Living with dementia can be very difficult. As with any medical condition, patients and their loved ones want to know what caused the condition in the first place. Further, many people wonder if dementia is hereditary, and if so, if it is likely that they will pass it onto their children or inherit it from their parents.

However, since dementia is a collection of symptoms and not usually caused by a disease, virus or genetic mutation, it is nearly impossible to find a genetic link. Some studies suggest that only 1 out of 100 cases of seem to be hereditary, but with such small odds, it may just be a case of chance.

There is one type of dementia, Huntington’s disease, that is caused by the inheritance of a faulty gene. This type of dementia is very, very rare and mainly affects those of European descent. People of African or Asian descent are even less likely to suffer from Huntington’s disease. This is the only type of dementia that is thought to be hereditary.

What Causes Dementia

Since dementia is not typically hereditary, you may be left wondering what causes dementia. In short, there is no one cause of dementia because there several different kinds of dementia. Even then, there is not solely one cause per type of dementia.

The four most common types of dementia are:

  • Frontotemporal Dementia
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Lewy Bodies Dementia
  • Vascular Dementia

Some other types of dementia include Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease. There is also a condition called “mixed dementia,” which is when a patient shows symptoms from different types of dementia.

Common Causes of Dementia

The main cause of dementia is age. As the body grows older, the neurotransmitters naturally become weaker. This means that the brain is unable to send messages to the rest of the body like it used to. Dementia is diagnosed when a person’s neurotransmitters breakdown at an abnormally greater rate than the typical person.

In addition to age, there are many other causes of dementia. Damage to the brain cells is the underlying cause in most cases of dementia, but there are several ways that this could happen.

Here are the most common causes of dementia:

  • Injury: Physical trauma or extended periods of unconsciousness can cause irreversible damage to brain cells.
  • Prion Disease: This type of disease causes proteins in the brain to morph and mutate.
  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Although there has been a link established between dementia and HIV, exactly how HIV causes dementia is still being researched.
  • Stroke: Blockage of blood flowing to the brain in one cause of vascular dementia.
  • Further development of existing issues: Many conditions lead to the development of dementia as a patient progresses into the end stages; multiple sclerosis is a prime example.

While dementia itself is not reversible, the symptoms are sometimes caused by reversible or treatable factors. These can include vitamin deficiencies, improper pairing of drugs, depression and thyroid issues. If these factors have not yet damaged the brain cells, identifying and treating these issues should help to erase the symptoms of dementia.

Risk Factors of Dementia

Old age is the biggest risk factor for dementia. After the age of 65, the chances of the onset of dementia doubles every five years. There are many factors that put people at higher risk of being diagnosed with dementia.

Those who suffer from cardiovascular disease, insomnia, sleep apnea, diabetes, depression, brain trauma and midlife obesity are prone to dementia. Regular smokers and excessive drinkers also run a high risk of experiencing the symptoms.

Preventing Dementia

If you are one of the very few people who suffer from Huntington’s disease, there is very little you can do to prevent the onset of dementia due to the hereditary factors. If you believe that you are at risk of dementia for any other reason, it is smart to take action in preventing or delaying the dementia by speaking to your doctor.

Here are some habits that you can incorporate into your lifestyle as a way of preventing dementia:

    • Regular exercise and physical activity
    • Follow a diet that is rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats
    • Maintaining healthy blood pressure
    • Wear a helmet on bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, etc. to prevent brain damage
    • Maintain a healthy sleep schedule
    • Completely avoid smoking
    • Do not drink excessively

  • For diabetes patients: regulate your blood sugar and avoid high glycemic foods

While none of these practices are guaranteed to prevent dementia, they can certainly help to decrease your risks of being diagnosed with dementia. Since some of the risk factors of dementia can be linked to one another, most of the preventative measures actually are used to prevent several of the conditions.

There is no need to worry about dementia being passed down to you unless either of your parents had or have Huntington’s disease. Research has yet to support the idea that any of the most common types of dementia are hereditary, although research is still ongoing.

Since there are a variety of factors that increase your risks of being diagnosed with dementia, it is important to take action to prevent this condition if you believe you may be susceptible.

During the Board of Education’s Nov. 8 meeting, Superintendent Kevin Smith presented the Wilton Public School District’s budget goals and assumptions for fiscal year 2020 (FY20).

It’s important that the school budget “lines up to” the district’s priorities, said Smith, adding that the following goals for FY20 do not complete the district's list of funding priorities but are at the top “in terms of rank order:”

  • Provide “adequate funding to maintain and improve the high-quality education” by funding an alternative high school program and secondary special education coordinator, and moving the district’s digital learning director, Fran Kompar, from a part-time to full-time position.

  • Target investments, including those in staff members, in order to “advance the district’s strategic objectives.”

  • Adhere to the Board of Education’s guidelines for class size.

  • Maintain investment in professional learning initiatives.

  • Fund year two of the district’s capital improvement plan.

  • Fund year three of the district’s digital learning plan.

  • Remain within the Board of Finance’s budget guidance of a 1.6% increase.

A proposal for an alternative high school program will soon be “coming to the Teaching and Learning Committee and [Board of Education] for review,” said Smith.

When it comes to adding a second special education coordinator, Smith acknowledged the projected 32-student enrollment decrease for next year, as well as Wilton residents’ concerns about taxes, but said he believes he could “make a really strong argument” for adding to “the administrative pool.” Smith said he plans to present “a rationale” in subsequent weeks about why adding a second special education coordinator is a priority.

Smith is proposing moving Kompar into a full-time position because of how important digital learning is to the “quality and diversity of learning experiences” in the district, he said, as well as the fact that Kompar currently “does the work of three people” despite being only a part-time employee. Board of Education member Glenn Hemmerle suggested moving Kompar to full-time sooner, if possible. The board agreed to discuss the matter during its next meeting.

Smith said the school district can expect “continuing pressure” on its budget, resulting in part from “a potential decline in grand list revenue as a result of the revaluation,” as well as a cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, and “potential for reassignment of a portion of the teacher pension obligation to municipalities.”

In addition to a projected 32-student enrollment decrease next school year, the district is expecting to see a 4.6% decrease in medical insurance costs, as well as a possible decrease in employer contributions to pensions and OPEB.

The district is also looking at the following projected increases going into the FY20 budget:

  • Teacher salaries: 3%

  • Administrator salaries: 3.4%

  • Secretary and paraprofessional salaries 2.3%

  • Custodian salaries: 2%

  • Utilities: 6%

  • Liability insurance costs: 5%

  • Transportation costs: 4%

According to a budget goals and assumptions document prepared by Smith, total salary increases will be partially offset by an approximate staff turnover of 3%. The document also notes that the district will:

  • Examine and implement cost efficiencies where possible.

  • Comply with federal and state mandates.

  • Honor collective bargaining agreements.

The Board of Education will next meet Thursday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m. for an organizational and regular meeting in the Wilton High School Professional Library.

Wind farm rejected

Credit:  ABC News | 20 November 2012 | www.abc.net.au ~~

Plans for a wind farm on the New South Wales far south coast have been shelved.

The Sydney based company known as Epuron lodged an application with the Bega Valley Shire Council in 2011.

The proposal outlined a plan to build seven turbines at the South East Fibre Export site, south of Eden.

The Southern Joint Regional Planning Panel decided to vote down the idea this week at a meeting with the Bega Valley Shire and members of the Eden community.

The Panel’s Chairwoman, Pam Allan, said the decision to reject the plan was based on a number of factors.

“The panel has decided to reject the Eden wind farm because we believe that it results in an unacceptable visual impact on Twofold Bay and the broader environment,” she said.

“We don’t think that any economic or social benefits that would come from the development of the wind farm would outweigh those potential adverse impacts on the landscape or the wilderness values of the area.”

Ms Allan said the plan lacked social and economic benefits for the community.

“Essentially it comes down to the fact that while there would be limited benefit to the region, it would not justify the impact it would have on the overall landscape,” she said.

“This is a very important environmental, as well as heritage landscape.”

The Save Twofold Bay group is delighted by the decision.

The group’s spokesman, Neil Rankin, said it was a long time coming.

“We’re extremely happy, but also relieved that it’s over and that Eden can move on to better things,” he said.

“We can now work on new ideas and try and get Eden out of the slump for the moment.”

Mr Rankin said he didn’t think that the visual impact would be one of the major factors for the panel.

“We were concerned about them and we didn’t think that would be the main reason for the objection,” he said.

“We thought it would be other reasons, the National Parks, being one, Ben Boyd’s Tower, and the mouth of Kiah, and Davidson’s Whaling Station.”

How to Disable UAC In Windows 10

There are probably a lot of times when while you’re using a program in Windows, a screen which looks like the one above pops up at you. This security feature is called UAC or User Account Control. Are you getting irritated with it? Feel like turning it off? Then you’ve come to the right place.

How to disable UAC

What is UAC?

UAC is a security feature. It makes sure that no application will run with administrative permissions/make changes to your computer, unless you allow it to do so.

That can be important as without it, a virus wouldn’t have to use tricks in order to infect you.

When an application has to make changes on your computer, the UAC will pop-up and will ask if you’ll allow it to do so. Thus giving it administrative permissions until you close it.

Be careful

Disable this only if you’re a tech-savvy person or if you truly trust your security programs.

Disabling this feature while you’re logged in as an administrator will make all computer applications run with administrative privileges. Which, is not a good thing.

How to Disable UAC in Windows 10

The first thing that you’ll have to do is to open the control panel. Go to the left part of your taskbar where you’ll find the search bar, then type Control Panel and open it.

Now you just need to go into the user account settings, to do that, click on User Accounts, and do the same with the next window for this screen to come up.

How to disable UAC
At this point, all you have to do is to click on Change User Account Control Settings.

How to turn off UAC

Now you can disable or enable UAC. To completely disable it, just drag the bar all the way down.

Sliding it up will enable it again. The further you go, the more often that you’ll have it popping up on your screen.

5 thoughts on “How to Disable UAC In Windows 10”

  1. The problem with this option is it breaks many parts of Windows – some built in applications don’t run and some run but with a false error message about not being able to be run by the built-in administrator.

    • This should not have affected whether or not you can edit the registry. It would have simply stopped asking you to authorize it.
      You sure that you’re using the same User Account?

Big Top thrills in a historic setting

Roll up, roll up, for a story about the greatest show on earth – well, Great Yamouth… the story of the world famous Hippodrome Circus!

Built in 1903 by the legendary showman George Gilbert, the Great Yarmouth Hippodrome was one of many purpose-built circus buildings put up around the country at a time when circuses were the number one form of entertainment. There were six in Great Yarmouth alone, but it is now the only one in the country still being used solely  for its original purpose. Circuses and other entertainment are put on all year round – from the summer spectacular to the traditional Christmas circus and even horror-themed  shows around Halloween.

Over the years, the Hippodrome has hosted concerts, political rallies and plays, been used as a film set and was even requisitioned for military shooting practice during the Second World War. In recent years it has hosted The Berlin Symphony Orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Julian Lloyd Webber and The Russian Philharmonic, Moscow State Circus, Chinese State Circus, Circus of Horrors and BBC Question Time, among others. David Lloyd George held political rallies there, Lillie Langtry sang, Little Tich made people laugh with his music hall routines, Max Miller joked and Charlie Chaplin is said to have performed here as a child.

The crushed  velvet seats and ring edging may be faded and a little tatty around the edges, but once the lights go down, the magic happens and crowds flock to see some of the world’s greatest performers who test the limits of courage, endurance and the human body itself.

But its famous party- piece is the water spectacular. In full view of the audience, the ring floor sinks to reveal a swimming pool and a water ballet evocative of the Esther Williams films of the 1940s. In years gone by horses also swam in the water and the audience was invited to dive in for sixpences. Animals have not been involved for many years but, when they were, it wasn’t uncommon to see elephants on the beach meeting holidaymakers and enjoying a paddle.

It’s certainly a building with many stories to tell. It still smells of more than a century of greasepaint, straw and candyfloss and the ghost of George Gilbert is said to walk the upper balcony… many technicians believe that anything going wrong, such as a blown bulb, is his work.

But that’s where the funny business ends… following the 2016 “scary clown” craze, owner Peter Jay – who bought the building in 1979 – banned clowns from all performances. There’s still fun and frolicking, but the red noses and white make-up are long gone. Instead it is more a Cirque Du Soleil-style show, with death-defying motorcycle stunts, rollerskaters, illusionists, escapologists, acrobats and jaw-dropping displays of the seemingly impossible, all done without smoke or mirrors.

But the building – built as a replacement for its wooden predecessor – attracts as many “oohs” and “aahs” as the show itself. Decorated with terracotta tiles and wonderful examples of Art Nouveau stained glass windows, it once faced the seafront across an open square –the centrepiece of the Golden Mile.

Dubbed one of the seven wonders of the British seaside, there is now an amusement arcade blocking it off from the promenade so it is hard to really appreciate the impressive towers and its elegance and faded grandeur, but it’s well worth a look around. Trees, peacocks and other birds grace the façade and the columns, and there are flowers and fruit on the panels – all in classic Art Nouveau style. The whole length of the building is decorated with owls – staring ahead, wings outspread.

The architects of Gilbert’s dream were the Cockrill family, whose distinctive terracotta-embellished style can be seen all over the town. At the opening night ceremony, it is reported that Miss Nellie Cockrill sang a song entitled The East Anglian Flag, before a cyclist pedalled to the top of the dome – and leaped into the water-filled ring… a tough act to follow as a show-starter.

But it’s what the talented international cast do night after night – and often in the afternoons as well.

The 2019 Halloween Spooktacular starts on October 19 and runs until November 3 with 29 show times to choose from! Visit to book or for more information.

BBC celebrates release of lost Doctor Who: The Power of the Daleks with Twitter stickers

The missing six-episode Doctor Who serial has been recreated in animation

28 Nov 2016

The Doctor Who 'Power of the Daleks' Twitter stickers mark the release of a lost sci-fi classic

The BBC is marking the release of a lost Doctor Who saga in perhaps the most unlikely of fashions - with a series of Twitter stickers.

The Power of the Daleks was a key story in Doctor Who lore, as it introduced the concept of regeneration - or 'renewal', as it was originally called. As an ailing William Hartnell departed the series, producer Innes Lloyd came up with the idea of The Doctor regenerating at the point of death, introducing Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor and establishing a core piece of the series' mythology.

Sadly, all six episodes of the serial - originally broadcast weekly from November 5 to December 10, 1966 - were lost. The BBC at the time didn't keep all shows for archive purposes, and so master tapes were destroyed or recorded over. However, audio recordings remain, allowing the episodes to be recreated in animation.

In order to see this embed, you must give consent to Social Media cookies. Open my cookie preferences.

The recreated episodes are available now on the BBC Store, but to mark the serial's release, Twitter users can freshen up their tweets with some tie-in stickers. The stickers can be added to photos shared on the service, letting you play dress up in vintage Who couture.

The eight stickers include the Doctor's hat, companion Polly's hair, the TARDIS, a Dalek, Bragen's hat, the 500 Year Diary, the examiner badge and Lesterson's jacket - all surely iconic to hardcore Whovians. They match the items' appearance in the animated version of the storyline, which itself is modelled on the sets and characters of the live action original.

The icons are only available on the official Twitter app for smartphones - sorry web users or anyone using a third-party app. Users can add a sticker by starting a new tweet, adding a photo, and then click on the smiley face to add the stickers. The free Power of the Daleks stickers are in the Twitter Sticker Library now, and will be available until the end of the week.

Wow, there is much going on in Impeachment Land, and we're not even talking about Nancy Pelosi's impeachment resolution passing in the House by a vote of 232 to "people who eat paste," which included two dickhole Democrats, neither of whom were Tulsi Gabbard, good job for once, Tulsi!

Let's briefly tick through some news and see if we can assess the state of play before it all changes in two hours:

John Eisenberg, YOU ARE SO FAMOUS!

Y'all remember the name John Eisenberg yet? You need to bookmark his name in your brain, because he's at the center of ALLA THIS.

Eisenberg is the top lawyer for the National Security Council who decided at some point after Trump's Crime Extortion Treason Jerkoff Call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that all records of that call should be placed on the super secret Bin Laden server for America's deepest state secrets and also Trump's most perfect crime calls. (Transcript featuring many curious ellipses!) The White House has lately been trying to stick all the culpability for what happened after that call on Eisenberg, and while we are pretty sure he did BAD SHIT, we also doubt he is the only bad egg in the pumpkin patch.

He's also the brick wall pretty much every whistleblower and concerned White House official ran into when they heard/found out about the treason call and brought him their "concerns." When the original whistleblower went to CIA Counsel Courtney Simmons Elwood, she went to Eisenberg. He already had at that point been hearing rumblings around the water cooler about the bad call, perhaps because people had been raising alarms about it pretty much since Trump hung up the phone with Zelenskiy, and also he was the one who put the records of Trump's "perfect" shakedown call with the president of Ukraine on the Bin Laden Server.

When former NSC Russia adviser Fiona Hill got freaked out about Rudy Giuliani's shadow crime policy engagement with Ukraine, John Bolton sent her to Eisenberg.

Also Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman went to him more than once with his concerns about the Trump Ukraine crime policy, and that brings us to the new news we are learning from what he said in his testimony before the impeachment committees this week.

According to the Washington Post, Vindman was so worried about what he had just heard on Trump's crime call that he went to Eisenberg "moments" after it ended. And apparently it was right then and there that Eisenberg decided to put the call on the Bin Laden server, you know, to cover up Trump's crimes.

Scribbling notes on a yellow legal pad, Eisenberg proposed a step that other officials have said is at odds with long-standing White House protocol: moving a transcript of the call to a highly classified server and restricting access to it, according to two people familiar with Vindman's account.

So it WAS his idea to begin with! As the Post notes, this is the first witness testimony which specifically pinned that decision on Eisenberg.

You'd think Congress might want to talk to this jackhole, and you'd think right, because they have invited him to be their guest on Monday, along with another White House lawyer named Mike Ellis, who reportedly went to Eisenberg with Vindman and his brother Yevgeny, who also works at NSC.

Anything Else About Vindman's Testimony Before We Move On?

Oh just that he told Congress he's one of the 900 million people who figured out that Trump was literally doing an extortion quid pro quo to Ukraine way back at the beginning of July, before the crime call ever happened.

Another One Comes To Congress After Quitting White House To Spend More Time Not Working At White House

Tim Morrison, come on down! Tim Morrison, a John Bolton underling, was Fiona Hill's replacement as the top Russia adviser at the NSC. He held this position for approximately nine seconds -- Hill officially left in August, Morrison came in for the transition in July -- but he announced Wednesday night that he was quitting ahead of his congressional testimony, which is happening RIGHT NOW.

The Trump administratrion put on a brave face:

"After more than a year of service at the National Security Council, Mr. Morrison has decided to pursue other opportunities – and has been considering doing so for some time. We wish him well," the official said.

Yeah, you betcha.

Ambassador Bill Taylor testified that he had gone to Morrison with his worries that Trump was holding up assistance to Ukraine, and Morrison replied in August that "the president doesn't want to provide any assistance at all." More of what Taylor said about Morrison, via NPR:

Taylor testified that Morrison told him that Gordon Sondland, Trump's ambassador to the European Union, had informed a top Ukrainian official that U.S. military aid hinged on Zelenskiy's committing to investigating the firm connected with Biden's son. [...]

It was Morrison who described having a "sinking feeling" and alerted NSC lawyers after a Sept. 7 call between Sondland and Trump about the alleged pressure, according to Taylor's testimony.

Hoo boy. Remember, Trump was demanding a "deliverable" -- a CNN interview to put a fine point on it -- in exchange for congressionally appropriated military aid, because Trump didn't just want investigations, he wanted the FAKE NEWS to say Ukraine was doing investigations, to make it look legit. And Morrison had that "sinking feeling" because Trump had told Gordon Sondland that he wanted Volodymyr Zelenskiy to "go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of Biden and 2016 election interference." On CNN, please!

And Morrison went to "NSC lawyers" with his own concerns, too? Could that be ... JOHN EISENBERG WHO IS SO FAMOUS NOW?

As we said, Morrison is in Congress right now, and oh what a testimony it's been so far! First of all, he's reportedly said yes, everything Bill Taylor said about Trump's extortion and quid pro quos and whatnot with Ukraine is exactly right.

Morrison corroborated that he spoke with Taylor at least twice in early September. The first conversation was to alert him that Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, had told the Ukrainians that no U.S. aid would be forthcoming until they announced an investigation of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that had hired Biden's son Hunter, a person familiar with the matter said.

Morrison also told lawmakers that he spoke with Taylor again on Sept. 7 to share a "sinking feeling" about a worrisome conversation between Trump and Sondland, the person said. Morrison said that, during that conversation, Trump said he wasn't seeking a "quid pro quo" but went on to insist that Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky had to publicly announce that he was opening investigations of Biden and 2016 election interference.

Golly gee, isn't it funny how everybody seems to tell the same exact story? (You know, except Gordon Sondland, a known dipshit.)

Morrison, who, like Vindman, heard the crime call between Trump and Zelenskiy, reportedly didn't necessarily think all this crime was crime, but he definitely thought it was "problematic," in the Post's telling.

Then again, Morrison is quitting White House, so that should tell you something. And he did make noise about Trump's crime extortion with Ukraine to NSC lawyers, including the crime call on July 25, so that should also tell you something.

Anyway, does it really matter if this dude didn't necessarily think he was witnessing crimes, if he proceeds to give a chapter-and-verse description of the crimes he doesn't think are crimes? We think not.

Moving on!

Gonna Come See Congress, John Bolton? Or Do You Just Want To Write Your Book And Give Yourself Mustache Rides On Your Glorious Mustache?

John Bolton has also been invited to Congress for breakfast and lunch and dinner next Thursday! Will he show up? His lawyer Charles Cooper says Bolton's "not willing to appear voluntarily," AKA not just coming if Congress asks nicely, suggesting that maybe they'd appreciate a friendly subpoena, but the lawyer also is not saying they'd say yes to a friendly subpoena.

We doubt John Bolton wants to get in trouble with Congress right now, though. He after all witnessed pretty much every damn crime in Trump's Ukraine crime spree, at least the ones that happened before he was officially quit-fired from White House.

Or maybe he really really really really wants to put all this in his new book and make $ off it, which would be difficult if he had already spilled his whole guts to Congress.

What a pickle to be in, John Bolton!

Anything Else, As If We Need More?

Oh yeah and also former White House counsel Don McGahn's lawyers are in court today arguing that Congress is not his real dad therefore Congress's subpoenas are meaningless. Meanwhile Charles Kupperman, who was Bolton's deputy, and who like Bolton is repped by Charles Cooper, is in court today asking them to resolve whether he should obey a subpoena from Congress or whether he should take mean tweets from Donald Trump as God's law on earth. Stay tuned on those! It looks like Bolton may be waiting to see what the judge says to his old pal Kupperman.

Until then, let's make another joke about John Bolton giving himself mustache rides so you can imagine what kind of yoga position he'd have to be in to do that LOLOLOL gross yuck goodbye.

Anyway, Not Much Going On.

Yeah, boring day.

Travel Writing – Earning Money By Writing About Your Travels

Travel writing as a freelance author is one of the fastest-growing segments on the internet. As a freelance travel writer, travel-related websites will pay you for your articles, no matter where it is. But before that, you need to answer these three questions:

Do you love to travel?

Do you find yourself keeping a journal or a diary of your travel adventures?

Would you like to get paid for those travel adventures you’ve been going on and writing down?

Who Will Pay?

Of course, the first question out of your mouth should be: ‘Why would someone pay me for my travel writing?’ and that is a very good question and a very legitimate one. The answer is simple: most travel related sites support themselves with advertising revenue and affiliate programs with travel companies like Orbitz and the like.

In order for the owners to increase the traffic to their sites, they need content from a variety of sources. The most popular resource is freelance travel writers. You see, the more content they have, the more likely someone searching for information specific to their site content. They will be visible in search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing. In addition, the more people who visit their travel site, the greater the chance becomes that the visitor will click an advertisement that generates the site some income.

Now you may be thinking that travel writing editors may reject your submission, and that’s true if you’re submitting just to travel magazines. However, most travel-writing web sites are not as strict, and the good ones will help you with your writing and edit it so that is grammatically correct if you struggle with that.

More Ways to Get Paid to Travel

Another excellent way to get paid for your travel writing is with a blog about your travel adventures. You can set up a blog for free at a number of sites. To get started making money, just sign-up for a free Google AdSense Account and Google will place relevant ads on your site. As people read your articles, they may click on one of the ads and you get paid for that click. Believe me, those clicks add up fast and the next thing you know Google is sending you a check or depositing money in your PayPal account.

Even if you’re not a world traveller, I’m willing to bet that you go do things and see places close to you. Those little excursions are what you need to write about. Remember that where you live is a destination for other people. If you write about it, people will find it and read about it.

If you’re not sure where to start with your travel writing, how to set up a free blog or even what a good travel article looks like there are hundreds of resources, examples and guides online that can help you get started. Some of the resources are free and some cost money.

Who knows, that next trip you take may just very well get paid for with your travel writing!

Did you know you can still become a published travel writer? And enjoy lucrative cash payments for your work – without even leaving your armchair?

Just Write About Your Experiences.

Where did you last go on vacation? What adventures did you enjoy on your last weekend away? Where are the best restaurants in Paris, Texas, Manchester, or even your home town?

All of this information can QUICKLY and EASILY be compiled into a fascinating, informative travel article – in LESS than an HOUR. If you know how.

Imprisoned soldiers rebelled during Vietnam War

50 years ago, Fort Dix burned

The following report is based on a chapter in Catalinotto’s book, “Turn the Guns Around: Mutinies, Soldier Revolts and Revolutions” (World View Forum, 2017), which tells the story of the American Servicemen’s Union, an anti-war, anti-racist organization of U.S. active-duty service members during 1968-75.

On the evening of June 5, 1969, hundreds of GIs imprisoned in the Army stockade at Fort Dix, N.J., rose up in rebellion. Half the stockade burned as these troops, many of them active opponents of the U.S. war in Vietnam, defended themselves against an attack by 250 military police.

Some of the most effective anti-war soldier organizers were being held in the Fort Dix Stockade during the first half of 1969: Henry Mills, Terry Klug, John Lewis, Bill Brakefield, Tom Tuck, Tom Catlow, Jeffrey Russell and Robert North. Lewis, Mills and North had organized meal strikes and other mass actions in the stockade in early 1969.

The stockade commanders considered the whole prisoner body to be a pack of trouble, and accordingly, they inflicted whole groups with collective punishment. For weeks building up to June 5, the anger of the GIs had been growing. Their issues: inadequate food, long confinements without trial, racism in the stockade system against Black and Puerto Rican GIs and interference with their mail.  (The AWOL Press, vol. 1, No. 6)

On June 5, with temperatures in the sun over 90°F, the guards ordered the GIs housed in prison blocks 66 and 67 to stand in formation for hours that afternoon.

To this kind of provocation, the men’s reaction was destined to go beyond refusing to eat a meal. That evening, hundreds of prisoners smashed windows, threw beds and footlockers out of the barracks, and some set buildings afire. The stockade authorities sent in 250 troops armed with riot guns and tear gas. They beat Brakefield, a member of the American Servicemen’s Union (ASU) and an anti-war activist, until he was unconscious.

As soon as the union learned of the rebellion and of the brutal repression of our members and other GIs, ASU Chairperson Andy Stapp got to work building support for the prisoners and for any of the GIs facing new charges. The first step was to put the Army on the defensive for systematic, brutal treatment of the prisoners, most of whom were facing charges for the very low-level offense of Absent Without Official Leave (AWOL). The next step was to demand the right to investigate conditions in the stockade.

ASU gets Army to answer

The following article appeared in the ASU monthly newspaper, The Bond, that July:

“On June 20, the Army answered the ASU. In a letter written for the Secretary of the Army by Col. James C. Shoultz, Jr. (“Acting the Provost Marshal General”), the Brass denied that GIs in the Dix stockade had been abused, denied overcrowding, denied that MPs used “physical contact” with the prisoners (but admitted that nine prisoners had been hurt), denied that tear gas was used and refused to allow the ASU to investigate the stockade or see medical records.

“In addition to imprisoning and then further mistreating these citizen soldiers, the Army now proposes to try them for their resistance. Of the 150 involved in the rebellion, 38 have now been charged as a result of this resistance. Ten have been singled out for special charges of riot, inciting to riot, conspiracy to riot, arson, etc. Four of these are ASU organizers. One is Terry Klug who returned from Europe several months ago, where he worked with RITA — GI resisters.

“Another is Tom Tuck, a Black GI who earlier led the ‘Dirty Dozen’ at Fort Knox, Ky. Bill Brakefield received sanctuary at City College in New York last fall when he refused orders for Vietnam. Jeff Russell joined the Union while confined in the stockade.

“It should be made perfectly clear that the Army has no right to try them. It has no more right to try them than General Motors has a right to try workers who go on strike against them.

“The ASU is not only busy publicizing the vicious injustice of this Brass attack, it is rallying support among civilians as well as GIs to fight back.” (The Bond, July 22, 1969)

If Mills and Lewis escaped being arrested and charged, it was only because they weren’t housed in Cell Blocks 66 and 67. The two had been organizing effective mass actions — like meal strikes — against the stockade authorities, but none of the strikes had turned into a spontaneous general rebellion as on June 5.

The charges against the thirty-eight, and especially against the five GIs singled out for general courts-martial and possible heavy sentences — including the ASU organizers and their closest allies — were extremely serious. Klug faced more than 56 years in prison.

For the 21-year-olds at Fort Dix, it was mind-boggling to think they were facing decades in prison merely for rebelling against injustice.

For the ASU national organizers in their NYC office, there was only one guilty party: the U.S. Army. Sure, someone set the stockade on fire, but it was a building that shouldn’t have been there in the first place. And it was holding the wrong prisoners.

The Pentagon officers were dropping napalm bombs on villages all over Vietnam and setting people on fire every day. The GIs knew that, and you could tell from their letters that many of them hated it. The ASU members especially hated it, and it was understandable that some took direct action to express their feelings.

The ASU started to organize defense for the Fort Dix 38 just as it had for the Black GIs at Fort Hood, Texas, who were protesting riot-control duty in Chicago the prior summer. Union organizers decided to first build solidarity among other GIs and with the civilian anti-war movement, then get publicity out to all the anti-war media to build support and break the story into the corporate media.

The ASU had an advantage in the summer of 1969: A majority of the population had turned against the war, with an even larger majority in the Northeast. Also, Fort Dix was only 36 miles from Philadelphia and 72 miles from New York City. Unlike Fort Hood, Fort Dix was not in rural Texas where the anti-war and anti-racist GIs could be isolated from their supporters.

The government still had its repressive state power right there at Fort Dix, but there were thousands of young revolutionaries and hundreds of thousands of sympathizers who would, when they heard the truth about the stockade, support the Fort Dix 38.

Special message from defendants

During that summer of 1969, when the Richard Nixon administration was making the first tentative moves to pull U.S. troops out of Vietnam, the ASU published a special message from the GIs among the Fort Dix 38 who were closest to the union and faced general courts-martial and the most consequential charges. Here are excerpts from some of their statements published in a special flyer by the ASU:

“Jeffrey Russell: ‘On June 5, the prisoners were made to stand at attention for four hours in the boiling sun. The same day two prisoners were beaten by guards. Twice that day the people’s personal items had been torn through and scattered. After lunch cell blocks 66 and 67 were uprooted and the people were forced to change cell blocks. The people stood in the sun for three hours before they were moved. … Other guards said that this was part of a plan to force the people to riot. … The riot that came on June 5 was a glorious retaliation, by the people, against the Nazi repression and the mercenary Army… . The people chanted, “Vietnam, we won’t go.”’

“Carlos Rodriguez Torres: ‘The next thing I tell you is absolutely true and I can use the person’s name because it was me. … Sgt. Himan put his hands on me and I tried to protect myself. SP4 Miller started punching. Next thing I know all six are trying to put me down and tie my hands behind my back and begin to put on pressure. More punches on my back, sides, head and, next thing I know, Sgt. Himan, to prove he is the man he isn’t, puts my head on the floor, left side up, and leaves an imprint of his boot and bump on the other side. They kicked me in the back of my head, and put a foot on the back of my neck and applied pressure.’

“William Brakefield: ‘What we want as a union has been said before. We want the rights afforded human beings, and not what being slaves of capitalist exploiters forces us to accept; we don’t want “yes-sir-ing” or any more “sir-ing” of officers, which is equal to “yes mista bossman” and “nosa mista Charlie”… . We want freedom for those of us who wish not to serve the nation in times of unjust wars or in any war the United States wages if we choose not to serve. … We want the plague against the Black man removed from the army forever, especially against the Black Panthers and the Black Muslims.’

“Terry Klug: ‘We as 38 GIs who have already served much time in Pig concentration camps for crimes against nature and mankind — such as going home to be with our wives, girlfriends and families, for refusing to go to Vietnam and participating as human beings in an imperialistic and inhuman war against brave men and women fighting for their own freedom, for speaking out against the fascism that presides in our military and, indeed, throughout our entire governmental system, and for the crime of being Black or Puerto Rican. … May our many comrades who are presently and fortunately on the outside take up the fight with us so that we together, as one strength, as one righteous force, may bring an end to the evil that is warping our country and bringing destruction and suffering on our brothers of the world.’”

Klug’s supporters outside got his message. The ASU, the Fort Dix anti-war coffeehouse, Students for a Democratic Society, YAWF and the Rainbow Coalition — which included the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords Organization, the Young Patriots, the Resistance and the Committee to Free the Ft. Dix 38 — all began to start organizing for a mass demonstration set for Oct. 12, 1969.

Look for a report later in the year about the Oct. 12 women-led demonstration and the resolution of the charges against the rebellious soldiers.

Tasting My Way Around the Caribbean

Food here is as varied as the region itself, combining local produce, spices, and seafood with influences from around the world. Audrey Gillan visits three islands, discovering three very different food cultures.

Through a window hatch at the front of a brightly painted wooden shack, Cuz hands me a fish cutter, his face breaking into a giant smile. I’ve been waiting here, near Pebbles Beach in Barbados, the easternmost island of the Lesser Antilles, for one of its most famous sandwiches – cutters – a salt-bread roll filled with fried fish seasoned with Bajan spices. These are typically allspice, onion powder, chilies, thyme, parsley, nutmeg, clove, and black pepper.

Cuz’s father, Cuz senior, began the business almost seven decades ago, and the family still sells around 500 cutters a day. Pointing to a stack of rolls, Cuz says: “When they’re done, I’m done; I pack up and go.” Inside, a radio blares and two large pans keep the oil sizzling as Cuz deftly fries fish and fires them onto buns, topping each with salad. The fish is soft, sweet, and so moreish I get back in line for seconds.

Eating out in Barbados can be expensive – the west coast of the island is dotted with wallet-busting fine-dining restaurants – but when you seek out the local fare, you’ll find gems like Cuz’s. Food stalls and vans serving hot lunches out of their back doors cluster in beach car parks and “pon de roadside”: fried chicken or baked fish, accompanied by macaroni pie – known as just “pie”; it’s made with long tubes of macaroni, mixed with cheese, evaporated milk, Bajan spices, and hot sauce, all of it baked until crisp. These are cooked daily in homes across the island, loaded into silver chafing dishes, and driven out to meet demand.

Stop by the wet markets in Bridgetown, Oistins, or Speightstown to see the abundant varieties of fish caught not far from shore: marlin, mahi mahi, and the ubiquitous flying fish, that shimmer when they swim in shoals and break the surface of the water. Upstairs at bustling Cheapside vegetable market you’ll discover tiny, hole-in-the-wall food stalls that fry doughy fish cakes made from salt fish, flour, herbs, and spices.

On a Friday night, head to Oistins Friday Night Fish Fry for seafood, rum, beer, dominoes and dancing. There’s always a long queue at Uncle George Fish Net Grill, where the eponymous Uncle George, tongs in one hand, spatula in the other, flips tuna, swordfish, lobster, shrimp and “dolphin” (mahi mahi).

Or take your own, self-guided local food tour by hopping on one of the souped-up vans (ZR buses) that pump out reggae music and beep their horns at potential passengers on the sidewalk. Costing $1 US a ride, they’re an ideal way to skip from rum shop to rum shop, sipping rum punch while you try Barbados’s national dish: flying fish and cou cou (cornmeal and okra).

In Barbados, “having a lime” is to party and have a good time, and zipping around on “reggae buses” is just that.

St. Lucia

There’s nutmeg and cinnamon, soursop, sugar apples, limes, plantains – even cow’s milk in recycled glass bottles, all piled on top of wooden stalls. It’s a Saturday morning at Castries Market in St. Lucia, about 110mi (180km) northwest of Barbados. Chef Craig Jones – a big, white, Welsh Rastafarian – and I are picking our way around large, muddy puddles amidst a cacophony of cries and Creole sales pitches. I point quizzically to a large root vegetable, but before Jones can answer me, the stallholder is trying to tempt him: “Look at these dasheen, Ras, beautiful dasheen.” I am still puzzled so Jones – who has been cooking on St. Lucia for two decades now – explains: “Dasheen is like a dry potato, and it becomes sticky when you cook it.” All around us is the sweet smell of mangoes, laid in vast piles, all different shapes, sizes, and hues. “There are 30 to 40 different varieties of mangoes,” Jones tells me. “There’s mango Austin, which is great, but mango Julie is the sweetest and has the best texture and taste.”

Castries Market. Image credit: Meng He / Flickr Creative Commons

But the most prolific fruit in St. Lucia is the banana. Like almost everything grown on this island – it’s a similar story across almost all of the Caribbean – it was imported during colonialist slave-owning times, replacing sugar cane as the cash crop. It features in the confusingly named national dish, green fig and saltfish: green fig is really just green banana. Full of iron, it’s boiled to make it more digestible and served with saltfish (salted white fish, often cod).

It’s at roadside pitstop Red Truck that I find true St. Lucian cooking: stewed pork cooked in its own juices (no water), cloves, onion, chives, and seasonal peppers. There’s black pudding and a deep-flavored cow heel soup, thick in texture from split peas and okra – loved across the island, it often has dasheen or green fig added in.

The cooks offer me a rum punch to wash down my meal. I take a big gulp – realizing too late it’s more firewater than cocktail; it leaves me choking and laughing. My St. Lucian friend Ulrich Augustin snorts: “It is more of a sipping drink.”

Sunshine is holding two spiny lobsters in both hands and asking if I’d like one – of course I would. Freshly caught in the waters just off Nevis, a small island near the northern end of the Lesser Antilles, the lobster is grilled and served with butter and hot sauce. I must have it with his famous Killer Bee, says Sunshine (real name Llewellyn Caines: “My grandmother called me Sunshine from the day I was born, because I smiled and didn’t stop”). It’s a rum-based, spicy cocktail with some kicks so secret he’d have to “kill me” if he told me what they were. He boasts: “It’s so good, people come over from St. Kitts just to drink it.”

On the tables at Sunshine’s restaurant on Pinney’s Beach are bottles of Nevis Hot Pepper Sauce. I discover they’re made by Llewellyn Clarke, an English chef who returned to his family’s Nevis roots to cook in a hotel, and set up a sideline making what I believe to be one of the finest hot sauces in the Caribbean.

In his kitchen in Rawlins Village, known as the island’s breadbasket because of its abundance of fruit and fresh produce, the smell of sweet but punchy Scotch bonnet chilis fills the air as he boils the fiery red peppers down with vinegar, salt, sugar, thyme and garlic. “My bottles are filled with love and sunshine. I don’t do the final bottling until I think the sauce has matured enough – I am always tasting it, it is just like making wine. There’s a point in your memory where you know what something should taste like,” he explains.

The national dish of Nevis is fried fish and johnny cakes, originally derived from the word “journey”, possibly because the balls of slightly sweet, crisp-fried dough are easily portable. Often, johnny cakes will be served at breakfast with stewed saltfish, tomatoes, lettuce and hard-boiled eggs. Also beloved is goat water – more like a cross between a soup and a stew – with hints of clove, black pepper, thyme, and Scotch bonnet in the sauce, cooked low and slow until the goat is meltingly soft. After only a few mouthfuls, I need a bottle of Carib beer, because goat water, like so many things in Nevis, has a bit of a kick.

DPRK to send high-level delegatpink silicone braceletsion to ROK-hosted Winter Olympics

Lg Quantum Cell Phone - Best For Work And Play Kids in your country are attending their last couple of weeks of camp. Whether the theme included a sleep away camp full of outside activities or maybe athletic type camp where skills were learned, decreased is sure. Summer camps are loved by children several. In fact, they become their house away from your home for the weeks and months they will spend time at your kids. One other fun but practical accessory I recently purchased for my office was a cell silicone lanyard. The one I bought is clear Plexiglas and fits conveniently on my desktop. It is perfect virtually any version of iPhone, smart phone, or flip cellphone. I"ve seen other cell silicone lanyards which might be in a significant of a tiny plane bean bag chair but this small clear version does task perfectly for my wireless. It just is excellent place to hold my phone during the day while I"m in my office. This lanyard features a quick-release belt. If this buckle is placed under any sort of strain, planning instantly spring open. In case you"re concerned regarding your lanyard being caught or snagged, this lanyard will eliminate that worry. It"s going to open if another person grabs the cord. Once you meet the criteria, it is simple to get the approval for sending the SMS through your cell name. Basically with this scheme you can apply online lenders available so getting the suitable lender is extremely easy. After chatting with the recruiters for a while and registering to an e-mail newsletter account, I was given a coaster and a lanyard. This the nicest pulp coaster and custom lanyard that We ever used. When we got home, I turned that lanyard into my very own key chain invention. My car keys were to it as well as my gym membership scanning certificate. I was setting a new fashion trend in motion right in my hometown. Then it happened. Bill Cosby took a short time out on Father"s Day to pay tribute to his late son, Ennis Cosby. Throughout the broadcast posted a graphic on his Facebook page with a Father"s Day message for his freakouts. The photo shows a stylish duo, donning suits and cool lanyard. Another popular tradition that kids love is to leave a plate of cookies and milk for Santa Claus. Beside this they can put a historical key with all the poem about Santas Magic Key, for others with no chimney. Prints are fantastic ways to take a little fashion within your wardrobe. When your accessories generally up any small amount of visual space, it"s OK to study funky colors and images. Mini medallions, paisley, checks and stripes are great places to start up. Make sure your dress shirt contains a color in the print to tie it all up. The funkier and brighter your print and cool jeans for men, the fewer accessories you should wear. If you"ve got a new blue paisley tie coupled with a pale blue dress shirt and navy suit, you will not add a pocket pillow. As for those Christmas-themed ties and cheeky prints (rubber ducks, zebra stripes), leave them in the trunk of your closet or donate in order to Goodwill.

SEOUL - The Democratic People"s Republic of Korea (DPRK) will send a high-ranking delegation as well as athletes and cheering squad to participate in the ROK-hosted Winter Olympics, local media reported Tuesday.

NSA finds major security flaw in Windows 10, free fix issued

FILE – This Aug. 7, 2017, file shows a Microsoft Widows sign on display at a store in Hialeah, Fla. The National Security Agency has discovered a major security flaw in Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Microsoft says the NSA notified the company about it. A fix was made available Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz)

(AP) – The National Security Agency has discovered a major security flaw in Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system that could allow hackers to intercept seemingly secure communications.

But rather than exploit the flaw for its own intelligence needs, the NSA tipped off Microsoft so that it can fix the system for everyone.

Microsoft released a free software patch to fix the flaw Tuesday and credited the agency for discovering it. The company said it has not seen any evidence that hackers have used the technique discovered by the NSA.

Amit Yoran, CEO of security firm Tenable, said it is “exceptionally rare if not unprecedented” for the U.S. government to share its discovery of such a critical vulnerability with a company.

Yoran, who was a founding director of the Department of Homeland Security’s computer emergency readiness team, urged all organizations to prioritize patching their systems quickly.

An advisory sent by the NSA on Tuesday said “the consequences of not patching the vulnerability are severe and widespread.”

Microsoft said an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by spoofing a code-signing certificate so it looked like a file came from a trusted source.

“The user would have no way of knowing the file was malicious, because the digital signature would appear to be from a trusted provider,” the company said.

If successfully exploited, an attacker would have been able to conduct “man-in-the-middle attacks” and decrypt confidential information on user connections, the company said.

Some computers will get the fix automatically if they have the automatic update option turned on. Others can get it manually by going to Windows Update in the computer’s settings.

Microsoft typically releases security and other updates once a month and waited until Tuesday to disclose the flaw and the NSA’s involvement. Microsoft and the NSA both declined to say when the agency notified the company.

The agency shared the vulnerability with Microsoft “quickly and responsibly,” Neal Ziring, technical director of the NSA’s cybersecurity directorate, said in a blog post Tuesday.

Priscilla Moriuchi, who retired from the NSA in 2017 after running its East Asia and Pacific operations, said this is a good example of the “constructive role” that the NSA can play in improving global information security. Moriuchi, now an analyst at the U.S. cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, said it’s likely a reflection of changes made in 2017 to how the U.S. determines whether to disclose a major vulnerability or exploit it for intelligence purposes.

The revamping of what’s known as the “Vulnerability Equities Process” put more emphasis on disclosing unpatched vulnerabilities whenever possible to protect core internet systems and the U.S. economy and general public.

Those changes happened after a group calling itself “Shadow Brokers” released a trove of high-level hacking tools stolen from the NSA.

The Hydrogen One Holographic Display Tech Finally Revealed

The Hydrogen One Holographic Display Tech Finally Revealed

When RED first announced they were going to be releasing an Android smartphone, one of their selling points was the holographic display. However, that was all the information they had revealed about the display technology at that time. They didn’t go into detail about what type of technology would be used to portray this holographic image, but now that has been revealed. Along with this information, RED has announced an exclusive partnership with a startup called Leia Inc.

The upcoming Hydrogen One is certainly poised to be unique smartphone. The company is known for their amazing (yet expensive) video cameras and that experience has sparked a lot of interest from the smartphone market. They’ll be using a modular system for these external components that will feel right at home to anyone who is familiar with their video cameras. A holographic display though, that’s not something they’re known for, so many have been skeptical about this.

Now it has been revealed that RED has partnered with a new startup called Leia Inc. and this company describes itself as “the leading provider of lightfield holographic display solutions for mobile.” They were a spinoff of HP’s research labs and were founded just 3 years ago in 2014. Due to how they’re not able to show how this technology works on a regular screen, the company has opted to describe it the best way they’re able to.

Leia leverages recent breakthroughs in Nano-Photonic design and manufacturing to provide a complete lightfield “holographic” display solution for mobile devices, through proprietary hardware and software. The Silicon Valley firm commercializes LCD-based mobile screens able to synthesize lightfield holographic content while preserving the normal operation of the display.

So the general idea behind their technology is that the screen on the Hydrogen One will be able to project 3D objects that you’re able to view from different angles based on your physical position. This works through diffraction and produces a lightfield illumination with a layer of nanostructures added to a conventional LCD. Very few people have been able to see the tech in action though, so we’ll have to wait until the device is released before we know how it performs.
