Land of The Whispering Pines
馃寘馃檹Good morning, everyone! I pray that you all be well, at peace, provided for, and be blessed馃檹 馃寘
It is still kind of dull out there, so I turned on my own sun in the living room and kitchen and put on the coffee, then I sat at the dining room table next to the sliding doors, looking out into my green space. I ate my cereal while I waited for the coffee to be done.
Well, folks, here on the Niagara Peninsula, it appears as if it's trying to get sunny out there now, so I went out in my green space to straighten a few things out disturbed after yesterday's wind. Nothing was missing; the artificial plants did not lose any fronds either, so everything was OK that way.
It was a little chilly out, but it wasn't anything a sweater couldn't handle, so it was normal for this time of year. I just wish it would continue that way. By the way, yesterday reached 71°F. A pocket of warm air with the cold air all around us made a perfect mixture for nasty winds. I thank The Great Spirit that high winds were all we got; the bad stuff stayed just south of us.
Today, I would like to make you, the reader, find a moment of silence to send a prayer or meditate for those who were struck by the storms in the central U.S. yesterday, for all the homeless and the misery and no FEMA. May the Great Spirit G-d expedite the well-deserved KARMA these heartless psychopathic buffoons and wannabe Fuhrer have brought on to the people.
It's not up to me to pass judgment; I leave that to the most excellent judge of them all, and I am pretty sure they will be dealt with perfect JUSTICE.
Not according to my judgment, But according to history, These wannabe gods all died MISERABLE ENDINS.
TODAY'S DISCUSSION:
REDEMPTION
- Google Search -
- DICTIONARY-
Redemption: the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil.
"God's plans for the redemption of his world"
saving/freeing from sin, vindication, absolution
the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment or clearing a debt.
"the peasants found the terms of redemption unattractive."
- Google Search -
TORAH:
In the Torah, redemption (Hebrew: g蓹示ull膩h) signifies deliverance from a situation, condition, or debt, encompassing financial, familial, and even spiritual aspects, with examples including the redemption of land, family members from servitude, and the "name" of a childless man.
How I See And Understand Redemption;
- 1 Realising you have wronged someone and done something to right it.
- 2 I also believe I can be redeemed even on my deathbed if I genuinely regret my wrongdoings and ask forgiveness.
My redemption prayer was when I had suffered sufficiently, and I have honestly and sincerely released whatever wrongdoings I have committed in my life through the pain, using the pain as a conduit for a sincere prayer for forgiveness for those wrongdoings and sending that prayer and intention out for the healing of others. And do something constructive to make amends for those you have wronged and serve others who are in need. I don't care what religion you are; the spirit speaks the same language and doesn't discriminate skin color if we speak the same language spiritually and through the scriptures; that's the way I see spirituality and redemption.

Ancient Historical Writing
Ancient scrolls or books, dating all the way back to Epistle to the Galatians 10th century BCE is not as ancient as compared to the Rigveda (Vedic chant) manuscript in Devanagari, a scripture of Hinduism, dated 1500–1000 BCEreligion.
And other Ancient historical writing encompasses the earliest forms of recorded human history, starting with the development of writing systems like cuneiform and hieroglyphs and continuing through the classical periods of Greece and Rome, with works like Herodotus' "Histories" and Thucydides' "The Peloponnesian War."
Now, unto the National News, I pray and wish you all a good day.

What's lost: Trump whacks tiny agency that works to make the nation's health care safer
Sue Sheridan's baby boy, Cal, suffered brain damage from undetected jaundice in 1995. Helen Haskell's 15-year-old son, Lewis, died after surgery in 2000 because weekend hospital staffers didn't realize he was in shock.
The episodes turned both women into advocates for patients and spurred research that made American health care safer.
On April 1, the Trump administration slashed the organization that supported that research — the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, or AHRQ — and fired roughly half of its remaining employees as part of a perplexing reorganization of the federal Health and Human Services Department.

Here's what could soon cost you a lot more because of Trump's massive tariffs
President Donald Trump on Wednesday launched a US trade war with every country via a barrage of tariffs that are set to go into effect almost immediately. American consumers and businesses stand to pay a hefty price for that battle.
For the first time since Trump's return to the Oval Office, it's not a question of what could get more expensive due to tariffs but rather a matter of when. And the short answer to what could get expensive is, well, everything.
Assuming Trump proceeds with the plans he laid out on Wednesday — and he has said there is no room for negotiation — only certain goods from Mexico and Canada have a shot at avoiding any tariffs. Otherwise, all countries' goods will be subject to a minimum 10% tariff, with rates going much higher for 60 countries the administration deems the "worst offenders" in terms of trade barriers.

A reprieve for snowbirds? Trump administration sued over traveler registration requirement
Plaintiffs argue requirement was 'issued in an improper and illegal way'
Immigration advocates are suing the Trump administration over its upcoming registration requirement for non-U.S. citizens staying longer than 29 days, offering a possible reprieve for Canadian snowbirds.
The U.S.-based American Immigration Council and partner organizations launched the suit this week to try to quash the registration rule. They claim the administration failed to seek public input on an ill-conceived directive affecting millions of people.
On Tuesday, the advocacy groups will ask the District Court for the District of Columbia to impose a preliminary injunction blocking the registration requirement before its April 11 rollout.

馃寘馃檹¡Buenos d铆as a todos! Rezo para que est茅n bien, en paz, bien provistos y bendecidos馃檹 馃寘
Todav铆a hace un poco de calor, as铆 que encend铆 mi propio sol en la sala y la cocina y prepar茅 el caf茅. Luego me sent茅 a la mesa del comedor junto a las puertas corredizas, mirando hacia mi espacio verde. Com铆 mi cereal mientras esperaba a que terminara el caf茅.
Bueno, amigos, aqu铆 en la pen铆nsula del Ni谩gara, parece que est谩 a punto de hacer sol, as铆 que sal铆 a mi espacio verde a arreglar algunas cosas que hab铆an quedado desordenadas por el viento de ayer. No faltaba nada; las plantas artificiales tampoco perdieron hojas, as铆 que todo estaba bien.
Hac铆a un poco de fr铆o, pero era algo que se pod铆a soportar con un su茅ter, as铆 que era normal para esta 茅poca del a帽o. Ojal谩 siguiera as铆. Por cierto, ayer llegamos a los 22 °C. Una bolsa de aire c谩lido, junto con el aire fr铆o que nos rodeaba, cre贸 la mezcla perfecta para vientos fuertes. Agradezco al Gran Esp铆ritu que solo haya vientos fuertes; lo malo se qued贸 justo al sur.
Hoy, me gustar铆a que el lector encuentre un momento de silencio para rezar o meditar por los afectados por las tormentas de ayer en el centro de Estados Unidos, por todas las personas sin hogar, la miseria y la ausencia de FEMA. Que el Gran Esp铆ritu Dios acelere el merecido KARMA que estos desalmados psic贸patas bufones y aspirantes a F眉hrer han tra铆do al pueblo.
No me corresponde juzgar; se lo dejo al juez m谩s excelente de todos, y estoy bastante seguro de que recibir谩n una justicia perfecta.
No seg煤n mi juicio, sino seg煤n la historia, estos aspirantes a dioses murieron con un final miserable.
DISCUSI脫N DE HOY:
REDENCI脫N
- B煤squeda de Google -
DICCIONARIO:
- 1 Redenci贸n: la acci贸n de salvar o ser salvado del pecado, el error o el mal.
- 2 "Los planes de Dios para la redenci贸n de su mundo"
Salvar/liberar del pecado, vindicaci贸n, absoluci贸 la acci贸n de recuperar o adquirir la posesi贸n de algo a cambio del pago o la liquidaci贸n de una deuda.
"Los campesinos encontraron poco atractivas las condiciones de la redenci贸n."
- B煤squeda de Google -
TOR脕:
En la Tor谩, la redenci贸n (hebreo: g蓹示ull膩h) significa liberaci贸n de una situaci贸n, condici贸n o deuda, abarcando aspectos financieros, familiares e incluso espirituales, con ejemplos como la redenci贸n de tierras, la liberaci贸n de familiares de la servidumbre y el "nombre" de un hombre sin hijos.
C贸mo Veo y Entiendo La Redenci贸n;
#1 Reconocer que has ofendido a alguien y hacer algo para enmendarlo.
Tambi茅n creo que puedo ser redimido incluso en mi lecho de muerte si me arrepiento sinceramente de mis malas acciones y pido perd贸n.
#2
Mi oraci贸n de redenci贸n fue cuando sufr铆 lo suficiente, y honesta y sinceramente liber茅 cualquier maldad que haya cometido en mi vida a trav茅s del dolor, usando el dolor como conducto para una oraci贸n sincera de perd贸n por esas malas acciones y enviando esa oraci贸n e intenci贸n por la sanaci贸n de otros. Y haz algo constructivo para enmendar el da帽o a quienes has ofendido y sirve a quienes lo necesitan. No importa tu religi贸n; el esp铆ritu habla el mismo idioma y no discrimina el color de piel si hablamos el mismo idioma espiritualmente y a trav茅s de las Escrituras; as铆 es como veo la espiritualidad y la redenci贸n.

Escritura Hist贸rica Antigua
Los pergaminos o libros antiguos, que datan de la Ep铆stola a los G谩latas (siglo X a. C.), no son tan antiguos como el manuscrito del Rigveda (canto v茅dico) en devanagari, una escritura del hinduismo, datada entre 1500 y 1000 a. C.
Otros escritos hist贸ricos antiguos abarcan las primeras formas de la historia humana registrada, comenzando con el desarrollo de sistemas de escritura como la escritura cuneiforme y los jerogl铆ficos, y continuando con los per铆odos cl谩sicos de Grecia y Roma, con obras como las "Historias" de Her贸doto y "La Guerra del Peloponeso" de Tuc铆dides.
Ahora, a las noticias nacionales, les deseo a todos un buen d铆a.

Lo que se perdi贸: Trump desmantela a una peque帽a agencia que trabaja para que la atenci贸n m茅dica del pa铆s sea m谩s segura.
El beb茅 de Sue Sheridan, Cal, sufri贸 da帽o cerebral por ictericia no detectada en 1995. El hijo de 15 a帽os de Helen Haskell, Lewis, muri贸 despu茅s de una cirug铆a en el a帽o 2000 porque el personal del hospital el fin de semana no se dio cuenta de que estaba en shock.

*Esto es lo que pronto podr铆a costarle mucho m谩s debido a los aranceles masivos de Trump*
El presidente Donald Trump lanz贸 el mi茅rcoles una guerra comercial con todos los pa铆ses mediante una serie de aranceles que entrar谩n en vigor casi de inmediato.
Los consumidores y las empresas estadounidenses pagar谩n un alto precio por esta batalla.
Por primera vez desde el regreso de Trump a la Oficina Oval, la pregunta no es qu茅 podr铆a encarecerse debido a los aranceles, sino cu谩ndo. Y la respuesta corta a qu茅 podr铆a encarecerse es, bueno, todo.
uponiendo que Trump siga adelante con los planes que present贸 el mi茅rcoles —y ha dicho que no hay margen de negociaci贸n—, solo ciertos productos de M茅xico y Canad谩 tienen la posibilidad de evitar los aranceles. De lo contrario, los productos de todos los pa铆ses estar谩n sujetos a un arancel m铆nimo del 10%, con tasas mucho m谩s altas para 60 pa铆ses que la administraci贸n considera los "m谩s infractores" en t茅rminos de barreras comerciales...

Comment Paula Koval:
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon and Happy Weekend to Everyone! Thanks for visiting!
First, I'll do something easy. Here's a short list of things guaranteed to cost Americans more due to the tariffs:
Laptops and tablets
China, Vietnam and Taiwan were the top three foreign suppliers of laptops and tablets to the US last year, shipping a total of $47.2 billion worth, according to federal trade data.
Almost all consumer electronics, including smartphones and computer monitors, are likely to see price increases.
Additionally, since the US relies heavily on Taiwan for semiconductors, US consumers are likely to see a price hike on laptops, cars, household appliances, medical devices, Wi-Fi routers and LED lightbulbs. And these products often don’t just require one or two chips — new cars contain thousands of them.
(Trump floated a separate 25% semiconductor tariff, but a fact sheet the White House put out on Wednesday said such tariffs won’t come on top of the reciprocal tariffs that were announced.)
Ed Brzytwa, vice president for international trade at the Consumer Technology Association, told CNN it will likely take three to four months for current retail inventories to dry up. At which point, consumers could start to see prices go up “just in time for the back-to-school shopping season and the holidays.”
Footwear
China and Vietnam shipped a combined $18.5 billion worth of shoes to the US last year. That’s nearly 70% of all shoes the US imported.
Toys
China and Vietnam were the top two sources of foreign toys sent to the US last year, shipping a total of $15 billion worth.
The Toy Association estimates that 77% of all toys sold in the US are manufactured in China alone. “It’s just not an industry that is built to be able to manage through a tariff of that magnitude,” Greg Ahearn, president and CEO of the trade group, told CNN, referring to the soon-to-be 54% tariff on Chinese goods.
American consumers, he said, likely won’t start seeing higher prices until late summer, when new products are typically rolled out ahead of the back-to-school period and shipped along with “staple” toys.
Because the profit margins on toys tend to be fairly slim, toy companies have little ability absorb much of the higher costs from tariffs, he said. All the more so with 54% tariffs.
Toys made in China that are sold in the US, he estimates, will cost consumers at least 30% more than they currently do.

Clothing
If you want a sense of just how much apparel the US imports, look no further than the tags on your clothing. If you’re seeing a lot of China and Vietnam printed, rest assured you’re not alone. Both shipped about $14 billion worth of apparel to the US last year, the top two sources of foreign-made clothes.
On top of which, other top sources of foreign apparel, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Cambodia, are also being hit with “reciprocal tariffs” ranging from 26% to 49%.
“The Trump tariffs will have a substantial impact on the fashion industry,” Stephanie Gauzens, a spokesperson for the US Fashion Industry Association, told CNN. Gauzens didn’t provide CNN with estimates on how much more Americans could stand to pay for clothing.
