Choosing billionaires as his villains of choice is a terrible strategy for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, especially now that so many are giving away their fortunes to help those affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
While the Democratic presidential candidate rails against billionaires (it used to be millionaires until he became one) and thinks they shouldn’t even exist, stories about wealthy individuals who are contributing to the cause are popping up every day.
On Monday, the Journal Inquirer in Manchester, Connecticut, reported another such example as Ray and Barbara Dalio and Dalio Philanthropies pledged $4 million to help hospital workers pay for child care as well as feed needy families in their home state.
The largest portion of the donation will be spent on providing child care for Connecticut health care workers. The $3 million will cover day care expenses for approximately 1,000 children for eight weeks while their parents are at work caring for the sick.
Barbara Dalio said she was moved by the news of hospital workers whose children were suddenly home alone following school closures. “To us, they are heroes. The least we can do is make sure their children are taken care of while they’re on the front lines providing medical care,” she told the Journal Inquirer.
The remaining $1 million will be distributed to Connecticut organizations that will provide enough food for around 35,000 needy residents for 10 weeks.
While Sanders impugns wealthy business leaders as though they somehow cheated the system for a windfall, Ray Dalio is a self-made businessman.
His company, Bridgewater Associates, started in his two-bedroom apartment in New York City shortly after he earned his MBA from Harvard Business School. From those humble beginnings, Dalio built his fortune, which Forbes now pegs at $18 billion.
Even as the Dalios and their philanthropic organization give millions away, Bridgewater Associates is not immune to the fallout from coronavirus. The company, which is the largest hedge fund firm in the world, was hit hard as its major funds took a tumble along with the markets, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The Dalios aren’t the only wealthy philanthropists pitching in to help during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Jack Ma, co-founder of technology giant Alibaba Group, generously donated masks, protective suits and coronavirus testing kits. The first round of donations took off for the United States on March 15.

— Jack Ma (@JackMa) March 16, 2020
Business Insider calls Ma the “richest man in China” and reports his net worth at over $38 billion, which is more than enough to raise the ire of the democratic socialist Sanders and his “Bernie Bros.”
Billionaire Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg also pitched in as he announced Sunday that his company will donate 720,000 respirator masks it had purchased to protect employees during wildfires.
In Italy, where the virus has ravaged the country with nearly 64,000 citizens infected and over 6,000 dead, 20 of the country’s billionaires — including fashion designer Giorgio Armani — have pledged over $44 million to fight coronavirus in their country, according to Forbes.
Billionaires continue to give more than their “fair share” to the effort, compelled not by the government but by their own altruism, giving lie to Sanders’ line of attack.
Bernie’s tired communist theories were already showing signs of wear long before the coronavirus reached American shores, but now Sanders himself has become an anachronism.

Summary: Study suggests transgender college students may be particularly vulnerable to alcohol abuse, which can negatively affect their academic standing and their physical health.
A survey of more than 422,000 college freshmen found that students who identified as transgender were more likely than their cisgender peers to experience negative consequences from drinking, including memory blackouts, academic problems and conflicts such as arguments or physical fights.
The 989 students who identified as transgender were also more likely than their cisgender peers to cite stress reduction, relationship troubles or the sedating effects of alcohol as motivation for drinking, according to an analysis of the survey publishing March 21 in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
The results suggest transgender college students may be particularly vulnerable to alcohol abuse, which can negatively affect their academic standing and their physical health, said Scott Swartzwelder, Ph.D., senior author of the analysis and professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Duke University School of Medicine.
"For people who work with this age group, it's important to understand that these students are drinking at levels that are quite dangerous," Swartzwelder said. "A blackout is a serious neurological event that occurs when you drink enough to impair the parts of your brain that encode new memory. The last thing you want to do as a college student is disrupt your memory."
Students took the survey in 2015 through the alcohol abuse prevention program called AlcoholEdu for College, which includes a web-based questionnaire before beginning the course. The data did not represent a random sample, but included data from 370 U.S. colleges and universities that elected to offer the course to incoming students.
More than 64 percent of survey respondents reported having at least one alcoholic drink within the previous year. Students who reported drinking in the previous two weeks were asked to complete a more detailed description of those activities.
More than a third (36 percent) of transgender students said they had consumed so much they forgot where they were or what they did at least once in the previous two weeks as compared to 25 percent of cisgender students, the analysis showed.
Additional details from the analysis:
Among transgender students, those transitioning from a male to female identity reported the highest incidence of negative consequences and high-risk behaviors from using alcohol.
Forty-six percent of male-to-female transgender students reported at least one memory blackout in the two weeks before taking the survey, as compared to 36 percent of transgender students overall. This subgroup also reported the highest incidences of missing classes, becoming argumentative, drinking and driving or riding with someone who had been drinking, and getting into trouble with authorities and other issues, according to the analysis.
"The results tell us we have a lot more to learn about transgender people and about the specific challenges they face," Swartzwelder said. "The outcomes of the study also tell us that college students who are transgender represent a vulnerable population with respect to alcohol abuse and its negative consequences. That suggests college administrators and clinicians who interact with these students should be prepared to provide them with better and more effective coping strategies."
The researchers plan to continue investigating the motivations and consequences of above-average alcohol use of transgender students as compared to their cisgender peers.
"Why do these students drink more, and what's making them more vulnerable to these negative consequences of drinking?" Swartzwelder said. "These are very important social questions we hope to answer."
In addition to Swartzwelder, study authors included lead author Larry A. Tupler, and contributors Daniel Zapp, William DeJong, Maryam Ali, Sarah O' Rourke, and John Looney. The research was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (2U01AA019925) and a Senior Research Career Scientist award to Swartzwelder from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where he holds a joint appointment. All authors are affiliated with the Duke Consortium for the Study of the American College Student.

bipartisan Senate deal to briefly extend a package of expiring
provisions fell apart Thursday night, endangering unemployment aid set
to expire April 5.
Senate leaders from both parties had neared a deal to allow swift passage of a package providing benefits for another week that would be fully paid for, according to Senate sources from both parties. The compromise was needed because Sen. Tom CoburnTom CoburnFreedom Caucus saved Paul Ryan's job: GOP has promises to keep Don't be fooled: Carper and Norton don't fight for DC Coburn: Trump's tweets aren't presidential MORE (R-Okla.) blocked Senate Democrats from quickly passing a month-long extension. Coburn objected because its cost, $9.2 billion, wasn't offset and would increase the $12.7 trillion national debt.
With Congress set to go on a two-week Easter break starting this weekend, unemployed Americans may go without benefits for at least a week.
Larson pinned the blame on Senate Republicans for slowing down Democrats' preferred package.
"Apparently, they need another Bunning moment to drive the point home that this is about real people," Larson told The Hill, referring to Sen. Jim Bunning's (R-Ky.) decision to block a previous extension this month.
Senate Republicans blamed Democrats in the House for turning down their offers.
“Senate Republicans and Democrats came to an agreement on a short-term, fully paid-for extension of unemployment benefits to prevent potential expiration at the end of the month," said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnellMitch McConnellLawmakers push one-week stopgap funding bill Overnight Finance: Inside Trump's tax plan | White House mulls order pulling out of NAFTA | New fight over Dodd-Frank begins Dem rep: Trump's tax plan as believable as 'magic, unicorns or Batman' MORE (R-Ky.). "Unfortunately, the bipartisan agreement that was reached in the Senate was rejected by House Democrats.”

a cloture motion Thursday to end debate, leaving open the chance the
Senate could stay in Washington this weekend and pass the one-month
extension early next week.
In addition to extending unemployment insurance, the legislation would prolong a freeze in scheduled cuts to doctors' Medicare payments, extend COBRA healthcare subsidies for the unemployed and extend a satellite television licensing agreement that could leave rural residents without network TV if it expired.
The impasse over the package could force Reid to miss a politically important event in Nevada scheduled for Saturday with Wayne LaPierre Jr., CEO of the National Rifle Association.
The two are scheduled to mark the opening of the new Clark County Shooting Park, which Reid helped build just north of Las Vegas.

James Clyde and the Tomb of Salvation is book two in its series. The story continues with James Clyde and his two friends Ben and Mary. This time, they are searching for a map that leads them to a Tomb. It is an ancient shrine that posses the three diamonds of the Orchestra. Promising a life of immortality makes it a hot commodity. The adventure begins as they journey through danger and many twists and turns.
If you have read book one, then you straightway fall into the second one; however, if you haven’t, then you might find it hard to follow through. The story is geared towards the younger age, so it was nice to see that the literature reflected its age group. There are two narratives, and both do a good job describing the story. The content is action-adventure and provokes the thought of how far one can go for a friend.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read books in series and stories with mysteries.

The Lessons of a Journey
The epic poem The Odyssey written by Homer and translated by Robert Fitzgerald is the story of a man as he embarks on an unexpectedly long and brutal journey home from the Trojan war with his crew of men. Along the way, the protagonist, Odysseus is confronted by many conflicts and obstacles that he must use his strength, skills, or quick thinking in order to overcome, learning important life lessons along the way. Throughout Odysseus’ travels in the epic poem The Odyssey, the reader can perceive the importance of loyalty and perseverance not only for the success of Odysseus in finding and reclaiming his home, but also to have success in society today.
The theme and life lesson of loyalty is demonstrated throughout the epic poem The Odyssey by Homer, as Odysseus must face many difficult challenges and temptations to abandon his family, his wife, his home, and his beliefs. By staying loyal, Odysseus is able to have a driving force behind his will to return to his home and family and ultimately succeed. For example, when Odysseus is trapped on the island of Ogygia, held hostage by the goddess Calypso, he is incredibly depressed, longing for his home and his family no matter what Calypso did for him: “By nights he would lie beside her, of necessity, in the hollow caverns, against his will, by one who was willing, but all the days he would sit upon the rocks, at the seaside, breaking his heart in tears and lamentation and sorrow as weeping tears he looked out over the barren water” (Homer 5.152-158). Odysseus is in despair of his situation, he longs for his home and his family and he is being held against his will. He is being kept on a beautiful island with endless food from Calypso and a beautiful woman in in heavy pursuit of him; many people would call this a paradise, yet Odysseus is being held against his will as he is determined to remain loyal to his family as well as himself and his morals. Loyalty is a life skill that is still applicable to society today. It is the basis of any relationship whether it be a friendship, romantic, or a business relationship. In order to succeed in today’s society, loyalty is absolutely paramount because of the immense number of relationships that you must make in order to succeed, no matter what your profession or lifestyle may be. The life lesson of loyalty is continually demonstrated to the reader throughout the epic poem and it is still very important and applicable to life today.
In The Odyssey by Homer, the theme of perseverance is indisputable as Odysseus embarks on a brutal ten year journey to find his home and his family, having to encounter countless challenges along the way. Though giving up may have been the logical choice on many occasions during his journey, Odysseus is able to use his perseverance and drive to continue onward throughout the long years. His perseverance and determination also causes others to look up to him and to be inspired by his determination and will to succeed: “You are a hard man, Odysseus. Your force is greater, your limbs never wear out. You must be made all of iron, when you will not let your companions, worn with hard work and wanting sleep, set foot on this land, where if we did, on the seagirt island we could once more make ready a greedy dinner; but you force us to blunder along just as we are through the running night, driven from the island over the misty face of the water” (Homer 12.279-285). Odysseus is seen as a leader not because of his rank or his power, but because of the way that he carries himself and the hardworking, never quit personality that he has adopted. This attitude that he carries himself with gives his fellow crew the notion that he is invincible and an obvious natural leader. The skill and trait of perseverance is equally if not more important as it was in the age of Odysseus. In our society today one must work hard in order to achieve anything of worth, especially when it comes to academics and one’s career. Perseverance is a lesson that clearly stands out all the way through this epic poem, teaching the reader the fabled lesson that in order to succeed one must work hard and be dedicated.
The themes of loyalty and perseverance are prominent throughout the epic poem The Odyssey written by Homer and translated by Robert Fitzgerald as Odysseus embarks on a long and difficult journey home from fighting in the Trojan war. Odysseus continuously expresses these traits as he overcomes the countless obstacles leading up to his return home. Without these skills, Odysseus would’ve been forever lost at sea or trapped on the island of Calypso having abandoned his family and his beliefs. Instead, his actions and characteristics teach the reader valuable lessons that are still relevant today, over 1200 years after this poem was written.

The Mail this morning claimed Mats Hummels has decided he wants to quit Borussia Dortmund to join United.
The fallen German giants are open to granting Hummels his wish but are demanding £36m for the World Cup winner.
United have made repeated moves for the centre-back which, to now, have been rebuffed.
But now it appears Dortmund are willing to do a deal as they are on course to miss out on Champions League qualification.
And, according to reports in Spain, United are looking at two more centre-backs.
It's claimed they have set aside £70m to sign Valencia's Nicolas Otamendi and Real Madrid's Raphael Varane.
Argentina centre-back Otamendi, 27, has a £40m release clause in his contract.
United have reportedly sent scouts to watch him in action after making tentative enquiries in January.
Varane, 21, is considered one of the best young prospects in the world.
However, he is down the pecking order at the Bernabeu with Pepe and Sergio Ramos ahead of him.
The France international is valued at around £30m.
United boss Louis van Gaal has been promised at least £150m to spend in the summer.

In this blog, I’ll be listing down all the top and best books for the 3rd-year of MBBS. These books are also recommended by National Medical Commission (NMC) and will be of great use to 3rd-year MBBS medical students, both to learn and grasp the subject as well as to score well in exams.
First off, congratulations on making it to your third year!
The 3rd year of MBBS (final prof part 1) is a little different from the other years. There are 4 subjects in MBBS third year. Aside from Community Medicine or Preventive and Social Medicine (PSM) and Forensic Medicine, you now have two clinical subjects in the form of Otolaryngology (ENT) and Ophthalmology.
The time available to cover these subjects is more than enough, which is one year. You must have heard your seniors talking about how chill 3rd year is, and I completely agree. However, freedom always comes with responsibilities. Basically, you can chill up to a point but if you do that the whole year, you may have a hard time passing.
You need to make smart and correct choices when selecting books. Choose the books that are easier to follow based on your reading style, understanding pattern, and time constraints.
Here is the list of books I used during my third year as an MBBS medical student for Community Medicine or Preventive and Social Medicine (PSM), Forensic Medicine, Otolaryngology (ENT) and Ophthalmology.
List of Best Books For MBBS 3rd Year
1. Dhingra’s Diseases of Ear, Nose & Throat
The most popular and recommended textbook in ENT remains Dhingra, and I agree with that. Topic-wise, it is quite concise and well-organised. It presents the topic clearly enough to be regarded as a standard textbook. Nearly all of the topics covered in university exams are included.
For practicals, most students don’t get a separate book for it, but I would recommend Practical ENT by Vikas Sinha. This is a clinically oriented book that is particularly useful for revision before practical exams.
It begins with an introduction to the importance of thorough history taking and the following chapters explain the necessary examination techniques, operative procedures, applied anatomy, and more. The final sections of this practical guide provide FAQs for quick revision and case presentations to assist learning.
2. AK Khurana’s Comprehensive Ophthalmology
The most widely followed textbook for Ophthalmology is Comprehensive Ophthalmology by AK Khurana.
As a first-time reader of Ophthalmology, you will have difficulty understanding the subject properly. Once you attend classes, watch videos and gain an understanding of the basics, reading Ophthalmology will no longer be a challenge.
When it comes to textbooks for Ophthalmology, we have two options. If you are familiar with the writing style of foreign authors’ books, you can read Parson’s. While it isn’t as well organized as Khurana, it does explain the concepts well. In most foreign author books, you’ll have trouble figuring out how to answer questions from them in the profs.
As an alternative, I recommend AK Khurana, which is quite compact with most topics organized as points. In the end, it is your best option when it comes to remembering relevant points for exams.
Khurana is very easy to understand and you can write your answers very easily with it, so most people prefer it over Parsons. Parsons, on the other hand, can be somewhat challenging to comprehend.
For practicals, most students don’t get a separate book for it, but I would recommend Clinical Methods in Ophthalmology by Dadapeer K.
This is a clinically oriented book that is particularly useful for revision before practical exams. It contains a clinically structured questionnaire for each case discussion as well as a detailed explanation of history taking. Important points have been highlighted in coloured boxes to make learning easier.
3. Park’s Textbook Of Preventive And Social Medicine
The subject of community medicine or preventive and social medicine (PSM) is one of the most dreaded of the entire MBBS course because of its bulkiness and rote learning. In order to remember it well, one needs to read it multiple times.
The most popular and conventional textbook in most of the medical colleges in India is Park‘s Textbook of PSM. Although I wouldn’t call it good or bad, it is what it is.
Most medical colleges typically teach according to Park’s and expect students to write according to it. Although the subject itself is monotonous, the manner in which Park is written is also dull. Since not much effort is put into explaining stuff, those who aren’t used to books like these might find it hard to follow.
4. AH Suryakantha’s Community Medicine with Recent Advances
For those who find Park’s textbook difficult to read, you may want to consider Community Medicine with Recent Advances by AH Suryakantha.
The information in this textbook is arranged in points and tables, which makes it the most user-friendly book on the subject. Additionally, it contains numerous illustrations and diagrams that are clinically valuable.
5. KS Narayan Reddy’s Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology
Unfortunately, this subject does not receive the attention it deserves, and a lot of that is caused by the way textbooks are written. Most people lose interest after the introductory chapters.
Here’s something you should know, Forensic Medicine & Toxicology (FMT) is the defence you’ll need for yourself in your career. You save patients and FMT saves you!
When the University exams are approaching, Forensic Medicine is often the most overlooked and neglected subject. Therefore, you should read it throughout the year.
The most widely followed textbook for Forensic Medicine is Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology by KS Narayan Reddy.
Since this textbook is indeed extensive in many places, you should read what’s required based on previous year’s questions from your University exams, as you will have little time left after reading the other three subjects.
For those who find this book challenging, you may want to consider the synopsis version, as it is comparatively much smaller and more concise.
What’s The Cost of MBBS 3rd Year Books?
The cost of 3rd year MBBS books can vary greatly based on the kind and number of books (whether they are standard or non-standard) one decides to purchase. On average, it might range from Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 8,000. However, if one wishes to buy multiple books for a single subject, the expenses can climb higher.
To get a precise figure, consider adding the desired books to your Amazon shopping cart, which will give you an accurate total.
I hope you found this helpful! Comment below if you did.
Goodluck Medicoholics! Until next time.

According to reports, Leicester City has turned down a deal from Chelsea for £60 million for Wesley Fofana. The Foxes allegedly want £80 million for the services of the French defender
Nathan Gissing reports that a proposal from Chelsea for sixty million pounds has been turned down by Leicester City. The Blues are hoping to persuade the Foxes to settle for £70 million for the French defender, but the Foxes are asking for £80 million in exchange for their player.
The previous week, Chelsea decided to focus their attention on Wesley Fofana since all of their other targets were either unattainable or difficult to get during this window. The Blues have started their pursuit of the defender that plays for Leicester City because they have an urgent need to get a dependable defender before the start of the season.
The departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen created a hole in the team, which was partially filled by the acquisition of Kalidou Koulibaly. Nathan Ake was Chelsea’s top objective to strengthen the centre defensive line. however, the Dutchman ultimately decided to remain with Manchester City, so Chelsea abandoned their pursuit of Ake.
Other targets were thought about, but according to reports, Chelsea is moving closer to completing the transfer of Marc Cucurella from Brighton & Hove Albion. Even though Brighton and Hove Albion have denied reports that they have completed a deal with Chelsea, the Spaniard is still anticipated to show up at the club very soon. In spite of this, the west London club continues to show interest in Fofana.
Chelsea and Fofana have already reached an agreement over personal matters, but the difficult part will be convincing Leicester regarding the total cost. The Blues are said to have submitted a sizeable offer worth £60 million, but the Foxes have allegedly turned it down and are maintaining their demand for at least £80 million to sell the French defender.
Chelsea is not prepared to pay that much, but if a better offer is made to them, they would consider increasing the price to £70 million. It is uncertain whether or not they will make an early attempt to put Leicester’s commitment to the test.
Fofana had a serious injury during a pre-season friendly during the offseason of the previous year, which limited his playing time for Leicester. After battling back from injury, he was able to contribute to the Foxes’ run in the UEFA Europa Conference League later in the 2021/22 season. However, since that injury, several people have expressed concerns over his long-term fitness.
The young player, who is just 21 years old, is anticipated to have a prosperous career, and Leicester City will be expecting to GET a sizeable profit from the sale of his contract. They will want to hold out for a substantial £80 million price from Chelsea, particularly given that they have always been strict on their player values.
If Chelsea and Leicester are unable to reach an agreement on a price for Fofana, Leicester may shift their attention to other players. Josko Gvardiol, who plays for RB Leipzig, is one of the players that Chelsea is taking into consideration, but additional names might be added to their list if it becomes necessary.
Chelsea have bid £60m for Wesley Fofana but was rejected by Leicester City. Told the bid went in today. Leicester want £80m. Chelsea ideally hope for £70m. 🚨🔵 #CFC

A mature compost is usually stable, but a stable compost may not be mature. Yet, both products have their uses. Though the terms “maturity” and “stability” are often used interchangeably to describe compost, they should not be.
Look at a red and green tomato. Both are stable and edible. But the green tomato won’t be mature until it turns red. This work-in-progress tomato is a bit on the tart side with firmer flesh that holds up when fried. The mature red one is sweeter, softer, and makes a great sauce.
As distinct products, mature and immature composts have their specific characteristics and uses, too. But like red and green tomatoes, they’re definitely not the same.
MATURITY – All organics will eventually decay until nothing remains but atoms. The trick is to reach a degradation phase where the easy stuff is gone, leaving only dark, slow-to-degrade, earthy-smelling material behind. That’s a mature compost.
Between the raw waste and finished compost, however, are a series of degradation steps that aren’t that beneficial to plants. In an immature state, compost can release compounds harmful to plants, fight with plants for oxygen, and pull nitrogen out of the soil.
Compost maturity is best determined by testing, which is a good reason to insist on seeing a recent lab report for the compost under consideration. Maturity indicators on lab reports include:
Maturity assumptions based on curing time are also recognized within the industry, but may not be as reliable as testing.
STABILITY – If a compost passes the maturity test, it is a stable, market-ready product. In a mature compost, microbiological activity slows because all the “easy” food has been consumed.
But there are conditions within the composting mass that can cause product to enter a stable state without reaching maturity.
Compost that has been dried to remove moisture, for example, makes it lighter for shipping, but can exhibit reduced biological activity, as well. The same thing happens if the pile is deprived of oxygen.
Unfortunately, once moisture or air has been reintroduced, microbial colonies can reestablish and return to active feeding. Pathogens can rebloom and odors resurface as the composting process resumes.
Germination tests remain one of the best indicators of mature stability. If the compost exhibits no indications of phytotoxicity in conjunction with good pH ranges and slowed microbial activity, then the product has probably passed into the mature range.
If trying to evaluate stability while standing next to a pile in a landscape supply yard, look for:
In the absence of testing information, the easiest way to gauge a product’s maturity is to smell it. Compost that smells like soil has likely reached a stable, mature state and is ready for use anywhere and by anyone.
Product that still retains some pungency isn’t stable or mature. It’s not quite ready for unrestricted use. But, provided it has met minimum quality standards for pathogen and vector reductions (as specified by regulations), the compost can be applied in rural areas away from sensitive noses where its higher NPK value is much appreciated by farmers.
Time and nature will finish the job of product maturation and stabilization.
