| Bitlocker Problem with Windows 11 and Why it Took Decades to Develop the First Hormone-Free Male Birth Control Pill |
| BEWARE of the Bitlocker Problem with Windows 11 by Microsoft (MS). Bitlocker Security or Recovery is a security encryption that MS installs automatically and enables on your hard drive in case someone steals your computer. But they DON’T TELL you this and if it should get triggered which they don’t explain how, you are locked out of your computer unless you have the recovery key which can cause a lot of headaches and anxiety.

| New Theories in Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease |
| Someone in the world develops dementia every 3 seconds. There are over 55 million people worldwide living with dementia in 2020. This number will almost double every 20 years, reaching 78 million in 2030 and 139 million in 2050. Much of the increase will be in developing countries, low and middle income and will increase from 60% to 71% by 2050. Research shows that most people currently living with dementia were not formally diagnosed. In high income countries, only 20-50% of dementia cases are recognized and documented in primary care. This ‘treatment gap’ is certainly greater in low and middle income countries, with one study in India suggesting 90% remain undiagnosed. The total estimated worldwide cost of dementia was US$ 818 billion in 2015, which represented 1.09% of global GDP at that time. The annual global cost of dementia is now above US$ 1.3 trillion and is expected to rise to US$ 2.8 trillion by 2030. To read more, click here. |

| Celebrating All Ethnic Groups – May is AANHPI Heritage Month |
| This whole world is in chaos. Every time I listen to the news, there is another ICE immigration raids on innocent people, near government shut downs where federal workers didn’t get paid and flights are either cancelled or delayed, the war in Iran has fueled gas price inflation to 3.8 % and will continue if the war doesn’t end, thousands of people are still getting laid off; Boston Fidelity just laid off 800 people last Friday, May 8th and the prices at the grocery store keeps going up. Trump has made the US worse in every possible way, and he still claims he is doing a good job. Who is he kidding? You’ve noticed that I have not sent out a monthly newsletter for the month of March or April to this. The good news is that May is AANHPI Heritage month which Governor Maura Healy signed into declaration on May 20, 2024. We need to celebrate AANHPI Heritage not only in the month of May but year-round. I plan to celebrate AAMHPI Heritage Month not only in May but throughout the year and everyone is invited. It’s free and open to the public. For more information on activities this month and future dates click on the table of content for Saves the Dates: Celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month and Events: May 2nd-29th, and May 21st. Future dates so far are June 29th – July 1st. More dates to come to stay tune for my newsletters. To read more, click here. |
