<p id="viewer-v3nrr26283" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">Eagles see and move past currencies to get their prey. Their senses are bonified because of the work put into their actions to be sharpened. Persistence, self-belief, trust yourself, eagles’ trust. So, it’s on the money that represents trust and freedom, like on the United States Currency; “In God We Trust.”</span></p>
</div>
<div data-breakout="normal">
<p id="viewer-dhc5126285" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">Lenny Kravitz has a song, “Fly like an eagle,” but to stay above the landscape of life, we must attain the ability to soar like an eagle without complaint, similar to the quacking of a duck. The eagle knows the direction he is going; on the right frequency, he gets there faster. Eagles don’t live by how they fly but by how they adapt and soar in collaboration with their extemporaneous environments.</span></p>
</div>
<div data-hook="rcv-block12">The term we humans call “eagle eye” comes to the aid of our winged hunters by helping them see where they are going with laser-sharp focus. Their nose is not only able to smell what they are after but also is masterfully sharpened to tame their prey. Their wings have their built-in intelligence to trust how to get from here to there and anywhere in between. Eagles, from a young age, get conditioned to harsh environments. Some conditions may raise awareness through failure during their endeavors. In turn, this causes an “Eagle eye” hunt with discipline and precision. In life, we can decide to make our own choices, or we can allow our circumstances to make us.</div>
<div data-breakout="normal">
<p id="viewer-s4ac426289" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">Both are used to the eagle’s detriment and survival. Not to mention the eagles’ other talented prowess that comes in the form of their death-dealing talons, that’s why eagles are the most dangerous and majestic creatures on earth. Human attention to detail is a practice in the discipline. Everything we have ever learned has brought awareness at the right time, and forgetting our mistakes brings us to the best outcome. Attitude is facing the right direction. Trial and error get us in the right direction.</span></p>

</div>
</div>
<div data-breakout="normal">
<p id="viewer-wucqa26299" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">A good attitude is paramount in every aspect of life. No matter how unfortunate or abundant it supports our wings to hit the right stride. The right attitude will allow us to be proactive with our lessons. We become stronger learners and add serene living when these lessons are adhered to and acted upon. Add up your lessons and count your achievements. A practice in controlling your attitude is allowing yourself to face your fears as it prepares you to be stronger during your struggles. We should never stop in what we love and always continue Boldy in our endeavors!</span></p>

<p id="viewer-1pjtl26308" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">The will of what we are determined to do comes from what we have the capacity to do. This type of self-efficacy abets us in our introspections and perceptions to arrive at what we seek. Our state of being must be a continuum of our personal rhythm. An intention or a goal must be employed. When you have a purpose, all goals are met, and all dreams are proclaimed. How we navigate allows us to go faster and further.</span></p>
</div>
<div data-breakout="normal">
<p id="viewer-fpu1d26310" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">American Author Melody Beattie said, “When you take a moment to look into your past, you will have peace in your today, which will, in turn, create clarity of a vision for your tomorrow.” You must take time to reflect on a better relationship with risks, enrich your rewards, and create joy in your moments of solitude. To get to a lighter attitude and accomplish your desires, you must create a discipline that silences your inner and outer chaos. To rise above it all is to understand how to create your calm. It&#8217;s nature’s hide and seek.</span></p>

<p id="viewer-r1daw26323" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">Raise your words and refine their tone because it puts good in the air for everyone to breathe. For me, in every breath taken that allows me to replenish my inner being, my attitude is filled with gratitude. Eventually, like breathing, that is an innate behavior when we are fixed on gratitude. Attitude for me is gratitude. The attitude in which we make our decisions can predict our conditions in life.</span></p>

<p id="viewer-54ocv26364" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">Attitude is precisely that- being able to rise above it all. This is a spiritual understanding and requires a mastery of oneself. It represents the highest form of consciousness, and individuals with this type of vibration resonate deeply with others. Their words hold power and are in harmonious sync with their intention of giving love. You possess that power too. Bolster the actions that speak volumes and triumph over the whispers of fear.

As the bible says, “There is life and death in the tongue.” The smallest part can harbor the largest results. It only requires a decision to believe in your unique ability to give to yourself and others unconditionally. You free up stagnancy when you are willing to let go of what’s not in your locus of control. We can decide how we are going to feel about a thing without being destructive in our behavior. We can feel emotion without ruining somebody else’s day. When we stay in a behavior that projects negativity it’s a burial where the only friend that comes out is pity. Everyone that participates is in the pity party. There is no inspiration in that! When you switch your intentions to positive priorities it opens a pathway to the tree of knowledge. Nurture your attitude and your garden will grow. Decide to eat good fruit and not be a casualty of ruined fruit.</span></p>

<p id="viewer-csvzh26380" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">The state of overcoming low frequency that the French call “ennui” is a feeling of weariness and dissatisfaction that combines boredom and tiredness. It can be caused by having nothing interesting to do, or by feeling like life is going nowhere. We finally get to start establishing joy and peace. If you ever said to yourself, “Why aren’t I happier in life” you are not alone. Surveys have shown that above 30% of people globally report feeling unhappy or struggling with mental well-being. The impact of unhappiness can be profound, affecting relationships, work, and overall quality of life. So, it’s great you have this article so you can create the value of owning your space. I’d like you to find comfort in the notion that when you lay the foundations of what we talked about above you will find success much less abundance at any door that you dream. Be precise in your actions to achieve more sooner than later. Now find yourself amongst the best of predators in achieving your best you. Ring-a-ding-ding. No more sleeping through your discontent because it’s Rise and Shine O’clock.</span></p>

<p>News Release                  Nov. 9, 2015</p>
<p>USCIS Will Host Naturalization Ceremonies to Honor Veterans and their Families</p>
<p>WASHINGTON—Veterans, service members and military spouses across the country will become U.S. citizens this week as they take the Oath of Allegiance at special Veterans Day naturalization ceremonies. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will highlight the sacrifices that military members and their families have made while serving our country. From Nov. 7-13, USCIS will welcome more than 10,000 new citizens in nearly 130 naturalization ceremonies across the country and around the world. Of those being naturalized, more than 255 are veterans, service members and military spouses.</p>
<p>Many current and former military members and their families are eligible for citizenship, including expedited screening and overseas processing, under special provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Since Oct. 1, 2001, when data collection on military naturalizations began, more than 109,000 service members have become U.S. citizens, including individuals serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, Germany, Japan and elsewhere. In 2015 alone, USCIS hosted nearly 175 naturalization ceremonies at military installations in the U.S. and abroad.</p>
<p>“On Veterans Day, we salute the men and women who have so courageously served our country and defended the freedoms that it was built upon. Among our brave veterans are thousands of immigrants, many of whom vowed to defend their new home even before they were citizens,” USCIS Director León Rodríguez said. “It is because of their extraordinary sacrifices, and those of their families, that we can enjoy the rights and liberties of living in this great country.”</p>
<p>USCIS has a robust military outreach program that provides information about immigration and naturalization to service members and veterans at military installations, Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals, universities and various military organizations. USCIS also has offices on multiple military installations, including Fort Benning, Georgia; Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; and Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. These offices identify recruits who may be eligible for naturalization.</p>
<p>USCIS’ Veterans Day activities this year will feature a naturalization ceremony at the USS Torsk and USS Constellation, located at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland, on Nov. 11. During this event, Dan Renaud, USCIS associate director for the Field Operations Directorate, will administer the Oath of Allegiance, and Sgt. Maj. Mercy A. Diez of the U.S. Army Band will be recognized as an Outstanding American by Choice.</p>
<p>Other ceremonies include events at:<br />
·         American Heroes Air Show in Orlando, Florida, on Nov. 7.<br />

&#8220;Over the next 100 days, let us stand with the millions of people across the world who are suffering the devastating impact of violence and conflict. Let us share ideas and plans for helping and supporting them in their time of dire need.&#8221;<br />
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon<br />
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.<br />
The theme of this year’s commemoration is “Partnerships for Peace – Dignity for All” which aims to highlight the importance of all segments of society to work together to strive for peace. The work of the United Nations would not be possible without the initial partnerships that were active in its creation and the thousands of partnerships each year between governments, civil society, the private sector, faith-based groups and other non-governmental organizations that are needed to support the Organization in achieving its future goals.<br />
The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by resolution 36/67  of the United Nations General Assembly to coincide with its opening session, which was held annually on the third Tuesday of September. The first Peace Day was observed in September 1982.<br />
In 2001, the General Assembly by unanimous vote adopted resolution 55/282 , which established 21 September as an annual day of non-violence and cease-fire.<br />
The United Nations invites all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities during the Day, and to otherwise commemorate the Day through education and public awareness on issues related to peace.</p>

September 21, 2014. Good News and Ben and Jerry’s are the last groups at the March. Ben and Jerry’s globe stated if it is melted it is ruined. We here at Good News with our series, The Water Hour are fully aware of the concerns of WATER. We helped create World Water Day at the UN with our associate Phil Sauers of the World Water Rescue Foundation. Our participation at the march was for Peace and for Water, in fact we feature a song that Pete Seeger titled Water not Weapons. Go to www.goodnewsplanet.com</p>
<p>Here is a link to the Ben and Jerry story. <a title="benjerry" href="http://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/climate-march-recap">http://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/climate-march-recap</a></p>
<p>The People’s Climate March &#8211;<br />
This is just the beginning<br />
September 25, 2014<br />
On September 21st, 400,000 people took to the streets of New York City to demand action, not rhetoric, from the world leaders who would take part in the UN Climate Summit two days later. The NYC march was joined by 2808 supporting events in 166 countries, making the People’s Climate March the biggest climate change mobilization in history.<br />
Even for Manhattan, a borough known for bombastic size, the scale was staggering, with the march assembly alone taking up 21 city blocks on the west side of Central Park. The significance of the day brought out celebrities including Leonardo Decaprio, climate luminaries including Al Gore, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, and NYC mayor Bill Deblasio (who just passed major green legislation, committing his city to an 80 percent cut in greenhouse gases by 2050).</p>
<p>But the real heroes were the everyday people from all walks of life and all parts of the world. The breadth of backgrounds, ethnicities, ages and viewpoints represented a sea change in the size and diversity of the climate movement.<br />
“This issue has become so urgent for people that hundreds of thousands turned out in the streets,” says Chris Miller, Ben &amp; Jerry’s Social Mission Activism Manager. “There was a sea of people as far as the eye could see in either direction.”<br />
“We are seeing a broad range of unusual suspects— trade unionists, religious leaders, indigenous peoples,” adds Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace’s International Executive Director. “Why we are reaching larger numbers is that we are saying climate change is not solely an environmental issue— it’s a survival issue.”<br />
Flying banners of all colors, shapes and messages, the march was a spectacle that even New Yorkers couldn’t ignore. Fresh signs like “It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your coals,” and “the revolution will not be motorized,” combined outrage and humor, while Ben &amp; Jerry’s own “If It’s Melted, It’s Ruined,” float designed by Russ Bennett, drew constant comments. At least 20 busloads of Vermonters were on location, from the Tar Sands-panning performance of Bread and Puppet, to anti-nuclear contingents, student and municipal groups and individuals on the move.</p>
<p>Under a muggy but rain-free sky, the marchers poured through Manhattan’s cavernous avenues and streets, their cheers and drumrolls a stark contrast to the glitz of the upper west side and the big screen excess of Times Square. Just before 1 pm, a pre-planned wave of silence swept from the front of the march over 20 blocks north, as everyone paused with their hands raised high overhead in remembrance of lives and homes lost to climate change related catastrophe. The poignancy of such a concentrated quiet in an otherwise noisy city sobered even the NYPD on crowd control duty. A few minutes later, a whistle swept up the march, leading a rolling cry as 400,000 plus people participated in the climate action alarm.<br />
At the 11th Avenue and 34th Street finish line, the tired dispersed while many lingered on, dancing, talking and eating at a multi-block street fair. A week prior, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that this past summer set the record for the hottest in global history, with 2014 likely to break the record as the hottest year ever.<br />
“Businesses have an incredible amount of influence with policy makers,” says Miller, “they need to join citizens in taking a stand on climate change. If we all come together and take action, it’s an incredibly positive vision for the future that I see for us.”</p>
<p>The People’s Climate March was an unparalleled success, drawing in over four times the number of people as expected, according to event organizers 350.org, all with the goal of demanding definitive change from our governments. With the next United Nations Climate Change Conference scheduled to take place next December in Paris, it’s never been more critical to keep the momentum going by clicking over to organizers like 350.org and getting involved.<br />
“This is just the beginning,” says Miller. “The next 14 months are incredibly important— we need to go from 400,000 in New York City, to a million people in Paris next year. We need to really put pressure on world leaders to act with ambition on climate change.”</p>
<p>We wanted to create a Human Peace Sign at the end, but ran out of steam, from our own events in San Jose and Central Park.</p>
<p>I didn’t realize that Ben and Jerry’s group was directly in front of us. They are socially responsible</p>

The National Day of the People&#8217;s Republic of China (simplified Chinese: 国庆节; traditional Chinese: 國慶節; pinyin: guóqìng jié) is celebrated every year on October 1. It is a public holiday in the People&#8217;s Republic of China to celebrate their national day.</p>
<p>The PRC was founded on October 1, 1949 with a ceremony at Tiananmen Square. The Central People&#8217;s Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People&#8217;s Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared that October 1 is the National Day.</p>
<p>The National Day marks the start of only one of the Golden Weeks in the PRC. However, there have been some recent controversies over whether Golden Weeks should be kept.</p>
<p>The National Day is celebrated throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau with a variety of government-organized festivities, including fireworks and concerts. Public places, such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing, are decorated in a festive theme. Portraits of revered leaders, such as Mao Zedong, are publicly displayed.</p>
<p>The University of Southern California U.S.-China Institute published a review of national day celebrations between 1949 and 1999 and discussed preparations for the 2009 extravaganza. US-China Today summarized press coverage and included images of the 2009 celebration.</p>

We speak to Dan Sherrell at <a href="http://www.350.0rg/" target="_blank">http://www.350.0rg/</a> .   We will meet at 1PM at 65&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and CPW and march as a Human Peace Sign to the 34 st. and 11 Ave. location and create a larger Human Peace Sign.  We will hold the flags of the Un from the World Peace Prayer Society, Hugg A Planets representing the rest of the world and the animal and plant kingdom.  We will walk over from our Human Peace Sign in Central Park at 10am at the Band Shell at 72&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; Street/Crossover/The Mall where we are an event at the International Peace Vigil, which we have been involved for 13 years.  Here is the latest press release from Peoples Climate March.</p>
<p>300+ Campuses Back-To-School Organizing Efforts to Send Students to Massive Climate March in NYC</p>
<p>New York, NY — In response to the United Nations’ Emergency Climate Summit, an unprecedented surge of tens of thousands of students from more than 300 campuses will join the People’s Climate March, which is anticipated to be the largest demonstration on climate change in history. Students have built a movement on hundreds of campuses to demand fossil fuel divestment and local solutions, and they’re joining the movement to demand bold climate action and an end to extractive industries as President Obama and world leaders meet at the United Nations.</p>
<p>“Students on hundreds of campuses, and thousands of youth vote leaders across the country are bringing their power and voices to the People’s Climate March to say enough is enough, we will divest from fossil fuels and build a new clean and just economy, and President Obama and world leaders better be prepared to join us, or face the political consequences,” said Maura Cowley, director of Energy Action Coalition.</p>
<p>The People’s Climate March will bring together a broad coalition of students, union workers, environmental justice organizations, survivors of Hurricane Sandy, and more. More than 1000 organizations have endorsed the march, and students from more than 300 colleges and universities will be attending and will march together to demonstrate the power and the demands of the millennial generation.</p>
<p>Student groups are joining the People’s Climate March from campuses across the country — over 45 campuses in New York alone are organizing students to attend, and students are organizing buses, trains and car pools from the West Coast, Historically Black Colleges &amp;amp; Universities and youth community organizations.</p>
<p>Student, Youth &amp;amp; Campus Highlights</p>
<p>Students on more than 45 campuses from across New York state and city–including CUNY campuses, SUNY Buffalo, Cornell University and more–are organizing for the march, anticipating turning out thousands of young activists.<br />
Students from more than 15 HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges &amp;amp; Universities) will attend the march to represent the next generation of African Americans demands for environmental justice.<br />
Non-environmental youth organizations like the United Students Against Sweatshops, Student/Farmworker Alliance and Hillel have endorsed the march and will be mobilizing their members.<br />
In conjunction with the New York City Department of Education’s Sustainability Department, NYC teachers and parents associations across the city are introducing curriculum and back to school materials to engage more students. Students who submit the most #SelfiesToSaveTheWorld at the People’s Climate March will will a $5000 Sustainability Grant for their school.<br />
Two of the nation’s largest teachers unions, the United Federation of Teachers and National Educators Association, have endorsed the march and are mobilizing their teachers and students.<br />
Young people in NYC and around the country will be meeting the day before the People’s Climate March at a Youth Convergence, to train, strategize and connect around youth organizing for climate justice<br />
On the eve of the March, there will be an Inter-Faith Youth Service with the Unitarian Universalist Youth Association and Tim DeChristopher, famed young climate activist who served 2-years in prison for an act of civil disobedience.</p>
<p>Young Organizers Share What the People’s Climate March Means to Them:</p>
<p>“Students are coming out in droves for this march because we recognize that it is our generation that will face the consequences of climate change. In speaking with students from CUNY, SUNY and others across the state, we are excited to join communities here in NY, along with people from across the globe, to make clear that we are ready for a clean energy future.”<br />
-Aileen Sheil, NYPIRG’s chairperson and a Queens College student.</p>
<p>“The Peoples Climate March is important because climate change is already destroying people’s lives and now is the time to address it, we can’t wait, we have to do something now!”<br />
-Daisy Trelles, a 16-year old organizer with UPROSE, Brooklyn’s oldest Latino organization</p>
<p>“Students and youth have always been at the vanguard of social movements, and what I’m looking forward to at the People’s Climate March is the intersection of movements. Labor, faith, students, race, class, LGBTQ movements are all coming together in a fantastic show of solidarity, art, culture and power. A movement of movements rooted in shared vision.”<br />
-Varshini Prakash is a senior at UMass Amherst majoring in Environmental Science and Political Science. She’s a board member of the Responsible Endowments Coalition and member of the coordinating team of the Divestment Student Network.</p>
<p>“For our generation, climate change is so much more than a political issue. This is about our future and the kind of world we will inherit, so when world leaders fail to act we take it personally. It is clear we can no longer wait for politicians to solve the problem for us, we must become the leaders we have been waiting for.”<br />
-Xiuhtezcatl Martinez is a 14-year-old indigenous activist from the group Earth Guardians.</p>
<p>“Hurricane Sandy impacted my community in the Rockaways, as well as other parts of New York and New Jersey. Climate Change is a big problem in the time we live in, and action needs to be taken to stop this injustice on people and our environment. This part of New York is still recovering from the devastation of a climate change storm. We the people need to take a stand and speak and fight for justice, for people, our environment, and our earth. We need to take action and we need power; we need Change.”<br />
-Albert Carcaterra, grew up in Rockaway Park, New York and organized in his community with Occupy Sandy after the Hurricane.</p>
<p>“Divestment organizers at American University are working incredibly hard to bring as many students as possible to the People’s Climate March. We know that PCM goes beyond one march and one afternoon–it is an opportunity for us to bring new students into our campaign and to build relationships with schools in our area. It will give us momentum and inspiration and make our divestment campaign stronger than ever.”<br />
-Deirdre Shelly is a senior at American University in Washington, DC. She is a leader of the divestment campaign on her campus and is coordinating student recruitment for schools in DC and Maryland.</p>
<p>“I am planning to attend the People’s Climate March because I think it is important to stand in solidarity with others around major issues that impact people all over. The environment affects everyone in every place and I hope this march will bring to light the power that we have as people to make change.”<br />
-Deanna Nagle is a junior at Penn State studying Labor Studies and Employee Relations. As a Regional Organizer for United Students Against Sweatshop she works around labor issues that affect people across the world.</p>
<p>“In Minnesota, the People’s Climate March is bringing together hundreds of youth and students from all over the state. A march is a chance for many people to come together as one, so we’re really using this as an opportunity to build bridges between our communities and forge lasting connections. Going forward we want to use these connections to better support each other’s work in tar sands, divestment, and more. We’ll stand together, empowered and united, as we grow an inclusive and intersectional movement.”<br />
-Brent Murcia is a junior environmental studies student at Carleton College in Minnesota. He is working on campaigns for divestment and waste reduction on campus and also on organizing Minnesota students for the People’s Climate March.</p>
