Possibly the world’s most valuable Ford offered for sale
The origin of the Ford GT40 is perhaps one of the greatest stories in all of automobiledom: It was a four-wheeled “screw you” delivered from Henry Ford II to Enzo Ferrari. (Photo courtesy of Pawel Litwinski | RM Auctions)

RM Auctions of Blenheim, Ontario will be auctioning a rare open Ford GT40 prototype at its sale in Monterey, California this August. Although the auction company hasn’t disclosed a pre-sale estimate, it will almost certainly be in eight figures and set a world record for a Ford-badged vehicle sold at auction. Full story and video

"He can't talk, so how will he tell anyone if he gets lost?"
Mumbai (AFP) – The nine-year-old boy dressed in blue lay listlessly on the pavement in the scorching Mumbai summer afternoon, his ankle tethered with rope to a bus stop, unheeded by pedestrians strolling past.

Lakhan Kale cannot hear or speak and suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy, so his grandmother and carer tied him up to keep him safe while she went to work, selling toys and flower garlands on the city's roadsides. Read full story

Nothing, but sad news, everywhere… It's not easy to live in the world filled with greed and hatred. Everywhere we go, we hear nothing, but unpleasant news, the kind of news that could easily disturb our peace of mind. No matter what happens, never give up faith because faith brings us hope…

We do not need to wait for a great leader to bring peace to the world. Do not forget: A journey for Peace begins with us. Each step is a prayer, each step will build a bridge. We must build a strong shelter, through the practice of pure kindness and compassion, in order the keep our faith strong, so we can be protected from all kinds of weather in this wicked world…  ~Jendhamuni

Helping others who suffer to cope and overcome their grief is a great gift of kindness. 

It is clear that the greater your sense of altruism, the more you work for the welfare of others, the greater will be your own satisfaction. And when you come to die you’ll be able to go with confidence. As you dedicate yourself to working for others, your own interests will incidentally be fulfilled. Selfishness and self-centredness, on the other hand, lead to anxiety and suspicion, poor health and a decline in well-being.

 May the supreme and precious awakening mind 
 Arise where it has not yet arisen. 
 And where it has declined or does not exist, 
 May it flourish and keep growing. 

~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

1. Don't stress if communication is not possible. Take into account where they are. If they're cut off from technology, stop waiting for the phone to ring or for them to sign on to AIM. You know it won't happen, so why stress it? Even if they might have computer or phone access, don't wait by the phone for hours or be signed into AIM every free second. It'll only make you miss them more.

2. Distract yourself. Plan a night with friends to get your mind off your significant other. If all your friends seem to have deserted you too, get out of the house. Go to the mall or the grocery store. Take a walk. Mail that package you "forgot" about.

3. Know that while it may not seem that way, they'll be back soon. If you find yourself missing them, tell yourself that and find something else to do/think about.

4. If none of these tips work, consider finding out if the next time your significant other is on a trip, you can find some way to either go with them or vacation near where they'll be. For example, if they'll be in (or near) a big city like Los Angeles or New York, you could probably go with them and have fun. Or if they're near only near a big city, you could visit the city and just drop in for a visit.

5. Don't act as if you won't survive without them. It only makes the situation worse. Sure, you miss them, but there are other important things in life.

6. Do little things that make you feel closer to him/her–wear his jackets, eat at your favorite restaurant, or look at pictures. It's comforting to go back through good memories.

7. Try and do something special for his or her return. Planning it will help channel your excitement and keep you distracted, as well as make you feel like they'll be back sooner.

8. Don't talk to friends about how much you miss your significant other unless you know that they will be understanding and actually comfort you. People telling you to "get over it" often don't understand that feeling of missing someone intensely and will make you feel worse.
