Reminder: What to take to bed with you - not a joke.Pretty neat idea. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your par-

ents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, every-one you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at

nightIf you hear a noise outside your home or someone tryingto get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarmwill be set off, and the horn will con-tinue to sound until either you turnit off or the car battery dies. Next time you come home for the

night and you start to put your keysaway, think of this: It's a securityalarm system that you probably al-ready have and requires no installa-tion. Test it. It will go off from mosteverywhere inside your house andwill keep honking until your batteryruns down or until you reset it withthe button on the key fob chain. Itworks if you park in your drivewayor garage.

If your car alarm goes off whensomeone is trying to break into your house, odds are the bur-glar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds, all theneighbors will be looking out their windows to see who isout there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. Andremember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This issomething that should really be shared with everyone.Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

I am sending this to everyone. This is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, whereyou can't reach a phone. Perhaps seniors carry thier car keys

with them in case they fall outside. If they can activate thecar alarm and then others might know there's a problem.

Phil Hall from a National Mortgage Professional Magazine took Surf City's recent Affordable issues seriously..."The City Council in Hunt-ington Beach, Calif. has rejected state pressure on efforts to expand

local opportunities for affordable housing, and a movement in themunicipal government is laying the groundwork for legal action

to block the state from going further.The Los Angeles Times reports that the Council voted 7-0

earlier this week to block a proposal that would have added more than 400

affordable units spread across seven parcels. The Council cited concerns by local resi-dents regarding a potential decrease in property values and an increase in traffic and park-ing problems if the construction went through.

But Huntington Beach is under a state mandate to identify sites that would be able toaccommodate 1,353 affordable units. Council menbers Billy O'Connell and Erik Petersonhave called on City Attorney Michael Gates to become involved in the issue.

For his part, Gates said he was "certainly willing to represent the interests of the city

and see if we can challenge" the state. However, the city would need to expand its budgetallocations in order to fund any official legal challenge of state mandates."

Take This To Bed

On a High Note

Boeing has developed an unmanned underseavehicle that can operate autonomously for months at a time.

Richard Tomkins of UPI went deep 6 on this

one..."A new unmanned undersea vehicle that can op-

erate autonomously for months at a time has beenintroduced by Boeing.

The Echo Voyager's endurance is the re-sult off a hybrid rechargeable power sys-

tem and modular payload bay, thecompany said.

The 51-foot-long vehicle can also belaunched and recovered without the useof support ships needed by other UUVs.

"Echo Voyager is a newapproach to how unmanned underseavehicles will operate and be used in thefuture," said Darryl Davis, president,Boeing Phantom Works. "Our invest-ments in innovative technologies suchas autonomous systems are helping our customers affordably meet mission re-quirements now and in the years tocome."

According to Boeing, Echo Voyager

can collect data while at sea, rise to thesurface, and provide information back to users in a near real-time environment.

Details on the hybrid power system used to

power the vessel, however,were not disclosed.

Sea trials of the vessel arescheduled to begin this summer."

Best Guess: Our Lawmakers are spending over a billion dollars a day, but only receive

about 500 million dollars a day in revenue!

How to Inspire...INSPIRATION

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people,so they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house and reuse thegrave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch

marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie astring on the wrist of the corpse, thread it through the coffin and up through the ground andtie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift)to listen for the bell; thus someone could be, ''Saved by the Bell ''or was considered a ''DeadRinger'' And that's the truth. Now, whoever said history was boring ! ! ! So ..... get out thereand educate someone! Share these facts with a friend, like I just did!

I Did Not Know That Either

AnAOL repot tee's up with..."It'ssomething that you've certainlyseen and felt countless times, but probablyhave never given a second thought.

Whether you've ever stepped foot on agolf course or not, everybody knows whata golf ball looks like. Those strange dimples encompass the entire thing -- butwhy? Wouldn't a smoother ball be easier

to strike?Well, early golfers used to think so. They

suspected smoother surface would createless wind resistance, thus enabling the ballto soar further in the air. Wrong!

Golfers eventually realized that their golf balls were flying further after they werescuffed and even dented. By the time 1930rolled around, dimpled golf balls were theindustry standard.

The science behind it? Dimples help liftthe ball by forcing air downward. It's thatsimple!

So, SierraBroke Her

Arm Doc says she can stillwear a softball glove

and use her cast for the bat

Why Do They Have Dimples?

NASA

NUGGETAfather told his 3sons when he sentthem to university:

"I feel it's my duty to pro-vide you with the best pos-sible

education, and you do notowe me anything for that.

However, I want you toappreciate it. As a token, please

each put $1,000 intomy coffin when I die."

And so it happened. Hissons became a doctor, a lawyer and a financial planner, each very successful finan-cially. When their father’s time had come and they saw their father in the coffin, theyremembered his wish.

First, it was the doctor who put 10 $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.Then, came the financial planner, who also put $1,000 there.Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He dipped into his pocket, took out

his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father's coffin, and took the

$2,000 cashHe later went on to become a member of Congress...

It Brought a Tear To My Eye

Iam told...when NASA started sending astronauts into space,they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work

in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientistsspent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that

writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost anysurface including glass and at temperatures rang-

ing from below freezing to over 300 C.

On the other hand...The Russiansused a pencil.

Our taxes are dueagain - enjoy!

The 25th AnnualKiwanis Easter

Hunt/Family Fun Day Draws More Than

11,000 PeopleM

ore than 11,000 happy kids, parents and vendors had a real blast at The Kiwanis Club of

Huntington Beach's 25th Annual Easter Hunt/Family Fun Day recently in the HBSports Complex, near the HB Library.Mayor Jim Katapodis welcomed the ex-cited crowd and HB City CouncilpersonJill Hardy enjoyed the event with her son,Alec Moore.

Easter Egg Hunts were held for chil-dren from 2 to 10 years of age. Therewere many vendor booths, including TheSurfers Walk of Fame, the HB Coordinat-

ing Council, HB Interfaith Council, HBCommunity Services Department, HBCity Clerk's Office, Beach Boulevard of Cars, The Local News, PK Real Estate,Patrick Brenden for HB City Council, HBPolice and Fire, who taught people firesafety.

Kiwanian Patrick Brenden, an HBPlanning Commissioner, said he loved tosee so many families appreciating theEaster fun, including carnival games andvaluable advice on passports, voter regis-tration, recreation classes, NeighborhoodWatch and how to get involved and vol-unteer to make your community a better

place. ""It's great our nice Sports Com- plex was used. Many people probablysaw it for the first time," he said. "Thisfestival, which gets bigger and bigger every year, couldn't have been done with-out hundreds of volunteers led by Chair-man John Etheridge.

Etheridge, who has chaired it for Kiwa-nis over 10 years, loved to see all thesmiles on everyone's faces--regardless of age, income or ethnicity. "The entertain-ment, including the Tupua dancers weresensational under bright sunny skies thatsignaled summer is just around the cor-

ner," he said.The Family Fun Day would not hap-

pen without the generosity of our local business community that turns out inmass to support the event with their ex-hibits as well as their pocketbooks andvolunteer time. HB residents and busi-nesses working together, now that'sCommunity! You too can be involved inthis event next year and many other wonderful Kiwanis of Huntington Beach

tro responded Monday to Presi-dent Barack Obama's historictrip to Cuba with a long, bris-tling letter recounting the historyof U.S. aggression against Cuba,writing that "we don't need theempire to give us any presents."

The 1,500-word letter in statemedia titled "Brother Obama"was Castro's first response to the president's three-day visit lastweek, in which the American president said he had come to bury the two countries' historyof Cold War hostility. Obamadid not meet with the 89-year-old Fidel Castro on the trip butmet several times with his 84-year-old brother Raul Castro, thecurrent Cuban president.

Obama's visit last week wasintended to build irreversiblemomentum behind his openingwith Cuba and to convince theCuban people and the Cubangovernment that a half-centuryof U.S. attempts to overthrowthe Communist government hadended, allowing Cuban to re-form its economy and politicalsystem more quickly.

Fidel Castro writes of Obama: "My modest sugges-tion is that he reflects and does-n't try to develop theories aboutCuban politics."

Castro, who led Cuba for decades before handing power to his brother in 2008, was leg-endary for his hours-long, all-encompassing speeches. Hisletter contrasts sharply withObama's tightly focused speechin Havana last week. Castro'sletter opens with descriptions of environmental abuse under

Monday reflects that style, pre-senting a sharp contrast to the

Spaniards and reviews the his-torical roles of Cuban independ-ence heroes Jose Marti, AntonioMaceo and Maximo Gomez.

Castro goes over crucial sec-tions of Obama's speech line byline, engaging in an ex-post-facto dia-logue withthe Ameri-can presi-dent with p o i n t e dcrit iquesof per-c e i v e dslights andinsults, in-c l u d i n gObama 'sfailure togive creditto indige-nous Cubans and Castro's prohi- bition of racial segregation after coming to power in 1959.

Quoting Obama's declarationthat "it is time, now, for us toleave the past behind," the manwho shaped Cuba during thesecond half of the 20th century

writes that "I imagine that anyone of us ran the risk of havinga heart attack on hearing thesewords from the President of theUnited States."

Castro then returns to a reviewof a half-century of U.S. aggres-sion against Cuba. Those eventsinclude the decades-long U.S.trade embargo against the is-land; the 1961 Bay of Pigs at-tack and the 1976 bombing of aCuban airliner backed by exileswho took refuge in the U.S.

He ends with a dig at the

Obama administration's drive toincrease business ties with

Cuba. The Obama administra-tion says re-establishing eco-nomic ties with the U.S. will bea boon for Cuba, whose cen-trally planned economy hasstruggled to escape fromoverdependence on imports and

a chronic shortage of hard cur-rency.

The focus on U.S-Cuba busi-ness ties appears to have partic-ularly rankled Castro, whonationalized U.S. companiesafter coming to power in 1959and establishing the communist

system into which his brother isnow introducing gradual mar-ket-based reforms.

"No one should pretend thatthe people of this noble and self-less country will renounce itsglory and its rights," Fidel Cas-tro wrote. "We are capable of producing the food and materialwealth that we need with work and intelligence of our people."

SAMUEL LIEBER-MAN shots from thehip on this report..."While the ChicagoPolice Department isunder federal investi-gation following theshooting of Laquan

McDonald, and owingto its police practicesall around, homicidesand shootings havespiked in the firstthree months of 2016. The 131 homicides so far rep-resent an 84 percent increase over that period lastyear, and the 605 shootings in that stretch are almostdouble last year's total.

Some experts blame the mild winter; others saythat social media has sped up the pace of gang re-taliations. Still, others note that after the criticismfollowing the McDonald case, the Chicago policehave avoided confronting citizens whenever possi-

ble. Although analysts generally reject that as acause for the rising number of shootings, the statisticin the Times is striking:

Since January, offi-cers have recorded20,908 instances inwhich they stopped,

patted down and ques-tioned people for suspi-cious behavior,compared with 157,346

in the same period lastyear. Gun seizures arealso down: 1,316 gunshave been taken off thestreets this year com-

pared with 1,413 at this time last year.Despite the increase, the numbers are far below

the figures from the early 1990s, during the crack epidemic, when the homicide count hovered around900. New York, a city with almost three times the

population of Chicago, has only seen 60 homicidesthis year so far, a 20 percent drop from last year.Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel this week named anew interim police chief, Eddie Johnson, a 27-year veteran of the department."

Ed. Then we are confronted with police shoot-ings...is it survival or war!

Walmart Earnings BeatExpectations; Shares Rise

Nathan Layne (Reuters)... wentshopping for up ticks...and foundthem on and interesting isle..."WalmartStores reported slightly stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings Tuesday asit booked its fifth straight gain in U.S.

same-store sales, sending its shares upmore than 4 percent.

However, the company also said itexpected sales at stores open at least ayear to grow more slowly during thecurrent quarter, which includes the cru-cial holiday shopping season, and that

business would remain competitive.Walmart's earnings have been under

pressure from costs to boost entry-levelwages and spruce up stores. Last monthit warned that those costs would leadearnings to decline by as much as 12

percent next year, prompting many in-vestors to dump the stock.

The company has also said that those

investments, while hitting profits, arealso starting to translate into better cus-tomer service and helping to lift sales.

"We are starting to get some goodmomentum," Greg Foran, chief execu-tive of U.S. operations, said on a callwith reporters.

Net profit attributable to the world'slargest retailer fell to $3.304 billion, or $1.03 a share, in the third quarter endedon Oct. 31 from $3.711 billion, or $1.15a share, a year earlier.

Analysts on average had expected 98cents a share, according to ThomsonReuters I/B/E/S.

The results included a boost of 4cents a share from an adjustment of ac-

counting for leases.Sales at U.S. stores open at least a

year rose 1.5 percent, while customer traffic increased 1.7 percent. The com-

pany said food, apparel and homegoods performed

well, while its enter-tainment departmentstruggled due in partto a lack of block-

buster products on themarket to drive de-mand.

Walmart said in-ventory on a compa-rable store basis fell

by 1.9 percent, asharp contrast withMacy's and other re-tailers that warned of a build-up of stock inrecent weeks.

In a note to clients,Cowen & Co. analystOliver Chen wrotethat Walmart's "cleaninventory position"should somewhatlimit promotional

pressure among dis-counters during theholiday season. He also said Walmart'ssales growth, driven by sales and ap-

parel, should generally bode well for Target (TGT), which reports quarterlyresults Wednesday.

Walmart said operating income fell8.8 percent to $5.7 billion. Foran saidthe company had added more labor

hours than initially planned during thequarter while also making investmentsin customer-facing parts of the store.

Walmart said consolidated revenuefell 1.3 percent to $117.4 billion,

weighed down by international opera-tions, which have been hurt by astronger dollar. It said online sales in-creased 10 percent in the quarter,slower than its plans for growth in themid-to-high-teens this fiscal year. Itcited weakness in Brazil, China and theU.K.

The company forecast same-storeU.S. sales growth would slow to 1 per-cent in the fourth quarter due to a toughcomparison from last year when a bigdrop in fuel prices and food inflation

boosted sales.Walmart narrowed its forecast for

earnings per share in the full fiscal year to end-January to $4.50 to $4.65 from$4.40 to $4.70. The market consensuswas for $4.50.

Walmart (WMT) shares were up 4.4 percent at $60.43 in morning." trading."

hilip Pullella and Mark Heinrich(Reuters)view Pope in his window..."PopeFrancis on Monday condemned the Easter

suicide bomb by Islamist militants that killed atleast 70 people in Pakistan, many of them Chris-tians, as "hideous" and demanded that the coun-try's authorities protect religious minorities.

Addressing thousands of people in St. Peter's

Square on Easter Monday, a religious holiday, the pope said Pakistan had been "bloodied by ahideous attack that massacred so many innocent

people, mostly families of the Christian minority."The pope, speaking from the window of the Vat-

ican's Apostolic Palace to crowds in the square

below, called the Sunday evening attack in a busy park in the Pakistani city of Lahore, "a vile andsenseless crime."

"I appeal to civil authorities and all sectors of that nation to make every effort to restore securityand serenity to the population, and in particular tothe most vulnerable religious minorities," he said.

Pope Francis, leader of the world's 1.2 billionRoman Catholics, said he also prayed that Godwould "stop the hands of the violent ones who sowterror and death."

A breakaway Taliban militant group that oncedeclared loyalty to Islamic State claimed respon-sibility for the blast.

Pakistan is a majority-Muslim state though it hasa Christian population of more than 2 million"t

atholic Archbishop Charles J. Chaputof the Archdiocese of Philadelphiaurged students at Brigham Young Uni-

versity to help defend faith and religious free-dom. “We need to wake each other up to seethe world and our nation as they really are — the good along with the evil. We need to support each other in the work for religious free-

dom we share.”Archbishop Chaput

spoke during a forum inthe Marriott Center onthe Provo, Utah, campuson Tuesday, March 22,2016. He was joined onthe stage by Elder DallinH. Oaks of the Quorumof the Twelve Apostles of

The Church of JesusChrist of Latter-daySaints. The private uni-versity is owned and op-erated by the Church.

“I’m here today be-cause I believe the friend-ship of the LDS andCatholic communities is

important,” said Archbishop Chaput. “Weneed to treat each other as friends, not enemiesor strangers. We need to learn from eachother’s successes and mistakes.”

He continued, “It’s importantfor our own integrity and the in-

tegrity of our country to fight for our convictions in the publicsquare. Anything less is a kind of cowardice. But the greater task isto live what we claim to believe by our actions — fidelity to God,love of spouse and children, loy-alty to friends, generosity to the poor, honesty and mercy in deal-ing with others, trust in the good-ness of people, discipline andhumility in demanding the mostfrom ourselves.”

Archbishop Chaput said, “Our task as believers, whatever our re-ligious tradition, is to witness our

love for God and for each other in the time and place God puts us.”

“No society can sustain itself for long if mar-

riage and the family fall apart on a mass scale.And that’s exactly what’s happening as wegather here today,” stressed Archbishop Cha- put.

“Faith in God is the road to life,” said thearchbishop. “And to borrow a line from theGospel of Luke, the soul of this university, andthe soul of each and every one of us heretoday, should ‘magnify the Lord.’”

He encouraged the Mormon students to in-spire others by following one of BYU’s unof-ficial mottos, “Enter to learn, go forth toserve.”

Archbishop Chaput said, “Dear friends, goforth to serve. Serve the poor. Help the weak.

Protect unborn children. Fight for your right tolove and serve God and for others to do thesame. Defend the dignity of marriage and thefamily, and witness their meaning and hope toothers by the example of your life.”

This is Archbishop Chaput’s second speechon the BYU campus. He delivered a messageon religious freedom on January 23, 2015. Hisvisits follow a 2010 speech on the Provo campus six years ago by Cardinal Francis George,who also fostered friendship betweenCatholics and Latter-day Saints. CardinalGeorge passed away last year.

Baseball has an age problem. Accordingto data collected by Sports MediaWatch, half the television viewers dur-

ing the 2013 World Series were 55 or older.Those numbers are consistent with the age of viewers of all nationally televisedgames on FOX, ESPN, TBS and the MLB Network during the entire 2013season, giving baseball the oldest televisionviewing audience of any of thefour Major League team sports.

And the 2013 season wasn’tunique. For the five year periodleading up to 2013, the medianviewing age increased by one year annually, which suggests to someobservers that baseball is a dying

sport. To counter that trend, MLBhas made it a priority to reach out toyounger generations in a number of ways. The goal is to introduce base-

ball to kids as early as possible, andfor good reason. According to MLBCommissioner Rob Manfred, researchshows that “The biggest and strongest indicator of fan affinity as an adult is if you

played [the game] as a kid."In December, the league hired Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr. as a special advisor

on youth programs and outreach. Ripken’s charge was to come up with ways toentice kids away from their video games and other sports and begin playing base-

ball. Nothing was off the table. The former Baltimore Orioles’ shortstop cameup with a number of recommendations, some of which are guaranteed to offendtraditionalists.

Among the suggestions under consideration are starting every inning with a run-ner on first base; beginning each inning with a different count; determining the

length of an inning by the number of batters instead of the traditional three outs;

and requiring players to steal in order to create more action and excitement. Atthe lower levels of the sport – T-ball, Little League – the game can appear to betoo slow and boring compared to other sports. The proposed changes are certainlycreative, perhaps radical. But they are designed

to make the game faster andquicker, and to keep playersmore involved in the actionon the field. “We’re not ru-ining the game,” said Rip-ken, “we’re teaching thegame. We’re showcasingthe game.”

Fortunately for MLB, notall the numbers are asalarming as the average

age of TV viewers. For example, the average ageof those using theMLB.com At Bat app on

their cell phones and tablets is 34, evidence thatwhen the sport adapts it can engage the younger generation on their level. And

that’s exactly what baseball must do in order to compete with other sports - foot- ball, basketball and soccer to name a few - that are siphoning off fans and interest.

If baseball fails to change, the sport could be headed to the same place as itsolder TV-viewing audience: the cemetery.

K ate BratskeirFood and HealthEditor, The Huffington Postgets her teeth into this

story..."Americans are expected toconsume approximately 54.3 poundsof red meat per person this year, an in-crease of half a pound over 2015. It’sthe first time in 10 years beef con-sumption has increased, according tothe U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Experts point to a constellation of factors, from popular meat-friendlydiets like Paleo to the

revelation that saturatedfat — long cited as a big downside of red meat — may have a less cut-and-dry effect on health than previouslythought. But the biggest reason may

be the cheaper price tag on U.S. beef.“In February, a pound of uncooked

ground beef retailed for $4.38, about7 percent below a year ago, accordingto data from the Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics,” Bloomberg reported.

The lower cost has allowed restau-rant chains to introduce beef to moreareas of their menus. As Bloombergnotes, joints like Chilis and Wendy’shave added previously excluded beef to their value meals.

This is happening despite every-thing we know to be true about redmeat consumption. Just last year, the

World Health Organization went sofar as to classify red meat as a ‘prob-able carcinogen,’ meaning there issome evidence that eating a lot of redmeat could contribute to cancer.

The idea that red meat can be ahealth hazard has been an important

public health finding for quite sometime. Major studies have shown a dietrich in red meat can contribute to ahost of maladies, yet emerging re-

search muddies this picture, sug-gesting that not all

saturated fat iscreated equal.

Still, theA m e r i c a nHeart Asso-ciation rec-o m m e n d s

eating morefish, chicken

and beans be-cause of beef’sc h o l e s t e r o l

counts. “Choles-terol and saturated

fat can raise your blood

cholesterol and makeheart disease worse,” the or-

ganization’s website declares.“Chicken and fish have less saturatedfat than most red meat.”

The American Institute for Cancer Research suggests eating no morethan 18 ounces of red meat per week and avoiding processed meats, likehot dogs, ham and salami, altogether.While the average annual per personconsumption for red meat in Americastill falls under this 18-ounce guide-line, be aware that — like everything

— red meat should be eaten in mod-eration.

Despite its current and enticing price, eating red meat in excess can becostly for your health. Plus, there aresome really delicious meat-free alter-natives in the world that you shouldgive your taste buds the gift of trying.

Despite EverythingWe Know,

Red Meat ConsumptionIs On The Rise

They say..."Red meat consumption is linked with

a higher risk for cancer and heart disease."

Birstones and Their Meaning

The wearing of birthstones is

thought to bring good luck andgood health. Astrologers longago attributed supernatural powers tocertain gemstones.

The birthstones we associate withcertain months now are not necessarilythe same ones as in ancient times. Once,color was the most important feature of a stone. Ancients did not distinguish be-tween a ruby and a garnet, for example.

The names used in history may notrelate to the stone we think of with thatname today.

For example, a sapphire in the Biblewas probably what we know today aslapis.

Diamonds were probably a white sap-

phire or white topaz.The stones originally assigned to each

month related to the stones appearingon the breastplate of a Jewish high

priest.

Birstone Meanings by Mon

January’s birthstone, the garnet, isthought to keep the wearer safe duringtravel.

February’s birthstone, theamethyst, is said to strengthen relation-ships and give its wearer courage. Atone time, only royalty could wear thegem. Ancient Greeks thought that theamethyst guarded against intoxication.In fact, amethyst comes from amethys-

tos, a Greek word meaning “sober.”March’s birthstone, the aquamarine,was thought to cure heart, liver, andstomach diseases—all one had to dowas drink the water in which the gemhad been soaking. Early sailors believedthat aquamarine talismans, etched withthe likeness of the sea god Neptune,

protected them against ocean dangers.April’s birthstone, the diamond, in

addition to being a symbol of everlast-ing love, was once thought to bringcourage. In Sanskrit, the diamond iscalled “vajra,” which also means light-ning; in Hindu mythology, vajra was theweapon of Indra, the king of gods.

May’s birthstone, the emerald, was

one of Cleopatra’s favorite gems. It has

long been associated with fertility, re- birth, and love. Ancient Romans wentso far as to dedicate this stone to Venus,the goddess of love and beauty. Today,it is thought that emeralds signify wis-dom, growth, and patience.

June’s birthstone, the pearl, has long been a symbol of purity. The ancientGreeks believed that pearls were thehardened tears of joy from Aphrodite,the goddess of love.

July’s birthstone, the ruby, was re-garded by ancient Hindus as the “kingof gems.” It was believed to protect itswearer from evil. Today, the ruby’sdeep-red color signifies love and pas-sion.

August’s birthstone, the peridot,symbolizes strength. It is sometimescalled the evening emerald for its lightgreen color. It was once believed thatthe green peridot crystals found in vol-canic ashes were the tears of the vol-cano goddess, Pele. When set in gold,

this gem was said to protect the wearer from nightmares.

September’s birthstone, the sapphire, was once thought to guard againstevil and poisoning. It was believed thata venomous snake would die if placedin a vessel made of sapphire. Tradition-ally a favorite stone of priests and kings,the sapphire symbolizes purity and wis-dom.

October’s birthstone, the opal, symbolizes faithfulness and confidence. Theword comes from the Latin opalus,meaning “precious jewel.” Necklaceswith opals set in them were worn torepel evil and to protect eyesight.

November’s birthstone, the topaz,symbolizes love and affection. It is be-lieved to give the wearer increasedstrength and intellect.

December’s birthstone, turquoise, isregarded as a love charm. It is also asymbol of good fortune and success,and it is believed to relax the mind andto protect its wearer from harm.Turquoise rings, in particular, arethought to keep away evil spirits.

Who says mothers aren't powerful?

Esther Carlstone (mom.me) tells us about: SARAH JOSEPHA BUELL HALESarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879). A native of Newport, New Hampshire,

Hale is best known for her literary work. She wrote a successful novel, North-wood, after being widowed with five children to support. Eventually, Hale be-

came editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, which was the arbiter of taste and fashionfor American women for forty years. As an editor, Hale defied the convention of the day by publishing and copyrighting original work. Though conservative inher ideology, Hale agitated for higher education for women (in order to makethem better wives and mothers), and for better medical care and higher wages for women. Hale is also known for successfully lobbying President Lincoln to makeThanksgiving an annual holiday and for writing Mary Had a Little Lamb.
