Celebrate Epilepsy Awareness Month
November is Epilepsy Awareness Month. The aim of this campaign is to get people talking about epilepsy and raise awareness of a condition that affects thousands of people across the world.
The reality is that epilepsy can affect anyone, and learning about epilepsy and Epilepsy Awareness Month equips people with the knowledge and insight to support campaigns and assist those who display symptoms of seizures.
Epilepsy can impact anyone, and there are currently over 3.4 million people living with epilepsy in the US alone. Globally, epilepsy is considered the most common severe brain disorder by the World Health Organization.
History of Epilepsy Awareness Month
Epilepsy Awareness Month has been celebrated since 1969, and in 2003, the US Congress confirmed that November would be Epilepsy Awareness Month. The campaign has grown rapidly and is now celebrated across the world.
Initially launched to enable people to understand more about the condition and how it affects day to day life, more recently, the campaign has focused on preventing discrimination and eliminating myths and perceptions that permeate public thinking.
Over the years, more and more organizations have signed up to support Epilepsy Awareness Month, and this trend looks set to continue.
Epilepsy is a neurological condition, which is characterized by seizures, which cause involuntary movements, shaking, confusion and anxiety. Seizures vary, and coming across somebody who is having a seizure can be terrifying, especially for those with limited knowledge about epilepsy. This is why campaigns like Epilepsy Awareness Month are so important.

If You Were Born Today, November 23
You are interested in knowing the truth, and you spend much of your life, especially your later years, searching for it. A humanitarian, you have an unmistakably idealistic nature. Freedom of thought (and of movement!) are important to you. Your multiple interests stimulate you to branch out into many directions. You need to be careful not to scatter your energies. Impulsiveness is both a liability and strength, as courage is behind it, but when you set your sights on new horizons, you might be leaving behind something worthwhile! Famous people born today:
1804 Franklin Pierce, 14th US President (Democrat: 1853-57), born in Hillsborough, New Hampshire (d. 1869)
1837 Johannes van der Waals, Dutch physicist (Nobel 1910, Liquid and Gas States), born in Leiden, Netherlands (d. 1923)
1859 Billy the Kid [William H Bonney], American frontier outlaw, born in NYC, New York (d. 1881)
1887 Boris Karloff [William H. Pratt], English actor (The Mummy, Frankenstein), born in Camberwell, London (d. 1969)
1992 [Destiny] Miley Cyrus, American actress and singer (Hannah Montana, "The Climb"), born in Franklin, Tennessee

(Not So) Totally Useless Facts of The Day:
Did you know, that French poodles are NOT from France? Though they are popular and common throughout the history of France, this breed of dog did not originate among the French. The come from Germany. They were bred to be hunting dogs. It was believed that their water resistant coat made them the ideal duck hunting accomplice.
In 1943, Ignacio Anaya, a restaurant owner, found himself in a bad predicament. His cook was missing, food needed to be prepared, so he improvised and put together a bunch of different ingredients. Voila… he created nachos. His new dish became popular and caught on.
In the beautiful state of Hawaii, a flower worn by a lady behind her right ear indicates that she is single and available for dating. Married women may chose to wear a flower behind their left ear. The easiest way to remember which side is which is to think of a wedding ring. The band of matrimony goes on the left hand. Same rule applies for the flower.2.1889 -
Saloon patrons listening to the first jukebox in San Francisco.
The first jukebox was installed at the Palais Royale Saloon in San Francisco. It became an overnight sensation, and its popularity spreads around the world. That first jukebox was constructed by the Pacific Phonograph Company. Four stethoscope-like tubes were attached to an Edison Class M electric phonograph fitted inside an oak cabinet. The tubes operated individually, each being activated by the insertion of a coin, meaning that four different listeners could be pluggedin to the same song simultaneously. Towels were supplied to patrons so they could wipe off the end of the tube after each listening.

I had a swanky multi-tiered dehydrator years ago, but the kids left home and it took up so much space, so I have been doing it in the oven ever since. All you need is an oven and a cookie sheet, though parchment paper or a silicone liner from the dollar store helps.
The method is, chop up your veggie bits and put them on your lined sheet. Put them in your oven at its lowest setting before you go to bed (or work) and eight hours later, voila! Dried goodies to keep handy in an air-tight jar.
For example, I buy enough various mushrooms to fill a cup or two – Shitake is great – cut them up and dehydrate them. Then I make them into a powder that I sprinkle in all my savoury recipes. Just a little boosts and enhances the umami flavors of the dish with the natural glutamates from the ‘shrooms.
Bell pepper bits are so sweet and crunchy that I buy them in bulk on sale in the fall, and keep the results of my efforts in a jar, handy for soups and snacks.
The green parts of leeks are not to be cooked with, according to many recipes, so I slice them up and dehydrate them. But here’s my trick! I put them into a pepper grinder and season my dishes with them, too…a hint of onion, but a little more exotic, almost like using expensive truffle oil.
This is also a wonderful way to prepare berries on sale, apples that are starting to wither, turmeric root and ginger. I also like to blenderize fruit with a little juice and dried coconut, spread it out on my sheet and make fruit leather for a sweet nutritious snack. In the morning I always add dried berries to my cereal or porridge with a bit of chia seeds, hemp hearts and cinnamon, just to boost their nutritional value.
If you like healthy cooking, try it – you’ll like it!
