Viktor Emil Frankl Short documentary PROPER part1
The narrator's voice is slow, a bit monotonous but the doc
is valuable in understanding what Dr. Frankl and millions endured.
Victor Frankl was a world-renowned psychiatrist and professor who spent three years in a Nazi concentration camps during World War II. During this time he lost his entire immediate family -- mother, father, brother, and wife - with the exception of one sister. Among the thirty-nine books he authored was a book that is known in English as Man's Search for Meaning, translated directly as, saying yes to life in spite of everything. In this book he detailed his experience in the concentration camps, and shared his philosophy around the importance of meaning and hope.

The World Tomorrow : Cypherpunks Part 2
aitQ2XTaUVM
Published on Jun 5, 2012 by AssangeWorldTomorrow
A terrifying war is being fought in the digital second world of modern life. Technology designed to soak up individual's private communications is in constant development. In the age of cyber surveillance where does the boundary between private and public fall -- if it still exists at all?
On the front line of this digital conflict are the Cypherpunks, the focus of a two part special of The World Tomorrow beginning with part one this week. Andy Muller Maguhn, Jeremie Zimmerman, and Jacob Appelbaum are all prominent web activists advocating the free circulation of data and knowledge on the web. They are all key figures in the Cypherpunks movement -- a movement dedicated to keeping your private data private. In this eye-opening encounter, Julian Assange discusses with them the technical challenge posed by government snooping on personal data, the democratisation of essential encryption technology, and the importance of web activism. As Jacob Applebaum points out, "Now we take our personal lives and we put it all on Facebook. We communicate using the Internet or mobile phones, which are now meshed to the Internet. And military or intelligence agencies have control of that data and are studying it. So this is some kind of militarization of civilian life."

Women's "Die-In" against the Restart of Ooi Nuke Plant (Jun/07/2012)
zYQNd2ybiDg&feature=g-all-lik
On June 7, 2012, about 70 women including 10 women from Fukushima did a "die-in" in front of the Prime Minister's Official Residence to protest against the restart of Ooi Nuclear Power Plant. Before the die-in, 10 Fukushima women visited the Cabinet Office and met with officials to submit a letter of requests addressed to Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.
This video clip shows the words from the Fukushima women and part of the die-in.
On the very next day, June 8, 2012, Prime Minister Noda held a press conference and declared he would restart Ooi Nuclear Power Plant.

WAR ON HEALTH: The FDA’s Cult of Tyranny
Introduced by the director (from his speech at the world premiere in New York City, June 15, 2012)
In the near future, American medical practice may change dramatically for the worse. No longer will maximal dose natural supplements—vitamins, natural compounds, and scientifically proven medicinal herbs—be available over the counter in local health and grocery stores. Holistic practice, which relies upon non-prescription natural treatments instead of Big Pharma drugs prescribed life-long, will diminish. American healthcare will be imprisoned, patients will be forced to abide by a single medical paradigm defined by corporate drug and food executives and dictated by a government enforcement agency, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is the bleak scenario if the FDA succeeds in limiting Americans’ options to prevent and treat diseases.
‘War on Health’ is the first documentary detailing and challenging the FDA agenda and its allegiance with the international Codex Alimentarius, which hopes to establish a monolithic food and health regime. Betraying its founding mandate to assure drug, food and chemical safety in the interests of public health, the FDA today is a repressive bureaucracy serving pharmaceutical and agricultural greed and profits. Vaccines, medical devices, prescription drugs are fast tracked at alarming rates through the FDA at the expense of scientific oversight to assure their efficacy and safety. The result is hundreds of thousands premature deaths annually from pharmaceutical drugs, vaccines and medical devices and an epidemic of medical incompetence and fraud sanctioned by federal health officials.
Featuring many pioneering American and European attorneys, physicians, medical researchers and advocates of health freedom, War on Health lifts the veil on FDA’s militaristic operations against organic food providers and alternative physicians. The film’s conclusion is perfectly clear: the FDA is a tyrannical cult founded upon the denial of sound medical science with little intention to improve the nation’s health and prevent disease.

The Drugging Of Our Children (Full Length)
26e5PqrCePk&feature=related
In the absence of any objective medical tests to determine who has ADD or ADHD, doctors rely in part on standardized assessments and the impressions of teachers and guardians while the they administer leave little room for other causes or aggravating factors, such as diet, or environment. Hence, diagnosing a child or adolescent with ADD or ADHD is often the outcome, although no organic basis for either disease has yet to be clinically proven. Psychiatrists may then prescribe psychotropic drugs for the children without first without making it clear to parents that these medications can have severe side-effects including insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, psychotic symptoms and even potentially fatal adverse reactions, such as cardiac arrhythmia. And yet, despite these dangers, many school systems actually work with government agencies to force parents to drug their children, threatening those who refuse with the prospect of having their children taken from the home unless they cooperate.

Bill Moyers and Chris Hedges on Capitalism's 'Sacrifice Zones'
swgwCDaTPqo
There are forgotten corners of this country where Americans are trapped in endless cycles of poverty, powerlessness, and despair as a direct result of capitalistic greed. Journalist Chris Hedges calls these places "sacrifice zones," and joins Bill this week on Moyers & Company to explore how areas like Camden, New Jersey; Immokalee, Florida; and parts of West Virginia suffer while the corporations that plundered them thrive.
"These are areas that have been destroyed for quarterly profit. We're talking about environmentally destroyed, communities destroyed, human beings destroyed, families destroyed," Hedges tells Bill. "It's the willingness on the part of people who seek personal enrichment to destroy other human beings...
And because the mechanisms of governance can no longer control them, there is nothing now within the formal mechanisms of power to stop them from creating essentially a corporate oligarchic state."
The broadcast includes images from Hedges' collaboration with comics artist and journalist Joe Sacco, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, which is an illustrated account of their travels through America's sacrifice zones. Kirkus Reviews calls it an "unabashedly polemic, angry manifesto that is certain to open eyes, intensify outrage and incite argument about corporate greed."
A columnist for Truthdig, Hedges also describes the difference between truth and news. "The really great reporters -- and I've seen them in all sorts of news organizations -- are management headaches because they care about truth at the expense of their own career," Hedges says.

Great thread. Finding meaning. Just so happens i've been thinking a lot about this lately. On the one hand, i know my "calling" in this life was to be a nurse. I bank on that as my reason to be here.
On the other hand, in 100 years will anyone even think about anything i've ever done or said. No. Realistically no. I didn't invent the wheel or the cell phone. I've done nothing in my life that will live on without me. All i can do is touch as many people as i can in a positive way, until my last breath.
This song has so much meaning to me and my life. It's an anthem of sorts. Very hokey i know, but the words are so true. This song has got me through some really hard times and i sing it LOUD and find meaning in these words.
Isn't life just living, existing, reaching out to others in need, to each other, trying to be a good friend, bringing a smile to someone's face, a laugh, a moment in time that we all know we are not alone here deep in our hearts. A journey of becoming the best we can be....just....climbing. In this world, in this life, it's really all we have...

Sometimes, it's just about being yourself.
No matter what you have heard,
what others tell you or what you expect someone else to believe.
This is a great documentary that teaches just that.
Sometimes, we are unsure of our surroundings, teachings,
spiritual light and sometimes we must fish through many rivers
in order to bring what we feel is true to the surface.
Enjoy! :)

Justice For All Radio Show With Host Attorney George Yates & Guest Jackson Mackenzie
Heads up: "Becoming the Narcissist's Nightmare:..."by Shahida Arabi
is also one of my favorites.
She writes about her experience and is inclusive of all sexual
and gender orientations. She has a kindle audio book, and
hardcopy on Amazon.
My research indicates that the survivors of abusive
relationships are creating the real life knowledge of relationship
with narcissists, psychopaths and other personality disordered
people.
Often therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists may not be
knowledgeable unless they've experienced an abusive relationship
in their lives, and have then gone on to their own healing and
learning about these personality disorders from personal experience
and then the survivor literature.
That being said Hervey Clekey,MD wrote "The Mask of Sanity"now in
its fifth edition back in 1948. And the seminal work that is mentioned
in this interview, "Without Conscience"by Robert Hare, PhD, both
excellent, excellent books.
In seeking therapy for healing from an abusive relationship
with a narcissist, psychopath, you have a right to ensure that
the therapist is knowledgeable regarding these personality disorders.
this is a radio interview hence the commercials...but the interview
is a good one.No I am not conservative.
Jackson MacKenzie therapist was knowledgeable on this type of abuse.

From the Goulet Pens blog, and inspired by Medusa's new thread about fountain pens, paper...
it's all about expressing my thoughts, feelings, desires in writing...
my family loves receiving my letters and I love writing to each of them.
Greco
italics mine:
"The Goulet Pen
Simplicity- shutting off the computer and picking up a pen.
So I'm checking out Google Buzz trying to figure out how yet
another application is going to make my life easier. I have a
website, video blog, youtube channel, personal facebook, facebook
fanpage for my business, facebook page for my vlog, twitter
account, tweetdeck AND hootsuite (to manage my many update
channels), and multiple emails, which just increased when I
signed up for gmail to create my Google buzz account.
I'm just thinking how ridiculous it all is that I now am trying
to learn ANOTHER social media program to manage the multiple
programs that I use to manage my multiple social media outlets!!
And people wonder why I like writing with pens!!! They're just so
damn simple, unlike life online. On top of all that, I'm trying to now
figure out the best way to backup my personal and vlog video
footage...looking at a multi-drive RAID NAS, which apparently
DOESN'T work with Time Machine....and my Macbook doesn't
have eSata or Firewire so I need gigabit ethernet, which will
require a switch so I can share both computers since I still have
a PC desktop that I have to use but only for my printer which I
just refilled the black ink cartridge AGAIN, but it's not recognizing
it because Lexmark is the devil and programs their cartridges to
fail unless you pay for them with your firstborn child, and since I
just switched Quickbooks to my Mac and I'm no longer using my
desktop for anything but printing....and even though I'll have to
drop $400, I can't use the NAS for intermittent updates unless
I figure out some other program that will do it besides Time Machine
which will cost more money if it even works, and if I transfer large
amounts of data like video then I'll have to plug in directly to the NAS
to get a faster transfer speed..........
:headsmack: :crybaby: :unsure: :blink: :gaah: :hmm1: :bonk: :bawl: :huh: :( :mad: :wacko:
And people wonder why I think pens, paper, and ink are so simple?
Bottom line here people is that there comes a point when you can
overcomplicate simplicity. People ask me all the time how I'm able to
run an entire business selling nothing but pens, ink, and paper, which
is so passe to most people. But in an age where you have devices
like the iPhone with tens of thousands of applications that are all
designed to make life simpler or more convenient, we become
overwhelmed by all of the 'simplicity' being programmed for our
ever increasing number of electronic devices.
But writing is constant. Since cavepeople wrote in the sand with
sticks, the fundamentals of the art of writing has never changed.
You are still holding something in your hand and making squiggly
lines to get a feeling or idea across from yourself to another person.
When I write a letter to someone, I care about who they are, what
their name is, and what their world is all about. In the online world
there's just something lost in the translation that no number of
emoticons can fill. As we become more integrated online and more
detached from the physical world, the art of manuscript and
the physical correspondence of letters will become ever
more meaningful."

The Canary Effect
"The grim legacy of America's treatment of its native peoples is explored in detail in this documentary. Filmmakers Robin Davey and Yellow Thunder Woman take the perspective that if one is to define "genocide" as the a deliberate effort by a government to exterminate a people, then the United States is clearly guilty of the crime given their actions against America's indigenous population over the past 300 years. Davey and Thunder Woman back up their argument with footage detailing the economic marginalization of American Indians, the consistent violation of legal agreements reached with native tribes, the mismanagement and consistent neglect of Indian reservations, the brutalization of Native Americans as they were segregated onto flinty soil and forced to live under substandard conditions, and the refusal of the mass media to report stories of suicide and Columbine-style school shootings among reservation youth. The Canary Effect was screened in competition at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival."

"The film documents the trials and tribulations of these athletes as they run 135 miles through Death Valley in July and explores the motivations behind this seemingly masochistic contest.
A celebration of the perseverance of the human will beyond the limits of the human body."

Capitalism's 'Sacrifice Zones' - Bill Moyers & Chr
This video is 5 years old and continues to be more
than relevant. Greco
(July 20, 2012) There are forgotten corners of this
country where Americans are trapped in endless cycles of
poverty, powerlessness, and despair as a direct result
of capitalistic greed. Journalist Chris Hedges calls these
places "sacrifice zones," and joins Bill this week on
Moyers & Company to explore how areas like
Camden, New Jersey; Immokalee, Florida; and
parts of West Virginia suffer while the corporations
that plundered them thrive.
"These are areas that have been destroyed for
quarterly profit. We're talking about environmentally
destroyed, communities destroyed, human beings
destroyed, families destroyed," Hedges tells Bill.
"It's the willingness on the part of people who seek
personal enrichment to destroy other human beings...
And because the mechanisms of governance can no
longer control them, there is nothing now within the
formal mechanisms of power to stop them from creating
essentially a corporate oligarchic state."
The broadcast includes a visit with comics artist and
journalist Joe Sacco, who collaborated with Hedges on
Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, an
illustrated account of their travels through America's
sacrifice zones. Kirkus Reviews calls it an "unabashedly
polemic, angry manifesto that is certain to open
eyes, intensify outrage and incite argument about
corporate greed."
A columnist for Truthdig, Hedges also describes the
difference between truth and news. "The really great
reporters — and I've seen them in all sorts of news
organizations — are management headaches because
they care about truth at the expense of their own
career," Hedges says."

Sex trafficking | Linda Smith | TEDxPortland
Published on Jul 7, 2015
"No girl wakes up and looks in the mirror
and says I want to be a prostitute."
Linda Smith is a saint and with relentless determination, professionalism
and poise she has dedicated her life to the issue of sex trafficking.
She literally saves lives and seeks justice for those who can't defend

perception, language, laws and response in an effort to
stop this criminal offense.
Linda Smith is a leader in the global movement to end sex trafficking.
In 1998, while serving in Congress, Linda traveled to a notorious
brothel district in India where the hopeless faces of women and

the Shared Hope International organization. Linda is the
primary author of From Congress to the Brothel and
Renting Lacy, co-author of The National Report on
Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking, and instrumental in
creating the DEMAND Report. Linda has testified before

Intro video for Red Flags of a Narcissist Series
#1 Red flag begins on 3rd video
"The goal of this video series is to answer many common
questions about Narcissists, as well as to show what the
common red flags of a Narcissist (and other highly manipulative,
dangerous, and destructive people) are.
I'm hoping that by the end of this series you'll be able to
quickly spot one of these people sooner than later, and be
able to get them out of your life with a minimal amount of
hurt, heartache, chaos, and destruction.
The goal with this series is to slow a relationship down enough
when (not if) you see red flags surface so that you can gather
more information to determine if the red flag falls within the
realm of normal, understandable, (and acceptable to you)
behavior, or if it is in fact problematic and a sign for you to
get out of there..."

SAMELLA LEWIS : PIONEERING VISUAL ARTIST AND EDUCATOR
Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
Samella Lewis says, “My inspiration as an artist and
art historian comes from the need to bring greater
attention to the accomplishments of African American Artists.”
SAMELLA SANDERS LEWIS - The career of visionary
teacher, scholar and artist Samella Lewis spans some
fifty years and has taken her to many parts of the
world. As an art historian and scholar, her knowledge
is boundless and accessible. As an artist, Lewis remains
at the forefront of her field. As a collector, she has amassed
an impressive and diverse collection that includes
African American, Asian, Caribbean, Native American, South American
and African Arts. As a social and community activist, she will serve
as a reference for generations to come.
Her college education began in 1941 at Dillard University
in her native New Orleans, where she studied with her
mentor renowned artist Elizabeth Catlett. After two years
at Dillard, she transferred to Hampton Institute (University)
where she was a student of Viktor Lowenfeld, a Jewish refugee
from Austria who taught his students not to feel they had to
produce art to please anyone, but to produce it from the heart.
This is an attitude Lewis still maintains and imparts to others.
At The Ohio State University, Lewis received her Master of Arts degree
in 1947 and her Ph.D in fine arts and art history in 1951.
In 1952 she became chair of the fine arts department at
Florida A&M University. Her next stop was a teaching position
five years later at the State University of New York (Plattsburgh),
where she developed an interest in Chinese language and
Chinese art history. This soon led to a Fullbright Fellowship to
study Chinese language and art history in Taiwan.
On her return from Taiwan, Dr. Lewis was awarded a
New York state grant to study Chinese language and
art history at the Freer Gallery in Washington D.C.
with famed author and art historian Sherman Lee.
Following this she resumed her studies at
New York University and later at the University
of Southern California with a three year course
in Chinese language and history on a
National Defense and Education grant.
Currently Dr. Lewis is Professor Emerita of art history at Scripps College
of the Claremont Colleges. Scripps was instrumental in two of
Lewis' career milestones. The school provided space and assistance
in 1975 when she founded The International Review of African American
Art. The school also lent support to The Museum of African American Art
in 1976, of which Lewis was founder and director.
During the course of her career, Lewis has received numerous awards
and honors, including an appointment as a distinguished scholar at
the Getty Museum and the Samella Lewis Scholarship and Contemporary
Art Collection at Scripps College in Claremont, California.
About: BAILA (Black Artists in Los Angeles) Film Series is a
collaboration between Eric Minh Swenson and Lili Bernard.
The series celebrates the diversity found within the
Black visual arts community of Los Angeles, featuring the
voices of important artists and leaders therein.
Lili Bernard is a Cuban-born, Los Angeles-based artist
whose work explores the impact of trauma and the
unconquerable nature of the human spirit.

Feminist, mythology narrator and quasi-anthropologist

currently at the center stage of the Indian contemporary
art scene. Kher was born in London in 1969 and earned
a BFA at Newcastle Polytechnic before moving to India in
1993. She currently lives and works out of New Delhi.
Unique Indian sentiments and colors are abundant in her
art, which address topics of culture and tradition with a
refined contemporary sensibility.
The artist takes inspirations from India’s history and
philosophy, but also from more mundane daily moments.
With her original takes, the issues are transformed into
sublime art forms that defy classification. She kindles
new thought in viewers of India and across the
globe, inviting them into a mysterious, beautiful

Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian
In the 1960s and '70s, the notion of American Indian
art was turned on its head by artists who fought against
prejudice and popular clichés. At the forefront of this
revolution was Fritz Scholder (Luiseño, 1937-2005).
This video introduction to the eponymous exhibition
"Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian" was awarded the
2009 Gold Muse award by AAM for best video production
of the year.
Featuring 135 paintings, works on paper, and sculptures
drawn from major public and private collections, including
the color-saturated canvases for which the artist is
famous, "Indian/Not Indian" opened concurrently at
the National Museum of the American Indian in
Washington, D.C., and at NMAI's George Gustav Heye
Center in New York. The Washington exhibition surveyed
Scholder's forty-plus years as a working artist, with
particular emphasis on his groundbreaking and
controversial Indian paintings from the 1960s and 1970s.
The New York exhibition focused on the artist's works from
the 1980s and 1990s, when he stopped using overt Indian
imagery and explored mythical beings, the afterlife, and
the unknown.

Meet Jaune Quick-To-See Smith
"Jaune Quick-To-See Smith grew up on the
Flathead Reservation in Montana and
traveled around the Pacific Northwest and
California with her father, who was a horse trader.
Smith decided she wanted to be an artist after
watching a film on the French painter
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. She painted a
goatee on her face with axle grease and
borrowed a neighbor's beret so she could
be photographed posing as the famous artist.
In 1958, Smith enrolled at Olympic College in
Bremerton, Washington. She had to take many
breaks from college in order to earn money, however,
and didn't earn her degree until 1976.
She moved to Albuquerque, where she studied
at the University of New Mexico and founded
the Grey Canyon group of contemporary
Native American artists."

"Coloringthe wind

how do you separate a narcissist from a genuinely good romantic partner.
i think i could easily classify my partner as a narcissist.

A genuinely good partner would not make you feel like crap, devalue
you, play mind games, intimidate you and have you constantly
second guessing your thoughts, words, actions and intentions."

dreams: the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run
from Squaw Valley to Auburn. Here is my personal
account of that day and all the people that helped
me rally to the finish line. It wasn't the day I had
envisioned in my head in the days, weeks and

experience of a lifetime. Thank you to all that
helped encourage me along on that journey.

How true!! thanks for the post!
I do know one thing and that is when some toxic person spreads false info, it is because they see through the glass darkly and any false info they spread is more of a reflection on them. Moreover, they do incur really bad karma for doing so.
