"There is no welfare plan for people who lose in the stock market. The "Stocks Have Always Outperformed Bonds" Theme in Investing Culture By the early 1990s I was already so struck by the ubiquity of the observation that stocks have historically outperformed bonds that I decided to try to learn how common the observation really was. I asked the following in a questionnaire survey of U.S." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Hospitals are unaccustomed to being held responsible for the welfare of their patients. Older physicians who don't want to type won't like electronic medical records. Specialists won't like seeing their incomes restrained. Many of them in cities like Los Angeles will find there are fewer positions available. Other doctors will simply resist the idea that the hospital and Medicare can look over their shoulders." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Kirk, a professor of social welfare at UCLA, has spent years studying the DSM, how it was created and how it is used. He says he has come to believe that the psychiatrists who wrote the DSM are "making us all crazy" by their continual expansion of behaviors they defined as psychiatric disorders. In an essay in 2005, Dr." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"She was devoted to God and to human welfare. She seemed to me to be very pure of heart. Still, though outwardly calm and sophisticated, she carried enough anxiety around with her to sink the Titanic. During our first session, she said, "I have a confession to make ... the worst thing I've ever done ... I've never told it to anyone." She went on to say that, while a junior in college, she entered a contest for "Centerfold Campus Coed." She won and very briefly embarked on a career as a nude centerfold model. "The money was so good and I was desperate, so I did it." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "Throughout, I taught her to take a different approach toward life, letting others take more responsibility for their welfare. I told her, "If God wanted you to be a beast of burden you'd have been born a donkey." She heard me and learned to take it a little easier. She found her voice and recovered from her depression. Together with her husband, they moved their mothers off the farm. Her back healed, and she could ride again. Her outlook on life improved enormously." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "Remaining open to the reconstruction of one's belief system is essential to individual wellbeing and to growth in social welfare. Bell, John Stewart—Born June 28, 1928, in Belfast, Ireland, Bell was a physicist who became well known as the originator of Bell's theorem, regarded by some in the quantum mechanics community as one of the most important theorems of the twentieth century." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"In Japan, prior to April 1, 2003, cosmetics were regulated under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL) by the Pharmaceutical and Safety Bureau, under the authority of the Ministry of Health, Labor and welfare. Beginning in 2003, however, cosmetics were effectively de-regulated and responsibility shifted from the ministry to industry. Abolition of the PAL has thus effectively harmonized the Japanese and U.S. markets. However, there are important differences between Japanese law and our own. Importing companies are now required to notify the ministry that they intend to sell a product in Japan." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"In the Charak Samhita, such leadership is said to be the usual situation: "Ayurved, the science of life, has been taught by the maharishis who are devoted to righteousness (dharma) and the welfare of the people, and not their own earnings and enjoyment."1 Maharishi's 35 years of work to bring Vedic knowledge around the world have provided evidence of his devotion to "righteousness and the welfare of the people," and now in Maharishi Ayur-Ved, there is once again a prevention-oriented system of natural health care that has its basis in consciousness." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.)

"Damnable Disability Determination The Prussian social legislation created a "welfare monarchy" far more extensive that just workers' compensation insurance. Prodded by Otto von Bismarck's drive to assuage a skittish labor movement, the legislature established three tiers of worthiness for those who claimed work incapacity. The worker who is injured at work is the most worthy and therefore should be compensated for any loss of wage-earning capacity through workers' compensation insurance." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"The Prince of Wales, April 22, 1992 In the western world there are many material goals: economic growth, social welfare, better transport, more leisure and so on. But for our fulfillment as human beings we desperately need not just material challenges, but challenges of a moral or spiritual kind. .. .An appropriate challenge for everybody, from individuals, communities, industries and governments through to multinationals, especially for those in the relatively affluent Western world, is to take on board thoroughly this urgent task of the environmental stewardship of our Earth." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Members of the Ways and Means Committee were still bickering over which bill to support when Mills launched a preemptive strike on March 2, 1965, calling Wilbur Cohen, an assistant secretary for the Department of Health, Education, and welfare, to a meeting of the committee. At the meeting, Mills told the Republicans he liked their Bettercare idea so much that he intended to fold it into the Medicare legislation, creating a three-tiered program." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Labor unions have traditionally sought defined benefit plans for their members as a way of ensuring their welfare in retirement, and the decline of unions has meant dimimshing support for these plans. The importance of the manufacturing sector, long a stronghold of labor unions and defined benefit pensions, has shrunk. Defined benefit plans have also become less popular with management, because so-called overfunded plans sometimes make companies vulnerable to takeovers. Defined contribution plans are seen as less costly to administer than defined benefit plans." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"He felt he wanted to come to know God and work more directly for human welfare. He went to work as the head of one of the world's largest humanitarian aid organizations. As he continued to deepen his spirituality, he shifted his focus even further. He volunteered in one of the organizations that he oversaw as a board member, and for six months he worked with a poor, uneducated man and taught him to read. Only then did he find a modicum of the peace he was looking for. But his story doesn't end there." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Infant welfare clinics will often refer you to trained infant massage therapists. Massage may also help relieve colicky or fretful babies. Relaxation can also be mastered by children through playing games like the elephant walk (see Chapter 6). And, of course, sometimes just a simple cuddle of a baby or child will be reassuring and comforting enough to relieve the child's distress. Other activities that will help children with asthma control their breathing from the diaphragm are learning to sing or play a wind or brass instrument." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"In 1926, eight doctors sent a petition to the Department of National Health and welfare in Ottawa, pushing Caisse's cause [stating], 'We believe the treatment for cancer by Rene Caisse can do no harm, and that it relieves pain, will reduce enlargement, and prolong life in hopeless cases. To the best of our knowledge she has not been given a case to treat until everything else has been tried without effect, and even then she is able to show remarkably beneficial results.'" Breast Cancer Survivors' Reports Many people report great benefit from using this ancient healing remedy. J. K." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"First to go is the romance, as both mother and father rearrange their priorities to put the welfare of the child above their own and that of their significant other. In the case of a child with ADD or ADHD, the amount of time and attention devoted to child rearing increases as the child grows. Meanwhile, the love that brought two people together gets pushed to the background. When a child has ADD/ADHD, there may seem to be endless frustrations and challenges, and two very angry and tired parents make up a formula for disaster." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Each Vision-In will address an overall global message, but will also break down the day's or weekend's agenda into visions for specific intentions: Visions for better leaders who put the welfare of their constituency before their need for power, authority and ego; proven by their actions, not just their words. 0 Visions for change in corporate culture putting the welfare of the worker first before the bottom line. Visions injecting love and respect into the hearts of those who have refused to come to the peace table and who perpetrate hate and genocide." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

"The Department of Health, Education, and welfare grew concerned that the United States might be about to see another large national flu pandemic, involving numbers of influenza deaths reminiscent of the flu pandemic of 1918. The federal government deemed it prudent to vaccinate all Americans. In October 1976, the National Influenza Immunization Program officially began. Initially, nearly 1 million Americans were vaccinated each week, with the number growing to more than 4 million a week by the end of that first month." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"By the 1980s, Americans no longer believed, for the most part, in social programs. welfare mothers and the like were so successfully vilified by Reagan that politicians could no longer publicly support such programs and get elected. The era of governmental solutions to national problems and challenges (Social Security, the GI Bill, the Great Society, the Space Program) that began with the New Deal ended—if not in reality, at least ideologically—with Reagan. The individual, the self, religion, and the family unit (leading to the 1990s ideological issue of "family values") were again paramount." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"A 1999 report for the Ministry of Health and welfare of Japan found the main metabolite of parabens present in blood and breast milk. And in a subsequent study of 100 demographically diverse adults, methyl-and propylparabens were discovered in nearly every sample of urine, while other parabens were detected in more than half of the samples." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Should we count social and political innovations such as the welfare state along with scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs? And what values should be assigned to particular advances? Was the invention of photocopying as significant as that of the printing press? Even having chosen a set of significant steps and plotted them as a graph, it is still not easy to see what type of function describes the curve. There certainly are mathematical techniques for deciding how well an equation fits a curve." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "We may believe that financial or political expediency is more important than our long-term welfare. It is these outdated mental programs that lie behind much of our self-centeredness, shortsighted decisions, and less-than-intelligent behavior. How did this happen? Where did this dysfunctional self-interested thinking come from? Self-interest? Misdirected Needs Happiness belongs to those who are sufficient unto themselves. For all external sources of happiness are, by their very nature, highly uncertain, precarious, ephemeral, and subject to change." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Any individual who behaved in such an irrational manner, without any care or respect for their own welfare or that of others, would be classed as insane. Such behavior has close parallels with cancer. When cancers become malignant, they can grow very fast, with no regard for the rest of the organism. They are part of the body, yet in many respects behave as if they were completely separate. They are also somewhat stupid: if a cancer is successful, it may kill its host, and hence itself. Similarly, the human population has been growing rapidly and with little regard for its environment." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Middle Kingdom pharaohs saw themselves as shepherds of the people, more concerned with the common welfare than their Old Kingdom predecessors. They were also efficient administrators who imposed a firm bureaucracy on every aspect of Egyptian life. Pharaoh Senusret III (1878-1841 B.C.) was a great warrior and a man of imposing height. (Manetho tells us he was "4 cubits 3 palms, 2 fingers breadth [over 2 meters] tall."") He used the power and prestige of his office, bolstered by bountiful floods, to break the power of the nomarchs and replace them with administrators under direct royal control." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"In 2005, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor, and welfare posted the intent, purpose, and related information of changing the name for dementia on their Web site and invited opinions from the public. Ninchishou emerged as the victor. The purpose of instituting this new terminology is that a patient given the label will better be able to reconcile their condition and adapt to it without feeling themselves to be fools. Likewise, such a semantic adaptation may lessen the tendency to ostracize aging persons, and may help communities embrace the elderly and see the person rather than the dementia." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Second only to social security, the prescription drug bill is the largest welfare benefit in American history. It involves a massive transfer of wealth from taxpayers directly to the pharmaceutical industry. The bill went into effect with President George Bush's full endorsement. The bill includes a remarkable provision that prohibits the federal government from using its purchasing power to negotiate reduced drug prices, something the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the United States military have done for years." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.) "In 2007, veteran CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft exposed the influence peddling that led to the passage of the prescription drug bill, the costliest welfare measure in the last four decades. He interviewed two Congressmen concerning the influence exerted by the pharmaceutical industry over the Congress in securing passage of the prescription drug bill and in achieving insertion of the drug price no-negotiation provision. Kroft interviewed Congressman Walter Jones (R-N.C). Jones told Kroft "[t]he pharmaceutical lobbyists wrote the bill." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

"Coomaraswamy, "The Perilous Bridge of welfare," Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, 8). 22 Stekel, Die Sprache des Traumes, p. 287. 28 Ibid., p. 286. 24 "The problem is not new," writes Dr. C. G. Jung, "for all ages before us have believed in gods in some form or other. Only an unparalleled theless, in the multitude of myths and legends that have been preserved to us, or collected from the ends of the earth, we may yet see delineated something of our still human course. To hear and profit, however, one may have to submit somehow to purgation and surrender." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"The stakes in terms of human welfare are too high for me to rest easy in the belief that clever theory or fancy math alone can provide the answers we so desperately seek. How do we best overcome adversity? How do we best flourish? You may well decide, now that you've read what science says about positivity, that it's time to begin experimenting with it in your own life, to raise your own positivity ratio and locate your own buoyancy. I've written Part II of this book to help you achieve just that. Raise Your Ratio Where Are You Now?" - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)
