Content: COVID-19 and Crime” report, released on January 31. The study was conducted by noted criminologist and Professor Emeritus Richard Rosenfeld and Ernesto Lopez of the University of Missouri – St. Louis and CCJ Senior Fellow and Commission Director Thomas Abt. “The fabric of American society has been tested in unprecedented ways in the past year – by the pandemic, the struggle against racial injustice, and economic decline,” Rosenfeld said in a press release. “ The combination of these stressors and a lack of effective outreach to at-risk individuals likely contributed to the elevated homicide rates we’ve seen in 2020.” For his part, Abt said: “ The response to rising rates of homicide must not wait. A large body of rigorous evidence demonstrates that violent crime can be addressed using strategies that are available now and do not require big budgets or new legislation to be implemented. Even with the pandemic, the time to act is now.” Although the magnitude of this increase is “deeply troubling”, the report said the absolute rates of homicide remain “well below” historical highs. “In 2020, the homicide rate was 11.4 deaths per 100,000 residents in sample cities;

While aggravated assault and gun assault rates in 2020 were 6% and 8% higher, respectively than in 2019, robbery rates declined by 9% due to lockdowns and restrictions. However, those restrictions significantly increased the domestic violence during the first months of the pandemic. The US is the worst-hit country by the pandemic with more than 26.6 million cases and nearly 456,000 fatalities, according to a running tally of the Johns Hopkins University. Share this:

The Turning Point
The D-Day invasion is a turning point in history because it changed the course of the second world war. Before the invasion Germany had control of most of Europe and that was not about to change. Operation Overlord was the Allies was the final attempt at changing the coarse of the war and thats why the invasion is sometimes called "The Last Great Invasion". The Germans had the momentum in the course of the war but the invasion changed that. How is it made known that this was a turning point? For one the primary objective of the invasion was achieved because we drove back the German Blitzkrieg, we liberated Europe, and we won the war. Second of all we executed a successful invasion, we landed in Normandy, got through the German resistance. and the Germans had retreated, moving the front line closer to Normandy. The Germans surrendered on May 7, 1945, which was the major outcome of the invasion.

The main reason that D-Day was a turning point in history because it helped win the second world war for the Allies and it is found evident from the documents and photos that are provided on this page. The idea to ponder about is if the invasion had not taken place and the Germans won the war, we could be speaking German right now.

As the United States’ post-pandemic reopening plans increasingly look like a bad on-again-off-again relationship in many states, many workers have been concerned about losing their unemployment benefits. Advertisement
In March, the CARES Act approved a federal extension to the unemployment benefits distributed by state systems, giving people filing for unemployment benefits access to an additional $600 per week. But that additional payment is set to expire on July 31. If you’re receiving unemployment benefits and aren’t too optimistic about starting work again by the end of the month, you might be worrying about how you’ll pay your bills on August 1 and beyond. How Unemployment Benefits Are Changing With the Senate Coronavirus Relief Bill
If you’re out of work due to the coronavirus, the relief bill passed in the Senate last night (and…

But a proposal in the Senate may eventually lead to an extension of that $600 per week benefit. The bill, called The American Workforce Rescue Act, would continue to provide additional benefits until a state’s unemployment rate dips to below 6%. G/O Media may get a commission

Once a state’s unemployment rate drops below 11% (based on a three-month average), the $600 benefit starts to phase out, with the weekly payment dropping by $100 for every percentage point of decline in the unemployment rate until it drops below 6%, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer explained in a blog post about the proposal. For example, if a state’s unemployment rate is between 9% and 10%, the weekly benefit would be $400.

Content: Youth behavior is often unstable, sometimes even changing from week to week. A child may have one group of friends this week, and a new group the next. Considering gangs, a youth who decides to join a gang today may not be a member next month. Research suggests that juvenile gangs have high rates of turnover, as members are typically only part of the gang for about one year. 14, 17 This demonstrates the need to clarify gang membership. It is difficult to measure and understand gangs when they are constantly changing composition. With new members come new ideas, new goals, and new ways of doing things. This belief about the dynamic nature of youth gangs is known as far back as the 1950s. Yablonsky 37 suggested that gangs are more like “near-groups” characterized by shifting membership, loosely defined roles, and limited cohesion. This could be why fitting a definition of gangs and determining gang membership is so difficult.

Content: Julius Caesar, on the opposite end of this supposedly revolutionary period, proves Flower and Osgood right along with Gruen. Julius Caesar
Before Caesar though, there was another important example of class division: the civil war between Marius, backed by the Populares, and Sulla, backed by the Optimates. This period was still consistent with the division seen throughout Roman history; however, it is also a smaller example of the adaptation and transformation that lead to the civil war between Caesar and Pompey. Notably, it is in this period that the Roman army became a professional force, an adaptation to fit the needs of an expanding empire with more enemies, and it is in this period that the armies became loyal to generals over the state, a consequence of Roman expansion and transformation into a world state. These changes and their implications are what allow the Caesarian civil war to ultimately have the largest impact on Rome’s development into an Empire. Julius Caesar, like the Gracchi, came from a patrician family with his father’s lineage going back to the founders of Rome and his mother’s lineage going back to the kings of Rome. However, his family hadn’t been in positions of power for some time, so Caesar took it upon himself to restore power to his name. Again, like the Gracchi, Caesar’s motivations weren’t revolutionary, just driven by Mos Maiorum and Dignitas, and he also looked to the plebians to gain that prestige.

Pompey rose to power without going through the Cursus Honorum, partially because of the support of the people, but also because of how Marius’ military reforms gave him a loyal private army; the power balance between classes had been broken by the interjection of this new way to gain power. As Flower believes, “ There was…no single ancient Republic that became fossilized and outlived its usefulness or its historical mission. Rather a series of republics, some more stable and successful than others, reflected the intense political culture after the end of the monarchy ” (Flower, Roman Republics, 22).

There was the pre-Punic War republic of the Consuls, the post-Punic War republic of the Senate, and, in this period, the republic of oligarchies; While they still ended up adhering to the consistent class divide, the way Pompey and Caesar came into power was the result of adaptation. Caesar also was a result of and a contributor to the Roman world state. Osgood argues that “ We need to recognize that it was during the long “fall of the Roman Republic” that a more ambitious provincial administration was being developed, along with a more coherent vision of empire that promised lasting peace in exchange for loyalty to Rome and the payment of taxes ” (Josiah Osgood, Rome and the Making of the World State:150BCE-20 CE, 3), and Caesar won his prestige and his army because of his provincial administration of Gaul and then proceeded to bring Gaul, Egypt, Spain, and parts of Asia and Africa deeper into Roman control. Caesar wasn’t revolutionary because he didn’t conquer these nations, but he did expand the imperialistic policy that was already ongoing;

The early statehood period Tremendous growth occurred in the Washington Territory during the 1880s. The signal event was the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad to the Puget Sound area in 1883; two other transcontinental lines would follow in later years. Much of the labor for those ventures was supplied by imported labor, particularly Chinese. Relations between the races were often troubled and race riots occurred in Seattle, Tacoma and smaller communities. Washington entered the Union as the 42nd state on November 11, 1889. Elisha P. Ferry, a former territorial official, became the first state governor. That year witnessed major fires in Seattle and Spokane, both of which rebuilt their cores with brick and stone structures. Seattle in particular profited greatly by the discovery of gold in the Klondike in 1897.

The growing community on Puget Sound became the chief point of departure and the major supplier of those headed for the gold fields. Development also was occurring across the Cascades where early irrigation projects enabled orchard and wheat ventures to replace cattle and sheep in some areas. At the turn of the century, the western portion of the state was booming from the development of trade, shipbuilding and lumber. This prosperity was celebrated in 1909 in Seattle in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, an early world’s fair. Farmers in the east, however, were plagued by low prices and suffered under the thumbs of what they regarded as predatory railroads.

Washington workers turned increasingly to union representation in the closing decades of the 19th century, which established the base for later charges of labor radicalism. In 1909, a major confrontation occurred in Spokane where the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or more popularly, the Wobblies) staged speeches to protest unfair actions by employment agents. The city responded by arresting the speakers and protestors, but the IWW drew national attention by shipping in replacement demonstrators by rail.

Western Settlement
Content: The Far West had been Spanish territory, but in 1821 Mexico won her independence and opened its lands to all traders. Hundreds of Americans poured into the areas of Texas, New Mexico and California, setting the stage for commerce and conflict. The attraction of the Far West was more than farmland; the lure of timber, gold, silver and grazing lands motivated many to endure the hardships of the region. One of the most notable features of the westerners was their seeming rootlessness. They would purchase a plot of land, work it for a few years, then often sell it at a profit and move farther west.

Revolution of 1800
Some observers have regarded Jefferson 's election in 1800 as revolutionary. This may be true in a restrained sense of the word, since the change from Federalist leadership to Republican was entirely legal and bloodless. Nevertheless, the changes were profound. The Federalists lost control of both the presidency and the Congress. By 1800, the American people were ready for a change. Under Washington and Adams, the Federalists had established a strong government. They sometimes failed, however, to honor the principle that the American government must be responsive to the will of the people. They had followed policies that alienated large groups. For example, in 1798 they enacted a tax on houses, land and slaves, affecting every property owner in the country. Jefferson had steadily gathered behind him a great mass of small farmers, shopkeepers and other workers;

Jefferson enjoyed extraordinary favor because of his appeal to American idealism. In his inaugural address, the first such speech in the new capital of Washington, D.C., he promised "a wise and frugal government" to preserve order among the inhabitants, but would "leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry, and improvement." Jefferson's mere presence in The White House encouraged democratic behavior. White House guests were encouraged to shake hands with the president, rather than bowing as had been the Federalist practice.

How is a President removed from office?
Content: Once power and responsibility is delegated to the President, it is not easily taken back. The modern presidency is the strongest in United States history. When considering presidential power, here are a few other things to consider
Other Presidential Powers
Executive
Recommend department budgets (delegated)
Public Opinion
Represent the will of the public
Shape national agenda
Political Party
Implement party priorities
Shape the agenda of the party
Symbolic party head
Who is eligible to become President? ( Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution)
‘Natural born citizen’ or citizen of the United States ( yes, this includes Ted Cruz)
At least 35 years old
Resided in the U.S. for at least 14 years
President can serve two terms (22 nd Amendment)
How is a President removed from office? Impeachment for conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors (Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution)
In case of death, resignation, or temporary disability, the vice president becomes president (25 th Amendment)
Certainly, the office of the presidency is an influential one, but it is not unlimited – most presidential powers are checked by other branches of government. The President may have the appointment authority, but bitter confirmation battles over Merrick Garland and Loretta Lynch remind us that this authority is not absolute. In my opinion, the areas that present the greatest potential for presidential abuse reside in the executive order, privilege, and agreement powers. With these implied powers, presidents can act unilaterally without (initially) needing congressional approval in broad executive, legislative, and diplomatic capacities. I believe that this is where the character of a presidential candidate enters into the decision calculus. Before you cast your vote for the next President of the United States, I think it is important to ask:

Alaska's Changing Environment 2019
Documenting Alaska's physical and biological changes through observations
Alaska has recently experienced profound environmental change related to extreme weather events and deviations from the historical climate. Sustained warmth, sea ice loss, coastal flooding, river flooding, and major ecosystem changes have impacted the daily lives of Alaskans around the state. Temperatures have been consistently warmer than at any time in the past century. This warming varies greatly across the state, with northern and western regions warming at twice the rate of southeastern Alaska. The growing season has increased substantially in most areas, and the snow cover season has shortened. Precipitation overall has increased, and like temperature, the changes vary regionally. The ocean around Alaska is now regularly warmer than at any time in the past 150 years, affecting everything from algae to fisheries and human health. Coastal flooding during the autumn storm season has occurred on the Bering Sea coast throughout history, but recent winters have brought record low ice, which in the past has served as a buffer to big Bering Sea storms. This has resulted in out-of-season flooding occurring in places expecting stable sea ice. We have compiled observations through August 2019 about the major changes currently affecting Alaska's physical and biological systems.

Content: ice break-up of Alaska’s big rivers is a sure sign of spring; wildfires are a summer issue, and the season is lengthening; costly coastal flooding along the Bering and Chukchi Seas has historically been an autumn concern. While powerful storms impacting maritime operations near the Aleutians and Gulf of Alaska can occur any time of year, the strongest storms nearly always happen in the fall and winter months. Many of these seasonal events have experienced profound changes in recent years. Big fire seasons more frequent
Warmer springs and earlier snow melt had lengthened the wildfire season to the point in 2006 when Alaska’s interagency fire management organization changed the “start date” for wildfire response from May 1 to April 1. While the year-to-year variability of acreage burned has changed little, the frequency of large wildfire seasons has increased dramatically. Wildfire seasons with more than one million acres (red bars in graph) burned have increased by 50% since 1990, compared to the 1950–1989 period. Dramatically more smoky days
As the frequency of big (1+ million acres) wildfire seasons has increased, so has the frequency of smoky days, posing a significant health hazard. Prior to 2004, Fairbanks had only one summer (1957) in the previous half century when there were more than three weeks of significant smoke.

Since 2004, it has occurred five times, including twice since 2014. Storminess not increasing
Storminess, related to the frequency, duration, and intensity of wind, is one of the most important aspects of day-to-day weather for Alaskans. In and around Alaska there has been a slight overall decline in autumn (September–November) storminess over the past 40 years. Winter (December–February) storminess has shown no clear trend since 1990. There has also been no detectable trend in the number of moderate and strong storms during the past 70 years over the Bering and Chukchi Seas, where sea ice has retreated.

However, even without an increase in storms, coastal flooding and erosion in these waters are increasing as the sea ice-free open water season lengthens. River break-up happening earlier
Alaskans have closely watched spring river ice break-up for millennia, and for generations have monitored the timing of the break-up of the Tanana River at Nenana. Break-up has trended earlier, especially in recent years. Four of the past six years have seen break-up earlier than all but one year prior to 1990. The earliest break-up in the history of the Nenana Ice Classic, by six days, was in 2019.

Content: Fall and winter warmer than average
2014–2018 average temperatures in most regions and seasons have been dramatically warmer than the average for 1981–2010. The exception is summer, when the past five years have been close to normal over much of the state. Greatest warming in west and north
Temperatures are rising all across the state, but not uniformly. The changes are largest over northern and western Alaska, where snow and especially sea ice losses are impacting the regional climate. Temperatures have risen least dramatically in southeast Alaska and the Aleutians, where seasonal snowpack changes and sea ice are more indirect factors. Utqiaġvik high temperatures
The abrupt change in air temperatures due to the loss of sea ice is nowhere more obvious than in Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow) during the month of October. Direct heating from the sun is weak during October, so the autumn air temperatures are controlled by the amount of open water offshore of Utqiaġvik. Prior to 2002, many Octobers had extensive ice through the entire month or at least by late October, allowing for much lower temperatures. In recent years, open water remained late into fall, and air temperatures were consistently warmer relative to the past. Precipitation

Content: Freezing rain
Freezing rain can pose significant threats to safety and wildlife. During the last decade, the number of winters with freezing rain in Fairbanks more than doubled what was typical for the 1930–2000 period. School day cancellations associated with freezing rain have also increased in recent years. In winters with heavy ice accumulation on vegetation, caribou die-offs have occurred because animals are unable to access their food. Annual precipitation increasing
Over the past half century, annual precipitation has increased in all regions of the state. The best available estimates over the century time-scale suggest Alaska as a whole was relatively wet early in the 20th century, then drier from the 1940s–1990s, and wetter again recently. A rainforest ... drought? While precipitation over long time-scales is increasing, year-to-year variability remains important. Southeast Alaska is one of the wettest areas in the world. Below is the Standardized Precipitation Index for the region.

All Too Easy: Spreading Information Through Social Media
Content: News sources are known for tracking down sources to verify the authenticity of the information. Un-truthful information can be spread purposely or accidental. Un-truthful information that is spread purposely can be done as a satire or to instigate an emotional response. Un-truthful information is also spread un-purposely by the thousands of users of social media. Social media users can share information or spread the information that shows up on their news feed without checking to ensure the information is accurate and truthful. Recent studies have shown that an estimated 59 percent of social media users will share information without actually reading an article, but will share information based on the title alone. An opinion can be disguised dangerously or spread as truthful when it is solely the opinion of the writer or speaker. Social media has the power to affect a social change on society. Social media has allowed thousands of people, if not millions, to have a voice and spread the information that the user feels is relevant and important. Unfortunately, a side effect of giving so many people a voice is the spread of false information disguised as truth.

A Reflection on the History of Sexual Assault Laws in the United States
APRIL 15, 2018
A Reflection on the History of Sexual Assault Laws in the United States. by Kyla Bishop
The views expressed in this post are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect views of the Journal, the William H. Bowen School of Law, or UA Little Rock. April has been designated “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” in the United States since 2001. Sexual assault and harassment have consistently made the headlines in recent months, from President Trump’s “ grab them by the pu**y ” comment to the avalanche of assault accusations against Harvey Weinstein. At the forefront has been the #MeToo movement, with woman after woman, including famous and respected actresses, sharing their stories of sexual assault. What was once swept under the rug is now the hammer being used to shatter the stigma of sexual assault. Crumbling too is the sense of security once felt by sexual predators. As the #MeToo movement has gained popularity, companies and employers have rushed to disassociate themselves with men accused of sexual misconduct. In November 2017, NBC fired its “crown jewel” Matt Lauer after a two-month investigation into several claims of sexual harassment by female staffers. So too was Kevin Spacey fired from Netflix’s hit original series “House of Cards” after actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey made unwanted sexual advances towards him when he was only 14.

Companies and employers taking the moral high ground has been a beacon of hope for many, but this was not always the case. Even our laws, which regard rape as a one of the most violent crimes a person can commit, did not always punish the perpetrators accordingly. The Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest sets of written laws, considered the rape of a virgin as property damage against her father. For a long time, the rape of a woman was considered a property crime against the victim’s husband or father. The word itself derives from the Latin word rapere, or “seize”.

Content: In the U.S., drone operations are often not generally allowed within five miles of an airport, and this can be the source of a lot frustration for some drone pilots. Image Source
For instance, if you’re flying in your own backyard as a hobbyist and you only plan to go ten feet in the air, why do you need to notify Air Traffic Control? Or if you’re flying a real estate mission four miles away from an airport, and don’t plan to fly much higher than the house you’re photographing, why do you need to go through the potentially lengthy process of securing airspace authorization? If you’re a hobbyist, this scenario certainly does seem frustrating, but we’d recommend doing everything you can to be compliant. Right now there is an ongoing debate on whether hobbyists should be more strongly regulated, and given the relative lenience of existing regulations it seems like a good idea to comply, even if you’re just flying at your house. And for commercial drone pilots, the FAA is working to speed up the process for airspace authorizations by rolling out instant airspace authorizations via LAANC throughout the U.S., so hopefully things should be much quicker within the next year. So How Can Drone Pilots Fly Legally within Five Miles of an airport? The first thing to clarify is that there are two different classes of rules in place for flying drones. One set of rules applies to hobbyist drone pilots, and another set of rules—the FAA’s Part 107 rules —applies to commercial drone pilots. Image Source
A hobbyist is someone who’s flying a drone just for fun, and a commercial drone pilot is someone flying for work or business purposes.

Overcoming Racial Stereotypes
What Are Racial Stereotypes? Racial stereotypes are automatic and exaggerated mental pictures that we hold about all members of a particular racial group. When we stereotype people based on race, we don’t take into account individual differences. Because our racial stereotypes are so rigid, we tend to ignore or discard any information that is not consistent with the stereotype that we have developed about the racial group. How Do We Develop Racial Stereotypes? We develop our racial stereotypes in a variety of ways. On a very simple level, it’s human nature to categorize people. It’s our way of making a complex world simpler. From an early age, we learn to place people and objects into categories. However, when we’re very young, we tend to put less of an emphasis on attributing values to these categories.

From an early age, we learn to place people and objects into categories. However, when we’re very young, we tend to put less of an emphasis on attributing values to these categories. As we grow older and are influenced by parents, peers, and the media, our tendency to label different racial groups as superior/good or inferior/bad increases significantly. Additionally, the less contact we have with a particular racial group, the more likely we are to have negative feelings about the group. Any negative experiences that we have with a member of a particular group will strengthen our racial stereotypes and create fears about particular races. Based on our fears, we develop an us-versus-them mentality that tends to be self-protective in nature. As a result, we miss opportunities to learn and thrive from our differences.

When our perceptions of different races are distorted and stereotypical, it’s demeaning, devaluing, limiting, and hurtful to others. In some cases, people who are repeatedly labeled in negative ways will begin to develop feelings of inferiority. Sometimes, these feelings of inferiority can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies that perpetuate the stereotype. Racial stereotypes can also foster feelings of hate and aggression that might lead to a false sense of entitlement and superiority.

Next, we should work to become more aware of our inner thoughts and feelings and how they affect our beliefs and actions.

How Do We Overcome Our Racial Stereotypes?
Content: For those individuals who have power, this can lead to their engaging in discriminatory and racist practices. How Do We Overcome Our Racial Stereotypes? Because of their harmful effects, we should make a real commitment to try to overcome our racial stereotypes. This can be achieved by first acknowledging that we’re human and that we do harbor racial stereotypes. Next, we should work to become more aware of our inner thoughts and feelings and how they affect our beliefs and actions. When we have a stereotypical thought about a racial group, we should follow it up with an alternative thought based on factual information that discounts the stereotype. We can obtain this factual information by leaving our comfort zones and exposing ourselves to people of different races. We should be willing to engage in honest dialogue with others about race that at times might be difficult, risky, and uncomfortable. We should also seek out media portrayals of different races that are realistic and positive. Attending churches, plays, concerts, and movies that celebrate diversity will also broaden our worldview.

As we gain more awareness and knowledge about racial groups, not only will our racial stereotypes lessen, but we will also become better equipped to educate and challenge others about their racial stereotypes. As we change ourselves, we can elicit changes in others through our examples and the quality of our conversations. In doing this, we work to create a society in which all races are valued, appreciated, and embraced.

Title:
Headings:
Content: In order to create a focused vision, students will write a mission statement for their new district that communicates the purpose for the organization. Over the course of the unit, students will answer the questions: What has education been like in the past? What is education like now? What should education look like in the future? Students will research various organizational structures of education (home, private, charter, public, parochial, online, etc.), and explore the ideas of experts like Sir Ken Robinson, Daniel Pink, and Steve Jobs to gain an expanded perspective. Ultimately, students will write a reflective essay that answers the question: Why teach? All major works from this unit will be placed in a portfolio that will be compiled over the course of the school year and be submitted as part of the capstone project in unit six.

Content: First, the teacher needs to be able to connect to students on a personal level. They need to know about current events, things that are happening in the students’ lives. They need to understand and live in the neighborhood. They can’t be “outsiders” rejected by the students. I’d connect this kind of thinking to former gang members who volunteer and work with teens to stay in school and study hard. The at-risk students are able to connect to former gang members on a personal level, and see them as mentors. Even just having one mentor who believes in your potential can be life changing. Secondly, I’d like to ask the teacher to be professional and negotiable. Too many times have I heard students complain about a teacher being unfair or biased. Teachers often push these comments aside or ignore them, saying that “its just how kids/students act.”

What interests you? What is a fair amount of homework? My goals are X, Y, and Z. What are your goals? How can we work together to satisfy all or most of them?”

Topics
Content: Of course you need to respect your friends’ privacy and personal time/space, but good friends are able to communicate with each other. You should not find lies, jealousy, or disdain in a healthy friendship. And lastly, healthy friendships are able to overcome barriers and adapt to new situations. If a friend moves away or if a fight occurs between the two of you and you no longer consider that person a friend, it’s likely the friendship wasn’t very healthy to begin with. This does not mean someone has to be your best friend forever, but it does mean healthy friendships can change throughout time, and that you will still be able to consider them a friend. I hope this helps! Simran
When talking about about healthy relationships, people often focus on romantic and familial bonds, but having healthy friendships is incredibly crucial as well! If you feel like you can trust your friends, enjoy spending time with them, and that they are positive influences in your life, you’re definitely on track! Good friendships are based on mutual respect, honesty, and support (helping each other with problems, and celebrating each other’s success). Friends should help you grow into an even better person, and love and care for you.

Good friendships are based on mutual respect, honesty, and support (helping each other with problems, and celebrating each other’s success).

What do you do if one of your friends does something that jeopardizes the friendship and makes you think it might be unhealthy? The important factors are how frequently these kind of warning signs occur, and how the friend reacts. If unhealthy actions (like sharing confidential information, saying negative things about you, getting too possessive, not being supportive of non-harmful interests you have, pressuring you to change, and many other forms of physical,mental, and emotional violence) are a recurring pattern, you would be better off distancing yourself from this person. If the the friend seems genuinely regretful and is actively trying to change their behavior, you may want to give them another chance, but you’re not obligated to do so.

Content: Considerate and Forgiving Being considerate is a great characteristic to embody. When it is present in a friendship, both people benefit! You two value each other’s time and opinions. When you throw in forgiveness, this shows that you two are willing to drop grudges and keep each other in your lives. You two understand each other. Being able to understand your friend is so rewarding. You feel like you are able to connect with someone at a deeper level, one that is beyond surface level knowledge. Understanding each other requires both people to listen and reciprocate. It’s always a two-way street when it comes to friendships. Lastly, a healthy friendship should never feel forced.

Acclimatization (adjusting to the temperature)
If you spend most of your time this summer in the air-conditioned confines of your home, car, and workplace, when you go outdoors you may feel as if you have stepped into a blast furnace. Acclimatization is the process by which you become physically adjusted to the temperature of your environment. It plays an important role in how well you tolerate heat and cold. Outdoor acclimatization
People who spend a great deal of time outdoors become "outdoor acclimatized." These persons are affected less by heat or cold extremes because their bodies have adjusted to the outdoor environments. Acclimatization usually occurs over a period of about two weeks in healthy, normal persons. This process is faster in response to heat, but slower in the cold. Factors affecting climate acclimatization
Your physical condition, age, and other factors also affect how your body copes with heat and cold. Body fat
Lean people tolerate heat better than obese people. The more obese a person is, the less skin surface area the person has in relation to his or her weight.

Your physical condition, age, and other factors also affect how your body copes with heat and cold. Body fat
Lean people tolerate heat better than obese people. The more obese a person is, the less skin surface area the person has in relation to his or her weight. Greater surface area provides more exposed skin to perspire and cool the body through evaporation. But this same fat can be beneficial to a person who lives in cold climates because the fat insulates skin tissue. The Inuit, who live in cold regions, tend to have more body fat than people who live in warmer climates. Age
Elderly persons usually don't tolerate temperature extremes as well as do younger people. As a person ages, the body's response to temperature change–shivering in low temperatures and sweating in high temperatures–is delayed and reduced.

Elderly persons usually don't tolerate temperature extremes as well as do younger people. As a person ages, the body's response to temperature change–shivering in low temperatures and sweating in high temperatures–is delayed and reduced. Medications
Some medications may interfere with the body's ability to tolerate temperature extremes because they affect parts of the brain responsible for temperature regulation. For example, some asthma and hay fever medications can reduce your tolerance to heat or cold. Metabolic rate
A person's metabolic rate–the speed at which the body's cells turn food into energy–affects the person's ability to cope with heat and cold. A relatively high metabolic rate produces more heat than a relatively low metabolic rate. As a result someone with a high metabolic rate may feel warm in a room of 72 degrees where a person with a low rate may feel cool.

You may be better prepared to cope with the summer heat if the temperature of your indoor environment does not differ radically from the temperature outdoors. Setting the air conditioning temperature 10 degrees below the outdoor temperature is suggested. Interested in using our health content? Use of Health Topics

SLAVERY INFORMATION CREDIT GOES TO: http://historyonthenet.com/Slave_Trade/slaverymain.htm
Content: They began to ask for slaves, rather than African goods, in exchange for the guns and alcohol that the African chiefs wanted. The African chiefs agreed and so the Triangular Trade was developed. This was the name given to the trading route used by European merchants who exchanged goods with Africans for slaves, shipped the slaves to the Americas, sold them and brought goods from the Americas back to Europe. Merchants who traded in this way could get very rich indeed as American goods fetched a high price in Europe. It was called the triangular trade because of the triangular shape that the three legs of the journey made. The first leg was the journey from Europe to Africa where goods were exchanged for slaves. The second, or middle, leg of the journey was the transportation of slaves to the Americas. It was nicknamed the 'middle passage.' The third and final leg of the journey, was the transport of goods from the Americas back to Europe. Slavery was not new to Africa.

Don't boil it and only as warm as ur bath would b don't scald yourself. Once you've got rid of all the flaky bits you can use an orange stick on your cuticles and rub hand and nail cream or cocoa butter on your hands and rub into your nails before goin to bed. When u finally get smooth nails back they'll b soft n brittle so try a nail strengthener like Mavala or Sally Hansen

use straight acetone, this will breakdown the integrity of the glue and peel off. It will take a while, u have to soak your fingers in it or u can take a cotton ball, saturate it with the acetone and set it on the nail with the excess glue. What do you think of the answers?

only 2 correct answers. DO NOT use PVA, if will seal the wall and ruin any future decoration and prevent the plaster breathing. coat 1 - 50% water into any matt emulsion (not bathroom or kitchen paint though)
coat 2 - 10-25% water into any emulsion
coat 3 + neat, until you are happy, normally 2 coats. If you put paint on neat, then the plaster sucks the water out of it and you get painting cracking, so thinning it lets it soak or 'key' into the plaster.

Hi, Use a stabilizing solution or PVA .It works, diluted emulsion is some times very patchy. Be Safe, Diolch . Paint Wizard

The last answer is correct, all you need is PVA mixed with water (1 part PVA - 5 part Water). This puts a film on the walls that is impervious to your next coats of paint. Using this process you will cover your walls using less paint than expected.

To be safe, buy Vinyl Matt in Dulux Trade or Leyland. Thin down first coat by 25% when using dulux or thin down first coat by 10% when using leyland. The choice is yours. First coat is not worth skimping on! Make it a decent paint.

there are 3 stages of hair growth - angen, catagen and telegen. the anagen is the actual growing stage of the hair and depending on how long tht stage last is how long ur hair will grow. on average hair grows at 1/2 an inch per month. having a good diet can help but there is no miracle cure for making hair grow. if u do want long hair tho, u can cheat and get hair extensions, and if u do, go for weave in 1s as glue/bond 1s cause damage and with sewn in 1s ur hair is braided and strips of hair sewn in, it means ur hair can have a "break" and can grow. ...Show more

On the average hair grows 1/2" per month, it varies by person but not by much. You really can't make it grow faster. The only possibility for that would be "hair, skin, & nail" vitamins.

Its probably been painted with a vinyl type emulsion over the new plaster, this doesnt adhere very well to new plaster and also doesn't allow the wall to ''breathe''. New plaster should be initially coated with a covermatt type of paint. The only thing you can do now is to keep shelling off the loose areas, sand back to a sound surface, either prime bare patches with a plaster primer or a Bulls eye primer and recoat, unfortunately you will then have different levels where the paint film is missing, these can be flushed up with a fine surface filler or Polycell smooth or similar before sanding and repainting. If surface ios still very bad the next thing would be to apply one thin coat of pva sealer/adhesive and hang wallpaper or crossline walls with a quality lining paper prior to painting

One of the earliest written records of a urine-based pregnancy test can be found in an ancient Egyptian document. A papyrus described a test in which a woman who might be pregnant could urinate on wheat and barley seeds over the course of several days: Testing of this theory in 1963 found that 70 percent of the time, the urine of pregnant women did promote growth, while the urine of non-pregnant women and men did not. Middle Ages through the Seventeenth Century
Using visual aspects of urine to detect pregnancy became a popular method.

They did it the old-fashioned way--the first clue was a missed period. Then there was morning sickness, fatigue, and sometimes the 'mask of pregnancy'--a darkening of the face around the eyes caused by the hormonal changes. Oh, just for color in what you're writing, you might refer to the menstrual cycle as 'the courses' or 'monthly courses.' In the medieval period, when bloodletting was considered a panacea for all ills, it was often referred to as 'the female benefit' because its regular occurrence meant that women didn't need to submit to the debilitating--and sometimes fatal--practice of being bled as readily as men had to. ...Show more

The old fashioned way - they missed a period, felt sick etc. They just had to wait longer for confirmation but I am pretty sure they know most of the time. I think they also lived in a society where they were used to waiting for things because very little was instant in those days.

Carbon dioxide is needed in the dark reaction as a raw material used in the synthesis of glucose. As carbon dioxide concentration increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases. At high concentrations, the rate of photosynthesis begins to level out due to factors not related to carbon dioxide concentration. One reason might be that some of the enzymes of photosynthesis are working at their maximum rate. In general, carbon dioxide is found in low concentration in the atmosphere, and so atmospheric carbon dioxide levels may be a major limiting factor on photosynthesis when at low levels. ...Show more

Learn How - The UMAi Dry Steak Process
UMAi Dry® Aging Steak Process Illustration: UMAi Dry® system is based on a unique breatheable membrane technology that provides a perfect safe environment for each piece of meat and allows it to develop that special dry aged taste and texture that people crave. Always dry age whole subprimal cuts (not individual steaks)
Good cuts for dry aging are: Ribeye, Entrecote in Europe (Scotch filet in Australia),
NY Strip (Striploin)
Sirloin
You can dry age Tenderloin (filet mignon) but only for short period of time 4-5 days as not to lose expensive tender meat to trim
Dry aging process has two parts: First the moisture evaporates from the meat, thereby concentrating and intensifying the beef flavor
Second the natural enzymes in the meat break down the connective tissue thereby tenderizing the meat and imparting a distinct dry aged flavor
Moisture evaporation stage lasts for about 7-10 days
Tenderization and flavor development stage lasts as long as the meat is being dry aged. We have customers who dry age for up to 100 days in UMAi Dry®

Health Effects of Arsenic
Content: Phosphorus is a very important element in biological tissues. Phosphate is used to build DNA, the molecule that acts as the genetic blueprint for the cell, RNA which is needed to translate the genetic code into functional proteins and it is also used as the energy currency of the cell. That means that phosphate is crucial for life. Since the arsenate looks a lot like the phosphate molecule used in DNA and RNA synthesis, it can sometimes trick the transport proteins for phosphate into importing arsenate from outside the cell. Once inside, arsenate may interfere with normal processing of phosphate or act in other ways to prevent normal cell functions. As (III) or arsenious acid works in a different way. Since it is missing the extra oxygen, it doesn’t look much like phosphate to the cell, but because it is uncharged, it can pass through the lipid membrane to the inside of the cell, or hitch a ride in transport proteins that move small, uncharged molecules around. Once inside, it will combine with sulfur groups on proteins. Sulfur groups are often used to form cross-linkages between protein sections to hold them in a specific 3-D arrangement (proteins are made of long strings of amino acids, but they have to be folded in a specific way to be functional). Preventing these linkages can cause a wide variety of problems in the cell since it can affect many different kinds of proteins.

Health Effects of Arsenic
Content: This can occur in a variety of different organs. Cancer is usually only observed after > 10 years’ chronic exposure to arsenic, and the forms of cancer that have correlated to high arsenic exposure are: Skin (tends to come earliest)
Skin cancer
lung
bladder
kidney
liver
Circulatory problems (trouble with blood vessels and circulation). High blood pressure
Circulatory system failure, gangrene, loss of limbs (blackfoot disease)
Blackfoot Disease
Reproductive effects
Low birth weight
Diabetes (may be related more generally to disruption of one or more of the hormone systems)
Nervous system problems
The trouble is that the effects are not always the same for different populations of people. Different populations may be exposed to different forms of arsenic, and they may have different sensitivities and exposures (your daily dose of arsenic will depend on the arsenic concentration in your food and water, and how much you eat and drink). Another important factor in any health effect is nutritional status. If you eat a nutritious diet, you may be more resistant to negative health effects than if you were already weakened by poor nutrition. All the more reason to eat your veggies! Generally speaking, the main routes of contamination for people who are not exposed to arsenic in their work (occupational exposure) are drinking water first, followed by food. Absorption through the skin seems to be minimal, so arsenic exposure through hand washing, laundry, bathing, etc.

What is Arsenic?
Content: Semiconductors are used a lot in the electronics industry. Biological molecules are made up mostly of non-metals such as carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and phosphorus (P), although metals are needed in much lower amounts. We are mainly interested in arsenic because of its toxicity. Toxic chemicals prevent or affect processes that are required for life. They somehow stop or change a function that is required for the animal, person or plant to live. Arsenic is a very potent toxin. Potent means that it has a strong effect even in very low amounts – so a tiny bit of arsenic can do a lot of damage. About 100 mg of As is enough to kill a grown person – that’s about 1/20th of a teaspoon! Arsenic is a naturally occurring compound. It is found in the Earth’s crust (the solid outer layer that we live on) at a concentration of around 2-5 parts per million.

Managers are susceptible to more distractions during the training
Consistent information and experience
Easy to administer
Leadership Training Timing
Based on our experience, the best time to enroll managers in training is right when they’ve been promoted, or “just in time.” Relevant leadership training is the antidote to sink-or-swim, a practice that hurts confidence, morale, and your company’s net promoter score. Waiting for managers to ask for help is risky. You’ll lose productivity, and some of your managers with the potential to be great leaders might realize another company offers more support and professional development. When it comes to leadership training, strike while the iron is hot, when managers are eager to learn. Proactively equip them with the skills they need to confidently excel in their new role. Next Steps
Hopefully, you’re starting to get a vision for the type of leadership training topics your managers need, and the type of learning experiences that will support your goals.

Statistic #2: Even when black students do have access to honors or advanced placement courses, they are vastly underrepresented in these courses. Black and Latino students represent 38 percent of students in schools that offer AP courses, but only 29 percent of students enrolled in at least one AP course. Black and Latino students also have less access to gifted and talented education programs than white students.

Part 1
The Social Construction of Race
Skin Color Adaptation
Content: One way that race perpetuates itself in society is through stereotypes. A stereotype is an oversimplified set of beliefs about people from a certain group in society. There are numerous stereotypes for people of all racial and ethnic categories. While most of these stereotypes are negative, the stereotypes for some groups are much more damaging than others. For instance, whites have always been stereotyped as being racist, greedy, and bad dancers. Compare this to some of the more damaging stereotypes of African Americans which include uneducated, lazy, and unemployable. Clearly, these stereotypes are much more damaging. Some say that stereotypes are based on actual patterns of behaviors. Let’s say that some people do act out their stereotypes. Does this mean they are biologically programmed to behave this way?

Some say that stereotypes are based on actual patterns of behaviors. Let’s say that some people do act out their stereotypes. Does this mean they are biologically programmed to behave this way? According to The Thomas Theorem , “situations that are defined as real become real in their consequences .” What this means is that if society defines race as real, it will become real as people internalize these beliefs and act them out. What race and stereotypes do is create Self-Fulfilling Prophecies where individuals believe, either consciously or subconsciously, that they are real. WATCH>> Sterotypes: “ Average Asian” (MadTV)

Gregor is not described with much detail other than the fact that he is both tall and lanky. In The Code of Claw, however, Gregor's skin is described as being absolutely riddled with scars from all his time in the Underland. Luxa comments that Boots' skin "must require much light" and that she has never seen a human with brown eyes before. Later on, it is stated that both Lizzie and Boots have brown hair. Additionally, in Gregor the Overlander, two rats named Fangor and Shed comment that Gregor looks very similar to his father, saying that their "shade" matches. Based on these hints, it can be assumed that Gregor most likely possesses dark skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. Personality
Gregor is a well-behaved kid.

Content: He is extremely family-oriented, taking up much of the burden after his father went missing and going on Sandwich's quests in order to ensure their safety. He is quiet and not particularly outgoing at school, which leads to others believing he is stuck up. Despite being empathetic, however, Gregor is sometimes quick to anger, oftentimes butting heads with Luxa and Ripred. He can also be a bit of a hypocrite, though he is quick to recognize this and improve his behavior. Despite being a rager, Gregor detests fighting and tries to avoid it as much as possible. History

Months later, Gregor and Boots visit Central Park to go sledding, where the latter is suddenly kidnapped by a group of crawlers. Gregor immediately descends into the Underland, where he reunites with his friends and learns of The Prophecy of Bane, which warns of Boots' death and a giant white rat, the Bane, bringing the end of the Underland. Determined to protect his sister, Gregor and a group of questers set out on an adventure across the Waterway, in order to find and kill the Bane before the gnawers can kill Boots. After surviving an island of flesh-eating mites, a giant squid attack, and a whirlpool, the party arrives at the Tankard, the entrance to a large maze known as the Labyrinth, where the Bane is supposedly hiding. While at the Tankard, the party is attacked by a pack of serpents, leading to the loss of Luxa, Aurora, Boots, and Temp.

Content: Soon thereafter, Boots is returned by a group of crawlers. They then learn that Luxa, Aurora, Boots, and Temp survived the serpents and made it to the Labyrinth, before being attacked by the gnawers. After escaping to the Dead Lands with Boots, Temp then begged an unnamed moth to take her to the crawlers. The moth agreed, but when the crawlers went to look for Temp, he was nowhere to be found. So, with the hope of the others' potential survival, Gregor reluctantly returns to the Overland. Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods
After waiting months for word on Luxa and his friends, Gregor finally receives a call for help from Vikus, telling him that The Prophecy of Blood has come. After learning that Ares has the plague, Gregor becomes determined to travel back to the Underland. Gregor's mother, however, refuses to let him go until Ripred tells them that Gregor and Boots are only needed for a brief meeting. She finally relents, on the condition that she can attend the meeting with them. While there, however, an infected bat crashes in and ultimately infects Gregor's mother.
