Irritability Agitation Anxiety.
The heat outside can absolutely mess with your head, and with more of it expected today, everyone – health experts, weather experts, government officials, the media – are issuing warnings to be safe.
Friday's temperature peaked at 101 degrees – a record for July 6.
It's also the third consecutive day in Fort Wayne that the temperature reached into triple digits. It's only the fifth time that's happened since 1897, when records started being kept on the city's weather.
The city has never had four consecutive days with 100-degree heat, but the forecast today calls for temperatures to possibly reach as high as 105, according to the National Weather Service.
By nightfall, temperatures might get down into the 80s.
But until then, experts repeat and stress the following critical steps: Stay in the air conditioning, if possible; drink water; if you must be outside, take frequent breaks and find some shade.
If your body starts telling you to get out of the sun, get out of the sun, said Mike Sabones, meteorologist-in-charge of the National Weather Service office in Syracuse. This is pretty dangerous stuff.
And it's not just dangerous for the meat of your body. It doesn't just make you pass out or suffer from heat stroke or any number of other health maladies.
It attacks your psyche, too.
Have you noticed people being a little more anxious lately?
Or maybe they're a little crankier?
Or maybe you're the cranky one?
That's not unusual in this weather. According to psychiatrists, it really can play havoc with your emotional and mental state.
It's something we've heard from several people today, said Dr. Jay Fawver, a Fort Wayne psychiatrist who hosts Matters of the Mind on WFWA-TV Channel 39 and heads up the Fawver Wellness Center, on Friday. A lot of these people are bothered by this heat and are affected emotionally.
Fawver said it starts with sleeping.
People's bedrooms aren't cool enough, he said, especially those without air conditioning. The body likes to cool down on its own when it sleeps. But it has trouble doing so if it's in a room with temperatures above the high 60s.
You just can't get a good depth of sleep, Fawver said.
People are waking up already irritable.
Then they go outside and it gets worse: They sweat and lose sodium; they quickly become exhausted; their heart rate increases; they become dehydrated.
All of that combined can heighten people's agitation or depression, Fawver said.
The best thing you can do is get to a cool environment somehow or someway, Fawver said.
Just going through the list of emotional stress symptoms caused by the heat, it's no surprise to researchers that crime – statistically at least – appears to rise during the summer months in much of the country.
Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that more crimes are reported in July and August than in any other months. Two years ago, an analysis of local crime data by The Journal Gazette showed Fort Wayne police received 30 percent more calls for service during days in the summer than normal.
Last month, Jerry McKean, a criminal justice professor at Ball State University, talked about the aggravation hypothesis.
The hypothesis states that heat is a form of stress, and humans who are in stress react with aggression.
End result: Crime goes up.
But McKean said researchers believe there is a plateau to this aggression caused by heat, that temperatures get so hot that it no longer affects the crime rate. Basically, it gets too hot to do anything.
What that temperature is too hot?
Nobody really knows, McKean said.
So, again, it's recommended that you find a way to stay cool and avoid getting angry or agitated.
Fawver recommended the city's cooling centers, or finding some public places that have air conditioning if needed. Sabones, with the National Weather Service, said use common sense – wear light clothing, drink liquids, get out of the sun.
Nobody should take this lightly, he said.
And weather the proverbial storm, because once the weather breaks as it's expected tonight, we shouldn't see 100 again for a while, according to Sabones.
Temperatures will be normal for the summertime – something Sabones called a step in the right direction – but we'll still be in the midst of one of the hottest years on record.
It started back with record heat in March, and so far this year, our average daily temperature is 51.9 degrees.
And if the heat wave continues, we'll break 1921's record for hottest year in Fort Wayne history, when the average temperature was 50.7 degrees.
This whole year has been unusual, Sabones said.

History of Gangtok
In 1840, Gangtok, then a village, came into its own with the establishment of the

In 1894, Thutob Namgyal, the Sikkimese King, who was under the British power, shifted the capital from Tumlong to Gangtok. From that time the importance of the city was gained. Following the independence of India in 1947, Sikkim became a nation-state with Gangtok.
came under the suzerainty of India, with the condition that it would retain its independence, by the treaty signed between the Chogyal (the former monarchs) and the first Indian Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru
. This pact gave the Indians control of External Affairs of India on behalf of Sikkimese. The trade between India and Tibet continued to prosper through the
Nathula Pass
and Jelepla passes. These border passes were sealed after the Sino-Indian War in 1962. It deprived Gangtok of its trading business. The Nathula pass was finally opened for limited trade with China in 2006.

Tourism in Gangtok
Gangtok is dotted with monasteries and is a centre for Buddhism, its teachings and culture. It`s one of the cleanest cities in the world, well organized and well-maintained. That is why it is called as the "Switzerland of the East".
The capital is definitely not behind the rest of the world in terms of urbanization - Broad roads, flyovers, posh markets, state-of-art hospital, educational institutes, fast food outlets, discothŠques, and all other modern amenities that the heart can desire for. One imposing manmade landmark of the town is the 200 ft-high TV tower which overlooks the town and is situated near the
Enchey Monastry
Ganesh Tok
. A stroll along the
Mahatma Gandhi
Marg is shopper`s delight- Hotels, restaurants, footwear and almost everything is available.
Shri Nalanda Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies
Shri Nalanda Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies is initiated by the late 16th Karmapa, the institute in housed in the adjoining building of the
Rumtek Monastery
. The Jamyang Khang Primary School meant for five years of primary monastic studies is also located here.
Rumtek Dharma Chakra Centre
A short drive from Gangtok will take you to Rumtek Dharma Chakra Centre. Built in 1960 by His Holiness the late 16th Gyalwa Karmapa it is a replica of the original Kagyurpa Monastery in Tsurphu, Tibet, the seat of His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa Rinpoche, head of the Karmapa sub sect of Kargyudpa order of Tibetan Buddhism. It now functions as the headquarters of the Dharma Chakra Religious Centre.
Located within the complex are the main monastery, the memorial Stupa of the XVI Gyalwa Karmapa inlaid with gold plate and semi precious stones, Shri Nalanda Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies and the Jamyang Khang Primary School. The centre houses some of the world`s most unique religious scriptures, manuscripts and religious art objects.
A fifteen minute walk downhill from Dharma Chakra Centre takes one to the Old Rumtek monastery which was originally built in 1730 by the ninth Karmapa but was destroyed by fire and had to be reconstructed to the present state. His Holiness late Gyalwa Karmapa lived in this monastery till the completion of the Rumtek Dharma Chakra Centre.
Jawaharlal Nehru Botanical Garden
Jawaharlal Nehru Botanical Garden
is located very close to Rumtek Monastery just half a kilometre before reaching Rumtek Monastery on the highway, it is maintained by the parks and Gardens unit of the Forest Department of the Government of Sikkim, the Garden is an enchanting and soothing experience among the lush green vegetation, rare plants and trees and certain species of Himalayan flowers and Orchids.
This garden is a mixture of well tended tropical and temperate plants and trees can be found here. A huge greenhouse containing many species of orchids has been constructed within the garden. For children there is even a small playground with a merry-go-round, swings and a see-saw. A cemented footpath winds its way through the garden and is good for taking a relaxed stroll. The sprawling town of Gangtok can be seen on the hill opposite. The garden is indeed an ideal picnic spot.
Tsomgo/ Changu Lake
The drive to Tsomgo/ Changu Lake from Gangtok takes about more than two hours by bus. The lake is about 1 km. long and oval in shape, 50ft deep. This is an alpine zone and snowbound from December to April and the lake is regarded extremely Holy and head of all lakes in Sikkim remains frozen from January to April, and attracts 99% of tourists visiting Gangtok, Sikkim. It is also a home of Brahmini ducks besides stopover for various migratory ducks.
Lake Menmecho
This is another beautiful lake located twenty kilometres ahead of the (Changu) lake. Quite big in size, it lies cradled between the mountains below the Jelepla pass and is also the source of the river Rangpo-chu which meets the
Teesta River
at Rangpo. Like the (Changu) Lake, it also derives its water from the melting snow around especially from the stream that originates just below the Jelepla pass.
The lake is famous for its trout and a farm to cultivate these fish also exists nearby. Accommodation for the visitors coming here is available at the dak bungalow and tourist lodge near the lake. Tourists are not yet permitted to visit this area.
Gangtok has been a favoured destination for vacationers in search of peace and tranquillity for a while. Nestled amongst the verdant
Shivalik Hill
ranges, this little city enjoys mild, temperate climate all year through. Perhaps it`s because the world`s third tallest peak
lies to the east of the city.

Some Different Scrapbooking Ideas for Thanksgiving
The season of thanks is upon us, and we want to capture those family memories in a way they will always be easily recalled, for life's good times always slip quickly away, like sand sifting through an hour glass. One fine scrapbooking idea for Thanksgiving is to create a recipe memoir, which tells the history of your family's thanksgiving in the form of recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. Here are some tips on how to organize your Thanksgiving recipe scrapbook memoir material.
Gather all the recipes you want to include in the memoir and any photos or ephemera you want associated with the presentation. Take your time with this phase of the operation, no matter how anxious you may be about completing your scrapbook ideas for Thanksgiving before the holiday. You will feel terrible if you omit one Thanksgiving scrapbook idea and then find it after you have completed the memoir / scrapbook.
As you gather recipes and photos for your scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving, make some notes about each one. In fact, buy a special journal just for these notes and keep it for other scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving.
How does reading about the recipe make you feel? What special memories does it evoke? Are there any family tales or funny stories associated with the recipe? Is it hand-written or typed? Write down your thoughts as they cross your mind. Make a rough sketch of your pages so you will know what will go where and what supplies you will need to fulfill your Thanksgiving scrapbook ideas.
Decide on a format for your scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving. One effective scrapbooking idea for Thanksgiving is to organize the material as if it were a cookbook to be passed down to future generations. You are creating a family heirloom just as priceless as any other, and maybe even more so because of the specific effort involved. If you wish to use a cookbook format as your scrapbooking idea for Thanksgiving, consider dividing the book into different sections just like you would find in a real cookbook; one for appetizers, entrees, desserts, etc. Instead of an appendix, list the names of those whose recipes you have included.
Do not scrimp on materials for your scrapbooking idea for Thanksgiving. You want your memoir to last, and it won't without purchasing fine quality materials. Don't be afraid to try something different for your scrapbooking idea for Thanksgiving. What about chalking, paper piercing or punch art for your cookbook/scrapbook memoir?
If you decide to go with chalking as one of your scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving, practice adding and blending colors on a separate sheet before applying chalk to a cutout to get a feel for blending techniques. Chalking is a very inexpensive scrapbooking idea for Thanksgiving and is a very effective way to adorn a page with color. Use a light touch for a soft look and a heavier application for more intense color. Opt for photo-safe decorating chalks, which contain concentrated pigment and are acid-free. Use them carefully and if they break, save the pieces because they still can be used for other scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving.
Paper piercing is another technique to consider for your scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving. Using a template, a piercing tool and pad, you can create a unique presentation for your cookbook / memoir. Designs can be either flat or raised but the results are endless. Many themes and styles are available and piercing can add texture or be combined with stenciling or embossing for additional enhancement of your scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving.
Punch art also offers a myriad of possibilities for your scrapbook ideas for Thanksgiving. You can use it to decorate the borders or headers of your cookbook memoir to accentuate its Thanksgiving theme. Set your own stage with the colors of the season; orange, burgundy, gold and brown. Punches are very versatile and they can be made into many shapes and sizes, only limited by the confines of your imagination. Some of the more common punches are standard geometric shapes, hearts, stars, spirals, leaves and bears. Like the words to that old song, when it comes to punches for scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving, anything goes.
So consider your cookbook / memoir scrapbooking ideas for Thanksgiving as something your family will treasure for many holiday seasons to come. Get inspired to make it a unique creation that will bring pride to any bookshelf in your home. Let your imagination run free and wild while remembering to have a happy, healthy and memorable Thanksgiving holiday.

A Craft Beer Guide to Cape Town
Rob PetersThe rise of craft beers in Cape Town has been rapid. Capetonians will no longer assault their gullets with mass-produces lagers. They want variety and they want quality. I spoke to Martin Tucker, owner of The Beer Merchant, and one of the organisers of the Cape Town Festival of Beer, to get a better understanding of craft beer around the city. Basically I wanted a guide on what the Mother City has on tap. He broke the market down into three different categories: breweries, tap rooms and places.
What to do on a Sunday in Cape Town?
Nicole BiondiI know - silly question isn't it? Naturally there are always loads of things to do in Cape Town on a Sunday, especially when that Sunday is a summery one. I could join the rest of my running fraternity and have an early morning jog alongside the twisty ocean-flanked road between Seapoint and Camps Bay, while drinking in the incredibly beautiful views. I could meander up the road from my house in Woodstock, stop for the Sunday papers and pick up some still-warm, dripping with syrup and smothered in coconut 'koeksiesters' (a Cape Malay donut-like treat) to have with my Field Office coffee. And most importantly, I could indulge in one of my absolute favourite Sunday brunch-time pursuits - I could head to the Winchester Mansions Hotel for their weekly Sunday Jazz brunch.
New Year's Eve in Cape TownCan you believe that it's almost 2015? It's crazy! Do you have your New Year's Eve plans sorted? If not, don't stress, we've got you covered. There is something for everyone on this list and because the weather is usually warm and sunny this time of year, it could be the summer party of the year.

I really enjoyed the music. The singing by the females was great: I could understand the words and follow the song; however, some of the male singers did not enunciate too well and it was difficult to understand what the song was about. I found that somewhat distracting. The set design was fine and the cast members were talented.

I absolutely loved this show. It's an old-fashioned musical about modern New York. I don't expect professional-quality theater at the community level, but this Palo Alto Players production came darn close.

Front row seats. Rather say OK about that. The play was VERY fast moving. Good scenes and performances.

Four senior theater-goers attended. Second row was too close for a musical. Rap was hard to understand. Music was enjoyable, and the dancing was energetic.

Undefeated pacer St Elmo Hero, sent off by bettors at five cents to the dollar, didn't disappoint his backers on Saturday at Balmoral Park, winning by four lengths gate-to-wire in a $10,900 free-for-all.
The Hero, with Robert Smolin in the bike, pushed his winning streak to 24 in stopping the timer in 1:50, a blistering time over a wet track rated good.
''There was a lot of pressure coming into this race just because we were back on a different track with a different driver,'' said John Barnard of Orland Park, who owns the 5-year-old gelding. ''Our horse responded [off a layoff] with a huge mile on a night like this. It looks like he is ready'' for the Cam Fella stake at Woodbine.
Smolin called the victory ''the biggest adrenaline rush of my life, but I didn't feel much pressure because I had driven the horse before.''

The City is putting in place measures to deal with the growing number of refugees moving into downtown Joburg.
THE City of Johannesburg is putting in place immediate measures to deal with the growing number of refugees in the vicinity of the Central Methodist Church in central Johannesburg.
With the recent closing down of refugee camps nationally, the inner city has experienced an increase in the number of new arrivals, particularly near the church on the corner of Pritchard and Smal streets.
Among the provisions being finalised is the opening of a City-owned building for temporary accommodation and the installation of temporary toilets in the area.
The City will also continue with regular health inspections, keeping the area clean, and will bring in additional security.
To realise a lasting solution to the growing problem, it will work with the national and provincial government, starting with a special meeting with the MEC for local government, Qedani Mahlangu, on Wednesday, 11 March. The meeting will identify appropriate intergovernmental responses.
The City is also calling for support from the business sector and the Methodist Church.
Managing the precinct
It is estimated that as many as 4 000 migrants - the majority from Zimbabwe - are living in and around the church, as well as in the Smal Street pedestrian alleyway.
In a statement, the City confirms that the most critical short-term concern is to manage the precinct effectively around the Central Methodist Church. It has has put in place a number of measures to facilitate day-to-day management here.
"With growing health concerns, the City's department of health made regular inspections of the church premises, and also fumigated and took other preventative measures."
At the same time, the City established a joint operational committee involving a number of departments including urban management, environmental health, emergency management services, and community development, which engages closely with the Methodist Church and Home Affairs.
Daily cleaning of the streets, including the use of high powered hoses; more regular waste collection; additional security around the affected areas; restriction of trading; and developing house rules for the church and the precinct are also being put in place.
Some areas in the precinct are being fenced off to minimise the effect on business while at the same time ensuring continued access to the church.
But it is finding a long-term solution to the problem which requires urgent attention, the City believes.
Following the rise in the number of migrants in the area during the latter part of 2008, the City started engaging extensively with the church and the business community.
On 30 January it held an urgent meeting with the church's Bishop Paul Verryn to discuss immediate measures to manage the situation and to find a longer-term solution.
At the meeting Verryn asked for assistance with emergency accommodation for refugees. The City indicated that it could make a building available for lease to the Methodist Church, subject to conditions on the management of the building and of the existing church premises.
The lease is being prepared but the immediate challenge is the refurbishment of the building, which has budget implications. And this will by no means be a long-term solution with refugee numbers already greater than can be accommodated, the City has indicated.
To improve management of the area further, at least 40 marshals would be appointed to control the crowds; at the same time all those in the precinct would be registered and further movement of people into the precinct would be restricted, the City confirmed.
Some businesses in the area have become impatient with the growing problems relating to migrants to the area.
In one instance, Pitje Chambers in Pritchard Street has made a High Court application, with the City as first respondent in the matter.
The City maintains that it has a good working relationship with businesses, and while it will contest the case it will continue to work collaboratively with the business sector in this regard.
"The City appreciates the impact of the situation on business activities in the areas and is working closely with the business sector to manage it."

Wants to Post Movie on Facebook
Dear Rich: My friend wants to upload a Hollywood movie in four parts so that his family can watch it on Facebook, one-fourth of the movie at a time. I told him that will be seriously illegal based on my limited (lay person) understanding of copyright laws. I cannot find the exact answer to the question. Considering that you and your friend have probably spent a disproportionate amount of time in front of warnings like the one shown here, these PSAs must be classified as epic fail. Yes, copying movies without authorization is an infringement. The punishment for Facebook users fits the crime -- if you're caught, you'll be blocked from uploading videos (usually for about six months). Facebook's user agreement also permits the company to terminate your account (horrors!!) and movie studios can also pursue you if they wish (unlikely). So, if Facebook membership is crucial for your existence, it's best not to risk your online presence for the sake of an illegal download.

Accordion's king Ramón Ayala, son of local musician Ramón Cobarrubias, began playing his favorite instrument at a very young age. Inspired and supported by his parents, he performed in different public places to help his modest family. Ramón Ayala's first band experience was a group called los Jilgueros de Marin; he later joined los Pavoreales. After moving to Reynosa, the talented musician met Cornelio Reyna and formed Relampagos del Norte; the group soon made a self-titled debut album which featured the hit single "Ya No Llores." When Cornelio Reyna decided to leave the act, its name was changed to los Bravos del Norte. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide.

Are Psychics the New Therapists?
Why women are turning to the metaphysical world to get through the tough spots
"It's almost like you're in therapy on fast forward," she says of a psychic reading. Her current go-to person is Rev. Catherine Paretti, who calls herself a spiritual counselor and clairvoyant. "She gets it on such a larger level immediately," says Susan of Catherine. "That's why it's so valuable. She doesn't need to know you, but she gets down to your core."
Of course, not everyone is convinced that psychic services provide a real benefit. "The succor that a psychic gives you is potentially harmful," cautions D. J. Grothe, president of the James Randi Educational Foundation, consumer protection non-profit that looks into paranormal claims.
"We know about the stages of grief," says Grothe, offering the example of a person who goes to a psychic to help cope with the loss of a loved one. "The psychic would give you the warmed-over nicety: So and so is in heaven and is at peace. The psychologist knows that that sort of reprieve from the pain keeps you stuck in a stage of grief.
"I'm not saying they're villains, but they're unqualified," says Grothe. "Even the well-meaning ones who believe that they're real are pretending to have a level of expertise in a professional domain that they have no training in."

EDQM Launches Counterfeit Drug Database
The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) announced the launch of a new database, Know-X, which collates reports on counterfeit/falsified medical products that have been detected in Council of Europe member states.
The user-friendly tool was developed to assist officials by expanding knowledge and awareness of the problem of counterfeit/falsified medicines, provide a basis for the exchange of information, highlight and encourage collaboration between health and law enforcement authorities, and foster the sharing of analytical information on the testing of counterfeit/falsified and other illegal medicines within the Network of Official Medicines Control Laboratories (OMCLs), EDQM reports in a statement.
The database contains details on closed cases of counterfeit/falsified medical products, technical information on the testing performed, the authorities involved and what actions were taken. The information provided is gathered from OMCLs, health authorities, regulatory agencies, medical products surveillance authorities, customs, and police and is intended to provide governments with decision aids for the management and prevention of specific risks.
Access can be requested by officials working for a competent health or law enforcement authority in a Council of Europe member state or in a state party to the MEDICRIME Convention that is directly involved in fighting counterfeit/falsified medical products and similar crimes, or a member of the European OMCL Network that does not belong to the core testing group.
