Considerations for Inclusive Holiday and Observances
CONSIDERATIONS FOR INCLUSIVE HOLIDAY AND OBSERVANCES Holiday celebrations are an excellent opportunity to provide a window into a culture or understand more about a group of people, as well as reinforce the diversity of all people’s experiences. Students can engage in rich educational experiences by reading about, researching and experiencing holidays. In order to ensure that holidays and observances are truly educational, they also need to be inclusive and respectful. Below are some important considerations when planning holiday observances in your classroom or school. CONSIDER YOUR STUDENTS Consider the composition of your classroom and who celebrates which holidays. You might think differently about how you approach a holiday if no one in your class observes that day, only a few do or the majority of students do. Do not assume all students of a certain background know about and are interested in talking about a particular holiday and be careful not to place students in the position of being the “authority” or main possessor of knowledge about a holiday’s history and customs. For example, you can’t assume that an Asian American student is familiar with the origins of Lunar New Year or that every one of the Jewish faith recognizes Passover in the same way. Some students (or families) may want to share knowledge around a holiday, and you may want to let them take the lead. Remember, they are speaking from their own experience and it can be helpful to introduce any student presentations with the explanation that there is diversity in the ways people within a group observe different holidays and that this student will be sharing his/her unique way of observing it. -

Halloween Should Be Spooky, Not Scary! Governor Cuomo Asks for Your Help to Make Sure Everyone Has a Healthy and Safe Halloween
Halloween should be spooky, not scary! Governor Cuomo asks for your help to make sure everyone has a healthy and safe Halloween. Halloween celebrations and activities, including trick-or-treating, can be filled with fun, but must be done in a safe way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The best way to celebrate Halloween this year is to have fun with the people who live in your household. Decorating your house or apartment, decorating and carving pumpkins, playing Halloween-themed games, watching spooky movies, and trick-or-treating through your house or in a backyard scavenger hunt are all fun and healthy ways to celebrate during this time. Creative ways to celebrate more safely: • Organize a virtual Halloween costume party with costumes and games. • Have a neighborhood car parade or vehicle caravan where families show off their costumes while staying socially distanced and remaining in their cars. • In cities or apartment buildings, communities can come together to trick-or-treat around the block or other outdoor spaces so kids and families aren’t tempted to trick-or-treat inside – building residents & businesses can contribute treats that are individually wrapped and placed on a table(s) outside of the front door of the building, or in the other outdoor space for grab and go trick-or-treating. • Make this year even more special and consider non-candy Halloween treats that your trick- or-treaters will love, such as spooky or glittery stickers, magnets, temporary tattoos, pencils/ erasers, bookmarks, glow sticks, or mini notepads. • Create a home or neighborhood scavenger hunt where parents or guardians give their kids candy when they find each “clue.” • Go all out to decorate your house this year – have a neighborhood contest for the best decorated house. -

Children and the Economics of Christmas Gift-Giving
Applied Economics Letters, 1995, 2, 295–297 Children and the economics of Christmas gift-giving CAR OL HORT ON T RE M B L AY* and VIC T OR J. T R E M BL AY * Oregon State University, Department of Economics, Ballard Extension Hall 303, Corvallis, OR 97331-3612, USA Received 22 March 1995 In spite of its importance to the retail sector, there has been relatively little research on the economics of Christmas Season gift-giving. The one exception is Waldfogel (1993), The Deadweight loss of Christmas, American Economic Review, 83, 1328–1336, who found a substantial amount of deadweight loss associated with Christmas gift-giving. Here it is shown that the Waldfogel study is incomplete and alternative models of consumer choice theory which better explain Christmas gift-giving are identified. Although the standard neoclassical and altruistic models predict no relationship between the population of children and per capita Christmas spending, a model is developed that includes non-pecuniary externalities and predicts that children have a positive impact on Christmas gift-giving. This prediction is supported by empirical evidence. I. I NT R ODUC T ION II . T HE E C ONOM IC S OF GI F T- GI VIN G Holiday or Christmas season gift-giving is very important to The economics of gift-giving is rather elementary in the neoclassical the retail sector of the economy.1 For example, US retailers world found in most intermediate textbooks.

History of Halloween
History of Halloween History of Halloween By ReadWorks Makayla gently placed her black witch’s hat on top of her black curls as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her mom had painted her skin green and outlined her eyes in purple paint. She wore tall, black boots underneath a long, purple dress. It was October 31st, and she was ready for trick‐or‐treating on Halloween night. “Makayyyla!” her mom called out from downstairs. Makayla’s two friends, Colden and Porter, had arrived. Colden stood in the doorway, his costume blowing in the wind. A white sheet hung over his head, and his eyes peered out from two cut‐out holes. Porter decided to dress like his favorite superhero, Batman. A black mask covered his face and a long cape trailed behind him. They carried plastic pumpkin bowls to collect candy later in the evening. The two boys greeted Makayla with equal levels of excitement. “Hi, Makayla!” Colden said. “You ready to go trick‐or‐treating?” Porter asked. She nodded her head and ran to grab her coat. “Let’s go, everyone!” her mom called out, and they all marched out the front door. All around them, children and parents walked from door to door in colorful costumes. Carved Jack‐o‐lanterns sat in front of houses, candles shimmering inside the orange pumpkins. A breeze blew past Makayla and her friends, making her shiver. The weather had just started to get colder. 1 © 2014 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved.

Keywords: survey, network economics, network industries, network effects, network externalities JEL Classifications: D4, L1, L8, Z1 Oz Shy is an economist in the research department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. His e-mail address is [email protected]. This paper, which may be revised, is available on the web site of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston at http://www.bos.frb.org/economic/wp/index.htm. I thank Jeff Church, Suzanne Lorant, Victor Tremblay, and two anonymous reviewers for most valuable comments and suggestions on earlier drafts. The views and opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston or the Federal Reserve System. This version: March 31, 2010 1. Introduction Network effects are a special type of externality in which consumers’ utility and/or firms’ profits are directly affected by the number of consumers and/or producers using the same (or a compatible) technology. Loosely speaking, network effects are generated by increasing the adoption rate (popularity) of a good or a service. Consumption network effects may be positive, in the sense that consumers benefit from an increase in the number of consumers using the same or a compatible brand; or negative, in which case consumers are worse off when more consumers use the same or a compatible brand.1 Negative network effects often are the result of snobbism or vanity, in that a consumer loses the sense of belonging to an elite group when a product is adopted more widely. -

Fiscal and Policy Note for House Bill
HB 762 Department of Legislative Services Maryland General Assembly 2014 Session FISCAL AND POLICY NOTE House Bill 762 (Delegate A. Miller, et al.) Health and Government Operations State Government - Commemorative Days - Diwali Day This bill requires the Governor to annually proclaim the first Saturday in November as Diwali Day in recognition of the economic and cultural contributions of the many Marylanders for whom Diwali holds special significance. The proclamation must urge educational and cultural organizations to observe Diwali Day properly with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. Fiscal Summary State Effect: Commemorating Diwali Day does not affect State finances. Local Effect: None. Small Business Effect: None. Analysis Current Law: Eleven official commemorative days and five months are recognized in State law as shown in Exhibit 1. The Governor also must issue a proclamation each year encouraging citizens and other individuals to observe a moment of silence at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day to unite in remembrance and commemorate the heroic acts and efforts of Marylanders who have served and died in the U.S. Armed Forces. Background: Diwali, also known as the “festival of lights,” is a Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year. The specifics of the festival vary by region, but it generally signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Over the centuries, in India, Diwali has become a national festival that is enjoyed by most Indians regardless of faith. The festival preparations and rituals typically extend over a five-day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartik. -
An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada
“Never Say Die”: An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada by Elizabeth Cooper A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by Elizabeth Cooper Abstract The community of Aklavik, North West Territories, was known as the “Gateway to the North” throughout the first half of the Twentieth Century. In 1959, the Canadian Federal Government decided to relocate the town to a new location for a variety of economic and environmental reasons. Gwitch’in and Inuvialuit refused to move, thus claiming their current community motto “Never Say Die”. Through a series of interviews and participant observation with Elders in Aklavik and Inuvik, along with consultation of secondary literature and archival sources, this thesis examines ideas of the impact of mission hospitals, notions of health, wellness and community through an analysis of some of the events that transpired during this interesting period of history. Acknowledgements I would like to thank and honour the people in both Aklavik and Inuvik for their help and support with this project. I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr. Christopher G Trott, Dr Emma LaRocque and Dr. Mark Rumel for their continued help and support throughout this project. I would like to thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Dr. S. Michelle Driedger’s Research in Science Communication CIHR-CFI Research Lab, University of Manitoba Graduate Studies, University of Manitoba Faculty of Arts, University of Manitoba, Department of Native Studies and University of Manitoba Graduate Students Association, for making both the research and dissemination of results for this project possible.
