationship obituary won’t erase the pain or bring you the closure you need. The thing with all types of loss – whether it’s a breakup with a boyfriend or the death of a husband — is that you always carry remnants of the experience with you. You heal, you move on, you apply what you learned to new relationships…but your ex will always be part of your life. “I’ll never ‘get over’ my husband’s departure and I never want to,” says Michelle on 5 Gentle Ways to Stop Grieving and Start Letting Go. “I want to absorb him and our marriage, to absorb the energy and spirit of the man I lost. I’ve learned to cope with my loss and make peace with my husband’s leaving, but to ‘get over it’ diminishes the loss.” Hold on to the valuable lessons you learned You’ll never be the same after this breakup – and that’s okay. Better than okay, in fact! This relationship taught you to love, share, and care in a deeper way. Your heart, life, and other relationships have been enriched in a way that wasn’t possible before. You’ll never get over the end of this relationship, but you can honor the experience you had together. You can honor the bond you felt and create a different one. You can create a bond that even death or the worst breakup can’t end. Even if you made mistakes and have regrets about your relationship, you still learned valuable lessons. In fact, the more mistakes you made and regrets you have, the more potential you have for learning, growth, and wisdom for the future!

Before you start writing your relationship obituary, prepare to face the best and worst parts of yourself. This is part of healthy closure, and it will help you heal after a breakup. Write the legacy of your relationship How do you want to remember this relationship? You can include a wide range of different types of memories in your legacy or obituary. Write down your ex’s personality traits, physical characteristics, unique quirks, annoying habits, favorite hobbies, and best-loved foods. Include how he made you feel and how your life changed the day you met him. Nothing is too little, unimportant, or strange to include. Then, describe your relationship with your ex. What were some high points? Low points? Write about the most emotional and noteworthy moments and memories that stand out to you. Don’t just list them; actually describe how you felt, what you saw, where you were, and why you miss those experiences with him.  Write through the pain, anger, disappointment, and tears. If you’re stuck, read the obituaries section of a newspaper, or look up “relationship obituaries” online. Use those ideas to create your own legacy. Honor your relationship — and who you were in the relationship — by writing an obituary that extends beyond the life you had as a couple. Remember who you were before and during your relationship In the second part of your obituary, honor yourself. Celebrate who you were with him: your best qualities, quirky characteristics, special surprises and silly moments. Were you different with your ex? How did he change you, mold you, shape your personality or life? Who were you with him? Who are you without him? Since no experience is all good or all bad, you were probably a little bit better because of your relationship with him, and a little bit worse. This is often the case: the people we love bring out both the best and the worst in us. Writing a relationship obituary is an act of closure and remembrance. You’ll feel cleansed and refreshed afterward – especially if you’re struggling to emotionally detach from someone you care about. Yes, you’ll cry and feel the pain of loving and losing him…but with those tears will come healing. You may remember your relationship with sadness and pain right now, but that will change. You’ll recover if you take time to work through the grief. You can decide if you want to remember your ex — and who you were in this relationship — with sadness and grief, or peace and acceptance. You can choose painful memories, or warm ones. Or both! It takes courage and strength to remember your relationship in a positive, healthy, life-affirming way…but if you can dig in and find that place in your heart, you will feel a sense of peace and joy that passes all understanding. Share your relationship obituary Bring your relationship — and the breakup — out into the light! Feel free to share your obituary in the comments section below. We won’t judge, ask questions, or make you feel bad. This could be an important step towards bringing closure to your relationship, because the more honest and real you are, the more you can accept about yourself and others. And acceptance brings healing. How do you feel about writing an obituary as a way to find relationship closure? If you’ve already written about the breakup in your own private journal, would you find it healing to rewrite in terms of a legacy or an obituary? I’d love to hear your thoughts; feel free to comment below.

Cold War 2.0: US sanctions on Russia based on zero evidence of ‘meddled’ ‘hacked’ election (undefined terms), lies to cover regime change in Syria, ongoing fear/distraction from expanding illegal US rogue state empire

*hyperlinks/videos live at source* “The near unanimous votes for the sanctions legislation in Congress represent the strong will of the American people to see Russia take steps to improve relations with the United States. We hope that there will be cooperation between our two countries on major global issues and these sanctions will no longer be necessary.” ~ Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, representing the US as purely virtuous Six minutes of CNN propagandizing “election meddling,” and further regime changes with Representative Will Hurd. Hurd worked for the CIA over 9 years as an undercover spy; that is, embedded to professionally lie for political purposes: 36 minutes of CrossTalk discussing “Cold War 2.0” from US claims without evidence of Russian “election hacking” and distraction from US illegal “regime changes”: Essential context: When Americans are told an election is defined by touching a computer screen without a countable receipt that can be verified, they are being told a criminal lie to allow election fraud. This is self-evident, but Princeton, Stanford, and the President of the American Statistical Association are among the leaders pointing to the obvious (and here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here). Again, no professional would/can argue an election is legitimate when there is nothing for anyone to count. The facts show Bernie Sanders won the Democratic Primary election, and claims by Democratic "leadership" of Russian election "meddling" are without factual documentation. US military now illegally occupy eight bases in Syria (and here), with escalating bombing of Syria and Iraq of over 4,000 bombs/month and over 84,000 since 2014. The US acknowledges ~500 civilian deaths from these bombs, with independent count of ~750 in just in June 2017. Among dozens of independent writers, I’ve documented that all “reasons” for wars on Iran, Syria, and Russia are easily proved lies (recently, here, here, here, and going back to 2005), with US Department of illegal Wars of Aggression (so-called “Defense”) claiming to have “lost” $65,000 for every US household. The US is a literal rogue state empire led by neocolonial looting liars. The history is uncontested and taught to anyone taking comprehensive courses. If anyone has any refutations of this professional academic factual claim for any of this easy-to-read and documented content, please provide it. Rogue state empire is the most accurate term to describe the US for the following reasons: People around the world view the US as the greatest threat to peace; voted three times more dangerous than any other country. The data confirm this conclusion: Since WW2, Earth has had 248 armed conflicts. The US started 201 of them. These US-started armed attacks have killed ~30 million and counting; 90% of these deaths are innocent children, the elderly and ordinary working civilian women and men. The US has war-murdered more than Hitler’s Nazis. The total deaths caused by rogue state empire for resource control (natural and human) in the last 20 years is ~400 million, more than all total wars and violence in all recorded Earth history. US ongoing lie-started and Orwellian-illegal Wars of Aggression require all US military and government to refuse all war orders because there are no lawful orders for obviously unlawful wars. Officers are required to arrest those who issue obviously unlawful orders. And again, those of us working for this area of justice are aware of zero attempts to refute this with, “War law states (a, b, c), so the wars are legal because (d, e, f).” All we receive is easy-to-reveal bullshit. The destruction of nearly all rights lawfully guaranteed in the US Bill of Rights within the US Constitution, and in Orwellian inversion of limited government. Corporate media are criminally complicit through constant lies of omission and commission to "cover" all these crimes. Historic tragic-comic empire is only possible through such straight-face lying, making our Emperor's New Clothes analogy perfectly chosen. The top three benefits each of monetary reform and public banking total ~$1,000,000 for the average American household, and would be received nearly instantly. Please read that twice and imagine the connection between having a rogue state empire to enrich an oligarchy combined with internal financial manipulation to maximize those parasitical riches. Now look to verify for yourself. Iran has never threatened to "wipe Israel off the map" and only has IAEA-verified legal energy and medicine programs with nuclear materials. Trump and corporate media continues and escalates easily-verified lies to threaten more illegal war on Iran. Israel engages in lie-started and illegal War of Aggression on Gaza; ironically the largest concentration camp in world history. This is also easy to verify. Breaking history for a future brighter than we can imagine: .01% arrests for OBVIOUS crimes centered in lie-started illegal Wars of Aggression, looting, constant lying Given the prima facie evidence, it's unreasonable for Americans to "hope for change" from Donald Trump's "leadership." We the People must demand .01% arrests or continue to serve as minions and work animals to rogue state empire. Until .01% arrests prove real leadership to stop ongoing slaughter of millions of human beings, harm to billions, and looting of trillions, it is only reasonable for Americans to embrace the evidence only lightly summarized in this article to conclude ongoing illegal .01% empire under a new "teleprompter reader-in-chief," lying psychopathic puppet, oligarchic tool on the Right hand of one vicious imperial political body. The categories of crime include: Wars of Aggression (the worst crime a nation can commit). Likely treason for lying to US military, ordering unlawful attack and invasions of foreign lands, and causing thousands of US military deaths. Crimes Against Humanity for ongoing intentional policy of poverty that’s killed over 400 million human beings just since 1995 (~75% children; more deaths than from all wars in Earth’s recorded history). US military, law enforcement, and all with Oaths to support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, face an endgame choice: Demand arrests, with those with lawful authority to enact it. An arrest is the lawful action to stop apparent crimes, with the most serious crimes documented here meaning the most serious need for arrests. Watch the US escalate its rogue state crimes that annually kill millions, harm billions, and loot trillions. In just 90 seconds, former US Marine Ken O’Keefe powerfully states how you may choose to voice “very obvious solutions”: arrest the criminal leaders (video starts at 20:51, then finishes this episode of Cross Talk): 3-minute video: Police, Military – Was your Oath sincere? ** Note: I make all factual assertions as a National Board Certified Teacher of US Government, Economics, and History, with all economics factual claims receiving zero refutation since I began writing in 2008 among Advanced Placement Macroeconomics teachers on our discussion board, public audiences of these articles, and international conferences. I invite readers to empower their civic voices with the strongest comprehensive facts most important to building a brighter future. I challenge professionals, academics, and citizens to add their voices for the benefit of all Earth’s inhabitants. ** Carl Herman is a National Board Certified Teacher of US Government, Economics, and History; also credentialed in Mathematics.

What does Datz think of his father? What impact did he have on his life? [x]

✨ Because his father died when he was younger, Datz doesn’t have a very strong sense of who he was or how they might’ve gotten along when he was older, but he does still think of him as having been good and noble based on how he was remembered by his mother. But he generally thinks of him more just in terms of the father/son relationship itself and the ways his life could have been enriched by having a father figure than as a real person; he grew up valuing paternal relationships very highly based on what he felt his own childhood was missing, and that idealization only cemented watching Dhurke raise Nahyuta and Apollo.

✨ However, he’s always felt a weird sort of resentment for his father for the way he died, and it definitely influenced the way he ultimately wound up living his life. His father worked in construction and died in a preventable accident building roads in rural Bhutan – it made Datz very aware of mortality and the the reality that people could die suddenly in senseless circumstances, and even as a child it never sat right. Baba died doing the drudgery of his job?! Mamu could talk for days about the things he believed in, and he died in an accident while building a road?! Who cares about roads! If he had to die, he should have faced it heroically, giving his life for something that mattered, that was worth remembering!

✨ That then bore a sort of complex in him that he still has to this day. Datz accepted early on that he could die at any time for potentially stupid reasons, so since then he’s always felt the strong need to have a cause to pursue, so he can maximize the chances that he’ll have an honourable death and can be remembered proudly. If he has to die, it’s going to be for something that matters, and he’ll be going down fighting. That was one of the things that pushed him to join the military, and then the Defiant Dragons when he decided that it was more worth risking his life for; now that the revolution is over, he’s out a cause and is kind of floundering without having something he would be proud to die doing.

Did he like school?

✨ Hated it. Datz hasn’t ever been the kind of person that can thrive in a classroom environment, and he was immensely bored by school. He was way more interested in doodling and being the class clown than listening to teachers, so the faculty hated him, too.

✨ His mother did everything she could and made every sacrifice to ensure that Datz could have the most opportunities and the best possible chance of success when he grew up, and insisting on his education and good performance in school was part of that, so he at least did okay at it and managed to stick with it long enough to graduate – but after that, he was old enough to decide what to do with his own life and fucked off immediately, never to step into a learning institution again. (Another reason to join the military: an excuse not to go to university.)

What are his hobbies/interests?

✨ Datz is usually too busy on the run or getting into trouble to devote time to having real hobbies, but he’s still got a large and varied set of interests and things he likes. Skydiving/paragliding, making explosives, and working out are probably the things he enjoys most often, but he also likes knitting and hunting and fishing and cricket and art and photography and travelling and doing scary things with knives and… many other things.

✨ He also loves listening about what other people are passionate about and trying new things, so it’s very easy to get him interested in someone else’s hobbies, or at least get him to encourage them.

DARK MEDITATIONS ON MAY 35TH

(4th June)

David Westfield presents The Disconnection. A monthly seminar:-)

World news and basic facts, tapped from the universal mind, but first a message from the Akashic Record....Down to the burning wire once again, veering from one extreme to the other does not count as balance. The captain of your relationship with Non Self. Voices in choral sequence pulling you out of body. Unable to process information while focusing on it. Distance is depth. Does this path have a heart? Distract the mind elsewhere, throw a question backwards and think of something other. The answer appears, looking for a sign...it says No Road Ahead. Dead End... and another pathway opens as soon as you accept this.  Dream until you awaken, dream until it is real, the circle opens out...  

At that point you realise that that which you are truly summoning is another aspect of your own energy. You truly leave spirit prints in other realms. Thought, projected with an aim or not, is stored and takes on it's own life. Formless contact and contacted form, acknowledge all your sides. Trust me, I'm an idiot. Having fun spotting the fnords...Did you make it through those two paragraphs?  

Due to finances seemingly out of my control (useless magician) I have put an almost temporary halt to the new double cd. And many other things. We shall see whether abstinence makes for a better clarity of visualisations... although the deep set hunger for a nightly obliteration might well interrupt that. My claws and teeth have returned. Want to do everything I know I shouldn't. All of it, love making a collage out my pleasures. The Ego demands temporary satisfactions to deny the Soul. Luxury...  

Let's try drinking water, breathing deep and slow and allow the sunset rays to enter instead. Or not. It might be too late.

304 songs recorded in Prague and I would exchange all of them, the time and energy of their joy for a child of my own, in a heartbeat. In an amphetamine second. Laugh like a giggling child or a Buddhist monk. (stong pa nyid du gyur.... Everything becomes Emptiness).

Got the date of the Million Marijuana March wrong last month, just goes to show how the eagle talons of my memory have been blunted by various means. The past always catches up because there is only Now. Etc. Hmm, on to the Net for a spell...

Dark Meditations on social media, throw them into the satire...throw them to the Wolf.

Foul traitors to the human spirit. Who took the jam out of your doughnut? There you stood on the edge of your feather, expecting to butterfly but regressed to caterpillar. But why get hung up on negativity? Unless you enjoy auto erotic asphyxiation. Normality follows...in a Bitch's Brew. Hunger.

'Why be bleak when you can be Blake?' Jonhn Balance.  

'The self reflecting image of a narcotised mind'. Gira.

Variations on the politics of dominance... 'Antennae tuned to inhuman vibrations'.  Duck Fart calling Cheese Boy out....you guys kill me, how small do your penises have to be for this braggadocio? How about a naked sumo fight to the death in a large tub of butter instead? Just a charming vision.... Glad Le Pen lost, happy that France after all the attacks still has not swung too far Right, shame for all of Putin's cash seeded into her campaign...you're not going to get that investment back baldy. But all your other shit stirring is going so well, you must be proud. Meanwhile here in the Czech Republic, the three main leaders become increasingly foul and ridiculous, a president whose every utterance is despicable and a businessman politician telling the Big Lies as he rises and rises into the rotten stink of filth.  

If you don't stir the cream, it turns into scum.

I first came to Prague several years after the Velvet Revolution and of course I am still an alien outsider, but it is clear after 22 years just how well the leaders have studied and learned from the West. Pulled between populism, and Putin, they choose enrichments and power above actually serving. Say it again for the 93rd time; Only a revolution of the Spirit will win. Silent and beautiful, private and secret, one soul at a time. Remember the Laws of Phase Transition. Or as they say here; 'Truth and love will overcome'. Hold on to let go...

Still irritates me that way too many of the young in rebellion against the usual 'adult' right wing thinking, go for Socialism and left wing rubbish. All those in organisations on demonstrations, funded by those who have NO interest in 'power to the people', but do care about power FROM the people. Bastards swindling suckers. Even the majority of those who disbelieve in mainstream religion end up in various sects/cults who exist solely/SOULy to vampire money and energy from the desperate vacuum created by a lack of personal self discovery and internal private faith.

Speaking of which....

The Campaign for the hearts and minds of the European folk dream...in Britain...

I remain (arf) patriotic of the energy, the magic in England but it has been buried, smothered, dormant. Again, as an outsider, it is more apparent each time I return to the island, the changes are more visible. As unbalanced as I am, it causes an ocean of sadness, then a blind rage of hatred. Then, peace...just biorhythms, moon waves and electromagnetic impulses on chemicals eh? Or something. All will evolve... But...

humans eh? What can you do? We are all in the ark together, for a while.

Street corners all over Prague with servants of The Watchtower...mobile billboards with pictures and stories of 'The Riders of the Apocalypse'. (Isn't it against the law the to disturb the peace?) Sorry smiling ones, but I just won't swallow the coming of the Lord. I love the bible, you couldn't make it up, couldn't make it more ridiculous but they are having dammed good attempt. Standing around trying to scare people - as if we don't have enough shit to worry about. Trying to convince that the end is coming (and looking forward to it because they will be SAVED) and that it will be horrible. Possibly, most of us know this already, which is why we spend so much time on various destructive hobbies to make us feel immortal.  

On better days I would stop and 'engage' Jehovah's Voyeurs in debate, the Mormons, the Scientologists et al... free entertainment...wonderful conversations. I have been in mental asylums where the reasoning makes far more sense. Once again, 'Only the madman is absolutely sure'. I have doubts about Everything (except music) so that means I am sane and pure eh? And you, spending your valuable time speed reading this, how about you? Feeling good?

Tattooed above the gates of Hell:

'Abandon all Hope, all ye who Enter Her'

Last words from Aleister Crowley; 'I am perplexed'. Wonder if he was surprised by all the unconditional Love which appeared just before the 'end'? Getting old is not for carrots, or was that cowards? Memories get distorted when this ancient in Paradise. Arf. So many charming negative possibilities, you need the detachment and wisdom of a sage to overcome and accept 'It is what it is'. And in doing so, 'it' changes'. 'Perception, use it or lose it. As Mr R. Bach's Messiah's Handbook said. It also said; 'Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours'.  

Hmmm...Wonder where all those who emptied their bank accounts, sold their houses and sat on a mountain waiting for The End in December 1999 are these days? Wishing it had been or much wiser now? Would loved there to have been a live camera on them as the clock clicked to a minute past midnight on the first day of '2000', close ups of each face, zooming into their eyes.

'There's some people on Earth, they live in separate minds'.....'The past and future were simultaneous'. Gira.

'It is difficult, if not impossible to insult a beautiful woman. She remains beautiful and the insult recoils.' It is also impossible to insult a self acknowledged loser. They know and the words mean nothing. The insult only shows that the one who considers themselves above such lowly matters will inevitably be in the same sinking boat sooner

or later. This gives a dark satisfaction.

This year, 'M', a virtual assistant similar to Siri on Apple and Alexa on Amazon has been launched on Facebook in the US. Cannot be disabled, only muted or ignored...it can listen to every conversation on the site and make suggestions about payments, travel etc. Zuckerberg looking more stressed by the month because he is working for the bad guys... possibly why he seeks to do so much for charity in order to appease his conscience. Or not. But the chances of Facebook resisting the CIA's mass surveillance scheme is beyond unlikely. Oh yes, and Facebook's own figures show that there are more 18 year old males using it than are actually alive on this planet. Great research guys, well done. Gullible.  

Wonder if Snowden (follow him on Twitter boys and girls) has been questioned in Russia about his work. Guess. He did the right thing for sure, the problem with democracies pretending to be the good guys is that when they cross over in the name of security on an hourly basis, they really cross over. At some point they only become the devil you think you know. However, given the choice between being ruled by China, Russia or the poison caliphate of daesh, I will still take Europe or even America. I'd much rather have Buddha on the astral, beaming humour and wisdom, or the All Seeing Eye but them is the breaks we get. Every state is a bastard. Some are actually worse than others...

The United Altered States of Earth. That would work. Eh?

Which brings me to May 35th, (as those who used to write about it on social media in China called it, to avoid being arrested) also known as June 4th, the date of the Tienanmen massacres, another disgraceful stain on the group soul of humanity, perpetuated in the name of control. May the memories never be erased from the collective mind. The beginning of the chaos in Syria reminded me of Peking... students and shopkeepers asking for a little more correct behaviour and freedom from their loving leaders, mown down by tanks. Not terrorists, not aggressive agitators, but normal, regular people. SHAME.  

Good to see the former chief of the FBI (sacked by Duck Fart for speaking truth to power) confirming the Russian influence on the recent election in America. Not as if the US has never done this in other countries though eh? Daffy Donald the 'straight talker' is probably overjoyed at having the NSA at his disposal. Straight talker? This man cannot even form coherent sentences...too much time tweeting can do that. Remember Tony Blair describing himself as 'a pretty straight sort of a guy'?? ARF. Reminds me of Hunter S Thompson epithet about President Nixon; 'This guy was so crooked he had to screw his pants on every morning'.  

Duck Fart called the ex boss 'crazy...a real nut job'. Seems reasonable enough eh? A prerequisite for the top job of such a serious agency. A day later, two of those

mentioned in the FBI's case of the Kremlin's pupeteering met POTUS in the White House... without journalists or tapes etc. Not suspicious at all. Impeach him now. And as for Duck Fart's statement that the suicide bomber in Manchester, England was a 'evil loser'....Is this really an adult male speaking?   Almost wept to see a photo of him in Bethlehem, Israel... (getting tips for his Mexican wall no doubt) his motorcade passing a poster with the words 'The City of Peace Welcomes the Man of Peace'. As Dylan said, quoting from another source '...sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.'.... This is NOT the guy to calm things down, build bridges and make all the children sing with joy. And that's enough of the news/ the olds.  

Admired this month have been PJ Harvey (one of the finest females ever to come from Britain, a beautiful talent and passion) Quentin Tarantino, the absolute genius of Wayne Shorter, truly touched by God. Zappa again, Coil forever, Jaz Coleman's first symphony, the Kammerflimmer Kolektief, Savages and Crass, last of the true punks who lived what they shouted about.

'There is no authority but yourself'.

So...did 'God' lie when it said if you eat the apple, you will surely die'? According to the infallible Bible, Adam and Eve ate and died not. So 'Satan' told the truth? You are already making up your own mind. Happy re-programming. Don't forget kids, the Illuminati are on our side:-) Good luck with the discipline of ritual and projection/ internalisation. See you in the interdimesions....Enjoy the summer of Love...the war for peace is an ancient one.  

If I had half a brain, I'd be dangerous eh?  

Stay well.

Earth Day 2017

Our world is a beautiful place and it has sustained everything living on it for millions of years. Although our presence has done much damage to it, we still have a chance to change it. The wonderful thing that’s happening today is that people are becoming more aware about the needs of our environment and are showing signs of willingness to make a change.

With April 22nd right around the corner, and a deep seated passion for environmental affairs and the health of our oceans, I felt compelled to write a series of posts about our planet and how we, as regular citizens can ensure its stable existence for years to come. Whether you want (yes, note I write “want” rather than can, because you absolutely can) to commit a large contribution to the cause, or are willing to change one simple everyday task, we can all make a difference. There is simply no excuse.

Anyone that knows me, knows how strongly I feel about advocating this topic. What got my gears turning?

HOW DID I GET HERE? My interests in this topic sparked in 2013 when I went diving in the Turks and Caicos for the second time, with only 2 years in between. I had been talking up this location to my friends. They were a tad opposed to the possibility of a shark being around as there was my first time. I managed to get a good picture with it. The recollections in my mind of the coral reefs along Grand Turks renowned drop off sea wall was what convinced them to join me in my risky adventures. I was alarmed by the difference in coral reefs from my first dive to the second. Jumping into a bleached reef that was once flourishing with colour and fish was shocking and though I still feel other parts of Grand Turk are prime dive locations in the Carribbean, this was my first encounter with the changes our oceans have been enduring since the age of human industrialization.

In 2014, Sylvia Earl, “The Mother of the oceans” released a documentary called Mission Blue. This is life changing people! It Is about legendary oceanographer, marine biologist, environmentalist and National Geographic Explorer Sylvia Earle’s work to date, and her campaign to create a global network of protected marine sanctuaries. She speaks at length on the damage we have caused our oceans and in turn our entire life sustaining ecosystem in simply 3 generations. It explained exactly what I saw in Grand Turk less than a year before. How did I not even realize this was happening? Why were we not made aware years ago? Here we are now, in 2017’s adolescence and our environmental crisis seemed to have snuck up on the general population. Why? Because we have had leaders in the past not recognize our industrial and commercial actions as threats. They would rather invest in oil and coal production, building an economy that relied on it. It’s because our oceans have been the surrogate carrying our damages; because the oceans are highly undiscovered territory that many feel is invincible. It’s because our media is far too focused on other topics then Earth. Heavy topic- the whole reason for our existence. No one likes to talk about it… Ahhh, Ignorance is bliss. We can change this.

Does anyone remember years ago when the issue of Global Warming was raised and shot down as a hoax? Well.. Not so much a hoax now that we are having to implement a carbon tax to reduce emissions and take drastic financial measures for the quick implementation of alternative solutions in wind and solar power- something we should have embraced years ago. All the while, my Facebook feed continues to have people fighting this movement every step of the way. Why? Well folks, because no.one.talked.about.this.sooner. So, without further ado, I will talk about it now :)

I’ve always been an avid outdoors gal. At the age of 2, I could swim freely. I adore the feeling of it to this day. By the age of 4, I was adamant in taking up a family hobby and food source- fishing. I told my Papa that I didn’t want the “red and white bobber” on my fishing rod. I knew how to feel the fish and just wasn’t having it. The real kind of fishing.. not the overfishing methods that we’ve adapted in the past decade. At the age of 6, I was catching snakes, frogs, turtles and anything else I could in a nearby provincial park- just for mere interest in them. Researching them, feeling their textures, watching their movements then releasing them. By 7, I was captivated by killer whales and anything that had fins really. I spent the next 20 years of my life accumulating knowledge of them, with wide eyed fascination. My parents took my brothers and I to Marine Land in Niagara Falls after watching Free Willy- bad idea- I cried profusely. At 7 years old I already felt strongly that hoarding these enchanting, highly intelligent creatures in a tiny pool for our amusement was barbaric. By 8, I was hiking anywhere I could. I knew every tree, every rocky path and creek in my home town. I collected leaves, plants and flowers and pressed them in books, starting my own personal botany collection. By 10, I began noticing the effects of all the trash I was finding in the forest and along the beaches. I started bringing bags on my hikes to collect anything I could for proper disposal. By 14 I was out in the water or in the woods nearly everyday, just to pass time, observing the inner workings of nature with my first boyfriend, Rob. He shared the outdoor exploration bug, and we rarely spent time inside. We would lay in the golden fields on the edge of the forest waiting for deer to walk by in families- unaware of our presence. We would remain as silent as possible, so we could experience things you can only bare witness to when you’re part of the land. By 16, I took up water sports- wake boarding mainly. You wouldn’t believe the things in the lake I’ve dodged on my board. Everything seems to end up there. The list could go on. I went on to travel 13 countries and counting, swimming in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the North Sea, Adriatic Sea and the North American Great Lakes. Ive swam with wild sharks and stingrays, explored ancient underground cave systems in the Yucatan Peninsula, bungee jumped in Serbia, whale watched in Vancouver and Quebec, hiked the Scottish highlands, chased waterfalls and mountains up to Whistler, dived in the waters of nearly every Caribbean island. I’ve had wonderful life affirming memories on our planet. Memories I hope to share with my children and grandchildren one day.

* DID YOU KNOW…?* - 80% of the earths forests are gone. - Most disposable diapers take 500 years to decompose - 40% of all bottled water sold internationally is bottled tap water - Aluminum can be recycled continuously- yassss people- forever! Recycling 1 single aluminum can saves enough energy to power one tv for 3 hours. - Plastics kill approx 1 million sea creatures annually. In fact, we have caused the formation of a “garbage waste island”, mainly plastics that floats in our oceans the size of India, Europe and Mexico combined. Every single plastic item ever made still exists on this earth. It cannot fully decompose. Scary stuff.

WHAT DOES EARTH DAY REPRESENT? “Ermmmm- a day we are asked to refrain from using energy for 1 hour?” Good guess, but not quite.

Each year, all over the planet, Earth Day—April 22—marks the anniversary of the modern environmental movement in 1970. This day gave a voice to emerging consciousness, channeling the energy of the anti-war protest movement and putting environmental concerns on the front page after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California.

On April 22,1970, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

Earth Day 1970 achieved a rare political alignment, enlisting support from Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, city slickers and farmers, tycoons and labor leaders. By the end of that year, the first Earth Day had led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. “It was a gamble-but it worked.”

50 YEARS LATER… Much like 1970, Earth Day 2010 came at a time of great challenge for the environmental community. Climate change deniers in high government, well-funded oil lobbyists, reticent politicians, a disinterested public, and a divided environmental community all contributed to the narrative—cynicism versus activism. Despite these challenges, Earth Day prevailed. Much has changed, but we can do far more. In recent years, this is hard not to notice. Our environment has forced many to recognize it’s changing of age, leading to the many initiatives in play today and the push for change to happen NOW on a global scale.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? Stay tuned- my next series of posts will be about the active changes I’ve made to lower my carbon footprint and simple ways you can join in the action. Let’s re-write Earth day together- I think 1970 Earth Day proves that with a unified voice and passion of the people, we can makes things happen. No “click to donate here” box in this cause, you can fight this from your own home. By simply reading this in its entirety, you’re investing in your future. By taking any little action you can, you are donating to yourself. We are all entrepreneurs in creating a life worth passing to future generations, enriched with lions and tigers and bears- oh my! And whales- all the whales.

Thanks for tuning in. Cheers and god bless xx Jessi
