Physical activity increases physical and mental health. Did you know working out strengthens your immune system, allowing you to fight diseases? This makes it extremely important to keep our bodies healthy and fit to help fight the coronavirus. Fitness is a hugely essential part of many people's lifestyles. A large number of clients who do personal training have been advised by their doctors or physicians to receive physical activity daily to help with weight loss and mental health issues, making personal training a vital part of the average persons day. The spread of the coronavirus has changed our lives entirely. Many privately owned gyms have had to shut their doors, putting thousands of personal trainers out of work. Unfortunately for many trainers, this is their main or only form of income. We are extremely aware of the dangers of COVID19 and promise to make the practice of social distance our top priority by only working with 1-2 client's at a time, wiping everything down after every use, staying at least 6 ft away from each other, and constantly making sure to stay up-to-date with new ways of fighting COVID19.

The majority of eighth-grade students in the United States rely on the internet at home to get their homework done. Roughly six-in-ten students (58%) say they use the internet at their home to do homework every day or almost every day, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of data from the 2018 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Just 6% of students say they never use the internet at home for this purpose. There are differences in these patterns by community type and parents’ education level. Roughly two-thirds of students attending suburban schools (65%) say they use the internet for homework every day or almost every day, compared with 58% who attend schools in cities, 50% of those who attend in rural areas and 44% of those attending schools in towns. Students whose parents graduated from college are more likely to use the internet for homework at home. Some 62% of these students use the internet at home for homework, compared with smaller shares of students whose parents have some post-high school education (53%), have only a high school education (52%) or have no high school education (48%). The “homework gap” – which refers to school-age children lacking the connectivity they need to complete schoolwork at home – is more pronounced for black, Hispanic and lower-income households. Some 15% of U.S. households with school-age children do not have a high-speed internet connection at home, according to a previously published Pew Research Center analysis of 2015 U.S. Census Bureau data. School-age children in lower-income households are especially likely to lack broadband access. Roughly one-third (35%) of households with children ages 6 to 17 and an annual income below $30,000 a year do not have a high-speed internet connection at home, compared with just 6% of such households earning $75,000 or more a year. These broadband gaps are particularly pronounced in black and Hispanic households with school-age children – especially those with low incomes. Some lower-income teens say they lack resources to complete schoolwork at home. In a 2018 Center survey, about one-in-five teens ages 13 to 17 (17%) said they are often or sometimes unable to complete homework assignments because they do not have reliable access to a computer or internet connection. Black teens and those living in lower-income households were more likely to say they cannot complete homework assignments for this reason. For example, one-quarter of black teens said they often or sometimes cannot do homework assignments due to lack of reliable access to a computer or internet connectivity, compared with 13% of white teens and 17% of Hispanic teens. Teens with an annual family income below $30,000 were also more likely to say this than teens with a family income of at least $75,000 a year (24% vs. 9%). In the same survey, around one-in-ten teens (12%) said they often or sometimes use public Wi-Fi to do schoolwork because they lack a home internet connection. Again, black and lower-income teens were more likely to do this. Roughly one-in-five black teens (21%) said they use public Wi-Fi to do schoolwork due to a lack of home internet connection, compared with 11% of white teens and 9% of Hispanic teens. And around a fifth (21%) of teens with an annual family income under $30,000 reported having to use public Wi-Fi to do homework, compared with 11% of teens in families with a household income of $30,000-$74,999 and just 7% of those living in households earning at least $75,000. A quarter of lower-income teens do not have access to a home computer. One-in-four teens in households with an annual income under $30,000 lack access to a computer at home, compared with just 4% of those in households earning over $75,000, according to the 2018 survey. There are also differences by race and ethnicity. Hispanic teens were especially likely to say they do not have access to a home computer: 18% said this, compared with 9% of white teens and 11% of black teens. State Representative La Shawn K. Ford has drafted legislative language to provide broadband services at no cost to all residents of the state, with priority given to areas with high levels of poverty and lacking the infrastructure to receive high-speed internet access. Amends the Broadband Advisory Council Act. Directs the Council to develop a plan to provide access to broadband services at no cost to all residents of this State. Provides that the Office of Broadband within the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall support and assist the Council in the development of the plan. Requires that priority be given to zip codes identified as having high levels of poverty and areas lacking the infrastructure necessary to meet requirements for high-speed access to the Internet. Requires the Council to identify existing and new streams of State revenue necessary to implement the plan. Provides that the Council shall report the plan and recommendations for legislation necessary to implement the plan to the General Assembly by March 31, 2021. Effective immediately.

Because most families are getting infected

There is one group of people that fall between unemployment and pandemic assistance unemployment. Those drawing Social Security and Social Security Disability have been forgotten. Those that have Social Security as their only income have been greatly impacted, and there has been no mention of this group. Most of these folks are your parents or grandparents, aunts and uncles. They have worked hard all of their lives now to live amidst such a struggle just to buy food and medication and keep their lights on. Surely you do not want that for your family member. With the Back to Work program, there is a section of disabled folks that are allowed to work a tiny amount of hours each week, if medically possible (given their disability), within the guidelines SS has set up. They cannot pay rent, mortgages, pharmacy bills, even expected monthly bills such as electricity, with the one time $1200 stimulus payment! A lot of folks have had to double up and delay payment for phone or electricity for two months, while it was already difficult to pay just for one month. While all are thankful IF they have received the stimulus check, many that I know have not even received the first check!! They are going to be so far behind on all bills, where do they go for help? How can SO MANY I know even afford to EAT and buy food and much needed maintenance medications without ANY INCOME?! Retail Pharmacies do not allow you to run a tab and pay whenever! These medications are crucial in order to just function on the most basic, bare level, even staying at home. Chronic pain patients are very hard-hit. Those that are living on a disability check have had to stack up several months on some bills. There is simply no money at all just to exist! PLEASE HELP!! I know a lot of self employed people that make such a small amount of money and some are also drawing disability. They just cannot live on the disability check and the self-employment assistance WILL NOT be available to these good people. How do we help them??? They were barely squeaking by before now. We are the “richest country in the world” and to say these folks live on a fixed income doesn’t even begin to describe the tiny amount of money they have to juggle. This SHOULD NOT HAPPEN in the USA. #nooneshouldgowithout #allofusneedtoeat #helpthepeopleleftout #disabledandforgotten

We, the workers are risking our health as well as our families health. We cannot quarantine. If we decide to stay home we risk losing our jobs. Most of us are not eligible for the paid leave, and that is only if our our companies provide that offer, most do not.

We have been putting our families at risk during this pandemic on a daily basis, some of us have even contracted the virus.

When I moved here, I was blown away by the love and help my son and I received. We were lucky enough to be able to camp for the 6 months we were homeless and we had so much help from the community. I see the need for a safe place for the homeless to go and want to give back and find a way to help.

Since the dawn of man we have looked up to the sky and been inspired by the countless stars and constellations. We've lived and died under clear starry night skies and now Elon Musk is planning to send 12,000 satellites up into the sky to muddy it up and pollute beyond recognition the last pure thing we as a species have left.

Because just as those who have been out of work are at risk and need help, so are the people who still have to go to work every day...

This is important because a lot of students are struggling with doing school online. Everyone has different learning styles. Marysville is setting us and our GPA’s to fail. We need to make a change.

I have watched in amazement as President Trump declared he would be the commencement speaker at West Point in May. West Point had planned to ask him to be the speaker, but they had thought to delay the graduation ceremony until June. Mr. Trump's unexpected announcement, that he would be the commencement speaker on May 15, caught West Point unawares. I believe they are totally flummoxed by this announcement, which was made after Vice President Pence spoke at the Air Force Academy graduation this month. The president is doing this to benefit his own political progress towards re-election, not to honor the cadets or West Point. He is determined to have more attention directed at himself and the marvelous job he is doing. It is a major diversion from the catastrophe of his lack of leadership in the COVID-19 pandemic. Tell the West Point Commandant that in order to protect the lives of the graduating cadets, their families, the people they would come into contact with in their travels to West Point and back home, and the West Point staff, the graduation ceremony should be redirected from in-person attendance by the graduating cadets to a virtual graduation. The president could still be the commencement speaker from the White House, and his speech could be broadcast nationwide. Please consider the health protections of all who would be involved in an in-person West Point graduation. This must be stopped!

Because Senator Sanders is still on the New York ballot and no institution should ever get away with spitting in the face of democracy, including the New York Board of Elections.
