What privacy? – Part 2 This was for jottr.ai, a very new news curation app which, at the time of writing, is still so new it’s only available for iOS devices … while they’re still working on an Android version. The objective here was to get readers used to the idea that total online privacy no longer exists. (I also wrote Part 1, which is available to read at https://medium.com/jottr-ai/privacy-what-privacy-58bb49953495) How to cut the cost of working your long list by phone This was for nett-sales, a marketing company that bases its strategy on starting conversations between businesses and their prospects. The objective here was to show the difference between old-style telemarketing (which I used to do, but hated) and today’s conversation-starter style of marketing (which I do, and love). A free and open internet … but for how long? This was for perfect-layout, a web design agency. For a while, the internet world was worried that America would not only shut down websites merely suspected of copyright infringement in America, but would also do that around the world – all in the name of protecting us from web piracy. Privacy? What privacy? – Part 2 Not so long ago, we looked into the idea of privacy or, to be more precise the lack of it these days, especially when it comes to the personal information gathered from our online transactions. And, with the recent news that it's possible just for the battery in your cellphone - forget the phone itself - to track you around the internet, it would appear that the concept of online privacy is fast becoming just that: a mere concept. That being said, there are definite advantages to being able to dip in and out of that multi-billion-gigabyte candy box of online content: we recently heard of somebody visiting a website and finding a reference to someone who had been very kind to them some decades previously. He ran a search on the name, found their contact details and sent an email (in Norwegian, thanks to Google Translate) to thank them for their kindness all those years ago. You can't do that with a phone book and a copy of the Yellow Pages. Read that last sentence out loud to a Generation C (for "Connected") and you'll most likely get a response along the lines of "Phone book? Huh?" or "Yellow? Pages? WTF?" - that's progress for you. And yes it is: to anyone in Generation C, an online device is simply another improved, further-reaching form of input/output in addition to the standard-issue vocal cords and ears we're supplied with at birth. And, like young people of any generation you care to name, Generation C are born in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and amounts of reserve and spontaneity. Those with a certain amount of reserve don't ignore social media (well, it is all about "social", after all) but think before they post, in case whatever they're uploading comes back and bites them later on. And that, for them, is automatic. On the other hand, those with fewer inhibitions like, say, young Carter Reynolds and his ex, Maggie (who we referred to in a previous article) have no qualms whatsoever about famously breaking up and then bickering online. They're happy to bare their souls to whoever follows them, on whatever social medium they choose to use, thereby raising their online profile even higher than it was before thanks to Vine, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube et al. We have seen the future, and it is Carter and Maggie. If they do get back together and breed, Generation C+1 won't be interesting to take time out to watch – even if we do feel that way inclined - because we’re not going to have any choice in the matter. They will be everywhere, virtually speaking. Returning to the present, Carter and Maggie represent the growing tribe of people who don't take privacy for granted in any context - and soon enough they will both be old enough to have their own credit cards, if they aren't already. They'll make online and real-world purchases using those cards without caring in the least how much information is gleaned about them from those transactions (and perhaps the battery levels in their cellphones) because that's how they've grown up. They don't know any different. They've also grown up online and connected, digitally speaking, to anyone in the world who wants to connect - and again, they don't know any different. But for those of us who do know the difference, and have an inkling of what privacy used to be, it's not so easy. In fact, it's downright disturbing: who's got what information about each of us - and what are they doing with it? Perhaps that's why President Obama's campaign platform pledge of the "Most Transparent and Accountable Administration in History" helped him into office. After all, the government of any country now has all kinds of access to all kinds of information about its citizens, and who knows what use it's being put to? On the other hand, transparency does work quite well the other way round, too: back in 2009, the UK government lost more than fifty of its number who were caught out fiddling their expenses, claiming for anything from a 99-cent chocolate Santa Claus to the cleaning of the moat around their ancestral home, which was considerably more expensive. Funding for all of this came, of course, from the public purse and caused national outrage until those fifty-plus decided, in standard UK politicspeak, to "spend more time with their family". So transparency does work both ways: if the data is there, it can definitely be used constructively. For example, the NYC BigApps competition gives contestants access to over 1300 datasets - both public and private - so they can create an app that makes life better for New Yorkers. It's just a question of mining and then using that data appropriately - whether it's listing purchases that shouldn't have been put on expenses, or presenting the most relevant information to those requesting it in the most timely manner. Those of us still concerned about the amount of information collected about us, whether we want to give it out or not, have to face one very important fact: barring an Electro-Magnetic Pulse which would effectively destroy any digital infrastructure anyway, that data collection is never going to stop.

    Mark F. Dodich ASTROMARK PO Box 16267 Portland, OR 97292-0267 USA 503- 252-1558 www.astromark.us [email protected] Astrology and Intuitive Consultations since 1980 ENHANCING YOUR PROSPERITY CONSCIOUSNESS This prosperity sampler is filled with ideas to help you expand your consciousness into larger dimensions of Universal Abundance. Pick and choose the ideas that work for you and release the rest. I offer this treatise as a thank you for all who have supported me in my personal growth and service, endeavoring to share that which has served me so well. Although I have been doing astrology professionally since 1980, I have only been doing it as my full time, primary source of income since 1995. Prior to that, I was an industrial sales representative. Those corporate jobs had a base salary that covered the basic monthly bills with commission incentives that provided a comfortable lifestyle. A tremendous transformation of my prosperity consciousness was required for me to go from the safety net of having at least a base salary to making it full time on my own. “DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND THE PROSPERITY WILL FOLLOW” is what everyone told me before I left the corporate world to be a self-employed astrologer. They made it sound so simple. All those well-intentioned people forgot to tell me about all the internal fears and processing I would have to go through so that I could do what I love and prosper. I can tell you now that all that processing was worth the considerable time and effort.

I find myself pondering the concept of giving thanks and of how easy it is to do so when the table is laden with delicious food and atmosphere joyous. Then I have to ask, “What if…the table held a frugal dinner, the atmosphere one of uncertainty and fear. Would I still be able to ‘give thanks’?” It’s at that point that it’s important to revisit who I am, what my purpose is, and what resources are needed to bring that purpose and me into full manifestation.

  • Prosperity Is It Possible?
    PROSPERITY IS IT POSSIBLE? By REV. DANIEL RAY LANDIS A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF METAPHYSICAL SCIENCE, M.Msc. On behalf of the Department of Graduate Studies of the University of Metaphysics This thesis has been accepted by ___________________________________ Thesis Supervisor ___________________________________ IMM PRESIDENT June 28, 2017 Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to Jacqueline Cochrane my beloved Life Partner, without whom this thesis would not have been possible. i Table of Contents Introduction…………………………………………………1 Review of Literature…….……………………………..……5 Discussion…………………………………………...…..….15 Conclusion…………………………………………….....…19 Works Cited………………………………………..…….…23 i Introduction I grew up in a Mennonite family in Lancaster, PA. My father was the Bishop of the largest Mennonite conference. Most of my relatives were Mennonite dairy farmers. Mennonites at that time worked hard to be separate from society. I had begun to read about people that believed you could affect your destiny and increase your prosperity by the use of the mind. This Thesis will investigate these teachings that have been available for centuries that helped people create prosperity out of thin air. It will demonstrate what has worked coming from the Bible and was integrated into the teachings of New Thought authors that had proven to be effective for creating prosperity. These teachings were radical to me as I came from a religion that required women to have their hair covered at all times and the men and women to sit on opposite sides of the church. The church was the central focus of the Mennonite culture and I was taught that blessings or curses happened because of an arbitrary God that decided whether I was good or bad.

  • AMERICAN Mstorlcal PORTRAITS in CURRENCY and ECONOMICS
    AMERICAN mSTORlCAL PORTRAITS IN CURRENCY AND ECONOMICS GEORGE WASHINGTON ADAM SMITH U.S. ONE DOLLAR BILL ECONOMIST AND PHILOPHER 1723-1790 Tracing the principal ofALL-Sufficiency The concept of all-sufficiency was a building block of essentially all philosophical and religious system (in the original form) until the second century A.D. when the war against self-knowledge and self-reliance began. The ancients taught that to understand one's self was to understand God, and through the process of meditation, one could release the divine energy front within and transmute discord into harmony, ignorance into wisdom, fear into love, and lack into abundance. The initiate was trained to conceive the highest and noblest ideas as the vision for manifestation, and then to identify the symbols of the vision with the Master Spirit within - Source of all. Students of the Mysteries were also instructed in the use of the innate radiatory and magnetic power in exercising dominion. By working with the rhythmic Energy of self, whatever form that was needed for exchange (the legal tender of that time) was brought forth as instrument of goodwill. As such, "money" was simply a token of appreciation of one's service, a symbol of love and integrity. Regardless of the level of instruction, one particular teaching remained constant throughout the initiation process: Mind and emotions embodying love, gentleness, and peace eliminated limitation - that such a consciousness of harmlessness freed an individual from the bonds and restrictions of the race thought. They Mystery School of Asia, Egypt, Persia, and Greece provided an invaluable service to humankind by reawaking the spiritual powers in a core group of dedicated men and women.

FOREWORD Have you ever seen one of those movies like The Matrix or Mission Impossible, where one character has an incredible knack for doing something like hacking a computer, something that seems superhuman? It’s a reflection of the world we live in, where some people are amazing artists, some people can sing songs like no others, and others can design the Internet or rockets to go to the moon. Some people can dunk or run faster than any other. Perhaps you believe, as is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, that “all men are created equal”? Or more accurately, “all people are created equal” when you take into account the 51 percent of humans who are women. It’s not true. We have equal rights, yet some people are wired to be exceptional in a special way.
