RE: Emotionally Intelligent.

Nothing to be sorry for Tom. Look at it this way.......Everyone is intelligent to a certain degree, some more than others. The "emotional" part is about how people handle their intelligence.....when to disagree with someone; how to disagree with someone; to what extent is it acceptable to disagree with someone; when to hold back and let it go. It takes intelligence to know how to show disappointment with what someone says or does so that you don't offend them. If people can make a positive difference (even if it's a disagreement) in what they say then they have used emotional intelligence to express their opinion.

I watched that a couple days ago. At the end she says "I'm sorry for what I made you do" which confused me cause it appeared to me that it was her sisters idea to do it. I don't want to spoil what I'm talking about in case somebody else wants to watch it.

Thanks for your post Gal.

RE: Nourish The Soul

‘New Day's Lyric’ by Amanda Gorman for 2022

May this be the day

We come together.

Mourning, we come to mend,

Withered, we come to weather,

Torn, we come to tend,

Battered, we come to better.

Tethered by this year of yearning,

We are learning

That though we weren't ready for this,

We have been readied by it.

Steadily we vow that no matter

How we are weighed down,

We must always pave a way forward.

This hope is our door, our portal.

Even if we never get back to normal,

Someday we can venture beyond it,

To leave the known and take the first steps.

So let us not return to what was normal,

But reach toward what is next.

What was cursed, we will cure.

What was plagued, we will prove pure.

Where we tend to argue, we will try to agree,

Those fortunes we forswore, now the future we foresee,

Where we weren't aware, we're now awake;

Those moments we missed

Are now these moments we make,

The moments we meet,

And our hearts, once all together beaten,

Now all together beat.

Come, look up with kindness yet,

For even solace can be sourced from sorrow.

We remember, not just for the sake of yesterday,

But to take on tomorrow.

We heed this old spirit,

In a new day's lyric,

In our hearts, we hear it:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne.

Be bold, sang Time this year,

Be bold, sang Time,

For when you honor yesterday,

Tomorrow ye will find.

Know what we've fought

Need not be forgot nor for none.

It defines us, binds us as one,

Come over, join this day just begun.

For wherever we come together,

We will forever overcome.

End

What Is The Last Movie You Saw In 2021 On TV Or The Theatre

The last movie I watched in 2021 was on Netflix and is named "Don't Look Up". At first I didn't like it because it is a dark comedy and I thought it was a spoof on everything going on in the world. Halfway through it the message resonated with me and I started to pay attention. It isn't until the end that you realize this is serious business and think about how it will affect you.

Grow up and learn to read. I didn't say I felt sorry for the monarchy. I don't care about the monarchy.

My post was about a mother seeing her son go down the wrong path.

Andrew should be punished IMO but his mother.....not the queen......his mother will feel the heartbreak and I feel bad for her, not the queen.

Got it?

RE: I Hope

Cancer cell is only 20% smaller. He will continue with chemotherapy and immunotherapy with a different drug. These treatments cause him to sleep and spend a lot of time in bed at home. Obviously he and my daughter as well as I are very disappointed in the outcome of these tests.

But there is still hope ...

RE: Your specialised subject .

Thank you Blathin You know your tigers and motor bikes. I found this after I read your post:

"Despite weighing hundreds of kilograms -- up to 500 pounds -- tigers can reach top speeds of 49 to 65 kilometers per hour (35 to 40 miles per hour). They can sustain this speed only over short distances. In addition, they can leap 9 to 10 meters (30 to 33 feet) which makes their leap size just short of a mountain lion's."

So no lunch for the tiger

RE: I Hope

After having many chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments, tomorrow doctors will perform many scans on my son in law's body to see if there are no more cells of cancer.

I hope that the scans will show that the cancer is gone.

RE: Your specialised subject .

I had intended to ask FadedBlueJeans a question since he seems to be an expert with motorcycles but I haven't seen him in awhile. Not knowing if he is coming back to CS I will add my specialized question to your game:

Is an adult tiger fast enough to outrun a motorcycle....would the tiger catch up and have lunch?
Would the motorcycle driver be faster than the tiger and leave the beautiful animal in his dust?

Officer Kim Potter Made A Mistake.......A Very Bad Mistake

IMO she should serve some prison time because she was found guilty of killing someone. It was not intentional and it was not murder. It was an accident. The guy was resisting arrest because he knew there was a warrant out for him. The hanging air freshener, resisting arrest, kicking a police officer all serve as counts against him.

Even though he knew he was being pulled over for the air freshener and that he had a warrant out on him he should have been smart and put his hands behind his back as police officers requested. He would be alive today if he had obliged the officers.

I feel some empathy for Officer Potter because she gave her community 26 years of service and might have been thinking of retiring. I don't understand why she panicked in the situation. It surely wasn't her first attempt to arrest someone. Now she will serve some prison time, lose her pension, never have any kind of job in law enforcement again and never be able to have a firearm even for her own protection

Officer Kim Potter Made A Mistake.......A Very Bad Mistake

Do you think she should get a 15 year sentence to prison for making a mistake?

Officer Kim Potter Made A Mistake.......A Very Bad Mistake

UPDATE:

The shooting occurred during the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd just miles from the courthouse. Wright's death sparked days of protests and looting in Brooklyn Center and inflamed nationwide tensions over police violence in the U.S.

Like Chauvin, Potter was sent directly to state prison to await sentencing after the jury reached a verdict following 72 hours of deliberations. Hennepin County District Court Judge Regina Chu denied a request from Potter's defense attorney to release her on bail until sentencing, which is set for Feb. 18, 2022.

The first-degree manslaughter charge carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and/or a $30,000 fine. The second-degree charge has a maximum sentence of 10 years and/or a $20,000 fine.

Potter will only be sentenced on the most serious charge. For someone with no criminal history, the presumptive sentence for first-degree manslaughter in Minnesota is about six to eight-and-a-half years, according to state guidelines.

In Minnesota, it's presumed that a defendant with good behavior will serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison and one-third on supervised release, known as parole.

Was former officer Kim Potter reckless? What jurors needed to decide in Daunte Wright's death.

What will the judge consider in Kim Potter's sentencing?
To determine Potter's sentence, Chu will likely consider arguments made by both sides, victim impact statements and whether Potter makes a statement that takes responsibility or shows remorse at her sentencing hearing.

Prosecutors said Potter should face harsher sentencing because of two aggravating factors: she abused her position of authority and "caused a greater than normal danger" to the safety of other people nearby, including the passenger in Wright's vehicle, two officers on the scene and civilians on the busy public street.

Meanwhile, Potter's attorney Paul Engh said he will seek a "dispositional departure" from sentencing guidelines, meaning he'll ask the judge to stay the sentence and allow Potter to be put on probation, home monitoring or serve her sentence in a local jail instead of prison.

Police rarely prosecuted for on-duty shootings
Law enforcement officers fatally shoot about 1,000 people a year, but arrests and convictions are rare in fatal police shootings partly because officers are able to use lethal force to defend themselves or others.

"Almost all" police shootings are determined to be justified, according to Philip Stinson, a Bowling Green State University criminology professor who tracks police misconduct.

Police have fatally shot more than 6,300 people since 2015, according to a Washington Post’s database created after the 2014 death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. In that time, Stinson found 91 officers were arrested on murder or manslaughter charges stemming from an on-duty shooting.

Since 2005, seven officers have been convicted of murder, 37 were convicted of lesser offenses and 53 were not convicted. Meanwhile, 45 more criminal cases are ongoing.
