Tõnis Sildaru, the father of Estonian Olympic freestyle skiing bronze medalist Kelly Sildaru, has been acquitted on charges of assault and threatening behavior, as the Prosecutor's Office said there was insufficient evidence against him. Sildaru was however, charged with the illegal use of property earned by his underage daughter.
At the end of December, the Northern District Prosecutor's Office charged Tõnis Sildaru with embezzlement. Evidence gathered during the pre-trial investigation suggested that, between 2014 and 2020, Tõnis Sildaru had illegally used property earned by his minor daughter for his own benefit as well as for the benefit of third parties.
"A parent is the legal representative and custodian of the assets of their offspring until the child reaches the age of maturity. However, this does not mean that a parent can treat property belonging to the child as if it belonged to themselves. On the contrary, a parent must keep the property belonging to their child separately and may only use it for the maintenance of the child, the management of the property or other current expenses relating to the child. However, it is worth bearing in mind that it is the parents who must support the child, not the child themselves," said Leelet Kivioja, a specialized prosecutor at the North District Prosecutor's Office.
"The materials of the pre-trial investigation indicate that Tõnis Sildaru, as the child's guardian, has repeatedly withdrawn cash and made transfers to himself and to third parties from his daughter's bank account. However, the Prosecutor's Office is not convinced that the money was used in the interests of his daughter," Kivioja added.
"Therefore, the main question in the upcoming court proceedings is whether Tõnis Sildaru's transactions with the assets belonging to the child were in the child's best interests or not. According to the charges, Tõnis Sildaru did not conduct transactions worth approximately €1 million in the interests of his child, but instead used the assets for his own benefit and the benefit of third parties."
Initially, Tõnis Sildaru had also been suspected of physical abuse and other threatening behavior. "As the pre-trial investigation was not able to prove any specific episodes of violence or threats that could have led to a prosecution, the Prosecutor's Office dropped criminal proceedings in this respect," said Kivioja.
The Sildaru family feud first came to light in the spring of 2020, when it emerged that assets earned by Kelly Sildaru over the years had been brought to court in order to be divided. On one side of the family was Tõnis and his son Henry, with Olympic bronze medalist Kelly her mother Lilian on the other. In 2021, Kelly Sildaru told ERR investigative news show "Pealtnägijja" that she had been a victim of domestic violence for a number of years.
"We are investigating incidents committed in the period between 2018 and 2019, that is, domestic physical abuse and also large-scale misappropriation," Sirle Melk, senior prosecutor of the Northern District Prosecutor's Office, told "Pealtnägijja" at the time.
"There were several episodes of physical abuse, and according to the allegations, he committed them against both his partner and his daughter Kelly."
Tõnis Sildaru denied the charges. "There are obviously malicious games going on here," he told "Pealtnägija" over the phone.

The Economist’s description of its video article lays out the bleak reality of the problems facing tobacco harm reduction and vaping: “A youth vaping ‘epidemic’ and a mysterious outbreak of lung disease in America has led to curbs on e-cigarette flavours. A backlash against vaping is perpetuating myths about nicotine-based e-cigarette products that are not backed up by scientific research.”
Professor Robert West opens with a stark fact: “Something in the region of 7 million people a year are dying because they smoke. E-cigarettes can provide a route out of smoking for many of those people.”
In the ten years since vaping became a mainstream product, “e-cigarettes are more controversial than ever before.” The video shows clips from American news stations and a speech by the United States Surgeon General Jerome Adams, before announcing that thirty countries have now banned vaping altogether.
“The facts have gone up in smoke! America has been in the grip of a health scare over e-cigarettes because of a deadly outbreak of what is being called ‘EVALI’.”
Professor Robert West explains: “In the United States, you’ve got a market that is really not well regulated, it’s possible for manufacturers to these dangerous chemicals into the liquids [Vitamin E Acetate]. But in addition to that, you’ve got this varied legalisation of cannabis and heavy usage of cannabis oil. Put the two together and you’ve got a very dangerous situation.”
“The concern is that e-cigarette users who have used an e-cigarette to stop smoking will go back to smoking. If that happens, many lives will be lost,” states West.
This is a fact that should be all-too apparent to Professor Martin McKee, but he either doesn’t understand it or he doesn’t care. Responding to NHS Scotland promoting vaping in its smoking cessation leaflets, he told the Sunday Times: “The evidence that they help people quit is very weak. They may help some people if used as part of a structured counselling programme, but may also reduce the likelihood that others will quit.”
“Health Scotland is also circumspect about safety, which is appropriate given growing evidence of their harmful effects. It is also important to take note of their comment that if they are safer, then any benefits are only obtained by quitting cigarettes entirely. Many people use both, which means that they get the risks of both too.”
There are 7 million reasons for McKee to reconsider his position.

Ice has very little friction. Friction is a force, and when an object (like a ball) rolls or travels, it it pulls the opposite way on the object, causing it to slow down.
Or, let's say I was roller-skating on grass. There would be a lot of friction that wouldn't let me move anywhere, and that would be the force I'm talking about.
Here's Newton's second law. Here, F stands for force, m stands for mass, and a stands for acceleration.
So, this equation helps you find the force of an object, animal, or person. All you have to do is multiply the object, animal, or person's mass by their acceleration, and you get the force.
Newton's 2nd Law:"F = ma"
Let's calculate it's force together!
Take this tractor for example!
By using our handy-dandy scale, we now know that the tractor's mass is 35,000 lbs.
25 miles per hour
By driving this tractor, we now know that it's average acceleration is 25 mph.
So, we know F = ma. In this case, m = 35,000 and a = 25. In order to calculate the force, we must multiply 35,000 by 25. When this is done, we get F = 875,000 N (N = newtons).
a = 25 mph
m = 35,000 lbs
F = ma
F = 35,000 25
F = 875,000 N

When my dad passed away in November – my life changed forever – I remember writing about it once, how my life would always be separated into two parts, the time before and the time after my dad died – I’m now living in the part after my dad died.
Grief is an emotion that’s hard to understand, one that makes me feel the need to be busy all the time, because if I’m busy all the time then I have no time to be sad, but suddenly out of no where, it’ll feel like I hit a brick wall, like I suddenly realized that the sad story in my head isn’t from a book I put down last night, or from a TV show I turned off, it actually happened to me.
I remember two Septembers ago, when my dad was in the hospital with pneumonia, not quite a year since his diagnosis, I told Darren in the elevator, tearfully, that I just hoped when he was gone he’d send me signs – I asked for good cups of coffee, dogs that instantly liked me, and nothing but clouds when it came time to dry a freshly washed car – all things me and my dad held dear.
It took months – I thought he really was gone forever, that I’d never feel close to him again, I’d talk to him in the car, I’d play songs late at night that I could still hear him singing, but nothing, I just felt more alone.
Then, one night I had a dream, a dream that my dad wrote me and my mom a letter, and the letter was so obviously written by him. He started it by saying how bored he was in “Heaven,” or whatever we wanted to call it. He said there was no grass to be cut, no stonewalls to be built, and no dishes for him to wash and for me to dry.
When my dad got sick, before he lost the ability to type, and then the ability to write, and then all ability to communicate – I had hoped he would write me a letter, something to have after he was gone, I wish I would have asked him to, because he would have done anything I asked, but I wonder now if he didn’t because he was even more heartbroken to have to lose me, than I was to be losing him.
Then, a few nights ago, another dream – this time, my dad showed me a moment from two years ago from his point of view. Back then, we were driving to Albany a lot – appointments at the VA, appointments at the ALS center, appointments all the time. I would bring my laptop with me and work on articles for the freelance writing job I was doing – I’d write while I was in the waiting room, waiting for him and my mom. That day he was getting fitted for carbon fiber leg braces – at this point he was unable to stand up on his own and was struggling to walk without a cane, or me or my mom to lean on. Him and my mom started in one appointment in one room and ended up somewhere else. I grabbed a coffee and a snack after a bit and walked up to the floor they were supposed to finish up on.
When I got off the elevator – there he was, walking on his new legs, walking without help, walking toward me. Except, in my dream – I saw me getting off the elevator, I saw what my dad saw, me smiling, me laughing, me looking at him like he was my dad, instead of someone I needed to take care of. Then, I felt this overwhelming sense of pride. He was so proud to see me proud. There I was, looking at him with new, hopeful eyes and he was so happy – I felt so happy.
It never occurred to me that while I was watching my dad get weaker, he was watching me get stronger, as I was watching him growing older, he was watching me grow up – it never occurred to me how happy it would make him to have me smile like someone who had nothing to worry about, I wish I had smiled more like that when I had nothing to worry about.

7 Best Winter Destinations In Europe | STA Travel x Contiki European Magic Vlog
How to Visit Europe During the Winter
Visiting Europe in winter is a great way to see the sites on a budget. Because winter is considered the off-season, you'll find hotels and flights are cheaper. However, that doesn't mean that you'll be left out in the cold when it comes to entertainment. There's plenty to see and do in winter, and you'll be able to enjoy it more without crowds of people getting in your way.
Choosing a Destination
Try Mediterranean areas for warmer weather.If you've always wanted to visit places like Greece, the Canary Islands, Sicily, and the southern parts of countries like France, Spain, and Italy, winter is a great time to do it. You won't run into the crazy crowds you do in the summer, plus you'll still get relatively warm weather (think 50s and 60s) compared to the rest of Europe.
Pick winter climates for protection against cold weather.That is, if you choose cities that naturally have cold climates, you'll find that they have learned ways to deal with the cold. For instance, Prague has underground restaurants to help protect you from the cold. Additionally, many countries with colder climates specialize in warm winter drink and hearty winter food, such as hot chocolate in Switzerland and venison in Germany.
- Scandinavian countries, Switzerland, Germany, France, and Britain are just some countries that are beautiful in winter.
Let your budget guide you.Even in winter, some destinations are going to be more expensive than others. Before deciding on a destination, consider what you'll be able to spend. That will help guide where you go. For instance, it's often cheaper to stay in smaller towns rather than big cities. Tourist-dependent areas may also be fairly cheap in the winter.
Using Winter to Your Advantage
Look for Christmas and holiday markets.Many cities across Europe host Christmas and holiday markets, so they make a great destination before Christmas. You'll find local handmade crafts, treats, and other delights at these markets.Some cities that feature Christmas markets include Nurembourg and Heidelburg Germany, Strasbourg, France, and Bruges, Belgium.
- If you want to go after Christmas, try the International Film Festival in Dublin (January), the Kiruna Snow Festival (January), or Carnival in Venice (February).
- The Salzburg Music Festival also happens in winter.
Hit the slopes.Another option for winter in Europe is to engage in winter sports, such as skiing. Parts of Europe are iconic for these types of sports, including the Scandinavian countries and any country connected to the Alps.
- Winter sports and activities include more than just skiing and sledding. You can also go ice fishing, snow kiting, or ice skating, to name a few.
Pick a place with culture.While you'll likely find museums and indoor attractions in many European cities, winter can be a good time to visit the large cities that are rife with indoor cultural attractions. For instance, in cities like London, Paris, and Berlin, you'll find plenty of art museums, art galleries, theaters, and historic locations to keep you warm and entertained.
Visit for the aurora.The aurora or Northern Lights can be seen in the Scandinavian countries during the winter months; you may also be able see it in the northern parts of Scotland during the winter. Seeing this phenomenon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and a perfectly good reason to visit Europe in the winter.
Try an ice hotel.Winter is the perfect time to visit a chilly location that boasts an ice hotel. Most of these hotels are located in Scandinavia. Each winter, they are rebuilt completely from ice, and they make a truly unique destination.
Pick a location with spas and thermal baths.In colder countries, the locals know how to do it up right, taking warm baths in local springs and tubs and getting the spa treatment. Winter in Europe is a great time to experience this luxurious treatment for yourself, and you'll find these types of destinations in places like Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland, just to name a few.
Planning the Trip
Have your documents ready.When traveling to Europe, you'll need to have a passport. Depending on the country you're traveling from and how long you plan to stay, you may also need to apply for a visa. Check for the rules for your country when you're planning your trip.
- Keep in mind it can take a while to process your passport application, so start early.
- If you plan on driving in Europe, your driver's license will need to be up to date, as well.
Realize you can be spontaneous.In winter, flights and hotels won't be as booked up, making it easier to set off on a vacation at a moment's notice. Even booking late, it won't cost you an arm and a leg because you're traveling in the off season.
- In this vein, hunt around for deals. You may find a good deal that requires you to leave in a few days. Check budget traveling sites often to catch the best deals.
Go for higher-end.Because winter is the off-season in Europe, you can get a vacation similar to what you would have taken in the summer for much cheaper, or you can upgrade your vacation for about the same amount you would've paid for a less luxurious vacation in the summer. Either way, don't be afraid to check hotels you normally wouldn't to see if they're in your price range.

By John Connolly
NEW YORK, March 12, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Senegalese immigrant is suing a hospital for aborting her unborn child after doctors in the hospital misdiagnosed her pregnancy as ectopic.
Mbayme Ndoye, 29, filed a lawsuit in the Bronx Supreme Court in January against St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, and chose to make the details of her mistreatment at the hospital public in an interview with The New York Post on March 11. Ndoye went to Roosevelt Hospital with stomach cramps on October 15, where medical staff told her and her common-law husband, Papa Tourre, that she had an ectopic pregnancy. In an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo implants in the fallopian tube, and not the uterus. It is impossible for the child to survive an ectopic pregnancy, and such pregnancies pose a significant health risk to the mother.
Based on the hospital’s diagnosis, Ndoye agreed to terminate her pregnancy, and was given a shot of methotrexate, a drug that would kill the embryo. When Ndoye returned later in the day for a follow-up shot, the doctors informed her that the first diagnosis had been a mistake, and that her pregnancy was, in fact, healthy.
“I didn’t know I was pregnant,” Ndoye told The Post. “I would expect things like that to happen in a Third World country, not here. I still don’t understand how this could happen.”
Ndoye claims that doctors exerted heavy pressure for her to abort the pregnancy before she was informed of the mistake. She said the sonogram technician “freaked out” after her examination, and called a doctor, who advised termination of the pregnancy.
“I thought my life was threatened,” said Ndoye.
It was only later that she learned the technician and doctor had incorrectly read her first sonogram. Ndoye tried to obtain treatment from a private physician to save her child, but the methotrexate had already done its work. Her unborn child’s heartbeat stopped on October 29, and it was surgically removed.
Ndoye is suing the hospital for unspecified damages. A spokeswoman for the hospital declined to comment, pending the litigation.
“It’s a pretty horrific experience,” Brian Brown, Ndoye’s lawyer. “There’s a sense of shame, that maybe she’s responsible.”
Brown said that since the incident, Ndoye has been receiving counseling.
“She aborted her own healthy child, which she would not have done,” he said. “This is a pretty traumatic experience. This is an expectant mother’s worst nightmare, and now this family is left with the painful task of trying to recover physically, mentally and emotionally from this tragedy.”

Production process and flow of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose
Refined cotton - cotton opening - alkalization - etherification - neutralization - Separation - washing - Separation - drying - crushing - Packaging - finished hydroxypropyl methylcellulose: loosen the refined cotton to remove iron, and then crush it. The pulverized refined cotton is powdery, with a particle size of 80 mesh and a transmittance of 100%. Otherwise, it is easy to agglomerate in the reaction process and reduce the etherification efficiency.
Alkalization: the powdered refined cotton after cotton opening is added to the inert solvent and activated with alkali and soft water to make the lattice of the refined cotton swell, which is conducive to the penetration of etherifying agent molecules and improve the uniformity of etherification reaction. The alkali used for alkalization is metal hydroxide or organic alkali. The addition amount of alkali (by mass, the same below) is 0.1-0.6 times that of refined cotton, and the addition amount of soft water is 0.3-1.0 times that of refined cotton; The inert solvent is a mixture of alcohol and hydrocarbon. The amount of inert solvent is 7-15 times that of refined cotton. The inert solvent can also be alcohol with 3-5 carbon atoms (such as alcohol, propanol) and acetone. It can also be aliphatic hydrocarbon or aromatic hydrocarbon; During alkalization, the temperature shall be controlled within 0-35 ℃; The alkalization time is about LHR. The temperature and time can be adjusted according to the requirements of finished materials and products.
Etherification: after alkalization treatment, etherification is carried out by adding etherifying agent under vacuum. The etherifying agent is propylene oxide. In order to reduce the consumption of etherifying agent, etherifying agent is added twice in the etherification process. The first addition amount is 1-3.5 times that of refined cotton, and the total amount added twice is 1.5-4 times that of refined cotton. After adding etherifying agent for the first time, first stir at ≤ 30 ℃ for 45min-90min, then raise the temperature to 50-100 ℃ for etherification for 1-5h, and then lower the temperature to ≤ 30 ℃. For the second time, add etherifying agent for stirring for 30-120min, then raise the temperature for etherification for l-4h. At this time, the refined cotton fully reacts with etherifying agent, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is produced.
Crushing and packaging: the dried product of the invention is crushed and sieved. The particle size of the product of the invention after crushing and sieving is 40 mesh and the transmittance is 96%, or according to the needs of users. Then hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is packaged and delivered.


The Senate Committee on Public Accounts has queried the Ministry of Environment over 55 vehicles allegedly missing from its coffers.
The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Mathew Urhoghide, said on Thursday that the decision to query the Minstry was based on the 2018 report of the Auditor General.
The committee has invited its permanent secretary, Abel Olumuyiwa Enitan to explain the circumstances surrounding the missing vehicles.
He however, failed to defend the allegation. Also, his efforts to present some vehicles as part of the alleged missing vehicles were rejected because the vehicles had no chassis number.
The Auditor general’s report reads in part: “Audit observed that 55 vehicles were not presented for physical inspection; all efforts to inspect and confirm their existence proved abortive and the exact location of these vehicles could not be ascertained.
“We are aware that some officers take ministry vehicles away with them when going on transfer or retirement. The audit further observed that the motor vehicles’ logbooks had not been updated, making it difficult to track the movement of these vehicles and track their record of maintenance.
“It is also noted that some official vehicles carry private number plates and registered numbers. The above anomalies are because of failure on the part of the management to ensure proper record keeping, due process in the ministry.
“The Permanent Secretary should account for the 55 vehicles not presented during the audit. He should also be sanctioned in accordance with the provision of FR3129.”

What kind of person would marry her own father?
In 1992, Woody Allen got caught with a stack of naked Polaroid photos of Soon-Yi Previn, the young daughter of his common-law wife, Mia Farrow. Previn was essentially his own daughter, and as Farrow quickly learned, Previn and Allen were sleeping together.
Although a lot has been said about what Woody Allen did, not nearly as much has been reported about the woman he married. Who is this girl who slept with and married her own stepfather, and how did her life go so wrong?
Soon-Yi Previn’s life story is difficult to hear, but it’s worth taking the time to understand. Hers is a life full of pain, right from the moment she was born. It is a psychological profile of a victim of sexual abuse—an insight into the devastating effects of neglect and abuse.

CHILD CUSTODY PROTECTION ACT--Continued -- (Senate - July 25, 2006)
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President. I rise today in support of legislation protecting the most important relationship of all: that of parents and their children. The family is the fundamental, crucial and indispensable building block of our civilization, and parents are at its center. Yet, when it comes to one of the most important decisions in life, children are being kept from the guidance of their parents. I am talking, of course, about the decision whether or not to have an abortion.
The American people believe that parents should be involved in deciding whether their daughter should undergo an abortion. Statistics consistently show this, and the Supreme Court has upheld this. As the Court noted in the decision of H.L. v. Matheson: ``the medical, emotional, and psychological consequences of an abortion are serious and can be lasting; this is particularly so when the patient is immature.'' In the case of Parham V. J.R. the Court said ``[t]he law's concept of the family rests on a presumption that parents possess what a child lacks in maturity, experience, and capacity for judgment required for making life's difficult decisions.''
Convinced of the soundness of this reasoning, at least 48 States have enacted laws requiring consent of or notification to at least one parent, or authorization by a judge, before a minor can obtain an abortion. Unfortunately, this wise policy is being undermined.
Thousands of children every year are taken across State lines by people other than their parents to secure secret abortions. As we speak, abortion providers across the Nation, operating in States with no parental consent or notification laws, are taking out advertisements in phonebooks outside of the State where they operate in order to attract underage patients in neighboring States with different laws. They are doing this in my home State of Idaho. They are doing this in Pennsylvania, blatantly trumpeting the fact that their clinics, outside of Pennsylvania, do not require parental notification as Pennsylvania does. In essence, these abortion providers are encouraging people to circumvent one State's parental notification law by crossing the border into another for a secret abortion.
The tragedy is that thousands of non-related adults take this suggestion every year in successful attempts to circumvent the law. In one highly publicized case, a 12-year-old girl living in a State with a constitutionally upheld parental notification law became pregnant by an 18-year-old man. The man's mother took her for an abortion in a neighboring State with no parental notification requirement. The mother's actions were discovered, and she was convicted of interfering with the custody of a child. A prominent proabortion legal defense organization appealed the conviction on the grounds that she merely ``assisted a woman to exercise her constitutional rights'' and as such was herself protected from prosecution by the Constitution. This reasoning cannot stand.
To say that, because the Court in Roe v. Wade declared most abortions constitutionally protected during the first trimester, that therefore minors have an absolute right to abortion without so much as notifying their parents, and that third parties--whatever their motives--have the right to transport them across State lines for a secret abortion, is to stand constitutional protections on their head. It is to strip children of the natural protection of their parents. There is hardly another circumstance warranting the need for parental guidance and judgment more than when a young daughter becomes pregnant and is considering an abortion. For the sake of our children and our families, this must stop. As a Nation, we loosen our precious family ties at our peril.
I must also note that Idaho is unable to enforce parental notification and consent laws that have passed the State legislature and have been signed into law by the Governor. Nearly 20 other States are in the same situation. These laws are all enjoined due to lawsuits brought by organizations intent on imposing their flawed understanding of the United States Constitutional protections on the American people, and judges willing to support it. It is my hope that this litigation will be resolved and that the right of elected officials to make and enforce laws under their jurisdiction will be upheld.
I strongly support and am cosponsoring the Child Custody Protection Act. Children must receive parental consent for even minor surgical procedures. Children must receive parental consent to take an asprin from their school nurse. I want to make it a Federal offense to transport a minor across State lines with intent to avoid the application of a State law requiring parental involvement in a minor's abortion, or judicial waiver of such a requirement. The profound, lasting physical and psychological effects of abortion demand that we help states guarantee parental involvement in the abortion decision. That means, at a minimum, seeing to it that outside parties cannot walk around State parental notification and consent laws on a whim or as a means to hide illegal activity. We can no more afford to allow State laws to be ignored than we can afford to allow family ties to be further undermined. For the sake of our families, I urge my colleagues to defend both by supporting the Child Custody Protection Act.

“I think that they should either get with the program or they can go.”
With this statement, Sean Spicer dismissed the dozens of career diplomats who used the State Department’s dissent channel to critique President Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries. In doing so, the White House communications director and press secretary went against a longstanding tradition in American politics: the tradition of dissent.
For educators who promote civic learning in classrooms, this is problematic.
School gives students a place to develop their civic identities and participate in civic rituals like the Pledge of Allegiance. But civic learning also gives students tools to participate in society. And it includes helping students understand how, as members of society, they can work to improve it.
“Dissent” is a term fraught with sometimes contradictory connotations. For some it evokes nonconformity and contrarianism, while to others it is an essential part of civic life that gives citizens the power to help a democracy thrive. Sometimes scorned for fracturing consensus, dissent is also cherished for speaking truth to power. In all its meanings, dissent is a fundamental part of civic life — and one that students should be exposed to as they prepare to take part in that life.
Intentionally or not, Spicer’s comment has consequences. As an early precedent in the Trump Administration, it reframes dissent as insubordination, an obstacle to getting things done. That contradicts the history of political engagement in the United States.
Think of teachers exploring the history of abolitionists, civil rights leaders and antiwar protesters with their students. As they help students grapple with this history, how will they square it with the hostility to dissent that Spicer’s statement represents?
To illuminate the gulf between Spicer’s words and the tradition of dissent in this country, it’s worth revisiting what Sen. J. William Fulbright wrote in 1966, during the escalation of the Vietnam War.
“To criticize one’s country is to do it a service and pay it a compliment,” Fulbright wrote. “It is a service because it may spur the country to do better than it is doing; it is a compliment because it evidences a belief that the country can do better than it is doing… Criticism, in short, is more than a right; it is an act of patriotism, a higher form of patriotism.”
When Fulbright wrote these words, he was not a radical outsider but a sitting senator. He wrote them in the spirit of public service, from within the halls of government.
Fulbright’s words remind us that citizens may dissent not from despair, but from hope. For Fulbright, dissent is an act of bringing the government into alignment with the political principles that have served as the bedrock to the American experiment.
And, crucially, teachers may expose students to this perspective without favoring a particular political party or ideology. It applies on all sides of political divides.
Fulbright’s message is more than 50 years old, but it remains provocative for students today. His challenge to unchecked power and the hubris of unreflective governance is a reminder that both American history and current events are steeped in unfulfilled promises. Teachers who examine social problems and seek social justice can, as Fulbright suggests, frame the dissident as one who recognizes the gap between the ideal and the real.
Dissent emerges out of allegiance, not obedience. With his public statement, Spicer, as a representative of the Trump administration, sought to confine diplomats to the realm of obedience and allegiance in its most passive and blind form. Teachers who engage their students’ critical consciousness through debate, deliberation and rigorous study help them learn how to avoid such passivity.
Dissent can promote the free exchange of ideas in a society that encourages all citizens to take part – just as teachers can encourage students to be expressive, argumentative and open to multiple perspectives. Teachers who explore dissent may help students become citizens who can express doubt, scrutinize policies and grapple with the political visions offered by government officials. Such teachers can galvanize students to avoid being deferential to authority without undermining the edifice of government power.
Teachers help students build literacy skills by grappling with texts and ideas. It’s an an active process, one that underpins and is amplified by dissent. So teaching about dissent can only help students become more truly literate – more capable of critical thinking and complex analysis.
Fulbright did not frame dissent as a partisan act; he considered it something that’s useful to everyone, of all political beliefs. Asking students to consider the role of dissent in their civic consciousness is not an act of indoctrination into any political party or faction.
Education involves examining social issues and thinking about how citizens can solve problems. Dissent is one of many tools that civic-oriented teachers can introduce to students. In doing so, they are not fomenting upheaval. They are expanding students’ understanding of civic life and all the ways that citizens can take part in it.
In the early days of this new administration, some on all sides of the political spectrum may want to presume that their ideological lens is unimpeachable. When tensions are high, thinking in absolute terms and refusing to budge from intractable positions will only deepen the polarization of opposite camps.
But teaching students about dissent doesn’t have to crystallize the faultlines. Instead of a wedge, it can be a bridge that provokes dialogue and challenges everybody to reflect, reevaluate and consider perspectives that refuse to be marginalized.
Sean Spicer apparently sees dissent as a problem. Instead, let’s join Fulbright and see it as part of the solution.

The presence of iron in the atmosphere has significant implications for global nutrient delivery, human health, and several chemical cycles. Globally, the primary source of iron in the atmosphere is wind-blown dust from arid environments. However, in urban areas, iron is also produced via various combustion processes such as power generation and vehicle exhaust.
Salazar et al.  present field data from the Platte River Air Pollution and Photochemistry Experiment (PRAPPE). They compare atmospheric particulate matter samples collected during the summer and winter at an urban, agricultural, and a mixed site on the Eastern Colorado plains. As metallic iron has not been found in atmospheric dust, the pervading presence of metallic iron across all their sites (although concentrated in the rural site) raises intriguing new questions about the origin of iron in the atmosphere. Also, the previously unobserved presence of atmospheric iron found in conjunction with organic matter introduces the possibility that combustion-derived iron is more prevalent than scientists had initially considered.

Planning Panelists Hold School District Staff's Feet to the Fire
• MHS Plans Raise Security Concerns
BY BILL KOENEKER
The Malibu Planning Commission, at its meeting last week, considered an application from the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District to redevelop portions of the joint Malibu Middle and High School campus.
Commissioner Jeff Jennings recused himself from the proceedings, saying he lives across the street from the school and he thinks that "California law forbids me from voting," although he has no vested personal financial stake in the district project.
Makings its decision after the midnight hour, the planning panel directed staff to bring back an amended resolution approving the coastal permit, Conditional Use Permit and various other entitlements, including a demolition permit, to redevelop portions of the campus with a new classroom/library/administration building totaling 20,274 square feet of net new building area and approximately 12,509 square feet of interior renovation and modernization of existing classrooms.
An Environmental Impact Report, which was approved by the school district prepared for the proposal, acknowledges that the project would not be able to avoid adverse impacts related to increased sky-glow.
After hours of public comment and commission deliberations, the planning panel approved a reconfigured 119-space lighted parking lot with an onsite roundabout, a reconfigured 61-space lighted parking lot, but a majority of the commissioners insisted a new 150-space parking lot should remain unlit.
During public comment, Jennings testified as a citizen and, after citing his longstanding affiliation with the school district, said, "On this issue I part company with the district. I direct your attention to the landscaping plan, sycamore tress that will grow 100 feet high placed on the ridges. The trees don't need to be on a ridge, they could be in the gullies."
Many other public comments, like Jennings endorsed the staff recommendation about the reduced lighting.
Some parents called foul, saying the plans for the campus had been thought out for years by various committees and it was not fair to fiddle with the design so late in the process.
"The proposal before you did not come out of the sky," said Mike Sidley. "The project needs approval without the staff recommendation."
Malibu Park neighbor Judy Hutchinson said she welcomed the staff recommendation. "I've never seen large attendance at the games," she added.
Another neighbor Terry Lucoff said there was no planning on the part of the district for road conditions for ingress and egress to the proposed parking lot. "The parking lot is in the wrong place. It is ill conceived. It is not acceptable," he said.
Parent Colleen Baum said it was not just about the games, but about children who are on the campus from day to night. "There is also theater and other kinds of performance. The lights are a big safety issue," she said.
District officials reiterated that concern and told commissioners they were also bound by code and safety requirements. The big issue, commissioners were told, is the parking lot lighting and walkway lighting. That the standards are not established by the district but are adopted by other agencies—the district has safety and liability standards. A school campus requires a certain kind of lighting.
However, Stanley Lamport, an attorney representing the Malibu Township Council and the Malibu Community Preservation Alliance, two organizations suing over ball field lighting said the district has a long history of disregard for lighting. "The school district has not earned the trust of the community. There are significant impacts," he said.
Lamport told the panelists there are acceptable alternatives and there is additional evidence that the combined effect of more field lighting and parking lot lighting makes for a change of circumstance such that agencies cannot make the current findings.
After hours of questions and deliberations, the commission approved the staff recommendation of the unlit parking lot, some traffic changes and for two new unlit tennis courts, new outdoor common areas, new fencing, landscaping and grading, relocated equestrian trail, upgrades to the onsite wastewater treatment system and drainage and renovation of existing infrastructure.
The CUP is for operation of a public educational institution and the expansion of more than 500 square feet in that zone.
Variances were successfully sought for grading in excess of 1000 cubic yards, and constructing structures on 2.5 to one slopes and impermeable coverage over 25,000 square feet..
The school district, which is the lead agency, issued a Draft Environmental Impact Report last fall.
The DEIR describes the project as approximately 76,694 square feet of new construction, some of it replacement building since 15,041 square feet of old buildings are earmarked for demolition while other buildings will be upgraded or renovated, according to school district documents.
Building plans include one, new two-story building for classrooms, library and administrative office uses, outdoor space, and the renovation of the existing building E.
New staff and student parking for a proposed 150-space parking lot is located adjacent to the existing school's athletic field.
School district documents indicate the proposal also calls for separating middle school from the high school by devoting building E solely to the high school, while middle school classrooms would be provided in the replacement classroom/ library/administration building.
A new student drop-off and pick-up lane would be placed along Morning View Drive in front of the replacement building.

Oklahoma spiritual leaders fighting pay day loan bill, phone it an вЂevilвЂ™ practice
OKLAHOMA CITY – Some spiritual leaders in Oklahoma will work to beat a bill they do say provides loan that is payday more authority.
The government is set to enact stricter standards on these kind of companies.
Before that occurs, their lobbyists have already been state that is contacting in the united states, hoping to get legislation that will let them provide a wider variety of items.
Some say that is not news that is good Oklahomans.
вЂњWe are to carry news that is good poor people. Payday financing just isn’t very good news to poor people. This is the worst news feasible,вЂќ said Pastor Mitch Randall, with brand new Haven Church in Norman.
Pastor Randall is a component of a combined group of religious leaders that have turn out against SB 1314.
The balance will allow loan that is payday to loan as much as $3,000 at the same time, rather than $500.
вЂњThey are earning profits on the backs associated with poorest citizens of your state which is immoral. ItвЂ™s incorrect in addition they have to be away from company,вЂќ said Randall.
вЂњPredatory lending, it really is a debt trap. It really is, they search for those who find themselves many vulnerable,вЂќ said Jill Hatcher, whose spouse is a pastor in the beginning Baptist Church in Norman.
The Oklahoma Policy Institute in addition has turn out up against the bill, saying it might enable loan providers to charge as much as 20% month-to-month interest.
On a $3,000 loan, that could be $600 every thirty days in interest and costs.
вЂњThatвЂ™s crazy. I would personallynвЂ™t just take a loan out at 240% click here now APR, could you?вЂќ stated Hatcher.
Sen. David Holt authored the bill.
вЂњIвЂ™m perhaps not sure governmentвЂ™s the spot to safeguard individuals from by themselves. I believe that could be a lot more of a role for the churches,вЂќ said Sen. Holt.
Holt claims as he does not fundamentally think payday loan are a good choice, he thinks when you look at the free market and offering customers different choices; so long as there are adequate disclosures.
вЂњIf it is a truly bad economic item for individuals, I wish to think they wonвЂ™t pursue it. So we as federal government donвЂ™t have actually to inform them that. Which they will simply get elsewhere,вЂќ said Holt.
Opponents state they will certainly strive to beat the balance, perhaps changing it with the one that would drive these continuing organizations away from our state.
вЂњThis is an evil practice,вЂќ said Pastor Randall.
Jamie Fulmer, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs for Advance America, cash loan Center, Inc. delivered us this statement.
вЂњHardworking Oklahomans value the flexibleness, ease of use and dependability of regulated credit that is short-term, which enjoy high client satisfaction. Individuals are most readily useful offered when they will have use of a multitude of alternatives, as soon as their regional leaders foster a well-regulated, transparent marketplace. Senate Bill 1314 would do exactly that, offering borrowers affordable, available credit tailored for their requirements.вЂќ
The balance passed away from committee week that is last will likely go right to the full Senate in a month or more.
Change: Senator David Holt tweeted he can never be advancing this controversial bill.
He did therefore after using some backlash on social media marketing.
Any appeal for a less-regulated economy nevertheless appeals for me as a free of charge market champ, but i am going to never be advancing SB 1314 (flex loans).
Oklahoma is number 1 in Cash Advance Usage
Nationwide, 5.5 % of grownups used a payday loan in the final 5 years, in accordance with new research because of the Pew Charitable Trusts.
However the rate among Oklahomans is much more than twice that, 13 % вЂ” the greatest in the usa.
These short-term loans вЂ” that are guaranteed against a borrowerвЂ™s next paycheck вЂ” typically include excessive interest levels and costs. Proponents say theyвЂ™re employed by borrowers whom canвЂ™t get ordinary loans. Experts claim payday advances are predatory.
Through the report, Who Borrows, Where They Borrow, and just why:
PewвЂ™s analysis of information from Oklahoma discovers that more borrowers utilize at the very least 17 loans in a year than use only one.
Cash advance usage is greater in towns than it absolutely was in residential district areas, and it is greater into the Midwest and Southern Census areas, Pew scientists observed. A factorвЂќ that isвЂњmajor the variants: differences вЂњin just how states control payday advances.вЂќ
Pew Charitable Trusts
Oklahoma is among 28 states with permissive policies toward payday loan providers, in accordance with scientists with Pew Charitable Trusts. Just click here to learn their report.
About 75 percent of cash advance borrowers utilized storefront lenders, Pew scientists discovered. Oklahoma has about 400 of those storefront loan providers, based on an analysis by 24/7 Wall St.
Oklahoma is amongst the 28 states with вЂњpermissiveвЂќ policies in terms of credit that is small-dollar. Such states that are permissive single-repayment loans with Annual Percent prices of 391 % or more, Pew scientists found.
Among Oklahoma and its particular next-door neighbors, just Colorado and Arkansas have significantly more restrictive cash advance policies compared to the Sooner State, in accordance with PewвЂ™s position.
Colorado is recognized as certainly one of eight вЂњhybrid states,вЂќ which enable cash advance storefronts вЂ” where about 75 per cent borrowers get such loans вЂ” but have вЂњmore exacting demands, such as for example lower restrictions on charges or loan use, or much longer payment durations.вЂќ Arkansas is regarded as 15 вЂњrestrictive statesвЂќ that disallow all cash advance storefronts.
Therefore, whoвЂ™s taking out fully loans that are payday? Nearly all are white ladies from 25 to 44 yrs old, Pew reports:
Nonetheless, after managing for any other traits, you will find five groups which have greater likelihood of having utilized a loan that is payday those without a four-year college education; house tenants; African People in the us; those making below $40,000 annually; and the ones who will be divided or divorced.
And just why do borrowers require pay day loans?

It’s clear that you don’t do your teeth and gums any favors with sugary foods. But just what foods are actually good for your dental health?
Here’s a look at some of the foods you may want to add to your diet to boost dental health.
The make just about every health list. But that’s because, as the old Popeye cartoons so clearly illustrated, leafy greens including spinach and kale are good for you.
According to the Colgate article, “They’re high in calcium, which builds your teeth’s enamel. They also contain folic acid, a type of B vitamin that has numerous health benefits, including possibly treating gum disease in pregnant women.”
Apples are the exception to the rule on keeping clear of sweet foods. That’s because some of their benefits outweigh their downside.
“Fruits, such as apples, might be sweet, but they’re also high in fiber and water. The action of eating an apple produces saliva in your mouth, which rinses away bacteria and food particles. The fibrous texture of the fruit also stimulates the gums,” according to Colgate.
Almonds are another food that makes it to many good-for-you lists and this one’s no different.
“Almonds are great for your teeth because they are a good source of calcium and protein while being low in sugar. Enjoy a quarter cup of almonds with your lunch,” according to Colgate.
Water and Milk
According to WebMd, you want to be sure you’re getting the right kind of fluids.
“The best beverage choices include water (especially fluoridated water), milk, and unsweetened tea. Limit your consumption of sugar-containing drinks, including soft drinks, lemonade, and coffee or tea with added sugar,” the site notes.

BC moves to cut generic drug prices
By Allan Dowd
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - British Columbia and the pharmacy industry unveiled an agreement on Friday they said will cut generic drug prices and avoid the battle that erupted after Ontario slashed prices there.
Prices for generic drugs will be capped at 35 percent of that of the equivalent brand name drug, down from the current average of 65 percent. The lower prices will be phased in over three years.
The change is expected to lower health care costs in British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province, by C$380 million ($369 million) annually.
Prices for brand name drugs in Canada are federally regulated, but there have long been complaints that Canadians pay more for generic drugs than do residents of other countries.
"It is indisputable that generic drug prices in Canada need to be lower," British Columbia Health Services Minister Kevin Falcon said in a joint news conference with representatives of the drugstore industry.
Pharmacies will be partly compensated with an increase in the fee the province pays them to dispense drugs, and by allowing them to offer more clinical services to customers.
Falcon and industry representatives both said that reaching an agreement was not easy, but they wanted to avoid the kind of fight that would have erupted had the province unilaterally legislated the price cuts.
Ontario triggered a nasty fight with drugstore chains such Shoppers Drug Mart Corp this year when it slashed the price of generics to 25 percent of branded equivalents and eliminated the rebates stores receive from the drug makers. Continued...

PRS for Music Joins the British Music Experience
60,000 song writers, composers and publishers get behind the BME
PRS for Music has today announced it is a key sponsor of the British Music Experience (BME) which opens at The O2, the world’s most popular music venue, on 9th March.
PRS for Music will be the official and exclusive music-industry sponsor of the BME, actively engaged in promoting its work and critical role at the heart of the UK’s music industry.
The BME looks at popular music from 1945 through to the current day and is a combination of cutting edge audio-visual technology and the most coveted music memorabilia of all time. Over 100 artists feature in the exhibition from The Beatles, to Iron Maiden, from Cilla Black to Elastica, from David Bowie to Motorhead with in depth looks at musical genres from Skiffle to Reggae, from Rock n Roll to Blues, from Punk to Urban.
Predominantly an interactive experience, exhibition highlights include:
- ‘dance the decades’ - visitors can have a virtual lesson and learn how to jive, Macarena, or even do the locomotion
- ‘Anatomy of a pop star’ allows visitors, by touching various parts of a model pop star, discover all the different people who contribute to the success of a music star
- ‘The Great Divide’ highlights the contrast between music produced in the North and the South in the UK between 1979 and 1990
We’ve been at the heart of the UK music industry for several generations and without our work collecting royalties many of the musicians featured here would not have made it. The BME is a fantastic exhibition to be involved with and I’m delighted we’re on board.
It's fantastic that PRS for Music are supporting the British Music Experience. By coming on board they are recognising the importance of the exhibition within the industry and bringing their expertise to the BME’s education programme.
PRS for Music will be welcoming visitors to the BME with a ‘song writing connections’ display utilising rotating 42” plasma screens highlighting the wealth of UK writing talent. In the Anatomy of a Pop Star exhibit, the organisation will be connecting the concept of copyright and royalties to how songwriters, composers and publishers earn from their work. Crucially, PRS for Music will be embedded into the rolling-education programme which will see all school children in the UK being invited to attend classes and workshops to learn about the art of song writing, the concept of copyright and how royalties are paid.
