The term means "old long ago" or "the good old days." • On December 31, 1907 saw the very first ball lowering in Times Square. The first New York ball weighed 700 pounds; 5 feet in diameter and was made from wood and iron. • The modern ball used today is made from Waterford Crystal and weights over 1,000 pounds. There are over 9,000 LED lights, but uses hardly any energy. The ball begins to drop at 11:59 and completes the journey exactly at midnight to ring in the New Year. • The ball was not lowered in 1942 and 1943 due to wartime restrictions. • On New Year's Eve, about 75% of American Parties are with 20 people or less.

Its primary purpose is to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to structure their lives so that they can live happier. The first part will focus primarily on arriving at a personal understanding of happiness, and learn how to become happier through “inner work” (self-understanding, personal growth, etc). The second part of the course solidifies and integrates what has been learned in Part 1 but also concentrates on how external circumstances affect our happiness and how we can structure our environment for happier living.
