Hawaii, constituent state of the United States of America. Hawaii (Hawaiian: Hawai'i) became the 50th U.S. state on August 21, 1959. Hawaii is a group of volcanic islands in the central Pacific Ocean. The islands lie 2,397 miles (3,857 km) from San Francisco, California, to the east and 5,293 miles (8,516 km) from Manila, in the Philippines, to the west. The capital is Honolulu, located on the island of Oahu.
Hawaii was characterized by Mark Twain as "the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean." The name is thought to derive from Hawaiki, the former name of Raiatea, the ancestral home of Polynesians.
Hawaii is economically vigorous, with diversified agriculture and manufacturing. Hawaiian activities of national and international importance include research and development in oceanography, geophysics, astronomy, satellite communications, and biomedicine. Often called the Crossroads of the Pacific, the state is strategically important to the global defense system of the United States and serves as a transportation hub of the Pacific basin. Finally, Hawaii is a cultural centre and a major tourist mecca. Area 10,970 square miles (28,412 square km). Population (2010) 1,360,301; (2018 est.) 1,420,491.
The land area of the state of Hawaii consists of the tops of a chain of emerged volcanic mountains that form 8 major islands and 124 islets, stretching in a 1,500-mile (2,400-km) crescent from Kure Island in the west to the island of Hawaii in the east. The eight major islands at the eastern end of the chain are, from west to east, Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and Hawaii. Each volcanic mountain formed during the transit of the Pacific Plate across a hotspot (a region of Earth's upper mantle that upwells to melt through the crust) located beneath the central Pacific Ocean, and erupting magma added mass to the crust above.
The origin of Hawaii's islands, islets, and seamounts can be traced to at least 70 million years ago, near the end of the Cretaceous Period (145 million to 66 million years ago). Volcanic activity has become dormant, with the exception of the emergent volcanoes of Mauna Loa, Kilauea, and the Lō'ihi Seamount. Mauna Loa and Kilauea are located on the easternmost and largest island, Hawaii (often referred to as the "Big Island"), where spectacular eruptions and lava flows take place from time to time. The Lō'ihi Seamount, a growing volcano that could break the surface of the ocean tens of thousands of years from the present, is located 18.6 miles (30 km) southeast of the island of Hawaii. The highest Hawaiian mountains are Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, both on the island of Hawaii, reaching 13,796 feet (4,205 metres) and 13,678 feet (4,169 metres) above sea level, respectively.
There has been little erosion in the geologically young areas, where the terrain is domelike or scattered with hardened lava, and the volcanic craters are clearly defined. In the older areas the mountains have been shaped and eroded by sea, rain, and wind. Their aspects thus include sharp and craggy silhouettes; abrupt, vertically grooved cliffs pocked with caves; deep valleys; collapsed craters (calderas); and coastal plains. The powerful Pacific surf, churning and crashing against the fringing coral shelves and the lava shorelines, has carried minute shells onto the shore and reduced coral and large shells to sand, creating the state's famous expanses of beach.
Heavy rainfall in mountainous areas produces an extremely voluminous runoff, which is responsible for the erosion that forms the numerous grooves, ridges, and V-shaped valleys characteristic of the older volcanic islands such as Kauai and Oahu. The action of rain combined with waves has had a particularly dramatic effect on the more exposed windward sections of the islands.
Because the topography of Hawaii is generally abruptly descending or sloping, there are few surfaces that collect water. Excess rainfall seeps through porous mountain areas to gather in subterranean chambers and layers retained by less-permeable lava and ash beds, or it is prevented by underlying salt water from seeping to the sea. The resultant artesian water supply is tapped for use in irrigation and also for human consumption. Many streams in Hawaii are intermittent, depending on the volume of rainfall. The island of Kauai has numerous perennial streams, the largest of which is the Wailua River.
As a result of the weathering of basaltic lava and volcanic ash, Hawaii is rich in arable soils. Given local conditions, with variations in rainfall and organic matter, the islands contain a wide variety of soils. Of these the most significant are the andisols and mollisols that are the product of lava flows that occurred more than 3,000 years ago on the islands of Maui and Hawaii and that are agriculturally productive when irrigated. Also suitable for agriculture are the oxisols of Oahu and Kauai, both of which are red from iron oxidation.
Hawaii lies just below the Tropic of Cancer, and its mild tropical climate is considered by many people to be the world's ideal. Although the weather is often humid by U.S. mainland standards, temperatures are conditioned by the northeast trade winds, which prevail most of the year and make living on the islands delightfully comfortable. As moisture-laden air is carried over the islands, most frequently by the trade winds, it is apt to condense, form cap clouds, and dissipate against the shores and mountains of the windward coasts, which are therefore more lush in foliage than the leeward coasts.
Most Hawaiians recognize only two seasons: summer and winter. Summer (kau) lasts from May through October, with high temperatures and reliable trade winds. The rainy season, winter (ho'oilo), lasts from November to April, with cooler temperatures and frequent rainstorms.
The average temperature in Honolulu is in the low 70s F (about 22 °C) in the coolest month and in the high 70s F (about 26 °C) in the warmest, though extreme temperatures in the high 50s F (about 14 °C) and low 90s F (about 33 °C) have been recorded there. The average water temperatures off Waikiki Beach in Honolulu range from the mid-70s F (about 24 °C) in late February to the high 70s F (about 26 °C) in late September. The temperature falls about 3.5 °F (2 °C) with every 1,000 feet (300 metres) of elevation, so mountainous regions are considerably cooler, especially during the winter months, when there can be frost; a temperature of 1.4 °F (−17 °C) has been recorded on the summit of Mauna Kea, and winter snows frequently blanket the crests of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
Rainfall variations throughout the state are dramatic. Mount Waialeale, on the island of Kauai, is often called the wettest spot on Earth, with an annual average rainfall of about 450 inches (11,430 mm). The driest area of the state is at Kawaihae, on the island of Hawaii, where the average annual rainfall is only about 9 inches (220 mm). The average yearly rainfall in Honolulu is 23 inches (590 mm), and in Hilo, one of the state's wettest cities, it is about 130 inches (3,300 mm).
Plant and animal life
The plants and animals that have migrated to Hawaii evolved in a relatively benign environment, creating species that live nowhere else on the planet. The seeds of endemic plant species were carried to Hawaii by birds, winds, or currents and tides, bringing about extensive forestation, shrubbery, and grasslands where soil and precipitation were favourable. However, as greater and greater numbers of species were introduced by humans, either purposely or accidentally, the native species, both plant and animal, came under increasing pressure. About one-third of the more than 1,000 animal species that the U.S. government has declared threatened or endangered are located in Hawaii. More than 1,000,000 acres (400,00 hectares) of land in the state have been set aside in an attempt to protect native ecosystems.
Polynesians and Europeans introduced mongooses, rats, frogs, toads, and, in the more remote regions of some of the islands, deer, sheep, pigs, and goats. Endemic birds, which may have evolved from a small number of original immigrants and which have been isolated from others of their kind, have taken on certain characteristics of their own. These include the nene (Hawaiian goose), the Hawaiian stilt, and a variety of small forest birds known as honeycreepers. Some species of birds have become extremely rare, but, as the result of an increased environmental awareness, steps have been taken to preclude their extinction. Seabirds nest in profusion on the western islands of the archipelago and to a far lesser extent among the major eastern islands. There has been considerable importation of birdlife. Mynas, sparrows, cardinals, and doves live in the trees in both urban and rural areas. Every autumn the small golden plover make an awe-inspiring, nonstop 3,000-mile (4,800-km) flight from Alaska to Hawaii, where they spend the winter, together with ducks from Alaska, Canada, and the northwestern United States.
The insect population contains about 10,000 native species, of which about nine-tenths are unique to the islands. The ocean sustains a diversity of marine ecosystems, from tide pools to the deep ocean floor, with about one-fourth of all the species being unique to Hawaii. The waters surrounding the islands are home to a wide variety of marine mammals, including about a dozen species of whales.
Population composition
Most anthropologists believe that the original settlement of Hawaii was by Polynesians who migrated northwest from the Marquesas Islands between the 4th and 7th centuries ce, to be followed by a second wave of immigrants that sailed from Tahiti during the 9th or 10th century. The capabilities demonstrated by the revival of the use of the voyaging canoe and traditional navigation methods in Hawaii beginning in the 1970s indicate that the islands may not have been as isolated after their initial colonization as was once thought; indeed, there may have been considerable purposeful voyaging between Hawaii and far-flung Polynesian destinations. Still, Hawaii's isolation was great enough that Hawaiian culture developed its own distinctive characteristics, even though there are still rather close resemblances in language and culture between the Hawaiians and their Polynesian relatives.
The original Hawaiians were highly skilled in fishing and farming. By the late 18th century their society had evolved into a complex one with a rigid system of laws set down by chiefs and priests. They worshipped and feared a group of gods not unlike the ancient Greek deities of Mount Olympus in character and power.
The arrival of foreigners to Hawaii began after British Capt. James Cook came upon the islands in 1778. During the ensuing four decades, European and American explorers, adventurers, trappers, and whalers stopped for fresh supplies at the Hawaiian Islands—contact that would have a profound effect on the islanders. Not the least of these effects was the introduction of diseases from both the East and the West against which the islanders, theretofore virtually disease-free, had no natural immunities. Venereal disease, cholera, measles, and tuberculosis all contributed to the decimation of the native peoples, whose population fell from approximately 300,000 to fewer than 40,000 by the 1890s, little more than a century later.
The collapse of the population, coupled with the impact of outside cultures, most likely caused crisis in Hawaiian society and sparked social and political change. Most notably, Hawaiians, led by members of the royal family, overthrew the complex kapu (taboo) system of laws and punishments in 1819. Loss of faith in the old gods, intense curiosity about the ways of people of the United States and Europe, and avid interest in learning to read and write brought about a swift adoption of Christianity on the part of many Hawaiians. The first group of Christian missionaries arrived from the United States in 1820, and by the mid-19th century Hawaii was largely a Christian kingdom, with a small but significant European and American population.
Since that time the ethnic and religious makeup of Hawaii has undergone dramatic change. As the number of Native Hawaiians declined, other ethnic groups arrived, mainly to work on the plantations. Contract labourers came first from China, then from Japan, the Azores, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Korea. They were joined by immigrants from the U.S. mainland, Europe, and elsewhere in the Pacific. Over the course of two centuries, people from all over the world had settled in Hawaii, creating a multiethnic society. Each group brought its own customs, languages, and religions into the Hawaiian way of life, broadening it far beyond its Polynesian cultural origins. The descendants of these later settlers now far outnumber the descendants of the original Hawaiians. There is also a continuous influx and outflow of military personnel and their dependents as a result of Hawaii's importance as a base for all branches of the U.S. armed forces.
The two official languages of Hawaii are English and Hawaiian. In the early 1990s the Hawaiian language was all but extinct, spoken by only a handful of Native Hawaiians. However, a program that established Hawaiian-language immersion schools created a new generation of Hawaiian speakers, and instruction in Hawaiian is now offered from kindergarten through the graduate school level. The language also lives on in place-names and street names and in songs. Most Hawaiian residents can also speak what has come to be called Hawaiian Creole English. Commonly referred to as pidgin, Hawaiian Creole English is a dialect of English created by children in the multilingual environment of Hawaiian plantation camps. Hawaiian Creole English has been used increasingly in Hawaiian fiction, poetry, and drama.
With a continued influx of Asian immigrants as well as tourists from Asia, notably from Japan, Hawaii has remained multilingual. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and several major Filipino languages are widely spoken, and it is not uncommon to see signage in these languages. The largest religious groups are Roman Catholics and Protestants. There are, however, small but important groups of Buddhists and of adherents of other Asian religions.
Settlement patterns
Until the end of World War II, Hawaii's population was scattered in rural settlements, ranging from tiny fishing villages far off the main roads, scant clusters of small houses in isolated valleys, and solitary farm or ranch houses to large coastal and upland villages and plantation and ranch towns.
During the 1950s and '60s there was a building boom in Hawaii of such magnitude that the configuration of entire towns was altered. Single-family dwellings, individual businesses and shops, small markets, and three- or four-story hotels were overrun by high-rise hotels and apartment buildings, shopping centres, and supermarkets. The most graphic example of this was in the city of Honolulu, where construction of 30- and 40-story buildings gave the city—once sprawling and low—a thrusting, multileveled skyline. The Waikiki area on Oahu became so densely built up that (despite its world-famous beach) it transformed into an urban resort. Resort development on the other islands, notably Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii, was better planned, with less density and more open space along the shorelines. On Oahu, much agricultural land was developed for housing, rural towns became suburbs, and a second city, Kapolei, was founded in 1990 on the leeward plains, once home to vast sugarcane fields.
Most of the state's residents live on Oahu, and nearly three-fourths of them reside in Honolulu proper and its metropolitan area. Because there are vast areas of Oahu still devoted to agriculture and forest reserves, the majority of the population actually resides in high-density clusters. Honolulu is the only legally incorporated town or city in the state.
Many of the older houses in agricultural villages on the islands are largely raised frame structures, often with corrugated-iron roofs. More modern homes are found in some smaller towns. Plants of native origin skirt the foundations of homes, and the yards are informally planted with fruit and flower trees. In all but the smallest villages, there are a school, markets, a post office, a fire station, and at least one church.
Since the late 1990s the population of the state has increased substantially, largely due to immigration from the Philippines, China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. By the early 21st century, Asians were the dominant ethnic group, accounting for about two-fifths of the total population.
Hawaii ranks relatively low among U.S. states in terms of personal income, farm products sold, value of manufacturing shipments, retail sales, and bank deposits. Largely because of its insularity and dependence on imports, Hawaii has a high cost of living. Transportation costs are included in the prices of nearly all consumer goods. As Hawaii's population rose, housing became increasingly difficult to acquire, and it is disproportionately expensive when compared with housing costs in many mainland states. Building materials, most of which are imported, are expensive. Historically, residential land has been limited and highly priced, since much of the property, notably on Oahu, is owned by corporations and trusts (though legislation has largely remedied this situation for owners of single-family homes if not for condominium owners). One solution to the shortages and expense associated with urban housing has been the development of mixed-housing communities consisting of single-family homes, high-rise dwellings, townhouses, and apartment complexes.
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing
Agriculture is a major component of the local economy. Since the first Polynesian settlement on the islands, a tremendous variety of food and ornamental plant life from many parts of the world has been introduced. Food plants grown commercially or in backyards for home consumption include sugarcane, pineapple, papaya, banana, mango, guava, litchi, coconut, avocado, breadfruit, lime, passion fruit, taro, and tamarind, though sugarcane and pineapple production have decreased as the world market for them has been changed by lower labour costs in other pineapple- and sugarcane-producing places such as the Philippines. Nearly all varieties of common garden vegetables are raised on the islands, and flowers abound year-round. Since the early 2000s there has been a slow but steady growth of diversified crops, including coffee, macadamia nuts, ginger root, and seed crops. Most of Hawaii's islands have ranches, with the majority concentrated on the Big Island, where the ranching tradition dates from the 1830s. Mexican vaqueros (cowboys) taught Hawaiians how to manage their herds, beginning a tradition of paniolos, or Hawaiian cowboys, who derived their name from these vaqueros and predated the cowboys of the American West. The paniolos still run their ranches in much the same way today. Livestock raising, together with some lumbering and commercial fishing, are other important sources of income. Nearly half of the commercial fish catch is tuna, especially yellowfin.
Resources and power
Hawaii has no important mineral deposits; its only natural resources are its climate, water supply, soil, vegetation, and surrounding ocean, as well as the rock, gravel, sand, and earth quarried for use in construction and landscaping. Electric power is supplied by a small number of power companies operating oil-powered steam and diesel generators. Several military installations and some private institutions generate their own power. A small amount of hydroelectric power is generated on several of the islands, and in the mid-1980s a geothermal plant began producing electricity on Hawaii, which supplies about one-fifth of the total electricity to the island. On Maui, the Kaheawa wind farm was opened in 2006. Hawaii still relies on imported oil for most of its energy, but the state has set out to increase its use of renewable energy sources.
Hawaii has several hundred companies engaged in diversified manufacturing. Heavy-manufacturing plants, using raw materials for the most part imported from the U.S. mainland, include oil refineries that produce a variety of petroleum products and chemical compounds, a concrete-pipe plant, and an aluminum-extrusion plant. Heavy manufacturing is confined mainly to the island of Oahu. Most lumber is imported from the mainland. A number of garment manufacturers, largely situated in Honolulu, produce printed fabrics and apparel marketed locally, nationally, and abroad.
A wide variety of Hawaii-grown foodstuffs, sold locally and exported to the mainland, are processed in the state. These include Asian and Hawaiian food specialties as well as tropical fruit juices, jams and jellies, candies, coffee, macadamia nuts, and various alcoholic beverages. Exports include sugar, garments, flowers, and canned fish. Major imports are fuel, vehicles, food, and clothing.
Services, labour, and taxation
Tourism is Hawaii's largest industry. Expansion has been particularly rapid since World War II, and the growth has resulted in part from continued improvements in transportation and the stimulus provided by the state government and local businesses. The majority of visitors come from the U.S. mainland, Canada, Australia, and Asia, particularly Japan. Cruise ships make regular stops in Honolulu, and interisland luxury cruises are available. About half of the hotel units are on Oahu, chiefly in Waikiki and the adjacent Ala Moana area. Visitors have access to a wide range of recreational and cultural facilities, including golf courses, tennis courts, parks, surfing sites, beaches, restaurants, theatres, musical attractions, and sporting events. Tourism has helped Hawaii to become the centre of the international market of the Pacific basin. Capital investment by U.S. mainland and foreign companies has increased tremendously.
About one in four Hawaiian workers belong to a union, making the state among the most unionized in the country. Major Hawaiian manufacturing industries are unionized, as are many of the service and construction industries. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), the state's largest private-sector union, has an important and turbulent history. In 1949 its members held a six-month dock strike against the five shipping companies that controlled most of Hawaii's economic activity (mainly the sugar and pineapple plantations). All shipping to and from the islands was stopped. The union's successful action helped strengthen the Hawaiian Democratic Party, allowing it to more ably challenge the Republicans, who had been in power since the annexation of Hawaii in 1900. With the decline of sugar and pineapple production since the early 2000s, however, the ILWU's influence in Hawaii has faded, and it has been superseded in membership by the Hawaii Government Employees Association, which has had considerable political clout.
State taxes are collected under a centralized tax system. The chief sources of the state's revenue are a general excise tax, individual income taxes, and federal grants-in-aid.
Ocean surface transportation is Hawaii's lifeline, and Honolulu Harbor, with its extensive docks, warehouses, and storage sheds, is the centre of Hawaiian shipping. A large percentage of the cargo ships ply between Hawaii and California ports, a few between Hawaii and the East Coast of the United States via the Panama Canal, and others between Hawaii and western Pacific island ports. Tug-pulled barges and small freighters transport goods from Honolulu to the outer islands, returning with agricultural crops and livestock.
The majority of voyagers to and from Hawaii travel by air, as do most interisland passengers. The major civilian airports capable of serving large-jet traffic are Honolulu International Airport, on Oahu; Hilo International Airport at Hilo and Kona International Airport at Keahole in Kailua-Kona, both on Hawaii; and the Kahului Airport, on Maui. There are several smaller airports and a number of small private airfields on the islands. Military authorities maintain a number of airports throughout the state.
Hawaiian roads range from narrow country paths to multilane freeways, which are most common on Oahu. Most of the roads follow lowland contours, circling the islands along or near the shorelines and crossing islands only between mountain ranges. There are many spectacular mountain roads providing dramatic vistas. On Oahu two tunnels bring traffic from the heads of two valleys behind Honolulu through the Koolau Range and out into the windward, or northeastern, side of the island.

Corliss Lamont served as a director of the American Civil Liberties Union from 1932–1954, and as chairman of the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, which successfully challenged Senator Joseph McCarthy's senate subcommittee and other government agencies. In the process Lamont was cited for contempt of Congress, but in 1956 an appeals court overturned his indictment. From 1951 until 1958, he was denied a passport by the State Department.
In 1965 he secured a Supreme Court ruling against censorship of incoming mail by the U.S. Postmaster General. In 1973 he discovered through Freedom of Information Act requests that the FBI had been tapping his phone, and scrutinizing his tax returns and cancelled checks for 30 years. His subsequent successful lawsuit set a precedent in upholding citizens' privacy rights. He also filed and won a suit against the Central Intelligence Agency for opening his mail.
Corliss Lamont was president emeritus of the American Humanist Association, and in 1977 was named Humanist of the Year. In 1981, he received the Gandhi Peace Award. In 1998 Lamont received a posthumous Distinguished Humanist Service Award from the International Humanist and Ethical Union, and he was one of the signers of the Humanist Manifesto.
Corliss Lamont is also the author of The Illusion of Immortality, The Philosophy of Humanism, Freedom of Choice Affirmed, A Humanist Wedding Service, and A Humanist Funeral Service, each available from Humanist Press.

Steve Mizerak Championship Down to 16
Steve Mizerak Championship Day 2
Down to 16 Top Billiards Players
And then there was 16. Day 2 picked up the excitement right where it was left from day 1. There was a definite sense of anticipation and focus coming from all the players that stepped into the field of play today. The stakes are high and the players didn't want to make that one mistake that could send them packing.
Hunter Lombardo was on of those players who refused to let the big stakes affect his play. He faced defending Mizerak Champion Earl Strickland on the first feature table match-up. Lombardo jumped to an early lead and wouldn't look back. Strickland seemed helpless at times, while Lombardo would not give him any opportunities at a decent shot. Lombardo would move on with a 9-5 victory.
This event is also for Mosconi Cup points and with this and the US Open 9-ball being the last events that will determine the United States team, several players are scrambling to accumulate as many points as possible.

Leisurely strolling down Main Street, I ran across a new business in town.
Nola Eberly, Aamah Williams and Jett Williams had set up a lemonade stand in front of the Eagles Lodge at Main and First.
Why did they start a lemonade stand? "We all need money," said Nola. "Besides, Aamah is moving out of town, and it gives us more time to hang out."
Why 76¢ for lemonade? "So people will give us a dollar and let us keep the change," said Aamah.
I believe she has her business plan worked out. They should do well in their adult life.

Hilarion Alfeyev, the Metropolitan of Volokolamsk, located 80 miles northwest of Moscow, has a very big job. As head of external relations for the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church, Hilarion is responsible for talking to global Christianity on behalf of the 150 million people in Russian Orthodoxy worldwide.
Given his gift for languages, Hilarion arose as an easy pick for the job by Russian Patriarch Kirill. This year, the Russian-American Institute, a faith-based educational and support organization (formerly the Russian-American Christian University), helped Hilarion interact with a cross-section of evangelicals around the United States for the first time. Christianity Today deputy managing editor Timothy C. Morgan interviewed Hilarion while he was in Washington, D.C.
What's the purpose of your trip?
To establish contacts and to find common positions. Often we are in circles in our own ecclesiastical environment and don't communicate with those who might be our allies.
With regard to evangelical leaders, until recently we didn't have any systematic collaboration or dialogue or conversation. Many evangelicals share conservative positions with us on such issues as abortion, the family, and marriage.
Do you want vigorous grassroots engagement between Orthodox and evangelicals?
Yes, on problems, for example, like the destruction of the family. Many marriages are split. Many families have either one child or no child.
There are many incomplete families, not to speak of various homosexual unions, which are equated with the family. This completely changes the whole picture of human relationships. It directly affects the future of many nations. The sign of a spiritually healthy nation ...1

Banks have long argued that overdrafts, which allow customers to draw accounts below zero for a fee, are a service that consumers value. Consumers groups counter that the vested interest banks have in encouraging account holders to overdraw has to be met with hard-and-fast rules limiting overdrafts and the cost of the service. "We want to see the bureau use its authority to really reform the way overdraft and checking account programs work," said Rebecca Borne, a researcher with the Center for Responsible Lending.

Preventing Heart Disease: Know Risk to No Risk
Dr K Srinath Reddy
Nearly half of these deaths occur under the age of 70 years. India lost 9.2 million potentially productive years of life due to heart disease related deaths occurring prematurely in the age group of 35-64 years in 2000. This loss will reach 17.9 million years by 2030. In comparison with USA, India's loss was 570% more in 2000 and will be 940% more in 2030. A country which wishes to position itself as a major economic power in the 21st century cannot afford such hemorrhaging of precious human resources in the productive prime of life.
While socio-economic transitions (living habits altered by urbanization and globalization) and demographic transitions (increasing life expectancy, with more deaths occurring at older ages) contribute to the rise in the risk of heart diseases, much of the risk is avoidable. Many of the deaths due to heart attacks and strokes can be prevented or at least postponed to a much older age, with very few succumbing before 80 years.
Our ability to prevent the onset of these diseases and slow down their progression depends on the knowledge of the factors which increase or decrease the risk of developing disease. Extensive scientific evidence, from several countries, clearly demonstrates that behavioural risk factors like an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco consumption and stress lead to elevation of biological risk factors like blood pressure cholesterol (and other harmful fats) and sugar. Increased body weight and an expanding waist circumference mediate between these behavioural and biological risk factors.
All of these risk factors operate along a continuous risk gradient – it is better to have a blood pressure of 120/80 than 130/85 which is preferable to 140/90 or more. Since the mid-range values occur in maximum numbers of people in any population, more heart attacks arise from the many people who have modest elevations of risk factors than in the few who have very high levels (akin to C K Prahlad's book Base of the Pyramid). When many risk factors co-exist, the risk is additive. Thus, many people with 'mild' elevations of several risk factors end up with a high risk of heart attacks. It is important for doctors to do a full risk profiling of all major risk factors to estimate the composite or 'absolute' risk of developing a heart attack or stroke in the near future. Based on that estimate of individual risk, decisions on lifestyle advice and drug therapy can be customized. Every contact between any healthcare provider and a person seeking healthcare must be utilized for risk assessment and 'missed opportunities' for early detection must be minimized in primary healthcare.
People too must recognize that many of these risk factors can be prevented or reduced by exercising intelligent choices. Keeping away from tobacco greatly reduce the risk of a heart attack while smoking greatly magnifies the risk posed by high blood pressure or diabetes. Reducing salt consumption reduces the number of deaths due to strokes by 22% and those from heart attacks by 16%. Avoiding unhealthy fats, reducing refined sugars and increasing the intake of fruit and vegetables further reduce the risk substantially. Physical inactivity increases the risk by 1.5 times while even moderate activity, regularly performed, is very protective. With such healthy habits, risk factors such as body weight, belly fat, blood pressure, blood sugar and blood fats can be kept under check. The World Health Organization believes that 75% of the risk can be prevented by such measures.
It is also useful for adults, especially those with a family history of premature heart disease, to undertake regular check-ups for identification of risk factors and estimation of the 'absolute' risk. 'Knowing the risk' means that the person concerned as well as the physician can take effective measures to reduce it. Through a judicious combination of lifestyle measures (always needed) and drugs (whenever needed), much of the risk can be avoided or reversed. It is then very much possible to proceed to a 'No Risk' status. That is why the theme for the World Heart Day adopted in 2008 - "Know Your Risk" is very relevant.

11 Things You Need To Know Today (July 14)
1. Ronda Rousey isn't interested in being perfect.
In an ad for Reebok's #PerfectNever campaign, UFC champion Ronda Rousey has some surprising words for her haters: "Here's the thing about being perfect. Perfect never gets truly tested. Perfect never gets to silence its critics. Perfect never has a shot at redemption." Oh yeah, we can definitely get behind that. (Reebok)
2. Do artificial sweeteners make you hungrier?
In an animal study, researchers found that artificial sweeteners boosted appetite by activating hunger pathways in the body. Still, scientists aren't yet sure whether they have the same effect in humans. (BBC)
3. Is Jennifer Aniston pregnant? No. Is she fed up with the rumors? Yes.
"I'm fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of 'journalism,' the 'First Amendment,' and 'celebrity news,'" she writes in a blog post for the Huffington Post. She calls out the tabloid media for the way that it objectifies women and defines a woman's value based on her marital and maternal status. As her husband, Justin Theroux, wrote in an Instagram post, #gogirl. (mindbodygreen)
4. When all is said and done, nearly half of the food we produce is thrown away.
Not only are consumers throwing away produce at home, but farmers, packers, wholesalers, truckers, food academics, and campaigners are throwing away a huge amount of "flawed" produce before it even hits shelves to save the expense and labor involved in harvest. (The Guardian)
5. Running might make you smarter.
According to a new study involving mice and monkeys, running isn't just good for the body—it's good for the brain. The study found that after running, mice became faster learners. So if you're really looking to improve your intelligence, you might want to put down that boring textbook and go for a run instead. (NYT)
6. It's official: Chemicals in plastic are nearly impossible to avoid.
In a first-of-its-kind study, a family of five completely rid their home of plastic for several months to see if doing so would reduce the chemical burden in their bodies. The results show that it did not and in their case, "It was impossible to achieve any further lasting reduction in the concentration of these ever-present substances." (ScienceDaily)
7. More women over 40 are having babies than women under 20.
For the first time in 70 years, women in the UK who are post-40 have a higher fertility rate than teenagers. Plus, the average age of giving birth is now 30.3, a stat that has been increasing every year since 1975. (BBC)
8. Climate change deniers are dropping like flies.
A recent poll found that the number of Americans who are alarmed about the potential effects of climate change has climbed 5 percent in the last year alone. (Inside Climate News)
9. Olympic medalist April Ross says going vegan actually made her stronger.
The Olympic volleyball player never thought she could go vegan because of how much physical activity she does. But then, during her last off-season, she started experimenting with a plant-based diet, and she found that she didn't miss meat at all—and neither did her body. "I'm at my strongest," she said in a promo video for Beyond Meat. "My power-to-weight ratio is the highest it's ever been." (mindbodygreen)
10. Your response to coffee might depend on your genes.
Ever wondered why coffee makes some people thrive while it leaves others jittery and anxious? New research suggests it's because of variants in one of our genes that determines how quickly our bodies are able to break down caffeine. (NYT)
11. Slowly back away from the 50-pound weights.
As it turns out, you barre instructor who has you lifting 2-pound weights may be on to something. According to new research, lifting light weights is just as effective as lifting heavy ones when it comes to building muscle—just make sure you're doing more repetitions. (ScienceDaily)

SCA is leading the grassroots, national and global, multidisciplinary advocacy effort that:
For far too long, chaplaincy has been a fragmented and divided field that has not spoken up for itself.
If we do not speak up, professional chaplaincy will be marginalized.
If we do not speak up, the next generation of chaplains will suffer.
If we do not speak up, people in spiritual distress will not receive the spiritual care that they desire.
That must change!

I hope you all had a great valentines day, filled with love and and happiness, or if you're anything like me, filled with pizza and self loathing. One thing that will never let you down is First Star, Worst Star!
I'm one of those people that thinks enforcers are going the way of the Dodo bird, and that overall the NHL will be better off for it. HOWEVER, every once in a while those guys still put on a hell of a show, and boy howdy did Chris Neil and Luke Gazdic bring the people in Canadian Tire Centre to their feet!
This was about as old-school as fights come now a days. Just two big galoots tossing bombs!
The Oilers had just went down 4-2 at this point, so Luke Gazdic stepped up, pumped his team up and motivated them to an incredible comeback victory! JUST KIDDING THE SENS SCORED 3 MORE GOALS AFTER AND THE OILERS LOST 7-2! Still one hell of a scrap though!
And the Sens are also probably super happy about it, since Chris Neil, whose name has been floating around in trade deadline rumors for a while now, ended up breaking his thumb on Gazdic's titanium face. Good times all around!
All in all it was a super entertaining fight, and as an Oilers fan this is pretty much the absolute most you can hope for in any game these days.
It's been a rough week for Tyler Seguin. First he got caught up in some dumb, non-controversy sparked by a couple of (what I can only assume are) horrible Howard Stern wannabes. (And for the record I think the over the top pearl clutching and the screeches for apologies was by far the stupidest part.)
THEN he and Benn continued their Ill-Advised-Off-Ice-Activities tour by torturing their poor mothers with a "hilarious" "prank".
Finally he ended the week with a trip to the long term IR list thanks to an incredibly questionable hit from Dmitry Kulikov.
Early reports say he'll miss between 3 and 6 weeks, which I'm sure is EXACTLY the type of news the Dallas Stars and their fans were hoping to get as the team started to claw their way back into the wild card race. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this season is not unfolding the way the Stars had hoped going in…

Yeah that's right there is quite a lot of contradictions in the various books of Star Wars's continuity, and even in the movies!
How many times did we see C3PO eyes shutted down, but was able to see! And as you said, the numerous examples about the SSD lenght are just ridiculous.
You are right about the purity of Lucas vision, may be should we just concentrate on the canon movies.
But some times the EU is quite enjoyable and provide interesting insight on some aspects of SW and should not be completely dismissed, in my opinion.
But I've only read a few books so I don't know if EU is so crappy...
And anyway, if there was no contradiction, there would have been not much to talk ;) HAHA

Saturday 11th October 1980
Midland Combination Division 1
Coleshill Town 0 v 3 Cinderford Town
P9 W0 D1 L8 F4 A25 Pts1 Pos20/20
Team: Tony Sammons, Steve Howes, Craig Provey, Paul Hevingham, Hobbs, Terry Allen, Barry Canning, John Edwards, Martin Colder, Mark Browning, Les Stonebridge. Sub Underhill.
The game began with end to end play. Sammons in the Coleshill goal saved a good header from Young in the 29th minute. From then on Coleshill took command and Stonebridge was unlucky when the Cinderford goal-keeper tipped his 40 yard drive over the bar in the 39th minute. Coleshill went close again when Edwards kicked the ball over the bar from a corner. In the 44th minute Canning drove the ball towards the corner of the net but Hock in the Cinderford goal brought off a good save.
Half Time: Coleshill 0 Cinderford 0
Coleshill, firmly in control of the goalless first half, fell away badly in the closing stages to be well beaten. They became frustrated by their own lack of success and conceded a 58th minute goal by Mayo. Smith increased the lead in the 86th minute following a free kick and put the issue beyond doubt when Foxwell added a third in the last minute following a goalmouth scramble.
The Old Story – Town Fade In Second Half
Once again Coleshill flattered to deceive. After enjoying the better of the first half exchanges and wasting several scoring chances, they faded badly in the second period and crashed to yet another defeat. Play swung from end to end in the opening stages and home keeper Sammons did well to save a snap header from Young, before Coleshill settled down to dictate matters. Both Allen and Canning went close to opening the scoring and Stonebridge was unlucky when his 40 yard drive was finger-tipped over the crossbar by Hook. Edwards ballooned the bal over from close range during a melee ensuing from a corner, and as Coleshill mounted pressure a shot from Canning looked a winner all the way, before Hook somehow got to the ball to deflect it wide. Coleshill began the second half lively enough, but in the 58th minute conceded a goal to Mayo. This setback upset Coleshill and they noticeably became frustrated by the lack of success. Cinderford increased the pace sufficiently to finish strongly and in the 86th minute Smith shot them further in front. A goalmouth scramble in the last minute enabled Foxwell to nip in and net the visitors third goal. This was Coleshill's eighth league game of the season and they have only one point to show from their efforts, but manager Mel Strong is far from dejected. He said this week: "I am pleased with the performances of newcomers Mark Browning and Martin Colder, and when you realise that only one member of last season's team, Barry Canning, is still with the club, then you can see how we have had to completely rebuild." Strong is increasing the training session for his players to three evenings each week – Tuesday and Wednesday at the gymnasium and Thursday's at the ground. This Saturday Coleshill are away to Cradley Town in a Midland Combination First Division encounter.

If "anyone could do it," that doesn't make it less worthy of merit - because not everyone DOES do it, and because it MATTERS, even if it's simple. Anyone can give someone else a hug - does that mean that it's without merit to do so? Of course not. I don't think you quite understand the meaning behind KarmaTube.
MOI je penses que n'importe qui pourrais faire cet act. Donc il n'y a aucun merite a avoir. Donc arretez dembelir les choses. allez tout chier. mercixx
Good job Martha, good quick thinking.. keeping the kids calm is a tough.. you have done a wonderful job...Wishes.
Uncle Ato
There was little fear or panic in her voice. That must've been very reassuring to the kidskids. My kids too'd feel safe near her. Thank God for all teachers like her.
great teacher. all teachers should learn from her
I'm heartened by this teachers bravery in the face of danger but if we as a nation truly desired to alter the course of dangerous drugs in the world and our country we would be curtailing one of the worlds largest supplies in Afghanistan since we now have 100,000 troops present in that country. It is sad to see how we spend over 40 Billion a year through federal and state sources to try to stop the use and profliferation of all drugs and continue to condone the growth and manufacture of one of the strongest in Afghanistan. Something is dramatically unbalanced and inconsistent in our approach to this situation.
A brave teacher gave practical teaching of Bravery
There are Guardian Angels like (Martha) in the schools for our children.... Great Job..!
Insperation to everyone
This is so heartbreaking, yet beautiful. This wonderful woman who was determined to fill her chirldren's minds and heart with song is so tender, so strong and courageous. This is the energy of the lioness, tender and courageous. Beautiful. Now more than ever, this is the inspiring energy we need.
if the world is already messed up by us, i believe i just witness an angel saving those children.
deva daricha
wonderful. song changes us. keep singing. that is how estonians kept themselves together as a nation. sing everyday, it keeps the world alive. from and aboriginal australian viewpoint we were dreamt into existence. singing keeps the "songlines' intact. Sing the change you want to be
How sad that we have to think how lucky these children are to have this teacher. This issue with drugs in Mexico is beyond scary...Look at the lives through the faces of the children caught up in a world they ave no control over. We do need to be a part of solving this problem and we and our government need to make this happen. No wonder these people try to run away from this, wouldn't you want to remove your children from such craziness. Any sane parent would !
The world needs to stop for one minute and pay attention to what the situation in Mexico is doing to innocent people, children included. This is not a "war" on drugs! The US continues to create a market by purchasing drugs and selling weapons. This will continue until there is no longer money to be made. When drugs become legal, regulated and taxed the violence will stop. The tax revenue can be used to fund drug awareness and rehab programs. Like prohibition, many in high places are making money as long as these substances remain illegal, expensive and unregulated. If this were truly a "war on drugs" we would have won it many years ago. If the US can locate and kill Osama Bin Laden they can resolve this terrible situation like we saw in this video.

text: I had a question. I've done a few FB boosted posts and once the campaigns are over the numbers on "link clicks" will be 400, 500 and 600 and when I go to GA or Omniture the uniques from FB will be 100, 200 or 300. They will be markedly lower. Is GA and Omniture able to figure out if a user from Facebook isn't unique?

I had a good experience fr my visit..The staff and the doctor was so courteous and the the whole time of my visit he kept asking if i was ok..I had no pain and left there with clean teeth...I would totally come back again.
Maria S.
Courteous, professional state of the art service... loved the Netflix and tea! Thank you! Look forward to my next visit and the whitening gel is working great.
The place is very clean and professionnal, we were welcome very well. assistant and dentist very sweet and professionals thanks
Marie W.
I just moved to the bay area and was nervous about finding a good dentist. My mind was put at ease at this place. Every part of the my apppointment was explained to me. Everyone was super friendly and the annual checkup went by so quickly! I would highly recommend this place to my family and friends!
Tracie T.
Dr Jone was friendly and a little informative, but not pushy, which I liked. He showed me what my fillings both on the x-ray and on a little digital camera. He also has a TV on the ceiling so you can watch while you your teeth are cleaned. He sells an insurance plan to help families get regular affordable cleaning.
Noel S.
I am very satisfied with the teeth cleaning and the cementing back of my old crown to its right position; a professional job! However, the x-ray of all my teeth took too much time to perform, may be the technician did not have too much experience with the hand-held x-ray machine which was amazing to me that it can do the same job of a big x-ray machine.

Animated j: breath the beat
My name is James Jimenez, my nick name is Animated J. I used the song DJ Renegade — Orientale. I used salah's tutorial #2 Snake in the Water and tutorial #3 Seeing is Believing. Salah was one of the main people that inspired me to dance. He did not just dance, he performed, he was an artist. From his facial expressions all the way to his popping foundation, he was one of a kind. This video shows viewers how salahs creative waves inspired me to create my own waves. Salah has also said the importance of facial expressions in which i try to incorporate into my moves. His tutorial seeing is believing helped me take my miming and animation to another level, teaching me its not only about the movement, but telling a story. So with facial expressions, snake in the water, and seeing is believing, i introduce my video.

Mike Cottmeyer writes about Feelings, Thoughts, and Actions.
When people have a strong response, Mike describes thoughts as the point of leverage to change behavior.
How we think can be influenced more directly… it is somehow less personal. We can learn about our environment and the people that are a part of our lives. We can gather more information about what motivates those around us and learn something about their intentions and circumstances. With new information, we can learn to think differently about what is happening to us…..By guiding thinking, we are able to broaden the perspective of our team and create the opportunity to coach behavior.
This lines up nicely with a model I use, Ingredients of an Interaction, from the work of Virginia Satir.
Intake: We take in data from the environment (filtered by our preferences, education, stress level…)
Meaning: We make an interpretation of the data (influenced by past experiences, education, stress level…)
Significance: We have a feeling, based not on the observed data, but on our interpretation of the data.
Response: We act out of our interpretation and feelings.
(Don Gray describes the Satir interaction model in more detail here.)
When Mike coaches about thoughts, he's working on the level of Meaning, expanding the possible interpretations. When he talks about bringing in more information, he's working on the level of Intake.
I find this is a powerful model for untangling communication that's gone awry, and for understanding and shifting my own reactions.
On a related note, Mike talks about telling people their behavior is "unacceptable."
Rather than start out by telling some one his behavior is unacceptable, I find it usually works better to get agreement that the behavior happened. That usually requires neutral language…rather than "you were pounding the table in our meeting today" I might say "In our meeting, I saw you raise your fist and bring it down on the table." It's too easy for people to get into a Yes-you-did/No-I-didn't argument when there's any hint of judgment in the description. If people don't agree with the data, they aren't likely to listen to anything else you say.
Once I've got agreement on the data, I talk about the impact of the behavior. "I was startled. I noticed that Jen and Josh both pulled back from the table, and didn't say anything else for the rest of the meeting." Depending on how the other person response, I might go further. "When you hit the table, its hard for me to continue participating in the meeting. What I see is that when you bring your fist down on the table, it gets in the way of people listening to your ideas" (or something like that).
I'd rather let the person conclude that the behavior is ineffective and counter-productive and make a different choice. I find that works better with adults than having me say "That behavior is unacceptable"….especially since it may have been accepted in the person's family, or some previous context (where they learned it, and where it might have worked–on some level).
There are times when I do say "that behavior is unacceptable here," but I usually don't need to do that with reasonably well-adjusted adults.

Horny Military Dude Damien Fucks His Army Buddy Brandon Hard & Deep
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on May.08, 2016, under NextDoorBuddies
Private Damien Michaels is having a hard time adjusting to his regular home environment after having been deployed overseas. To his dismay, he finds out that his girlfriend doesn't really show as much enthusiasm about his arrival as he had hoped. She behaves like a nasty bitch with an attitude problem. So Damien decides to kill his bad mood with a bottle of beer along with his long-time buddy Brandon Moore. Just as the two men were drinking beer, Damien's girlfriend calls and makes things even worse than before.
Brandon sees it all, and although he knows he should just keep his mouth shut, something makes him think he's got a solution to his buddy's problem. So Brandon asks Damien if he had any "real action" while being deployed overseas. Damien can't even believe that his buddy asks him such a question because it's a well known fact that there are no girls when one is deployed overseas. Well, Brandon says that that didn't really stop him from getting his "fix". Damien starts to get the idea but still doesn't understand who Brandon fucked, so he asks him that. Brandon clarifies his statement by saying that it was he who was getting fucked, and Damien is partially shocked but mostly curious to find out the details. Meanwhile, Brandon's hand spontaneously finds its way to Damien's thigh and starts rubbing it.
Damien realizes his buddy is telling the truth, and maybe he's got a point there. Damien admits that a hole is a hole, and his girlfriend can be conveniently ignored if Brandon allows him to use his hole. In as little as a few seconds Damien decides it's a great idea and all his inhibitions fly straight out through the window! He grabs Brandon and positions him on the sofa and starts using his tongue to make Brandon's hole more relaxed, while he's stroking his cock at the same time. A few moments later Damien shoves his dick deep into Brandon's ass and starts pounding his buddy hard and deep. First he fucks him doggy style (seems to be popular with soldiers) and then in other positions as well. Damien manhandles Brandon and behaves like a truly sexually deprived man, who hasn't fucked anything in months, if not years. Damien's thrusts are so forceful that he had no problem fucking the cum out of Brandon, and then Brandon stroked Damien's cock to get his facial spunk shot!

Next Door Buddies is a porn site that features the typical "guy next door" types of men having some hot man on man sex with each other. These guys are usually either really straight or straight looking, although there are of course hot gay guys as well. The stories are a bit cliché but the production quality is pretty high and the men are usually really goodlooking.
