Dollars $and $en$e$

By Samantha Weaver

● It was beloved American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson who made the following sage observation: Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis. ● As the holidays and the inevitable family gatherings approach, you might want to prepare yourself to engage in logomachy -- a battle fought with words. ● In the African nation of Swaziland, it is illegal for a witch to fly a broomstick at an altitude above 150 meters. ● If you’re like 91 percent of Americans, you sometimes eat breakfast for dinner. ● You may have been unaware of it for the past 11 months, but 2014 has been the International Year of Family Farming, so declared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. ● Place-names sometimes enter the English language through roundabout means. Take Arkansas, for instance: That state’s name comes from the word akansa, which is a French pronunciation of an Algonquin name for the Native American Quapaw people. The original word means either “people of the south wind” or “downriver people.” ● You might be surprised to learn that the fax machine was invented in the 19th century. In 1843, a man named Alexander Bain patented Bain’s Telegraph, which was able to transmit an exact copy of lines, letters and shapes to chemically treated paper on the other end of the line. ● In 2013, for the first time, the United States offered a larger market for wine than France. *** Thought for the Day: All one’s life as a young woman one is on show, a focus of attention, people notice you. You set yourself up to be noticed and admired. And then, not expecting it, you become middle-aged and anonymous. No one notices you. You achieve a wonderful freedom. It’s a positive thing. You can move about unnoticed and invisible. -- Doris Lessing

Also, the late Joan Rivers, who took home top honors for season eight, filmed two episodes before her death earlier this year. In those episodes, she’ll be sitting in for Ivanka Trump as a judge. Donald Trump told “Today” show’s Matt Lauer that they had considered cutting Joan’s scenes, but ultimately, they decided that “in memoriam, we’re going to do something to honor her during those two shows.

In the 1941 film “High Sierra,” Bogie’s character’s dog, “Pard,” is played by Bogie’s real-life dog, Zero. Who among us could call on our dogs to perform on command amid the chaos of a film set?

SENIOR NEWS LINE by Matilda Charles © King Features Synd., Inc.

Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative Seniors sometimes buy into the stereotypes that we’re over the hill, getting weak and past our prime. Not only that, but we often develop negative attitudes about others in our group simply because of their age. There is at least one way to counter that negativity. Researchers at UC Berkeley and Yale found a way to use positive subliminal messages to increase activity levels in seniors and increase physical health -- and it only took a few weeks. The results were better than six months of exercise. One hundred seniors with an average age of 80 were divided into four groups for multiple 15-minute sessions. Some were given implicit or explicit messages. Some wrote essays about being active. Some were given positive subliminal oneword messages, flashed on a computer screen so fast they couldn’t really be seen. Psychological improvements were seen in the form of more positive self-perceptions, which then improved physical strength (getting up and down from a chair, holding a pose, staying balanced and walking). The benefits of all those positive messages

Rocky Balboa’s dog in the 1976 Oscar-winning “Rocky,” was played by Stallone’s real-life Butkus. You might question the name, but you can’t question the dedication to training. And it’s all about training. When a dog develops a problem behavior, the owner has three choices: do nothing, get rid of the dog, or get rid of the problem. By my lights, the latter is the only way to go -- except in cases of dogs who are vicious or bite children and family members. To get rid of the problem, one must: -- Accept responsibility. -- Stop blaming the dog for his inability to read the mind of a human. -- Invest in appropriate training.

Introducing

Let me first set your mind at ease: You by Tom Margenau did NOT make a huge mistake. As with the answer to the first question: Anything your ex-husband’s lawyer scribbled into the divorce decree about your eligibility for Social Security is worthless. And I’ll get back to what you are eligible for in just a minute. But I’ve just got to comment on this situation. I am always amazed at the number of emails I get from divorcees in situations very similar to your own. Over the years, I have heard from hundreds of women whose husbands insisted on such a Social Se My 36-year-old niece is about to curity “noneligibility” clause in the divorce decree. make a huge mistake.

Noritake Porcelain has been made in Ja pan since 1904. In the mid-1950s, many U.S. military men and women serving in the East purchased dinnerware sets to be sent back to their families in the states. “Shelburne” is the name of the pattern, and the number “5316” is the design number. The insurance value of your set would probably be $1,500 to $2,000.
