Kenyans Mutai and Jeptoo both won titles at today's NYC Marathon.

Geoffrey Mutai successfully defended his title Sunday, while another Kenyan, Priscah Jeptoo won the women's race.

Amateur and professional runners says they felt safe on the course. Security was tight from the moment they arrived at the start. They were corralled into long bag-check lines, with NYPD and volunteers repeatedly reminded them to keep cellphones out.

Throughout this day and during all of your church, social and business meetings, please encourage all attendees to brainstorm for new ideas.

Be inventive, and have fun. Just remember that your objective is to VOTE for the people and by the people, and to vote as early as possible on election day for you, your family and the future of your community and our country.

If your public servant disappointed you in any way, shape or form. Vote them out of office.

MULTILINGUAL WORLD

Submitted by ub on

My family came to this country from Cuba and at home, we spoke Spanish. My parents demanded it in their home; we all stuck with this demand. As an adult, I married a Chinese born wife and as a result, I am now multilingual and multicultural in a world that's no longer monolingual.

There are plenty of benefits, when it comes to working in a world that's slowly transitioning into a place where language plays a big part in marketing, business and networking.

Improving Our Health

Sleep deprivation. Over time, inadequate or poor quality sleep can increase the risk for a number of chronic health problems, including heart disease. Studies have linked short-term sleep deprivation with several well-known contributors to heart disease, including high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood pressure.

Sleep apnea. This common cause of loud, disruptive snoring makes people temporarily stop breathing many times during the night. Up to 83% of people with heart disease also have sleep apnea, according to some estimates.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS BENEFITS?

Daylight Saving Time in 2013 ended in most of the United States at 2 a.m. Nov. 3.

Folks will be setting their clock back one hour, following the adage of “spring forward, fall back.”

The “extra” hour gives you a chance to catch up on the sleep you lost in March when the clocks moved forward and Daylight Saving Time began.

There is no scientific reason to endure this national time shift of losing and gaining hours.

Over one million dollars is being spent this year because now more than ever the safety of runners and spectators is of highest priority.

Their recommendations will further strengthen a comprehensive security plan. There are a number of visible security enhancements in place for this year's race, as well as several behind-the-scenes security elements.
