See How Massachusetts Ranks Among The 'Best' And 'Worst' States For Women See How Massachusetts Ranks Among The 'Best' And 'Worst' States For Women
See How Massachusetts Ranks Among The 'Best' And 'Worst' States For Women In 2021, the world is still working on gender equality, meaning that even in the U.S. some places are “better” for women than others. A new study eyed gender equity and ranked the nation’s 50 states and Washington, D.C., from being the best to worst for women. Gender equality is the idea that men and women should be treated the same regardless of their sexes. This ideal has not been witnessed as of yet in metrics such as salary, leadership positions, access to health care, and violence, among other factors. In order to determine which states are the best and worst for women, WalletHub lo…

'Keep Springfield Out Of Your Mouth' - A Message To Fox's Tucker Carlson 'Keep Springfield Out Of Your Mouth' - A Message To Fox's Tucker Carlson
'Keep Springfield Out Of Your Mouth' - A Message To Fox's Tucker Carlson Springfield is now and always has been one of the toughest cities in the U.S. - but it’s doubtful Fox talkshow bro Tucker Carlson gets that. When he called the city "tough," he meant it as an insult. In late February, Carlson had the intent of using his nationally broadcast self-titled program to trash Springfield in a hair-brained effort to highlight accusations of racism at Smith College, which is about 45 minutes outside of the City of Homes. The situation at Smith in Northampton involved a Black student being asked, repeatedly by a college police officer, why she was on campus over the…

COVID-19: Who's Better At Finding Vaccine Appointments, Massachusetts Or The CDC? COVID-19: Who's Better At Finding Vaccine Appointments, Massachusetts Or The CDC?
Covid-19: Who's Better At Finding Vaccine Appointments, Massachusetts Or The CDC? The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has unveiled its own Vaccine Finder website as states scramble to get individual online COVID-19 vaccination tools running properly. The best facet of the CDC’s vaccine finder, vaccinefinder.org, maybe that it will tell visitors if a vaccine location is out of stock. The website is updated hourly. Massachusetts’ vaccine finder does not offer in-stock information. The website is updated often, but information about whether appointments are available is unreliable. On Monday, March 1, for example, the CDC found 41 vaccination sites within …

Wind Advisory Starts At 4 P.M. - Gusts Up To 50 MPH A wind advisory has been put in place for much of Massachusetts as gusts speeding faster than a car on a highway route plow across the state. March is indeed coming in “like a lion.” Let’s hope it sticks to that axiom and exits “like a lamb.” On Monday, March 1, the National Weather Service predicted wind gusts in western and central Massachusetts reaching 50 mph. The advisory is in effect from 4 p.m. today, Monday, to 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 2. Outside of some anticipated massive gusts, the regular wind speed will be 15-25 mph during the duration of the wind advisory. At 50 mph, winds …

Covid-19: Here's Why Those Who Wear Glasses Are Much Less Likely To Get Virus, Researchers Say New research suggests that a common accessory that is already worn by millions of people can make the wearer three times less likely to catch COVID-19. While face masks have been found to reduce the risk of catching or spreading COVID-19 through the mouth and nose, not much research has been done on how to keep the virus from entering via people’s eyes. However, a recent study found that people who wear glasses at least 8 hours a day are two to three times less likely to catch COVID-19 than people who are not wearing them. The same level of protection applies to people who wear sunglasses …
