Content: By the late 1920s most of the nation had developed a set of zoning regulations that met the needs of the locality. [ citation needed]
New York City went on to develop ever more complex set of zoning regulations, including floor-area ratio regulations, air rights and others according to the density-specific needs of the neighborhoods. Among large populated cities in the United States, Houston is unique in having no zoning ordinances. Houston voters have rejected efforts to implement zoning in 1948, 1962 and 1993. However, land use is still very much regulated in Houston: up until 1999, single-family homes (which includes 98% of all housing stock) had to occupy 5,000 square feet (460 m 2) of land. Apartment buildings currently must have 1.33 parking spaces per bedroom, and 1.25 for each efficiency. Some have argued that this sort of regulation has similar effects as zoning, and therefore can be regarded as a sort of roundabout zoning. Zoning types in the United States
Zoning codes have evolved over the years as urban planning theory has changed, legal constraints have fluctuated, and political priorities have shifted. The various approaches to zoning can be divided into four broad categories:

Zoning codes have evolved over the years as urban planning theory has changed, legal constraints have fluctuated, and political priorities have shifted. The various approaches to zoning can be divided into four broad categories: Euclidean, Performance, Incentive, and Design-based. Euclidean
Named for the type of zoning code adopted in the town of Euclid, Ohio, and approved in a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, Euclidean zoning codes are by far the most prevalent in the United States, [ citation needed] used extensively in small towns and large cities alike. Standard Euclidean
Also known as "Building Block" zoning, Euclidean zoning is characterized by the segregation of land uses into specified geographic districts and dimensional standards stipulating limitations on the magnitude of development activity that is allowed to take place on lots within each type of district. Typical types of land-use districts in Euclidean zoning are: residential (single-family), residential (multi-family), commercial, and industrial.

Summary
Content: This requires that we continually evaluate and improve the care given based on new findings and credible knowledge. Through research and testing, health care professionals can implement evidence-based care into nursing practice. Evidence-based data allows health care facilities to use the most effective practice while saving the patients money on their care. Overall, patients, nurses, and other members involved in the patient's care will be able to feel satisfaction because of the cost-effective care put into everyday practice. Research has overwhelmingly increased overall care in health care facilities and increases and grows in a way every day to better our knowledge and be more prepared when handling patient's needs. This in turn will allow nurses to provide optimal cost effective patient care. Technology related to nursing
~Technology has significantly influenced the text and communication of the nursing field. New and improved technology has been put on the market in order to increase patient care, satisfaction, and outcomes. Some examples of new technology include computer based charting, communication through e-mail from one unit to another unit, and cell phones and pagers as a way of communication to get a hold of a physician who may not be present in the hospital at a time when needed. ~The advancement in technology has changed in a way that seems almost impossible to older generations.

Tucker was sincerely asking Jillian Weiss about how to trust someone who comes out as gay the other day. He seemed to be very keen on talking against transgender people and he kept telling that they were ‘fake’. ‘I’m saying don’t give $11 billion of way to people who are faking!’ said Carlson.

Weiss also didn’t find it necessary to say that he was right. She asked him directly to show her the evidence of any transgender faking. She said that if Carlson could show and say that someone actually faked, she would sit and discuss about it.

Content: A high level observation car is nearest the camera. The luxurious streamlined Park Car sits at the end of an eastbound VIA Rail 'Canadian' service, about to depart Pacific Central station in Vancouver, British Columbia in May 2006
Canada is the second largest country on earth, yet with a population of just 35,158,300, it has just the thirty-sixth largest population. The sheer size of the country, which spans 9,984,670 km² (3,854,085 sq mi) and six time zones means that vast areas of Canada are either sparsely populated or completely uninhabited. While most Canadians choose to travel between major cities by aeroplane, there still exists today a continuous series of connecting train services from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and a trans-continental journey on the passenger trains of Canada remains one of the greatest railway journeys in the world. This itinerary explains how to book, travel and experience the scheduled passenger rail services that exist between: Halifax ( Nova Scotia)
Montréal ( Quebec)
Ottawa ( Ontario)
Toronto ( Ontario)
Winnipeg ( Manitoba)
Saskatoon ( Saskatchewan)
Edmonton ( Alberta)
Jasper ( Alberta)
Vancouver ( British Columbia)
This itinerary covers 6,351km (3,946 miles), crosses eight Canadian provinces and passes through some of North America 's most vibrant and exciting cities. Whether experienced from the comfort of a private sleeping compartment or in the sociable and affordable seated coaches, it is a once-in-a-lifetime trip that demonstrates Canada 's social and geographic diversity, from sea to shining sea. There are many other passenger rail services in Canada. Information on all other rail services in Canada can be found on Rail travel in Canada page. Prepare
Whom to travel with
A handful of private luxury train operators offer exclusive rail tours, however most passenger rail services in Canada are provided by VIA Rail Canada [1], the state owned Crown Corporation that provides national passenger rail services.

Travelling from one side of Canada to another by train is the perfect framework for an exciting and varied holiday. Travelling both ways is not: the vast landscape of the country will become infinitely less interesting if you have to turn round and go back again.

This mountain range is so notable that the name Alps has also been given to other mountain ranges, most notably the Southern Alps in New Zealand and the Japan Alps in Japan . Tourism (and the economy in general) is very much geared towards Skiing, snowboarding, and other Winter sports throughout most of the Alps. In ski resorts, despite a new focus on summer time activities such as hiking or golf, some of the hotels and other facilities may close. This increase in summer time sports such as mountain biking, golf, parapenting, or whitewater kayaking is now fueling the growth of the alps as a year round tourist destination. The Alps have always been popular as a mountaineering and hiking destination, but clearly this is nowhere near as lucrative for the locals as the tourist invasion during the winter season is. Talk
The alps skirt, straddle, or wholly encompass seven european nations: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Each of these has their own national language (s) and a myriad of local dialects. However in most major towns or tourist destinations some English will be spoken.

Content: The California Desert Protection Act added most of the Saline, Eureka, northern Panamint, and Greenwater valleys to the Park. Flora and fauna
Animal life is varied, and numerous species of reptiles, birds and mammals populate Death Valley, adapting well to the desert environment. However, many of these animals have a nocturnal lifestyle in order to escape the searing climate and can be difficult to spot. The largest native mammal in the area, and perhaps the best studied member of the fauna, is the desert bighorn sheep. Small herds of sheep are most commonly found in the mountains surrounding Death Valley but at least occasionally visit the valley floor. Look for these animals near the springs and seeps that can be found throughout the park. Over 350 species of birds are now known to inhabit or visit the area. And even native fish are to be found in Death Valley - several forms of desert pupfish of the genus Cyprinodon live in Salt Creek and other permanent bodies of water. Climate

Ireland is an island in north-western Europe which has been divided politically since 1920. Most of the island is made up of Ireland (Irish: Éire, also known as Poblacht na hÉireann = the Republic of Ireland). The remainder is Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom . Understand
The island of Ireland historically consists of 32 counties, of which six, collectively known as Northern Ireland, have remained as part of the United Kingdom since the rest of Ireland gained self government in 1922. The name "Ireland" applies to the island as a whole, but in English is also the official name of the independent state (ie the 26 counties which are not part of the United Kingdom), since 1921.

Content: Mithila is an ancient cultural region of South Nepal and North India lying between the lower ranges of the Himalayas and the Ganges River. The Nepal border cuts across the top fringe of this region. The Gandak and Kosi Rivers are rough western and eastern boundaries of Mithila. The Ramayana records a dynastic marriage between Prince Rama of Ayodhya and Sita, the daughter of Raja Janak of Mithila. Regions
It's future map of mithila rajya
In India, that region consists of Begusarai, Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, East Champaran, Khagaria, Madhepura, Madhubani, Munger, Muzaffarpur, Saharsa, Samastipur, Sheohar, Sitamarhi, Supaul, Vaishali and West Champaran. Darbhanga
The name of the district has been derived from its head quarter and principal town, which is said to have been founded by Darbhangi Khan. It is also said that the name Darbhanga was derived from Dwar-Banga or Dar-e-Bang meaning "THE GATEWAY TO BENGAL". Darbhanga is one of the important districts of North Bihar situated in the very heart of Mithilanchal - the fertile, alluvial plains of North India. Under the British rule, Darbhanga was a part of Sarkar Tirhut up to 1875, when it was constituted into a separate district. The sub-divisions of the then district Darbhanga were created as earlier as Darbhanga Sadar in 1845, Madhubani in 1846 and Samastipur in 1867.

Content: History
The southern part of the country was part of the Holy Roman Empire until it was acquired piece by piece by the Franks. At the end of the Middle Ages, it became a Spanish possession (together with what is now Belgium). Little survives from this period, except a few historic city centres, and a few castles. Following the Dutch Revolt, led by national hero William of Orange ( Willem van Oranje ), the Netherlands became a de facto independent republic in 1572. The (first) split with Belgium came when the northern provinces (including Flanders) signed the Union of Utrecht in 1579. It grew to become one of the major economic and seafaring powers in the world during the 17th century, which is known as the Dutch Golden Age ( Gouden Eeuw ). During this period, many colonies were founded or conquered, including the Netherlands East Indies (currently Indonesia) and New Amsterdam (currently New York City ), which was later traded with the British for Suriname . In 1805, the country became a kingdom when Emperor Napoleon appointed his brother 'King of Holland'. In 1815, it became the United Kingdom of the Netherlands ( Verenigd Koninkrijk der Nederlanden) together with Belgium and Luxembourg under King William I ( Willem I ). In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate kingdom.

In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate kingdom. Luxembourg received independence from the Netherlands in 1890, as the Salic Law prohibited a female ruler. Avoiding the liberal revolutions of 1848 and new adopted Treaty, the Netherlands quietly became a constitutional monarchy and remained neutral in World War I but suffered a brutal invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. In 1944, the Low Countries formed the union of the Benelux in which they economically (and sometimes politically) work together. The country was a founding member of NATO in 1949 and the European Community (EC) in 1957, and participated in the introduction of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in 1999.

Content: Train travel is Britain's most popular method of public transportation, with passenger usage approaching record highs despite annual rises in fares and negative portrayals in the media. In the last financial year ending in April 2014, 1.59 billion passenger journeys were made across Great Britain. Travelling by train is one of the fastest, most comfortable, convenient and enjoyable ways to explore Britain. From High Speed 1, which connects London to Kent and under the English Channel to mainland Europe, to preserved railways operating historic steam trains through idyllic countryside, to bustling modern commercial centres and small unspoiled villages, to the breathtakingly scenic lines of Scotland, the train can be an enthralling and affordable way to see all that the UK has to offer. As for services across the English Channel to France, Belgium and The Netherlands, the cross-channel rail operator Eurostar has become the dominant carrier in cross-channel intercity passenger travel on the routes that it operates, carrying more passengers than all airlines combined. However, the complex system of privatised train operators serving an effectively state-owned network of stations and lines has resulted in a complex fare and ticket system that can be confusing to the visitor. The structure of the industry is still very much in a state of change as a result of a controversial privatisation programme in the mid 1990s, as train franchises routinely change hands between operators and routes reorganised to fit the needs of the travelling public. Despite this, the network provides seamless journeys even if travelling on trains serviced by multiple operators – tickets can be purchased from any station in Great Britain to any other, irrespective of train company. This guide does not cover rail travel in Northern Ireland, which operates its own state-owned system called Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) which is separate from National Rail and even uses a different track gauge. NIR is owned and controlled by the government of the Northern Irish Executive in Belfast.

The iconic double-arrow symbol signifies a railway station or the rail network throughout Britain. It appears on all stations, road signs and maps. All infrastructure (e.g. track, bridges, stations etc.) is owned by the state controlled company Network Rail, a "not for dividend" company limited by guarantee and owned by the government, while trains are operated by private companies (usually multinational transport companies) which bid for particular franchises. The system is tightly controlled by the national and devolved governments in London, Edinburgh and Cardiff which heavily subsidise it. There are also operators controlled by local government bodies (the London Overground is one example) and a small number of open access (non-franchised) operators which run additional services across the country. Although the ownership and structure is complex you often won't notice it when making a journey, due to the integrated nature of the British rail system.

Although the ownership and structure is complex you often won't notice it when making a journey, due to the integrated nature of the British rail system. General service schedules and routes run by the train franchises are specified by the government, but the "detail" and actual level of service are operated by commercial train companies known as train operating companies (TOCs). These lease or own rolling stock to run the passenger services demanded in their franchise contracts. Companies compete to win franchises for a certain number of years. Their continued permission to operate, or ability to win extensions or future franchises, depends on factors including value-for-money, performance and customer satisfaction. Government officials and transport ministers play a heavy role in the process.

Content: Modern period
The Russian Federation emerged from the Soviet Union during the turbulent events of 1990-91. The first leader of the newly formed nation was Boris Yeltsin, who rose to power by standing up to an attempted putsch. Yeltsin largely succeeded in transferring control over the country from the old Soviet elite to a newly formed cabinet of ministers. Yeltsin was a weak leader but widely supported by the West, however his government proved to be unstable. A wave of economic hardship put Russia's economy in ruins and left the military underfunded and undisciplined. During this time, Russian society was plagued by organized crime and great instability with many people having left the country. Russia was also at war with Chechen separatists, which were largely created out of religious fanaticism funded by international terror groups. This had a setback consequences for the developing Russian economy. Ill health and alcohol dependency, eventually forced Yeltsin to resign, and Vladimir Putin filled his remaining term (January - April 2000) as President. An ex-Soviet security officer, and head of the revived Russian federal security service under Yeltsin, Putin inspired with his charismatic personality Russian patriotism, and was able to consolidate the positive spirit of the country, however has been much condemned by the old Western countries.

The Snowy Mountains are on Australia 's eastern seaboard and are equidistant from Sydney and Melbourne. Most people travel to the region by car as this is the most flexible and rewarding way of exploring the mountains. However for visitors travelling from afar, there are regular bus services to Cooma and Tumut from Sydney and Canberra, and many plane connections into into Canberra with car hire available. The Snowies are well served by a network of sealed roads with diverse and spectacular scenery. The Alpine Way from Jindabyne to Khancoban, the Snowy Mountains Highway between Tumut and Cooma, the Monaro Highway running south from Canberra and the Elliot Way from Tumbarumba to Cabramurra all pass through stunning landscapes. If you are just interested in the skiing, Murrays [2] offer a day trip from Canberra to the ski resorts during the ski season, with lift packages, and one-way fares available. Often you can get this bus for little more than the cost of the lift passes and ski hire. Get around
During winter snow chains must be carried by 2WD vehicles on the Alpine Way, Kosciuszko Road, Guthega Road. Some roads may close at short notice, so check conditions .

Australia's high country is home to spectacular peaks, clear mountain streams and a plethora of accessible natural attractions for lovers of the outdoors. Walking and horseriding are two great ways to explore the alpine landscape and take in some of the country's most impressive scenery in the warmer months. The Snowy Mountains is a significant and untamable high country where many Australian myths and traditions of Australian identity were born. Whether from nature's pure beauty or legends of early settlers, there's a story to be told and history to be learnt - from icons like the heights of Mount Kosciuszko to the famous high country huts, to Snowy Hydro feats of ingenuity, beautiful mountain brumbies and to rivers that flow with legends. The Snowy Mountains Scheme is one of Australia's largest engineering and construction operations.

The ideas behind the scheme is to divert the winter snowmelt waters westward into the Murrumbidgee rivers, irrigating large parts of inland Australia and at the same time generating Hydro-Electricity. There are several large lakes, tunnels, and Hydro power stations that form part of the scheme that you can visit. Tours take visitors a kilometre into the mountainside and offer a vivid insight into the sheer scope of this iconic part of the nation's post-war development.

Content: Some taxis may go to the Grottes d'Hercule so you need to get off before they turn that way which is at Aswakas Salam Supermarket the fare is 5dh per seat. From there you can take another taxi in the direction of airport and just get off at the roundabout of the airport the fare is 3-5dh per seat and walk from there to the airport (20-30mins)
Coming from the airport, a grand taxi running into Tanger (10Dh) can be easily caught at the roundabout. By rail
ONCF opened a new train station, Tanger Ville, in 2003, which is now the end of the line. While it's closer to the city center than Tanger Morora, the original end-of-the-line, it's still quite a long walk so take a petit taxi for 15dhs or so. The country has an excellent railway system with 1,893km (1,176mi) of track and a fine intercity passenger service. Overnight train services running throughout Europe can connect with Morocco. Most of the time, non stop trains are fine but those which are not direct sometimes make unscheduled stops en route but do not panic as you will reach your destination eventually. There is a night-train leaving from Tangier to Marrakesh at 9:05PM costing 350 Dirhams for a couchette. There is a daily Train service to Fez for 155 Dirhams for a first class fare (5 hour journey)
When travelling overnight by train, it is usually cheaper to buy a couchette ticket than a first class ticket. Notice If you are taking the night train, and not using the sleeper cars, you will probably not get a good night sleep.

Title: Eeyore has a birthday
Headings:
chapter six
Content: Pooh wishes Eeyore many happy returns of the day, and Eeyore wishes them back to Pooh, because he doesn't want both of them to be miserable on his birthday, and he gets quite upset at this thought, and tells Pooh that it's bad enough being miserable by himself, with no presents and no proper notice taken of him, but he can't cope if everyone else is going to be miserable too. Pooh is overwhelmed by this poignant show of emotion from the donkey, and he resolves to find Eeyore a present right away, even if he has to get him another, proper present afterwards. When Pooh arrives at his house he finds that Piglet is already there, jumping up and trying to reach the knocker. Pooh asks him what he is doing, and Piglet explains, and Pooh kindly offers to knock the knocker for him, which he does. And while they wait for someone to come to the door, Pooh tells Piglet about the sad state of Eeyore, and how gloomy he is, and then exclaims that whoever lives there is taking an awfully long time to come to the door. Piglet points out that Pooh lives there, and Pooh says oh yes, and they go in. Pooh goes straight to his larder and gets a small jar of honey, and tells Piglet that he is going to give it to Eeyore as a present. Piglet asks if he could give it to Eeyore too, so that it is from both of them, but Pooh says that that isn't a good idea. As he can't give the honey with Pooh, Piglet decides to give Eeyore a balloon, which he has left over from his party. Now, we will presume that this is the same party as referenced in chapter one, when the balloons that Christopher Robin had taken home were used to help Pooh float.

Content: From where do we come, who are we, where do we go?... Such purposeful Homo Sapiens bias makes knowledge human, ours, understood beyond parroted grand explanations. The rest, so necessary, so undeniably true, so powerful - facts, data, experiments, detached explanation of things “in themselves” grand laws, algorithms, theories, perfect skeletons of dried-out thought - is ascetic science and disinterested reason trying not to be human, craving to free itself from being human; that is, truth for a world without us. That knowledge for the sake of itself, independent of us, its capital discoveries and its planet-changing technological conquests, require therefore constant vigilance and harnessing to join back our best interest. *
Let us be clear, humane wisdom is not opposed to science; it is its necessary complement (even as science does not know yet how to define wisdom and how to enrich it). It would be of course absurd to say that wisdom is better than science. The vocation of wisdom is not to diminish our trustful respect for scientific progress, our learning from sensible knowledge; it is rather to grant that science still serves us, instead of us worshipping science.

The vocation of wisdom is not to diminish our trustful respect for scientific progress, our learning from sensible knowledge; it is rather to grant that science still serves us, instead of us worshipping science. We humans aim to know things as they are and also to judge what they mean to us, not to the infinite Universe, nor for the sake of Ultimate Truth: grasping what the known is worth to us, how it links back to our needs and values and action. This entails exerting the humble but ultimate human interest of living a good, flourishing life. Wherever science prevailed, wisdom ads worth to it as it interprets science in human terms, accountable to society. Information, data, knowledge grow into understanding, servants to the conscious human person, the one who feels, says “I” knowingly, judges and chooses.

Heart of Palm Nutrition
By Sara Ipatenco
Does Pesto Have a Lot of Sodium? Heart of palm is exactly what it sounds like: It's the inner part of a palm tree bud. A nutritious vegetable with a soft texture and mild flavor, heart of palm is available canned at most supermarkets, making it a simple way to add flavor and nutrition to your meals. Fiber
If your diet is like most, it probably doesn't contain the 20 to 35 grams of fiber you need for good health. Not getting enough fiber prevents your digestive system from working properly, which can lead to constipation and hemorrhoids. When you do eat enough fiber, you might be lowering your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Fiber might also help prevent certain types of cancer. A 1-cup serving of heart of palm supplies you with 3.5 grams of fiber toward your daily goal. Iron
Almost all of the iron in your body is present in your red blood cells.

Almost all of the iron in your body is present in your red blood cells. Iron helps your red blood cells form correctly so they can move oxygen to all the parts of your body. The essential mineral supports your immune system and can help prevent fatigue, too. Women under the age of 50 need 18 milligrams of iron a day, and then after age 50, they only need 8 milligrams. Men need 8 milligrams of iron no matter what their age. A 1-cup portion of heart of palm supplies a good dose toward these goals with 4.57 milligrams.

Content: Additional Nutrients
Heart of palm provides additional vitamins and minerals, though in less impressive doses than fiber and iron. One cup of heart of palm supplies 57 micrograms of folate toward your daily goal of 400 micrograms. Folate helps your body make energy from food and also reduces the risk of certain birth defects. You also get small amounts of potassium and vitamin C. One drawback to heart of palm is the amount of sodium it contains. Because the food is usually canned, it contains sodium to help preserve it and improve its flavor. One cup of heart of palm contains 622 milligrams of sodium. This is a significant amount toward your daily limit, especially if you're following the American Heart Association's recommendation of 1,500 milligrams of sodium or less per day. Eating Hearts of Palm
To keep heart of palm as healthy as possible, look for reduced-sodium versions. Enjoy heart of palm on its own, or add it to a tossed green salad. Top a Caesar salad with heart of palm to add a boost of flavor and nutrition.

Content: Strength-Training Exercises
If your first thought of strength training is hooking yourself up to a gym machine, think again. Strength training takes a variety of forms. It's up to you to find out which one appeals to you, your budget and your schedule. You can go to the gym and use machines or weights, but this requires paying for a membership and getting to the gym. Still, many women find gyms motivate them to work out. At home, you can use your own body weight to build muscles with exercises such as pushups, squats and crunches. As you gain strength, you can add in resistance bands and light hand weights to your routine. You can also do yoga or Pilates, either with a DVD at home or in a group class. Keep Up the Cardio
In addition to your strength-training regimen, it's important get aerobic exercise to stay fit, strengthen your heart and burn fat. The CDC recommends adults get 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity, 75 minutes of intense activity or a mix of the two each week.

Stories of Victims of Child Trafficking
Stories of Victims of Child Trafficking
Content: The girl was in the basement with Demont’s half brother, Moosey Jones, who had put her in this double bind. She was bawling, begging him. But she was terrified of Demont, so she had sex with Moosey, his friend and another underage boy, not knowing that not going back to Demont would send her on a new, terrible path as a prostitute for a business advertising in Eastern Iowa as an escort service called Naughty-bi-Nature. The girl would come to be known as M.B. in court documents in Linn, Johnson, Iowa, Washington and Clayton counties, as well as U.S. District Court. Getting her out of the business that seemed to produce poison in so many ways would almost cost one Iowa woman her life. Locking up the people who’d exploited her would take more than two years. Hers, the first human trafficking case prosecuted in Iowa federal court, would test the resources, skills and patience of investigators and prosecutors who never had dealt with such a complex case, and who hope, even as they ready themselves to better respond to the next, to never see another like it. No ‘Pretty Woman’
Although police and prostitutes say it’s easy to dial a date in the Corridor, prostitution is hard to prosecute. Like drug dealing, the people involved are all implicated in the crime and all — theoretically at least — are willing participants. Customers don’t have any interest in reporting prostitution.

-Female serial killers have long killing sprees, lasting up to 8 years (males' sprees almost never last longer than 4 years and usually end after several months). -Female serial killers kill more quietly and less "violently", with poison or other less undetectable methods, like suffocation. Males tend to batter, strangle, stab, and shoot. -Female serial killers kill for profit most of the time, while male serial killers kill for sexual reasons about half the time. -Female serial killers generally kill people close to them, such as husbands, family members, or people dependent on them. Males kill strangers more often. There are three similarities between male and female serial killers: -They look, act, and sound normal – which makes people trust them. -They are psychopaths, but they're not insane. -Neither male nor female serial killers have a conscience.

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court handed down its historic decision in Roe v. Wade, overturning a Texas interpretation of abortion law and making abortion legal in the United States. It was a turning point in women's reproductive rights and has remained a hot-button issue within United States politics ever since. The Roe v. Wade decision held that a woman, with her doctor, could choose abortion in earlier months of pregnancy without legal restriction, based primarily on the right to privacy. In later trimesters, state restrictions could be applied. Fast Facts: Roe v. Wade

Content: she sought the overturn of the law and an injunction so she could go ahead with the abortion. The district court agreed with McCorvey that the law was unconstitutionally vague and violated her right to privacy under the Ninth and 14th Amendments but refused to issue an injunction. McCorvey appealed and the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, along with another case called Doe v. Bolton, lodged against a similar Georgia statute. The Supreme Court case filing occurred on March 3, 1970, when McCorvey was six months pregnant; she eventually gave birth and that child was adopted. She said she wanted to continue with the case to support other women's rights. Arguments for Roe v. Wade began on December 13, 1971. Weddington and Coffee were the plaintiff's lawyers. John Tolle, Jay Floyd, and Robert Flowers were the defendant's lawyers. Constitutional Issues
The Roe v. Wade case was argued for the plaintiff Jane Roe on the grounds that the Texas abortion law violated the 14th and Ninth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

The Roe v. Wade case was argued for the plaintiff Jane Roe on the grounds that the Texas abortion law violated the 14th and Ninth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The due process clause of the 14th Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law to all citizens and, in particular, required that laws be clearly written. Previous cases challenging abortion laws usually cited the 14th Amendment, claiming that the law was not specific enough when a woman's life might be threatened by pregnancy and childbirth. However, since attorneys Coffee and Weddington wanted a decision that rested on a pregnant woman's right to decide for herself whether abortion was necessary, they based their argument on the Ninth Amendment, which states: " The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The framers of the Constitution had recognized that new rights might be developed in years to come and they wanted to be able to protect those rights.

The framers of the Constitution had recognized that new rights might be developed in years to come and they wanted to be able to protect those rights. The state prepared its case primarily on the basis that a fetus had legal rights, which ought to be protected. The Arguments
The argument for the plaintiff Jane Doe stated that, under the Bill of Rights, a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy. It is improper for a state to impose on a woman's right to privacy in personal, marital, familial, and sexual decisions. There is no case in the Court's history that declares that a fetus—a developing infant in the womb—is a person. Therefore, the fetus cannot be said to have any legal "right to life."

Content: Because it is unduly intrusive, the Texas law is unconstitutional and should be overturned. The argument for the state rested on its duty to protect prenatal life. The unborn are people and, as such, are entitled to protection under the Constitution because life is present at the moment of conception. The Texas law was, therefore, a valid exercise of police powers reserved to the states to protect the health and safety of citizens, including the unborn. The law is constitutional and should be upheld. Majority Opinion
On Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court handed down its ruling, holding that a woman's right to an abortion falls within the right to privacy protected by the 14th Amendment. The decision gave a woman a right to an abortion during the entirety of the pregnancy and defined different levels of state interest for regulating abortion in the second and third trimesters. In the first trimester, the state (that is, any government) could treat abortion only as a medical decision, leaving medical judgment to the woman's physician. In the second trimester (before viability), the state's interest was seen as legitimate when it was protecting the health of the mother. After the viability of the fetus (the likely ability of the fetus to survive outside of and separated from the uterus), the potential of human life could be considered as a legitimate state interest.

Content: The state could choose to "regulate, or even proscribe abortion" as long as the life and health of the mother was protected. Siding with the majority were Harry A. Blackmun (for The Court), William J. Brennan, Lewis F. Powell Jr., and Thurgood Marshall. Concurring were Warren Burger, William Orville Douglas, and Potter Stewart
Dissenting Opinion
In his dissenting opinion, Justice William H. Rehnquist argued that the framers of the 14th Amendment did not intend for it to protect a right of privacy, a right which they did not recognize and that they definitely did not intend for it to protect a woman’s decision to have an abortion. Justice Rehnquist further argued that the only right to privacy is that which is protected by the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures. The Ninth Amendment does not apply here, he wrote. Finally, he concluded that because this issue required a careful balance of the interests of the woman against the interests of the state, it was not an appropriate decision for the Court to make, but instead was a question that should have been left up to state legislatures to resolve. Dissenting were William H. Rehnquist (for The Court) and Byron R. White
The Impact
The Texas statute was struck down as a whole, and further, Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the United States, which was not legal at all in many states and was limited by law in others. All state laws limiting women's access to abortions during the first trimester of pregnancy were invalidated by Roe v. Wade. State laws limiting such access during the second trimester were upheld only when the restrictions were for the purpose of protecting the health of the pregnant woman. As for McCorvey, four days after the decision, she publicly identified herself as Jane Roe.

Feminism is a complex set of ideologies and theories, that at its core seeks to achieve equal social, political, and economic rights for women and men. Feminism refers to a diverse variety of beliefs, ideas, movements, and agendas for action. It refers to any actions, especially organized, that promote changes in society to end patterns that have disadvantaged women. The Origin of the Word "Feminism"
While it is common to see the word "feminist" used for figures such as Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797), the terms feminist and feminism were not used in the modern sense until a century after her 1792 book " A Vindication of the Rights of Women " was published. The term first appeared during the 1870s in France as féminisme —although there has been some speculation that it may have been used before then. At the time, the word referred to women's freedom or emancipation.

Content: Feminism and Sexuality
One arena in which women have long been oppressed is with regard to sexuality, which includes behavior, interactions with men, posture, and exposure of the body. In traditional societies, men are expected to be the commanders, standing tall and allowing their physical presence to represent their role in society, while women are expected to be quieter and more subservient. Under such societal conventions, women are not supposed to take up much space at the table, and most certainly, they should not be seen as a distraction to the men around them. Feminism seeks to embrace female sexuality and celebrate it, as opposed to so many societal conventions that condemn women who are sexually aware and empowered. The practice of elevating sexually active men while denigrating sexually women creates a double standard between the genders. Women are shunned for having multiple sexual partners, whereas men are celebrated for the same behaviors. Women have long been subjected to sexual objectification by men. Many cultures still cling to the notion that women must dress so as to not arouse men, and in many societies, women are required to fully cover their bodies. On the other hand, in some so-called enlightened societies, female sexuality is routinely exploited in the mass media. Scantily clad women in advertising and full nudity in movies and television are commonplace—and yet, many women are shamed for breastfeeding in public.

There are many differences within the constellation of feminist ideals, groups, and movements related to workplace unfairness, discrimination, and oppression that result from the real disadvantages women experience. Feminism assumes that sexism, which disadvantages and/or oppresses those identified as women, is not desirable and should be eliminated, however, it continues to be an issue in the workplace. Unequal salaries are still pervasive in the workforce. Despite the Equal Pay Act of 1963, on average, a woman still earns only 80.5 cents for every dollar a man earns.

There is a common misconception that feminists are reverse sexists, however, unlike male sexists who oppress women, feminists do not seek to oppress men. Rather, they seek equal compensation, opportunities, and treatment for both genders. Feminism seeks to achieve equal treatment and opportunity for women and men in order to achieve similar opportunities across different fields of work and culture and equal respect in a variety of roles. Feminists theorists often explore the concepts with regard to which of women's experiences are taken as normative:

Some women who were artists rejected feminist readings of their work. They may have wanted to be viewed only on the same terms as artists that had preceded them. They may have thought that Feminist Art criticism would be another way of marginalizing women artists. Some critics attacked Feminist Art for "essentialism." They thought each individual woman’s experience was claimed to be universal, even if the artist had not asserted this. The critique mirrors other Women’s Liberation struggles. Divisions arose when anti-feminists convinced women that feminists were, for example, “man-hating” or “lesbian,” thus causing women to reject all of feminism because they thought it was trying to foist one person’s experience onto others. Another prominent question was whether using women’s biology in art was a way of restricting women to a biological identity—which feminists were supposed to have fought against—or a way of releasing women from the negative male definitions of their biology.

Feminist literary criticism (also known as feminist criticism) is the literary analysis that arises from the viewpoint of feminism, feminist theory, and/or feminist politics. Critical Methodology
A feminist literary critic resists traditional assumptions while reading a text. In addition to challenging assumptions which were thought to be universal, feminist literary criticism actively supports including women's knowledge in literature and valuing women's experiences. The basic methods of feminist literary criticism include: Identifying with female characters: By examining the way female characters are defined, critics challenge the male-centered outlook of authors. Feminist literary criticism suggests that women in literature have been historically presented as objects seen from a male perspective. Reevaluating literature and the world in which literature is read: By revisiting the classic literature, the critic can question whether society has predominantly valued male authors and their literary works because it has valued males more than females.

Embodying or Undercutting Stereotypes
Feminist literary criticism recognizes that literature both reflects and shapes stereotypes and other cultural assumptions. Thus, feminist literary criticism examines how works of literature embody patriarchal attitudes or undercut them, sometimes both happening within the same work. Feminist theory and various forms of feminist critique began long before the formal naming of the school of literary criticism. In so-called first-wave feminism, the "Woman's Bible," written in the late 19th century by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is an example of a work of criticism firmly in this school, looking beyond the more obvious male-centered outlook and interpretation.

During the period of second-wave feminism, academic circles increasingly challenged the male literary canon.

During the period of second-wave feminism, academic circles increasingly challenged the male literary canon. Feminist literary criticism has since intertwined with postmodernism and increasingly complex questions of gender and societal roles. Tools of the Feminist Literary Critic
Feminist literary criticism may bring in tools from other critical disciplines, such as historical analysis, psychology, linguistics, sociological analysis, and economic analysis. Feminist criticism may also look at intersectionality, looking at how factors including race, sexuality, physical ability, and class are also involved. Feminist literary criticism may use any of the following methods: Deconstructing the way that women characters are described in novels, stories, plays, biographies, and histories, especially if the author is male
Deconstructing how one's own gender influences how one reads and interprets a text, and which characters and how the reader identifies depending on the reader's gender
Deconstructing how women autobiographers and biographers of women treat their subjects, and how biographers treat women who are secondary to the main subject
Describing relationships between the literary text and ideas about power and sexuality and gender
Critique of patriarchal or woman-marginalizing language, such as a "universal" use of the masculine pronouns "he" and "him"

Noticing and unpacking differences in how men and women write: a style, for instance, where women use more reflexive language and men use more direct language (example: " she let herself in" versus "he opened the door")
Reclaiming women writers who are little known or have been marginalized or undervalued, sometimes referred to as expanding or criticizing the canon—the usual list of "important" authors and works (Examples include raising up the contributions of early playwright Aphra Behn and showing how she was treated differently than male writers from her own time forward, and the retrieval of Zora Neale Hurston 's writing by Alice Walker .) Reclaiming the "female voice" as a valuable contribution to literature, even if formerly marginalized or ignored
Analyzing multiple works in a genre as an overview of a feminist approach to that genre: for example, science fiction or detective fiction
Analyzing multiple works by a single author (often female)
Examining how relationships between men and women and those assuming male and female roles are depicted in the text, including power relations
Examining the text to find ways in which patriarchy is resisted or could have been resisted
Feminist literary criticism is distinguished from gynocriticism because feminist literary criticism may also analyze and deconstruct literary works of men. Gynocriticism
Gynocriticism, or gynocritics, refers to the literary study of women as writers.

Reclaiming women writers who are little known or have been marginalized or undervalued, sometimes referred to as expanding or criticizing the canon—the usual list of "important" authors and works (Examples include raising up the contributions of early playwright Aphra Behn and showing how she was treated differently than male writers from her own time forward, and the retrieval of Zora Neale Hurston 's writing by Alice Walker .) Reclaiming the "female voice" as a valuable contribution to literature, even if formerly marginalized or ignored
Analyzing multiple works in a genre as an overview of a feminist approach to that genre: for example, science fiction or detective fiction
Analyzing multiple works by a single author (often female)
Examining how relationships between men and women and those assuming male and female roles are depicted in the text, including power relations
Examining the text to find ways in which patriarchy is resisted or could have been resisted
Feminist literary criticism is distinguished from gynocriticism because feminist literary criticism may also analyze and deconstruct literary works of men. Gynocriticism
Gynocriticism, or gynocritics, refers to the literary study of women as writers. It is a critical practice exploring and recording female creativity. Gynocriticism attempts to understand women’s writing as a fundamental part of female reality. Some critics now use “gynocriticism” to refer to the practice and “gynocritics” to refer to the practitioners. American literary critic Elaine Showalter coined the term "gynocritics" in her 1979 essay “Towards a Feminist Poetics.” Unlike feminist literary criticism, which might analyze works by male authors from a feminist perspective, gynocriticism wanted to establish a literary tradition of women without incorporating male authors.

Susan Faludi: Feminism's agenda is basic: It asks that women not be forced to "choose" between public justice and private happiness. It asks that women be free to define themselves—instead of having their identity
Bell Hooks: As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male. Their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media. Margaret Atwood:

Margaret Atwood: Does feminist mean large unpleasant person who'll shout at you or someone who believes women are human beings? To me it's the latter, so I sign up.

For me the great mission of feminism is to seek the full political and legal equality of women with men.

Mary Daly: The fact is that we live in a profoundly anti-female society, a misogynistic "civilization" in which men collectively victimize women, attacking us as personifications of their own paranoid fears, as The Enemy. Within this society it is men who rape, who sap women's energy, who deny women economic and political power. Andrea Dworkin:

Content: And the Milky Way is just one galaxy in our universe. Scientists estimate that there are hundreds of billions of galaxies throughout our universe. When you think about them, the numbers are staggering, and scientists believe the possibilities are endless. More and more, scientists are beginning to believe that we are not alone. Of course, there is no proof that life exists elsewhere, but experts are learning more every day about the probabilities that it might. Scientists believe that Earth is the only planet in our solar system that supports life, at least as we know it on Earth. For human beings to live and thrive, conditions have to be “just right," like they are on Earth. For example, humans could never survive the overwhelming heat on Mercury or the frigid cold on Neptune. Other conditions, such as poisonous gases and lack of water, also prevent other planets from being good hosts for life. Armed with this knowledge, scientists have long believed that life might be found elsewhere in the universe on planets similar to Earth orbiting other stars.

For example, if we could find another star with a planetary system orbiting it that had a planet similar in size and location to Earth, perhaps it, too, would have those “just right" conditions for life as we know it. Many of these theories predated our ability to test them. With recent developments in technology, however, scientists are looking farther and farther into space…and learning some interesting things! In 2009, scientists launched the Kepler telescope specifically to look for planets around other stars. Scientists have just started to publish their findings from the data obtained from the Kepler telescope's many observations.

Content: These nearly three million Native Americans in the U.S. and Canada speak over 150 different Native American languages. At times, the terms used to refer to Native Americans have been controversial. According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, though, it appears that most Native Americans prefer to call themselves American Indians or simply Indians. The Native Americans in the U.S. can be divided into over 560 separate tribes. Even though they're all considered Native Americans, their languages, clothing, customs, and cultures can vary greatly from one tribe to another. These diverse tribal cultures celebrate their unique identities and contributions in many ways. Through independent newspapers, community schools, tribal councils, native colleges, museums, arts and crafts programs, and language preservation, the modern descendants of these many tribes continue to survive and thrive in the modern society they helped to build. Wonder What's Next? Tomorrow's Wonder of the Day takes a look at the not-so-sweet truth about a condition that affects millions of people. Try It Out
We hope you enjoyed learning more about the first Americans today!

What Is a Narwhal?
Have You Ever Wondered...
Tags:
Content: Sometimes called “the Arctic unicorn," narwhals are small whales (about 15-16 feet long) that live in the icy waters of the Atlantic and Russian areas of the Arctic Ocean, near Canada and Greenland. Narwhals are most closely related to the beluga whale. Male narwhals feature a unique, defining physical characteristic: a long protrusion from the upper left jaw that looks like a tusk or a horn. In medieval times, people believed that narwhal tusks were the horns of the legendary unicorn. In reality, though, a narwhal tusk is not a unicorn horn. In fact, it's not a horn at all. Would you believe it's a tooth? It's true! Male narwhals have a left incisor tooth that grows outward straight through the left side of the upper jaw.

Male narwhals have a left incisor tooth that grows outward straight through the left side of the upper jaw. It can grow up to almost 10 feet in length with a distinctive spiral shape. Female narwhals also have a similar tusk that's much shorter and straighter. A narwhal's right incisor is normally small, but occasionally it also grows out. These “two-horned" narwhals are very rare. Scientists aren't completely sure what purpose narwhal tusks serve.

At one time, people believed they might be used to break ice or spear fish. Further study has shown, though, that they're most likely used in mating rituals to impress females or battle rival males. Narwhals feed on fish that swim deep under the Arctic ice. In fact, narwhals are known for making some of the deepest dives of any marine mammal. Narwhals have been known to dive to depths of over 2,500 feet over 15 times per day, with some dives reaching as deep as almost 5,000 feet!

Narwhals have been known to dive to depths of over 2,500 feet over 15 times per day, with some dives reaching as deep as almost 5,000 feet! Today, they're still hunted legally by the Inuit peoples of Canada and Greenland. Known for their ability to use all parts of the narwhal, the Inuit peoples eat narwhal meat, harvest their tusks to use as tools, and even eat their skin, which is a good source of vitamin C.
The name narwhal comes from the Old Norse words nar ( corpse) and whal (whale). Narwhals were likely called “ corpse whales" because of their pale, mottled coloring that made them look like drowned sailors! In the Middle Ages, people believed narwhal tusks were unicorn horns with magical powers, such as the ability to render poison harmless. As a result, traders could sell narwhal tusks for many times their weight in gold.

Why Do Bees Sting?
Have You Ever Wondered...
Tags:
Content: The stinger then continues to pump venom into the victim for up to 10 minutes or until it is removed. Honey bees are the only bee species that die after stinging. However, honey bees sometimes survive after stinging if the victim’s skin is thin and doesn’t hold the barbed end of the stinger. This doesn’t happen often, though, because honey bee stingers are designed to stick in the skin of the victim to release as much venom as possible. Bee stings can be quite painful. For some people, though, they can actually be deadly. Some people are allergic to the venom in bee stings. For these people, a sting can trigger a dangerous allergic reaction. If you‘re outside with a person who’s allergic to bees, make sure you know where to find help if they are stung. Despite their painful stings, bees are an important part of their world.

The lowest 10 percent earned less than $44,990, and the lowest 25 percent earned less than $54,260, which are the salary ranges under which many entry-level sonographers would fall. However, Delaware Technical Community College indicates that the competitive starting salary range for sonographers is $48,000 to $64,000 annually. Location Matters

2016 Salary Information for Veterinary Technologists and Technicians
Content: Many programs require a year of basic classes before you advance to technician studies. You might take first-year courses in English composition, humanities, math, microbiology and communications. In the second year, you’ll study animal medical techniques, animal husbandry and diseases, parasitology, anesthesiology and surgical principles. To increase your odds of a career with horses, look for programs with equine electives. Some schools offer classes in equine science, while others affiliate with working farms that have equine teaching barns. Externship
You’ll need to complete an externship, or preceptorship, to graduate. Your externship, and its length, varies from program to program. Some schools mandate hands-on experience between your first and second years, while others require it at the end of your schooling. Externships last as little as five weeks, or go eight weeks or more. To specialize in equine veterinary technology, apply for an externship at an equine hospital.
