"there is a few more stories I would like to tell ...."
As you enter Burketown at that time (about 1954) there is a country store to the
left in that small town. Mother said that an old man sat on the front porch of the
store and ate salmon out of a can. The store is not there today because it was
no longer profitable and replaced by a grocery store in Weyers Cave. Now
there are two service stations at about 2 miles on US Route 11 south from
Burketown across from each other of Interstate 81, US Route 11 who run
parallel and intersect with the road to Weyers Cave. Both of my families
(the Clines and the Caricofes) intermingled at times because the BP station
across from the Exxon is where I bought Uncle Paul the sub sandwich and
he bought the beer.
Today if you drive about one half mile from the turn onto Burketown Road
and look to the right you will see, a on maybe an acre of land, one man's
memorial to himself. The public can visit during the daylight and see inside
the building at his final resting place.

The Correspondent Who Scooped the World
Dominique Rowe / Hong Kong @thinkhorn 5:40 AM ET
The war correspondent who announced the start of WW II and was once accredited to
TIME turns 105 Monday
"A shaft of late afternoon sun slices through the heavy air of an impending tropical
storm, landing on the floor of a modest living room in the heart of Hong Kong’s former
colonial district.
On a blue two-seater sofa, a tiny head and bony freckled hands emerge from the loose
rumple of a red and black Chinese silk shirt. This is Clare Hollingworth, doyenne of
war correspondents, who turned 105 on Monday. She’s the oldest living journalist who
has an association with TIME and the British correspondent who, nearly 70 years ago,
got the scoop of a century.
In the first week of her career at the British newspaper the Telegraph in 1939, the
then-27-year-old Hollingworth broke the news that World War II had started. Though
she would continue to make her mark on front lines and front pages for more than half
a century, this auspicious beginning remains her defining moment.
“Clare Hollingworth was one of the greatest reporters of the 20th century,” says
Charles Moore, former editor of the Daily Telegraph, speaking at a PR event
promoting Patrick Garrett’s recent biography of her life. “She got this paper’s greatest
scoop.”
After the then-General Bernard Law Montgomery imposed a ban on British female
correspondents on the front lines in Egypt in 1942, the undeterred Hollingworth
approached the Americans to get her overseas — which is how she became briefly
accredited to TIME, as recorded in the Library of Congress.
Born on Oct. 10, 1911 — the same year as Tennessee Williams, Lucille Ball and Ronald
Reagan — Hollingworth was a small child when World War I began in 1914.
Throughout that war, the Hollingworth family lived on a farm in rural Leicestershire in
central England, where talk of conflict wove its way into the fabric of an idyllic
childhood, according to her biographer and great nephew, Garrett.
Over the course of her illustrious career, the diminutive war correspondent — she
stood at 5 ft. 3 in. — would see more than 50 years of on-the-ground action, from her
scoops in Poland at the beginning of the conflagration, to her coverage of the complex
and bloody Algerian War. Hollingworth worked for the Telegraph for more than 30
years as foreign, China, defense and Far East correspondent and for the Guardian as
foreign and defense correspondent, while covering conflicts from Europe to North
Africa and Asia, including Iran, Egypt, Pakistan and Vietnam. She also wrote five
books: Poland’s Three Weeks’ War, There’s a German Right Behind Me, The Arabs and
the West, Mao and the Men Against Him, and her memoirs Front Line.
In the year leading up to the start of World War II, Hollingworth was in Poland
arranging the evacuation of more than 3,500 political and Jewish refugees to Britain,
earning herself the nickname “the Scarlet Pimpernel” from Britain’s press.
According to Garrett’s biography, Of Fortunes and War, she had a natural talent for
“cajoling reluctant government officials, juggling incomplete information, and
managing chaotic logistics.”
Even so, her stint as a female Oskar Schindler “ended abruptly in July 1939,” says
Garrett. “It is not clear exactly why,” but he believes it was down to “complaints about
her methods” from British intelligence agencies MI5 and MI6.
Hollingworth had saved thousands of lives by regularly circumventing British
immigration bureaucracy, which due to its heavy vetting process would have left many
in the clutches of the Third Reich. Britain, however, felt she had flung the doors open to
any number of potential spies and enemies of the state.
Within a month of returning to England, she had secured a job as a war correspondent
for the Telegraph, and almost immediately returned back to the Polish-German border
in Katowice, where she stayed with a diplomat friend from the Foreign Office.
Knowing that war may be imminent, and bolstered by the presence of a diplomatic
flag, she borrowed her host’s car, and “motored off alone into Nazi Germany” to stock
up on wine and aspirin. As she drove back along the border, a fabric partition
separating the two countries flapped momentarily in the wind, exposing “scores, if not
hundreds of tanks” in the valley below. And there was her first big scoop: the outbreak
of World War II.
Three days later, at 5 a.m. on Sept. 1, 1939, Hollingworth was awoken by the sound of
tanks rolling past her window. She scrambled to call her editor, as well as the British
and Polish Foreign Offices, each of whom met her news with disbelief. (At this point
Poland thought it was still in negotiations with Germany.)
Although profiles make much of her early scoops, the stories that garnered the most
respect from her fellow journalists was her work during France’s bloody and
intractable Algerian War from 1954 to 1962. It also won her several awards for
journalism.
“Algeria was a hugely complex three-way civil war,” Garrett tells TIME. “It was also
just plain dangerous.”
Hollingworth would make her way into the Casbah — the epicenter of violence. “For
civilians, venturing outdoors in Algiers in 1962 verged on the suicidal,” he wrote in Of
Fortunes and War. “Up to a hundred people were being killed or wounded every day
in shootings.”
“Her work there consisted of a long series of analysis and insights on the situation,”
says Garrett. “She gained great insight into the war by being one of the only journalists
to brave the bloody, dangerous and unpredictable Casbah most days, to meet rebel
contacts....”

Vladimir Putin awarded 'Hugo Chavez Prize for Peace and Sovereignty' by Venezuela
President Nicolas Maduro awarded the prize to the Russian president as an 'ally',
calling him a 'fighter for peace'
Rachael Pells Saturday 8 October 2016
"Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced his own peace prize on the same
day as the annual Nobel award REUTERS
The president of Venezuela has created a new peace prize in honour of former socialist
leader Hugo Chavez – and awarded it to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The award was given on the same day the annual Nobel Peace Prize was presented to
Juan Manuel Santos, president of neighbouring Colombia, for his role in negotiating a
peace agreement with Marxist FARC rebels.
During a televised broadcast, Prime Minister Nicolas Maduro said: “I’ve decided to
create the Hugo Chavez prize for peace and the sovereignty… I think President
Vladimir Putin deserves this award.”
This is why the White Helmets were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
Colombia's Santos says Nobel prize should help cement peace deal
Describing the Russian President as a “fighter for peace”, President Maduro unveiled
a statue of Chavez designed by a Russian artist for the new award.
Mr Putin and future winners will receive a miniature replica of the statue.
Speaking on air, Mr Maduro said the prize would be offered to national and
international figures “who have excelled in the struggle for peace,” adding that he had
chosen to honour Mr Putin with the award as he is a strong ally of Venezuela.

Hundreds of thousands of people have joined pro and anti-government

are led by campaigners who criticise the government for its role in the country’s
failing economy.
Mr Maduro blames the problems on an “economic war,” however, which he says has
been constructed by the opposition party with help from the US government.
President Putin was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, despite ordering
soldiers to invade Ukraine that same year. He lost to Kailash Satyarthi and Malala
Yousafzai, for their work against the suppression of children and young people.
MY OPINION
The US is no longer the world's superpower. Russia has that distinction now
under the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Because of the failing leadership of President Obama, Hillary Clinton as
Secretary of State and the soap opera like events of the presidential election,
the rest of the world is now laughing and enjoying the declining power and
the US's weakness in the world.
The only solution I see to this is that Donald Trump step down and allow Mike
Pence to run for the US Presidency.
Of course, that's just my opinion.
HEALTH
I told you all before that I believe that I am healthy at my age (almost 74)
because I stand and rarely set and eat few foods that are mostly processed
or dipped in grease.
If you are at Walmart you can tell who is healthy by sneaking a look in to their
grocery cart. The ones who are not healthy go to the deli, bakery, cookie,
candy, easy to fix TV dinners, processed juice instead of water ailes and skip
the produce, canned vegetables, canned fruits, non-processed meats and
others of the like.

Nearly one-third of the world’s population is obese or overweight, new data show
"No country has successfully reduced obesity rates in 33 years
SEATTLE—Today, 2.1 billion people – nearly 30% of the world’s population – are
either obese or overweight, according to a new, first-of-its kind analysis of trend data
from 188 countries. The rise in global obesity rates over the last three decades has
been substantial and widespread, presenting a major public health epidemic in both
the developed and the developing world.
Published in The Lancet on May 29, the study, “Global, regional, and national
prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980–2013: a
systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013,” was conducted by an
international consortium of researchers led by the Institute for Health Metrics and
Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington. Overweight is defined as having a
Body Mass Index (BMI), or weight-to-height ratio, greater than or equal to 25 and lower
than 30, while obesity is defined as having a BMI equal to or greater than 30.
The results are also available in an online tool at http://vizhub.healthdata.org/obesity.
Over the course of the study, rates of overweight and obesity among adults have
increased for both men (from 29% to 37%) and women (from 30% to 38%). In
developed countries, men had higher rates of overweight and obesity, while women in
developing countries exhibited higher rates. Also in developed countries, the peak of
obesity rates is moving to younger ages.
“Obesity is an issue affecting people of all ages and incomes, everywhere,” said Dr.
Christopher Murray, director of IHME and a co-founder of the Global Burden of
Disease (GBD) study. “In the last three decades, not one country has achieved success
in reducing obesity rates, and we expect obesity to rise steadily as incomes rise in
low- and middle-income countries in particular, unless urgent steps are taken to
address this public health crisis.”
Looking at individual countries, the highest proportion of the world’s obese people
(13%) live in the United States. China and India together represent 15% of the world’s
obese population. Rates in the study were age-standardized, meaning they were
adjusted for differences in population size and ages over time and across countries.
Among children and adolescents, obesity has increased substantially worldwide.
Between 1980 and 2013, the prevalence of overweight or obese children and
adolescents increased by nearly 50%. In 2013, more than 22% of girls and nearly 24%
of boys living in developed countries were found to be overweight or obese. Rates are
also on the rise among children and adolescents in the developing world, where
nearly 13% of boys and more than 13% of girls are overweight or obese. Particularly
high rates of child and adolescent obesity were seen in Middle Eastern and North
African countries, notably among girls
“The rise in obesity among children is especially troubling in so many low- and
middle-income countries,” said Marie Ng, Assistant Professor of Global Health at IHME
and the paper’s lead author. “We know that there are severe downstream health
effects from childhood obesity, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and many
cancers. We need to be thinking now about how to turn this trend around.”
Regionally, countries in the Middle East and North Africa, Central America, and Island
nations in the Pacific and Caribbean have already reached exceptionally high rates of
overweight and obesity – 44% or higher. In 2013, the highest rates of overweight and
obesity were seen in the Middle East and North Africa, where more than 58% of men
and 65% of women age 20 or older were found to be either overweight or obese. More
than two-thirds of the countries in the region had overweight and obesity rates of over
50% in adult men and women. In Central America, more than 57% of adult men and
more than 65% of adult women were overweight or obese, with the highest prevalence
– greater than 50% among men and women – found in Colombia, Costa Rica, and
Mexico. In the Pacific Islands, nearly 44% of men and more than 51% of women are
overweight or obese, as are nearly 38% of men and more than 50% of women in the
Caribbean.
While the percentage of people who are either overweight or obese has risen
substantially over the last 30 years, there have been marked variations across regions
and countries. In developed countries, increases in obesity that began in the 1980s and
accelerated from 1992 to 2002 have slowed since 2006. Conversely, in developing
countries, where almost two-thirds of the world’s obese people currently live,
increases are likely to continue.
Key findings:
More than 50% of the world’s 671 million obese live in 10 countries (ranked beginning
with the countries with the most obese people): US, China, India, Russia, Brazil,
Mexico, Egypt, Germany, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
The US, United Kingdom, and Australia are among the high-income countries with
large gains in obesity among men and women.
Over the 33-year period of research, the Middle East showed large increases in
obesity. Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait were among the countries
with the largest increases in obesity globally.
In six countries, all in the Middle East and Oceania – Kuwait, Kiribati, the Federated
States of Micronesia, Libya, Qatar, and Samoa – the prevalence of obesity for women
exceeds 50%. In Tonga, both men and women have obesity prevalence over 50%.
In sub-Saharan Africa, the highest obesity rates (42%) are seen among South African
women.
Health risks such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and
chronic kidney disease increase when a person’s BMI exceeds 23. In 2010, obesity and
overweight were estimated to have caused 3.4 million deaths, most of which were from
cardiovascular causes. Research indicates that if left unchecked, the rise in obesity
could lead to future declines in life expectancy.

7 warnings signs of type 2 diabetes
By Suzy Cohen for Rodale Wellness Published October 10, 2016
"Many people get a surprise when the doctor hands them a diabetes or a prediabetes
diagnosis. They go to the doctor for a routine checkup or because of some specific
complaint, such as back pain or fatigue, and their lab work comes back with the bad
news that their blood sugar is way too high.
If they were really paying attention to their bodies, however, they wouldn't be
surprised. As diabetes develops, it announces itself in all kinds of ways, some of them
subtle and others really in your face.
Feeling thirsty
Your mouth feels dry, and you want to keep your lips planted on the water fountain,
despite the line of people forming behind you.
Dehydration is actually about your brain, not your mouth, even though your mouth is
dry. Don't believe me? Your brain cells need a steady supply of glucose. When your
brain is bathed in overly concentrated sugar water, it will summon fluid from any
source to dilute the uncomfortable fluid surrounding each cell. Your brain gets this
fluid from other cells, which leads to dehydration. You may have the urge to drink
copious amounts of fluid as your body tries to overcome the lack of water.
Soda pop junkies, you're fooling yourself if you think that drinking soda will hydrate
you. It never will. For now, drink more pure, filtered water. You can do it!
Frequent trips to the bathroom
It makes sense that if you are drinking more water because of constant thirst, then you
will be urinating a lot too. You are staring at (or sitting on) the potty more than normal
because there is too much sugar in your blood and your kidneys are getting a serious
sugar bath.
If your kidneys could speak, they'd say, "Hey, what's the deal here? I'm overwhelmed,
so I'm going to pull extra water out of your blood to dilute all this sugar!" Essentially,
the floodgates open as your kidneys continuously draw extra water out of your blood
in an effort to dilute the sugar bath coming through. All this water fills your bladder,
and this sensation causes the urge to pee. Then you become thirsty again, and have to
drink more water in an attempt to rehydrate. And the cycle continues.
Your kidneys do their best to eliminate excess glucose. The amount of protein spilling
into the urine also increases with time, which interferes with normal kidney filtration. If
your kidneys can't filter wastes properly, toxins build up in your bloodstream. The
insidious thing is that kidney damage can occur even when blood sugar is controlled
by medication.
Weakness and fatigue
Many people feel run down and don't realize that their chronic exhaustion is related to
blood sugar problems. The symptoms of fatigue can be easily masked with a mocha
latte. Starbucks has a booming business, in part because of the ever-expanding
population of tired, weak people with insulin resistance (and no wallet resistance).
When the glucose from your meals can't get into your cells, your cells can't make
energy, so you feel tired all the time. Not to mention that exasperating sense of hunger
when you just ate a little while ago. What's up with that? If glucose from your meals is
locked out of your cells, you never get the energy boost or that satisfying sense of
fullness after you eat. Bummer.
Numbness and tingling in your hands or feet
This sneaky symptom is really about nerve damage, and can take months or even
years to show up. Your doctor terms this pain neuropathy. Neuropathy occurs because
the bloodstream is overwhelmed with glucose, which is like acid to your nerves. It
damages the delicate nerve endings that extend to the hands, legs, and feet. That's
when you start to feel the pain, numbness, tingling, itching, and other weird sensations
that you may be experiencing. If you have this symptom, you should discuss it with a
neurologist in addition to your regular doctor. The good news is that for many people,
it can be minimized or managed with several inexpensive, over-the-counter
supplements.
Blurry vision
If your blood glucose levels remain high, fluid may be pulled from your tissues for
dilution purposes—including fluid from the lenses of your eyes. This may affect your
ability to focus. Also, teeny tiny capillaries that lead to your eyes become damaged
from all the free radicals. Free radicals are damaging molecules that people with
diabetes produce in alarming quantities. This is why antioxidants are so important for
anyone who has this disease. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals.
Skin problems
Some people with type 2 diabetes have patches of dark skin in the folds and creases of
their bodies—usually in the armpit, neck, knuckles, and groin. It almost looks like dirt,
except you can't wash it off. Sometimes it looks velvety or bumpy. There may be skin
tags around these darkened hyper-pigmented areas. This condition, called acanthosis
nigricans, is a sign of insulin resistance. It means that your body is producing too much
insulin in response to excessive blood glucose.
Infections
Frequent bladder and vaginal infections can be a particular problem for women with
diabetes. You would think that taking antibiotics would simply cure a person's
infection, but it's not that easy. In the general population, not just among people with
diabetes, antibiotic resistance has weakened our ability to defend ourselves against
microbes. This resistance is a deadly consequence of many years of indiscriminate
prescribing of antibiotics.
Wounds and skin infections are slow to heal in the person with type 2 diabetes, and
skin infections that cannot be healed could lead to gangrene and ultimately
amputation of a foot or limb. It's much easier to prevent a wound than it is to cure it, just
as it's much easier to not smoke than it is to cure lung cancer.
Losing weight without trying
Many people with diabetes or prediabetes want to munch all day. Because their cells
ignore insulin, which can no longer effectively move blood sugar (energy) into those
cells, their muscles and organs feel famished. Improper fluctuations of hormones such
as ghrelin (a hunger hormone) and leptin (a feel-full hormone) complicate things and
trigger intense hunger. The interesting thing is that you may lose weight without even
trying, even though you nosh all day long. Great, right? Wrong!
This kind of weight loss causes you to lose muscle mass. It occurs in part because your
body is looking for some energy or fuel (think glucose), and it breaks down muscle
cells to get it. Without a constant source of glucose in your cells, your muscle tissues
shrink. This is especially noticeable with type 1 diabetes. With type 2, this symptom of
weight loss is imperceptible for years because most people with type 2 diabetes are
overweight to begin with and the subtle weight loss flies under the radar. Losing
weight is important if you have diabetes, but you want to lose fat, not muscle."

By Richard Martin
(Reuters) - Influential Spain defender Gerard Pique has said he will retire from
international soccer after the 2018 World Cup, because he is "tired" of the criticism
levelled at him from supporters.
The Barcelona centre-back was the focus of attention in Sunday's World Cup qualifier
with Albania after having cut off the sleeves from his shirt which bore Spain's colours of
yellow and red.
Pique, who has an awkward relationship with Spain fans for his repeated jibes at Real
Madrid and his support for a referendum on Catalan independence, was heavily
criticised on social media and in the sports press for the act.
He stunned reporters after the game by declaring he was ready to quit the national
team.
"Yes, I'm tired of it and the World Cup in Russia is going to be my last commitment with
the Spain team and then I hope I can be left in peace," Pique said on Sunday.
"I cut my shirt because the sleeves were very short and they were bothering me. I've
tried everything but I can't take it any more, the thing with the sleeve is the straw that
has broken the camel's back."
Pique has made 86 appearances for Spain and won the 2010 World Cup in South Africa
and Euro 2012. He was also present in Spain's disappointing campaigns in the 2014
World Cup and Euro 2016.
The outspoken Barcelona-born defender, however, does not enjoy the same rapport
with Spain supporters as his international team mates.
He was resoundly booed in a friendly with Costa Rica in 2015 after making a joke about
Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and those wounds were re-opened on Sunday.
"They have succeeded in killing my joy in playing for Spain and even though after
Russia I'll only be 31, I'm going to quit then," added Pique.
"I have always tried to give everything but while some people appreciate that others
think it's better for me not to be with Spain."
He added his decision to not quit immediately was because of the influence of new
manager Julen Lopetegui, who replaced World Cup winning coach Vicente del Bosque
earlier this year.
"I'm very excited with this new project with Julen and I don't want to quit at all," Pique
added.
"I'll keep playing until the World Cup. We've started this together and we're going to
finish it together."

US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Hillary Clinton has won the second presidential debate according to voters, the first
opinion poll has found.
The CNN poll found 57 per cent of people feel Ms Clinton won the debate, compared to
34 per cent of voters who felt Donald Trump performed best.
A further poll by YouGov found 47 per cent of people polled favoured Ms Clinton while
42 per cent backed Mr Trump.
Among people who had previously been undecided about who they would be casting
their vote for, Clinton also won narrowly by 44 per cent to 41 per cent.
The heated debate took place following one of the most dramatic and bitter weekends
in the election, after footage emerged of Mr Trump allegedly discussing groping
women. Mr Trump was challenged by the convenor about his comments. He
responded that he was "embarassed" by his comments but said "I have great respect
for women. Nobody has more respect for women than I do."

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST CARICOFE
Yesterday I went to Walmart in Wooster and purchased 4 bags of flower bulbs,
ink for the printer, plastic front shields for my phone and visited the eye center.
The lady at the eye center said that I could get a pair of rose colored glasses
just like I have for about $69 which was quite a surprise. I cannot find my
prescription, so I'll go to my eye doctor this morning, get the prescription and
take it to Walmart.
After leaving Walmart I went to Lowes and bought four bags of black mulch, a bag of
ficus grass seed and a plant called Boston Ivy that was on sale for about $4.
After returning to the house, I black mulched the two back corner flower beds
and the fire pit bed that is just about half ways distance from the corners.
I planted bulbs in the new corner bed and, I hope, I will have time to plant most
of the rest of them today.
