I'm sure it was fun for the people who went, but between the honking, the flames and whatever that music is, it looks and sounds like a living hell to me. But I recognize I'm not the target market, and I hope this helps attendees blow off steam. Full Article
vi Dutch Restaurant's Social Distancing Techniques: Individual Dining Greenhouses, Food Served on Long Planks By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Dutch restaurant ETEN, which is part of Amsterdam's Mediamatic Arts Centre, is trialing an innovative approach to social-distancing dining.

vi Ask yourself these questions to decide if it's safe to visit your mom on Mother's Day By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 11:00:00 -0400 GagliardiPhotography/Shutterstock As spring passes by under lockdown, many Americans are wondering if it's safe to visit their mom for Mother's Day this year. Claudia Finkelstein, a doctor and associate professor of family medicine at Michigan State University, says that if either you or your parent have a chronic illness, are over the age of 65, or live in an urban area, it's unwise to plan an in-person visit. If you are able to visit your mother, however, try to meet outdoors and avoid physical contact — which may be challenging if you have children. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. As a physician, mother, daughter, and socially responsible human, I'm finding Mother's Day to be complicated for me this year, as it is for millions. Questions of whether and how to see my adult children and my own elderly mother present medical and ethical quandaries. As an associate professor of family medicine with a focus on wellness, as Mother's Day approaches, I'd like to share with you my thinking about this using some tools to aid discernment. Wouldn't it be great if choosing time with parents or offspring were ever an easy decision to make? However, the answer is rarely that simple. This year, in the midst of a global pandemic and the need to continue to practice social distancing, the decision is even more complex than usual.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: A cleaning expert reveals her 3-step method for cleaning your entire home quicklySee Also:Scott Galloway: Amazon can and should offer all of its Prime members COVID-19 testing 'at a scale and efficiency that makes America feel like South Korea — competent'14 countries that are paying their workers during quarantine — and how they compare to America's $1,200 stimulus checksThis is the most common zodiac sign among the world's richest billionairesSEE ALSO: 5 ways for parents to motivate their kids and avoid tantrums at home during the coronavirus, according to a parenting expert READ MORE: There's such a thing as having a 'social allergy' to someone you dislike.
