Cholesterol Guidelines for People with High Risk of Heart Attack
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) offers cholesterol guidelines for men and women.
Cholesterol and Heart DiseaseHigh levels of LDL cholesterol and/or low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol, are major risk factors for heart attack and stroke, two of the most common causes of death in the US. The good news is that most people can control major heart disease risk factors, including cholesterol levels, smoking, excessive weight, lack of exercise, high blood pressure , and type 2 diabetes . Screening for lipid disorders like high cholesterol depends on your age and whether you have any risk factors for heart disease.
A Run-Down of the GuidelinesThe guidelines propose different recommendations depending on a person's degree of risk of heart attack within the next ten years. This risk is determined by the presence of several risk factors, including history of heart attack or stroke, unstable or stable angina (chest pain), history of coronary artery procedures, evidence of clogged arteries (myocardial ischemia), diabetes, metabolic syndrome, high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, family history of heart disease, and age. There are three major risk levels:
- High risk (over 20% chance of heart attack within ten years) including those with coronary heart disease (CHD) or those having a CHD risk equivalent—diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, or carotid artery disease)
- Moderately high risk (10%-20% chance of heart attack within ten years)
- Moderate risk (less than 10% chance of heart attack within ten years, but still with two or more risk factors)
- Lower risk (a person with one or fewer risk factors)
|Risk Category
|Drug Therapy Based on LDL levels
|High risk
|Moderately high risk
|Moderate risk
|Lower risk
Recommended Treatment
Lifestyle TherapyNCEP recommends the following lifestyle changes:
- Eat a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol
- Eat plenty of plant based foods to get the beneficial sterols and stanols that they contain.
- Increase soluble fiber in your diet (eg, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds)
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Getting regular physical activity
Drug TherapyStatins are often prescribed for high cholesterol. They are designed to be used in combination with lifestyle therapy. Statins works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) that helps the body make cholesterol. The benefit from these medicines may also come from their anti-inflammation properties. Common examples of statins include:
- Atorvastatin
- Lovastatin
- Simvastatin
- Pravastatin
- Rosuvastatin

is this genetic or environmental
Ok this is a seedling, I planted the seed last year, and it bloomed this year (I always like that - a little bonus). The parentage is unknown for the pollen but the pod is from a boutique hybridizer that doesn't register... (I like to buy from smaller gardens when on vacation or working in a different state.... I buy whats blooming or what the person is most proud of) Anyway, this is the first bloom ever, I'm not too quick to judge it so soon.... for example its missing a sepal. I will give it a couple of years to see how it goes. But it has these little "warts" near the mid rib on on petal and one sepal. Is this caused environmentally or is that an odd genetic? I've never had blooms with these. Is it common? (breeding with quite a few from boutique gardens is tricky.... since many are unregistered I often don't have a good idea of lineage.)

underlayment for solid wood?
Is an underlayment necessary or desirable for an solid oak floor, nail down? If so, what kind? Is there an underlayment that would reduce noise from below? We have a garage door that is very loud, sounds like a train:) It is right under the dining room/living room floor.
Thank you in advance!!
You may consider to have 1/8" or 3/8" of cork underlayment for sound barrier. Floor Muffler underlayment with a very high IIC and STC rating allows you to use under solid wood naildown too.
I don't think that a thin layer of cork will muffle the sound of a garage door. If you really want to deaden the sound, you need to use an insulation designed for this in the joist bays. Hopefully the garage door opening and closing doesn't occur too frequently! Be careful if you do decide to use a soft underlayment like cork - you'll need to make sure that your floor cleats (my preference for solid hardwood floor fasteners) or staples are long enough to penetrate deeply enough into the subfloor.
I'll be having nail-down, finish-in-place hardwood installed throughout the house except bathrooms, which are tile. To even the transitions, I need to bring up the hardwood by about 1/8" to match the level of the tile.
Is cork underlayment a good choice for this purpose? If so, how should it be installed (glued, stapled, other) ?
I have a similar question along these lines ... we are installing hardwood floors, and an underlayment (attofarad, you might want to investigate Regupol & Nobel Seal).
However, we are trying to figure out what's the best option for installing the hardwood floors -- glue down, or nail down?
We have been told that nail down would require 2 additional layers of subfloor so that the nails do not penetrate the underlayment and so is the more expensive option. Though it was our understanding that nail down was preferable to glue down to let the wood expand/contract.
Thoughts on what is preferable?
"We have been told that nail down would require 2 additional layers of subfloor so that the nails do not penetrate the underlayment "...
Is this suspended wood construction? If so, you already have a subfloor layer. I don't understand the 2 additional subfloor layer recommendation.
"(attofarad, you might want to investigate Regupol & Nobel Seal). "
Thanks for the references, bu those materials do not seem to be the correct thickness for what I need -- either too thin or too thick. As I said, I need to "shim" the hardwood by about 1/8"
I'm not really concerning about sound attenuation. I will be nailing through the underlayment.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
1952 E. c. CROWTHER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR Filed Sept. 21, 1959 INVENTOR. Edmond C. Crou/Zher 3,ii68,445 ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR Edmond C. Crowther, North Hampton, NH. Filed Sept. 21, 1959, Ser. No. 841,212 1 Claim. (Cl. 339-246) This invention relates to an electrical connector. More specifically, it relates to an electrical connector wherein a device of the type commonly known in the art as a bus bar is mechanically formed so that, when used in combination with other elements, it will accept lead wires or secondary conductors and removably retain same in direct contact with the material of the bus bar.
Heretofore, metallic connectors employed for electrically connecting primary conductors of current, such as bus bars, with the secondary wire conducting means have been complex in nature. Undue resistance to the passage of electrical current between the source and the end conductor is often present in such connectors. In addition, their complexities have provided inherent problems to the persons making the initial assembly, as well as those Who were called upon to utilize the connector in repair work.
It is a primary object of this invention to provide an improved electrical connector which may be partially formed from the basic conductor or bus bar. It is a further object of this invention to provide a connector which has improved electrical conductivity properties. Still another object of this invention is to provide an electrical connector which is simple in operation and economical to manufacture.
Further objects of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art when the specification is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of this invention; and
FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view taken along the longitudinal axis of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and illustrating the use of the connector when the secondary conducting wires accommodated in the connector are of dissimilar diameters.
Referring now to the drawings, a connector includes a base 12, a clamp 14 and a rotary threaded fastener or operator 16. The base 12 is an electrically conductive member and can be a member of substantial cross-section of the type generally known in the trade as a bus bar.
The embodiment disclosed in FIGS. 1 and 2 provides base 12 with a threaded aperture 18, which may take any suitable form, in the present instance a drawn cup which is internally threaded is provided to insure adequate thread engagement with the operator 16. Spaced apart along the longitudinal axis of the base 12 on opposite sides of aperture 18 are a pair of transverse slots 20.
Telescopically associated with threaded aperture 18 is the rotary threaded fastener or screw 16. Screw 16 has suitable driving means such as a slot or knurls on its head and in this embodiment of the invention is provided with a conical clamping face on the under surface of said head. The shank of the screw has an unthreaded portion 24 of considerable extent adjacent the clamping surface 22 and a threaded portion 26 extending to the free extremity of the screw.
Rotatably assembled to the screw 16 is the clamp 14. In the present instance, the clamp 14 includes a centrally apertured dished or conical central section 28 with the concave side thereof facing the conical clamping surface 22 of the screw 16. A pair of arms 30 extend outwardly and downwardly from opposite sides of the central section 28 and are adapted to be accommodated within the slots 20. The material from which the clamp 14 and its arms 30 are formed is preferably of a thickness substantially less than the width of the slots 20 for purposes "ice best set forth hereinafter. To rotatably assemble the screw 16 with clamp 14 suitable means known to the art such as an annular rib or shoulder 32 is provided at the junction of the unthreaded shank portion 24 and the threaded shank portion 26. Shoulder 32 is greater in diameter than the aperture in the clamp 14 whereby upon retrograde movement of the screw 16 relative to the base 12, the rib 32 comes into contact with the convex side of central portion 28 and moves the clamp 14 upwardly away from the base 12. In the operation of this device, one or more wires 34 can be inserted in the passageway formed between the base 12, the leg 30, the central portion 28, and the screw 16.
In the event that two wires of equal diameter are not utilized the connector is adapted to compensate either for two wires of differing diameters or to the use of a single wire with the connector and bus bar. To accomplish this, the included angle of the conical clamping surface 22, when taken in section, is less than the included angle of the conical surafce 28 whereby the clamp 14 is free to cant as best seen in FIG. 2 where wires having dissimilar diameters are utilized. The variation in thickness of the clamp material relative to the width of the slots 20 permits limited angular movement of the arm 30 within said slots 20 as shown in FIG. 2. As a safety precaution, so that the clamp 14 cannot be completely removed from the base 12, the last thread at the free extremity of screw 16 can be distorted as indicated at 36 by peening the end of the screw or by other suitable means.
The device is extremely simple to operate since the clamp means can be jacked away from the bus bar by mere rotation of the operator or screw whereby the personnel installing the wires do not have to physically manipulate the connector in any fashion other than by rotation of the screw. The device is economical to manufacture since it can be made from stamped parts and is ideally suited for use in close, tight quarters.
While modifications or embodiment of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, it is not intended that it should be limited in any fashion except by the appended claim.
I claim:
An electrical connector including a base portion formed from one end of the parent material of a bus bar, a rotary screw threaded fastener, a screw threaded aperture in said base portion for telescopically accepting said rotary screw threaded fastener, clamping means rotatably as sembled with said rotary screw threaded fastener and adapted to overlie one face of said base portion, a pair of transversely extending slots in said base means positioned in spaced relation on opposite sides of said threaded aperture, said clamping means being strap-like and substantially uniform in Width throughout its length and including a body portion overlying said one face of said base portion, said body having a medially apertured dished central portion with the concave side facing upwardly and the convex side facing said one face of the base portion, a pair of arms extending outwardly and thence downwardly from said dished portion and adapted to be telescopically accepted in said two slots, said rotary threaded fastener being a screw provided with a conical clamping surface under its head and an unthreaded shank portion adjacent said head, said conical clamping surface being adapted to be seated in the concave side of the dished portion when the shank is telescopically accepted within the medial aperture, said concave side having a greater apical angle than the apical angle of the conical clamping surface under the screw head, means on said screw shank in the vicinity of the unthreaded shank portion and its juncture with the threaded portion of said shank adapted to accomplish permanent rotatable assembly of said clamping means on said screw, the aperture in said clamping means being larger in diameter than the unthreaded shank portion of said screw, said slots in said base portion being greater in lateral extent than the thickness of material in said depending arms of said clamp means whereby the introduction of wires of dissimilar diameters under the opposed outwardly extending portions of said arms will result in a canting of said clamp means to compensate for said difierence in diameters, but will assure positive clamping relative to said base means, the convex side of said central dished portion extending downwardly into the clamping region to cause the convex side to impinge upon said wires to be clamped whereby said clamping means is centrally reinforced by the dished portion and said wires are forced laterally into engagement with the downwardly extending portion of said arms and said rotatable assembly of the screw to the clamp means facilitates jacking of the clamp means away from said base means upon retrograde movement of the screw References Cited in the file of this patent UNITED STATES PATENTS 490,755 Russell Jan. 31, 1893 1,386,634 Kruse Aug. 9, 1921 1,807,462 Zehnder May 26, 1931 2,136,366 Martin Nov. 15, 1938 2,216,344 Hampton Oct. 1, 1940 2,236,279 Van Hoorn Mar. 25, 1941 FOREIGN PATENTS 220,315 Switzerland Nov. 2, 1942 269,917 Switzerland Nov. 1, 1950 632,048 Great Britain Nov. 15, 1949 812,562 Germ-any Sept. 3, 1951

Do you ever look at the people around you and think, "Wow these folks are so disorganized; it's no wonder their finances are a mess?" You know the people I'm talking about. You go to their house and they misplace their remote, their keys, and their credit card in a 5-minute timespan.
Have you ever looked in their bill basket? I'd be willing to bet that it's a mess. How do I know? Because I used to be one of them.
When I was in $30,000 of student debt, my financial life was a disorganized mess. Don't get me wrong, I always paid my bills on time, but I wasn't always sure what my balance was...
An email reaching out is very effective, but you have to own it like you would in an interview, and that takes a little preparation, research, and knowhow.
Sometimes there must be a sense of urgency to accomplish a goal. Finding a friend or family member who needs to save money, pay off debt, or start an investment account is the best way to implement and stick to a financial goal, especially if you've been procrastinating or don't understand how to begin. There are several ways that this approach can work...
Suffice it to say that I had difficulties fitting in as a young child. I really wasn't all that different from anyone else in my class; I just happened to be unlucky — the odd one out in the popularity lottery. I tried to fit in using the only major tool I had at my disposal at the time: how I looked.
These were the years of Adidas tear away pants, Umbro checkered gym shorts, Calvin Klein and Jordache jeans. Go '90s.
It seems counterintuitive when the biggest financial problem I face is high debt and low-ish income, but I can't help but wonder whether paying for a financial planner might be a worthy investment that'll help my money work even better for me in the relatively short term, especially because I'm coming up to some major life changes.
Many people ask how to get a good credit rating score, or what to do to even begin getting credit. Know this, it cannot be done overnight, and to get good credit you must actually have some.

Culture of Corruption: Hilda Solis edition
If you did your homework last year and read Culture of Corruption, you already know all about Labor Secretary Hilda Solis's Big Labor corruptocracy (background here).
Here's an unsurprising update on the reign of Hilda from Rob Bluey at Heritage:
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis rewarded six former staffers from her congressional office with political appointments and huge raises upon taking over at the Department of Labor. The appointees had significant pay increases averaging 50 percent upon changing jobs; one employee's salary nearly doubled.
Solis, a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California, began hiring the employees shortly after she was confirmed by the Senate in February 2009. Political appointments are non-competitive government jobs that differ from career positions, which often involve a long hiring process.
The information was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by Americans for Limited Government. The pay raises stand in stark contrast to the Bush administration, which had a rule that employees shouldn't make more than a 20 percent increase from their previous salary unless there were extraordinary circumstances. Only one Solis staffer made less than a 20 percent raise upon taking the political appointment.
Remember: It's all about the boodle. Always about the boodle.

At 22, Britain's Rosamund Pike just having quite the impact. As one of the two new Bond women in the latest 007 adventure Die Another Day, Pike is having the time of her life for her first film. Dressed wearing a sheer black bra-like halter top, jeans, slightly draped in pink, the quietly spoken British actress admits to being daunted being a major star – and a Bond girl at that – of the 20th James Bond film.
"It's terrifying, to be perfectly honest," the Oxford university graduate shyly admits. Not to mention now dealing with the gargantuan media circus that the arrival of a Bond film generates. "I'm excited at the moment because it's the first chance I've had to gauge people's reactions and people seem quite excited. It seems that people are on your side when you're promoting a Bond movie because there is so much love for these films out there." But for Pike, personally, along with the film itself is her own presence which could lead to instant stardom. "I guess that's part of the job now", she says, matter-of-factly. "I think I felt that the day I got the part was the day London changed for me and I suddenly felt curiously invisible, which I'd never felt before. I thought I'd better enjoy this because sooner or later that could end."
Perhaps that is one of the pitfalls of becoming a Bond girl, but Pike doesn't see that there are any. "I don't see why there should be", Pike insists. "After all, it's one of the coolest gigs you can be offered and one of the greatest compliments you can be given. Perhaps it's only at this stage when people haven't seen the film that when these 40 years of films become kind of crystallised into one idea of 'Bond girl', which involves some silhouette and statement of sex appeal. Whereas if you line them up, as well as carrying some kind of iconic images, they've all been very strong women. Now I'm just longing for people to see the film and realise what I'm up to, not that it's simply about some bit of fluff." Without giving too much away, Pike describes her character "as an agent and there's no joke at our expense which I think in the old days. I'm an MI6 agent recruited out of the Olympic Fencing Team set to work alongside Bond. She tends to loathe everything that Bond stands for. She's also an enigma that you can't really get whom you really can't get a hold of, because she comes up and she's sort of frosty and cool and then people tend to think: OK that's the girl who's the one that's a bit of a bitch to him and then melts and falls for his charms. That's what people expect but of course that's not that." The major physical challenge for Pike was learning how to fence like an Olympic champion. "That was tough because it's like a new body language and a totally new physicality. It's also such a curious sport because it's got this funny kind of structure to it. For something that's like a 1:1 combat it's pretty stylised yet also very aggressive."
Prior to getting the role of sexy agent Miranda Frost in Die Another Day, Pike admits that she wasn't much of a fan of the Bond franchise "even though when you grow up in Britain, you do grow up with Bond in your bones", she says. "But I wasn't a fan which I was initially ashamed of when this came up but then I think it got me through it in a way."
Pike began acting at 16, admitting that "I've always known that was what I was," she says. "I put myself through college by acting and got my first job while I was at university so I was spreadeagled trying to be two different things, which was tough." Pike grew up in a musical family, played the cellist at a young age and could have easily done that professionally, "but I discovered that I was much better at being somebody else."
As to her own favourite Bond film, there's no contest. "Definitely From Russia with Love because Connery at his peak." Asked why James Bond has stood the test of time, this latest Bond girl is clear on this. "It's the fantasy of one guy against the rest of the world or against the major superpowers. I suppose it's that arrogant British fantasy in particular." But while Pike gets hot and sweaty with 007, the beautiful actress also admits "that he's not my type of man." Rather, she adds smilingly, "I like a man a little less put together perhaps." Any takers? Miss Pike is currently single and waiting for someone less Bond to sweep her off her feet "but not until I get my career on track."

I know sci/sci shouldn't be about huge dps, but it felt like it didn't have "useful" weapons at all apart from the beam array :p the transphasic damage was laughable at best.
I haven't tried the plasma idea though. I habe a feeling it would be better. And sorry if this is newbish, but I'm not sure what mods to use for torps, as far as I started running pug pvp I just went straight for acc x3... Or is it overkill?
Boff wise it works like a charm rudiefix
And again my apologies for interrupting the d'kora talk :p

On the ground with Tea Party Express in support of Ted Cruz
For the next week I'll be down in Dallas and other parts of Texas with the Tea Party Express (TPE) on a week-long junket/bus tour/mobile phone bank to help GOP Senate candidate Ted Cruz pull off the victory formerly known as improbable against the Texas GOP establishment . I'm hanging out with people like former Reagan staffer Sal Russo, who founded the Tea Party Express, and hopefully will get to rub elbows with Senators DeMint, Paul and Lee later this week — as well as other famous conservatives — as we hit Dallas and Houston trying to get out the vote for Cruz.
Two events of note to keep an eye on:
First, there is the Stand with Ted Cruz Radiothon tonight with the TPE from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Central Time. A number of people will be participating, including Rick Santorum, Senator Jim DeMint, Paul, Lee and former U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese. Check out more details here, or listen locally at 570 KLIF.
Second, the tour's highlight will be a rally in The Woodlands in Houston on Friday evening. Details about the event can be seen here, but suffice to say the goal is to get all of your favorite conservatives and then some to show up in support of Cruz.
I interviewed Cruz back in May, and enjoyed getting to sorta-kinda-meet him. Hopefully I'll be able to make that an actual meeting before heading back to Washington next week. Check out the interview here.

How would you trim these windows?
Nearing the end of our kitchen reno and trying to figure out how to trim the two windows over the sink. Prior to demo, they were treated as two separate windows with wide moldings (original to house) leaving a small space in between that had backsplash. I was thinking of trimming them as if they were one unit, but I'm not sure how it would look. The space between them is about 13 inches. What would you do? Here is a current pic.
I would decide on what you are doing with the backsplash first. On a project where the whole sink elevation was tiled, we tiled all around the windows and they had no wood trim at all, for example. Or, if it's a shorter backsplash, how the bottom of it ties into the window sills could be important.
Thanks for the feedback! The trim including back band measures 4 3/8. The backsplash will be white subway tile that will only go to cabinet height. The reason I was considering trimming them together is because it looked kind of weird with a few tiles in between previously. But I also don't know if it will look weird trimmed together.
I get that it looked weird with just a small piece in between. But I think it would look weirder to have a really wide trim piece in between the two. What about making the trim a lot narrower than the rest of the home? Or, use some type of decorative ceramic chair rail as trim instead of wood. As in making the whole wall ceramic? Including the sill. That would fit an old fashioned and modern kitchen vibe all at once.
Why don't you consider putting shelves between the two windows? Not deep ones, but maybe 5" or so. It would give you a place for small pots of spices? Then you can trim the entire two windows as one unit and it will not look odd.

A couple more pictures that might help if you are still interested:
Sort of as someone suggested above, a VERY narrow little plate rack here, a kind of narrow vertical wall shelf unit would be nice, perhaps?
Contemporary Kitchen by San Francisco General Contractors Mascheroni Construction
A soffit or short horizontal open shelf above both might help tie them together as one and still be good if you frame each window separately

Deseret News Exclusive: Excerpt from Clayton Christensen's 'How Will You Measure Your Life?'
Personal dissatisfaction, family failures, professional struggles, even criminal behavior — these problems weren't limited to my classmates at HBS. I saw the same thing happen to my classmates in the years after we completed our studies as Rhodes Scholars at Oxford University. To be given that opportunity, my classmates had to have demonstrated extraordinary academic excellence; superior performance in extracurricular activities such as sports, politics, or writing; and significant contributions to their communities. These were well-rounded, accomplished people who clearly had much to offer the world.
But as the years went by, some of my thirty-two Rhodes classmates also experienced similar disappointments. One played a prominent role in a major insider trading scandal, as recounted in the book Den of Thieves. Another ended up in jail because of a sexual relationship with a teenager who had worked on his political campaign. He was married with three children at the time. One who I thought was destined for greatness in his professional and family spheres has struggled in both — including more than one divorce.
I know for sure that none of these people graduated with a deliberate strategy to get divorced or lose touch with their childrenmuch less to end up in jail. Yet this is the exact strategy that too many ended up implementing.
I don't want to mislead you. Alongside these disappointments, there are many of my classmates who have led exemplary personal lives; they have truly been an inspiration to me. But our lives are not over, and the lives of our children are just now unfolding. Understanding what causes the problems that trapped some of my classmates is important not just for those who have come off the path that they had planned to follow but for those whose lives are still on the right pathas well as those whose journeys are just beginning. We all are vulnerable to the forces and decisions that have derailed too many.
I am among those who have been fortunate so far — in many ways due to my wonderful wife, Christine, who has helped us see into the future with remarkable prescience. It would be folly for me to write this book, however, to proclaim that everyone who replicates the decisions we have made will be happy and successful, too. Instead, in writing this book, I have followed the approach that has characterized my management research.
I have engaged my students in the quest as well. In my MBA course, Building and Sustaining a Successful Enterprise, we study theories regarding the various dimensions of the job of general managers. These theories are statements of what causes things to happen — and why. When the students understand these theories, we put them "on" — like a set of lenses — to examine a case about a company. We discuss what each of the theories can tell us about why and how the problems and opportunities emerged in the company. We then use the theories to predict what problems and opportunities are likely to occur in the future for that company, and we use the theories to predict what actions the managers will need to take to address them.
By doing this, the students learn that a robust theory is able to explain what has and what will occur across the hierarchy of business: in industries; in the corporations within those industries; in the business units within those corporations; and in the teams that are within the business units.
In the past several years, on the last day of my class after I've summarized what so frequently happens in the lives of our graduates, we have taken the discussion a step further, plumbing to the most fundamental element of organizations: individuals. For this discussion, rather than use businesses as the case studies, we use ourselves.
I participate in these discussions with more history than my students do, but I follow the same rules. We are there to explore not what we hope will happen to us but rather what the theories predict will happen to us, as a result of different decisions and actions. Because I've been present in these discussions over many years, I've learned more about these issues than any one group of my students ever has. To even the score with them, however, I have shared stories about how these theories have played out in my life.
To help structure this discussion, I write the theories we have studied along the top of the chalkboard. Then I write three simple questions beside those theories:
How can I be sure that
I will be successful and happy in my career?
My relationships with my spouse, my children, and my extended family and close friends become an enduring source of happiness?
