In this week's news, Boeing's Starliner has docked to the ISS with some faults along the way. NASA wants your feedback on the Artemis program and the rollout of SLS, it slipped again. This is tomorrow's Space News. Let's start off with talking about Raptor 2, which is another delivery of two engines over the past week. 33 of these will be needed on Super Heavy, and it's great to see them arriving rather swiftly to Starbase after testing at McGregor. One of them is SN63, but I can't work out what the other one is, as the number was on the other side. Booster 8's transfer tube, also known as the Downcomer, has been inserted through the top into the rings, and hopefully SpaceX have learnt how to avoid turning this one into a damp paper straw like the transfer tube inside of Booster 7. Speaking of Booster 7, it's still in High Bay 2. A SpaceX secretly installing Raptors onto the bottom of this Super Heavy booster? Let me know what you think in the comments. Here's one of the new nose cones, but the sleek stainless steel design has been covered with starbrick thermal tiles. Hopefully, we'll see it rolled out of 10-3 soon. The ground service equipment around the orbital launch pad was seen venting on Friday and Saturday, and tests continue to make sure that all the pipes are behaving as expected. This booster quick disconnect cover has also been seen lifted in by Crane. I don't tend to cover deliveries to the tank farm, as 99% of the time it's just liquid nitrogen and we've all seen that being delivered before. However, this delivery is of liquid methane, which must mean that SpaceX are looking to perform some rack to firings at starbase soon. Booster 7 static fire anyone? Star factory is, of course, continuing construction quickly, as even more siding has been installed with the framework of the building not yet completed. With last week's episode being a couple days late due to me being ill, I actually covered two days extra of starbase updates, which means this week has two days less of updates, but there is one more thing which caught my eye. This is a mobile office which SpaceX has styled to look like the crew access arm attached to the fixed service structure at LC39A, which is a very creative way to stylise what is essentially a shipping container on the back of a truck. Styling is now officially available for moving vehicles, such as RVs, as that's what the new service has been named after. According to SpaceX, it's ideal for customers who are travelling to locations where you don't traditionally get an internet connection or even a phone connection if you're properly going off-grid. Instead of the residential and business services, styling for RVs is pay as you go, so you can pay in one month increments, meaning you only pay for the service when you're travelling, which is useful. You don't want to be paying for a service you're not using for 11 months of the year. However, the big question, can you use this whilst you're moving? Now officially on the website, it doesn't say you can't use it whilst you're moving, it just says it isn't designed to be used whilst you're moving, so I'm sure plenty of people will be trying that out once they receive their units. A mission two years in the making is finally here, as the second commercial crew vehicle has made it to the International Space Station. Say what you will about Star Lioner's performances in the past, but we're now on track for the first time ever in history that one country has two different crew capable vehicle types operating simultaneously. Launching at 2254 UTC on May 19th from Slick 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Atlas V AV082 was in its N22 configuration, which means that there was no fairing, there were two solid rocket motors and there were two RL10 engines on the center upper stage. Having two engines allowed Star Lioner to safely abort at any time in the mission. After the post launch briefing, we received no word from NASA or Boeing on the status of the vehicle. In fact, they were silent for 17 hours, leading to a loss of speculation on Twitter as to whether or not Star Lioner was okay. It was okay, but there were definitely some hiccups. During that time period, two of the orbital maneuvering thrusters failed during the orbit insertion burn. The cause of this has been identified as a drop in chamber pressure according to Boeing, and the other 10 aft thrusters were able to cover for the two which were lost. The other glitch was some dodgy behavior of a thermal cooling loop which could have been caused by moisture getting into the loop and then freezing up, which would have clocked it. Stable temperatures were still able to be maintained, however. That wasn't the end of the glitches in the mission, though, as even during the live broadcast there were problems. On the approach to the ISS, two of the reaction control system or RCS thrusters failed, but there are plenty of redundant thrusters on the vehicle in the event that this would happen. The cause of these failures is also suspected to be a loss in chamber pressure. There was also a hold at 10 meters to go for Star Lioner, as the docking system at the top of the capsule was being checked over, with the docking ring being retracted and re-extended before those responsible on the ground gave the go ahead. Glitches aside, however, the vehicle was still able to successfully and safely dock to the forward docking port on the US Harmony Module about an hour later than expected at OO 28 UTC on the 21st. This happened right at the end of the day for the space station crew, so they left hatch opening until the following day so the crew could be well rested before touring the interior of the new capsule. There were two passengers on this flight. Firstly, Rosie the Rocketeer made her second trip to space after her flight on OFT-1. Being an anthropomorphic test device, more commonly called a test dummy, she was used to collect data on a humanoid-shaped object. But of course, if Rosie is strapped to her seat, what will we use to identify zero gravity?  That answer came in the form of the Gemini Kerbin Plush, the main pilot from the Kerbal Space Programme franchise. In my personal save file, Jeb has just returned from a trip to my Kerbin space station, so it's nice to see his enthusiasm in his job already making it up to the ISS. Starliner can't stay docked to the ISS forever though, with the undocking scheduled for 1836 UTC on May 25th the day after this video's release and the landing at White Sands Missile range four hours and ten minutes later, so keep an eye out for the undocking and landing broadcasts from Boeing and NASA. Do you want to have your say in the future of NASA's deep space exploration objectives? Well, now you can as the agency has launched an online form which anyone can fill out. I believe NASA are only interested in opinions from the US public though, but anyone can fill out the form from anywhere in the world, so there's nothing stopping you if you're not American. There are 50 different objectives listed on the form and in the PDF glossary which NASA also provided and they fall into four different categories which are transportation and habitation objectives, lunar and martian infrastructure objectives, operations objectives and science objectives. The feedback received is classed as informal as this data gathering opportunity is really just a way that NASA can gauge how the general public feels about these objectives, what they can improve on and what they might have missed. If you decide to leave feedback and NASA particularly like it and you leave your email then you could have the opportunity to go to a workshop in the summer and discuss your feedback, which is pretty cool. There was also a 35 minute video released with Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, Director of Space Architecture's Spudsvogel and Associate Administrator for Exploration Systems Development and Mission Directorate, Jim Free, explaining the entire thing in much greater detail than I can in this news episode and that is also available in the press release linked below. The scheduled date for SLS's role back to the pad for the second round of wet dress rehearsal attempts is still up in the air for NASA as the estimated date of late May is now being pushed slightly to June. The Director of the Kennedy Space Center, Janet Petro, has confirmed that the supply of nitrogen gas from air equids to the KSC has been tested and that the team are feeling confident about rolling out in early June. The exact date hasn't been confirmed before the rollout but according to NASA Associate Administrator Bob Cabana, the wet dress attempt would be on the 18th to the 20th of June with rollout about two weeks before that so expect a rough rollout date of about the 4th of June. The August launch date is still being aimed at with two windows officially being released, those are July 26th to August 10th excluding the 1st, 2nd and 6th of August and August 23rd to September 6th excluding the 30th of August and the 1st of September. There are plenty of factors which are going into selecting these dates such as available trajectories to the moon which will mean that Orion will return to Earth off the coast of California in the daytime and other missions from the Cape which have much less flexibility such as Psyche which has just received a delay itself. This is something slightly unexpected because as far as we knew Psyche's launch window was only really around August but it seems like the team behind the mission believed that Falcon Heavy will still be capable of sending the satellite to an encounter around the asteroid even in a more inefficient window. If you're worried about my trip to go and see the launch don't worry everything can be rescheduled and we'll be working on that as soon as more solid dates are released. The actual delay is caused by a software problem there is an issue which is preventing confirmation that the software which controls the spacecraft is functioning as the team had planned so this is being reviewed and corrected. This pushes the new launch readiness date to September 20th which is speculated to be right at the back of this year's launch window. Principal investigator of the mission, Lindy Elkins Tanton isn't saying a lot on Twitter at the moment and what he's tweeted is just as obscure as not being told anything. In response to a question about the launch window she said is not yet public and they're working on it. Hopefully soon a more firm date can be put into place allowing rescheduling for my trip to go and see this historic mission launch from the Cape. If you want to help out with that campaign so you get exclusive content for tomorrow then head to the link on screen which should also be in the description down below. Sad times aside let's get into traffic. As we've already covered Starliner that leaves just one launch for space traffic which was RSW-04-06 on a long launch to sea. This mission launched at 1030 coordinated universal time from launch area 4 at the Jiquan satellite launch centre in China. RSW stands for Integrated Experimental Satellites in Chinese and the programme will see test satellites being used to develop a low earth orbit constellation called QIWANG. There's only one orbital departure this week which is transporter 5 from SpaceX. And here is your space weather with Dr. Tammet Disco. Space weather this week is leaving us wanting. As we take a look at the earth-facing disc it sure looks lively but believe it or not all of this activity has not really affected earth all that much. Now we do have a coronal hole that's been rotating in through the earth strike zone it sent us some fast solar wind over the last day or so and that has brought us just a tiny bit of activity. We bumped up to active conditions for a very short while but things are already beginning to wane. And if we take a look at all of the bright regions on the earth-facing disc believe it or not we do have some big flare players. The main player is region 3014 it has been firing off some decent M class flares and it actually is an X flare player just a tiny bit but along with region 3011 and 3018 in the south and also 3019 on the east these regions have not brought us anything in terms of big solar storm launches. We've gotten a little wispy things to the east and to the west of us but that's been about it. Meanwhile we also have a crescent shape a coronal hole that's going to be rotating in through the earth strike zone probably sometime this upcoming week and that could give us yet another small chance for aurora but probably not something that's super intense so we're just going to be taking a look and waiting for solar storms to potentially erupt. We do have several filaments in the south one actually launched on the 19th and the other one is in the earth strike zone right now and we're watching it very closely because if it were to erupt now it could lead to an earth directed solar storm so there's a lot of potential on the earth-facing disc but not too much happening in terms of earth impacts as of yet. Now as we take a look at our farsighted sun this is stereo A and it's looking at the sun just a little bit from the side. You can see all of these active regions and sure enough some of the pups and fizzles from all of the different big flare players. In fact as we take a look at the east limb in stereo's view you can definitely see two big regions that are rotating into view in stereo and they are firing some solar storms and possibly some big flares so we do have potential for more activity rotating into earth view here over the next few days for more details on this week's space weather including how all this activity might affect you.

Hi and welcome to today's takeout. My name is Amy Gillette, I'm a collections researcher at the Barnes. Now today we're going to go into gallery number four and if you watched last week we actually looked at this medievalizing image by the American artist Charles Prendergast entitled The Offering. And today we're going to look at an actually medieval image above it, a little image of the Madonna and child made in the Upper Rhine or Southwest region of Germany right around in the late 1400s. So let's step on in and take a closer look. Here we are and it's an absolutely exquisite image and maybe my favorite in the entire collection and it's hard to see when you're physically in the gallery so I'm so glad to be able to look at it in depth with you today. So like we said it's the Madonna or Virgin Mary holding the infant Christ in this paradise like garden. And the central composition itself with this very gentle young mother, this sweet little infant is something that our artist who is anonymous would have copied from really famous artists. There are compositions by artists such as Roger van der Vijden in the earlier 1400s and then the famous painter and printmaker Martin Schoengaard, who diffused these compositions all over northwestern Europe. And we see here, let's look a little closer. This little infant Christ. It's got white eyes, kind of chubby little cheeks. He's completely undressed to show his state of innocence of purity of grace. He has this cruciform halo made with real gold leaf and by cruciform I mean that it's got this cross that you might be able to see behind it only members of the Trinity would have and so that's Christ himself God the Father and also the Holy Spirit. And he seems to be receiving a golden apple from his mother right here and the apple itself is kind of abraded but it was a popular design to show that where mankind had fallen in a garden really because of an apple Christ would come back to redeem that sin. And on the other hand you can see, I think this is very sweet is gripping the side of his mother's mantle, but I want to look at his hands and feet for a sec which are in kind of contrived positions and that's that would be something that the person who would have been commissioning using this image would have understood as a reference to this baby's ultimate sacrifice as an adult on the cross and be able to imagine those little baby hands and feet ultimately being pierced through with nails which would have a huge poignant emotional impact.  And you can see that she's wearing this blue mantle, which was a celestial color symbolizing sister symbolizing heaven. Let's take a look at this completely gorgeous mantle, red and gold and it's got pearls, the fix to it. Red showed that she was contributing through human blood human flesh to Christ. And likewise straddling the earthly and heavenly. We have this dual diadem so as much as she's a human mother to this little boy, we also get to see that ultimately she's going to rule alongside Christ is as the Queen of Heaven for this like extraordinary reward for extraordinary contribution to human salvation. And so, looking at these details, some of you might be wondering what on earth is going on with these flames behind the tree line and it's a major signal I think that this is no like natural garden landscape that we're looking at, but instead something on fire and it's the detail that it struck me. When I when I started looking at this picture and I remember going to look in the object file and to see if there's anything about it and all there was was a note saying that the trees appear to be on fire. So what I think is going on here is that in the Middle Ages, it was popular to look at the Virgin Mary as a kind of answer to the or a fulfillment of the burning bush that the prophet Moses had encountered in the desert in the Old Testament where he encountered a bush on fire that but not consumed because it was filled with God and medieval Christians believed that to be kind of a symbol of the Virgin Mary who was pregnant with Christ but still a virgin and not consumed. Other things that we can see around this victory, for example. A wonderful example I think of medieval botanical illustration, but part of what it would really signal would be that Ave Maria prayer, the Hail Mary prayer, Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you, and then one of the lines is blessed is the fruit of your womb, a quotation from from the gospel of Luke. And then above that even we can see this wonderful son that seems to be inscribed with a crescent moon. That's a reference to the biblical book of Revelation where the event john the evangelist talks about. I'm going to read a quote, an apocalyptic woman clothed with the sun with the moon under her feet who brought forth a man child who was to rule all nations. Again understood to be the Virgin Mary. And then up here I think we may have the tree of life that also turned into the cross on which Christ was crucified and one of the details that I think is really quite amazing. If we look down here we've got, well, let's see not just a sec for for better context we've got this meandering stream going all throughout which could be a river of paradise it could be likewise the living water of baptism which Christians understood as requisite entering the kingdom of heaven. And if we look down in the corner though. Let's check this out. I see pearls, I see coral, some mollusks, and these as I understand are not things that you're going to be finding in a freshwater stream right and so these two are symbols or emblems coral for protection. The pearls were supposed to be Christ in the in the womb of Mary strawberries could stand for righteousness and like violets for humility and carnations for love but I think most importantly we can see here are some lilies here are some roses. You would see as these signs of the Virgin Mary's purity and she was also said to be a rose without thorns like consummately sweet, but the lilies and roses together were symbols of mystical union with the divine. A kind of interpretation of the lilies and roses that show up in the song of songs between a lover and his beloved. And that's what this entire image was really for was mystical union. If you were a member of the faithful using this image and maybe your home or a little chapel for private prayer you've got a candle flickering against all this gold and animating it on the halos on the brocade. You'd have all of these signs and symbols to incite these prayers, and the image was really a way of immersing yourself of decorating your own mind and own heart with these imageries to come together spiritually with Christ and Mary in hope of eventually joining them in in in the heavenly garden of paradise. And so this idea, an idea that I'd like to close with actually is that of repetition. I mentioned that the central composition as well as the garden idea were replicated time and again in in the late medieval world. Prayer itself was iterative, but the incidents were not isolated so much as understood as progressive every time say for instance you're saying to hail Mary it gets you a bit closer to paradise. And I'd like to think about that too in terms of where we see this within the Barnes Foundation, where the medieval image is above a kind of repetition of this medievalizing 20th century American image and likewise. Every time a visitor comes into these galleries we encounter these images of fresh something new. And so I think that every time we see them we engage with them. Perhaps we bring something new to ourselves as as well as to these paintings in their long lives and after lives. So that's it for today's take out and thank you so much for joining. I hope you enjoyed Barnes take out. Subscribe and make sure your post notifications are on to get daily servings of art. Thanks for watching and for your support of the Barnes Foundation.


The skin is constantly exposed to various external elements such as UV radiation, pollutants, and free radicals. These elements can cause oxidative stress, which leads to skin damage. To protect against this damage, it is important to limit exposure to harmful elements, take vitamins and minerals for better antioxidant defense, and apply sunscreen.

So gun laws and gun control have been in the news a lot lately. Can't imagine why. It would help to know what the existing laws about owning and using guns are and what they require you to do if you want to have a gun, or several, handy. So let's dig in, shall we? The very first law that touches your guns, at least until the Gun Touching Act of 2014 passes, is the requirement of gun registration. Every gun manufacturer, importer, and dealer has registered every gun that either make, import, or sell, and ensure that gun has unique serial number. Whenever a gun is sold, the dealer has to record the purchaser's name and the gun's serial number. They also have to include whether it was purchased for use by an agent of a state or local government. But, the information collected when the gun was registered can't be used as evidence in a criminal case, unless it was given falsely. It's illegal to buy or sell on registered gun. This is in part because every time a gun is made, imported, or sold, you have to pay a tax. The tax is $200, which is the same as it was in 1934. All gun manufacturers, importers, and dealers must also be licensed, and the license fee ranges from $100 to $500. The law specifically states that registration includes guns disguised as other objects. And to make sure that people are following the rules, the ATF inspects licensed gun dealers every 12 months, as well as after any crimes involving that dealer's guns. Breaking the registration or licensing rules will mean your guns get seized and you could pay up to $250,000 in fines as an individual, or $500,000 if you're an organization. A dealer is someone who makes a business selling guns, not someone who sells them occasionally or on the side. There is a vigorous debate over whether these amateur sellers should also get a license and file paperwork. No one knows for sure how many guns are sold this way, with estimates ranging from 25 to 40% of total sales. Some kinds of guns are banned for being sold in the U.S. at all. Machine guns are banned. This means any gun that can shoot more than once in a row without having to pull the trigger again. Silencers are also banned, though both can still be made for export. There are no restrictions, though, on antique firearms, which means anything made in 1898 or before if you can't still readily buy ammo for it. There's also the assault weapons ban, which ran from 1994 to 2004 and is being discussed again. It banned 18 types of semi-automatic guns, which means a gun that lets you shoot multiple times just by pulling the trigger again, that had specific military features, like a telescoping stock, a pistol grip on rifles, a bayonet mount, a grenade launcher, or a flash suppressor. The assault weapons ban also applied to any ammo clips that let you put more than 10 bullets in a gun at a time. One problem was that it didn't apply to anything made before 1994, so there were a lot of semi-automatic weapons still floating around for those 10 years. Another problem was that most types of guns are semi-automatic, so the line between what was and what wasn't banned was hard to understand and rather blurry. The other major federal gun law is the Brady Bill, which applies to background checks. While minors, the ages 21 for handguns and 18 for everything else, felons, drug addicts, and anyone legally decided mentally defective have all been barred from owing guns since 1968, there wasn't any good way of enforcing this. The Brady Bill enacted a system of background checks in 1994. First they were required to be done by law enforcement officers, and then when that was ruled unconstitutional an instant online system was instituted, though many law enforcement officers still voluntarily do background checks. It also widens the gun ban to illegal immigrants, dishonorably discharged soldiers, people under restraining orders, people under indictment for a crime or punishment exceeds one year, and people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence. The background check can take up to three days. Congress also offers grants to states to improve their electronic background check systems. Now the state level law is very widely. Some states recognize the permits of other states and some don't. States aren't required to spend their own resources in forcing federal gun laws, though some do. Generally states will have rules about gun registration and licenses, waiting periods, rules on how many guns you can own, and rules about where you can have guns as well as how you can carry them. For example, some states limit the number of guns you can buy at any one time, particularly handguns. Some states require you to log a certain number of shooting hours or even to take a test before you get a gun license. Some states ban weapons in certain public places. And some states make it really hard or impossible to either carry a gun with you everywhere you go, called open carry, or to carry a gun around in secret, called concealed carry. Most states are less restrictive than the federal government, but some are much more so. You may have heard about the Heller case that went to the Supreme Court. DC had banned handguns altogether and required a trigger lock on any guns in the house. The Supreme Court struck both of those restrictions down. The really important part was that the court health of the Second Amendment does guarantee an individual right to bear arms. And there you have it.


Chapter 85 of it is never too late to mend. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. It is never too late to mend by Charles Reid. Chapter 85. A month of and then one day George asked Susan Plump when it would be agreeable to her to marry him. Mary you George replied Susan opening her eyes why never I shall never marry anyone after you must be well aware of that. Susan proceeded to inform George that though foolishness was a part of her character selfishness was not. Recent events have destroyed an agreeable delusion under which she had imagined herself worthy to be Mrs. George Fielding. She therefore though with some reluctance intended to resign that situation to some wiser and better woman than she had turned out. In this agreeable resolution she persisted bearing it occasionally with little showers of tears unaccompanied by the slightest convulsion of the muscles of the face. But as I am not like George Fielding in love with Susan Merton or with self-deception and others, I spare the reader all the pretty things this young lady said and believed and did to postpone her inevitable happiness. Yes inevitable for this sort of thing never yet kept lovers long apart since the world was except in a novel worse than common. I will but relate how that fine fellow George dried these foolish drops on one occasion. Susan said he if I had found you going to be married to another man with the roses on your cheek I should have turned on my heel and back to Australia. But a look in your face was enough you were miserable and any old fool could see your heart was dead against it.  We can't be happier part that has come together. Ah George if I thought your happiness depended on having a foolish wife why you know it does reply the inadvertent agricola that alters the case sooner than you should be unhappy I think I named the day then in short the bells rang a merry-peel and to reconcile Susan to her unavoidable happiness Mr. Eden came down and gave an additional wait in a way of viewing things to the marriage ceremony by officiating it must be owned that this favorable circumstance cost her a few tears too. How so Mr. Reed? Mary sir thus Mr. Eden was what they call eccentric among his other deviations from you see she delivered the meaning of sentences in church along with the words this was a thunder clap to poor Susan she had often heard a chanting machine utter the marriage service all on one note and heard it with a certain smile of unintelligent complacency her sex were out of politeness but when the man Eden told her at the altar with simple earnestness what a high and deep and solemn contract she was making then and there with God and man she began to cry and wept like April through the ceremony I'm not quite done with this pair but leave them a few minutes for some words are due to other characters and to none I think more than to this very Mr. Eden whose zeal and wisdom brought our hero and unheroin happily together through the subtle sequence of causes I have related the prime thread a converted thief Mr. Eden's strength broke down under the prodigious effort to defeat the effect of separate confinement on the bodies and souls of his prisoners Dr. Galson ordered him abroad having now since the removal of halls given the separate and silent system along an impartial trial his last public act was to write at the foot of his report a solemn protest against it as an impious and mad attempt to defy God's will as written on the face of man's nature to crush to those very instincts from which rise communities cities laws prisons churches civilization and to wreck souls and bodies under pretense of curing souls not by knowledge wisdom patients Christian love or any great moral effort but by the easy and physical expedient of turning one key on each prisoner instead of honor score these said Mr. Eden are the dreams of selfish lazy heartless dances and reckless bigots dwarf robes peers with self-deceiving hearts that dream philanthropy fluent lips that can't philanthropy and hands swift to shed blood which is not blood to them because they are mere sensual brutes so low in intelligence that although men are murdered and died before their eyes they cannot see it was murdered because there was no knocking on the head or cutting of throats the Reverend gentleman then formally washed his hands of the blood shed and reason shed of the separate system and resigned his office earnestly requesting at the same time that as soon as the government should come round to his opinion they would permit him to cooperate in any enlightened experiment where God should no longer be defied by a knot of worms as in jail then he went abroad but though professedly hunting healthy visited and inspected half the principal prisons in Europe after many months events justified his prediction the government started a large prison on common sense and humanity and mr. Lacey's interest procured mr. Eden the place of its chaplain this prison was what every prison in the English provinces will be in five years time a well-ordered community an epitome of the world at large for which a prison is to prepare men not unfit them as frenzy dunces would do it was also a self-sustaining community like the world the prisoners a prisoner grown corn and meat war prisoner may close embedding wire lighted by gas made in the prison et cetera et cetera et cetera et cetera the agricultural laborers had outdoor work suited to their future destiny and mechanical trades were zealously ransacked for the city rogues anti-theft rained triumphant no idleness no wicked waste of sweat the members of this community sleep in separate cells as men do in other well-ordered communities but they do not pine and wither and die in cells for offenses committed outside the prison walls here if you see a man caged like a wild beast all day you may be sure he is there not so much for his own good after that of the little community in which he has proved himself unworthy to mix pro tem foul language and contamination art check made it here not by the lazy selfish cruel expedient of universal solitude but by argous like surveillance office so sufficient in number listen with sharp ears and look with keen eyes the contaminator is sure to be seized and confined till prudence if not virtue ties his tongue thus he is disarmed and the better disposed encourage one another compare this legitimate and necessary use of that most terrible of tortures the cell with the tigro asinine use of it in seven english prisons out of nine at the present day it is just the difference between arsenic is used by a good physician and by a poisoner it is the difference between a razor bladed needle pointed knife in the hands of a christian a philosopher a skilled surgeon and the same knife in the hands of a savage a brute a scoundrel or a fanatical idiot mr eden had returned from abroad but a fortnight when he was called on to unite george and susan i have little more to add than that he was very hard worked and supremely happy in his new situation and that i failed to do him justice in these pages but he shall have justice one day when pitiless asses will find themselves more foul in the eyes of the all pure than the thieves they crushed under four walls and the just shall shine forth as the sun and they that turn not crush many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever thomas robinson did not stay long at grassmere things were said in the village that wounded him he'll repute will not stop directly ill conduct does he went to see mr eden sent his name in as mr sinclair was received with open arms and gave the good man a glow of happiness such as most of us i fear go to the grave without feeling or earning he presented him a massive gold ring he had hammered out of a nugget mr eden had never worn a ring in his life but he wore this with an innocent pride and showed it people and valued it more than he would the pit diamond which a french king bought of an english subject and the price was so heavy he paid for it by installment spread over many years robinson very wisely went back to australia and more wisely still married jenny with whom he had corresponded ever since he left her i have no fear he will ever break the eighth commandment again his heart was touched long ago and ever since then his understanding have received conviction upon conviction for oh the blaze of light that enters our souls when our fate puts us in his place in her place in their place whom we used to strike never realizing how it hurt them he is respected for his intelligence and good nature he is sober industrious pushing and punctilious in business one trait of the bohemian remains about every four months a restlessness comes over him then the wise jenny of her own accord proposes a trip poor times eyes sparkle directly off they go together a foolish wife would have made him go alone they come back and my lord goes to his duties with fresh zest till the periodical fit comes again no harm ever comes of it servants are at a great premium masters at a discount in the colony hence a domestic phenomenon which my english readers can hardly can see but i'm told my benerican friends have a faint glimpse of it in the occasional department of their helps in out of the way places now tom and especially jenny had looked forward to reigning in their own house and it was therefore a disappointment when they found themselves snubbed and treated with hot tour and jenny revolted against servant after servant who straight away abdicated and left her forlorn at last their advertisement was answered by a male candidate for menial authority who proved to be mr. miles their late master tom and jenny colored up and both agreed it was out of the question they should feel too ashamed mr. miles answered by offering to better crown he should make them the best servant in the street and strange to say the bargain was struck and he did turn out a model servant he was civil and respectful especially in public and never abused his situation comparing his conduct with his predecessors it really appeared that a gentleman can beat snobs in various relations of life as tom's master and jenny's he had never descended to servility nor was he betrayed into arrogance now that he had risen to be their servant a word about jackie after the meal off the scented rabbit in the bush robinson said slightly to george i thought you promised jackie a hiding well here he is now tom applied the other coloring up is it reasonable and he has just saved our two lives but if you think that i won't take him to task you are much mistaken george then remonstrated with the chief for spoiling abner with his tomahawk jackie opened his eyes with astonishment and admiration here was another instance of the white fellow's wonderful power of seeing things a good way behind him he have closed his eyes and tried in humble imitation to peer back into the past yes he could just manage to see himself very indistinctly giving abner a crack but stop let him see it was impossible to be positive but was not there also some small trifle of insolence in gratitude and above all bungality on the part of this abner when the distance had become too great to see the whole of a transaction why strain the eyes looking at a part finally jackie submitted that these microscopic researches cost a good deal of trouble and on the whole is drive were wiser than the white fellows in this that they reveled in the present and looked on the past as a period that never had been and the future is one that never would be on this george resigned the moral culture of his friend so will is not altogether bad said agricola but bless your heart it isn't a quarter of an inch deep on george's departure jackie being under the temporary impression of his words collected together a mixed company of blacks and march them to his possessions arrived he rang them on the cleverness of the white fellows and invited them to play at europeans behold this ingenious structure said he in australian this is called a house its use is to protect us from the weather at night all you have to do is to notice which way the wind blows and go and lie down on the opposite side of the house and there you are then again when you are cold you won't find a number of wooden articles in the house you go in you bring them out and burn them and are warm he then produced what he had always considered the chef diver of the white races a box of lucifer matches this too was a present from george see what clever fellows they are said he they carry about fire which is fire or not fire at the forge net possessors will and he let off lucifer these the tribe admired but doubted whether all those little sticks had the same marvelous property and would become fire in the hour of knee jackie sneered at their incredulity and let them all off one by one in a series of preliminary experiments this impaired their future usefulness in short they settled there one or two's heads had to be broken for killing the breeders for dinner and that practice stopped but the potbellied youngsters generally celebrate the birth of a lamb by spearing it they slept on the lee side of the house warmed at night by the chairs and tables etc which they lighted they got on very nicely only one fine morning without the slightest warning were they all went off to the woods jackie and all and never returned the remaining bullocks strayed devious and the deuce mclaughlin blindly absorbed the sheep hasty and imperfect as my sketch of this jackie is give it a place in your notebook of sketches for in a few years the australian savage will breathe only in these pages and the sacks and plow will erase his very grave his mill meridian brutus lived but the form and strength he had abused were gone he is the shape of a note of interrogation and by coincidence is now an asker that is he begs receives alms and sets on a gang of burglars with whom he is in league to rob the good christians that show him pity nefestophiles came suddenly to grief when gold was found in victoria he crossed over to that port and robbed one day he robbed the tent of an old man a native of the colony who was digging there with his son a lot of 15 now these currency lads are very sharp and determined the youngster caught a glimpse of the retiring thief and followed him and saw him enter a tent he watched at the entrance and when nefestophiles came out again he put a pistol to the man's breast and shot him dead without a word of remonstrance accusation or explanation a few diggers ran out of their claims if our gold is not on him says the youngster i have made a mistake the gold was found on the carcass and the diggers went coolly back to their work the youngster went directly to the commissioner and told him what he had done i don't see that i'm called on to interfere replied that functionary he was taken in the act you have buried him of course him of course not i i let him lie for whoever chose to own him you let him lie what when there is a printed order from the government stuck over the whole mind that nobody is to leave carrion about you go off directly and bury your carrion or you will get into trouble young man and the official's manner became harsh and threatening if ever a man were shot like a dog surely the assassin of carlo was mr meadows in the prison refused his food and fell into a deep depression but the third day he revived and fell to scheming again he sent to mr levi and offered to give him a long lease of his old house if he would be absent from the trial this was a sore temptation to the old man but meantime stronger measures were taken in his defense and without consulting him one evening that susan and george were in the garden at grassmere suddenly an old woman came toward them with slow and hesitating steps susan fled at the side of her she hated the very name this old woman bore george stood his ground looking sheepish the old woman stood before him trembling violently and fighting against her tears she could not speak but held out a letter to him he took it the ink was rusty it was written 20 years ago it was from his mother to her neighbor mrs meadows then on a visit at newborough telling her how young john had fought for and protected her against a band of drunken ruffians and how grateful she was and i do hope dame he will be his good friends with my lads when they are men as you and i have been this many a day george did not speak for a long time he held the letter and it trembled a little in his hand he looked at the old woman standing a piteous silent supplicant mrs meadows said he scares above a whisper give me this letter if you will be so good i've not got her handwriting except our names in the bible she gave him the letter half reluctantly and looked fearfully and inquiringly in his face he smiled kindly and a sort of proud curl came for a moment to his lip and the woman read the man this royal rustic would not have taken the letter if he had not granted the mother's unspoken prayer god bless you both said she and went on her way the assizes came and meadows two plaintiffs both were absent robinson gone to australia and george forfeited his recognizances and had to pay a hundred pound for it the defendants were freed then isek levi said to himself he will not keep faith with me but he did not know his man meadows had a conscience though an oblique one a promise from him was sacred in his own eyes a man came to grass me and left a hundred pound in that letter for george fielding then he went on to levi and gave him a parcel and a note the parcel contained the title deeds of the house and the note said take the house and the furniture and pay me what you consider they are worth and old man i think you might take your curse off me for i've never known a heart at rest since you laid it on me and you see now our case is altered you have a home now and john meadows has none then the old man was softened and he wrote a line in reply and said three just men shall value the house and furniture and i will pay etc etc put now adversity to profit repent and prosper isek levi wishes you no ill from this day but rather good thus died as mortal feelings are apt to die and enmity its owners thought immortal a steam vessel glided down the tims bound for port philip on the deck were to be seen a little girl crying bitterly this was hannah a stalwart yeoman-like figure who stood unmoved as the shores glided by omnae solemn forty patria and an old woman who held his arm as if she needed to feel him at the moment of leaving her native land this old woman had hated and announced his sins and there was scarce a point of morality on which she thoroughly agreed with him yet at three score years and ten she left her native land with two so objects to comfort this doubt man and went him to repentance he shall repent said she to herself even now his eyes are opening is hard as softening three times he has said to me that george feeling is a better man than i am he will repent again he said to me i have thought too little of you and too much where it was a sin for me even to look he will repent his voice is softer he bears no malice he blames none but himself it is never too late to mend he will repent and i shall see him happy and lay my old bones to rest contented though not where i thought to lay them in grass mere church yard ah you do well to hold that quaint little old figure with that strong arm closer to you than you have done this many years i since you were a curly-headed boy it is a good sign john on neither side of the equator shall you ever find a friend like her all other love is mockery and deceit it is like the mirage of the desert that appears a cool refreshing water and allures the thirsty traveler but flies anon and leaves him disappointed wondering so fair a vision should so futile prove a mother's love is like unto a well sealed and kept secret a deep hidden fount that flows when every other spring is dry so fear would drift peter crawley left to his own resources practices at the county courts in his old neighborhood and drinks with all his clients who are of the lowest imaginable order he complains that he can't pack yet continues the cause of his infirmity living almost entirely upon a cockadoodle broth eggs beat up in brandy and a little water like sip you he is never less alone than when alone with this difference that the companions of pcs solitude do not add to the pleasure of his existence unless somebody can make him see that it is never too late to mend this little road fool and sought will shut up like a knife someday so says a medical friend and then it will be too late it is nine in the evening a little party is collected of farmers and their wives and daughters mrs george feeling rises and says now i must go home for monstrance of hostess george will be at home by now well wait till he comes for you or he won't come for fear of shortening my pleasure susan then explains that george is so foolish that he never will go into the house when she is not in it and here is a drizzle come on and there he will be sitting out in it i know if i don't go and drive him in events justify the prediction the good wife finds her husband sitting on the gate kicking his heels quite contented and peaceable only he would not pay the house the compliment of going into it when she was not there he told her once he looked on it as no better than a coal hole when she was not shining up and down it note well they have been some years married a calm but very tender conjugal love sits at this innocent heart george has made a great concession for an englishman he is solemnly deposited before witnesses his sobriquet of unlucky george not he was careful to explain because he found the great nugget nor because the matter he bought in bathurst for 200 pounds has just been sold by robinson for 12 000 pounds but on account of his being susan's husband and susan is very happy besides the pleasure of loving and being loved she is in her place in creation the class of women a very large one to which she belongs comes into the world to make others happy susan is skillful at this and very successful she makes everybody happy around her and that is so pleasant she makes the man she loves happy and that is delightful my reader shall laugh at her my unfriendly critic shall sneer at her as a heroine of a novel she deserves it but i hope for their own sakes neither will undervalue their original and their passage through life these average women are not the spice of fiction but they are the salt of real life william building is godfather to susan's little boy he can stand by his brother's side and look without compunction on and fielding's grave and think without an unmanly shutter of his own end of chapter 85 end of it is never too late to mend by charles reid


Hello and welcome to day five of our mindfulness challenge. Today's another different day in our life here in the house. I honestly think that my wife has contracted the coronavirus. She's in bed, she's got a really high temperature and she's quite lifeless, but we're giving her tablets. She suffers from asthma so we're going to have to watch how we go with her breathing and if it deteriorates over today, we're going to call the hospital and see where we are. But we have to keep going on, we have to keep fighting, we have to keep being in the right frame of mind and I know how much and people have said how much they're enjoying these videos but also there's a lot of important messages especially around this time. Last night at 8.30 our Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, stated that we are now in complete lockdown. You cannot go out unless it's for essential things. So there are testing times and with all of these testing times we have a lot of thoughts and we've spoke a lot about thoughts yesterday. But what about our emotions? What about these emotions that come to us and they conjure up things like anxiety and depression and fear and all of these things. What I want to talk about now is we've been doing loving kindness all week. Today we're going to do a body scan that I've recorded previously which we'll use from one of my mindfulness meditation courses on Udemy and we'll put that in today. But I want you to think about a couple of things. I want you to think about self-kindness versus self-judgment. What does that mean? Well, it's very easy for us to beat ourselves up over every little thing that goes wrong. So, if something goes wrong or we blame ourselves we say, oh, look, why does it always happen to me? Why is all this about? And we have to treat ourselves with care. We have to treat ourselves with understanding. We have a desire to heal ourselves, to comfort ourselves and be with ourselves, to soothe ourselves and give ourselves if we need a hug at times when we need it most to ensure that we are allowing self-kindness to cultivate over self-judgment. We're far too quick to judge ourselves. We're far too quick to have to try and ascertain on times unrealistic levels of our life based on what we're told us around us. A lot of our lives are manufactured from or indoctrated you can never say that word by what we're taught.  Well, that's fine and that's life. But we have choices and we have choices how we're going to live that life and free will for me is one of the greatest things. But when we think about self-kindness and self-judgment, stop trying to really strive for things that you don't need or put yourself under immense amounts of pressure that then you beat yourself up about.  When really if you sit with yourself and have self-kindness it really does help to treat yourself with care. Then there's what I talk about is normality, humanality. Normality, humanality. Where did that come from? Versus, you know, isolate ourselves. And what does that mean? Well, we need to reframe a lot of our experiences and put them into the context of the world that we're living and the life that we are leading. Sometimes we'll put ourselves in isolation because we think everything I do is wrong. I'm just not going to bother. I can't be asked. Well, this is rubbish. It's always me. It's my fault. And we put ourselves in isolation. We're all in isolation at the moment for different reasons. But this self-isolation is there because we don't think we're good enough. We don't think we can do it. We think it's always happening to us and my life is poxed and if I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all and what am I going to do?  We do not suffer in isolation albeit we penalize ourselves and put ourselves in isolation. If something goes wrong, it's not abnormal. If something bad happens, it's not abnormal. It happens all over the world and know that life will have its ups and downs. It's going to go wrong. We have to think about how we isolate ourselves on times and realize that if we do that it's really going to have a negative effect on us. We really want to be able to do and really start to get and live a life where we can really build resistance to things is we turn to face the issue. We turn to face the problem. We don't immediately go into problem-solving mode. We can just sit with it, stop. Stop wherever you, if you've got a problem on an issue think about it, bring it into your thoughts, stop and just sit with it and witness it. You might be sat there for an hour, a half an hour. No judgemental thoughts, no problem-solving, just sit with it and understand that we all have issues, we all have problems. I started this video today talking about my wife's illness but I'm not in isolation with that. This is happening all over the world. This is unfortunately becoming a normality. So we have to think about how we have common humanity. We all have and we all experience these feelings. We all have painful things happen in our lives. We have to be aware of our suffering. We have to notice our suffering, to be able to offer it compassion and mindfulness. And mindfulness allows us to be with that suffering where we can turn towards it and be with it. We can notice it, we can breathe with it and we can know that it will pass and that what is happening to us happens to people all over the world. Again, if we start self-judging ourselves, it's that niggling pain that really hurts us. It never goes away. We get lost in the role of being the self-critic. We forget how much we're hurting and we just keep beating ourselves up. We need to turn towards the pain, the suffering, the anxiety. Notice it, breathe it and let it pass. As I said, we go into problem-solving or fight or flight when issues start and that really, it can help solve some of the problems but it doesn't help solve any of the emotions and when we're in emotional pain we want to fix it straight away and it's when it comes to emotions and problem-solving that we really want to sit back and wait for the best response. There's a lot of wisdom in our problems. There's a lot of learning in our traumas and let's not throw that away.  Take the learning lessons from it and understand that it's going to pass and understand that lots of people have these issues and it's how we deal with this inner world that drives everything and the conventional views of emotions are very rigid. If this happens, you feel this way and we need to be more open with how our emotions affect us. We need to sit with them, we need to be with them and what I'd like you to do and you don't have to do it right now because if you want, okay?  Write it down and write it as if nobody's reading it or if nobody's going to read it and then sit with it and we need to understand that our lives are fragile and at this moment they have never been so fragile since, you know, well, I don't know maybe the wars, whatever but we need to understand that our lives are fragile. We want to move away from these rigid responses and move towards a loving kindness, a compassion and a love for ourselves if we can move away from seeing emotions of being good and bad and actually look to see where the positives are in them and we'll always still be positive, you know? And that's a standard response but if we can sit with it understand it and just be with it it's amazing what we can achieve. We know that if emotions are pushed to one side that they grow, we know, we talk about our awareness and when we push our awareness and we awaken then we bring these emotions back into play and let's face those emotions today sit with them, be with them knowing that you're not alone and these emotions are normal as our life unfolds the more we try to stop thinking emotions the more they grow and I was told a story once and it's great really it's like the chocolate cake in the fridge when you're on a diet the more you think about it the more chance you're going to go in the fridge and get it and before you know it you're sat down with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake so when you think about where you are today especially in this enforced isolation sharing the love, the knowledge that you're not alone you're not a bad person for feeling emotions but please realise this is normal open your heart and let the emotions flow and let your emotions out and accept them in the knowledge that you're not alone and life can be good or it can be bad one of the things I talked about which always gets comments is we are not our thoughts our thoughts are real but they're not true in the same context we own our emotions they don't own us we generate the best pathway to our best life a life where we're truly compassionate kind and loving to ourselves and to others be love and give love again we are not our emotions we own our emotions they don't own us sit with them turn to them, acknowledge them and let them go emotional agility is what we talk about allows us to take the values from the emotions but not to allow them to affect our lives and what we're feeling is normal and just finally before I go think about there's a thing called secondary response and when something happens it conjures up the emotion and the secondary response really is the point where it's not great so think of it this way the problem is generally not the problem it's our relationship and response to the problem so for argument's sake if I was working in a kitchen in my bar and I burnt a piece of food and I go oh it always happens to me bloody hell and I bang the stove and the chip pan falls off and fat goes all over the floor and the dishwasher walks down and she slips on the fat and burns herself and I'm oh see I told you it's always me why is it always me I can't bloody do anything and I've caused a catastrophe or I could turn around and say I burnt that just do another one the problem is the same the response is different and the long term response is different too so just think about it and again I want to remind you of a saying that I'm using quite a bit at the moment when we talk about you know how bad we all are and the situations we're all in and somebody once said to me don't pray for a man who has no shoes pray for a man who has no feet I'll leave that with you and just remember one thing we own our emotions they don't own us and we are not our emotions I'm going to put the mindful body scan video on the body scan video really is great because you're going to lay down you're going to sit with your emotions and you're going to see what rises we're going to connect with every part of our body parts of our body that we've never connected with before where we might have pushed some repressed emotions but now we know how to deal with these emotions we know how to accept them I hope you enjoy it here's the body scan and I'll see you in a minute now the body scan is very much we're going to go right the way through the body we're going to open it all up and we're going to see what emotions come out and then you know you can send me comments or whatever it is if you want to tell me what happened to you or whatever the scenario is so again what I want you to do is get into this very comfortable position I want you to be comfortable and not too relaxed this meditation or meditations ok so it's comfortable rather than relaxed so get into that comfortable position I want you to close your eyes ok I want you to close your eyes and I want you just to follow my breath follow my voice sorry ok just follow my voice again I want you to close your eyes and I want you to be aware of your breath so the mindfulness meditation that we've done just a few moments ago I want you to do it again breath in breath out breath in breath out and as I've said before if you have any thoughts that come into your mind acknowledge them breathe them in acknowledge them hold them accept them and then breathe them out breathe them away ok so you're sat now and you're going to focus on your breath breathing in breathing out at that point of contact your breath you feel it it's on your shirt or whatever it is breathe it in breathe it out now what I'm going to do is I want you to find your own natural rhythm ok your own natural breathing rhythm alright and I want you to be now comfortable and warm and you can sit in this position but your eyes now have closed gently and I want you to take a few moments again just to get in touch with the movement of your breath and the sensations in your body just sit and follow my breath follow my voice breathing in and you're breathing out now as I said you may be feeling some sensations in your body when you're ready bring your awareness to the physical sensations in your body especially the sensations of touch or pressure if you like where your body makes contact with the chair or the bed wherever you are on each out breath I want you to let yourself go so you can feel when you're sat in the chair or you're laying on the bed you feel those points of contact you're breathing in you're breathing out on every out breath as I said I want yourself to go I want you to sink a little deeper into the chair I want you to sink a little deeper into the bed if you are remind yourself of the intention of this practice the intention is to let all of your stress your emotions, your fears to go it's a name not to feel any different relax or calm this may happen or it may not but instead the intention of this practice as best you can is to bring the awareness to any sensations you detect as we focus on each part of the body or bring your attentions to the physical sensations in the lower abdomen becoming aware of any changing patterns or sensations in the abdomen in your stomach wall and as you breathe in and as you breathe out take a few moments to feel the sensations as you breathe in and you breathe out having connected with the sensations in your stomach in the abdomen bring your focus or spotlight of your awareness down the left leg so slowly your focus and awareness is going through the top of your thigh through your knee through your calf into the left foot and out of your toes on the left foot I want you to focus now on your breath on each one of these toes in the left foot in turn bring in a gentle curiosity to investigate the quality of the sensations as you find perhaps notice in the sense of contact between the toes a sense of tingling warmth or no particular sensation when you're ready on an in breath feel or imagine the breath enter in the lungs passing down the abdomen into the left leg left foot and out to the toes of the left feet then on the out breath feel or imagine breath coming all the way back up out to the foot into the leg and through the abdomen in through the chest and out through the nose as best you can continue this for a few breath breathing down into the toes and back out of the toes it may be difficult to get the hang of this practice this is just breathing into things as best you can approaching it in the right way now when you're ready and out breath let go of the awareness of the toes and bring your awareness to the sensations on the bottom of your left foot bring in a gentle investigative awareness to the soul of the foot the instep, their heel and notice in the sensations where the heel makes contact with the floor or the bed experiment with breathing with the sensations being aware of the breath in the background as in the foreground you explore the sensations of your lower foot breathing in and breathing out now allow the awareness to expand into the rest of the foot to the ankle, to the top of the foot and right into the bones and joints then taking a slightly deeper breath directing it down into the hole of the left foot and as the breath lets go out on the out breath let go of the left foot completely allow in the focus of awareness move into the lower left leg the calf, the shin, the knee and so on in turn continue to bring awareness and a gentle curiosity to the physical sensations in each part the rest of the body in turn to the upper left leg to the right toes to the right foot, to the right leg to the pelvic area into the back breathing through the abdomen make a point of contact to your chest your fingers, your hands and your arms your shoulders your neck, your head and your face and in each area as best you can bring the same detailed level of awareness and gentle curiosity to the bodily sensations they present breathe in and breathe out through your fingers, through your hands through your arms, through your shoulder and when you become aware of any tension or other intense sensations in particular part of the body breathe in acknowledge that emotion in turn hold it, breathe out and let it go using the in breath gently to bring awareness into these sensations and as best you can have a sense of letting them go or releasing them on the out breath so as you work yourself all over your body if you feel any emotions any feelings, breathe them in accept them and breathe them out your mind will inevitably wander away from the breath and from the body from time to time that is entirely normal it's what your minds do when you notice it generally acknowledge it noticing where the mind has gone off to and then gently return your attention to the part of the body you intend to focus on you breathe in and you breathe out so take that time now to go through all parts of your body down your right leg right thigh, right knee right down through the calf, through the foot through the sole and through the feet through the toes and now you're connected with your right leg I just want you to breathe in and see if any sensations or emotions or anything comes to this if it does we're going to breathe it in we're going to acknowledge it and we're going to breathe it out we're going to let it go and as we let it go we let go of all of our energy that we don't need any negative stress anything in those parts of the body we're going to let go and you need to scan the whole of your body and after you scan the whole body in this way spend a few moments being aware of the sensation of the body as a whole and of the breath freely flowing in and out of the body becoming too relaxed and falling asleep you might find it helpful just to prop your head up with a pillow you may also want to do it with open in your eyes practice sitting up rather than laying down and you could adjust the time spent in this practice by using larger chunks of your body to become aware of spending a short of longer time with each part the body scan is about you going through each part of your body breathing in finding any emotions anything and breathing out breathing in and breathing out okay so that's um that's a practice that we use the body scan in it okay um I'm sure you enjoyed that it's a little bit deep and it's a little bit can be a bit emotional and when I've done it with lots of people they said I never realised I stored that emotion in my right foot and I didn't realise I had so much anger inside me I didn't realise I didn't realise I didn't realise and that's fine you know doing these things and cultivating our mindfulness techniques and using some absolute profound wonderful things that have been gifted to us by some of the most greatest minds in the world we can truly start to live that you know helping yourself live that happy balanced healthy spiritual life with clarity and purpose God bless you stay safe and don't forget when you woke up this morning good morning Julian I love you good morning Julian I love you be love and give love God bless please leave your comments underneath if you've got anything to say please share the video and of course if you'd like subscribe to the channel we will be on day 6 tomorrow God bless stay safe take care bye bye

So So that's why it wasn't locked, but that guy just went in there and And we saw him what breeze right by Thomas open that gray box Flip he probably flipped us. Did you hear him flip a switch?

I'll tell it again. It basically we saw what appears to be a homeless guy who got into the Transformer thing that we didn't think was what we were told by the power company was not Active turns out it was because he had flipped a switch that turned off the power in the building But we didn't realize that so we were out of power for like 20 30 minutes flipping switches on the phone with the power company Trying to figure out what's going on Wandering outside seeing if anybody else had electrical issues in the buildings next to us everyone was okay And so we were kind of sitting outside and then this dude just breezes right by my colleague Thomas here Who's who's working here tonight? Goes to this large gray box that we thought was inactive Opens it up and this is all in like a split second opens it up flips this switch our power all lights come back on We start yelling at this guy because you know, he's turned around and he's running away No, and Trent Palmer to 150 and then there's Connor Phillips blue chrome autograph to 150 Jimmy Brant So yeah, and then he just starts running down the street right past the van store the shoe store near us He's like in two hoodies he's got a backpack with boots hanging off of it These he's got like these these saggy red shorts half of his ass is hanging out and I Don't know what I don't know what was happening and this all kind of happened in a matter of seconds We thought he was gonna Really yelling and maybe he was gonna stop and turn around and kind of give us an explanation Maybe it's like Yell an apology or said I was on accident. I was looking for I don't know something nothing silence I don't know in the time of him pandemic He did have like a bandana or a mask on or something like that, but in the time of a pandemic I Didn't really feel like tracking down Some random dude and a costing him. I was actually outside. I didn't have my my mask on with me Otherwise, maybe I might have so it was a weird night. That's why and I was supposed to start this break ages ago Yeah, some kind of oppo claws But it was a wild it was a wild day We've got him on camera So it is confirmed that it was him that he was fiddling around with it my speculation my guess is that I Suppose it could be sabotage But I can't imagine Be pretty sad but If that were the case but I I would have to think that I would have to think that This person probably was homeless or something like that and maybe thought that that was a An empty storage container that he thought he could maybe Take some shelter in him.  It's 25 nice one for the rocks Ross Ross gimbal with the Rockies Something like that And then realize what he did and came back and switch it back on. I don't know It was definitely the same person that came back though. So why would he just come back and turn it back on? I mean if If it was really like It was really like, you know in cities, wouldn't you just turn it off and leave it off and not come back 30 minutes later and turn it back on? It was Justin Lang to 499 which which is why it makes me think it was an accident so it was pretty weird because I was on the phone with the With with the boss man and and they had they had the power company on on their phone and we're Talking through the phone and all that sort of stuff and then all of a sudden was I was just like what the f Hey, I was like y'all. Yeah, I saw them on the phone. They're like what's happening. What's happening? I was like this guy just came in and turned the power So random There's Jordan and wogu. Oh, you think it was Thomas paid him to turn the power off to go home early Jordan and wogu going to EA and the cubbies So much so much for getting out of time on a Friday night.

These ones are not numbered That that edge looks a little I don't know if that's just dust But could be just be cardboard dust that could be clean. I just wanted to pop it into the top loader right away Nice sky blue Torkelson.

Yeah, I I crunched the numbers and those seven were the only real NFL games that were of interest to me We'll see how they go There's Jeff Criswell for the A's Garrett Lessman with the athletics Sometimes they'll be sometimes they'll be more Sometimes they'll be less on the picks for entertainment purposes only but another paper Torkelson One of these or multiples of these might grade out at a 10. You think the Vikings are in surprise the Bucks? I hope not Bucks minus six and a half is is one of my biggest plays At five units Along with Pittsburgh plus one Put five units on that all the other teams have all the other plays have two unit plays on although my Thursday night plays four units I mean The Bucks Bucks are coming off a buy and generally teams off a buy are pretty good Tom Brady, especially off a buy is pretty solid and areas is not a bad coach. I feel like he can take advantage of the of the buy week Buccaneers have enough of a front seven to To kind of neutralize or slow down Dalvin cook which means to get Kirk Cousins to throw more often There's Hans Kraus to 50 and Brandon fat Or fought Brandon. I fought the law and the law won 38 out of 99 Diamondbacks Mark Bissette Hans Kraus blue chrome to 150 See like a buy it certainly benefits a team like Tampa Bay the most because they can kind of Have a little extra practice time to re-tinker with that With that offense they've got a Tampa Bay's got a decent defense J-Dog They're past their run blocking or their run stopping the run I think they're a little bit better at that, but they've got a decent secondary too. It's not like It's not like Tampa Bay is short of weapons They just need to kind of unlock The puzzle of that offense and that extra week might be what they needed No, you're just thinking with your Vikings bias. No, I get it Trust me. I'm probably I'm probably gonna wake up tomorrow and end up putting money on like the Raiders There's Robert Possen paper to 499 My other big play is Pittsburgh plus one. I think that's a classic Mike Tomlin spot. I don't think he was happy with his team Last time they were playing And this is the kind of spot where where he where he Kind of whips him into shape Yes, right. He was this is live. We don't we don't ever do replays. We don't ever have replays of our stream Playing so anytime you see me It's live unless you're lagging behind however many minutes In that case make sure to hit that live button. It was Matt Libertura Also, if it wasn't live you you wouldn't be able to chat if this wasn't live Pittsburgh's now a plus two Go Pittsburgh to again Secento Are you guys near the beach in Hermosa? Are you asking if Hermosa Beach is near the beach? Yeah, every everyone in Hermosa Beach is near the beach we are Matthew Libertura to 250 Yeah, everything everything in Hermosa Beach is that this is near the beach What is what is near the beach to you? We're not like two feet away from the beach. Is that near maybe we need to redefine what near is Sorry that Connor Phillips by the way goes to the Mariners Jimmy Brant Torkelson paper, of course, they all go to Christchard. No, we're not a block or two away from the beach We're pretty close though We are I don't know if I drove my car to the beach. I'd probably get there in about five minutes Oh, if you were if you're in if you're kind of familiar with this area, we're where the We're at pier Avenue and Peer Avenue and for and Pacific Coast Highway So where the if you drive just from the pier if you just drive up that windy street north and you hit pch We're right there. So we are not too far away from the beach I wish we were like a block or two from the beach. I'd be even better. All right There you go, man.
