• THE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILING TO KEEP LEGAL & FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS in order and available to family members at time of incapacity or death can be huge – financially as well as emotionally.

  • SIX HOURS OF DAILY STANDING BURNS ENOUGH CALORIES to lose 5½ pounds after one year and 22 pounds after three years, according to multiple Mayo Clinic studies with over 1,000 people. “Spending more time on your feet (perhaps at a standing desk) is also healthier than the well-established harmful effects of prolonged sitting.” [THE WEEK – March 2, 18]
  • AVERAGE GLOBAL LIFE EXPECTANCY IS JUST UNDER 71½ YEARS, but that average is at least ten and up to 30 years longer in five locales around the globe – within Italy, Greece, Japan, Costa Rica and, strangely, California. The common denominators among these spots involve (1) largely plant-based, nutrient-dense diet including whole grains & nuts, while avoiding processed foods & meat; (2) daily physical activity, particularly walking; (3) emphasis on family and community which share common principles and serve as “social support strong enough to dull mental stressors and reinforce shared healthy behaviors.” In Loma Linda California, where average life span is a full decade longer than other Americans, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church has a very strong community which also emphasizes the Sabbath – a full day of “rest, reflection and recharging.” [TIME – Feb 26, 18]
  • HOW TO SLOW DOWN GLOBAL WARMING continues to be much debated, and most scientists remain focused on cutting carbon emissions as the best possible solution. However recent experiments at Univ. of Oxford suggest “it may be time to try large-scale atmospheric intervention… through strategies like (1) planting millions of trees to absorb carbon; (2) making roofs white to reflect infrared rays; (3) spraying clouds with salt water or biological agents to reflect solar rays; (4) dispersing iron sulfate to increase oceanic plants which could draw carbon out of the skies, and even (5) simulating a giant volcano (by coating the stratosphere with sulfur aerosols) to block sunlight.” [BUSINESSWEEK – Feb 10, 18]
  • “THE POPULARITY OF FORTUNE TELLERS & TAROT CARD READERS has opened the door to ‘Demonic Activity’ and tripled the demand for Exorcism” by some 500,000 Italians each year. The Vatican has responded by offering additional courses for Priests enabling them to “purge people of the devil and possession.” [LEVINE BRIEFING NOTES – Feb 24, 18]
  • OUR PUBLIC DISCOURSE IS INCREASINGLY SHAPED by the “neo-Marxist Left’s identity-based, ‘social justice’ worldview, in which all interactions are defined by a hierarchy of power and oppression. Free speech itself is falling into disrepute, as a tool of the patriarchy… Writers now know that one ‘incorrect’ opinion on sensitive issues of race and gender can result in instant social ostracism with demands they be fired – so they remain silent. Men cannot discuss sexual harassment; whites cannot talk about racism. The goal of our society is not emancipation of the individual, but permanent placement of the individual in the proper identity group: white, black, brown, female, gay, etc. We used to call it bigotry; now it’s called being woke.” [THE WEEK – Feb 23, 18]
  • THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:

        97,000 Identity Theft victims were notified by IRS last year about criminals using their social security numbers to get employment, but 460,000 others were NOT notified due to a ‘programming error.’

     “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.”  – Charles Krauthammer     “The theory of democratic government is not that the will of the people is always right, but rather that normal human beings of average intelligence will, if given a chance, learn the right and best course by bitter experience.”  – W.E.B. Du Bois
