Content: Oil producers could face significant losses, with $380 billion of above-ground investments becoming worthless if the oil industry and oil-rich nations are not prepared for a surge in green energy by 2030. Energy companies are hedging their risk with increased investment in renewables. The world’s top 24 publicly-listed oil companies spent on average 1.3% of their total budgets on low carbon technology in 2018, amounting to $260 billion. That is double the 0.68% the same group had invested on average through the period of 2010 and 2017. The New Geopolitics of Energy: Battery Minerals
Low carbon technologies for the new energy era are also creating a demand for specific materials and new supply chains that can procure them. Renewable and low carbon technology will be mineral intensive, requiring many metals such as lithium, cobalt, graphite and nickel. These are key raw materials, and demand will only grow. Material

Fungi Perfecti Host Defense® Breathe Description
Content: Given this new dietary knowledge, which foods should you eat and avoid if you’ve got asthma? The Cleveland Clinic, the Mayo Clinic and Stanford Children’s Health offer these insights: People with severe asthma might have depleted levels of vitamin D. To bump up your vitamin D intake, you might try eating more milk, eggs and fish. Milk, eggs, fish and shellfish also can trigger asthma symptoms in some people, so you might actually want to avoid them, along with peanuts, tree nuts, soy and wheat. For some asthma sufferers, sulfites might prompt symptoms. If that’s the case for you, stay away from sulfite-heavy wine, dried fruits, pickles, and fresh and frozen shrimp. Food additives such as colorings, dyes and preservatives, along with the artificial sweetener aspartame, might trigger asthma symptoms, but there’s no conclusive scientific evidence to back this up. Other foods you might want to include in an anti-asthma diet include those chock-full of beta carotene (such as carrots, spinach and kale) and those rich in magnesium (such as legumes and green leafy vegetables). Keep in mind that there’s no single diet or food recommended for asthma sufferers; a combination of adding or subtracting various foods from your diet is likely your best bet.

As always, consult your doctor or a nutrition professional before making substantial changes in your eating habits. Susan Schenck, author of “The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet,” says she learned through research as well as trial and error that alleviating asthma has more to do with what you don’t eat than what you do eat. As such, she discovered that eliminating dairy, egg whites and coconut oil from her diet has helped treat her asthma. Registered and licensed dietitian Alicia Galvin notes that a gluten-free diet also might aid in coping with asthma.

Content: On the other hand, if symptoms are moderate, severe, or limiting your normal activities it is best to seek medical care regardless of whether it's a wrist sprain or fracture. Sprained Wrist vs. Broken Wrist
Many patients suffering from wrist pain start by asking, “Is my wrist broken or sprained?” The two conditions are easily confused. While an X-ray is necessary to know for sure, one reliable sign that can help you know how to tell if a wrist is broken or sprained is the pain itself. Broken bones tend to come with a constant ache, whereas sprains tend to feel worse when the joint is being moved. Sprained Wrists and Arthritis
What does a sprained wrist feel like, as opposed to arthritis? The aches and pains can be similar, so tell your physician if you think long-term discomfort is contributing to your sprained wrist symptoms. The biggest difference is that a sprained wrist is usually an acute sudden injury whereas arthritis onset is typically gradual. How Long Does a Sprained Wrist take to Heal?

Holistic means encompassing the whole of a thing, and not just the part. Holistic medicine looks at the whole person for answers, not just at physical symptoms. You might have heard of holistic medicine, which tries to treat someone as mind and body, instead of treating only the part of the patient that is most sick. People often talk about holism in relation to healing, whether of bodies or other things.

Holding a license as an ultrasound technician in Massachusetts is not currently mandatory. Becoming certified or earning a degree in the field are good options as they increase both the chances of getting hired and your salary from the start. The first step of getting licensed is to enroll in a training program that received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health. The training program for a simple certificate lasts for about 1 year. Those interested in certification can also attempt to take the test organized by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS). These are held at the Pearson Vue testing centers. If the program was not accredited, the candidate needs to prove: 60 semester hours,
an internship
12 months of employment
Earning a Degree
To earn a degree like an Associate’s, candidates have to enroll in a special educational program that also includes practice hours in a clinic setting.

Nature vs. Nurture
One of the most worrying effects of social media, as outlined in The Social Dilemma, is its negative impact on our body image. Research is relatively consistent in finding a correlation between this and social media, especially when consuming and engaging with appearance-focused content that promotes narrow societal beauty standards. In the documentary, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt highlights a strong correlation between the negative mental health of teenage girls and the adoption of smartphones. But as Nadia Craddock, research fellow at the Centre for Appearance Research, argues, “the relationship really depends on the content we engage with and how we feel about our body before we use social media.” Which is to say, if you’re already predisposed to worrying about how you look—a result of genetics and social-environmental factors—staring at images of yourself and comparing them to curated influencer feeds is bound to exacerbate these anxieties. Furthermore, given the nature of algorithms, the more you visit these feeds, the more the platforms will recommend more of the same feeds to you. This leads to an echo-chamber effect, where we constantly compare ourselves to our news feeds of filtered influencers, thinking this is what everyone else in the world looks like. In actuality, we are just stuck in an algorithm designed to show us what it thinks we’ll be interested in—and without anyone there to regulate it.

In this sense, The Social Dilemma presents an over-sensationalized generalization of social media’s negative impact when its relationship with mental health is actually more nuanced. In an increasingly digitized world, and particularly now as we are social distancing, social media has become a vital lifeline to stay connected, and its use will likely increase in the future. That said, while they cannot be held solely responsible for poor mental health across the board, these platforms can have a negative impact on those with preexisting vulnerabilities and particularly those with body-image issues. So how can we protect ourselves and those most vulnerable from the negative impact of these platforms? Remaining in Control
“Remember you are in control of how you use social media, how long you spend [on it], and what you consume and engage with,” says Craddock.

It’s not just hemlines that make headlines at Vogue. For 125 years now, the magazine has been registering both sartorial and societal shifts, changes charted across glossy pages and covers. And for many years, the iconic Vogue cover featured colorful “storytelling” pictures by leading illustrators that romanced “the woman of leisure” as she followed the sun, hit the slopes, and lived for the night. Once fashion photography was deemed an art circa the mid-1930s, Vogue changed track and greeted its reader with stylized snaps of real-life beauties and professional models, and eventually began showcasing actors ( Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong'o) and entertainers (Cher, Beyoncé, Rihanna ). In a 125-year tenure, ever wondered who the most photographed Vogue cover model is; how many issues have been published; or who has appeared on the masthead and the cover? Ever lost sleep trying to remember if royalty fronted the magazine, or what few celebrity couples have been featured?

Content: There have been other major waves of Honduran emigration since then, like during Hurricane Mitch in the late 1990s, when Hondurans were granted temporary protected statuses in the United States. President Donald Trump’s administration has threatened to revoke that status, which would send an estimated 57,000 Hondurans who have been living in the United States back to Honduras. Hondurans are in the midst of another wave of migration that’s been happening for several years. This wave, said Suyapa Portillo Villeda, assistant professor of Chicano-Latino Transnational Studies at Pitzer College, began with a military-backed coup in 2009. That led to the most violent years on record in the country, starting in 2011. “If you look at records of people being detained and making it through at the border, that is when we see a serious exodus of Hondurans and entry to the U.S.,” Portillo Villeda told me last year. “ There’s extortion, gangs, but also intrafamilial violence against women. People wanted to get their kids out by 2014.” That year, 2014, is when the U.S. saw a surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America arrive at the Texas border. “People know there are no open borders here,” Cecilia Menjívar, sociology professor at the University of Kansas told me last year. “

Most types of crime are most likely to happen in summer. But you might be surprised by what sorts of crimes are "summer crimes," and which ones are most common in other seasons — or aren't dependent on the season at all. A 2014 study, from the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, looked at seasonal patterns in various types of crime in the US. The researchers went through surveys of crime victims from 1993 to 2010, and tried to figure out whether there statistical trends as to when crimes took place: during summer (June-August), fall (September-November), winter (December-February) or spring (March-May). Because the study didn't include regional breakdowns, it's hard to tell whether it's warm weather that leads to more crime, or whether there's something else going on. And in most cases, the researchers didn't provide explanations for why these seasonal patterns existed. They just identified that the patterns exist. 1) You're more likely to be a victim of violent crime in summer
The researchers found that "serious violence was significantly higher during the summer than during the winter, spring and fall seasons."

The researchers found that "serious violence was significantly higher during the summer than during the winter, spring and fall seasons." That includes rape and sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault. Among adults, simple assault is also more common in summer than in other months. Intimate partner violence is even more dependent on season than other types of violent crime. There's only a 6 percent difference between violent crime rates for winter and summer, but there's a 12 percent difference in intimate partner violence between the coldest and warmest times of the year. 2) Your house is much more likely to be broken into in the summer
The biggest seasonal trend the researchers found wasn't in violent crime — it was in property crime, and specifically household burglary.

Title: “Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare”: a history of the idea - Vox

Content: For that reason, the All* Above All Action Fund says that abortion should be “safe, legal, accessible, and affordable,” not rare, Lopez said. Democratic candidates have been listening to concerns like these, and in recent years, they’ve moved away from “safe, legal, and rare.” The word “rare” was removed from the Democratic party platform in 2012, Bracey Sherman said, and in 2016, Clinton no longer used it on the campaign trail. A discussion of abortion in her 2017 book What Happened showed how much the former candidate’s language had changed on the issue. “ We can debate the morality of abortion forever,” Clinton wrote, “but at the end of the day, who decides whether a woman gets or stays pregnant?” Her answer: “ I say let women decide.” Clinton’s shift was part of a bigger move in the Democratic Party toward more outspoken and less equivocal support of abortion rights. In particular, advocates had been calling for a repeal of Hyde for years because the amendment, first passed in 1976, blocks Medicaid coverage for almost all abortions. As a result, many low-income Americans are blocked from getting the procedure or forced to go into debt or forego necessities to pay for it.

Content: In 2016, the Democratic Party added a call to repeal Hyde to its official platform. Today, all the Democrats running for the 2020 presidential nomination say they support allowing federal money to pay for abortions. Even former Vice President Joe Biden, who earlier this year supported leaving Hyde in place, now calls for its repeal. The move to repeal Hyde and the move away from “safe, legal, and rare” are linked, Bracey Sherman said. “ This is just a general shift in moving away from stigmatizing people who need and have abortions.” Despite the shift, divisions on abortion remain among Democrats
But “safe, legal, and rare” isn’t completely gone. Gabbard — who once identified as pro-life but now says she supports abortion rights — used the phrase at the fourth presidential debate on Tuesday night, when she was asked how she would stop states from restricting abortion access. “We see how the consequences of laws that you’re referring to can often lead to a dangerous place,” Gabbard went on. “ I do, however, think that there should be some restrictions in place. I support codifying Roe v. Wade while making sure that during the third trimester, abortion is not an option unless the life or severe health consequences of a woman are at risk.”

Content: While thought to be a reliably blue state in presidential elections, Minnesota is emerging as a sleeper battleground in 2020. It is far too early to tell if, or how, Floyd’s death or the explosive Minneapolis protests that followed it could impact the November elections. But some political experts are wondering if peaceful protests mixed with violence and destruction could scare the state’s swing voters — particularly white suburban women — that Democrats need to win in the state. “I think in the suburbs, people are saying you can’t have police officers asphyxiating somebody,” said David Schultz, a political science professor at Hamline University in St. Paul. On the other hand, he added, “I can see a lot of these suburban voters who voted Democrat in 2018 saying, ‘well gosh, maybe Trump can bring law and order here or bring some peace.’” The Star Tribune/MPR/KARE 11 poll published on May 25 found the former vice president leading Trump by just 5 points, 49-44 percent, with 7 percent undecided. The poll had a margin of error of 3.5 points. Minnesota has a Democratic governor and two Democratic US senators, but also a split state legislature, with the state Senate controlled by Republicans and state House controlled by Democrats. The 2016 election results showed the state pretty evenly split. That year, Hillary Clinton carried Minnesota by just 1.5 percentage points, winning just nine of its 87 counties.

Content: The breadth of the outrage is a reflection of the changing attitudes about race, and blacks being seen in a much more human way than was historically the case in the US.” Whatever the outcome, how Minnesota votes in 2020 could have profound political implications for the rest of the country. The state has traditionally taken a backseat to its neighbors Wisconsin and Michigan during presidential races. But if Democrats were to lose Minnesota for the first time in nearly 50 years, it could be a tremendous blow to their hopes of retaking the White House. “Minnesota could determine who becomes president if it’s close as 2016,” Jacobs said. If national Democrats get complacent, he added, “it’s a false complacency, Minnesota is quite winnable.” Minnesota is a swing state
Every four years, Minnesota is typically written off as a solidly blue state, compared to the rest of the upper Midwest. There’s a reason for that; the last time Minnesota voted for a Republican presidential candidate, it was Richard Nixon in 1972. But there’s plenty of evidence to suggest the state is turning purple.

Control of the state legislature is also divided, with Republicans narrowly controlling the state Senate and the DFL controlling the state House. In 2016, Trump was just 44,593 votes shy of beating Clinton. Whereas Obama had won 42 of Minnesota’s 87 counties in 2008 and 28 of them in 2012, Clinton won just 9 in 2016.

Clinton eked out a win relying on the most populous, blue areas of the state around Minneapolis and St. Paul, but staring at the 2016 Minnesota electoral map was like staring at a sea of red. There are a few factors to help explain this shift. Minnesota is historically a very white, protestant Christian state that has diversified rapidly in the last few years as immigrants from Somalia, Cambodia, and Latin American countries have settled there. Politically, the state can be divided into the blue areas around the Twin Cities, and a more purple area around the northern Iron Range that was historically Democratic and union-heavy but has trended red in recent years. There’s also the southern part of the state that is reliably Republican, but is also diversifying in some cities where immigrants work at meatpacking plants like Hormel in Austin, Minnesota.

The swing areas, Schultz and Jacob agreed, are suburban areas around the Twin Cities and places like Rochester, Minnesota (home to the Mayo Clinic). “The battleground now is mobilizing the bases and capturing suburban swing voters,” said Schultz. “ We’re really looking at the battleground being suburban women. It’s not so much the suburban males.” The rapid diversification of such a white state helps explain Trump’s sudden 2016 rise in a traditionally Democratic state, Jacobs said.

Title: The Supreme Court’s big Native American rights case, McGirt v. Oklahoma, explained - Vox
Headings: The Supreme Court’s landmark new Native American rights decision, explained
The Supreme Court’s landmark new Native American rights decision, explained
No, they didn’t give away half of Oklahoma — but it is a big deal.
McGirt is a case about whether the federal government must honor its obligations to Native Americans — but only up to a point
So what does this mean for Oklahoma?

Content: Thus, Oklahoma lacks authority to try McGirt for raping someone on a Native American reservation. Only the federal courts may try such a crime. On the surface, in other words, McGirt seems to involve a fairly minor issue. No one questions that McGirt may be convicted of rape. And no one questions that he can face a stiff penalty for such a conviction. The question is which court may try the case against him. But in order to answer this question, the Supreme Court must determine whether McGirt’s crime did, indeed, occur on a reservation. And the answer to that question turns out to have significant implications. The Muscogee (Creek) Nation had a great deal at stake in this case. As the Creek Nation noted in a brief to the Supreme Court, it “had no role in the genesis of this litigation, but now finds its Reservation under direct attack .”

McGirt is a case about whether the federal government must honor its obligations to Native Americans — but only up to a point
Gorsuch begins his opinion by referencing the Trail of Tears, an atrocity in 1838 during which the US government forced thousands of Native Americans out of their homes and ordered them to march more than 1,000 miles to relocate to Oklahoma. More than 4,000 victims of this act of barbarism died along the way. Yet the federal government also sought to give this forced march a patina of legitimacy by entering into treaties with the displaced people. Under the terms of the United States’ treaty with the Creek Nation, that nation ceded, in an 1832 treaty’s words, “all their land, East of the Mississippi river” in return for a promise that “the Creek country west of the Mississippi shall be solemnly guarantied to the Creek Indians.”

Title: Early voter turnout 2020: How many people have voted in person and by mail? - Vox
Headings: 9 questions about 2020’s record-breaking early vote, answered
9 questions about 2020’s record-breaking early vote, answered
How many people have already voted? And what does that tell us about the election?
1) What did early voting turnout look like in 2020?
2) How many people voted by mail versus in person?
3) Who, exactly, voted early?
4) What kinds of problems did we see with early voting?
5) What kind of problems did we see with voting by mail?
6) What do the early voting numbers mean for overall 2020 turnout?
7) What do the early voting numbers mean for the outcome of the election?
8) Ugh, okay, fine. But what does all this early voting mean for how soon we’ll know the results of the election? Might that at least come in early?
9) So is early voting, in all its forms, going to be a permanent thing now?
Content: “We’re seeing a very energized, interested electorate, and we’re seeing a public, I think, that is responding to a message that you need to cast that ballot early this year,” Paul Gronke, a professor of political science at Reed College who runs the Early Voting Information Center, said. Enthusiasm among both Democratic and Republican voters is high. President Donald Trump is the reason: His supporters are extremely motivated to reelect their guy, and the other side is extremely motivated to vote him out.

Voters also absorbed the “vote early” directive, likely motivated by safety concerns about voting during the coronavirus pandemic, and by rhetoric around the integrity of the election system, from the Trumpian attacks on mail-in voting to Democratic concerns about a dysfunctional US Postal Service. But rather than deterring people from voting, it may have driven them to the polls. “ People are responding — thankfully, not by not casting a ballot, but by casting an early ballot,” Gronke added. Beyond turnout, the early vote data offers only partial clues about the electorate in 2020. It hints at who’s voting, how, and where they are on the electoral map.

Content: Just over one-quarter of these new voters are under 30, suggesting these aren’t just people who are newly of voting age. Those new voters, he said, are also more likely to be Democrats and more likely to be Asian or Hispanic than the electorate at large. This group also includes seniors over 65, who may have sat out in 2016. Some of these voters returned in the 2018 midterms, part of the reason for the “blue wave” back then, Bonier said, but they’re returning again in 2020. Younger voters also turned out, and so far it’s an “astronomical” difference compared to 2016, according to Kristian Lundberg, an associate researcher at the Center for Information Research & Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE). In Texas, for example, more than 1 million voters ages 18 to 29 had voted early in this election as of October 27, compared to just a little more than 100,000 who voted early in 2016. Total youth turnout was 1.2 million in Texas in 2016. 4) What kinds of problems did we see with early voting? The biggest headlines from the early vote were about long lines, long lines, long lines. Long lines are sometimes celebrated as a sign of high voter enthusiasm.

Long lines are sometimes celebrated as a sign of high voter enthusiasm. Pandemic safety protocols, a reduced number of polling sites, and poll worker shortages in some places also slow down the process. Sometimes technical glitches at voting sites cause delays, which ripple throughout the day. And observers often point to the hours-long wait times that many voters face as part of a pattern of voter suppression. Voters in many of America’s peer democracies don’t spend hours standing in line to cast their ballots, and US voting advocates believe reforms such as expanding early voting and standardizing some voting procedures and resources could ease wait times. That would also cut down on more nefarious suppression tactics, such as reducing the number of polling stations in minority neighborhoods.

Title: Why more than 80 million Americans won’t vote on Election Day - Vox

Why more than 80 million Americans won’t vote on Election Day
1) Voter registration is often harder in the United States
2) Many Americans simply don’t think voting matters
3) America’s particular political institutions may depress turnout
So what can be done to boost America’s voter turnout?

Content: There are ways to fix this: One 2013 study led by Barry Burden of the University of Wisconsin Madison found that allowing people to register on Election Day can boost turnout. And, given that voter fraud is basically a nonissue, we could get rid of the bewildering array of voter ID laws that often thwart people from voting. ( See this post for the many ways states try to restrict voting rights.) Still, Nickerson cautions that these efforts, while worthwhile, may not have a huge impact on the overall turnout rate. He has conducted experiments in which everyone in randomly assigned street blocks gets registered automatically. What he’s found, across variations of this experiment, is that for every 10 people who get registered, only about three people end up voting who would’ve otherwise abstained. That suggests registration hassles are only part of the reason people don’t vote. 2) Many Americans simply don’t think voting matters

Voting is undeniably an inconvenience, and there are all sorts of obstacles to casting a ballot, even if you’re registered.

That’s an interesting idea. Have you heard from other students and teens across the country, including other survivors of school shootings, who plan to join you in the marches and some of the other activism? David Hogg
Kids DM me on Instagram being like, “Hey, what can I do?” Form a march, form a protest. A kid is making videos near Columbine with survivors of that shooting, I believe. That’s just another example of, like, how this has to be us, our generation as teenagers. We can’t allow this to happen. What about our kids?

Content: But critics argue that the laws, by restricting voting, make it harder for minority voters in particular to cast a ballot. But a new study suggests that the laws, which require certain IDs to vote, may do neither. The study, from Enrico Cantoni at the University of Bologna and Vincent Pons at Harvard Business School, found that voter ID laws don’t decrease voter turnout, including that of minority voters. Nor do they have a detectable effect on voter fraud — which is extremely rare in the US, anyway. The implication: Despite the legal and political battles over voter ID laws, they don’t really seem to do much of anything. The researchers caution that their results “should be interpreted with caution” and that they “do not see our results as the last word on this matter — quite the opposite.” Still, the findings join a growing body of research that suggests voter ID laws have a much smaller effect than critics feared and proponents hoped. Democrats argue that the laws discriminate against minority and younger voters who are more likely to vote for Democratic candidates, because they’re less likely to have the money, transportation means, and flexible work hours needed to obtain a required ID. Republicans, on the other hand, insist that the measures are meant only to protect against voter fraud, although in some cases they’ve admitted that the intent is to make it harder for some groups to vote.

The study drew on multiple sets of data to evaluate the impact of voter ID laws. On voter turnout, the researchers drew on a data set from Catalist — which collects and sells voter registration and turnout records, as well as data for unregistered voters from data firms, retailers, marketing companies, and other commercial sources.

One possibility, the researchers acknowledge, is that voter ID laws do have some effect, but mobilization efforts against voter ID laws end up canceling it out — since, after all, these measures have become highly contentious among Democrats in particular. So the researchers tried to account for that, using data for people’s self-reported contacts from campaigns, donations to candidates, political meeting attendance, use of campaign signs, and campaign volunteering, all of which would suggest voter mobilization. There was no evidence that political mobilization went up significantly after voter ID laws. “We cannot fully reject the possibility that mobilization against the laws alleviated direct negative effects — that would require evidence on additional outcomes such as people’s feelings — yet we do not find any sign of it in available data,” the researchers found. Finally, the researchers turned to voter fraud. For this, they used two databases tracking voter fraud reported by the media and elsewhere — one from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and another from News21, a journalism project that the researchers described as “more liberal.” Their conclusion was straightforward: “ We find no significant effect in either dataset.” They also didn’t find a significant effect on perceptions of voter fraud — measured by how often people think voter fraud occurs and their beliefs that elections were fair. Simply put, voter ID laws seem to have no detectable effect on voter fraud, real or perceived.

Content: The researchers caution that their findings are not meant to be the final word. It’s possible that the results could be flawed — maybe the data sets for voter turnout are less complete than they believed, or the type of analysis they took on for this study isn’t the right model. The voter fraud databases in particular are, by their own admission, not comprehensive. Or maybe voter ID laws do have some effect, but the model the researchers used couldn’t detect it because it was just too small. This is also a working paper, so it’s likely to be reevaluated as it goes through a review process. Still, there’s other research to suggest that voter ID laws don’t have as much of an effect as people on both sides of the debate suggest. Other research suggests voter ID laws have limited to no effect
It’s good to be skeptical of single studies with surprising findings, but previous reviews of the research on voter ID laws are in line with what Cantoni and Pons’s study found. In 2017, Benjamin Highton, a political scientist at UC Davis, conducted the most thorough review of the research yet on voter ID laws. He tried to filter out the studies with weaker methodologies, putting more emphasis on those that were more rigorous. His conclusion:

Content: Still, those few voters who may be denied the right to vote are more likely to be minorities and Democrats, based on previous studies on voting data. That’s a problem, but apparently not one that impacts most elections — given that other research, like Cantoni and Pons’s study or Highton’s review, suggests the overall impact of voter ID laws on voter turnout is small to nonexistent. That doesn’t make voter ID laws okay — far from it
One reaction to this evidence is that it may justify voter ID laws. After all, if they don’t significantly reduce voter turnout, then what’s the harm if they can help combat voter fraud? But as Cantoni and Pons noted in their study, the evidence suggests that voter ID laws have no significant effect on perceived or actual voter fraud. That shouldn’t be surprising, because voter fraud is already incredibly uncommon in the US, especially the kind of fraud — voter impersonation — that ID requirements target. Loyola Law School professor Justin Levitt studied voter impersonation. He found 35 total credible accusations between 2000 and 2014, constituting a few hundred ballots at most. During this 15-year period, more than 800 million ballots were cast in national general elections and hundreds of millions more were cast in primary, municipal, special, and other elections.

Content: Lake St. Target, which got looted tonight, is literally Target’s experimental site for loss prevention & surveillance policies geared toward poor people. Very few people in the neighborhood like that Target,” security engineer Ian Coldwater explained in a tweet. “ It’s also why Lake Street Target is so consistently awful in different ways to all the other ones, it’s engineered to be that way.” Target denies this. “Target’s Lake St. store is not, nor has it ever been an experimental site for loss prevention and surveillance,” Target spokesperson Jessica Carlson told Recode. “ We use the same technology and tools in this location as we do across our stores. It’s a combination of technology, including cameras, as well as team members with extensive training to support guest and team members safety and store security.” Carlson added that the company has “never used any type of facial recognition in this location.” Others have dug into Target’s past to highlight the company’s work with the Minneapolis Police Department. The company offered the city “ financial and intellectual support ” for the city’s SafeZone program, which set up a network of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras all around downtown Minneapolis and gave radios to business owners for sharing issues in real time.

Content: The Seattle Times reported that those particular technologies, as well as “testing facial recognition software to prevent fraud and theft in a small number of stores,” were discontinued in 2018. Target confirmed this to Recode. “In 2018, we concluded a very short, small test of facial recognition software to understand its ability to help prevent fraud and theft,” Carlson, the Target spokesperson, said. “ We no longer use this technology in any of our stores.” Target CEO Brian Cornell addressed the situation at the Lake Street store in a statement on Saturday, though he didn’t specifically reference the looting. He pledged to rebuild the devastated store later this year, but he did not mention Target policies about working with police departments or its approaches to store security.

Title: Dollar Tree is closing almost 400 Family Dollar stores this year - Vox

Family Dollar was once considered “Amazon-proof.” Now it’s closing hundreds of stores.
The retail apocalypse has finally hit the dollar store.
Why Dollar Tree is struggling
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Content: The two stores used to be rival discount chains, but in 2015, Dollar Tree bought Family Dollar for $8.5 billion. The acquisition gave Dollar Tree a total of 13,000 stores total, in the US and Canada, with about $19 billion in yearly revenue. Folding these two companies together has not been easy, though, and analysts have said that Family Dollar has become more of a problem for Dollar Tree than a winning addition to its portfolio. With the announcement that it was closing almost 400 stores, the company reported a $2.3 billion loss. This most recent round of closures is just another addition to the pileup of brands shuttering stores, filing for bankruptcy, and going out of business. Brick-and-mortar stores are struggling, as they fail to face off with online competitors, and are stuck with tons of stores that have high rent prices. Even discount retailers like Dollar Tree, once hailed as the antidote to Amazon, must figure out how to keep stores afloat. Why Dollar Tree is struggling
There are a handful of discount retailers in the US, including Dollar General, 99 Cents Only, and Five Below. But while fellow off-price retail stores like T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s thrive on a chaotic environment, where stores are jam-packed with a sometimes disorganized array of discounted products, shoppers have pointed out that Dollar Tree and Family Dollar are often disappointing destinations. The chains are plagued with empty shelves and messy stores.

Content: In this sense, Prime was constructed to be great for the consumer (so efficient) and great for businesses (mindless impulse shopping!). … It doesn’t help that we’ve seen a slow dilution of Prime itself over time, with the rise of Prime Pantry and Add-on Items. They force you to buy a minimum number of items to get the best deal, adding back the very psychic burden Prime had eliminated from the equation of online shopping in the first place. Wilson’s complaints about Prime suggest a bait-and-switch strategy. Amazon got 100 million people to become Prime users by guaranteeing frictionless service, but now that it’s gotten a sizable chunk of the market hooked on quick, free shipping, it may be trying to cut delivery costs by scaling back on the very thing that got customers interested in the first place. Put another way, Prime is built on the idea that shopping should be frictionless; Amazon has now introduced a degree of friction that wasn’t there before, and some customers aren’t happy about it. This is not just around holidays. # AmazonPrime no longer means what we've been brainwashed to think it means. IMO all the other "benefits" stuffed into Prime are meant to distract customers as the core but expensive shipping promise is deliberately eroded https://t.co/4nM3HX40AI

“I can’t help but feel the frustration around how the false sense of shopping confidence is blown when Amazon simply uses the PRIME lockup as a gimmick,” one reader wrote in response to Wilson’s article. “

Content: It’s contributed to my mental health not being the best lately. I definitely had to get some therapy because of this.” TikTok has created a celebrity manufacturing machine that operates faster and more powerfully than any social media platform that has come before it, turning average teenagers into international stars in a matter of weeks, sometimes days. For many kids who’ve experienced it, it’s exhilarating — until it isn’t. TikTok fatigue is real, and it’s not only limited to those who get swept up in the hype. Now, even users who downloaded TikTok as a joke are saying they don’t know how to escape it. Here’s a pretty good example of how addictive and important TikTok is in the hierarchy of its most ardent fans’ smartphone apps: TikTok launched in the US in August of 2018, was downloaded 1.5 billion times worldwide in 2019, and is now so popular that it has to actively beg its users to log off. Through an account called @TikTokTips, the company has partnered with popular creators to share videos that remind viewers to drink water, talk to their friends, or go outside instead of spending another hour mindlessly scrolling through the app’s personalized For You page. Meanwhile, it’s also recently announced a new Family Safety Mode that allows parents to control their child’s screen time.

ENDNOTES
Content: BACKGROUND
For
years,
gun
violence
prevention
and
reduction
focused
primarily
on
topics
such
as
homicide
and
injury
rates,
the
relationship
between
perpetrator
and
victim,
improvements
in
emergency
care,
and
calculating
the
cost
to
society. Very
rarely
included
was
the
subject
of
how
gun
violence
more
broadly
impacts
the
individuals
and
affected
communities. And
as
community
violence
is
not
evenly
distributed
across
neighborhoods
in
the
United
States,
it
is
important
to
note
that
residents
who
experience
a
greater
share
of
the
types
of
events
that
comprise
community
violence
tend
to
be
people
of
color. While
community
violence
is
a
blanket
phrase
that
includes
a
variety
of
behaviors,
gun
violence
is
perhaps
the
most
prevalent. As
evidence
of
the
centrality
of
firearms
in
community
violence,
a
ranking
of
the
top
10
leading
causes
of
violence-related
deaths
in
2015
puts
homicide
involving
a
firearm
first
among
15-
to
34-year
-olds.1
And
a
ranking
of
the
10
leading
causes
of
violence-related
injury
deaths
lists
homicide
involving
a
firearm
as
the
number
one
cause
of
death
for
all
ages
combined
for
both
blacks
and
Hispanics.2
For
the
purposes
of
comparison,
overall
for
non-Hispanic
whites
homicide
with
a
firearm
ranks
fourth.3
Further,
analysis
of
homicide
victims
in
2015
reveals
that
83
percent
of
black
homicide
victims
were
killed
with
a
firearm.4
Given
that
the
most
recent
available
national
estimates
show
that
more
than
70
percent
of
injuries
involving
gun
violence
are
non-fatal,5
it’s
worthwhile
to
consider
the
impact
on
individuals
who
witness
or
survive
acts
of
violence. What
mark,
beyond
the
physical,
do
bullets
leave? These
questions
have
historically
been
the
domain
of
therapists
and
psychologists
left
to
manage
the
aftermath. However,
advances
in
recent
brain
science
research
have
bridged
these
two
worlds,
connecting
community
violence
with
short-
and
long-term
consequences
in
behavior,
health,
and
well-being. EMERGING
BRAIN
SCIENCE
Emerging
brain
science
research
has
become
a
growing
source
of
information
contributing
to
our
understanding
of
behavior
and
health
outcomes. The
1990s
are
often
referred
to
as
the
“Decade
of
the
Brain”
because
of
the
enormous
insights
into
how
the
brain
works
as
well
as
innovative
imaging
technology
that
now
allows
for
new
ways
to
visualize
the
brain.6
Further,
these
advances
have
led
to
more
sophisticated
techniques
for
examining
the
interaction
between
the
brain,
the
environment,
and
resulting
behavior.

Title: Robespierre: the Meaning of Virtue | VQR Online
Headings: Robespierre: the Meaning of Virtue
Robespierre: the Meaning of Virtue
By Francis Leary
Content: The merry meetings alleviated the sense of social insecurity which he had known since childhood. Left an orphan when his mother died and his father, a failed alcoholic lawyer, disappeared, Maximilien had been brought up by two maiden aunts. Like the aunts, he became prim, fastidious, abhoring bad language, always watering his wine and keenly sensitive to slights. He had also a devouring passion to excel. He made his mark in the debate over voting procedure, with Maximilien insisting that the other two Orders join the Commons in the great work of transforming France. The issue squarely confronted monarchy and Commons. The king ruled by divine right, while the Commons, of which more than half were lawyers, wanted a constitutional monarchy. By no means was there unanimity concerning reform. The young Austrian queen of France, 34 years old, with her coterie of nobles, higher clergy, and royal officials, was vehement against Necker’s democratic program. King Louis, fat, good-natured, and eager to please but irresolute and with the mind of an artisan bricoleur, was dominated by his proud Queen.

Robespierre: the Meaning of Virtue
By Francis Leary
Content: Relations cooled over whether the constitution should give the king a veto of legislation. Robespierre was decidedly against it, but Mirabeau was maneuvering to act as a secret conduit between the monarchy and the Assembly; he won the veto for the king. Robespierre was in his element when in August the Assembly whooped through the Declaration of the Rights of Man, inspired diversely by Rousseau, philosophes like Voltaire and Diderot, and the American Declaration of Independence. In an all-night session, the nobles, led by the due de Noailles, the beau-père of Lafayette, surrendered their feudal rights. In England, liberal reformers such as Charles James Fox and Richard Sheridan hailed these strides toward a consitutional monarchy as in Britain. The youthful English poet, William Wordsworth, then in Paris, hymned his praise: “ Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young were very heaven!” But it was a dawn of delusion. The king’s cousin, Philippe due d’Orléans, was busy spreading tales of orgies at the Court and troops assembling to massacre the starving people.

There are nine basic types of Track Shoes: Sprint spikes - Made for 100m to 400m sprints. They usually have no heel, very lightweight, and either a flexible, or stiff spike plate. Flexible plates are for 200-400, stiff plates help straight-line speed. Hurdling - 100m, 110HH, and 400H. Most hurdlers either use a flexible sprint spike or a middle distance spike because they have a small cushioned heel. Middle Distance - 800m to Mile. These shoes usually have a small cushioned heel and a small forefoot spike plate. They have a smaller footprint than distance spikes. Distance - 3000m to 10,000m. These spikes usually have fewer spikes in them and smaller spike plates but a full length cushioning.

A popped blood vessel in your eye may be alarming, but it’s nothing to fret over – and here’s why! When a blood vessel pops, it appears as a bright red patch on the white of the eye. The blood vessels in our eyes are very small and delicate. When broken, blood sits under the clear tissue that covers the white of an eye, or the conjunctiva. Other than the appearance of a red patch, the eye may feel full or heavy beneath the lid or have a mild irritation. Also known as a subconjunctival (sub-kon-junk-TIH-vul) hemorrhage, a popped blood vessel in the eye can look dreadful, but it actually is far less worrisome than it appears! The exact cause of a popped blood vessel remains unknown, though there are several instances that trigger a blood vessel to burst. Rapid increases in blood pressure, violent coughing, powerful sneezing, heavy lifting, or even intense laughing, could be to blame. Additionally, severe eye infections, eye or eyelid surgery, roughly rubbing an eye, or the use of blood-thinning medications or even aspirin, can all cause a blood vessel to erupt.

With all the possible causes, there is only one treatment for a burst blood vessel – time! Subconjunctival hemorrhages generally treat themselves, as the conjunctiva slowly absorbs the blood over time. Think of it like a bruise on the eye. Expect a full recovery within two weeks, without any long-term complications. Although eye drops will not repair the burst vessel, they can help soothe the heaviness or irritation.

Content: Fact-Finding Techniques
A database developer commonly uses several fact-finding techniques during a single database project. There are five widely used fact-finding techniques: Examining documentation
Interviewing
Observing the enterprise in action
Research
Questionnaires
Let us discuss in brief each of them: Examining documentation can be helpful when you try to gain some insight as to how the requirement for a database arose. You may also find that documentation can help to acquire information on the part of the enterprise associated with the problem. If the problem relates to the current system, there should have to be documents associated with that system. By examining documents, forms, reports, and files associated with the current system, you can quickly gain some thoughtful concepts out of the system. Interviewing is the most frequently used, and usually the most useful, fact-finding procedure used. We can interview to collect information from person face-to-face. There can be several objectives for using interviewing, such as finding out facts, verifying those facts, clarifying these released facts, generating enthusiasm, getting the end-user involved, identifying requirements, and gathering ideas and opinions.

Computer trade journals, reference books, and the Internet are good sources of information that can make available the vast quantity of information on how others have solved similar problems/issues plus whether or not any software packages exist to resolve or even partially solve your current problem. Questionnaires: Another fabulous fact-finding method is to conduct surveys through questionnaires.

Questionnaires are special-purpose documents that allow facts to be gathered from a large number of people while upholding some control over their responses. When dealing with a large number of listeners or audience, no other fact-finding technique can tabulate the same facts so efficiently. There are two types of questions that can be asked in a questionnaire, namely free-format and fixed-format. Free-format questions offer the respondent greater freedom inputting answers. Fixed-format questions require specific responses from individuals, and for the given question, the respondent must choose from the available answers.

Content: Looking back, I can see how much I’ve changed. I almost haven’t noticed the change, because it sneaks up on you, until it’s impossible to ignore. It’s like when you were a kid. You got taller, but you didn’t notice until you stood up against the wall with the marks. The same holds true for life changes. You are constantly changing, but it’s hard to notice until it pokes you in the ribs. It’s not even a question of if you’re changing; it’s a question of how you’re changing. Most people want change because they want to escape. But it doesn’t work.

A more extended trade receivable period will result in a delayed collection of cash, impacting the cash conversion cycle of the business. The importance of trade receivable is equally reinforced as most of the analysts while evaluating a business check receivables turnover ratio to understand the working capital management efficiency in collection of payments for credit sales undertaken by the business and also to derive bad debts incurred by the business. #2 – Inventory

Content: The reason for such accounting is because the company continues to use the building for its business operations and would continue to generate benefits for the company in the long term. Unless the company capitalizes any further cost, which will improve the structure, no further depreciation would be allowed to be charged to the asset and will be reported in this manner only at each balance sheet reporting date. If the company plans to sell out the building at the current market value, the entire accumulated depreciation would be written-off against the building & the gain on the sale of assets will be credited to profit & loss a/c as “gain on sale of assets” thus inflating the current years profit by the gain amount. Post this sale; the building will not be reflected in the balance sheet since the same has been sold to a 3 rd party. Conclusion
Thus there are rules and procedures laid down by the accounting bodies of every country to follow the accounting treatment for the fully depreciable assets so that all the companies are comparable to each other. The auditor of the company is required to give an opinion on the true & fairness of the company along with whether all the accounting policies laid down by the statutory bodies are followed by the company or not.

Regressive Tax Definition
Regressive tax refers to the system of the taxation under which all of the persons in the country are taxed at the same rate without giving the consideration to the income level of those persons due to which greater percentage of the income of the low-income group is charged as tax when compared with the high-income group in same country. It is a simple type of tax system to calculate tax, which is levied on all the citizens of the country irrespective of their income. Here every citizen should pay the same amount of tax. It is called regressive because the higher income group pays less tax than the lower income group people. The major part of the income is paid as a tax by the lower-income citizens. This type of tax is mostly not levied on the income tax. You are free to use this image on your website, templates etc, Please provide us with an attribution link

Content: But the problem is all the necessary spaces are also will get replaced along with it. For example, look at the below sentence in a cell. In the above sentence, we need one space character after each completed word to make the sentence proper. We have only one extra space after the word capital. In order to deal with these unwanted spaces problems, we have a built-in function called TRIM in Excel, which can remove all the unwanted spaces in excel cell. The syntax is very simple. We just need to select the required cell to be trimmed. The Trim function removes all the spaces except the single space after each word. Let’s apply the Trim formula in excel to remove all kinds of spaces in a cell. This trim function removed the spaces between “Capital” and “is.”

It is very easy to remove normal leading spaces in the excel cell. In the case of non-breaking leading spaces, the Trim function goes wrong. Look at the below image. Even after the Trim is applied, we don’t see the perfect sentence here. This is the problem with non-breaking leading spaces in an excel cell.

Improvement in the Credit Profile and Solvency of the Company
Use of Fixed Assets Efficiently
Ability to Face Crises
Expansion
Let us discuss these in detail one by one. #1 – Improvement in the Credit Profile and Solvency of the Company
If the company pays off the debts on time while generating revenues, then it ensures that the operating cycle of the company is properly funded, which will likely boost the credit score of the company. Whereas if the company is unable to repay its debts on time and still it is running the business with the low operating costs, then the creditors will try to get back their funds, and this would lead to a decrease in the credit score. The pre-requisite to the long-term solvency is the ability of the company to meet its short-term obligations. The adequate management of the working capital will help the business to pay all of its short-term obligations on a timely basis like the salary payment, payment against the purchase of the raw materials, and other such operating expenses of the company. Example
There is a company ABC Ltd. which pays all its loans, rent, and vendor bills on time; then this would increase the credit score of the company. This shows that how responsible management of the working capital can reward the company in the long-run.

Once the company has a high credit score, then it will also qualify for the business loan at a lower rate, making it easier for the company to procure finances easily in the future and leading the business in good financial standing. #2 – Use of Fixed Assets Efficiently
Proper management of the working capital and availability of adequate working capital all the time will enable the company to effectively and efficiently use the fixed assets present. In case because of the unavailability or paucity of working capital, the fixed assets of the company remains idle then in that case also the depreciation has to be charged, and the interest on capital borrowed is to be paid on fixed assets, i.e., the company has to incur the fixed expenses on the fixed assets unnecessarily even though it is not using it. So, with the help of working capital management, fixed assets can also be managed and used in an effective manner. Example
There is a company ABC ltd which is manufacturing and selling the pens in the market.

In the last month, it purchased the assets for increasing productivity and sales by borrowing the money from the market. The company, however, didn’t look into its working capital position. So even after purchasing the fixed assets, due to a lack of working capital, the company is unable to utilize its fixed assets properly to increase its production. Also, the company has to incur the depreciation charges and interest on the borrowed capital unnecessarily even though it is not using the fixed assets. If the company had managed the working capital properly, then this situation would not have arrived.

ABC Ltd has an effective mechanism for managing working capital and keeps funds for emergencies, whereas the XYZ ltd doesn’t have proper management of the working capital and doesn’t keep funds for an emergency. Suddenly situation of depression arises in the economy. Now, in that case, ABC Ltd will be able to continue its operation as it has proper management of the working capital whereas XYZ ltd will have to stop the production as it doesn’t have the working capital. Also, ABC ltd with adequate working capital can reap more amounts of benefits during this time due to a lack of working capital management by its competitor.

Content: For example, if all of Noodles & Co’s accrued expenses and payables are due next month, while all the receivables are expected 6 months from now, there would be a liquidity problem at Noodles. They’d need to borrow, sell equipment or even liquidate inventory. But the same negative working capital balance could be telling a completely different tale, namely of healthy and efficient working capital management, where accounts payables, accounts receivable and inventory are carefully managed to ensure that inventory is quickly sold and cash is quickly collected, allowing Noodles & Co to pay invoices as they come due and purchase more inventory without tying up cash and without skipping a beat. Further, Noodles & Co might have an untapped credit facility (revolving credit line) with sufficient borrowing capacity to address an unexpected lag in collection. In fact, here’s how Noodles & Co explains their negative working capital in the same 10Q: Our working capital position benefits from the fact that we generally collect cash from sales to customers the same day, or in the case of credit or debit card transactions, within several days of the related sale, and we typically have up to 30 days to pay our vendors. We believe that expected cash flow from operations, the proceeds received from the private placement transactions and existing borrowing capacity under our credit facility are adequate to fund debt service requirements, operating lease obligations, capital expenditures, the Restaurant Closing Liabilities, the Data Breach Liabilities and working capital obligations for the remainder of fiscal year 2017. In short, the amount of working capital on its own doesn’t tell us much without context. Noodle’s negative working capital balance could be good, bad or something in between. The operating cycle
Cash, accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable are often discussed together because they represent the moving parts involved in a company’s operating cycle (a fancy term that describes the time it takes, from start to finish, of buying or producing inventory, selling it, and collecting cash for it).

Content: Pick out several of the key words which would identify Internet posts on the topic. Type them into a search engine. On the results list, scan the URLs at the bottom of each entry. Look for the most reliable source listed. Search Google and other search engines like DuckDuckGo, as they often differ. At the bottom of the search page, if you find "repeat the search with the omitted results included," it may be worthwhile to click it to find more results. If you don't immediately find a good source, search both on the search engine's regular search page and its news search page. The regular search is more complete, but often has many entries from non-reliable sources. The news search page limits your search to more reliable news websites, but often misses key important sources. If the information you are searching is recent news, you might want to start on the news search pages.

Title: Transcending Tribal Mentality

Transcending Tribal Mentality

Tribalism in Relationships

Content: We support tribal belief patterns by directing a percentage of our life force into maintaining our affiliation with the tribe. This involves an implicit agreement to think like the tribe thinks, to evaluate situations and people the way the tribe does, and to believe in right and wrong according to tribal values and ambitions. As long as the tribal mentality within us remains unexamined, we unwittingly subject others to our tribal laws. When we are plugged into tribal thought forms, we can easily believe in nonsensical prejudices held by the tribe. Tribal mentality allows us to hold harsh, judgmental positions or attitudes about an entire group of people: " All fat people are lazy," or "all Irish are drunks," or "all Muslims are terrorists" for example. A rigid tribal thought form may have little truth to it, but individuals hold to such beliefs because that perspective is what the tribe has agreed to believe. Innocent children, born into the hatred and prejudice of their parents and ancestors, grow up inside a tribal mentality that sponsors an endless march toward war against the tribe's perceived enemies. People grow up hating other people – people they have never seen – based on group affiliation. This is the shadow side of the tribe.

Content: Overall we've found the sleep tracking to be more accurate, which is great, but chances are you're not going to want to wear a watch this size to bed…
What is pulse ox acclimation? The big new feature on the Garmin 5X Plus, not found on the other Plus watches, is what Garmin refers to as "pulse ox acclimation". Put simply, Garmin is using a pulse oximeter to take a measurement of your blood oxygen saturation (how much haemoglobin is carrying oxygen). If you've seen us talking about SpO2 before, it's the same thing. Measuring blood oxygen saturation can reveal many helpful insights, but while Fitbit is interested in using it for conditions like sleep apnea, Garmin has put it in the Fenix 5X Plus so you can keep an eye your saturation when scaling higher altitudes. This is what the new red light on the back of the 5X Plus is checking for. Your saturation will be displayed as a percentage; the higher the number shown on the screen, the better. Most people need this saturation level to be at least 89% to stay healthy, and at sea level the human body operates to its best potential. But at higher altitudes the amount of oxygen in the air decreases, which can have an effect on someone's SpO2.

The pulse ox acclimation feature is a way to see how your body is adjusting to higher altitudes by monitoring your blood oxygen levels. We haven't been able to scale any great mountains with the 5X Plus yet, but we did take it out hiking on some hills to see what would happen. The Pulse oximeter displays as one of the widgets from the home screen, which can be scrolled to using the buttons on the left hand side. It can be set to take readings automatically or manually but – and here's the thing – it requires you to be incredibly still in order to get a read. This is because any slight movements can interfere with the sensor.

This is standard fare for using this technology, but a problem when you choose to have the watch take acclimation readings automatically, as when we checked there were large gaps between readings, presumably because we hadn't been still long enough at any point. You can't add oxygen saturation to your data screens, so to see it while tracking an activity you'll need to have a hot key assigne

Content: So why is putting a pulse oximeter inside of a wearable a big deal? We explore what it is, how it works and what it's going to bring to the wearable party. What is a pulse oximeter/SpO2 sensor? When we talk about pulse oximeters or pulse oximetry, we are delving into the realm of medical tech and talking about a device that's able to measure oxygen levels or oxygen saturation in the blood. That tech used to take form of a clip-on device that you place on your finger, a toe or even on your ear lobe. Optical SpO2 sensors use red and infrared light sensors to detect your oxygen levels, sensing changes in those levels by looking at the color of your blood. It measures the volume of oxygen based on the way the light passes through your finger and delivers the data to the device's screen, which will tell you the percentage of oxygen in your blood. Why track blood oxygen? The Fitbit Estimated Oxygen Variation score
An oxygen saturation percentage greater than 95% is considered to be a normal reading. If you see a score of 92% or less, then it could be time to further investigate, and find out whether it's related to an as yet undetected health issue.

An oxygen saturation percentage greater than 95% is considered to be a normal reading. If you see a score of 92% or less, then it could be time to further investigate, and find out whether it's related to an as yet undetected health issue. John Hopkins Medicine explains how measuring oxygen levels through pulse oximetry can offer insights into a range of health related issues. It can be used to check whether someone needs assistance with their breathing via a ventilator, measure a person's ability to handle intensive physical activities, and it can also check whether you're experiencing breathing issues when sleeping. COVID-19 has put the focus on blood oxygen on the map, but actually, there are many less extreme reasons to keep an eye on blood oxygen levels. Athletes or people spending time at altitude will want to monitor blood oxygen levels. However, it's sleep apnea that really makes SpO2 a worthwhile sensor.

Content: Breathing rate is a new metric for Fitbit Premium subscribers, which offers extra data. As part of the Fitbit COVID-19 study, a change of breathing rate was shown to pre-empt symptoms, so it can be a useful metric to track. What's more, the company has launched a Fitbit Versa SpO2 watch face, which puts the information front-and-center. Read our guide to choosing the best Fitbit for your needs . Garmin SpO2 devices
Garmin has introduced pulse ox sensors into a large part of its range, with the Fenix 6X, Fenix 5X, Vivoactive 4 and Forerunner 245/645/945 all using an SpO2 sensor. In this instance the on-screen widget will offer a blood oxygen percentage, coupled with data on your altitude, to show the levels of oxygen in the blood. This is particularly useful for anyone that's into hiking, alpine sports and going on big expeditions. With elevation data you can view how oximeter readings are changing relative to your elevation. However, many wearables use pulse ox for a different reason: sleep apnea.

This can cause adverse health effects. The Garmin Vivosmart 4 able to log blood oxygen levels during sleep, and it's reported in your sleep data. However, the device stops short of alerting you to sleep apnea in particular, and you need to look at the data yourself. What's more, on many devices the pulse ox is turned off by default as it impacts battery life.

Meanwhile, the Union government had given up on protecting the rights of slave owners. They realized they had to face the controversial issue of emancipation – but only in the rebelling Southern states. In July 1862, Congress declared that any Confederate-owned slaves joining the Union would be emancipated. In September, Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation declaring that if the Southern states did not cease their fight, then all slaves in the Confederacy would be free with effect from January 1, 1863. To the Confederates, it was an attack on their property. Also, in placing the rights of slaves above those of owners, they believed the Union was precipitating a slave rebellion. Total war was one step closer.

Somewhere between 5 and 6 million troops were mutilated for life because of this. 20,000 lives were lost due to the introduction of poison gas being used on the battlefield. While this is a low number compared to the overall losses, it is still a significant amount of bodies. Military people were not the only lives lost because of WWI. Millions of civilians were casualties of the fighting. One million Armenians were slaughtered by Turkish forces. Some historians believe that close to 5 million people were killed in the Russian Civil war. The Spanish influenza epidemic broke out at the end of the war and this caused another 20 to 40 million deaths among the populace that already was suffering from deprivation.
