Dr. Scott Atlas of the Hoover Institute, discussed why we don’t need to be scared of the increase spread of coronavirus on Good Morning San Diego with KUSI’s Paul Rudy.

Atlas said that he has done more than a superficial analysis of the numbers, and after analyzing them, he doesn’t get scared.

By Danielle Schipani  Hackensack Meridian Health

Everyone knows that staying hydrated is one of the most important ways of maintaining wellness. There are many benefits to staying hydrated, including higher energy levels, maximizing physical performance, and avoiding headaches.

But, does the amount of water a person should drink, change with the seasons? Should you drink more during the summer months?

“Typically, in the warmer spring and summer months people sweat more,” says Dr. Anne Park, D.O., a primary care physician at Hackensack Meridian Medical Group, who specializes in nutrition and obesity. “Dehydration can cause your blood pressure to drop, which can make you feel like you are driving with an empty tank,” explains Dr. Park.

Ridgewood NJ, the coronavirus pandemic and now social unrest  has changed the way students will learn. Colleges have closed their campuses , classes have  moved online. The age range for effective online or remote learning has been greatly expanded, some suggesting even as young as middle school would benefit from a more focused remote learning environment especially given the irrationality of some of the social unrest.  Some of these changes will be temporary, but others may be permanent.

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood was once again the scene of another “Black Lives Matter” protests . It is being reported that there was one arrest for disrupting traffic at the corner of North Broad and East Ridgewood.  The demonstration was “otherwise peaceful “.   The Protesters marched up and Down Ridgewood Avenue  and also protested in front of the Ridgewood police station.

A few observation: while we are firm believers in Free Speech  unlike many in the Village , Free Speech carries with it responsibility and consequences , ask Muhammad Ali .While we commend the children for being active and engaged, we are once again concerned over the use of young people to score political points.  Some Ridgewood moms tried to compare the arrests to Selma ,saying, “I’m sure they told Selma protesters to stay out of the street/off the bridge too! “. In Selma the Democrats used dogs and water cannons, and the police beat protesters with night sticks . One of the signs read ,”have you ever been f-ed by the system” , folks Ridgewood is the system  , and you are living a pretty easy life .

What Happened to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?

founding-fathers-declaration-of-independence

by JON HARARI

Today is an unusual day, unlike many July 4th’s of years past.

What happened to all of our unalienable Rights, the ones written 244 years ago in our Declaration of Independence of July 4th, 1776, including Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness?  Well, maybe today is not so unusual, as never before do we have more of our unalienable Rights as we do today.

Life – we are alive, there never has been more live Americans in existance, our life expectancy and health standards have never been historically higher as human beings, and the sacrifices those are making on the front lines and the ones everyone else are making like quarantining and social distancing is helping to further increase the lives of others.

How To Use Fashion To Express Oneself

Fashion is a reflection of who you are. Dressing up is something that most of us look forward to every day, and wearing quality attire like Swanndri clothing can make the experience even more enjoyable. Every dilemma would be; should I wear a dress? Or put my cardigan? How about trousers? And many more choices that we need to make in our everyday lives. What you wear reflects your personality and attitude. It is a personal expression of a person’s beauty and strength. It gives us confidence and also helps us to fit in or stand out from the crowd. However, few people have a mindset that you can’t be considered as fashionable if you don’t have money to buy branded clothes, or if you only wear cheap pieces. If you have the same outlook for fashion like this, better change your mind because that is wrong. It is not about the price tag and the brand, it is about how you choose and create your own style. Remember that creativity expresses oneself. To know more, here are some ways to express a man and woman’s self through fashion.

from Bergen County Historical Society

“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.” An extract from a letter written by John Adams to his wife Abigail. July 3rd, 1776.
