Content: This accident, considered in the context of the preceding one, triggered an international aviation crisis. The aircraft was grounded pretty much everywhere within a matter of days in March 2019. Boeing has been struggling in the near-two years since and it’s been in a constant state of damage control too; its reputation is in shambles. It delayed its next-generation 777 project and it halted 737 MAX production while it tried to figure out why its planes would inexplicably dive back to Earth. A series of investigations meanwhile revealed a culture of gross negligence throughout all levels of the company AND the United States’s regulatory agency, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The manufacturer ultimately bears culpability for the 346 people who died in the two crashes, and it’s been paying billions of dollars worth of fines (including one as punishment for fraud conspiracy) and settlements as a way to atone for its grave failures. Some grounded 737 MAXs awaiting to re-enter service. The image is courtesy of SounderBruce, who shared it; accessed on Wikipedia.

Content: Rosenthal and Jacobson referred to this as the Pygmalion Effect. Robert Marzano found that when we have high expectations of students we act differently. We call on them more often, wait longer for their answers, and give them more opportunities to succeed. For more on the Art and Science and a 4 – step process for high expectations for students, read here
Carol Dweck in her book, Mindset: How You Can Achieve Your Potential tells of a researcher by the name of Falko Rheinberg, who studied how students’ academic achievement and progress is influenced by the teachers’ mindset about intellectual ability. What he found was that when teachers believe that ability is fixed, the students end the year at the same level as when they began the year i.e. if students were in the bottom group at the beginning of the year, then they were in the bottom group at the end of the year. When teachers taught with a growth mindset, it didn’t matter where the students began, all students progressed and developed to a much higher degree. There was much more movement between ability groups as students learned and improved. It is more helpful to ask,
‘How can I teach these students this content?’ rather than
‘ Can I teach them?’

Content: But not so with absentee ballot fraud. Although voter fraud of any kind is rare, absentee ballot fraud is the most common type. A high-profile instance in North Carolina last year involved “ballot harvesting,” in which unscrupulous operatives collected absentee ballots and filled them out themselves. A similar case occurred the year before in a small town in Mississippi. Well-publicized cases of such fraud have also been reported in Texas over the years. These cases are certainly the exception and not the rule. A comprehensive study of election fraud cases by Arizona State University’s News21 journalism project found only 491 cases of absentee ballot fraud out of literally billions of votes cast in U.S. elections since 2000. But, rare or not, if we were to move to vote-by-mail, would that significantly increase the risk of voter fraud? Probably not, according to the Heritage Foundation’s data. The think tank compiles a database of reported instances of voter fraud or election fraud.

2020 Dems' stances abortion: Unjust and ignorant

Sorry, the video player failed to load. ( Error Code: 100013)
More than a dozen Democratic candidates have announced or officially entered the 2020 presidential race. Not one has said they support abortion restrictions of any kind. Not a single candidate has deviated from the Democratic Party platform’s support of federally funded abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, for any reason. With recent polls revealing that the electorate is increasingly pro-life, this extreme pro-abortion stance is in stark contrast to the views of the large majority of Americans.

With recent polls revealing that the electorate is increasingly pro-life, this extreme pro-abortion stance is in stark contrast to the views of the large majority of Americans. ADVERTISEMENT
Rather than adopting the Democrats’ extreme stance on abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, the latest polling shows a full 75 percent of the 1,066 Americans surveyed believe that abortion should be limited to the first trimester. This includes 92 percent of Republicans, 78 percent of Independents, 60 percent of Democrats and even 6 in 10 people who identify as “pro-choice.” This most recent survey of Americans’ views on abortion was taken in the wake of efforts in several states to legalize abortion up until birth, a position Democratic politicians generally support. The new polling results show a massive double-digit shift away from the pro-choice position and towards a pro-life stance. The greatest shift has been among Democrats and people under 45.

The number of Democrats calling themselves pro-life increased by 14 percentage points and the proportion of Democrats identifying as pro-choice dropped from 75 percent to 61 percent. Younger Americans’ position has also shifted dramatically and is now split almost evenly between 47 percent pro-life to 48 percent pro-choice. One month before the polling, the gap was almost 40 percentage points with only 28 percent identifying as pro-life and 65 percent identifying as pro-choice. Americans are now, for the first time since 2009, as likely to identify as pro-life as pro-choice. Only 13 percent of Americans believe that abortion should generally be legal in the third trimester.

And even fewer — only 12 percent — support using federal tax dollars to fund abortions at any stage. The veil has been lifted on the Democratic Party’s 1996 statements describing abortion as a “difficult issue” we should make “less necessary” and “more rare”. Though the Democratic Party platform has long been in favor of abortion, in 2016, the Democrats adopted radical language promising to “oppose — and seek to overturn — federal and state laws and policies that impede a woman’s access to abortion, including by repealing the Hyde Amendment,” a law which prevents federal tax dollars from paying for abortions that has passed Congress with bipartisan support every year since it was first enacted in 1976. This month, on March 12, 2019, the Senate introduced a bill to reverse Hyde and force any federal health program to directly pay for abortions. This effort to reverse Hyde goes against the majority of Americans’ views, given that nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose their tax dollars paying for abortion.

The 2020 Democratic candidates have fallen in line with their party. Instead of responding to the American electorate, which is increasingly concerned with our country’s anti-life ideology, they answer to their financial backers: pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and its political arms.

Content: Williamson has bent over backwards to make it clear that she is “100% pro-choice,” and Yang’s campaign platform says, “Access to safe and affordable abortion services should also be provided to all Americans.” Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) has been less overt about his support for abortion, and Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) has not explicitly supported late-term abortion. But Hickenlooper has never attempted to distance himself from his party’s radical platform. He is an open supporter of abortion and of Planned Parenthood and in 2018, Inslee signed a bill forcing all employers — including those with pro-life convictions — to pay for abortions through their health-care plans. On abortion, the Democratic Party and its 2020 Democratic candidates are ignoring the American electorate and the scientific realities of human life in the womb, all while pretending to care about innocent life. Just a few days after voting against the Born-Alive Survivors Protect Act, Sen. Kamala Harris said in a statement supporting gun control, “We cannot tolerate a society and live in a country with any level of pride when our babies are being slaughtered.” It is hard to see how this is anything but hypocrisy. As science reveals more and more about prenatal developmental and embryology, it becomes impossible to deny the humanity of children in the womb without denying science itself.

Health insurance for undocumented immigrants? It's only fair to all of us
Content: For instance, if you want to benefit from a system, you should also contribute to that system. And, if you contribute to that system, you should also be able to benefit from it when you are in need. Our current system grossly violates these basic rules of thumb. ADVERTISEMENT
Some undocumented immigrants have private health insurance but about half do not. They often work for small businesses that do not provide health insurance to their employees. If they were citizens, they would be able to purchase an individual or family insurance plan on one of the health-care exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). And if they could not afford to pay for a full-priced plan, they would receive a tax subsidy to offset a portion of their premium. Unfortunately, undocumented immigrants are excluded from any participation in the mechanisms of the Affordable Care Act. However, they will receive care at a hospital emergency room when necessary. Hospital emergency rooms must examine all patients who present for care and cannot discharge them until they are “stabilized” regardless of their ability to pay.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act ( EMTALA) was passed more than thirty years ago to prevent some hospitals from closing their doors entirely to the uninsured and diverting them to competitor hospitals. Moreover, it reflects an intuition that we don’t want people to die in the streets. Hospital emergency rooms must take them in and can’t discharge until the danger of dying in the street is no longer imminent. So, we have a policy that requires some services to be provided to patients who are prohibited from paying their fair share for those services through the usual mechanism of paying an insurance premium. Conversely, undocumented immigrants pay into government safety-net systems that they cannot access.

Most undocumented immigrants pay federal and state taxes thereby contributing to the Medicare and Medicaid systems. When an undocumented immigrant suffers, say, a significant workplace injury, he is brought to the hospital which must accept him because of EMTALA. After stabilizing him, the hospital may need to transfer him to less intensive facility for rehabilitation care. However, EMTALA does not require any facility other than hospital emergency rooms to accept an uninsured patient. In many states, Medicaid would cover the cost of a rehabilitation or skilled nursing facility.

But as these patients are ineligible for this “benefit” to which they contribute, they are essentially stuck in the hospital which must care for them without compensation. Of course, hospitals recover such expenses through higher charges to patients with private health insurance. It is clear that undocumented immigrants receive some benefits from a health-care system to which they are prohibited from contributing and do not receive benefits from government insurance systems to which they contribute. These inequities are not only unfair, but they also make our hospitals and health-care system less efficient and effective. Keeping an injured worker in the hospital who can be better and less expensively cared for at a rehabilitation facility is wasteful and disruptive of the health-care delivery system.

Not exactly. The Boeing cost was $5.2m. The negotiated price is $3.6m per plane. But the DoD is putting in extra in the budget to cover over runs. Pretty normal stuff of the government.

Content: Fifty-six state legislators also signed the letter addressed to the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee. The letter urges the Democratic Party to adopt the abortion language from its 2000 platform, which recognized differences of opinion on abortion as a “source of strength” and welcomed Americans of all abortion stances. ADVERTISEMENT
The letter argues that the party’s embrace of abortion rights will alienate voters, particularly in battleground states. “We should not cede large swathes of the United States to the Republican Party,” the letter reads. “ In the US, pro-life Democrats have been a critical part of the coalition to expand voting rights, improve health care, and pass criminal justice reform. These accomplishments would not have been possible if the Democratic Party had in place a litmus test on abortion.” The 2020 Democratic platform, which was released last month and will be voted on and formally approved by Democratic National Committee (DNC) members at next week's virtual convention, unequivocally supports abortion rights. “Like the majority of Americans, Democrats believe that every woman should be able to access high-quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion,” the draft platform reads. In the draft, Democrats also commit to restoring federal funding for Planned Parenthood, opposing state laws that limit abortion rights, repealing the Hyde Amendment, which bars the use of federal funds to pay for abortion services, and codifying the Roe v. Wade court case that provides a legal defense of abortion. ADVERTISEMENT
Friday's letter, however, calls for the party to abandon language supporting the repeal of the Hyde Amendment and codification of Roe v. Wade.

Why does history matter?
Share this:
Content: Every event in the course of history is subject to such significant difference in detail, from country to climate and from socio-economic standing to political stability, that it would be impossible to gain a definitive evaluation of today’s situation based on history alone. Generally though, this simply tells us that whilst history is useful in drawing comparisons from the past and providing a starting point for analysts, it is not definitive as it is far too ambiguous and broad in its nature. [ 6] By likening our actions to those of historical figures we can follow a moral template only to be filled in by the details of the present. Furthermore, history is significant in its ability to provide us with a strong national identity that constantly updates itself as it traces our nations’ paths through time. We are provided with an extensive aetiological knowledge by tracing the steps of our forebears and in doing so are bound to embrace the substantial collective memory evident in every united nation. Nationalism is at the core of our educational system, if not always at the core of our policy aims. In the early twentieth century significant portions of state budget was focussed on improving education with the central goal of disciplining children via nationalistic ideologies in north-western Europe. This was implemented by further secularising schools and training the youth with the morality of patriotism by teaching them the history of their ‘great’ nation. Whilst being highly educated is key to a free and democratic society and providing a strong sense of devotion to one’s country, can instil a sense of heritage and belonging, already we can see the beginnings of a secret agenda and the building of a biased collective memory. The aforementioned steps to improving education in the early twentieth century were undoubtedly steps towards the militarisation of their individual nation with the aim of indoctrinating the country to form a united front.

The aforementioned steps to improving education in the early twentieth century were undoubtedly steps towards the militarisation of their individual nation with the aim of indoctrinating the country to form a united front. Stefan Berger deals with the complexity of differentiating between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ nationalism, arguing that ‘both shared a high potential for xenophobia and violence’ [7]. Knowing this, we can see that whilst history matters as an instrument for uniting people nationally by providing them with a common history and heritage, it has the potential to incite violence through nationalism’s ability to be both inclusive and exclusive in its memory; i.e. by marking only events in history which penalise a certain country or race as a nation’s enemy, a nation may become resentful towards said country or race. For example, blaming the Jews for extreme social changes in early twentieth century Europe without considering their status as an important economic group, contributed to the growth of anti-Semitism. This trend is also politically significant, as it has destructively impacted upon both the left and right, with both communism and fascism now subject to negative connotations as a result of brutal regimes.

Content: At egg-producing CAFOs, male chicks are ground up alive while egg-laying hens have large portions of their beaks removed. Piglets are castrated without any painkillers and their mothers are confined in spaces so tight they can’t even turn around. In feedlots, animals such as cows designated for meat consumption are crowded together in tight, filthy pens before they are shipped away to slaughter. Monocultures, also known as monocropping, involves huge swaths of land dedicated to a single crop. Wheat, corn, and soy are major crops in the United States. Monocropping is highly unnatural and depletes the soil at unsustainable rates, leading to heavy application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides which cause problems of their own. Why is Industrial Agriculture Bad? Industrial agriculture is endlessly damaging toward the environment and all those it seeks to exploit. Not only do many of the major players in industrial agriculture have dark, violent histories, but the technologies employed, and the underlying disrespect for life, results in massive casualties. The industrial agriculture system today is set up to line the pockets of the powerful few industry leaders at the expense of nearly everyone else.

The industrial agriculture system today is set up to line the pockets of the powerful few industry leaders at the expense of nearly everyone else. Abuse is perhaps the defining characteristic of industrial agriculture and is present at all levels of these operations. Animal abuse is one of the most obvious, despite being hidden behind picturesque marketing materials and “humane” labels, which are doled out liberally and use woefully insufficient guidelines. Abuse of people is common within this industry as well. Workers in slaughterhouses have been known to develop debilitating mental conditions including PTSD, and are routinely exposed to a number of potentially fatal hazards. Field workers are among the most oppressed of any workers in the US and are vulnerable to human trafficking, assault from superiors, and other horrors.

Content: Why Genocide? - TheHumanist.com
Why Genocide? Over the past fifteen years United Nations tribunals have addressed genocide issues associated with conflicts in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur. The most recent development in this connection is the arrest on July 18, 2008, of Radovan Karadžić, a man who had been indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia on charges that he, “acting individually between 1 July 1991 and 19 July 1996, or in concert with others,” committed acts of “genocide; crimes against humanity; violations of the laws or customs of war and grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949.” Four days before this, on July 14, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court pursued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir on ten counts of “genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes” allegedly committed in Darfur since July 1, 2002. That such legal actions can prove effective is demonstrated not only by the media publicity generated worldwide but by a recent track record of prosecutorial success. For example, Jean Kambanda was sentenced to life imprisonment for genocide and related crimes committed while he was prime minister of Rwanda in 1994. This action was taken by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda on September 4, 1998.

And the tribunal has so far completed twenty-one trials, resulting in the convictions of twenty-eight people for various crimes in connection with the Rwandan genocide. So the machinery for indictment, arrest, trial, and conviction is not only in place but its reach and influence are expanding. This is because the world has grown increasingly impatient with both nations and individuals that commit such crimes.

With the existence of such worldwide interest in stopping genocide, the question naturally arises: why do mass killings and genocide occur in the first place? What could possibly motivate human beings to visit such inhumanity, such extreme levels of violence and murder, upon their fellow humans–even a portion of the population of their own country? How do people get past normal human empathy and the natural promptings of conscience so as to even be able to carry out such horrors? Are such people mad? That would be a difficult case to make, given the large number of human beings who have, throughout history, abetted mass killings and genocide.

Why Genocide?
Content: In sum, this practice of ethnic cleansing confers actual genetic benefits on the victors. Given this uncomfortable fact of nature, of human history, and of the modern world, what can we do? Well, we certainly don’t wish to live in a Darwinian jungle where survival of the most genocidal is the rule of life. That’s where a human invention called civilization comes in. What is civilization, after all, but humanity’s effort to repeal the law of the jungle? It is, in a sense, a conspiracy of the weak against the strong for the benefit of all. And it has proven itself extremely effective. The key to ending modern outbreaks of mass murder and genocide, then, is to first realize that these practices do normally benefit those who use them. Second, the world community needs to become so structured that these benefits are clearly outweighed by new liabilities. In other words, humanity has to consciously decide that mass murder and genocide are unacceptable and then vigorously and consistently act in ways that discourage their practice as well as lead to their elimination.

Military action to stop crimes against humanity or genocide can be warranted. But safeguards are needed, since noble justifications have frequently been claimed for unwarranted invasions. Examples exist as far apart in history as Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars and George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

B. large-scale “ethnic cleansing,” actual or apprehended, whether carried out by killing, forced expulsion, acts of terror or rape.

Currently the most appropriate body to decide when and where these criteria have been met would be the United Nations rather than any individual nation acting alone or in coalition with partners. Applying these criteria to specifics, the situation in Darfur exemplifies the need for a swift, strong, and just international response, though not an invasion at this time. In order to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of every human being, universal investigation and prosecution of those responsible for the current atrocities are necessary. In the short run, these actions can reduce further violence in Darfur; in the long run, justice and accountability will be served–not only to the benefit of the victims but toward building long-term peace in the region.

Altruism
Content: In many ways, empathy is the first step to ethical behavior as it allows us to respond compassionately to the suffering of others and exercise good judgement when our actions may affect someone else. Understanding another’s perspective is not only critical to building better relationships, but also makes us better citizens in our local and global communities. Empathy promotes tolerance, consideration, and compassion amongst us all. Humility
Humility means displaying modesty about accomplishments, talents, gifts, or importance of self. It acknowledges we humans are fallible and have limitations in what we know and can do. Being humble isn’t about having low self-esteem or denigrating oneself. Humility at its core is robust self-awareness—awareness of our strengths and weaknesses, our faults and our merits. Humility involves setting aside personal pride and overcoming our egos to embrace gratitude for what you have and appreciate others for who they are. In being humble, one recognizes their own value in relation to others; inherently, you are neither better nor worse than anyone else.

About the Author: Steven Jonathan Rummelsburg
Content: There is a madness in this age of progressive thought that would have us believe that, as a result of the rapid technological advancement, we will eventually be able explain all reality by empirical means. The scientific view of man is a usurper in this scientistic age. Notions of God and creation are increasingly considered superstitious. Philosophy has been reduced to material terms, and now even morality is becoming secularized. Many elements in the scientific view of man are factually correct, but this view comprises a most base understanding of man. Taken by itself, it becomes a deadly reduction of the reality of human existence. It must necessarily see humans as means to be used, not as ends to be loved. It can allow for humans to be manipulated, used, and eliminated if deemed necessary. We are rational creatures, so the scientific view subordinates reason to serve science, not the other way around. We must go beyond the merely material to examine how the gift of our intellect provides insight into the human condition not afforded by the material sciences.

Content: What could be more confidence -boosting than that? When you think creatively and overcome all kinds of challenges, you’re proving to yourself that you’re a capable person. Very few good things in life come without some effort. On the way, creativity makes that process more engaging as well as rewarding. #6. Creativity helps clarify your thoughts and feelings
The mind can be a chaotic place. It can feel like you’re chasing one thought or feeling after another like a dog chasing every car he sees. Traditional ways of outlining your thoughts and feelings are often too linear and don’t encompass what’s going on. More creative ways like journaling, mind-mapping, and even drawing let you release the contents of your mind without restrictions. When you don’t judge yourself and let your thoughts and feelings run free, you’ll get more clarity on them.

Content: Prisoners self is taken away and in many cases they are dehumanized with in the walls of the prison. With in these walls they suffer dehumanizing treatment from guards. Prisoners are not being groomed to re-enter society a functioning member of society but as a criminal in society. Prisoners are released with no help in becoming a functioning member of society. They lose many rights when they are released and often are unable to get employment because they must disclose they have been in prison. Without employment they are already breaking their parole/probation, putting them at risk of being sent back into prison. The criminal justice system needs to be restructured in order to be more restorative, in order to work properly. Many are in prison and the U.S. is currently the number one in the world with the number of prisoners. Millions are in prison with no hope of re-entering society as a functioning member of society. The criminal justice system expects them to have their shit together when they take every government assistants away because they have been convicted of a crime.

This is an example of group discrimination and prejudice. Unfortunately, prejudices are pervasive in society. Often, people use their age as an excuse to dismiss young people and to establish an arbitrary hierarchy. Additionally, young people are more susceptible to influence (positive or negative) from others. This vulnerability is taken advantage of. In many cases, young people are manipulated and controlled by figures of authority in their lives, and aren’t given the respect they deserve.

Social Media’s Impact on Self-esteem
Access to social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and beyond has made people of every age get hooked to social media. During this era, communication through social platforms is more common than meeting in person, which is a rarity nowadays. It does come with its advantages, but it has also led to the paradox of loneliness, anxiety, depression, hatred and narcissism that is in a way linked directly with social media’s excessive usage. That being said, there are both sides to social media. It can have its effects on us in the following ways. Positive impacts of Social Media on Self-Esteem
There are definite positive impacts of social media. Social platforms like Facebook and Instagram can not only make us stay in contact with the surrounding issues and state of the world but also link us with our family and friends who live far away from us. Other business platforms like LinkedIn can introduce us to the professional world, providing us with jobs and new experiences. In a nutshell, social world an serve as a creative outlet to market businesses, along with spreading important messages, stay up-to-date with modern technology and news, or simply express your viewpoints on a public platform. Negative impacts of Social Media on Self-Esteem
Being a useful place for many, it can also provide a lot of damage and distraction to some people in the following ways.

Content: In this paradox, we forget that our own opinion is way more valuable and worthy than anyone else’s. Deceit-fullness
Despite having a life full of sorrows and difficulties, people opt to post those moments of life filled with joy, happiness, pleasure, social events and success only. It pressurises us to maintain unrealistic standards created by those people. However, we often forget that those pictures are edited to the extent that they look perfect to us. It can be frustrating, thus lowering our self-esteem to the lowest standards. Comparison and competition
When social media is constantly feeding us with pictures of perfect people with perfect lives, it lowers our self-esteem. It creates an unhealthy amount of comparison and competition. A person who is already struggling with low self-esteem and self-doubt will feel like he is living a below-average life after seeing others living their best lives. Despite being a harmful platform, social media itself is not the root of depression and anxiety. Issues arise in our head when we get carried away and lose grasp of reality, making social media a reality.

Content: Threats to Group Effectiveness
What makes a group ineffective? Why do a group fail to perform in the desired manner? A group is made up of people with different mindsets and behaviour. Following are some of the significant reasons for which the workgroups tend to under-perform the given task: Social Loafing
If even one of the group members tend to become reluctant and under-performs the given task, the chances are that the other members need to put in extra efforts for completing the project. All of this may result in social loafing, which ultimately leads to poor teamwork and ineffective group efforts. Groupthink
A group decision which is taken in hustle or without much of discussion may create havoc for the whole team. It usually results in biased decision making, lack of a backup plan, limited alternatives, declining expert advice and improper revaluation of the various possibilities. Poor Leadership
Another significant risk to the group functioning is the improper guidance or direction to the members. If the group leader lacks the sufficient skills of management, then the team members may not be able to rely on his/her decisions.

Title: Skin Care FAQ: What Is An Emulsion?
Headings:
Content: It’s perfectly lightweight and doesn’t feel too heavy, yet the addition of niacinamide adds a reinforcing barrier to protect the skin and make it stronger while antioxidants get to work nourishing and clearing sensitive skin. This product acts as a toner, essence, and emulsion all in one, and promotes elasticity and an even skin tone and texture. It also passed the “Skin Irritation Test,” making it ideal for sensitive skin types. And if you’re in my camp and struggle with dry skin, emulsions are seriously a life-saver. When you double up on emulsion and cream, the emulsion locks in the moisture from your prior steps and the cream can be focused on just soaking into the skin and hydrating it even further. For dry skin, the Etude House Moistfull Collagen Emulsion is perfect to adhere moisture and nutrients to skin and leave it feeling hydrated and elastic. The emulsion has small particles of super collagen water and baobab water which absorb quickly into skin; it’s lightweight yet moisturizing, and with a jelly-like consistency and smooth formula, you’ll feel your skin become hydrated and refreshed immediately. For even more moisture, you can also mix a facial oil into your emulsion since emulsions are water based and mixing in an oil means your skin gets both water and an oil-based moisture. Bottom Line
Ever since I started using an emulsion, my skin wakes up feeling hydrated and supple, and I certainly feel it has helped my night cream be more effective.

And during the winter months when my skin is fighting against freezing New York City winds, I apply the emulsion in the morning too and that extra layer of moisture really saves the day. At the end of the day, it makes sense why emulsions have been so hard to pin down: because they have different uses and purposes for everyone. Just like treatment products, what emulsion you use and how you use it really depends on your specific needs. But whether you’re trying to find a lighter moisturizer for humid weather, or you’re looking for another layer of moisture to keep your skin from drying out, emulsions can certainly find a way into your routine.

Expectations vary with Age Group
Setting Parent Expectations
Leading by Example
Working as a Team
Content: Not doing so, may eventually lead to parent-teacher conflicts. Many parents aren’t much experienced about relinquishing authority over their children. Learning about parental behavior parameters will help them to assess their new role as their child is now studying in school. For example, teachers should give prior information to parents when the report cards will come out and when they will be sent home. This will stop the parents from constantly asking the teachers about the status of report cards. Sometimes we can see that parents are less involved with their ward’s education. This may lead to the student’s poor performance in studies. A parent’s involvement is crucial for a child’s educational development. If teachers set expectations for the parents, then they will up their game and participate fully to ensure that their ward works hard and comes out with flying colors in curricular and extra-curricular activities. Research has found that students, whose parents actively participate in their academics, are likely to excel in studies, develop healthy social skills, and attend classes regularly.

Content: Why do physical stores keep closing? It’s partly due to the ongoing e-commerce boom, (the hardest-hit stores were declining in sales before COVID-19) but mostly due to the pandemic that has kept shoppers, like you and me, at home. While retail brick-and-mortar stores close up shop at a record pace, thousands of hard-working employees lose their jobs and loyal shoppers, like us, either find an alternative or turn to online shopping. It’s heartbreaking. Here’s a list of the most recent store closings and bankruptcies, which I’ll update with changes as they occur: 1. Pier 1 Imports closed all 950 stores. On May 19, Pier 1 Importsannounced that instead of closing half their stores forever, they were calling it quits and that all 950 stores would be closing.

Title: Tik Tok is ticking time off your clock – The Lancer Link

Tik Tok is ticking time off your clock
Sophia Osborn, Assistant Editor | January 2, 2020
By Sophie Werwage
Tik Tok is a popular app that has had an increased popularity in the recent months. Everybody knows the popular app Tik Tok and the different videos posted to the social media platform. As a student trying to balance the homework load, sports and having a social life all within the week, when given the opportunity for downtime, I often go on social media as a way to relax. Now with Tik Tok in mind, seven second videos sound like a great way to spend that time. What this generation doesn’t realize is that Gen Z spends way too much time and energy on Tik Tok. It’s beginning to affect our day to day activities and how our generation spends time. Tik Tok takes away from any free time that you could be spending with your friends or family. Loading ...
Over 500 million people have downloaded Tik Tok and are using it daily and it shows in students day to day activities. Students are now spending too much time watching these videos and spending less time with their friends and studying. At our school alone, 58 students spend three or more hours on the app.

Content: With our generation we have to be careful about what we post and what we consume in media form. Whether its by form of video, actual consumptions or just being on social media too much, people spend way too much energy caring about how many likes people get or how many followers we have than the real problem: our life passing us by. Even here the average amount of time that is spent on Tik Tok is three or more hours which is relatively high compared to other people’s consumption which ranges about 30 minutes to an hour. “
Usually I’ll get home from school and browse through mutiple social media apps, like Snapchat, Instagram, and Tik Tok as I find a quick snack. It doesn’t really affect my daily activities if I manage my time correctly, but in the past, it has and it was… really bad for my sleep schedule.” — Scarlet Zhao
This app takes away from their school work and getting their high school diploma and/or degree or earning enough money for themselves and all they spend money on. 67 students say that they could not quit tik tok if they needed too. This just proves that tik tok is one of the many addictions our generation is facing. This all started because musically turned into Tik Tok and we all thought it was a giant joke but now were very addicted.

There are ways we can combat this addiction though. To start off, screen time is a huge help. On Apple phones as well as Samsung, you are able to set screen time to limit hours on apps and to help restrict the temptations Tik Tok create in our day to day lives.

You could also have quiet time which is the same thing as screen regulation. Screen time would give you a set amount of time to be on the app and then remind you when you have 30 minutes left or even five minutes left. We are all addicted to technology as much as we want to deny it. We use technology to our advantage but let’s not allow this to be our own downfall. I’m not saying to cut off all technology like the boomers want us to, but we should at least limit ourselves for the sake of our health.

Content: The empanadilla dough was very light and flaky which made this recipe even better. For the dough, mix flour, salt, butter (slice up the stick of butter first) and egg with a food processor or mixer. Start adding water slowly until you get a nice stretchy dough consistency. The dough shouldn’t be sticky, if it is, add more flour to the mix. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step is not absolutely necessary, but it does make the dough easier to work with. Season ground beef with Adobo to desired taste, add chopped garlic cloves and brown the meat in a skillet. You may also use salt and pepper instead of Adobo if you prefer. Once meat is cooked add Sofrito, Sazon, tomato sauce, onions, green peppers, red peppers, and potatoes. Let it simmer until potatoes are tender.

Place a spoonful of beef filling on the dough and fold it shut. My favorite method for sealing empanadillas is to use a fork.

Content: Because early infancy intervention is essential for babies with CCHD, adding CCHD to newborn screening is an important strategy to assure that all newborns are screened. Some states now mandate that all newborns be screened by pulse oximetry for CCHD as part of newborn screening. The role of state health departments in supporting CCHD screening adoption and monitoring of screening rates and outcomes varies. Unlike other current newborn screening tests, the health care team should assure diagnostic, and when necessary, treatment services are provided to those babies with a failed CCHD screen prior to discharge home. It is also important for health care providers in states that have adopted CCHD newborn screening to be aware of the specific requirements and recommendations for screening and the reporting of results. The AAP recommends that all newborns be screened for CCHD, regardless of whether they live in a state that includes CCHD screening within their newborn screening program.
If an asymptomatic infant fails their pulse-oximetry screening, what is the likelihood that CCHD or some other serious disease is present? In the Swedish study on which the recommended pulse-oximetry screening protocol is based, 25% of babies with a failed screen had CCHD, 47% had another disease process such as pulmonary pathology or sepsis, and 28% were well. Published data from New Jersey demonstrates that in asymptomatic babies with a failed CCHD screen, 10% had CCHD, 23% had another disease process causing hypoxemia, and 67% had non-critical congenital heart defect or were well. The differences between these two studies may be in part related to age at screening and a much higher prenatal detection rate of CCHD in New Jersey than in Sweden.

Overall, the false positive rate is very low. It is important to recognize that a baby with a failed screen can look completely well on exam but have a significant underlying medical problem. Won’t CCHD be detected prenatally or by my exam in the nursery? Maybe not. Prenatal ultrasounds can detect fewer than half of the cases of CCHD and predicting saturations based on visual examination of color is unreliable. Prior to discharge, some babies with CCHD will have normal exams and not appear cyanotic.

Content: There are some very uncommon reasons that CCHD screening might not be done (eg, babies who have an echocardiogram prior to discharge to home from the nursery or babies who have such serious medical conditions that no intervention would be done if CCHD were identified). Some parents might also refuse CCHD screening. In that case, parents should be educated about the benefits of screening and, if they still refuse, the refusal should be documented in the medical record. To avoid missing screening opportunities, plan to screen all newborns. Also, be aware of any state-specific rules, which may require that all newborns be screened.
Who should do the screening? CCHD screening should be conducted by individuals who have pulse-oximetry testing within their scope of practice, who are trained in the use of pulse oximetry and the CCHD algorithm, and who regularly use pulse oximetry for other purposes. Ultimately, the health care provider of record for each newborn is responsible for assuring that screening was appropriately completed.
What pulse-oximetry equipment should I use? Many pulse oximeters are currently available, and most hospitals have pulse oximeters already available. Only hospital-grade pulse oximeters designed for use in neon

Freight Rail Policy Stance: Lawmakers should not legislatively mandate two-person crew sizes, such as called for in the Safe Freight Act of 2019. These efforts would upend decades of meaningful collective bargaining and undermine the industry’s ability to compete in a rapidly changing transportation space. DOWNLOAD FACT SHEET
Crew staffing — particularly the number of persons in the locomotive — has always been established through collective bargaining, a longstanding process used by railroads and rail labor to negotiate wages, benefits and work rules, not by legislation. Current legislative efforts to require at least two-person crews lack a safety justification; ignore the safe and successful use of single-person crews that have happened for decades at some U.S. freight railroads and in passenger and freight rail systems throughout the world; upend decades of meaningful collective bargaining between rail management and rail labor; and undermine the sector’s ability to compete against less climate friendly forms of transportation. After five years of analysis, The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the nation’s the expert federal regulatory agency that Congress has vested authority in establish national standards in every area of railroad safety, has evaluated this issue in the past and has never regulated train crew size. The FRA even went as far to rescind a proposal requiring two people in the cab of a locomotive, concluding that federal crew size regulation is unnecessary.

Content: ignore the safe and successful use of single-person crews that have happened for decades at some U.S. freight railroads and in passenger and freight rail systems throughout the world; upend decades of meaningful collective bargaining between rail management and rail labor; and undermine the sector’s ability to compete against less climate friendly forms of transportation.

The FRA even went as far to rescind a proposal requiring two people in the cab of a locomotive, concluding that federal crew size regulation is unnecessary. With prior technological advancements, freight railroads and labor unions have reduced crew sizes from five to three to two. These reductions have coincided with safety improvements throughout the industry, particularly for incidents caused by human error. Crew size is not a safety issue. Safety is and always will be a top priority for railroads. There are no data showing two-person crews are safer than one-person crews.

Crew size is not a safety issue.
Collective bargaining maintains safety while allowing railroads to modernize their workforce.
Railroads must be able to innovate and compete.
Content: A ground-based role may enable a more predictable, consistent and higher quality-of-life position, like many other railroad employees, such as signalmen and track maintenance workers. Railroads must be able to innovate and compete. The long-term viability of freight rail depends on the industry’s ability to adapt and compete in a rapidly changing transportation sector. Technology and modern staffing models are making freight railroads safer, more efficient and more productive. Crew size mandates would hinder these gains and divert traffic from rail to trucks, which are less fuel efficient, create congestion and further damage the nation’s highway system. Congress must reject legislative efforts to require at least two people in a train crew and instead encourage innovation. Privately owned freight railroads must be allowed, in partnership with rail labor, to determine operating models most conducive to optimal safety and service performance. Federal prescriptions lacking empirical justification must not be made the law. Railroads are committed to good faith negotiations on issues — including the implementation of new technologies and train operations that maximize safety benefits and efficiencies — with their employees in the forum in which those issues have historically been resolved.

CREST syndrome
CREST syndrome is an acronym for calcinosis, Raynaud’s phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia
CREST syndrome is an acronym for c alcinosis, R aynaud’s phenomenon, e sophageal dysfunction, s clerodactyly, and t elangiectasia. It is a variant of the two groups of scleroderma, localized and systemic. CREST is a relatively stable and slow-moving form of scleroderma and has a much more favorable prognosis than other forms. There is no evidence that the basic process differs from the usual scleroderma, but the tempo of CREST seems to be different in that organ involvement comes slower and later in the course of the disease. « Back to Glossary Index

Disability insurance in your 50s protects what are likely your peak earning years. If you're thinking you need to work the next 10 to 15 years to shore up your retirement, protecting that earnings stream — just in case — is particularly important.

Content: Indeed, a Japanese study published this past March in the Journal of Diabetes Investigation found that when older people in their 60s engaged in low-intensity resistance training twice a week for 16 weeks, they had significant improvements in their blood glucose levels. Benefit No. 3: It can prevent heart disease
Strength training may be even more protective for your ticker than aerobic exercise, according to a study of 4,086 adults presented last November at the American College of Cardiology. Best of all, you don't have to do a lot to see benefits. A study published last year, in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, revealed that less than an hour of weekly resistance exercise reduces risk of developing metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and elevated blood sugar, that raise risk of heart disease) by up to 70 percent. Benefit No. 4: It staves off dementia
Exercise has long been touted for its brain-boosting benefits, but resistance training in particular seems to be protective against MCI, a precursor to dementia. When researchers examined 100 adults between the ages of 55 and 86 with MCI, they found that those who did strength training twice a week showed significant improvement in their cognitive function after an 18-month period, compared with those who didn't.

Many of those have reopened, but they have to provide greater protections for their workers. In Michigan, for instance, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer directed companies to modify their processing lines to minimize the number of employees inside a facility during a shift. The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects food prices to decline next year, as production could return to relatively normal levels. The USDA forecasts a 1.5 to 2.5 percent decrease in the cost of beef and virtually flat egg prices. Easing the price pain
Food is a big part of household budgets, so high prices can upset household finances. To some extent, declines in the cost of other necessities may offset rising food prices. The national average price of a gallon of unleaded gasoline, for example, is $2.187, according to AAA, down from $2.750 a year ago, and most people aren't driving much during the COVID-19 pandemic. Other prices are down, too. “

Content: 29 percent of U.S. households headed by someone age 55 or older have no retirement savings or pension, meaning they’ll have to continue working or rely on Social Security to survive. But if the only job that remains open to them is unskilled and minimum wage, what does their future hold? Older people who don’t feel useful are three times more likely to develop a disability and four times more likely to die prematurely, compared with counterparts who do feel useful, according to a 2007 study published in the Journals of Gerontology. If 30-plus years as a professional are suddenly thoroughly discounted by the business world, the effect on your health and longevity is undeniable. Paradoxically, what most companies do not seem to understand is that older workers possess a depth of knowledge and experience that’s worth paying for, is not easily replaced and can be tapped in many different ways. “People walk out of companies now with an enormous amount of intellectual property in their heads,” says Paul Rupert, the founder and CEO of Respectful Exits, a nonprofit consulting firm that’s raising corporate awareness about age discrimination. “ They know things that are essential to the company’s success, and if that knowledge is not captured and transmitted to the next generation, that company is losing a tremendous chunk of capital and it’ll eventually pay a price.” How did we get to this point? And how can we combat such widespread age discrimination? To answer these questions, the AARP Bulletin asked me to independently examine ageism in the workplace to determine why it is so prevalent and what can be done about it, to provide both a snapshot and a primer on the state of age discrimination in America.

Content: If you’re an older employee, it’s likely you’ll bear your share of age-related comments and jokes. And if you’re gunning for a promotion or heading into a job interview, you may feel compelled to touch up the gray, dress a bit younger and act like technology is your best friend. That’s because ageism in the workplace occurs every day across America, and it is tolerated or — even worse — unrecognized for what it truly is: discrimination, plain and simple. “Age discrimination is so pervasive that people don’t even recognize it’s illegal,” asserts Kristin Alden, an attorney specializing in employee rights at the Alden Law Group in Washington, D.C.
What immediately became apparent in my reporting is that, like other biases and discriminatory practices, ageism takes many forms. In the workplace, we found illegal age discrimination in three main areas: Recruitment and hiring, when younger applicants are shown favor simply because of their age. On-the-job bias, when older workers receive fewer training opportunities, promotions and rewards, or are harassed. Termination, when a company “freshens” its workforce or trims budget by targeting senior employees for layoffs or encouraging them to retire. Paul Rupert, of Respectful Exits, suggests — persuasively — that the problem emanates from our free-enterprise roots.

Religion’s Legal Place in the Schoolhouse
A conservative advocacy group urges close adherence to federal law on student expression and curricular content by Colby M. May
Among the many issues that public school leaders and teachers often deal with is the proper role of religious belief and practice within their schools. The law regarding how the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution applies to the public school context can often seem complex and confusing, with some cases holding that a school improperly endorsed a religious viewpoint and others stating that a school improperly censored religious expression occurring on campus. As an attorney with a conservative organization that works to protect religious and constitutional freedoms, I often am asked to address some of the most common questions and misconceptions regarding religious expression in the public schools. While we are involved in various school-related situations, one general theme seems to arise regularly — the vital distinction between student religious expression on campus and school officials’ endorsement of a religious viewpoint. Keeping this division in mind while addressing particular issues involving religion should help public school leaders, teachers, parents and even students to make sense of this area of law. Constitutional Backing
The First Amendment provides the backdrop for the relationship between religious practice and government conduct. As part of the Bill of Rights, it was designed to ensure that the government would not infringe upon certain inalienable rights of private citizens. Over the years, the U.S. Supreme Court has emphasized how to properly navigate the intersection of the Establishment, Free Exercise and Free Speech clauses of the First Amendment by noting in the landmark 1990 case of Westside Community Board of Education v. Mergens, “There is a crucial difference between government speech endorsing religion, which the Establishment Clause forbids, and private speech endorsing religion, which the Free Speech and Free Exercise clauses protect.” The Supreme Court has held that the First Amendment applies to all federal, state and local government actors, including public schools and their employees. In a landmark 1969 case, Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District, the court noted: “

In a landmark 1969 case, Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District, the court noted: “ First Amendment rights, applied in light of the special characteristics of the school environment, are available to teachers and students. It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” This is why the term “separation of church and state”— which appears nowhere in the Constitution — is a misleading description of what the First Amendment requires. The First Amendment’s protection of the religious expression of private individuals, including public school students, neither permits nor requires public school officials to make their schools “religion-free” zones. In the public school context, the First Amendment dictates official school policies that implicate religion are treated differently than student religious expression.

Content: In other words, a school’s obligation to ensure it does not violate the Establishment Clause does not affect its independent obligation to uphold the free speech rights of students with regard to religious or other expression. On the one hand, the ability of public school teachers to speak freely in the classroom is somewhat limited because public school officials can ensure teachers do not violate the Establishment Clause by endorsing a particular religious viewpoint or requiring students to participate in religious activities. The religious expression of students is private expression fully protected by the First Amendment. A public school may regulate the content of speech when the student’s expression is actually sponsored or encouraged by the school. Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe in 2000 held that school-sponsored prayer at high school football games violated the First Amendment even though it was delivered by a student representing the student body. As noted in Tinker, school officials also can regulate speech when the expression causes an actual disruption in the school’s operation, according to the Tinker case. So long as students conduct themselves in a non-harassing and non-disruptive manner, public schools must allow students to express their religious views on the same terms as they allow other forms of expression. What’s Permissible? An issue public school administrators and teachers often confront is the appropriate role that religion may play during instructional time in the classroom. There is a key difference between “religious activity” or “religious instruction” in the classroom — that is between instructing students that the tenets of one religion are true and should be followed, which is not permitted, and teaching about religion, such as what members of various religions believe, which is permitted.

The U.S. Department of Education explains it this way in its 2003 guidelines, Religious Expression in Public Schools: “ Teachers and school administrators, when acting in those capacities, are representatives of the state and are prohibited by the Establishment Clause from soliciting or encouraging religious activity, and from participating in such activity with students. Teachers and administrators also are prohibited from discouraging activity because of its religious content, and from soliciting or encouraging anti-religious activity.” While the guidelines forbid public school teachers from engaging in religious activity in the classroom, they affirm the Establishment Clause does not mean that religion is strictly forbidden from public schools in all aspects. In Stone v. Graham in 1980, the Supreme Court stated that the matter before it was “not a case in which the Ten Commandments are integrated into the school curriculum, where the Bible may constitutionally be used in an appropriate study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, or the like.”

In this regard, the guidelines state: “ Public schools may not provide religious instruction, but they may teach about religion, including the Bible or other scripture: the history of religion, comparative religion, the Bible (or other scripture) as literature and the role of religion in the history of the United States and other countries all are permissible public school subjects. Similarly, it is permissible to consider religious influences on art, music, literature and social studies.”

Content: Additionally, a federal court ruled in a 2000 case involving a Michigan charter school that teachers may address religious issues in more detail in response to student questions. The bottom line is that religious beliefs and practices may be discussed in the classroom in an academic, non-devotional manner. Theory of Evolution
The issue of what should be taught in public school science classes considering the origins of life and who should make that decision has again become prominent in the public eye. Although a strong majority of Americans have consistently supported the teaching of the strengths and weaknesses of Darwinian evolutionary theory, as well as its limitations, a Pennsylvania district court last December struck down a public school’s requirement that a disclaimer be read in all biology classes before the theory of evolution is discussed. While some observers proclaimed that this decision means that Darwinian theory now must be placed upon an untouchable pedestal in American science classrooms — regardless of any opposing view held by individual science teachers, parents and state and local school boards —that is simply not the case. Many school leaders would be surprised to learn that the Supreme Court said the following about evolutionary theory in Edwards v. Aguillard in 1987: “ We do not imply that a legislature could never require that scientific critiques of prevailing scientific theories be taught. . . . [ T]eaching a variety of scientific theories about the origins of humankind to schoolchildren might be validly done with the clear secular intent of enhancing the effectiveness of science instruction.” In other words, the intent of educators is all-important in considering whether a particular decision relating to evolutionary theory will be upheld by the courts. While the Supreme Court held that a school may teach “a variety of scientific theories about the origins of humankind” if it has the “clear secular intent of enhancing the effectiveness of science instruction,” schools may not alter the content of classroom instruction solely for the purpose of supporting or harming a particular religious view.

There were no significant differences among the four treatment groups; however, there was a trend toward decreased mortality among pigs that received the experimental autogenous vaccine. Overall nursery mortality at the end of the trial had decreased to 3.3%.

Content: The herd had elevated nursery mortality rates in September 1995 that reached 17%. All affected pigs showed signs of meningitis, arthritis, or a combination of these signs. Streptococcus suis serotype 2 was isolated from the brain samples of 12 necropsied pigs submitted at different times to a diagnostic laboratory. Most of the mortality occurred between 3 and 7 weeks after weaning. Clinically affected pigs were injected with ampicillin and/or ceftiofur sodium and put into a sick pen. During the course of the present study, this herd was concurrently infected with PRRSV and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV). A clinical PRRSV outbreak was observed in January 1996, but serology performed in March 1995 had already shown some seropositive pigs. A TGEV outbreak was clinically observed in March 1996 and affected mostly baby and nursery pigs, but no virus isolation was performed. Field vaccine trial
In consultation with the herd owner, a S. suis vaccination program was initiated in November 1995. Because the literature reports inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy of the S. suis vaccines, 4,5,9 we performed a concurrent controlled study in the herd with pigs from only 1 week of production.

Content: Pigs were vaccinated at weaning and revaccinated 10 days later. Pigs with signs of meningitis and/or arthritis were placed in the sick pen and injected with ampicillin (6-8 mg per kg) or ceftiofur sodium (3-5 mg per kg). Morbidity and mortality rate was monitored from the beginning of the trial (at weaning) until the pigs left the nursery (at 9 weeks of age). Statistical analysis
Differences in morbidity and mortality between groups were statistically analyzed using the c-square test. Groups were considered to be statistically significant at P <.05. Posttrial vaccination protocols
Following this controlled trial, the producer adopted a new vaccination protocol that was designed to boost the immune response and protect pigs with different levels of maternal immunity. Starting in late November 1995, piglets were vaccinated with the commercial bacterin IP at 5 days of age, revaccinated IP at weaning (15 days of age), and revaccinated again 10 days later IM. This program was followed in the herd for 6 months. A TGEV outbreak in March 1996 convinced the producer to begin attempts to determine the causes of nursery pig mortality. Thus, after March 1996, the herd records differentiated between total mortality data of pigs and mortality that could be directly attributed to S. suis ( i.e., pigs that exhibited obvious CNS distress, ataxia, tremors, and paddling).

In May 1996, the producer decided to adopt a sow vaccination protocol, which was less expensive, less time consuming, and easier to implement. Sows were vaccinated IM with the commercial bacterin at approximately days 77 and 98 of gestation. Piglets were followed during the nursery stage, and mortality rates were used to evaluate the effectiveness of this protocol. This protocol was still in use at the time of this report. Results
Pigs that received the experimental autogenous vaccine tended to have lower morbidity/mortality ( P <.1) than pigs in the other groups ( Figure 2 ).

Pigs that received the experimental autogenous vaccine tended to have lower morbidity/mortality ( P <.1) than pigs in the other groups ( Figure 2 ). Mortality in the nonvaccinated group was 5.5 % and morbidity was 13%; both were lower than the 17% mortality observed in groups of weaned pigs in the herd previous to the on-farm vaccine trial. Mortality was nonexistent among pigs vaccinated with the commercial vaccine during the first 4 weeks of the experiment, but increased to 10% during the last 2 weeks of the trial. In comparison, mortality rate was 14% for a nearly identical group of pigs that was not vaccinated and that received identical diet and management and was weaned within 1 week of the pigs included in the trial. These pigs were housed in an adjacent room to those included in the trial, and shared the same airspace.

Title: The church bell tower "trapped" in the waters of Lake Resia in Italy - Abandoned Spaces
Headings: The church bell tower “trapped” in the waters of Lake Resia in Italy
The church bell tower “trapped” in the waters of Lake Resia in Italy
Content: The plan included generating electricity for the region, but also submerging of a few towns and villages. That was the unpleasant reality of the new and progressive age of electricity. The old life in the valley died and a new one was born. Lake view with sunken church spire. Author: Markus Bernet – CC BY-SA 2.0
The residents that lived in the valley protested fiercely, but their efforts to stop the project were fruitless. The construction of the dam started in 1940. World War II stopped the construction works for a while and it was finally finished after the war, in July 1950. Thousands of years of history going back to Roman times was lost forever. The entire town of Graun (Curon in Italian), parts of the town of Reschen and the small villages of Arlung, Piz, Gorf, and Stockerhofe disappeared underwater.

The residents that lived in the valley protested fiercely, but their efforts to stop the project were fruitless. The construction of the dam started in 1940.

The entire town of Graun (Curon in Italian), parts of the town of Reschen and the small villages of Arlung, Piz, Gorf, and Stockerhofe disappeared underwater. The bell tower is the only remainder of the town of Graun
Approximately 1290 acres of developed and fertile land were submerged. More than 163 houses were flooded. Today the upper end of the bell tower that appears on the surface of the green-blue water is the only remainder of the old town of Graun and former life in the valley. The lone Romanesque bell tower was part of an old church from the 14th century, which was also flooded with the rest of the buildings when the water was leveled up to 55 feet. The bell tower was built in the 14th century.

Content: 379,011), Belize (Population: 347,380), and Barbados (Population: 283,011). The Caribbean Sea, the southern part of the American Mediterranean between the Antilles, Central America and South America. The Caribbean consists of the Yucatán Basin with the Cayman Basin, the Colombian Basin, the Venezuela Basin and the Grenada Basin. Off the coast of Venezuela are the Bonaire and Cariaco tombs. The Caribbean is connected to the Gulf of Mexico through the Yucatán Canal and to the Atlantic Ocean through the numerous straits between the Antilles. The most important channels for deepwater emergence in the Caribbean are the Windward Passage between Cuba and Haiti, which allows Atlantic deepwater to drain into the Cayman tomb and further through the Yucatán Basin to the Gulf of Mexico and the Anegada-Virgin Passage on the Virgin Islands, which renew the Venezuelan and Colombian Islands. In each strait, the threshold depth is about 1 600 m. Hot surface water from the Atlantic equatorial currents penetrates the Caribbean Sea between the Little Antilles and the strait between Grenada and Trinidad, forming the Caribbean stream, which continues into the Gulf of Mexico. The largest depth, 7,535 m, lies in the Cayman tomb.

Shrimp fishing is most important, but also sardine and menhaden fishing, mainly for the production of fishmeal, and tuna fishing are of great importance. Oil and gas are extracted in Maracaibo in Venezuela and outside Trinidad. The Caribbean is a tropical sea with rich coral reefs. Hurricanes often cause severe material damage and loss of human life.
