All heart attacks have the same warning signs. We all know the classic heart attack symptoms: chest pain, arm/back discomfort, shortness of breath. But what if we told you that you could have a heart attack, and not feel any of those symptoms?

  • Creating Fiction From History: 3/2/2022

    CHARLES HADDON SHANK|Mar 2, 2022

    Henrietta Asburges was born in Nichols, Iowa, just before the turn of the previous century, on the 15th of April 1899. This small town in South-Eastern Iowa was surrounded by farmsteads. Being of German heritage, even in those early days, the Asburges were looked at with some suspicion when they set up a small farmstead on the outskirts of the farming community. Henrietta, or Retta as she became fondly known, was thus in her 19th year on this Good Earth when War broke out in Europe....

  • Protecting Those Most Vulnerable to Flu

    Stateppoint|Feb 23, 2022

    Flu season is still underway and it’s important to protect yourself and your loved ones. While influenza can have severe health consequences for anyone, adults 65 and older and those with chronic health conditions are especially vulnerable. Nationally, up to 70% of flu hospitalizations have occurred in patients over 65. Because the immune system naturally weakens with age and older adults don’t always develop the same level of immunity through vaccination as younger people, they may benefit from the additional protection of having those the...

  • Landmark #MeToo Bill: Is It Enough?

    STEVIE CROISANT, We are HER|Feb 23, 2022

    On February 10th, Congress approved new legislation guaranteeing people who experience sexual harassment in the workplace the right to seek recourse through the courts.

The arbitration process almost always benefits the employer and prevents any misconduct allegations from being publicized. This measure, which is expected to be signed into law by President Biden,...
