(What I’ve been doing or what has God been doing in my life):
Binged on the new NetFlix Reality Show called The Circle because I am a glutton for punishment when it comes to reality TV shows like Big Brother.
I loved the show because it highlighted how social media is like the wild west when it comes to not knowing who or what you are engaging with.
"Big Brother" meets "Catfish" on this reality series on which not everything is as it seems.
Comic Michelle Buteau hosts the show that features its contestants moving into the same apartment building.
The twist is that the players never meet face-to-face during the competition, as each one lives in his or her own apartment.
The contestants communicate exclusively through profiles created on a specially designed social media app.
This anonymity allows them to hide their true identities and portray themselves however they choose. Throughout the competition, the players rate one another, with the lowest-rated players put at risk of being eliminated, or blocked, from the game.
The contestant who survives the contest and emerges the winner takes home the $100,000 grand prize.

I will be working out of these books for future episode and I will share which one I will be covering the episode ahead in case anyone wants to join in as I go and write in their own thoughts and insights ahead of time.
The books I will be using to get started are :
Woman of the Bible by Jean E Syswerda Bible Study Book.

1)Big THink: China grew a plant on the moon — it sprouted two leaves, data indicates
In January of 2019, China became the first nation to land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon.
Chang'e-4 lunar rover carried among its payload a small biosphere that housed six lifeforms, including cotton seeds.
Using data from that biosphere experiment, researchers constructed a digital image of the cotton plant that reveals it grew two leaves before dying from the cold.
2) Huffington Post - University Accepts Peanut Butter And Jelly As Payment For Parking Tickets
Anyone with unpaid parking fines at the University of Alaska Anchorage campus had the option to reduce or cover the cost of their tickets with peanut butter and jelly.
They do this once a year as an annual payment tradition to help combat student hunger.
Officials say the food goes to students in need and they allow each student to pay for two citations issued within the past 45 days with PB&J payments.
Officials say two 16-ounce (454-gram) jars offer a $10 credit, three jars offer a $35 credit and five jars offer a $60 credit.
Officials say any unopened commercially produced nut butter-almond, cashew, peanut butter or any flavor jam, jelly, marmalade or preserves would be accepted.
I feel like this needs to be thing all over. What an excellent idea!
4) Dailyhealthpost Neuroscience Reveals: Gratitude Literally Rewires Your Brain to be Happier
Psychologists Dr. Robert Emmons of the University of California at Davis and Dr. Michael McCullough of the University of Miami published a study in 2015 that looked at the physical outcomes of practicing gratitude.
One third of the subjects in the study were asked to keep a daily journal of things that happened during the week for which they were grateful.
Another third was asked to write down daily irritations or events that had displeased them.
The last third of the group was asked to write down daily situations and events with no emphasis on either positive or negative emotional attachment.
At the end of the 10-week study, each group was asked to record how they felt physically and generally about life.
The gratitude group reported feeling more optimistic and positive about their lives than the other groups. In addition, the gratitude group was more physically active and reported fewer visits to a doctor than those who only wrote about their negative experiences.
Better Physical Health
Other research into the physical effects of gratitude report even more tangible results.
Focusing on the positive and feeling grateful can improve your sleep quality and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
Furthermore, levels of gratitude correlate to better moods and less fatigue and inflammation, reducing the risk of heart failure, even for those who are susceptible.
Gratitude and Your Brain
The reasons why gratitude is so impactful to health and well-being begin in the brain.
In a neurological experiment conducted by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, brain activity was measured using magnetic resonance imaging as subjects were induced to feel gratitude by receiving gifts.
The areas of the brain showing increased activity were the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex
Those associated with moral and social cognition, reward, empathy, and value judgment.
This led to the conclusion that the emotion of gratitude supports a positive and supportive attitude toward others and a feeling of relief from stressors. (4)Gratitude activates the hypothalamus as well, with downstream effects on metabolism, stress, and various behaviors. (5) The hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain and regulates hormones responsible for many critical functions, such as body temperature, emotional responses, and survival functions like appetite and sleep. One of the neurochemicals associated with the parts of the brain affected by gratitude is dopamine, a pleasure hormone.
5) In an Article Posted on Yahoo News by CNN , The headline reads This Japanese hotel room costs $1 a night. The catch? You have to livestream your stay
When 27-year-old Tetsuya Inoue began running Asahi Ryokan -- a hotel in the Japanese city of Fukuoka that is owned by his grandmother -- he wondered how he could improve business in the new economy.
Inoue had an idea: what if he could use the internet to bring in a new audience and a new revenue stream?
Now, guests coming to Asahi Ryokan have the option to pay just ¥100 (about $1) per night to stay the night -- if they agree to have their entire stay livestreamed.
That said, there are restrictions around how the livestreaming works. Inoue explains to CNN Travel that the feed is video-only, so guests will have privacy in their conversations or phone calls. His YouTube channel is called One Dollar Hotel.
Guests are permitted to turn the lights off, and the bathroom area is out of camera range.
"This is a very old ryokan and I was looking into a new business model," says Inoue, who started running the hotel last year. "Our hotel is on the cheaper side, so we need some added value, something special that everyone will talk about."
So far, four guests have taken him up on the offer since Inoue began offering the deal last month.
"Young people nowadays don't care much about the privacy," Inoue adds. "Some of them say it's OK to be [watched] for just one day."
And while the $1 rooms are clearly a loss leader, Inoue is thinking beyond the cost of a single night's stay. The YouTube channel has already passed 1,000 subscribers. Once it accumulates more than 4,000 view hours, he will be able to put ads on the channel and monetize it.
On days when the room is vacant or no one is streaming, Inoue will post a livestream of himself working in the ryokan's office. Signs in Japanese and English are posted in front of the camera to let viewers know when he's out of the room.
PEEK Is the name of the YouTube Channel I found and it now has 13.8K subscribers
