priority list

direction for priority, fixing bad maslow pyramid
coincidence? i just watched "adrift 2018" this list is for tami the lady on the ship adrift.
list and explanation
list: water > health warmth etc. > food. resources [to get basics] > next group
group 2 getting love, self esteem, friendship, feel belonging. see explanation.
note: self esteem, which means "confidence in ability" not self admire, is more urgent than family, intimacy and reproduction.
group 3 after these we can chase intimacy, try to make a family with spouse and children
after these we can chase status... by using our abilities. respect etc. depends on others. list completed see explanation.
intro: fixing bad maslow pyramid for example "low before?" had bad order and poor wording for example everyone "actualy" has a self so i fixed his idea: "develop self to its most" also wrong just "use your abilities" 
instead of a pyramid that does not narrow... six respect more than four love so use direction... for priority. what is the highest priority that would die quickly if we lacked?
our environment has the needed air with oxygen. for the "goal of satisfying" the list begins after air.
PRIORITY: 1 water
need sleep but body will, almost without decisions similarly ejecting waste from food or fluid or stuff related to "unused baby preparation" both male and female, which i HOPE he called reproduction but literal baby is not a need, nor urgent, instead often would be improper.
note: despite religions males should empty "unused" seed at a normal pace rate when not planning to make a baby... and without hurting other people such as in female rape. helpful hint: the stuff is easy to clean if ejected in a shower.
TWO: protection from cold and wind etc. clothing and shelter. this does not include clothing due to society expectations but referred to the need for warmth. this is the "health" issue that should be most basic and "safety" too before child unless he meant materials as above. simlar flaw safety after reproduction?
3 food less urgent as priority not order after.
summary: water > health warmth etc. > food.
NEXT group: aids for water clothing and shelter: SUPPLIES including items to wear etc. as movable "property" and money to get the higher priority stuff due to the punishment for stealing. NOTE: his level 2 is very wrong health should be first layer as above. ALSO people can survive without security... it is not a need in fact our lives are a constant struggle without security neither emotional nor physical which depends on others so not needed nor realistic to expect.
jobs? children and retired dont need. even work-age would be included in resources, BETTER "supplies". job not "safety".
property? does that mean owning land and house? not a need if have "shelter" even if not own.
after food "items" for use and getting the more urgent and more basic needs
NEXT group after physical needs of items, also need to get love correct but depends on others. feel belonging.
try to get friends by... acting like a friend to people who are not evil... i cant find anyone who "acts like a friend". despite low expectations. 
intimacy not a need in contrast to loneliness... still alone is better than with hurtful people.
family? when young not a need instead any adult for example orphanage. when adult family is often annoying "i am so much better without you".
respect recognition depends on others but self esteem should be before.
too vague to list status? strength? freedom from what?
intimacy [if seperate from reproduction he wrongly told men to rape "must be before" intimacy so i fixed].

story of esther briefly, with illustration

briefly, what was the story of esther?

king xerxes? after age twenty. see josephus for king name

religion caused people to add a baseless presupposition: any thing in the bible was the word of god "narrated by god" like "transcription" god told whoever which word he wanted them to write... but does that claim have any basis?
bible scholars, several admitted to me that this expectation is false they know more errors than i found or noticed.
for example the book of esther does not even CLAIM "god said to a prophet this is the story in the time of king etc." in contrast to "god said to moses this is the first month" that was claimed from god and similarly book genesis didnot even claim god told the author any story by prophecy nor the author claim i know the story by prophecy.
this false assumption can cause people to try to defend the text even by twisting the meaning away just to defend it from criticism when the need for defense is absent... nobody said this book is from god.
so the next question is the book of esther with its drama a dramatization? or a precise record.
those who claim it is precise rely on a human telling them it is holy but we cannot check.
it is as if nobody claimed it was holy so what remains is a book of drama. so what did it dramatize?
we are familiar with  dramatizations that altered the story for several reasons to hide errors and poor judgement and harm or damages but add emotions and other elements that did not occur to make it interesting.
esther has such elelments matching the idea of dramatization. the fact that the queen did not know until she asked some outsider... as if she is not queen... we only try to defend it if we have a presuppostion instead of evaluating the contents. instead of reading hundreds of words tell me briefly? as the jewish saying "dont tell me the gantz mgilla" meaning the whole scroll. it is an expression when people are too lengthy.
maybe it was pure imaginary fiction that some clever authors compiled. or based on a fact that was boring so it got dramatized.
i can "glean" the boring facts by removing the exagerations and drama.
admittedly it is boring which is the reason the authors exagerated and dramatized.
without the drama: a king decreed [see illustration] kill the jews. the queen convinced the king to cancel the decree... somehow the jews were saved.
the boring story was: queen told the king jew-hating is bad for business and taxes. she suggested making a list of jew haters by allowing them to kill the jews "next year" so people would come and join the "army" to kill while protected by king.
once many people registered the king killed the jew haters probably a couple thousand in the country. you can see this is boring so they needed to dramatize the queen getting replaced and "secret" not knowing which nation until the surprise and the suspense of inviting to a party and another and as critics point out "fillers" which cause the story less boring and filling the time after work... what else would you do without television they needed a long story and since they did not have one they dramatized. for example the "glorious victory jews killed thousadns" these are all teh exagerated dramatizations added to "sweeten" the boring kernel of truth simply by removing the drama... if we search for a basis when the book might be pure fiction.
the point is the king killed the jew haters... probably "wishful thinking" that never happened, but that lacked glory so they added the jews killed the enemy for dramatization not for accurate records.

rainbow planning

i planned to copy a great image in a muppets video... on a background of a colorful rainbow, many colored balloons floated past.

my attempts at simplicity failed so i planned much better and here are the steps. NOTE: although christians fail to distinguish between rainbows and gay flag... they differ so do not forbid rainbow art! gay made their flag DIFFERENT with either six or 8 colors instead of seven "purple dark blue light blue green yellow orinj and red". gay has blue but only one blue in the standard six so dont ban a rainbow !!

step one preparing the bow: the plan to use the coordinates of pixels for precise size. i will not say what bad plan this replaced because it failed.


note i used size 400 square for easier calculation of coordinates
despite the waste of a circle this allowed for using tools for the size... and just imagine a reflecting pool across the center!!! :)

rainbow over grass. note the arc is too circular so i stretched it wide not ratio. the greens differ but not enuf


stretched for rainbow arc instead of circle. this stretch was exagerated in aditional stretches for this blog.
 fourth product a square with a stretched rainbow.

ENJOY
