			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sadly there are still many professionals and other people who are sceptical of extrasensory perception. They misunderstand others who use ESP openly when mind reading or even expressing clairvoyant abilities. And clearly there is still a lack of knowledge and understanding in this field.</p>
<p>All humans have had an ESP experience some or other time and are really not an unfamiliar practice. We have all used the term such as I have a strong gut feeling, or my sixth sense tell me not to do this etc. The sixth sense is a natural warning &#8220;survival&#8221; mechanism. And believe it or not every living creature on the planet shares has this ability in one way or another.</p>
<p>Scientists have been trying to pinpoint the source of extrasensory perception even parapsychologists have been doing the ganzfeld experiment trying to provide hard evidence that ESP exists. Again scientists do not accept due to lack of a theory which would explain extrasensory perception as well as the lack of experimental techniques supplying reliable evidence.</p>
<p>Within many ancient cultures as well as indigenous people extrasensory perceptions has been noted as common practice and still exists in modern day times whereby there is communication with their ancestors as well as spirits and these people have been termed as having the second sight which in ancient times were termed witches and were persecuted or burned.</p>
<p>Much later did scientists as well as many other professionals begin to devise solid techniques such as designing cards that has significant symbols like squares, circles, stars, waves, crosses and circle patterns on then and made up a pack of twenty five cards called Zener Cards?</p>
<p>The test ran as follows whereby the psychologist or researcher would look as say 4 cards, and the person being tested would in turn tell the researcher what cards they had in their hand. The cards were shuffled by hand as well as a machine to make sure there was no specified order in which the cards were laid out. Later a dice was also used, and both methods proved better than chance. Eventually after many years of research extrasensory perception became accepted. This then led scientists to start investigating into the unconscious mental processes which would eventually lead them to understanding the human personality.</p>
<p>Further studies took place like REM sleep and meditation as well as hypnosis which in later years and more recent years has proved very effective. It was also noted that people that knew that extrasensory perception was factual scored well on the tests given to them as opposed to those sceptics and the two groups were categorized as the believer being sheep and the non believer being goats. This method is still used today.</p>
<p>In modern day this is now accepted as the norm and extrasensory perception is termed as parapsychology and making certain types of psychic phenomena such as astral projection and telepathy as well as telekinesis a standard phenomena accepted by science as well as these being accepted as spontaneous occurrences. It was also found that these experiences were not able to be controlled or replicated in any way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who has had a workspace that isn&#8217;t properly set-up knows that choosing the right office furniture aids in doing a good job. Many today spend us much time in their office as at home, if working from home want to move from the dining room table to a space that is more suitable for professional work.</p>
<p>When considering expanding, moving, or just replacing what one has already, a list often aids in conceptualizing the project. Note what is necessary and what is optional. Size is also important, so draft a layout of where pieces will go to insure each will fit.</p>
<p>Remember, if all the furniture fits into a room without walking space, the environment may not feel comfortable. Moreover, if outside clients come to this office, is there sufficient room for a wheelchair to turn around?</p>
<p>Also consider durability. Are the pieces well made? Is the material something that will last? Is it easily cleanable?</p>
<p>Specialists will also have needs quite unlike one another. A corporation is likely to find more of a need for modular options. A health care professional will need exam tables and cabinets built for instruments.</p>
<p>Filling a room creatively can expand it. Shelves on the wall, rather than the floor, opens up some possibilities. A mirror may also create a sense of more room.</p>
<p>Take care when picking out a room&#8217;s objects. What the budget is gives an overall sense of what is available to spend. However, if some choices are priced high, compromises may be need on others.</p>
<p>Used, refurbished, wholesale, and retail outlets offer a range of shopping choices. This may not matter if one is looking for one or two replacement chairs. If the goal is to furnish a large corporation, however, negotiating a better price is frequently possible. Buying matched pieces manufactured by a specific company helps with this approach.</p>
<p>The increase in technological tools and repetitive tasks has make workers more aware of ergonomic options. These are designed with both health and efficiency in mind. The slightly higher cost is likely less than the medical bills that can arise due to back pain or carpal tunnel.</p>
<p>The increase ergonomic solutions has also made many aware of the need to study how work is done. Standing is now know to facilitate thinking in some situations. It is fascinating to think about this in light of creative people who prefer to stand when working. Philip Roth, for instance, like to stand at a lectern when writing his novels.</p>
<p>Recent innovations provide a range of choices that keep both health and the need to exercise in mind, such as adjustable stand-sit desks, standing desks, and walk-stations. With a walk-station, a treadmill is included.</p>
<p>Choosing good office furniture allows this part of a working environment to aid the person using it. Today there are many options. If one is setting up a space or adding to what one already has, one can keep health, safety, and functionality in mind. Moreover, all of this is possible without compromising the aesthetics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can almost hear the wedding bells ringing on your ears. Indeed, the wedding is near. As you check your list, you see that every detail is ready but how about the function band? Did you consider hiring a band to perk up the quality of the event? Even if you may say that is not a necessity, you have the need to still hire one especially if you still have the cash to spare since live music for sure will brighten up the occasion.</p>
<p>If you look around, you will see that there are many bands out there hence looking for that perfect band is quite easy. But there is a must for you to ensure that you are going for a reliable band. Remember that many people can sing and play the instruments but only a few of them can actually entertain the people. So you can be guided well with the process, this article will tackle about the ways which will ensure you of having the best band possible.</p>
<p>Above anything else, think about the average age of your guests and mull over the kind of music which they may seem to be interested in. So you can be safe, it is always critical that you spend some of your time in looking at the function bands repertoire so you can rightly assess whether they can productively accommodate the tastes in music of all of your guests. You should look for a band that can play different musical styles because they will not just entertain the audience well but you can actually save a big deal of your cash from hiring one band instead of going for a couple more just to accommodate the different genre of music that your guests are interested to listen to.</p>
<p>To rightly review the function band, you can ask about their live video or audio recording. This will give you a background on how efficient they really are. After all, you would like to get the entertainment aspect right to leave a lasting impression among your guests.</p>
<p>On the other hand, be sure to book early! You are not the only person who will celebrate your big celebration during such year. Do you know that good bands are even booked a year ahead so you may want to make sure that you get to hire the band first?</p>
<p>You should be aware that a good function band is unlikely to be cheap, and you should also be prepared to give 20-50% deposit in advance since most of them would require this.</p>
<p>It is important as well to research the size of the place where you are going to hold the event! Bear in mind that the size of your venue will be a factor in deciding the type of function band to have.</p>
<p>In case you are going to hold the event on a hotel, most of them would require public liability insurance as well as PAT tested equipment. So you can be safe, always confirm with the wedding band that they can supply all the needed papers to play. Checking whether they have the necessary paperwork is a good indication of their quality.</p>
<p>Also, never book a wedding function band without talking with them face-to-face. Even though sending them an email is more convenient, you should make it a point to talk with them personally to assess them properly.</p>
<p>For a great party or function you can visit the live music, wedding party hire bands information website at http://www.souldesire.co.uk. Knowing about <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.themodelboat.com/goto/Hertfordshire_Wedding_Bands/562/1">Hertfordshire Wedding Bands</a> will make sure your event is wonderful.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People are starting to understand more than ever the benefits of the cosmic ordering. The only thing you really have to do is ask the universe for what you desire. Celebrities of all kinds have credited cosmic ordering for their stardom.</p>
<p>It is true that many people do attain what they really want, but why doesn&#8217;t this work for everyone, what goes wrong? Are there secrets to the people succeeding, that the ones that don&#8217;t succeed need to know? Do these services for cosmic ordering actually exist?</p>
<p>Have you ever objected to someone besides you winning the special prize or getting their well-deserved promotion? By being this way you send out an order to the universe for defeat. Disdain and envy towards the successes that others have, shows that you think that you aren&#8217;t capable of believing you can succeed, and orders you a dose of poverty and misery.</p>
<p>Think about the last time you ate out at a good restaurant. How do you react when you view another person having a delicious dish for their dinner? You usually don&#8217;t get upset, you turn around and have the same dish brought to you instead! You are wishing the other people enjoy their meal,and you are delighted for them.</p>
<p>Now if you can do that, why can&#8217;t you also be glad for someone else&#8217;s good fortune? By delighting in others&#8217; successes you show that you know that you can succeed too. But if you get angry, disappointed, or bitter you show the universe that you believe you will fail getting what you want. This is when you do an order to not succeed.</p>
<p>The flock of spiritual believers say that you can receive many blessings by just praying, but this type of belief needs to be closer examined to see how it works in with doing a cosmic order. Now the scientists have made the discovery that quantum physics is quite a bit similar to that of the beliefs that spiritual belief system, and this proves that spirituality is true.</p>
<p>This all is made credible by one applying the energy of their mind. You should not think that this contradicts religious beliefs, this is actually proof that the beliefs are true.</p>
<p>If you are attempting this by just doing the positive affirmations, you can run into roadblocks along the way. Your past bad luck or situations can deter this new hopeful attitude you wish to have, and this can do away with all the good headway you were making. You have to understand that while positive thinking is successful, that it also takes awhile to rid yourself of your old negative views.</p>
<p>Are there actual secrets to cosmic ordering? You need to sweep out the dark recesses of your mind prior to being able to begin the process of getting your dreams to become reality. You need to wipe the slate clean, and accept the idea that you are entitled to attain from the universe all you desire wealth and happiness wise.</p>
<p>There are numerous ways that will assist you cleaning out the negative thoughts. The same way that the vacuum sweepers help us clean our carpets much better than any toothbrush would, the same is so with the modern methods today are more thorough at conditioning the mind to adapt to a new way of thinking about what you desire in life.</p>
<p>There are methods such as binaural frequency waves, subliminal affirmations, and self-hypnosis to assist you with your journey to get the things you want. These modern methods accelerate the process of you doing away with your old way of negative thinking, and this will enable many things to come into your life. With the help of your brain you can learn the secrets to cosmic ordering, now your brain at times wants to keep you from having success, but with practice you don&#8217;t have to let this happen.</p>
<p>Human beings for the most part are not comfortable when things change. Your brain likes things to stay the same and will argue with you, so you have to be sure about having what you want! This is where you can use the system for cosmic ordering to change things. It is able to change the place you are in right now, due to the fact that the universe thinks you deserve more.</p>
<p>Anyone can have whatever their hearts desire through using the service for cosmic ordering. Just be sure to order what you truly want, and help the order get filled by truly believing it will.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;Mental telepathy&#8217; can be a broad term that encompasses numerous things. It typically means reading the thoughts between people without using normal senses. There is a huge difference however between having an intuitive gut feeling and knowing information that could only be gathered by reading somebody&#8217;s mind. Both basic and complex skills can be construed as mental telepathy. The different levels of mental telepathy are summarized in this article.</p>
<p>NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION</p>
<p>Whenever two people communicate without speaking, using body language or facial expressions instead, it is considered non-verbal communication or kinesics. Some people are able to communicate simple messages while others are able to communicate entire conversations using kinesics. You may have experienced this when giving looks to a cohort in a secret plan of action. Achieved easiest and most accurately between people who know each other well, kinesics involves knowing what the other person is thinking by non-verbal gestures or kinesics.</p>
<p>Most people do not regard this form of communication as mental telepathy since here communication is through senses and not just with sounds. Theoretically, this argument holds good. However, we cannot disregard the role of mental telepathy here. The very observation that this kind of non verbal communication is most effective in people who are intimate with each other or know each other well tells us that the minds of these people are more in synch with each other. However, skeptics may argue that this communication is merely effective because people who know each other well understand each other&#8217;s body language well or have previously developed a mode of non verbal communication.</p>
<p>EMOTIONAL TELEPATHY:</p>
<p>When you can understand and perceive the emotional state of the other person, then this ability is known as empathy. Many people can do this well and many cant because the ability to put your self in somebody else&#8217;s shoes is not inherent. However one can develop empathy with preparation and observation. This fact can be seen in actors who can not only emulate the emotional states of others but also enhance their empathy so much that they can laugh and cry exactly like the other person.</p>
<p>Sympathetic pain or truly feeling the pain of the other person is often experienced by many. This can be particularly prevalent in mothers who even develop a fever when their children are sick. There are times when close friends or relatives actually feel the pain whether it&#8217;s emotional or physical or even mental of the other person. Then there is something known as long distance empathy which all of us have known and experienced at one time or the other. This happens when some one real close to us has problem or gets hurt or even is in danger and is somewhere else and we feel their pain and emotion.</p>
<p>Overactive imagination has been blamed by some psychologists and they feel other senses are being used, so it doesn&#8217;t count as mental telepathy. How would you explain the phenomena of long-distance empathy, when you are not in proximity to the person? This might explain the feelings experienced if you have sympathetic pain after seeing your child break his arm, however.</p>
<p>CONCRETE CONCEPTS:</p>
<p>There is another kind of telepathy which involves sending and receiving concrete symbols and objects between two people. Here advanced mental telepathy is involved and it is a phenomena outside the five senses. This kind of mental telepathy involves a lot of training, concentration and practice. There is a receiver and a sender involved in this.</p>
<p>Here the principle is that simpler concepts are easily communicated. For instance an animal is more difficult to communicate than a shape or color.</p>
<p>Zener cards often used in mental telepathy test are an example of this principle. Simple, concrete black-and-white symbols (a circle, square, star, plus sign, and three wavy lines), gives even a random guess a 20% chance of being right. On the other hand, a shared, known, limited set of concrete symbols may increase the coordination of the thoughts between sender and receiver. A success rate of 50% or higher (which have happened) can not be explained away by simple statistics, but may indicate a level of mental telepathy, instead.</p>
<p>ABSTRACT CONCEPTS</p>
<p>Mental telepathy at this level goes beyond simple colors and shapes to more abstract concepts like ideas, actions, or values. It is rare and difficult for telepaths to achieve this level, and experiments have shown that they have a lower success rate.</p>
<p>Some animals appear to communicate, and science is not able to explain how. Telepathy shouldn&#8217;t be ruled out. At this level, such animals would be using abstract concepts, albeit very basic concepts. Due to the nature of animal brains lacking prefrontal lobes, such ideas would probably not go beyond simplistic impulses like &#8216;hungry&#8217;, &#8216;thirsty&#8217;, &#8216;horny&#8217;, or &#8216;danger!&#8217;</p>
<p>There is a theory that humans were once capable of telepathy, but lost it as the species evolved and developed language. If this is true, then with the right stimulation humans should be able to &#8216;relearn&#8217; this dormant ability.</p>
<p>Other scientists believe however that telepathy and other esp and psychic powers are in fact the &#8216;future&#8217; for mankind. And if enough people can develop these powers, theoretically all humans in the future could become telepathic.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Buyer Beware - Using Power Factor Correction and Transient Voltage Surge Suppression to Reduce Energy Costs.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buyer Beware &#8211; Using Power Factor Correction and Transient Voltage Surge Suppression to Reduce Energy Costs.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s energy conscious climate has motivated many to do what they can to become more efficient and conserve energy and money. Unfortunately this same climate has prompted others to take advantage of unsuspecting consumers&#8217; wishes to save energy and reduce expenses.</p>
<p>Companies that tout power factor improvement (kVAR correction) and transient voltage suppression are a good example of this bad trend. Lately we are seeing more and more of these companies cropping up and feel it is time to set the record straight.</p>
<p>First, transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) plays a valuable role in improving power quality to protect sensitive equipment inside a facility. However, TVSS does not save energy. TVSS&#8217;s are only active a tiny fraction of a second to protect against voltage surges which only last for less than a millisecond. To actually reduce energy consumption the TVSS would need to actually cut power consumption for an extended period of time which is not what they are designed to do. Again, TVSS is important to protect sensitive electrical equipment but buyers should avoid vendors promising, or even guaranteeing, that they will reduce energy consumption.</p>
<p>Now what about vendors who claim that improving power factor will save 15% or 20% or 30% of energy consumption and corresponding cost? This one is a little trickier.</p>
<p>For residential applications, power factor does nothing to save energy because the typical home already has an average power factor of about 0.97 which is almost the perfect power factor of 1 or unity. In addition, the device (called a capacitor) is placed at the main circuit breaker. According to IEEE 5.5.3.3 capacitors must be situated at or near the respective inductive loads to reduce power system losses by reducing heat and distribution losses known as I2R losses.</p>
<p>So what about commercial and industrial facilities using power factor correction to reduce energy costs? It is perfectly appropriate for a company that is incurring penalties or a kVA billing structure from the utility company to improve the facility&#8217;s overall power factor by employing a capacitor bank at the main service entrance or individual capacitors at or near the respective motor loads. Doing so will eliminate the power factor penalties and/or reduce the kVA demand charges on the utility bill which can save significant money and provide a significant ROI on the investment.</p>
<p>But what about power factor correction reducing kWh consumption? IEEE also tells us that I2R losses only account for 2 to 5% of the total load in a facility. Simple math tells us that it would be against the laws of physics to get the 15% to 30% energy reduction claimed by some vendors. Think about it. Even if your facility had 5% distribution losses and you could correct 100% of the problem via power factor correction at every load (which can&#8217;t be done) you would still only save 5% at the most. No where near the claims of some capacitor vendors and manufacturers.</p>
<p>All that said, power factor correction when done properly will eliminate utility penalties and kVA demand charges, improve facility power quality, increase electrical system capacity, and save a little energy when applied to the appropriate motor loads.</p>
<p>So make an investment in transient voltage surge suppression and power factor correction when appropriate and necessary. But caveat emptor!</p>

It is a natural ability, but you have to fine tune it. You need to perfect the skill and work with it to achieve success.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are new to astral projecting you will need to come to a deeper understanding of the process and to work through challenges before you can be successful. One of the first things you have to understand is that everyone has the ability to astral project. It is not a special ability or even something new that you have to learn. It is a natural ability, but you have to fine tune it. You need to perfect the skill and work with it to achieve success. It can be compared to riding a bike because even if you have not done it in a while, you still have the skill and can get started again with a little practice.</p>
<p>Relaxation is a common issue when it comes to astral projection. In order to be successful you have to relax your mind and body. You need to practice relaxation and there are techniques that you can use to relax your mind and body. These techniques include relaxation for muscles and special breathing exercises.</p>
<p>To make relaxation easier, it always helps to make your environment relaxing. This lets you have a smoother transition to relaxation. A relaxing environment just makes the preparation process for astral projection easier. Here are some tips that you can use when you are getting yourself and your environment ready.</p>
<p>*Be aware of what you are wearing. Try to wear items that are not constricting and that will not distract you. Remove jewelry since it can be distracting.</p>
<p>*A darkened room helps when you are preparing to astral project. Turn off harsh lighting and use minimal lighting so that when you close your eyes it is pitch black.</p>
<p>*Figure out what direction is north before starting. You want to position the room so that you can comfortably lie with your head to the north and your feet tot he south. Watch the sun if you need help. The sun rises in the east and sets in the south.</p>
<p>*Temperature is important. Make sure that your clothes do not make you too hot or too cold. You should also adjust the temperature of the room if you can so that it is comfortable.</p>
<p>*The room that you will be in should be quiet and free from distractions. Make sure that during the time you are practicing astral projection that you will not have a lot of noise or other distractions.</p>
<p>*You can now move to relaxation where you will use the relaxation techniques that you have chosen to completely relax.</p>
<p>*Your session should begin with mental suggestions. These suggestions should enable you to remember what happens when you are astral projecting. Keep a pen and paper nearby so you can record your thoughts when you are finished. Whatever you remember can be helpful, so tell yourself that you will remember.</p>
<p>*Focus on proper breathing techniques the whole session.</p>
<p>*Direct your gaze to a point of darkness directly a head of your eyes.</p>
<p>*Move your focus to about a foot away and then to six feet away. Focus on this point and ensure that you focus first a foot away and then six feet away.</p>
<p>*It is time now to change your point to a ninety degree angle up from your body. Keep this point in your head and continue to relax.</p>
<p>Using these tips will help you get ready for the astral projection process. You should be aware that you need to be mentally in control of what is happening. You cannot go out of your body through astral projection without proper control. You will simply bounce around the astral planes without any control. You want control so you can go where you want and do what you want to do.</p>
<p>It is possible through astral projection to talk to loved ones that have passed. You may be able to do things that you cannot do in real life. Physical limitations seem to be removed. Chances are you have already done astral projection, but just do not remember it since you did not control it. Many dreams are actually astral projection. Now you can do it on purpose and you can have control.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Consider the benefits of a distance learning education: keep working and getting paid, forget a fixed class attendance schedule, and have the flexibility of studying when it&#8217;s convenient for you. It is obvious that most students striving for an online degree seem to have the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>However, even learning online is not perfect and it comes with alot of challenges. It requires a lot of discipline to stay on task and keep personal priorities straight. As a learner, you must be intrinsically motivated to succeed. Without the in-class interaction between peers and the professor, it is more difficult to keep focused on the ultimate goal.</p>
<p>Therefore, how can distance learning students then overcome this challenge? One habit that a student must adopt is good time management. There is only 24 hours in a day and it is up to us to utilize our time in the best way possible. Set up a daily or weekly plan for yourself and ensure that you set aside time for your studies daily. If you have a family, let them know about your schedule so that they know when you should not be disturbed. Divide your time appropriately between your work, your family and your studies. Of course, discipline is important here as any schedule will not do any good if it is not followed.</p>
<p>Another important aspect of a distance learning education is to stay in touch with classmates and instructors through email, instant messenger(IM), college discussion boards or Internet calling. Discuss projects and assignments with peers who can help you stay focused by holding you accountable, and providing motivation and encouragement whenever needed.</p>
<p>In addition to peer contact, rewarding personal education goals is an excellent way to stay motivated and succeed in obtaining the distance learning education that you need. Write particular course milestones on a calendar, and then celebrate the achievement. For example, after completing a major project, do something nice for yourself. Then, cross out each accomplishment. With a sense of personal satisfaction, it will keep you motivated to face the next educational hurdle.</p>
<p>Finally, make sure to have a quiet, undisturbed place to study. It is extremely easy to be distracted by the television, a ringing phone, or normal family activities in the household. If necessary, lock yourself in a quiet room equipped with a comfortable chair, a good desk or table, and ample space to create a productive learning environment.</p>
<p>Although distance learning is a great and effective learning concept, much of its effectiveness is dependent on the habits and determination of the individual. The full advantages of distance learning can only be gained through hard work, discipline and determination for success.</p>
