Labor Day

 

Labor Day in the United States is a holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September.  It is a celebration of the American labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers.

 

The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday: A street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and spirit of the trade and labor organizations," followed by a 

festival for the workers and their families.  This became the pattern for Labor Day celebrations. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the civil significance of the holiday.

 

This holiday often marks the end of the traditional summer season (although summer doesn't officially end until September 21).


SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT
Brandywine Smile Center
Family Dentistry in Glen Mills

 

Are you looking for a dentist that offers day and evening hours?  Wouldn't it be nice if the dentist runs on time and has complimentary coffee service in the reception area?  And how would you like a dental practice that participates with most major dental plans and offers easy financing? What if the dentists were seasoned professionals with over 20 years' experience? That's who we are. Dr. Stephanie McGann and Dr. Marie Scott have been practicing together at the Brandywine Smile Center since 1994.   We are trained in advanced laser dental procedures, state-of-the-art technology and experienced with all aspects of cosmetic and implant dentistry


Brandywine Smile Center has been featured on an episode of America's Best, Philadelphia.  

Dr. Scott and Dr. McGann have been on the cover of Suburban Life Magazine and most recently have

been awarded the prestigious fellowship in the International College of Dentistry.  Don't just listen to us, check us out on Facebook or visit our website and read what our patients have to say.

The Winning Numbers

 

They won't give you a cash payout, but you will get something better: A longer healthier life.

 

2 hours -  you can safely watch TV each day. More hours increase triglycerides in your blood and lower good cholesterol, which can harm your heart.

 

7+ ideal daily servings of fruits and vegetables. The 

extra servings can reduce your risk of early death by 42%, according to a British study.

 

60 to 100 heartbeats per minute at rest. A gain of 

10 beats per minute over normal increases your risk 

of dying from heart disease by 10 to 18 percent, 

a new study finds. 

 

7 hours of sleep per night you need to control weight. Healthy people who slept five or fewer hours per night were 50% more likely to become obese compared with those who get a full night's rest. 

 

1,500 maximum amount of sodium, in milligrams, an average adult should consume daily. Most of it comes

from processed foods, so substitute fresh whole foods to lower blood pressure.

 

1.2 healthiest ratio waist to height. A larger waist

increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, a cluster 

of factors including high blood pressure and high

cholesterol, which raises the chances of heart 

disease and stroke.

 

Anne in the Kitchen

This recipe is as quick to make as it was to type!  It was shared with me by my sister Nancy, who is always ready to serve people a wonderful meal at the drop of a hat.  If you eat shrimp, sometimes have guests who show up for dinner, and you don't want to kill yourself cooking, here is a great dish you can have on the table in very few minutes.  It is always good to have a pound or two of shrimp in the freezer, and if you only have one pound, throw some pasta in a pot to serve on the side and toss it with yet more fresh garlic and some freshly grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, and you are home.

 

On the subject of shrimp and seafood, you can check out Monterey Bay Aquarium's educational website www.seafoodwatch.com to determine what is considered their "best choice" on what shrimp (and ALL seafood) to avoid or choose.  There is also a mobile app you can download for when you are actually shopping!   It is quite an education, and it will help you to be a wiser consumer.  I thought all Asian farm-raised seafood was bad--I was wrong.   Chilean sea bass, on the other hand, is never a good choice, because populations are being wiped out from overfishing. Another reason is apparently high mercury content.  I would choose halibut instead. Sooo good!

ALONG THE WELCOME TRAIL

 

Once upon a time, we kept our porch lights on. We opened the door even if we didn't know who rang the bell. And we could always leave the back door unlocked during the day.  People stopped by without an "appointment." We had lemonade or hot coffee ready when they did!  Many things have changed in our digital, mobile, double-income world.  We're way busier.  And central air, garage-door openers, and 24-7 cable news have also affected our culture.   It's why we Welcome Neighbor greeters continue to do a personal welcome visit, human to human. Time spent WITH someone is a different experience from a text, an email, a "Like," or a "Great pic" comment.

SMALL BUSINESS TIP OF THE MONTH:

Two Marketing "Must"s to remember  


 
1. You must be committed. Commit the money and leave it alone. Plant the seeds that will grow later. 


2. You must be confident. Most marketing plans take at least 60 - 90 days to produce even minimum results. Be patient, your efforts will pay off in the long run.
