EMPOWERMENT

Submitted by ub on

If we want something, we have to go after it and tell our story. To be real, accountable and bold.

I want you to let cimages.me know what topics need to be covered. Let's talk about topics that no one else talks about.

Human interest stories are empowering when shared authentically, with accountability. Humans are empowered by authenticity and inspired by bold vulnerability.

Eight members from one Ohio family were targeted by an executioner, or a murder team and investigators still do not have any suspects in custody.

Authorities believe one gunman may be behind the killings in Peebles, Ohio, and that he is on the loose, though a "person of interest" was detained in another community last night.

On this day... Lets walk. or ride our bikes along the way.

A recent US Census Bureau study reveals that 76.4 percent of Americans drove to work alone on daily commutes.

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, about one-fifth of all U.S. emissions are caused by our automobiles. The group also estimates that one gallon of gasoline emits about 24 pounds of CO2 and other harmful gasses into the atmosphere. Imagine the amount of emissions would be saved if just a fraction of Americans walked, biked or carpooled to work on Earth Day.

NO REST AU RANT

Submitted by ub on

My family and friends recently went to a restaurant and spent a couple of hundred dollars for food and drinks and I don't know if my limited diet plan had something to do with it, but I think eating out is totally overrated.

I know this sounds paranoid. But I know of many people who are convinced that some servers and chefs don't respect the food they place on our plates.
Counterproductive work behavior statistics indicate that six percent of service employees admit to having contaminated a customer’s food. That’s according to one study conducted by university researchers.
