<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An otherworldly noise that was recorded near the Mariana Trench could be a never-before-heard whale call.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dubbed the "Western Pacific Biotwang," this newly discovered call might be from a minke whale — a type of baleen whale — according to the researchers who documented the vocalization.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regardless of what species it is, this whale has range: The call includes sounds that span frequencies that reach as low as 38 hertz and as high as 8,000 hertz. Humans can hear sounds between 20 and 20,000 Hz. [Listen to the New Whale Call from the Mariana Trench]</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; text-align: start;">"It's very distinct, with all these crazy parts," Sharon Nieukirk, senior faculty research assistant in marine bioacoustics at Oregon State University, </span>said in a statement<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; text-align: start;">. "The low-frequency moaning part is typical of baleen whales, and it's that kind of twangy sound that makes it really unique. We don't find many new baleen whale calls."</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The call was recorded with autonomous seafaring robots, known as "passive acoustic ocean gliders," which can dive up to 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) below the surface. Scientists can send these devices out on solo missions to eavesdrop on whale conversations. Nieukirk and her colleagues collected their acoustic data in the fall of 2014 and the spring of 2015, in an area in the Pacific Ocean east of Guam around the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean.

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The twangy, five-part call, which lasts up to 3.5 seconds, was recorded regularly during both the fall and spring. The researchers hope that other scientists will identify the call in other data sets so that they can confirm the source. But in their description of the whale call in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Nieukirk and her colleagues wrote that they suspect a minke whale is responsible for the new call.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because of the call's complex structure, frequencies and metallic-sounding conclusion, the researchers think that it most closely resembles the regionally specific calls that are produced by a group of dwarf minke whales off the northeast coast of Australia. (Those calls sound a bit like "Star Wars" sound effects.) They added that there are several types of minke whales in the survey area, but not much is known about their behavior — especially their vocal behavior.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We don't really know that much about minke whale distribution at low latitudes," Nieukirk said. "The species is the smallest of the baleen whales, doesn't spend much time at the surface, has an inconspicuous blow, and often lives in areas where high seas make sighting difficult. But they call frequently, making them good candidates for acoustic studies."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The call still needs to be translated. Most baleen whales use specific vocalizations for seasonal breeding and feeding, but this call — since it seems to occur all year — may have a complex function, the researchers said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"If it's a mating call, why are we getting it year-round? That's a mystery," Nieukirk said. "We need to determine how often the call occurs in summer versus winter, and how widely this call is really distributed."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 16px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It wouldn't be the first time minke whales have puzzled scientists with their calls. In 2014, scientists solved a 50-year-old mystery when they figured out that the so-called "bio-duck" sound that was often recorded in the Southern Ocean was being produced by Antarctic minke whales.</span></div>

Whether it's as a gift or just to treat yourself, getting a new smartphone is awesome.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Once you've adjusted settings, downloaded apps and imported your contacts, you might be left with one last question: What do I do with my old smartphone?</div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
It's not as simple as shutting it down and stuffing it in a junk drawer. There are several ways you can use that old phone to your advantage, including trading it in or giving it to a family member or close friend.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Before we dig in to your options, there are two big steps you must take before passing it on: Back up the device's data, then erase and restore the device to what it was when it first came out of the box.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
The backup will save you the trouble of inputting your contacts into your new smartphone. Erasing and restoring your old phone will prevent anyone from getting access to any data such as contacts or social media accounts. Let's break down the process by operating system:</div>
<h2 class="presto-h2" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #222222; font-family: "Futura Today Demibold", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: normal; margin: 20px 0px 20px 60px;">
APPLE iOS</h2>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
You can back up your iPhone either wirelessly through iCloud or by plugging your phone into a computer and using iTunes. Then, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will completely wipe the smartphone.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: "futura today demibold" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 24px; text-align: center;">GOOGLE ANDROID</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Because there are so many Android devices, the process will vary. The best way to back up data is through your Google account. It should be available in Settings under "Back up and Restore Data," or something similar. The same goes for erasing the content and settings on your phone, although for Android, you will want to take the extra step of encrypting your phone before erasing data.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
OK, now that the phone is back in default form, let's review your choices:</div>
<h2 class="presto-h2" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #222222; font-family: "Futura Today Demibold", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: normal; margin: 20px 0px 20px 60px;">
GIVE IT TO A RELATIVE OR A FRIEND</h2>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Maybe your husband or wife wants a new phone but aren't hung up on having the latest model; or you have a small child and want them to have their own device. For adults, it's simple: Give them the phone and they can replace their old phone. Giving your old phone to kids is good, too, since you don't need to have the phone connected (making it a Wi-Fi only device) and you can tailor the experience using parental controls and other settings to best manage the experience, especially if it's for a younger child.</div>

There are plenty of places you can accomplish this, whether it's through your wireless carrier, the phone maker itself or through third-party sites like Gazelle or Amazon. But do your homework. The price you get will vary depending on several factors — most important, the condition of your smartphone. Also, some outlets are more generous than others on the value of your trade-in.</div>
<h2 class="presto-h2" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #222222; font-family: "Futura Today Demibold", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: normal; margin: 20px 0px 20px 60px;">

If you're hoping to make a little extra off that old smartphone, you could try to sell it through eBay or Craigslist. The benefit here is you might be able to snag a little more cash for your phone, depending on condition.</div>
<h2 class="presto-h2" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #222222; font-family: "Futura Today Demibold", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: normal; margin: 20px 0px 20px 60px;">

Due to a variety of apps, smartphones can tackle a lot of clever roles, such as security camera, remote, digital photo frame, digital camera or something as simple as a dedicated entertainment device (load all those songs and movies on the old phone and save space on the new one).</div>
<div class="story-asset oembed-asset" id="module-position-PmnZCErQRN0" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

Reports of mall disturbances light up social media

About 10 people were injured during a melee at the Jersey Gardens mall in Elizabeth on Sunday evening, Mayor Chris Bollwage said in a tweet.</div>

The injuries were non-life-threatening, Bollwage said. A fight in the food court led to false reports of a shooting after a chair was thrown and hit the ground loudly, officials said.</div>

Posts on social media showed police with machine guns responding to the food court. Police evacuated the building as a precaution, and hours later there were still long lines waiting for NJ Transit buses as it began to rain.</div>

In Tennessee, Memphis police arrested seven people and had an eighth in custody Monday evening following melees at two malls that sent crowds scurrying and shut down Oak Court Mall early.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
The two incidents were similar to others across the country, but Memphis police couldn't confirm any sort of coordinated effort  just a lot of social media chatter.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
No one was injured in the local disturbances at Oak Court and Wolfchase Galleria and, despite reports to the contrary, no gunshots were fired. The disturbances did, however, cause Oak Court operators to shut down the East Memphis mall hours early Monday evening and, according to some reports on social media, left Wolfchase patrons detained inside stores for a time. </div>
<div style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
<br />
MPD Deputy Chief Terry Landrum said outside Oak Court that the situation started at Wolfchase about 6:30 p.m.<br />
<br />
"Somebody yelled 'gun!' and youths stampeded through the mall," Landrum said. "Pretty much the same thing happened here (at Oak Court).<br />
<br />
"A kiosk was knocked over, there was some other damage, but there were no shots fired. We had officers in both malls."<br />
<br />
Landrum said six were arrested at Wolfchase and another person was in custody. One person was arrested at Oak Court after she bumped an officer with a car. Identities of those arrested were not available, and Landrum didn't know if they were all juveniles.<br />
<br />
Asked if the incidents were connected, possibly with other incidents across the nation, Landrum wasn't sure, but said there was a lot of talk on social media. He said he heard rumors of incidents at other locations in Memphis Monday evening but wasn't aware of any other confirmed activity.</div>

Authorities said a confrontation broke out between teens in the mall food court at about 4:40 p.m. and quickly escalated, the station said. Fayetteville Police tweeted that there were unconfirmed reports of shots being fired, and the mall, not police, made the decision to evacuate. There were no shooting victims or property damage, according to police.</div>

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is one of the leading causes of death across the globe, accounting for 8.2 million deaths in 2012.</div>

In terms of prevention, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend making healthy lifestyle and dietary choices, such as avoiding tobacco and alcohol, as well as staying physically active and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.</div>

New research reinforces the idea that low-dose aspirin intake may also help to prevent cancer and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.</div>

The suggestion that a small dose of aspirin may help to prevent cancer is not new. In September 2015, the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommended the daily use of a small dose of aspirin to help to prevent cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer.</div>

The research was conducted by scientists from Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) in collaboration with Oregon State University (OSU), and the results were published in the journal <em style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">AJP-Cell Physiology</em>.</div>

"The benefit of aspirin may be due to its effect on blood cells called platelets, rather than acting directly on tumor cells," says senior author Owen McCarty, a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at OHSU.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
Platelets are tiny blood cells that help a healthy body to form clots, in order to stop the bleeding when necessary.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
It seems that our blood platelets also increase the levels of a certain protein that may support cancer cells and help them to spread. This "oncoprotein" is called c-MYC.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
The biological function of c-MYC is to regulate the expression of over 15 percent of all the genes of the human body. The c-MYC regulator controls the life-and-death cycle of cells, the synthesis of proteins, and the cells' metabolism.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
However, research has shown that in human cancers, this oncogene is overexpressed.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The researchers from this latest study explain that aspirin reduces the ability of blood platelets to raise levels of the c-MYC oncoprotein.</span></div>

Craig Williams, a professor in the OSU/OHSU College of Pharmacy and co-author of the study, further explains the process.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">

"Early cancer cells live in what is actually a pretty hostile environment, where the immune system regularly attacks and attempts to eliminate them," he says. "Blood platelets can play a protective role for those early cancer cells and aid metastasis. Inhibition with aspirin appears to interfere with that process and c-MYC may explain part of that mechanism."</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal;">The researchers note that almost a third of colon cancer patients and 42 percent of patients with pancreatic cancer had overexpression of the c-MYC oncoprotein.</span></div>

BOGOTA (Reuters) - Errors by the pilot, airline and Bolivian regulators are to blame for a plane crash in Colombia that killed 71 people last month, including most of Brazil's Chapecoense soccer team, Colombia aviation authorities said on Monday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="24" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The plane, operated by Bolivia-based charter company LaMia, crashed on a wooded hillside near Medellin because the pilot failed to refuel en route and did not report engine failures caused by the lack of fuel until it was too late, officials said.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="25" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
"No technical factor was part of the accident, everything involved human error, added to a management factor in the company's administration and the management and organization of the flight plans by the authorities in Bolivia," Colombia's Secretary for Air Safety Colonel Freddy Bonilla told journalists.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="26" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Aviation authorities in Bolivia and the airline "accepted conditions for the flight presented in the flight plan that were unacceptable," Bonilla added.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="27" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Besides a lack of fuel, the plane was over its weight limit by nearly 400 kilograms (881 lbs) and was not certified to fly at the altitude at which the journey took place, Bonilla said.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="28" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The preliminary conclusions of Colombia's investigation coincide with assertions by Bolivian authorities last week that LaMia and the plane's pilot were directly responsible for the accident.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="29" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Pilot Miguel Quiroga was also a co-owner of the airline and was killed in the crash.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="30" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Gustavo Vargas Gamboa, LaMia's chief executive, was jailed pending trial earlier this month on manslaughter and other charges, which he has denied.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="31" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
His son Gustavo Vargas Villegas, a former official with Bolivia's aviation authority, is also being held on charges that he misused his influence in authorizing the license of the plane that crashed. He also says he is innocent.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="32" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Criminal charges have also been brought against LaMia co-owner Marco Antonio Rocha Benegas, whose whereabouts are unknown, and air traffic controller Celia Castedo, who fled Bolivia after the crash and is seeking asylum in Brazil.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="33" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Bolivian authorities have said the crash was an isolated incident, but that the government will accelerate the process of implementing a new safety system. Colombian investigators have the final word on causes of the crash, Bolivian authorities have said.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="34" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The aircraft had been transporting the Chapecoense team to the biggest game in its history, the final of the Copa Sudamericana.</div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid="35" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
All but three of the players and staff onboard were killed. Two crew members and one reporter also survived.</div>

To calm a nagging cough that keeps you awake at night, take 2 teaspoons of honey (1 to 2 teaspoons for kids; don't give to children younger than 1), along with 500 mg of Ester C 30 minutes before bed. The vitamin C (nonacidic Ester type won't upset stomachs) boosts the immune system in the early stages of your cough. Research shows that honey works better than either a cough suppressant or no treatment at all for relieving children's nocturnal cough and promoting sleep. </div>

Sip linden flower tea, which works in two ways: It stimulates the hypothalamus to better control your temperature, and it dilates blood vessels, inducing sweating. Steep 1 tablespoon of dried herb (available in health food stores) in a cup of hot water for 15 minutes, then sip. Drink three to four cups a day. If you still run hot after a day of sipping tea, seek medical attention. </div>

For a high fever (above 102°F), take a tepid bath, which simply cools the body to match the water temperature. Bathe until your temperature decreases to 101° to 102°F, then sip linden flower tea to lower it even more.</div>

Take two enteric-coated peppermint capsules (500 mg each) three times daily. Peppermint kills bacteria that cause bloating and relaxes gastrointestinal muscles for smoother, spasm-free digestion. The enteric coating prevents capsules from opening in the stomach and increasing discomfort by causing heartburn and indigestion. The peppermint releases and goes to work lower in the gastrointestinal tract, where gas-plagued people need it most.</div>

Soak feet nightly in 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water to eliminate odoriferous bacteria. Or take a daily foot bath in strong black tea (let it cool first) for 30 minutes. Tea's tannins kill bacteria and close the pores in your feet, keeping feet dry longer; bacteria tend to thrive in moist environments. You'll see results in a few days to a week. One caution: Do the soak only when your feet are free of cuts.</div>

Sip a faux hot toddy. Cut a vitamin C–rich lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half into a cup. Studies show that vitamin C taken before the onset of a cold shortens its duration and severity. Drop the lemon half shell into the cup. Add boiling water and a teaspoon of organic raw honey, an immunity booster that also coats painful throat tissues. Breathe in the healing vapor to open sinuses, and sip a cupful two or three times daily to fight the bug. (To make a traditional hot toddy, add a half shot of brandy.)</div>

A stiff neck results from slowed circulation and lymph flow to muscle tissues. Use contrast hydrotherapy—a quick blast of hot, then cold water—to get the blood pumping again. In the shower, first run hot water over your neck for 20 seconds to increase blood flow, then switch to cold for 10 seconds to constrict blood flow. Alternate three times, always ending with cold. When you get out of the shower, your body will send the blood back out to the skin, which results in a final dilation of blood vessels and—voilà!—a looser neck. </div>

Then steep yourself in a hot bath to relax your muscles and your mind. In bed, rest your head on a lavender-filled pillow—the fragrance induces sleepiness. (Bonus: Cherries can help prevent gout attacks.)</div>

Black tea is chock-full of astringent compounds called tannins that can help deflate and tighten the bags under your eyes. (Not to mention black tea is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.) Activate the tannins in a tea bag by dipping in a cup of hot water for several minutes. Cool in the fridge, then apply the damp bag as a compress to the closed eye for 10 minutes.</div>

Crush a few fresh strawberries into a scrubbing pulp that you mix with a pinch of stain-removing baking soda and enough water to make a paste. Apply the mixture to a soft-bristled toothbrush and polish for a few minutes once every 3 or 4 months. (More often can erode tooth enamel.) The astringent malic acid in strawberries helps buff coffee and red-wine stains from teeth.</div>

Try relaxing magnesium (200 to 400 mg) to reduce the muscle tension and spasms that can cause your noggin to throb. But not any type will do. Make sure the supplement contains at least 200 mg of active elemental magnesium. Because magnesium is more preventive than curative, the treatment works best on, say, premenstrual headaches because you can predict when they're coming and take a dose a day in advance. Those with kidney problems should consult a health care practitioner before taking magnesium. </div>

Put whole oats in a clean, dry sock. Seal the open end with a rubber band, and then drop the sock into a warm or hot bath. Soak yourself for 15 to 20 minutes. </div>

Douse a cotton makeup pad with isopropyl alcohol, hold it up to your nose, and take a few deep breaths (no more than three in a 10-minute period).

Eat less salt, saturated fats, sweets, and red meats. Avoid trans fats. Avoid food with “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” ingredients. Variety in your diet is a good way to get all the nutrients you need.</li>

Yoga, meditation, dedicated time to unwind after work -- these can help keep your stress levels down. Stressful emotions such as anger and hostility may also lead to heart attack risk, so keep calm and be cool. </li>
<li style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 25.6px; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;" value="3"><strong style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ban smoking. </strong>If you never started smoking, kudos! If you already quit, excellent. If you still smoke, stop. Talk to your doctor to find out what method will work best for you.  Even people who smoke fewer than five cigarettes a day can have early signs of heart disease. Start now. In just 1 year you can reduce your risk of a heart attack. </li>

Stress management, a healthy diet, and regular exercise can help you manage your blood pressure. Your doctor may also prescribe medications to lower your levels. </li>

Work with your doctor to control your levels.  That may lower your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Remember, you can’t tell if you have diabetes (or high blood pressure, or high cholesterol) based on how you feel.</li>

When blood flows through your heart, it can drop traces of cholesterol, fat, and calcium, creating a buildup of plaque in your arteries. Too much of it makes a heart attack more likely. If you don’t know your cholesterol levels, ask your doctor for a blood test.</li>

Keep in mind, there are two kinds of cholesterol. One is bad for your heart (LDL), and the other can protect you from heart disease (HDL). You can improve your levels with exercise and a diet low in unhealthy fats. Some people may also need to take medicine that lowers cholesterol.</div>

How Donald Trump helped build Canada’s ice-rink empire

As the story goes, the future U.S. president woke at 6 a.m. on May 22 and read a front-page story in The New York Times about a skating rink that left him bristling with rage.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But because this was 1986 – and not 2016 – Donald Trump did not tweet venom; rather, he put pen to paper and drafted a scathing letter to his nemesis Ed Koch, then mayor of New York.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The fateful battle that followed over one of Manhattan’s public jewels, Wollman Rink, would launch a grand makeover of Mr. Trump’s public persona – from second-rate developer into can-do tycoon fit to eradicate government mismanagement – that he has ridden all the way to the White House.</div>
<div id="fsk_splitbox_266_onscreen" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Palatino, "Book Antiqua", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Less known is the story of how this pivotal piece of the Trump mythology that earned an entire chapter in his bestselling 1987 memoir <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Art of the Deal</em> also established a Canadian ice-rink company as an international powerhouse.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“It wasn’t until that book came out that our phones started ringing off the hook,” said David Sinclair, Ontario general manager of CIMCO Refrigeration, today the world’s most prominent rink-maker.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
By the time Mr. Trump penned his letter, Wollman Rink – in the southeastern corner of Central Park and among the largest public skating rinks on the continent – had become a symbol of government ineptitude. Closed in 1980 for a planned 2 1/2-year, $4.7-million (U.S.) renovation, the rink had $12-million poured into it before city officials announced on that day in May, 1986, plans to scrap all previous efforts and start over from scratch.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If all went according to plan – and there was no reason to believe it would – Wollman Rink would reopen in 1988.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I and all other New Yorkers are tired of watching the catastrophe at Wollman Rink,” Mr. Trump wrote in a letter that was later picked up in city newspapers. “The incompetence displayed at this simple construction project must be considered one of the greatest embarrassments of your administration.”</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He went on to propose a far-fetched plan: Mr. Trump himself would personally direct and bankroll the reconstruction effort and get Wollman Rink running within six months for just $3-million.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I believed the rink was something that hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, including my own children, had a right to enjoy,” Mr. Trump later wrote in <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Art of the Deal</em>. “Whatever anyone might think, my motive was that simple.”</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
At first, Mr. Koch mocked the developer’s offer. But New Yorkers tend to embrace chutzpah, especially at the expense of a politician, and they rallied around Mr. Trump’s idea. The mayor relented.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
That’s how a man who doesn’t skate and never wanted to be in the ice business found himself presiding over the biggest outdoor-rink project in the country. It was a stretch, and he knew it.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Since I myself knew absolutely nothing about building rinks, I set out to find the best skating-rink builder I could,” he wrote. “Logic suggested the best place to look was Canada.”</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Advisers pointed him toward CIMCO, a 75-year-old Toronto-based company that was, at the time, responsible for the ice in both Maple Leaf Gardens and the Montreal Forum. Any company entrusted with those hallowed hockey shrines was good enough for the Donald.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Just like so many prospective cabinet members in recent weeks, three CIMCO employees were summoned to Trump Tower. They quickly diagnosed Wollman’s problem. Most artificial ice sheets use ammonium as a primary refrigerant. In New York, however, ammonium was banned. The city had opted to use liquid Freon instead, a more energy-efficient but less reliable system using fragile copper piping.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“The city was pumping in millions of dollars just trying to keep the Freon in it,” said CIMCO’s Mr. Sinclair, who wasn’t involved in the deal but heard the story recounted by his late father-in-law Roy Gardner, a participant at the initial Trump Tower meeting. “The rink was down more than it was up.”</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Canadians proposed an easy fix: Swap the Freon for a brine solution – essentially salt water – and pump it through plastic piping, a pricier but far more dependable way of creating ice.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“It was a dull, Canadian response,” said then-CIMCO president Steve McLeod in a 1987 Globe and Mail article.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr. Trump was taken with the northern ice gurus. He hired the Toronto firm to advise and build 35 kilometres of pipe along with two 16,000-kilogram refrigeration units. He promised to treat CIMCO’s crew well – too well, as it turned out.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We sent a crew down from Toronto and Trump paid to put them up in the Plaza,” Mr. Sinclair said, referring to the opulent Manhattan hotel that Mr. Trump would purchase two years later. “Well, the guys showed up at this fancy hotel in their trade clothes and they felt very uncomfortable. So [we] called Trump and said, ‘We appreciate the kind offer to put our guys up in a really nice hotel. They would be better off in a Holiday Inn.’”</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For months, Mr. Trump kept a close watch on the project from his nearby penthouse perch through a high-powered telescope, according to family biographer Gwenda Blair.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He stoked media interest with regular news conferences, where he boasted of a project running ahead of schedule and under budget.</div>
<div class="selectionShareable" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Garuda, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“My father-in-law said he was bold, brash, very much a showman,” Mr. Sinclair said.</div>

On Oct. 15, the ice crew conducted its first test, sending brine through the pipes. “That night, following a rainfall, ice formed on the rink – beautiful, clear, long-awaited ice,” Mr. Trump recounted in his book.</div>

The project was completed two months ahead of schedule and $750,000 under budget, figures Mr. Trump would cite for years to demonstrate the superiority of his singular will over bureaucratic inertia.</div>

Mr. Trump gave CIMCO ample credit in <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Art of the Deal</em>, placing a glowing company endorsement in the hands of more than one million book buyers.</div>

“We always had strength in Canada with a little presence in the States,” Mr. Sinclair said. “The book gave huge exposure to CIMCO … The U.S. business was fostered after ’86, after that book was written.”</div>

Now, with more than 5,500 rink projects to its credit, CIMCO is the go-to company for prospective arena-builders worldwide. Rinks make up about 40 percent of the firm’s revenues – most of the rest comes from commercial refrigeration applications – which have grown from $37-million in 1985 to over $230-million last year. The company is responsible for the ice beneath the NHL’s newest franchise, the Las Vegas Golden Knights as well as rinks in Beijing, Lahore and Moscow.</div>

During a recent basement renovation, Mr. Sinclair found a token of the future president’s appreciation, a framed memento featuring a reproduction of a newspaper article detailing CIMCO’s involvement in the project, an artist’s rendering of the rink and a picture of Mr. Trump. He’s not sure what to do with it. “It really predates much of the news today and how people feel about him,” Mr. Sinclair said. “It’s history, it happened.”</div>

As for Mr. Trump, he can still admire the CIMCO installation between meetings with foreign power brokers, future cabinet members, and Kardashian spouses. Just don’t expect him to don a pair of skates.</div>

“I get a real kick every time I look out the window of my living room in Trump Tower and see hundreds of skaters on the Wollman Rink,” he wrote in his memoir. “However, I won’t be one of them. People have been waiting for years to watch me fall. I’m not about to help the cause.”</div>
