From an email:

What:

Audio/video recording session of “Ready to Live,” a song about fighting HIV/AIDS stigma, to performed live by Caressa Cameron, Miss America 2010, for distribution online and exhibition in clinics and waiting rooms around the world.

When:

Monday 6/6/11, approx. 4:30- 7pm

Where:

Columbia Heights Civic Plaza, corner of 14th & Park Sts. NW, Washington DC, 20010. One block N of the Columbia Heights Metro station.

Who:

A “flash choir” consisting of HIV+ and HIV- performers, identified as such by colorful badges that first hang around necks, then are tossed in a trash can to symbolize how insignificant HIV status will be in a post-stigma world.

Clothes:

Up to you. Just remember that the badges referred to in the previous point need to be concealed under a shirt or top until they all come out at once. So a T-shirt would work, but not, for example, a bikini top.

Pay:

None, but food/drinks/snacks will be provided, you’ll meet a lot of cool people, and it’s a heck of a good cause.

Lyric:

Only three words: “Ready — to — Live.” Easy! (Sheet music available on request, although the part is extremely simple.)

Rhythm:

Must be able to clap on beats 2 and 4. Easy!

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
