Are We in Recession

Are we in recession? That may be a stupid question to ask now but yes we have been for more than 2 consecutive quarters.

What makes this recession difference from the one we experienced in 2000 is the fact that there were a lot of factors which were never there before. Eight years ago, this was attributed to the collapse of the dot-com bubble, the September 11 attacks and the accounting scandal.

This time around, we can blame it on high oil prices, global inflation, a credit crisis which lead to the bankruptcy of some of the most established banks, increased unemployment, and the housing crisis.

So what do you we see? There are a lot of employees who are jobless, people are forced to sell or foreclose their homes, credit markets are frozen making it impossible for businesses and consumers to get a loan and government intervention is needed to try and prevent things from getting worse.

Attunement process of reiki

صورة
  The Attunement Process of Reiki Most reiki practitioners allow the energy of Reiki to flow through their hands and into the patient they are working on at the time. It is an attachment to the Universal Life Force that they are accessing to bring this healing power to people. As the practitioner goes through the many attunements for each level of Reiki, they will also learn the symbols that are drawn and repeated for maximum healing. Each level has its own symbols.      Each attunement received by the student raises them to a higher frequency.

Baby boomers age expected norms

baby boomers age expected norms The Expected Norms for the Current Age of Baby Boomers The era of the Baby Boomers generation can be recalled to have started in 1946; a year after the World War II has ended. So in today's generation, these Baby Boomers are expected to be in their 60s and below, and some of them are soon to retire. Hence, with the age that they are in now, these Baby Boomers tend to demand for a healthier lifestyle to offset the diseases that may possibly occur to an aging person. One of the expected norms practiced by the Baby Boomers today is a regular fitness and exercise regimen, including a healthy diet with healthy supplements.

Baby boomers and rvs

Baby Boomers And RVs   Central Florida has to be the RV capital of the world. If not, then it has to be right up there near the top. The great exodus from the north happens in late fall much like the migration of birds. Thus the term snowbirds was coined. Since the baby boomers have hit retirement age, things have really exploded. Had I been looking ahead, I would have jumped into the RV business years ago. The classified ads are full of RVs for sale, RV lots for sale, used RVs for sale, and RV parks for sale. Wait a minute; did I say RV parks for sale? Maybe I should check this one out. The baby boomers spend more on themselves than their parents ever did. Their parents were survivors of the Great Depression and World War Two. Their goal was saving money not spending it. There was always the possibility of another depression in the back of their minds. This baby boomer generation, including myself, goes on the idea that you only live once and you may as well enjoy it. Baby boomers hav
