Saving Lives, Hands-Only CPR

Performing CPR can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. Cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and disrupts the flow of blood to the brain, lungs and other organs - is a leading cause of death. Each year, over 420,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. When a person has a cardiac arrest, survival depends on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby.

RACISM IS WRONG

Racism and discrimination are wrong, whether its in Florida, New York, Missouri, US border towns, Africa, Asia, or anywhere else on earth.

Way too many individuals and groups have experienced racism first-hand. Prejudice can be defined as thinking that a race is better than any other race. The issue with racism is that unfortunately it is still present. We are faced with racism everyday and it eventually leads to discrimination and social injustices.

SELFIES OR SELFISH?

Is it all about me, myself and I? Are these three of the most important beings in your life?

An individual who is devoted to or caring only for oneself. A person who is concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, regardless of others. Symptoms characterized by manifesting concern or care only for oneself.

AL FRESCO DINING

While you can always indulge in traditional beach favorites like hot dogs and fries, City Island's Orchard Beach also features a unique spread of Cuban and Italian specialties provided by Havana Cafe.

With the unusual chance to grab the combo of yucca fries and an Italian hero, these snack bars are definitely worth your while. But if you’re looking to make your trip to the Bronx a little later in the summer, keep an eye out for the opening of a new pizza and beer garden at Turtle Cove in Pelham Bay Park.

WOODSTOCK: 45 YEARS LATER

45 years ago today, back in 1969, the grooviest event in music history ended. The Woodstock Music Festival offered three days of peace, love and rock 'n' roll in upstate New York.

Three Days of Peace and Music, The Woodstock Festival was supposed to make enough money to build a recording studio near the New York town of Woodstock. When they couldn't find an appropriate venue in the town itself, promoters decided to hold the festival on a 600-acre dairy farm in Bethel, New York--some 50 miles from Woodstock--owned by Max Yasgur.
