I stood on top of the World Trade Centre back in May 2001. The next day I visited Ellis Island, and a lovely couple took a photo of me (solo traveller). They asked if I wanted the Statue of Liberty in the background. I said no, I wanted the twin towers. My heart broke four months later. 💔
I ‘m in the foreground and the New York twin towers are in the background.

He’s so bad. It’s so embarrassing and scary at the same time.
A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday - Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime.
It's amazing that Melania and I didn't fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. This was absolutely sabotage, as noted by a day's earlier
"post" in The London Times that said
UN workers "joked about turning off an escalator." The people that did it should be arrested! Then, as I stood before a Television crowd of millions of people all over the World, and important Leaders in the Hall, my telepromoter didn't work. It was stoneteleprompter didn't work. It was stone cold dark. I immediately thought to myself, "Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter.
What kind of a place is this?" | then proceeded to make a Speech without a teleprompter, which kicked in about 15 minutes later. The good news is the Speech has gotten fantastic reviews. Maybe they appreciated the fact that very few people could have done what I did. And third, after making the Speech, I was told that the sound was completely off in the Auditorium where the Speech was made, that World Leaders, unless they used the interpreters' earpieces, couldn't hear a thing. The first person I saw at the conclusion of the Speech was Melania, who was sitting right up front. I said, "How did I do?" And she said, "I couldn't hear a word you said." This wasn't a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They oughttriple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I'm sending a copy of this letter to the Secretary General, and I demand an immediate investigation. No wonder the United Nations hasn't been able to do the job that they were put in existence to do. All security tapes at the escalator should be saved, especially the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Turns Out Trump's Own Team Messed Up U.N. Escalator and Teleprompter

A U.N. official said the UN understands that someone from the president's party who ran ahead of him inadvertently triggered the stop mechanism on the escalator. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the White House was operating the teleprompter for Trump.

“Bad escalator" President Trump referred to during his address to the U.N. General Assembly.

Dan Cluchey:

There's no scenario — none — where WH staff isn't overseeing the prompter. Physical scrolling is typically handled by military personnel from the Comms Agency who train for years. A WH staffer
*always* runs the show. As a former WH speechwriter, this is my only area of expertise.

Carrick Ryan is on FB.
Another mass-shooting in the US, two children aged eight and 10 were killed in the attack and at least 17 other victims (14 children and three adults) were injured.

Predictably, it has seen the usual chase to find the motivations of a deranged mass-murderer, expecting to find clues within the incoherent scribbles on his weapon... a poetic example of a country failing to see the forrest for the trees.

It doesn't matter what unhinged hatred or warped ideology captured the attention of this disturbed mind in the moments before his act of inhuman violence; it's the fact he had access to not one, but three high-powered firearms to extrapolate his murderous intent upon the innocent people around him.

One of these firearms appears to have been an AR15 semi-automatic rifle, a weapon capable of firing 30 rounds in a matter of seconds. A weapon that is banned in Australia.

As a former Federal Agent, let me assure you, we have the same mentally unstable, radicalised, and dangerous men in our society that the US does; we just take steps to mitigate the damage they can do.
The "sovereign citizen" who murdered two police officers in Victoria two days ago was armed with a "home-made shotgun" and a rifle - both of which are only capable of firing single shots at a time. He killed the officers because he ambushed them, not because he had more firepower.

One of the final Counter Terrorism investigations I worked on before leaving the AFP was the Australian terrorist who killed 51 people in a Christchurch Mosque using an AR15. There is a lot I am not allowed to disclose, but it is my ardent view that the only reason this attack did not occur in Australia was because of our gun laws. This Australian born and raised terrorist lived in New Zealand primarily because he was allowed to keep weapons like the AR15, while in Australia he could not. Immediately following his horrific crime, New Zealand changed the laws to prohibit semi-automatic weapons like the AR15.
I recall two other terrorist attacks in Australia that I investigated that involved the use of firearms. The Lindt Cafe Siege gunman used a sawn-off shotgun to execute Tori Johnson, the 15yr old who murdered Curtis Cheng had a 1935 Smith and Wesson handgun. Both assailants were shot by Police before they could murder a second person (tragically, Katrina Dawson, was killed in cross fire as police stormed the Lindt Cafe).

Speaking from my experience of the genuine  terrorist attacks we foiled in Australia, I am adamant that our gun laws have saved 100s of lives from this type of violence alone. The Islamist extremists who sought to murder Australians could not get their hands on the weapons they needed to carry out their plans. Often, it was only because of the difficulties they had in accessing firearms that their plans became known to us, and afforded us the opportunity to intervene.

We will never know how many families have been absolved from the tragedy of identifying their loved ones at a mass casualty event.
I don't write this to influence the gun debate in the US, I understand how futile that is. But I hope it reminds all Australians just how sacred our gun laws are and how important it is that this remains a strong point of bipartisan agreement - these laws must only ever be changed to make them stronger.

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much.
"We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve.
"Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad.
"Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them.
"If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following:
• Plant a tree.
• Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail
• Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
• Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
• Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
• Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
• Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
"Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Control of consciousness determines the quality of life

Combining over 40 years of ground-breaking research with practical advice, world-renowned psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi reveals the key to optimal experience- flow.

Arguing that the human brain is most happy when engaged in the meaningful pursuit of a goal - anything from sport to learning a language, from enjoyable work to practising music - he demonstrates that the need to concentrate and lose yourself in the moment is the key to finding inner peace, happiness and order in the midst of our chaotic lives.
