April is a month known to many in the northern hemisphere as the unofficial beginning of spring, while those in the southern hemisphere consider April the beginning of autumn. But there is much more to the month of April than just changing seasons. April marks the Thai New Year in Thailand and the Khmer New Year in Cambodia. On April 6,

Americans commemorate their country's entry into World War I. April also was when the North Atlantic Treaty was signed in 1949, establishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, a group of members that pledge mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party.

Mathematicians may look forward to April because of Mathematics

Awareness Month.

Environmentalists and naturalists also enjoy April because of Earth Day and Arbor Day. These are key times when the focus is placed on renewable resources, recycling and efforts to make the planet a better place.

Snack foods That Promote Better Sleep According to the National Sleep Foundation, changes in sleep patterns are a part of the aging process. Many people experience difficulty falling asleep and then staying asleep as they age, and that difficulty can make men and women over 50 feel more tired during the day.

But even though difficulty sleeping may be a part of aging, that does not mean men and women over 50 cannot take steps to improve their sleeping patterns. For example, certain snack foods may help to improve quality of sleep, especially when these foods replace less healthy snacking options. While men and women over 50 should always consult with their physicians before making any changes to their diets, the AARP notes that the following are a handful of snack foods that promote better sleep.

Almonds: Magnesium is a mineral with muscle-relaxing properties, and almonds contain enough magnesium to help men and women get a better night's sleep. A small amount of almonds before bed might be

enough to make falling and staying asleep easier. 路 Bananas: Much like almonds, bananas provide a substantial amount of magnesium.

Bananas also contain the amino acid tryptophan, which many people associate with Thanksgiving turkey.

While tryptophan might be most often associated with the sleepiness people feel after eating a holiday meal, it also has been linked to better sleep quality, so a banana shortly before bed might be just what you need to fall and stay asleep. 路 Cheese and crackers: One more traditional snack may just help you get a better night's sleep.

Cheese and crackers contain tryptophan and carbohydrates, which can induce a better night's sleep and help you fall asleep sooner.

Cherries: Cherries contain the sleep hormone melatonin, and the AARP notes that recent studies indicated that participants who drank tart cherry juice on a daily basis fell asleep more quickly and slept longer and better than participants who did not. 路 Hummus: The primary ingredient in

hummus is chickpeas, which are loaded with tryptophan, folate and vitamin B6. Folate has proven especially beneficial to older men and women who need help regulating their sleep patterns, while vitamin B6 helps the body regulate its clock. 路 Peanut butter: Peanut butter is another snacking item loaded with tryptophan.

Spread some peanut butter on a carbohydrate, whether it's a slice of toast or some crackers, before going to bed, and you may enjoy a better, longer

sleep.

Walnuts: Like cherries, walnuts contain melatonin, which can contribute to a longer, more restful night's sleep. Walnuts also can help regulate stress, which is a leading cause of sleeping difficulty.

Many men and women experience difficulty sleeping as they age. But the right foods may just help combat such problems and help men and women get a more adequate night's sleep.

AQUAMARINE

THE ‘UNCONQUERABLE’ DIAMOND

(The Sailor’s Stone) (PX) — Aquamarine, the lovely blue-green member of the beryl family, has been used in jewelry since the third century B.C. and is one of the most fashionable gemstones today. For hundreds of years it was called “The Sailor’s Stone,” due to its sea-like colors, ranging from a pale sky blue to a deep blue-green, and was thought to protect sailors and people traveling over water.

The earliest aquamarine probably came from India, where it was highly regarded by Hindu mystics as an aid to promoting mental clarity and improving one’s public speaking.

Medieval alchemists believed aquamarine would prevent excess water retention in the body and enhance the digestive and eliminative functions. In the medieval alchemical charts of gem properties, aquamarine is shown as ruling the kidneys, bladder and urethra.

Nineteenth century Chinese carvers produced snuff bottles and delicate figurines out of larger pieces of aquamarine, because it is easy to carve and polishes beautifully.

Even today, many people who believe in the spiritual properties of gemstones wear aquamarine to give them religious and mental inspiration, provide inner calm, and enhance both verbal and written communication.

Aquamarine’s popularity helped make it a March birthstone earlier this century.

Aquamarine always has been available in small sizes, from one-half carat up to 10-carat stones. However, finds in Brazil and Africa have made aquamarine of much larger sizes more accessible for use in jewelry.

“The African material, called ‘Sancta Maria Africanus’ aqua, comes in sizes large enough to create major gem sculptures and is among the most beautiful aquamarine ever found,” says Joe Menzies, executive board member of the International Colored Stone Association. The Brazilian material ranges from pale blue-green to a deep blue with a green tint.

The African aquamarine can come in such large sizes that world-famous gem artist Bernd Munsteiner of Germany carved a 10,613-carat, foottall sculpture named “Dom Pedro

One of America’s premier jewelry designers, Henry Dunay, used a natural aquamarine to depict the River Danube in this one-of-a-kind 18-karat brooch he calls “Winter Evening In Budapest.”

Maritimas” from a 30,000-carat rough aquamarine. Munsteiner used the “leftovers” from his sculpture to create close to 100 fantasy-cut gemstones and smaller sculptures from this fiery deep blue-green material.

Aquamarine is tough, durable and takes an excellent polish, says Lynn Ramsey, president of the Jewelry Information Center. “Aquas can be worn in rings and bracelets with minimal risk if the settings are designed to protect the gems. Clear stones, called eye-clean, are free of inclusions to the naked eye and can be worn under most conditions. Avoid steam cleaning or excess heat.”

Historically, Brazilian and African aquamarines have been routinely heattreated to enhance their color. Heating gemstones is a stable treatment and an accepted industry practice, says Ramsey.

Recently, designers have begun combining aquamarines with golden citrines, emeralds or tsavorite garnets, sapphires, and pink tourmalines to provide fresh fashion color palettes.

“You don’t have to be a sailor or a March-born baby to enjoy the beauty and sparkle of aquamarine,” says Ramsey. “It’s a year-round treasure of a gem.”

April is the luckiest month of all, since diamond is its birthstone. More and more women are dressing in these brilliant, dazzling gemstones as effortlessly as they throw on their favorite sweater.

Actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Berry and super models Cindy Crawford and Stella Tennant, among others, are seen everywhere wearing their diamond solitaire neclaces.

Most diamonds are more than 100 million years old, and many are more than three billion years old, making diamonds the oldest of all gemstones. They also are the hardest substance known to man, made of carbon that is crystallized deep within the earth.

First discovered more than 3,000 years ago in India, diamonds are found today in remote parts of the world, like Australia, Russia, Botswana and South Africa. Their unique hardness and high refractive index have inspired legends. To the Greeks, they were teardrops from the gods. To the Romans, they came from the falling stars that tipped the arrow of Eros, the god of love. For Hindus, diamonds were the lightning that armed the hand of the god Indra.

Today, diamonds are more popular than ever. “To have a piece of diamond jewelry is to have the quintessential piece of jewelry,” says Melvyn Kirtley, vice president and general manager of Tiffany’s flagship store on New York’s Fifth Ave. “The rarity, beauty and quality of diamonds through history has not changed. People still desire them and desire them more than ever.”

Women now are buying diamonds for themselves, notes Lynn Ramsey, president of the Jewelry Information Center, a New York-based trade association.

“What’s new is that customers are more educated, and as more and more women gain professional ranks, they want quality stones.”

Vincent Polisano, a designer of the Diana Vincent collection of fine jewelry, says, “Over the last four years, the trend is toward women purchasing more important pieces of diamond jewelry, mostly in diamond earrings and larger stones for solitaire rings and necklaces.”

When it comes to wearing diamonds, there is no wrong way.

Diamond brooches adorn business suits.

Diamond studs are worn to the gym. This

Three-stone engagement rings are growing in popularity. ground swell of wearing diamonds every day started a few years ago when designers like John Galliano and Donna Karan popularized them on their runways. Most recently, major European designers used elaborate Belle Époque settings and Oscar de la Renta showed diamonds exclusively in his collections. A lot of upwardly mobile professional women took note. They are today’s diamond customers who want diamonds, can afford them and don’t have to wait for an engagement or 25th wedding anniversary to own them.

Nor is there one style or trend that customers want. “The news in diamonds,” says Polisano, “is just a lot of wonderful work by many different designers.” Never before have so many American designers marketed diamond jewelry under their own names.

Noteworthy are Henry Dunay, Whitney Boin, Jose Hess and Michael Bondanza.

And, at Tiffany’s, their classic six-prong setting always is popular, but the store’s Diamonds By the Yard necklaces of round diamonds set in platinum or 18karat gold typify the diamonds-for-day trend.

When purchasing diamonds, customers adhere to the four C’s — cut, color, clarity and carat weight — but increasingly they seek finer cut stones.

“Today, customers understand that it is the cutting that releases the true brilliance of a stone,” says Polisano.

With something so precious, remember to rely on a well-established jeweler with a wide selection of merchandise who is qualified to determine a diamond’s value and quality. Also, consider diamonds in pink, yellow and blue, which are gaining popularity.

Little wonder the Greeks named diamonds adamas. It means unconquerable.

Did You Know If you have psoriasis, an autoimmune skin condition marked by red, flaky patches on the body, you also could be at risk for a certain type of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis, which causes stiffness, swelling and pain in and around the joints, affects up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis, says the National Psoriasis Foundation. While psoriatic arthritis can develop

at any time, it is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 50. This type of arthritis can develop slowly or come on quickly and be severe. Just like psoriasis itself, psoriatic arthritis tends to go through periods of flare-up and remission.

Typically, the skin condition precedes the joint disease in 85 percent of patients. Keep in mind that a severe case of psoriasis will not necessarly translate into a severe case of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis may be treated like other forms of arthritis. Doctors may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, antirheumatic drugs, exercise, and complementary therapies.Those who have psoriasis and have begun to experience joint pain and stiffness should talk to a doctor about potential therapies.
