This Name Thing
I’ve been thinking a lot about names. It started while autographing books, and realizing that one cannot assume to know how to spell today’s most common names. Parents give their children some of the oddest names; those that are made up (Michandraqueeta), signs of the times (Hashtag), fruit (Apple), to memorialize a special person (Tallulah), or the weather (Hurricane). This onomastic inventiveness may be irksome to some observers because apostrophes are placed where none is needed or because of ridiculous, unpronounceable symbols.

Christ of Kona
The room in Lake Placid, New York, was crowded with athletes, friends, and family. Weary yet anxious Ironman racers waited as certified times were given and qualifiers’ names were announced. Alicia Trott, an Adventist young adult from Topsham, Maine, had never participated in a full Ironman but managed to turn in a personal best at 11 hours 47 minutes at the July 22, 2012, event. Though tired, Alicia was exhilarated, excited. And prepared with a credit card—in case she actually qualified for the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Safety on the Job: Earthquake Safety Tips
That Earthquake Awareness Week is observed in the month of January in Jamaica is perhaps more an acknowledgment that the most notable earthquake of January 14, 1907 that has hit us. This in no way suggests that the month of January is a season for earthquakes. That simply isn’t the case. In fact, there are no seasons for earthquakes as we have for hurricanes. That means that an earthquake can strike at any time. And when it does, what do we do?

Chronic diseases, what they are and how to avoid them
Chronic diseases usually progress slowly and occur over a long period of time. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) “chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, are by far the leading cause of mortality in the world, representing 63% of all deaths.” These disease conditions are called ‘non-communicable’ because you cannot ‘catch’ them from someone as you would the common cold. Scientists blame poor lifestyle choices as the main cause. Specifically, obesity appears to be a common risk factor for chronic diseases, especially diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and some cancers.
