**Note: I will be in and out a lot for the next 6 weeks. I previously worked as a medical biller/coder (coding medical claims to be submitted to insurance companies). I am currently taking a Medical Coding course online (through a career center which is local), to help refresh my medical coding skills. I will attempt to stay caught up with my contacts who comment on my pictures, but I won't be able to post or comment as frequently as usual.

I always find it “amazing” how people spend their time discussing other people. We have so many topics for conversations and yet ... I just walk away... *i have almost a week off starting the following Tuesday but contemplating about going away because would really miss NY during the holidays * ♥️
A veces no puedo evitarlo, están ahí y necesitan salir, necesitan expresarse, reprimirlas nunca será una buena alternativa... emociones.
Sometimes I can't help it, they are there and they need to get out, they need to express themselves, repressing them will never be a good alternative... emotions

The Tree of Knowledge is a ghost gum located in front of the railway station at Barcaldine, under which the workers of the 1891 Shearer's Strike met. An icon of the Labor Party and Trades Unions, it symbolises the foundation of the organised representation of labour in Queensland.
Barcaldine sprang up in 1886 as the terminus of the Central Railway. The area was already settled by pastoralists and had previously been centred on Blackall. Large sheep stations were like small townships with their own working facilities, stores, worker's accommodation and tradesmen such as blacksmiths. The owners and managers of these stations had considerable power to dictate terms to an itinerant workforce recruited for the shearing season. Poor working conditions, low pay and the threat of competition from cheap foreign labour caused discontent within the industry.
Barcaldine was a natural focus for the development of unionism. As the railhead, the town drew many seasonal and casual workers. Besides shearers and hands there were navvies who had worked on the construction of the railway and carriers who had found their work reduced by it. Difficulties in finding work and financial hardship helped to build a sense of mateship and mutual support amongst sections of them. In 1887 the Central Queensland Carriers Union was formed, and discussions leading up to this are said to have been held under the gum tree which provided shade where carriers waited at the front of the railway station. At the same time, the Queensland Shearers' Union was formed at Blackall. Within a year it had 1300 members, indicating a perceived need for collective bargaining to obtain fair pay and working conditions. In 1888 the Central Queensland Labourers' Union was formed at Barcaldine. These three unions were the driving force behind the strike of 1891.
In Brisbane, the Trades and Labour Council was formed in 1885 and in 1889 became the Australian Labour Federation. At Barcaldine in the same year the Pastoral Employers' Association was founded in response and moved to reduce pay rates. Many workers now joined the unions, pushing membership of the Shearers Union over 3000 and the Labourer's Union to 2,250. Only severe wet weather in 1890 delayed a confrontation. By January 1891 union representatives had gathered at Barcaldine for meetings and pastoralists were pressing shearers to sign freedom of contract forms. A strike was called and employers began to import non-union labour from the south. Strikers, some of whom were armed, gathered at Barcaldine and set up a camp at Lagoon Creek and other places around the town.
The government dispatched police and soldiers to the area and the strikers responded by drilling and staging torchlight processions in the town. The tree in front of the station, the Tree of Knowledge, was the location of many meetings and a focus for protest. In March the situation escalated as carriers and railway workers went out in sympathy and military reinforcements arrived. Barcaldine became the focus of the whole country's interest and armed conflict was expected. However, heavy rain which limited movement and the arrest of leaders slowed momentum and strikers began to disperse. On 15 June the strike was officially called off. It had failed, but was to have far reaching effects. The following year, T.J. Ryan became the first representative of labour to be elected to the Queensland Parliament and soon after the Labor Party in Queensland was formed.
Because the area beneath the Tree of Knowledge was the scene of actions and decisions which had a profound effect on the future of labour and politics in Australia, it has become an icon of the Labor Party and Trades Unions. It is also important to the people of Barcaldine as a symbol of the town's identity and historical importance. This is reflected by the name chosen for the commemoration committee formed in 1987, the Tree of Knowledge Development Committee, and by the care given to the tree. In 1990 it was discovered that the tree was infested by termites and other insects and had severe health problems. Treatment by a tree surgeon, pest control and flushing of the root system with thousands of litres of water gave the tree a new lease of life. This treatment was completed in late 1993.
In 1991, there were major celebrations at Barcaldine to mark the centenary of the Shearers' Strike. In preparation for this, the area around the tree was landscaped and a memorial to the strikers erected within the enclosure.

The knowledge is liberating only when it transforms the creature, otherwise it will be nothing but dead weight!

We may throw the dice!
"We may throw the dice—but the Lord determines how they fall." Proverbs 16:33
If the fall of the dice is under the Lord's control—then whose is the arrangement of our whole life? If the simple casting of the dice is guided by Him—how much more the events of our entire life—especially when we are told by our blessed Savior, "The very hairs of your head are all numbered! Not a sparrow falls to the ground without your Father!" It would bring a holy calm over your mind, dear friend, if you were always to remember this. It would so relieve your mind from worry—that you would be the better able to walk in patience, calmness, and cheerfulness, as a Christian should.
When a man is anxious—he cannot pray with faith, or serve his Master. When you worry and fret about your lot and circumstances, you are meddling with Christ's business, and neglecting your own! You have been attempting "providing" work—and forgetting that it is yours to "obey". Be wise and attend to the obeying—and let Christ manage the providing.
Come and survey your Father's storehouse, and ask whether He will let you starve—while He has laid up so great an abundance in His garner! Look at His heart of mercy—and ask if that heart can ever prove unkind! Look at His inscrutable wisdom—and ask if that wisdom can ever be at fault. Above all, look to Jesus Christ your Intercessor, and ask yourself, while He pleads, can your Father deal ungraciously with you? If He remembers even sparrows, will He forget one of His poor children?
"Cast your burden upon the Lord—and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall." Psalm 55:22

“I’ve been reading a lot while in bed . . . Now I have begun, at last, War and Peace and am finished with 825 pages of it. I do not think that I like Tolstoi as much as Dostoevsky, but I’m enjoying myself with W&P more than any other novel I’ve read since The Idiot.” - Allen {Sheepshead Bay, New York} Jack Kerouac ^ Allen Ginsberg ^ The Letters
I love Brooklyn & its diversity. I love its imperfections. I love the fact that someone like Allen Ginsberg at some point in time could teach at Brooklyn College. I love the fact that one can be weird and yet be normal. I love the fact that it makes you think how to survive how to improve. I love the fact that growing up here gives you more knowledge & ability to think & resonate than any book. And every day passing through the streets one gets 1000 disconnected ideas that stick & stay in one’s head like a puzzle forming one big unique new picture.
I love the fact that it feels so unromantic and yet when you leave what you feel its “dump” you feel as if you lost the most romantic place on earth.
P.S. I probably agree on W&P somewhat . . . In my case it would be Anna Karenina ... With all my love for Tolstoi the story goes close enough to Leonardo DiCaprio’s Titanic (my favorite part of the film is the ship under the ocean ♀️). Yes, I definitely prefer Dostoyevsky to a poor woman throwing herself under the train because of the man.
A lot of people on flickr have been burning books lately, and so I was inspired to do the same. Went out with my friend Sarah and Sarah to shoot and stuff and Im pretty sure we saw a drug deal or a "prostitute deal" or whatever you call it go down. The book was really old so the book went up in flames fast. Going to be working on the idea of burning things. Let me know what you think!
inspiration came from: www.flickr.com/photos/kmayer/ great photog!
For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.
They said: "there're too many books but too little time". I say: "no need to conquer the world if we found home just comfortable enough..."
