1. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
23rd September 1932
THE BIRTH OF SAUDI ARABIA
The Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz merged with Al-Hasa and Qatif to form the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with Ibn Saud as the first monarch and Riyadh as the capital city. Beyond both the reach and interest of the Western powers, it was one of the world's poorest countries until 1938, when the first oil was discovered. The country has subsequently become the world's biggest oil-producer and grown rich, powerful and influential.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

With Missus at home for the rest of the week, freedom of movement is more restricted but not unbearably so, and undistracted I continue to pursue my goals. I'm certainly starting the day off with a wonderful inner stillness, free of internal debate, every aspect of this character is united in common cause. I am fully embracing uncertainty, my focus is "in the zone", I'm feeling the fear and doing things anyway, and I am relentless in pursuit of my passions. This character has never been so "sorted" as now! Most importantly I have the baseline Attitude Of Gratitude, which makes life a fulfilling joy!

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU

8. TRIVIA
To maintain a healthy tone, the penis needs regular erections. Without regular erections, penile tissue can become less elastic and shrink, up to 1-2 centimeters. However, the brain has an “automatic penis maintenance” function. Brain impulses cause erections during REM sleep. For some men who are physically unable to have an erection due to nerve trauma or blood vessel damage, they can use a vacuum pump that causes the penis to swell with blood.

9. ZEN WISDOM
We are only able to develop our own good qualities to the extent that we can respect what is admirable in others.
