How To Create The Life You Really Want

Australians are losing their laidback, carefree reputation, as we continue to work longer hours, exercise less and neglect our leisure and family time. Recent research indicates that 67 per cent of Australian professionals spend at least 20 hours a week thinking about their job when they should be relaxing, and less than half take their entitled annual leave. Why is juggling work and life priorities an increasingly difficult challenge for many people? Could it be we are trying to pack more and more into our busy lives?

Well, most people are aware of their tendency to overload on work or information but simply don’t know what to do to get their life back to a healthy balance. Being successful isn’t only about your career and your possessions, it’s about waking up every day and feeling good about the person you are and the life that you have created.

Many people are searching for ways to achieve positive and lasting change both in and out of work. So what are the secrets to a healthy work life balance in a busy and demanding world?

Here are the Top 5 ways you can get the life you deserve.

Take a positive attitude to life, get out and do things. Make things happen and take action.

2. HAVE A STRONG SELF BELIEF.

Believe in your potential to create the life you really want for you and your family.

3. EXERCISE REGULARLY AND EAT WELL.

Your physiology directly influences the quality of your life.

Take the helicopter view to see the big picture and delegate if you can’t do it all yourself.

Osama Bin Laden’s Winter Home

For those of you who have been isolated from the rest of the world, Usama Bin Laden is a terrorist.

He is Dr. Death, International.

He sits on a rock at the top of a high mountain and thinks and thinks and thinks. What he is thinking about is this: How can I kill all the bad Moslems and every Non-Moslem in the world so that we can fulfill the will of the Koran that the World has a big sign that even can be seen from space (to preclude Non-Moslem astronauts) that reads: MOSLEMS ONLY!

When asked if Osama worked for the CIA or if the CIA had ever contacted Osama Bin Laden, the CIA said, “No. Numerous comments in the media recently have reiterated a widely circulated but incorrect notion that the CIA once had a relationship with Usama Bin Laden. For the record, you should know that the CIA never employed, paid, or maintained any relationship whatsoever with Bin Laden.” See: http://www.odci.gov/terrorism/faqs.html.

I though you would like to know that. The speaker didn’t say what was off the record.

The FBI and the CIA spell Osama, “Usama.” They have to be precise in such things.

Call him what you want.

I call him a cowardly pig that kills defenseless men, women, and children, including his own people, and also small animal critters that may or may not occupy embassies and office buildings.

The FBI and the CIA are out to get Osama.

The reward for his capture is FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

I intend to collect that reward by telling everyone exactly where he is.

The CIA can hire criminals and other unsavory characters in the search for Bin Laden.

Here is what they said, “CIA officers may now establish a relationship with such individuals without seeking prior CIA Headquarters approval, where there is a reasonable likelihood that those individuals have access to threat information of importance to the United States or its allies. Authority to approve the establishment of such relationships has been delegated to CIA field managers, but provisions to keep CIA Headquarters informed of such decisions remain in effect.” Ibid

“Ibid” means go to http://www.odci.gov/terrorism/faqs.html again unless you already read the CIA statement.

The above is given as a public service to those hardcore individuals that just can’t get hired because of their criminal and unsavory nature. The CIA may have a job for you!

So that we are all on the same ground, let’s look at the CIA definition of terrorism found at the same reference: “The Intelligence Community is guided by the definition of terrorism contained in Title 22 of the US Code, Section 2656f(d):

“The term “terrorism” means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience.

“The term “international terrorism” means terrorism involving the territory or the citizens of more than one country.

“The term “terrorist group” means any group that practices, or has significant subgroups that practice, international terrorism.”

Now we know that Lin Laden is just trying to get an audience!

We even know where we must go to BE SAFE from Osama:

HOLLYWOOD!

Following are a few comments out of Bin Laden’s mouth as given to ABC reporter John Miller in May 1998 His hour-long interview with Osama Bin Laden was at his mountaintop camp in southern Afghanistan. The interview took place a little more than two months before Al Qaeda’s truck bombings of the two U.S. embassies in East Africa. The reference URL is: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/who/miller.html.

“The American imposes himself on everyone. Americans accuse our children in Palestine of being terrorists–those children, who have no weapons and have not even reached maturity. At the same time, Americans defend a country, the state of the Jews that has a policy to destroy the future of these children.

“We are sure of our victory against the Americans and the Jews as promised by the Prophet: Judgment day shall not come until the Muslim fights the Jew, where the Jew will hide behind trees and stones, and the tree and the stone will speak and say, ‘Muslim, behind me is a Jew. Come and kill him.’”

If you are a Jew, DON’T HIDE BEHIND TREES OR STONES!

Osama, or Usama for FBI and CIA enthusiast, was born to a rich and humble family who contracted with the Saudi Arabian Government to build roads and structures. They had major construction projects in Mecca.

That’s where Osama is now:

Mecca!

I’ve said this over the last couple of years on my web sites but nobody believes me.

Osama tiptoed along the Afghanistan / Pakistan border until he reached Iran. Then he hopped a fishing boat to Saudi Arabia.

From there to get to Mecca was a snap. He rode in a Rolls Royce and was served sis kabob and lemonade.

I was there as a tourist (disguised as a Moslem, of course) when he sprightly hopped out of the Rolls.

He said, “Man, am I glad to be back! In the winter in those Pakistan mountains, it’s colder then a well digger’s butt in the Klondike!”

Now I know that the FBI and CIA are not allowed in Mecca.

You must be a Moslem.

ButI still want my Five Million Bucks?

Diversity Training: The Worst Possible Reasons to Request Executive Funding

You’re on your organization’s diversity committee. You have the best of intentions.

And that’s the problem.

It leads you to appeal for funding for all the wrong reasons.

Take healthcare for example.

The US foreign-born population comprises a larger segment than at any time in the past five decades. And this trend is expected to continue(1). People of diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural heritage suffer disproportionately from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and every form of cancer. In addition, their infant mortality rates are generally higher(2). Minorities receive measurably poorer care and they suffer for it.

Great reasons for diversity training. Disastrous reasons to ask for executive funding for your diversity program.

If you doubt me, just look at your budget. Chances are you’re getting sincere encouragement from the boardroom but not budget codes that represent significant financial resources.

Here’s the nut of the problem.

If you’re at or near the front lines–the medical floor if you’re in healthcare, or sales or service if you’re in a corporation–the discussions you’re having about diversity training are not the discussions your executives are having.

In healthcare, for example, when physicians, nurses, and their department heads discuss diversity training, they talk about the increased needs they experience in serving minority populations.

That conversation centers on health disparities among ethnic and cultural minorities, how they might be overcome, the new treatments that are called for, and new techniques and perspectives staff need to be educated in.

That discussion is all good. All well-intentioned. And every part it increases the expense side of the income statement.

Your executives are having a discussion of their own.

What they want to know is how diversity training impacts the business of whatever business you’re in. In healthcare, that means increasing your appeal to minority patients, competing for private purchaser business, responding to public purchaser demands, and improving cost effectiveness.

In other words, while frontline staff are talking about diversity training in a way that increases costs, executives are looking for strategies to decrease costs and increase income. As long as the frontline and boardroom talk past each other, programs like diversity training will fail to receive the recognition and funding they deserve.

But you don’t need to wait for a more enlightened day. In fact, you can turn a few switches on yourself.

If you’re a real advocate of diversity training, I recommend you start assembling a “business impact model”, the sharp dark line that connects performance on the front line with your organization’s ultimate business goals. There are some very good books where you can learn about this quickly. “The Success Case Method” by Robert Brinkerhoff and “Performance Consulting” by Robinson and Robinson are good places to start.

Here’s the short course.

Instead of asking for money for diversity training, start from the top down. Look at your unit’s business needs. In healthcare, this shows up as patient satisfaction scores, days in treatment, staffing levels, number of adverse events and law suits, and such.

Next, recognize that when your organization fails to work effectively with minority consumers, it’s not only the consumers who suffer. You need to point out how your organization is missing its numbers, how improved performance on the frontline will help your unit meet it’s goals, and how diversity training will create the improved performance you need.

Let me give you an example. Here’s how diversity training translates to lower liability costs in hospitals.

Hospitals administrators have a significant incentive to reduce medical malpractice claims. If you do a little digging, you’ll find out that four of five patients who sue haven’t suffered medical negligence(3). Patients sue because they feel devalued, deserted, misunderstood, and misinformed(4).

Combine that with the knowledge that minority patients are less satisfied–in fact African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans are 10-15 times more likely than whites to believe they would receive better health care if they were a different race(5)–and you have a recipe for trouble.

It will cost your hospital $25,000 to mount a defense for each claim, even if you win. And your hospital has scores of claims, possibly hundreds.

Put an argument like this together and see the mileage you get.

The discussion starts like this: “We have a problem with medical malpractice that we all want to solve. Each claim costs us $25,000 to defend. And X number of them have come from our staff’s difficulty in engaging minorities effectively. How many cases do you think we could head off if we trained this group of staff to perform more effectively in their interactions with minority patients?”

Now you’re talking about saving money and meeting organization goals.

And that’s a welcome reason to commit funding.

Whatever cultural issues your organization is facing, they have business impacts. You just need to point them out, and make your proposal part of the solution.

Insightful Information About the Brilliant Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle is believed to be the biggest inhabited castles around at this time and the eldest in continuous inhabitation (more than nine hundred years). It’s 1 of Queen Elizabeth’s 3 key homes, & is over and over again commented to be easily her most treasured home. The Royal colours soars over the Round Tower of Windsor Castle at whatever time Queen Elizabeth 2nd is at the palace - however, at other periods, the Union Jack flag flutters in its position.

Samuel Pepys proclaimed Windsor Castle to be “the single most passionate castle in the world.” That was in sixteen sixty six & the same can be said today.

Windsor Castle Rich History:

The assembly of Windsor can be found lying in the early 7th century Saxon village of Windlesora, where the current day dwellings of Old Windsor can be located. The settlement of Windsor is more correctly well-known as the “New Windsor” - the word “new” being taken in a relative way! Enjoy an amazing day out in London by visiting Windsor Castle with Enjoy England.

Windsor Castle was initially erected by William the Conqueror, on account of his assault of England in ten sixty-six. The original frame was constructed from timber with sol ramparts. Windsor Castle held an understandable strategic location on a big hill just above the River Thames, & was a division of a group of palaces surrounding the Capital, with the Tower of London, one day’s march away, at its middle.

The Palace was reassembled in stone, & rose in magnitude over the centuries. Later on Henry II assembled the Round Tower and the original stone outer wall. After the English Civil War, the structure’s principal function became that of a royal palace. The Castle has remained for the most part untouched ever since the early 19th century, apart from the restoration effort that followed the terrible fire.

One World Order: The “Return of the Khalifate” An Opinion - Part 2

One World Order; The “Return of the Khalifate.” An Opinion. Part 2.
To control the News is to control the worlds knowledge. In order to understand what this all means to us we must look into the past to see the future. In Daniel 7:25 we see that the Anti-Christ will attempt to forgive sins and trespasses, in His name.(For He shall declare that He is God.) Which being contrary to reason and to scripture. For a dictatorial rule to become effective, all subjects must be kept in submission by, 1. Power, I.E. Force.(Military and Secret Police.) and 2. Mind set, I.E. Mind control. (Propaganda.)

“And he shall speak great words (A great Orator.) against the most High (”the most High” is representitave of two Individuals, 1. God and 2. Jesus The Christ.), and shall wear out the saints of the most High (Placing burdens upon them.), and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”(7 years).

The Laws that we see here are the laws of the norman or natural, instances of Religion and of the Land itself. We will see natural Laws changed to suite His needs, such as the Laws of the Mohamidism Creed. According to the Foundation’s vision of the Khalifate, significant punishment can only be meted out for 14
crimes, including “accusing a chaste person of fornication,” “not performing the formal prayer,” and “not fasting during Ramadan.”( This could possibly be a prelude to the mark of the beast (666), knowing who and whom isn’t a follower of the Khalifate.)

T.S.K. In assuming infallibility, professing to forgive sins, and to open and shut heaven, thundering out bulls and anathemas, excommunicating princes, absolving subjects from their allegiance, and exacting obedience to his decrees in open violation of reason and Scripture. To gain total control he must change the Laws of Man and Religion. Just as spoken of in Daniel.
When you want to control mass numbers of people you must,
1. Control Money.(World Banking System. The World Bank provides support to developing countries, the IMF aims to stabilize the international monetary system and monitors the world’s currencies.)
2. Commerse.(Control of World Ports, Babylon The Great.
The Dubai company purchasing the rights to operate several U.S. ports has agreed to postpone some aspects of the takeover in order to give the Bush administration more time to convince Congress of the deals merits. Some lawmakers say this is a step in the right direction; others are not mollified. If the East Coast of America is Babylon the Great, this action by The Dubai company, an Arab State, then Revelations would be easily fulfilled.

Revelations 18:9-11; And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: ( This is the total destruction of The city’s sea ports.) For any sea port to come in line with the prophecy of Babylon, it must be a supplier of all things mentioned in Revelations. I have found only one that fits this description. The Eastern coast line of the United States.

Jeremiah 51:8-9 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
We would have healed Babylon ( Money isn’t enough to re pare the utter destruction.), but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven( This must be a judgment from God.), and is lifted up even to the skies.(The destruction is so massive that there would be no need for these buyers and sellers to remain.)

Isaiah 21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen.(World Leaders, some minor and two major leaders.) And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods (Financial Institutions, Stock Markets, Govermential Facility’s, The Gold Reserve Bank, Livestock Auctions, The Scientific Community and Museums. Ect.) he hath broken unto the ground.
3. Food, (Conglomerations of Farming Institutions and Produce Suppliers.) and the most important 4. Religion. (The One World Religion. In My opinion this could be one of these two. 1.Catholicism. 2. Mohamidism.(Islam.) A North American DJ/radio show host was warned by his boss - ‘No more anti-terror talk, no more pro-Israel talk’. Has America lost it’s right to free speech? In Part 3 we will look at the differences between; 1.Catholicism. 2. Mohamidism.(Islam.)
ars (References; Isa 21:9 -
behold: Jer_50:3, Jer_50:9, Jer_50:29, Jer_50:42, Jer_51:27
Babylon: Isa_13:19, Isa_14:4; Jer_50:2, Jer_51:8, Jer_51:64; Rev_14:8, Rev_18:2, Rev_18:21

Isabella Crib Bedding by Glenna Jean - A Product Review

Glenna Jean is a well-known designer and manufacturer of premium baby crib bedding and accessories, available through baby specialty stores and online retailers. One of Glenna Jean’s most popular sets is Isabella, which was introduced in early 2005. The Isabella bedding collection is a visually striking set with tassels and cording for those who desire a very feminine appearance for their baby girl’s nursery. With a four-piece crib set retailing for $400 or more, Isabella is far more expensive than many popular themed bedding collections from other national brands, such as Kidsline and Lambs & Ivy. Then again, it is far less expensive than custom-made crib bedding with comparable fabric quality and styling. If the price is within your budget, this is truly premium quality merchandise that more than justifies the price.

Isabella comes as a four-piece set which includes a quilt, bumper, crib skirt, and fitted sheet. There is also a five-piece option with your choice of a pillow or diaper stacker available. All pieces are also sold separately. The collection is made from a 60/40 cotton/poly blend and is machine washable. Glenna Jean has included specialized washing instructions for those pieces that come with tassels, which are generally pieces that would require infrequent washings. As with most bedding collections, accessories are available to enhance the nursery. A common accessory not available in the Isabella pattern is a hamper.

The Isabella collection is a genuine patchwork design, in which each patch of fabric is sewn together to create the pattern; as opposed to patchworks in which the “patches” are on the same fabric and the stitching makes it appear as though the patches are independent of each other. The quilt consists of several squares of each of the main fabrics used in the bedding accessories - pink toile and gingham, crushed green velvet, embroidered roses, pink and cream star pattern. I examined each of the fabrics very closely and was satisfied that Glenna Jean has selected only premium grade fabrics. There is an interesting pink, green, and cream cording used as trim around the quilt and bumper. The quality of the stitching and overall workmanship is very good, as I would expect at this price point. All ten of the fabrics used in the Isabella pattern are available for separate purchase, for those who are creative and wish to make their own nursery accessories.

The bumper measures 9″ tall with pink satin ties on the top only. One minor limitation for the bumper is the fact that it is one continuous piece, which makes washing it more of a chore. An interesting feature of the bumper is the patchwork pattern appears on both sides of the bumper. In many cases, the inward facing part of the bumper features the patterns used in the collection, while the outward facing area is a plaid or another striped fabric used as a background. The fitted crib sheet is a cream fleece, which is also on the back of the quilt. The crib skirt has an 18″ drop and features tassels.

Because Isabella merchandise is assembled in the United States, it can be particularly appealing for Canadian customers purchasing from a US retailer. It can be shipped to Canada duty-free, thereby avoiding charges of 17% or more of the purchase price that apply to bedding manufactured in China or India.

If you prefer the tassel and cording look of Isabella, you could look at Libbie, also by Glenna Jean.

How To Stop A Divorce

Divorce appears to be the new tendency in marriages these days. The entire globe appears to have jumped on the bandwagon which is endlessly being caused by split-ups in the entertainment industry. The holiness of wedlock is being sacrificed and it has turned into a marketplace for divorce- driven oblects such as divorce attorneys.

A great many people believe that obtaining a divorce is the sole means to pull out of a distressed relationship. However, as the wonderful philosopher Aristotle said, “There is always a third option.” Regarding individuals that believe that obtaining a divorce is the same thing as being contented, try thinking it through again. A current study that was lead by Ms. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago disclosed that divorced individuals are not any happier. An additional even more amazing reality that was uncovered by the research is that 67% of the individuals that became distressed about their marriages later stated that they were happy in their marriages five years later. Her group additionally discovered that a preponderance of devotedly wedded pairs had undergone long durations of sadness in their unions. The distinction is that the pair remained with the relationship and discovered answers to their difficulties.

Matrimony is designed to connect the inner souls of two individuals together. The marriage loses its holiness in the complete circumstance of splitting up. There exist more methods than one to stop divorce. Listed below are a few valuable points that someone can use in trying to rescue their marriage.

-Communication is the Key Virtually all differences advance to fights as a result of the absence of communication. A few pairs merely discuss chores and projects. Maintaining an open line of communication would maintain the frankness in the relationship and prevent concealed perceptions that could prod significant emotional harm.

-There Are No Perfect Relationships The fundamental lessons of economics dictate to us that any time we remain with one thing, we are consistently excluding something else. Divorces are commonly spurred by unfaithfulness and third-party affairs. Keep in mind that no relationship is perfect. Problems between marriage partners is no reason for unfaithfulness, actually it ought to make their relationship stronger.

-Look For Assistance In case everything else does not work the way you hoped it would and you have attempted to solve the difficulty between the pair of you, seek outside help. There exist professional marriage counselors that are able to help marriage partners with problems to get back on the right track. There’s no harm in seeking assistance.

Keep in mind that divorce has its penalties, which include tremendous monetary losses. Even more significantly, it taints marriage and completely finishes relationships. What it comes down to is that if there is more than sufficient love that exists within a home, divorce will not ever rear it ugly head.

David Fordley owns the website www.marriage-coundeling-stop-divorce.com where you can find marraige counseling to stop divorce and turn a marriage in trouble into one of happiness.
