As a contemporary-day hippie/bohemian/free spirit, I discover that it's often hard for me (and others like me) to find a job, a secure earnings, or any money at all typically! So I decided to jot down this text as a useful resource for all of the hippies, bohemians, and free spirits out there who're creative, hardworking, and easily have to discover a approach to make ends meet, do what they want for once, or change careers and existence altogether. I truly hope it helps individuals.
Good luck to you Illesha! I became a cardiac sonographer and actually get pleasure from it. There are some good jobs on this checklist that shouldn't be too lengthy of a experience for you. Just analysis each and find out the best for you. Check on how many hours a day you will work, pay, and if it's bodily ample for you and you will make the correct alternative. When they're still young from 1-7 years old,mother and father can take accountable for all their wants,at any time when they grow up teenager,their opinion being accounted for in the is what most dad and mom leftover when mentioning their kids.
Thank you for sharing all this Amiemost interesting. I at all times recognize a visit from you. Hope life is going nicely for you. If you are feeling you'd benefit from discussing this further, then e book a careers appointment on MCH Or, you would try out a few of our i nteractive net-based programs to get you fascinated by what you need for the longer term. Hi, Melissa. I'm sorry you are having such a tough time together with your chemistry course! Organic chemistry generally is a challenging topic. Good luck for subsequent semester!!
The interview process at Ally is thorough and the process size varies by role and degree in the group. It generally begins with an preliminary phone screening to get a little bit extra element about how your abilities and curiosity could match a position. The subsequent step is an interview with the hiring supervisor and probably several further interviews depending on the place.
In addition to stable grades, the appliance committee will expect to see high scores on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or acceptable substitute standardized check. Letters of recommendation and a well-written statement of your intentions are also given high rating in the evaluations process. More than one of my university contemporaries has remarked that the whole purpose of four years of English composition classes was to organize for writing the 2-paragraph graduate faculty application essay!

The Way I Saw It
Our airport
Is it a virus? Maybe an itch that just needs to be scratched ever so often. Whichever your columnist was infected, badly infected, a long time ago and the itch continues every nice day even now.
|Dick Trail
In my day the McCook airport, built after the war, consisted of three intersecting grass runways. There were two hangars and a small flight shack for pilots to gather. No airline terminal and not a bit of concrete to be found. Ben Frank ran the business, fixing airplanes, pumping gas, $0.37 per gallon, plus spraying crops with his fleet of J-3 Cubs. Ben also farmed producing crops on all the arable land that wasn't dedicated to runways. He employed a couple other mechanics who doubled as spray pilots and helped him to teach others to fly.
The airport was a friendly place, especially for kids to hang out, touch airplanes, ask a million questions and beg rides. My dad owned a 1939, 50 horsepower, J-3 that he usually kept tied down under a big elm tree on our farm. For me to learn he moved our airplane to the airport where it was hangared tipped up on its nose back to belly with Ben's other Cubs in the big hangar. Best I remember he paid my instructors $3.00 per hour to teach me the basics.
Oh, how things have changed! Now our runways and taxiways are all paved in concrete. We have a nice airline terminal. There are 43 individual city-owned hangars rented to various airplane owners plus a thriving Fixed Base Operation, FBO in aviation talk meaning maintenance and overhaul plus fuel sales, Av Gas $4.75/gal and large hangars for transient aircraft. Even a couple of us private individuals possess our own hangars. Taken as an economic entity our airport was estimated to produce for our community some $8.91 million worth of positive economic impact including a total annual payroll of $1.28 million at a last study done by the State of Nebraska in 2002. Probably way more today.
There are many airports across the nation where people live in homes with personal hangars attached or close by with access to a runway. For instance, the Leeward Air Ranch where my cousin and her husband lives in Florida. The code is that if the hangar door is open visitors are welcome. Friends, neighbors and even outsiders stop by to chat, look at the airplanes, especially homebuilt aircraft in progress of building and kibitz with the owners. . People gather to barbeque, eat together and maybe even nip an adult beverage after flying is finished for the day. Aviation is the attraction much like what happens every morning as friends gather to visit and swap "knowledge" at our local coffee shops. I have been privileged to visit the Stearman Airport in Wichita a flying community that boasts a really nice restaurant always busy with local residents and people from town who obviously savor the ambiance. I'd love to have something like that here.
Sadly though, in my opinion, our own local airport has lost its reputation as a friendly place to visit. For one the entire perimeter has been enclosed with a chain-link "wildlife" fence. For sure the occasional deer and coyote are kept out but foxes burrow under and enjoy their safe haven as do geese that somehow seem oblivious to the fence. People, however, are kept controlled; only allowed to come and go through locked gates. TSA is present and zealously controls access to the flight line in accordance with their charter to keep air travelers safe. Maybe that is the way it has to be but no more young kids, aspiring pilots, riding their bicycles out from town to watch, rub shoulders with pilots and beg rides to contract the aviation virus. No wonder that this country is currently facing a dire airline pilot shortage—kids don't get a chance to satisfy their curiosity about learning to fly.
How to make our airport more visitor friendly? I'd love to make modifications to the inside of my hangar and simply move in full time. Grannie Annie says that isn't going to happen and that is final! How about allowing people to build homes with attached hangars inside or outside the wire so that they could simply taxi to existing taxiways and use the airport as is? In fact there is a platted addition just outside the fence on the east side of our airport designed to do just that. Only one home built there and no access to a runway.
All those ideas are non-starters because some bureaucrat in Washington has decreed that if an airport accepts federal aid to build and maintain an airport there can be no access for residents who want to live on that airport. No full-time residents allowed. No matter that that federal aid comes from taxes levied on the sale of aviation fuel. A dumb rule in my opinion but it is what it is.
That is how I saw it.

"Science fiction is one of the more secluded parade grounds where private
fantasy and public event meet. They call it entertainment". (Aldiss Billion 1)
This quote is interpreted to mean that, in the genre of science fiction there is
a fusion of fantasy and reality. It is this combination of two opposites that
produces the novel categorized today as science fiction. There is one aspect of
science fiction that separates it from any other genre. Science fiction can be
written as fantasy one day, and read as scientific fact the next. Jules Verne
has written about man setting foot on the moon. When read by its original
readers the idea of space travel was not a reality. It is now common knowledge
that man has walked on the moon, and when this novel is read today no longer i....

The Caribbean is known for its gorgeous beaches, lush vegetation, and tropical vacation getaways, but it is also home to some of the poorest people in the western hemisphere. Natural disasters, crowded living conditions, and oppresive governments are a more familiar reality to the people living in these areas than the beautiful travel brochures depict. People in the Caribbean often live with little hope and need the gospel to show them what true hope looks like. Cityview partners with East West Ministries and local church planters to further the gospel in the Caribbean by encouraging local pastors and participating in door to door evangelism.

Throughout the current economic expansion, we have seen sentiment oscillate often between pessimism and optimism. Lately, it seems that the tide has ebbed back to the pessimistic side. Weak results in a number of economic releases have once more called into question the strength of the U.S. economy, as well as the likelihood that the Fed will be confident enough to raise interest rates before the end of the year.
The swings in sentiment are understandable, considering underlying U.S. trend growth has been frustratingly slow, while quarterly GDP has been particularly volatile. Yet, through all the ups and downs, the U.S. economy has proven to be relatively durable, especially in the face of ongoing global headwinds.
Much of the resilience is attributable to the considerable improvement over the past several years in domestic economic fundamentals. In our minds, the current growth scare is due to transitory factors and ongoing weakness in manufacturing in response to the rise in the value of the dollar, rather than a more alarming deterioration in broader domestic economic conditions.
For example, the slowdown in third-quarter U.S. economic growth to 1.5% from a very strong 3.9% in the second quarter was disappointing on the surface (Figure 1). However, details in the BEA's GDP release reveal an economy that is in better shape than what is captured by the headlines. The slower pace of growth was mainly due to a big drag from inventories, largely related to cutbacks from export-oriented manufacturers, which we do not anticipate will be repeated in the fourth quarter.
Indeed, once inventories and trade are stripped out, the data shows that final sales to domestic purchasers (a much better gauge of underlying demand and predictor of future GDP) rose at a healthy 2.9%. This is a good indication that the broader U.S. economy appears to be taking weakness from abroad in stride.
The consumer sector, in particular, continues to be a bright spot. The significant improvement made to consumer finances, along with continuing job and income gains, has for some time now been translating into better spending growth. Since the start of 2014, real consumer spending gains have averaged a healthy 3.1%, which is a sharp pickup over the more modest 2.2% average rate seen since the recovery began.
The other positive development on the home front is that housing continues to boost overall economic activity. Americans are forming new households and buying new homes at an increasing rate. This not only should help support housing demand and overall construction for years to come, but we believe it also bodes well for future overall economic growth.
Against this positive backdrop, the chief cause for concern (particularly for policymakers) has been the slowdown in China and its ramifications for the rest of the world. Still, incoming data continues to indicate that fears about the global economy being in the throes of a broad-based downturn are overstated. The Chinese economy is going through a painful and somewhat messy economic rebalancing process, but its increasingly important service sector has been resilient (we believe a hard landing is still only a low-risk outcome). Meanwhile, recent business surveys suggest that activity in advanced economies has held up well over the last several months.
What all this means for the Fed and the potential of the first rate hike in nearly a decade remains an open question. Market forecasters are now roughly split over the odds of a December rate hike (Figure 2). In our analysis, conditions in larger domestic parts of the economy where monetary policy has the most influence appear strong enough to justify higher interest rates.
The Fed, on the other hand, is not yet entirely convinced and has made it no secret that its decision to raise rates would be "data dependent." However, should domestic strength persist and continue to outweigh the related weakness in the international markets, it likely will not be long before policymakers decide to start their long-anticipated gradual tightening cycle.
The Federal Open Market Committee (the monetary policymaking arm of the Fed) met in late October and decided to keep short-term interest rates unchanged (interest rates have been at the near-zero level for almost seven years). The Fed hinted to raising rates at its next meeting in mid-December.
The Fed's overall outlook on the economy is that growth is expanding at a moderate pace, driven by increased household spending and business investment. Inflation continues to trend below the Fed target level of 2%. The Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (core-PCE) Price Index (the Fed's preferred proxy of inflation) is at 1.3% and has not been above 2% since early 2012. The core-PCE Price Index has been held down by energy prices and other imports. The Fed expects it to move toward the target level as the labor market continues to improve and the energy and import prices dissipate.
For the second meeting in a row, the Fed discussed international events and noted that it is monitoring global economic and financial developments.
Although gains in employment have been on a positive track for five years, the recent employment report was a letdown. Not only did the gain in nonfarm payrolls come in at a disappointing 142,000 (30% below the expected 200,000), but there were notable downward revisions to the August and July releases (a total combined reduction of 59,000). Results are usually lower than expected, due to seasonal quirks or specific events, such as bad weather, occurring during the week that the Bureau of Labor Statics does its survey. However, that did not happen last month. What makes this even more frustrating is that these numbers pulled down the rolling six-month average gain to 199,000. It peaked this past February at 282,000 (Figure 3).
Important to note is that the average hourly earnings were unchanged for the month, keeping the yearly change at just 2.2%. For the past five years, this proxy for wage gains has been averaging just 2%.
In a separate labor report, the unemployment rate held steady at 5.1% for the second month in a row. It has continued to improve; in September 2014 it was 5.9% and in September 2013 it was 7.2%.
The Core Consumer Price Index (core-CPI), which excludes food and energy prices, has ticked up to 1.9%, the highest reading since July 2014. Housing, the biggest component of the index (with a weighting of about half of the index) is up 2.1% over the past year.
There are several CPI calculations, with the most common being the headline CPI, or CPI-U (U stands for urban consumers). CPI-U includes the food and energy components not reported in core-CPI. CPI-U had a 0% change over the past year, due in part to the 18.4% plunge in energy costs. For example, the subcomponent gasoline, which makes up 4.4% of the CPI Index, fell 30% in the past year.
Another inflation proxy is CPI-W (W stands for wage earners and clerical workers), which also registered no change over the past year. This proxy of inflation is used for the cost of living adjustment (COLA) for Social Security benefits. Thus, there will be no increase in 2016 benefits. Ever since 1975, the benefit increase has been COLA adjusted (prior to that, benefit increases were set by legislation). This marks the third time in the past 40 years that there has been no change to this index (Figure 4). All three of those times have occurred since 2010.
American households have turned slightly more anxious in the past month or so, most likely due to the downshift in the pace of job growth, weakness in the manufacturing and energy sectors, and the ongoing policy debates in Washington. Nevertheless, we believe the long-term trend continues to be favorable. Consumer confidence has been moving in an upward direction ever since the end of the recession, more than six years ago (Figure 5). The confidence polls tend to follow employment gains and the stock market – both have been in positive territory for about the same period of time.
The subcomponents of the recent surveys are encouraging and point to a stronger consumer in the future. Overall, this is leading many forecasters to believe that consumption will continue to grow around 3% this year, supporting overall GDP growth. Home purchase plans, which measure the intent to purchase a home in the next six weeks, have moved up in the past two months. This is giving further support to the housing market, which continues to strengthen.

Refugee crisis: latest news from across Europe (12.4.16)
Statewatch News Online, April 2016
- European Commssion: Communicatio:
Assessment of Greece's Action Plan to remedy the serious deficiencies identified in the 2015 evaluation on the application of the Schengen acquis in the field of management of the external border
(COM 220-16, pdf): Still no mention of the need for lawyers with access to refugees and:
"As far as information about accommodation possibilities from the Hellenic Police to migrants who are not staying in a reception/registration or detention centre is concerned, Greece is requested to implement the measures without delay."
and Report:
Second report on relocation and resettlement
(COM 222-16, pdf):
"From 16 March until 11 April, only 208 additional people had been relocated, 46 from Greece (to Estonia, Portugal and Finland) and 162 from Italy (to Portugal, France, Finland and Romania), bringing the total number of persons relocated to 1,145 (615 from Greece and 530 from Italy)....
total number of formal pledges by Member States of relocation amounts to 4,516 (1,573 to Italy and 2,943 to Greece) 2.82% of total
. Austria, Croatia, Hungary and Slovakia have still not submitted any pledge. Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovenia have not yet delivered on their pledges"
Are You Syrious
"Greek council for Refugees voiced a strong critique of the changes in Greek laws which made possible for the provisions of the EU/Turkey deal to be carried out. The changes go against national and international law with GCR stating that "The enforcement of the measure involving deprivation of freedom without individual assessment continues"
(link) On the position of lawyers in Greece
European Parliament: GUE/NGL abstention largely due to lack of criticism of recent EU-Turkey deal on refugees
"Despite the positive points in the Metsola, Kyenge report on 'the situation in the Mediterranean and the need for a holistic EU approach to migration', voted in Parliament today, the lack of criticism concerning the recent EU-Turkey agreement was among the reasons why many members of the group were unable to back the report and abstained....
MEP Spinelli continues: "The main reason I recommended our group to abstain was, however, the complete absence of criticism of the recent EU-Turkey deal: a deal deemed illegal even by the UN secretary general's special representative for international migration and development for two fundamental reasons: it promotes collective deportations and considers Turkey as a safe third country.""
UNHCR stalling on commitments in Greece
(New Europe, link):
"With relocations of refugees from Greece to other EU Member States taking place at an alarmingly slow rate, and resettlements from Turkey commencing last week, governments have recognised that the refugee crisis in Greece and Europe cannot be solved without the effective participation of international organisations. The most important organisation, the UNHCR has fallen short of its commitments.
An EU source told New Europe that the European Commission could consider a partial recovery of the €80 million of EU taxpayers' money that was provided for the cause of developing reception places in Greece, "but would rather see the UNHCR deliver on its obligations."
In December, the European Commission agreed to provide the UNHCR with the sum of €80 million to develop 20,000 additional reception places for asylum seekers and relocation candidates in Greece through subsidies for housing in the private sector.
The UNHCR committed to use have the places ready by January this year. By March 11th, significantly past the deadline, 1,387 of the 20,000 reception places had been used through the scheme. The UNHCR capacity is currently 3,242 places; 16,758 places short."
- UNHCR: (11.4.16): Arrivals in EU total 2016: 173,728. In Greece 153,156 (up 175 since 8.4.6), in Italy 19,934 (up 608). 716 dead/missing this year.
Daily Report (11.4.16): "Regarding the clashes of last Sunday, Achilleas Tzemos, of Médecins Sans Frontičres (MSF), told Reuters that of more 30 of the 300 people treated had wounds caused by rubber bullets. A similar number had open wounds, and 200 others had respiratory problems resulting from exposure to teargas.
"Among those with breathing difficulties there were quite a few women and children," he said."
EU asylum applications from lone children quadruple
(euobserver, link):
"At least 95,000 unaccompanied children applied for asylum in Europe last year, four times the numbers for 2014.
The huge increase was discovered by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism during an investigation into the level of migration among unaccompanied children, defined as those under 18 years old, in Europe and the stark inconsistencies in the way they are treated.
From approaching 29 different governments for statistics, the investigators found that at least 95,070 applied for asylum in Europe in 2015, up from 23,572 in 2014."

Broad Bulgarian support for vigilantes 'arresting' refugees
(euractiv, link):
"An amateur video published on social media yesterday (11 April), showing the arrest of asylum seekers by vigilantes, sparked debates at political level and among the wider public about the role of so-called "patriots" in discouraging refugees from crossing through Bulgaria.The amateur shows vigilantes arresting three refugees, tying their hands behind their backs as they lie on the ground in a wood."

"Police have given an award to one of the voluntary 'border patrols' which have been gaining popularity in Bulgaria, with groups of ordinary people detaining migrants and handing them to the authorities."
- Greece:
Greece blasts FYROM over migrant border violence
(ekathimerini.com, link):
"Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accused neighboring Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on Monday of "shaming" Europe by firing tear gas and rubber bullets at migrants desperately trying to break through a border fence.
Tensions were still running high after Sunday's violence, which saw 250 migrants and refugees hurt at the flashpoint Idomeni crossing as they tried to force their way into FYROM. "Faced with people who were clearly not armed and constituted no serious threat, they attacked with chemicals, with tear gas and rubber bullets," Tsipras told reporters, blaming FYROM police.
"This is a great shame for European culture and for countries who want to be part of it," he said, calling on the EU and the UN refugee agency UNHCR to take a stand as Europe struggles cope with its worst migration crisis since World War II."
News (12.4.16)
UNHCR Daily Report (12.4.16):
"Speaking to public broadcaster ERT, Brigadier General Zacharoula Tsirigoti, head of Greece's immigration police, stated that about 3,500 people are currently located at the detention facility in Moria on the island of Lesvos. Almost all those present have expressed interest in submitting an application to request asylum; applications are now being processed. Of those, about 700 persons with specific needs have been transferred to the municipality's open accommodation centre in Kara Tepe. Tsirigoti also said the asylum service on Lesvos has been strengthened with an additional 46 staff and aims to examine 50 applications per day. She added that Syrian nationals who will be returned by plane to Turkey under the EU-Turkey agreement will be processed in Osmaniye Province (near Adana)."
, UNHCR issued a press release to express concern regarding the intended amendment of the Asylum Act. The draft law foresees limited access for asylum-seekers to the asylum procedure. The majority of those seeking international protection could, on the basis of this legislation, be rejected at the border in a fasttrack procedure and be returned to Austria's neighbouring countries unless having close family ties in Austria. UNHCR called for joint European solutions rather than unilateral measures. Furthermore, access to the territory and fair asylum procedures for all asylum-seekers, the respect for legal minimum standards, and special treatment for children and particularly vulnerable people were urged. UNHCR appeals to the Austrian Federal government to reconsider the proposed amendment and adopt measures in line with international and European refugee law."

NGOs slam Austria's asylum law changes
(The Local.at, link):
"Austria's biggest charities have joined forces to slam the government's increasingly hardline approach to dealing with migrants and refugees, in what is arguably the biggest criticism of the strategy from the country's NGO sector yet Caritas, Diakonie and the Austrian Red Cross - who all provide services to refugees as part of their work - spoke out at a press conference on Monday against a change to the country's asylum law. As of mid-May, the government will only accept cases of refugees facing threats to their safety in a neighbouring transit country or whose relatives are already in Austria.."
Migrant inflows ease on islands of eastern Aegean
(ekathimerini.com, link):
"in the 24-hour period to 9 a.m. on Tuesday, a total of 80 people landed on Greece's shores, a marked drop from the hundreds trying to enter the European Union daily before a deal with Turkey to curb inflows was put into effect at the start of the month. Of these 80, 75 landed on Lesvos, four on Chios and one on Samos. There were no Syrians among them, officials told the ANA-MPA."
Fifteen questioned as part of tighter policing of Idomeni refugee camp
(ekathimerini.com, link):
"Police on Tuesday remanded 13 foreign nationals and two Greeks at the makeshift refugee camp at Idomeni on Greece's northern border with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).... Most of the suspects are foreign nationals – from Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Portugal and the Czech Republic. They were questioned in connection with reports that Sunday's storming of the border, as well as several similar incidents in the past, may have been incited by anti-establishment groups."

Care UK's Residential Care Services division is committed to ensuring that it employs people with the right mix of talent, skills and potential to provide first class care to our residents.
Pay & bonus gap
Difference between men and women
The table above shows our overall mean and median gender pay gap based on hourly rates of pay as at the snapshot date (i.e. 5 April 2017). It also captures the mean and median difference between bonuses paid to men and women at Care UK Residential Care Services in the year up to 5 April 2017, i.e. for the 2016 performance year.
This shows that 1.9% more men were paid a bonus than women in 2016.
Pay quartiles
The above image illustrates the gender distribution at Care UK Residential Care Division across 4 equally sized quartiles, each containing just 2,300 colleagues.
What we are doing to address the Gender Pay Gap
- Our recruitment policy is and has always been to recruit the right person for the job regardless of gender, race and ethnicity. We will benchmark salaries and bonuses to ensure fair pay for the role they are recruited to do.
- We have a talent strategy which focuses on performance and potential regardless of gender, race and ethnicity.
- We support all colleagues by developing and promoting an inclusive culture through excellent recognition schemes and employee involvement programmes.
- We support requests for flexible working and have a good mix of full time and part time colleagues.
These statistics demonstrate that we employ more women than men across the division; this is consistent across the healthcare sector. The data presented confirms that we are paying people fairly based on their skills and qualifications. We are committed to supporting colleagues at all levels to learn new skills and to providing opportunities for career development. Our recruitment and retention strategy affirms our approach to fairness and equal opportunities for all.
I confirm the data reported is accurate.

When a person is safeguarded by his knowledge in the situations where he thinks he will be cheated, immediately he will thank the people who helped him in getting his education complete. The blessings of that person intern will be in our account with god, which will protect us in situations by our karmas which we had done earlier knowingly or unknowingly.
Sree Sai Maha Vidyadhana foundation has under taken to help those students who are willing to study but their family financial situations does not allow them to study. You can participate in this Sai Fund Raising Campaign by contributing your Valuable Time; Money etc…, as Baba used to say Vidya Dhana & Annadhana are the easiest way to achieve Mukti (Reach God). You must be aware how many children are able to go to school; we are trying our best to support as many students as we can. However, we need funds and volunteers for this Sai noble cause. We request you all to come forward and contribute freely for the cause. The funds will be used for paying the school fees for the whole year, getting uniforms, Books and other needy things to fulfill a child's education. The fees will be paid directly to the school account drawn on the school name through a cheque/DD issued by the foundation. After which it will be observed by the foundation that the child is being sent to school and verifying their performance in studies every quarterly.
We cannot make a big change in achieving this goal, but certainly we can make a start by making a small change to achieve the goal. Our pujya Guruji says "Drop by Drop of water forms an ocean", we can make a child whom we can see in our day to day life to get his right of education in this manly world, we are only a part of the Sai Parivar who is working on the path laid by Sai Baba.
It's because of your help that a poor child will get courage to lead a normal life in future. We are sure that you would help the foundation wholeheartedly.

After receiving an abundance of requests for a magickal product geared specifically for Empath's, I created an All Natural magickal anointing balm, that can be worn as a solid perfume, holding the intense energy clearing and shielding powers of White Sage & Clove, to offer beautiful protection on your aura and personal energy if you are sensitive to people, places or objects that you cannot seem to avoid. I also leave a piece of reiki blessed Black Tourmaline chip stone in each 1/2 oz. container, to keep the protective qualities strong, no matter where this balm goes. After a meditation on how to create this product, I was told by my guides to use White Sage & Clove, which at first I thought would be a very odd mix, but in fact, I could not tell you how pleased I am with it. The scent is a crisp, sharp and spicy, like the smell of an autumn breeze before a storm. This is the perfect solution for those fellow Empath's to help keep your own emotions calm and centered.
I often find myself in need of some grounding since I am so lucky to constantly be around so many crystals and magick. Because I am constantly flipping through frequencies or channels in the spirit realm through my meditations, afterwards I have to sometimes remind myself to "come back to earth" so that I can focus on the task at hand, while be centered and grounded. Sure holding Hematite or Boji stones after deep meditation can do the trick, but i wanted to create something you could wear to get you through the day. So for those of you like me, this is a special anointing balm for you. After creating this blend from a noted meditation, I was so happy when i finally smelled it. It was crisp and fresh like a green forest after a summer rainfall, with hints of sweetness overlapping deeper earthy notes. I instantly felt connected to earth. I happily charge each 1/2oz. anointing balm with Green Aventurine stone, which after blessing, i place in the container. A stone symbolic of earth & mother nature, this stones promotes intense grounding so that you may really feel all the elements, pulling you back into your physical body. This way you can enjoy all your senses during your stay here on earth in this lifetime. Enjoy every moment in the present, because you will never have another so exact.
Imagine for a second you find a place among the clouds, where your divine self can see your angels and openly connect with them, feeling their loving high vibrational energy, and all the while boosting your spiritual gifts here on earth and creating a place of inner peace within yourself of pure joy, trust & happiness. This is the feeling you will receive while wearing this magickal anointing balm that I created just for this purpose. In an all natural blend, the uplifting scent of a heavenly garden, blessed with the calming and pure energies of a piece of Angelite chip stone left in each 1/2 oz. container, can help to lift you up when you are down, or even higher when you are already able to reach this place of divinity. By using this enchanted blend of lemon, which is associated for its energy clearing and high vibrational properties & an ancient Indian attar oil known as Firdous for "Highest Paradise," this balm can aid in soul searching through connecting to your higher self, as to better understand your divine purpose here on earth. Always keep moving forth in great strides and never be held back by anything that does not better serve you & your divine light.

- The North Carolina Democratic Party had their final gathering before the November 2016 general election.
- Parliamentary procedure stopped Democrats in their tracks when a quorum call proved that not enough Democrats were convened to have the meeting.
Democrats, including guests and committee members, had planned for a full-day of events when they arrived at Rolesville high school on Saturday. The NCDP had laid out an agenda of candidate speakers, resolutions and amendments to keep the crowd busy, but after two hours into the event a quorum call ended the meeting.
But that's not the end of the story. Gracie Galloway, the chair of the Asian American Pacific Islanders caucus, said this:
So there seems to be some underlying tension between Democrats not only over the amendments that were up for consideration on Saturday, but also of things that have happened in the past at SEC meetings. Randy Voller added this for consideration:
And, Cliff Moone, the Chair of the NCDP Rules Committee, weighed in:

Children of the 21st century are different. They are born in the era of technology, surrounded by gadgets, smart phones and gaming consoles. They have been provided with entertainment within the boundaries of their household.
Back in times kids used to have a life of their own
which was not dependent upon any phones or consoles.
Children used to play outside all day, riding bicycles,
playing and inventing new games etc.
Children now rely on technology for the majority of their play, limiting challenges to their creativity and imaginations as well as limiting necessary challenges to their bodies to achieve optimal sensory and motor development.
For encountering this problem parents have to play a very dominant (but strategic) role in order to create a balance between gadget usage and physical activity. For kids, exercise sounds really boring therefore incorporation of the following activities in the lives of the children would help greatly in the healthy development of mind and body.
Encouraging activities like skipping, walking, running
helps in strengthening of the bones, enhances
growth and builds stamina. Muscle development
also helps in building a healthy body with games
such as tug of war, monkey bars, climbing
trees etc.
Taking exercise in its literal meaning will put off your child's mind away from it, that's why exercises should be designed in the form of fun activities which helps them in enjoying outdoor activities. The physical activity is not just confined to healthy growth but it's a savior to obesity, autism, and coordination disorders.
Parents are the role model for the kids. Therefore adopting and
encouraging small habits like taking stairs rather than elevator,
going on a walk, dancing or socializing etc. can help a lot in initiating
and adopting outdoor activities.
Health should always be your first priority!
"Healthy kids are happy kids!"

Internship Experience @ Chambers of Senior Advocate Pravin H Parekh, New Delhi: Too Many Interns, Less Work
– Anonymous
Name of Organisation, Location, Team Strength
Chambers of Sr. Advocate Mr. Pravin H. Parekh, New Delhi, around 10 people with 5 junior associates and clerical staff.
Application Process
Send CV to firstname.lastname@example.com
Replies within 1 week.
Duration of Internship and Timings
1st July, 2014 – 1st August (1 month)
Timings: 9:30 am – 8 pm.
At times you were left early upon sir's discretion, 7 days working.
First Impression, First Day Formalities, Infrastructure
No formalities.
You just have to go and introduce yourself to Mr. Parekh and then you will be allotted work.
The first impression was good. The office was quite big for a residence office.
There is one conference room allotted for interns and another office space with computers that has been set up.
It is located on the second floor of his house in Neeti Bagh.
Main Tasks
The main tasks involved reading case briefs on diverse topics of law.
Then we had to prepare case note, list of dates and submissions.
Additionally research had to be done on case laws in support of the arguments Mr. Parekh were to make.
We also prepared CVs of Supreme Court Judges and speeches in their honour from Mr. Parekh's side as he is the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association.
Everyday Parekh Sir would give all the interns something to research on and we had to subsequently prepare reports on that and submit it to sir.
Work Environment and People
The work environment was quite relaxed.
For the interns, there was no deadline given to finish the work.
It depended upon you when you completed it and submitted it. Mr Parekh himself was very nice to talk to.
He was always obliging and treated all the interns very nicely. Offered good insight into the world of litigation.
The junior associates were okay. While some of them were friendly and sweet, the others were too moody and downright rude.
There was hardly any interaction with juniors as Parekh sir took it upon himself to interact with the interns.
Best Things
Interacting with PHP everyday.
Going for high profile dinners sir hosted in honour of various judges of the Supreme Court.
All interns were invited for them.
Bad Things
There were around 30 interns stashed in the office and more kept coming everyday so much so that they ultimately ran out of a place for them to sit.
According to my experience as an intern, the quality of work was such that there was little or no application of mind.
They didn't have enough work for 30 people and there were days when you were just sitting in the office from morning till evening with little work.
There was virtually no feedback too.
No stipend.

Thank you for subscribing.
Something went wrong.

Well, here I am all sucked back into another installment of the Bachelorette because, I mean, how can I not? It's in my genetic makeup to watch crappy reality tv. I mean, dude, I was one of the three people on that planet who watched Temptation Island. Yes I did. No, I am not proud, but I mean, the heart wants what the heart wants. And my heart wants to sit and be perplexed by men who wear masks and men who get drunk and pass out and snore for a good 5-minute segment and women who always choose the wrong men and oh That JP. God, I hope that JP sticks around for the long haul. Also, is it just me or are there exactly three men who look exactly the same. No, it's not just me…I just looked it up and yes, they all bear a striking resemblance to weird Jason Schwartzman/Josh Groban/Dax Shepard hybrid. And not really in a good way either…even though I like all three of those guys. Maybe I will be able to tell the three of them apart next week.
In other news, I expressed a pet peeve of mine today on facebook and twitter. I am completely and totally against the double space after a period. I am an editor by trade, and a corrector of grammar by nature. I spend a lot of time with the "find and replace" keys getting rid of that damn extra space. I get that people were taught to use a double space…on typewriters. TYPEWRITERS, people. Back when on typewriters a mere single space was not enough space and so the double space was born. But now! Huzzah! We are in modern times (of computers!) where typewriters are obsolete and so is the double space. I get that there's debate over it…but I am an editor, and according to most style guides, it's a single space. So, I tweeted and facebooked this today. And I swear to you, I haven't gotten this much response to anything on social media ever in the history of ever. People are passionate about spacing issues. Maybe tomorrow I'll take about how I feel about the Oxford Comma. I mean, I wonder if the haters have been attacking Vampire Weekend for this.
Perhaps this is a good time to get it all out in the open and tell you about some other pet peeves of mine…
I really can't stand people who loiter around in shopping malls or, say, in the subway station. I might be wee, but I walk with a purpose, and I spend many an afternoon feeling like I am in a game of frogger trying to maneuver my way out of Finch station. There are people everywhere, moving like molasses. Hallways should be built like highways…slow traffic should stay to the right and the people who want to move should be able to move quickly on the left.
I really don't like cryptic or passive aggressive tweets. "I really cannot believe you have done to this me. Again." Really? Is that really necessary to share in a public forum? Instead, why not either not tweet that at all OR, here's an idea, give us a little more detail. "I really can't believe that my mother in law has called me fat. Again." See? Much more satisfying.
I really can't handle people who keep me waiting. I am an early-to-ontime person, but I get that not everyone is like this. I get that some people are just late people. I GET IT. But if you are going to be late…call me, text me, email me, gchat me. I am easy to reach. There's no reason that you need to keep me waiting. The two worst offenses? Movies and restaurants. If we are meeting for coffee at 10am, do not show up at 10:15 or 10:30 or 10:45 without giving me a little heads up. Don't have me buy you a movie ticket and then show up during the previews. I show up early or on time so I can see the previews. They are my most favorite part; I really don't feel like spending them waiting outside so I can give you your ticket.
I don't like close-talkers.
I can't handle when someone's pants are too short.
I don't understand people who use white fonts on black backgrounds. Do they not understand that this makes me click the X button on the corner of the page quicker than I can polish off a bag of Swedish fish? *MY EYES*
I hate when people don't use their turn signals; or when they don't turn off their turn signals.
I can't handle when this is not done correctly:
I have a really hard time understanding why people hork and spit on the sidewalk. Is excess saliva really that big of a problem for people? Really? You can, you know, just swallow like normal people?
I hate word verifications. The reason for this is that mostly I get them wrong and have to do them at three four times before I get it right.
What about you? Pet Peeves?

My life is forever changed due to my involvement in the training, having removed major roadblocks keeping me from expressing my authentic self from my heart. My transformation touched many areas of my life such as career, health/fitness, spirituality/inner growth, family, finance, and relationships. I have realized my purpose is to serve mankind, and now know what my true passion is in this life.
This transformational process has been the most incredible, life-altering gift I have given myself. I entered the course as a skeptic, already a mom, wife and business owner. But truthfully I was on auto-pilot, just surviving and not consciously living. This experience and the tools gained restored my life. I re-learned how to love and trust in myself and others, rediscovering my own humility, vulnerability and integrity as a woman and leader.
I have no doubt this training has helped me to become a better leader and person. Emotional intelligence and self-awareness are key tenets to being an effective leader. If you are looking for a life-changing experience, you've come to the right place.
This wasn't the first time I was exposed to many of the concepts. However, I still transformed because this rigorous program works so well that you no longer react or rely on the excuses that you once did. I left the emotional baggage of my past behind and started living as a lighter version of myself. I feel lucky because I know what it's like to be blocked by fears, and thanks to this journey, what it's like to be free and courageous. I'm a more grounded, brave, and vibrant person because of the work I did.
