BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

As if the country needed one more battleground: those who eat doughnuts v. those who pump iron is taking on the controversial COVID-19 vaccine issue.

Spurred by Krispy Kreme’s recent pledge to award those who get vaccinated with a free Original Glaze, Ian Smith, co-owner of The Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, tweeted this:

“In light of @krispykreme giving free donuts for receiving the CVD shot, here at @TheAtilisGym we are giving out free memberships to all who don’t get vaccinated. We believe in health - the real way - exercise, good diet, plenty of Vitamin D, Zinc, and an environment to destress.”

According to Forbes magazine, Mr. Smith’s latest move is not his first attack against public health recommendations: his gym made headlines last spring when they tried to stay open in defiance of Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive orders to remain closed in light of a surge in COVID-19 cases.
