This is for all of you as this journey is yours as much as it is mine.🙏 I hope that I would be able to bring justice to the beauty of your generous actions and let you feel the gratitude of the kids through this video. The gifts really sparked joy to them as well as their parents also who were taking care of them tirelessly. Behind this, I have known the stories of the kids and a lot were heartbreaking. But we have collected a lot and there is so much more we can do to make their little lives a wee bit better. P.S. I will be going back there to extend more help. (details soon) I am thanking every one who supported this cause and tell you that your gesture has touched the lives of kids halfway across the world. To them, you are a hero!

Achilles’ lament for his friend Patroclus is described by Homer in a unique way. Of course, the movie didn’t show it. So here is what actually happened: Patroclus' body was burned on a great pyre, and his ashes were placed in an urn that was given to Achilles to keep in his tent. Achilles even requested that when he himself died, Patroclus' ashes be mixed with his own remains so that the two friends would be buried together for eternity. The ceremonies ended with funeral games in honor of the dead. In these, Achilles offered many and valuable prizes as the organizer. In the end, he even declared Agamemnon the winner in the spear fight. Briseis, in her lament over Patroclus' body, weeps as she remembers him and mentions that he was so kind while alive that he told her he would make her the lawful wife of Achilles and bring her to Phthia. In the Iliad, Book 19 (T), lines 295-300 we read: "You alone would not let me weep, and you used to say that you would make me the lawful wife of Achilles, and bring me to Phthia to celebrate the wedding among the Myrmidons who dwell there; for this kindness of yours I weep for you so bitterly." Achilles mourns and says that he hoped he alone would be killed in Troy and that Patroclus would return to Phthia and bring his son Neoptolemus to Phthia to show him the servants and the palace. Clearly, therefore, Achilles intended Patroclus to be the guardian of his child. In the Iliad, Book 19 (T), lines 315-330 we read: "Once, hapless one, you too, dear friend of my heart, would quickly and properly prepare a meal here, when the Achaeans were eager to bring much-lamented Ares against the horse-taming Trojans; now you lie dead, and the longing for you does not let me eat or drink, for I could not suffer a worse evil even if I heard that my old father had died, who is wasting away in Phthia with tears, missing such a son, while I remain far away, fighting the Trojans in a foreign land because of hated Helen; or that child of mine who is being raised in Scyros, the godlike Neoptolemus, if he still lives. I had another hope deep in my soul, that I alone would perish far from horse-breeding Argos here in Troy, and that you would return to Phthia and bring the child from Scyros in the ship and lead him with you and show him everything, my possessions, my servants, and the high palace." Friendship in Greece was a sacred institution protected by "Zeus Philios" (Zeus of Friendship). These two heroes were companions, fellow warriors, dear friends, and relatives.

On March 19, 2021—his seventy-first birthday—a man walked to the pond on his farm and threw himself into it. He had said it again and again, almost like a prayer: “When I leave this world, I don’t want it to be without winning the Derby. I can’t accept that. I absolutely can’t. It’s nothing like the other G1s. For those of us who live in the world of horses, it’s a race apart.” Yet he never held a single classic title, the Japanese Derby included. His name was Okada Shigeyuki. They called him the Commander. He called himself “the man with Japan’s greatest eye for a horse,” and many agreed. It never felt like boasting. He simply saw too much. He traveled to Britain and America when he was young, quarreled with his family, and built everything from scratch. Big Red Farm. Its satellites. The club. He challenged taboos in Japanese breeding—things no one dared attempt—until those very acts became standard practice. Horses he bought, pedigrees others dismissed, kept turning up in the classics. Again and again. It was as if he could see not just what a horse was, but what it might become. Then came Sunday Silence, and the axis of racing shifted. Okada searched obsessively for a stallion who could surpass him. He looked everywhere, spent heavily, and invested without hesitation. Yet deep down, he knew the truth: Sunday Silence was a once-in-a-lifetime existence. There would be no second. Still, for the sake of the Derby—the dream he could not abandon—he kept struggling. In 2008, on the Japanese Derby, a jockey called him. The colt had been favorite for the Satsuki Sho. Okada had even instructed him to ride with the Derby in mind, saying it was fine not to win the Satsuki. And yet, just before the Japanese Derby, Okada said quietly: “Today, ride however you like. We can’t beat Deep Sky.” The jockey was stunned. From a man who had given everything to the Derby, such resignation felt unbearable. Deep Sky won. That was the curse of possessing the finest eye: he could see not only greatness, but also defeat. He continued to challenge the system—JRA, local racing, entrenched power itself. Cosmo Bulk was his provocation. Favorite for the Satsuki Sho, yet the horse Okada feared most was the tenth choice, Daiwa Major. Daiwa Major won. Later came the era of Deep Impact and King Kamehameha. As they kept claiming the Derby, Okada could only smile bitterly. Northern Farm was simply too strong. And then—at last—a different thread. He managed, somehow, to bring Gold Ship in as a stallion. From his prized broodmare band came a filly: Uberleben. Two months after Okada died, she won the Japanese Oaks. It was the first classic victory for horses connected to him. The first time the dream—his dream—broke the surface of history and became real. After the finish, the jockey Mirco Demuro pointed to the sky. A win offered upward. A message. A payment, long overdue. People from Big Red Farm had brought Okada’s photograph to Tokyo Racecourse, holding it as an altar in a place made of noise and speed. And then, from the rival camp—Northern Farm—Yoshida Shunsuke stepped over, looked at the picture, and said with a rough tenderness that only rivals earn the right to show: “What is this… You should’ve brought a bigger one.” There was someone there—usually composed, always steady—who, at that moment, could not stay standing inside himself. Tears spilled out. Then a sob that escaped the body’s permission. A collapse into grief so loud it startled the air. They had finally won a classic. And the one person who should have been there… wasn’t. Over the racecourse speakers, the announcement came—formal, measured, incapable of hiding what it meant: “Thoroughbred Club Ruffian records its first classic victory. This win is dedicated to Okada Shigeyuki, commander of the Meiner stable, who passed away on March 19 this year.”

Big Pharma Creates Drugs From Snake Venom, Salmon Sperm, Horse Urine... The Shocking Truth About 5 Common Medications Made From Animal Parts. Insulin, Blood Pressure Meds, Clotting Meds & Premarin 1⃣ INSULIN: Today's Insulin is produced from Human DNA grown on E. Coli bacteria. Insulin used to be made from the pancreas of cattle & pigs. Bovine & porcine insulin was stopped due to adverse side effects & animal rights protests from PETA. The Human Insulin DNA Recombinant Gene is isolated & cloned from human cells & inserted into a bacterial plasmid of E. Coli bacteria. The bacteria are grown in large fermentation tanks where they replicate rapidly & produce massive amounts of human insulin. 2⃣ ACE INHIBITORS: Blood pressure antihypertensive medications like Captopril, Lisinopril & Enalapril are all functional & structural analog peptides derived from the venom of the Jararaca, a Brazilian pit viper (Bothrops jararaca). Snake venoms cause many local & systemic effects in humans, with some being life-threatening while others being permanently debilitating. 3⃣ HEPARIN: A potent anticoagulant derived primarily from porcine (pig) intestinal mucosa. The extraction process involves scraping the mucosa from pig intestines. Heparin from porcine mucosa is used in various applications, including preventing blood clots in surgeries & kidney dialysis. Those with dietary or religious objections to pork may be unknowingly violating their own ethical standards. 4⃣ PROTAMINE SULFATE: This clotting medication comes from salmon sperm. The sperm is collected by "milking" the salmon at reproductive fish farms. It is the only clinically available agent to reverse blood thinning caused by Heparin, but those with fish allergies will go into anaphylactic shock. 5⃣ PREMARIN: Pregnant Mares Urine as Estrogen for HRT Hormone Replacement Therapy. It's origin is right there in the name PREgnant MAres uRINe. The horses used to produce this drug are referred to as "PMU" horses & live on PMU farms. The mares are kept in small standing stalls in order to limit their movement, so not to displace the urinary bladder bags used to collect every drop of urine. When the mares birth the foals, the cycle is repeated. This cycle of breeding has created an overabundance of "unwanted" foals, most of which are sold to the slaughter industry. 👇The Manufacture Process Of Human Insulin👇 👇Snake Venom Used In Blood Pressure Meds👇 👇Heparin From Porcine Intestinal Mucosa👇 👇Protamine Sulfate From Salmon Sperm👇 👇Premarin as Pregnant Mares Urine👇 Speaker: Rob Timmings-ECT4Health
