Topic: Fear and Doubt Can Only Live in the House You Build - Rebroadcast
April 26, 2015
Today's show is a compilation of an excerpt "You Are Already Okay" from Hans' CD "Stop Searching and Start Living," plus a classic radio show replay of "Fear and Doubt Can Only Live in the House You Build."
Part 1 of 2 – excerpt "You Are Already Okay" from Hans' CD "Stop Searching and Start Living"
When you are having an experience where you are needing someone to validate you, or a situation, or a circumstance to validate you, to make you feel okay... Remember something: You already are okay. This experience has nothing to do with you. "What someone thinks of you is none of your concern. What you think of what they think of you is, in fact, very much your concern". So the process is about, once again, turning to that fear, that need, that sense of vulnerability, and saying to that inner child: No, you're perfect. We really don't need anyone's permission to be who we are. We would like it. It would be nice. But we do not need.
So we go from "needing" to "not needing. So the experience or the lesson is about letting go of our perception of what we need to be safe. Once again, every time that fear, that need, arises within each and every one of us, we need to turn to our inner child, our inner thought processes and say: No, once again we don't need this. This is what we would like. But we don't need it. And simply give ourself the gift... give ourself the gift of ourself and make ourself enough. That we are enough for our life. We are enough for our dreams.
There is, my friends, a huge investment that we have in getting an "okay-ness" from someone else. We are are taught as children that we're good if this happens, then we're bad if that happens, and here's what you have to be to be loved in this world, this is what you have to do to get along in this world... And for many, many people, they just don't fit. And part of this program is to help people to understand that "not fitting is arriving." I so not fit in the world that we make jokes out of it. I mean I'm to the point now where people say: Well what do you do for a living? I said: I talk to the dead. Now that gets people's attention.
But I so don't fit that it's wonderful. I have a sign on my refrigerator that says: I'm so far from perfect I'm pleased. And I have another one that says: The longer I live the more I'm certain of how little I know and it's just fine. Learning to "be" and to not listen to the mind chatter will change your experience in this existence from the dark to the light.
Part 2 of 2 – GUIDANCE FOR YOUR LIFE - Wisdom For Your Soul
"Fear and Doubt Can Only Live in the House You Build" - Rebroadcast from August 30, 2014
Hello everybody. Welcome to the show. Today's topic is "Fear and Doubt Can Only Live in the House You Build." We are very happy to be with you today. It's a beautiful day. And you know, at a certain time of your life every day is a beautiful day. And I wish that I could help people to understand that every day is a beautiful day. We're blessed to be on the planet, we're blessed to be doing what we're supposed to be doing, and I'd like everybody to hold a thought for our dear friend Joan Rivers as she hopefully tries to regain consciousness after her medical emergency. She's brought a lot of laughs to a lot of people. Made a lot of people really angry. But I think she's pretty remarkable for 81 years old. So I am praying. I hope you all do too.
A couple of days ago I tweeted, yes, Hans King is tweeting if anyone can believe that. I tweeted something that Spirit said to me. Guidance said: "I'd like them to understand that fear and doubt can only live in the house they build." I want everyone to stop for a moment and think about that. What does that mean? It means that fear and doubt are an illusion manufactured in the mind. It is not really true. Yes, there are horrific events that happen in some people's lives, wars, accidents, things of that nature... But for most people that does not happen. And some day we will talk a little bit about what happens when those events occur.
But for most of us the greatest, probably most difficult thing we face in life is the illusion generated by the mind chatter. I once said to someone: Do you realize that nothing you are saying is actually going on? And she stopped me and she was quite angry and she said: Well of course it's going on. It's this and this and that and that... She went down this list and she said: I've been afraid since I was a little girl and all of these things that could have happened to me... And I stopped her. And I said: Could have happened to you, but they didn't. No, but she said: I was afraid and I was eager to get out of the circumstances. And I tried to help her to understand that she built a house to receive fear and doubt.
They're old friends you know. They go out together, have lunch, what have you...talk about how they can best mess up what you're doing in life. But if you would understand that deep inside of you are a series of rooms and doors, love is one of those doors for those rooms. Fear is one of those rooms. And when you begin to understand: Oh, wait a minute! Are you saying to me that I'm attracting the fear and the doubt to myself because I actually have built the room to receive it? And I would say: Yes. And then you begin the long journey of trying to prove to me that isn't so.
Remember all that is coming towards you is coming out of your own fear, your own mind chatter. Alfred would you jump in here for a little bit and tell me of your experience. The reason I bring Alfred in is he has a much younger experience and it is different than my experience.
Fear and doubt really, from a spiritual perspective, don't exist. And what does that mean from my point of view is the worst absolute thing that can happen, that you could be fearful of, that you would be doubtful of is you leave the human body and go back to the Other Side which is reality. You're only here temporarily for the existence of the soul having a human experience.
And the illusion of being in the existence.
Yes. And the illusion and the difficulty of overcoming the illusion. So if you think about what's the worst thing you fear... what is it? Going back to the Other Side, going Home, going to a wonderful world of peace and harmony?
Well gee Alfred, aren't we all going to do that anyway?
We are. And if you put it in that perspective, what could you really fear? Oh, I may not succeed this lifetime. Okay. Well, you go back to the Other Side and say: Oh, let me give that another shot. And you come back down. There is no time. You can come back down and reincarnate as many times as you want. Just because you didn't do as well as you think you could, fine. You go back up to the Other Side and review it and you have another go at it. I think that's probably the other thing that's most worried about is: Am I going to do well this life? Well you don't have to worry about that either.
No, you don't Alfred. You couldn't be more correct. Because you see folks, this is but a "click" in time. If you've ever listened to a Grandfather Clock, "click"... "click"... "click". That's your life. The largeness of your life is that you have billions of "clicks". Now I'm not saying to you that you should hurry up and run Home. No, no, no. On the contrary, what you want to do is hurry up and learn your lessons. You've heard me often speak about: And what makes you think that anything is wrong?
Things are thrown at us and... For instance, I made the mistake yesterday and I don't know what I was thinking... of turning on the News. And the 2 channels that are side-by-side are FOX and MSNBC. And I watched one for 5 minutes and watched the other for 5 minutes then turned them off. Because all they are is someone's "opinion" of what's going on. People who have absolutely no comprehension, no inside information, nothing. They're just making it up. You see?
And that's what we do in our life, Alfred, is that the way we are trained, the way life is presented to us as a child through our family, our fears are the fears of our fathers. Our fears are the fears of our mothers, our grandmothers, our grandfathers, our siblings. Our fears were never with us when we came in. There are, children, exceptions to that rule. Always an exception to every rule. The exception being sometimes someone has suffered what you have hear me refer to as "a trauma to the soul." And when that happens, when that occurs, sometimes there's what I call a "carry-forward-memory." That's when I find the value of past life regression.
Now I know Alfred you've gone for past life regression and you found some things and I believe you found it quite helpful. Is that right?
That really was amazing because I remember a long time ago when I was in the Boy Scouts I actually had my Life Saving Merit Badge. I was a Lifeguard. But for some reason, during Lifeguard training, they wanted us to dive beneath the pier. And about 15 Lifeguards dived beneath the pier to check if everything was okay and popped up the other side and I sort of looked at that and I said: I'm not doing that. And I was the only one. And it just... pure white fear came over my body and I absolutely could not understand why I did not like swimming underneath things. I could swim anywhere. I could swim a mile no problem at all. But not underneath things.
And then finally I had a past life regression and it was because I had drowned because something had been on top of me like a ship or something. And I specifically remember the exact same feeling when I went through my past life regression. Now, did it exist? Does it exist? It existed in the past and it's a carry-forward memory but it doesn't exist in the "now."
No, it doesn't. And folks, here's a little homework you can do over the next week. If something's bothering you, something you heard strikes a little bit of a fear cord in you, or some doubt arises on a subject, stop yourself for a minute and say: Is this true? Is any of this true? Is this an actual fact or is my mind making it up because I have a place inside of me to believe something bad could happen. But is what is going on right now actually true or is it my mind chatter's interpretation? And if you start to do that, Alfred, with everything that comes up that's fearful or scary, you will literally change your life forever.
And that's an interesting way to look at it is is look at fear and doubt from a spiritual perspective. Fear and doubt are "human." I'm not going to have enough money, I'm not going to find a partner, this is not going to happen or that is going to happen. All of that is about control, security. Those things are the complete opposite of spirituality which is abundance is unlimited, love is unlimited, your soul is unlimited. The humanness of us worries about: Do I have enough time? Am I going to run out of time? Spiritually speaking Einstein knew this - there is no time.
No. You can't run out of it then.
So if you get into a place of fear and doubt about anything, look at it and say: Am I being human? Am I looking at this from a human perspective? If I look at it from a spiritual perspective can those things I'm worrying about even exist?
Excellent. Thank you very much. And that's the interesting thing is is what we're thinking about true? Does it actually exist? Or have I been so programmed that I've built a room in the house of my soul that provides me a space to put that fear, to put that doubt, to put that anger? You've heard me throughout the years... I love this old British saying that says: You see what you look for you know. But does anybody actually hear that? It's an old metaphysical saying that comes out of pure truth - You see what you look for you know. That's the room in the heart that you provide for the fear and the doubt to scare you.
I once told you that 96 to 98% of everything we ever worry about - this is a scientific study – 96 to 98% of everything we ever worry about actually never occurs. But we spend upwards of 37% of our waking day being concerned about it. Now folks just think what you could do with that 37%.
Be peaceful. Be happy. Be joyful. Be grateful. Be in the moment.
Be peaceful. Go to the park with a loaf of cheap bread and feed the ducks. They don't care whether it's cheap or not. They love the carbohydrates. Just do something. Do something differently. Don't operate any longer out of fear and doubt because you are all baby angels having this incredible human experience.
And stay off the News. We've got so many wonderful channels out there now from the Discovery Channel to HGTV. All kinds of wonderful channels doing all kinds of wonderful things. We have that now. If you want to watch TV, watch those things. I drive my folks a little crazy because I'm really fond of HGTV. And I watch how things are built, I watch how things are cooked. I like the Food Channel. That type of thing. And that's really, to me, quite enjoyable. Alfred he likes his Jeep Building and Car Building Shows. So find something that's fun, that's light. But watch even when you're doing that often the mind chatter begins. Okay?
Alfred talk about that a minute. That in the middle of doing something quite wonderful the little devil tends to creep in.
Well if you're in the moment usually it doesn't. But sometimes if you're out, say going for a walk, there'll be something... oh your mind chatter, your ego, your program that says: Shouldn't you be thinking about this? Shouldn't you be worrying about that? And it will take you out of the moment and bring you to what possibly could happen in the future or what you should be considering doing or what you could be doing other than being in the moment.
Um hmm.
Okay? And that I think is your best spiritual defense is to say... The thing that I do is if something like that happens, I say: Okay, if this is a valid thought, I kindly request the Other Side to remind me of it when I'm done being in the moment.
If it's not a valid thought then They're not going to remind me.
(Still Laughing) That's right. Get the heck away from me... Folks find always the humor in how you succumb to the mind chatter. Make it funny. Make it a joke. You know every once in awhile I'll say: Oh, there you go again silly thing! There you go again. So even in my life and all the teachers I know, to the person, I can tell you people who periodically the mind chatter gets the better of them and they forget to lock the room, the door where they are saying it's okay to come in.
You've got to lock that up. Draw a picture. Get some paper, draw a picture of a room with a big lock on it. Picture yourself drawing some keys and mark that room "Fear and Doubt." This is your home for Fear and Doubt. But as of today, this very moment, you're going to lock that door. And you're going to take that key and you're going to throw it into the woods, you're going to throw it into the ocean. And when you're doing that you are saying: I give you no more power to exist in me today and for the rest of this incarnation. I am free of this fear. I am free of the doubt. It has no home here. I am free.
Now you may have to do that, gentle friends, over and over and over again. But in the end you will win. Always. Because it was never attached to you in the first place. You already had all the love, all the acceptance, all the non-judgment, all the joy is your birthright in the human form as your soul entered that form. You were complete at that moment. All the rest is an add-on. It's an addendum. It has nothing to do with who you are. Now you didn't know you were building the room to hold the fear and the doubt. Because we were born into a world that segregates out humanness and replaces it with fear and doubt.
I remember watching a movie... it was something out of India or Indian... I forget who it was. But I remember the Professor Godbole when James Fox is running around and saying: I can't find my tie pin and all... And he says: I have to get to the court because she's up in the court for the trial and all that. And Professor Godbole said: What are you going on about? He said: I have to be there. I have to help. And Godbole stopped him and he said: Young man what makes you think that you have anything whatsoever to do with the outcome of this trial? It has it's own life and it will proceed down that road.
That's a really good point is one of the most important aspects we're taught, as human, is that "you" are the person who is in control of your life, "you" are the person who can get what you need to serve out of this life. That is a very human thought. That is a very separating thought. In that line of thought you are separating yourself from the humanness. You have yourself. And God's going to say: Okay great. If you think you've got it figured out, go for it. We're just going to hang back here and relax.
And as many of you know, spiritually speaking, the complete opposite is to surrender the outcome. So what we're doing is we're pointing out that the reason fear and doubt exist in your life is because there is an aspect of your life that is human and simply consider applying a spiritual principle in that area such as control and surrendering.
Lock the door. Because the greatness of your spirituality far exceeds any power that any mind chatter, fear or doubt, could ever have over you. When we say to you: Not my problem - we don't mean to insult you. What we're saying is your problem that you're going through is made up by you. It is not my problem. I don't wish to be upset by what you're doing. Why are you doing that?
I had the pleasure to speak to a woman yesterday. She was so caught up in fear and doubt that it had literally destroyed all the possibilities in her life. She never took a partner because her mother once said to her: Yes, but they can leave you. Because her father did. She never got a good job because her mother said: It's a shame you're going to have to find a man someday to take care of you because you're just not bright enough. She bought that. 57 years of it. None of it was true. None of it will ever be true.
But she provided a space. In other words she built a house for that sadness, that pain, that doubt to live in. And she made certain that she fed that by proving that nothing had happened good for her and what she couldn't see was that she had never allowed anything "good" to happen for her. She became a victim of her own consciousness. And when I tried very hard with Spirit to remove it, she tried very hard to put it back in place.
For those of you who are healers and teachers, for those of you who work in the work that I work in, Alfred works in, sometimes folks, people have built such large homes to house their fear and doubt that you couldn't knock them down with a bulldozer. Alfred you know this to be so.
If you identify with it, if you think it is you, if you think you're past makes up who you are, there's really nothing we can do to help you.
That's it. If you understand that your past is simply that - the past. It is nothing more than a memory, if you understand that your past has made you stronger, built your character, be grateful for your past - but it is not where you are. Where you are is in the moment. Then you have a place to move out of that to say: No, this is where I am. That does not exist. It is not who I am. I am where I am in the moment. Those things are now are not me. I have choice. And that's what we're trying to teach you.
Okay, that's very good. Just hold it there for a second. Choice. Alfred, do you know that most people don't believe they have a choice out of fear and doubt?
Because we're not told we have choice...
We're told you have to drink Coke and... And I just saw on a commercial today the newest thing - exercise your face to look younger.
(Hans laughing)
You have to look younger so you have to exercise your face.
Yes, that's it.
You have to look slimmer, you have to earn more money, your car has to be newer. Are you tired of driving that boring old car?
Oh my goodness...
Wouldn't you want a nice new car to show everybody how successful you are?
Isn't that funny how we're taught from Day 1, and as most of you know, I have a soapbox for this... We're taught from Day 1 - we're not quite good enough. Here's what we have to do. We have to eat Wheaties so we look like an athlete. We have to have our hair colored so we can look like the gal on the box of Clairol. We have to look and dress a certain way. Our bodies have to be a certain way. Folks, 99% of all people age and there really and truly isn't much you can do about it but watch your eating, exercise and be sure that you have a good mental attitude.
Our friend Joan Rivers, whether you like her or you don't like her, has actually gotten better with age. She truly has. She's at the absolute height of her career. And for those of you who've ever watched, I think it was in 2011 or 2012, her movie... It's amazing because she is, without a doubt, what many of you are - Survivors. She doesn't have a place in her heart to say she can fail.
I want every one of you to not have a place within you that says: I'm not good enough. You know one of the biggest products that we have out that reaches more people than anything we do is: "You Are Enough." Why? Because most people don't know that's true. There is nothing you're ever going to do for the rest of your life that will ever make you better than who you already are.
Oh, you can dress differently. You can live in a big house. You can have lots of money. But it all goes away one day folks. It all goes away. And what you are left with is the essence of you. Just the divine baby angel who came to visit in the human form. You are eternal. You are love itself. You are the radiant aspect of the Spirit in human form. Therefore what you want to always understand is that Spirit is your Source. Spirit is walking with you. Spirit is holding you. Spirit is saying gently to you: Mmmmm... You deserve better than that. You see? You deserve better than that. Don't build a room or a house for fear and doubt. Build a house of love, acceptance. I am enough. Not only for today but forever.
I had an interesting experience, Alfred, today. I had a wonderful client who had called and in speaking with her, she was still caught up in her childhood and her teens and early 20's with her family. She was so caught up with this that she actually believed that she was still in that. Although the parents, the grandparents, were all dead. They were all gone. They were all back in the Other Side.
But she was still living in the pain, in the doubt, in the fear, the anger, the resentment. She was still in that place screaming out: Why? Why? Why did that happen? Look what happened to my life. Rather than say: Whew! I'm glad I'm out of that! I'm not going to let that come into my life anymore. That was then. I'm not that person. I'm a different person. I'm this person here. A person in love, in light, of myself.
Now folks, many of you actually believe the pain in your life. You believe it. But if you stop for just a moment and you say: You know, let me think about this for a minute. Why am I still in pain over something that happened 25 or 30 years ago? You see, you're in it because you built the house for it to stay. You built the house for it to live and you feed it continuously. And until you stop feeding the pain, the disappointment, the fear, it will continue to live in the house that you have built that you don't know you built.
So folks, right now what I want you to hear... what I want you to hear is that "love abounds". You may everything in the world that you need. But if you don't have peace... and you don't have love... you don't have anything. And you're in charge of that. Because if there's not someone in your life right, you be the one who you need to hug... for now. Okay?
Alfred, I think that will conclude the lesson for today.

Parents Take the Wheel
More and more bus drivers are bringing their kids to work—and to school.
By John Rosales
Faith Petrey has grown up riding school buses. When she started as a five-month-old, she needed a car seat. As a toddler, she played with stuffed animals and enjoyed snacks during her 30-mile runs.
Now in first grade, Faith, like many students, is content to catch up on homework on the bus before arriving home. After seven years, she's never missed a ride and has always had the same driver—her mother, Valerie Petrey.
When Faith was born, Petrey decided to leave her corporate job in human resources and apply for a bus driver position with Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia.
"The county needed drivers, and I wanted to spend more time with my kids," says Petrey. So she got certified as a bus driver and was soon chauffeuring Faith and her three siblings to three different schools. Today, Faith is joined on the bus by Steven, 11, Rex, 12, and Veronica, 14.
"I never wanted them to be latchkey kids," Petrey says. "This job allows me the opportunity to take them to school, pick them up, get them home, and get paid for it. There is so much flexibility."

Having enough bus drivers is a common concern for school systems across the country, especially when a robust economy offers potential drivers other full-time job alternatives.
"Historically, when the economy is good, you have bus driver shortages in most parts of the country," says J. Michael Lunsford, Loudoun's director of transportation. "We are all competing for the same workers."
So Loudoun, like many districts, has increasingly turned to parents to operate the buses. About 70 percent of the district's 613 drivers chauffeur at least one of their children. With no age limit for drivers' children, infants requiring car seats are strapped into benches located directly behind the driver's seat.
Allowing drivers to bring small children on board has helped alleviate Loudoun's bus driver shortage, though the county still has about 50 unfilled positions. "If tomorrow they said we had to eliminate drivers' children on board, we'd have to close the school system," Lunsford says.
Drivers in Loudoun are paid a minimum of $15.90 an hour. Veterans can earn up to $29.60 hourly for a 20-hour week, 10 months a year. Petrey works about 185 days a year with full benefits. Her two-hour morning shift starts at about 7 a.m. She's then on her own until about 2 p.m., when she drives for another two hours, shuttling more than 110 students from local elementary, middle, and high schools. The flexible hours and nature of the job have allowed Petrey to volunteer at her children's schools and interact more with teachers, administrators, and parents.
"I feel like I'm in the know," says Petrey, a member of the Loudoun Education Association. "Other parents ask me to keep an eye out for their children."
Once overwhelmingly rural, Loudoun is now one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation. Over the years, the stay-at-home parents, teachers, retirees, farmers, and immigrants who drive school buses have changed, too.
"Twenty years ago, driving a school bus was a secondary income," Lunsford says. "For more and more of our drivers today, it is their primary income."
Petrey says another advantage of her job is driving past scenic horse farms, wineries, and brick-lined streets in the quaint small towns that share space with Loudoun's rapidly growing subdivisions.
"I remember once being way up high in the bus looking out the window," she says. "You're in the fresh air. I don't know how I could ever go back to an office."

As many as 2.7 million premature births a year – 18% of the global total – can be linked to outdoor air pollution, a study in Environment International found.
When women give birth at less than 37 weeks, their offspring are more likely to die in infancy or suffer from learning difficulties, hearing and sight problems through their life.
"This study highlights that air pollution may not just harm people who are breathing the air directly – it may also seriously affect a baby in its mother's womb," said Chris Malley, lead a
Previous research, mainly in the US and Europe, has established the level of small particulates – PM2.5 – in the air as one of the factors that affects the preterm birth rate.
For this latest study, researchers took those findings and applied them to 2010 air quality and health data from 183 countries to estimate the global scale of the problem.
Pregnant women in China, India, the Middle East, and western Africa were most likely to go into labor early as a result of hazy conditions, they found.

Dan Marino Should Be Banned From The Super Bowl
How awkward! Dan Marino will face the nation, when he takes part in CBS' pre-game Super Bowl coverage on Feb. 3 as planned, days after his affair was exposed. Find out why I think CBS has to can Dan!
Dan Marino admitted to the world that he cheated on his wife of 28 years, Claire, with Donna Savattere, a former production assistant at CBS Sports. Dan and Donna had a secret love child, Chloe, 7, born in June 2005, and as a result, he's now embarrassed his entire family! Dan doesn't deserve to get national coverage on CBS on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3.
Not only did Dan pay his mistress millions to keep quiet, but he kept the secret from his wife and six children for seven years! What a disgrace!
The Super Bowl is such an American tradition, as pure as apple pie. Having Dan cover the biggest sports event of the year would feel so wrong. The Super Bowl is a family-friendly event. What kind of message is CBS sending by having an adulterer represent the voice of the pre-game coverage? The network banned Janet Jackson from appearing at the Grammy Awards in 2004 after she accidentally exposed her nipple (covered by a pasty) during CBS' coverage of the Super Bowl the same year, and chose not to apologize. What makes this so different? Is it preferential treatment?
"Dan has said all there is to say on this matter, and will be in his usual role on our broadcast Super Bowl Sunday," CBS said in a statement on Thursday Jan. 31.
Dan also has six children with his wife Claire: Daniel, 26, Michael, 24, Joseph, 23, Ali, 20, Lia, 17, and Niki, 16. These kids must be so ashamed of their father. They have a sibling they never knew about! That sort of news would rock anyone's core!
Because this news is so fresh and the Super Bowl is such a big event, I feel that CBS needs to can Dan!
Dan Marino Fesses Up To His Affair With Donna Savattere & The Baby They Conceived Together
Dan, 51, confirmed the affair on Jan. 30, saying in a statement: "This is a personal and private matter. I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then. We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved."
"My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together," he wrote on Jan. 30, his 28th wedding anniversary. "And we continue to be a strong and loving family," Dan continued in his statement.
Other notable sports stars who have had affairs in the past involve Tiger Woods and Tiki Barber.
What do YOU think, HollyMoms? Should Dan be canned from the Super Bowl?

When determining whether a mechanical device, such as a wheelchair, or specially equipped private transportation is compensable, and the responsibility of the Workers' Compensation Insurance Carrier, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will evaluate your case based on a three-prong approach.
PRONG #1: " " Whether the accepted work injury is in any way related to the need for the mechanical appliance sought. Do you need the wheelchair or specially equipped van as a result of injuries you sustained in a work-related accident?
PRONG #2: " " The Court will apply the 4th paragraph of 30 of the Massachusetts Workers' Compensation Act: In any case where an administrative judge, the reviewing board, the office of education and rehabilitation or the health care services board is of the opinion that the fitting of an employee eligible for compensation with an artificial eye or limb, or other mechanical appliance will promote his restoration to or continue him in industry, it may be ordered that such employee be provided with such item, at the expense of the insurer.
PRONG #3: " " What is economically necessary? Is the furnishing of van services, or a wheelchair, the most economical means available in your case?
The Massachusetts Reviewing Board has held, 'that because we find our statute like those of some sister states that will allow for transportation assistance up to and including a van, if continuing causation is established and under the fourth paragraph of 30, the judge finds that a specially equipped van will promote the Employee's restoration to or continue her in industry, he must order the Insurer to provide it or some reasonable equivalent, for so long as such appliance is made necessary by the continuing effects of the work injury.' Stevens v. Northeastern University, 11 Mass. Workers' Compo Rep. 167 (1997)
If this situation does, or could, apply to you, don't stop here. The attorneys at Keches Law Group, P.C., are experienced attorneys, here to ensure that you receive everything you deserve for your work-related injury.

*sips coffee* Good morning all. I know. It's not morning anymore, but seriously, I started this hours ago and its my first genuinely scheduled "task" of the day. It says right there on my calendar, #1. Write blog post. Just things kept getting in the way. Like for instance... I got the post all set up and blogger wouldn't let me type in the box. Weird, right? Had to refresh. Then all the stuff already in the box vanished, and boom. That required more coffee.
This past week I saw an Amazon Prime tv uh... I forgot the word for it. Not premiere, or preview, though both of those words sort of fit. Anyway, Amazon does this thing where you vote on new shows. They actually have some good shows that have begun this way- Transparent for one.
Anyway, this show was called The Interestings. The episode was intriguing, and frustrating. So I bought the book it was based on. The book was intriguing and frustrating. It was not chronological, and it skipped POV's and well, the characters were anything BUT interesting and nothing really happened in the book. Nevertheless, it was hard to put down. I"m not sure I can actually recommend it or not though.
Meanwhile, the weather has calmed. It's due to remain in the 80's for a bit now, and that's good for my garden and for me. Rain has actually been scarce. Perhaps this is why.
Flamingos. Instead of rain this year we're getting birds lol
Okay- that's me done for the day. I need to get back to work on my stories. :)
Y'all have a good one.

How Caffeine Improves Your Performance
The golden age of bodybuilding didn't have all the fancy supplements we have now. The likes of Frank Zane and Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't use citrulline malate to get a massive pump, or go through loading phases of creatine to influence greater strength.
Instead, many of the pioneers of bodybuilding and strength looked to a simple source of stimulant based energy to power their workouts. This stimulant, of course, was caffeine.
Caffeine comes in many forms, either through coffee bean, tea leaves or even as a chemical extract - caffeine can be used to push your workout to the next level without the side effects of traditional stimulants.
Many studies have even shown caffeine to be a very effective substance to help prolong life and lead to healthier states of body composition.
Caffeine, in many respects is one of the easiest and most effective supplements you can take to increase your performance without becoming a chemist and trying several different kinds of amino acids and pre-workouts.
With that in mind, there are still many versions of caffeine, some of which are more effective than others. Some sources of caffeine have been specifically designed for exercise, while others are more natural in the sense that they are found only in the leaves of plants - either way, most, if not all sources of caffeine can be used to increase your performance in the gym.
Let's break down the in's and out's of this fascinating compound.
What is Caffeine?
For milenia caffeine has been used to help provide energy and vigor to warriors. The ancient warriors of the amazon used to eat coffee beans prior to a hunt, even the notorious Samurai used to drink green tea prior to a battle.
Caffeine has had a place in the human species since the beginning of time - but where did it come from?
Caffeine is actually a plant insecticide. Plants such as tea leaves or coffee beans will produce caffeine in an effort to ward off bugs from eating the leaves. If a bug does eat a caffeine rich tea leaf they will experience the same stimulatory effect we do, yet on a much larger scale due to their miniature size.
For this reason, caffeine rich plants have become very easy and efficient to grow and mass produce - the plant is very strong on its own.
This is the primary reason why when you drink coffee or tea your body develops a heightened feeling - almost a euphoric state that, for many people, wakes them up.
If you've ever entered a powerlifters gym you will notice two things right away. The smell of coffee and the sound of barbells smashing the ground. The question is, are these powerlifters really getting some form of performance enhancement, or are they simply having a placebo effect?
Caffeine and Performance
Many people believe that caffeine is one of the most effective forms of pre-workout stimulants to boost performance and increase strength - but are these claims justified?
A 2016 study found that caffeine ingestion improved performance on young female athletes in multiple ways. First, caffeine ingestion helped the athletes to perform at a higher level for longer during a fasted run. Following the exercise the athletes leg strength was then recorded and observed much stronger results than the placebo group. Even 12h after the test, athletes who ingested caffeine scored higher in strength tests than compared to the placebo group.
This study provides a clear conclusion that caffeine consumption can lead to greater strength and even faster recovery.
Numerous other studies have been completed that show performance increases in strength and endurance when caffeine is supplemented.
It should be noted that most of the research conducted on caffeine have been completed using caffeine anhydrous - a concentrated and dehydrated version of caffeine.
Benefits of Caffeine
- Increased strength (gross motor performance)
- Increased endurance (long distance running)
- Reduces appetite
- Can be effective in the reduction of headache
- Can protect against parkinson's disease
- Faster reaction time
- Faster recovery time
Are There Any Downsides?
Well, yes, there are some. Caffeine is, on the most simple level, a drug. Caffeine can promote a dependency and you will develop a tolerance as you supplement it. This, in combination with its diuretic properties (dehydrates the cells) can make it a difficult supplement to use effectively for the older population or when hydration is not watched.
Especially as a powerlifter or strength athlete you need to ensure your bones and muscles stay hydrated. Supplementing with caffeine on a daily basis can dehydrate the cells and potentially put you into an injury spectrum. Caffeine consumption over the years can also lead to a lack of calcium absorption in the bones which can lead to osteoporosis if not watched.
For this reason, many people prefer to drink coffee rather than take them chemical caffeine extracts.
The water content in the coffee can help to limit the diuretic properties which, in some cases can cancel out the dehydration of muscles.
A simple fix is to ensure that you are always drinking lots of water while supplementing with caffeine.
NOTE: caffeine may also cause adverse side effects or limit the effect of creatine supplementation. Although major research has not yet been fully conducted on this, many small-scale studies have shown that when caffeine is consumed the absorption of creatine goes down.
So, we know know that caffeine is highly effective when implemented properly and taken at the correct times, but which form of caffeine is best?
Forms of Caffeine
Coffee Bean
Perhaps the most common way that the world takes their caffeine. Coffee bean has been used for millennia and has some of the highest absorption rates among other forms of caffeine.
One cup of coffee contains approximately 75 mg of caffeine - which for many people should be enough to produce some form of stimulation.
Although Coffee bean is a very natural way to ingest caffeine, when it comes to our training, we cannot accurately dose the amount - which limits our ability to track results and see progress markers.
Caffeine Anhydrous
This is the most common version you will see in pre-workout amplifiers. Caffeine anhydrous simply means caffeine without water. The caffeine is extracted or produced chemically and does not contain any water. In other words, it is a highly concentrated form of caffeine.
Caffeine Citrate
A fairly new addition to the world of bodybuilding, caffeine citrate has long been used as a medicinal version of caffeine.
Caffeine citrate is produced by combining anhydrous caffeine with citric acid monohydrate and sodium citrate dihydrate. In more simple terms, this caffeine is used because it is not as readily bioavailable as traditional caffeine.
You can use this form of caffeine if you are looking for the stimulant feeling in a very small effect size, although it may not have the best benefits to performance.
Caffeine Citrate is perfect for endurance runners who don't want a massive crash, or those who want a relief from headaches.
Tea Extract
Interestingly enough, tea leaves and tea extracts fall perfectly in the middle of all these different forms. Depending on the type of tea you consume and how you steep it one cup will give you between 30-90 mg of caffeine that is readily absorbed and does not have huge dietetic properties due to the large amount of water.
Perhaps not the best form of caffeine for performance enhancement as a strength trainer, but many people will turn to tea-based caffeine sources on off day recovery as the caffeine produces a milder stimulant effect and still assists in recovery of soft tissue.
Which Works Best?
This comes down to your personal goals. If you are a runner and you are only concerned with increasing your speed and distance than tea or caffeine citrate may be the best options for you as they are much milder but will still provide you with the stimulation needed to perform better.
Those under the realm of strength and power should turn to coffee bean of caffeine anhydrous as they are much more potent and have decades of science to back up their effectiveness.
Caffeine: The Most Effective Supplement
Caffeine packs a pretty good punch considering the amount you need to take to yield an effect.
Caffeine can be used for those looking for weight loss, those looking to increase strength or anyone who is just looking to enjoy a nice cup of coffee on a summer's day.
With minimal side effects and generations of concrete science to back up its effectiveness you should include this supplement into your lifestyle and training program without fault.

'Bigg Boss 7': Armaan and Sangram have a heated argument on day 51. Here's why...
On day 51 in 'Bigg Boss: Saath 7', Armaan and Sangram get into a fight during a task. Here's why...
Sangram has come across as a clean-hearted and caring guy ever since he first entered the 'Bigg Boss' house. But the recent incidents have not been in his favour and has been caught in a storm of allegations. Sangram has been caught red-handed many a times for changing his statements in order to continue to be in the good books of everybody.
After 'Bigg Boss' introduced the Rajneeti task, Sangram and Kamya were asked to be leaders and form their own political parties. They were also asked to deliver an opening speech basis which the housemates were asked to decide whether they wanted to support Sangram or Kamya. However, during the task contestants had the liberty to change their party if they were not satisfied with their leader.
Armaan who was initially supporting Sangram's party decided to switch to the other party when he realized that he had been diplomatic while never taking a stand for anything. When Sangram tried to convince him to come back, Armaan told him that he is a big liar and a two-faced person who has never taken a stand for any of his friends.
During the course of their conversation, Armaan also brought up the topic of nominations where he claimed that Sangram had tried to plot with him to vote against a few contestants. But Sangram denied this allegation and instead put all the blame on Armaan leading to a heated argument.
Kamya and Gauahar tried to control the situation but the two hot-heads did not pay heed to them and continued fighting with each other. With the game of 'Bigg Boss' getting intense with every passing day, the contestants are now no longer willing to mince words and stay diplomatic. Where will this lead?

Vanity of vanities; all is vanity … I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity … (Ecclesiastes 1:2, 14).
Life is vain when viewed apart from the Sovereign, loving God who is our Father.
I feel for those who face daily life apart from the knowledge that He is in complete control.
My days, all of them were written in Your book; the days, they were formed when there was not one of them (Psalms 139:16).
The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD (Psalms 37:23).
Think of these wonderful truths. All your days written in God's book, formed there before any of them ever had been lived. Many live their daily lives without recognition of the stabilizing truth of the One Who "works all things after the counsel of His Own will" (Ephesians 1:11). They approach their day, and struggle through it, as the master of their own lives.
For those who live as though they were in charge of their lives, two of the hardest parts of the day are waking up in the morning and going to bed in the evening.
In the mornings, days are greeted with uncertainty as thoughts of the "What if …" trials and challenges of the day press in upon the mind and heart. There is a waking up to varying degrees of uneasiness, concern, apprehension, worry and anxiety; even at times to overwhelming fear, dread and depression. Feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty press in.
In the evenings, days are retired with the annoying "What if …" reflections of its happenings. There is second guessing, regret and disappointment. Feelings of frustration, disappointment and failure settle in; even at times shame, guilt and worthlessness.
After all, they see themselves as the lords of their own lives, the captains of their own ships and the masters of their own destiny. With this view comes but a recurring cycle of vanity.
Vanity of vanities; all is vanity … What profit has a man of all his labor which he takes under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth abides. The sun also arises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to his place where he arose … All things are full of labor; man cannot express it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing (Ecclesiastes 1:2-8).
Why is man's life filled with such vanity; such futility, emptiness, barrenness, purposelessness and aimless frustration? Because he has been subjected so by his Creator.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him Who has subjected the same in hope (Romans 8:20).
"Vanity" is the lot of man "under the sun." Yet for the believer who has been seated in the celestials, quite another view prevails! Instead of being bound to vanity, we can rise to heights of divine life.
Solomon's perspective "under the sun" showed the vanity of the human viewpoint. Paul's perspective, "far above all heavens" revealed true purpose found only in the divine viewpoint: "your labor is not in vain in the Lord" (I Corinthians 15:58).
Those of us who know Father as the great Planner and Director of our days have a completely different approach to our mornings and evenings – and the entire unfolding of our every minute of our day.
In the mornings, days can be greeted with the joy and excitement of knowing that they are His, as well as ourselves. The uncertainties of the "What if …" viewpoint are divinely transformed into the eager anticipation of seeing what God has planned for the day. We are able to awaken to the thrill of knowing that we will be witnesses of the unfolding of His detailed plan and purpose for our day. His presence presses in upon our minds. There is a waking up to peace and joy as we know that our life, with all of its daily circumstances, is firmly in His hand, and carried out by His capable direction. Our hearts are able to say, "Today we are on the great adventure of faith!"
In the evenings, when the day is over, we can rest our heads on our pillows and with surety and confidence regarding our day say, "This was the will of God." The "What if …" reflections of its happenings are transformed into a place of peace and rest – knowing that the will of God was done, and who could have prevented it? The realization of our divine appointment is able to settle within our hearts and minds. After all, He is the Lords of our life, the Captain of our ship, the Master our destiny.
He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand (Daniel 4:35).
We have the joy of waking up each morning as His clay.
We have the anticipation of living each day as His workmanship.
We have the rest of laying our heads on our pillow each night as His achievement.

Thinking of selling a small business Melbourne based?
Before you have your company appraised or choose a Business sale Broker to use, it is important that you know for certain that this is what you want to do.
The work involved can be a long process and changing your mind in the middle of it or at some point can result in major problems. It is important that you get it right.
Is selling a small business Melbourne has the right decision for you?
It is possible that a better solution would be to close instead of sell. So make sure to analyse the reasons you are selling your business.
If it is due to financial problems or compliance concerns, there are professionals and agencies who can help you get back on track. Make sure you consider all your options before you make a final decision.
You should also take into account how selling will affect your financial and personal circumstances. So talk to a business advisor, solicitor, or accountant to help you decide.
Your friends and family could also provide a different perspective and a more personal advice so speak to them as well.
How to profitable is your business?
Failure to generate profit is one of the reasons that business owners sell. A common belief is that a business that is no longer profitable will not be profitable in the future. This will make calling one of the business brokers Victoria firms have a logical move.
Before you do, however, use the business viability assessment tool of the Australian Tax Office website to determine if your company still has a chance of surviving financially. Check it out at Connect Business Agents
Is compliance of government requirements the main problem?
Did you know that you can use the Australian Business Licence and Information Service to find out which requirements from the Australian, state, territory, and local government your business must comply with?
Think of them as the business sales agents Melbourne companies have that can assist you with the paperwork and make them less overwhelming to complete and comply with.
Using the online tool, you will know if you need to apply for licenses and registrations, codes of practice, permits and approvals, and standards and guidelines.
Are you tired of running your business?
It is tiring and stressful to operate a business, especially when you're facing problems from all directions. But it is possible that you only need to take a break to change your decision to sell.
So make sure to take a break before you bring down the guillotine.
How marketable is your business?
Deciding to sell should coincide with the right time to do so. Otherwise, it will sit on the market for a long time.
So study the market trends and see if your business is still valuable in the current market, or likely to become more valuable in the future. If it does, the possibility of you selling it for a price you want is high.
If not, delay the sale and wait for a better time.
In the event that your only option is selling a small business Melbourne wide, use a business broker. Spare yourself from the stress and hassle and call Connect Business Agents today.

Slowdown In Federal Funding May Leave N.H. With Steep Bill For Roads By Ryan Lessard • Feb 23, 2015 Flikr Creative Commons / Mortmer According to a report by the Associate Press, Federal transportation dollars for New Hampshire road maintenance fell by more than %5 between 2008 and 2013.

text: Gambia's government has been accused of widespread human rights abuses [AFP] Gambia's president has declared the West African country an Islamic republic saying the decision was made because Islam is the religion of most citizens and the nation must break away from its colonial past. President Yahya Jammeh made the declaration at the end of a political rally held on Friday at the coastal village of Brufut, about 15km west of the capital Banjul. "In line with the country's religious identity and values, I proclaim Gambia as an Islamic state," the Gambian leader said. Clamp down on freedom of expression in Gambia About 90 percent of Gambia's 1.8 million people are Muslim. The country gained independence from Britain in 1965. "Gambia cannot afford to continue the colonial legacy," Jammeh said. In an attempt to allay the fears of religious minorities, Jammeh said the rights of Gambia's Christian community - who make up about eight percent of the country's population - will be protected. Jammeh said there will be no mandates on dress. "We will be an Islamic state that would respect the rights of all citizens and non-citizens." READ MORE: Gambia bans female genital mutilation The head of the country's Islamic body would not say if he endorsed the declaration. "We haven't met yet to discuss over the presidential announcement," said Supreme Islamic Council chairman Imam Momodou Lamin Touray. Hamat Bah, of the opposition National Reconciliation Party, criticised the decision. "There is a constitutional clause that says that Gambia is a secular state," he said. "You cannot make such a declaration without going through a referendum." Jammeh's government has been regularly criticised by Britain and other Western powers for human rights abuses. Jammeh has ruled Gambia since seizing power in 1994. Jeffrey Smith, a senior advocacy officer at the Robert F Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, told Al Jazeera that Jammeh's "unilateral" decision to call Gambia an Islamic republic is part of a "larger pattern of capriciousness" and has ulterior political motives. "Gambia is not a country of laws but is rather ruled by the whims of Yahya Jammeh," Smith said. RELATED: Being a journalist in Gambia "Second, Jammeh has burned all bridges with his former donors in the West due to his deplorable human rights track record and the rampant corruption that he has participated in. "As such, he is desperately attempting to foster a closer and more lucrative relationship with the Arab world. By couching his decision in terms of 'fighting colonialism', we can see that he is trying to cozy up with other parts of the world that harbour anti-West sentiments," he said. Jammeh's announcement came after Gambia said on Wednesday it would take in Rohingya refugees as part of its "sacred duty" to alleviate the suffering of fellow Muslims fleeing Southeast Asia to escape oppression. The government of the West African nation appealed to countries of the region to send Rohingya refugees to its shores, where it said it would set them up in refugee camps. "The government of Gambia notes with grave concern the inhumane condition of the Rohingya people of Myanmar - especially those referred to as 'boat people' - currently drifting in the seas off the coast of Malaysia and Indonesia," it said in a statement. "As human beings - more so fellow Muslims - it is a sacred duty to help alleviate the untold hardships and sufferings fellow human beings are confronted with."
