"Information consumes attention. Therefore wealth of information requires poverty of attention." Herbert Alexander Simon.
A racially different friend pointed out that I was what's wrong with the world, he said, "you're a typical middle aged, white male." In one slur he was ageist, racist and sexist".
If I am anything, I am a self-esteemist. I don't like people with low self-esteem, I don't like myself when my self-esteem is low.
I want to live in a world where everyone has a healthy self-esteem.
Imagine that world...

Lips closed, breathe through your nose, relaxed jaw, tongue in the top of your mouth and take slow, down deep, small breaths, and dream.

In 1968 I spent a week here and learned to ski. I was 4yo. My family and I went every year for a week, and it was the highlight of my year. In the early Seventies our skiing abilities out-grew this place and we skied at Falls Creek. I skied in the Olympics at Calgary in 1988 and then created the Snowshow with my friend Mark Steven, a 30min TV show that ran for 15 years on free-to-air in Australia, Satellite in Europe and Cable in North America. It all started staying at Mt Buffalo Chalet. I love this place and when it's restored I'm going there with my kids. It's a magical place that I use to run all around, now it has a touch of "The Shinning".

Perched at the top of a mountain this disused chalet was once high-class heaven. Can it be fashionable again?
Mount Buffalo's grand chalet was once the jewel of Victoria's high country, but it has been closed for almost two decades. However, hope is growing that the "old girl" can be revived.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy!
In 1953, Watson and Crick revealed the nature of the DNA double helix. I find it important to note that the DNA helix discovery was by a woman scientist, Rosalind Franklin, whose major advisor gave away her research (without her knowledge) to Watson and Crick who then took credit for her research!
Five years later in 1958, Francis Crick published an article with the title, The Central Dogma. The article emphasized that information in biology only flows in one direction: DNA>RNA>Protein. The public has been programmed to believe this flow of information to be true. This hypothesis had been repeated so frequently, that it has erroneously been construed as a scientific truth, although it was never verified by research.
The consequence of this belief is that we, as the proteins, have no power in going against the information flow to influence our DNA. We are led to believe that we are “victims” of our heredity, that diseases run in families because of genetic inheritance. After teaching this concept to medical students for years, it was only after leaving the medical school that I looked-up the definition of “dogma.” It means a belief based upon religious persuasion and not based on scientific fact. Yikes! I was teaching religious dogma to my students, a disempowering notion that has since shaped the beliefs of the public.
In 1967, my research on cloned human cells revealed that it was, indeed, the “environment” that controlled gene expression. Twenty-three years later science recognized this truth and coined the term “epigenetics” (i.e., “control ABOVE the genes”). The public is slowly becoming aware of this new empowering concept. While we may not control the genetic information introduced into our genome at conception by our parents, we can control the environmental information we send to our cells that regulates genetic activity.
Unfortunately, science emphasizes that epigenetics is programmed by our response to our external environment. While this idea is “partially” true, the more important environment, the one not being considered, is the cellular environment “within” the body. Epigenetic-controlling environmental information is not directly connected with external environmental conditions. The chemical environment within the body is controlled by our nervous system, which translates and interprets the conditions of our external world by adjusting the chemistry under our skin.
This is a profoundly important point: Epigenetic activity is NOT controlled by the external environment; it is controlled by our perceptions which regulate the internal chemical milieu. The nervous system interprets our world view based on our developmental programs and life experiences. The brain then sends complementary chemistry of our perceptions to the body’s cells that control genetic expression. Consequently, it is our nurture experiences that override our nature, our inherited genetic programs.
It is through nurture that we acquire our “beliefs,” which epigenetically control our genetic expression. For example, there is NO gene that causes cancer. Cancer is derived from disempowering and self-sabotaging beliefs that send dysfunctional signals to the cells, which in turn, elicit inappropriate, life-threatening, epigenetic alterations. In fact, over 90% of disease is due to disempowering beliefs, while less than 1% of illness can be attributed to defective genes.
The profound conclusion is that the stress of living in today’s world is epigenetically responsible for the planet’s healthcare crisis. Perhaps the most important, nonpharmaceutical advice comes from the lyrics of a song by the Caribbean prophet, Bob Marley, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!”

SMILE 56/365. A new challenge and it definitely stretched my comfort zone. The smile came out of the water.
Why get upside down and in particular do handstands? 1. Reduces stress -blood to brain. 2. Builds strength. 3. Improves spatial awareness. 4. Improves balance. 5. Stimulates endocrine system. 6. Breaks down barriers. Have you ever done handstands in the park and how it gets all the kids involved. A handstand a day.
