  1. *** w23.08 p. 25 par. 16 Continue to Be Patient *** When we are impatient, we're more likely to have anger issues. Letting anger take rein of our thinking would allow the stress hormone cortisol to spike in our body. A constant heightened level in cortisol have serious health implications.
  2. Ugly. Ugliness will be a thing of the past. Physical appearance will no longer matter because everyone will be perfect and what is important is the person from within. Racially I would expect most people to retain their own characteristic features albeit tweaked to iron out any imperfections. I'm quite sure most East Asians with slitty eyes. no double eyelids would take kindly to be able to look more like their well endowed Caucasians relatives. Similarly Africans with tightly coiled hair will have the option to have straight flowing locks. I see this to be the case with African ladies (in this SE Asian country) who have resorted to wearing wigs.
  3. Review: Sight And Sound’s Epic “Daniel” Is Biggest, Best Yet | DeWayne Hamby One of the most impressive aspects of “Daniel” is how Sight and Sound utilizes technology to enhance the storytelling experience. The video backdrops are seamlessly integrated into the narrative, transporting the audience to ancient Babylon with stunning realism. Whether it’s Nebuchadnezzar’s boat ride through the city or the towering idols that dominate the skyline, every scene is brought to life with astonishing detail.
  4. Maybe in this part of the world, 29 August hasn't arrived yet. I just tried again, put in a password and was given a link via my email. Thanks, Br. Eric for that stupendous treat. Have to watch it a few times. Absolutely mesmerizing!
  5. I'm so excited after seeing the preview. But when I tried to log in, I encountered problem with my password. I was told the link will be sent to my email but but I can't find it. Maybe I need to subscribe to discord 1st. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity to see the show. I'm in for a treat. I'm having trouble signing in to watch - Sight & Sound TV I will check this site later. I checked my spam on my gmail but still no sign of the link
  6. I guess she meant 'something'. Yeah, I get frustrated sometimes when most young people use abbreviations that are common in social media and I have to scramble to find out what it is. 130 Social Media Acronyms and Slang You Need to Know | Sprout Social ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ – A shrug expression used to convey indifference. Often used in place of “whatever,” “doesn’t matter,” “who knows” or “why not”
  7. 4 things the happiest people do every day Author and social scientist Arthur C. Brooks has a tangible piece of advice to a quick fix when it comes to improving our happiness and family relationships: ditch our phones. Not completely, but he says we need to cut down our time spent on them, especially in the company of our families. 'Devices are highly addictive and actually take us away from real family relationships. We are ignoring our families while we are using them. We need to take back the meaning in our lives by actually putting down our phones and only pick them back up at certain times'
  8. Sorry for my poor choice of words. Some people just hadn't the chance of a good education or not yet avail themselves to some well chosen reading material. I should always have some of our literature with me to share with those who are less fortunate and are in need of enlightenment.
  9. 30 most common everyday irritations revealed – see how many annoy you People listening to music without headphones on public transport Another one of my bugbears. I really need to bring ear plugs. After a fall from a stool, I'm slowly losing my hearing (by extension my brain cells as well) Now I'm hypervigilant about loud noises: lion dances all round the year, events at the mall (recently young 6 years olds were engaged in a cheerleading competition. I'm suppose to buy a hearing aid for my iphone but have not gone round to it.
  10. 20 Rude Things People Should Stop Doing In Grocery Stores Putting Items Anywhere Here, in this low income country, I find some people will bring fresh food like chicken, check the price of the item and leave the meat sitting on the basket below the price checker. So I always take these perishable items and leave at the nearest chiller, not going all the way to the place where it is to be found. As it is, I travel some distance to my favorite Aeon supermarket by public transport (bus, then MRT) and I'm not going the extra distance to make up for some lout who doesn't care about ruining someone's else meat. All sorts of things that needs refrigeration are been dumped there : yoghurt, fresh milk that needs refrigeration etc. Good exercise for my legs though.
  11. 30 most common everyday irritations revealed – see how many annoy you Being told you've entered an incorrect password (again!) How are we supposed to remember the 63,000 passwords that we all have to everything? 15 digit and number strings with punctuation marks, each different to the last by one or more character. Plus every time you try to log in, you can't and you have to change it again and the new password ends up even less memorable that whatever the last one was. AAARGH! My personal grouse So I was attending the 3 day convention and taking the bus to the venue. The bus comes once every hour and Moovit doesn't give an accurate time for the arrival of the bus. Not the app's fault. So after waiting for 20 minutes, along comes the bus. It takes about 30 minutes to get there. So this 40ish woman gets on and starts to video chat with her relatives on full volume, laughing loudly and showing the ones on the phone, the scenery as well. I was sitting behind her. After about 10 minutes of this cacophony, the gentleman across the aisle told her to tone down the volume I don't know why some people (certain races are prone to chatting loudly on public transport whether on their phones or not) So it's common to hear loud conversations in languages that are not intelligible to me for the whole duration of the trip (> 30 minutes) Some foreigners (and some low class locals as well) have no common courtesies or they're just down right inconsiderate.
  12. The study of children in Shanghai, from birth to three years, found that exposure to fine particles (PM2.5) from vehicle exhausts, industrial emissions and other sources of outdoor pollution increased the risk of developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by up to 78%.
  13. I just found out that it is good to soak steel-cut oats for at least 8 hours in the fridge to reduce the phytic acid and enhance digestibility. Fortunately the supermarket had on offer Sanitarium Barista oat at a 'reduced to clear' price of $1.20. I have been having a bout of gastritis and this should calm down my inflamed stomach lining. My delayed meal times is the cause of all these discomforts. Yesterday evening my Field Service group wanted to visit this Indonesian sister who has again been hospitalized for the umpteenth time. But she told us she is not allowed any visitors. So I sent her today's text to encourage her. Maybe send her some prompts about thinking about conditions in the New World.
  14. One of the homeless men that I do meet almost everyday is illiterate. He only speaks the native language and doesn't have a smartphone. I was thinking of giving him my old phone (Xiaomi Redmi) The motherboard is spoilt and it can only be usable via wifi. He is less than 40 years old and he is always giving me stuff that he gets free. I told him that he has to grab the opportunity to learn a language, even his native tongue before he hits 40. I googled up that statement and found it is still possible to start learning at any age (albeit more difficult as one gets older) It's a really daunting job getting that person started. I probably have to get some children books at pre school level. It would really be good if I could set myself a goal to achieve some good to some poor soul and at the same time, keep my aged brain more active. It's been a struggle the last few years as age catches up with me. I have tried all sorts of ways to stay cognitively sharp but there still a lot left to desired. I'm also worried young people especially teenagers today are so hooked up on their smartphones that it is affecting how they learn and behave. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/screens-and-teens-how-phones-broke-children-s-brains/ar-AA1rOLPC

    Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
