THE PRICE OF NEWS

Paywalls are destroying democracy. companies no longer show the news is a public service with current events and public affairs.
They appear to be in it for the profit margin using paywalls or an excessive amount of commercial blocks on the evening news.
When a perfect world order prevails, is like a home shared by all. Leaders are capable and virtuous. Everyone loves and respects the larger family that can disagree without name-calling or violence.

THE OLDEST PROFESSION

it has been said the world’s oldest profession is hunting or farming, but I like to say that it is teaching wisdom and sharing knowledge.
Some believe Greedflation is responsible for the hike in the cost of living in recent years, and teachers have felt the greatest squeeze.
Unfortunately, financial pressures have long affected adjuncts, and substitute teachers, whose pay often falls well below a livable wage. But even those fortunate enough to have a tenured position might find themselves safe from economic forces.

Hello, how are you feeling lately? Please feel free to let us know by sending us an email to CityImages3@gmail.com
Have you ever suddenly heard a familiar tune or remembered a song over the airwaves that you once thoroughly enjoyed listening to?
These songs used to be played on the radio quite a bit, but have vanished. This artistic sound may not get the attention it once did.
REAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Images
As we know it is easy to just chalk every extreme weather event up to climate change, but the data tells us we cannot ignore it
there is a meteorological phrase that we often refer to this time of year: "As November goes, so goes the winter." Meaning, the weather in November can often be an indicator of how the winter will go.
This raises the stakes even more over the next several weeks.
TRAVELING MAN

After arriving from Habana, growing up on the East Coast, then living in Miami for years, I moved out west, now to LA and back to NYC.
Some things were easy to adjust to, like the climate and the differences in public transportation.Other things threw me off, like LA's chill attitude and the slower pace of Miami.
TEQUILA FOR THE PEOPLE
Images
Allow me to point out the distinctions between unprocessed and processed agave, and the potential health implications of drinking tequila.
Some online content reports that tequila has health benefits. However, research shows that any health benefits tequila may provide derive from compounds in its raw ingredients, not from the alcohol itself.
HANGOVER

Here is an interesting look into modern research on hangover cures. A study from Sun Yat-sen University provides a great example of how scientists are analyzing the biochemical processes behind hangovers and exploring potential remedies. By focusing on how certain substances interact with the enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism—like acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)—they’ve been able to pinpoint specific drinks that might help or hinder recovery.
