Most people know Alzheimer’s disease affects the memory. But the symptoms can be physical, too.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the attacks
on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon
September 11 attacks, also called 9/11 attacks, series of airline hijackings and suicide attacks committed in 2001 by 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda against targets in the United States, the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil in U.S. history. The attacks against New York City and Washington, D.C., caused extensive death and destruction and triggered an enormous U.S. effort to combat terrorism. Some 2,750 people were killed in New York, 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania (where one of the hijacked planes crashed after the passengers attempted to retake the plane); all 19 terrorists died (see Researcher’s Note: September 11 attacks). Police and fire departments in New York were especially hard-hit: hundreds had rushed to the scene of the attacks, and more than 400 police officers and firefighters were killed.

This undated photograph shows ten Hawaii Air National Guard Deuces flying in formation.
The 199th Fighter Squadron flew Convair F-102 Delta Daggers from 1960 to 1976. This photograph was taken early in the Deuce era because the aircraft side marking are “Hawaii Air Guard”. Hawaii officially became a state on August. 21, 1959. The subsequent repainting of aircraft to “U.S. Air Force” took several months.
Before the side marking change, the Deuces had their first tail flash added to the vertical stabilizer. This earlier Retiree News post shows the tail flash.

Researchers in population studies, doctors, personal trainers, and others use the BMI in their work.
However, BMI has some important flaws. For example, it does not measure overall fat or lean tissue (muscle) content.
BMI is derived from a simple math formula. Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet, a Belgian astronomer, mathematician, statistician, and sociologist, devised it in the 1830s.
It aims to estimate whether a person has a healthy weight by dividing their weight in kilograms (kg) by their height in meters (m) squared.

Taxes in retirement can be a nightmare for many people with today’s complex rules and regulations. 401(k) plans, IRAs and other retirement accounts come with many tax traps that even the smartest investors fail to see. Therefore, it shouldn’t be a big shock that retirees aren’t always up to date on every part of the tax code and, as a result, end up paying more in taxes than is necessary. Now that you’ve put together your retirement nest egg, you want to make sure that you’re not overpaying Uncle Sam.
To help you evaluate your current tax knowledge, here are 12 questions retirees often get wrong about taxes in retirement. Take a look and see how much you really understand about your own tax situation.
If you listen carefully to flight attendant announcements, especially on airplanes that have lie-flat seats, you will probably hear them warn passengers to hold on to their phones during takeoff and landing. It should be common sense but it’s not and the big reason they do it may surprise you. It’s not because they’re worried you’re going to lose your $1,000 device and lifeline.
The concern is if the device goes flying and gets lost or lodged into your seat or your neighbor’s seat, they’re very difficult to find and retrieve. What the flight attendants don’t warn you about is that when the seat reclines or you put it in the upright position, the phone might get squashed and the battery can catch fire.

Maybe you’ve noticed that you’re rushing to the restroom lately. Or you’re waking up in the middle of the night to go. Perhaps you’re needing to take way more breaks at work to pee.
There are many potential causes of frequent urination. They include, but are not limited to, an increase in water intake, a urinary tract infection, or onset of a new disease such as diabetes, as the Mayo Clinic notes.
It’s worth asking yourself: “Have I started a new medication lately?”

One thing that Services Airmen have in common across the Air Force is that they serve in a multitude of roles. They perform a variety of tasks; from conducting physical fitness tests to helping ohana, to feeding the force, and everything in-between in order to support their fellow Airmen and keep operations running smoothly. For these Services Airmen assigned to the 154th Force Support Squadron, they also keep their skills sharp for the additional responsibilities tasked to them as part of highly specialized search and recovery teams.

About half of the U.K.’s adult population currently has cholesterol levels above national guidelines, and almost 8 million people in the country are taking lipid-lowering drugs to combat this.
Now, a new drug already deemed a game changer could prevent 55,000 heart attacks and strokes in the U.K., saving more than 30,000 lives within the next decade.
The drug is called inclisiran, and it is administered as an injection. It boosts the liver’s ability to reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, known as “bad” cholesterol.
