&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Oatmeal Day is celebrated every October 29th.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Since oatmeal is made from ground oats, it is a healthy choice a food that has been enjoyed for thousands of years. Although it is unknown who started National Oatmeal Day or when it began, we know quite a bit about the history of this grain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El Día Nacional de la Avena se celebra cada 29 de octubre. Dado que la avena se elabora con avena molida, es una opción saludable y un alimento que se ha disfrutado durante miles de años.  Aunque desconocemos quién inició el Día Nacional de la Avena y cuándo comenzó, sabemos bastante sobre la historia de este cereal. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oats can be traced back more than 4,000 years to Egypt’s 12th Dynasty, and it is believed that the Chinese knew of and consumed them long before that. In Europe, Germanic tribes enjoyed oats for breakfast, but the Romans mocked this practice, believing that oats were only fit for horses. The Greeks also viewed them as &quot;barbarian food&quot; and, consequently, avoided them. Despite the Romans&apos; personal aversion to oats, they made extensive use of them to feed their horses, which is how they introduced the grain to Great Britain. Since the British climate is highly favorable for their cultivation, oats spread rapidly—especially in Scotland—and the Scots readily incorporated them into their diet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Se ha rastreado la avena hasta hace más de 4000 años, a la XII Dinastía de Egipto, y se cree que los chinos la conocían y consumían mucho antes. En Europa , las tribus germánicas disfrutaban de la avena como desayuno, pero los romanos se burlaban de esta idea porque creían que solo era apta para el consumo de los caballos . Los griegos también la consideraban &quot;comida bárbara&quot; y, por lo tanto, la evitaban.&lt;br /&gt;A pesar de la aversión personal de los romanos por la avena, la utilizaban mucho para alimentar a sus caballos, por lo que la introdujeron en Gran Bretaña. Dado que el clima británico es muy propicio para su cultivo, la avena se extendió rápidamente, especialmente en Escocia. Y los escoceses no dudaron en incorporarla a su dieta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For some, a bowl of oatmeal might seem simple and boring, but this grain is far from dull. Most people know that oats help lower cholesterol, but many are unaware that they are also packed with antioxidants. Oats are considered a superfood, rich in antioxidants such as avenanthramides. Thanks to these small but powerful antioxidants, oats are also capable of fighting inflammation in the body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Para algunos, la avena es un simple y aburrido tazón, pero este cereal dista mucho de ser aburrido. Casi todo el mundo sabe que la avena reduce el colesterol, pero lo que muchos desconocen es que este alimento está repleto de antioxidantes. Se la considera un superalimento rico en antioxidantes como las avenantramidas.&lt;br /&gt;La avena también es capaz de combatir la inflamación en el organismo, gracias a esos pequeños antioxidantes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our &apos;Family Time&apos; to Fridays and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting &lt;strong&gt;6 pm CST/ 7 pm EST&lt;/strong&gt;. We always try to have a little fun and and if you&apos;re paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn&apos;t all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it&apos;s about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is an alarming statistic that 1 in 4 people will suffer a stroke at some point in their life. &lt;strong&gt;World Stroke Day is observed annually on October 29th.&lt;/strong&gt; We all know or should know just how dangerous strokes can be; the day was established by the World Stroke Organization in 2006 as an annual event to raise awareness about the harmful effects of strokes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Es una estadística alarmante que 1 de cada 4 personas sufra un ictus en algún momento de su vida. El Día Mundial del Ictus este día se celebra el 29 de octubre de cada año. Todos sabemos, o deberíamos saber, lo peligrosos que pueden ser los accidentes cerebrovasculares,  fue creado por la Organización Mundial del Ictus en 2006 como un evento anual para concienciar sobre los efectos perjudiciales de los ictus. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;These data&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; demonstrate why it is essential for people to consider making lifestyle changes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Each year, nearly 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Each year, more than 140,000 Americans die from a stroke. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nearly 1 in 4 strokes occurs in people who have already had one previously. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Almost 90% of all strokes are ischemic strokes—that is, strokes that restrict or block blood flow in the brain. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Estos datos&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; demuestran por qué es fundamental que las personas consideren realizar cambios en su estilo de vida.&lt;br /&gt;-Cada año, casi 800.000 estadounidenses sufren un derrame cerebral.&lt;br /&gt;-Cada año, más de 140.000 estadounidenses mueren a causa de un derrame cerebral.&lt;br /&gt;-Casi 1 de cada 4 accidentes cerebrovasculares se produce en personas que ya han sufrido uno anteriormente.&lt;br /&gt;-Casi el 90% de todos los accidentes cerebrovasculares son accidentes cerebrovasculares isquémicos, es decir, accidentes cerebrovasculares que restringen o bloquean el flujo sanguíneo en el cerebro.&lt;br /&gt;-El accidente cerebrovascular es la principal causa de discapacidad grave a largo plazo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although there is no definitive way to prevent a stroke, learning to recognize its symptoms can help mitigate some of the damage. The sooner medical attention is received during a stroke, the less brain damage is likely to occur. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arms, or legs. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sudden confusion or difficulty speaking. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inability to see out of one or both eyes. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sudden difficulty walking or loss of balance. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A sudden, unexplained headache.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The FAST system&lt;/strong&gt; is a tool that helps identify strokes in others and is described below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“F” stands for Face. Is one side of the person’s face drooping?&lt;br /&gt;“A” stands for Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?&lt;br /&gt;“S” stands for Speech. Can the person repeat a simple sentence?&lt;br /&gt;“T” stands for Time. If you observe any of the signs above, seek help immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aunque no existe una forma definitiva de prevenir un ictus, es posible aprender a reconocer sus síntomas para mitigar parte del daño. Cuanto antes se reciba atención médica durante un ictus, menor será el daño cerebral.&lt;br /&gt;-Entumecimiento o debilidad repentina en la cara, los brazos o las piernas.&lt;br /&gt;-Confusión repentina o dificultad para hablar.&lt;br /&gt;-Incapacidad para ver con uno o ambos ojos.&lt;br /&gt;-Dificultad repentina para caminar o pérdida del equilibrio.&lt;br /&gt;-Dolor de cabeza repentino sin causa aparente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El sistema FAST&lt;/strong&gt; es una herramienta que ayuda a identificar los ictus en otras personas y se describe a continuación.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La “F” significa cara. ¿Tiene un lado de la cara de la persona caído?&lt;br /&gt;La “A” significa brazos. Pídele a la persona que levante ambos brazos. ¿Se le cae un brazo?&lt;br /&gt;La “S” significa habla . ¿Puede la persona repetir una frase sencilla?&lt;br /&gt;La “T” significa tiempo. Si observa alguna de las señales anteriores, pida ayuda inmediatamente.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thealliance/SszMQ6lq-thealliance20new20pagebreak.png&quot;&gt;https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thealliance/SszMQ6lq-thealliance20new20pagebreak.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout history, black cats have had a bad reputation. They have been associated with all sorts of things from simple bad luck to witches and Satanists. This day is observed on October 27th and is known as National Black Cat Day, as it falls four days before Halloween.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A lo largo de la historia, los gatos negros han tenido mala fama. Se les ha asociado con todo tipo de cosas, desde la simple mala suerte hasta brujas y satanistas. Este día se celebra el 27 de octubre y se conoce como el Día Nacional del Gato Negro , dado que se celebra cuatro días antes de Halloween &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Initially, it was unknown who had started this observance, or when. However, that changed recently with the discovery that it was actually initiated by a UK based animal welfare charity called Cats Protection. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The organization created this day to raise awareness about the challenges black cats face in finding a home.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Black cats have been perceived differently depending on the time period and the place. For instance, in Great Britain and Japan, a black cat is considered a sign of good luck. In the United States, however, it has come to symbolize bad luck or forces of evil. In some parts of the world, a black cat crossing your path is considered a bad omen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;En un principio, no se sabía quién había iniciado esta festividad, ni cuándo. Sin embargo, eso cambió recientemente al descubrir que, en realidad, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;fueron iniciadas por una organización benéfica de protección animal del Reino Unido llamada Cats Protection.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta organización creó este día festivo para concienciar sobre las dificultades que enfrentan los gatos negros para ser adoptados.&lt;br /&gt;Los gatos negros han recibido diferentes tratos según el año y el lugar donde vivían. Por ejemplo, en Gran Bretaña y Japón , un gato negro se considera de buena suerte. Sin embargo, en Estados Unidos, ha llegado a simbolizar la mala suerte o las fuerzas del mal. En algunas partes del mundo, si un gato negro se cruza en tu camino, se considera un mal presagio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Egyptians believed that black cats brought good luck. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fishermen, sailors, and pirates considered black cats a symbol of good luck. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In some parts of England and Ireland, a black cat crossing your path is considered to bring good luck. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Russia, cats of all colors are considered to be good luck. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are 19 different cat breeds that include black as a possible coat color.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Los egipcios consideraban que los gatos negros traían buena suerte.&lt;br /&gt;-Los pescadores, marineros y piratas consideraban a los gatos negros como un símbolo de buena suerte.&lt;br /&gt;-En algunas zonas de Inglaterra e Irlanda , se considera que un gato negro que se cruza en tu camino trae buena suerte.&lt;br /&gt;-En Rusia, los gatos de todos los colores se consideran de buena suerte.&lt;br /&gt;-Existen 19 razas de gatos diferentes que tienen el negro como opción de color de pelaje.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Siempre tratamos de divertirnos un poco y, si estás prestando atención, es posible que compartamos algunas sonrisas. Nos gusta sonreír. Nos gusta reír. Nos damos cuenta de que la vida no se trata solo de cosas importantes como la #política, la #religión y el #sexo, no, se trata del tiempo invertido, las experiencias vividas y los recuerdos creados. Los recuerdos se transmiten, las experiencias se comparten y el tiempo... el tiempo es la moneda que gastamos para adquirirlos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Pumpkin Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is an unofficial holiday observed annually on October 26th. Its purpose is to celebrate and express appreciation for pumpkin growers, who play such an important role in American culture. The pumpkin is not only delicious but also serves as one of the primary symbols of Halloween in the United States, as well as a central feature of many autumn festivals, events, and competitions. One popular event that centers on the humble pumpkin is &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Pumpkin Chunkin.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El Día Nacional de la Calabaza,&lt;/strong&gt; una festividad no oficial que se celebra el 26 de octubre y tiene lugar anualmente. Su propósito es celebrar y agradecer al cultivador de calabazas, que es una parte tan importante de la cultura estadounidense. La calabaza no solo es deliciosa, sino que también es uno de los principales símbolos de Halloween en Estados Unidos y un elemento central en muchos festivales, eventos y concursos de otoño. Un evento popular que incluye la humilde calabaza es el &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Pumpkin Chunkin&quot;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scientists believe that pumpkins originated in North America about 9,000 years ago. This is based on the discovery of seeds in Mexico dating back to 7000 BCE. However, the name &quot;pumpkin&quot; comes from the Greek word &quot;pepõn,&quot; which means &quot;large melon.&quot; This term evolved through French and English before eventually becoming the American English word &quot;pumpkin.&quot; Native Americans cultivated these squash along riverbanks alongside beans and sunflowers even before corn became a staple crop. Once corn gained popularity, Native Americans adopted a cultivation system known as the &quot;Three Sisters&quot; method, which integrates pumpkins, corn, and beans. The Three Sisters method allows pumpkins, corn, and beans to benefit one another as they grow. The corn provides a structure for the beans to climb, allowing them to reach sunlight. The beans, in turn, add nitrogen to the soil, which helps the corn grow tall. Furthermore, the bean plants help keep the corn stalks stable during windy weather.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Los científicos creen que las calabazas se originaron en Norteamérica hace unos 9.000 años. Esto se basa en el hallazgo de semillas que datan de México en el año 7000 a. C. Sin embargo, el nombre de esta calabaza proviene de la palabra griega &quot;pepõn&quot;, que significa &quot;melón grande&quot;. Esta palabra evolucionó hasta convertirse en una palabra francesa , luego en inglesa y finalmente en la palabra estadounidense &quot;pumpkin&quot; (calabaza). Los nativos americanos solían cultivar esta calabaza a orillas de los ríos junto con frijoles y girasoles antes de que el maíz se convirtiera en un cultivo. Tras la popularización del maíz, los nativos americanos emplearon un sistema de cultivo de calabazas con maíz y frijoles llamado &quot;Método de las Tres Hermanas &quot;.&lt;br /&gt;El método de las Tres Hermanas permite que las calabazas, el maíz y las judías se beneficien mutuamente durante su crecimiento. El maíz sirve de soporte para que las judías trepen y reciban luz solar. Las judías aportan nitrógeno al suelo , lo que permite que el maíz crezca alto. Además, las plantas de judía mantienen estables los tallos de maíz en días de mucho viento.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts about pumpkins&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The largest pumpkin pie was 5 feet in diameter and weighed 350 pounds.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The largest pumpkin pie required 80 pounds of cooked pumpkin, 12 dozen eggs, and 36 pounds of sugar. - The largest pumpkin pie took 6 hours to bake. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pumpkins contain vitamin A and potassium. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pumpkins are 90% water.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Color Day is celebrated on October 22nd&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; a date that reminds us of the importance of color in our lives. Color can influence a person’s mood or reveal aspects of their personality. It transforms a world that would otherwise be in black and white into something more interesting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El Día Nacional del Color se celebra el 22 de octubre y es una fecha que nos recuerda la importancia del color en nuestras vidas. El color puede influir en el estado de ánimo de una persona o revelar aspectos de su personalidad. Transforma un mundo que de otro modo sería en blanco y negro en algo más interesante. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not many people pay attention to color, and as a result, many interesting facts go unnoticed. This is likely because we are constantly surrounded by color, so we don’t give it much thought. Here are some interesting facts that help us better understand color. Color can create a positive mood in a person or evoke childhood memories. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Ancient Rome, the wealthy wore black, red, and white, while the poor typically wore blue. The color blue was later brought back into favor through the Virgin Mary; her association with the color gave it a more positive image.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No mucha gente le presta atención al color, y por eso, muchos datos interesantes pasan desapercibidos . Probablemente esto se deba a que estamos rodeados de color constantemente, así que no le prestamos mucha atención.  Estás son algunas curiosidades que nos ayudan a  comprenderlo mejor el color. El color puede generar un estado de ánimo positivo en una persona o evocar recuerdos de la infancia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;En la Antigua Roma, los ricos vestían de negro, rojo y blanco, pero los pobres solían vestir de azul. El color azul fue resucitado por la Virgen María. Su uso del color le otorgó una imagen más positiva.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Red is one of the first colors that two week old babies begin to see. As they grow, their color palette expands until they develop full color vision by the age of five months. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The color pink has a calming effect on most people.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It has been shown that white cars are less likely to be involved in traffic accidents than cars of other colors. Black was the color associated with the least safe cars.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Police are more likely to pull over red cars than cars of other colors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chickens exposed to reddish-hued lighting tend to be calmer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chickens exposed to reddish-orange light are stimulated to reproduce. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mars is covered in iron oxide, which gives it a blood-red color. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The most popular color in the United States is blue. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the Middle Ages, green became the color associated with unreliability and betrayal. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The color orange was once known by the term &quot;geoluhread.&quot; It was not until the 16th century that the color took its name from the citrus fruit.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-El rojo es uno de los primeros colores que empiezan a ver los bebés de dos semanas. A medida que crecen, su paleta de colores se amplía hasta que desarrollan una visión cromática completa a los cinco meses de edad.&lt;br /&gt;-El color rosa tiene un efecto calmante en la mayoría de las personas.&lt;br /&gt;-Se ha comprobado que los coches blancos tienen menos probabilidades de verse involucrados en un accidente de tráfico que los coches de otros colores. El color de los coches considerados menos seguros fue el negro.&lt;br /&gt;-Es más probable que la policía detenga a los coches rojos que a los coches de otros colores.&lt;br /&gt;-Es probable que las gallinas expuestas a una iluminación de tonalidad rojiza estén más tranquilas.&lt;br /&gt;-Las gallinas expuestas a luz naranja rojiza se ven estimuladas a reproducirse.&lt;br /&gt;-Marte está cubierto de óxido de hierro, y por eso tiene un color rojo sangre.&lt;br /&gt;-El color más popular en Estados Unidos es el azul.&lt;br /&gt;-En la Edad Media, el verde se convirtió en el color de la falta de fiabilidad y la traición.&lt;br /&gt;-El color naranja solía conocerse con la palabra &quot;geoluhread&quot;. No fue hasta el siglo XVI que el color recibió el nombre de la fruta cítrica.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apple Day is a celebration held on October 21st, or on the weekend closest to October 30th each year&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; hich pays tribute to everything related to apples and orchards. Traditionally celebrated in the United Kingdom, it is now beginning to spread across the globe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El Día de la Manzana es una festividad que se celebra el 21 de octubre o el fin de semana más cercano al 30 de octubre de cada año, y rinde homenaje a todo lo relacionado con las manzanas y los huertos. Tradicionalmente se celebra en el Reino Unido,  y está empezando a extenderse por todo el mundo .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first Apple Day was held on October 21, 1990, in Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom. This initial event was quite small; however, as the years passed, more and more people began to attend, until by the year 2000, nearly 700 events were being held across the United Kingdom. This day was established to recognize that apples are unique depending on the orchard they come from, and that the diversity of orchards is of great importance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El primer Día de la Manzana se celebró el 21 de octubre de 1990 en Covent Garden, Londres, Reino Unido. Este evento inicial fue bastante pequeño, con el paso de los años, cada vez más personas comenzaron a asistir, hasta que en el año 2000 se celebraron casi 700 eventos en el Reino Unido. Este día se creó para reconocer que las manzanas son únicas según su huerto y que la diversidad de los huertos es muy importante.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apple trees can take up to five years to start producing apples.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An average apple tree can produce more than 800 pounds of apples. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apples actually belong to the rose family. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It takes more than 30 apples to make a gallon of apple cider. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are more than 8,000 varieties of apples worldwide. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The United States has over 2,500 different apple varieties, but only the crabapple is native. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apple trees can live for more than 100 years. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Malusdomesticafobia is the fear of apples.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Los manzanos pueden tardar hasta cinco años en empezar a producir manzanas.&lt;br /&gt;-Un manzano promedio puede producir más de 800 libras de manzanas.&lt;br /&gt;-Las manzanas pertenecen en realidad a la familia de las rosas .&lt;br /&gt;-Se necesitan más de 30 manzanas para hacer un galón de sidra de manzana ñ.&lt;br /&gt;-Existen más de 8.000 variedades de manzanas en todo el mundo.&lt;br /&gt;-Estados Unidos cuenta con más de 2.500 variedades diferentes de manzanas, pero solo la manzana silvestre es autóctona.&lt;br /&gt;-Los manzanos pueden vivir más de 100 años.&lt;br /&gt;-La malusdomesticafobia es el miedo a las manzanas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our &apos;Family Time&apos; to Fridays and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting &lt;strong&gt;6 pm CST/ 7 pm EST&lt;/strong&gt;. We always try to have a little fun and and if you&apos;re paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn&apos;t all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it&apos;s about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bueno, hola, ¿nos extrañaste? ¡Te extrañamos! De hecho, tanto, que hemos reprogramado nuestro &apos;Tiempo en familia&apos; para los viernes ¡y esperamos verte allí! Únase a nuestra encantadora banda de marginados, normativos, tontos, proxenetas, degenerados, profesionales y todo lo relacionado con dentro y fuera y entre y a partir de &lt;strong&gt;6 p.m. CST/ 7 p.m. EST&lt;/strong&gt;. Siempre tratamos de divertirnos un poco y, si estás prestando atención, es posible que compartamos algunas sonrisas. Nos gusta sonreír. Nos gusta reír. Nos damos cuenta de que la vida no se trata solo de cosas importantes como la #política, la #religión y el #sexo, no, se trata del tiempo invertido, las experiencias vividas y los recuerdos creados. Los recuerdos se transmiten, las experiencias se comparten y el tiempo... el tiempo es la moneda que gastamos para adquirirlos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past, business was a field dominated exclusively by men, but this is gradually beginning to change as more and more women enter the business world. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Women in Business Week is celebrated during the third full week of October and pays tribute to women who work in the business world.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;En el pasado, los negocios eran un campo dominado exclusivamente por hombres , pero esto está empezando a cambiar poco a poco a medida que más y más mujeres se incorporan al mundo empresarial. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La Semana Nacional de la Mujer Empresaria se celebra durante la tercera semana completa de octubre y rinde homenaje a las mujeres que trabajan en el mundo de los negocios.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Women are also creating their own businesses on an unprecedented scale, and it is estimated that women-owned enterprises generate nearly $2 trillion in sales each year. The first National Business Women’s Week was held in 1928 and was originally spearheaded by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs &lt;strong&gt;(NFBPWC).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, in its early stages, it was not widely observed. It took ten years before it began to be celebrated nationwide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Las mujeres también están creando sus propios negocios a una escala sin precedentes, y se estima que las empresas propiedad de mujeres generan casi 2 billones de dólares en ventas cada año.&lt;br /&gt;La primera Semana Nacional de la Mujer Empresaria se celebró en 1928 y fue impulsada originalmente por la Federación Nacional de Clubes de Mujeres Empresarias y Profesionales &lt;strong&gt;(NFBPWC).&lt;/strong&gt; Sin embargo, en sus inicios, no se celebró de forma generalizada. Tuvieron que pasar diez años para que comenzara a celebrarse en todo el país.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Women own more than a third of small businesses worldwide. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In California alone, there are 1.3 million women-owned businesses. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Women-owned businesses are growing at a rate of 5% per year. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the United States, women own more than 12 million businesses. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;U.S. businesses owned by women employ more than 9 million people. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Businesses owned by Hispanic women have grown by nearly 200% over the last decade. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Approximately 88% of women owned businesses generate less than $100,000 per year.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our &apos;Family Time&apos; to Fridays and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting &lt;strong&gt;6 pm CST/ 7 pm EST&lt;/strong&gt;. We always try to have a little fun and and if you&apos;re paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn&apos;t all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it&apos;s about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bueno, hola, ¿nos extrañaste? ¡Te extrañamos! De hecho, tanto, que hemos reprogramado nuestro &apos;Tiempo en familia&apos; para los viernes ¡y esperamos verte allí! Únase a nuestra encantadora banda de marginados, normativos, tontos, proxenetas, degenerados, profesionales y todo lo relacionado con dentro y fuera y entre y a partir de &lt;strong&gt;6 p.m. CST/ 7 p.m. EST&lt;/strong&gt;. Siempre tratamos de divertirnos un poco y, si estás prestando atención, es posible que compartamos algunas sonrisas. Nos gusta sonreír. Nos gusta reír. Nos damos cuenta de que la vida no se trata solo de cosas importantes como la #política, la #religión y el #sexo, no, se trata del tiempo invertido, las experiencias vividas y los recuerdos creados. Los recuerdos se transmiten, las experiencias se comparten y el tiempo... el tiempo es la moneda que gastamos para adquirirlos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although menopause is part of the natural cycle, many women are not prepared for the physical, mental, and emotional changes that often accompany this transition. A decline in estrogen and progesterone levels can lead to hot flashes, weight gain, and vaginal dryness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aunque la menopausia forma parte del ciclo natural, muchas mujeres no están preparadas para los cambios físicos, mentales y emocionales que suelen acompañar a esta transición. La disminución de los niveles de estrógeno y progesterona puede provocar sofocos, aumento de peso y sequedad vaginal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This observance was established in 2009 by the International Menopause Society (IMS).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its goal was to raise public awareness about menopause and encourage menopausal women to seek the support and treatment they need; these are changes for which every woman should be prepared, and this observance aims to foster awareness regarding them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esta festividad fue creada en 2009 por la Sociedad Internacional de Menopausia (IMS).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Su objetivo era concienciar al público sobre la menopausia y animar a las mujeres menopáusicas a buscar el apoyo y el tratamiento que necesitan, son cambios para los que toda mujer debería estar preparada, y esta celebración pretende concienciar sobre ellos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe these points are just a starting point and that people should take the time to learn more about menopause and its effects on women&apos;s health. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The average age for the onset of menopause is 51. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Most women stop menstruating between the ages of 45 and 55. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Perimenopause marks the beginning of a woman&apos;s transition toward menopause. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Menopause affects bone health, so women should consume plenty of calcium, take vitamin D supplements, and avoid smoking. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Menopause can affect a woman&apos;s heart health, as arteries become less flexible.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Creemos que estos puntos son solo un punto de partida y que las personas deberían tomarse el tiempo para aprender más sobre la menopausia y sus efectos en la salud de las mujeres.&lt;br /&gt;-La edad promedio de inicio de la menopausia es de 51 años.&lt;br /&gt;-La mayoría de las mujeres dejan de tener la menstruación entre los 45 y los 55 años.&lt;br /&gt;-La perimenopausia marca el comienzo de la transición de la mujer hacia la menopausia.&lt;br /&gt;-La menopausia afecta a la salud ósea, por lo que las mujeres deben consumir mucho calcio, tomar suplementos de vitamina D y evitar fumar.&lt;br /&gt;-La menopausia puede afectar la salud cardíaca de la mujer , ya que las arterias se vuelven menos flexibles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was a half of a decade ago (does that make it sound longer?) that this psychotic guy came through our legacy chain - #steem, and &lt;strong&gt;Hive&lt;/strong&gt; was birthed into the crypto realms. He thought it would be cool to rearrange and dissect it. People like @c0ff33a, @blocktrades, @guiltyparties and many others, moved quickly to thwart the would be disaster by forking from that blockchain and creating our new home - Hive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hive itself, has slowly but steadily, maintained a community driven experience for all of its users. Those experiences could be in the form of gaming, blogging or even just taking photographs or making videos. We have pretty much anything you could ever want in the social media sphere of the internet. What is it you &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to do? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe you want to just play games and perhaps earn a little for your efforts? Maybe you would like to passively build your portfolio by playing around in various liquidity pools? Maybe, you just want to find a place where you can connect with genuine people and make a few friends or even - become part of a family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;What is #thealliance?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Alliance is a Team&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thealliance/Eos2qekCyj9ZUAQpMQjyFtVaM4M3C5xTm4GAqrvBApFQxQ1jFtJWUp86FpD79YwBu8q.gif&quot; alt=&quot;workasteam.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;When The Alliance was first created, it was apparent, that to climb the proverbial ladder on this platform, one would need some help. One would need a team. And thus, The Alliance was hatched. Only, I didn&apos;t just want it to be a team. It had to be more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Believe it or not, The Alliance was one of the first actual communities on Hive, emerging into existence on the legacy chain - Steem, before communities even existed as a sub-menu on #peakd or #hiveblog. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have since, just as Hive has, evolved from having actual blogging classes and paid for bot voters to syndicates and discord bots to what we have now. All the while, there is one thing that has remained and will continue to, throughout the marathon we run with all of you dedicated enough to be involved. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Alliance is a Family&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://youtu.be/U37cChUfHk0&quot;&gt;https://youtu.be/U37cChUfHk0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes. A family. I felt a simple support system wasn&apos;t going to be enough. We had to have something that separated us (and still does) from other communities. Something that has carried into other ones as well. You can join our server. That doesn&apos;t make you family. You can join our trail. That doesn&apos;t make you family. You can even delegate to our primary curation account but again - that doesn&apos;t make you family. You can even do all three and that still won&apos;t make you family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What makes you family is the engagement. Being there. Showing you care about more than just a vote. Yes, we ask for delegations, but that is so we can help others. By helping others first, you then start to help yourself. Ever heard the term or phrase &apos;pay it forward&apos;? We do just that. Anyone on our trail or delegating to our curation account is also doing that and in doing so, expect(s) nothing in return. The return comes when the love is shown and grown beyond a monetary presence. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also strive to help others when we can. We have helped raise up dozens (if not more) of communities and initiatives on and surrounding the #hiverse. Credit given or not, people know. We are not affiliated with any particular sect or align ourselves with any governmental issues. We accept anyone for who they are and what they want to become. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://youtu.be/4n__TRVpBeI&quot;&gt;https://youtu.be/4n__TRVpBeI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;h4&gt;How To&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moving forward, there will only be one way to join the family. We have had many a vote seeker, which is fine, but that is not what we are about. First, you will have to &lt;a href=&quot;https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh&quot;&gt;join us in the Castle&lt;/a&gt;. From there, you will be directed to a specific channel upon which, you will be directed back here to comment that you understand what The Alliance is. Then, as an associate, you will be allowed to speak/type in the Castle. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will then notice a &apos;getting to know you&apos; channel, where we will all do exactly that. Once we feel we know you well enough, you become a &apos;friend&apos; and can mingle in other parts of the Castle. If you have delegated to the family account (@thealliance) and shown you are willing to run this race with us, then we will see about getting you set up for our constant support. We want to help you, we really do, but you have to prove you are willing to help others and are really what the fam is about. #familyfirst &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h6&gt;The Periodical Purge&lt;/h6&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://hive.blog/hive-123585/@thealliance/welcome-to-hive-we-are-5-today&quot;&gt;Read the full post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><dc:creator>thealliance</dc:creator><category>hive-123585</category></item></channel></rss>
