tree branches and is a temporary open building. Christmas is another time of celebration. For Chileans‚ Christmas time is in the summer‚ but they still do some of the things people do here in America. One of these things is their Santa – Viejito Pascuero or Old man Christmas. Viejito Pascuero delivers the gifts in a sleigh and either enters the house through the chimney or a window. Most of them also remember that Christmas is to celebrate Christ. Carols will be sung and the Bible story about Jesus’

PASTOR (PART 3) (THE DECEPTIONS OF CHRISTMAS) Christmas has been with us for a very long time‚ but NOT as long as some think. Many mistakenly believe that the Christian churches have been celebrating Christmas since the church started on the Day of Pentecost. The truth is‚ for the first 400 - 500 years of Christianity there is no mention made of a celebration centering around the "birth" of Jesus. The early church DID NOT observe what we know today as Christmas. It wasn’t until well into the 4th

Lack of Self-Belief Lack of belief in one’s own abilities is also a common problem in goal setting. Let’s face it; if you really believed you could achieve your goal‚ you probably would have done it already! (Unless your goal is a brand new one‚ of course. But most people set the same goals multiple times before they actually achieve them.) How can you tell if you don’t have a strong belief in yourself? Probably the most telling clue is that you’ll hesitate when it comes to

The song choice for this band seems very appropriate for the level of players in the ensemble. I also enjoyed the Christmas medley that they played with the concert being close to Christmas. The band had very good balance. They had a good foundation with the low brass and woodwinds. The upper woodwinds were not shrill sounding and blend very nicely into the foundation the lower instruments set for them. The rhythms were together and precise. They were able to switch between staccato and legato seamlessly

Absolute Poverty: Right from the 19th century‚ some researchers are trying to fix some yardstick for measuring poverty in precise terms. Ideally speaking such a yardstick would help us establish a fixed level of poverty‚ known as “poverty line” below which poverty begins and above which it ends. Such a yardstick is believed to be universal in character and would be applicable to all the societies. This concept of poverty is known as “absolute poverty”. Absolute poverty is often known as

Right now‚ I’d say that most of the homogeneity appeal for Carol has faded away and been replaced by a misattribution of arousal. The cause of this is an increasing involvement of Carol in action-packed‚ gripping moments of the show and a diminishing resemblance of Carol to her audience. In season 1‚ Carol was a demure‚ middle-aged woman. She was a survivor of domestic violence‚ appealing to those who suffered be it through direct victimization‚ being a bystander‚ or knowing someone who was either

Global Poverty To be born into poverty without a choice is possibly one of the greatest misfortunes that any person can be victimized with. According to Howard Hubbard author of Fighting Poverty to Build Peace‚ “An estimated 1.4 billion people live in extreme poverty‚ defined as living on less than $1.25 a day.” It leaves a person with a huge challenge of survival and an extremely difficult task of creating a better future for themselves.
