Some of it with a return address from the Internal Revenue Service. Far too many notices that some bills have not been paid. I don’t have “autopay” on for my United States Veterans Affairs notifications for medical prescriptions over due and collecting interest ($1 or so a month) on a less than $15 balance due. Nor do I have “autopay” set up for hospital and other medicals bills originating in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.<\/p>\n
End It Captain!<\/p>\n
Done deal! Ended!<\/p>\n
– – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n Thank You<\/span> NATIONAL TODAY<\/span> for this Holiday.<\/span><\/em> It is your top, number one on your list, of April 30th “Holidays”.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n It is a “Passion” for Patti who just loves seeing young mothers at libraries with youngsters with a armload of books to read! Patti has always loved to read newspapers. Her younger brother, when he was four, asked her one day how she could tell what the words said.\u00a0 She gave him a lesson in phonics on the front page of that newpaper that day.\u00a0 His kindergarten teacher was astounded the first day of his school when she realized he could read! He loved reading and grew up and became an Attorney.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n The Day of the Child, celebrated on April 30<\/em><\/span>, is a nationally known program that promotes the value and healthy habit of reading among all children, regardless of their socioeconomic status and cultural background. It connects kids and their families and introduces them to the world of books, languages, and cultures. It is also known as \u2018El Dia de los Ni\u00f1os\u2019 or\u2019 \u2018El Dia de los Libros\u2019 (Children\u2019s Day or Book Day). The holiday stresses the importance of literacy among children no matter where they come from.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Oh My! There certainly are some “Extremely good and positive” activities in our “mixed up” world!<\/p>\n The day emphasizes the necessity of loving, accepting, and respecting children. Teachers plan a day for their students on this day (or the nearest weekday if it occurs on a weekend), which includes games, music, and food sharing. \u2018Pi\u00f1atas\u2019 (which means \u2018jugs\u2019 or \u2018pots\u2019) are frequently made and broken by youngsters. Lessons are halted for the day in certain schools. Some families also take their children on a day trip. In parks and sports centers, children may participate in unique activities. Families occasionally offer gifts to their children. Children of radio and television hosts appear on their parents\u2019 shows, which are often themed with children\u2019s entertainment for the day \u2014 more like a de facto Take Your Children to Work Day in the media industry.<\/p>\n The original Children\u2019s Day was observed on May 8 in Tantoyuca, Veracruz, but it was altered in 1925 by President Lvaro Obreg\u00f3n after the country ratified the Geneva Conventions and began to care for children devastated by World War I. The League of Nations then issued the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child on November 26, 1924, acknowledging that children are the ones most affected by war occurrences.<\/p>\n The United Nations proposed that the world celebrate Children\u2019s Day on November 20. There was one problem though \u2014 the day fell on Revolution Day in Mexico. So April 30 was chosen to avoid the celebrations on May 1 (Labor Day) and Cinco de Mayo (The Day of the Battle of Puebla).<\/p>\n According to statistics, about 45 million Americans cannot read beyond the capacity of a fifth grader.<\/p>\n Children learn almost 300 more words when they reach the age of two if their mothers often speak to them.<\/p>\n Books intended for kids contain 50% more words they won\u2019t encounter in everyday conversation, or by watching T.V. or listening to the radio.<\/p>\n About 61% of low-income families can\u2019t give their children books to read at home.<\/p>\n About 80% of children in economically challenged communities lose their reading skills while they\u2019re in their summer break owing to a lack of access to books.<\/p>\n Here you go!
