HONOURING GRANDPARENTS We've all heard "honour your father and mother," but what about grandparents? In biblical times, the cultural context of honour included grandparents and living ancestors. And why not, since they influenced your parents, who shaped you? Even if yours weren't perfect, you have the power to change that cycle now. Let's cherish the time with our grandparents. Even small gestures can be more meaningful than you know! Find more helpful tips below: https://lnkd.in/g5wmUJ8N

Some interesting facts about St. Patrick’s Day: St. Patrick’s Origin: Despite being the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick was actually born in Britain. He was captured into slavery and taken to Ireland, where he later returned as a Christian missionary. No Snakes in Ireland: The story of St. Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland is a myth. In reality, Ireland has never had any native snake species to begin with. Leprechauns and Fairies: The leprechaun, often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, is derived from Celtic folklore. These ‘small-bodied fellows’ were believed to be fairies and were known for their shoemaking skills. “The Luck of the Irish” is a phrase that originally emerged in America during the gold and silver rush eras, when Irish miners were often successful in their endeavors. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not an old Irish saying but an American one, and it was initially used in a somewhat derogatory way to attribute the Irish miners’ successes to luck rather than their hard work. Over time, the phrase has taken on a more positive connotation, celebrating the Irish for their perceived good fortune and resilience, especially in the face of adversity. Today, it’s commonly used to express good luck and is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

These thoughts are even more important today. Take a second to think about the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions on these founding principles.

Can any of my actuarial or mathematician geeky type friends validate that: “Tens of Millions” is correct - Calling Bullshit (Again) Citing my mates at Google “tens of millions” is a phrase used to mention something huge in number. It could be any number above 10 million & below 100 million Currently 26+ Million in Oz In 2021, there were 315,705 babies born to 311,360 mothers in Australia. Let’s say work on 200k per year for the last 100 years and we get tens of millions of babies not boat people As of 2023, Australia's net overseas migration was 152.2 thousand people. In the 50s Agreements were reached with Britain, some European countries and with the International Refugee Organisation to encourage migrants, including displaced persons from war-torn Europe. By 1950, almost 200,000 people had arrived We would have to have this same number each and every year to get 2 million per decade ( and we didn’t ) them every decade for 7 decades gets us to 14 million - I guess if that were true ( but its just sensational maths ) Few of Craig’s teams own stats below Happy to be corrected as I was really bad at Maths ( Year 10 was the best five years of my life !) https://lnkd.in/gt3ryznT

Federal holidays, like today, are much more than a paid day off. Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. As we reflect on the meaning of this day, it is important to acknowledge the many freedoms we have in modern-day society. These include, but are not limited to: the freedom to pursue education the freedom to choose what career to pursue the freedom to travel and live in different towns, states, and countries the freedom to have access to food around every corner We all experience these freedoms to different degrees. That is why it is important to express gratitude for what we have each and every day. So as many people enjoy their day off today, take some time to reflect on all the freedom and privilege we experience.
