Celebrate Human Rights Day
History of Human Rights Day
Human Rights Day was established in 1948, and ever since that auspicious day it has stood as the first major stride forward in ensuring that the rights of every human across the globe are protected. From the most basic human needs such as food, shelter, and water, all the way up to access to free and uncensored information, such has been the goals and ambitions laid out that day.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was a shout across the world by the leading countries in the world, stating loud and clear that no matter where we live, what we believe, or how we love, we are each individually deserving of the most basic fundaments of human needs. Every year Human Rights Day marks conferences around the world dedicated to ensuring that these ideals are pursued, and that the basic Human Rights of every person is made a priority in the global theater.
With all that free time at home, some people have been getting up to some pretty strange yet fun projects.

DAILY SQU-EEK
If You Were Born Today, December 10
You are a person with strong convictions, but your morals are unusual or stretched. You are courageous, very sincere, and enjoy some level of risk-taking in your everyday life. You need to find a job that you love, for your work means so much to you. A solutions person, you love to solve problems--yours but especially others'. Still, you have some escapist tendencies. In others, you look for practical people with good, basic values and work ethic. You are very true to the ones you love. Famous people born today:
1394 James I, King of Scotland (1406-37), born in Dunfermline Palace, Scotland (d. 1437)
1815 Ada Lovelace, English mathematician considered the first computer programmer, born in London (d. 1852)
1830 Emily Dickinson, American poet (Collected Poems), born in Amherst, Massachusetts (d. 1886)
1891 leonie "Nelly" Sachs, German Swedish poet and Playwright (O the Chimneys - Nobel Prize for Literature 1966), born in Berlin, Germany (d. 1970)

(Not So) Totally Useless Facts of The Day:
Abraham Lincoln, famed President, famed wrestler? That is correct. The 16th President of the United States was also an accomplished wrestler who is in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Allegedly he had a record off 299 wins with only one defeat.
President Herbert Hoover and his wife Lou Henry spoke their own secret language while they were in the White House. Well, it wasn’t so much a secret language as it was a foreign language. They both were fluent in Chinese and would speak it while in the White House. This was done just in case there were any eavesdroppers looming around.
They are brainless! They are also boneless and heartless. Jellyfish also have no central nervous system. Yet they are very dangerous and very poisonous and can kill you instantly.2.1830 -
TODAY: In 1830, poet Emily Dickinson, seen here with Kate Scott Turner Anthon in a recently discovered daguerreotype, is born. (Though not 100 percent, it is very likely her!)
3.Coronavirus Style by Sylvia, CAN DO CorrespondentA brief but potentiallly happy update on Co-VID
Stats were released yesterday about the statistically high prevalence of Co-VID amongst our local black and southeast Asian population in a bedroom community in Southern Ontario - close to 83%.
Studies by the alternative health sector had looked at the global data on Co-VID deaths, which skyrocket among those populations who have dark skin (which not only blocks UV radiation but also Vitamin D levels), especially in those cultures where most of the body is covered and who now live in northern latitudes. A truly concerned medical community would look into this research, and advise all of us who do not spend daily time in the sun, to increase our Vitamin D levels to 1,000 IU in conjunction with 100 mg of magnesium citrate or aspartate, for every 25kg of body weight; this as a potential preventive measure. Other deficiencies in Zinc and Quercetin have been noted, both of which are found in organic greens grown in earth that has not been sterilized by chemicals. However, their absorption may be more difficult in the older population depending on the rest of their dietary habits. However, physicians and dietitians are rarely experts in nutritional chemistry, as are nutritionists and alternative health practitioners such as naturopaths.
Several other studies were done globally with Co-VID 19 patients gargling three times daily, with Betadine in water, Listerine, salt water, and plain water. It was found that in that order, the virus had cleared within six to 24 days. It was interesting to note that not one patient in any of these studies died from Co-VID.
For further information, Google Dr. Co-VID for updated reports by physicians who are on the front lines, educators, and researchers. Some are not restricted to share information restricted by national or state policies mandated by the pharmaceutical industry. Some are alternative health practitioners. In some countries, such people may be prevented from speaking openly about natural approaches to illness since the AMA and CMA in North America have no longer mandates to heal, but to monitor and control symptoms with the use of pharmaceuticals. In countries like Mexico and Japan, however, physicians are free to pursue the healing of their patients.

QUOTE
CLEVER
Use pre-shredded potatoes or frozen hash browns instead of grating your potatoes by hand.
Using pre-shredded potatoes (aka hash browns) in the freezer aisle avoids the mess and potential finger slicing of grating.
