Lord Knows?. From Summit Consulting Group, Inc. -- Alan Weiss, Ph.D.

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Saturday, May 31, 2025   It's fascinating what we take for granted. I'm a lector in church, and since I've been a professional speaker as part of my career for decades, and I'm in the Speakers Hall of Fame, I'm pretty good at it! One day, before the services began, I was reviewing the readings (again) in the rear of the church when a woman stopped, looked in, and said, “No wonder you're so good. You practice!” Adblock test (Why?) source http://www.expertclick.com/NewsRelease/Lord-Knows-From-Summit-Consulting-Group-Inc-Alan-Weiss-PhD,2025310753.aspx

Stress Is the Brain Drain Robbing You of Everything

Image
Books are a buzz with stress, but how many of us take it to heart and how can we begin to gain power over it and help ourselves in the process? Photo by Elsa Tonkinwise on Unsplash During test preparation, you sit down to study, yet your mind remains completely empty. You have lost your locker combination for the third time this week, but you used it every day during the previous months. This experience matches yours while you maintain a normal mental state. The scientific term for brain drain is stress-induced cognitive impairment . Your Brain on Stress: What’s Really Happening? Brain cells transform when stress occurs because your mental fog becomes real. Stanford University research demonstrates that excessive stress triggers your brain to produce cortisol in large amounts, which should serve emergency purposes, but develops toxicity through prolonged presence. The prolonged activation of cortisol functions as a fire alarm that becomes ignored yet continues to harm your h...

Building a 100-Year Health Plan?Together as a Family

Image
“The greatest wealth is health.” — Virgil If you knew your family could live to 100, how would you plan differently? What would you do today to make sure everyone—from your children to your parents to your future great-grandkids—lives not just a long life, but a healthy, fulfilling one? Longevity isn’t just an individual journey—it’s a family affair. And with increasing life expectancy, it’s time we stop thinking of health in short-term fixes and start planning for long-term vitality. According to the Stanford Center on Longevity , we’re entering a new era where living well to 100 is not just possible—it’s probable ( Stanford Longevity Project ). But thriving across a century takes intention. It requires shared values, habits, and support systems—built together, as a family. Here’s how to start building a 100-year health plan with the people you love most. 1. Have the Conversation—Now Health shouldn’t be a taboo topic or only discussed during crises. Start talking openly about ...

Democrats Desperately Need a Competitive Primary in 2028

Image
Since 2008, the Democratic Party in the United States has not experienced a truly competitive presidential primary. This lack of internal competition, I believe, has contributed to the party’s struggle to produce genuinely inspiring presidential candidates for more than a decade. Consider what happened in 2016: President Barack Obama strongly favored Hillary Clinton as his successor, and the party establishment worked to ensure her nomination. While primaries are intended to reflect the will of the voters, the Democratic leadership retained considerable influence over the outcome — and exercised it accordingly. A similar pattern emerged in 2020. Joe Biden’s campaign began with disappointing results in early primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire. Nevertheless, once moderate contenders dropped out and rallied behind him, Biden was able to consolidate support and effectively halt Bernie Sanders’ momentum. By 2024, the party had foregone a primary process altogether. This departur...

Author Deric Whaley?s book ?The Ride? gives unique insider view on prison life

Image
What is life really like in prison? Not just the tough guys flexing muscles or wise old long-time convicts offering sage advice seen in the movies, but the drudgery, the small victories and losses, and the philosophizing, that mark day-to-day prison existence—and existentialism.             Deric Whaley tells the real story in his book The Ride.             Whaley, a former Haymarket Center O'Hare Airport outreach worker with roots in Chicago's North Lawndale, Humboldt Park, and Bridgeport communities, did some time as an inmate in Illinois's prison system and provides a perspective that only an insider can.             "It's called The Ride because once you open up the first page, you know you'll be going on quite a ride when you read this book," Whaley says.          ...

Preventive Medicine

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Thursday, May 22, 2025   Are you familiar with Tdap vaccine? The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) . It's recommended for adolescents and adults who have not previously received Tdap or have had a dose more than 10 years prior, or after a severe wound. The vaccine is also recommended for pregnant women. If you don't “believe” in the efficacy of vaccines, that's your call. But I do, and the brief discomfort to me is far outsweighed by the preventive value. Ask your doctor.

ALLAH vs. The ART of the DEAL

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: Beverly Hills , CA Listen to “ALLAH vs. The ART of the DEAL” on Spreaker. President Trump’s Art of the Deal is brilliant, but are Radical Islamist-sympathizers on the same page? Today, The Terrorist Therapist® Carole Lieberman, M.D., poses the question: can Trump’s clever logic overcome the illogical religious zeal that drives terrorists to rape and murder? It’s the nagging question underlying his recent trip to the Middle East. President Trump visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. He met with their leaders, as well as the leader of Syria. He was given a royal welcome – with horses, camels, hair flip dancers, and dined on delicacies in fine palaces. He made billions of dollars worth of trade agreements benefitting America. But, each of these countries and leaders have a ‘mixed bag’ of positive and negative relations with the U.S. For example, Trump made lucrative deals with Saudi Arabia and even arranged for an A...

Rare Federal Hiring Opportunities for Recent Graduates Amid Government Hiring Freeze

Image
Despite widespread federal cutbacks, valuable pathways still exist for new graduates seeking government careers. The Current Federal Employment Climate If you’ve been following the news about federal employment, you know the landscape has changed dramatically in 2025. The federal government is currently under a hiring freeze that began in January and has been extended through July 15th. Many agencies have undergone significant reductions in force (RIFs), with some departments losing up to 25% of their workforce. But here’s the important part: not all federal jobs are affected equally by these constraints. The federal government has designated certain positions as “essential,” and these jobs are being actively filled despite the overall hiring freeze. Additionally, certain programs specifically designed for recent graduates remain active, offering valuable entry points into federal service during this otherwise restrictive period. Recent Graduate Programs: Federal Prioritie...
