Content: They had public support, but the Roman elite reacted violently. Fearing that they were trying to reduce its power, the Senate urged mobs to kill them. ( pg. 172)
Gaius Marius
(c.157-86 BC) Roman general and politician; he eliminated property restrictions for acceptance into the army and began to accept anyone who wished to join the Roman army. He made armies into private forces that became devoted to their generals. Poor people began to join the army, attaching themselves to a general in hopes of sharing the plunder and land at the end of the war. As a result of his changes, armies largely became private forces devoted to the general. Ruthless generals soon realized that they could use the loyalty of their troops as a political tool to increase their own power.

How did Rome change from a republic to an empire? By establishing the example of dictatorship, Sulla had paved the way for major changes in Rome's government. The end of the republic was the result of the ambitions of just a few influential individuals, the most powerful men in Rome. Among those who helped bring an end to the republic were Julius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompey, and Licinius Crassus. In 60 BC these three men took over the Roman Republic as the First Triumvirate (aka rule of three men). Eventually Crassus died, and Caesar and Pompey faced off in a civil war. Caesar won and the Senate declared him dictator for life in 44 BC. Caesar brought many changes to Rome, which made him popular with the public, but many Senators thought he wanted to make himself king and destroy the Roman Republic. In an effort to stop him from doing this they killed him on the Ides of March - March 15. However, this murder did not save the republic. | https://quizlet.com/5637228/chapter-6-ancient-rome-flash-cards/ |

Content: What kind of work was available to women before the Civil War? a. Married, more affluent women were supposed to be housewives and mothers. Poor urban women had to take jobs in factories, sweatshops, domestic labor, or worked from home. Rural women were expected to run the household and also work full-time on the farm. How did women's pay compare with men's pay in factories? Women's pay was much lower (usually 50% lower) because they were given less skilled jobs and they were excluded from most labor unions and were not protected by the contracts that unions negotiated. Why did women take white-collar jobs? Women took white-collar jobs because opportunities were expanding for them in the work
force, education was increasing (more women than men earned high school diplomas), and
technical and business training schools began to admit women. What kinds of job opportunities prompted more women to complete high school? a. Teachers, secretaries, bookkeepers, typists, stenographers, retail, etc. | https://quizlet.com/56584044/american-history-ch-9-flash-cards/ |

Teachers, secretaries, bookkeepers, typists, stenographers, retail, etc. b. New women's colleges also prompted more women to complete high school. How did the opening of women's colleges help create more opportunities for women? Since most colleges refused to admit women, the opening of women's colleges allowed women to receive higher education. Many male-dominated professions opened to women as a result of the advanced degrees. The education often inspired women to enter the Progressive reform movement. | https://quizlet.com/56584044/american-history-ch-9-flash-cards/ |

tri·bal court | \ ˈtrī-bəl- \
Legal Definition of tribal court
: a court administered through self-government of an American Indian tribe especially on a reservation and having federally prescribed jurisdiction over custody and adoption cases involving tribal children, criminal jurisdiction over offenses committed on tribal lands by members of the tribe, and broader civil jurisdiction over claims between tribe members and nonmembers
Note: Criminal prosecutions of tribal members in tribal courts must respect constitutional rights specifically listed in the Indian Civil Rights Act, which also provides for a federal habeas corpus remedy in lieu of federal appellate review. Parties to a civil action that arguably falls within the jurisdiction of a tribal court must first exhaust remedies there before seeking adjudication in a federal court, whether they are both tribal members or not. A dispute over such jurisdiction is ultimately a federal question. Learn More about tribal court

Chris Hedges, a former reporter for The New York Times who now blogs at TruthDig.com, accused him of making a work of “agitprop for the security and surveillance state,” intended to marginalize WikiLeaks and Mr. Assange. —David Carr, The New York Times, 6 Oct. 2013
Disinformation
Definition: false information deliberately and often covertly spread (as by the planting of rumors) in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth
Disinformation does not much look like a word of Russian origin, but it is believed by many to be a literal translation of that language’s dezinformatsiya (“misinformation”). Although the word may be found in occasional use as far back as the 1930s, it began to see greatly increased use during the Cold War, in the 1950s. | https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/words-from-russian |

Content: the study of human social and cultural behavior; Linguistics: the study of human language, its construction, and how it is used in societies; Physical or Biological: the study of human biological diversity, primate behavior, and evolution of humans over time (paleoanthropology); Archaeology: the study of the human past through material remains with the aim of reconstructing, ordering and describing the daily life, customs, and events of past people. Collectively these disciplines provide anthropology with a background of information that helps us build a wide-ranging understanding of humanness itself. It would not be possible to fully appreciate what makes us human without this broad and holistic perspective.

It would not be possible to fully appreciate what makes us human without this broad and holistic perspective. Anthropologists also look for similarities and differences between people and their cultures by using a cross-cultural approach to answer questions. For example, from studying cultures around the world, we know that every culture is ethnocentric; that is, they believe their way of life, their values, and their worldview is superior to all others. The question is why do cultures take this perspective? The answer appears relatively simple. If we believe our way of life is better, then we simply reject anything foreign that comes along. | https://www.mesacc.edu/departments/cultural-science/anthropology |

Content: “Given the very strong dependence of vegetation on water availability, the end of the ‘Green Sahara’ came about quite suddenly around 5,500 years ago,” Schmidt said. “ Thus, a very slow change in the orbit (led) to an abrupt collapse in that ecosystem.” The Sahara is a vast area and we should not dismiss the possibility that parts of the land dried up abruptly while it took other regions a longer period of time to transform into a desert. “It seems that drying was progressive in our area, but it does not automatically mean that it was the case in other areas such as Western Sahara,” said Francus. “ We cannot rule out completely the possibility of abrupt drying. Understanding the regional differences in climate change is the next challenge for climate scientists.” As an example, Francus mentions the Younger Dryas where an abrupt climate change took place between 12,800 and 11,500 years ago. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the end of this period was particularly abrupt when, for example, in Greenland, temperatures increased 18 degrees Fahrenheit in about a decade. “Many scientists think that abrupt climate changes are possible in the future, but the nature, direction and intensity of these changes will most probably be region-dependent,” Francus said. Francus also noted that there are some models that cannot predict an abrupt climate shift at all. | https://www.messagetoeagle.com/changed-green-sahara-desert/ |

A. Sutherland – MessageToEagle.com – Have you ever felt strange without really knowing why, shortly after a solar flare entered Earth’s atmosphere? According to scientists, solar flares do cause changes in human health. A solar flare is an explosion on the Sun that happens when energy stored in twisted magnetic fields is suddenly released. Such intense activity has an influence on our mind and body. More and more scientists are now convinced that our Sun affects our mental and physical health. The TRACE spacecraft observes an X-ray flare over solar active region AR9906, April 21, 2002. The Sun’s activity as it interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field effects extensive changes in human beings’ perspectives, moods, emotions, and behavioral patterns. “The idea that spots on the sun or solar flares might influence human health on earth at first appears to lack scientific credibility. However, when significant correlations between hospital admissions and health registers and Solar-Geomagnetic Activity (S-GMA) are found, then the challenge is to conceive of and to document a scientifically plausible and observationally supported mechanism and model. There is a large body of research correlating S-GMA with biological effects and human health effects. | https://www.messagetoeagle.com/how-solar-flares-affect-human-health-our-mind-and-body/ |

There is currently an absence of a known and credible biophysical mechanism to link the S-GMA with these effects,” writes Dr. Neil Cherry Associate Professor of Environmental Health at the Lincoln University in his science paper. In Dr. Neil Cherry’s opinion, it is possible that that the Schumann Resonance (SR) signal is the plausible biophysical mechanism to link the S-GMA levels to biological and human health effects. The Schumann resonances (SR) are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth’s electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere. The Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems in Russia measured solar effects from 1948 to 1997 and discovered that geomagnetic activity showed three seasonal peaks each of those years (March to May, in July, and in October). | https://www.messagetoeagle.com/how-solar-flares-affect-human-health-our-mind-and-body/ |

Our planet is very small compared to large solar flares. This led scientists to believe that solar storms desynchronize our circadian rhythm, in other words, our biological clock.

According to Professor Raymond Wheeler of the University of Kansas and Russian scientist Alexander Chizhevsky solar storms can directly cause conflict, wars, and even death among humans on Earth. Wheeler expanded on Chishevsky’s work by studying violence during 1913; measuring the time between battles and severity. These findings were compared with the sun’s 11-year sunspot cycle. The results showed that as the sun cycle peaked, there was a rise in human unrest, uprisings, rebellions, revolutions, and wars between nations. | https://www.messagetoeagle.com/how-solar-flares-affect-human-health-our-mind-and-body/ |

Cat Howling: Why Do Some Cats Howl, Especially at Night? A 22-year-old cat howling
Common causes of howling or loud meowing in cats include medical issues, attention seeking, stress, grief, boredom, feline cognitive dysfunction syndrome, and breed tendency. Illness
If a formerly quiet cat has begun crying or howling plaintively, the cause is likely a medical problem. Cats tend to be stoic, often not showing symptoms until an illness has become quite severe. In such cases, the howling is caused by physical and psychological distress. When howling starts up suddenly, consult a veterinarian as soon as possible. Medical problems should be ruled out before attributing the behaviour to other causes, particularly if the cat is eating or drinking more than usual or has started having accidents outside the litter box. | https://www.metaphoricalplatypus.com/articles/animals/cats/cat-health/cat-howling-why-do-some-cats-howl-especially-at-night/ |

Medical problems should be ruled out before attributing the behaviour to other causes, particularly if the cat is eating or drinking more than usual or has started having accidents outside the litter box. Older cats are prone to kidney disease and hyperthyroidism, both of which may cause howling. Attention seeking
Many cats learn that talking results in feeding, affection, or some other form of interaction. A cat that is desperate for attention may yell just to get a reaction, even if it’s a negative one. If owners want to discourage chattiness, they should not pay the cat any attention (positive or negative) while he is vocalizing, but spend more quality time with him when he’s being quiet. Ignoring him when he’s noisy will send a strong message that howling won’t get him what he wants. | https://www.metaphoricalplatypus.com/articles/animals/cats/cat-health/cat-howling-why-do-some-cats-howl-especially-at-night/ |

Some cats howl due to anxiety caused by major changes, such as moving house or adding a new person or pet to the household. The loss of a person or animal the cat loved may also cause howling due to grief. In either case, provide plenty of positive attention and try to keep other aspects of the cat’s life as consistent as possible by maintaining the usual routines and not imposing additional changes. Many owners find that using a cat pheromone product such as Feliway has a calming effect. Boredom and restlessness
Indoor cats can easily grow bored and restless without sufficient opportunities to exercise, and a formerly outdoor cat that has been confined to the house may be especially frustrated. | https://www.metaphoricalplatypus.com/articles/animals/cats/cat-health/cat-howling-why-do-some-cats-howl-especially-at-night/ |

Indoor cats can easily grow bored and restless without sufficient opportunities to exercise, and a formerly outdoor cat that has been confined to the house may be especially frustrated. To reduce howling caused by boredom, restlessness, or the desire to be outdoors: Have pets spayed or neutered to eliminate the biological urge to roam (this will also prevent yowling as a mate-seeking behaviour). Engage in regular play sessions that enable the cat to practice his hunting behaviours – tiring him out with play in the daytime is particularly useful for a cat that tends to be noisy at night. Leave solo toys such as catnip mice lying around for him to play with on his own. Harness train the cat and take him for walks. | https://www.metaphoricalplatypus.com/articles/animals/cats/cat-health/cat-howling-why-do-some-cats-howl-especially-at-night/ |

Feline cognitive dysfunction syndrome
Like people, some cats suffer a cognitive decline as they get older, developing a condition much like Alzheimer’s disease. Cats with feline cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) howl due to confusion, disorientation, and distress. Also known as feline dementia, CDS can impair a cat’s sleep cycle, which increases the likelihood of night-time vocalization and restlessness. A cat with CDS may howl because he feels anxious due to confusion or because he’s looking for others in the household and can’t find them. Cats that suffer from CDS may be more inclined to vocalize at night in particular because their loved ones become inaccessible when they fall asleep. | https://www.metaphoricalplatypus.com/articles/animals/cats/cat-health/cat-howling-why-do-some-cats-howl-especially-at-night/ |

Loss of hearing or vision in older cats may also contribute to howling. Older cats may develop additional medical conditions, so a full check-up is required to rule out illness before assuming the problem is dementia. A veterinarian may prescribe medication in the case of severe anxiety. Once medical problems have been ruled out, options for calming the cat’s anxieties include using a pheromone product such as Feliway, spending more quality time with the cat during the day, and hiding treats or catnip toys around the house to provide pleasant distractions at night.

Siamese cats (and many breeds derived from the Siamese), tend to be more talkative by nature. In the case of naturally chatty breeds, if there have been no changes in vocalization (loudness, frequency, etc.), talking is unlikely to indicate a problem.

Content: A partial list of circumstances that may qualify, as well circumstances that clearly do not, is explained further in this information sheet. Be advised that establishing this legal argument is complicated, and you should seek legal counsel before trying this. If you believe that your landlord breached the contract, but your landlord disagrees, be prepared to defend your position in court, and to face the consequences (such as potentially being held liable for back-rent, and ending up on the ‘tenant blacklist’.) What happens if I move out mid-lease without my landlord’s permission? If you move out before the expiration of your lease and don’t pay the rent for the remaining months, your landlord might sue you for the uncollected rent. If you no longer live in the apartment, your landlord will not be able to sue you in Housing Court, and will instead have to sue you in Small Claims Court, Civil Court or Supreme Court (depending on the amount owed). As of 2019, landlords in New York who sue tenants over breached leases have a “duty to mitigate”, meaning they must show that they made every effort to find a new tenant for the remaining months on the lease. If your landlord does find a new tenant and that tenant pays rent for part of your lease period, your landlord cannot sue you for those months that he collected rent from someone else.

Content: 1. Online groceries and meal deliveries
The pandemic has forced people to start shopping for groceries online. Even old-fashioned skeptics appreciate the convenience and safety now. So any food, drink, baby, and household products are a safe bet for ecommerce. This is the future of grocery shopping. Healthy meal deliveries are a growing niche too as people working from home – and most probably stuck with kids at home – are still short on time. Zielony Puzzle, for example, a Polish meal delivery, lets you choose your diet and menu preferences to stick to your eating regime. Ripayon in France, on the other hand, makes ordering family meals easier than picking a few different dishes. 2. Home workout equipment

Content: Buy it for life (BIFL)
We see a rise in more conscious buying – buying for life. It’s the opposite of buying cheap and poorly made products, only to replace them with other cheap buys when they break or wear out. A year of restrictions has just showed us that many products go out of fashion before we even get to use or wear them. So the trend is to buy high-quality, timeless, classic items that will look good years to come. Plus, as financials are challenging for many right now, low-quality stuff that will soon need a replacement sounds like a bad investment. There’s a huge subReddit where people recommend such products made to last. If this fits your philosophy and you already have a durable product that you can vouch will last to be inherited by your customer’s grandchildren, stick the “buy it for life” and “built to last” labels on it and go ahead. If not – maybe it’s time to reconsider what makes more money. Many entrepreneurs joining the movement will tell you that premium products with a compelling advantage and a good margin is a much better business than pushing low-quality, low-margin stuff with no story to back it up. 7. | https://www.metrilo.com/blog/ecommerce-trends-niche-products |

Content: It should be remembered that Spain’s rise to power came as a direct result of regaining the Iberian peninsula from Moslem rule. In return for having driven out the Moors, the Pope granted the Spanish Crown authority over the Church within its domain, effectively making the it an arm of the State. Thus, for Carlos V, the conquest of the Americas more than just a quest for territory and material riches. His personal mission as an agent of the Vatican was the ardent pursuit of souls for salvation. At that time the Church’s organization was divided into two distinct branches. Under the Papal grant of power to the Spanish Crown, the secular clergy was comprised of priests who served under their bishops. The missionary orders, on the other hand, were designated as self-governing bodies under the separate authority of their respective superiors, as decreed by Pope Leon X in 1521. Secular priests were prohibited from interfering with the regular clergy, on penalty of ex-communication. Thus, during Mexico’s colonial era, the secular clergy worked hand in hand with civil authorities, while the missionary friars, laboring independently, tended to have greater influence over the common people. The first Franciscan missionaries, sent by Carlos V at Cortés request, arrived in Mexico in 1523 and 1524. | https://www.mexconnect.com/articles/1562-religion-and-society-in-new-spain-mexico-s-colonial-era/ |

They were followed by the Dominicans (1525), the Augustinians (1533), and finally, the Jesuits (1571). Altogether some 12,000 churches were built during the three centuries of Spanish rule over Mexico. Although their chief goal was to perform the sacraments and introduce the Indians to the fundamentals of Christian doctrine, in many respects the missionary friars laid the groundwork for the fusion of the Spanish and Mexican cultures. They won the trust of the native population by protecting them from the excesses to which many of the Spanish civilians were inclined. | https://www.mexconnect.com/articles/1562-religion-and-society-in-new-spain-mexico-s-colonial-era/ |

Ingredients
2 cups dried field corn
1 tablespoon calcium hydroxide
8 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water (to grind the masa)
1/2 cup masa harina (optional)
Instructions
Rinse 2 cups of dried field corn in cold water. Remove any stones or struggling kernels. Add 1 tablespoon of calcium hydroxide to 8 cups of water in a non-reactive pot (I used stainless steel). Combine well. Add the corn to this mixture. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. When the skins of the kernels slip off easily then it's had enough cooking time. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit overnight at room temperature. The next day (or at least 6-8 hours later) drain the corn and massage it under running cold water. | https://www.mexicanplease.com/homemade-masa-dough-using-yellow-field-corn/ |

Use clean corn seed, remove any chaff from the corn husk, rinse with tap water, and then remove any excess water using a plastic colander. ( Please check the ingredients list below)
Put the corn into a non-corrosive pot. Use 2 to three liters of water per each one kilo of corn. Add two tablespoons of dried powered lime (Mexican cal) dissolved in ½ cup of filtered water. CAL MEXICANA.- You can find “cal mexicana” (powdered lime) in most Latin or Hispanic grocery stores. Transfer all these ingredients into a clay pot (preferably) and let it boil for few minutes (15-20 minutes), stir slowly using a wooden kitchen spoon. Remove the pot from the stove, cover it with a lid and let it cool overnight. You know that the corn is ready if it easily peels off when you rub it with your fingers after 15 -20 minutes of cooking. The next day, remove all the liquid (also known as “ nejayote”), and rinse the corn two or three times rubbing off the loose skin until the kernels are quite white and the water looks clean. Drain well. | https://www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/corn-masa/ |

Content: On September 28, 1821, the first independent government was named with Iturbide at the head. Independence was followed by thirty years of great political turmoil, which included the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 in which Mexico lost Texas, California, and New Mexico to the victors. Then came a period of reform, led by the educated of the country. The liberal Benito Juarez, who would be elected president in 1861, promoted reform laws that were incorporated into the Constitution of 1857. As provisional president, he also reduced the powers of the Roman Catholic Church, and confiscated church property. In 1864, Austrian Archduke Maximilian was made Emperor with the backing of Napoleon III. Maximilian ruled Mexico until 1867, when he was defeated and shot after Napoleon pulled out his troops to fight a war with Prussia. The return to government of Juarez is also known as the Restoration of the Republic. The Juarez years were followed by the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, a military leader who was president from 1876-1880 and 1884-1911. Mexico underwent a period of unprecedented economic development under Diaz, with the construction of railroads, ports, and telecommunications. | https://www.mexperience.com/lifestyle/history-of-mexico/independence-from-spain/ |

Depression in Teens
It’s not unusual for young people to experience "the blues" or feel "down in the dumps" occasionally. Adolescence is always an unsettling time, with the many physical, emotional, psychological and social changes that accompany this stage of life. Unrealistic academic, social, or family expectations can create a strong sense of rejection and can lead to deep disappointment. When things go wrong at school or at home, teens often overreact. Many young people feel that life is not fair or that things "never go their way." They feel "stressed out" and confused. To make matters worse, teens are bombarded by conflicting messages from parents, friends and society. Today’s teens see more of what life has to offer — both good and bad — on television, at school, in magazines and on the Internet. They are also forced to learn about the threat of AIDS, even if they are not sexually active or using drugs. Teens need adult guidance more than ever to understand all the emotional and physical changes they are experiencing. | https://www.mhanational.org/depression-teens-0 |

Helpful vs Harmful: Ways to Manage Emotions
Negative emotions like fear, sadness, and anger are a basic part of life and sometimes we struggle with how to deal with them effectively. It can be tempting to act on what you’re feeling right away, but that often doesn’t fix the situation that caused the emotions. In fact, it may lead to more problems to deal with down the road. Some of the harmful ways that people deal with negative emotions: Denial
Denial is when a person refuses to accept that anything is wrong or that help may be needed. When people deny that they are having problematic feelings, those feelings can bottle-up to a point that a person ends up “exploding” or acting out in a harmful way. Withdrawal
Withdrawal is when a person doesn’t want to be around, or participate in activities with other people. | https://www.mhanational.org/helpful-vs-harmful-ways-manage-emotions |

Withdrawal is when a person doesn’t want to be around, or participate in activities with other people. This is different than wanting to be alone from time to time, and can be a warning sign of depression. Some people may withdraw because being around others takes too much energy, or they feel overwhelmed. Others may withdraw because they don’t think other people like them or want them to be around. In some cases, people who have behaviors that they are ashamed of may withdraw so other people don’t find out about what they are doing. But withdrawal brings its own problems: | https://www.mhanational.org/helpful-vs-harmful-ways-manage-emotions |

Content: extreme loneliness, misunderstanding, anger, and distorted thinking. We need to interact with other people to keep us balanced. Bullying
Bullying is when a person uses force, threats, or ridicule to show power over others. People typically take part in bullying behavior because they don’t feel good about themselves and making someone else feel bad makes them feel better about themselves or feel less alone. It is harmful to both the bully and the person being bullied and does not address underlying issues. Self-harm
Self-harm can take many forms including: cutting, starving one’s self, binging and purging, or participating in dangerous behavior. Many people self-harm because they feel like it gives them control over emotional pain. While self-harming may bring temporary relief, these behaviors can become addictive and can lead people to be more out of control and in greater pain than ever. Substance use
Substance use is the use of alcohol and other drugs to make a person feel better or numb about painful situations. | https://www.mhanational.org/helpful-vs-harmful-ways-manage-emotions |

Substance use is the use of alcohol and other drugs to make a person feel better or numb about painful situations. Alcohol and drug use can damage the brain, making it need higher amounts of substances to get the same effect. This can make difficult feelings even worse and in some cases, leads to suicidal thoughts or addiction. If you are concerned about your own or someone else’s use of drugs or alcohol, talk to a responsible adult right away to get help. The good news is that with practice, everyone can do a better job of dealing with their negative emotions in healthy ways.

Content: Alcohol and drug use can damage the brain, making it need higher amounts of substances to get the same effect. This can make difficult feelings even worse and in some cases, leads to suicidal thoughts or addiction. If you are concerned about your own or someone else’s use of drugs or alcohol, talk to a responsible adult right away to get help. The good news is that with practice, everyone can do a better job of dealing with their negative emotions in healthy ways. One way to deal with uncomfortable or unpleasant emotions is to remember the word PATH. PATH stands for: Pause Acknowledge Think Help
Step 1: Pause. This step is important because instead of acting on feelings right away, you stop yourself and think things through. Count to 100 or say the alphabet backwards. | https://www.mhanational.org/helpful-vs-harmful-ways-manage-emotions |

Comments
Content: “Last year I made a request for six tapes, most of which involved allegations of abuse of officers against inmates. In all cases the tapes disappeared,” Richardson said. He wants policy changes mandating that security footage be stored on a cloud, outside of the control of individual wardens, for a minimum of six months. Over the years, suicide has become a common cause of death in the prisons. An inmate who has lost hope and wants to kill himself or herself will often find a way. But prisons put policies in place to make that more difficult. Staff was supposed to check on cells every 30 minutes at Central Florida Reception Center, for example. But in the early hours of the morning on March 19, 2017, one of those cell checks was missed. During the 104 minutes when no one checked his cell, Carl Singleton, hanged himself with his bed sheet. The official report said his body was still warm when they found him at 7:27 am. | https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article195837959.html |

However, I know I looked cute in my light-up sneakers, pink overalls (with one hook down, of course) and backwards Chicago Bulls cap. 6. The Television. In the 90s, the phrase “ Must-See TV ” actually made sense. There was no TiVo or DVRs to record a show (remember video cassettes?) and watching TV online was like riding a flying unicorn: not even a tangible concept. Thus, the 90s saw the rise of the most popular, longest running shows ever. | https://www.mic.com/articles/11285/13-reasons-why-the-1990s-were-the-best-decade-ever |

Here are some startling statistics on police brutality:
Content: The Post noted its number, which came out to two officer-involved shooting deaths per day, was more than twice the rate that the government had recorded over the past decade. 2. That same report found blacks to be killed at three times the rate of whites or other minorities. 3. It also found that almost a quarter of those killed were identified as mentally ill by police or family members. 4. The youngest victims at the end of May, according to the Washington Post, were 16 years old (though at the time, nine ages were unknown). 5. Another Washington Post investigation from August found that black men — who constitute 6% of the nation's population — account for 40% of the 60 unarmed people who had been fatally shot by police by that time. 6. | https://www.mic.com/articles/129981/10-police-brutality-statistics-that-are-absolutely-shocking |

Voter Fraud Evidence: Statistics show the problem is hardly as big as some claim
By Alison Durkee
Feb. 15, 2017
Those getting their news from the Donald Trump administration likely believe voter fraud is a big problem. The president has repeatedly talked about illegal voting, and his claims were recently backed up by adviser Stephen Miller, who falsely claimed during a television appearance that voter fraud in New Hampshire was "very real." In reality, however, voter fraud isn't the problem Trump wants us to believe it is. Voter fraud — defined as "the intentional corruption of the electoral process by the voter" — does exist, whether through the casting of multiple ballots, voting by noncitizens or the impersonation of others at the polls. But the practice is so overwhelmingly rare compared to the total number of votes cast that it doesn't have a statistical impact on elections. "The best facts we can gather to assess the magnitude of the alleged problem of voter fraud show that, although millions of people cast ballots every year, almost no one knowingly and willfully casts an illegal vote in the United States today," Rutgers University professor Lorraine Minnite wrote in The Myth of Voter Fraud. Here's just some of the evidence demonstrating why voter fraud isn't the problem some claim it is. Nationwide instances of voter fraud
In the cases where voter fraud has been tracked nationwide, it's become abundantly clear it isn't much of a problem. | https://www.mic.com/articles/168719/voter-fraud-evidence-statistics-show-the-problem-is-hardly-as-big-as-some-claim |

In the cases where voter fraud has been tracked nationwide, it's become abundantly clear it isn't much of a problem. A 2014 analysis of voter fraud studies by the Government Accountability Office concluded the studies "identified few instances of in-person voter fraud." The Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law conducted a nationwide investigation of voter fraud in 2007, concluding "it is more likely that an individual will be struck by lightning than that he will impersonate another voter at the polls." In the specific cases examined, the Brennan Center study found voter fraud rates ranging between 0.0003% and 0.0025% of votes cast.

In 2014, the study's lead author, Justin Levitt — a Loyola Law School professor and the deputy assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice's civil rights division under former President Barack Obama — outlined his findings on voter fraud in the Washington Post. Levitt reported 31 credible instances of voter fraud since 2000 — out of more than 1 billion total ballots. | https://www.mic.com/articles/168719/voter-fraud-evidence-statistics-show-the-problem-is-hardly-as-big-as-some-claim |

The Department of Justice even proved how comparatively minuscule the issue is when the George W. Bush administration established the Ballot Access and Voting Integrity Initiative in 2002 to address the issue of voter fraud and election crimes. The department revealed that between October 2002 and July 2006, 119 individuals were charged with voter fraud infractions, of which just 86 were convicted. Many of the individuals charged, the New York Times reported, had misunderstood the rules or mistakenly filled out registration forms, versus explicitly intending to commit fraud. While there have been studies showing a higher rate of voter fraud, their findings have often been questioned. A 2014 study, for instance, used data provided by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study to conclude that noncitizen participation in U.S. elections "has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes." | https://www.mic.com/articles/168719/voter-fraud-evidence-statistics-show-the-problem-is-hardly-as-big-as-some-claim |

In reality, the debunkers noted, "the likely percent of noncitizen voters in recent U.S. elections is zero." Statewide instances of voter fraud
Voter fraud isn't a major problem at the state level, either. A review of 207 cases of voter fraud in the 2010 election by the South Carolina Elections Committee found that 197 of the votes were not cast fraudulently and "10 cases had insufficient information in the record to make a determination." A 2013 voter fraud investigation in Colorado identified more than 100 suspects but resulted in only one conviction. In 2012, Florida Gov. Rick Scott spearheaded an effort to remove noncitizens' names from the state's voter rolls, a move that was later deemed to violate federal law. Though roughly 180,000 suspect names were initially compiled, the Tampa Bay Times reported, only 85 were ultimately removed and only one noncitizen was convicted of fraud. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who has been a leader in the GOP crusade against voter fraud, became the first secretary of state with the power to prosecute illegal voting charges in 2015. | https://www.mic.com/articles/168719/voter-fraud-evidence-statistics-show-the-problem-is-hardly-as-big-as-some-claim |

Why the idea that perfume is for women and cologne is for men is an archaic mindset
Content: So they’ve felt they had to lighten it, and what they did was take the essential oil, then mix it with some alcohol and water, and that was the perfume.” What you call a fragrance, whether it’s perfume or eau de parfume or eau de toilette or eau de cologne, is entirely based on the ratio between fragrance oil and alcohol and water. Cologne, which was created in Germany in the 18th century, is the most diluted, with the least amount of fragrance oil in the formula (usually around 2 to 4%) and more alcohol and water, while perfume has the highest concentration of fragrance oil, at about 20 to 30%. Sue Phillips Becky Yee
It’s just all about that equation, and nothing to do with even how a scent smells. A man can wear a perfume just as a much as a woman can wear a cologne. One is not inherently more attractive to men, or women. So why does the perfume industry remain so gendered? Back in the 1700s, for example, Napoleon was known to wear an excess of perfume himself, which he’d use to cover up his natural and understandably strong body odor after months on the field. According to Phillips, modern marketing had a big effect. “American men were always seen slapping on cologne as an aftershave,” Phillips said. “ | https://www.mic.com/articles/184778/why-the-idea-that-perfume-is-for-women-and-cologne-is-for-men-is-an-archaic-mindset |

Abortion Before Roe
Laying the Foundation: A Right to Privacy
Roe v. Wade and the “Trimester Framework”
Justice Kennedy’s Switcheroo
Content: For example, the Court reasoned that the First Amendment protected the privacy of personal faith, the Fourth Amendment protected the privacy of one’s person and belongings, and so on and so forth. Using this inductive reasoning, the Court concluded that the right to privacy was found in the “penumbras” and “emanations” of the Constitution and that it protected a “right to marital privacy” that unquestionably made the decision to use or forego contraception as a private one. Roe v. Wade and the “Trimester Framework”
In Roe v. Wade, the Court was asked to address the question of whether the right to an abortion was similarly covered by the still vaguely defined right to privacy, and if so, to what extent. The trial court that heard the case initially had ruled in favor of Roe. It reasoned that the Ninth Amendment, which states that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution “shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people,” protected the right to have an abortion as a right retained by the people and beyond the reach of government. Although the trial court ruled in favor of Roe’s right to have an abortion, it declined to stop the Texas law being challenged from being enforced against others. The case was subsequently appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court issued its decision in Roe v. Wade on January 22, 1973 in which the justices ruled 7-2 that abortion was a fundamental right protected by the United States Constitution. Justice Harry Blackmun, writing for the majority, declared that the right of privacy protected by the Fourteenth Amendment and previously outlined in Griswold “is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” While the Court recognized that a woman’s right to choose was protected by the Constitution, it also recognized the competing state interests of protecting a woman’s health and the “potentiality of human life.” | https://www.mic.com/articles/23822/roe-v-wade-a-simple-explanation-of-the-most-important-scotus-decision-in-40-years |

The Court based its test on the trimester framework of pregnancy. During the first trimester of pregnancy, when an abortion was considered a safer procedure than childbirth, the Court reasoned that the decision on whether to abort must be left exclusively to the mother. Therefore, any state or federal regulation that interfered with the right to have an abortion would be presumptively unconstitutional. For the second trimester, the Court ruled that the state could regulate abortion only in order to protect the woman’s health. | https://www.mic.com/articles/23822/roe-v-wade-a-simple-explanation-of-the-most-important-scotus-decision-in-40-years |

23 Ways Feminists Have Made the World Better for Women
By Zerlina Maxwell
April 22, 2014
"We're gathered to celebrate Women's History Month, but I don't celebrate Women's History Month," announced writer Mona Charen, one of the panelists at the Heritage Foundation's recent panel on feminism and happiness. " It doesn't interest me whether a person who happens to share my chromosomes sits in the Oval Office. It doesn't interest me how many women members of the Senate there are." No, Charen continued, one of the things that interests her the most about Women's History Month is how "feminism has done so much damage to happiness." It was a bold statement, and one that set the tone for the conservative foundation's panel discussion among a group of conservative writers and academics addressing an audience of mostly male interns. During the meeting, the attendees waxed poetic about the failures of the "project" known as feminism, spending hours decrying the perceived failures of the women's movement in America. But that's simply not true. It may seem like a bizarrely obvious statement, but somewhere between earning women the right to vote, pushing through legislation opening up universities to female students and advancing the civil rights movement (to name just a very few examples), feminism has indeed made life much, much better (and as a result, happier) — not just for American women, but American men as well. Far removed from the stereotypical and inaccurate image of the bra-burning activist, feminists have proven time and time again that women's rights are human rights. And as the Declaration of Independence so elegantly points out, the ideals of life and liberty are intrinsically tied up with that third pursuit: | https://www.mic.com/articles/87809/23-ways-feminists-have-made-the-world-better-for-women |

Content: Peggy McIntosh explains the concept of white privilege as an " invisible backpack " of unearned rights and privileges that white people enjoy. " Privilege exists when one group has something of value that is denied to others simply because of the groups they belong to, rather than because of anything they've done or failed to do," reads a quote commonly attributed to Peggy McIntosh. " Access to privilege doesn't determine one's outcomes, but it is definitely an asset that makes it more likely that whatever talent, ability, and aspirations a person with privilege has will result in something positive for them." Here are just a few of the things that are more or likely to be true if one happens to have been born white in America: 1. You are less likely to be arrested. Flikr
Research shows that white Americans are less likely to be arrested and jailed. While people of color only make up 30% of the total population, they are 60% of the U.S. prison population. This discrepancy is particularly apparent when it comes to nonviolent drug offenses, where people of color are jailed at much higher rates , even though drug use in the white community is higher than in the African-American community. According to Human Rights Watch, people of color are no more likely to use or sell illegal drugs than whites, but they have much higher rates of arrests. | https://www.mic.com/articles/89653/7-actual-facts-that-prove-white-privilege-exists-in-america |

While only 14% of black people use drugs regularly, 37% of those arrested for drugs are black. This trend holds true for children of color as well, who are more likely to be perceived as guilty. The so-called school-to-prison pipeline targets children of color, funnelling them into the criminal justice system early due to unfair zero tolerance policies in American schools. "In Chicago, twenty-five young people were involved in [a] food fight in the cafeteria and instead of being punished by having to clean up the cafeteria, they were suspended from school and arrested," notes the Advancement Project. 2. | https://www.mic.com/articles/89653/7-actual-facts-that-prove-white-privilege-exists-in-america |

9 Facts Shatter the Biggest Stereotypes About People Who Are Fat
1. BMI is BS.
2. Fat people don't all have poor eating and exercise habits.
3. Fat itself isn't unhealthy.
4. Being fat doesn't signify a lack of willpower.
5. Size discrimination is real.
6. Fat shaming isn't helpful.
7. Fat people are not desperate for dates.
8. Not everyone wants to be skinny.
9. The word fat is not an insult.
Content: Even if being fat were actually a major health crisis, research shows that most diets just don't work in the long run — debunking the myth that being fat is simply due to being lazy. The rise in the number of people considered overweight cannot be written off as an individual lack of conviction. Indeed, International Journal of Obesity editor Richard L. Atkinson wrote in 2005 that the belief that "obesity is simply the result of a lack of willpower and an inability to discipline eating habits is no longer defensible." As neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt points out in her recent TedTalk, individuals have unique weight "set points." Losing weight outside of this range is really, really hard, and to chalk up the failure to do so to willpower is both disrespectful and ignorant. To put it in perspective, 95-98% of dieters regain any weight lost, and sometimes more, within three years. This makes sense: UCLA's A. Janet Tomiyama told the university that if "dieting worked, it wouldn't be a $60 billion-dollar industry," and that our genes' power over our weight "is about the same" as their power over our height. The truth is that we still don't know exactly how to healthfully lose weight and keep it off. As Paul F. Campos writes in the LA Times, " [T]he human body is a vastly more complex mechanism than a car engine, and the simple logic behind the idea that people will lose weight by eating less and exercising more isn't simple as much as it's hopelessly simplistic." | https://www.mic.com/articles/91407/9-facts-shatter-the-biggest-stereotypes-about-people-who-are-fat |

Content: Once the young man from a small state, Biden is now a household name. And after serving in the White House alongside former President Barack Obama, his views on everything from health care to unions and sexual assault prevention are well-known to the public. But there's one mainstay issue on which it's hard to pin Biden down: reproductive rights and abortion access. As Biden's political career has progressed, the national discourse around reproductive choice and abortion access has shifted dramatically — after all, he was elected before the Supreme Court handed down its landmark ruling on Roe v. Wade in 1973, which protected access to abortion under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. Since then, the Supreme Court's 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey has allowed states to slowly chip away at clinic and abortion access, which has in turn polarized the debate around reproductive health care. For most candidates, abortion is now less of lightning rod and more of a litmus test. Most Democrats will say that they are the pro-choice party. Democrats also tend to believe that religious practice can coexist with pro-choice values: Hillary Clinton and her 2016 running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, are devout Methodist and Catholic, respectively. | https://www.mic.com/p/what-exactly-is-bidens-view-on-abortion-a-look-at-his-less-than-consistent-record-22601986 |

As a practicing Catholic, he's often cited his faith as determining factor in his approach.

During the Civil War (1861-1865), President Lincoln needed money to finance the War from the North. The Bankers were going to charge him 24% to 36% interest. Lincoln was horrified and went away greatly distressed, for he was a man of principle and would not think of plunging his beloved country into a debt that the country would find impossible to pay back.

Content: The North won the War, and the Union was preserved. America remained as one nation. Of course, the Bankers were not going to give in that easy, for they were determined to put an end to Lincoln's interest-free, debt-free Greenbacks. He was assassinated by an agent of the Bankers shortly after the War ended. Thereafter, Congress revoked the Greenback Law and enacted, in its place, the National Banking Act. The national banks were to be privately owned and the national bank notes they issued were to be interest bearing. The Act also provided that the Greenbacks should be retired from circulation as soon as they came back to the Treasury in payment of taxes. In 1972, the United States Treasury Department was asked to compute the amount of interest that would have been paid if that 400 million dollars would have been borrowed at interest instead of being issued by Abraham Lincoln. They did some computations, and a few weeks later, the United States Treasury Department said the United States Government saved 4 billion dollars in interest because Lincoln had created his own money. So you can about imagine how much the Government has paid and how much we owe solely on the basis of interest. | https://www.michaeljournal.org/articles/politics/item/abraham-lincoln-and-john-f-kennedy |

Content: The national banks were to be privately owned and the national bank notes they issued were to be interest bearing. The Act also provided that the Greenbacks should be retired from circulation as soon as they came back to the Treasury in payment of taxes.

So you can about imagine how much the Government has paid and how much we owe solely on the basis of interest. The Federal Reserve Act
There were changes in the money and banking laws for the next fifty years. Finally, in 1913, the Bankers were able to get their Federal Reserve Act passed through Congress which replaced the National Banking Act that had earlier replaced the Greenback Law. If the Government would have continued the policy of Abraham Lincoln, the warnings given in “The London Times” would have come to pass. America would be a debt-free nation, the most prosperous in the world. And the brains and the wealth of the world would have come to America. | https://www.michaeljournal.org/articles/politics/item/abraham-lincoln-and-john-f-kennedy |

Content: It has already plunged this country over six trillion dollars into debt – Federal debt, (the total debt, including that of individuals and corporations, is over 20 trillion) a debt it will never be able to pay, and has been responsible for every kind corruption imaginable. Yet, barely a peep of protest can be heard from the American people. All the Bankers have to do to keep their power is to get rid of the few politicians who are honestly working for a reform in our economic system, and the people at large remain ignorant and controlled. It is obvious the American people need to be awakened to the truth. The population at large must be educated on the Federal Reserve, and then unite together to put pressure on the Government to get the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 repealed. Otherwise, it will spell disaster for the United States. There can be no peace without justice, and there can be no justice without a reform in our economic system, for the financiers are behind all the corruption in our Government. Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy both had the courage to stand up for principles and to fight for justice. They have both gone down in history as being | https://www.michaeljournal.org/articles/politics/item/abraham-lincoln-and-john-f-kennedy |

Content: We’ve picked out some of the key strategies you could utilize in your leadership development once you’ve hired and identified your own future leaders. Give Them Wider Business Exposure
Ensure that your future leaders are able to fully appreciate all aspects of your business, not just their current department. You should also encourage them to gain a broad understanding of your industry as well the future possible directions for your organization. This is essential knowledge for any future business manager who may one day make the decisions that shape your organization. Change Their Role and Responsibilities
Leadership development works best when your future leaders understand the importance of all the different roles in your organization. One day, it will be them making decisions that could affect all areas of the business, so it’s important that they develop an understanding from different perspectives. Challenge Them With Real Business Situations
Placing your future leaders in real business situations will push and stretch them as much as possible while they attempt to solve or overcome the challenges you give them. Giving them difficult or heavy projects will reveal their capabilities and capacities as well as develop their critical thinking skills and creativity when faced with unfamiliar tasks. They will learn new skills, and you’ll enhance their commitment to your organization by boosting their confidence in what they can achieve. Set Support Systems in Place
As an employer, you have a responsibility to support all your employees and your future leaders who will depend on you for support while they further their careers. | https://www.michaelpage.com/advice/management-advice/development-and-retention/how-develop-your-future-leaders |

As an employer, you have a responsibility to support all your employees and your future leaders who will depend on you for support while they further their careers. Not all the decisions they make will be your ideal course of action, yet outwardly showing support for your future leaders demonstrates trust and respect in them. Provide Mentoring and Coaching
Aspiring leaders should feel that there is someone they can turn to for advice, guidance, and support on a professional level. You can appoint mentors by choosing your current leaders, or ask retired executives or relevant professionals in other companies for their input. Developing a structured mentoring program is important so you can determine the specifics of the relationships and track mentoring progress. Give Feedback
Without regular constructive feedback, your leadership development program can fail before it has had a chance to flourish. | https://www.michaelpage.com/advice/management-advice/development-and-retention/how-develop-your-future-leaders |

Without regular constructive feedback, your leadership development program can fail before it has had a chance to flourish. Let your future leaders know how they are performing, and give them praise and advice to encourage them on their journey. They will be eager to find out if they are doing a good job and if there are any areas for improvement or further development. Feedback will help you to identify early on if there are any issues or if you need to make any changes to the pace or structure of their development. Reward Them Fairly
Recognize your future leaders’ achievements and growth throughout the leadership development program, and reward them accordingly. This may be in the form of performance goals, the challenge of further responsibility, a new job title, financial incentives or even a greater stake in the company’s future or the company itself. | https://www.michaelpage.com/advice/management-advice/development-and-retention/how-develop-your-future-leaders |

Marijuana Quick Facts
Sources
Content: Eventually the user desires to use more despite health problems. Marijuana usersoften develop a tolerance to the drug that makes them want to use more in order to achieve a high. Those addicted to marijuana are unable to slow down or discontinue their use of the drug and often rationalize their use as not being a problem. Marijuana use can enhance a user’s sensory perception and levels of euphoria. Then the user often experiences slowed reaction time, feelings of drowsiness, and increased heart rate and appetite. As long-term user persists, individuals can have problems with learning and memory. 1
Because the drug impairs short-term memory and judgment and distorts perception, it can impair performance at work or in an academic setting. 2
Marijuana use can also cause a shift away from friends and family towards a new “drug-friendly” crowd that also uses drugs. Marijuana is considered to be both emotionally and mentally addictive. Essentially, the drug becomes part of your persona. | https://www.michaelshouse.com/marijuana-addiction/some-quick-facts/ |

Content: People in this Pole show it by being opinionated — they have an opinion about everything, even when they do not have actual knowledge of it. They perceive the world behaving arbitrarily (since they do not understand its true functions, which are not arbitrary), and they are also arbitrary. When people get set in this Pole, their belief patterns are difficult to change. Their "mind is made up, so don't confuse me with the facts." They may accept some theory or fringe doctrine about the nature of reality which cannot be substantiated. The fear that drives -Dogma is the fear of being wrong or ignorant. Dogmatic people want to believe that they have correctly understood the workings of the world. Without adequate knowledge, they will nevertheless declare that they have correctly perceived the situation. If they are to actually achieve clear perception, they should consider and apply the Positive Pole of the other six Attitudes. If they experiment with viewing life through the eyes of other people with these other viewpoints, they will gain a perspective of what is really going on. | https://www.michaelteachings.com/pragmatist_attitude.html |
