• "No piece of art has ever emotionally affected me the way this robot arm piece has. It's programmed to try to contain the hydraulic fluid that’s constantly leaking out and required to keep itself running...if too much escapes, it will die so it's desperately trying to pull it back to continue to fight for another day. Saddest part is they gave the robot the ability to do these 'happy dances' to spectators. When the project was first launched it danced around spending most of its time interacting with the crowd since it could quickly pull back the small spillage. Many years later... (as you see it now in the photo) it looks tired and hopeless as there isn't enough time to dance anymore.. It now only has enough time to try to keep itself alive as the amount of leaked hydraulic fluid became unmanageable as the spill grew over time. Living its last days in a never-ending cycle between sustaining life and simultaneously bleeding out... (Figuratively and literally as its hydraulic fluid was purposefully made to look like it's actual blood).
    "The robot arm finally ran out of hydraulic fluid in 2019, slowly came to a halt and died - And I am now tearing up over a friggin robot arm It was programmed to live out this fate and no matter what it did or how hard it tried, there was no escaping it. Spectators watched as it slowly bled out until the day that it ceased to move forever. Saying that 'this resonates' doesn't even do it justice imo. Created by Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, they named the piece, 'Can't Help Myself'. What a masterpiece. What a message."
    Extended interpretations: the hydraulic fluid in relation to how we kill ourselves both mentally and physically for money just in an attempt to sustain life, how the system is set up for us to fail on purpose to essentially enslave us and to steal the best years of our lives to play the game that the richest people of the world have designed. How this robs us of our happiness, passion and our inner peace. How we are slowly drowning with more responsibilities, with more expected of us, less rewarding pay-offs and less free time to enjoy ourselves with as the years go by. How there's really no escaping the system and that we were destined at birth to follow a pretty specific path that was already laid out before us. How we can give and give and give and how easily we can be forgotten after we've gone.. How we are loved and respected when we are valuable, then one day we aren't any longer and we become a burden...and how our young, free-caring spirit gets stolen from us as we get churned out of the broken system that we are trapped inside of. Can also be seen to represent the human life cycle and the fact that none of us make it out of this world alive. But also can act as a reminder to allow yourself to heal, rest and love with all of your heart. That the endless chase for 'more' isn't necessary in finding your own inner happiness.”

  • "Artificial intelligence is changing the world at breakneck speed. Alita, a sweet, tender, and innocent combat angel, is proof of this. Her ability to think and act on her own makes her a deadly weapon that can be used for good or evil. This technology offers us many possibilities by allowing us to create more intelligent and advanced entities than we have ever seen before. However, responsible use is crucial if we want to avoid disastrous consequences in our immediate future. Therefore, we must take action now to ensure that robots are used for altruistic purposes and not just as lethal weapons or destructive tools capable of completely destroying our societies."

  • I will start with an introduction. My parents are of Jewish Ancestry. My Dad is specifically of mostly Ashkenazi Jewish Descent. My dad taught me that Socialism was a good thing, and that Capitalism was the reason for Tyranny, Oppression, divisiveness and greed. My dad defended Countries such as Cuba and Venezuela, and opposed the U.S for intervening in their Affairs. My dad always painted the U.S as a greedy evil Capitalist Country that coerced and sanctioned other Countries that weren't doing its bidding.

    So, you can imagine. Just the Mention of right leaning Conservatism to me was repugnant. I could never understand why Conservatives cared not about the poor, yet professed a Christian faith. I was also taught that Jesus was a Socialist. Bear in mind however, that i did not know the real definition of Socialism. The only definition i knew was the watered down pseudo definition taught by State Controlled entities such as Public Schools and what my father taught me.

    I was taught Hitler was an example of NEO Liberailism, and that he privatized the Industries and crushed the Trade Unions, which is a real distortion of the actual facts. My wife is also of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. People however, were persecuted in Moldova because of their Jewish heritage. So, her family needed to keep that fact silenced in order to survive. My wife experienced real socialism first hand. My wife knew what a disaster leftist ideology is.

    When my wife was first introduced to me by a friend. The whole purpose of us meeting was to study the Torah, and because i had sat at Yeshivot, know hermaneutics ect, was the reason as to why my wife wanted to meet me and why she wanted to study with me. Little did i know that i had no understanding of the true definiton of my political ideology.

    Although i did conquer her misconceptions and misunderstandings of the bible, and offered irrefutable evidence and context from the Hebrew and other sources. I was not very effective when it came to politics. When she would tell me about the Socialism she lived through. I would tell her that it wasn't real Socialism, and would even tell her that her country was right leaning and conservative, and that is why only a few in her country were extremely rich, and the rest of the population was extremelly poor.

    It took me years before i finally opened my eyes, decided to investigate and challenge my ideology. I was a green partier and thought we were fighting for people's civil rights and were against the Central bankers and Government. I was truly deceived in believing that Socialism was a fight against tyranny, and that the revolution was an act of righteousness. My dad was a huge proponent of Franklin D. Roosevelt. I was taught that FDR did great things, such as levi high taxations for the rich. In fact, my dad praised FDR's 96% tax on the rich. Mussolini considered FDR a Fascist like him, and FDR was enamoured by Italian Fascism, which made no sense to me, as being a proponent of the left, Fascism was repugnant to me.

    The reality really was that my ideology was Fascist, i was just completely in the dark about it. I was taught that Government controlled Trade Unions were good and were there to defend my rights. Fascism by definiton is Trade Unionism. All of those people blaming right leaning Conservatives of being Fascist on one hand, and on the other they are supporting the Unions are by definiton the Fascist. Mussolini was an Anarcho Syndiclist, which is an oxymoron, but lets just role with it. Syndicates are Trade Unions. The Difference is that the Italians called them Corporations and the Soviets called them Syndicates. Hence, Syndicalism is Trade Unionism, and Trade Unionism is Fascism. So, when the Marxist call you a Fascist for being on the right. Make them aware that by definition, they are the Syndicalist and therefore they are the Fascist. None of these Marxist even know what they are saying when they call people Fascist. None of them can even define fascism.

    All of that being said. I am now ready to begin on explaining the Title of my post which is Holocaust VS National Socialism, and Holocaust VS Marxism.

    I owe a lot of the Knowledge I've acquired to Tik who has indepth Documentaries Explaining the differences between Public and Private, Socialism and Capitalism. If i had known the meaning of these terms, i would have never been a Socialist. Tik challenged my ideology, which led me in challenging my own ideology to see if it passes the test of scrutiny. It indeed did not.

    #1. Holocaust VS National Socialism

    The National Socialist Trolls as i have mentioned before know the Holocaust did Happen. The only purpose of them denying it, is because they know this is a direct attack on the Marxist who say the Holocaust did happen. It is clear as Tik puts it, that the National Socialists know that Hitler did Socialise the Aryan Racial Collective by removing the Jews from Society. If Hitler did not remove the Jews from Society, that only means that Hitler was not a "National Socialist" and did not Nationalize the masses nor Socialise the Aryan Race as he promised. Hitler did what he promised and the National Socialist know this. And therefore, the Holocaust did happen.

    2. Holocaust VS Marxism

    The Marxist claim the Holocaust happened. Yet, they deny the ideology that led to the Holocaust. The Marxist Deny that Hitler was a Socialist and place Hitler on the far right. By denying that Hitler was a Socialist, the Marxist are denying that Hitler Socialized the Aryan Race and are indirectly saying Hitler did not remove the Jews from Society, which is a denial of the Holocaust. The Marxist and other Socialists believe the Holocaust happened. Yet they deny the ideological driver of the Holocaust!

  • I had the opportunity to attend a coffee and cars event, where I stumbled upon an interesting observation. It became evident that most people were captivated by the impressive vehicles on display, often overlooking the captivating stories of the individuals who had worked hard to achieve their dreams. Contrarily, I found myself more intrigued by the mindset and personal growth of these individuals rather than the cars themselves. This experience highlighted the importance of looking beyond material possessions and discovering the lessons hidden within the journeys of successful entrepreneurs.

    I conducted several interviews with the exotic car owners and here is what I learned.

    Passion and Purpose:
    Successful individuals, regardless of their field, have a deep passion for what they do. They have discovered their purpose and align their actions with it. Finding your passion and understanding your purpose can provide the motivation and drive needed to excel in any endeavor.

    Resilience and Persistence:
    Success is often accompanied by setbacks and challenges. Successful individuals demonstrate resilience and persistence, refusing to give up in the face of adversity. They view failures as learning opportunities and use them to fuel their growth. Cultivating resilience and perseverance can help us navigate the ups and downs of life and achieve our goals.

    Continuous Learning:
    Lifelong learning is a hallmark of successful individuals. They understand the importance of personal and professional development. They actively seek new knowledge, skills, and experiences to broaden their horizons and adapt to changing circumstances.

    Risk-Taking and Innovation:
    Successful individuals are willing to step outside their comfort zones and take calculated risks. They embrace innovation and seek out new opportunities for growth and improvement. By embracing calculated risks and fostering a mindset of innovation, we can discover new paths to success and find unique solutions to challenges.

    Building a Strong Network:
    Successful individuals recognize the power of building a strong network of relationships. They surround themselves with supportive and like-minded individuals who inspire and challenge them. Building connections with mentors, peers, and experts in their field provides valuable insights, opportunities, and support throughout their journey.

    Adaptability and Flexibility:
    Adaptability is a key trait of successful individuals. They understand that change is inevitable, and they embrace it rather than resisting it. They remain flexible and open-minded, constantly adjusting their strategies and approaches to align with evolving circumstances.

    Attending the coffee and cars event provided a unique perspective on self-discovery. While many attendees focused on the cars themselves, I realized that the true essence lay in the stories and mindsets of the individuals behind those vehicles.

  • This afternoon at the Showgrounds in Lusaka, we were delighted to officially hand over 156 vehicles under the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) to facilitate service delivery to our people in all constituencies across Zambia.

    In attendance were stakeholders from a cross section of society. Our government has taken deliberate steps towards economic and social transformation to achieve equitable development in all the 10 provinces in Zambia, regardless of political affiliation. This is why we increased CDF from K1.6m to K28.3m per year, that is simultaneously disbursed to every constituency every year without fail.

    We are encouraged to see that now, through CDF, students have desks and this number is increasing daily. In addition, vulnerable pupils are attending school, the youth are accessing life skills and co-operatives have been empowered to enhance people’s livelihoods.

    Our guiding principle is people-centred development that ensures access to basic needs for all Zambians in all the corners of our country, so we urged the constituencies to use these vehicles for their intended purpose, to monitor and evaluate local projects because these benefit the whole community, whom we promised to serve.

  • River Niger



    The River Niger holds great economic importance for the countries it flows through. Let's explore some of the reasons why the river is significant for the economy:

    ### 1. Transportation:
    The River Niger serves as a major transportation route for goods and people. It allows for the movement of goods such as agricultural products, minerals, and manufactured goods. This helps connect different regions and facilitates trade and commerce between cities and countries along its banks. Barges and boats are used to transport goods, reducing the reliance on costly road or rail infrastructure.

    ### 2. Irrigation and Agriculture:
    The water from the River Niger is essential for irrigation purposes. It provides a reliable water source for farmers to irrigate their crops, particularly during dry seasons. Irrigation allows farmers to grow a variety of crops and increase agricultural productivity, leading to economic growth and food security. The fertile soil near the riverbanks also supports farming activities and sustains livelihoods.

    ### 3. Hydropower Generation:
    The River Niger is harnessed for hydroelectric power generation. Dams and reservoirs are built along the river to capture its water and convert the energy into electricity. Hydropower is a clean and renewable energy source, and it helps meet the increasing energy demands of industries, businesses, and households. Access to affordable and reliable electricity is crucial for economic development, industrial growth, and improving the quality of life.

    ### 4. Fishing and Aquaculture:
    The River Niger supports a thriving fishing industry. Its waters are home to a diverse range of fish species, including catfish, tilapia, and Nile perch. Fishing provides employment and a source of income for many communities along the river. Additionally, fish farming or aquaculture has gained prominence, where fish are bred and raised in controlled environments, contributing to the economy and meeting the demand for fish products.

    ![Screenshot_20230520-053947.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVF4yWjjj4ueFfCtoaXv7bQ6zPwxhLtjFydK2TBRr4SK4/Screenshot_20230520-053947.png)

    ### 5. Natural Resources:
    The Niger Delta, located at the mouth of the River Niger in Nigeria, is rich in oil and gas reserves. Oil extraction and production activities in the region significantly contribute to the economy of Nigeria, as oil exports form a substantial portion of the country's revenue. The river also supports other natural resources such as minerals, including gold and limestone, which can be extracted and utilized for economic purposes.

    ### Conclusion
    Overall, the River Niger plays a crucial role in driving economic activities, supporting livelihoods, and fostering development in the countries it flows through. Its contributions to transportation, agriculture, energy generation, fishing, and natural resource exploitation make it an invaluable asset for the economic growth and prosperity of the region.

  • We present to you our exquisite art prints on high-quality, brushed aluminium-dibond panels of 70x100 cm in dimension. The vivid, intense colors harmonized with a matte, non-reflective print produce a permanently striking visual appeal.

  • Creating a cryptocurrency is a complex process that involves technical, legal, and financial considerations. Here are some general steps to create a cryptocurrency:
    Determine the purpose and specifications of your cryptocurrency: You need to decide on the purpose of your cryptocurrency, the features you want it to have, and the technology you will use. Some of the decisions you will need to make include the name of the currency, the maximum supply, the mining algorithm, the consensus mechanism, and the programming language.
    Choose a blockchain platform: There are several blockchain platforms available that you can use to create your cryptocurrency. Some of the most popular platforms include Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Litecoin.
    Develop the code: You will need to develop the code for your cryptocurrency. This requires advanced knowledge of programming languages such as C++, Java, or Python.
    Test the code: You need to test the code thoroughly to identify any bugs or vulnerabilities. You can use testnets to simulate the behavior of your cryptocurrency on the blockchain.
    Launch your cryptocurrency: Once you have completed the development and testing of your cryptocurrency, you can launch it on the blockchain platform of your choice.
    Market your cryptocurrency: You need to promote your cryptocurrency to attract users and investors. This involves creating a website, social media presence, and other marketing strategies.
    It is important to note that creating a cryptocurrency involves significant technical expertise, time, and financial investment. Additionally, there are legal and regulatory considerations that you need to be aware of, such as compliance with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations. It is recommended that you consult with legal and financial professionals before embarking on the creation of a cryptocurrency.

  • We often hear that time is our most valuable resource, but perhaps our attention is just as precious. In a world filled with distractions, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Let's make a conscious effort to focus our attention on the things that bring us joy, fulfill us, and make a positive impact on the world. By doing so, we can create a life that is meaningful and purposeful.

  • The Battle On The River Neretva - Battle For The Wounded WWII
    On the way between Sarajevo and Mostar, in the city of Jablanica we visited a unique museum and locality.
    It is called Museum of the Battle for the Wounded at Neretva and is a reminder on one of the most famous battles in World War II. It was also one of the most unlikely victories as well as the trickiest war maneuvers!

    The battle is simply called „The Battle on the river Neretva“. The museum is located in the center of the city, next to a blown-up bridge, which is a symbol of this battle. The bridge represents its most important exhibit and it is very special for people from this city. It reminds them of the heroic battle and the victory that they, their fathers and grandfathers, have won.

    „The Battle on the river Neretva “, also known under a German code name „Fall Weiss“, was the strategic plan of The Axis forces against the Yugoslav partisan movement on today’s territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
    The attacks began on January 20th, 1943, and partisans were largely outnumbered in it. The Axis forces had 127 000 soldiers, strong artillery, tanks, and 15 warplanes, comparing to partisan’s 18 000 soldiers. Axis’ strong attacks started in north-western Bosnia and part of today’s Croatia, and partisans were forced to retreat. They pulled back all the way to south-east, to the river Neretva. On their way, they carried almost 4 000 wounded soldiers with them! That’s why this battle is often called „The most human battle in WW II“. Even now, if you visit Jablanica, you will see the sign „We cannot leave the wounded“, words of the president of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito.

    After Tito’s orders, partisans destroyed all the bridges behind them. When everyone expected partisans will head north, and not east across Neretva, Tito ordered destroying the railway bridge in Jablanica. Which they did, and while the train was crossing it! That was a bold and tricky decision, which nobody expected, especially The Axis forces. They deployed all their troops up north, in the valley of river Vrbas, waiting for partisans.


    After blowing up the bridge, a new and improvised wooden bridge was built in only 19 hours, and it was a salvation for partisans and the wounded, after which they headed to mountain Prenj. You can still find a war memorial on Prenj dedicated to partisans who climbed this beautiful but cruel mountain. This hard battle ended on March 31st, with partisans coming out of it as winners. It went out in history as one of the most difficult battles of WWII and victories against all the odds.

    The most expensive film ever made in Yugoslavia
    On the place of the blown-up bridge, Germans built another one in August 1943. The bridge was blown up again for the purposes of making a film „Battle at the river Neretva“.
    https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0064091/
    One of the most prominent actors of that time starred in the film, like Yul Brynner, Orson Welles, Franco Nero, and others. It was nominated for Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
    Pablo Picasso made one of the posters, making it one of the two he made in his entire career! Being a huge fan of Yugoslavian cinematography, he didn’t want to take any money, but only a case of best Yugoslav wines.

    The film was the most expensive in ex Yugoslavia. It costed between 4,5 and 12 million $, today’s equivalent of 70 million $! 350 million people from over the world saw the film. It also had over 10 000 extras, slightly less than Kubrick’s „Spartak“.
    Now back to the museum! On the 12th of November 1978, Josip Broz Tito opened it himself, on occasion of making the 35th anniversary of the battle on Neretva.


    Today, the overall surface of the museum is 3312 square meters. Inside you can find a lot of interesting things, from photos from that period, original documents, 3D objects, brigade flags and much more. Besides the exhibition of “Battle on Neretva,” you can also find exhibits of the 4th corps of Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Jablanica ethnic house. Also, in museum, you can find a city library with more than 10.000 books.
    Near the museum, you will also see a life-size replica of old locomotive series 73, used in railway bridge explosion.
