Volume 4 | Number 6 | June 2021 Let us begin our discussion with the fact that disasters are not a surprise and, therefore, can be avoided. As most of you are aware, I live in South Florida, or more specifically, Miami. It’s a beautiful area with sun-soaked beaches and bodies and a plethora of luxurious cars and boats to keep your lottery dreams alive. Unfortunately, our paradise came to a screeching halt last Thursday morning when those of us who were fortunate enough awoke to the news of a condo collapse in our beautiful city. Just 8 miles from my home, over one-third of the Champlain Towers South condominium building had collapsed! The video footage captured from a nearby security camera was numbing. It looked like a planned implosion - except for the fact that residents were peacefully sleeping in their beds. There are twelve confirmed deaths so far, with up to another 149 residents still unaccounted for; mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, partners, and frie

What begins with the letter "I"? Infrastructure is essential and sometimes taken for granted. Pipes carry drinking water to our homes, offices, and healthcare facilities, and carry away sewage and wastewater. Highways, airports, railroads, waterways, roads, and bridges make efficient transportation of goods and safe travel possible. Energy systems and transmission lines keep the lights on and the stove cooking. Broadband data transmissions systems assure high speed internet access. On Thursday, President Biden and a bipartisan group of senators announced that progress had been made on the framework for a bipartisan infrastructure plan. Investors were happy to hear it. Randall Forsyth of Barron's reported: "…Washington this past week finally took steps to address the nation's manifest deficiencies in its infrastructure…Perhaps tellingly, the bond market had only a minimal reaction to the prospect of further government spending. But stocks of companies that cou

Kantar BrandZ this month released its ranking of the world’s most valuable brands. As you would imagine, Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Tencent make up the top 5. But what are the most valuable Toy and Toy-Related brands? In other words, companies that either make or sell toys and those who create intellectual property licensed by toy companies. I studied the Kantar list, and here are the most valuable Toy and Toy-Related brands: #1 Amazon is currently the number 2 retailer in the world. They are expected to pass Walmart in 2021. Its streaming platform Amazon Prime provides child and family-oriented movies and animation licensed by toy companies. #5 Tencent is a Chinese multinational conglomerate active in gaming, comics, movies, streaming video, e-commerce, and more. #7 Alibaba is a Chinese multi-national company active in e-commerce, retail, and the Internet. #9 McDonalds is the largest producer of toys in the world via its Happy Meals. #24 Netflix provides it

This weekend dozens of hot dog eating contests will be taking place nationwide.  This includes Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is considered to be the "Super Bowl "of eating competitions. Because competitive eating events are at an all-time high during the 4th of July weekend, Eat Smart Expert Ruth Houston feels a warning is in order.  Says Houston, "Would-be-participants need to know that hot dog eating contests are not the harmless fun they appear to be.  They are deceptively dangerous and can sometimes result in death. She feels the growing popularity of speed eating as a major competitive sport should be a major cause for concern.  The International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) sanctions approximately 50 to 80 Major League Eating events each year, including Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.  Houston, the author of the upcoming book Eat Smart and Lose Weight:  Scientifically Proven Ways to Lose Weight without Diets or Exercise, is high

I’m often asked what my favorite gadgets are, so I am sharing here: My bullet journal. Sure it is old school, but it works for my adhd brain and is my creative outlet. I still get satisfaction from pencil and paper lists and crossing out activities as I complete them. My airpods. The noise cancelling feature alone is worth the investment to switch off outside distractions. I often wear them with no music playing just to silence the outside world. Evernote. It’s my digital filing system that I never have to actually file! The search function is incredibly effective for pulling up information based on one key word. My Fitbit. It helps track the quality and quantity of my sleep which is the foundation of my productivity, if all else falls by the wayside it’s sleep I focus on first to get a fast productivity boost. (I have all Fitbit notifications off, so my email and texts don’t appear on my wrist.)Linksys Velop Intelligent Mesh Wifi. With 5 of us in our house full time this year, we ne
