Simple and Honest

Updated 04 Feb 2012 6:27 pm ET by meyer4m.blogspot.com

A clean lifestyle free from clutter. An honest and simple life without addictive substances. Sometimes it seems like divine intervention of sorts but when the world aligns a certain way peace of mind prevails.

2001 - 2011: The Lost Decade

Updated 13 Oct 2011 04:02 p.m. ET by meyer4m.blogspot.com

The decade of 2001 to 2011 will probably be looked at as a lost decade for many. Economically stagnant and the major stock market indexes in North America were higher in the late 90s than today. It was a decade that started with George W. Bush and a vengeful American administration.

Personally the decade saw my quality of life shift significantly and remain there.

We may finally be able to look past this decade and move forward as a society and individually.

Time and Space

If time is like a piece of patterned fabric, then the fabric can be warped and the pattern can be predicted

Foresight is the ability to predict, or the action of predicting what will happen in the future.

About 44 per cent Canadians say they've coped with a mental health problem such as extreme stress, depression, substance abuse or schizophrenia, according to a survey that suggests employees aren't the only ones paying the price

The report, Building Mentally Healthy Workplaces, was released by the Conference Board of Canada today based on a national survey of more than 1,000 employees

In the survey, 12 per cent of respondents said they were currently experiencing a mental health issue and another 32 per cent said they'd faced one in the past

The report suggests more openness in discussing mental health in the workplace and training for managers

Thailand General Election 2011

Updated 19 Jun 2011 08:28 p.m. ET by meyer4m.blogspot.com

A general election will be held throughout Thailand on Sunday, 3 July, 2011.

Following the political crisis of 2005-2006 the People’s Power Party won a majority of seats in the parliament in 2007. Samak Sundaravej, party leader, became the 25th Prime Minister of Thailand.

On December 2, 2008, the People’s Power Party was dissolved due to alleged electoral fraud. This led to a series of demonstrations by Red Shirt protestors. As the protests grew, commerce in Bangkok ground to a halt. On April 10, 2010 the government attempted to disperse the protesters, leading to violent resistance where 27 protestors were killed and 800 wounded.

A November 14, 2010 election was agreed to in exchange for an end to the protests. Some protesters claimed that only the Election Commission had the authority to set a date for elections. Eventually the election date was set at July 3, 2011 by virtue of Royal Decree.
