Nancy Crampton Brophy, 71, will be eligible to apply for parole in 25 years, a judge in the northwestern state of Oregon told her.
          Crampton Brophy's month-long murder trial heard how the author had used a gun barrel bought on eBay to kill her husband in the hope of collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in life insurance.
          The weapon, which she claimed had been acquired as research for a new novel, has never been found. | via PhilSTAR Life

GREAT WALL 
          
          When the Chinese decided to live in peace, they built The Great Wall of China. They thought that no one would be able to climb it because of its height.
          However, in the 100 years after its construction, the Chinese were occupied three times more.
          Enemies infantrymen never needed to climb or tear down the wall.
          Because they always bribed the guards and entered through the gates.
          The Chinese had built a high and thick wall but they had not been able to build the characters of the wall guards.
          
          As a result, building human character is different and important...
          It comes before the construction of everything.

Bourgeois turned with huge walls
          their courtyards.
          But I saw a cherry tree the other day,
          It stretched out its most flowering branch.

If nature takes precedence over education, you will raise a mountain man.
          If education takes precedence over nature, you have trained a clerk.
          If nature and education can be blended in the right ratio, only then can you raise people with superior characteristics.

The stomach is a smarter organ than the brain. The stomach vomits and throws out harmful things, whereas the brain accumulates it.

KINTSUGI
          
          The Chinese porcelain teapot, which was loved by the Japanese commander Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who lived in the 15th century, is broken. The commander immediately demands that the teapot be repaired. The teapot is repaired, but the cracks cannot be removed.
          
          Then the artists step in. Instead of hiding the broken traces, artists make them clear with gold leaf and turn them into original patterns. According to the philosophy behind Kintsugi art, this is how a Kintsugi art is born.
          
          According to the philosophy behind the art of Kintsugi, if an object or a person is damaged or broken, the mark it carries is precious. He/She has gone through a life experience and gained experience. Therefore, it is much more valuable than before.
          
          Fractures are not meant to hide their scars, but to accentuate them. The situation is no different for people who have suffered damage. A person cannot act as if he/she has never experienced pain, as if he has never made a mistake, as if he/she has never been broken.
          
          Filling the cavities in our hearts, the broken ones in our hearts with gold and blessing the experiences, celebrating the wounds, being grateful for the scars is the only way to live openly, deliberately and above all honestly. And some scars make you even more beautiful than before.
          
          Just like Hemingway, who said: "The world breaks everyone, and then many people get stronger from that broken place"...

I don't trust people who don't like dogs. 
          But if a dog doesn't like a person, I trust that dog's feelings.
