Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not illegals
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison said this week that our country needs to start “calling a spade a spade”.
And that means his department will no longer be using the term ‘asylum seekers’ to refer to those who try and come to Australia by boat, fleeing persecution in their home countries.
Instead, these people will be called ‘illegals’.
Well, Minister Morrison, we think we’ll join you in this “calling a spade a spade” caper and say this:
You sir, are wrong.
As we all know too well, it is not illegal to seek asylum in Australia. Australia is a signatory to the UN Refugee Convention and that means refugees have a right to enter our country without authorisation for the purpose of seeking asylum.
Our country’s signature on that document means that behaviour that would normally be ‘illegal’ is permitted. Permitted as in legal. As in, okay by us. As in, within the bounds of the law. As in, not ‘illegal’ at all.
But Mr Morrison hasn’t just got it wrong legally, but also morally.

Vitamins
We usually think of the word vitamin in conjunction with good
health. They’re nutrients you body needs to function properly. But
some vitamins are more beneficial than others and work harder in
promoting good health.
Your heart is one of the most important organs in your body. You
want it to stay strong – especially considering that heart disease
is the number one killer in the United States. There are vitamins
that can specifically promote heart health.
Vitamin B6 – Vitamin B6 is a vitamin that your body needs in order
to produce hemoglobin, which is what carries the oxygen throughout
the blood to reach your body’s organs efficiently. Vitamin B6 can
help maintain a normal range of blood sugar levels, too.
Foods that are rich in Vitamin B6 are chicken breasts, oatmeal,
pork loin, ready to eat cereals and roast beef. Some vegetable
choices are Avocados, soybeans, lima beans and Garbanzo beans.
Bananas are another choice for vitamin B6 consumption.
Vitamin B12 – Vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis of the red
blood cells and the maintenance of the nervous system. Low vitamin
B12 levels can result in anemia and neuropathy. Neuropathy is the
degeneration of the nerve fibers, which can cause various forms of
nerve damage.
Vitamin B12 is necessary for proper blood flow and making sure each
organ (including the heart) receives what it needs. The heart can’t
pump blood efficiently without red blood cell production. Foods
rich in vitamin B12 are meat, dairy products and eggs. Lesser-known
items are soy products, seaweed and algae products.
Vitamin E – Vitamin E is a vitamin that protects your body’s cells
from free radicals, which is what contributes to certain types of
cancer. It’s also good for helping lower cholesterol so that blood
can flow freely to and from your heart.
Foods that are rich in vitamin E are almonds, sunflower nuts,
sunflower seeds, hazelnuts and peanut butter. Vegetables that are
high in vitamin E are spinach and broccoli. Fruit choices would be
kiwi and mango.
Recommended intake of vitamin E for both men and women is 15 mg. a
day. This is what’s needed for the development of a healthy heart.
Children should consume about 7mg. daily for 4 year olds and up and
6mg. for the toddlers that are 1-3 years old.
Eating a healthy diet and exercising can promote a healthier heart.
Sometimes, they aren’t quite enough to get your heart going.
Vitamins can help kick start it so that it can function longer and
you can live a longer healthier life.
Best wishes,
Joy

Katherine Mansfield
The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.
– Katherine Mansfield
born in Wellington, New Zealand, October 14, 1888
died: January 09, 1923
gender: female
website: http://www.katherinemansfield.com/
genre: Literature & Fiction, Short Stories
influences: Anton Chekhov
Kathleen Mansfield Murry was a prominent New Zealand modernist writer of short fiction who wrote under the pen name of Katherine Mansfield.
Katherine Mansfield is widely considered one of the best short story writers of her period. A number of her works, including “Miss Brill”, “Prelude”, “The Garden Party”, “The Doll’s House”, and later works such as “The Fly”, are frequently collected in short story anthologies. Mansfield also proved ahead of her time in her adoration of Russian playwright and short story writer Anton Chekhov, and incorporated some of his themes and techniques into her writing.
Katherine Mansfield was part of a “new dawn” in English literature with T S Elliot, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. She was associated with the brilliant group of writers who made the London of the period the centre of the literary world.
Nevertheless, Mansfield was a New Zealand writer – she could not have written as she did had she not gone to live in England and France, but she could not have done her best work if she had not had firm roots in her native land. She used her memories in her writing from the beginning, people, the places, even the colloquial speech of the country form the fabric of much of her best work.
Mnsfield’s stories were the first of significance in English to be written without a conventional plot. Supplanting the strictly structured plots of her predecessors in the genre (Edgar Allan Poe, Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells), Mansfield concentrated on one moment, a crisis or a turning point, rather than on a sequence of events. The plot is secondary to mood and characters. The stories are innovative in many other ways. They feature simple things – a doll’s house or a charwoman. Her imagery, frequently from nature, flowers, wind and colours, set the scene with which readers can identify easily.
Themes too are universal: human isolation, the questioning of traditional roles of men and women in society, the conflict between love and disillusionment, idealism and reality, beauty and ugliness, joy and suffering and the inevitabilty of these paradoxes. Oblique narration (influenced by Chekhov but certainly developed by Mansfield) includes the use of symbolism – the doll’s house lamp, the fly, the pear tree – hinting at the hidden layers of meaning. Suggestion and implication replace direct detail.

Teachings on Love
“Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth… This is the real message of love.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh, Teachings on Love
born in Thừa Thiên Huế , Viet Nam October 11, 1926
gender: male
website: http://www.plumvillage.org/
genre: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism, Zen
influences: Zen Buddhism, Maman S. Mahayana
Thích Nhất Hạnh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist who now lives in southwest France where he was in exile for many years.
Born Nguyễn Xuân Bảo, Thích Nhất Hạnh joined a Zen (Vietnamese: Thiền) monastery at the age of 16, and studied Buddhism as a novitiate. Upon his ordination as a monk in 1949, he assumed the Dharma name Thích Nhất Hạnh. Thích is an honorary family name used by all Vietnamese monks and nuns, meaning that they are part of the Shakya (Shakyamuni Buddha) clan.
He is often considered the most influential living figure in the lineage of Lâm Tế (Vietnamese Rinzai) Thiền, and perhaps also in Zen Buddhism as a whole.
His best-selling books include Happiness and Being Peace.

Ela –
This is just incredible. Thank you.
So far 25,000 of you have signed the petition asking Barry O’Farrell to fix the problem that has left me waiting six months for urgent stomach cancer surgery — and has left many others in the same position.
The Sydney Morning Herald have just published a story about what’s happening — including the huge amount of support coming in for the campaign. You can read the article online by clicking here — can you then share it with friends and family to help keep spreading the word?
Thanks again for all you’re doing.
It means so much to me and all our family.
Nicole.
