The standing rock tribe are being silenced about what is going on up there with the Dakota access pipe line.

I beg of you to help me get the topic out. It will affect millions of lives. The pipe will leave into the tribes only source of drinking water. We are trying so hard to get this out on twitter and facebook, but we are being silenced.

Today a security team came into the middle of a peaceful native american protest and numerous people got maced and bitten by the dogs. 

I want you all to take a look at the terror on these young girls faces. Then I want you to take a look at the two aggressive dogs. When did it become OK to use dogs against children, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters OUR freakin people!!! The police will only let a dog go if the suspect runs or the suspect is violent and causes a threat to the public of the officer. Do you see a weapon in these young girls hands? Do these girls look dangerous? The answer would be no. No they don’t.The people with the dogs aren’t even police officers! They are security guards. They couldn’t even keep control of their own dogs leading to them being attacked also.

Most of you won’t even bat an eyelid at my posts, others will be annoyed because of my constant posting.This is happening right this second and threatening millions of lives. I have to help.We can only break the silence if you join us in this fight. Just sharing my post helps the reality of the situation get out there. I now beg of you to share this post in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Give them a bigger voice. Help them shout this from the roof tops. Please… Rachael <3 <3 #NoDAPL

Dr. Jon Robison offers this excellent advice:

If you have a health condition commonly considered to be “weight-related,” (most likely candidates are hypertension, abnormal cholesterol, abnormal blood glucose) and a health professional recommends weight loss as a solution, ask [them] the following questions: 

 What is the long-term success rate of the approach you are suggesting? What is the likelihood I will regain the weight I lose? 

What is likely to happen to my health condition if I lose the weight and then regain it? 

Is there any way to treat this condition that does not involve a focus on weight loss? (How would you treat a thin person who had the same condition?) 

The answers given by your health professional to these questions should look something like: 

The success rate is no better than 5% and it is quite likely that you will gain back all of the weight that you lost and perhaps a bit more. 

It is quite possible that your health issues (high blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol, etc.) will get worse when you regain the weight. 

All of these conditions can be helped through lifestyle changes with little or no weight loss. (A Health-Centered Approach) The best treatment for a fat person for any of these conditions is the same treatment that would be recommended for a thin person…  

NOTE: If you don’t get something like these answers, consider seeking help elsewhere.  

Preach.

Rocket Lab nearing completion of New Zealand-based launch site.

Rocket Lab, a private US company in the small satellite business, is nearing completion of their launch pad in New Zealand. The California-based firm plans to launch their 52-foot Electron rocket from the site on New Zealand’s Eastern Mahia Pinensula.Weighing at more than 50 tons, the launch mount and strongback were installed in late July, and were the last majors structures added at the site. Construction began in early December, 2015. Electron will launch payloads weighing up to 350 pounds into orbits as high as 310 miles. When it enters service, Rocket Lab will be the first commercial company to operate their own launch site and launch range. Since other commercial companies launch from government launch sites, they do not operate their own range.Rocket Lab is one of many new companies funded in recent years to offer cheaper, quicker access to space for small satellites. Launch Complex 39C was built at Kennedy Space Center to cater to this growing demand, and can be rented out to companies like Rocket Lab.P/c: Rocket Lab

Rocket Lab’s New Zealand launch site seen under construction shortly before the launch mount was added. The Electron rocket’s assembly hangar can be seen with a concrete roadway leading to where the pad is.

So I finally cracked open my Princess Diaries special edition dvd, and immediately went to the bloopers, as you do, and decided that the internet needed even more reasons to love Julie Andrews. You’re welcome.
