Happy New Year! Fireworks Celebrations Around The World | E-Neighborhood Advisor

When the Chinese invented fireworks, they used them during celebrations to keep the evil spirits away. The practice still rings true today because all around the world, fireworks are still used to celebrate major events. Of course New Year celebrations top the list for using fireworks, but fireworks are the guest of honor at many other celebrations around the world too. Below is a list of some of the famous celebrations and festivals which are known for their fantastic fireworks displays. New Year’s Eve (worldwide) Throughout the world, the New Year is ushered in with a lot of excitement. Many, many countries celebrate it with massive fireworks displays. Sydney, Australia, is one of the first countries to celebrate it due to their location relative to the worlds time zones. You can be sure almost anywhere you go in the world on New Year’s eve, you’ll be treated to a beautiful fireworks display. Fourth of July (United States) As you know, this is a holiday celebrating our country’s declaration of independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. Throughout the United States, fireworks displays are held especially in the major cities such as Washington DC, New York, Las Vegas and LA. Singapore Fireworks Celebrations (Singapore) This is an annual event held in celebration of the country’s National Day. Pyrotechnics teams are invited to this event to create fireworks displays on different nights. In 2019 the schedule looked something like this: Fireworks were estimated to go off from 8pm to 8.20pm on the 6, 13, 20 and 27 July, and 3 and 9 Aug 2019. Guy Fawkes Night (Great Britain and several former British colonies) In 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to assassinate the King of England by placing some 30 barrels of gunpowder in the cellar of the Parliament of England. He failed and was captured. On the same day every year, people from Great Britain and some of its former colonies celebrate the event by having fireworks displays. Of course, any time you can add fireworks to a celebration, you’re sure to have a crowd pleaser. We’re looking forward to a great celebration for the New Year holiday coming up! Stay safe out there, and Happy new Year! Your Flooring Consultant, Matt Capell Email: sales@capellinteriors.com Phone (208) 288-0151 Fax (208) 917-6160 P.S.

Why We Give Gifts | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Giving is enriching and it's good for us. For starters, genuine giving - doing something good for another - makes us feel good. Plus, it releases oxytocin, the love hormone, into our body. This hormone induces feelings of warmth and a closer connection to others. To be a better giver, make it a priority. Giving is not all about money and giving things, it can also include time as a volunteer or helping someone in need. Whichever form of giving you choose, set giving goals. Decide how much you will give, spend, or time allocated. Then make sure to take the first step, even if it’s a small one. Make giving easy. The simpler giving is, the more likely you are to continue the habit. Financial giving can be automated between you and the organization you're donating to. Schedule in your calendar the day and/or time you will give to charity,  another person, or shop for gifts. In fact, to shop you don't even need to leave home when online shopping. Bring a friend along Volunteering with a friend our joining a local organization that gives services, food, clothing, etc is sometimes a great way to start the habit of giving. New habits can have a bumpy start, but the more we keep at them, the more ingrained they become into our daily lives. Developing the habit of becoming a better giver can be like that at first. Yet, over time, it gets easier and it's good for our mental health too. Your Flooring Consultant, Matt Capell Email: sales@capellinteriors.com Phone (208) 288-0151 Fax (208) 917-6160 P.S.

How To Choose The Proper Running Shoe | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Ready to run off that huge Thanksgiving dinner

you just ate? Let’s talk shoes…

Choosing the right running shoe can make all

the difference in whether you stay healthy or

become injured running and also determine if

you will be comfortable or be in pain while

running.

Bargain shopping is the number one big-time

mistake made by most novice runners. Trust

me, you are not going to find a proper running

shoe at Walmart!

Thinking cheap will end up making you quit

running due to the sheer misery of having bad

shoes. Some of those who are more tenacious

may wait until they blow out their knee or have

major shin splints before they throw in the

towel.

With all the choices and high-tech shoes

available today, choosing the right pair of

running shoes for you can be an arduous task

at best. But here are some guidelines to help

you.

First you need to understand pronation, which

is rolling of the foot from heel to toe through the

foot strike. A proper or neutral pronation is

hitting the back side of the heel and up to ball

of your foot evenly across the front. This is how

your foot reduces the stress of impact.

If most of the shoe wear is:

 On the medial (inside) side then you

Overpronate


 On the lateral (outside) side then you

Underpronate


 Uniform across the forefoot then you

have a Neutral Stride

Using this knowledge will give you a good start

in selecting the appropriate running shoe for

your foot.

Here is an article with a good list of differentshoe types to choose from based on yourrunning style and pronation.

Here’s a great article about how running shoes arebuilt.

P.S. Here's a joke for you!

I talk to my shoes.

The box says converse.

What’s Thanksgiving Without Pumpkin Pie? | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Pumpkin pie is standard fare at most

Thanksgiving feasts. Many of us look forward

to eating it for dessert once a year. However, if

you are tired limiting your pumpkin intake to

that thick, sweet piece of pie at the end of this

already-filling meal, consider these interesting

alternatives.

You can find pumpkin mixed into soups,

salads, main dishes, desserts (other than pies)

and even drinks. Here are a few different ideas

to get your culinary juices flowing: pumpkin

soup, pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin-chicken chili,

pumpkin risotto, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin

muffins, scones, cookies, bars and breads,

pumpkin butter, pumpkin-pecan cheesecake,

pumpkin beer, pumpkin fudge, and pumpkin

crème brûlée.

Recipes for these and many other pumpkin

dishes are plentiful online, here are a couple

recipe lists you can choose from:

44 ways to eat pumpkin all dangday

60 best pumpkin recipes for delicious falldinners

And, if you want to start a new pumpkin

tradition, roasted pumpkin seeds are easy-

to–make and not as time-consuming as baking

a pumpkin pie. It is a fun multi-generational

activity which can be enjoyed by children all

the way up to senior citizens as your

Thanksgiving Day unfolds.

Here are step-by-step directions:

 Rinse the seeds in cold water and

remove the pulp and fibers, then drain

and blot dry.

 Coat pumpkin seeds with melted butter

or vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with

salt or your favorite seasoning.

 Spread them on a baking sheet and

roast at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-

30 minutes or until golden brown.

One four pound pumpkin will yield

approximately two cups of seeds.

If you roast some of the seeds and plant

others, next year you will have your very own

pumpkin patch. Then you can select from

pumpkins you have grown for use in recipes,

thereby starting another tradition for you and

your family!

P.S. Here's a joke for you!

What did the pumpkin say after Thanksgiving?

Good-pie everyone!

5 Reasons You Should Learn a Foreign Language | E-Neighborhood Advisor

With globalization at its height, knowing one or

two secondary languages has become more

than a simple feat of high class and intelligence

but also a strict requirement in many

occasions. Whether it’s for professional, social

or personal reasons, learning at least one

foreign language is a must for anyone that

wants to keep his or her head up high in

today’s society.

Let’s take a focused look on 5 of the main

reasons that should turn you towards learning

a foreign language.

1. Professional Requirement

This is often the main reason one would learn

a foreign language. Many professions require

the knowledge of at least one or two foreign

languages, depending on the field of the job.

Although English is the main international

language (and one that is present the most

often in job descriptions), knowing a secondary

might also prove vital. Most jobs may ask that

you know another international language such

as French, Spanish or German or a business-

specific language such as Chinese, Japanese,

Russian and so forth.

2. Social Bonus 

Yes, knowing one or more foreign languages is

definitely a social bonus. Knowing a foreign

language can be literally a social blessing is

when meeting a person from another culture or

country whose language you can speak.

They’ll be extremely impressed by and grateful

for your ability to talk with them through their

own native tongue. If the other person happens

to be part of a business meeting, this

impression can turn to a successful business

partnership, bringing you both professional and

social satisfactions.

3. Family Communication

Those in relationships formed between people

of diverse nationalities often understand each

other through a commonly known international

language such as English. However, they’ll

soon want to start learning the other persons

mother tongue, not only for a better

communication, but also out of respect for their

partner.

4. Personal Satisfaction

Learning a foreign language is one of the

highest personal intellectual goals that one

could have. Think about a difficult puzzle, or

math problem that takes months if not years of

constant studying in order to be solved. The

process of solving it may be a hard, arduous

one but the joy at the end is well worth it. The

same is true with learning a foreign language:

the learning process is not easy and you’ll

have many small issues and problems to tackle

along the way. If you keep the problem in sight,

however, and if you don’t lose interest in it, the

chances of solving it are extremely high and

the intellectual fulfillment that you get at the

end is highly satisfying.

5. Keeping Your Mind Healthy

It’s been scientifically proven that the process

of learning a new language stimulates your

brain in such a way that it will make learning

other subjects, including math, physics,

chemistry and so forth easier. Learning a new

language requires the memorizing and

understanding of several thousand new words

and concepts, which offers your brain a good

training for future occasions where memorizing

is a must. After studying a foreign language

you’ll have better results with studying for

exams, with information assimilation and

generally, with keeping your mind healthy and

active even at older ages.

What language are you interested in tackling?

P.S. Here's a joke for you!

What’s the least spoken language in the world?

Sign language.

You Might Be A Chocoholic If … | E-Neighborhood Advisor

chocoholic (Noun) (def): a person

who has or claims to have an addiction

to chocolate.

 If you have more than 2 secret

stashes of chocolate candy, you

might be a chocoholic. (Be

honest.)

 If your top 3 favorite candies all

have chocolate in them, you

might be a chocoholic.

 If you have more than 4 books at

home on chocolate, you might be

a chocoholic.

 If your favorite dessert is

chocolate cake with chocolate

frosting and chocolate ice-cream

on the side, then you might be a

chocoholic.

 If you name chocolate as one of

the seven wonders of the world,

you might be a chocoholic.

 If you bookmark more than 2

websites on the health benefits of

chocolate, then you might be a

chocoholic.

 If your favorite movie is Charlie

and the Chocolate Factory, you

might be a chocoholic.

 If you own more than one

chocolate-related T-Shirt, you

might be a chocoholic. (If you

actually wear that chocolate T-

Shirt in public, just admit it. You

are a chocoholic.)

 If you name your first-born child

after your favorite chocolate

candy – then you are a definite,

full-fledged chocoholic.

If you are a chocoholic, there you may

want to try one of two possible cures:

CURE #1: Chocolate Overdose

In several cases a chocolate overdose

will effectively kill your chocolate bug

for a period of time. At some point, too

much chocolate in a given month will

cure your addiction – for at least a

week. Your personal chocolate

overdose limit will depend on your

level of addiction.

CURE #2: Chocolate Substitution 

Chocolate substitution is another

option, if the chocolate overdose

doesn’t work. It involves starving your

chocolate bug by offering it

wholesome candy substitutes. The

concept is that your body will gradually

forget its craving for chocolate.

If one of these cures doesn’t work,

well, at least you would enjoy the

attempt . . .

By the way, here are some great links

on the health benefits of chocolate. You

may want to bookmark them in case

someone tries to convince you that

chocolate is not good for you.

7 Health Benefits of Dard Chocolate

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/7-health-benefits-dark-chocolate

What are the health benefits of dark

chocolate?

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324747.php

Are there health benefits from

chocolate?

https://www.heart.org/en/news/2019/02/12/are-there-health-benefits-from-chocolate

Well, of course it makes sense that

chocolate really is healthy. Chocolate is

made from a bean – and so, wouldn’t

that be like eating a vegetable?

P.S. Did you know . . .

Chocolate comes from cocoa,

Cocoa comes from a tree,

Trees are plants,

Chocolate = salad.

Why do people wear costumes on Halloween? | E-Neighborhood Advisor

It's almost time for the ghosts, goblins, and a multitude of other uniquely costumed individuals to flow from their homes into schools, businesses, and parties. The smaller ones may be knocking on your door in a few days. Costume ideas are limited only by the boundaries of the imagination and inspiration can be found everywhere! Yet, why do people dress up for Halloween? In the first ten years of B.C., October 31st was the last day of the Celtic calendar and the day of their Samhain festival ("summer's end"). That was an annual festival celebrating the end of the harvest season and winter's start on November 1st. It was also a time to honor the dead. The Celtics believed souls were freed to roam the earth at the end of their calendar year. To protect themselves from spirits with bad intentions, they wore masks and disguises during the Samhain festival. In fact, some believed if they looked dead the spirits would consider them one of the ghostly and leave them alone. Over time, as Romans took over the lands, the Roman holiday of Feralia - when they remembered and commemorated their dead - melded with the Celtic Samhain festival. Many customs and traditions of Halloween arrived in North America with immigrants in the 1800s and since then the holiday has evolved to include some new traditions like pumpkin carving. Today Halloween is more about having some spooky fun than honoring past lives. From young to old, people dress up in whimsical, scary, and iconic costumes and gather with friends to celebrate.

Revenge of the Rabbits | E-Neighborhood Advisor

It’s never a good idea to mess with the balance of nature. Australia learned that lesson the hard way, and it all began with such a harmless creature. In the 1850s, both domestic and wild rabbits were introduced to the isolated country. But the European settlers who imported them had not considered several key factors: (1) absence of large predators, (2) plentiful food and (3) the habits of rabbits. The rabbits spread across the landscape, from Victoria and New South Wales to the Northern Territory and Western Australia. They ate the countryside clean, destroying vegetation and endangering species like the bilby and bandicoot. Eventually – and if you’re tender hearted about bunnies, stop reading now – the Australians had to take drastic measures. Over the years, during the 20th Century, they have introduced “biological control agents” to impair the rabbits’ fertility, or spread lethal diseases. If this seems extreme, consider the numbers: the initial 24 wild European rabbits introduced in 1859 were estimated to have produced the 1920’s population: 10 billion bunnies. Why “revenge of the rabbits”? The reason they were initially brought to Australia was for the purpose of being hunted.

Good Neighbor Day | E-Neighborhood Advisor

There are many communities where people don't know their neighbors. Familiarity exists among neighbors based on who gets seen most often, but there is very little or no interaction. Good relationships between neighbors can have a positive affect. If you have a real connection with your neighbor, then you know what I mean.

Ever wonder what is considered good neighbor etiquette?

Hello

No, it's not Adele's song. Acknowledge your neighbor when outside with a wave. Say “Hello.” It lets them know you're friendly.

Noise

If you've got music on, or you're in the backyard, be aware of the noise level coming from your property and how it could be impacting your neighbors. That includes the family dog. If you hear them repeatedly barking in the backyard, guess who else hears?

Outside

Simply, keeping the grass cut, yard maintained, and the garage door closed keeps the ambiance and value of the neighborhood.

Drive

Neighborhood streets are not a racetrack or freeway. Enter with ease and low-level stereo base so the neighborhood doesn't vibrate.

Enjoy Good Neighbor Day on September 28th

Of course these are ideas for daily living. What can you do to be a good neighbor on Good Neighbor Day?

Great Meals / Busy Lives | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Life is in full momentum now with school, work, clubs, sports, and other social activities. This means our days and many evenings get packed with activity. With all that is happening, how are your mealtimes going?

Drive-thru restaurants and pre-packaged meals are certainly convenient, but they come with negative impacts, including the drain on our pocket book. Here are three ways to curb the expense and save time.

A little planning goes a long way.

Taking a bit of extra time to plan, one day can save a lot of time over coming days. There are different ways people plan out their meals. Some start with theme days - Mexican Monday, Fishy Friday, Leftover Saturday, and Casserole Sunday – to narrow down meal choices. Others decide meals based on sales and coupons. The main thing here is planning out meals early for the entire week or month.

Prepare ahead of time.

In many households, Sunday afternoon is dedicated to lunch and dinner prep for the week.This includes cleaning and chopping vegetables, portioning out food items into containers in the fridge, and precooking early stages of the meal preparations so that everything can quickly and easily come together at mealtime.

Part of planning and preparation may include making extra for dinner so that leftovers become lunch or dinner later in the week. This is especially beneficial on nights when the time between work and extra-curricular activities is more limited.

Cook in one pot.

This method is great when done in a crockpot, because when you use a slow cooker the meal cooks while you’re at work or handling other time pressing activities in the day. Simply add all the contents in the morning and when you come back at the end of the day dinner is ready. There’s an array of sizes, features, and options for crockpots. So hopefully this article will help you narrow that down.

When life gets busy, choosing convenience over home cooked can be easier. I don’t know about you, but I prefer a home cooked meal. These tips help turn home cooked into convenience.
