China will require telecom operators to collect face scans when registering new phone users at offline outlets starting Sunday, according to the country's information technology authority, as Beijing continues to tighten cyberspace controls.
In September, China's industry and information technology ministry issued a notice on "safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of citizens online", which laid out rules for enforcing real-name registration.
The notice said telecom operators should use "artificial intelligence and other technical means" to verify people's identities when they take a new phone number.
A China Unicom customer service representative told AFP that the December 1 "portrait matching" requirement means customers registering for a new phone number may have to record themselves turning their head and blinking.

Visited a relatives home for Thanksgiving, he just bought his first home this year, of which I have much respect for him planning, saving and having done so !
He cooked, it was an amazing array of Dinner Variety in choice and he did great preparations.
He has he fought for custody and he is raising them well, they are doing well in school and have great discipline in manner and conduct.
It was a delight to see him achieve the goal of preparing dinner for the family in his new home. He cooked the dishes as his mother and grandmother had taught him and he pointed out how he relied on what they had taught him to prepare it all.
"They would be proud" !!!!! and so am I of him....

The unpredictable expressions of natures flow through a day.... the joys of sights and sounds, feeling and vibrations brings realizations within the life in us....
It spans the emotions, intermixing them into wonderment of many sorts, some high some low, and some with a tick toc ping.... and we know we are alive....
Despair tells us to look within, accept the beauty of our soul... and we work our way through ..... to find what works and flows to move us through the day.
Joys make us glimpse what is the explorations of delight, and we take in the realism of moments.... as the tick toc of the clock moves us through the day.
The Journey of wonderment is ours... we explore, we experience and we express... and it spans the spectrum of emotions....
If what we learn, is our worst is in some instances may be the best for others of which they could hope to know and experience; and some may never understand that some suffer would be delighted to have our worst day.... if only they can walk about and communicate with life and others.
We must find the patience to live... and we can learn better to appreciate what is life...and what is living.
Make no thing bigger than yourself.... nor make anything smaller than what you want to feel for yourself....
The Journey through wonderment... is "Life" !!!!
Expect no perfections other than what nature has made... and you may find your stresses to be less and your willingness to work through challenge with a hope and faith that grace will encompass the outcomes that continue your gift of living. Be willing to work, for without the works of engagements... nothing come freely... but with the joy in working... many things reveal themselves beyond what even one may have expected.... and revelations inspire ideas... and we can create, make and build in our ways of giving back into the world, what others may share ....... One simply has to not loose sight nor focus on the sense and compassion to care....
and ..... The Journey through wonderment... inspires your living... and you find that the gift of life is precious.
We can't make tomorrow come today, it comes as it will .. after today.... so appreciate the patience to engage the living you have today. and tomorrow will become its own "Today" when it arrives.
Know what you choose... and understand, you can't predict the outcome, but you can prepare for what you seek to pursue....
But first you must meet "Today" with a grace driven by faith.... and keep hope alive... that you may live.... to engage living day by day.
The Journey of Wonder !!!!

The principles of (POLICY and ISSUES) within the backing of support is what matters.
the Republican Agenda and the Democratic Agenda....
the makeup of membership the Party Conventions.
~~Democratic Conventions is fully with a diversity of people.
~~Republican Convention is predominantly one ethnicity of people.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Political positions of the Republican Party
The Republican Party's conservatism involves support for free market capitalism, free enterprise, business, a strong national defense, deregulation, restrictions on labor unions, social-conservative policies, and traditional values, usually with a Christian foundation. Republicans oppose abortion rights, funding to Planned Parenthood, drugs, the Affordable Care Act, Common Core, gun control and support Just Say No and choice.
Republican put Business Before People _ Republican think its Business who makes society function, therefore it is Business who should make the policy over People, since Business Provide Jobs.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Political positions of the Democratic Party
Democratic platforms have sought to protect social programs, labor unions, consumer protection and workplace safety regulation, equal opportunity and racial equality, and regulation against pollution of the environment. Democrats support abortion rights and same-sex marriage, tend to support an easier pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Democrats tend to agree with the scientific consensus on climate change, and support clean energy and cap-and-trade policies. Democrats support human rights and human equality and the freedom of religion.
Democrat's put People Before Business - Democrats think it is people who support and make Business Prosper and business should serve the people, because it is the people labor and consumerism that makes Business Prosper
_____________________________________________________________________________________
People should always learn and understand what is the Policies and what is the Issues... and what is the overall impact on the present and the future....
This is why it is important that a nations people need to be educated and people need to have a level of competent literacy in regards to political matters; this is where "Civics Educations" is important to enable people to understand how government function and work.

Are you interested in DIY's
Are you select about the type of DIY's you undertakes/
Do you avoid DIY's
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Personally, The older I get the less I want to do DIY"s - there seem to continually be the odd things turns it into more work than imagined.
I was going to change the faucet on the Kitchen Sink, but even when the values were turned off, when I attempted to disconnect the lines, water started squirting out. I did not plan to change the valves... ! 'whew"!.... I will just buy the faucet and when I get other things done need to be done, I'll have the handy man to include changing the faucet.
I'm still mechanically inclined within the thought process, but as to the patience to do it... I'm not as motivated to do so as when I was younger and would take on most any type of project.
It's the same with my vehicles, I'm not going to try and fix anything on it as a DIY... its just easier to get, or save the and have someone who specializes in works to do the work needed, whether its a car or some of the house projects have every potential to become a bigger project than imagined.
( guess I have to focus on more ways to increase income, to for this stuff....  )
I still want to build a woodworking shop, but to me is very different than trying to engage DIY projects to the house.

When Maintaining an Older Vehicle - Consider: "Shocks and Struts" | Motor Mounts | Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter | and check all key components.
Brushes were in Alternators, Seals Go Bad in Air Conditioning Compressors, and Tie Rod Ends and Ball Joints each have a lifespan, and need to be changed.
Go through the Manual and Learn about thing on the vehicle.
Air Bags have a life span too !!!
Consider what the average yearly maintenance is... especially as your car get older, and if its beyond original warranty... Depending on your economics, research, "Vehicle Maintenance Plans"... that can help with older vehicles, but there is a limit on age and miles when reviewing these plans.
A recent study indicated: (from Car and Driver

It has been a very complex year when it comes to weather .... storms, flooding, tornado's and massive floods, massive damage.... and areas where farming is facing many challenges, from the cycle of drought on the West Coast, to the floods in the Midwest and the tornado's in the Midwest, and south....
I don't know what to make of the areas where the large chunks of ice is breaking away and falling into the ocean.... "something is changing".... !!!!
What has been your experience in your region of the past year?
