Hallowe'en

Hallowe'en, despite what many might think, Hallowe'en is well known across hundreds of nations all over the world. Hallowe'en has been around for several centuries and has a very important meaning in the lives of many. It would be safe to assume that Hallowe'en is going to be around for a long time and have an enormous impact on the lives of many people. Social & Cultural Factors Hallowe'en has a large role in Culture. Many people can often be seen taking part in activities associated with Hallowe'en. This is partly because people of most ages can be involved and families are brought together by this. Generally a person who displays their dislike for Hallowe'en may be considered an outcast. Economic Factors It is not common practice to associate economics with Hallowe'en. Generally, Hallowe'en would be thought to have no effect on our economic situation, but there are in fact some effects. The sales industry associated with Hallowe'en is actually a 1.3 billion dollar a year industry and growing each year. The industry employs nearly 150,000 people in the United States alone. It would be safe to say that Hallowe'en play an important role in American economics and shouldn't be taken for granted. Environmental Factors After a three month long research project, I've been able to conclude that Hallowe'en doesn't negatively effect the environment at all. A Hallowe'en did not seem to result in waste products and couldn't be found in forests, jungles, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc... In fact, Hallowe'en produced some positive effects on our sweet little nature. Political Factors Oh does Hallowe'en ever influence politics. Last year 5 candidates running for some sort of position used Hallowe'en as the primary topic of their campaign. A person might think Hallowe'en would be a bad topic to lead a campaign with, but in fact with the social and environmental impact is has, this topic was able to gain a great number of followers. These 5 candidates went 4 for 5 on winning their positions. Conclusion Hallowe'en seem to be a much more important idea that most give credit for. Next time you see or think of Hallowe'en, think about what you just read and realize what is really going on. It is likely you under valued Hallowe'en before, but will now start to give the credited needed and deserved.

Nora Jones Rocks my birthday
As I enjoy my few days break here in beautiful Belfast, I get a chance to see a long time favourite of mine, the hip and happening Ms Nora Jones. Originally hailing from the great state of Texas, Jones put out a set which, as one could predict, some old; some new and the obligatory encore. The set design was wonderfully crafted and the music equally so. I was amazed at the quality of the soundstage that it could have easily been mistaken for playback.
The waterfront is a setting that inspires creativity and uniqueness. This set was both. Jones was performing material that verged on alternative Rock, with a splash of Pop thrown in. Even thought we were requested to refrain from taking photographs et al, there were a fair few who could not resist the temptation being that some were tantalizingly close enough to capture the freckles on here face.
My spot only allowed me to look from on hight like a god looking on one of its masterpiece creations.
As far as birthday weekends go, this one was up there. Jean Michelle Jarre was another one thats stands out for me.
