Remember the children’s book “Where’s Waldo”? This incredibly popular book series used to display complicated pictures where kids would try to find Waldo. Well, I have a very uncomplicated analogy to Where’s Waldo.
It is Where’s Mark Kelly. Who is Mark Kelly? Well, very few people know.
He happens to be a temporary U.S. Senator from Arizona, who is up for re-election next year. He is also a former astronaut and a retired U.S. Navy captain. And therefore we thank him for his service to his country.
But now, as a senator from Arizona, he qualifies for the Where’s Waldo book series. Where’s Mark Kelly?
The big government socialist Biden bill is the talk of the town. Every day, it’s a top story in Washington and newscasts across the country. Everywhere you go people ask, can it be stopped? Why do we need more inflationary spending? Why is it going to make our taxes even higher? Why does he want to supercharge the price of oil and gasoline, that’s damaging blue-collar middle-income families?
Everyone’s talking about this bill, except Mark Kelly. No one knows what his position on the bill is. That’s because in the past 8 months he has not said a word about it. Not a single word. This is a guy who is up for re-election, with a pretty shaky voter base.
Now his Arizona colleague, Kyrsten Sinema has had plenty to say about the Biden bill. She has made it very clear that she cannot vote for it at present because it spends too much and taxes too much. Her polls in Arizona have skyrocketed because of her opposition.
She and Joe Manchin – two moderate Democrats bucking the far-left progressives in the White House and Congress.
In fact, the whole country is cheering for them to push for a pause lasting well into next year. Sinema is getting heavy support from Republicans and Independents.
Sen. Waldo – I mean Sen. Kelly – has shaky support, and only from Democrats. Kelly tells people he models himself after John McCain, but John McCain was a very outspoken guy, on everything, who frequently bucked his own Republican Party. Mr. Kelly is outspoken on nothing.
He has not made one clear statement about this monstrosity of a socialist bill since taking office. Or at least we couldn’t find one. We looked everywhere. We looked on his official Senate Twitter account, nothing. He’s got 103,000 followers, which ain’t much for a senator.
To quote our great friend Kim Strassel of the Wall Street Journal, “Mark Kelly has yet to muster a concrete public position on most anything concerning the bill’s size, shape, or timing … He could perhaps see the value of means-testing and he trumpeted his support of a provision allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices.”
In other words socialism. And that’s all we know about him.
And given the massive unpopularity of Joe Biden’s socialist monstrosity of a bill, I’m going to suggest that Mr. Kelly is going to have a hell of a time getting re-elected next year. I mean really, on a gigantic issue like this, Where’s Waldo? I have a thought: Save America, kill the bill.

Journalist, trade unionist and social activist
The funeral of Lionel Morrison, the youngest accused, at age 21, in South Africa’s historic, four-year treason trial that began in 1956, will be held in London in two weeks. Morrison died after a long illness in his north London home last week, only weeks after after his 81st birthday. A journalist, trade unionist and political activist, he was born in 1935 and grew up in the Coronationville township outside Johannesburg.
By the age of 20, living in Cape Town, he was the secretary of the ANC-aligned Coloured Peoples’ Organisation (later Coloured Peoples’ Congress). Inspired by the adoption in 1955 of the Freedom Charter, in 1956 he painted the slogan “LET US BLACK FOLK IN” on a wall in the parliamentary precinct. On another, nearby, wall he wrote: “THE PEOPLE SHALL GOVERN”.
He was caught and his handiwork earned him a four-month prison sentence. After three months, he was released and headed back to Johannesburg having lost his job on the then Golden City Post, precursor to the City Press. However, just six days after his release, he was one of 156 men and women detained in a countrywide pre-dawn security police swoop. They were all charged with the capital offence of treason.
A year later, charges against 65 of the accused, including Lionel Morrison, were withdrawn. He went to work with Drum magazine and helped establish the first, although short-lived, non-racial union for journalists. “Arrests, detentions and harassments took care of that,” he once noted.
Less than four years later a state of emergency was declared in the wake of the Sharpeville massacre and the banning of the ANC and Pan Africanist Congress (PAC). There was another countrywide security police swoop, with hundreds of activists detained, Lionel Morrison among them. He spent five months in jail, much of it in the “hanging prison”, Pretoria Central.
By then, he was also questioning the “multi-racialism” of the ANC and its allies, including the then already underground SA Communist Party. The comment by Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe of the PAC that “there is only one race, the human race. Multi-racialism is racism multiplied,” made sense to him and he decided to go into exile and join the PAC.
It was a decision that saw him ostracised by his former comrades when he got to Britain on a ship he had managed to board in Cape Town with the aid of one of the crew. Divorced from the mainstream of exile South African politics, he dedicated himself to encouraging greater black participation in both trade unions and journalism as well as spending several years as a representative of the Afro-Asian Journalists’ Association in China that he helped establish.
An executive member of the British National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the union’s first black president, he also helped found some of Britain’s first newspapers serving the black community and played a key role in establishing the George Viner Memorial Fund that aids black journalism students. This has helped to address the fact of there being a disproportionately low number of black journalists working in Britain.
A passionately non-sectarian anti racist, Lionel Morrison was for years the principal information officer of the British Commission for Racial Equality and was instrumental in ensuring that the NUJ supported all anti-apartheid campaigns. For example, the NUJ, with Morrison’s support, became the headquarters for perhaps the largest trade union-based international anti-apartheid campaign the “Friends of Moses Mayekiso”, despite the fact that it was bitterly opposed by the ANC and its allies.
However, Morrison never expressed anger about such snubs and opposition, seeing them as opportunities to engage in debate. And what NUJ president Michelle Stanistreet this week referred to as his “passion and commitment to journalism and to social justice and equality” earned him an OBE in the Queen’s honours list in 1999. In 2008, the South African government also included Lionel Morrison in its list of recipients for the Order of Ikhamanga: “For excellent achievement in journalism and contributing to the ideals of a just and democratic South Africa.”
Tributes to this “man of the people” have begun pouring in from around the world. His family plan to bring his ashes to South Africa in the new year to be scattered “on home soil”.
Lionel is survived by Liz, his wife of 46 years, sons Sipho and Dumisa and their children.

Srinagar: Thirty-three persons including eight fresh visitors from Pakistan administered Kashmir crossed over the Line of Control through Karvan-e-Aman bus service on Thursday, official sources told Press Bureau of India.
They said 12 persons were board the â€˜peace busâ€™ when it arrived here and included eight fresh visitors from Pak, who are meeting their relatives first time after separation in 1947. Â Four persons from this side of the divide also returned home after stipulated stay in Pak, they said.
The passengers travelled from Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pak, to Chakoti, near the LoC in Uri town of north Kashmir. As a part of procedure, the travellers alighted from the bus and crossed the Aman Setu (Peace Bridge) on foot.
Two fresh visitors from this part of the Kashmir also travelled to Pak while ten Muzaffarabad residents returned home after completing their 28-days of allotted stay here, they added.
The cross-LoC bus was flagged off by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in April 2005.

Students enjoy Florida as part of environmental studies class
Seven students recently took the opportunity to combine their spring break with a study of the Sunshine State’s environment as they camped, canoed and snorkeled their way through Southern Florida – and even enjoyed some close encounters with alligators.
The students – accompanied by Dr. Daniel Shustack, chair of MCLA’s Department of Environmental Studies – kept a busy schedule as they explored Hillsborough River, Lake Wales Ridge, a restored cattle ranch, scrub, dry prairie, a sawgrass marsh, a mangrove swamp, cypress domes, the Florida Keys and Everglades National Park.
A highlight of the trip, which was part of a course on “The Environment of South Florida,” was the opportunity to canoe in the Everglades’ Nile Mile Pond.
“March is breeding season for the American Alligator in South Florida,” Shustack explained. “On our paddle, we passed about five alligators, at least one of which was a female guarding a nest in some nearby vegetation. During the breeding season, the females are protective of their nests and are less likely to leave the area when people pass through.
“So, we had a few moments of passing quite close – less than 5 feet – from 6- to 8-foot-long alligators that were hanging out in the canoe trail,” he continued. “At other times during our trip we heard male alligators bellowing, even from our campsite.”
For Alacin Fanning ’15, a biology major from Lunenburg, Mass., it was the first – and last – trip she would take as an MCLA student. The opportunity to go someplace new while earning upper level course credits before she graduates next month appealed to her.
While she enjoyed the “awesome” weather, the wildlife the group encountered was the most surprising part of the experience. “I developed a new respect for that,” Fanning said. “I’ve always enjoyed the natural world, so it was cool learning about it.”
In addition to canoeing, the students enjoyed snorkeling at Dry Rocks Reef and near Key Largo at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.
“The water was clear, warm – about 75 degrees Fahrenheit – and calm on the day we were snorkeling,” Shustack said. “Many in our group saw a variety of corals, fish, squid and jellyfish.”
“Snorkeling was probably the best part of the trip,” said Amber Luke ’15, an environmental studies major from Hoosick Falls, N.Y.
Like Fanning, Luke will graduate in May. She opted to take the trip because, “I thought it would be an experience that I might not get a chance to have again.”
According to Luke, “It was so much fun seeing all the fish, jellyfish and squid in their natural habitat. Also, camping for 10 days was a blast.”
In addition to the recreational opportunities that Southern Florida offers, the experiential component of the trip made quite an impact on the students.
“For example, when we visited a spring we saw the water pushing from the ground. We could feel the force of the water as it pushed us back when we tried to swim toward the chasm,” Shustack said.
“Two days later, we visited an area where a spring used to exist. That spring had gone dry because the groundwater had been pumped out for use in mining operations. A spring larger than the one we had been swimming in was gone. Wow. Seeing and experiencing that made that thought sink into one’s mind in a different way, I think.”
Luke recommends the trip to other students. “It was so much fun and we learned so much.”

Cable provider Logic is being forced to black out U.S. and Canadian channels providing coverage of the Winter Olympics after being served with a “cease and desist order” by Cayman Islands rights holder Hurley’s Media.
Hurley’s is broadcasting the event on Cayman 27 as part of an exclusive agreement with Jamaica-based International Media Content Ltd, which bought the regional rights for the event and the summer 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
As part of the deal, cable providers across the region are required to black out any other channels showing coverage.
Randy Merren, general manager of Hurley’s Media Ltd, confirmed that the company had given Logic until 10 a.m. on Feb. 19 to comply with the order..
He told the Cayman Compass Monday that he believed the company had now met that demand.
In an earlier statement, Mr. Merren said, “It has come to our attention that Logic have been broadcasting the Winter Olympics illegally, after being advised that any channel carrying the Winter Olympics must be ‘blacked out’ to align with the details of the exclusivity contract awarded to Hurley’s TV.”
He said an advisory of these exclusive broadcast rights was first issued by IMC to all media companies in the Caribbean back in November 2017. It was clearly stated that “the only authorized broadcast channel in the Cayman Islands is Cayman 27.”
Logic carries Cayman 27 and its customers are still able to access the Winter Olympics coverage being broadcast on that channel.
No one from Logic responded to inquiries from the Compass on Monday.
Ransford Ricketts, of Jamaica-based IMC, said it had bought the broadcast rights for the entire region and entered into various agreements with cable companies and broadcasters in different countries, including Hurley’s Media in the Cayman Islands.
He said the broadcast rights of U.S. and Canadian channels screening the coverage, including CBC and NBC, do not apply outside of the North American region.
Any broadcaster screening Winter Olympics coverage on any platform in the region, needs an agreement with IMC.
“We have to protect our rights and our investment,” he said.
“Our international partners expect that those rights that are sold to us are not breached and are fully protective.”

Top Ten Signs of Teenage Depression, Can Parents help Mitigate it?
Simon Says is Hampshire’s Child Bereavement Support Charity, helping children to re-adjust to life after the death of someone important in their lives. Depression can play a part in that re-adjustment.
Research suggests that just under 62K teenagers aged 11-16 year-olds are seriously depressed in the UK and this figure is sadly on the increase. Most parents expect their teenagers to be moody, uncommunicative and spend hours in a darkened room with laptops and phones emerging periodically for food.
However, when should parents pick up on the warning signs that things have moved on from this stereotypical behaviour to teenage depression, anxiety and other mental health problems.
Mental health professionals recently listed these top 10 top behaviours that teenagers are expected to display if they are suffering from depression, warning parents to put them on their radar.
1. Shunning social contact and not enjoying the things they used to
2. Losing their appetite
3. Finding it hard to concentrate
4. Complaining of stomach aches
5. Feeling exhausted and having difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much
6. Low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence
7. Gaining or losing a significant amount of weight
8. Refusing to go to school or college, or playing truant
9. Tearfulness and extreme moodiness
10. Defiant, violent or disruptive behaviour at home or school
These symptoms should not be left untreated, and you are advised to seek professional help as soon as possible. As a parent, not being able to reach your child when they appear to be so vulnerable can be very distressing, mental health experts say “parents can you help!”
1. Gently communicate, be open, be there to chat but don’t push.
2. Get them to write it down, start by leaving them an encouraging note somewhere they will find it.
3. Encourage them to exercise, exercise releases mood-enhancing chemicals, even just ask them to walk to get a pint of milk from the local shop.
4. Impose a routine, depression hates routine, teenagers will welcome the structure.
5. Encourage healthy eating, good fuel feeds the brain and helps overcome mental stress
Finally, the Mental Health Profession say parents need to remember to look after themselves, the powerful emotions teenagers display can be extremely stressful to family life, talk to people around you, with 1 in 10 children suffering from depression, and it’s very likely you could find support from your current friendship group.

We/Or/Me Premiers New Video for Single, “The Dusty Roads”
Dark-Folk musician We/Or/Me premiers video for “The Dusty Roads” in preparation for upcoming album, Everything Behind Us is a Dream, due out January 29th. The video finds singer Bahhaj Taherzadeh walking on a road through a cemetery, with a grainy polaroid filter giving viewers the impression of a memory lost to the past.
The video’s cemetery sits behind Taherzadeh’s home in Chicago. “Filters were used to give it the look of old 16 mm film,” he says. They add a “hazy, dusty atmosphere to the visuals, which harken to the song’s themes of disenchantment, memory, loss and self-discovery. The way the footage jumps and cuts is intended to give a sense of a journey seen from many different angles, disjointed and messy.” This mood mirrors the feel of the song, steeped in layers of dark, ambient folk.
“The Dusty Roads” is spectral and delicate. It floats like a ghost through a room, intimate in delivery, evocative of distant images and landscapes. An acoustic guitar walks around as fingers bring it to life; triumphant harmonica refrains serve as fanfares for the song’s purpose: we are all on our own, and it is up to us to create our own stories. It is a song about life’s journey, but it is also about death: the death of innocence and childhood perception. What better place to set this scene than amidst a sea of gravestones, where countless ideas have come to rest forever.
We/Or/Me is the musical alias of Bahhaj Taherzadeh, quite possibly the world’s only Persian-Irish singer/songwriter. Born and raised in Dublin to an Iranian father and an Irish mother, Taherzadeh now lives in Chicago where he has plied his trade as a manuscript editor and writer over the years. Steeped in storytelling traditions on both sides of his lineage, Taherzadeh, a self-taught musician from a decidedly non-musical family, started to write songs in the mid-2000s, rarely sharing them with anyone apart from a few close friends. His string of self-produced releases drew admiration from the likes of Robin Hilton of NPR’s All Songs Considered, Glen Hansard, and producer Brian Deck. In recent years Taherzadeh has collaborated with British folk legend Vashti Bunyan, and has shared the stage with the likes of Mumford and Sons, Laura Marling, the Swell Season, and Mt. Eerie to name just a few.

Proud of Britain: Madness (Mike Barson) speaks out on White Helmets
No, of course we are not proud of the government of the UK (same problem in Holland), or their hoaxes on Salisbury or Douma, but we are proud of Britons like Graham Phillips, Rodger Hodsons and all the great fans that travelled to Russia and so many more who oppose their government (never an easy thing to do!) and search for truth, peace and reasonability. Their government is horrible (like elsewhere in NATO-dominated countries), but the numeber of people brave enough to speak out against it in Britain seems bigger than in countries on the EU-continent.
The legendary Mike Barson, "Madness", (who did not grow up with his Ska rhythms in the 80's?) is another person in this series of great Britons. Watch the interview between Phillips and "Madness" and listen to his wise words on the White Helmets, the Mainstream Media, governement, Donbass and Crimea. Among others. Great piece of work between (also already legendary?!) Grisha and Mike!

Eight days earlier than in 2014, the Split Airport on Wednesday saw its millionth passenger this year. It was a passenger on a Croatia Airlines flight to Zurich, according to a report in Poslovni.hr.
This year’s millionth passenger at Split Airport was Swedish citizen Satumaarika Emmesjoe who, together with her family, spent her holidays in Dalmatia.
Noting that this year’s millionth passenger was welcomed eight days earlier than last year, representatives of the Split Airport say that the total passenger traffic this year is 11 percent better compared to the same period last year.
At a small ceremony, staff of the Split Airport presented the Swedish passenger with a commemorative gift voucher worth 300 euro which can be used in a duty-free-shop at the airport, while Croatia Airlines gave her two return tickets for a flight of her choice.
The lucky passenger said she was pleasantly surprised by the award and that she did not expect such a beautiful end to her holidays in Croatia. She said that she had wonderful time and that she and her family will certainly return to Croatia in the future.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Moro Muslims or Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philippine government have agreed a peace deal to end a 40-year conflict that has killed more than 120,000 people, President Benigno Aquino said on Sunday.
The agreement sets in train a roadmap to create a new Bangsamoro autonomous region in Muslim-dominated areas of the south before the end of Aquino's term in 2016. Bangsamoro refers to Muslim and non-Islamic minority people in the southern Philippines.
Expectations are high that after nearly 15 years of interrupted talks, both Muslims and the government will work side-by-side to realise the promises contained in the agreement, to be signed on Oct. 15 in Manila and witnessed by Aquino and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
The two sides reached the deal for the resource-rich region during talks in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur.
"This agreement creates a new political entity and it deserves a name that symbolises and honours the struggles of our forebears in Mindanao and celebrates the history and character of that part of our nation. That name will be Bangsamoro," Aquino announced via a live broadcast from the presidential palace.
"This framework agreement is about rising above our prejudices. It is about casting aside the distrust and myopia that has the plagued efforts of the past," said Aquino, surrounded by his cabinet ministers.
Zainuddin Malang, executive director of the Mindanao Human Rights Action Cente, a civil society group monitoring an existing truce in the region says the two sides must take extra caution in their next steps.
"This agreement is merely an opportunity to end the conflict. The actual end of the conflict can only come from its successful implementation. We can only hope this agreement won't suffer the fate of prior agreements," Malang said.
"What is very important here is that we have a president who has so much political capital, backing the framework agreement, so the chances are higher to end the conflict."
The deal will set up a 15-member Transition Commission, which has until 2015 to draft a law creating the new entity to replace the current autonomous region.
The new entity and its jurisdiction will be determined through a plebiscite after the passage of the organic law.
The Muslim area will gain more political and economic powers, including imposition of taxes to cut central government subsidies, a bigger share in revenues from natural resources and a more active role in internal security.
"This framework agreement paves the way for a final, enduring peace in Mindanao," Aquino said. "It brings all former secessionist groups into the fold; no longer does the Moro Islamic Liberation Front aspire for a separate state.
"This means that hands that once held rifles will be put to use tilling land, selling produce, manning work stations, and opening doorways of opportunity for other citizens."

Inspired by summer days spent in Bude walking along Summerleaze beach, this painting portrays the feeling of serene space thats experienced on a perfect summers day on the coast. The paint of the sand was applied combining a palette knife and brush marks, creating both an interesting texture and softness that evokes the tranquil feel of the day. The breath of fresh sea air combined with the faint sound of waves crashing in the distance makes for a meditative experience. The painting depicts the familiar view of rich blue horizon lines of the cornish coastline with hints of surf from the momentous sea of the area.

Cost of living in Valencia (Venezuela) is 13% more expensive than in Aarhus (Denmark)
WARNING! This comparison is based on only a few data points. At this point it is only a guess. It is based on 687 prices entered by 52 different people.
For example, you would need at least kr31,583 (301,645 Bs.S.) in Valencia to maintain the same standard of living that you can have with kr28,000 in Aarhus.

A sustainable city is foremost an energy thrifty city with a minimum of energy used for transport. A good example is the 1976 master plan for Dodoma in Tanzania, an energy poor country, where planners were forced by circumstances to design a city with this objective in mind.
This is not your average subdivision. It is a community (28,000 population, 316 ha , 4 neighbourhoods with 1,400 dwelling units each) in which 50% of residents walk or cycle to their jobs in their own community centre, including offices and a light industrial area.
No building or structure is higher than 3 floors to save on power hungry escalators and lifts. 100% solar orientation and optimization of the use of prevailing winds for cooling in summer.
4 communities surround a city centre with the other half of the jobs. One ring line (bus or tram) and 2 radial lines would be sufficient as public transport. The total population would be 112 thousand, but that could easily be increased to 120K or even 160K (on a larger area). A pentagon shape could accommodate a maximum of 5 x 40K = 200K.
This is equivalent to one yearly immigration in-take at present levels. In other words, to sustainably accommodate immigrants, Australia would have to build 1 city of this type every year, preferably OUTSIDE the commuting distance of existing capital cities. But this is NOT being done. Instead we are adding more and more population to cities which are already now unsustainable.

Australia’s capital cities are far from being oil and energy efficient enough to go through the double crisis of peak oil and global warming without major changes in lifestyle of their population. These cities are likely to break apart into whatever survivable subcentres will emerge, held together by electric rail (if available). But even regional centres have become an urban sprawl replica of their larger counterparts so they are oil vulnerable, too.

Professional treatment of alcohol and drug problems can start
someone on the road to recovery, but a few weeks of treatment should
not be mistaken for long-term recovery.
If you have severe alcohol and other drug problems, you should know
that successful recovery from these problems involves significant
changes over time in:
- personal identity and beliefs
- family and social relationships
- daily lifestyle
It is about where you live, how you work and play, who is included
and excluded from your life, and how you cope with the stresses of
daily life. Recovery is more than just not drinking or using drugs; it
is about putting together a new and meaningful life in which alcohol
and drugs no longer have a place. Recovery from addiction is not like
getting over an infection for which we can rest and take medication for
a week or two and then get back to our otherwise unchanged lives. Those
who view treatment for addiction in this way make up the group for whom
treatment does not work. Recovery from addiction is closer to how
someone successfully manages diabetes or heart disease – conditions
that require sustained decisions and actions for life.
The Good News
- The positive effects of addiction treatment are substantial, as
measured by sustained sobriety (about one-third of those treated) and
decreases in substance use and substance-related problems.
participation in treatment aftercare meetings and recovery support
groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous can significantly improve your
chance of permanent recovery, improve your quality of life and prolong
your life expectancy.
- Combining professional treatment and
attending recovery support meetings improve your chances of recovery
better than either activity alone.
- Lifetime recovery rates of
people with a substance use disorder approach or exceed 50%. There are
millions of individuals and their families in long-term recovery from
the effects of severe substance use problems.
- There are multiple pathways and styles (secular, spiritual, religious) of long-term addiction recovery
- Recovering people can go on to lead lives of significant achievement and community service.

Gospel : John 2:1-11
There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. When they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the wedding was all finished, the mother of Jesus said to him,
‘They have no wine‘.
‘Woman, why turn to me? My hour has not come yet.’
His mother said to the servants,
‘Do whatever he tells you.’
There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants,
‘Fill the jars with water’, and they filled them to the brim.
‘Draw some out now’ he told them ‘and take it to the steward.’
They did this; the steward tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from – only the servants who had drawn the water knew – the steward called the bridegroom and said;
‘People generally serve the best wine first, and keep the cheaper sort till the guests have had plenty to drink; but you have kept the best wine till now’.
This was the first of the signs given by Jesus: it was given at Cana in Galilee. He let his glory be seen, and his disciples believed in him.
Donal Neary SJ
Gospel Reflections Year C
Cana: New wine for life
The human side of the gospel today is the huge need of a young couple on the best day of their lives. Jesus hears of their need and the result is the wine for the wedding, but more so, it is the promise of the fullness of God.
We look for the fullness of life in money, food, sex, travel, security, reputation-none last. Only the simplest joys of life really satisfy in the end, like the joy of love, the thrill of friendship, the caring in family and the ways we enjoy the goodness of creation.
A man asked once in the hospice at the end of his life -'what is happiness?' 'Find happiness now' was his answer -'be satisfied, be grateful, for what you have, for what you have received, for what God has given you.' There is a fullness of life in being happy with who I am, what I have... and asking God for what he knows I need.
No matter what our .age, we can do good for others, we can share the graces of life and the soul can grow. That's what I hope can happen for me as life goes on. In any group of people, some look happy and some look miserable. The happiest are not always the ones who had or are having the easiest life. They are the ones who have found peace with themselves, others and God.
Because of the gift of the fullness of God in 'new wine', we always have a home, here and after - in the heart of our God in Jesus Christ now and for eternity.
Jesus of the wedding feast of Cana,
give us the faith and hope to know that you can always make a change for the better in our lives, and the love to live by what we receive.

At the age of thirty-five, the night of Good Friday 1300, Dante is lost in a dark forest and very frightened by it. He sees the sun-drenched mountains and tries to climb them, but the leopard, the lion and the wolf prevent it. Dante is forced to return to the forest. There he meets the spirit of Virgil, who promises to lead him through hell and purgatory to Paradise. Dante agrees and follows Virgil through the gates of Hell.
Directly behind the entrance are the souls who during their lifetime did not do good or evil. Then you can see the river Acheron through which the ferocious Charon carries the dead on a boat to the first circle of hell.
This is Limb. Here the souls of warriors, sages, poets languish. as well as unbaptized infants. They mourn that they have no place in Paradise. Dante and Virgil went and talked about the unearthly together with the great poets of antiquity, the first of which was Homer.
At the descent into the second circle of hell, the demon
Minos determines which sinner to cast down. The travelers saw the swept souls of the sensualists swept away by the whirlwind (Cleopatra, Elena the Fair, etc.) The tragic death of them led to mutual passion..
In the circle of third travelers met the dog Cerberus. Here, under a downpour, lie in the mud, the souls gluttonous. Among them, Dante’s countryman, Florentine Chakko. They talked about their hometown and Chakko asked Dante to remind him of him alive after returning to earth.
In the fourth round they execute wasteful people and miser. He is guarded by the demon Plutus.
In the fifth round, angry and lazy are tormented. They are mired in the swamps of the Stygian lowland.
Then the travelers came to a tower. Around her is a vast pond through which the rower fights, the demon Flegius.
Before Dante and Virgil stretched hell city Diet. All dead evil spirits prevent them from entering. The heavenly messenger suddenly appeared at the entrance to the city, curbing their malice. In Dita, the travelers saw the tombs enveloped in flame, from which the groans of heretics are heard.
the descent from the sixth circle in the seventh Virgil explained to Dante the arrangement of the remaining three circles tapering to the center of the earth.
The seventh circle lies between the mountains and is guarded by the Minotaur. There, the travelers saw a bloody boiling stream, in which tyrants and robbers were cooked. From the shore, the centaurs shoot at them from bows. Centaur Ness volunteered to conduct travelers and helped to find a ford across the river.
There were prickly thickets all around. These are the souls of suicides. They are pecked in infernal birds of Harpy, trampled dead and this causes them unbearable pain. The souls of new sinners move towards them. Among them, Dante recognized his teacher Brunetto Latini. He is guilty of a propensity for same-sex love. Three more sinners dance for a similar sin in the fire.
Then there was a deep dip in the eighth circle. There goes the hellish beast Gerion.
The eighth circle consists of ten ditches, called Zlopazuhi.
In the first, pimps and women seducers are executed, and flatterers in the second. The demons are beaten by demons, and the flatterers sit in a mass of feces
The next ditch is laid with a stone with round holes. Out of them are the burning feet of clerics who traded in church positions. Their heads and torsos are clamped with stones.
In the fourth sinus, the soothsayers and the sorcerer, who are twisted by the neck, are executed.
The fifth – filled with boiling tar, which throws bribes. Then the travelers see the crucified high priest insisting on the execution of Christ.
In the seventh bosom the path goes through the rocks. Here they execute thieves – they are bitten by poisonous snakes and they crumble to dust, then recover in their guise.
And in the eighth bosom executed insidious advisers.
In the ninth – the sowers of the Troubles are executed. The devil cuts their noses and ears, crushes the skulls. The travelers came to the well through which Antaeus lowered them on his huge palm to the bottom. They were near the center of the globe.
Before them stretched an ice lake, in which the traitors of their relatives were frozen.
In the center is the frozen ruler of Hell Lucifer, he is a three-faced man. From the first of his jaws sticks out Judas, from the second Brutus, from the third Cassius. Lucifer tears at their claws. From it stretches a well to the opposite terrestrial hemisphere, squeezed into which the travelers ascended to the surface and saw the sky.
They were in purgatory. We washed ourselves at the shore of the sea, washed away the soot of abandoned hell.
From the sea distance they were approached by a canoe driven by an angel with the souls of the deceased, who did not go to hell. On the canoe the travelers reached the shore and went to the foot of Mount Purgatory.
There the travelers communicated with the sinners, who had time to sincerely repent before they died, and for this reason they did not enter Hell.
Dante lay down on the grass, fell asleep and was transferred to the gates of Purgatory in a dream. Guarded by the gates of the angel, he inscribed the letter “G” – “sin” 7 times on his forehead. These seven letters will be erased as you climb the mountain.
In the first round of Purgatory sinners are atoned for their sin. They are bent under the weight of stone blocks as a punishment for sin.
In the second round – envious. They are blinded, their eyes can not see anything.
In the third circle, those possessed with anger are cleansed. There was black haze, humbling their fury.
In the fourth circle the lazy ones are cleared. They are here to run fast.
In the circle of the fifth – miser and wasteful. There was an earthquake caused by glee because one of the souls was cleansed and ready for ascension: it is the Roman poet Stacius
In the sixth circle, the gluttons are cleansed. They are condemned to starving.
From the forehead of the travelers, the penultimate letter is erased and the path to the seventh circle of Purgatory is opened to them.
In the seventh circle, the sensualists are cleansed. They burn in the fire and sing, glorifying abstinence and chastity.
Now travelers must walk through the wall of fire and there is no other way to Paradise.
And here is Paradise Earth. It is located in a blossoming grove. Beautiful donna collects flowers and sings. She told Dante that there was a golden age, but then, among the paradise, the happiness of the first people was ruined by sin.
According to Paradise, righteous elders are marching in snow-white clothes, wreaths of roses and lilies on their heads, wonderful beauties are dancing everywhere. Suddenly Dante saw his beloved – Beatrice and lost his senses. He woke up immersed in oblivion – the river of oblivion of sins.
Further, Dante went to the river Evno, the water from which strengthens the memory of the perfect good, and washed with it in Stacy. Now Dante was clean and worthy to climb the stars.
From Earthly Paradise Dante and Beatrice both flew to Heaven
In the first heaven of Heaven – in the sky of the Moon, they met the souls of nuns who were forcibly married. Beatrice explained that although they were victims, they should bear a certain responsibility for what was done against the violence, because they did not show heroic perseverance.
Then they flew to the second heaven of Paradise – to Mercury, to the souls of ambitious righteous ones who shine and radiate.
In the third heaven, Venus, the souls of lovers are blissful. They shine in the stars.
The fourth star, the Sun, is the abode of the wise. Further – on Mars and white Jupiter, where the souls of the fair are hovering. Their lights turn into letters, and then into the figure of the eagle, a symbol of the righteous imperial authority approved in heaven.
Eagle entered into a conversation with Dante. He embodies the idea of justice, he has a visionary eye made up of the most worthy light-spirits.
Travelers ascended to the seventh heaven – to Saturn. This is the abode of contemplatives. From the height of Dante looked down, and saw a ridiculously small earth ball.
In the eighth heaven, thousands of fires burn – these are the triumphant spirits of the great righteous. Beatrice asked the apostles to talk with Dante. With the Apostle Peter they talked about the essence of faith. With the Apostle John – about love, faith, hope. At the eighth sky, Dante saw the radiant soul of Adam. Then the ninth heaven, supreme and crystal.
The first thing Dante saw in the sphere of the ninth heaven is a dazzling point. This is the symbol of the deity. Round it revolve lights – nine concentric angelic circles – seraphim and cherubim, and the most remote and extensive – the archangels and angels.
Angels, as Beatrice said, are the same age as the universe. Their rapid rotation is the source of all movement in the universe.
Further – ascension to Empires – the highest region of the universe. There he saw an old man in white who pointed upward, where Beatrice was shining. This elder – Bernard, henceforth – the instructor of Dante, with him together they began to behold the rose of Empyrea in which the souls of immaculate babies shine. Bernard prayed to the Virgin Mary, helped Dante. Then he gave him a sign, look up. Looking at the brightest light Dante gained the highest truth. He contemplated the deity in his trinity.


When teacher Sean Rosenberry was recently hired as the general music teacher at Holy Cross School in Charlotte, he was delighted. Here was an opportunity to share his passion for music with young children, and introduce them to the joys of listening to, playing and creating music.
Rosenberry had inherited a good number of percussion instruments with his new classroom, including drums, cowbells, rhythm sticks, and tambourines. But there weren’t many barred instruments (xylophones, glockenspiels and metallophones).
Barred instruments are an important resource for elementary school students. They’re easy to learn, and even very young children and those with special needs can start making real music right away. Yet they can also be adapted to more difficult pieces for older students.
Unfortunately, the few barred instruments that Rosenberry found were old, broken and barely usable. That was a problem.
So, Rosenberry, who is the son of Democrat and Chronicle columnist Missy Rosenberry, has turned to the community for help.
On Friday November 20, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Holy Cross School will hold a “Raising the Bar for Holy Cross” benefit concert to help raise the estimated $6,000 necessary to purchase enough barred instruments to effectively serve the school’s 340 pre-K through 6th grade students – many of who live in Greece.
The two-hour concert will feature performances by The Dady Brothers and Rosenberry’s own Irish duo, Barry’s Crossing. WROC-TV 8 news anchor Maureen McGuire will act as emcee.
Admission is $5 per person, maximum $20 per family, and will be collected at the door. The evening will also feature raffles, and refreshments will be available for purchase.
For more information about the Raising the Bar for Holy Cross benefit concert, to donate a raffle prize or purchase an advertisement in the program, email Sean Rosenberry at email@example.com.

IT IS DIFFICULT to underestimate the strategic importance of merging the three leading Chinese rare earths producers.
China Minmetals Rare Earth Co., which is part of state-owned China Minmetals Corp., Chinalco Rare Earth and Metals Co, part of state-owned Aluminium Corp. of China, and Ganzhou Rare Earth Group, which is also state-owned but whose production is suspended for environmental reasons, will form a new group under direct central government control.
The new entity, China Rare Earth Group, will control approaching three-quarters of the country’s rare earths output, which accounts for two-thirds of world output.
The consolidation will give Beijing strategic control of the industry and help it manage domestic competition, particularly pricing, to ensure stable and price-certain supplies to end-users throughout the supply chain. Beijing has used the same approach in consolidating rail transport and shipping lines.
China Rare Earth Group will likely at some point also acquire two of the three remaining rare earths producers, Xiamen Tungsten Co. and Guangdong Rare Earth Group Industry Group.
The 17 minerals that comprise the rare earths group are essential for producing components of high-tech goods from electric vehicles to defence systems. The permanent magnets needed to make electric vehicles and wind turbines account for 30% of the demand for rare earths, followed by catalysts (26%) and polishers (13%). Magnets made of rare earth alloys are stronger than those made of alternatives such as iron or aluminium nickel compounds.
Access to rare earths will become even more critical for manufacturing as the world electrifies in its transition to low-carbon economies. Global demand for rare earth elements is forecast to rise by more than 40% if the world gets anywhere near its climate change commitments.
Chinese producers are well placed to fill that additional demand as they are subject to government-set output quotas that have kept capacity utilisation to 50-60%.
The other geostrategic dimension is that while China currently accounts for two-thirds of global output, it has less than two-fifths of known rare earths reserves. The United States and other large importers of rare earths mined or refined in China want to reduce that dependency by turning to alternative suppliers.
Washington now views rare earths in national security terms. In the past, Beijing has threatened to cut off supplies of refined rare earth products to US aerospace firm Lockheed Martin for trading with Taiwan.
There are significant rare earths deposits in California and Australia, but they are more expensive to mine and refining capacity is limited (non-existant in the United States).

Combines are lumbering through almost 620,000 acres of California rice, gathering what is certain to be a record crop that could reach 50 million hundredweight.
The last time California planted 600,000 acres of rice was 1981, the year after prices reached $14 per hundredweight. The largest crop California has produced so far was 43.5 million sacks in 2000. Rice is growing on fields this season that have not seen rice in a decade.
The telltale clue that this is a huge crop will be the lines of truck at Sacramento Valley driers waiting to unload.
The crop started out with great expectations; a manageable carryover and promising sales prospects. Unfortunately, the sales did not materialize and the carryover on Oct. 1 could be 5.5 million hundredweight, according to Bill Huffman, vice president of Farmers’ Rice Cooperative, Sacramento, Calif.
"We will have over 50 million bags of rice to market this season — a substantial marketing challenge compared to prior years," said Huffman.
It is a high quality crop in the field waiting for combines to gather it. Growers are hopeful north winds do not spoil it during the 45-day harvest season that is well under way and expected to continue until Oct. 15.
Before California rice growers began seeding what became the largest crop in California history, prices were unbelievably good, as much as $8.50 over government loan. The price got so high California beer breweries were "importing" cheaper Southern U.S. long grain rice into California to get around high California prices.
Since then the price has plummeted $8 per hundredweight from spring prices, not because there is a worldwide glut of rice. The glut is only in California because some traditional California rice markets did not materialize over the summer and warehouses are bulging with old crop rice as the record rice crop comes in.
Huffman said millers have scrambled to find storage for old crop rice to make room for the new crop.
"It is going to be tight, but we can probably get the entire new crop under cover," said Huffman.
John Gilbert of Adams Grain in Arbuckle, Calif., said there is a critical shortage of truck drivers this year for all crops. It could become acute during rice harvest. He expects long waits at driers.
Butte County Rice Growers Association (BUCRA) grower members Steve Rystrom and Curt Josiassen, both rice farmers in the Richvale, Calif., area, say BUCRA increased its drying capacity several years ago and there should be minimal waits there.
"The capacity of the combines used today is amazing," said BUCRA president Carl Hoff. Twenty years ago growers had harvesting capacity to load only a single set of doubles in a day. Today, with the newer combines they can expect to load 10 sets of doubles in a day, if the rice is not severely lodged.
"BUCRA should be as good as anybody this season keeping trucks moving in and out of the driers," said Rystrom. "Getting the rice to the drier at the right moisture at the right time is critical to maintain quality. When you fail to do that is when you lose money."
Josiassen operates his own on-farm drier and trucks.
"I think we are ready for this crop, but that does not mean I am not nervous," said Hoff.
Eighty sacks per acre is considered an average yield. However the average includes lower-yielding specialty rice types. California growers produce predominantly medium grain rice and 90-sack yields per are (9,000 pounds) are common in some of the newer rice varieties.
"I would be more surprised to get less than 90 sacks per acre this year than more than 90 sacks," said Yuba City, Calif., rice grower Charlie Hoppin.
Rystrom and Josiassen concur.
"Planting weather was great. Last year it rained through most of the spring and it was June before we planted. This year the weather was ideal during the prime planting time from about the fourth week of April to second week of May. If you planted late, it was only because you wanted to," he said.
Growing season weather conditions were ideal, "just the right amount of heat and no cold nights of any significance. Cold nighttime temperatures can really hurt a crop. Nothing negative happened so the potential is there for a huge crop," said Rystrom.
Weed pressure continues to be the major cost for rice growers.
"I sprayed three times for weeds this year where I would normally spray only once or maybe twice," said Josiassen. Growing weed resistance to registered herbicides is one reason for that. Another is prime rice growing weather is also prime weed growing weather, said Josiassen.
"We thought armyworms might come in and be a problem, but they did not materialize. Weevils and shrimp were not a major problem," said Rystrom.
The only obstacle to a record, high quality crop is the threat of a north wind at optimal harvest time. "If you are just about ready to harvest at 20 or 21 moisture and a hard north wind blows in, quality drops off dramatically," said Rystrom. "BUCRA sees a downturn in quality when that happens."
"A south wind does not bother the crop," he added.
While crop size is a big topic at the coffee shops, the price plummet since spring is an even bigger one.
There are growers who held out for spot prices of $10 per hundredweight over loan when the price got up to $8.50. They are now offering their stored rice for only 50 cents over loan, according to Huffman and Rystrom.
"Of course not everyone is in that boat," said Rystrom. Producers in marketing pools will likely do well on the average. Others in the spot market locked in at $4, $5 and $6 over loan when the price started falling.
However, there are rice farmers who left $8 per hundredweight on the table this year.
Reason for the free fall was not a world oversupply of rice. It is too much California rice. Huffman said Turkey has not lifted its ban on imports as expected.
"Turkey normally takes a couple million hundredweight of California rice each year, but it has not taken that this year. Turkey has still not issued import licenses and that has been a big blow," Huffman said. Plus, Taiwan and Japan did not tender offers in July as expected. And, there were no PL-480 purchases as there have been in the past.
"Fortunately, domestic demand has been strong for California rice. We have not seen much affect on our markets as a result of the Atkins diet," said Huffman. "The type of rice we produce in California is preferred by the Asian population in this country and the Atkins diet does not to seem to affect that segment of the population."
However, California rice is highly dependent on world trade.
"That is why the current WTO discussions and negotiations are so critically important to California. We have to export and successful expansion into markets in Japan, Korea and Taiwan is critically important to move this crop," said Huffman.
Regaining access to the Middle East markets like Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon is also critical, added Huffman.

Here's The Thrilling Video Of Trump's First State Of The Union
On Tuesday night, Jan. 30, President Donald Trump delivered his very first State of the Union address at 9 p.m. ET, in front of a joint session of Congress. In the speech, he discussed various issues in our country, accompanied by the closest members in his cabinet and his unfiltered monologue. The video of Trump's first State of the Union has emerged online and you can check it out below.
President Trump was expected to discuss his $1.7 trillion infrastructure plan, America's trade policy, the tax bill, and his proposal to Congress for $25 billion to build a border wall with Mexico, according to CBS News. He was also expected to mention his latest exchange offer: a pathway to citizenship for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. When speaking to the network on Monday, President Trump seemed thrilled about the address. He said,
It's a big speech and an important speech. Well, I hope it's going to be good. It's going to — we worked on it hard. Cover a lot of territory, including our great success with the markets and with the tax cut.
And after watching his speech, it seemed like he really did work hard on it.
During a background briefing on Friday, on Jan. 26, a senior White House official told reporters the speech would also be "unifying." They said,
If last year was described as optimistic, I think this speech is also optimistic but it's also very unifying. In the sense that it is unifying around the greater opportunities for all Americans as a result of last year's jobs growth and success in the economy.
However, there's one thing that wasn't mentioned in the speech: the investigation into Russian election meddling.
CBS News also asked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders if the president would revisit the topic, which she pretty much shut down. She said, "I think we've addressed it every single day that we've been here. It's certainly not the thing that keeps people up at night. We'd love to talk about all of the things that do."
But some things can't be ignored.
With dozens of Democrats who skipped the State of the Union, it's possible the president might address that issue. Democratic Reps. Maxine Waters, Pramila Jayapal, John Lewis, Frederica Wilson, and Earl Blumenauer have all said they were skipping the event in protest of things like Trump's recent alleged comments on foreign countries. And Reps. Jackie Speier and Lois Frankel called on attendees to wear black to the State of the Union in support of survivors of sexual harassment or assault. President Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women (the official White House position is that Trump's accusers are lying, and Trump has denied knowing his accusers).
It was also suspected the president would address unemployment rates for black Americans during the address. Trump, who has struggled to win support from African Americans, has perpetually boasted about low unemployment rates, which is 6.8 percent for black Americans specifically as of December 2017, according to CNBC.
On Monday, Jan. 29, just a day before the event, Sanders promoted President Trump's strides to close the unemployment gap. She said,
Look, I think you can see from the steps that we've already taken that we're trying to fix unemployment for all Americans. That's the point that the president has made time and time again, is that he wants it to be better for everybody.
And surely, if President Trump has a point that repeatedly falls on deaf ears, we can pretty much expect that he'll address it at the next opportunity — aka the State of the Union.
This year, the president, along with several other lawmakers and politicians invited dozens of guests to the State of the Union. Among the attendees, invited by both sides of the aisle, were DACA recipients, victims of gang violence, a transgender veteran, those rebuilding Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, and others.
Whatever the topics were, the event was surely a memorable one for the president, who has had a rocky first year in office, including a tell-all book, widespread criticism from the press, calls for impeachment, a government shutdown, a wave of sexual assault allegations and more. All that being said, he did a great job reading a script.

Highland County Commissioner Shane Wilkin will meet with Department of Justice grant officials at 10 a.m. Monday to discuss the $844,000 federal award for crime fighting and rehabilitation of the Rocky Fork Lake region, a grant that was awarded in October 2016 but has been in limbo for nearly a year.
Wilkin said earlier this month that DOJ officials had finally agreed to a meeting, but the exact time and date had not been established until this week, when Wilkin received a phone call.
Also attending the meeting will be county commission clerk Nicole Oberrecht, who handles grants for the county. Wilkin said Oberrecht would fly in Monday morning and out again later the same day. Wilkin will be in Washington longer for meetings connected with the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission.
Wilkin said Wednesday that after he gave DOJ officials the names of who would be attending from the county, they asked, “Is that it?”
Wilkin said, “I told them, ‘That’s the way we do it in rural Ohio. I don’t have a big staff.’”
Staffing and oversight issues have been among the concerns expressed by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the grant wing of the DOJ.
After months of local officials receiving little to no responses from the BJA about the grant snafu, federal officials finally responded to inquiries earlier this month from The Times-Gazette, saying the holdup was due to concerns that “key grants management responsibilities were being administered by a sub-recipient,” and “the grantee did not have adequate internal controls in place to ensure funds were to be expended in accordance with the terms and conditions of the award.”
Wilkin and others have said that a major part of the problem with the grant has been constant changes in requirements, endless requests for more documentation, and, as other officials described it, “moving the goalposts” in ways that small counties like Highland cannot adjust due to small staffing.
For several months Wilkin was frustrated by a lack of answers, saying in late January that he had offered “to fly out (to Washington) for a face to face.” He said he wanted to ask, “What happened here? Why did this happen?”
The agreement by BJA officials to meet with Wilkin came on the heels of Times-Gazette articles detailing the difficulties that elected officials and the newspaper had experienced in getting answers from federal officials about the holdup of the award from the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program.
The Times-Gazette’s stories included expressions of frustration from U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-2nd Dist.) and U.S. Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio).
Wilkin said BJA officials had been communicating with him through Wenstrup’s office until finally contacting him directly by phone this week.

Humans are born with a sweet tooth. From birth the newborn baby smells and taste the milk of his mother. As adults it is not different. We grow up with many cravings for something sweet.
One Can of Coke has 10 Teaspoons of Sugar
The average North American consumes more than 130 pounds of sugar and related products every year. That may sound impossible but when you consider that one can of Coke has 10 teaspoons of sugar; you see that it is not that hard as the average American also drinks about 1 or 2 sodas per day.
When it comes to refined sugar, the bottom line is that as intoxicating as it may be, it is addictive and there is little room for it in a healthy diet. It is by far more damaging than helpful. It is lethal when ingested because it provides what nutritionists describe as “empty” or “naked” calories.
There are many ways that sugar can harm the body and it would literally take a book to discuss the harm.
How is Refined Sugar Harmful to the Body?
Here are seven ways that this refined sweetener is harmful to the body.
1. Sugar Depletes Body of Vitamins and Nutrients
Because it depletes the body of vitamins and nutrients, sugar suppresses the immune system, leaving the body little room to defend itself.
2. Sugar Feeds Cancer Cells
Sugar feeds cancer cells and has been linked with the development of cancer of the breast, ovaries, prostate, rectum, pancreas, biliary tract, lung, gallbladder and stomach.
3. Sugar Links to Tooth Decay
Sugar has a high acidic content and as a result, it has a direct link to tooth decay and other dental problems.
4. Sugar Links to Diabetes and Blood Sugar Fluctuations
Refined sugar has a direct affect on your blood sugar levels and is a main cause of diabetes.
5. Sugar and Obesity
With the zero nutritional value and no fiber content in sugar, it’s clearly implicated in obesity, which can cause many other illnesses and conditions. .
6. Sugar and Anxiety Disorders
Sugar can cause a rapid rise of adrenaline, hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and crankiness in children and even adults. One of the first things that a person diagnosed with anxiety disorder is told to eliminate is refined sugar.
7. Sugar and the Aging Process
Another result that stems from the fact that sugar has no nutritional value, is that it accelerates the aging process. In order for a body to remain healthy it must have the necessary vitamins and minerals needed to maintain vigor and energy. Again, sugar is not only void of nutrients, but it also zaps the body of the good stuff that is already there.
All-in-all sugar is the one of the worse substances you can put in your body. However, the fact that there are sweet taste buds on the tongue still leaves the desire for something sweet to be consumed. It makes one wonder what to do if sugar is harmful to the body.
There are so many other alternatives out there to satisfy the sweet tooth. Literally the earth is full of many natural sweet options. Fruit is a wonderful alternative to satisfy your sweet tooth and you have a bounty to choose from. As far as sweeteners you can try stevia or agave nectar. They are both great choices for baking, sweetening tea and whatever you use sugar for.
Sugar is addictive and very damaging to the body. The wisest choice that you can make in deciding what to do about sugar is to simply decide to get it out of your pantry.
