This (Past Two) Week's Favourite Things! Monday January 30th - Sunday February 12th, 2017

1. This YouAreCreators youtube video: Nikola Tesla Code 3-6-9 "All is vibrating energy, especially thought"

2.  The Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan.  It is HUGE (over $170 billion) and prosperous, growing like a money snowball as described on this wiki page, in their annual reporting, and in this Walrus article: Pension Envy. subtitle "Ontario Teachers have the world's best-performing retirement fund.  Is it a model for the rest of us?"  

Meanwhile in Nova Scotia there has been a lot of media about teachers requests for better classroom conditions and pay etc, which makes me wonder if the NS Teachers Pension Plan could be managed as successfully as the OTPP, whether that could solve some of their problems.

3.  New lifestyle decision to stop complaining about anything, or at least try hard to do so, inspired by item #1 on this list, and also in order to test the theory that complaining causes tension in the body and therefore detracts from health and productivity. Hence the hypothesis that in the absence of complaining, health and productivity should improve.  I found a few posts on the topic, especially from people trying a 21 day complaining detox.  This article explains why Complaining is Bad for Your Brain

4. Becoming Warren Buffet - a 2017 HBO documentary about billionaire Warren Buffet. 

5. Our sweet, sweet Canadian air, especially after reading this article: New Zealand air farmers are cashing in on China's air pollution.  Sorry about your air, China, but thanks for all the cheap stuff. 

6.  Youtube video Sophia Loren Mambo Italiano  and  Fred Astaire & Rita Hayworth in The Shorty George
