Travel's Best Adventures 2014
From a fun bicycle trip along the Pacific Coast to an amazing hike up Mount Everest -- our advisors pick the most exciting excursions for our adrenaline-pumping list, Travel's Best Adventures 2014.
Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal (Hiking Adventure)
Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal (Hiking Adventure)Trekking in the shadow of the ice-clad Himalayan summits -- for avid hikers, scaling these peaks of legends is a dream come true. "The sights, sounds and culture of Nepal surround you like no place on the planet," says Justin Wood, travel exec with REI Adventures, "your psyche will be forever changed." On the trail, you pass black-and-white yaks with ornate woven harnesses and clanging bells, as well as singing children and locals carrying unimaginable loads of supplies bound for their remote villages. The best time to trek to Everest Base Camp is October through November for clear dry weather, but the trail will be full of trekkers. If you're looking for more solitude, consider March through April, when you'll find cloudy skies but fewer hikers. 960 1280
US Route 50, Nevada (Road Trip Adventure)
US Route 50, Nevada (Road Trip Adventure)Nicknamed "The Loneliest Road in America," US Route 50 begins just past Lake Tahoe, CA, and ends at the Utah state line. In the 409-mile stretch between Fallon, NV, and Delta, UT, alone, there are only 3 towns. Road tripper and documentary filmmaker Allison Otto, says, "This route is beautiful in its austerity, offers numerous photo ops, traverses several large desert valleys and 17 mountain passes -- in some cases reaching altitudes of more than 7,000 feet." This route was constructed over a historic corridor first used by the Pony Express; today, enjoy several must-see sites along the way, including the Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park and the singing sand of Sand Mountain, as well as the old mining town of Ely. Take a detour south along Route 6 to NV-375, aka the Extraterrestrial Highway that passes the alleged location of mysterious Area 51. 960 1280
Djibouti (Water Sport Adventure)
Djibouti (Water Sport Adventure)You may have never heard of Djibouti, but if you're looking for an amazing water adventure this tiny country -- located on the Horn of Africa -- is about as epic as it gets. "Djibouti sits on the Gulf of Aden, which is home to warm, clear waters that are full of pristine reefs and shipwrecks that have yet to be overrun by the diving masses," says Shane Reynolds, founder of Color Earth. "Marine life is plentiful and the biggest attraction, literally, are whale sharks." Seasonally these gentle giants settle in to feed here, providing divers the opportunity to share their space, all without the crowds like in other destinations such as Cancun. Djibouti is the ultimate water adventure experience. There's no other destination in the world that provides scuba diving inside the rift that separates Asia and Africa. 960 1280
Andalusia, Spain (Camping Adventure)
Andalusia, Spain (Camping Adventure)Spend a night underneath the stars in Andalusia, Spain. Most people wouldn't know it, but this area is a hot glamping spot. Sleep in a tricked-out tipi at Altiplano Tipis or in a hand-crafted luxury yurt at Hooting Owl Yurt Holidays. The more adventurous campers who like to rough it should head to Desfiladero de los Gaitanes National Park. "The rock climbing and hiking here is great," says Matthew Karsten, adventure travel expert and blogger for ExpertVagaBond.com. "Plus the famous, but steep Caminito del Rey trail is located right outside the Park," he says. Only in the south of Spain is it possible to go camping on the majestic snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains, then travel an hour to the Mediterranean coast and pitch your tent on a beautiful, sunny beach in Malaga. 960 1280
Pacific Coast Highway 1 (Cycling Adventure)
Pacific Coast Highway 1 (Cycling Adventure)See the beauty of the Pacific Coast from the seat of your bicycle. "Pedaling down California's famous Highway 1, surrounded by towering forests and endless coastline is a cyclist's dream," says avid cyclist and travel journalist Ryan Van Duzer. The epic journey starts along the breathtaking Olympic Peninsula in Washington State and goes all the way down to the sunny beaches of Southern California in San Diego. "My favorite sections are the redwood forests in Northern California, including the mind-blowing beautiful coastline in Big Sur, and being able to dig your feet into the sand along the beaches in LA," he adds. Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and Hearst Castle are other must-see sites that cyclists will find along this amazing pilgrimage that showcases The Golden State's history and diverse landscapes. 960 1280
Yosemite National Park- California (Family Adventure)
Yosemite National Park- California (Family Adventure)This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant Act, which paved the way for the famed national park to come. Home to wildlife, glaciers, waterfalls, valleys, granite domes, cliffs, lakes and wilderness, Yosemite is an ecological wonderland. "Families have a buffet of activities at their disposal, including biking, backpacking, camping, fishing, bird watching, rock climbing and horseback riding," says Tawanna Browne Smith, travel expert and founder of Mom's Guide to Travel. "Stay overnight and camp out in a tent, relax in a cabin at Curry Village or enjoy a luxury stay at the AAA Four-Diamond Ahwahnee hotel." More than 150 activities are planned throughout the year to commemorate Abraham Lincoln's signing of the Yosemite Grant Act to protect the Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove. 960 1280
Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia (Eco-Friendly Adventure)
Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia (Eco-Friendly Adventure)Just off the coast of Queensland, Fraser Island is ideal for an all-encompassing eco-friendly adventure. It is the biggest sand island in the world, and home to a wide range of animal and plant life. Visitors can take in the sights of this phenomenal giant sand system on a 4-wheel drive adventure; hire an Aboriginal tour guide to discover their connection to the island; or escape the heat by swimming in one of the many lakes around the island. "Swamp wallabies, echidnas, possums and sugar gliders hide within the bush and a native dingo population -- said to be the purest breed alive today -- roam freely," says Linda McCormick, travel writer and editor. Staying on Fraser Island can be as exciting -- or as luxurious -- as you wish. "No matter where you stay or what you do," says McCormick, "it's certain you'll be wowed by this impressive natural habitat." 960 1280
Ubatuba, Brazil (Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventure)
Ubatuba, Brazil (Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventure)As host country of the 2014 World Cup, Brazil has been top of mind for travelers and sports lovers alike in recent months. Escape the throngs of soccer fans, and embark on an underwater adventure around the coastal town of Ubatuba, in Sao Paulo state. "Isolated beaches line the coast, and beds of coral and islands dot the surrounding waters, making the region heaven for scuba divers and snorkelers," says Valerie Conners, travel writer and expert. "Find a tour operator to take you into the pristine waters of Ilha Anchieta, Ilha Vitória and Ilha do Prumirim," she adds. In addition to underwater rock formations, divers will see caverns, colorful corals, plenty of dolphins and even an underwater statue of researcher Jacques Cousteau. 960 1280
Skydiving in Orange, Virginia (Extreme Adventure)
Skydiving in Orange, Virginia (Extreme Adventure)Go local to experience extreme adventure in your own backyard. "I've gone paragliding off Pedra Bonita in Rio, but sometimes you don't have to travel thousands of miles away to experience extreme adventure," says Kwin Mosby, managing producer for TravelChannel.com. His suggestion? Experience the adrenaline rush of skydiving with local companies like Skydive Orange, the largest tandem skydiving center in the Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland area." Skydive from 13,500 feet in the air with experienced instructors. And while you're in freefall, make sure you take in the unpolluted, country-fresh air and the awe-inspiring Blue Ridge Mountains off in the distance. 960 1280
The Pantanal, Brazil (Wildlife Adventure)
The Pantanal, Brazil (Wildlife Adventure)The Pantanal is hands down the hottest and best wildlife safari destination outside of Africa Africa, and with the latest photos of jaguars taking down caimans on riverbanks dominating the internet, it's not hard to see why. The wildlife sightings get better and better each year. "On any trip, you can expect to see several rare and endangered wildlife species, such as giant river otters, neotropical river otters, giant anteaters, tamanduas, crab-eating Fox and Tyra -- a type of honey badger," says Jessica Pociask, owner of WANT Expeditions. "You can easily expect to see up to 50 species of birds in one day." See beautiful birds like hyacinth macaws, toucans and herons. This is a not-to-be missed destination if you're a wildlife photographer. 960 1280

Description from Amazon
Passage: A Work Record Hardcover November 20, 1991
Irving Penn (Author, Photographer), Alexandra Arrowsmith (Author), Nicola Majocchi (Author), Alexander Liberman (Introduction)
- Hardcover: 300 pages
- Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf; 1st edition (November 20, 1991)
- Language: English
- Product Dimensions: 12.9 x 11.1 x 1.4 inches
Penn, 74, selected the memorable images in this career retrospective in collaboration with Callaway Editions editors Arrowsmith and Majocchi. His photo-portraits (Auden, Chagall, Hitchcock, Spencer Tracy, Marlene Dietrich et al.) seem to spring out of a conspiratorial partnership with his sitters. He also has done impressionistic advertising photography that Corot might envy. Painterly still lifes are as provocative as the anatomically probing nudes. Penn's continually surprising imagination turns to animal skulls, cigarette butts, multicolored lips, street garbage–odd mementos to "the ultimate sadness of all vanity," as Liberman, editorial director of Conde Nast, writes in his perceptive introduction. Along with a steady stream of fashion photography that resembles a species of cultural anthropology, Penn, as we see here, has recently done powerful color drawings in a biomorphic cubist style. This album includes 71 tipped-in color plates and 397 black-and-whites, along with Penn's running commentary. The printing is of superb quality.
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
In 1941 Penn, then an associate in Vogue 's art department handling the magazine's layouts, was encouraged by Alexander Lieberman to pick up a camera and do the actual photography instead. Since then, he has been producing images at once penetrating and mysterious. While Penn's incisive portraits of both the famous and the unknown–particularly ethnic peoples he posed carefully in studios–capture the specifics even as he renders the sitters timeless, his graceful yet boldly inventive fashion photography has gone far beyond the standard expectations of that genre. In fact, perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this overview is its demonstration that, in the hands of a master, the line between fashion photography and art photography simply does not exist. Penn provides some rather brief commentary on the images displayed here, but the photographs themselves–thoughtfully laid out, beautifully reproduced–make the book. For all libraries that collect photography books seriously.

Search engines have rules for what's acceptable—and not acceptable—for content, linking, and many other factors that are used to calculate relevance. Some guidelines are clear and public, but other policies are known only to the search engines themselves, and if you step over the line, your site may be dinged with a penalty that decreases your rankings or worse, eliminates your site from search results altogether.
Even though many of these policies are not public, observant search engine optimizers have recognized and described many tactics that can draw a penalty to web site. In today's SearchDay article, Coping with Search Engine Penalties, guest writer Marcela De Vivo describes many of these gotchas, and offers advice and guidance for dealing with penalties.

A nationally-televised presidential debate stage is, indeed, neither the time nor the place, one would think. This year, however, all the rules have been thrown out and we've got Donald Trump and Marco Rubio comparing relative penis sizes in their effort to become the so-called leader of the free world.
Today's topics include: Jeb Bush's Droopy Campaign; Old School Republicans vs The Reality Show Era; Rand Paul and Rick Santorum Pull Out; Last Night's CNN Town Hall; Previewing the Maddow MSNBC Debate; The Real Progressive Purity Test; 100 percent Establishment Guy; Newspaper Calls for Audit of Iowa Results; Bernie's Youth Vote; Jesse Ventura on Campaign Finance; and much more.

Pus in the eyes can also occur as a result of mechanical damage - corneal injury, careless maintenance or contact with eyes grains. On the scarred surface is easy to fall into bacteria, then the eye problems are provided.
How to get rid of pus
If the kitten's eyes were red and from the beginningstand unhealthy liquid, it needs first aid. To do this, prepare a decoction of chamomile antibacterial, furatsilina (0.02%) and boric acid (2 teaspoons to 0.5 cups of warm water) and twist of wool tight tourniquet. The tow should be dipped into the solution and gently squeeze it into the eyeball of the animal. Repeat procedure should be to complete the purification of eyes and eyelids.
If a kitten stuck together forever, you can not break them by force - need to carefully peel soak with warm water and remove carefully with a cotton swab.
After washing the festering anti-bacterial eyesolution under the eyelids can lay 1% tetracycline ointment, which is necessary before using a little heat, so that it is uniformly distributed over the eyeball. Also, the eyes need to dig special preparations - pipette with the need to keep an eye on, at a distance of 1-2 cm from it.
If you stop the inflammatory process is notfails, the kitten is necessary to show the qualified vet who will determine the cause and location of festering, properly select complex of medicinal drops, ointments and antibiotics, as well as give recommendations for the care of sick animals.

Town Square
Recent experience with Palo Alto paramedics
Original post made by Dan Logan, Charleston Meadows, on May 16, 2014
Last fall when leaving a classroom on the second floor of Lane History Corner at about 9 PM, I discovered that the building's only elevator was out of service. Several inquiries to evening maintenance staff confirmed that the elevator could not be restarted that night.
One of my classmates called 911 and within ten minutes a three-member team of Palo Alto paramedics appeared. They, too, inspected the elevator equipment. After concluding that it was not going to be quickly restarted, the three men picked me up in my chair and carefully carried me down the large staircase to the main floor.
The time from their arrival to completion of the task was less than ten minutes. They acknowledged my thanks and were on their way. No forms to sign, no charge.
This was a valuable service that was neither fire suppression nor medical care. It could have happened in any building with an inoperable elevator. There is a need for recovery of the cost of such services.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"This was the student's next to last lesson before he will take his SAT. We began as we normally do, by reviewing the two Math sections which the student has completed previously and this time his sections were very different. One section beat his high score!! The section had every question correct except for two unanswered questions. The student certainly knows how to deliver results again, and again, and again. As usual, we went over the incorrect questions, and then categorized them by type in order to practice problems of that type. This time, the major topics included: questions involving slope calculations and using slope to obtain coordinates, questions involving combining the concept of a function with a known equation, like area, as well as basic computations when it comes to equation manipulation. It is this last topic that is the student's greatest weakness, so I had him complete several practice problems in session so I could observe him doing them and coach him through them. His Math scores on the practice sections are quite good already, so we are just fine tuning at this point. Anyway, the student completed the questions and then we went on to question regarding slope, and using a function to obtain a point or using a point to standardize a function. We worked through several other practice problems until the end of session. five out of five stars"
"Continued working on the Math section of the ACT, working on practice problems, formulas, basics, and more. The student seems to be getting the hang of more of the Math problems, though, he still needs to review the formulas more and perhaps practice more with the Math problems. We also spent some time focusing on the English section of the ACT. Here, the issue seems to be mostly with getting the correct phrasing rather than grammar/punctuation."
"The student and I focused today's session on reviewing math concepts that will appear on the test, as this is what she felt she needed the most work in. We started off the session reviewing the practice questions from each section of the test that I had left her with (which she answered nearly perfectly and had very little trouble with) and the vocabulary that had challenged her in our previous session (which she had obviously studied and breezed through). I began our Math concept review with some ACT Math Jeopardy. It revealed that her most challenging areas are trigonometry and some coordinate plane geography. I then supplied her with flashcards covering the majority of the concepts she'll need on the match section of the ACT. Before we began going through the flashcards, together we set a goal that she would know 80% of the concepts without trouble, because this should guarantee her the score she's hoping for to make her application competitive at her desired colleges (she's considering DU and University of Utah). She got 89% of the concepts without trouble. We finished by tackling a few practice questions, which she largely breezed right through. The ones that seemed to keep hanging her up were questions involving arithmetic sequences. At the close of our session, I promised to send along some resources by email regarding arithmetic sequences in the case that she wants more review before Saturday. Her mother and I had spoken about the possibility of an additional session on Friday, but the student feels pretty confident and at this time doesn't feel that she needs another session prior to the test. I left her with the full-length practice test in the case that she wants to do a full dry-run, but otherwise, I encouraged her to take Friday evening off from studying to prepare for Saturday. I have no doubts that the student will do great on the test, with an anticipated score in the low 30's."

All quotes tagged Hopeful
(15822 quotes found)
"Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up."
"Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love."
"The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise."
"You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."
"Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence."

Heart disease and stroke are one of the leading causes of death for Canadian women—and risk factors, symptoms and even treatment might vary by age. Here's what you need to know.
It was Dec. 13, 2014. I was getting ready to go out for dinner when suddenly everything went wrong. I lost coordination, almost like I was drunk. I went numb, as if the local anesthetic that dentists use had been applied to half of my body. My arm went limp, I could barely walk and, out of the blue, I got a raging migraine. At 31 years old, I was in the midst of a transient ischemic attack, often called a ministroke, but I had no idea.
It wasn't until the next day, when I was feeling only slightly better, that I realized something was really wrong. I didn't want to wait for an appointment with my family doctor, so I called Telehealth Ontario, the provincial service that connects callers to a registered nurse via telephone. In the very back of my mind, I wondered if I'd had a stroke—but I was too young, or so I thought. But when I described my symptoms, it became clear that I wasn't too young. In fact, the nurse who took my call was worried enough to send paramedics to my house. Soon, I was in the back of an ambulance, rushing through Toronto's busy streets on the way to the hospital.
The statistics
Luckily, my stroke was mild, and, in July 2015, I underwent surgery to have a patent foramen ovale closure device inserted to close the hole in my heart. But, to this day, I'm still shocked at how little I knew about the risks associated with stroke and heart disease, or just how common they are. As I soon learned, about 1.6 million Canadians—557,000 of them women over the age of 24—report having cardiovascular disease. And, according to a study looking at factors and behaviours affecting cardiovascular health published in 2013 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, fewer than one in 10 adult Canadians were in ideal cardiovascular health from 2003 to 2011, which means 90 percent of us are making choices that are increasing our risk for a cardiovascular event. In fact, heart disease and stroke is one of the leading causes of death for Canadian women, and most of us have at least one risk factor.
It's a club that I didn't particularly want to be a part of, but having joined, I began wondering what other women's experiences had been like.
Unlike me, when Victoria resident Carolyn Thomas started having a range of symptoms— crushing chest pain, nausea, weakness, sweating and a persistent ache down her left arm—on her 58th birthday, she immediately thought it could be a heart attack and went straight to the ER. But when she got there and told the doctor on duty about her symptoms, he said it was just acid reflux. "I remember exactly what he said," she recalls. " 'You're in the right demographic for acid reflux. Go home and call your family doctor for a prescription for antacids.' " Embarrassed and apologetic, she did just that. But her symptoms persisted for two more weeks. She eventually went back to the hospital, and this time, she was told she was suffering from what was actually one of the most serious types of heart attacks—a complete blockage of her left anterior descending artery, which is often referred to as the widow-maker.
Since then, she has recovered, but it's far from full—she had to retire early and continues to see a specialist at her regional pain clinic.
Irmine MacKenzie also went to the hospital immediately. It's been 35 years since the New Waterford, N.S., resident lost the use of her left arm and leg after suffering a stroke caused by carotid artery stenosis, narrowing of the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the brain. She was 61 years old and, having just finished eating breakfast with her husband, John, she headed to the kitchen to tackle the dishes. Suddenly, plates started dropping from her hands, shattering as they hit the floor.
After a six-week hospital stay and a three-month stint in a rehabilitation program in Halifax, she eventually learned to walk again. Her ability to manage quite well over the past three decades is clearly a testament to her grit— and maybe some kind words from a stranger. "I won't ever forget the ambulance driver who took me to the rehabilitation centre," she says. "He told me, 'We're taking you by stretcher now, but you'll be walking out of there with a cane.' " Sure enough, that's exactly what she did.
A better understanding
It has now been two years since I suffered my transient ischemic attack, and I feel like I'm still learning about heart health. I now understand the importance of cardiac rehabilitation, for one thing. When I had my stroke, I didn't know this kind of program existed—my cardiologist didn't refer me to one, but having access to dedicated professionals in a safe, encouraging environment could have helped me navigate the health-care system and guided me toward healthier choices.
One thing I found myself, Carolyn and Irmine echoing is how, as women, we must advocate for ourselves in the health-care system, ensuring that our voices are heard and our health is looked after. We need to put ourselves first, without shame or guilt. As Dr. Paula Harvey, director of the cardiovascular research program at Women's College Hospital in Toronto, says, "It comes back to education and partnership with your health provider. Don't be afraid to ask questions and be informed."
Heart health by the decade
Nearly two-thirds of all heart attacks and strokes occur in Canadians 65 or older, but younger Canadians are increasingly at risk. Here's what you need to know at every age.
In your 20s and 30s: Young people with heart-health issues are part of a growing minority. A study published in 2012 out of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine found that, over a period of 12 years, strokes among people aged 20 to 54 made up an increasingly greater proportion of strokes across all age groups, growing from about 13 percent in 1993–94 to 19 percent in 2005.
Closer to home, the Heart and Stroke Foundation says several studies predict that the rate of strokes among younger adults will double in the next 15 years. The main reason? According to Dr. Tara Sedlak, a cardiologist at Vancouver General Hospital and clinical assistant professor at The University of British Columbia, it comes down to lifestyle—high stress levels, poor eating habits, lack of exercise and smoking. Research bears this out: The University of Cincinnati study suggested that a rise in lifestyle-related risk factors (such as diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol) may contribute to a higher incidence of stroke.
But there is a way to turn the tide: As with other age groups, simple changes such as exercising regularly, quitting smoking and eating healthily could see the rates of cardiovascular disease—and, more specifically, stroke—decrease, says Dr. Paula Harvey, director of the cardiovascular research program at Women's College Hospital in Toronto.
In your 40s and 50s: Cardiovascular disease is less common among younger women, in part because of their higher estrogen levels; the hormone offers some protection to the arteries. But as women approach menopause and their estrogen levels drop, the incidence of stroke and heart attack increases.
Unfortunately, broad knowledge of their increased risk may not protect perimenopausal women from misdiagnosis. According to research by the Canadian Medical Protective Association, which provides advice, legal assistance and risk-management education to 95,000 Canadian physicians, doctors are missing the signs of stroke in patients nearly 10 percent of the time, largely because symptoms are often nonspecific—patients often complained of headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
And women, who have historically been less inclined to advocate for themselves, are particularly at risk. Research out of the University of Leeds in England showed that, between April 2004 and March 2013, 198,534 heart attack patients at National Health Service hospitals in England and Wales were initially misdiagnosed—and most of them were women. During that time, women suffering a heart attack were 50 percent more likely to be misdiagnosed compared to men.
It might be difficult to challenge doctors who tell you nothing's wrong, but Dr. Sedlak encourages women to listen to their bodies and to be firm with health-care providers about what they're experiencing. "If you feel there is a real problem, be persistent," she says.
In your 60s and beyond: Women over 65 have the most strokes of all age groups, but they still have fewer strokes than men the same age. However, a Danish study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association in 2015 found that, after 60, women tend to have more serious strokes than men—and they're more likely to survive, which can have serious repercussions on quality of life.
John Sawdon, the public education and special projects director of the Cardiac Health Foundation of Canada, explains that cardiac rehabilitation programs, which are free with a referral from your doctor, are the perfect next step for recovering cardiac patients of all ages, but they're particularly important for older Canadians, who tend to live more sedentary lives. These programs are supervised by a cardiologist and, after an assessment, are tailored by your cardiac rehab team, which usually includes nurses, physical therapists, kinesiologists and social workers. They can provide exercise training, education on heart-healthy living and stress counselling—all of which can contribute to the health and well-being of people who have heart problems. And they're effective, too: "Research has shown that those completing cardiac rehab live seven years longer than control groups," says Sawdon. It also "reduces incidence of another heart attack by 50 percent."
What's your risk?
Ninety percent of adult Canadians have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease. But while factors such as obesity, hypertension, alcohol abuse, family history and ethnicity increase everyone's risk, regardless of gender, the following three are particularly relevant to women.
Smoking: While we all know that smoking is seriously unhealthy, it can be especially damaging to women's cardiovascular health. Smoking when taking the oral contraceptive pill can drastically increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. But quitting can cut your risk within a year.
Diabetes: According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, people with diabetes are at a very high risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In fact, "they may develop heart disease 10 to 15 years earlier than individuals without diabetes."
Mental illness and stress: "Women have a higher frequency of stress-induced heart disease, and women's hearts are affected by stress and depression more than men's," says Dr. David Fitchett, a cardiologist at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and associate professor of medicine at the University of Toronto.
Heart health dictionary
Atherosclerosis: When arteries narrow and harden due to plaque buildup.
Cardiomyopathhy: Diseases of the heart muscle, which cause it to become enlarged, thick or rigid.
Cardiovascular disease: A broad term for problems with the heart and blood vessels, often due to atherosclerosis. These conditions can lead to heart attack, angina or stroke.
Heart attack: Also known as a myocardial infarction, these attacks happen when the flow of blood to a section of the heart is blocked, preventing the muscle from getting oxygen.
High blood pressure: Also called hypertension, this is when the long-term force of blood against artery walls is elevated, requiring the heart to work harder, which may eventually lead to heart disease.
Microvascular angina: A disease of the small coronary artery blood vessels. Many angiograms do not view the small blood vessels, so this can be difficult to diagnose.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection: A tear in the coronary artery wall. Physical or emotional stress appears to play a role. Most cases (around 70 percent) occur in women under 50—and a third of those are pregnant or postpartum women.
Stroke: When the blood supply to a portion of the brain is interrupted. This can happen when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain either bursts or is blocked.
Featuring Emma Stone, Amy Adams, Meryl Streep and more!
Pair red carpet veterans such as Amy Adams and Emma Stone with fashion's newest "it girl", Ruth Negga, and you've got yourself a highly entertaining awards season. It all culminates with Hollywood's biggest night, the Academy Awards, and we're on pins and needles to see which fabulous gown the Oscar-nominated actresses will wear. Here are some recent runway looks that we would love to see have their own red carpet moment.
Amy Adams
Although Adams isn't nominated for her role in the sci-fi box office smash, Arrival, the movie itself earned eight nominations, including best picture.
Adams almost always strikes all the right notes on the red carpet while favouring Veronica Lake waves and body-conscious gowns in a jewel tone hues.
We think the 42-year-old will go for something a little more subdued because of the lack of a nomination. We're banking on a black staples column gown, similar to this Armani Privé beauty from the spring/summer collection.
Ruth Negga
We're keeping a close eye on the Ethiopian-Irish actress who's been nominated for her portrayal of Mildred Loving in Loving. Negga wowed us all at this year's Golden Globes when she showed up in a fitted silver sequined Louis Vuitton gown, complete with a gold centre zipper.
Although we haven't seen a lot of her at big fashion events, from the looks of things she's a risk taker and she adores a good embellishment such as lace, beading or sequins. We're thinking she'll show up in something covered in lace with glittering embellishments, like this gown from Givenchy pre-fall 2017.
Emma Stone
Nominated for best leading role in LaLa Land, Stone is the favourite to take home the little gold man, along with slaying it on the red carpet.
Not only does she always nail it on the big screen, but her gown and hair and makeup selections are always top notch. But the best thing about Stone's red carpet style is she's never boring, always shaking up her gown and designer selections. This award season alone we've seen her in Chanel, Valentino and Alexander McQueen. We're feeling a floral vibe with a wee bit of colour and tons of tulle, like this Zuhair Murad gown.
Check out Stone's best red carpet moment over the years.
Meryl Streep
This year Streep became the actor with the most Academy Award nominations ever—her nom for Florence Foster Jenkins bumps it up to 20! Meaning, she broke her own record.
Though Streep is much more known for her acting chops than her red carpet moments, she's always true to her own esthetic. She's been spotted wearing Givenchy at the last few red carpet events, but we think she'll try something else, something dramatic and simple, like this cape-back silky gown from Valentino.
Check out Streep's biggest career moment here!
Natalie Portman
From architectural masterpieces to classic old Hollywood glamour, the Academy Award winner and nominated (this year for Jackie) star has had some stand-out red carpet moments.
At the Golden Globes this year the expectant mom breezed onto the red carpet in a vintage-esque sunny Prada gown. Portman channelled Kennedy Onassis with a modern take on the former first lady's iconic bouffant, classic makeup and wore a dress similar to a yellow frock that she once wore to the Metropolitan Opera House in 1975.
Although she'll likely be wearing a custom gown because of how far along she is in her pregnancy, we think it will be less saturated and more glittery, something with an empire waist and a centred slit, like this sequinned-embellished georgette Zuhair Murad gown.
Michelle Williams
Williams, who is nominated for best-supporting actress for her role in Manchester by the Sea has been owning the red carpet all season long. She's the current celeb spokesperson for Louis Vuitton so we know she'll likely be clad in one of the French fashion houses gowns.
This reversible cowl will keep you super warm on those cold, winter days.
The Whistler Cowl is a stunning accessory that looks beautiful on everyone. The cowl has a cabled stitch pattern and is completely reversible. It is knit in Mezcla de Lujo yarn – a luxurious worsted weight yarn made of 70% merino wool and 30% cashmere. This cowl was originally created as a gift, and it is an extra-special way to show someone you care.
Knitting Tips:
The Whistler Cowl is of intermediate difficulty, and it is a great opportunity to learn a new stitch pattern. The reversible cable stitch is created by alternating knit and purl stitches (as you do to create the rib stitch) and then crossing the stitches over one another (as you do to create one-sided cable stitches). While you may find the stitch pattern tricky at first, the remarkable results are more than worth the effort.
Note: We used a modified 3 needle bind off technique for the finishing on our sample. If you prefer an easier version, simply cast-on right away with your working yarn and end by seaming the cast on edge to the cast off edge.

Note about the yarn: Mezcla De Lujo is available through Americo Original online and at select yarn stores. You can substitute with Americo's Superwash Merino, Pluma, Alpaca Worsted, Worsted Merino or with any suitable heavy DK or Worsted weight yarns in your stash.

Before you begin:
NOTE: We used a modified 3 needle bind off technique for the finishing on our sample. If you prefer an easier version, simply cast-on right away with your working yarn and end by seaming the cast on edge to the cast off edge.
For the modified 3-needle bind off technique: using a scrap piece of yarn in a contrasting colour and 5.5 mm (US 9) size needles, cast on 72 stitches. Change to your main colour and work to the end but leave your stitches on the needle.
Unpick the provisional scrap yarn from the cast on edge, placing the stitches on a spare needle. Join the cast on edge to the cast off edge using a 3-needle bind off: www.knittinghelp.com/videos/binding-off
Using 5.5 mm (US 9) needles, cast on 72 stitches.
