Title: Headings: Suicide Contagion & Suicide Clusters Suicide Contagion & Suicide Clusters What is Suicidal Contagion and what are Suicide Clusters? Click here to leave your comment References Content: Social media will spread the news relentlessly and even more disconcerting than the sheer speed with which it is shared, is the fact that this news may be mostly unmediated and unfiltered. Are there ways that this news can be disseminated on social media more responsibly? The answers may have to come from the users themselves. Where mass clusters are a topic of debate, there is no mistaking the phenomenon of point clusters. Joiner, cited above, believes mass clusters to be equivocal but does not doubt the existence of point clusters. These clusters do exist in mainstream society. A recent number of suicides in the small city of Red Deer, Alberta, is showing potential characteristics of a point cluster. Six high school males had all killed themselves in the previous year. Whether these individuals knew each other and were influenced by one another’s actions is still unclear. A Facebook page was set up by three Red Deer girls to support those affected by the suicides;

Insufficient Reading Skills Irrelevant, Obsolete or Indifferent Reading Material or Style Lack of Concentration Insufficient or Wrong Schooling, Lack of Family Support Content: Why Do Some People Hate Books? – Spreeder Why Do Some People Hate Books? 12 Aug 2013 You might think of such people as lost and forgotten in a desolate area somewhere in the Antarctic, but no, they live among us. Many people hate books, and hate reading in general. Often, this is the result of insufficient exposure to quality reading material. However, there are many other reasons why people have a dislike for reading. Insufficient Reading Skills People with poor reading skills cannot absorb knowledge and new information at a satisfactory pace. When a person doesn’t have the right reading skills they don’t get to benefit from reading as much as someone who has good reading skills can. When people read at a very slow pace, this troubles and frustrates them. It makes them feel incompetent.

When people read at a very slow pace, this troubles and frustrates them. It makes them feel incompetent. For these people, reading just looks too time consuming and counterproductive to even bother with. Conversely, people with sufficient reading skills or even a speed reading ability are more likely to enjoy reading and devour reading material, simply because their reading skills make it easier for them to enjoy the process, which further strengthens their love of books. It’s no coincidence that people who’ve mastered speed reading are more likely to rekindle their love of books and reading. Irrelevant, Obsolete or Indifferent Reading Material or Style Exposing someone only to the wrong, age-inappropriate reading material can prove detrimental for their subsequent opinion of book reading. To help someone love reading it is necessary to provide the right stimuli from an early age, showing them that books are little worlds of new knowledge and wisdom.

Not mastering the art of reading at a young age might make it difficult for people to fully grasp how rewarding an experience reading is, something that persists as they get older. Lack of Concentration People who tend to get distracted often and easily will find it hard to really delve into a book and get into the lost in the images and ideas that reading can bring. Too much stress or anxiety in life can make reading a difficult and frustrating experience they justifiably want to avoid.

However, the slavery that developed in the Americas was based largely on race. Europeans viewed black people as naturally inferior. Because of this, slavery in the Americas was hereditary. The Atlantic World 567 African Cooperation and Resistance Many African rulers and merchants played a willing role in the Atlantic slave trade. Most European traders, rather than travel inland, waited in ports along the coasts of Africa. African merchants, with the help of local rulers, captured Africans to be enslaved. They then deliv- ered them to the Europeans in exchange for gold, guns, and other goods. As the slave trade grew, some African rulers voiced their opposition to the prac- tice. Nonetheless, the slave trade steadily grew.

Title: Confidence Intervals in Statistics - Simple Tutorial Headings: Simple Introduction to Confidence Intervals Simple Introduction to Confidence Intervals Confidence Intervals - Example Confidence Intervals - How Does it Work? Confidence Intervals - Illustration Confidence Intervals - Basic Properties Confidence Intervals or Statistical Significance? Formulas and Example Calculations Content: Confidence Intervals - Basic Properties Right, so a confidence interval is basically a likely range of values for a parameter such as a population correlation, mean or proportion. Therefore, wider confidence intervals indicate less precise estimates for such parameters. Three factors determine the width of a confidence interval. Everything else equal, lower confidence levels result in smaller intervals: 90% CI's are smaller than 95% CI's and these are smaller than 99% CI's. The tradeoff here is that smaller intervals are less likely to contain the parameter we're after: 90% versus 95% or 99%. More precision, less confidence and reversely. larger sample sizes result in smaller CI's. However, the width of a CI is linearly related to the square root of the sample size.

Content: All About That "Being Watched" Vibe Why You Get That Gut Instinct You’re Being Watched Thomas Ham | March 22, 2018 Do you ever get that feeling you’re being watched? Turns out it’s not because you have some kind of supernatural sixth sense. Our brain just has this mysterious ability to “sense” what’s going on around us without actually seeing it. Okay, so that kind of sounds like a supernatural sixth sense, but it’s not. Everyone gets this feeling, and there’s actually a psychological reason for it. To understand this better, let’s start by taking a look at the term blindsight. What Is Blindsight? Blindsight refers to people who are unable to see because of damage to the visual cortex, the part of the brain responsible for conscious vision. In other words, their eyes are perfectly healthy. The reason these people can’t see is because their visual cortex is unable to process the information they’re seeing.

Blindsight Patient TD: Recognizing We’re Being Watched TD (to preserve anonymity, the patient is only referred to by his initials), suffered from a stroke that made him cortically blind because of a damaged visual cortex. And one study with TD showed people may be able to feel they are being watched even if they can’t actually see it. TD was shown pictures of people, some looking directly at him and others looking away. While he “looked” at the pictures, TD was wearing a fMRI scanner that measured his brain activity. TD’s amygdala, part of the brain responsible for processing emotions and processing facial information, was more active when the people in the pictures looked directly at TD. What Does This Mean? Well, it shows us that our brains can detect when people are looking at us even if we haven’t noticed them. But there are some limitations to this.

Content: Even when there is no one else around, we can still sometimes get that weird, eerie feelings. But there’s a reason for this feeling too. The reason you’re feeling that another presence is because there’s actually one there. The weird thing is that presence is actually yours. Our Brain Get’s a Little Confused Sometimes According to one of ScienceDirect’s studies, this feeling is an “illusory own-body perception with well-defined characteristics that is associated with sensorimotor loss and caused by lesions in three distinct brain regions: temporoparietal, insular, and especially frontoparietal cortex.” In plain English, whenever you get the feeling you’re being watched when you’re alone, your brain as made a psychological misperception and is mirroring your own body. In even plainer English, your brain gets a little confused and can’t differentiate between your own body and other bodies. So the thing we think is watching us is actually ourselves.

What Should You Do If You Really Are “Being Watched?” Always, always, always trust your instincts. If you think someone’s really watching you, more than just someone happened to look up at me, you should trust that feeling. Don’t just ignore that feeling, because if you really are being watched or stalked, that isn’t going to just go away if you decide to ignore it. There are several things you can do to get rid of a stalker, but the first step is figuring out if you really have one. After that, you should gather evidence and report the stalker.

Title: How to Get Out of a Commercial Lease, Pain-Free - SquareFoot Blog Headings: How to Get Out of a Commercial Lease, Pain-Free How to Get Out of a Commercial Lease, Pain-Free Why you might break a commercial lease How to minimize costs while breaking a commercial lease Option to sublease Office lease buy-out Termination or exit clause 1. Consider flexible office space instead of traditional office space. 2. Avoid long leases during high-growth periods. 3. License part of your office 4. Read the lease! Content: How to minimize costs while breaking a commercial lease Ending a commercial lease months, or even years early may come with a price tag, but there’s a number of ways to keep your final figure low. Keep in mind that market dynamics will play a role in both determining whether your landlord will be amenable in letting you break your lease early (if you don’t have termination language written in your lease) and how much early termination might cost you. For example, if you’re renting office space in an up-and-coming neighborhood with low vacancy rates, it may be in your landlord’s interest to let you vacate the office space so they can raise the rent for the new commercial tenant. However, if there’s a high percentage of vacant office space and finding a new tenant quickly doesn’t seem promising, you’ll likely be held more accountable financially. Option to sublease Subleasing your office space can be an excellent way to minimize costs and achieve an early exit — as long as you’re prepared to remain involved with the property until your original lease is up. Landlords often include a written sublet clause in a commercial tenant lease that stipulates whether subleasing is or isn’t an option. If you are looking through your lease and don’t see any terms related to subleasing, it doesn’t hurt to ask your landlord to renegotiate those terms (and it helps if you can suggest another tenant). Subleasing means you are still responsible for the lease and you’ll be liable for any damages or lease violations that occur during the sublease. It’s also possible that the landlord will charge fees associated with the sublease, so be sure to factor those into your budget. Landlords can be more favorable to a sublease if you’re nearing the end of your lease and the market is in high demand.

Landlords can be more favorable to a sublease if you’re nearing the end of your lease and the market is in high demand. In that situation, they may even consider a lease assignment, which means the remaining interest of your lease is transferred entirely to a new tenant. If you are looking to sublease your office space working with a tenant broker may help. A tenant broker can find you a new location in addition to securing a new tenant to take over the remaining months left on your lease. For example, SquareFoot has the functionality to post your sublease on their office listings platform so prospective tenants can view your space. Office lease buy-out You can also negotiate with your landlord to buy-out your remaining lease.

The embryo develops rapidly and by the end of the first trimester it becomes a fetus that is fully formed, weighing approximately 1/2 to 1 ounce and measuring, on average, 3 to 4 inches in length. First trimester growth and development benchmarks Just as each child grows and matures at different rates and at different times, so does that same child as it begins its life in the womb. The chart below provides benchmarks for most normal pregnancies. However, each fetus develops differently. By the end of 4 weeks All major systems and organs begin to form The embryo looks like a tadpole The neural tube (which becomes the brain and spinal cord), the digestive system, and the heart and circulatory system begin to form The beginnings of the eyes and ears are developing Tiny limb buds appear (which will develop into arms and legs) The heart is beating By the end of 8 weeks All major body systems continue to develop and function, including the circulatory, nervous, digestive, and urinary systems The embryo is taking on a human shape, although the head is larger in proportion to the rest of the body The mouth is developing tooth buds (which will become baby teeth) The eyes, nose, mouth, and ears are becoming more distinct The arms and legs can be easily seen The fingers and toes are still webbed, but can be clearly distinguished The main organs continue to develop and you can hear the baby's heartbeat using an instrument called a Doppler The bones begin to develop and the nose and jaws are rapidly developing The embryo is in constant motion but cannot be felt by the mother From embryo to fetus After 8 weeks, the embryo is now referred to as a fetus (which means offspring). Although the fetus is only 1 to 1 1/2 inches long at this point, all major organs and systems have been formed. During weeks 9 to 12 The external genital organs are developed Fingernails and toenails appear Eyelids are formed Fetal movement increases The arms and legs are fully formed The voice box (larynx) begins to form in the trachea The fetus is most vulnerable during the first 12 weeks. During this period of time, all of the major organs and body systems are forming and can be damaged if the fetus is exposed to drugs, German measles, radiation, tobacco, and chemical and toxic substances. Even though the organs and body systems are fully formed by the end of 12 weeks, the fetus cannot survive independently.

Changes in the mother's body During pregnancy, many changes are also happening in the body of the mother-to-be. Women experience these changes differently. Some symptoms of pregnancy continue for several weeks or months. Others are only experienced for a short period of time. Some women experience many symptoms.

The normal habitat of organisms is not fully understood. In some young women, the skin of the perineum and the rectum are populated with S. saprophyticus. Staphylococcus Saprophyticus diseases Staphylococcus Saprophyticus plays a role primarily as an agent of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections in young women. In this group, S. saprophyticus is the second most common pathogen in all organisms after Escherichia coli, with a content of 5-20%. Infections occur mostly postcoitum. Staphylococcus Saprophyticus is also responsible for a portion of nonspecific urethritis in sexually active men. Symptoms are dysuric complaints. Pathogenically significant is that S. saprophyticus is able to adhere to the epithelial cells of the urogenital tract. In individual cases, pyelonephritis may occur.

In the case of complicated urinary tract infections, it is generally regarded as a colonization nucleus. Nosocomial infections are virtually non-existent. Antibiotic therapy Acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections in young women generally refer to short-term therapy over three days. Ciprofloxacin (CIPROBAY URO, CIPROHEXAL, among others) or ofloxacin (TARIVID, OFLOHEXAL et al.) Can be used as active ingredients, such as cotrimoxazole (EUSAPRIM and others), trimethoprim (INFECTOTRIMET and others) or quinolones of groups I and II ).

The Importance of Opportunity Cost The Implications for Small Businesses Measuring the Most Effective Way to Spend Widening Your Knowledge and Making Better Decisions Enabling Better Management and Ownership Enabling Better Leadership --- Content: Why Is Opportunity Cost So Important in Business? | SB SHARE Management & Operations 29 Jun 2020 Why Is Opportunity Cost So Important In Business? Preetam Kaushik Economics and business are two disciplines that invariably walk hand in hand, and in the highly complex world of modern commerce, economics can help us understand the key connections between businesses, consumers, states, and other entities. Therefore, a rudimentary working knowledge of some basic economic principles is essential if you want to achieve success as an entrepreneur, and the concept of opportunity cost is perhaps one of the most fundamental principles that you should understand. The Importance of Opportunity Cost Business and, indeed, by extension – life – is full of difficult choices. As a business owner, you may ask yourself: should I spend x amount now on this new piece of equipment? Or should I save it and wait until costs depreciate and go down? Questions such as these are important to answer, as they can have a significant impact on the operational success of your organisation. Indeed, such queries are so essential that there is a term given to this particular dilemma:

Questions such as these are important to answer, as they can have a significant impact on the operational success of your organisation. Indeed, such queries are so essential that there is a term given to this particular dilemma: opportunity cost. When you make a choice, it automatically means that you are foregoing something else in its place. For instance, in the example quoted above, if you spend more on buying new equipment, the opportunity cost would be the extra money you could have saved by waiting. On the flip side, if you took the second option, then you are invoking an opportunity cost of a different sort. Maybe the new equipment in question offers superior efficiency or productivity to your organisation;

The smaller you are as a business organisation, the more acute these problems of scarcity are, too.

This is where measuring and comparing the opportunity cost associated with different actions becomes crucial. It is all about weighing the pros and cons of each business decision. Before allocating your firm's finite resources – be it money, time or labour – it is essential to spend some time considering the risks and rewards.

Measuring the Most Effective Way to Spend Being frugal is always important when running a small business; after all, cash flow is critical to the immediate survival of your organisation. As we have seen repeatedly – and on a large scale – during the COVID-19 pandemic, having reserves of money in the bank can often be the difference between life and death during a crisis. But in some situations, cash sitting idly in the bank is, in itself, an opportunity cost. Imagine a situation where you could have used a portion of your savings to buy more advertisements online or expanded your workforce.

The Importance of Opportunity Cost The Implications for Small Businesses Measuring the Most Effective Way to Spend Widening Your Knowledge and Making Better Decisions Enabling Better Management and Ownership Enabling Better Leadership --- Content: For a small business, growth is essential for survival, and you often have to be proactive. As a result, the key lies in identifying opportunities that do not overextend your finances. There is, after all, a difference between smart spending and being wasteful. If you blow all your funds on different marketing platforms, that is a high-risk move that could have severe repercussions. A smarter decision would be to focus smaller amounts of spending on targeted strategies with a proven return on investment (ROI); maybe email marketing, for example, or print magazine advertising (depending on your target audience). The opportunity cost here is obviously worth it, especially when compared to the more extreme option of blanket spending or, indeed, not spending any money at all. Widening Your Knowledge and Making Better Decisions Of course, it is not always possible to have access to – or be able to contextualise – the bigger picture when making important decisions in business. Often, there are far too many variables, ranging from external factors such as consumer trends, changes in taxes, and natural disasters, to internal factors such as labour shortages, cash crunches or malfunctioning equipment. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, you can only develop an accurate idea about the opportunity cost of a decision after that decision has been made.

If you had more in-depth information about fads and consumer preferences, maybe this problem could have been avoided. Rather than blindly following the dollar signs, you may have been a lot more cautious and not ordered too many spinners, instead allocating the remaining resources to a "safer" long-term seller, such as Lego or Barbie dolls. Considering the opportunity costs involved in each decision encourages you to learn more about the myriad factors involved. It will undoubtedly improve your long-term planning and organising skills – and it ensures that you don't end up with a stock room full of cheap plastic toys that nobody wants.

Enabling Better Management and Ownership As touched upon, opportunity costs come in many forms – they are not restricted to finance alone. It could be related to how you spend your time – even your personal time. For instance, instead of playing golf every weekend, maybe you might have completed a course. Instead of taking a vacation, perhaps you might have focused on expanding your business network. Alternatively, the opportunity cost could be staff-related, such as choosing to allocate more labour or work hours to R&D and product development instead of focusing on your current lineup.

Indeed, only those opportunity costs that involve an outflow of cash from your business will find mention in the account books. Aside from these explicit costs, there are many intangible opportunity costs like the ones mentioned above. It is part of a small business owner or manager's job to focus on identifying and implementing these. Enabling Better Leadership Regardless of whether you consider them or not, opportunity costs represent an important part of your business. Taking them to account is almost always beneficial, in multiple ways. Considering all the pros and cons associated with any action will almost always help to mitigate risks, which isn't just desirable – it's a key responsibility that you should take seriously as a business owner. At the same time, exploring alternatives will often open up bold new avenues for growth and expansion. Ultimately though, the greatest benefit of assessing opportunity costs is this: it will make you a better leader – one who takes each business decision after due consideration.

Title: Understanding Your Values - Part 1 - The Start of Happiness Headings: Understanding Your Values – Part 1 Understanding Your Values – Part 1 Values explained Benefits of understanding your values When you are not in harmony with your values Next step Brendan Baker Get your Free Change Your Life Starter Course Content: The heart is what represents your values, the things that are most important to you. When other parts of our being are not aligned to our values (eg we make a different choice or we take a different path) we experience dis-harmony which can lead to feelings of frustration, confusion, guilt, emptiness or unhappiness. Lets look at an example. Some readers may value their health. If this is a strong value for you then how do you feel after going to a birthday afternoon tea and instead of opting for the healthier options, you realise that you have stuffed yourself with sweet slices, fluffy cupcakes, sugar-coated lollies and soft-drinks. I’m pretty sure you would be feeling a strong sense of guilt, perhaps angry with yourself about your choice. You immediately get a sense that something is ‘wrong’. You’re experiencing dis-harmony. This feeling would differ depending on how strong you value your health. Taking another example.

Photo: Brian Peterson, Star Tribune Curious Minnesota How did Minnesota become the Gopher State? By Mary Lynn Smith Star Tribune October 25, 2019 — 3:16pm It appears Minnesotans have been misled about their beloved gophers. For more than a century, Minnesota has been known as the Gopher State, a nickname that led the University of Minnesota to adopt a smiling, bucktooth rodent dubbed Goldy Gopher as its school mascot in the 1940s. The Minnesota State Fair named Fairchild the gopher as its official mascot in 1966 then added his nephew, Fairborne the gopher, more than two decades later. Dressed in civilized attire, the mascots bop around campus and the fairgrounds with their striped tails wagging. And that, according to people who know their rodents, is the telltale sign that what you’re seeing is no true gopher.

Title: How did Minnesota become the Gopher State? - StarTribune.com Headings: How did Minnesota become the Gopher State? StarTribune How did Minnesota become the Gopher State? Content: Instead, it’s likely a thirteen-lined ground squirrel. But before we get to the nitty-gritty of that, let’s back up a bit. We stumbled onto the gopher-squirrel debate after a reader asked Curious Minnesota how Minnesota became the Gopher State. The question was a top vote-getter at the State Fair, and we decided to nail down the answer as part of our community-driven reporting project fueled by questions from inquisitive readers. Jeff Wheeler, Star Tribune The tail of State Fair mascot Fairchild is striped, a telltale sign that what you're seeing is not a gopher. Lori Williamson of the Minnesota Historical Society figures a political cartoon from 1858 likely inspired the moniker. Legislators in the newly formed state wanted to amend the constitution to enable them to issue credit and loan $5 million to railroad interests, Williamson said. Minnesotans overwhelmingly agreed, voting 25,023 in favor to 6,733 against. St. Paul artist R.O. Sweeny apparently wasn’t a fan of the plan and drew a cartoon depicting nine legislators as striped rodents with human heads pulling a railroad car full of bond holders, Williamson said. The detailed image includes a devil as the pied piper.

Although Minnesota eventually became known as the Gopher State, the gopher — or the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, for that matter — is not listed among the state’s symbols. The loon, monarch butterfly and walleye, however, are among those designated by law. Now let’s get back to the debate over whether those striped rodents are gophers. The pocket gopher, which is native to Minnesota, is a medium-size rodent with huge claws on its front feet — a nice asset for burrowing into the ground, said Lori Naumann with the Nongame Wildlife Program at Minnesota’s Department of Natural Resources. “ But gophers don’t have stripes,” she said.

Human Trafficking vs. Migrant Smuggling How Many Victims of Human Trafficking Are There? International Labour Organization National Human Trafficking Hotline Annual Federal Reports Content: Under such circumstances, perpetrators involved in recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, providing, obtaining, advertising, maintaining, patronizing, or soliciting a person for that purpose are guilty of the federal crime of sex trafficking. This is true even if the victim previously consented to engage in commercial sex. Child Sex Trafficking: Any child (under the age of 18) who has been recruited, enticed, harbored, transported, provided, obtained, advertised, maintained, patronized, or solicited to engage in a commercial sex act is a victim of human trafficking regardless of whether or not force, fraud, or coercion is used. The use of children in the commercial sex trade is prohibited both under U.S. law and by legislation in most countries around the world. Prosecution, Protection, Prevention, and Partnership The “3P” paradigm—prosecution, protection, and prevention—continues to serve as the fundamental framework used around the world to combat human trafficking. The United States also follows this approach, reflected in the United States’ Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 , as amended (TVPA), and in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Palermo Protocol) . In addition, a fourth “P”—for partnership—serves as a complementary means to achieve progress across the 3Ps and enlist all segments of society in the fight against modern slavery. Victims of Human Trafficking Human trafficking victims can be of any age, race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, immigration status, cultural background, religion, socio-economic class, and education attainment level. In the United States, individuals vulnerable to human trafficking include children in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, including foster care;

The United States works to achieve concrete progress on U.S. interests, including ensuring Chinese support for exerting maximum pressure on North Korea to end its nuclear program, reducing the U.S. trade deficit with China, and stopping the flow of illegal opioids from China to the United States. The United States also seeks progress on areas of disagreement such as China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea and lack of respect for human rights and religious freedom.

Bilateral Economic Relations Bahrain’s economy remains dependent on oil and gas resources but has diversified in recent years. In 2019, oil and gas accounted for 17.8% of Bahrain’s GDP, followed by financial services (16.5%), manufacturing (14.5%), and government services (11.8%). The Government of Bahrain has targeted five sectors for future growth: tourism, financial services, manufacturing, logistics and information technology. The first Gulf Cooperation Council Member State to discover oil in 1932, Bahrain currently sources its oil and gas from two fields: the onshore Bahrain Field and Abu Sa’fa, an offshore field shared with Saudi Arabia. Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) is currently undergoing a $5 billion refinery modernization project, the largest capital project in the country’s history. The April 2018 discovery of large unconventional oil resources off the Kingdom’s western coast, as well as significant gas reserves discovered onshore, carry the long-term potential to reinvigorate the sector. The banking and finance sector is the largest non-oil contributor to Bahrain’s economy.

If you have an accident or injury, your health insurance typically helps cover the medical bills. But what if your injury results in a total disability that prevents you from working and you need help paying the mortgage, childcare costs and other daily living expenses? Or, what happens if you get a disabling illness that results in you not being able to work? That's where disability insurance comes in. In contrast to Social Security disability coverage, which has eligibility requirements and a rigorous application process, disability insurance is available to anyone and helps prepare for life’s what-ifs. Here are the different disability insurance policies and options: Short-term disability has a one or three year benefit period and can replace a portion of your monthly income up to a maximum of $3000, based upon your income. Long-term disability has a five year up to age 67 benefit period and can replace a portion of your monthly income up to a maximum of $20,000, based upon your occupation and income.

In his remarks, Cruz urged his Democratic colleagues to support these kinds of “common sense propositions,” a departure from the party’s “extreme” position on abortion. Neither bill — versions of which GOP lawmakers have attempted to pass several times over multiple years — was approved. “We’ve seen far too many Democrats embrace extreme positions on abortion: abortion up until the moment of birth and even, horrifically, after that,” Cruz said, before highlighting a radio interview Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam gave in 2019 about a bill in the Virginia House of Delegates regulating third-trimester abortions. “This bill was allowing a mother in labor, in the process of delivering a child, this bill would allow a doctor to kill that child instead of delivering that child in the midst of labor,” Cruz said. “ The idea of killing a child while the mother is in labor instead of delivering the infant is horrifying beyond words.” Cruz’s claim that Democrats support abortion up until birth and “even, horrifically, after that,” is inaccurate, as is his characterization of the Virginia proposal (which was unsuccessful). Trump claims This isn’t the first time a Republican leader has used an inaccurate description of the Virginia bill to advance legislation to require care for infants “born alive” after attempted abortions.

Trump claims Sources Virginia legislation Northam’s comments Our Ruling Sign up for daily e-mail Wake up to the day’s top news, delivered to your inbox Content: Speaking at a rally in El Paso, he said that Northam “stated that he would even allow a newborn baby to come out into the world ... then talk to the mother and talk to the father and then execute the baby.” We rated this claim False. In a tweet sent days later, Trump said: “ The Democrat position on abortion is now so extreme that they don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth.” We rated that claim False. To be clear: killing an infant after birth is illegal, and people on both sides of the abortion debate agree that this act should be illegal. Under federal law, the definitions of a person, human being, child and individual all include infants “born alive at any stage of development.” Virginia legislation This characterization of Democrats as supporters of allowing abortions during and after a live birth surfaced in early 2019, when a subcommittee of the Virginia House of Delegates considered a bill aimed at loosening the state’s abortion laws. In Virginia, a woman can choose to obtain an abortion through the end of the second trimester of pregnancy, up to 28 weeks from her last menstrual period.

State law in Virginia allows doctors to perform abortions up until the moment of birth, but only in cases when three physicians certify that a continued pregnancy is likely to result in the death of the woman. The author of the bill clarified earlier remarks to say it would not allow an abortion to be performed on a woman during a live birth.

On January 17, 1920, the Volstead Act came into effect and the manufacturing, transportation, importation and sale of alcohol became federally prohibited across the United States, and while consumption was not a federal offence, it was sometimes prohibited on a state level. Opposition to Prohibition remained strong throughout the 1920s, and the Great Depression (starting in 1929) led many to advocate for the sale and taxation of alcoholic beverages in order to ease the US' economic woes. One of the reasons why Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected in 1932 was due to his promise of ending Prohibition, which he did with the Ratification of the 21st Amendment on December 5, 1933. Impact on homicide rate In the two decades before Prohibition, the recorded homicide rate in the United States was growing gradually, although often fluctuating in the 1910s. When Prohibition came into effect, the homicide rate continued on it's previous trajectory, but without fluctuating. While homicides related to alcohol consumption may have declined, some historians speculate that the total number could have continued to rise due to the increase in criminal activity associated with the illegal alcohol trade. The homicide rate in the US reached it's highest figure in the final year of Prohibition, with 9.7 homicides per 100,000 people in 1933, before falling to roughly half of this rate over the next ten years (this decrease in the early 1940s was also facilitated by the draft for the Second World War). Impact on suicide rate Alcohol's contribution to suicide rates has been significant throughout history, however it is only through more recent studies that society is beginning to form a clearer picture of what the relationship between the two actually is.

Impact on suicide rate Alcohol's contribution to suicide rates has been significant throughout history, however it is only through more recent studies that society is beginning to form a clearer picture of what the relationship between the two actually is. In the first half of the twentieth century, there was no record of alcohol's role in individual suicide cases, however there was a noticeable change in the US' suicide rate during the 1920s. Prior to Prohibition, the suicide rate had already fallen from over 16 deaths per 100,000 people in 1915 to 11.5 in 1919, however this decline has been attributed to the role played by the First World War, which saw millions enlist and contribute to the war effort (a similar decrease can be observed in the lead up to the Second World War). After an initial spike in 1921, the suicide rate in the US then increases gradually throughout the 1920s, spiking again following the Great Depression in 1929. It is unclear whether the reduction in the US suicide rate in the 1910s and 1920s can be attributed to Prohibition, or whether it should be attributed to a variety of socio-economic factors, however the changing figures does suggest some correlation when compared with other decades.

The leading causes of death for African Americans generally reflects the leading causes of death for the entire United States population. However, a major exception is that death from assault or homicide is the eighth leading cause of death among African Americans but is not among the ten leading causes for the general population. Homicide among African Americans The homicide rate among African Americans has been higher than that of other races and ethnicities for many years. In 2016, there were 38 homicide deaths per 100,000 population among male African Americans and only 5 such deaths per 100,000 population for white males. A majority of these homicides are committed with firearms, which are easily accessible in the United States. The rate of firearm-related deaths among African American males is over double that of white males. Cancer disparities There are also major disparities in access to health care and the impact of various diseases. For example, the incidence rate of cancer among African American males is the greatest among all ethnicities and races. Furthermore, although the incidence rate of cancer is lower among African American women than it is among white women, cancer death rates are still higher among African American women.

Attitudes to the trustworthiness of CNN varied among adults in different age brackets, with more than double the share of adults aged over 65 deeming the news publication very untrustworthy than those aged between 18 and 29 years. Opinions on news media tend to vary according to readers’ political stance, age, educational background and myriad other factors, and in an age of fake news consumers are demonstrating a higher degree of awareness of how and where they access their news. Navigating news media in the United States In 2017, ABC was considered the most credible major news organization in the United States, followed closely by CBS and NBC. By comparison, just 18 percent of surveyed U.S. adults thought of Breitbart as a credible news source, and Huffington Post did not fare much better. Credibility is important – there are serious concerns about the accuracy of news stories and a study revealed that most Americans believed that fake news causes a great deal of confusion about basic facts. Accurate reporting as a result of proper research and fact-checking is more in demand than ever, as consumers grow increasingly concerned about the trustworthiness of traditional and modern news sources. So what does this mean for publications like CNN?
