UNO Mavericks
Beautiful day today. One of my closest friends here in Omaha got her Master’s in Computer Science today. It’s her second Master’s Degree actually. Her first was less than 2 years ago ( I think 
)
She came to Omaha in 2008, got her Bachelor’s degree in Finance at the University of Omaha ( UNO ). She then started work in Hong Kong for 5 years, got burnt out and decided to come back to Omaha to further her studies. While doing her Master’s in Finance, she realized she’d be able to earn more money ( Can’t blame her, she’s Chinese after all. We love money more than anything!
) if she were to pursue a Computer Science Master’s degree. She is really into coding, that’s her passion.
Coincidentally, my son is pursuing the same course, albeit he just completed his freshman year. So far so good, he’s enjoying all the opportunities this great country is giving him.
Coming back to my friend, she worked hard to get where she is today. She doesn’t come from a rich family. She found ways to support herself all these years, taking out a loan back in Malaysia and worked during college days. She got to do her Master’s degrees for free by being a Graduate Assistant.
Her mom, younger brother and an Italian good friend ( he flew all the way from Italy! ) attended her graduation in December 2012. However, this time around, she had none of them by her side and she nearly didn’t make the walk today…
After much persuasion from her few friends ( moi included
) she changed her mind 
Another good Malaysian friend of ours brought her son along. He’s studying at UNO too. My son was supposed to join us but couldn’t make it the last minute because he wanted to spend more time with his girlfriend. His girlfriend who’s a year younger than him, just graduated this morning ( UNO had 2 sessions going on today ) and would be going to stay with her parents ( an hour’s drive ) throughout the summer before she comes back to Omaha in fall to do her residency. Therefore, they won’t be seeing each other during summer or maybe not at all, according to Art, if she finds someone better than my son!
My son’s girlfriend. She’s half Romanian-half Indian. And my son is half Indian-half Chinese!
I knew they were gonna butcher my friend’s last name! Lol but we are used to having our Chinese names butchered all the time but guess what? She and I find it hilarious and it doesn’t bother us a bit. Like I have always said, it takes a lot to offend me. Life has more things to be enjoyed than to worry about such trivial matters.
She already has a job offer from Mutual of Omaha and hopefully on her way to get a green card in the near future. I know her dream goals are to pursue a Ph.D and make lots of money so that her mom can lead a very comfortable life. Filial piety is very strong in this girl….that’s the thing I like about her. We don’t forget our parents or our loved ones who have sacrificed a lot for us. Even you have made it in life and have all the riches in the world, and you forget the people that have helped you to get there, then there’s nothing to be proud of your achievements…
I tell my son this all the time. He has to be thankful and grateful to Art. Without Art, my son would not be given all these opportunities.
Thanks for reading and hope you all have a great weekend ahead

WARNING: CONTENTS EXTREMELY HOT!
There are people in this world who lack common sense. Many of them don't read instructions before operating machinery or doing things deemed dangerous/careless by other members of society.
I recall a story about a woman who bought a motor-home, gets on the highway, turns on cruise control. She gets up from the driver's seat to go back and make a cup of coffee and the vehicle runs off the road crashing and injuring the woman.
Obviously, she assumed cruise control was auto-pilot. Lady, it's a motor-home and not a Boeing 747.
I'm sure vehicle manufacturers have added warnings on the control and increased the owner's handbook warning.
Sometimes, their stupidity actually pays off. Take the case of the 79 year old woman who was negligent and spilled hot McDonalds coffee on her lap while in her car causing 3rd degree burns that required skin grafting and 2 years of medical treatment. Stupidly McDonalds didn't want to pay her $20,000 medical expenses and settle. The woman's attorney sued and got her millions.
After... you guessed it, all the McDonalds coffee cups and lids now have explicit warnings.
It happened again to an 85 year old woman who placed the cup in the car's drink holder, drove to an appointment and parked. She claims the lid wasn't put on correctly and ALL of the coffee spilled on her when she started to drink it. I do hope McDonalds had better lawyers for that case.
So the next time you decide to watch that bag of microwave popcorn puff up while cooking, Take my advice and stand back. You're done when the popping is nearly stopped... Otherwise being too close the door and some spurious radiation leaks out it could be your eyeballs that will puff up.
While on the subject of microwave radiation, NEVER try to dry your pet inside a microwave oven. The results would be alarming.

Intro To Extinction Rebellion (XR)
XR began in the UK last Fall to save Humankind from extinction by 2030.
They claim Drastic Action is required to raise awareness of the dire nature of the situation.
My take on it?
Inevitable Near Term Human Extinction (INTHE) is locked in & has been for some time.
XR looks like a collective display of the 1st three of the five stages in Kubler-Ross's dying process -
1) Denial
2) Anger
3) Bargaining
That's my take
Y'all's results may vary.
If anyone's interested in aligning with the organization, disregard the dates given in the vid - they pertain to last year.
XR is planning an international event for October 7 of '19 - Search It.
It's a futile waste of time & energy IMO - like railing against gravitation or rearranging deck furniture on the Titanic.
But if it'll make anyone Feeeel like you're actually accomplishing something - go for it & knock y'all's selves out
The worst homeless problem in the world
It's amazing that the highest number of homeless people isn't in the first world but the third world, besides South America and Africa as the worst, India, Pakistan, Philippines and Indonesia has the highest numbers.
What surprises me is the fact that the richest country, like Switzerland has a considerable amount of homeless people.
Check the record posted and it's mind boggling.
We can donate, 41 billion to Ukraine with no contingencies and we can't get this problem eliminated.
But one of the major cause of this situation is because of the mental facilities that were shut down during the Reagan administration.
Note: If you criticize or expose the problems of any country you MUST check your own first otherwise you're being hypocritical.

Progress
I can remember the days when people who had telephones were a very exclusive set. Most ordinary folk wouldn’t have known how to go about having a telephone. Later, when the general population felt entitled to have a telephone if they wanted one badly enough, it was having two telephones that marked you out as being among the elite. No one owned their telephone; they could only rent it from the GPO (General Post Office).
In order to acquire a telephone within the foreseeable future, you had to have a damn good reason for wanting it. You had to be a doctor, or belong to some other profession that absolutely necessitated having one; everyone else went onto a waiting list. When your turn eventually came, however, you were granted the choice of having either an ivory or green one.
It was a serious offence to tamper with your telephone; punishable with a heavy fine, or even imprisonment. Once your phone had been installed, that is where it stayed. You couldn’t just plug it in wherever you wanted to, like you can today. Working class families who were brazen enough to apply for a telephone were often quite nervous about using it for anything other than the most justifiable of reasons, like a medical emergency, or their home being on fire.
It was Margaret Thatcher who changed everything; she took telephones away from the Post Office and let the free market have them. Now we can have a phone in every room and one in each pocket if we like, and we don’t have to ask for anyone’s permission. For those of us who grew up with how it used to be it felt like a very radical event when they freed up the telephone; a bit like the first time they let us see a pair of tits on the BBC.
