The review found “10 minutes outside in a space with nature” each day has a positive impact on mental health.

A roaring fire inside the enclosed deck of Lee’s home triggered the camera and sent an alert to his phone around 2AM.

Bonus News (not mentioned on-air):The hottest topic for a website blog post or article right now is something along the lines of “How to make your own hand sanitizer.” We have coronavirus to thank for this. The World Health Organization even has an official guide to making hand sanitizer. But a professor of public health and the University of California says we probably shouldn’t be making our own hand sanitizer: “I worry about people making their own sanitizer as it will be difficult to make sure that the concentrations are correct.”… For hand sanitizer to be effective, it must have at least 60% alcohol content, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Store-bought hand sanitizers will also often have emollients to counter the harshness of the alcohol on the skin. If you don’t have that in your homemade recipe, you could risk hurting your hands. Like store-bought sanitizer, homemade sanitizer would be something you’d want to keep out of the reach of young children, too… But if you want to make your own hand sanitizer, here’s what you’ll need:
-Plain vodka (a cheap brand is fine)
-Aloe vera gel
-Lavender essential oil
-Tea tree essential oil
