			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/ico/758.png" hspace="2" width="128" height="128" alt="Natural Development thru Affirmation and Visualization " style="float: left;" />Our mind and body takes us through a life long series of processes in which it works to repair any damage that we lived.<br />
 One can invigorate the mind and body to live a better life.<br />
A supporting fact is that emotional suffering activates Neuro-chemicals that can compromise energy and resistance.<br />
 On the other hand, mental calmness has a nutritious effect on the body.<br />
 Evidence discovered by scientists found that people with some mental trauma or depression have increased secretion of cortisol from the adrenal glands.<br />
 This natural substance interferes with the immune system, which is the bodys major defence against diseases like cancer, infections and other outside invaders.<br />
 Consequently, persons with emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, or those who are under chronic stress may be under greater risk of dying from a number of stress related diseases.<br />
<span id="more-79"></span>   Now that we know for sure the damaging effects of stress and concern on our emotional and mental well-being, can we take steps to improve them?In order to ease the mental confusion, one has to discover the cause through affirmation and visualization.<br />
 One must understand the reasons for our disturbance and constant worry.<br />
 We accomplish the task by analyzing the self while staying attuned with our thoughts actions.<br />
 Your inner-self houses the key to reveal your problems.<br />
 The mind can help you visualize yourself and the problem while affirmatively manipulating through each problem.<br />
 Once you recognize what is happening, the rest of the process becomes lighter on your feet.<br />
  How do I disentangle the mysteries of my mind?We can choose techniques to untangle the web of mysteries in the mind.<br />
 The techniques we can use include conform to living a healthy life-style, meditation, aromatherapy, inspirational music or videos among others.<br />
 Meditation is a trendy technique.<br />
 Meditation moves the mind to focus your attention and concentrate on a single thought.<br />
 It helps you to extend, probing deeper into your inner-mind.<br />
 By focusing on your experiences and events, you can know you better.<br />
 Past actions, behaviours, knowledge, fears and reactions help you to peek into your inner-self.<br />
 It has to be a continuous process of understanding and evaluation.<br />
Another technique that is gaining popularity is inspirational music.<br />
 It helps people to move into a subconscious state and to probe deep into their minds to find their answers for their questions.<br />
 Once we have the answers to the questions haunting us, then it is up to us to move forward in the right direction.<br />
 By moving forward, what I mean is that we should take steps to reduce and in due course remove all our stress, fear, trauma, depression and anxiety.<br />
 Our external world has a profound impact on us.<br />
 Unfortunately, this external world has more evil than good.<br />
 This can be another factor influencing our mental and emotional health apart from our inner turmoil and worry.<br />
 We must take concrete steps to ensure that we filter out the negative influence and take in only the positive influence.<br />
 We should consciously choose to pick the positive points in any negative situation.<br />
 We should also motivate ourselves to shut the negative forces from swaying our minds.<br />
 Self-development is a by-product of self-healing.<br />
 It results in self-confidence, self-belief, self-respect and self-reliance.<br />
 It helps us to stand up and do what we believe in.<br />
 It gives us the confidence to take on the world.<br />
 We become less dependent on external forces and more dependent on the internal forces of our rejuvenated mind.<br />
We learn to respect others and ourselves.<br />
 We realize the importance and purpose of living.<br />
 We help others and in turn help ourselves.<br />
 Our stress and anxiety is replaced by serenity and calmness.<br />
 Positive thinkers reflect on others personality, which starts a cycle of developing successful people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/ico/746.png" hspace="2" width="128" height="128" alt="Choosing the Perfect Collectors Car Club for Kids" style="float: left;" />There are thousands of car clubs all around the country and selecting a club that is suitable for your child is something that can be a very interesting task.<br />
  It is always a wise decision to carefully check out any club that you are considering signing your child up for.<br />
  You certainly do not want to allow your child to join a club that you know nothing at all about.<br />
  There are so many opportunities to get hurt without appropriate supervision, but a good car club can be a great place for a child to learn about cars.<br />
Always look for a club that is open to children being members.<br />
 While most clubs are open to the idea of working with children, not all are.<br />
  This means it is very important to ensure that the club you are considering will be welcoming to your child.<br />
  It is also very important to ensure that you know what time requirements are involved.<br />
<span id="more-78"></span>  For example, many clubs require members to participate in several activities a year, and this means that until your child is able to drive themselves to the meeting you will be responsible for the transportation.<br />
  You need to ensure that the schedule fits into your needs as well.<br />
Many people do not realize just how much is involved in car clubs until after their child has signed up.<br />
  While the time issues are not as great for those who are able to allow their children to drive themselves it can be a huge problem for those who have to do all of the transportation.<br />
  It is also very important that you know exactly what is expected of you as their parent.<br />
  There are some clubs that require the parents of minors to also participate, ensuring you know these details ahead of time can help you make the best choice.<br />
Many clubs have other children already as members.<br />
  If your child is uncomfortable with being surrounded by numerous adults, only it may be a wise idea to look for one of these clubs.<br />
  This would allow your child to interact with other children as well as the adults and still gain all of the benefits that the club has to offer.<br />
  Slowly easing into the clubs activities with adults may be a wise idea as well to ensure that your child is completely comfortable.<br />
 Never discount the importance of a good car club for a child who is heavily interested in cars.<br />
  This can be a great activity for those who are interested in antique cars and even racecars because they are able to learn from the people who are highly knowledgeable and experienced.<br />
  Remember, just as adults are able to learn from the various other members of the club, so can children, but it is still very important to make good connections.<br />
  It is also important when selecting a club to find out if members are required to have a car.<br />
  Some clubs require that all members have a car that is able to be driven, however not all clubs have this requirement.<br />
  If your child has a car already, then this is not such an issue.<br />
  For children being a part of a car club is a great learning experience and can be a wonderful venture into the world of cars.<br />
  Never discount the importance of a good car club for your child.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/ico/1300.png" hspace="2" width="128" height="128" alt="XM Radio Categories" style="float: left;" />Here are the main music categories that you can find on XM satellite radio broadcasts:The Decades - songs from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90sCountry  classic country hits are at home here, but you will also get a good share of new pop country and blue grass country.<br />
 Hits  this is for all hit lovers out there.<br />
 Packed with Top 20 on Channel 20, the hits XM Radio channels also include some FM channels: KISS FM in LA or Houston&#8217;s Pop FM station, KMIX.<br />
 You also get MTV and VH1 stations and if youre in the mood for some popular love songs you can tune into The Heart and Lite channel.<br />
 Another interesting channel is Cinemagic, where you will be able to listen to all your favorite movie soundtracks without being bothered by commercials.<br />
 There are also two Christian rock channels and a classic alternative channel.<br />
 Rock  XM Radio features 10 commercial free channels dedicated to rock:* Deep Tracks: classic and contemporary hits * Bone Yard and XM Liquid Metal: the first channel goes with classic hard rock while the XM Liquid Metal plays hardcore metal.<br />
<span id="more-77"></span> * Fred: there is a lot of classic alternative music, some 80s alternative rock and punk music* Top Tracks: classic rock tracks* Unsigned: unsigned bands * XMU, XM Cafe, the Loft, XM Music Lab: soft rock, eclectic rock and any other rock type that doesnt fit anywhere elseUrban  rap and hip hop, both modern and from the 80s.<br />
Jazz &#038; Blues  6 channels altogether out of which four are commercial freeDance  techno and trance music rules here, but you also get some disco musicLatin  5 commercial free channels of Latin, Spanish and Mexican hits.<br />
International Music  5 channels of music from around the world.<br />
 You might find these five channels a welcomed break from all the music you are used to.<br />
 Fresh music from around the world is presented daily.<br />
 Classical  classical music from both famous and less renown classical musicians.<br />
 You get the XM Pops, XM Classics, Vox and Fine Tuning.<br />
 As you would expect, all 4 channels are commercial free.<br />

 These channels are commercial free, which is really enjoyable.<br />
 Talk &#038; Variety  there are different talk channels and shows that are really engaging, such as E! Entertainment Radio, ABC News and Talk, Buzz XM, Ask channel, The Power and Family Talk.<br />
 However, these channels have plenty of commercial time which is a bit of a disappointment from a paid subscription service.<br />
 Variation and contentThese are the things both XM Radio and Sirius are after.<br />
 With over 100 channels, each provider is able to identify and target all the important age and social groups in the United States.<br />
 When it comes to music, there are extremely specialized channels on XM Radio, so the consumer knows exactly what kind of music they will run into on that particular channel.<br />
 The kids channels are pretty good and the sports channels are also ok.<br />
 If you like to get your news TV style, XM Radios choice of channels is also interesting.<br />
 The fact that commercials are present is not that bothering, as they are only allowed to play 6 minutes of commercials per hour.<br />
 However, some of the music channels are kept 100% commercial free, which is good news for music fans who do not want their audition to be interrupted by intrusive commercials.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/ico/1080.png" hspace="2" width="128" height="128" alt="My Grandfather and Lasik" style="float: left;" />When I came home from college for the Thanksgiving holidays, I was very surprised to hear that he had undergone a Lasik operation for his vision.<br />
  It came to my attention immediately, as he was wearing sunglasses on a rainy Maryland afternoon.<br />
  Apparently one of the possible temporary side effects of the Lasik procedure is a sensitivity to light.<br />
  After talking with him privately, he hadn&#8217;t actually had any of the side effects that his Lasik physician had described, but was having a wonderful time making the family think that he did.<br />
  What a character.<br />
Granddad is one that always enjoys new gadgets, people&#8217;s sympathy, and the chance to tell another story to anyone willing to listen.<br />
  It almost seems that the Lasik procedure was tailor made for him, especially since his Lasik operation was essentially trouble free.<br />
  In addition to the sunglasses, the doctor that performed his Lasik surgery gave Granddad a pair of goggles to wear at night so that he would not rub his eyes in his sleep.<br />
<span id="more-76"></span>  Granddad also wore them at breakfast and for most meals, saying that a possible squirt in the eye from a grapefruit or wine glass was not allowed in the Lasik manual.<br />
  I should mention that we don&#8217;t usually drink wine, and that he was not given a Lasik manual.<br />
Two of the more common temporary side effects after Lasik surgery are sensitivity to light or to glare, especially at night, and some possibility of fluctuating vision for several days after the Lasik procedure.<br />
  I have never seen a man milk so much out of a combination of one or both of these symptoms, though he never had either one.<br />
He couldn&#8217;t clear dishes from the table because his fluctuating vision may have him drop the plates, and he couldn&#8217;t drive to the convenience store at night because.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
 well, you get the idea.<br />
  I do wonder why I was told the real story of his Lasik procedure, but I guess a secret partner makes the stories all the sweeter.<br />
As it turns out, the only real post Lasik symptom that he actually had was dry eyes, and he had eye drops for that.<br />
  As it turned out, he needed to get a second type of eye drops from his Lasik physician since he needed a thicker prescription to get through the night comfortably.<br />
  Granddad was surprised that he seemed to be a model Lasik patient at his age, though his doctor said he had done a number of very successful Lasik surgeries for clients into their seventies, and even a few in their eighties.<br />
I am surprised that Granddad bothered to look into a Lasik operation, for I never noticed that he had a problem with his glasses.<br />
  He says it was because Lasik would reveal the handsome man he is more clearly to the ladies, though he has been a widower for twelve years and seemed fine with that.<br />
He did say though that the clarity of vision that the Lasik procedure gave him is better than any he has had in over thirty years.<br />
  Perhaps that is true, for my post Lasik grandfather is more interested in things and more active than I have seen him in the last few years.<br />
  Perhaps Lasik is a part of that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/ico/928.png" hspace="2" width="128" height="128" alt="Self Determination and Emotions " style="float: left;" />How to work through emotional disruptions and help others to build self-determination: Think before you act is a well-known fact.<br />
 There is always a motto behind these words.<br />
 Think about what is on your mind and what the problem maybe.<br />
 Think of a way to change the way you can be different the next time the same problem may arise.<br />
 You may have issues that you may be frightened to mention and therefore may feel anger and this feeling may go once discussed and in the open.<br />
 There are many ways emotions that can arise when you are alone and feel as though there is no one to listen to you.<br />
 That is why opening up to oneself may be a good thing, and then at least you can focus and concentrate on doing something about it.<br />
 All the emotions that one may have can be opened up if one wants to talk about them.<br />
 Sometimes it&#8217;s better to tell a person how you are feeling and in what ways can they help you.<br />
<span id="more-75"></span> A person can assess the situation and then go forward and ask what is on their mind at the time.<br />
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses can also help as well.<br />
 Don&#8217;t be putting yourself down no matter what life throws at you.<br />
 There is always a way forward from any issues or situations that may come to hand.<br />
 Knowing your emotions and what effects they will have on you is essential to help work through the problems.<br />
 Try to explain in your own words what problems you have had, and think of the ways you can handle them in a constructive way.<br />
 There is always an answer for everyone&#8217;s emotions talking and telling people what is on your mind can also help.<br />
 Trying to recognize what has caused the emotions to arise in the first instance and doing this can help to rid a person of any bad feelings they may have had and work on how to fix things.<br />
 Work on how to make things better in the future.<br />
 Staying very composed and not letting things get to you can also help.<br />
 Always think clearly even where there is a lot of pressure involved.<br />
 There can be a lot of actors that may just have an influence on the way we see ourselves.<br />
  Some people stay strung up on emotions wondering why they say such things.<br />
 Also if someone is nice after the hurt has been said it is always on your mind, we may not notice someone being nice because of the thoughts on your mind at the time of the words.<br />
 It is also the same if we feel angry we may lash out in attempt to vent that anger.<br />
 Like in a dream that someone may have it isn&#8217;t a reality but in no way it is happening to you physical self.<br />
 Another example may be if a person is watching TV all that is in front is a screen and moving pictures it isn&#8217;t real.<br />
 Some people may not even feel motivated to do things but that can change if may be.<br />
 Instead of telling them what they want to do ask them what they want to do next after discussing things with them at this time.<br />
 Discuss certain aspects of an entity&#8217;s life for their growth to help them if you can.<br />
 Even by talking things through can help people a lot.<br />
 Despite what that person emotionally feels, you can reach out and give them a hand.<br />
 Building self-determination can help you manage your emotions and deal with other people that throw their emotions on you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/ico/59.png" hspace="2" width="128" height="128" alt="The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" style="float: left;" />&#8220;Listen children and you shall hear/The midnight ride of Paul Revere.<br />
&#8221; So begins a famous poem penned by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.<br />
 The poet&#8217;s rendition of events, while not historically accurate, is a great contribution to American folklore.<br />
 Paul Revere&#8217;s life was colorful, however, and facts alone make for interesting history.<br />
 Paul Revere was a man of many trades.<br />
 This father of sixteen worked a part-time dentist and once owned a hardware and home goods store.<br />
 His most constant work though was with metal, and his work was highly praised.<br />
 Revere cast cannons and bells, made silver teacup collections, and engraved the first Massachusetts state currency.<br />
 He also produced the copper sheeting that covers the Massachusetts State House dome.<br />
 To many, however, Revere is best known for one night spent as a Pony Express rider.<br />
 He was a midnight messenger right before decisive Revolutionary War battles in Concord and Lexington.<br />
<span id="more-74"></span> On the night of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere and militia member William Dawes were dispatched from Boston.<br />
 Dr.<br />
 Joseph Warren, the chief executive of the revolutionary Massachusetts government, ordered the men to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British army&#8217;s advancement across the Charles River.<br />
 Warren feared that the British would arrest Hancock and Adams and capture their cache of weapons.<br />
 Revere and Dawes were sent out in different directions; if either were caught, the message of an impending British invasion might still reach patriot leaders.<br />
 They also had a back-up plan in case both men were caught.<br />
 Revere instructed Robert Newman, who worked at the Old North Church, to communicate with lanterns.<br />
 One lantern placed in the steeple would alert colonists to a land-route invasion; two would signal that the British were advancing &#8220;by sea&#8221; across the Charles River.<br />
 As Revere set out on his midnight ride, Newman and Captain John Pulling briefly shone two lanterns from the Old North Church.<br />
Contrary to Longfellow&#8217;s poem, the riders did not shout, &#8220;The British are coming!&#8221; as they rode to Lexington; doing so could have easily brought their capture.<br />
 Furthermore, the colonists themselves were British! However, Revere did pass the news to colonists along his route.<br />
 Eyewitnesses reported the actual quote to be, &#8220;The regulars are coming out!&#8221;Both Paul Revere and William Dawes arrived in Lexington without being captured.<br />
 They met John Hancock and Samuel Adams at the Hancock-Clarke residence, which was Hancock&#8217;s boyhood home.<br />
 Hancock and Adams proceeded to update their battle plans.<br />
 Meanwhile, Revere and Dawes decided to head to Concord where the weapons were being stored.<br />
 A doctor named Samuel Prescott came along for the ride.<br />
 The three men were detained en route to Concord.<br />
 Prescott and Dawes escaped, and Dawes carried on to Concord.<br />
 Paul Revere, however, was detained for several hours.<br />
 King George&#8217;s troops then escorted him toward Lexington at gunpoint - but before they arrived in the city, sounds of gunshots led his captors away.<br />
 Revere was abandoned without a horse.<br />
 He walked back to Lexington and arrived in time to see the Battle on Lexington Green.<br />
 Revere&#8217;s warning allowed the revolutionary militia to defeat the British troops in Concord.<br />
 His role in the important midnight ride was not well-known until Longfellow published &#8220;The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere&#8221; in 1861, more than forty years after Revere&#8217;s death.<br />
 Today parts of Revere&#8217;s famous route are marked with signs reading &#8220;Revere&#8217;s Ride&#8221;.<br />

 This means we must come to a self-realization, which gives us a better understanding of our direction in life.<br />
 The course of action builds self-awareness, which empowers you to strive toward organizing your overall life.<br />
 Reaching a higher level of consciousness builds your insight so that you see the following steps to take in order to organize your life effectively.<br />
 Goals are essential in life.<br />
 If a person does not have goals, they often lose track of reality.<br />
 Having a purpose in life will assist one with setting principles and goals that promote new ideas, points, reason, and the like.<br />
 If you have purpose, you feel complete, since your intentions are on track.<br />
<span id="more-73"></span> Goals make a person feel as though he can accomplish anything, which makes the person feel motivation.<br />
 The most important way to realize your goals is to setup short-term goals that work toward long-term goals.<br />
 Once you setup your goals and plans however, you must realize that some setbacks will cause you to jump rail.<br />
 Accordingly, it is essential to set goals you can reach.<br />
 Moreover, setting up disaster and backup plans will protect you when you jump rail due to the obstacles that will get in your way or progress.<br />
 Once you set your goals, it is essential that you thrive to achieve and reach each goal.<br />
 Giving up will develop into stress.<br />
 It is essential to ask questions as you move along.<br />
 Asking questions will keep you in reality and help you achieve what you intend to accomplish.<br />
  Self-realization is ones ability to recognize their potentials.<br />
 The realization will bring you fulfillment.<br />
 At what time a person feels fulfilled that entity moves smoothly through their life and to the point of achieving their goals.<br />
 The ultimate development is self-organization.<br />
 Self-organization is the process that backs your goal setting routines and assists you further with achieving those goals.<br />
 This is because self-organization allows you to take control of your mind.<br />
  If you set goals that are out of your reach, it is likely you will never reach your goals.<br />
 Setting goals out of your reach will also frustrate you.<br />
 Thus, at what time you continue to fail you will lose self-esteem, self-control, confidence, and all mechanisms that make you a complete person.<br />
 We all have intentions in our life.<br />
 However, it takes us to find that purpose so that we can move through life with fewer problems.<br />
 It is because when one finds purpose they are better able to organize their thoughts and life.<br />
 Thus, looking at the goals consider what you think might be needed to reach the goals.<br />
 The first goal is obvious, since you have to apply you to become self-organized.<br />
 The second goal is to develop your critical thinking skills so that you can function while well during the process of self-development.<br />
 As for the long-term goal, this step will establish whether you win the race.<br />
 Clearly, you can see, it takes great effort to reach goals to win the competition; on the other hand, it takes resources and more to make it work.<br />
 Remember, goal realization is one achievement you have to make in life, but ultimately you have to continue through self-organization and development.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/ico/436.png" hspace="2" width="128" height="128" alt="Nocturnal Eating Syndrome - A Food Related Sleep Disorder" style="float: left;" />Nocturnal eating syndrome is a sleep disorder that is more common in women than men.<br />
 It is one of two eating disorders that are related to sleep.<br />
 The other is called sleep-related food disorder.<br />
 Nocturnal eating syndrome and sleep-related food disorder are parasomniasNocturnal eating syndrome is a sleep disorder that is characterized by compulsive raids on the refrigerator at night.<br />
 Usually people with this sleep disorder are very light sleepers.<br />
  When they awake during the night they have an overly compulsive feeling that they will not be able to fall back to sleep unless they eat something.<br />
 Once out of bed and at the refrigerator, the compulsion to eat makes them gobble down food.<br />
 People with nocturnal eating syndrome are fully awake and remember eating the food the next day.<br />
 This syndrome is a combination of a sleep disorder and an eating disorder.<br />
<span id="more-71"></span> Insomnia is also a factor in nocturnal eating syndrome.<br />
 Treatment for this disorder is usually received from a mental health professional that specializes in people with eating disorders.<br />
 Improving sleep hygiene can also help with this disorder.<br />
Sleep-related eating disorder also affects more women then men and is a variation of sleepwalking.<br />
 During an episode of this sleep disorder, a person will eat during partial arousal form a deep sleep.<br />
 Often they will eat very unhealthy or strange foods that they normally would not eat when awake.<br />
 During an episode of sleep-related eating disorder, a person might eat frozen pizza, raw cookie dough, peanut butter on fish and even dog food.<br />
 Often they are very careless and sloppy and may get burns or cuts while preparing the food.<br />
 It is very difficult to wake a person during an episode and they have no memory of it in the morning.<br />
 There does not seem to be a correlation to hunger during a sleep-related eating disorder episode, even if the person has eaten just before bed, an episode can still occur.<br />
Although the cause of food related sleep disorder is not known, several triggers have been identified.<br />
 Medications such as lithium, a mood stabilizer, and the benzodiazepine receptor zolpidem are two of those triggers.<br />
 People with mood and personality disorders or psychological problems such as bulimia are at higher risk of developing one of these food related sleep disorders.<br />
 People suffering from other sleep disorders including insomnia, sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder or narcolepsy are also at higher riskPeople with sleep-related eating disorder usually have a history of sleepwalking.<br />
 Because of this, people suffering from this  parasomnina are considered having more of a sleep disorder then an eating disorder.<br />
  Treatment with prescription medication is often very effective.<br />
 Antidepressants, dopimine agents, anticonvulsants and opiates are often prescribed.<br />
 Once sleepwalking is stopped so are the trips to the refrigerator.<br />
Sleep eaters often are overweight because of the high caloric intake at night.<br />
 The weight gain can lead to other sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea.<br />
  Seeking treatment, either from a medical or mental health professional is essential for good health in the treatment of sleep eating disorders.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/ico/373.png" hspace="2" width="128" height="128" alt="Making a Difference with Non-Profit Venture Capital" style="float: left;" />Most of us don&#8217;t really care much about making a difference.<br />
 Most of us didn&#8217;t even care about pollution and global warming until gas prices soared, forcing people to swap their SUVs to hybrid vehicles.<br />
 Money makes the world go round they say, and even simple dreams get tainted by commercialism.<br />
Artists don&#8217;t just play music but also convince their fans to buy overpriced merchandise just because it has the name of their idol printed on it.<br />
 Fortunately it has become more and more obvious to the people that there are others who barely manage to get by.<br />
 Non-profit organizations also seek venture capital to help others.<br />
 Most of these are non-profit organizations who aim to help and make a difference in their community.<br />
 Nowadays fraudulent schemes abound.<br />
 This is one of the reasons why venture capitalists don&#8217;t invest their money in these type organizations, besides the fact that they won&#8217;t earn anything in return.<br />
<span id="more-70"></span> Non profit organizations for the benefit of other people Non profit organizations do exist to help other start up businesses.<br />
 A non profit organization called Alliance of Angels provides funds for new businesses.<br />
 It an organization composed of Angel investors.<br />
 There are also other non profit organizations that exist like them.<br />
 Unfortunately, like Alliance of Angels, screening can be strict and very competitive.<br />
 They also create non profit businesses that are involved in a movement called a social enterprise.<br />
 These social enterprises, such as Goodwill Industries and Salvation Army, provide job opportunities for disadvantaged individuals.<br />
 This includes individuals with mental and physical disabilities, don&#8217;t have any work experience and lack education.<br />
 Other non profit businesses also hire low income high school students and drug abusers.<br />
The latest development today is that non profit businesses don&#8217;t just provide job opportunities.<br />
 Organization such as Food from the Hood, Pueblo Nuevo Development and Chrysalis are an example of this.<br />
 They create programs that train and develop a disadvantaged individual&#8217;s skill to be able to find a regular job with a living wage.<br />
 These businesses are able to sustain themselves, which in turn enable them expand and help more people.<br />
 Others provide capital for businesses that are focused on making a difference.<br />
 The Social Venture Capital Organization provides seed capital and grants to businesses that have ideas valuable to their community.<br />
They are looking for businesses that are geared towards addressing key social concerns such as poverty, hunger, malnutrition, hate crimes and crime prevention.<br />
 They provide counseling and management support for non profit businesses to be able to turn their ideas to reality.<br />
 In this money driven world it is a relief that organizations like these exist that is willing to make a difference in their community.<br />
 Organizations like these encourage non profit businesses to start and grow.<br />
There are also firms that encourage profit oriented businesses that bring make an impact in their community.<br />
 The downside is they may encourage economic development in their community but not to the benefit of the people who live in it that also need help.<br />
If you have non profit business seeking venture capital funds you can approach this type of organization.<br />
 Although they may not be as many as traditional private equity firms they still do exist.<br />
 This time they are willing to invest in a company not out of pure gain.</p>
