End of feng shui, onto the other parts:
Shing, a designer and artist creates account by the 13th, full moon. Lost 60% in stock.
Arch Crawford, financial consultant and astrologer. He calls it. He looks at stars and predicted 1987 market crash and 2008 crash.
Theatres have lots of superstitions. They can not say Macbeth out loud.
Superstitions can be based on obsessive compulsive disorder.
This week's theme is about getting enough sleep. I only have enough articles for 2 blog posts:
"Four things to know about sleep and your health"/ "Chasing the dream of a good night’s sleep"

My week:
The initiative.
Every month, we are donating to non-profit organizations to plant a tree for each of our customers and employees.
"National Family and Survivors Circle:
In response to the 231 Calls for Justice and the Principles for Change from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, the establishment of the National Family and Survivors Circle (NFSC) was supported by Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs to provide guidance on how to engage families, survivors, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people in the development and implementation of a National Action Plan. The NFSC is comprised of Indigenous women from diverse backgrounds.
“We use our strength and lived expertise as family members of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, and survivors of gender- and race-based violence to advocate for the voices and expertise of families and survivors to be centred in the National Action Plan.” —Hilda Anderson-Pyrz, NFSC Chair"
An iconic but controversial symbol of Canadian history and colonialism may soon be seen as a gesture of reconciliation.
The Hudson's Bay Foundation and the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund have announced that from now on, 100 per cent of the net proceeds from the sale of HBC's famed striped wool blankets will provide support for Indigenous cultural, artistic and educational activities through a newly launched initiative called Oshki Wupoowane — The Blanket Fund.
"We will never make profit from this blanket again. All the profits will go back to the Indigenous peoples," Iain Nairn, president and CEO of the Bay, told CBC News this week.
"We're going to get some things right and some things wrong. But I think if we have the right vision, ambition and the right community engagement, then we'll be successful here and continue creating a truth and reconciliation framework — not just for our company, but to lead corporate Canada in that journey."
The Hudson's Bay Foundation — the company's registered charity, which works to address racial inequity in Canada — is providing a $1-million contribution to kick off the official launch.
All funds will be administered by the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund — a charity focused on reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. It's named for Chanie Wenjack, who died in 1966 at age 12 while trying to run away from a residential school, and Gord Downie, the late frontman of the band the Tragically Hip, who told Chanie's story in his multimedia project The Secret Path.

When Tilova Tul arrived at the University of Alberta from Bangladesh last year as a graduate student, she quickly turned to the campus food bank for help.
"I moved here with just two luggages, leaving everything back home," she said.
"It was winter and everything was so expensive."
Tul, who is studying public health, started using the school's food hamper program every few weeks, which provided her with staples such as eggs and rice.
Her husband and three-year-old son have now joined her, meaning there are more mouths to feed. Combine that with inflation and higher living expenses, and money can be tight. Food hampers help fill the gap.
"That makes the grocery costs a little lighter so everything accumulated, that kinda helps," Tul said, who is also a volunteer with the food bank.
Erin O'Neil, executive director of the campus food bank at the University of Alberta, said several hundred new clients have signed on with the program since the start of the school year.
"We're giving out as many hampers per week as we were giving out per month in the 2019-2010 school year," she said.
"Right now, we're giving out close to 180 hampers per week."
The university recently installed five "care cupboards" at several locations on campus.
The custom-made units, which students can access for free, include a fridge, microwave and cupboard, and they are filled with items such as fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese and granola bars. They also carry hygiene and sanitation items.
Back at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, the demand for other initiatives to address food insecurity is growing. The campus food bank recently expanded its free weekly breakfast program to a second campus, and its grocery bus service, which leaves from the city's main campus, is also in demand.
"We have a grocery bus that takes students from this area, which has some of the most expensive grocery stores in the city to further down where there are cheaper and more varied grocery stores," said O'Neil.
"We're doubling that service this year as well and have seen increased demand that's leading to that doubling."

The flurry of increases come as the cost of living soars, with Canada’s annual inflation rate reaching a nearly 40-year high in recent months.
Several provinces have additional pay hikes scheduled over the coming months and years, many in a bid to raise minimum wages to $15 an hour — if they haven’t already reached that benchmark as is the case in Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and the three territories.
