World Aids Day, Continuing The Fight For A Cure – #worldaidsday

AIDS_ribbon-08.jpg

World AIDS Day is celebrated around the world on December 1st each year. It has become one of the most recognized international health days and a key opportunity to raise awareness, commemorate those who have passed on, and celebrate victories, such as increased access to treatment and prevention services.

UNAIDS took the lead on campaigning for World AIDS Day from its creation until 2004. From 2004 onwards the World AIDS Campaign’s Global Steering Committee began selecting a theme for World AIDS Day in consultation with civil society, organisations and government agencies involved in the AIDS response.

It’s now December. One month left of 2017. Lets finish this year off on some good notes.

Something About Taxes

I am not an expert on taxes but if a tax plan doesn’t pay for itself or at least comes out balanced then perhaps it shouldn’t be forced upon the people who will have to pay for it. Here’s a hint, its not the billionaires or the super millionaires, it will be people who are of middle class and limited means. I am not certain anyone in Washington knows what they are doing.

I did call my senators to express my opinion and I hope it helps to persuade them but I am not holding my breath since they are a part of the problem.

Six Word Story

Believe in the possibility that’s you.

Thursday, November 30

It’s the last day of the month. With the help of some hot coffee it will be a good one. Let’s power through. Have a great day everyone.

“Crisis on Earth-X” is the fourth annual Arrowverse crossover event, featuring episodes of the live-action television series Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow on The CW. The crossover began on November 27, 2017 with Supergirl and Arrow, and concluded on November 28 with The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. “Crisis on Earth-X” sees Barry Allen and Iris West’s friends come to Central City for their wedding, only to be interrupted when villains from Earth-X disrupt the proceedings.

I am a huge geek and this TV crossover is something I really enjoyed. The action, effects and production values were terrific. Outstanding acting by all the DC Comics TV heroes were great! I also appreciate the way the actors played both hero and villain in this story. I could go for this sort of thing again.
