A guide to nerd-approved bars, comic shops and arcades Elizabeth Montgomery and Priscilla Totiyapungprasert Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

We’ve all got at least a little bit of geek or nerd inside of us, and nothing brings it out quite like Phoenix Fan Fusion, which is returning to the Phoenix Convention Center on May 27. The May 27-29 convention, described on its website as “your local, fan- and geek-driven, large-scale, multi-genre, pop-culture convention,” was formerly known as Phoenix Comicon and Phoenix Comic Fest. For geeks, there’s nothing better than being surrounded by people or environments with similar passions and interests in movies, games and comic books. So after a fun ﬁ lled day of seeing your favorite characters, authors and actors, we suggest heading to one of these nerdy sanctuaries around metro Phoenix. Some serve alcohol, because it’s fun to drink a little while playing a vintage Sega Genesis, while others are great for sipping an espresso while perusing comic books or learning to play tabletop games with fellow adventurers. From shops to bars to gaming destinations, these are the best, geek-approved places in the Valley.

PHOENIX Cobra Arcade Bar The bar has 40 arcade games — from Marvel vs. Capcom and Galaga to Donkey Kong and Mortal Kombat — each costing 25 cents to $1 a play — and a bar menu with video game-inspired cocktails like Inky’s Drinky. Cobra Arcade Bar is a 21-and-up bar located in downtown Phoenix open late nights and weekends. Details: 801 N. Second St., #100, Phoenix. 602-5955873, cobraarcadebar.com, facebook.com/cobraarcade.

Hi-Score Club A few doors down from Cobra Arcade Bar is HiScore Club, an anime-themed bar that features imported arcade games and manga artwork by local artists. Hi-Score Club has drinks named after iconic anime characters including “Bebop,” “Chi-Chi” and “Master Roshi.” The venue opens at 7 p.m. and features local DJs beginning at 9 p.m. Details: 801 N. Second St., No. 108, Phoenix. 602595-5873, cobraarcadebar.com/high-score-menu/, instagram.com/hi_score_club.

Q: I’ve been following your guidelines for restricted eating times and improved nutrition, and have lost 12 pounds in the past six months. Now I see that a new study declares that time-restricted eating doesn’t help with weight loss. So is it smart to restrict the time I eat or not? – David M., New York A: Where to start? Both groups in the Chinese study published in the New England Journal of Medicine ate the same signifi cantly reduced amount of calories daily. That means the researchers eliminated the possibility of discovering if time-restricted eating may, in real-life situations, reduce the amount of food people eat – and therefore lead to increased weight loss. The study only followed 139 obese people, and while everyone cut their calorie intake by 25%, the time-restricted group was allowed to eat only during an eight-hour window. There is some indication that folks who usually have breakfast at 7 a.m. and dinner at 8 p.m. (not uncommon in the U.S.) may get more benefi t from time-restricted eating than the folks in the study did, who in their pre-study lives ate during a 10.3hour window. And then there’s the fact that, although the diff erence wasn’t huge, the calorie plus time-restricted folks did

699

lose more weight than the calorie-restricted-only group. Plus, insulin resistance, triglyceride levels and high blood pressure were more improved in the double-restricted group. The real conclusion to be drawn from this study is that combining time and calorie restrictions is safe and eff ective and it’s a helpful way to achieve a healthy weight and a healthier metabolic profi le that’s likely to let you live younger longer. Regaining your health isn’t just about cutting calories and eating in a narrow timeframe. It’s also about improving the quality of your nutrition. That’s why my book is called “What to Eat When.” It offers a smart way to incorporate tasty nutrition into a weight-loss plan that has you eat fewer calories during fewer hours a day. Q: Why does my doctor say that exercise will help me avoid diabetes-related heart disease? I thought it just came along with Type 2 diabetes, and there was nothing I could do about it. – Richard F., Santa Fe, New Mexico A: It’s true that heart disease is the No. 1 complication of diabetes. Excess blood glucose causes bodywide infl ammation and damages the circulatory system. That puts you at an increased risk for stroke, heart attack, peripheral artery disease, dementia, aging skin, a lousy sex life and more. Elevated gluSee ROIZEN, Page 23

Fixing communication with an Ivy League graduate Ask Linda Linda Cohen Guest columnist

Dear Linda, My older grandson has just completed his BA at an Ivy League school back east. He graduated summa cum laude. He has a job lined up in New York City in ﬁ nance in the not-for-proﬁ t sector. I am so proud of him as are the rest of the family. The problem is that this young man has always been kind and considerate to everyone, and for the past year has become distant from family and not very communicative with texting or phoning. When we do speak, very infrequently, we have wonderful conversations that are both casual and deep.

Mesa 4360 E Main St #103 (480) 325-2500

We always say that we need to be in touch more often, but somehow this doesn’t happen. I do reach out once a week but I don’t put pressure on him in any way. I feel disappointed when there isn’t a response. One family member went so far as to say he is “spoiled and egotistical”. I sent him a beautiful note with a generous check for his graduation and have not received any thanks. This must have been received because it was over three weeks ago. What do you think is the problem and how should I handle it? Growing up we have had a very close relationship and I’m afraid if I call him on his actions it will promote even more distancing. —Proud but Hurt Dear PBH, I don’t blame you for feeling hurt and disrespected. It sounds to me that your grandson is feeling a bit full of

Scottsdale 8698 E Raintree Dr #107 (480) 991-9913

himself right now. He attended an elite, competitive school and did extremely well. But in that setting, there are many brilliant students and for some, it may be something of an ego trip that can often produce an elitist attitude. Yet, he is going to work in an area that will benefi t society globally. That is a bit of a dichotomy. I’m going to say his behavior may refl ect some self-involvement, often normal at his stage of life, and even some immaturity. Will he change? Probably, once he works in the real world and not the academic one. So, where does that leave you? You can calmly talk about it with him, but make sure you just point out how you miss conversations. It might be a start in allowing him to think about how he has been coming across to others. I would defi nitely say something about not acknowledging your

gift if for no other reason than to make sure it didn’t get lost in the mail. I have a feeling that this is more of a phase and will right itself with time and maturity.

Workers’ rights as businesses return back to the oﬃ ce Employment Law Joshua C. Black Guest Columnist

It’s been more than two years since the COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of employees to begin working remotely. Now, businesses across the country are doing what they can to convince staff it’s time to return to the offi ce for good. While there is a contingent of workers eager to get back to the workplace and a sense of normalcy after the lockdown, there also is a large part of the working population who are resistant to giving up the benefi ts and convenience of working from home.

Can an employee refuse to return to in-person work? Arizona is considered an “at-will” employment state meaning that absent a

needed accommodation, employers are generally free to decide where and how employees will perform their work. If a company demands an employee return to the offi ce there is a high likelihood this mandate will stand. However, an employee may have recourse if they have a medical condition or disability that would be negatively impacted by the return. If an employee would like to keep working from home, they should fi rst consider whether they have a legally protected right to do so (such as a disability or other accommodatable special needs). If the main reason for wanting to continue working from home is not health-related, an employee's best option is to communicate with their employer. They should discuss their desires to continue to work remotely and how such an arrangement will benefi t the company. Employees should focus on ways their essential job duties can be successfully accomplished from home and benefi t the employer and the business.

Can an employer legally fi re a staff member if they refuse to return to the office? Yes. If the staff member does not have a legally protected reason for refusing to return to the workplace, an employer is likely within its legal rights to terminate the employment relationship. If the employee is fi red for refusing to return to the offi ce without a valid legal excuse for the refusal, the employee would most likely be ineligible for unemployment benefi ts.

What exceptions or modifi cations can be made for work-from-home requests? The sky is the limit. When it comes to what is possible, it all depends on the employer and employee coming to a mutually benefi cial agreement about working remotely and fi nding an option to both meet the needs of the company and the desires of the employee.

Can a business mandate employees returning to the office be vaccinated and/or wear face masks? As the return to in-person work continues, businesses can require employees to be vaccinated against COVID. Businesses can also require employees to wear masks. Both of these mandates are subject to religious or health accommodations. If an employee feels returning to the workplace is unsafe there may be some legal recourse. Employees can make a whistleblower complaint to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) directly and the agency will investigate the potentially unsafe working conditions. Joshua C.

U.S. Marine Corps veteran finds the love of art after a stroke Veterans’ Voice Paula Pedene Guest columnist

Cedric Wyaco is a 54-year-old veteran who joined the Marine Corps right out of high school in 1985. Wanting to go to college but not receiving any scholarships, Wyaco heard about the GI Bill and completed the challenge with six years of service. After his discharge, he met his wife Cassandra Herrera, and they moved to Phoenix. Then tragedy hit when Wyaco suﬀ ered a stroke in 2013. At that point, he needed a higher level of daily care, and Wyaco became a member of Oakwood Creative Care. "I've enjoyed my time here, and it's been great. I've met many good people, and many good teachers are doing their best to help us out," said Wyaco.

One person who stands out to Wyaco is his declared "hero," Annie Naugle. As a nurse at Oakwood's Town Center location, Naugle was the ﬁ rst person Wyaco met at Oakwood, and she helped him get through the most challenging parts of the COVID-19 pandemic when he lost several family members. Now, Wyaco enjoys painting landscapes, and some of his paintings are on display in the homes and oﬃ ces of people in the Oakwood community. "I never even touched a paintbrush before. Now here I am. I like to draw; I like to paint. It's like a new hobby for me," said Wyaco. Wyaco was a Motor Transport Driver in the Corps, and he used his GI Bill to attend both the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, and the University of California Irvine. He was trained in information technology and computer networks, and he went on to become an IT director for schools

Wyaco was a Motor Transport Driver in the Corps, and he used his GI Bill to attend both the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, and the University of California Irvine. He was trained in information technology and computer networks, and he went on to become an IT director for schools throughout his 17-year career. Now he says painting helps jog his long-term memory.

throughout his 17-year career. Now he says painting helps jog his long-term memory. "I can use my mind a lot more, and I often have memories come back to me while painting familiar things from my past, like landscapes and homes. During my career, I used to run technical wires for phones, computers, faxes, etc., in the entire building, and I always felt like this kept my mind very busy. After the stroke, I felt like I lost that busy mind, but painting has brought that back for me," he said. He's met several other veterans at Oakwood and says he is proud to share his military service.

"I met so many brothers and sisters in the Marine Corps. When you swear an oath to defend and protect your country, you want to protect it until the end, which takes hard work and strength," he added. Oakwood Creative Care is a nonproﬁ t organization that provides care to seniors, veterans, and those with various age-related physical and cognitive challenges. You can learn more about them online at oakwoodcreativecare.org. Paula Pedene is the author of "A Sacred Duty, How a Whistleblower Took on the VA and Won."

RECHARGEABLE

RESTAURANTS INSPECTIONS Maricopa County inspectors cited four Phoenix area restaurants for four priority violations the week of May 2. A priority violation is a major violation that directly contributes to an increased risk of food-borne illness or injury. If listed in the reports, remedies implemented during the inspection visits are included. At the bottom, see a sampling of the many restaurants graded as an "A" for no violation.

Digital Hearing Aid

How can a rechargeable hearing aid that costs only $29999 be every bit as good as one that sells for $2,400 or more?

The answer: Although tremendous strides have been made in Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now... The MDHearingAid® VOLT+ uses the same kind of technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price. Over 600,000 satisfed MDHearingAid customers agree: High-quality, FDAregistered rechargeable hearing aids don’t have to cost a fortune. MDHearingAid is a medical-grade, digital, rechargeable hearing aid offering sophistication and high performance; and works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” appointments. Now that you know... why pay more?

Monkeypox: Here’s what Arizonans need to know Melina Walling Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

No cases have yet been detected in Arizona, but scientists are keeping an eye on monkeypox, a viral disease related to smallpox that has recently been found spreading in North America, Europe and Australia. A traveler returning to the United Kingdom from Nigeria was found to have the disease in early May, and since then, other cases have been observed in Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Canada and several other countries. A Massachusetts man was confi rmed to have the disease this week, and health offi cials are investigating another suspected case in New York. The World Health Organization on Friday called an emergency meeting to discuss the outbreak. While researchers have studied monkeypox for decades, some are surprised to see the appearance of the disease in so many diff erent locations. “This is a really interesting outbreak.

We know quite a bit about monkeypox, but we clearly don’t know everything,” said David Engelthaler, director of the pathogen and microbiome division at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), a nonproﬁ t organization focused on bioscience and biomedical applications. “In this particular case, we’ve never really seen … one outbreak really being connected to multiple continents.” Koenraad Van Doorslaer, an assistant professor at the University of Arizona who teaches virology, said that while the less-than-localized outbreaks are somewhat unusual, he doesn’t think monkeypox would have captured the public’s attention in the same way if not for the COVID-19 pandemic. “I can’t help but feel that if it wasn’t for COVID and the public being somewhat on edge,” he said, “it would have been a fairly niche thing for some biologists to to be worried about, but I doubt that it would have made as much of an impact.”

Even as a virologist, he doesn’t see much cause for concern just yet. “Certainly at this point, I don’t think panicking is the right thing. I think we are in a heightened state because of SARSCoV-2, and I think that’s making everybody a little bit more on edge,” he said, noting that we are already armed with testing, vaccination and treatment resources against the virus. Here’s what the science tells us so far about the monkeypox outbreak:

What is monkeypox? Where did it come from? Monkeypox is a disease caused by a virus closely related to the viruses that cause smallpox and cowpox. It was fi rst discovered in 1958 in colonies of monkeys kept for research, and the fi rst human case was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to the CDC. In early May 2022, the World Health Organization confi rmed a case of monkeypox in a British traveler returning

from Nigeria, where the disease is endemic. The last time the U.S. saw an outbreak was in 2003, when the CDC reported 47 conﬁ rmed and suspected cases after some people came into contact with infected pet prairie dogs housed alongside a shipment of small mammals from Ghana.

What symptoms does monkeypox cause? Monkeypox includes a characteristic rash that often begins on the face and spreads to other parts of the body. It is also sometimes preceded by a fever, swollen lymph nodes, and headaches or muscle aches. Engelthaler said it’s not a pleasant illness. Contracting it would likely result in “having a bad ﬂ u for maybe four weeks, with this pretty awful rash that will essentially keep you laid up during that period of time,” he said.

cose levels also damage the nerves in your heart muscle, making heart failure an increased risk. But you can do a lot to ease or prevent the damage. Exercise, along with smart nutrition (plant-based diet and no red or processed meats, added sugars or highly processed foods), is very eﬀ ective in reducing not only your risk for heart disease but many other complications. A new study in the journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology reveals that one moderately intense 45-minute exercise session encourages the growth of new, healthy endothelial cells lining the outer wall of blood vessels. That, in turn, allows growth of new healthy blood vessels. These are needed because diabetes not only damages blood vessels, it inhibits the growth of new ones. How does exercise do that? The simple contraction of muscles from walking

or running is enough to send submicroscopic packages of benefi cial chemicals and chemical messengers into your bloodstream that are needed by damaged cells in the lining of your blood vessels. Those goodies fi nd the needy spots and take up residence, like in-home building contractors, so your body can repair the damage that would otherwise lead to cardiac problems. So, what constitutes moderate-intensity exercise? It happens when you raise your heart rate and break a sweat. Walking fast (15-minute mile), water aerobics, biking on mostly fl at ground (10-12 mph) or doubles tennis all qualify. Enjoy! Health pioneer Michael Roizen, M.D., is chief wellness offi cer emeritus at the Cleveland Clinic and author of four No. 1 New York Times bestsellers. His next book is “The Great Age Reboot: Cracking the Longevity Code for a Younger Tomorrow.” Do you have a topic Dr. Mike should cover in a future column?

Unnecessary ﬁ les on your A Customized Shower For At-Home Luxury computer? Delete with caution Installed in just two days or less!

Ken Colburn Special to Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

QUESTION: When I do a full virus scan on my PC, the program says I have 683,000 fi les. How do I fi nd and get rid of the unnecessary fi les? ANSWER: Depending upon your setup, there are a few things you can check for to help you understand what and where fi les are stored on your computer. If you’re only thinking about the data, video and music fi les that you know exist, it’s easy to think that there are a lot of excess fi les on your computer. When you ask your security program to perform a full scan, not only will it check every single fi le on your primary hard drive, but any other storage volumes that are connected such as a USB fl ash drive or an external hard drive. A quick way to check to see if you have more than one volume in Windows is by opening the File Explorer (the icon that looks like a fi le folder) and click on "This PC." In the "Devices and drives" section, you will see a listing of the storage devices that can be accessed by your computer. If there is more than one storage device, this could be a contributing factor.

through your usage of the computer, check the "Users" folder, which represents the program settings and data fi les used by each user on your computer. If there is only one user profi le on your computer, then you can check the "Properties" of the "User" folder or open the "User" folder to check each user’s fi le counts. If there are excess user profi les, you can remove them and all of the associated data and settings by going to the "Accounts" section of the Windows Settings menu.

Windows and program fi les If it ain’t broke, don’t fi x it! Depending upon your version of Windows, a large portion of your total could be the fi les that make up the operating system alone. My computer shows nearly 250,000 fi les in the Windows 11 folder. To check for the number of fi les in your Windows folder, use the File Explorer to open your primary hard drive, then right-click on the "Windows" folder and select "Properties." This will start a process of counting the number of fi les and folders that are contained in this folder. There will also be two "Program Files" folders in the root directory of your hard drive, which contain all the fi les installed by all the programs you have installed.

User ﬁ les To see what ﬁ les you’ve generated

While it’s understandable to want to get rid of thing you don’t need, doing so without a full understanding of the impact can be disastrous. You’ll likely ﬁ nd many items that you don’t recognize, especially if you are just poking around using the "File Explorer." If you don’t know what something is, you should never delete it. If you’re getting low on storage space, then tracking down what you don’t need is prudent. One of the easiest ways to stay on top of unneeded system ﬁ les in Windows is via the "Storage Sense" feature that I discussed recently: https://bit.ly/3a59Nm1 Ken Colburn is founder and CEO of Data Doctors Computer Services, datadoctors.com.

Monkeypox Continued from Page 22

How does monkeypox spread? Humans can get monkeypox when they come into contact with an infected animal. It is spread from human to human through direct contact with bodily ﬂ uids or skin lesions. It can also spread by close contact with infected individuals, including through respiratory droplets and contaminated objects, according to the WHO. Van Doorslaer said that while the likelihood of contracting monkeypox in Arizona at this time is extremely low, if you do see anything that looks like a skin lesion, you should contact a doctor and seek medical attention. The CDC alerted doctors on Friday to be on the lookout for monkeypox skin lesions.

How severe is the disease? Is it deadly? The severity of monkeypox can depend on a person’s baseline level of health, the extent of their exposure and

which strain of the virus they are infected with. The west African strain, which is currently circulating, causes milder disease and has a lower death rate than the central African strain. Monkeypox has a “very, very low fatality rate overall, especially in places that have advanced medical care,” Engelthaler said.

shouldn’t pop out as many variants as SARS-CoV-2. “(DNA) just doesn’t accumulate change quite as easily as RNA. And so (monkeypox is) not going to accumulate mutations anywhere near what we see with, say, HIV or inﬂ uenza or even SARS,” Van Doorslaer said.

Is there a monkeypox vaccine? Is monkeypox as contagious as SARS-CoV-2? Monkeypox is not nearly as transmissible as the virus that causes SARSCoV-2. It also isn’t thought to be contagious during the incubation period, and asymptomatic infections haven’t been documented. On May 19, a team of scientists announced that they had sequenced a draft genome of the monkeypox strain currently circulating. While it’s possible that something in the virus has changed since previous outbreaks — which, in theory, could have aﬀ ected the transmissibility or other characteristics of the virus — it will take scientists a bit longer to puzzle that out using genetic data, Van Doorslaer said. Monkeypox is a diﬀ erent kind of virus than the novel coronavirus — its genetic material is DNA, not RNA — so it

Yes, and the smallpox vaccine is also eﬀ ective against monkeypox. In what government oﬃ cials say was a routine move by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), the U.S. recently ordered 13 million doses of a vaccine called JYNNEOS, which protects against smallpox and monkeypox. “We have pretty good vaccines and we have therapeutics for this,” Van Doorslaer said. “If push comes to shove, it’s there.”

What should I do if I’m traveling someplace where monkeypox has been detected? The CDC has issued a Level 2 alert for monkeypox, meaning that travelers should practice enhanced precautions to

avoid the disease. Those precautions include avoiding close contact with sick people, including those with skin or genital lesions. In addition, travelers should minimize exposure to dead animals and steer clear of eating meat from wild game (bushmeat) or using products derived from wild animals from Africa.

Will monkeypox cause another pandemic? Engelthaler said he sees little evidence that monkeypox will take oﬀ the way the COVID-19 pandemic has. “The type of spread has been pretty limited. So far, we’re not seeing fatalities. And so based (on) that knowledge, we would not have a high degree of concern that this would become another epidemic or pandemic,” he said. Van Doorslaer agrees that the likelihood of monkeypox causing another pandemic is small. “Theoretically everything’s possible, but it’s really not something that I’m concerned about,” he said. Still, Engelthaler said monkeypox serves as a reminder that other viruses besides the coronavirus can aﬀ ect human lives.
