One person wrote to the editor of a daily thus: "I have gone to temples for 30 years now, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 Satsangs, but for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time. The elders and Image
priests are wasting their time by preaching to us about the presence of God."
This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column. Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
"I have been married for 30 years now.
In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I

Namelijk de richtlijn palliatieve zorg voor kinderen die op dit moment herzien wordt en een presentatie voorbereiden maar vooral veel #COVID19 zaken. /2
Zoals jullie wellicht weten is de gehandicaptenzorg flink getroffen door #COVID19. De academische werkplaats ‘Sterker op eigen benen’ van @radboudumc doet daar interessant onderzoek naar./3

Bringing #Ireland's History to Life. 🇮🇪🎶
My colourised and restored c1900 photo of Coney Island, Ardglass, Co. #Down with Isabella Tower in the background.
Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison wrote the song "Coney Island" and included on his 1989 album, Avalon Sunset.
In my self-funded history project, I am endeavouring to faithfully restore these historical photos by removing blemishes such as tears, scratches, and any other signs of photographic ageing for future generations to enjoy.

"I want to warn the world about an unprecedented danger that’s threatening the very survival of open societies.

…I’ll focus on #China, where President #XiJinping wants a one-party state to reign supreme."

"Xi is trying to consolidate all the available info about a person into a centralized database to create a 'social credit system'..people will be evaluated by algorithms that will determine whether they pose a threat to the 1-party state. People will then be treated accordingly."
"#China is not the only #authoritarian regime in the world, but it is undoubtedly the #wealthiest, #strongest & most developed in machine learning & #AI.

This makes #Xi the #most #dangerous #opponent of those who believe in the concept of #OpenSociety."

Born & raised in #Fanar #Lebanon, a tiny country in the middle east with a lot to offer. I always had a positive outlook on life maybe because of the culture or values🤷‍♀️.
If you don't know #Lebanon or a #lebanese then you should start mingling 🤣

I grew up surrounded by a loving, joking & tough type of family that always support each other even amidst fighting. You can imaging being 4 kids in different age groups can cause a lot of fights growing up 😂 #siblingsfight #family #VoicesIWS
@IWS_Network
I have my issues🤷‍♀️! I always wanted to prove myself & make my family proud(2nd child). A pressure that was just in my head; they were always proud of us. I wanted to grow up to be a doctor or an army officer like my dad. Let's just say I changed my mind! #VoicesIWS @IWS_Network
