Basic Principles about the Nature of Human Beings
1. Each individual has a personality, assets, physical and emotional strengths, and
abilities gained from experience, some of which are identified and others unused.
2. Each individual has specific goals and long range objectives which are meaningful to
him.
3. All individuals, within themselves, have the desire to change and grow.
4. The opportunity to design one’s own learning situation provides additional motivation
to develop and change.
5. Group encouragement and reinforcement assists in individual exploration and change.
6. The present can be altered and the future directed without explanation of the negative
past.
7. Emotions may be affected by signs and symbols…they will respond to action.
8. Human behavior is strongly influenced by its present environment.
9. Meaningful education is a continuous process. It is, by and large, predicated on need
and desire and not order.
10. Peers learn best from peers…when new information and experiences result from the
relationship.
11. An individual learns success from those he selects as successful – the association is
essential.
12. An individual continues to develop by completing a desired activity and moving to a
new experience.
13. Each individual has a purpose within the universe – Identifying and pursuing this
purpose is a vital part of fulfillment.
14. Learning occurs when an individual recognizes, and accepts the differences between
his failure and another’s success and bases his next action on that information......
When we are talking about self-interest of particular human being from the social or societal point of view, we must not be confused by moral considerations or rely on moralistic approaches. Moral is only a part of social infrastructure....
Liberty without restraint will not
lead to private or public good....“We are so
presumptuous that we imagine we can separate our personal
interest from that of humanity in general, and malign the hu-
man race without implicating ourselves.”.....
In a
group, we will ally with others of like mind in a shameless way
to disadvantage or harm others. We will be inclined to use our
liberty to pursue “improprieties and excesses, for which
would blush in a private capacity..The desire for liberty to be well used
Without liberty, there is no initiative, and hence
no progress. Without law, there is no survival of the group..”...
“What we must never forget is that Nature
never ceases to govern; and that, if men wish to govern, they
must govern under Nature’s Laws, or they will be doomed to
failure.”
MAN IS FREE, BUT NOT APART FROM
OR ABOVE, SOCIETY
the pursuit of happi-
ness was dependent upon the virtue of knowing oneself and
being useful to others.....
Though it looks everything has a final destination but NO not ..
in my opinion Somewhere Somehow it Ends..Only for a Short time
Then it is reborn recycled or recreated YES i believe everything
lives breathing or no breathing... ... ...

Do we become immortal when our name and date of birth and death become engraved in a granite stone?


If you think about what stands the test of time.


Would you write your most important bit of wisdom on your stone for the future of humanity (provided there is a future of humanity)?

So...immortality is real then.

On the weekends I usually go into hobby obsession mode doing maintenance and charging batteries for model helicopter flying sessions the next morning. This usually means 3 to 4 hours sleep. I'm usually out the door after 7am and go with no food or drink until I return in the early afternoon... sunburned, starved and dehydrated.

Lunch is a normal meal and I then go into hibernation for 2 hours to make up for the sleep lost the previous night.

My flight gear is low-end 'affordable' to me. Not fancy, stable with few options. The last 2 models I bought had a new control system with more sophistication in the way of offering the pilot features to change the way the model reacts in the amount of agility and reaction speed.

A docile model can now be user adjusted for high performance with control setting changes. The bad part is documentation for this is sketchy. The manufacturer has several YouTube videos in a series for setup. Other pilots have posted videos explaining some of the mystery... however, not enough detail is available to my satisfaction. For example, there are 2 parameters to control drift. One for front/back and one for left/right. The numbers can be in a range of -250 to +250. Great... except no one can tell me if negative numbers pulls it to the left or right. Seriously... 2 calls to tech support for clarification and the technician says he doesn't have time to 'walk me through' a setup and to follow the videos.

Currently, I'm the only one at the field flying that brand/model of control system so there is no local support. There are a few companies who make controllers and the majority of better pilots use one called VBAR. Naturally, it's advised if I want to up my skills, to get with the VBAR crowd as there are a handful of pilots who can offer direct help.

Friday a friend and I went to a hobby shop 40 miles away that specializes in selling the VBAR radio gear used to control model helicopters. Saturday, 2 of the club members did some surgery on one of my machines by removing the existing controller and installing a VBAR. The radio is fully controllable via a touch screen and within a few minutes they were able to download a few apps via Wi-Fi to further enhances it's capabilities.

One of the guys who set up the new system did some initial test flights while asking how I preferred the setup, handing it over a few times for me to try the different settings and telling which direction I liked best.
It was a busy day at the field with some 9 pilots waiting to fly so neither of use did more than a few test flights. On Sunday, I got in a few flights being very cautious as it's characteristics were very different from the previous controllers I had experience with.

I got the phone call lunch was waiting and I packed my things to head home. After eating, I got online to check mail and read some news stories. The one article that caught my attention was about sleep deprivation. We know it's been linked to hypertension, obesity and diabetes. Now it's believed to be connected to dementia.

Not exactly what I wanted to hear as I was fading and needed to power-nap.



Most of my Sunday is gone and I've got to finish some shop drawings for the kitchen I ordered last week. Hopefully, I'll get to bed before 2am as Mondays are always hectic and I need to be alert.

Some of these are from one of my front yard driveway cameras the others were taken by hand.

Myth states red fox only come out at night, but of course they can come out whenever they feel like it. She isn't rabid I have both day and night photos of her for over a year. She comes out and wanders whenever the mood strikes her.


I have been watching this girl since she was just a fawn playing with her siblings. She found the camera long ago. She has posed like this on numerous occasions. Does she hear the ultrasonics and grow curious? I don't know.


One of these handsome men is probably her Dad. I believe I have seen her mom with both of them.



Me, going to check my mailbox last summer.


I snuck up on this girl *Grey Fox, (I have both types) when she wasn't paying attention.and started taking pictures. At the clicks of the camera she turned around and I got these images before she turned to look, freaked, and took off running for my woods.





I have a small fish pond I used to keep stocked with Koi. The fish would grow nicely and wintered over okay outside when the pond froze, but they kept disappearing. Somewhere around my third restock I grew curious and set up some motion detection cameras. The mystery was soon solved.




A close up of one of my thieves


Again myth tells us these Opossum are nocturnal only and forbidden to emerge in daylight. I have seen the Opossum have not been told this rule on several occasions. This one let me take his picture before waddling off back into my woods.


I have occasional cougar, red wolves and bear too, but they are more elusive and don't give much photo opportunity.

Then you would have to believe that the alignment of the planets and the stars have power/influence over human life and or behavior.

It is said we are entering into a new era. An era that is completely out of our hands and will be dictated by the universe and its alignments. It is said to be a sort of golden era on a celestial level...humans are to become Christ-like....I have heard it described. Secrets of one's thoughts will no longer exist, where people will be able to know what you are thinking.

If you do not believe in astrology, then perhaps you can explain how it has existed for 1000's of years. That's a lot of crazy people out there over a long period of time.


Speaking of crazy. I was at a major hardware store today and the worker lady said something I thought was interesting....I can tell later she was sort of embarrassed for saying it...because it really came out of nowhere. While we were behind the computer and she was showing me the list of materials available, she blurted out, "no wonder people are crazy these days." I forget what we were talking about...but it really did not fit with what we were talking about. Perhaps she meant I was crazy. lol

Maybe it is just around my area here. But there have been some weird things going on lately. For example, at the same store 2 days earlier, they only had two checkouts open and there were two lines of people in the store that went halfway through it...and it is a large store. I have never seen that before. My dad and I literally had to wait about 20 minutes to get checked out.

Just today, hearing sirens in town (and I live in a very tiny town) I learnt that there was another serious roll-over accident at the same corner...that accident being the second one there in the last week. Whereas, there has not been an accident there for as long as I can remember.

A couple of days back...I have known my neighbor since he moved in 2 years ago. He is always a happy go lucky type...always willing to help out...always seemingly happy. We were talking and he used the "F" word. I remember feeling a bit shocked by that...that is the first time I have heard him use it.

Dad used to look out the window and say that the last winter he lived. He made it and died in that April. Now I see another spring too. And I always say if I don't hit the ground running in March I am sunk. Like usual, it is half past April already. I busted back and got most of the flower beds raked. I hate oak trees!
Haven't gotten barnyard on them yet, nor mulch from my wood chip pile. I set the hens to raking the one terrace and then the next when first was raked. They do good work and do it for birdseed. Problem is attention span. They work a short bit and then off to somewhere else. So it takes them days to do an area. But, easy for them to get under stuff and then all I need do is gather the piles they make.
I drove down the road. See the woods has that pink blush. It is caused by the shells of buds. The next is the green blush and then it seems over night it is BAM! Green woods. I noticed the lilacs have leaves a quarter inch already. Daffodils are in bloom. Grass in the meadow is greening. Nature is in its usual rush to start and get on with it before winter.
I brought seed containers up. Should start some soon. Lettuce sounds right. So much work ahead. Set buckets ready to plant. Buy plants. But, this is the time of hold...raining and 50 today and half the week ahead. I remember digging out and not making it home til the next day in the blizzard that hit mid April in 73. Suckers!
I have kittens everywhere the moms have hid them. Hens are laying almost a dozen eggs a day. ENOUGH already! Here, have a dozen eggs. YOU need them!!!
Time to clean the wood shed and start to fill it again. Fields need to get tilled. Weeds killed. The farm dictates life. And nature.

My VCR/DVD player just took a crap.


I may have to open that baby up and see if there is a solution. The door on the dvd player will not open. There is a saying for that......dirty horror bait.

Freewill can be considered one's choices they want to make.

What happens when you don't have any choices or no resources to implement them?





Happy Wednesday all

I'm vaccinated and ready to travel again. I have been in the Lake Chapala area. Today I am in Guadalajara tomorrow I will be in Guanajuato. The cathedral de Guadalajara in the central part of the city is in the background. This a great part of the city to walk around in and there are good restaurants everywhere. Really good street stands for food too. Stuff is cheap here and the people are friendly. Life is good.
