The Obama administration recently passed dozens of major  regulations   including the far-reaching changes on healthcare, consumer protections and environmental safety. All of these newly passed regulations could quickly be undone with Donald Trump’s signature. There is a seldom used law that dates back to 1996 which makes this possible. There is a kicker to the rule as well, if the law is used to strike down a rule, the federal agency that issued the rule is barred from enacting similar regulation in the future. The obscure law, which could erase dozens of Obama regulations, is called the Congressional Review Act. It was passed 20 years ago with help from Newt Gingrich who was the House Speaker at the time, and now is now a part of Trump’s transition team. Congress will have 60 legislative days to review and override major   regulations   enacted by federal agencies. The vote would not be subject to filibuster in the Senate. The law is often rendered toothl...

Logical thought is one of the main traits that distinguish us humans from other animals. The majority of people, however, don’t make full use of their thinking capacity, mainly because of the conditioning that they had to undergo when they were growing up, which has made them fear thinking. Here are the three main reasons why people are afraid to think: 1. Thinking brings change Thinking can make us reconsider our way of living, allowing us to see things from different perspectives, and helping us find ways to overcome obstacles that we might be facing — in short, it can change our lives to the better, if used wisely. Although  change is a necessary part of spiritual growth , many people are afraid of it, being strongly attached to their past — or rather, their ego — that they identify themselves with. Hence they choose not to think in order to prevent any change from happening, holding on their ego so hard, not wantin...

Transcendental Meditation is different from other forms of meditation . Many people are hesitant to start a meditation practice because they fear it will be hard, bu t a  new study shows that at least one form, Transcendental Meditation, actually requires very little effort. Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a type of meditation that is practiced twice a day, for 20 minutes at a time. Practitioners sit with their eyes closed. Unlike other forms of meditation, it does not focus on breath work or chanting. Still other forms of meditation call for concentration, such as Zen and Vipassana styles, or open monitoring, such as mindfulness meditation and Kriya yoga. The research on TM was published in the journal  Brain and Cognition . It looked at both self-reports and brain patterns of those studying at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa. It looked at 87 students who had been practicing TM for anywhere from one month to five years. Researchers observ...

Donald Trump is reportedly firing around 500 of Barack Obama’s staffers, as he plans to completely fill the White House with his own team. The Federalist Papers   reported that though it’s likely that Hillary Clinton would have let most of Obama’s people go so that she could hire her own staff, Trump’s win closed the door on the possibility of any of Obama’s staffer sticking around. The fired staffers have gotten so desperate about their employment situation that Obama has brought in representatives from Facebook, Instagram and other companies to offer insights into the job market. According to   CBS News , Linkedin officials are helping Obama’s staff find ways to market their skills. Georgetown University, which is located close to the White House, has designed a custom professional development program they call “Future44,” Obama is the 44th president, to teach Obama’s political appointees how to build their lives after the White House. The program ...

It is a cliche to say that relationships are hard and need to be worked on daily.   It doesn’t mean that the sentiment is untrue, but a fundamental law of our nature.

For two individual people with their own goals and priorities to hitch their destinies together and pull in the same direction for decades is no small feat of endurance. It requires a few things in abundance to complete that journey to its inevitable end. Much of our society views relationships as either disposable or possessing an expiration date. Couples who stay together to the end view their relationships as forever and irreplaceable. But, how do you build a relationship that lasts forever? HERE ARE FIVE ‘SECRETS’ TO A GREAT AND LASTING RELATIONSHIP: 1. TRUST If you have ever watched a child build an elaborate building out of wooden blocks or some contraption out of Legos, only to smash it apart in a second of gleefu...
