73.1% of Israeli children are satisfied with their lives, according to a Global Children's Survey released Friday.
The survey asked over 50,000 children ages 8, 10, and 12 from 15 countries various questions regarding the level of satisfaction with their lives.
The study found, among other things, that children in European countries tend to be more satisfied socially than children of African countries, who tend to be more satisfied with their academic lives. The survey was published by Walla! News.
Regarding average overall satisfaction, Israel is above most of the countries studied, with an average of 9.2 out of 10 – placing between children of Algeria and Turkey. Colombia and Romania topped the list, despite a downturn in both countries' economies. South Korea's children are the least satisfied with their lives, out of the countries examined.
Despite this, 3.5% of Israelis polled gave satisfaction scores of under 5 (out of 10). Five countries – Norway, Algeria, Colombia, Romania and Spain – have lower rates of children who are not satisfied with their lives than Israel's.
It was also found that in countries such as Nepal, South Africa and South Korea there is a significant gap between children in the same age group, but results from Israel indicate a relatively high uniformity despite widening gaps in socioeconomic status.
The children were presented many questions concerning, inter alia, family life and their home, social life, their financial situation and their property, their situation at school, area of residence, awareness of children's rights and general satisfaction.
Thus, for example, the survey found that in Europe, as well as South Korea, the level of happiness of children decreased between the ages of 10 and 12 – a trend not found in Israel and Ethiopia.
Happiness remained at about the same levels between boys and girls, but specific parameters relating to self-esteem and body image saw significant differences between boys and girls in Europe and South Korea, but not in other countries in Asia, Africa and South America.
In addition, in Estonia, Poland, South Korea and the UK, children spend their most of their time working on homework, but children from Poland, Norway and Israel are leading the list of countries in which children pass the most time on athletic activities.

Brussels, 12 Sep 2003
The Agriculture Committee held a public hearing on Thursday titled "Co-existence between genetically modified crops and conventional and organic crops". The hearing was part of the ongoing debate on the difficulties of separating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) from conventional organisms in food and animal feed. A new EU directive (June 2003) introduces a tolerance level of 0.9% of accidental GMOs in conventional organisms. Should this threshold be exceeded, the producer will have to indicate it on the product label.
One of the main concerns among farmers is the increasing cultivation of GMOs and the potential presence of minute traces of GMOs in conventional seeds. It is practically impossible today to achieve 100% non-genetically modified products. The European Commission has therefore recently drafted guidelines suggesting a tolerance level for the adventitious presence of GMOs in seeds: between 0.3% and 0.7%, depending on the type of seed. Meanwhile the European Parliament is currently preparing an own-initiative report on the subject and its rapporteur, Friedrich-Wilhelm GRAEFE zu BARINGDORF (Greens/EFA, D) - an organic farmer himself - opened the debate by setting forth the main questions: Is co-existence possible in agriculture? What does it mean in practice? How can the public be properly informed? What kind of costs will it entail and who should bear these costs?"The Commission guidelines make it clear that it is up to the Member States to decide the threshold for co-existence", he added. "But this procedure will get more difficult with enlargement, as 25 different national systems will have to be harmonised. My report will try to address problems such as civil liability, the sharing of costs and the practical implementation of co-existence", said Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf. However, several experts agreed with the Commission that it should be the responsibility of the Member States to fix the threshold, because the risk of contamination varies enormously depending on many factors (climatic conditions, type of crops, machinery) and appropriate measures have to be taken at local level.
Jeremy SWEET (National Institute of Agriculture Botany, UK) said the Member States must manage the situation themselves, working with individual farmers and cooperatives. "We need local tools to monitor and follow up the effects of GMOs. We cannot give Europe-wide recommendations", added Antoine MESSEAN (INRA, France).
Adventitious presence of GMOs
Mr Sweet argued that "certain thresholds should be allowed" for GMOs, at different levels depending on the type of seed. "I have the feeling that 0.3% could be valid for some species", he said, but others (like maize) have a higher risk of contamination due to cross-pollination and it would be hard to keep a 0.9% threshold. In his opinion, the problem was that the most common crops cultivated in Europe are those at highest risk of cross-pollination. "We need a lot more data on how pollen is distributed and how it moves and contaminates fields. (â€¦) GMOs can persist in one field from one year to another, even from one decade to another. Just one seed per square meter could lead to 100% contamination", he concluded.
The experience of Rikke BAGGER JÃ˜RGENSEN (RisÃ¸ National Laboratory, Denmark) suggested that "the current knowledge of certain crops is too limited at the moment to suggest threshold measures". "Co-existence with a threshold of 0.9% is technically possible, although with certain limits. However, it would be much simpler to separate GMOs and non-genetically modified seeds in different regions. Such reorganisation will eliminate the risk of contamination much more" said Olivier PAGEARD (CoopÃ©rative agricole de cÃ©rÃ©ales, France). From an economic point of view, he contended, "GMOs will have to give us an extra profit margin to make it worthwhile if we have to cover the extra cost of co-existence".
Franz RAAB (Association of phyto-cultivators and seed traders, Austria) described Austrian legislation on GMOs and pointed that "with the traditional distances between crops and conventional rules we will not be able to meet all the requirements of co-existence".
Finally, the experts were reluctant to give a clear answer to Mr Graefe's question about shared costs and civil liability. "The costs caused by the change of agricultural practices to ensure better co-existence are difficult to measure", said Mr Messean. Only Ms JÃ¸rgensen was willing to say that Danish experience showed "the extra cost would vary from 0% to 21%. The full responsibility for co-existence problems lies with the GMO farmer. If the recommendations for isolation distances, rotation periods, volunteer control etc. are not followed, the GMO farmer will have to pay damages to his non-GMO neighbours", she concluded.

On the face of it, that’s a shocking number: 147 incidents over four years where 268 children were left unattended at the Bethlehem casino.
The incidents from 2018 to 2021 lasted from one minute to nine hours and are part of an increasingly concerning trend at the casino, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said Wednesday.
Now, the owners of Wind Creek Hospitality have developed a mitigation plan to not only deter parents or guardians from leaving children alone, but also to detect incidents.
The PGCB did not detail every incident, but said the ages of the children ranged from 2 months to 17 years and that they were found in various locations, from parked cars and secured hotel rooms to the food court or mall, the PGCB said. .
The casino was owned by the Sands before being sold in 2019 to Wind Creek.
More recently, from 2021 to April 2022, there have been 43 times children have been found alone on casino property. From these:
- 32 were located at the food court
- Five in the casino parking lots
- Two at the hotel
- Three in the adjoining mall
- One in the main casino entrance
The Wind Creek plan, released Wednesday, includes more signage in and around the casino, increased training for staff, and mobile patrols in parking areas and foot patrols inside by exterior security.
“Over the last few months, probably a good part of a year, we’ve been going through a lot of incident reports, going through a lot of data, to really focus on what we think are the most problematic areas, the things that we could address to reduce this issue as much as possible,” said Michael Magazzu, Wind Creek’s executive director of compliance and risk assessment.
Most of the recent incidents have been in the food court, and Magazzu said new signs on each table have reduced the number of children left alone.
But a PGCB member took issue with the signs used for people leaving the car park, saying minors must be accompanied by an adult.
The sign must say: “’Parents, don’t leave your children in the car!’ I don’t know why you’re dancing around the question,” Sean Logan said. “You are here because people leave children in cars unattended. And they leave the kids in their hotel rooms unsupervised.
Glenn Granitz, the former Allentown police chief who is now chief security officer at Wind Creek, updated council on improvements to security patrols in the mall and food court, including an officer guard parked in the food court.
The casino has also increased its use of Bethlehem police patrolling parking lots, both on foot and in cars.
Granitz spoke about the large size of the campus and how ArtsQuest hosts a number of large events that draw kids and families to nearby SteelStacks. Recently, when it rained during prom season, the casino became a photo spot, he said.
“Obviously a lot of people of all ages come and go,” he said.
This is the second mitigation plan for unsupervised children in Pennsylvania casinos, the PCGB said.
The first was developed by Valley Forge Casino Resort in Montgomery County in November 2021. Valley Forge’s plan included a new infrared camera system to detect children and adults in vehicles with tinted windows.
Wind Creek doesn’t use infrared cameras, but Granitz said that’s something under consideration.
“Since the Council publicly addressed this serious situation, we have seen casinos step up their efforts to detect children left unsupervised on their property while the adults responsible for their care play,” said Kevin O’Toole, Executive Director of the Gaming Control Board. “All casinos take this issue seriously and we expect more specific plans, such as those implemented at Valley Forge and Wind Creek casinos, to be presented to us in the near future.”
The board did not say how many of the 147 incidents resulted in arrest and/or charges.
Lehighvalleylive.com reported on some of the incidents. In 2019, a New Jersey woman was charged with leaving three children under the age of 10 alone in a car for two hours in 2019. The following year, an 8-year-old boy and his 2-year-old sister were found wandering. on the fifth floor of the parking garage in January.
The numbers released Wednesday were news to the Northampton County Attorney’s Office, which was not contacted by Wind Creek or the board about it.
The casino is located in Northampton County, and arrests in incidents involving children would be referred by law enforcement to the District Attorney’s Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Unit, headed by the Chief Assistant District Attorney Tatum Wilson.
“We would love to have the opportunity” to speak to the casino or the PGCB, Wilson said.
Wilson said the number of cases prosecuted by the unit over the four-year period does not match the figures provided by the PGCB.
Not every incident would result in the arrest and/or indictment of a parent or guardian. Whether a parent is charged would depend on a number of factors, including the age of the child, how long they were left alone, where they were found and whether it was of a vehicle, Wilson said.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro has finally admitted she was suspended from the network following her comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) ― and she thinks she might get fired if she steps another toe out of line.
During a break in a radio interview on “America First With Sebastian Gorka” on Tuesday night, Pirro ― who had ostensibly not understood that they were still live on YouTube ― made a number of grievances about Fox News to show host Gorka, a former aide to President Donald Trump.
She also had a beef about the network’s restrictions on her, complaining that she’d need to “see if they’d let me” when asked if she’d join Gorka for a live studio interview.
“You know Fox reviews everything. They’re unbelievable,” she said.
She went on to vent about restrictions on her new book, saying, “They’re still saying you cannot do Bill O’Reilly, you cannot do Newsmax.”
“You know what? They suspended me. And I’m not going to get fired. You know I’m worried that that suspension was the basis to tee up for anything I do wrong, they’ll fire me,” she added, before she was interrupted by Gorka telling her to stand by. “We are back in 90 seconds,” he said.
Pirro’s program disappeared from the Fox News lineup in March following her accusation that the hijab worn by Omar, who is Muslim, may be “antithetical to the Constitution.” Her comments were condemned by the network. Neither Pirro nor the network ever publicly confirmed the suspension, and there was no mention of the controversy when Pirro returned two weeks later.
Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Pirro’s Tuesday night interview.
The radio version of the interview, excluding Pirro’s revelations, was uploaded to Gorka’s YouTube channel.

Donald Trump’s tweet recommending that the 2020 presidential political election can be postponed amidst the coronavirus pandemic triggered a day of wild conjecture as to whether he would certainly, could, or just how that would also look if he did.
After stating that a mail-in tally system would certainly develop the “the majority of INACCURATE & & FRAUDULENT Election in background”, the head of state double-downed throughout his White House interview, saying he doesn’t intend to wait weeks, months or perhaps years for the outcome of the political election to be recognized.
The reaction to a political election delay made its way into the funeral service for civil rights icon John Lewis, with Barack Obama transforming his eulogy right into a call to action for voting reform in a speech that, while it didn’t state Trump by name, left no person unsure that the head of state was the target of his aim.
At the same interview, Trump intimidated to send in the National Guard to Portland after the Department of Homeland Security previously revealed a bargain for Oregon State Police to action in as well as maintain the peace. He said the expert agitators and also specialist anarchists that dislike the United States made the city a “beehive of terrorists”.
Before he intimidated to send soldiers into Portland, Trump said US soldiers were being gotten rid of from Germany since the country was overdue in its fees to Nato while still paying Russia billions for energy.
Elsewhere, a government allures court ruled it would certainly assess a court’s attempt to check out the Justice Department’s decision to drop its criminal situation versus Donald Trump’s very first nationwide security advisor, Michael Flynn.
It came as Trump’s ally Herman Cain passed away after he was hospitalised with the coronavirus. Mr Cain attended Mr Trump’s Tulsa rally in June and was pictured without a mask, however it was vague if that was where he first got the unique virus.
” With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is great), 2020 will certainly be one of the most INACCURATE & & FRAUDULENT Election in background. It will be a wonderful shame to the USA. Delay the Election until people can correctly, firmly as well as safely vote???” Mr Trump tweeted.
The president’s concerns with mail in ballot have been disproved by political elections professionals. However could he in fact move the political election?
Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic opposition to Mr Trump, issued an unsettling warning to his advocates in April about the topic.
” Mark my words, I think Trump is gon na attempt to unwind the election somehow, think of some rationale why it can not be held,” he claimed throughout the occasion. “That’s the only way he believes he can potentially win.”
Graig Graziosi has much more.
The idea was made in a tweet shared to his greater than 84 million fans on Thursday.
” With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is great), 2020 will certainly be the most INACCURATE & & FRAUDULENT Election in background. It will certainly be a wonderful embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election up until individuals can properly, firmly and safely vote???” Mr Trump composed.
Congress holds the power to set the dates for government elections, not the head of state. The Constitution also does not make any stipulations for a delay in the presidential launch, established for 21 January, 2021.
FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub said Mr Trump does not have the power to move the election, “nor should it be relocated”, Reuters reported.
Trump doesn’t desire a political election hold-up … BUT … … he likewise doesn’t intend to wait for 3 months to wait on arise from mail-in tallies. We’re not any more clear on whether Trump meant his tweet on postponing the election today, which he claimed has “had an interesting impact”.
” I don’t want to see an election, a lot of years I’ve been watching political elections, and also they say the predicted champion, or the champion of the election, I don’t wish to see that happen as well as a week after November 3rd, or a month, or honestly, with litigation and everything else that can happen years. Or you never ever also know that won the political election,” he said.
” I want to have the outcome of the political election. I don’t intend to be lingering for weeks and months as well as literally, possibly if you truly did it right, years, due to the fact that you’ll never ever know. These ballots are missing out on.”
He added: “I do not wish to postpone, I wish to have the election. I additionally do not’ desire to have to wait for 3 months as well as after that locate out that the ballots are all missing out on and also the political election does not indicate anything. That’s what’s going to take place.”
Breaking information: Michael Flynn case takes one more unanticipated turn as complete appeals court accepts reconsider judgment
The long-unusual legend got even more unusual on Thursday when the complete US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit consented to check out United States District Judge Emmet Sullivan’s visit of a retired federal judge to check out exactly how DOJ handled its instance.
Oral disagreements are slated for 11 August.

Hilary Duff, or a "Toddlers & Tiaras" cast member? WE CAN'T TELL.
You know us -- we live for a good #TBT and #FBF! And, knowing our line of work, we've come across some great ones lately, such as Cody Simpson and Demi Lovato's Halloween-themed #TBTs, and One Direction's ENTIRE "Story Of My Life" video.
But in what is perhaps the BEST #TBT we've seen in a hot minute (or, #FBF, considering today's date), here's a young Hilary Duff as a contestant in a '90s child beauty pageant! You know, like an IRL "Toddlers & Tiaras" situation! (Except hopefully with better parenting...)
Sharing her pageant photo yesterday via Twitter, Hilary captioned: "#tbt there are so many things wrong with this."
Erm, well, we can't deny that it's a liiiiittle creepy to see Hilary enveloped in a pink feather boa, rocking cheesy pear earrings, and flashing a pageant perma-smile. Also: Is that a tan line on her shoulder? On the the plus side, we see zero signs of anything "Baby Botox" or Honey Boo Boo-related. (Thank god.)

FIGURES showing pensioners and 20-somethings are becoming concentrated at opposite ends of Wales yesterday sparked calls for services to become specially tailored to local communities.
In parts of the North Wales coast, such as Prestatyn, Rhyl, and Rhos-on-Sea, over 65s make up just under half of the local population, according to new estimates from the Office for National Statistics.
Younger people aged 16 to 29, however, are highly concentrated in cities and university towns, making up as much as 80% of the population in a large area of Cardiff.
People aged between 45 and 64 are the most evenly distributed across the country, making up 20% to 40% of the population in 93% of Wales.
Older people make up more than 20% of the population in half of the country’s areas, possibly reflecting the fact that over 65s are the second largest age group in Wales – making up 18.6% of the population.
A spokeswoman for the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) said: “Wales has a higher proportion of older people than any other part of the UK.
“Whilst this brings many benefits to the Welsh economy, for example older people are the age group most likely to offer their time to volunteer (the value of which is estimated at £469m a year), an ageing population puts increased demand on services, presenting significant challenges for local authorities.
“Local authorities factor changing demographics into their forward planning for services, and are acutely aware that the future will mean doing things differently in order to meet the demands of an ageing population.
“The public sector is already working hard to respond to the challenges, for example through collaboration and service redesign.”
Iwan Rhys Roberts, of Age Cymru, said Wales has an ageing population so there is a need to adapt to the needs of this section of the community.
He said: “One in four adults in Wales are currently aged 65 or over and by 2031 one in three of us will be aged 65 or over. The population of Wales is ageing more quickly than the rest of the UK.
“This is because of the numbers of people who come here to retire.
“We need policies to adapt to the needs of our ageing population, and provide access to services that promote healthy eating, physical activity, that help us stay healthier for longer.”
There were warnings Wales’ popularity as a retirement destination risked forcing younger people out of popular areas, increasing the concentration of one age group.
People aged 16-29 make up less than 20% of the population in 80% of Wales as they move away from the predominantly rural parts of the country.
Shelter Cymru spokeswoman Ceri Dunstan said: “Wales as a whole urgently needs far more affordable homes, but areas such as Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire are particularly vulnerable as their desirability as places for retirement or second homes means that the housing stock is considerably more expensive.
“When this is coupled with fewer jobs and generally lower wages for the jobs that do exist, it’s unfortunately not surprising that younger people are forced to move to other areas to find work and homes, which in turn has serious social and economic implications for communities.
“A greater investment in affordable housing is key to addressing this. More affordable homes would enable younger people who wished it to remain in the areas where they grew up, helping to make communities more balanced and sustainable.
“Building new homes or bringing empty homes back into use would also have significant economic benefits locally by providing training and employment opportunities for young people.”
A report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in 2008 warned rural areas of Wales could lose a generation of young people as the leave their hometowns to find affordable housing, as well as education and employment
The report said: “The levels of homelessness there exceed those of urban areas. There is net migration of young people, especially of highly educated young people, threatening the viability of some communities.
“This, of course, is an old phenomenon, but one must think that there will come a time when the countryside cannot afford, demographically or linguistically, to lose any more of its talented youngsters.”
A Welsh Government spokesman said: “As Wales’ population gets older, it is increasingly important that older people are involved in planning and developing services that affect them. Services need to evolve to take into account the changing demographic of the population.
“At the same time, we are committed to doing all that we can to ensure young people have the opportunities necessary to stay in their local community – be that in providing appropriate educational opportunities, jobs, skills and ensuring an appropriate supply of housing.”

Things to Reflect While Buy Car Battery-car battery in dubai
In a period ago, essential of electricity in car bounds only to power the catalyst plugs and perhaps lights, the sound signal is fed physically horn but the energy difficulties of modern vehicles has augmented by one, or even two orders of magnitude.

Ampere Hour (Ah): It is the volume of a battery, that is, the amount of electricity that can store a battery. The extra "Ampere-Hour" has a battery, the lengthier it takes to download, so it resolve be tougher to run out of battery (for example, if we are connected electrical appliances). 44Ah is suitable capacity of battery.
Amperes (A) of start ability: It is the total of energy that can provide cold runs to start the lorry. The larger, extra simply start the car. Buy car battery with total of energy of about 440A.
Dimensions: The engine sections are attractive snugger, so it is needed to know the supreme size of the battery fits in the dump for us to it. It is repeatedly not conceivable to base a battery size load features and higher start-up.
Position positive terminal: The depots are metal racks where the optimistic and negative opposites of the battery are located. Usually, if we put the battery with the contiguous to the front terminals, the confident terminal is on the right, but 5-10% of cases you will find on the left. It is imperative to note the position of the confident terminal since you cannot change the division of the bus.
Start & Stop: If the car has this organization of fuel that the engine once the car stops, would set up a system especially intended for that battery.
Voltage: All batteries inside cars run on 12V.

Prime Day Products Perfect for Any Construction Pro
Amazon Prime Day typically has fantastic deals on tools and gear for pros. And even though this year's event got pushed to October, we're still seeing great opportunities for savings.
Our editors and experts handpick every product we feature. We may earn a commission from your purchases.
DeWalt Pancake Air Compressor
Tired of lugging a massive air compressor around a jobsite only to use it to shoot a few nails from a brad nailer? Then take a look at this compact, lightweight air compressor from DeWalt. It’s perfect for small in-and-out jobs. It weighs just over 30 pounds while still achieving a max PSI of 165. It may not power large pneumatic tools like framing nailers, but it will provide more than enough pressure for smaller applications.
Why It Made Our Wishlist: This is a great secondary air compressor. It could serve as a worthy backup in a situation where your main compressor fails, and it’s a great stand-in when you don’t need the maximum amount of pneumatic power. Keep an eye out for deals on this and similar models come Prime Day.
All products are available now but discounts will be offered on select products throughout Amazon Prime Day (Oct. 13-14).
Waxed Canvas Heavy Duty Work Apron
Anyone who regularly works with sawdust, stain or paint should look into a work apron. This quality apron from Texas Canvas Wares is packed full of smart design choices clearly made with pros in mind.
First off, there are plenty of pockets, something that no work apron should be without. It’s also got hammer loops on both sides to accommodate right- and left-handed users, plus a convenient strap over the middle pocket to keep things like your cell phone or notepad from sliding out when you lean over.
Why It Made Our Wishlist: The durable waxed canvas material practically guarantees this apron will last a long, long time. That makes it a great purchase any time of the year — and even more so if it’s on sale.
Vemingo Document Holder
The average jobsite can be a brutal place, especially on days when the weather turns nasty. Keep project plans, blueprints and electronic devices safe from the elements (and anything else that might ding them up) with this document holder from Vemingo. It’s made from weather-resistant and fireproof silicone-coated fiberglass, keeping documents and devices safe against temperatures up to 2000 degrees F.
Why It Made Our Wishlist: Think of this bag as an inexpensive form of insurance for your most important jobsite documents. It might seem unnecessary now, but there’s a good chance you’ll thank us later.
Bentgo Lunch Box
Eating healthy isn’t always easy when you’re constantly on the move from jobsite to jobsite. Getting a lunchbox specifically designed for salads is a good way to start off on a healthier path.
This Bentgo lunch box has three compartments on its top layer to store an assortment of salad toppings (or less health-conscious snacks) and a sealable container for sauces. The bottom compartment can hold up to 54 ounces of food, more than enough to keep you sustained over a long work day.
Why It Made Our Wishlist: Lunch is often the best part of the work day. This lunch box will allow you to get more creative with what you pack and could improve your quality of life more than a tool upgrade ever could.
Seven-Piece Screwdriver Set
Made from high quality metals with a hard chrome finish, the screwdrivers in this set are designed to fit snugly, eliminating the possibility of stripping out the heads of small hardware. The rotating caps on the end of the handle allow you to control the entire tool with just your fingertips, and the tapered handles make them easy to turn quickly and efficiently.
Why It Made Our Wishlist: You’ve probably got a set of large and bulky screwdrivers stuck into your tool bag. But what about screwdrivers for smaller applications? Buy this set and keep it on hand for situations that require a more exact and precise touch.

Question by casey11. Uploaded on March 15, 2011
First off do not use bleach. It will wreck the skull.
You need to get some Hydrogen Peroxide, not the same stuff that you use for cuts,but simular. 35% to 45% and it is dangerous to use can cause burns and respitory problems. Use need to use resperator and gloves. Get a pot of boiling water and add 1 cup baking soda to it and cook the skull for 1/2 hr making sure all the meat comes off.Take a wire brush and soak and water and scrub off. let that dry. Then get some white gas,parts cleaner,brake clean or lantern gas. Nothing with an oil base to it. And soak the skull overnight. Remove and air dry. Then take a pint or so of peroxide and mix it with magnezium carbonate make a paste up.take a paint brush and cover the skull with the paste. Make sure you are wearing gloves as you don't want this stuff on you. Hang the skull over some paper outside or in your garage/shed and let it drip dry. When dry put resperator back on and gloves and brush the dried paste off. DO NOT GET ON ANTLERS it will wreck them faster then you can get this stuff off. keep away from concrete floors too it stains/bleaches out. When its all brushed off rinse in clean cold water. Dry and spray poly over it. Costs you about $45 to do it yourself. Good luck and be very careful. Actual process is WHITING not BLEACHING
well i have done put bleach in a bucket in and put the skull in the bleach
Dermestid beetles is the best way to make a European mount. It costs some money -- but the skull turns out PERFECT.
The guys below did a skull for me. They have interesting info on their site.
find your own beetles. and beds or hand pick the meat abd fiber off the skull. I boil mine in a crawfish cooker to soften tissue make its removal easier. using very long neddle nosed pliers I'll remove as much out of the critters nasal area. Drive to a high pressure car wash and use the baslting water to remove any tissue that might still be clinging
Then I'll brush on the Hydrogen Peroxide to dry. Takes me 1 -2 days.
u buried some skulls underground, make the critters do it for me.

Introducing our second blog in the “Celebrating Diversity: Voices from our Kyruus Health Community” series: As we continue to honor diversity and amplify voices within Kyruus Health, our second blog spotlights Tina Brown-Stevenson, a remarkable individual whose journey has woven through various roles, shaping her perspective on healthcare.
From being a Registered Nurse to her position as SVP at United Healthcare Networks, to now being a Kyruus Health board member, Tina shares insights on her identity, experiences, and the crucial role of equitable care access in health for the Black community.
Join us in delving into Tina’s story, discovering the layers of her identity beyond a black woman, and understanding the challenges and triumphs she navigates in the healthcare landscape. As we celebrate Black History Month, let Tina’s narrative inspire us to advocate for inclusivity, access, and cultural sensitivity in healthcare, echoing Kyruus Health’s commitment to a more equitable and compassionate future.
Member of the Kyruus Health board of directors
Tell us a bit about your background and the story of how you came to be connected to Kyruus Health?
I’m a registered nurse by background. My expertise in leveraging facts and information to improve healthcare makes me passionate about what I do, because data doesn’t lie. It’s important to remember that healthcare has nuances though — it’s not just about hard data but about people.
I joined the Kyruus Health board via a search firm, but I also knew another board member, Gary Gottlieb, who helped me to secure the position. This shows why it is important to leave a positive legacy imprint with people.
How would you identify yourself?
Patricia Hill Collins has a book about intersectionality that describes how you can define yourself as ‘black, a woman, a wife.’ It’s kind of the matrix of that intersectionality. Obviously, I identify as a black woman, but I am so much more than that.
How would you describe your experience with this identity?
I love this question. You are often told how you should be. In high school, I was told I could be a teacher, social worker, or nurse and it really shaped my identity.
As an African American and a woman, I used to subconsciously apologize in situations that I shouldn’t because it was programmed into me, like when someone stepped on my foot. I don’t do those things anymore.
What is something about you that you want others to know more about?
I am tenacious and persistent to a fault — I mean that in a good and bad way. I will
keep pushing until they knock me down. It can be a very discouraging thing if you don’t know how to say, “we will reset our sights or go about it a different way.” So I always ask coworkers and people I work with to push back on me.
From your perspective, what does celebrating Black History Month mean to you?
It’s joyful. It means being proud. It makes you take a step back and think of other minorities and what they’re going through. Living in Florida has broadened my perspective on Spanish-Americans and what other minorities experience. You can love and embrace your history and be sensitive to other people’s history. I remember when Black History Month first became a thing, much like Juneteenth did recently, and everyone thought, “it’s not going to last,” but it has become celebratory.
How would you encourage your colleagues to honor and celebrate this month?
Every year I read another book. This year’s book is “Pregnant While Black: Advancing Justice for Maternal Health in America” by Monique Rainford. I chose this book because I am a neonatal nurse clinician by practice. In my field, you see the illnesses babies experience, as well as illnesses mother’s experience. Black women experience all of that and more — prenatal, postnatal, and challenges in having the medical community listen to them. I’ve seen first hand the lack of access issues African-Americans face in our country.
This year my daughter and I will also be going to the Boston Museum of Science’s new exhibit from ReRooted, an immersive experience of Black hair culture, part of the Museum’s Black History Month celebration.
How do you perceive the role of care access in health for the Black community?
Care access for the Black community is getting worse because of the challenges in the healthcare system itself. There are less practitioners, less appointment availability, and more illnesses being identified, but Kyruus Health is on the cusp of ensuring that everyone has access to quality care.
There is a stigma about mental health in the black community — there’s a “get over it” mindset. If a new mom going through postpartum depression has other kids with mental health illnesses, now you have a depressed mom taking care of a newborn and depressed teenager. If the teenager doesn’t receive the attention they need, it becomes an avalanche of cascading issues.
People also face challenges in obtaining adjunctive services. Exploring the possibility of co-locating services, which involves providing medical care along with child care, and advocating for legislation that supports individuals needing treatment without jeopardizing work commitments would have a positive impact on care access.
Lastly, emphasizing culturally appropriate care is crucial and fostering diversity should begin by incorporating culturally appropriate training in medical schools.
What are the most significant gaps that must be addressed to achieve more equitable care?
Basic public health is where we need to start, ensuring people have access to fresh fruit, transportation to medical appointments, and so on. Public health should focus on prevention and early diagnosis. In the simplest words, we can encourage folks by telling them to move and think good thoughts. Emphasizing that healthcare starts with you is important.
Some questions we should be asking are, how do you as a physician or school counselor help people feel more confident given their beliefs? How do you help people understand the basic diagnosis? The public health system needs to help the healthcare system better meet people where they are.

With “Smart” Devices Everywhere, Why Are Our Remote Controls So Dumb?
The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought on unprecedented technological transformation. Increasingly, we’re living in an age of “connectedness,” where everything from smartphones, smart gadgets, smart cars, and even smart homes are connected to the Internet. As this technology evolves to provide us with more connected experiences, our everyday lives become more convenient and comfortable through smarter living.
However, despite IoT innovations, one area of electronics remains frustrating to use. Of course, I’m talking about remote controls. Trying to use a remote control with a smart TV for anything more than channel changing or volume adjusting usually leads to a frustrating experience. There’s nothing worse than struggling with unresponsive buttons or dealing with a dud remote that refuses to connect to the Internet. It can even be downright embarrassing when you’re the hosting company, but you can’t get the TV to work.
Smart TVs aren’t exactly a new concept, so why are our remote controls so dumb?
A Quick Rundown of Remote Controls
In the 1950s, the first wireless TV remotes became available. Unlike today’s battery-powered remotes, these remotes were mechanical and simple. Pushing a button caused a small hammer inside the control to hit an aluminum bar, which produced an ultrasonic sound. The TV would interpret these sounds as commands, such as turning the TV on or off, turning the volume up or down, or changing the channel. This is where we get the name “clicker,” as each button press made a clicking sound.
Ultrasonic remotes were the standard until the 1980s, when remotes began using infrared (IR) light signals that are still used today. IR remotes use LED lights to transmit infrared signals to the TV, emitting pulses of invisible infrared light that correspond to specific binary codes. IR remotes became popular as consumers began to demand a more sophisticated remote with greater functionality, and as the price of transistors decreased, making cheaper electronic remotes possible.
Today, the majority of remote controls are still IR-based. However, to enhance the end-user experience, TV manufacturers have begun experimenting with more advanced features on remotes, including Wi-Fi® / Bluetooth® connectivity, keyboard interfaces, and even touchscreen functionality. While these features are impressive, there is one advanced feature that manufacturers are just beginning to explore: voice recognition.
The Future of Remote Control: Voice Recognition
By adding voice recognition to a TV remote control, the entire user experience turns on its head. Typical inconveniences that may come with the pushing of buttons, such as transmit delays, lost progress, and tedious spelling work, can be eliminated entirely. Other potential issues, such as needing to maintain a line of sight or needing sufficient light to see the buttons, are also gone.
In a voice-enabled remote, the interaction between the user and the remote becomes instant. The user activates the remote and speaks their command. These commands don’t have to adhere to the rigid menu structures found in most remotes, allowing the user a more flexible and convenient experience.
For example, a user can press the activation button on their remote and give the instruction, “Record the program ‘Shark Tank’ tonight at 6 pm.” With standard remotes, the user has to navigate dense menus and manually set the system to record the program. However, with a voice-enabled remote, it’s as simple as activating the remote, speaking the command, and confirming the action.
Why Not Use Voice-Enabled TVs?
When we use something like Alexa®, Google®, or Siri® for voice control, our voices are digitized and sent over the Internet to be processed. With most smart TVs connected to the Internet, you might be wondering: why can’t I just speak to my TV?
For one, without any interaction from a remote control, a TV would have to be listening to recognize your voice directly at all times. While some TVs are capable of this, the always-listening aspect has raised user concerns about privacy and security. Even without consulting any data, it’s safe to say that most people are uncomfortable having their home conversations being recorded continuously and sent over the Internet.
Secondly, always-listening TVs face technological challenges. The TV must be able to isolate commands from surrounding noise, whether from background conversations or from the TV audio itself.
Using a remote to initiate voice commands addresses both of these concerns. Users can choose when to engage with the remote control, and their voice only has to travel inches away to the remote rather than across a room to the TV.
Why Don’t We Have Voice-Enabled Remote Everywhere?
If voice recognition in remote controls can simplify remote usage so much, why isn’t it in every remote on the market? For one, the data and processing power needed to perform voice recognition is more than what most remote controls are capable of. In fact, most TVs and smartphones are only beginning to make use of voice recognition through cloud computing.
Currently, key factors holding back the broad adoption of voice-enabled remote controls are cost, infrastructure, and technology.
Cost is a hugely motivating factor for manufacturers and product designers. The bill of materials (BOM) for a voice-enabled remote will contain additional components, such as a microphone and processor. The cost for the TV and the infrastructure supporting voice recognition must also be considered.
Even if a remote can support voice recognition, there needs to be infrastructure on the back- end to process and decode the user’s commands. The TV provider, therefore, must develop a reliable voice recognition engine or purchase one from a third-party. Infrastructure is one area that continues to evolve as companies look for ways to improve the user experience.
In terms of technology, several hurdles must be overcome. For one, smart remotes must be power-efficient since they typically use standard, non-rechargeable AA batteries. And despite the extra load brought on by voice recognition features like Push-to-Talk (PTT) and the wake word engine (WWE), which generally consume a lot of power, consumers still expect to use their remote without frequent battery replacement.
Secondly, voice recognition in remote controls needs to work effectively in noisy environments, at varying distances from users (usually 3-9 feet). These remotes must be able to isolate the user’s voice command from any surrounding noise and process it instantaneously. The remote must be able to do this day in and day out, year after year.
How Ambiq is Enabling Voice Recognition in Remotes
Ambiq’s ultra-low-power microprocessors are transforming remote controls, both in terms of their capabilities and their potential. By enabling always-on voice detection and recognition, remote controls can do more than change the channel. Quickly, these remote controls are evolving into virtual assistants capable of integrating into our homes for a wireless and hands-free environment.
By utilizing Bluetooth wireless technology chipsets and specialized embedded microprocessors, Ambiq® is helping remote controls behave more intuitively for smoother user experience.

A beautiful property with wonderful owners. It's location is just amazing with a gorgeous view!
We had a wonderful time exploring Portland and the surrounding area. We will definitely consider this property again in the future!
Outstanding property and hosts
We enjoyed out stay very much and look forward to returning. John and Betty are outstanding hosts and very helpful with suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. The apartment is perfectly located on the East End, across from Fort Allen Park and the Eastern Promenade. If you go, do take advantage of the excellent bikes and the Eastern Promenade paved bike and walking trail. There is a bike rack down at the CAT Ferry terminal which proved a very convenient alternative to walking for visits to Portland's Old Port district.
Absolutely Charming Apt (and hosts)
The apartment is even more charming than described. I read most all of the reviews prior to booking, and because they are so positive, I had high expectations. I'm happy to confirm that our stay at "Morning on the Atlantic" exceeded my expectations. This place will make you fall in love with Portland.
Great location, charming house
My husband and I recently stayed here for 3 nights. First of all, John is so nice to deal with. He met us outside at arrival. I immediately felt like we were friends. He helped with luggage and gave us a great summary of things nearby, then walked us upstairs and showed us around. The place is large and you will be comfortable here. It's very clean and obvious that John cares about his home and the people who rent from him. We parked our car and never moved it for 3 1/2 days. Ask him about his complimentary bikes and helmets. You will be able to ride everywhere you want to go. Save yourself the expense of renting bikes and stay here. He also provides free laundry room and had detergent for our use (again, another money savings to you) Portland was great, this was our first visit to the City. We also took John's bikes on the Casco Ferry to Peaks Island and spent 3 or 4 hours touring the island and relaxing. Don't miss this trip! The large bathroom here appeared to be newly remodeled. There is a huge glass walk in shower and he provides great toiletries. There were no negatives about staying here, but, to give an honest review, I have a few minor suggestions, Maybe, a window shade on the living room window (the one you see from the bedroom (we had to keep the bedroom door open at night to get the cold air from the living room A/C, and because of this, the morning sun woke us up earlier than we would have like on vacation. And the only other suggestion would be to have new bed pillows. Thanks John, if you'll have Aron and I, we'd love to return to your wonderful rental.
Thank you ,Texas Travelers, for your kind 5 star review.
We hope you enjoyed your stay in Camden & Bar Harbor as much as you did that in Portland.
On receiving your review we traveled to Freeport's Cuddledown and replaced the pillows, something which had been on our "to do" list. We were well aware of the bright early morning sun rising out of the Atlantic and into the bedroom but had overlooked the indirect light coming in from Morning Street on the south side. We have remedied that.
Thank you so much for your constructive comments. And do please come again.
Our best regards,
Betty & John
Morning on the Atlantic
You’ll fall in love with it immediately
I truly can’t say enough good things about this place and how amazing John and Betty are. John greeted us, helped us carry our bags and gave us a walk through of the apartment explaining everything. It’s a 3rd floor apartment with great views. The apartment itself is beautiful, clean, and the best place I could have found to stay in Portland. The location is perfect as well. Walking distance to everything. I can’t wait to come back for another visit some day.
The property was absolutely beautiful. It really was my home away from home.
I loved staying here and I’m kinda sad to go lol. I was here for 6 weeks during school and John and Betty did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable and happy. This was honestly the best place I’ve stayed at in all the times I’ve moved around the country for school.

Report says visa process improved after terrorist attacks
Large workloads and unchecked authority in State Department offices that issue visas may have created vulnerabilities in the system for letting visitors and immigrants into the United States, but the system has been improved, according to a report (GAO-03-132NI) released Monday.
The General Accounting Office said that before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, consular offices around the world "adopted practices that reduced the amount of time for reviewing visa applications" and in some cases could not access the right information in State databases to alert immigration authorities about questionable foreign visitors.
But since Sept. 11, the report said, the government has taken measures to "strengthen the visa process," including bolstering the technology to keep "lookout" lists of potential terrorists routinely updated. GAO recommended that State create clear policies on its visa-issuing process and enhance training of staff to meet those new guidelines.

MENOMINEE, Mich., Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Hundreds of people gathered Sunday to mourn a Wisconsin teen who took two dozen hostages at his high school only to free them before killing himself.
The memorial service was held in an auditorium at Blesch Intermediate School in Menominee, Mich., just across the Menominee River from the Marinette High School in Marinette, Wis., where Sam Hengel held classmates and a teacher at gunpoint for several hours last Monday before releasing them and then turning one of his guns on himself.
The auditorium was set up with a tent, canoe, evergreen trees and a fake campfire to replicate a campground, the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported. The 15-year-old Boy Scout loved camping, the newspaper said. There were photos of happy times.
Those at the memorial remembered Hengel as a gentle, caring person who was respected by other kids and liked to have fun. They grasped for reasons why he might have chosen to kill himself.
"Why, Sam, why?" the Rev. Nick Johannes of Porterfield Lutheran Church asked.
"This is not about Sam's sin. This is about the world's sin. Something has gone terribly wrong."
The ceremony included warnings about youth suicide and information about a suicide hotline.
"Let us learn from this tragedy," said Hank Johnston, a leader of Hengel's Scout troop.
Dozens of Boy Scouts in uniform stood in formation, saluted their friend and sang a Scout song.
The youth's father, Jon Hengel, spoke to the mourners and to his son.
"Sam, you are in good hands now," he said through tears. "Someday when we meet again, you can tell me what happened."

Eugene Laverty is leaving the World Superbike Championship to race in MotoGP next year.
The 28-year-old Toomebridge rider, who has 13 World Superbike victories, has yet to confirm which MotoGP team he will be competing with.
Laverty won this season's opening race in Australia with Crescent Suzuki but has struggled since and lies seventh in the 2014 series.
His brother Michael competes in MotoGP with the Paul Bird Motorsport team.
"We still have two rounds remaining and my aim is to climb back up on that rostrum before I move to MotoGP in 2015," said Eugene.

The process of moving is inherently a stressful one. Moving with dogs or other pets in tow is all the more demanding. You’ve taken advantage of checklists for your move, hired high-quality movers to take some of the pressure off you and your family, and finally stopped procrastinating on packing. Whether you’re relocating to a distant city or making a local move, a few tips will help you to move with your dogs without freaking them out.
Prepare for Moving Day in Advance
If you have a trusted friend or family member available, the AKC recommends setting up a playdate for your pup for moving day. Your dog is probably confused by the boxes and picking up on your increased stress levels already—by letting them miss the chaos of movers going in and out of the house with your furniture and other belongings, you’ll help lessen that discomfort.
Talk to Your Movers
If you don’t have somewhere else to let your dogs stay for a while, give your movers a heads up that your furry family members will be around. Move your pup into a crate, if you can. At the very least, be sure they’re leashed and securely in a harness so you can maintain control. As Solomon & Sons Relocation, the moving company Fort Lauderdale FL depends on for superior relocation and storage solutions puts it, “When using a mover, remember that you are the customer and the boss. If you have any concerns at all, contact your move coordinator immediately.” Communicate with your moving company for the best results possible.
Pack What They’ll Need Separately
As you’re traveling to your new home, you’ll need to stop to let your pups relieve themselves, especially on a long-distance move. You don’t want to be ready to get in the car and leave only to realize their harness is packed away and on the moving truck! Make sure you have bags ready and accessible to pick up after them. Ensure you can get them food or treats as needed and a bottle of water or two to keep them hydrated. Let a favorite toy or comforting blanket ride with them to make the trip as painless as possible.
When you arrive at the new house, too, the last thing you’ll want to do is dig through boxes to find what your dog needs right away. Be sure to take note of where your pet’s most important items are in your car or ask your movers to ensure they’re at the front of the truck or van for easy access.
Talk to Your Vet
If you’re worried about your pet’s nerves during the move, ask your vet about options for calming them during travel. They can recommend a commercially available calming treat or spray to lessen the toll or prescribe a more formal medication if needed. While you’re there, be sure to arrange for your pet’s medical records to be forwarded to your new dog-tor if the move involves switching veterinarians. If not, be sure to update your address and other information with the vet to save yourself the phone call later.
Ensure They’re Secure
Moving is stressful enough already—there’s no need to add in concerns for your dog’s safety, too. Make sure your pups are safely buckled into a harness and have everything they need for the ride. Research the best harness for dogs to keep your pet as safe as possible. You want to be confident that your dog’s harness will hold up along the trip, that you’ll have better control over your dog while they’re strapped in, and that your pup is comfortable in the harness. Opt for one made with breathable mesh so there’s no chance of them overheating (and control the car’s temperature accordingly, of course).
By making preparations in advance, communicating with your movers and veterinarian, and investing in a quality harness to keep your pup safe, you can move with your dogs while keeping them—and yourself—as stress-free as possible.

Millennial and Gen-Z workers are moving quality of life to the forefront, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s a growing trend that can’t, and won’t be ignored, considering that these types of workers make up the majority workforce today, and also represent the future of our workforce. Younger workers are clearly changing the way they work, and how we as a society will work as a whole.
Now more than ever, people have begun working outside of “the office.” Some companies today exist entirely thanks to a telecommuting workforce. It’s clear that the idea of sitting at a cubicle for eight hours is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
While the concept of remote working has been around for years, the new technological advancements have made it a practical solution. We’ve now reached a point where cloud based infrastructures have been created, video calls and telework have been normalized, and network connectivity troubles have been nearly erased. With new tools and accepted norms in place, the younger generation of workers are bringing about a future of remote work focused on helping people “live” in addition to just “working.”
There’s currently a shifting concept of what a “workplace” is. With the mainstream acceptance of remote work, we’ve seen that workers are still productive outside of the office, if not more productive.
The at-home workforce today are looking for the most comfortable work environment to inspire their best work. Remote work helps employees find that environment that works best for them. With the flexibility to work in new locations, remote workers gain the inspiration needed to put out quality work. At the same time, employers keep costs low and minimize overhead by reducing the need for office space.
Companies today have already seen the mutual benefits of remote work and have begun investing in remote methodologies for their workers. This has led to several new trends which can be seen below:
As more workers demand flexible work arrangements, companies are beginning to adjust their own methods of work. Employers are starting to realize the benefits of remote work not only for their workers, but also the work they produce and their bottom line.
The million dollar question: where is remote work headed?
In the short-term, 2021, we’ll likely to see an influx of remote work opportunities begin sprouting up. Because of current safety conditions and potential cost savings, it’s likely that more and more companies will shift to remote work. As productivity and well-being benefits are being quickly realized, a widespread shift to remote work in the long-term is inevitable. With a shift away from standard office setups, to more flexible hours, we could even see companies hire workers to complete tasks at all hours of the day.
It’s impossible to see exactly what the future has in store, but recent events and data indicate that remote work is here to stay. This evidence suggests that remote work will be a major part of companies in the years to come and will permanently alter traditional ways of working norms as we know them. This is the new normal.
So, where do we go from here? Touria is developing incredible solutions that will transform how and where we work.

joe-biden” target=”_blank”>President Biden<” during remarks Wednesday at the National Action Network’s national convention – one of the largest civil rights conferences in the country.
Biden delivered opening remarks focused on the state of civil rights and racial equality in the United States to the virtual convention of the organization, led and founded by Rev. Al Sharpton.
“This organization has always been an essential voice, but never more essential than it is today,” Biden said. “Upholding and advancing the security and prosperity of health and well-being, dignity, possibilities of all Black Americans.”
“It’s at a time when the pandemic and the economic crisis continue to devastate Black communities, at a time when the cry for justice for a hundred years in the making is ringing out across our nation,” Biden said.
“At a time when parts of our country are backsliding,” he continued. “The days of Jim Crow, passing laws that harken back to the era of poll taxes, when Black people were made to guess how many beans – how many jelly beans in a jar, or count the number of bubbles in a bar of soap before they could cast their ballot.”

He added: “This is was un-American then and it’s un-American today. But you’re fighting. You’re fighting for the soul of America.”
The president has invoked Jim Crow in the past several weeks, specifically when referring to Georgia’s new voting law.
“It is reassuring to see that for-profit operations and businesses are speaking up about how these new Jim Crow laws that are just antithetical to who we are,” the president told reporters last week, after organizations and businesses pulled their events and sponsorships out of Georgia amid the passage of the voting law, which critics claim make voting more difficult for minorities.
Georgia enacted sweeping election reform earlier this month that required voter ID for absentee voting rather than relying on signature matching for verification, limited ballot drop boxes to one per county or one per 100,000 voters, expanded early voting days, and standardized early voting hours to a minimum of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and a maximum of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The legislation barred outside groups from passing out food and water to those in line within 150 feet of a polling place.
The law also handed more election authority to the GOP-controlled state legislature. It states that the General Assembly is to select the chair of the state elections board, rather than the board being chaired by the Georgia secretary of state. It also shortens runoffs from nine weeks to four.
The president also invoked Jim Crow last month, while defending the Democrats’ H.R. 1 voting reform bill and their efforts to get rid of the filibuster, and as he slammed proposed reforms to voting laws in states across the country.
Biden, last month, said he agreed with former President Obama’s assessment that the filibuster was a “Jim Crow relic.”
Biden was also asked whether he worries that Republicans in states across the country proposing legislation to curb voting access could cost Democrats control of Congress during the 2022 midterms.
“I’m convinced that we’ll be able to stop this, because it is the most pernicious thing – this makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle,” he said.
Biden added: “This is gigantic what they’re trying to do and it cannot be sustained.”
Meanwhile, the president, during his remarks Wednesday, said he is “proud to stand” with the Black community, while touting his American Rescue Plan as a package “helping us beat the pandemic and deliver checks into Americans pockets.”
“That law, on its own is projected to cut poverty in the Black community by 37%,” Biden said.
But, the president added, from his perspective, “it’s only the beginning.”
“My American Jobs Plan will make generational investments in rebuilding America, delivering good jobs, equity and opportunity to Black neighborhoods, that never seem to get dealt in on the American dream, replacing every lead drinking water pipe in America so that you never have to worry about another Flint,” Biden said, referring to his multitrillion-dollar spending plan.
“We have so much work to do from criminal justice to police reform, to addressing health disparities and voting rights,” Biden said. “But I know that, together, we’re going to continue to make extraordinary progress.”
Also speaking at the virtual convention Wednesday was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
