Wealth is not about money in the bank. Wealth includes good health, an abundance of friends, wealth can be an amazing relationship. Wealth is a state of gratitude. Kundalini Yoga- This is the oldest yoga and dates back to India over 5000 years You CAN protect yourself with yoga, prevent illness, and increase your prosperity. Wine - I am a Francophile I love all things French, especially the wines Therefore, I am biased when discussing wines and for many reasons. But listen to the podcast. It’s quicker. It’s FUN learning some easy fundamentals about wine and food pairing.
Lessons from the Monarch Butterfly Recently I learned in an accidental “experiment”, how to increase the birth and release of Monarchs by twenty times the usual low number. I have a Monarch butterfly garden at our GULFPORT COMMUNITY GARDEN for three years. The "birth rate" has only been a few butterfies. Amazingly, though, here are two lessons that you can glean from this incident with a new volunteer fellow gardener: First: Don’t let anyone tell you that you are WRONG especially when they first meet you! Trust in your OWN RESEARCH AND EXPERTS. Second: When working with MOTHER NATURE’S CREATIONS, if you DISCOVER a better way to IMPROVE the lives and habitat of an endangered species, SHARE your discovery with others… Listen to the podcast for the backstory. Kundalini yoga: feel your abundance- this is a cool yoga class for ABUNDANCE.. you must have an orange!! Abundance can be your health, your vocation, career, friendships, relationships! https://youtu.be/jRegtSKAZDI?si=mbASBNtFRB8fLBO0 Mocktails WINE - It’s the season for imbibing too much spirits, wine etc. Let’s try MOCKTAILS instead.

AT OUR AGE: disrupting the pharmaceutical “Shockingly, in the USA, it’s not unusual for disadvantaged populations to suffer from rampant outbreaks of hookworm. Normally the drug prescribed for hookworm, Albendazole, can cost as much as $500 per course, making the drug out of reach for many in need. So we started off by donating more than 10,000 tablets of Albendazole to cure parasitic infections in the most affected areas of the southern US. Our goal is to dramatically reduce the cost of drugs like Albendazole, but we also think that it is just as important to introduce transparency to the pricing of drugs so patients know they are getting a fair price.Our cost for Albendazole is $26.08 per course. We mark that price up by 15% so we can continue to run the company and invest in disrupting the pricing of as many drugs as we possibly can.That makes the base price of the drug $30. Then we add on the actual cost, $5.00, that our pharmacy partners charge us to prepare and provide your prescription to you. https://v2.costplusdrugs.com/mission/ GUIDANCE Mark Cuban Cost plus company CREATE ACCOUNT HERE https://v2.costplusdrugs.com/mission/ ADVENTURE ADVENTURE AXS TV is a leading television, streaming, digital, and social music and entertainment brand owned and operated by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, Inc https://axs.tv/ DISCOVER ALYSSA'S COOKIES: Our goal was to create a cookie that was different from any store bought cookies or bars that are mostly dry and loaded with unwanted ingredients https://alyssascookies.com/ MY FAVORITE THINGS My online Fear of Public speaking Course Sample class and book a class here Get Rid of Enemy Words, those dreaded FILLER WORDS https://bit.ly/3ZB2muG https://calendly.com/vahail1956/30min valerie@allinourminds.com

Have you ever experienced an UNEXPECTED ACT OF KINDNESS? Most of us have .. however.. I want us to think about acts of kindness in our businesses. Let’s consider the possibility of choosing a business because we witnessed an unexpected act of kindness from a potential business. For example, the Tax Expert whom I am now working with got me interested in choosing her because I witnessed three KIND ACTS during our networking meeting. Then as we continued to become familiar with each other, she offered services that showed empathy in my Capital Gains Tax Situation: I saw that Sheree White interacted with others in our networking group with focused listening and attention to what each member expressed, 2) She offered me flexible payment plans without pain to her or my cash flow, 3) She showed empathy and understanding of my anxiety and fear of owing the IRS so much money. 4) She reassured me that the situation can be rectified.

It’s natural to be frightened by me. Don’t stay frightened however Find a neighbor or nearby friend to relieve the fear Play cards or a game to take your mind off of my powerful rain and wind Don’t weather my storm by yourself. Stay in touch with someone in close proximity “But when you’re consumed with your own wants and needs, you lose touch with others who are involved in the uncertainty equation. This kind of self-centeredness is the opposite of what now is calling for.

Allow me to share my story of being saved by a technology QUEEN Here is one the most important aspects of SUZAN MYRTLE'S company, STUDIODOG: “If you are unhappy for any reason, please contact us and we will make it right. It's that simple.” https://studiodog Unsung heroines in technology such as website creation, marketing websites (seo), website hosting etc: WOMEN in this kind of technology are rare. I had a recent experience where I was being “ taken to the cleaners” by a creative company designing my new company logo and website. I realized I needed to move my business to someone I knew and trusted for twenty years. Studiodog was my choice. Owned by Suzan Myrtle, she is one of the most creative, responsive and honest people and companies that I have partnered with in my former business, Le PETIT CHATEAU INN. That business became a destination travel lodging because of the consistent professionalism of StudioDog. The beautiful website and consistent expertise was constantly applauded by guests. When you visit Studiodog's website and see the vast array of website designs for hundreds of different businesses, you know you are in the right place. StudioDog's representation runs the gamut of association websites to wedding websites. Lesson learned : Work with a company that has longevity Do more than scratch the surface when you receive a referral.

Selling your Stuff and the Wicked Capital Gains Tax. Remember when George Carlin did a skit on STUFF? His one line about how we all have houses for our STUFF. Then… we need to buy a bigger house to move all our stuff to because we out grew the first house.. That transaction of selling the first house will trigger a capital gain tax. And it can be wicked. At Our Age… we are downsizing and selling our stuff: Our primary residence, vacation rentals, rental properties. Possibly renting now or moving into a condo with no maintenance. I am experiencing the shock, actually, of realizing a huge Capital Gain Tax from owning rental properties and an inn for twenty two years in new York. I am sharing the journey with folks as I believe a lot of folks do not prepare for this large taxable event. My personal advice is to know this : you can only deduct the last three years of improvements before the sale. Therefore keep really good records of any improvements and other deductions that will lessen the Capital Gains Tax. I am now working with a TAX EXPERT ( Sheree White) because the accountants did not know how to work with Capital Gains Tax. She is also an IRS enrolled agent which makes her qualified to manage the issues. Moreover.. SHE TALKS TO THE IRS so you don’t have to be on the phone with them for hours.

HACKING UNCERTAINTY When something bad happens it doesn’t mean it will harm us “NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS BAD COMES TO HURT US” Italian proverb How do we deal with with uncertainty? We ignore it, we run from it we actually try to control it. However we can never manage uncertainty.That’s like managing time. Only our tasks can be controlled with time as the same with uncertainty, meaning we manage our selves in uncertain times Three steps to take: 1)Your attitude 2)Your response to “ catastrophic “ situations. Don’t REACT.

While this lifestyle can be exciting and rewarding, it also comes with its challenges. Digital nomads have to deal with issues such as finding reliable internet connections, managing their finances and taxes across multiple countries, and dealing with the loneliness that can come with being away from home and friends for long periods of time. Nonetheless, this trend is rapidly growing and many people are choosing to pursue this lifestyle.

European Portuguese is tricky.. Digital nomads are often attracted to this lifestyle because it allows them to experience new cultures and lifestyles, meet new people and gain new perspectives while still maintaining their professional lives. They are able to work from anywhere in the world as long as they have an internet connection and a laptop. Learn the culture.

Digital Nomads stats 16.9 million (USA) have “ditched the office” for this new adventurous work and lifestyle. Double that world wide for this trend. These folks are not living paycheck to paycheck either. According to Nick’s research on average, their monthly income is $4.5 (USA). People think that the digital nomad life is for the young and adventurous. Not so. Their numbers increasingly are 50’s and 60’s because they want to work but on their own projects, their own time, their own location. For instance, Portugal has it’s own visa specifically for Digital Nomads.

AT OUR AGE: UNSUNG HEROINES Not all super heroes wear capes. This is a story about a professional woman of a certain age still saving people from the clutches of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).Sheree White began her career in bookkeeping at sixteen and realized that she loved that and working in the tax industry. She explained to me that there is big difference between a tax expert and your CPA, (Certified Public Accountant). Her claim to fame is working with the IRS and knowing the important information in dealing with the IRS. She does this through attending many Continuing Education courses that are taught by IRS professionals. Her firm, BUSINESS SERVICES 4 U LLC was created in 2012, located in West Palm Beach, Florida. This is a full service firm including payroll, tax resolution and tax preparation. sheree@bizsvc4u.com You can meet her online or in person!

Unique Baseball Plays, Unlikely Partners This is not what you think.. I am showing unique baseball plays because I really do appreciate the athletic prowess, the humor and camaraderie of fans and the teams.. and sometimes the utmost impossible plays of the teams in the outfield. This time it’s about unusual alliances in sportsmanlike conduct: Such as SAVANNAH BANANAS https://youtube.com/shorts/IuGJVN2aFrY?si=W43QQVxwtZzur2gP And this video is of one the fans, outfielders, just good stuff https://youtube.com/shorts/_eW0ShNZWfg?si=YId_HGsu0_Vbs7-w As to Unlikely Partners… FARM SANCTUARY - The founder of FARM SANCTUARY, Gene Bauer, found Hilda, a sheep, discarded on a pile of dead animals at a Pennsylvania stockyard. Hilda appeared lifeless. She was so weak that she could barely lift her head to see who had come to her rescue. I feature Farm Sanctuary rather than my usual ROMANCE segue from baseball because this segment is a story about an unusual non- profit that rescues FARM ANIMALS from certain cruelty and gruesome deaths..I know the world will never stop eating processed animals.. however… if this nonprofit can enlighten a few people about the farm animals being rescued from a cruel life, perhaps you’ll consider donating to FARM SANTUARY. There is no need for farm animals to experience a horrifying death or live their daily existence under inhumane conditions. Farm Sanctuary | We Envision a World Where Sanctuary Replaces Exploitation https://www.farmsanctuary.org/ The FARM SANCTUARY IS GOOD STUFF..My idea is to help people become AWARE that FARM animals experience a new kind of love in this environment. The unlikely partnership between humans and these farm animals is now being shared with others throughtout the U.S.Folks who never gave a thought to how their “protein” came to their plate can become aware that dignity and humane treatment belongs to all of us.

May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, now 99, comes from an ancient line of Bordeaux wine-growers and brokers and an Anglo-Spanish family from the Philippines. Having married a career army officer, she led a nomadic life with her children before drawing lots to determine the allocation of her father’s legacy and ending up with the vineyard of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac.

Baseball Ejections, Romantic Rejections The crazy umpires and their constant ejections all point to a power play, anger out of control. It sets a tone for the game and it isn’t a fun sport any longer when you watch these men eject players and coaches. In one instant the umpire ejected the coach before the game even started. https://youtu.be/kVoxJLRBsOI?si=0LJMWP1LWkSvKFL_ What’s to be done.. Read some of the comments on this video because there are some good points. I think the biggest issue is to limit the power of these umps because it really is getting out of control . Honestly… these umpires need a therapist to help them with their anger issues… Choose another emotion for goodness sake… As in control of anger, first, learn to listen, offer solutions.. When it comes to rejections in a relationship most of us react with anger also… some of us storm out as angry umpires, lots of crying most likely and blame ourselves for the rejection. However… being rejected is part of the relationship journey and it isn’t easy. Mat Boggs is a great relationship guru with some pointers on how to build your self confidence after a romantic rejection.. Spoiler —- this is a bit long so scroll to the part where he talks about writing yourself three letters. Even that is bit much so shorten it so that his suggestions fit your mental state. https://youtube.com/shorts/2d1dUytqPx4?si=-hmV8-WevTQU5lHq Three suggestions https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx5n3DzdefHebyFhyGf7ELKhL2yEPSxbeP?si=Kh4y8K2fejYfrs-I Kundalini yoga ANGER KRIYA 3 minutes — it works.

CLEARING the BENCHES & FAIR FIGHTING Orioles & Yankees I’m confused as to why the players do this… however when you see these two clips, evidently the NY YANKEES ENJOY hitting their opponents with the ball. Viciously. When you watch these video you see why the ORIOLES were so riled https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxFTgNUR37ef4NYjrKDICz566liCC1ymma?si=QifaKXZv2eVnc2UN https://youtu.be/05FMlCFNvmI?si=rhtmKeG8c1XnMpP4 https://youtube.com/shorts/Sv4OhMxdDic?si=-GbqlweEaYNuChKz While I realize that it’s an impossible task to teach the NY YANKEES how to play fair…lets go over some rules that can apply in everyday CONFRONTATIONS: FAIR FIGHTING: Mat Boggs shares with us the five Relationship Conflict Resolution Techniques. These are appropriate for our workplace, spouse, significant other - even our children. And the BASEBALL FIELD The first one is name calling. And it sounds like this. "You are so stupid. You are a jerk. What an idiot." (That’s toxic. We've all been there.) Either we've learned this when we were growing up, or we have just installed it in our system. One of the ways to stop that is, deep breathing. Ask yourself do you want the drama in your life? No name calling. We want to resolve this. We want this to be a win-win. The second step is labeling. Don’t do that: it’s is similar to name calling, but it sounds like this. “You are just like your father. That's why you can't get ahead. Or your behavior is just like the guys you hang out with. You're never going to be anything more than them. You're always going to be a loser.” Yeah, don't do that. Let's not label people.. We've learned that probably at a young age. And we're seeing it a lot in our environment today.Stop name calling, stop labeling, stop the emotional baggage, avoid using these two deadly words in confrontations: ALWAYS, NEVER, Kundalini Yoga ANGER MANAGEMENT This is a great exercise to manage and get rid of anger. even kids can do this.. three minutes max: https://youtu.be/ckO8aCA5HQw?feature=shared Wine MOCKTAILS MOCKTAILS Classic cocktails are great, but don’t be afraid to play around and invent your own drink!

Baseball, Romance, Announcers, & Music Baseball has to have the right announcers to be truly enjoyed… their excitement, their tone of voice makes the game more exciting right? I see a lot of great baseball plays on YouTube. The announcer always adds an extra thrill to the games. Baseballs being caught at 100 mph bare handed, acrobatic leaps and catches, painful slides.. The really good announcers describe these amazing plays with such verve, your imagination ALMOST fills in the actual plays… but not quite. Because really you want the real action . Even more importantly, the announcers have to know how to describe each play when they are calling plays because millions do just listen to the game rather than watch it .Vince Scully goes down in History as the best announcer because he could paint that picture of each play. The baseball announcer is absolute key to the enjoyment and thrill of the game. Here's a great example: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx0en_jtZtylCexb1M5NVTA7VZ8A3sOpnA?si=rOwQootaS6T8r6X7 MAKING A QUANTUM LEAP to ROMANCE and MUSIC:: romance fits into this lighthearted summer topic AND BILL SCALZITTI informs us that Romance needs the right kind of… MUSIC especially romantic music. A former musician, Mr. Scalzitti introduces us to a unique program that teaches us how to create our own boundaries on finding romance: online dating, geographical boundaries, deal breakers.. most importantly discovering your self worth so that you attract the love you deserve.. When you visit the home page look at the middle of the page: Five lines begin with the word IMAGINE… thoughts become things when you use your imagination. https://www.romancebychoice.com/ We all hear about the law of attraction.. UNIVERSAL LAWS.. the law of Vibration is the first law you want to harness. Bill does just that when you apply his teachings of self discovery for your self worth. You can learn manifestation through his seven hour audio lesson and the ROMANCE BY CHOICE workbook. Following his lessons and guidance is paramount, Utmost; doing the work required to create your self worth is tantamount to success. Even though nothing is guaranteed in our world.. his program is the perfect road map to attract that special someone.

The Negro Leagues, MLB and HALL OF FAME: The Controversy Many of America's most talented ballplayers wrote their legends outside the Majors. Jackie Robinson broke that barrier when he debuted with the Dodgers in 1947, but it would take another 24 years -- and a public plea from Ted Williams -- for the Hall to induct its first Negro League star. This article has a rundown of each of the 35 Negro Leagues stars enshrined in Cooperstown. The inductees are listed in chronological order, beginning with Satchel Paige's landmark election to the Class of 1971. https://www.mlb.com/history/negro-leagues/f Major League Baseball was segregated from 1887 through 1946. The integration of Major League Baseball happened at the beginning of the 1947 MLB season when Jackie Robinson played his first game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Negro_league_baseball_players_who_played_in_Major_League_Baseball https://youtu.be/01qMbIOA0pk?si=NJfbSrhiMmrpQbKZ Kundalini Yoga: Dump your past with this short kriya to get rid of all the regrets, could’ve, should’ve, would’ve : https://youtu.be/HboowUqCidk?feature=shared Wine - South African tribute to GLENELLY.

AT OUR AGE is a special podcast that I create to feature everyday people doing extraordinary projects, having a full lifestyle even in their seventies, eighties and beyond. People who are sixty-five and older are my focus on this special podcast. I highlight people who are active and adventurous: John is the first being interviewed. He plays bacci, tennis, he is our master "composter" at our Gulfport Community Volunteer garden. He does this and more with eleven grandchildren. Nice one minute interview and you'll never guess his age because he exudes youthful humor and energy. The second interview is with George, our garden resurrectionist.. he rescued our Gulfport community garden that had been neglected. He has been the "planting orchestrator" for over nine years. Even more interesting is that he travels to the Western U.S. from May through mid October in his renovated "camper van" that has everything for comfort. He is a fun west coast swing dancer ( I knew him in NY and we had lots of fun dances together), he and his wife still venture to partner dances. He has begun playing pickleball.

Stories:Baseball Stadiums and Romantic Places Most of us know or have visited COOPERSTOWN, NY the Baseball Hall of Fame. It is a great place to visit - off the beaten path but surrounded by lush hills and close enough to the Finger Lakes to enjoy NY wine country. I used to be a great batter in the batting cages. The last time I was there all the balls came out at me at once. I screamed like a girl. An unusual historical baseball stadium is located there, DOUBLEDAY FIELD. This stadium has been there since 1920. Historically, the annual Hall of Fame Game was held there until 1908. Also noteworthy, FENWAY PARK, located in Boston, home to the Boston Red Sox 1912. Famous for its tallest stadium wall in the U.S, the GREEN MONSTER, it's the original WALL. Lastly, WRIGLEY FIELD, located in a neighborhood of Chicago and home to the Chicago Cubs.This location is surrounded by restaurants, bars and residences! The neighbors can watch the game right from their rooftops. https://www.sports-management-degrees.com/lists/5-historical-baseball-stadiums/ Romantic places for me will always be in France.

Simone Biles, a designated GOAT ( Greatest of All Time) should not need an introduction. Perhaps some of you don’t know that she was raised by exceptional foster parents. She is a victorious survivor of abuse by her former OLYMPIC coach. Here is her COME BACK routine where she absolutely stuns us all. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxffYmmuRVLOLsuDA59QQFxvh3C3rsguJ2 Another humble athlete who exhibits humility is https://youtube.com/shorts/KVxbDazibEA?feature=share hits the ball out of the stadium 450 feet I love that he hits a foul out of the stadium at 114 mph and doesn’t even show emotion. There you have it. Humility wins with heroes/heroines and role models. Kundalini yoga - this quote is from tut.com: "Relax. Breathe in deep. Hold it. Let it out. Loosen your shoulders. Smile. Close your eyes. And you’ll be surprised, dear Valerie, by how many voices you'll hear, whispering sweet encouragement into your ear.Kissy, kissy, you can do it - The Universe" I also practice QI CHONG for high blood pressure https://youtu.be/Zwk_JmnfFAY. Use this to lower blood pressure. I practice it a few times a week Wine - Can the bottling of wine and spirits be ecologically responsible? “ natural resources are extracted, not used to their fullest potential, and then turned to waste. It has facilitated efficient mass production, but at the cost of a colossal waste and natural resources crisis. Wine bottles, even if recycled, carry an enormous carbon footprint. “ "When you manufacture a glass bottle you need temperatures of 1,480 Celsius [2,700 Fahrenheit] for 24 hours, a bit less if it’s recycled material. We wash for 30 minutes at a maximum temperature of 80 Celsius [176 Fahrenheit]. I take into account that sometimes we need to buy new bottles, but even so our carbon footprint is 10 times lower than it would be,” says Grafé.

ROMANCE and BASEBALL: DREAMS Fulfilled There are certain songs that take us back to our first love encounter, perhaps a summer love or even now if you are blessed with having that special person in your life...Music reminds us of many dreams, which we all want to be fulfilled. Price Pritchett talks about the effect of YOU2 (you squared) : “This is a Quantum Leap strategy, that can deliver those special dreams and ambitions that you instinctively feel should be yours." Even when it comes to one's romance and love life, YOU2 can be followed. Life changes will happen for what you deserve. (The process its laid out in his classic handbook, YOU2) . When I think of Romance, for my past, I remember listening to SADE, https://youtu.be/zwDjJP_l5AY?si=tPKyA8GpE64iqkoR Or songs that have nothing to do with Romance , but make you feel on top of the world, or dancing alone.. here are a few suggestions; https://youtu.be/k0YFY0CcqjM Bodeans GOOD THINGS Now Baseball, is the epitome of summer fun and happiness. The game can also represent dreams fulfilled..so many athletes striving for greatness during their games... I feel very happy when I watch baseball as do millions of people.. and here’s why: many times you get to witness the commaraderie of the team mates, the playful antics, the pranksters.. check this out: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxZXLfmzMuCBebVzcbiyQCZTQwmaPxInZT?si=SrGz1tHA9rx70AiW The idea is that we all have hidden gifts, potential assets that go unused. We want to open those gifts as Price Pritchett tells us. Even in Romance and Baseball, there are choices that we make which are life changing. And that’s just it… when it comes to CHANGE, many of us chicken out.

Shohei, Taylor, Quantum Leaps: Baseball, Romance, Luck? I don’t usually talk about celebs, however there is a correlation here that I want to make between Shohei, Taylor and Quantum Leaps. Quantum Leaps, according to Price Pritchett lead to explosive results. We all have the capacity for Quantum Leaps. Pritchett tells us, “ we get in our way” of being open to them. I am using these two celebs as examples because, while they are both young, they have already experienced difficult times, persevered, now laser focused to reach their penultimate. Here are the takeaways: look at the five closest people you hang out with: are they people who you respect and can support each other in life’s path? Stop wasting time on social media, Netflix, etc: Dr.Pritchett tells us that we use only ten% of our potential and waste sixty hours a week on the above. This summer do something that opens you up to quantum leaps. ( suggestions in the podcast) Price Pritchett Quantum Leaps clip https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxB_EQz9RFfdMXQPfcfxI1zcxv8WQ4voHV?si=yNQNYHzu8CrxStKe Shohei’s humor. https://youtube.com/shorts/d4b8mJPontw?si=FyqklRo5IZdNaGv5 Kundalini Yoga - practice this prosperity kriya.

Prosperity and Protection https://youtu.be/AxefrkDOOY8?feature=shared Wine - Champagne Demystified Champagne is the only wine that leaves a woman beautiful after drinking it.” Madame De Pompadour Champagne, the king of wines in France, is so misunderstood by many Americans as they like to call anything that has “bubbles”, champagne. I know this from my own experience of twenty-six years of selling French wine and other imports. I don’t correct them but I can guide them to the ultra difference between Champagne and Prosecco, Cava, Cremants, and America To clarify, Champagne - true Champagne, not the California illegally labeled champagne, can only be made in Champagne, France. Champagne is a specific region with very strict laws governing varietal, aging and production. To call American bubbles, Champagne is akin to calling all “sneakers” NIKE… Champagne HOUSES, have a distinct style of their own: the blend of varietals is usually a combination of Chardonnay, Petit Meunier and Pinot Noir. The HOUSE style never Never. It is extremely difficult to produce the exact same flavor profile every year. Champagne by law must be aged at least two years before it is sold publicly. Krug ages their wines for at least five years before their entry level wine is sold. That is very expensive inventory. The process of creating a House style is technically challenging as the first fermentation basically prepares the wine for the crucial disgorgement to add the “dosage.” Think of this dosage as a “house secret sauce.” The second fermentation rests and ferments while the Champagne master turns each bottle by hand a quarter of inch. This process is called “ riddling”. It is labor intensive as each bottle is turned a quarter of an inch by hand. Up to 40,000 bottles a day is common and the remueur, the riddler, is making certain that the dosage and yeasts are blended into the wine bottle. Today, it is more common to see mechanization of this process by gyropalettes.
