The “Little Mermaid” is starring Halle Bailey as princess Ariel. Halle Bailey is a a beautiful black female with a beautiful voice. Princess Ariel is historically played by a white female. Although it should not be a surprise that Caucasian's and nonblack people are having an issue with a black, African American, character playing Ariel, I am surprised about the excitement that Black America is having for this Black female Princess. In my observations, since the age of 15, I feel that Disney strategically teases us with black characters. Disney rarely allows us to enjoy the black characters. I think Disney uses black characters as a selling tool. I believe that every time Disney uses a black character, they view it as an opportunity to display diversity. African Americans are never given a large black ensemble in Disney animations.  Therefore I believe that the “Little Mermaid” will be another Disney tease and let down. My first experience with the disappointment was in the “Lion King” movie. In the “Lion King” film we had James Earl Jones as Mufasa and Madge Sinclair as Sarabi. The film begins with two strong African American voices as King and Queen, yet the voice of young Simba is voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas, a white male. Although young Nala was voice by Laura Williams, a black female, Disney Strategically changed adult Nala to Moira Kelly, a nonblack female. I believe this was strategically done to match the adult voice of Matthew Broderick. The cast was cleverly changed from a black King and Queen to a nonblack King and Queen. The next film is the “Princess and the Frog.” The beautiful black animation in the “Princess and the Frog” was quickly taken from us by the Princess being turned into a frog very early in the film. The Princess was given a nonblack Prince and a stereotypical familybackground. Her mother was was a seamstress to a rich, white male. Her father was the hard working Black man who never got the life he wanted. As we move to the movie “Soul,” we have Jamie Fox and Angela Basset being used to sell the film as a story about a black Jazz musician. Again we see the black Character quickly taken from us. He was given a weak, beta male personality. He was also emasculated by Disney. For the dominant portion of the film, the character had the voice of a white woman coming from his body. These tactics are strategically done by Disney to remove the blackness from the characters. In a change of companies, Sony Pictures did a similar thing in the film, “Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse.” In this film we have Myles Morales, an Afro Latino male. In the film credits, Shameik Moore was not labeled Spider-Man. He was listed as Myles Morales. Sony redirected the audience from the black character by, first, making him Afro Latino, then by adding multiple Spider-Man characters. Not only was all the other Spider-Man characters nonblack, one of the characters was even a female Spider-Man. Lastly, the actual film plot was more about the adult, white male Spider-Man than Myles Morales. In the film “Encanto” by Disney, Latinos are given the opportunity to have their culture beautifully displayed. The cast appears to be largely Latino. What I find most angering is that the film displays beautifully brown skin that is not African American.Disney's “The Proud Family” is a display of black stereotypes. I believed Disney uses this cartoon as a way of making fun of black people. This is why I'm not excited about the “Little Mermaid.”

The versatile Boston University School of Fine Arts graduate has portrayed doctors, judges, mothers high and low, queens, freedom fighters, suburban neighbors, POTUS and a comic book supervillain.Woodard's illustrious body of work includes an Oscar nominated performance in Martin Ritt's Cross Creek; HBO's Mandela, for which she earned an ACE award for her portrayal of Winnie Mandela; Lawrence Kasdan's Grand Canyon; John Sayles' Passion Fish; Joseph Sargent's Miss Evers' Boys, for which she won an Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe Awards; Spike Lee's Crooklyn; Gina Prince-Bythewood's Love and Basketball; Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys; Maya Angelou's Down in The Delta, and, most importantly, her intergalactic turn with Captain Picard in Star Trek: First Contact.We've enjoyed Alfre's astonishing range on screen over four decades, about which she advises "Google me!"She played Betty Applewhite on the ABC drama Desperate Housewives and Ruby Jean Reynolds, mother to Lafayette Reynolds, on HBO's True Blood. Woodard co-starred in Lifetime's hit remake of Steel Magnolias, for which she was nominated for Screen Actors Guild and Emmy Awards, and won a NAACP Image Award for her performance as Ouiser.Most recently, she appeared in the acclaimed drama 12 Years A Slave, directed by Steve McQueen, and Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, plus New Line's Annabelle, and the Netflix Original feature Juanita, as the title character. Somehow she also found time to star in Marvel'S Luke Cage as the diabolical Mariah Dillard, and she also appeared in the Apple series SEE, opposite Jason Momoa. Woodard also gave voice to Sarabi in Jon Favreau's Live Action The Lion King. Recently, her riveting portrayal of a death row prison warden in Chinonye Chukwu's Clemency, was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.Whilst building this illustrious career, Alfre co-founded Artists for a New South Africa, a nonprofit working to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS and further the cause of democracy and human rights in South Africa and the U.S. For this and her anti apartheid activism she was honored with the Order of Companions of Oliver Tambo, that country's highest civilian medal. Alfre directed and produced, Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktales, which won the 2010 Audiobook of the Year, and garnered a 2010 Grammy Award nomination for "Best Children's Spoken Word Album." The audiobook hosts a collaboration of talent both broad and diverse, featuring: Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, and Samuel L. Jackson.In 2009, President Barack Obama appointed her to his President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. As part of her work on the Committee, Woodard adopted several high poverty and under-performing public schools around the country.She is an active advocate for the arts in education, largely through her work on the Committee's "Turnaround Arts" initiative, which was launched in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education and the White House Domestic Policy Council to narrow the achievement gap and increase student engagement through the arts. Now based in the Kennedy Center, Turnaround Arts is spurring the creativity, expanding the scholarship, nurturing the citizenship, and introducing possibility in the lives of 50,000 kids, while turning around 80 formerly 'at risk' schools nationwide.She says acting is her profession, but feels everyone's real job "is to learn how to love each other - in our households, in our communities," she has said. "We do that by working for justice."Woodard is unfazed by the glitz of celebrity, but is grateful for its opportunity to "get her to the mic".  She remains fueled by the values she learned growing up in Tulsa.In November 2014, she was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, and took the opportunity to credit her parents in her acceptance remarks. Her parents, always mindful of the hardship of others, "planted the seed of humanity" in her as a child. "They allowed me artistic as well as personal freedom. They didn't say 'go out and conquer' or 'go out and accumulate,' they just said 'Go. Do it. Be it. Be yourself. Fill yourself all the way up, Alfre, and never, ever forget your neighbor.'"

Um, I, I, Luke let's check in on the stock. Let's see how Dutch bros is doing right now. Up again. I mean, this stock has just been ripping all week. Oh, I wonder what the. Check with the one week return is on bros right now. Yep. And, and, and th this is the new coffee shop, uh, IPO craft producer.Does that sound right? Yes, sir. Yep. It's uh, specifically in the kind of Pacific Northwest, um, kinda, you know, out in, uh, Oregon, Washington, that part of the country, these are everywhere. They're like the Dunkin donuts in the Northeast where there's one on every corner in Boston. Um, and. I mean, it's up 25% this week alone, Luke.Um, I'm up for not going to lie. The drinks don't look like that. Good. Yeah. They look like, I mean, they kind of look like Dunkin donuts drinks, like super sort of shitty. Alright. Is if anybody's been to Dutch bros, will you please comment like this looks way better? Like maybe get this fall it's oh, is it PSL season?Yeah, it's definitely PSL season. It's definitely, they have a, so here's Starbucks. Here's let's look at the Dutch bros site. Yeah, the Starbucks drinks look just like so much more lowering. Wait, let's look at what we're getting into the chat. Um, Kira said I went to Arizona on vacation, visited Dutch bros and went every day.It's pricey, but it tastes amazing. All right. Matt says drinks are so bad. Cameron is not a fan of fan eye. So if you've been to, if you've been to Dutch bros, give us a one in the chat. Um, or a two, if you've been to Dutch bros and you like it, give us a one. If you do not like it, give us a two. Okay.Everybody likes touch for us clearly except for a Cameron Dole. Are you judging coffee brands by photos? Yes. The answer is we're doing D D right now. It's very serious, but, but, but I'll say beyond that, we're asking for a reason, right? It's it's not a brand that we have in Michigan where I live and that's why we're asking.STBC lives in Oregon. Yep. Um, so yeah, I mean, th this one's interesting for sure. I don't know if, if the stock will hang out at these prices, it's kind of hard to tell, right. After an IPO, you don't have a long, I wonder, do you know what the IPO is priced at prices three. I believe. I believe it opened that $36.I don't know what a bit priced at 23. Okay. Let, let, let's just talk through how this IPO mechanism works for a second producer, maybe. So, so, so there, there's a few prices to keep in mind when we're talking about IPO's. Uh, the first one. This is what the IPO price is at. Okay. And that, that sort of the first price that we get, and that's the price at which the company is selling shares out to the market.So, so and so when the company is creating 10 million new shares and dumping them on the market, that's the price at which the company is selling those shares to the market. Typically it's institutional shareholders that are buying those shares and they're, they're buying them, uh, before the stock typically starts trading.And generally speaking, the price increases from, from the, the, the first day of trading. There's a price increase versus where the stock price is at. So, so, so that's the first price, what the IPO price is at. And again, that, that that's where, where the company is, is selling their shares onto the market. Uh, the second price to keep in mind is where the stock opens.Okay. So, so the company is going to sell their shares for 23, but they're making that decision before the stock is actually trading. It's typically the next day that the stock is going to start trading. Um, and, and so basically the way that, that, that stock opening process looks like is, you know, the market maker gets all the buyers of the stock, all that.So there's a stock lines of. And figures out where exactly that bid-ask lands, uh, in, in, at what price the stock is going to start trading on the market. So, so, so we had the IPO priced at $23 a share that's the price of which Dutch bros sold it, sold shares to the institutions. Uh, then we have the open price at 32 50.That's the price at which the stock actually started trading. Uh, in today we are sitting at 53 times. Okay. So, so, so for, for any of those institutional investors who got in at 23, they've already more than doubled their money, uh, for anybody who got in, when the stock started trading at 32, you've already, you already have more than 50%.Um, so I mean, it's, it's definitely been a hell of a run for the, for the short lifespan as a public company. Yeah. I mean, look, I think any time you have an IPO and you're trading it right after, um, it's one of those things that you have to keep an eye on in your portfolio. Um, because, you know, th the IPOs tend to trade pretty volatile after, um, you know, in the months after.So if, if I have Dutch bros in my portfolio right now, look, I'm not selling it, but I'm going to be watching it like a Hawk. Yup. And they're asking for a tighter. Yeah. Um, we need a close up on loop. There we go. We're just going to do it like this. Okay. Um, let's grab first ticker out of the chat produce.Maybe I saw it. Well, I wanted to say I saw Marin earlier. It came in earlier. M R I N, and Luke, this is one, uh, I can share my screen and I can show my portfolio. I bought this stock yesterday. I'm up 20% on it. Let me find this one year chart daily candles that we're looking at right now, guys shows Zuma in producer AB rich Kaiser.Yeah, let's get it. These are daily candles, daily candles. What do you want? And here's here's five days. 10 minute candles. How's that? Uh, no, I want, I want the dailies, but I want it zoomed in on the last, like, say month or so. All right. Here are daily candles and you got about a month. Beautiful. Uh, yeah, I mean, it wasn't.So yesterday I was looking at the chart and the chart did look good to me. Like it, it, you know, it obviously had, um, it hadn't quite jumped up yet. So right now on the trade, it had jumped up. Not as much it as of right now, though. And on the trade I'm up. Let me check in my portfolio. Up 19%, Luke overnight 20% overnight, not an options trade just bought the stock and it happens to be up 20% today.Um, so let me know in the chat, is it time to sell? And, and so, so what is the company doing? Yeah, they do. And it's kind of a SAS company. Um, and they renewed a contract with Google. So the, you know, that obviously had a positive impact on, uh, on the, on the stock that they cause. So it bounced twice, which is honestly what I'm a little bit confused about.Cause I I've only seen the one news thing, so I don't know why it would bounce twice on two separate days off of one piece of news.You got some energy in it, baby. That's what it is. And shout out to Cameron Dolan. The chat is basically saying that if it holds up today, a stock looks good in his view. And I tend to agree with that. Right. We had that first pop. We had a hell of a sell off, off of the highs and now we're pretty much back up to those highs.Yeah. We're just kind of filling that gap, but, um, it is higher now. Uh, earlier today than it was on that previous peak. So it got to 9 93. Um, and now it's at 1127. So if we close above that, um, you know, previous, previous, I think we're in good shape and maybe a prudent shout out from Cameron in, in the chat saying, saying, don't make it binary.Don't make it. Should I buy or should I, should I hold? Or should I sell? You can sell half, right? You, you can start easing your way out of a position. And that might be the move. Yeah. What I say to you, Cameron is I like the way you think I'm going to go ahead and do that right now. As you can see here, I'll scroll down.History Benzinger article on there. Yep. Um, that's Randy Elias. I asked them today. Cause so, so Luke, we've talked about this before, how the whims came about was essentially Luke would be checking his portfolio and he would walk over to the news desk and say, Hey, Brent, um, you know, why is, why is my stock apple of 5% today?Or he'd say, Hey, Jason. Um, cause back in those days, Raz would, would work on the news desk like every day. And he would ask Raz like why his stocks were moving. So eventually we made a product out of, um, why it's moving. And I asked Randy kind of same thing. Like I was Luke, you know, however many years ago, that was, I was like, Randy, why is, why is Marin up 20% today?And you know, I was like, Hey, we should do a whim on it. So this is Randy. Shout out, Randy. History 22 hours ago, about $300 worth that's about 38 shares, 37.9 shares. So Cameron, what I am going to do is I'm going to sell 14 shares right now. Wait, no, I said, uh, 2019 I'll do 19 shares right now, but that's the.To sell 19 shares. So done. Thank you, Kevin, for the advice. Boom, boom. That's how we do on zinger nation. All right. Now you have proceeds. Let's roll it into something else. All right. Let me know what I should buy Fridays are for Yolo trades. I don't know if that's prudent advice lately, like selling half the position when you're already up, but typically by the time we get to Friday, I'm like so tired that I'm I'm in my Yolo trading ed.I gave another stock on get technical yesterday, which it probably wasn't the right show to give it on Luke because it wasn't based on technicals. It was based more on the fundamentals. Um, but that's FOC Fox FAC Fox F I want you to check out this because the company reported great earnings last report.Um, the stock has been really strong and I I'm looking for previous all-time highs in this trade. Okay. All right. Here's here's one, one here's one year chart, daily candles. Um, I don't know. I think it's fine. I think we just rip it. Like this is not just ripping it. I think we picked something that that's 40% today at high of day and you just load it.All right. I'll share. I'll share my sons. Find one. Damn why I in the chat, if anybody has symbols, top of mind that acting like that daily, daily movers, um, oh, no stop. I'm just going to use Benzinga pro for this. A E H R is the highest, the biggest mover today. You guys, you guys got that stock on this show at like $5, dude hit it.Let's go for a boy for a boy and high a day. We're all, all time highs. I'm going to buy some from all time highs. You're at high high a day. You're already up 36%. This exactly fits the profile for a Friday afternoon. Yolo trade volume. You're one of the last warm, warm weekends of the year. Let's do it.History five seconds ago, $200, 12 and a half shares of AHR. Shout out Ben of story trading. Um, yeah, so 12 and a half is weird. That would screw with me. I think I never bought a fractional share before. Isn't that weird ever? Never. Oh, well they didn't have it right when I started, it's like a new thing. I just always thought two or three years dollar amounts.Oh my God. We're already up. We were up bro, half a percent. I use it to pay down margin loans. Spencer Israel side said, said dividends for fractional shares. I told him I don't reinvest those dividends. He's a debate on my margin loans slowly, you know, work it down. Um, but all right, producer AB we have a very special in-office guest today.Yes, sir, Luke. Um, let's get to it. Uh, before we do, I have a quick little ad for our, uh, our swag that I want to play. We need, we need to send some more t-shirts out to the community. So if you want to get the swag I'll, I'll give you guys a little preview and I'll drop that link in the chat. Okay. What was that before?Do that pre preview the rest of our show as well. What else do we have on deck today? So we have obviously going to be checking in on your AHR trade. Yep. We will do that later in the show. We have Anthony Hughes join us. He is the founder and CEO of stocks, trading trouble. Tri stocks.com. Um, it is a new brokerage that has not yet launched, but it's taking signups on the waitlist.Um, so we'll bring him here. In-person Luke, very excited for this interview. Um, and then after that, we are going to talk about the big Bitcoin news in China, how, uh, China is cracking down on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and, uh, yeah, that should round out the. All right. All right. I'm producer AB ha ha.Give me a thumbs up if the audio sounds okay. We're trying something new. You guys hear you. Okay. But we got the thumbs up. All right. We have for the first time, in quite a while, maybe, maybe almost a year at this point in, in office guest. So, so, so Anthony, you came all the way out here from Iowa to visit us or maybe, or some other reason you're in town, but regardless you are here in Detroit, Michigan.How are you doing today? Man, get access to actual news and market research with all the information you need to invest smarter and profit faster. Start your free trial today@prodotbenzinga.com. I'm good man. First time in Detroit, um, I'm from the Pacific Northwest eventually, or, you know, whatever. Um, but uh, yeah man, first time in Detroit, um, I was great.Detroit's awesome. A nice little. But, uh, yeah, it's good to be out here, man. All right. So, so, so good. Give us a little bit of your background. Tell us about your, your trading, investing career. Any, anything else that that just helps us give us a little bit of context? Yeah, for sure. So, um, I mean, I'm a division one wrestler, so I love to compete, um, or former division I'm too old now, but, um, yeah, so I love to compete.So when I was in college, Kind of started trading, um, the, the old school OJI platforms. Um, and then Robin hood showed up on the scene, made it a lot easier for guys like us to start trading. And yes, I've been about trading for about a decade now, a self-taught YouTube kind of YouTube university kind of helped out with, with the trading.Learnings and whatnot, but, uh, yeah, so trading for about a decade management, all my own portfolios and funds and, uh, just love it. Absolutely love it. Okay. But, but, but then you said Robin hood is not enough, right? You, you mentioned that, that you were from like, you know, the, the traditional brokerage is you made the move to Robin hood, but then something happened where you said Robin hood is not enough and now you're, you're launching your own business.So, so tell us about that and why you're getting. Yeah, so, ah, fantastic question. Um, but, uh, so back in January, um, we all know the turmoil that happened in the markets. Um, and I was actually working on another software company at the time. Um, so stock trading is my fourth company and successfully exited two of them already.So it was working on another SAS product and. How's laying in bed, reading through Bloomberg and Benzinga and Yahoo finance, and all of a sudden you can't trade GameStop anymore. And I was like, ah, yeah, this isn't gonna, this isn't gonna work. There's a marketing issue here. And so it was like five 30 in the morning.So I wake my wife up. I was like, ah, Jill, I'm going to start another company today. She's like, no, please don't do that. Please just work on what you're working on. And, um, I was like, give me 36 hours. Let's see what else. And, um, so launch stocks trading with a landing page, uh, bought 500 bucks worth of Facebook advertising.And, uh, we had 1400 people sign up for the waitlist and about 30 hours. So, um, so stocks trading is, is what we're working on. Okay. All right. And, and, and one, I love how easy, like, like, you know, the CPC advertising makes it right where you can just throw something out there and quick get quick market feedback.Cause we, we love to do that as well when we're testing new products. Um, but, but, but tell us a little bit about the stock's trading experience. Like what, what, what should users expect? Um, you know, how are you going to be interfacing with the users? Yeah, that's fantastic. So, um, I think we need to start from kind of the unique value proposition that we have for, um, our users specifically.Um, we are attempting to create the first user owned financial platform, um, the first iteration of that big retail trading app. And, um, and that was pretty much the market sentiment at the time when everybody thought like these retail trading apps were kind of on the retail traders side, um, and then turns out.They weren't and like, and so when looking at the market, how we're going to build our go to market strategy, I was like, man, let's just, uh, let's give away 500,000 people shares of our company. And, um, and so that's literally what we're doing is we're giving away, um, about a quarter of our company right now, just to users so that we can.Always put our people first. Right. And that, that needs to be the sentiment of companies like moving forward. It's like when you. Your customers and your people first, they're going to be evangelists for you and they're going to be life long customers. And so that is literally our value proposition right now.And it kind of falls off of what Warren buffet has believed for forever. It's that shareholders make the best customers. Right. So what does Warren buffet do? He only drinks Coca-Cola he only eats dilly bars. He only buys his mattresses at Nebraska furniture Mart. I mean, so he is a consumer of the companies that he owns.And so with those, uh, kind of building blocks in place, giving shares away of our company, Putting our people first, uh, we're going to build a kick-ass company, man, and it's going to be for the people by the people. Okay. That's sweet. And I'm learning about this at the same time. That's all you, all of you guys are.So, so, so let me ask this in terms of the mechanism for, for users to get those shares, is it, uh, users who are on the waitlist? Uh, and then they go ahead and they create the account when available. Um, and then that's their, their gifted shares. Is it, is it basically work like that? Does everybody get shares in proportion?Uh, what, what exactly does that. Yeah. So, um, so right now, uh, w w our app, our trading platform will launch October 17th, knock on wood. Uh, that's what the engineers told me this week. Um, so in about a month in three and a half weeks, three and a half weeks. So, uh, we're, we're going to beta launch in about three weeks.And, uh, so right now, it's you gotta to try stocks.com. There's a button that says, join waitlist, get five free shows, throw it up, try, try songs.com. Um, join the wait list. There's no obligation. Um, we would hope that you download the app when it's ready, but, um, so during the waitlist, we're giving five shares away and, um, and then the mechanism that we will, the vehicle that we'll be using in order to give those shares away is through a share drop, um, on Republic.Um, so we're partnered with Republic, uh, to be able to administer those shares. And, um, yeah, so just join the wait list and then eventually download the app. You'll get, you'll get you. Um, and, uh, yeah, man, like that is literally what I'm dedicated to right now. It's building a good app and giving the shares away, so.Okay. And, and, uh, our users are going to be curious about the backend, right? Like, like who, who are you clearing through? Who, whose custodian the assets. Can you, can you talk us through that? Yeah. So, um, so we're a tech company, right? Um, we, we're not a broker dealer. And so when, um, when I launched the company back in February, um, for what I did, it would realize how much, like, how much you needed to like, be in compliance with regulations to start a trading company.Um, cause I was a SAS guy, not a FinTech guy. And um, so it was like, oh man, like there's a lot of stuff to do. So, um, so we are kind of using the neobank. To where, um, a FinTech company can essentially launch a bank account and be sponsored by bank or BB VA or something like that. Um, and so our sponsoring broker dealers, alpaca markets, and they're a San Francisco based API broker dealer.And, um, yep. You guys know them. Yeah. You guys know them well. And, um, and so the reason why we, we chose them was. I think what Robin hood did. And if we back up for a second to talk about how brokerages retail brokerages, 0% commission brokerages make money, is it. By order flow or by commissions, like, I mean, those are the only really two main ways to do it.And so that was a big, um, thing for me was when Parker partnering with alpaca, I needed to know exactly how they cleared. Right. And so, um, so instead of selling it to the same, uh, clearing firm, like Citadel or something like that, So that doesn't get us in trouble by saying that, but, um, but like they, they go by best bed only, and they had about seven different clearing houses that they go through.And so, so it's truly a, it goes with our ethos of, you know, trying to put the user in the customer first. Uh, but then eventually on our roadmap, we do have some aspirations. Uh, broker-dealer as well. So, um, but that's further down the line. That's the boring part, but the fun part is the tech side. Right?Building the application, figuring out what data to put in there, what the interface is going to be like. Yeah. Leave that to a backup and a huge shout out to alpaca. If you guys don't know them, uh, uh, they, they just had some news. They raised a pretty big round. I don't remember. It was like 75 million or something.Yeah. So you just raised a big round. And I remember this was, must've been probably three years ago, visiting their offices in, in, uh, Palo Alto. It was somewhere out there and it was like, like four people there, like total, you know, it was like two co-founders and when do software engineers and I'm like is ambitious what they're going after, but, you know, Hey, that's you best of luck and they're doing it.So, okay. All right. So, so, so, so that's the business. What about the stocks? You have favorite stocks on your radar right now? This is the trade idea shows. So you have to give us at least one,no one judged me for this. Okay. But I, uh, I just bought the massive dip on Virgin later. Or Virgin, sorry, Virgin galactic. So, um, so I'm, I brought the dip, um, let's see about three weeks ago, four weeks ago, and that, see that, that nice, that nice dip. Yep. Um, so bought it, I think it touched like 22 or something like that.Uh, bought it. So I'm not, um, I am a yellow. Just because I have to be stocks, trading, baby, like diamond hands to the moon. Um, but uh, I like Virgin galactic kind of long-term I love the billionaire space race right now. Um, I think there's a lot of momentum, um, but I'm also a, um, Alfa Dubai writes on everything I do.So, um, so I'll do covered calls. Um, I'll sell poets, um, to, to reduce my cost basis. And so that's what I'm doing on Virgin Atlantic or Virgin galactic because, um, li. Oh, yeah. You get super long. Yeah. I'll get along. Yeah. I'll get along. Yeah. Which I, I love the selling the puts because it at least reduces my cost basis while I'm waiting.Um, but I'll be like 10% under, like, you know, and if I get assigned on it, that's fine. And then we'll hit it again. So we'll, I'll dollar cost average, like, until it finally turns around and in his reversal. All right. I like it. Uh, what about GameStop? You long it still, or no, I got long again. For the first time in months, was it?I don't know if anybody in the chat remembers, but it was one or two weeks ago. Um, I had been out of it for awhile. I think I had the best game stop trade of anybody. I, uh, Got our game sub-story was crazy. So, so we had, when Andrew left from her, when he came out against the stock and I was like 40 bucks, he broke that news on this show, this show that we're doing right now, that's where he broke the news.And I saw so much energy flowing into like the chat that I'm like, okay, this is special. And that's what triggered me to buy the stock in the forties. Did I paper hands it? Yes. But my sale price was $420 in 69 cents. You're not going to get up at like six 15 in the morning. Like, like I, I checked my, my, my broker Jack.Pre-market like, when I got up, like, you know, like, like five 30 or something like that, I saw it was close through that limit on there, got in the shower. By the time I was out of the shower, filled it for 20, 69. It wasn't meant to be, but I'm, I'm long again, as of a couple of weeks ago, I'm back in the name.We're where are you at with it? And the chat hates that I'm in this stock too. They think it's all dead money. Well, I'm not, I can't comment on the dead money part because. I own a diamond hands company, but, um, yeah, I'm not in game stop. Um, I got out quite a bit ago. I'm still an AMC. Um, I hit AMC at like eight bucks, nine bucks.And I'm still riding that, um, with the, so the momentum trades are, or, I mean, it's, I don't know whether you call it momentum trades anymore. Just how many retail investors are behind these, but I learned my lesson with doge. Um, so I had doge for like six months. Um, I bought it at 0.0, zero 5 cents. There's five tenths of one penny.Um, and I held it and I was like, no, just us not leaving. And so I was like, I'm done, I'm out of it. I sold it January 21st of this year. Uh, Elon Musk tweeted like 47 seconds later and it, and it's been on a tear ever since. So I did learn my lesson with not sticking in with the means. Um, but once I hit a hundred percent, I'm out, I got to rotate to something else personally, but no, don't tell, don't tell that many people about it.So. Alright. And let's ask this one too, guys. Uh, let, let, let, let's get Anthony some help here. Uh, put in the chat. What is most important for you w with a, with a brokerage app? Right? So, so he he's building this thing actively right now. Like, I, I, this, this idea is coming from somebody in the chat said, please give us, it was, it was rich guys are said, please give us a little bit more charting power.Um, But, but guys drop in the chat. What is really important for you for, for your brokerage product and, and, you know, if we're all shareholders, maybe we band together and we start voting on these things. And there we go, um, back to the charting power. So some of that were engineering and I showed the team a little bit of the app.Maybe I'll send it over and we can throw it up sometime. Um, but what we're trying to balance. You got to give Robin hood props for building a absolutely beautiful product and business. I mean, you got to give him props, but from a charter, well, from a charting perspective, it's like, there's not that much.And then we will rolls out and they give a lot of charting, but it's hard to use or in the feels like trading view. Right. And so, so what we're trying to do is like take the design flawlessness of Robin. With overlay charting. So we're going to have Mac D and Bolinger bands and everything, but we're re we're reducing the amount of functional functionality you can actually do with the chart itself.And that kind of balance allows us to give more technical indicators without making an impossible to use. Um, and then secondly, kind of our roadmap, but you mind if I tell a little bit about the roadmap, um, We're going to launch, um, the trading up here in three weeks, hopefully. Um, but uh, on the roadmap, we're actually launching a neobank as well.So we are partnering with bank Corp to offer checking accounts, savings, accounts, debit cards, credit cards, personal loans. I mean like the whole gambit. Um, and then, um, Q1 Q2 of next year, we'll throw in portfolio management so people can, um, manage their HSA is 401ks IRAs in the platform as well. And we really want to build a super, a super app for, uh, for the re just the retail money manager themselves.Right. And that's kind of what we're calling ourselves now is like we're retail money managers. Like we're managing our own portfolio. We do the best. I don't have to pay somebody a percentage. Um, and you know, with partnerships like Benzinga and stuff, we can trade and train and educate, um, our people to, uh, to trade better.So, and then we'll get through a crypto wallet in there too, but that's next year. So. Okay. And what about this one? I, I see a lot of ideas coming in for, in here. Some more useful than others. Probably the most important one that I see is the confetti, the confetti animation. You know, I think that that one had to get taken out, unfortunately, when the IPO happened, but you know, users like the confetti, I showed the boys here at, uh, Benzinga last night, a little bit of the app.And when you execute a trade, it says, um, do you want to launch. And it's a rocket ship. And so the, so we actually built in an animation to where you swipe up to trade a rocket ship follows and then hits a moon. So we have like a moon that comes down and explodes the moon. So we couldn't do the confetti.I'm pretty sure there's a little design IP behind that, but, um, but the rocket into the, the rocket into the moon is what we have. Yes. Yes. I am all about the rocket. Yeah. All right. That's awesome. Um, it, any other questions you guys have for Anthony drop them in the. Um, uh, otherwise in any, any final words of wisdom for us, um, I guess wisdom be a smart trader, right?Like, um, and like that is what we're buy the stock sell puts, uh, you know, of course by the high of all time, hold it. Um, no, it's like, you know, when you hit 30, 40, 50% in gains, especially on these beam stocks, um, and this is what we're having to tell our community now. Is, um, eventually you got to take your profits, right?And so I liquidate liquidate, liquidate. If you're up a hundred percent, maybe reduce position by half rotate. I'm not a money manager. Right. But like, um, that, those are my words of wisdom. Right. And so, um, take your profits, have fun, continue to learn. Um, and they get on stocks trading. So. All right, guys, I'm gonna put the link in the chat.One more time. Really neat concept that giving the shares away to your users. I didn't know about that until just now. That's awesome. I'm all about it. Um, let me ask you one more, uh, Republic. Why why'd you choose Republic, uh, of all the platforms you could have partnered with for, for the. Yeah, great question.So, uh, we actually raised a small, um, pre-seed round on we funder. Um, and, uh, and so we have about 10,000 people on the wait list right now. And so, um, we want to be as community driven as possible, which is why we're going crowdfunding route. Um, we are trying not to. A single dollar from a VC. Um, this is like one of our tenants is like, we don't want investment banks.We don't want VCs because as soon as I put three VCs on my board, now I become beholden to the VCs instead of our users. And so a Republic has a very good track record with getting FinTech companies, launched crypto companies launched, um, and, and they also offer. A crowdfunding platform that offers a share drop.And so they're going to be facilitating the share job, allocating the shares to our users, uh, once they sign up for the waitlist and a, which that will be done at the end of October. So I would just fill it a filing the partnership with Republic right now. But, uh, yeah, so like they they're able to facilitate that shared route for us, which is why we essentially went with them.All right. That's awesome, man. I appreciate you stopping by. I appreciate you hanging out with us and the crowd that the chatters out there. Zinger nation is definitely a fan of the concept. Cool. Alrighty, sir. Appreciate you. Thanks you guys.That was Anthony Hughes of stocks trading. The link is in the chat. Please go check out the website and sign up if you have not already. Um, let's take a quick peek into my portfolio. We'll see how those trades are doing. Um, check in on AHR as well as Marin. Let's see. So Luke, I'm down about a percent and a half in Marin right now are not married.AHR, not worried about. Um, as Ben from story trading, Rowan, can I get the camera, the camera height right today? I mean, Jesus.All right. How about that one? That was a pretty cool concept. DV, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, I I'm, I'm all about it, Luke. I don't know. I don't know about you, but I might have to assign a sign up for an account and switch my Robinhood over. Okay. Yeah. Well, hopefully when you, uh, when this AHR. I mean, Ben said maybe, or what's the deal Cole.I just bought it about 20 minutes ago. Um, Ben settle on the show. He had a very hefty, ambitious price target of about $50. So honestly, if this, if this goes down a couple bucks, Luke, and I'm down, you know, so it's a swing trade. Do not let your swing trades turn into long-term investments, especially since I've peer pressured you into making.I will feel accountable. No, I mean, Hey, if $50 is in the future, I want to be. All right. If you say so, it will say, it looks like we might be, we might be getting some legs back in HR. Maybe you get some green candles going. Yeah, I need some green candles. Let's check back in on Marin, Marin software. M R I N um, up about 25% today, Luke.So definitely some you hit this one yesterday. Oh, well, Cole bought AHR at his at Ben's last interview at seven. Good. First I bought this one yesterday, Luke, there were a few factors that went into it. Rodrigo. I sold Marin because I didn't sell all my mare and I sold half of it. Um, because you already have 20% of the day, right.Someone told me to Cameron Dole told me to, and I said, Hey, he sounds smarter than me. So, um, I did it, um, Let me see what else is in my portfolio. That's moving in a day. Look, FUBU has just been a dog for me. People in that chat will probably hate on me for this. Cause I talk about absolutely 110% a, uh, but selling candidate.It is, it is let's zoom it out. So here's here's one year chart, daily candles to super, super tight range. Yeah. I w let's put that one on the books for next week. Maybe let's find some quotes that we can sell against. Yeah, I think last time we checked on it, there maybe just wasn't, uh, like that much premium that we'd be raising, but maybe, uh, you know, some the higher Vicks and applied Ivy that the premium will be good on those.I mean, I'm not out of this trade yet, but it's just been doing nothing for me. I mean, it's like Anthony was talking about with the OSHA and he said it was just ranged around for so long that he got bored of the trade, um, sold then as soon as he did it, it, it spiked. Um, all right. We can't see. What stock this is, but let me guess.So it said 1147. Um, give me an industry.Wait, what are we looking for? You have this stock, sorry. I just wasn't paying attention. We couldn't see the name of it. So I was going to guess I was asking for the industry, but, um, I don't know if I would have gotten that one. All right. Uh, what about the crypto market today? AB what. So China as has been typical China fashion for the past, you know, few months, um, you know, has been ramping up China's, uh, you know, regulation and involvement in, um, business in general.And so basically right now, China came out and said, uh, Holly was down to 1 45. I know it's it's, it's not, she, it, anybody inbox. I got out of my Baba trades. I'm still, I'm still looking. I might get into some leaps here soon. Dude, if you bought PABA three years ago, your break even let's look at how the numbers have changed over that same period of time.They've probably increased the revenue by a buck. So over that same three years, they've doubled revenue and the stock is flat. Uh, happy. My average for FUBU is yep. 29, 76. So I don't know. Did, I mean down 1300? I don't know where everybody's at on a Baba dude.Alright, Baba. One of you like it too, if you don't. I mean, this is so we're looking right now. This is a ten-year chart with monthly candles. Okay. So we're zoomed away. I mean, this thing is ugly. Bottom of range to support from three years ago. Matter sort of maybe, um, dude, I can't leave Bob. I was down to 1 45.I hadn't looked at it in a couple of weeks. I mean, last time I checked, it was still holding on around around 200 dropping another 25% on that shout out lava. Why do you like it too? You don't. I see a couple twos popping in there. Uh, Yeah, I think I'll get into a Baba trade at about 1 35, maybe one 30. So, so let's look at these Baba financials for a second.Let's do some, some quick valuation math. So net income on Baba 45. Uh, this is really inconsistent. This is tough. If you average these three quarters, what do you have? You have, uh, 1 25 by three. So doing $40 million of profit a quarter, roughly. So that's 160 million a year, or I'm sorry. 160 billion a year.The market cap is 400 million AB. So what is that 400 divided by one 60 stocks trading at two and a half times. P E. S and P averages is closer to what? Five, 10 S and P average, no way, way higher. You think talking about PE? Oh, okay. Not. Uh, price to, so, uh, Dan saying he loves Baba at one 20, I think, anywhere down there in that one 20 to 30.All right. So 34 that that's the average for the S and P 500 is, is 35, basically average PE ratio. Ali-Baba Xavier wants me to stop saying Ababa, but sorry, but Alibaba's at two and a half times, and that just shows the market sentiment on this. I think as soon as we see institutions willing to come in and take on the potential risk for this, for how crazy undervalued it is.No. Let's think about what that risk is like. What's the biggest risk. The biggest risk is it gets privatized right in, in, in everybody. Is Sol that's the biggest risk? Is that realistic? I don't know. The market seems like it's pricing in some of that. I w what other risks could there be like, could there be regulation that hurts their ability to sales?Maybe? I mean, I I'm, I'm in the boat that I think China long-term, we'll be doing, um, you know, Jack ma went missing. We, we, we don't know if it's the real Jack model that came back. Uh, and we, I heard him talk. I think we have, but there's like a bunch of rumors saying that they think it's like an actor playing Jack, Bob, but he's also breaking it up.That's one solar and UPSes to solar up is thrown out there. Yeah. I mean, there's an argument to be made loop that the potential risks, um, outweigh the potential, uh, for growth in this stock. I would however, be willing to take on that risk longterm. Um, because I think that China will be doing what it is and its power to become, uh, the economic kind of, you know, super power of the world.And I don't think breaking up it's big as company will be, um, you know, part of that plan, but we we'll see, do you have your brokerage account open? I don't. I do. Can you price me out? What are some one 20 December puts going $420 strike December. Um, one 20 let's do December 17th by puts one 20 puts are five, 10, $500.So $5 a share. Is that right? Can you zoom in again? Yup. I got a little.Normally the low on the, on the day for this contract was $4 and 91 cents. The high is $5 and 20 cents. So try to be a decent move. So you sell one contract. You're going to get $500 right away for selling the contract, right? $5 a share times at times, a hundred shares in a contract. So you get 500 bucks right away.Uh, as long as Ali Baba is above $115 on December 20th or whatever the date is that these contracts expire. Uh, you keep your 500 bucks and enrolled into something else. Bad case scenario. Let's say the stock goes down to 75. Right. I mean, that would be another halfing of, of where it is now that then you're on the hook for 70, you know, the 115 minus 75 times a hundred.So then you're on the hook for four GS, I think another way to play it, Luke would potentially be looking out to these very long-term. So others, this one's January 20, 20, 23. Um, so yeah, this is a year and a half away. Um, maybe like something like a $180 strike price it, or you could even go further. I mean, I can sort of get behind that.Okay. So, so let's think about this one. Hold on. I'm sitting down. So, so, so you're going away out to January 20, 23. So that's 15 months. Yep. Uh, You do go back to $18. What was that? 180 strike. A hundred lady strike is, is about, um, you know, it'd be about two grand to pick up this contract, but I mean, Luke, I would be so, so, so shocked if in a year from now Baba, isn't up to, you know, say $200 or so.Yeah. So you're paying two grand today. If the stock got back up to two 50, uh, then you make, make seven grand off your. That's not horrible. Yeah. I mean, we'll take that. We'll take, uh, you know, 300%, 200% any day of the week, I think. Uh, so a long time. So you're way out. It's not a 200% trade in among the one benefit to doing a trade like this compared to selling the puts is, you know, exactly how much you could potentially lose in the 1890.I mean, if for whatever reason, Baba just tanked and got below that $115 price, you would have to. Well, you'd have to buy a hundred shares at one to, to buy yourself out. Um, and for someone like me that has a smaller portfolio this way, I know exactly how much I would potentially be on the hook for. Um, and I would only do this if I was willing to take on, um, you know, about $1,900 worth of risk, um, for a potentially very profitable trade and think about too.How could you hedge it a little bit? Right. So, so you could buy those calls. Uh, that's risky too. And I was going to say, and you could also do like short something like a J D dot. Yeah, but I think all I'm using that one, another Chinese name, less volatility. I wouldn't short something like jd.com just because I think it's also gotten beaten down.Um, so I feel like if, if we have news, that's good for Baba. Baba is moving up that J D will probably as well. I'm thinking about it, like as, as a hedge and I mean, using the jd.com, because again, it's another Chinese tech giant, but less. Oh, I see what you're saying so that if there is more and more bad news than JD goes down and we're at least making some money off that, um, while our Baba call is getting smacked.Um, yeah, and I like STB CS recommendation. So, so rather than buying the calls AB and shelling out that, that 1900 bucks you could burn the money and be warm for about a minute. Yeah. I mean, that, that does provide some value. Um, I get behind that. I think there are other, you know, if you're not that risk averse, um, you know, there are other opportunities out there that will be not as risky.Um, but at the end of the day, some of the more risky trades to end up paying off in longterm, I'm not saying I'm going out and buy and Baba. But like I said earlier, if it gets down to the 120, $130 range, I'll be looking at contracts again. Okay. And hacks is throwing out another suggestion. This, this one, I th th this trade idea, I think is a little bit better than the STBC one use at $1,900.Don't buy the Baba calls and buy tacos,like ground beef. We talking chicken, pork taco, taco bell, for sure. 1900 tacos. Can we, um, what's the company yum. They own taco bell, right? Uh, it's sort of confusing. Uh, yum owns owns taco bell in certain geographies. I believe it operates through the following segments, KFC pizza hut, taco bell division habit, burger grill.I've never heard of habit for a good grill. Um, I don't know. I mean, this. Wow. It's been it's up over a hundred percent over the past year, or, you know, this symbol AB while we're on the topic you went on this one, what is it? Y U M C you know that one? Yum. See, oh, this one out China. Yeah. No, that key, uh, KFC is absolutely huge in China.I don't know why, but it is never been, everyone loves tacos. Yep. That's true. Yeah. I mean, yum. So, so here's the thing, Luke, look at this. So if I have, if I pull up the five-year chart, we can see right here where the COVID crash was and it got all the way down to $58 currently at 125. But even before COVID.I mean, it was at about 120 bucks and trading lower. I mean, it got all the way up to like way higher than its, uh, you know, pre COVID levels. And I think a lot of these fast food chains actually did pretty decent during COVID. Um, when people couldn't go sit down at restaurants and whatnot, you had food delivered.Um, so, so this could be interesting to me because if you think about it, if we go into another lockdown, they're going to be better off then, you know, we're not locking down again. I don't think, I think no way in hell. I, I think so either, but that's also good news for the stock that we're doing fully vaccinated.AB I am. I wonder where the chat is that people might not like this. I'm curious, the country's vaccine. Now I would guess the chats about 50, 50, I guess, about 55. If you want to vote, we're going to make you vote on stocks. We won't make you vote on this one. One, if you are too, if you're not, I was a holdout, but eventually got it.My point, uh, that I was going with Lucas that I think that I think yum is kind of insulated from any like coronavirus fears because w you know, everything goes, according to plan, people are going to be going out more, spending more money at drive-throughs. Um, and if something does happen, they're going to be in a better position than some of the relatives.Wow. This chat is exactly 50 50.It's boring to be Friesen too, but I have COVID born and I hope everything's okay in the comment right before that is one, but very Anthony mandate. Yeah. That's kind of where I stand too. I think it's very silly. Um, any mandate? I think, uh, obviously companies have a right to. Uh, you know, do like set any regular.Yeah. In addition to being tired, I'm all about private enterprise. Do it, do what you will. There are choices. I don't think like the New York city one, like, I'm totally against that. Like, I don't think cities or state entities, um, should be Amanda mandating max vaccines. But I think people that are upset that companies do it.It's like, look, companies do what they want. You know, you don't know if they brought that shit to Michigan, wholly. Oh, people would burn the state down. Yes. People would riot. Uh, no. It's producer AB yeah. I mean, that would really all let us know in the chat while you're watching today. I had my eyes on the cryptocurrency at large, obviously with the China news, not great.Um, you know, China outlawing cryptocurrency as a whole, I don't know. Uh, so, so in China, there's a funny, I just got a text message from. I mean Uber user, I've never been a driver, uh, asking if I sit, inviting me to be an Uber driver. I wonder if the store, I mean, we're struggling with drivers right now, which could potentially drive up prices of Uber's if there's a shortage of supply.Um, so I don't know. I don't, I hate Uber stock. I just absolutely hate it. We never traded it before. I just. I don't like it. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of any of 'em. Oh, grub hub. Isn't a stock anymore. They're like sold to just eat takeaway, um, dash I don't like any of these companies that are essentially, you know, what a stock I love that we haven't talked about in forever.The most tried and true steady grind stock of all time. Apple game stop. No, I'm just kidding. We haven't talked about it in awhile. Uh, for. No tried and true. Uh, I mean, apple would be my guess, put it up. I'm not even looking at them. I'm looking at my brokerage. Uh vis-a-vis. It just grinds man. And it pays a dividend to the reason why I'm bringing them this one up now is I was just looking through it through my brokerage account of looking at what's up and down.We haven't talked about this one for a while. It pays a dollar 20 a year dividends, not like it's a huge dividend. But it's just one of those stocks that I've owned forever plan on continuing to own forever. This is a five-year charter, zoom it out more. This is a ten-year chart. I mean, there's no quick rips or depths.We had that COVID of course, but generally speaking, I mean, it is a very study stock. It's a highly embedded stock, right. It's tough to work out of the economy. Um, you know, people are going to say crypto could be the thing that would, but I mean, come on, but let let's, let's give it a little bit of time there.Um, But, but visa. Great, great, great stock to sell. Puts against as well study income. You don't get a ton for selling the puts, but again, if you could assign the shares, uh, you're buying the stock below whatever it was trading at whenever you sold the puts and, and you're owning a very, very steady tried and true stock it's is a core holding in my brokerage core holding and we never talked.I mean, yeah. I think the, the, the credit card industry has been huge. We'll see a lot of these continue to grow. Um, why do you prefer visa compared to some of its competitors? I see MC in their MasterCard. No, no reason to tell you the truth. Okay. Now I have the reason look at this. So here's the 10 years.Oh, I didn't hit, see, wait, what's mastered. Oh wait. Oh, I'm a that's right. I'm a very similar chart. No reason. I guess, to tell you the truth visa is a stock that visa or MasterCard. I don't know. I think it would be so let's see. I think I have both. I got two. I have a work card and a personal card on me.Yeah. Both visas. Wow.I have a master Sarabi when we go to Orlando on the eighth. So does that two weeks from today. All right guys, two weeks from today, producer at AB and I are going to hang out in Orlando for a few days. You all should seriously consider coming. It's going to be a lot of fun in twit. Ju Jonah Lupton. It's taken us two.Wait, is it over a weekend? Yeah. Frick. Yeah. Yep. Friday to Sunday. Exactly. We're going to get in Friday night and come home Sunday night. So I'm saying everybody should come hang out with us. Uh, but, but you want to be fun. AB is I've been banking, credit card points, all of COVID.

Nikita Lion is NOT a Barbary lion   She only has two of the 17 DNA markers typical of the Barbary or Atlas Lion.  The Barbary lion is extinct in the wild and only three have been identified as being a high probability of Barbary or Black maned ancestry.  WildLink International looked at 327 lions who exhibited common signs of Barbary, such as bigger, darker manes, bigger bodies overall, black ticking on the golden fur, etc. and determined that only two males and Sarabi the lone female were even close to the Barbary lineage.   Sarabi had 14 of the 17 DNA markers, making her the closest living example of a Barbary lion.  Sadly, Sarabi, died of cancer in 2007, so there are no legitimate breeding programs.   There are many backyard breeders who claim to be breeding Barbary lions and even Wikipedia has a false claim of Barbary cubs in 2010 in Texas, but WildLink International had folded long before then when the King of Morocco died and no legitimate organization has pursued the quest to bring back this extinct species.   Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

Being One With All Who Were, Are or Will Be A letter to Barbara Frank after she asked how I feel so connected to the cats who have died.  Dear Barbara,  Feeling the cats as ever present has come from just being aware.  That was how I first heard from Malachi, Nini, Sarabi and others (while they were alive) and that is what has fueled my desire to let the world know how connected we all are.  That awareness comes from feeling gratitude, which keeps me in a happy frame of mind and that is what opens the doors to experiences that I can only describe as miraculous.  The How To Manual for this is ridiculously simple.  Every morning, before my feet hit the floor I pray a prayer from 1 Chronicles 4: 9-10   “And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that I may do no harm! And God granted him that which he requested. “   The Bible says Jabez was blessed greater than any others because of his prayer.  I add to this prayer a long session on all of the things I am already thankful for;  all the people, all the blessings, all the changes in attitude that I am seeing, etc., and then I start the prayer.  Throughout the day, every time I have a negative thought, such as feeling that others aren't doing what they should (ie: the Vernon Yates and Gloria Johnsons of the world) I stop myself and purposely find 5 or 6 good thoughts even if the best thing I can think of is to say to myself that if it weren't for them there wouldn't be a good example of why we need better laws.   I try to find and FEEL some good thought about them and I don't stop until I have some good feeling about them.  I do this on every negative thought that comes my way.  At first it takes a while and feels like a lie, but what I found is that it quickly becomes habit.  The more I have done this, the more connected to God I have felt.   When I read The Science of Getting Rich it really brought into my awareness that God isn't off in some far off place.  He is the Thinking Stuff (as the author calls Him) that is in all and in between all that we see.  So the space between me and my keyboard right now is God and God is Love.  Then I think about the fact that every cell of my body is mostly space (from a scientific standpoint) so the space in each cell, between the electrons and neutrons is filled with God.  There are lots of references in the Bible to being filled with God but even with 46 years of going to church 3 times a week, I never really FELT this until now.  And Wow!   What a feeling!  What has been really weird is the feeling of being surrounded by all who ever lived and all who ever will live and feeling their presence as clearly and fully as this cat sitting next to me on the floor.  People and animals who I had thought of as dead are more alive than they ever were in their limited earthly form, and it is like they are all this ONEness.   While I often will recognize a presence walking with me as that individual personality, I sometimes have more of a feeling of all being One and being connected to that One.  It is in that state that my best ideas and intuitions give birth.    I still step in and out of this flow, like dipping my foot into a pool and becoming the water, and am working on being the water all the time, because the best things happen when I am feeling love and gratitude.    I am not sure how to share this with others, so I am trying to just be a living example in the hopes that when people see that it works for me, they will try it themselves.   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.     You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

Sarabi was euthanized today due to a very aggressive cancer     I was away and Jamie had to make that call.  I think it may have been the first time for her to have to do such a heart breaking thing.  I wrote the following the the volunteers after the blood work indicated it was cancer and we had to euthanize Sarabi.   You hear a lot of backyard breeders saying that they are breeding Barbary Lions to save them from extinction, but it isn't true.  Many years ago, when the King of Morocco first came up with the idea of bringing the Barbary Lion (AKA Black Maned Lion or Asiatic Lion) back from the edge of extinction, he sent a group called Wildlink to the U.S. to look at 327 captive lions who were reported to have traits of the Barbary Lion.   Of the 327 likely candidates only three were considered pure enough representatives of the species to use for a captive breeding program.  There were two males chosen and Sarabi, our lioness was the only female selected.  She is a representative of 14 of the 17 Barbary traits, making her the closest living relative to the cat that is now extinct in the wild.  Before the program ever got off the ground the King fell sick and his family had no interest in saving the cats who once were used by the Romans for entertainment in the coliseum.   We don't believe in breeding cats for lives in cages so we never bred Sarabi, but because she may someday be called upon for her genes, we did not spay her.  She would cycle in and out of heat and did so for many years.  This last time didn't seem any different than before until she came out of heat and wasn't hungry.   She was started on antibiotics but two days later was not improving.  After an emergency consultation with three vets it was decided that we would open her up to spay her and see if there was anything else going on, such as an impaction, that was causing her to act nauseous.  It was after dark before Dr. Stacie Wadsworth, DVM and Dr. Elizabeth Wynn, DVM could wrap up their day work to come to the sanctuary.  The wind had begun to howl.  The next morning we would discover that 14 people in central Florida  had been killed in the squalls and tornadoes that spun out of those raging winds.   Thanks to Dr. John & Sherrod West and Richard and Debbie Boensch we have a small cat hospital on site.  Since Sarabi was too big to transport into the clinics of either of our vets (394 lbs) we were fortunate to have our own safe place for surgery and recovery that had been built with huge doors that would allow the rolling transport to roll right inside.  Scott Lope and Cathy Mayeski saw to it that the hospital was fully stocked with all that we would need and made sure that everything was clean.  Jamie and Justin Boorstein rounded up flashlights, radios and emergency gear to make the big move from Sarabi's half acre enclosure on the other side of the lake to the cat hospital.   I sat with Sarabi and tried to assess her condition.  She kept giving me the image of “poison” but insisted that she hadn't eaten poison.  She acted like she just couldn't get comfortable.  Sometimes she would dry heave, but only briefly, and then she would lay as close as she could get to me, with only the wall of her cage separating us.  She rolled her belly up to me as if to say that this was where the pain was, and I could feel the heat, but did not touch her for fear of inflicting more pain.  (Not to mention the fact that having my arm inside the fence would have been a really stupid thing to do.)   Scott did an expert job of anesthetizing and I was amazed at how well trained our staff has become in emergencies like this.  On radio command they all emerged from the darkness:  The transport truck backed up to her cage, the golf carts surrounded it, she was lifted onto a blanket and hoisted into the transport by half a dozen volunteers, while some held lights and others carried the drugs and tools.  In no time she was being brought into the bright lights of the cat hospital and placed on a table that we had designed just for this very purpose.   This emergency crew had worked together before everyone knew what to do.  Cathy began shaving the belly while Justin, Jess and others began restraining her legs.  Scott held her mouth open while Dr. Stacie fitted her with tracheal pipe for gas.  Dr.  Wynn made a makeshift mouth piece for Sarabi by using two regular, full size gas masks, as caps over her canines so that she wouldn't bite her tongue or cut off the air supply in her sleep.  Barbara Frank and Becky Gagliardo filled syringes with fluids and an IV drip was installed.  Brian filmed the scene to share with other big cat vets and students.  Sarabi was sleeping like a kitten.  Everyone had watched The Secret recently and was reminding each other to only think happy thoughts.   Palpitation of her abdomen revealed a hard mass, the size of a loaf of bread.  It was apparent that this was the source of the problem, but what was it?  Surgery revealed a huge area of necrotic (dead) tissue and that could be one of two things.  It could be an enormously invasive cancer or the result of a snake bite.  It would be days before a lab could verify the cause of the affliction, so a hard decision had to be made:  Cut out the tumor and have a huge gaping hole in her belly for her to contend with or install three drains and pray that it was a snake bite.   If we were to find out the next week that it was cancer, we would have to euthanize her and her last week would have been one of misery after such invasive surgery and then the issue of trying to close up such a huge wound.  If we were to find out it was a snake bite, then the tissue will slough off anyway and cutting away at it tonight was not going to speed up the recovery any.  There were no fang marks, but I was told that if the bite had been a few days ago, the holes would not be apparent now.  The vets asked me what I wanted to do, but I told them that they were the experts and that I trusted their judgment.  We opted for drains.   Scott took the first watch with her and was relieved later by Jamie and Justin.  I took the watch the following day.  All doped up to feel no pain, Sarabi drifts in and out of sleep.  I feel each breath she takes as she exhales on my skin.  I drift back in time and think of all we have been through together…   She arrived in 1995 as a tiny, two week old cub.  The people who bred her claimed to be running a sanctuary but were selling her and Mufasa at an exotic animal auction for 150.00.  They were so strung out on drugs that they were trying force feed her curdled milk and Sarabi was resisting mightily.  It was never our intention to rescue big cats, but my late husband couldn't leave her in the hands of such incompetence and brought them home to me.  We would learn later that you can't buy a cat out of even the worst situation because it just continues to fuel the breeding and selling, but 12 years ago we didn't see the big picture.   We had a house full of rescued bobcats and lynx who had come from the last fur farm rescue we did in 1995.  More than 20 youngsters had the run of the house.  Lions being the pride animals they are were more than happy to be adopted by these older, yet smaller furballs.  The bobcats would all pile up on the bed into a purring heap of fur and the smaller ones had to be pulled out of the stack periodically for fear of them being crushed by the weight.  The little lions were too small to jump up onto the bed and would pace, frantically screaming, for me to lift them up into the pile with the others.  They were more than happy to be on the bottom of the stack and would dive right in.  I don't think I will ever forget what it felt like to see Sarabi and Mufasa so happy in their makeshift family pride of bobcats and lynx.   Once one bobcat was awake, the whole group would spring to life and go racing through the halls and out into the fenced yard via a pet door.  The little lions would again be screaming to be put down on the floor to join them and every where the bobcats went the toddling lions were right behind them.  The lions were floor bound where the bobcats were leaping off door jambs, furniture and window sills.  Sometimes I would see Mufasa and Sarabi pause by the mirrored closet doors to talk with their reflections.  When the bobcats were just too aloof, the reflections always wanted to talk with them.   Weaning the bobcats from the bottle to meat was a pretty quick process that ended up with a couple of days of feeding a warm mush of meat and milk from my hand to their lips.  Once they got the idea they would lap it up from a plate and within a week the milk was no longer needed.  Lions, on the other hand, were a much messier process.  It became such an ordeal that I would put on a swimsuit and sit in the bath tub with them.  By the end of each meal we all had to shower off in the tub.  Doing that four times a day got old in a hurry for me, but the cubs just loved it.   In time the lions weighed more than I did and sleeping on the bed with the bobcats was not a viable option for the bobcats.  I remember the first cage that we built for them.  All of the reference books said that lions don't like the water, so we build a cage that was an acre in size and consisted of three sides and the lake as the fourth side.  Sarabi and Mufasa were too big to move in carriers and back then we didn't have the transport wagons so we decided to walk them on leashes from their backyard area to their new cage.  They wouldn't go anywhere without each other, so one person had to walk both of them or they would get so freaked out at the prospect of being separated that they would only hang onto each other.  I had both of them leashed and as soon as the gate was open it was like skiing behind a twin engine boat.   As we bolted across 20 acres and into the new enclosure, I released the collars and watched them both go flying across the cage… and into the lake. Dang!  I guess all of that weaning in the bath tub had imprinted on them that water is great fun and the books just didn't apply to them.  Perplexed we had to round them up before they hit the other side of the lake and the only things available were a Jon boat and a canoe.  Floating bathtubs looked like even more fun.  The rowdy pair began trying to climb up into the boats and it was all we could do to keep them upright while herding the cats back into their enclosure.  By this time you can imagine how tired I was, but had to leash them back up and ski back to their backyard home, until we could build a fourth wall on their new enclosure.   We went through some sad times too.  When Mufasa died under anesthesia for a simple X-ray at the Gainesville University Vet Center so many years ago, I thought it would kill Sarabi too.  She wailed for weeks and moped for months.  Nothing could console her.  She hugged my neck so tightly every time I saw her, as if she feared that I would disappear from her life like he had, if she ever let go.  I used to love her hugs but these were just heart breaking.  In time I learned that no matter how much I may love her, it was reckless to indulge my need for contact and risk her life and that of every cat in the sanctuary if I should be killed.  Each of us had lost our life's mates, but we had each other and eventually we both pulled through.   In time we both learned to love again, but in time it was Sarabi who relived the pain of losing the one she adored.   We had been boarding a lion who belonged to a woman (Susan Aronoff) who lived in a condo, but when she took him away, Sarabi felt the sting of loss once more.  Now her friends are a silly young lioness named Nikita, next door and the tigers from the circus.  At night Sarabi leads them all in a multi racial choir of roars that echo across the lake.   The most important lesson that I learned from Sarabi is that she and her kind do not belong in cages.  They have their own agenda and amusing us wouldn't be a part of it if they were free to make their own homes, choose their own mates and raise their own families.  They have a precious life to live and a legacy to leave and our job is to make sure that we don't destroy the planet that is their birthright too.

Where the Sand Cats Came From   Photo is Jamie with me at WildNet Conference.  These Bird of Paradise flowers were out front of a cafe along the street)   Dear Lynn,  During Desert Storm the Saudi government sent some Sand Cats to my friend, Pat Quillen at S.O.S. Care in CA.  Pat travels the world, working with in situ programs and governments in places where no white woman would have the courage to go.  She has been shot at by poachers, exposed to all sorts of challenges, and has done wonderful things to get people in power to see the financial prospects of protecting their wildlife, rather than allowing people to kill the small cats for food or sport.  Up until 9/11 I was supporting her breeding facility so that she could afford to travel the world and set up these important alliances.  She introduced me to contacts in Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama and to Dr. Jim Sanderson with the hopes that I could take over for her when she is gone.  She is aged and ailing.  I rely on tourism to support Big Cat Rescue and after 9/11 things have not been the same.  I had to stop providing all of her income and she felt abandoned.  She is civil to me, but I have lost the closeness with her that I once enjoyed.   The Saudi government had sent the cats to her because of her great reputation and asked that she protect them until after the war.  The soldiers were using them for target practice and they had been wiped out of every other country in the region, except for Saudi Arabia.  After the war she offered to send them and all of their offspring back.  The Saudi government said they had never been able to breed these cats in captivity and requested that she keep them here, build their numbers, put them into the Species Survival Plan (SSP) that is the only real conservation breeding plan and is administered only in AZA zoos.  They did this in case they are ever fully wiped out in the wild, so that they can once again populate areas once they are safer.   Almost all of the Sand Cats in U.S. zoos are from this group that Pat brought in.  She sent five of them to us in case anything ever happened to her place.  Last year wildfires burned her facility to the ground.  Fortunately she was able to get all of the cats to safety and last I heard from her she had rebuilt all of her cages and was looking for a RV to live in next to them.  She only breeds small cats and she only breeds cats that are recommended by the Felid Taxon Advisory Group.  (Felid TAG).   The Felid TAG looks at the pedigree of the cat to see if it can be traced back to the wild.  They look at how many specimens are available in the U.S. or participating zoos around the world to see if there are a viable number to be able to successfully breed the cat in captivity without causing too much inbreeding.  I worked with the Felid TAG to help them determine just how many of each cat specie there are in captivity that is viable for breeding and how much cage space is available in the accredited zoos and sanctuaries to allow for the optimum breeding.   Horseshoe Creek claims to have bred 72 Asian leopards for conservation purposes, but the Felid TAG only recommends the breeding of Amur Leopards that can be traced back to the wild by their pedigrees.  There is no Asian Leopard conservation breeding program and no SSP for Asian or African Leopards.  Leopards are bred and sold for only five reasons:  Pets, Circus Acts, Roadside Zoos, Photo Ops/Parties as cubs and Canned Hunts.  The bottom line is that they are bred into a miserable life in captivity because people will pay money for them.  We had to turn away 49 leopards last year and that number doubles every year.   Tabby Tigers and Ligers are not pure bred cats, and in the case of the Tabbies are highly inbred.  It is because the zoos caved into pressure by the public to see white tigers that they were ever bred or displayed in zoos and the result was that there is not one pure bred Bengal tiger in the U.S. left for real conservation purposes.  More here:  http://www.bigcatrescue.org/white_tigers.htm  The only reason these tigers are bred is the same as for all of the big cats.  We had to turn away 166 tigers (many of them white) last year and that number doubles every year.   Three of the Sand Cat offspring from Pat have been returned to the wild, but it is rare that returning a top level carnivore to the wild is successful.  Pat never had rears kittens.  The only chance they have in the wild is to be raised by their mothers on a diet of live prey, which is what she does and what we are currently doing with Faith the bobcat.  http://www.bigcatrescue.org/cat_tales_Mar04.htm  To succeed in the wild a cat cannot associate humans with food or it will ultimately mean the death of the cat.   My favourite person in the field is Dr. Jim Sanderson and you can see him on most of our pages about saving small cats, such as the Pampas Cat, the Golden Cats and the Andean Mountain Cat.  He was the first person to photograph the Andean Mountain Cat which had been thought to have gone extinct many, many years ago.  We met up with him and Jane Goodall, Ron and Darla, Laurie Marker and all of our heroes who are really doing things in the wild, like Pat did, to help the small cats, the snow leopards, the Amur Leopards and cheetahs.  Jamie and I attended their benefit last year in CA that was hosted by wildnet.org  You can read about all of the conservation programs there.  We solicit money for these people as well and 100% of what comes in ear marked for each project goes directly to the person in the field for camera traps, and such things as materials for the locals to build pens and corrals that keep their livestock safe from predation and the cats safe from retribution.  It is very difficult to raise money for these efforts because people want the warm fuzzy of being able to say they sponsored a particular cat and don't care about one they haven't met in a jungle far away.  I'd like to do far more in this arena and will someday, but for right now my mission is clear.   There is no excuse for animals languishing in back yard cages and basements, road side zoos and pseudo sanctuaries and I can do something to stop that.  Working with The Association of Sanctuaries and the Captive Wild Animal Protection Coalition we were able to get a law passed last December that makes it illegal to sell big cats across state lines as pets.  I think this is why  there are so many cougar sightings all over the country now in places that haven't had wild populations in 100 years.  Now that people cannot profit off the cats by breeding and selling they are just turning them loose.  The sanctuaries are full and under funded.  There is no other option but euthanasia and that is expensive to people who never cared about the cats in the first place.  The law passed in December and since the first of the year there has been at lease one wild cat sighting every day in the news across the country.   After my experience with Sarabi, I cannot morally breed any cat for conservation purposes, because the cat I breed is not going to be the one to benefit and who am I to bring a spirit into being for a life of confinement.  The chances are very slim that we will be able to conserve land for the cats' return (except deserts) and even if we could there are plenty of cats frozen for test tube reincarnation if we ever do.  I believe, with current technology,  that even the SSP's are only to insure that zoos have animals to display to paying patrons and I just can't justify that.  Some of our rescues are SSP rejects, such as the Clouded Leopards, Snow Leopards and Pallas Cats.  When faced with more than 300 cats each year who need to be rescued, I have opted to take in these more rare cats who were no longer needed in SSP programs over more common cats.  This is always a tough decision because it can't be based on need.  They all need a safe place and there are very few out there that won't make matters worse by breeding and selling.   The Captive Wild Animal Safety Act that was passed into law was just the first step.  The way the breeders are getting around it is to have the pet buyers get a USDA license and call themselves a sanctuary and then they sell the big cats across state lines.  This year we are working to close some of those gaps.  Carole   Dear Carole,  Thanks again for all the wonderful info, which I have briefly scanned, will print, re-read and ingest later. (I've got a binder running that contains copies of all of our emails.) I became aware of SSP & SSC during my brief class time at the zoo.   Now is the appropriate time to tell you this. Last week was a very tough week for me, mind/body/spirit. You are aware of the zoo decision I made, the other tough decision I made was making my exit from logging volunteer time at Horseshoe Creek. Darryl is a major offender of so many things. The welfare of his animals in NOT his #1 priority, but you knew this already. I'm in mourning. My heart is breaking leaving all of the animals I spent many hours befriending. I'm terribly missing the love & nurturance they gave me. Dale does not support his brother on several levels. He's an emotional captive to HC; i.e., he worries so about the animals, he helps Darryl knowing that he is enabling him to continue his ill practices. Dale is in a very tough position.  - Lynn   Dear Lynn,  I sort of expected that you had left or were leaving HC based upon some of your letters.  I wasn't entirely sure how you would take what I had to say, but thought I should let you know before you drove all the way here.   I can see that this would have been a very tough week for you on many levels.  So many people stay and help in these places because they love the animals.  It is hard to seemingly turn your back on them in order to take a stand against the abuse.  I can assure you that you will have ample opportunity here to right the wrongs that have been done to them and others like them without helping the abuse to continue.  Your spirit connection to those animals will let them know that you are working for their liberation even though you are separated by time and space.   I am sure you are no stranger to remote viewing and it is how I connect to my sick cats when I am away.  You will always be close to the animals you loved there and they, being much better at this time and space travel than we are, will have the comfort of your love and in knowing what you are doing for them and all who would come after them.   - Carole   Dear Carole,  Thank you.  Through tears, I find comfort in your words. - Lynn   Pat Quillen had invited me to the Felid TAG in the late 90s as she was a member.  They wanted to do a survey of all AZA zoos to find out how many cats were at each, what kind, and what cat cage space was available.  No one wanted to take on that nightmare of a task.  Eager to make myself useful, I volunteered.  This is how I got my first peek behind the curtain as to where all these cats were, what kind of cages they were in, and what was being done to breed them via the Species Survival Plans.   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.     You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

Alafia Carole, I made a tough decision earlier today. I've decided it is in my best interest to back out of the Zoology/Docent Training program I'm enrolled in at the Central Florida Zoo. Why? I actually discovered Big Cat Rescue on the Internet the day before I was scheduled to go through class orientation at the Zoo. My heart instinct told me to scrap the Zoo and get on board with BCR; however, my head said it wasn't logical to scrap my zoo plans considering my knowledge of BCR was only via the Internet.   I spent a good amount of time the other day reading your website. Once again, I am so impressed with you. I respect your love and dedication to serving animals & value an organized leader. (The red, yellow, green traffic light inspired volunteer tee shirt system is brilliant.) I also respect the fact that you have suffered and overcome adversity with courage and perseverance. Overcoming adversity with courage and perseverance means that you are strong and humble; a rare and powerful balance, especially in a leader.   Though I appreciate the role the Central Florida Zoo serves, it's a sterile environment. I can't evolve and flourish in a sterile environment. Based on what I discovered about you the other day and your Sarabi & Mufasa experience, I know you are Spirit conscious, and since you're at the helm of BCR, sight unseen, I know Spirit abounds on the grounds of BCR.   Long story short... I'm asking you to humor me one last time with a 'behind the scenes tour' reschedule. In order to accommodate the Zoo, I arranged my schedule so that I could be free on Wednesdays through April 14. Ergo, I'm available to meet you on any Wednesday of your choosing: March 17, March 24, March 31, April 7, or April 14.  I apologize for being a nuisance. I'm not flaky, in order to launch Shaman Safari in 12 months, I must be time and choice conscious.  - Lynn (I don't remember her last name and her websites are now defunct)   If you have time, I'm curious... Lynn's questions are in italics.   What species, other than feline, reside at BCR? 6 Binturong, 2 African and 2 Palm Civets, 10 Lemurs(8 ringtailed, 2 blk & wht) , 4 Llamas, a horse that some people refer to as an old soul, (people who you wouldn't even guess would think such a thing), deer, 3 Patagonian cavies, 2 swans (of course), ducks, a coati and a genet.  I won't take in any animal other than cats, but some of these were before we became as focused and others have been left at our gate.  Our operations manager who lives on site has a boxer.  I think one of our on site keepers has a skunk.   When you acquired Windsong in 1992, did you have a Class 2 license? If so, how did you obtain said license; i.e., what training granted you this license?  From 1980 until 1992 I had Himalayan show cats and we traveled the country getting their grand championships.  My cats were raised under foot and I often thought that their success in the show ring had much more to do with their purrsonalities than their genetics.  I didn't like the direction the breed took when they decided that the cats should look like Persians with flat faces and all of the defects that go along with extreme breeding and quit breeding and showing in 1984.   I always was involved with cattery rescues where crazy cat ladies (gosh, do people call me that?) would end up with more cats than they could care for.  I was often asked to negotiate their removal and then had lots and lots of trips to the vet to clean the cats up and find proper homes.  Because I spent so much time in vets offices with cattery cats that had absolutely no use for people, the vets soon learned that if a bobcat was injured they could set a leg in 30 minutes and turn over the 6 months of rehab care to me.  I had to get a rehab permit from the state to do that.  I didn't know that until much later, but that is how I got my initial permit for class 2.   How did you work up to obtaining Class 1 licensing?  That was a legal battle.  We got a call from a man in PA (I think) who had two baby leopards and no permit.  The state gave him a limited time to place the cats or they would have to be euthanized.  The state regs said that you have to have experience with an animal of similar size, diet requirements and temperament and I had cougars that weighed nearly 200 pounds and were considered quite dangerous when they had come to us, so I applied for Class 1, based on the years of experience with the cougars.  As the days came to an end for the leopard cubs I called FFFWCC and they said my permit for Class I was in the mail and to go ahead and pick up the cats.  I did and a couple weeks later, when the permit had not arrived, I contacted FFFWCC again and they said they had erred and it wouldn't be coming because a cougar wasn't similar enough to a leopard.  I asked what I was supposed to do about the leopards and the state came out and confiscated them.   I asked that they be sent to Delores Newman, a big cat mentor who we often took food to and built cages for so that I could work with the cubs and get my hours there.  The state instead sent them to Vernon Yates of Wildlife Rescue in St. Pete, who refused to let me visit, bring our food or work with them.  He sold the cubs before the lawsuit ever reached an end.  He calls himself a sanctuary and when ever the state wants to confiscate a cat they call him.  He then sells the animal and breeds and sells tiger cubs as well which just adds to the problem.  We became embroiled in a lawsuit with the state that lasted for years.  Meanwhile I was taking care of our cats and then running over to Delores' almost every day to clean her cages, feed her cats and get the hours I needed to become permitted.  I finally got the hours and the permit, but the cats had been sold and suing Vernon Yates was not going to get the cats back, so I dropped it.  Delores Newman just recently gave away all of her cats after falling and breaking her hip.  She was in her 80's.  I have been paying her property taxes for her for years because her children wouldn't support her as long as she had cats, but now that the cats are gone, they will take over her care.   If you're interested in learning more about me before me meet, I'm gonna supply you with the links to my two websites. The first site contains information regarding my spiritual counseling, healing & instruction practice: Mirror Image. The second site is a concise, yet in-depth overview of a book I've written & illustrated: Conviction of the Heart. (Currently in quasi, self-published format.)   1st site: www.mi-spirit.com 2nd site: www.convictionoftheheart.com   I read both site through and would love to buy a copy of your book if you will bring one with you.  I am so thrilled to have the chance to meet you after learning a little more about you.  It is a rare thing to find a person of such inner beauty, clarity and focus.   The man I had broken up with in the Sarabi story was Peter, a Chiropractor and someone who was very well read in subjects of spirituality, healing, radionics, colour therapy, underground currents, magnetic forces, dream interpretation, and the list goes on and on.  When he moved in with me he brought 10 floor to ceiling bookcases full of these books.  I don't think he actually read them, so it is unfair to say he was well read, but he possessed them and I spent months reading everything I could.  Until then I had always just thought I was some sort of freak.  I didn't know there was anyone else who could touch a person or a wall and know what the person felt or what the wall had seen.  I have always felt like there was just this open phone line between God and I and never felt the need to “go to God in prayer”.  It was like a constant dialog and had saved my skin many times.  I always referred to the warnings as being “that still small voice” although it was often more than still and small.   To say the least, I am very new to all of this.  I am new to the realization that there are lots of us.  I've experienced it forever and tried to encourage it in my own daughter because I think people kill the ability in their children to really know themselves by insisting that certain feelings or perceptions are not normal.  (or are downright weird.  What do you mean the rock told you about Indians that used to live here?) Our vet often comments that she has never seen anyone perform the miracles of healing with our cats that Jamie does.  She can talk to the animals and I have always tried to support her ability to do so.   I agree that we all have this ability to connect with the Divine at some level.  One of the things that Easy Street has brought to light for me is how so many people, who have no understanding of spiritual matters, recognize a connection with the animals.  This is the connection that is the focus of what I am trying to do.  The realization that we are all one.  This was in my mission statement, but my advisors tell me that it is just too esoteric and won't generate the donations we need to do real work, but it is at the heart of my own personal mission.  If I can help people come to the conclusion that we are all one, starting with an animal that they want to be one with; an animal that represents strength, beauty and all that is natural, then it only naturally begins to extend to the animals they eat and wear and hopefully, ultimately,  to the humans that we share existence with.   We just recently had a zoning application approved, but that process started as the dream of creating a place of physical and emotional healing where people could come to make that connection with the cats and start them on their journey to wellness and peace.  With the Moffit Cancer Center so close by, I felt that this would be an obvious first choice of people to reach out to and we have done some PR work there, but much more needs to be done.  So many people have come here after a death or divorce or when they were sick and said, “I looked into the cat's eyes, and I saw God!”   Nothing happens by coincidence and after reading about you I am sure that you were meant to be a part of this awakening.   1997 was the year I lost my husband, who had been my best friend since I was 19, and I lost my grandfather to brain cancer.  The women in our family have never died before the age of 100 so cancer was never a consideration to me until it struck so close to home and so quickly in 1997 with my grandfather.  A lot of our cats die from cancer and the vet said it is because we feed human grade meat.  Scary thought.  For 3 months we raised our own chickens, organically with no antibiotics and no hormones, but we couldn't create a big enough bird to feed the cats without the drugs and had to abandon the project.  The back 20 acres of our parcel was renamed, Return To Eden for this project and the organic farming was only the first step toward what I wanted for a healing center that would have included dormitories, a health and fitness center, counseling rooms, and space for massage therapist, a chiropractor and other healers.  Our new zoning allows me a 64,000 square foot building and 20 dorm rooms.  Only funds and some access issues are in the way.  In the Power Point presentation that I originally did for the county one of the slides was entitled: Mind/Body/Spirit.   Girl, my head is swimming! So much to say in response to your words, I'm challenged organizing it all. I predict we're gonna enter a time warp when we get together on Tuesday; meaning, time will seem to stand still while we journey at 1000 mph.   Your proposed Healing Center is spot-on n'sync with my visions & dreams. I feel working in conjunction with you & BCR, regarding Shaman Safari, is the purrfect venue to help you logistically & financially materialize your Healing Center vision. I know, all too well, the difficult balance of fusing business with the spiritual. Your advisors advised you well in suggesting you 'outwardly' modify your mission statement so it not be esoteric. We've got a match made in heaven here, literally. Under the umbrella of Shaman Safari, you and I can build the foundation of the spiritual stuff you envision for BCR. Then, when SS proves its 'magic', you can outwardly profess your BCR spiritual mission claim. This way, Shaman Safari (me), can bear the brunt of trial & error without defamation of BCR's reputation or lost revenue, and in return, you supply me with an animal laboratory (in a manner of speaking) to test and experiment my ideas before taking them public via Shaman Safari. I've already started testing & experimenting (ceremony & energy work) with the Asian Leopard Clan at Horseshoe Creek, and have experienced some amazing things.   My plan is to give you two full days a week, back-to-back, doing chores during the day at BCR, spending the night in between in a tent on site. With your permission of course, the night that I spend on property, I will engage in testing & experimenting (ceremony & energy work) with your animals. As for the weekly, two days I'd like to devote to you & BCR, I'm thinking Sundays & Mondays, so I can attend the monthly volunteer meeting. I assume you have more coverage on weekends vs. during the week, so, if you prefer that I devote Mondays & Tuesdays, that's cool with me, but then I couldn't attend the monthly v-meetings. If this all appeals to you, I'll leave it up to you to decide which days would be the most beneficial to BCR.   I would love for you to read my book. I'm in the process of doing a revision before I print up some more copies. I'd prefer that you wait to read the revised version. In the meantime, I've attached Conviction of the Heart's introduction, epilogue, author's postscript, and a verbal explanation of the illustration that follows the author's postscript. I included the author's postscript and the illustration that follows it in response to your words, "I have always felt like there was just this open phone line between God and I and never felt the need to 'go to God in prayer'. It was like a constant dialog and had saved my skin many times. I always referred to the warning as being 'that still small voice' although it was often more than still and small." Well written! Kenny Loggins is one of my favorite musicians. He wrote something on the jacket of his Leap of Faith CD that is one of my fav quotes...   "Be still and listen to the voice, in truth we do the best we can. We are not man in search of God, but God in search of man."

Twenty minutes and a 175 page book changed my life tonight.  I broke up with Peter Kent yesterday and chose to avoid him until he had some time to cool down and collect his thoughts.  I came home today after morning services hoping that we could talk reasonably and settle the matter of his moving out, but he still has not come home, called or emailed.  I felt compelled to read a book I just bought called “Only Love Is Real” by Brian L. Weiss, M.D. even though it was not next on my list.   Weiss spoke of how soul mates recognize each other when they look into each other's eyes and sometimes even before that.  I thought of  my boyfriend's words from his profile, “My spirit will know her when we meet”.  I loved him from that day and was sure he was my soul mate.  Meeting him threw me off, because his eyes seemed veiled to me, like he was hiding something.  His words struck chords that my soul had longed to hear again, but his eyes were always distant somehow.  Only recently have I felt that I could see him, or that he was seeing me, when our eyes met, but by then the damage had been done to my trust and it was too late.   The book mentioned chronic pain and without my boyfriend in my life I have found myself fearful of reverting to the bone crushing headaches, the agonizing menstrual pain and the paralyzing pain in my lower, middle back.  How would I cope with this pain without my boyfriend's skills as a Chiropractor and Acupuncturist to relieve it?  Dr. Weiss suggested that chronic pain is often the result of a previous life injury and is sort of a reminder to remember who we were and why we are here now.   I looked around the room at the Icart's on the wall and the flair for the 1920's and 1930's that pervades my life in choices of clothing, art, furniture and cars.  I remembered the reoccurring dream of committing suicide by driving my convertible at top speed into the rock face at the top of a mountain road.  I remember the impact, feeling the steering column crush into my abdomen and through me.  I remember the bone crushing impact of my head with the dash and collapsing windshield.  I remember the anger of having been jilted and swearing that no man would ever do that to me again.  I was arrogant, superficial, wealthy and full of anger at having been betrayed.  I couldn't cope with the feelings and took my own life with a sense of indignant revenge.  The dream ends with me floating above my body, incredulous at my self destruction.  I have had the dream many times and since my amnesia even wondered if it happened in this life and I had survived.   That could explain volumes.  It would probably be my most recent death and would explain all of my pain.  The car I loved most in the world was a 1937 Mercedes Gazelle convertible that Don bought for me.  Don was born the year that type of car was new.  I loved that car like I have never loved any possession.  I drove it so carefully and loved the feel of the wind in my hair.  I had a similar one before, but it didn't “feel” right and I sold it in only a month or two.  After Don's disappearance, I was selling off the equipment and cars and one of the dealers kept pestering me to sell him my little roadster.  I finally did and rationalized to myself that I would have killed myself in it anyway.  It was a kit car on a Taurus frame, with a VW engine.  I drove it like a little old lady.  What would have possessed me to think such a thing or to part with the car I loved so much?   The author went on to tell how he regressed patients through past lives using a hall with doors on either side and he would tell his client that each door represented a life or an important memory.  He would instruct them to wait until a door opened and then go through it and look at their shoes.  From there they would describe themselves and then the relevant scene that was unfolding.   I have been told that you can't meditate with an agenda and that whatever is most important will happen of its own accord, but thinking myself more disciplined, I figured I could go back to the moments before the crash and figure out where the rage came from and what I could learn from the scene.  I went out to the hot tub hoping the warmth of the water would enhance that in utero passage, but the filter motor was on and annoying me.  I couldn't concentrate.  I walked myself down the familiar 15 steps, but this time they were much broader than they have been while I was in hypnotherapy with Herb Hamilton.  I stood in the hall, waiting for a door to open for what seemed eons, but the filter was drawing my attention away and I was about to give up when the last door on the right opened.  I ran for it and looked at my feet.   I still had ugly feet but these were dirtier and more tan.  They were more even toed than mine and they were bound in twine like sandals.  My hair was black and long and I wore a white dress that looked like a sheet tied with a rope at the waist.  I looked up and saw the coliseum full of drunken spectators.  They were blood thirsty and screaming.  My hands were bound and my feet were shackled such that I could walk, but not freely.  I was tied to several others who were garbed like me.  There were men, women and children of all ages.   We were Christians and these Romans hated us.  They didn't understand us.  One on one, we could reach them with the Truth, but in howling masses like this there was no hope for them.  I knew we were here to be killed by lions, but I was at peace.  I knew what was on the other side and this moment would be brief and painless.  My loved ones were not with me and I had no thought about those I would be leaving behind.  Perhaps there were none.  The others were afraid and tried to run, pulling each other down.  The children were the first to fall and the lions dove in for them first, ripping them apart.  My heart went out to the children in their fear but also to the cats that had been starved and tortured to insure that they would do their job this day.  I saw others in the group being mauled and ripped limb from limb.  Although I was attached to them, I was not pulled down.  I knew to stay face to face with the great cats and to not let them get behind me.  (How did I know that?) A huge male was snarling menacingly just inches from my face, but I did not back away.  I dropped my gaze in submission to let him know that I was not his aggressor.  The lionesses and another male circled me.   I heard Susan Aronoff's words, “Look into her eyes…she's an old soul.”  I looked up and saw Sarabi looking back at me with all of the love that she looks at me with now.  She was there to let me know that I was not alone.   I looked for Mufasa.  I knew he would be here too, and he was.  His eyes spoke the same comfort to me.  I had done my job, this life was over and they were here to see me to the other side.  I turned my back on the aggressive lion and stared back with recognition and appreciation at Sarabi.  The angry lion took my neck into his great jowls and with one quick and painless thrust of his canines through my neck and spinal cord my spirit was released.  (I broke my neck in an auto accident when I was 16).   I began to cry, gently at first for the loving spirits that they were to see me through, but then I thought of Mufasa's death.  I had ridden in the back of my pick up in his cage with him all the way from Tampa to Gainesville.  I held him closely, my face buried in his mane.  I told him I would be there for him.  I knew I was going to lose him, even though he was only supposed to be going in for X-rays.  I stayed with him until he was asleep, under anesthesia.  The vets made me leave him there that night and I got the call the next morning that he was dead.  My tears now became more violent as I cursed myself for not staying with him like he had done for me.  I knew before the call that he was dead.  He had come to me to let me know, just minutes before.   Susan might be the most unenlightened person I have ever met, but her words ring in my ears every time I see a photo of Sarabi and Mufasa and every time I look into Sarabi's eyes.  The lesson in that is that even the dullest person has reason for his or her existence and that no one should be discounted.  It is ironic to note that Sarabi was chosen as the cat most closely resembling the extinct Barbary Lion when the King of Morocco sent Wildlink to the U.S. to look at 327 lions in zoos across the nation.  They only selected two for the reintroduction program and Sarabi was the female.  I thought it strange that the rarest cat in the world would be living here on Easy Street.  The Barbary Lions were the cats used to kill Christians in Rome.   I remembered the grief that Sarabi went through when Mufasa did not return.  She had strength and will beyond description to break free of her half-acre cage to go to him.  I could not console her.  We grieved together, but maybe her more so, because I think she was the more enlightened soul.  I remembered how both of them always hugged my neck so tightly, as if they never wanted to let go.  I thought back to the day Sarabi nearly killed me by accident when she hugged me around the chest, instead of my neck, and I couldn't breathe.  That was the last time I went in with her and I have missed her hugs more than any human touch that I have ever encountered.   My tears then came as great heaving sobs.  I hardly recognized my own voice as I wailed.  How I love them both!   How horrible that this beautiful spirit is confined to a prison cell her entire life, separated from her soul mate and only able to make contact with me at my discretion.  I thought of all the wondrous spirits of all the cats that I have felt such a strong connection with.   I wondered if we have been lovers, parent and child or siblings over the eons and now they are confined to live out their majesty in the confines of a prison with no hope of release and no hope of ever being able to connect with the others that they too have loved.  And those are just the cats I know.  What about all of the cats that I look at, and love, but do not recognize?  What lives have they given up to teach us the importance of love, compassion, respect and responsibility?   I am confined to only seeing cats with this ability.  What of all the animals?  All of them here at our pleasure, some to be eaten, others to be worn, others to be killed for sport, others to be gawked at in zoos and entertainment, some to endure the misery of research, others to be abandoned as pets…  The list of ways that we are cruel are endless.   All of this happened in 20 minutes, but it forever changed the way I see these animals and it strengthened my resolve to see to it that the lesson they have to teach is heard.   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.     You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

From Disney “Live Action,” director Jon Favreau's all-new "The Lion King" journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother-and former heir to the throne-has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.Director: Jon FavreauWriters: Jeff Nathanson (screenplay by), Brenda ChapmanStarring:Donald Glover...Simba (voice)Beyoncé...Nala (voice) (as Beyoncé Knowles-Carter)Chiwetel Ejiofor...Scar (voice)John Oliver...Zazu (voice)James Earl Jones...Mufasa (voice)John Kani...Rafiki (voice)Alfre Woodard...Sarabi (voice)JD McCrary...Young Simba (voice)Shahadi Wright Joseph...Young Nala (voice)Penny Johnson Jerald...Sarafina (voice)Keegan-Michael Key...Kamari (voice)Eric André...Azizi (voice)Florence Kasumba...Shenzi (voice)Seth Rogen...Pumbaa (voice)Billy Eichner...Timon (voice)Chance the Rapper...Bush Baby (voice) (as Chance Bennett)We discuss Disney's "live action" The Lion King.

Back in NYC this week like:In this edition:An oldie but a goodie.A comparison of implements.A gig for Friday in NYC.a lumberjack has no use for a butterknife.I was surrounded by horn players last night. Great ones. Saxes, trumpets… they can play lead or blend into a nice punchy section in a funk band. The sound is loud and faces forward. The horn is always ready to cleave through space and make its sonic dent.Likewise the electric guitar. The guitar can play lead or rhythm or chords… or all of the above! The guitar is always integral to the band and central to most industrialized music of the last 100 years. Wielding their axes, guitarists are the lumberjacks of our modern musical age, clearing the forest so we can forge our way forward.(And what are drums but the guns of musical colonization? They’re everywhere.)But the cello? The cello is more like a butterknife. It requires certain circumstances in order to shine: the sound requires headroom, the player is better off seated. If the butter is soft at room temperature then the butterknife will more than excel at its job. But you’d never use it to cut any trees down.The cello is refined and begs a refined place, it needs a lot of parameters to be met which the horns, drums and guitars of our modern age do not need. The cello works best in a prepared, climate controlled, echoey space.Out in the wilderness we are dependent on (and at the mercy of) our drummers, horn players and guitarists. They clear the way and build the world. Respect to that.But once the world is built? Give yourself the gift of a little cello.Because you earned it....This Friday in NYC:Friday 6/14 in New York City: gina Breedlove “Naked Soul” at the Rubin Museum“The potent, powerful medicine of sound can shift and move stuck energy out of the body, creating opportunity for wellness, presence, clarity, and so much more.” —gina Breedlove Medicine woman gina Breedlove is a singer, songwriter, sound healer, and actor from Brooklyn. gina began performing professionally at age 16, singing background for the inimitable Phyllis Hyman.

(Hakuna Matata) Here are thirteen thi-ings! What a wonderful phrase! Here are thirteen thi-ings! Ain't no passin craze! It means more knowledge, for the rest of your days. It's our Lion King, philosophy. Here are thirteen thi-ings! A few weeks before the film opened, Elton John was given a special screening. Noticing that the film's love song had been left out, he successfully lobbied Jeffrey Katzenberg to have the song put back in. Later, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" won him an Academy Award for Best Original Song. The team working on the film was supposedly Disney's "team B," who were "kept busy" while "team A" worked on Pocahontas, on which the production had much higher hopes. "The Lion King" became a huge critical and commercial success, whereas "Pocahontas" met with mixed reviews and a much lower box office. The wildebeest stampede took Disney's CG department approximately three years to animate. A new computer program had to be written for the stampede scene that allowed hundreds of computer generated animals to run but without colliding into each other. In early drafts, Scar was a rogue lion with no relation to Mufasa. However, the story writers thought relating him to Mufasa would be more interesting, a threat within. This is why Scar and Mufasa differ so much; they weren't originally designed to be related. The animators were so impressed with Jeremy Irons's performance that they worked Irons' features into Scar's face. Besides inspirations from William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the story also has elements of the Osirian family myths of Ancient Egyptian mythology. Several character names are based on Swahili words: Simba - lion, Nala - gift, Sarabi - mirage, Rafiki - friend, Pumbaa - simpleton/weak-minded, and Shenzi - barbarous/uncouth/uncivilized/savage. Despite the fact that Zawadi is the Swahili word for gift, Nala's name also means gift. Jim Cummings (voice of Ed the Hyena) had to fill in for Jeremy Irons for the finale of "Be Prepared." Irons threw out his voice after performing the line, "you won't get a sniff without me!" The rest of his recording didn't sound powerful enough. HIDDEN MICKEY: One of the bugs that Timon pulls out of a knothole during Hakuna Matata is wearing Mickey Mouse ears. When Mufasa tells Simba about the Great Kings of the Past if you look at the stars in the wide shot you can see Mickey Mouse. The best-selling home video of all time, with more than 55 million copies sold to date. Veteran voice actor Frank Welker provided all the lion roars. Not a single recording of an actual lion roaring was used because the producers wanted specific sounding roars for each lion. This was the highest grossing film of 1994 worldwide and the second highest in the U.S. behind Forrest Gump. There is a lost verse of "Hakuna Matata" that was storyboarded which explained Timon's situation. It was later used in The Lion King 1 and a 1/2, also known as The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata.

I Aspudden slåss en mellanstadiekille för sin rätt att rita som han vill, även om blodet dryper ur seriegubbarnas ögon. I Nairobi kan en fungerande lampa vara avgörande för barns läsande. Första delen av den nya omgången av Barnens Kultur vänder och vrider på detta med barnperspektiv. Vi besöker en bokbuss i Nairobis slum, skapad för barnen av bandet Sarabi. Och träffar serietecknaren Nina Hemmingsson och hennes son Eliot Hemmingsson-Cuzner och pratar om hur vuxna censurerar barns uttryck. Är vuxenvärlden verkligen beredd att låta barnen vara så som de är? Och varför är barnkulturen så besatt av skillnaden mellan barn och vuxna? Vi pratar ideologiska barnböcker med poeten och kritikern Magnus William-Olsson. Och så skickas Testpatrullen ut på sitt första uppdrag, där de ska undersöka hur barnanpassade aktiviteter egentligen funkar för barn. Programledare Jenny Aschenbrenner och Lollo Collmar

With tracks from Marbert Rocel, Jan Hammer Group, Life On Planets, Jex Opolis, Ptaki, Hess Is More, Code 61, Jascha Hagen, Nicola Cruz, Sonziera, Cameo Culture, Captain Sensible, Bantu Clan Vs. Sarabi, Bedford Falls Players, Korkut Elbay and Coma. Contact: dj@ribeaud.ch.
