“Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of all the manmade objects in the world, it’s safe to say that there isn’t much mys-tery in how we built them. We can travel
to a factory and watch a car being built. We can drive down the street and watch a house being constructed. But one type of object has always seemed to stump researchers and that’s the massive pyramids found in Egypt. Of course, there are other pyramids in other places around

the world, but they aren’t nearly as popular or mystifying as the Great Pyramids of Giza. So what’s the big deal about these pyramids anyway? Sure, they’re huge and yes, they’ve been around for thou-sands of years. Okay, maybe that’s enough to be interesting, but Snip-petz couldn’t just leave it at that. We had to go digging ourselves to see what we could unearth about pyramids around the globe!
HISTORY OFTHE PYRAMID
In the beginning, royalty in ancient Egypt was buried in tombs that were carved into rock and covered with fl at-roofed rectangular structures called “mastabas.” These structures date back to about 2950 B.C. and are considered the precursors to pyramids.
Egypt’s oldest known pyramid dates back to 2630 B.C. at Saqqara and was built for the third dynasty’s King Djo-ser. The pyramid originated as a mas-taba but it took on a life of its own and developed into what we now call a Step Pyramid. Supposedly, the pyramid’s architect was Imhotep, a priest and healer who would eventually come to be known as the patron saint of scribes and physicians. During Djoser’s almost 20-year reign, the pyramid builders cre-ated six stepped layers of stone, rather than the traditional mud-bricks used in earlier tombs. Eventually the layers reached a height of 204 feet, earning it the distinction as the tallest building of its time.
The earliest tomb that was constructed as a smooth-sided (rather than step) pyramid was the Red Pyramid at Dah-shur. It was one of three burial struc-tures built for the fi rst king of the fourth dynasty, Sneferu. The name originates from the color of the limestone blocks
used to build the core of the pyramid.
THE GREATPYRAMIDS OF GIZA
These pyramids are almost assuredly what come to mind when someone is referring to a pyramid. Can you really blame them? After all, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids at Giza (the Great Pyramid) is the only struc-ture of the Seven Wonders of the An-cient World that is still standing today. It was built for Khufu, the second king of the fourth dynasty and Sneferu’s successor. It measures about 755 feet on each side at the base and its origi-nal height was 481 feet, offi cially earn-ing it the title of largest pyramid in the world. Around Khufu’s pyramid stand three small pyramids, each built for one of his queens.
In order to build the Great Pyramid, about 2.3 million blocks, weighing on average 2.5 tons each, had to be cut, moved and assembled at the site. Ac-cording to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, construction took 20 years and needed 100,000 men to complete. More recent archaeological evidence points to the time period as about 200 years and that the number of men needed to build it was probably closer to 20,000.
The middle pyramid at Giza was built for Khafre, Khufu’s son. Inside
Khafre’s pyramid complex sits the Great Sphinx, a guardian statue that was the largest statue of its time mea-suring 240 feet long and 66 feet high. The Great Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man and would come to be worshiped as the image of the god Horus.
The last and southernmost pyramid was built for Menkaure, Kahfre’s son. As the smallest of the three pyramids at Giza, it stands 218 feet tall and is con-sidered a precursor to the smaller pyra-mids that Egyptians constructed during the fi fth and sixth dynasties.
Since their original construction, the Great Pyramids of Giza have under-gone some structural changes, specifi -cally, tomb raiders who plundered the smooth white limestone coverings on the outside of them and an earthquake in the 14th century, which loosened many more. Because of this and prob-ably weathering over a few thousand years, the Great Pyramid only stands 451 feet high today.
WHAT’S WITH THE SHINY LIMESTONE?
Originally, the pyramids at Giza were covered with highly polished lime-stone. One estimate indicates that the

original casings were so refl ective that the casing acted like huge mirrors and the refl ected light was so powerful that it would have been visible from the moon. In fact, the ancient Egyptians called the Great Pyramid “Ikhet” which means “Glorious Light.”
THE GREATPYRAMID OF CHOLULAAlthough shorter than the Great Pyra-mid of Giza, the Great Pyramid of Cholula in Puebla, Mexico is actually the largest pyramid in the world, ac-cording to the Guinness Book of World Records. In fact, it’s also the largest monument ever constructed anywhere in the world, with a total estimated vol-ume at over 4.45 million cubic meters (the Great Pyramid of Giza is about 2.5 million cubic meters).
Built in four stages from the third cen-tury B.C. to the ninth century A.D., this pyramid was dedicated to the de-ity Quetzalcoatl. According to myth, it was built out of adobe bricks by a giant named Xelhua after he escaped a fl ood in the nearby Valley of Mexico.
The construction of the Great Pyramid of Cholula more closely resembles a Step Pyramid than a smooth-sided
one but the steps are much fewer and the depth of each step is considerably greater. Today, it appears more like a grassy hill with a church on top.
PYRAMIDSNIPPETZ
The Great Pyramids of Giza • are each aligned with the stars that make up the constellation of Orion’s belt.
Inside the Great Pyramid of • Giza, the Descending Passage points to the star Alpha Draconis.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is • not a four-sided pyramid but actually an eight-sided one. The centers of the four sides are indented ever so slightly, splitting each side into two. This phe-nomenon isn’t visible from the ground or from a distance but only from above and only during sunrise and sunset on the spring and autumn equinoxes.
Three pyramids in ancient • Egypt actually had swivel doors. The Great Pyramid is one of them and it’s said that when it was fi rst opened, the door, a stone weighing about 20 tons, was so well-balanced that it could be easily opened from the inside but when it was closed, it was so perfectly fl ush with the rest of the pyramid’s wall that it could hardly be seen at all.
The pyramids in Egypt were • constructed using a special type of mortar that is stronger than the stone it holds together. No one actually knows what that mortar is made from, though.
Inside the Great Pyramid of • Cholula, archaeologists have recon-structed one side of the lower seg-ments, revealing about fi ve miles of tunnels into the pyramid.
Unlike the pyramids in Egypt, • the Great Pyramid of Cholula contained the remains of over 400 people, includ-ing a number of human sacrifi ces.
The Great Pyramid at Cholula • complex also includes features like murals, alters, courtyards, and possibly a mausoleum containing the remains of an unidentifi able man and woman.

SNIPPETZ™ WEEKLY MAGAZINE
JOYMany people hear the word
joy and they form a defi -nition or picture in their
mind. Many times those pictures or defi nitions are based on childhood teachings. Those teachings could be verbal or illustrative through ob-serving other people’s actions. Are the pictures and defi nitions correct?
One defi nition of joy that is com-mon is to be happy and smiling all the time. Another defi nition of joy that is common is to enjoy this ac-tivity or that activity, such as a wed-ding, party, vacation, or other event.
Both defi nitions have pieces of the joy defi nition, but not entirely.
Joy is the energy of knowing exact-ly whom you are as a person, why you are here (your pathway), and you are living your pathway with passion, even with possible ridicule or judgment. Joy is being purely content with yourself, your passion, your dreams, and your life. Joy is living with integrity and purity of the heart. In this defi nition, a per-son can be happy and smile a lot or the person can truly enjoy certain events. Joy is not fl eeting; it does simply dissipate into depression. True joy is lasting. It remains in the heart.
Living and having joy does not mean you never have a challeng-ing day, a challenging conversa-
tion, or a challenging event. It does not mean you are perfect or that you have healed any and all issues. When one achieves a state of joy, it is because he or she has attained a level of healing where he or she knows self and lives his or her path-way with passion.
Along that pathway is the discov-ery of more parts of self and heal-ing. Sometimes, that can be take a challenging turn, but here is the difference: when a person who has attained joy takes a challenging turn on the healing pathway, he or she works with the challenge or the cause of the challenge and contin-ues on the journey. A person who has not attained joy, but fl eeting feelings of happiness here and there may take that challenge and become

a victim of it and go backwards on the journey to heal. The joy attained is strength that the person has at-tained through the healing process and it continues the journey of the healing process.
Life Energy Flow Tai Yi can as-sist people in attaining that level of healing to get to that place of joy. Not fl eeing moments of happiness, but pure joy. Tai Yi can assist people to uncover what is blocking joy and passion for life so that the person can work with and heal the blocks and then begin to feel joy.

A WORLD OF FLAVOR: WHAT’S
HOT IN 2015Unlike yoga pants, white trainers
and fake fur, the food we eat might be considered more classic than
trendy. The fact is, we all need to eat. Ba-sic and vital as it seems though, food, like fashion, is not without its fads.
More than a succession of fads however, is the history behind what and how we eat. In this column we’ve talked about the how and why of certain foods we’ve grown up eat-ing, and other foods we’ve grown to love. Now, more than ever, our cuisine choices refl ect our vast multicultural population and the willingness of many of us to try something new. Even children, known for their fussy palates, are trying more com-plex fl avors like macaroni and cheese with truffl e oil -- probably due to their forward-eating parents.
In 2015, there is a high-pitched buzz about food. Heat and spice will be hot, a trend that has been growing steadily and now is predicted to explode. Ethnic cuisines from all over the world, with a focus on new and exotic fl avors, will take the stage.
Is it because we are just bored and want something else for dinner? Or is it because we now work and live with people from all over the world and, like people do, we share our food, and in the process discover something new that tastes delicious? It’s probably all these things, and something more. The health of our nation is a grow-ing concern. In our desire to eat for well-ness, we’ve discovered many elements of global cuisines that possess health benefi ts we need while keeping our diets interesting and tasty.
Also on the rise are recipes highlighting umami vegetables, which exhibit the “fi fth taste” that gives food a pleasant, desirable fl avor. Our taste buds are naturally attract-ed to these foods, which include sweet po-tatoes, mushrooms and nori. This year, try using a Japanese Seven Spice mixture in your recipes, or a fl avorful Middle Eastern Shawarma Spice Blend.
My recipe for Chicken Shawarma con-verts what has been a restaurant recipe into a dish that can be prepared at home. The Shawarma spice blend is a cure for taste buds that are tired of the same old chicken dish. It’s an adventurous way to kick off a new year.
SHAWARMA SPICE MIXToasting the spices in a dry pan for 1 min-ute before using them in a recipe enhances the fl avors.
1 tablespoon cumin1 tablespoon ground coriander1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano or thyme1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Mix all ingredients together. This spice mix will keep in an airtight container for about 4 weeks. Makes about 1/4 cup.
CHICKEN SHAWARMA1 1/2 pounds thinly cut skinless, boneless chicken breast1 pound thinly cut skinless, boneless chick-en thighs1/2 cup lemon juice2 tablespoons tomato sauce4 tablespoons plain, Greek yogurt3 tablespoons white vinegar1 head of garlic, crushed2 tablespoons olive oil1 1/2 tablespoons Shawarma Spice Mix 3 Roma tomatoes, sliced into thick rounds4 pita bread rounds
1. Rinse chicken pieces with cold water, then cut horizontally into thinner cuts of about 1/2 inch (each piece could possibly be split into 2 slices depending on thick-ness). Place chicken pieces in large bowl.2. In a blender, mix lemon juice, tomato sauce, yogurt, vinegar, garlic, oil and spice mix. Add the mixture to chicken and mix well. Cover and let marinate in refrigerator at least 4 hours, or overnight.3. When ready, grill marinated chicken and some sliced tomatoes using grill pan on stovetop. Heat grill pan and add 2 table-spoons oil. Or alternately, grill using Pa-nini grill or George Foreman grill for about 15 minutes on medium heat. You also can cook the chicken on a BBQ grill. Baking or broiling in the oven will dry out the chicken.4. Once cooked, allow chicken to cool, and then shred as thinly as possible. Tradition-ally, the pita bread is spread with Lebanese Garlic paste, or you can use a good-quality mayonnaise mixed with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. 5. Spread the chicken shreds along diameter of a piece of pita bread. Some restaurants place French fries inside the sandwich. Others add a cabbage and mayo salad, along with salty Middle Eastern cucumber pickles. You can substitute shredded cole-slaw and sliced dill pickles, if desired, and grilled or fresh tomatoes. Makes 4 serv-ings.

SNIPPETZ™ WEEKLY MAGAZINE
YOGA FORYOUR HEART
It’s been known for a long time that yoga improves overall health, but a recent study points
to evidence that yoga also helps heart health.
Researchers at Harvard Univer-sity did a review of the literature, meaning they went back through past studies to see if there were any patterns. They screened more than 1,400 studies and winnowed them down to 32. These were examined further to answer the questions: Does yoga help heart health? Is it as good as walking for exercise?
The answers: yes and maybe, al-though more trials need to be run. There were improvements in cho-lesterol, weight and blood pressure, all indicators for cardiovascular risk.
One complication in the research is that there are different types of yoga, each with its own focus or purpose.
The one thing any yoga can do is calm the nervous system and reduce stress, and that contributes to heart health.
The American Heart Association likes yoga as a means of relaxation and fl exibility, increasing muscle tone and circulation, and agrees it could help prevent or improve heart disease. (It cautions, however, that it shouldn’t be counted in the 150 minutes of weekly aerobic activity it recommends.)
Yoga classes can be expensive. Your best bet is to check the local senior center, and if it doesn’t have any classes, encourage the center to start some: maybe one focusing on fl exibility and strength, and another on stretching and relaxation, and designed for seniors. Check with a cardiac rehab center for suggestions on yoga classes. Any yoga class you take should be designed for begin-ners.
Ask your doctor before you start yoga, or any other program, to make sure it’s right for you, especially if you have cardiovascular risk fac-tors.

PART 3.3SIX ENEMIES
OF YOUR MINDPROTECT YOUR
MIND FROMGARBAGE
By Ron Ross
“Take out the garbage!” was a command my mother shouted at me when I was a kid. Today I stuff much of it down the garbage disposal; hit the “on” switch for a few seconds
and it all goes down the drain. The rest I wrap tightly in a Walmart grocery bag, place it in the garbage can out back, and once a week a big truck comes by and hauls it all away.
Why take out the garbage? Because it is not worth keeping and I don’t want it to rot, stink and spoil everything else in my refrigerator. Oh that we would do the same thing for our minds: take out the garbage, and for the same reasons.
Mind-garbage is any negative, nasty thought you need to take out of your mind. It is anything that is not worth keeping and anything that
spoils everything else in your mind and heart. There are many kinds of garbage that fi nd entrance into your mind; here are three that, if not taken out, will rot and spoil the rest of your life: The garbage of past failures, the garbage of blame, and the garbage of unforgiveness.
There is nothing easier to recall than past failures. It is as if they are frequent billboards on the road of life that pop-up repeatedly to remind you of what an idiot you are. Here is one way to deal with the garbage of past failures: Turn every failure into a lesson. When you suddenly recall a past failure convert that thought of failure into a lesson for life. Say, “Yes, I made a mistake back then and the lesson I learned was… Now I am smarter, stronger and more successful than ever!” With one easy thought you “take out the garbage” and replace it with fresh thoughts of success.
The garbage of blaming others for your situation is another way to stink up your mind. When you blame your parents, teachers, friends, boss, business partner, mate, the weather, the government or anything else for your misery, all progress ceases. Stop blaming others and take full responsibility for everything that happened in your past. You and only you are responsible for where you are today and where you will be
tomorrow. You are powerless when you blame others but powerful when you accept personal responsibility.
The garbage of unforgiveness can also rot your mind and stink up your future. When you harbor resentment for what someone has said or done to you in the past, you clog your brain with emotional garbage that hurts only you. Refuse to fantasize revenge, instead, forgive. Forgive everyone for anything they have done to you, everyone and anything without reservation whether they deserve it or not, and watch peace of mind, joy of heart and love of others make you a much happier and more successful person.
Take out the garbage in your mind and STORE-UP THE GOOD instead. Your mind is a marvelous creation of God. He has designed it so you can determine what you think about. Think about good things, positive ideas, blessings and benefi ts instead of blunders and burdens. What you think about will determine the person you become. The writer James Allen said, “A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.” Choose wisely.

MANY THINGS CAN CAUSE RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME
DEAR DR. ROACH: Don’t forget that although there are many medical causes of restless leg syndrome, varicose veins also can be a source of symptoms, and we have cured many people of symptoms with minimally invasive varicose vein treatments.
We always recommend that if you have visible varicosities or strong family his-tory of varicose veins, you should get an ultrasound to determine if you have ve-nous insuffi ciency. The treatments have essentially no down time and can mean one less medication for many people. In addition, just because you can’t see vis-ible varicosities does not mean you do not have venous insuffi ciency. We have patients with beautiful legs whose ultra-sound reveals large veins under the sur-face. -- Melissa A. Sandman, M.D.
ANSWER: Thank you for writing. Many people also have written about other causes and treatments for restless leg syndrome, so I wanted to talk a bit more about this important subject.In addition to the iron defi ciency I men-
tioned and the varicose veins Dr. Sand-man writes about, there are several other important causes, including kidney dis-ease, usually when dialysis has started. Diabetics have a higher risk for RLS, which sometimes can be mistaken for diabetic neuropathy. Multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease both are associ-ated with RLS, and Parkinson’s is im-portant because when medicines such as levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet) wear off, it can mimic RLS symptoms. When dopa drugs are used long-term for RLS, symp-toms can get worse, a condition called augmentation.
Pregnant women are more likely to have RLS. Many drugs, especially antidepres-sants, can cause RLS. I had a reader tell me that hers was due to Benadryl she was taking for sleep. Magnesium defi -ciency is common in RLS, and several readers told me magnesium supplements stopped their symptoms.
The booklet on restless leg syndrome provides much more information on this common sleep disorder, and also offers advice on nighttime cramps. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 306W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and ad-dress. Please allow four weeks for deliv-ery.
***
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 92 and have spinal stenosis in my lower back and neck. The neck stenosis is causing a bal-ance problem. Who would treat and/or operate on this -- orthopedist or neurolo-gist? -- J.W.
ANSWER: I would be very slow to rec-ommend surgery on the neck at age 92. I would try other treatments, including medication, physical therapy and pos-sibly injection, before considering sur-gery.
Balance problems may benefi t from problem-specifi c exercises. A neurolo-gist may be very helpful in evaluating whether the symptoms are indeed com-ing from the spinal stenosis, because bal-ance problems can have many different causes.
If symptoms were intolerable despite ev-erything that could be done short of sur-gery, I would fi nd the most experienced surgeon around, which could be either a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon.
***
DR. ROACH WRITES: Quite a few people have written in to recommend nasal saline gel for people with dry nose and recurrent nosebleeds. It is worth a try, especially for those who don’t like petrolatum or for whom it isn’t working.
***
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to an-swer individual letters, but he will incorpo-rate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

MOMENTS IN TIMETHE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On Jan. 23, 1775, London merchants peti-tion Parliament for relief from the fi nancial hardship put upon them by the curtailment of trade with the North American colonies. Most critical to the merchants’ concerns were the 2 million pounds sterling in out-standing debts owed to them.
• On Jan. 19, 1915, during World War I, Britain suffers its fi rst casualties from an air attack when two German zeppelins drop bombs on Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn on the eastern coast of England.
• On Jan. 20, 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt is inaugurated for the second time as president. The Constitution had originally set March 4 as the presidential inauguration date to allow the winner time to travel to the nation’s capital.
• On Jan. 25, 1949, the Academy of Tele-vision Arts & Sciences holds its fi rst an-nual awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The now-famous award statuette “Emmy” was a feminized version of “immy,” the short-
hand term for the image orthicon tube that was used in TV cameras until the 1960s.
• On Jan. 24, 1956, Look magazine pub-lishes the confessions of J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, two white men from Mis-sissippi who were acquitted in the 1955 kidnapping and murder of black teenager Emmett Till. In August 1955, on a visit to relatives, the 14-year-old Till had alleg-edly whistled at a white woman who ran a store.
• On Jan. 21, 1977, President Jimmy Carter grants an unconditional pardon to hundreds of thousands of men who evaded the draft during the Vietnam War. Some 100,000 young Americans went abroad, with 90 percent going to Canada. The Canadian government had instructed border guards not to ask too many questions.
• On Jan. 22, 1981, the fi nal portrait of John Lennon and wife, Yoko, appears on the cover of Rolling Stone. The photo, taken 12 hours before Lennon was assassi-nated, shows a naked Lennon curled up in a fetal embrace with a fully clothed Yoko. Photographer Annie Liebowitz had been told by a Rolling Stone editor, “Please get me some pictures without [Yoko].”

• Some historians claim that Moses had a stutter.
• If you’re like the average American, your vocabulary consists of roughly 45,000 words.

• When the wildly successful 1965 fi lm “The Sound of Music” was released in South Korea, one theater owner felt that the movie was too long. He took it upon himself to remedy the situation -- by cutting out all the musical num-bers.

• If you’re planning a trip to the Cana-dian province of New Brunswick, you might want to include a stop to see the Reversing Falls of St. John. While the St. John River fl ows into the Bay of Fundy at low tide, high tide in the bay is so extreme that it causes the water to reverse itself and fl ow from the bay back into the river.
• It’s been reported that famed chef Ju-lia Child loved to eat corn chips with peanut butter.
• You might be surprised to learn that out of the 362 episodes of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” that were pro-duced over the course of a decade, Hitchcock himself directed only 20.
• Those who study such things say that the fastest-growing sport among high-school students in Minnesota is trap shooting.
***Thought for the Day: “These are bag-pipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equaled the pu-rity of the sound achieved by the pig.” -- Alfred Hitchcock

GO JOB HUNTING AND TAKE A

Most people would prob-ably put job hunting as one of their least favorite
things to do plus marketing yourself as the best candidate can be pain-fully expensive. Lucky for you, you might be able to offset some of those job hunting expenses.
As with any tax benefi t, a few ground rules apply. First, the job you seek must be in the same oc-cupation- an automatic disqualifi -cation for fi rst time job seekers and those switching occupations. Hair dresser turned esthetician might a grey area.
Also, the IRS doesn’t like to see a substantial lapse of time in between jobs. If you took a two-year vaca-tion or became a domestic diva for a couple of years, consider yourself disqualifi ed. For the rest of the job seeking population, you may be able to lower your taxes on your tax return by writing off the following job hunting expenses:
Employment Agency Fees: You can deduct any fees you paid out of pocket for employment, job, or career agencies. Things like Career-Builder and Indeed qualify.
Resume Preparation Fees: Not only is the cost of resume paper and envelopes deductible, but so are the
costs of printing and mailing them. The cost of ink cartridges and mak-ing copies also count. This seems a bit old fashioned, but what the heck.
Travel and Transportation Ex-penses: If some travel is required on your job hunting adventure, you can deduct travel expenses if the primary purpose of your trip is to look for a new job. If you have to drive downtown, across town, or to distant places, you can use the standard mileage to calculate your expenses. Taxi, train, or bus fares are an expense you can deduct. Ex-penses for tolls and parking garages
TAX TALK
with Tina
also count.
As always, keep your receipts and records. Write down all your miles, meetings, and time spent on job hunting activities in a journal or logbook with dates and times. These ensure you leave nothing out at tax time and get the maximum deduc-tion possible.

HOW SECURE IS YOUR NEW
TABLET?
Did you or anyone in your family get a tablet computer over the holidays? Was it an inexpensive
one, perhaps purchased on Black Friday?
If so, beware. You need to check your de-vice for security vulnerabilities. A number of these tablets were sent out with prob-lems that can cause you big headaches ... especially if you’ve given it to a child who intends to sign up at sites online.
Bluebox (bluebox.com), whose business it is to secure mobile data, issued a report
on 14 Android tablets being promoted over the big sales weekend. Eleven cost less than $50. Of the 14, only two were deemed “secure,” while the rest had vary-ing levels and combinations of pre-in-stalled vulnerability, security misconfi gu-rations and even a backdoor. One was so bad that the company’s scanning program had never come across an arrangement quite like that.
To see the names and models of the tablets, go to the Bluebox site and look for “Santa or the Grinch: Android Tablet Analysis for the 2014 Holiday Season.” The bugs found were FakeID, Futex, Masterkey and Heartbleed.
Among Bluebox’s suggested steps to se-cure your mobile device for iOS: get the latest software and check for updates; en-able the security features, such as pass-code, SIM card, restrictions and auto-lock; prompt to join Wi-Fi networks; and turn off Wi-Fi (and your hotspot) when you’re not using it. For the full list of suggestions, go to bluebox.com/ios-user-security-guide.
For Android 4x or 5x, Bluebox has se-curity steps for versions 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) up to 5 (Lollipop). While the iOS guide has 15 steps, there are 21 steps to securing an Android device.
Tablets aren’t the only devices at risk right now. Days after the Bluebox report on tab-lets, another security company, Palo Alto Networks (www.paloaltonetworks.com), found a serious problem on 24 models of mobile phones, including a vulnerability that had been modifi ed “to make it much more diffi cult for antivirus programs to detect the backdoor.”
And that very same day, Akamai Technol-ogies, Inc. (www.akamai.com) disclosed a new cybersecurity threat that targets iOS and Android devices, and can include tricking users into downloading malicious apps, which can lead to denial of service attacks and much, much more.
Nervous yet? Take steps to safeguard your devices. Keep your software up to date, stay away from free Wi-Fi, turn off automatic steps, be careful what apps you download ... and keep an eye on children using these devices.

...BRING CHRIST INTO OUR FINANCIAL LIVES
BEARHUNTINGThere is a lot of talk in the media
these days about the upcoming bear market – a severe downturn
in the stock markets. Some gurus point to the high valuations in stock prices as an indication that we have entered a market bubble. A bubble, that when popped, will start a downward spiral that will result in overall market losses of 20 to 30%. Others are expressing concerns over the amount of new money entering the market and the “irrational exuberance” that comes with it. Some just think it’s been too good for too long and are simply waiting for the other foot to drop. Are they right? Who knows? It seems that every time the market has a sell off the bears come out of the woodwork. At some point they will be right. A bear market is coming. We just don’t know when it’s coming, how long it will be or how severe. You never really know when you’re in a bear market until you are in.
Here are a few points to consider just in case the bear wakes from its long sleep.
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUEJust because the markets are doing some-thing doesn’t mean you have to. In times of volatility, like we are seeing now, it can make sense to do nothing. Many of those who sat out the recession of 2008, and chose to do nothing, are now much better off fi nancially today than they were in 2007. Sometimes procrastination is a virtue. Before you do anything make sure that you know what it is you’re try-ing to achieve and how your actions will support those goals in the short-term and long.
CHECK YOUR EMOTIONS AT THE DOOR
In 2008 many fortunes were lost simply because people panicked. Too many sold
their investments at the bottom, locking in their losses, because they couldn’t stand the pain of seeing their investments go down. Too many of those same investors were rushing, just a few years before, to invest in the markets because they were going up and they didn’t want
lose out. Buying high and selling low is a sure formula for fi nancial ruin. Don’t let your emotions get in the way.
THE CROWD ISGENERALLY WRONG
Warren Buffett is quoted as saying “be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy only when others are fearful.” Those are wise words. In the world of investing I have found that too many have lost too much because they based their investment decisions on what ev-eryone else was doing. Hold your own counsel. Make sure that you understand what you are investing in, what are the consequences of the risk you are taking and what is the likelihood of its success. If you don’t have the time or the skills to do the necessary research, work with someone who does.
STICK TO THE PLANHopefully before you start investing you created a plan. It could be as simple as committing to putting away a part of your paycheck in the company 401(k). Or it could be as complicated as a re-tirement income plan based upon risk analysis for cash needs for you and your spouse as you age. Whatever your plan there was a reason for creating it -- stick to it. For those who committed to invest-ing throughout 2008 and 2009, they were able to buy stocks in wonderful compa-nies at incredibly discounted prices.
CASH IS KINGThere is nothing wrong with taking prof-its and building your cash reserves. When the bear does come there will be a buy-ing opportunity and you will need cash to take advantage of them. Cash also provides a degree of safety and liquid-ity that can see you through an extended downturn in the markets. Just remember that with cash also comes risk – the risk of infl ation. Dollars that you hold today will have a lower purchasing power to-morrow.
As I said before I don’t know when the bear market will come and I don’t believe anyone else does either. But I do know that it will come those who are prepared will be able to withstand any losses and maybe even take advantage of the oppor-tunities. Be prepared.
