New Jersey Zombie Walk

Asbury Park, New Jersey

October 4, 2014

  

Last year, The New Jersey Zombie Walk shattered records, proving to the world that the Jersey Shore lives. We showed what it really means to be strong and we are a community built of many amazing people…or should we say Zombies? Are you ready to stumble the streets of Asbury Park in the name of a Zombie’s favorite thing … BRAINS?

 

This year it’s Zombies vs. Brain Cancer! To help us fight the war against brain cancer we are calling on the most powerful army we know, the undead. The 2014 New Jersey Zombie Walk will kick off “GREY MATTERS,” a campaign that spreads awareness about brain cancer.

 

This year’s campaign will benefit Camp Jinka, a free summer program for children and teenagers whose lives have been impacted by brain cancer. This amazing retreat encourages a connection with others who are experiencing similar life altering events. All the kids of Camp Jinka are residents of New Jersey and each camper brings with them a different story. Some are fighting a brain tumor themselves, others are trying to help a parent through treatment, some are survivors, but all of them are strong fighters!

Above all the line was mend for transporting goods with the piggyback system (roll bock) standard gauge goods wagons rolled on meter.

"A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one.”

 

The connecting grills safe guards the interiors/ house.

 

Similarly if we consciously connect with our inner selves regularly / continuously, it would safeguard us from all the evil thoughts, vices and bad habits.....and would help us being a better being.....and convert us to be the best divine instrument....best divine offering. :)

 

Lets be connected to the inner self...lets be connected to the divine...and lets be connected to God..

This summer we took a trip to Charleston, South Carolina. While we were there we went to Boone Hall Plantation and toured the grounds, main house, and the slaves quarters. Each quarter displayed a different aspect of slavery, from every day life to trinkets found on the property. While standing outside of one,waiting to get in, I looked through the window to see a TV playing images of prominent civil rights leaders. This is Martin Luther King Jr from the 1960's inside of an original slaves quarters built approximately 1790, that's almost a 200 year difference.

i understand there's some... conflict.

 

very old. no edits.

Suggestions for improvement are welcome!

I did this with my daughter for an "Images of Physics" project.

She wanted to capture an image with the states of matter. So we chose water and we were able to get the solid, liquid and gas states. Plasma and Bose-Einstein condensation were difficult to get at this time.

We need to choose one picture from this set.

Which one do you like?

Protestors at Marin County's Statue of Sir Francis Drake

June 17, 2020

 

Black Lives Matter protestors, Coast Miwok Indigenous people, youth and grandmothers, rallied Wednesday at the Marin County statue of Sir Francis Drake, calling for the removal of the statue and the renaming of Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Following the rally, protestors poured into Sir Francis Drake Blvd, blocking traffic in both directions and forcing police to redirect traffic to and from the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Many of the protestors then marched towards the bridge and stopped at the Highway Patrol blockade at the onramp, where they took a knee to honor George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and all those who had been killed by police and systems of racist oppression.

 

Sir Francis Drake was an English explorer who circumnavigated the globe, was a privateer and pirate, and is believed to have landed in what is now known as Drake's Bay in the Point Reyes National Seashore. He was also a slave trader and played a central role in England's initial involvement in the slave trade. The statue that is associated with him stands across the channel from the Larkspur Ferry terminal in Marin County, California. Sir Francis Drake Blvd is the main thoroughfare connecting east and west Marin County.

Washington DC, January 4, 2020. On January 3, 2020 President Trump acting on the flimsiest of pretexts (and without any Congressional consultation...) ordered the Pentagon to kill the top Iranian General and others in a drone strike near the Baghdad Iraq airport. This act is likely to set off a cycle of retribution that could end in a regional war. Trump ran on ending the stupid wars of his Presidential predecessors but that was, like most of his other promises, a brazen lie. Now forever impeached, he has predictably resorted to acts of brutality to distract the electorate and justify his continued governance in a time of national emergency. DC and seventy other cities were not buying it. The protests that erupted nationwide say loudly and clearly that violence and war are not the answer.

The DC protest gathered in Lafayette Park across from the White House for a rally with speeches and then marched to the infamous Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue. I estimate crowd size at 800 or so. Thanks to Answer Coalition, DC Black Lives Matter, Code Pink, Popular Resistance, Metro DSA and other peace groups who organized the action on very short notice.

I want you to think about someone right now. Not your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife... Think of someone who is like a brother, sister, uncle, aunt or even your parents - mum or dad. or a friend or a MATE of yours. It has to be someone that ticks the following boxes...

 

- You LOVE and TREASURE them

- You VALUE and RESPECT them

- You would PROTECT them and put yourself in the way of harm for them.

 

For me, right now...it's my great grandma who looked after me when I was only a toddler... Been thinking about her lately. She's from my mother's side, my grandmother's aunt. She never married and as long as I know has always been single.

 

So...imagine that person that you're thinking about comes to you saying: "I'm going through something right now. I love you and I need your support" and your response to that is "I love EVERYONE. Everyone matters to me. I'm here to support everyone that needs my help. You are important to me like everyone is" . How do you think they are going to feel? Do you think they are going to feel loved and treasured? Do you think they are going to feel valued and respected? Do you think they will feel protected?

 

If I said that to my grandma, which, by the way, would have never happened ...I think she'd not only be disappointed but she'd actually be hurt. Grandma died when I was 8 or 9 years old. She was 71. I wish I could talk to her now that I am an adult. I never had the chance to talk to her as an adult. There are a few things I would want to ask her.

 

Logically, with reasoning at an INTELLECTUAL LEVEL, we can all agree that obviously and without any doubt ALL LIVES MATTER.... But on an EMOTIONAL LEVEL, when a BLACK man (regardless of what kind of human being he was) dies because he was killed by a cop on a video that was shot from a phone on the street, AT THAT MOMENT (when it was all over the media)...I think it is safe to say that BLACK LIVES MATTER.

 

Chances are...well actually...it's HIGHLY LIKELY that I am MUCH MORE CONSERVATIVE than you...and yet I am saying BLACK LIVES MATTER.

 

I waited for a bit before posting anything about this. I didn't want to jump to the LOGICAL and OBVIOUS conclusions. I think people have different experiences which need to be respected.

 

If you're going through something hard in your life right now. I got something for you. I don't normally share CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) which is a sub-genre of rock music... I'm more into hymns and "well-established" songs but I enjoyed this song because of the piano and the build up to the chorus. It was originally written by Sinach - a Nigerian singer - a BLACK woman. From what I understand it has become quite "established" now given the fact that it has been performed by multiple artists and churches. This is my favourite version of the song, it's by Leeland, and it's called "Waymaker". See link below. Enjoy!
