Most companies struggle with the issue of free from each side. On one hand, we wish to find revolutionary methods of selling our services and products, but we must be careful to not devalue what we offer in the pursuit of new purchasers and prospects. We either consider within the worth of what we sell or we do not. If you value what you promote, draw that line within the sand and discover people who may even value it.

Still waiting for the Warnock runoff for a true majority, but it makes less difference now that the Republicans managed to take the House, so nothing good is likely to come to the floor in the next Congress for the Dem Sen... read more

Using rational thinking, how can anyone take the climate crisis seriously when: 1. There is NO empirical data (without cherry picked starting dates) supported with evidence, of a manmade climate change catastrophe. 2. Those who tell us to take it seriously show no evidence of taking it seriously. So concerned (not) about the impact of t... read more

New York Times Wonders Where Is Russia Getting All Of Their Missiles
*DNYUZ/New York Times*: *How Was Russia Able to Launch Its Biggest Aerial Attack on Ukraine?* The 96-missile barrage fired across Ukraine on Tuesday was Russia’s biggest aerial attack of the war so far. But it followed months of assertions by Western and Ukrainian officials that Moscow’s stockpile of missiles and other weapons was rapidly dwindling. Whether the assault on infrastructure targets was long planned, as Ukrainian commanders say they believe, or served as a deadly response to Kyiv’s recapture of the city of Kherson last week, the widespread attack raises questions ab... read more

Facets of Sanatana Dharma
The Seven Sages Depicted as the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper In the eyes of the ancient sages, there were no boundaries or physical and spiritual limits to Sanatana Dharma in any direction. They preached that space and time divide, but the divine unites—the universe is divided by infinite space and time, but human beings are united by their oneness with the divine. They saw the universe as an infinite expansion of time, space, mass, and energy. In the Vedic and Puranic texts that are more than 3000 years old, they have used extremely large numbers to express the distances of the... read more

Energy bills have skyrocketed by 96 percent since last winter, and rent has shot up by as much as 20 percent, while inflation—which currently stands at 12.3 percent—has been predicted to rise as high as 18 percent by the first few months of 2023.
