Must-See Lineup at Morongo
Morongo Casino Resort & Spa – Three superstar groups who led the pop and hip-hop genres during the 1980s will bring their timeless hits to the Morongo Grand Ballroom on September 22 – Lisa Lisa, C+C Music Factory, and Digital Underground. Having impacted American culture and defined an era of pop and hip-hop, Lisa Lisa, C+C Music Factory, and Digital Underground possess distinct sounds that are all uniquely 80s with heavy synthesizers, drum machines, and backup vocals.
“The lineup of Lisa Lisa, C+C Music Factory, and Digital Underground will be nothing short of amazing and a must-see for anyone who can’t get enough 80s nostalgia,” said Simon Farmer, Morongo’s Executive Director of Marketing. “There’s just too much history and talent to miss this show – it’s going to

C+C Music Factory is known for the timeless hits “Gonna to Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now),” “Here We Go (Let’s Rock & Roll),” “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…,” and “Just a Touch of Love.” The group has accumulated five Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards, and two MTV Music Awards. They have also been appropriately characterized by Billboard as one of the most successful dance groups ever.

Long lost recordings featuring The Smithereens, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Lions & Ghosts are back in 2022 and serve as the perfect opportunity to rediscover three amazing American bands.

A study from the registry published in “Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology” found new-onset atrial fibrillation in 1 in 20 patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Research also found that people hospitalized with COVID-19 had a higher risk of stroke than those with similar infectious conditions such as influenza or sepsis.

“Getting an annual flu shot should be part of routine health care for all individuals. Especially for people who are already living with chronic health conditions that put them at higher risk for heart attacks or strokes,” said Eduardo Sanchez, M.D., M.P.H., FAHA, American Heart Association chief medical officer for prevention. “The potentially serious complications of the flu are far greater for those with chronic diseases. This is true not just for older people but even those age 50 and younger with a history of high blood pressure, heart disease or onsetCOVID-19diabetes.”-Attheofthepandemic, the American Heart Association established the COVID-19 Cardiovascular Disease Registry, which found that people with or at risk for CVD were more likely to become infected with and die from COVID-19. Additionally, the research found that many people experience heart and vascular disease after getting COVID-19.
A study published in “Stroke” found that, among a group of people hospitalized for various reasons, those who experienced a flu-like illness within a month of their hospitalization were 38% more likely to have a stroke. However, receiving the flu vaccine a year before hospitalization lowered a person’s stroke risk to 11%.
vaccination protects against a common cause of severe pneumonia and is especially important for people 65 and older and others with certain underlying medical conditions. This pneumonia can be deadly, especially for people at high risk for health complications, including CVD. One shot is usually good for several years, although you may need a second one later, depending on your age at your first shot.

Dear Mr. Richardson: Can the general counsel of an HOA represent one HOA member against another HOA member on a personal matter, unrelated to the rules, regulations or CC&Rs of that HOA? In doing so, the attorney utilized information and witness testimony from the management company which arguably would not have been available for other community members. R.S., Rancho Mirage.

Bluntly, that is where the ethical rubber meets the road, and most reputable companies recognize that and do not hold it against the attorney. Sometimes, if the HOA is sued along with its manager or directors, the HOA’s attorney will defend them along with the HOA. However, aside from those situations, the HOA attorney should only represent and advise the HOA. Best, Kelly.

Dear H.S.: Is this HOA forgetting that the purpose of a town hall meeting is to answer questions, take suggestions, and gain member support for the documents? Without the lawyer answering questions, how do the members obtain any confidence in voting for the proposed documents? As to the “privilege” claim, I disagree – you are members and the lawyer is not advising you each individually but is explaining the rationale as to how the draft new governing documents

Realize the beginnings of your relationships and their original value. Can you remember these again? What seems so far away is usually what is closest by. Love awaits always.
You all have spiritual work to accomplish though perhaps not to be in the same geographical region. A new awareness of needed resources emerges.
Turn toward your religious or spiritual roots, studying the teachings as guidelines that illumine and make sturdy your inner and outer life. This may sound old fashioned. However, major planets are traveling through that sector of your life now and these planets provide safety, order and direction. Another choice is to enter into a state of reflection, contemplation, solitude and seclusion. Accompany these with religious music and good food.

Make contact with the elements, the devas in the plant kingdom, the most balancing of kingdoms.

Who Does the HOA Attorney Represent?
Dear Richardson:Mr.
Does the HOA attorney represent the board or the HOA? If there is a conflict in different CC&Rs sections regarding HOA or homeowner’s responsibility to maintain an item and the HOA attorney is consulted who is their client? P.G., Huntington Beach.
HOA, not the board or the president, although the HOA speaks and acts through its board. HOA attorneys should not be simultaneously advising the HOA and individual HOA members, the management company, or any entities doing business with the HOA. The HOA’s lawyer should be able to be completely loyal to the HOA at all times. When the occasional dispute arises between the HOA and its management, the lawyer must only consider the HOA’s interests, even though they know many of their client referrals come from managers.
The draft documents were boilerplate and half of the items added were not applicable to our type of building or not applicable to our HOA. During the ‘Town Meeting’ it was obvious that the board was surprised and questioned why the attorney had included the irrelevant sections.

Your deepest desires come forth and although directed at others, the reality is the desire to know the self, to create a new image that better defines you, and the need for partnership between your emotions, intellect, body and Soul.

A boy wizard once went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. Instead, this is the story of the Puffs... who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. This clever and inventive play “never goes more than a minute without a laugh,” giving audiences a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school that proves very dangerous for children.

AFib impacts nearly 40 million people worldwide, according to research published in the “International Journal of Stroke,” including 6 million people in the United States alone. Despite its prevalence, many people are unfamiliar with the symptoms, available treatment options and importance of early treatment to avoid disease progression or other life-threatening complications such as a stroke.
About 1 in 4 adults over the age of 40 are at risk of developing AFib. The causes are wide-ranging and include non-modifiable and lifestyle factors. Some non-modifiable risk factors include age, family history and a heart disease diagnosis. Making lifestyle changes to control factors such as obesity, smoking and sleep apnea may help lower your risk. Limiting alcohol and caffeine consumption and controlling your stress can also reduce your risk and may help manage AFib episodes.
More than a quarter of adults living with AFib have fears and anxiety about the progressive nature of the disease, according to a survey conducted by Biosense Webster, Inc., part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech. However, a quarter of patients did not get treatment immediately after diagnosis and 44% of patients have ended up in the emergency room due to their condition.

2. What are the benefits and risks of a catheter ablation procedure?

AFib is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm. It occurs when the upper chambers of the heart, called the atria, beat rapidly or in an uncontrolled manner. AFib can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including heart palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty exercising, anxiety, chest pain and dizziness.

3. Can I take this medication with the other medicines I’m already taking?
SAN JOSE – Alongside state and local leaders and Californians impacted by mental illness. Governor Gavin Newsom today signed legislation enacting CARE Court, a paradigm shift that will provide individuals with severe mental health and substance use disorders the care and services they need to get healthy.
For most AFib patients, treatment begins with medication. Medications can be used for controlling your heart rate, rhythm and blood thickness, but about half of patients don’t respond to or can’t tolerate medications. Catheter ablation is a procedure to restore the heart’s incorrect electrical signals that cause an abnormal heart rhythm. It is recommended by the American College of Cardiology, the Heart Rhythm Society and the American Heart Association for patients when medication proves to be unsuccessful.

Decorate with safety in mind. Festive decorations help set the mood, but they can also create health risks for your pet. While nontoxic, pumpkin and pumpkin seeds can upset stomachs, especially when consumed in large quantities. Lit candles in Jack-O-Lanterns may pose fire hazards if toppled by a curious four-legged friend. Decorative lights can brighten your porch but should be kept out of your pet’s reach as nibbling on electrical cords can cause electrocution.
tight can restrict breathing and make movement difficult. In addition, make sure your pet’s costume does not interfere with vision or hearing. Also, beware of small parts, like buttons or loose strings, that could be chewed off and swallowed.
Even if your pets are mellow and enjoy greeting guests, consider keeping them inside as you sit by yourself near the door or outside to greet trickor-treaters as they knock or ring the doorbell. Otherwise, consider keeping your pet in a room away from the frenzy with a TV, radio, or white noise machine to dull the sounds.
Keep treats away from pets. Resist the temptation to share Halloween candy with your pet. Keep all candy safely out of reach. Chocolate, candy, or gum artificially sweetened with xylitol can be dangerous for dogs. Plus, cellophane or foil wrappers can cause problems if swallowed. Even natural treats like caramel apples should be off-limits as eating items not generally on the menu can cause upset stomachs, GI blockages, or pancreatitis.

Five Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe This Halloween
To help ensure Halloween is fun for every family member, take note of these safety tips from the experts at VCA Animal Hospitals, which has more than 1,000 locations across North America that cared for more than 4.5 million pets last year.

Costumes and candy make Halloween a highly anticipated event for children and adults alike, but the holiday can be particularly spooky for pets. The same things that bring humans joy on All Hallows Eve can lead to poisoning, stress, or anxiety, which may cause fourlegged family members to run away or react aggressively.
Extra people can throw off pets on the street or at the door in frightening costumes, leading to uncommon reactions such as growling or biting if they feel threatened.
