Content: This year we wanted to usher in the holidays with a purity of design that welcomes all of our stories." Some customers, however, were not pleased. Joshua Feuerstein shared a video on his Facebook page where he said "political correct-ness" had prompted Starbucks to "take Christ and Christmas off their cups." He started a "movement" to go into Starbucks and say your name is "Merry Christmas," so that employees were forced to write that on the cups. The video went viral, and Feuerstein told CNN, "I think Starbucks has gotten the message that the Christian majority in this country has awakened and are demanding that our voice be heard." Much social media backlash ensued, with many backing Feuerstein, and many defending Starbucks. Even then-presidential candidate Donald Trump weighed in on the issue, saying "I have one of the most successful Starbucks, in Trump Tower. Maybe we should boycott Starbucks? I don't know. Seriously, I don't care... If I become president, we're all going to be saying Merry Christmas again, that I can tell you."

In November 2016, Starbucks made a big statement when they released their new "Green Unity Cup." The cup was meant to symbolize unity before the 2016 election. It was designed by artist Shogo Ota, and featured hundreds of different types of people, drawn in one continuous line. In a statement, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz wrote, "The green cup and the design represent the connections Starbucks has as a community with its partners (employees) and customers. During a divisive time in our country, Starbucks wanted to create a symbol of unity as a reminder of our shared values, and the need to be good to each other."

The holiday cup controversy didn't stop in 2016. The following year, a more festive, holiday-inspired design still incited backlash after Buzzfeed News wrote an article about how the design was "totally gay."

The following year, a more festive, holiday-inspired design still incited backlash after Buzzfeed News wrote an article about how the design was "totally gay." The outlet reported that many social media users felt that the design, which featured two hands being held, was an image of two same-sex hands, with most posters agreeing that they were two women. Starbucks did not confirm or deny that the hand-holders were of the same sex, but released a statement saying, "Each year during the holidays we aim to bring our customers an experience that inspires the spirit of the season, and we will continue to embrace and welcome customers from all backgrounds and religions in our stores around the world." The New York Times reported that many customers were furious over the fact that the hand holding might be between a gay or lesbian couple. Conservative site The Blaze wrote a blog post about how the company was being celebrated for pushing a "gay agenda." Overall, it was just another holiday cup controversy.

In January 2017, Schultz released an official statement announcing that Starbucks would be hiring refugees after President Donald Trump issued an executive order that banned people from several Muslim countries from entering the United States. He wrote, "We have a long history of hiring young people looking for opportunities and a pathway to a new life around the world... There are more than 65 million citizens of the world recognized as refugees by the United Nations, and we are developing plans to hire 10,000 of them over five years in the 75 countries around the world where Starbucks does business." The decision quickly resulted in a lot of social media backlash. Fortune reported that the hashtag #BoycottStarbucks was the highest trending topic on Twitter the morning after the announcement was made. Some Twitter users were furious by the company's decision, saying things like "What about us?"

Instagram
If there's one sugary sweet latte Starbucks is most known for, it's the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte that rolls around every year. At first, it seemed that the famed PSL could do no wrong: it was a fall favorite with a cult-like following. But in 2015, controversial food blogger Vani Hari, also known as Food Babe, wrote a post revealing there was no actual pumpkin in the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.

By Joel Stice / Dec. 13, 2019 4:56 pm EDT
People have been altering foods for years to meet both nutritional demands and visual appeal. In fact, many foods looked totally different a few centuries ago when compared with their modern versions. This can be a tiresome process full of trial and error and sometimes the result isn't really all that superior and the price of the food only becomes more expensive. A perfect example of this is the cubed watermelon. Cubed or square watermelons first emerged in Japan in the late 1970s, but have now become a novelty item in many other parts of the world (via What About Watermelon ). Watermelons, of course, don't naturally grow square and aside from a visual appeal, the only real advantage to a cubed one is that it's not going to roll off the counter and break on the floor. If you'd like to pick up one of these odd fruits, you'll need to be ready to pay a hefty price. Square watermelons require a lot of work

A square watermelon can cost you up to $200, depending on the size (via CTV News ), though most hover in the $100 range. For a lot of people, that's a ridiculous price to pay for a fruit that doesn't taste any better — and some even say taste worse — than its round counterpart, so why are they so expensive? The high price tag is because growing these novelty fruits is pretty labor-intensive.

Critical Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common birth-related malformation. 1 Critical CHDs (CCHDs) are life threatening and account for nearly 25% of all CHDs. 2 Babies sent home with an undetected heart defect are at risk of serious complications within the first few days or weeks of life, requiring emergency care, 3 and even at risk of dying. CCHD Screening with Pulse Oximetry
Traditionally, following birth, newborns were observed for evidence of CHDs by physical assessment and monitoring for common symptoms. 1 Today, studies show that these methods alone can be unreliable and may fail to detect up to 36% of infants with CCHD before discharge. 4,5 Adding screening with pulse oximetry can help diagnose CCHD before an infant becomes symptomatic. 6
In 2011, following numerous studies observing the utility of pulse oximetry in screening for CCHD, a work group was convened to develop strategies for the implementation of safe, effective, and efficient CCHD screening with pulse oximetry. 7 The work group found sufficient evidence to recommend the use of pulse oximetry to screen for CCHD, and further recommended that screening be performed with motion-tolerant pulse oximeters that report functional oxygen saturation (SpO 2) and have been validated in low-perfusion conditions. 7
In a recent study, researchers found a 33% decrease in infant cardiac deaths after statewide implementation of mandatory policies for CCHD screening, compared with prior periods and states without policies, as well as a 21% decrease in early infant deaths from other/unspecified cardiac causes. 8

[ Emphasis added.] This change was made in order to be more inclusive of children’s mental health. If DCF determines that “in the best interests of the child, based upon safety, well-being and permanency of the child and the child’s individual needs” the child needs to be placed outside his/her home, the child is placed in one of the following types of DCF-contracted or DCF-operated setting: foster care, which includes kinship families, child-specific families, family foster care homes where a child has previously been placed, and/or family foster care
shelter/short-term programs or group care (“congregate care”), which include short-term placements for emergency situations or assessment, called Stabilization and Rapid Reintegration Programs; group homes for children who need specialty care; and long-term residential placements for children who need a higher safety level than a foster or group home can provide
community residential care facilities, which are a form of substitute care that provides planned, temporary care in a licensed or approved residential facility 24 hours a day
The graphs below represent the number of children under 18 years old in DCF out-of-home settings each month of the audit period. When an incident occurs at one of these out-of-home locations, DCF’s Special Investigation Unit is responsible for reviewing the details of the incident and determining whether to screen it in (if it meets DCF’s criteria for suspected neglect or abuse) or out (if it does not meet these criteria). Specifically, when an incident meets DCF’s internal definition of a critical incident, 1 the DCF area director in the area where it occurred completes an internal Critical Incident Form and forwards the form to the regional and/or central office for further review and potential OCA notification. The central office reviews all the area’s Critical Incident Forms, makes a final determination of whether each incident meets the statutory definition of a critical incident and should be screened in, and notifies OCA if an incident does meet that definition.

Content: Under state law (MGL Chapter 175, Section 99 (12)), your policy can be cancelled for these reasons: Non-payment of premium; Material misrepresentation/Fraud; Conviction of a crime arising out of acts increasing the hazard insured against. ( For example, conviction for illegal storage of fireworks); Discovery of willful or reckless acts or omissions by the insured increasing the hazard insured against. ( For example, not getting a gas leak fixed); Physical changes in the property insured which result in the property becoming uninsurable. ( For example, should the home become vacant for more that 60 consecutive days, there is automatically assumed to be a greater exposure to vandalism and damage); and
A determination by the Commissioner of Insurance that continuation of the policy would place the insurance company in violation of the law.

There are various factors that qualify an event to be a news story. Let’s discuss these factors. 1. Timeliness/Freshness
Time factor plays an important role in the effectiveness of a news story. Nobody likes to read an outdated story, even if it is very important. News is just like a perishable commodity having a very short life. We can accommodate a past time story in literature, drama, feature, etc.. but it does not work in news. Journalism’s famous slogan is that “Today news is today”^

2. Proximity or Nearness
The importance of a news greatly depends on the place of its origin. Proximity in journalism does not only refer to geographical nearness but interest of nearness is well. For examples, Imran Khan’s marriage took place in U.K. but the story is .;iore interesting for the people of this part of the world. An earthquake in China killing 200 people will be less important in our
newspapers than the story of earthquake killing 30 persons in Pakistan
3. Prominence
Readers have interest in names of persons with whom they are familiar.

Content: The bigger the personality involved in the event, the greater its news value. Stories of film stars, players, politician’s philosophers and poets etc., have greater news value. 4. Magnitude
The event relating to greater loss of life, damage or natural disaster creates interest for the readers. Example: A story of fire resulting in the death of one person will have less impact than the story of fire resulting in the death of 100 people. 5. Conflict
Everybody takes interest in confrontation among people, nations and groups. The highest form of conflict is war and no war story fails to create interest for the readers.

Content: What Are My Miranda Rights and Why Are They Important? What Are My Miranda Rights and Why Are They Important? Watch any crime or legal series on TV, and you’re sure to hear the term “Miranda rights” thrown around at least a time or two. And while there is certainly a lot on crime TV that is not accurate, the fact that those arrested and charged with a crime have Miranda rights certainly is true. The following provides an overview of what Miranda rights are, and why they are important for you as a person facing criminal charges–
What Are Miranda Rights and What’s a Miranda Warning? On June 13, 1966, the Miranda rights and Miranda warning were established by virtue of the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision in Miranda v. Arizona. The case is based on Ernesto Miranda, who was accused of the kidnap and rape of a young woman. Not knowing that he didn’t have to say anything at all, Miranda gave a confession to the crime during interrogation, although he later recanted it. When the ACLU took on his appeal, they claimed that the confession was coerced and false. The case made its way through the court system, with the Supreme Court essentially overturning the conviction and declaring that before a subject can be interrogated, they must be made aware of their Constitutional rights.

Today, it is standard procedure to give a Miranda warning, that is, to inform a person who has been arrested or is being interrogated that: They have the right to remain silent; They have the right to an attorney; If they cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided; and
Anything said can be used against them.

Good themes speak to profound and shared elements of the human experience, so it’s only natural that certain common themes reappear in many movies. Here are some examples of common themes: Love.

Rose awakens in her understanding of the world’s inequities and discovers her independence. Jack evolves from a charming and directionless wanderer to someone with a deep purpose, risking everything for the person he loves. Humanity vs. technology.

Content: Finally, a god-like alien intelligence appears not as feeling and anthropomorphic, but as a cold, black monolith, as efficient and inscrutable as any machine. Sacrifice. The Lord of the Rings trilogy has several different themes throughout it, but the most unifying is that of sacrifice. While Sauron and Saruman are defined by their lust for power, the heroes—like Gandalf, Sam, and Frodo—distinguish themselves through their willingness to sacrifice themselves for others and the greater good. Even flawed characters like Boromir are redeemed through the virtue of sacrifice. Good vs. evil. The main theme of the Star Wars saga is good vs. evil, and the series provides an excellent demonstration of how all the elements of cinematic language can support a central theme. The good and evil characters are identifiable not only by their words and actions but by visual design. The Rebels and the Jedi are a diverse group of humans and aliens, clad in earthy, natural tones. Darth Vader and the rest of the Empire are cold, shiny, and uniform, a machine-like hegemon that crushes the individual.

In the heightened reality of the American Western, disputes quickly escalated to gunplay, and death was dealt casually by white hats and black hats alike. Traditional Westerns sometimes rely on death merely for stakes or as an efficient plot resolution, but revisionist Westerns have offered deeper explorations of the theme. In Lonesome Dove, Unforgiven, and No Country for Old Men, we’re reminded that death isn’t always just or fair—inevitably, it comes for us all.

In Rocky, the main character is an underdog who triumphs over long odds through determination and hard work. Again, this theme is reinforced not only through the plot and dialogue, but with tools unique to the movie medium, like the montage. ( Who can forget the memorable montage of Rocky training, punching slabs of meat, and dashing up art museum steps as a choir on the soundtrack sings an anthem to tenacity: “ Trying hard now… Gettin' strong now… Gonna fly now.”)

Tolstoy famously wrote that “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Perhaps it’s no surprise then that so many engaging stories revolve around family strife. We all struggle to become independent from our parents and invariably inherit a great deal from them, both literally and metaphorically. The Godfather begins with Michael Corleone firmly committed to a life distinct from his father’s, but over the story’s long arc, Michael assumes Vito’s mantle. In Back to the Future, Marty McFly feels an unbridgeable gap between himself and his parents and scorns their ideas for his future—until he travels back in time to meet them as teenagers, and realizes he has much more in common with them than he thought. Reason vs. faith. Raiders of the Lost Ark is as thrilling and action-packed as any James Bond movie, but its thoughtful theme elevates it above most other adventure films.

Indiana Jones is an academic and a skeptic, a man of reason (for all his derring-do) who rejects “superstitious hocus-pocus.” But over the course of the film, he’s forced to confront a divine force that defies explanation, embodied by the Ark. In a quite rare turn for an action hero, he seems to fail in his quest to defeat the villains and save the heroine when he can’t bring himself to destroy the holy relic. And yet in the film’s climax, Indy succeeds by closing his eyes and accepting an otherworldly power. The musical motif that John Williams dedicates to the Ark is simultaneously haunting, ancient, and grand, perfectly evoking this feeling of a God who can never quite be known or rationally explained.

Decade after decade, film adaptations of the Robin Hood legend—The Adventures of Robin Hood, Disney’s Robin Hood, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, among many others—spin an adventure story around this deeply resonant theme. In a time when the normal systems of justice have been corrupted, allowing the powerful to exploit the weak and the wealthy to leech off the poor, the hero becomes an outlaw so that true justice can prevail.

How Are Tariffs Decided?
Editors Pick
Content: Today, tariffs are also the most basic tool countries use in a trade war. If the countries involved are large enough, they may use tariffs as a way to exert significant pressure on one another in order to exact concessions on trade or other areas. The idea is that by making foreign products more expensive, governments can encourage their citizens to buy from domestic producers instead (producers that might not be able to compete otherwise). In theory, it’s a way for governments to boost the domestic economy while reducing their trade deficit. In practice, it’s much more complicated. Increasing prices (remember, a tariff is a tax) can lead to a reduction in GDP in the short term, as goods and services become more expensive for consumers. In the long run, protected industries may also become less efficient or innovative due to a loss of competition. Retaliatory tariffs can also cause major damage to industries that rely on exports or industries that have complex supply chains dependent on international trade. Believers in more liberalized or free trade are generally opposed to tariffs, on the belief that lower barriers to trade benefit all parties: by keeping prices low and allowing international commerce to flow unimpeded.

Content: Salsa owes its roots to several forms of Latin music, but son Cubano is at the core of all salsa music. Precursor: Son Cubano began in the Sierra Maestra of Cuba's Oriente Province, spawning from folkloric musical styles including cumbia, rhumba, changüí, nengón, kiribá, and regina. By the early 1900s, son Cubano found its way to Havana, and from there it would spread throughout the North American and South American continents. Emergence: By the mid-twentieth century, prominent bandleaders, songwriters, and performers like Tito Puente, Frank Grillo (better known as Machito), Héctor Lavoe, Johnny Pacheco, Ray Barretto, and the Cuban-born Celia Cruz developed the genre that would become salsa music America's popular culture. Popularity: Throughout the 1960s Pacheco's Fania Records (and the Fania All-Stars) released many of the top salsa recordings; the record label became a touchstone in the history of salsa. The style reached its zenith in the 1970s, when salsa spread from New York back to the Caribbean and Latin America.

Content: By the mid-twentieth century, prominent bandleaders, songwriters, and performers like Tito Puente, Frank Grillo (better known as Machito), Héctor Lavoe, Johnny Pacheco, Ray Barretto, and the Cuban-born Celia Cruz developed the genre that would become salsa music America's popular culture. Popularity: Throughout the 1960s Pacheco's Fania Records (and the Fania All-Stars) released many of the top salsa recordings; the record label became a touchstone in the history of salsa. The style reached its zenith in the 1970s, when salsa spread from New York back to the Caribbean and Latin America. Legacy: While salsa's popularity has waned with time, it has inspired various forms of pop, Latin American jazz, and hip hop. For instance, timba is a present-day Cuban musical genre that combines salsa, funk, and R&B. What's more, famous performers like Marc Anthony, Víctor Manuelle, Gloria Estefan, Eddie Palmieri, Willie Colón, and Rubén Blades have helped keep modern salsa songs playing on dance floors from Miami to New York—Anthony even played Héctor Lavoe in a biopic. 6 Characteristics of Salsa Music

Content: Since soft-shell lobsters have yet to grow into their new shells, you’ll find water in between the shell and the meat. Hard-shell lobsters, on the other hand, have a higher meat yield because they have grown into their shells. Since soft-shell lobsters do not ship well, you should only eat them locally. Male vs. female: For cooking purposes, the differences between male and female lobsters are negligible. Female lobsters have roe, which may be used for making coral oil or as a garnish for dishes. Typically, though, fishermen release egg-bearing females to reproduce and keep the lobster population stable. How to Choose the Right Size Lobster
In general, look for lobsters on the smaller end of the scale. Whole lobsters range in size from one-and-a-quarter-pound “chicks” to jumbo lobsters (three to four pounds). In Maine, the minimum size for legal harvest is one pound, and some areas enforce a maximum size as well, to protect older, larger lobsters.

Content: Learn More
What Is Central Conflict? Central conflict in a novel is when a main character’s defining desire clashes with an internal or external obstacle. Early in most stories, a powerful change will initiate the main conflict for your protagonist. In traditional literary terms, the rising action introduces the conflict, and the falling action resolves it in some way by the end of the story. The central conflict molds the shape of the journey your characters will take. What Is the Purpose of a Story’s Central Conflict? The purpose of conflict is to move a story forward. Identifying the central conflict is a crucial step in formulating the driving force behind your idea. If nothing is at stake, then a person’s choices don’t matter very much, and the audience will begin to lose interest. If you always give your characters what they want, your story will lack tension.

They can feature superheroes, martial arts, or exciting stunts. These high-octane films are more about the execution of the plot rather than the plot itself. Action movies are meant to be thrilling to watch and leave audience members on the edge of their seats. Cop movies, disaster films, and some spy films all fall under the action category.

The purpose of figurative language is to go beyond the literal meaning of words to create vivid images in your readers’ minds. In Emily Dickinson’s “Hope Is a Thing With Feathers,” Dickinson famously compares hope to an endlessly singing bird that “perches in the soul.” Most examples of figurative language include literary devices like similes, metaphors, and hyperbole in order to express meaning, evoke emotion, and make direct comparisons with your words. Why Do Writers Use Figurative Language? Sometimes literal language isn’t enough to convey a message or intent, and more vivid imagery is necessary to help readers understand the scope of your narrative.

What Is a Crime Novel? A crime novel focuses on a crime that sets off an unfolding narrative that builds toward a major reveal or resolution—who did the crime, why did they do it, and how were they brought to justice? While some crime novels are told through the point of view of a criminal, most follow an investigator as they dive deeper into an often increasingly dark and complicated web of ill deeds, deception, complex timelines, and mixed motives. Crime subgenres include whodunnits, legal thrillers, hardboiled detective stories, noir fiction, spy novels, and psychological thrillers. 3 Examples of Crime Novels
Crime novels and short stories have been a popular form of fiction for nearly two centuries. The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe (1841): Among the earliest well-known works of crime fiction are Edgar Allan Poe's short stories about the detective C. Auguste Dupin.

9 Tips for Writing a Crime Novel
If you’re planning to pen your own crime novel, consider these tips before you begin: Read the greats. Shore up your crime-writing skills by immersing yourself in the crime genre. Read every great thriller, murder mystery, whodunit, true crime tale, or detective novel you can. Note how each book deploys point of view, plot twists, interesting characters, cliffhangers, and even clichés. More than other genres, crime fiction leans into formula—learn what’s come before so you can find your own path forward. Write what excites you. Unless you’re a criminal or sleuth, the old axiom “write what you know” likely won’t apply here. But rather than study the bestsellers to see what other crime writers are (or aren’t) doing, write the crime stories that excite you. This is a genre driven by the power of unfolding logical deductions and the thrill of the chase.

This is a genre driven by the power of unfolding logical deductions and the thrill of the chase. If you’re inspired to dash toward the big reveal, chances are your readers will be too. Do your research. Assume your readers know a good detective story when they read one. Even if they’ve only seen crime procedurals on TV, they probably have a passing familiarity with police departments, detective work, and crime scenes. So if DNA, serial killer profiling, or computer hacking are vital to your crime novel, learn how they work.

Content: Increased output. When companies and individuals within a country focus on a specific task, overall output, and production increases. For example, if many different cell phone companies make every single part they require, it slows down their production. Specialization means that in our global economy we have many different companies making specific parts that are then acquired by other companies to assemble their products, like cell phones. Specialization leads to a much more efficient supply chain and opens up greater production possibilities. Individual companies are able to produce specific cell phone parts at a lower opportunity cost than if one company were to build up the infrastructure required to manufacture every single part themselves. Cheaper products. If different companies specialize in making one product or one component of a product, they are able to also work to reduce production costs by producing at a larger scale and selling more units at a lower profit margin. Absolute advantage. Absolute advantage is an economic concept that holds that specialization is beneficial even if one individual or company is highly capable of engaging in multiple production models.

To cook calamari, slice the squid body into thin rings, then cook over high heat for just a few minutes. Common cooking methods include grilling, broiling, and deep frying for just a few minutes. For tender calamari, squid should be cooked either for a very short time, or for a long time over low heat. While the body of the squid yields the best meat, calamari tentacles are also tasty, particularly in fried squid, where they offer additional surface area for the golden brown breading. MasterClass

Literary Theme 1: Good vs. Evil
The classic battle between light and dark, altruism and antagonism, the theme of good versus evil stretches beyond even Biblical times. A story about good triumphing over evil may pit two characters directly against each other, as in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, or a main character against society at large, as in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. In addition, the theme of good versus evil may be explored through the external actions and dialogue of the characters, or via their internal struggle to do the right thing when faced with temptation. Literary Theme 2: Love
Love is one of the most universal themes in literature, as in life. In fact, the theme of love is underpins many of the stories we’ve discussed so far.

Content: Just because you are writing about history doesn’t mean you can’t use genre elements. Some of the most popular historical nonfiction books use narrative or stylistic techniques from genres like science fiction, coming of age stories, or thrillers. For example, true crime is one of the most popular genres in both books and movies and is a perfect example of genre overlap between historical nonfiction and thriller. Don’t neglect character development. Just because you are writing about actual events doesn’t mean you should ignore some basic aspects of character development. When developing characters in nonfiction, your characters were living, breathing historical figures—it’s your job to provide the factual details that make the character come alive to appear nuanced and fully formed in the minds of your readers. The best nonfiction books don’t simply recount history in chronological order but rather focus on the people that influenced significant events, trying to explore the traits and desires that drove them and made them human. Focus on a single event. Rather than writing about a topic like the Civil War or World War II, consider narrowing your focus to a specific event that occured during these periods. This is especially useful if you are new to the historical nonfiction genre.

Journalism reports on true events that typically (but not always) have relevance to a contemporary audience. Journalism can also take the form of books. This includes narrative nonfiction and true crime books. Some of these books, like Losing Earth by Nathaniel Rich and Memphis Rent Party by Robert Gordon straddle the line between journalism and history. These books do not simply lay out dry facts about their respective subjects—the missed opportunities to tackle climate change and the Memphis music scene, respectively. Rather, journalistic creative nonfiction books create character portraits of real people involved in these topics, and tell narratives that allow readers to invest in the lives of these characters. Literary journalism can also delve into politics, as evidenced by books like Bush At War and Fear:

7 Factors That Lead to Income Inequality
Income disparity is driven by a number of economic, structural, and demographic forces. Economists are still working to figure out exactly why inequality rose in over the last half century. That said, seven primary factors that contribute to income inequality are: Tax policy: One of the most important variables is a country’s tax policy, with tax structures that raise economic growth in the short-term while supporting increased government revenue in the long-term connected to the lowest instances of income inequality. Unemployment: Unemployment is a major variable which greatly increases the likelihood of income inequality, as does lower overall participation of the labor force. Some economists also argue that inequality actually stems from the rise in housing prices and the inability of workers to afford to move to cities with high job growth. Globalization: In recent decades, corporations in the United States have steadily increased their outsourcing of jobs overseas as a means of reducing bottom-line costs, in turn eliminating jobs for working- and middle-class Americans.

Globalization: In recent decades, corporations in the United States have steadily increased their outsourcing of jobs overseas as a means of reducing bottom-line costs, in turn eliminating jobs for working- and middle-class Americans. International trade undoubtedly also plays a role, as it tends to favor highly educated workers at the expense of workers with less education. Increased automation: In wealthier countries, automation has started to replace many once high-paying blue collar jobs, leading to layoffs. Recent technological advances have tended to favor educated workers over less educated workers, driving up the wages of the former, while holding stagnant or even driving down the wages of the latter.

Content: International trade undoubtedly also plays a role, as it tends to favor highly educated workers at the expense of workers with less education. Increased automation: In wealthier countries, automation has started to replace many once high-paying blue collar jobs, leading to layoffs. Recent technological advances have tended to favor educated workers over less educated workers, driving up the wages of the former, while holding stagnant or even driving down the wages of the latter. The decline of unions: Since 2000, 20 percent of factory jobs have disappeared in the United States, many of which were high-paying union jobs. Deregulation and the increase of “right to work” practices have similarly impacted the number of union jobs, reducing union protections for American workers and increasing income inequality across the country. Race/gender disparities: Income inequality is most severe along race and gender lines, with women and people of color hit the hardest. On average, men earn 68 percent more than their female counterparts in the United States, with white males earning approximately twice as much as the country’s lowest earning demographic, Hispanic females.

Content: Financial Situation
Most Hispanics and minority groups come from families who have financial difficulties. The wages that Hispanic workers get are much lower than those of Whites, with a difference of more than $10,000 per year. This makes it difficult for them to invest in their children’s higher education. Few Hispanics manage to complete undergraduate education, let alone get a graduate degree. In addition, since the family experiences financial hardships, the young of the family often have to get jobs and contribute an income to the household instead of going to university. Educational Background
Most Hispanics who have migrated to the U.S have low education levels. They might not have even finished high school or didn’t attend basic elementary education. This makes it difficult for them to stress the importance of education to their children. The emphasis on working and earning income for the family and the lack of education of parents, makes it much difficult for Hispanics to access higher education, enroll and complete it. Language Difficulties
The U.S has initiated programs for learning the language and around 80% of the students are Hispanic.

The emphasis on working and earning income for the family and the lack of education of parents, makes it much difficult for Hispanics to access higher education, enroll and complete it. Language Difficulties
The U.S has initiated programs for learning the language and around 80% of the students are Hispanic. Hispanics who have migrated to the U.S have difficulties in speaking English. Despite taking English language lessons, they rarely reach average to above average reading comprehension, which makes it difficult for them to succeed in university. In addition, graduate school requires students to have some level of success in a graduate standardized test such as the GRE or the GMAT. To pass these tests, students need to know English at an advanced level so Hispanics and minorities are presented with another difficulty in accessing graduate school education. Cultural Bias
Besides the family backgrounds, finances, and language problems, there is also an inherent cultural bias towards women to complete their education.

Title: How Standardized Testing Can Negatively Affects Students and Test Grades
Headings: How Standardized Testing Can Negatively Affects Students and Test Grades
How Standardized Testing Can Negatively Affects Students and Test Grades
The Argument for Reducing Standardized Testing
How Standardized Tests Can Hurt Students
The Role of Standardized Testing in Education
Content: Studies have shown that when students are taught in environments that focus on mass customized learning focused on individual students, children have stronger grasps of the material they are being taught and can apply that knowledge in a variety of ways, while students who are taught only with testing in mind often can't apply their knowledge consistently outside of tests. How Standardized Tests Can Hurt Students
In addition to the adverse affect standardized testing ultimately has on grades, it can have a negative impact on children as well. When standardized testing is heavily emphasized in schools, children are taught in a way that meet the demands of the test rather than a way that meets the needs of the children. Learning is standardized in such a rigid way that it removes the opportunity for creativity and organic learning experiences in the classroom, which ultimately hurts children's comprehension of the subject and can eliminate the desire for learning. Young learners especially can be negatively impacted by standardized testing, because this method fails to stimulate their imaginations or curiosity. However, children of all ages are negatively impacted by standardized testing: doing poorly on a test can fundamentally alter their school experience, with graduation testing requirements sometimes forcing children to drop out of schools, gifted lotteries relying on testing scores to determine if a child is qualified, and the risk of school closure of low-performing schools, especially in low-income neighborhoods. The Role of Standardized Testing in Education
Although using standardized testing as a be-all end-all solution to child education can often hinder education, that doesn't mean that standardized testing has no place in education. Standardized testing is a valuable tool to assess how students are absorbing knowledge compared to their peers and how different schools and districts rank in comparison to one another. Standardized testing can be used to great benefit as a monitoring tool for schools, especially when used in conjunction with individualized teaching to ensure that children are gaining satisfactory skill from their learning experience.

Just How Long Should A Press Release Be?
Factors to consider when writing a Press Release…
Length is important-
Rich Content with Catchy Headline wins a spot…
Keep it Simple Yet Personal
Content: Studies indicate that an average media reporter or editor spends about five seconds going through a news release. The first two things they are likely to notice is your headline followed by the length of the content. If your work does not have a catchy headline, then there is the likelihood that your work will get rejected. Apart from a catchy headline, the length can also discourage editors from going through your work. The length of your press release should be 300-500 words. This length is manageable for an editor to go through within minutes and make the decision of whether or not to publish the story. This length also works for your audience. Research also shows that the average reader has an eight-second attention span. Therefore, if your press release is an 8-page document then it is likely that a majority of your audience will not read it. Rich Content with Catchy Headline wins a spot…
One of the ways to make your it get noticed is to ensure that it contains rich content within the recommended length.

What’s The Benefit Of Blackout Curtains?
Katie Golde
Content: Be patient- It’s easy to tell one’s self that they’ll get this up in no time, only to find themselves covered in dust and sweat, screaming at the window because they broke their last wall anchor. People should take a deep breath and get back at it when they’re ready, they’ll be glad they did. What’s The Benefit Of Blackout Curtains? Blackout curtains are one way to make a bedroom as dark as possible. These are specifically designed to stop light from filtering through and come in the form of blackout curtains, blackout linings, or blackout blinds. Blackout curtains can also help muffle sounds from outdoors, particularly if people live on a busy street. So, who might benefit from blackout curtains? While eye masks are an easy, portable way to make a sleeping environment seem as dark as possible — but they don’t work for everyone. If people toss and turn in their sleep, an eye mask may come loose in the night. And some people simply don’t like the feeling of fabric over their eyes or elastic straps against their head.

About Bill Gassett
Content: Keep reading, and you will see a comprehensive discussion on what is considered “personal” property and what is considered “real estate” or part of the property when selling a home. When you are done reading, you will know exactly what is a fixture in real estate sales. What is A Fixture? A fixture is legally considered something like decorations, equipment, or appliances that have been attached to the house. Fixtures are regarded as part of the property, and it is a given that they will go to the buyer along with the rest of the property. So, for argument’s sake, anything permanently affixed or attached is considered part of the home. Items that are nailed, screwed, glued, or bolted to walls and ceilings are considered fixtures. For instance, if you were to buy a house from a seller and discovered that he had removed all the doorknobs when he moved out, you’d understandably be angry. The doorknobs are part of the house and are something you expected to get when you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on them. Fortunately, sellers rarely run off with doorknobs.

About Bill Gassett
Content: Wall-mounted televisions should be excluded if an owner desires to take them. Keep in mind anything bolted, screwed in, or attached to a wall is considered part of the house! A sub-issue that often surfaces with wall-mounted televisions is how the holes in the wall left behind will be addressed. Do not assume anything here when buying a home. If you want the holes patched, this should be dealt with upfront and agreed to in writing by the parties. Lights – this one is on my list not because it’s hard to distinguish that they are part of a home but because many homeowners forget to exclude lights they want to take with them. Some sneaky owners will take a light and put another in its place, thinking the buyer will not remember. This is not a good way to conduct yourself in a real estate transaction, but it happens. Dog fence – this is an interesting one only because some sellers think it is perfectly acceptable to take the unit that powers the underground wiring. This is something that should become an exclusion.

When stress is at its peak, it's hard to stop and regroup. Try to prevent stress and depression in the first place, especially if the holidays have taken an emotional toll on you in the past. Acknowledge your feelings. If someone close to you has recently died or you can't be with loved ones for other reasons, realize that it's normal to feel sadness and grief. It's OK to take time to cry or express your feelings. You can't force yourself to be happy just because it's the holiday season. Reach out. If you feel lonely or isolated, seek out community, religious or other social events or communities. Many may have websites, online support groups, social media sites or virtual events.

Try reaching out with a text, a call or a video chat. Volunteering your time or doing something to help others also is a good way to lift your spirits and broaden your friendships. For example, consider dropping off a meal and dessert at a friend's home during the holidays.

Take control of the holidays
Content: Spending just 15 minutes alone, without distractions, may refresh you enough to handle everything you need to do. Find something that reduces stress by clearing your mind, slowing your breathing and restoring inner calm. Some options may include: Taking a walk at night and stargazing
Listening to soothing music
Reading a book
Seek professional help if you need it. Despite your best efforts, you may find yourself feeling persistently sad or anxious, plagued by physical complaints, unable to sleep, irritable and hopeless, and unable to face routine chores. If these feelings last for a while, talk to your doctor or a mental health professional. Take control of the holidays
Don't let the holidays become something you dread. Instead, take steps to prevent the stress and depression that can descend during the holidays. Learn to recognize your holiday triggers, such as financial pressures or personal demands, so you can combat them before they lead to a meltdown. With a little planning and some positive thinking, you can find peace and joy during the holidays.

Title: College students and depression - Mayo Clinic Health System
Headings: College students and depression
College students and depression
Content: Kerr says that for parents with college-age students, it is important to know that in 2012, 75 percent of struggling college students did not seek help for their mental health symptoms. That number is astounding. Reluctance to seek assistance increases the risk of detrimental outcomes, such as dropping out of college, poor academic performance, suicide and substance abuse. According to Kerr, nearly two-thirds of college-aged students who developed substance abuse problems also were found to suffer from mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. Situational/Risk factors which can trigger a bout of depression or anxiety for college students can include: A relationship breakup
Sexual assault
Peer relationship difficulties
Sexual identity adjustment difficulties
Drug or alcohol use
Family history of depression
Stressful life events
Having a faulty comparison of academic/athletic/social performance as compared to one’s peers
Fears of disappointing parents because of grades or career path choice
Young people with a mental health diagnosis, including depression, are five times more likely to attempt suicide than adults. Four out of five college students who either consider or attempt suicide have shown clear warning signs prior to the attempt. Suicide warning signs: Good student who begins ignoring class work or skipping classes
Withdrawal from friends
Giving away possessions
Talking about suicide
Signs of depression, hopelessness
Symptoms of anxiety/depression in college students may include: Difficulty handling school work
Loss of interest in activities, such as clubs, sports or other social activities
Changes in eating or sleeping patterns
Emotional outbursts, such as tearfulness or anger
Sense of being overwhelmed
Panic
Faulty self-assessments
Lack of energy
Warning signs for suicide
This is not an exhaustive list.

Title: College students and depression - Mayo Clinic Health System
Headings: College students and depression
College students and depression
Content: A relationship breakup
Sexual assault
Peer relationship difficulties
Sexual identity adjustment difficulties
Drug or alcohol use
Family history of depression
Stressful life events
Having a faulty comparison of academic/athletic/social performance as compared to one’s peers
Fears of disappointing parents because of grades or career path choice
Young people with a mental health diagnosis, including depression, are five times more likely to attempt suicide than adults. Four out of five college students who either consider or attempt suicide have shown clear warning signs prior to the attempt. Suicide warning signs: Good student who begins ignoring class work or skipping classes
Withdrawal from friends
Giving away possessions
Talking about suicide
Signs of depression, hopelessness
Symptoms of anxiety/depression in college students may include: Difficulty handling school work
Loss of interest in activities, such as clubs, sports or other social activities
Changes in eating or sleeping patterns
Emotional outbursts, such as tearfulness or anger
Sense of being overwhelmed
Panic
Faulty self-assessments
Lack of energy
Warning signs for suicide
This is not an exhaustive list. Being alert to behavior and personality changes can provide more clues as to a student’s state of well-being. It is important if any of these signs or symptoms are present that a college student is referred for a mental health evaluation. Many universities have mental health services on campus for student access. Students also may seek assistance at their local clinic through their primary care physician or behavioral health staff, for a thorough evaluation of symptoms and history. A combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy, along with medications, has been shown in research to effectively treat anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation.

CREST syndrome is characterized by the following clinical features: calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal hypomotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia. ( 1) Centromere antibodies were originally detected by their distinctive pattern of fine-speckled nuclear staining on cell substrates used in the fluorescent antinuclear antibody test. ( 2) In subsequent studies, centromere antibodies were found to react with several centromere proteins of 18 kDa, 80 kDa, and 140 kDa named as CENP-A, CENP-B, and CENP-C, respectively. (

Content: A solar flare or coronal mass ejection hit Earth’s magnetosphere and induced the most massive known solar storm, observed and recorded by Richard C. Carrington. What Are Solar Flares & Solar Flare Activity
Definition of a Solar Flare: A Solar flare occurs when, in a single burst, the SunSun throws off a mind-boggling amount of electromagnetic energy — the equivalent, in some cases, of several million 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time. The energy from these flares — which cause the Northern lights (aurora borealis) and other atmospheric events — reaches the Earth a few days later. Checking online about “ how solar flares affect us “ has led me to only how it will affect our lives. GPS, Cable, Satellite, Cell phones, and so on. Solar flares are explosive hiccups that spew high-energy particles and radiation away from the Sun. Changes in the Earth’s ionosphere caused by such flares can affect radio communications’ strength and quality and introduce uncertainty in satellite-based navigation tools, such as the Global Positioning System. That’s nice, but how are solar flares affecting us mentally, emotionally, and energetically? I believe that everything in our physical reality is connected energetically and how our reality is similar to a hologram.

I found this information in David Ickes Book: ( Affiliate Link) – Human Race Get Off Your Knees: The Lion Sleeps No More, where he talks about a conversation he had with the British Psychic – Carol Clarke. Clarke tells Icke about a vivid dream she had with the famed Cosmologist Carl Sagan who appeared and talked about photons, the basic unit of light, and all other electromagnetic radiation forms.

Some solar flares may be caused by dark matter particles called axions spewing out from the center of the Sun, new calculations suggest. Solar flares are sudden changes in Sun’s brightness caused by twisted magnetic fields on the Sun snap and reconnect explosively. However, they could also be caused by dark matter, the mysterious entity that makes up most of the universe’s mass – if it is made up of theoretical particles called axions. The solar flares and photon waves are changing the fabric of our physical reality as they have a powerful effect on our physical cellular level, causing our cellular memories to awaken and clear. Our lower emotions are low-frequency energy stored in our cells from past experiences and traumas that we have encountered and never processed – so they become stored as cellular memories.

Factors Affecting Organizational Performance
In this uncertain economic and social climate there are many factors that affect the organizational performance. The most essential factors affecting organizational performance are Leadership, Motivation, Organisational Culture and Knowledge Management. 1. Leadership
Leadership is the prime factor affecting the success or failure of organisations. It is the process in which one individual exerts influence over others. Leadership is a process that enables a person to influence others to achieve a goal and directs an organisation to become rational and consistent. In organisations where there is faith in the leaders, employees will look towards the leaders for almost everything. During drastic change in times, employees will perceive leadership as supportive, concerned and committed to their welfare, while at the same time recognizing that tough decisions need to be made. True leadership states that leadership skills can be mastered by people who wish to become leaders. The two very important components of effective leadership:

Content: Managing Emotions – Self Regulation
Anger is a powerful emotion that builds on itself; escalating anger is caused by a series of aggravations, resulting in emotion’s ability to overcome reason. Ways in which people manage their anger include reflection on the situation, distraction through a long walk or exercise, and relaxation. However, if individuals are not aware of their anger, it will be difficult for them to cool off. Worry is another emotion that can spiral out of control without careful management. Chronic worry can lead to an intensifying cycle, possibly leading to phobias, obsessions and compulsions, or panic attacks. Worry can also worsen feelings of melancholy and depression. Like anger, worry can be controlled through self-awareness of its onset, and further control may be achieved through relaxation techniques. Individuals who are able to manage their emotions can more easily rebound from setbacks, disappointments, and frustrations, while those who are poor managers of their feelings find themselves always fighting feelings of distress and anger. 3.

Content: Procedural justice affects the idea of fairness and equity across the organisation. An important HR challenge for organisations is to ensure that there is equity among all the ranks of employees, not taking into consideration their cultural background, relevant experience or their worth to the business. Here, the concept of procedural justice is utilised for allocation of resources and for resolving disputes. It is also related to legal proceedings and administration of justice in case of conflicts. Procedural justice pertains to making decisions and establishment of policies in the organisation. It ensures that the most respectful and fair decision is made, regardless of the situation. If a policy is being chalked out for a business division, it needs to apply to all working employees in that division. Likewise, if there are modifications or revisions made to a policy, it cannot be altered differently for different people. Otherwise, procedural justice will not be implemented fairly. It must also be mentioned that if there arises a situation wherein a conflict cannot be resolved by the concerned parties and a ruling has to be given by the supervisor or leader, the decisions have to be neutral and based on fact rather than being subjective and clouded by personal bias of any kind.

Content: It ensures that the most respectful and fair decision is made, regardless of the situation. If a policy is being chalked out for a business division, it needs to apply to all working employees in that division. Likewise, if there are modifications or revisions made to a policy, it cannot be altered differently for different people. Otherwise, procedural justice will not be implemented fairly. It must also be mentioned that if there arises a situation wherein a conflict cannot be resolved by the concerned parties and a ruling has to be given by the supervisor or leader, the decisions have to be neutral and based on fact rather than being subjective and clouded by personal bias of any kind. Implementing procedural justice is beneficial to the organisation in more than one way. If the employees have good faith in policy making and conflict resolution mechanism of the employer, they are more motivated to remain committed to the organisation. However, it also puts pressure on companies to create such policies which clearly demonstrate procedural justice. This implies that company’s response will be consistent, regardless of position, age, education, training or gender of person. For example, if a company has a strict policy against repeated defaulters who report to work late, every person, be it manager or an executive have to be subjected to the same penalty.

Published by MBA Skool Team, Last Updated: January 22, 2018
What is Cold Canvassing? Cold Canvassing is a sales tactic that is widely used across the industry. It is deployed to identify customers who may be interested in purchasing some particular goods and services. This process is also termed as Cold Calling. The target consumers are located without any hard-core segmentation as it is at the end of the complete process that one gets to know whether the target audience is interested in a product or a service or not. Cold canvassing can be done by paying a cold visit or an introductory telephonic call.

Content: A musket and powder, pots and pans, hoes and other farm implements have to come from a store. But cash is scarce. In a barter system the local store owner trades goods for produce. Unfortunately for farmers, taxes and mortgage payments cannot be made good in vegetables. When pressured for money the result can be violent - as happened in Shays' Rebellion. Medicine is something practiced at home. Calling a doctor is regarded as a signal that death is near. And the germ theory of disease is still 100 years in the future. Old-fashioned remedies are the best you have. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

Hypothesis 1: Gender and Coping
Content: Upon the occurrence of death, sadness is a common reaction of loved ones. As a person tries to adjust to life without the person they cared about, depression may take hold. Anger is another emotion commonly experienced by those who are grieving. This is a normal grief reaction that should be encouraged, with attempts to redirect the anger, which is often displaced (Zilberfein, 1999). As one lives with the loss, they become scared, lonely, and confused. Once the person realizes that denying the loss will not make it go away, individuals often become angry (Gard, 2000). Sadness, anger, happiness, fear, surprise, hope, contentment, and peacefulness are a few examples of adjectives used to describe how we view death based on the circumstances of the death. The subject of death is taboo in our society. This situation contributes to the difficulties many have in accepting and coping with the death of a loved one, impeding the process of grief and bereavement. When people refer to death as “passing away”, “moving on”, or “going to a better place” they are disguising death through euphemistic language.

When people refer to death as “passing away”, “moving on”, or “going to a better place” they are disguising death through euphemistic language. Many people live by the myth that if death is not talked about; it will pass without the pain associated with the loss of a loved one. This only serves to prolong the grieving process, which can result in the stages of death not being resolved. How people mourn and grieve depends on many factors in their lives, including but not limited to the following: gender, beliefs about death, personality type, and perception of the loss.

It’s the best and worst of times for decision makers. Swelling stockpiles of data, advanced analytics, and intelligent algorithms are providing organizations with powerful new inputs and methods for making all manner of decisions. Corporate leaders also are much more aware today than they were 20 years ago of the cognitive biases—anchoring, loss aversion, confirmation bias, and many more—that undermine decision making without our knowing it. Some have already created formal processes —checklists, devil’s advocates, competing analytic teams, and the like—to shake up the debate and create healthier decision-making dynamics.

Now for the bad news. In many large global companies, growing organizational complexity, anchored in strong product, functional, and regional axes, has clouded accountabilities. That means leaders are less able to delegate decisions cleanly, and the number of decision makers has risen. The reduced cost of communications brought on by the digital age has compounded matters by bringing more people into the flow via email, Slack, and internal knowledge-sharing platforms, without clarifying decision-making authority. The result is too many meetings and email threads with too little high-quality dialogue as executives ricochet between boredom and disengagement, paralysis, and anxiety (Exhibit 1).

Charging ahead: Electric-vehicle infrastructure demand
Access to efficient charging could become a roadblock to electric-vehicle uptake. Let’s look at the numbers and costs behind the problem. DOWNLOADS
Open interactive popup
Article (PDF-738KB)
Ask any electric-vehicle (EV) shopper: poor range and limited attractiveness have long been the two biggest bottlenecks to EV uptake. Now, however, with more than 350 new, feature-laden EV models to debut by 2025, with ranges that increasingly top 200 miles, these attributes pose less of a hurdle. Instead, if consumers purchase EVs at the expected rates in the next five to ten years, a lack of charging infrastructure could become an obstacle to EV adoption. Recognizing the charging-capacity gap
Consumers rank not having enough access to efficient charging stations as the third most serious barrier to EV purchase, behind price and driving range. That’s according to McKinsey’s 2016 EV consumer survey of buyers considering battery-powered EV in China, Germany, and the United States. With EV prices declining and ranges expanding, charging could soon become the top barrier.

That’s according to McKinsey’s 2016 EV consumer survey of buyers considering battery-powered EV in China, Germany, and the United States. With EV prices declining and ranges expanding, charging could soon become the top barrier. McKinsey’s base-case scenario for EV adoption suggests approximately 120 million EVs could be on the road by 2030 in China, the European Union, and the United States (Exhibit 1). The aggressive-case scenario could see that double. Along with different levels of EV adoption across regions, structural considerations will make charging-station demand highly localized. For example, compare a city like Los Angeles, with many single-family low-rise homes that have parking garages, with Manhattan, where high-rise multi-unit apartment dwellings prevail. These two cities will have extremely different EV charging-infrastructure needs.
