Hello beautiful people!

Welcome to another TribeSteemUp Curation, where I (@trucklife-family) get to showcase some of the great Articles that the tribe members created and that really embody what the Tribe stands for and what a week this has been for us all on the platform

The TribeSteemUp community was created by @kennyskitchen. It is a *Community Abundance Generator,* which supports authors who write articles that look at ways in which we can become more empowered and create a more peaceful and free world.

The authors who have been chosen to become part of the TribeSteemUp community are all writing content of high quality, and they all focus on topics related to the bettering of life, such as:

| Anarchy | Non-Violence | Philosophy | Veganism | Mindfulness | | Community Empowerment | Love | Original Music | Esotericism | | Healthy Recipes | Psychedelics | Truth | Permaculture | The TribeSteemUp community also has 8 Pillars/Principles that each member has agreed to adhere by and you can find The 8 Pillars of TribeSteemUp at the end of this post

>Steem, STEEM, and Steemit are in "the news" far more than usual these last couple weeks, in what will come to be known as The Fall of Ned the Snake, The Rise of Justin the Sun, a brief period right before the community corrected the biggest blemish on this blockchain since its inceptions. I'm going to start with the important lessons, that apply to many places besides Steem, and then at the bottom I'll put a timeline of everything that happened. Skip down to the Princess Bride meme for the timeline.

Stephen Suchan (AKA Soohan) produces crazy dance music with cultural flavors from around the globe. In this episode we talk about the spiritual community that arises around authentic music scenes, the rise of Soohan as a huge act at transformational festivals around North America, some thoughts on relationships, and perspectives on consciousness mysteries.

>Food security is one of the most fundamentally important foundations to our existence on the planet. Survival of the species depends on having a constant supply of fresh produce to sustain our bodies. That and water make up our existence. The rest are all frills. Here on the south Cape coast of Africa water scarcity has become an issue of the past few decades as climate pattern shift. But if you can set up a system to catch the water then you will find that there is plenty. It just needs to be managed well. Food however, requires more endevor and few are trained or familiar with what it takes to feed themselves in the culture of markets and commercial farming.

I'm still trying to get my head around the relative power of SP in relation to how many witness votes we have....
one needs 17 witnesses to control the blockchain then...
If you give one account 17 or more witness votes this means that one account can hypothetically control the entire chain with sock-puppet witnesses if that account has more vested stake than all other accounts. This situation also makes it possible for one account to have absolute control if it controls 50.0000001% of all SP. (OK this is kind of stating the obvious!)
If you give one account a maximum of 16 witness votes, then you immediately reduce the 'governance power' of that 'dominant' account's stake by a factor of 2, because 2 actors are required to control the chain.

>Let's do this one for free!. Now that's I've built five more raised beds, it's time to fill them. Rather than just running out and buying some soil, I look around my property and see what I have available instead. In this video, I collect a number of resources and relocate them into the first of the five raised beds.

For obvious reasons, there is a lot of discussion in Steem of late about the concept of forking the blockchain. This has gotten people's attention probably more so than ever before. If we are honest, more people know about governance and the workings of Steem at that level than they ever imagined.
Before going any further, we will note that Steem was forked many times before. Golos and Whaleshares are two such projects. Thus, we are not discussing something totally new.
Forking is a very good thing. People need to set aside this idea that a fork sets up an all or none situation. When a blockchain is forked, it provides individuals with options. It presents a situation where one is free to make his or her own choice.

>My passion for nature, introduced me to Jane Goodall at a young age. I was fascinated by her work and her if you had asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up I would have said, I wanted to be like Jane. She is still such a huge inspiration to me, her love for the natural world aligns with my own and she has lived a life full of compassion, something we all can aspire to. Another women who inspired me growing up, was Granuaile , or Grace O Malley the Irish pirate who was born in the 16th century. She rejected what was expected of her as a women and instead took to the seas, where she took wealth from the English fleets and brought them back to Ireland. She started off as a member of the ships crew, but in time captained her own fleet.

Can we love people in a partner relationship without feeling jealousy or any form of possessiveness? Do you think that’s possible? Have you ever achieved this?
I’ve been asking myself these questions after a girl commented a post on my Facebook profile saying that she loved me. It was obvious she was saying it from admiration of something I had written that struck a chord in her, but my ex, whom I still talked to until today, went on jealousy strike and banned me from her life.
