Voting is one of the most impactful things you can do for yourself and your community. On a macro level, it’s easy to think that you’re just one person and that your vote doesn’t make much of a difference, but your vote will matter. “Some elections are razor-thin. In 2016, the margin of the victory for President in the swing states was less than 1 percent,” It’s not just the presidential election on November 3rd for 2020. It is all candidates in the House of Representatives, seats in the Senate, governorships, and more. Your vote makes a huge difference.” Simply put, voting is power, “The theory of democracy is that it is a government for and by the people, and the vote is the basic building block that gives people the power to control their government and to shape what policies they want and the future direction of their town, state, and country.” In addition, that your vote should serve as “the great equalizer.” But that’s not always the case. There are many people for whom the right to vote is taken away. Discriminatory voter ID laws prevent millions of people from voting each year. Take for example the recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld a law requiring formerly incarcerated people to pay all fines and fees associated with their sentence before they’re allowed to vote; it could keep millions from voting on November 3. Voting in the 2020 general election is especially tricky. Social distancing rules, paired with an anticipated high turnout of voters. Millions of people, some for the first time, will vote by mail, and not every state is equipped to handle such volume of absentee ballots. Whatever situation you find yourself facing on November 3 rd take your vote in person.

To make sure your vote counts, you have to do a bit more planning than usual. First step, look to your state’s website for voting information and instructions for how to register to vote and do it now. X “Look early at what the overall plan is in your state: Is there early voting? If there is early voting, where it is going to be held? What is the process of mail ballots? What do you feel comfortable doing? And then really having a plan for how you’re going to vote.” If you’re mailing your ballot, send it in as early as possible. If your state has early in-person voting take advantage of it in order to prevent long lines on election day on November 3, when it’s expected that there will be a shortage of poll workers. “Anybody who’s interested in getting involved, serving as a poll worker is one of the best things you can do this year to serve your country. “It can be quite disconcerting to have a barrage of negative news every single day and feel powerless. “But there’s actually nothing like participating and actually doing something that is also one of the like healthy things you can do for yourself and for your community. Staying on the sidelines is disempowering; voting is always empowering.” Some tips for voters on election day; if you’re going to vote in personal at the polls and there might be long lines take a lawn chair, an umbrella in case it rain; prepare some snacks, drinks and something to eat; make sure your cellphone is charged; because you might be there for hours. The right to vote is precious. If you have it, you should use it.

POPCORN? Have You Ever Wondered...
Publishers Note Ethel Martin-Miller
Everyday I hear and see so much that is going on in our world. Its so much that its hard to comprehend! So, I searched the internet hoping to find something that I could read that would help change somethings if it is applied. I found this posepoetry by Bryant McGill that gave me the answer that we all can benefit from. Its time to look in the mirror and see who were looking at!

Whether you’ve cheering at a ballpark, checking out the latest box office release, or settling down on the sofa for family movie night, popcorn has been one of America’s most beloved snack-time sidekicks for decades. If you’ve ever wondered what’s going on inside your microwave as you pop up this tasty treat, grab a front-row seat and find out what all the noise is about. It’s time to go behind the scenes with one of the world’s oldest snack foods! So, what makes popcorn pop? And why doesn’t all corn pop when heated” The answer is a matter of simple science. Popcorn is a special kind of corn. Of all the types of corn, popcorn is the only variety that pops. Inside each kernel of popcorn is a tiny droplet of water surrounded by a hard shell called hull. As the popcorn is heated, the water turns into steam, which builds pressure inside the kernel. When the hull can no longer contain the pressure-–POP! —the kernel explodes and a fluffy new piece of popcorn is born. In America, consumption of popcorn rose steadily with the increasing popularity of television sets in the home
Why Do We Only Use 10 Percent of the Brain? Despite evidence, we do not seem comfortable letting go of this neuromyth. When someone says you are only using 10 percent of your brain, what does that mean? And how do we know that we only use 10 percent? We would have to know what 100-percent capacity looks like before we could say we presently use one-tenth of it, right? Here is the science behind it all. Have you ever met anyone who is missing 90 percent of their brain? Probably not. You have never heard of anyone with that much brain missing, because pretty much all areas of the brain are capable of electrical and chemical activity. People wouldn’t be able to function with that tidbit of grey matter. Even the regions of the cortex in blind people that normally process vision are co-opted for other funtions. Everyone makes use of the entire brain. Studies from neuroscience show that the brain uses about 20 percent of the body’s energy, and it would not make much sense to dedicate so many resources to such a small percentage of the brain. Along those lines, biologists say that we would not have evolved such big brains (about 1,400 cubic centimeters) if we only used just a little bit of them. Where Did This Originate? Who was the first to float this 10-percent idea, anyway? One possibility is William James, one of the great experimental psychologists from the early 20th century. He basically argued that we only operate on a fraction of our full mental potential, and that we can raise our IQ by tapping into this unused portion.

during the 1950s. As more people began staying home and tuning into their TV for entertainment, they found themselves craving a salty snack. The natural choice, of course, was popcorn! Long before the television was ever invented, however, popcorn was a part of American culture. Some historians even suggest Native American introduced the Pilgrims to popcorn when they brought it to the first Thanksgiving feast. Though Americans consume more popcorn than any other country in the world today, archeologists have found popcorn kernels in New Mexican caves they believe to be more than 4,000 years old, suggesting this savory snack has been a part of cultures around the world for centuries. When Spanish explorers arrive in Mexico, they discovered the Aztec Indians used popcorn to make the garlands, headdresses and ornaments they wore during “popcorn dances.” The Indians used to tell a legend explain the popcorn phenomenon. The legend claimed a tiny demon lived inside each kernel of popcorn. When the demon’s house was heated, he would get so angry he would explode!

Another possibility comes from the world of marketing. Apparently, the 10percent idea goes back at least as far as a 1929 self-help ad that states, “There is no limit to what the human brain can accomplish. Scientists and psychologists tell us we use only about ten percent of our brain power.” My favorite origin theory points to Wilder Graves Penfield, a Montreal neurosurgeon once named the “greatest living Canadian,” and who spent a great deal of time in the 1940s and 50s poking around the brains of fully awake, conscious people. There are no pain receptors in the brain, so once you apply local anesthetic and cut into the skull, you can prod all you want with an electric probe. Penfield documented correctly; I might add that only 10 percent of his probes resulted in observable events. A blink, a twitch, humming, left big toe wiggling, etc. Somehow this got twisted and shortened to “90 percent of the brain is not being used.” The truth, of course, is that 90 percent of the time, the brain is just doing something that is not a detectable event, like retrieving a memory or pondering the future. It should surprise no one that Hollywood keeps revisiting the 10-percent concept. Would it not be super cool to somehow unlock reserves of psychic power to win over friends and dominate enemies? Certainly. But in real life, at least for now, we’ll just have to figure out a way to do that with the brains we’ve got.

THE WORD
Lets all Pray Before Election Day that Unity will Abide Lord God, as the election approaches, we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country, and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community. We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty. We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn and those abandoned, Men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender. We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom. We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word, live your love, and keep in the ways of your truth as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Clever Uses for Vaseline We Never Thought of! Vaseline is a common household item that holds a lot more promise than you might have expected. Keep scrolling to read about the clever uses for Vaseline you may have never thought of before. Shine Your Shoes After you wear shoes around a lot, the shine they had when you purchased them might start to fade as they get dirty or even just more worn down. Instead of shining with polish, you could always take an easier route by scooping out a dab of Vaseline and gently rubbing it on the shoes. Fix That Squeaky Door If you have a squeaky door, you probably need to oil the hinge. At this point, many people reach for a bottle of WD-40. Yet, not everyone has this readily around the house. Don’t worry if you don’t because, once again, you can grab your handy jar of Vaseline. You just need to apply some Vaseline to the hinge — you can be as liberal as you want. It will lubricate the hinge and let the door move freely without creaking. Vaseline and Shaving If you want to keep your skin soft and healthy when you shave, Vaseline can come to your aid here, too. All you have to do is apply it after you shave and dry off. With the help of Vaseline, you can reduce how dry and dehydrated your skin is after you shave. In addition, the petroleum jelly can help relieve any shaving irritation you might have such as bumps or burns. In no time, this routine will ensure that your skin stays soft, smooth, and hydrated. Get Snails Out of Your Garden Slugs and snails are common in gardens but they aren’t always welcome. Not only are people generally grossed out by them but they also may eat your plants. You can prevent snails and slugs from getting into your garden without harming your plants by grabbing a bit of Vaseline. To start, mix Vaseline with salt to make a combination that’s dangerous and aversive to slugs and snails. Then, rub the mixture around the edge of your planters. Keep Ants Out Ants can be a pest in even the cleanest of homes. Especially during the summer, these little pests are apt to invade homes for food — even if it’s just the tiniest crumb. Your pets aren’t
immune to this either and noticing ants’ infestations in pet food bowls is a rather unpleasant experience all around. To help prevent this, add a little bit of Vaseline to the edge of your pet’s bowl. It won’t disturb them but it will keep ants from marching in. Heal Cracked Heels Dry, cracked heels can be unsightly and painful. However, they can also seem hard to handle if you aren’t quite sure what to do. The good news is that Vaseline can help moisturize your feet and restore a healthy appearance. To do this, all you need to do is apply it to your feet overnight until you notice your feet aren’t cracked anymore. Since Vaseline can be a little messy, it’s a good idea to sleep with socks on! Better Your Cuticles Taking care of your cuticles is important for both looks and comfort. However, it can be a challenge to keep your cuticles healthy. Once again, you can turn to Vaseline for a solution. The key to success here is to put Vaseline directly on your cuticles. To see lasting and consistent results, though, you’ll need to make sure that you apply the Vaseline to your cuticles multiple times a day. This will help hydrate your cuticles and keep them healthy. Preventing Wrinkles As you get older, there’s one beauty topic that gets increasingly brought up — trying to prevent wrinkles. There are plenty of solutions out there and some are prohibitively expensive. Again, you can circumvent this cost and difficulty with the help of Vaseline. All you need to do is apply a thin layer of Vaseline where you have wrinkles such as on the fine lines around your eyes and on crow’s feet. If you leave it overnight as a nightly routine, you’ll see results soon. Fixing Old Keys If you have an old key and a rusty lock, you might think you’re out of luck in actually getting the lock open. Indeed, it can definitely cause quite a challenge. Before calling a locksmith or simply giving up, try to apply Vaseline to the key and place it in the lock. You won’t want to add too much but rather just enough to offer a layer of lubricant to the process.
HOW TO PROLONG YOUR WATCH BATTERY A GREAT TIP FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR WATCH! If you pull out the crown of your watch (like you’re going to set it) and leave it out, it stops the watch. Thus, saving the life of your watch battery. A good tip, especially if you have a large collection of watches. This isn’t recommended for something you wear every day or very often. But if you have a nice dress watch that you only wear once in a while, this is a good solution to help extend the life of your watch battery. It will last many years instead of maybe just one. “How long should my watch battery last?” It really depends on that particu-

lar watch, and what features it has. For instance, if it has a light or other fancy gizmos & gadgets, it’s going to have more draw on that battery. It’s hard to give a definite answer, but it should last at least 1 year, maybe up to 3. If it doesn’t last very long, it could be something inside the watch that’s draining the battery. If that’s the case, it may need servicing. Our Expert Watch Repairman can fix just about anything. So, if your watch has been acting strange, bring it in. We always give an estimate before any work is completed. And all watch repairs come with a 6-month warranty.

What Are the Risks and Benefits of Drinking Cold Water? Staying hydrated has proven benefits Trusted Source for your mental and physical health. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends that men 19 and older consume 3.7 liters of water per day (15.5 cups) and women 19 and older consume 2.7 liters daily (11.5 cups). But can drinking cold water have a negative impact on your health? Some people believe that drinking cold water is a bad habit that can actually harm your long-term health. This belief is based on the idea that drinking cold water contracts your stomach, making it harder to digest food after a meal. Some people also believe that your body has to work harder to maintain its internal temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) if you’re drinking water that’s near the temperature of ice, or less than 36°F (4°C). But is there any truth to these ideas? Keep reading to find out the possible risks and benefits of drinking cold water. Drinking cold water does affect your body in ways you may not anticipate or want. One older and small study from 1978Trusted Source, involving 15 people, found that drinking cold water made nasal mucous thicker and more difficult to pass through the respiratory tract. By comparison, the researchers found that chicken soup and hot water helped people breathe more easily. If you’re trying to treat a cold or flu, drinking cold water might make your congestion feel worse. There are some health conditions that drinking cold water can aggravate.

Drinking cold water was linked in 2001Trusted Source to triggering migraines in people that already experience migraine. The pain related to achalasia, a condition that limits your body’s ability to pass food through your esophagus, can also Trusted Source get worse when you drink cold water with a meal. In ancient Chinese medicine, drinking cold water with hot food is seen as creating an imbalance. Typically, meals in the Chinese culture are served with warm water or hot tea, instead. This belief is mirrored in several other cultures around the world. Some people hold a similar belief that drinking cold water on a hot day won’t help cool you down. There isn’t enough research to conclude that either belief is true or false. Drinking cold water does have its benefits. Drinking cold water during exercise Trusted Source can help keep your body from overheating and make your workout session more successful. This is probably because drinking cold water makes it easier for your body to maintain a lower core temperature. Drinking plain water, no matter the temperature, has been proven to give your body more energy throughout the day. Drinking water as an alternative to sugary beverages is good for your digestion and maintaining a healthy weight, even if the water you drink is on the colder side. Drinking water that’s cold may actually help you burn a couple of extra calories as you digest it because your body has to work harder to maintain its core temperature. But it’s not likely that drinking cold

water is a powerful jump-start tool for weight loss. Drinking warm water can aid in digestion, help your circulation, and overall assist your body in getting rid of toxins faster. While this isn’t a “risk,” per se, it’s something to keep in mind as you decide how you’d like to get water in your body. Drinking warm or hot water has been found to make you less thirsty. This can be dangerous on days when your body is losing water through sweating to try to keep cool. If you do opt to drink warm water, be aware that you may not feel thirsty as often as you should. Some people may want to avoid drinking cold water. Drinking cold water while you have a cold or flu, or if you have any chronic condition that results in slower digestion, is probably not a great idea. But while some cultures regard drinking cold water as a significant health risk for everyone, there isn’t a lot of evidence to support that claim. There are plenty of benefits to drinking warm water, though. As for the benefits of drinking cold water? They turn out to be the same benefits of drinking regular room-temperature water: Keeping you hydrated and giving you more energy. If you’re concerned about your digestion, trying to make a plan to lose weight, or feeling like you might be consistently dehydrated, speak with your doctor and make a plan that will keep you hydrated and healthy.

Kathryn Seifert Ph.D. The belief that we are all created equal is one that is inherently flawed. This belief that everyone is created equal and that we all have the same chance to succeed in life is fundamentally flawed. The truth is that we are not all created equal in our ability to achieve success. Every person has a unique set of strengths, which can aid in achieving the success they desire. Conversely, each person also has their own unique set of challenges that inhibit them in achieving such success. We are meant to share our strengths with those close to us and resolve the challenges we face together. The United States is the most powerful nation in the world but it spends less on helping the poor than most other Western nations. Increasingly more people take on the attitude, “Why should they get help when I never did? I turned out fine.” But that belief is not true. If you “turned out fine,” then you did receive help along the way, whether it is from family, teachers, or friends, and it was this help that contributed to where you are today. Not everyone is lucky enough to grow up in a nurturing environment and it is these people that we should try and provide support to. If a child is born disabled or grows up in a poor, abusive, or criminal home, they do not have the same chance at success as a child born healthy, to a high-income, loving family that lives in a nice neighborhood. The former will start school approximately 1.5 years behind other students and by third grade, they will be three years behind their peers educationally. These are the facts. In this situation, most children will never be able to catch up and this will subsequently affect the rest of their lives.
Lending a helping hand because you were born with some advantages that others may not have can make this world a better place for all of us. It will enable us to learn lessons from the strength’s others gained from struggling through challenges they faced. It can reduce violent crime and create a better and safer environment for future generations to grow up in. We all have different views and opinions and everyone is free to express these views as they wish. In this country, the right to free speech is one of our most important principles. If you travel around the world, you will see that other countries do not have advantages equal to those of the United States in respect to individual freedoms and standard of living. In Israel, armed guards stand at shopping mall entrances searching bags as shoppers enter. In China, you see children begging for food on the street. In war-torn regions like Syria, you see millions displaced by the violence that has taken hold as a result of people fighting for the very freedoms, we all take for granted. My viewpoint is simple: As one of the world's most powerful and wealthiest countries, we can afford to help those less fortunate. So, we should. If we truly want everyone to have an equal chance at success in life, then we need to extend a helping hand to those who need it right now. This is not limited to strictly financial support. Providing love, care, guidance, and mentoring are vital aspects missing from the lives of many. Anyone is capable of providing these support functions and we can all play a role. This is not about being Republican, Democrat, black, white, Christian, or Muslim this is simply about being human.
