It is easy to look back now at even the hard years of the Depression and realize that the paper came through all right. But the 1930s would indeed begin a long period of transition for the Gazette, as a new generation of owners begin to take an active role in the paper's operations.
In 1931, the Gazette took on a correspondent still in his teens who would be involved in the paper for almost 50 years.
John E.N. Hume Jr. had actually been involved with the Gazette from birth, through his grandfather and mother. And he would rise through the ranks with noticeable rapidity. After graduating from the University of Virginia in 1937, he was a reporter and photographer until 1940, when he became city editor, then editor in 1946. He retired in 1980, although his real involvement in the day-to-day running of the Gazette had diminished well before that.
Asked if there was pressure on the Hume brothers to join the Gazette, David Hume said no. But he did acknowledge that their mother, Gerardus Smith's daughter Anna, hoped that the boys would go into the business.
And in some ways, the Hume brothers would offer the same contract as the Smith brothers, or Anna Hume and Eleanor Green, before them. To some outsiders, the Hume brothers seem closed-mouthed, but to Jack Hume, John's son, David was the more gregarious of the two.
Next: The Gazette's origins: The paper celebrates its first half century (1940–1949)
Jack Hume recalls his father as a young man, someone who did not suffer foolishness and who took a hard line on matters such as labor unions. When Jack Hume speaks of the paper's relations with its unions as "adversarial," one again hears the echo of a conservatism that had become part of the Gazette by the mid-1930s.
For even as it was embracing one of its own, the Gazette steadily turned its back on another longtime ally over the course of the decade.
Apparently because of disenchantment with Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Gazette ceased to be a Democratic newspaper, in stance or spirit.
The 1935 elections saw the Gazette run the Democratic slate on its editorial page for the last time, and even then the paper indicated the Democratic ties had gone on too long.
The Daily Gazette of 1895 had declared Schenectady a Democratic city at heart. When the Schenectady Gazette looked at the outcome of the 1935 local races — with a Republican mayor and five out of six Republican council candidates elected — it said, "Schenectady is normally a Republican city."
In the presidential election year of 1936, the Gazette did not run the list of Democratic candidates on its editorial page. Its pre-election editorial made no choice between Roosevelt and the Republican, Alf Landon.
"The voters have their choice," it said. "They can weigh the theories of the Democratic administration in light of what it has done in the past and what it may be expected to do in the future, and they can re-elect Mr. Roosevelt. They can take the word of the Republican candidates that real recovery is possible under the leadership of Mr. Landon and at less cost and with fewer and less dangerous 'after effects' and they can elect the Kansan. … Upon the decision of the voters this week depends the path the nation will take in the next four important years."

Then, after Roosevelt was re-elected, the Gazette warned readers: "The American people in general showed that they approved in a measure certain policies and methods; but the President should not mistake his re-election as complete indorsement of policies which he undertook as emergency measures and which can be and should be abandoned with the ending of those emergencies. There were countless persons who voted for him yesterday not because they approved of drastic measures as a steady and national diet but because they agreed with him that such actions were necessary in 1933 and 1934."
Was this the dawning of what one local politician used to denounce as "the Republican Gazette?" Yes and no.
Indeed, the non-endorsement may have been something as simple as a desire not to offend any readers. David Hume said that John Green, who by 1936 was vice president of the Gazette Co., "didn't want to ruffle anybody."
But the Gazette was certainly willing to ruffle people, at least in the short term, in dealing with unions — and this in a town that had a strong labor history.
Although it paid lip service to the idea that the Gazette was a strong union shop, the company bitterly resisted attempts by the American Newspaper Guild to organize and represent newsroom employees.
The local guild was organized in 1934 and sought a contract with the Gazette from at least 1937. While it gained some ground in 1937, its attempts to negotiate a union contract came to a head in October 1938. Lacking a contract, and facing apparent stonewalling from the Gazette management, Guild members went on strike on Oct. 24.
Pickets appeared outside the newspaper and, according to guild accounts, the union also went after Gazette advertising and circulation (leaflets urged readers to drop the paper until a union settlement was reached).
The Gazette at first put on a brave face, running a front-page message to readers claiming only 10 of the company's 176 employees were striking. (The guild put the number at 12, which was more than half the newsroom staff at time.)
The paper noted the union demands it found unacceptable (including demands the union claimed it had not sought), and claimed the Gazette's contracts with typesetters' unions demonstrated that the paper was not anti-union, per se.
The latter claim was most important in what was at that time a strong union town. Nor was it lost on the Gazette that one of the people interceding on the guild's behalf was Leo Jandreau, even then a power with the electrical workers' union at the General Electric Co.
With that sort of backing, the strike had the desired result. According to guild notes, Gazette representatives agreed to return to the bargaining table three days after the strike began — provided the guild call off its assaults on the paper's circulation and advertising. The next day, an agreement was reached. Beginning reporters were guaranteed a salary of $18 a week; those with at least three years' experience were entitled to $42.
The Gazette reported the settlement in a terse two-paragraph story on Oct. 29. But the company was not done with the guild. The contract was for one year, and as that year was ending — a year, incidentally, that included some internal battles between the guild and the paper's managers — the Gazette declined to negotiate a new contract. It claimed the guild no longer represented the majority of newsroom employees, and demanded proof that the guild was the appropriate bargaining organization before contract talks would begin.
The union contract was extended for up to a year, supposedly to give the union time to make its case. Apparently, it could not do so, because that was the last guild contract ever signed at the Gazette.
Which was not to say the guild gave up entirely. More than 40 years later, in 1982, the local guild considered presenting Gazette management with a fait accompli: declaring that the union had not been officially decertified in 1939, therefore it was ready to discuss a new guild contract at the paper.

PERRY, Utah — An eight-year-old from Perry is on a mission to collect as many different police patches as he can.
In less than a month, Logan Cefalo has already received more than 1,000.
However, they aren't for him. They are for the family of Trooper Eric Ellsworth. Ellsworth died in November from injuries suffered in the line of duty.
"Well, me and my dad are real close, so I thought if I lost my dad how I would feel," said Logan.
Logan said he got the idea for the patches after speaking with Ellsworth's son Bennett at the funeral. The two are close friends.
"He had three at the viewing and just those made him happy, so I thought if he had more that might make him even happier," said Logan.
Through the power of social media, the patches began filling up the mailbox on a daily basis. They have come from five different countries and 47 different states.
"Some nights we were so busy we didn't even have time to open all of the letters because we didn't have enough time in the evening, so it started stacking up for a while," said mother Angie Cefalo.
Many of the patches come with heartfelt stories.
"Some people even unstitched them off their uniforms to send them," said Logan.
Logan and his mother have already dropped off one box of patches to the three Ellsworth children. It will be the first of many trips.
"Their eyes just exploded," said Logan. "Help them remember that people are caring about them."
If you are interested in donating a patch, you can send it to Logan Cefalo at 1015 W. 2650 South, Perry, Utah.

The Giovanni's pizzas are prepared in the traditional napoletana way, with a double leavening mixture, for a soft and digestible pizza with a perfect cooking.
The pizza condiment is made with very fresh and high quality #mozzarella and #tomato, and in addition to the traditional pizza, there are also some innovative but very tasteful proposals, such as "tomato, zucchine and pesto", or "pumpkin and bacon".
Try also the dessert, you will enjoy them.
If you go there in summertime, the restaurant offers the possibility to stay on a panoramic terrace, that is perfect to enjoy the fantastic pizza and the fresh air of the Chianti hills.
In summertime and during the weekend we suggest you to reserve.

Rising teenage star Moise Kean stepped up in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo to rescue a 1-0 win for Juventus against lowly Empoli on Saturday as the champions opened up an 18-point lead at the top of Serie A.
European football's governing body said Ronaldo was facing charges of "improper conduct" after he mimicked Diego Simeone's crotch-grabbing 'cojones' gesture in last Tuesday's 3-0 win that sent Juventus through 3-2 on aggregate.
The five-time European champions will face either Liverpool or Porto in the last four in their first appearance at the stage of the competition since 2015.

- Managing Outlook 2007 through Group Policies (Part 1)
- Managing Outlook 2007 through Group Policies (Part 3)
In the last article we saw the process involved in downloading and adding templates on both operating System Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 to add Outlook 2007 extensions to a Group Policy. In this article we are going to play with some features that are usually required for most of the administrators such as PST management, management attachment security and etc…
PST files
PST can be a nightmare for some Exchange Administrators, and they may become difficult to manage and to create a protection strategy in a medium/large organization. PSTs can be fully managed through Group Policies and through this section we will learn how to eradicate PST usage from a network or at least change some default settings.
There are some archive products that play with PST files where the archive solution can search the network and move PST files to the archive repository. In this kind of scenario, the usage of PST can be banned from the network.
All PST settings can be found on the following path in the Group Policy: User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 / Miscellaneous / PST Settings.
By default, PSTs can be added to an Outlook profile. In order to prevent new PSTs to be added, we can enable the setting Prevent users from adding PSTs to Outlook profiles and/or prevent users using Sharing-Exclusive PSTs, and then click on Enabled and select No PSTs can be added (Figure 1).
Figure 1
The result will be that an end-user will not be able to pick up any option if it tries to add a PST, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2
Now that we have blocked end-users from adding PST files, we can also configure the current PSTs to be just a read only file which the end-user would not be able to create or delete content from. The setting that controls this behavior is Prevent users from adding new content to existent PST files, shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3
Using the previous setting the result will be an error message when a user tries to add any new content to an existent PST (Figure 04).
Figure 4
Okay, let us say that we have an internal policy where PSTs are allowed locally and we want to keep all of them in a standard path to facilitate the process to protect them changing the default location for PST and also OST files. To configure this setting, double click on Default location for PST and OST files and type in the new path (environment variables can be used), as shown in Figure 5.
The new path will be used by all PST or OST created after the policy has been applied.
Figure 5
Besides of the configuration that we have just seen, we can also change other settings related to PST, such as PST maximum size, file format and etc.
Managing Attachments
Outlook 2007 handles attachments using security level. Outlook uses 3 (three) different groups: Level 1 (unsafe attachments), Level 2 (they must be saved on the disk before opened) and others attachments where the end-user is able to open an attachment directly from Outlook.
We can use Group Policies to add and remove extensions from level 1 and level 2 groups. Just to keep us on the same page, these are the default extensions included in the Level 1 of Outlook 2007: .ade, .adp, .app, .asp, .bas, .bat, .cer, .chm, .cmd, .com, .cpl, .crt, .csh, .der,, .exe, .fxp, .gadget, .hlp, .hta, .inf, .ins, .isp, .its, .js, .jse, .ksh, .lnk, .mad, .maf, .mag, .mam, .maq, .mar, .mas, .mat, .mau, .mav, .maw, .mda, .mdb, .mde, .mdt, .mdw, .mdz, .msc, .msh, .msh1, .msh2, .mshxml, .msh1xml, .msh2xml, .msi, .msp, .mst, .ops, .pcd, .pif, .plg, .prf, .prg, .pst, .reg, .scf , .scr, .sct, .shb, .shs, .ps1, .ps1xml, .ps2, .ps2xml, .psc1, .psc2, .tmp , .url, .vb, .vbe, .vbs, .vsmacros, .vsw, .ws, .wsc, .wsf, .wsh, .xnk.
If you do not get the picture about attachments yet, we can look at Figure 6 where the attachment with .xxx extension has a Level 1 assigned to it. If you look at that figure you will see that there is no way for the user to play with that file and Outlook displays Outlook block access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: <attachment name>.
Figure 6
However, if we have the same .XXX extension is configured as Level 2, the end user will be able to see the file on the message (Figure 7), but, the message in Figure 8 will be displayed which will force the end user to save the file on the disk and does not allow it to run directly from Outlook 2007.
Figure 7
Figure 8
In order to manage the file extensions for Level 1 and Level 2 we need to change the Outlook Security Mode setting. Expand Security, and click on Security Forms Settings. Let's select Enabled and select Use Outlook Security Group Policy, and click on OK, as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9
Now that we defined the Outlook Security Mode in the previous step, we can expand the Attachment Security and on this location we can either Add, Remove or Disable Level 1 and Level 2 as well. In Figure 10 we are adding the extension XXX to the level 1, as soon as the client receives the Group Policy definitions and Outlook is restarted the extension XXX will be considerate level 1 which does not allow an end-user to play with the file.
Figure 10
We can also add/remove Level 1 and Level 2 extension, allow Level 1 to be displayed in Outlook and so on.
Blocking account types
Outlook 2007 supports a variety of account types to be configured through Outlook profile creation process. Using group policies we can control which protocols will be available to the end user during the profile creation. We can prevent these following protocols to be configured: HTTP, Exchange, POP3, IMAP4 and any other type.
To block specific protocols, the option Prevent users from adding e-mail account types has to be configured for that. Click on Enable and tick all services that you want to prevent to the final users (Figure 11).
Figure 11
The result of the previous configurations is that the service configured in the Group Policy will not show up during the profile creation.
In this article we went over the process of configuring some Outlook 2007 settings using Group Policy. You can use this article series as a base to create your own policies based on your company requirements.

Kitchen Remodeling, Kitchen Cabinet Design, Bathroom Cabinetry, Outdoor Cabinets, Summer Kitchens, and More in Pinecrest, Coral Gables, Kendall, Key Largo, Miami, Palmetto Bay, and Surrounding Areas
Trimline cabinetry was founded in 1964 by Lester Collins manufacturing custom laminate (formica) cabinetry in his own shop. As his business grew, he made the decision to transition to higher quality manufactured and custom made-to-order wood and laminate cabinetry.
In 1976, we relocated to our present-day location at 10001 South Dixie Highway in Pinecrest, Florida. That's over 45 years in the SAME location. This consumer-friendly place became Trimline Design Center. Nancy Collins Ware joined Lester and Kathleen Collins in the family business directly after college, once she acquired her design degree in 1984 beginning the next chapter in Trimline's history.

An Open Letter from the Owner
When something has always been a part of your life, it is officially a part of who you are. Before Trimline Design Center ever became my livelihood, it was my daycare center, playground, and all-around hangout. I remember watching my Dad talking with people, and it always seemed to me that this was never something he had to do… it was a choice he loved making every single day. Dad and Mom taught me the value of working hard, the joy of doing something you love, and the pride you find in doing everything with integrity. There are few things I enjoy more than helping people create a space that makes them happy. At the end of the day, that's really what we're all about. Thank you for visiting our website… we look forward to helping you!

How to DIY 6 Spring Eyeshadow Trends Using 1 Palette
In the beauty realm, one of the most challenging things a girl can do is take makeup from the runway or the pages of a magazine and try to make it work IRL. Not only can it be hard to re-interpret some of the more off-the-wall looks, but when models have teams of professionals sculpting their features, the task can feel pretty overwhelming when it's up to Y.O.U. Well, we're here to say it shouldn't be, not when you really break down the high-fashion looks to their beauty basics core, which is exactly what we're doing here. We picked out six of our favorite big-in-2015 eyeshadow trends and hacked how to replicate them into super wearable versions by — get this — using just ONE eyeshadow palette, and you might already have it in your makeup stash!
Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Paletteis a little pricey, but this neutral-shaded baby will last you a good year or two even if you use it daily. Get excited — these looks are so simple and so versatile.
Grab that palette, get to know the hues and let's get started!
A luminous white eyelid is a go-to for a minimalist gal who wants to branch out without being too dramatic.
To get this look, use a flat eyeshadow brush to tap a Virgin, a shimmering cream shadow, onto your brow bones and the inner and outer corners of your eyes. For a more dimensional look, sweep Sin, a shimmering shadow with a more rose undertone, onto the center of your eyelids and blend into the spots you applied Virgin.
Bright Eyes
A nude face and a matte brown eyelid will give you a natural-feeling boldness while maintaining an understated vibe.
For a very Olsen Twins take on a smokey eye, sweep Buck into the creases of your eyelids with a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Then use Side Car, a silvery bronze shadow, to darken the center and outer corners of your eyes. Then, gently smudge along your lash line with Side Car with a less fluffy eyeshadow brush.
Brown Lid
Purple Smokey Eye
Colorful smokey eyes are on top of the list for this season's biggest shadow trends, with a purple hue for the win. It's a twist on the classic look that's a little softer but still ready for date night.
Start off by sweeping the bronzy purple Toasted from the inside corners to the center of your eyelids using a flat eyeshadow brush. Then, with a fluffy eyeshadow brush, apply Hustle, a deeper purple shimmering shadow, in circular motions starting just slightly outside the corners of your eyes and blending into the outside creases of your eyes. Using a smaller, more firm smudge shadow brush, sweep Toasted along your lower lash line to really sell the smoldering look.
Bronzed Lid
Good thing the bronzed goddess look isn't going away anytime soon. This season, we're focusing the glow on just the eyelids for a more subtle take on the beachy trend. You can even pull this shadow look off with minimal makeup and no mascara if you were in a pinch for time.
Start off by applying Half Baked, a golden shimmer shadow, all over your eyelid using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Be sure to avoid the creases of your eyelids. Then use a firm, flat angled brush to apply Darkhorse, a cool shimmering brown shadow, into and slightly above your upper lash line. This is going to help give the illusion of thicker lashes as well as add a pop of drama.
Pop Of Color
On the runway, a pop of color tends to be dramatic. Here, we're turning it into a wear-everyday look by using a metallic shadow instead of a vibrant hue and using a makeup hack to bring out the boldness.
Dip a flat eyeshadow brush into a bit of water and dab it on a paper towel to remove the excess. Before you apply to your lids, sweep the shadow on the back of your hand to make sure the brush is not too wet (the shadow should gently glide on as if it were cream-based). Once you get the shadow/water ratio down, apply a thin layer of Gunmetal, a metallic blueish-gray shadow, from your lash line to half way up your eyelid. Keep the lines clean and sharp and the depth of shadow even throughout the almond shape you are applying. Notice how when Gunmetal mixes with water, it gives off a muted blue tone that's just bold enough.
Graphic Liner
Wearing graphic eyeliner on the daily can be challenging, but at the end of the day IS definitely doable! For this tutorial, you want to take the shape with a grain of salt. If you have big eyes, maybe play with shortening the length of the lines to help balance your eye shape, or if your eyes are smaller, make them a little longer.
Use a pointed eyeliner brush dipped in water to pick up Creep, a deep black shimmering shadow. Do a test swipe on the back of your hand before applying a cat eye. We drew one that blends across your upper lash line and flicks out slightly beyond the inside corners of your eyes. The trick here is to make sure both sides are symmetrical. The beauty of using eyeshadow to achieve this graphic liner look is that it will naturally appear softer than it would if you were to use an eyeliner that has a much more prominent pigment.
Now do you see why we consider it a can't-live-without palette?

PHP Application Design
Created in 2009
Building the festival registration system in PHP really helped me develop a skill to foresee the needs of an application. When this system was completed it was used for four separate festivals, each with their own needs.
Many of the elements it had to serve included: registering users, handling merchandise, meal plans, work exchange, community service, scheduling events, pricing cutoffs, reports and much more.
However, at the time I created this code I had not learned about object oriented programming so the code was rather bloated.
Most of the code I was able to wade through pretty easy. The work I had done on the Email Integration really prepared me for this. However, without the object oriented programming principles, the resulting code involved a lot of multi-dimensional arrays as well as serialized data.

It may sound counterintuitive, but the cancellation of Nord Stream 2 might be in Russia's best interests: the shift from well-tested on-land infrastructure over to the risky undersea pipelines threatens Gazprom's most valuable asset – the trust of its customers, writes Sergiy Makogon.
Sergiy Makogon is the director-general of GTSOU (Gas TSO of Ukraine).
Nord Stream 2 (NS2) is a solution in search of a problem. If built, this Baltic Sea gas pipeline would contribute precisely nothing to European energy security. It is a small wonder that Poland's antitrust watchdog recognized the dangers it poses to market competition and fined Gazprom €6.5bn.
On the other side of the Atlantic, the opposition to this perilous project is a matter of bipartisan consensus, as the U.S. Congress contemplates new sanctions to be included in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act.
If Nord Stream 2 is not stopped now, the security of the EU's energy supplies will decline and its solidarity will be weakened. Unquestionably, Europe, Germany, Ukraine, and even Russia will be better off without it.
Looking at the 2020-2030 decade, Gazprom estimated its annual sales to Europe at ~200 bcm per year. Coronavirus outbreak has already dampened those projections, but even if we stay with this optimistic scenario, shouldn't we question the necessity of additional gas infrastructure when the existing transit capacity is 270 bcm per year?
The problem with the current discourse around NS2 is that 146 bcm of Ukraine's transit capacity is taken for granted. Year after year, Nord Stream 1 suspends operations for regular maintenance that lasts ten days on average.
How will this work in the future, especially in the scenario where the vast majority of Russian gas reaches Europe via undersea pipelines, and on-land infrastructure is scaled back?
All too often, the defenders of the new Russian pipelines forget to mention the orders of magnitude difference in the risk factor for subsea infrastructure. "Repairing a land pipeline takes … 3 or 4 days, and … repairing an offshore pipeline takes weeks." This is how a German energy analyst, Dr. Frank Umbach, described his concerns with this project.
Surely, our system isn't immune to incidents and scheduled repairs. The important difference, however, is that Ukraine's 146 bcm "pipe" is actually a multiplex grid of 4 pipelines with numerous interconnections and exit points. We have proven the reliability of transit through Ukraine time and again.
During the 40 years of transit, we never suspended flow to Europe for technical reasons. Multiple network redundancies complemented by the largest gas storage in Europe are the best guarantee of uninterrupted supplies.
So, either we keep a robust and diversified transit network inclusive of overland and undersea routes or shift towards a system heavily dependent on submarine pipelines. In this scenario, a single company will control direct access to the EU market. That would undermine European supply security and subvert the market competition.
The proponents of Nord Stream 2 often talk about the cost savings. Even if this pans out for Germany, gas prices will likely increase in Eastern Europe, Italy, and the other EU member states.
No matter what models we use in forecasting, it is clear that a dominant market player's calculus points towards higher prices over time. How much negotiating power will European customers have after Gazprom owns and operates every supply route, and the vendor lock-in takes hold?
The only credible check on monopolistic behavior is the competitive pressure from other suppliers. EU must prioritize diversification of energy sources, not routes.
"Gazprom remains the sole entity with the right to sell natural gas [via pipelines] to markets beyond Russia" states the report on Russia's market manipulation published by the European Commission on 23 October.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Russia's own gas producers, including giants such as Navatek, Rosneft, and Lukoil, are shut out of the pipelined gas exports to the EU. The gas producers from Central Asia, which supplied Europe in the early 2000s, could contribute significantly to the continent's energy security if Gazprom didn't block their access to pipelines.
If the lower gas prices were the objective, Nord Stream 2 is most certainly not the answer. However, the larger problem with this ill-fated project is not the flimsy commercial justification but a wide range of negative externalities, from the elevated environmental risk to further politicization of energy.
No cost savings could compensate for the damage to European unity, the moral hazard of exemptions to fair competition, and the weakened regional security.
It may sound counterintuitive, but the cancellation of NS2 might be in Russia's and Gazprom's best interests too. The shift from well-tested on-land infrastructure over to the risky undersea pipelines threatens Gazprom's most valuable asset – the trust of its customers.
With the existing transit capacity of 270 bcm/year and the projected transit volume of 200 bcm/year for the decade to come, we should be looking at system optimization rather than wasting resources on a superfluous and geopolitically untenable new infrastructure.
NS2 makes zero economic sense, zero geopolitical sense, and zero environmental sense. Canceling it, on the other hand, will be a boon for European unity. Indeed, if the construction stops now, Germany, the EU, Ukraine, and Russia will all be better off.

I'm not sure that's quite the same thing as a mount point. If I understand what you're saying correctly (not guaranteed), a translator is a new fs-level inode type as stored on disk. Touching this inode fires up some mechanism (based I assume on the inode contents) that then handles all vnode operations and can thereby appear as any arbitrary kind of vnode/inode. It is thus more or less a generalization of named pipes or device special files, in the sense that these things are a magic fs-level objects such that touching them fires up a non-fs kernel mechanism that handles all subsequent vnode operations. While this facility can be used as an automounter, in the case where what the translator does is masquerade as a directory and mount a fs on that directory, it's not really quite the same as a mount point. Of course this may not be quite the same thing as what you have in mind. Naive question (since I haven't read any more than this thread yet): does the implementation you're intending allow a translator to give the appearance of itself being a (different) translator? -- David A.

Think the Honolulu Zoo's just a spot to take the kids on weekends, a place to let 'em run wild and be animals themselves? Well, it is, and Ed Yee, for one, likes that unpredictable element the zoo offers. But for Yee, the zoo's not a place to cut loose, it's a place to learn discipline -- the discipline of photography.
For some 10 years, Yee has been teaching night photography classes at Kaimuki Community School. He takes his students on field trips to Honolulu Zoo because "the zoo presents a lot of challenging situations." Lighting is a big problem. Not to mention the animals.
"You gotta know animal behavior," Yee says, explaining that it's best to shoot right when the zoo opens because it's cooler. When it's hot, the animals hide.
A few years back, a bunch of Yee's students were so inspired they formed the Eyes of Hawaii Camera Club. The 40-member group meets monthly and usually takes a trip each year. The club has been all over the United States, from the neighbor islands to Alaska to Yosemite and Monterey Bay. Yee is a member himself.
Daniel Kinoshita and Ricky Oshima, whose works have graced many a "Portfolio" page, belong to Eyes of Hawaii. Expect to see more from the club on these pages.

|Commander K. at Churchill War Rooms, London
Sixty-nine years ago today the Allies stormed ashore in the D-day landings on the Normandy coast of France. The Americans landed on Utah and "bloody" Omaha beaches. The British arrived on Sword and Gold beaches. The Canadians landed on Juno beach. The Rangers scaled up the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc and disabled the German guns which threatened the landings. The American Airborne divisions (82nd and 101st) had landed the previous evening around midnight near St. Mere Eglise, while the British Paras secured Pegasus bridge.
The liberation of France began, not on June 6, 1944, but, in fact, in September of 1943 with the liberation of Corsica (http://americanconservativeinlondon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/corsica-in-world-war-ii.html).
Allied planes were painted with black and white "D-day stripes" to avoid friendly fire errors that had plagued the invasion of Sicily in 1943 (http://americanconservativeinlondon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/a-hard-lesson-from-world-war-ii-and-d.html).
James Doohan, who later became "Scottie" on the original TV series Star Trek, landed that day with the Canadian troops on Juno beach. He was shot six times by friendly fire that evening, but survived (http://americanconservativeinlondon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/james-doohan-and-d-day.html).
Billie Harris, piloting a P-51 Mustang, crashed and was killed in France leaving behind the last D-day widow on this day (http://americanconservativeinlondon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/last-d-day-widow.html).
The D-day spies managed to utterly fool the Germans into believing that the landings would take place at the Pas de Calais and not Normandy (http://americanconservativeinlondon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/double-cross-d-day-spies.html).

The month of June with its graduations, farewells, sunny days and D-day commemorations is the perfect time to enjoy Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again.

I have to disagree with some of author Dean Wesley Smith's conclusions about short fiction publishing, in his article "When to Mail Short Fiction To Traditional Publishers".
First, he argues that there are only 4 or 5 science fiction magazines worth submitting to and only 2 or 3 for fantasy.  If you've submitted a story to those top few places and none of them want to publish it, he thinks you're better off self-publishing it as an e-book and starting to earn royalties from it immediately, rather than keeping it on submission to successively less high-paying and less prestigious magazines until someone finally accepts it.
He does offer the caveats that he's only offering his opinion, that every writer has to decide for himself or herself which magazines are worth submitting to, that there are no right or wrong answers. He's outlining his own strategy for deciding whether to try traditional or self-publishing for a short story in the hope that seeing his thought process will be helpful for other writers. He also suggests that if a writer doesn't already have a track record and fan base, keeping a story on submission for longer might make more sense than self-publishing.
However, I'm not sure how he came to the conclusion that there are only 4 or 5 places worth sending science fiction to and only 2 or 3 for fantasy. And I'm surprised that the only science fiction magazines he mentions by name in the article (Asimov's Science Fiction and Analog) are both print magazines. Especially since some of the highest-paying and most prestigious magazines these days are online.
Here's a non-exhaustive list of magazines that publish fantasy and science fiction and pay at least 5 cents per word. I'm not distinguishing between print and online magazines in the list, because I submit my stories to both kinds. If anything, I have a slight preference for online magazines, especially online magazines that offer the stories as free content, because people are more likely to read your story if they can click on a link and immediately read it without paying anything (especially compared to the likelihood that they'll order a print magazine off the Internet or go to a bookstore to look for it):
Analog Science Fiction and Fact (SF)
Arc (SF)
Asimov's Science Fiction (SF)
Beneath Ceaseless Skies (F)
Buzzy Mag (F, SF)
Clarkesworld Magazine (F, SF)
Daily Science Fiction (F, SF)
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (F, SF)
Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show (F, SF)
Shimmer (F)
Tor.com (F, SF)
Waylines Magazine (F, SF)
This is a deliberately conservative list. I left off magazines that are often closed to unsolicited submissions or that only accept a limited number of submissions each day, as these practices could be seen as hindrances to authors who want to submit stories there. I also omitted publications that have themes for each issue or give preferential treatment to certain nationalities. Otherwise I could have added AE: The Canadian Science Fiction Review, Apex Magazine, ChiZine, COSMOS, Crossed Genres Magazine, Crowded Magazine, Lightspeed, Nightmare Magazine, Strange Horizons, and others.
I still ended up with 11 excellent places to send science fiction and 10 for fantasy. If I restrict the list even more to those considered "professional" by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, I get 7 for science fiction and 6 for fantasy.
Smith's main argument is that an author loses money from potential sales the longer a story remains unpublished, and if you keep a story "in the mail" until it sells to a magazine or anthology, it might take years. (Of course, "in the mail" is an outdated term; of the magazines on my list, only Fantasy & Science Fiction still requires paper submissions sent through the mail. Everyone else prefers submissions sent electronically.)
The part about taking years is absolutely true. I've had all my short stories traditionally published in magazines before self-publishing them, and it's taken between 1.5 and 7 years from first submission to publication. Losing money from potential sales? Sometimes true. Smith estimates that you can make $12.50 a month self-publishing a short story. Many authors can and do. Many others do not.
I've averaged $21 a month from sales of "The Shoemaker's Daughter", but that seems to have gotten a boost from the coincidental similarity of its title to that of Adriana Trigiani's best-selling novel The Shoemaker's Wife. My average monthly profits for each of the other 6 stories I've self-published range from 13 to 24 cents. At that rate, even if I sold a 5000-word story for 1 cent per word, I would be losing money on potential sales only if it took longer than 17 years.
The break-even point for a $10 sale, the lowest payment I've ever received from a magazine (for "The Shoemaker's Daughter", interestingly enough), would be somewhere between 3.5 and 6.5 years ("The Shoemaker's Daughter" took 3 years). So should I give up on traditional publication after 3 or 4 years if a story has been rejected by every magazine that pays $15 or more? Maybe. But at my current level of unknown-ness, I think that getting published in even the most obscure magazines gives me a better chance of being discovered by a new reader who decides to look for more of my stories than self-publishing does.
Because traditionally publishing a story in a magazine doesn't rule out self-publishing later. When you sell a story, the magazine doesn't demand exclusive rights to it forever. Once the contracted period of exclusivity has ended (anywhere from 0 to 18 months after publication, in my experience), you can go ahead and self-publish. You just can't do it the other way around, usually, because most magazines don't pay much, if anything, for previously published stories. And that includes self-published.
I agree with Dean Wesley Smith that if an author is likely to make $12.50 per month from each short story they publish, it's smart not to keep it on submission to magazines for too many years. But I also think it's unwise, if you're a new author, to assume that you'll be making that much. And if you write short fiction, new magazines are starting up all the time. Don't rule them out just because they didn't exist 15 years ago. Self-publishing as we know it today didn't exist 15 years ago, either.

17. Teaching for Memorization
All of us want to think that we are biblical in our teaching methodology since we recognize that the Word of God is not only the foundation for the content that we teach, but also our example for technique. Almost every book on teaching emphasizes the dialogue approach, which Jesus frequently used, and urges the participation method, based on His example. Such an emphasis is correct, but sometimes we forget the great heritage which the Old Testament Jewish faith provides for Christian education. The focus on the family, the centricity of Scripture in all learning, and the later commitment to quality learning in the synagogue schools are all worthy of our study. The one teaching methodology which reigned supreme throughout all of those Old Testament centuries was catechism, or memorization.
In his History of Christian Education, C. B. Eavey tells us of the mnemonic drill which took place at home from the earliest years of the child's life. "As soon as he was able to speak, his parents began to teach him words and sentences. The first memory tasks were mainly blessings, especially those that formed part of the daily prayers. The child rose from bed with one of these upon his lips and went to bed reciting words proclaiming belief in the one God. Much stress was placed upon memorization. As he grew older, he was required to memorize portions of the Scriptures. The mother had a large part in the training of the earliest years, but it was considered the duty of the father to assume responsibility for directing this more advanced phase of the child's education" (Moody Press, Chicago, Ill.).
Memorization may be defined simply as the power, function, or act of reproducing and identifying what has been heard or experienced. It has been suggested that there are at least four steps in the memory process:
1. Impression—the original, conscious, meaningful experience itself
2. Retention—the process by which the experience is retained in the mind
3. Recall—the act of calling upon the mind for certain needed past experiences or ideas
4. Recognition—the recalled memory as an experience which the individual has had previously
Not all memorization is of the kind that we have come to call "rote." Rote memory describes the exact reproduction of past experiences, such as the memorization of a verse of Scripture which a student has learned. It is perfectly legitimate, however, to use memorization of general content and context of information as an approach to teaching. For example, one might memorize the general theme of each chapter in the Book of Acts although none of his reproduced content is exactly in the words of the text itself.
Values of Memorization Teaching
Memorization can be enjoyable for students. Too often we think of it only as a regular discipline which requires concentration and drill. But there is intrinsic motivation and instant reinforcement in the child's learning program when he realizes that he can accurately reproduce information which he has studied. Incidentally, one of the most popular types of adult classes in some Sunday Schools recently is the Bible memory class.
Although a valid end in itself, the memorization of Scripture and other valuable Christian truth is also an important means to other ends. For example, one's teaching of others is greatly facilitated by the content he has memorized as a student. Personal witnessing will be enhanced by one's ability to plug in important passages of Scripture to support and strengthen his case for the Gospel.
Some educators would argue that the very process of discipline in memorization is a valid and important technique. It is mind training of the highest order and will develop proficiency which is applicable in the entire development of one's educational pattern.
God has promised us that there is an inherent spiritual value in memorization of Scripture. David once wrote, "Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee" (Ps. 119:11). Although later subconscious recall is certainly not the first aim of Scripture memorization, many young people and adults who were trained in the memorization of God's truth while children, later came to a real awakening of spiritual values because of that vital information hidden in their hearts.
Problems in Memorization Teaching
A constantly hovering cloud over memorization teaching is the possibility of substituting words for meaning. Sometimes children reciting memory verses seem too much like the trained seal who has been conditioned to bounce a rubber ball on his nose. They become performers whose striking ability is fascinating to the audience but has little inherent value or understanding to the performer.
Of course this does not have to be the case. Those of us who take a serious view of the inspiration and authority of the Bible will always be concerned that the experiences which a child has teach him the meaning of God's truth, but that meaning is inherent in the words of God's truth. However, the extraction of the meaning from the word is not always automatic. That is where the role of the teacher comes in.
Eleanor Morrison and Virgil Foster, in their book Creative Teaching in the Church (mentioned earlier), suggest that the child experiences God's truth even before its words have much meaning for him. "The ground for teaching and learning is in present experiences. This is true of all ages, but especially so of preschool children. We do not, therefore, teach preschoolers many of the words of the Bible, which are beyond their comprehension. We attempt to provide experiences for which they know that love and forgiveness which are a part of God's word to man. Since the deepest experiences of life are often beyond words, the challenge to the preschool teacher is to act out the Christian Gospel."
I suspect that you and I might want to pay more attention to the text of Scripture than do the authors of this book. Nevertheless, what they suggest is essentially correct. The experiences which a child has (for that matter, the experiences of teens and adults as well) support or reject the essence of the word we are trying to teach. His confrontation with the words of Scripture is made meaningful by his confrontation with the Word as lived and shown to him by his parents and teachers.
Another problem with memorization teaching is that sometimes the process can become dull. I have already suggested that it does not have to be so, for memorization can be interesting, even exciting. But if we "sell" the technique as a hardship instead of a blessing, as a discipline instead of a delight, we build in negative attitudinal responses when we want precisely the reverse. Of course, the responses we get in any kind of teaching are determined largely by the way the presentation is made.
We have come a long way from the New England primer stuffed down the throats of reticent pupils by a stern schoolmaster with a stick. Or at least we should have come a long way from those days when learning was seen to be a necessary evil. Let us show our students—children, youth, or adults—that learning is the mother of many of the happy experiences of life, and that memorization is one of her happy children.
Principles for Effective Memorization
In order to make memorization a pleasant and productive skill, try to follow these guidelines when employing this teaching technique:
Remember that the memorization of general content can be as important and valuable a learning experience as rote memorization.
Master all the memorization which you require of your students.
Use helpful visual aids in teaching memory work. These will include pictures, flash cards, chalkboard, flannelgraph, and various kinds of projection.
Remember that review is the key to retention. Your students may memorize information and then forget it days or weeks later unless you subject them to frequent recall.
Always emphasize understandings and meanings. Do not let students of any age memorize just for the sake of performance, but make sure they understand the significance the learning has in their own lives.

Captain Kirk's Uniform Top In Star Trek Appeared Gold On Screen, But Was Actually?
Answer: Green
There are certain undeniable and comfortable truths in the Star Trek: TOS universe. Humanity exists in a peaceful and united federation that engages in deep space exploration. Alien species are almost always bipedal and Vulcans, especially, are level-headed and logical. Aboard the federation starships that meet these aliens, engineering and communication officers wear red, science and medical officers wear blue, and commanding officers wear gold, like the fearless and charming Captain James T. Kirk.
Except, Kirk didn't, despite our collective understanding and recollection of the matter, wear gold. In fact, the gold tint of his uniform top and those of his lieutenants was a trick of the filming process and stage lighting. The actual uniform fabric was, by design and actual implementation, green. The color scheme that Gene Roddenberry had originally intended was green for command, red for engineering and communications, and blue for medical and science, but alas, thwarted by the lighting, the film, and the particular fabric the main uniform tops were made from, the end result was gold.
If you're really curious to see what the green shade should have looked like, you can actually take a peek at some old Star Trek footage to find out. In a select few episodes, Kirk is seen wearing an alternative uniform top that is constructed from a different fabric. According to the cast and crew, the fabrics of the secondary and primary uniform tops looked absolutely identical in person, but they appeared very differently on film. If you check out the iconic episode "The Trouble with Tribbles", you'll see Kirk wearing one of the alternative uniform tops that comes across loud and clear as a 1960s-era avocado green.

Vauxall Cascada
First Look – Vauxhall Cascada
Vauxhall have released the first pictures of their new convertible, a four-seat, fabric-roof number which will make its UK bow in March 2013.
The new Vauxhall Cascada will house one of three engines. The entry-level engine is a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol unit with 137bhp. There's a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine offering 168bhp and a 2.0-litre diesel offering up 163bhp. Vauxhall promise more powerful versions in due course.
Elsewhere, if the Cascada gets out of control and rolls, spring-loaded bars are automatically deployed behind the rear seats. These bad boys are also triggered during impacts, along with airbags The Cascada bodyshell is almost 50 per cent stiffer than its open topped predecessor, the Astra Twin Top. The Cascada will use Vauxhall's HiPerStrut front suspension from Insignia VXR, so expect decent handling. The Cascada will feature Vauxhall's FlexRide, a fully adaptive control system, which adapts to suit driving styles and road conditions. Flexride can be over-ridden with one of three driver modes.
Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall's chairman and managing director, noted:
"The full-size convertible sector tends only to be occupied by very high-priced cars from premium manufacturers. With the Cascada, we're offering customers high levels of equipment, technology and luxury but at an affordable price."
According to Vauxhall, the hood is made from a fabric that offers superior acoustic and thermal insulation. Apparently, there's a layer of polyester fleece between the outer and inner linings. The opening time on the hood is around 17 seconds and will open at anything up to 30mph. The roof is available in three colours

Horror Inspired by Our Times
By: Jessica Scarimbolo
It's the 7th season of FX's "American Horror Story" and director Ryan Murphy is going into uncharted territory by dramatically and gruesomely displaying the viewers' political reality onto our television screens.
However, the result was low ratings.
American Horror Story: Cult follows the aftermath of the 2017 United States election– definitely a real life horror story for many. This season weaves together extreme narratives from both ends of the political spectrum.
Apparently, Murphy has not heard a simple rule of thumb; do not talk about politics in mixed company. Blood, of course, ensues.
One plot line follows an uncompromising Republican and current cult leader, Kai Anderson played by Evan Peters, who wreaks havoc throughout the city by manipulating the public's fear.
As for the liberal or democratic portion, it follows a same-sex couple, Ally and Ivy Mayfair-Richards, played by Sarah Paulson and Alison Pill, who with their son, are being terrorized by Kai and his cult members for reasons still unknown.
Being apart of a same-sex couple myself, the show seems refreshing; it validated some fears that I too had the day after the election.
Considering Murphy is a gay man himself, he must have been aware that this season would relate to people in the LGBTQ community.
The show's reach is not limited to the LGBTQ community though. We can all see something of ourselves in one aspect of the show or another.
The Hollywood Reporter sat down with Murphy where he stated that the show reflects what everyone felt the night of the election; we all lost our minds.
He feels that even today, everyone is at one another's throat; we're either on one side or the other.
Perhaps for this same reason, the depiction of sensitive and close-to-home topics, is why not everyone is into this AHS season.
The show's premiere episode, which aired on September 5, received lower ratings than previous seasons.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, AHS: Cult had 3.93 million views, a 24 percent drop from previous season premieres.
Maybe AHS is just getting old. The audience can be getting tired of constantly seeing the same actors and actresses.
Each season of AHS follows a completely different plot line and some of the stars remain playing different roles.
As this season's AHS ventures into controversial subjects and maintains its gloriously gruesome scenes, it still keeps me at the edge of my seat.
This season may not be doing as well as, far as the ratings, but I think we can all agree that this is a bold, courageous move for Murphy who is clearly using his show as a way to release a political statement under the form of an allegory.

EPA completes five-year review of base cleanup
CAMP EDWARDS — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced this week it has completed its five-year review of the ongoing cleanup at Joint Base Cape Cod.
The five-year review is required under Superfund legislation, which oversees the Air Force portion of the cleanup at the base. The review is done "to determine whether the implemented remedies at the sites continue to be protective of human health and the environment," according to the EPA.
Much of the contamination at the base was caused by fuel or chemical spills.
A separate cleanup at the base by the Army's Impact Area Groundwater Study Program is under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The EPA's five-year review outlines the types of contamination in the groundwater at the base and the remedies that are in place and provides some accounting of progress in cleaning up the pollution.
The review is available online at www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/otis. The reports are also available at libraries on the Upper Cape.

What we Learned at CPhI 2014
Yesterday I wrote about attending CPhI. Today I am going to summarise what we learned from the experience in our CPhI Europe 2014 Review.
I bumped into a range of customers and suppliers at the conference, which is always valuable; networking and relationship building are important. But if I'm honest, the most valuable thing I brought away from CPhI was how much it taught me about exhibiting.
To begin, here are a handful of tips for exhibitors:
In this post:
Be Sociable
If you're manning a stand, spend as much time as you are able on your feet, engaging with people as they walk past. Don't hide inside your stand and allow people to drift by without looking – every person who does this is a missed opportunity. Make eye contact. Smile. Break the ice. It's not rocket science, yet many people fail to grasp even the basics (some examples of which can be found towards the end of this article!).
Arrange Meetings Beforehand
The more groundwork you can do prior to an exhibition, the more you will get out of it while you are there. Review the list of attendees and highlight any you want to touch base with. It's a given that you should consider potential customers, but don't neglect existing customers or suppliers. Many of the larger stands at CPhI had integrated meeting rooms – but there were plenty of communal meeting rooms and breakout areas which could be used by anyone.
Be Specific with your Offering
Don't go to an event claiming that you can provide everything under the sun as this will only waste time. I wouldn't, for example, describe ReAgent as a 'Toll Manufacturer' because this could mean anything. People's requirements are much more specific, so exhibitors should be precise about their capabilities.
It would be a lot more valuable to claim ReAgent was a 'Toll Blending and Packing Company, able to handle batches up to 7,000 Litres' with class 7 cleanroom capabilities.' (Incidentally, if you are looking for a Toll Blending and Packing Company, able to handle batches up to 7,000 Litres' with class 7 cleanroom capabilities, let me know!).
Be Interactive
Stands which have some sort of audience participation work best. Maybe you can enter people into a prize draw if they sign up to your newsletter? Maybe you can offer them a freebie if they leave a business card? Whatever it is, find something valuable to offer. The more value you give away, the more people are willing to give you in return.
To cite an example at CPhI, Samsung had a particularly innovative stand where you could post pills into the mouths of virtual people and TV screens displayed how they would be processed inside the body. The display was to demonstrate how different pill coatings were designed to be ingested at different stages in the digestion process; some pill coatings being dissolved relatively early in the digestion process (in the stomach) and others relatively late (in the lower intestine).
CPhI Europe 2014 Review: Characteristics of a Great Stand
There was a wide range of exhibitors at CPhI. Companies of every size and shape imaginable were present, from all over the world, with budgets ranging from shoe strings to blank chequebooks! But you don't need a huge floor plan or a big budget to make a good stand; it just needs to be welcoming, engaging and concise.
The best stands were 'clean' and 'clinical'. They had an open-plan feel to them, with displays clearly stating what they did. They had comfy furniture and integrated meeting space where possible.
At the 'extreme' end of the scale, the major players were quite obviously trying to out-do one another by having the biggest, most impressive stand. I admit I did see some incredible stands with some amazing features. I saw stands with built-in bars where they would hold networking events, integrated private meeting rooms, dancers, singers, live demonstrations… pretty much everything you can possibly imagine.
Nonetheless, I couldn't help but feel that some of the bigger stands were a little 'over-the-top' and the companies doing this were doing it 'because they could' rather than because it was commercially sound. One stand, for example, had two grand pianos. Another stand had a VW camper van inside it. I'd bet any money that I could have halved the budgets of some of these companies and achieved exactly the same end result from the exhibition.
At the other end of the scale, some of the stands were utterly atrocious. Many were unwelcoming in their design, or staffed by people who were unwelcoming in their nature. Some of the furniture looked like it was about to fall apart. There were also loads of stands which were poorly laid out, cluttered, or minimalist beyond any logic.
Thus, I present to you the Good, the Bad and the Ugly from CPhI 2014!
The Good
This company had a double-decker stand, with private meeting rooms above – an innovative use of space, albeit a costly one!
This company went for an open-plan stand with displays clearly conveying what they did, with plenty of meeting space:
The Bad
I'm all for minimalism but this company has taken it way too far:
As for this one, it's difficult to criticise… because there isn't anything there to criticise:
….And The Ugly!
Finally, no matter how bad it gets, never fall asleep when you're manning a stand – it will do you more harm than good!

Dealers Report Parts Arriving Within One Week For 2016 Chevrolet SS Seat Belt Recall
Sponsored Links
Many 2016 Chevrolet SS sedans may soon be ready to head to their rightful homes. After General Motors ordered a stop sale for the 2016 SS three months ago, due to a seat belt tensioner recall, potential owners were left high and dry unable to take delivery of their new vehicles.
Chevrolet and General Motors have not responded to our formal requests for an update on the situation, but dealerships are reporting parts are en route. According to many owners on the official SS Forum, dealerships are reporting similar timeframes as to when parts will become available.
Each is reporting a similar availability of parts arriving within one week and dealers have been instructed to fix sold Chevrolet SS sedans first before unsold inventory is undertaken.
We've also heard rumors of Chevrolet reinstating the 20 percent off MSRP incentive for the final 2016 SS sedans left at dealerships. The stop sale was ordered during the final days of the

Turmeric is helpful, but not cancer preventative
Dear Dr. Roach: Is there any evidence that taking turmeric prevents cancer? I have a friend who is convinced that it does. — M.S.
Dear M.S.: There are hundreds of cancers, some of which we can treat and a few of which we can prevent. Turmeric cannot, unfortunately, prevent all cancers.
There are reasons to think that turmeric may have benefits. Some studies have suggested benefit in certain types of cancers, including leukemias and colon and prostate cancers, but I have to emphasize that turmeric (or its active substance, curcumin) is not, by itself, a completely effective preventive or treatment for cancer. Even people taking large amounts of turmeric and with an outstanding diet can get cancer. Turmeric may help other treatments (chemotherapy, radiation) work better; it may help people feel better so they can tolerate more treatment; and it has hormone-like effects that may be useful for treating some cancers and possibly harmful when treating others.
A recent study suggested that people who use alternative treatments for cancer had worse outcomes than people who did not. This prompts a reminder that potential therapies like curcumin should be recommended only as part of comprehensive cancer care and only after discussion with a cancer specialist.
Dear Dr. Roach: I am 75 years old and had a case of vertigo along with an ear infection. An evaluation included an MRI and bloodwork, and a week later, the earache was gone. I was told that the vertigo was due to the earache.
The following week, I had a dentist appointment and needed a filling. I was feeling fine when I entered the dentist's chair. The assistant reclined the chair, and the filling went well. When I was lifted back up, I was so dizzy that I felt like I had gotten off of a roller coaster. I had dry heaves. The next day I went to my druggist, and he suggested Bonine for motion sickness, but all it did was make me sleepy. Did the position of the dental chair cause the vertigo to come back? I'm afraid to go back to the dentist. What can I do? — D.
Dar D.: The most likely diagnosis is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. While I can't be sure of this, the onset of severe symptoms with change in position is suggestive, and the fact that it came and went at least twice over a week or so is also consistent. Finally, an MRI scan (which is often not needed) rules out some of the more worrisome causes of vertigo.
BPPV is a common, probably the most common, cause of vertigo. Your description of feeling like you have gotten off a roller coaster is a powerfully evocative description of vertigo, which many people describe as a feeling they are moving when they are not (some people say it's the world that's moving). Although BPPV will get better on its own, a physical maneuver can be performed by an experienced clinician that repositions the crystals inside the organ of balance, which help the brain determine which way is up. This sometimes can cure the symptoms immediately. Vestibular rehabilitation is effective for people with a more prolonged course.
If your symptoms don't get better, it's time to re-evaluate.
Dr. Roach writes: A recent column about back pain in a 69-year-old woman exercising two or more hours a day led me to conclude she may have been overdoing it. One reader wrote in that changing some of her exercise to yoga was successful in resolving these painful "knots" in her back. As always, I am happy to hear from readers and share their wisdom, especially when it's something I should have thought of but didn't.

How would our lives be if a specific traumatic event did not happen?
At the time we may curse sweet tuxedo shirt baby Jesus, however can we look at this life lesson and a gift? My friend @chriswinfield says our "Mess if our Message"
You have a gift inside you the world wants to receive.
I had a gift I was scared to give, for fear it wouldn't be received and I would feel crushed…again.
I was deathly scared to speak publicly because when I was 16 I was forced to speak in front of 2,000 kids at my high school about something I was not passionate about and fumbled it up to the point where kids were yelling back at me: "Nadork!" This shit fucked me up for a while…
However the passion in our heart is stronger than any set back my loves. The flame of desire to make a difference stays lit within us not matter what. And I would come back to play with its light for short toasts, investor pitches for my start up and impromptu videos from the remote beach I was on that day. However I knew there was more for me to give…and I followed the fear as a guide to what was next. I would shake and barely be able to communicate with people before my talks. * If I had allowed myself to lose myself in my anxiety, I would not have followed the path of giving my Gift to Give of connecting to people from my heart vs. my head. Today I'm an internationally paid speaker who creates from my heart.
I have created the Art of Hugging talk and 12 other Lifestyle Perfected talks spanning from Self Love to Money to Purpose to Physical Health. With the intention to open up conferences to have people lose their anxiety and connect instantaneously on a deeper level, feel at home and produce more revenue for the attendees.
Whereas I used to practice nervously, today I've let go and without practice or writing anything simply trust source and intuition to connect with the audience and the message I want to share. * Would love to hear what event inspired you to follow a chosen path and how it could've been different if you allowed fear and anxiety overcome you.
* Please Comment Below * Sending you all the love

Poor mental health costs the NHS £14 billion a year. A new scheme aims to bring the healing benefits of reading to the 6 million people in the UK with anxiety and depression.
|Bill Bryson - one of the authors
guaranteed to lift your mood
There is growing evidence showing that self help reading can help people with certain mental health conditions get better. Reading Well Books on Prescription will enable GPs and mental health professionals to prescribe patients cognitive behavioural therapy through a visit to the library. Here they can get books to help them understand and manage conditions from depression to chronic pain. The scheme works within NICE guidelines, and uses 30 books endorsed by health partners as having evidenced CBT benefits.
Another of The Reading Agency's initiatives is their Mood-boosting Books Scheme, which attempts to help people feel better by giving them recommended books to read when they are feeling anxious or depressed. Research shows that reading improves mental well-being and reduces stress levels. The books are recommended by readers and reading groups around the country and range from novels and non-fiction to poetry and graphic novels. There are also titles that are suitable for less confident readers.
