No, I don't mean your chastity belt (google it), I mean your mouth. There is a certain power that comes from remaining silent and silence is certainly preferable to hasty words and those that aren't truly meant. Me I had Tuesday off work last week and took the time to catch up with two friends; good chaps, dependable, capable and who's company I enjoy; we had lunch, enjoying the discussions, catching up with the latest and generally just talking shit as we tend to do. One of them was telling me about his boss who isn't popular in the workplace because he's, hmm... how can I put this delicately, a fucken asshole, and how the fellow seems incapable of keeping his mouth shut even in respect of personal staffing matters which is not the done thing these days. A personal matter was divulged to several of the staff, one concerning a woman that worked there and it's blown up in his face; the boss is likely to be demoted at best and fired at worst ...

Mi hermosa madre cumplió años el 30 de agosto, para mí esta es una fecha muy significativa y especial, celebro su vida pues ella ha sido uno de los pilares fundamentales en mi desarrollo y formación, digno ejemplo de amor, paciencia y resiliencia. A través de mis acciones le hago saber lo valiosa que es. My beautiful mother's birthday was August 30, for me this is a very significant and special date, I celebrate her life because she has been one of the fundamental pillars in my development and formation, a worthy example of love, patience and resilience. Through my actions I let her know how valuable she is. El cumpleaños de mi mamá empezó de forma inesperada, desde las 5:00 am la ciudad donde vivimos quedó sin energía eléctrica, pensé que era una falla local, pues en otras ocasiones han suspendido el servicio para realizar mantenimiento. Al indagar un poco más me di cuenta que se trataba de un Apagón Nacional, muchos estados de Venezuela reportaron el mismo problema ...

Season 141 has finished and I've yet again reached Diamond II and was not far off Diamond I. I think I need one or two more cards to give me that push to get into Diamond I. Either a couple of Rebellion meta cards or a Dr Blight at least at level 3 which I don't have right now. This season I haven't made any meaningful changes to my deck although I do have my eye on a few key cards that I would like. As the time toward the rotation of Chaos Legion approaches though, it makes less and less sense to buy these cards and with new cards dropping, my focus is therefore changing. The last I checked, the unbinding of soulbound cards had burned more than 100m DEC, which was up from the 40m DEC I reported last season. I only bought 1 card from the shop and didn't bother to try and complete my deck for the remaining ones as the cost was too high. The DEC burning requirements are like making artifical price inflation on the true value of the cards and instead just stops many from buying them ...

Ahh September, one of my favourite months of the year! Interesting to note that this is now firmly a month in which I expect to be warm for the most part, I never used to think that way when I was younger! So a warm HPUD to you all. In honour of this one I opted for a 200 Hive Power Up, and in total in the month of August I added around 2K HP... Bringing me up to.... 115 760HP, maybe 120K by year's end ...

In the contemporary era, there is a prevailing ideology that human beings are all wise to decide what is good for them. In this perspective, religious teachings from holy scriptures are regarded as unnecessary as they do not align with the people’s self created values. Consequently, individuals and societies have all the authority to determine what should be prohibited or permitted based on their values and understanding. As a result of shift in ethical framework, human beings have become prone to adopt several kind of life styles that are neither healthy nor natural. Nevertheless, based on their limited knowledge and understanding people believe that they are contributing positively to ecological preservation and personal health. One such example is veganism which has gained popularity as a life style choice ...
