He prosecuted Martha Stewart
When lifestyle guru Martha Stewart was indicted in 2003 on a series of charges connected to a dodgy 2000 stock deal, it was Comey who brought the charges. ”This criminal case is about lying – lying to the FBI, lying to the SEC, lying to investors,” Comey, then a US attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at a press conference. ” Martha Stewart is being prosecuted not for who she is, but because of what she did.” Stewart was convicted on all counts in 2004 and sentenced to five months in prison. She served her time and was released in March 2005. He’d investigated the Clintons previously
In fact, the email server probe marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton. Their first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when Comey joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust.

(CNN) —
Why is this happening now?
Does Comey’s decision break with precedent?
How mad are Democrats about Comey’s Friday move?
What does this have to do with Hillary Clinton?
What will happen next?
How will this impact the election?
Content: There’s never been a major party nominee under FBI investigation leading up to the election before. And how it’s being handled is equally out of the ordinary. Comey gave advance notice to top officials at the Justice Department before sending his letter to lawmakers Friday – but he didn’t get sign-off from those officials, and wasn’t seeking it. Instead he made an independent decision to go against longstanding Justice Department and FBI practice to not comment publicly about politically sensitive investigations within 60 days of an election, a law enforcement official said. Comey’s decision adds to the unusual role he has played in the Clinton email probe, which some critics have said usurped the role of prosecutors in the Justice Department whose job is to review FBI findings and make decisions on whether to bring charges. Comey made the unprecedented move in July to publicly announce that he would recommend no charges be brought in the email investigation, saying that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such charges. He made the July announcement without providing prior notice to Justice officials. That was in part because of another extraordinary part of the Clinton email investigation: A tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and Lynch – who, because of that meeting, left decisions on whether to prosecute Clinton to others because of the conflict. The hubris of the 2016 candidates
How mad are Democrats about Comey’s Friday move?

What does this have to do with Hillary Clinton?
What will happen next?
How will this impact the election?
Content: It’ll take a couple days before new polls will show the full impact of the latest revelation. But for Clinton, what’s troubling is that the development gives new life to a story that has fueled voters’ sense that she’s untrustworthy – perhaps her biggest political liability – at exactly the wrong time, as her campaign’s early voting operation is at full stride and with little time left before November 8. It’s clear Clinton’s campaign senses the danger. Her top aides are hardly hiding their frustration – and they’re directing that frustration at Comey. “He might have taken the first step of actually having looked at them (the emails) before he did this in the middle of a presidential campaign, so close to the voting,” Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” Clinton herself weighed in Saturday, questioning Comey’s decision to act so close to the election – and without more information to explain just what the bombshell he dropped actually is. “It’s pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election,” Clinton told supporters in Daytona Beach, Florida, where the crowd booed at the mention of Comey’s letter. “ In fact, it’s not just strange, it’s unprecedented and it’s deeply troubling because voters deserve to get full and complete facts.” Trump, meanwhile, is reveling in Clinton’s political trouble – with his surrogates tamping down their charges of politicization within the Justice Department, and Trump even cracking a joke on Sunday. “We never thought we were going to say thank you to Anthony Weiner,” Trump said at a rally in Las Vegas.

Content: None of them come to me. They would all be to the other side. None of them come to me. But when you look at the people registered, dead, illegal, and two states, and some cases maybe 3 states. We have a lot to look into,” he said. David Becker, the director of the Pew study in question, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Tuesday on “The Situation Room” that “there is absolutely no evidence of voter fraud even approaching (the) scale” suggested by Trump. “I agree completely with the secretaries of state across the country, both Republicans and Democrats, and the National Association of Secretaries of State which is bipartisan, which has said, there is absolutely no evidence of voter fraud even approaching that scale,” he said. “Does voter fraud exist? Yes, it does, in very small numbers. And the election officials around the country are working to investigate and prosecute those dozens of cases that might occur nationwide in an election like this.

But three to five million illegal votes – that would have been discovered not just on Election Day, but well before,” he added. “ Fraudulent registrations, not matching the drivers license numbers and social security numbers, flagged for ID under federal law, extra provisional ballots being cast – all of these things we would have seen, and there was zero evidence of that.” On Tuesday, Spicer vigorously defended Trump’s statement about illegal voters, though neither Trump nor his surrogates could provide evidence that any substantial illegal voting had occurred or influence the popular vote. “I think in terms of registration, where you have got folks on rolls that have been deceased or moved or registered in two counties – this isn’t just about the 2016 election. This is about the integrity of our voting system,” Spicer said Wednesday.

By Brooks Jackson/CNN
Lie number two, alleged by Starr
Lie number three
Content: "That testimony is not credible. At the Jones deposition, the president could not have believed he was telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," the independent counsel wrote to Congress. The president's lawyers said in rebuttal that oral sex "plainly" falls outside the Jones definition. Lie number two, alleged by Starr
Lie number two, according to Starr: It was a one-way relationship. The president seemed to deny kissing Lewinsky's breasts or touching her breast or groin. "So you didn't do any of those three things with Monica Lewinsky?" Clinton was asked. "You are free to infer that my testimony is that I did not have sexual relations, as I understood this term to be defined," Clinton answered. "Including, touching her breast, kissing her breast, or touching her genitalia?"

But Lewinsky testified that the president touched her sexually nine times. "Out of all of the times you had intimate contact, were there times when the president would touch you either on the breasts or in the genital area directly to the skin or was it always though clothing?" prosecutors asked Lewinsky during her sworn grand jury testimony.

He touched her genitals ... bringing her to orgasm on two occasions," Starr wrote.

Clinton's three lies, according to Starr
By Brooks Jackson/CNN
Lie number two, alleged by Starr
Lie number three
Content: The independent counsel claims Lewinsky's version is backed up by testimony from friends and family members who say she told them about the encounters at the time and by a letter Lewinsky drafted to the president referring to sexual touching. "Either Monica Lewinsky lied to the grand jury, or President Clinton lied ... under any rational view of the evidence, the president lied," Starr concluded. The president's lawyers question whether evidence backs up Lewinsky, and say no one can be convicted of perjury just because their testimony conflicts with that of one other witness. Lie number three
Lie number three, Starr says, is implicit, not explicit: The question of when the affair began. "When I was alone with Ms. Lewinsky on certain occasions in early 1996 and once in early 1997, I engaged in conduct that was wrong," Clinton admitted in a prepared statement he read during his grand jury testimony. But Lewinsky testified she first administered oral sex November 15, 1995 and again, two days later. Both encounters happened during the government shutdown, according to Lewinsky. She said the president tugged at her intern credentials saying that could be "a problem." She said only by their third encounter, on the last day of 1995, was she a full member of the White House staff.

Clinton's lawyers call that allegation "frivolous" and said the discrepancy in dates is "an utterly immaterial statement." Overall Clinton's legal team says there is no evidence that the president knowingly gave false testimony; the questions were ambiguous, and even misleading answers can't be perjury if literally true. When Clinton testified, he knew Lewinsky was talking to Starr's prosecutors, and he knew his DNA could match a stain on her dress.

Illegal Immigrants Account for $10.7 Billion of Nation’s Health Care Costs, Data Show
By Matt Cover | July 29, 2009 | 5:57pm EDT
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) (CNSNews.com) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that “illegal immigrants are not covered” in the health care reform legislation that is now working its way through House committees. But when asked about illegal immigrants who go to public hospitals for care, Pelosi told CNN’s State of the Nation on Sunday the law requires that they be treated. The cost of treating illegal aliens amounts to nearly $11 billion a year, according to calculations done by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a non-profit group that opposes illegal immigration. And that cost is not expected to go away if a health insurance reform bill becomes law. “If you’re in this country illegally, should you be able to get health care?” CNN’s John King asked Pelosi. “ No, illegal immigrants are not covered by this plan,” she replied. “And so what happens to a public hospital then, if they walk into the emergency room?

The hospital I was at this week, they said, you know, they do 6,000 births a year there and 70 percent of them are for undocumented [patients],” said King. “I don’t know about that,” said Pelosi. “ But I do know that the law requires that if somebody comes in off the street and needs care, that is extended. What we see in this legislation is that people will have access to affordable health care, and it will diminish the number of people going into those private, public hospitals in the manner in which you described.” According to FAIR’s Director of Special Projects Jack Martin, illegal immigrants cost federal and state governments an estimated $10.7 billion a year in health care spending.

The numbers are contained in a report that FAIR plans to publish in the near future. “The numbers that I’ve been running come up to a total of $10.7 billion a year,” Martin told CNSNews.com. Those costs include the cost of so-called “anchor babies” – babies born to illegal immigrant parents in U.S. hospitals, almost always at taxpayers’ expense. Martin said that he included this cost in his estimate because while the newborns are technically U.S. citizens, taxpayers would never have had to pay their mothers’ medical bills had they not illegally entered the country. “If the illegal immigrants were prevented from coming into the country or were encouraged to leave the country, that cost would disappear,” said Martin. “

Content: “It’s a fairly significant contribution,” Martin said, “it comes out of the pocket of the states for the most part because of the fact that it is not covered by Medicaid. The federal government has had a program of partial reimbursement of those expenses but that hasn’t been renewed [by this Congress]. It didn’t begin to cover those expenses [anyway].” That $10.7 billion is not spread evenly throughout the country, Martin explained, but is borne primarily by states with high populations of illegal aliens -- states such as California, Texas, and Florida. “In terms of locations, it basically flows with where the largest concentration of illegal immigrants are,” said Martin. “ For example, California is the largest and just within the state – not including federal monies – I get that [cost] at $1.6 billion per year.” In fact, state governments bear the heaviest burden for subsidizing the health care of illegal immigrants. Martin said he calculated that, all told, states pay $6.9 billion per year to care for their illegal immigrant populations. “The estimates of the costs that are paid by the states in total run to about $6.9 billion,” he said. “ The difference between that and the over $10 billion figure is the amount that is paid out of federal funds.”

The CIS study did include federal programs for which illegal immigrants are legally barred, such as Medicaid. However, federal funds still flowed their way due to the fact that illegal immigrant parents gain access to federal welfare and health care benefits through their U.S.-born children. According to the CIS study, illegals accounted for 13.1 percent of all federal costs of covering the uninsured in 2004, an estimated $2.2 billion per year. Seventeen percent of households headed by an illegal immigrant were using Medicaid, accounting for 1.7 percent of all Medicaid recipients.

According to the CIS study, illegals accounted for 13.1 percent of all federal costs of covering the uninsured in 2004, an estimated $2.2 billion per year. Seventeen percent of households headed by an illegal immigrant were using Medicaid, accounting for 1.7 percent of all Medicaid recipients. These trends look to continue if President Obama gets his way on health care reform, Martin said, because the legislation currently making its way through Congress would leave “very large” loopholes, loopholes that are not likely to be closed. “The current health care bill is looking as if it is leaving a very large loophole for medical coverage being provided to illegal aliens,” Martin said. “There’s one provision that says they won’t be eligible, but the current legislation as it’s being written does not establish any system of verification as to whether or not a person is legal or illegal.” CNSNews Reader,

Obama Administration: We Can and Will Force Christians to Act Against Their Faith
David and Barbara Green of Hobby Lobby
(CNSNews.com) - In a legal argument formally presented in federal court in the case of Hobby Lobby v. Kathleen Sebelius, the Obama administration is claiming that the First Amendment—which expressly denies the government the authority to prohibit the “free exercise” of religion—nonetheless allows it to force Christians to directly violate their religious beliefs even on a matter that involves the life and death of innocent human beings. Because federal judges—including Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor—have refused to grant an injunction protecting the owners of Hobby Lobby from being forced to act against their Christian faith, those owners will be subject to federal fines of up to $1.3 million per day starting Tuesday for refusing to include abortion-inducing drugs in their employee health plan. The Obama administration is making a two-fold argument for why it can force Christians to act against their faith in complying with the regulation it has issued under the Obamacare law that requires virtually all health care plans to cover, without co-pay, sterilizations, contraceptives, and abortion-inducing drugs. The first argument the administration makes against the owners of Hobby Lobby is that Americans lose their First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion when they form a corporation and engage in commerce. A person’s Christianity, the administration argues, cannot be carried out through activities he engages in through an incorporated business. “Hobby Lobby is a for-profit, secular employer, and a secular entity by definition does not exercise religion,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Stuart Delery in a filing submitted in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma. “Because Hobby Lobby is a secular employer, it is not entitled to the protections of the Free Exercise Clause or RFRA [the Religious Freedom Restoration Act],” Delery told the court on behalf of the administration. “ This is because, although the First Amendment freedoms of speech and association are ‘right [s] enjoyed by religious and secular groups alike,’ the Free Exercise Clause ‘gives special solicitude to the rights of religious organizations.’”

But the members of the family that created and owns Hobby Lobby, because they formed Hobby Lobby as a corporation, have no First Amendment freedom of religion that protects them from being forced by the government to act against their religious beliefs in providing abortion-inducing drugs. The second argument the administration makes to justify forcing Christians to act against their faith is more sweeping. Here the administration argues it can force a person to act against his religion so long as the coercion is done under the authority of a law that is neutral and generally applicable—in other words, as long as the law was not written specifically to persecute Christians as Christians, the government can use that law to persecute Christians. Hobby Lobby is a family business.

Oil-based paints and other petroleum-based products have vapors that are harmful when breathed. These vapors are called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Volatile organic compounds in paints can cause headaches, eye irritation, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. Long-term exposure can lead to more serious health problems like central nervous system, liver, and kidney damage. Paint vapors pose a higher risk for pregnant women, young children, people with respiratory ailments, and individuals with high rates of exposure, such as commercial painters. Some of the solvents in paints that result in high levels of VOCs are ethylene, toluene, xylene, acetone, and methylene chloride. Additives
Additives to paints are another potential health risk. Preservatives and pesticides are added to kill mildew and bacteria.

What Does This Mean? What does it mean that our physical material reality isn’t really physical at all? It could mean a number of things, and concepts such as this cannot be explored if scientists remain within the boundaries of the only perceived world existing, the world we see. Fortunately, many scientists have already taken the leap, and have already questioned the meaning and implications of what we’ve discovered with quantum physics. One of these potential revelations is that “the observer creates the reality.” A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “

Content: It seems it is the Internet that is primarily targeted whenever one party reacts. This sort of struggle between governments and the people is not ending anytime soon, and it can, and may, have huge repercussion with the presence of the Internet in the near future if things escalated. Now, with that being said, and since globalization is pushing us towards a single one-world government, let us apply this small incident of Egypt on a larger scale. What would happen if all citizens were at odds with the governments over power? Similarly, what if the Internet granted citizens unconditional freedom that would threaten the firm grasp governments have over their people? Wouldn’t the Internet be susceptible of being the cost of this struggle for control? Wouldn’t it be, and maybe it is, the battlefield that is at the risk of its own destruction? Weapons by nature inherently bear the seeds of their own destruction, and the Internet is being used as a weapon– a very vulnerable one. No one would care about the survival of the Internet as long as its survival intervenes with one’s own interests. Internet after all is not without enemies.

If the threat does not come from amongst ourselves, it can very well come from the outside. While browsing the Internet we don’t worry about what’s happening in the center of our galaxy or on the surface of the sun. Getting used to seeing the sun rises every morning at a precise and predictable time makes us forget that the earth is actually floating in a violent and brutal universe filled with random comets and asteroids.

Need Help Paying for College? Free Hispanic Grant Offers
The total Hispanic population of the United States now outnumbers that of other minorities, but the percentage of Hispanics that attend college lags behind population numbers. Colleges and universities are actively promoting diversity through minority recruiting efforts that target Hispanic students. By reaching out to Latinos in high school and even middle school, institutions of higher education - especially bachelor’s and graduate level programs, are seeking to increase access for minority students. Scholarships and grants that specifically fund Hispanic higher education provide a leg up for minorities seeking an education beyond high school. Historically, the Hispanic population of the United States has been considered undereducated – due to some significant social and economic anomalies that have kept Hispanic Americans from finding their place in the U.S. system of higher education. The trend is moving in the right direction, with more Hispanics earning college degrees than ever before. Hispanic Students Overcoming Cultural Educational Challenges
Since the early 1990′s, the percentage of Hispanic students moving directly from high school to college has risen dramatically. In 2010 alone, university enrollment among Hispanics spiked, with a 25% increase over the previous year. During the same period, enrollment percentages among white students actually went down.

The increase in Hispanic college students is supported by a parallel trend that has more Hispanics graduating from high school today, than at any time in history. For the first time, colleges and universities now have greater numbers of Hispanic students enrolling than students of African American descent. The economy plays a role too, since the modern job pool requires larger numbers of college educated workers to fill vital employment roles. To access well paying jobs, Hispanic students are embracing higher education through outreach programs that target them for college enrollment. One of the most consistent obstacles for Hispanic students has been a lack of financial resources.

Grants are key components of student financial aid packages, which also include scholarships, loans and work-study roles. Like scholarships, grants involve funds that do not require repayment. Any portion of your college education that can be funded with free money grants goes a long way toward reducing your overall debt load after college.

Content: Lifting weights, Strength Training. How Many Times Should You Train Each Week. STRENGTH TRAINING FREQUENCY
For beginning exercisers, there is research to support recommending strength training three times, two times, or even once per week. The number of strength-training sessions needed to achieve strength gains has to do with two equally important factors that facilitate the strength-building process. The first is progressive resistance exercise to stress the muscles and stimulate physiological adaptations. The second is sufficient recovery time to permit tissue repair and building through protein overcompensation, resulting in larger and stronger muscles. Study one
In 1974, a research study at Pennsylvania State University compared the effects of one, two and three strength-training sessions per week on strength development. All three groups of college-age males completed the same volume of work on a weekly basis, namely, 60 repetitions of the bench press. Subjects who trained once a week performed 12 sets of five repetitions each; subjects who trained twice per week performed six sets of five repetitions each;

All three training groups made significant (p < .05) gains in muscle strength (see Table 1). The subjects who trained once and twice a week had similar strength improvements (24.7 lbs. vs. 22.8 lbs.), which represented about 73 percent as much strength development as the subjects who trained three days per week (32.7 lbs.).

However, because the one-day-per-week exercisers endured such a demanding workout (12 sets of bench presses), this training protocol was not very practical.

Content: College Recruiting Services. The real deal or a scam? We review the NCSA. The results of this study indicate that training only one or two days per week is effective for increasing muscle strength. However, because the one-day-per-week exercisers endured such a demanding workout (12 sets of bench presses), this training protocol was not very practical. Consequently, this exercise frequency was ruled out as a sensible strength-training procedure, and people were not advised to work out only once per week. Study two
In 1996, another study analyzed five years of data from the South Shore YMCA’s, Quincy, Mass., fitness classes (1,132 subjects, average age 51 years). During that time, 716 subjects met on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to complete an eight-week program of strength and endurance exercise, and 416 participants performed the same training program on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effects of twice-a-week and three-times-a-week strength-training sessions on the participants’ body composition. The findings revealed that the three-day-per-week exercisers gained 2.5 pounds of lean muscle weight, and lost 4.6 pounds of fat weight.

The findings revealed that the three-day-per-week exercisers gained 2.5 pounds of lean muscle weight, and lost 4.6 pounds of fat weight. The two-day-per-week exercisers gained 2.2 pounds of lean muscle weight, and lost 4 pounds of fat weight. Surprisingly, the men and women who trained just twice a week experienced 88 percent as much muscle gain and 87 percent as much fat loss as those who trained three times per week (see Table 2). As in the first study, twice-a-week training proved to be a highly productive exercise protocol, even though in this study the Tuesday/Thursday participants performed only two-thirds as much work as the Monday/Wednesday/Friday subjects. The Tuesday/Thursday training program produced significant improvements in both lean and fat weight for these previously sedentary subjects. Because twice-a-week training is more time-efficient than traditional Monday/Wednesday/
Friday exercise programs, it is an excellent alternative for time-pressured individuals who have difficulty fitting strength training into their busy schedules.

Are you ready for the NEXT STEP!
Content: The two-day-per-week exercisers gained 2.2 pounds of lean muscle weight, and lost 4 pounds of fat weight. Surprisingly, the men and women who trained just twice a week experienced 88 percent as much muscle gain and 87 percent as much fat loss as those who trained three times per week (see Table 2). As in the first study, twice-a-week training proved to be a highly productive exercise protocol, even though in this study the Tuesday/Thursday participants performed only two-thirds as much work as the Monday/Wednesday/Friday subjects. The Tuesday/Thursday training program produced significant improvements in both lean and fat weight for these previously sedentary subjects. Because twice-a-week training is more time-efficient than traditional Monday/Wednesday/
Friday exercise programs, it is an excellent alternative for time-pressured individuals who have difficulty fitting strength training into their busy schedules. Other studies have demonstrated similar results, leading to the American College of Sports Medicine’s recommendation to perform strength training two or three non-consecutive days per week.1,3
Study three
Although twice-a-week strength training may be acceptable for most people, a recent survey indicated that many adults may be limited to only one exercise day per week.6 For this reason, another study was conducted to compare the effects of one, two and three brief strength workouts a week on strength development. The subjects in this study were 218 previously sedentary adults and seniors, average age 50 years, who enrolled in a 10-week beginning exercise program. During each training session, the participants performed about 25 minutes of strength training with 12 resistance machines, and about 25 minutes of endurance exercise (treadmill walking or stationary cycling). One hundred and three subjects trained on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 86 subjects trained on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 29 subjects trained only on Saturdays. With respect to strength development, the three-day-per-week exercisers increased 21.2 pounds, the two-day-per-week trainees increased 15.5 pounds, and the one-day-per-week participants increased 15.5 pounds (see Table 3).

All three training frequencies produced significant strength gains. Although they performed only two-thirds as much weekly exercise, the two-day trainees achieved 73 percent as much strength improvement as the three-day trainees. Even more impressive, the one-day trainees also attained 73 percent as much strength development as the three-day trainees, even though they performed only one-third as much weekly exercise. The results of this study with adult and senior subjects were similar to the first study with college students. In both studies, the one-day and two-day trainees made almost identical strength gains, and these were about 73 percent as high as those attained by the three-day trainees.

This is particularly impressive because the research subjects performed only one set of 12 resistance exercises, totaling about 25 minutes of strength training each session. Because better results were attained with three weekly workouts, this is the recommended strength-training frequency for new exercisers. But individuals who cannot commit to a traditional Monday/Wednesday/Friday exercise schedule should do well with two evenly-spaced strength workouts per week. For time-pressured people who have difficulty fitting in two weekly workouts, a single strength-training session every seven days seems to be an effective alternative.

Study four
Recent research has demonstrated that impressive physical benefits can be attained from relatively brief and infrequent strength-training sessions. For example, several studies have shown similar strength gains from single-set and multiple-set training protocols.3 The following study, conducted with young athletes concurrently participating in sports activities, supports the training-frequency findings of the first three studies. This two-part study was conducted with young female figure skaters, who were concurrently spending several hours a week practicing and competing in their sport. Due to school and a heavy on-ice training schedule, the girls were limited to one or two strength-training sessions per week.

Due to school and a heavy on-ice training schedule, the girls were limited to one or two strength-training sessions per week. The younger girls performed one set of 10 strength exercises on child-sized machines, and the older girls performed one set of 10 strength exercises on standard resistance machines. Sixteen girls, with an average age of 10 years, completed the first study, training one or two days per week under the supervision of a personal trainer. As shown in Table 4, these skaters made significant improvements in muscle strength (31 lbs. to 43 lbs.) and vertical jump height (10.2 in.

Content: to 4.85 ft.). The findings from these studies indicate that training just one or two days per week is sufficient stimulus for significant strength development. Unlike the first study, however, these results were obtained with relatively brief and low-volume workouts (one set of 10 exercises every seven days). Consequently, there appears to be little risk of overtraining associated with this strength-training protocol. In fact, for in-season athletes, performing more than one or two strength workouts a week may lead to overtraining. In addition to improving muscle strength and physical performance, the young athletes learned how to properly perform strength exercises during their weekly workouts. After 10 Saturdays of supervised strength training, the girls were fully functional in the exercise facility and capable of training independently. There have been no injuries in any of the training-frequency studies, indicating that one or two strength workouts a week offers a safe and efficient approach to muscle conditioning. Therefore, personal trainers who give clients the option of one- or two-day-per-week strength-training programs can provide practical and productive alternatives to the traditional Monday/Wednesday/Friday exercise schedule. Summary
Based on the findings from these four studies, strength training only one or two days a week is a safe and effective means for attaining significant improvements in muscle strength and body composition.

What is yeast overgrowth? Candida lives naturally in our intestinal tract, until the intestinal ecology becomes toxic, at which point candida multiples at an accelerated rate that causes chronic health consequences and a condition called candidiasis may develop in your body systems. Yeast is a fungus, a microscopic-size parasite-type organism. Candida lives and thrives in a dark, warm, moist environment — specifically in the mouth, digestive tract and vagina. It is a single-cell microorganism that develops feeding tubes called hyphae, which grow directly into the intestinal walls causing them to become porous and allowing toxins and undigested proteins and carbohydrates to flow through the bowel wall, only to be absorbed into the body and the blood stream — clinically known as intestinal permeability, and commonly known as leaky gut syndrome. The fungal toxins created by Candida overgrowth can enter the bloodstream through the bowel wall — the most common toxin is acetaldehyde — a major waste-product of the yeast fungal organism, a poison converted by the liver into alcohol.

What are the consequences of yeast overgrowth? During the growth process of Candida Albicans, toxic materials are emitted and spread throughout the body, producing the following symptoms/disorders: Digestive System — bloating, gas, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, constipation, inability to lose weight, insulin resistance. Nervous System — chronic fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, memory loss, brain-fog, depression and chronic insomnia. In children, hyperactivity, autism, quick anger "short fuse," and short attention span.

Oppression
The
fourth
way
oppression
works
is
within
the
groups
of
people
who
suffer
the
most
from
the
mistreatment. Oppressed
people
internalize
the
ideology
of
inferiority,
they
see
it
reflected
in
the
institutions,
they
experience
disrespect
interpersonally
from
members
of
the
dominant
group,
and
they
eventually
come
to
internalize
the
negative
messages
about
themselves. If
we
have
been
told
we
are
stupid,
worthless,
abnormal,
and
have
been
treated
as
if
we
were
all
our
lives,
then
it
is
not
surprising
that
we
would
come
to
believe
it. This
makes
us
feel
bad. Oppression
always
begins
from
outside
the
oppressed
group,
but
by
the
time
it
gets
internalized,
the
external
oppression
need
hardly
be
felt
for
the

to
be
done. If
people
from
the
oppressed
group
feel
bad
about
themselves,
and
because
of
the
nature
of
the
system,
do
not
have
the
power
to
direct
those
feelings
back
toward
the
dominant
group
without
receiving
more
blows,
then
there
are
only
two
places
to
dump
those
feelings--on
oneself
and
on
the
people
in
the
same
group. Thus,
people
in
any
target
group
have
to
struggle
hard
to
keep
from
feeling
heavy
feelings
of
powerlessness
or
despair. They
often
tend
to
put
themselves
and
others
down,
in
ways
that
mirror
the
oppressive
messages
they
have
gotten
all
their
lives. Acting
out
internalized
oppression
runs
the

from
passive
powerlessness
to
violent
aggression.

What Can We Do About Global Warming?
Content: Rising ocean temperature causes rising sea level from thermal expansion of the water. Rising temperature also means melting glaciers and rising sea level through addition of meltwater to the oceans. Sea level rose about 1 foot during the last century, mostly from thermal expansion of the oceans. Sea level is expected to rise closer to 3 feet during the coming century. Rising sea level will cause increasing coastal erosion, flooding, and property damage during coastal storms on top of the potential for major loss of life from storms in low-lying coastal countries like Bangladesh and island nations in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Warmer sea surface temperatures will result in more and stronger tropical storms (hurricanes and typhoons). Coastlines already ravaged by these storms will expect to see more strong storms than before, increasing the loss of life and damage to infrastructure. It is much more difficult to predict how regional and local weather patterns will change but there will certainly be changes. While higher temperatures will produce more rainfall across the globe, the regional rainfall patterns will likely change. Some areas will get more, some areas will get less.

The Columbia University Campus
Content: The construction of South Hall (later renamed Butler Library)
Research into the atom by faculty members I. I. Rabi, Enrico Fermi, and Polykarp Kusch brought Columbia's Department of Physics to international prominence in the 1940s. The founding of the School of International Affairs (now the School of International and Public Affairs) in 1946 marked the beginning of intensive growth in international relations as a major scholarly focus of the University. The oral-history movement in the United States was launched at Columbia in 1948. Columbia celebrated its bicentennial in 1954 during a period of steady expansion. This growth mandated a major campus building program in the 1960s, and, by the end of the decade, five of the University's schools were housed in new buildings. It was also in the 1960s that Columbia experienced the most significant crisis in its history. Currents of unrest sweeping the country—among them opposition to the Vietnam War, an increasingly militant civil rights movement, and the ongoing decline of America's inner cities—converged with particular force at Columbia, casting the Morningside campus into the national spotlight. More than 1,000 protesting students occupied five buildings in the last week of April 1968, effectively shutting down the University until they were forcibly removed by the New York City police. Those events led directly to the cancellation of a proposed gym in Morningside Park, the cessation of certain classified research projects on campus, the retirement of President Grayson Kirk, and a downturn in the University's finances and morale. They also led to the creation of the University Senate, in which faculty, students, and alumni acquired a larger voice in University affairs.

In recent decades, Columbia's campuses have seen a revival of spirit and energy that have been truly momentous. Under the leadership of President Michael Sovern, the 1980s saw the completion of important new facilities, and the pace intensified after George Rupp became president in 1993. A 650-million-dollar building program begun in 1994 provided the impetus for a wide range of projects, including the complete renovation of Furnald Hall and athletics facilities on campus and at Baker Field, the wiring of the campus for Internet and wireless access, the rebuilding of Dodge Hall for the School of the Arts, the construction of new facilities for the Schools of Law and Business, the renovation of Butler Library, and the creation of the Philip L. Milstein Family College Library. The University also continued to develop the Audubon Biotechnology and Research Park, securing Columbia's place at the forefront of medical research. As New York City's only university-related research park, it also is contributing to economic growth through the creation of private-sector research collaborations and the generation of new biomedically related business.

Title: Sea Level

Sea Level
Content: Sea Level
Sea Level
Sea level change is an important climate diagnostic. However, interpretation of the moderate rate of sea level rise of the past century is complicated by the fact that several competing processes contribute to net sea level change. The most important processes are melting of land ice (the large ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica and mountain glaciers) and thermal expansion of ocean water as the ocean warms. Storage of water behind dams and depletion of groundwater aquifers also affect sea level. Over the past 5000 years the average rate of sea level rise was much less than 1 meter per millennium (1 mm/year), as shown by geologic markers on coastlines. In the past century tide gauges at coastal cities reveal a larger rate of sea level rise. The second chart below shows that sea level rose about 2 mm/year during 1920-2000. Satellites began to measure sea level precisely in 1993. Since then sea level has been rising about 3.2 mm/year. This rate is equal to just over one foot per century.

Content: Similar effects have been observed in Australia as well (Australian Academy of Science). SST Changes
The desiccation of the Aral Sea has been accompanied by the change in the Sea Surface Temperature. We see that the summer SSTs have been increasing, while winter SSTs have been decreasing (Zavialov 2005). This is expected because as the sea looses volume, it's heat capacity is reduced, therefore it can warm up and cool off faster than before. The day to night variations in SSTs, which are responsible for the sea breezes, have also increased. In a sense, Aral sea has started to exhibit a monsoon climate, which is characterized by seasonal climate change due to warming & cooling of the sea. The desiccation period was also characterized by less ice covering of the sea (Zavialov 2005). This can be explained by the fact that increased salt concentration lowers the freezing point of water; therefore the temperature would now need to be lower for the water to turn into ice. Desertification
The Aral Sea region experienced significant desertification during the desiccation period.

Desertification
The Aral Sea region experienced significant desertification during the desiccation period. The desertification is characterized by degradation of the land and natural resources to the point that they can no longer be used. Several factors influence the desertification, including the decline in the groundwater level. By cutting off water supply to a region, the hydrological balance of the area becomes offset as more water leaves the region than is coming into the region. Frequent low-water periods contributed to the shortfall of needed resources for vegetation. The decline in the groundwater level in the Amudarya and Syrdarya deltas contributed to the piling up of salt at the surface.

All of them together, behind locked doors, with a unified vision, issuing demands: Columbia must end construction of a gymnasium in nearby Morningside Park (public parkland situated within a primarily black neighborhood – “Gym Crow Must Go!”) and disaffiliate with the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), which is conducting weapons research for the Department of Defense and so connects Columbia to war in Vietnam. Immediately are opened up, and made crystal clear, the schisms that have long existed on campus. As Columbia’s unresponsive administration – controlled by businessmen-trustees and overseen by a dithering president – attempts to defuse the situation, as faculty meet and discuss the issues, as undergraduates opposed to the occupiers mobilize a raging reaction to their classmates’ rebellion, hundreds of New York police officers are assembling. After six days, with neither side leaning toward compromise, with no hope of reconciliation, law enforcement remove the protesters – more than seven hundred, of whom nearly two hundred are not Columbia students – from their makeshift, self-governing communes, one of which is held exclusively by black students.

Content: Columbia must end construction of a gymnasium in nearby Morningside Park (public parkland situated within a primarily black neighborhood – “Gym Crow Must Go!”) and disaffiliate with the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), which is conducting weapons research for the Department of Defense and so connects Columbia to war in Vietnam. Immediately are opened up, and made crystal clear, the schisms that have long existed on campus. As Columbia’s unresponsive administration – controlled by businessmen-trustees and overseen by a dithering president – attempts to defuse the situation, as faculty meet and discuss the issues, as undergraduates opposed to the occupiers mobilize a raging reaction to their classmates’ rebellion, hundreds of New York police officers are assembling. After six days, with neither side leaning toward compromise, with no hope of reconciliation, law enforcement remove the protesters – more than seven hundred, of whom nearly two hundred are not Columbia students – from their makeshift, self-governing communes, one of which is held exclusively by black students. The “bust” has a clarifying effect on many who otherwise would have paid little attention to the world of politics around them. Students who had sidestepped the protests, who never would have thought of involving themselves in disruption of any kind, are galvanized, and a fresh wave of turmoil surges across Columbia, helping to set in motion similar actions at colleges and universities – public, private, rural, urban – across the United States. The social and political issues that had energized the campus and the student protest movement for years reflected a formidable and transformative populist uprising that was engulfing whole swathes of the nation, even the globe – a rejoinder to the perceived inadequacies of mainstream institutions and politics. By 1968, in the shadow of a war that was pulling in hundreds of thousands of young American men, and only three weeks after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Columbia University – so close to the center of the world’s media industries and even closer to the African American community of West Harlem – became one place where the academy’s plight during the Vietnam quagmire, and the culture wars of the era, were conspicuously played out. At the core of any Columbia ’68 narrative must be the students behind the inciting incident, to whom everyone else responded.

At the core of any Columbia ’68 narrative must be the students behind the inciting incident, to whom everyone else responded. In their stories, we learn about the disillusionment of male undergraduates at Columbia College, the pent-up frustrations, the persistent and earnest activism, and the spontaneous occupation of five buildings by what student leader Mark Rudd described as a “motley mob.” Here was a ragtag collection of disaffected constituencies, a crowd – passionate, polemical, and reliant on instinct—with diverse political commitments but commonality of purpose, brought together by circumstance and a series of improvisational encounters, with a more or less group-centered leadership. Each occupied building quickly developed its own personality, drawing in a particular kind of activist. Low, Avery, Mathematics, and Fayerweather became dynamic enclaves packed with hundreds of undergraduates and graduate students, holed up side-by-side with a host of sympathetic outsiders who suspected that Columbia would prove fertile recruiting ground for action on the streets beyond campus. Of vital importance, too often forgotten today, or more likely simply unknown, was the fact that Hamilton Hall was held by a group of contemplative, disciplined black Columbia students who proved to be the strategic and moral centrifuge of the protests.

By 1968, it was clear that students were becoming a vital and effective political force and that inflexible university administrators across the nation would be unwise to ignore calls for change. Demands from students to become part of the decision-making processes were thunderous, with “relevance” a new watchword when it came to curriculum reform. But change could come only if workable channels of communications and possibilities for meaningful dialogue existed, and many vocal students felt that those who ruled Columbia had constructed a paternalistic, archaic culture of opaqueness.

Title: Comparing Adaptive and Maladaptive Behavior Problems Scales
Headings:
Scales Compared
Content: Behavior problems are much more difficult to quantify than adaptive behaviors are, because they are not very developmental and because their expression varies more from day-to-day and from setting-to-setting. Behavior problems do not increase or decrease steadily with age. Nevertheless they can be measured reliably. The purpose of measuring adaptive and maladaptive behavior is usually either for diagnosis or for program planning. The diagnosis of mental retardation, for example, requires deficits in both cognitive ability and adaptive behavior, occuring before age 18. Adaptive behavior assessment is also used to determine the type and amount of special assistance that people with disabilities may need. This assistance might be in the form of home-based support services for infants and children and their families, special education and vocational training for young people, and supported work or special living arrangements such as personal care attendants, group homes, or nursing homes for adults. Adaptive behavior assessments are often used in preschool and special education programs for determining eligibility, for program planning, and for assessing outcomes. Standardization is the process of developing a test that reliably and validly measures a specific dimension of behavior. It involves trying out items and analyzing them;

It also involves developing standard testing procedures and materials. The result should be a test that reliably measures the same thing the same way each time, so that scores are comparable. A standardized test should also demonstrate validity, meaning that it actually measures what it portends to measure. A test score should correlate with something in the real world.

3 Reasons Why Employees Are Frustrated & 3 Things You Can Do about It
Content: Trust the people you’ve invested in to do the job you hired and trained them to do. Yes, supervise their activities, but be sure you’re not instituting “processes” for the sake of processes. 2) Spend the cash and hire people already. If your organization is sitting on a huge cash reserve as a hedge against a double-dip recession, you’re inadvertently contributing to that eventuality. Notice how overworked and stressed your employees are. Help them out already and loosen the purse strings. Hire the talent you know you need to grow while giving your current staff room to breathe and refocus their efforts and skills where they can truly excel. 3) Eliminate ridiculous bonus structures and bring compensation (at all levels) into alignment. Sure, I know this won’t happen overnight. But someone has to start somewhere.

The 10 Best Track Spikes for Sprinters

In a sport where a fraction of a second could mean the difference between first and third place, runners need all the help they can get from their shoes to perform at top speed on the track. With Track & Field being such a global phenomenon, it's no surprise that footwear brands offer a wide range of track spikes for athletes to choose from. But the truth of the matter remains that choosing isn't always that easy. While they may all look the same to the untrained eye, track spikes come in a variety of shapes and fits depending on distance. If you're a long distance runner, you'll want a flat, more durable spike that can go the distance (literally). However, sprinting is all about going short distances in the fastest time possible. This means sprint spikes need a more aggressive profile that can handle tremendous stress as you shoot out of the blocks towards that finish tape.

What functional assessment covers
Functional assessment practices consider differences in cognition, communication, sensory abilities (sight, hearing) and mobility. Rather than simply asking people questions about their educational history or contact with disability-related support services, or whether they can perform a specific skill related to cognitive functioning, it's better to ask them to demonstrate a particular skill. In other words, you assess what a person 'does do', rather than what they 'can do'. Functional assessment shifts the focus from the cause of disability or cognitive impairment to the impact of the condition. It's important to distinguish between capacity limitations that result directly from a person's health status and those limitations in which a person's participation is restricted due to environmental factors, including their physical environment and social circumstances ( World Health Organization 2003 ). The World Health Organization lists a number of activity and participation domains in its Checklist for International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health ( World Health Organization 2003) that should be considered in functional assessments.

The I-CAN (Instrument for Classification and Assessment of Support Needs) was developed to assess and classify the support needs of adults (16 years plus) with diverse disabilities in residential and respite settings, but its use has been expanded to mental health and rehabilitation programs. It emphasises support needs rather than deficits and considers health, wellbeing and activities of daily life. The assessment produces a written psychological report which can be used to inform, guide and improve the individual support plan. Where an intellectual disability has been identified, the tool takes approximately 70 minutes to administer, but applications in mental health settings show a shorter length of time, and Version 5 (currently under development) will include a brief version which is being trialled at 30 minutes. Training in the I-CAN is required, and is available through the Centre for Disability Studies, University of Sydney ( www.i-can.org.au ).The cost to an organisation is $550 sign-up fee plus $22 per assessment. The Scales of Independent Behaviour - Revised (SIB-R) is a comprehensive, norm-referenced assessment of adaptive and maladaptive behaviour designed to establish the type and amount of special assistance needed by people with cognitive disabilities.

Content: This is one way that after completing study, he can advance from his position to a more rewarding one. This is especially helpful for entry and low level employees hoping to advance within their company. Depending on how technologically advanced a student's workplace is, he can either try to advance to a position that is already exists, or recommend to an employer various steps he could take to make creating a new position a productive and cost-effective option. Since many smaller businesses aren't advanced enough to have on-site tech support, a worker could try to help modernize his workplace. The time and money that the employer could save by having a more efficient computer system and not having to look to outside help to maintain his system could be significant. A student who gains skill in creating and installing customized programs can also see advancement in the workplace. Businesses spend large amounts of money purchasing, upgrading, and licensing software for use on their company's computers. If an employee is able to create and maintain software that is useful to the business, then the business can save large amounts of money and can advance that employee's role to that of software administration and support. The employer would no longer need to research and purchase expensive software. Also, the software the business uses could be customized to meet the business’ specific needs, which would lead to greater productivity.

If you have not yet heard the term "business architect", you soon will, write John Rymer and Alexander Peters of Forrester Research. Whether business architects report into the business or IT, this emerging role will help usher in organisations' transition from IT to business technology (BT). Working with the firm's most senior business process executive - the change agent - and senior business stakeholders, the business architect plays a key part in shaping and fostering continuous improvement and business transformation initiatives. No matter what the industry, business process professionals need an effective architecture for the business process management (BPM) projects that make up the business change programme. Working as the right hand of the business process change agent, the business architect takes the lead in developing that architecture. The business architect fleshes out the business model - often referred to as the target operating model - describing the need for business technology (BT) across the organisation and the role that process plays. Business architects typically have deep business knowledge, essential for today's BPM transformation initiatives.

Business architects must not only see the big picture when looking across multiple process improvement initiatives, they must also have business strategy talents, wide-ranging process discipline skills in methodologies such as Lean and Six Sigma, and technology know-how.

Forrester believes that the business architect role is vital to organisations pursuing BPM programmes. These programmes are not only seeking to improve and transform cross-functional processes, but also to attempt to control the complexity that increasingly sophisticated technologies introduce and capitalise on relationships with customers and suppliers. In the survey Forrester carried out for this research, we found that organisations that were transforming their businesses, processes and information systems needed the business architect role most acutely. Recognising the need for a business architect
What is not obvious to many who are still relatively new to the business process transformation scene is how this crucial position should be organised, who should occupy it, and what business architects should do. Our research also indicates that only a handful of firms are consistently trying to fill this role, in part because it is so difficult to fill - although business process professionals lead the way in bringing business architects into process transformation initiatives.

Some 35% of organisations have not established the business architect role (level 1), 33% have developed some business architecture guidelines but do not use them across the organisation (level 2), and 20% have defined a consistent architecture framework for business processes (level 3). But only 6% of organisations use this framework to fuel the organisation's portfolio of business services for prioritising business process change investments (level 4); a further 6% see business architecture as a strategic capability for decision-making (level 5).

Alignment within the organisation, bringing together business strategy and capabilities to drive results and/or transformation, is key to this approach.

We do see a third way to fill the need for a business architect: Charter the position as a management or executive function accountable to the senior business process executive for getting things done, rather than just advising others on what to do. Independent role for business architects
So where should the business architect executive fit into the organisation? Our research suggests that many organisations try to leave their existing organisational structures in place without giving their business architects a strong independent role.

The best reporting relationship is to the change agent - the chief process officer, senior executive for business process transformation, senior executive for continuous improvement, or a similar title. The business architect should also set the direction for operations leaders. To execute a transformation vision, the business architect executive must rely on the actions of business unit executives and managers, heads of profit and loss and cost centre units, and other business process owners.

ACLU: Orwellian Citizen Score, China's credit score system, is a warning for Americans
In China, every citizen is being assigned a credit score that drops if a person buys and plays video games, or posts political comments online “without prior permission," or even if social media "friends" do so. The ACLU said the credit rating system, an Orwellian nightmare, should serve as a warning to Americans.

Content: Big data is sucking in everything about citizens as algorithms evaluate that data, but the Chinese government is leveraging that data and “ smart data ” analysis that “reveals even casual relationships” in order to create a comprehensive credit score system which “ determines your opportunities for life .” Yes the score does measure the ability to pay, but “this is the most staggering, publicly announced, scaled use of big data I've ever seen,” said Silicon Valley entrepreneur Michael Fertik; he is also the author of The Reputation Economy. “ It certainly feels about as Orwellian as your nightmares would have it be.” The new “ social credit system ” is linked to 1.3 billion Chinese citizens’ national ID cards, scoring them on their behavior and the “activities of friends in your social graph—the people you identify as friends on social media.” Citizens’ credit scores, or “Citizen Scores,” are affected by their own political opinions and the political opinions of their friends as well. The system leverages “all the tools of the information age—electronic purchasing data, social networks, algorithmic sorting—to construct the ultimate tool of social control,” according to Jay Stanley, Senior Policy Analyst for the ACLU Speech, Privacy & Technology Project. The new Chinese credit score will be mandatory by 2020, but citizens can currently track their score via a free “ Sesame Credit ” app. China Internet Watch
A citizen’s status, or credit score that ranges from 350 to 950, is available for everyone to view via Credit China. Citizens with higher scores are rewarded;

Content: “With the help of the latest internet technologies the government wants to exercise individual surveillance,” stated Rogier Creemers, a Belgian China-specialist at Oxford University. “ Government and big internet companies in China can exploit ‘Big Data’ together in a way that is unimaginable in the West.” [ Prepare to become a Certified Information Security Systems Professional with this comprehensive online course from PluralSight. Now offering a 10-day free trial! ] A citizen’s credit score can be hurt by buying video games, posting political comments without obtaining prior permission, “talking about or describing a different history than the official one, or even publishing accurate up-to-date news from the Shanghai stock market collapse (which was and is embarrassing to the Chinese regime).” Pirate Party Founder Rick Falkvinge added: But the kicker is that if any of your friends do this — publish opinions without prior permission, or report accurate but embarrassing news — your score will also deteriorate. And this will have a direct impact on your quality of life. Alibaba, a shopping site, and the social network Tencent, which are the companies running all the social networks in China, will be running the system; the companies have access “to a vast amount of data about people’s social ties and activities and what they say.”

Historian Kevin Starr in his grand seven-volume history of the state has explored in great depth the "California Dream"—the realization by ordinary Californians of the American Dream. California starting in the late 19th century promised the highest possible standard of life for the middle classes, and indeed for the skilled blue collar workers and farm owners as well. It was not so much the upper class (who preferred to live in New York and Boston). The California Dream meant an improved and more affordable family life:

Content: This vision of French republicanism dictated that the participation of all citizens in the government would create a “general will” which would dictate policy and law. Unfortunately, the French Revolution deteriorated after 1793 with the execution of King Louis XVI and the emergence of Maximilien Robespierre and other hardliners in the French Assembly. Rousseau's famous lines in his work state that "whoever refuses to obey the general will shall be compelled to do so by the whole body. This means nothing less than that he will be forced to be free." Robespierre took this quite literally to build a homogeneous state and restore order to the nation. There were many dissenters who only joined the revolutionary cause to lower taxes and were unhappy with radical social reform. Thus the Reign of Terror began and the French Republic deteriorated into arguably the world's first totalitarian regime. The ascension of Napoleon to power marked a restoration of order and a more conservative movement. Leaders
Intellectually the Enlightenment was identified with the French " philosophes " who aggressively spread the new gospel of reason. They were a brilliant collection of scientists, philosophers and writers including Voltaire, Montesquieu, Holbach, Condorcet, Denis Diderot, Buffon, Turgot and Jean-Jacques Rousseau in France.

The Labour Party is a British Social Democratic political party. The party still pays lip service to many typical left-wing values and, along with all the main political parties in the UK, is pro-abortion, pro-homosexual "rights" and pro- gun control. Typically the Labour Party is in favour of greater spending on public services via higher taxation relative to its main political rivals. The Labour Party was founded in 1900, and currently forms Her Majesty's Opposition, being the largest party in the UK not currently in government. The new leader since April 2020 is Keir Starmer. The Labour Party holds non-voting observer status in the Socialist International. Contents

Chief amongst them the were the Trades Union Congress, the Fabian Society, and the Independent Labour Party. The group took the name Labour Representation Committee, later adopting the name Labour Party after achieving seats in the House of Commons at the 1906 election. Much of the intellectual energy came from the Fabians, an informal group of intellectual socialists. Keir Hardie was the first leader of the party. The rise of Marxist socialism in the late 19th century in the Social Democratic Federation (SDF) (1881-1911) did not create a militantly atheistic and anti-religious force. From its beginnings, circa 1881, the SDF contained Christian socialists, non-Christians, and anti-Christians. These groups generally coexisted in a state of compromise.

Content: The party did not have an outright majority, and in fact only had about one third of the total seats within the House. After just nine months the Party lost an important vote, and the government resigned. Four days before the election the Daily Mail published the " Zinoviev Letter ", a forgery that seemed to indicate that the Communist Party of Great Britain was planning subversion or even a violent revolution in cooperation with Labour. The letter was leaked by the Foreign Ministry. The Labour Party was badly defeated in the 1924 general election, even though its vote increased by one million. The Conservative vote was up by two million as the Liberal party was rapidly collapsing. Historians agree the Zinoviev Letter was a forgery but their consensus is that it made little difference in the election. What is more important, after the election Labour leaders used it as an excuse for their failure; it became a roadblock to needed internal reforms in the Labour party. Despite the deliberate appeal to middle class voters in this 1929 poster, most Labour voters were working class blokes who did not wear white collars and ties.

The Labour Party briefly formed a government again in 1929, but this did not survive the effects of the Great Depression. In a dispute over the best way to handle the economic consequences of the global financial crash, the Party leadership fractured. A new "National Government" drawn from all parties was formed, with Ramsay MacDonald still as Prime Minister. However this was dominated by the other parties, particularly the Conservatives, who went on to dominate the British political scene for the rest of the interwar period. Victory in 1945
The Second World War saw a major shift in political attitudes within Britain, and led to a landslide victory for Clement Attlee in 1945.

The Second World War saw a major shift in political attitudes within Britain, and led to a landslide victory for Clement Attlee in 1945. The modest, unassuming intellectual Attlee named a cabinet that included all elements of the party. Of 37 ministers, eight were former coal miners, and eleven had been active trade unionists. This government introduced sweeping reforms of industry and the creation of the welfare state. Attlee's government nationalised major industries, founded the National Health Service, and developed the idea of welfare from cradle to grave paid for out of taxation and available to everyone free of charge. Much of the welfare state is still in force today.

Content: The Labour government was fiercely anti-Communist, but the economy was so weak it had to relinquish a leadership role to the United States. Despite not having much of a personal relationship, Atlee pushed President Harry Truman to take over Britain's historic roles, especially in Greece, and indeed helped push the U.S. into the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Ernest Bevin, the foreign secretary, was instrumental in setting up NATO . Although it won the first General Election in 1951, Clement Atlee did not believe he had a large enough parliamentary majority to continue his radical reforms so he called a second election. However, he timed it badly, as James Callaghan did in 1979, so his party lost. The Labour Party spent the next 13 years out of office and achieved little during the governments of Wilson (1964-1970 and 1974-1976) and his successor James Callaghan (1976–79), although Denis Healey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, started adopting broadly monetary policies from 1976 on.. Their failures set the stage for the renewal of British energy and leadership under Margaret Thatcher, beginning in 1979. Socialism
Despite its historic commitment to socialism, the British Labour Party has been flexible and reformist in its doctrine ever since it was founded in 1900. After the crisis of 1931, the party adopted a broadly social democratic program in which socialism was linked with the idea of economic planning and social welfare. The Attlee government of 1945-51 was very moderate in its commitment to socialism. The years of opposition saw violent arguments in the party between left-wing Bevanites and the center-right supporters of Hugh Gaitskell.

Massachusetts Bay Colony (not to be confused with the nearby Plymouth Colony) was founded in Boston in 1630 by English Puritans .The name "Massachusetts" came from the Algonquian Indian word that means "a big hill place." The Puritans wished to set up a religious society away from England. The Puritans were members of the Anglican Church who were dissenting against the new Catholic monarchs and the influence of the Pope in the Church of England. The Puritans were influenced by John Calvin. The colony was a theocracy. John Winthrop was the colony's first Governor. The Puritans did not tolerate other religious views. Quakers, Baptists, Catholics, and Jews were hanged in Boston. Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson were forced from the colony due to dissenting political beliefs.
