The role of an asset protection employee at CVS varies somewhat by location and level. Leaders and managers will create and implement anti-theft strategies for their assigned stores. While these employees are not on-site at CVS stores at all times, they do conduct site visits, investigate incidents, and work with local law enforcement when necessary. Coordinators are the daily field operators for loss prevention at CVS. These employees wear a CVS uniform and monitor for potential theft incidents. They also provide customer service on the sales floor, assist with security tagging, and help customers access locked items. Coordinators work closely with store managers, who are responsible for implementing loss prevention procedures, and are often assigned to more than one store so they are able to identify shoplifting trends in their district. Anti-Theft Devices and Monitoring
In addition to employing asset protection staff, CVS store associates also monitor for theft. And stores are equipped with security cameras. Monitoring security cameras is one of the job functions of the store manager. | https://firstquarterfinance.com/cvs-shoplifting-policy/ |

Each state has guidelines that define a specific dollar amount as the criteria for determining whether a shoplifting offense is a misdemeanor or a felony. For example, New York law states that a theft totaling under $1,000 is classified as a misdemeanor.

The charges and punishment for shoplifting are also determined by the shoplifting laws set by each state.

6 Reasons Leadership Training Should Be Essential for Every Business
November 1, 2017 By Alex Hamilton 25 Comments
As you’d expect, professionals look for companies that have a strong promote-from-within culture. They want to see opportunities to develop and grow towards leadership in their respective roles. Not only is leadership training of benefit to the employees, but it is also very beneficial to the company. By promoting your employees to leadership roles, you already understand their abilities, work ethic, and professional drive to succeed. However, if employees lack the necessary skill sets and training, promoting them to leadership roles can be risky and potentially result in their downfall. Your staff members might excel above expectations in their current roles, but they might be less successful in leadership roles. The reason why could be a lack of knowledge or experience. That’s why it is so important to provide leadership training to all employees. Leadership training helps them to understand the role of a leader, the tasks involved, and what it takes to be a good leader. Not only is leadership training great for future leaders but it’s also remarkably beneficial to current leaders. | https://growmap.com/reasons-leadership-training-business/ |

Content: Increased Productivity
By training your leaders in effective leadership skills, you can increase the productivity of your workforce. Leaders are there to provide direction to staff and ensure they are performing at or above expectations. It the case of a shortfall, the leaders you’ve trained will have the ability to assess problems, manage situations, and provide sensible solutions. 2. Nurture Future Leaders
Unfortunately, without adequate leadership training, it is hard for future leaders to be driven. Leaders are meant to be the thought powerhouses to which employees and associates turn for advice and direction. They need the abilities to communicate well and to inspire and encourage their colleagues. These qualities will increase productivity while providing your staff with a more enjoyable work environment. It’s important to train and nurture future leaders by providing them with progressive leadership training. You want your staff to develop the skills they need to fit the leadership roles that become available. | https://growmap.com/reasons-leadership-training-business/ |

College Safety for Women: 10 Smart Steps for New Students
by Grown and Flown | August 26, 2016
For Kathleen Baty, safety for women is a deeply personal topic. As a college student at UCLA, she received the first threats from a stalker whose criminal behavior escalated to a physical confrontation and arrest nine years later. Since then, she has worked to help bring about anti-stalking laws, in California and at the federal level, and has become a speaker and author. In her book, College Safety 101: Miss Independent’s Guide to Empowerment, Confidence, and Staying Safe, she offers guidance to collegiate women including these 10 steps that students can take to enhance their personal safety in a new and unfamiliar campus environment. Following is an excerpt: The College Safety Game Plan for New Students
Getting familiar with crime statistics is a great start to making your college experience both a fun and safe one, too. But once you have decided which school is best for you, there is still a set of fundamentals you must follow both on and around your campus to make sure you stay safe. | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

Read below for some basic guidelines, tips, tricks, ideas, and attitudes to adopt for your entry into your new life.

Be Camera Shy
Do not let your photo appear with your dorm name, address, phone number, or any other identifying info in campus directories that are available to the public. It is best to stay “incognito”, especially as a new student, you don’t want to be a target for businesses or organizations wanting to sell something or “take advantage” of the newbie. Only you should decide who knows where you live, eat, and sleep. | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

Participate in all freshmen orientations the school has to offer. It’s a great way to learn the ins and outs of the campus, from how the systems work to quickest routes to class.

Whether you’ll be traveling mainly by foot, bicycle, car, or public transit, take some time to get to know your way around. Learn how to get from dorm room to classroom and other parts of campus. Survey it block by block, and familiarize yourself with the immediate surrounding neighborhood, too. Make a mental note of where the blue-light phones—emergency phones that dial directly to security—are located. 4. | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

Make sure to let your parents and/or close friends know what your daily schedule is. Give them a copy of your class schedule and activities along with a list of important phone numbers like your RA, roommate, counselor and any other important contact numbers in case of an emergency. 5.

Be sure to program the number of your local campus police into your cell phone, as well as the city police station. Dialing 911 on your cell phone can sometimes direct you to a regional call station miles away. | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

Get a feel for what’s happening downtown. Lots of Universities have wonderful “College Towns” with great restaurants, coffee houses, etc. But, it still is a town or city . . . be aware of the areas or places that seem to attract the crazy or reckless crowd. Steer clear of those areas on a weekend night when things can get out of control quickly.

No matter where you are, on or off campus, you must always be aware of your surroundings. The more you are familiar with the area the less you become a target for criminals. Remember: Criminals look for the easiest target—that is generally someone who preoccupied, unsure, and generally unaware of who or what is around them. | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

Remember: If you are in a new town, it may show. The town is filled with people who are strangers to you, but at the same time, you are very familiar to them. When you and your new roomie go to Wal-Mart or Target for your brand-new matching bedding and stuff, be aware of the people around you; criminals in college towns are on the lookout for the newbies to victimize. Be sure no one is following you when you shop or when you head back to your dorm or apartment. 10. | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

Even though this chapter is about campus safety, I want to emphasize that crime against college students is not just perpetrated by other students and does not happen just on campus. You must remember that no school is a closed school. There are thousands of nonstudents who cruise on and off campus every day and night. It is very important to note that a lot of colleges and universities do not include parking garages in their reporting of campus crime statistics, whether on campus property or in town near campus lines, therefore there is no way to be sure of the crimes that occur in those places. A dark parking lot can be an unsafe environment, so I want to share these vital tips for when you are parking on campus and around town: | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

Campus police patrol these areas making things safer. Try to park in a highly trafficked area, not in a dark corner in the back of the garage. As you pull into the garage, scan the area for anything or anyone suspicious. Think ahead—make sure you park in a well-lit area if you plan on coming back to your car after dark. | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

Taking the time to be alert and aware getting from point A to point B is the key. Many crimes have happened to people who were distracted and not paying attention to their surroundings. I have watched countless surveillance videos of purse snatchers, abductors, and car thieves brazenly attacking their victims in parking lots and garages.

Kathleen Baty, a proud UCLA Alum, is the Founder and CEO of Safety Chick Enterprises, a firm whose mission is to change the way personal safety is embraced nationally. She believes that people do not respond to fear, but rather, by being empowered to make smart safety choices. In 1991, Kathleen, herself the victim of a kidnapping attempt at gun point by an obsessive stalker, teamed up with then California State Senator Ed Royce to pass the nation’s first anti-stalking law (SB2184). In 1997, she and now US Congressman Royce teamed up again to help pass the first Federal Anti-Stalking Law (H.R. 3230). | https://grownandflown.com/college-safety-women-steps-new-students/ |

6. Avoid Trying to Time or Predict the Market
7. Keep Realistic Return Expectations
8. Monitor Your Investments Regularly
Conclusion
Disclaimer
Content: While this seemed like the best thing to do, it was not an informed decision but an emotional reaction to a stressful situation. Within a couple of months, the markets have started recovering and on course to bounce back. While some companies suffered due to the economy coming to a standstill, stocks of fundamentally strong companies survived the crisis and began their path to recovery. If investors wouldn’t have panicked and analyzed the stocks that they need to sell and the ones that they should hold on to, their losses could have been curbed. Stock markets are volatile by nature. Hence, if you keep making investment decisions based on market volatility, you will always be exposed to the risk of buying/selling at the wrong time. So, a more prudent approach is to create an investment plan and stick to it while making minor changes based on data-driven analysis. Emotion-based decisions are usually counterproductive. 3. Diversify
Smart investors are constantly looking for ways to earn better returns while reducing risks. | https://groww.in/blog/best-share-market-tips-you-should-know/ |

Content: The Executive Branch
In many political forums, a lot of attention is focused on the office of president of the United States. However, the person holding this important office is merely one component of the executive branch. Consisting of the president, vice president, and members of the Cabinet, this branch of the government is responsible for enforcing legislation that has been created by the legislative branch. With its power centralized in the office of the president, who serves as the head of state and commander-in-chief, this branch is responsible for both the general and daily implementation of these laws. The President and Vice President
The president can appoint members of the Cabinet, nominate Supreme Court justices, and appoint the directors of federally controlled agencies such as the DEA and FBI. However, these appointments must be confirmed by the legislative branch in order for them to take effect. The president is also responsible for vetoing or signing bills into law and may only distribute executive orders for the purpose of interpreting existing legislation or as a means of directing the members of the Cabinet. As the commander-in-chief, the president issues orders to the various branches of the military, and they have the power to negotiate treaties and appoint ambassadors. The vice president’s primary role is to assume the duties of the presidency should the president become temporarily or permanently unable to do the job. The vice president also presides over the Senate and can vote when there is a tie. | https://gspm.online.gwu.edu/blog/the-three-branches-of-government/ |

Content: If two entities are found to be joint employers, all of their common employees must be counted in determining whether paid sick leave must be provided under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act, and expanded family and medical leave must be provided under the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act. According to the DOL FAQs, in general, two or more entities are separate employers unless they meet the integrated employer test under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). If two entities are an integrated employer under the FMLA, then employees of all entities making up the integrated employer will be counted in determining employer coverage for purposes of paid sick leave under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act and expanded family and medical leave under the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act. Public Employers
Paid Sick Leave
In general, according to the DOL, public agencies and other units of government are covered by the emergency paid sick leave requirements of FFCRA, including the U.S. government and the government of a state, the District of Columbia, a U.S. territory or possession, a city, a municipality, a township, a county, a parish or a similar entity. However, the DOL notes that the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has the authority to exclude some categories of U.S. government executive branch employees from taking certain kinds of paid sick leave. Family and Medical Leave
According to the DOL FAQs, in general, non-federal public agencies are covered by the expanded FMLA leave requirements. For example, state governments, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories and possessions, cities, municipalities, townships, counties, parishes or similar entities would be covered. However, most federal government agencies are not covered by the FMLA expansion, for the reason that most federal employees are covered by Title I of the FMLA, while the FFCRA amended only Title II of the FMLA. In addition, as with paid sick leave, the OMB has the authority to exclude some categories of U.S. government executive branch employees from expanded and family medical leave. The DOL FAQs indicate that additional FAQs about public sector employers will be forthcoming. | https://gtm.com/business/guidance-for-employers-covered-by-ffcra-paid-leave/ |

Content: To maintain its hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, the U.S. intervened in Guatemala in 1954 and removed its elected president, Jacobo Arbenz, on the premise that he was soft on communism. Why was the United Fruit Company controversial? In 1901, the government of Guatemala hired the United Fruit Company to manage the country’s postal service and in 1913 the United Fruit Company created the Tropical Radio and Telegraph Company. … In 1933, concerned that the company was mismanaged and that its market value had plunged, Zemurray staged a hostile takeover. Why did the CIA get involved in Guatemala? President Arbenz planned to disrupt the power of UNFCO and the influence they had in Guatemala. The threat of communism spreading throughout Latin America gave the CIA the support to overthrow the Guatemala government without disrupting the United Fruit Company and their products.

Who We Are
Content: This does not even include other related industries that are a part of the greater medical and recreational marijuana industry, such as growers, doctors, and so forth. This has helped many local economies thrive due to the effects of the legal marijuana industry. Jobs are created through this booming industry, which then generates profits to pay wages for those employees, who then spend some of their paychecks at local grocery stores, retail stores, and local restaurants. Then, all of these marijuana businesses pay endless amounts of money in state and local taxes – much of which is utilized to fund major state projects and even scholarships. In addition, these same businesses lead to benefits for the real estate and construction industry. All in all, the unrealized potential for economic benefits on a state level are almost unbelievable, but in the end, this will be one of the major selling points to convincing more states – and maybe even the federal government – to legalizing medical and recreational marijuana. Booming business growth inherently comes with increased job generation. The Marijuana Business Factbook 2017 has shown that the United States cannabis industry is responsible for 165,000 to 230,000 full and part time workers, quickly surpassing employment rates in other business sectors such as dental hygienists and bakers – and the marijuana industry is quickly on track to surpass telemarketers and pharmacists. A report from New Frontier Data has even shown that by 2020, the legal cannabis sector is expected to create more than a quarter of a million jobs – which is more than manufacturing, utilities, or government job prospects for the future. These numbers are astounding, especially when considering the legal pot industry is a relatively new sector; | https://gudcapital.com/cannabis-business-loans-dispensary-financing-and-marijuana-industry-investment/ |

Content: Fertilization of gametes produces a diploid zygote. The zygote grows and develops into a mature sporophyte, and the cycle repeats. This diagram represents the life cycle that generally characterizes plants. One of the two generations of a plant’s life cycle is typically dominant to the other generation. Whether it’s the sporophyte or gametophyte generation, individuals in the dominant generation live longer and grow larger. They are the green, photosynthetic structures that you would recognize as a fern, tree, or other plant (see Figure below). Individuals in the nondominant generation, in contrast, may be very small and rarely seen. They may live in or on the dominant plant. The dominant generation in nonvascular plants is the gametophyte; in vascular plants, it’s the sporophyte. | https://guesthollow.com/biology/16-3-variation-in-plant-life-cycles/ |

Working with Audio and Video Overview
While how you insert a movie or sound file is similar to inserting a picture (go to the Insert Ribbon and click on the Video or Audio icon), how PowerPoint deals with these files is different. Unlike an image file, which is embedded into your presentation, media clips are linked, and so you must retain the media clip and move it as well if you move your presentation. For this reason, we recommend that you always store the media clips in the same location as the presentation that will use them; that way, if you move the presentation, you can move the media file and keep it in the same relative location to the presentation. Also, be sure that the computer you’re using has speakers. If you are in a large room, make sure that you can hook your computer to the in-room audio, or no one will be able to hear your video! File Types
While it’s true that the media file is linked to the PowerPoint presentation, if you use one of the formats described below, it will still display on the PowerPoint slide – if you don’t use one of these formats, you can hyperlink to the file and play it outside of PowerPoint (in QuickTime Player, for example). Then, after you finish showing the clip, you’ll need to get back into PowerPoint to continue your presentation. For longer clips, you may want to just play it directly from the DVD. Not all audio and video file types work in PowerPoint, and many are not cross-platform, so you need to know what computer you are using (Mac or Windows) as well as what additional software is available if you are presenting on a computer that is not your own. | https://guides.lib.umich.edu/c.php?g=283149&p=1886375 |

1966: Miranda v. Arizona
"Prior to any questioning, the person must be warned that he has a right to remain silent, that any statement he does make may be used as evidence against him, and that he has a right to the presence of an attorney, either retained or appointed." —Chief Justice Earl Warren
Earl Warren, 1891. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. In a 5-4 Supreme Court decision Miranda v. Arizona (1966) ruled that an arrested individual is entitled to rights against self-discrimination and to an attorney under the 5th and 6th Amendments of the United States Constitution. Miranda v. Arizona (1966) culminated in the famed “Miranda rights” requirement during arrests. On March 13, 1963, police arrested Ernesto Miranda on charges of rape and kidnapping after a witness identified him in Phoenix, Arizona. During his two-hour interrogation, police did not advise Miranda on his constitutional rights to an attorney nor against self-incrimination. | https://guides.loc.gov/latinx-civil-rights/miranda-v-arizona |

Arizona (1966) culminated in the famed “Miranda rights” requirement during arrests. On March 13, 1963, police arrested Ernesto Miranda on charges of rape and kidnapping after a witness identified him in Phoenix, Arizona. During his two-hour interrogation, police did not advise Miranda on his constitutional rights to an attorney nor against self-incrimination. Nonetheless, he signed a written confession affirming knowledge of these rights and admitting to crimes. This confession led to a June 27, 1963 conviction of rape and kidnapping as well as a robbery pending on Miranda’s record. Judge McFate sentenced Miranda to a maximum fifty-five years in prison. Miranda’s lawyer, Alvin Moore, appealed the case to the Arizona Supreme Court, which reaffirmed the lower court’s decision, arguing that police had not violated Miranda’s constitutional rights in procuring a confession without the presence of a lawyer. The Supreme Court ruled differently on June 13, 1966. | https://guides.loc.gov/latinx-civil-rights/miranda-v-arizona |

Content: It held that presenting Miranda’s confession as evidence violated his constitutional rights under the 5th and 6th Amendments. The 5th Amendment protects from self-incrimination and requires the police to inform the detainee about his or her rights while the 6th guarantees criminal suspects rights to a personal or state issued attorney. Chief Justice Earl Warren articulated that the court permitted confessions or self-incriminating statements in criminal trials only when suspects issued them deliberately after police inform of their rights. Miranda v. Arizona (1966) included four dissenters and three separate dissenting opinions. After Arizona’s ruling was overturned, the state court retried the case without presenting Miranda’s confession. They convicted him of the same charges, and sentenced him to a maximum 30 years in prison. Four years after his release on parole, a killer, who did receive his Miranda rights, stabbed Miranda to death. The Four Miranda Warnings

In 1979 the U.S. and China reestablished diplomatic relations and signed a bilateral trade agreement. This gave a start to a rapid growth of trade between the two nations: from $4 billion (exports and imports) that year to over $600 billion in 2017. Until February 2019 China was the largest trade partner of the United States, and currently is in third place after Canada and Mexico while it remains the biggest source of imports. China’s exports to the U.S. over the decades have changed from low-value, labor-intensive products to more capital intensive goods. It is now one of the U.S.’s major suppliers of advanced technology products and global supply chains involving China and the U.S. are complex. | https://guides.loc.gov/us-trade-with-china |

Headings:
Content: Teaching and Learning as Allies in the Classroom by Kim Case (Editor) Although scholarly examinations of privilege have increased in recent decades, an emphasis on privilege studies pedagogy remains lacking within institutions. This edited collection explores best practices for effective teaching and learning about various forms of systemic group privilege such as that based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, and class. Formatted in three easy-to-follow sections, Deconstructing Privilege charts the history of privilege studies and provides intersectional approaches to the topic. Drawing on a wealth of research and real-life accounts, this book gives educators both the theoretical foundations they need to address issues of privilege in the classroom and practical ways to forge new paths for critical dialogues in educational settings. Combining interdisciplinary contributions from leading experts in the field-- such as Tim Wise and Abby Ferber-- with pedagogical strategies and tips for teaching about privilege, Deconstructing Privilege is an essential book for any educator who wants to address what privilege really means in the classroom.

Content: Unaffordable Housing
Inability to afford housing can is a large contributor to homelessness. In Minnesota, in 2018, 56% of individuals experiencing homeless reported that they could not find affordable housing. Affordable housing is lacking, leaving many without options. Low Income
People with low incomes may have to choose between paying rent and other necessities, such as food, transportation, healthcare, and childcare. These can add up and prevent people from being able to make ends meet. Loss of Employment
When a person loses their job, they’re going to struggle to pay rent. In 2019, it was estimated that 78% of people in the U.S. live paycheck to paycheck. That means that losing a steady income, even for a short amount of time, can be devastating. Safety
Unexpected life events can cause homelessness, such as falling out with family or roommates or experiencing domestic violence. It’s estimated that 38% of people who experience domestic violence will also experience homelessness. | https://guildservices.org/how-do-people-become-homeless/ |

It’s estimated that 38% of people who experience domestic violence will also experience homelessness. In 2018, 38% of homeless Minnesotans reported that fear for their safety caused them to lose their housing. Nearly half of women experiencing homelessness reported leaving housing due to safety issues, versus 29% of men experiencing homelessness. Domestic violence can force people to choose between homelessness and staying in an abusive relationship, a choice no one should have to make. Incarceration
29% of Minnesota adults experiencing homelessness report that their criminal background has prevented them from obtaining housing. Previously incarcerated individuals may not receive help getting housing prior to release.. Additionally, getting a job is more difficult for those with a criminal record, impacting their ability to pay rent. | https://guildservices.org/how-do-people-become-homeless/ |

No, Unlike other small animals like ferrets and rabbits, they don’t need any vaccination for any disease. The diagnosis of guinea pigs in the past shows no fatal diseases; thus, the need for immunization doesn’t exist. But just because they needn’t be immunized doesn’t mean they don’t need regular veterinary care. Guinea pigs do need a regular veterinary checkup once in a few months.

Why Marshall Plan was so important
Content: Officially known as the European Recovery Programme and passed by the US Congress in March 1948, the Marshall Plan provided unequal sums of money to an impoverished Western Europe, stopping a humanitarian disaster and helping spur long-term economic recovery. Speaking to his Harvard audience about the deprivation and wanton suffering in Europe, Marshall came to the crux of his speech: “ It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace.” On this, the 70th anniversary of a momentous US foreign policy milestone, here’s why the Marshall Plan had such an enduring legacy for US-European relations: n 1. Europe was still a mess. The war may have ended in May 1945, but Europe remained in tatters in spring 1947. The US had already provided vast sums of aid, but it was not creating the recovery needed. As one historian said, “Production had stalled, trade languished, and Europeans lacked the dollars to purchase urgently needed American goods. Acute shortages of food and fuel were exacerbated by a crippling summer 1946 drought and a bitterly cold winter.” | https://gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds/why-marshall-plan-was-so-important-1.2040042 |

As one historian said, “Production had stalled, trade languished, and Europeans lacked the dollars to purchase urgently needed American goods. Acute shortages of food and fuel were exacerbated by a crippling summer 1946 drought and a bitterly cold winter.” As Marshall hammered home in his speech, without urgent US aid, Europe would “face economic, social and political deterioration of a very grave character”. Subsequent congressional trips to Europe in fall 1947 brought the acute suffering home to members of Congress sceptical of American internationalism on such a large scale, converting several to support the plan. n 2. The Marshall Plan was one piece in the larger Cold War puzzle. Although Truman administration officials believed true peace would come only once Europe was rebuilt and the region was set upon a solid path for the future, fears of growing Communist and Soviet influence in Western Europe also were a motivating factor. | https://gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds/why-marshall-plan-was-so-important-1.2040042 |

The Cold War was in full swing by 1947, with the Truman Doctrine announced in March, and US aid to Greece and Turkey dispatched to combat internal struggles against communist forces. Key Western European nations such as Italy and France had large left-leaning political parties. US officials feared that continued economic stagnation would lead to socialist and Communist victories in upcoming elections, leading to Soviet partners in the heart of Western Europe. These officials believed that by shoring up the economic base of these nations - providing citizens with livelihoods based on the Western democratic model — voters would reject leftist parties at the polls.

Why Marshall Plan was so important
Content: From 1948 to 1952, the US provided more than $13 billion (Dh47.81 billion) in aid to 16 nations. As one historian said, “The United States funds performed a dazzling array of tasks, helping to rebuild Italy’s Fiat automobile plant, modernizing mines in Turkey, and enabling Greek farmers to purchase Missouri mules.” Over the previous decade, from 1938 to 1947, Europe’s standard of living had dropped precipitously, with West Germany seeing a 15.4 per cent decrease, Italy 25.8 per cent, and Austria 39.5 per cent. Under the first three years of the Marshall Plan, gross national product in these nations grew 33.5 per cent. All the more important, the aid and growth during this period spurred tremendous economic growth throughout the decades to come. The standard of living in participating countries grew almost 150 per cent over the next three decades, and the strong economic base that the Marshall Plan provided also benefited the United States, leading to significant US export growth to Western Europe. n 4. The plan helped spur European integration. Many in the Truman administration were hoping to replicate America in Europe, creating a type of “United States of Europe”. The first steps in this process were actually launched in Marshall’s speech itself, when he called on the Europeans to come together to hash out their priorities and needs on their own. | https://gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds/why-marshall-plan-was-so-important-1.2040042 |

The first steps in this process were actually launched in Marshall’s speech itself, when he called on the Europeans to come together to hash out their priorities and needs on their own. The 16 participating European nations met to discuss a comprehensive plan a little more than a month after Marshall’s speech. While certainly not the only factor driving Europeans toward integration, as Marshall Plan scholar Michael Hogan notes, the plan “helped to set the Europeans on a road that led from the economic autarky of the 1930s to the Common Market of the 1960s”. Likewise, many of these same nations would sign the Brussels Treaty of 1948 on mutual defence, the precursor to the formation of Nato the following year. Ultimately, the Marshall Plan was one of several components that drove European recovery. It also created a vast well of goodwill between the United States and Europe. | https://gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds/why-marshall-plan-was-so-important-1.2040042 |

Should More Gun Control Laws Be Enacted? Last updated on: 8/7/2020 | Author: ProCon.org
The United States has 120.5 guns per 100 people, or about 393,347,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita number in the world. 22% of Americans own one or more guns (35% of men and 12% of women). America’s pervasive gun culture stems in part from its colonial history, revolutionary roots, frontier expansion, and the Second Amendment, which states: “ A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Proponents of more gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for militias; that gun violence would be reduced; that gun restrictions have always existed; | https://gun-control.procon.org/ |

Content: America’s pervasive gun culture stems in part from its colonial history, revolutionary roots, frontier expansion, and the Second Amendment, which states: “ A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Proponents of more gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for militias; that gun violence would be reduced; that gun restrictions have always existed; and that a majority of Americans, including gun owners, support new gun restrictions. Opponents say that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own guns; that guns are needed for self-defense from threats ranging from local criminals to foreign invaders; and that gun ownership deters crime rather than causes more crime.

The Second Amendment is not an unlimited right to own guns. In the June 26, 2008 District of Columbia et al. v. Heller US Supreme Court majority opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia, LLB, wrote, “Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited… nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.” [ 3] On June 9, 2016 the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 7-4 that “ [t]he right of the general public to carry a concealed firearm in public is not, and never has been, protected by the Second Amendment,” thus upholding a law requiring a permitting process and “good cause” for concealed carry licenses in California. [ 145][ 146] A 2018 study found that 91% of the 1,153 court cases with claims stating a government action or law violates the Second Amendment between the 2008 DC v. Heller decision and Feb. 1, 2016 failed. [ 157]

Content: between 2001 and 2012 6,410 women were killed with a gun by an intimate partner in the United States. [ 10][ 12] A 2003 study of 23 populous high-income countries found that 86% of women killed by firearms were in the United States and American women are 11.4 times more likely to be the victims of gun homicides [ 13] 57% of mass shootings involved domestic violence. [ 11][ 14] For example, the 2011 mass shooting at a Seal Beach, CA hair salon reportedly began because of the shooter’s custody battle with his ex-wife who was a hair stylist at the salon. [ 11][ 8] 31 states do not ban convicted misdemeanor stalkers from owning guns and 41 states do not force convicted domestic abusers from relinquishing guns they already own.

Content: And another thing to consider is the battery life. Turrets
Elevation and windage turrets for .300 Blackout is more of a set and forget type. The important thing for it are that they’re easy to enough to zero, holds zero and don’t adjust unintentionally. Zero resettable, tactile and audible clicks features are nice to have features. Eye Relief and Eyebox
Eye Relief – Standard rifle scopes have 3” to 4” of eye relief. This helps prevent the scope hitting your eye due to recoil. Fortunately, the .300 blackout kick is not that strong and scopes with 2.5” – 3” eye relief is acceptable. Eye Box – The more important factor is the eyebox. This is the amount of eye placement wiggle room for full sight picture from the scope. It leads to faster target acquisition. | https://gungoal.com/optics/scopes/best-scope-for-300-blackout/ |

History
Cobray was founded in 1978 by husband and wife Wayne and Sylvia Daniel after the acquisition of RPB Industries, the parent company of the Military Armament Corporation, and the rights to the design of the MAC 10 machine pistol by Wayne Daniel. Daniel would then begin designing his version of the MAC 10 pistol, naming it the M-10. Selling it for some USD 300, the M-10 was a rather popular product from Cobray; the company would continue selling the M-10 and its companion weapon, the M-11, until the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives decided to intervene. The ATF initially approved the production of the M-10 and 11, although production was later reassessed on account of the weapon's ability to be illegally converted to be able to fire fully automatically; production was eventually banned in 1982. Daniel attempted to sue the ATF but lost the suit. After losing the suit, Daniel dissolved RFD Industries and placed a new company, SWD Inc., under the control of his ex-wife, Sylvia. | https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/Cobray |

How to Buy Japanese Seaweed
Content: Healthy, low-calorie, packed with fiber, minerals and flavor, Japanese seaweeds are used in everything from preparing dashi broth, to salads, soups and wrapping sushi rolls. Here’s a guide to the seaweeds that are commonplace in both Japanese restaurants and homemade Japanese meals, so that you can enjoy these delicious and nutritious alternatives to land-based green vegetables. What is Nori? Nori, or dried laver, is perhaps the most familiar seaweed to people outside of Japan, as it is the variety used to make sushi rolls. Nori is almost always eaten dried, and is sold in sheets or strips for making sushi, wrapping onigiri (rice balls), and for eating plain as a snack. Dried nori sheets are produced by pressing shredded edible red algae into thin sheets and drying it, similar to the process of paper making. Other forms of nori include kizami nori (shredded nori), for garnishing dishes such as donburi (rice bowls), and aonori (powdered nori), used as a condiment on foods such as okonomiyaki and yakisoba. Flavored nori (ajitsuke) is also available, with common flavorings including soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil. What is Kombu? Kombu is a variety of bull kelp gathered mostly off the coast of Hokkaido in northern Japan. | https://gurunavi.com/en/japanfoodie/2016/05/seaweed.html |

Kombu is a variety of bull kelp gathered mostly off the coast of Hokkaido in northern Japan. It has a tough, leathery texture that must be rehydrated before use. Packed with calcium and iron and a savory umami flavor, kombu is one of the main components of dashi broth, an essential ingredient in almost all Japanese dishes. In addition to being used for stock, kombu can be cooked in “tsukudani” style, where it is caramelised in soy sauce, sake, and sugar until the color darkens and the texture becomes soft and chewy. This type of kombu is a popular filling for onigiri, a topping on rice, and addition to salads and vegetables. Kombu can also be used to prepare a type of tea—kombu-cha—where dried kombu pieces are steeped in water. | https://gurunavi.com/en/japanfoodie/2016/05/seaweed.html |

How to Buy Japanese Seaweed
Content: Wakame is typically sold in big bags of leafy dried seaweed that appear black when dried, but become green again when reconstituted with water. Mekabu may be difficult to buy outside of Japan, but can sometimes be found in health food stores and online retailers, most often in dried form, and can be either sold whole or shredded. Nori can be found almost anywhere—look for whole sheets for making sushi rolls, individually packaged strips for snacking, and shredded or powdered nori for decorating dishes. Hijiki is typically sold dried and packaged in bags, and has an appearance like black tea. Kanten is sold in stick, powder, and flake form, and all forms are equally as effective for producing jellied dishes. If you’re interested in Japanese food or want to eat more healthily, then you should definitely try the wide variety of seaweeds available in Japanese cuisine. It’s easy to start with something familiar like nori, which you may have already eaten in sushi rolls, and then move on to wakame in miso soup, before trying the slimy-textured mekabu or unique-looking hijiki. Once you get a taste for Japanese seaweed, you won’t be able to stop. Itadakimasu! Japan's Largest Gourmet & Restaurant Guide

Yogurt... The Probiotic Cure for Diarrhea

Probiotics Work and Yogurt is a Good Source

The Takeaway
Content: Don't worry, we'll explain everything. Yogurt... The Probiotic Cure for Diarrhea
Probiotics are the term coined for what we refer to as "good" bacteria, in which we are just talking about bacteria that resides in our guts and that is beneficial for our health. There are trillions of microscopic bacteria in our guts and these guys help break down food, provide us with nutrients that are essential for our health, fight against harmful bacteria that can cause disease, and more. Probiotics have long been consumed in the East but didn't start becoming more popular for health reasons in the West until much more recently. Studies
A large meta-analysis published in the Chochrane Database of Systemic Reviews looked at 63 studies with a total of 8014 participants who suffered from acute diarrhea and had been treated with probiotics. The results showed that overall probiotics reduced the duration of diarrhea and gave no adverse side effects. Another meta-analysis performed on the probiotic effects on diarrhea in children included 4 trials with 464 total participants and found that probiotic treatment reduced diarrhea duration by 4.02 days on average. Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus are two characteristic bacterial cultures found in yogurt, according to MilkFacts.info and other sources, and both have been found to be beneficial (based on early stage research). Lactobacillus bulgaricus is thought to be able to help treat certain kinds of diarrhea and conditions associated with diarrhea, such as IBD (source: Healthline) and Streptococcus thermophilus has been found to be effective in some cases, such as a study on antiobiotic-associated diarrhea in which Streptococcus thermophilus intake caused a significant decrease of the problem. | https://gutadvisor.com/yogurt-and-diarrhea/ |

Probiotics Work and Yogurt is a Good Source
While there are a still a lot of unknowns and results from taking probiotics vary greatly, due to the many different strains and other variables, the overall conclusion is that they do indeed work... and that yogurt is a darn good natural source of such. The origins of yogurt aren't well known, but it is believed that it dates back to around 5,000 BC in Mesopotamia where it was referred to as the "food of the gods". It was likely discovered by accident when milk was stored in warm climates, which would lead to fermentation by lactic acid bacteria which feed off the sugars in milk. Probiotics occur naturally in yogurts, but that's not the only upside. The big reason yogurt (and other fermented milk products like kefir) is such a good source of probiotics is because of its ability to help neutralize stomach acid, which is why it's one of the better probiotic choices on our list of 16 foods for good gut flora. | https://gutadvisor.com/yogurt-and-diarrhea/ |

As much as the growth of industries may be a good thing, there is the real danger of emissions that are causing climate change and global warming which will surely affect the overall world climate setting. Climate change concerns will therefore be an element to consider in the future. Lack of social life
With social networks taking over, social life and the balance that it brought will slowly be phased out which is a major worry. Generation Z will lack social skills which means they will surely become detached and emotionally unavailable. The decline of natural resources
The greed for money and the desire for exploration has ensured that all natural resources are explored to a point where they are slowly become depleted. The exploitation means that generation Z will face a challenge in finding the natural resource base to balance production. Environmental degradation
Waste management has become a factor to consider for millennials and generation Z are right in the thick of it. | https://guttulus.com/challenges-will-generation-z-face-future/ |

4. Coining the American Greenback dollar
“The almighty dollar,” that most American of institutions, was first printed under Abraham Lincoln in 1863. The U.S. Note currency, devised to finance the Civil War, is the immediate precursor to the present-day dollar. Astonishing though it may seem today, before Lincoln started printing the greenback dollar there was no federal currency in America. Numerous local currencies were issued by banks; in principle you could redeem your money for precious metals at the specific bank where it was issued. Andrew Jackson had set this stage when, in populist fury, he revoked the charter of the national bank 30 years earlier. The War made the dollar. Lincoln realized that borrowing from banks was inefficient and insufficient to fund the Union army. By printing its own bills, the government could have unlimited access to money at a favorable rate. | https://guycounseling.com/abraham-lincoln-accomplishments/ |

Pressed by war to raise funds, Lincoln explored his options under the Constitution and created America’s first ever income tax in 1861. To this point, America was financed through tariffs, bonds, and other taxes. This first ever income tax rate was a 3% flat tax on all income over $600. This was soon changed to a progressive scale where, based on income level, citizens paid either 5%, 3%, or no money at all. Lincoln’s income tax also started the policy of withholding taxes from worker’s pay. Taxes without collection and enforcement don’t produce revenue, so Lincoln also created the Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, which became the storied IRS. | https://guycounseling.com/abraham-lincoln-accomplishments/ |

The income tax has lived on as the principle means of funding the federal government. What’s interesting is that Mr. Lincoln died at 7:22 am on April 15. As you may know, April 15 happens to be the official deadline for filing federal taxes. Lincoln started the U.S. Secret Service

Principles for society
Content: People behave as independent agents with their money, which causes confusion and inefficiency about whether people are independent of each other or not. There tends to be endless argument about where individualism ends and social concerns take over. Monetary systems always go to situations of a few rich and many poor, and this is not an efficient use of resources. There tends to be constant friction of wage slaves revolting in either passive aggressive or overtly aggressive ways, which can be a serious waste of resources. While competition is a normal part of life, monetary systems often take this competition too far. Within a society, competition can sort out what person is best suited for particular jobs, and everyone benefits in the end to have this done properly. But if competition hurts potentially valuable people, everyone is hurt by this loss. When only a few people win huge amounts of control over resources with money, it is clear that statistically, such winner take all systems are likely to be hurting others with good abilities. In addition, winning this control can involve luck more than merit. It very often comes from exploiting resources unsustainably, including human resources. | https://guymcpherson.com/2011/06/principles-for-society/ |

In addition, winning this control can involve luck more than merit. It very often comes from exploiting resources unsustainably, including human resources. Being rich may also have nothing at all to do with merit in that the money is inherited. So it becomes clear that this method of finding the best in society is seriously flawed. Having incompetent people in charge of large amounts of resources can be a serious danger to everyone. Another extremely serious flaw of monetary systems is that they inherently push unsustainable behavior. Abundant things are measured as cheap, and cheap things are not conserved in ways that would preserve the abundance. | https://guymcpherson.com/2011/06/principles-for-society/ |

Content: People often reproduce freely on “cheap” resources, and then find themselves trapped with overpopulation and resources no longer cheap. On the selling side of the money game, if someone conserves resources, they will not bring as much to the market, cannot sell as cheaply as someone who ignores conservation, and they are very likely to go out of business, lose everything, and end up working for people who don’t conserve. Conservationists are not rewarded in the money game. Blindness and ruthlessness are rewarded. This feature of money market systems makes it long term engine of destruction. It might take many generations to fully destroy some resources. Eventually, however, on a finite planet the system must find ways to expand off the planet, or self destruct. The rewards of blindness and ruthlessness, are temporary. Monetary systems have other inefficiencies. They constantly struggle with counterfeiting. | https://guymcpherson.com/2011/06/principles-for-society/ |

How Social Media Leads to Polarization: An Analysis Based on “The Social Dilemma”
Danielle Chan, Newsletter Editor
After watching Jeff Orlowski’s docudrama, The Social Dilemma, the wheels in my brain began to turn when noticing several factors that, having been highlighted in the film, could lead to severe consequences if unnoticed. The Social Dilemma explored the damage social media could give rise to society, bringing in technological experts and creators of media applications to speak with alarm and warning towards what they had created. It has been acknowledged that social media platforms, such as Instagram or Facebook, track our likes and search history. Google, a search engine that dominates 87% of market share as of July 2020, collects our browser history and uses the data when presenting advertisements and suggestions to viewers. While some may propose that social media has had its positive effects – reuniting lost loved ones, playing the bridge between partners despite long distances, and convenience across all aspects – these platforms also play key influencers in the polarization across social, cultural, and political beliefs. Polarization, by definition, is the “ division into two sharply distinct opposites .” When we like photos or posts, we indicate to social media algorithms that we have taken an interest or liking towards the content displayed. When we enter searches into search engines, we show the algorithms that we are “looking” for a certain something. | https://gwchronicle.com/2020/12/08/how-social-media-leads-to-polarization-an-analysis-based-on-the-social-dilemma/ |
