Wearing sunscreen is one of the healthiest things you can do for your skin. A good sunscreen with potent UVA and UVB protection can keep you from getting burned, minimize the development of wrinkles and other signs of aging, and can reduce your risk of skin cancer, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). That last part is important because more than 5 million new cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) are diagnosed each year, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Here, dermatologists share the biggest sunscreen slipups we tend to make, and how to outsmart them.

After 33 years of service and more than 7,100 hours of flight time, Brig. Gen. Gregory S. Woodrow took his final flight as commander of the 154th Wing. Under his leadership, Woodrow was known for empowering his Airmen to try new things and always making it a priority for them to take care of one another. Good luck on all your future endeavors and Mahalo for making a lasting impact in our HIANG Ohana.
Fini Flight – A pilot’s last flight in the aircraft before he/she leaves a squadron, a wing, or retires.
“Fini” flights are the symbolic end of an aviator’s flying career. The final flight usually coincides with a retirement but sometimes the individual is moving to a non-flying position. For the aviator, it is an emotional day shared with family, friends, and squadron mates.
It’s assumed that the tradition of fini flights came from the U.S. Army Air Force days of the World War II era.
They were designed to accompany milestones in the career of the entire aircrew, respected individuals of rank or repute, or a commander’s departure to another command or retirement.
The tradition was first officially noted in Vietnam, when the aircrew commemorated the completion of 100 missions. While the 100th safe last-landing was a reason to celebrate, it is now usually a separate flight altogether marking the final activity before departure.
The celebration has evolved and now includes champagne or similar, a toast and dowsing with water from a fire truck for the aircraft and aircrew. Usually, family or families of the departing aircrew or personnel also meet them on the hardstand and douse them with water.

A study out of the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom found there is a link between dementia and certain classes of anticholinergic drugs.
The drugs — particularly antidepressants, bladder antimuscarinics, antipsychotics and antiepileptic drugs — resulted in nearly “50% increased odds of dementia,” according to the observational study published Monday in the peer-reviewed JAMA Internal Medicine journal.

What Is a Stroke? Stroke is a medical emergency and a leading cause of death in the U.S. It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts or, more commonly, when a blockage develops. Without treatment, cells in the brain quickly begin to die. The result can be serious disability or death. If a loved one is having stroke symptoms, seek emergency medical attention without delay.

Those who attended elementary school in the 1950s remember hunkering down under your school desks…
Everyone will die, some sooner than others. It is a natural, normal and universal part of life. Yet, most people have little experience with the dying process or know what to expect when a person is dying.
During this period, it can feel like you are walking into a dark and unfamiliar tunnel. The following information shines a light in that tunnel, describing the phases that most people exhibit during the dying process. While every person and situation is unique, there are some generalities, and some knowledge of that process can help you be truly present as a loved one navigates this final journey.
