This is 86-year-old Ali, a Turkish former doctor who is now a tailor in Berlin. His passion for fashion caught the eye of photographer Zoe Spawton, who spent 3 years capturing his outfits as he walked past her work each morning for a blog called ‘What Ali Wore’. Source Source 2 Source 3

A Series of Unfortunate Events
Pride is a sense of worth derived from something that is not part of us, while self-esteem derives from the potentialities and achievements of self. We are proud when we identify ourselves with an imaginary self, a leader, a holy cause, a collective body of possessions. There is fear and intolerance in pride; it is insensitive and uncompromising. The less promise and potency in the self, the more imperative is the need for pride. The core of pride is self-rejection.

“I guess I’ve still got a lot of healing to do.”
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) dir. Wes Anderson
There was a long hard time when I kept far from me, the remembrance, of what I had thrown away when I was quite ignorant of its worth. But, since my duty has not been incompatible with the admission of that remembrance, I have given it a place in my heart.
Estella (Great Expectations)
“We’re doing fine. We see a lot of psychologists in the hospital. They ask a lot of questions. They’re looking for problems. They think we’re hiding something from them. It’s a nice conversation but there’s nothing to find. Maybe it’s because we’re simple minds and we don’t think too deeply about things. We’re treating this like a normal event. A lot of people have it worse than us. We have access to the best care in the world. Our only problem is boredom. We should be thankful. The cancer is gone now. If it comes back, it comes back. But why worry about something that hasn’t happened yet?”
...after all that is bewitching in the idea of a single and constant attachment, and all that can be said of one's happiness depending entirely on any particular person, it is not meant--it is not fit--it is not possible that it should be so.

Environmental activist Jadav Payeng started planting trees on a barren Indian sandbar in 1979 when he was 16 years old. Today he lives in the forest he planted, which covers over 1,300 hundred acres and is home to rhinos, tigers, deer, apes and elephants. Source

HAPPY 101st BIRTHDAY TO THE LATE HEDY LAMARR
As WWII escalated, Lamarr was motivated to find a way to steer torpedoes by remote control using changing radio frequencies, which she called “frequency hopping,” so that the transmissions could not be jammed by enemies.
She donated her patent to the U.S. government, but the Navy rejected her designs, convinced the mechanisms would be too large to fit into a torpedo.
They responded with, “You should go raise money for the war. That’s what you should be doing instead of this silly inventing,” (which she did, raising war bonds by the millions). So she silently watched her invention become a reality under the credit of others and never made a dime from it.
Over 50 years after her original patent, Hedy did FINALLY get some acknowledgment - even a few awards - but she didn’t show up to accept them. By then, botched plastic surgery made her very reclusive. She died alone in Florida at the age of 86. Her obituaries began with her beauty and made only brief references to the invention she had hoped would prove her mind was beautiful, too.
Today, frequency hopping is used with the wireless phones that we have in our homes, GPS, and most military communication systems.
Happy Birthday, Hedy.

This place is like the Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory of industrial materials. It looks like an insanely amazing, probably-fun-but-creepy, kind of terrifying playground… I’ve never been, but apparently it is all of those things.
It’s also the source of several lawsuits from people who fractured their skull… or lost some fingers…
And some tell stories about being trapped, terrified, or injured in the caves and treehouse, but they still want to go back.
You can allegedly open and close the front door of this bus yourself, which I really don’t understand…
I’m also not sure I understand why they’re selling beer to people who are expected to climb through this…
Yet I still feel like I should go…
