How to Find Help Services Fast

A young homeless mother with a toddler recently asked how to find help. It was February and very cold. Help is  available in these economic ups and downs, and with the right information, you can find it quickly. No child in America should be homeless. Share this word with others.  

Wherever you are located, find the local social services referral network, which has been called CalVac, FirstLink, Helping Hands, and other names in Franklin County Ohio.

If you have a cell phone, can borrow one, or can get to a payphone (which are dwindling in numbers in the USA), dial O for Operator, answer the question about your city and state, then ask for the number of the social services referral network in your city. If the operator does not understand, tell him or her that you have children and are homeless, are in trouble, and need help. Ask what emergency agency can help you. You should receive a toll-free number to the social services network. Call them and ask for help.

Bargain Shopping

With so many people in America still unemployed in the winter of 2011, bargain shopping is not only a good hobby, but also a necessity.

A few consumers fall victim to constant advertising. They seem to me to spend too much money, eat too much, waste too much, and accumulate too much credit card debt — Why? – Perhaps lack of awareness, boredom, a desire to make themselves look more prosperous than they are, or an obsession/addiction.

I don’t know about your reactions, but I’ve never experienced a “high” from shopping (or chocolate… or shoes) and I don’t want to do so. Shopping should be fun without being some type of “drug.” 

Frugality can help a consumer to stay within a budget, have a small accumulation of on-hand savings for an emergency or a special occasion, and to be less dependent on the larger Retail Industry. This can lead to smart investments in the future out of the savings realized.  See how I do it at:

Make a Living Blogging and on HubPages – Celebrity Tips

Celebrities make a living form Blogging and so can you. Many non-celebrities are beginning to make an acutal  living from their blogs and from HubPages now as well. 2011 is the time to begin writing for money (see link below).

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a website you can join and uses tmblr for blogging as hitRECordJoe there and on Twitter. it all works together for greatness.

He’s quite a character all the way back to 3rd Rock From the Sun and I look forward to seeing him in the future The Dark Knight Rises as a new Bat Man villain. He runs a production company (you can join) and features several ‘tiny films” on the website and tmblr. It is a concept I love – animations and live action of  30 seconds, a minute, 6 minutes. Joe will be producing his own feature-length films in no time.

If you have not yet seen him in 500 Days of Summer, his production number in the middle of the film is worth the price of the whole DVD. He was absolutely superb in the recent Inception . You may remember that he was in 10 Things I Hate About You with Heath Ledger , a modern high school take on The Taming of the Shrew. He has plenty of opportunity for making money from a blog, using it as part of his resume. He’s doing great!

Top 15 BEST Hot California Cities for Jobs and Travel

I received a question: “Where is a good place to move to have access to more jobs?”

In January 2011, California job listings gathered from all Internet sites comprised more than 530,000 listings.  These do not include the unadvertised or hidden job market.

Where are these jobs, since many Unemployed workers are shouting THERE ARE NO JOBS!?

There are more people looking for work in many cities of America than there are jobs – probably twice as many. But, jobs exist and you have to compete for them. You may even need to move to get one.  

THE TOP 15 CALIFORNIA CITIES WITH MANY JOBS are available at the link below. You will also find the high demand job listings included.  A few of the cities are experiencing increase job openings – like Mountain View, with a 167% increase.

Shopping for Bargains without a Paupers Mentality

Some people enjoy bargain shopping and discount coupons. It’s fun!

Others like to save money they can use for other necessities, luxuries, and emergencies. That’s a good reason to bargain shop in the 2010′s – especially with national economic worries.

Still other people bargain shop because they cannot afford retail prices in grocery, clothing, restaurants, and other retail places – especailly upscale establishments.

I think all bargain shoppers can enjoy bargain hunting, even those that MUST save money to make ends meet. It should not be a mark of poverty.

Let’s acknowledge that our country produces and imports some cheaply made goods at both low and high prices. Avoid  both types. 

If consumers can resist Madison Avenue and media advertisements that urge and even trick them into spending money best used elsewhere, then they have a victory. Look a the article below for links to regional bargains and tips for finding even more in your own town.

Divorce — Japan Gaining on USA 2005 – 2020

UPDATE 2011

Japanese Baby Boomers are retiring, leaving fewer taxpayers to replace them. Japan reprots some of the highest life expectancies globally, but low birth rates. There were 1.19 million deaths in 2010, the most since 1947 when the records started. Japan is almost at Zero Population growth.

In 2010, Japan contracted by 123,000 people, losing population numbers in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 to cancer, heart disease, stroke, and others. Age 65+ = 25% of Japan’s population in December 2010. Younger people are putting off marriage and children. [NOTE from Careerping: In fact, young women in 1980s' Japan began to rebel against marriage and children, a trend that has extended 30 years. Japan is becoming a nation of Senior Citizens.]

The year 2010 showed 706,000 recorded marriages, the lowest figure since 1954. Unwed pregnancies are an insignificant number, so fewer marriages = fewer children = fewer Japanse.

Other, better paying jobs are available within 15 to 20 miles.

Everyone Deserves Work

Human Rights Day is December 10 – Make it Every Day

********************************************************

While we are taking Holiday Vacation from work or looking for new work, we can remember and have a kind thought for all who deserve work in America, but cannot yet find it.  With unemployment at nearly 10% and new jobs being listed every day, we still do not have enough jobs in America and are short by a few million positions.

Discrimination in interviewing and hiring would be most insidious in these days of need at the near-end of a global recession.  

How will you celebrate International Human Rights Day this year on December 1o, or any other day you have chosen? The first step is to become aware, which you can do at the link above.  Good manners and speaking out about bad behavior during the Holiday Rush can be a start.

Be blessed and have a merry December!

North Korea’s “God” has no qualms about nuking USA

Dictator Kim Jong Il, by national tradition and his own belief, claims to be God. He proclaims that his son will be God when he inherits the dictatorial throne in future.

North Korea is a government wasteland  whose military is large, because that is the only profession in which NK citizens are permitted to eat more than one small meal – half poisonous roots – per day. Yet, the military rank and file are  still thin. Much of the general population eats only gruel made from ground corn cobs (no corn), along with whatever organic trash they can find.  The ground corn cobs are mixed 50% with discarded lotus root – poisonous and blind-making. 

South Korea on 11/23/2010 held military drills in its own country and was bombed by North Korea, who claimed SK was on the wrong side of the line. They were not, but people were killed and wounded, regardless.

A leader that believes he is the Living God and entitled to whatever he wants, including starving his own citizens, will not hesitate to launch a nuclear attack against America after such capability is achieved. Even if such attack destroys the world. He believes he and his son are immortal in the earth This fact makes North Korea more dangerous than any other terrorist group.  See more at:
