Just take a second or two to think about successful people with disabilities. How many names from the fields of politics, sports, music, business, science or from movies – dead or alive – come to mind? It’s an interesting question and I was curious to find out what would happen when the American public are asked whether they can name any successful people with disabilities, so I commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct a representative survey in February 2021. The survey’s respondents were asked to name up to three people. The survey found that 51 percent of Americans could not name...

The NFL will pay very close attention to whether unvaccinated players follow Covid protocols this season, and if they don’t, the players will end up paying the league.According to another in a series of recent and aggressive new restrictions targeting unvaccinated players, the NFL announced on Saturday that if a player violates one of the league-mandated Covid protocols that applies to unvaccinated players, they will receive a $14,650 fine.The new penalty comes on the heels of another restriction announced this week in which the league said that if a Covid outbreak among unvaccinated players caused a game to be canceled,...

In-person school really matters. Children need their teachers, and they need their friends and classmates. As pediatricians, this is one lesson that we’ve learned over and over through this complicated and difficult pandemic year. There is real value to learning with children and teachers together in the classroom. Kids need us to keep schools open and safe this fall, and they need us to do it right, which is going to mean masks.

In the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries voters turned away from socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) because he was perceived to be too radical to be their nominee. Their “safe” choice was a so-called moderate, former Vice President Joe Biden, who eventually won the nomination. Once he secured the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, he selected the most liberal member of the United States Senate, Kamala Harris, to be his vice presidential running mate. In the general election, a fictitious story was spun to the country about Joe Biden being a working-class candidate who supported traditional American values. Of course,...

The global semiconductor shortage we have been reporting on for the better part of the last year looks as though it could finally be turning a corner for the automotive industry. Smartphone production, however, may have to continue to suffer deficient supply until well into 2022, according to a new report by Reuters. Supply for the auto sector could improve in coming months as China has picked up some of the production slack that Taiwan hasn’t been able to meet, according to ING Greater China chief economist Iris Pang. While Taiwan has run into the headwind of continued Covid-prevention measures...

As competition between the US and China and Russia ramps up, Africa is once more becoming a geopolitical battlefield. US special-operations forces have long had a presence in Africa. Over the last 20 years, American commandos have focused on fighting terrorism, mainly in North and East Africa. Now, in addition to fighting violent extremist groups, they have to counter Chinese and Russian overtures in a region where great powers are increasingly competing for access, influence, and resources. The US has a vastly different approach to Africa than its competitors. Chinese aid, in the form of loans or infrastructure development, is...

The Theorist’s Role in Unravelling Cold Fusion Physics # Daniel S Szumski 1 1 Independent scholar, Davis, CA USA E-mail: Danszumski@gmail.com If we are to unravel the cold fusion process, we need to comprehend it at a more fundamental level than calorimetry. Consider the possibility that cold fusion might consist of the three sub-processes: Process Rank------------------ Process Description ------------------- Reference Tertiary process --------------Excess heat generation---------------- Fleischmann and Pons Secondary process -----------Nuclear transmutations ---------------Mizuno and Miley Primary process ---------------Energy accumulation & storage ----LANP model In this presentation, we develop a methodology for measuring the secondary process, and in particular observing the...

Former President Trump is suing Twitter, Facebook, and Google-owned YouTube in a series of class-action lawsuits that can decimate the colossal censorship regime of Big Tech. Trump is the right person to lead this charge in collaboration with America First Policy Institute to restore his constitutional right to free speech while preserving liberty for every American threatened by the relentless strongarm of social media’s cancel culture. But Trump faces potential challenges. First, he is betting that the case can proceed under the jurisdiction of Florida courts which are perceived to be right-leaning in the application of the law rather than...

Thanks for joining us as we study one of my favorite Bible verses written by St. Paul. It is a formidable passage that appears in 2 Corinthians 12:10: “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” However, likely only those who believe in the comforting and healing power of Jesus Christ will benefit from and be inspired by Paul’s poignant testimony. In his magnificent poetic style, Paul conveys why we must trust in Jesus when we are suffering. But first, I will explain why this weak/strong verse ranks high among my favorites and can be a powerful self-help mantra...

ATLANTA — An Atlanta restaurant is making the bold decision to serve only customers who are fully vaccinated. Argosy Restaurant and Bar, located in Little Five Points, is one of the first businesses in Georgia to mandate with signs that say “No Vax, No Service.” The company owner made the decision earlier this week after he and several of his employees, who were all fully vaccinated, contracted the virus as breakthrough cases. “I think it’s a bunch of crap,” said David Carpenter. “It’s everybody’s choice, that’s what I think.” “I personally don’t have a problem with it because I’m fully...

Hunter is married to South African filmmaker Melissa Cohen, 32. The pair wed in May 2019 and their son was born the following year in March 2020. It is Biden’s second wife after his marriage to Kathleen Buhle in 1993. He shares three children – Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy – with Kathleen. The couple separated in 2015 and divorced in 2017.
