The Season was waning to its close. The gardens showed but little of the ravages of autumn as yet. The noble avenues of trees were still in their glory of fulness and expansive verdure; although here and there a few fallen leaves seemed to have fluttered down to earth as premature heralds of decay. The later flowers were gorgeous in their many-coloured splendour, though their earlier sisters had already lived the best of their lives, and now drooped their heads, as if to hide their blighted charms.

Black cats once became so highly valued that some people could not afford to have them. That’s because fishermen and their wives saw black cats as good luck. Cats were even allowed to ride aboard ships. Not only could they catch errant rodents, but also they may have been charms for safe travels.

NOW HERE’S A TIP
By JoAnn Derson
* Using your fireplace? Try adding citrus peels to the logs for a nice aroma. They can be a good starter material as well.
* Those hide-a-key rocks can be a little obvious -- at least they are to me. I have a spare key hidden outside too, but I sealed mine in a plastic baggie and buried it in a spot known to our family members. Also, it’s not right by the door. -- I.E. in Mississippi
* When closing up our cabin for the season, we brought a box of mothballs and scattered them around the porch perimeter. This keeps the small animals like mice and skunks from setting up shop there while no one is around. -S.F. in Pennsylvania
* Now’s a great time to start weatherstripping! Check and recaulk windows. Caulk along baseboards to deter drafts. Add insulation to electrical outlets and under sinks around plumbing. Seal it up to stay toasty this winter.
* Remember to turn off bathroom fans after 10 minutes. In the winter, if your house is on the dry side, don’t use the fan at all: Open the door so the humidity from the shower or bath reaches into the house.
* “To remove the skin from salmon, I freeze it and skin it while frozen. The skin comes off much easier, and I waste less of the fish. I buy a large piece and parcel it into several smaller pieces, since it’s just me. I like salmon, and it’s healthy for me!” -- L.A. in Florida
CHALLENGES OF GOING REMOTE WITH YOUR BUSINESS CUSTOMER SERVICE: Ensuring customers can seamlessly connect with your business, and your customer service staff in particular, should be a priority when switching to a remote work setting. Remote customer service employees won’t have the direct access to management and fellow team members that they had when working on-site, so business owners can employ central management platforms that make it easy to access information regarding new products and services and previous interactions with and responses to customers. That access can help solve issues while reducing the likelihood of substantial lag time as customer service employees wait to hear from coworkers and managers about how to respond to certain issues.

cancer risk. The level of risk depends on how dense the breast tissue is. Women with very dense breasts have a higher risk of breast cancer than women with low breast density.
Increased breast density is often an inherited trait, but it may also occur in women who have not had children, have a first pregnancy late in life, take postmenopausal hormones, or drink alcohol.

flowers, trees and garden beds will over-winter successfully. A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year. •␣Climbing •␣Certified Arborist (on staff) •␣Trimming • Removal •␣Stump Grinding •␣Bucket Truck Seasoned Firewood For Sale No Job Too Big, No Job Too Small 24 Years Experience 585.219.4053 Reasonable Rates Serving Western NY WYATT VanBUREN For All Your Tree Care Needs TREE SERVICES

HALLOWEEN HISTORY
Halloween may seem like a relatively modern holiday, and while it may have become modernized, Halloween traditions actually can be traced back to ancient Celtic rituals. It’s believed Halloween traces its origins to a Celtic festival for the dead known as Samhain. During the festival, people would dress up in costumes and leave treats on their front doorsteps to appease spirits that were believed to be roaming the Earth on this holiday. Many historians also feel that trickor-treating can be linked to the European practice of “mumming” or “guysing,” in which costumewearing individuals would go door-to-door, performing dances and plays in exchange for treats.
It is a delightful pastime to sit in the pleasant sunshine of autumn, and gazing from this little spot of free earth over such a landscape, let the imagination luxuriate amid the thrilling associations of the scene!

DAIRY DIETARY GUIDELINES
USDA guidelines encourage most individuals to consume three servings of dairy per day. The organization’s “Dietary Guidelines forAmericans 2020-2025” recommend that adults consume the equivalent of three cups of dairy per day. The guidelines indicate that children should consume 21/2 cups of dairy per day,with that number increasing to three cups around the time children reach age 9.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Mazzotta
Are Dogs Growing More Anxious?
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My small mixed-breed dog, Tara, has terrible anxiety, especially when I leave the house or during thunderstorms. I have to either put a cone on her or socks on her paws so she doesn't chew them bloody during these episodes. I hear from other friends that their dogs have anxiety issues as well. Is this problem on the rise? -- Sherri L., Kansas City, Mo.
DEAR SHERRI: Evidence isn't clear that anxiety in dogs is rising, but there is a rise in the understanding and diagnosis of anxiety in pets by veterinarians. is has led to an increase in diagnosis and treatment for pet anxiety.
While that is good for pets, there is no "magic bullet" to quickly cure a dog of an anxiety disorder. Tara's vet can diagnose the problem, and can help you determine di erent ways to treat her.
Medication can be a big help in easing anxiety symptoms, but you also want to look for causes of Tara's anxiety, and trigger points that set o her paw-chewing. understorms are one trigger; your leaving the house is another.
ere are a number of di erent techniques, both training or interaction, to turn o those triggers. While there's not room in this column to list them, do some quick research and look for dog training manuals that stress positive reinforcement. Ask the vet and your friends about local dog trainers or specialists who treat pet anxiety issues.
In evaluating such professionals, ask what therapies they use or are open to, and make sure they emphasize your role in working with Tara (owners have to put in the time with their dogs). Be circumspect about pet therapists who insist they have a single, one-sizets-all solution for anxiety. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

WAX ON, WAX OFF
Flossing is a critical part of a daily oral hygiene routine. Flossing cleans betweentheteethandpreventsplaque from forming into tartar, which helps preventcavitiesandgumdisease.Both waxedandunwaxedflossworkequally well; the most important thing to keep in mind is that it should be used every day. When choosing between the two, it is simply a matter of personal preference. Which type is more comfortable may depend on the size and spacing of the teeth. Waxed floss is thicker and may be more difficult to maneuver between crowded teeth. However, it can also be more durable, so if unwaxed floss frays or breaks, waxed floss could be the better choice.
Carefully and conscientiously performed home oral hygiene can
be the deciding factor in keeping your mouth and teeth healthy. At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we’ll be happy to demonstrate good brushing and flossing techniques as well as inform you about products that we know will help you maintain a healthy smile between routine dentalcheckups.Foranappointment for family dental care, please call us at 585.343.4246. Our full service dental office is conveniently located at 6 Batavia City Centre. We’ll give you a reason to smile!
P.S.People with braces often choose waxed floss because the added durability keeps the floss intact duringuse.

An estimated 154,794 Americans are currently living with metastatic breast cancer, which occurs when cancer in the breast spreads to other parts of the body, most often the lungs, liver, bones, and brain. One quarter of this number represents those whose metastatic disease was found at diagnosis, while three-quarters have experienced metastatic recurrence of early stage disease. Approximately 20% to 30% of people first diagnosed with early stage disease will later develop advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Physician Revokes Driver’s License Without Explanation
DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife’s handicap parking placard expired, and she asked her primary care physician to fill out a renewal application. The new placard was received, followed by a letter from the DMV instructing my wife to return her license within 10 days because a medical professional had deemed it unsafe for her to drive. There was no discussion with my wife about driving.
My wife had a stroke about two years ago, but there are no obvious signs that she shouldn’t be driving outside of that. She recently had a Watchman device placed, but no one ever said she shouldn’t drive. My wife has had no symptoms since the surgery. She saw the cardiologist who performed the Watchman surgery, and he said she is doing well. She also saw her regular cardiologist, and he also said she is doing well. She saw both of these doctors after seeing the physician who notified the DMV that she should not drive. I have seen the after-visit notes of all the doctors my wife has seen in the last three months. All say that she is doing well. The doctor involved said, in her notes, “She is doing well, no concerns.” She has not had any device implanted to maintain rhythm. Was it unethical to not discuss revoking my wife’s license with her before doing it? -- Anon.
ANSWER: The Watchman device is placed to reduce the risk of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib), a rhythm disturbance of the heart. Its placement has no bearing on her driving, but AFib potentially does. AFib does predispose people to strokes and, occasionally, to a heart rate so fast that they can’t think properly. Conceivably, a person could have a stroke or a very fast heart rate while driving, but this is a very rare cause of motor-vehicle accidents. The most common medical cause for impairment while driving is epilepsy, which is a whole separate discussion.
There are international guidelines to help clinicians decide whether a person with a history of arrhythmia is safe to drive.
In the case of atrial fibrillation, the guidelines are consistent that only if a person is having symptoms or is incapacitated should they stop driving, and they may resume once the symptoms or incapacity is better. From what you tell me, she had no reason for her driving to be restricted. Unless her primary care physician knows something that you haven’t told me, this decision was not supported by consensus guidelines.
Was the decision ethical? I don’t think so. An ethical decision is one that minimizes harm, both to your wife and to the community. Your wife has been harmed, and I don’t think the community is safer because she can’t drive. I don’t think she was treated fairly. Lack of truth-telling undermines trust, which is essential for ethical patient care.
It is possible that the decision to restrict her driving privileges was done in error, either by her physician or by the DMV. I do feel strongly that her physician should have told her that her driving privileges would be restricted: This would have allowed for some discussion, perhaps with her cardiologists, and would remove the question of whether there was an error.

4 REASONS TO TRAVEL MORE
In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year
Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.
In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, andtheAmericasallrecordedarounda5percentincreaseininternational arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.
Millennials may be leading the travel-enamored pack. The United Nations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.
Infrequenttravelersorthosewhohavenevertraveledmaynotunderstand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.
1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.
2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.
3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.
4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective.
Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.

SCARE UP A HAUNTED HOUSE AT HOME
Create a spooky ambiance: The fear of the unknown can be a powerful force.In many horror scenes, suspense is built by what audiences cannot see. Borrow this idea when creating the mood for your haunted house. Dim lighting by way of red or black outside bulbs will help increase the shadows and camouflage any decorations that may not be completely realistic in the light of day. In addition to lighting, create a playlist of creepy sounds. Consider how effective those grandfather clock bell tolls were at evoking fear in season four of “Stranger Things.” Pick your spooky sounds, whether it’s animals or something more supernatural.

Another Good Samaritan
While on my daily walk in Henrietta on September 13th, I suddenly felt something was wrong and woke up a few moments later, laying in a very wet and muddy ditch! Apparently, I had momentarily lost consciousness. A nice lady in a white car saw it happen and stopped to help me, and she even took me home. Thank you, Good Samaritan, whoever you were! (By the way, the same thing happened a few days later, so I now have a new pacemaker to prevent any more episodes like that.)
Just like new at 16 years!
Many thanks to the Penfield Delta Sonic staff! They detailed my car to a very high standard of excellence. They all worked very hard, and it showed! I cannot say enough about their professionalism and friendliness. My CRV is once again clean, shiny, and fragrant! Again, a great big thank you! Keep up the good work! - JMD
A Ride Home
On Oct 12th at around 5pm, an angel stopped on Route 33 to give me and my son a ride home. Our ride was canceled, and my phone was dead, so I had no way of communicating with anyone. Not that we had anyone to call since we just moved here and don’t know anyone in town. She was kind enough to take us even as three troopers drove by and looked at me like I was crazy. We are forever grateful. May God bless you a million times. Please continue to be a great soul. Thank you! -Debbie
Now hiring...sort of!
Now Hiring! You see the signs everywhere today, but tomorrow, they may be gone. Not because the positions are full, but because the position no longer exists because the business is no more. There is no reason that someone who wants a job may not have one right now.
Running Stop Signs
You may not value your life or care to be around for your family, but I do, both yours and mine! I don’t understand. It only takes a few seconds to come to stop at the stop sign. I’m traveling 30-55mph. I am less than 3-4 car lengths from the intersection. You run the stop sign. I don’t want to hit you, and I’ll do everything in my power to stop my car, but you’ve got to try harder to drive defensively and understand what a stop sign means.

Not all disabilities are visible!
Last week, someone ranted about young or (seemingly) able-bodied persons hopping out of cars in spaces for disabled persons. He or she doesn’t mention whether or not the cars have tags or plates entitling them to park there. Many disabilities are not visible to others but exist nonetheless (recent surgery, COPD, back braces, brittle bone disease, etc.) If someone has a tag or plate, they have documented a disability with the DMV and do not need to look elderly to you!

FAQ
What can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer?
• Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer.
• Maintain a healthy weight. If your weight is healthy, work to maintain that weight.
• Be physically active.
• Breast-feed.
• Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Can diet prevent breast cancer from spreading?
Asparagine is found in foods like asparagus, whole grains, soy, seafood, eggs, poultry, beef, legumes, and more. While reducing asparagine will not a ect the original breast cancer tumor, it could stop cancer from showing up elsewhere in the body. Researchers suspect that many women with breast cancer do not lose their lives to the original breast cancer tumor, but instead they succumb to metastases or subsequent growths away from the primary site.

INNOVATIVE SCHOOL IS A TRAINING GROUND FOR ARTISTS
(NAPSI)—Art classes have slowly but steadily all but disappeared from public schools over the years. Lack of funding has been the culprit, but educators tend to agree that the arts play a crucial role in the academic and creative development of our children.
One public school in Greenville, South Carolina is embracing a different model and provides a haven for young artists from across the state to discover, develop and hone their talents. The South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities offers preprofessional training to its students in the areas of creative writing, dance, drama, music, and visual arts. As a public, residential high school serving juniors and seniors, it helps students refine their talents in a master-apprentice community while receiving nationally recognized academic education.
TheGovernor’sSchoolalsoservesasaresourcetoallteachersandstudents in South Carolina, offering comprehensive outreach programs designed to bring together artists, educators, community organizations, and schools.
The school is supported by its own foundation—The South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities Foundation—by raising revenues to bridge the gap between funds provided to the school through government appropriation and the actual cost of the educational opportunities the school provides to its students.
This extraordinary school recently captured the attention of Ovation TV, a cable and digital channel that is dedicated to the arts. Ovation and local cable provider Spectrum acknowledged the school’s contributions to the communityandinnovativeapproachtoartseducationandskillsdevelopment with a $10,000 award via its Stand for the Arts arts advocacy initiative. SC Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities’ success provides a great lesson for communities across the country looking to support the arts and encourage the creative development of their youth.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING TIPS
(NAPSI)—These five tips can help you be prepared for the perils of the road.
1. Know Your Car. Like people, each car has a unique personality. Some features work better than others, and conditions can cause a vehicle to react a certain way. Knowing your car’s limits and behavior patterns can help you predict how it will respond in certain situations. How long does it take you to stop and how much pressure is required on the brake pedal? What’s your turn radius? Does your vehicle lean when you round a corner? Does it quake when you hit a certain speed? Knowing the answers can help you avoid accidents.
2. Use Extreme Caution During a Lane Change. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that one of the most common causes of two-lane auto accidents is unsafe lane changes.
3. Know Your Blind Spots. Most cars have at least one line of vision that’s not clearly evident in the rearview or side mirrors. Even carefully placed mirrors often cannot cover every possible angle. Move the side mirrors far outward so that the angle of view barely overlaps the view of the rearview mirror.
4. Keep Your Hands on the Wheel. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now advocates keeping your hands at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions instead of 10 and 2 because of air bags.
5. Keep Up on Maintenance. Routine work on your auto, like oil changes, fluid refills and tire rotations, can make all the difference in your car’s drivability.

Inside Rolling Hills Asylum with Owner & Resident Sharon Coyle
BY AMANDA DUDEK
It’s October, and autumn in Western New York means there’s a chill in the air and lengthening shadows that make the evenings seem otherworldly. As Halloween draws near, the thoughts of many turn to manifestations of the supernatural. Rolling Hills Asylum (RHA) in East Bethany is one of the most popular locations, reportedly lled withparanormalactivity.NooneunderstandsRHA’shistory,unearthly inhabitants, and daily activity better than owner Sharon Coyle.
Sharon grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, rich in both history and supernatural New England folklore. From her youth, Sharon had an interest in the paranormal. Her childhood home, she says, was also paranormally active, visually and audibly, such as unexplained noises, footsteps, disappearing keys, changing thermostats, and mysterious “visitors” sitting on the edges of beds.
Sharon grew up to nd a career as a location manager and associate producer in lm production as well as working in sales and marketing. en, her mother’s passing reignited her interest in what happens in what she calls the mysterious oh-so-far-and-yet-too-close other side. “I was looking for answers,” said Sharon. “ ere is a hole in my heart caused by those I love passing on. Like many, I have questions, suspicions, and hopes.”
A er exploring the paranormal on the California Coast Sharon rst visited RHA in 2008, “I had three amazing nights of activity, including meeting Roy Crouse, the 7+ foot Shadow Man, and capturing some outstanding evidence,” recalled Sharon. “When I learned that RHA was closing forever, I had to intervene, and bought RHA the day before my birthday in 2009, and moved here in the spring of 2010.”
“I have owned RHA for nearly 13 years now. ere is so much that happens here. I am living with these people,” she said, referring to RHA’s otherworldly residents. “ ese were people with ties to the community, people with whom we communicate in spirit on a regular basis. ere are things that happen here that cannot be explained.”
Operating from 1827-1974, Rolling Hills began as the Genesee County Poorhouse, welcoming “orphaned children, families, destitute elderly, physically handicapped, mentally unstable, morally corrupt, even criminals,” according to Genesee County Historian Susan L. Conklin. “In 1828 Genesee County constructed a stone building attached to the Poorhouse for the con nement of lunatics and a repository for paupers committed for misconduct…Residents were referred to as inmates (no matter why they were housed there).”
RHAevenhasalostcemetery.“ ecemeteryfortheCountyPoorhouse has faded away as the stones crumpled, the grass grew, and the forest replanted,” said Conklin. “No one was around to care for those who had so long ago been forgotten. ese people, though they were poor, ill, and sometimes abandoned, do deserve to be remembered. An actual cemetery register or plot map has yet to be discovered.”
Sharon believes that people have an energy that never goes away, just changes shape or form. RHA certainly seems to have a great deal of energy. “ ere are so many things we see, feel, hear, and smell,” she explained. “ ings
moving right in front of us, recordings, images… this place is truly amazing. We will witness clocks chiming, whistling, a wheelchair rolling on its own, words coming through a spirit box, all kinds of things. Guests have experienced little children’s hands grabbing onto their hands, hearing their names called out, sitting in the barber’s chair and feeling hair falling on their face like they were having a haircut...it’s crazy, amazing, and phenomenal.”
Of Sharon’s many paranormal experiences at RHA, two stand out. “A spirit named Roy will call out my name in his deep voice,” she said. “We also have a little boy named Jacque down in the laundry room. He looks like Pugsley from the Addams family. I went to put something away down there. I opened one of the doors, and he startled me with a loud, ‘Boo!’ I scolded him for startling me. A year later, I asked him if he wanted to say boo to me through the spirit box, and he did. at is his little signal to me.”
e supernatural keeps Sharon going. “It gives people who have lost a loved one hope that there is something a erwards,” she said. “ ey come from all over: Alaska, Texas, England, Australia, and more. We all have people pass on. We miss them and hope to see them on the other side.”
“ ey are always around us, trying to tell us something,” she said. “We have to pay attention. If you think you hear that voice, you probably are.”

Get Vaccinated and Boosted!
Unfortunately, many people now feel that COVID isn’t a deadly threat anymore, but if you’re an older adult or a person with chronic or disabling conditions, getting COVID can still kill you. Getting Vaccinated was de nitely the right decision for me.“
David Wantuck - Amherst, NY
“Everyone is di erent. If you catch COVID, there’s no way to predict how severe it might be. It can kill you or you can have no symptoms at all. That’s why I got Vaccinated.”
Krystle Babbs - Bu alo, NY
If you are listening to all the misinformation out there, listen to this. The COVID vaccine is still the safest and most e ective way of reducing risk of a serious illness or death. Just ask your doctor, I did.”

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GREYHOUNDS
Racinggreyhoundsaren’tpredators;manyjustlovetochasethings.AsThe Greyhound Project notes, retired racing greyhounds have been trained to chase lures. That love of the chase may lead some to believe greyhounds are natural predators, but that’s not the case. Many greyhounds just love to run, and some retired racing greyhounds really love to run. However, when they’re no longer racing and have fully adapted to a new home, many greyhounds become disinterested in chasing.

Cutting Down on Scam Phone Calls
Welcome to the season of increased scam telemarketer phone calls, either political or holiday related.
e National Do Not Call Registry is a government program intended to block unwanted sales calls. It’s a free service, and all you have to do is sign up either on your phone or on the internet.
Call 888-382-1222 from the phone you want to block and follow the steps. Or go online to donotcall.gov and read the info. A word of warning: If you register your number online, you are also required to enter an email address. ey’ll send you a note asking you to click a link in that email to nish the registration to stop unwanted calls -- if they stop.
Blocking scammers on the registry doesn’t take care of the whole problem. e FAQ on the site says that certain types of calls are allowed: political, charitable, debt collection, informational and surveys. ink about the holes those leave.
I maintain that receiving a political call is still a sales call -- they’re trying to sell us on the idea of voting a certain way, and therefore political calls also should be blocked in the Do Not Call Registry. Surveys can be just as bad if the questions they ask are clearly skewed in one direction or another.
I see charitable calls as scams if they take your personal banking or credit-card information. Additionally, if you’ve ever done business with a company, they’re allowed to call you.
So, there are holes in the system. But you can take steps to stop at least some of the calls by registering with Do Not Call.
As an aside, I called the registry to verify that my phone is already listed. Yes, despite all the calls I get, it’s been listed as a do-not-call number since 2006.

HOW TO NEGOTIATE (AND GET) A SALARY INCREASE
Salaries in the workplace have long been a hot-button issue for women. The differences in compensation for males and females continues to draw the attention of politicians and gender equality advocates alike.
The United States Department of Labor noted that, in 2015, the median weekly earnings for fulltime male workers increased by 2.2 percent from the year prior. During that same period, female earnings increased by just 0.8 percent. That latest data marks the third consecutive quarter that the increase in males’ earnings doubled that of females. On average, women who work fulltime earn 81.1 cents for every dollar men earn.
Women aware of that unfair gap in pay may feel helpless to address it with their bosses out of fear of being seen as unappreciative or selfish. In fact, addressing compensation makes many workers uncomfortable, regardless of their gender. According to a salary survey from PayScale, almost 60 percent of male and female workers do not ask for a raise. Negotiating salary increases requires finesse, timing and being informed. It also requires a certain measure of gumption.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE
Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.
Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses.
Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.

CAREGIVERS, TAKE CARE: HOW TO KEEP YOUR CAREGIVING DUTIES FROM OVERWHELMING YOU (NAPSI)—Caregiving for a loved one can be a fulfilling, yet overwhelming experience. Forty million Americans provide care for their aging loved one each year, and spend an average of 24.4 hours per week doing so. Try as one may to create a balanced lifestyle, it’s a role that easily crowds out other important areas of life, including personal and professional relationships, and generates high levels of stress that could lead to serious health problems long-term if not managed.
Caregivers should feel empowered to adopt the following tactics to lighten the burden, and achieve a renewed sense of control:
Remember your own health: It’s important to not lose sight of your physical and mental health during particularly stressful times. Improve your energy level with smart eating choices: plan easy, healthy recipes that take less than 30 minutes, schedule grocery deliveries, or subscribe to meal kits. And, committing to just 10 minutes a day of moving your body will help you feel energized, while boosting your mental health. Exercise is also a good way to engage with your loved one—join them for a walk or even a water aerobics class.
Be transparent with your employer about your role as a caregiver: Burning the midnight oil to meet your caregiver and professional responsibilities doesn’t do you, your loved one, or your career any favors. Speaking candidly about the pressures you face as a caregiver with your employer can help relieve stress in the long run. Discuss options such as flexible work hours or working remotely, and set realistic expectations for yourself.
Leverage technology: Utilize tools that offer you visibility into your loved one’s health status and simplify the complexities of coordinating care. These solutions allow you to refocus your attention on the key moments that mattermostwithyourlovedones,while offering the peace of mind of knowing your loved one will have 24/7 access to help. For example, Philips Cares is a mobile application that enables you to easily form and activate a care circle of trusted family and friends, access meaningful insights into your loved one’s wellbeing, and manage your Philips Lifeline personal alert service. It helps you and your care circle be there for your aging loved ones, easing and enriching their aging journey.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function.Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances,the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned.Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise,though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.
