Westville Fire photo Julio Irizarry Fuentes and Emmanuel Nieves are both Spanish-speaking volunteers at Westville Fire Department. “Having a firefighter on a call that can speak Spanish helps everyone understand the person and the situation that they are going into,” said Nieves. He has answered a few calls where the person who needed assistance only spoke Spanish. When Spanish is the only language someone speaks, Nieves and Irizarry Fuentes say this can cause problems on calls when first responders don’t know Spanish. If there is language-barrier, it takes longer to understand what is going on during an emergency, where every second counts. “We’re living in a country with a variety of different languages from all over the world,” said Irizarry Fuentes. “It would be great to have bilingual volunteers who can communicate with people who speak the same language during an emergency.” According to the 2020 Census, 13.61% of residents...

image provided David Schollenberger, a partner at Healys and the head of its Gaming and Leisure division, has critically analyzed and compared the contemporary regulatory landscape for fantasy sports in both the US and the UK. He strongly advocates for the US to follow the UK's regulatory model, which is administered by a seasoned gaming authority. Online fantasy sports competitions for real money, provided by companies like DraftKings and FanDuel, have gained significant traction in the US and are gradually being introduced in the UK. In online fantasy sports, participants pay an entry fee to draft a team of players and accumulate points based on these players' actual performances in real-world games.

Newswise — New Yorkers can apparently breathe a sigh of relief, at least for now. Their exposure to the smoke in June 2023 from Canadian wildfires led to only a slightly higher bump in visits to New York City hospital emergency departments for breathing problems or asthma attacks than what is seen on days when pollen counts are high. However, authors of a new study say other possible health effects, such as possible heart attacks and stroke, still need to be investigated. For the study, researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine analyzed daily levels of air pollution, as measured by the presence of tiny particles known as particulate matter 2.5, which can if lodged deep in the lungs lead to inflammation, as well as respiratory and heart problems. When researchers assessed air pollution levels for the first six months of 2023, including months of regular ambient (or general background)... Read more →
