The PKK ("Workers' Party of Kurdistan") is categorized as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US and the EU. The group resumed its thirty-year long armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015.
Since then, the PKK terrorist attacks killed over 800 members of Turkish security forces. They have also killed more than 350 civilians, including one hundred children. At least 8600 PKK terrorists were killed in army operations during the same period.
Police forces and the Turkish army launched attacks against positions of the separatist terrorist organization PKK and pursue its armed members in the south and southeast of the country and in northern Iraq in response to terrorist attacks by the organization within Turkey, which target civilians and members of security forces.
ANKARA (AA) Servet Günerigök - Six PKK terrorists were killed Friday in anti-terror operations in eastern Turkey, the Turkish army announced on its official website Saturday.
According to a statement issued by the Turkish General Staff, two terrorists were killed in the Dogubeyazit district of Agri province.
Armed forces killed two others in the Semdinli district of Hakkari province and two others in the Uludere district of Sirnak.
In addition, a civilian was injured in a PKK attack at a checkpoint located in Sirnak, according to the Turkish General Staff.
The Turkish General Staff also provided details about various seizures in the southeastern region.
Four improvised explosive devices, 250 kilograms of ammonium nitrate, 100 meters of cable wire and five kilograms of hemp seeds were seized in Bingol’s Genc district.
Moreover, 10 tubes used to make improvised explosive devices were found in the Tatvan district of Bitlis during a road check.
An explosive device comprising of 10 kilograms of ammonium nitrate was also discovered in Hakkari’s Semdinli district and was destroyed. Some 350 kilograms of powdered marijuana were also seized in Hakkari.
AA/Didar Yüsra Dilruba Öz (Turquie) / Yılmaz Kazandıoğlu et Nevzat Taş - At least three soldiers have been martyred and five others injured in a PKK attack in eastern Turkey, said a military source Saturday.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to media, said PKK terrorists attacked security forces with mortar shells in the Cukurca district of Hakkari province.
One soldier is in critical condition, said the source.An operation was launched in the region to apprehend the perpetrators of the attack.
AA/Ankara - Ahmet Sait Akçay - Turkish airstrikes “neutralized” 10 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq on Saturday, the army said.
The Turkish Air Forces conducted airstrikes against PKK terrorist group targets, neutralizing 10 terrorists in northern Iraq, according to a statement emailed by the Turkish General Staff.
The air operation was carried out in the Avashin Basyan region, destroying four artillery PKK positions in the area, it added.
The operation came just after three soldiers were martyred and five others injured in a PKK attack in the southeastern Turkish province of Hakkari on Saturday afternoon.
Mustafa Yıldırım - Halil Şahin, Duygu Yener - Sertaç Bulur - Turkey, (AA) – Twelve suspected members of the youth wing of the terrorist group PKK have been arrested Saturday in the western Turkish province of Izmir, security forces said.
Police received information that the suspected terrorists were preparing to target security forces with improvised explosive devices on Saturday, during celebrations for Turkey's Republic Day, security sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
The preparations for an attack may have been linked to the arrest of Diyarbakir mayor Gultan Kisanak, the security sources said.
The mayor of southeastern Turkey’s largest city was arrested late Tuesday as part of an anti-terrorism investigation.
The Chief Prosecutor's Office in Diyarbakir said in a statement Wednesday that the mayor was arrested on charges of “being a member of an armed terrorist group”.
Materials used for making bombs were also found during the operation in Izmir, the security sources added.
In a separate operation, six PKK and six Daesh members were arrested in the capital Ankara according to the Ankara Police Department.

Gardens are like people — they have their own attitude. The best ones communicate on multiple levels at once.
When the owners of a Glen Park Victorian undertook a major renovation of their home, it left their garden, a full city block at 3,200 square feet, in complete disarray.
To complicate matters, the lot is on a very steep slope, which created runoff problems and challenges with vertical planting.
The owners, both studying to be psychologists, hired Katey Mulligan of Liquidambar Garden Design to help them transform “a construction site” into a terraced garden with sustainable plants and flowers.
They also wanted a garden that wasn’t just a pretty space. From the entry gate to the back fence, it had to touch all the senses.
In the front, Mulligan stacked stones for a whimsical, “Hobbit”-inspired retaining wall that edges the landing. She laid stepping-stones to form a path to a lavender door that leads to the back garden.
Between the stones she planted a medley of lemon and lime thyme. Redolent jasmine winds around the entry fence and rosemary drapes over the front wall.
For conservation, Mulligan planted low-water, drought-tolerant, mostly Australian and New Zealand shrubs and foliage, which work well in the Bay Area. There’s grevillea, a hardy flax, New Zealand phormium, melianthus major and buddleia — a butterfly bush in a bright, silvery color.
She used hardy cordyline and, along the fence, after dark, a variety of the Australian peppermint tree, as well as leptospermum, or tea tree.
In the back, Mulligan carved a terrace into the vertical slope, designing a dining area and patio with a sunken hot tub. The retaining wall is composed of local Napa and Sonoma fieldstone set above gravel and sand, making it permeable for water retention.
A sculpture of Guan Yin, the goddess of mercy, functions as a focal point among honey bush shrubs.
Other plantings in the area are canna, magnolia, ginkgo, birch and Japanese maple trees. For tactile delight and scents, Mulligan also included succulents, scented geraniums and grasses.
The garden functions as a treat on many levels, with its own persona coming through loud and clear.

What Manufacturers Need Most: IMTS Q & A
With the International Manufacturing Technology Show, aka IMTS, less than three months away, I interviewed Dave Delph, president and co-founder of AIMS Metrology. He talks about what manufacturers need most and how coordinate measuring machine (CMM) technology stacks up to the challenges.
Q. IMTS visitors will be looking for new ideas to solve their manufacturing problems, cut costs and increase output. How can coordinate measuring machines help?
A. Part dimensions, tolerances and the materials components are made from are becoming increasingly complex. Tolerances affect the successful performance of an end product but tighter tolerances can add cost and hinder throughput. The ability to accurately measure tolerances helps companies strike a balance that maintains strict quality requirements while helping to control operational costs and avoid implementation of unnecessary steps in their value stream. Three axis coordinate measuring machines have been used for the last 30 years. But most manufacturers today have adopted 5 axis machine tools to increase throughput. It doesn’t do any good to have 5 axis machine tools if you have a 3 axis CMM. That combination creates a bottleneck. We know that manufacturers need CMM technology that can keep pace with today’s machine tools and raise production levels. Anyone can inspect a part but we truly are the only company that has developed and can provide 5 axis CMM technology.
Q. Does 5-axis technology really make that much difference when compared with 3-axis CMMs?
A. Let’s look at the numbers. Typically manufacturers have to buy three 3-axis CMMs to get the throughput we can accomplish with just one 5-axis CMM. With our PH20 5-axis technology, a company can go from three conventional CMMs to just one. In addition to increasing production, they also save operational costs and the cost of ownership associated with one machine versus three machines. Just the calibrations alone for three machines when compared to one machine will save a company approximately $10,000 a year. Parts are also readily available for our 5-axis CMMs.
Just on calibrations for three machines versus one, you will save $10,000 a year. Manufacturers also don’t have to employ a service engineer because parts are readily available for our 5-axis machines. Ninety-five percent of the machines we sell are 5-axis. To support manufacturing requirements on the shop floor, our HB CMM with PH20 is the top choice. Our LM CMM with REVO 4 PH20 is used in laboratory environments.
Q. What do you feel manufacturers look for most from a CMM OEM?
A. Companies are looking for someone that can respond quickly with solutions that work. So many OEMS are about sales first. We believe that if we provide real world solutions to our customers, whether it’s simply advice or the design/build of a custom 5-axis CMM, when it comes time to make a purchase decision, they will think of us. Customers are continually tightening tolerances on components. That means you have to have a CMM system that can keep up. We believe we offer the best customer service and support in the industry. Here’s why. We use Renishaw open architecture software which means we are putting the choice of service provider into the hands of our customers. If we don’t give them good service, they can go somewhere else. That keeps us focused.
Q. Why do you feel service and support is so important today?
The bottom line is that companies simply don’t have the resources available to service and support equipment. They are relying on OEMs to help them keep their machines in top performance condition. We have the engineering know-how to keep machines in spec but we also offer software support through our application engineers. We don’t enforce any software maintenance agreements and we don’t suspend support because a customer’s software isn’t up-to-date. Our first question when a customer calls is not "is your software up-to-date?" It’s "how can we help you?’" Help might come in the form of bringing a customer’s part into the shop and running it on our machine to make sure accuracy and repeatability are where they need to be. We can design and build a fixture for a part or we can work with the customer to help them design and build it. We can also write a new program for that part and then work with the customer on appropriate inspection techniques either at our facility, on-site or through phone support.
Q. Why do you feel IMTS is an important venue for you?
A. Five-axis metrology inspection is relatively new to the industry. We want to educate manufacturers about its benefits and how it can be a game changer for them. For example, we recently took a machine made by a competitor that had a fixed head configuration. The machine’s cycle time to inspect one part was 24 hours. We retrofitted that machine with REVO and provided the software program. They now inspect that same part in just four and a half hours. We’re also continually looking at ways to take our technology farther. Take our LM Series CMM. We’re using linear motors to drive the equipment. Machine tool companies use this type of motor quite a bit but no other CMM manufacturer uses linear motors. Our question was "why not?’" No moving parts and minimal maintenance.
Q. Where will your machines be during IMTS?
- LM Series 5-axis CMM and HB Series 5-axis CMM: AIMS booth #E-5836.
- LM Series 5-axis CMM: Renishaw booth #E-5509.
- AIMS’ HB Series 5-axis mobile shop floor machine: Mazak booth #S-8300.


If TikTok isn’t working on your iPhone, you should check and see if TikTok is down altogether. You can do this by visiting TikTok on Twitter and checking for updates or by going to Downdetector.com and seeing if the company is experiencing a power outage.
TikTok is a great app for watching videos, but not when the app keeps crashing on your iPhone. Unfortunately, TikTok is not always in the best shape when it comes to performance.
In this article, I’ve put together 7 fixes that should help you get TikTok up and working again.
Fix 1: Check If An Update Is Available
If you’re using an older version of TikTok, that may be why it’s running slowly or crashing often on your iPhone. You may also get errors when trying to use features that aren’t supported by the older app version.
Keep in mind that this is not unique to TikTok. Using an old version of any app can lead to poor performance. In fact, it can cause your iPhone screen to turn black and become unresponsive.
App developers regularly release updates, including security patches, bug fixes, and occasionally new features. Keeping your apps up-to-date guarantees their proper functioning on your iPhone.
- Open up the App Store app.
- Tap your user profile to open up your account details.
- Scroll down and look for any available updates for TikTok.
- If you find any updates for TikTok, tap Update.
Fix 2: Check Your Content Restrictions
You may find yourself in a situation where the TikTok app is missing from your iPhone. Many times this is because you have Content Restrictions enabled.
This could have happened either by accident or you turned on restrictions for your kids to play on your phone and forgot to turn the restrictions back off.
Here’s how to check if TikTok is Content Restricted:
- Open Settings > Screen Time.
- Tap on Content & Privacy Restrictions and then Content Restrictions.
- If prompted, enter your Screen Time Passcode.
- Tap on Allowed Apps.
- Find TikTok, then change the restrictions based on your preferences.
Fix 3: Check App Permissions
If you’re having problems with TikTok on your iPhone, it might be because you haven’t allowed the app to access certain features. For example, if you want to record a video on TikTok, you have to give the app permission to use your microphone and camera.
If you want TikTok notifications, you have to enable them in Settings. So check what permissions you’ve given the app and make sure they match what type of experience you want on TikTok.
Here’s how you can enable app permissions for TikTok:
- Open the Settings app.
- Keep scrolling to see the list of apps on your iPhone. Find and tap the TikTok app.
- Check and ensure that you’ve enabled the necessary permissions.
Fix 4: Check If TikTok is Down
Sometimes, the TikTok server is down. Or TikTok could be going through routine maintenance.
Additionally, in some rare cases, the servers might crash or go down due to some bug. In such cases, there’s nothing you can do at your end to fix TikTok. You’ll just have to wait it out.
Updates on TikTok’s server status can be found on their Twitter handle
or by heading to Downdetector.com
. The site will show you an outage map for the past 24 hours, so you can check if TikTok or any other online service is down.
Fix 5: Reset Network Settings
If TikTok isn’t working on your iPhone or if it freezes often, there might be some connectivity issues. To fix this, you can reset the network settings on your iPhone, which will also delete any conflicting data that is affecting its normal functioning.
If you choose to do this, your device will delete all saved network information- like Wi-Fi networks and passwords. You would have to reconnect to these networks, so make sure you remember the password for each one.
1. Open Settings > General
2. Next, tap Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Enter your passcode if prompted.
4. Tap Reset Network Settings
to confirm your decision.
Once you confirm the reset, your iPhone will restart automatically and load the default network settings. Open the app to check if TikTok is working properly.
Fix 6: Delete TikTok And Re-install TikTok
If you have updated the TikTok app, but it continues to crash or become unresponsive on your iPhone, try deleting and reinstalling the TikTok app. A software file within the app may be corrupted, which is causing these performance issues.
Unfortunately, sometimes the app itself can get entirely corrupted and malfunction as a result. If you find yourself in this predicament, uninstalling and then reinstalling TikTok on your iPhone is usually the most effective solution.
Here’s how to delete and reinstall the TikTok app from your iPhone:
- Press and hold on the TikTok app icon.
- Doing this will immediately bring up the quick action menu. Tap Remove App.
- After you’ve deleted TikTok, restart your iPhone. Then, go to the App Store and install TikTok again. Make sure it’s the latest version.
Fix 7: Contact TikTok
If you’ve tried every fix so far, and nothing’s worked, then you may have to contact TikTok.
There might be a problem with your account, or there could be an issue with the app itself.
The best way to get in touch with TikTok is through their support page
. Select the type of problem you’re having, and you’ll be able to fill out a form describing your issue in detail. They should get back to you within a few days.
I hope that one of these fixes worked for you. Please leave a comment and let me know.
Also, if you know someone struggling with TikTok on their iPhone, please send them this article.

Whistleblower Daniel Davis returns to the show to discuss his latest article, “Trump Wants You To Write Him A Blank Check For War in Afghanistan. Don’t.” Davis explains why military victory in Afghanistan is impossible, and how current U.S. presence in Afghanistan appears to be indefinite. Danny discusses the differences during his two tours of duty in Afghanistan 2005 and 2010-11 and how much worse the situation is today than it was a decade ago. Davis goes back down memory lane and explains the process of his decision to blow the whistle on David Petraeus’s lies. Scott and Danny slam Donald Trump’s rhetoric about why the U.S. is remaining in Afghanistan and how candidate Trump has been betrayed by president Trump. Davis makes it clear that no matter when the U.S. finally pulls out of Afghanistan the work being done there will be nullified. Scott and Danny discuss why there hasn’t been more blowback from the Afghan war; Davis warns that there’s an incubation period and that we’ll still be suffering from the consequences for the next decade-plus.
Retired lieutenant colonel Daniel Davis did multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan during his time in the army. He writes a weekly column for National Interest and is the author of the reports “Dereliction of Duty II: Senior Military Leaders’ Loss of Integrity Wounds Afghan War Effort” and “Go Big or Go Deep: An Analysis of Strategy Options on Afghanistan.” Follow Davis on Twitter @DanielLDavis1.

“I conducted a detailed enquiry into the forceful conversion and love jihad and women leaving the country. Marrying a person from a different religion is not a problem but forcefully converting them is a problem. It is happening in Kerala,” said the Chairperson of National Commission for Women (NCW) Rekha Sharma.
Alleging that women are forcefully converted and taken to different countries, Rekha Sharma on Monday, January 27, urged the Kerala government to take action against ‘love jihad’.
She further said, “Women are forcefully taken to different countries in the name of love jihad and are used as sex objects. The Kerala government and the chief minister should solve the issue. It is not a problem of some communities but of a country.”

Here are just a couple of to browse through. To get the best music promotion-use Music and Marketing. They have expert music promotion projects.
Initially, in regards to your music marketing suggestions, attempt to keep your music within the realm of what your audience will delight in. If you are developing music for the older generation of listeners, then you absolutely wish to stay away from the EDM and rap music categories. Rather, stick to the classical or jazz categories. Many older listeners merely do not dig the commercial tone of these types of tunes and they do not hold the same interest younger generations. Keep your music individual to you and to the listeners. This will help you build a following that will excitedly anticipate your next release.
Another music marketing suggestions that will show useful is to keep your e-mail marketing clear and easy. Many artists stop working to take advantage of what is now described as the decide in list. The autoresponder list enables new subscribers to be added who specifically asked for more details about your music. These subscribers are more likely to end up being devoted fans and purchase merchandise from you down the line. Have a look at a few of the most trusted artists in today’s industry and see what their e-mail marketing strategy includes.
Now here is among my favorite music marketing suggestions that I have actually heard over again. Do not use streaming services like OnLive or Vimeo for promoting your music. Many artists believe that this kind of service gets rid of any barriers that they may come across in developing an audience. In actuality, many streaming services are bots that look for videos that are part of their rigorous Terms Of Service and will remove any video that does not fall under those criteria.
Some artists may believe that streaming is ineffective due to the fact that there are inadequate listeners to in fact hear the audio. That could not be even more from the fact. While the technology of making audio CDs is advancing, there is no reason it can not be adapted to the music industry. Audio files can be copied and stored onto CD without loss of quality. This is among the more overlooked music marketing suggestions that can be beneficial to the artists.
Among the most effective music marketing suggestions I have actually heard comes straight from the social media networks. Many musicians believe that they should not be gotten in touch with their fans on social networks websites like Twitter and facebook. That is a mistake that many musicians make. Keeping a great and healthy relationship with your fans on social networks websites such as Twitter and facebook can be among the most important aspects of being successful in the music industry. Artists should discover how to use Twitter and facebook to grow their fan base and increase their direct exposure. Artists that stop working to get in touch with their fans through social networks websites are destined failure.
Another overlooked piece of music marketing suggestions that are beneficial to both artists and their fans is by developing back links on their pages and websites. Back links are links that are leading users to another web page. If done correctly, this new web page or back link will provide fans with fresh material that they may be interested in. This is just as important as using social networks websites like Twitter and facebook.
Lastly, some artists may think that they are doing all they can to market themselves online and to build their fan base online. That is true, but it is just as important to promote yourself and your music on other social networks platforms such as Instagram. This will likewise give your fans a chance to see who you truly are and what your music is everything about. The secret to finding and using these excellent little online music marketing suggestions is for artists to get out and fulfill other artists that can help them grow their fan base while staying within their niche and not drowning in competitors with artists who are much larger in the online music industry. Stay professional, remain linked and do not let anything else sidetrack you from making it big! Make certain you visit Music and Marketing now for the very best music promotion.

Explores the possibility of a greater human love created through reconciliation.
I have matched the worked, polished surface of rock against the 'red earth' of split cedar to accentuate the earthing nature of reconciliation.
Materials: Yass Black Marble (from Yass, NSW) and reclaimed Australian Red Cedar.
The small white areas of this marble are the forms of sea creatures which inhabited the ancient seas which covered Australia. Now long gone, they left their calcium carbonate-rich bodies to be sedimented, becoming limestone. This limestone was then transformed into marble by later volcanic metamorphosis. Through all this change you can still see these creatures.
You are most welcome to arrange a time with me to visit my Sydney studio, in a COVID safe way, so you can see the sculpture before you buy it.
The price quoted is for pick-up at the studio door and I can arrange prices for packing and transport if needed too.

Mulching equipment creates year-round work for excavation contractor
For Mike Todd, excavating used to only be a seasonal endeavor. He doesn’t own a drive-in movie theater, a mini golf course, or a water park, but for years, he had the same enemy as those who do: winter.
Todd’s business, Todd Farms and Excavating, has thrived for three decades, but winters have always been notably difficult. Most farmers dread winter, especially in the Midwest and the northern border states. The climates are harsh and unpredictable. Landscapes are thicker, slicker, and less cooperative. As a result, there are significantly fewer opportunities for work and a weaker cash flow. Fortunately for Todd, that has changed in recent years, thanks to his purchase of a BH40 mulching attachment for his Cat 322 excavator.
ATTACHMENT TO THE RESCUE
Todd, interested in updating his arsenal, had been perusing YouTube and was more than impressed by the BH40. One video demonstrated its intensity and efficiency, as it ripped three whole trees apart in less than 45 seconds. Fecon, based in Lebanon, Ohio, sold Todd a Bull Hog® mulching attachment that, compared to its competitors, is faster, sharper, more durable. No matter what season it may be, the BH40 is better for business.
Designed for severe duty, the BH40EXC that Todd purchased is available in three different rotor styles, each with a 36-inch cutting width. He opted for the Depth Control Rotor (DCR) that is fitted with 16 Viking flippable cutting tools. Ideal for excavators in the 15-45-ton range, the Bull Hog can operate efficiently with hydraulic flow from 30 to 105 gpm to power its way through standing trees, brush, stumps, and whatever might be in its way.
“They are so far advanced over the other guys,” says Todd, who has since been able to turn his business into a year-round enterprise. At first, the excavator-mounted mulching head was just used to clear field lines, fencerows, ditches, and other commonplace on-farm projects. In addition to keeping the branches from scratching a combine or other farm equipment, moving the tree line has positive effects for farmers.
“It opens up sunlight to the ground so it dries faster in the spring,” says Todd. “It increases your productivity along the edge of the field because your crops can grow instead of having the tree suck up all the moisture.”
After working with the Bull Hog and excavator combination for a while, and observing its power, Todd realized the BH40EXC’s potential had been untapped. There was a diverse range of off-farm projects this attachment could tackle with ease, especially with the excavator thumb, which simplifies moving logs and debris. Once he started using the BH40EXC to clear entire sites, winter business started escalating, with no signs of slowing down.
The BH40EXC is not the only Fecon product in Todd’s repertoire. Curious to see what other Fecon products could increase productivity, he began investigating their forestry mulchers.
Todd recalls a 12-acre clearing job, with trees from 2 to 15 inches in diameter—which was slow going for his CAT 299 skid steer fitted with a CAT mulching head. Stacked up after that was a 5-acre job. With winter fast approaching and his soybeans languishing in the fields, Todd knew he needed something more effective. He called his local Fecon dealer, Company Wrench, which brought an FTX128L to his jobsite. Although the FTX128L was about the same size as the CAT, within the first 10 minutes of the demonstration, he could see just how superior Fecon’s product was.
“There’s nothing it can’t handle,” says Todd.
This machine boasts many features for both productivity and operator comfort. A 128 hp Cummins engine delivers plenty of power, but is easy on the fuel consumption, at just 3.5 to 4.5 gallons per hour. This high horsepower and a 60-gpm hydraulic flow, coupled with Fecon’s power management system ensures high performance in various mulching environments—including cutting and climbing up 40-degree grades.
Steel tracks with 20-inch shoes are ideal for difficult terrain yet, at just 3.8 psi, has a light footprint. When asked how it compared to his old skid steer, Todd simply says, “There is no comparison.”
In terms of operator comfort, the FTX128 features a panoramic operator view for production and safety, a view of the back of the mulcher head, and unobstructed rear visibility. A corner door allows easier cab entry, while a suspension seat ensures comfort throughout the day.
A universal quick attach coupler is compatible with most skid steer attachments, including Todd’s non-Fecon stump grinder. The ability to power multiple attachments enhances the versatility and profitability of Todd’s FTX128L.
While his BH40EXC is fitted with a DCR rotor and cutter teeth, the FTX128L has an FGT style rotor which allows him to change the teeth to suit the application. Recently he fitted the FTX128L with cutter teeth in the middle of the rotor and carbide teeth on the outer edges, a combination that provided faster processing in heavy materials. Another jobsite that was mostly overgrown brush, however, was better suited for all carbide teeth.
“This is a thicket of mostly 6-inch diameter materials and smaller, so we fitted the FTX128 with carbides and we’ll take it to ground level,” says Todd.
The FTX128 can easily take down and grind up smaller trees on its own, but when it comes to taller and thicker trees, the BH40EXC is able to act as a tag-team partner. The excavator tops the larger trees, then takes the trunks to stump level. The FTX128L then attacks the tree top, mulching it and all the limbs. Using both products in tandem has given Todd Farms and Excavating a one-two punch that has increased both their efficiency, as well as their workload.
“We can clear cut anywhere from an acre to two acres a day,” says Todd. While bigger trees can still take a day to cut down, uproot, and mulch, it’s a significantly quicker process than it was three decades ago.
They say, “be careful what you wish for,” but Mike Todd’s wishful thinking resulted in nothing but benefits. By using the BH40EXC and FTX128 to defy the elements, Todd Farms and Excavation has been able to expand their workload, profits, and their range of clients. Located in Cecil, Ohio, they work throughout Ohio and Indiana. Now that Mike Todd’s work is a yearlong endeavor, there’s more time than ever to expand.

Protesters in Annapolis demand reopening of Maryland
Hundreds of people filled the streets Saturday in Annapolis to demand Gov. Larry Hogan lift restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic.
|| Coronavirus updates | Maryland's latest numbers | Rumor Control ||
The group Reopen Maryland is upset over the weeks-long shutdown in the state due to the coronavirus.
"We don't think that there's any reason we can't protect the elderly and the vulnerable from this virus and still get our small businesses back up to work," said Paul Brockman with Reopen Maryland.
While in their cars, hundreds of demonstrators paraded through the streets holding signs out of their car windows and honking their horns. The Annapolis Mall, which is now shut down due to state mandates, served as a backdrop to upset protesters.
It started at noon Saturday after an online petition by Reopen Maryland called upon people in the state to rally against the statewide shutdown that has businesses closed and many out of a job and all public schools in the state are forced to stay closed at least until mid-May.
"The government really needs to listen to, especially, the students. I think the cancellations of prom isn't fair to the students who've worked hard all year," said Rachel Guerra.
The protesters said they want to see the state reopen by May 1, but the governor has said he does not think the state is ready for that and will not be ready until the number of hospital stays, ICU patients and deaths due to the virus are trending down for 14 days.
And that doesn't seem to be the case. Announced Saturday, there were 101 confirmed cases reported at several Charles County nursing homes and assisted-living facilities.
Some protesters believe the shutdown is making things worse, and they will continue their efforts until the shutdown is over.
"Give us a plan. Give some people hope. Give that small businessman hope that he could open up in a week or two or three or whatever it is. But they can't stay closed forever," Brockman said.
The governor said Friday that he plans to share more details on his recovery plan next week.

Visting the places where plants are native to is a real information boost towards your experience in Life
In Southern California, you've all seen them. Canary Island Pine (Pinus canariensis) Long and Leggy when young. Then they fill out a little later on as they reach maturity. Common in many commercial Landscapes as you can see below. Mostly they are a pine that can handle drought dry conditions with very little water and seem to fend for themselves once planted.
So we see them everywhere in the arid landscaping regions of the west. Other than Torrey Pines (Pinus torreyena) they are one of those pines that can tolerate lowland conditions of arid climates. Especially so if they have a mycorrhizal symbiosis connect going on below the ground connected to their root system, but then this is true of most pines. Most pines we only think of as living high up in the mountains somehwere. Okay, so well maybe they do in the West that's how folk think. But in it's actual for real native habitat (not the local Nursery) the tree endures, yet thrives in some of the nastiest soil I've ever seen in a high mountain environment. Yes, the Canary Islands have very large high mountains, volcanic mountains and an area still active. Here are some pics of their habitat and associated plants when we visited there this past February 2012.
As you can well see, the soil is absolutely nasty looking, or maybe not sine it works for them. But to a gardern/landscaper by no means. The soil however should tell you something about their requirements. Those pics are on the side and foot of a volcano cone which itself is in this giant super-volcano caldera the size of say the Southern Californian communities of El Cajon , Lakeside and Santee all put together.
I've always wanted to visit the Canary Islands to see the native environment where so much of our Southern California Landscaping material in the way of adaptable plants work for Southern California. Another one which is also rather historical as a landscape icon for So-Cal is Canary Island Date Palm ( Phoenix canariensis ) which is also a familar site one So-Cal boulevards and landscapes, especially in the older nieghbourhoods. Take a look.
One difficulty faced with having this tree in your landscape is they tend to be messy, especially if you have the female that produces those dates. Birds also nest in them, especially pigeons and sparrows, but also I've seen numerous Hooded Orioles who build these amazing intricately woven sock-like nests with deep pockets for rearing their young and they use the fiberous Palm Frond strands to accomplish this. Take a look.
Her's what the Canary Island Date Palms look like in their native environment in the Canary Islands where they often grow on the steep mountainsides on clusters or groupings.
Here is a picture of the high mountain city of Machu Picchu, see if you agree the setting is identical.
Well those are my thoughts on visiting sites where common plants we all use in the landscape come from. There's an entire gigantic natural world out there still waiting to be explored, not through the pages of National Geographic or Arizona Highways, where someone else explains the adventure but you can do it for real.

Showing the way forward in the light of the recent National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) recommendations for getting Nigeria out of poverty, the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, SAN, Thursday declared that such recommendations were already being addressed by the Muhammadu Buhari administration with its massive investment in infrastructure renewal and expansion.
Nigeria President, Muhammadu Buhari, in Mfum, Cross River State, called for more neighbourliness and mutual understanding between African states in order to enhance trade, security through infrastructure development in the continent.
The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, has restated Federal Government’s commitment to bridging the road infrastructure gap in tertiary institutions across the country.
Mr Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of WorksandHousing, has clarified the statement mischievously attributed to him in a section of the media as saying that Nigeria’s achievements in Infrastructure has surpassed that of the United States.
Others are Russky bridge Russia 1bn, Etihad rail UAE $11bn, Al Maktoum airport UAE $31bn, Beijing Daxing airport China $13bn, New Century Global center China, Atlanta Falcons stadium $1.2 bn, Shanghai tower $2.4bn, Bay Bridge Eastern Span San Francisco $6.4bn, State Route floating bridge Seattle $2bn, Sky tree Japan $806m, Silverline Washington $6.8bn, and One world Trade Center New York $3.8bn.
Infrastructure is what makes nations great. Dubai was founded some thirty years ago. Today it is the most visited city on earth, upstaging London, because of its infrastructural development.
For most Nigerians, 1st October every year is a day to celebrate our independence from colonial rule. But fifty-nine years down the line, nothing has really changed. Some Nigerians say we are worse off now than we used to be under colonial rule. Where that is not true, they can not be blamed because the state and its polity have refused to improve. The white man may not be directly calling the shots, but we are surely still living under the heels of a privileged few.

IPMAN in conjunction with the Association of Distributors and Transporters of Petroleum Products recently gave the warning in Abuja, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to the factional National President, IPMAN, Chinedu Okoronkwo, even if members of the association had called for a hike in petrol price, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has released enough petrol.
He added that IPMAN members were getting the fuel at N170 – N173/litre, and that was why they wanted an increment in price.
His words, “Our members in Lagos were getting the fuel at N170 – N173/litre, that’s why they wanted price increased. It is only the NNPC that is importing the product. The cost of doing business has changed, so it becomes difficult to sell at N165/litre.”
“That is why we are thanking the NNPC for bringing the product to N143/litre. So, our members must sell the product at N165 which is the government-approved price.”
“Our business requires technology, that is why we brought a seasoned financial expert and we’ve been able to recover a lot of funds in other countries and Nigeria.”
“The incessant mishaps and destruction of trucks on the road, banditry and kidnapping is the reason we are bringing the insurance company to help us. Leaving the risk for the owner of the truck to bear will affect our businesses.”

Boro were tasked with two difficult away trips to Brentford and Preston this week, but managed to maintain their unbeaten run with a win and a draw.
And the Boro Breakdown team were on hand, as always, to give their thoughts the week’s main talking points.
One of which was Tony Pulis’s decision to switch from a 4-3-3 to a 3-5-2 for the trip to Deepdale, which heralded a slow start against an in-form Alex Neil side.
The inclusion and subsequent impact of academy duo Dael Fry and Marcus Tavernier was praised.
The two linked up for Boro’s second goal against Brentford and their equaliser against Preston.
Another talking point was striker Jordan Hugill, who has three goals in his last three games – but couldn’t make it three goals in a row against his former side.
With Hugill getting fitter and growing into his role leading the line, the question was raised: should Boro sign the former barman on a permanent deal?
And as always, there was a look ahead to the televised game against Aston Villa, who drew their last game 5-5 against Aitor Karanka’s Nottingham Forest side.
Can Boro overcome the Villans and make it seven games unbeaten in the league?

A farmer has admitted to using tissue and testicles from wild animals to breed “giant” hybrid sheep to sell to private hunting reserves.
Arthur ‘Jack’ Schubarth, 80, of Vaughn, Montana, pleaded guilty to charges of wildlife trafficking and conspiracy to traffic wildlife during a court appearance in Great Falls on Tuesday.
The 80-year-old could see up to five years in prison for each charge and a fine of up to $250,000 (£196,000).
Court documents describe a conspiracy dating back to 2013, in which Schubarth and at least five other people sought to create “giant sheep hybrids” by cross-breeding different species. Their goal was to sell the mutants to private hunting grounds for up to $10,000 (£7,800) each.
Schubarth illegally used biological tissue and testicles obtained from a hunter in Kyrgyzstan belonging to a Marco Polo argali sheep — the world’s largest species of the animals — and procured cloned embryos from a lab.
The embryos were later implanted in a ewe, resulting in a pure Marco Polo argali sheep that Schubert named “Montana Mountain King,” the court documents show.
Semen from Montana Mountain King was then used to artificially impregnate other ewes to create a larger and more valuable species of sheep, including one offspring that he reached an agreement to sell to two people in Texas for $10,000.
Male argali sheep can top 300 pounds with horns up to 5 feet long, according to officials, making them prized among some hunters. They are protected under international law as a threatened species, and are banned from being imported into Montana to protect native sheep from disease and hybridisation.
The court further heard that 74 ewes of a prohibited sheep species were shipped from Minnesota to Schubarth’s ranch to be artificially inseminated with Montana Mountain King semen. Offspring that had only a portion of the central Asian sheep’s genetics sold for lesser amounts.
Authorities agreed under the terms of a plea deal not to pursue further charges against the defendant, pending his cooperation in the government’s ongoing investigation into the wildlife trafficking case.
Montana Mountain King is in the custody of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, according to Department of Justice spokesperson Matthew Nies. As part of the plea deal, Schubert agreed to quarantine any other sheep containing Marco Polo argali genetics and any bighorn sheep that were harvested from the wild.
The deal also allows wildlife officials to inspect and, if needed, toneuter the animals.
Captive animal facilities where game species can be raised and hunted were banned in Montana in 2000, but they remain legal in some other states. Schubarth’s 215-acre ranch is state-licensed as an alternative livestock facility, although hunting is prohibited.
Schubarth is set to be sentenced by district judge Brian Morris on July 11.

IPSWICH are set to field an unchanged side for the third game in a row at Burnley tonight.Manager Joe Royle was giving nothing away about his team selection plans, but it will be a major shock if he does not stick with the starting line-up from Saturday's win at Leeds and the narrow derby defeat at home to Norwich.
By Mel Henderson
IPSWICH are set to field an unchanged side for the third game in a row at Burnley tonight.
Manager Joe Royle was giving nothing away about his team selection plans, but it will be a major shock if he does not stick with the starting line-up from Saturday's win at Leeds and the narrow derby defeat at home to Norwich.
Royle is toying with the idea of giving French midfielder Jimmy Juan, on loan from Monaco, his first Championship start at Turf Moor.
He said: “I thought Jimmy had his best 25 minutes or so for us at Elland Road. It looked to me as if he was at last coming to terms with the demands of the English game.
“I was very pleased with his contribution. He is starting to realise that you also have to play when you don't have the ball.”

Royle and his players stayed up north after Saturday's welcome win that ended a four-game sequence without a victory and from which they had taken just one point from a possible 12.
While they have continued to train, the accent has been on relaxation and yesterday the Town squad spent several hours at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, where they could choose between shopping and the cinema.
Royle said: “After dinner last night we had a game of cards. It has been a good chance for the players to have a little bit of rest.
“I think the players who have young babies at home - Jason De Vos and Darren Currie for example - are particularly benefiting from the break.”
The Town boss will be reminding his players that tonight's game against second-bottom Burnley will be a tough assignment.
He added: “I will be impressing on the lads that anyone thinking tonight's game is a roll-over, just because we beat Leeds, has got a shock coming.
“Burnley are better than their league position suggests. I have been reading several reports our scouts have supplied and they are a big side.
“Several managers and coaches at this level have decided that big is good and we all know what John McGreal can do. He is a player I never wanted us to lose.
“They also have Ade Akinbiyi, one of the leading scorers at this level, but what they haven't been able to do is keep many clean sheets.”
The Clarets have netted 14 times in 10 league games, as opposed to Town's 10, but leaking 16 means they have managed to secure just one win.
Royle would love to see striker Sam Parkin add to his two-goal blast at Leeds, but his main concern is that his team can bank a further three points and continue to climb the table.
He said: “We all enjoyed Saturday, although we can play better. But we scored two, had one disallowed and should have had a blatant penalty.
“We defended magnificently when we had to and it was probably three points that a lot of people didn't expect us to gain.
“Sam will get a lift from his goals. That's four in nine games now and three of them - one at Millwall and the two at Leeds - have been worth six points to us.
“And what people tend to forget is that he is still youngish at 24 and still learning his way in the game.”
Meanwhile, Burnley boss Steve Cotterill is urging fans to roar their team to victory this evening.
Cotterill, who last oversaw a victory when the Clarets defeated Coventry 4-0 in August, said: “The players need the win and the supporters can drive them on to that.
“If they want to back them to the absolute hilt, with every pass, every tackle, every header, every throw-in, everything, that will help them no end and that's what I'm asking from them.
“I think there was an expectancy, because we were playing Brighton, that we'd win on Saturday. Yet they've gone to Derby, Preston and Leeds and drawn, and I wouldn't mind betting that we've given them the most difficult draw.
“It will be easy to sit and sulk about things but no one is going to thank anyone for that. We're unhappy with where we are in the league, but you've got to keep cracking on at it and sooner or later things will turn for us.”
Burnley have been hit by a series of injury blows, the latest of which saw goalkeeper Danny Coyne stretchered off at the weekend and in danger of missing the remainder of the season with cruciate ligament damage.
Cotterill added: “We're in that nervy position in the table and there's no point in saying people don't look at it, because they do. We all do.
“If you get a win it can shove you up five or six places and if you get two wins it can put you in the top half of the table. We're not the only team that seems to be suffering at the moment.”

Genesis Casino has broken out the bubbly and bunting as they celebrate one of their lucky players winning €40,000. It was a lucky first deposit player who managed to bag the cash and the online casino couldn’t be more thrilled. In fact, they told us it wasn’t just once the player hit a big win it was twice and here is the story of exactly how he done it.
First Deposit Luck
It’s that very first deposit we make. Starting at a brand-new casino in the hope our favorite online slots will be kind to us. And for Matti his very first space expedition went exactly to plan. Not only was he lucky enough to drop one big win he went in for a second time and hit an even bigger win sending his balance rocketing to that incredible €40K.
The players balance rocketed to a massive €40,000 when he played online slots on his first deposit at Genesis Casino.
His big win blast kicked off with a €5427 win, but the player had other plans. He continued his streak shortly after with an eye-dropping €35,000 on the jungle-themed, Jungle Books Slot.
A Momentum Win
And to think it all started with a mere deposit of €20! The casino managed to catch up with Matti just after his win and he said “I was at home when I won. I spoke to some of my friends to tell them that I won. In the beginning they didn't believe me but later on, they did. They didn't believe that I would ever get the money out though!”
The casino went on to ask the player how he felt about his huge win and Matti said “I felt really good about the win. Plus, I have time off work at the moment. I can enjoy the holiday even more and I might also go abroad with the winnings. I really didn't feel like I was going to win this big”
And, to top off their conversation the casino asked Matti what his favourite game was now which he replied, “My favourite game is the one where I won – I can't remember the game name though!”
Think You Can Do Better?
We’re sending huge congratulations to the player and if you think you can do it too you just need to head over to Genesis Casino and try your favourite games. We could be featuring your very own big win story soon too.

PowerCom commences with Walvis Bay Extension 7 tower construction
PowerCom Pty Ltd has commenced tower construction in Walvis Bay Extension 17, expected to be finished by 20 March and fully operational by 1 April, with connected clients able to utilize its services.
The recently concluded groundbreaking ceremony introduced the Company’s infrastructure CAPEX investment rollout for 2019/2020, which seeks to increase the company’s footprint and asset base to best service ICT players and offer last mile connectivity.
The Walvis Bay Ext 17 construction project is the first of 19 tower developments due to take place in the coming months. The investment into Walvis Bay forms part of PowerCom’s infrastructure footprint expansion strategy of investing N$24 million into building 19 towers by September 2020.
According to PowerCom, a total of N$5.6 million will be invested in Walvis Bay alone, through the construction and refurbishment of four other towers in the town, namely, Walvis Bay Harbour, Walvis Bay Golf Course, Narraville and refurbishment of Walvis Bay tower Walkway.
PowerCom’s CEO, Alisa Amupolo mentioned the strategic importance Walvis Bay has, stating that the company seeks to align itself with the town’s growth and respond to growth demands of its inhabitants
“Due to the National Oil Storage Hub, apartment blocks, service station and the future shopping mall, it is a location demanding the type of communications infrastructure investment PowerCom offers,” Amupolo said.
The Minister of Communication and Information Technology, Stanley Simataa, acknowledged Walvis Bay’s strategic location as being a logistic hub and a growing haven of activity, where tourists visit and thousands of Namibians come to work and enjoy their leisure time.
“As the importance of this area continues to grow, it is crucial that connectivity keeps pace with it. PowerCom’s response to the growth within this region is of benefit to all residing and working here, and it is my firm belief that their investments will further stimulate other investment, both national and international. As Walvis Bay is also a tourist hub, it is important that we are able to offer travellers the connectivity they expect from a tower such as this strategically located at the Independence Beach,” Simataa said.

- It is very difficult to grow orchids from the seeds. They have very complex growth requirements. Orchids need to be planted in a pot that does not retain excess water. They also need a particular fungus and lots of nutrients to grow.
- So, it is better to buy small orchid plants that are already planted in pots from the market. They are much easier to grow and do not have so many varied growth requirements.
- You also should plant them in plastic pots with a hole underneath for proper drainage.
Soil and Water
- Orchids need a lot of nutrient supplement from the soil. Hence you need to make sure that the pot is filled with a good amount of fertilized soil.
- You also have to fertilize the soil once the plant is in it's full bloom.
- Orchids can grow in very little water. So, if you want proper orchid growing then be very careful not to water your orchids excessively. Caring for orchids is very easy. Just make sure to water them once in a week. And do not allow them to stay in water logged pots.
- For a good orchid growing plant them in an area where they will get abundant sunshine all throughout the day. They need lots of sun to grow well.
Pruning And Caring
- You may cut the flowering stem once the flowers have withered away. Another stem will regrow from the same place and flower.
- But before doing so you should know the breed of your plant first. If it is one of them that bears flower from the same stem year after year, then you better not prune it.
- Caring for orchids is very easy. You need to re-pot them once in a year. It will be much easier to re-pot them if they are planted in a plastic pot. The roots can be easily moved from one pot to the other in this case.
Consider all these factors before you grow orchids at home.

Zuckerman, you're talking apples and oranges.
Mortimer Zuckerman's recent editorial, "A Good Immigration Bill," in the U.S. News & World Report where he compares the current immigration situation to previous immigration situations couldn't be a worse simile. He begins with the worn-out adage that America is a nation of immigrants which has become an inappropriate comparison since the New Deal.
"...the most recent surge of immigrants is made up of people who are young and mobile and who work in the least desired sectors of the U.S. economy . . . for relatively low pay. If these immigrants weren't here, this kind of work would have to be done by more skilled Americans, and they would only do it for much more money -- which could be seen as a cause of inflation and a misuse of skills." They may be young, but they will get old. If they're made citizens, could they contribute enough to Social Security to justify inclusion in it?
This is like the "too many doctors" myth. On the one hand, we supposedly have too many doctors and so we have to keep the standards extremely high for medical school, which is supposedly necessary to keep doctors' insurance rates down, but likewise keeps out a disproportionate share of minorities. But on the other hand, if we have too many doctors, why do we have so many foreign doctors? Why are we sharing a sizable part of our nation's income with foreign doctors? Shouldn't we just train more doctors here and more stringently?
I doubt that foreign doctors are making less than the doctors born here. But with immigrant labor, the opposite is true and immigrants offer a lower wage than competing citizens. I've worked with carpenters who had twenty years experience working for $8 and $9 an hour because that was the only job they could find. If you take that away from them, where do they go next, typing school?
The "misuse of skills" is inevitable in a society such as ours where people are too often overskilled for the job they have while hoping an opportunity will open for the job they're appropriately skilled for. In general, we consider that a better deal than having underskilled people working jobs they're not qualified for.
Ultimately the "liberal concern" that politicians won't address is that cheap labor provides a better bottom line for businesses in the way of lower wages, less insurance and less overtime than they get away with with citizens looking for the same work.
Ruben Naverrette, the perennial pro-immigration pundit, "reports" that there is a restaurant in California that pays illegal workers $15 an hour to wash dishes because they cannot find citizens to do so. Talk about migration, if that were true, plenty of Mississippian dishwashers at $7 to $8 an hour would be pulling up stakes and heading out west.
"Yet, we continue to lock out of the U.S. economy some of the world's best and brightest in such fields as medicine, computer technology, and engineering, forcing them to work abroad (like in their home country? Horrors!) where they can develop businesses . . . that compete with us. It doesn't make sense." Conservatives who would prefer a U.S. monopoly on all sectors of the economy rather than encouraging and being open-minded to competition, even in foreign countries, are closer to neo-conservatives than true conservatives.
Zuckerman raises some statistics about the lower number of working citizens to retirees and wonders how the baby-boomers retirement will be paid. Overpopulation is one of the largest problems the world faces and yet it's rarely discussed. In a world with decreasing resources, what's wrong with fewer people? Why is it that conservatives are opposed to free health care for poor American women and increased social services that might encourage more pregnancies, but have no problem importing immigrants?
Zuckerman says that the immigration plan would "align American policy more closely with an American ideal -- meritocracy." Being from Mississippi, employment appears to be more often based on connections, political affiliations and religion than anything else. If America truly is a meritocracy, then maybe Zuckerman could explain why women make 16% less at the same jobs as men.
"Many of them have been here for years, if not decades; they own businesses and homes and have given birth to children who are automatically citizens." I could be wrong, but I thought that more illegals had come into the country since Bush has been in office than were here before. If they own they're own businesses, then these aren't the low wage workers Zuckerman referred to earlier.
I don't think I'm alone in believing that the law should be changed as it relates to immigrants born in the country. I feel positively that if you were on vacation in Kuwait and your wife went into labor and gave birth there, it would not turn your infant into a $30,000 a year welfare winner at the expense of of Kuwait's generous, oil-based social services program. Just as the Military Commissions Act extended retroactively to 1996, a law repealing the "born in the country" law could extend retroactively 10 years.
Finally, he starts to get to the problem that Bush and his theory of small government has evaded. "A drive to deport them would cost billions and require police to raid the barrios of our cities. It would strike much of the public as draconian." It didn't strike much of the country as draconian when we invaded Iraq and set that country of 30 million into civil war. And it's cost billions. Why is an illegal invasion honky-dorey but executing the law of United States verboten?


Call it what you will. I just know, from my time on the third stone from the sun, that the universe will provide if we open our awareness to the world around us. The universe has a way of reminding us, of guiding us, of teaching us a few things if we simply pay attention.
Sometimes, common themes emerge. Apparently, there are times when the universe really wants you to understand something, really wants you to take note and learn something. And with that in mind, the theme that hath come full circle repeatedly of late is one of serenity.
Caballo Blanco spoke the words to me a few months ago. His words were direct, soft-spoken, and heartfelt. He spoke of serenity in the context of running, and specifically, running with the Tarahumara of northern Mexico. But the essence of his words was more than just a tale of running. It went far deeper than that. The universe was speaking through him, and I felt obliged to listen.
Caballo Blanco spoke of the experience that is running, of simply being, of exploring that which lies deep within and beckons you onward, that which lies deep within that tells you to stop, that struggle with every footstrike, until you just let go and just “be” the run. It’s not about running this way or that. It’s about being. It’s not about training, it’s about existing. Caballo Blanco spoke of love. And caring. And sharing. Serenity. Those things extend far beyond the simple task of placing one foot in front of other, over and over again.
Serenity manifests itself in so many other ways. It’s not just about running. It could be the strains of Ry Cooder’s slide guitar. It could be the words of Gandhi or Einstein. It could be the humor of Twain, or the eloquence of Rumi. It could be in the spoken word and powerful oratory of King. It could be as simple and powerful as gazing into a person’s eyes and truly experiencing their presence in your world. Or it could be the silence within, the moment between the breaths. They all speak of creativity, of expression, of love, of sharing, of serenity. They all provide us with a means to experience the world and experience ourselves with great vibrancy, fully, completely.
There is a sweet serenity of letting go … exhaling … breathing in the moments that we call life, a string of pearls, moment to moment, strung together between the breaths. It is the serenity of existence. And it surrounds us. Daily. The task is to experience it, feel it, explore it, and breath it in fully.
Perhaps that “universal force” that evades scientific description is simply – love. No, it’s not a force or a quantifiable entity, nor something mystical that is only explained by a special god or higher being. Love is none of those things – but it fills (or has the potential to fill) each and every living being. All you need is insight into yourself, into the world of quantum physics within ourselves, to know it. To live it. To experience it. To be it.
Thanks, Caballo Blanco, for not only sharing your life experience with me, but also reminding me of serenity and the beauty of life itself. Yes, universe, your countless other reminders for me have all, once again, been duly noted. And for that, I am forever grateful.Photo credit: Wikipedia
