My version of the one of my favorite SelfMOCs. Please welcome Velken!
This is my universe version. In my world he is better known as 10% VEXUS Velken. Velken is lone warrior. He is working for himself. While doing one part-time job he was attacked by VEXUS virus. There was a fight between him and some VEXUS'ifed matoran and Toa. Velken prove his strength and VEXUS tried to get him. Thankfully Velken didn't corrupted completely. But it cause some memory loss and also loss with his elemental powers.
Locals gathered outside Ipswich Town Hall in solidarity despite the snow to protest the bedroom tax due to kick in at the beginning of the financial year.
The imposed tax by the government will see housing benefits cut by 25% for those seen to be “under-occupying” their council or housing association homes.
This leaves many questioning whether to stay in their accommodation and struggle more and more with mounting bills alongside the tax or for single mother with two children Zoe Bartel, to decide whether to move into shared housing.
“I moved here two years ago when my eldest was just six, now they’re asking me to pay 14% more on my housing benefit and 8% council tax which will total to £60 per month.”
“I also have the option to move but as a single mother with two children with a part time job, moving again is just not going to happen”
Some fifty protests are believed to be held all over the county today. Manchester was noted to have gathered an estimated 1200 protestors on the 16th of March”.
Many gathered to protest, not because the tax affected themselves directly, but affected those around them including family and friends.
A protestor in Ipswich told, “It’s disgusting, they’re taxing blindly with no regard to those who will be affected, many have more than one bedroom because their sick children have disabilities that require dialysis machines. How is this fair? ”
Christmas Tree at work
Ironic thing is, this is a nice place to work and I am thankful to have a full-time permanent job again, but I am soooo bored most of the time. Another thing I am thankful for is that I can surf the web in the down time (the employer doesn't care) but I hate being bored.
I really was not happy at the job I left back in August 2012, but I feel like I needed a leave of absence to recharge. Since the beginning of 2013 I have had two part time jobs and worked various temporary full time day jobs all year. Until October 2013 when I got the job I have now. I thought I would like it but I really don't. I do about 2 hours of work a day (mostly typing and some phones). And I am not really sorry or regretful about the jobs I have done all year long. Some menial jobs I like better than this, because I could stay busy all day long.
I happened to drive by my old work tonight and I really miss it, but I'm not sure it's because I really miss it or wishing I had something I like again. I don't necessarily miss the industry, I left partly because my interests have nothing to do with the industry I was working in. I DO miss working in my own little work area, listening to my own radio if I want to, I could do data entry all day long (I looooove data entry and I am really good at it), and I could bring Dottie to work. There was open space behind the building where I could walk or ride my bike or take pictures of wildlife.
Having to leave her at home all the time since August 2012 has really put a strain on our household. But I also am not sorry for doing all the stuff I have done this year. I felt stuck at the job I was at. I wanted to explore other things. And even a few months after I left I felt that if I could have just taken some time off from that job (like a couple months) I could have refreshed and had a different attitude.
Now I am in the same conundrum I was in, do I stay and hope that it will change? Or do I look for something else again? I hate quitting, even if it isn't good for me. I just don't want to disappoint those who hired me, because I am not a flake. I take things very seriously, but I want to be happy too.
As Audrey Charles looked around, something seemed eerily familiar about the park she was visiting with three of her classmates.
It was the park benches and the descending staircase that carried visitors down into the park space that kept her wheels spinning, trying to imagine where she had seen it all before.
Except the park was 4,300 miles farther away from home than she had traveled her entire life prior to that day.
Then it struck her.
“Those were the same seats I saw on ‘Cheetah Girls 2’ when they were in Barcelona,” Charles said. “I went, ‘Oh my God, I’m here.”
It was an epiphany shared at some level by her classmates and chaperone Beth Shoemaker, as the five ladies traversed along the Mediterranean as part of a European tour including stops in Spain, France and Italy at the end of March.
The trip was the product of DHS becoming International Baccalaureate certified, according to Shoemaker.
“They thought it would be great, since we’re IB, to offer an international trip,” said Shoemaker, who also serves as Dublin High’s media specialist.
When Shoemaker took over as advisor for the trip, she began investigating options and leaned toward Spain as a potential stop.
“Since we offer Spanish courses on campus, I thought a Spanish-speaking country would be a good idea,” Shoemaker said, “then I noticed how close Spain was to France and Italy so we turned it into a Roman Conquest tour.”
The 10-day trip carried the five from DHS, and a sister school from Maryland, to the Spanish and French countryside still holding onto relics from the Roman Empire, the watering hole of Vincent van Gogh, Monaco and the Coliseum, to name a few.
“It was an experience of a lifetime,” Charles said.
Charles was joined by Kamisha Miles, Lauren Price and Samaya Dupree, along with Shoemaker, who began their “Roman Conquest” tour in Barcelona, stopping at Park Guell; the aforementioned site from the movie.
By Day 3, the quintuplet stopped in the walled city of Carcassone, camping out at the Hotel Forum in Arles France: the once home of van Gogh.
“Our hotel was directly across from the Yellow Café where van Gogh used visit,” Shoemaker said. “It was a quiet, quaint little town. It all rolled up at 9 p.m.”
The trip continued through France with a visit to Cote d’Azur and the Roman-era Nimes-Maison Carree and Arena before heading east to a Roman aqueduct called the Pont du Gard.
Then Monaco.
“It was so beautiful,” Shoemaker said, showing a selfie that included the building-filled hills of the Riviera coastline in the background. It was in Monaco where the students broke from touring to take part in a cooking class where they constructed their own Mediterranean-stylized meals.
“All the food was amazing,” Miles said.
“My favorite part was the chocolate,” Price said with a smile. “Chocolate mousse, chocolate mocha.”
“Even at the truck stops,” Shoemaker added. “It was unbelievable. It was food you’d find in a regular restaurant in America.”
From Grace Kelly’s former home, the group headed to Florence and finally to Rome for two days touring the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona, as well as the Ostia Antica (a large archaeological site).
“And we went to the Vatican,” added Charles, who took on a part-time job in order to cover the expense of the trip. “The ceilings there were really pretty.”
“The beauty of the Vatican Museum really struck me,” Miles said.
Every one of the women, both young and old, said the trip is one that will live on in their memories indefinitely.
“I wanted to go because I had been places before with my parents and I wanted to try it for myself,” Miles said. “When I look back on my phone I realize how great it all was.”
“I feel more confident in trying new things because of the trip,” Charles added.
“It was amazing to see them grow and mature in such a short period,” Shoemaker said. “They were a pleasure and I’d take them anywhere. I can’t wait to go back.”
Humans are an advanced life form, supposedly, yet this is the system we live in. And what's really sick is how many, who don't even benefit and never will, figure it's a deal: they agree to it. Absurd!
I advocate the Social Credit system, which I understand to be a proportionate capitalism and socialism, responding to the needs of the current situation for a given country.
Social Credit is a system in principle, proposed in a book by the same title in editions in the 1920s and 1930s. Following the general principle, Social Credit can be implemented in different ways. The book's author went over one example.
Capitalism often works well: for developing countries and formerly-developed countries rising out of war destruction. There is a need for infrastructure to be built, and a health care delivery system, etc. All kinds of things need to be worked on in a developing country. Capitalism fosters an all-hands-on-deck economy. Developing countries using capitalism can rapidly advance. One example is China's massive development in the three decades since they allowed their people some capitalism. When there is plenty of work to be done, arguably anyone who is capable of work should be working to improve the lot of the country as a whole. The same can be said of countries in necessary and dire war efforts, like WWII was.
Contrast this to capitalism in a well-developed country. Everyone still has to work, but there aren't enough things urgently needed to keep everyone working. Capitalism devolves more and more into rip-offs. More junky products go on the market, more unhealthy things and lifestyles -- people will do anything to make a living. Capitalism in such a situation fosters people's tricking people into buying things they don't need, and even would be better off without. When you need to work to get an income in order to keep yourself sheltered and fed in a well-developed capitalistic country, if you have a job, you often work jobs where you're hoping your fellow citizens will take part in the unhealthy and anti-community things your employer is selling. And if you're unemployed, you're anxious, confused, and stressed out. Some of the unemployed do community-damaging things, like heavy drinking, graffiti, stealing, and worse. You can see capitalism becomes something that conflicts with building a valuable community and country. I predict more and more economic crashes in our USA situation, and deeper and deeper recessions (actually, that second isn't even a prediction -- it has been found to be the case, since WWII).
I think it's time to give Social Credit a real try. In the book's example, he outlined a plan where every year the value of the infrastructure and other established elements of the country are tabulated. So, if bridges are falling, or hurricanes have wiped cities out, the country's value goes down: there is work to be done. In periods where things are better for the country, then it has reached a level of stability the envy of under-developed countries. The developed country's people would not have to work as much: they would get stipends, or subsidies or whatever form the basic support would take, in proportion to the country's situation's stability. Most would only have to work a part time job, if at all.
It's about human advancement: when humanity has gain stayed more and more stability, it means no one should have the threat of homelessness hanging over their head. People could do things that interest them that don't typically "pay" in dollar terms: independent (or group) research, art, volunteering. Or they could just relax and enjoy life in their advanced country, which they would rightly be very proud of and not frustrated to be in. Motivation for activity would be much more honest. I also like to think people would be more likely to recognize rip-offs when they saw them because they'd be living calmer lives, more able to take care of themselves.
C.H. Douglas didn't anticipate the global warming crisis, but that could be factored in as while evaluating the situation annually. It might be to put people to work on that. Alternatively, you could trust that people interested in research and inventing would have the time and clear-headedness to solve the problem would be freed up to do that.
Instead, we're all living in a low-quality-community: an ignorant feeding-frenzy living off of each others' misery and confusion, wishing ill on each other. The best one can hope for is living off of the rich; selling them gizmos and toys they don't need and might well be better off without, all as the earth dies under the rule of the greed of the rich.
I don't read books online, but in case you do, Social Credit, by C.H. Douglas, is online:

Blue-eyed American actor Henry Fonda (1905-1982) exemplified not only integrity and strength, but an ideal of the common man fighting against social injustice and oppression. He is most remembered for his roles as Abe Lincoln in Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath (1940), for which he received an Academy Award Nomination, and more recently, Norman Thayer in On Golden Pond (1981), for which he received an Oscar for Best Actor in 1982. Notably he also played against character as the villain 'Frank' in Sergio Leone's classic Spaghetti Western Once upon a time in the West (1968). Fonda is considered one of Hollywood's old-time legends and his lifelong career spanned almost 50 years.
Henry Jaynes Fonda was born in Grand Island, Nebraska in 1905. His parents were Elma Herberta (Jaynes) and William Brace Fonda, who worked in advertising and printing and was the owner of the W. B. Fonda Printing Company in Omaha, Nebraska. His distant ancestors were Italians who had fled their country around 1400 and moved to Holland, presumably because of political or religious persecution. In the early1600's, they crossed the Atlantic and were among the early Dutch settlers in America. They established a still-thriving small town in upstate New York named Fonda, named after patriarch Douw Fonda, who was later killed by Indians. In 1919, young Henry was a first-hand witness to the Omaha race riots and the brutal lynching of Will Brown. This enraged the 14 years old Fonda and he kept a keen awareness of prejudice for the rest of his life. Following graduation from high school in 1923, Henry got a part-time job in Minneapolis with the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company which allowed him at first to pursue journalistic studies at the University of Minnesota. In 1925, having returned to Omaha, Henry reevaluated his options and came to the conclusion that journalism was not his forte, after all. For a while, he tried his hand at several temporary jobs, including as a mechanic and a window dresser. At age 20, Fonda started his acting career at the Omaha Community Playhouse, when his mother's friend Dodie Brando (mother of Marlon Brando) recommended that he try out for a juvenile part in You and I, in which he was cast as Ricky. Then he received the lead in Merton of the Movies and realized the beauty of acting as a profession. It allowed him to deflect attention from his own tongue-tied personality and create stage characters relying on someone else's scripted words. The play and its star received fairly good notices in the local press. It ran for a week, and for the rest of the repertory season, Henry advanced to assistant director which enabled him to design and paint sets as well as act. A casual trip to New York, however, had already made him set his sights on Broadway. In 1926, he moved to the Cape Cod University Players, where he met his future wife Margaret Sullavan. His first professional role was in The Jest, by Sem Benelli. James Stewart joined the Players a few months after Fonda left, but he would become his closest lifelong friend. In 1928, Fonda went east to New York to be with Margaret Sullavan, and to expand his theatrical career on Broadway. His first Broadway role was a small one in A Game of Love and Death with Alice Brady and Claude Rains. Henry played leads opposite Margaret Sullavan, who became the first of his five wives in 1931. They broke up in 1933. In 1934, he got a break of sorts, when he was given the chance to present a comedy sketch with Imogene Coca in the Broadway revue New Faces. That year, he also hired Leland Hayward as his personal management agent and this was to pay off handsomely. Major Broadway roles followed, including New Faces of America and The Farmer Takes a Wife. The following year he married Frances Seymour Brokaw with whom he had two children: Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda, also to become screen stars.
The 29-year old Henry Fonda was persuaded by Leland Hayward to become a Hollywood actor, despite initial misgivings and reluctance on Henry's part. Independent producer Walter Wanger, whose growing stock company was birthed at United Artists, needed a star for The Farmer Takes a Wife (Victor Fleming, 1935) opposite Janet Gaynor. I.S. Mowis at IMDb: “With both first choice actors Gary Cooper and Joel McCrea otherwise engaged, Henry was the next available option. After all, he had just completed a successful run on Broadway in the stage version. The cheesy publicity tag line for the picture was "you'll be fonder of Fonda", but the film was an undeniable hit.” Wanger, realizing he had a good thing going, next cast Henry in a succession of A-grade pictures which capitalized on his image as the sincere, unaffected country boy. Pick of the bunch were the Technicolor outdoor Western The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (Henry Hathaway, 1936) with Sylvia Sidney, and the gritty Depression-era drama You Only Live Once (Fritz Lang, 1937) with Henry as a back-to-the-wall good guy forced into becoming a fugitive from the law by circumstance). Then followed the screwball comedy The Moon's Our Home (William A. Seiter, 1936) with ex-wife Margaret Sullavan, the excellent pre-civil war-era romantic drama Jezebel (William Wyler, 1938) featuring Bette Davis, and the Western Jesse James ( Henry King, 1939) starring Tyrone Power. Fonda rarely featured in comedy, except for a couple of good turns opposite Barbara Stanwyck and Gene Tierney - with both he shared an excellent on-screen chemistry - in The Mad Miss Manton (Leigh Jason, 1938), The Lady Eve (Preston Sturges, 1941) and the successful Rings on Her Fingers (Rouben Mamoulian, 1942). Henry gave his best screen performance to date in Young Mr. Lincoln (John Ford, 1939), a fictionalized account of the early life of the American president as a young lawyer facing his greatest court case. Henry made two more films with director John Ford: the pioneering drama Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) with Claudette Colbert, and The Grapes of Wrath (1940), an adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel about an Oklahoma family who moved west during the Dust Bowl. In his career-defining role as Tom Joad, Fonda played the archetypal grassroots American trying to stand up against oppression. His relationship with Ford would end on the set of Mister Roberts (John Ford, Mervyn LeRoy, 1955) when he objected to Ford's direction of the film. Ford punched Fonda and had to be replaced.
The Grapes of Wrath (John Ford, 1940) set the tone for Henry Fonda’s subsequent career. In this vein, he gave a totally convincing, though historically inaccurate, portrayal in the titular role of The Return of Frank James (Fritz Lang, 1940), a rare example of a sequel improving upon the original. He projected integrity and quiet authority whether he played lawman Wyatt Earp in My Darling Clementine (John Ford, 1946) or a reluctant posse member in The Ox-Bow Incident (William A. Wellman, 1943). In between these two films, Fonda enlisted in the Navy to fight in World War II, saying, and served in the Navy for three years. He then starred in The Fugitive (John Ford, 1947), and Fort Apache (John Ford, 1948), as a rigid Army colonel, along with John Wayne and Shirley Temple in her first adult role. The following years, he did not appear in many films. Fonda was one of the most active, and most vocal, liberal Democrats in Hollywood. During the 1930s, he had been a founding member of the Hollywood Democratic Committee, formed in support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal agenda. In 1947, in the middle of the McCarthy witch hunt, he moved to New York, not returning to Hollywood until 1955. His son Peter Fonda writes in his autobiography Don't Tell Dad: A Memoir (1999) that he believes that Henry's liberalism caused him to be gray-listed during the early 1950s. Fonda returned to Broadway to play the title role in Mister Roberts for which he won the Tony Award as best dramatic actor. In 1979, he won a second special Tony, and was nominated for a Tony Award Clarence Darrow (1975). Later he played a juror committed to the ideal of total justice in 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957) which he also produced, and a nightclub musician wrongly accused of murder in The Wrong Man (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956). During the next decade, he played in The Longest Day (Ken Annakin, Andrew Marton a.o., 1962), How the West Was Won (John Ford, Henry Hathaway, George Marshall, 1962) and as a poker-playing grifter in the Western comedy A Big Hand for the Little Lady (Fielder Cook, 1966) with Joanne Woodward. A big hit was the family comedy Yours, Mine and Ours (Melvillle Shavelson, 1968), in which he co-starred with Lucille Ball. The same year, just to confound those who would typecast him, he gave a chilling performance as one of the coldest, meanest stone killers ever to roam the West, in Sergio Leone's Western epic C'era una volta il West/Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) opposite Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. With James Stewart, he teamed up in Firecreek (Vincent McEveety, 1968), where Fonda again played the heavy, and the Western omedy The Cheyenne Social Club (Gene Kelly, 1970). Despite his old feud with John Ford, Fonda spoke glowingly of the director in Peter Bogdanovich's documentary Directed by John Ford (1971). Fonda had refused to participate until he learned that Ford had insisted on casting Fonda as the lead in the film version of Mr. Roberts (1955), reviving Fonda's film career after concentrating on the stage for years. Illness curtailed Fonda’s work in the 1970s. In 1976, Fonda returned in the World War II blockbuster Midway (Jack Smight, 1976) with Charlton Heston. Fonda finished the 1970s in a number of disaster films wilth all-star casts: the Italian killer octopus thriller Tentacoli/Tentacles (Ovidio G. Assonitis, 1977), Rollercoaster (James Goldstone, 1977) with Richard Widmark, the killer bee action film The Swarm (Irwin Allen, 1978), the global disaster film Meteor (Ronald Neame, 1979), with Sean Connery, and the Canadian production City on Fire (Alvin Rakoff, 1979), which also featured Shelley Winters and Ava Gardner. His final screen role was as an octogenarian in On Golden Pond (Mark Rydell, 1981), in which he was joined by Katharine Hepburn and his daughter Jane. It finally won him an Oscar on the heels of an earlier Honorary Academy Award. Too ill to attend the ceremony, Henry Fonda died soon after at the age of 77, having left a lasting legacy matched by few of his peers. His later wives were Susan Blanchard (1950-1956), Leonarda Franchetti (1957-1961) and Shirlee Fonda (1965- till his death in 1982). With Blanchard he had a daughter, Amy Fishman (1953). His grandchildren are the actors Bridget Fonda, Justin Fonda, Vanessa Vadim and Troy Garity.

This one is simply called (Wildflower Landscape)... Last night I was playing around with some photos that I'd taken here at Pacific Commons Parkway, of wildflowers. So I decided to create a photo manipulation of those flowers with a free stock photo of New Zealand someone had given me. It's really like making a virtual flower arrangement, which I did many years ago as a part time job working as a florist. I hope you like it!

Singapore, Singapore - November 18, 2021: A food delivery worker cycles past other workers outside the Jurong Point shopping mall on a rainy day.
Mom is home from the hospital. She actually checked out on Christmas Eve. She has been recuperating at home, and is doing very well.
I am at home in a rare moment of quiet and preparing to leave town for a few days — a women's retreat with Christine Kane. I made these plans for the retreat back in July, long before Mom's surgery was even a blip on the horizon. It seems awfully weird and a little careless to leave Mom bedside now, when she has just been through so much. But sometimes the best time to take a break is before you realize that you truly need it. Dad is loaded to the gills with helpers during my absence. If I had any concern about Mom's welfare, I would not be leaving. But I know she will be fine.
In the weeks leading up to Mom's surgery, I wondered about what kind of role each of us would find as we moved into recovery. I saw myself as either a beatific Clara Barton, soothing Mom's brow with a soft cloth, or a tightly wound, emotionally distant version of Kristen Scott Thomas. I've managed to avoid both of those stereotypes. The role I have found is somewhere in the middle. That feels right.
I'm amazed by how much effort it takes to look after someone in this situation. Mom just had some back surgery, right? No big deal. Surprise: it's a new part-time job. RIght now, she needs assistance with everything. Shifting her weight in bed, sitting up in bed, getting to and from the bathroom, taking medication on time. And there's also shopping, clean-up, laundry, meal prep, feeding... Dad has been her primary nurse and he's done a wonderful job. And my older brother has assisted through much of her recovery, too. I'm just amazed by how much work it all is. Since Wednesday we've had a three-man team working around the clock to keep Mom comfortable.
The past week has really stretched me thin in some ways. It's worn me out. But I'm happy to say that I've been present for Mom in a way that feels authentic, loving and real.
I honestly do not know how people without a huge support team get through something like this. Mom's community of friends has been wonderful, bringing meals by, calling to check in, praying, even staying up nights with Mom.
The photo above is of some pansies that one of Mom's friends planted for her. Her friends kept asking me, "Is there anything I can do? Anything at all?" Finally I realized that with all of her medical appointments leading up to the surgery, Mom hadn't had any time to do her usual wintertime gardening. I called one of her friends and said, "I'd like to take you up on your offer." By the time Mom arrived home from the hospital, all her pots on the front porch were filled with pretty little pansies. It was a very sweet gesture and it gave Mom a lot of joy.
So I took this new part-time job out in Sunset Park, Brooklyn last year, but there were no really good places to eat lunch - a couple of delis, one cafe with hot food that I could hit up for dinner after work if I was really hungry, but no really good places to get more than your standard cold-cut sandwich and a bag of chips.
In May, the studio moved to a new location, 12 blocks north of the old one in Sunset Park, and what a difference! Now we're near Industry City, a big complex of buildings that has a Food Hall, with a few different specialty food stores, a cafe and a butcher shop that also sells daily sandwich specials, it's called Ends Meat.
When I have the time on the way in, and a few extra bucks, I can now get a sandwich like the Pigstrami, seen here. Pastrami is usually made from beef brisket, but they applied the same curing technique to pork, and this is the delicious result. Served with purple slaw, stone-ground mustard, and I think Swiss cheese, all good things to pair with pork.
Oh, I'll be back there soon, you can count on it.
As Audrey Charles looked around, something seemed eerily familiar about the park she was visiting with three of her classmates.
It was the park benches and the descending staircase that carried visitors down into the park space that kept her wheels spinning, trying to imagine where she had seen it all before.
Except the park was 4,300 miles farther away from home than she had traveled her entire life prior to that day.

“I feel more confident in trying new things because of the trip,” Charles added.
“It was amazing to see them grow and mature in such a short period,” Shoemaker said. “They were a pleasure and I’d take them anywhere. I can’t wait to go back.”
Following my triumphant exit from my unhealthy retail management job, I realized I didn’t have a backup plan and quickly began applying for any and all full-time jobs I could find on the internet. This was during the holidays of 2008, so as you can imagine it was a little challenging to find work. My older sister helped me get a part-time job until I finally found something at the beginning of 2009 at a call center selling wigs. Yes, wigs. This is when I met Vi. She was hired at the same time as me so we were in the same training group together. First impressions... I thought she was the weirdest lady I had ever met. Don’t get me wrong, I thought she was very nice, but I had never met anyone like her before. She talked about this “Reiki” stuff that she did for a living, was happy all the time, and would frequently break computers due to her “energy level.” I thought she just didn’t know how to use computers. She was always so cheery, willing to help, and took time to get to know all the people around her. Little did I know that this was what a healthy mentality looked like.
This was during one of the darkest periods of my life. I was completely lost. I was sick constantly, suffering from severe depression, and near daily anxiety attacks that would leave me feeling like I was actually going to die. I didn’t feel like I had a purpose. At the time I was dating someone, and his sister was killed by a drunk driver shortly after I began working at the call center. It was one of the most tragic situations I’ve ever endured. To see the direct impact something like that has on a family is soul-shaking. I was struggling deeply with the thought of death and the meaning of life. Vi was extremely kind and would often check in to see how I was doing. I never felt OK. My suffering was inexplicable and I had no idea how to manage it.
One particular day in the spring of 2009, Vi and I ended up on break together. I was having a lousy day, as was the norm for me back then. I was sick, and a gland on the right side of my throat was swollen like a golf ball and painful. She started talking about Reiki again and was trying to explain it to me. I was skeptical and resistant to what she was saying. I didn’t understand it, and it honestly sounded like religious healing to me. You know, that weird stuff you see on TV sometimes. I told her that I’m the type of person that really needs to see it to believe it. She pondered for a moment and then asked if I would let her take care of my throat. I couldn’t think of a reason to say no. Worst case scenario was nothing happening, so I gave the OK. I stayed seated in my chair and she came to stand behind me, hovering her hands in front of my neck. She took a deep breath while I sat there awkwardly. “Let me know if you feel like your throat is going to close up.” Now I’m nervous, thinking she might strangle me. “Are you sure it’s not the left side of your neck?” I rolled my eyes because the lump was noticeably on the right side. Then she perks up and says, “OH! There it is!” As soon as she said that I felt a warm, tingly sensation travel up my neck. I froze. I just sat in my chair feeling something coming from hands that weren’t even touching me. She stood like that for maybe 2 minutes, definitely no more than 5. She stepped back, smoothed the air around my throat and head, then declared “All set!” I reached up and touched my throat. Nothing. I poke around a little harder. Nothing. Not only was the pain completely gone, but the swelling receded to the point that I couldn’t even find the gland that had been swollen in the first place. I just gaped at her, in total shock. I asked her what she did to me. She said Reiki. I told her that’s not Reiki, that’s magic. She said it’s not magic, it’s science. Then the words that would change the course of my life forever came out of my mouth: Teach me.
This was the beginning of this 10+ year journey I have been on. What Vi did for me that day on break goes beyond relieving me of my symptoms. She opened up a door to a world I never knew existed. A door I didn’t want to look into when she first tried to show me, and almost never looked in. But she kept trying. She went above and beyond to demonstrate to me what she was talking about. She could have stopped trying to push the issue with me. She didn’t need to offer to help me feel better. She could have just shrugged it off when I was resistant. But she didn’t. She had something valuable she was trying to show me. She saw me struggling on a deeper level than what other people saw. She set herself aside and risked looking “bad” or like a “crazy voodoo” lady in an effort to help someone she didn’t need to help. She is a true teacher.
Vi is a Reiki Master Teacher, so I signed up for the next Level 1 class she was teaching that spring. I cried the entire 8 hour class. It was beautiful. I couldn’t believe I had never heard any of the information before. I couldn’t believe this wasn’t being taught to kids in elementary school. So much became clear to me that day. For the first time in my life I felt hopeful. THIS was what I wanted to do. I wanted to master this modality and bring it to others. State laws in Massachusetts require anyone who wants to practice Reiki to hold a state license in hands-on healing (i.e. doctors, nurses, massage therapists, etc). Massage therapy was something that had been in the back of my mind, but hadn’t seriously considered the possibility until that point because I thought I was “better” than that. When I left Vi’s class, I went straight home and looked up massage schools. First school to pop up was SpaTech Institute. Not only was it located near me, but it was a holistic school that would teach me therapeutic massage as well as more energy work. Perfect. I signed up and started that fall. I went on to get my Level 2 and Master Reiki certifications through Vi as well.
I will never be able to thank her enough for what she did for me that day. That day, she handed me the seed of change. That little seed would take 10 years to grow into full bloom. It would be a long, hard journey, especially in the beginning. Change can be very painful, but not as painful as staying in a state of being that was killing me. I am forever grateful to Vi for sharing her wisdom with me when she did.
froggykun Quotes From fantasticmemes.wordpress Website
Q. What happens to Nanami?
A. She is put on a bus and barely ever mentioned again.
To be more specific: Nanami leaves at the beginning of volume 9, so this is almost immediately after Sorata and Mashiro get together. The novel explains it like this:
“Nanami, who ran away from home to become a voice actor and who worked hard at her part-time job to make a living, was breaking the rules for not going back to the regular dorms. For that reason, she was expelled from Sakurasou.”
So the story here is that she’d been breaking the school rules ever since she got her parents’ financial backing at the end of the anime and she finally got caught out on it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What happens to the other pairings? (Jin x Misaki, Ryuunosuke x Rita, etc.)
A. Jin and Misaki remain happily married. Rita is still ineffectually chasing after Ryuunosuke, even in the epilogue set four years after the main timeline. Their relationships are completely static. There is no development.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Do the characters achieve their dreams in the end?
Yes, they do. In the ending, we’re told that they’re all working hard to achieve their dream but they’re making real progress. Sorata’s game designs are getting steadily more popular and Nanami has had a couple of voice acting roles. Mashiro’s manga is widely regarded as a classic. We’re not told much about the others, but we can assume they’re successful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. So what happens at the end of volume 10?
A. Sorata and Mashiro break up. They realise that even though they love each other, their relationship is too destructive and he can’t achieve his dream as long as he’s comparing himself to Mashiro. Their breakup is amicable (Friendly) and strongly resembles something out of a ’90s Korean drama.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. … But they get back together in the end, right?
A. Of course. The next chapter skips ahead four years and suddenly Sorata is a COMPETENT ADULT whose growth process we never actually got to see. His reunion with Mashiro plays out like so:
“Mashiro,” he called out, turning to face her.
“What is it?” Mashiro turned her body towards him too.
“I’ve always loved you for these past four years.”
She said nothing. Her eyes widened in surprise.
“I’ve loved you for more than four years.”
Gently, he held out his hands.
“We might fight again.” Mashiro held her own hands close to her chest.
“Yeah.” She was right.
“We might have hard feelings again.”
“Yeah.” She was right about that, too.
“We might hurt each other again.”
“Yeah.” She really was right about all those things. “Even so…”
His feelings, four years budding, were opening up like a flower in bloom. It was as if time itself flowed in reverse, turning the clock towards a moment that had passed years ago.
“What is it?”
“I think we can overcome it this time.”
When he looked back, those four years overwhelmed him. In that time, he felt as if he had become somewhat more of an adult.
Looking at Mashiro like this now, he thought, was all the proof he needed to believe that this was a new beginning. He wanted to hold those emotions to heart. And he wanted her to know all about these feelings that had assailed him when they reunited. Hopefully, he was not alone in this.
Mashiro’s eyes were slightly downcast. She said nothing. There was nothing to say.
She merely extended her hand slowly and held Sorata’s hand in hers.
“That’s right.”

I'm rarely able to make images in the morning, so I often miss that first soft light. This morning, my daughter Katie started a 6:30 AM shift at her part-time job (making donuts), so on the way back I pulled over to my favorite spot and caught the mist before it disappeared.

Had a shoot with the most beautiful couple this week. It was the first shoot with my mark ii, so lets just say I was ecstatic when I was lucky enough to have such natural models for subjects.
It was such a rush, once I calmed down a bit, and it motivates me to push myself even farther into my photography. I cannot wait until I can quit my part-time job and do what I love full time.
Husfrua is open to visitors all year around but requires pre-booking as there are only 6 bedrooms with space for 13 adults (extra beds for children can be provided).
The story of Husfrua goes back to 1867 and 8 km from its current location, when this trønderlåna - a term for a 2-story wooden building, common in Trøndelag - was built by the great-great-great-grandparents of the current owner, Per Magnus Værdal. For six generations, it functioned as a lively, multi-generation home in Granabygda. But in 1996, the last owner moved out, leaving an old, rundown building with a bleak future.
For the next ten years, the building remained empty and in a state of disrepair.
In 2006, Per Magnus took over his father's farm. Since both he and his wife, Lise Lyngsaunet Skrove, had regular jobs, farming would have to be a part-time job. Still, both felt that they wanted to keep the old farming traditions alive, with dairy cows and animals. They hatched the crazy idea of moving the old trønderlåna from Gran to their own farm, renovate it and start a bed & breakfast.
On a cold Saturday in October 2008, the road up to Gran was closed and massive cranes lifted up the old building, slowly moving it the 8 km distance to Sakshaug where it now resides, shiny white and renovated, next to the farm.
the 365 toy project 5. 05/19/25
Larry is earning money with his new part-time job, doing deliveries. He plans to put his earnings against the loan he took out to buy a new scooter. So it's HiHo, HiHo; off to work he goes. Who is that vegetable in the dapper Fedora? It's Larry Boy! On a speedy scooter; in a cloud of dust; with a hearty "Gotta Dash!" Off he scoots; the Lone Stranger .
"Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work I go................."
365 days a week, 52 weeks a year, it's not a part-time job, so we don't stop for a bit of snow! I did have to wear my bright pink wellies though, which made the patients smile
Super cool new Lululemon staff shirts on which they write their personal goal and by when they will achieve it. I really begged them to let me purchase one, but to no avail. Huh, perhaps the right answer to many of my problems is that I go get a part time job there. duh!
The two guys to the right, with folders under their arms, although young, are trying to recruit girls for something or other...
I say something or other, because in this case I am not sure, but it is a common sight - usually mid twenties guys in suits near station exits stopping/walking alongisde young women - either schoolgirls in uniform or other young women in casual clothes - and giving them the hardsell about working in a hostess bar (a place where mostly Japanese salaried workers, or 'salary-men', go to be pampered by young[er] ladies).
I have seen this at many mainline stations and it is always rather obvious... What is more surprising than that it actually occurs in normal places in broad daylight, well within view of the police, is that many of the women being solicited (usually the young ones who like the idea of a quick buck rather than a hard part time job) actually stop to listen.
In this 3rd picture, all of the subjects are facing away - not because they were wary of my taking a picture, just that they were looking at something else. It makes them anonimous, but artistically I don't think it's as interesting at the other shots...
What do you all think?
Locals gathered outside Ipswich Town Hall in solidarity despite the snow to protest the bedroom tax due to kick in at the beginning of the financial year.
The imposed tax by the government will see housing benefits cut by 25% for those seen to be “under-occupying” their council or housing association homes.
This leaves many questioning whether to stay in their accommodation and struggle more and more with mounting bills alongside the tax or for single mother with two children Zoe Bartel, to decide whether to move into shared housing.
“I moved here two years ago when my eldest was just six, now they’re asking me to pay 14% more on my housing benefit and 8% council tax which will total to £60 per month.”
“I also have the option to move but as a single mother with two children with a part time job, moving again is just not going to happen”
Some fifty protests are believed to be held all over the county today. Manchester was noted to have gathered an estimated 1200 protestors on the 16th of March”.
Many gathered to protest, not because the tax affected themselves directly, but affected those around them including family and friends.
A protestor in Ipswich told, “It’s disgusting, they’re taxing blindly with no regard to those who will be affected, many have more than one bedroom because their sick children have disabilities that require dialysis machines. How is this fair? ”
The owner of Seattle's popular Cupcake Royale sent me this email yesterday. With all the fearmongering and distortions around healthcare I've heard being disseminated as "talking points" by the strategists and lobbyists in big money's corner of this debate, I thought this local business person's perspective as shared with NBC Nightly News, CNN, and NPR was pretty candid and refreshing. I hope you'll check it out. . .it's brief where I tend to be wordy :-).
Many of you know my family faced the sudden onset of a nasty brain cancer that took my husband's life two years ago. A year and a half before this bad news struck, both of us had left full time employment and its attendant healthcare benefits in order to move to Seattle, return to school full time for 3 to 4 years, and launch into meaningful service work afterward. We each took part time jobs which offered no healthcare benefits, but we didn't risk going uninsured. We had purchased self-pay coverage for $560 per month/ $6720 per year for catastrophic insurance with a local HMO for our family of 3 thinking we'd be back to full time work with healthcare benefits offered by our new employers. Having catastrophic coverage meant we paid in full for all doctor or ER visits, pharmacy, labs, etc., but insurance would start covering hospital costs if catastrophe struck. Well, it did, without warning. Thankfully 90% of the neurosurgery and hospital costs were being picked up by insurance, but pharmacy was not, and chemo is not cheap. The cost worried my husband much more than facing his own mortality. He envisioned leaving us with no means to live on if he had to fight his disease for very long. He thought it a godsend that in his case chemo was for palliative measures with no hope for cure. What a thought for a dying man to be strapped with: die sooner so your family won't face financial ruin on top of your loss. Our HMO and doctors and nurses were fabulous, even working with a drug company to donate chemo pills, which brought my husband some peace of mind in the midst of his turmoil. We were absolutely blessed to have that catastrophic coverage. I know families with young kids where both parents have been laid off in this economic downturn, they can't afford COBRA, they are going without insurance, asking grandparents to help out with their kid's medical bills. We are talking two workers with master's degrees that own their own home. How much sharper must the edge feel for folks with a lot less margin for loss.
An ill friend of mine being treated right now shared recently that one of his monthly shots alone costs $14,000 each injection, and that's not even his main chemo med each month. He's in his 30s, has a wife and 3 kids, and thank goodness his small size employer offers healthcare coverage. They also have family and friends that would chip in if their co-pays became unmanageable. He is blessed. There are a phenominal number of people in this most highly resourced nation on the planet who will lose everything they have worked for when a family member becomes ill. I still work part time, go to school, and pay $402 per month / $4824 per year for my child and I to continue to have catastrophic coverage through our HMO. We pay $118 every time either of us walks into our doctor's office and for all medications and labs. Doctors' and nurses' salaries continue to decline nationwide, hospitals continue to be challenged by costs, but insurance companies never stop turning a ridiculous percentage of profit for their shareholders. They wield enormous power over all American's lives. I invite you to become better informed and do one small thing that you can do to help bring about the reform that will cover every American with affordable healthcare. CALL CONGRESS 1-877-264-4226, visit your congress person and senators' offices while they are home from DC this month and let them know your concerns. Take part in the genuine national discourse and stop shouting slogans at each other. Talk with your friends and family, listen thoughtfully, write letters to the editor, make your wisdom be heard above the din of the irrational misinformation and sensationalist talking points written by lobbyists. This is not a partisan issue, this is an issue America has because rampant greed has not been checked and balanced in the halls of our democracy. We must bring it into line. We only ever have now to do something meaningful for the good of the country and each other. I hope we all will do our parts.

Singapore, Singapore - November 18, 2021: A Deliveroo food delivery worker prepares to embark on a trip outside the Jurong Point shopping mall on a rainy day.
Gold Winner Casino - place never opened - one of 3 planned Downtown Fresno casinos - one already open (Club One) - awaiting approval to go ahead. They never got approval. The building is I think a former Security Pacific Bank. I think today it belongs to a technical college.
This celebration is bittersweet due to our current conditions but it is a milestone worth celebrating regardless! This journey has been anything but easy, but it’s been worth it and is another step in achieving the goals I have set out for myself. There have been many challenges and obstacles along the way that I could have let stop me, but I didn’t let them, not even briefly, instead I persisted because I didn’t do this just for me... I did it for my children and family. Children always look to their parents for comfort, guidance, and motivation, but little do my children know, I look to them for all those same things. When the feelings of doubt would creep in, I would turn to them for a reassuring hug and quickly refocus. When I would have to choose my school work over building legos with them and feel sad because I felt like I was neglecting them of quality time, I looked to them for the guidance I needed and reassured myself, and them, that mommy is working so hard because I am motivated to give them everything they deserve and need in life, and show them that temporary sacrifice and hard work pays off in the end. Thanks to the flexibility of independent studies that SUNY Empire offers, I was able to earn my degree from home while working two part time jobs and taking care of my two young children. I am so grateful for my mentor October Edun who always showed compassion and commitment to helping me achieve my goals. This is another part of the climb completed to better me and my family and I couldn’t have done it with the support of my husband, children, family, friends, and mentor. They believed in me and “She believed she could so she did”!
Congratulations to all the graduates of 2020!
