France Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage

The Washington Post France will see its first gay weddings within days, after French President Francois Hollande signed a law Saturday authorizing marriage and adoption by same-sex couples and ending months of nationwide protests and wrenching debate. Hollande’s office said he signed the bill Saturday morning, a day after the Constitutional Council struck down a challenge to the law and ruled it in line with France’s constitution. Hollande, a Socialist, had made legalizing gay marriage one of his campaign pledges last year. While polls for years have shown majority support for gay marriage in France, adoption by same-sex couples is more controversial. The parliamentary ...

How to Be In The Moment Consciously vs. Mentally

  CollectiveEvolution We hear a lot about ‘being in the moment’ and enjoying the NOW, but what does this actually mean? It seems as though there is a difference between understanding any given concept at the mind level versus truly putting it into practice at the level of being. So I thought why not simplify it all and run through some tips on how to achieve this? When it comes to “being in the moment.” Often times, when we claim or attempt to be in the moment, we can more so be focused on one thing mentally which we mistake for being truly ...

Don’t Control Anger, Control Yourself

TinyBuddha “Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.” ~Ambrose Bierce I once had a much-cherished friend who meant the world to me. The problem was that we were both short-tempered individuals and the word patience was fictional to both of us. There is a thin line separates right from wrong and when one is blinded by anger; it can be near impossible to see this line. Invariably, my friend and I kept crossing it and ended up destroying what was one of the most beautiful bonds anybody could ever have. One day in a fit of anger we ...

How Do Vitamins, Herbs, Supplements, Or Medications Affect My Spiritual Progress?

In5d               Do you find that even high-quality supplements and medications don’t help your system as much as they seem to help others? Do 'healthy' products appear to cause more side effects than benefits for you or fail to work after a short period of time? If you consider yourself 'hypersensitive', empathic, intuitive, and/or 'on a spiritual path', then it is very likely that your genetics, including higher personal frequencies, make your body function differently than most of the population. As a result, your approaches to supplements and medications also need to be different or fine-tuned from the typical recommendations of Eastern, ...

3 Principles for Accepting Yourself and Being Authentically Happy

Paul Dalton/TinyBuddha “Happiness is really a deep harmonious inner satisfaction and approval.” ~Francis Wilshire It is only in the last few years of my life that I have felt genuinely happy and comfortable in my own skin. Until my early thirties the dominant feeling I carried around with me was one of extreme social awkwardness. Which is strange, because most people who knew me prior to that time would have described me as a confident guy who got on with just about everybody. I’m aware that outwardly I was very skilful at presenting a positive and socially pleasing demeanor, while on the inside feeling anxious ...

Study Finds Marijuana Buffers Against Negative Psychological Effects of Social Exclusion

TheRawStory Research published online May 14 in Social Psychological and Personality Science has uncovered that marijuana buffers people from experiencing social pain. “Prior work has shown that the analgesic acetaminophen, which acts indirectly through CB1 receptors, reduces the pain of social exclusion. The current research provides the first evidence that marijuana also dampens the negative emotional consequences of social exclusion on negative emotional outcomes,” Timothy Deckman of the University of Kentucky and his colleagues wrote in the study. The four-part study, which included a total of 7040 participants and three methodologies, was based on previous research that found an overlap between physical and social pain. ...

Butcher Feeds Marijuana To Pigs To Create True High-Quality Meat

HuffPost Butcher William Von Schneidau at Pike Place Market. This is what they meant by pot-bellied pig! We're getting high on the hog of BB Ranch butcher William von Schneidau, who feeds marijuana to his pigs and sells them at Seattle's Pike Place Market. SeattleMet reports that Schneidau adds "weed to the feed" -- yes, the stems, stalks and seeds -- to give his meat a more savory flavor. The "pot pigs" are partly a celebration of Washington voters passing a pot-legalization initiative late last year, MSN reports. But they're also a real culinary experiment. Schneidau says the pot plants add fiber to the pigs' diets, which makes ...

Increase In Solar Flares Threaten Power Grid

  OffTheGridNews Solar flare activity has increased significantly in recent days. There have been a total of four X Class solar flares since Mother’s Day last Sunday. While none of the coronal mass ejections (CME) were Earth-directed, NOAA now expects the active region to be facing Earth by this weekend. The first X Class solar flares of 2013 went largely unnoticed by the mainstream media. If just one of the CMEs had been directed at Earth, the power grid would likely have gone down, ended life as we know it, and resembled a scene from Rob Underhill’s award-winning The Carrington Event series. The solar flare which occurred on May ...

An Even Bigger Scandal: Why Are IRS Audits Being Used To Punish Obama’s Political Enemies?

TheEconomicCollapse Is it right for Barack Obama to use IRS audits to punish his political enemies?  As crazy as that sounds, there is a mounting body of evidence that indicates that this is actually happening.  And if this can be proven, it is a much, much larger scandal than the IRS giving "extra scrutiny" to the applications of conservative non-profit groups.  Let me be clear - if Barack Obama has been using IRS audits to punish his political enemies, that is an impeachable offense.  Of all of the other scandals that are out there right now, this is the one that could actually ...

New App Lets You Boycott Koch Brothers, Monsanto And More By Scanning Your Shopping Cart

Forbes Buycott shows you a product's corporate family tree while you shop. In her keynote speech at last year’s annual Netroots Nation gathering, Darcy Burnerpitched a seemingly simple idea to the thousands of bloggers and web developers in the audience.

Alien Nation: Have Humans Been Abducted by Extraterrestrials?

What Phone Companies are Doing With all That Data From Your Phone

Cell phones have become prolific data engines  MyScienceacademy Cell phones are so many things now–computer, map, clock, calculator, camera, shopping device, concierge, and occasionally, a phone. But more than anything, that little device that never leaves your person is one amazingly prolific data engine. Which is why last October, Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S, carrier with almost 100 million customers, launched a new division called Precision Market Insights. And why, at about the same time, Madrid-based Telefonica, one of the world’s largest mobile network providers, opened its own new business unit, Telefonica Dynamic Insights.
