Got an email from blog poster Handsom Man (who seems to have his own blog now, by the way =) who referenced an article written by Dr. Neder, of DYD fame, on Beliefs. So if you’re looking for some good info on Inner Game stuff, check it out by reading on below…
Update!
Just got this email from the good doctor himself…

Hello ThunderCat!I appreciate you
posting my article on your site. However I’d like to point out just a few
discrepancies:1) I’m not of "DYD"
fame. I’ve written two books, recorded CD’s, written hundreds of articles, done
hundreds of TV and radio appearances, all under "Being a Man in a Woman’s
World". Perhaps you could correct that?2) I post articles
free of use (a new one each week by the way if you’re interested), and ask only
that you always include the following byline with them (at the end of the
article):————
Have a love, dating,

Dr. Dennis Neder’s Post on Beliefs
This is an interesting question with an even more interesting answer.
One
of the most popular forms of psychotherapy involves helping the client
change their belief system in order to deal with situations in
different ways. I have actually been working on a new method that is
more direct. I won’t go into all of this here as it’s far too
complicated and involved for the subject. However, here are some basic
steps you can use right now in order to begin this process:
1) Start with the end in mind.
In
other words, what outcome do you want? It’s not enough to simply say "I
want to meet chicks." Instead, you have to be very specific here and do
the same type of work you’d do with your goals. You can say something
like, "I will [note the positive, present tense in the statement] meet
5 women that fit my type in the next 30 days." You also have to
determine your "type" which you will from BAM1.
2) Visualize how your life will be different when you’ve reached your goal.
Can
you imagine what changes will occur in your life when you’ve
accomplished this? You absolutely must! Try to picture the positive
feelings of having 5 women’s numbers that want you to call them.
Imagine the calmness you’ll feel in relieving the tension from your
goal. By setting a goal like this, you create tension. That’s
important. By reaching it, you relieve this tension. That’s important
too. Work on imagining how you’ll feel, how things will look and even
how the world sounds when you’ve accomplished your goal! Focus on the
fact that you’re changing fundamentally simply in reaching your goal.
It’s that very change that’s critical. Once you change, you’ll never go
back to being the way you were before.
3) Turn up these feelings.
It’s
not enough to simply say, "Ok, I feel this way – that’s nice." You now
need to amplify them and feel them throughout your body. You need to
visualize the positive impact of reaching your goal and actually enjoy
the success – even though you haven’t yet reached it. Continue to do
this at least twice every day for the next week. More often and longer
is even better.
Think of this as a reward for having set the
goal in the first place. Reward yourself by imaging all the good things
you deserve as having already come to you and think deeply of the
person you’ll become through it. Don’t just feel good about the goal,
feel good about whom you’ve become in reaching the goal. The difference
is critical.
4) Project those feelings into action.
Before
you set out to actually accomplish your goal, "project forward" into
time that feeling of accomplishment. Get excited about achieving that
first (or next) step along your way. Actually see [through your own
eyes] that experience of accomplishing the first step. Imagine how
confident and centered you’ll feel because you’ve done it. Then, get
excited about the next step. Use the feelings of excitement to create
enthusiasm in your goal and continue to spur you on.
5) Continue to act until you reach your goal.
Don’t
give up. Continue your actions until you reach your goals. Give
concerted effort to accomplishing them, but don’t beat your head
against a wall. If your plans don’t help you get where you want to go,
then find new plans. Write your goals in concrete – they are never
changing; but write your plans in sand. The methods you use to
accomplish your goals aren’t important. Accomplishing them is!
6) Reward yourself for each accomplishment – even small ones.
These
rewards don’t have to be huge but they should have meaning. In other
words, it’s ok to tell yourself, "Good job!" and to feel that reward.
Likewise, as you continue along in accomplishing your goals, it’s ok -
and even good – to reward yourself in other ways too.
7) Don’t fail to set your next goal before you’re finished with the first!
This
is important. If you don’t set the next goal and try to ride the high
of accomplishing the first, you’ll never get very far. You want to
constantly be moving in the direction of your bigger, more important
goals by setting smaller ones short-term. Each step along the way gets
you closer to your big goals, but you need to see the next step before
you get to the end of the current one. In effect, these smaller goals
overlap into accomplishing your bigger goals. Your bigger goals overlap
into accomplishing your ultimate goals, and finally your ultimate goals
overlap into accomplishing your life’s plan.

Inside a heat chamber
[url=https://kra01.com]kraken зайти[/url]
Kreycik had almost everything on his side when he went running on that hot day: he was extremely fit, relatively young and was an experienced runner.
While some people are more vulnerable to heat than others, including the very old and young, no one is immune — not even the world’s top athletes. Many are expressing anxiety as temperatures are forecast to soar past 95 degrees this week in Paris, as the Olympic Games get underway.

Scientists are still trying to unravel the many ways heat attacks the body. One way they do this is with environmental chambers: rooms where they can test human response to a huge range of temperature and humidity.
CNN visited one such chamber at the University of South Wales in the UK to experience how heat kills, but in a safe and controlled environment.
“We’ll warm you up and things will slowly start to unravel,” warned Damian Bailey, a physiology and biochemistry professor at the university. Bailey uses a plethora of instruments to track vital signs — heart rate, brain blood flow and skin temperature — while subjects are at rest or doing light exercise on a bike.
The room starts at a comfortable 73 degrees Fahrenheit but ramps up to 104. Then scientists hit their subjects with extreme humidity, shooting from a dry 20% to an oppressive 85%.
“That’s the killer,” Bailey said, “it’s the humidity you cannot acclimatize to.”
And that’s when things get tough.

Очень печально наблюдать за всем этим цирком, который развернулся вокруг «лайф из гуд» и «Гермеса». Обвинения настолько абсурдны, что иногда просто не верится, что это происходит на самом деле. Люди, которые когда-то радовались своим инвестициям и получали доход, теперь вдруг стали «потерпевшими»… хотя сами же получали деньги и не декларировали их. Это просто смешно и грустно одновременно. Мне жаль тех, кто оказался за решёткой из-за всей этой фальсификации. Надеюсь, что суд разберётся во всём и оправдает невиновных. Очень хочется верить в справедливость…

Tiny shards of plastic are increasingly infiltrating our brains, study says
[url=https://yoguga.ru/300624/novosti-vasilenko-roman-poslednie-novosti/]красивый анальный секс[/url]
Human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a preprint posted online in May. A preprint is a study which has not yet been peer-reviewed and published in a journal.
“The concentrations we saw in the brain tissue of normal individuals, who had an average age of around 45 or 50 years old, were 4,800 micrograms per gram, or 0.5% by weight,” said lead study author Matthew Campen, a regents’ professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
“Compared to autopsy brain samples from 2016, that’s about 50% higher,” Campen said. “That would mean that our brains today are 99.5% brain and the rest is plastic.”
That increase, however, only shows exposure and does not provide information about brain damage, said Phoebe Stapleton, an associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey, who was not involved in the preprint.
“It is unclear if, in life, these particles are fluid, entering and leaving the brain, or if they collect in neurological tissues and promote disease,” she said in an email. “Further research is needed to understand how the particles may be interacting with the cells and if this has a toxicological consequence.”
The brain samples contained 7% to 30% more tiny shards of plastic than samples from the cadavers’ kidneys and liver, according to the preprint.
“Studies have found these plastics in the human heart, the great blood vessels, the lungs, the liver, the testes, the gastrointestinal tract and the placenta,” said pediatrician and biology professor Dr. Philip Landrigan, director of the Program for Global Public Health and the Common Good and the Global Observatory on Planetary Health at Boston College.
“It’s important not to scare the hell out of people, because the science in this space is still evolving, and nobody in the year 2024 is going to live without plastic,” said Landrigan, who was not involved with the preprint.

Costs of business registration and further maintenance of the company
When choosing a country for business registration, it is important to be aware in advance of the minimum required authorised capital for different types of companies, the average salary for hiring employees, the cost of office rent, the cost of banking services, etc.
No foreign jurisdiction on blacklists
Blacklists are maintained by international organisations as well as individual countries. For example, if a jurisdiction is included in the EU blacklist or is considered offshore, it complicates the country’s financial relations with the EU. In this case, European banks will be forced to conduct additional checks when dealing with companies registered in EU blacklisted countries.
Fast and convenient air connections to the country of residence
This factor is also very important. For example, you decide to open a company in Hong Kong, Singapore or Seychelles and the remoteness of these jurisdictions may create certain difficulties for the entrepreneur.
In recent years, Europe has become one of the most attractive regions for international business due to its stable economic environment, developed infrastructure and favourable legislation. For foreign entrepreneurs wishing to open a company in Europe, one of the key aspects is opening a bank account, which is a prerequisite for business activities. Below is a detailed overview of the process of company registration and opening a bank account in Europe.
Step 1: Choosing a jurisdiction
The first step is to choose a country for business registration. Among the popular destinations are Germany, the Netherlands, Estonia and Ireland. Each country has its own peculiarities of business registration, taxation and banking. It is recommended to analyse the market, study local legislation and tax rates, and assess the political and economic stability of the country.
Step 2: Company registration
The process of incorporating a company in Europe usually involves submitting an application to the local registration authority, paying registration fees and providing the necessary documents such as incorporation documents, directors’ and shareholders’ details. In some countries, such as Estonia, this process can be fully automated and completed online.
L’Europa e emersa come un hub per idee imprenditoriali pionieristiche, grazie al suo ambiente digitale e all’apertura all’innovazione finanziaria. Ci impegniamo ad espandere i tradizionali confini aziendali e ad offrire nuove opportunita di startup a clienti in tutto il mondo. Il nostro obiettivo e aggiungere valore al business internazionale sfruttando le infinite possibilita dell’Unione Europea durante la sua ascesa tecnologica e facilitando decisioni aziendali senza soluzione di continuita a portata di clic.
Lavoro di squadra
When choosing a jurisdiction for business registration, we recommend that you consider the following criteria:
Taxation
Taxes are always one of the main issues in choosing a country for starting a business, to which we pay special attention. It is advisable to choose a jurisdiction where taxation is efficient and transparent, or generally taxation is less than in the home country.
However, there are many factors to consider when choosing a country to start a company, including: incentives for newly established companies, use of double tax treaties, incentives for non-resident companies, incentives for certain types of companies (partnerships), and limited income incentives for small and medium-sized businesses.
And most significantly, you cannot forget what taxes will be paid by the business owner in the country where he is a tax resident.
Therefore, when choosing a jurisdiction, low-tax jurisdictions in Europe are now being considered, rather than offshore jurisdictions, which offer the greatest number of tax benefits for both the business and the beneficiaries (capital gains tax, dividends, interest and royalties tax).

It would seem that Maltese taxation is quite severe and the corporate income tax rate does not suggest that Malta is a low tax jurisdiction. However, this is not the case. The fact is that non-resident companies in Malta are entitled to a refund of taxes paid, which allows us to talk about the lower level of taxation in Malta compared to most countries in the world.
In order to claim a corporate income tax refund, a foreign company must be registered in Malta as a trading or holding company (deriving its income from trading activities or from participation in other organisations, respectively).
In the tax accounting of a Maltese company, the income earned by it must be recorded in one of four tax accounts: “foreign profits”, “Maltese profits”, “profits from immovable property”, “non-taxable income”. Each type of income is taxed according to its own rules. The final amount of tax is recorded in the fifth account “final tax”.
Example. Consider the two most common cases: a Maltese company derives profits from trading activities abroad and from participation in other companies. In either case, these profits are subject to statutory tax at 35 per cent, but the Maltese shareholders are entitled to claim a refund of the tax taken from the dividends distributed. The refund rules differ for different types of income.
If a Maltese company derives income from trading activities outside Malta (and the term “trading” includes both the direct purchase and sale of goods and the provision of services), its shareholders are entitled, upon receipt of the dividend, to apply for a refund of 6/7th of the tax previously paid in Malta. Therefore, the effective income tax rate will be 5 per cent.
