In The News:
- National Love is Kind Day encourages you to become aware of how you are treating people, how people are treating you, and how you can become emboldened, supported, and empowered to lead the joyful and productive life you deserve. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails
- Target to close on thanksgiving. Last week, Walmart announced its decision to stay closed on Thanksgiving. In following… Target has announced that it will not be open on Thanksgiving as well. Avoiding big crowds and pushy people trying to get deals is a big concern in the season of COVID-19. In a statement, Target CEO Brian Cornell said, "This year more than ever, a joyful holiday will be inseparable from a safe one, and we’re continuing to adjust our plans to deliver ease, value and the joy of the season in a way that only Target can." It’s worth noting that Target will begin offering its biggest deals online and in stores starting in October.
- Noses #1 for Covid. Have you seen those people who are wearing a mask, but not really? They have it on, but it’s covering only their mouth. Big mistake. That’s because scientific research (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) has found that COVID-19 infects your nose first, using it as an entry point to the rest of your body. So, people who don’t cover their nose with their mask risk exposing their most infectious organ to others, and increase their own chances of contracting COVID-19, the disease the virus causes.
- Delta turns flight around. Remember when your dad would threaten to turn the car around if you didn't behave? That's what Delta Airlines did last week after two passengers refused to wear a facemask. According to reports, the Atlanta-bound flight turned around in mid-air after two passengers were "non-compliant with crew instructions". After landing in Detroit, the flight took off again and arrived safely at its destination after a delay. Virtually every airline now requires all passengers to wear facemasks on board. Delta requires a 'virtual medical evaluation' for any passenger claiming to have a health condition that prevents them from wearing a mask.
- McDonalds to require Masks. McDonald’s announced over the weekend that it will require customers to wear face coverings when entering its U.S. locations starting Saturday (August 1). The fast food giant said employees and customers are already required to wear face coverings at almost 82% of its restaurants as a result of state or local rules.

- Practicing Musical Instruments. Practicing a musical instrument is good for your mental health. A poll of adults who play an instrument found a huge 89 percent think playing music keeps them mentally balanced. More than a quarter report a ‘sense of clarity’ when practicing their instrument of choice, while 56 percent feel a deep sense of relaxation. And 36 percent even said playing music gives them a sense of purpose in life while they’re playing.
- Cartwheel Get-away. A Florida man was caught on camera trying to evade arrest — by cartwheeling away from the police. Video show the gymnastics enthusiast blocking the path of a truck in Orlando by doing a flip in the middle of the road. Officers took him down for apparently blocking traffic, but the man was able to wiggle out of their grasp. He then launched into a cartwheel — but didn’t get very far.
- Thumb slam catches thief. When a man with a knife threatened her, the cashier at a restaurant in Ireland allowed him to reach into the cash drawer — then she slammed it shut on his thumb. As the man screamed in pain she yelled for help. Once there were enough people gathered around she opened the drawer to release him, and he ran off empty-handed. He was arrested a short time later.
- Lost job after declared dead. In Romania, a man returned from a two week vacation to find out he lost his job at a wine-bottling company — because he had been declared dead. His bosses said it was a computer error and they were glad he wasn’t dead, but he couldn’t have his job back because they had already replaced him.
