Is it unusual for the federal government to execute women? Montgomery, 52, was the only woman on federal death row. She is the first woman executed by the federal government since 1953 when Bonnie Brown Heady was executed in the kidnapping and murder of Bobby Greenlease, the 6-year-old son of a wealthy Kansas City car dealer. Heady pleaded guilty on Oct. 30, 1953, and less than two months later, she died via gas chamber at the state penitentiary in Jefferson City, Mo.

The average Nigerian IQ is 80 ,bad really..... I read , re-read , unlearned , made research , re -read again, postulated theories , got all I needed .its really all a map Started reading the encyclopedia at 12, started late because of the regular mass children plays of the 90's and 80's as we all did. I'm a free thinking Taiost I follow the principle of que Sera Sera , what will be will be ,May not be a popular opinion but lol the world once thought Criptids like the lochness exists and the World was flat Stop believing and hoping on God, The Ondo killing should fucking be enough for you to know , Bloody Hell Uwa was killed in a bloody Church, and so many before her, The CORONA , we have 6800 gods and counting , yours is a jewish myth of how a god was born amongst the Jews to save them The story of the flood was copied from the epic of Gilgamesh 2300 years before Genesis The story was they were 3 gods who after creating humans decide to wipe them up for their sins But for one of the gods he trusted humans and said they was one man who was richeous and should be saved So he went behind the gods back and told the man a certain cubit of boat not ark , he should make, that a flood was coming , and yes after the flood came it wiped the world and only this man and his family were spared , then he let our a raven(not dove) to confirm if the water had subsided , which it has When they came back from the Ark the made roasted sacrifice to the God and the Gods promised never to use flood to wipe the world again By the way floods are a regional occurance , it is impossible for the world to be flooded [Arctic animals like the polar bear and penguins only survive in Artantica ,, how did the move all the way from there to meet an old man in the middle east smh Why do I care? I don't , I used to .....but now its obvious the kicking IQ of the Average Nigerian would scorn their brains on this , But the little population , the 25 percent that this will impact Live your life smile and be happy , stop searching for truth there's none , live life like an Animal would in its territory Of course bringing people to 'light' is morally hypocritical of me , because I will have to place myself in a stand point of moral pedestal you believe is superior to who you wish to be taught or 'brought' into light , which i feel deem "fitting'' , is it not better they find who they are themselves.

Life Encourages You to Follow The Ethical Compass Within You A low-paid janitor cleans the same floors of the cancer ward every day. Others may not view the job the same way he does. It is very meaningful for him because it is the same hospital where his only child was treated for cancer. He feels grateful to the medical staff who contributed on the wellness of his child. In the same way, he hopes to bring inspiration to people suffering from cancer and their family. Many people are willing to do anything to reach the level they want. They work nearly 24/7 to get the promotion they desire. They hustle day and night to reach the goals they set. Doesn’t seem bad, right? It only becomes bad when you are seeking something that does not match with your values. If you succeed, but your inner compass does not agree with it, you won’t have inner peace every day. Your life is limited, so make sure you pursue something that your own ethics agree.

Life is a Series of Pause and Stops, But You Can Choose How to Deal With Them When it looks like we have it all, we experience sudden job loss, health problems, emotional pain, abrupt transition and other unwanted issues. Successful people look at these as opportunities to prepare themselves to launch a better plan. They don’t sit around pitying themselves. Instead, they devote their energy to steer their life in the direction they want. What pause or stop are you experiencing right now? No one wants to experience stops. But they are necessary in order for you to grow and be strong. These stops can remind you of the greater potential that awaits you. Said Barbara De Angelis: “We don’t develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.” |
Life Humbles You When You Forget About Reality “The problem is… how to remain whole in the midst of the distractions of life; how to remain balanced, no matter what centrifugal forces tend to pull one off center; how to remain strong, no matter what shocks come.” — Anne Morrow, The Gift from the Sea People often forget that the status they have is not forever. All the comfort they are enjoying will not always be there. They don’t stay grounded when success lands on their palm. When everything seems to be perfect, life often gives you a wake-up call. Each day is a reminder to live with a genuine attitude of gratitude. Enjoy the moment you have today. Build a relationship with others. Keep humility a part of your being. When life slaps you with a hard discipline, you can still rise above the pain. |
Life Requires You to Have a Break, It’s Not Always About Peak Performance Dr. Elmer Gates, an inventor, produced his best ideas when he sits down in silence for few hours. He instructed his secretary not to interrupt when there are guests in his office. He stays in a quiet room and concentrates until his subconscious start to flash ideas related to the project. He writes those ideas as fast as they strike his mind. Later, he screens them to determine their practicality and value. The brain gets overwhelmed when you keep drinking from a firehose of information. It steals and freezes your brain. Your brain can learn loads of new tricks and skills if you treat it right. Your mind and body cannot accommodate peak performance all the time. You are a human, not a machine. Give yourself the rest it deserves. If you don’t give your body time to rest, it will find time on its own. Your health will deteriorate and your peak performance will slow down. When you rest, you come out even better and stronger with a more refreshing outlook in life. TAKE A BREAK AND NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF MEDITATION

Truth hurts, and only a few open their doors to them, but by embracing them, you are giving yourself a clear head start to plan well. You don’t get surprised when life throws you lemons. You can keep pushing through the worthy goals you set. And you’ll be surprised how far you go

No one owes you anything ,not even your parents ,if anything you owe yourself to be the best self you can be , life comes with no manual , no Warranty and no promises , you can try to gain these promises with Religion, Work , Fame , but at the end you only have you and that is fact.

As a result, Shaka Zulu, a fierce ruler of the Zulu community, introduced military reforms that enabled his people to gain their warrior culture and formidable reputation.
