FORT MYERS, Fla. — Brian Peltier says he started smoking when he was just 8 years old.“I did cigars, I did tobacco. I did snuff … I did dip,” Peltier said.But he quit seven years ago. He credits vaping. Peltier says he had a few health complications before giving up smoking, but he says now his doctors are proud of his health. “Cardiologists and all of that stuff has told me that my health has gotten a lot better compared to me smoking”, he told WFTX. Now the general manager of MotoVapor in Fort Myers, Florida, he says he’s helped a couple hundred other people transition from traditional smoking to e-cigarettes. But, a new study by the 656

FULLERTON, Calif. – Graduating from college is a big deal, but it's an even bigger deal for Jack Rico. At just 13 years old, Rico has become the youngest graduate of Fullerton College in California.

Next, Rico is headed to the University of Nevada on a full-ride scholarship to get a bachelor of science degree in history. So, what does he want to do with all his degrees?"Well I mean, I’m 13, so I don't want to rush everything,” 524

Going to college can be life changing. For many students, that means studying something they enjoy, getting a degree in that subject and then chasing the American dream. But for others, pursuing a higher education can turn into a nightmare “I just felt so bad for my parents,” said college student Annalise Hoerter. “I was like, ‘they just spent so much money on me and now I have to get it back.” Hoerter attended the now defunct The Art Institute of Colorado for three-and-a-half years studying photography. With just six months shy of graduating, the school lost its accreditation and closed – costing Hoerter big bucks and causing her a whole lot of headaches “Right now, I’m in the hole for ,000,” she said. “That was definitely a dark cloud over the school.” Stories like Hoerter’s popped up across the country as several for-profit schools either lost their accreditation or shut down completely In 2016, one of the largest for-profit schools on the country, ITT Technical Institute, shut its door for good – sending some of its students into a frenzy and leaving them with massive debt. “At first, we were able to provide outreach and personalized guidance to help students to see how they might be able to transition from a for-profit college to a state institution,” said Richard Curtis of Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. The public college was one of several schools to reach out to former ITT Tech students and help them continue their education. “Our program chairs and our faculty, they worked directly with the students to help them evaluate their background so that they could get onto a new pathway,” he said. Though schools like Cincinnati State helped some students get back into school, many were still left with debt and nowhere to go. Rules for debt relief have changed with the presidential administrations. That's where organizations like the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators step in. NASFAA says it's helped more than 6,000 students at 30 closed institutions across the country apply to the department of education to get their student loans canceled.“There’s a lot of things that goes through a student’s mind when they’re informed that their school is closing down,” said Thad Spaulding, interim associate vice president of enrollment management at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Spaulding says prospective students need to do their homework before committing to any school – public or for-profit. “It’s warranted for students to do a little bit of time researching that they want to attend whether it be through studentaid.gov,” he said. Though Hoerter still carries tens of thousands of dollars of student debt, she was able to transfer to MSU Denver where she’s six months away from graduating and has accepted a job as a school photographer. For now, she says she’s working with a loan company in hopes of cutting down her Art Institute debt. “Which in the end is fantastic,” she said. “But it’s still ,000 of a degree that I’m never going to get.” 3056

GAITHERSBURG, Md. -- Under the fluorescent lights, inside a series of labs, researchers believe they may have cracked the code to create a vaccine for the new coronavirus, which has officially named COVID-19.“It’s rapidly evolving,” said Dr. Gregory Glenn, president of research and development at the Maryland-based company Novavax. “As a company, we are very invested in looking at how to protect people against infectious diseases.”Novavax is one of several pharmaceutical companies around the world, racing to develop a vaccine for the strain of the coronavirus, which recently emerged in Wuhan, China.“We have to puzzle-solve with vaccines,” Dr. Glenn said. “We think about: what do we want to have the immune response to target? Because that should block the infection and stop the illness and that’s the goal here.”He showed a three-dimensional computerized depiction of what the virus looks like.“The coronavirus – corona being ‘crown’ – has spikes,” he said. “Those spikes have a very important function. They let the virus bind to the human cell and then those spikes act as a syringe to inject genetic material into the human cell.”A vaccine would potentially stop that process, thereby protecting a person from the coronavirus.“We have the gene, we have the vaccine, we’re going to move it into animal testing shortly,” Dr. Glenn said. “Our goal is in late spring to be testing in humans.”It normally takes about 18 months to get human trials started on a vaccine. This shorter time frame is nothing new for the company; they developed an Ebola vaccine within 90 days ready for testing – but there’s a catch.It can take years for a vaccine to get approved, but under dire circumstances sometimes they can be used through something called “expanded access” or “compassionate use” – meaning, the vaccine can be used in humans, before it’s fully licensed.“That happened with Ebola – they didn’t have a licensed vaccine, but they were able to use it under ‘compassionate use,’ they developed evidence that it was working,” Dr. Glenn said.As for a fully approved coronavirus vaccine, experts say that would take longer.“A vaccine in a year would be record-setting time, but not in time to probably have much impact for this disease outbreak,” said Dr. Eric Toner with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.However, if the coronavirus sticks around or comes back stronger in a second wave of the disease, Dr. Glenn said they want to be ready.“We know time is of the essence here,” he said.So far, approximately 73,000 people have been infected and more than 1,800 people have died from the most recent strain of the coronavirus. 2653

Have you ever considered traveling alone? It can be intimidating, especially as you get older. But Leyla Alyanak, who is in her 60s, says she prefers it. “Ninety percent of the time I travel on my own, and I love it," Alyanak says. She's traveled all over the world, from Kyrgyzstan and South Korea, all by herself. Alyanak took her first solo trip when she was just 15 years old. One of her favorite perks of traveling alone is the freedom. "The freedom to decide what I want to do, when I want to do," she says. While being adventurous is exhilarating, Alyanak says there are some downsides to traveling solo.First, it can be expensive. Because you’re alone, you don’t have someone to split the costs of lodging and other exposes. Secondly, there are times were a solo traveler can experience loneliness. However, Alyanak says traveling solo does force you to meet new people. Then, there’s the issue of safety. "Yes, there is a little bit more of vulnerability but nothing you can't prepare yourself against,” she says. “All you have to do is expect things are going to be like that you just need to be a little bit more careful and watchful." If traveling solo sounds fun but you're still unsure, Alyanak recommends planning a solo trip close to where you live. When you’re ready to go abroad, choose a country where English is prevalent, like Canada, England and Ireland. "Then, they should embrace a country where the tourist infrastructure is really good, but at the same time, the language is different,” Alyanak recommends. “But enough people do speak English in places like Mexico, Italy, Spain." Once you're feeling really adventurous, try a place with a language barrier. Alyanak says your saving grace will be the smartphone app Google Translator. "Going to a country where you don't speak the language or any of the languages, that can be a little unsettling, so I’m really glad I had the app with me. It made all the difference." She says all her experiences while traveling solo has given her a newfound confidence. "Take it easy,” she says. “Take baby steps. Start small and just relish the freedom that you are going to have all on your own." Alyanak blogs about her solo adventures and gives tips to those who are thinking about traveling alone on her website 2298
