    وَاَللَّهِ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ إِلَّا مِنَ الْجُوعِ وَالْفَقْرِ وَضِيقِ الْحَالِ. حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فِي مَن وُصِلْنَا بِهَذَا الْحَالِ. إِنِّي وَإِخْوَانِي الصّغَارِ صَارَ لَنَا ثَلاَثَة أَيَّامٍ بِدُونِ أَكْلٍ. كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ يَدُقُّ عَلَيْنَا صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ يَطْلُبُ الْإِجَارَ وَيُهَدِّدُنَا بِالطَّرْدِ إِلَى الشَّارِعِ إِذَا مَا دَفَعْنَا. حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّهِ  يَا أَهْلَ الْقُلُوبِ الرَّحِيمَةِ، أَقْسِمُ بِمَنْ رَفَعَ السَّمَاءَ وَبَسَطَ الْأَرْضَ أَنَّا لَنْ يُوجَدَ دَاخِلَ بَيْتِنَا حَتَّى قُوتِ يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ غَيْرَ الْجِيرَانِ يَدُولُنَا وَنَحْنُ نُعَانِي الْأَلَمَ وَالْوَيْلَاتِ. يَامَنْ أَنْتُم تُحِبُّونَ أَبْنَائَكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ، نَحْنُ بَنَاتُكُمْ نُعَانِي وَنَتَالمُ، وَلَا أَحَدً يَنظُرُ إِلَيْنَا بِعَيْنِ الرَّحْمَةِ. أَنَا أُشَادِكُمْ يَامَنْ تُحِبُّونَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرِ، حَيْثُ أَنَّا يَتَامَى وَمَا لَنَا أَحَدٌ، وَمُهَدَّدُونَ بِالطَّرْدِ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ إِلَى الشَّارِعِ إِذَا لَمْ نَدْفَعِ الإِجَارَ. 𝟵𝟲𝟳𝟳35955836+
     My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. 𝟬𝟬𝟵𝟲𝟳𝟳35955836 ”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””” How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother.  She cursed us. She said, “My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘How can I be better than people?’ I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man.  He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 𝟬𝟬𝟵𝟲𝟳𝟳35955836. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you.  My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can. May God reward you  ””””””””””””””””””””””””.°÷π÷π÷÷π`π^~_~÷`÷`π÷~_π`÷~ππ°~÷~π~π~÷~π~ππ~π…….،.، ……،.،..،.،..،.،.،..،.،..،.،.،.،…………..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,..,..،.،.،.،.،..،..,..,.,     ,     ,.,.,..,.,.,..,.,.,.,……………………,.,.,..,. . .. . .. . . .. . .. . . . …     ….،..،..،.،…….،….، ……………..😢😊😢😊😢😊😢😢

    I was at a fan run convention. I didn’t see this myself, but a very good friend did. This con’s security was being run by a group of fans who dressed like Klingons. However, while the fans had a good block of rooms sold, the largest area rodeo was also in town. Naturally, the security were standing just outside the doors of the various events. As a family of rodeo goers walked down the hall, the four year old child suddenly bumped into a pair of legs, she looked up at one of the Klingons, a very tall member of the security team. So, she looked up, and up, and up until she finally saw the Klingon looking down at her, not at all upset a child bumped into him. But the child screamed. The parents hadn’t really realized the child had stopped until the scream. The security man crouched down to her level, but in no way calmed her. He started speaking softly saying he was sorry he scared her. The mother finally got there and the child hid her face in whatever the mother was wearing. It took some time to calm the child, she still looked scared but the man got her to touch the prosthetic he had on his head. He told her he was just wearing a costume like at Halloween. That was the last time my friend saw anything, but I understand the child always walked as close to the other wall when passing any of the Klingons.

    Cool that they decided to expand their ‘community’ concept to help so many others! I’m not a cosplayer myself but I’m always impressed by the creativity and energy that they seem to put ibto their hobbies.
    Also, love this speaker’s suit, it is super-unique & zingy! 💛💜

    A Society that relies on Charity to care for it’s members that are in need, missed the main point of what a Society is there for…

    helping EVERYONE of its members, be they big or be they small, be they helpful or helpless

    Helping others shouldn’t be a rich Peoples feel-good Tithe, so they can exploit the working class the rest of the year, thinking they are the good people

Urging us to turn away from voices perpetuating harmful stereotypes, gender equality advocate Gary Barker shares three insights on fostering a culture of care, compassion and connection among men. “We are the most wired-to-care species on the planet,” he says. “But if you don’t use it … you don’t get good at it.”

The New Science of Eyewitness Memory | John Wixted | TED

We’ve built a legal system that distrusts eyewitness memory — backed by cautionary science and high-profile exonerations. John Wixted, a leading psychology researcher, challenges this conventional wisdom with a counterintuitive finding: the problem might not be memory itself but how (and when) courts test it.
