• About 50% of the explanation for a person’s set point is determined by genetic make-up, which helps to explain why some folks just seem to be naturally happier than others! It also helps explain why longterm levels of happiness appear to be resistant to many significant life events we all experience, both good and bad. • Lottery winners initially feel “euphoric,” and people who have experienced a negative life event, such as a job loss or death of a loved one, feel “deeply sorrowful,” But most of these individuals eventually gravitate back to their set point on the scale. Research confirms that personal circumstances, such as level of wealth and where we live, account for a measly 10% of our longterm happiness and overall satisfaction.

THINK POSITIVE (from page one) • Are happier people more successful in their personal and professional lives? It appears so, partly because the positive moods of happier people motivate them to work enthusiastically toward their goals. They lean toward feeling confident, optimistic, and energetic, they have a positive perception of themselves, and others find them more likable and easy to be around. Happier folks seem to perform better in job interviews and secure better positions as a result. They also tend to have less absenteeism at work.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

By Samantha Weaver

* It was beloved 20th-century American poet, memoirist and civil-rights activist Maya Angelou who made the following sage observation: “Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” * If you’re a fan of beer and/or space, you might be interested in Celeste Jewel Beer. This ale, created by Delaware-based Dogfish Head Brewery, has a unique ingredient: moon dust. Yep -- lunar meteorites were crushed into dust, then steeped in Dogfish Head’s Oktoberfest offering. The resulting libation, it’s said, possesses a subtle but complex earthiness, with notes of doughy malt, toasted bread, subtle caramel and a light herbal bitterness. * Bayreuth Festspielhaus is an opera house north of Bayreuth, Germany. The venue is dedicated to the performance of works by Richard Wagner, and the 19thcentury German composer himself chose and adapted the design. A key component is the seating: Not only are the seats arranged to give all attendees an equal and unobstructed view of the stage, but they’re also rather uncomfortable. It’s been reported that Wagner intentionally chose exceptionally hard wooden seats to prevent the audience from treating his operas as fun. *** Thought for the Day: “One of the primary tests of the mood of a society at any given time is whether its comfortable people tend to identify, psychologically, with the power Rick - Woodbridge andLabare achievements of the veryWealth successful or with the needs and sufferings of the under1/3 pg 4C 6x disc. privileged.” -- Richard Hofstadter

• Perhaps Singer’s most important contribution was his marketing technique. With the goal of putting a machine in every American home, Singer demonstrated his machine at numerous county fairs and other gatherings, using his flair for the dramatic to entice crowds to gather. • Sales were brisk. He hired traveling salesmen, but most importantly, introduced an installment payment plan for the $99 model, which enabled those with lower incomes to purchase the machine. He also included a trade-in allowance in his shrewd marketing plan. Due to the

Forty-year-old British actor Will Kemp had his breakout role in “Van Helsing,” with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale back in 2004, and has been working steadily ever since. The actor, who also is a dancer, co-starred in “Step Up 2: The Streets” and Lifetime’s “Petals on the Wind,” both roles showcasing his classical dancing training. Will also played Henry Stuart, Lord Will Kemp Darnley in the CW’s historical-fiction series “Reign,” which wrapped up its fourth and final season this summer. Next up, he stars with my favorite hardcore actress Maggie Q (have you seen her in “Designated Survivor”?) in the feature film “Slumber,” a supernatural thriller. The film centers on a sleep doctor (played by Maggie) who tries to protect a family from a demon that feeds on people in their nightmares. Catch it in theaters starting Dec. 1. ***

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

High School Kids and Social Security I spent part of my 32-year career with the Social Security Administration as a public affairs specialist in San Diego. A big aspect of that job was running around town giving speeches to various groups and organizations. As you might guess, that involved a lot of trips to senior centers and other places where older folks might hang out. It also meant talks to civic groups like Rotary and Kiwanis clubs. And believe it or not, it occasionally involved lectures to high school students. You might think the last thing a high school kid would be interested in, or want to learn about, would be Social Security. And you’d be right. But I thought it was a good idea to get teenagers to think about the subject -- from both a historical and economic viewpoint, and from the perspective of their own budding relationship with the program. Today, I will share with you some of the things I told these kids. The first thing I did was play a word association game. I asked them this question: “What do you think of when I say the words ‘Social Security’?” Inevitably, their responses would be along the lines of “old people” or “my grandparents.” But then I would surprise them by telling them that when I was in high school, I was getting a monthly check from Social Security. I asked them why that was. They usually had surprised and querulous looks on their faces. But inevitably, one of the kids would say, “Maybe one of your parents died, and you are getting a check on his or her Social Security record.” That was the right answer. (My dad ADVERTISING PROOF died when I was young.) And a little further discusFinal Changes DUE: Mon., 8/21/17 5:00 p.m.. sion would unveil the fact that there were a couple Please review carefully.

about Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal programs was kind of like talking to them about dinosaurs. It was all ancient history to a teenager. But I did ask them what they thought happened to old people before Social Security came along. How did they get along financially? Where did they live? They were surprised to learn that many older folks moved in with their grown children after they retired. A couple smart-alecky kids would usually say something like, “I sure wouldn’t want my grandma living with me!” I told them that before Social Security, well over half of all senior citizens in this country lived below the poverty level. That number is less than 10 percent today. Following this discussion, it was not uncommon for some of the students to point out that they thought their grandparents were rich because they spent a lot of time traveling to Europe and other places. I suggested to them that Social Security was more than a little bit responsible for their well-being. I also liked to talk to the kids about Social Security and economics -- especially how Social Security fits into the overall federal budget. I’d ask them this question: What do you think the federal government spends most of its money on? I would always get back a whole variety of answers, probably reflecting their parents’ own preconceived notions about government spending. Here are some of the most common answers I’d get: “welfare”... “bombs”...”foreign aid”...”food stamps”...”drug enforcement.” I would then draw a big circle on a blackboard and tell them to think of that circle as the federal government’s spending pie. I would divide that pie into four sections. I’d then label the first piece of the pie “Defense and Homeland Security” because it makes about a fourth of all federal spending. Then I would label the second big piece of the pie “Health Care” -- primarily the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Next, I would ask what the third big piece of the federal spending pie might be. Even though a few would shout out things like food stamps or foreign aid, by now most of the class understood where I was going with this. And they correctly said Social Security. Actually, Social Security is the biggest piece of the pie, making up about 28 percent of all federal expenditures.

1. The Book of Boaz is in the a) Old Testament b) New Testament c) Neither 2. Whose first chapter begins, "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God"? a) 1 Timothy b) Titus c) James d) 2 John 3. From Acts 16, what Asian city was the home of Lydia? a) Derbe b) Thyatira c) Samaria d) Jericho 4. In John 2, where did Jesus work his first miracle? a) Ur b) Cana c) Thessalonica d) Antioch 5. From 2 Samuel, who killed a giant having 12 fingers and 12 toes? a) Jonathan b) Mephibosheth c) Jambres d) Abimelech 6. In John 11, what city was home to Mary, Martha and Lazarus? a) Corinth b) Gaza c) Bethany d) Sardis (Answers on page 16) For comments or more Bible Trivia go to www.TriviaGuy.com 2017 K ing Features Syndicate Inc. © 2015 King Features Synd.,, Inc.

Page 11

And that means everything else the federal government does comes out of that last piece of pie -- the remaining one-fourth of federal spending. That’s pretty amazing when you think about it. The government spends money on thousands of programs and projects -- NASA, the Centers for Disease Control, the National Park system, the Forest Service, maintaining foreign embassies and consulates, drug enforcement, food stamps, school lunch programs, transportation projects, and on and on. Again, hundreds and hundreds of all these different programs each get a tiny fraction of that quarter piece of pie that’s left after we pay for Social Security, health care and defense. That’s why any talk of reducing government spending without putting those big three on the chopping block is just a lot of hot air. Finally, I would talk to the kids about their own relationship with Social Security. And when you are in high school, it’s a budding romance. (OK, I agree, that’s the wrong term). Most of them were just getting their first jobs at McDonald’s or the local grocery store or wherever. And I would tell them to make sure their employer had their Social Security number correctly recorded so that they would get proper credit for whatever taxes they were paying. Today, when I think back to those earlier times teaching high school kids about Social Security, I realize that most of them are now pushing 40, probably have families of their own, and have been working for many years now. I wonder if they remember anything I told them. *** If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net.

whether it is due to the fall isn’t clear. Certainly, people with postconcussion syndrome get dizziness and vertigo, but in most cases I have seen, it starts soon after the trauma: Two months is longer than I have seen. Headaches also are common in postconcussion syndrome, but their absence doesn’t mean your vertigo is NOT due to the fall. Meclizine (Antivert) is an antihistamine commonly used for vertigo; however, prolonged use (more than a few days) prevents the brain from adapting to the changes in the balance system that caused the vertigo. Thus, it’s concerning that you may still be taking it. I have seen many people taking meclizine long term and having persistent vertigo.

Flu Shots for Seniors DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: What can you tell me about the flu shots made specifically for seniors? I got sick last winter after getting a standard flu shot from my drug store. No one else with me did so, and I was the only senior in our group. I am wondering if a flu vaccine for older adults would provide me better protection this year. --Turned 70 Dear Turned: There are actually two different flu shots – the Fluzone High Dose, and FLUAD – that are designed specifically for people age 65 and older (you only need to get one of them). These FDA approved vaccines are designed to offer extra protection beyond what a standard flu shot provides. This is important for older adults who have weaker immune defenses and a greater risk of developing dangerous flu complications. Flu prevention should not be taken lightly. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that the flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills, on average, about 24,000. A full 80 percent of these are seniors. You also need to be aware that these senior-specific flu shots cannot guarantee that you won’t get the flu this season - but they will lower your risk. And if you do happen to get sick, you probably won’t get as sick as you would without it. Here’s more information on the two vaccines:

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

Page 13

Fluzone High-Dose: Approved for U.S. use in 2009, the Fluzone High-Dose (see Fluzone.com) is a high-potency vaccine that contains four times the amount of antigen as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection. This vaccine, according to a 2013 clinical trial, was 24 percent more effective than the regular-dose shot at preventing flu in seniors.

times, work in different ways to provide maximum protection.

FLUAD: Available in the U.S. since last year, the FLUAD vaccine (FLUAD.com) contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response. In a 2012 Canadian observational study, FLUAD was 63 percent more effective than a regular flu shot.

Medicare Part B covers both shots, if they are taken at least one year apart.

The CDC, however, does not recommend one vaccination over the other, and to date, there have been no studies comparing the two vaccines.

If you haven’t received any pneumococcal vaccine yet this year you should get the Prevnar 13 first, followed by Pneumovax 23 six to 12 months later. But if you’ve already been vaccinated with Pneumovax 23, wait at least one year before getting the Prevnar 13.

To locate a vaccination site that offers any of these shots, visit Vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code. *** Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

I have drawn the mark that is on a set of china I have. It was purchased in Japan in 1951. It is a ser vice for 12 that includes extra ser ving pieces. Each dish is decorated with a Japanese landscape of a pagoda and winding path, gold trim and a white background. The dishes are hand-painted in shades of black and gray. The set is in excellent condition. I would appreciate your opinion of its approximate value. by Anne McCollam

Table With Bird’s Eye View

The table in this photo is made of walnut and was given to my mother by a dear friend, who is now 96 years old. So many coats of white paint covered the table that it was not possible to see the eye of the bird. In fact, we didn’t even know it had an eye. Many of the table’s lovely details were uncovered when my mother refinished it. The approximate measurements are 24 inches high, 25 inches wide and 13 inches deep. Regretfully, there is not a furniture manufacturer’s stamp, nor are there identifying marks of any kind to assist us in learning about the table’s histor y. Mother’s friend told her the table belonged to her mother-inlaw, who was from Missouri. Could you share any information, histor y and value about the table?

Koransha was founded in Japan in 1856.

The mark you provided was used by Koransha, or “the company of the scented orchid,” in Japan. It was founded in 1856 by Ezaiemon Fukagawa. Porcelain has been made in the Arita area of Japan since the 1600s; it was a region teeming with white kaolin clay. Fukagawa’s porcelain was fired at a very hot temperature and is considered to be exceptional quality. His company was a supplier of porcelain to the Japanese Imperial House. The pattern is their 903. The value of porcelain brought back to the United States in the 1950s has diminished in recent years. Similar sets are selling in the range of $400 to $800. * * * Address your questions to Anne McCollam, P. O. Box 247, Notre Dame, IN 46556. Items of a general interest will be answered in this column.

* On Oct. 26, 1825, the 425-mile Erie Canal opens, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. Much of the canal was dug by Irish laborers who had to rely on primitive tools. They were paid $10 a month, and barrels of whiskey were placed along the canal route as encouragement. * On Oct. 27, 1873, farmer Joseph Glidden submits to the U.S. Patent Office his design of a fencing wire with sharp barbs, an invention that will forever change the face of the American West. * On Oct. 28, 1918, sailors steadfastly refuse to obey orders from the German Admiralty to go to sea in one final attack on the mighty British navy. In total, 1,000 mutineers were arrested despite repeated orders, leaving the Imperial Fleet immobilized. * On Oct. 25, 1929, Albert B. Fall, secretary of the Interior, is found guilty of accepting a bribe while in office. Fall accepted a $100,000 interest-free “loan” in exchange for granting a valuable oil lease on federal land. * On Oct. 24, 1969, movie star Richard Burton dazzles wife Elizabeth Taylor when he buys her a 69-carat Cartier diamond ring costing $1.5 million. The famous diamond was the product of a fight in which Burton called Taylor’s hands large and ugly. * On Oct. 29, 1998, nearly 40 years after he became the first American to orbit the Earth, Sen. John Glenn, Jr., is launched into space again as a payload specialist aboard the shuttle Discovery. At 77, Glenn is the oldest human ever to travel in space.

Early 1900s Demilune tables were used in hallways and small areas.

You have an example of an early 1900s demilune table. Translated from French, “demilune” means “half-moon.” Many refer to the tables as “consoles” or “half-tables.” Similar tables were often placed in hallways or small areas. The carved eagle was a popular motif in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Without any documentation of the maker, it can be impossible to identify the manufacturer. Your circa-1900 demilune table would probably fetch $125 to $275 in an antiques shop.

* On Oct. 23, 2002, about 50 Chechen rebels storm a Moscow theater, taking some 700 people hostage, and demand that Russian military forces withdraw from predominately Muslim Chechnya. Russian special forces pumped in a narcotic gas, knocking nearly all of the terrorists and hostages unconscious. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
