Einstein felt strangled by his grade-driven teachers at school.
A musical Einstein believed we all danced to a mysterious tune within.
If I hadn’t an absolute faith in the harmony of creation, I wouldn’t have tried for thirty years to express it in a mathematical formula. It is only man’s consciousness of what he does with his mind that elevates him above the animals and enables him to become aware of himself and his relationship to the universe.
Einstein discussing Science and God with Indian spiritual teacher Tagore.
I like to experience the universe as one harmonious whole. Every cell has life. Matter, too, has life; it is energy solidified. Our bodies are like prisons, and I look forward to being free, but I don’t speculate on what will happen to me.
Einstein believed that the real scientist has faith.
If we want to improve the world we cannot do it with scientific knowledge but with ideals. Confucius, Buddha, Jesus, and Gandhi have done more for humanity than science has done.
Without religion, there is no charity. The soul given to each of us is moved by the same living spirit that moves the universe.
I am not a mystic. Trying to find out the laws of nature has nothing to do with mysticism, though in the face of creation I feel very humble. It is as if a spirit is manifest infinitely superior to man’s spirit. Through my pursuit in science, I have known cosmic religious feelings. But I don’t care to be called a mystic.
Albert and his finite wisdom was onto something here. God IS REAL.No matter how you want to beat around the bush, He is,He was and He always will be.
Prove it… You are your own being, we can see you. We all have a cosmic life within US, we don’t need to be told what to believe or how. See Luke 17: 20-21. Kind of sums it up.
He is bind blowing smart, an has just stated the obvious. Some of it is all just such strong built in natural instincts ( intuition )so strong that we cant handle it in our minds (conscious) so we force to manifest it into something we can handle… like a god? or science? … Mayb ? Which he explains is always possible. In a endless amount of ways.
His both of the left and right brains were able to communicate. After Newton, he was the ever genius human mankind has…his washroom had been full of equations all over..very nice article..its like we all need to connect the dots/bits and pieces of information like in a sacred geometry tetrahedon as we all are connected in the sacred COSMOS. Namaste.
If, we don’t think, outside the square, we won’t know we’re in it. When everything is relative, inconsequence could be nothing-;!
The square is man made it just fences things in, the triangle shows us our path to God and the circles ever widening, as we embrace more and more, are what truly binds us together and keep us alive.
Are you happier knowing the position of the sun? That’s the point he’s trying to make. Logical knowing doesn’t make one any happier. Knowing love and compassion absolutely does.
“If we want to improve the world we cannot do it with scientific knowledge but with ideals. Confucius, Buddha, Jesus and Gandhi have done more for humanity than science has done” Without science you’d still think the sun rotates around the Earth and you’d not be publishing this utter nonsense.
How could he possibly have overlooked the confirmation by Copernicus being the turning point when people began treating other people justly, after which we all lived happily ever after? Now I understand why Einstein devoted his life to religion, and had so little regard for science.
Like Einstein says we have to find our purpose on this earth, which first you have to learn self. Our fraudulent systems of governance worldwide doesent allow that. That’s why conciouness awareness is not taught in the education systems, to keep humans preoccupied and in servitude. The elites on this earth know it and don’t want humans to find out about there own spiritual iq which is the highest of intelligence quotas. The education system will only teach you that an academic iq is a high iq.Companys, businesses and investors know and teach about iq quadrants this is how we are rated in this fraudulent system intelligence quota and spiritual iq us the winner. Elbert Einstein found out the truth and knew his job-purpose here. Helping to awaken the human consciousness. We are sound, energy and vibration, Please help create spiritual consciousness awareness.Its an amazing enlightenment.
I wouldn’t say he had little regard for science. The man was a scientist. What he tried to do was bring two “things” that are (perceived as) opposites and bring them together into a balance; the Middle Way that Buddha talked about.
Behind every pair of eyes save our own there is an unknown universe into which we can not enter. We can make assumptions of similar experiences but these assumptions come with limitations and can in themselves be limiting. To assume the human consciousness to be “higher” makes such an assumption. It is similar in its fallacy to a person educated within a specified culture to assume some other cultures to be “primitive.” Our god after all may not be a he or a she but an it. It may be very creative but it may not necessarily be just.
even the bible says: God says. I Am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the ending.Alpha and Omega the divine polarity. Or call it yin and yang. God is male and female.
God is good and just. We are co-creators with God. We have free will in what we think, say and do. We an do good things are bad things. But there also comes a time when we have to reap what we saw. Otherwise we don’t learn from our mistakes.
Einstein provided uplifting words here, especially for the times in which they were written when science reigned: “reason over passion”- and relevant now….disappointed in many of the comments which are not uplifting….
It’s a shame society has to corral itself into the realm of rational thought but I suppose it’s seen as the only way to maintain order and control the direction of progress to any degree. Most people simply don’t have the level of intelligence required to allow intuition to be our guiding philosophy; it would simply result in chaos. Or would it? Maybe if intuition was given a higher standing in our education system it would release a spring of latent brilliance. Either way…I wish we had more Einsteins.
It’s not whether you are intelligent enough to listen to intuition…we all have intuition…we’ve just been conditioned by industrialism to ignore it.
The article is titled “The Spiritual World of Albert Einstein” and it is very interesting to read what a man of his intellectual capacity believed. It’s not for anyone in this day and age of so many church leaders and leaders of alternative belief systems, who have been exposed as having feet of clay, to expose their lack of compassion and enlightenment by denouncing or criticizing what Einstein believed. After the horrors and omissions committed by of one of the biggest religions on the planet today…how can anyone follow its tenets with the sort of blind devotion many do, mystifies me. what you believe and how you express that belief should be private and is no-one’s business but yours…forcing your beliefs on others is pure selfish ego.
Einstein knew the value of sharing spiritual insight, not keeping it private. Now to find an international group of spiritual people who refuse to kill other humans, THAT would be a discovery!
Its unfortunate that commenters here are disappointed that Einstein didn’t satisfy their pre-conceived notions. He provided a wonderful perspective, and as he mentioned at the end, he was only here to fulfill his purpose.
The Following section was taken from Albert Einstein’s Ideas and Opinion (1954): Cosmic Religion “But there is a third stage of religious experience which belongs to all of them, even though it is rarely found in a pure form: I shall call it cosmic religious feeling. It is very difficult to elucidate this feeling to anyone who is entirely without it, especially as there is no anthropomorphic conception of God corresponding to it.
The individual feels the futility of human desires and aims and the sublimity of marvelous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world of thought. Individual existence impresses him as sort of a prison and he wants to experience the universe as a single significant whole… The religious geniuses of all ages have been distinguished by this kind of religious feeling, which knows no dogma and no God conceived in man’s image; so that there can be no church whose central teachings are based on it. Hence it is precisely among the heretics of every age that we find men who were filled with this highest kind of religious feeling and were, in many cases, regarded by their contemporaries as atheists, sometimes also as saints.
The Agape of Cosmic Consciousness … The Guardian Of Divinity … playing as the Gardeners Of Duality…. while forgetting who we really are. Just for the fun of it.
Gardeners of duality – great way to put it. And we, as one cosmic mind, did it for the fun. Only to “ascend”, begin to remember, and probably do it all over again falling back into the “Forgetfulness” of the veil. Here we go again.. And onto fourth density we go!
Ah. The the dwapara yuga. This is a time of great change. The great awakening of all the humans on the earth. It has been prophesized. The Hopi people say that after travellers in wagons (pioneers), iron snakes (trains), spider webs (telephone lines), and rivers of stone (highways) cross the land then the young ones will learn the way of the elders (hippies?) Then we will enter the fourth world and find Pahana, the lost white brother. The Hindus say that Kalki,the supreme incarnation of Vishnu will destroy all evil riding on a white horse. The Bible says that God will ride on a white horse and destroy all evil and usher in a thousand years of peace. It’s coming soon. As Crosby Still and Nash said “the darkest time is always just before the dawn” it is definitely a dark time. The dawn is coming. Prepare. Not with your mind, oh no, those who do will be left behind, but with your, your soul, the very whole of your existence. Be in the universe, no, be the universe yourself. But is there a self? Does it matter? Breathe and drink And eat and sleep and take care of the earth, our mother. It is universal. Across cultures. Across time. It is cosmic. It is the whole universe at play. It is utterly, perfectly beautiful.
What I find hilarious is that my current Physics book I’m using for Physics101 in college, goes into a egotistical rant concerning intuition and “Pseudo” sciences. Yet so called “Pseudo” sciences actually do have a place in REAL science. Its appalling and utterly nauseating that much incredible scientific research that has been done regarding intelligent energy around us is laughed out of dodge and considered “logical fallacy”. For example, Dr. Jim Tucker’s research of reincarnation is absolutely incredible. I think its very scientific and valid. Most scientists today repulse me. “Rationality” is the enemy of intuition. Intuition is available to all, scientist or not. One need not be a mathematical genius to perceive the truth of the cosmos. It may be that math fails us in the end and destroys our opportunity for spiritual ascension. One can not see the big picture if they are peering through a keyhole out of FEAR of what they will see if they open their hearts/minds up to their own gift (power) of intuition. Yes, it takes courage to look in that direction. You may be labeled a mystic or a fool, but in the end, you’re looking at truth while much of science is trying to measure God with an equation.
Great read! Do good, help others and stay in today ?
Very interesting reading all these comments..
Einstein was a true father of Philosophy – one of the greatest and he knew where he stood! Such depth in every word he wrote or stated – ex “I do not need any promise of eternity to be happy. My eternity is now. I have only one interest: to fulfill my purpose here where I am.” And Einstein Lives On!
Agreed, not a religious person but a kind person. Living in the moment, enjoying life and not in the least concerned about heaven or Hell but rather what form my energy will take. The Universe is a big place.
Here is a man who truly understood the Nature of Relativity … the nature by which one “relates” to the world of time, space and energy. And that all falls under the description of Quantum Physics.
But IMO .. what he never “Said” … but was implicit in his thinking was the fact that it is the Qualia (the quality of entangled harmonic relationships) that is the driving force of . . . “Causation” that precedes and is essential for the . . . .Quanta “Effects” of things we call reality.
And so when social scientists catch up with the axioms of “Quantum of Physics” … with their “Qualia of Harmonics” … then humanity may just have a chance of surviving the corporate and political secrets, lie, corruption and greed that is destroying our chances of survival.
looks like in the school you sited boys and girls used the same washroom…, unified, eh..
These may be some of the most beautiful words I have ever read in my life.. Like reading my own thoughts. I love this man.
Einstein had a deep philosophical and spiritual soul….
This one here is a testimony that Einstein stands tall among all other scientists. Brilliant to the core!
Good insight from a great scientist.
I say that each of us comprehend more than we are able to vocalize. Einstein was gifted with the ability to come close to expressing his thoughts through speech and science. He cultivated his own intuition to perceive and connect with the universe in the moment of his life, way to go Albert!
The problem with trying to create a mathematical formula that will capture reality is that mathematics are rooted in duality whereas the essence of reality is inherently non dual and cannot be reduced to quantitative measurement and analysis. Although ultimate reality can be intuitively experienced, it is simply not subject to things such as mathematics and the kinds of science which depend upon and derive from it.
Einstein learned to look within and to intuition to reveal the everpresent harmony of the universe. And its laws.This is my definition of spirituality!
God, as I think he means here, is the combination of all things. The pulse of the universe, so to speak. The vibration and thrum that exists within every particle. All intertwined and connected on some level beyond our current ability to measure. Discovering the mystery of how it all connects, how it all works, was his religion.
God is something beyond our understanding and has as much resemblance to man as to an asteroid. What sentience god has is on a level we are not equipped to understand.
Intuition, in my humble opinion, is when we subconsciously notice a connection we wouldn’t make consciously.
Buddhists say all things are connected and string theory agrees. Religions talk about being one under god. Sounds like intuition to me.
I have posed the curiosity I have as being interested in answers to what I refer to as “The Big Three”. Which I State are where did I come from, what am i doing here (or maybe better stayed as . . What am i to do here?) and where am i going when I leave here? I have allowed my mind to go in numerous directions in search for answers to The Big Three. I will continue doing so for as long as I am conscious of my existence. As a note, reading this piece outlining how Albert Einstein saw things has given me some very peaceful feelings and I thank him for that. Intuition is the driving force.
I love Einstein! Years ago I had a client who said her grandpa was a philosopher who was friends with Einstein. They used to get together, have deep conversation and enjoy their drink of choice, she said… Warm Milk!
Ah! The nectar of the Gods.
My soul , heart and mind appreciates these insights. And yes, intuition is important, it does come from the soul, The soul knows.
I know this does not have to do with the article but if anyone is interested in a spiritual psychic reading, i happen to know a good psychic who has given me great help finding my spirituality. try her out if you are in need of spiritual help. Her guides answers questions quickly.
I think he describes “spiritual but not religious”. Different from atheist or agnostic.

Stomach bloating is a common condition that affects most people at some point in their lifetime. It can make the stomach feel puffy, swollen, and generally quite uncomfortable, said the NHS. Your bloating pain may be caused by eating certain gassy foods, or by eating too fast or too much. But you could also be raising your chances of bloating pain by regularly eating garlic, its been claimed.
Garlic could trigger bloating in some individuals as they contain fructans, revealed medical website Medical News Today.
Fructans are a type of fibre that can be difficult to properly break down. Even eating just a small amount of garlic could trigger bloating, it warned.
If you often use onions in your cooking, it may be an idea to swap them for leeks or celery, it added.
“Onions contain fructans, which are soluble fibres that may cause bloating,” said the medical website.
“Fructans also occur in garlic, leek, agave, wheat, and a range of other gas-producing foods.
“Even in small quantities, onions and garlic can cause bloating and other digestive issues.
“Some people may have an allergy to garlic or onions, which further increases the likelihood of bloating, belching, and gas after consuming them.
You could also feel bloated after eating cruciferous vegetables, including spinach and carrots, it added.
Cruciferous vegetables contain some indigestible nutrients that may lead to some bloating symptoms.
But you could lower your risk of developing trapped wind by cooking your cruciferous vegetables before eating them.

LOUISBURG -- A developer urged Franklin County leaders to prioritize improvements to a Youngsville pump station that, if left in its current state, could jeopardize a development that could grow the town by almost 40 percent.
David Lazzo told county commissioners on Monday night that a 174 lot Wynn Homes development on 70-acres of Cross Street has been approved by Youngsville's Board of Adjustment.
Little Ellia Brown shows off her long-jumping form recently at the Franklin County Special Olympics held at Franklinton High School.
LOUISBURG -- Ed "Service" Wilson.
It wasn't the name he was born with.
And it wasn't quite the name stamped into his dog tags during 20 years in the Army, including two stints in Vietnam.
But it's the middle name he's earned over several decades of his life, the most recent as part of the Four Amigos -- a group that has been building handicap ramps for those in need on behalf of United Way.
HELPING HAND. Russ Vollmer, left, places strawberries in a donation bin. John Provetero, center, and Kady McDonald from Garner picked berries for themselves and made donations.
FRANKLIN COUNTY -- A wind and hail storm swept through south central Franklin County last week, crippling two farms in its destructive path.
Robert Richards of Triple R Farms on Bob Richards Road watched helplessly as winds topping 100 mph lifted a shelter off the foundation and sent it flying -- leaving behind a debris field of metal and beams in the tons.
A tree also fell onto a migrant house and the roof on a migrant trailer was damaged.
WASHINGTON -- Attorneys expect to appeal a ruling that upheld a state law requiring voters to show photo ID.
The lead plaintiff in that lawsuit, Franklin County native Rosanell Eaton, has been called historic and President Barack Obama helped solidify that by inviting her to attend a Women's History Month Reception in March.
Eaton, 94, raised in the Jim Crow South, overcame a literacy test over 70 years ago when she first attempted to register to vote.
What a great weekend -- and that's not a reference to the weather.
It was a weekend full of free, fun, often hilarious entertainment -- and the Democrats are going to have to kick up their game several notches if they hope to compete with the reality show that has become Republican politics this year.
Whether it's at the national level with The Donald and a cast of wannabes or at the state level with Poor Pat and a General Assembly led by the Keystone Kops shooting themselves in the political foot, they have pushed politics to new levels of hilarity.
The long-running saga that is Franklin County's effort to get a radio system that actually works would be funny -- IF it weren't so expensive and IF lives of our first responders weren't being put in danger by an inadequate radio system.
The price tag is huge -- more than $11 million that officials admit and that's probably not a full tally.
To put that in perspective, that is the cost of a new elementary school, with playground and athletic facilities.
If spanking kids is wrong, do we wanna be right?
It's hard to debate cold, hard facts and statistics.
Five decades of research were recently released in a study and its authors concluded: Spanking has many negative outcomes.
According to reports, after analyzing all the data, spanking has long-term harmful effects on kids.
During the last few weeks, we have not only seen signs of North Carolina becoming a pariah state within the global business community but now within the Republican Party itself.
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez's office made a Friday afternoon announcement that she was backing out of a previous long-standing commitment to be the keynote speaker at the North Carolina Republican Convention on May 7 in Greensboro.

ELKHART LAKE, Wisconsin (Aug. 27, 2018) – Fresh from more than a month off, PCA Club Racing Trophy East competitors are returning to PCA’s The Road America Challenge (TRAC) event at Road America in scenic Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Trophy East drivers will compete on the iconic 4.048-mile, 14-turn road course, located midway between Milwaukee and Green Bay, over Labor Day weekend, Sept 1-3. Road America marks the series’ fifth event of the 2018 season.
Leading the TE6 class this season is Curt Swearingin, representing the Tennessee PCA Region in the No. 1 ACI Motorsports entry. Swearingin is ahead, 158-89, over SpeedSport Tuning’s Jack McCarthy. Swearingin’s ACI Motorsports teammate, Richard Edge, is currently in third place in the TE6 class with 85 points, just 4 points behind McCarthy.
In the TE4CS class, NOLAsport’s Alejandro Galindo continues to lead the class with 147 points. Galindo won both sprints in the TE4CS class at Monticello Motor Club in mid-July. ACI Motorsports’ Efrin Castro is currently second in the TE4CS class with 115 points, and BGB Motorsports’ Tom Collingwood has advanced to third place with 88 points following the series’ last event in Monticello, New York.

Can anybody throw some light on concurrent list, what it is? what items are listed in it?
In the Federal List, there were enumerated subjects on which the Federal Centre alone could legislate. This list comprised two parts, which had 67 items.
The second legislative list, designated as the Concurrent List, had 47 items. On these items, both the Centre and the provinces were entitled to legislate, but it was also laid down in the Constitution that in case of conflict between the laws made by the Centre and a province with respect to a subject in the Concurrent List, it was the federal law which was to prevail, no matter which of the two laws were made first. This means that the Centre had actual competence not only over the subjects specifically reserved for it, but also over those mentioned in the Concurrent Legislative List.
The residuary powers in matters not enumerated in Legislative Lists were left to the competence of the provinces.
Why FLL is divided in Part 1 and Part 2. What is the principal difference?
It would be a bit lengthy and might the marks would be also divided .

A customer brought in this fixture the other day and asked for it to be rewired. Panlight fixtures are on my long list of favorites. The way these fixtures are decorative and simple at the same time is really why I like them. They are specific to the early to mid 20th century and are perfect for restoration.
First, we need to inspect the lamp and make a list of parts needed for the repair.
Note - For smaller projects, you can use cord sets and cut off the plug. You want to make sure not to have any "extra" connections or spliced wire when it's not needed.
With all the parts located, we are ready to disassemble the fixture. We start by removing the old candle covers. Then we unscrew the wires from the old socket screw terminals. The old sockets have a threaded base that unscrew from the fixture arm.
Next, we open the Panlight body by unscrewing the bottom finial. The body has two parts: a top and a bottom pan.
These cloth covered wires seem to be original. They were made of good copper, but the plastic insulation breaks down over time and becomes brittle. The crack can expose the copper wire to the lamp body creating an electrical short and a dangerous fixture.
Last, we will remove the decorative cups on each of the arms and remove the old wire. Now the fixture is completely disassembled and ready to be rewired.
Each arm will have a socket, bushing, and wire routed to the middle of the pan. Connecting the wire to the socket terminals needs to be consistent. The smooth wire should connect to the brass screw terminal and the ribbed wire should connect to the nickel screw terminal.
With all the sockets wired and the wires in the pan, we will add a 6th wire. This wire will connect to the canopy and the house wires. Each wire should be stripped about 1/2 inch and connected with a wire nut. The smooth wires in one connection and the ribbed wires in another connection.
With all the connections complete, the wires are tucked inside the bottom pan. Join the top and bottom pans together and insert the rod on the bottom finial to hold the pans in place. The sixth wire is threaded up the top pan and through the chain and finally into the canopy.
At this point you can test the lamp. Add bulbs to the sockets. Keep your distance from the sockets while you power the 6th line. Remember, the smooth wire represents the hot/black/small side of the plug on the home wires and the ribbed wire is the neutral/white/wide side of the plug. Keeping theses wires in order keeps the lamp polarized.
Looking good and almost complete. Finally we add the candle covers for the complete look.
Making lamps from jugs or bottles is very common. There are kits to help with the process so you don't have to add many things to your parts list. We'll take you through our 5 steps to making a lamp from any jug or bottle.
One thing you can't pick up from the lamp parts store is the jug or bottle. Good candidates for lamps are heavy weighted bottles with a large diameter base. These are the most stable for table lamps. This jug was brought to our shop the other day and the customer wanted a table lamp.
With the jug or bottle, we are now going to collect the parts needed.
5. Other hardware includes: seating ring, rubber washer, lock washer, and brass nut.
Now we will start the 5 step process to assembling the lamp parts and putting the lamp together.
Step 1: Assemble the washer, threaded rod, and nut with the rubber adapter.
Step 2: Fit the bottle adapter to the bottle top.
Our 1 inch diameter rubber adapter was a bit too snug, so we shaved a little off the sides to make sure we had a good fit.
Step 3: Attach the seating ring, rubber washer, harp saddle and socket cap.
The seating ring serves 2 purposes: first, to cover the top of the bottle and look good, second, it acts as a top plate to squeeze the rubber adapter for an even tighter fit. The lock washer goes between the seating ring and the harp saddle.
Note: For this lamp, we orientate the harp saddle from left to right and the side outlet in the socket cap is in the back of the lamp.
Step 4: Wire the socket.
Push the ends of the lamp cord through the side outlet on the socket cap. Tie a UL Knot in the lamp cord. Attach the cord to the socket interior. The smooth wire connects to the brass screw and the ribbed wire connects to the nickle screw. Pull any slack out of the lamp cord back out the socket cap and press the socket shell over the socket interior and lock in the tabs on the socket cap. Make sure there is a tight fit between the socket cap and shell.
Note: The socket turn knob is orientated in the middle of the harp saddle and in the front of the lamp.
Step 5: Add a bulb, plug in the cord and test the lamp.
Give the whole lamp one last look and make sure the socket is locked from cap and shell. Wiggle the socket and make sure the rubber adapter is setting firm in the bottle/jug.
Now you are ready for the harp and shade. Total time < 30 minutes. Total Cost < $30.

I've been missing my TWICE a week dose of body massages - the reason for this would be the parties and functions that I've been attending. Since just a month ago it officially became the Christmas Season - parties crept up from nowhere, and the next thing you know - holiday na (as in walang work).
So I'm really looking forward to this Thursday night - beacause Thursday nights are official MASSAGE nights here at home.
I think I'm having withdrawal symptoms from not getting my massages for over a month!! My lower back is killing me, my shoulders are getting SUPER sore and many more aches and pains here and there - these are the symptoms of not having my weekly dose of massage. I said to myself before na I'd lessen my massage days to once a week nalang. But at this point, it seems IMPOSSIBLE for me to do that. I need one BADLY!!!
So on Thursday.... WALANG DAPAT MANG-GULO SA AKIN AFTER WORK!!! Hahaha... Just kidding!!

The “Spiritual Meanings” of what’s happening in the uncertain world you are now living in, the guidance in it for you, and your part in it.
66 years ago, Linda’s spirit guides presented her with a view of a world in distress; one where people lived in fear, unable to hang on, and her part in it. That world is now upon you.
… has caused you to seek enlightenment about something you haven’t learned or possibly don’t remember. Deep inside you know you were chosen to be here in this life right now and feel inspired to take action to raise your own consciousness and that of others … the ones who can be reached.
Confusion about what’s really happening in the world is what moves you to seek the “spiritual meanings” of events. From this connected perspective, you can begin to see through the confusion. This is what you have been missing. It’s an intelligence and a language that brings clarity, not fear. It’s a place where you have power.
Until now, you didn’t know how to interpret it, so you ignored it.
Consequently, you got caught up in what was happening in just this world, allowing it to scare and control you. The price was a disconnection from your true self and your guidance.
Only when the fear is released can your Spirit Guides and Angels reach you. The “Spiritual Meanings” in Linda’s Weekly Guided Insights move you past the fear and confusion, as you restore a connection you lost long ago.
Nobody here in this world, even paid professionals, have your answers because they are just as uncertain about how to respond to what’s happening in the world as you are.
Turning to others for advice will only give you opinions; turning to your Spirit Guides will give you solutions.
For starters, everything that’s happening is always happening for you, and not to you. In order to perceive this, you must come from an unbiased perspective where you are not taking things personally. At that moment you are instantly connected and see that thinking everything is happening to you is the wrong interpretation of any situation.

Now scientists are claiming that in millions of years the African continent could split two.
In an article for the Conversation, Lucia Perez Diaz, Pa ostdoctoral Researcher at the Fault Dynamics Research Group, London’s Royal Holloway, explains how this could happen.
The Earth is an ever-changing planet, even though in some respects change might be almost unnoticeable to us.
Plate tectonics is a good example of this. But every now and again something dramatic happens and leads to renewed questions about the African continent splitting in two.
What is the East African rift?
An example of a place on Earth where this has happened is the South Atlantic ocean, which resulted from the break up of South America and Africa around 138m years ago – ever noticed how their coastlines match like pieces of the same puzzle?.

The X Factor contestant is back with his second single ‘Curtain Call’ and it really isn’t anything to get overly excited about. The single definitely isn’t as noticeable as his multi-layered exciting first single ‘Is This Love’. His vocals are the main focus of the verses of this slower single. The choruses are more upbeat with the introduction of percussion and a female vocalist but then we’re back to the dreary verses, in which Aiden’s vocals are the main focal point.
Perhaps this song will grow on me but as for first impressions it definitely doesn’t stand out. It sounds to me like it should have stayed as an album track and not been released as a single. It just doesn’t have the ‘oomph’ of some of the other tracks in today’s charts. Perhaps Mr Grimshaw is relying on his looks to sell his singles rather than the music itself. I’m sure he can rely on all those X-Factor fans to make sure his records sell.

Moby Vocabulary is the fastest way to learn new words and ensures that students remember words for a lifetime. The Common Core Standards specifically note the importance of vocabulary: "The importance of students acquiring a rich and varied vocabulary cannot be overstated. Vocabulary has been empirically connected to reading comprehension since at least 1925....the difference in students' vocabulary levels is a key factor in disparities in academic achievement ..."
Moby's adaptive pretest ensures that students only practice unknown words. Students learn each word and then practice word meanings by matching the word with the appropriate definition, sentence, and picture. The review cycle ensures that vocabulary words are retained for life.
Research has consistently shown that vocabulary is the key to becoming an effective reader. Students practice words they do not know and skip words they have already mastered. Using spaced-interval-training techniques, students review words frequently over a period of weeks and then over a period of months.
Moby constantly monitors student progress and word acquisition. You will easily be able to see your students' weekly, monthly and even daily progress. Moreover, you can monitor acquisition rates to see how fast your students acquire new words.
Teachers can opt to start students with a pretest or manually determine each student's word level. The teacher can then allow Moby to find the words the student is not familiar with or build their own word lists. Either way, the student will learn effectively and efficiently with the Find-Learn-Practice-Review cycle.

In an effort to better inform the public of the activities performed and services provided to the community during the previous year, the Harrison County Health Department creates and distributes an annual report. The annual report, prepared within the first trimester of the following year, contains a brief account of the activities of the HCHD. These reports outline a qualitative description of the program's activities, provide quantitative measures of the program's performance and includes photographs of program staff.
Within the Health Department, the annual report offers a comparative measure to previous years' performance while serving as a baseline for the coming year's program planning. Within Harrison County, the annual report raises awareness of the services provided by the Health Department. Accordingly, each year the annual report is presented to the Board of Trustees, Interagency Council, local health care stakeholders and elected officials. The report is also made available to the public upon request.

This is just past the Tourist Office in Daglan with lots of free parking. You can enjoy a picnic or just a walk in the park. The art appears and disappears. This particular tableau is Josephine Baker dancing on the banks of the Céou and a couple boys fishing by the little bridge. The entire village is picturesque and well worth an afternoon.
I've never seen a chained cat before and this little gal was very friendly. Her chain was long enough she could jump up on the wall to be petted. When we left, she cheerfully jumped back down into her yard to sleep away the afternoon. I suppose it was to keep her safe since the house backed up onto the village parking lot.
There is a large parking lot just past the Tourist Information Office, Maison de la Pierre Seche. Park and walk into town. A right turn near the Mairie will take you to the 14th century church of Saint Martin (follow the steeple) where you can find a carved wooden statue and these colorful butterflies. Daglan is not one of the Plus Beaux Villages of France, but it is a Ville Fleuri and exceptionally pretty. There is a park along the Céou River where you can picnic if you like.

Halewood International Foreign Exchange Limited, more commonly known as HiFX, is one of the pioneers in P2P money transfer business. They are quite well-known around the world for their amazing customer service that they have been providing for the last 20 years. HiFX was founded by Shaun Taylor, Matthew Knowles, and Laurence Butcher in 1998. They are a game changer in providing the cheapest option for fund transfers around the world. Their services has reached more than 170 countries, and they can make transactions in over 142 currencies. Just a few years ago, they merged with the prestigious Euronet Group. They also specialize in providing other money transfer solutions to individuals and businesses. Just by looking at their score of 9.4/10 on Trustpilot, we can easily see that they provide amazing service to their customers. Here I will review HiFX, their services, and I will give you a better understanding of each aspect of the company.
Pick the type of transaction you are going to make.
Choose from any of the methods of payment and pay for the transfer.
Now, your transfer is done and you will be notified by HiFX about the status of your transfer.
In my research, I couldn’t find any good reasons to not trust HiFX for any financial transactions. They are a part of Euronet Group now which is a very reliable name in money management. Their customers have shown their trust and loyalty in HiFX through their reviews on Trustpilot. As much as 87% of the reviewers have rated them as “Excellent”. The company’s primary focus is to ensure safety for their customers’ money. This is why they keep customers’ funds in a separate account from the company’s own funds. They have also added an advanced encryption to their website to protect users’ details and their money. They have acquired a license from the FCA and HMRC to make international payment transfers. Thousands of customers and businesses trust their money to HiFX due to these safety features.
HiFX ensures that you pay minimum while transferring your money. They have zero transfer fees, and they also offer great exchange rates. Even then, there may be some additional costs involved. If you pay with your credit card, you will be charged a transaction fee. Also, some banks charge money to receive payments. If you pay directly with your bank account and get the money transferred to a bank where they don’t charge money for receiving, you can totally skip all these charges. This way, you can make a transfer without spending any money. You can imagine how much money you can save yearly without fees.
Due to their fast services, your payment will usually reach its destination in a day .
They offer convenient payment options like credit cards, debit cards, and bank account transfer.
Exchange Rates – While HiFX exchange rates are okay, but they are nowhere near the best in the business.
No option for cash pick-up – Unlike other big money transfer services, HiFX doesn’t have any brick-and-mortars to deposit or pick-up cash for money transfers.
So far, I am really impressed with HiFX, and you should try it. There are already so many customer reviews that support my opinion. Almost every customer praises their economical pricing, great customer experience, and smooth transaction. HiFX has been featured multiple times in prominent publications like The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Times, and The Guardian. All with positive reviews! They have also acquired a strong financial foothold after becoming a part of Euronet Group. When compared to the all of the newly established fund transfer companies, HiFX gives you trust and stability with its presence in the business for 20 years. It gives HiFX a certain edge over the others.

When you do business in the cloud, it’s important to stay grounded in a secure, responsive infrastructure that’s flexible enough to meet your changing needs. One part of the hybrid IT story that often gets overlooked is networking connectivity. Yet connectivity can have a huge impact on security, performance and reliability in the cloud.
Though the cloud seems invisible and abstract to most customers, it exists in a physical place, so the laws of physics, geography and IT fundamentals, like networking, matter. Whether you’re just entering the cloud or are looking to expand your presence, be sure you and your provider make connectivity a core consideration.
First and foremost, some customers have data that they don’t want exposed to the internet in any way, shape or form. Whether it’s PII (personally identifiable information), PHI (personal health information) or credit card information, they need to keep it under tight control. Many customers have evolving investments in network security policies and devices. Leveraging these existing investments is key to extending their security to data that must transit the cloud.
A key term in networking, latency, represents the round-trip time (RTT) it takes to send data across a network. When customers run workloads across different places such as in the cloud and between geographically diverse data centers as in hybrid IT, this can add latency, resulting in slower performance and usability issues for the end user. It’s very common for customers who are inexperienced with running IT in multiple environments to have issues with these environments being too far apart. Our team has a fundamental tenet: you can’t change the speed of light. You can’t make information travel from Omaha to Boston any faster than physics will allow. If you move something 1,000 miles away, then there will be some challenges in the speed of delivery.
Internet VPNs are a very common method for providing connectivity to your cloud resources. However, they are limited to the reliability of internet services. The internet is ubiquitous but not always 100% reliable. Critical applications and data can require service levels that go beyond what we sometimes experience with the internet.
Not all bandwidth needs are created equal. Customers often need help with bandwidth sizing based on their business needs and functions. For example, an architectural and engineering firm uses very large files than can take an inordinate amount of time to save and send if there isn’t enough bandwidth. The amount of change in the environment is another factor that impacts bandwidth. For instance, with eCommerce and point-of-sale (POS) applications, those logs are continuously changing and updating, which is important in disaster recovery planning as well as in bandwidth sizing.
But while there can be connectivity challenges in hybrid IT, there are also strategies for overcoming them or avoiding the issues altogether. Part of TierPoint's hybrid IT approach is around network solutions that help ensure security, performance and reliability.
Some customers with security, compliance, segmentation, or bandwidth concerns are opting for a private, dedicated connection to the cloud instead of using the public internet. For larger businesses with established processes, procedures, and network security requirements, a direct connection helps them realize the benefits of hybrid IT as they move more workloads to public cloud environments. Besides greater security, direct connections to a data center can shave milliseconds from latency, making the application in the data center perform that much better.
Another connectivity option - ICX - allows us to interconnect our customers between multiple TierPoint facilities, providing more flexibility and resiliency to their colocation needs. For example, a customer may have a large investment in colocated hardware that’s still depreciating, but they’ve outgrown the capacity. So they can extend their equipment in our facility by connecting to our Infrastructure as a Services (IaaS) – just paying for the capacities they use -- instead of purchasing new hardware and software licenses. We can interconnect our multi-tenant cloud at one facility to their colocated gear or private cloud at another facility over our ICX network. This frees them up to keep depreciating the investment they made while still having access to the resources they need to grow.
We find DR planning is another use case for ICX. When customers have data centers in geographically diverse areas to mitigate risk of natural disaster, they still need a way to move the data between the two sites, and ICX is a good and flexible fit.
There are other connectivity solutions for optimizing performance in hybrid IT environments, such as cross-connects, content delivery networks (CDN), load balancing, and IP Managed network services. These are all tried-and-tested and round out an effective and flexible connectivity toolkit.
The most important considerations are knowledge and capabilities. You want to be sure your hybrid IT and cloud providers can offer the depth of experience and services to provide the advice and flexibility you need to put together a hybrid IT strategy that meets your IT and business objectives.
Dom is responsible for all things network- related at TierPoint, helping create new products and answering detailed questions from teams to tackle specific customer issues. In the process, he gathers feedback from customer interactions to guide product improvements and create new solutions to meet customer needs.

text: Oranges are the most popular citrus fruits, a commonplace that is available all year round, but no less well loved for that. The Valencia has more seeds than a naval orange and often has a green tinged skin. Oranges need a cool temperature to retain their orange skin colour and Valencia's harvested in summer may loose some colour as a result. The valencia is ideal for juicing. Oranges go well with ingredients such as chocolate, almonds, walnuts, liqueurs, chillies, prawns, pork, mint, olives, carrot and spinach and beetroot. To Store: Store oranges at room temperature for 3 days, or in a loosely sealed plastic bag in the crisper of the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

The death of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences we face; when that death is caused by the actions of a third party, it only adds to the sense of grief, anger, and frustration. The LaBovick Law Group has been helping families in their time of need since 1992; if you need wrongful death legal assistance, we are here to help guide you through the complicated legal process. If you are ready to get started, schedule a free wrongful death case consultation with a local attorney.
Do You Need a Wrongful Death Attorney in West Palm Beach?
What is “wrongful” death? It occurs when an individual dies as a result of another party’s recklessness, negligence, or willful misconduct. In certain circumstances – such as medical malpractice, traffic accidents, birth injuries, workplace accidents/conditions, murder/manslaughter – family members may file a claim seeking damages.
Your West Palm Beach wrongful death lawyer will consult with you, listening to the facts of the situation. We will work to determine if a wrongful death has occurred in legal terms: did the third party have a duty of care? Did they act or fail to act in a way that violated that duty? Were their actions the direct cause of the death?
These are complex questions, and the LaBovick Law Group team will assist you in finding the answers in the most compassionate way possible. It is a difficult situation; we know. We are here to help you take the next steps with greater confidence – and with an ally at your side.

Hong Kong is the supermarket of Asia.

I guess country music works better in supermarkets.

Chicken Burgers with Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato are one of my favorite healthy recipes to throw on the grill. I'm living for these FETA AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN BURGER RECIPE! Make these Ground Chicken Burgers by grilling on the stovetop or outdoors once the weather cooperates for the ultimate good for you comfort food. The Mediterranean flavor combo on these sandwiches is out of this world, especially when topped with an easy pesto mayo.
In a large mixing bowl, mix ground chicken, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Mix gently until ingredients are just combined. Divide into 4 equal portions and pat each portion into a 1-inch burger.
Heat skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons reserved packing oil from the tomatoes. Heat the oil until it sheens and set the burgers in the skillet. Cook until lightly seared on first side, 4 minutes. Flip the burgers and continue cooking until opposite side has a nice light sear, an additional 3-4 minutes. Flip the burgers over (again) and partially cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the burgers are cooked through and register 160°F when tested with a meat thermometer.
While the burgers cook, mix the mayonnaise ingredients together, in a medium mixing bowl, and set aside.
To serve, spread a thin layer of the Basil Mayonnaise on the inside of both halves of the buns. Place the burger on the bottom bun and top with burger garnishes of your choice.
*For this recipe it is important to use ground chicken and not ground chicken breasts (which can be labeled 99% fat-free). The burgers won't be as moist. Ground Turkey also works well.

Manchester United look set for another record-breaking year off the pitch after posting a healthy 16.5 per cent increase in first-quarter turnover to £73.8million.
United reported growth in all areas, with the commercial side benefiting from the amazing £40m deal with DHL to sponsor their training kit, helping it rise 22.3 per cent to £29.6m.
Media revenues were up from £19.4m to £22.6m, largely thanks to United's status as Premier League champions ensuring they get a larger share of the Champions League pot, and a lucrative five-match tour of the United States.
In addition, matchday income has also grown 9.6 per cent to £21.6m, thanks to the first complete sell-out of seasonal hospitality boxes since the plush Old Trafford quadrants were completed in 2006.
It leaves United's gross debt at £433.2m.
After posting turnover of £331.4m and profits of £110.9m last year, matching a campaign when they won the title and reached the Champions League final, where they were beaten by Barcelona, will not be easy given Manchester City's rise to prominence, including a 6-1 derby-day annihilation last month.
It places more emphasis on the commercial side, which has grown enormously thanks to a 'territorial' approach to marketing, which rival clubs may attempt to copy.
However, speaking last month, commercial director Richard Arnold was relaxed about that prospect.
'There is only one Manchester United,' he said. 'Whilst a lot of the strategy is public knowledge, I am very fortunate to be with the club I am with and able to do these deals.
'A lot of hard work has gone into getting to the position we are in now and we are already looking to the future.
'If people want to recreate what we did five years ago that is up to them.
United are also patting themselves on the back for securing five players on new contracts, including England international Chris Smalling and striking sensation Javier Hernandez, in addition to the summer arrivals of Ashley Young, Phil Jones and David de Gea.
However, there was no comment on speculation that Portugal winger Nani may be the next to benefit from an extension to his present deal, which is due to expire in 2014.
The position of £30.75m record signing Dimitar Berbatov also remains unresolved, with United still to confirm their intention to extend the Bulgarian's stay with the Red Devils by a further season, which under the terms of his present contract, which expires at the end of the season, they have the right to do.

First time parents have been reunited with two police officers who helped to save their one month old baby son.
A quick-thinking police officer who saved the life of a choking baby in Melbourne's west has described it as the highlight of his almost two decade long career.
The distressed parents of a four-week-old boy who had stopped breathing flagged down Sergeant Christopher White and Constable Alice Campbell as they were patrolling the suburb of Deer Park about 9.30pm on Tuesday evening.
Sergeant White said he realised something was wrong when the father became frantic and yelled out to the officers for help.
The father, carrying the baby who had turned blue in his arms, got into the police car which then headed to the Western General Hospital.
While driving to the hospital, Sergeant White instructed the father on how to carry out CPR and Constable Campbell maintained the child's airway.
As the police car pulled up to the ambulance entry, the boy began breathing and was rushed inside.
The baby is now back to full health.
Sergeant White and Constable Campbell met the family on Thursday in an emotional reunion.
"This result is the highlight of my 18 year career," Sergeant White said.
"This is why I joined Victoria Police, such a beautiful family and a great outcome."
Constable Campbell said the incident had reiterated to her why she joined the police force.
"It was great outcome for everyone and a real eye opener," Ms Campbell said.

Be sure to have a pocket full of dog treats when teaching your dog how to sit, stay, heel, or perform other similar commands. Make sure that the dog will find the CBD Dog treats in Sherman appetizing. Dried out, crummy, and bland CBD Pet treats will not make your dog want to train or whet his appetite and enthusiasm the same way a juicy piece of meat and sweet smelling cheese will.
CBD Pet treats in Sherman can be hard and chewy since they are supposed to clean the dog’s teeth. Some dog treats are meant to aid in digestion and improve the internal health of the dog. Veterinarians have come up with varied dog treats incorporated with various medicines for heartworm prevention, antibiotics, and pain killers.
Some dog owners make their own special dog treats. Homemade dog treats are either made from sliced pieces of steak, small bits of cooked hamburger, chunks of cheese, balls of rice, or even their own special recipes. These can either be CBD Pet Treats In Sherman. Some recipes even include molasses, wheat germ, and couscous. Owners should always check with a veterinarian before giving their pets these homemade treats. Remember never to give dogs chocolate not let them chew a chicken bone.

1. Can Visumdienst arrange visas for everyone?
No, unfortunately we can not. We can arrange visas for Dutch people and residents of the Netherlands (and often for residents of other EU-countries), traveling abroad. We cannot do anything for foreigners intending to travel to The Netherlands. They have to apply for a visa at a Dutch consulate, and await their visa there before they can travel. People can also travel to The Netherlands with a valid Schengen visa issued by another Schengen state, provided they enter the Schengen area via the country that their visa was issued for. More information on Schengen visas can be found here.
On this website we mention the visa requirements for Dutch nationals. In most cases they are the same for Western European citizens. If you are of non-Dutch nationality you can check whether you need a visa or not on the KLM-website.
2. I am (living) in The Netherlands and want to travel to an European country.
A foreigner (if not visa-exempt) with a Schengen visa or a Dutch residence permit is, within the validity of his visa, entitled to unrestricted travel within the Schengen countries. These countries are Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. It also applies to the Canary Islands (Spain), the Azores and Madeira (Portugal).
Please Note: Great Britain and Ireland, although EU-member, are not part of the Schengen area, a separate visa is required for those who are not visa-exempt.
3. What kinds of visas can I apply for?
There are several types of visas. Firstly relating to the nature of the visit: business, tourism or private visit (to visit friends or relatives), secondly relating to the visa durations and the period within which the visa must be used. Regulations differ from country to country. Most visas are valid for a stay of up to three months and must be used within three months from the date of issue.
A multiple-entry visa (visa pour entrées multiples) is a visa that within its validity can be used multiple times, a single entry visa is only valid for one entry. Many countries only issue single entry visas. But these visas can often be extended or modified for a re-entry (e.g. after a visit to a neighbouring country) in the country itself.
Some countries also issue transit visas that can only be used to arrive in this country and then leave immediately to a neighbouring country. These transit visas are valid for a limited stay (usually up to three days).
Regulations for emigration are quite different from those for ordinary visas. If you intend to emigrate it is best to contact a specialized agency, If you have plans to permanently move to the United States, Canada, Australia or New Zealand you can contact Buysse Immigration Services or Emigration Office Hiltermann.
Some countriesare easier in issuing residence visas and permits, especcially when you want to invest iun the country concerned. The company Migronis can give you the right advice.
4. For how long are visas valid?
Visas are usually valid for the period of intended stay. Most countries do not issue visas for more than three months. Please bear in mind that most visas should be used within three months after the date of issue. It is pointless to to apply for visas too long in advance: either they will already have expired by the time you get into the country of destination, or we have to hold the passports in custody until we can apply for the visas. People making long journeys will often have to apply for visas in a neighbouring country.
5. Are visas ever refused?
This rarely but occasionally does happen: a visa application may be refused if not all the requirements are fulfilled. The consular officer of the country concerned may decide not to issue a visa. In addition an applicant may get blacklisted in the relevant country. Journalists and (to a lesser extent) clergymen may also be faced with travelling restrictions. People with a refugee status are also refused in many countries. For these people –if not refused- application times may take (much) longer than usual.
6. Am I allowed to give my passport to someone else?
To meet a statutory obligation one may give his passport to another person. In case of a visa application it is a foreign legal obligation to hand over the passport.
Since 2005 every citizen from the age of 14 must be able to furnish proof of identity at all times, either by providing a passport, identity card or driving license. If we are holding your passport for a visa application, and you do not have a driving license or identity card, you are formally punishable by law. A photocopy of your passport is not a valid identity card within the meaning of the Act. But in practice we have not come across this problem as yet.
7. Is it safe to send my passport by registered mail?
The Dutch postal services (Post.nl) are reliable and fast. It is absolutely safe so send documents by registered mail. If you send a letter to our P.O.Box (postbus) from anywhere in The Netherlands we will probablly receive this letter the next morning by 08:00 hrs, or the following day. Sending a letter from abroad (within Western Europe) may take a few days, but longer from Belgium. In these cases it may be advisable to use a courier.
8. Can I apply for a visa without handing in my passport, but using a photocopy?
Except for tourist visas for Cuba and electronic visas that are nowadays issued by several countries, we do need the passport itself: consulates place a stamp or sticker in the passport. At a few embassies where a visa application takes a (very) long time it is sometimes possible to start the application with a copy of the passport. When finally the visa authorization eventually arrives we will still need the original passport.
9. The website provides enough information to apply for a visa directly at the consulate of the country concerned. Why should we use the services of the Visumdienst?
V&V Visumdienst checks visa applications before submitting them to a consulate. We know all the procedures and exception rules. If something is not completely in order we ensure the information to be adjusted, if necessary after consultation by phone or email. You will at least have the assurance that the application is in good order and will be processed with the necessary speed. And you can rest assured that your visa will be ready in time.
10. Couldn't we come to the Visumdienst and await our visas?
No, you can not. We do not issues visas, but obtain them from the consulates concerned. This cannot be done on the spot. Of course you are welcome during business hours to hand in and/or retrieve the documents.
11. Why are not all application forms published on the website?
In those cases where no application form can be downloaded the embassy only accepts the original application forms, no copies. These can be obtained from us, we will send them upon request.
12. Could the Visumdienst complete the forms?
No, we can not. It is Important for all applications to be completed in full. We do not know all the details. Moreover, all application forms must be signed personally by the applicant.
13. Why do countries ask these absurd questions?
Indeed some questions in visa applications may seem irrelevant. Such as the name of your mother, or your religion, etc. Please answer these questions anyway. Apparently these answers are important for these countries, otherwise they would not be asked. If you do not answer these questions your application might be delayed or even refused.
14. I can not read the application form because I do not know the language.
Regularly we get this question, especially when the application in French. Nevertheless the form has to be filled up in that particular language. So please find some help.
15. The invoice is higher than it was published on on the website was. Why?
This website gives general information, suited in almost all cases, Nevertheless it might happen that higher charges are calculated because the consulate charged more (especially in emergencies), or that additional consent should be acquired form the home country. It may also be that we are at the last moment to decide to switch to a courier for the documents in time for the passenger to get. In an emergency we try in all cases prior to dispatch more contact with the person concerned, but if that fails and we know that the person must leave the next day we sometimes have no other choice but to send the passport by courier to Schiphol Airport (or another address) to make sure that the journey can continue. That is why it is important that you give us the exact travel dates and a phone number where we can reach you And if you haven’t received your passport three days before departure, it might make sense that you contact us.
16. My trip is cancelled, can I recover money for the visas?
If you already got the visa we can do nothing any more in any case, you cannot claim the charges. You can try to claim it on your travel insurance. If the visa has just been applied for we might be able to withdraw it free of charge. But all cases are different: we usually have to pay upon deposit and there is no refund possible, but sometimes we manage. In any case we will charge all the costs that we already made.
17. I have to postpone my trip but I already have a visa, what next?
Some countries issue visa that have to be used within two, three or six months after date of issue. Other visas are valid from date X to date Y. It is purely depending on the issuing country if the old visa can still be used. If a visa is expired, a new visa must be applied for, that of course has to be paid for.
18. I want to emigrate. Who can help me?
The application of emigration visas is quite different from regular visas: this procedure has to be started in the country of destination. These are difficult and lengthy procedures. There are specialized agencies such as Buysse Immigration Services. Please contact them. You can also contact Migronis.
19. On departure from the United States the (green) card was still in my passport. What should I do?
That could cause problems at your entry into the U.S. Click here for the solution.
20. What about the health risks and vaccinations do I need?
This website only gives general information on vaccination requirements, and whether there is malaria risk in a particular area. We are not qualified to give detailed information. In all cases it is advisable to inform the local GG & GD, Your doctor, or on the Internet via www.lcr.nl or www.tripprep.com. By phone you can get information from the National Vaccination line: 0900-9584, KLM Travel Clinic: 0900-1091096, or the Travel Clinic of the Rotterdam Havenziekenhuis: 0900-5034090. You must remember that certain vaccinations have a deadline of 10 days between vaccination and immunity.
If you booked a last-minute trip and you need vaccinations for that destination you might be refused because your injections are not yet valid!
22. What souvenirs can I bring back from abroad?
Dutch customs regulations can be found on http://www.douane.nl/.
23. I have questions about a particular country, do you have information?
Regularly we get this question, but the answer is no. We run a visa service, not a country information service. Many countries have a tourist office (you can find the addresses on this website at the particular country), and much information is available on the various country pages on the Internet.
24. What risks do I run when travelling abroad?
People must be aware that travelling abroad could be risky, if not dangerous. Of course we know quite a lot about the problems that may be encountered, but we are not specialist. If you need any advice in this matter, either private or corporate, you could contact Argos Security, specialists in risk management.

Kansas City law firm Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP is rolling along on a string of high-profile cases and settlements that its partners think stem from a business plan hatched 10 years ago.
That model - representing business plaintiffs almost entirely on a contingency basis - was not common when the firm started a decade ago. But partner Norm Siegel said the dour economy has made the practice more attractive. Contingency fee cases normally are the province of personal injury suits, where an individual may not have the money to pay a lawyer's hourly fee, and so the plaintiff agrees to let the lawyer collect a percentage of a settlement or verdict.
"When you're paid by the hour, you can actually make more money by losing a case slowly than by winning quickly because pay is only a function of hours," Siegel said in an e-mail. "In our model, our interests are aligned with our clients' - which is often the light bulb moment for a CEO or general counsel considering this arrangement for the first time."
Teresa Woody, a former Stueve Siegel Hanson partner, said contingency fees can appeal to business plaintiffs for the same reason they appeal to individuals.
"It can be a way for them to get representation and try to get something the way they want without hourly fees, which is a help to entrepreneurial companies or businesses that are not able to pay business litigation rates," she said.
Woody left the firm in 2007 to start The Woody Law Firm PC, which emphasizes representing individuals.
Stueve Siegel Hanson generates 30 percent to 40 percent of its revenue from class-action work, about 10 percent from hourly defense work and the remainder from business plaintiff work.
The firm normally collects 30 percent to 35 percent of a verdict or settlement, and as much as 45 percent if the case goes through trial and multiple appeals.
Stueve Siegel Hanson represents Kansas State University in its effort to invalidate a contract with former football coach Ron Prince that was struck by former Athletic Director Bob Krause, unbeknownst to the school's administration.
The firm helped strike a $19.4 million settlement with H&R Block Inc. in May to end a class action alleging that the company misled consumers in the marketing of its Express IRA product.
Plaintiff firms got about $6 million. Class-action members stood to make back program fees paid to their Express IRA plus 5 percent annual interest.
H&R Block spokesman Gene King said in an e-mail that the company was pleased to have resolved the matter. The settlement does not imply wrongdoing by H&R Block.
