    Patrick called his new business venture Holiday Magic and set up company headquarters at 616 Canal St. in San Rafael. Although the company sold cosmetics, its actual moneymaker was signing up distributors. Those distributors bought products from Holiday Magic and had to sell that product in order to make a profit — or even hope to break even. *SNIP* Riding high on his business success, Patrick turned next to politics. In 1965, Patrick announced he was challenging Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination for California governor.

    A Missouri university is hosting an online forum that will explore whether the term 'professionalism' is racist - and according to the event's synopsis, it is. The February 1 presentation at Washington University's St. Louis campus centers around a term defined by Merriam-Webster as 'the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person.' An explainer for the upcoming virtual event reads: 'The term “professionalism” has at times been used to silence and marginalize people of color, when attributes of appearance, language or interactions that have nothing to do with job knowledge or constructive collegial...

    The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | January 24, 2022 | By Satchel Price
    The federal government is making 400 million N95 masks available for free starting this week at thousands of locations. By early February, the aim is to have the program fully operational, giving Americans a chance to acquire the higher-quality masks at no cost. Here’s what Chicagoans need to know about the rollout of free N95 masks: Why do I need N95 masks? Respirators — including N95 masks, KN95s and KN94s — are designed to achieve a close facial fit and efficient filtration of airborne particles. When will the masks be available?

    White fragility. Equitable math. The invisible knapsack. These critical theory terms and practices are now common in North Carolina’s public K-12 schools. And Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson has collected many more examples with his Fairness and Accountability in the Classroom for Teachers and Students (F.A.C.T.S.) Task Force. But North Carolina’s public schools didn’t “go woke” spontaneously. Our K-12 schools and classrooms have been slowly transformed by teachers who learned and practiced critical theory in schools of education across the state, including those in the UNC system. The John Locke Foundation’s Terry Stoops documents one example of education schools’ critical pedagogy...

    The Washington Times ^ | Jan 24 | By Sean Salai
    A poll released Monday finds that more than half of U.S. voters want Dr. Anthony Fauci to keep leading the government’s COVID-19 response, despite President Biden’s continued low approval ratings. The survey by the Trafalgar Group found that 53.7% of respondents from all political affiliations said they do not believe Dr. Fauci should “resign his position and role,” while 46.3% want him to go. Pollster Robert Cahaly said the findings reflect the complexity of an electorate that still trusts Dr. Fauci more than Mr. Biden, whose average job approval rating in a FiveThirtyEight average of polls stood at 42.2% on...

    In a world where many of us are glued to our smartphones, Dulcie Cowling is something of an anomaly - she has ditched hers. The 36-year-old decided at the end of last year that getting rid of her handset would improve her mental health. So, over Christmas she told her family and friends that she was switching to an old Nokia phone that could only make and receive calls and text messages. She recalls that one of the pivotal moments that led to her decision was a day at the park with her two boys, aged six and three: "I...
