DID YOU KNOW?

Many people are familiar with the term “ozone layer.” But some may not know that the Earth’s atmosphere consists of several layers. The lowest layer of the Earth’s atmosphere is the troposphere, which the U.S Environmental Protection Agency notes extends from the Earth’s surface to roughly six miles in altitude.Thetroposphereiswhere nearly all human activities occur. Even climbers who make it to the peak of Mt. Everest are still in the troposphere, as Everest is less than six miles high. But anyone who has ever boarded a commercial flight has likely left the troposphere and entered the stratosphere, where the majority of commercial airplanes fly. The stratosphere begins at six miles above the Earth’s surface and extends to about 31 miles above the surface of the planet. The EPA notes that most atmospheric ozone is concentrated in a layer in the stratosphere that’s roughly nine to 18 miles above the Earth’s surface. The ozone layer in the Earth’sstratosphereabsorbssome of the sun’s radiation, including the UV and UVB radiation that has been linked to cancer. The third layer of the Earth’s atmosphere is the mesosphere, which extends from 31 miles above the Earth’s surface to roughly 53 miles above the surface of the planet. The height of the next highest layer, the thermosphere, varies due to changes in solar activity. The exosphere, which contains many of the satellites that orbit the Earth,istheoutermostlayerofthe Earth’s atmosphere.

PLANNING AHEAD IS VITAL TO A SUCCESSFUL RENOVATION

Get professional advice: Many homeowners are under the impression that doing the work themselves can save a considerable amount of money. This may be the case for homeowners with renovation experience. But by and large, professional contractors are an asset to any renovation. They can provide a realistic overview of the project, map out projected costs, point out areas that could be troublesome, and may have industry contacts that can keep supply costs low.Even if a homeowner will do a portion of the job, a contractor can do the bulk of the work and keep the project on budget.

WAYS TO MAKE HOMES SAFER

Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings. Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs.

Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matteor textured-finished flooring to improve stability underfoot. Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can

BUILD A BUDGET THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Determine your net income. The Bank of America notes that net income,also known as “take-home pay,” is the foundation of a budget. In the era of direct deposit, it can be easy for anyone to forget how much money they’re taking in each month. Salaried workers can determine their net income pretty quickly and easily, while workers who are paid by the hour and freelancers may need to do a little extra work and serve as their own bookkeepers as they try to calculate their net incomes.

Apple Cider Vinegar Is a Surprising Help for Blood in Urine

DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently, I had anal cancer and was treated with chemo and radiation. The radiation burned my insides and severely damaged most of my internal organs. One of the aftereffects was occasional blood and small clots in my urine. A few months ago, both the frequency and amount of blood, especially the clots, increased dramatically. The size and number of the clots got so large that they blocked my urethra. During a visit to my urologist, he looked into my bladder and declared it “angry.” Then he told me the same thing every doctor has told me about every problem caused by my treatment: “It was caused by the radiation, and there is nothing that can be done.”

Shortly after this, I began to take unfiltered apple cider vinegar in hopes that it would improve my digestive problems. It helped a little, but the big difference was that I have not had a single recurrence of either blood or clots in my urine. Can you tell me if this is due to the vinegar or if it is just a coincidence? -- A.G.

ANSWER: No, I can’t definitively tell you whether the vinegar helped. It was probably by chance, but let me explain a little about it.

Rectal cancer is often treated with radiation, or combined chemotherapy and radiation, either prior to or after surgery. The dose of radiation is quite high compared to some other cancers, and the complications can be significant.

In addition to damage to the bowel and bladder, radiation treatment can damage the bones and bone marrow, leading to poor blood-cell production, infertility, premature menopause, and more cancer years later. On the other hand, radiation is used when it is expected to improve the cure rate of cancer. Still, the side effects can be challenging.

Hemorrhagic cystitis (bleeding from the bladder) can be caused by chemotherapy or radiation. It may start within a few months or as long as 20 years after radiation.

I am surprised your urologist did not offer any treatments, as there are certainly ones available. Although none of the currently available systemic drugs are proven to be very effective, hyperbaric oxygen is one treatment that is, at least, moderately effective. Medicines placed into the bladder and laser bladder treatments are sometimes tried as well.

I was unable to find any study that evaluated the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar. I am skeptical, but reports like yours of apparent improvement associated with its use might convince a researcher to conduct a study to determine whether it really is effective.

THREE WAYS TO RELIEVE ARTHRITIS PAIN

by Dr. Bob Arnot

(NAPSI) — Over the course of my career as a physician, chief medical correspondent and war correspondent, I’ve been exposed to a wide variety of pain management drugs and approaches. One thing I’ve seen is that the United States is much more reliant on taking pills for pain than the rest of the world, where topical analgesics, physical therapy and other approaches are more widely used.

A problem with pills is that many of them come with side effects that can be severe, especially if the medications are used in greater quantities or for longer than they’re supposed to be. That’s one reason for back, muscle and joint pains, I believe it’s best to start with topicals. What’s more, the Centers for Disease Control, the American College of Rheumatology and other medical experts agree it’s a safer approach.

Fortunately, if you are an arthritis sufferer and want effective relief, there are two topicals that are FDA approved the same way Ibuprofen, Naproxen Sodium and other prescription pain medicines have been through the demanding new drug application process. While both help relieve arthritis pain, it is important to know the differences between Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large and Voltaren Arthritis Pain gel.

Salonpas Pain Relief Patch Large was the 1st topical approved by the FDA and provides relief for up to 12 hours. It begins to work in one hour and can provide clinically meaningful pain relief in the first day. Since it is a patch, the medicine is pre-measured and easy to apply. Not only does this patch help relieve arthritis pain, but it also works for back, muscle and joint pain as well.

On the other hand, Voltaren Arthritis Pain gel is not labeled for immediate relief and may take up to 7 days to help achieve relief. To apply this gel, you must first measure out an amount based on a dosing card. Voltaren is effective for up to 6 hours and should only be used for arthritis pain.

In addition to topical relief, joint and muscle pain can be treated with physical therapy. It can keep stiff joints from getting stiffer, reduce strain on joints during daily activities and help you get back to normal life without pain or difficulty.

Also helpful are hot and cold compresses. Heat is good for joint stiffness and cold compresses can ease joint pain.Just remember, don’t apply heat to a joint that’s already hot. If you feel a burning sensation in your joint, cool it with the cold compresses.

Dr. Arnot is board certified in internal medicine and an award-winning journalist, author of twelve books on nutrition and health and host of the Dr. Danger reality TV series. You can find more helpful healthcare and pain relief information from Dr. Arnot at https://us.hisamitsu/.

Adam Eaton Empowers Artists, Celebrates the Rochester Community through the Rochester Artist Collaborative

BY SUZIE WELLS

Adam Eaton is Founder and Creative Director of Rochester Artist Collaborative. Born and raised in Rochester and Penfield, he uses photography “as a medium to explore the beauty of Black people in Rochester and examines how art and culture shape our definitions and perceptions of beauty, celebrating diversity and the human spirit. I love my hometown and the beautiful people that live in Rochester.”

Eaton says he always felt he was a creative person, but never fully considered himself an Artist until he discovered photography in 2019. Having spent many years dealing with depression and anxiety, he remembers when he would do something creative, whether it be singing, painting, or whatever, the creative efforts made him feel better.

In 2019, when a ceramics class he wanted to take through Flower City Arts Center was sold out, Eaton took a chance with a photography course, learning about aperture, ISOs, and techniques to successfully use even an iPhone to capture life. While he started out a little bored photographing sunsets and architecture, when he started taking photos of family and friends, his passion ignited and he started his photography practice.

Around the same time, he says he began connecting with different Rochester Artists, participating for instance in the First Friday events at the Hungerford building, where Artists collaborate, find inspiration, and network. As Eaton developed his own practice, he discovered a common refrain: Rochester Artists did not feel supported, o en did not know where to start or what to do to develop their skills, or how to gain traction with the public.

When he heard a good friend intended to move out of the area because of this lack of support, Eaton coordinated an event at the Rochester Contemporary Arts Center, at which the public could meet the Artist and view her significant collection. e event was a success, with all the Artists’ prints selling out, and more importantly, spreading the word about her and other Artists. Eaton loved coordinating that event and as he le , he says he felt inspired to help other Artists.

Eaton founded Rochester Artist Collaborative to “[support] the Artists and creatives who significantly contribute to our city’s cultural enrichment and economic development.” By providing local Artists with resources and opportunities needed to succeed, the RAC “[empowers] them and [creates] a lasting impact.” With this access, the Rochester Artist Collaborative “celebrates creativity and every Artist is provided the opportunity to flourish.”

Eaton says Rochester is home to thousands of Artists practicing part-time or full-time, with music, painting, photography, different art mediums, and a lot of those people have operated in what he calls “silos,” or small groups, but not really connecting in general. So, with Rochester Artist Collaborative, Eaton aims to connect those silos, so they’re not secret or hidden, so they’re organized, so Artists needing support can find what they need.

Eaton says in his journey developingtheCollaborative, he found Rochester art community staples, such as the Memorial Art Gallery, Flower City Arts Center, and the Contemporary Arts Center. He also raves about the Anderson Arts Building, creative home to 40-50 Artists, many of whom have been there for 20-30 years, and the Artists there offer lots of knowledge and wisdom, he says.

Rochester Artist Collaborative aims to grow its network by connecting more Artists through various events and activities, especiallyduringMay,whichisMemberMonth. isperiodwillfeature numerous events designed to promote Artist members and attract new members and sponsors. Additionally, they seek to engage more deeply with the broader community. According to Eaton, community support is crucial for Artists to thrive and continue their creative work.

Eaton thanks the RAC team for their assistance: Studio Assistant ai Huoang, Office Assistant Amanda Smith, Videographer Rajae Barnes-Wright, and Graphic Designer Austin Palozzi; they are integral in making Rochester Artist Collaborative a success.

In addition to his administrative role at Rochester Artist Collaborative, Eaton is a professional fine art photographer focusing on portrait photography and visual storytelling, for example leading “high-profile campaigns for [Rochester area businesses to cra ] brand narratives that resonate authentically and powerfully.” rough his work, Eaton seeks to foster an inclusive and supportive arts community in Rochester, continually exploring innovative ways to visually express ideas and narratives.

Eaton says, “Rochester is filled with beauty,” and as many Black community members suffer daily racism and discrimination, Eaton uses his “power as an Artist to speak about these issues. rough photography, I can capture how I see the world and allow others to see the beauty I experience daily in my community.” His artistic vision focuses on timeless themes focusing on community, honesty, love, and beauty. He is particularly proud of his solo exhibit, “Black is Beautiful,” at Geva eatre, which he intends to reprise each year to celebrate the beauty of Black people around Rochester.

Here’s a Tip

* Need to save money grocery shopping? Studies show that if you shop when the store is least busy, you’ll make smarter decisions. Try shopping at off-peak hours, such as later in the evening or early in the morning. Or try your store on Wednesday, traditionally the least busy day of the week.

* “I was making cookies last week and needed to roll out the dough. I couldn’t find my rolling pin anywhere. In a pinch, I pulled a bottle of wine off my wine rack and wrapped it tightly in plastic. It did the trick. I’m thinking I might just save the next empty bottle and clean the label off of it to use. I can store it right there in my rack!” -- O.V. in Oregon

* Add shredded veggies to tomato sauce to up the veggie quotient. Many vegetables can be added without adding many calories and will not change the taste that much. Try carrots, squash or sweet potatoes. You can even add a tablespoon or two of canned, pureed pumpkin.

Do your research: Chances are business owners can find a number of festival or marketplace opportunities in or around their communities each month. Some of these festivals may be large scale events like annual Christmas bazaars, while others might be more toned down affairs that occur each week. Business owners can research local festivals, paying particular attention to how communities market the events and which businesses attend them. Community turnout is another significant factor to consider. Such research can help business owners determine which festivals best suit their businesses and what they’re hoping to accomplish.

Q&A Master Gardeners

How do I prepare my soil for planting?

Properly preparing your soil before planting is essential for creating a thriving garden bed. To embark on this journey, begin by meticulously removing any pesky weeds or grass that may have taken root in the area. This will help ensure that your plants have ample space to flourish without any unnecessary competition for nutrients and resources. Once you have cleared the canvas, it’s time to indulge in the art of soil cultivation. Gently till or dig the soil to loosen its texture, allowing for improved aeration and drainage. As you delve into this task, consider adding a touch of magic in the form of organic matter. Compost, a delightful concoction of decayed organic materials, can work wonders for your soil structure and serve

as a nutrient-rich feast for your soon-tobe-planted garden gems. Generously incorporatethispreciousresourceintothe soil, allowing it to weave its enchantment and transform the landscape. Finally, as you put the finishing touches on your soil masterpiece, gently smooth the surface and offer it a refreshing drink of water, quenching its thirst and creating an inviting environment for your seeds or seedlings.

How often should I water my garden? The rhythm of watering your garden is a delicatedance,influencedbyasymphony of factors that harmonize to create the perfect balance. Consider the unique needs of your plants, the composition of your soil, the whims of weather, and the

stage of growth your green companions find themselves in. As you traverse this journey,keep in mind that moderation is key. While providing ample hydration is crucial, drowning your garden in excess water can lead to soggy roots and a lack of oxygen, stifling the potential for growth. Instead, aim for a gentle and nourishing approach. Seek to deliver approximately 1 inch of water per week, a golden rule that provides ample moisture without overwhelming the delicate ecosystem beneath the surface.

Look for this weekly column! Your questions answered by the local Cornell experts.

However, remember that this is merely a guiding principle,and it’s vital to listen to the whispers of your garden. Observe the moisture level of the soil, and let it guide your hand as you adjust your watering routine. Remember, deep and infrequent watering encourages the development of robust root systems, anchoring your plants firmly in the ground and preparing them for a flourishing future.

Traffic circle in [local town]

The traffic circle is annoying. What’s even more frustrating is that people don’t use blinkers when they’re exiting. It causes traffic to back up unnecessarily & makes delays for people to enter the circle. It’s annoying and rude. When you learned to drive, didn’t you learn to use your blinkers?

A good deed

Garbage filled park

I want to thank the kind and honest person who found my credit card at the Webster Post Office a few weeks ago and returned it to staff. It just proves that there are good, honest people who do the right thing. I appreciate it very much and thank you.

My husband and I noticed piles of garbage at our local Town Park. We both decided to pick it up, since there is a constant flow of people. We filled 2 garbage bags with shoes, soup containers, broken glass, clothes, coffee cups and doggy poo bags! Nasty!

Delicious Pizza!

Last Friday, I thought I ordered a pizza from a local pizza shop, but the order never made it through. I contacted the restaurant and the person who picked up the phone said that he would give me a free pizza, size large, including a brownie! If more people could be this kind I think that the community would be so much better! Thank you again!

When we brought this to the attention at the Town office across the street, the lady in charge of the parks department said that “The Park is closed but when it’s open they pick up.” When asked if we could throw the trash in their dumpster, she rolled her eyes and called someone else, while laughing at my husband. Pick up after yourselves so that others do not have to- clearly the Town could care less about the safety of others!

Welcome to Selma

Oats were cultivated thousands of years ago and were actually used as fodder for animals. Oats were rarely consumed in North America but in parts of northern Europe and Scotland they were used in porridge.

1896

OATMEAL RAISIN

Before the oatmeal cookie came into existence, there was oatcake. Since Roman times this was popular in Scotland and it was relied on for an energy boost. Apparently, during wartime, soldiers would carry oatcakes with them as a quick snack.

The First Oatmeal Cookie | Fannie Merritt Farmer creates the first-ever oatmeal cookie in the U.S.

Over half of the world’s raisins come from California. Although Napa is known worldwide for its wine-producing grapes, the Golden State’s raisin capital is actually the city of Selma— just southeast of Fresno. This area produces over 350,000 tons of raisins annually.

Home Renovations and Pets Just

Don’t

Mix

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We have a contractor coming soon to renovate our kitchen. I plan to keep my cat, “Freya,” out of the way and in a separate room during the day. But at night, she’ll want to wander the house. How do I keep her out of the kitchen? -- Jim in Portland, Maine

DEAR JIM: Cats are pretty wily, and I’m sure Freya will try to find a way around any barriers you set up to keep her out of the kitchen.

e best way to dissuade her from exploring the construction area, therefore, is to tempt her away with better distractions. at means moving her food and water to a new location far from the construction area (but out of heavy foot traffic) and giving her treats and attention whenever she opts to stay in the living room with you or near her bedding and food.

At night, tighten the barriers around the kitchen -- if there’s a door, close it. If there is plastic sheeting up, tack it to surrounding walls and tape it to the floor. Put a sheet of plywood across the entrance if necessary.

Inside the work area, make sure that the contractors put away all sharp tools and cover any containers tightly. ey should clean up any debris at the end of each day and use a wet-dry vacuum to pick up sawdust and dirt. Any spills need to be cleaned completely. is will reduce the risk to Freya if she manages to get into the kitchen, and it’s just good practice.

Readers, how did you keep your pets safe during home renovations? Tell me at ask@pawscorner.com.
