are doing so much more than just giving handouts to needy people. It’s really more about getting people the help they need to get back to their lives whatever that might take whether it’s getting them into rehab and sober living or helping them get on Medi-Cal or the CalFresh program for food

Krehbiel: “I originally came in contact with The Bridges 2 Hope through a friend of mine. I had been waiting to donate the clothing of my late boyfriend, Jared, to something special. I didn’t want to just drop it all off at Goodwill, you know? My friend Michelle had posted on Facebook that she was looking for men’s clothing donations and so I took a lot of his clothes over to her house and we talked about the organization and what they were doing. For some time now I had been wanting to find something really special to give my time to and this group really stood out to me because they assistance.”

It’s not every night that four of my favorite local bands are going to get together for one epic night of back to back performances but, when they do, every soul in the building will surely be rocked. What makes it even better is the fact that Yoves, Grins & Lies, The People of the Sun (Rage Against the Machine tribute band) and The Hellions are coming together to raise funds and awareness for a fantastic non-profit organization that is doing extremely important work with the unhoused community of individuals who stay in the area around Washington and Country Club in Palm Desert. Jeanette Krehbiel is the owner of Plan B Live Entertainment and Cocktails in Thousand Palms which is an unassuming little spot known for great drink specials, friendly staff, live music Thursdays, pool and Karaoke three nights per week. Anyone who frequents Plan B is likely to feel like part of the family and even more likely to know of the genuine kindness of its owner, Jeanette. That is precisely why I wasn’t the least bit surprised when she told me about her somewhat recent involvement with The Bridges 2 Hope.

Krehbiel continues: “For example, I had only been volunteering for about a week when I took two of the clients to Social Services to apply for the benefits they needed. They met me there at our weekly meeting spot on Washington and Country Club and we got in my truck to go do what was necessary for them to take that next step towards a better day to day life. Another time I met with some of them to pick up prescriptions. Occasionally I’ll pick some of them up in my truck so they can get the cans they collect to the recycling center. I’ve only been helping out for a few months now but they’ve been doing this for a couple of years now and it’s the practical kind of attitude that helps meet the everyday needs beyond just food and clothing that really made me really want to be a part of this organization. These are the kinds of steps that need to be taken to get people back on their feet.”

America’s albums--six certified gold and/ or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, “History” hitting four plus million in sales--displayed a fuller range of the trio’s talents than their singles. Enjoying massive success early in their career, America earned their stripes as musical soldiers on the battlefield amidst the excess, craziness and chaos of the 70’s. The trio won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1972 and began working with George Martin and Geoff Emerick in 1974. This successful team went on to record seven albums and several top ten hits, including “Tin Man,” “Sister Golden Hair” and “Lonely People.” By the mid-70s, inter-band conflicts combined with an exhaustive touring and recording schedule exacted its toll on the group. Shifts in sound and direction, changes in producers and managers, and a renewed dedication to the craft of songwriting helped rocket America to the upper reaches of the pop charts in 1982 with their smash single, “You Can Do Magic.” During this tumultuous time in their career, Beckley and Bunnell immersed themselves in their craft, infusing a newfound maturity into their rich body of work. Their growth as singers, songwriters and musicians has continued into the present day as illustrated by landmark releases such as 2000’s “Highway” 3-disc box set, 2002’s “Holiday Harmony,” an album comprised of seasonal classics and live showcases, 2007’s “Here & Now,” 2009’s “Live In Concert: Wildwood Springs,” 2011’s “Back Pages,” and 2015’s “Lost And Found,” and “America: Archives Vol. 1.” In 2020, the band released their ultimate 8-disc anniversary box set, “Half Century” (America Records), and streamed their concert special America--Live at the London Palladium for the very first time (it is commercially available as a DVD and CD). 2020 also saw the release of the book America, the Band, An Authorized Biography by journalist Jude Warne. She weaves original interviews with Beckley, Bunnell, and many others into a dynamic cultural history of America, the band, and America, the nation. Billy Bob Thornton wrote the foreword. From their formative years, America has been a band capable of transcending borders with its uplifting music and positive message. Embracing a rainbow of divergent cultures, America’s audiences continue to grow, comprising a loyal legion of first, second and third generation fans, all bearing testament to the group’s enduring appeal. “I think that the ingredients of the America sound are the basic fundamentals that translate internationally,” explains Beckley. “The Italians are huge fans of dance music, but they also love a ballad--they’re romantic at heart. It’s the same in the Far East. A lot of times in these countries, we see people singing along, and they don’t really know what the words mean. Music is truly the international language.” Tickets for America start at $39 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 2 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via phone (800) 827-2946 or online at FantasySpringsResort.com

ICONIC CLASSIC ROCK DUO AMERICA WILL PERFORM AT FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT CASINO ON FEB. 10, 2023

September 8 to September 14, 2022 www.coachellavalleyweekly.com 6

Grammy Award-winning soft rock duo America will perform at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino’s Special Events Center on Friday, Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $39 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept 2 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via phone (800) 827-2946 or online at www.FantasySpringsResort.comTheperennialclassic-rock favorite, is continuing to celebrate its 53rd anniversary with their powerful performances. Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate, the late Dan Peek) met in high school in London in the late 1960s and quickly harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song “A Horse With No Name.” America became a global household name and paved the way with an impressive string of hits following the success of their first No.1 single. Forty plus years later, these friends are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound. America’s journey has found them exploring a wide variety of musical terrain. Their best-known tunes, which also include “I Need You,” “Ventura Highway,” “Don’t Cross The River,” “Tin Man,” “Lonely People,” and “Sister Golden Hair” were cornerstones of 1970’s Top 40 and FM rock radio. Yet beyond their impressive catalog of hits, listeners would discover there was always much more to America than surface perceptions. The combination of Gerry Beckley’s melodic pop rock and Dewey Bunnell’s use of folk-jazz elements, slinky Latin-leaning rhythms and impressionistic lyric imagery contrasted well with Dan Peek’s more traditional country-rock leanings and highly personal lyrics.

In other words, lives are being changed. If you would like to be a part of the life changing work that Bridges 2 Hope is doing you can find them at www.facebook.com/ TheBridges2Hope or better yet, come on down to Plan B on Thursday, Sept 15th at 7:00 PM to see a bunch of fantastic bands and find out how you can help!

braving the blistering heat and humidity, most of them after a long day at their regular jobs are doing the necessary tasks to make the daily existence of our most vulnerable neighbors as healthy as they possibly can.

I also had the pleasure of witnessing the stellar team of medical professionals who showed up to do everything from giving out vaccinations provided by Coachella Valley Pharmacy to taking vitals and doing wound care. Doctors, nurses and pharmacy workers

Drawn in by the smell of a hot plate of pulled pork sandwiches with sides and desserts donated by Nothing Bunt Cakes, attendees are able to sift through carefully organized stacks of seasonally appropriate clothing and shoes they are welcomed to.

Dr. Brian Wexler, PHD Psychology/ Behavioral Health Eisenhower Hospital: “There are a handful of us who had the opportunity to meet Dr. Jim Withers who is the founder of Street Medicine International out of Pittsburg. It’s basically a group of doctors from all over who are inspired to provide homeless medicine outreach. We call it, “street rounds.” The motto has always been, “Go to the people.” We are doctors and nurses who came together and coordinated a way to bring healthcare to the people right on the streets. We have been up to this for about 8 years now. I believe this is our 324th Tuesday doing this work and it’s all volunteers. We also have residents who participate as part of their training curriculum in community medicine. Incredible doctors, nurses and students in training going out and supplying basic needs.”Ispent a couple of hours with not only the fantastic founders and volunteers working with Bridges 2 Hope, but also spoke to a few of the clients who have been benefiting from the work that they were doing. During this time I was impressed, over and over by the sheer practicality of the needs being met and the dedication of the volunteers who meet people exactly where they are with no strings attached. Some of the clients spoke of well-meaning folks who have shown up with promises of help who never came back. Yet rain or shine, (or 115 degree heat) these volunteers with hearts of gold show up like clockwork and keep their promises. Also spoke to a client who was proud to share with me that through the help and connections given to her by Bridges 2 Hope, she was heading to rehab within a few days.

When Jeanette speaks to the practicality of the help the clients of Bridges 2 Hope are receiving, she is speaking to part of what I think is particularly special about the nonprofit organization. I had the opportunity to go see for myself the crucial work being done by the volunteers on a weekly basis and I was fully impressed by the extent of the care and the depth of consideration given to every individual in attendance.

NANCY SINATRA & LEE HAZLEWOOD

Powered by frenetic harmonica, jittery bass, lonesome pedal steel, twangy guitar, a tambourine shake and a click-clack beat. This Hollywood hoedown feels all the more urgent, thanks to Nancy and Lee’s combative chemistry.

Cryptic lyrics allude to the somber saga of “Phaedra” a princess in Greek mythology, or as Lee more eloquently explained it, “She was a sad-assed broad, the saddest of all the Greek goddesses. So, bless her heart, she deserves some notoriety, so I’ll put her in a song.” “Sand” is anchored by zither-y percussive effects, vroom-y bass, a thumpy, tribal tattoo

BY ELENI P. AUSTIN

It must be tough to be an aspiring musician if your parent is a famous one. Does your pedigree help or hurt you? Sure, you might skip the ordeal of attempting to break into the music business, working a day job, trying to secure gigs at crap venues. Still, it’s a doubleedged sword. Name recognition gets you in the door, but you’re immediately held to a higher standard.Nancy Sinatra was born into musical royalty. The oldest child of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Barbato, she started life in New Jersey, but grew up in Los Angeles, with her younger siblings, Frank Jr. and Tina. She never assumed a music career was in the bag, despite her famous connection. She worked hard and studied music theory in school. She first began recording in her late teens, but her original producer, Tutti Camarata had enjoyed great success with Disney ingenue Annette Funicello, and he was intent on sending Nancy down that same saccharine path. So, Nancy made a pact with her dad. If he signed her to his boutique label, Reprise Records, she would cover her own expenses and pay for her recording sessions. She released some promising songs, but things really clicked when her label president, Jimmy Bowen suggested she work with producer Lee Hazlewood. Born in Mannford, Oklahoma, Barton Lee Hazlewood endured a peripatetic childhood bouncing from Oklahoma between Arkansas, Kansas and Louisiana. By his teen years he’d settled in Port Neches, Texas, where he soaked up the vibrant confluence of music styles, before enrolling at Southern Methodist University. Following a stint in the army during the Korean War, he abandoned his medical studies and became a disc jockey. Pretty quickly, he began writing and producing music. His first taste of success came when he partnered with Rock guitarist Duane Eddy. The pair collaborated on a string of instrumental hits like “Rebel Rouser” and “(Dance With The) Guitar Man. He relocated to the West Coast and not long after was auditioning songs for Nancy. Almost immediately, they hit big with Nancy’s iconic, signature song, “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’.” Released in early 1966, the song shot to #1 on the charts. For the next few years, she and Lee recorded several chart-toppers including “How Does That Grab You, Darlin,” “Sugar Town,” and the James Bond theme, “You Only Live Twice.” Several of Nancy’s early records were featured duets with Lee. They gathered them all together for the 1968 album, Nancy & Lee. Last year, the reissue label, Light In The Attic chose to honor the 55th anniversary of “These Boots…” by releasing a career-defining retrospective, Nancy Sinatra: Start Walkin’ 1965-1976. Since then, they have been releasing expanded editions of her ground-breaking, glass ceiling-shattering, Reprise albums. Nancy & Lee is the latest in the series. The album opens tentatively with a dreamy rendition of “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling. A monster hit in 1964 for Blue-Eyed Soul duo, The Righteous Brothers, it featured Phil Spector’s patented Wall Of Sound production. In Nancy and Lee’s hands, the urgency is supplanted by a languid groove. Strummy acoustic guitar is matched by twinkly piano, rumbly bass, swelling strings and a subtle shuffle rhythm. Lee’s drowsy baritone sets the mood, Nancy seconds that emotion as they trade verses, with just a hint of drama; “You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips, and there’s no tenderness like before in your fingertips, you’re trying hard not to show it, Baby, but Baby, Baby, I know it.” By the time they both get to the “whoa-o-whoah-owhoahs,” it’s clear that they’re both over it, and it’s gone, gone, gone. The album is dotted with idiosyncratic originals, and the pair tackle a few well-known songs as well. Both “Summer Wine” and “Sundown, Sundown” confirm that Lee, with some assistance from arranger Billy Strange, created a quiet/loud dynamic that predates both The Pixies and Nirvana. On the former, shivery strings and finger-cymbals underscore Nancy’s allure. As the tempo accelerates, the instrumentation leaps to attention, signaling Lee’s arrival. Humble-bragging about his silver spurs, it’s clear he’s met his match. She coyly beckons him to “take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time, and I will give to you summer wine.” There must be more to the ingredients than “Strawberries, cherries and an angel’s kiss in Spring,” because he sheepishly notes “When I woke up and the sun was shining in my eyes, my silver spurs were gone, my head was twice its size, she took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime, and left me cravin’ for some more summer wine.”

Predictably, he slips through her fingers, but the backwards, sitar-iffic guitar solo on the break is worth all of her hurt feelings. “Lady Bird” positively goes for Baroque. Fluttery French horn lines up with sylvan strings, wily bass, willowy keys and junky percussion, all tethered to a galumphing gait. Lee remains earthbound as Nancy takes flight. The infectious melody accentuates her playful mien, as she calls the shots; “Winter lives in my heart, in the times we’re apart, summer sings a song or two, when he says ‘I love you true, my Lady Bird,’ yeah, I’m his Lady Bird.” On the break, woozy horns wrap around cascading piano notes, searing keys and a chunky beat. Finally, “I’ve Been Down So Long, It Looks Like Up To Me,” weds sad-sack lyrics to a sunny melody propelled by ornate harpsichord clusters, a feathery horn fanfare, lithe bass lines and a clanky beat. Nancy narrates this loser’s lament as Lee wields the title like a punchline. It punctuates every verse, followed by a peppery horn-attack. One verse feels positively hallucinogenic; “I put my finger in his mind’s eye, and I’ve given him a reason now, to cry, I put his song of life in the wrong key, I’ve been down so long it looks up to me.” The ambling arrangement receives a jolt of energy with every propulsive horn run. While most of the album sounds as though it could have been recorded during the 21st century, a few songs haven’t aged so gracefully. While the arrangement on “Elusive Dreams,” walking bass lines, rat-a-tat drums, Folky guitar and lush strings, still resonates, the lyrics evoke a “Stand By Your Man” subservience that that feels dated and slightly misogynist. There’s a novelty appeal to “Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman” that quickly wears out its welcome. Despite the Country underpinnings, Storybook Children comes across treacly and somewhat corny.Back in 1968, the record officially closed with “I’ve Been Down So Long….,” but for this reissue, Light In The Attic tacked on a couple of unreleased tracks. First up, Nancy and Lee throw caution to the wind and completely reconfigure The Kinks’ “Tired Of Waiting For You.” Breezy strings, slinky piano, Latin percussion and whispery vocals lock into a relax-fit Cha-Cha-Cha rhythm. Rather than trade verses, their dissonant harmonies wash over the cosmopolitan arrangement. Equally wonderful is their version “Love Is Strange,” written by Bo Diddley under a pseudonym, it was originally a hit for Mickey & Sylvia in 1956. Once again, Nancy and Lee keep the melodic chassis intact, stripping it for parts and completely rebuilding the arrangement. The song opens with a raucous drum solo that crests over a brassy fanfare, popping bass lines, stuttery keys, slithery guitars and a conga-riffic beat. By the time they arrive at the flirty calland-response section of the song, Lee is only too happy to push the boundaries of Swingin’ ‘60s decorum. When his lover-girl doesn’t answer immediately, he threatens to start without her. It’s a devilish finish to a great record. Although many of these songs were originally found on different Nancy albums like Movin’ With Nancy, How Does That Grab You and Nancy In London, they fit together seamlessly on this collection. Produced by Lee and arranged by the protean Billy Strange, the instrumentation was provided by famed members of The Wrecking Crew, the ad hoc group of musicians that played behind everyone from The Byrds and The Beach Boys to Sammy Davis, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. These sessions included legendary bassists Chuck Berghofer and Carol Kaye, drummers Hal Blaine and Buddy Harmon, guitarists Glen Campbell, Al Casey, Donnie Owens and Donnie “Dirt” Lanier. Larry Knectel and Don Randi handled keys and Julius Wechter added percussion. Of course, Nancy steadily made music until the mid ‘70s when she settled down and had a family. She returned to the recording studio nearly 20 years later, since then, she’s released several well-received albums. Her songs have never gone out of style. In 2004 she recorded a self-titled effort that found her collaborating with a younger generation of admirers like Morrissey, Pulp front-man Jarvis Cocker, Pete Yorn and Little Steven, As well as Bono and Edge fromLeeU2.toggled between his solo career and production chores, splitting his time between California and Europe. As the decades wore on his music also became revered by younger musicians like Nick Cave, Tindersticks and Lambchop. He and Nancy reunited occasionally, and he released a final album, Cake Or Death, in 2006. He passed away a year later, following a valiant battle with terminal cancer. Still, his music is constantly being rediscovered thanks to collections like Strung Out On Something New: The Reprise Recordings, as well as Light In The Attic’s exhaustive retrospective sets like 2012’s The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes & Backsides (1968-71), 2013’s There’s a Dream I’ve Been Saving: 1966-1971 and 2018’s demo collection Miles From L.A.: 1955-56.

As much as Sonny & Cher and Johnny & June, Nancy & Lee created indelible music that was definitely ahead of its time. Her sophistication and finesse paired perfectly with his gritty and gruff machismo. All of their collaborations were shot through with humor and grace, which is why these recordings remain timeless. Nancy Sinatra took chances and blurred musical lines, mixing Country, Rock, Psychedelia and Jazz. She valued Lee’s opinion, but never deferred to him. Simply put, she was ahead of her time. It might be corny to say it, but you’re already thinking it. Nancy did it her way.

CONSIDERTHIS

A veritable swingers’ paradise, Jackson is where he thinks he’ll let down his hair, she dryly suggests he comb it first. Since the fires have cooled in their marital bed, he hits upon a salacious solution; “When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow, all them women gonna make me teach ‘em what they don’t know how, I’m goin’ to Jackson, you turn-a loose my coat, ‘cos I’m going to Jackson,” Nancy’s deadpan retort; “goodbye, that’s all she wrote.”

The albums best tracks stack back-toback on side two, each one a sui generis Lee composition. “Some Velvet Morning” is probably their best known collaboration, it perfectly distills the duo’s symbiotic disharmony. Ethereal, ephemeral and enigmatic, the song opens with a symphonic wash of strings that cede the spotlight to fecund upright bass, gauzy guitars and a see-sawing beat. Lee’s declaratory phrasing on the verses collide headlong with Nancy’s dulcet chorus, which moves in ¾ time.

The latter opens with a swoony overture of strings and stentorian horns. Shadowy guitar, subtle keys, sinewy bass and a tick-tock beat follow suit. Prickly and insistent, Lee leaves no room for romance; “There’s no one in this world for me, there’s never gonna be.” Each verse punctuated by a staccato salvo of horns and strings. But somewhere in his subconscious, he can still hear Nancy’s honeyed entreaties; “Sundown, I miss you, Sundown, Sundown, I need you Sundown, come on, come on, come on, come on back to me.”

and trippy, Psychedelic guitars. Conversational in tone, Lee is the drawling cowpoke and Nancy is the guileless maiden fair; “Young woman, share your fire with me, my heart is cold, my soul is free, I am a stranger in your land, a wandering man, call me S and.” Naturally, her reply is equally demure; “Oh sir, my fire is very small, it will not warm thy heart at all, but thee may take me by the hand, hold me and I’ll call the Sand.”

Recorded and released just a couple of months after Johnny and June’s epochal version (which reached #2 on the charts), these two offer-up a rollicking rendition of “Jackson.”

BY RICK RIOZZA another, and they’ve always been a great deal. Apparently they’ve been too good of a deal in view of their troubled profit margins. Things are happening as we speak. With low prices still existing, pick up as many as you can for the fall season is a coming. Okay! Now our favorite restaurant recommendation: Johnny Costa’s Ristorante Reopens for their 46th Season Friday September 2nd at 5 PM. Voted Best Italian Restaurant by Palm Springs Life Readers the last 11 years, Johnny’s is a local’s favorite in Palm Springs. Since the passing of the restaurant’s famous founder Johnny Costa in 2019, his son Vince Costa would surely be making his dad proud, keeping the business a family affair with siblings, cousins, and even his sons serving on staff and keeping the menu full of comforting and delicious dishes true to the Costas’ Neapolitan roots. “We’re old-school American Italian classic,” Vince Costa says.Several of the menu’s signature dishes pay tribute to one of the desert’s most fabled Italian American residents, including Frank Sinatra, whom the elder Costa cooked for in restaurant kitchens and, later, as his personal chef.

“Then there are vineyard holdings: about 2400 acres in Washington, 155 acres in Oregon’s Williamette Valley, and 200 acres in Napa Valley. It’s hard to predict which Sycamore might look to sell, as the Napa Valley holdings would bring the most cash but also deliver the most value per acre.”“If Ste. Michelle sells its Washington facility, there will be repercussions for the area’s booming wine tourism industry. There were no wineries or tasting rooms nearby when Ste. Michelle opened in 1976, and today there are more than 130 in four different districts. Ste. Michelle has long served as a shopping mall’s anchor store, drawing in consumers who then patronize the nearby smaller, family-owned wineries as well, which benefit from Ste. Michelle’s advertising and traffic.” So many of us have purchased Chateau Ste. Michelle wines for as long as we can remember.

So what happens when a private equity firm on the East Coast with no winemaking sensibility or know-how buys an established winery on the West Coast? Well—it could be bad news. Actually, last year, many folks visiting down here from Washington State, were quite unaware that the Washington wine giant Chateau Ste. Michele had been sold to a New York based private equity firm, Sycamore Partners, in a 1.2 billion dollar sale. That’s some big new for the state’s residents considering the fact that the state-wide winery operations employ thousands of workers.Theentire story is a bit complicated but it kind of goes like this: Ste. Michelle had been for sale for months because, despite making good wine, it just wasn’t good at selling it. In April 2020, the company had to write off $292 million in unsellable wine inventory. Ste. Michelle wine sales dropped 11 percent last year even though overall US wine sales were up, and the company reported a $360 million loss. A large tobacco firm bought the winery some time ago, but that company needed funds so that’s why they sold it to Sycamore Partners. Data Dynamics said, “The first thing many private equity firms do upon taking over is to sell physical assets. The winery made 7.3 million cases of wine last year; 4.4 million cases of it were two brands, Chateau Ste. Michelle and the 14 Hands brand.

The Beyond Van Gogh exhibition aims to show the artist’s work in a new light, using digital technology to transform the pieces, featuring projections of 300 artworks by Van Gogh such as “The Starry Night,” “Sunflowers,” and “Café Terrace at Night.” While other shows use virtual reality or still images, the show breaks barriers by incorporating both still and moving art. Masterpieces, now freed from frames, come alive, appear, and disappear, flow across multi-surfaces, revealing new details in a three-dimensional landscape that captivates the senses. As guests enter each space, the show is projected on every surface around them, making you feel as though you have stepped directly into a Van Gogh painting. The Beyond Van Gogh art experience is accompanied with a beautiful musical score to heighten the visceral exhibition. Created by French-Canadian creative director Mathieu St-Arnaud and his team at Montreal’s Normal Studio, Beyond Van Gogh is an immersive experience showcasing over 300 of the artist’s works. Through the use of cutting-edge projection technology and an original score, Beyond Van Gogh is a can’t-miss walk through iconic pieces of art.

Americans are traveling more than ever because Covid restrictions have eased. Many of them would like Fido or Fluffy with them on airplane trips. The complexity of pet airline travel may be familiar to our Coachella Valley snowbirds, but others need to be informed and prepare. Determine ahead of time if your pet will make a good traveler, including whether he reacts favorably when you take him out in public. Make sure your dog is obedience trained, and of course house trained. Don’t bring an annoying barking pup on any public transitAirlinessystem.seeking to attract travelers with pets welcome them but have pet policies in place. Advance preparation is a complex process for those who have not yet navigated taking a pet on an airplane. To make it even more challenging, different airlines have different procedures for animals to board their flights, and different destinations may have unique requirements as well. Check airline websites for requirements. You must book your pet’s flight, and airlines require advance payment. Some airlines limit the number of animals onboard each airplane. Well before your trip, have a discussion with your vet. Update any needed vaccinations, review any preexisting medical conditions, and try out any new medications prior to travel time. Your end destination, especially if to another country, could require extensive paperwork with a timeline.

Only small animals can accompany their humans in the passenger section. The weight requirement varies from airline to airline, and larger animals must travel crated in the cargo section below. Traveling in cargo poses a greater risk for an animal as this area is rarely climate controlled which exposes your pet to very high and/or low temperatures. Veterinarian Dr. Jeremy Kimmelstiel advises, “Temperature variations are usually tolerated quite well by healthy adult dogs and cats, but there are certainly exceptions. Flat nosed Brachycephalic dogs such as French Bulldogs are more prone to overheating. Puppies, kittens and senior pets are more likely to suffer from hypo and hyperthermia.” Please book a direct flight if your animal is traveling cargo because of the slight risk of animals getting lost during flight transfer. A veterinarian needs to examine your pet to issue the required health certificate. This can range in cost from $200 upwards to $600 depending on any additional requirements such as rabies or deworming. Bringing a pet onboard is not an inexpensive venture. your dog will enjoy the adventure of being with you in a new location. Hotels and other businesses have discovered that it’s good business to accommodate pets. Happy traveling with your precious pet!

And if Joe Biden sent Hunter to the Saudi Prince and came back with $2 billion for his fledgling hedge fund, wouldn’t you think that something questionable had happened and was worthy of an investigation?

SEVENTH PLACE Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who wasrunning inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.

SIXTH PLACE Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps.

Donald Trump or Jared Kushner did what the Bidens may have done, would you also say that they should go to jail?

FIFTH PLACE Terrence Dickson, of Bristol Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the Unfortunatelygarage. for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. He was forced to sit for EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food He sued the homeowner’s insurance company claiming undue mental anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish.

If all one has to defend former President Trump, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden is ‘The But…’ defense, you’ve lost your argument. ‘The But...’ Defense occurs when you defend someone by pointing out the failings of someone else. If Barack Obama handled Top Secret documents as President Trump has, you would want him prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If Ivanka Trump received large payments from the Ukraine, China and art aficionados without a lick of talent or knowledge, shouldn’t she be MAGAinvestigated?Republicans remind me of the spouse who excuses the behavior of a

FOURTH PLACE Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella’s when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses

THIRD PLACE Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania wins third place because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

Iwas recently at a lunch with a few lawyers. One spilled his coffee and we started talking about the Mc Donald’s case. Surely you have heard of the Mc Donald’s Spilled Coffee case, with what seemed like a stupid verdict. However, few know all the facts which support the underlying verdict …which led to the Stella Awards for crazy litigation. The lawyer was a real estate lawyer and didn’t know all the facts of the case. A case which on its face was ridiculous.

SECOND PLACE Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the cover charge of $3.50, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000 and, oh yeah, plus dental expenses.

FIRST PLACE * This year’s runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver’s seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner’s manual that she couldn’t actually leave the driver’s seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down? $1,750,000. PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.

MC DONALD’S COFFEE

Remember the Pledge of Allegiance? It that daily oath most of us spoke at the start of a school day, we would end the pledge with the phrase, “with liberty and justice for all.” No matter your political leanings, it should disgust you to see the law treat any person in a manner that is inconsistent with the way that you would be treated. Whether your name is Donald, Hillary, Hunter, Jared or <insert your name>, no one should be above the law.

I don’t know of a lawyer who would have accepted the McDonald’s case. One asks, would Indio Juries have ruled the same? Stella Liebeck. 81 years old, spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald’s, where she had purchased the coffee. You may remember she took the lid off the steaming coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. How could anything go wrong? The Stella awards were created for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the USA. These are the kinds of cases that make everyone ask, Why? What most people don’t know is that there were many complaints to Mc Donald’s that their coffee was too hot, and they got burned. During the trial, evidence was presented that McDonalds had learned they could get many more cups of coffee from a bag of coffee beans if they brewed it at very high temperatures. In order to punish Mc Donald’s, the jury returned a very high verdict. It was reduced by the judge. However, Stella was not the only crazy verdict. Here are some of the most outlandish Stella’s. However, note that we don’t know if there were appeals that reversed/reduced the verdict.

Why is it such a problem to investigate the Georgia election, January 6th and the taking of Top Secret government documents by a former President and private citizen? Shouldn’t we all want the truth to come out? And yes, we should investigate Hunter Biden, and Hillary Clinton and anyone else that may have violated the law. In all situations, we should investigate leaders if they engage in behavior that looks questionable on the surface. If innocent, an investigation will clear their name beyond a reasonable doubt.

When it comes to your doctor or investment advisor, it is fair to assume that you want that person to have your best interests at heart. You really do not want a doctor who engages in unnecessary surgeries on you to increase profits. You also want the person managing your money to put you in the best investments over those that pay them the most. I would assume that you want your partner to tell you the truth on matters of importance like your finances or fidelity. If every third word out of your partner’s mouth is a lie, your relationship will suffer if not end. With this as my basis of thinking, I am befuddled in how former President Trump has ardent supporters no matter what he does or says.Whether you believe that Trump is the only thing standing between us and socialism, or is an unhinged Putin-wannabee, take a second to see if your way of thinking best defends democracy in the United States.

philandering cheat of a spouse because there is a good excuse every single time. Okay some of the excuses are pretty farfetched but the spouse cheated on does not want to deal with fallout from a confrontation over lipstick on a collar or even more incriminating evidence in the laundry hamper. Like that spouse, Trump supporters willfully ignore clear signals that Trump is a very bad guy who may have traded or sold state secrets to bad actors around the world.Ithas been proven that Trump siphoned money from his grandfather’s estate. If he would treat family in that way, do you really think he cares more about you or the United States?For the United States to remain a democracy, we need to enforce justice equally, no matter that person’s place in life.

The first step is to determine the source and scope of the breach so that it may be addressed as soon as possible. You should ideally have intrusion detection and/or prevention systems (IDS and IPS) in place that can automatically log such security occurrences. Using these logs, you may determine the source of the breach, which files were accessed, and what actions the intruder performed. This information is critical for your future steps. If your network does not have IDS/IPS, gathering this information will take much more time and effort on the part of your IT team. 2. Address the Breach As Soon As Possible Your first objective in controlling a data breach should be to close all possible entry points for the breach and to halt traffic to the affected areas. This includes the following: • Network traffic rerouting • Obtaining a clean backup copy of essential data and transferring it to a new network • Disregarding the already compromised network them of a breach as soon as possible. Information. Include as much information as possible regarding the type and scope of the breach. If client information has been compromised, notify them of the information that has been stolen. Thoroughness. All impacted parties must be notified of the incident. If feasible, use more than one contact channel (email, phone, etc.) to ensure that all relevant parties are reached.Betransparent and honest about the breach and the danger to your customers in your conversations with them.

This coming September 11th marks twenty years of the 911 attacks our nation. The day this happened was a surreal day I will never forget. I remember like it was yesterday. Just promoted to Interim Fire Chief, I was with Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks resulted in 2,977 fatalities, over 25,000 injuries, and substantial long-term health consequences and continuance of loss of life, in addition to at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. 9/11 is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the UnitedWithStates.somany things going on locally, nationally, and globally, what happened September 11th, 2001, can move to the back of our minds. We are quick to forget, however, we cannot forget those that sacrificed their lives on this day. This article has not changed much from last year’s article. Sadly, we will never be able to extinguish the desire of evil doers to commit their heinous and inhumane acts. They are here in our nation and externally as well, but we must take the fight to end both foreign and domestic terrorism as well as restoring I WILL NEVER FORGET! DIGIOVANNACHIEFFIRESAM

How you communicate the breach to your customers, vendors, and the general public can have a significant impact on whether your company survives or fails. It’s usual practice to send out an email, but it’s also a good idea to set up a contact center to address any concerns that impacted people may have. Accept responsibility, explain why the breach occurred, and the measures you are doing to

The majority of today’s successful businesses are well aware of typical data security risks and place a high level of confidence in their efforts to prevent a data security breach. However, as recent security breaches at Target, LivingSocial, Facebook, Gmail, and Twitter have revealed, no set of security measures is immune to a breach. According to Ponemon Institute statistics, “the average aggregated total cost of a data breach has risen from $3.8 million to $4 million” in recent years. Companies can limit the harm to themselves and their customers by taking the appropriate procedures following a data breach. What today’s firms must consider is: what will you do if your security and data loss prevention procedures fail in the event of a data breach?

5 EASY STEPS TO TAKE WHEN YOUR SMALL BUSINESS SUFFERS A DATA BREACH

• All passwords must be changed You should also keep account of all fees and expenses associated with controlling the data breach since this will be required for filing a criminal complaint and a data breach insurance claim 3. Notify the Authorities as Well as ALL Affected Customers Once you’ve put a patch in place and verified that it works, notify the authorities and notify any customers who may have been impacted by the incident. Federal authorities may be able to assist you with critical instructions for complying with your industry’s post-breach regulatory criteria Contacting consumers tells them that they may need to take steps to safeguard their identity, such as canceling credit cards and changing bank account details. This may be inconvenient for them, but it is preferable to be caught off guard by identity theft. Three key parts of your notification when contacting consumers are: Time.

5. Prepare for Damage Control and PostBreach Cleanup A data breach can have long-term consequences even after the initial intrusion has been “fixed.” Following a breach, there is typically a loss of customer confidence, and regaining the public’s faith in your company may be challenging. You may decrease the cost of a breach by rapidly neutralizing it and reducing the impact of the breach. A small business data breach, on the other hand, can be costly and time-consuming to recover from. A data breach may occur at any time, and small firms are frequently targeted. Don’t let another day go by feeling unprepared because you know your company is exposed to cyberattacks. No doubt, a data breach is a difficult event for any organization, but it does not have to entirely impair your operations. You’ll be far more likely to recover from a data breach and resume business as normal if you create a detailed data breach response plan and ensure you have the appropriate insurance coverage in place.

To which I add, “What good is it if you have brilliant breakthroughs and intriguing insights but never translate them into practical changes in your daily rhythm?” I’m not saying you are guilty of these sins, Leo. But I want to ensure that you won’t be guilty of these sins in the coming weeks. It’s crucial to your long-term future that you devote quality time to being earthy and grounded and pragmatic. Be as effective as you are smart.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I have always felt you Capricorns are wise to commune with rocks, dirt, mud, sand, and clay. I think you should regularly touch the actual earth with your hands and bare feet. If I’m out hiking with a Capricorn friend, I might urge them to sniff blooming mushrooms and lean down to kiss the exposed roots of trees. Direct encounters with natural wonders are like magic potions and miracle medicine for you. Moreover, you flourish when you nurture close personal relationships with anything that might be described as foundational. This is always true, but will be extra true for you in the coming weeks. Your words of power are kernel, core, gist, marrow, and keystone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “To love oneself is hard work,” declares Virgo author Hanif Abdurraqib. He adds, “But I think it becomes harder when you realize that you’re actually required to love multiple versions of yourself that show up without warning throughout a day, throughout a week, throughout a month, throughout a life.” Let’s make that your inspirational strategy, Virgo. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to refine, deepen, and invigorate your love for all your selves. It may be hard work, but I bet it will also be fun and exhilarating.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Jean Frémon says Cancerian naturalist Henry David Thoreau “always had two notebooks—one for facts, and the other for poetry. But Thoreau had a hard time keeping them apart, as he often found facts more poetic than his poems.” Judging from your current astrological omens, Cancerian, I suspect you are entering a time when facts will be even more poetic than usual. If you open yourself to the magic of reality, the mundane details of everyday life will delight you and appeal to your sense of wonder. Routine events will veer toward the marvelous. Can you bear to experience so much lyrical grace? I think so.

In the coming weeks, dear Scorpio, take maximum advantage of these superpowers of yours. Be a master of zeroing in on the opportunities seeded in the dilemmas. Show everyone how to home in on and enjoy the delights in the darkness. Be an inspirational role model as you extract redemption from the messes.

Self-Care is Telling Yourself That it is Okay to Slow Down – Depression and anxiety are a growing condition, so allowing yourself to take a break is incredibly important. You often are asking too much of yourself; you are taught that if you can’t deliver – no matter the cost – you aren’t goodDon’tenough.believe the hype – take the time to make time for yourself, cater to your needs and know that it is necessary to take care of your needs first. So, what should I do? – Self-care means giving yourself permission to relax mentally, physically, and spiritually. Here are a few self-care tips from our own wellness professionals: Learn when to say “no.” Ignore the pressure to overpromise and allow yourself to turn things down. Stick with tasks that are meaningful to you. You can’t do everything for everyone — and that’sGetokay!moving.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When you Geminis are at your best, you don’t merely tolerate dualities. You enjoy and embrace them. You work with them eagerly. While many nonGeminis regard oppositions and paradoxes as at best inconvenient and at worst obstructive, you often find how the apparent polarities are woven together and complementary. That’s why so many of you are connoisseurs of love that’s both tough and tender. You can be effective in seemingly contradictory situations that confuse and immobilize others. All these skills of yours should come in handy during the coming weeks. Use them to the hilt.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How to be the best Libra you can be in the next three weeks: 1. Make sure your cool attention to detail never gets chilly. Warm it up now and then. Invite your heart to add its counsel to your head’s observations. Tenderize your objectivity. 2. Always be willing to be puzzled. Always be entertained and educated by your puzzlement. Proceed on the theory that nothing ever changes unless somebody is puzzled. 3. Practice, practice, practice the art of moderation. Do so with the intention of using it as a flexible skill rather than an unthinking habit. 4. Applying the Goldilocks principle will be essential. Everything must be just right: neither too much nor too little; neither overly grand nor overly modest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the coming weeks, logic may be of only partial use to you. Information acquired through your senses might prove less than fully adequate, as well. On the other hand, your talents for feeling deeply and tapping into your intuition can provide you with highly accurate intelligence. Here’s a further tip to help you maximize your ability to understand reality: Visit a river or creek or lake. Converse with the fish and frogs and turtles and beavers. Study the ways of the crabs and crayfish and eels. Sing songs to the dragonflies and whirligig beetles and lacewings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There are blessings in every abyss. You, of all the signs in the zodiac, have the greatest capacity to find those blessings and make them yours. Likewise, there is an abyss in each blessing. You, of all the signs, have the most power to make sure your experiences in the abyss don’t detract from but enhance the blessing.

SELF-CARE IS NOT

SELFISH –IT’S NECESSARY BY COACH NADIA POPOVA SENDMEATRAINER

2. When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful. 3. Healing comes from gathering wisdom from past actions and letting go of the pain that the education cost you. 4. The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. 5. What serves your spirit enhances your body. What diminishes your spirit diminishes your body. 6. What is in you is stronger than what is out there to defeat you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One of my favorite Sagittarians is practical mystic Caroline Myss, who was born with sun and Mercury and ascendant in Sagittarius. In accordance with current astrological omens, I’ve gathered six of her quotes to serve your current needs. 1. There isn’t anything in your life that cannot be changed.

Running, dancing, or walking can help boost your energy and recharge. Take a minute for yourself. Practice mindfulness, create a gratitude list, or focus on a few deep breaths to help reduce stress. Embrace a hobby. Get your creative juices flowing or find a distraction from every day stress. Some ideas include drawing, crafting, playing an instrument, or gardening. Be kind. Say three nice things to yourself in a mirror. Give yourself a pep talk. Treat yourself to your favorite snack. Whatever you decide to do, you deserve it!

According to this definition, self-care includes everything related to staying physically healthy — including hygiene, nutrition, and seeking medical care when needed. It’s all the steps an individual can take to manage stressors in his or her life and take care of his or her own health and well-being.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dream up creative solutions to problems that haven’t fully materialized yet. Then you can apply your discoveries as you address problems that already exist. In other words, dear Aquarius, I’m telling you that your uncanny facility for glimpsing the future can be useful in enhancing your life in the present. Your almost psychic capacity to foretell the coming trends will be instrumental as you fix glitches in the here and now.

Why Does Self-Care Matter? – You may have heard someone say “The greatest wealth is health”. We can probably all agree that healthcare is important. If you’re sick, you take necessary steps to get better. However, we don’t have to wait for illness to eat healthier or exercise. The same goes for self-care. Don’t wait until you’re burnt out to start giving yourself some attention.

Think of it like regular car maintenance which allows your car to keep cruising on. Incorporate little acts of self-care into your daily routine so that you can keep going strong.

Drink More Water – As summer temperatures rise, our bodies overheat and begin to sweat to cool down. As such, it is crucial to drink more water to stay hydrated during the summer. Every person’s individual hydration needs are different, but a good rule of thumb to shoot for is 8 cups of water each day. Try carrying a re-usable water bottle with you to work, school, or running errands to help increase your daily hydration.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries-born Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was one of the greatest basketball players ever. He excelled at most aspects of the game. Some experts say his rebounding was only average for a player his size—seven feet, two inches. But he is still the third-best rebounder in National Basketball Association history. And he played for 20 years, until age 40. What tips might Abdul-Jabbar have for you now? Here’s a suggestion from him that aligns with your current astrological omens: “Work on those parts of your game that are fundamentally weak.” The implication is that you have a lot of strengths, and now it’s time to raise up the rest of your skill set.

Try a New Workout Routine – Summer weather opens up new opportunities to try new workout routines you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do, such as water sports. These can be done in or around the water. Examples include swimming, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, canyoning, water rafting, fishing, and surfing. If water sports are not an option, you can try gardening, yoga, biking, hiking, or joining a local sports team. Get your body moving and enjoy the benefits.Self-care is completely in your hands and should form part of your daily living routines. Practicing self-care will help you maintain good physical, social, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Add the above tips as part of your summer self-care routine to improve your overall mood and mental health.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As a Taurus, you are always wise to be reverent toward your five senses. They are your glorious treasures, your marvelous superpowers, your sublime assets. In the coming weeks, they will serve you even better than usual. As you deploy them with all your amazement and appreciation unfurled, they will boost your intelligence. They will heighten your intuition in ways that guide you to good decisions. You will tune into interesting truths that had previously been hidden from you. I suspect your sensory apparatus will be so sharp and clear that it will work almost as extrasensory powers.

It Helps You Stay Connected to Yourself –With so much going on, it’s easy to forget to check in with yourself. Are you hungry? Tired? Do you need a break from the chaos? Do you need to unplug for a bit? Taking just a few minutes each day to check in and see how you’re feeling can be a great way to stay connected to yourself. Are you stressed or anxious? If so, what can you do to change that? By regularly checking in with yourself, you’ll have a better sense of where you stand physically, mentally, and emotionally. Self-care is not one size fits all, and it’s not something you do once and then forget about. In order for self-care to be truly effective, you need to incorporate it into your daily life. What that looks like is entirely up to you. The benefits are many and can help you create a positive college experience that you will look back on fondly.

VACCINE-RELATED SKEPTICISM With vaccine-related skepticism being on

BY HILLRUTHR.N.

For many of us, our car serves as an office on wheels. Yet, it’s shocking as you unlock your car door to see that someone’s been inside fumbling through your personal items.

Riverside Police Department had warned me that car thefts have been on the rise in many of our neighborhoods in the Coachella Valley, however the Deputy who took my report had told me that there had been- not only a theft problem from personal items inside the cars, yet throughout the Riverside County, Catalytic Converters were being sawed off cars in particular Toyotas and especially Priuses.

Toyotas in general are highly desired car parts because of their high-performance converters that sells quickly in a thief’s market. Also, Toyotas highly efficient gasoline converters and electric cars contain more precious metals which means more cash for the criminals. These high-quality metals last longer and are a high endurance metal that is greatly wanted in the black market. Nonetheless, one must be cautious today when parking any car, yet those with the Prius, Tacoma’s, SUVS, and Accords can now be on high alert.

Recurrent waves of infection paired with more infectious virus variants are still placing a severe strain on public health systems, preventing governments from abolishing safety Palmitoylethanolamideregulations.(PEA) is a naturally occurring lipid mediator that has an entourage effect on the endocannabinoid system (ECS) mitigating the cytokine storm. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the potential efficacy of PEA in the treatment of long COVID. Patients attending the Neurological Out Clinic in Messina, Italy, from August 2020 to September 2021 were screened for potential inclusion in the study. The efficacy of PEA could be explained by its anti-inflammatory properties as well as its antiviral activity. The neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effect of PEA has been recently studied in patients with smell dysfunction. In a recent clinical trial on the efficacy of PEA on olfactory dysfunction, it has been shown that a combination of PEA and luteolin (PEA-LUT) with olfactory training was more efficient in recovering smell than olfactory training alone. Luteolin is a flavonoid possessing antioxidative, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies show it also offers cardiac protection. PEA-LUT is available on Amazon.Indeed, PEA disassembles lipid droplets thanks to the activation of the PPAR-α receptor. The lack of drug interactions and absence of adverse effects of PEA is an important advantage in the management and adherence to the therapy, also in the earliest stages of COVID-19.

Chronic CBD administration reduced the acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by the cytokine storm. CBD taken as a prophylactic administration or taken at the time of an event prevents the negative consequences of myocardial infarction by decreasing the infarct size or arrhythmia. Chronic administration of CBD through prophylactic and/or therapeutical interventions has numerous beneficial effects in organs that are also targeted by the coronavirus; they mainly result from CBD’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidative actions.

CAN CANNABIS TREAT LONG COVID?CANNABISCORNER

LONG COVID SYMPTOMS

The main symptoms include extreme tiredness, shortness of breath, chest pain or tightness, and “brain fog” (that is problems with memory and concentration), as well as difficulty sleeping, heart palpitations, dizziness, joint pain, the persistence of inability to smell and/or neuropsychiatric complications. From sixteen publications in the literature, I present in this article the advantages of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating phytocannabinoids, from the cannabis plant, as a potential agent for the treatment of COVID-19. CBD has been shown to stop the proteins responsible for viral entry and inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication. Non-intoxicating CBD is isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant and, apart from the psychoactive ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), represents the best-studied compound in this group. Clinical studies, which reveal the anxiolytic and antinociceptive effects of CBD (given alone or together with THC), may be important in addition to other treatments to improve the quality of life in patients with COVID-19 and limit post-traumatic stress symptoms.

This morning I had discovered that my car was ran sacked with five dollars’ worth of change missing and two-dollar bills as well. Everything in my car was topsy turvy from my stamped mail that I planned on taking to the post office, and a wedding invitation that had greasy fingerprints all over it. It’s an awful feeling to see your personal things thrown around and a sense of not feeling safe took overTheme.

Hondas’.Youmight ask why are Catalytic Converters being stolen? The converters are being stolen for the precious metals; a criminal can sell a catalytic converter to metal recyclers for approximately $200 dollars. Further, the recyclers then remove the metals, and then sell it- at a profit of $5000 dollars per ounce!

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) can cause symptoms that last weeks or months after the infection has gone, with a significant impairment of quality of life. This condition is defined as “persistent postCOVID syndrome” (PPCS) or “long COVID”. Indeed, it is believed that the hyperactivation of the immune system with abnormalities in the blood clotting system could persist in predisposed individuals causing the chronic symptomatology of long COVID.
