It's common for people with diabetes to fear fruit – or avoid it altogether – because they're afraid of it messing with their blood sugar levels. While there is some natural sugar (read: fructose) in fruit, your favorite sweet treat doesn't have to be off-limits.
If you're diabetic, you shouldn't only be focused on food's sugar content – but also carbohydrates, which can dramatically affect your blood sugar levels.
So, what fruits have the lowest carb count per serving? According to the , there are only 11 g of carbs in a cup of diced watermelon or a cup of whole strawberries; 13 g in a cup of diced cantaloupe; 12 g in a cup of sliced avocado (yep, it's a fruit!); 14 g in a medium-sized peach; 25 g in a medium-sized apple; and 27 g in a banana.
Fruit can actually be a wonderful treat for diabetics. It's chock-full of health-boosting nutrients and phytonutrients – such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, flavonoids, and carotenoids – that work together to help protect diabetics against other chronic diseases like heart disease (which ).
Whether you're newly diagnosed or you've been battling diabetes for years, there's nothing to fear about fruit. Just make sure to consult your physician or a registered dietitian who's also a certified diabetes educator to find out what's best for you.

Theoretically, pardon boards are supposed to have wide latitude to dispense mercy. They are not bound by previous legal rulings of the courts and may give full sway to whatever heart or conscience dictates. But, being appointees of the governor (and subject to removal at his descretion), they can hardly ignor the wishes of their patron. There are no special qualifications required by law for the job, so Board positions are natural slots for political appointments.
Stephen Bright of the Southern Center for Human Rights, the attorney trying to save Wallace's life, asked the board during a hearing Friday to wait at least 90 days before holding the hearing because two members of the five-member board abruptly resigned Thursday [June 14, 2002]. "We asked them to grant a 90 day stay because of this political storm, and they don't even have a full board. They didn't decide one way or another and asked us to go on and put on our case."
The two former members are pending an ethics investigation. Walter Ray is a former state senator and Bobby Whitworth who is a former corrections commissioner. Both have been under investigation over allegations they accepted money to lobby legislators on behalf of a company that supervises probationers. Their names have also been mentioned in an unrelated investigation of state senator Van Streat, D-Nicholls, who faces charges that he took a campaign contribution in exchange for helping get a convicted murdered moved to a less secure prison.
The same day the two board members resigned, Governor Barnes appointed Buddy Nix, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, to fill one of the seats and stated he would fill the other seat later.
The board told the media they would have a decision Monday on whether it will commute Wallace's sentence or grant him 90 days so Governor Barnes can appoint another member to fill the additional vacent seat.
The Equal Time column concerning the good works and reputation of the Georgia parole board was quite amusing ("Georgia Parole Board Leads In Public Service," @ issue, May 1).
Granted, the parole board has become more professional and has achieved high grades. Unfortunately, the under-the-table deals of Walter Ray and Bobby Whitworth undermine the board's credibility.
Ray and Whitworth are intelligent and should know that the consultant work in which they engage is wrong. It may not be technically illegal, but it is certainly improper and unethical. For the sake of the board and the state, they should resign or be relieved of their duties.

Australia has some of the oldest and most visually spectacular rock art in the world, but much of it is difficult to access in rugged wilderness terrain. Wildrocks Publications makes some of this art available to all in a series of high quality books that are proudly printed in Australia.
Author, photographer, and publisher Mike Donaldson is a geologist and bushwalker who has been documenting rock art sites across Australia for more than 30 years, particularly in Western Australia's Pilbara and Kimberley regions.
In 2009 he published Burrup Rock Art: Ancient Aboriginal rock art of Burrup Peninsula and Dampier Archipelago because this National Heritage listed art treasure remained virtually unknown to most Australians.
In 2012-13 a three-volume series on the prolific rock art of the Kimberley was published.
Kimberley Rock Art -Volume One: Mitchell Plateau Area was released in April 2012;
Kimberley Rock Art -Volume Two: North Kimberley was released in October 2012;
Kimberley Rock Art -Volume Three: Rivers and Ranges was released in April 2013.
Wildrocks Publications has been established to bring these national and indeed world heritage art treasures to a wider audience so that they can be appreciated, researched, and hopefully protected for future generations. Images in the books have been approved for publication by the traditional Aboriginal owners.

The download option below provides access to the SHS Variable Lookup system, which provides basic metadata about the questions/variables within the survey.
The full 2012 SHS dataset contains around 11,000 cases with each case having approximately 3,000 variables.
Not only are the datasets very large, they are also very complex. Understanding which variables are contained within which datasets, and knowing whether these are subject to change, is very difficult to keep on top of. To help provide contextual information, we have published List of Topics and Survey Questionnaires to allow users to read through documentation.
To provide further help, we have also developed a quick SHS Variable Lookup system, which provides an interactive way of getting an at-a-glance summary of the variable coverage across the SHS datasets. Please see the download option below.
This tool is still in development so if you have any comments on how this can be improved, or additional information you would like integrated, then please Contact us and let us know.

Authorities in Ghana have busted a fake US embassy in the capital Accra run by a criminal network that for a decade issued illegally obtained authentic visas, the US State Department has said.
Until it was shut down, the sham embassy was housed in a rundown, pink two-storey building with a corrugated iron roof and flew an American flag outside. Inside hung a portrait of the US president, Barack Obama.
"It was not operated by the United States government, but by figures from both Ghanaian and Turkish organised crime rings and a Ghanaian attorney practising immigration and criminal law," the State Department said in a statement.
Turkish citizens who spoke English and Dutch posed as consular officers and staffed the operation. Investigations also uncovered a fake Dutch embassy, the State Department said.
The crime ring issued fraudulently obtained but legitimate US visas and false identification documents, including birth certificates at a cost of $6,000 (£4,700) each, the statement said.
During raids that led to a number of arrests, authorities also seized authentic and counterfeit Indian, South African and Schengen zone visas and 150 passports from 10 different countries along with a laptop and smartphones.
The statement did not say how the gang obtained the authentic visas or how many people were believed to have illegally entered the US and other countries using visas issued by the crime ring.
Visas for western countries are in high demand in Africa and embassies say the visa market is a big target for organised crime.
The real US embassy in Ghana is a prominent and heavily fortified complex in Cantonments, one of the capital's most expensive neighbourhoods. Lines of people queue outside each day for visa appointments and other consular business.
US authorities conducting a broader security operation were tipped off about it and assembled a team including the Ghana Detectives Bureau and police as well as other international partners to shut down the ring.

I spend a lot of time at my Mac. I love my iPad and iPhone, but my Mac is still where I spend most of my time. Between writing and making podcasts, this is the place where my tools of choice reside. Since it's the end of the year, I figured, why not mention a bunch of Mac apps that I use every day? If there were a gift-giving holiday coming up, you could even use that as an excuse to buy them.
I write in BBEdit most of the time. Not always: My novels, which are very long and require outlines and notes and stuff, are done in an app that shall remain shrouded in mystery for a couple more paragraphs.
Yes, BBEdit is a text editor that's preferred by programmers. I am not a programmer, I do not write anything you'd seriously call a program, and yet I also rely on BBEdit. I do write in HTML and CSS and Markdown, and BBEdit's not bad for those. I save a lot of time by using scripts and regular expressions, and BBEdit's scripting and regex support are top notch.
I could probably write in any app at this point. I write in BBEdit because its power is there when I need it, to process text and the like, and it gets out of my way the rest of the time. It feels like home.
I wrote the first half of my first novel manuscript in BBEdit, with my outline in OmniOutliner. At the time I was test-driving a whole bunch of different apps focused on longform writing, and the one that spoke to me—the one that had features I wanted when I wanted them, and didn't get in my way when all I wanted to do was write—was Scrivener.
I'm sure I'm still not using more than a fraction of Scrivener's features, but I love the fact that my novel is a manuscript and an outline simultaneously, that each Scrivener file can contain all my notes, research, cut bits, and the like. Its progress tracker kept me on track when I was grinding through tough days and failing to make my word count. It's got fancy export features that let me get it out in a decent manuscript format, or even an ebook format, which I'm also grateful for.
I wrote the last half of my first novel, as well as the two that followed, in Scrivener. (Yes, they're all unpublished. I'm working on the rewrite of one of them now.) That's hundreds of thousands of words poured into one app. I'd do it all again—and might, one day.
BreakTime is a utility that forces me to stand up and move around rather than sit at my desk all day, which is what I'd otherwise do. It's a convenient, configurable utility that reminds you when it's time to take a break. You can set how often it reminds you, you can quickly defer it if you're right in the middle of something important, and it automatically detects when you've taken a break on your own and resets its internal clock. It's simple, smartly designed, and exactly what my doctor (okay, technically my physical therapist) ordered.
I realize that everyone in our particular set of computer-interested people probably knows the facts about password security. How you shouldn't use the same password on different sites, how your password should be "strong" (composed of numerous symbols and stuff, not just letters and numbers), all of that. And yet every time I venture out into my community or talk to a member of my family about what they're using to take care of their passwords, I discovered that close friends and relatives of mine are using a single password on all the sites they use, and generally it's a close to an all-lowercase password as possible. Many of them also have a file on their computers (or in one case, a paper notebook) containing a master list of all their passwords.
You may have read the hype about how Slack is the greatest thing ever. I'm not sure about that, but as someone who used to work in an office with a large contingent of remote employees, and as someone who now works out of his house, I've tried a lot of group-communication products over the years. I've come to like Slack more than Campfire and HipChat, but in the end it's more about the connection to people—we've got Slack instances for Relay FM and The Incomparable, and those chat rooms keep me sane some days.
The latest version of the Slack app for Mac is more or less a glorified web view, but by allowing me to quickly switch between multiple Slack chat rooms, it gets my endorsement. As does Slack in general. Looking beyond the hype, this is a way for teams to stay in touch, and that's important—especially if they're not all in the same room.
I use the Fantastical iOS app, too—more on that in (gasp!) a forthcoming story.
If you listen to podcasts that stream live, you may also like to visit their IRC-based chat rooms and chat with other listeners. Most live-streaming networks embed a basic IRC client in the web page you use to listen. If you'd like something a little nicer, consider a dedicated app. Lingo is what I've been using lately. It seems more stable than my old standby, Colloquy.
This simple utility lets me control iTunes with several simple keyboard shortcuts. I realize my keyboard has iTunes controls in the top row, but I've been using the same music-control keyboard shortcuts on my Mac since I was listening to the Apple CD Audio Player app under Mac OS 9. I'm not going to stop now.


It was the summer going into my Junior Year of high school. I had just recently returned from an extensive community service trip to Ecuador where all I did was hike, perform physical labor and eat a diet of what seemed to be reduced to rice and the few granola bars I managed to bring with me. As a young high school girl, naturally, I thought about how much weight I must have been losing, but to my dismay, when I landed back in America and stepped up on the scale, I learned that I actually gained weight. And, let me tell you, it felt like the end of the world. This was the moment that shattered the little confidence I had and, literally, changed my life.
Seems sudden, right? Well, when I think back on the previous year, I had become obsessed with working out and eating healthy. Normally, I was someone whose workout consisted of walking from class to class and playing volleyball in gym class once a week. So, in 10th grade when I began to workout, I lost some weight... and it feel good. Little did I know, in the back of my mind I was slowly developing an obsession; an obsession with losing weight. Although I will never fully know the root of my mental instability that led me to that one breaking point in the summer going into my Junior Year, I like to believe that this moment is when I became aware of it all. So, little by little I ate less and less and my clothes began to feel more and more loose, until, a little less than a month later, I decided to weigh myself again. I stepped on that scale and I was ecstatic to see that I had lost 15 pounds. I'm pretty sure I even had a little celebratory dance in the bathroom by myself. Today, I can picture that moment in my head and all I want to do is go back in time and shake myself and realize what I was doing was so unhealthy. Anyway, I continued to eat the way I was eating and to think the way I was thinking with no care in the world. I didn't realize what I was not only doing to my body, but my mind and my loved ones around me. My friends would constantly mention to me that I wasn't eating anything, but it still didn't register and I just continued on with my "lifestyle." The sad thing is, I blocked my mind from letting myself see what was actually standing in the mirror: a normal-weight teenage girl.
This might sound unrealistic but, many suffering months later I began to realize that I laughed less and cried more, I had more bad days than I had good and overall, I was in a lot of pain. I didn't want to feel like this anymore, so, with the support of my family and friends, I got help. Although it took me awhile, I can say, without a doubt, I am stronger, healthier and more positive about my body than I ever thought I could be.
Heading into Eating Disorder Awareness Week I want to emphasize that having a negative body image is something people of all genders and ages experience. However, you shouldn't live your life feeling like some part of you is unhappy with how you look. It is important to love your body the way it is, instead of picturing it in a way you would rather it be.
Every day we are flooded with images of an idealized body on the cover of magazines, television screens and while scrolling through Instagram on our phones. We live in a world where it is a struggle to remain body positive, however, it is not impossible. To be body positive is simply loving your body, flaws and all, and accepting the fact that all bodies are different and special in their own way. Trust me, I understand the difficulties that one encounters when trying to remain positive about their body. However, I am here to tell you it is possible and worth it. Happiness shouldn't be determined by your weight and size, but your potentials and qualities that make you, you.
Not only do we live in a world with prominent forces promoting negative body image, we also live in a world with prominent movements for body positivity awareness. Body positivity is a popular topic that has taught us to learn how to love our bodies; that we are more than just our bodies; what our bodies are capable of; and so much more. This movement has created an open environment for people of all ages and genders to help each other instead of pulling each other down.


Police had named Tammy P. Mann as a person of interest soon after the baby was discovered in a car seat July 3.
A 23-year-old woman has been arrested in the case of an abandoned baby found earlier this month, Milwaukee police said Thursday.
Police had named Tammy P. Mann as a person of interest soon after the baby was discovered in a car seat early on July 3 near North Sherman Boulevard and West Hampton Avenue.
The baby, estimated to be between 4 and 6 months old, was found unharmed on a front porch and was wearing a gray Mickey Mouse T-shirt, police said.
Milwaukee police said Mann was in custody Thursday and charges will be referred to prosecutors in the coming days. The department has not said what relation Mann has to the baby.
Police officials did not immediately respond to questions about what potential charges she might be facing and referred questions about the baby's status to Child Protective Services.

The Nets 'and Lakers' failures highlight the flaws of NBA super teams
Holds space while article actions load
The NBA Finals must continue now without the Brooklyn Nets, the league's most soulless and defective all-star conglomerate. Give yourself time to adjust, okay? Not to disappointment, but enjoyment. Without the Nets, the rest of the off-season will be so much more fun.
The first round is not over, but all franchises following the outdated superteam model are on vacation. The Los Angeles Lakers, led by the careless trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, finished 33-49 with an aging roster that included five future Hall of Famers. The Los Angeles Clippers, who played all season without the injured star Kawhi Leonard, lost in the play-in tournament after their second marquee player, Paul George, tested positive for coronavirus. And then the Nets – the last hope for inorganic teams built on the whims of restless stars – were swept out of the playoffs Monday night.
It was fitting that the Boston Celtics – the team that Irving stopped by three years ago before traveling to Brooklyn to team up with Kevin Durant – were the ones keeping the diet. Fittingly, the first team eliminated this post-season was the top-heavy, incomplete team that now stands in opposition to the league's latest team-building best practice.
The Nets need a culture reset after their humiliating sweep of the Celtics
Just a year ago, the Nets were the top of Durant's size 18 Nikes from eliminating the Milwaukee Bucks and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals. After the classic seven-game series in the second round, the Bucks won the NBA title, with Giannis Antetokounmpo rejoicing to prove that an organization diligently built around a patient superstar can thrive in an era where the best players have preferred to merge and turn the game into fantasy basketball.
"It's easy to go somewhere and win a championship with someone else," Antetokounmpo said at a celebration last July. "It's easy. I could go to a super team and just do mine and win a championship. It's the hard way to do it and we did it."
Of course, with better luck, Durant could have celebrated the third championship of his career, and the whole superteam phenomenon would remain the standard. But small margins can still be crucial, and suddenly the shift is impossible to ignore.
The top teams this season were all built in the classic way, which means that great emphasis was placed on developing and using all roads to upgrade instead of removing the list to clear space in the salary cap and pursue more free players with all stars . It usually takes a glamor market to apply the super team strategy, but right now there are solid opportunities in the NBA. The eight teams that won at least 50 games during the regular season tell a more diverse story than usual: Phoenix, Miami, Memphis, Boston, Golden State, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Dallas.
There is very good and very good throughout the NBA right now. There may not be a good team; The sun is closest, but we have to see if they can hold out without Devin Booker for a while. There is certainly no budding dynasty. But the controversy seems more realistic for a larger number of teams, and although the NBA has never needed it to thrive, this level of parity is a refreshing change.
The appetite to create a possible super team does not diminish. However, it is important to check the warning label. The Lakers, who won the championship in 2020, will not regret having bought James and mediated him often. But they are paying a price they had not anticipated now that he is 37 and unable to cover the majority of the ill-considered decisions the team makes. Their problems are not as simple as keeping Davis healthy. They are all-in on a plan that will leave the franchise barren when James finishes in LA, and there is no graceful way to balance short- and long-term roster maintenance anymore.
In Brooklyn, the Nets are three seasons inside the Durant-Irving partnership. They were expecting a slow start because Durant was recovering from Achilles surgery when they picked him up from Golden State three years ago. But over the last two seasons, Durant has been available for only 90 of the possible 154 games in the regular season. Irving, who sat out and chose to resist a New York vaccine mandate this season, has played in 83 out of 154 games during that time.
Brooklyn has repeatedly tried to put together a Big Three. Instead, the Nets have a Big One and a Half. There's Durant, who carries too much at the age of 33. And there's Irving, their flashy part-time star and full-time contract.
Maybe the injured Ben Simmons will return next season with a healthy back and a competitive mindset. So much is certain, though: The current situation is significantly worse than three summers ago, when Durant and Irving joined a Brooklyn team that touted a full lineup of role players, including Jarrett Allen, Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert. The three are gone now and the two all-stars are both in their 30s and looked helpless against the Celtics' defense.
Still, Irving continues to speak as if leading the show. Irving spoke after the sweep that he and Durant "managed this franchise together" with owner Joe Tsai and General Manager Sean Marks. It was either funny or disturbing delusions. Irving was too selfish to take the vaccine when his team desperately needed him on the pitch, but now he wants to be a shot caller.
Which players will cash in during the NBA Finals?
Do you remember when Irving talked about a similar collaborative coaching effort with Steve Nash? How are you? Nash will be lucky to survive and come back for a third season.
Irving, who possesses the best handle and layup package of any contrarian in history, should spend the free season managing his narcissism and let the franchise try to fix this mess without interference.
Because of talent, you have to give Brooklyn another chance to get it right. However, there is growing evidence that Nets is a volatile and inadequate mix. No matter how much Durant and Irving like to play together, they have not been good to each other so far.
Now there is a fresh group of teams and a new generation of stars who are not yet obsessed with combining forces and moonlight as general managers. Not surprisingly, their team has balance, depth and more ways to win.
And the 30-year-olds are back to drifting deeper into their final good years in the sport. They are stubborn, suspicious and take on more than their bodies can handle.
Twelve years ago, when James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh came together in Miami, the start of the superteam era seemed like a party. Now, after yet another disappointing ending in Brooklyn, the Nets look tired and a little relieved that the drama is over.
The NBA is too star-studded to declare the death of super teams, but the approach is tired. The message is clear: Build better. Build more comprehensively. Build like Brooklyn at your own risk.

            return true
        }

        func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
            print("Not working")
        }

    }

}

A: You have to add textView.delegate = context.coordinator to makeUIView to register the coordinator to receive updates from UITextView.

            )
                .frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 0, maxHeight: .infinity)
        }

       }

        myTextView.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.0, alpha: 0.05)

        return myTextView
    }

    func updateUIView(_ uiView: UITextView, context: Context) {

CT Scan for COVID Detection
At present, CT scan for COVID Detection is mostly used to find coronavirus, and scanning is essential for the treatment of it.
The basic reasons for doing studies in medicine are the illness, the signs of the disease, and the prognosis. Additionally, if the result of a test will provide specific knowledge that cannot be found by other means, the care must be geared towards that. We believe that because it has become commonplace to use a computed tomography (CT) scans of the thorax during the novel coronavirus pandemic, that the test can fill one or fulfill all the following criteria.
CT scan results show
A year-long clinical trial was done by the organization known as the Cochrane (previously known as the Cochran Collaboration on Vascular Imaging Analysis) to examine if COVID-19 scanning was accurate. These investigations spanned 41 separate studies and included over 16,000 participants. Accurate testing was effective in detecting COVID-19 in about 88% of individuals who had an RT-PCR result on the DNA test. In essence, the RT-PCR misses 30% of people who test positive for CO19, making it an unreliable test for detecting COVID-19 disease. Due to difficulties in acquiring RT-PCRs due to strained laboratory facilities, the RT-PCR needs to be accompanied by a health warning: a typical RT-PCR has to negative ratio and may occur at an early stage of the disease.
Collecting the root cause of the CT scan
However, an economic examination would yield a virtually assured explanation. 20% of CT patterns that met the CO19 disease criteria were found to be misdiagnosed, while the remaining were convincingly labeled as COVID. If you tell anyone who has COVID-19 that they have the disease, you risk the consequences of denying the reality.
The third frequently-cited explanation for doing a CT: more predicted to result in worse outcomes. In this context, two things need to be noted: The increased severity of the findings on CT at an early stage of the disease progression is representative of the disease's progression, and we know that this.
This is dynamic; meaning a limited involvement CT will progress to a severe one. Also, CT results revealing increased CT findings when oxygen levels are stable mean little, showing that CT cannot improve upon tools such as an oximeter.
While such patterns of lung involvement are related to worse health outcomes in clinical study settings, it is necessary to point out that none of these findings have been consistently found in CT scans and this is currently the main reason for CT scanning.
The COVID-19 threats
Many people ask what the problem is with doing a chest X-ray. It was shown in the NEJM in 2007 that "that only 0.4% of all cancers in the United States could be due to radiation from CT scans, and further research indicated that the number could be as high as 1.5-2%." This should not have happened had this been a highly effective and practical exam.
Additionally, radiation hazards are to the individuals receiving the scan, the nurses, and staff who are in the radiology department, and also to the patients themselves Given that CT scanners need to be held in an air-conditioned setting, there is a risk of viral transmission at this facility.
CT scans have been single-ordered on me as a physician treating COVID-19 disease in the past year I have asked the lab to test for secondary lung infections in individuals who have been in the hospital for a long time and in whom the RT-PCR results showed a trace of blood. There have been cases in which intensive care patients with COVID have used ventilator settings. Exception indications should be interpreted cautiously.
Don't take for granted that all CT scans are equal
Ask your physician if a CT scan is required, and inquire a little. If it is being used for diagnosis, why not measure it twice as accurately with an RT-PCR? If it is being done despite the demonstrated usefulness of COVID being present, question if a minimum presence of COs will ensure an uncontaminated course of treatment, or if a higher requirement for oxygen means treatment is necessary.
Strive to investigate where therapeutic interventions are successful (rather than clinical findings such as oxygen levels). There are no guarantees when you choose this option; however, you will have a clear idea of the risks involved.

Carrie Meek, pioneering Miami congresswoman and champion of Black communities, dies at 95

Meek, the grandchild of a slave and a sharecropper's daughter who became one of the first black Floridians elected to Congress since Reconstruction, died Sunday, Nov. 28, 2021. She was 95.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Carrie Meek, the grandchild of a slave and a sharecropper's daughter who became one of the first Black Floridians elected to Congress since Reconstruction, died Sunday. She was 95.
Meek died at her home in Miami after a long illness, her family said in a statement. The family did not specify a cause of death.
Meek started her congressional career at an age when many people begin retirement. She was 66 when she easily won the 1992 Democratic congressional primary in her Miami-Dade County district. No Republican opposed her in the general election.
Alcee Hastings and Corrine Brown joined Meek in January 1993 as the first Black Floridians to serve in Congress since 1876 as the state's districts had been redrawn by the federal courts in accordance with the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
On her first day in Congress, Meek reflected that while her grandmother, a slave on a Georgia farm, could never have dreamed of such an accomplishment, her parents told her that anything was possible.

"They always said the day would come when we would be recognized for our character," she told The Associated Press in an interview that day.
In Congress, Meek championed affirmative action, economic opportunities for the poor and efforts to bolster democracy in and ease immigration restrictions on Haiti, the birthplace of many of her constituents.
She also was known for her liberal opinions, folksy yet powerful oratory and colorful Republican bashing.
"The last Republican that did something for me was Abraham Lincoln," she told the state delegation to the 1996 Democratic Convention in Chicago.
Meek joined her son Kendrick, a former state trooper and state senator, in a 2000 sit-in at then-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's office to protest an end to affirmative action policies. She had long argued in favor of such policies, since earning her master's degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1948. At the time, Blacks were not admitted to graduate schools in Florida.
Meek decided not to seek a sixth term in 2002. Her son Kendrick succeeded in winning her heavily Democratic district, a seat he held for four terms before an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate in 2010.

After leaving Congress, Carrie Meek returned to Miami and created a foundation to work on education and housing issues. She was also criticized for some of her business dealings.
She lobbied for a biotech park that was planned for Miami's impoverished Liberty City neighborhood but never materialized. County authorities eventually started a criminal investigation, and the park's developer was arrested in October 2009 on charges that he stole nearly $1 million from the project.
Congressional records showed that Meek was paid while her son sought millions of federal dollars for the project. Meek said she was paid as a consultant, and both mother and son denied their efforts were linked.
Before entering politics, Meek worked as a teacher and administrator at Miami-Dade College.
She was elected to the Florida House in 1978, succeeding pioneer Black legislator Gwen Cherry, who had been killed in an auto accident. She became one of the first African Americans and the first Black woman to serve in the Florida Senate since the 1800s
Carrie Pittman was born to Willie and Carrie Pittman in Tallahassee on April 29, 1926, and was the youngest of 12 children. Her father worked in nearby fields as a sharecropper and her mother took in laundry from white families.
[Popular on SunSentinel.com] Miami-Dade officer shoots armed 15-year-old, department says »
She graduated from Florida A&M University in 1946 with a degree in biology and physical education. The university named its building for Black history archives in her honor in 2007. She was a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
She accepted a position at Bethune Cookman College as an instructor and became the institution's first female basketball coach. In 1958, she returned to Florida A&M as an instructor in health and physical education. She held that position until 1961.
Meek continued her teaching career at Miami Dade Community College as the first Black professor, associate dean, and assistant to the Vice President from 1961 to 1979.
Then, she began her trailblazing political career, representing Florida's 17th Congressional District as a Democratic Florida State House Representative.

In Congress, Meek was a member of the powerful Appropriations Committee and worked to secure $100 million in aid to rebuild Dade County as the area recovered from Hurricane Andrew.
She retired in 2002 and shifted her focus to the Carrie Meek Foundation, which she founded in November 2001, to provide the Miami-Dade community with much-needed resources, opportunities, and jobs. Meek spearheaded the Foundation's daily operations until 2015 when she stepped down due to declining health.

Meek is survived by her children Lucia Davis-Raiford, Sheila Davis Kinui and Kendrick B. Meek, seven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and multiple nieces and nephews.
In a statement, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava called Meek a "true trailblazer."
"She was never afraid to use her voice to speak out against inequality or to fight for the disenfranchised and the vulnerable — and her towering legacy will continue to shape our community and the nation for generations to come," Levine Cava said.

Shahrah-e-Faisal will be declared a 'model road' today. The promise of a smoother driving experience on SF is attractive, but can the traffic police deliver?
This is a positive sign, as long as they follow through and citizens are responsible, it can all work out. It is also up to us. I'm onboard!
Model road is not only a road where traffic flow is smooth. Some other mandatory properties are associated with model roads, like proper street lights, well developed foot-paths, zebra crossings and working signals. Nothing there at SF. Specially the evening time at Lal-Kothi Nursery corridor is real horrible where street lights never work.
Lahore has kicked out karachi in comparison to rate of REAL progress.
By model road they mean a "real" model road with dinkies running on it.
Why dont you move to Lahore and save yourself wasting time on the roads. Lahore is so beautiful city plz leave my Karachi ASAP because it is crowded by all the beggers showing from every corner of the country..There is nothing in karachi, no lights, no streets, no food places, no laws..nothing, plz dont come to karachi it jungle..Lahore is an execellent city plz go there..
@ MB ! brother !
at SF the traffic has always been strict! and fine for stoping on zebra crossing is not new on SF !
MB … smile ! Please !
ITS BCOZ SF SEES MORE VIP MOVEMENT THAN ANY OTHER ROAD IN KARACHI. OFCOURSE VIP'S DONT REALI WANT A BUMPY RIDE DO THEY – AFTER A HARD DAYS WORK !!
I befg to differ !
SF has the highest density of traffic than any other road in Karachi !!!
Interestingly, I've always figured someone from Karachi becoming aggressive in a KHI vs LHE debate and then making a fool of him/her own self.
With all my apologies, I must confess Karachi is THE largest, and an important city in Pakistan and we don't argue on that. Abb khush??
may be that Shahra which was Drigh Road before is connected to MODEL Colony thats why it is now Model Road…. model colony residents kai purzor israr par……….any input ??
MB this time you really did it, comparing Lahore with Karachi, what a joke. these cities simply cannot be compared.
1/ The rate of population increase – no comparision.
3/ Resource allocation – no comparison, Untill recently karachi rcvd just enough to pay off its sweepers. Whereas, The Big brothers have consistantly got 60% of all the resources of all the provinces and their resource i.e. Agriculture, 80% of our economy, is not federally taxable, so we see nothing of it.
4/ All the port traffic of pakistan passes through this city.
5/ This city was dumped with the greatest number of Aghan refugees and the problems they brought, whereas, mysteriously they missed Lahore. Poor Peshawar and Quetta also suffered a similar fate.
6/ Karachi is multilingual, multi race, Lahore is essentially monolithic.
Lahore always had tons of money at its disposal and there has been sustained investment in its infrastructure, whereas, Karachi after a long long long time has seen actual development money, thanks to Musharraf.
Huq Ha! when will we come out of all this.

Danelec Marine, NAPA Join to Offer Cloud-based Ship IoT Solution
0 comments, 07/03/2018, by Guest/blogger, in News
HELSINKI, Finland, Mar 7, 2018 – Danelec Marine, the manufacturer of Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs), ECDIS, and ship-to-shore data solutions has teamed up with global maritime software, services and data analysis provider NAPA to deliver a complete cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) solution for ship performance analysis and optimization.
The new shipping IoT package combines Danelec's efficient, low-cost shipboard data collection and data transfer platform with NAPA's advanced analytics and optimization tools. The integration with DanelecConnect allows NAPA to offer its shipping customers a comprehensive turnkey IoT package encompassing numerous elements from onboard data collection to actionable ship and fleet performance analysis.
Danelec's second-generation DanelecConnect platform, which was launched last year, makes it easy for NAPA to capture data from shipboard sensors to use in their cloud-based applications thanks to the inclusion of an application programming interface (API) tool.
"This partnership with Danelec Marine eliminates one of the biggest barriers to delivering a true integrated IoT experience to shipowners, operators and charterers," said Pekka Pakkanen, Director, Development, NAPA Shipping Solutions. "Until now, accessing timely data from ships at sea has been challenging, typically requiring bespoke shipboard data collection and processing networks with connections to hundreds of data points. Often this involves custom interfaces with older legacy equipment or slow and sometimes unreliable manual data entry by ships' personnel. This has been manageable for some big companies, but on chartered vessels, for example, the initial investment has often been too high. DanelecConnect's universal data interface and wide service network solve these problems, enabling visibility into ships' performance parameters from shore at a far lower cost. With this solution, we can add value with high-quality analytics and optimization for a much wider range of vessels, including time chartered vessels."
DanelecConnect uses a small electronic remote server that connects with the ship's VDR and other data sources. It collects and processes the desired datasets for transmission via satellite to Danelec's cloud-based server ashore. NAPA pulls this data from DanelecConnect into its NAPA Office and NAPA Ship Performance Analytics platforms. These platforms offer a wide range of business intelligence and fleet optimization services for shipping companies; including machinery monitoring, fuel efficiency and hull condition analysis. This allows users to set key performance indicators and benchmarks, and use statistical modeling to predict performance.
"Our automatic data collection package is a technology spinoff from our VDR business," said Danelec Marine CEO, Hans Ottosen. "As one of the largest suppliers of marine VDRs, we have many years of experience in interfacing with all types of data sources on ships. We're now applying that accumulated expertise to the problem of capturing data and making it available to the maritime cloud-based specialists like NAPA, so they can focus on what they do best – providing ship operators, charterers and other maritime stakeholders with crucial data for better decision making ashore."
"Another barrier in the past has been the high cost of ship-to-shore communications. To that end, we have designed our onboard interface to transmit data efficiently and inexpensively through narrowband satellite channels," Ottosen said. "We can send hundreds or even thousands of accurate data samples per sensor through satellites for as little as $1 USD per day in total satellite airtime costs."
"In addition, our worldwide network of more than 600 certified service technicians, in more than 50 countries covering all the main seaports in the world, removes another worry for software service providers by maximizing uptime and minimizing service interruptions or delays," Ottosen added.
Ottosen noted that IoT is growing at a head-spinning pace worldwide. A recent Gartner report predicts that 5.5 million new IoT devices will come online every day in 2018, with more than 20.8 billion connected items by 2020. While other industry sectors around the world are embracing IoT solutions as a central part of their business, the maritime market has lagged behind. By bringing together the shipboard and shoreside components in a cost-effective integrated cloud-based package, the shipping industry can now become part of the IoT revolution with far-reaching benefits across all aspects of ships, shipping and the logistics value chain of which they are a part.
The first joint NAPA/Danelec Marine IoT solution has undergone successful sea trials on a vessel, with further installations scheduled in 2018, according to the two companies.
NAPA and Danelec Marine will present the ship IoT solution at a conference sponsored by Radio Holland at the APM 2018 Exhibition in Singapore, March 14-16, 2018.
About NAPA
In its nearly 30 years of operation, NAPA has become a global leader in software, services and data analysis for the maritime industry; providing best in class data-led solutions for safety, efficiency and productivity in both ship design and operations. NAPA operates globally, with 11 offices across Asia, Europe and the Americas supported by its Helsinki headquarters. To date, NAPA has nearly 400 user organizations for its design solutions and over 2,500 installations onboard vessels. For more information, visit www.napa.fi.
About Danelec Marine
Headquartered in Denmark, Danelec Marine is a leading supplier of Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs), ship-to-shore data communication systems and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). Danelec Marine was one of the first companies to bring to market VDRs and Simplified VDRs (S-VDRs) to meet the original IMO carriage requirements. More than 6,000 vessels today are equipped with a VDR or S-VDR designed and manufactured by Danelec Marine. The company has service facilities with factory-trained personnel in more than 50 countries and Certified Service Centers at strategic locations worldwide.

Henry Campbell-Bannerman
BBC Hulton Picture Library
(1836–1908). British statesman Henry Campbell-Bannerman served as prime minister of Great Britain from 1905 to 1908. He took the lead in granting self-government to the British-ruled South African Republic (also called Transvaal) in 1906 and the Orange Free State (Orange River Colony) in 1907. By accomplishing that feat, Campbell-Bannerman secured the loyalty of the Boers (South Africans of Dutch, German, or Huguenot descent) to the British Empire despite their recent defeat by the British in the South African War (1899–1902; also called Boer War).
Henry Campbell (he added his mother's family surname to that of his father in 1871) was born on September 7, 1836, in Glasgow, Scotland. He became a member of the House of Commons in 1868, obtaining many high-ranking positions, including chief secretary for Ireland from 1884 to 1885 and secretary of state for war in 1886 and from 1892 to 1895. In 1895 he persuaded the Duke of Cambridge, a cousin of Queen Victoria, to retire as commander in chief of the armed forces. During the duke's 39-year tenure, he had blocked army reform, and the queen, recognizing the need for change, rewarded Campbell-Bannerman with a knighthood.
In early 1899 Campbell-Bannerman was elected leader in the House of Commons of the Liberal Party, which at the time was deeply divided. His popularity helped unify the party and keep the imperialist members from seceding. In late 1905 Conservative prime minister Arthur James Balfour resigned, and Campbell-Bannerman accepted the post from King Edward VII. Campbell-Bannerman's cabinet included two future prime ministers, H.H. Asquith and David Lloyd George, as well as the first person from the working class ever to attain cabinet rank in Great Britain, John Elliot Burns. During his post, Campbell-Bannerman passed the Trades Disputes Act of 1906, which gave labor unions considerable freedom to strike.
In 1907 Campbell-Bannerman's health began to fail, and he resigned in favor of Asquith on April 5, 1908. Campbell-Bannerman died on April 22, 1908, in London, England.

The Nike perspective – Just Do It – is the appropriate perspective to re-building the US military after Afghanistan. Make no bones about it, a major cultural shift and re-orientation is required.
One can take the approach of debating at 50,000 feet whilst doing nothing practical to rebuild the force, or one can sequester and set in motion a black hole strategy, or one can recognize that the key building blocks are already at hand and we just need to get on with it.
What are some of the key building blocks?
How can those building blocks be assembled into an effective post-Afghanistan military force and strategy?
How can the new platforms be leveraged as part of an overall strategic re-design? How will an effective US approach intersect with global allies?
Can the US have an effective arms export strategy in the years ahead if it does not embrace the new platforms ready to be built now?
How can we harvest the best and leave the rest from the past decade of land-based war?
This forum is dedicated to getting on with it. How can we put in motion change, which is effective in the short term but builds for the mid and long-term? Simply cutting budgets will not yield either cost savings or strategic renaissance.
I view the democrats as anti-military. They always want to cut the dept of defense budgets and weaken the military. With war lasting almost 10 years and muliple deployments of soldiers we should not be reducing troop strength. Also, there are numerous challenges and dangers across the globe with Iran and other contries where a conflict could easily escalate and require a strong american military to become engaged.
This nation needs to build up and support a strong military that can meet, and exceed, the requirements of american defense and supporting our ally's.

Happy Book Birthday! (February 16, 2021)
Posted on February 16, 2021 by buriedinabookshelf
Wishing the happiest of book birthdays to these lovely books and their even lovelier authors!
"The Wide Starlight" – Nicole Lesperance
The Hazel Wood meets The Astonishing Color of After in this dreamy, atmospheric novel that follows sixteen-year-old Eli as she tries to remember what truly happened the night her mother disappeared off a glacier in Norway under the Northern Lights.
Never whistle at the Northern Lights, the story goes, or they'll sweep down from the sky and carry you away.
Sixteen-year-old Eline Davis knows it's true. She was there ten years ago, on a frozen fjord in Svalbard, Norway, the night her mother whistled at the lights and then vanished.
Now Eli lives an ordinary life with her dad on Cape Cod. But when the Northern Lights are visible over the Cape for just one night, she can't resist the possibility of seeing her mother again. So she whistles—and it works. Her mother appears, with snowy hair, frosty fingertips and a hazy story of where she's been all these years. And she doesn't return alone.
Along with Eli's mother's reappearance come strange, impossible things. Narwhals swimming in Cape Cod Bay, meteorites landing in Eli's yard, and three shadowy princesses with ominous messages. It's all too much, too fast, and Eli pushes her mother away. She disappears again—but this time, she leaves behind a note that will send Eli on a journey across continents, to the northern tip of the world:
Find me where I left you.
"Amelia Unabridged" – Ashley Schumacher
Wednesday Books
Eighteen-year-old Amelia Griffin is obsessed with the famous Orman Chronicles, written by the young and reclusive prodigy N. E. Endsley. They're the books that brought her and her best friend Jenna together after Amelia's father left and her family imploded. So when Amelia and Jenna get the opportunity to attend a book festival with Endsley in attendance, Amelia is ecstatic. It's the perfect way to start off their last summer before college.
In a heartbeat, everything goes horribly wrong. When Jenna gets a chance to meet the author and Amelia doesn't, the two have a blowout fight like they've never experienced. And before Amelia has a chance to mend things, Jenna is killed in a freak car accident. Grief-stricken, and without her best friend to guide her, Amelia questions everything she had planned for the future.
When a mysterious, rare edition of the Orman Chronicles arrives, Amelia is convinced that it somehow came from Jenna. Tracking the book to an obscure but enchanting bookstore in Michigan, Amelia is shocked to find herself face-to-face with the enigmatic and handsome N. E. Endsley himself, the reason for Amelia's and Jenna's fight and perhaps the clue to what Jenna wanted to tell her all along.
Ashley Schumacher's devastating and beautiful debut, Amelia Unabridged, is about finding hope and strength within yourself, and maybe, just maybe, falling in love while you do it.
"We Are The Fire" – Sam Taylor
As electrifying as it is heartbreaking, Sam Taylor's explosive fantasy debut We Are the Fire is perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes and the legend of Spartacus.
In the cold, treacherous land of Vesimaa, children are stolen from their families by a cruel emperor, forced to undergo a horrific transformative procedure, and serve in the army as magical fire-wielding soldiers. Pran and Oksana―both taken from their homeland at a young age―only have each other to hold onto in this heartless place.
Pran dreams of one day rebelling against their oppressors and destroying the empire; Oksana only dreams of returning home and creating a peaceful life for them both.
When they discover the emperor has a new, more terrible mission than ever for their kind, Pran and Oksana vow to escape his tyranny once and for all. But their methods and ideals differ drastically, driving a wedge between them. Worse still, they both soon find that the only way to defeat the monsters that subjugated them may be to become monsters themselves.

Chapter 1250 Decoding: Poems stored in the chest, ink stored in the belly
'It's hard to explain' signified that there was going to be a long story inbound.
Song Shuhang immediately made a listening gesture to show that he was getting ready for the Great Northern Emperor to tell the story from the ancient era.
In fact, Song Shuhang really loved listening to gossip about the ancient era.
The Great Northern Emperor said, "Well, I guess I can summarize it in two to three sentences."
Song Shuhang: "…" Senior Beifang, can't you follow the script?
The Great Northern Emperor explained, "To sum it all up, there was a problem with the path of the ancient Heavenly City's 'Heavenly Emperor', and so I had no choice but to take advantage of death to get out of that situation. After that, it was only when little friend Song Shuhang activated the resurrection formation that I had prepared that I was finally able to return to life, but even after getting resurrected, I kept on getting the feeling that there was still something that I had left in the Heavenly City."
It really did take only two, three sentences to summarize all of it.
So, was the thing that the Great Northern Emperor had left in the 'Heavenly City'… the other 'Great Northern Emperor' from Slow-Witted Song's red-golden space?
Song Shuhang asked, "In that case, is the Great Northern Emperor in the red-golden space Beifang One? While you are Beifang Two?"
The Great Northern Emperor was baffled. "Huh?"
The sea turtle said, "Which one of you is the genuine one?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm the real one." After the Great Northern Emperor on the screen said that, he picked up a small bowl and took a spoonful.
Song Shuhang glanced at it, and curiously asked, "Is that jellied bean curd?"
The Great Northern Emperor said, "Oh? This is called jellied bean curd? I call it ┞●▲."
The sea turtle curiously asked, "Then, Master, do you think it's better sweet or salty?"
"Sweet or salty? I don't mind either. However, I like the hot and sour kind which is more fragrant." The Great Northern Emperor showed a face of satisfaction.
Song Shuhang said, "Heavens, there's even a hot and sour kind."
The sea turtle said, "Heresy."
The Great Northern Emperor said, "Huh? What do you mean?"
The sea turtle calmly said, "I'm just saying little friend Song's thoughts aloud. For him, all other kinds of jellied bean curd besides the sweet kind are wrong."
Recently, the sea turtle delved into 'psychology' quite a bit, and it liked to think about other people's thoughts.
The Great Northern Emperor: "…"
After a while.
The Great Emperor said, "I feel that yours and little friend Song's brains will taste great with some sugar."
Song Shuhang: 😳
The sea turtle: 😱
Great Emperor, we were wrong!
The Great Northern Emperor took another bite of the hot and spicy jellied bean curd, and said, "How did you and little friend Song end up in the Beast Realm?"
Song Shuhang sighed. "It's hard to explain in a few words."
The Great Northern Emperor then pointed the spoon toward Song Shuhang, and said, "Then just sum it up in two, three sentences."
Song Shuhang: "…"
The sea turtle said, "To sum it up, Pavilion Master Chu's Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion had been raided, and was pulled into the Beast Realm by some Tribulation Transcenders of the Beast Realm. After that, little friend Song and I started adventuring in the Beast Realm."
"Tribulation Transcenders of the Beast Realm moved the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion away? They made such a huge commotion, do they not want to live?" The Great Northern Emperor frowned slightly.
The Wielder of the Heaven's Will was soon going to change, yet they had actually made such a commotion. Were they not afraid of being targeted?
Song Shuhang added, "In addition, the Beast Realm Tribulation Transcenders also said that the 'Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion' was the Original Heavenly City."
"The Original Heavenly City… I see." The Great Northern Emperor put down the spoon, and said, "Tell me what happened more specifically. What ended up happening to the Beast Realm Tribulation Transcenders? Is the Original Heavenly City okay? Also, when did Slow-Witted Song make his reappearance?"
The sea turtle said, "All of the Beast Realm's Tribulation Transcenders were captured by Slow-Witted Song. He opened the red-golden space and trapped the Beast Realm's Tribulation Transcenders inside it. Also, the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion is currently pretty much completely ruined."
Song Shuhang said, "What happened at the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was actually quite complicated. Pavilion Master Chu stepped onto a weird 'path' and voluntarily caused the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion to break down. After that, her 'path' condensed a new Pavilion Master Chu. "
"Sure enough, it was just as I had guessed," the Great Northern Emperor said. "When it comes to the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion and Pavilion Master Chu, although I don't know much, the news about it being the Original Heavenly City was something that I came into contact with a number of times. Pavilion Master Chu's path should be very similar to the path of the 'Heavenly Emperor'."
Song Shuhang nodded. "So that's the case. Slow-Witted Song had also implicitly mentioned this."
The Great Northern Emperor said, "If I were to make a hypothesis… The reason for the creation of the second Pavilion Master Chu is similar to why I had to leave part of me in the ancient Heavenly City. Pavilion Master Chu's path may be a bit different, but overall, it should still be the same path as the Heavenly Emperor. Whether it is the Heavenly Emperor's path or Pavilion Master Chu's path, the [Second Self] is a critical factor. Unfortunately, how to have this second self come out is something that I am not clear on."
The sea turtle said, "But Master, don't you also have a second version of yourself?"
The Great Northern Emperor replied, "I was able to be reborn through a 'resurrection technique', and I had to die once in the past. Moreover, when preparing the 'resurrection technique', I and several of my friends had to put in great effort. There are some principles in the technique that are related to the path to immortality of a friend, and I can't elaborate on the details. Therefore, even I don't understand the process of how the second self ends up coming out of the Heavenly Emperor's path… Also, I'm sure that my clone is completely different from Pavilion Master Chu's clone."
Song Shuhang thought about it, and remembered what Immortal Master Copper Trigram had said.
Immortal Master had said that when he was on the mysterious island, he saw the tombs of an 'old' and 'new' Heavenly Emperor. "The second self is the critical factor. Were there also two Heavenly Emperors in the ancient Heavenly City?"
The Great Northern Emperor nodded his head before shaking it, and saying, "I'm not sure myself, but I'm getting a faint feeling that that is the case."
Song Shuhang squeezed his chin and fell into contemplation.
He remembered the 'puppet maiden' in his spatial bracelet.
The Great Northern Emperor confirmed that this puppet girl was his junior and that she was the genius who invented the crouching while holding one's head posture to transcend the tribulation.
At that time, Song Shuhang had asked the puppet maiden and the Great Northern Emperor if they recognized each other. However, the puppet maiden said that the Great Northern Emperor was a fake posing as the original one.
The bitter expression on the Great Emperor's face was still vivid in his memory.
The Great Northern Emperor's resurrection technique was unlikely to be an ordinary resurrection technique.
After all, an ordinary resurrection technique would not have been able to get him out of the 'ancient Heavenly City'.
In addition, Song Shuhang recalled the entrance to the forbidden area, with the golden disc on the locked door.
The secret to enter the forbidden area could be found within the 'mysterious sword technique' that Daoist Priest Li Tiansu had left in the Chu Family. It was from that scroll that Song Shuhang was able to acquire the method to open the door to the forbidden area.
When he found the method to open the door, Song Shuhang had also seen a picture of a man with two horns that was covered with mysterious runes, causing it to look like an ancient devil.
He had not really paid much heed to it at that time, and simply thought that the picture was related to the method to opening the door.
But now, he could not help but consider the matter a bit more.
This Great Emperor… Is he really not 'Great Northern Emperor Two'?
This thought appeared in Song Shuhang's mind, and it did not go away for a long time.
However, it did not matter whether this person was the Great Emperor One or Two.
Anyway, the Great Northern Emperor he knew was the one in front of him, and he only recognized this one. Whether he was One or Two, it did not really affect him.
The Great Northern Emperor asked, "By the way, since you came into contact with Slow-Witted Song, did you obtain the full version of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯, little friend Song?"
He remembered that Song Shuhang had wanted to forge the 'Combined Magical Treasure', and this required the full version of the cultivation technique.
"I almost forgot about it." Song Shuhang brought out the animal skin scroll.
The poison on the scroll had already been purified by Pavilion Master Chu Two.
Song Shuhang unfurled the scroll, and said, "This scroll is probably the code left by Slow-Witted Song, but I can't read the ancient text here."
The Great Northern Emperor said, "I see, let me take a look at it. Just let me finish my meal first. Afterwards, I'll translate it for you. However, little friend Song, the script of the ancient era is very important. If you have the time, master it as soon as possible."
Song Shuhang clenched his fists, and said, "Thank you, Senior. Also, I know. When I get back, I'm going to work hard on learning the language of the ancient era. I want to be able to speak it fluently before New Year's Eve. At the very least, I want to have no problems when it comes to daily communication, reading, and writing."
With the memory of a cultivator and the aid of the enlightenment stone, this goal was quite achievable.
After saying that, Song Shuhang spread open the animal hide scroll.
The Great Northern Emperor glanced at the scroll in Song Shuhang's hand and the content on it through the screen. "That thing really is written in Slow-Witted Song's style."
Song Shuhang asked, "Is it the secret text?"
The sea turtle replied, "It looks like it should be."
The Great Northern Emperor reached out and pulled out another scroll, and then took out a pen and began quickly writing on it.
The Great Emperor wrote in modern simplified Chinese characters.
After writing, he said to the sea turtle, "Prepare to receive it."
"Heavens~ Master, is it really alright for you to use spatial magical techniques right now?" the sea turtle said worriedly. After all, its master was in hiding.
The Great Northern Emperor replied, "I have several spatial magical treasures on hand. It is very easy to transfer some small items without making a commotion."
After a moment, spatial energy flashed in front of the sea turtle. The scroll that the Great Northern Emperor had written on appeared in the turtle's forelimb.
The sea turtle handed the scroll over to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang said, "Thank you, Senior Beifang."
Fortunately, many of his seniors knew the script of the ancient era. Otherwise, he would have gone mad from not having any way to decode the text nor even read it.
And so, he opened the translated scroll made by the Great Emperor.
[This is an idiot-proof secret text for decoding. As long as one can read the script of the ancient era, they can use it.]
The content really was in Slow-Witted Song's style.
[Decoding Step 1: Poems stored in the chest, ink stored in the belly. Please shred the secret book hidden in the 'All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family' and eat it. After that, go and buy a bottle of ink (remark: ordinary ink is good enough), and then drink it all. In this way, while one's chest contains hundreds of secret techniques and the bottle of ink flows down, the decoding mode is activated.]
[Decoding Step 2: After completing Step 1, start to practice the skills in the secret book of the 'monster alliance', and practice it 4 times repeatedly.]
[Decoding Step 3: After successfully completing the steps above, please skip to Step 9.]
[Decoding step 9: The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd steps are steps that I made just to fool around.]


How about we start this section off with a cute happy birthday poem for mom? Our mothers are extremely loving and caring individuals, who would do anything for us.
The least we could do is make our moms smile with joy.
They do so much for us throughout the year, by always being there for us.
With the following verses, each of us has an opportunity to thank that special lady in our lives, who has raised us, and has loved us from day one.
You don't need to spend a lot of money. Instead you could use your creativity and create a wonderful celebration that focuses on your mom.
my heart I shall give.
you've taught me to live.
and deserve lots of rest.
may your day be real kind.
is for your happiness to last.
that we shared in the past.
and I mean this sincerely.
That was meant to be a simple poem for mom which talks about wishing her happiness on her birthday and beyond.
Personally, I think that's among the most sincerest things we could say to our moms. That we love them and we want them to be happy.
Here's a nice little birthday card poem that you may want to share with your wonderful mom on her birthday. Hope she likes it. It will be a very nice/unique addition to that sweet greeting card.
who I love and I care.
and I'm so happy to spend.
with my mother and friend.
she's the focus on stage.
for her birthday this year.
with hugs that are dear.
I'm sure that any mom would love to receive a sentimental birthday poem like the one above. I'm thinking of sharing it with my mom on her birthday next January.
This next verse is a funny birthday poem for mom that is intended to make your mom smile and laugh.
shall drop his old head.
there's no need to spread.
so let's forfeit the gloom.
go pick up a broom.
not a book, nor a toy.
or you may actually attack.
Just please make sure your mom has a very good sense of humour if you decide to share this verse with her.
Most mothers and their daughters share a very special relationship. The next poem is an attempt to express that special bond they share and may be given to any mom from her daughter.
I'm so happy to say.
I'm much more than glad.
I hope dearly for you.
and shall always be true.
At the park that I jog at, I often see mothers and their daughters walking and chatting. It seems like they always have something to talk about. They share advice and are completely open with one another. That just reinforces the strength of their relationships.
This birthday poem may be given to a mother by her loving son. When I was brainstorming the ideas for this poem I simply thought of a few things that I would personally like to say to my mom on her birthday.
I'm not sure if I deserve.
when your heart I observe.
as we celebrate your birth.
we share time on this earth.
This last one was a bit shorter than the previous ones, but I still hope it's just as effective. Honestly, I can't wait to share it with my mom. However, I may need to switch up the last verse if I want to give it to her prior to her birthday (on a random day).
This last birthday poem is for a deceased mother. It wasn't easy to write at all. I did get a bit emotional.
down from heaven on me.
I'm sure you can see.
and I don't want to cry.
it's still hard to say bye.
are clear in my mind.
my heart you still touch.
I hope you had a good time reading these birthday poems for moms, and feel free to share any one of them with your precious mother.


"When you rock the boat you have no time to row and when you are rowing there isn't time to rock the boat."
When I first read that my reaction was, "So true!"
But then I thought more about it.
What if my job is to rock the boat?
Granted, it's important to define what that means. Certainly if you run an accounting firm, you don't need a lot of people rocking the boat. Your roles and the expectations of your customers are pretty well defined and clearly understood. But, what if I am in sales, or marketing, or engineering, or operations, or any of a hundred other roles that are expected to create new value for the company?
Do I want those people to fly a slot, fill a role, tow the line, or sit idly in the boat rowing the same way everyday? Or do I want them to constantly seek new ways to create value, serve customers, change the marketplace, and impact customers?
I think this is often a problem of perspective. If the boat is going in the wrong direction you would do everything in your power to steer it properly. You would rock it, row it, shift cargo, or throw something overboard if that's what it took. When the people in YOUR boat are concerned about the direction they will do the same. The issue is whether you want them to really challenge where you are going or just get on board.
I think the issue with wanting folks to "not rock the boat" is saying that you want people to follow your vision, and if they won't it's their fault.
If the people won't follow the leader it is ALWAYS the leaders fault. It's a lack of credibility. Or vision. Or clarity.
That doesn't mean you can't change the team when necessary. Values alignment and work competency being the principle reasons to do so. But, if you have people that are values aligned and competent in their work, you need to help them follow the vision.
That's what I dislike about the quote that I read. It really shifts the failure to follow to the follower. And that's not leadership, that's dictatorship.
What other commonly touted business platitudes do you accept without considering if they are true?
What are you guilty of assuming about the followers in your organization?
