Cottrell upholds Goldson suspension

Goldson Getty Images

Earlier this year, a one-game suspension imposed by the NFL on Bucs safety Dashon Goldson was overturned by hearing officer Matt Birk.

On Monday, the league took a second run at Goldson — and this time Ted Cottrell upheld the banishment.

Per a league source, Cottrell has heard the appeal and confirmed it.  As a result, Goldson will miss Sunday’s game at Detroit.  He’ll be eligible to rejoin the team on Monday, November 25.

Goldson has an extensive history, this year alone, of applying illegal hits on defenseless receivers.  When his prior suspension was overturned, a $100,000 fine was imposed instead.

With the suspension, Goldson will lose one game check in the amount of $264,705.88.

Also pending is the one-game suspension of Colts linebacker Erik Walden.  Walden was suspended after applying a head butt to Titans tight end Delanie Walker, who wasn’t wearing a helmet.

Spring League invites Johnny Manziel, Ray Rice, Vince Young

There’s never a shortage of eventually-failed football leagues, and with two of them angling to join the list of ventures that will later pull the plug, they’re both trying to stand out for at least a little while, before the inevitable demise.

The new Spring League, which received some advance notoriety when the #fakenews of NFL involvement emerged last month, has found another way to make a headline. Via Rob Maadi of the Associated Press, Spring League CEO Brian Woods explained that the door is open for big-name players who want to get back to the NFL.

“If Johnny Manziel is serious about a future in the NFL, the Spring League is willing to provide him with a platform to prove he’s still relevant,” Woods said. (The kids and/or the adults who want to seem cool would call that throwing shade.)

Woods also mentioned Ray Rice and Vince Young as potential additional to the upstart league. Even though the goal is to employ players in their mid-20s, the Spring League realizes that any publicity is good publicity, when it comes to staving off what surely will happen within the first three or four years of the league’s launch.

Former NFL players who already have signed up for the Spring League, which will be based at the Greenbrier in my home state of West Virginia so maybe I should be a little less unrealistic about its chances of success as a gesture of hospitality, include receiver Jalen Saunders, cornerback Ellis Lankster, and safety Pierre Warren.

So, yes, the interest in Manziel, Rice, and Young is obvious. It’s surprising the Spring League also hasn’t made a pitch for a certain football player turned baseball player who definitely needs a platform to prove he’s still relevant.

Stephen Jones: Jerry and Romo will work something out

Tony Romo, Jerry Jones AP

Stephen Jones has a big role in the operations of the Cowboys, but when it comes to the biggest decision the team will make this offseason — what to do with Tony Romo — Stephen knows that his father is still the owner and G.M.

Asked on KRLD-FM about Romo’s future, Stephen Jones answered, “You got the wrong guy on the phone right now.”

In other words, it’s going to be Jerry Jones who makes that call.

So how will it be worked out? Stephen Jones said he thinks his dad and Romo can come up with something that suits everyone’s interests.

“I’m sure as we move forward, obviously, there’s two really important people in this mix,” Stephen Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. “First and foremost will be Jerry and then, of course, Tony. I read where Jason said his wish is that Tony, whatever happens here, is happy. I’m sure most people feel that way. At the same time, we all know we’re in a business. It’s something here that will be, obviously, handled with, if you will, kid gloves. And something that we’ll work through and when we’re ready to have any comments about it, I know Jerry and Tony will be the ones to do that.”

Romo has lost his starting job to Dak Prescott, and there’s no getting it back. And there’s no way the Cowboys are going to keep a backup with a cap hit of more than $24 million in 2017. So the only question is whether Jones can find a team willing to trade for an old, injured, expensive quarterback, or whether Jones will release Romo. That’s something the two of them may work out between now and the start of the new league year, which is less than two months away.

Tom Brady has 19 touchdowns, 0 interceptions vs. Mike Tomlin

The Rooneys own the Steelers, but Tom Brady owns Mike Tomlin.

In the 10 years since Tomlin became head coach of the Steelers, Brady and the Patriots have faced Pittsburgh six times. And in those six games, Brady has absolutely embarrassed Tomlin’s defense.

According to NFL Research, Brady has 19 touchdown passes and zero interceptions in six games against Tomlin’s teams. Brady’s passer rating in those games is 127.5, his highest against any head coach he’s faced at least three times. His completion percentage against Tomlin’s defense is 71.2 percent and he has averaged 314.8 yards a game.

Brady has never failed to throw for at least two touchdown passes against Tomlin’s Steelers. Tomlin may need to find a way to reverse that on Sunday if he wants to get to the Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers: It’s loud in Atlanta, whether it’s all natural or not

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took a shot at the Falcons’ history of playing fake crowd noise over the Georgia Dome loudspeakers in his final media appearance before Sunday’s NFC Championship Game.

Asked about the noise in Atlanta, Rodgers acknowledged it’s loud, and then noted that the noise might not actually be coming from the fans.

“It’s really loud in there. Whether that’s all natural or not is yet to be seen,” Rodgers said.

The Falcons were stripped of a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft and fined $350,000 after an investigation revealed that they had been using fake crowd noise while the opposing offense was on the field during the 2013 and 2014 seasons. The Falcons fired their director of event marketing, whom they blamed for overseeing the scheme, and the NFL temporarily pulled Falcons President Rich McKay off the Competition Committee for it.

There have been no allegations that the Falcons resumed their practice since then, but Rodgers found it amusing to take a little shot at the team before Sunday’s game.

Report: Gus Bradley agrees to be Chargers’ defensive coordinator

Gus Bradley will be the Chargers’ new defensive coordinator, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday night.

Bradley spent the last four seasons as head coach of the Jaguars. He had been linked to multiple teams as a defensive coordinator candidate, and landing him is considered a win for new Chargers’ head coach Anthony Lynn.

The Seahawks’ defense took off in Bradley’s four seasons as their defensive coordinator from 2009-12 and ranked in the top 10 in total defense in his final two seasons before he went to Jacksonville. Prior to that, he had been the linebackers coach for the Buccaneers.

The Jaguars fired Bradley in December, knowing they would be headed in a different direction for 2017 after the team went 14-48 with Bradley as head coach. With the Chargers he’ll take over a defense headlined by 2016 rookie defensive end Joey Bosa and Pro Bowl cornerback Casey Hayward.

James Harrison on Tom Brady: Any QB can be rattled if you hit him

(Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images) Getty Images

Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison knows his primary job on Sunday will be hitting Tom Brady.

Harrison was asked today whether Brady can be rattled and he answered, “I believe anybody can be rattled if you get hit enough.”

In Harrison’s view, beating Brady is all about getting pressure on him.

“You can put pressure on any quarterback, to make him uncomfortable — if a quarterback is sitting back there without pressure he’s going to do a good job of spreading the ball around and getting it to his receivers,” Harrison said.

If Harrison fails at rattling Brady, he knows the Patriots’ offense can put a lot of points on the board.

“He gets the ball where it needs to go, his receivers do a good job of catching the ball and getting yards after the catch, his line does a good job of holding up and blocking well and they run the ball pretty decent too,” Harrison said.

And so Harrison will try to hit Brady enough that the Patriots’ offense can’t do all the things it does very well.

Report: Kevin O’Connell will coach quarterbacks in Washington

Washington Redskins v Tennessee Titans Getty Images

The Redskins will hire Kevin O’Connell as their new quarterbacks coach, Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports reported Friday.

The team has not announced the move, nor has it announced a replacement for offensive coordinator Sean McVay after he became head coach of the Rams. The hiring of O’Connell would indicate that head coach Jay Gruden will promote Matt Cavanaugh from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator.

O’Connell, 31, was quarterbacks coach with the Browns in 2015 and worked on the 49ers’ staff last season. The report said he had also been in the mix for coordinator and quarterbacks coach jobs at the college level.

O’Connell spent five seasons in the NFL as a player. He worked training high school and college quarterbacks before accepting a job with the Browns prior to the 2015 season.

Travis Kelce fined for ripping ref

KANSAS CITY, MP - JANUARY 15: Tight end Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs signals a first down in the first quarter of the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers  in the AFC Divisional Playoff game at Arrowhead Stadium on January 15, 2017 in Kansas City, Missouri.

After the Chiefs lost to the Steelers on Sunday, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce ripped referee Carl Cheffers, saying Cheffers “shouldn’t be able to wear a zebra jersey,” even at Foot Locker. The NFL was not amused.

A league source tells PFT that Kelce has been fined for criticizing Cheffers.

Although we have not confirmed the exact amount of Kelce’s fine, it’s believed to be about $12,500. That’s half of what Josh Norman was fined for telling an official he sucked during the regular season.

Players generally get a pass if they criticize the officiating in a general sense. When they start to get personal toward an individual official, that’s when the league cracks down. The NFL felt that Kelce, by specifically identifying Cheffers and criticizing not just one specific holding call but Cheffers’ competence in general, had crossed the line.

The NFL has also said that Cheffers was correct on the call in question, a holding call on Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher. And the NFL has appointed Cheffers to referee the Super Bowl, demonstrating that the league is satisfied that Cheffers is fully capable of wearing the zebra jersey to do more than sell footwear.

The Chargers will hire Alfredo Roberts as their new running backs coach, ESPN’s Adam Caplan reported Friday.

Roberts previously worked with new Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn in Cleveland, where Lynn coached running backs and Roberts coached the tight ends in 2007-08, and in Jacksonville.

Roberts also previously was the tight ends coach for the Buccaneers and Colts. He played on two Super Bowl teams with the Cowboys in the early 1990s.

Jaguars hire Keenan McCardell as wide receivers coach

536984 Getty Images

Jimmy Smith’s prayers have been answered.

When word broke that the Jaguars were interviewing Keenan McCardell to be their wide receiver coach, Smith said he was praying for his former Jacksonville teammate to get the job. Their former coach and current executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin helped announce the news on Friday afternoon.

“We all understand what Keenan means to this organization and we are excited to welcome him home to Jacksonville, as he’ll oversee the growth and consistent improvement of our receiving corps,” Coughlin said in a statement. “I had the pleasure of coaching Keenan for six seasons and understand his passion for the game of football and his burning desire to win.”

McCardell joined the Jaguars in 1996 and caught 499 passes for 6,393 yards and 30 touchdowns over six seasons with the team. McCardell played 16 years in the NFL overall, wrapping up his career with the Redskins in 2007 and catching 883 passes in the process.

McCardell coached the wide receivers in Washington in 2010 and 2011 and spent two years in the same job at the University of Maryland, where he worked with current Vikings wideout Stefon Diggs.

Tom Brady still not willing to talk Donald Trump

On Thursday night, Donald Trump said that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady called to congratulate the since-inaugurated Commander-in-Chief. On Friday, Brady declined to address the situation, in any way.

Asked by reporters to share some of the details about the call, Brady said this: “I don’t have much to say.”

Asked simply whether he called Trump, Brady said this: “Did I call him? Let’s talk about football.”

In contrast, coach Bill Belchick admitted that he had sent Trump a letter of encouragement before the election, after Trump read from the letter at a rally.

It’s Brady’s prerogative to say whether he did or didn’t make the call; after the election, he said he’s done talking politics. However, the fact that he said nothing underscores the notion that he surely wasn’t happy about the public disclosure of his private communication.

Vikings make it official with coordinator Pat Shurmur

PHILADELPHIA, PA - SEPTEMBER 7: Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur of the Philadelphia Eagles watches his team warm up prior to the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 7, 2014 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images) Getty Images

After going through interim quarterbacks, interim running backs and interim tackles last year, the Vikings decided to remove that adjective from their offensive coordinator’s title.

The team announced that Pat Shurmur would remain as their offensive coordinator, after he took over for Norv Turner last November.

The team also announced that Kevin Stefanski will move from coaching running backs to quarterbacks, along with the hirings of running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu and tight ends coach Clancy Barone.

Shurmur’s background with Sam Bradford was helpful for the Vikings this year, as they tried to recover from Teddy Bridgewater’s knee injury. They worked together previously with the Rams and Eagles, and may well into the future, since no one’s quite sure when or if Bridgewater will return.

Travis Kelce fined for shoving Ross Cockrell

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce ripped the officials in last Sunday’s playoff loss to the Steelers for a holding call on left tackle Eric Fisher on a two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter and said that referee Carl Cheffers wasn’t fit to wear a striped shirt for Foot Locker.

The NFL has a different read on Cheffers’ work as they named him to work the Super Bowl in Houston in a couple of weeks. We don’t know if Kelce’s views of the officiating have drawn a fine from the league, but PFT has confirmed that Kelce was fined for an on-field penalty.

Kelce has been fined $9,115 for an unnecessary roughness penalty. Kelce was flagged in the third quarter for shoving Steelers cornerback Ross Cockrell at the end of a play. The penalty pushed the Chiefs back 15 yards, but they were able to convert a first down on the next play and ended the drive with three points.

That wasn’t enough to put them in front of the Steelers, who advanced to the AFC Championship Game by an 18-16 score after the Chiefs’ second try at the aforementioned two-point conversion came up short.

No fines for Chiefs-Steelers post-game skirmish

Although it didn’t get a lot of attention in the media, a skirmish broke out between players on the Chiefs and Steelers after Sunday night’s playoff game.

The league office didn’t pay it any mind, either: PFT has confirmed that none of the players involved were fined.

Chiefs defensive backs Terrance Mitchell and Marcus Peters were involved in some pushing and shoving with several Steelers players, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin got between them. Steelers coach Joey Porter also got in the middle of it, trying to break things up just days after he was reinstated from the team after being put on leave briefly for allegedly doing some pushing and shoving of his own in a Pittsburgh restaurant.

No punches were thrown and it was a fairly mild scuffle, so it’s no surprise that the NFL decided not to hand out any discipline, even if it wasn’t exactly the ideal way for a playoff game to end.

Jadeveon Clowney, Eric Rowe fined for divisional round infractions

Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney hit Patriots quarterback Tom Brady a few times in last Saturday’s Patriots win in the divisional round of the playoffs and one of them led to an animated reaction from Brady when a flag wasn’t thrown.

Clowney dragged Brady down on an incomplete pass in the third quarter and Brady was seen shouting at the officials after the play was over. He got the flag he was looking for early in the next quarter when Clowney was penalized for roughing Brady on a 10-yard completion to running back Dion Lewis.

PFT has confirmed with the league that Clowney was also fined $18,231 for roughing Brady.

Patriots cornerback Eric Rowe has also been fined $12,154 after picking up an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. There was a scrum at the end of a short completion on third down to Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins early in the game and Rowe was penalized for pulling people off the pile. The penalty gave the Texans a first down that they used to continue a drive that ended with a field goal.

Learning to detect memory leaks in C

juniorcoderjuniorcoder FinlandMember Posts: 1

I have often a problem in programming that valgrind says the there can be some leaks. What kind of methods there are to make sure if my code leaks memory or is it some library not written by me which leaks memory?

  • Malcolm_McLeanMalcolm_McLean Member Posts: 254 ✭✭

    It's unlikely that an established library is leaking memory for your particular program. Whilst you do get leaks and other bugs, usually they are only triggered when you do something very unusual. A new library could leak.

    valgrind will tell you where the allocation was made if you pass --leak_check=full. There's no one way of plugging leaks.
    Normally, allocations should either be followed by a matching free in the same function, or the allocated memory should be returned and freed by caller, or the allocation should be inserted into an elaborate structure which is then killed or freed in one go.
    C won't tell you which pointer "owns" the memory, and there's no convention. So you need to be clear in your own mind, which is the owner and which pointers are just links.

Of course it is the owner who has final say on whether to pay his star player, whether to make him a $100 Million Man, or something close. So Darrelle Revis is right on the money when he says, “It starts from the top. It starts with Woody Johnson.”

Revis can choose to believe Woody Johnson is cheaper than Fred Wilpon — until he puts his money where his mouth is — if he likes. But going public on NFL Network firing the cheap shot at Johnson and challenging the owner to empty The Bank of Florham Park is hardly the way to convince him to make you a Jet For Life.

If that is what Revis truly desires.

He would have been better off remaining speechless if he does.

Andrea Kremer: “Do you feel that Woody Johnson doesn’t want to pay you to keep you on the team?”

Revis: “That might be a situation. That might be something. That might be an option.”

The conspiracist in me wonders whether Revis is either plotting an Escape From New York, or is now resigned to one.

Once his torn ACL is completely rehabilitated — and it won’t be too much longer, we have been told by the Revis side — there will be legitimate Super Bowl contending teams who will be salivating to trade for the best cornerback in the game and show him the money.

9 Tips for Developing a Loving Relationship

9 Top Tips for Developing a Loving Relationship
Loving relationships take time to develop. They have to be built, brick by brick. To create a harmonious, happy relationship between you and your partner takes time.

To help understand yourself and your partner better, to have an idea of what’s in store for the two of you in the future, you’d do well to go for a psychic reading in a safe and friendly environment, taking advantage of the totally free psychic chat rooms. But while a sensitive and knowledgeable psychic can guide you and lead on the way, much of the work of building a relationship has to be done by you and you alone.

We offer 9 excellent tips that should get you on your way towards a happy, fulfilling relationship. While these tips are meant for your relationship with your partner, with a few modifications, the same can be applied as well to your relationship with your parents, siblings or best friend.
Read on!

1. Share your thoughts openly, in a calm and safe environment

Don’t get too upset by anything, always hold your cool and make your point as calmly as you can. Don’t threaten your partner about leaving him or her, and if you’re quite sure that your partner is wrong on a certain issue, try to convince him or her as patiently as possible. Getting a psychic reading in a totally free psychic chat room helps you to anticipate certain issues that make you better prepared for any relationship crisis.

2. Don’t let your feelings get in the way of the truth

Sometimes, we get too emotional about certain things and get influenced by events from our past, which leads to wrong decisions in the present when it comes to our relationships. Ask yourself before deciding on anything – what are the facts? They may not be convenient, but there is no point in hiding from them, as that only causes more hurt, and more conflict.

3. Think with your heart, mind and body

The best psychics advice you on making a decision only after considering your heart, mind and body. As you participate in the totally free psychic chat rooms, you will be told that predicting the future course of your relationship has to take into consideration not just what your heart tells you, but also what your body feels and your mind thinks. You should try to connect all three, and think in one voice, not be confused.

4.  Be compassionate towards your partner

Don’t judge your partner, try to understand him or her, why he or she behaves in a certain way, what compels him or her to say certain things, even hurtful things. A good Empath psychic would help in giving you a better idea of your partner’s feelings about you, whether he or she is hiding anything from you.

5. It’s about “us” in a relationship, not about “me”

A relationship has no space for just “I” or “me”… it’s always about “us” and “we”. In a relationship you must sacrifice a little for your partner’s happiness. You cannot get your way with anything and everything. Remember, “we” is always a lot stronger than “I”.

6. Don’t try to “fix” your partner’s issues

Your partner has his or her own issues or problems to deal with, just as you have yours. Don’t attempt to interfere beyond a point. Give your partner the space that he or she requires. A great relationship is often about letting go. You can get great help from a psychic in the totally free psychic chat rooms in getting a better understanding of your partner’s issues.

7. Communicate better, don’t shy away from asking questions

One of the greatest reasons for a relationship to go wrong is that the couple refuse to communicate and address an issue together, ask what’s bothering them. There are many things you wouldn’t want to know, but for the sake of the relationship, you have to ask your partner about it.

8. Always have time for your relationship

You may have the busiest job in the world, but that doesn’t give you the free pass to ignore your partner. You must make time for your partner. Go on frequent dates, eat out, go on a vacation to Thailand – there are so many things that you should do together.

9.  Don’t shy away from offering constructive criticism

Sometimes you’ll have to offer your partner some hard advice, make sure that he or she knows the facts, no matter how unpleasant they are. Nobody is perfect, we all make our mistakes. You must be tough enough to point this out to your partner when he or she does something wrong and be fearless of the consequences. Readings at totally free psychic chat rooms with a sensitive and caring psychic prepares you, better for this, as you will have a far better understanding of what’s wrong and what to do about it. Sign up for genuine free online psychic readings.

Altas ondas! Nunca falham! - Eu já surfei a Praia do Norte com 7 metros e achei um espctáculo. Fui lá com os meus amigos, todas as semanas lá vou para fazer umas filmagens. Aquelas ondas são lindas como a Ana Margarida. I love Praia do Norte!!!!!!

De CHUFLAX , 14-03-2007

¡Good lives in Nazaré! - I know this is the most powerfull wave in Portugal.When Supertubes is working at 1 m there are possibly 2 m wave in Praia Norte. The "big Zahora power" wave in Portugal.Something like Puerto Escondido but more perfect...

De sibuco , 21-04-2006

damn, portugeses - this wave is SICK. It looks like puerto or HUGE black's in SD. look at the last couple of pics, this place is ridiculous. a bodyboarders heaven. how the hell is this wave not world famous. Portugal here i come.

De Serious , 30-03-2006

- BEST SPOT of Portugal!!!

De , 24-11-2005

a spooky spot - Every spot is unique in a way. It's hard to compare but in some way it seemed to me as a combination of Mavericks and Hossegor, or rather a Mavericks beach break. I was there in June 2005 and was very surprised at the size of the swell. Actually, I went there during a peak of a larger swell (quite unusual for summer) and was greeted with 10+ ft surf, rather heavy. From further away, the place seemed easy and perfect but it was much bigger and heavier from up close. I guess it is a place worth visiting in winter, if not for surfing, at least for visual enjoyment. I would like to see the place during an unusually powerfull winter storm accompanied by stiff offshore winds.

The Bigest and powerfull in europe - For sure this are the bigest waves of europe. I have been on the most popular waves, but this one is not famous, but for me they are one of the the most powerfull waves of the planet...i have been there in november 2004, and i have seen 16ft and over...very power. world class, go there, get crazy

De real , 20-07-2005

oi oi oi - its true though, if that wave was in oz it would be very crowded

De anonymous , 13-06-2005

- i surfed this when it was about 5.5 meters

De kamikaze , 05-03-2005

Unrriden realm - Nazaré(praia norte)has been a taboo among the portuguese surf comunity. Everyone knows it exists, everyone knows that is world class, everyone talks about and just a little few ride it...they prefer looking for inexisting waves instead of facing reality . It can handle 20-25ft with classic conditions(i´ve witness that),and due to the lack of a continental platform on the outside(the unique place in portugal where that happens)it produces power easily comparable to hawaian power, with true atlantic ocean waves marching through like hell towards that beach. Very HEAVY place, you need a very strong lung, watch out for the shorebreak, instead of breaking your board it can easily break you in 2 parts(i mean that, just look at photos), DON`T ever, ever go out alone over 9ft and i advise leaving someone at the beach with a celular in cause costguard is needed. Good luck and big balls cause you gonna need it........

Abstract: Education is a key policy area for achieving democracy-related goals. In this respect the European Commission have developed indicators to monitor the levels of active citizenship across Europe (Hoskins et al 2006 and Hoskins and Mascherini 2009) and levels of civic competence across Europe (Hoskins et al 2008). The 2020 Education and Training policy agenda (ET 2020) continues to identify Active Citizenship as one of the four major policy goals and continues to support national governments in developing key competences, including civic competences, of its citizens. Active Citizenship was a priority of the 2011 Hungarian Presidency, and Education Ministers were invited to debate this issue at a March 2011 meeting. An outcome of this meeting was the ministers’ support of the Centre for Research on Education and Lifelong Learning’s (CRELL) development of a new composite indicator on civic competence. The Commission, represented by Commissioner Vassiliou, called for a ‘coherent and comprehensive strategy which covers all aspects of citizenship education in a lifelong learning perspective’. Based on these needs, CRELL has created a new composite indicator on civic competence, the Civic Competence Composite Indicator 2 (CCCI-2). It comprises four dimensions: ‘Participatory Attitudes’, ‘Citizenship Values’, ‘Social Justice Values’, and ‘Knowledge and Skills for Democracy’. The data was obtained from young people between 13 and 14 years old as part of the IEA International Citizenship and Civic Education Study 2009 conducted in 38 countries. The findings of this new indicator show that wealth and democratic stability in a country do not guarantee democratically engaged youth. In addition, young people’s positive attitudes towards participation and their citizenship values are often enhanced in relatively poorer countries with recent breaks in democracy. We might perceive that this will be beneficial for the future of democracies in these countries, however, the limited evidence available does not point towards the fact that these youthful aspirations actually make it into engaged adult citizens. Western democracies appear to be fostering a non-participatory culture in their youth. However, social justice attitudes and knowledge and skills for democracy, appear to be more prevalent in these wealthier and democratically more stable countries. These trends are consistent with the results of the original CRELL indicator research, using data from 10 years ago, which suggests a consistency of civic cultures amongst the younger generations. The findings also suggest that measuring the wealth of a nation only through its GDP does not capture the health of the future of democracy. The more wealthy countries need to do more to enhance and maintain the citizenship norms and participatory attitudes of their young people. In contrast, it is social justice that remains the issue for the newer democracies in Europe.

From NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.

And I'm Melissa Block. An era in magazine history is closing. Chicago-based Johnson Publishing Co., or JPC, says "Jet" magazine is going digital. Some 700,000 subscribers will no longer see a print edition. It's with the exception of one special print issue a year. "Jet" has been a weekly staple in many African American communities for more than six decades.

NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates, from our Code Switch team, has this report.

KAREN GRIGSBY BATES, BYLINE: "Jet" magazine was a fixture in black America. As most black baby boomers can tell you, if you went to a black doctor, lawyer or hairdresser, "Jet" was going to be in the waiting room, just as it was on the coffee tables in many black homes. In the 1980s, George Curry covered then-presidential candidate Jesse Jackson for the Chicago Tribune.

GEORGE CURRY: I remember Jesse Jackson saying, when I was covering his 1984 campaign, someone would say, was it in New York Times? He said, I don't care about that. Was it in "Jet"? If it's not in "Jet," it didn't happen.

BATES: Curry now heads the news service of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, the consortium of the country's black newspapers. He says "Jet" was always an amalgam of black pop culture and news. The magazine often had stars like Lena Horne and Angela Bassett on its covers, and regularly chronicled black society and communities around the country.

But "Jet" really made its bones during the civil rights era. In 1955, it tenaciously covered the murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till by two segregationists while Till was visiting relatives in Mississippi. George Curry:

CURRY: There is no event in my life that has been more transforming than the murder of Emmett Till. And "Jet" captured it like nobody else. When you saw those pictures, "Jet" brought it home.

BATES: Publisher John H. Johnson made the decision not only to cover the trial in print, but to photograph pictures of Till's grotesquely mutilated body when it was returned to his mother in Chicago. Thousands of mourners stood for hours to pay their respect before his open casket. At Mamie Till Bradley's request, "Jet" published the photos. George Curry remembers them vividly, even now.

CURRY: You saw those photographs, the lines outside of the funeral home in Chicago. "Jet" made you see it. It was a unique publication.

BATES: But in recent years, the unique publication was getting stiff competition from instantly accessible news sources, and it's suffered from an aging readership. This morning, Linda Johnson Rice, the late founder's daughter, announced "Jet" will cease print publication at the end of June. We're not saying goodbye to "Jet," Johnson Rice promised in a statement; we are embracing the future as my father did in 195,1 and taking it to the next level.

Starting in July, "Jet" will be an online magazine only. Karen Grigsby Bates, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

1.  Polymorphisms in the genes coding for iron binding and transporting proteins are associated with disability, severity, and early progression in multiple sclerosis
BMC Medical Genetics  2012;13:70.
Iron involvement/imbalance is strongly suspected in multiple sclerosis (MS) etiopathogenesis, but its role is quite debated. Iron deposits encircle the veins in brain MS lesions, increasing local metal concentrations in brain parenchyma as documented by magnetic resonance imaging and histochemical studies. Conversely, systemic iron overload is not always observed. We explored the role of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the main iron homeostasis genes in MS patients.
By the pyrosequencing technique, we investigated 414 MS cases [Relapsing-remitting (RR), n=273; Progressive, n=141, of which: Secondary (SP), n=103 and Primary (PP), n=38], and 414 matched healthy controls. Five SNPs in 4 genes were assessed: hemochromatosis (HFE: C282Y, H63D), ferroportin (FPN1: -8CG), hepcidin (HEPC: -582AG), and transferrin (TF: P570S).
The FPN1-8GG genotype was overrepresented in the whole MS population (OR=4.38; 95%CI, 1.89-10.1; P<0.0001) and a similar risk was found among patients with progressive forms. Conversely, the HEPC -582GG genotype was overrepresented only in progressive forms (OR=2.53; 95%CI, 1.34-4.78; P=0.006) so that SP and PP versus RR yielded significant outputs (P=0.009). For almost all SNPs, MS disability score (EDSS), severity score (MSSS), as well as progression index (PI) showed a significant increase when comparing homozygotes versus individuals carrying other genotypes: HEPC -582GG (EDSS, 4.24±2.87 vs 2.78±2.1; P=0.003; MSSS, 5.6±3.06 vs 3.79±2.6; P=0.001); FPN1-8GG (PI, 1.11±2.01 vs 0.6±1.31; P=0.01; MSSS, 5.08±2.98 vs 3.85±2.8; P=0.01); HFE 63DD (PI, 1.63±2.6 vs 0.6±0.86; P=0.009). Finally, HEPC -582G-carriers had a significantly higher chance to switch into the progressive form (HR=3.55; 1.83-6.84; log-rank P=0.00006).
Polymorphisms in the genes coding for iron binding and transporting proteins, in the presence of local iron overload, might be responsible for suboptimal iron handling. This might account for the significant variability peculiar to MS phenotypes, particularly affecting MS risk and progression paving the way for personalized pharmacogenetic applications in the clinical practice.

Critics of latest Duke Energy rate hike speak out

Duke Energy ratehike [1]Waving over-sized “Monopoly” money and signs calling for the state Utilities Commission and its Public Staff to begin acting like genuine watchdogs, 50-plus representatives from a variety of consumer and environmental groups held a press conference/protest today outside the offices of the Commission in downtown Raleigh. The took place just over an hour prior to the commencement of new hearings on what would be Duke’s third major rate hike for residential consumers since 2009.

Despite the immediate impetus for the event, Jim Warren, Executive Director of NC WARN [2] said that the protest was about “a lot more than a rate hike. ” He said that protesters were calling into question “Duke Energy’s business model” which is predicated on improperly charging customers hundreds of millions of dollars each year.  Warren called for an end to the current pattern of Commission and Public Staff oversight which he described as one marked by secret, behind-closed-doors negotiations that invariably end up with Duke getting most of what it wants. Warren likened the current pattern to one in which police catch a bank robber in the act and then send him home with most of the money he stole.

Steve Hahn of AARP North Carolina followed Warren to the microphone and echoed his call for a new wave of strong Commission oversight. Hahn said the newest proposed rate hike would eat up up all of the extremely modest (1.7%) cost of living adjustments that fixed income seniors have received in the past year.

Monica Embrey of the environmental group Greenpeace said that Duke Energy is already forcing residential consumers to pay of their own demise through the company’s ongoing investments in “dirty and dangerous” fossil fuels and its refusal to meaningfully expand its commitment to renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.

Satana Deberry of the North Carolina Housing Coalition [3] noted that Duke’s bills are, even at their current rates, already an enormous buden on low income households. She said that  10% of residential customers are already subejct to a shutoff order in any given year and, along with other speakers, lamented the fact that residential consumers are already being forced to subsidize special low rates given to commercial large data centers that employ few people but drain vast amounts of electricity — electricity for which the data centers pay 1/3 the rate of residential customers.

Duke Energy ratehike 2 [4]The event concluded with an amusing bit of streeet theater in which activist/actors portrayed Duke as a modern day “Monopoly Man” and the Utilities Commission as an ineffective and bumbling sheriff.

The rate hike hearing commenced at 1;30 and is expected to continue for several days.

Kim Mancha
Posted on Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:50 pm:

Questioning when will the median on Lebanon towards the Plantation Golf Course and new medical center will see improvements? Also, I understand that Plantation Golf Course is not privately owned, therefore, what about improvements to the grounds? It is very unsightly from Lebanon, it is a far cry from a well maintained golf course, planted one area of plants toward the street, and never watered and they are dying. We bought a home there and are concerned about the upkeep of the grounds and maintaining our property value. Also, is it the city's responsibility for fencing the area on Jereme between Plantation and Moss Creek that crosses over the water?

Posted on Wednesday, August 21, 2002 - 04:17 pm:

1. The median you spoke of was not included on the list for improvements with the funding available for FY02 budget. Staff is currently working to update the median projects for FY03. This amount will be based on the amount of funding available in the budget.
2. Plantation Golf Course is a privately owned golf course; the City does not own it. You need to contact the golf course and express your wishes if you would like to see additional plantings or have concerns with the care of the golf course. I will have a staff member visit the area to ensure that the trees required by ordinance or landscape plans are alive and in a growing condition.
3. I assume the area you are speaking of is the water area south of Jereme. The City is not responsible for fencing that area. It is privately owned and maintained. If any fence were to be constructed, it would be the responsibility of the property owner.

If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me directly.

U.S. Rep.-elect Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., announced two top staff positions Wednesday, hiring her campaign manager, Allison Jaslow, to be her new chief of staff and a former aide to Rep. Lane Evans to lead her district operation.

Bustos defeated Rep. Bobby Schilling, R-Ill., in the 17th Congressional District race last month and much of her time since then has been going through orientation and performing other tasks as she prepares to take office next month.

Jaslow, a Virginia native and a U.S. Army veteran, has worked in various official and campaign capacities. She was an aide to Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., and Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va. Bustos hired her in April to run her campaign.

Meanwhile, a familiar face in Quad-City economic development and political circles has been tapped to lead Bustos’ district office. Jerry Lack, a longtime aide to Evans, was appointed the new congresswoman’s district director.

Get news headlines sent daily to your inbox

Lack worked for Evans for 23 years, much of it as his economic development director. He left the office after the 2006 elections, when Rep. Phil Hare succeeded Evans. Since then, Lack has been executive director of the Illowa Construction Labor & Management Council, a nonprofit that promotes the union construction industry. Two years ago, he mounted an unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic nomination to succeed the retiring Rep. Mike Boland.

The staff hires are the first that Bustos has made since being elected. Her office also has not yet made any announcements on committee assignments. Bustos has said she’s seeking appointments to the Armed Services and Transportation committees.

The Armed Services spot could be a help with matters involving the Rock Island Arsenal.

“Healthy thoughts manifest a healthy body; unhealthy thoughts manifest an unhealthy body.”

nss2erzqwgw-freestocks-org (1)Damocles’ sword hangs over our modern world

Medical knowledge and practices in our modern-day era far exceed what our medical knowledge and practices were in yesterday’s world. Yet, in spite of these vast differences, it is safe to say that we are witnessing a greater number of illnesses and a wider range of sicknesses than ever before throughout our history. We truly have Damocles’ sword hanging over our collective heads.

Our thoughts manifest consequences upon our mental and physical well-being

Daily, we see the consequences of our thoughts and our practices upon our health and physical bodies: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and hypertension are just a few of the most serious threats to shorten our earthly lives as well as fill them with pain and suffering.

Prescription drugs…are they the pathway to achieving good health?

In 2015, it is estimated that over 4.8 billion prescriptions were filled in America alone. While the focus of our present healthcare system is upon medicinal healing, we appear to ignore our focus upon spiritual healing. Yet, there are two important tenants of the quantum universe which can lead to enjoying good health:

  • all objects, big and small, are connected within a field of energy, and hence, we all are energy which vibrates at various frequencies
  • we are creators, not observers in the universe and as such, our focus helps to manifest that which we set our attention upon

We are vibrational energy…how can our ills be cured?

Since we are all Vibrational Energy which is interconnected and we are creators in the quantum universe, our spirituality is inseparable from our physiology and our physiology is inseparable from our spirituality. However, we spend vast amounts of money in an attempt to cure our physiological Self and chose to ignore the vibrational causes within our spiritual Self which manifest a wide array of illnesses.

Seek vibrational ills and cures

As we run to fill a prescription for this and another prescription for that, we appear to be unaware that our physicality is the manifestation of our spirituality. Since the universe responds to our emotions, it is imperative that we look for vibrational causes and not medicinal cures.

Negativity and disharmony leads to blocked energy pathways which manifest poor health

Negative thoughts and feelings block the free flow of energy which manifests an unhealthy body while positive thoughts and feelings allow the free flow of energy which manifests a healthy body. However, it is not just negative thoughts and feelings which attract illnesses to us; it is our feelings of isolation. Being disconnected from others, albeit, beasts or beings, results in disharmony of the Self. This disharmony then manifests as a wide range of illnesses within our lives.

Be responsible for your own ills and cures

While we are responsible to our Self for our own health and well-being, most are unaware of the responsibility given to us by a benevolent Creator.

Spiritual awareness is a natural pathway to good health

Awareness of your spiritual Self can bring changes to your life and provide an escape from your present unpleasant situation to a healthy future. In the end, our focus and our thoughts reveal a new world to each of us; this is a cardinal rule of quantum physics.

“Success can be narrowed down to just a few simple tasks: reading, thinking, and acting.”

xmcothgncqa-joshua-sortinoSuccess does not manifest from luck, chance, or fate

We all long for success, yet, most of us believe that success is some mysterious, hard-to-reach place which only a few fortunate ones every get to experience in their lifetime because of their luck, chance, or fate.

Success can be achieved by everyone…just follow the Natural Laws

The good news is that we can attain what we want in life since our success is subject to a set of Natural Laws that are precise and concise as any other mathematical law. And when one is aware of how the Laws work and how they truly favor our success, we can and must achieve what we set out to attain in our life without having to rely upon a stroke of good luck or a twist of fate.

The path to success can be straightforward, not complicated

When we think about our success, the means to arrive at that wonderful place in life can be narrowed down to a set of tasks which will change the direction of your life. These simple, but, effective tasks include reading, thinking, and doing. They appear to be simple and straightforward, without the complexities and mystery of other ideas, nonetheless, if you follow these ideas faithfully, they will manifest incredible changes in your life.

Take the first step…reading

The first step in our journey of success is reading. Reading can and will set you on the correct road to success. When you read a book about others’ success, it provides possibilities in your own life. The person you develop into in the future is a result of the books you read today. There is no better way to start your journey of achievement. Honestly create a plan to read and faithfully follow your personal plan for success.

Your thoughts determine your success

The next step is thinking where your results, good or bad, originate from. There is no getting away from the fact that your thoughts and your thoughts alone determine the success you achieve in your life.

Don’t let the bad weeds conquer your mind

We are the creators in a universe that always manifests what we think about. Thus, meditate regularly and visualize daily to achieve your goals and like a careful gardener, do not let the weeds of bad thought enter your mind. Be vigilant to keep fear, hate, and envy out of your mind.

The final step…acting upon what you’ve read and thought about

Finally, we reach the last of the three steps in my simple plan for success, acting. While we can read and think about our success all we want, in the end, we must be prepared to do something to help us reach our lofty goals.

You don’t need to know your path to success beforehand, the right one shall manifest itself to you…at the right moment

It is not necessary to plan every step of the way, rather, the Source will provide the guidance necessary to achieve our end goal. In fact, if we keep asking ourselves how to reach our goals, we are asking the wrong question and will only have our desires pushed farther away from us. Instead, rely upon the Source to provide what you need to do to achieve success. Listen to your inner voice for the path to personal achievement.

Success is within each person’s grasp…

Reaching success in your life is not a far-fetched dream which only a few ever manage to get to, it is at the fingertips of each and every one of us, it is just our own sense of awareness that brings it to us or our lack of awareness that keeps it at arm’s length from us. Follow these few simple techniques to reach the heights of success that each of us is entitled to receive from our benevolent Creator.

“The health you attain, maintain, and sustain is dependent upon the strength of your connection with the benevolent One.”

Separation causes us great harm

We suffer physically, emotionally, and spiritually when we lose or weaken our most sacred connection; the connection to the benevolent Source. However, quantum physics helps us understand that when we change our focus we change our lives.

We are creators not spectators

We are responsible for what manifests in our lives and awareness of this fact brings change to our unpleasant present situation to a wonderful future; this is a cardinal rule of quantum physics.

Anxiety feasts upon our immune system

In the world we live in, we are witnessing immeasurable pressures which are threatening to tear the fabric of humanity apart. As this anxiety is leveled upon members of our society, it manifests attacks upon our immune systems which lead to a wide range of illnesses that ravage our bodies and minds alike.

Focus upon good health and not ill health

All too often, a sick person’s family, friends, and even medical doctors focus upon the illness which only gives the illness strength and fortifies the negative, unhealthy energy against the positive, healthy energy. For example, doctors commonly quote chances of survival from an illness and naturally, patients as well as those who surround the patient listen to the experts’ opinions and accept all prognostications.

Our bodies have natural defense systems in place

Still, our bodies and our minds cannot identify if a threat is real or imaginary. When we feed our minds and bodies messages of trepidation, consternation, and desperation the results are equal to the input; and when we feed our minds and bodies messages of calmness, happiness, and copiousness the results are equal to the input.

Input creates the same energy

However, there are no moral judgments made, our minds and bodies simply react accordingly to the input, whether real or unreal, since our physicality is inseparable from our spirituality. Rather than listening about the evils of sickness, we should be focusing upon the sacred connection that unites these two elements of our Self as a means to attain, maintain, and sustain wellness.

Healers connect the spiritual with the physical world

There are countless studies which have investigated healing and overwhelmingly, it appears that the results of these studies support what the ancients have been telling us all along; each and every one of us is connected by a sacred field or web of energy. At the heart of these various studies is that the healers, regardless if they represent organized religions, Eastern philosophies, or other traditional beliefs such as shamanism, connect the physical world with the spiritual world, the axis mundi, to visualize the ill person enjoying good health. The healer connects with the unwell person, achieves the same vibrational resonance, and resumes the blocked flow of energy which had caused the illness initially.

Our mind’s focus can heal our body

The results of these various studies clearly demonstrate that we are all connected to the identical field of energy and we are then able to heal and be healed by our minds and our focus. There is further proof in that the sacred connection can occur with the sick person in the same room or even more dramatically, from over far distances. Scientific research has proven that remote prayer has helped groups of AIDS patients and others with coronary dis-ease live longer lives.

There are alternatives to traditional medical practices

Once the medical community at large recognizes, accepts, and implements alternatives to the present forms of treatment now accepted by practitioners and patients alike, the sooner we can make huge leaps in correcting our unwell bodies and minds.

Make way for the ‘new medicine’

When this shift occurs, imagine how the ‘new medicine’ will be. The negatives that bombard us will be replaced by the positive. It will focus on reprogramming negative thoughts with positive thoughts; it will focus upon reprogramming negative beliefs with positive beliefs; and it will focus upon reprogramming negative actions with positive actions.

Prescriptions replaced with meditation

Rather than write yet another prescription for the latest wonder drug, medical doctors will write prescriptions to mediate daily, to read positive books, to talk about positive stories and experiences, to look at positive images, and to listen to positive news.

Your mind and body are one…and inseparable

Accept the notion that your mind and your body are inseparable, and as such, your mind controls your spiritual and physical Self. The amount of control you have over your Self is based solely upon the strength of your connection with the Source. Surround your Self with positive energy to live a healthy and happy life.

“Fulfillment occurs when you conquer your inner world; fulfillment does not occur when you conquer your outer world.”

photo-1416331108676-a22ccb276e35Material wealth doesn’t necessarily lead to happiness

In modern times, while we appear to have greater material wealth than in the past, these kinds of riches do not guarantee a greater sense of happiness, security, and fulfillment. You only need to look at the rate of suicide, substance abuse, and a myriad of forms of self-destructive behavior to understand that material wealth is not directly associated with spiritual wealth. This is not a promotion for Money is Bad – that is not my intention, rather, the love of material goods at the expense of your spirituality is the issue.

Does history repeat itself?

Even though we may face these tragedies in our world, humankind appears to be on a similar path which we witness from almost a century ago. In the 1920’s, eight of the richest financiers in the USA controlled a greater share of the countries’ money than the government.

Wealth can lead you down two paths

This powerful and wealthy group consisted of a Who’s Who from the time including presidents of banks, securities firms, and Wall Street as well as the President’s Cabinet member. While they were wealthy in the early part of the 20th century, within a mere two decades, these public figures suffered greatly: Leo Fraser committed suicide; Arthur Cutton died penniless; Charles Schwab died bankrupt; Jesse Livermore killed himself, Howard Hopson went insane; Richard Whitney a prisoner in Sing Sing Penitentiary, Ivar Krueger died a suicide; and Albert Fall earned early release from prison to die at home. In spite of their tremendous wealth, these men died either by than own hand or insolvent. While they clearly understood how to accumulate wealth, they did not understand how to live fulfilled.

Negativity manifests from disharmony

When we only focus upon material wealth…the demons of self-importance, self-indulgence, self-deprecation, and self-destruction can accompany us along the way. These negative thoughts can then result in disharmony and negative vibrations which do us physical as well as spiritual harm.

Positive vibrations manifest harmony

On the other hand, when you pursue loftier goals first, you are filled with self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-love which results in positive vibrations that support wellness in your physical and spiritual realms.

Conquer your spiritual world for true happiness and fulfillment

Conquering your physical world does not and will not provide the balance in your life which leads to lasting and joyous fulfillment. Conquering your spiritual world does and will provide the true balance in life which leads to lasting and joyous fulfillment.

“A strong connection to the Source allows you to enjoy the rollercoaster ride called life.”

photo-1433100325891-378af68b3b8eOur sacrosanct connection in life

Each of us has a sacrosanct connection to the Source which was formed at the moment of creation. This connection is not prejudiced by age, economics, gender, or education. This connection cannot be severed by time or distance; yet, it can be strengthened by one’s awareness and it can be weakened by one’s lack of awareness of this sacred gift from the Source.

Why do we have this sacred connection?

This connection manifested by and to our Creator helps us to navigate the positive and negative ordeals that we face in our lives as we make this earthly journey.

Why is our connection critical?

It is critical for contentment and achievement in life to understand the power of the connection between your Self and the Source. Consider a person who sets a tremendous goal and wants to achieve it, still, no matter how hard they try they just can’t reach that elusive goal. Most will force their goals upon themselves; they get on edge when things are not as they think they should be and then get even more concerned and more stressed.  However, there are two things to consider.

We achieve our goals by letting go

First, trying hard is not the answer. Feeling anxiety when you face your goals will not make your goals manifest quicker, in fact, they are pushed away from you due to the vibrational state that accompanies your feelings of apprehension. Rather than trying harder and becoming stressed about achieving your goal, the answer is letting go.

A positive state of vibration puts you on the path to achievement

While this strategy appears to be counterintuitive and therefore unproductive, nevertheless, when you let go and not try so hard you are in a positive state of vibration and this allows the universe to line-up all the things necessary to achieve your goal.

A natural state of synchronicity occurs naturally, it cannot be forced

At this time there develops a natural synchronicity with the Source, it is natural and it is not forced. You know when it feels right as everything in your life; your thoughts, your words, and your actions are in sync with the universe, and hence, the Source. A relaxed state of closeness, with the One occurs on a purely spiritual level and not on a physical level which simply cannot be made to happen, it must transpire naturally.

Success runs on universal time…not human time

Second, you can create, develop, and maintain a strong connection to and with the Source when you fully comprehend and fully accept that it is not on earthly time that we achieve what we perceive. Rather, it is upon cosmic timelessness that we perceive and achieve our goals. In order to extend and preserve our sacred connection with the Source, we must open our hearts and our minds to accept the delays that are often accompanied with the results we gain in our lives.

We are creators…not spectators in this life

Quantum physics indicates to us that we are creators and not just spectators within the universe. As such, all things large and small are connected to the Source.  And all things large and small are governed by the Natural Law of cosmic timelessness…there is no getting around this fact regardless of celebrity, gender, education, or location. If this were not so, it would be a complete contradiction of the benevolent Source, where each and every one has equal access to the knowledge of the universe and hence to receive their goals on the timetable of cosmic timelessness.

Express gratitude regardless of the outcome

Since we perceive and achieve our goals in life on cosmic timelessness, it is equally important to express gratitude for all the things, good or bad, that occur in our life. A constant sense of thankfulness for whatever you have and are at the moment enhances your positive vibrations while at the same time it releases your negative vibrations.

Joy is derived from our spiritual connection with the Source, not from our material goods

The Source offers both your goals and your solutions in your life. It is the strength of your connection with the Source that helps you to understand why things happen and why they do not happen. Bumps and bruises along the way make the journey that more enjoyable after conquering the obstacles. In the end, we should gauge our happiness, wellbeing, and success in life by the strength of our spiritual connection with the Source and not our physical manifestations.

“Big goals do not manifest from small efforts.”

photo-1456694441711-af0ab2d64c96Become aware of the Natural Laws

Some would have you believe that achieving a tremendous goal in your life is accomplished by merely sitting back and waiting until everything that is required to achieve the goal aligns between and amongst themselves to then simply manifest before your eyes. While this sounds very compelling to those who lack awareness, it is less intriguing to those who are aware of the Natural Laws of the universe and furthermore, it is somewhat of a simplistic view of the true workings of the universe.

Harnessing the Natural Laws for success

Now, this is not to say that you must work hard and sacrifice your physical health and your spiritual Self to achieve a goal. Far from it, rather, manifesting your goal is about harnessing the Natural Laws to work for you as you work with the Laws. Thus, we witness a symbiotic relationship occurring with both parties benefiting from the interface of our goals with the benevolent Source instead of a one-sided relationship where we receive everything and contribute nothing to achieve what is offered freely from the Source.

Change your present to change your future

It is important to fully comprehend the process of goal achieving or we simply repeat what we have done in the past and naturally, since our attempts failed in the past then they certainly will fail again in the future if nothing changes. First, even though it may seem to be contradictory to common sense, you should plan big goals to achieve the success that you want to reach and the success that is freely provided by the Source.

Focus upon BIG goals, ones that you don’t know how to achieve

When you plan your goal, if you know how to achieve that goal at the moment that you set it, then it is far too small of a goal. You are clearly underachieving with this stratagem as you are freely admitting that your outer world is ruling your inner world. This is playing it safe, however, do not be afraid of setting tremendous goals; set them and have full confidence in the unerring laws of the universe to manifest your goals.

Why do you need to accomplish your goal?

Second, it is critical for success to focus upon the solution and not focus upon the problem. When approaching goal setting from a state of want, this will only keep the want in the present and future since you are in a state of lack and not in a state of abundance. Instead, it is key to wrap your mind around the idea of not only focusing upon what you want, but, why you need it. For example, rather than focus upon only the need to earn a specific monthly amount of money (the problem), focus upon your family enjoying a nice home or having an extended vacation at a very nice tropical setting (the solution).

Your focus determines your achievements

And there are other examples to apply which have you refocus upon the why and not only the want: you want to start you own business since you are afraid of being fired from your present job vs. you start you own business and enjoy more family time and your children can attend and graduate from a good college. With the proper focus, you are attracting the goal to you and not repelling it from you. And one last thing to consider, do not wait until you achieve your goal before you believe…believe it first in order to achieve it.

Faith and belief creates peace along your path to success

Third, once you have the faith and belief to set that tremendous goal, it is now imperative to relax, with meditation and visualization sessions, and wait until the means to achieve your goal is provided to you by the benevolent Source.

Listen to your inner voice

Take time to be still, to shut-out the noise around you and to get in touch with the deepest part of your Self. You will not be disappointed; however, you must be patient and not become anxious or nervous if the answer does not immediately become apparent to you.

Action follows after you discovered your plan

Still, once you have heard the plan how to achieve your goal from the Source, you must act upon it immediately. Take time to write-up a plan of action and then work at it and not half-heartedly. Even though the Source will provide the path to your goal, you must not sit by idly and wait until the goal comes to you, you must take the initiative to take those steps needed to achieve your final goal.

BIG thinking and action manifest results

At the end of the day, it is easy to understand that a big effort is no more than big thinking; it has been said that achieving a small goal takes just as much energy as it takes to achieve a big goal. The Source will provide all that is required to achieve what you can perceive, still, if you make a half-hearted effort the result will be far less than what you can achieve. Face your life with a think big attitude and you will be surprised where that road takes you.

“True happiness manifests from negotiation with your Self; true happiness does not manifest from competition with others.”

The new mentality

The new mentality appears to be one where a person must win at all costs and without any regard for ethics or the wrongdoings to humankind or the environment. The media plays this one up where you are Number 1 when you beat the competition down and stand like a triumphant gladiator over a bloodied opponent in the Roman Coliseum. However, this selfish; ME at all cost attitude, can only produce ephemeral happiness and not true happiness which is sustained over a person’s lifetime.

photo-1462040015891-7c792246b10eAre you living your life by negotiation or competition?

A person can live their life through negotiation or competition: the former being in a positive state of vibration while the latter in a negative state of vibration. In a competitive mindset, a person always must outdo their colleagues, their neighbors, their own family members. The act of beating another person is tied to and reflected by the winner’s perception of self-worth: they rationalize if I can own bigger, costlier, and rarer objects than you, then I am worth more to my Self and worth more than your Self.

Your self-esteem can be battered or bolstered

So, when you discover that a friend or colleague has a smaller house, your esteem soars but when you find a friend or colleague with a bigger house your self-esteem takes a dive. And that goes for the model of your car, your watch, your vacations, and any of your earthly possessions. When you base your life and your self-worth upon material goods, you’ll never have the biggest, best, or brightest toy.

Negotiation manifests a higher sense of awareness

True happiness comes when you are constantly in negotiation with your Self. Negotiation focuses upon the awareness of your thoughts, words, and actions at the very moment. As you monitor your thoughts, words, and actions along the Continuum of Awareness, you are striving to be the best you can and the best for humankind. You negotiate your current state of mind to be in a higher state of awareness.

Set aside your ego to attain your goals

You set aside your ego to attain your goals with your life’s journey while encapsulating faith, gratitude, compassion, and ethics. You fully understand that your results occur within cosmic timelessness. You place your faith and belief in the Source to align all the circumstances, persons, and objects that are required to achieve your goal and ultimately your happiness.

How to create positive energy

Your thoughts create the flow of positive energy which effortlessly manifests goals for you, hence, no worry, no fear, no envy, no jealousy, no competition.

Material possessions are temporary, your soul is permanent

In the end, no matter how many material possessions you accumulate in your life, you will not have a minute longer on Earth, you will not be better than anyone else, and you will not have greater happiness. The noted French philosopher Voltaire wrote ‘Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.’ You can instantly achieve the dizzying heights of an eagle and be free of negative thoughts and negative vibrations when you make the decision to be in constant negotiation with your Self and not to be in constant competition with others.

“Thoughts are things; things that are offered freely, directly, and solely to us from the Source.”

thoughtsCosmic timelessness and thoughts

Since that single moment of cosmic timelessness, the Source has created millions upon millions of different and exotic creatures throughout our earthly home. In the process of creating this multitude of life forms, humankind stands out as one given a truly miraculous gift – thought. While we are granted thought from a benevolent Creator, most do not understand or believe in the power and the application of thought to receive what is freely, directly, and solely offered to us by the Source.

How can we receive our sacred gift?

In order to receive this gift from the Source, you must separate the purity of spiritual thought from the white noise of physical thought. That is to say, the sacred abounds in thoughts of love, faith, gratitude and compassion while the secular abounds in thoughts of jealousy, envy, greed, and fear.

Thoughts and achievement

The benefit of thought comes freely from the Source. Regardless of our age, location, gender, or education – we all have an equal opportunity to freely receive and openly act upon thought. Science has identified a universal web or net of energy which we can all tap into to achieve our desires, hence, the Creator provides both the thought and the means to achieve the thought. However, it is not idle thought, it is clear and specific thought of what we want which leads us on the path to achieve that which we truly desire.

Don’t let others control your thoughts

Even though we have the best of intentions to apply our thoughts to achieve our goals, all too often we allow others to stop our thoughts before they even begin to grow. Still, abundance permeates the universe – it is a Law. There is no limit to what we can freely receive from the Source except the limitations we place upon the Law. We simply do not know what heights we can achieve until we attempt to achieve them.

How do we receive thoughts?

Since the Source is in, around, and of us, we directly receive our thoughts from the One. All you need to do is sit quietly and listen to your lungs expelling your warm breath and your heart pumping your pure blood to comprehend this miracle and as your body functions independently of you, you begin to hear the inner music that is playing within your soul.

Does our DNA contain divinity?

Perhaps, the divine arrangement is nestled away in our DNA; what more efficient and effective place to harbor the sacred connection with the universe than within each and every cell of our earthly bodies. The answers to our most sacred thoughts are stored deep within each and every one of us…we only need to accept what is directly sent to us and through us from the benevolent Source.

Our thoughts make us unique

At this point in time, science suggests that humankind is the only creature on earth that has benefited from the thoughts that are provided to us and for us from the Source. Since each of us has the ability to share concepts, ideas, and messages with others of our species, surely, the main purpose of the gift is to endorse and promote the greatness of the Source.

Share our gift with others or live with limitations?

However, although we are given this special and sacred gift, we also have the choice to live a spiritual life and pass along the divine message that exists and permeates universal timelessness or to close our minds and our hearts and live a life bound by earthly limitations.

Accept our most prized possession

We need to accept and express our thoughts with great care since we are the recipients chosen to freely, directly, and solely receive the most prized of possessions throughout the universe. At the end of the day, use your gift wisely to express gratitude to the originator of all thought.

“You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the ocean, hence, you have the power of the ocean to manifest your dreams, your desires, your destiny.”

oceanaJust a drop in the ocean?

There are those who believe within their very soul that they are merely a singular drop in the ocean of life. And since they are just one of the billions upon billions of nameless souls being carried this way and that by the tides and currents, feel they are inconsequential in the overall scheme of the universe.

A sacred connection exists

Little do they realize that our benevolent Source has created a sacred connection between everything and everyone within this ocean of life. As such, they possess the means to participate in the creation of their dreams, their desires, and their destiny.

The inseparable becomes the separable

The qualities of the entire ocean are bound within each single drop regardless of its size, origin, or location. It must be so since every drop consists of the same elements as the collective, and if the ocean is divine, so must the drops of the ocean be divine. The sacred divinity of the whole knows only connection, not separation. However, when we lack faith and belief in this divinity, the inseparable becomes separable.

Divinity exists within every drop in the ocean

There is a divine connection that permeates every corner of the universe. It is our feelings and our thoughts that interface with this divinity that manifest our wants and needs. We must acknowledge that it is our feelings and our thoughts and only our feelings and our thoughts of gratitude, faith, belief, and plenty that sets the universal good in motion to create our wants and needs. Since our feelings and our thoughts are congruous with our desires, we receive the good from the Source.

A wedge between our sacred connection

We must also acknowledge that it is our feelings and our thoughts and only our feelings and our thoughts of fear, envy, jealousy, and envy that drive a wedge into this sacred connection. Since our feelings and our thoughts are incongruous with our desires, we cannot receive the good from the Source.

Reality manifests from your sacred connection

The wise ancients wrote of a sacrosanct connection in life and the numinous power that awaits each one who bears unwavering faith. There is unlimited universal power that resonates throughout this sacred connection and it supports a fulfilled life of accomplishment for each and every person; this is the natural right of humankind. Still, our modern-day world has a misconception of the connection that in the end, was, is, and will be the way to a divine life. The Source would not provide each and every one of us with our own unique dreams, desires, and destiny if these were not accompanied by the means of achievement. Believe unquestionably in the power of the ultimate connection between each drop within the ocean of life to manifest your highest reality.

“We are the integral pieces of a miraculous universal jigsaw puzzle, assembled by the Source and sustained by the Natural Laws.”

moonEverything created out of nothing

In a moment, the Source created the most miraculous jigsaw puzzle known to humankind along with the glue to hold the miracle together throughout cosmic timelessness. In an instant before where matter, energy, and space did not exist; matter, energy, and space were created simultaneously by an intelligent entity outside of this realm of existence. Hence, a good number of today’s scientific community believes with a degree of certainty in the ‘creatio ex nihilio’ from a Creator who is not composed of comprehensible matter or space.

Precise Natural Laws

Let’s first examine a number of current scientific ideas which illustrate the presence and omnipotence of the Source and then the influence the benevolent Creator has upon the past, present, and future of humankind itself. Running parallel to the creation of the universe is the creation of the Natural Laws which are precise; in fact, they are so precise that there is little range between existence and extinction.

The perfect level of precision  for the universe to manifest

Scientific evidence supports the premise that the universe was created about 13.7 billion years ago and hence, brought about the fundamental laws of physics. At that moment, the universe could have been created or destroyed depending upon the rate of expansion. If the expanding energy was too slow, it would implode back into itself and if it was too fast, the universe would be ripped apart. The Source provided the perfect balance between being too slow and too fast which scientists have estimated at 10 to the power of 120…yes, place a decimal point and 120 zeroes after it to realize the level of precision required to create our universe.

Life exists due to exactness and not variance

When considering our creation, we should also consider the influence of the relative distance between our Earth and the Sun, the Moon, and the other planets. If the Sun was too far away, we would experience the freezing conditions found on Uranus and if to close we experience the extreme heat found on Mercury and life would not exist. If the Moon was not at the precise distance that it is, it would crash into us. If our atmosphere was not just the correct combination of elements, if the tilt of the Earth altered, if our rotation was slower or faster, if our orbit was longer or shorter; or if our magnetic field differed – we would not exist today.

Albert Einstein’s view on our Creator

When we consider all the ifs it takes to create and sustain life on our terrestrial home, it is of little wonder that Albert Einstein wrote in his book, The World as I See It of the possibility of a supreme intelligence which is far superior to any description we may comprehend of the Creator. The fact that we exist is a miracle in and of itself and we exist with the choice to practice or ignore our spirituality and acknowledge the Creator of our universe, Self, and our lives.
