Ferida Wolff's Backyard: Bee-side Our Window
Ferida Wolff Ponders: "Well, the bushes are beginning to flower again and Bebe is back! It seems to have even more energy than last year. It is there when I open the door but it isn’t threatening. It keeps its distance as I watch it discourage any other bees that seem interested in the bushes. The strange thing is that I don’t see any nest in the bushes. What is it protecting?"

Jo Freeman Reviews Shirley Chisholm, Champion of Black Feminist Power Politics
"Best known for her 1972 campaign for President, where she received over 400,000 votes in multiple primaries, she always represented the views of her constituents in Brooklyn – poor, Black and disadvantaged. Neither the first woman to run for President nor the only woman to run that year, her campaign was highly publicized at a time when the emerging women’s liberation movement was making waves. It put her into the history books." more »
Deep Sleep May Mitigate Alzheimer’s Memory Loss, Berkeley University Research Shows
"Deep sleep, also known as non-REM slow-wave sleep, can act as a “cognitive reserve factor” that may increase resilience against a protein in the brain called beta-amyloid that is linked to memory loss caused by dementia. Disrupted sleep has previously been associated with faster accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain. However, the new research from a team at UC Berkeley reveals that superior amounts of deep, slow-wave sleep can act as a protective factor against memory decline in those with existing high amounts of Alzheimer’s disease pathology — a potentially significant advance that experts say could help alleviate some of dementia’s most devastating outcomes." more »
IRS: Going Green Could Help Taxpayers Qualify for Expanded Home Energy Tax Credits
What taxpayers need to know: Taxpayers can claim the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit and the Residential Clean Energy Credit for the year the qualifying expenditures are made. Homeowners who improve their primary residence will find the most opportunities to claim a credit for qualifying expenses. Renters may also be able to claim credits, as well as owners of second homes used as residences. Landlords cannot claim this credit. IRS encourages taxpayers to review all requirements and qualifications at IRS.gov/HomeEnergy for energy efficient equipment prior to purchasing. Additional information is also available on energy.gov, which compares the credit amounts for tax year 2022 and tax year 2023. When it is time to file a tax return, taxpayers can use Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits, to claim the credit. more »
