10051. Broccoli
stems soften (and shrink) quite a bit when roasted (in the oven);
10052. No, you’re not a hopeless loser. Life is challenging. It’s okay to feel sad or angry in response to whatever obstacle you’re facing;
10053. Making just one positive change in your life will push you towards all the other things that are good for you;
10054. I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination;
10055. Life isn’t about getting and having, it’s about giving and being;
10056. Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions;
10057. You do not find the happy life. You make it;
10058. Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it;
10059. If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way;
10060. When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be;
10061. Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself;
10062. If you want unusual results, you can’t do the same things that everyone else does;
10063. It is a common mistake to assume that evolution is a process of improvement, that evolving organisms are progressing toward some final, perfected state. But they, and we, are not. An evolving society or organism simply adapts over the generations to changing conditions. While these modifications may be immediately beneficial, they are not really improvements because external conditions never stop shifting;
10064. When children and adolescents don’t get adequate nutrition for as little as a week, growth slows in the long bones in their arms and legs. When their nutritional intake recovers and the bones begin to grow again, the density of the new bone growth differs from the interruption. X-rays reveal theses telltale lines in ancient bones know as Harris lines. Periods of more prolonged malnutrition leave signs on the teeth known as hypoplasias – discolored bands and small pits in the enamel surface, which can still be seen many centuries later in fossilized remains. Archaeologists find fewer Harris lines and dental hypoplasias in the remains of prehistoric hunters-gatherer populations than they do in the skeletons of settled populations who lived in villages dependent on cultivation for their food supply;
10065. Approximately 800 skeletons from the Dickson Mounds in the lower Illinois Valley have been analyzed. Archeologist George Armelagos and his colleagues reported that the farmers’ remains show a 50% increase in chronic malnutrition and 3 times the incidence of infectious diseases (indicated by bone lesions) compared with the foragers who preceded them. Furthermore, they found evidence of increased infant mortality, delayed skeletal grow in adults and a fourfold increase in porotic hyperostosis indicating iron-deficiency anemia in more than half the population;
10066. Throughout the world, the shift to agriculture accompanied a dramatic drop in the quality of most people’s diets and overall health;
10067. Don’t waste your time and energy reinforcing a negative belief system;
10068. Keep/use your old toothbrushes to clean/scrub the inside of your toilet (bowl) and then toss them;
10069. Save the unused wet wipes/moist towelettes you get at restaurants. They work great for cleaning the sides of your toilet;
10070. The “PLNT burger” at “PLNT Burger” (PLNTBurger.com) is tasty. . . . So is the “spicy chik n’ funguy” (sandwich);
10071. “PLNT Burger” is from Spike Mendelsohn (i.e., the former contestant on “Top Chef”);
10072. I no longer judge myself for my past;
10073. I look back kindly at my past self;
10074. The quickest way to get your attention back to the present moment is to focus on your breath;
10075. Sometimes what is most beneficial might be painful and what is toxic might be pleasurable;
10076. Difficult as it may be for some to accept, skeletal evidence clearly shows that our ancestors didn’t experience widespread, chronic scarcity until the advent of agriculture. Chronic food shortages and scarcity-based economies are artifacts of social systems that arose with farming;
10077. Hunter-gatherers spent their abundant leisure time eating, drinking, playing and socializing – in short, doing the very things we associate with affluence;
10078. For the vast majority of human generations that have ever lived, it would have been unthinkable to hoard food when those around you were hungry. The hunter-gatherer represents uneconomic man;
10079. John Fogerty has to dye his hair;
10080. Hearing John Fogerty’s band play reminds me of listening to (live) music at “The Tobacco Company( Restaurant)” (TheTobaccoCompany.com) in Richmond;
10081. John Fogerty wrote “Who’ll Stop the Rain” after coming back from playing (the) Woodstock (Music & Art Fair) in 1969;
10082. John Fogerty’s two sons, Shane and Tyler, play in his band;
10083. John Fogerty has a baseball bat-shaped guitar for playing “Centerfield;”
10084. Shane Fogerty can really play( the guitar);
10085. Warfare is more likely in advanced horticultural and agrarian societies than it is in hunting-and-gathering and simple horticultural societies. When sociologist, Patrick Nolan, limited his analysis only to hunter-gatherer and agrarian societies, he found that above-average population density was the best predictor of war;
10086. Ecologist Peter Turchin and anthropologist Andrey Korotayev looked at data from English, Chinese and Roman history finding strong statistical correlations between increases in population density and warfare. Their suggests population growth could account for as much as 90% of the variation between historical periods of war and peace;
10087. Freedom (from war) is just another word for nothing to lose or gain;
10088. After conducting a comprehensive review of prehistoric skeletal evidence, anthropologist Brian Ferguson concluded that apart from one particular site in modern-day Sudan, “only about a dozen homo sapiens skeletons 10,000 years ago or older, out of hundreds of similar antiquity examined to date, show clear indication of interpersonal violence.” Ferguson continues, “If warfare were prevalent in early prehistoric times, the abundant materials in the archaeological record would be rich with evidence of warfare. But the signs are not there;”
10089. Let go of the past. Don’t spend your energy on something that no longer exists;
10090. (George Mumford’s) 4 “A”s: 1. Awareness; 2. Acceptance; 3. Action; and 4. Assessment;
10091. Strive for a healthy balance between doing the best you can and then letting go;
10092. I can say that I’ve seen Genesis (with Phil Collins) in concert;
10093. Phil Collins walks with a cane;
10094. Phil Collins doesn’t play drums (in concert) anymore;
10095. Nic(holas) Collins, Phil’s son, plays (the) drums for Genesis . . . and he’s really good;
10096. Take a minute to focus on things that are going right for you;
10097. Problems in relationships occur because each person is concentrating on what is missing in the other person;
10098. If your love for another person doesn’t include loving yourself then your love is incomplete;
10099. You can love them, forgive them and want good things for them, but still move on without them;
10100. Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option;
10052. No, you’re not a hopeless loser. Life is challenging. It’s okay to feel sad or angry in response to whatever obstacle you’re facing;
