Let's begin. It is less difficult than you think to ignore the atrocities and intrusions of war and fighting, even when you're a German in Hitler's time.
If you're looking for someone to target for an investigation into unauthorized disclosure of secret data, perhaps you should focus on the company Edward Snowden was employed at instead of just Edward Snowden, as the company has quite a track record for leaking information and for engaging in bad billing. Instead, however, Mr. Snowden was charged with theft of government property, unauthorized communication of national defense information and willful communication of classified communications intelligence information to an unauthorized person, each of which carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.
Finally, The United States Food and Drug Administration approved Plan B One-Step, an emergency contraceptive, for sale on regular drugstore shelves, reducing the reduction that it be sold behind a pharmacy counter. Reproductive rights advocates cheered, social conservatives lamented another death of respect for sexuality and parental control of the same. Additionally, The United States Supreme Court determined that the United States could not require international or domestic organizations receiving funds from the country to combat HIV to denounce prostitution as a condition of receiving the funds. Such conditions were deliberately excluding a category of persons at a big risk for HIV infection.
Out in the world, Iran chose a new President, Mr. Rohani, seen as more moderate than Mr. Ahmadinejad, and not necessarily the favorite of the Ayatollah.
Men still need feminism, so that guys who cook don&apps;t get funny eyes from other guys, resulting in the unfortunate noir-style death of the guy giving the funny eye.
The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence strongly advised the UK press to not talk or write much about the PRISM program,, because they were concerned that national security information might be disclosed. Those reading it in the style of a stereotypical Wise Guy making An Offer are probably not far from the mark. And, in case you were wondering, The UK did plenty of electronic spying of its own, which it enthusiastically shares with the United States government. Maybe that's part of the reason for the D-Notice? In any case, we need more information about what is being done in our name.
Domestically, The Supreme Court ruled that taking as a DNA sample from as person who is arrested without having first obtained as court order is not a violation of their rights regarding unreasonable search. The Justices' 5-4 ruling reflects the split on the issue. The majority considered it a minimally invasive search with large benefits to law enforcement, the minority focused their arguments on the privacy concerns involved in taking identifiable data from someone at their arrest, rather than their conviction.
A McDonalds worker in Pennsylvania filed suit after being told that the only way they were going to receive their wages was on a reloadable debit card that Chase Bank (of financial crisis fame) would charge fees against for actions as simple as balance inquiries. The law in that state requires that employees always have yhe option to receove their wages either in a check or in cash. Considering McDonalds was basically a minimum wage job, the fees assessed would be punishing those with the least to line the pockets of banks. Sound familiar?
In technology, the revelation of PRISM makes another whistleblower vindicated - the one that blew the whistle on the secret rooms at telecoms that were basically sucking up the Internet.
Also, methods for getting your to-do list into a form that will allow you to get things done.
Perhaps something we already knew, but the presentation of food, including the colors and sizes of the flatware and place settings, affects how the food tastes.
In opinions, bodies matter, even when elected officials think yours doesn't. Because elected officials in North Carolina believe your body doesn't matter and circumvent normal process by attaching abortion provisions to a bill about family courts. Because lawmakers in Texas, despite already having been shown that bodies matter, cut off testimony from citizens on their bill, because they still believe your body doesn't matter.. Because lawmakers in Ohio believe your body doesn't mater and are willing to circumvent normal procedure to get their anti-choice measure passed. And at least one United States Senator believes your body doesn't matter much like the Republican contingent of the House of Representatives believes your body doesn't matter.
Except for the one time where your body suddenly matters a lot, because you're a female playing a stereotypically male sport and then your school principal is Very Concerned that your body will incite boys to be lustful, so you have to stop doing the stereotypically male sport. For your own safety, of course. No comment about whether things like walking in the hall will incite that same lust, naturally.
An extensive roundup of reports and anecdotes about all the harassment to women that happens at conventions - how it doesn't just happen to attendees, how women protect themselves, and why conventions need to make it easy for women to file formal reports against their harassers.
Filming the police may end up with you handcuffed and your dogs dead</>, as a police officer looking for an excuse to do either will find one.
Author Anne Rice believes that when a person makes a racist remark and is called out on it, that's creating a "lynch mob culture". Pick it apart at your leisure.
This is so not okay. As if gendered toys and gendered packaging for toys weren't bad enough, sets of magnetic words intended for the very young do not contain the very important word woman, even though they contain plenty of other ways of referring to women by their roles and relationships to others. The gendered word extension sets are also rather awful in what stereotypes they put on display.
Giftedness in children is something that has to be accounted for, much like autism or other special needs. The gifted child needs help with the world a lot, and the regular strategies in place don't always work that well. Perhaps some links to things and tricks about raising self-esteem will be helpful.
Last for tonight, this is what peer review should be - a strong examination of methodology and conclusions, which results in the discarding of the paper as suitable for use in science.
