“Florida will always be welcoming to all of our athletes with disabilities, regardless of COVID vaccination status,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Special Olympics International should have never imposed a vaccine mandate on their athletes. Special Olympians who were in limbo for months will now be able to compete in Florida thanks to our continued actions to keep Floridians’ medical decisions private.”
(NAPSI)—For the world’s leading neuroscientists, unlocking the brain’s capacity to stimulate neural plasticity has become something of a Holy Grail.
That’s because enhancing plasticity is perhaps the most important step towards repairing central nervous system (CNS) damage. In fact, it can have a profound impact across multiple neurological functions, including improving motor, sensory and cognitive abilities such as memory.
People marvel at how children are able to learn things so quickly and easily. This ability is mediated by their brains’ nimble neural plasticity. Neuroscientists once believed that neuroplasticity manifested predominately during childhood. However, research in the mid-20th century demonstrated that many aspects of the brain can be altered, even in adulthood. Still, the developing brain has a significantly higher degree of plasticity than the adult brain.
The human brain consists of enormous networks of neurons. They act as messengers that use electrical impulses and chemical signals to transmit information between different areas of the brain, and between the brain and the nervous system. Even a very simple task, such as standing or sitting, typically involves millions of interconnected neurons. Damage to these interconnected systems can be catastrophic. Continue reading

(NAPSI)—The 2022 hurricane season is underway, with the Colorado State University (CSU) Tropical Meteorology Project Team forecasting an above-average storm season for the Atlantic basin. Emergency preparation experts say now is the time to get ready, especially as CSU places the probability of a major hurricane making landfall along U.S. coastlines at 71 percent.
When a hurricane hits, food, water and other critical supplies can run short and this year the situation could be even worse due to ongoing supply chain issues. What’s more, severe storms will negatively impact an aging electrical grid that is overdue for updating, causing the power to go out for days—if not weeks. In short order, residents may find themselves in dire need for supplies and backup power.
What You Can Do
To help people better prepare for outages, the power outage experts from Generac, a global energy technology company, share the following tips: Continue reading
(NAPSI)—More than 5,400 postal employees were attacked by dogs in the United States in 2021. From nips and bites to vicious attacks, aggressive dog behavior poses a serious threat to postal employees and just about everyone else.
To help people understand the enormity of this serious issue, the U.S. Postal Service provides information on the do’s and don’ts of responsible dog ownership as part of its annual National Dog Bite Awareness Week public service campaign.
The campaign runs Sunday, June 5, through Saturday, June 11 but any time is a good time to consider dog bite prevention. This year’s theme is “The USPS Delivers for America—Deliver for Us by Restraining Your Dog.” You can help spread the news of the campaign by using the hashtag #dogbiteawareness. Continue reading
(NAPSI)—A fast, reliable Internet connection has become a critical part of our daily lives. From remote learning and working to networking and searching for jobs, Americans everywhere felt an online shift during COVID-19.
And, while the country gradually recovers from the pandemic, the collective need to stay connected remains stronger than ever.
Enter the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
ACP extends and makes permanent the Internet subsidy for families in need that began under the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. Falling under the $1.2T bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the ACP is part of a $65 billion broadband Internet initiative designed to bring affordable or even free Internet service to families who qualify.
Eligible households can save up to $30 a month, or up to $75 if they reside on tribal lands. Continue reading
(NAPSI)—According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one in 10 Americans can expect to be diagnosed with diabetes. If you or someone you care about is ever among them, you may be surprised to learn that one of the most important ways your doctor can help detect the condition is with an eye exam.
The Problem
That’s because a serious complication of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy. The disease causes damage to the blood vessels in the back of the eye. It can affect up to 80 percent of patients living with diabetes and is the leading cause of blindness amongst working age adults. It can affect up to 80 percent of people with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy has no early warning signs, and symptoms such as blurred vision do not occur until diabetic retinopathy is in an advanced state.
What Can Be Done
Fortunately, early detection and timely treatment can reduce the risk of vision loss due to diabetic retinopathy by 95%. Primary Care physicians now have access to a simple and affordable solution called the Welch Allyn® RetinaVue® Care delivery model, available from Henry Schein. The RetinaVue care delivery model is a turnkey solution that consists of three core components, including the RetinaVue 700 Imager, RetinaVue Network software for secure transfer of patient images and Professional Medical Services to analyze and diagnose patient images and networks the doctors already have. The imager’s ease of use and lightweight, portable design make it well-suited for use across clinics, at the bedside or even in the home. In a fast and non-invasive procedure, your primary care physician can take a photo of your retina and send it to an ophthalmologist to analyze the blood vessels there. Thanks to this technology, you won’t even need to leave the doctor’s office and may not need to make another appointment with the ophthalmologist, although doctors do recommend that anyone living with diabetes get an annual retinal exam.

2,000 Mules video! Produced by DINESH D/SOUSA
By TomL
I will try to describe the video as a short version. I may have missed a couple of things that is why you should watch the video! I don’t see this as a hoax, you watch it if you can get a copy. The current administration is trying to suppress it video. All Americans should view the video.
Several of us watched the 2,000 mules video. It is eye opening. It took the coming together of several investigating agency (CELL GEOTRACKING DATA) was used, from one company. Being able to locate a person’s phone and locate where they were at any given time on any given day.
Next was investigation into cameras at each ballot boxes.
After looking at the telephone pings being in the same places by certain people, the investigators ask for video footage of the ballet boxes. They are all supposed to have them operating during elections voting hours 24 hours a day. The investigator’s noticed the same person coming to the ballet boxes a number of times. They applied the telephone tracking application. The number of hit’s were much to big and cumbersome, so they decided to track anyone traveling to the ballot boxes 20 times in one day. There was at least 2,000 so they ask for video footage of the ballet boxes. Some requests were denied they said there were not available but still a few came in. They are supposed to supply them by federal law, some did not! They busted some ballot stuffers in the early days of the election and arrested them by fingerprints evidence, so from that day on the video show’s they all were wearing gloves. You see that on the video. The subject pulled up in the middle of the night with gloves on stuffed the ballots into the ballot box, took a picture proving they were there, took the gloves off and disposed of them in a nearby trash cans. The video’s show different people stuffing ballet boxes between 1 am and 5 am but a few in broad day light hours. Suppose you take 2,000 mules (people) in one night stuffing 20 ballots at 20 different locations in one night. How many votes is that? I think it’s 800,000 per night. You figure it out! Who really won the election? Watch the video and you decide! Continue reading
