Giving is Good for Your Mental Health
According to the March 29, 2014 Sunday New York Times article Why Fund-Raising Is Fun by Arthur C. Brooks, donating money and time can improve a donor’s sense of well-being! 

“Why? Charitable giving improves what psychologists call “self-efficacy,” one’s belief that one is capable of handling a situation and bringing about a desired outcome. When people give their time or money to a cause they believe in, they become problem solvers. Problem solvers are happier than bystanders and victims of circumstance.”

The power of the problem solver concept is fundamental in both BookEnds’ fundraising efforts and our programs.  Our student leaders, who conduct the BookDrives, are introduced to BookEnds work at a kickoff event where they are exposed to the issue of unequal book access for students. They are asked to find a solution to this issue – and they always do – a BookDrive!   Our methodology was developed in order to enhance the positive and empowering aspects of giving in children, so they carry that lesson into adulthood.

We also want our adult donors to receive this message as well.  We share good news stories as well as opportunities for donors to attend book sortings and deliveries, in order for them to see the actual impact their dollars are making.  People become so moved when they see this.

All of our methods were developed instinctively, based on our experience with children and donors.  But now that there is science supporting our methods – our message will be clear:  Support BookEnds – it’s good for your mental health!

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. game apps for android

Sunday is the unofficial biggest day in auto racing. All three of the world's major circuits will be on the track for Memorial Day weekend in the United States with the Monaco Grand Prix, Coca Cola 600 in Charlotte and, of course, the Indianapolis 500.
 
After a scary scene at the qualifying last week with Sebastien Bourdais suffering a broken pelvis and right hip, Sunday's race is still shaping up to be a great one. Bourdais was pacing to take the pole, but after the terrifying wreck, that honor goes to Scott Dixon, who will start from the pole position for the third time in his career.

Ramsey clearly had prepared a strong battle strategy. He had the numbers to lead the attack, but he didn’t recklessly waste away his troops. He directed the necessary amount of men into battle at the correct time; First he used the archers and a small number of men to lure Jon’s army into the battlefield. When everyone was distracted during the heat of the battle, he sent the rest of his troops to surround them.
 
He organized them in a position that would not only keep the men protected but also allow them to attack the enemy effectively. He created a battle strategy that didn’t require his soldiers to be strong swordsmen. Instead, he combined their collective strength, and reduced the effort to mere pushing. Cutting off the heads of men and hurting their bodies requires tremendous amount of individual strength. Suffocating them? Not so much.

I hope you found this list helpful and that you adopt at least some of these tips. In fact, these are good ideas regardless of whether you’re enduring a drought. Water is a misunderstood commodity that is subject to many market distortions as well as the tragedy of the commons. People tend to think of water the same way they think of oxygen: it’s necessary for life and should be free. But unlike air, water is more available in some places than in others, and almost all of us rely on some government infrastructure to get our water. Most people never even see a water bill– it’s paid by the landlord, the condo association, the office, the gym, etc. And those who do have some appreciation for the consumer cost of water may not realize how much that cost is subject to government subsidies. (This is particularly true of California’s farmers who use 80% of our water while contributing to just 2% of our economy.) Perhaps if we all had a better idea of the true cost of water– and had to bear more of it– then we might be less wasteful and make more of an effort to conserve it.
