 ("We won't have final numbers for election day until tomorrow morning, only results per contest which will be posted to our website www.voteulster.com," said Dittus in a written message.)

Words of WISDOM and RELEVANCE

(Including some from one of the Pablos)


“Don't ever think that everything went right. It didn't.”―Septima Clark


“Trust is choosing to make something important to you, vulnerable to the actions of someone else. Distrust is what I have shared with you that is important to me is not safe with you.”―Charles Feltman, The Thin Book of Trust



“Your children are not your children. They are sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but not seek to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.”―Kahlil Gibran


“If It Doesn't Open... It's Not Your Door You cannot open a door meant for someone else, it's just not possible. But you are meant to open your own doors. The best thing you can do as the loved one of someone with an addiction is to stop trying to open the addict's door, and to instead focus on your own life.”―Candace Plattor, Registered Clinical Counselor


“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”  (Voltaire)François-Marie Arouet



“Can’t one man make a success of himself. Ain’t seen him yet.”―John Adedayo Bamidele Adegboyega

“My dad always tells me one thing: ‘Don’t overpay with respect.’ You can pay respect, but sometimes you’ll be overpaying and selling yourself short.”―John Adedayo Bamidele Adegboyega

“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”―George Orwell

“When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”―Sinclair Lewis

“Everybody is the hero in their own story”―Chadwick Boseman

“Justice is not a qualitative question.”―Dr. Kwame Ture

“I believe that we can craft a brighter reality.”―Riley Johndonnell

“WAKANDA FOREVER!”―Err'body


“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.”―Pablo Picasso


“Don't be foolish.”―Michael J. Brooks

FDA (Food and Drug Administration)

WARNING!

METHANOL IN MANY HAND-SANITIZER BRANDS


[7-2-2020] FDA is warning consumers and health care providers that the agency has seen a sharp increase in hand sanitizer products that are labeled to contain ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) but that have tested positive for methanol contamination. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a substance that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested and can be life-threatening when ingested... .

Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol and are experiencing symptoms should seek immediate treatment for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning. Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death. Although all persons using these products on their hands are at risk for methanol poisoning, young children who accidently [sic] ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute, are most at risk.


For all applicable downloads and forms, or to search for your brand of hand-sanitizer, visit: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-updates-hand-sanitizers-consumers-should-not-use#products

REPLENISH.
YO.
SPOOOOOOOONZ!




"The most unfathomable schools and sages have never attained to the gravity which dwells in the eyes of a baby of three months old. It is the gravity of astonishment at the universe, and astonishment at the universe is not mysticism, but a transcendent common sense. The fascination of children lies in this: that with each of them all things are remade, and the universe is put again upon its trial. As we walk the streets and see below us those delightful bulbous heads, three times too big for the body, which mark these human mushrooms, we ought always to remember that within every one of these heads there is a new universe, as new as it was on the seventh day of creation. In each of those orbs there is a new system of stars, new grass, new cities, a new sea."—G. K. Chesterton

"This Free Black Mental Health App Was Created Two Years Ago. It's Especially Relevant Right Now for Our Community." Jessica Moulite, Theroot.com. [3:46] Jasmin Pierre isn’t shy when it comes to discussing her mental health journey with others. “I’m really not afraid to put it all out there. Like, people know that I’ve been suicidal. People know that I’ve been in a mental institution,” said the 31-year-old mental health advocate and app creator. By being so open about her story, Pierre hopes to normalize these conversations among Black people in order to remove the stigma associated with mental health challenges. That’s one of the reasons why the New Orleans native created “The Safe Place,” a mental health app created with Black folks and cultural competency in mind. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the country’s continued racial trauma and unrest, Jasmin has witnessed an increase in downloads.

  1. [NEW] "Amber's Halloween Song: "Monsters Everywhere!" | The Amber Ruffin Show." Peacock, Youtube. [4:19] The Amber Ruffin Show. New videos every week. https://www.peacocktv.com/the-amber-r...  This year, because of the coronavirus pandemic, most people won’t be trick-or-treating, which is gonna make it hard to get into the Halloween spirit. But Amber and Tarik love Halloween, so they would love to sing you a fun little song about all their favorite scary monsters, to get you in the mood!  Each week THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW will showcase Amber’s signature smart and silly take on the week's news. No matter what's happening in the world, Amber will respond to it with a charming mix of seriousness, nonsense, and evening gowns. THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW is a topical late-night show with just the good parts – the comedy. Amber Ruffin, Jenny Hagel, Seth Meyers, and Mike Shoemaker serve as executive producers. The series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Sethmaker Shoemeyers Productions. October 30, 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtzctqAeEXw
  2. "The Hobbit - Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold (Extended Cover) - Clamavi De Profundis." Clamavi De Profundis, Youtube.  [8:06] ~~We added English and Spanish subtitles in the closed captions for those who want to sing along.~~  We do not own anything related to J.R.R. Tolkien's, "The Hobbit" or Peter Jackson's films, apart from this particular arrangement and recording.  This is a cover of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold."  Melody written by David Donaldson, David Long, Steve Roche and Janet Roddick found in Howard Shore's movie soundtrack.  We hope you really enjoy this.  It took a while to edit. Just trying to make something entertaining.  My brother arranged this piece and we thought it would be neat to sing more of the verses of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Misty Mountains" poem than they did in the movie.    It is an amazing story!  Three of my brothers and my dad sang.  I recorded and mixed it.  There are a total of 10 singing tracks.  All Video Copyright 2012 New Line Cinema  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) (as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures) WingNut Films  Also, please no bad language in the comments...I want this to be family friendly:) May 2,2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ymgFyzbDo
  3. "The Song of Beren and Lúthien - Clamavi De Profundis." Clamavi De Profundis, Youtube. [10:41] We greatly appreciate our viewers and thank you all for your support of our music!    Here is our version of J.R.R. Tolkien's poem, "The Song of Beren and Lúthien!"  We hope you enjoy it:)  A note on our interpretation:   This piece brought us to a new place artistically, as we have never before told a love story.  In our opinion, J.R.R. Tolkien’s story of Beren and Luthien is one of the truest and purest tales of love ever told.  It was our honor to carefully craft this work to give our interpretation of the story and the beautiful poetry as recited by Aragorn in the Fellowship of the Ring.    This piece combines the melodies written by one of us long ago with new melodies and a new setting by another of us.  Thus, a theme of old and new was born, as there are multiple melodies from the past combined with those never before heard in this piece.    Word painting is a favorite compositional method of ours, so many of the melodic and expressive decisions made are based on that approach.  For example, when the words “music welling underground” are heard, the bass instruments come to life on the word “underground”.  There are many similar examples throughout the song.  See if you can hear them!  Finally, it is worth noting our decision to draw attention to the presence of Luthien in this song.  This song may admittedly be more from the approach of Beren than from Luthien’s, for whenever Luthien is present, the song sounds more alive, complete, hopeful.  When she is absent, the soundscape is colder, barer and starker.    We hope you enjoy this piece!  Thanks so much for your support of our music!    We are unable to get permission to sell this song so we are posting it here free for your enjoyment.  If you want a copy of the mp3, we are offering it to those who support us on Patreon!  Unfortunately there was a technical difficulty with our original upload, so we are re-posting our song in a simplified format.  My brothers composed and arranged the piece.  My family sang it.   Please no bad language in the comments.  We want this to be family friendly:) October 24, 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11_aneHVaz8

With an array of sketches as wide-reaching as they are cringingly accurate, the pair has created a bevy of classic characters, including Wendell, the players of the East/West Bowl and President Obama's Anger Translator.

  5. "The Best of Amber Ruffin - Drunk History." Comedy Central, Youtube. [23:14] Amber Ruffin tells Derek about the Little Rock Nine’s fight to integrate their Arkansas school, how Claudette Colvin inspired Rosa Parks, and the Civil War’s “Angel of the Battlefield” Clara Barton. (Contains strong language.)  About Drunk History:  Based on the popular web series, Drunk History is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent. August 24, 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA7hyk6ftGY

There will be those moments when the buoyancy of hope will be transformed into the fatigue of despair. Our dreams will sometimes be shattered and our ethereal hopes blasted. We may again with tear-drenched eyes have to stand before the bier of some courageous civil-rights worker whose life will be snuffed out by the dastardly acts of bloodthirsty mobs. Difficult and painful as it is, we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future. And as we continue our charted course, we may gain consolation in the words so nobly left by that great black bard who was also a great freedom fighter of yesterday, James Weldon Johnson: . . .

  1. "Martin Luther King: Arc of the Moral Universe Bends Toward Justice." Joseph Coohill, Professorbuzzkill.com. All too often, researching the origins of well-known quotes leads to a kind of dead end. Famous people are credited with expressions and sayings that were in common use during their time, and those quotes are only attached to, for instance, Churchill or Gandhi, by later generations of admirers. Half the time, the humorous ones have their origins old vaudeville or music hall gags. And many of the serious quotes we investigate here at the Institute can’t be traced to one individual genius author. They seem to fall under the category of “old saying” or “well-known aphorism.” That doesn’t mean these quotes, and the sentiments behind them, aren’t very important. They usually are very important, and we all know folks who use quotes and sayings as a way to get through difficult passages in their lives. Getting through tough times, and hoping for an eventual resolution of difficulties, by taking comfort in a quote from a well-respected figure seems to work. That’s certainly the feeling that people want to express when they employ the famous quote, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” Certainly President Obama did when he wrote in an article for Time Magazine in 2009 January 21, 2020. https://professorbuzzkill.com/mlk-arc-of-moral-universe/
