Do you hear the voices from different directions? |
Do these voices change "character"? |
Is any bodily pain in sync with voices? |
Does your voice ever seem like it is not your own? |
But I know I'm sane. |
Were you diagnosed by a therapist as schizophrenic because you talked about gang-stalking? |
This is a Schizophrenia thread so if you are sane, maybe there is another place you can post this? I really want to be educated about this. I believe your story and I think this is a real issue in modern day society. |

PATNA: CM Nitish Kumar on Wednesday made an on-the-spot inspection of two solar power plants at Champapur and Radhiya villages in West Champaran district. |
A 20kW solar mini grid plant has been installed at Champapur to provide power connection to all households under the Har Ghar Bijli Yojana. A total of 121 families in the village have been provided power connection from the grid. |
CM visited the houses of Etwaria Devi, Gorakh Oraon, Chandi Oraon, Parashnath Oraon and a few others to himself verify the availability of power in their homes. He also inquired about the other problems of the villagers. |
After Champapur, the CM went to the Government Primary School at Champapur-Don and inspected a stall of agricultural equipment. He also launched a separate agriculture feeder there by distributing papers to providing connection to the farmers. He also distributed cheques among the beneficiaries of the Village Transport... |
Nitish, later, visited Radhiya and inspected the functioning of a 10kW solar power plant. He also visited the house of Bhoop Narayan Mahto to verify the electricity connection. |
The CM said those entrusted with the responsibility to install solar power plants in the villages would also ensure their maintenance for the next five years. |
The CM also said he had been receiving grievances from people that the LED bulbs being distributed among them were getting fused in a very short period. “But, it is a matter of national level,” he said. |
Nitish also told reporters that he had advised the departments concerned to take necessary steps to install solar plants in all residential schools for SCs/STs and EBCs so that people could be made more aware about solar energy. |
He said the power distribution company officials had been asked to install solar street lights on each electric pole in the villages. |
We asked our readers. Here are the closed Disney rides and attractions you wish were still around. |
If you've been following along, you know that 2014 has brought some major changes to Walt Disney World Resort. |
May brought the addition of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster in the Fantasyland section of Magic Kingdom, but the theme this year has been more subtraction than addition. |
You could say it's out with the old and in with the new. |
Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot are the two parks experiencing the most significant changes. |
Hollywood Studios bid farewell to The American Idol Experience and the Studio Backlot Tour, one of the park's longest-running attractions. |
In August, Disney officials announced some major changes to Epcot's World Showcase Entertainment lineup. Four shows -- Off Kilter, Spirit of America Fife & Drum Corps, Mo’Rockin’ and the World Showcase Players ended in September. |
A lumberjack show at the Canada pavilion was the first of several new acts at the World Showcase. |
Maelstrom, the long-running Viking-themed attraction inside Epcot's Norway pavilion took its final voyage Oct. 5. |
The ride opened in 1988 and will be renovated for a new attraction based on the film "Frozen." The attraction is scheduled to open in early 2016. |
Changes at Walt Disney World are no a new occurrence, however. |
In 1998, fans of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride came out in force with signs and T-shirts to protest the closing of one of the Magic Kingdom's original rides. |
Like Maelstrom, The Living Seas attraction at Epcot was renovated and renamed after a popular Disney animated film -- The Seas with Nemo & Friends. The popularity of Nemo led way to the end of Tarzan Rocks, a musical show that was closed Jan. 21, 2006 to be replaced by Finding Nemo: The Musical at Disney's Animal Kingd... |
Horizons, a popular future-themed attraction at Epcot, closed in 1999 to make way for Mission: SPACE, while The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter attraction at Magic Kingdom was closed in 2003 and replaced by Stitch's Great Escape! |
In honor of the changes at Disney World this year, we asked our readers and Disney fanatics for their favorite closed rides and attractions at the "Happiest Place on Earth." |
View the gallery above for the 11 most mentioned attractions, along with some honorable mentions and some closed entertainment options (Pleasure Island, Adventurers Club, etc.) that don't fit into the "closed attractions" guidelines. |
Tarzan Rocks was a musical show at the Theatre in the Wild stage at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It was closed Jan. 21, 2006 and replaced by Finding Nemo: The Musical. |
'We and U.S. envoy George Mitchell found more common ground on all the main issues including Iran and the Palestinians than was reflected in the media - that's how Zalman Shoval, a former Israeli Ambassador to Washington and adviser to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, summed up the recent meetings in Israel. Shoval s... |
When it came to the American position in favor of the two-state solution for two peoples, Netanyahu had told Mitchell that he was opposed to another 'Hamastan' being created on the West Bank, similar to the Hamas takeover in Gaza - this was the result of U.S. pressure for a Palestinian election that Hamas exploited to ... |
Ambassador Shoval spoke of different assessments on how to proceed and the best way to prevent Iran from exploiting radical Islamist movements to spread its hegemony over the Middle East. On one hand, there was the approach that favored 'moving full blast ahead to establishing a Palestinian state'. However, Shoval said... |
Referring to the two-state solution, George Mitchell spoke specifically of a 'Jewish state'. This was viewed as the first time that an American official used such a term. Netanyahu has argued that if Israel is being urged to accept a Palestinian state, it only stands to reason that the Palestinians accept Israel as the... |
Moreover, Shoval added it was very strange that Abbas, who depends on Israeli security for his survival on the West Bank after losing half of the Palestinians to Hamas in Gaza, was now trying to dictate to Israel and the U.S. as well. However, Prime Minister Netanyahu has said he is not making the issue a precondition ... |
During the Mitchell meeting, did a connection emerge between the Palestinian question and Iran? Shoval said there was such a link but not the way it was reported in the media. It was not as if Mitchell had told Netanyahu that if it wanted American support on Iran, Israel must remove settlements, and he added 'it was no... |
In light of the deterioration in their relations, after Egypt caught Iranian - backed Hezbollah operating subversively on Egyptian territory against the Mubarak regime, was there now an opportunity for Israel to follow up the Saudi peace initiative which is now supported by the Arab League? Shoval said it could not be ... |
(CN) – A bludgeoned corpse found this week in Mexico perpetuated the country’s plague of press killings, yet the stories of two men who fled to the United States after receiving death threats show how hard it is for Mexican reporters to win asylum. |
The prosecutor’s office of the northeastern border state of Tamaulipas said Hector Gonzalez Antonio’s body was found Tuesday morning on a dirt road in the state capital of Ciudad Victoria. |
Gonzalez, the sixth Mexican journalist killed this year, covered crime for the Mexican national newspaper Excelsior. The paper’s editorial director called him a “magnificent person” and urged authorities to track down his killers, a Hail Mary in a country where experts say less than 10 percent of murders are even inves... |
Gonzalez is the 17th Mexican journalist slain since 2017, an epidemic that has sunk the country to No. 147 out of the 180 countries on Reporters Without Borders’ 2018 World Press Freedom Index. |
José Luis Benavides, a journalism professor at California State University, Northridge, was a reporter in Mexico in the 1980s. He founded the school’s student newspaper El Nuevo Sol in 2007. |
Benavides said Mexico’s media system seems illogical through the lens of the U.S. press due to the many constraints Mexican reporters have on their coverage. |
Media owners often have connections with organized crime, or corrupt government officials, he said, and newsrooms are often infiltrated by moles. |
The third Mexican journalist killed this year was Leobardo Vázquez, who covered crime and police in the Gulf state Veracruz on his online publication Enlace Informative Regional. Gunmen shot him on March 21 at the taco stand he ran next to his house. |
Experts say it’s common for Mexican journalists to have side jobs and take bribes from government agencies in return for favorable coverage because they are not paid well. |
“Once you receive the money then you are obligated to not say anything really negative about the people who are giving you money,” Benavides said. |
Molly Molloy, a research librarian at New Mexico State University and Latin America specialist, tracks murders in Mexico. |
She said Vazquez’s was one of 10,395 homicides from January through April this year, an average of 87 people per day, citing statistics provided by the Mexican government. |
Molloy said Mexico’s murder rate jumped from 8,000 in 2006 to 27,000 in 2011. Last year it eclipsed 29,000. |
She suspects much of the violence wracking Mexico this year—besides journalists, numerous candidates for public office have been murdered—is tied to the federal, state and local offices up for grabs in this presidential election year. |
Benavides said the British human rights group Article 19, named after a clause in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights that states, “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression,” has diligently documented murders in Mexico and its findings are surprising. |
“The majority of attacks on journalists in Mexico come from government sources, which seems counterintuitive from an American point of view. Because the assumption is the Mexican government is the one in charge of fighting the drug war and crime and extortion,” he said. |
Accompanied by his then 15-year-old son, former Mexican journalist Emilio Soto Gutiérrez, a single father, who lived and reported in the northern border state Chihuahua, turned himself in to immigration agents at the border and applied for asylum in June 2008 after military officials threatened him. |
“It was a general and a colonel in the Mexican Army, national figures, who threatened him for writing a small story back in 2005,” his attorney Eduardo Beckett said in a phone interview. |
Molloy works with an immigration attorney translating for Spanish-speaking political asylum applicants during interviews at the El Paso Detention Center and other immigration lockups in the Southwest. |
She befriended Gutiérrez when he came to the United States. She said Gutiérrez and his son lived in Las Cruces, New Mexico for nearly 10 years, and he made a living as a gardener and catering cook. |
But Gutiérrez and his son have been locked up in the El Paso Detention Center since December. ICE took them into custody after an immigration judge denied their asylum applications in July 2017. |
Father and son caught a break May 15 when the Board of Immigration Appeals ordered a new asylum hearing. |
The board found that the immigration judge needs to consider new evidence, namely a letter from the U.S. State Department stating Mexico is the second most dangerous country for journalists after Syria. |
Beckett said Gutiérrez has received support from an unexpected ally, former Fox News star and best-selling author Bill O’Reilly. |
Numerous media organizations and newspaper editorial boards have also expressed their support for Gutiérrez in friend-of-the-court briefs and editorials. |
Beckett said Gutiérrez’s asylum hearing has not yet been scheduled, but he is trying to set it for August. |
Though Gutiérrez and his son are being held in a detention center, Beckett said that’s an euphemism. |
Beckett said Gutiérrez’s case exemplifies how President Donald Trump’s administration has criminalized the asylum process, and his client is fighting depression and losing weight as he sits behind bars. |
Martin Méndez Pineda got a harsh taste of the U.S. immigration system in 2017. Méndez, who is in his mid 20s, was a reporter for Novedades, a newspaper in Acapulco in the southern state of Guerrero. |
According to Méndez’s attorney Carlos Spector, Mexican Judicial Police attacked him and aimed a gun at him after he wrote an article that described how heavily armed officers tried to handcuff an injured man who had crashed his Volkswagen after its brakes went out. |
Though U.S. immigration agents found Méndez had a credible fear of returning to Mexico–credible fear is a requirement to win an asylum case–U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said he was a flight risk. |
ICE refused to grant him humanitarian parole so he could live with his cousin in California while his case played out. |
Tired of being shuffled from one detention center to the next, Méndez gave up on his asylum claim in spring 2017 and returned to Mexico, where he is no longer working as a journalist and is under the protection of Reporters Without Borders, according to Spector’s assistant Gloria Amesquita. |
Méndez described his experience in U.S. immigration prisons in an April 2017 statement released by Reporters Without Borders. |
He said ICE transferred him to a detention center in Sierra Blanca, Texas, 80 miles southeast of El Paso. |
Molloy, the border specialist, said although the detention center is in a desert where the days are scorching and the nights are chilly, people sleep in barracks that are partly open to the elements. |
Despite his ordeal, Méndez ended his missive on a hopeful note. |
“After all of the agony I have experienced, I hope that, when other journalists feel threatened as a result of their work and decide to seek political asylum, they will not have to fear being detained for several months and being separated from their families, and that all journalists in danger will receive refuge,” he... |
Successful team projects often depend on situational leadership. |
Being responsible for a team’s success can make or break a small business manager’s career. Having to understand -- let alone manage -- personality types, work styles, delegation and deadlines often is difficult. Using situational leadership techniques can save a project from ruin, provided they are applied correctly a... |
University professor, author and consultant Paul Hersey and management consultant and author Ken Blanchard are credited with developing the situational leadership theory. The Hersey-Blanchard collaboration is a set of leadership principles that supervisors and managers in a number of industries embrace as an effective ... |
Workforce demographics and group dynamics constantly change and evolve. Having multiple generations in the workforce creates unprecedented challenges for leaders who must discern what works best for employees of different generations. Dysfunction among employees with different values and work styles has a negative impa... |
Situational leadership focuses on maturity as an important factor in project leadership. Turning around a bad project using situational leadership requires the leader to assess the maturity of individual team members as well as maturity levels for the entire team or work group. Leaders can assess maturity levels throug... |
Individual maturity requires introspection. Employees who realize their capabilities as well as their limitations likely have higher maturity levels than employees who believe they can perform every task. Team assessment can reveal this type of maturity as well as complementary skill sets and talents that form the foun... |
Leaders in charge of teams whose work isn’t coming together as expected or whose infighting prevents collegial working relationships should act immediately to determine how best to apply situational leadership principles. Instead of allowing random team members to assume de facto leadership roles, a team manager should... |

In a new play staged by Adishakti Laboratory for Theatre Arts and Research, theatreperson Nimmy Raphel looks at the present through the lens of mythology. |
When Bali was staged at the National School of Drama (NSD) in Delhi in February, every seat was taken. Audience members lined the walls, sat on the aisle and clogged the steps. More people waited at the gate of the auditorium. Bali is the first new play to come out of Puducherry-based Adishakti Laboratory for Theatre A... |
“I am at that stage in my life and theatre where I am concerned about how we take positions. I am not talking politically, except that the personal space can also be political. I am trying to find out if it is possible to see an event from every angle before coming to a conclusion. Bali’s death allowed me to explore mu... |
In conventional readings, the death of Bali casts Sugreeva and Ram as unethical. Raphel shows Sugreeva as being constantly subjugated by violence at home. “When there is no place for dialogue, what do you do as an individual? You will retaliate,” says Raphel. Ram emerges as a hero burdened by his image of being a Purus... |
“I like the epics because the myth and present reality are like two different times with the same content and emotions. Ramayana has doubts, feelings, jealousies and other emotions,” says Raphel. In the solo, Nidrawathwam (2011), she plays Laxman, who doesn’t sleep for 14 years, and Kumbhakarna, who sleeps for six mont... |
In Raphel’s plays, serious themes are underlined with humour, an influence of her childhood. “I was an uncontrollable child. My two younger sisters were quieter than I was but equally naughty. I don’t remember studying at any point. We were only playing and a lot of it has come into the productions I make, especially t... |
Nobody in Raphel’s family is into art, but her parents recognised her talent when she would spend hours with the village teacher who taught dance and drama to children. A Mohiniyattam and Kuchipudi dancer, she was learning dance at the Kerala Kalamandalam in Thrissur from 1995 to 2001, where she met Chawla. “If Veenapa... |
The Indian market will continue to see heightened volatility in the current quarter because of a host of expected negative factors. |
A combination of anxiety over the outcome of the upcoming elections in three major north Indian states, fear of continued slide in rupee exchange value vis-à-vis USD and persistent rise of crude prices globally are expected to further rock the Indian bourses in the coming weeks, with the S&P BSE flagship index Sensex s... |
The S&P BSE Sensex ended at 34,376 and NSE Nifty at 10,316 on Friday, the last trading session, down from their all time peaks of 38,694 and 11,691 respectively. |
“The Indian market will continue to see heightened volatility in the current quarter because of a host of expected negative factors, with the Sensex likely to come down to 30,000 level by the year end,” Vijay Kedia, MD of Kedia Stock and Commodity Research, told Arabian Business. |
