In popular culture the word psychic refers to the ability to perceive things hidden from the senses through means of extra-sensory perception.
Parapsychologists attempt to study what some believe are psychic phenomena using a variety of methods such as random number generators to test for psychokinesis or the Ganzfeld experiment to test for extra-sensory perception.
The existence of extra sensory psychic abilities is disputed by skeptics who contend that there is no scientific evidence supporting such abilities and apparent psychic phenomena are nothing more than intentional trickery or self delusion. Debunker James Randi has offered a $1 million prize to any individual who can, under controlled circumstances, demonstrate any paranormal or supernatural ability. As of yet, no aspirants have passed his preliminary tests
The Randi test is no longer open to anyone but, if you still want to find out if you have psychic powers you could try taking other tests HERE or, HERE .
If not you may just wish to consult a psychic to:
“bless your angels with light love & peace“

Next time you visit your GP or, local NHS hospital, who will be treating you? We hope that it’s someone who is highly competent, with medical knowledge in the area relevant to the individual case. But, increasingly in the NHS it may simply be someone who is cheaper than a qualified medical practitioner, with experience & relevant skills.
I understand the cost pressures on the NHS and have no problems with the NHS hiring foreign medics & nurses; the NHS operate in a global market for medical resources. But, what if the foreign medical workers are illegal immigrants with doubtful medical qualification? Surely the NHS have screening procedures to filter out these applicants? Hmm! Read this article and you may conclude like myself that the NHS is more concerned with cost than competence

Inflation statistics reported today by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) are truly appalling….and still rising
Input prices rose an adjusted 2.4 percent on the month, taking the annual rate up to 23.1 percent, mainly due to soaring fuel and food costs. Output prices rose an unadjusted 1.4 percent on the month in April, taking the annual rate up to 7.5 percent.
These inflation figures are the highest since the series began in 1986 and must be putting a serious squeeze on the manufacturing sector!
They also mean that rises in the headline rate of inflation….Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) are set to rise for most of the rest of this year
Gordon Brown will live to regret his trumpeting that he had ended the cycle of boom & bust & tamed inflation
