At the news of rising unemployment in Europe and North America it's difficult not to feel compassion for those experiencing the effects; the stress of their lives being tipped upside down; families struggling, employment worsening and youth with energy to burn but nowhere constructive to work it off.
It's during these times when discontent emerges, bringing with it riots and crime. Right now, in different parts of Europe, people are hurting badly; tension is building; families, schools, and businesses are being disrupted as a consequence and future prospects are vanishing before the eyes. It is at times like this that the need for strong leaders is most critical.
Unfortunately, the vast majority is too close to what is happening to be objective; when leaders are forced to make unpleasant decisions for the future of their country, reactions can be volatile. Greece, Italy, Ireland; all are experiencing trouble. Forget who and what is to blame; their governments now have the unenviable task of hauling their country back into the black.
So what's the answer? Is it possible to avoid the violence and hurt and longer term failure and find a better way?
For change to happen there must be agreement; to rise above current problems and avert dire predictions, peoples need to pull together. It is not the responsibility of any government to shoulder change on its own; its citizens, to reach a common goal of success and prosperity for their country and subsequently themselves, need an attitude of one-for-all and all-for-one, and the preparedness to cooperate for the common goal of turning the current economic climate around.
It won't be easy; in fact, let's be real; it will be downright hard. But what are the alternatives? What is likely to occur if the situation is left to continue unchecked?
A breakdown of society as we know it? Mass depression? Wide-spread poverty? Increasing crime? The results, if left to carry on with the status quo, could be horrific and the hardships for the current and future generations, much more difficult to overcome and contain.
The answer? I wish I knew; but one thing I do know is that when people work together for a common cause, they will generally overcome.

What We Eat Affects Our Vision
Most of us may not have even considered that what we eat affects your vision, but it does. Foods that are rich in certain nutrients and vitamins help to improve our eyesight, while those that are high in fats or are processed can damage it. Given that simply adding or omitting certain foods can help you to avoid a number of eye conditions without using chemicals or surgery to repair your vision, it's worth changing your diet to improve your vision.
The Foods that Help Our Vision. There are a number of foods which can positively affect your vision. Here is a brief list of the foods that are essential for eye health.
• Salmon contains high levels of vitamins A and D, as well as Omega-3 fatty acids. Not only can these elements help to boost your eye health, but they can also improve brain function.
• Dark chocolate, due to its antioxidants and flavanoids, which protect blood vessels found within the eye, aid in overall eye health. Make sure to eat chocolate bars that contain at least 60% cocoa, however, as you will gain the most benefit from these.
• Leafy green vegetables, such as spinach and broccoli, aid in eye health with antioxidants that they contain. As steaming them will allow for them to lose vital vitamins and nutrients, make certain to eat them fresh whenever possible.
• Carrots contain beta-carotene, which has been shown to increase the health of your eye, and help to alleviate certain eye conditions. Sweet potatoes and pumpkin also boast beta-carotene power, so you can eat those instead if you carrots aren't to your liking.
• Eggs contain protein, Vitamin B, and zinc, which ensure improved vision. You can eat them fried, scrambled, or boiled to get the benefit from them, but be sure to eat the yoke as well.
• Garlic, surprisingly, is another great eye health booster. Sulfur is found within it, which aids in the strength of the lenses of your eyes. Eating garlic fresh is best, so that you receive all the benefits it has to offer.
The Foods that Hinder Our Vision. Recent studies have shown that foods that are high in sugars, such as certain candies or various other sweets, can hinder your vision and increase the risk of being diagnosed with several eye ailments, such as macular degenaration. Also, foods that are highly processed or contain preservatives can cause inflammation and deplete the vitamins you have already stored. In addition, caffeine can negatively affect your vision as well, due to the fact that it has the ability to undo all of the good work you've done for your eyes, by ridding the body of the crucial nutrients and minerals that your otherwise healthy diet had gathered.
Maintaining and balanced and nutritious diet is key to keeping your eyes healthy and staving off eye conditions and ailments. By eating right, you can improve your vision naturally, as well as keep your body in tip-top shape.

Anxiety & Stress Management
http://stress4less.wordpress.com/Hi! how are you feeling today?
Do you have panic or anxiety attacks? Do you suffer from broken nights' sleep, waking up in those dark hours with frightening thoughts and unspoken fears? Perhaps you are stressed out and, by early afternoon, tired out and ready to flop?
Let me tell you some of my story. A few year ago things started to go wrong in my business. First, one of my minor clients went bust owing me big money and, within a month, another client went the same way, to be followed only weeks later by my biggest client going into receivership owing me many more thousands of dollars.
The stress was unbearable. My company was unable to meet its debtors payments and, to make matters worse, two of my staff were suing me for unfair dismissal. My lawyers advised me to put the company in liquidation and avoid paying the debts but that's not who I am. My father taught me never to run away from my responsibilities so, these were my debts, and I knew I had to pay them off.
The months following were hell, living on the edge, making arrangements to pay debt, stress mounting by the day. I remember wondering if it was wiser to do as my lawyer suggested but I knew that wasn't the answer. I was determined to pay what I owed but I also knew if I could not control my stress level it was going to destroy me and then how was I going to meet my obligations?
I knew the answers were out there and, in fact, some I already had. But there were others I needed to find and so I threw myself into research and, after several months, I finally cracked it. I knew I had found the tools I needed to control the anxious thoughts that kept me awake at night and keep stress to a minimum. In fact it helped me through the darkest period of my life when all else paled in comparison. At the end of that same year, when I thought nothing could get worse, my two year old grandson was brutally killed and all that had gone before seemed like nothing.
The trauma I and my family experienced and the subsequent lessons I hunted down and learned has changed me and my family. I know now there is an answer for each of us and my aim is to share the things I discovered with as many others as possible so that they too can learn the magic of living a stress-free life.
