I already had the Portal mini, but I wanted the Go version so I could use it to do laundry, check on supper, and other things. I adore it to the core. Although I kind of wish it wasn't because I'm worried about how it will deteriorate with time, the exterior is extremely attractive. It looks like grey fabric. My power is still at 60% after numerous lengthy video conferences today—that was approximately four hours of nonstop talking. What's really essential to me is that you can still turn off your microphone and close your camera. My relatives in England want one because I have boasted about it so much, but supposedly they aren't producing any more. Therefore, don't hesitate to get it if you desire it. My kid sat at her place setting at the table over Christmas. We were on our portal go, while she was on hers. She was able to come to supper with us. It was fantastic ❤️ Far superior to using our phone. Our phones can take calls and receive texts in addition to having a larger screen. How I adore the Portal!

Initially released in 2007, this well-known Cleveland Clinic patient was a surgeon for many years, receiving the best accolades from peers. However, he decided to stop his medical career because he didn't think he was truly helping his patients. Dr. Esselstyn's book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, coauthored with his longtime colleague Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, validates the claims made in the title. The research was conducted more than 25 years ago, when he treated 17 severely ill patients with heart conditions, including those that required medication, bypass surgery, angioplasty, and attacks. Their cardiologists had given up on them because they were all in extremely poor health and there was nothing they could do. Some of them were told they would die in less than a year because their heart problems were so severe. Shazam, to borrow a phrase from Captain Marvel! They survived. In exchange for taking a low-fat plant-based diet and agreeing to participate in Dr. Esselstyn's trial, they gave up all other medications! Twelve years later, all of them were still alive, as this book relates. Possibly more

Although I must say that I was a little embarrassed not to have read this book throughout my academic career, I'm glad I did now. It has, in my opinion, totally changed how I feel about "science fiction," which I had previously mentally written off as a fantasy subgenre centered mostly on Martians. My eyes were awakened to the world of what Bradbury himself called "speculative fiction" by this book. It struck me as incredibly lyrical, prescient, and inventive. Reading this was like to having a bad dream where everything is inside out or upside down. For example, books are labeled as "enemies of the state" because they make people think, and thinking is the source of sadness. In the bizarre "fun house" of this highly imagined society, people prioritize happiness above all else. It's not fun at all to live in this "fun house," though. Here, television soap operas are literally all around the residents, exhibited life-size on the three walls of a room or on the walls themselves. They hope for a fourth wall and live their lives in vicariously via it.
