We live in a hyper-technological society in which family life is failing, a world where we can learn anything except how to be parents; how to raise children with values and limits, how to say No more often, how to discipline them.
It is said that we must raise children in freedom. No demands on them. Let them dictate their own rules and do as they please. These are well-intentioned mistakes whose consequences we are paying for daily: children and adolescents who run away, commit suicide, kill and drug themselves.
The absence of the mother in the home and the weakening of fatherly authority have become a central issue of a daily reality that threatens to destroy the family as an institution. Alone, in front of a computer our children grow up in a state of emotional emptiness. Consequently, they do not grow up. Christina Balinotti provides an enlightening handbook designed to show mothers (and fathers) how to lead and strengthen the family. It is a defense of the most important and significant event of human experience: parenthood.
Christina Balinotti is an Argentine author and lecturer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences with graduate studies in Psychology including three years of special studies in Philosophy and Literature in her native Buenos Aires. She also has ample knowledge in the field of quantum physics.
She has resided in Miami since the year 2000, where she works as an international analyst on TV and Radio, investigating the crimes and suicides of our young people and their relationship to maternal absence during a child’s early years in this and in other developed societies.
Through her Foundation, Holistic Femininity, Christina Balinotti organizes conferences and annual workshops at several Florida universities (FIU, UM, SUAGM) as well as in important venues in Miami for the purpose of educating women in the essential recovery of family values and in the pathways of holistic femininity, all free of charge.
In 2013 she hosted a radio show at Radio Nova Internacional as well as a weekly TV Show at Telemiami in which she, together with other professionals, including sociologists, historians and psychologists, analyzed the role of women in Western cultures. Proud mother and grandmother.
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape? ... If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” ―J.R.R. Tolkien
Everything I think seems to have a little strain of chaos, that buzzing happening of a brain that won't give itself a break. It keeps me thinking that I've done too much, even if there's not much truth in the matter. I'm the wrong one to ask about how to relax, you'll find me running on a tightrope and talking up the meditative value. Always about what's next, what's now, intensely impatient to reach it. If I ever seem calm, it's because I've found a fever pitch at its greatest, and stood still on a precarious peak before tumbling. Steadily swaying sort of sickly, thoughts that call me craving speaking, nothing I tend to keep inside for long. When I'm about to fall asleep, I know how much I need the rest.

This quickly became a very moving experience once realizing what we had stumbled upon. There are 110 pillors, one for each who perished in the senceless accident. Though I did not know at the time, I was astonished to notice that it did sit perpendicular to the highway or pond and wondered why. It was not until my final photo that that I noticed that its shaped formed an arrowhead that looked to be pointing towards a possible crash site. That's exactly what it is 8 miles deep into the Everglades. DO NOT MISS THIS, FIND IT! Notable passengers: Rodney Culver - San Diego Chargers running back, Walter Hyatt - Country music singer, Robert Woodus - Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman, Del Marie Walker - A murder suspect.
Got this last night for ten bucks. It's kinda cute - looks like an ironing board. May paint it white. May just stick it outside on the deck outside the kitchen window and put pots on it. WHO KNOWS.

The building was later occupied by a Payless Drug Store which until the late 1990's hadn't made and major renovation to the facade of the building. (Unfortunately I didnt get a photograph) The building is currently occupied by a Rite Aid which has not put any effort into both the inside and outside of the store that is except for a stucco facade.

A beautiful, remote and culturally rich country infamous for its military regime, Myanmar (Burma) has in recent years been making small steps towards democracy, with the first democratically elected government in 2015, after more than half a century.
Modern conveniences, such as mobile-phone coverage and internet access, are now common, however for all the recent changes, Myanmar remains at heart a rural nation of traditional values - though one may have hard time to find someone among the younger generation without a smartphone or Facebook profile.
One will still encounter men wearing the sarong-like longyi and chewing betel nut, spitting the blood-red juice onto the ground, women with faces smothered in thanakha (a natural sunblock), and cheroot-smoking grannies. Trishaws still ply city streets, while the horse or bullock and cart is common rural transport.
-----
We carefully planned our 3-weeks long Burmese adventure around 6-days long hiking trip in the remote Chin state, where we commenced our journey in the hilltop settlement of Mindat, and subsequently hiked for four days across ethnic minority villages using old footpaths and mule trails.
Besides that, Bagan was the obvious spot to spend a few days exploring its temples, and we also spent a few days more in the south around Hpa-An. Then, finally, Ngapali was the ultimate destination for our beach leisure time.

In these opening interviews leaders from the private sector, civil society, and government stir our imaginations with their bold plans for how to improve our agricultural value chains from the farm to the final consumer.
I did stop putting up rows and started sewing these together because I know they can get pretty tedious after a while if I leave it all to the end! Along about the fifth row, I got to thinking that it would really be fun to go dust mop the floors, so I knew it was time for a sewing break :)

Fiat Weighs Maserati, Parts Spinoffs to Boost Value
By Tommaso Ebhardt
23 augustus 2017 13:54:40 CEST 23 augustus 2017 15:51:55 CEST
Sweeping overhaul would focus company on mass-market cars
Plan is under discussion, with decision seen in early 2018
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV is considering options including a plan to spin off the upscale Maserati and Alfa Romeo brands as well as its components operations, according to people familiar with the discussions.
The moves would focus the Italian-American company on mass-market cars to make Fiat Chrysler more attractive for a potential combination with a competitor, said the people who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. The luxury-car operations could be worth as much as 7 billion euros ($8.3 billion), while Magneti Marelli and other parts businesses are valued at up to 5 billion euros, analysts estimate.
Discussions among executives are progressing, with several options still under consideration, including just separating one or more of the component units, which also include Teksid and Comau, the people said. A final decision may not be made until early 2018 and the timing of carrying out the transactions remains uncertain, they said. Fiat Chrysler declined to comment.
The plan is also meant to unlock value for the Agnelli family and other shareholders as the company continues to underperform peers, the people said. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates that Fiat Chrysler’s businesses are worth about 50 billion euros on their own, double the group’s current enterprise value of 24.5 billion euros.
Fiat shares rose 4.3 percent in Milan trading to record high of 11.96 euros, valuing the company at 18.5 billion euros. Its controlling shareholder Exor climbed as much as 1.5 percent.
Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne, 65, is preparing his final five-year business plan before he leaves the carmaker in 2019. Separating parts of the group is a familiar tool for the executive. The company spun off truck and tractor maker CNH Industrial NV in 2011 and supercar brand Ferrari in 2016. Combined, the entities now have a market value of $57 billion, compared to about $6 billion in 2004, when Marchionne took charge.
Under the proposal, Fiat Chrysler intends to keep Jeep to anchor the mass-market car business, which also includes the Dodge and Ram nameplates, the people said. Jeep has attracted interest from China’s Great Wall Motor Co., which said on Tuesday that there were “big uncertainties” that it would pursue a transaction.
“With Great Wall expressing a clear interest in all or part of Fiat Chrysler, the focus shifts from earnings to breakup value potential,” Exane BNP analysts Dominic O’Brien and Stuart Pearson said in a note Wednesday.
Breakup Risks
Still, a breakup strategy carries sizable risks, and Fiat is evaluating those, the people said. Alfa Romeo is in the early stages of its push to become a global luxury-car brand and still needs billions of euros in investment to develop new models to compete with the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz. And neither Maserati nor Alfa Romeo have the allure of the Ferrari marque. To offset these hurdles, Fiat may look to secure a partner for its upscale brands, the people said.
The pressure to act is clear. Despite a 34 percent surge this year, Fiat shares are still among the cheapest in the Stoxx 600 Automobiles & Parts index, trading at 4.6 times estimated 12-month earnings compared with the industry average of 7.4 times. Car-parts maker Faurecia, one of Magneti Marelli’s competitors, trades at 11.4 times estimated earnings, while BMW is at 7.2 times.
A breakup of Fiat would be another step in the billionaire Agnelli family’s plan to wean itself from a dependence on the volatile mass-market car business. Under John Elkann, the clan’s chief, Fiat’s biggest shareholder has been seeking to diversify its wealth through its holding company Exor NV, including expanding its interests in real estate and reinsurance. Elkann has said Exor would be prepared to reduce its 24.5 percent stake in Fiat Chrysler in a deal to create a bigger group.
Intensifying Pressure
Marchionne has long been a vocal proponent of consolidation, arguing that the industry wastes money by developing multiple versions of the same technology. Those pressures have only intensified as countries such as the U.K. and France set a deadline for the end of combustion engines, and self-driving technologies and ride-hailing services threaten to upend the auto industry’s traditional business model.
The Fiat CEO acknowledged that deeper changes might be coming when he said last month that the automaker will evaluate whether to spin off some of its businesses. The company is pushing to eliminate 4.2 billion euros in debt by the end of next year.
“Fiat management has very clearly opened the door for potential separation of some of its businesses,” Adam Jonas, an analyst with Morgan Stanley, said in a note.
