Music and dance research has opened up different points of view on the health benefits that physical exercise, such as dancing, can lead to when practiced. One of the biggest topics that we cover is music. Some readers might consider music coverage 'fluff' or 'infotainment.' I find that music is a vital part to living a healthy and happy life. Dance and physical exercise are ways to keep your body in tune, flexible and adaptable. It is important to balance and treat our minds, body and spirit. NPR's social science correspondent Shankar Vedantam goes over some of the benefits connected

Amazon, the Seattle-based technology company, steamrolls through the negativity of the past election, right through climate change, and arrives in Virgina to change the world with five new solar farms. When Amazon created two wind farms in Ohio, I was excited, but to see them work directly with the eastern seaboard is an exciting piece of progression behind the clean energy movement. This level of progression is summerized by Amazon and Business Wire: 'By supporting 260MW of solar generation capacity in Virginia, Amazonbecomes the largest corporate backer of solar projects east of the Mississippi River.'  They also spoke with Governor
