While candlepin’s glory days are yet to return, younger alley owners are making their way into the space, revitalizing older bowling centers and planning new ones, inspiring hope the Worcester-born pastime will live on for future generations.

JAMA Today: COVID-19 doubles the risk of children developing Type 1 diabetes.
jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
ALT The study includes comparisons of pre v post pandemic onset, as well as pandemic-era C19+ v C19- children. Estimates are larger for the 1st comparison (12.1 v 6.4 kids per 100 person years) than 2nd (14.0 v 8.6), likely because of under-diagnosis of C19, i.e., the "controls" in the pandemic era often also had undiagnosed Covid. No way of knowing the impact of repeat infections, e.g., whether the risk is mainly on the 1st infection, 2nd, 3rd, etc., increases cumulatively, or what.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month
Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health

I also really want us as educators who presumably care about the children in front of us to consider what we are doing when we insist on using something that is using the energy output of entire countries given how that further endangers those same children’s future.

It is fair to say that renters are not represented on the Worcester City Council.
I mean, when you have people literally die, and the Council’s response is “this basic provision done by many other cities is too hard,” I don’t know that there is another way to frame it.

Four of the councilors are landlords with rental properties in Worcester. As an owner occupied landlord of a two family building, Colorio effectively voted to exempt herself from the registry.
Moot point bc the vote was 9-2 although the actual ordinance change might need 2/3 ?

Great idea from @vote_thu here. Take some time to fill out their public city manager evaluation form ahead of the council evaluation coming up in a few weeks! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
