Since that occurred, seven years had passed, and the population have grown as well; the families are bigger which make more people travel, eat and enjoy this Holiday with their relatives and friends. For some people it represents one of many Christians teaching that Jesus though us as be thankful for everything we have, other remain themselves at the first Thanksgiving which took place in Plymouth Colony, in present-day Massachusetts, in 1621. Not matter the reason, everyone who plain a Thanksgiving dinner, want it to be enjoyable, cheap and tasty, I’ll explain you how by choosing, costing, and prepping your dinner.

The best part of this holiday is the eating part. This holiday is a great time for many foodies because of the different times of food.

...The annual Turkey Trot has been an event that Western New Yorker’s have been participating in since 1896. The Turkey Trot has become a tradition that the YMCA has created for people to donate to YMCA children's services and programs. These programs and services have helped many struggling families during the holidays and summers. Donated food items have made it possible for families to feed their children and even send them to school. Food items are sent to the Food Bank of Western New York, where thousands of meals are distributed to families in the local and somewhat more distant parts of the state. One thing I hadn't thought of when I signing up for the annual YMCA Turkey Trot was the amount of effort most in the race put into training. As many as 3,000 to 6,000 runners participate in the race every year, a record was set at the 100th anniversary of the race, held in 1995. The YMCA Turkey Trot set a record of 6,003 runners registered and nearly 91 percent of those registered runners finished the race. Now, that record has been shattered as the numbers have climbed to almost 14,000 participants. The 8 kilometer race expands throughout the heart of Buffalo using Delaware Avenue as its course. Although most people seemed to be amateur runners, including myself, many also seemed to be more or less, masters. One might say they were professional runners. I thought I would be able to keep up with most people. As the race began, I noticed the dedication the participants had. Family...

...To Give is to Love Close your eyes. Take in a long, deep breath and listen attentively. What do you smell? What do you hear? I smell the coldness of the Christmas air that hangs like a fragrant, saccharine flower. Coldness that seems to tickle my nerves and cause me to smile. I hear the soft singing of little children parading through the streets, giving out simple joys for onlookers and passers-by. I take a walk down the street and what captivatingly caught my eye is this. A little child, not older than three years old, was taking off her jacket to offer to her shivering mother. She herself was quivering but when her sickly mother started yet again another coughing fit, she couldn’t take it any longer and took off her all too small jacket and offered it, against her mother’s disapprovals. Both mother and child were beggars, living off on alms handed out to them. They lived on the street by the church corner and waited for some sort of miracle to happen. That simple gesture of warmth and caring was enough to set my heart to a shudder. This child indeed holds within her the true and real essence of generosity in such a cold and unkind time. The true essence of Christmas and giving is not found under the roof of a very wealthy family who shower their spoiled kids with toys and gadgets while they are away at work, it is found under a “nipa” roof of a complete family sitting in front of the table, sipping soup, looking into each others eyes, ready to offer their bowls...

...Rise and Fall of Iggy Azalea In the summer of 2014, Iggy Azalea was at the top of the Billboard charts. By summer 2015, with a canceled tour and a whole lot of drama, the Australian-born rapper is struggling to stay relevant. What went wrong? Below, check out some key moments in Azalea's roller-coaster career. Azalea dominated the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart during the summer of 2014, thanks to two hit songs: "Fancy," off her debut CD, The New Classic; and Ariana Grande's "Problem," on which Azalea provided the rap verse. In May of that year, Azalea became the first artist since the Beatles to have their first two hits rank number one and two simultaneously when "Fancy" and "Problem" took the top two spots. Fancy would remain at number one for seven consecutive weeks, officially making it 2014's Song of the Summer. Azalea faced her first of many public woes in September 2014, when reports broke of a sex tape featuring the Australian-born rapper was being shopped around to numerous places, including the company that distributed Kim Kardashian's now-infamous video. The shopper turned out to be Azalea's ex-boyfriend, Hefe Wine, who also wanted the rights to music she had recorded before hitting it big. Thus began a long, drawn-out legal battle that did not reach a settlement until July 2015. According to multiple reports, Azalea agreed to pay Wine a miniscule sum of money, worth less than a Honda Accord. As "Fancy" ascended to the top of the charts, Iggy Azalea began to receive...

...Black Friday, the Retail Holiday Black Friday is the biggest shopping day in the United States of America. Forget about Thanksgiving, Black Friday is the truly notable holiday for a lot of shoppers. In this essay, I am going to discuss about how Black Friday began and how it is changing, how business make business on that day, the pricing strategies and competition, and the implications for employees. It is hard to tell when the day after Thanksgiving became a retail behemoth, but it probably started on late 19th century. At that time, department stores such as Macy and Eaton sponsored the holiday parades. These parades gave stores an opportunity to begin advertising holiday sales. This turned into a result in a lot of people going shopping after the parades were over. It wasn’t called Black Friday until 1966. Originally in Philadelphia, on the shopping day after Thanksgiving, it was a massive traffic jams and over-crowded sidewalks as the downtown stores are mobbed from opening to closing. So, Philadelphia police and bus drivers call it "Black Friday". I think Black Friday makes good business sense to major retailers. It brings a good opportunity to retailers to sale their products. It is a good time for major retailers to make profits. But, on the other hand, I think Black Friday could hurt small or local business. It is hard for small or local retailers to compete with major retailers like Walmart or Target. Major retailers have a variety of things on sale on Black...

...According to the dictionary, discipline is: Training that is expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior, especially training that produces moral or mental improvement. Controlled behavior resulting from disciplinary training. A systematic method to obtain obedience. A state of order based upon submission to rules and authority. To train by instruction and control. Discipline is a learned behavior. It is much more than blind obedience and punishment. Rather, it is a state of order and obedience that is a result of regulations and orders. You must be disciplined to achieve your goals. Discipline is training that develops, molds, strengthens, or perfects mental faculties and character. It involves placing group goals above your own, being willing to accept orders from higher authority, and carrying out those orders effectively. Part of the job of a cadet is to make their fellow cadets aware of the purpose and meaning of discipline. Types of Discipline. Self Discipline. Self discipline is a willing and instinctive sense of responsibility that leads you to know what needs to be done. Getting to work on time, knowing the job, setting priorities, and denying personal preferences for more important ones all measure how self disciplined you are. This is the highest order of all disciplines because it springs from the values you use to regulate and control your actions. The ideal situation is to motivate cadets to willingly discipline themselves, and exercise...

...throughout the years until it was declared an official holiday by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. (Staff) This holiday is generally celebrated by people who live in North America. These people generally span across a wide range of cultures, and the actual celebration may vary from family to family. A Thanksgiving Day celebration normally consists of a group of family or friends, or mix of both who gather together for a large dinner and companionship. One custom people follow is gathering together. Thanksgiving is a time to appreciate and spend time with your loved ones, whomever they may be. Another custom is the president’s annual turkey pardon, where he “pardons” one or two turkeys from becoming a Thanksgiving meal. The Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade is also a customary tradition. It runs in New York and is broadcasted live on National Television every year. One custom that is celebrated by about 90% of Americans is the cooking of a large Turkey as the main dish for the celebratory meal.(Staff) The cultural traditions for this Holiday have evolved over time and will most likely continue to evolve throughout the years so I do not believe that a change impacts the holiday or traditions negatively. The most important entrée served at the Thanksgiving meal is the turkey. The Turkey is the national bird of North America and became tradition when the Wampanoag’s gifted one to the Plymouth colonists during the first Thanksgiving. (Staff) To safely prepare a turkey, one must ensure that they...
