Wise Aging Together

WISE AGING TOGETHER

Temple Ahavat Achim (86 Middle St., Gloucester, MA)

Sunday, November 1st from 10 am to 12 pm

We can look forward to a longer life span than in any time in history. This trend is expected to continue.
What are the opportunities, the concerns, challenges, the questions? How do we navigate the inevitable changes that will accompany us? How do we make the best use of our extra years? This is new terrain. There a no precedents and few models to follow. No paths but the steps we take, one after the other.

WE DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE.

At TAA we are starting a year long Wise Aging Project, partly in cooperation with Jewish Family and Children Service and in collaboration with other community resources. Through readings from secular and Jewish texts, guest lectures, guided exercise and discussion groups, we will explore, this life stage together.

Our First event will be a presentation and discussion by Marjorie Sokoll and her staff from the JF&CF Spirituality and Aging program. We are thrilled and excited to be starting this project with you.

Marjorie U. Sokoll, M.Ed., Director, JF&CS Spirituality and Aging
Sue Spielman, MPA, Manager, Jewish Healing Connections

E. O. Wilson Quote of the Week from Greg Bover

“Competition is intense among humans, and within a group, selfish individuals always win. But in contests between groups, groups of altruists always beat groups of selfish individuals.”

E. O. Wilson (1929-    )

An Alabama native, Wilson, blinded in one eye at age 7, took up the study of insects shortly thereafter and is today recognized as the world expert on ants. A Professor of Evolutionary Biology at Harvard for forty years, he has won the Pulitzer Prize twice for books illuminating his work for scientists and laypeople alike. His work on eusocial species, (ants, termites, wasps, etc.) lead to controversy when he applied his findings to humans, positing evolutionary and genetic causes for human behavior, such as religion, rather than strictly cultural influences. It was Wilson who coined the term “biodiversity” the protection of which he continues to advocate as necessary for our existence. His recent books, The Social Conquest of Earth and Letters to a Young Scientist are highly readable accounts synthesizing his decades of research in fields of inquiry not always closely related.

Joe Orlando 2015 Gloucester Ma Candidate For Councilor At Large Election Video

To View Other Candidate submissions- https://2015gloucestermaelection.wordpress.com/

An Offer To All #GloucesterMA Election Candidates:
gmglogohires

As you all know we don’t take political stances here or endorse candidates but what I’d like to offer is an invitation for any candidate that is running for office in Gloucester to submit a video explaining why they think they are best suited for the position they are running for. The easiest way to do this would be to upload the video to YouTube.

The videos will be released once and placed on GMG at 7PM on the following night that they are received. If more than one video is submitted to me at goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com then the first one that is submitted will be aired the following evening at 7PM and the next one submitted will be posted the following evening at 7PM. There will be a link in each candidates post containing their video to goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com which will have all previously submitted candidate’s videos.

Once they are submitted they will be added to https://2015gloucestermaelection.wordpress.com/ where all the videos will be available for viewing at any time on the same page.

In the title of the video it should list the candidate’s name- position they are running for and the words “GMG submission”.

As always the GMG politics disclaimer- any post on these pages containing a candidate does not imply an endorsement for any candidate. Comments on www.goodmorninggloucester.com for these video submissions on the blog will be turned off for these posts as well.

Hopefully this will serve to help candidates get their message across.

Good luck and thank you to all that participate in the process for the love of Gloucester and making it better.

Dan Brown and his band of merry maniacs just put this concrete pour into a pretzel and spit out a masterpiece.

They said it couldn’t be done.  They said it was impossible.  Well, when all the other concrete guys run for the hills- enter Dan Brown.

Fearless- hard working- a concrete maestro.
