Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA)
On March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez spilled over 11 million gallons of Alaskan crude into the water of Prince William Sound. There were many lessons learned the aftermath of the Valdez oil spill. Two of the most obvious were: The United States lacked adequate resources, particularly Federal funds, to respond to spills, and
The scope of damages compensable under federal law to those impacted by a spill was fairly narrow. Although the environmental damage and massive cleanup efforts were the most visible effects of this casualty, one of the most important outcomes was the enactment of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), which addressed both these deficiencies. OPA Overview
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ( 33 U.S.C. 2701-2761) amended the Clean Water Act and addressed the wide range of problems associated with preventing, responding to, and paying for oil pollution incidents in navigable waters of the United States. It created a comprehensive prevention, response, liability, and compensation regime to deal with vessel- and facility-caused oil pollution to U.S. navigable waters. OPA greatly increased federal oversight of maritime oil transportation, while providing greater environmental safeguards by: Setting new requirements for vessel construction and crew licensing and manning,
Mandating contingency planning,
Enhancing federal response capability,
Broadening enforcement authority,
Increasing penalties,
Creating new research and development programs,
Increasing potential liabilities, and
Significantly broadening financial responsibility requirements. Title I of OPA
Title I of OPA established new and higher liability limits for oil spills, with commensurate changes to financial responsibility requirements. | https://www.uscg.mil/Mariners/National-Pollution-Funds-Center/About_NPFC/OPA/ |

Title I of OPA established new and higher liability limits for oil spills, with commensurate changes to financial responsibility requirements. It substantially broadened the scope of damages, including natural resource damages (NRDs), for which polluters are liable. It also authorized the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) up to $1 billion to pay for expeditious oil removal and uncompensated damagesup to $1 billion per incident.

American farmers and ranchers also depend on exports. The same is true for America’s farmers and ranchers. About 25% of U.S. farm products by value are exported each year. For many crops, such as wheat or almonds, more than half is sold abroad. U.S. agriculture is so productive there’s no way Americans could consume this bounty alone. #LetsGrow: Messages from Main Street on Trade
BENEFITS OF IMPORTS
Amid a renewed focus on boosting U.S. exports, it is important to bear in mind that imports benefit Americans as well. They bring lower prices and more choices for American families as they try to stretch their budgets. Companies also depend on imports for raw materials and competitively priced inputs. Imports give us access to products that would not otherwise be available—such as fresh fruit in the winter. | https://www.uschamber.com/international/international-policy/benefits-international-trade |

Why We Need China and Why China Needs Us
Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 8:00pm
By Thomas Donohue
July 2001
Though this week's Congressional vote to extend normal trade relations with China lacked the widespread media attention, intensive grassroots efforts, and nonstop lobbying blitz that characterized last year's passage of a permanent extension, it had equally important consequences for our economy, natural security, and global stability. Permanent extension of favorable trade ties is on hold until China completes its accession into the World Trade Organization, which now appears likely to occur late this year or early next year. In the meantime, Congress did the right thing and renewed year-by-year normal trade relations status with China—something it has done every year for the past 20 years. Why is it important that we continue to have normal trade relations with China? First, trade with China offers U.S. workers and businesses tremendous opportunities. The United States exported over $18 billion in goods and services to China last year, supporting hundreds of thousands of high-paying U.S. jobs and improving American living standards.

Content: The United States exported over $18 billion in goods and services to China last year, supporting hundreds of thousands of high-paying U.S. jobs and improving American living standards. Our commercial relationship with China is more important now than ever before given that U.S. manufacturing, agricultural and high-tech sectors are in the midst of a serious economic downturn and need access to foreign markets to recover. However, encouraged by recent challenges in U.S.-China relations, a small but vocal group of labor union bosses, human rights activists, political ideologues and anti-free traders opposed China NTR, arguing that China should be punished through the loosening of U.S.-China economic ties. But history is proof that commercial engagement is America's most effective tool in promoting democracy, free enterprise, human rights, and rule of law in China. Consider the enormous economic, political, and social changes that have gripped China in the first two decades since normalization of U.S.-China economic ties. China's per capita gross domestic product has increased fivefold, with some 250 million Chinese having been lifted out of poverty. A completely state-controlled economy and closed society back then, today China boasts more than a million private businesses, which created more than 4 million new jobs last year alone and account for more than 20% of China's $1 trillion gross domestic product. China's economic engagement with the U.S. and other Western democracies triggered the historic display of free political expression in Tiananmen Square, and the infiltration of American traditions and values into China through open engagement has forced the unbending Communist Party to loosen its grip on Chinese society, even recently inviting private businessmen to join the party. But China has a long way to go before its people enjoy the same freedoms Americans do. That's why it's important we continue to engage China, nurture it, and guide it along the path toward a free enterprise democracy. | https://www.uschamber.com/op-ed/why-we-need-china-and-why-china-needs-us |

China's impending entry into the WTO sets the framework for a continually growing U.S.-China partnership and opens up plentiful new opportunities for U.S. companies and workers. But in many ways, China's entry into the WTO represents the beginning, not the end, of a long process to bring China into the community of nations.

Executive Summary
Today, the US-China trade relationship actually supports roughly 2.6 million jobs in the United States across a range of industries, including jobs that Chinese companies have created in America. And as the Chinese middle class continues its rapid expansion over the next decade (the number of Chinese middle-class consumers will exceed the entire population of the United States by 2026), US companies face significant opportunities to tap into a new and lucrative customer base that can further boost employment and economic growth. Economic data show that nations trading closely with China outperform nations with less integrated trade ties, and we expect this trend to continue. Examples of the benefits to the US economy from trade with China include: China purchased $165 billion in goods and services from the United States in 2015, representing 7.3 percent of all US exports and about 1 percent of total US economic output. Although some US manufacturing jobs have been lost because of the trade deficit, US firms sell high-value products to China, including cars and trucks, construction equipment, and semiconductors, which support jobs. US firms also export business and financial services, totaling $6.7 billion in 2014 and $7.1 billion in 2015. By 2030, we expect US exports to China to rise to more than $520 billion. As China has become an integral part of the global manufacturing supply chain, much of its exports are comprised of foreign-produced components delivered for final assembly in China. If the value of these imported components is subtracted from China’s exports, the US trade deficit with China is reduced by half, to about 1 percent of GDP—about the same as the US trade deficit with the European Union. | https://www.uschina.org/reports/understanding-us-china-trade-relationship |

America’s 11th-largest export market in 2000, China has grown to become the third-largest destination for American goods and services. US exports to China directly and indirectly supported 1.8 million new jobs and $165 billion in GDP in 2015. When the economic benefits generated from US investment in China and Chinese investment in the US are combined, the total amounts to 2.6 million US jobs and about $216 billion of GDP. China is expected to continue to be one of the fastest growing major economies, creating growth opportunities for American companies— provided China proceeds with economic reforms that will remove lingering market access barriers in many sectors. Chinese manufacturing also lowered prices in the United States for consumer goods, dampening inflation and putting more money in American wallets. | https://www.uschina.org/reports/understanding-us-china-trade-relationship |

At an aggregate level, US consumer prices are 1 percent - 1.5 percent lower because of cheaper Chinese imports. The typical US household earned about $56,500 in 2015; trade with China therefore saved these families up to $850 that year. Since 2003, productivity growth in US manufacturing outpaced most advanced economies. Oxford Economics calculates that US manufacturing productivity increased by 40 percent from 2003 to 2016, or 2.5 percent annually, compared with 23 percent in Germany. | https://www.uschina.org/reports/understanding-us-china-trade-relationship |

The US-China Economic Relationship
The US has benefited from trade and investment flows with China. The combination of bilateral trade, investment, and supply chain integration has supported economic growth, consumer choice, and job creation. In 2019, exports to China supported 1.2 million jobs in the US and as of 2018, 197,000 people in the US were directly employed by Chinese multinational firms. US companies invested $105 billion in China in 2019, and the profits from these investments and the contribution they make to the competitiveness of US businesses help support the US economy through R&D, domestic investment, and dividend payments. With China forecast to drive around one-third of global growth over the next decade, maintaining market access to China is increasingly essential for US businesses’ global success. The trade war with China hurt the US economy and failed to achieve major policy goals outlined by the Trump administration. Rather than benefiting the economy, it has reduced US economic growth and employment, resulting in an estimated peak loss of 245,000 jobs. Tariff rates remain at a multi-decade high despite both countries reaching a phase one trade agreement in early 2020. While the agreement made important progress on longstanding trade barriers in agriculture, financial services, and intellectual property protection, it failed to address a range of administration concerns over Chinese state-owned enterprise disciplines, distorting subsidies, data and cybersecurity, and other areas of market access. While the trade deficit with China did narrow in 2019, this was offset by an increased trade deficit with the rest of the world, leaving the overall US trade deficit broadly unchanged. | https://www.uschina.org/reports/us-china-economic-relationship |

The Miranda case included three other cases from across the country, all of which dealt with police interrogation of persons suspected of a crime. Phoenix police officers arrested Ernesto Miranda at his home on suspicion of rape and kidnapping. He was transported to the police station and placed in an interrogation room. After two hours of interrogation the police obtained a written confession from Miranda. He was convicted of the charges and his attorney appealed, stating that he was not advised of his constitutional rights, namely his Fifth Amendment right to be free from self-incrimination and his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. The Arizona Supreme Court affirmed the trial court. In its analysis, great weight was given to the fact that Miranda had not specifically requested counsel. However, during the trial, the police admitted that Miranda had not been advised that he had the right to have counsel present. If the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution states, in part, ‘‘No person . . . shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself,’’ and the Sixth Amendment states, ‘‘the accused shall . . . | https://www.uscivilliberties.org/cases/4155-miranda-v-arizona-384-us-436-1966.html |

Content: Miranda’s roots, therefore, lie in the Fifth Amendment—the right to be free from self-incrimination. The Supreme Court held that under two circumstances a person must be given precautionary warnings, creating the two-prong test of Miranda. The first prong is custody, which is when a person is in the custody of law enforcement or his or her freedom of movement is restricted by law enforcement. The second prong is interrogation, which is when the person is then questioned about a criminal matter in which he or she is involved. If the two-prong test is met, the precautionary warnings must be given if the information obtained is to be admissible. The warnings are as follows: The person must be advised of his right to remain silent and that anything said could be used in court against him. The person has the right to have an attorney present during questioning, whether he can afford one or not. The person can waive his rights but only if it is done in a knowing, voluntary, and intelligent manner. If the person does not waive his rights, the police may not question him. | https://www.uscivilliberties.org/cases/4155-miranda-v-arizona-384-us-436-1966.html |

Content: The existence of non-binary identities are a rejection of the assumption that gender must be male/man/masculine or female/woman/feminine. Non-binary genders could include: Agender people, or people who do not identify with any gender
Genderqueer, gender-fluid, or bigender people
Many trans feminine or trans masculine people who do not identify as a woman or a man
A gender non-conforming person, either by nature or by choice, does not conform to cultural gender-based expectations. Not all transgender people are gender non-conforming, and not all gender non-conforming people identify as transgender. Cisgender people may also be gender non-conforming. It is ultimately best to use the terminology that a person uses to describe their own gender identity, rather than making assumptions or determining correct language for yourself. When in doubt of how to respectfully refer to another person, it is usually best to simply ask them privately. Gender Across Cultures
Non-Western cultures often have different gender systems. In some cultures, people whom one would consider trans (in the West) are automatically classified as a third, or even fourth or fifth gender. In other cultures, they are described with the same terms used for gay people. | https://www.usd.edu/diversity-and-inclusiveness/office-for-diversity/safe-zone-training/gender-identity |

Among Indigenous and Native American communities, Two-Spirit is a general term for people within native culture who blend the masculine and feminine, and can have defined spiritual and societal roles. Many Indigenous communities have terms unique to their tribe for gender-variant members. Two-Spirit culture was and remains threatened by extinction in the face of European and American colonization, and many Native American members of the queer community identify as Two-Spirit today.

Content: In addition, single parents, who do not have a partner to help out with child care, purchase 14 percent more ready-to-eat foods than all other households. Financial resources also play an important role in convenience food choices. Convenience foods from fast-food or full-service restaurants tend to be more expensive than those bought from grocery stores. Not surprisingly, as household incomes rise, households shift from ready-to-eat food from grocery stores to fast-food and full-service restaurant meals. On the other hand, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides program participants with funds to purchase food from grocery stores, and as a result, SNAP participants tend to buy more food from grocery stores and less from restaurants than non-participants who are eligible for SNAP. Consumers’ decisions on how much of different types of convenience foods they purchase is influenced by time constraints, prices, the food environment, and financial resources. Understanding what motivates these consumers to purchase convenience foods has important implications for public health, given that convenience foods are often associated with lower nutritional value. Time constraints due to employment are associated with greater preference for convenience foods. Category/Topic: Research and Science

In 2011, 17 Amtrak workers failed random drug tests. Maintenance workers killed by an Amtrak train near Philadelphia in 2016 were on drugs when the crash happened. Federal regulators say they've seen an uptick in drug use by rail workers in recent years. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) deals with railroads in the United States. Railroads are required by law to monitor and control drug and alcohol use among their employees. This was the result of a 1987 accident in Chase, Maryland, which killed 16 people and injured 147. In that accident, it was the engineer of a now-defunct railroad that ran three lights and caused his train to collide with Amtrak's train. It was determined later that he was under the influence of marijuana. The 1987 crash was one of the factors that led to Congress passing the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991. This created required drug and alcohol testing programs for Department of Transportation (DOT) regulated employers. | https://www.usdrugtestcenters.com/federal-railroad-administration-drug-testing.html |

Content: Nearly eight million people performing safety-sensitive transportation jobs are covered by DOT drug and alcohol regulations. These include pilots, truck drivers, subway operators, ship captains, pipeline controllers, airline mechanics, locomotive engineers, bus drivers, and armed security, among others. The general purpose of the FRA program is to prevent accidents and casualties in railroad operations that result from impairment of employees by alcohol and/or drugs. US Drug Test Centers provides drug and alcohol testing services throughout the United States. Our test centers provide drug testing for all DOT agencies including: FMCSA, FTA, PHMSA, USCG, FAA, and FRA. FRA-regulated employers must follow guidelines for drug and alcohol testing from DOT rule 49 CFR Part 40 and from FRA rule CFR Part 219. FRA covered employee: A person who performs hours of service functions at a rate sufficient to be placed into the railroad’s random testing program. Categories of personnel who normally perform these functions are locomotive engineers, trainmen, conductors, switchmen, locomotive hostlers/helpers, utility employees, signalmen, operators, and train dispatchers. | https://www.usdrugtestcenters.com/federal-railroad-administration-drug-testing.html |

The FRA already applied to covered employees, but more recently, they expanded CFR Part 219 to cover Maintenance-of-Way (MOW) employees, in addition. MOW workers are anyone whose work activities include inspection, repair, or construction of roadways, tracks, bridges, etc. Previously, the FRA tested MOW workers only post-mortem in the event of an accident. However, due to the FRA still finding a high rate of positive drug test results among these deceased MOW workers, MOW employees are now fully subject to CFR Part 219. These workers receive the same minimum rate of random drug and alcohol testing as covered employees. | https://www.usdrugtestcenters.com/federal-railroad-administration-drug-testing.html |

CFR Part 219
Under CFR Part 219, the FRA has designated its safety-sensitive employees to be those who perform services covered under the hours of service laws (covered service). This includes “contracted” hours of service employees and also individuals who may volunteer to perform hours of service duties for a railroad. These generally include train and engine service employees involved in the movement of trains or engines (e.g., conductors, brakemen, switchmen, engineers, locomotive hostlers/helpers), dispatching employees who issue mandatory directives (e.g., train dispatchers, control operators), and signal employees who inspect, repair or maintain signal systems.

( These collection procedures go well beyond the normal CFR Part 40 procedures.) For surviving employees, these specimens are collected at an independent medical facility. FRA regulation, 49 CFR Part 219 Subpart C, stipulates the level of events requiring testing and who has to be tested. | https://www.usdrugtestcenters.com/federal-railroad-administration-drug-testing.html |

Content: The collected specimens are analyzed only at the FRA’s contract laboratory. Post-accident testing provides the FRA with accident investigation and usage data. Compliance With FRA Drug and Alcohol Testing
Applicants and employees who are required to be tested under the FRA regulation should know what to expect and be ready to comply. The FRA recently published a helpful document entitled: What You Need to Know About Federal Drug and Alcohol Testing. Railroads must provide employees with clear and unequivocal written notice of the type of federal test that will be conducted (e.g., random, reasonable suspicion, reasonable cause, follow-up, return-to-work, etc.). Testing in the FRA program will consist of: Urine screens to detect the presence of marijuana, cocaine, opioids (and expanded opiates), phencyclidine and amphetamines (See 49 CFR § 40.85 and 49 CFR § 40.87); Breath alcohol tests to detect the unauthorized use of alcohol; and
Breath, urine, and tissue (fatality) testing after qualifying FRA post-accident events. | https://www.usdrugtestcenters.com/federal-railroad-administration-drug-testing.html |

Summary of Zoning and Planning for Rural Areas
Also Relevant to Rural Communities
Content: Perhaps you could allow the seed salesman to display a tiny sign this way. You can say that the only additional uses allowed are farm owner or laborer housing, the "accessory uses" to farm housing (garages, sheds, and so forth), and agricultural buildings. You also could require that houses in adjacent zones be set back from the agricultural property line by a particular instance. This might prevent some of the suburban-rural conflict, such as the common "roosters are making noise at 4:00 in the morning" complaint. How Zoning Could Contribute to Better Quality Rural Development
Now let's turn to the second reason listed above that you might want rural zoning after all. You want to prevent poor quality development if and when a large-scale business or development wants to locate in your area. You might like to use zoning simply to give a minimalist framework for good quality rural community development. For example, would you like to set up a minimum lot size, a minimum setback from agricultural uses, a maximum building size, a maximum number of employees, a maximum amount of parking or percentage of the total lot that is parking? To be honest, most communities don't have the nerve to set up in advance the terms for rural economic development, or urban economic development either, if you're keeping track. But if you do so, you are in a much stronger position when Mega Farm Supply comes along, people are so excited because they bring much-needed jobs and desirable shopping, and then you are in a weak position to negotiate about the details of the proposal. | https://www.useful-community-development.org/rural-zoning.html |

Why is zoning important
Content: However, since the 1930's it's been the standard mechanism in the U.S., and most cities seem to be staying with it. The reasons that good land use guidance is important can include preserving property values that might decline if someone pops an undesirable business down in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The regulation of matters such as setbacks (meaning the number of feet from a street or an adjoining property line that must be maintained free of structures) helps with a solid urban design. Two homes inappropriately close together in a neighborhood where there is some real room to roam around each house would tend to detract from the neighborhood and therefore property values. Given the major amount of effort that goes into establishing zoning regulations and a zoning map in the first place, and then into debating small changes to the regulations and map changes either initiated by the property owner or the government, your real question could be: is zoning worth the effort? That's an interesting question indeed, because even where zoning is in place, zoning decisions aren't made in a vacuum. Politics can influence the decisions, in the sense that elected officials may be afraid to go against popular demand. In smaller towns especially, popularity of the person applying for the zoning change often influences whether it is granted. And sometimes the rezoning is inappropriate when it is influenced by these outside factors. | https://www.useful-community-development.org/why-is-zoning-important.html |

Then zoning can have unintended consequences and actually prevent economic development, flexible provisions for affordable housing, and other things that are good for your community. So what are the alternatives to zoning? The new one arising from the architectural community is called form-based code, and as the name implies, it relies on regulating building placement and building characteristics rather than the activity that is going to happen inside the building. Another alternative is simply to rely on private deed restrictions. | https://www.useful-community-development.org/why-is-zoning-important.html |

Another alternative is simply to rely on private deed restrictions. Houston is the largest American city not to employ zoning as its primary land use control, although it has taken the unusual step of making some such restrictions enforceable by the city. A deed restriction means that a property owner, such as the person who owns the land before it is subdivided, makes binding restrictions on future owners of the land. So a builder of a residential subdivision could prohibit any future owners from commercial development, for instance. Judging by the frequency with which this website receives requests for information about how to change deed restrictions, not all future owners are happy with this system, let's just say. But it's an alternative. | https://www.useful-community-development.org/why-is-zoning-important.html |

What is Genocide? Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. These acts fall into five categories: Killing members of the group
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
There are a number of other serious, violent crimes that do not fall under the specific definition of genocide. They include crimes against humanity, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and mass killing. Learn More
Raphael Lemkin coined the term “genocide” in 1944. — US Holocaust Memorial Museum, gift of United Nations
Origin of the Term Genocide
The word “genocide” did not exist prior to 1944. It is a very specific term coined by a Polish-Jewish lawyer named Raphael Lemkin (1900–1959) who sought to describe Nazi policies of systematic murder during the Holocaust, including the destruction of European Jews. He formed the word genocide by combining geno-, from the Greek word for race or tribe, with -cide, from the Latin word for killing. | https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/learn-about-genocide-and-other-mass-atrocities/what-is-genocide |

Content: At 11:00 a.m. on November 11 (11/11), 1918, fighting on the western front ceased. The "Great War," as its contemporaries called it, was over. But the conflict's far-reaching impact upon international, political, economic, and social spheres would resonate for decades to come. Military Losses
World War I represented one of the most destructive wars in history. More than 8.5 million soldiers died as a result of the hostilities, a figure exceeding the military deaths in all the wars between European powers in the 19th century. Although accurate casualty statistics are difficult to ascertain, an estimated 21 million men were wounded in combat. The enormous losses on all sides of the conflict resulted in part from the introduction of new weapons and military tactics, such as long-range artillery, tanks, poison gas, and aerial warfare. Military leaders also failed to adjust their tactics to the increasingly mechanized nature of warfare. A policy of attrition, particularly on the western front, cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. July 1, 1916, saw the heaviest loss of life in a single day. | https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007427 |

On this day, the British Army on the Somme alone suffered over 57,000 casualties. Germany and Russia incurred the highest number of military deaths: an estimated 1,773,700 and 1,700,000, respectively. France lost sixteen percent of its mobilized forces, the highest mortality rate relative to troops deployed. Civilian Losses
No official agencies kept careful accounting of civilian losses during the war years, but scholars assert that as many as 13,000,000 non-combatants died as a result of hostilities, mostly from starvation, disease, military action, and massacres. | https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007427 |

Mortality for both military and civilian populations spiked at war's end with the outbreak of the "Spanish Flu," the deadliest influenza epidemic in history. Millions of people were uprooted or displaced from their homes in Europe and Asia Minor as a result of the conflict. Property and industry losses were catastrophic, especially in France and Belgium, where fighting had been the heaviest. Last Edited: Jul 25, 2019

I was sick of seeing scripts where there was one female role, badly written, and yet every actress in town wanted the part because there was nothing else.” Witherspoon’s Little Fires Everywhere costar Kerry Washington championed the actress and her efforts for change, telling the magazine, “There is a lot of pressure in the world about who is supposed to care about politics, who is supposed to be in charge, who is supposed to be an activist.

I was sick of seeing scripts where there was one female role, badly written, and yet every actress in town wanted the part because there was nothing else.” Witherspoon’s Little Fires Everywhere costar Kerry Washington championed the actress and her efforts for change, telling the magazine, “There is a lot of pressure in the world about who is supposed to care about politics, who is supposed to be in charge, who is supposed to be an activist. And Reese has given a very genteel, Southern, ladylike middle finger to all of it.” The Scandal alum added: “ She is going to care about who runs the country and who has power and intersectional feminism and remain the beautiful, blonde, genteel Southern woman that she is.” Witherspoon has focused a lot of her attention on Hollywood activism while America Ferrera has used her voice to speak out about politics and commanded attention with the creation of her nonprofit, Harness. “People make decisions every single day that impact my life — the air I breathe, my ability to walk down the street and be safe, how much money I make for the job I do, whether I can choose what happens to my body,” Ferrera told Vogue in February 2019. “ And at every important social moment in our history, artists have played a role. | https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/celebrity-activists-20141411/ |

Memes like “Here’s The *tap* *tap* Tea” and the “Microwave Challenge” were all birthed on TikTok, and there’s plenty more where they came from. As it’s rapidly climbing the ranks of popular social media, you might be wondering what it is that makes TikTok tick (pun intended). Is it because it offers an almost endless stream of memes? Is it because it’s the new source for social media superstars? Is it because it can skyrocket you to internet fame, even for just a little while? Maybe it’s all of those, but here’s precisely why you should ride the TikTok trend, and stat: | https://www.usmagazine.com/shop-with-us/news/tik-tok-five-reasons-you-need-to-be-on/ |

Content: Dr. Brian Collins, a veterinarian on the faculty of the highly ranked Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in New York, says Cornell looks for a variety of traits when assessing applicants. "Half of our admissions review is dedicated to making sure the applicant has the academic background to succeed in our curriculum," he wrote in an email, noting that the rest of the admissions process is designed to assess the applicant as an individual. " Scientific curiosity, compassion, empathy, resilience, demonstrated problem-solving skills and people-skills are additional characteristics we value and look for in an applicant." Krull suggests that showcasing positive personality traits is one way to improve the odds of vet school acceptance. "Some schools do personal interviews as well, so you must be charismatic and present yourself in a way that convinces them you are a good fit," she says. " Since burnout, compassion fatigue and suicide rates are rampantly on the rise in this profession, schools may also now be looking at students who have resilience, grit and the self-care needed to survive school and the profession." Most vet schools require applicants to submit GRE General Test scores, and some also require a GRE Subject Test in biology. It is occasionally possible to submit scores from the MCAT medical school entrance exam instead of the GRE General Test, but that depends on a vet school's admissions policies. The Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges provides a free " Profile of Admitted Students " online tool that prospective vet students can use to find out what credentials are typical among accepted students at individual vet schools.

Read: What Graduate School Is and Who Should Consider Attending. ] "Within the veterinary school curriculum," Solomon wrote in an email, "classes include the anatomy and physiology of many species (cats, dogs, horses, cows and exotic species), nutrition, microbiology, infectious diseases, internal medicine and surgery. Elective courses are also offered in areas of aquatic and zoo animal medicine, conservation of endangered species, rehabilitation medicine and Eastern medicine such as acupuncture." Krull describes the amount of material that vet students need to absorb as "astronomical," since students must gain an understanding of multiple species and learn about both male and female animals.

Electronic engineers work with various types of electrical systems, including navigational and communications devices. These engineers design, develop and inspect products before companies make them available to customers. An online bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering is designed to teach students the math and science concepts behind circuits and other engineering systems. Classes in these programs also teach students how to design engineering systems and analyze their effectiveness through tests and experimentation. More than 21,000 jobs are projected to be created in this industry between 2016 and 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Electronic engineering may be considered a subset of electrical engineering. Electronic engineers design the components and circuitry inside electronic equipment, which is typically a computer or computer-related device, and make sure that they function properly. Electrical engineers work to transmit power throughout an entire mechanical object, whereas electronic engineers work with circuits that are designed to receive input and perform a task. An online electronic engineering program offers flexibility for students who are also working professionals. Web-based programs typically follow the same rigorous curricula as brick-and-mortar options, leading to similar advancement opportunities for graduates. | https://www.usnews.com/education/online-education/electronic-engineering-bachelors-degree |

Content: The plurality of abortions – about 44% – occur in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy, USAFacts reports. Democratic presidential contenders uniformly support abortion rights in general, mirroring the views of most rank-and-file members of their party. There are some nuances, when it comes to rhetoric and policy – with some saying abortion should be "rare," though legal, and others appearing more open to some kinds of restrictions. Where the 2020 Candidates Stand on Abortion
Former Vice President Joe Biden
Biden has evolved on abortion – from saying in 1973 that Roe had gone too far to saying now that he supports Roe and would push for legislation to enshrine abortion rights if the Supreme Court overturns Roe. Biden says he "accepts my (Catholic) church's position that life begins at conception," but does not think that religious view should be imposed on others. He sas a longtime supporter of the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding for abortion under programs like Medicaid. After an outcry in June, when it was clear he was alone among Democratic contenders in that position, he reversed himself, saying he could not support a rule that made abortion access dependent on "someone's ZIP code." As a senator, Biden voted no on legislation to define a fetus as a child for the purposes of the health program SCHIP. He also voted in favor of a bill banning late-term abortions, but has not weighed in on that issue as a presidential candidate. Political Cartoons on Women’s Issues

For instance, she says, in the human resources field, "Not every company is going to view an online degree in HR equally." 3. Accreditation is particularly important. Especially for lesser-known schools, employers will often verify whether an online program is accredited, meaning an outside authority ensures the program meets high standards of quality. "The key for most of our clients and how we guide them is that the online degree is coming from an accredited programor school, and that really is the difference in what we're looking for," says Massad from Insperity. 4. Some employers prefer nonprofit over for-profit programs
A stigma remains about for-profit online degree programs– which have faced widespread criticism about low completion rates and questionable recruitment practices in recent years, among employers, experts say – though some are becoming more receptive. "My guess would be that if you've got five really qualified applicants, and one of them has the for-profit degree, it could work against them," Greg Keller, chief operating officer at the District of Columbia-based national recruiting firm Bloomfield & Company, told U.S. Newsin 2016. | https://www.usnews.com/higher-education/online-education/slideshows/10-things-employers-think-about-your-online-degree |

Answering that question can reveal a candidate's decision-making abilities, particularly about working in different types of settings, one expert told U.S. News. "I flat-out told them, 'I don't have the time to spend driving to these locations when I'm working full time, with a family,'" Billy Parsons, who earned his MBA online at the for-profit Capella University, told U.S. News. 8.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal" Sealed the Deal in 1932
Mark Twain and Henry James both used it, but it was FDR who etched it into the history books.
The 'New Deal' Sealed the Deal
Content: People in Iowa and Minnesota armed themselves to prevent banks from foreclosing on their farms. And by the summer of 1932, some 25,000 World War I vets had descended on Washington, camping out near the steps of Congress and asking for money. When they were forced out of the city at bayonet point, revolution seemed very much in the air. No wonder Americans wanted a reshuffling of the cards they'd been dealt. It mattered little to the public that Roosevelt had no idea what the New Deal would entail. " I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people," Roosevelt told the convention during his acceptance speech. Once in office, Roosevelt pushed a litter of new programs into existence, each marked by an acronym synonymous with New Deal legislation: the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), the CWA (Civil Works Administration), and the WPA (Works Progress Administration), to name but a few. But the New Deal's eventual impact went beyond staving off social upheaval, re-establishing trust in the currency, and putting people back to work. " It was the first time that Americans thought of their government as a solution to the problems that individuals and society at large were experiencing," says Jean Edward Smith, a political science professor at Marshall University and author of FDR. | https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2008/01/17/the-new-deal-sealed-the-deal |

Terrorism followed by violent crackdowns can become a cyclethat is difficult to disrupt. Recently, terrorist groups have begun using the internet and the media to spread fear and impact public opinion with their political or social message. For instance, the Islamic State has been prolific in using the internetto recruit followers. States also use terrorism tactics. For instance, states can sponsor terrorist groups in other countries in order to support foreign policies or safeguard their own national interest.

Some are ethnically based separatism movements, like the Irish Republican Army or Palestine Liberation Organization. The former cartel of Medellinis considered narco-terrorists because they combine terrorist tactics with drug trafficking. Movements led by the extreme left like Colombia's FARC are an example of terrorism inspired by a socioeconomic doctrine – in this case, a belief in communism. Many terrorist groups are inspired by a specific interpretation of religious or prophetic scriptures. Al-Qaida and IS are two related groups that justify their violent action as a crusade against nonbelievers. IS wants to establish a Caliphate, or an Islamic-ruled state.

Content: Globalization Has Boosted Income Inequality
More
A new report has linked globalization, executive compensation and income inequality. Elaine Thompson/AP
Globalization's rise in recent decades has widened income inequality in the U.S. while padding executives' pockets, according to a studyput out by the National Bureau of Economic Research that directly links globalized commerce with the country's prominent wage gap. Researchers from the University of Colorado–Boulder and Williams College in Massachusetts surveyed executive compensation at thousands of U.S. companies between 1993 and 2013 and concluded that "recent globalization trends have increased U.S. inequality by disproportionately raising top incomes." "Globalization and income inequality are currently the two most important economic issues, with dissatisfaction about both of these forces shaping elections throughout the developed world," the researchers said. " The source of globalization's impact on top incomes matters because it influences society's willingness to tolerate inequality." Extensive research efforts in recent years have looked at executive pay dynamics, income inequality and the effects of globalization, but seldom have the three topics been tackled simultaneously. On the CEO compensation front, the left-leaning Economic Policy Institutein 2015 found executive pay had grown by 997 percent between 1978 and 2014, while the average compensation for a private-sector production and nonsupervisory worker increased by just 10.9 percent.

That trend in higher executive pay appears to have coincided with broader and disproportionate upper-income gains in the U.S. when compared with gains for middle- and lower-income Americans. The Pew Research Centerin 2015 calculated that upper-income households saw their pay rise 47 percent between 1970 and 2014. Middle-income households enjoyed a median gain of only 34 percent over that window, while lower-income households posted a softer 28 percent gain. | https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2017-05-08/globalization-boosted-income-inequality-study-says |

Content: Russia is active. And activity attracts people's attention. Activity, action, is what people see, and in many of these countries it is viewed as effective action, for Russia." In speaking to Americans during travels around the country Wohlforth believes they have a largely inflated sense of Russia's importance, due in part to reports of its perceived success abroad. It has successfully convinced at least some observers that its intervention in Syria has succeeded in its goals of preserving the regime of Bashar Assad and contributed to defeating the Islamic Stategroup, and perhaps showing that Russia is capable of sidelining the U.S. Meanwhile America remains locked in an intractable conflict in Afghanistan where the Pentagon is considering yet another surge of forces in support of a fledgling local military. The contrast is stark amid the long list of U.S. interventions in the last two decades – Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, Mali – versus a post Cold War Russia that has only recently returned to overt international operations. "Russia's emergence on the international stage as a powerful player moved Western media to ascribe to Putin – and Russia – omnipotent qualities," says Ivan Kurilla, a professor at the European University at Saint Petersburg. " Putin was featured more than once on the cover of Time magazine, and Russia was in almost every single media outlet issue since the end of 2016. Certainly, it resulted in the growing perception of Russia as a powerful player. Cold War rhetoric legacy has also helped to frame 'Russia debate' in the West as debate about arch-enemy." | https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2018-05-01/data-americans-consider-china-russia-more-powerful-than-us |

A record number of Americans are renouncing their citizenship. In just the first half of this year, 5,315 Americans gave up their citizenship. That puts the country on track to see a record-breaking 10,000 people renounce U.S. citizenship in 2020. Until a decade ago, fewer than 1,000 Americans per year, on average, chose to renounce their citizenship. Why are so many people abandoning the United States? The financial factor
While many liberal Americans threatened to move abroad after Trump's election in 2016, rising renunciations are not directly attributable to any particular election result. The trend began in 2013, mid-way through the Obama administration. | https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2020-09-09/americans-renouncing-us-citizenship-in-record-numbers |

While many liberal Americans threatened to move abroad after Trump's election in 2016, rising renunciations are not directly attributable to any particular election result. The trend began in 2013, mid-way through the Obama administration. That year about 3,000 Americans suddenly gave up their passports – three times more than usual. Nor are people fleeing the U.S. because of the coronavirus. The paperwork for the 5,315 renunciations completed so far this year began long before COVID-19 ravaged the country and made Americans global pariahs. In fact, most Americans giving up their U.S. passport already live abroad and hold another citizenship. In surveys and testimonials, these people say they're dropping their U.S. citizenship because American anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism regulations make it too onerous and expensive to keep. | https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2020-09-09/americans-renouncing-us-citizenship-in-record-numbers |

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation Friday making Illinois the fourth state to requiring public schools to teach LGBT history. "One of the best ways to overcome intolerance is through education and exposure to different people and viewpoints," said bill sponsor state Sen. Heather Steans (D-Chicago), according to the Washington Examiner. The law, which goes into effect in July 2020, requires textbooks purchased with state grant funds to "include the roles and contributions of all people protected under the Illinois Human Rights Act." It states that "the teaching of history in the United States shall include a study of the roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the history of this country."

California became the first state to pass a law requiring schools to teach LGBT history in 2011, followed by Colorado and New Jersey in 2019. Civil rights and advocacy groups have praised these states for expanding their definitions of American history in the classroom. "Our youth deserve to see how diverse Amerian history truly is — and how they can be a part of it one day, too," said Christian Fuscarino, executive director of the advocacy group Garden State Equality. But the laws also have their fair share of critics, including Barnegat, New Jersey, Mayor Alfonso Cirulli, also a former assistant principal, who said "the government has no right to teach our kids morality," according to the Asbury Park Press. | https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2019-08-14/states-that-require-schools-to-teach-lgbt-history |

Pushback from state officials, conservative groups and parents is one of the reasons why the law's implementation has been so slow in California, which didn't approve its first LGBT-inclusive textbooks for K-8 classrooms until 2017. "We haven't seen these schools get on board with these new textbooks yet," Dominic Le Fort, executive director of the California-based nonprofit group Queer Education that works with schools on how to teach LGBT topics, told The Bay Area Reporter. " We have seen a lot of schools dragging their feet." Implementation in New Jersey and Illinois could also be slow since individual schools and districts will implement the laws locally, meaning that they can choose their own standards regarding the integration of LGBT history into their curriculum. Despite this new wave of efforts to integrate LGBT content into the classroom, six states – Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas – still have laws prohibiting the "promotion of homosexuality." | https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2019-08-14/states-that-require-schools-to-teach-lgbt-history |

GLSEN called said these laws "foster an unsafe and unwelcoming school atmosphere," and cited its study showing that LGBTQ students in these states are likely to have less support in school from teachers and students.

Climate Change Caused California Drought
The science behind the drought is unquestionable.
Content: What we are seeing now is fundamentally different from previous mega-droughts, because they were driven by precipitation. Now, thanks to higher temperatures driven by climate change, droughts are increasingly temperature-driven, she said in 2014. A recent paleoclimate study found that, while precipitation levels throughout the drought were extremely low, it was largely the remarkable, record-high temperatures that made this drought stand out as the worst to hit the area in 1,200 years. Reflecting this trend, 2014 was the warmest year on record in California by an unprecedented margin. Warming temperatures have been behind a significant increase in drought in the state during the past 100 years. New research shows how warmer baseline conditions, driven by climate change, have increased the frequency and severity of drought conditions in California, increasing the chance that low rainfall years will produce drought. A recent risk analysis found that the probability of concurrent droughts and heat waves leading to extreme events like the California drought is much higher than previously estimated due to global warming. Changing weather patterns due to global warming may have contributed to the reduced precipitation. In 2013 and 2014, a high-pressure zone formed over the Pacific Ocean, diverting precipitation toward Alaska (where the record warmth and precipitation caused avalanches ). While these zones are common, they normally quickly change position. | https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/at-the-edge/2015/04/14/climate-change-and-the-california-drought |

The science behind the drought is unquestionable.
Content: Finally, a recent NASA study added to the science linking such high-pressure zones to extreme low precipitation in California . Looking over the past century, total annual precipitation in California has declined slightly . Since 2000, precipitation has been below average in 9 of 14 years. One of the hallmarks of climate change is that, on average, wet regions are getting wetter and dry regions are getting drier . The southwestern United States is one such dry region, and the Colorado River (which provides much of the water used in Southern California), is experiencing drought conditions “ nearly unrivaled in 1,250 years ." The fingerprint of global warming has been found in the climate change contribution to the severity and duration of the recent drought afflicting the southwest. The Rocky Mountains are unable to provide the water that Southern California needs, just as the Sierra Nevada cannot provide relief for Northern California. As hotter temperatures dry out crops and precipitation is scarce, groundwater withdrawals increase. A recent study found that the greater demands on the groundwater supply and the rapid rate of depletion may threaten the groundwater supply in multiple Western states for many years to come. Groundwater has an immensely long rate of recharge, and according to this research, the rate of groundwater depletion during the drought is almost six times greater than that of surface water. | https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/at-the-edge/2015/04/14/climate-change-and-the-california-drought |

Per-pupil spending includes funds used for direct instruction, as well as student support services such as social work, guidance, health and psychological services, speech pathology and audiology. Per-student dollars also flow to general support services such as instructional staff support, general and school administration, operations and maintenance costs and student transportation. Overall, spending for instruction decreased by 3.3 percent from 2011 to 2012, and total support services decreased by 2.5 percent. Per-student spending ranged from a low of $6,441 in Utah to a high of $19,847 in the District of Columbia. States with large and medium student populations of more than 400,000 generally spent less per student than states with smaller student populations under 400,000 students. States with lower per-student spending generally spent slightly more on capital outlay expenses for property and construction. [

Of the 15 states with more than 1 million students (categorized as "large"), just five spent more than the national average per student. Texas, for example, has the second-highest student population (just over 5 million), but its per-student spending is $8,213, below the national average of $10,667.

Clinton later confessed that he did indeed have an "improper physical relationship" with Monica Lewinksky, a 24-year-old White House intern. For his deceit, Clinton became the second president in American history impeached by the House of Representatives—the second step required for removal from office, a Senate trial, failed to eject Clinton.

In the years since Clinton introduced Lewinsky to his cigar collection, other politicians have humiliated themselves. In 2011 a congressman named Weiner—whose wedding was officiated by Clinton—tweeted a photo of his, ahem, wiener. In 2007 a conservative senator who described Clinton as a "nasty, bad, naughty boy" was arrested for soliciting sex in a men's restroom. But the Lewinsky scandal remains the king of all American sex scandals. Press Past brings you an exhaustive report from the Feb. 2, 1998 issue of U.S. News covering the growing scandal.

In some ways, Bill Clinton's career in national politics amounts to a sustained test of public tolerance for ethical controversy. So far, the limits of that tolerance have proved very broad. He has survived—even at times thrived—despite a steady procession of controversies that trace all the way back to the celebrated 60 Minutes interview, exactly six years ago this week, in which he introduced himself to the American public by in effect admitting that he had been unfaithful to his wife. But the case of Monica Lewinsky, the 24-year-old former White House intern who has claimed in taped recordings to have conducted a sexual affair with the president, may test those limits like never before. If the allegations are true, the woman—the "girl," her lawyer keeps calling her—was only a few years older than Chelsea Clinton is now when she began a sexual relationship with Clinton. If the allegations are true, the affair began while he was president, not before; after he began a life in which every action was scrutinized, not before; with someone who worked for him, not with him—with someone described by friends as gushy and giggly. If the allegations are true, he didn't encourage her merely to fib to the press (as he once seemed to urge Gennifer Flowers) but actually to lie under oath. | https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/press-past/2013/01/25/bill-clinton-15-years-ago-i-did-not-have-sexual-relations-with-that-woman |

Ominously for the White House, Lewinsky's sworn denial of the affair hardly seemed ironclad. Her lawyer, Los Angeles attorney William H. Ginsburg, said that she stood by her statement "at this time." Even some of Clinton's initial denials seemed phrased with unusual, lawyerly precision. Asked by National Public Radio if he had "any conversations" with Lewinsky about her testimony, Clinton did not respond with a blanket denial. Instead, he said that "given the state of the investigation, it would be inappropriate" for him to expand on his earlier assertions that he didn't ask anyone "to tell anything other than the truth." So careful were Clinton's responses, and so high were the stakes, that analysts scrutinized his remarks with rabbinical care. | https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/press-past/2013/01/25/bill-clinton-15-years-ago-i-did-not-have-sexual-relations-with-that-woman |
