The faster you pile up heart disease risk factors, the greater your odds of developing dementia, a new study suggests.
Previous research has linked heart health threats such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity with mental decline and dementia.
Amassing those risk factors at a faster pace boosts your risk for Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, according to findings published online April 20 in the journal Neurology.

Because of mechanics like him, the 154th Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron maintained a consistently high operational ready rate.
Now that this year’s tax filing season is over, it’s time to start thinking about next year’s return. After all, the more tax planning you do, the more money you may be able to save. But proper tax planning requires an awareness of what’s new and changed from last year — and there are plenty of tax law changes and updates for the 2022 tax year that savvy taxpayers need to know about.
Big tax breaks were enacted for the 2021 tax year by the American Rescue Plan Act, which was signed into law in March 2021. But most of those tax law changes expired at the end of 2021. As a result, the child tax credit, child and dependent care credit, earned income credit and other popular tax breaks are different for the 2022 tax year than they were for 2021. Other 2022 tweaks are the result of new rules or annual inflation adjustments. But no matter how, when or why the changes were made, they can hurt or help your bottom line — so you need to be ready for them. To help you out, we pulled together a list of the most important tax law changes and adjustments for 2022 (some related items are grouped together). Use this information now so you can hold on to more of your hard-earned cash next year when it’s time to file your 2022 return.

Beer may have certain health benefits, such as decreasing the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. However, heavy or excessive beer consumption can lead to conditions such as cancer, liver disease, and cardiovascular disease.
Manufacturers make beer by fermenting starches, usually malted barley, with yeast. The brewing process of modern beer involves using hops and other flavoring agents and typically contains about 3.5–10%Trusted Source alcohol.
While beer may have some health benefits, it can also negatively affect a person’s mental and physical health. Additionally, while this beverage contains some nutritional value, it is not suitable as an alternative to a nutritious, balanced diet.
Kurt Johnson was a distinguished member of the 199th Fighter Squadron, and the Hawai‘i Air National Guard.
Kurt joined the Air Force in 1951. After his commissioning and receiving his pilot wings, he flew North American F-86E Sabres during the Korean War. He left the Air Force in 1955 and joined the Hawai‘i Air National Guard the same month.
During his 29-year HIANG flying career, he flew North American F-86s, Convair F-102 Delta Daggers, and McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantoms. During the Vietnam War, he was one of the 199 FS pilots who volunteered to participate in Palace Alert.
During his career, he designed many things that remain part of the 199th Fighter Squadron today.
He designed the 199th Fighter Squadron logo, which was approved in 1951.
During the F-102 era, he designed the Hawaiian pattern tail flash that the HIANG, which reflect the mountains, volcanos, primary islands, and ocean channels.
In the F-4C era, he gave each assigned aircraft the name of the Hawaiian bird.
His fini flight was on June 23, 1984. Col. John “Saigon” Lee, who was the 154th Composite Group commander, wrote this about Kurt in his monthly newsletter column.
“In the flying arena, we were respectful of the “soft touch” he had flying any aircraft. He was as patient and understanding as any top flying instructor that we have known. He retains his distinguished title in the fighter squadron as a “fighter jock” … I don’t believe there is anyone as current and proficient as a fighter pilot at age 55 as Kurt.”

Yesterday’s Star-Advertiser featured an article about Eddie Kamae and a new website that features his music with the Sons of Hawaii musical group. Imbedded in the website are two links to an 1994 interview of Kurt Johnson talking about Eddie Kamae’s music.
While Kurt is not talking about flying, it is a refreshing memory of Kurt and his calm demeanor we all remember.
Interview with Kurt Johnson recorded on October 1, 1994 for the documentary “The History of the Sons of Hawaiʻi.” Colonel Kurt Johnson, a member of the 199th Fighter Squadron and the Hawaiʻi Air National Guard remembers hanging out at the Sandbox with about ten other pilots and mechanics from his squadron listening to the Sons of Hawaiʻi. Johnson speaks of each member of the Sons of Hawaiʻi. He recalls his mother saying about Gabby Pahinui, “… his voice is quintessentially Hawaiian.” Johnson also recalls his introductions of Eddie Kamae to Mary Kawena Pūkuʻi and Pilahi Paki, who became two of Eddie Kamae’s kumu (teachers).

While driving deaths went down in 2020 – which makes sense considering we were stuck at home for much of the year – there was one category of dangerous driving that actually rose: distracted driving.
Even though people were driving less, an analysis by MoneyGeek found a 12% increase in fatalities attributed to distracted driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 3,142 people were killed in crashes caused by distracted driving in 2020.
The NHTSA defines distracted driving as “any activity that diverts attention” while behind the wheel. That includes eating, talking and messing with your GPS. But the organization says texting and driving is the most “alarming” form of distracted driving because it takes your eyes off the road for several seconds at a time.

It’s only recently that doctors have begun to treat chronic pain as an illness in its own right — and about time, too. Around 50 million Americans live with some form of chronic pain, from migraine to back issues, fibromyalgia to osteoarthritis, lingering pain from old injuries to pelvic floor dysfunction.
While medications like NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and opioids are useful for treating acute pain, they often fail to provide meaningful relief for pain that’s become chronic, and in the case of opioids, can create more problems than they solve. Fortunately, there are multiple nonpharmacological treatments and approaches available today that can decrease chronic pain and help people learn to enjoy life again. Here are eight science-backed methods:

This year has been like no other when it comes to practically everything, including renting cars. Because of the pandemic, rental car agencies were forced to sell off their fleets to survive. Then, when travel abruptly bounced back in March, car rental companies couldn’t get cars from automakers, due to a global computer chip shortage. That’s why you’ve been seeing headlines like “Car Rental Apocalypse!”
Not only are rental cars much more expensive than they have been historically, but in some markets (ahem, Maui), you might not be able to even get one, which is why consumers have been getting inventive. If you’re planning on renting a car this spring or summer, here’s my advice:
Rule number one: When the price of membership goes up, re-evaluate.
After all, you’re likely up to your neck in subscription services: Cable TV, streaming services including Netflix and Disney+, meal-prep services and the granddaddy — Amazon Prime membership. And in case you missed it: Amazon raised its yearly subscription fee by 17%, from $119 to $139. If you pay monthly, that clip went from $12.99 to $14.99 a month, or $180 a year.
That’s your first reason to reconsider, even if Amazon Prime Day, that annual summer blockbuster sale with its 48-hour marathon of deals, deals, deals, remains a temptation.

n the myriad palms of the Hawaiian islands remains a cultural tradition as distinctive as the fragrant blossoms upon its shores. May Day, the first day of May, is a celebration of lei — the Hawaiian garland that serves both as decoration and as a symbol of aloha, the love and compassion unique to Hawai‘i and its native residents.
This rich island tradition of May Day dates back to 1927, when two Honolulu journalists, enthralled by the island’s tradition of giving and receiving lei, sought to set aside a special day to commemorate Hawaiian lei. The creation of this holiday commemorates the cultural and historical relevance of the lei and recognizes the vast knowledge needed to forage for florals, as well as the various intricate sewing and weaving techniques that form a lei.
