Numerous reviews I've read claim that grandparents can't have drop-in access. It took some work, but I managed to pull this off. I put up zoom on this device first. I then created a brand-new Zoom account for this device alone, complete with a special login and password. I used my computer to log into the account. For part of this, a computer with installed software is required. Although it's a little tedious, you can access advanced options directly by visiting the Zoom website instead of using the app. You will need to add or change contacts somewhere else because "advanced settings" and "contacts" are not located in the same place. If you are already familiar with using zoom on a computer, switching between them is simpler than using other methods. Then I went on Zoom and added both my friends' and my own accounts to the device's contact/friends list. I then had to access my computer's zoom settings, down to the advanced options at the bottom, and click that to be taken to the zoom website where I could see the advanced account settings. I employ

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.
