Falling Asleep to revelation
There's nothing like the old rugged version...the king james version of the holy bible, spoken by
the legendary Alexander Scourby ...speaking gently the book of revelation.
Even the frugal beagles among us, can appreciate these free youtube vids...
Peace,
carla.

you or your family is cocooning indoors?
- Books,

- Scrabble anyone?
- painting the interior of your home....a clean coat of paint lifts everyone's spirits eh.
- talking to one another
- more laundry then you ever thought possible
- youtube has a huge volume of valuable sources of information which can be selected based upon your field of interest. M.I,T has free online courseware with top notch professors and classes.

Corona Sites
For the past few days I have been hunting for the best websites to determine what is currently updating in the "corona virus" world.

I hope you that you all will do your own due diligence to find those sources of factual intelligence and updates that are most relevant for your particular location.
worldwide:

Wishing you wisdom and grace as we humans make our way through this global health struggle with God's help.

Only For Self Led Learners
Self led learning has revolutionized how I look at learning. It took all the bitterness I picked up in formal schooling and transformed learning into something delicious and uniquely fulfilling.
When is the last time you did something that you taught yourself on your own terms?
How did you feel? If you have never learned anything new based on your OWN initiative, then you are really missing out on a personal gift to yourself.
It is a special and very powerful event to see that you can set a written goal for yourself and move toward that goal and then look in your rear view mirror and see that not only have you passed that goal for yourself, but that your life is gaining momentum and you are moving towards your dream life.
Anything really is possible when you believe in yourself and you come to understand that God's love and blessings are available to you.
Never be afraid to read a book you don't understand. Never be intimidated to watch videos that are "above and beyond" your current educational level. What you think is leading no where.....can lead somewhere splendid, when you allow your own personal curiosity to uncover new knowledge and skills you never knew you could develop.
When you have faith in you.....you come into agreement with God, who has had faith in you since your beginning.
Peace,
Carla

The Markets are a Thing?
It irks me when folks regard and talk about the "stock market" as if it is an inanimate object.
The market is anything but a lump of "thing".
It is more of a lively beast, reactive, calculating, and at times manipulative and seductive.
Some people state that the market is simply a set of algorithms and that there isn't any human involvement in it anymore.
In my own kwirky understanding of the market I'd like to say the following:
Yes, of course human beings are going to use artificial intelligence more and more and more as time goes on, to maintain a financial edge and semblance of "control" in markets. But that doesn't make the market "less human". No, using A.I. is akin to using your sharpest knife in the kitchen when you are trying to carve up a steak.....it just works better than a dull butter knife.
Behind every A.I. program is a programmer. Those programmers don't just set an A.I. system loose on the markets and trust it's instinct. A.I. does not have instinct. A.I. does precisely what it is programmed to do, and not a tad more than that. Programmers and traders work in tandem to tweak and adjust their A.I. algorithms to maximize trends and take advantage of unpredictable market events. The programs maintain the priorities that are set into their systems, and stick to script, unlike humans who often lose their priorities when their emotions run hot.
So, yes, we don't see many folks running around the trading pits with papers strewn all over the floor, and traders making weird hand signals to brokers to complete trades. ( however, that still does happen in certain circles) But, the market is still very reactive and lively. Behind the screens, laptops, mobile phones, rooms filled with processors and huge monitors across the globe..... are very real and very wonderfully emotional human beings...determined to make a buck. The more computerized are our interactions with the markets, the more that we can use these preset tools to overcome our emotional weaknesses. Computers can cross the gap that sometimes prevents us from doing what is logical and rational, because of our own stubbornness and hot-headed-ness.
The events over the past two days should show us once again, that the market is a lively beast being controlled by humans.....humans with strong opinions, beliefs and emotions.
Well, that's all for now. Just wanted to put that out there.
Have a peaceful day friends.
Carla.
