tive of these diaper donations that help them

meet their daily living expenses.

Macculloch Hall Historical Museum in Morristownis offering a spring program for home-schooledstudents that highlights its rich historical aspects.

The program is open to all homeschool families, and infact, there are families enrolled from Warren and Sussexcounties, in addition to Morris County, and southern NewJersey communities, said Museum Educator CynthiaWinslow in an interview last week.

Macculloch Hall Historical museum is offering itsSpring Homeschool Series, a multi-visit program based onthe children's classic "The Secret Garden" by FrancesHodgson Burnett. Winslow said children will be involved inactivities that compare and contrast the home and garden at

Macculloch Hall with the setting in The Secret Garden,Misselthwaite Manor and its gardens.

She added that, throughout the program, students arecompiling a journal of their thoughts and favorite passagesfrom The Secret Garden through drawings, quotes, andresponses to the story in their own words. The students arealso participating in group discussions about chararcters inthe story, working in small groups, giving oral presentationsand taking part in art projects that all develop from whatfamilies are reading in The Secret Garden.

Winslow said the program is open to all homeschoolfamilies, and there are families enrolled in the programfrom all parts of New Jersey - counties in southern New

Jersey as well as Warren and Sussex Counties in northern

New Jersey.Families can register by phone at 973-538-2404 ext. 16

or email [email protected] with name, numberand

age(s) of children, contact phone number and emailaddress. The recommended ages for the program are sevento 13 years old.

Winslow said "families enrolled in the program willactually get to see how a dormant garden naturally comesback to life as they visit the Museum's garden fromFeburary to May, similar to the plot of the story," referringto The Secret Garden.

Winslow continued, "Also, George Macculloch, thepatriarch of the 19th Century family at Macculloch Hall and

founder of the Morris Canal, went through a similar experi-ence of living in India, becoming an orphan at a young ageand travelling to Great Britian to live with his grandmother.Lastly, The Secret Garden lends itself to a multi-discipli-nary curriculum. Homeschool families are able to study sci-ence, language arts, history, and geography while attendingthe Museum's program."

Winslow said this is the first time the museum is offer-ing "Walking Through the Secret Garden." She said "theresponse from the homeschool community has been verygood and we will continue to offer programs for this audi-ence."

The museum started programs for homeschool familes

last year in Feb. 2012.

"We designed the program so families can come to themuseum for three or four sessions on a single topic,"Winslow said. Last spring the museum started a series cov-ering topics on the Civil War and last fall the series focusedon political history and civic lessons corresponding with thepresidential election. Since the museum has a large collec-tion of the political cartoons by 19th century illustator,Thomas Nast, students also took part in art classes based onNast's work in the fall program.

Homeschool parents are involved in selecting topics thatthe museum develops in the Fall and Spring HomeschoolSeries each year.

The cost for the program is $8 for each child participat-ing. There is no fee for the accompanying adult.

This fee is collected on the day of each class but, pre-registration is required. The Homeschool Series runs on thefourth Tuesday of each month during the fall and springseries. There is a morning and afternoon session available.

A recent notification from the museum reads, "Due tothe popularity of the program, the museum is offering anadditional class (afternoon session only) on the followingFridays: March 22, April 19, and May 24 from 1 to 3 pm. Itis not too late to register for the Friday afternoon classes."

Winslow said, "Macculloch Hall Historical Museum rec-ognizes that museums and environmental education sitesare an important resource for homeschool families sincethey provide an alternative "classroom" experience and

T

he annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade

will return to the streets of

Morristown on Saturday, March 9 at

noon. This year, the parade will start in frontof Kings on South Street. It will then travel

down South Street, wind around the green,

and end on Atno Avenue. An estimated

70,000 spectators are expected to attend the

parade this year.

There is plenty of entertainment for this

year's parade. The parade will have 20

bands, along with music, balloons, and ban-

ners. Bagpipers and prancing horses will

add to the festive spirit of the parade as it

makes its way through Morristown.Accompanying the parade will be freehold-

ers and council members, state representa-

tives, Morris County mayors, representa-

tives from the Police Unity Tour, and more.

The parade will feature floats from some of

the most well-known Morristown business-

St. Patrick's Day Parade Makes 34th Annual Trip Through Morristownes, including Wells Fargo Bank,

Morristown Medical Center, Knights of

Columbus, and Lakeland Bank. Parade

floats include the Seeing Eye Center (with

dogs!), both the Morristown and MorrisTownship Library, Dublin pub, St. Patrick

School, Market Street Mission, Molly

Malone's, Blackthorn Pub, and volunteers

from the local fire departments from around

Morris County.

The parade marshall is a celebrated

member of the Morristown Police force.

Morris Sheriff Edward V. Rochford is a

Morris Township resident whose family

roots can be traced to County Cork, Ireland.

Rochford belongs to a number of local

organizations, including the Friendly Sonsof St. Patrick of Morris County, The Irish

American Association of Northwest New

Jersey, and the Paul W. McKenna Morris

County Chapter of the Emerald Society.

Here are some fun facts about the parade,

courtesy of the parade's Facebook page

(facebook.com/paradeday):

From 1979 through 1990, the parade

became larger and larger as it grew in pop-

ularity. More and more groups joined

parade and more and more spectators came

out to enjoy it. By 1983, there were 48 unitsin parade.

In November 1990, IAANJ teamed up

with the Friendly Sons of St Patrick (FSSP)

of Morris County and began working with

Morristown administration to bring the

parade to Morristown. It was a perfect placefor the parade. It is the county seat; has a

terrific and safe environment for a fun-filled

family day for all residents of Morris

County to enjoy; has adequate parking for

parade participants and spectators; plus,

Morristown has a rich history in Irish cul-

ture going back to the Revolutionary War.

From 1991 to 2013, the parade has

grown to over 120 diverse groups, including

over 20 bands, with up to over 4000

marchers with 50,000 to 80,000 spectators

enjoying the Parade depending on weather. In 2000, the Morris County Parade his-

tory was submitted by Congressman

Rodney Frelinghuysen to the Library of

Congress and was featured in the Library of

Congress Local Legacy Program, a high

honor and tribute to the efforts of parade

organizers and volunteers. Our parade got

national recognition.

In 2006, to accommodate the parades

growth in size and popularity the Parade

route was extended three blocks by going

around the Green instead of just passing it.

Rabbi Mark Biller will offer an

intriguing look at the first book of

the Bible through the lens of mod-

ern life in a two-part series called Genesis:

From Written Text to Oral TraditionHowDid That Happen?

The sessions will be held at 7 p.m. on

Monday, April 8, and Thursday, April 18, at

the Morris County Library, 30 E. Hanover

Ave., in Whippany. Free of charge and open

to the public, the workshops are being con-

ducted under the auspices of National

Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West

Morris Sections Our Jewish World, co-

chaired by Ellen Nesson and Melanie

Levitan, both of Morristown.

Says Rabbi Biller, If you look at theBible itself, and then look at the Judaism we

live, it almost looks like two different reli-

gions. Come learn about that important

development!

According to Rabbi Biller, traditionalists

say the Oral Torah was taught to Moses

on Sinai. Others say that it evolved through

the centuries. Whatever you believe, partic-

ipants will look at the development of the

texts and traditions that make up the spiritu-

al, quirky, ethical Jewish way of life.From a text recounting the history of

desert wanderers, to the rules used in ritual

in Solomons temple, to giving Jewish peo-

ple ethical guidance as they navigate their

way to being Jewish citizens in a modern

world, it is a great ride and a fascinatingstudy. Rabbi Biller invites the public to

come examine the development from

Written to Oral Law, see the texts them-

selves and share their views on this amazing

journey.

Rabbi Biller specializes in the art of sto-

rytelling, and counseling Jews of all ritual

levels looking to find meaning in both mod-

ern life and our rich traditions. The spiritual

leader of synagogues in his native Canada,

as well as in Alabama, New York and New

Jersey, the rabbi received rabbinic ordina-tion from the Jewish Theological Seminary.

He also studied BiblioDrama with Peter

Pitzele at the Union Theological Seminary,

and completed a two-year Spiritual

Direction course at Elat Chayyim, designed

to help participants teach others how to

identify and follow their own spiritual

paths.

provoking Genesis classes, please e-mail

On March 27, 2013, from 6-8pm, at

the Gallery at 14 Maple, Morris

Arts will host a free opening recep-

tion for its new juried exhibition entitledRites of Spring, in honor of the 100th

Anniversary of Igor Stravinskys influential

orchestral composition and ballet and the

controversial Armory show in New York

City touted as the first International

Exhibition of Modern Art. The avant-garde

nature of Stravinskys music introduced

dramatically new approaches to tonality,

meter and rhythm. In a narrative sense,

Stravinskys work draws upon Russian

pagan rites in honor of spring. Similarly,

The Armory Show, which opened in Marchof that same year, reflected breaks with

artistic traditions with the introduction of

new visual languages such as Cubism,

Fauvism and Futurism. In the spirit of that

iconoclastic and innovative moment, this

exhibit presents artworks which challenge

conventional approaches in media, push the

limits of traditional uses and processes or

address themes of transformation, ritual and

rebirth to herald the coming of spring.

Rites of Spring is guest curated by

Jeanne Brasile, Curator of the WalshGallery at Seton Hall University and show-

cases works by the following artists: Barry

Altman(East Windsor), David Axelrod

(Chatham), Rob Barth (Lafayette), Richard

Bedkowski (Morristown), Ron Brown(South Orange), Bernadette Calnon-Buote

(Moorestown), Lisa Conrad (Newark),

ncredible performers and gifted artists were the theme at

the Feb. 27 "Morristown's Got Talent" event held at

Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown.It was the sixth annual talent show, and vocalist

Katherine Merwin and pianist Julia Cipriani earned first

place at the talent show, for their performance of "Love's

Philosophy" by Roger Quilter. Merwin and Cipriani most

definitely earned this success, despite being surprised about

being awarded first place.

Emcee Robin Fox said Cipriani and Merwin, who both

attend Morristown High School, were friends since kinder-

garten and they have been playing together for about 4

years now. There experise and style was enough to amaze

audience members and judges at the show, and Cipriani and

Merwin were overjoyed with their heartfelt performanceand first place award. They were awarded a $1,000 check,

which they plan on using for college and for charity.

A video of their performance is posted at

MorristownGreen.com. The video will prove just how high

of a standard the talent show has created for artists and per-

formers. The whole evening was a high-energy event

enjoyed by the entire audience.

After the show, Cipriani said, "It was the best we've like

ever played."

"We were totally in the moment," said Merwin, adding

that "this is just incredible."

Judges were amazed with their performance, and with

the level of talent with the other artists that night. There

was, after all, a great deal of variety, skill and inspiration at

this event. The singers, dancers, and musicians were cer-

tainly top notch and added to the esteem of this already

much respected event. Morristown is definitely packed withtalent, indeed. This event served as further proof.

Judge Michael Spencer Philips noted that it was great to

"just see two teenage girls do something that's classical; that

is just against what's popular."

Judge John Ginty said, "the two girls were just amazing.

The classical piece they performed.....the voice was great,

the piano was perfect."

Judge Bill Stephney said, "they were well beyond their

years; their musicianship, their level of musicianship."

Self-taught dancer Jonathan Aloba won the second prize

of $500 for his excellent performance. Aloba is a sopho-

more at Morristown High School, and his dance routine was

skillful and mezmerizing at the Feb. 27 event. He captured

the attention of audience members easily with his routine.

Aloba schooled himself by viewing dance videos online

and later crafting his own repertoire from his self-developed

skill. His level of talent and creativity was awe-inspiring,

and he could easily move into the professional realm with

continued determination and focus. The local community

wishes him luck in his future endeavors.

Third prize of $250 went to The Fab Three from the

Sussex Avenue School, consisting of siblings Sofia

Wawrzyniak, 10, and twins Arthur and Isabella, 9, for their

performance of a rockabilly song called "Proud and

Humble," by Imelda May. Excellent vocals and choreogra-

phy were a highlight of their performance, with their attire

offering the icing on the cake.

Sadly, Chuck Levy, a vocalist/guitarist who earned a slot

as a finalist and was set to compete in the show, passedaway from a stroke in the days prior to the event. Levy was

a singer/songwriter with an excellent and inspired

song/video called "I Never Knew You" posted at http://mor-

ristowngreen.com/tag/morristowns-got-talent-2013/. His

song has a memorable and catchy melody, and he performs

it with great conviction in his video. At the beginning of the

talent show, a tribute was paid to Levy, and the community

sends its condolences to family members.

In the future, those who wish to audition for

Morristown's Got Talent events can visit website

h t t p : / / w w w . m o r r i s t o w n s g o t t a l e n t . c o m / r u l e s -

regulations.html.

Their website notes that they offer, "An evening featur-

ing the best amateur talent from Morristown, Morris Plains

and Morris Township." In the end, the contestants were, of

course, quite "professional," and judges and audience mem-

bers alike were surprised at the superb level of talent from

competitors. It is perhaps only now that community mem-

bers can believe just how skilled the performers were this

year - after witnessing the event in late February.

Contestants of all ages are eligible to audition for the tal-

ent event. Please see specific regulations on website.

In general, the website notes that "the following cate-

gories will be permitted for performance: singing, dancing,

drama skits and novelty acts."

"Contestants must live, work or attend

school in Morristown, Morris Township or

The Feb. 27 event raised more than

$50,000 for local school programs of the

Morris Educational Foudation.

Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood, starts of the TV seriesWhose Line Is It Anyway, perform an evening of impro-vised comedy at Mayo Performing Arts Center onThursday, April 4, 2013 at 8 pm. Tickets are $49-79.Colin & Brad have emerged as two of America's most pop-ular comedic personalities - according to them. Using theirquick wit, Colin and Brad take suggestions from the audi-ence to create hilarious and original scenes - just like a liveversion of Whose Line!Brad Sherwood describes the performance as "The world'sfunniest improv show, featuring the brilliant comic stylingsof Brad Sherwood and his addle-brained sidekick, ColinMochrie. It is the longest running international improvshow on planet earth, we think."Colin adds, "It's an evening of interactive comedy with bigbelly laughs supplied by improv icon Colin Mochrie andeye candy for the visually impaired by Brad Sherwood. Themost fun you can have with a theatre full of people that'slegal and doesn't include washing up."

As a young hatchling, Brad Sherwood fled the ice plains ofChicago for the arid expanse of the Rocky Mountains,where he settled at the epicenter of art and coyote sculp-tures, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Weaned on green chiles andisolation, he became a savant of self-amusement. Yearslater, he hopped a hobo train to the Pacific Ocean where hesearched for people willing to employ someone with anabnormally large skull. Eventually, he was plucked from theVenice Beach Freak Show by a band of improvising gypsieswho passed him from troupe to troupe, until he was soldinto servitude to some British Choreographer/Pirates. They,in turn, sold him to a British improv TV show, where he washired to teach Canadians how to be funny. Now, he is ward

and caretaker of his least successful pupil, Colin Mochrie.Brad is given a stipend from the Canadian government tokeep Colin from hurting himself or livestock. As part ofColin's therapy, Brad tours with him in an improvised stageperformance that helps creatively channel Mochrie's delu-sions.Scotland, that craggy, majestic, malt whiskeyed land, hasspawned many myths besides the Loch Ness Monster. Onesuch legend is Colin Mochrie. A migratory creature that lefthis birthplace for the Great White North (Canada), Colinlearned his theatrical craft through repeated behavioral ritu-als at Studio 58 located in the mountain nestled, sparkling

jewel of the Northwest, Vancouver, British Columbia. Ahard-working, imaginative mammal, Colin used hischameleon-like skills to blend in with others of his ilk,never being noticed, until noted anthropologists DanPatterson and Mark Leveson discovered him at the TorontoSecond City. Moving him to the Whose Line is it AnywayInstitute in historical and damp London, England, Patterson

and Leveson slowly groomed Colin till he became interna-tional sensation. Working with Drew Carey at the U.S basedinstitute of the same name, only increased interest in thereclusive beast. Now touring with the remora-like BradSherwood, the pair are constantly flying around the conti-nent, bringing joy with their unashamed antics and bizarrebehavior.Mayo Performing Arts Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organ-ization, presents a wide range of programs that entertain,enrich, and educate the diverse population of the region andenhance the economic vitality of Northern New Jersey.

issue of Journal of

American Medical

Association found that the

prespecified secondary end-

points of first heart attack or

stroke and fatal cardiovas-

cular events were signifi-

cantly reduced among obese

patients undergoing

bariatric surgery as opposedto usual care with a median

follow-up of 14.7 years.

Note that the improved

results were independent of

baseline BMI(Body Mass

nonrandomized study.

During a median 14.7

years of follow-up, any

bariatric procedure cut risk

of a first fatal or nonfatal

Take a short walk with friends and fam-ily while raising awareness and moneyfor the March of Dimes this winter

with Giant Gymnastics. Co-owners JenniferPackard and John Skorski have been activein both the Hackettstown and Lafayette areacommunities, so it came as no surprise when

they announced to the families of their gym-nasts they were holding Wonderwalk. As ateam parent, I think its wonderful how Giantinvolves our children in community service,said Karen LiCausi, a parent of one of theGarden Gator competitive gymnasts. Ibelieve its important to make our childrenaware of the needs of others and the impor-tance of being an active participant in eventslike this one. The walks will be a short 15-20 minute local walk around each location ofGiant Gymnastics.

Hackettstown will be hosting two dates-

February 2nd and March 9th from 3-5pm.Lafayette will host their event on April 6th

from 9-10:30am. When gymnasts reach $50for their efforts theyll be rewarded withFREE participation to the Open Gym whichwill follow the walk. Anyone wishing to par-ticipate in these events can pick up the Marchof Dimes donation envelopes at either GiantGymnastics location. My hope is to raiseawareness, while raising money for a good

cause, and since our events are before the bigwalk at the Sussex County Fairgrounds, wehope to have a group of our gymnasts andtheir families join us for the walk at the fair-grounds at the end of April, co-owner andcoach Jennifer Packard explained.

Sweeter breads and casseroles are popular brunchfoods, but they can be heavy and full of fats, sugarand calories. For a lighter, fresher brunch that still

leaves guests satisfied, fill their plates with delicious andhealthy fresh fruits.Fresh fruits help satisfy a sweet tooth without filling you upwith unhealthy ingredients. And fresh fruits are availableyear-round thanks to an abundance of fruits available fromChile. Here are a few delicious ways to make your brunchfresh and tasty with fruit:

Slice up a variety of fresh fruits and serve them in fruit-based containers. Carve a basket from a watermelon, hol-low out the center of halved cantaloupes or honeydew mel-ons, or make individual servings in orange peel cups.

Set up a yogurt bar so guests can customize their ownyogurt parfaits. Include creamy yogurt, fresh Chilean blue-berries, plums, grapes, kiwis and apples. Have a selection ofhomemade granolas, toasted nuts and coconut flakes withhoney or agave nectar for drizzling.

Set out fresh fruit skewers stacked with chunks of yourfavorite fresh fruits. For an added layer of flavor, lightlygrill the skewers over smoky coals or in a grill pan on thestove. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with toasted coconut

flakes.Another way to enjoy fresh fruit is to incorporate it into

your brunch recipes. This recipe for Sweet Potato Wafflestops fluffy waffles with fresh Chilean peaches, plums andgrapes; and this recipe for Blueberry, Apple andGorgonzola Paninis uses fresh Chilean blueberries for littlebursts of sweet flavor in a savory sandwich.

Treating: Mental and Emotional Issues

Musculo-skeletal and Neurological

Upper Respiratory Tract

Gastrointestinal Disorders Reproductive System

SPECIALIZING IN INFERTILITY IN FEMALES & MALES

Deborah Torrance,Dipl. Ac., C.A.

Did you know that your endocrine system producesthirty (30) distinct hormones each of which hasextremely specific jobs to do? Your endocrine sys-

tem is responsible for all hormonal functions in the body.Your endocrine system governs your physical growth,mood, reproduction, mental functionality, your mood andyour immune system. Needless to say, it is very importantto have your endocrine system operating optimally at alltimes. When not working properly, you can become sus-ceptible to infertility, various diseases and your ability toovercome infection will become weakened. Your endocrinesystem impacts every area of your health and yet unknow-

ingly it is bombarded on a daily basis with the foods youconsume and the amount stress you allow in your life.

The cornerstone of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturehas always been about prevention and helping the body torestore balance to the various organ systems and meridiansor pathways that cover the entire body. If these pathways ormeridians become obstructed or depleted you can sufferfrom a myriad of symptoms such as: tiredness, weight gain,depression, digestive problems, infertility, hair loss, arthri-tis and feeling cold all the time, regardless of the tempera-ture. The following are a list of each of the endocrineglands and their functions:

Thyroid The thyroid gland produces thyroid stimulat-ing hormones (TSH) and Triiodothyronine (T3) and FreeThyroxine (T4) which control the growth, your temperatureand function of every cell in your body. Your thyroid con-trols your metabolism a high TSH combined with a lowor normal T4 generally indicates hypothyroidism, whichcan have a detrimental effect on fertility, your energy leveland your ability to lose weight to name a few. Sometimesa diseased thyroid gland will start producing very high lev-els of T3 but still produce normal levels of T4. Thereforemeasurement of both hormones provides an even moreaccurate evaluation of thyroid function.

Reproductive Hormones Your reproductive glands

consist of either ovaries or testes and secrete hormones thatcontrol the development of male and female characteristics.Women have two ovaries and there function is to releaseegg cells and to produce hormones. They usually produceone egg per month and their function is quite unique. Thenormal ovary produces two very important hormones but ina very special unique way. For the first half of the menstru-

al cycle only Estrogen is produced but in the latter half theovary also starts producing another hormone Progesterone.The ovary also produces small amounts of testosterone.Did you know that when a baby girl is born, her ovariescontain all the egg cells (ova) she will ever possess? Theegg cells are formed in utero and no new egg cells areformed after birth. This differs substantially from the male,who start producing sperm only at puberty and then contin-ues to produce sperm for the rest of his life. This is whywomen enter the menopause with ALL THEIR EGGCELLS ARE USED UP. The first half of a womens cycleis considered Yin as is Estrogen, while the second half of a

womans cycle is Yang in nature and is Progesterone. It isvitally important that both are balanced to ensure a goodmenstrual cycle and provide a fertile ground for conception.

In males the Testes are glands are responsible for mak-ing testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and forgenerating sperm. The semen is considered a Yin substancewhile the sperm and its ability to swim is considered to bemore Yang. Therefore, sperm volume, motility and mor-phology come under the auspices of both Kidney Yin andYang.

Hypothalamus/Pituitary The hypothalamus/pituitaryglands provide the primary link between the endocrine and

central nervous systems. Nerve cells and hormones signalthe pituitary gland to secrete or suppress the release of var-ious hormone messages to your other glands. The pituitarygland secretes your growth hormones. The hypothalamuscontrols the autonomic nervous system and acts with thelimbic system to regulate emotional and behavioral pat-terns, regulates eating and drinking, and controls your bodytemperature. It also controls pituitary gland secretions.

In response to stimuli such as stress, pain and emotions,the hypothalamus can exert effects on the pituitary gland toorder to respond to these stimuli.

Adrenals Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kid-neys and regulate your bodys response to stress and are

made of two parts, each of which secretes a separate set ofhormones. The adrenal cortex or outer part produces hor-mones that are vital to life, such as cortisol (which helpsregulate your metabolism and your body respond to stress).The medulla or inner part produces hormones such asadrenaline which helps your body react to stress. Overtime, chronic elevated stress levels can lead to weight gain,

Acupuncture Can Enhance Your Endocrine System and Optimize Your Healthdecreased resistance to infections, fatigue, muscles achesand low blood sugar.

Pancreas Your pancreas makes pancreatic juices andhormones, called insulin and glucagon. Both these hor-mones are secreted directly into your bloodstream, andtogether, they regulate the level of glucose in the blood.Insulin lowers the blood sugar level and increases theamount glucagon (stored carbohydrate) in the liver.Glucagon increases your blood sugar level if it falls too low.If the insulin secreting cells do not work properly, diabetesoccurs.

Pineal Your pineal gland is also referred to as the third

eye. It is the spiritual Third Eye, our inner vision and it isconsidered the seat of the soul. It is located in the center ofthe cranium. It produces the serotonin derivative melatonin,a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep pat-terns and seasonal affective disorders.

As you can see from the information above, yourendocrine system is vital to maintaining homeostasis or bal-ance to your life. A healthy endocrine system whichsecretes just the right amount of specific hormones willslow your aging process and keep you vibrant and healthyas you age.

When treating an endocrine condition with Chinese

Medicine and Acupuncture, my job is to determine the rootcause of your imbalance and then treat both the root causeand the branch (your symptoms). The endocrine system istied to the internal balance of your yin and yang energy. Ilike to use this analogy, imagine that the Yang energy is likegasoline that fuels your car, and the Yin energy is thecoolant for the cars engine. Without the coolant, theengine overheats and begins to burn out. Chinese Medicineand Acupuncture work to make sure the Yin and Yang areequal within the body restoring your internal balance. Theroot of the bodys Qi or energy in Chinese Medicine is theKidney Organ System. Treatment used to strengthen theKidney System and movement of Qi throughout the body is

used to strengthen the Kidney Organ System thereby restor-ing your endocrine glands.

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture has been used forthousands of years to restore hormonal balance, regulateenergy levels, smooth emotions and help manage sleep,treat menstrual problems and reproductive problems.Treatments take you as an individual and your symptomsinto account and are aimed at balancing the energy in yourbody, optimizing your health, restoring your immune func-tion and balancing the production and release of hormonesthrough a variety of approaches ranging from acupunctureand herbal formulas to dietary and lifestyle changes. Many

patients benefit from an integrated Eastern and Westernmedical approach to endocrine health. At Skylands ourpatients are also educated on the various day to day foodand chemicals from household cleaning products that dis-rupt your endocrine system on a daily basis.

disons WesternElectric was a direct

current system andhis fierce competitor wasWestinghouse electric com-pany, which used alternat-ing current. Edison argu-ment against AC power wasso prolific that the feud hadpresented a nasty side ofEdison. Shrewd at market-ing and public relations,Edison set out to find livingexamples on the dangers ofAC power.

Thomas Edison looked forany demonstration to get thepublic to detest and fear thepromotion of AC power. Hefound it by marketing theexecution effectiveness ofAC power over DC. Hisfirst public negative cam-paign on AC power was in1887. He held a publicdemonstration in WestOrange, New Jersey. Edisonconfigured a 1000 voltWestinghouse generator and

connected it to a metal platewhere he executed a dozenanimals with it. This

became the intended specta-cle for the press and a newword was coined - "electro-cution" to explain the fatalapplication.

Harold Pitney Brownwith very little formal train-ing in the field of science orinvention wanted to be asuccessful inventor. Browngot Edisons attention whenhe wrote an editorial in theNew York post of the tragic

incident of a young boy whowas killed by accidentlytouching an exposed tele-graph wire using alternatingcurrent.

Edison would help pro-pel the career of HaroldPitney Brown a formerWestern Electric Companysalesperson who soldEdisons electric pens.Brown had greater aspira-tion than equipment sales.Thomas Edison hired

Brown to work on thedesign of an inferiorElectric Chair using DC

power. In 1888 the NewYork legislature passedelectrocution as the state'smethod of execution.However, there were twodesigns for an electric chair-one using AC and the otherDC power. A committeewas formed to decide on thebest method and Edison sawan opportunity to sway thepublic on the fatality of ACpower with AC the choice

current for capital punish-ment. Edison was deter-mined that executionsshould be carried out byAC. He had instructedHarold Brown to stealthilyprocure and installWestinghouse AC genera-tors in the prison to helpfacilitate the committeechoice in choosing ACpower for executions.Edison also had a key ally toinfluence the committee.

He hired Dr. Fred Petersonas Harold Browns assistanton designing the inferior

DC electric chair forEdison. Coincidently, DrPeterson was also on thecommittee and he helpedsteer the committee intochoosing the AC electricchair. The electrical execu-tion law went into effect onJanuary 1, 1889.

Westinghouse realizedthe negative impact of thisdecision to the publics per-ception of AC power.

Westinghouse refused tosell AC generators to theNew York state prisonauthorities. Edison helpedNY bypass the hurdlesplaced by Westinghouse.Edison provided the ACgenerators the state needed.

Westinghouse even paidthe appeals for the firstinmates sentenced to deathby electrocution on thegrounds that "electrocutionwas cruel and unusual pun-

ishment." Edison and

Brown counter testified thatit was a "quick and painlessform of death." ThomasEdison and the state of NewYork won. For many years,the lexicon for electric chairexecutions was beingWESTINGHOUSED.

These public electrocu-tion spectacles promoted byThomas Edison continuedinto the new century. OnJanuary 4, 1903, Topsy abad-tempered circus ele-

AAUW-NJ Communications VP

The American Association of

University Women New Jersey, Incand Rutgers University School of

Engineering are calling on all New Jersey

High Schools grades 9-11 to participate in a

day of college campus workshops on STEM

(Science Technology Engineering and

Math).

On Thursday May 23, 2013, high school

girls from around the state will have the

opportunity to learn problem-solving skills

by engaging in hands-on workshop sessions

with faculty and students in Technology and

Engineering disciplines.The goal of the program is to encourage

them to explore the many high-demand,

well-paying careers in technology areas.

AAUW's report, Gender Gaps, indicated

that young women lag behind young men in

acquiring technical proficiencies. The

report cites evidence that girls are more

likely to use technology when they see its

real-world applications. This years pro-

grams are:

Kitchen Chemistry How and why do

the things we use everyday (like dish deter-

gent) work.

WaterWater Put together the ulti-

mate super-soaker in Part I, then make it

work in Part II.

Build a BridgeTo Wherever YouWant To Go Use the basics of civil engi-

neering to design and build a safe bridge to

wherever your imagination takes you.

Walk With Technology Work with a

team to design a prosthetic leg that will help

someone walk again.

Clean and Green Work with a team of

engineers to design and test ways to clean

up oil spills that damage our environment.

Wheeeee!! -- Build the most outra-

geously exciting, scary roller coaster you

can imagine. Take A Seat Want to relax at the end

of a long day? Build the best chair ever!

Educators/Chaperones: A STEM

Adventure STEM can take us anywhere

we want to go. This hands-on experience

will show you how.

It is not too late for your school to partic-

ipate in the program with a registration fee

of only $20.00 per person. Please have

your school representative contact Jean

Wadsworth - [email protected]

for more information and registration mate-

rial.
