In response to the devastating impact that COVID-19 continues to have on the African-American community, Burrell Communications Group will release a video PSA entitled “For Jason” as part of its “Black is Human” initiative.
The PSA pays tribute to Detroit Transit Authority veteran Jason Hargrove, who died in late March from COVID-19 complications after posting an impassioned plea for public safety via Facebook. The video quickly went viral, garnering more than 805,000 views and 23,000 shares as it brought national attention to the dire need for all essential workers to be armed with personal protective equipment (PPE).

“The 68 Thorne Miniature Rooms enable one to glimpse elements of European interiors from the late-13th century to the 1930s and American furnishings from the 17th century to the 1930s. Painstakingly constructed on a scale of one inch to one foot, these fascinating models were conceived by Mrs. James Ward Thorne of Chicago and constructed between 1932 and 1940 by master craftsmen according to her specifications.”

The coronavirus pandemic has introduced a good deal of uncertainty into our lives, as well as the lives of our pets. As people shelter at home, adopt new pets or foster dogs for sick family and friends, now is the time to reinforce safety and responsible pet ownership.
National Dog Bite Prevention Week (NDBPW) is April 12-18, 2020. Members of the National Dog Bite Prevention Week Coalition include the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), State Farm®, Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.), American Humane, and the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior. The coalition joins forces each year to draw attention to how people can reduce the number of dog bites.
Stress can affect pets and cause them to feel anxiety. In some cases, dogs will exhibit anxious behaviors such as barking, aggressive behavior, or destructive behavior.
According to Victoria Stilwell, CEO of Positively.com and the Victoria Stilwell Academy of Dog Training and Behavior, the coronavirus pandemic has affected pets, too.
“Dogs that are used to kids being at school and adults at work are now finding themselves surrounded by their families 24/7,” says Stilwell. “Most welcome the company but some dogs are having a hard time adjusting to the constant noise, attention and lack of space.”

“I thought that jump ropes would be more convenient if they were easier to carry and store,” said an inventor from Chicago. “This led me to develop an adjustable jump rope that can be taken along anywhere you go.”
He created a prototype for the patent-pending RETRACTABLE JUMP ROPE to enable the user to adjust the length of the rope as needed. The accessory is easy to carry and store. The device is easier to use than conventional jump ropes. It is made of durable components. Additionally, the invention promotes physical activity. It can be used by one or three or more people and can extend up to 16 to 18 feet. It can be used for single usage or to jump double dutch.

While atheists agree that Jesus could not possibly have been the son of an imaginary god, scholars continue to debate whether a historical Jesus ever existed at all. Just in time for Easter, the latest issue of Free Inquiry confronts the Jesus myth head-on, exposing the errors, inconsistencies, and absurdities that run through the Bible’s conflicting accounts of the life and deeds of a revolutionary and, ultimately, fictional figure.
“Recognizing that Jesus was a mythical son of God is not just an esoteric question debated by religious scholars,” writes Eugene D. “Duke” Mertz. “On the contrary, it is absolutely vital to properly understand and address the appeal of Christianity. While some of these ideas could be considered revolutionary, Jesus was not killed because of them.”
