Chinese New Year 2010
A2AD Newswire - New York NY - Tue 09 Mar 2010
A2AD Newswire, Tue 09 Mar 2010. Chinese New Year 2010. The celebration of the Chinese New Year is also known as the Lunar New Year. It is a significant holiday in the Chinese culture celebrated on the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar. The year 2010 marks the celebration of the Metal Tiger, according to Chinese Calender it is 4708.. It started on February 14, 2010 and ends on February 2, 2011. The Tiger is the third sign in the Chinese zodiac cycle, and is a sign of courage. The tiger, a spirited and fiery warrior is admired by the ancient Chinese as the sign that keeps away the three main tragedies of a household: fire, thieves and phantoms. What’s in store for us this year? For those who want to bring luck into their homes and lives as a whole, they consult feng shui experts. With the arrival of the Metal Tiger, it has been said that 2010 would be a very challenging year for us bacause of its nature. The combination of Metal and Tiger is not, however, a totally negative one. Together they represent the kind of force necessary to accomplish the most difficult tasks. The impossible just might be possible during this exciting time. Being superstitious in nature, Chinese Feng Shui experts warns us not buy or display a tiger or lion figurine inside our homes. If ever you receive one, incinerate it, destroy it or give it to a politician as they believe that even if it was the year of the Tiger, it didn’t mean that all tigers would be lucky throughout the year. Lucky or not, it is really up to all of us how we make our lives better. All we need is to have faith in ourselves and above all, in our Supreme Being. Kung Hei Fat Choi! ###

A2AD Newswire - New York NY - Tue 09 Mar 2010
A2AD Newswire, Tue 09 Mar 2010. United States Of America CENSUS 2010. The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years. Before we begin a new chapter in American history, we need to understand who we are right now. The 2010 Census aims to count all U.S. residents—citizens and non-citizens alike. To do so, the Census Bureau: Delivers a short 10-question form to every household in America. Requires that you fill in the form to account for everyone living at your address as of April 1, 2010. Includes a prepaid envelope with the form so you can mail it back as soon as possible. The 2010 Census form is just 10 questions, such as: Name, Sex, Age, Date of birth, Hispanic origin, Race, Household relationship, If you own or rent. What is your telephone number. In areas served by the United States Postal Service, postal workers will deliver the initial mailing in mid-March 2010. In all other areas, census takers will deliver the form packages between March 1 and April 30, 2010. The Census Bureau does not send out any confirmations that your form was received. Any request for census information from the Census Bureau will be clearly identified as coming from the U.S. Census Bureau and as OFFICIAL BUSINESS of the United States. It is a federal offense for anyone to pretend they represent the Census Bureau. Before your household receives a mailed form, a phone call or a visit from the Census Bureau, you will be given a few days notice with a letter from the Census Bureau Director. The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like: Hospitals, Job training centers, Schools, Senior centers, Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects, Emergency services. The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state has in the U.S. House of Representatives. The 2010 Census Theme is 'We can't move forward until you mail it back'. In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask you the questions from the form. The majority of the country will receive English–only materials. Households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a bilingual (English/Spanish) form. Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law. ###
