She built this city, and you can, too

Josephine “JoJo” Morales is a journeyman with the New York City District Council of Carpenters. She’s currently working for X-Cell on New York Presbyterian’s Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns, a Nontraditional Employment for Women (NEW) Signature Project managed by Turner Construction Company. One of her favorite things to do when she’s out in the city with friends and family is to point out all the buildings she’s had a hand in completing.

"They never made me feel like I was a burden." An American woman's experience doing IVF in Greece

The first time Sheena Pesce traveled alone outside the country, she was headed to Greece for three weeks. It was the summer of 2021, and what she wanted most was to continue growing her family. Although she had spent the months beforehand speaking with the fertility clinic in Thessaloniki and had all of her many questions answered, she was still a little nervous.\

A better mattress means better sleep

You can avoid caffeine, get plenty of exercise and drink a gallon of chamomile tea every night, but short of paying off your student loans, there isn’t much that will make you sleep more soundly than finding the right mattress.

So, why is it that many of us spend so much time suffering in sleepless silence when we know the only tossing and turning we should be doing entails shoving the wrong mattress out of our lives?

Finding Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale's famous canals have earned it the moniker of "The Venice of America." Year-round, on any given morning, you can see the fortunate who get to live and visit here out on their paddleboards, jet skis, yachts and whalers. Then there is the city's Spring Break alter ego -- Fort Liquordale--which is built on a reputation of bikinis, bleach blond hair, buff bods and a whole lot of partying, most likely due to the 1960s coming-of-age film Where the Boys Are. When I moved here nearly seven years ago, it was the latter I had imagined. However, what I discovered was a city with a rich history, a strong connection to the water and a growing arts and tech community.

RAY LAMONTAGNE

Ray LaMontagne croons in raspy echoes over dreamy drumbeats and electric guitar along with haunting background vocals on Ouroboros. His sixth album travels even further into the expansive, introspective psychedelic universe of the 70s than 2014’s Supernova.

It was 2004’s title track “Trouble” that put LaMontagne on my radar. He followed up with 2008’s Gossip in the Grain and 2010’s God Willin’ the Creek Don’t Rise. The albums were acoustic-guitar-harmonica-laden American folk rock, giving us a

NEW ORDER

Some of us bore witness to the emergence of New Order in mid-80s dance clubs. Some of us (like this writer) were born the year “Blue Monday” was released to become the biggest-selling 12-inch single of all time. For the latter, we might have been introduced in a backward kind of way by unwittingly bearing witness to the indisputable influence of New Order through bands from Radiohead to LCD Soundsystem to Santigold and La Roux (whose vocals appear on three tracks from Music Complete, the band’s

Mancave, Psychomagic, Snakehole

Lake Worth gallerist and artist Jacques de Beaufort pays homage to 42 artist/musician/creative friends in the portrait series Deep Inside the Man Cave. The series was sparked by the offer of a friend to do a portrait of Beaufort himself. After having spent several years showing the work of others in his former gallery space UNIT1, he felt it was time to start creating again and found inspiration in the creative people with whom he spends much of his time.

The series celebrates the Lake Worth ar

NEWT Miami

Synesthetes experience a neurological phenomena in which stimulation of one sense triggers the simultaneous experience of another. Chromesthesia is a kind of synesthesia where one experiences sounds as colors or colors as sounds. If you’re in Miami during the first week of November, you may be able to know what this feels like when NEWT takes over the Intercontinental Miami building with a public art project integrating light, color, and sound.

From several vantage points, people will be able t
