Content: There’s nothing you can do about that part. You are going to change. I am going to change. Everybody changes. Think about in high school, I want you to think about a person who was very happy to be around. 15 years later you see them, the person is the most negative person to be around. They changed, but that was negative. Go back to high school, think about the person that was nobody, negative, there just wasn’t anybody that anybody talked about. 15 years later now you just … I’m like, what happened to this guy? Positive change. | https://www.patrickbetdavid.com/causes-people-change/ |

Societal Expectations of Women and Shame
In this week’s Success Newsletter, I would like to reveal the link between societal expectations of women and shame. Men, please read this!
Now, let’s talk about the link between societal expectations of women and shame.
Facebook Comments
Patrick Wanis Ph.D.
Content: Of course, women have greater choice, more power, better education and independence than ever before, but the societal expectations of women are so unachievable that the result is shame. Before discussing shame, let’s look at what is expected of women today. “ Do it all, do it perfectly, and never let them see you struggle .” Mental
Women are expected to: Embrace a (conflicting) identity which is constantly-changing as promoted by society and media
Be intelligent, witty, worldly
Excel in once male dominated fields such as science
Hold high positions in the workforce
Emotional
Women are expected to: Not need a man but have a man and have successful relationships
Get married, have children, be an ideal mother, nurturer and parent
Be powerful
Stand up and speak out for themselves
Be feminine but also be masculine but never angry. ( Hilary Clinton was criticized for crying, and criticized as being an ‘angry woman.’) Always be happy
Not display emotion other than happiness
Physical
Women are expected to: Have the perfect body (before, during, and after pregnancy, and at every age)
Be eternally young and full of energy
Always look fabulous and be dressed in the latest fashions
Display sexual prowess but be pure
Be financially independent, wealthy and successful
Be as strong as men and stronger (be a badass)
“‘Women have so many opportunities,’ it’s like, ‘Yeah, but at what cost?’ Are women valued for being women, or are women valued when they have more masculine qualities?” – | https://www.patrickwanis.com/societal-expectations-women-shame/ |

Content: This is Part One in a series on objective reality. The classic double-slit experiment reveals the wave-particle dual nature of particles like electrons and photons. The question has many levels. In quantum physics, we know that the observer effectcollapses wave functions into particles. The double slit experimentshows that a single photon can act as both a wave and a particle. A single electron fired at a double slit appears to interfere with itself and act like a wave. At around the 4:00 minute mark of the linked video, we see what happens when we try to observe which slit the electron passes through. When we do that, the electron stops acting like a wave and the interference pattern is replaced by a simple double distribution pattern. Another famous conjecture is Schrodinger’s Cat, where a cat is placed in a box with a flask of poison and a radioactive atom. A detector tells when the single atom splits, an event with quantum indeterminacy. | https://www.paulanlee.com/2017/04/14/consciousness-and-the-misunderstood-observer-effect/ |

Content: It suggests that the only observer in the situation is some conscious human outside the box. This is a quantum extension of an earlier question that may have been asked by Philosopher George Berkeley, in his work, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge(1710) and paraphrased centuries later in Scientific American as, “If a tree were to fall on an uninhabited island, would there be any sound?” If a tree falls in the forest with no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? These are all incorrect interpretations of the observer effect. In each one, there is an underlying assumption of a conscious observer altering or fulfilling the results in the real universe with their perception or knowledge. In the double slit experiment, the observer has an effect by knowing which slit an electron or photon passes through. In Bishop Berkley’s tree falling in the forest, the sound is only present if there is a human ear to hear it. In Schrodinger’s Cat, the state of the cat is undetermined until the box is opened and a person looks inside. When does the eye observe? At the retina? | https://www.paulanlee.com/2017/04/14/consciousness-and-the-misunderstood-observer-effect/ |

To think about how the observer is vaguely or incorrectly specified, we should ask ourselves, “When precisely does the observation actually occur?” | https://www.paulanlee.com/2017/04/14/consciousness-and-the-misunderstood-observer-effect/ |

Content: More than anything, these “observer effects” are all arguments to support the (perhaps unspoken) claim that “consciousness” is special, whether human consciousness or the conscious intent of a Creator. In essence, the argument says, “Look! Here’s something we don’t understand (physical existence). Let’s take something else we don’t understand (consciousness or a Creator) and say that the first thing depends on the second thing.” So, how can we understand what is reallymeant by the act of observation. In “Hidden In Plain Sight” physicist Andrew Thomas says: An excellent definition can be found in the book Quantum Enigma by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner: “ Whenever any property of a microscopic object affects a macroscopic object, that property is ‘observed’ and becomes a physical reality.” For example, when a microscopic photon hits the macroscopic screen in the double-slit experiment, then that will reduce the quantum superposition state of the photon to a single value (the single mark it leaves on the screen). This explains why we do not see bizarre quantum superpositions — such as a cat being both alive and dead at the same time — in the human-scale, macroscopic world. | https://www.paulanlee.com/2017/04/14/consciousness-and-the-misunderstood-observer-effect/ |

This explains why we do not see bizarre quantum superpositions — such as a cat being both alive and dead at the same time — in the human-scale, macroscopic world. So as long as there is a macroscopic effect from a quantum entity, that object can be considered to be “observed” or “measured” — with no need for a conscious human observer. In the double-slit experiment, the electron is “observed” by the detector at the slit. The state of Schrodinger’s Cat is “observed” by the air it breathes (or not) inside the box, which is “observed” by interacting with the molecules of the box, which is “observed” by interacting with photons in the rest of the universe. The simple act of a particle *interacting* in any way with other particles in the universe, means it is “observed” by the universe. It’s quantum state (or wave function) collapses at that point; | https://www.paulanlee.com/2017/04/14/consciousness-and-the-misunderstood-observer-effect/ |

Consciousness plays no role in that observation. If you want to see quantum indeterminacy on the macroscale, you need to completely isolate the thing you are observing from the rest of the universe. That’s hard to do. | https://www.paulanlee.com/2017/04/14/consciousness-and-the-misunderstood-observer-effect/ |

Hi Paul,
Are you familiar with and do you have any thoughts on the work of Dean Radin? Dr. Radin’s experiments indicate that the remote attention of a meditator has a measurable influence, well beyond the margin of chance, on the behavior of photons in a double slit experiment (link to his work is here: http://www.deanradin.com/evidence/Radin2012doubleslit.pdf). Also, could you speak more to the logic behind Schrodinger’s Cat having any reasonable bearing on the question of consciousness interfering with the behavior of photons? | https://www.paulanlee.com/2017/04/14/consciousness-and-the-misunderstood-observer-effect/ |

Content: The Marshall trilogy, a series of three Supreme Court cases decided by Chief Justice John Marshall beginning in the 1830’s, set forth the legal framework for defining Tribal sovereignty. In defining tribal sovereign powers, Justice Marshall described tribes as “domestic dependent nations,” meaning that although tribes were “distinct independent political communities,” they remained subject to the paternalistic powers of the United States. Thus, Indian tribes possess internal governmental power over all affairs within the tribe, but lack external authorities to engage in relationships with foreign nations. It is important to note that state governments do not possess authority over tribes and the powers to “expand” or “contract” tribal sovereign authority rests solely within the power of the federal government. Thus, sovereignty also means that states are precluded from interfering with the tribes in their self-governance, while at the same time the United States congress reserves plenary power to change the scope and definition of tribal sovereignty. Over the past 170 years, the U.S. Supreme Court has reaffirmed tribal sovereignty in numerous court decisions. The 1832 Supreme Court decision Cherokee Nation v. Georgia ruled that Indian nations had the full legal right to manage their own affairs, govern themselves internally and engage in legal and political relationships with the federal government and its subdivisions. State governments, nonetheless, have historically been hostile to the concept of tribal sovereignty, often in their attempt to control native lands, resources and assets for their own advantage. In California v. Cabazon (1987), the Supreme Court ruled that tribes have the right, as sovereign nations, to conduct gaming on Indian lands, free of state control when similar gaming outside the reservation is permitted by the state for any purpose. Following the Cabazon ruling, congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act compacts.” ( | https://www.paumatribe.com/government/tribal-sovereignty/ |

Content: How Many Teeth Do Dogs Have? How Many Teeth Do Dogs Have? Just like humans, dogs have baby teeth and adult teeth. The number varies between puppies and adult, so the answer to the question “how many teeth do dogs have” varies by age. Puppies need their teeth for different reasons than adult dogs. For the first few weeks of life, they don’t need teeth at all – all their nourishment comes from their mother’s milk. At that age, they don’t have any teeth, at least not visible. At around 4 weeks of age, their baby teeth start to come in. These teeth, about 28 of them, are mainly canines and incisors – the sharper teeth at the front and sides of their mouths. They won’t be chewing a lot of difficult food, so they only need these teeth. | https://www.pawposse.com/how-many-teeth-do-dogs-have/blog-336/ |

Content: Securing access to funding from alternative providers can be as quick as just a few days, allowing businesses to jump on opportunities when they appear. The cost of business borrowing should always be assessed against the opportunity cost (cost of missing the opportunity). Often the short term borrowing cost can prove far cheaper than the lost revenue potential from a missed customer, order, or business deal. 3. Managing seasonal fluctuations
If your business experiences seasonal fluctuations in demand, and profits peak and trough throughout the year, hoarding cash generated in the good months to cover the cash shortage in leaner times can hinder the growth of your business. Your profits are effectively going unused for the majority of the year, when they could be reinvested for growth. Borrowing through a working capital solution (preferably with no non-usage charges) over the short term to cover preparation for peak periods can help you to reinvest those profits more effectively throughout the entire year. 4. Optimising your supply chain
If your business experiences seasonal variations in demand, then optimising your supply chain to align with these variations will increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve profitability. With the right borrowing arrangement, seasonal businesses can spread out paying for peak period necessities over a longer period. | https://www.pay4.com/8-reasons-why-business-borrowing-is-smart/ |

If your business experiences seasonal variations in demand, then optimising your supply chain to align with these variations will increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve profitability. With the right borrowing arrangement, seasonal businesses can spread out paying for peak period necessities over a longer period. This allows them to stock key items in advance, increase efficiency through larger orders, and respond faster to industry trends. Business borrowing also allows you to pay your suppliers early, without creating or exacerbating gaps in your working capital. Your business can therefore approach suppliers from a position of strength, securing preferential terms and discounts that will further enhance profitability. 5. Improving customer terms
With the pressure eased on your working capital, not only will your business be able to secure preferential terms with your suppliers, but will also be able to offer optimum terms to your customers, improving your competitiveness without leaving your cash flow stretched. | https://www.pay4.com/8-reasons-why-business-borrowing-is-smart/ |

If your business is experiencing good growth, and profitability is healthy, then you should still consider business borrowing as a strategic element of a longer term plan. Even if on the surface, your business does not appear to require it. Companies such as Google and Amazon are ‘debt-free’, thanks to their strong cashflow and profits, yet this is still considered inefficient – they finance the company with retained earnings. As companies such as these mature and their growth inevitably slows down, debt will likely become an increasingly important source of funding. | https://www.pay4.com/8-reasons-why-business-borrowing-is-smart/ |

This is where having a strong credit history of well-managed debt will help your business to secure borrowing should it become necessary once growth slows. 7. Keeping equity in your business
When raising funds for your business, relinquishing equity is almost always more expensive in the longer-run than taking on debt. Sacrificing equity costs you a share of your business, forever. As equity investors take on higher risk, (debt is much less risky for the investor because the firm is legally obligated to pay it) they demand more return on their investment. | https://www.pay4.com/8-reasons-why-business-borrowing-is-smart/ |

Content: This means giving up both current and potential value, often to fill a shorter term requirement. If you expect your business to be successful, and are averse to relinquishing control to other investors, then business borrowing is likely more suited to your needs. In short, business borrowing to finance growth will likely bring greater rewards for the company founder than if the founder decides to share the profits among many owners. 8. Clearer, more disciplined financial focus
With a focus on maximising the value of all resources, incorporating business borrowing into your financial strategy encourages you to maintain good financial discipline. In contrast to a business with excess cash floating around, a business that utilises debt keeps focus across the organisation on justifying each and every purchase, process and production method. This is not necessarily a reason to enter into borrowing per se, rather a positive side effect of incorporating business borrowing into your financial strategy and company culture. A business that utilises a flexible, growth-focused working capital debt solution may also enjoy a clearer picture of their finances and forecasting. With the right finance solution in place, the cost of debt is usually clear and easy to understand. With peaks and troughs in expenditure levelled out, debt obligations fixed and working capital gaps closed, a business can maintain a sharper, more efficient financial focus. | https://www.pay4.com/8-reasons-why-business-borrowing-is-smart/ |

Content: There are also some possible additional benefits. In many states, if an elderly individual is receiving Supplemental Security Income, he or she is eligible for a Special Reduced Residential Service Rate Program, which can provide an additional 20% off their electric and/or gas bills. Some states also offer weatherization through LIHEAP, which is designed to help low income households by providing insulation, replacing broken windows, and fixing or replacing heaters and furnaces to make homes more energy efficient. The U.S. Department of Energy also offers a Weatherization Assistance Program for low-income individuals. In some states, qualifying for the LIHEAP program automatically makes the household eligible for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). Receiving Benefits
LIHEAP assistance is paid as a lump sum sent directly to a utility company or fuel dealer on behalf of the beneficiary/household. This is typically sent once per year, but may be sent in smaller amounts (in greater frequency) to allow the state to better manage its funds. LIHEAP benefits can only be used to pay for energy assistance. Benefits Amounts & Limits
There are several factors that affect the size of grants including the number of people in the household, their income, the type of fuel used, and the size and type of home. The highest amount of assistance is given to those households with the lowest income and highest energy costs, taking into account the number of persons in the household. | https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/longtermcare/resources/liheap_financial_aid.html |

What is the Caregiver Child Exemption? The Caregiver Child Exemption, also known as the Caretaker Child Exception and the Adult Child Caregiving Exemption, enables an elderly individual to transfer their home to their adult child without violating Medicaid's Look Back Period on asset transfers. Medicaid's 5-year look back is a rule that considers the asset transfers a Medicaid applicant has made in the 60 months prior to their application. If found in violation, can result in a period of Medicaid ineligibility. ( The one exception to this rule is California, which has a more lenient look-back period of 30 months.) The Caregiver Child Exception is an exception to the look back rule. | https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/medicaid/caregiver-child-exemption |

Content: The home would otherwise have to be sold and the proceeds used to pay for nursing home / assisted living care. To qualify for the Caregiver Child Exception, the caregiver child must live in the home with his or her parent for at least two years immediately prior to the parent’s admittance to a nursing home or assisted living facility. Also, the adult child must provide a level of care that prevents the senior from needing to relocate to one of the above mentioned facilities during this time. What Defines a "Child"
For the purposes of the Caregiver Child Exemption, a "child" is defined as either a biological or adopted child. They are considered eligible recipients of a home transfer if they have lived in the home and provided a level of care for their aging parent for a period of two years that enabled him / her to continue to live at home. Other relatives, such as foster children, stepchildren, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws, are not eligible. What Defines a "Home"
For Medicaid's Caregiver Exception, a "home" is defined as the elderly individual’s main residence before relocating to a care facility. Summer homes and vacation homes do not qualify for this exception if they are not the individual’s primary residence. A broader, but still allowable definition of the home, includes the land, garages or other buildings on the land. Condominiums and mobile homes are eligible properties. | https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/medicaid/caregiver-child-exemption |

A broader, but still allowable definition of the home, includes the land, garages or other buildings on the land. Condominiums and mobile homes are eligible properties. So are buildings that have separate apartments, as long as the parent and child are housed in the same building. What Defines "Providing Care"
The care provided by the adult child must have enabled the senior to continue to live at home, rather than require relocation to an assisted living facility or nursing home. Documentation indicating that this is the case is required. Providing care for an elderly parent may include: Monitoring medications
Preparing meals
Providing assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
Bathing
Dressing
Using the bathroom
Ensuring the health and safety of the parent
Eligibility and Qualifying
The adult child caregiver must have resided in the home of his or her parent for two years immediately before institutionalization and provided a level of care preventing the parent from having to live in an assisted living facility or a nursing home. | https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/medicaid/caregiver-child-exemption |

To effectively manage working capital, you need a solid understanding of income and expenses to create a cash flow forecast. As long as it’s business as usual, most businesses are able to manage and predict what comes in and what goes out. Challenges arise when unexpected costs start to creep into the forecast. It’s impossible to account for every unexpected cost, but you can start by making a ‘worst-case scenario’ list. | https://www.paypal.com/us/brc/article/what-is-working-capital-management |

Content: Controlling inventory and supplies. Inventory and supplies take a great deal of cash to acquire, so they can have a significant impact on your working capital. Managing them is a balancing act. You need enough inventory and supplies on hand to meet customer demand, but not so much that it negatively affects your working capital. To maximize working capital, adopt inventory and supply replenishment processes that best fit your business. Although processes will vary from business to business, here are best practices to consider: Monitor supplier performance. To get the best materials and service, closely track supplier performance and keep detailed records. If a supplier is not delivering as expected, use your records to negotiate better prices or additional rebates and discounts. Use automated and manual calculation processes. | https://www.paypal.com/us/brc/article/what-is-working-capital-management |

Content: these forms include air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution. Population pressure has led to overgrazing and deforestation of agricultural lands reducing the size and fertility of agricultural land due to soil erosion. Increased deposits of industrial affluent, farming and soil particles into water bodies have led to water pollution. Land degradation due to increased human activities has impacted negatively on agricultural production (Kamdor, 2007). Natural disasters such as floods, tropical storms and prolonged droughts are on the increase and have devastating impacts on food security particularly in developing countries. Drought is the leading cause of food scarcity in the world, as consecutive years of droughts have led to massive crop failures and loss of livestock in the horn of Africa and Central America. Recent floods have rendered many people homeless, destroying crops and animals in parts of India and other several third world nations (Bourke, Allen, and Salisbury, 2000). There are several economic factors that contribute to food shortage. Economic factors affect the ability of farmers to engage in agricultural production.

Poverty situation in developing nations have reduced their capacity to produce food, as most farmers cannot afford seed and fertilizers. They use poor farming methods that cannot yield enough, even substantial use. The rising costs of rice and other basic commodities have made it impossible for majority poor to afford food even where it is available (Kamdor, 2007). Investments in agricultural research and developing are very low in developing nations. Farmers in developing nations have continued to use outdated farming practices, low yielding seeds and poor agricultural infrastructure which limit their production capacity (ACC, 2008). Recent global financial crisis have led to increase in food prices and reduced investments in agriculture by individuals and governments in developed nations resulting in reduced food production. | https://www.paypervids.com/food-shortage-causes-effects-solutions/ |

The world has developed so much through popular culture. During this present electronic age, every country is struggling worldwide to access internet, mass media, print media, and electronic media among others. The globalization of exchange has also intensified popular culture through new information technologies and communication. Some of the positive effects that come with popular culture include; people globally are much connected to one another than before, money and information is flowing rapidly than ever before, goods can be purchased and sold online through internet, international communication and transportation is easier and accessible nowadays as compared to past eras among others (Storey, 2009). As for this case, I will specifically discuss how music as one of the popular cultures is very important in society today. Music forms a crucial aspect of every day life and it comes in different forms, ranging from tunes, background music, television shows, songs on radios, arrangements performed in school orchestra and even concerts performed in different occasions.

Teachers’ pay in South Dakota had been incredibly low.
Do You Know What You're Worth?
The state’s schools and students suffered as a result of these low salaries.
Now, teachers in South Dakota are about to get a significant raise.
Tell Us What You Think
Content: The state’s schools and students suffered as a result of these low salaries. Low teacher pay comes with a price, and, unfortunately, it’s often students who end up paying it. Trained educators in South Dakota found they could relocate to another region, or simply commute over the border to another state, and make as much as $10,000 more per year. It’s easy to understand why they’d make that choice. “When student teachers from Black Hills State University can start out making $8000 more than me in Wyoming, and I have a Master’s degree and 20 years of experience, I tell them to go for it,” Shelley Mikkelson, who was named the South Dakota Education Association’s 2016 Teacher of Excellence, told the Butte County Post. There are many ways in which low pay hurts the quality of education schools can provide. If teachers struggle to make ends meet, they might need to take on second or even third jobs, which takes away from the time and energy they are able to invest in the classroom. In South Dakota, about 25 percent of teachers took on second jobs in recent years. South Dakota ended up facing a serious problem with teacher shortages as a result of the low pay. The teacher shortage problem in South Dakota had become chronic and severe, especially in some of the most rural parts of the state. | https://www.payscale.com/career-news/2016/03/teachers-in-south-dakota-will-finally-get-a-raise |

At one in the morning.'” Sometimes, people treat you like you’re the enemy, and it hurts you and your ability to do your job. Teachers bend over backwards for their students, they lose sleep over them, and truly care for them as if they were their own. So, it’s a pretty terrible feeling to be treated as if you’re the enemy by the occasional family member of a student you’re working so hard to help. Everyone has the same objectives in these scenarios — what’s best for the student — and is willing to do just about anything to help them get there.

What Do Sonographers Do? A sonographer, or diagnostic medical sonographer, uses ultrasound equipment to view the inside of the human body and assist physicians in making diagnoses. Typically, a physician issues a medical order for an ultrasound, which the sonographer carries out using special ultrasound equipment to produce diagnostic images. During image collection, the sonographer applies a clear gel on the skin in the area to be examined. | https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Sonographer/Hourly_Rate |

Meet the Author
Content: Low income families often rely on school lunch programs to provide their children with what may be their only balanced meal of their day. The healthfulness of school lunch has been called into question in recent years, and the Obama administration has sought to implement new standards to increase the nutritional value of lunches provided by schools. Years pass and food trends change, but the challenge of nourishing our countrys youth remains. Research Sources

Banning books like ’13 Reasons Why’ makes it harder for teens to open up to adults, author says
READ MORE: ’13 Reasons Why’ is provocative and devastating. Is it also dangerous?
“I never understood the power of having books written about your experience … until I wrote one and started hearing from teens.”
“Libraries, to me, are safe spaces, and if young readers can’t explore the themes in my book there, where can they?”
Content: JAY ASHER: No, because every reader is different. There’s no book that’s inappropriate for every person, but there are people who cannot handle everything. Last week I was speaking in Alaska and this one girl said she got to the eighth chapter in “Thirteen Reasons Why” and it became too much for her — she self-censored. But she said there would be a day when she’s able to finish my book, when she’ll be ready. NEWSHOUR: The American Library Association, which keeps a record of challenged books or documented requests to remove materials from schools or libraries, listed “Thirteen Reasons Why” as the third most “challenged” book of 2012. What’s your reaction to that? JAY ASHER: A lot of authors see their book being banned or challenged as a badge of honor. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/banning-books-like-13-reasons-makes-harder-teens-open-adults-author-says |

Myth #4: It would be better for the economy if immigrants’ children were not citizens

Content: “There is a little bit of a stigma in applying for welfare because they have come here to work, to support their families,” Peri said. Immigrants can be a financial burden to state and local governments through the cost of sending their children to public school — something Trump mentioned Thursday. But Trump’s claim ignored a critical point. Educating those children has economic benefits later down the road when they get better-paying jobs and, in turn, pay higher taxes. Myth #2: Immigrants take American jobs
Fact: Immigrants workers often take jobs that boost other parts of the economy
Immigrants make up 17 percent of the U.S. labor force, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, but few experts believe they’re taking jobs from Americans, as Trump claims. “Most economists agree that in spite of being a very big part of the labor force, immigrants have not come at the cost either of American jobs, nor of American wages,” Peri, the UC Davis professor, said. The reason is that immigrants often have jobs that Americans tend not to take. So instead of competing with Americans’ for work, immigrants tend to complement American workers. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/making-sense/4-myths-about-how-immigrants-affect-the-u-s-economy |

Nationwide, the proportion of Hispanics who graduate within six years is still 10 percentage points lower than the proportion of whites, according to the Education Department.

How Undocumented Immigrants Sometimes Receive Medicaid Treatment
Health Feb 13, 2013 11:00 AM EDT
Photo by Adam Berry/Getty Images. During the debate over the 2010 federal health care overhaul, Democrats promised that illegal immigrants wouldn’t be among the 27 million people who’d gain coverage. President Barack Obama repeated that pledge last month when he outlined his immigration plan. But while federal law generally bars illegal immigrants from being covered by Medicaid, a little-known part of the state-federal health insurance program for the poor pays about $2 billion a year for emergency treatment for a group of patients who, according to hospitals, mostly comprise illegal immigrants. Most of it goes to reimburse hospitals for delivering babies for women who show up in their emergency rooms, according to interviews with hospital officials and studies. The funding — which has been around since the late 1980s and is less than 1 percent of the cost of Medicaid — underscores the political and practical challenges of refusing to cover an entire class of people. Congress approved the program after lawmakers required hospitals to screen and stabilize all emergency patients regardless of their insurance or citizenship status. Some groups say the services encourage people to cross the border for care, while advocates for immigrants say the funding is inadequate because it doesn’t pay for prenatal care and other vital services. “We can’t turn them away,” said Joanne Aquilina, the chief financial officer of Bethesda Healthcare System in Boynton Beach, Fla., which sees many illegal immigrants because of its proximity to farms where they harvest sugarcane and other seasonal crops. Nearly one-third of Bethesda Hospital East’s 2,900 births each year are paid for by Emergency Medicaid, the category that covers mainly illegal immigrants. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-undocumented-immigrants-sometimes-receive-medicaid-treatment |

Nearly one-third of Bethesda Hospital East’s 2,900 births each year are paid for by Emergency Medicaid, the category that covers mainly illegal immigrants. The category includes a small proportion of homeless people and legal immigrants who’ve been in the country less than five years. Hospitals can’t ask patients whether they’re illegal immigrants, but instead determine that after checking whether they have Social Security numbers, birth certificates or other documents. “We gather information to qualify patients for something and through that process, if you really hit a dead end, you know they are illegal,” said Steve Short, the chief financial officer at Tampa General Hospital. A 2007 medical article in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that 99 percent of those who used Emergency Medicaid during a four-year period in North Carolina were thought to be illegal immigrants. The Federation for American Immigration Reform, which seeks to limit immigration, said the funding led more women to give birth in the United States, especially since they knew that children born here would be American citizens. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-undocumented-immigrants-sometimes-receive-medicaid-treatment |

The group believes that tens of thousands of “anchor babies” are born each year to illegal immigrants who hope that giving birth to children recognized as citizens will help the women gain legal status themselves. Anyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen. It’s unclear how many mothers later get green cards or become citizens. The Federation for American Immigration Reform doesn’t dispute hospitals’ right to be reimbursed for care they’re required to provide. “Our focus should be that you could save this money if you prevent the illegal immigration from happening in the first place. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-undocumented-immigrants-sometimes-receive-medicaid-treatment |

Content: You can’t do it after the fact,” said Jack Martin, the special projects director for the organization. Groups that advocate for immigrants say it’s foolish for Medicaid to pay only for the births and not for the prenatal care that might prevent costly and long-term complications for American children. “It’s a lose, lose, lose,” said Sonal Ambegaokar, a health policy lawyer at the National Immigration Law Center, which advocates for low-income immigrants. She said denying broad insurance coverage to legal immigrants hurt doctors and hospitals financially, prevented patients from getting needed care and increased costs for the health system. “There is no evidence that Emergency Medicaid is the cause of migration,” Ambegaokar said. “ Immigrants migrate to the U.S. for job opportunities and reunifying with family members.” Data that Kaiser Health News collected from seven states that are thought to have the highest numbers of illegal immigrants show that the funding pays for emergency services delivered to more than 100,000 people a year. California hospitals get about half the $2 billion spent annually on Emergency Medicaid. The rest is spread mainly among a handful of states.

Content: Arizona spent $115 million. It couldn’t break out the number of people. Illinois spent $25 million on the cost of care to nearly 2,000 people. The federal government doesn’t require states to report how many people receive services through Emergency Medicaid payments to hospitals. Legal immigrants who’ve been in the United States less than five years aren’t eligible for regular Medicaid coverage, though states have the option of extending it to children and pregnant women. Despite the surge in overall Medicaid spending in the past decade, Emergency Medicaid costs have been remarkably stable. A 2004 study by the Government Accountability Office that looked at data from the 10 states with the highest expected Emergency Medicaid costs, reported $2 billion in spending. State officials say spending varies depending on immigration patterns and that during the economic slowdown, the number of illegal immigrants dropped. The definition of emergency care and the scope of services available through the Medicaid programs vary by state. For example, in New York, Emergency Medicaid may be used to provide chemotherapy and radiation therapy to illegal immigrants. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-undocumented-immigrants-sometimes-receive-medicaid-treatment |

In New York, California and North Carolina, it may be used to provide outpatient dialysis to undocumented patients. Other states have tried to narrow the definition of “emergency” to limit what’s covered. “ Each state has its own interpretation,” said Jane Perkins, the legal director of the National Health Law Program, which advocates for the working poor. Last year, for instance, Florida changed its policy to pay for emergency services for eligible undocumented immigrants only until their conditions had been “stabilized.” Previously, its policy was to pay for care that was “medically necessary to relieve or eliminate the emergency medical condition.” | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-undocumented-immigrants-sometimes-receive-medicaid-treatment |

Critics, including Dunlap, reject his claims of widespread voter fraud. The Trump administration last month complied with a court order to turn over documents from the voting integrity commission to Dunlap. The commission met just twice and has not issued a report. “There’s no real evidence of it anywhere.” Dunlap’s findings received immediate pushback Friday from Kobach, who acted as vice-chair of the commission while Pence served as chair. “For some people, no matter how many cases of voter fraud you show them, there will never be enough for them to admit that there’s a problem,” said Kobach, who is running for Kansas governor and has a good chance of unseating the incumbent, Jeff Colyer, in the Republican primary Tuesday. “It appears that Secretary Dunlap is willfully blind to the voter fraud in front of his nose,” Kobach said in a statement released by his spokesman. Kobach said there have been more than 1,000 convictions for voter fraud since 2000, and that the commission presented 8,400 instances of double voting in the 2016 election in 20 states. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/report-trump-commission-did-not-find-widespread-voter-fraud |

Where 2020 Democrats stand on abortion
Politics Updated on Jun 7, 2019 10:05 PM EDT — Published on Jun 7, 2019 5:48 PM EDT
Protecting abortion rights has become a key talking point for Democratic presidential candidates as Republican-led state legislatures have passed laws in recent months to severely restrict the procedure, in an ultimate bid to challenge Roe v. Wade at the high court. Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday denounced the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal dollars from being used for abortion. His abrupt reversal — as recently as Wednesday, Biden’s campaign had reaffirmed his long-standing support for the rule — thrust the Democratic frontrunner into the middle of the abortion debate. The position drew intense criticism this week from members of his own party and put him at odds with the national Democratic Party platform. A new PBS NewsHour-NPR-Marist poll found the majority of Americans do not agree with severe restrictions on abortion services. Most Americans also want to uphold Roe. Biden pointed to intensified efforts by Republican lawmakers to chip away at or overturn Roe this year as reason for his change of heart, but made clear he makes “no apologies for the last position.” A number of other 2020 candidates have said they would repeal the Hyde Amendment, although most of the contenders who serve in Congress have also voted for it when it was attached to larger funding bills. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Mayor Pete Buttigieg, of South Bend, Indiana, attended a rally in front of the Supreme Court last month in protest of newly passed state laws that ban abortions. Several of the measures prohibit the procedure as soon as cardiac activity is detected. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/where-2020-democrats-stand-on-abortion |

All the major Democratic presidential candidates support abortion rights, but there are differences in how they are weighing in on the growing national conversation around abortion. Here is where they stand on the issue: Michael Bennet
Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet has expressed opposition to recent state-level efforts to restrict abortion, and called the laws passed in Alabama, Georgia and Missouri “a blatant attack on women and their right to access reproductive health care.” Bennet recently told CNN that if elected president, he would appoint federal judges who would “uphold the precedent of Roe v. Wade.” In response to the debate over the Hyde Amendment, he tweeted that the law was “federally sanctioned discrimination” and said it should be overturned immediately. Bennet won his 2010 Senate race partly by challenging his Republican opponent’s stance on abortion. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/where-2020-democrats-stand-on-abortion |

Hours before Biden reversed his stance on the Hyde amendment at the DNC African American Leadership Summit in Atlanta, Booker told the same group that the Hyde amendment was an “assault on African American women.” He has promised to repeal the amendment in his first budget as president. Booker has also called recent laws to restrict abortion access passed in Alabama, Missouri and other states a “coordinated attack aimed at controlling, dehumanizing, and criminalizing women.” The New Jersey senator wrote in an open letter to men published by GQ that women “should not have to face this fight alone” and urged men “to listen, to speak out, and to take action.” In recent weeks, Booker has outlined steps he would take as president to protect abortion access, including establishing a White House Office on Reproductive Rights and working with Congress to pass legislation to protect abortion access provided by Roe v. Wade. Steve Bullock
As Montana governor, Bullock has vetoed a number of bills aimed at restricting abortion, including one that would have prohibited abortions after 20 weeks of gestation and another that would have required a woman to see an ultrasound or listen to a heartbeat before undergoing an abortion. Last month, Bullock said the Hyde Amendment should be repealed. In an interview with CNN, Bullock said he believes “life begins at viability, but either way it’s not up to people like me to be making these decisions.” | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/where-2020-democrats-stand-on-abortion |

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro recently tweeted that he would like to repeal the Hyde Amendment. At the S he the People candidate forum in April in Houston, Castro said abortion is “an issue of reproductive freedom and justice, and so I don’t think whether a woman has the resources to cover it [should] determine whether she is able to get that health care.” In addition, Castro has pledged to appoint a cabinet which is “entirely pro-choice”. Bill De Blasio
Before Biden reversed his support of the Hyde Amendment, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was among who criticized the former vice president for his support of the measure. De Blasio has also criticized restrictive abortion laws across the country and expressed support for a recently-passed New York State’s law that allowed abortion after 24 weeks if there was no viability of the fetus or to protect the patient’s life and health. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/where-2020-democrats-stand-on-abortion |

California Sen. Kamala Harris called recent anti-abortion laws, “dangerous attacks” on women’s rights. Harris said she would work to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade into law, but she also wants to block state restrictions from going into effect. Harris’ plan is modeled after the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and would require states that pass anti-abortion restrictions to get preclearance from the Department of Justice. During her 2016 Senate race, anti-abortion groups called on Harris to end her campaign and resign as California’s attorney general because of her investigation into a man who released undercover videos of Planned Parenthood employees.

Incinerators release many air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxides, particulate matter, lead, mercury, dioxins and furans. These substances are known to have serious public health effects, from increased cancer risk to respiratory illness, cardiac disease and reproductive, developmental and neurological problems. According to recent figures from the waste industry, incinerator plants emit more sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide per unit of electricity generated than power plants burning natural gas. Research on direct health impacts of waste incineration in the United States is limited, but a handful of studies from Asia and Europe, where waste incinerators are prevalent, offer some insights. For example, a 2013 study in Italy analyzed the occurrence of miscarriages in women aged 15-49 years residing near seven incinerators in northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, and found that increased particulate emissions from the incinerators was associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. | https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/is-burning-trash-a-good-way-to-dispose-of-it-waste-incineration-in-charts |

A single incinerator may burn anywhere from a few hundred tons to several thousand tons of waste per day. Smaller incinerators typically have lower absolute emissions but can emit more hazardous pollutants for each ton of waste they burn. Plant emissions also can vary widely based on the heterogeneous composition of municipal waste, the age and type of emissions control equipment, and how well the plant is operated and maintained over time.

The Mexican American War
Content: In return for $15 million and the assumption of Mexican debts to Americans, Mexico gave up its hold over New Mexico and California. The enormous territory included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming. Mexico also agreed to finally relinquish all of Texas, including the disputed area along the border. The U.S. Congress approved the treaty on March 10. Although the Mexican War had been won, the conflict over what to do with the vast amounts of territory gained from the war sparked further controversy in the U.S. The question over whether slavery would spread to these new territories would drive North and South even further apart.

Michelle Alexander: “A System of Racial and Social Control”
“I think the way in which we respond to drug abuse and drug addiction in these communities speaks volumes about the extent to which these are people we truly care about.”
“By the year 2000, there were more people incarcerated just for probation and parole violations than were incarcerated for all reasons in 1980.”

Content: It was not on the rise, and less than 3 percent of the American population identified drugs as the nation’s most pressing concern. So why would he declare an all-out war on drugs at a time when drug crime is actually declining, not on the rise, and the American public isn’t much concerned about it? Well, from the outset, the war on drugs had much less to do with … concern about drug abuse and drug addiction and much more to do with politics, including racial politics. President Ronald Reagan wanted to make good on campaign promises to get tough on that group of folks who had already been defined in the media as black and brown, the criminals, and he made good on that promise by declaring a drug war. Almost immediately after his declaration of war, funds for law enforcement began to soar. “I think the way in which we respond to drug abuse and drug addiction in these communities speaks volumes about the extent to which these are people we truly care about.” But the crack epidemic hit after this declaration of war, not before. Many people assumed that the war on drugs was declared in response to the emergence of crack cocaine and the related violence, but that’s not true. The drug war had already been declared, but the emergence of crack cocaine in inner-city communities actually provided the Reagan administration precisely the fuel they needed to build greater public support for the war they had already declared. So the Reagan administration actually launched a media campaign to publicize the crack epidemic in inner-city communities, hiring staff whose job it was to publicize inner-city crack babies, crack dealers or so-called crack whores and crack-related violence, in an effort to boost public support for this war they had already declared [and to inspire] Congress to devote millions more dollars to waging it. | https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/michelle-alexander-a-system-of-racial-and-social-control/ |

The plan worked like a charm. Millions more dollars flowed to law enforcement. There was the militarization of law enforcement of the drug war as the Pentagon began giving tanks and military equipment to local law enforcement to wage this war. And Congress began giving harsh mandatory minimum sentences for minor drug offenses, sentences harsher than murderers receive, more than [other] Western democracies. And soon Democrats began competing with Republicans to prove they could be even tougher on them than their Republican counterparts, and so it was President Bill Clinton who actually escalated the drug war far beyond what his Republican predecessors even dreamed possible. | https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/michelle-alexander-a-system-of-racial-and-social-control/ |

Content: But back then, there was no kind of violence in the business or any kind of problem. When it got big is when the problems began. When it got big, the problems began, and a lot of people got involved. . . . We've spoken with members of the DEA and also here with the investigators, the police, the DAS here. They said that, in the early years of the cocaine business, they were spending their time in the north of the country. They were concerned about the marijuana business and they really didn't pay any attention to cocaine. Yes. In the beginning . . . the big business was the marijuana. Cocaine was not a big part. | https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/interviews/ochoajorge.html |

You'd have to change a lot of your methods. We started to run more. Before that, we lived at peace. But the problems began after Tranquilandia. Shortly after Tranquilandia, someone made a decision--and it's popularly thought to be Pablo Escobar--to assassinate Lara Bonilla [the Colombian Minister of Justice.] What happened, exactly, and what was the significance? | https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/interviews/ochoajorge.html |

Content: When Ronald Reagan became president soon after, he quietly began sending aid to those fighting the Marxist government. They were known as the Nicaraguan Resistance, or more simply, the Contras. Contra soldiers
As with Burma, Laos and Afghanistan before it -- where the U.S. had helped fight wars -- Nicaragua had a narcotics trade--a fact which was brought to the CIA's attention while the Contra effort was barely off the ground. In 1981 members of the Nicaraguan Revolutionary Democratic Alliance (ADREN) were working alongside CIA officers to overthrow the new Sandinista government.. As noted in the Hitz report, a cable to CIA headquarters stated that ADREN leadership had decided to "engage in drug smuggling to the United States in order to finance its anti-Sandinista operations." The cable stated that an "initial trial run" had taken place in July 1981, when drugs were transported via plane to Miami. In what would prove common during the Contra war, the CIA never followed up on the allegations, or bothered to verify whether the "initial run" had taken place, according to the Hitz report. ADREN disbanded in 1982. But some members joined the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN), which worked with the CIA. In another instance, the CIA received allegations that five members of the Democratic Revolutionary Alliance (ADREN) -- those fighting along the border of Nicaragua and Costa Rica - were involved in drug trafficking. The five were allegedly working with known drug trafficker Jorge Morales. | https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/special/cia.html |
