How do you listen to your music?
• Do you have a large stack of CDs?
• How about a crate of old records?
• Maybe you even have a dusty collection of 8-tracks or an iPod full of mp3 files.
These are what you probably think of when you want to listen to music, however, one of the fastest growing formats for music is streaming.
Streaming is the use of a computer, cell phone, or other technology to have music (or other media, such as movies) delivered to your device.

As COVID-19 vaccine becomes available and more people are eligible, it might be a good idea to review the prevaccination checklist that is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
It is important to understand why these questions are relevant to the overall success of the COVID-19 vaccine. The answers allow the professionals to assess if the vaccine is appropriate for you or if they need to take extra precautions when administering the vaccine such as the potential for an allergic reaction.

Climate change is an issue that needs to be addressed with alacrity.
We need honest debate about climate change to yield the best result for everyone. The best way to do this is to use science and facts.
I have faith in humanity. I believe that when people know better, they do better. It is the fault of many politicians and media that we are not exposed to the facts about climate change.
I would be very surprised if you have already heard all of the numbers that I am going to show you. Everyone deserves to know these numbers, but hardly anyone is talking about them.

“Talking to Strangers” is a look at miscommunication.
Malcom Gladwell's 2019 nonfiction book is a look at how communication fails when there are no common expectations between strangers in the language they use.
“Talking to Strangers” (Hachette Book Group, ISBN978-0-316-47852-6) presents cases where spoken language is subverted by non-verbal cues that can be misconstrued by the observer to mean something other than what they are meant to be.

One of the characteristics that other generations use to describe Gen Z is “soft.” Maybe that’s true.
I do believe that we are more sensitive than other generations. Our generation wants to set boundaries. Many members of Generation Z want to create an environment where people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, and races feel safe. We live in a free country. As a patriot, I believe that we need to respect people’s individual liberties that do not harm others.
