A person with vertigo experiences a sense of spinning and dizziness. Vertigo is a symptom of a range of conditions. It can happen when there is a problem with the inner ear, brain, or sensory nerve pathway.
Dizziness, including vertigo, can happen at any age, but it is common in people aged 65 years or over.
People may experience vertigo temporarily or long term. It can occur during pregnancy or as a symptom of an ear infection. People with an inner ear disorder, such as Ménière’s disease, sometimes also experience vertigo.
Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines in America, and the south, west, and midwest regions are particularly enamored with it. It’s no surprise that states like California, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona have a wealth of incredible options, ranging from taco trucks to upscale sit-down restaurants. But, luckily for us, there’s at least one amazing Mexican food joint in every single state.
Burritos are a classic Mexican dish, invented over 100 years ago by Juan Méndez, a street vendor in Chihuahua, Mexico. There’s a flavor combination to suit nearly everyone’s taste buds, making burritos one of the most popular Mexican dishes. Plus, who doesn’t love to heap on the toppings like guacamole, sour cream, and salsa? (That’s a rhetorical question, of course.) And as much as we love huevos rancheros, some mornings, nothing beats a good breakfast burrito.

The decades-long debate about whether radiation from cell phones raises the risk of cancer has a new piece of evidence to chew over.
A new study from the United Kingdom has found no link between using a cell phone and developing a brain tumor.
Researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the University of Oxford tracked more than 750,000 women in the U.K. for 20 years. Their findings did not show any link, even for people who use their phones every day or have used them for more than 10 years.
A closer peek at your face may reveal clues about your health — if you know what to look for.
This undated photograph was taken about 50 years ago. It shows David Leong in the cockpit of a Convair F-102A Delta Dagger. Dave and other engine shop airmen were doing a night engine run at the trim pad.
Back then, selected trained mechanics could taxi aircraft around the flightline during maintenance procedures.

Are you in a tsunami evacuation zone? Each person’s disaster preparedness situation is different. It’s important to know which zone you are in to prepare for a tsunami. Visit http://Honolulu.gov/tsunamievac to identify your zone.
Comment: If you live or work near the shoreline, you should log on the the link above. Tsunami evacuation now has two zones – Tsunami Warning and Extreme Tsunami Warning. Earlier maps might have you outside the tsunami evacuation BUT with a extreme tsunami, you location may be in the expanded zone (yellow on these new maps). Kailua, Waimanalo, Ewa/Kapolei, Hawaii Kai and Downtown Honolulu are areas of special interest.
The fraudsters out there have turned to a new type of scam, and your financial institutions want you to be vigilant.
The criminals are trying to convince you they’re from the fraud department at your financial institution, in hopes you’ll give them access to your account so they can then drain it. Banks and other institutions have invested in security over recent years to protect their customers from criminals trying to breach the systems and commit such crimes as taking over consumers’ accounts.

Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when an electrical malfunction causes the heart to stop beating. It prevents blood flow to the organs, and this can be fatal without immediate treatment.
Below, we look at what happens during sudden cardiac arrest, including the signs and symptoms and what to do next. We also explore treatments, survival rates, and risk factors.
If anyone shows signs of cardiac arrest, such as a loss of consciousness or detectable pulse, dial 911 or contact a local hospital’s emergency department immediately.
This undated photograph shows (front to rear): a Republic Aviation F-47N Thunderbolt, a North American Aviation F-86 Sabre Jet, and a Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. The 199th Fighter Squadron was in the mission of the aircraft conversation from the Thunderbolt to the Sabre. Because the Sabre was a single seat aircraft, the 199 FS received several Shooting Stars or T-Birds for training.
Over the years, this is one of many photographs taken during the 199th Fighter Squadron’s aircraft conversations.
Taken from the HANG 25 Booklet, the History of the Hawaii Air National Guard, November 4, 1946 to November 3, 1971
The first T-Bird (No. 273) arrived November 12, 1953, and there was no one in the flying squadrons who was acquainted with its detailed maintenance. A Sacramento Air Depot Representative arrived to conduct T-Bird classes and on-the-job training. This single T-33 was in constant demand, as all pilots were required to have their first introduction to jet flying in T-Birds. A second T-33, which arrived later, eased this initial check-out workload considerably.
The first Sabre Jets arrived February 10, 1954 via the U.S. Navy Carrier ‘Cape Esperance’ and were greeted by a large, enthusiastic contingent of HANGmen. There were many willing hands to “de-cocoon” them of their sprayed waterproof protective coverings. TSgt Simanu Afoa Jr., a Korean Veteran, recognized F-86E No. 740 as having been flown by Maj James Jabara, the first American Ace of the Korean War.

What will happen to your assets when you die? This may not be a fun question to contemplate, but it is an important one, and one a financial advisor who specializes in estate planning won’t let you ignore.
“When investors think about an estate plan, they may only think about a set of legal documents,” says Marguerite Weese, chief operating officer of Emerald Family Office & Advisory and national director of Family Legacy Strategies at Wilmington Trust. “However, estate planning encompasses everything from the accumulation and preservation of wealth to the spend-down and the ultimate transfer of one’s assets.”
Within your estate plan, you’re likely to have certain goals you want to achieve, she says. You may want to ensure you leave your son enough money to pay for your granddaughter’s education, or to support a charitable cause. A financial advisor’s expertise and estate planning tools can help you create an estate plan that will meet all of your goals. Here are some points to consider as you begin your search:
Medicare announced Thursday that it will limit its coverage of the pricey new drug Aduhelm to Alzheimer’s patients enrolled in clinical trials of the drug.
Approved amid controversy last year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the latest decision was meant to protect patients while gathering more clinical data on whether the medication actually helps slow declines in thinking, according to officials with the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Every human urinates several times a day. While there’s no set amount that’s deemed “normal”, according to medical experts, the average person urinates between four to eight times a day. There are several factors that can influence your need to “go”, so some days you may urinate more than others – even more than eight times.

Blazon: On a blue disc within a narrow gold border a red Hawaiian idol (Lono) eyes and mouth blue, all outlined and detailed gold holding a gold calabash, inside blue, issuing from the calabash to form reversed chevron a lightning flash and a warrior’s spear, both gold. Below the emblem a blue scroll edged gold and inscribed in gold capital letters.
Significance: Against the blue field which alludes to the sky, primary theater of Air Force operations, the colors of Hawaii, red and yellow, traditional of the old Hawaiian feather capes and helmets, refer to the State where the squadron was constituted in 1964. The Hawaiian idol Lono, God of fertility, peace, and abundance, holding the calabash signifies the squadron’s supply function. The lightning and spear in the form of a reversed chevron symbolize the unit’s speed and strength in the logistical support of its parent group and sister squadrons. The emblem bears the Air Force colors, gold and ultramarine blue.
Motto: HOOHOLOA, To give or provide what is desired.
The emblem was designed by MSgt Howard A. Okita and approved 26 May 1967.
Howard Okita was full time technician with the supply function over the years. He retired with 40 years of military service as chief master sergeant. Howard was an outstanding softball coach at the high school and the college level.
