An inhuman conflict is destroying Yemen, where two-thirds of the people are in need of humanitarian aid or protection to survive. The conditions are worsening so fast that it could come to the point of no coming back. The humanitarian community has asked US $2.1 billion for 2017 to cover Yemen’s most crucial needs. However, by mid-April, only 15% of this claim had been funded. 1.

Are sensitive, empathic, intelligent people, predisposed to social anxiety, and taking on the energy of others more prone to anxiety, drug and alcohol addictions, and mental health disorders, or do they bear a highly rare, psychic gift? The answer might be both. From recent scientific research, it turns out that the empathic, sensitive mind is more prone to mental health disorders because they are more in tune with what is going on around them. These people aren’t “crazy,” as many articles would like us to believe, but   anxiously searching for an answer to subtle psychic cues they take in from their environment – sometimes around the clock, seven days a week . Considering the many modes of mind control currently being used on the population to alter their emotional states – from  Artificial Intelligence , to  alien implants , and even military industrial experiments  that have proven to interact with our nervous system and brain – is it any wo...

This is a beautifully animated video acting out a well articulated section of Dr Brené Brown’s lecture on the difference between an empathetic and a sympathetic response from the RSA. the video neatly wraps up a difficult subject to pinpoint the consequences of both responses. Empathy is the ability to place yourself in someone else’s shoes and understand relate as best as you can to how that person feels in the situation. The trait of being able to express this feeling and understanding it is the second tier of empathy. Another response to hearing another person’s problem is to express sympathy. Sympathy is the ability to express ‘culturally acceptable’ condolences to anothers plight.

We not only have to actively listen to another person’s problem without judgement but then be honest with...

Life can frequently be unfair, and one such example is the fact that most of us just love sugar, though it is harmful to our health. The taste of sweets is simply irresistible, but at the moment you realize the effects of sugar on you, you will undoubtedly try to stay away from it as much as you can. The signs below indicate that you absorb too much sugar, and it is necessary time to do something about: 1. Cravings for Sugar/Carbs You are apparently a sugar addict if you regularly desire something sweet. Sugar causes addiction, and its consumption drives to a chain reaction of sugar yearnings. 2. Lack of energy and tiredness If you are always feeling tired and you lack energy, you are presumably consuming too much sugar. Foods with lots of sugar temporarily boost the power, and afterwards, you are experiencing a crash, and you remain tired throughout the day. 3. Weight Gain Sugar is free of fiber and protein, that's why it does not point to a feeling of satiety. T...
