Stay Happy and Healthy During AGE Season
With Halloween just a few weeks around the corner, people are gearing up for the holiday season. If there is one thing the season is guaranteed to include, it’s stress. “Seasonal Affective Disorder”—or “SAD” as it’s commonly known—affects hundreds of thousands of people every year. While SAD is technically caused by a Vitamin D deficiency (as sun exposure goes down during the colder months), it is also a product of the financial stress, lack of exercise, and excess sugar consumption that commonly accompany the holiday season.
Check out some of the ways that sugar can affect your mood, according to the International Bipolar Foundation:
- Sugar releases opioids and dopamine, causing emotional highs and lows.
- Refined sugar causes the release of cytokines, which strongly correlate with depression.
- A reaction called “reactive hypoglycemia,” commonly referred to as a “sugar crash,” causes bodily stress.
- Sugar weakens your immune system, making you feel crappier. People get sick more often during the holiday season as it is—the immune system needs to be in tip-top shape to fight off the cold-season germs.
From Halloween sweeties to Christmas pie, the holiday season is jam-packed with opportunities to increase your AGE count. As yummy as holiday treats are, increasing your AGE count can lead to dull, wrinkled skin and a slew of ailments, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, and mental illness.
There are tons of tips for avoiding sugar consumption over the holiday season. We really like this article on BeMore! Magazine. Be mindful of the sugar you’re eating this season for healthier, happier holidays!

California rapper Yhung T.O. is most beneficial known as area of the rap collective SOB x RBE (Purely Only Brothers, Actual Boi Entertainment) and he’s described by his vocal/rap cross style. Created and elevated in Vallejo — in the Bay Part of California, where all users of the team resided — Yhung began by causing music on his Playstation with Daboii, documenting vocals on the phones. Following that they linked to Lul G and Slimmy B through shared acquaintances; collectively they strike it off artistically, forming an innovative brotherhood. Because they would frequently reiterate, SOB x RBE wasn’t produced like a rap group, but even more of a mutually supportive collective, providing individual users the freedom release a solo material and show frequently. Yhung T.O., specifically, was no stranger to his single career, offering on monitors by numerous performers including Nef the Pharaoh’s “Spice” and Philthy Rich’s “Around,” the last mentioned which also highlighted Gucci Mane. By 2017 he previously even documented his debut single recording, On My Momma, which presented SOB x RBE users Daboii and Slimmy B, alongside fellow California rapper Mozzy.


The perfect replica Omega Speedmaster, ranked solely on specifications, is one of the worst watches you can buy, especially in base Hesalite trim. It’s too big at 42mm, gets only fifty metres of water resistance and needs winding by hand every other day. It’s a hangover of a less convenient time, and in today’s rush there’s just no room for it. Except it remains one of luxury fake Omega’s most popular watches, and not just because it’s bang on half the price of the equivalent watch from Rolex.
There can be no overstating just how important this best 1:1 replica Omega is in people’s lives. What else do we have to drive us on, day by day, but hope? And what more hope is there than in the progress of humanity as a species? Look at the news and there’s a clear reality: we’re all doomed. There are too many people consuming too many things and everyone’s at each other’s throats because of it.
But in 1969, people were united by the journey three men took to a place no one had ever visited before: the moon. The hope of possibility was unrivalled at that time. The future was bright. And even today, alongside all the negativity, there’s the glimmer of a brighter future with the revival of space exploration and the discovery of new things beyond our atmosphere.
The aaa quality fake Omega Moonwatch not only commemorates what came before, an achievement so incredible it stands today, over half a century later, as perhaps the greatest ever accomplished, but is also a vessel for the fragile essence of hope. That inexplicable feeling wearing a Swiss movement copy Omega Moonwatch is the reminder that there’s still a chance. It’s not over yet.

A modern day hero would be a soldier. They fight for our freedom and our safety. They have all the qualities of a hero and other amazing qualities. Our soldiers are risking their lives to protect us and we should always think of them as hero’s. Every soldier should be remembered by the people of America. They are courageous, brave, kind, wise and they never give up. The soldiers that went to help in the Haiti earthquake and many more natural disasters are to be commended too. Also the soldiers that helped in the clean up of the 9/11 disaster are hero’s. Soldiers are not the only modern day hero’s there are many other hero’s out here that people don’t know about. Anyone can be a hero!

Should I invest in Bitcoin?
Such a thing I say is to not be used as economic advice.
That being said, bitcoin is certainly worth considering.
And with bitcoin crossing the $10k limit early in the day that week, it’s no surprise people think it is a bubble. It dropped below $1,000 in June of this season, and has absolutely skyrocketed actually since.
Investors often poopoo cryptocurrency for the incredibly unpredictable markets. With volatility, though, comes drastically increased income margins. In less-than-6-months, bitcoin has increase in price by significantly more than 1,000%.
To many it’s a sure indication of a bubble. To the others, it is a special opportunity to make a bundle in a brief period of times.
But let us stage back for a second. Contemplate it with regards to economics. Whenever you search at a source and need data, you see that as source increases, need decreases. And as present decreases, demand increases.
That is recognized as an inverse relationship.
Demand is established through something called “scarcity “.Scarcity means to stay small supply. Contemplate it like water in a draught. There is small water available, and thus demand considerably increases.
On the flip side, rain during a monsoon is in extreme excess. And people need nothing to do with more water.
They’re examples you see in true to life, but let us search at scarcity, with regards to crypto.
There will just actually be 21 million bitcoins mined. On earth, you will find about 33 million millionaires.
Even though comprar criptomoneda bitcoin of those millionaires needs a complete bitcoin, it’s impossible. You will find not enough bitcoins to get around.
Scarcity develops demand.
Today, in the United States (and other well-off countries), people don’t necessarily see bitcoin as such a thing besides an investment. But that attitude doesn’t consider people who are influenced by economic crises.
Contemplate Venezuela. They’re experiencing a lot more than 4,000% of inflation. Their fiat currency is actually useless. At the time of June 2015, there have been about 450 firms that recognized bitcoin. In November 2016, there have been more than 85,000 accepting the cryptocurrency.
That stat is really a year old, and Venezuela continues to be overwhelmed having an financial demise spiral. So, the quantity is definitely higher.
In reality, significantly more than 100,000 miners have entered the overall game in the country. Bitcoin is more secure the Venezuela’s fiat, and hence is seen as a viable type of currency.
Today, we have observed bitcoin’s value in the eyes of the rich, and we have observed its value in the eyes of the in economic crises.
Therefore to answer your question, yes. Bitcoin is worth considering being an investment.

Childhood and Career
Sage Tullis, better known as GtfoSage, was born in San Luis Obispo, California, on April 11, 2001. She showed an early interest in gadgets and gizmos, which eventually introduced her to the realm of social media.
When she was barely 13 years old, she started using social media. She first started a YouTube channel before signing up for Instagram and Twitter. A young and naive GtfoSage had to deal with cyberbullies who were trying to take advantage of her shortly after joining social media. They began tormenting her online, with some even urging her to commit suicide!

Navigating the Changing Landscape of Ease of Doing Business in India: Insights for Finance Professionals
India has made significant strides in improving the ease of doing business in the country over the past few years. The government’s efforts to simplify regulations, reduce bureaucracy, and promote entrepreneurship have created a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. As finance professionals, it is crucial to stay informed about the changing landscape of ease of doing business in India and understand the opportunities and challenges it presents.
The World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index ranks countries based on ten indicators, including starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. India has made remarkable progress in several of these areas, particularly in getting electricity and resolving insolvency cases.
The introduction of several reforms, such as the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code and the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax, has contributed to India’s rise in the ease of doing business rankings. The government has also made efforts to simplify and digitize various processes, such as the introduction of the online single window system for obtaining various licenses and permits. However, there is still room for improvement in areas such as dealing with construction permits, registering property, and trading across borders.
One of the significant challenges businesses face in India is the complexity of the regulatory environment. Despite the government’s efforts to simplify regulations, there are still numerous regulations and compliance requirements that businesses need to navigate. Finance professionals can play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with regulations by providing advisory and consulting services, helping businesses understand and comply with regulations.
Another challenge is the bureaucracy and red tape involved in obtaining licenses and permits. Finance professionals can help businesses navigate the process by providing support in obtaining the necessary licenses and permits, ensuring compliance with regulations and providing advisory services.
The introduction of technology in various processes has also created new opportunities for finance professionals. The government’s efforts to digitize various processes have created a demand for professionals with expertise in technology, such as data analytics and cybersecurity. Finance professionals can leverage technology to improve their services and create new opportunities for themselves and their clients.
In conclusion, the changing landscape of ease of doing business in India presents both opportunities and challenges for finance professionals. While the government’s efforts to simplify regulations and streamline processes have led to improvements in several areas, there is still room for improvement in areas such as dealing with construction permits, registering property, and trading across borders. Finance professionals can play a crucial role in facilitating and streamlining the process for businesses, ensuring compliance with regulations, and leveraging technology to create new opportunities.
I welcome feedback and suggestions from other finance professionals on how they are navigating the changing landscape of ease of doing business in India and contributing to the growth of businesses in the country. Please feel free to reach out to me at email@example.com or call me at 8377829627 with any suggestions or questions.

We’re living during a digital age where technology has had a transformative effect on the way we live and work. Slowly and steadily, technology has been making strides in revolutionizing methods of learning and teaching. Technology-enabled curriculum and smart boards have long replaced traditional blackboards and two-dimensional textbook images. As we enter the subsequent generation of media transformation, AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) are getting the most well-liked topics in education technology. Before we understand their impact on education and learning, let’s check out what these technologies are Education System.
When we first hear the words AR and VR, the primary thought that involves the mind is games. this is often because AR and VR technology has been extensively utilized in the gaming arena. Remember the recognition of the AR game “Pokemon GO” which became a worldwide sensation with over 100 million users at its peak in 2016. the sport used Augmented Reality, also referred to as AR. Augmented Reality is that the results of using technology to superimpose digital elements — sounds, images, and text to the planet we see employing a tablet, smart eyeglass, or a smartphone camera.
The computer game is significantly more complex with an immersive, three-dimensional, computer-generated environment that can be explored and interacted with by an individual. rather than projecting the pictures and sounds on a true environment, computer game uses a VR headset to immerse users on the 360-degree environment they need to be in.
VR and AR in Education ( Education System )
The education industry has typically been slow in embracing new technologies. However, during this ever-changing world, it’s vital that the industry implement new technologies like AR and VR to remain relevant. By creating an immersive and interactive learning experience without the utilization of textbooks, AR and VR technology empowers learners to explore and learn at their own pace, thus stimulating learning and comprehension and enhances critical retention.
VR and AR-based apps for education, that combine digital technologies and learning, improve the tutorial process, and permit students to accumulate information visually. These technologies provide a solid base to enhance the education process. for instance, a learner can study jungle animals by taking an expedition through a digital jungle employing a smartphone app, simple cardboard VR glasses, and earphones.
Without having to exit the classroom or their home, students are exposed to completely new and active learning environments. Teachers could teach subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology through virtual labs that not just keeps students engaged but also allows them to practice before they will test the experiments in real laboratories. Students of drugs can study the precision of anatomy, learn the intricacies of surgery, and simulate medical situations for practice.
Here are a number of the key benefits of using AR and VR technology in education and learning.
*Facilitates student learning through gamification and interactivity
* Keeps students engaged even while learning difficult topics
* Enhances creativity
*Fosters increased collaboration
*Can be used for practical training
*Expanded teaching possibilities with 3D design, modeling, and presentations
While VR can deliver the wholesome experience, AR in education are often used as a supplementary tool to textbook learning. No wonder, from giants like Google and Microsoft to startups like EON Reality, Nearpod and Unimersiv, are focused on providing tailored VR experiences. In India, companies are integrating AR/VR technologies for nursery to eighth-grade curriculums for youngsters mapping the AR/VR journeys with course content for various subjects.
AR and VR Technology ( Education System )
One of the common challenges of using augmented reality technology is that there’s a struggle to use the new technologies by teachers. Moreover, not all students have smartphones capable of supporting AR content. computer games, on the opposite hand, face completely different challenges. High costs of hardware, accessibility, and lack of quality content are a number of the constraints that have kept VR from being the breakthrough technology in education.
According to a report by Goldman Sachs, in 2020 the revenue for VR/AR educational software would be around $300 million and this figure is predicted to grow to $700 million by 2025. As investments still rise, the standard of content improves, and therefore the cost of hardware decreases, the technology is now accessible to educational institutes worldwide. The AR/VR technology has the potential of being the most important breakthrough within the education system within the 21st century. it might help students take a step faraway from memorization and exams and permit them to find out through active participation and knowledge. It’s important that the tutorial institutions study aspects of AR and VR technology to seek out the proper tools to form the difference within the learning experience of scholars.

25% off for Fairtrade Fortnight
Why choose Fairtrade?
Right now, millions of hardworking farmers in developing countries aren’t paid enough to support their families. Yet every day, they provide food we eat and products we depend on.
Their children often go hungry and can’t go to school. Some are forced to work. They have no choice.
Communities are trapped in poverty, unable to pay for wells and water pumps. They drink dirty water and can’t afford to visit the doctor when they become sick.
About 795 million people are undernourished globally (FAO, IFAD and WFP, 2015); Half of the world’s hungriest people are smallholder farmers themselves (Powering Up Smallholder Farmers to make food fair, Fairtrade Foundation Report 2013)
Lack of food security is one of the world’s most critical issues. It's so important that we in the UK help drive a real change for the farming communities who need it most.
Fairtrade means many producers and workers are able to do what we take for granted – put enough food on the table for themselves and the people they care about, all year round. We have been campaigning for Fairtrade for 2 years and have learnt what a difference it makes for the world’s most vulnerable communities by making farming viable and generating vital economic benefits.
By choosing Fairtrade products, we’re saying that no one deserves to be short-changed for a hard day’s work. And that it’s wrong to benefit from farmers being paid unfairly.
We have the power to make that choice.
Fairtrade works with 1.5 million farmers and workers in parts of Africa, Asia and Latin and Central America enabling them to earn a sustainable income and the Fairtrade Premium that they can invest in community, business and environmental projects.
Adam Gardner, Communities Campaigns Manager for the Fairtrade Foundation said: “Farming is the backbone of the world. It’s simply wrong that whilst farmers work hard to produce what we eat so many of them should go hungry themselves.
“Shoppers in the UK can change this by making choices that help ensure food security for farming communities in developing countries; be it buying Fairtrade or campaigning against trade policies that can disadvantage farmers.
Fairtrade Fortnight is an annual campaign aiming to get shoppers, campaigners and businesses in the UK talking, thinking about and buying Fairtrade.
We aim to be 100% Fairtrade throughout our supply chain. By purchasing from us you are supporting Fairtrade farmers and artisans. If you would like to find out more about Fairtrade or would like to get involved click here. Offer valid until 12/03/17.

Thank God Sean Penn admitted our military was doing good work in Haiti. We can only hope that Hugo finds a new place to stay.
But there is a deeper unspeakable truth being revealed here by Penn, which is that the left never recognizes an american humanitarian effort, until Anderson Cooper saves a black kid on camera.
Unlike Bush’s aids relief for Africa, this American act of kindness cannot go over looked by the left. Why? Because unfortunately while sick Africans got buried underground, the Haitians were buried above it.
Its a truth that transforms this doorstep disaster into an inconvenient catastrophe for a relativist ideology that only counts an American act of nobility when it takes place in their own backyard, a place too close to invite Hugo Chavez and the communist consensus that continues to be preoccupied with labeling the humanitarian effort as an imperialist occupation.
And it kinda sheds some light on how liberals have convinced the world that America is evil, by manipulating the emotional disconnect that naturally exists between the hearing of a tragedy and actual witness of it.
Just think about it. If Americans were able to see innocent Iraqi women being raped beaten and executed, liberals would rethink using the war as a political tool. If activist judges were forced to actually witness the ass-rape of the victimized kids that sit in their courtroom, they would probably rethink just giving probation. And If we could meet the millions of Africans who love America for the lives that our taxdollars helped save, I’m sure we would even view ourselves a bit different.
But Lib elites like Penn only buckle to reason when they witness a reality that cannot hide in a cave or womb. Becoming enlightened with the logic of Americas greatness only covers up for what he should really say, which is that his leftist worldview is completely upside down, maybe even that Evil Bush Hitler wasn’t all that bad.

47,725 or about 8% of the homeless population are veterans and 50% of the homeless people are over 50 years old in the U.S. Homelessness is an unsatisfactory issue that we as humans do not see the importance of the help they need. In our community, we take things for granted and not worry about the importance of helping others. The unfortunate people living in the streets have passed through difficult times and appreciate small or big things. Homeless is a person without a home, and therefore typically living on the streets. Some homeless people have become abusive of drugs, alcohol, and other different type of drugs. Homelessness is a major problem in our society. Homelessness contaminates our city, makes our city look dirty, and it is priority to fix this problem.
How do people view homeless people in public places like the park? Do they run away? Do they stare? Do they walk up to them and offer them a hot meal or money? What faces do they give them? Is it a frown or a smile? Unfortunately, there are millions who go without a proper place to sleep every night (1 pg 5). You will find these people sleeping in abandon cars, on the street, on park beaches, and even in hallway buildings. Anywhere they are able to find a place to sleep they will. I decided to do my observation study on how people react when they see homeless people in public places like the park. Why are they looked down on so negatively? These people that we are throwing to the side like yesterday trash is someone’s mother, father, brother, sister, or friend. We are simply ignoring them.
Many homeless individuals have stories to tell about how they ended up homeless. Some of them became homeless due to drug addiction. Some of them chose the life they did because it felt commendable at the moment, and they did not think about the future. While I was volunteering, I had the opportunity to meet with a few homeless individuals and they told me their experiences about how they manage to survive throughout the year. It was sad that most of them can’t control their circumstances because there are other complex reasons why they became homeless
Image being homeless, and not having a stable dwelling to call home. For a majority of people throughout the United States reality is true for these Americans. For example, waking up every day, not knowing where your next meal will come from; having to asking strangers for a few dollars, to get something to eat and drink. For instance, Crisis, the homeless charity, Perhaps this week has been active for 50 years says 114,780 people were homeless in England during two-thousand fifth-teen and two-thousand six-teen. Perhaps as many as 34,500 people sleep rough in England in any year around 4,000 a night. Crisis says that for every rough sleeper, there are 100 people in hotels, and 1,100 households in bed and breakfast and over- crowded accommodations. (" Financial Times, 22 April 2017). So what is the right reaction when someone in need asks for money on the street? In an interview last month, Pope Francis suggested the answer was to give without hesitation; but many charities beg to differ. Thames Reach, which supports homeless people and rough sleepers in London through the Street Rescue service and hotels. Thames Reach is adamant that people should not give cash to beggars. Providing cities with overwhelming evidence" that shows eighty percent of people begging do so to support a drug habit. Being homelessness has an emotional appeal to consider, simply because as society we don't know what paths of problems arise through -out our lives. ( Thames Reach).
In the United States, homeless people have become a problem phase, as many people view the homeless as a menace to our society. The New Orleans Mission, Volunteers of America, and Ozanam Inn are non-profit organizations that provide services to people who are homeless. The group of people that are included in the category of homeless people includes veterans, people who are mentally ill, families who have lost their job, single parents, or runaway children. The New Orleans Mission, Volunteers of America, and Ozanam Inn are working to address issues of homelessness through cooperations and education.
On a cold rainy Saturday in December, just two days before Christmas, in 2006 Andy Sandness set out to do some grocery shopping on his day off from work. Everything was going as planned until an announcement came over the speaker at Piggly Wiggly saying “Attention shoppers please do not panic and take cover immediately.” Naturally panic immediately broke out all over the store as gunshots rang through the produce aisle. Babies were crying, mothers were covering their children, elderly people were struggling to move to a safe place, and food was flooding the aisles. Sandness, a local rancher and volunteer firefighter/emt sprung into action. He alerted authorities and located the shooter. “A million thoughts ran through my mind in the seconds
What do you think Homelessness/Poverty is? Why is the circumstances like? And how can we get out of Poverty? In today’s society Homelessness is simply defined as the absence of a place to live. So now that we know what is Homelessness we can think of many things such as houses, finance and the current environment. Approximately, 235,000 Canadians experience homelessness each year. The number of homelessness people, and the length of time they spend homeless, continues to rise. You can be wondering why do people come in Homelessness but the thinking realistic Homelessness is not a choice; anyone can become homeless. Although the root cause is Poverty, underlying issues include; poor physical or mental health, violence or abuse in the home, lack of employment or income, and a shortage of affordable housing. We as human beings can only help them and support; I have seen some people who don’t even value the people living on the street and asking for food or money. Toronto is the capital of Canada, and in Toronto we will see a lot of people who are in this situation. In the past 25 years, there has been a 450% increase in the number of youth shelter beds in Toronto. Living in a Poverty is no fun, it feels like you're living in a jail. I feel bad for those who don’t even have shelters or clothes to put on. I will share an example of mine; when I went to Toronto I seen a man sitting on the ground with dirty and ripped clothes on and he had a bowl asking people to give him money. So there are people who are really in this situation and some pretending to be. But in my point of view, So I would just say don’t just think about yourself but think about others who are suffering.
Astonishingly, 564,708 people are currently homeless in the United States, according to Social Solutions (Social Solutions, 2016). The topic, “Living Poor,” has only become much more apparent in the news and in everyday life. Two essays, On Compassion by Barbara Lazear Ascher and On Dumpster Diving by Lars Eighner, can be evaluated as discussing two different aspects of the homeless situation in America. After close reading, On Compassion more effectively achieves its purpose of defining compassion than On Dumpster Diving, which describes the wasteful nature of mankind.
In the year 2020 the issue of the Homeless had become intolerable. An approximation of the annual number of homeless in america was between 80 million and 100 million people, with fifty percent being “chronic homeless”. It was costing more and more for their medical expenses, social services, and for the criminal justice system. Worst of all, all of these cost came out of our taxes! They were going to bankrupt all the middle class, and possibly drop the annual income of the millionaires by a few thousand dollars. The prisons were filling up with all these dirty, jobless vagrants. Taking all the cells away from real criminals. Prisons started having no choice but to release convicted felons early. Drug rates in cities were constantly rising, and with that came higher crime rates. It was becoming clear that the homeless were now the only people doing drugs or killing people. If we the people didn't do something soon our country would become as bad as Canada, or (God help us) France. Something needed to be done, so the government stepped in. Just like the perfect decision of the “Patriot Act” our government took this one into their own hands and decided that the
Throughout New York or even the United States, there are many people who are homeless and without jobs to help them survive. Many mothers and fathers are struggling to keep their homes while others are already out in New York streets trying to seek help. Those who are already on the streets are seeking charity from others as the walk by them. And to stop this from ever happening there should be more shelters, jobs, and help/supporters.
Today I will be talking about how to help homeless people in my community and how it’s a problem today. Today every corner you look around in Detroit, Michigan there is a homeless person in need, begging for help, asking for money, looking for shelter. It’s a big problem that we are trying to fix in the city of Detroit, not just detroit but the state of Michigan. There is approximately 86,189 homeless people in Michigan. 50 percent of those homeless in Michigan are adults, and children in families, and 69 percent of most homeless families are single mothers. The average age of a homeless person is 32.7 years old and the average age of a homeless child is 7.6 years old. There is a homeless shelter/halfway house in almost every city in michigan
Homelessness is a serious problem in our society. Every night in our nation thousands of people are on the streets. This type of behavior is considered deviant because it does not reflect the norms and values of our society. In many cases the homeless people in our country are treated as total outcasts. Many of these people have severe mental disorders. Some are victims of an economy that has failed them. One may ask how such harsh situations exist in such an advanced society. With all the money and programs created to help people it seems ridiculous that this behavior exists. In a society where people have so much how is it possible that there are still people that have so little. The homeless are humans, no different than anyone else.
The homeless stand down was an eye-opener experience for me. I had the opportunity to interact with several individuals, and one family. Initially I conducted some interviews with them to help complete the questionnaire; and the remainder of the time, I escorted the individuals and helped them choose items that were necessary for them. As I talked to each of them, I realized that the present state of these individuals were a product of the current economic situations. According to the National Homeless Coalition (2009), work factors are one of the many reasons why individuals are homeless. One of the individuals that I spoke to informed me that he was working a regular nine to five job at a construction site, but now due to the
Homelessness as an issue in today's society is largely ignored. To many, the problem of homelessness is invisible or barely noticed. When these people do see the homeless it is found in the form of beggars who need to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” or mentally ill people who “just can't help themselves”. In either case the central point remains; the homeless must be people who are incapable or unwilling to help themselves. After all, wouldn't they stop being homeless if they just tried? These sorts of rationalizations cover a more disturbing truth; that for many in today's society, the spectre of homelessness is more pressing of a problem than helping those who are already on the

A Brief History on the Origin of Christmas
It's officially December and the holiday season is in full effect. Every year people look forward to this merriest of seasons and celebrating Christmas with family and friends, exchanging gifts and watching the magic of the holidays envelope everyone.
With that being said though, how did we get to the point where we celebrate the holidays, particularly Christmas the way we do? Well just like every superhero or super villain, the Christmas holiday as we know it, has its own origin story.
Thousands of Years of History
To properly understand the origin of Christmas, it needs to be said that for thousands of years, the winter season has been a time for celebration. In particular, people would celebrate the winter solstice, the time of year when the darkest days of winter were now behind them and people could look forward to days being longer.
For example, people of Norse culture would celebrate "Yule" during this time and the celebrations could last for weeks. Father's and sons would bring logs and burn them and while the logs burned a massive celebration would ensue and it would continue until the fire died out.In addition, the winter time was also perfect time to have celebrations, because it was only time of the year where fresh meat was plentiful and it was also the time when alcohol made during the year was now ready for consumption.
Different cultures also had different customs. For instance, ancient Romans celebrated "Saturnalia" for the god of agriculture, Saturn. These festivities would begin a week prior to the winter solstice and would continue for an entire month. Basically imagine Mardi Gras on steroids.
The Founding of Christmas
The Christmas that we celebrate today came to be thanks to Pope Julius I who selected December 25th as the day of celebration due to the fact that no record exists that actually states what day Jesus of Nazareth was actually born. It was also stated that...
It is commonly believed that the church chose this date in an effort to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival.
Whether it was planned or not, by the middle ages Christianity would end up replacing the vast majority of pagan religious celebrations.
Christmas As We Know it Today
Christmas today was really established in America until the publishing of the holiday classic, "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. The story promoted the importance of being good and kind to people around you and in your community and those ideas began to spread through American and English society.
It was around this time that the traditions of giving gifts, decorating trees and even sending celebratory cards began. The repackaging and rebranding of Christmas in some aspects would be beneficial to a young American nation which lacked a culturally unifying link in its society.
Here Comes Santa Claus
Of course no analysis of Christmas could be complete without the holly jolly old fat man. Santa Claus is based on the real life person St. Nicholas, a monk who during his life gave away his possessions and went on to aid the poor and sick. He would become known as the protector of children and sailors.
The classic story "Twas the Night Before Christmas" was the story that introduced the world to the idea of Santa Claus. The classic image of Santa was not created until 1881 thanks to Cartoonist Thomas Nast who gave Santa his red suit, white beard, reindeer and all.


How Hot Is Mars?
The average temperature on Mars is -80 degrees Fahrenheit. A summer day near Mars’ equator gets up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, but dips to -100 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Winter temperatures at the Martian poles drop to 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mars is much farther from the Sun than the Earth, which partially explains the colder temperatures on the planet’s surface. Mars also has a very thin atmosphere that is incapable of retaining heat. The atmosphere is over 96 percent carbon dioxide. If it had an atmosphere that was thick enough to retain heat, the carbon dioxide would cause a greenhouse effect.

SYDNEY CRICKET GROUND
The Sydney Cricket Ground is one of the world’s most dynamic sporting venues and home to a whole host of sports, including AFL, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Soccer and Baseball, to name a few. Initially opened in 1886, the ground has undergone numerous redevelopments to keep up with modern stadiums, resulting in the venue that exists today.
As part of a recent redevelopment, APS designed, manufactured, erected and operated an APS Suspended Access Platform System to access the underside of the southern stand roof canopy so cladding could be installed.
A team of APS rope access riggers were on-site and successfully carried out the platforms' rigging and relocation.

The Nelson region is New Zealand’s sole hop growing area – and has more craft breweries per head of the population than anywhere else in the country.
Unlike ordinary beer festivals, all the beers available at MarchFest have been specially commissioned for the event and have never previously been tasted by the public.
Every year around 15 regional craft breweries sign up to produce a new beer for the event. These beers all make their world debut at MarchFest. Top of the South breweries include Dale's, Eddyline, Founders, Golden Bear, Hop Farm, Hop Federation, Horsebox, Lighthouse, McCashin’s, Moa, Mussel Inn, Renaissance, Sprig and Fern,Townshend’s and more..
And unlike other beer festivals, MarchFest is not just about beer. It’s also about local wines, ciders and juices, regional cuisine (including a beer and food matching lunch) as well as great live music, this year featuring Ladi 6, The Eastern, Battle-Ska Galactica and cool local acts Not Bruce Willis and Django Schmango. Add to that the Kids Zone and the Brew Zone and you can see why Marchfest is in its 10th successful year!

An insight into the artist's thought and exhibition concept:
Choosing to look at the effects of financial pressure on the younger workforce, the artist has combined wall panels with installations to direct the viewer inside the subject’s private thoughts.
The new now that we are all facing is a disaster in terms of trying to obtain your first home or even simply signing a rental agreement. Wages don’t stretch like they used to and saving is becoming a national issue.
Constructed largely using recycled building and renovation materials, the artist’s construction process is designed to reflect the type of choices available to those most affected by the subject being discussed.

It is a celebration of song and dance, an international phenomenon that has swept across the globe like a tidal wave of soaring voices and stomping feet.
Gumboot dancing was born out of the oppressive gold mines of South Africa. Forbidden to speak and in almost complete darkness, the slave laborers developed their own language by slapping their gumboots and rattling their ankle chains. In time it has developed into a truly unique dance form …
Unrivaled in its energy and physicality, it celebrates the body as a musical instrument whilst highlighting South Africa’s rich and complex culture.Stimela, 'The Gumboot' Musical is on these dates: 29th March 2017 30th March 2017 31st March 2017

Katherine Mansfield's classic short story The Dolls House was filmed by New Zealand's most prolific pioneer film-maker, Rudall Hayward in 1973. The short film ( 18min), still has a powerful impact. It uses the authors own words as the narration. The tale of twentieth century New Zealand, demonstrates the class distinction of the time, and shows something of the way of life, styles, clothing and customs.
See it on the Heritage Week 2017 screen, at Elma Turner Library, beside the Red Wall. This 1973 film has been chosen from the selection held on Media Net in the library. Ask at the library information desk for more information on how to access other film material on Media net.

Andy Sugg is a leading Australian tenor and soprano saxophonist and band leader, he performs in a range of styles derived from jazz and other contemporary music. His music explores contemporary post-Trane improvisation in original compositions written for a small group setting.
While firmly grounded in its stylistic time and place,The Andy Sugg Group plays music that has left home.
It’s music in the moment, played by highly articulate musicians with something to say both as soloists and as members of a collective. The Group’s music embraces an eclectic range of compositional influences, which include contemporary jazz, funk, R&B and avantpop.
It’s Andy’s “blowing band”; a vehicle for extended improvisation in the best traditions of contemporary jazz. The Group’s current album, "Wednesdays at M’s", was recorded in New York City in 2016 with a stellar cast of expat and home-grown New York musicians, including Sean Wayland (piano), Nate Wood (drums) and Matt Clohesy (bass).
Musicans for Andy's New Zealand Tour and CD launch are;
Andy Sugg sax
Brad Kang guitar

Terminator, The Matrix, Wall-E, Get Smart … we’ve always been fascinated with gadgets, robots and machines. We generally tend to think of it as a 21st century construct, yet the earliest conceptualisation of robots can be found as far back as the 4th century BC.
One of the first recorded designs of a humanoid robot was made by Leonardo da Vinci in around 1495 AD. Renowned primarily as a painter Da Vinci conceptualised flying machines, a type of armoured fighting vehicle, concentrated solar power, an adding machine and the double hull. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime. Today, Leonardo is widely considered one of the most diversely talented individuals ever to have lived.
Nelson Provincial Museum is showcasing Da Vinci’s genius with an exhibition of some of his most ground-breaking technologies from the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci in Florence. All of the exhibits are handcrafted using the same materials and techniques used in the 15th century.Da Vinci Robots & Machines is on these dates: 15th April 2017 16th April 2017 17th April 2017 18th April 2017 19th April 2017 20th April 2017 21st April 2017 22nd April 2017 23rd April 2017 24th April 2017 25th April 2017 26th April 2017 27th April 2017 28th April 2017 29th April 2017 30th April 2017 1st May 2017 2nd May 2017 3rd May 2017 4th May 2017 5th May 2017 6th May 2017 7th May 2017 8th May 2017 9th May 2017 10th May 2017 11th May 2017 12th May 2017 13th May 2017 14th May 2017 15th May 2017 16th May 2017 17th May 2017 18th May 2017 19th May 2017 20th May 2017 21st May 2017 22nd May 2017 23rd May 2017 24th May 2017 25th May 2017 26th May 2017 27th May 2017 28th May 2017 29th May 2017 30th May 2017 31st May 2017 1st June 2017 2nd June 2017 3rd June 2017 4th June 2017 5th June 2017 6th June 2017 7th June 2017 8th June 2017 9th June 2017 10th June 2017 11th June 2017 12th June 2017 13th June 2017 14th June 2017 15th June 2017 16th June 2017 17th June 2017 18th June 2017 19th June 2017 20th June 2017 21st June 2017 22nd June 2017 23rd June 2017 24th June 2017 25th June 2017 26th June 2017 27th June 2017 28th June 2017 29th June 2017 30th June 2017 1st July 2017 2nd July 2017 3rd July 2017 4th July 2017 5th July 2017 6th July 2017 7th July 2017 8th July 2017 9th July 2017 10th July 2017 11th July 2017 12th July 2017 13th July 2017 14th July 2017 15th July 2017 16th July 2017 17th July 2017 18th July 2017 19th July 2017 20th July 2017 21st July 2017 22nd July 2017 23rd July 2017 24th July 2017 25th July 2017 26th July 2017 27th July 2017 28th July 2017 29th July 2017 30th July 2017 31st July 2017 1st August 2017 2nd August 2017 3rd August 2017 4th August 2017 5th August 2017 6th August 2017 7th August 2017 8th August 2017 9th August 2017 10th August 2017 11th August 2017 12th August 2017 13th August 2017

We are not dead.
We just smell bad.
"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the
war or black. But by getting the public to associate the hippies
with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing
both heavily, we could disrupt those communities...and vilify
them night after night on the evening news." -John Ehrlichman
