In this Sept. 1, 2014 photo released by the U.S. Geological Survey, fluid lava streams from the June 27 lava flow from the Kilauea volcano in Pahoa, Hawaii. The June 27 lava flow is named for the date it began erupting from a new vent. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory issued a warning Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014 to a rural community in the path of a lava flow on Hawaii's Big Island, as the molten rock moved to within a mile of homes. Observatory scientists said lava from the Kilauea volcano could reach the Kaohe Homesteads in five to seven days if it continues advancing through cracks in the earth.
PAHOA, Hawaii — Lava from one of the world's most active volcanos has been advancing at a slower pace the past few days and is now moving parallel to a sparsely populated subdivision on Hawaii's Big Island.
Lava from Kilauea volcano was still at least a mile from any homes in Kaohe Homesteads, Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira said.
Oliveira took a helicopter flight over the area Monday and saw the lava had crept about 150 yards from the previous day. It's moving north for now but could still stop or change directions.
"It's been doing that for the last several days," he said of its northern pull. Prior to Friday, it was going northeast toward the subdivision.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has warned the lava could reach the subdivision in a matter of days.
Oliveira said he didn't anticipate issuing an evacuation order Monday. But residents should be prepared because it's difficult to predict the lava's movement. It was also raining over the flow site, he noted, which meant there wasn't a wildfire threat.
"That's good for today," he said. "But it doesn't get us out of any potential threat down the road. It just means it's going to be a very slow process."
The lava warning has created an "edgy" mood in Puna, the rural region on the southeast side of the Big Island that is at risk from the lava, said Bill Parecki, a real estate agent who has lived in the area for 42 years. The area is still recovering from the damage from a tropical storm about a month ago.
"Everybody's a little concerned," he said. "Everybody's a little worried. We just have to see where the lava goes. There's no control. It's Mother Nature."
A big concern is lava crossing roads and blocking Puna off from the rest of the island, or becoming "lava-locked," he said.
Business has been quiet since Tropical Storm Iselle made landfall over the region last month, said Mary Bicknell, owner of Big Island Book Buyers, a bookstore in downtown Pahoa.
"We're always watching it, but we're not usually threatened by it," she said of the lava.

Written objectives for vocabulary lessons provide students with the desired outcomes in advance of each lesson plan or activity. This helps students focus on the key vocabulary skills and information you want them to learn from the lesson. Objectives also help you construct more complex lessons and activities based on a concise plan.
Learning objectives should be written in a concise manner. Begin each objective with a stem that places the student in the lesson or activity, such as "By the end of this lesson, the student will..." Next, include an active verb that the students will perform, such as "learn" or "understand." Finally, define the vocabulary objective that students are to grasp by the end of the lesson.
Include information that is specific to the vocabulary lesson or activity. If the lesson incorporates material from a reading assignment, reference information from the text in the learning objective so students can properly utilize their texts. For writing assignments and other activities, include specific vocabulary knowledge that students are expected to learn in each activity. Specific details create a clear definition of the lesson plan. This helps students focus and apply their studies.
Include new words that students will learn from the lesson, such as "preposition" or "predicate." Many students may not know these vocabulary words in advance. Including them in the lesson plan objective highlights these words for students so that they have a list of keywords to pay special attention to. This also gives students an easy way to look up unknown words that are not defined in the lesson plan so that they can understand the lesson or activity.
An example of a vocabulary learning objective dealing with a phonetics activity might be "In this activity, the student will learn and practice the proper pronunciation of 10 vocabulary words." For lectures and reading assignments, highlight the information students are to learn, as in this objective: "After this lesson, the student will understand the eight parts of speech and how they function." For worksheet activities, make the objective specific to the action to be completed, such as with this objective: "In this exercise, the student will circle the correct verb from the given choices to properly complete each sentence."

There’s no denying that turtlenecks fall under the category of trickier tops to wear. But when it comes to covering up, sometimes more layers mean more style. Throw away your misconception that this cold-weather staple is unflattering. It’s chic, clean & slimming. Paired with the right layers & accessories (or none at all), this versatile piece gets a check for “cool” in our book. Here’s how to style this timeless top.
Pair a classic knit turtleneck in a solid dark color like navy, black or grey with a contrasting pant in crisp white or cream. Don’t have white trousers or jeans? A pair of khaki chinos or even light-wash jeans will do the trick too.
Stylist Tip: Surprise, you can wear a necklace with a turtleneck. Try pairing long, delicate chains to create an interesting, elongated neckline.
An ultra-chic pairing: a turtleneck & blazer. Not only does the neckline peeking under the collar of your blazer give you instant street-style cred, but it adds dimension to your look. No accessories needed! Just throw on boyfriend jeans, booties & a crossbody satchel for a carefree yet polished look.
Stylist Tip: The key here is to wear a turtleneck in a fine, lightweight knit. That way, you can alternate between wearing it on its own (at a restaurant, per se) to layering it under jackets (once you step outside).
As we’ve stated, the turtleneck is effortlessly sleek. But, if you’re looking to up your style ante, take it tonal for an instantly office-approved outfit. For a twist, try navy. It’s less severe than black (although we love all-black everything), but it maintains the city-inspired look you’re going for.
Stylist Tip: Going all-over tonal? Try a pair of neutral heels. They will elongate your silhouette & keep your style simple & elegant.
Do you dare hop on this trend and wear a turtleneck? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
Bengaluru — Gold prices rose on Thursday as the growing expectation that the US Federal Reserve will pause its rate tightening cycle in 2019 and an impasse between US President Donald Trump and Democrats on funding for a border wall weighed on the dollar.
Spot gold was up 0.2% at $1,295.85/oz as of 4.36am GMT, hovering near Friday’s peak of $1,298.42 — a level last seen in mid-June.
US gold futures gained 0.4% to $1,297.2/oz.
Minutes from the Fed’s December 18-19 policy meeting showed that several policymakers said they could be patient about future interest rate hikes and a few did not support the central bank's rate increase that month.
“Gold is getting a bit of support out of a dovish Fed and institutional instability in the US,” said Kyle Rodda, a market analyst at IG, Australia.
“We have got the markets pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut rather than a hike in the year ahead,” Rodda said, adding that the Fed minutes gave the dollar a bit of a “kick down” and there were chances for gold prices to break the $1,300 level with the present sentiment.
The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against major currencies, hit its lowest level in nearly three months.
Gold prices are highly sensitive to declining interest rates, which decrease the opportunity cost of holding the nonyielding bullion while pressuring the dollar.
Meanwhile, Trump walked out of talks with Democratic congressional leaders on Wednesday over funding for a border wall with Mexico and reopening the government, saying the meeting in the White House was “a total waste of time”.
Asian equities took a breather after an extended rally, as markets awaited more news on US-China trade talks that have raised the hope of a deal to avert an all-out trade war between the economic giants.
China’s commerce ministry said on Thursday that trade talks between Washington and Beijing were progressing, but gave no details on the issues at stake.
“With the government shutdown still far from resolved and Chinese trade talks just partly concluded, we are not sure that the turbulence in the equity markets is over just yet,” INTL FCStone analyst Edward Meir said in a note.
Holdings in the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), SPDR Gold Trust, rose 0.33% to 799.18 tons on Wednesday.
Among other precious metals, silver was flat at $15.75/oz.
Palladium fell 0.5% to $1,320.50/oz. It scaled a record high of $1,342.43 on Wednesday after a Chinese official said the government was contemplating policies to increase domestic buying of cars.
Platinum inched up 0.1% to $825.60.

1 in 3 people in the UK take a supplement of one kind or another, and those with ill health are high on the list. The most popular supplements are multi-vitamins containing anti-oxidants closely followed by Vitamin C. Claims range from helping stave off Alzheimer’s, Arthritis and Cancers to actually prolonging life which, if true, make them more potent than most drugs yet supplements are not regulated in the same way as drugs – in fact, they’re not regulated at all.
I watched a fascinating BBC Horizon documentary last Thursday night called ‘Vitamin Pills: Miracle or Myth’ which looked at 60 years of research into Vitamin supplements and it made for interesting, and at times worrying, viewing. It started off by measuring the vitamins and minerals in the blood of 3 people of differing ages, sexes and diets. One was a female student who had an addiction to Curly Fries and admitted she ate like crap. The other was a 30-something female yoga teacher who ate a ‘healthy’ diet with loads of fresh fruit and veg and very little processed food, and the third was the reporter, a middle aged Chinese man who loved takeaways washed down with a beer. When measured, all three had the recommended levels of vitamins and minerals in their bodies…………….well, all except the woman with the ‘healthy’ diet who was ironically lacking in iron. For the most part we are all getting enough nutrients from our food, whatever kind of diet we follow.
There are, however, groups of people who may need supplementation. If you are housebound or your working life means you spend hardly any time outdoors you will probably need a Vitamin D supplement. If you are a female teenager or female adult with heavy periods you may need an iron supplement. If you are pregnant you should take a folic acid supplement, and if you have any kind of dietary restrictions, eg. Coeliac Disease, you may need extra help. But, on the whole, most of us are getting enough, or more than enough, vitamins and minerals from our food. I haven’t eaten meat for 25 years yet only became deficient in iron when a) I had to change my diet due to my Histamine Intolerance and b) this coincided with heavier periods due to the peri-menopause. All my other levels, including B12, have always been either good or excellent.
The whole ‘free radical/oxidative stress’ argument for taking anti-oxidants was started by one researcher in the 1950s. He discovered that exercise initiated a period of oxidative stress within the body which, he assumed, was bad for us so looked at ways of counter-acting it using anti-oxidant supplements. This snowballed over the next few decades as companies joined the band wagon and before we knew it anti-oxidants were miracle supplements which counter-acted free radical damage, staved off aging, made us look and feel younger, warded off diseases and actually prolonged our lives. The only problem being it’s bunkum. More recent research has shown that the oxidative stress produced by our bodies after exercise is actually needed and if we interfere with that we are actually harming ourselves! One researcher looked back at trials from the last 50 years from all over the world and concluded that taking anti-oxidant supplements either had zero effect on disease and wellbeing or, more worryingly, actually increased mortality (one study was stopped after the mortality rate from lung cancer increased by 28% for those taking antioxidant supplements).
We’re also encouraged via persuasive marketing to buy various herbs and foods which have been condensed down into supplement form. The programme looked at Green Tea which you can buy condensed into a pill and which, after only 3 months, gave one man liver disease so severe he needed an immediate liver transplant and is now in kidney failure – before this he was totally healthy. Obviously this isn’t going to happen to everyone but the fact it happens at all is huge cause for concern when there is virtually no regulation on supplements and no legal obligation to make manufacturers prove the claims they make about their health effects or provide warnings of potential side effects. One of my good friends who has had severe M.E. for decades decided to try Spatone iron water for her proven low iron levels – it led to severe GERD which has continued ever since and has left her in tortuous daily pain. I, on the other hand, take 2 sachets a day and it’s been brilliantly helpful to me. None of us know how we’re going to react to supplements and we aren’t warned they may have serious side effects, may interfere with medication or be contra-indicated for a disease from which we may be suffering. Also, according to the research, if we are dieting or on restricted calories for whatever reason we may absorb more of the active ingredients of herbs and supplements and so be unwittingly taking higher than recommended doses.
I’m not anti-supplements and have benefitted hugely from taking iron and, in winter, Vitamin D but I am anti lack of evidence, regulation and monitoring. Companies selling supplements aren’t the slightest bit interested in hearing about issues with their products, but there is a way of reporting them via the Yellow Card Scheme which is a Government run website for feedback on adverse reactions to a range of products, including drugs, herbs and homeopathic remedies. We don’t do this enough and if the Government don’t know there’s a problem they won’t know to look into it.
The fact that simple supplements can in some cases, decrease rather than increase life span is shocking to me and just goes to prove that our bodies are mind-boglingly sophisticated entities that have kept us alive as a species for millennia without any intervention. For most people popping a herb or supplement won’t do anything much other than produce very expensive wee, but for some they can cause untold misery or even prove fatal. I personally don’t take anything unless my blood work shows I need to and then make sure I have regular tests to monitor any effect, which I think is doubly important when you have mast cell disease and your body may react in ways not usually seen.
