I prescribe a range of medicines in my clinic, for various different conditions, but there are many health problems for which a lifestyle change may be far more effective than a tablet! Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, famously said "Let food be thy medicine" and there are plenty of studies to show that our food choices can have a big impact on our health. I would certainly echo that recommendation. Well, now it seems another adage may be worth taking more seriously… "Laughter is the best medicine"!
According to a recent study, laughter could actually be beneficial to our health in more ways than by just elevating our mood! The study from the University of California, found that humour could possibly help to reduce the adverse brain effects of the stress hormone cortisol – in turn, improving our memory!
The researchers looked at the effects of laughter and humour in older people, analysing their cortisol levels before and after watching a humorous 20-minute video, and discovered that those who watched the video had a significant reduction in cortisol levels afterwards, compared to those who did not watch the video. They also showed an increase in memory recall, learning ability and sight recognition compared to those who didn't watch the video – showing just how much of an effect laughter could have on our mental health.
However, this was a very small study over a short time period… and the results can not therefore be taken as gospel. Trawling through the research to find out more, I can find no definitive confirmation that laughter is the best medicine, sadly. Some studies have shown that laughter can improve your immune system by raising antibody levels in the blood, others that it can reduce feelings of pain, and yet more have shown it can improve blood flow, sleep and reduce blood sugar levels. But, again, these studies were not of the highest quality.
I don't think there is enough evidence yet to have me reaching for my prescription pad…but it can't do any harm at all to give a good dose of laughter a try.


It's about what it can do.
We all care about how we look.
Unless you grew up in a cornfield.
It's ingrained in us since childhood from society and culture.
It's a given I don't look like most women. Most women don't lift heavy weight.
When I first started CrossFit, I never thought about my body or what would happen to it. I just love the sport and went every day. It wasn't until people started commenting on my physique that I started to pay attention. I started looking around. It was then that I noticed I had changed. Big time.
A lot of women don't do CrossFit because they don't want to look like me. I get that.
But for me, it's about what my body can do. I can do pull ups. I can squat heavy. I can do muscle ups. I can deadlift. I can run. I can do almost every move. And I'm strong.
I'm proud of my hard work. And it shows. When I can do something others can't, it makes me feel special. But it also is a reward for all the hard work I do.
Ask anyone who knows me: I work harder than most. I'm in the box before and after the WOD. I work out at home. I do skills every day. Rarely do I have a day off without doing anything.
All this culminates in muscle ups and heavy snatches and pull ups and double unders and handstand walks.
This is why I'm so excited about the Open. I want to know just how far I've come since last year compared to others my age. I want to know that my sacrifices are worth it.
My body takes a beating. No question about it. If you've been following me for a while, you've read all about my pulled muscles, strained ligaments and tendons, soreness, bruises, rips, etc. CrossFit does this to you.
CrossFit also changes your body. If you lift heavy weights, it has to.
All that matters to me is how CrossFit makes me feel. I feel empowered. I feel strong. I feel capable of accomplishing any task in my life. My self-esteem is at an all time high. I believe in myself. So much so I'm running for Town Board in my town.
All this because of a sport that challenges the brain as much as the body.
If it's not hard work, then you're wasting your time.
Push yourself in all aspects of life.
You only live once. Make the most of it. Do what makes you feel accomplished and beautiful and strong and healthy and a contributing member of society.

Gaming Hardware Unicorn Razer Forms Consortium to Apply for Singapore Digital Full Bank License
Razer, the gaming hardware unicorn company, announced recently that it had formed a consortium with other strategic partners through its fintech arm, Razer Fintech, with the purpose of applying for a full digital banking license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Aside from the Razer Fintech-led consortium, other interested parties that also applied for the full digital banking license include regional ride-hailing app unicorn Grab and Singtel, which also partnered together to form a consortium to apply for the digital bank license. It is understood that Grab will have a sixty percent stake in the consortium, with the remaining forty percent being held by the telecommunications company Singtel. Singapore's central bank will issue up to five digital banking licenses in total, with two of those being full digital banking licenses while the other three are wholesale digital banking licenses, and is expected to announce the successful applicants sometime in mid-2020.
According to Razor Fintech, the company plans to establish what it describes as the first youth-focused global bank – Razer Youth Bank – which is aimed at addressing the financial needs of underserved youth and millennials. Razor Fintech claims that it is very well equipped to serve this segment of the market because of its experience through its youth and millennial lifestyle-focused brand, with which it can leverage to personalize fintech solutions and services and to accelerate the adoption of its digital banking services among the nation's youth.
It also believes that its ecosystem of linked industry players and partners and key lifestyle collaborators affords it a competitive edge and understanding of how best to deliver customized fintech solutions and services for the vast and underserved youth segment.
Razor Youth Bank will be based in Singapore, though the unicorn company has plans to eventually expand its services to reach a global audience. Razor Fintech will hold a sixty percent majority stake in the consortium, while its five other strategic partners will hold the remaining forty percent.
The strategic partners in the Razer Fintech-led consortium are FWD Group, an insurance company owned by billionaire Richard Li, son of tycoon Li Ka-Shing; LinkSure Global, the mobile Internet company led by Chen Danian that launched the world's first and largest WiFi sharing app, WiFi Master Key; Sheng Siong Holdings, parent company of Sheng Siong Supermarket, which is the third largest supermarket chain in Singapore; Carro, Southeast Asia's largest automotive marketplace and Singapore-based car financing startup; and Insignia Ventures Partners, a Singapore-based venture capital firm that specializes in startup investment.
Additionally, Razer's youth-focused digital bank plans to work with several partners to build and develop its services and offerings, some of which include Visa, Real Vision, JustCo, and Quantifeed, as well as other key companies and service providers.
Lee Li Meng, chief executive officer of Razor Fintech, said that the current generation of youth and millennials are being underserved even in well-developed economies like Singapore's. Their aim is to help those aged between twelve and thirty-five years old to become more acquainted with the rapidly evolving finance and fintech industry of today, and to develop customized financial products and solutions to suit their needs.
He also noted that the establishment of a digital bank is a natural step forward for their payments business, and that their application, if successful, will greatly contribute to the development of Singapore as a world-class financial center for the delivery of innovative and advanced financial and fintech services and solutions.
Razer, the computer hardware unicorn, has lately been diversifying to become more service and software-oriented company with a focus on youth and gamers in order to lessen its dependence on gaming hardware and peripherals. The formation of its fintech arm, Razor Fintech, has seen the company grow and develop a substantial digital payments network in the region which has thus far transacted more than a billion dollars in payment value to date. If Razor Fintech's bid for a full digital banking license is successful, the unicorn company has a real chance of disrupting and dramatically altering Singapore's financial landscape.

Palestinians: More Missed Opportunities
Politics and the Culture Wars
By Bassam Tawil
Originally Published by the Gatestone Institute.
Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas continues to mouth his "desire" to achieve peace with Israel on the basis of a two-state solution. Abbas's ruling Fatah faction and PLO partners, however, evidently have a different agenda: to wage war on Israel until the "liberation of all of Palestine."
In a speech delivered on his behalf by Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian envoy to the United Nations, on November 30, Abbas repeated his commitment to a two-state solution based on international law and the 1967 "borders."
Abbas called on the UN "to force Israel to recognize the State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders as the basis for a two-state solution, and to agree on a demarcation of borders in line with the resolutions of the international community."
Abbas's claim to a commitment to the "two-state solution" is a staple of his talks to the international community. It is just not clear who Abbas represents when he talks about the Palestinians' commitment to a "two-state solution."
In addition to his title as president of the Palestinian Authority, Abbas also holds the jobs of chairman of the PLO and Fatah, his ruling faction in the West Bank. Do Abbas's statements regarding peace with Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel represent any of three these bodies? Hardly.
Abbas's four-year term in office (as president of the Palestinian Authority) expired in January 2009. Since then, he is widely considered by Palestinians as an illegitimate president who does not have the authority to sign any peace agreement with Israel on behalf of a majority of his people. Many Palestinians will legitimately reject any agreement he signs with Israel on the grounds that the 82-year-old Abbas, who is now in his 12th year of his four-year term in office, is not a lawful leader.
Against this backdrop of zero confidence, any agreement Abbas signs with Israel would not be worth the paper it is written on.
Besides, the Palestinian Authority that he heads has no jurisdiction over the two million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip or millions of Palestinians residing in Arab countries and elsewhere around the world. At the very most, the PA would be able to implement such an agreement only on those parts it controls in the West Bank.
That is concerning to the PA, a self-ruled body that was established in accordance with the 1993 Oslo Accords signed between Israel and the PLO.
As for the PLO, of which Abbas is chairman, it is worth noting that it is an umbrella organization made up of various Palestinian factions. With the exception of Fatah, the largest faction (also headed by Abbas), the remaining groups are emphatically opposed to a peace process with Israel. Even worse, the other PLO groups continue to advocate an armed struggle against Israel.
Take, for example, the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a famous PLO terror group that does not believe in Israel's right to exist and continues to engage in terrorism. The PFLP never misses an opportunity to state its support for violence and rejection of any peace agreement with Israel.
Here is what the PFLP thinks about efforts to achieve peace between the Palestinians and Israel:
"The PFLP confirms its categorical rejection of all international and Arab projects and 'solutions' that attempt to undermine the rights of Palestinian refugees and principally, their right of return, in the interest of proposals consistent with the Zionist vision if this fundamental issue."
The PFLP, like Hamas and other Palestinian groups, makes no secret of its goal to "liberate Palestine, from the (Jordan) River to the (Mediterranean) Sea." All should be commended for their honesty. If anyone has any doubts, their plan means the total destruction of Israel.
Another PLO terror group, the Leninist Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), for example, is equally dangerous and rejects any peaceful settlement with Israel. This is what the group had to say in a recent statement marking the 69th anniversary of the "Nakba" (the "catastrophe," a reference to the establishment of Israel in 1948):
"Let's make the 69th anniversary of the Nakba a year to liberate our cause from the Oslo compromising ties, a year of national salvation and mobilization of our national forces against the Zionist project on every single inch of Palestine land."
Some may argue that both the PFLP and DFLP are relatively small groups within the PLO, and that their words are insignificant. However, it is the actions of the terror groups, not only the rhetoric, that matters. With a long history of terrorism against Israel, the PFLP and DFLP will never accept any peace agreement with Israel. How can they accept any agreement when they are already calling for the abrogation of the Oslo Accords?
The PFLP and DFLP are not the only PLO terror groups opposed to any peaceful settlement with Israel. Among the other PLO terror groups are: The Palestinian People's Party, the Palestine Liberation Front, the Arab Liberation Front and the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front. Their shared ideology: rejection of Israel's right to exist and commitment to terrorism as a way of "liberating all of Palestine."
Thus, as chairman of the PLO, Abbas cannot say that he represents the entire organization. He has no leverage with the PFLP, DFLP and the remaining terror groups operating under the umbrella of his PLO. These terror groups would never — ever — sign on to a peace agreement between Abbas and Israel.
That leaves us with Abbas's dominant Fatah faction. And now we come to the million dollar question: Does Abbas really represent all of Fatah? The answer is simple and clear: No.
Over the past few decades, Fatah has witnessed sharp divisions and disputes, resulting in a number of splinter groups that broke away and are now openly challenging Abbas's leadership and policies.
Tensions within Fatah have intensified markedly in recent years, especially with the revolt spearheaded by Abbas's arch-rival, Mohammed Dahlan. Dahlan, a former Fatah official and security commander ousted by Abbas, is currently based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and enjoys the backing of many Palestinian cadres, especially in the Gaza Strip. Dahlan and his supporters are working hard to remove Abbas from power with the help of the UAE and some Arab countries.
Moreover, Abbas's two-state solution remarks and his avowals of opposition to terrorism also fail to reflect the views of some of Fatah's top officials and media. A report presented by Palestinian Media Watch to the U.S. House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East details Fatah's ongoing incitement and glorification of terror against Israel.
The divisions within Fatah are not limited to the political echelon only; they also extend to the faction's various armed groups. This means that Abbas also does not represent all the armed groups of the faction that he is supposed to be heading under Fatah.
Here, for example, is what one of Fatah's armed groups, Aqsa Martyrs Brigades — Battalion of Martyr Nidal Al-Amoudi thinks about Abbas's two-state solution and peace with Israel: "We promise our people to pursue the path of armed struggle and the pure rifle until the liberation of all Palestine and its holy sites." That statement by Abbas's terror group was issued in the Gaza Strip on December 2. The occasion: Launching a "training" camp for Fatah terrorists named after Yasser Arafat.
Let us get things clear: While Abbas is making noises about a peace process, his own Fatah faction is inciting violence and calling for the destruction of Israel. While Abbas is talking about his interest in achieving a two-state solution, his partners in the PLO, including the PFLP and DFLP, are openly calling for the destruction of Israel and advocating an armed struggle. While Abbas is claiming that he is the legitimate president of the Palestinians, many Palestinians, including senior officials in his Fatah faction, are legitimately stating he has no mandate from his people to sign any agreement with Israel.
Abbas is a failed leader who has missed opportunity after opportunity to shepherd his people toward a better and dignified life. While his words may sound good to some Israelis and many in the international community, we are left with the burning question: Exactly who does he represent and on behalf of whom is he exactly talking? The answer is that Abbas is a single-strategy demagogue whose one goal is to hold onto the power to sell mirages to the world until his last breath.

Obama accepts Democratic Party's nomination: Says 'Our problems can be solved'
Sep 7, 2012 - 6:43 am EDT @theindpanorama United States 0
President Obama assured Americans at the Convention of a better tomorrow. "Our challenges can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place. And I'm asking you to choose that future."
CHARLOTTE, NC (TIP): President Obama took the stage shortly before 10:30 p.m. Thursday, September 6 and accepted his party's nomination. A week after his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, accepted his party's nomination, Obama promised Americans, wary of giving him another term, that "our problems can be solved" if only voters will grant him four more years.
"Know this, America: Our problems can be solved," he told thousands of delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. "Our challenges can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place. And I'm asking you to choose that future.
" His appeal aimed to build on a rousing speech from Michelle Obama and former president Bill Clinton. The first lady assured disenchanted voters who backed her husband in 2008 but are wary or wavering today that four years of political knife fights and hard compromises had not stripped her husband of his moral core. And Clinton cast the current president as the heir to the policies that charged the economy of the 1990s and yielded government surpluses. "I won't pretend the path I'm offering is quick or easy. I never have," Obama told the cheering crowd in the Time Warner Cable Arena and a television audience expected to number in the tens of millions. "You didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth. And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over a decade.
" Obama's main vulnerability is the stills puttering economy with a stubbornly high unemployment rate at 8.3 percent nearly four years after he took office vowing to restore it to health. In Charlotte, he ridiculed the Republican approach championed by Mitt Romney. "All they have to offer is the same prescriptions they've had for the last thirty years: Have a surplus? Try a tax cut. Deficit too high? Try another. Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!" he said, to laughter and cheers from the crowd.
And it was with ridicule, too, that he portrayed Romney and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan as heirs to George W. Bush's foreign policy, and unfit to manage America's relations with the world. "My opponent and his running mate are new to foreign policy, but from all that we've seen and heard, they want to take us back to an era of blustering and blundering that cost America so dearly," he said. "After all, you don't call Russia our number one enemy-not al Qaeda, Russia unless you're still stuck in a Cold War mind warp, he said. "You might not be ready for diplomacy with Beijing if you can't visit the Olympics without insulting our closest ally. My opponent said it was "tragic" to end the war in Iraq, and he won't tell us how he'll end the war in Afghanistan. I have, and I will." (In fact, Romney has supported an Obama endorsed, NATO-approved timetable to withdraw the alliance's combat troops by the end of 2014.) The speech reflected Obama's drive to convince voters to see the election as a choice, and not as a referendum on an embattled incumbent whose job approval ratings are below the 50-percent mark, a traditional danger zone.
"On every issue, the choice you face won't be just between two candidates or two parties. It will be a choice between two different paths for America. A choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future," he said. At the same time, he did not spell out in detail his plans for a second term should he get one–even as he acknowledged that he is not the candidate he was when he pursued his history-making 2008 drive for the White House. "You know, I recognize that times have changed since I first spoke to this convention. Times have changed-and so have I," he said. "If you turn away now-if you buy into the cynicism that the change we fought for isn't possible, well, change will not happen." Obama's speech came after an evening studded with stars, from Hollywood's Scarlett Johansson, who pressed young voters to register and cast ballots in November, to James Taylor, who quipped: "I'm an old white guy and I love Barack Obama" in between renditions of his folksy classics. And he was preceded onstage by Vice President Joe Biden, who gave a long-form version of this memorable reelection slogan: "Osama Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive."
In addition to the economy, the president highlighted his support for access to abortion, and offered his longest remarks on the fight against climate change in recent memory. "Yes, my plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet because climate change is not a hoax. More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke. They're a threat to our children's future. And in this election, you can do something about it." Obama had moved his speech from nearby Bank of America Stadium into the Time Warner Cable Arena citing concerns about the weather. Republicans charged he merely feared not being able to fill the 74,000-seat space. Democrats countered that they had more than 65,000 ticket holders.

Male Call
Risa's Astrology
As Heard on KUAF
LIVE! In NWA
'Tis the Season
Local To Open Brewery
Tanglewood Branch Beer Co.
He's been talking about it for a while, and it looks like the dream is rapidly becoming a reality.
J.T. Wampler — Wamp for those who read our "Beer O' The Week" feature — is on the verge of opening his own beer brewery in south Fayetteville. If all goes according to plan, by late fall/early winter, area folk can be sipping on the nectar offered at the Tanglewood Branch Beer Co.
Having been lucky enough to sample some of his home-brewed fare, including his version of a wee heavy, and India pale ale and some others, there's no doubt Wampler will be successful in delighting the taste buds of local beer enthusiasts. The man just flat out knows good beer. Everything I've tasted was a full 5 caps on our rating system, though I'm glad I turned down the offer for him to dress as a scantily clad concubine to get 6 caps (I kid! I kid!)
Then, I imagine it's only a matter of time until he starts packaging the beer for shipment and the legend of Tanglewood starts growing elsewhere.
Less Than 100 Years
Less than a century. Women have had the right to vote in this country for less than a century.
That fact has always amazed me. But with the anniversary of the Aug. 18, 1920, ratification date of the 19th Amendment — which barred any U.S. citizen being denied the right to vote based on sex — we'll have just 91 years of women's suffrage under our belts.
And it was a long fight to get there. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Caddy Stanton introduced the amendment in 1878, but it took more than four decades to achieve a successful vote in Congress.
Even then, though, the fight wasn't over. In 1922, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Leser v. Garnett, which sought to challenge the constitutionality of the 19th Amendment.
It's important to remember this country didn't start with all the liberties it enjoys today. People have fought for rights throughout the years, not just on the battlefield, but in the streets, in the courts, in legislatures to uphold to the fullest the notion all men were created equal and that there should be liberty and justice for all. It's also just as important to remember, there have always been people who've fought against expanding rights, and in some cases, who've initiated action to curtail liberties.
In reviewing challenges involving the First Amendment — cases where people people sought to broaden its powers and others where some sought to restrict freedom of speech, of the press, etc. — one of my journalism professors made an often repeated observation on the battle to retain rights. "Dragons never die. They're only sleeping."
