Content: 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. When Clinton initially said there "is" no sexual relationship between him and Lewinsky, reporters wondered whether that included previous sexual contact; Clinton later denied a sexual relationship in the past tense, too. It was a sign of the fevered atmosphere that some in Washington even seized on Clinton's use of the phrase "sexual relationship." On Friday, in his National Journal column, noted legal writer Stuart Taylor questioned whether Clinton chose that construction to artfully allow the possibility that he had engaged in oral sex with Lewinsky. ( In similar scandals, other politicians have claimed that extramarital oral sex did not constitute adultery—a distinction that some allege Clinton has made as well.) | 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 |

Preparing for a Voter Surge
Experts predict record voter turnout in 2020, but will it materialize?

Content: It doesn't work." Trump, Braynard says his own research shows, did best among those who initially said they were least likely to vote in the 2016 election – and the GOP will need them again next year. Democrats, meanwhile, are eyeing another opportunity: votes from the "emerging American electorate," younger and minority voters who comprise an increasing chunk of the electorate but didn't turn out in high enough numbers in 2016 to elect Democrat Hillary Clinton. Activists are starting early this cycle with voter registration efforts – not only in states Democrats almost certainly need to get back in 2020 for an Electoral College win (Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin) but in states with substantial Latino or African American populations, such as Arizona, Georgia, Florida and Texas. Texas is not considered a battleground state now but has been moving toward that status, largely because of increased urbanization. Registration does not always translate into a vote at the ballot box, but it's a critical indicator in the U.S. Less than 56% of voting-age Americans turned out to vote in 2016, putting the nation 26th among 35 industrialized democracies, a 2018 Pew Research Center study reported. But the study also found that nearly 87% of registered voters cast a ballot that year, indicating that getting eligible voters registered is a key hurdle. Sanders on the Trail

Other hurdles to registration and voting remain, however, in some states that have passed laws making it harder to register people to vote or which have reduced polling places. Some of those efforts are being challenged in the courts. | https://www.usnews.com/news/elections/articles/2019-09-20/experts-predict-huge-turnout-in-2020 |

Social Media Use May Increase Teens Risk of Mental Health Issues

For some adolescents and teenagers, using social media like Twitter or Instagram can be as easy as breathing, and costs about as much. But a new study released Wednesday suggests there could be a hidden price: their mental health. [

Young people who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media are susceptible to depression, anxiety and other illnesses and are more likely to internalize bad feelings about themselves, according to the study produced by Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. "Time spent on social media may increase the risk of experiencing cyberbullying, which has a strong association with depressive symptoms," according to the study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, an online platform of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Kira E. Riehm, the paper's lead author and researcher at the Bloomberg School of Public Health, says social media use "has exploded in the past few decades among adolescents." But it comes at a hazardous time, she says, because "adolescence is a time where a lot of mental health problems have their onsets." "It's important to consider that every minute that adolescents spend on social media, they're not doing something else," says Riehm. " It might be socializing (with friends) face to face, it might be exercising" or something else to support their mental health. But it might be difficult to break the grip between young people and social media -- something that's ubiquitous and seemingly an extension of their personal lives. "A 2018 Pew Research Center poll found that 97% of adolescents report using at least 1 of the 7 most popular social media platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Reddit)," according to the study.

Data was examined for some 6,600 adolescents ages 12 to 15 who reported spending time on social media during a typical day but who also reported mental health difficulties, according to the study. After weighing factors including mental health history, the research found that the youngsters who spent more than three hours a day on social media were more likely to report "internalizing" their problems, including depression, anxiety and loneliness, along with symptoms like aggression and antisocial behavior, compared with adolescents who didn't use social media, according to the study. "In fact, the (data) suggest that if adolescents using social media for more than 30 minutes per day had instead used it for 30 minutes or less, there would have been 9.4% fewer high internalizing problem cases and 7.3% fewer high externalizing problem cases," according to the study. It's a correlation, but researchers point out "this is not meant to imply that reductions in mental health problems would definitely happen if social media use were reduced or that all social media use is harmful." Though the data suggests a link between excessive use and mental health issues, Riehm says "a lot of positive things" can come from connections teens make over social media. Besides providing an online support system for marginalized young people, like those in the LGBTQ community, "who can be isolated in their day-to-day lives," she says, Snapchat and other platforms also can help keep adolescents informed about current events.

But what can a president actually accomplish? There are stark limits to executive power. In fact, there's not very much a president can do without cooperation from Congress or the Supreme Court. Here are a few common questions and misconceptions about what is – and isn't – within the president's power. Can the president repeal a constitutional amendment, like the right to bear arms? No. The president does not have the ability to repeal any amendment of the Constitution. To repeal a constitutional amendment, another constitutional amendment has to be passed (like when the 21st Amendment was passed to repeal the 18th, which banned the manufacture and sale of alcohol). | https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2016-10-31/what-can-the-president-really-do |

It went to full dollarization in 2000 after a financial crisis that saw its own former currency, the sucre, collapse so badly that people started putting their holdings into dollars, unofficially dollarizing the country’s economy. The government simply went ahead and made the switch official. That makes it very simple for Americans to travel in Ecuador. No going to the foreign exchange window.

As gas prices have fallen dramatically across the country, congressmen from both sides of the aisle have proposed raising the gas tax to increase funding for America's aging highways and bridges. Maintaining or increasing spending on highways is urgent, given that one-third of the nation's roads may be in poor or mediocre condition while a quarter of its bridges are in need of repair, according to the Federal Highway Administration. To continue to pay its share of highway funding, the federal government has diverted approximately $70 billion from the general fund since 2008. Given huge federal deficits, the federal government cannot afford to continue doing this. But before resorting to raising the tax burden on the American public, Congress should explore ways it can free up more money for highway projects by reforming federal highway policy. [

More than 20 percent of fuel tax revenue goes toward purposes other than funding highway construction or maintenance. If the Federal Highway Administration spent less on those other purposes, billions more could be freed up for building and maintaining highways. For example, the administration could save $2.4 billion if the Highway Safety Improvement Program were eliminated and each state were permitted to decide how much of its own money to spend on safety improvement. The goal of the safety improvement program is to provide funds to help state and local governments achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. To receive funds, each state must create and update a Strategic Highway Safety Plan on an annual basis – and each state must collect data measuring the safety of its public roads. Each state also has an incentive to make its roads safer to benefit its residents and to attract tourists. If the Federal Highway Administration provides funds for safety, the federal government must decide how to divide the money between states. | https://www.usnews.com/opinion/economic-intelligence/2015/05/11/congress-can-fix-the-highway-trust-fund-without-raising-the-gas-tax |

The impact of federal priorities on Highway Safety Improvement Program spending is illustrated by the Railway-Highways grade crossing program. The safety improvement program requires that states prioritize spending to enhance safety at highway-rail grade crossings, with $220 million set aside each year for this purpose. Some states do not have a high number of accidents at these locations. Nevertheless, all states are required to spend a substantial portion of the Highway Safety Improvement Program money for this purpose, even if that money could make stronger safety gains if applied to another area. This program is one example of how spending on a program that does not fund highway construction or maintenance reduces the amount of revenue from user fees that is available to maintain existing highways and build new ones. If highway trust fund money were used exclusively for highway construction and maintenance, the federal government could fund highways entirely from fuel tax revenue without having to increase the tax much, if at all. | https://www.usnews.com/opinion/economic-intelligence/2015/05/11/congress-can-fix-the-highway-trust-fund-without-raising-the-gas-tax |

Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month with 5 Stories of Hispanic American Military Heroes
By Danielle DeSimone
Throughout U.S. history, Hispanic Americans have served proudly and bravely in all branches of our nation’s military. In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 - October 15, the USO is taking a moment to highlight the incredible courage and valor of five Hispanic Americans who put their duty before themselves. 1. Marcelino Serna

In search of work and a better life, Marcelino Serna emigrated from Mexico into the U.S. in 1916, when he was just 20 years old. He settled in Texas where he worked illegally for several years until federal authorities detained him to verify his war draft status. Despite being a Mexican citizen, and to show his dedication to becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen, Serna begged the officials to allow him to enlist in the U.S. Army, rather than deport him. At the time, the horrific conditions of the trenches of World War I were common knowledge. Consequently, volunteers to enlist were not always easy to come by. Impressed by Serna’s offer, the federal officials allowed him to join the Army. | https://www.uso.org/stories/2469-hispanic-american-military-heroes |

Serna refused and insisted on serving. While engaged with the enemy in France, Serna noticed a wounded German sniper and followed him back to his trench, where Serna threw three grenades, killing 26 enemy soldiers and capturing 24 more. Later, Gen. John J. Pershing awarded him with the Distinguished Service Cross, the second-highest U.S. military decoration. He was the first Hispanic American to receive the Distinguished Service Cross. | https://www.uso.org/stories/2469-hispanic-american-military-heroes |

Content: In an attempt to secure a key defensive position from the Japanese, Martínez led several assaults on enemy-filled trenches. In his determination, Martínez sometimes eliminated entire trenches of enemies entirely by himself. The other men, inspired by his bravery, followed him. Martínez was mortally wounded when approaching the final enemy-occupied trench, but the defensive position was successfully taken by U.S. forces, leading to the end of the battle and – ultimately – Japanese occupation of the Aleutian Islands. 3.

As the U.S. prepared to enter World War II, the government put out a call for women to take on new roles beyond the home. Today, we know these working women in World War II as Rosie the Riveters, WAVES, SPARs and others. These new roles were a big change for women in American society, especially among the Hispanic American population. Back in the 1940s, Hispanic women were often discouraged within their own communities to take on roles outside of domestic life. | https://www.uso.org/stories/2469-hispanic-american-military-heroes |

But for Carmen Contreras-Bozak, a Puerto Rican from New York City, the call to duty was more important than a traditional, domestic lifestyle. Inspired by the War Department and her own sense of patriotism, Contreras-Bozak decided to enlist in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps; she was the first Hispanic American to serve in what would later be known as the Women’s Army Corps. During WWII, the Army specifically recruited bilingual Hispanic women to work in cryptology, communications and interpretation. Contreras-Bozak volunteered to go to North Africa with one of these companies despite the extreme risk (at the beginning of the U.S. involvement in the war, service women were not treated the same as servicemen and did not have the same protections under international law as male soldiers if captured). | https://www.uso.org/stories/2469-hispanic-american-military-heroes |

Eisenhower’s headquarters in Algiers and the battlefield in Tunisia. Their encampment came under German fire often, but Contreras-Bozak continued to work for the general until an infection sent her to a stateside hospital in 1945. She was discharged as a technical sergeant, today’s equivalent of a sergeant (E-4), and received the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, two Battle Stars, a World War II Victory Medal, an American Campaign Medal, a WAAC Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal throughout her time in the Army. 4.

Content: Strength Training for Older Adults (see Resource), Seguin et al provide a highly effective program that is safe, simple, and based on the principles of strength training. 7 According to the authors, worldwide laboratory research has shown that strength training not only benefits both men and women of all ages, but of all levels of fitness as well. 7 Furthermore, such a program can play a role in helping to prevent and treat chronic conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis, among others ( TABLE 3 ). 7 The program was developed at the Nutrition, Exercise Physiology and Sarcopenia Laboratory at Tufts University and includes motivational tips, safety precautions, and specific exercises. It is comprised of three phases: Part I uses an individual's own body weight to strengthen the body slowly and gently; Part II introduces dumbells and ankle weights to increase strength; and Part III adds variety so that new techniques boost strength further. 7
Seguin et al note the goal of Growing Stronger: Strength Training for Older Adults is to help seniors make strength training a lifelong habit. | https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/sarcopenia-loss-of-muscle-mass-in-older-adults |

Seguin et al note the goal of Growing Stronger: Strength Training for Older Adults is to help seniors make strength training a lifelong habit. To that end, the program is tailored to the needs of an older adult and provides step-by-step instructions on getting started, staying on track, and growing stronger and healthier as one ages. 7
Conclusion
Strength-training exercises have the potential to make a profound difference in a senior's physical, mental, and emotional health. It can help both male and female older adults, at all fitness levels, reach toward greater strength and vitality and maintain independence. | https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/sarcopenia-loss-of-muscle-mass-in-older-adults |

Content: This excess is an exhibition of corruption. Although AARP falls under the heading of a 501 (c) (4) tax-exempt nonprofit, their highest paid employee, CEO Barry Rand, receives an annual salary of $575,000 dollars, and he allowed his organization to spend $21 million in support for congressional Democrats in 2009. Even worse, according to the 2011 investigative report prepared by Representatives Wally Herger and Dave Reichert, seven of the 22 board members running the nonprofit activities comprised the entire board for the for-profit arm of the company. The nonprofit subsidiaries of AARP allow the corporate interest of the for-profit branches to meddle in policymaking that directly affects their bottom line. Although they’ve dispersed their business activities across a wide range of nonprofit and for-profit ventures, AARP receives unequal government aid to purportedly better the lives of American senior citizens. The IRS, The Department of Labor, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health and Human Services combined in contributing $83 million to AARP to aid the elderly in 2004. AARP’s programs counsel their members in everything from taxes to Medicare fraud prevention. To provide those special discounts and other benefits to their members, AARP collects $16 annually and then discloses their membership list to for-profit insurance companies. Maintaining seamlessness, these companies provide insurance under AARP’s name, an application of ingenious branding that is then used to drum up political support for the company’s agenda. The Republican Party historically opposes AARP. | https://www.usrepresented.com/2015/08/21/iron-triangles-americas-dirtiest-secret/ |

While any American has the right “to petition the government for redress of grievances,” a majority of lobbyists have corporate or special interest backing. Rarely would one find a small business deep-set within an Iron Triangle framework. Small businesses simply do not have the money or resources to feed a machination this large. When Senators or House Representatives retire, major corporations often hire them as lobbyists or consultants. | https://www.usrepresented.com/2015/08/21/iron-triangles-americas-dirtiest-secret/ |

Ten Reasons Why We Should Pay Attention to Local Politics
by Lindsay Deen
April 10, 2021
in Analysis, Open Channel, Weekly Features
For me, the machinations of the machine we call “American politics” seemed like nothing so much as an overrated reality television show starring criminals and people fully indoctrinated into a failing two-party system. I really didn’t see how I could make a difference with my vote, and I didn’t think it was even worth voting. Then I discovered a really amazing aspect of our political system. The local governments in our cities and towns make real decisions that impact our lives, and they are often available to average citizens. City council meetings are open to the public and accept public commentary. The councilmen and councilwomen will often lend an ear to concerned citizens, even when they don’t agree with us. That’s their job, and when they don’t do what they’re supposed to do, it’s much easier and infinitely more beneficial to one’s local community to oust a member of City Council or a bad mayor than to get rid of a state representative or a senator. After all, it takes less signatures, less votes, and less work. Following are ten reasons why we should pay attention to local politics. 1. | https://www.usrepresented.com/2019/07/09/ten-reasons-pay-attention-local-politics/ |

Depending on how your city or local charter is written, these issues may be handled by your city council or by another local governing body. The details managed by these folks can really pile up, especially if you live in a poorer locality. Often, if you don’t bring the issues up to them, then they will probably never know. 2.

If you don’t talk to them, tell them your concerns, and share your vision for the future, no one will ever hear your voice of dissent. 3. | https://www.usrepresented.com/2019/07/09/ten-reasons-pay-attention-local-politics/ |

In America, we believe in democracy and representative republic. This is because, at the local level, true democracy is possible and perfectly doable. If we don’t participate, democracy inevitably turns into tyranny. The People ultimately rule any democracy, and together, we can work to create communities where finding common ground isn’t all that uncommon. | https://www.usrepresented.com/2019/07/09/ten-reasons-pay-attention-local-politics/ |

If and when your local system is hijacked by those who are considerably richer than average citizens, your local government’s charter is written with safeguards to allow the People to change the laws, rules, and even the functions of government simply by exercising your right to petition, right to vote, and right to freedom of speech. 5. Local politics and local issues often set the precedent for political moves on the state and national level.

Parents and teachers don’t often know what to do about this, but they should know that their local systems have built into them safeguards to protect education. If you’re not happy with state-funded education, the first place to start can be local school board elections. 8. The easiest place to change laws you don’t like is with the local and state government. Luckily, our localities have the ability to change law by petition, and although many cities and localities may try to battle this, slowing average citizens by using a mountain of administrative red tape, eventually, anything with enough support will be given a place on the state or local ballot. | https://www.usrepresented.com/2019/07/09/ten-reasons-pay-attention-local-politics/ |

A great example of this is the movement to legalize marijuana in Colorado. Amendment 64’s passage onto the Colorado State Constitution, while controversial and still debated in many localities, was an act of the People calling for a change they saw as necessary, and many worked together to create this transformation. 9. As concerned citizens, it’s easier to hold politicians accountable locally than nationally. For instance, in Colorado, we recall elected officials all the time when they renege on election promises or make a move politically or in their personal lives with which we don’t agree. | https://www.usrepresented.com/2019/07/09/ten-reasons-pay-attention-local-politics/ |

You can write a letter to them, visit them in person, start a petition to recall them, and even simply vote them out of office when the next election comes around. The number of signatures required to get rid of criminal or displeasing officials at the state or local level is within the reach of dedicated folks, and regular citizens can be the change in these kinds of issues. 10.

Content: Picking the Best Pig
Raising a champion pig is much more than just nurturing it — genetics are also involved. If you want to show pigs, start attending some shows to learn about the different breeds. Speak to the contestants to get an idea of their experience as well as any issues that they might have with their pigs. When you shop for a pig, ask the breeder about their vaccination program. Also, ask some detailed questions about the health of the herd, such as weight and show the results of past siblings. Feeding and Nutrition
Nutrition is an essential element of your pig’s growth and development plan. Pigs are prone to disease, so it’s important to do as much as possible to build up their immune system early. If you buy a pig at a pig sale, you may wish to give them medicated feed for the first two weeks. A young starter pig should receive about 25 lbs of quality pig feed each week. Water should be clean and plentiful at all times as it promotes healthy eating and is crucial to the animal’s growth. | https://www.uswhip.com/blog/how-to-raise-a-winning-show-pig/ |

To get your pig ready for a show, you’ll need to both train and exercise it. Walk your pig each day to build up their stamina. You can also begin working with your pig using a pig whip to steer them in different directions. Tap the pig on the front half of its body as a signal to turn one way or another. Grooming and Appearance
You’ll need to pay particular attention to your pig’s appearance if you hope to have success in shows. | https://www.uswhip.com/blog/how-to-raise-a-winning-show-pig/ |

Content: At UT, students can earn a bachelor's degree and take pre-requisite courses. They will need to choose a major, as pre-vet is not a major or a program at UT. Students who are interested in going to veterinary school typically major in biology, chemistry or biochemistry. These majors include most of the required courses for entrance into veterinary programs. However, other degrees can also prepare students for health professions; thus students are encouraged to major in the field where they excel and should consult the pre-health professions advisor about course work. Basic pre-requisite* courses required for veterinary school: Biology I and II with labs
General Chemistry I and II with labs
Organic Chemistry I and II with labs
Physics I and II with labs
Biochemistry
*Each veterinary school has its own set of pre-requisites, and student’s need to research the admission requirements of each school to which they are intending to apply. Search pre-requisites for each veterinary school. Build an extensive record of relevant experiences

Utility Bill Assistance From LIHEAP
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps families that are struggling keep their power, heat, or electricity on. The federal government funded resource is for lower income families, households living in poverty and the elderly. LIHEAP grants will help them pay their utility bills, including heating and cooling bills. Any financial aid is offered through either annual or crisis grants. You do not need to have an unpaid bill to receive assistance. If it is a non emergency situation that a family needs help with, LIHEAP will provide a one-time cash grant benefit to qualified households that is intended to be used for the payment of energy bills. The amount of the cash benefit paid will be determined by the families income, household size, fuel type used, and also geographic location and the state in which a homeowner lives. Another factor will be how much money the federal government allocates to LIHEAP for a certain year. | https://www.utilitybillassistance.com/html/liheap_assistance_program.html |

Content: In the Whole Health approach, you can look at all areas of your life, including areas of strength and aspects where support could be helpful to you. Self-care is any activity that you do purposely to take care of your mental, emotional, and physical health. You may want to start with just one or two areas. These areas of self-care shown in the Circle of Health include: Mindful Awareness – Being aware of thoughts and feelings to focus on the present. Moving the Body – Exercising and moving for energy, flexibility, and strength. Surroundings – Having comfortable, healthy spaces that support your body and emotions. Personal Development – Moving toward what matters most to you. Food and Drink – Nourishing your body to not only live, but to live well. Recharge – Getting enough sleep, rest, relaxation. | https://www.va.gov/WHOLEHEALTH/features/What_is_the_Circle_of_Health.asp |

Policy Establishes Responsible Use for Web-based Collaboration Tools
WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced today the release of a policy directive regarding the secure use of Web-based collaboration and social media tools. The policy allows the Department and its employees to leverage emerging platforms that enhance communication, stakeholder outreach, and information exchange as the Department transforms itself into a 21 st Century organization attuned to the needs of Veterans of all generations. “Veterans should have consistent and convenient access to reliable VA information real time using social media —whether on a smartphone or a computer,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “ They also should be able to communicate directly with appropriate VA employees electronically.” The policy, “VA Directive 6515: Use of Web-Based Collaboration Technologies,” encourages the adoption and use of social media by VA employees. It provides workplace boundaries and establishes the Department’s philosophy for communication: VA is open and transparent, and VA is willing and able to engage and collaborate with its many stakeholders online. “This isn’t about using social media because it’s cool or because it’s a fad,” said VA Director of Online Communications Brandon Friedman. “ It’s about getting the right information to the right Veteran at the right time. | https://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=2150 |

VA’s Facebook pages have a combined subscribership of over 293,000 fans—with the Department’s main page reaching over 138,000.

In November 2010, VA launched its first blog, VAntage Point, which distinguishes itself from other government blogs by actively soliciting guest pieces from both employees and the public. By the end of the year, the Department expects to have an active Facebook page and Twitter feed for all 152 VA Medical Centers. More information: VA Directive 6515 (Social Media Policy)

Content: In taking the time to study fields that may be outside of their direct role, a leader will be better able to handle issues as they arise in a creative and agile fashion. 5. Focus on time management
A leader is not going to be much use to anyone if they are consistently running behind on projects and don’t have enough time to actually lead. In focusing on proper time management, a leader can make sure that they set a good example and are available for their team. 6. Creating a culture of mentorship
A key role of a leader is to foster leadership in others. Being able to identify and develop those skills in team members is an important aspect of a leader’s job, and is essential in the development of a leadership culture within an organization. This involves coaching, giving actionable feedback, and paying attention to how team members are approaching challenging projects. 7. Improve communication practices
A leader is only as effective as their communication. | https://www.valamis.com/hub/leadership-development-plan |

A leader is only as effective as their communication. Great ideas and active mentorship won’t go far if a leader’s communication style lets them down.

So, how to improve leadership skills within your organization? You should start with a leadership development plan. It is the roadmap of how your organization is going to nurture leadership skills in employees of all levels. It should cover goals that align with both strategic business needs and interpersonal, or more human, needs. | https://www.valamis.com/hub/leadership-development-plan |

Suggested Goat & Sheep Vaccination Schedule
Lambs and Kids: Vaccinate for C, D and T (Clostridium perfringens type C & D plus tetanus) by 8 weeks of age, with a booster dose 4 weeks later. If blackleg is prevalent in your area, Covexin 8 can be used instead, to protect against blackleg as well as overeating disease and tetanus. Vaccinate for pasteurella caused by Mannheimia haemolytica at 8-12 weeks of age, with a booster at 12-16 weeks of age. Elective vaccines to consider based on risk of exposure include those protecting against Caseous lymphadenitis and Sore mouth. Ewes, Rams, Does and Bucks: Vaccinate for the same diseases mentioned above. If previously vaccinated, booster with one dose annually, preferably 2-4 weeks prior to giving birth so that protection is passed through the colostrum to the newborns. In addition, breeding stock may be vaccinated for reproductive diseases caused by Chlamydia and Campylobacter. | https://www.valleyvet.com/library/sheep_vaccine.html |

How to paint new plaster
Painting a newly plastered wall requires more preparation than painting a normal wall. You can’t start painting new plaster directly and instead, have to take steps to seal the plaster so you can get the colourful finish you want.

How to paint new plaster
Painting a newly plastered wall requires more preparation than painting a normal wall. You can’t start painting new plaster directly and instead, have to take steps to seal the plaster so you can get the colourful finish you want. What you’ll need
Emulsion for the mist coat
Water
Dust sheets
Decorator’s tape or masking tape
Topcoat paint
Paintbrush or roller
1. Let the plaster dry
The very first thing you need to do when painting new plaster is to let it dry. A week should be long enough to let it completely dry out and for all damp patches to disappear. Once the plaster is dry it should be light with no dark spots and a consistent colour and appearance throughout. Your plaster will dry quicker with a heater or if you open a window. If you try to apply paint to wet plaster this can cause adhesion problems. Applying emulsion to wet plaster also means that it may not bond properly and you could find that it peels off your wall. Painting on dried plaster can also cause the paint to dry very fast, leaving you with irregular brush strokes and an uneven finish. | https://www.valsparpaint.co.uk/help-advice/how-to-paint-new-plaster/ |

What you’ll need

2. Mix a mist coat
3. Apply the mist coat and let it dry
4. Apply the topcoat
Content: So to combat this, you need to apply a mist coat. While the plaster is drying, put down dust sheets and use your tape to protect any fixtures and fittings – applying a mist coat can be very messy! 2. Mix a mist coat
A mist coat is made of watered-down emulsion paint and acts as a primer. The extra moisture gives the wall something to absorb so your topcoat should stick. Alternatively, you can use a water-based primer which saves you the mess of making a mist coat. All our primers are water-based and will help you achieve an even and colourful finish. To make a mist coat, mix three parts emulsion with one part water. You should always check the paint tin for the manufacturer’s instructions as ratios can vary. You don’t have to use exactly the same paint you’ve chosen for the final topcoat but you should use a similar colour for an even finish. | https://www.valsparpaint.co.uk/help-advice/how-to-paint-new-plaster/ |

There are two different ways you can apply the mist coat. If you choose to use a roller, you’ll cover the wall much quicker but it will be very messy as rollers can splatter paint very easily. Alternatively, a paintbrush will take much longer but you shouldn’t have as many drips to deal with. | https://www.valsparpaint.co.uk/help-advice/how-to-paint-new-plaster/ |

However, you choose to apply the coat, work in smooth upward motions until you cover the entire wall. The mist coat is very runny so whenever you spot drips or streaks, paint over them quickly to prevent them from drying and ruining your perfect finish. Wait 24 hours for your mist coat to dry before you apply the topcoat. 4. Apply the topcoat
As soon as your mist coat has dried you can decorate normally. | https://www.valsparpaint.co.uk/help-advice/how-to-paint-new-plaster/ |

How Health Insurance Covers Sonograms
What to Expect, When You’re Expecting to Pay Some Part of Your Sonograms
Content: The FDA and several medical groups like the American Medical Association and The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists warn women against this practice. How Health Insurance Covers Sonograms
To comply with the Affordable Care Act, health insurers must cover preventive care including "many services necessary for prenatal care" with no cost-sharing, according to The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That means, no deductible, no copay, no-coinsurance, literally no out-of-pocket cost to the insured beyond the premium. Certain tests are mentioned in the legislation and subsequent guidance, including a screening for gestational diabetes, however, no specific mention is made of radiology, which is the category that includes ultrasounds. Most insurance companies have interpreted the Affordable Care Act’s requirements on prenatal coverage with no cost-sharing to exclude ultrasounds. As United Healthcare explained in a 2013 document for those they insured: " Prenatal services not covered under the women’s preventive coverage include, but are not limited to, radiology services, delivery and high-risk prenatal services. While radiology services like obstetrical ultrasounds may be part of routine prenatal care, they are not included under the health reform law. A copayment, coinsurance or deductible may apply for these services." As of June 2015, information on United Healthcare’s website on women’s preventive services reiterates this position. | https://www.valuepenguin.com/cost-sonogram-ultrasound-pregnancy |

Costs of Common Prenatal Tests
by Sterling Price updated March 9, 2021
When you’re pregnant, you should have regular prenatal visits with a medical provider, usually an obstetrician, a midwife or your family practitioner. Besides measuring your blood pressure, weight, abdomen size and fetal heart rate, the doctor might order tests to screen for potential pregnancy problems or birth defects. Some of these tests are recommended for all pregnant women as part of preventive prenatal care, and should be fully covered by insurance, with no cost to you. These include routine screenings for gestational diabetes, anemia, bacteria in your urine, and a number of sexually transmitted infections. Other tests are available to look for chromosomal abnormalities or other problems with the pregnancy. Depending on your insurance plan specifics, you may have to help cover their cost. Below, you’ll find information about some the most common tests women get during pregnancy: First Trimester Prenatal Screening Tests
Second Trimester Tests
Chorionic Villus Sampling
Amniocentesis
Other Common Tests During Pregnancy
First Trimester Prenatal Screening Tests
What are they? A combination of an ultrasound and a blood test, each looking at specific factors that can indicate the presence of a birth defect. The ultrasound is performed between 11 and 14 weeks and will measure the back of your baby’s neck, among other parts of the anatomy. | https://www.valuepenguin.com/costs-common-prenatal-tests |

Content: What will you pay? If you’re uninsured, you’re responsible for the entire amount. If your insurer classifies these tests as routine prenatal care, they may be covered with no cost to you. Otherwise, your share of the payment is determined by the structure of your insurance plan. For example, you might have a $25 co-pay for laboratory tests (the bloodwork), and a $75 co-pay for radiology procedures (the ultrasound.) Or you might be responsible for all costs up to your deductible, and a percentage of them after that, until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum for the year. Second Trimester Prenatal Screening Tests
What are they? Prenatal screen tests that are common during the second trimester include: blood tests for things like alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), hCG, Estriol, and Inhibin. Abnormal results may mean you need additional testing. | https://www.valuepenguin.com/costs-common-prenatal-tests |

Content: Most insurance plans will cover the test if you have risk factors for chromosomal abnormalities in your baby, but you might have to help pay for the costs. Some insurers require prior authorization for an amniocentesis, so it’s best to call the number on the back of your card to find out the specifics. An amniocentesis can lead to various bills, like for physician fees, procedure fees, and lab fees. Your portion will depend on your insurance plan. Without insurance, you’d be responsible for the entire cost. Other Common Tests During Pregnancy
Other tests a pregnant woman might need include genetic tests, a group B strep culture, fetal monitoring, or a 24-hour urine test for preeclampsia. As with the other examples, her costs will depend on whether or not she has insurance, how much her provider bills for them, and how her insurance covers them. While more plans are charging more of the costs of care to the insured patient in recent years—average deductibles for both in- and out-of-network care have more than doubled since 2009, according to the Advisory Board—some still have generous coverage for pregnancy. Women who’ve been pregnant in recent years, especially those who are insured through large employers, have reported relatively reasonable co-pays and other out-of-pocket costs. Still, read your own plan literature closely, and make a careful selection when you choose a health insurance plan, if pregnancy costs are in your future. | https://www.valuepenguin.com/costs-common-prenatal-tests |

Home Insurance Cancellation, Nonrenewal and Policy Lapses
by Chris Moon updated March 4, 2021
Homeowners insurance cancellation, nonrenewal and policy-lapsing are all different forms of discontinuation and each have their own set of consequences. This guide explains exactly why your insurance company may have terminated your coverage, what each means and how they impact a policyholder. Homeowners insurance cancellation
Nonrenewal of home insurance policy
What to do when your policy lapses
Homeowners insurance cancellation
A carrier cannot cancel a homeowners policy more than 60 days after it was purchased unless a policyholder fails to pay their premium, or committed fraud and seriously misrepresented themselves in their application. For example, if a carrier discovers a policyholder lied about their identity and applied for a policy under another individual’s name, an insurer have the right to cancel that policy. Another reason behind a policy cancellation might be a deterioration of the condition of the home that increases the risk beyond what an insurer is willing to cover. For example, say a carrier insures a home then a policyholder makes some type of drastic change to the structure. If the changes make the home uninsurable, based on the company's own determination, they will cancel the policy. A cancellation also might take place if a homeowners insurance company discovers a home is vacant. Most home insurance policies require policyholders to notify their insurer if a home is vacant for 30 days or more at a time. Uninhabited homes are more susceptible to crime and higher claims. | https://www.valuepenguin.com/homeowners-insurance-cancellation-nonrenewal-and-policy-lapses |

Nonrenewal of a Home Insurance Policy
What to do when your homeowners insurance policy lapses
Content: Those who have their homeowners insurance policy cancelled for any reason frequently have trouble getting coverage in the months that follow. Should you find yourself in a position where companies refuse to insure you, contact your state department of insurance. They can provide you a list of assigned risk carriers (also known as residual market carriers) who offer insurance to those who cannot get coverage from regular insurers. Nonrenewal of a Home Insurance Policy
A nonrenewal of a homeowners insurance policy is when either an insurance company or a policyholder chooses not to renew a policy at the time of its expiration. Either party might do this for a variety of reasons, and there are a lot fewer restrictions than on a cancellation. For example, a company might not allow a customer to renew their policy due to a high volume of claims filed within a policy period. This might not seem fair - after all, customers pay premiums so they can file a claim when they have to - but insurance companies can’t afford to pay out too much in claims overall. If an individual policyholder is filing a high volume of claims and the company feels it could lose too much money on them over time, a nonrenewal can be a result. An insurance company also might not renew your policy if you file just a few large claims due to damage you cause. You don’t have to cause the damage intentionally. | https://www.valuepenguin.com/homeowners-insurance-cancellation-nonrenewal-and-policy-lapses |

For example, say you really like candles. You can have as many candles as you want, but if you constantly forget to extinguish them and have caused two seriously damaging fires, a company might not renew your policy. Liability claims might also lead an insurer to not renew a policy. For example, dog bites are responsible for more than one-third of all homeowners insurance liability claims. A company might not renew a policy if that homeowner has a dog that has bitten multiple people and claim filings have been the result. | https://www.valuepenguin.com/homeowners-insurance-cancellation-nonrenewal-and-policy-lapses |

For the same reasons a company might cancel a policy, they also might choose not to renew one. For example, if a policyholder has a poor history of making payments on time, that might not be grounds to immediately cancel their policy but their insurance company can decide not to renew it. A nonrenewal might occur purely because a company is no longer offering that product or line of service in the area where a policyholder lives. No matter if the policyholder is in good standing or not, insurance company business strategies might be the reason behind a nonrenewal. Insurance companies are required to give written notice of a nonrenewal prior to the expiration of the policy. | https://www.valuepenguin.com/homeowners-insurance-cancellation-nonrenewal-and-policy-lapses |

There is evident increase in interracial dating in the US, and also across Europe, many of which lead to marriage. This trend has seen black men becoming more attracted to white women, and white men becoming attracted to black women. Since the 1967 US Supreme Court decision that fully legalised interracial marriage in all the states, this practice has not witnessed as much of such cases as since 2000, according to statistics.

Interracial lovers
In 1970, revealed a Stanford University study, there were only 65,000 marriages involving African-Americans and whites. In 2005, that number had grown to 422,000. Among all interracial couples, they represented two percent of marriages in 1970. In 2005, that number was up to seven percent of the 59 million marriages in the United States. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/white-women-s3xually-attracted-black-men-black-women-white-men/ |

Among all interracial couples, they represented two percent of marriages in 1970. In 2005, that number was up to seven percent of the 59 million marriages in the United States. So, what is responsible for this growing trend? “ Some of the growth can be accounted for by declining societal prejudice towards – and less shame experienced by – people in interracial marriages”, says encyclopedia.com. It goes on to add that couples tend to start a relationship based on four important reasons: the attractiveness of the partner, shared common interests, shared similar entertainment interests, and socio-economic similarities. Sexual attraction
Of all these, reports indicate that the attractiveness, comfortability and compatibility of the couple’s sexuality is the primary reason for interracial dating, and every relationship that leads to marriage starts with dating. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/white-women-s3xually-attracted-black-men-black-women-white-men/ |

Of all these, reports indicate that the attractiveness, comfortability and compatibility of the couple’s sexuality is the primary reason for interracial dating, and every relationship that leads to marriage starts with dating. The choice, says one expert, mainly lies with the female partner, as a woman has the final say in every relationship: either to accept or turn down a proposal. As sexual satisfaction and compatibility are of paramount importance to their happiness, her happiness lies on how much her man satisfies her romantically. “Partners in interracial relationships reported significantly higher relationship satisfaction compared to those in intraracial relationships”, says Research Gate, a US-based study group. However, no differences were found for conflict or attachment style, and no differences found between interracial and intraracial relationships in relationship quality, conflict patterns, relationship efficacy, coping style, and attachment. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/white-women-s3xually-attracted-black-men-black-women-white-men/ |

White woman/black man, black woman/white man sexuality
Different experts and commentators have ascribed sexual satisfaction as the major reason white women date black men. “ Mudshark” is the word most white guys in the US and across Europe use in describing such women, though in contempt as they insist the women engage in it out of low esteem as they are not good enough for the white guys. Other reasons given by these men are that these women hold the misconception that white men are not masculine enough compared with the blacks, which lead them to experiment with black guys; that the white women also do it in rebellion against the old prejudice of whites against blacks, and in the process drawing attention to themselves. One white male respondent on a popular Facebook chat group even accused the mudsharks of longing for the ‘‘filling’’ mythical black manhood, based on the belief that blacks are more virile and better endowed ‘‘down there’’. | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/white-women-s3xually-attracted-black-men-black-women-white-men/ |

Content: The position of these whites has been that the relationships do not last long and often end in heartbreak for the white women. However, this cannot be entirely acceptable, considering the growing number of interracial marriages between white women and black men in the US and across the Atlantic. This clearly smacks of envy on the part of the whites. A white girl on a popular chat group girlsaskguys, recently posted a question: ‘‘ Ladies, have you ever had sex with a black guy?’’ The responses she received were as varied as they were revealing: one said no, but she looked looked forward to it, and wanted to know if the enquirer has done so, for her to reveal the experience. Another revealed she has done it with many black guys, that she ‘‘enjoyed most of it’’ and described black men as confident, and recommended every white girl should try it. The enquirer then asked: “ So are they bigger in the pants or is this myth?” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/white-women-s3xually-attracted-black-men-black-women-white-men/ |

Content: This will prevent you from catching someone off guard with a behavior that may be deemed risky. 3. Try feed-forward techniques. If you want to change someone’s perception of you quickly, a good tip is to ask them to attend to your new behavior. Similar to if you’ve ever tried to lose or gain weight, you’ll notice the first few pounds on the scale quicker than anyone else will. The same goes for behavior change. For others to recognize it, it must be different enough for them to notice. But with feed-forward techniques, you can speed up the time it takes for others to notice a change in your behavior by asking them to actively attend to it. Most of us ask others to let us know when we are doing something wrong (i.e., repeating the offending behavior). While this is a valuable tactic for holding us accountable in the moment, it should be used sparingly when trying to change perceptions because you are asking people to notice when you are behaving like the “old you”. | https://www.vantageleadership.com/our-blog/others-perception-reality-change/ |

Content: However, most of the issues were settled by the framers’ efforts and compromises, thus the finished Constitution has been referred to as a “bundle of compromises”. It was only through give-and-take that a successful conclusion was achieved. Such efforts and compromises in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 produced the most enduring written Constitution ever created by humankinds. The men who were at Philadelphia that hot summer hammered out a document defining distinct powers for the Congress of the United States, the president, and the federal courts. This division of authority is known as a system of checks and balances, and it ensures that none of the branches of government can dominate the others. The Constitution also establishes and limits the authority of the Federal Government over the states and emphasizes that power of the states will serve as a check on the power of the national government. Separation of Powers in the Central Government
One important principle embodied in the U.S. Constitution is separation of powers. To prevent concentration of power, the U.S. Constitution divides the central government into three branches and creates a system of checks and balances. Each of the three governmental branches, legislative, executive and judicial, “checks” the powers of the other branches to make sure that the principal powers of the government are not concentrated in the hands of any single branch. The principle of separation of powers and the system of checks and balances perform essential functions and contribute to a stable political situation in the United States. | https://www.varsitytutors.com/earlyamerica/early-america-review/volume-13/constitution-separates-power |

Theory of Separation of Powers
The principle of separation of powers dates back as far as Aristotle’s time. Aristotle favored a mixed government composed of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, seeing none as ideal, but a mix of the three useful by combining the best aspects of each. James Harrington, in his 1656 Oceana, brought these ideas up-to-date and proposed systems based on the separation of power. Many of the framers of the U.S. Constitution, such as Madison, studied history and political philosophy. | https://www.varsitytutors.com/earlyamerica/early-america-review/volume-13/constitution-separates-power |

In its usual operational form, one branch of government (the legislative) is entrusted with making laws, a second (the executive) with executing them, and a third (the judiciary) with resolving disputes in accordance with the law. Based on the theory of Baron de Montesquieu and John Locke, the framers carefully spelled out the independence of the three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. At the same time, however, they provided for a system in which some powers should be shared: Congress may pass laws, but the president can veto them; the president nominates certain public officials, but Congress must approve the appointments; and laws passed by Congress as well as executive actions are subject to judicial review. Thus the separation of powers is offset by what are called checks and balances. | https://www.varsitytutors.com/earlyamerica/early-america-review/volume-13/constitution-separates-power |

Thus the separation of powers is offset by what are called checks and balances. 2. Separation of Powers among Three Governmental Branches
Separation of powers devised by the framers of the U.S. Constitution serves the goals: to prevent concentration of power and provide each branch with weapons to fight off encroachment by the other two branches. As James Madison argued in the Federalist Papers (No.51), “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.” Clearly, the system of separated powers is not designed to maximize efficiency; | https://www.varsitytutors.com/earlyamerica/early-america-review/volume-13/constitution-separates-power |

Content: The Senate tries all impeachments. Besides, Congress can override a Presidential veto. Congress may also influence the composition of the judicial branch. It may establish courts inferior to the Supreme Court and set their jurisdiction. Furthermore, Congress regulates the size of the courts. Judges are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The compensation of executive officials and judges is determined by Congress, but Congress may not increase or diminish the compensation of a President, or diminish the compensation of a judge, during his term in office. Congress determines its own members’ emoluments as well. In short, the main powers of the Legislature include: Legislating all federal laws; | https://www.varsitytutors.com/earlyamerica/early-america-review/volume-13/constitution-separates-power |

Content: Students will find it beneficial to have had as much science course work in their undergraduate studies as possible, especially biological sciences. 13. What electives I should take? Suggested electives include: anatomy, physiology, cell biology, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, nutrition, immunology, epidemiology, histology, embryology, parasitology, virology, animal reproduction, animal husbandry, toxicology, parasitology, mycology, endocrinology, entomology, bacteriology, zoology, neuroanatomy or neurophysiology. Courses, practica, independent studies and internships that provide specific veterinary practice, animal experience and research experiences are highly recommended. In addition many schools recommend business, computer science, statistics and communications courses. Professional veterinary curriculum is extremely demanding, it is highly recommended that prospective students enroll in challenging undergraduate courses that go beyond the pre- professional requirements; useful courses include comparative anatomy, embryology, and physiology. Superior performance in these kinds of courses will not only enhance the academic image of the applicant, but will also help build a solid base for more detailed courses in the professional veterinary curriculum. | https://www.vasci.umass.edu/undergraduate/animal-science-major/changing-your-major-to-animal-science-or-pre-veterinary-science-1 |

Who are these people in the Vatican?
Life in the Vatican
Content: This ranks it 235th in the world. Unlike other countries, citizenship is not based on birth but granted only to those who reside in the Vatican because of their work or office. Cardinals who live in Vatican City or Rome, as well as diplomats of the Holy See, are also considered citizens. And technically, no-one can be born in the Vatican as there are no hospitals! For those who wish to move to the Vatican must have their citizenship approved by the Pope, or papal authority. Who are these people in the Vatican? Due to the unique circumstances of Vatican City, there is an array of different citizens living within. First, the head of Vatican City and the Catholic church calls this city their home, and of course the Pope! The Pope’s official residence is within the Apostolic Palace, which is also known as the Vatican Palace or the Papal Palace. The palace has a series of apartments, museums, offices, and chapels. | https://www.vaticancitytours.it/blog/how-many-people-live-in-vatican-city/ |

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Content: The Jejunum: It is the center division of the small intestine which is highly involved in the absorption of carbohydrates and proteins. Jejunum's inner surface, its mucous membrane, is covered in tiny, finger-like projections called villi, these villi increase the surface area of tissue available to absorb nutrients from the contents of the gut. 3. The ileum: It is the part between the jejunum and large intestine. It is the last and most likely the longest part of the small intestine. The main function of the ileum is to absorb Cobalamin (Vitamin B12), bile salts, and any other products of digestion that were not possible for the jejunum to absorb. • Large Intestine
The large intestine begins at the right iliac region of the pelvis, just below or at the right waist; it is then joined to the lower end of the small intestine. | https://www.vedantu.com/biology/alimentary-canal-anatomy |

Content: Now, the germination of spore depends on favorable conditions. A spore could germinate if it lands in a suitable damp location followed by growth into a thread like structure. This thread like structure, now, branches to form rhizoids and buds and that grow upright. Each bud has the capability to develop into a new gametophyte plant consisting of a leafy axis. The major portion of the life cycle of moss is spent in the haploid state. The leafy gametophyte is photosynthetic. However, the smaller sporophyte is not photosynthetic and it is not able to produce energy on its own. Hence, it is nutritionally dependent on the gametophytes. Water is an important component required to carry the sperm to the egg. Abundance of Mosses
Mosses are the most abundant plants in the Arctic and the Antarctic area. | https://www.vedantu.com/biology/bryophyta |

Content: Environment is the totality of surroundings that we live in. It is the combination of physical and biological components such as animals, plants, air, water, sunlight; we can study the effect of all organisms and the effects of their way of living on the environment. Climate and weather changes take place due to different impacts on the environment and hence can alter the natural cycles. As a result, if a healthy environment is disturbed, there can be disturbance in ecology too as disturbances in various ecosystems take place. Due to too hot/too cold or humid conditions, organisms may not survive and there can be decrease in the population, community or species. For example, when an uncontrollable wild forest fire, bush fire or grassland fire takes place, many living organisms including plants, animals and vegetation may die and result in the loss of an ecosystem. It ultimately affects the ecology. This is how we can portray the difference between environmental biology and ecology. (Image to be added soon)
