Politician convicted

WHITE PLAINS:

Ajury took only about 90 minutesTuesday to convict former New YorkCity Councilman Daniel Halloran ofbribery charges in a scheme to buy a spoton the mayoral ballot for state Sen.Malcolm Smith.

Halloran was also found guilty of tak-ing payoffs from what he thought weredevelopers who wanted him to funnel citymoney their way. The men were actually anFBI agent and an FBI informant.

The 42-year-old Halloran spent fivedays on the witness stand in federal court inWhite Plains. He faces up to 20 years inprison when he's sentenced Dec. 12.

Halloran, a Queens Republican, admit-ted taking money but said he earned it forwork as a political operative. He said, "It'sregrettable this is the way politics works,but it's not illegal."

His attorney, Vinoo Varghese, said inhis closing argument that Halloran "nevercrossed the line" into crime. He said as thetrial started, "My client's got a big mouth,I'll admit that. He's a politician."

Prosecutors said Halloran took nearly$45,000 in bribes and illegal campaigndonations.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara issued astatement saying Halloran is "unfortunatelynot alone in a crowded field of New Yorkofficials who are willing to sell out theiroffices for self-enrichment."

Halloran was accused of schemingwith Smith, a Democrat, to bribe countyRepublican leaders, who would have had toapprove Smith's plan to run for the GOPline.

Smith and former Queens Republicanleader Vincent Tabone, who went on trialwith Halloran last month, were granted amistrial and are expected to be retried inJanuary.

Two other politicians who were arrest-ed with Smith have pleaded guilty: BronxRepublican leader Joseph Savino, who tes-tified for the prosecution against Halloran,and Joseph Desmaret, former deputy mayorof Spring Valley. A sixth defendant, formerSpring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmin, isbeing tried separately.

people are talking...!

I will remember my passion. My passion ismy gift. My passion will make me become thebest. Once I know my passion, it will be mykey to success.

Passion is infectious. When you feel pas-sionate about something, you automati-cally communicate your feelings authenti-cally and convincingly to others. Your pas-sion pulls you toward your goals and moti-vates you to pull others along with you.

A leader who is passionate can moreeasily inspire others to become passionateabout achieving the goals. In contrast, peopleare reluctant to follow a leader who does notdemonstrate a strong passion to achieve avision for the future of the group or theorganization.

While it is important for leaders tounderstand their passions, they must also beable to communicate their passions to others.It is not enough for a leader to feel passion-ate about something. They must also informothers that they believe something is worthcaring about. As a result, communicationsskills are essential for understanding how tolead with passion.

To be an effective leader, you mustmake a conscious decision to communicateyour passions to others. If you are indeedpassionate about a subject, you will be natu-rally animated and enthusiastic when dis-cussing the subject. There are also timeswhen you may have to be more restrainedwhen discussing a topic based on the situa-tion. Part of the skills necessary to commu-nicate your passion to others is the ability todetermine how much information youshould convey and how enthusiastic youshould be in different situations.

Effective leaders are generally passion-ate about performance regardless of the situ-ation. They work steadily toward achieving agoal with others recognizing that they areinternally motivated. This distinguishescommunicating passion from communicat-

ing frantic excitement that is temporary andrelated only to a situation. Passion is consis-tent and enduring and is demonstrated byactions as much as by words.

An approach to communicating passionis to establish a vision for the future andinform others about the importance and ben-efits of implementing the vision. Thisapproach requires that you have a clearunderstanding of the short-term and long-term goals related to your passion. It alsorequires that you carefully select the amount

of information you provide to others aboutthe goals to ensure that they perceive theway that they will benefit from achieving thegoal.

You should also be aware that others oftenfind it easier to understand small short-termgoals that are easy to obtain rather than largegoals that are more difficult to achieve.

Yet, another innocent member of theAfrican American community hasbeen abused and murdered by a group ofunsympathetic and perhaps racially biasbunch of New York City police officers.

In a video obtained by the media, awhite officer Daniel Pantaleo is shownchoking a father of six, Eric Garner, 43which lead to his death. The autopsy identi-fied Garners asthma, obesity and hyperten-sion as also contributing factors in hisdeath.

As long as we can recall, hundreds ofwhite New York police and other lawenforcement officers have been picking onmembers of the African American commu-nities. These officers have been accused,charged and found guilty of various crimesagainst ordinary black people.

With some 53% of the entire 34,526-member police force being, white it would

appear that white cops have no problem indisplaying racial profiling, discrimination,bias and other form of prejudice againstAfrican Americans.

Despite stringent state and city lawsand regulations, the police continue toabuse their powers and unfairly target theAfrican Americans. As in the case of thestop-and-frisk, they stopped and issued anexcessive number of tickets to innocentAfrican Americans.

But, these white police officers contin-ue to break the laws, as in most cases theyare not caught and if caught they can eas-ily beat the case.

Nonetheless, the leadership of thepolice department is dominated by whiteofficers, with 432 captains, 82% (356) werewhite and 18% (76) were minorities and of10 chiefs, 7 were white and 3 were peopleof color.

Whites accounted for 60% of membersin the rank of police officer.

In our observation, both, the Mayorand the Police Commissioner who heappointed is always white.

We find it very difficult to believe thatthere could be a conspiracy between thesepeople to oppress and ill-treat AfricanAmericans and other minorities.

However, the vast majority of theAfrican Americans in New York City areregistered Democrats and are always verysupportive of their politicians as in the caseMayor Bill de Blasio who captured over75% of the black votes.

The Mayor should therefore be heldresponsible for appointing a PoliceCommissioner that continues to tolerate orfail to control racist cops who unfairly tar-gets African-Americans.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):

The coalition People's PartnershipGovernment, gearing up for a generalelection by mid-2015, has introduced legis-lation providing for a 10-year term limit forthe head of government as well as allowingvoters to recall their elected representatives.

In addition, Prime Minister KamlaPersad-Bissessar told Parliament recentlythat the Constitution Amendment Bill willalso make provisions for a run-off in a gen-eral election, where the leading candidatefails to secure more than 50 per cent of thevotes on the first count.

The main Opposition People's NationalMovement (PNM) has in the past publiclydisagreed with the measures announced inParliament, and its leader, Dr Keith Rowley,was scheduled to hold a news conferencefollowing the adjournment of the Parliamentto state the party's position on the matter.

Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar saidthe new measures were contained in the2010 manifesto of the four-party coalitiongovernment, headed by the United NationalCongress (UNC) and that the constitutionalamendment would provide "more power tothe people".

She told legislators that the new meas-ures were as a result of the recommenda-tions of a Constitutional Reform Committeeheaded by Legal Affairs Minister PrakashRamadhar and leader of the Congress of thePeople (COP) party, the second biggestmember in the coalition government.

"The Constitutional Amendment Bill2014... will propose a term limit for office ofthe prime minister, a recall provision and arun-off poll in elections for the House ofRepresentatives," she said, adding that thesemeasures required only a simple majority.

WASHINGTON:

With the Venezuelan economy wors-ening and residents of Caracasunable to buy diapers or even toilet paperdue to foreign-exchange shortages, howmuch longer will Venezuela be able tosubsidize cheap oil for its political alliesthroughout the Caribbean and CentralAmerica.

Last week, energy experts meeting inWashington discussed that very question.What happens to the 17 countries whoare members of this program if Caracaspulls back the generous credit subsidies itgives members to help them import itscrude oil products? asked JasonMarczak, deputy director of the AtlanticCouncils Adrienne Arsht Latin AmericaCenter. This is a not-so-distant possibili-ty given Venezuelas economic situationand slowing oil production, but its oneCaracas would certainly like to avoid.This has all the makings of an energy cri-sis brewing off our shores.

On July 16, the think tank released a24-page study Uncertain Energy: TheCaribbeans Gamble With Venezuela. Tomark the occasion, it hosted a panel dis-

cussion featuring three experts: DavidGoldwyn, the studys author and a formerState Department coordinator of interna-tional energy affairs; Jorge Pin, whoheads the Center for International Energyand Environmental Policy at theUniversity of Texas-Austin, and JedBailey, managing partner at Boston-basedEnergy Narrative.

Its almost ten years since Venezuelaannounced the PetroCaribe program,Goldwyn said. PetroCaribe sells oil andproducts at marketbenchmarks, but alsoprovides financing for governments, giv-ing them long terms and low down pay-ments so the countries can take that oiland use the proceeds of those sales eitherto invest or save, or more likely, to use forbudget support. Its a credit financing pro-gram at its core, and for Venezuela, itsbeen an enormous political success.

However, for PetroCaribe membersthemselves, the results have been decid-edly more mixed, Goldwyn told his audi-ence. Buying crude oil and products oncheap credit has given these countries anenormous debt burden, in some cases 10to 20 percent of their GDP, he said.

WASHINGTON:

President Barack Obama called onAfrican nations Wednesday to force-fully tackle health crises, security chal-lenges and government corruption thatcould stymie the continent's economicprogress, as he concluded an unprecedent-ed summit.

The summit, aimed in part at cultivat-ing an Obama legacy on a continent wherehis family ties run deep, also marked arare return to Washington for formerPresident George W. Bush, who launcheda $15 billion HIV/AIDS initiative while inoffice and has made public health issues inAfrica a priority since leaving the WhiteHouse.

Bush's institute partnered with firstlady Michelle Obama to host a daylongevent for spouses of the African leaders."There's not many things that convince meto come back to Washington," said Bush,who now lives in Dallas and steers clear ofpolitics. "The first lady's summit, ofcourse, is one."

While Obama has continued Bush'ssignature AIDS program, he has also beenseeking his own legacy-building Africainitiatives. This week's U.S.-Africa sum-mit is seen as a cornerstone of that effort,bringing together leaders from about 50countries for three days of talks.

A centerpiece of the conference wasan effort to recast the U.S. economic rela-tionship with Africa away from humani-tarian aid and toward more equal econom-ic partnerships. Obama announced $33billion in new U.S. commitments, mostlyfrom the private sector, to boost invest-ment in Africa, home to six of the world's10 fastest-growing economies.

Yet the summit's final day of discus-sions underscored the challenges thatcould undermine that economic growth.African nations are still struggling withthe HIV epidemic, malaria, and the currentoutbreak of the deadly Ebola virus.Government corruption remains a persist-ent problem. And a surge in violentextremism, particularly in North Africaand the Sahel region, has sparked interna-tional concern.

While Obama vowed that the U.S.would be a strong partner in tackling thoseissues, he emphasized a need for Africa totake the lead, particularly on the securityfront.

"Today we can focus on how we cancontinue to strengthen Africa's capacity tomeet transitional threats and in so doingmake all of our nations more secure," hesaid.

During a private session on security,leaders were expected to discuss BokoHaram, the violent Islamist group inNigeria that was responsible for the kid-napping of more than 200 schoolgirls ear-lier this year. Some have escaped andreturned home, but most remain captive.

As Obama participated in summitmeetings, his wife convened a gatheringof African first ladies, talking aboutinvestments in education, health and eco-nomic development. She was joined byLaura Bush, reprising an event the twoAmerican first ladies held last summer inTanzania.

Calling Africa "an underappreciatedcontinent," Mrs. Obama said it wasincumbent upon the world to develop abetter understanding of what it has tooffer.

GLASGOW, Scotland

It's hard to imagine what the 2014Commonwealth Games would have beenlike without the Jamaican spark and flavourand what it would have been like without theJamaican superstar Usain Bolt, who broughtstardust to the meet and to the city.

There was enthusiasm, as there wasanxiety, as people got panicky Bolt wasn'tgoing to show. But he finally took to thetrack on Friday in the semi-final heats of themen's 4x100m, and Glaswegians wererelieved. They had seen their messiah.And Bolt further obliged a day later in thefinal with a scintillating anchor leg to leadJamaica to gold in a meet record and world-

leading 37.58 seconds on a wet HampdenPark track, showing that the weather failed toput a damper on him and his fired-up relayteammates of Jason Livermore, KemarBailey-Cole and Nickel Ashmeade.

Jamaica's 22 medals in Glasgow repre-sent one of the best-ever hauls in theCommonwealth Games, or any other majorchampionship for that matter. The teamsecured 10 gold, four silver and eight bronzemedals the majority won in track and fieldas expected.

Away from Hampden Park, AliaAtkinson won two of those medals silverin the 50m breaststroke and bronze in the100m breaststroke. And, on the final day of

competition on Sunday, the Sunshine Girlsquenched their medal thirst by winningbronze by defeating England 52-48.

On the track, the two sweeps took thecake. Firstly, the 400m 1-2-3 with StephenieMcPherson (50.67) winning gold, NovleneWilliams-Mills (50.86) taking silver, andChristine Day (51.09) copping bronze.

Seeing the women's success, the men's200m trio got jealous and decided that they,too, could repeat this feat. And they obliged.

Rasheed Dwyer (20.14) took gold, withWarren Weir (20.26) following close for sil-ver, and Jason Livermore (20.32) with a lateburst completed the sweep.

Caribbean cuisine has slowly been gain-ing a reputation as a bastion of foodinnovation. And I don't doubt that for a bit. Ihave been dining in some of the bestCaribbean restaurants for many years now,and I must say it's quite an experience.

This so-called food revolution happen-ing in New York has seen many of the coun-trys best new restaurants sprouting likemushrooms in this lush city. And for those ofyou searching for a culinary experience likeno other, look no further than A Place 2 Go.

Nestled in New Rochelles downtownbusiness district in the lower Westchesterarea, A Place 2 Go is the brainchild of chefEdwin Chrissy Crisp and his wife ChyrisseCrisp. After coming up with names likeSugar Cane, The Melting Pot and evenFrying Pan, they finally decided on the nameA Place 2 Go since there was nowhere inNew Rochelle for young professionals tohangout.

Being a plated chef for over 14 years,Chef Crisp gives credit to his dad EdwinCrisp, Sr., who he worked for in his estab-lishment Chriss Place as a chef and hisbrothers who he opened C3 with. Inspired byhis Jamaican culture, and watching his moth-er prepare feasts for her family and friends,Chrissy dreams blossomed into reality when

he opened his own establishment A Place 2Go in 2012.

Its diverse, modern interior dcor,allows the simplistic beauty of the food toreally shine, though beauty isnt the onlything bringing folks to A Place 2 Go.

The restaurant can be found, buzzedwith excited energy and seemingly satisfiedpatrons, from family to professionals to peo-ple just sitting at the bar listening to the liveband that plays on Thursdays and Fridays.

The Menu is inspired by traditionalCaribbean Island cuisines along withSouthern American Soul. For starters youcan enjoy Cod Fish Cakes, Jerk Calamari,and Crab Cakes.

Signature entre dishes like Oxtail, JerkPork, Red Snapper (prepared Escoveitch,Steamed or Stewed) and the award winningBaby Back ribs. And while waiting you canenjoy signature cocktails like A Place 2 GoRum Punch (my favorite) Coco-Pine Martinior Tropical Long Island.

A Place 2 Go has an amazing staff andis available for catering and a great place forsmall group gatherings, or as the go to placefor business meetings.

As Mr. Lowell Hawthorne the presidentand CEO of Golden Krust Bakery said itshis favorite place because he likes the foodand the ambiance. Chef Chrissy has a say-ing you cant know where youre going,until you know where you are coming from,so he pays homage to all Jamaican chefs.

Chrissy has been recognized for his out-standing work by receiving many awardswith the latest one being, Best ofWestchester 2014. When Chrissy isnt busycooking, you can find him playing pool andenjoying the company of his wife and kids.

In February 1962, a new Constitutionwas approved by the Legislature and thePremier Norman Manley called GeneralElections.

Alexander Bustamente was elected inApril and became the first Prime Ministerof Jamaica. On August 6, 1962, Jamaicabecame an Independent Nation and amember of the British Commonwealth.

Jamaica becoming an IndependentNation, now meant that Britain, no longercontrolled the affairs of the country. It wasnow the responsibility of the newly elect-ed Prime Minister and the locally electedCabinet.

Independence also meant that aConstitution, symbols, emblems, an army,Jamaican currency and passports had to bedeveloped for the country.

As an Independent Nation, Jamaicaassigns Ambassadors overseas who repre-sent the country. They sign treaties onbehalf of Jamaica and become members of

various international organisations. This isimportant, as it gives Jamaica equal rightson various issues relating to internationaltrade, policies and treaties.

Every year on August 6, (previouslyfirst Monday in August), Jamaicans cele-brate the removal of our dependence on

Britain, to control specific functions of thecountry. At this time we also honour allthose persons who were responsible forthe transfer of power.

Jamaica is a Commonwealth realm,with Queen Elizabeth II as its monarchand head of state. Her appointed represen-tative in the country is the Governor-General of Jamaica, currently PatrickAllen.

The head of government and PrimeMinister of Jamaica is Portia Simpson-Miller. Jamaica is a parliamentary consti-tutional monarchy with legislative powervested in the bicameral Parliament ofJamaica, consisting of an appointed Senateand a directly elected House ofRepresentatives.

We salute Jamaica on its 52nd Independence

JAMAICA 52ND INDEPENDENCE FEATURE Birth of a Nation

ALEXANDER BUSTAMENTE

By Portia Simpson-MillerPrime Minister

My fellow Jamaicans at home and in theDiaspora, I greet you on this the 52ndAnniversary of our Independence.

Fifty-two years since our flag was firsthoisted; fifty-two years since we assumedfull responsibility for our national affairs.

Fifty-two years since that hopeful andexpectant generation passed on to us thevibrancy of a dream of a new Jamaica: aJamaica of equal opportunity for all; aJamaica where justice would roll down likea river, and a Jamaica for which all of uscould be proud.

A Jamaica in which all of us could trulysay, This is Jamaica, my Jamaica. A trueownership society. A Jamaica in which all ofus would have a sense of place and belong-ing, not just a place of abode.

F,ounding Father Rt. Excellent NormanManley put it well in speaking of his visionof this new Jamaica: All efforts will bewasted unless the masses are steadily takenalong a path in which they will feel moreand more that this place is their home, thatit is their destiny. They will then do more forit work more, more effort, more thinking,more sacrifice, more discipline and morehonesty

There is a tremendous differencebetween living in a place and belonging to itand feeling that your own life and destiny isbound up in the life and destiny of thatplace.

What profound words! How deeply rel-evant to the theme of our Independence cel-ebrations this year: This is Jamaica, myJamaica.

It is only when we truly internalize theview that this is Jamaica, my Jamaica thatwe can give our all to this rock. We have to unite for a common purpose.We must have a sense that we are, indeed,stakeholders.We have to take responsibility and beaccountable for our actions.

This is true sovereignty and independ-ence. This is Jamaica, my Jamaica meansthat in the face of our most severe droughtin recent memory, we must take personalresponsibility for conserving water.

We must make the necessary sacrifices.The issues we face are national and broad-based. Because this is our Jamaica eachJamaican must own and contribute to miti-gating them.

A sense of personal responsibility andownership captured by our independencetheme, This is Jamaica, my Jamaicameans that we take responsibility for ourcommunities and help to keep them safe.

This is Jamaica, my Jamaica


JAMAICA 52ND INDEPENDENCE FEATURE

Independence marked a majormilestone in our journey towardsnationhood and the creation of ourJamaican State. That journey start-ed with the arrival of Columbus in1492 and the subsequent conquest,exploitation and establishment of asystem of enslavement and a plan-

tation society under Europeancolonial rule which lasted for 470years until our Independence 1962.

After World War II EuropeanEmpires receded as theireconomies and armies tried torebuild and nationalist fervour inthe colonies grew.

Colonialism as mechanism forsocial, economic and political con-trol of conquered or claimed landshad outlived its usefulness in thecontext of emerging poles of powerin America and Asia. The processof redefining the World order hadbegun with former colonies claim-

ing their independence eitherthrough struggle or negotiation orboth.

Independence in this era didnot mean that former colonies werenow on equal power footing in theinternational systems.

As we reflect on our journey asan independent people since1962, we know that despite theproblems and hardships we havefaced, we have much for which tobe thankful.

The bedrock of positive ener-gy in our national philosophyderived from our Flag, Our Motto,our National Pledge and ourNational Anthem explains why wehave kept this ship Jamaica afloat,and why we shall attain our visionfor our beloved country.

Our Flag reminds us daily thatthe sun shines, the land is greenand our people are strong and cre-ative. Our Motto reaffirms thatregardless of our historic origins,our economic status, our religiousand political beliefs, our gender

and age, we are One People. OurNational Pledge speaks to our des-tiny under God, to increase inbeauty, fellowship and prosperity.

Our National Anthem remindsus of the source of our strength, ourwisdom and vision, our directionand our protection.

I acknowledge that in everysector there are issues which areyet to be resolved, but I am con-vinced of our core commitment tobuilding a better Jamaica. Thisfuels my belief that there is nothingwrong with Jamaica that cannot befixed by what is right withJamaica!

Today, as we celebrate ourIndependence Anniversary, I thankall Jamaicans who contribute to abetter Jamaica at every level.

Jamaican can step up inna life

Building a better Jamaica


Jamaica continues to enjoy thebenefit of a strong national spir-it. It is a spirit that nourishesunmatched popular music talent,nurtures athletic and intellectualprowess, and cultivates a sense ofdetermination in the face of eco-nomic and social difficulties.

Pause, for example, to consid-er our national love for track andfield glory: which country of com-parable size can boast our caval-

cade of Olympian and world-beat-ing successes over the years? Wedelight in the exploits of todayschampions who lift our spirits bytheir commitment and success, andwe give glory to the legacy onwhich our international achieve-ments are constructed.

At the same time, our nationalathleticism is built on an importantfoundation of broad participation,through the Boys and Girls

Championships, frequent track andfield meetings, and school plan-ning from the earliest levels.

And so it is with sports, so tooit is with music, an area in whichstars from the rocksteady, ska, reg-gae and dance hall era havedefined us a people and delightedthe world with our culture: BobMarley and the Wailers, the I-Threes, Singa D Brown, U-Roy,Gregory Isaacs, Delroy Wilson,

Sugar Minott, Alton Ellis, ByronLee and the Dragonaires, CynthiaSchloss, Tessanne Chin, EricDonaldson, and a long stream ofother exemplars of musical excel-lence from our homeland. Thisexcellence also manifests itself inliterary pursuits.

Our poets and playwrights,novelists and journalists, essayistsand editors, invite us daily into thecommunity of words.

Natural methods for dry hair treatment

Dry hair can mean many differentthings. The hair can be fine and limp butdry, or coarse and curly but dry. It canalso be oily at the roots and dry at theends (dry ends).

Hair also tends to dry out when yougrow older because the natural level of oilproduction from the bodys sebaceousglands is reduced.

There can be many other causes for dryhair. One ironic cause can be too muchsalty, chlorinated, or sudsy water.

Other common causes include excessshampoo, coloring, perms, excessiveblow drying, curling irons, and toomuch exposure to wind and sun. All thesecan result in parched hair, arid and fly-away locks.

Two important causes of dry hair aregenetics, and improper diet lacking essen-tial fatty acids, iron, and zinc.

If you were born with curly or frizzyhair, it may tend to be dry because it isoverly porous.

WOMAN SEEKING MAN

Can love at first sight really happen? Is itpossible to fall head-over-heels for aguy you just met? Or is it an emotion thatyou have to tamp down to be on the safe sideof things?

The answer to whether love at first sightcan really happen may be shocking and con-fusing.

The answer to the question is both Yesand No. This is simply because falling inlove with a new guy isn't as simple as itsounds, it's a complex emotion that needs tobe handled carefully. If you don't watchyourself, you might be heading into quick,hard heartache.

First, let's deal with the Yes. Yes, love atfirst sight does happen. In fact, manyhealthy, meaningful relationships todaystarted when both partners fell in love witheach other right from the start. This is main-ly due to physical attraction, the ice-breakerfor every relationship.

Physical attraction is very important,because it's how nature designed us to makesure we pick the best possible partners forourselves.

It's also what makes men and womenwant to get to know each other better. Thisis always an important first step in a goodrelationship.

But physical attraction is never enoughto make a relationship last for any goodduration of time. This is where the "No"comes in, falling in love with a new guy atfirst sight may be just infatuation if youdon't have that special emotional bond:Chemistry.

Without chemistry, that emotionalattraction that forms the foundation of along-term relationship, cannot last. Fallingin love at the first meeting is only a fleetingemotion that will get your hopes up. But ifyour personalities and chemistry are rightand lives are a perfect fit with each other,then that means it really is love at firstsight.

Until next time Live, Love, Laugh

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Dear Divine Diva:

My oldest brother, "Mark." has beendealing with drug and alcohol issuesfor more than 30 years. While I am notwealthy by any standards, barring anymajor catastrophes, my wife and I will becomfortable in our retirement.

Mark's adult kids are having problemstaking care of him, and they, as well as myother adult siblings, seem to think I am"harsh and callous" for not helping. Whatthey don't know is that, as a child,

Mark sexually abused me, and when Iwas in my 20s and in the military stationedoverseas, he slept with my (now ex-wife).What they have also conveniently for-got-ten is that a few years ago, I gave Mark

several thousand dollars' worth of equip-ment to start a business. Instead of startingthe business, he sold the equipment to buybooze and drugs..

Am I being too harsh? If not, howmany of the details should I reveal to letthe family know why I feel so little com-passion? - Fed Up In Brooklyn

Dear Fed Up: Perhaps it's time you got it ALL off yourchest. Considering everything that hastranspired, I don't think you're being harshor callous by not chipping in. And I see noreason why you should remain silent aboutthe way you have been sexually and finan-cially abused by your brother. Good Luck.BY

Brothers' Shady Side Remains Hidden From Family

Dear Divine Diva:

Iam a young African American woman ina very good job, but I have a very lowself-esteem. My confidence is alwaysshaken and I have poor relationships withsome of my friends and family members.What can I do to improve my low-selfesteem? - MT, Bronx

Dear MT: A variety of factors can contribute to lowself-esteem, including (but certainly notlimited to) poor relationships with parentsor siblings, being the victim of a physical-ly, sexually, or mentally abusive relation-ship, or experiencing racist or discrimina-tory practices in your personal or profes-sional life. No matter what the reason,don't ever give up hope because your self-esteem can always be improved. You will

be pleasantly amazed when you see howimproved self-esteem can change yourlife! High self-esteem evolves from view-ing yourself as a unique, valuable, andworthwhile person, and is not dependenton how other people view you.

You are your greatest asset and canstart improving upon your self-esteemtoday by: Believing in yourself; Letting goof past hurts and forgiving others; Lovingand accepting yourself unconditionally;Believing in your dreams and persisting tomake your dreams become reality;Planning and setting attainable goals inlife; Meditating and spending a few quietmoments by yourself each day; Visualize:See yourself achieving and prospering inlife; Talk to yourself each day: Internalizepositive affirmations that help you believein yourself.

Healthy Lifestyle toprevent Breast CancerBreast cancer is more common in AfricanAmerican women, and we are most like-ly to die from the disease due to late stagedetection and poorer stage specific survival.Here are a few guidelines and suggestionsfor cancer prevention as outlined by theAmerican Institute for Cancer Research:

Be physically active for at least 30minutes every day. This consists of moderateactivity, such as a brisk walk, that gets yourheart beating a bit faster and makes youbreathe more deeply. Also include at least15-30 minutes of relaxing, de-stressing exer-cises such as mediation, yoga, Qigong or TaiChi.

Avoid sugary drinks such as sodas andother high fructose corn syrup products.Limit consumption of energy-dense foods(particularly processed foods high in addedsugar, low in fiber or high in fat).

Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits,whole grains and legumes such as beans.Choose a diet with many types of plant-based foods. Try to substitute dried beansand peas for meat at some meals each week.

Try to eat at least five colorful servingsa day of fruits and vegetables, including cit-rus fruits and dark-green and deep-yellowvegetables, as these contain natural health-promoting substances called phytochemi-cals.

Limit consumption of red meats andavoid processed meats. Limit high-fat foods,particularly those from animal sources.Avoid beef, pork and lamb.

Ebola viral disease is a severe, often fataldisease that affects humans and some ani-mals (like monkeys, gorillas, and chim-panzees). It is caused by the Ebola virus. Ebola virus is spread by directly touching aninfected person or animals skin, blood orbody fluids. It cannot be spread simply bybeing near someone who is infected.Researchers believe that most Ebola out-breaks start when an animal carrying theEbola virus infects a person, who can theninfect other people.

Since the virus can survive on surfacesfor a short period of time, people can beinfected by touching objects (like needles orbed sheets) that contain infected blood orbody fluids.

During outbreaks, the disease can spreadquickly within health care settings if workersdo not wear protective gear and take properprecautions. People only become contagiousafter they begin to have symptoms, such asfever.

What are the symptoms of Ebola?The disease usually starts with an abrupt

fever, possibly with headache and joint andmuscle aches. Other symptoms may include:Nausea, Weakness, Diarrhea, Vomiting,Stomach pain, Lack of appetite

Some patients may also experience:Rash, Red eyes, Hiccups, Cough, Sore throatChest pain, Problems breathing, Problemsswallowing, Bleeding inside and outside thebody.

When do symptoms first appear?Symptoms usually appear 8 to 10 days afterexposure but may appear anywhere from 2 to21 days after exposure.

How serious is Ebola?The severity of the disease varies, but

over 50% of patients with Ebola have diedduring past outbreaks. Researchers do notfully understand why some people whobecome sick with Ebola recover while othersdo not.

Where has Ebola been reported?In the current outbreak, nearly all con-

firmed Ebola cases were reported in threeAfrican countries: Guinea, Liberia and SierraLeone.

Since the situation in East Africa isevolving, visit the Centers for Disease Controland Preventions (CDCs) website for themost up-to-date information on countriesaffected by Ebola outbreak.
