Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Monday that the majority of the city’s indoor spaces — including restaurants, gyms and entertainment centers — will require proof of vaccination for entry beginning in early 2022. This announcement coming as health leaders are warning about the rapid spread of the omicron variant.
Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, director of Boston University’s Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases Policy and Research, and Dr. Jeremy Faust, emergency physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, joined Jim Braude on Greater Boston to discuss.
Bhadelia said that measures like vaccine passports and mandates can go a long way in both protecting public health and continuing to keep society open. “Better late than never. I think we should have done this awhile ago,” she said.
“For the remaining people that haven’t taken the vaccines, measures like this will push them, give them one more reason potentially to take that shot,” she continued. “And in the grander scheme of things, with the omicron variant, that greater amount of protection means fewer people who are unvaccinated that might end up in the hospital.”
Faust weighed in on whether state and federal leaders should enact new mask mandates. “Yes, I think a mask mandate would help,” he said, noting that he was disappointed that White House indicated they wouldn’t have new regulations for vaccinated people. “That’s got to be on the table. There should be no non-starters. We need everything to be a possibility.”

If you want the medications best for insomnia, check out Zopiclone. We have high-quality medication for you.
Zopiclone for Mental Illness? - Most people are unfamiliar with an active ingredient called “Zoplicon." However, anyone who has prescribed medication with this active ingredient would like to find out more. The fact that the active ingredient Zopiclone 7.5 mg belongs to cyclopyrrolones or the GABA receptor agonists says nothing to a medical layperson. Zopiclone is considered a sedative that belongs to a new generation of sedatives - the so-called Z-drugs. They were named after the first letter of the appropriate drug group.
It is more interesting that Zopiclone in lower doses helps fall asleep ( sleeping pill ), but it can force sleep for several hours in higher doses. In addition, these drugs act anxiolytic (anxiolytic ), antispasmodic (anticonvulsant ), and relaxes the muscles. The indication for the use of Zopiclone is a short-term treatment of insomnia in adults - short-term, transient, chronic with accompanying problems with falling asleep, low sleep, early morning awakening.
The use of benzodiazepines and substances similar to them is indicated in severe disorders, which causes severe exhaustion in the patient and the inability to function normally.
The effect of Zopiclone 7.5 mg in the CNS is similar to that of gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA. The reason for this is simple: Zopiclone enhances the effects of GABA, which the organism can produce itself. GABA is one of the messenger substances (neurotransmitters) with either an inhibiting or activating effect in the CNS. This function is disturbed in the presence of sleep disorders.
The constant alternation between being awake and sleeping is no longer given in the usual manner due to an imbalance of different messenger substances. The administration of Zopiclone strengthens the effect of the inhibiting gamma-aminobutyric acid, the readiness for sleep is promoted.
This medicine with the advantages can have side effects that vary from person to person.
Most Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
Some serious side effects that might occur:
Stop taking Zopiclone and contact your doctor or go to the nearest hospital emergency department if any of the following symptoms occur:
These allergic reactions are rare but serious and may require medical attention.
Psychiatric and paradoxical reactions - Zopiclone can cause restlessness, increased excitability (agitation), irritability, aggression, delusions, outbursts of anger, nightmares, hallucinations, psychoses, inappropriate behavior, and other behavioral disorders. Continue treatment with Zopiclone off if any of these symptoms you are experiencing.
Depending on the amount of Zopiclone ingested, overdose symptoms are associated with CNS depression and range from drowsiness to coma. In mild cases, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, lethargy have been reported.
In more severe cases, ataxia, hypotension, hypotension methemoglobinemia, respiratory depression, coma have been reported.
Zopiclone Interactions With Food
Zopiclone7.5 mg may interact with grapefruit juice (grapefruit flavonoids slow down the metabolism of the active substance and consequently increase its concentration). Avoid grapefruit for 4 hours before and after taking Zopiclone.
Zopiclone Interactions With Alcohol
Alcohol increases the sedative and hypnotic effects of Zopiclone. Concomitant use of Zopiclone and alcohol is not recommended.
Effect Of Zopiclone On Driving
Zopiclone has a calming effect and reduces the ability to drive and use machines. There may be a risk of psychomotor disturbances (especially in combination with alcohol, drugs that depress the CNS and affect blood levels of Zopiclone).
You should not perform activities requiring mental alertness and concentration within 8-12 hours (literature discrepancy) after zopiclone administration.
Effect Of Zopiclone On Pregnancy
Zopiclone crosses the placenta. Use during pregnancy is not recommended.
The use of Zopiclone during the last trimester and labor may be associated with the development of hypothermia, hypotension, and respiratory depression of the newborn. It is called "floppy newborn syndrome."
There is a risk of neonatal withdrawal symptoms in mothers who have used Zopiclone for a long time in the last months of pregnancy.

DREAMGIRLS is a musical based on the show business aspirations and successes of renowed R&B acts: The Supremes, The Shirelles, James Brown and others. The musical is a classic,"rags to riches" tale of three young African American female singers who be_gin as innocents and ultimately triumph over jealousies, deceptions and a ruthless music industry.
The Harlem Repertory Theatre presents an intimate chamber version of DREAMGIRLS with a cast of 10 that will be performed in the heart of Harlem.
The twelve-time AUDELCO-nominated Harlem Repertory Theatre is continuing
its 2012-2013 season with an encore performance of its well reviewed production of Dreamgirls, performed as an intimate chamber version of the classic R&B musical drama. Ten talented actor/singers bring this dazzling rags to riches story to life in two settings: Act One will be played in the proscenium theatre at the 133rd Street Arts Center, while Act Two will be performed in the semi round with the actors per- forming onstage and around the audience. Two-time AUDELCO winner, Keith Lee Grant, directed and choreographed
the production. Mr. Grant shifts the focus of this iconic musical from flashy sets and costumes to the moment-to-moment emotional development of the characters: from aspiring novices in the 1960s R&B music industry to highly polished – albeit somewhat jaded – international stars.

The cold February air brushed past me as I walked through the eerie trees. Snow slowly fell and formed a blanket on the cold earth. Old leaves from the fall were losing their fight for control of the earth.
The wind stung my tear stained cheeks. I fix the scarf I wore so it would protect me from the cold. The wind still penetrated the protective barrier. I felt cold on the tip of my skin and inside my broken heart.
I walked with a secret destination in mind. I thought in the back of my mind of going…there. I kept it a secret to the rest of my mind so my reasoning and conscious would not hear what I was thinking.
I was almost there. I could feel it make my bones go cold. I have gotten lost in these woods so many times trying to get to my destination. Today, though, I was not lost. My legs knew exactly where to take me even though my mind said, “No.”
A broken and rusted fence blocked the rest of my path. Many times before He would lift me over the fence even though I pleaded to let me just walk through. Then, as I was over he would stand on the other side. I would stand on the other side wishing he could come by my side again. Now that I was alone, I walked through the crack in the fence without the wishing of being with Him.
The fence was the only thing blocking me from the house. A few rows of trees and I would be there.
Why had I trudged through falling snow and cold to come to an empty house? Surrounded by trees it stood, nearly crumbling before my eyes.
I trekked to the front door of the abandoned house. We found this one summer as we walked away from everything. We stepped in the house and spiders were crawling up the wall. A couch sat in the middle of room connected to the kitchen. The kitchen and the living room had no wall separating them. The fireplace was dusty and had smoke stains it was beautiful.
Now, as I open the creaking door I see the improved sanctuary we had made together. The walls weren’t as decrepit as they were when we stumbled upon it. Pictures hung on the walls and the fireplace was clean. A table was in front of the couch where we would put a laptop to watch movies.
My head was filled up with thoughts of one day we would have a place of our own. Somewhere out of this town and we would have to be together. This is where we would run away from our problems.
He and I would pretend it was five years from now. We would have a beautiful mansion. Little kids would be rushing around. After school we would come here and do homework and talk about future plans.
It is cold not. No fire in the fireplace. Pictures are off the walls. Termites have eaten away at the walls. All our dreams are now ruins. Any moment the house could crumble in and die. I welcomed that thought. I could die with the house.
Years have passed since he and I last saw each other. The last time I saw him he was cold and pale. His eyes were shut and I thought about never seeing his mesmerizing hazel eyes again. A scar was covered up by makeup. Most think the scar was from the fight but it wasn’t. It was a scar I accidently gave him as we fixed up our “house.”
Years of aging have destroyed this house. Years of living without him had destroyed me. I still live in our old hometown. I still don’t live in a mansion. The promises he had said to me died with him.
Forever he will be marked by a stone. The stone that reads his name and name only cannot show his greatness. Each promise buried with him. Thoughts of him still are here, in this house.
I walked over to the couch where he and I once sat and dreamed. I lay down and watched spiders crawl over it. At one time in my life I would yell and scream at the sight of them but today I go numb.
Cold air rushes to me and turns my skin and blood cold. I feel as if I am not alone anymore and I feel like I am being watched.
I close my eyes and let myself sleep. Forever my eyes will be closed. Forever my heart will be still. Forever I will be with him.

Lenny D’Gama, Goa’s pioneer for Boxing, an AIBA (International Boxing Association) International Technical Official has been nominated by Boxing Task Force- International Olympic Committee (IOC) – to officiate at two of the 4 Confederations Olympic Boxing Qualifiers- Africa ( Dakar, Senegal) and Europe (London, United Kingdom).
An International Technical Official since D’Gama has officiated at various international boxing championships as Referees & Judges Evaluator, including at the AIBA World Women’s Boxing Championship held in Russia in October 2019.
Currently in Dakar, Senegal for the 1st Olympic Qualifier (Africa) that commenced on February 20 that will be on till February 29, 2020, there are 33 stakes for the prestigious Olympics up for grabs that will be held between July and August 2020.
Lenny D’Gama, the chairman- Rules and Technical Commission, Boxing Federation of India is ecstatic and under stress at the same time. “I feel honoured and humbled to be nominated for these prestigious, crucial and critical competitions that lead up to Tokyo 2020,” D’Gama says, before saying that he didn’t think he would make it to the World Championships last year, and not in his wildest dreams did he think he would make the cut, for two Olympic qualifiers.
Since Boxing at Tokyo 2020 is being organised by the Boxing Task Force set up by the International Olympic Committee, D’Gama who is the vice president of Goa Boxing Association informs that there are several new incorporations at Senegal, which will be used here on for Boxing competitions, at least till the Olympics. “There is a new scoring and evaluation process developed by Price Waterhouse Cooper that ensuring accurate results and neutrality in the competition. Besides, strict vigilance, and daily evaluations and analysis, there is high levels of discipline being enforced among officials where no use of telephones at the venue, gifting or exchange of souvenirs are permitted,” informs D’Gama about the technical details that also including warnings, suspensions for officials found breaching the ‘Code of Conduct’ or not upto standard.
D’Gama who believes that such rules and processes were needed in the sport as “the deserving/right boxer must win,” and is hopeful that most of the rules and regulations should be incorporated in India, at all level to ensure fair results and equal opportunity to all boxers.
And no sooner his work for the day ends and is allowed to use his phone, members in the association in Goa, wake up to messages early morning due to the time difference, when all his concentration shifts, to the upcoming All Goa State Boxing Championship, that will be held at Boxing Hall, Peddem, from March 3 to March 7, 2020- delegating work, checking progress and coordinating all that he can.
While his hands are full with international assignments, uplifting Boxing in the state is still one of his wildest dreams.“We wanted an exclusive Boxing Hall with proper amenities to be set up, and after years of discussion with Sports Authority of Goa (SAG) we got it. I have been trying hard to set up an academy for top Goan boxers which is yet to be materialized,” he says with hope.
While he is happy that after 30 years of Goa Boxing Association being founded there are several achievements to be proud of, he still thinks that ‘work in progress’ means getting a lot more accomplished.
“While I am positive that there will be a Goa Boxing League that will highlight our Goan boxers, I want to get a ‘working committee’ to carry forward the work, spread boxing across the villages, have dedicated coaches and staff work for the association who understand well what it takes to create champion and most importantly create awareness and have the private sector support local boxing that can create many more boxing icons with finance, support and guidance,” he says.
Spending most of his time at a Boxing venue outside Goa and India, or at training centres in Porvorim or Mapusa, D’Gama who arrives in Goa on March 3, will play a pivotal role at the All Goa State Boxing Championship, before heading to London, for the European Boxing Qualifier that will have over 450 boxers from across Europe fighting it out for 77 Olympic berths from March 14 to March 24, 2020.

San Francisco City & County Employees' Retirement System is terminating five mutual funds - four from Janus and one from J.P. Morgan Fleming - as options in its $926 million 457 plan, largely for underperformance, said Clare Murphy, executive director. Market-timing issues involving Janus were a secondary concern, she said.
The plan is dropping the Janus Aspen Worldwide, Twenty, Aspen Balanced and Aspen Series Flexible Income funds; and the ING J.P. Morgan Fleming International stock fund. After Feb. 3, assets from the Janus Aspen Worldwide fund and the ING J.P. Morgan Fleming portfolio will be mapped into the ING International Value equity portfolio; assets from the Janus Twenty fund to the ING T. Rowe Price Growth Equity fund; Janus Aspen Balanced fund assets to the ING VP Balanced fund; and Janus Aspen Series Flexible Income assets to the ING VP Bond fund. All the funds receiving assets from the terminated funds are existing options.
Blair Johnson, Janus' director of public relations, said, "The vast majority of our shareholders and clients are taking a wait-and-see approach," noting performance has been very encouraging year-to-date. He said Janus hopes to earn back the fund's business in the future. Carolyn Jones, a spokeswoman for J.P. Morgan Fleming, declined to comment.

The Frostarc audiobook is now available for purchase.
It was a pleasure working with Kitchen on this project. I was searching for producers via auditions through the Audiobook Creation Exchange, and it wasn’t long before my attention was grabbed by Kithcen’s stellar performance. Shoot him a message if you find yourself in need of a filmmaker, audio work, or anything other project where you can take advantage of his skill set.
And thus completes the Frostarc team and project. What more can be done? Together we have produced a print edition, ebook edition, and an audiobook. Thank you to Jill and my friends who were there to help inspire me and edit and edit and edit the novel. Thank you to Eran Fowler for the amazing artwork, and for bringing so much attention an recognition to the novel. Thank you to Lucas Kitchen for the superb audio performance and production. And thank you to everyone thus far who has read it, and again to those of you who have reviewed it.
I’m glad that together we have crafted a self-published, independent novel at the level of professionalism and polish we have attained. This is something I am very proud of, and it could not have come to what it has without all of you.
And so on to the next!

Stop in our new home -> Our 17th Anniversary June 5th 2010 – Sunriver
Today we spent the day doing nothing, probably a first since we sold the house. Tonight we have baked potatoes and BBQ Rib Eye. No sun here yet, but the weather is very pleasant. River is full and swift. The park is very nice, and extremely large. We walked for a couple hours, but never saw it all. Athena and the girls had Sundaes at the ice cream social, Ice cream seemed to be quite good. (See Sarah in the pictures and notes area.) We are 3 hours 20 minutes from Salem. Grocery shopping is a trip! Prices at “Food 4 Less” equivalent to Fred Myers in Salem. We will try Cosco next time and see if that is any better. Shopping for 2 meals at “Food 4 Less” $55.00
Had supper at Shari’s in Bend, kids had chicken strips, and fruit. Athena had a really good chicken fajita omlette, I had a butchered swiss mushroom burger. Dinner was $30.00. We left just in time; the restaurant filled with about 25 gang looking people; and the servers were arguing over who’s turn it was to serve them.
To say the least, it has been a nice day today for all of us so far. Photos Below:

Music is what connects the world and there are several who try to do their bit for it. One such rising musical success is c6merxn, from Boston, Massachusetts. C6merxn is primarily a recording artist and secondarily a music producer with several of his hits being his own composition. C6merxn has debuted quite recently with a mixtape and now hopes to make a comeback with his first studio album set to release by the end of the year.
Similar to most others who are musically gifted, C6merxn knew he was headed for a career in music at quite a young age. It was in elementary school that c6merxn had his first tryst with the recorder in the compulsory music class. He immediately fell in love and decided to enrol in the school’s chorus program. As the years built on and his experience which different beats and rhythms grew, c6merxn slowly became more and more assured that he would choose music as his profession. Although it took some time for c6merxn to realise the way to achieving his dreams, he made full use of it by picking up the piano and mastering it. All these skills came in handy when c6merxn had saved enough money to buy FL Studio, a popular music editing and composing software used by industry professionals. This was the first step to officially producing music and gave c6merxn the freedom to make the ideas in his mind come alive.
Even though it has been only a very short time since c6merxn made his debut in the music industry, he has already hit global success and his song DoorDash has gone viral with more than half a million streams on SoundCloud and almost a 100k on Spotify. This is no easy feat for any artist let alone one who is still navigating their way through this extremely competitive and cutthroat industry.
C6merxn promises to keep on putting all this positive attention towards creating good content and coming up with better and more innovative songs every time. He is forever grateful to all those who have supported him during his journey including his friends, family and most importantly his fans. “I would not have been able to reach where I am without all of your love and encouragement. It’s not just a passion for music which drives me every day but a passion to keep my supporters entertained which makes me want to put in my all.”, he adds.
C6merxn has a very promising career path carved out for himself. Make sure you stay connected to this talented and dedicated artist and support his upcoming album. Till then get familiarised with some more of c6merxn’s work with his recently released Halloween special tape.

Welcome to Williamsburg, Brooklyn—a vibrant and eclectic neighborhood that has become synonymous with art, culture, and cutting-edge creativity. It’s where I call home (though I live on the edge in East Williamsburg) and it’s always been my favorite part of not just Brooklyn, but of all of New York City.
Situated along the East River and anchored by the iconic Williamsburg Bridge, this vibrant enclave is a must-visit for travelers seeking a taste of Brooklyn’s unique charm. Join me on a journey through Williamsburg as we uncover its creative spirit, eclectic shops, and the captivating presence of the Williamsburg Bridge.
How to Spend a Day in Williamsburg Like a Brooklyn Hipster
In the Morning: Williamsburg Bridge Views and Brunch Delights
Start your day by embracing the breathtaking views of the Williamsburg Bridge. Head to Domino Park, a beautiful waterfront park that offers unobstructed vistas of the bridge, Manhattan’s skyline, and the bustling East River. Take a leisurely stroll along the promenade, capturing Instagram-worthy shots of the bridge’s architectural marvel.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, indulge in a delectable brunch experience at one of Williamsburg’s trendy restaraunts. Café Mogador is a local favorite of mine, serving up Mediterranean-inspired dishes in a vibrant setting.
Enjoy their signature Moroccan Eggs or their famous brunch mezze platter while sipping on a refreshing mimosa or specialty coffee. It’s right on Wythe Avenue which is also one of my favorite streets just to wander down.
In the Mid-Morning: Artistic Exploration and Vintage Treasures
After brunch, immerse yourself in Williamsburg’s artistic scene. Venture into the heart of Williamsburg’s vintage and independent boutique scene. Bedford Avenue is home to a plethora of carefully curated shops, housing everything from retro clothing and vinyl records to handmade jewelry and quirky collectibles.
Take your time to browse through beloved shops like Monk Vintage (cute thrift shop where I often find good tops) or Artists & Fleas (best to visit on weekends, though), where you can uncover hidden gems and support local artisans.
In the Afternoon: Culinary Delights and Riverside Retreats
As the day progresses, satisfy your taste buds with the neighborhood’s diverse culinary offerings. Williamsburg is a food lover’s paradise, boasting an array of international cuisines and innovative dining concepts. For a mouthwatering slice of pizza, head to Roberta’s Williamsburg, a renowned pizzeria that has become a local institution.
Also riverside is Sea Wolf Williamsburg—a delicious seafood restaurant I’ve celebrated more than a handful of special occasions at. It’s less crowded during lunch so can make for a nice upscale afternoon meal.
After lunch, embark on a leisurely bike ride or stroll along the East River waterfront. The revitalized Williamsburg waterfront offers scenic running paths (popular for those out on a run or exercising in Williamsburg), picturesque parks, and stunning views of Manhattan.
Find a peaceful spot to relax, read a book, or simply soak in the tranquil ambiance before continuing your exploration.
In the Evening: Music, Mixology, and Rooftop Vibes
As the sun sets, Williamsburg comes alive with its vibrant nightlife. Indulge in the neighborhood’s rich music scene by catching a live performance at one of its iconic venues like Music Hall of Williamsburg or Brooklyn Steel further out in East Williamsburg. Whether you’re into indie rock, jazz, or electronic beats, you’ll find a venue that suits your musical preferences.
To cap off your day, head to one of Williamsburg’s rooftop bars. The William Vale (my personal favorite Brooklyn rooftop) boasts stunning panoramic views of the city skyline, complete with craft cocktails and a sophisticated ambiance. Sip on a handcrafted drink, mingle with locals and fellow travelers, and raise a glass to a memorable day in Williamsburg.
The Moxy Williamsburg hotel also just opened a new rooftop patio bar, LilliStar, with food, drinks and views of the Williamsburg Bridge
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, offers a captivating blend of creativity, culture, and history, anchored by the iconic Williamsburg Bridge. From stunning bridge views and artistic exploration to culinary delights and vibrant nightlife, this dynamic neighborhood has something for everyone.
Embrace the spirit of Williamsburg and immerse yourself in its vibrant energy—it’s an experience you won’t soon forget and even if it’s less hipster than it used to be, it’s still my favorite part of NYC.

Improve Patient Access to Pulmonary Rehabilitation and to Respiratory Therapists
The American Association for Respiratory Care is a strong advocate for respiratory therapists, the respiratory care profession, and patients who suffer from chronic respiratory disease.
For our 2022 advocacy campaign, the AARC supports legislation that improves patient access to pulmonary rehabilitation services and to respiratory therapists who are experts in providing education and exercise that are essential components of the program. In addition to individuals diagnosed with moderate, severe, and very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the Medicare program has extended coverage of pulmonary rehabilitation services to include individuals who have had confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and experience persistent symptoms that include respiratory dysfunction for a least 4 weeks. Now, more than ever, it is important that we improve access and utilization of these vital programs.
Our 2022 advocacy campaign is comprised of two action requests. Additional information is provided in our Frequently Asked Questions:
Improving Access to Quality Cardiac Rehabilitation — (H.R. 1956 and S. 1986)
Making Permanent Temporary Waivers that Allow Virtual PR Services
In response to the COVID-19 PHE, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) deployed a combination of temporary, emergency waivers and flexibilities to allow the virtual delivery of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation services usually provided in the hospital outpatient setting to Medicare beneficiaries in their homes under the Hospital Without Walls program. Also, as part of the telehealth waivers that included physician practices, CMS permitted respiratory therapists to furnish pulmonary rehab and other telehealth services in which the eligible practitioner bills Medicare. These flexibilities expire at the conclusion of the PHE.
You can help support our efforts by going to our Take Action Now link below and completing a short message that will be sent directly to your Representatives and Senators. It only takes a few minutes, so don’t delay. Your participation and support for AARC activities can make a difference!

You have some capacities. Capacities are potentials... Abilities are actualities.
You can activate capacities, you can use them and turn them into epigenetic shifts: abilities, that can be inherited...
The more abilities you have the more power you have.
Power is what it takes to say A and make it happen. Not over some people, but over yourself, over matter.
The way you live, the number of challenges you set for yourself will tell you how much of the power you have you actually use...
Recently I discovered about myself that I want someone to hold my hand to do the things I am not sure how to do. Like in first grade the teacher drew the letters using my hand. But I realized that unless I do it myself, I never learn.
I also realized that I actually know how to do the things I wanted to be helped to do, I just didn't have the self-starter mentality... Once I realized this, I started to do the things I was complaining that I could not do... Very telling.
Guess how much of the power you have that you actually use?
Humans didn't become the peak of evolution because they are weaklings. Humans have a brain uniquely qualified for thinking, reasoning, choosing. For 95% of humanity not to know, or not want to use their brain for thinking, reasoning, choosing, they had to be made weaklings. Humans are meant to be highly adaptable supported by their disproportionately large brain. Individually. That big brain makes you human, that is your strongest point, and that is also what makes you vulnerable.
Each and every human alive today, regardless of their ethnicity, whether they can accept the DNA capacity activations or not, is able to be with a lot of adversity, that you, my dear reader, are not finding yourself capable of.
Everything seems to threaten your ordered little world, and it feels that if you can't fix that threat, it will crack your world and you with it.
When I ask a student about this, either they say they are weak, or they say that they are strong, but their behavior belies a fundamental belief that they are weak, that they think they cannot deal with it.
With regards to your health, what you eat is important. We all know that.
But when you eat, what environment you eat in, and how you eat what you eat seems to be as important, or maybe even more important than what you eat.
I just bought and watched two videos on "how to eat according to your type" or the style of eating that seems to be crucial for a sense of well-being, especially for brain health. I have known my own "style" of eating for a while, and it has made a big difference. Most people in the world eat stews, or meats with side dishes, or salads with a lot of ingredients, but a good 20% of the world, with the most ancient style DNA needs to eat like people ate when they didn't have dishes: one thing at a time.

Meet our fantastic staff! Whether it is providing top-notch instruction, crafting an enjoyable event, or capturing gorgeous photography, we are passionately committed to making the Underground Dance Community as great of an experience as it can possibly be!
Ashley began dancing when she attended a lindy hop kick-off dance at grad school in 2012. She was immediately in love and attended weekly lindy lessons and dances for a few years, eventually dabbling in blues, salsa, west coast swing, and more.
After about one year of dancing locally, she started to travel and has since been all over the Midwest and beyond for dance weekends and workshops. While she now primarily dances locally due to her adoption of an adorable puppy, she can still be found out and about dancing in the area. She became a DJ and instructor for the Underground Dance Community just over two years ago and enjoys helping others grow as dancers.
Brianna is a lifelong dancer, experienced competitor, and versatile educator. Starting with ballet and tap at a young age, she has studied with many renowned instructors and now has most of the major dance forms in her repertoire. With nearly 10 years experience both competing and teaching in dance, she has special expertise and interest in Lindy Hop and youth ballroom. She holds a B.A. in Dance and Exercise Science from Western Michigan University and hopes to continue her studies of the arts.
Casey hates writing in the 3rd person. I discovered the world of Swing dancing through a series of odd tangents throughout my life, which lead me to my first swing out at the Underground Dance Community in January 2015. I’m based out of Kalamazoo, MI (Yes, the one from that Glenn Miller song) where I also meet with local college swing scenes as well as help run the Kalamazoo Swing Society.
Everywhere I go I try to bring my joy of dance onto the floor, sometimes baffling other dancers with the seemingly unlimited pool of energy I draw upon throughout the night; whether it is swinging out until 5AM at a late night dance, or waking up at 8AM for a 3 hour intensive class, I come eager to learn and have fun.
I love a plethora of both swing and blues dance styles. I like to find inspiration in dance by looking towards the original dancers of different styles, as well as how they developed their styles and why they developed in those ways, and I use this to better understand where American Styles of Dance belong in our contemporary world. Sharing things I am passionate about, such as glassblowing, long boarding, Taco Bell, and now swing dancing which I started teaching November of 2015, with such an awesome community, makes me excited to see where dance will take my students and me.
David started moving to the music in middle school playing Dance Dance Revolution in the arcades outside Detroit. It wasn’t until after college when he discovered swing dance at the East Coast Swing scene in Grand Rapids at the beginning of 2014. After being introduced to Lindy Hop later that year David was hooked on the fun and energy the dance offers.
David dances nearly every day during the week and tries to travel as often as possible. Along with learning new dances, including West Coast Swing, David is hoping to learn and help others learn how to move to the music in any form.
Emory began dancing his freshman year of college and has been going ever since. Changing cities, changing jobs, changing scenes but always dancing. He took a foray into blues for a couple of years with solid renown in competition and instruction but eventually fell back to his first love of Lindy Hop. With its high energy and jazzy sound, there is nothing he would rather be doing than dancing and teaching Lindy Hop!
Instructor/Organizational staff leader
Ike entered the world of dance through a very strange series of coincidences in October of 2013, and was immediately captivated by the art. He initially tried many different styles, but none of them infatuated him quite like Lindy Hop; the seemingly endless amount of fun it offered coupled with the room for creative freedom and individual expression quickly sold him on it.
Ike loves to share his passion for swing dance with others and can often be found doing so around Grand Rapids, his local scene, to help to further the growth of the Lindy Hop community there. When he’s not busy doing that, he’s most likely out of town attending a dance weekend somewhere as he also loves to travel and can frequently be found at various dance events around the Midwest. He enjoys and finds excitement in all the various styles of swing, which even includes, much to some of his more traditionally-vernacular minded peers’ dismay, WCS.
Ike is an instructor and scene organizer for the Underground Dance Community. His classes are as fun as they educational, and his ability to break down material to comprehendible concepts have earned him great reviews there.
Photography & Video Media management
Michael Began dance in August 2014 attending the G.R.O.S.S. Star Wars theme night and from there fell in love with dance. After a while he noticed that people bring cameras to swing and take pictures a lot, so he brought his. After a while he gained confidence with his shots, composing and what not and just started making quality photos. One instructor of his (Rob Evans) would always say “push the buttons, make the pretties” and so he did.
After about a year of dance Michael joined the Underground Dance Community and started learning Lindy Hop. At first he was only going to UDC to dance but brought his camera anyway. Now he does most of the photos and video you see coming out of the UDC.
Along with providing weekly photograpy, in 2015 he started his art prize project (for Art Prize 7) Dust Dancing, which was a creative idea that resulted in some truly unique and beautiful shots. Mike’s work can be viewed on his website here: www.MikeWillArt.com
Sammi, like many other of the Underground Dance Community members, started her foray into the wide world of dance through the Grand Rapids Original Swing Society. While she was there one Tuesday evening, she saw a couple dancing Lindy Hop, and instantly decided that she wanted to do that too – she quickly picked it up, and eventually began teaching swing around Grand Rapids at places like local college clubs, the Grand Rapids Original Swing Society, and finally the Underground Dance Community.
Sammi brings a fun and unique perspective to her classes, offering a fresh take on concepts traditional concepts breached in all swing classes. Her calm and relaxed demeanor help her students focus in on the topic at hand and sets them up for rapid and long-term improvement.
When she’s not out dancing, Sammi can be found crushing any fool that dares challenge her at Super Smash Brothers, playing through an entry in her favorite series of video games, The Legend of Zelda, or working graphic design projects.
Sarah’s dancing career all started at the ripe age of 3 when she discovered that she hated tutus and quit any form of dancing out of spite. As she grew up, she vowed she would never dance again due to her amazing lack of hand-eye coordination. But when some of her friends started to learn swing in her sophomore year of high school, she was too intrigued and decided to go with them to the swing scene in downtown Grand Rapids. From that first night she was hooked. After doing East Coast Swing on and off for four years, Sarah was introduced to the UDC in May of 2015 and fell head-over-heels in love with Lindy.
Since then, she has primarily focused on Lindy Hop and Charleston, while also dabbling in West Coast Swing. In addition to the social aspect, she loves the competitive side of Lindy. Whenever possible, Sarah travels the Midwest and beyond for dance.
Sarah’s pedagogy places an emphasis in guiding her students in the right direction while also giving them space to experiment with the dance. She believes in individuality on the dance floor but also holds form in high regard. She is best known for her height (or lack thereof) and ability to crack jokes so awful even dads groan at them.
Scott began dancing in front of the tv, moved by the raucous tunes from “The Music Man”. He didn’t fall in love with the craft until high school when he attended an audition clinic focused on dancing. From there he found swing dancing and lindy hop. Now he dances as much as he can traveling to events and spreading the good work of all dancers before him.
Angel Jenio is a seasoned dancer based out of Lansing, MI. She frequents The Underground Dance Community and other dance scenes to teach and enjoy a great night of dancing. With proficiency in many different styles of movement, ranging from swing to belly dancing, Angel has a vast amount of experience as a dancer and a teacher, making her classes beneficial for all who participate. She approaches her students with a down-to-earth personality and gives concise and accurate individual critiques, allowing dancers to quickly identify and proceed with whatever dance goals they’re trying to work on.
Angel graduated from MSU and is now the communications director for a state agricultural organization. She is a cat aficionado, and can often be found showing off videos featuring fine felines from her vast pet media collection. One of her favorite films is Demolition Man (1993), which stars Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes.

It’s Going to be a Cold and Rainy Spring
Order activity for semiconductor equipment fell by another point, hitting a new record low for the year. All segments moved lower as sentiment continued to weaken. ASML delivered another strong quarter and its guidance beat expectations. LAM Research revenues for the March quarter beat expectations but its guidance came in below consensus as the company grapples with a brutal memory downcycle. On the chipmaking front, TSMC trimmed its 2023 outlook, pointing to weaker than expected demand coupled with a sizable inventory overhang. Despite the weaker view, TSMC left its 2023 capex unchanged at $32B-$36B indicating that it sees this level of investment necessary to support future customer requirements.

Are you considering a major renovation or expansion of your home? Before you break out the toolbox, it’s important to understand what is permitted for a capital home improvement. This article will explore the regulations and codes that dictate what can and cannot be done for home improvement projects, highlighting the significance of seeking the necessary approvals.
Capital home improvement projects involve significant investments of time, money, and resources. Whether you’re planning on building an addition, remodeling a kitchen, or making structural changes, it’s crucial to be aware of the legal requirements and restrictions that govern these activities. Failure to obtain the proper permits and approvals can result in costly consequences, including fines and legal issues.
Understanding what is permitted for a capital home improvement is not only essential for staying within the boundaries of the law but also for ensuring the safety and integrity of your property. From complying with building codes to addressing environmental impact concerns, this article will provide valuable insight into navigating the complex landscape of home improvement regulations.
Understanding Building Codes
Importance of Building Codes
Building codes are a set of regulations that dictate the standards for construction, including home improvement projects. These codes are put in place to ensure the safety, health, and welfare of the public. Understanding and adhering to building codes is crucial for any capital home improvement project to avoid penalties and ensure that the work meets quality standards.
Types of Building Codes
There are different types of building codes that govern various aspects of home improvement projects.

Each type of code specifies the requirements and limitations for specific areas of home improvement, such as load-bearing walls, electrical wiring, plumbing installations, and energy-efficient materials.
Consulting With Professionals
Given the complexity and specificity of building codes, it is advisable to consult with professionals such as architects, engineers, electricians, plumbers, and contractors when planning a capital home improvement project. These professionals have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that the project complies with all relevant building codes and regulations. Additionally can provide guidance on obtaining permits and approvals from local authorities.
By understanding and adhering to building codes related to capital home improvements homeowners can ensure a successful project that is compliant with all legal requirements. Ensuring compliance will not only prevent costly fines but also guarantee the safety and longevity of the improvements made to their home.
When it comes to making structural changes to a home as part of a capital home improvement project, there are specific guidelines and regulations that must be followed. Understanding what types of structural changes are permitted is crucial in ensuring the safety and stability of the property. Whether it’s adding an extension, altering the layout, or working on load-bearing walls, homeowners need to be aware of the rules and restrictions in place.
Types of Structural Changes
Structural changes for home improvements can include a wide range of alterations such as adding new rooms, expanding existing ones, creating open-plan layouts, or even removing walls to create a more spacious feel. However, it’s important to note that not all structural changes are permitted without proper approval. Understanding which types of changes require permission is essential before undertaking any major renovation work.
Additions and Load-Bearing Walls
One of the most common structural changes in home improvement projects is adding new additions or extensions to the property. Whether it’s a new room, garage, or outdoor living space, any alterations that involve changes to the overall structure of the building typically require permits and adherence to building codes.
Similarly, working with load-bearing walls – those that support the weight of the structure – requires careful planning and compliance with regulations to ensure the safety and integrity of the home.
When it comes to what types of structural changes are permitted for a capital home improvement project, homeowners should always consult with a professional contractor or engineer who can guide them through the process. It’s important to understand that non-compliance with regulations regarding structural changes can lead to serious consequences including fines, legal issues, and ultimately compromising the safety of the property.
Therefore, knowing what is permitted for structural changes is crucial in ensuring a successful and compliant home improvement project.
Electrical and Plumbing
When considering a capital home improvement project, it is crucial to understand the rules and regulations surrounding electrical and plumbing work. This ensures the safety and compliance of your project, as well as avoiding potential legal issues in the future. Here’s a closer look at what is permitted for electrical and plumbing work in home improvement projects:
- Building Codes: Familiarize yourself with local building codes and regulations regarding electrical and plumbing work. These codes dictate the requirements for wiring, outlets, fixtures, and plumbing installations.
- Hiring Licensed Professionals: In many jurisdictions, certain electrical and plumbing work must be performed by licensed professionals. It’s important to verify credentials and permits before hiring contractors for these tasks.
- Permitted Work: Understand what specific types of electrical and plumbing work are permitted for capital home improvements. This may include installing new lighting fixtures, rewiring a room, upgrading plumbing fixtures, or adding new bathroom facilities.
Adhering to rules and regulations for electrical and plumbing work not only ensures the safety of your home but also prevents potential complications during inspections or when selling your property in the future. By following proper procedures and obtaining necessary permits for these aspects of your project, you can avoid costly fines or penalties.
In addition to following building codes and regulations for electrical and plumbing work, it’s essential to consider environmental impact. Using energy-efficient lighting fixtures, low-flow plumbing fixtures, water-saving technologies can contribute to an environmentally friendly home improvement project that complies with sustainability standards. This approach not only benefits the environment but may also result in long-term cost savings on energy bills.
Permits and Approvals
When embarking on a capital home improvement project, it is crucial to understand the process of obtaining permits and approvals. Whether you are planning a structural change, electrical or plumbing work, or any other major renovation, it’s essential to ensure that you are complying with all local regulations. This not only ensures the safety and quality of your project but also protects you from potential legal issues and fines down the line.
The first step in obtaining permits and approvals for a capital home improvement is to research the specific requirements in your local area. Building codes and regulations can vary widely from one jurisdiction to another, so it’s important to familiarize yourself with the rules that apply to your project. This may involve visiting your local building department or municipality office, or checking their website for information.
Next, you will need to prepare the necessary paperwork for your permit application. This typically includes detailed plans and specifications of the proposed improvements, as well as any other documentation required by your local building department. Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by city officials who will ensure that it complies with all relevant regulations. If everything is in order, you will be issued a permit allowing you to proceed with your capital home improvement project.
Finally, before and during the construction process, inspections may be required at various stages of the project to ensure that everything is being done according to code. These inspections are typically carried out by qualified inspectors employed by the city or county, who will check that the work meets safety standards and adheres to approved plans.

Historic or Conservation Areas
When it comes to making capital home improvements in historic or conservation areas, there are additional considerations and restrictions that homeowners need to be aware of. These areas have special regulations in place to preserve the historical or environmental significance of the neighborhood, and it’s important to understand what is permitted before starting any major home improvement project.
To ensure that your capital home improvement project complies with the regulations in historic or conservation areas, here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Research local ordinances and guidelines: Before starting any project, research the specific ordinances and guidelines for historic or conservation areas in your locality. This may include restrictions on the types of materials that can be used, architectural styles, and even specific design elements.
- Obtain necessary approvals: In addition to obtaining regular building permits, homeowners in historic or conservation areas may need to seek additional approvals from local historic preservation commissions or conservation boards. These entities will review proposed projects to ensure they align with the area’s unique character and historic significance.
- Work with experienced professionals: When planning a capital home improvement in a historic area, it’s crucial to work with architects, contractors, and designers who have experience working within these special regulatory frameworks. They will understand what is permitted and can help navigate the approval process.
By carefully adhering to these additional considerations and restrictions for capital home improvements in historic or conservation areas, homeowners can ensure that their projects not only comply with regulations but also contribute to preserving the unique character of these special neighborhoods.
When planning for a capital home improvement project, it is essential to consider the environmental impact of the proposed changes. Home improvements can have significant effects on the environment, from energy consumption to waste generation. As such, it is crucial to take steps to ensure that the project is environmentally friendly and complies with sustainability standards.
One way to make capital home improvements more environmentally friendly is by incorporating energy-efficient features into the design. This can include using eco-friendly building materials, installing energy-efficient appliances, and incorporating renewable energy sources such as solar panels. By reducing energy consumption and reliance on non-renewable resources, homeowners can minimize their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
In addition to energy efficiency, it is important for capital home improvement projects to prioritize sustainable waste management practices. This includes minimizing construction waste by reusing or recycling materials whenever possible, as well as properly disposing of any waste generated during the project. By reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills, homeowners can lessen their environmental impact and promote a cleaner, healthier environment.

Consequences of Non-Compliance
In conclusion, understanding what is permitted for a capital home improvement is crucial for homeowners and contractors alike. The regulations and building codes that dictate what can and cannot be done for home improvement projects are in place to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the property. Ignoring these rules can lead to serious consequences, including fines, legal issues, and even having to undo the work that was not in compliance.
Structural changes, electrical and plumbing work, permits and approvals, historic or conservation area considerations, and environmental impact all play a significant role in determining what is permitted for a capital home improvement project. Homeowners must be aware of these factors before embarking on any major renovations to their property.
Ultimately, being mindful of the rules and regulations for capital home improvements not only keeps homeowners out of legal trouble but also ensures that the finished project meets safety standards and contributes positively to the community. Seeking professional guidance when necessary can prevent costly mistakes and ensure that the home improvement project is completed according to code.

1978 Harley Davidson Shovelhead in an '80 frame...
What drew me to this bike was the jockey shift- hand clutch combo. It's been my experience that most riders of big twins prefer jockey shift- foot clutch as opposed to hand clutch if they are lookin' for somethin' different.
As a side note, many of those who profess allegiance to the venerable Shovelhead engine tend to look down upon Ironhead Sportster riders. Ironically, not only did the Ironhead arrive before the Shovel, but the Shovelhead was born from the design of the Ironhead. Considered the last true Harley Davidson engine designed and built entirely by HD, the Shovelhead served its purpose in production for 18 years, before bein' replaced by the Evolution ("Evo") engine. Retired in 1984, the Shovelhead design continued on in the Ironhead sporty for another 2 years before it, too, was retired from production.
Showin' my age, I can remember back when the Shovelhead was considered a trashy and weak design by those who professed allegiance to the Panhead design. Nowadays, those who ride Shovelheads are considered to be "old school cool". = )
If you would like YOUR bobber or short chop to be featured, zap me at least three good pix (more is better), any specs, and the story about the build.

Non-attendees need attention - Determinants and interventions affecting participation in cervical cancer screening
Sammanfattning: Aim: Non-attendance is the foremost screening-related risk factor for cervical cancer. The overall aim of this thesis is to contribute to preventing cervical cancer by focusing attention on non-attendees, assessing interventions to increase participation in screening and identifying determinants for non-attendance. Methods: The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two interventions to increase participation were studied in a population-based, randomised trial in the context of a well-run screening program in western Sweden. Non-attendees were telephoned and offered an appointment to take a Pap smear or mailed an offer to take a high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) self-test, and the results were compared with a control group. Midwives’ experiences of contacting non-attendees were discussed in focus groups, and analysed by qualitative content analysis. A cross-sectional study with data from population-based registers was carried out to study socioeconomic and demographic factors’ affect on screening participation. The results were analysed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: Participation during the follow-up period after the interventions was significantly higher in both the telephone arm (18.0%) and the HPV self-test arm (24.5%) than in the control group (10.6%). There were significantly more detected abnormal smears and followed up abnormalities in the telephone arm (39 and 34, respectively) than in the control group (19 and 18, respectively). The midwives realised that there were a number of reasons for non-attendance that could be addressed by improving the screening program. These reasons were often related to logistics, such as scheduling flexibility and appointment booking. Women with high household income or high education or who were living with a partner, born in Sweden, working or not receiving welfare benefits were found to be more likely to attend cervical screening. The relative risk for attendance related to county of residence varied more than twofold. Conclusions: Long-term non-attendees had a fourfold increase in high-grade cytological atypia, compared with regularly screened women. Both telephone contact and offering a HPV self-test, increased participation among women who had abstained from cervical cancer screening for a long time. The telephone intervention yielded a significant increase in detected and followed up atypical smears. These interventions are also practically feasible and do not seem to increase costs. Offering various screening options can be successful in increasing overall participation rates. Midwives’ awareness of women’s varying requirements for attending screening provides possibilities to improve access and prevent non-attendance in cervical cancer screening. Low socio-economic status, being born abroad and residing in some Swedish counties are independent factors associated with lower attendance in cervical cancer screening. This indicates there is major potential for improvement of cervical cancer screening routines in Sweden in order to increase participation.

Twenty-five persons died during the onslaught typhoon “Ompong” (Mangkhut) in Northern Luzon, Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs Francis Tolentino said Sunday.
He said 13 others were reported missing in Cordillera.
Tolentino the fatalities include a family of four who refused to leave their home in Nueva Vizcaya, 20 persons from the Cordillera Administrative Region and one from Sta. Lucia, Ilocos Sur.
Most of the victims died in landslides, Tolentino said.

A parliamentary committee’s recommendation that doctors who object to assisted dying be required to at least refer patients to a willing colleague is not only disappointing, but has also led some physicians to consider leaving their practices, says the Canadian Medical Association.
The all-party committee, which released a set of recommendations Thursday aimed at helping the federal government draft new right-to-die legislation, said Ottawa should work with the provinces and territories to establish a process that respects a doctor’s freedom of conscience, while honouring the needs of patients who seek medical aid in dying.
“At a minimum, the objecting practitioner must provide an effective referral for the patient,” the committee said.
The CMA, which represents about 80,000 physicians across the country, had argued during hearings to the committee that doctors who oppose assisted dying on grounds of conscience should not be required to refer patients to a colleague willing to provide or administer drugs that would end their lives.
“We were very disappointed to see it not incorporated into the recommendations,” said Dr. Jeff Blackmer, the CMA’s vice-president of medical professionalism.
Referral has been a hot-button issue among members of the physicians group, with many arguing that doctors should not be coerced into providing the service, nor should they be required to ease the path to assisted death when it runs counter to their religious, moral or ethical beliefs.
“There are physicians who see making a referral as morally analogous to doing the act itself,” Blackmer said Friday from Ottawa.
“It means you know what will result from that referral. So for physicians who feel very strongly opposed to assisted dying, a number of them say: ‘If I refer to another physician and I know that they will themselves undertake the act of assisted dying, I’m automatically morally complicit because I facilitated the process.’”
Blackmer said the CMA had proposed an alternative: the creation of a central information hub to facilitate access to doctor-aided death, which conscientious objectors could point out to patients who desired to terminate their lives.
Objecting physicians would be required to provide detailed information to a patient and their family “so they could access that central service readily and in a very timely fashion, with no barriers whatsoever,” he said. Physicians would also have to transfer the patient’s records on request.
But Blackmer said the proposal was not even mentioned in the committee’s report, despite having the backing of Dying With Dignity Canada and the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, two of the groups that spearheaded the legal battle to overturn the long-standing ban on assisted death.
“I in no way mean to sound alarmist, but I have heard from some colleagues that are near retirement age that if this does become enshrined in legislation, they will retire,” he said of the proposed requirement to directly refer patients. “I know some colleagues who have said they’ll move to a U.S. state.
“I don’t think those numbers are going to be huge, but certainly there is a subset of physicians who feel strongly enough about this that they would absolutely make changes in their practice, based on what the legislation might look like.”
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled a year ago that individuals with unbearable suffering from a grievous and irremediable condition could seek a doctor’s help to die. Ottawa has until June 6 to pass new legislation reflecting the court’s landmark decision.
In the meantime, the CMA hopes to meet with federal justice and health department officials to go through the recommendations and look for common ground on contentious issues such as obligatory referrals.
“We’re more than convinced that common ground exists,” said Blackmer. “If the rationale for requiring mandatory referral is to ensure access, that’s very much a false dichotomy. There’s no need to require mandatory referral to ensure access.
“And you don’t need to look any further than other jurisdictions that have legalized assisted dying,” he said of such countries as Belgium and the Netherlands. “None of them has a requirement for referral and none of them has an issue with access.”
