They re-built it from the ground up using a different language / software platform, right? If that’s the case, then they have to re-build each feature (I think). Could be that some of the good ol’ features they just haven’t finished yet.

Ok, this yt video is poor, but it has a number of scientific study links in the description that are gold. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=manuka http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/manuka-honey-medicinal-uses#1 https://www.nhs.uk/news/medication/can-honey-fight-superbugs-like-mrsa/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090907013759.htm https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3399220/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3865795/

Ok, I'm doing web-research on this, so I'm going to go ahead and post those articles / videos that look substantial. (Again, disclaimer that I don't know, and all this seems too good to be true, lol.) Here's the first one, with a few quotes and video: Medicinal Manuka Honey

I recently blog-published an essay entitled "Qi Sphere: Beginning". It is - sort of - a very simplified, beginning portion, of KYMQ ... from my pt of view, my angle on the practice. It serves as a practice in itself, as well as an introduction for those that want to go deeper into Sifu Matsuo's full KYMQ practice. https://johndaoproductions.wordpress.com/ My over-all intent with "John Dao Productions" is to present the deeper principles in a way that will be accessible to complete beginners as well interesting to dedicated internal arts nerds. p.s. I'll be writing a few essays to the JDP blog over time; just enough to cover the bare bones essentials, the framework of deep principles and mechanics - in a way that is sharable with public. Then I will have said what I wanted to say. If you wanna 'follow' it you can do so via the actual wordpress blog ( JohnDaoProductions.wordpress.com ) or by following the JDP thread in my personal practice area: Ordering info for Sifu Matsuo's KYMQ is in the description of the youtube KYMQ preview, copied, pasted below:

Hey I've got some threads that I've locked (yrs ago) in my subforum https://www.thedaobums.com/forum/44-trunk/ ... now with the new software I can't unlock 'em. Help?

thx! works.

I was just thinking of starting a mj thread, gonna jump in & segue a little w/ this: Sen. Cory Booker "It’s so hard to find a job. You can’t get business licenses. You can’t get Pell Grants. You can’t get public housing or even food stamps. So many things are cut off to you. Now, imagine if those arrests are overwhelmingly concentrated in certain communities, where you have the churning in of the poor people in those communities, or minority folks or disproportionately large numbers of the black men in that community have been arrested for doing things that if you went to a college campus and really did the police work, you’d find that large numbers of those folks are doing those drugs." Sen. Cory Booker’s bill would void federal convictions for marijuana possession and would grant new sentencing hearings to those convicted on other marijuana charges.

I wonder what your experiences with hitting practices have been .. ? Mine have been spotty and some input might help. Way back in the HT days, I tried a couple of dowels taped together: ouch! And the wires taped together: ouch! And the wires-taped-together but all-bent-spread-out: ouch! Recently, I ordered "healing broom", which is also a wire hitter. Nicer construction than mine that are duct-taped-held together, and finer wires - so I thought they'd be easier on me. And a woman demonstrating it on the website, ("couldn't be bad", I said). I recently received it: ouch! Wire hitters and I just haven't gotten along. Hitting with the hands can be helpful. The basic "Chi Self Massage". So far, I've find it's most effective on my upper chest. It kind of thumps deep into my chest, which is the kind of effect that feels satisfying. But hitting by hand doesn't quite do it on other parts of my body ... maybe I need to experiment more with that. I went to the L.A. Chinatown yesterday with a couple of friends, walked around, ate food, looked at stuff. A shop was selling bamboo swords (aka "shinai", "kenpo stick") and I found that the lower middle section felt really good for self-hitting. There's weight to it and flexibility, by virtue of the material (bamboo) and the fact that it's of four pieces. I bought one ($10), like it, consider it a "good find" for my self-hitting deficiency. I found that I could smack myself pretty hard on my upper back with it, and it felt really good. (p.s. I wear sweats when I self-hit with the shinai. Provides the right amount of padding for me, plus protects from splinters.) Any other tips?, experience? hits? misses? Trunk

new Pew Research Poll results: Sharp Partisan Divisions in Views of National Institutions Republicans increasingly say colleges have negative impact on U.S. Curious about the views of those on this forum re: whether colleges & universities have a positive / negative effect on the country?

Much better, thanks! (Both on my pc and my iPhone: works! )

I'm not into the notifications icon and mail icon both being collapsed into the right-hand menu. Notifications are fun but not important, mail is *really* important. I'd rather not have their numbers hidden together. Get my drift?

More emoticons 'd be fun.

I much prefer having <enter> just go to the next line. Thanks to all the staff!

Found this useful site: Mahayana Buddhist Sutras in English If you have links to other useful Buddhist online resources, this might be a good catch-all thread.

I've been watching some youtube videos of Tim Snyder, well educated, well spoken and decided to order his book On Tyranny. Might as well get some education from this mess. from his wikipedia page
