How the President of the united states elects
How the President of the united states electsUniversity of Petroleum and Energy Studies The President of the United States is elected every four years through a complex process outlined in the Constitution. Candidates must be at least 35 years old, a natural born US citizen, and have lived in the country for at least 14 years. Political parties choose their nominees through state primaries and caucuses. In the general election, voters select "electors" who then vote for President in the Electoral College. Whichever candidate wins the most popular votes in a state receives all of its electors. If no candidate receives a majority, the House of Representatives chooses the President.

Parliamentary and presidential
Parliamentary and presidentialybudhrani In a parliamentary system, the executive branch derives its legitimacy from and is accountable to the legislative branch. The head of state is usually different than the head of government. Legislation can pass more quickly since the executive includes members of the legislature. In a presidential system, the head of state is also the head of the executive branch, which is separate from the legislature. This can lead to stalemate if the branches are controlled by different parties. The president has a fixed term and cannot be removed by a no confidence vote like in a parliamentary system.

Understanding Vibrations
If not experienced, it may seem weird understanding vibes? We start small and by accident. Usually, we learn about vibrations within social. Examples are: That bad vibe you felt. Also, that good feeling you had. These are common situations we often have naturally. We chit chat about it then let it go. However; those are called vibes using your instincts. Then, your senses are called your intuition. We all can develop the gift of intuition and using energy awareness.
Energy Healing
First, Energy healing is universal. This is also true for Reiki as an art and rehab resource. Within the Health Sciences, Rehab has changed dramatically. The term is now very flexible.
Reiki alone, expanded tremendously during the past 3 years. Distant healing is almost more popular than one-on-one sessions? It’s not a replacement by all means. However, its now easier access online vs local sessions. This does break limit barriers providing instant comfort.
Practice Poses
You can stand within mountain pose Tadasana to get started.
Also, you can start within a lotus Sitting Position to begin a session.
There’s no wrong or right way. Maybe if you are rushing, that’s incorrect lol. The key is being comfortable, calm, at peace. This begins any session.
Also using props like candles, incenses, even going outdoors for fresh air.
(See Presentation for all sections, THX)
Clearing Karma, Letting go.
Now, that you understand more about energies, vibrations, the practice fusions, let’s go deeper. I wanted to make sure you all were comfortable. These sessions are for all levels from beginner to review.

APM Midlands Region April 2025 Sacha Hind Circulated.pdf
APM Midlands Region April 2025 Sacha Hind Circulated.pdfAssociation for Project Management APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 30 April 2025.
Speaker: Sacha Hind, Senior Programme Manager, Network Rail
With fierce competition in today’s job market, candidates need a lot more than a good CV and interview skills to stand out from the crowd.
Based on her own experience of progressing to a senior project role and leading a team of 35 project professionals, Sacha shared not just how to land that dream role, but how to be successful in it and most importantly, how to enjoy it!
Sacha included her top tips for aspiring leaders – the things you really need to know but people rarely tell you!
We also celebrated our Midlands Regional Network Awards 2025, and presenting the award for Midlands Student of the Year 2025.
This session provided the opportunity for personal reflection on areas attendees are currently focussing on in order to be successful versus what really makes a difference.
Sacha answered some common questions about what it takes to thrive at a senior level in a fast-paced project environment: Do I need a degree? How do I balance work with family and life outside of work? How do I get leadership experience before I become a line manager?
The session was full of practical takeaways and the audience also had the opportunity to get their questions answered on the evening with a live Q&A session.
Attendees hopefully came away feeling more confident, motivated and empowered to progress their careers

What is the Philosophy of Statistics? (and how I was drawn to it)jemille6 What is the Philosophy of Statistics? (and how I was drawn to it)
Deborah G Mayo
At Dept of Philosophy, Virginia Tech
April 30, 2025
ABSTRACT: I give an introductory discussion of two key philosophical controversies in statistics in relation to today’s "replication crisis" in science: the role of probability, and the nature of evidence, in error-prone inference. I begin with a simple principle: We don’t have evidence for a claim C if little, if anything, has been done that would have found C false (or specifically flawed), even if it is. Along the way, I’ll sprinkle in some autobiographical reflections.
