The enduring images of VE Day are of the unrestrained, joyful celebrations that swept European and American cities. But as this detailed and absorbing study illustrates, massive human suffering and even violence was far from over. Left in the wake of the cataclysm were millions of so-called DPs (displaced persons), many of whom were Jewish survivors of the concentration camps, although the massive scale of the Holocaust was not yet evident. But the miserable also encompassed numerous other nationalities tossed about by the vagaries of war. Tasked with the responsibility for dealing with their misery was the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA).

The hunger games



Hunger is no laughing matter, many people are allowed to go hungry through no fault of their own. Things like natural disasters, famine, drought, homelessness are just some of the reasons why people go hungry, or without food for many days, weeks, or months even.

It is very important that those of us who are in a position to help others during their crisis do so without fail. No one likes the thought of having to beg others for food and other basic needs in order to survive but sometimes in the name of survival it is only human nature to do what you have to do in order to stay alive.

The hunger game is not something that affects only the poor. Animals and other living species can also be affected by hunger and as humanitarians we have to keep reminded of this also.

In order to eradicate hunger it would be nice if we all did what we can in order to eradicate world hunger. Since knowledge is the key to success a great place to start would be through education. This recommended book is an excellent place to start for other suggestions about how the hunger games can be won.

Good parenting is something that all parents can be very proud of. However, since good parenting can only be accomplished through patience, discipline and lots of proper guidance, many teen parents are failing miserably and some are desperately seeking the help of older and much wiser parents.

Unfortunately for some teens, having a mother, grandparents, or even someone else available to help them to raise their child/children is unknown. They are experiencing difficulty when it comes to coping with child rearing and are in need of assistance.

Even though there are many good books written on the subject of how to become a good parent, for reasons untold they are often ignored. Reading encourages both the parent and a child to become more literate when it comes to the growing pains of parenthood.

Children live with what they learn, and it is very important that parents read to their chid/children often when they are at a young age. Moreover, when the child/children are older they do not depart from it. Interestingly enough, their social behaviours are always considered to be more disciplined than those of the children who were not taught how to read.

Good parenting is no easy task. Therefore, teaching a child healthy habits from an early age is a positive start to a very productive lifestyle.

Ride the Rocket

If you are traveling on the T.T.C with children, or simply have a long way to go then the best advice is for you to take along a book with you to pass the time.

With the cost of living so high in the city of Toronto, it is a known fact that the T.T.C is definitely the better way to save on gas prices, and auto insurance.


There are connecting buses, and streetcars that will take you directly to and from the subway stations.
The better way just keeps on getting better. "Ride the Rocket."
