Highlighter hues feel MUCH more wearable when integrated into a classic winged liner. Double up with an extra black line for added drama. Purple Haze

At first glance, this looks like your typical charcoal blend, but Zendaya's actually wearing a deep plum shade that serves just as much drama. To keep the focus on her eyes, Z did a subtle lip and light brows. Bronze Shimmer

Instead of matching her makeup to her bright fuschia gown, Zoe Kravitz went ultra daring with a glittering copper eye. She used a glossy lip that matched both the dress and her eyeshadow to pull it all together. Liquid Gold

Halsey's 2019 Met Gala look was pretty extra, but she kept her makeup elegant and glam. She did a classic wing, then added a dusting of metallic gold shimmer to her inner corners and lid. It's not too much, just enough.

Rampant shoplifting leads to another Walgreens closing in S.F.
Content: “All of us knew it was coming. Whenever we go in there, they always have problems with shoplifters, ” said longtime customer Sebastian Luke, who lives a block away and is a frequent customer who has been posting photos of the thefts for months. The other day, Luke photographed a man casually clearing a couple of shelves and placing the goods into a backpack. “I feel sorry for the clerks, they are regularly being verbally assaulted,” Luke said. “ The clerks say there is nothing they can do. They say Walgreens’ policy is to not get involved. They don’t want anyone getting injured or getting sued, so the guys just keep coming in and taking whatever they want.” For security reasons, Walgreens declined to provide details on their security policies, but Caruso did say that “the safety of our team members and customers is our top concern.” A recent trip to the store revealed aisle after aisle of empty or near-empty shelves. Beauty supplies appear to be a favored target.

Beauty supplies appear to be a favored target. Most of the remaining products were locked behind plastic theft guards, which have become increasingly common at drugstores in recent years. But at Van Ness Avenue and Eddy Street, even the jugs of clothing detergent on display were looped with locked anti-theft cables. When a clerk was asked where all the goods had gone, he said, “Go ask the people in the alleys, they have it all.” Homeless encampments are common in the neighborhood, including two just across Eddy Street. No sooner had the clerk spoken than a man wearing a virus mask walked in, emptied two shelves of snacks into a bag, then headed back for the door.

Pork Tenderloin With Do-Ahead Cream Sauce
Doubled Pork Tenderloin Technique
Content: Follow the technique for doubled pork tenderloin (above) or prepare them individually as follows. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let sit at least 15 minutes to come to room temperature. Move a rack to the middle and preheat the oven to 400°. Trim and discard the tough silver skin. If the tail end is much thinner than the rest of the tenderloin, turn it under and tie with butcher's string to help the pork cook more evenly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of a large-size ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, carefully add the tenderloins. Sear on all sides except one; wait to turn the meat until it easily releases and moves without sticking when you shake the pan, 2 minutes per side.

When you turn to the last unbrowned side, place the skillet in the oven; roast until the internal temperature reaches 140° on a meat thermometer, 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the tenderloin. The meat will be fully cooked but with a blush of pink inside. Place the tenderloins on a cutting board, lightly tent with foil and let rest 5-10 minutes; slice to desired thickness.

My Life as a Eunuch

Content: After decades of obsessing over his balls and a botched attempt at cutting them off that could have killed him, he was finally castrated in 1994. For legal reasons “Gelding,” age 54, didn't want his real name used for this story. But he's a legendary figure in the eunuch subculture, where he acts as a kind of den mother for the genitally obsessed, someone to whom a man can turn when he decides the cojones need to go. In the past four years, he's counseled some 4,000 men. He also acts as a broker between cutters and potential cuttees, and, less frequently, performs the surgery himself. “I know what's involved,” he says. “ One of the reasons why I am doing this is to help other guys avoid the problems. In that respect it is humanitarian. In another respect I will admit to a certain amount of sexual excitement from the whole idea.” Castration is a time-honored tradition.

Content: Today, short of cancer or a desire to become a woman surgically, there is no medical reason to get emasculated. It's certainly not something you can brag about at the class reunion. Even as an extreme punitive measure for sex offenders, castration is looked down upon. All of that makes Gelding a figure of considerable intrigue. Not that you'd know it by looking at him. He stands 5-foot-9 or so and has a beefy build, a trim goatee going gray around the edges, and close-cropped hair. He's openly gay, prefers bottom but will be a top when the situation arises, and calls himself a “bear” because of an impressive crop of body hair. Conversations with him cover a lot of ground, from computer-programming languages to ball torture, from chaos theory to bull ejaculators. ( Gelding's verdict on the fourth: “ Interesting but not particularly pleasurable.”)

Paying such close attention to one portion of your undergraduate education might seem harsh, but Bates says schools want to make sure they’re accepting students who are prepared. “ If you're not doing well in biology and chemistry, you're probably going to have a tough time in veterinary school,” he adds. "If you're not doing well in biology and chemistry, you're probably going to have a tough time in veterinary school."

The Marriage of Love and Death
Content: Scene Summary ]
As the dawn brings their wedding-night to a close, Juliet claims that it's still dark, so Romeo doesn't have to leave her just yet. Romeo knows she's indulging in wishful thinking, but he's willing to play along with it. He says that if Juliet will have it so, it's ok if he is captured and dies: " I have more care to stay than will to go: / Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so" (3.5.23-24). Later in the same scene, after Juliet has severely disappointed her mother by saying that she will not marry Paris, Capulet arrives, expecting to find his daughter joyful at the news that she is to marry Paris. Instead, he finds Juliet in tears, and asks his wife if she has told Juliet the happy news, but his wife replies bitterly, "Ay, sir; but she will none, she gives you thanks. / I would the fool were married to her grave!"

What does Juliet think about marriage? 2015-02-12 ~ duane
Juliet’s thoughts on marriage change during the play, so the answer to the question depends on whether we look in Act 1 Scene 3 or Act 2 Scene 2. Juliet is first mentioned when Paris comes asking her father for Juliet’s hand in marriage. Her father tells Paris that her opinion counts, and that he will not force her to marry someone she does not love: Capulet. But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart,
My will to her consent is but a part; An she agree, within her scope of choice
Lies my consent and fair according voice. We next see Juliet with her mother, who is working her from a different angle: Lady Capulet.

Is It Bad for Your Health to Try ~ Not ~ to Cry? Here's what happens to your body when you turn off the waterworks

The urge to ugly-cry always seems to strike at the worst possible times-at work, on a date-leaving you no choice but to postpone your sobs until further notice. But since crying isn't exactly something you can pick back up later (say, on a day off or when you finally have the whole place to yourself), what kind of mark does "sucking it up" leave on your body? Crying is essentially a release valve that rids your body of excess stress and tension, so when a sobfest is on the horizon and you hold it in, your body's sympathetic nervous system (or fight-or-flight response) kicks into gear, says Nicole Van Groningen, M.D., an internist at NYU Langone Medical Center. Your brain signals your adrenal glands to release stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. These chemicals boost your heart rate and blood pressure, which can translate into chest tightness and heavy breathing as you force yourself not to cry. These hormones can also mess with your appetite and blood sugar levels, hence the pre-meltdown butterflies and energy surge. "Suppressing an emotion (in this case, frustration or sadness) actually heightens it and makes you feel worse," says psychologist Nikki Martinez, Psy.

Title: Try Not to Cry: Is Holding Back Tears Bad for Your Health? | Shape
Headings: Is It Bad for Your Health to Try ~ Not ~ to Cry?
Is It Bad for Your Health to Try ~ Not ~ to Cry?
Here's what happens to your body when you turn off the waterworks
Content: Crying is essentially a release valve that rids your body of excess stress and tension, so when a sobfest is on the horizon and you hold it in, your body's sympathetic nervous system (or fight-or-flight response) kicks into gear, says Nicole Van Groningen, M.D., an internist at NYU Langone Medical Center. Your brain signals your adrenal glands to release stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. These chemicals boost your heart rate and blood pressure, which can translate into chest tightness and heavy breathing as you force yourself not to cry. These hormones can also mess with your appetite and blood sugar levels, hence the pre-meltdown butterflies and energy surge. "Suppressing an emotion (in this case, frustration or sadness) actually heightens it and makes you feel worse," says psychologist Nikki Martinez, Psy. D. "So while you might think you're distracting yourself, the stress is actually growing." The occasional tear detour is one thing (blubbering mid-meeting probably wouldn't go over well with the boss), but doing so on the regular gives your body's stress response more opportunities to cause trouble, she adds. In the short-term, it can cause pesky problems like irritability, anxiety, and poor sleep, and over time high blood pressure, heart problems, and diabetes. Not cool. So if you need to bawl and are able to take a minute, it's in your best interest to go ahead and cry before going back to your regularly scheduled programming, says Van Groningen.

Content: With Adderall especially [for my ADHD], I had some friends accuse me of drug abuse — I confided in them, and their misinformation and thoughts on Adderall being a 'recreational drug' led them to pass judgment on me," she says. Kevin Gilliland, Psy. D., a clinical psychologist in Dallas, believes some of this shame and misinformation exists because "not all diagnoses are equal." There's a hierarchy of sorts when it comes to how we look at different conditions. " People are more than willing to talk about their high blood pressure, but a lot less willing to talk about their STD; similarly, people have become more willing to talk about anxiety or mood issues but less likely to talk about addiction issues. That has to do with perception, bias, fear, experience, and at some level, stigma." This stigma not only prevents people from seeking the mental health care and treatment they need in the first place, but also stops them from talking to their doctor about (or even considering) prescription meds, keeps them from filling that prescription, and stops them from taking it continually as prescribed. There's more than just anecdotal evidence, either: Surveys (shared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Psychological Association (APA) and published in The Mental Health Clinician — just to cite a few) find the majority of people have witnessed biased and negative views regarding mental health-related issues, or feel that way themselves.

Where did this stigma come from, and why are we still dealing with it in 2020, when diagnoses (and prescriptions) for mental health conditions have increased exponentially? Because stigma, shame, and misinformation at large serve as massive barriers between patients and fundamental healthcare, we need to address this head-on to figure out what we can do about it. The Origin of the Stigma
An Early Look at Mental Health
"The stigma [attached to psychiatric medication] likely originated before the 19th century, when there were limited biological treatment options for mental illness," says board-certified psychiatrist W. Nate Upshaw, M.D., medical director of NeuroSpa TMS in Florida. " With no great treatment options available, patients suffering from mental health problems were often stigmatized because they were likely to suffer chronic problems from their mental health issues and often had to be institutionalized."

Dr. Upshaw shared that although with the advent of psychiatric medications, patients who would have been institutionalized were able to improve and often return to normal functioning lives, the stigma didn't dissolve, particularly in the U.S.
"We have to look at how the mentally ill have been treated by society (including the medical society) in the past," says Dr. Rivera. This, "in addition to the many times that criminal behaviors have been attributed to mental illness, hence creating a culture of fear around the mentally ill and ignoring the scientific data that indicates otherwise." Think about the 4,000-year history of telling women they have hysteria (for any range of symptoms) and prescribing marriage, sex, and even hysterectomies as treatment; giving general lobotomies to people with depression (a procedure that severs connections in your prefrontal cortex, i.e., cuts up your brain); sending patients with schizophrenia into insulin comas;

Content: People with different types of mood disorders or mental illness have been considered "alien" for a long time. " At the beginning of modern medicine, the conditions then recognized as mental illness — such as 'mania' and 'schizophrenia' — had behavioral signs obvious to most people who viewed them as forms of madness, and lead to hospitalization in asylums treated by doctors called 'alienists,' because they treated people who were alienated from their group," says Dr. Herrick. Basically, those with mental conditions were largely left untreated, which led to their behaviors being drastically divergent from the 'normalcy' of their groups, which (as you might've guessed) then led them to be ostracized or banished from their groups. And as we're genetically programmed to 'need' our social circles for survival, we then interpret any kind of mental health issue as a fast track to losing everything. Having a mental condition threatened survival from a social standpoint. Systemic Stigma
Stigma doesn't just stem from our social circles — and it's not just a matter of being judged by peers. Some stigma is built into our societal structure. Threat of Discrimination
"Receiving mental health treatment, including medications, can lead to [illegal] discrimination at work, with housing, and with insurance," says Dr. Upshaw. " Specific jobs require people to disclose mental health problems, and they may even go as far as requiring the patient's physician to list the medications the patient is taking; these rules are not always based on scientific evidence and can border on discrimination."

Content: Discrimination against patients who need to take certain medication only serves to deepen the stigma and elongate the distance between 'health' and 'mental health,' when they're actually one and the same. Treating psychiatric medication differently than, say, an antispasmodic medication (used for IBS) or blood pressure medication, subversively yet powerfully keeps the world of mental health separate, and those who are in it feel othered; somehow different from every other patient receiving care for other types of health issues. This is further compounded when insurance companies force you to go through a different company to find a psychiatrist versus oncologist or family physician and then deny coverage for treatments and prescriptions. "These are all forms of individual, systemic, and structural stigmatization built into our culture and institutions," says Dr. Herrick. " Insurers may look at a prescription a

Have your carbs and eat them, too.
1. Dieting triggers overeating.
2. Hello, social withdrawal.
3. You could be cutting out things your body needs.
4. It triggers unnecessary guilt.
Content: "A diet denotes that you're on something you could go off," says Deanna Minich, Ph.D., nutritionist and author of Whole Detox: A 21-Day Personalized Program to Break Through Barriers in Every Area of Your Life. " And we don't want to set people up for failure." Dieters typically shed 5 to 10 percent of their starting weight within the first six months, according to researchers at UCLA. But there's a catch: The same researchers found that at least one- to two-thirds of people on diets regain more weight than they lost within four or five years, and the true number may well be significantly higher. Even anecdotally, we all know people who have tried diet after diet, with no long-term success. And there's a good chance you've done the same. Still, so many of us go back time and time again to diets that haven't worked-every time thinking maybe if I did this one thing differently or I know I can stick it out this time, often blaming ourselves. Well, we're here to tell you it's not your fault.

Content: In this video, psychiatrist Drew Ramsey, MD, explains how our emotions play a large role in our physical health. John Douillard, DC
Herbal Medicine
From an Ayurvedic perspective, our emotional health is directly linked with our physical well-being. For instance, research shows that laughter increases a positive mood and boosts the body’s immune system. Science also shows that living life with a sattvic (or positive) attitude has a profound effect on our health by activating the parasympathetic (resting and digesting) nervous system, supporting us to heal and thrive. Conversely, stress and negative emotions activate the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system. Too much stress can make it challenging for the healthy microbes in our gut to survive, which can affect our ability to deal with stressors and our digestion. Increased happiness levels have been shown to dramatically reduce hospital readmission rates related to patients with heart-related hospital stays. Similarly, optimists have been shown to have better recovery rates after surgeries, and in a study involving male war veterans, optimists showed healthier pulmonary function and reduced risk of cardiovascular issues than pessimists. Interestingly, longevity has also been shown to be linked with sharing your emotions. Other studies showed that writing a love letter significantly reduced total cholesterol levels in its authors, while expressing gratitude also boots our health and well-being.

What are the mental and physical effects of grief? Michael E. Hirsch, MD
Neurology
Grief affects the mind and the body. It can go hand in hand with a wide range of physical and mental problems, including memory impairment, difficulty concentrating, nutritional deficiencies, poor work performance, and difficulties in relationships. Indeed, bereavement increases the risk of death from a variety of causes, including suicide. The emotional maelstrom that grief stirs up can affect behavior and judgment. It's common, for example, to feel agitated or exhausted or to sob or withdraw from the world at times. Sometimes intrusive or upsetting memories surface, as can temporary sensations of things being unreal. Less commonly, grief can be associated with brief experiences of sensing the presence or hearing the voice of the deceased. Frequent thoughts of the person who died and feelings of self-reproach about aspects of the death are normal, too.

Content: At first, your grief may permeate everything. You may find it hard to eat or sleep. It may be difficult to muster much interest in the life going on around you. Symptoms similar to those the deceased had described may crop up in your own body—a frightening experience if he or she died from an illness. Some people, particularly children, may have other physical complaints, such as headaches, stomachaches, dizziness, or a racing heart. Restlessness, appetite fluctuations, and trouble sleeping are also common. Often, people note a surge in ailments such as colds and more serious illnesses. Studies show that people have a higher risk of sickness and even death after losing a spouse. Research stretching back for decades points to some reasons why this might occur. Many researchers believe that over time, stress-induced physiological changes cause or exacerbate physical ailments.

Proper prenatal care can set up you—and your fetus—for a successful start to life. During pregnancy, your friends and family are by your side—and so is your obstetrician. Plan to visit your obstetrician once or twice a month for the first eight months, and then every week for the final month. At these checkups, your doctor will monitor your health closely. Common underlying health problems can include hypertension and diabetes, which not only put your health at risk, but can also restrict blood flow to the placenta, thereby endangering the fetus.

What is involved in a prenatal physical exam? Paula Greer
Midwifery Nursing Specialist
A prenatal exam includes a thorough medical, family and social history to obtain all the necessary information to help take care of you during your pregnancy. It also includes some family and medical history from the father of the baby to determine if there any genetic factors that might affect your baby. It also includes a regular physical exam like you would get with your primary care provider plus a thorough pelvic exam like you would get with your ob/gyn. A thorough physical is done to assure you have no medical problems that would affect your pregnancy. Many tests will be performed including pap smears, STD cultures, urine testing, bloodwork and ultrasounds. It is important to know things like your blood type, whether you are immune to things like rubella which can cause birth defects during pregnancy, as well as whether you currently have any signs of cancer or infections or any recent exposures to things which might harm your baby. Your uterus will be sized to see how far along your pregnancy is and if you are having more than one baby. A dating sonogram will also be ordered to confirm the findings.

You should share with them any medicine you are taking and any allergies you may have. Do not be embarrassed to tell them about any history of abnormal pap smears, infections, history of batter or abuse, or if you have had an abortion or any procedure done to your uterus or cervix. This is really important to help us provide you the safest care for you and your baby. Make a list of questions to take with you for your first visit to your midwife or ob/gyn.

During the initial prenatal visit the physical examination will include a complete head to toe assessment of the woman. The purpose of a comprehensive examination is to gather baseline data about the woman’s health status as well as to identify any non-pregnancy related, pre-existing condition. A pelvic examination and collection of cultures and lab test will also be completed. At subsequent visits the physical examination is limited to an assessment of the growing pregnancy. In other words, the physical examination focuses on the abdomen, breasts and inquiries about bladder and bowel functions, weight gain, and vital signs.

Specific laboratory tests are performed at designated intervals as are ultrasound examinations. During the first and second trimester vaginal exams are usually performed based on the presence of findings such as complaints of uterine contractions, vaginal bleeding or vaginal discharge. In the late third trimester a vaginal exam is usually performed at each visit to assess the cervix for signs of effacement and dilatation. Show More

Continue Learning about Strength Training & Exercise
Content: RealAge
Aim for a minimum of three 10-minute sessions per week. You may want to devote a larger percentage of your workout to strength training as you get older. David Slovik, MD
Endocrinology Diabetes & Metabolism
The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines recommend strengthening exercises for all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, chest, abdominals, shoulders, and arms) twice or more weekly. One set is effective, though two to three sets may be better, according to limited evidence. A set is a specific number of repetitions of an exercise; we recommend repeating each exercise eight to 12 times. Your body needs at least 48 hours for recovery and repairs between strength training sessions. Adam Krueger on behalf of Sanford Health
Fitness
On average if you can strength train 3-4 days a week that is fantastic. 1-2 days is ok but you will not see results as quickly after a few months of training, you will plateau. 4-5 days is difficult for a lot of people but will show great results, you just have to be careful when doing this to not overdo your training and ensuring you are resting muscles for at least a full day after a workout.

Pharmacy
It's best to take vitamin B12 (cobalamin) with other B vitamins, including vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), to prevent a B-vitamin imbalance. Some studies show that supplement combinations of vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and folic acid may reduce the risk of stroke. Other studies show that combinations of these three B vitamins may lower the risk of cervical and breast cancers. More study is needed to confirm these findings. Talk to your doctor about your need for B vitamins and whether taking supplements is recommended for you. Show More

What is the best way to take vitamin B7? dotFIT
Taking vitamin B9 as part of a balanced multiple vitamin and mineral formula (like the dotFIT ActiveMV) is probably the easiest way. Should you know you need only additional B9, then a specific product containing folic acid is recommended. Dosing of up to 800mcg/day (depending on intake from food) from dietary supplements is often recommended. Neal Spruce on behalf of dotFIT
Fitness
Through diet and a daily multivitamin and mineral formula taken with a meal. B7 (also known as biotin) sources include Swiss chard, eggs (mainly the yolk), liver, some vegetables and supplements. Most daily multivitamin and mineral formulas (MVM) contain all the biotin necessary (and probably a little more) for normal healthy people. Although full biotin deficiencies are rare, marginal deficiencies have been shown in certain populations such as during pregnancy, athletes, dieters, elderly, alcoholics, and burn patients, which can lead to decreased energy production and other biotin-related functions. For this reason we always recommend a daily MVM to all populations containing between 100-300 mg of biotin (B7).

Cardiology (Cardiovascular Disease)
Yeast infections can be as annoying as they are itchy, so that's why you should take precautions to keep them from developing (though they are quite common). These tips will help. Avoid tight-fitting or synthetic-fiber clothes (wear cotton panties instead); you should also avoid pantyhose. The tightness increases the likelihood that the area becomes a breeding ground for the bacteria. Use a blow dryer on a low, cool setting to dry your genital area after a shower or after sweating (and change out of wet clothes immediately). Bacteria like things wet. Spurn them by giving them a Sahara-like setting.

Internal Medicine
You should avoid sexual activity until you complete your treatment and your symptoms go away. These infections are not considered sexually transmitted diseases, but they may make sex uncomfortable. Sexual activity may also increase the chance these infections will develop. A bladder infection, also called cystitis, is a form of urinary tract infection. It occurs when bacteria grow in the normally sterile bladder. The bacteria may be present on the genital skin and gain access to the bladder during sex. If the bacteria are not flushed out quickly -- by staying well hydrated and urinating enough -- they start to grow and an infection starts. A simple urinary tract infection stays in the bladder and does not travel to the kidneys.

No, it is not necessary for your partner to be treated if you have a yeast infection. I do tell patients that when they are doing a 3-night course of over-the-counter medications for yeast infections that they should refrain from intercourse. If your sexual partner is not circumcised, sometimes yeast can harbor in the foreskin of his penis, and this could possibly increase the chances of him giving you the yeast infection again so this is something to ask your partner as well as to discuss with your healthcare provider.

Get the Guide to Identity Marketing.
Content: By tapping into the deep-seated attributes that members of a consumer tribe share—such as their life stage (students, seniors), occupation (teachers), or affiliation (the military community, first responders)—brands build goodwill. This results in higher repeat purchase rates from ideal customer groups. Identity marketing also protects a brand’s profit margins because it is a form of personalized marketing in which brands create an offer to a specific consumer tribe, rather than making an offer available to every customer. Identity marketing leverages the power of tribal marketing by harnessing the deep connections of the group’s members, who virally share the offer with their network. Research shows that 71% of teachers who receive a personalized offer would share it with their colleagues. And 96% of the military would share a personalized offer with others in the military community. Identity-Based Promotions and Student Seed Marketing
College students present a huge opportunity, particularly for software companies. With 235 million college students globally and 44 million in the US alone, college students have more than $593 billion in buying power. They are obsessed with technology and are always searching for good deals. Nearly two-thirds of college students cite financial concerns as particularly stressful.

Black history is still important and should be taught to all students, not just African-American students. Students are taught mathematics, science and American history because it is important. Black history, which focuses on the contributions that African Americans made in the past and continue to make, is also important and should be taught in schools. More: Black History Month is a way for us to celebrate our culture
When students are educated not to respect or appreciate the fact that African Americans have always made good and valuable contributions to society in the United States, they are taught not to respect and appreciate the African Americans currently living in the United States. The end result is insensitivity, distrust and a disdain for treating other people, particularly African Americans and other students of color as they should be treated. There are four big reasons why black history is important and should still be taught in the United States. Racism is still alive and well in America. It is not possible to live in America without seeing incidents of racism every day.

It is not possible to live in America without seeing incidents of racism every day. One can see incidents on the news when unarmed African Americans are shot in the back and killed by police, while heavily-armed white Americans are permitted to take over federal land and buildings unmolested by state or federal police authorities. It can be seen in high schools across the nation when white high school girls think it is cute or fun to arrange their shirts to say the “N word” and pose for photographs. It can be seen when African Americans are told that the reason they don’t get nominated for Oscars is because they don’t have the talent while ignoring the fact that they are not given the opportunity to work and their movies are not watched by those voting for the awards. It can be seen by the unequal treatment blacks and whites receive in the crimes they are charged with and the sentences they are given once charged. More:

Teaching black history is a “two-for”
When the children learn these lessons at school, they go home and share what they learn with their parents. This benefits society as a whole because it means that the issue of race will be talked about in more homes across the United States. Conversations about race are important because things cannot change and get better without conversations. Most parents have had the experience of children rushing home from school and excitedly sharing what was learned that day. This is how many parents learn about scientific discoveries and new ways to do mathematics.

When children study black history in school, they and their parents are both exposed to the fact that African Americans don’t just take from the United States, but also give and give good, wonderful and necessary things. Black history teaches students and their parents by teaching them about the contributions of African Americans to the United States.

There are still places in the United States where students can go their entire educational careers without ever interacting with African Americans. In many places in the United States, neighborhoods, schools and towns are heavily segregated. Often, this segregation is the result of economics, history, culture and tradition. This means that school students have no personal experience to counter the negative messages they hear about African Americans. If all that children are ever taught about African Americans is what they see on television, in movies and on the news, they will have a skewed and negative view of African Americans, which will impact how they treat African Americans and how they view the treatment of African Americans.

Black history is needed to give students both the correct facts about African Americans and to teach them to think properly about the contributions of African Americans both historically and currently. Teaching black history in schools helps students who have little or no interaction with African Americans to develop an accurate understanding of African Americans in the United States. Lack of cultural appreciation leads to xenophobia both in the United States and around the world. When students are taught black history in school, they get an understanding of many different types people.

This attitude can lead to misunderstanding, xenophobia and even war. Learning about black history fosters cultural appreciation and fights against xenophobia.

This attitude can lead to misunderstanding, xenophobia and even war. Learning about black history fosters cultural appreciation and fights against xenophobia. Learning about black history is good for all students, not just African American students. It helps end racism; it helps students and parents; it gives a full and honest view of African Americans and it helps fight xenophobic views. These things benefit all students and makes schools a place where all children can feel valued, appreciated and safe. This is extremely important because educators know, and have known for many years, that it is hard for children to learn when they feel undervalued, unimportant and unsafe. Teaching black history benefits students — not just during black history month, but all year long.

Content: Starting at the left edge of the wall, measure the desired size of the square across and make a vertical cut in the tape with a utility knife. From that point, measure across the tape, just the width of your tape and make another cut. Remove the cut section of tape you created. This cut section will be the width of the tape only. This is where you will lay your vertical strips of painter's tape to make your squares. Measure across the desired square size from the cut section, cut and remove another tape-wide section. Repeat the process across the rest of the wall space. Step 5: To complete the block pattern, apply vertical strips of tape crossing through the cut spaces you just made. Continue until the wall has your checkerboard pattern.

3 Ways to Get Involved in Local Government
June 2, 2020 | Kathleen Kiernan
Our country is at a turning point and as more and more people demand justice for Black men and women, you may be wondering how you can get involved and make a difference. One key way is to get involved in your local government. Did you know that there are over 500,000 elected offices in the United States and that most of them sit within 89,000 local governments? Local governments run our city utilities, libraries, fire departments, public swimming pools, parks, local law enforcement, and schools, just to name a few. Local government consists of city councilmembers, mayors, county commissioners, sheriffs, and school boards. In his article, “How to Make this Moment the Turning Point for Real Change,” former President Barack Obama highlights, “It’s mayors and county executives that appoint most police chiefs and negotiate collective bargaining agreements with police unions. It’s district attorneys and state’s attorneys that decide whether or not to investigate and ultimately charge those involved in police misconduct. Those are all elected positions. In some places, police review boards with the power to monitor police conduct are elected as well.” Local government touches every aspect of your life and affects how well you and your fellow community members can thrive in society.

If you want your city council to address an issue you care about, you can request they add it to their agenda. Once you are at the meeting, listen closely to what topics are presented and how your city councilors address them. What are their solutions? What are their thoughts and ideas for making your community a better place to live? Often, city council meetings will have a reserved time period, either at the end or the beginning, for citizen participation.

This is when you can verbally share your thoughts on a particular subject. Maybe you don’t like that tax increase or you want to see state grant money go to a particular service. City council meetings are the place for you to share that opinion. Your local government wants to hear from you so they can make an informed decision that addresses the concerns of their constituents. To find when your local government’s meetings are and the agenda, google your town or city’s name and “city council meetings.”

Are you looking for volunteer experience and have some free time on your hands to give back to your community? Try joining your town’s local board or commission. Many cities and counties have appointed local boards and commissions who advise the local government on a number of policy issues from public safety, education, housing, and economic development. Boards and commissions enable citizens to get involved in the policy-making process and allow for a broader perspective to be considered when a City Council is making decisions.

Content: Many towns have their own Youth Advisory Councils that serve as a way to get young people involved in local government and learn how policy is made. Take the city of Winston Salem, North Carolina for example. They have twenty appointed positions for youth to join and get involved in their city’s community programming. Boards and Commissions are almost always unpaid, volunteer positions, and they are great stepping stones to understanding how your local government works, meeting new community members, and exploring what life in public leadership could look like for you. To find out what boards and commissions are offered in your town, start by googling your local town or city’s name and “Boards and Commissions” or you can head to your city’s local government website. Volunteer for A Local Candidate’s Campaign
Not ready to fully step into the candidate position just yet but curious what goes into running for local office? Start by volunteering for your local candidate’s campaign. Local elections happen every single year across the country so be sure to check when your state’s elections for state and local government are. Local candidates will often rely heavily on volunteers to help them get out the vote, host events, and spread the word about their campaign. Volunteers often go door knocking, which is going door to door in a certain area to share information about your candidate and ask citizens who they plan on voting for on Election Day.

Content: Volunteer for A Local Candidate’s Campaign
Not ready to fully step into the candidate position just yet but curious what goes into running for local office? Start by volunteering for your local candidate’s campaign. Local elections happen every single year across the country so be sure to check when your state’s elections for state and local government are. Local candidates will often rely heavily on volunteers to help them get out the vote, host events, and spread the word about their campaign. Volunteers often go door knocking, which is going door to door in a certain area to share information about your candidate and ask citizens who they plan on voting for on Election Day. This is a great way to learn more about what your community is looking for in its leadership and get to know the lay of the land. And if you’re interested in running for local office one day, there’s no better way to learn how to run a campaign for a local position than to join one yourself. You’ll get to know the candidate more personally than you would for a congressional race and see up close what the day-to-day of a local campaign is like. Next time you see a yard sign with a candidate’s name or hear about someone running for city council in your town, check them out. Read their story, their platform, and sign up to volunteer.

Content: In fact, many introverts—people who find an abundance of social interaction draining and exhausting—become designers. Because you don’t have to spend your whole time communicating with others; there’s normally sufficient ‘quiet time’, in which you’re focused on one task, that allows you to recover. But whether you’re an extrovert, an introvert, or somewhere in between, you do have to like the idea of sharing and developing ideas with other people. A graphic design career is not the best choice for a ‘lone genius’. There’s (usually) no need for a formal business attire
Hate stiff white shirts and uncomfortable blazers? Relax. Graphic design is hands-on career for creative minds and designers tend to have more relaxed work attire. T-shirts, jeans and trainers are practically the uniform. You can’t be creative when your arms struggle to move in a formal business suit.

3. Natural skincare and cosmetics (popular beauty products)
Natural skincare and cosmetics have become increasingly popular as more consumers become aware of the effects artificial ingredients can have on their bodies and the environment. Consumers are turning toward personal care products that are made with natural ingredients such as aloe vera, active charcoal, tree oil, and more. A great example is Touchland, a fast-growing brand that has successfully upgraded the hand sanitizing experience to a whole new level. Recognized by Allure as a Best of Beauty award winner, named as a finalist for Fast Company’s 2020 Innovation by Design Awards, Touchland sells a hand sanitizer that brings style. Touchland launched in 2018 and grew quickly after a successful Kickstarter campaign, and then grew even faster after the COVID-19 pandemic hit. “We were already growing quickly when COVID began, then we completely sold out the first week of the pandemic.

Content: and the benefits and considerations for U.S. companies looking to break into the Chinese market. The Bumpy Road of U.S.-China Trade
In 2017, China stood as the largest economy in the world as measured by a Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences. The country became the world's largest exporter in 2010, and the largest trading nation in 2013. ( CIA World Factbook)
According to the International Trade Administration's (ITA) China Commercial Guide, U.S. exports to China in 2018 were $120.34 billion, down from $129.89 billion the previous year. U.S. exports of services to China were an estimated $58.9 billion. In 2018, the Trump Administration imposed a variety of tariffs on Chinese goods in response to what it called unfair trade practices. China responded with additional tariffs of its own on U.S. goods, and the two countries have battled back and forth ever since. According to the China Briefing website, "the U.S. has slapped tariffs on $550 billion worth of Chinese products. China, in turn, has set tariffs on $185 billion worth of U.S. goods." There appeared to a breakthrough in negotiations between the two countries in January 2020 when the two countries announced a Phase One Agreement, in which China agreed purchase an addition $200 billion of U.S.-made goods and services over 2020 and 2021.

Content: The Opportunities
While the risks of exporting to China undoubtedly loom large, the potential rewards to exporting to China may as well. Exporters should identify and cultivate opportunities while building a strategy to minimize the risks. Chinese officials continue to promise economic reforms to provide greater market access and protection to foreign investors, but these announcements are met with skepticism due to lack of details and timelines. Investors also cite inconsistent regulations, growing labor costs, licensing and registration problems, shortages of qualified employees, insufficient intellectual property protections, and other forms of Chinese protectionism as contributing to China’s deteriorating business climate. Areas of Growth in China
According to the ITA, China’s growing middle class will create market opportunities across a number of industries, and the manufacturing economy, which is already 50% larger than the U.S. manufacturing economy, will continue to evolve toward more technology-intensive high value-added production manufacturing. The promising areas for future growth include: Agriculture
Aviation
Environmental Technology
Medical Devices
Pharmaceuticals
Tourism
Export Assistance
If you do decide that the benefits of exporting to China outweigh the considerations, the best thing about exploring the opportunities to export to China is knowing you don’t need to go it alone. You can rely on assistance from your in-country allies, including the U.S. Commercial Service office, trade missions, and chambers of commerce. U.S. Commercial Service Offices
One of the first places to consider are your local and in-country U.S. Commercial Service offices. The Commercial Service in-country offices offer U.S. exporters business partners in China—on the ground in the country—and include representation by an agent, distributors or partners who can provide essential local knowledge and contacts that can be critical for your success.

Content: From 1519 to 1521, Cortés commanded the small Spanish expedition that eventually captured the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, allowing Cortés to take over as governor of Mexico. His willful disregard for authority pitted him against his superiors in Cuba and in Spain, and although his exploits were legendary and quite profitable, he died an embittered man in 1547. Without the advantageous impacts of the Columbian Exchange, Cortés' conquest of the Aztecs would have been impossible. In 1520, smallpox—a European disease for which the Aztecs had no immunities—ravaged the population of Tenochtitlan, infecting as much as half the population. The smallpox pandemic fatally weakened the Aztecs, allowing Cortés to prevail one year later. Hernando de Soto
Hernando de Soto (1496–1542) was a Spanish conquistador who led a disastrous expedition of conquest into the North American interior between 1539 and 1542. De Soto, who hoped to follow in the footsteps of Cortés and Pizarro, failed in his hunt for gold on the North American mainland. After leading his men on a fruitless three-year search throughout much of what now makes up the southeastern United States, de Soto died on the banks of the Mississippi River. His men fled back to Mexico. While de Soto's journey of conquest was an unmitigated failure, it was nevertheless historically significant.

His willful disregard for authority pitted him against his superiors in Cuba and in Spain, and although his exploits were legendary and quite profitable, he died an embittered man in 1547. The conquest of the Aztecs from 1519 to 1521 by a small band of Spaniards and their native allies still ranks as one of the most formidable military feats of all time. Cortés used tactics designed to divide the rival native nations of Mesoamerica against each other, using a large force of native allies to aid his attack against the hated Aztecs in their island capital city of Tenochtitlan. He was just as ruthless with his own troops as he was with the natives in the area, even going so far as to burn his boats to ensure that his men had no choice but to follow him. Cortés set the standard that all later conquistadores followed in the New World, and it was through his efforts and those of Francisco Pizarro and others that the large Native American empires of the New World were subjugated to Spanish rule.

By the time Europeans returned to the area again in the late-17th century, the Mississippi Valley appeared to be a depopulated wilderness. Moctezuma II
Moctezuma II (1466–1520), also known as Montezuma, was the last emperor of the Aztecs.

Content: One of the newest is the Department of Homeland Security, created by Congress in 2002 in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. One that impacts all of us on a daily basis is the Food and Drug Administration, created by Congress in 1906 in order to guarantee the purity of our food and medicine. An agency that has received a great deal of attention over the past several years is the Environmental Protection Agency. It was formed in 1971 by President Richard Nixon through a reorganization of several executive branch agencies to set and enforce anti-pollution standards. What is the difference between a department, an administration, an agency, an authority, and a commission? Departments are the largest organizations within the federal bureaucracy. There are fifteen executive departments (Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Justice, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs). Department heads are labeled secretaries (except for the Attorney General, who heads the Department of Justice), and these officials all serve in the president's cabinet. Most of the agencies, commissions, and administrations fall under one of the executive departments. The Food and Drug Administration, for example, is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Content: There are roughly 2.7 million civilians directly employed by the federal government. This includes more than 600,000 United States Postal workers. In addition, there are currently an additional 1.4 million serving in the armed forces. Why has the federal bureaucracy grown? The federal bureaucracy has grown as the public, and the Congress and presidents acting on its behalf, have concluded that more aspects of our domestic and international affairs required government attention. A number of new agencies were created during the Progressive Era, when there was a consensus that America's emerging industrial economy required regulation. The federal bureaucracy also expanded during the 1930s, when the public demanded government action in response to the Great Depression. And it grew further during World War II as the federal government mobilized all of society in support of the war effort. During the 1960s, Congress created still more agencies as part of President Johnson's Great Society program, a multifaceted campaign aimed at reducing poverty and increasing educational and economic opportunities in America. Have there been periods when the federal bureaucracy shrank?

Content: Imagination
We've mentioned that the American Romantics were really into individualism. Well, they also happened to be really into the imagination. And that's because they believed that the imagination is an expression of individual identity. If five of us were instructed to imagine a tree, for example, we would all imagine it differently, because we're five different people. Yup—we really are special, individual snowflakes. Not only did the American Romantics believe that the imagination expresses our individuality, they also believed that our imagination allows us to make insights that we couldn't arrive at through "rational" means. Our imagination, like our emotions, allows us access into a realm of knowledge that is beyond reason or rationality. Chew On This
Why is the imagination so important to the American Romantics? Because it can take us beyond ourselves. Check out Emily Dickinson's "There is No Frigate Like a Book," which deals with how books enrich our imagination.

Remember the American Revolution? Yeah, that was a pretty big deal. The thirteen American colonies broke away from Britain, the "mother country," because they were peeved about being taxed without having political representation.

Peter and Valentine Wiggin
Devil and Angel
At Shmoop, we like to imagine Ender’s older brother Peter and Ender’s older sister Valentine as the Devil and Angel on Ender’s shoulders, with one of them tempting him to do evil and the other pushing him to do good. Except…which one is which? The obvious answer is that Peter is the Devil, tempting Ender with evil, since Peter seems to be, to put it gently, psychopathic with a touch of crazy sauce. But then again, Ender isn’t at all tempted by Peter. In fact, the example of Peter the Crazy is one thing that Ender uses to measure his own evil by. Whenever he starts to beat kids up, Ender worries if he’ll turn into Peter. So, looked at that way, Peter inadvertently helps to keep Ender on the straight and narrow (i.e., not beating up little kids). And at first glance, Val seems to clearly be the kind Angel, helping Ender choose the right things. Except Val’s the one who convinces Ender (twice!) to keep fighting and help wipe out the buggers (which may or may not be a good thing).

So, looked at that way, Peter inadvertently helps to keep Ender on the straight and narrow (i.e., not beating up little kids). And at first glance, Val seems to clearly be the kind Angel, helping Ender choose the right things. Except Val’s the one who convinces Ender (twice!) to keep fighting and help wipe out the buggers (which may or may not be a good thing). Val is also the one who keeps telling Ender that she’ll always love him no matter what he does. That’s a very nice sentiment, but since he doesn’t have to worry about pissing off his beloved sister, Ender loses at least one reason to act like a nice guy. That is, Ender could pull the legs off ants and Val would still adore her little brother. That’s all a long way of saying that Peter and Valentine are very interesting characters by themselves (and each of them becomes more important in other books that Card wrote); but they’re here mainly just to give Ender something to react to and be compared to.

That’s a very nice sentiment, but since he doesn’t have to worry about pissing off his beloved sister, Ender loses at least one reason to act like a nice guy.

That’s all a long way of saying that Peter and Valentine are very interesting characters by themselves (and each of them becomes more important in other books that Card wrote); but they’re here mainly just to give Ender something to react to and be compared to. This book is basically The Ender Show, and the rest of his family is like the band that always plays, but that isn’t very interesting otherwise. So Peter is a model for what Ender shouldn’t be because Peter lacks Ender’s great ability to care about the feelings of others. That might make Peter a fine soldier, but not a great leader. And Val is, in some ways, a model for what Ender can’t afford to be – she’s the incredibly caring and loving one. She might make a fine leader, but she wouldn’t be a leader in a war.

Content: But then Val spends the middle part of this novel worrying that she’s a lot like Peter after all. So couldn’t we say that Peter and Val work so well together because they’re actually kind of the same too? They’re definitely both genius manipulators. At the very least, we should recognize that Peter ends up doing something that seems very out of character for a jackal: he ends up saving millions of lives by limiting the League war (the war between humans after the buggers are eliminated). Although there are reasons why Peter might want to do that (Peter loves power), it’s much nicer than, you know, threatening to kill your siblings (15.86). So has Peter changed? Were we wrong about him at the start of the novel? ( And notice how Card keeps this uncertainty by never letting us hear what Peter thinks.) Meanwhile, Val uses her manipulative skills to make sure Ender can never go home to Earth.

As she explains it (15.100), she’s still protecting Ender from Peter, but she’s doing so in a very manipulative way, swaying people the way she used to as Demosthenes. Previous Next

Why It Matters Today
Sometimes, a Song Says it Better: Success Story, by The Who
Content: progressive, proportional, and regressive . Progressive taxes impose higher rates of tax on people with higher incomes—the more you make, the higher rate of tax you pay. Based on the “ability to pay principle,” progressive taxes include the federal income tax and most state income taxes. Proportional taxes impose the same rate of tax, regardless of income. A person making $10,000 and a person making $10 million pay the same rate of tax. The wealthier person writes a bigger check since x% of 100,000 is more than x% of 10,000. But both taxpayers pay the same percentage of their income. Some tax reformers have proposed adopting this system as a "flat tax" to replace the progressive federal income tax. Finally, regressive taxes impose higher rates on people with lower incomes. The poorer you are, the higher percentage of your income you pay in taxes.

Market based criteria
The first thing we want to look at is market based criteria. These are criteria that are usually external facing like market size, target customer, whether you're dealing with a trending product , and so on. 1. What is the potential market size or demand? Gauging market size and demand can be difficult but you’re going to want to have some sense of the potential market size and demand before investing any significant amount of time, money and energy in your venture.
