In advance of expected extreme weather from Hurricane Hilary, officials on Catalina Island — located off the coast of Southern California — are encouraging visitors and residents "that are unable to sustain without electrical power, and those with medical, access and functional needs," to leave the island Saturday. The warning was issued due "to a forecast of storm impacts and possibly prolonged SCE utility outages," a news release from the City of Avalon reads. People trying to leave the small island can depart via the Catalina Express ferry. Continued here Fatigue Can Wreck You - The Atlantic    As a medical term, fatigue seems suspiciously unspecific. Is it just the common tired we all feel, but extra? Is it more like a bad, long day? A state of mind? This lack of clarity made me assume that “fatigue” was a medical mystery and thus impossible for doctors to diagnose or treat. In this episode of Radio Atlantic, former Atlantic staff writer Ed Yong disabuses me of that idea. I was surprised to learn the medical establishment actually knows quite a bit about the mechanisms of fatigue. What often gets in the way of understanding or treating it can be based more in bias than in an absence of knowledge. As ambitious Americans, we tend to attach value to productivity. Good capitalists that we are, we can’t help ourselves. This bias forces a lot of sufferers of fatigue to hide their symptoms, or fall prey to bad medical advice that tells them to exercise or grind their way through their symptoms. As the number of people with long COVID increases, understanding fatigue, a symptom of the chronic illness, is more crucial than ever. The pandemic was a shared experience. The aftermath is lonely. Yong’s reporting aims to make it less so. Every single time I write one of these pieces, hundreds of people will write in saying that, for the first time, they have read something that actually explains their experiences that they have tried so hard to explain to doctors, to employers, to friends and family with no success. — Ed Yong Continued here You Might Like � � � � � � � � � $2 to cut a sandwich in half: The outrageous rip-offs targeting tourists in Italy | CNN - CNN    An Italian holiday may be a priceless experience for those who have enjoyed all this country has to offer. But the summer of 2023 will go down as one of the priciest in history after a slew of price gouging scandals at cafes and restaurants that have affected foreign tourists and Italians alike. Take the couple charged 2 euros ($2.20) to cut their ham sandwich in half on the shores of Lake Como, or the young mother in the Roman seaside town of Ostia charged 2 euros to have her baby's bottle heated in the microwave. A pair of tourists were charged 60 euros ($65) for two coffees and two small bottles of water at the Cervo Hotel in Sardinia, although the owner told CNN the prices were plainly listed and the charge is mostly for the view over the expensive yachts of the nearby port.
