In the ever-expanding tapestry of the universe, the recent revelations in quantum mechanics and quantum science have ignited a fervor of imagination and inquiry. As we peer through the veil of reality, a gateway to Proxima Centauri b—a planet that mirrors Earth in so many ways—beckons us to explore its potential. This newfound knowledge has propelled humanity into a realm of possibilities, where the dream of a second home emerges not merely as fantasy but as a plausible future. With Earth facing unprecedented challenges, from climate crises to overpopulation, the concept of 'Planet B' transcends mere escape; it becomes a beacon of hope. As our thoughts race with the implications of life on Proxima, we envision a world where humanity can thrive once more, nurturing the essence of existence in a new celestial cradle.
Poem
In whispers of stars, the secrets unfold,
A dance of the atoms, a tale yet untold,
Through quantum realms where the shadows entwine,
We glimpse at a future where destinies align.
Proxima calls with its enigmatic light,
A sanctuary awaits in the velvet of night.
With dreams woven rich in the fabric of space,
We seek out a home, a new kind of grace.
Haikus
Stars twinkle above,
Proxima's shores beckon us,
Hope's new dawn arises.
Quantum dreams take flight,
Life blooms on a distant world,
A chance to restart.
In the void we reach,
Hearts yearning for a new dawn,
Planet B awaits.

The Xero Product Team Unconference: an annual opportunity for product teams to share knowledge, collaborate and exchange ideas.
Of the ten sephirot crystals, understanding is rather important for a society to come and accept each other they must know the way each other lives. Understanding the villain is the way the hero overcomes his foe and finally either converts him to good or destroys him for the good of all! Understanding is the way to friendship and unity as well as true fellowship, when we don't understand someone we will fear them completely or refuse to associate with them! Someone who opens up to all knowledge of the world and of the spirit he will be able to be at peace with them for as long as they accept him and he too in return!

From 2008 to 2012 the ILO collaborated with 16 microfinance institutions to test a range of approaches to foster social impact through the delivery of innovative financial and non-financial services. Eliminating child labour, fostering the formalization of enterprises, reducing vulnerability and enhancing business performance through improved working conditions – these are decent work objectives that MFIs addressed in the framework of the “Microfinance for Decent Work” (MF4DW) action research programme. The results highlighted one key message: that MFIs can achieve desired results if they identify an issue and then focus on that area to help their clients. On December 4, 2015, a knowledge sharing workshop was organized in New Delhi to discuss these findings.

From my parents, I didn’t learn how to have or be a friend.
I didn’t learn to trust people.
I didn’t learn how to stick with a person, even if they are unpleasant or difficult, or to work at a relationship even if it is imperfect.
I learned how to be alone.
I learned how to mistrust.
I learned how to fear and to look for rejection.
I learned how to use people to get what I needed and wanted.
I learned how to break promises. I learned to lie, mostly to myself.
I learned to be afraid, to find comfort in being alone, to be anxious, and to be unpredictable.
I learned to look strong, while I covered my fears with work, or illness, or alcohol, or sarcasm, or wit, or intelligence, or knowledge and arrogance, or competence, or whatever was near that made it go away, for a time.
I didn’t learn how to need, to depend on others, to be open, to give and take. Me, me, me! Always, what mattered was how everything impacts me!
I learned how to take from and use people — I didn’t think I had anything to give back.
Isolation equaled strength somehow in my parents. Fear people, because they will let you down, hurt you, disappoint you, or even need you too much.
I didn’t learn from my parents and what I did, I am trying to unlearn.

Further reflections written on Tuesday, July 13 ...
Ah, the wretchedness of focusing on yourself and your internal distress and grief. Upon further thought I am truly ashamed. How self-centered these thoughts are and how sorry I feel for myself at times. Yes, all that happened but I also know, without a doubt, that what I learned and didn’t from my parents has made me the person I am today.
If anything, in the midst of my selfishness of thought, I am assured that I am not them. I am my own person. And although I am disgusted and ashamed of my parents’ behavior (and my own) at times, it came from their own pain and disappointment with their parents. My parents did not feel loved by their families, not a little, not a lot,seemingly not at all. And although intellectually I know I was loved, it always came with a sense of conditions, whether spoken or not, that I could not live up to. Not a little. Not a lot. Not at all.
I have made many, many mistakes already in my life. My addiction to work at one point in my life, and even my giving in to an addiction to alcohol, and came from lineage of broken people. Strength in the broken places was a mantra my father lived and I think he believedbut somehow he never changed; he never put a stop to passing on his pain, fear, isolation, and disappointments.
If I have any strength it comes from naming the sin of my selfishness. To continue on hurting others, or even blaming, would be the ultimate lapse of character and so I take my weaknesses, my awareness of what I did not learn, and what I did and reach out. For out of my fear, distrust and isolation come a raging and inconsolable need for Place. For Belonging. For a sense of Home, if you will, that I never knew as a child but crave as an adult. As I reach and extend my heart to others, I am trusting that we will each be strengthened by the risk-taking.
If it feels like jumping off a cliff, the terror unimaginably vivid, I am even more resolved! As I get outside of my doubts and fears, I can do something else with my life! Sometimes that is as simple as answering the phone, returning a phone call or email, replying lovingly to an inquiry and a revealing a little more of myself, or more importantly caring enough to ask questions of others.
Isolation only brings what I seem to always be looking for, which is ‘proof’ of others’ betrayal. I want others to reach toward me! What I am learning is to get outside of myself, to consider others before myself. Oh,I don’t do it perfectly, or even regularly, or even often enough; for the impulse to close in on myself is almost as natural as breathing. And yet although I breathe, that is not being alive. That is death in itself, to live hour-by-hour for myself and my own needs. It is to others that I am called or else this life in not worthwhile, not a life worth living. And I do want to live fully, as complete and whole as I can be.
In the end, this isn’t about my parents.
It ends with my parents and begins with,
jumping off the cliff,
today. Life in free fall is scary, but pretty great!

ART conservator restorer Frederik Cnockaert is the expert craftsman of the highest quality see more www.art-restaurater.fr contact info@kerat.be
His applied arts Studio produces also high quality artisan paintings, commission portraits and made to order applied works painting Techniques. Frederik Cnockaert. Restoration of paintings, sculptures and art objects. Fine Art Conservation since 2002.
In Wervik, hidden between the greenery, lies the studio where Frederik Cnockaert restores artworks. It is a large building with plenty of light and space to freshen up, restore or conserve the various types of artworks he receives. Cnockaert learnt the trade at specialized schools and gained an IMPRESSIVE amount of work experience at important museums in Flemish cities famous for their art. The most beautiful piece he has ever been allowed to restore was a painting by Theodoor van Loon, a contemporary of Rubens.
Restoring artworks requires knowledge of all types of painting techniques and materials, and the experience to be able to REPAIR the damage flawlessly. Frederik Cnockaert has both. At the Higher Institute for Fine Arts Saint-Luke's in Ghent, he got his degree in Monumental Fine Arts. He went on to receive a postgraduate in conservation and restoration of artefacts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, also in Ghent. At the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, he perfected his gold leaf techniques and mastered restoring polychromy on statues. With his studies, Cnockaert could have also become a fine arts painter. But it doesn't appeal to him, it isn't his calling. Restoring is. After his studies, he restored paintings for the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Industrial Archaeology and Textiles (MIAT) in Ghent. He went on to work in museums in Antwerp and in Bruges, he was the conservator-restorer for several historical city museums, such as the Groenige Museum, the Gruuthuse Museum and many others, for eight years. The time was right In 2002, he established himself in Wervik as an independent restorer, with his company Kunst En Restauratie ATelier (Art and Restoration Studio), shortened to Kerat. The timing was perfect and the assignments were soon coming in. Since then, he works on old and modern artefacts: paintings on canvas, copper, paper or wood and their frames; statues in stone, plaster or wood, polychrome or not; and various paper media. He cleans, retouches, replaces varnishes, removes old repairs, treats against woodworm and fungi, adds a protective layer, repairs, relines...

This weeks theme for MCP Actions is Thirst for Knowledge..........Monkey is the prefect age for this because everything is new for her! Here she is reading her favorite book of the week, "Butterfly's Bath"
Appearance: The Egyptians had extended knowledge of the night sky and the stars above. The circumpolar stars (the set of stars that seemed to "orbit" the North Star through the course of the night and thus never dipped below the horizon) were called the "Imperishable Ones". Most of the brighter stars were named by the Egyptians and they named thirty-eight constellations. These constellations were used to divide the night sky into "decans" (from the Greek word for "Ten"). The decans were called "the thirty-six gods of heaven and each ruled for ten-days each year.
The Egyptian symbol for the stars was a symbol five-pointed line drawing, resembling the sea stars (aka "starfish") that inhabited the Red Sea. In older examples, the drawing has rounder ends and the center is marked by two concentric rings. Egyptian star charts and decan tables often used dots or circles, as well as the hieroglyph.
Meaning: The infinite and unchanging nature of the stars overhead influenced the development of the Egyptian calendar and their beliefs regarding the life after death. Every Egyptian temple was a complex model of the cosmos and thus many images of the stars, constellations and stellar deities grace temple ceilings. In instances where the night sky was charted on the ceiling, brighter stars were sometimes designated by circles - like the sun disks. In decorative uses, the sky hieroglyph and the body of the sky-goddess Nut was decorated with five-pointed stars.
It was believed that the stars did not just inhabit this world, but in the Duat (land of the afterlife) as well. The Egyptians believed that the ba might ascend to the sky to live as a star in heaven. Many tombs also featured deep blue ceilings dotted with bright yellow stars in the exact image of the hieroglyph in hopes to make the ba feel at home in its new dwelling place. The stars were called the "Followers of Osiris and represented the souls in the underworld. The five-pointed star within a circle was the Egyptian symbol of the Duat.
