Religious Purity Movement By Right-Wing Fanatics Threatens Faith in America
Purity is the condition of being free from anything that debases, contaminates, or pollutes, and a certain segment of the American population are obsessed with their deluded concept of what is purely American. In the conservative movement, particularly the racist religious right segment of the movement, there is a tendency toward demanding conservative purity, racial purity, and increasingly religious purity that all define their distorted vision of an American Utopia. Much to their despair, and due to the makeup of America's population, there will never be anything remotely pure in this nation, whether it is in politics, race, or religion. What is curious, is that although America is not, was not, and never will be a Christian nation, there are signs that a religious purity crusade is gaining traction.
As it turns out, just the mention of any religion that does not adhere to American Neo-Christianity's hate-filled tenets is enough to drive "the faithful" into a violent rage. In Arkansas recently, a local Unitarian Universalist church reached out to the community in a letter alerting the residents that their "church" was all inclusive and welcomed all people regardless of race, religion, or sexual preference; like Jesus Christ preached. The letter incited typically religious right intolerance and hatred that drove some vile human being to shoot out the church's windows and leave a hate-filled, racist, homophobic, and Islamophobic rant threatening the church's leader.
In Maryland this past week, in response to several requests for the school board to recognize an Islamic holy day like every Christian holy day, the board voted to strike all references to all religious holidays, including Christian holidays, from the scholastic calendar rather than recognize the Muslim holiday. The Montgomery County Board of Education voted 7 to 1 to eliminate all religious holidays from its 2015-2016 calendar, which previously recognized only Christian and Jewish celebrations. The local Muslim community just wanted recognition of the "Feast of the Sacrifice" as a demonstration of religious equality this country has abandoned with extreme religious prejudice.
The co-chair of the Equality for Eid Coalition, Zainab Chaudry, said, "They would remove the Christian holidays and they would remove the Jewish holidays from the calendar before they would even consider adding the Muslim holiday to the calendar." According to the school board, recognizing religious holidays on the school calendar was purely symbolic, but they still could not bring themselves to make even a nominal gesture to Muslims in a demonstration of equality. A former Maryland state delegate, Saqib Ali, complained that "By stripping the names Christmas, Easter, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, they have alienated other communities now, and we are no closer to equality. It's a pretty drastic step, and they did it without any public notification."
Members of the school board lied and insisted that the vote was not meant to single out the Muslim community, but with a visible increase in anti-Muslim hatred across the nation, board members certainly singled out Islam. The danger is that now Christian devotees can blame Muslims for having Christmas and Easter stricken from the school calendar; as if Christians need more incitement to hate Muslims. Just two months ago in New York City, an anti-Muslim hate group took out "incendiary advertisements" on city buses using images of ISIS extremists to portray Islam as an inherently violent religion. Last month, some "pure Christian" threw a Molotov cocktail at a Mosque in New Mexico, and two weeks ago in California, a gun-zealot fired several shots at a mosque; fortunately, no-one in either incident was harmed. As a prime example of the deep-seated hatred of Islam, law enforcement officials in both incidents are "exploring the possibility of investigating" the California attack as a hate crime.
Throughout the nation, there is a concerted effort to portray any faith other than Christianity as impure. It was reported here a couple of weeks ago that there is a very well-organized movement to incite Christian parents to assail local teachers, schools, and parent-approved history curriculum because it "portrays Islam in a light" members of the Christian religion cannot countenance. In a fairly large California city, every year when religious leaders gather to plan how to help feed and clothe the poor and homeless, clergy from the Christian community refuse to participate because Muslims, Buddhists, Unitarian Universalists, and Jews are involved.
It is revealing that the religious right's devout hatred for any faith outside of their distorted interpretation of Christianity has effectively debased, contaminated, and polluted the teachings of their namesake Jesus Christ under the guise of Christian purity. However, that is the Americanized version of Christianity, and like every hate group since the election of an African American man as President, the Christian purity crowd is rising and persecuting other faiths. It can only mean there are dark days ahead for a nation that was not founded on any religion; especially this new evangelical version of impure Christianity.

You left out the Christian fellow who beheaded some poor sap in Oklahoma for religious reasons.
You know, weren't Christians taught that Jesus loves all and he cared about everyone.
Seeing this crap like the letter (BTW, to the idiot who wrote that letter: Learn. To. Spell.) and the fact that a school board wiped out Christmas because Muslims wanted to be treated on equal grounds further proves why I don't trust religion at all. Why is it that the craziest of the crazies are always religious followers?
Why can't we accept all for who they are as a person and not because they aren't what Jerky McJackass on 'Fox News' says they should be. Hell, if I met someone who was Muslim, I'd be more curious then afraid… why? Well, remember: Not everyone who is a Muslim is what we see on TV. Most of them are peaceful, you know.
Jesus vomits when He thinks on "Christianity",
If you are not part of the earth is 6,000 year old crowd and man roamed with Dinosaurs you are ridiculed. Last GOP I will ever attend was in 2010 and the platform demanded the Bible be taught in public schools and asked which Bible — was told there is only one — news to me. Could take no more of the religious right — you cannot deal or reason with them. It is about control as much as religion and getting public money for their poor reigious schools and homeschooling who don't have to meet any standards. It is like brainwashing. Could not beieve how hard right OK was when transferred here and gotten a lot worse since January 97. If didn't live in Norman which is a progressive city, there is no way I would stay in this state but love Norman — one bright spot in OK!

there is only one bible it contains both old and new testaments .. most non christian religion uses the old testament and may be more books .. like with book of mormon they accept the bible and add their own book .. i am on your side by the way

Why is it that the craziest of the crazies are always religious followers?
Dustin, my opinion is that since "religion" is intangible, the crazies follow it because it allows them to make things up and live in their bubble of make believe.
Certainly seems to be going down that road..
Mr. Mustard says:
Religion plays into the narcissism and psychopathic tendencies of some humans.
The id, or ego, the need to feel special cannot be overstated, and is as you know dangerous.
"I am saved, I can sin and be forgiven, I am loved by God, I have dominion over the planet and all animals".
Republicans have mastered the art of manipulating the id of humans, religion learned it eons ago.
Until we learn how to reach the id, the inner singular self of the human animal and teach that sharing, compassion and community are the best ways to happiness and prosperity we'll continue to struggle and often lose elections.
Capitalists have also mastered the art of tying ego to money, where stature is mainly measured by wealth.
The dumbest person to the smartest all need egos stroked.
Great post, Mustard, thanks. Makes a lot of sense.
mark schmidt says:
Nothing like "religion" for promoting bigotry, hate, murder and genocide…that old time religion!
I enjoy how they feel persecuted because they can't hate whoever they want.
Sat, Nov 15th, 2014 at 10:15 pm
That makes sense. How else can you explain the actions of these people.
"Good people will do good things,, Bad people will do bad things,, But to get a good person to do a really bad thing you need religion"
I remember when neighborhoods were made up of people with all different religions and they went to church every Sunday and no one hated any religion and no one really said too much about what religion they were and there were not any issues, but I have noticed over the years how this has all changed I remember it starting around me with Baptists who started calling other religions cults and then their religious views started creeping in to everything and they are poisoning our country with their hate. I am sure this is not all Baptists but it is a good majority of them. Go to whatever church you want and let others do the same is my belief.
maple says:
Just an FYI — the word "bible" is a generic term.
The evangelicals only espouse the vengeful god of the Old Testament, and shouldn't be called Christians, because they don't follow the teachings of Christ.
Big problem, as I see it, is that there are no media, nor any media personalities other than Bill Maher, who are willing to offer up criticisms of these RWNJs. They're ruining the formerly good name of mainstream Christians. Imagine if a media outlet made fun of them, criticized their hateful outrageousness just as Faux does with Obama and the Democrats?

There are Christians (mostly RW bred) who use God's name to hide behind to justify their own hateful (they hate everything!) small minded, generally racist, unaccepting ways, & are usually miserable people. Are very insecure dictatorial controlling & as a result hate anyone that is smiling or remotely happy/ independent minded. I know good genuine Christians. I think they're the kind God actually acknowledges and walks with. What the RW spews is pure unadulterated evil greedy hate. If anything, they represent everything God is against. It appears more like they sold their souls to the devil for $$$$/polititcal power–they do not follow or practice God's word. At all. To follow them is equal to buying a ticket to hell. Their faith appears to line up more with the devils work. i.e..RW xtians are inprisoning women who have a miscarriage. Med condition out of their control but treating them like criminals. See? PURE unadultered IGNORANCE & EVIL!!
arrrgggg says:
You – all of you should see what's in the latest "Decision"(Billy Graham Publications). It is all persecution and all of the "false religions made by satan" ANYTHING that doesn't agree with them.
Recently both Catholics and Mormons (again) are also on the list of non-christians, I didn't see that in this magazine but the hate on Islam is deep.
Esta Weiss says:
This pattern has been happening over and over.. for years, from government on down. Every-time someone wants equality, rather than just give it, they bust everybody … which just makes the parties who had their faith recognized, hate the party who wanted equal time. This has been happening to Pagans, for years.
No surprise but the Palins are friends with this guy. They hang with all the scumbags, Rush, Teddy, Beck, Cruz, Hannity, and more. They have to prop each other up, because no respectable people or organizations will. The way to fame on the right is lie, and say the most vile stuff that you can think of.

These people (republicans) know nothing about God, His love or His will. What they do know is everything about Satan, his evil and his will. With God there is eternal victory, with Satan, there is eternal damnation. Freedom of choice is a gift from God……
PictouGene says:
First, there are two basic Bibles: the Catholic , and the Protestant. There are Old Testament books in the Catholic that are not in the Protestant.
Second: there are some twenty eight "versions" of the Protestant Bible. Every one is different from all of the others, in one way or the other. The version with the most translation errors is the King James Version, sponsored by King James the First of England, back in the seventeenth century.
You need to study your religious history, and quit listening to your preacher, who apparently is more ignorant of religious history than you.
They can call themselves religious or anything else they want to but these people are not christians, although I am now not a regular church goer I grew up many years ago in a truly religious family, I took religion in school and always went to church twice on Sunday, I was taught compassion for the poor, we always helped anyone who was ill, we respected other religions and our dear old vicar visited the sick on his bike,in those days vicars lived on a modest stipend in a vicarage provided by the church, these rich so called christians make me sick, I think they are actors and have found a lucrative career out of balking the poor out of money!
Robyn Ryan says:
Funny, they don't look Jewish….
The 3 religions of Abraham are disintegrating, like the Greek and Norse pantheons and hundreds we know nothing of. Like the Mayans, they are a death cult and as they feel power slipping, they amp of the rate of human sacrifice to swing the odds in their favor. Never works, but they keep on trying…
Mary J James says:
It is amazing how so many so called "CHRISTIANS" are quick to respond with death threats.So much for the pro life scam.

Well, I find this whole RW Christian coalition out of touch and misguided instigated by the one and only Karl Rove! Then exacerbated by certain religious figures driven by their hatred toward gays and abortion. The Rebublican platform make NO MISTAKE is a platform of GREED. One of the 7 deadly sins….their policies tilt the playing field toward the privileged and the rich. So when the Christian coalition vote, if they vote republican, they are voting for one of the 7 deadly sins!

I will be encouraging my local congressman and my senators to legislate a definition of Christianity to specifally exclude those organizations that promote hatred and exclusion. It also will specifically limit the definition of Christianity to those institutions that practive what Christ preached, including but not limited to feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, helping the poor and homeless out of their condition, opposing financial institutions that prey on the poor and support governments and candidates who do not expressly practice the above.
A test will be administered to ensure that nominal Christian congregations have not exceeded the IRS limitation on political participation. Failure to pass this test will result in automatic revocation of tax-free status.
In addition, it will require the Department of Justice to investigate and possibly prosecute any allegation of child abuse, sexual exploitation of children and women by clerics.
Penalties to be determined by a jury.

How very interesting that you resist – and in fact become down right apoplectic – anyone painting the Muslim faith with a broad brush as defined by actions of insidividuals but apparently have no hesitation doing exactly the same thing with Christianity. Why is that? Is it a personal issue or do you but follow sheep like with all those liberal pundits and media types who have made villifying Christianity a cause? Let us be clear here. There is no organization in Christianity that espouses the forcible conversion or murder or even descrimination against anyone who does not follow the Christian faith. In fact you are wrong. Our founders were either Christians or Deists – and much of what is in the Constitution and the Declaration of independence reflects that faith. All of them acknowledge the existence of God and our freedoms are based upon the idea that our rights derive from our creature as a natural condition of our existence as opposed to being bequeathed to us by the state.
The constitution reflects no religion, but it does reflect the Magna Carta, common English laws.
There are fundamentalists now demanding religious purity AS THEY DEFINE it. If we did not have laws in place t0 stop them, the christian fundamentalists would be exactly the same as muslim fundies.
Further, whatever religions the founders followed has nothing to do with todays reality
Tue, Nov 18th, 2014 at 1:14 pm
I believe you are misinformed on both fronts. The influences on the writers of the Constitution were many but the writings of Paul in the bible were cited most often in the later writings of the founders. But they also cite sources as diverse from English common law as Voltaire and Artistotle. But the recognition of our rights as pre-existing, and not depending upon, the constitution. That it derives from our humanity which for the deist comes from nature, and for the Christian comes from God is profound. Even the very language of the bill of rights reflects the idea that these rights were not created in the writing of the document but affirmed to be already extant. This is indeed profound as this concept was new, and had never before been reflected in any law created by man. This is the central founding idea from which everything else was derived. I believe you fail to understand the signifigence of this and how improtant it is today and forever. Or its religious origins.

Birds Power Their Way To An Opening-Night Win
Sioux Falls Canaries fans packed the Birdcage for Opening Night on Friday, and the Birds offense gave them what they wanted.
The Canaries hit three home runs, scored seven runs in the fifth inning, and coasted to a 9-5 win over the Chicago Dogs in their season opener. The performance deprived the dogs of a win in their first game as a franchise.
Despite the lopsided final score, the Birds trailed for much of the game, starting when Dogs designated hitter Craig Maddox singled in a run in the top of the first.
The Birds bounced back in the bottom of the inning, when leadoff hitter Ty Morrison hit a solo home run to tie the game up at 1.
Chicago responded with another RBI single in the second, adding another run in the fifth to take a 3-1 lead.
The bottom of the fifth is where the game turned. After a walk and a single forced Dogs starter Josh Goossen-Brown out of the game, Burt Reynolds gave the Canaries the lead with a three-run home run to right off Tyson Perez. The shot gave the Birds a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
The fifth was far from over. The Birds added four more runs, highlighted by run-scoring singles from Aaron Gretz and Dan Motl. Sioux Falls plated seven runs in the inning, sending 12 players to the plate. The inning turned a 3-1 deficit into a 8-3 lead.
From there, the Canaries kept Chicago at arm's length. Jabari Henry, fresh off a club record-tying 29 home runs last year, got his first homer of the season in the sixth.
The Dogs added a run in the eighth on a ground ball, and a Kyle Gaedele solo home run made it 9-5 Birds in the ninth. But it wasn't enough for Chicago, as Trevor Jaunich retired the next three batters to end the game.
Canaries starter Grady Wood was on-and-off on the mound Friday, but grinded through five innings of work. He allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits, walking two and striking out seven. Canaries manager Mike Meyer pulled Wood from the game after the Birds' big fifth inning.
The Canaries and Dogs meet again tomorrow night for the second game of their series. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. Fans can get tickets at the Sioux Falls Stadium box office or by calling 336-6060.

India Lowers HIV Estimate; Part of Wider Trend India has released a new estimate of HIV infections that is about half of the 5 million people previously thought to have contracted the disease. Similar results have come from surveys in 30 other countries, raising questions about the reliability of the global estimates of HIV and AIDS.
India Lowers HIV Estimate; Part of Wider Trend
< India Lowers HIV Estimate; Part of Wider Trend
July 6, 20076:00 AM ET
JOHN YDSTIE, host:
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm John Ydstie, sitting in for Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Renee Montagne.
The government of India has released a new estimate of HIV infections that is dramatically lower than previous estimates. It had been thought that more than five million people in India were infected with HIV. The new estimate finds about half that amount. Similar results from surveys in other countries are raising questions about the reliability of the global estimates of HIV and AIDS.
NPR's Brenda Wilson reports.
BRENDA WILSON: With the India survey complete, there have now been surveys in 30 countries that significantly reduced the rate of HIV-AIDS. These particular surveys randomly select people to match the characteristics of the nation's entire population, by age, income, education, and where they live - in rural or urban areas.
Karen Stanecki, an adviser in the UNAIDS Epidemiology Unit says that the Indian survey reached people missed by other methods.
Ms. KAREN STANECKI (Senior Adviser, U.N. AIDS Epidemiology Unit): This gives us better estimate for men and a greater geographic region. Although that doesn't include necessarily those populations most at risk such as people who are involved in more riskier behavior, perhaps, the sex workers and injecting drug users, and there's a large proportion of homeless street people.
WILSON: Previous surveys focused almost entirely on high risk groups. They were designed almost 30 years ago to capture trends in the infection but they ended up being used to measure the extent of the epidemic. India's old data came from clinics where men were treated for sexually transmitted infections. They came from brothels, in clinics for pregnant women.
In Ethiopia, the data came from pregnant women at urban clinics. Povakel Vandasami(ph) coordinated Ethiopia's health survey.
Ms. POVAKEL DENDOSAMI (Health Survey Coordinator): HIV prevalence among the wealthy, the educated, and the urban is higher than among the rest of the population. So when you obtain a prevalence rate based on this select group of women and then try to estimate for the whole population based on this group, you are definitely going to get a higher prevalence rate.
WILSON: That system of tracking the AIDS epidemic where you were guaranteed to find it was devised in the mid-1980s by Dr. James Chen, a professor of epidemiology at the University of California, Berkeley.
Dr. JAMES CHEN (Professor, University of California, Berkeley): That system was not designed to make estimates of the total number of HIV infections in a population.
WILSON: Chen says UNAIDS officials should have adjusted global numbers when numbers in individual countries started dropping as new surveys were done.
Dr. CHEN: So that Ethiopia last year went from 1.9 million, estimate, down to half a million. I mean that's a significant reduction. All I'm saying is that they have been very, very reluctant to accept what I consider to be the more accurate method.
WILSON: UNAIDS' Karen Stanecki.
Ms. STANECKI: Number one, we have been downward adjusting our estimates, so that's not true that we are reluctant do so; we have done so in the past. And number two, we don't do this in isolation, we do this with our country colleagues.
WILSON: It's a negotiation. U.N. agencies can't just walk into a country and take surveys. They are invited in, often by local officials. So for example, when Ethiopia balked at having its estimate reduced, the U.N. was put in the position of reporting an estimate that have a huge range - from half a million to one and a half-million.
Chris Murray of the Health Metrics and Evaluation Institute says that's why measuring the size health problems should be kept as far as possible from the people who are running the health programs.
Dr. CHRIS MURRAY (Health Metric and Evaluation Institute): If your problem, HIV, malaria, TB, anything else, is bigger, you are likely to get more money, and people know this. So there is a dynamic that's out there that does inject all this measurement with a political dimension.
WILSON: At one point worldwide estimates for HIV were at 42 million. They are now down to around 39 million. And when India released its HIV estimates today, the numbers dropped even further.

The purpose of this paper is to implement nonlinear particle interactions into subdiffusive transport, involving chemotaxis and nonlinear effects such as volume filling and adhesion. We systematically derive nonlinear subdiffusive fractional equations with chemoattractant dependent forcing. We consider the diffusion limit of the master equation and analyse the role of nonlinear tempering in the stationary case. We study the interaction between attractive forces of anomalous aggregation and chemotaxis, with repulsive forces induced by nonlinear reactions. We show that this nonlinear interaction can prevent the phenomenon of anomalous aggregation when the local particle concentration grows too high. We also show that the effect of nonlinear tempering is to suppress the intermediate subdiffusive behaviour which results in a nonlinear advection diffusion equation in the long time limit.

SUPREME COURT ROBBED ADELEKE, AS PDP CONDEMN RULING
Senator Adeleke Denied
According to reports, Supreme Court robbed Adeleke of his governorship election victory, as a result, a civil rights organization known as Coalition of Public Interest Lawyers and Advocates (COPILA) have cried out over the Supreme Court verdict which affirmed Governor Gboyega Oyetola of All Progressives Congress party (APC) victory. Response from the organization indicates that the action of the apex court has proportionately dealt with Osun electorate, and has strategically imposed injustice.
Reacting to how Supreme Court robbed Adeleke, some wondered why the court should punish candidates of the People Democratic Party (PDP), while others say it occurred as a result of the absence of one Justice Peter Obiora during a tribunal sitting.
The coalition also said, "It is only in a corrupt entity called Nigeria that the mistake of a judge in a case is ruled as the mistake of a litigant".

Also the convener of the organization (COPILA), Pelumi Olajengbesi said in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday, entitled, "Osun State: An aberration of Justice enforced by the Supreme Court", and also added that the court verdict has killed "the long vision of liberating the State (Osun State)".
Olajengbesi, lamented on how Supreme Court robbed Adeleke, and said, although the judiciary has been referred to as the last hope of the common man, and also seen as the fourth estate that holds' the pillar of any democracy, adding that the Supreme Court has erred.
He also said, "The journey to the disaffirmation of they've long known as the truth has been arduous and trying. Adding that, "the path to justice was strewn with setbacks, wars, shadow-battles concerted efforts that meticulously pulled the wool over the eyes of injustice, all against the people of Osun".
Adding that, "We have witnessed a huge chunk of the integrity of our Supreme Court blown to bits and by its insistence on disregarding a substantive suit whose merit affects the lives and livelihood of a state and its people to tow the path of technicality".
The organization in a statement commended Senator Adeleke, "whose effervescence, free spirit and resilience strengthened his faith in the courts to do right".
Olajengbesi said, "He was courageous and bold, refusing to be hindered by the antics of your opponents to sacrifice the people's mandate. However, "we celebrate his doggedness, and it is our prayer that history should remember him for standing up in defense of what is just". Adding that, "Some of us believe he duly won the election and a referendum by our people even though the same has been disregarded by the courts on the altar of legal summersaults". It's understood Supreme Court robbed Adeleke.
Since the Supreme Court robbed Adeleke, should he take the case to a higher court?

Dominio de Pingus Ribera del Duero 1995 . bsl, hcrc, spc. Magnum (1). ... (Total: 1 Mag. )
Dominio de Pingus Ribera del Duero 1995
bsl, hcrc, spc
"The 1995 Dominico de Pingus exhibits an opaque purple color, an extraordinary sweet nose of black fruits, truffles, and nicely-integrated, subtle pain grille. The wine is massive, huge, and full-bodied, with layers of concentrated, pure fruit, loads of glycerin, and beautifully sweet tannin. Although one would think it would taste Bordeaux-like, it has its own individual style that falls somewhere between St.-Emilion's Valandraud, Pesquera's Janus, and Vega Sicilia's Unico!"

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #113, Oct. 1997)
"The maiden Pingus is still going strong as it approaches adulthood. It has a complex bouquet, the glycerine content having ebbed over the years, revealing lush scents of creme de cassis, blackberry, black olive and a slight earthy, almost Graves-like tincture. The palate is medium-bodied with surprising succulent on the entry underpinned by crisp acidity. There is almost a sense of conservatism to this Pingus, but it is undeniably well balanced." (92 pts.

I did have a beauty review scheduled for today but I kinda wanted to get this out before. A little message to anyone in the world who may be reading this, something I remind myself everyday, making yourself a priority and why it's so crucial.
I am one of those people who likes to make everyone else around me happy before I focus on myself, the panic and stress I went through trying to make my house fun when people came round when i was little was ridiculous and I have carried that in to my adult life.
Putting other people's happiness first is nice of you but it does you no good. It grates on you and eventually you end up feeling a little down in the dumps, at least I do anyway.
Learn to say no. If you have an evening planned of doing absolutely nothing but eating junk food and watching netflix and someone asks you to do something and you don't want to do it just say no. I know we should take opportunities and be spontaneous but if you don't want to, don't do it.
I am not a Mum but I know a lot of mums who don't put themselves first. I understand it can be hard but taking a few hours when you can to just have some 'me' time away from everyone apparently does wonders to your overall mental health.
You and only you are in charge of making you happy, if you can't spare even 10 minutes to work on you and look after yourself you are doing it wrong. This is something I seriously struggled with until I learned that actually time on my own can be fun and I should do it more often.
Don't put everyone's needs before your own, your needs are important and if you want to talk about something or if something is bothering you, speak up just like everyone else does.
I feel like priotizing yourself also means looking after your mental health. Don't bury what you're feeling deep down because you don't want to bother anyone and don't brush it off because there's more important things to worry about. Your mental health is so important and anything you can do to keep it in good shape is a priority in my eyes.
Be selfish! Obviously don't turn in to someone everybody hates but being selfish is the key to doing what you want and being happy. This means learning to say no, giving your opinion on things you do or don't want to do, learn that you need time to yourself and stopping trying to please everyone around you.
There's something so liberating (for me) about ignoring my phone, sticking my feet up -on the table not in the air- and watching what I want whilst I eat what i want. This doesn't apply to everyone but to me , that's me making myself a priority and not caring who needs me nor what anyone would think of me. If you do struggle with making yourself number 1 i really urge you to give it a whirl and just centre the world around you for once.


Camping can be fun, if you like to rough it.
But if the thought of pitching a tent and cooking over a Coleman grill gets your stomach churning, there's a new camping option out there--glamping, which infuses the traditional campground experience with a taste of luxury (and indoor plumbing).
Glamping's not exactly new--the New York Times wrote about it in 2008, meaning the trend had legs several years earlier--but it's recently become much more mainstream, and cool new glamping sites are appearing across the globe.
The NYT's T Magazine presents a few new selections in this week's issue, and we've rounded up some of our personal favorites.

Ecclestone may face probe for paying $27m 'bribe'
2 K Shares
LONDON: Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone could be face a Serious Fraud Office (SFO) probe after admitting that he paid $27 million to a banker to stay silent on his financial affairs.
"The SFO is aware of the allegations against Mr Ecclestone and is liaising with the authorities in Germany to ascertain if there is a case in the UK to answer," the Daily Mail quoted a SFO spokesperson, as saying.
Ecclestone had earlier admitted that he paid a banker, Gerhard Gribkowsky, after he blackmailed to make false accusations against the former to the Inland Revenue about his tax affairs.
"I really did not have any alternative. I was under the impression he might have given some information to the Revenue in England which I did not know much about," Ecclestone had said.
His statement raised further questions about his business affairs, which have always been under wraps.
Gribkowsky is charged with receiving bribes, breaches of trust and tax evasion in Germany in connection with the 2005 sale of F1 shares by his former employer, the German bank BayernLB, to the London-based private equity group Citicorp Venture Capital, CVC.
Prosecuters claimed that 27 million pounds recovered from Gribkowsky's bank account, was given to him by Ecclestone for being appointed as chief executive of the equity group after completion of the deal.
The Attorney General Dominic Grieve confirmed the involvement of the SFO to his Labour counterpart Emily Thornberry. ANI
