Going Down To The Farm
This weekend there will be an annual concert held to raise funds for farmers called Farm Aid. In the US, there are 2 million farms in operation across the country. 98% of them are family owned and operated. The farming industry hires 965,000 workers, bringing in 451 billion dollars a year. Farmers Markets have been around for centuries, as a way for farmers to sell their goods directly to consumers. Today, Farmers Markets are still just as profitable, as 19,000 farmers report this is the only way they sell their produce to people who visit these locations every year. When attending a Farmers Market, here is a way to make the most of your trip.

I Pronounce Thee.... Many of us know about Cleopatra and her love affairs with Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. Or, we have some knowledge of the gorgeous queens Nefretit and Nefretari and their marriages to powerful pharaohs. We are familiar with the rich and powerful figures of ancient Egypt, much as we are with the lives of the same demographic today.

ESG is the Necessary Evil, and the Markets and Entrepreneurs are Taking Full Advantage
A few months ago, I published a piece arguing that ESG will become the new bottom line. This is not a politically motivated statement, and I don’t fully agree with the ESG approach. I do believe however, it is time to change, and it is time for executives, entrepreneurs, and investors to appreciate we are at an economic and societal transition point. This transition will force us to engage the consumer base more dynamically, while placing greater efforts to decarbonize our business operations. These issues are both good for business and good for society provided companies and investors are willing to take risk and change. Capitalism models should be leveraged to create profits while absorbing the societal problem-solving more systematically. Please note that I have adopted a rather broad definition of ESG in my analysis to ensure I capture the sustainability, clean tech, and climate risk investment trends.

War is Destroying Our Planet
Environmental damage and wars exist in a positive feedback loop. As resources dwindle, more conflicts emerge. As conflicts take place, more natural resources are rendered useless. With each cycle, the limited availability of resources and the frequency of war push more towards extremes.

Did our ancestors just learn to farm when the pyramids were built in ancient Egypt? Sanxingdui changed the perception after its introduction
China, as one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, has always been the pride of the nation. At the same time, the Chinese civilization, which has been considered to have originated in the Yellow River basin, is also the only ancient civilization that has survived to this day. With such a heavy and glorious historical accumulation, it also has a heavy historical responsibility and also has to accept the tests and questions from different people around the world.

The epidemic is improving.
As the new epidemic improves, the Canadian federal government is considering opening up the country completely by eliminating vaccine requirements and random testing for entry. This means that it will be easier for Chinese family and friends to visit their relatives in Canada.

What Happens if Earth Disappears?
It’s a terrifying thought, but one that may not be so far-fetched after all. There are some pretty convincing arguments out there suggesting that our planet may not be here forever. In fact, it could cease to exist at any point in the foreseeable future. That begs the question: what would happen if Earth vanished tomorrow? What if it didn’t just disappear as a result of some cataclysmic event, but ceased to exist entirely? This article will explore what might happen if Earth disappeared tomorrow and why this isn’t as unlikely as you might think. Read on to discover more and get your brain buzzing with ideas!

Seasonal Depression
Seasons are changing this time of the year is hard for many people like myself dealing with severe depression. For two years I didn't have to deal with this problem changing of seasons. I was living in Ghana I've always been able to avoid the seasonal blues. Which is easy when you're less than 20-30 minutes from a beach or a body of water where you can sit and watch the waves.

Things Are Getting Better
Sometimes, when I suggest that things will get better in the world, people laugh or get mad, pointing out all evidence to the contrary. For me, it’s easy to believe, because I trust the Archangels completely when they tell me this, but for those who don’t have that particular blessing, I asked the Angels to give me some current and upcoming signs to look for to give us all hope. The following is what they told me.

Talking and laughing is good on the whole
Therefore, it is inevitable that there is estrangement, criticism and dislike among people, and even because of disgust, we are not willing to understand each other. Of course, this is a mental activity in people's minds, and no one will directly tell each other, "I hate you."

Respect the state of each human nature in its time and space
# 91 philosophy # 91 human nature # 1 time and space # on 79 human nature Every human nature comes from its unique time and space, and people's thinking, emotion and behavior are also subject to this. Therefore, each human nature is unique, and each human nature is reasonable in its specific time and space. Once human nature is formed, it is almost unchangeable. People who can shake human nature are definitely people with strong willpower. Most of the time, when people come together, there are a variety of boredom, complaint, ridicule, dislike, hatred, joy, and so on. We are always more dissatisfied with others than satisfied with them, and it is always difficult to accept his kind of human nature.
