remnants, motorcyclists should be cautious of the less-maintained edges of the road, which can accumulate hazardous materials. AIRBNB ADVICE If you plan to stay in an Airbnb, remember to document any conditions that could pose a safety risk. Photograph any defects or dangerous conditions immediately upon arrival, as you may not have another opportunity to capture this evidence should an injury occur. CYCLISTS AND JOGGERS Visibility and awareness are key for cyclists and joggers, especially in the early days of warmer seasons. Drivers may not be used to seeing joggers and cyclists after the colder months. If possible, hold off on biking until after the streets have been thoroughly cleaned in the spring.

Spada Law Group's Guide to a Safer Summer
As warmer weather welcomes more outdoor activities, it's important to prioritize safety. Let’s look at four seasonal reminders from Spada Law Group, born from over 30 years of personal injury expertise, to help you stay safe this season. HOMEOWNER TIPS With the increase in outdoor activities, ensuring your homeowner's or renter's insurance covers injuries potentially caused by your pet is vital. If you own a dog, verify that your insurance policy covers any injuries your dog might cause. This is a small precaution that can prevent significant financial and legal headaches. MOTORCYCLE SAFETY For motorcyclists, now is the time to review your insurance coverage. Make sure your policy includes at least $100,000 in uninsured motorist coverage.

MIND-BENDING MAMA Guinness Names World’s Most Productive Mother
You may have heard of Octomom, the California mother of 14 who gave birth to octuplets, or the woman in Morocco who gave birth to nonuplets in 2021, all nine of whom are alive and well. These record-breaking moms have nothing on Mrs. Feodor Vassilyev.

cite “numerous contemporaneous sources” to back the story. The first was a monastery in the town of Nikolsk, northeast of Moscow, where monks recorded and reported the births to Moscow officials in 1782. The Lancet, a respected medical journal, recounted in 1878 an account by French researchers from the “Statistical Works of Russia,” showing that Mrs. Vassilyev’s husband had spawned 87 children by two wives.

letter, dated 1782, saying that O.S. Feodor Wassilief (sic), age 75, had 69 children via 27 births by his first wife and 18 children via eight births by his second wife, for a total of 87 offspring! Citing information from an English merchant in St. Petersburg, the writer said 84 of the children had survived, and the father had been invited to meet the empress, Catherine the Great. The first Mrs. Vassilyev’s remarkable record suggests that she was pregnant for 243 months, or more than 20 years, of her life — more than half the average life expectancy of Russian women in that era!
Even the Guinness editors admit the story seems unlikely, but they
