The bushfire at Barmouth Spur is not yet under control. This fire, located about 20kms west of Ensay, has grown to approximately 3,400 hectares in size. Aircraft will continue to monitor fire activity and support firefighters who are working to strengthen control lines. Smoke will be visible from nearby communities and roads. Fire activity will increase with the warmer, windy weather over the next few days, peaking on Monday. Today we have lots of smoke, mostly coming from back burning e.g. Bushfire 14Km East Of Ensay Current status Not Yet Under Control Last updated Today at 11:09 AM Vehicles responding 27 vehicles responding Size 5780.00 Ha. The Barmouth Spur Fire presents a considerable threat to us here Ali
i consider your comment inconsistent with Buddha Dharma, the 20,000 year old Buddhist philosophy explains the nature of mind, our dulistic mind. I acknowledge your right to your expressed view quoted above, however i disagree with your comment i said anything about a "feeling of duality or yoyo effects"! Its your opinion that you have a right to however it does not in anyway related to the response i gave to your question. Please don't bother misquoting my explanation that you requested an opinion on and now appear to be grossly misrepresenting.
If we impute i am happy, I am happy, I am happy, then a feeling of happiness arises...if we impute I am extremely happy, over joyed, like in, I'm feeling ecstatically happy, you'll likely feel very very happy, full of excitement. However that is a temporary state of happiness, feelings of happiness might last for a few years but change is certain. At the very least death time approaches and all our ecstatically happy feelings will prove to be nothing but a figment of our imagination.
On the other hand equally so if we impute I am miserable, I am unhappy upon our thinking process then likewise miserable feelings flourish, unhappy thoughts bring ever more unhappy feelings etc etc.
Both extremely happy or unhappy thoughts give rise to our sufferings, both bound up in time.
The root cause of our sufferings is our self-cherishing, thinking of self happiness, which develops ever more unhappiness as our desires are actually suffering bound up in time...
So I am trying to say that we have a dualistic mind, that neither extreme happiness or extreme sadness lead to lasting happiness, never those paths bring lasting happiness. For as long as we pursue desire seeking evermore happiness or pain and suffering. We bind ourselves to a cycle of constant sufferings.
I’m told there is as much reality in our dreams as there is in our conscious wakening state. Nature of mind is clear light…
All our dealings with the relative world, all our up and down, being happy, unhappy, happy, unhappy, happy, unhappy, all these extreme feelings come from mistaken, dualistic perception, from holding ecstatic, happy objects and miserable, unhappy objects as concrete, self-existent, dualistic self-entities.
thank you Conrad good chuckle Dr Google says: What is the difference between a cinder block and concrete block? Cinder block is fabricated of- concrete and coal cinders. Concrete block is produced by steel, wood, and cement. A concrete block contains stone or sand which makes it heavier. Cinder blocks don't have any tensile strength to withstand pressure.
America can pass whatever laws its like, but other nations have no obligation to accept them.
I know some member on here can be little one-eyed, however America along with Britain had flooded China with opium and two wars were fought over that issue. Britain and America's attempt to control and fleece the whole of China be getting them hooked on drugs. Subsequent to the second biff-up (called I think the Boxer Rebellion ) the biff-up lead to an agreement that created a lease of Hong Kong and the Territories, so China could make trade with the white devils; that lease agreement expired and i understand an agreement offering a two government transition period was signed at midnight on June 30/July 1, 1997, at that time the crown colony of Hong Kong officially reverted to Chinese sovereignty, ending 156 years of British rule. After a formal handover ceremony on July 1, the colony became the Hong Kong special administrative region (HKSAR) of the People’s Republic of China.
The ceremony culminated a 13-year transition that had been initiated by the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong, signed by the heads of the two governments in December 1984. The agreement stipulated that under Chinese rule the HKSAR would enjoy a high degree of autonomy, except in matters of foreign relations and defense, and that the social and economic systems as well as the lifestyle in Hong Kong would remain unchanged for 50 years after 1997.
The People’s Republic of China in excising Chinese sovereignty has now decided in the first instance giving rise to the demonstrations it would extend its excuse for a legal system and was being imposed over the people in Hong Kong.
If China made laws that Americans should stop using toilet paper, instead they should wash there bums like Asians with their left hand. Do you really think the lunatic's in the White House would comply with the Chinese law? America needs to clean up its own act, as no other nation on the planet is subject to the excuse for a judicial system America has either. Your legal system is utterly flawed, it favors the rich over the poorer members of you community, and the judges are just arselickers who suck up to your stupid two party excuse for a democratic system, then exchange you thoughts with the way China or any other nations see's Trumps stupidity.
Chinese vice foreign minister Le Yucheng spoke to ambassador Branstad and urged the "US side to correct mistakes and change course."
Chinese foreign ministry in a statement said Yucheng told that US ambassador to "refrain from putting the bill into practice, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs, so as to avoid further damage to China-US relations and bilateral cooperation in important areas."
Pretty sure your right about the likely outcome, and currently President Putin is hindering any possibility of an early resolution because: Maoism is a form of communism developed by Mao Tse Tung. It is a doctrine to capture State power through a combination of armed insurgency, mass mobilization and strategic alliances.
A Hong Kong scholar alleges that at least 45 million people died unnecessary deaths during China's Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1962, including 2.5 million tortured or summarily killed
Pol Pot was fully backed by China he was another madman the leader of the revolutionary Khmer Rouge. Pol Pot oversaw the Cambodian genocide. Pol Pot was the political leader whose communist Khmer Rouge government led Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. During that time, an estimated 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians died of starvation, execution, disease or overwork. There Killing fields dot the countryside of Cambodia, with more than 20,000 mass grave sites containing more than 1.38 million bodies according to the Documentation Centre of Cambodia
The Uygurs like Tibetan peoples suffered an invasion by Chinese, who first invaded Tibet in 1952 then again in 1962/64. Tibet had not at any time ever been part of China. Genghis Khan who was the founder and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, ruled China and at the same time also ruled Tibet, Genghis Khan invaded Tibet which was (I think) was controlled by a religion known as Bon. Bon religion was the native religion in Tibet, dating back more than 3,800 years. The first Dalai Lama, Gedun Drupa, was born in 1391. He founded the Tashi Lhunpo monastery and wrote books on philosophy. Gedun Drupa 1391–1474 was considered posthumously to be the 1st Dalai Lama.
It is my understanding the first Dalai Lama was later named by the third Panchen Lama Gyalwa Ensapa Yeshe, Ensapa Lobsang Döndrup was a Tibetan Buddhist religious leader. He was posthumously recognised as the third Panchen Lama. Ensapa was known to have spent more than 20 years meditating in isolated caves near the Himalayan mountains. When he was a young boy Gyalwa Ensäpa received many visions of Buddha Shakyamuni. I was appointed as Director of Temple Gyalwa Ensapa at Killabakh in the State of NSW and I am saying in respect to Uygur and Tibetan peoples the Chinese are talking crap lying there teeth out neither the Uygur’s or Tibetans had previously been part of China. Bill Clinton authorised the world map to change that status of Tibet to be known as part of China when it never has been…China occupies the regions and also I believe shot down MH370…
Vegemite started as a war-time substitute for Marmite, Marmite is yeast extract
According to research in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, high doses of niacin (or vitamin B3), one of the main ingredients in Marmite, help boost the body's defences against staphylococcus bacteria
Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. It is similar to the British Marmite, but the two products are made by different companies.
Marmite has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1919. This is the only product sold as Marmite in Australasia and the Pacific, whereas elsewhere in the world the British version predominates.
In the late 19th century German scientist Justus von Liebig discovered that brewer's yeast could be concentrated, bottled, and eaten.
I voted for Atacama however doctor google includes another drier place e,g,
doctor google 1. The driest place on earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile.
doctor google 2. The driest place on Earth is in Antarctica in an area called the Dry Valleys, which have seen no rain for nearly 2 million years. There is absolutely no precipitation in this region and it makes up a 4800 square kilometer region of almost no water, ice or snow,
After a major 2016 operation i had/have issues that arose from 10 days of strong intervenes antibiotic that killed my digestive system. After googling the subject numinous times i stumbled upon Gut Leak and changed my diet hoping to protect my body from that. Apparently our blood is able to extract tiny bits of food through our stomach wall. When larger bits of food make it through our stomach-wall serious problems occur one issue apparently leaky gut facilitates is the translocation of bacteria and toxins to the pancreas. One person on here and another person i know have had there pancreas removed...not good...
I don't doubt alcohol does a good job of stuffing our stomach wall to, myself many years ago (20 years ago) i made a decision to stop drinking alcohol and stopped...
I had been placed on NZ Navy Rum list year and half before been posted to place called Saigon. We drank a lot, to sober up you only had to drive past the fish market, in weekends you jump on motorbikes head off out into Charlie Country (which is where we were) there was bar, bat-b-q and water skiing, we went water skiining on the Mekong. As far as i know Charlie never attacked it because he had a rest area for troops down the road...anyway that what i understood. 1967 Saigon main fish market, the other two taken out in the boondocks while water skiining photo of my American mate Master Sergeant Ron Levitt
Cause and effect: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction etc etc, thee shalt not kill..some believe cause and effect is certain. Karma like in killing other mother sentient beings is akin to killing your own past mothers, who gave birth to you, fed you and protected you countless times. because, because, because reasoning explaining cycle of birth and death, its causes !!
Having regard to that sought of thinking process, take a look at these Karmas !!
According to the Korean news agency Yonhap, officials in Yeoncheon County had killed 47,000 pigs in a bid to curb the spread of ASF and were preparing to bury the bodies on Sunday and Monday.
South Korea has culled more than 380,000 pigs since reporting its first-ever cases of ASF, which is believed to have spread across the border from the North.
Vietnam has suffered particularly badly, culling 5.7 million pigs since its first case in January this year. China, which has been fighting the disease since August 2018, says it has slaughtered 1.2 million animals and blames the outbreak in part for a historic slowdown in the country’s economic growth.
Hong Kong, China, America NATO, Russia, Israel wherever you look lots of karma's are being played out constantly, then think about other sentient beings, birds insects, animals, fish etc, consider the seeds of their tomorrows that they to a engaged in, and my CS mail box person sent mail asking question, question answered, then the first mail I received, and politely responded to somehow has promptly disappeared and so i using culling 5.7 million pigs since its first case in January this year for berrying my comment and raise my personal concerns about the level of karma's been played out in Hong Kong
India is the worlds cannabis capital. The production, sale and possession of any form of medicinal marijuana products are illegal in India.
Possession of cannabis in India for recreational use is also legal.
Cannabis in India has been used since as early as 2000 BCE. In Indian society, common terms for cannabis preparations include charas (resin), ganja, dum (flower), and bhang (seeds and leaves), it is used with Indian drinks, such as, bhang lassi and bhang thandai, made from bhang, being one of the most common legal usages in India.
About 7.2 million Indians would have consumed cannabis over the past year.
I once asked a policemen in Darjeeling (West Bengal) where the government Ganja shop was, down that way turn right....>>
America outlawed (yep your sumbags) the Hemp Trade that mainly produced Hemp Rope was made unlawful by America after Nylon was invented. You hang your heads in shame
one for the clown to get his head around: On Thursday, South Korea’s newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, reported that Trump wants Seoul to pay a whopping $4.7 billion to continue the US military presence in the nation, an enormous increase over current $870 million it pays annually.
“As US fiscal deficit approaches a trillion dollars, Trump is constantly reminded of the need to cut unnecessary spending and to demand allies to increase their contributions,” Luft said. “He will want to report to his voters that, unlike previous presidents who provided the world free services, he is standing up for the interests of the American taxpayer.” Luft notes that the outcome of negotiations with South Korea will set the tone for further talks with other US allies, including NATO, Japan and Saudi Arabia.
The US strategy of outbalancing China depends on US military cooperation with both with South Korea and Japan, two nations who have unresolved issues rooted in the Japanese era of colonialism, Gray said. If the US-South Korea alliance deteriorates, Washington’s influence in the region will likely suffer wider negative implications
US economy already teetered on the brink of collapse, after banking giant Lehman Brothers crashed in September 2008. The bank’s collapse sent the world’s economy into a tailspin, devastating markets around the globe. The aftermath of the collapse was so severe that countries in Central Europe sought billions in IMF loans to keep their markets afloat. In the US, the government implemented a $700-billion bailout to save the then-ailing financial sector and prevent a total collapse.
US: $23,008,409,564,495 debt as of November 2019
According to the most recent data from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the total notional amounts outstanding for contracts in the derivatives market is an estimated $542.4 trillion.
According to an article in the Financial Times last week “Germany’s federal and state governments have spent €70bn on bailing out banks since the financial crisis, according to an estimate by Gerhard Schick, head of lobby group Finance Watch.” The figure of €70bn is about 79 billion U.S. dollars. Why did the U.S. Fed throw $364 billion at one German bank when its country of origin has only reached in its pocket to the tune of $79 billion for all of its troubled banks? (Read on for the answer.)
I have previously evidenced in our forums irrefutable evidence of the facts in relation to the subject matter posted. If you used even half of your brain and did some research you will find America insisted on conclusion of WW2 that all international Trade Settlements were to be settled in New York in Gold. Even the most simplistic village idiot investigating international trade settlements would know that Ronald Regan canned the 1934 American N.W. O. when he announced another New World Order in 1984 replacing the American Order of 1934. Clown Regan crap, American N.W. O. 1984; the price of goods and services is to be governed by supply and demand and settled in US$ has been rejected by the world community.
Every aspect i posted is backed by credible evidence supporting facts had also been posted in our forums.
The problem you and the other rude insulting clowns, in my view arises from having an affliction of Like and Dislike, which is pretty much the same as not seeing the forest for the trees because you impute bad or good on the subject matter and that is a sickness followers of faith often suffer.
That would certainly sort the American Republican party, the biggest terrorist organization the planet has ever seen, try history and truth which clearly escapes theee
most certainly I am, George idiot Bush attacked Sunni Saddam Hussein of Iraq a member of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, being an unprovoked attack upon an country who had assisted America to contain Ayatollah Khomeini who had been in exile in France and dispatched America's friend the Shah of Iran.
What sought of person are you Conrad, ISL is directly linked to Mecca (in case that escapes you Mecca is in Saudi Arabia) Mecca the foundation stones of Sunni Islam tribes which opposed the stupid American war against Sunni Muslims. It was Saudi's and Egyptians who flew planes into the New York Towers, Sunni's. Conrad. I strongly urge you to truthfully investigate and stop believing the lying crap the idiot Christians feed you. The coalition of the willing and all that arose from the unprovoked attack murdered in excess of a million innocent men, women and children and people like you give comfort to there lies.. I am most certainly serious Conrad. and suggest you try and be at least try and be honest once in a while
This a part (very small part) copy and paste explanation by HHDL The ultimate nature of mind is essentially pure, that pristine nature is technically called "clear light."
The various afflictive emotions such as desire, hatred and jealousy are products of conditioning. They are not intrinsic qualities of the mind because the mind can be cleansed of them by applying appropriate meditative techniques and practices, the individual is able to fully experience this clear light nature of mind free from the influence and conditioning of the afflictive states..
Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said American troops, (he said), will “respond with overwhelming military force against any group who threatens the safety of our forces there.” When asked whether the US would potentially respond with force against Russian or Syrian forces, Esper simply responded “yes.”
might get very interesting, also Pakistan and India might get interesting to
I agree the Belt and Road Initiative will likely supersede the current shambles. The EU i dunno. Africa 4.1.1 Djibouti 4.1.2 Ethiopia 4.1.3 Kenya 4.1.4 Nigeria 4.1.5 Sudan Europe 4.2.1 Greece 4.2.2 Italy 4.2.3 Luxembourg 4.2.4 Switzerland Caucasus 4.3.1 Armenia 4.3.2 Georgia Russia and EEU Asia 4.5.1 Central Asia 4.5.2 Hong Kong 4.5.3 Indonesia 4.5.4 Laos 4.5.5 Malaysia 4.5.6 Pakistan 4.5.7 Sri Lanka 4.5.8 Thailand North and South America 4.6.1 Argentina 4.6.2 Jamaica
Twenty-seven out of 28 EU ambassadors in Beijing, with Hungary the only exception, are reported to have signed a document denouncing the global infrastructure project for hampering free trade and giving an advantage to Chinese companies.
China's multi billion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (the "BRI") was first launched in 2013 in a bid to connect Asia, Africa and Europe through a series of overland corridors and maritime shipping lanes.
Since its introduction, the BRI has made significant progress with 125 countries and 29 international organizations having signed 173 co-operation instruments under the initiative’s framework.2 Between 2013 and 2018, these instruments have led to more than USD 90 billion of Chinese investment.3
Hungary was the first European country to sign a BRI-related memorandum of understanding with China in 2015. By 2019, a further 22 European countries had signed BRI co-operation instruments. Ties between China and Europe continue to grow with the latest European countries to sign BRI co-operation instruments being Luxembourg and Italy in March 2019.
Australia is a member; indeed China is Australia's biggest trading partner. America I think will manage the Trillion 24 US$ debit, but the derivatives written in US$ with that one
