Make Yourself Unappealingto Mosquitoes Naturally

By: Tzippy Licht At-a-glance • Preventive measures to avoid getting bit by insects such as mosquitoes include: avoiding the outdoors at dawn and dusk—especially when sweaty—draining stagnant water sources, planting marigolds around your yard, installing bat boxes • The following can be used to repel bugs: Vick’s Vaporub®; cinnamon leaf oil; clear liquid vanilla extract mixed with olive oil; citronella soap and 100% pure citronella essential oil; catnip oil • Most commercial insect repellants contain a chemical known as DEET, which should be used with caution, if at all.

• Herbs and other natural agents can help soothe itchy bites, such as: aloe vera, calendula, cinnamon, chamomile, lavender, Neem oil, tea tree oil, basil, peppermint, lemon and lime, and baking soda mixed with witch hazel • Using either ice or heat are other options that can help ease the discomfort associated with bug bites. Research has shown that locally administrated heat leads to fast amelioration of symptoms

Mosquitoes “When Hashem is happy with the ways of a person even his enemies will make peace with him” (Mishlei 15:7) This includes mosquitoes and flies - Medrash Rabba Parshas Bireishis Summertime calls most of us to spend time outdoors. Alas, bugs can be a real buzz-kill at best, and carriers of disease at worst.

- Tzippy’s Tidbits - Unappealing to Mosquitoes... Avoid Mosquito Bites

found DEET to have harmful effects.

Fortunately, there are plenty of tricks to keeping biting bugs at bay, and they don’t involve applying toxic chemicals to your skin.

There are also many natural remedies that can help take the sting out of your bites, should preventive methods fail.

The Most Common Offenders...

A medical news article offers an excellent and extensive overview of a wide variety of bug bites, their signs and symptoms and potential side effects, which can range from mild to severe (allergic reactions): While one person may just have a small, itchy lump that clears away in a few days, somebody else can have more serious reactions.

Some 28 different types of bugs are identified. Some of the most common biting insects include: Mosquitoes, Certain flies , Fleas, Bedbugs, Gnats, Midges, Spiders, Ticks Fortunately, it’s fairly rare to catch diseases from most insect bites if you live in countries far away from the equator, such as northern parts of Europe, United States, and Canada. The closer you are to the equator, the risk of being bit by mosquitoes and other insects carrying diseases such as malaria, sleeping sickness, yellow fever, encephalitis, West Nile virus and dengue fever increases.

Ticks, however, can spread human babesiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Lyme disease—one of the most serious and controversial epidemics of our time— regardless of your geographical location. To avoid ticks, make sure to tuck your pants into socks and wear closed shoes and a hat—especially if venturing out into wooded areas.

Simple Preventative Measures to 20

Mosquitoes are probably the most pervasive when it comes to biting bugs that can ruin an otherwise pleasant outing. There are over 3,000 different species of mosquitoes throughout the world, about 200 of which occur in the US. Naturally, the best way to avoid mosquito bites is to prevent coming into contact with them in the first place.

You can avoid most assaults by staying inside around dawn and dusk, which is when they are most active. If you must be out during those times, wear light-colored, long sleeved shirts and long pants, hats and socks. Mosquitoes are also thicker in shrubby areas and near standing water.

Body temperature and skin chemicals like lactic acid also attract mosquitoes, which explains why you’re more likely to be “eaten alive” when you’re sweaty, such as during or after exercise, so trying to stay as cool and dry as you can may help to some degree.

You may also want to forgo bananas during mosquito season. According to a doctor, “there’s something about how your body processes the banana oil that attracts these female sugar-loving insects.”

The doctor also recommends supplementing with one vitamin B1 tablet a day from April through October, and then adding 100 mg of B1 to a B100 Complex daily during the mosquito season to make you less attractive to mosquitoes. Research also suggests that regularly consuming garlic or garlic capsules may help protect against both mosquito and tick bites. The American Mosquito Control Association has a helpful factsheet of things you can do to prevent mosquito breeding on your property. The Three D’s of protection from mosquitoes are: • Drain—Mosquitoes require water in which to breed, so carefully drain any and all sources of standing water around your house and yard, including gutters, garbage and recycling bins, spare tires,

- Tzippy’s Tidbits - Unappealing to Mosquitoes... bird baths and so on • Dress—Light colored, loose fitting clothing offer the greatest protection • Defend—While the AMCA recommends using commercial repellents, avoid chemical repellents, especially those containing DEET. Instead, try some of the natural alternatives suggested in this article Bat houses are becoming increasingly popular since bats are voracious consumers of insects, especially mosquitoes. Planting marigolds around your yard also works as a bug repellent because the flowers give off a fragrance that bugs do not like. This is a great way to ward off mosquitoes without using chemical insecticides. A simple house fan could also help keep mosquitoes at bay if you’re having a get-together in your backyard.

Steer Clear of Chemical Repellents, Especially DEET Currently, DEET (N,N-diethyl-metatoluamide) is used in more than 230 different products -- in concentrations of up to an astounding 100 percent. If a chemical melts plastic or fishing line, it’s not wise to apply it to your skin -- and that is exactly what DEET does.

A pharmacologist at Duke University, spent 30 years researching the effects of pesticides. He discovered that prolonged exposure to DEET can impair cell function in parts of your brain.

Chil-

dren are particularly at risk for subtle brain changes because their skin more readily absorbs chemicals in the environment and chemicals more potently affect their developing nervous systems. Other potential side effects DEET exposure includes: Memory loss, Headache, Muscle weakness and fatigue, Shortness of breath, Muscle and joint pain, Tremors Another potentially harmful chemical found in many bug sprays is permethrin.

This chemical is a member of the synthetic pyrethroid family, all of which are neurotoxins. The EPA has even deemed this chemical carcinogenic, capable of causing lung tumors, liver tumors, immune system problems, and chromosomal abnormalities.

Keeping Insects at Bay the Natural Way Fortunately, there are highly effective repellents on the market comprised of natural botanical oils and extracts that are every bit as effective as DEET, but with none of the potentially harmful effects. You can also make your own repellent using: • Cinnamon leaf oil (one study found it was more effective at killing mosquitoes than DEET) • Clear liquid vanilla extract mixed with olive oil • Wash with citronella soap, and then put some 100% pure citronella essential oil on your skin. Java Citronella is considered the highest quality citronella on the market • Catnip oil (according to one study, this oil is 10 times more effective than DEET) Treating Bites and Stings with Herbs and Other Natural Agents Once you’ve been bitten, the objective changes from repelling to

- Tzippy’s Tidbits - Unappealing to Mosquitoes... treating the itch and inflammation caused by the bite. Fortunately, many herbs and other natural agents are soothing to the skin, and many have anti-inflammatory properties. So for your occasional mosquito bites, try one of the following: Aloe vera – has active compounds and amino acids beneficial to your skin.

Calendula: An herb with soothing, moisturizing and rejuvenating properties.

Chamomile: The most soothing herb of all.

Cinnamon: repels mosquitoes and has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Cucumbers are helpful for reducing swelling.

Raw organic honey Lavender: it’s as antimicrobial as it is soothing.

Neem oil: Effective against fungal conditions, boils, eczema, and ringworm.

Tea Tree oil: Helpful for healing cuts, burns and other skin afflictions.

Basil contains camphor and thymol, two compounds that can relieve itching.

Lemon and lime have anti-itch, antibacterial and antimicrobial actions.

Peppermint—the cooling sensation provides temporary relief.

Swiping a cooled tea bag over your bites can also help, as the tannins in the tea acts as an astringent, reducing swelling.

For bites all over your body, try soaking in a bathtub of warm water with two to three cups of apple cider vinegar added to it.

The acidity of the vinegar can help stop the 24

maddening itch. Alternatively, dissolve some baking soda in your bath and soak for about 30 minutes. You can also mix some baking soda with a small amount of water or witch hazel to create a paste, and apply directly to the bite. The witch hazel works synergistically with the baking soda, making for a more potent mix to reduce swelling.

Hot or Cold Therapies Can Take the Sting Out of a Bug Bite Using either ice or heat are other options that can help ease the discomfort associated with bug bites. For example, a health article recommends using a simple ice pack to treat painful insect bites in lieu of analgesics.

According to another article; the best course of action for mild local reactions is to simply clean the area and apply a cold compress.

hot.

Alternatively, applying heat directly to the bite also appears to relieve itchiness.

One simple way is to jst hold the spoon under hot tap water for about a minute to heat the metal, then press it against the bite for a couple of minutes.

Naturally, make sure the spoon is not too

It shouldn’t be scalding enough to actually hurt, so please use some common sense, and make sure to test it on your own skin before applying the heated utensil to a child.

The receptors that respond to heat are the same ones that respond to cold, so you will likely achieve the same benefits with a metal spoon taken from your freezer, or

- Tzippy’s Tidbits - Unappealing to Mosquitoes... simply rubbing ice cubes on it.

To Enjoy the Outdoors, a Little Preparation and Planning Can Go a Long Way With a little planning and preparation, you should be able to enjoy the outdoors without getting eaten alive. Remember the Three D’s of protection from mosquitoes: drain, dress, and defend. Eliminating the breeding grounds for mosquitoes is the first step to limiting their numbers. Planting marigolds around your yard and maybe installing a bat box or two can also go a long way toward preventing them in the first place.

Some may work better than others for each individual, as mosquitoes in particular are attracted to certain biochemical components in your skin.

Should your preventive measures fail, there are well over a dozen different home remedies that can help, from herbs to baking soda to ice packs or heat, whether in the form of a heated or cold spoon, compress, or electronic gadget, or maybe even just a piece of tape.

Dear Editors:

We’re writing to give off steam. We don’t quite expect you to do anything concretely for us, but we’re sending you this letter nonetheless. With the Weekly Link’s massive readership, wide distribution and intellectual clientele it is the perfect medium for our heart wrenching gripe. Perhaps it will b’ezras Hashem stir up enough interest to have the mechanchim do some soul searching, or at least have the parents speak up forcefully.

I’ll now give the pen over to my husband. I am referring to a new perk of allowing Melamdim and Maggidei shiur a vacation from vacation. The difficulties and time consumption involved in preparing a boy for sleepaway camp is well known. When the truck with the packages and the bus roll off in a gute sho’oh we depart with “see you soon.” But how soon?

For those boys suffering ‘separation pangs’ they instituted visiting days.

Good enough. But what is this bizarre new tradition of sending the boys home for Shabbos Chazzon, Shabbos Nachmu or another Shabbos? To me that’s a three day [Friday, Shabbos, Sunday] hiatus. Do they deduct a percentage from the camp fee? No. do they provide transportation? No, again. What are those of us with children-blessed families ke”h to do?

It’s not the money per se, but truthfully, will it affect the boy’s negatively if they fend for themselves for eight week’s? There’re not really in a desert, I believe.

If you agree, speak up. NO! You’re not the only one complaining.

Sincerely, Reuvein & Shulamit Dear Editor:

One of the most dif ficult and trying perio ds in one’s life occurs experiencing the de when ath of an immediate family member R”l.

Compounding the ine vitable shock and sa dness is the compell obligation to arrange ing for a prompt funera l and burial according Halacha. Often the fir to st organization conta cted by the family du this traumatic time ring is the local Chevra Ka disha (burial society) .

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Unfortunately, some local Chevra Kadisha members act outside the bounds of Halacha, general decency, and the laws of New York State. It is imperative that our community be aware of this pervasive phenomenon and thus arm itself with the ability to resist falling victim to it.

Specifically, during the emotionally vulnerable period before burial of the niftar, some Chevra Kadisha representatives apply inordinate pressure upon the grieving families by insisting that they utilize the services of a particular favored funeral home. They sometimes claim to have a “contract” with that funeral home and may even threaten to not bury the deceased --- although the burial plot is legally owned by the family (and often was purcha sed from that same Chevra Kadisha) --- unless the family agrees to patronize their “recommended” funeral home. (In one case I‘m familiar with, a member of a certain Chevra Kadisha is simultaneously employed at one of the local funeral homes.)

Moreover, some “volunteers” of a certain Bikur Cholim engage in steering unsuspecting grieving family members to a particular funeral home. It has also occurred in Boro Park that a certain Chevra Kadisha insisted that a niftar be physically transported from one funeral home to another, an especially appalling violation of Halacha and Bizayon HaMes. The deplorable behavior and unholy alliances I describe not only stifle competition; they also add potentially millions of dollars in funeral costs to members of the Boro Park, Williamsburg and Flatbush communities, many of whom can ill afford the inflated expenses. And besides denying grieving families their rightful free choice, the practice is transparently illegal.

Article 32, Section 3208 (d) of the New York State Insurance Law states: “No person, firm, association, society, or corporation engaged in this state in the business of providing for the payme nt of funeral, burial or other expenses of deceased members, whether or not it be subject to other provisions of this chapter,

Visiting the world in

80 days

24

© Adapted by: Sheila Yosefsohn During the first days of the journey Aoud became better acquainted with his protector, and constantly gave evidence of his deep gratitude for what he had done. The phlegmatic gentleman listened to him, apparently at least, with coldness, neither his voice nor his manner betraying the slightest emotion; but he seemed to be always on the watch that nothing should be wanting to Aoud’s comfort. He visited him regularly each day at certain hours, not so much to talk himself, as to sit and hear his tales. He treated him with the strictest politeness, but with the precision of an automaton, the movements of which had been arranged for this purpose. Aoud did not quite know what to make of him, though Passepartout had given him some hints of his master’s eccentricity, and made him smile by telling him of the wager which was sending him round the world. After all, he owed Phileas Fogg his life, and he always regarded him through the exalting medium of his gratitude.

confirmed

the

Parsee

guide’s narrative of his hair-raising history. He did, indeed, belong to the highest of the native races of India.

Many of the Parsee merchants have made great fortunes there by dealing in cotton; and one of them, Sir Jametsee Jeejeebhoy, was made a baronet by the English government.

Aoud was a relative of this great man, and it was his cousin, Jeejeeh, whom he hoped to join at Hong Kong.

Whether he would find a protector in him he could not tell; but Mr. Fogg essayed to calm his anxieties, and to assure him that everything would be mathematically—he used the very word—arranged. Aoud fastened his great eyes, “clear as the sacred lakes of the Himalaya,” upon him; but the intractable Fogg, a s reserved as ever, did not seem at all inclined to throw himself into this lake.

Visiting The World in 80 Days The first few days of the voyage passed prosperously, amid favorable weather and propitious winds, and they soon came in sight of the great Andaman, the principal of the islands in the Bay of Bengal, with its picturesque Saddle Peak, two thousand four hundred feet high, looming above the waters.

The steamer passed along near the shores, but the savage Papuans, who are in the lowest scale of humanity, but are not, as has been asserted, cannibals, did not make their appearance.

The panorama of the islands, as they steamed by them, was superb.

Vast forests of palms, arecs, bamboo, teakwood, of the gigantic mimosa, and tree-like ferns covered the foreground, while behind, the graceful outlines of the mountains were traced against the sky; and along the coasts swarmed by thousands the precious swallows whose nests furnish a luxurious dish to the tables of the Celestial Empire. The varied landscape afforded by the Andaman Islands was soon passed, however, and the Rangoon rapidly approached the Straits of Malacca, which gave access to the China seas.

What was detective Fix, so unluckily drawn on from country to country, doing all this while? He had managed to embark on the Rangoon at Calcutta without being seen by Passepartout, after leaving orders that, if the warrant should arrive, it should be forwarded to him at Hong Kong; and he hoped to conceal his presence to the end of the voyage. It would have been difficult to explain why he was on board without awakening Passepartout’s suspicions, who thought him still at Bombay. But ne44

cessity impelled him, nevertheless, to renew his acquaintance with the worthy servant, as will be seen.

All the detective’s hopes and wishes were now centered on Hong Kong; for the steamer’s stay at Singapore would be too brief to enable him to take any steps there. The arrest must be made at Hong Kong, or the robber would probably escape him forever. Hong Kong was the last English ground on which he would set foot; beyond, China, Japan, America offered to Fogg an almost certain refuge. If the warrant should at last make its appearance at Hong Kong, Fix could arrest him and give him into the hands of the local police, and there would be no further trouble.

But beyond Hong Kong, a simple warrant would be of no avail; an extradition warrant would be necessary, and that would result in delays and obstacles, of which the rascal would take advantage to elude justice.

Fix thought over these probabilities during the long hours which he spent in his cabin, and kept repeating to himself, “Now, either the warrant will be at Hong Kong, in which case I shall arrest my man, or it will not be there; and this time it is absolutely necessary that I should delay his departure. I have failed at Bombay, and I have failed at Calcutta; if I fail at Hong Kong, my reputation is lost: Cost what it may, I must succeed! But how shall I prevent his departure, if that should turn out to be my last resource?”

Fix made up his mind that, if worst came to worst, he would make a confidant o f Passepartout, and tell him what kind of a fellow his master re-

Visiting The World in 80 Days ally was. That Passepartout was not Fogg’s accomplice, he was very certain. The servant, enlightened by his disclosure, and afraid of being himself implicated in the crime, would doubtless become an ally of the detective. But this method was a dangerous one, only to be employed when everything else had failed. A word from Passepartout to his master would ruin all. The detective was therefore in a sore strait.

But suddenly a new idea struck him.

The presence of Aoud on the Rangoon, in company with Phileas Fogg, gave him new material for reflection.

Who was this young man? What combination of events had made his Fogg’s travelling companion?

They had evidently met somewhere between Bombay and Calcutta; but where? Had they met accidentally, or had Fogg gone into the interior purposely in quest of this charming youngster? Fix was fairly puzzled.

He asked himself whether there had not been a wicked ensnarement; and this idea so impressed itself upon his mind that he determined to make use of the supposed intrigue. Whether the young man was married or not, he would be able to create such difficulties for Mr. Fogg at Hong Kong that he could not escape by paying any amount of money.

stopped at Singapore, whence there is a telegraphic wire to Hong Kong.

He finally resolved, moreover, before acting more positively, to question Passepartout. It would not be difficult to make him talk; and, as there was no time to lose, Fix prepared to make himself known.

It was now the 30th of October, and on the following day the Rangoon was due at Singapore.

Fix emerged from his cabin and went on deck. Passepartout was promenading up and down in the forward part of the steamer. The detective rushed forward with every appearance of extreme surprise, and exclaimed, “You here, on the Rangoon?”

“What, Monsieur Fix, are you on board?” returned the really astonished Passepartout, recognizing his crony of the Mongolia. “Why, I left you at Bombay, and here you are, on the way to Hong Kong! Are you going round the world too?” L To be continued be”H

But could he even wait till they reached Hong Kong? Fogg had an abominable way of jumping from one boat to another, and, before anything could be effected, might get full under way again for Yokohama.

Fix decided that he must warn the English authorities, and signal the Rangoon before her arrival. This was easy to do, since the steamer 46

The Minister of Construction toured the project for the Orthodox population in Givat Ze'ev and promised to harness his office in the neighborhood's development The Minister of Construction and Housing, Uri Ariel toured the project for the Orthodox population in the new neighborhood in Givat Zeev accompanied with the neighborhood Rabbis and entrepreneurs * The Minister expressed his admiration from the neighborhood's quality and promised to harness his office in the neighborhood's development * Minister Uri Ariel: "This is the appropriate solution for the Haredi public and I will personally assist to help solving the problems that were presented to me" Last week, The Minister of Construction and Housing, Uri Ariel took a comprehensive tour of the new and upcoming neighborhood in Givat Ze'ev located northward of Jerusalem. The tour was attended by senior members of the Ministry of Construction and Givat Ze'ev neighborhood's entrepreneurs.

The Minister of Housing interested in the neighborhood and his residents and expressed his impression from the new and advanced progress, and promised to immediately improve the appearance of the neighborhood by allotting developments budgets, and launching thousand housing units to the market immediately. The Minister of Housing Uri Ariel said that he worked hard to solve the shortage of existing housing problem in the Haredi community, and sees the new neighborhood in Givat Ze'ev an important element in solving the problem, with building reserves of hundreds of additional housing units and with an approved master plan beyond the hundreds of existing housing units.

In addition, the minister toured in Ramat Givat Ze'ev neighborhood, a neighborhood designed especially for the Anglo- Saxon community which recently received the Minister approval to build 400 housing units. The Minister expressed his admiration from building Israel's first dedicated neighborhood to the American community, and includes all the necessary communal institutions for the immigrant population.

The tour was attended by neighborhood's Rabbis Dayan Rabbi Jacob Farbstein and Rabbi Joseph Goldstein, Mr. Yakkov Rubin one of the project's entrepreneur and Rabbi Eliyahu Paly CEO of 'Mishpacha' who closely accompanied the new residents in the new neighborhood in Givat Ze'ev.

Nofei Israel's entrepreneurs who leads the tour, praised the Minister Uri Ariel on his assertiveness for helping the shortage housing existing, and that immediately upon the election came to visit the neighborhood, in order to meet the needs and help in any way.

The Minister Uri Ariel: "The Haredi public deals with the shortage in housing as well as the rest.

Due to the sector's special needs, the often suffers from it even more than the rest of public.

The new neighborhood in Givat Ze'ev is a proper and qualitative solution and I will endeavor to help as much as possible to solve the problems presented to me."

New from rom

Over three decades of Torah Literacy

When the Vilna Gaon first read Mesillas Yesharim, he said, “If the author were alive, I would have gone on foot through Europe to meet him.”

The Maggid of Kozhnitz said, “Whatever levels I have achieved in life are due to Mesillas Yesharim.”

NEW! The Chofetz Chaim kept it on his study table.

Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzensky carried it in his tallis bag.

It is the sefer Klal Yisrael has studied, and loved, for centuries — now available in a breathtaking format that brings every word to life.

4The phrase-by-phrase translation, in the format of the Schottenstein Talmud, shows us the richness of Ramchal’s writing.

4Extensive explanatory notes, based on dozens of commentaries as well as Torah and mussar classics, give us a deeper understanding of this classic work.

4The unique Insights section brings the words of Mesillas Yesharim into our lives, taking us on a wondrous journey to self-discovery.

Fiji

By: Hadassah Steinfeld

Fiji, officially the Republic of Fiji, is an island country in Melanesia (part of Oceania, a region in the South Pacific Ocean), about 1,100 nautical miles northeast of New Zealand’s North Island. Its closest neighbors are Vanuatu to the west, France’s New Caledonia to the southwest, New Zealand’s Kermadec to the southeast, Tonga to the east, the Samoas, France’s Wallis and Futuna to the northeast and Tuvalu to the north.

The country comprises an archipelago of more than 332 islands, of which 110 are permanently inhabited, and more than 500 islets (tiny islands), amounting to a total land area of circa 7,100 square miles. The furthest island is Onu-i-Lau. The two major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, account for 87% of the population of more than 850,000. The former contains Suva, the capital and largest city. Most Fijians, i.e. three-quarters, live on Viti Levu’s coasts, either in Suva or in smaller urban centers like Nadi (tourism) or Lautoka (sugar cane industry). Viti Levu’s interior is sparsely inhabited due to its terrain.

occurred in 1987 over concerns that the government was being dominated by the Indian community. A civilian coup occurred in May 2000, followed by the democratic election of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, who was reelected in May 2006. But Quarese was forced out in December 2006 in a military coup led

by Commodore Voreqe Baininarama, who subsequently become interim prime minister.

However, Bainimarama has refused to hold democratic elections.

Bounty Island, Mamanuca archipelago.

Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau was a Fijian chief and warlord from the island of Bau, off the eastern coast of Viti Levu, who united part of Fiji’s warring tribes under his leadership.

He then proclaimed himself King of Fiji and then Protector after the cession of Fiji to the United Kingdom. The British subjugated the islands as a colony in 1874, and the British brought over Indian laborers to work on the sugar plantations since the then first governor of Fiji, Arthur Charles Hamilton-Gordon, adopted a policy disallowing the use of native labor and no interference in their culture and way of life. In 1875–76, an epidemic of measles killed over 40,000 Fijians, about one-third of the Fijian population. The population in 1942 was approximately 210,000 of whom 94,000 were Indians, 102,000 native Fijians, 2,000 Chinese and 5,000 Europeans.

The British granted Fiji independence in 1970. Fiji’s democratic rule has been tested several times over the past four decades by military and civilian coups.

Politics

Politics of Fiji normally takes place in the framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Prime Minister of Fiji is the head of government, the President the head of state, and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Parliament of Fiji. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.

Since independence there have been four coups in Fiji, two in 1987, one in 2000 and one in late 2006. The military has been either ruling directly, or heavily influencing governments since 1987.

Citing corruption in the government, Commodore Josaia Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama, Commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, staged a military takeover on December 52006 against the prime minister that he himself had installed after the 2000 coup. There had been two military coups in 1987 and one in 2000. The commodore took over the powers of the presidency and dissolved the parliament, paving the way for the

Touring & Exploring - Fiji military to continue the takeover. The coup was the culmination of weeks of speculation following conflict between the elected prime minister, Laisenia Qarase, and Commodore Bainimarama. Bainimarama had repeatedly issued demands and deadlines to the prime minister. At particular issue was previously pending legislation to pardon those involved in the 2000 coup. Bainimarama named Jona Senilagakali caretaker prime minister. The next week Bainimarama said

caretaker Prime Minister ...to direct the issuance of writs for an election.”

On April 10, 2009, President Iloilo suspended the Constitution of Fiji, dismissed the Court of Appeal and, in his own words, “appoint[ed] [him]self as the Head of the State of Fiji under a new legal order”. As President, Iloilo had been Head of State prior to his abrogation of the Constitution, but that position had been determined by the Constitution itself.

The “new legal order” did not depend on the Constitution, thus requiring a “reappointment” of the head of State. “You will agree with me that this is the best way forward for our beloved Fiji”, he said. Bainimarama was re-appointed as Interim Prime Minister; he, in turn, re-instated his previous cabinet.

On May 2, 2009, Fiji became the first nation ever to have been suspended from participation in the Pacific Islands Forum, for its failure to hold democratic elections by the date promised. Nevertheless, it remains a member of the Forum.

he would ask the Great Council of Chiefs to restore executive powers to president, Ratu Josefa Iloilo.

On January 4, 2007, the military announced that it was restoring executive power to president Iloilo, who made a broadcast endorsing the actions of the military. The next day, Iloilo named Bainimarama as the interim prime minister, indicating that the military was still effectively in control. In the wake of the takeover, reports emerged of alleged intimidation of some of those critical of the interim regime.

On April 9, 2009, the Court of Appeal overturned the High Court decision that Cmdr.

Bainimarama’s takeover of Qarase’s government was lawful and declared the interim government to be illegal. Bainimarama agreed to step down as interim PM immediately, along with his government, and president Iloilo was to appoint “a distinguished person independent of the parties to this litigation as 86

On September 1, 2009, Fiji was suspended from the Commonwealth of Nations. The action was taken because Cmdr. Bainimarama failed to hold elections by 2010 as the Commonwealth of Nations had demanded after the 2006 coup. Cmdr. Bainimarama stated a need for more time to end a voting system that heavily favored ethnic Fijians at the expense of the multi-ethnic minorities. Critics, however, claimed that he had suspended the constitution and was responsible for human rights violations by arresting and detaining opponents.

In his 2010 New Year’s address, Cmdr. Bainimarama announced the lifting of the Public Emergency Regulations (PER). The PER had been put in place since April 2009, when the former constitution was abrogated. The former had allowed restrictions on some public gatherings and speech, censorship of news media reports and gave security forces added powers. He had also announced the nationwide consultation process leading to the new Constitution under which the 2014 elections will be held.

Touring & Exploring - Fiji People

Relationships between ethnic Fijians and Indo-Fijians at a political level have often been strained, and the tension between the two communities has dominated politics in the islands for the past generation. The level of political tension varies between different regions of the country.

Within Fiji, the term Fijian refers solely to indigenous (native) Fijians: it denotes an ethnicity, not a nationality. Constitutionally, citizens of Fiji are referred to as “Fiji Islanders” though the term Fiji Nationals is used for official purposes. In August 2008, shortly before the proposed People’s Charter for Change, Peace and Progress was due to be released to the public, it was announced that it recommended a change in the name of Fiji’s citizens. If the proposal were adopted, all citizens of Fiji, whatever their ethnicity, would be called “Fijians”. The proposal would change the English name of indigenous Fijians from “Fijians” to itaukei, the Fijian word for indigenous Fijians.

Deposed Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase reacted by stating that the name “Fijian” belonged exclusively to indigenous Fijians, and that he would oppose any change in legislation enabling non-indigenous Fijians to use it. In an address to the nation during the constitutional crisis of April 2009, military leader and interim Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, who has been at the forefront of the attempt to change the definition of “Fijian”, stated: “I know we all have our different ethnicities, our different cultures and we should, we must, celebrate our diversity and richness. However, at the same time we are all Fijians. We are all equal citizens. We must all be loyal to Fiji; we must be patriotic; we must put Fiji first.”

In May 2010, Attorney-General Aiyaz Saiyed Khaiyum reiterated that the term “Fijian” should apply to all Fiji nationals, but the statement was again met with protest. A spokesperson for the Viti Landowners and Resource Owners Association claimed that even fourth-generation descendants of migrants did not fully understand “what it takes to be a Fijian”, and added that the term refers to a legal standing, since legislation affords specific rights to “Fijians” (meaning, in legislation, indigenous Fijians). Fiji academic Brij Lal, a prominent critic of the Bainimarama government, said he “would not be surprised” if the new definition of the word “Fijian” 88

were included in the government’s projected new Constitution, and that he personally saw “no reason the term Fijian should not apply to everyone from Fiji”.

Geography & Climate

Coconut palms line the beaches of Fiji

Fiji covers a total area of some 194,000 square 75,000 square miles of which around 10% is land. Fiji is the hub of the South West Pacific, midway between Vanuatu and Tonga.

The archipelago is located between 176° 53′ east and 178° 12′ west. The 180° meridian runs through Taveuni but the International Date Line is bent to give uniform time to the entire Fiji group.

Fiji consists of 322 islands (of which 106 are inhabited) and 522 smaller islets. The two most important islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, which account for approximately three-quarters of the total land area of the country. The islands are mountainous, with peaks up to 1,324 metres (4,341 ft), and covered with thick tropical forests. The highest point is Mount Tomanivi on Viti Levu.

Viti Levu hosts the capital city of Suva, and is home to nearly three quarters of the population. Other important towns include Nadi (the location of the international airport), and Lautoka, Fiji’s second city with large sugar cane mills and a seaport. Rotuma, some 270 nautical miles north of the archipelago, has a special administrative status in Fiji, which nearest neighbor is Tonga in the east.

The climate in Fiji is tropical marine and warm most of the year round with minimal extremes. The warm season is from November to April and the cooler season lasts from May to October. Temperature in the cool season still averages 72 °F. Rainfall is variable, the warmer season experi-

pull out of the Pacific Islands Forum in Niue, where Bainimarama would have met with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark.

Economy

Fiji, endowed with forest, mineral, and fish resources, is one of the more developed of the Pacific island economies, though still with a large subsistence sector. Natural resources include timber, fish, gold, copper, offshore oil and hydropower. Fiji experienced a period of rapid growth in the 1960s and 1970s but stagnated in the 1980s. The coup of 1987 caused further contraction.

Economic liberalization in the years following the coup created a boom in the garment industry and a steady growth rate. The expiration of leases for sugar cane farmers (along with reduced farm and factory efficiency) has led to a decline in sugar production despite a subsidized price. Subsidies for sugar have been provided by the EU and Fiji has been the second largest beneficiary after Mauritius.

Huts in the village of Navala in the Nausori Highlands

Urbanization and expansion in the service sector have contributed to recent GDP growth. Sugar exports and a rapidly growing tourist industry — with 430,800 tourists in 2003 and increasing in the subsequent years — are the major sources of foreign exchange.

Sugar processing makes up one-third of industrial activity.

Fiji is highly dependent on tourism for revenue. The tourism sector recovered quickly after the coup, however, with visitor arrivals reaching pre-coup levels again during 2002, which has since resulted in a modest economic recovery.

However, there has been a housing boom from declining commercial mortgage rates.

The tallest building in Fiji is the fourteenstory Reserve Bank of Fiji Building in Suva, which was inaugurated in 1984. The Suva Central Commercial Centre, which opened in November 2005, was planned to outrank the Reserve Bank building at seventeen stories, but last-minute design changes made sure that the Reserve Bank building remains the tallest.

Trade and investment with Fiji has been criticized due to the country’s military dictatorship. In 2008, Fiji’s interim Prime Minister and coup leader Frank Bainimarama announced election delays and that it would 90

Fiji has a significant amount of tourism with the popular regions being Nadi, the Coral Coast, Denarau Island, and Mamanuca Islands. The biggest sources of international visitors by country are Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Fiji has a significant amount of soft coral reefs, and scuba diving is a common tourist activity.

Fiji’s attraction is primarily because of its white sandy beaches and postcard perfect islands with all year round tropical weather.

In general Fiji is a mid-range priced holiday/ vacation destination with most of the accommodation in this range. It also has a variety of world class 5-star resorts and hotels. More budget resorts are being opened in remote areas, which will provide more

Jews in Fiji

The first Jew to settle in Fiji was the then20-year-old Henry Mark, in the year 1881. A native Australian, Mark established a large commercial enterprise throughout the region. As time went by, Jews from the Middle East, India, and other Asian countries came to join Mark in Fiji. There is evidence of the 1800’s Jewish settlers located in the three Fiji cemeteries in the form of Jewish inscriptions on the tombstones. These cemeteries are located in Ovalau Island (Levuka), Momi (a private cemetery), and Suva (the old cemetery).

Nearly all of the sixty people of Jewish descent living in the Fiji Islands reside in the capital city of Suva. Until the recent establishment of the Fiji Jewish Association there was little organized activity among the Jewish population. There remains limited religious life among these Jews; however, the Israeli Embassy does hold an annual Passover Seder, which accommodates 50 to 60 people.

• About 57 percent of Fiji’s population is native Melanesian or Melanesia/Polynesian mix, while 37 percent is descended from indentured Indians brought to the islands in the late 19th century by the British to work the sugar cane plantations.

• Fiji’s total land mass is slightly smaller than the state of New Jersey.

• Fiji is home to over 4,000 square miles of coral reef, including the Great Astrolabe Reef.

• Fiji’s waters are home to over 1,500 species of sea life.

• Fiji has 28 airports, but only four of them have paved runways.

• In 1789, after being set adrift from Tahiti by the mutineers on his HMS Bounty, Captain William Bligh and 18 other men were chased by Fijian war canoes through what is now called Bligh Water. They paddled their 22-foot-long open boat hard and escaped, making it to Timor.

• Fijians are very friendly and hospitable people. There was a time in the past, though, when Fijians actually practiced cannibalism (people-eating) as part of a war tradition.

• The Queen of England has the title of Paramount Chief of the Great Council of Chiefs of Fiji. Her image is included in colorful banknotes and coins in the country.

• Of Fiji’s thousands of islands, only 322 are big enough to be lived on by humans.

• Inter-island ferries provide services between Fiji’s principal islands and large vessels operate roll-on-roll-off services, transporting vehicles and large amounts of cargo between the main island of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, and other smaller islands.

• If you intend to visit the local villages in Fiji, you should remember that only the chiefs of these villages are allowed to wear hats and sunglasses.

• Fiji is located right on the International Date Line. In Taveuni, there is a spot where you can technically stand with one foot in the current date and your other foot in the previous date. (Practically, however, the dateline was “bent” to allow the entire country to be in the same day.) L

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

Y

ou can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without a single symptom. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases the risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.

Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in the arteries. The more blood the heart pumps and the narrower the arteries, the higher the blood pressure.

High blood pressure typically develops over many years, and it affects nearly everyone eventually. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. And once you know you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it.

Symptoms Most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms, even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels.

L

Although a few people with early-stage high blood pressure may have dull headaches, dizzy spells or a few more nosebleeds than normal, these signs and symptoms typically don’t occur until high blood pressure has reached an advanced — even life-threatening — stage.

When to see a doctor Unless you have symptoms of extremely high blood pressure, there’s probably no need to make a special trip to the doctor to have your blood pressure checked. You’ll likely have your blood pressure taken as part of a routine doctor’s appointment.

Ask your doctor for a blood pressure reading at least every two years starting at age 20. He or she will likely recommend more frequent readings if you’ve already been diagnosed with high blood pressure, prehypertension or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Children age 3 and older will usually have their blood

From The Doctor’s Desk - High Blood Pressure pressure measured as a part of their yearly checkups.

If you don’t regularly see your doctor, but are concerned about your blood pressure, you may be able to get a free blood pressure screening at a health resource fair or other locations in your community. You can also find machines in drugstores that will measure your blood pressure for free, but these machines aren’t often calibrated and can give you inaccurate results.

Risk factors • Being overweight or obese. The more you weigh the more blood you need to supply oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. As the volume of blood circulated through your blood vessels increases, so does the pressure on your artery walls.

• Not being physically active.

People who are inactive tend to have higher heart rates. The higher your heart rate, the harder your heart must work with each contraction — and the stronger the force on your arteries.

Lack of physical activity also increases the risk of being overweight.

• Using tobacco. Not only does smoking tobacco immediately raise your blood pressure temporarily, but the chemicals in tobacco can damage the lining of your artery walls. This can cause your arteries to narrow, increasing your blood pressure.

• Too much salt (sodium) in your diet.

Too much sodium in your diet can cause your body to retain fluid, which increases blood pressure.

100

• Too little potassium in your diet. Potassium helps balance the amount of sodium in your cells. If you don’t consume or retain enough potassium, you may accumulate too much sodium in your blood.

• Too little vitamin D in your diet. It’s uncertain if having too little vitamin D in your diet can lead to high blood pressure. Researchers think vitamin D may affect an enzyme produced by your kidneys that affects your blood pressure. More studies are necessary to determine vitamin D’s role in blood pressure.

• Drinking too much alcohol. Over time, heavy drinking can damage the heart.

Having more than two or three drinks in a sitting can also temporarily raise your blood pressure, as it may cause your body to release hormones that increase your blood flow and heart rate.

•Stress. High levels of stress can lead to a temporary, but dramatic, increase in blood pressure.

If you try to relax by eating more, using tobacco or drinking alcohol, you may only increase problems with high blood pressure.

• Certain chronic conditions. Certain chronic conditions also may increase your risk of high blood pressure, including high cholesterol, diabetes, kidney disease and sleep apnea.

Although high blood pressure is most common in adults, children may be at risk, too. For some children, high blood pressure is caused by problems with the kidneys or heart. But for a growing number of kids, poor lifestyle habits — such as an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise — contribute to high blood pressure.

From The Doctor’s Desk - High Blood Pressure The excessive pressure on your artery walls caused by high blood pressure can damage your blood vessels, as well as organs in your body. The higher the blood pressure and the longer it goes uncontrolled, the greater the damage.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to: • Damage to arteries. This can result in hardening and thickening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to a heart attack, stroke or other complications.

• Aneurysm. Increased blood pressure can cause your blood vessels to weaken and bulge, forming an aneurysm. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can be life-threatening.

• Heart failure. To pump blood against the higher pressure in your vessels, your heart muscle thickens. Eventually, the thickened muscle may have a hard time pumping enough blood to meet the body’s needs, which can lead to heart failure.

• A blocked or ruptured blood vessel in your brain. High blood pressure in the arteries leading to your brain can either slow the blood flow to the brain or cause a blood vessel in the brain to burst, causing a stroke.

• Weakened and narrowed blood vessels in your kidneys. This can prevent these organs from functioning normally.

• Thickened, narrowed or torn blood vessels in the eyes. This can result in vision loss.

• Metabolic syndrome. This syndrome is a cluster of disorders of the body’s metabolism — including increased waist circumference, high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good,” cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high insulin levels.

If you have high blood pressure, you’re more likely to have other components of metabolic syndrome. The more components you have,

102

W

E

K

L

the greater your risk of developing diabetes, heart disease or stroke.

• Trouble with memory or understanding. Uncontrolled high blood pressure also may affect your ability to think, remember and learn. Trouble with memory or understanding concepts is more common in people who have high blood pressure.

Tests and diagnosis Blood pressure is measured with an inflatable arm cuff and a pressure-measuring gauge. A blood pressure reading, given in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), has two numbers. The first, or upper, number measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats (systolic pressure). The second, or lower, number measures the pressure in your arteries between beats (diastolic pressure).

The latest blood pressure guidelines, issued in 2003 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, divide blood pressure measurements into four general categories: • Normal blood pressure. Your blood pressure is normal if it’s below 120/80 mm Hg. However, some doctors recommend 115/75 mm Hg as a better goal. Once blood pressure rises above 115/75 mm Hg, the risk of cardiovascular disease begins to increase.

• Prehypertension. Prehypertension is a systolic pressure ranging from 120 to 139 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure ranging from 80 to 89 mm Hg. Prehypertension tends to get worse over time. Within four years of being diagnosed with prehypertension, nearly one-third of adults ages 35 to 64 and nearly half the adults age 65 or older develop high blood pressure.

• Stage 1 hypertension. Stage 1 hypertension is a systolic pressure ranging from 140 to 159 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure ranging from 90 to 99 mm Hg. • Stage 2 hypertension. The

From The Doctors Desk - High Blood Pressure most severe hypertension, stage 2 hypertension is a systolic pressure of 160 mm Hg or higher or a diastolic pressure of 100 mm Hg or higher.

Both numbers in a blood pressure reading are important. But after age 50, the systolic reading is even more significant. Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) — when diastolic pressure is normal but systolic pressure is high — is the most common type of high blood pressure among people older than 50.

Your doctor will likely take two to three blood pressure readings each at two or more separate appointments before diagnosing you with high blood pressure. This is because blood pressure normally varies throughout the day — and sometimes specifically during visits to the doctor, a condition called white-coat hypertension. Your doctor may ask you to record your blood pressure at home and at work to provide additional information.

Measuring your blood pressure at home can also help diagnose masked hypertension, a condition in which your blood pressure is lower than it normally is when you visit the doctor’s office.

If you have any type of high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend routine tests, such as a urine test (urinalysis), blood tests and an electrocardiogram (ECG) — a test that measures your heart’s electrical activity.

More extensive testing isn’t usually needed, at least initially.

Treatments and drugs The major types of medication used to control high blood pressure include: • Thiazide diuretics. Diuretics, sometimes called “water pills,” are medications

104

K

L

that act on your kidneys to help your body eliminate sodium and water, reducing blood volume. Thiazide diuretics are often the first — but not the only — choice in high blood pressure medications. Still, diuretics are often not prescribed. If you’re not taking a diuretic and your blood pressure remains high, talk to your doctor about adding one or replacing a drug you currently take with a diuretic.

If you’re age 80 or older, a special type of thiazide diuretic, indapamide (Lozol), may be particularly effective in lowering your blood pressure. In this age group, indapamide has been shown to reduce deaths from stroke, heart failure and other cardiovascular disease causes.

• Beta blockers. These medications reduce the workload on your heart and open your blood vessels, causing your heart to beat slower and with less force.

• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. These medications help relax blood vessels by blocking the formation of a natural chemical that narrows blood vessels. ACE inhibitors may be especially important in treating high blood pressure in people with coronary artery disease, heart failure or kidney failure.

• Angiotensin II receptor blockers.

These medications help relax blood vessels by blocking the action — not the formation — of a natural chemical that narrows blood vessels.

Like ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers often are useful for people with coronary artery disease, heart failure and kidney failure.

• Calcium channel blockers. These medications help relax the muscles of your blood vessels. Some slow your

From The Doctors Desk - High Blood Pressure heart rate. Calcium channel blockers may work better for blacks than do ACE inhibitors or beta blockers alone. A word of caution for grapefruit lovers, though.

Grapefruit juice interacts with some calcium channel blockers, increasing blood levels of the medication and putting you at higher risk of side effects. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you’re concerned about interactions.

• Renin inhibitors. Aliskiren (Tekturna) slows down the production of renin, an enzyme produced by your kidneys that starts a cascade of chemical steps that increases blood pressure. Tekturna works by reducing the ability of renin to begin this process. The drug is still being studied to figure out its ideal use and dosage for people with high blood pressure.

If you’re having trouble reaching your blood pressure goal with combinations of the above medications, your doctor may prescribe: • Alpha blockers. These medications reduce nerve impulses to blood vessels, reducing the effects of natural chemicals that narrow blood vessels.

• Alpha-beta blockers. In addition to reducing nerve impulses to blood vessels, alpha-beta blockers slow the heartbeat to reduce the amount of blood that must be pumped through the vessels.

• Central-acting agents. These medications prevent your brain from signaling your nervous system to increase your heart rate and narrow the blood vessels.

• Vasodilators. These medications work directly on the muscles in the walls of your arteries, preventing the muscles from tightening and the arteries from narrowing.

Once your blood pressure is under control, your doctor may have you take a daily aspirin to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disorders.

Lifestyle and home remedies Lifestyle changes can help you control and prevent high blood pressure — even if you’re taking blood pressure medication.

Here’s what you can do: • Eat healthy foods. Try the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy foods. Get plenty of potassium, which can help prevent and control high blood pressure. Eat less saturated fat and total fat.

• Decrease the salt in your diet.

Although 2,400 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day is the current limit for otherwise healthy adults, limiting sodium intake to 1,500 mg a day will have a more dramatic effect on your blood pressure. While you can reduce the amount of salt you eat by putting down the saltshaker, you should also pay attention to the amount of salt that’s in the processed foods you eat, such as canned soups or frozen dinners.

• Maintain a healthy weight. If you’re overweight, losing even 5 pounds (2.3 kilograms) can lower your blood pressure.

• Increase physical activity. Regular physical activity can help lower your blood pressure and keep your weight under control.

Strive for at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day.

• Limit alcohol. Even if you’re healthy, alcohol can raise your blood pressure. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation — up to one drink a day for women and everyone over age 65, and two drinks a day for men.

• Don’t smoke. Tobacco injures blood vessel walls and speeds up the process of hardening of the arteries. If you smoke, ask your doctor to help you quit.

• Manage stress. Reduce stress

From The Doctors Desk - High Blood Pressure as much as possible. Practice healthy coping techniques, such as muscle relaxation and deep breathing. Getting plenty of sleep can help, too.

• Monitor your blood pressure at home. Home blood pressure monitoring can help you keep closer tabs on your blood pressure, show if medication is working, and even alert you and your doctor to potential complications. If your blood pressure is under control, you may be able to make fewer visits to your doctor if you monitor your blood pressure at home.

• Practice relaxation or slow, deep breathing. Do it on your own or try device-guided paced breathing. In some clinical trials, regular use of Resperate — an over-the-counter device approved by the Food and Drug Administration to analyze breathing patterns and help guide inhalation and exhalation — lowered blood pressure.

However, some researchers question whether the devices themselves or simply taking 15 minutes to relax are responsible for lowering blood pressure.

Alternative medicine Although diet and exercise are the best tactics to lower your blood pressure, some supplements also may help decrease it. These include: • Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) • Blond psyllium

• Cocoa • Cod-liver oil • Coenzyme Q-10 • Omega-3 fatty acids

You can also practice relaxation techniques, such as yoga or deep breathing to help you relax and reduce your stress level. These practices can temporarily reduce your blood pressure.

Coping and support High blood pressure isn’t a problem that you can treat and then ignore. It’s a condition you need to manage for the rest of your life. To keep your blood pressure under control: • Take your medications properly. If side effects or costs pose problems, don’t stop taking your medications. Ask your doctor about other options.

• Schedule regular doctor visits. It takes a team effort to treat high blood pressure successfully. Your doctor can’t do it alone, and neither can you. Work with your doctor to bring your blood pressure to a safe level — and keep it there.

• Adopt healthy habits. Eat healthy foods, lose excess weight and get regular physical activity. Limit alcohol. If you smoke, quit.

• Manage stress. Say no to extra tasks, release negative thoughts, maintain good relationships, and remain patient and optimistic.

• Calcium

• Garlic

While it’s best to incorporate these supplements in your diet as foods, you can also take supplement pills or capsules. Talk to your doctor before adding any of these supplements to your blood pressure treatment. Some supplements can interact with medications, causing harmful side effects.

Sticking to lifestyle changes can be difficult — especially if you don’t see or feel any symptoms of high blood pressure. If you need motivation, remember the risks associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure. It may help to enlist the support of your family and friends as well. L

ALL ABOUT THE

Telescope

A

telescope is a device used to form images of distant objects.

The most familiar kind of telescope is an optical telescope, which uses a series of lenses or a curved mirror to focus visible light. An optical telescope which uses lenses is known as a refracting telescope or a refractor; one which uses a mirror is known as a reflecting telescope or a reflector. Besides optical telescopes, astronomers also use telescopes that focus radio waves, X-rays, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Telescopes vary in size and sophistication from homemade spyglasses built from cardboard tubes to arrays of house-sized radio telescopes stretching over many miles.

The earliest known telescope was a refractor built by the Dutch eyeglass maker Hans Lippershey in 1608 after he 114

accidentally viewed objects through two different eyeglass lenses held a distance apart. He called his invention a kijker, “looker ” in Dutch, and intended it for military use. In 1609, the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei built his own telescopes and was the first person to make astronomical observations using them. These early telescopes consisted of two glass lenses set within a hollow lead tube and were rather small; Galileo’s largest instrument was about 47 inches (120 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter.

Astronomers such as Johannes Kepler in Germany and Chris Huygens in Holland built larger, more powerful telescopes throughout the 1600s. Soon these telescopes got too large to be easily controlled by hand and required permanent mounts. Some were more than 197 feet (60 m) long.

Smart Smarter - All About The Telescope The ability to construct enormous telescopes outpaced the ability of glassmakers to manufacture appropriate lenses for them. In particular, the problems caused by chromatic aberration (the tendency for a lens to focus each color of light at a different point, leading to a blurred image) became acute for very large telescopes.

Scientists of the time knew of no way to avoid this problem with lenses, so they designed telescopes using curved mirrors instead.

In 1663, the Scottish mathematician James Gregory designed the first reflecting telescope. Alternate designs for reflectors were invented by the English scientist Isaac Newton in 1668 and the French scientist N. Cassegrain in 1672. All three designs are still in use today. In the 1600s, there was no good way to coat glass with a thin reflective film, as is done today to make mirrors, so these early reflectors used mirrors made out of polished metal. Newton used a mixture of copper, tin, and arsenic to produce a mirror which could only reflect 16% of the light it received; today’s mirrors reflect nearly 100% of the light that hits them.

It had been known as early as 1730 that chromatic aberration could be minimized by replacing the main lens of the telescope with two properly shaped lenses made from two different kinds of glass, but it was not until the early 1800s that the science of glassmaking was advanced enough to make this technique practical. By the end of the 19th century, refracting telescopes with lenses up to a meter in diameter were constructed, and these are still the largest refracting telescopes in operation.

Reflectors once again dominated refractors in the 20th century, when techniques for constructing very large, very accurate mirrors were developed.

The world’s largest optical telescopes are all reflectors, with mirrors up to 19 feet (6 m) in diameter.

Raw Materials A telescope consists of an optical system (the lenses and/or mirrors) and hardware components to hold the optical system in place and allow it to be maneuvered and focused. Lenses must be made from optical glass, a special kind of glass which is much purer and more uniform than ordinary glass. The most important raw material used to make optical glass is silicon dioxide, which must not contain more than one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of impurities.

Optical glasses are generally divided into crown glasses and flint glasses.

Crown glasses contain varying amounts of boron oxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide, barium oxide, and zinc oxide.

Flint glasses contain lead oxide. The antireflective coating on telescope lenses is usually composed of magnesium fluoride.

A telescope mirror can be made from glass that is somewhat less pure than that used to make a lens, since light does not pass through it. Often a strong, temperature-resistant glass such as Pyrex is used. Pyrex is a brand name for glass composed of silicon dioxide, boron oxide, and aluminum oxide. The reflective coating for telescope mirrors is usually made from aluminum, and the protective coating on top of the reflective coating is usually composed of silicon dioxide.

Hardware components that are directly involved with the optical system are usually manufactured from steel or steel and zinc alloys. Less critical parts can be made from light, inexpensive materials such as aluminum or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene

Smart Smarter - All About The Telescope plastic, commonly called ABS.

The Manufacturing Process Making the hardware components • Metal hardware components are manufactured using standard metalworking machines such as lathes and drill presses.

• Components made from ABS plastics (usually the external body of the telescope) are produced using a technique known as injection molding.

In this process the plastic is melted and forced under pressure into a mold in the shape of the final product. The plastic is allowed to cool back into a solid, and the mold is opened to allow the component to be removed.

made, but it is typically about 2550°F (1400°C).

• The temperature of the molten glass is raised to about 2820°F (1550°C) to force air bubbles to come to the surface. It is then allowed to cool while being stirred constantly until it has reached about 1830°F (1000°C), at which point it is an extremely thick fluid. This viscous, molten glass is poured into molds with roughly the same shape as the lenses required.

• After the glass has cooled to about 570°F (300°C), it must be reheated to about 1020°F (550°C) to remove internal stresses that form during the initial cooling period and which weaken the glass. It is then allowed to cool slowly to room temperature. This process is known as annealing. The final lens-shaped chunks of glass are known

Making optical glass • T h e glass manufacturer mixes the proper raw materials with waste glass of the same type as the glass to be made. This waste glass, known as cullet, acts as a flux; that is, it causes the raw materials to react together at a lower temperature than they would without it.

• This mixture is heated in a glass furnace until it has melted into a liquid.

The temperature needed to form molten glass varies with the type of glass being 118

Smart Smarter - All About The Telescope ing. A mirror is formed in exactly the same way as a lens until the reflective coating is applied.

• First a high-speed, rotating cylindrical cutter with a round diamond blade, known as a curve generator, shaves the surface of the lens until a close approximation of the desired curve is achieved. The cut lens is inspected with a spherometer to check the curvature and is recut if necessary. The time required for cutting varies greatly with the type of glass being cut and the kind of lens being shaped. A lens may require several cuttings, each of which may take anywhere from a few minutes to more than half an hour.

• S e v e r a l cut blanks are placed on a curved block in such a way that their surfaces line up as if they were all part of one large spherical curve. This is necessary so that the grinding machine can grind them all in the same way. A cast iron grinding surface known as a tool is pressed onto them.

During grinding, the block of lenses rotates while the tool is free to move at random on top of it. Between the tool and the block flows a slurry containing water, an abrasive to do the grinding (usually silicon carbide), a coolant to prevent the lenses from being damaged by overheating, and a surfactant to keep the abrasive from settling out. The speed at which the block rotates, the force placed on the lenses, the exact contents of the slurry, and other variables are controlled by experienced opticians to produce the exact type of lens desired.

Each lens is once again inspected with a 120

spherometer and reground if necessary.

The total grinding process may take anywhere from one hour to eight hours. The ground lenses are cleaned and moved to the polishing room.

• The polishing machine is similar to the grinding machine, but the tool is made from pitch—a thick, soft, resinous substance derived from coal tar or wood tar. A pitch tool is made by placing tape around the circumference of a curved dish, pouring in hot, liquid pitch with other ingredients such as beeswax and jeweler ’s rouge, and letting it cool back into a solid. A pitch tool can polish about 50 lenses before it must be re-

shaped. Polishing proceeds in the same manner as grinding, but instead of an abrasive the slurry contains a polishing substance, usually cerium dioxide, in the form of a very fine pink powder. The polished lenses are optically inspected and repolished if necessary. The polishing procedure may take anywhere from half an hour to four or five hours. The lenses are cleaned and are ready for coating.

Applying coatings • To make a lens into a mirror, a very thin, very smooth coating of aluminum is applied. Aluminum is

Smart Smarter - All About The Telescope heated in a vacuum to form a vapor.

A negative electro-static charge is applied to the surface of the lens so that the positively charged aluminum ions are attracted to it. Similar procedures are followed to apply a coating of silicon dioxide to protect the fragile surface of a mirror or to apply an antireflective coating of magnesium fluoride to the surface of a lens. The finished lens or mirror is inspected, labeled with a date of manufacture and a serial number, and stored until needed.

Assembling and shipping the telescope • The hardware components, lenses, and mirrors required to make a particular model of telescope are assembled by hand in an assembly line process. The completed telescope is packed with close-fitting expanded polystyrene foam to protect it from damage during shipping. The telescope is packed in a cardboard box and shipped to the retailer or consumer.

Quality Control The most critical aspect of quality control for an optical telescope is the accuracy of the lenses and mirrors. During the cutting and grinding stages, the physical dimensions of the lens are measured very carefully. The thickness and the diameter of the lens are measured with a vernier caliper, an instrument which looks something like a monkey wrench. The outer, fixed jaw of the caliper is placed against one side of the lens and the inner, sliding jaw is gently moved until it meets the other side of the lens. In a classic vernier caliper, the dimensions of the lens are read very accurately using a scale which moves along with the inner jaw and which is compared with a stationary scale attached to the outer jaw. This type of caliper works much like a slide rule.

122

W

E

E

K

L

There also exist electronic versions of this instrument, in which the measured dimension automatically appears on a digital display.

The curvature of a lens is measured with a spherometer, a device which resembles a pocket watch with three small pins protruding from its base. The outer two pins are fixed in place while the inner pin is free to move in and out. The spherometer is gently placed on the surface of the lens. Depending on the type of curve, the middle pin will either be higher than the other two pins or lower than the other two pins. The movement of the inner pin moves a needle on a calibrated dial on the face of the spherometer. This value is compared with the standard value that should be obtained for the desired curvature.

Tolerances vary with the type of lens being manufactured, but a typical acceptable variation might be plus or minus 0.0008 inches (20 micrometers).

For a flat lens, generally one destined to become a flat mirror, the tolerance is much smaller, usually about plus or minus 0.00004 inches (1.0 micrometer).

During the polishing stage, these instruments are not accurate enough to ensure that the lens will work properly.

Optical tests, which measure the way light is affected by the lens, must be used. One common test is known as an autocollimation test. The lens is placed in a dark room and is illuminated with a low intensity pinpoint light source. A diffraction grating (a surface containing thousands of microscopic parallel grooves per inch) is placed at the point where the lens should focus light. The grating causes an interference pattern of dark and light lines to form in front of and behind the focal point. The true focal point can thus be found precisely and compared with the theoretical focal point for the type of lens

Smart Smarter - All About The Telescope desired.

In order to test a flat lens, a lens that is known to be flat is placed face down on the lens that is to be tested, which rests on a piece of black felt.

The microscopic gaps between the two lenses cause an interference pattern to appear when gentle pressure is applied.

The light and dark lines are known as Newton’s rings. If the lens being tested is flat, the lines should be straight and regular. If the lens is not flat, the lines will be curved.

The Future The techniques used to produce excellent lenses and mirrors have been well under-stood for many years, and major innovations in this area are unlikely. One area of active research is in coating technology. New coating substances may be developed to provide

better protection for mirrors and better prevention of loss of light through reflection for lenses.

A more dramatic area of progress is in the electronic accessories that accompany telescopes. Amateur astronomers will soon be able to obtain telescopes with built-in computer guidance systems that will enable them to automatically point the telescope at a selected celestial object and to track it night by night. They will also be able to attach video cameras to their telescopes and film such astronomical phenomena as lunar eclipses and the movements of planets and moons. L

M

any of us associate bears with cuddly stuffed animals, or the chubby, honey-loving Winnie the Pooh. And since for most of the year we tend to live in cities or populated suburbs, our contact with bears during the year tends to be limited to visiting the zoo on Chol Hamoed.

As the weather turns warmer, many of us go to the mountains for the summer. Although bears live in the woods, we may chance upon their territory when hiking or camping. And unfortunately, with increasing frequency due to our bad habits, they may venture into ours.

Black bears are North America’s most familiar and common bears. They typically live in forests and are excellent tree climbers, but are also found in mountains and swamps.

Black bears are very opportunistic eaters.

Most of their diet consists of grasses, roots, berries, and insects. They will also eat fish and mammals and easily develop a taste for human foods and garbage. Bears who become habituated to human food at campsites, cabins, or rural homes can become dangerous—thus the frequent reminder: Please don’t feed the bears!

So although bears are furry and fascinating, it’s important to realize that they are wild animals and precautions must be taken to avoid injury to the bears or ourselves.

in a rhythmic, surefooted way and can run at speeds of 25–30 mph. Black bears have good eyesight, and have been proven experimentally to be able to learn visual discrimination tasks based on color faster than chimpanzees and as fast as dogs. They are also capable of rapidly learning to distinguish different shapes, such as small triangles, circles and squares. Solitary animals, black bears roam large territories. Males might wander a 15- to 80-square-mile home range.

Black bear weight tends to vary according to age, gender, health, and season. Seasonal variation in weight is very pronounced: in autumn, their pre-den weight tends to be 30% higher than in spring, when black bears emerge from their dens. Black bears on the East Coast tend to be heavier on average than those on the West Coast.

Adult males typically weigh between 130–550 pounds, while females weigh 33% less at 90–370 pounds.

Black Bear Map American black bears can be distinguished from brown bears by their smaller size, their less concave profiles, their shorter claws and the lack of a shoulder hump.

Black bears are highly dexterous, being capable of opening screw-top jars and manipulating door latches. They also have great physical strength. Even bear cubs have been known to turn over flat-shaped rocks weighing 310 to 325 pounds by flipping them over with a single foreleg. They move W

CATSKILLS SECTION BLACK BEARS black bears by the lack of a white mark on the chin and hairier footpads.

Despite their name, black bears show a great deal of color variation. Individual coat colors can range from white, blond, cinnamon, or light brown to dark chocolate brown or to jet black, with many intermediate variations existing. Bluish tinged black bears occur along a portion of coastal Alaska and British Columbia. White to cream colored black bears are rare, found in coastal islands and the adjacent mainland of south-western British Columbia. Albino specimens have also been recorded. Approximately 70% of all black bears are black, though only 50% of black bears in the Rocky Mountains are black. Many black bears in Northwestern North America are cinnamon, blond or light brown in color, and thus may sometimes be mistaken for grizzly bears. Grizzly (and other types of brown) bears can be distinguished by their shoulder hump, larger size and broader, more concave skull.

Black bears are excellent and strong swimmers, doing so for pleasure and to feed (largely on fish). Black bears climb regularly to feed, escape enemies or to hibernate. They are one of the half of bear species that are habitually arboreal (live in trees), though their arboreal abilities tend to decline with age.

Black bears may be active at any time of the day or night, although mainly forage by night.

Bears living near human habitations tend to be more extensively nocturnal and bears living near brown bears tend to be more extensively diurnal (active in the daytime).

The average lifespan in the wild is 18 years, though it is quite possible for wild specimens to survive for more than 23 years.

The record age of a wild specimen was 31 years, while that in captivity was 44 years.

With the exception of the rare confrontation with an adult brown bear or gray wolf pack, adult black bears are not usually subject to natural predation. Black bear cubs tend to be more vulnerable to predation than adults.

Known predators of bear cubs have included bobcats, coyotes, cougars, wolves, brown bears and other bears of their own species.

Many of these will stealthily snatch small cubs right from under the sleeping mother. There is a single record of a golden eagle snatching a yearling cub. Once out of hibernation, mother bears may be able to fight off most potential predators. Even cougars will be displaced by an angry mother bear if they are discovered stalking the cubs. Flooding of dens may also occasionally kill newborn cubs. However, in current times, American black bears fatalities are overwhelmingly attributable to human activities. Seasonally, tens of thousands of black bears are hunted legally across North America, with many more being illegally poached or trapped. Auto-collisions also may claim many black bear lives annually.

CATSKILLS SECTION BLACK BEARS enter their dens in October and November. Prior to that time, they can put on up to 30 pounds of body fat to get them through the seven months during which they fast. Hibernation in black bears typically lasts 3–5 months. During this time, their heart rate drops from 40–50 beats per minute to 8 beats per minute. They spend their time in hollowed-out dens in tree cavities, under logs or rocks, in banks, caves, or culverts, and in shallow depressions. Females, however, have been shown to be pickier in their choice of dens, in comparison to males. Although naturally-made dens are occasionally used, most dens are dug out by the bear itself. A special hormone, leptin is released into the black bear’s systems, to suppress appetite. In comparison to true hibernators, their body temperature does not drop significantly (staying around 35 degrees Celsius) and they remain somewhat alert and active. If the winter is mild enough, they may wake up and forage for food. During winter, black bears consume 25–40% of their body weight. The footpads peel off while they sleep, making room for new tissue. Female black bears give birth to two or three blind, helpless cubs in mid-winter and nurse them in the den until spring, when all emerge in search of food.

The cubs will stay with their very protective mother for about two years.

Food

ing from hibernation, they will seek to feed on carrion (dead carcasses) from winter-killed animals. As the spring temperature warms, black bears seek new shoots of many plant species, especially new grasses and wetland plants. Young shoots and buds from trees and shrubs during the spring period are also especially important to black bears emerging from hibernation, as they assist in rebuilding muscle and strengthening the skeleton and are often the only digestible foods available at that time. During summer, their diet is comprised largely by fruits, especially berries.

During the autumn, feeding becomes pretty much the full-time task of black bears as they prepare for the winter hibernation. Hard masts such as nuts and acorns become the most important part of the black bear’s diet in the fall. Favored masts such as hazlenuts, oak acorns and whitebark pine nuts may be consumed by the hundreds each day by a single black bear during fall. During the fall period, American black bears may also habitually raid the nut caches of tree squirrels. Also extremely important in fall are berries such as huckleberries and buffalo berries. Black bears living in areas near human settlements or around a considerable influx of recreational human activity (such as in the Catskill Mountains) often come to rely on foods inadvertently provided by humans, especially during summertime. These include garbage, birdseed and agricultural products.

The majority of the black bear’s animal diet consists of insects such as bees, yellow jackets, ants and their larvae. They love ants, and you can often see them digging the earth looking for insects. Black bears are also fond of honey, and will gnaw through trees if hives are too deeply set into the trunks for them to reach them with their paws. Once the hive is breached, black bears will scrape the honeycombs together with their paws and eat them, regardless of stings from the bees.

CATSKILLS SECTION BLACK BEARS in the daytime. However, the white furred black bears of the islands of western Canada have a 30% greater success rate in catching salmon than their black furred counterparts, probably because they do not scare the fish as much. Other fish including suckers, trout and catfish are readily caught when possible. Although black bears do not often engage in active predation of other large animals for much of the year, the species will also regularly prey on deer fawns in spring given the opportunity.

Attacks on Humans Although an adult bear is quite capable of killing a human, American black bears typically avoid confronting humans when possible. Unlike grizzly bears, which became a subject of fearsome legend among the European settlers of North America, black bears were rarely considered overly dangerous, even though they lived in areas where the pioneers had settled. Black bears rarely attack when confronted by humans, and usually limit themselves to making mock charges, emitting blowing noises and swatting the ground with their forepaws.

However, according to Stephen Herrero in his Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance, 23 people were killed by black bears from 1900 to 1980. The number of black bear attacks on humans is higher than those of W

the brown bear in North America, though this is largely because the black species considerably outnumbers the brown rather than greater aggressiveness.

The incidence of bear attacks in parks and campgrounds declined after the introduction of bear-resistant garbage cans and other reforms.

Compared to brown bear attacks, aggressive encounters with black bears rarely lead to serious injury. However, the majority of black bear attacks tend to be motivated by hunger rather than territoriality, and thus victims have a higher probability of surviving by fighting back rather than submitting. Unlike grizzlies, female black bears do not display the same level of protectiveness to their cubs, and seldom attack humans in their vicinity.

However, occasionally, attacks by protective mothers do occur. The worst recorded fatality incident occurred in May 1978, in which a black bear killed three teenagers who were fishing in Algonquin Park in Canada.

Another exceptional, spree-like attack occurred in July 1998 in Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park in Canada, when an emaciated black bear attacked a child and mother, killing the latter as well as an adult man who tried to intervene. This bear was shot while mauling a fourth victim.

The majority of attacks happened in national parks, usually near campgrounds, where the bears had become habituated to human contact and food. 1,028 incidences of black bears acting aggressively toward people, 107 of which resulted in injury, were recorded from 1964 to 1976 in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and occurred mainly in tourist hotspots where people regularly fed the bears handouts. In almost every case where open dumps or handouts that had previously attracted black bears were ceased, the amount of aggressive encounters with bears has decreased over time. However, in the aforementioned case of the spree attack in Liard River Hot Springs,

CATSKILLS SECTION BLACK BEARS the attacking bear was believed to have been previously almost fully dependent on a local garbage dump that had closed, and was starving as a result of the loss of that food source.

Staying Safe Here are the facts: • Bears are curious. They spend a great deal of time exploring for food, and this can bring them close to humans.

• Bears seem awkward and slow but don’t be fooled. They can sprint up to 40 mph in short bursts, so you will never out-run them.

• When a bear stands on its hind legs, it isn’t a sign of aggression; it is merely smelling you.

• Bears are intelligent - they learn from experience. If an activity results in food, they will repeat that activity. If an encounter with a human is negative, they learn to avoid humans.

• Bears are common in the Adirondacks and Catskills. The Catskills contain the second largest population (1,500 to 2,000).

You are likely to encounter a bear while camping in the backcountry.

• Feeding bears creates “bad” bears.

When bears learn to obtain food from humans, they can become bold and aggressive.

• Feeding bears is bad for bears. Bears’ natural foraging habits and behavior can be changed.

• Usually solitary, bears can be concentrated in areas causing stress, injuries from physical conflicts, and the spread of diseases. Often when feeding on garbage or camper’s supplies bears will eat unhealthy materials such as soap, insect repellant, food

packaging, etc.

Therefore, if hiking or camping in the woods, remember the following: • Never deliberately feed bears and avoid unintentionally feeding bears.

• Pack a minimal amount of food - the less food to store the better. Use lightweight and dehydrated foods.

• Cook and eat before 7pm, since become more active after sunset.

• Cook at least 100 feet away from your campsite, and avoid dripping food so as not to attract bears.

• Keep food in storage containers.

Only take out the food you plan to cook.

Keep containers nearby and store food immediately if a bear approaches your cooking area.

• Avoid leftovers and carefully plan your meals and eat all that you cook.

• Never leave food unattended. Bears often watch, hidden in woods, waiting for opportunities to steal food.

• Use Bear-resistant food canisters.

These are a highly effective means for preventing bears from getting your food, toiletries and garbage. Bears can defeat most other food storage techniques and in some areas in the Adirondacks they routinely obtain and access even properly hung food bags. NYSDEC regulations require the use of bear-resistant canisters by overnight users in the Easter High Peaks Wilderness between April 1 and November 30.

• Do not store or hang food in backpacks. The backpack will retain food odors and attract bears.

CATSKILLS SECTION BLACK BEARS stomach. Try not to panic; remain as quiet as possible until the attack ends. Play dead.

Be absolutely sure the bear has left the area before getting up to seek help.

• Do not throw your backpack or food bag at an approaching bear. This practice will only encourage bears to approach and “bully” people to get food.

Interesting Facts about Black Bears Bear-resistant canisters • Never approach or surround a bear.

Bears aggressively defend themselves when they feel threatened. Be especially cautious around cubs as mother bears are very protective.

• Avoid walking trails at night. Stay in your campsite to avoid chance encounters.

If you do encounter a bear: • Keep your distance (at least 50 yards, or about the distance four shuttle buses parked end to end would take up). If you get closer, you will be helping the bear become used to being around people.

• Use noise to scare bears. Yell, clap or bang pots immediately upon sighting a bear near your campsite. If you are hiking alone, just clap your hands or yell out, “Hey, bear.”

• Make noise especially if the wind is blowing in your face, because then there is a good chance the bear will have a hard time picking up your scent.

• Never run from a bear. If you feel threatened, back away slowly.

• If the animal makes contact, curl up into a ball on your side, or lie flat on your

• Morris Michtom, the creator of the teddy bear, was inspired to make the toy when he came across a cartoon of Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a black bear cub trapped up a tree.

• Winnie the Pooh was named after Winnipeg, a female black bear cub that lived at London Zoo from 1915 until her death in 1934.

• A black bear cub who in the spring of 1950 was caught in the Capitan Gap fire was made into the living representative of Smokey Bear, the mascot of the United States Forest Service.

• Although they live in North America, American black bears are not closely related to brown bears and polar bears.

• New Jersey, in November 2010, approved of a six-day bear-hunting season in early December 2010 to slow the growth of the black bear population. Bear-hunting had been banned in New Jersey for five years.

• Black bear fat was once valued as a cosmetic article which promoted hair growth and gloss. However animal rights activism over the last decade has slowed the harvest of these animals; therefore the lard from black bear has not been used in recent years for the purpose of cosmetics. L

THE OFFICE OF... united states navy By: Etty Berkowitz

Every week we will be featuring a different government office and their duties.

The United States Navy (USN) is the naval warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. It is larger than the next 13 largest navies combined in terms of battle fleet tonnage (ships’ carrying capacity). The U.S. Navy also has the world’s largest carrier fleet, with 10 in service, one under construction (two planned), and two in reserve. The service has 317,054 personnel on active duty and 109,671 in the Navy Reserve. It operates 288 ships in active service and more than 3,700 aircraft.

The navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which was established during the American Revolutionary War and was essentially disbanded as a separate entity shortly afterwards. Attacks against American shipping by Barbary Coast forces in the Mediterranean Sea spurred Congress to employ this power by passing the Naval Act of 1794 ordering the construction and manning of six frigates (warships). These ships were used for Barbary Wars activity off the Barbary Coast. In the 20th century, American blue-water navy capability (being able to be out on the high seas far from home base) was demonstrated by the 1907–1909 world tour of the Great White Fleet.

It is a blue-water navy with the ability to project force onto the coastal regions of the world, engage in forward areas during peacetime, and rapidly respond to regional crises, making it an active player in U.S. foreign and defense policy.

The navy is administratively managed by the Department of the Navy, which is headed by the civilian Secretary of the Navy. The Department of the Navy is itself a division of the Department of Defense, which is headed by the Secretary of Defense. The Chief of Naval Operations is a four-star admiral and the senior naval officer of the Department of the Navy.

Mission From the New Recruits Handbook: The mission of the United States Navy is to protect and defend the right of the United States and our allies to move freely on the oceans and to protect our country against her enemies.

The United States Navy is a seaborne branch of the military of the United States. The US Code prescribes the navy’s three primary areas of responsibility:

Commander in Chief George Washington commissioned seven ocean-going cruisers to embargo British supply ships, and reported the captures to the Congress. This effectively ended the debate in Congress as to whether or not to “provoke” the British by establishing a navy as Washington’s ships had already captured British ships, constituting somewhat more than a mere provocation.

ADVENTURES OF THE- U-202 SUBMARINE Smart Pneumonia The officeSmarter of...United States Navy War. Modernization led to the New Navy, which has made it the most powerful Navy in the world.

During the beginning of the Old Navy, the British fleet was invading New York from Canada. As a result, Benedict Arnold requested that twelve Navy vessels be built. Unfortunately, the British demolished Arnold’s fleet. However, Arnold’s fleet was able to slow their progression. By mid-1776, the U.S. had a number of ships under construction.

All were outmatched by the Royal Navy, though. In fact, by 1781, nearly all had been captured or sunk.

USS Constitution still exists today and is anchored in the Boston harbor.) After the bill was passed, Congress authorized $800,000 to obtain a treaty with the Algerians. An amendment of the Act halted the construction of the ships if peace was declared. Three of the six frigates were completed.

Then came the War of 1812. The U.S. Navy set out to do battle, despite being outnumbered 50-to-1. At one point, the USS Constitution encountered the HMS Guerriere. They demolished it in a single combat.

The U.S. managed to capture three British frigate.

The office of...United States Navy The creation of the New Navy started in 1882. Navy Secretary, William H. Hunt, had requested Congress to fund the construction of modern ships.

Initially, Congress rejected the request, but later authorized the construction of three cruisers and a dispatch vessel. In 1885, they authorized the construction of the Navy’s first battleship. The Navy Act of 1890, called for the development of three more battleships.

In 1901, Theodore Roosevelt became President. He was a fervid political supporter of the Navy. It was under his administration that the Navy was able to add many more surface ships, submarines, and technological innovations to use. Towards the end of 1907, Roosevelt added sixteen new battleships to the Great White Fleet. He then sent the fleet on a cruise around the world. To the rest of the world, they displayed the U.S. power and capabilities. Subsequently, the U.S. was taken more seriously.

The Bureau of Aeronautics was created in 1921. The naval aviators were referred to as members of the United States Naval Air Corps. In 1922, the Unit-

ed States commissioned its first aircraft carrier. The Navy had a naval base in the Philippines and river gunboats on the Yangtze River. One of the river gunboats was bombed by Japanese airplanes. This ended up being the opening shot in the Pacific War. Later, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a complete surprise. It left the Navy off-balance and unable to counter Japan’s takeover of the Far East. They were able to take over the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. America had an urge for vengeance, though. The era of the battleship was over. They were mainly used for shore bombardment.

When the Japanese surrendered, the Navy had over 1600 warships.

In the 1950s, under the leadership of Hyman G. Rickover, the Navy began developing nuclear power for ships.

They also developed missiles and jets for the Navy to use. During this time, they gradually developed a reputation for having the most highly-developed technology of all U.S. services.

The potential for armed conflict with the Soviet Union during the Cold War pushed the U.S. Navy to continue its technological advancement by developing new weapons systems, ships, and aircraft.

United States naval strategy changed to that of forward deployment in support of U.S. allies with an emphasis on carrier Map of Navy bases in the United States battle

ADVENTURES THE U-202 SUBMARINE The office OF of...United States Navy groups.

The navy was a major participant in the Vietnam War, blockaded Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and, through the use of ballistic missile submarines, became an important aspect of the United States’ nuclear strategic deterrence policy. The United States Navy conducted various combat operations in the Persian Gulf against Iran in 1987 and 1988, most notably Operation Praying Mantis. The navy was extensively involved in Operation Urgent Fury, Operation Desert Shield, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Deliberate Force, Operation Allied Force, Operation Desert Fox and Operation Southern Watch.

The U.S. Navy has also been involved in search and rescue/search and salvage operations, sometimes in conjunction with vessels of other countries as well as with U.S. Coast Guard ships.

Two examples are the 1966 Palomares B-52 crash incident and search for the nuclear bombs, and the Task Force 71 of the Seventh Fleet operation in search for Korean Air Lines Flight 007 shot down by the Soviets on Sep 1, 1983.

The United States Navy continues to be a major support to U.S. interests in the 21st century. Since the end of the Cold War, it has shifted its focus from preparations for large-scale war with

the ongoing War on Terror, largely in this capacity. Development continues on new ships and weapons, including the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier and the Littoral combat ship. Because of its size, weapons technology, and ability to project force far from U.S. shores, the current U.S. Navy remains a potent asset for the United States.

In 2007, the U.S. Navy joined with the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard to adopt a new maritime strategy called A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Sea Power that raises the notion of prevention of war to the same philosophical level as the conduct of war. The strategy was presented by the Chief of Naval Operations, the Commandant of the Marine Corps and Commandant of the Coast Guard at the International Sea Power Symposium in Newport, R.I. on October 17, 2007. The strategy recognized the economic links of the global system and how any disruption due to regional crises—man-made or natural— can adversely impact the U.S. economy and quality of life. This new strategy charts a course for the Navy, Coast

The office of...United States Navy Guard and Marine Corps to work collectively with each other and international partners to prevent these crises from occurring or reacting quickly should one occur to prevent negative impacts on the United States.

During the George W. Bush administration, the fleet dropped to a total number of ships that was smaller than any time since 1917. In 2010, Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gary Roughead noted that demands on the Navy have grown as the fleet has shrunk and that in the face of declining budgets in the future, the U.S. Navy must rely even more on international partnerships.

In its 2013 budget request, the navy has focused on retaining all eleven big deck carriers, at the expense of cutting numbers of smaller ships and delaying the SSBN replacement.

Organization The Navy falls under the administration of the Department of the Navy, under civilian leadership of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV). The most senior naval officer is the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), a four-star admiral who is immediately under and reports to the Secretary of the Navy. At the same time, the Chief of Naval Operations is one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is the second-highest deliberating body of the armed forces after the United States National Security Council, although it only plays an advisory role to the President and does not nominally form part of the chain of command. The Secretary of the Navy and Chief of Naval Operations are responsible for organizing, recruiting, training, and equipping the Navy so that it is ready for operation under the command of the unified combat command commanders.

There are nine components in the 186

operating forces of the U.S. Navy: the United States Fleet Forces Command (formerly United States Atlantic Fleet), United States Pacific Fleet, United States Naval Forces Central Command, United States Naval Forces Europe, Naval Network Warfare Command, Navy Reserve, United States Naval Special Warfare Command, Operational Test and Evaluation Force, and Military Sealift Command. Fleet Forces Command controls a number of unique capabilities, including Military Sealift Command, Naval Expeditionary Combat Command, and Navy Cyber Forces.

The United States Navy has six active numbered fleets – Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh Fleet and Tenth Fleets are each led by a three-star vice admiral, and the Fourth Fleet is led by a rear admiral.

These six fleets are further grouped under Fleet Forces Command (the former Atlantic Fleet), Pacific Fleet, Naval Forces Europe-Africa, and Naval Forces Central Command, whose commander also doubles as Commander Fifth Fleet; the first three commands being led by four-star full admirals. The United States First Fleet existed after the Second World War from 1947, but it was designated Third Fleet in early 1973. In early 2008, the navy reactivated the United States Fourth Fleet to control operations in the area controlled by Southern Command, which consists of US assets in and around Central and South America.

Shore establishments exist to support the mission of the fleet through the use of facilities on land. Among the commands of the shore establishment, as of April 2011, are the Naval Education and Training Command, the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the Naval Supply Systems Command, the Naval Air Systems Command, the Naval Sea Systems

The office of...United States Navy Command, the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, the Bureau of Naval Personnel, the United States Naval Academy, the Naval Safety Center, the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center, and the United States Naval Observatory. Official Navy websites list the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations and the chief of naval operations as part of the shore establishment, but these two entities effectively sit superior to the other organizations, playing a coordinating role.

Relationships with Other Service Branches In 1834, the United States Marine Corps came under the Department of the Navy.

Historically, the United States Navy has had a unique relationship with the USMC, partly because they both US Navy Working Uniform specialize in seaborne operations. Together the Navy and Marine Corps form the Department of the Navy and report to the Secretary of the Navy. However, the U.S. Marine Corps is a distinct, separate service branch with its own uniformed service chief – the Commandant of the Marine Corps, a four-star general.

The Marine Corps depends on the Navy for medical support (dentists, medical doctors, medics known as “corpsmen” and medical service staff) and religious support (chaplains). Thus Navy officers and enlisted sailors fulfill these roles. When attached to Marine Corps units deployed to an operational environment they generally wear marine 347.787.1838

camouflage uniforms, but otherwise they wear Navy dress uniforms unless they opt to conform to Marine Corps grooming standards.

The Posse Comitatus Act prevents federal military personnel from acting in a law enforcement capacity, and applies only to the Army and Air Force. The United States Coast Guard, in its peacetime role with the Department of Homeland Security, fulfills its law enforcement role in the maritime environment. It provides Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETs) to Navy vessels, where they perform arrests and other law enforcement duties during naval boarding and interdiction missions. In times of war, or when directed by the President, the Coast Guard operates as a service in the Navy and is subject to the orders of the Secretary of the Navy until it is transferred back to the Department of Homeland S e c u r i t y.

At other times, C o a s t G u a r d p o r t security units are s e n t overseas US Navy Full Dress Whites to guard the security of ports and other assets. The Coast Guard also jointly staffs the Navy’s naval coastal warfare groups and squadrons (the latter of which were known as harbor defense commands until late-2004), which oversee defense efforts in foreign coastal combat and inshore areas. Additionally, Coast Guard and Navy vessels sometimes operate together in search and rescue operations.

The office of...United States Navy nearly 500,000 personnel, approximately a quarter of whom are in ready reserve. Of those on active duty, more than eighty percent are enlisted sailors, and around fifteen percent are commissioned officers; the rest are midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy and midshipmen of the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps at over 180 universities around the country and officer candidates at the Navy’s Officer Candidate School.

Sailors prove they have mastered skills and deserve responsibilities by completing Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) tasks and examinations. Among the most important is the “warfare qualification”, which denotes a journeyman level of capability in Surface Warfare, Aviation Warfare, Naval Aircrew, Special Warfare, Submarine Warfare or Expeditionary Warfare. Many qualifications are denoted on a sailor’s uniform with U.S. Navy badges and insignia.

The size, complexity, and international presence of the United States Navy require a large number of navy installations to support its operations.

While the majority of bases are located inside the United States itself, the navy maintains a significant number of facilities abroad, either in U.S.-controlled territories or in foreign countries under a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA).

Equipment As of 2011, the navy operates 285 ships, 3,700 aircraft, 50,000 non-combat vehicles and owns 75,200 buildings on 3,300,000 acres.

Additionally, each ship is given a letter-based hull classification symbol (for example, CVN or DDG) to indicate the vessel’s type and

number. All ships in the navy inventory are placed in the Naval Vessel Register, which is part of “the Navy List” (required by article 29 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea). The register tracks data such as the current status of a ship, the date of its commissioning, and the date of its decommissioning. Vessels that are removed from the register prior to disposal are said to be stricken from the register. The navy also maintains a reserve fleet of inactive vessels that are maintained for reactivation in times of need.

The navy had established a minimum requirement for 11 aircraft carriers, but dropped to 10 when the Enterprise retired in December 2012, before the Gerald R. Ford enters service.

A carrier is typically deployed along with a host of additional vessels, forming a carrier strike group. The supporting ships, which usually include three or four Aegis-equipped cruisers and destroyers, a frigate, and two attack submarines, are tasked with protecting the carrier from air, missile, sea, and undersea threats as well as providing additional strike capabilities themselves. Ready logistics support for the group is provided by a

mand, coordinate, and fully support all elements of a 2200-strong marine amphibious unit in an amphibious assault using both air and amphibious vehicles.

Amphibious assault ships are typically named after World War II aircraft carriers.

Amphibious transport docks are warships that embark, transport, and land Marines, supplies, and equipment in a supporting role during amphibious warfare missions. With a landing platform, amphibious transport docks also have the capability to serve as secondary aviation support for an expeditionary group. Amphibious transport docks are named for cities, except for USS Mesa Verde (LPD-19), named for Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, and three San Antonio class ships named in memory of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Cruisers are large surface combat vessels that conduct antiair/anti-missile warfare, surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and strike operations independently or as members of a larger task force. Modern guided missile cruisers were developed out of a need to counter the anti-ship missile threat facing the United States Navy. All cruisers since CG-47 have been named for famous battles with USS Thomas S. Gates (CG-51) as the only exception. Previously, cruisers were either named for cities (until CG-12), former important navy figures (CG-15 to CG-35), or states (CGN-36 to CGN-41).

Destroyers are multi-mission medium surface ships capable of sustained performance in anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-ship, and offensive strike operations. Like cruisers, guided missile destroyers are primarily focused on surface strikes using Tomahawk missiles and fleet defense through Aegis

Destroyers additionally specialize in antisubmarine warfare and are equipped with VLA rockets and LAMPS Mk III Sea Hawk helicopters to deal with underwater threats. When deployed with a carrier strike group or expeditionary strike group, destroyers and their fellow Aegis-equipped cruisers are primarily tasked with defending the fleet while providing secondary strike capabilities.

Destroyers have been named for important navy personnel and heroes since the USS Bainbridge (DD-1).

Modern U.S. frigates mainly perform anti-submarine warfare for carrier strike groups and amphibious expeditionary groups and provide armed escort for supply convoys and merchant shipping. They are designed to protect friendly ships against hostile submarines in low to medium threat environments, using torpedoes and LAMPS helicopters.

Independently, frigates are able to conduct counterdrug missions and other maritime interception operations. The U.S. Navy expects to retire and replace its current class of frigates by 2020 as the Littoral Combat Ships are introduced into operation. As in the case of destroyers, frigates are named after naval heroes.

In addition, USS Constitution, commissioned in 1797 and one of the original six frigates of the United States Navy, remains in commission at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston. She serves as a tribute to the heritage of the Navy, and occasionally sails for commemorative events such as Independence Day and various victories during the War of 1812.

battlegroup operations, and control of the seas. The U.S. Navy operates three types: ballistic submarines, guided missile submarines, and attack submarines.

Ballistic missile submarines have only one mission: to carry and launch the nuclear Trident missile. Four Ohio class ballistic missile submarines were converted to guided missile submarines, which have a primary mission of attacking targets on land. Attack submarines have several tactical missions, including sinking ships and other subs, launching cruise missiles, gathering intelligence, and assisting in special operations.

Earlier attack submarines (such as the Los Angeles class) are typically named for cities while Ohio class and later attack submarines are typically named for states. Attack submarines prior to the Los Angeles class were named for “denizens of the deep”, while pre-Ohio class ballistic missile submarines were named for “famous Americans” (including foreigners with notable connections to the United States).

Carrier-based aircraft are able to strike air, sea, and land targets far from a carrier strike group while protecting friendly forces from enemy aircraft, ships, and submarines. In peacetime, aircraft’s ability to project the threat of sustained attack from a mobile platform on the seas gives United States leaders significant diplomatic and crisis-management options. Aircraft additionally provide logistics support to maintain the navy’s readiness and, through helicopters, supply platforms with which to conduct search and rescue, special operations, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), and anti-surface warfare (ASuW). The Aircraft Investment Plan sees naval aviation growing from 30 percent of current aviation forces to half of all procurement funding over the next three decades.

The office of...United States Navy Creek, Va. The US Navy has plans to increase that number by 500. The CIA’s highly secretive Special Activities Division (SAD) and more specifically its elite Special Operations Group (SOG) recruits operators from the SEAL Teams.

Navy SEALs have more often than not received medals and other honors. Michael Murphy and Michael Monsoor are two Navy SEALs who have received the Congressional Medal of Honor for their exemplary acts of courage.

In the early morning of May 2, 2011 local time, a team of 40 Navy SEALs with 24 on the ground, killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan about 35 miles from Islamabad. The Navy SEALs were part of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), previously called “SEAL Team 6”.President Barack Obama later confirmed the death of bin Laden, but did not directly mention the involvement of DEVGRU, saying only that a “small team” of Americans undertook the operation to bring down bin Laden. The unprecedented media coverage raised the public profile of the SEAL community, particularly the counter-terrorism specialists commonly known as SEAL Team 6. The official name of the military operation was Operation Neptune Spear.

SEAL training is extremely rigorous, having a reputation as some of the toughest anywhere in the world.

The dropout rate for SEAL training is sometimes over 90 percent. The Navy SEAL candidate spends over a year in a series of formal training environments before being awarded the Special Warfare Operator Naval Rating and the Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 5326 Combatant Swimmer (SEAL) or, in the case of commissioned naval officers, the designation Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) Officer.

a fifteen-man team composed of U.S. Navy SEALs. Each member comes to the team for a three-year tour from one of the two Naval Special Warfare Groups located on the east and west coasts. On completion of the tour, members return to operational units. The parachute team began in 1969 when Navy SEALs and Frogmen volunteered to perform at weekend air shows. The team was officially commissioned as the U.S. Navy Parachute Team in 1974 by the Chief of Naval Operations and assigned the mission of demonstrating Navy excellence throughout the United States.

A typical Leap Frogs performance consists of six jumpers leaping out of an aircraft at an altitude of 6,000 feet. After freefalling sometimes using smoke or streamers, the Leap Frogs fly their canopies together to build canopy-relative work formations. After performances, the Leap Frogs make themselves available to the public to answer questions about the Navy and the Naval Special Warfare community, as well as to sign autographs.

Among the seven uniformed services of the Unites States, America’s Navy holds the distinction of being the most multidimensional force serving the nation. Composed of highly specialized communities whose duties often extend beyond the sea, it does far more than meet the overwhelming task of carrying out naval operations around the globe.

It follows then as certain as that night succeeds the day, that without a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive, and with it, everything honorable and glorious.

—George Washington
