Well, love them or hate them but tailing them is not Net Neutrality ;)

While the article talks about big pharma, we can solve this specific parasite issue by switching to another approach: Traditional Chinese medicine. At $60/week per tea made of 8-12 ingredients one can completely expel parasites from the body in a few weeks. Of course, big pharma never makes that known or even knows about it themselves. People in rural areas of East Asia certainly do.
Re:Rejecting a candidate for over-qualification results in age bias

So there could be a few more possibilities why an overqualified person is willing to accept the job. Maybe a burnout if very high pace high pressure work, could nsulting including. Perhaps chilling at the slower paced company is perfect for him or her. If so why would he leave? I have known plenty of folks who a really really want to mentor and contribute their experience from decades of consulting, but not necessarily go back to doing it. Why not take advantage of the fact. Also, from the employer's perspective give him or her opportunity to do something else when the jobbia done and there's time to spare. Opensource contribution on the clock, presales tasks maybe,speaking at conferences, mentorship. Who cares as long as his job is done, he feels needed and can find other things to do to not be bored. Does not take a lot to manage a self starter.

Ignorance and scepticism are a double edge sword. The problem is absence of curated information. The fact that she believed in how homeopatic medicine worked, or that he believed in aura cleansing, has nothing to do with the capability of the method itself, but with the source of knowledge for the carrier of the method. There are alternative medicine that work wonders, there are concepts of aura. The application of the method is wrong: non physical nature of the aura concept presented via foreign means to the method itself: a device. Or, the context is wrong: general immune system boost with alternative medicine will also cover the fact that her organism could fight off a specific case of infection. While she is ignorant in why that might have worked, I would not equate the method with the application of the method in your post.
Re:Guided meditation for beginners
on Tuesday January 31, 2017 @04:11PM (#13535270)
A couple of things:
If you want to learn meditation find yourself a teacher who will be able to guide you with your specific and personal needs, advantages and deficiencies in focus, character and views on outside world and on yourself, through this process. We are never taught what meditation is and how to do it right. None of the sources mention such important pre-requsite as understanding of human energy movement in breathing, human energy anatomy and physiology. So if you want to play with meditation is one thing, doing thing right will mean you have to have guidance.
Second, As Salvador Dali said: don't be afraid of perfection, you will never reach it. Blank minds is a good but also a very hard and advanced concept beginner meditators will most likely not reach. It is very hard for the uninitiated person (by previous karma or other spiritual training) who is used to focus attention on outward to be able to go inward, let along still the mind. The best way is to distract your mind from 'uncomfortable' nothingness with count while you are doing breathing and visualization.
