- Arlo Wynwood’s Style & Grace Exhibition Finale
From now through May 15, Arlo Wynwood is inviting visitors for one last chance to experience Style & Grace, a public digital art exhibit featuring remarkable works by seven dynamic BIPOC artists. On display since February 18, Style & Grace explores the resilience, strength and persistence endured in pursuing self-actualization. Artists Octavia Yearwood, Amani Lewis, Morel Doucet, Jade Lilly, Indigo Suave (Michael Osei-Wusu), Alexis Chivirter and Paperwater are on the leading edge of contemporary culture, defining the values communities hunger for and garnering respect from institutions because of their discerning taste and connection to humanity. They have an uncanny ability to connect and communicate, which can be felt in their art. “The exhibition tells a story that represents the world from a global perspective,” says Jessica Santiago, founder of Art Republic and curator of Style & Grace. “It reminds people of the ability to make something out of nothing and how from our pain and trials, we create beauty, community, art, literature, jazz, gospel, hip-hop, style and grace.” Arlo Wynwood will host a special closing ceremony on Saturday, May 13, which includes an artist meet-and-greet and a poolside rooftop after-party. RSVP Link: Style and Grace Closing Exhibition and Music Celebration The event schedule is as follows: 7-9 p.m. Immersive exhibition, gallery viewing, and artist meet-and-greet 9-11 p.m. After-party at Wynwood’s hottest rooftop bar with sounds by DJ Vitto Von Don By ML Staff.

- Are Miami Residents Finally Quitting the Habit?
By now, smoking’s many health risks are very well known. Aside from harming nearly every organ in the body and increasing the risk of mortality, the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke can also interfere with the intake of essential nutrients like vitamin B12. As previously discussed in an article on ‘Vitamin B12 Deficiency’, this severe health problem can lead to permanent memory loss and balance difficulties if unaddressed. The good news is that smoking rates in the United States have decreased in recent years, with more smokers opting to repair the harm to their bodies. Let’s look closer to home and find out whether or not Miami residents are kicking the habit and how exactly they’re doing it. What does the research say? The latest findings from the annual Florida Adult Tobacco Survey indicate that 14.7% of the adult population are smokers, with Miami reporting similar rates at 14.8%. Interestingly, research on tobacco education published in PubMed Central found that statewide tobacco education through the Tobacco Free Florida campaign has successfully brought smoking rates down over the years. Instead of simply relaying health information that the public already knows, what appeared to be most effective was the use of tips and testimonials from former smokers. This highly emotional messaging on mass media has clearly influenced behavioral changes among smokers. Thanks to the campaign, the same study estimates that 332,604 Floridians make quit attempts per year. Within Miami-Dade County, approximately 58.7% of adult smokers make at least one quit attempt. While this shows how valuable state- and county-wide campaigns on tobacco-free lifestyles can be, there are various other resources out there that further facilitate lifestyle transformations among smokers, some of which will be discussed below. What else helps Miami residents quit? Quitting is never as easy as it looks. Only a small percentage of those who try to quit cold turkey successfully eliminate cigarettes from their lives. Fortunately, there’s a growing market for alternatives that most adult smokers can use to manage withdrawal symptoms and keep cravings at bay. Among these alternatives are nicotine pouches. As an oral cessation aid, VELO nicotine pouches are tobacco-free and hence do not harm smokers' health the same way cigarettes do. Aside from offering a wide range of flavors and strengths that make for a satisfying nicotine delivery experience, market leader VELO is available to buy online at Prilla and ships anywhere in the US, including Florida. This enables Floridian smokers to reduce the harmful effects of tobacco and successfully quit. Likewise, other tobacco-free alternatives like nicotine gums, lozenges, and patches, from popular brands like Nicorette, Habitrol, and Nicoderm, are carried by pharmacies and convenience stores. This wide availability makes quitting more accessible for many smokers, as opposed to switching to e-cigarettes and thus substituting one addiction for another. Furthermore, these nicotine products do not emit any odors, smoke, or byproducts. Now that smoking bans are in place in Miami Beach, parks, and other public areas, smokers can use these alternatives discreetly without having to pay fines or harm anyone else due to secondhand smoke. But the same cessation method won't work for everyone. For smokers who want to quit without using medication, support is available through top smoking cessation apps listed by the Miami Herald. The Quit Genius Stop Smoking app provides behavioral support in the form of a quit smoking coach, a personalized strategy, and a progress tracker. Other apps can also extend support through mindfulness exercises and cognitive behavioral therapy tools. Despite the many bumps in transitioning to a smoke-free lifestyle, this wide range of quitting-related resources does not only prove to smokers in Miami — and anywhere else in the US — that it is possible to successfully quit and kick the habit. It also communicates to smokers that they don’t have to go through the challenging yet worthwhile journey of quitting all by themselves. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Pexels.

- Kentucky Derby News Update
Florida Derby (GI) runner-up Mage, who arrived at Churchill Downs early Monday, made his first appearance on the track Tuesday morning as he jogged a mile and galloped 1 ¼ miles. Cyclone Mischief Trained by Gustavo Delgado, Mage will be ridden in Derby 149 by Javier Castellano. Castellano rode Mage to a fourth-place finish in the Fountain of Youth (GII) in the Good Magic colt’s second start. There were no timed workouts for any Derby or Kentucky Oaks hopefuls Tuesday morning but Wednesday morning is expected to have works from Japanese-based runners Derma Sotogake (JPN) and Continuar (JPN), the 1-3 finishers in the UAE Derby (GII). Watch the Races on TV Friday, May 5th 2023 Kentucky Oaks 1 p.m. ET - USA Network & Peacock Saturday, May 6th 2023 Kentucky Derby 12 p.m. ET - NBC & Peacock ANGEL OF EMPIRE/HIT SHOW/JACE’S ROAD, VERIFYING It was another routine morning at trainer Brad Cox’s Barn 22 with all four of his Kentucky Derby contenders having routine gallops. Albaugh Family Stable’s Angel of Empire was the first of Cox’s quartet of Kentucky Derby contenders to train at 5:30 a.m. At 7:30 a.m., Gary and Mary West’s Hit Show, West Point Thoroughbreds and Albaugh Family Stable’s Jace’s Road and Westerberg, Mrs. John Magnier, Jonathan Poulin, Derrick Smith and Michael B. Tabor’s Verifying all had 1 ½-mile gallops. “We’re pretty excited coming into this Derby,” Cox said. “We have four really nice colts and we’re looking forward to next weekend. They’ll all work once more this weekend. We’re keeping an eye on the weather and make a decision in the next 24-48 hours.” CONFIDENCE GAME Don’t Tell My Wife Stables and Ocean Reef Racing’s Confidence Game galloped 1 ¼ miles under Alex Cano during the 7:30-7:45 training window for Kentucky Derby and Oaks horses. A two-time winner from four starts at Churchill Downs, Confidence Game would represent the fourth Kentucky Derby starter for trainer Keith Desormeaux, whose best Derby finish came from his first starter in 2016 with Exaggerator’s runner-up effort. CONTINUAR Lion Race Horse Co. Ltd.’s Continuar (JPN) warmed up in the mile chute during the first track harrow break of the morning and then galloped 1 ½ miles under Kazunari Yoshida for trainer Yoshito Yahagi. A winner of two of five career starts, Continuar is scheduled to work Wednesday morning. DERMA SOTOGAKE Hiroyuki Asanuma’s $1.1 million earner Derma Sotogake (JPN), warmed up in the mile chute during the first track maintenance break of the morning and then galloped 1 ¼ miles with Masatoshi Segawa aboard. Part of the morning activity also included a paddock schooling session for the winner of four of eight starts with the most recent victory coming in the UAE Derby (GII) by 5 ½ lengths. Trained by Hidetaka Otonashi, Derma Sotogake is scheduled to work Wednesday morning. DISARM Winchell Thoroughbreds’ Disarm had a routine walk day at Barn 38 following his five-furlong move in 1:00 Monday morning at Churchill Downs. FORTE/KINGSBARNS/MAJOR DUDE/TAPIT TRICE One of the rites of spring in Louisville is watching the weather, and for trainer Todd Pletcher, who has had an entrant in every Derby since 2000 except for 2003, this year is no different. “It wouldn’t be Derby Week without watching the weather,” Pletcher said. “It looks like there is some rain coming in Thursday and it could be a sketchy couple of days.” Spendthrift Farm’s Kingsbarns and Major Dude worked together last Thursday and both galloped 1 3/8 miles Tuesday morning with Elder Flores aboard Kingsbarns and Joel Osorio on Major Dude. Pletcher has not named a rider for Kingsbarns. Major Dude who is No. 23 on the Road to the Kentucky Derby leaderboard and in need of three defections by entry time Monday to get in the starting gate, has the 32nd running of the $500,000 American Turf (GII) on May 6 as his backup race should he not make the Derby field. Pletcher’s other Derby hopefuls also galloped 1 3/8 miles during the special Derby/Oaks training window from 7:30-7:45. Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable’s Forte, the probable morning line favorite for Derby 149, was partnered by Hector Ramos while Whisper Hill Farm and Gainesway Stable’s Tapit Trice was partnered by Amelia Green. MAGE – The Florida Derby (GI) runner-up, who gave likely Kentucky Derby favorite Forte a strong challenge in just his third lifetime start, took to the track for the first time, after the long van trip up from the Sunshine State. For the Run for the Roses, he’ll have Javier Castellano riding. Castellano rode him in the Fountain of Youth (GII) at Gulfstream Park. “Yesterday, we made the decision on the rider,” said Gustavo Delgado Jr., son of the colt’s same-named trainer. “He’s ridden him before, and we didn’t want to try anyone new.” With exercise rider J.J. Delgado, the colt owned by OGMA Investments LLC, Ramiro Restrepo, Sterling Racing LLC and CMNWLTH galloped easily, going a mile-and-a-quarter. “He’s a pretty laid-back horse,” Delgado Jr. said. “He gave us the impression that he enjoys the track, so far, so good.” RAISE CAIN – Andrew and Rania Warren’s Raise Cain, fifth in the Blue Grass Stakes (GI) in his most recent start, is in need of a rider for Derby 149. Javier Castellano initially was lined up to ride but he has opted to ride Florida Derby (G1) runner-up Mage. “No rider yet,” trainer Ben Colebrook said. “We will wait it out. Never missed a race yet because of a rider.” Stabled at Keeneland, Raise Cain is scheduled to work there Thursday morning. ROCKET CAN – Trainer Bill Mott sent the colt owned by Frank Fletcher Racing Operations out for a gallop with regular exercise rider Guelser Cardona aboard. “He looked good, after we worked him Sunday, he had an easy day yesterday, then had him back on the track this morning,” said the Hall of Fame trainer. “We also walked him over to the temporary paddock that they’ll use this year. It looked like he had good energy, and that he came out of the work in good shape.” SUN THUNDER – Trainer Kenny McPeek sent the fourth-place finisher in the Blue Grass Stakes (GI) at Keeneland, to the Churchill Downs track again Tuesday with exercise rider Martin Vargas. “He galloped a mile-and-a-quarter, and he stood in the starting gate … pretty routine, basic stuff,” McPeek said. “He’ll work on Wednesday.” WILD ON ICE – Frank Sumpter’s Wild On Ice had a double schooling day Tuesday when he got acquainted with the Kentucky Derby starting gate and the paddock. Trainer Joel Marr was alongside the Sunland Park Derby (GIII) at 7:30 a.m. and walked him to the one-mile chute where he schooled in the starting gate with exercise rider Oscar Rojero on board. Then, Wild On Ice was led over to the frontside by outrider Greg Blasi and schooled in the paddock. Finally, the gelding galloped about 1 3/8 miles. Marr stated Wild On Ice’s final Derby work is scheduled for Thursday with jockey Ken Tohill slated to be aboard.

Dawn and Ike Thrash’s The Alys Look and Godolphin’s Wet Paint galloped about 1 ½ miles at 7:30 a.m. while LNJ Foxwoods and Clearsky Farms’ Botanical galloped the same distance around 8:30 a.m. All three fillies then schooled in the Churchill Downs paddock.

Trained by Todd Fincher, Flying Connection is scheduled to have her second Churchill Downs work Thursday. GAMBLING GIRL/JULIA SHINING Repole Stable’s Gambling Girl galloped 1 3/8 miles under exercise rider Carlos Quevedo for trainer Todd Pletcher. Stonestreet Stables’ Julia Shining, No. 16 on the Road to the Kentucky Oaks leaderboard and in need of two defections to make the 14-horse Oaks starting gate, galloped 1 3/8 miles under Humberto Zamora. “There is no Plan B as of yet,” Pletcher said when asked if there was an immediate option for Julia Shining should she not run in the Oaks. Julia Shining is a full sister to 2021 Kentucky Oaks winner Malathaat. MIMI KAKUSHI Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum’s Mimi Kakushi, jogged a mile and cantered a mile under exercise rider Xavier Ziani. Undefeated in two starts this year with victories in the UAE One Thousand Guineas and UAE Oaks (GIII), Mimi Kakushi would represent the first runner in the United States for her owner as well as her trainer Salem bin Ghadayer. Bin Ghadayer plans to work Mimi Kakushi on Saturday. She will have paddock schooling on her agenda leading up to the Oaks and possibly gate schooling. PRETTY MISCHIEVOUS The Godolphin filly, trained by Brendan Walsh, went out for a gallop with exercise rider Albino Martinez. While Walsh is out of town, assistant Charlie Lynch supervised her. “She went her usual mile-and-a-half,” Lynch said, confirming that the filly will have a timed workout probably Friday or Saturday. “A lot depends on the weather,” he said. SOUTHLAWN Fair Grounds Oaks (GII) winner Southlawn galloped about 1 ½ miles at 7:30 a.m. for trainer Norm Casse. Casse’s exercise rider Joel Garcia was in the saddle for Southlawn’s Tuesday training session. “She’s doing well out of her work last week and has trained with a lot of energy,” Casse said. “That’s what you want to see out of a work.” Southlawn is scheduled to work Thursday, according to Casse. WONDER WHEEL The champion 2-year-old filly of 2022 stepped onto the Churchill Downs track at 6 a.m. With exercise rider Kim Carroll aboard, the D.J. Stable color bearer jogged in the chute for 10 minutes before an easy gallop. “She galloped her usual mile-and-a-quarter,” said David Carroll, assistant to trainer Mark Casse. “She was up in the chute for a while, playing around, then she went down and did her mile-and-a-quarter.” Wonder Wheel at times appears a bit headstrong, and Carroll said, “That’s something we’re working on. She wants to do too much.” Plans still call for her to breeze Thursday morning, with her Oaks jockey, Joel Rosario. “Timing-wise, it’ll be good, since she breezed last Thursday,” Carroll said. “We want Joel to get a feel for her. He’s very, very good at getting horses to relax. He’s one of those riders who’s very astute, and picks up on things.” SHAPING UP: THE KENTUCKY OAKS Here are the horses (with trainers) that are qualified for the Longines Kentucky Oaks and those on the also-eligible list (in alphabetical order with AEs listed last in preference order): Affirmative Lady (John Velazquez, Graham Motion); And Tell Me Nolies (Ramon Vazquez, Peter Miller); Botanical (Chris Landeros, Brad Cox); Defining Purpose (Brian Hernandez Jr., Kenny McPeek); Dorth Vader (TBA, Mike Yates); Flying Connection (Florent Geroux, Todd Fincher); Gambling Girl (Irad Ortiz Jr., Todd Pletcher); Mimi Kakushi (Mickael Barzelona, Salem bin Ghadayer); Pretty Mischievous (Tyler Gaffalione, Brendan Walsh); Promiseher America (TBA, Ray Handal); Southlawn (Rey Gutierrez, Norm Casse); The Alys Look (Luis Saez, Brad Cox); and Wet Paint (Flavien Prat, Brad Cox); Wonder Wheel (Joel Rosario, Mark Casse).

However, you should start consuming these combinations in small quantities. Choose The Most Suitable Consumption Method How you take this kratom variant product affects how potent the effects are. Traditionally, most users used to consume kratom by chewing it. Currently, many users do not like the variant's grassy and earthy taste.

Photo by Charlotte May/Pexels Purchase A High-Quality Thai Kratom Product Lastly, you can get the maximum benefits of the white Thai variant by buying the best quality of its products. A good quality product will always try to deliver you the best results. On the other hand, consuming a low-quality product may give undesired effects.
