    I should find that post someone showed me of someone who had "Free Palestine" on their car, parked in the parking lot of the Clown's fast food resturant..... It can be assumed that the person went in to that restaurant or they're simply using the parking lot. It could also be that the one who took the picture witnessed the driver and passengers go in, so made the post to raise awareness.

    But here's what we are not talking about, or not talking about enough.
    For these business to loose money isn't that big of a deal. Not that much, not when the fat cats are getting their bonuses come what may. The past has shown that it could be an issue lasting for a few weeks or a few months. Then it can all be made up for. Why?
    Because they know after a while things will eventually go back to "normal".
    Because they are dealing with creatures of habit, especially ones who seek conveniences.
    Because we as generations living in the current times are less used to dealing with putting off that treat at the end of the week. We are now creatures of instant gratification.
    Can we really hold out for months, especially years?
    What to do when our computers reach the end and need replacing? Our whole lifestyle is heavily dependent on technology. Produced by the very ones who we have been demonstrating against.

    More than that, how many of us are still working for these businesses?
    How many of us have not quit?
    Coz "bills" and, worse still, "lifestyle"?

    This is a perfect opportunity to permanently divert people away from such business that people are avoiding to support by creating our own. Are we going to fill in the gap of the demands? Or are we once again going to take very slow steps or even let the opportunities slip from out fingers?

    "Poor breathing is what you see when you look at 90% of the population," science journalist James Nestor told Zomorodi. "It includes breathing through the mouth, breathing up into the chest, unconsciously holding your breath, snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, on and on and on."

    Nestor is the author of the bestselling book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which chronicles his investigation into the power of breath. He explained that over the course of hundreds of years, humans have lost touch with natural breathing patterns as our posture has declined and we spend much of the day hunched over our screens and devices.

    "If you are hunched over, you can't extend your belly. You can't take that soft, slow, deep breath," Nestor said.

    This results in shallow chest breathing, which means we end up breathing more, which sends stress signals to the brain.

    Breathing properly has an immense positive impact on our health and well-being. Slow breathing lowers our stress levels, increases focus, regulates our emotions and even helps us make better decisions. Luckily, Nestor feels confident that it's possible to retrain your body to breathe well. "I think you can absolutely be a healthy breather looking at a screen, without a doubt," he said.
