A Hawaiian favorite, fried rice
From the mid 1800s to early 1900s, people from countries all over the world like Japan, China, the Philippines, Portugal, Korea, Okinawa and Puerto Rico flocked to Hawaiʻi to work in the sugar plantations that made up most of the islands’ industry at the time. These cultures, along with the already present Hawaiian and Caucasian populations, spawned the multicultural and uniquely rich history of islands. With the weaving of culture came the mixing and sharing of food and flavors.
Unfortunately, there’s no quick fix when it comes to reducing arthritis pain, but recent research suggests that following a healthy, plant-based diet and adding in certain foods could help.
“The goal of your diet should be to eat foods that have been shown to reduce inflammation, which can help manage symptoms like joint pain, swelling, and tenderness,” says registered dietitian nutritionist Kim Larson, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics.
Are you getting enough vitamin D? Scientists say that up to 41 percent of American adults don’t get sufficient levels of this crucial nutrient — which may raise their risk of heart disease, obesity, depression, diabetes, osteoporosis, and some cancers. Plus, a September 2015 study published in JAMA Neurology found that deficiency in the vitamin was associated with faster decline in certain cognitive functions — like recalling past events and performing mental tasks like reasoning and problem solving — in older adults.
So exactly how much vitamin D do you need? The National Institutes of Health recommends that adults between 19 and 70 years old get at least 600 international units (IUs) of vitamin D per day, an amount that may be tough to get from the sun alone. If you think you may be deficient — sleepiness, crankiness, and high blood pressure are all clues that you could be — here are eight ways to start getting more vitamin D from food.
The Fourth of July, Independence Day, celebrates our country’s rebellion from tyrannical rule, and our establishment of a system of government by the people, for the people, and of the people. Though we often take it for granted, our country—for all its flaws—bestows more rights and freedoms on its citizens than anywhere else in the world.
Here are 12 movies that remind us what we’re celebrating.
Each of these patriotic films demonstrates the ideals and the spirit that made this country great, from the impulse to chip in and help out, to our legal systems, inventions, and freedom of the press. We have the power to think, fight, dream, and laugh without the urge to look over our shoulder too see who might be watching. These movies remind us that we can look up in the sky, breathe the summer air, maybe see some fireworks, and think, “It’s good to be free.”
Every member of your household should be prepared for disasters. That means pets, too!
Just as you would create a disaster supply kit for yourself, be sure to also assemble one for your pet. In addition to having enough food and water to last at least three days, the Ready Campaign recommends:
The Social Security Administration has “my Social Security” online services. If you currently receive benefits, you now can get a benefit verification letter; change your address and phone number; and start or change your direct deposit. That’s in addition to accessing your earnings record and viewing benefit estimates if you do not currently receive benefits.
People age 18 and older who are not receiving benefits can sign up for a “my Social Security” account to get a personalized online Social Security Statement. The online Statement provides eligible workers with secure and convenient access to their Social Security earnings and benefit information, and estimates of future benefits they can use to plan for their retirement. In addition, the portal also includes links to information about other online services, such as applications for retirement, disability and Medicare.

Federal safety regulators warned owners of more than 300,000 Hondas and Acuras that they should not drive their cars until their Takata airbags are replaced.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said new tests show these airbags have a much higher risk of exploding and killing a driver or passenger. These airbags have a 50% chance of exploding when they are deployed in an accident, according to the agency. Other Takata airbags have less than a 1% chance of exploding.
Turning 65 is a milestone in many respects, one of which is qualifying for Medicare, the federally sponsored health-insurance program. Yet for many, the Medicare process can be daunting, from how to enroll to which of the various options to select.
“It is complicated and there are some surprises for people as they age into Medicare,” said Fred Riccardi, director of client services at the Medicare Rights Center, a national consumer group.
To reduce some of the confusion, here’s a look at the most common questions about how and when to enroll and what it will cost. If you don’t follow the rules, you will get hit with penalties and permanently higher premiums.

The command responsibility for the Civil Air Patrol-US Air Force has been transferred from Air Education and Training Command to Air Combat Command and assigned to 1st Air Force, reflecting the extensive role CAP plays in homeland security missions. The change took place during a formal transfer of authority ceremony June 24 at Tyndall AFB, Fla.
“Civil Air Patrol is an important aerospace education organization, but it’s also a vital part of the operational Total Force,” said Lt. Gen. William Etter, commander of 1st Air Force (Air Forces Northern). Volunteer CAP units, operating as an Air Force auxiliary, “fly thousands of sorties every year in support of civil authorities and homeland defense, so I’m pleased to officially welcome them to the 1st Air Force and Air Forces Northern team today.”
Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James had approved the realignment on May 10, completing a three-year coordination effort involving CAP, AETC, ACC and 1st AF. CAP-USAF is responsible for ensuring that CAP is organized, trained, and equipped to fulfill Air Force-assigned missions, provides day-to-day support, advice, and liaison, and oversees CAP programs, with particular emphasis on safety and programmatic requirements.
CAP was formed in December 1941 to provide civil air support during World War II, and was designated an Air Force auxiliary by Congress in 1948

Off Track: Our Top 6 Okazuya Ahh okazuya. Growing up in the islands, a stop at your local Japanese-style delicatessen meant you got good marks on your report card, were going on a field trip or finally had enough quarters to purchase a super filling snack.
So THAT’S What All Those Codes On Your Boarding Pass Mean Your boarding pass may seem like a piece of paper that gets you from point A to point B, but that jumble of numbers and letters surrounding your name can actually tell you a lot about your trip. Your boarding pass lets all of the airline employees from security to the gate know who you are, what you’ll be eating and, to some extent, how well you will be treated.
Congratulations General Woodrow Photographs from Gregory “Woody” Woodrow’s pinning ceremony at Washington Place. Governor David Ige and his wife were present with Brigadier General Ryan Okahara presiding over the pinning ceremony.
After a decadent and delicious meal with all of your favorite ingredients — and dishes that are spicy, heavy, and with more grams of fat than you know are good for you — you may feel satisfied and happy. That is, until, the heartburn kicks in and sends you running to the medicine cabinet for your antacids, now groaning in discomfort.
Heartburn is a familiar feeling to many people. Heartburn symptoms include that uncomfortable burning sensation in the chest, which is often accompanied by a sour taste at the back of your mouth, creeping up from your throat. Heartburn symptoms can also include pain in the chest, though your heart itself is not part of the problem. Heartburn can also be a symptom of a medical condition, most commonly of gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD (acid reflux).
