U.N. chief: World faces 'generational catastrophe' from school closings
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned Tuesday that the world faces a "generational catastrophe" because so many schools have been closed because of the coronavirus pandemic. "The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the largest disruption of education ever," the U.N. chief said. The pandemic has killed nearly 700,000 people across the globe.

AP PHOTOS: Terror, death, devastation in Lebanon explosion
As they watched a huge mushroom cloud rise over the seaport capital, many who felt the massive explosion in Beirut on Tuesday thought it was a nuclear detonation. Others described the popping and bursting of fireworks and a raging fire that spread to another building, triggering the blast felt kilometers (miles) away. The explosion collapsed balconies, shattered windows and ripped bricks from buildings, killing at least 70 people and injuring more than 3,000.

Trump encourages mail voting in key battleground Florida
In an abrupt reversal, President Donald Trump now is encouraging voters in the critical swing state of Florida to vote by mail after months of criticizing the practice, and only days after threatening to sue Nevada over a new vote-by-mail law. Democrats currently have about 1.9 million Floridians signed up to vote by mail this November, almost 600,000 more than the Republicans' 1.3 million, according to the Florida Secretary of State.

'They're dying … it is what it is': key takeaways from Trump's shocking interview
President floundered in conversation with Axios, claiming Covid-19 was 'under control' and attacking mail-in votingDonald Trump stumbled through his second damaging interview in as many weeks, floundering in a conversation with the news website Axios over key issues he is tasked with responding to as president.It's been just over two weeks since the president made a series of shocking statements in a one-on-one interview with Fox News, but he packed another host of extraordinary claims into a 37-minute interview released on Monday night by Axios.Here are the eight most glaring things Trump said to reporter Jonathan Swan. 'It is what it is'In a lengthy discussion about the US's poor response to coronavirus, Trump described the pandemic as "under control".Swan responded: "How? A thousand Americans are dying a day.""They are dying. That's true. And you – it is what it is," Trump said. "But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can. It's under control as much as you can control it." 'You can't do that'The president then appeared unable to distinguish between different measurements of coronavirus deaths.Trump brandished several pieces of paper with graphs and charts."United States is lowest in numerous categories. We're lower than the world. Lower than Europe.""In what?" Swan asked. As it becomes apparent that Trump is talking about the number of deaths as a proportion of confirmed Covid-19 cases, Swan said: "Oh, you're doing death as a proportion of cases. I'm talking about death as a proportion of population. That's where the US is really bad. Much worse than Germany, South Korea."Trump responded: "You can't do that." 'He didn't come to my inauguration'Trump downplayed the work of the congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis, whose funeral was held last week in Atlanta, Georgia. Instead of Lewis's legacy, Trump focused on Lewis in relation to himself."I never met John Lewis, actually," Trump said. "He didn't come to my inauguration. He didn't come to my State of the Union speeches, and that's OK. That's his right."Lewis's fight for racial equality includes having his skull broken by state troopers during the 1965 Bloody Sunday march in Alabama. As a congressman he worked across the aisle. 'I did more for the black community than anybody'Swan pressed for an analysis of systemic racism. Trump said: "I have seen where there is a difference and I don't want there to be a difference."When asked why black men are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police, the president spoke about how many white people are killed by the police.Then said: "I did more for the black community than anybody with a possible exception of Abraham Lincoln, whether you like it or not."When asked whether he did more than Lyndon B Johnson, who signed into law the Civil Rights Act in 1964 (and the Voting Rights Act in 1965), Trump didn't really answer the question. 'I do wish her well'Trump stood by a 21 July comment where he said "I wish her well" of Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein who faces federal charges for allegedly enabling the disgraced financier's sex trafficking of minor girls.Asked for his thoughts on Maxwell, Trump said, "Yeah, I wish her well. I'd wish you well. I wish a lot of people well." Promotes Epstein conspiracy theoryHe also promoted the conspiracy theory that Epstein was murdered when he died in a New York jail last August. This has been disputed by the attorney general, William Barr."Her boyfriend died in jail and people are still trying to figure out how did it happen, was it suicide, was he killed?" Trump said. "I do wish her well. I'm not looking for anything bad for her." 'Lots of things can happen'Trump again attacked mail-in voting, which is expected to occur at higher rates in the November election because of the pandemic."It could be decided many months later," Trump said. "Do you know why? Because lots of things will happen during that period of time. Especially when you have tight margins, lots of things can happen. There's never been anything like this … Now, of course, right now we have to live with it, but we're challenging it." 'I have heard that, but it has never reached my desk'Trump said reports that Russia had been offering bounties to the Taliban for attacks on US forces in Afghanistan were "fake news". When Swan asked whether Trump had ever discussed the bounties with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, Trump said he had not.When Swan asked Trump about Russia supplying weapons to the Taliban, the president asserted: "I have heard that, but it has never reached my desk."

Trump's demand for US cut of a TikTok deal is unprecedented
President Donald Trump's demand that the U.S. government get a cut from a potential Microsoft purchase of TikTok is the latest unprecedented scenario in an unprecedented situation. Microsoft is in talks to buy parts of TikTok, a forced sale after Trump threatened to ban the Chinese-owned video app, which claims 100 million U.S. users and hundreds of millions globally. The Trump administration says TikTok is a national-security concern.

Official: US will extend support for Venezuela's Guaidó
The State Department's top official on Venezuela said Tuesday that the Trump administration will continue recognizing lawmaker Juan Guaidó as the South American nation's interim president even if President Nicolás Maduro's government ousts the opposition from control of congress — its last major stronghold. "He will not change the legal status for many countries around the world — and especially for us," Trump's special representative to Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, told the U.S. Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations in a hearing Tuesday. As the body's leader, Guaidó last year claimed the nation's presidency, arguing that Maduro's reelection had been fraudulent, in part because top opposition figures had been banned.

COVID-19 measures could disrupt rare polio-like disease
Health experts once thought 2020 might be the worst year yet for a rare paralyzing disease that has been hitting U.S. children for the past decade. Dr. David Kimberlin, a researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, called it "the million-dollar question." "We just simply don't know right now," said Kimberlin, who is co-leader of a national study to gather specimens from children who develop the paralyzing condition.

'Too many are selfish': US nears 5 million virus cases
Fourth of July gatherings, graduation parties, no-mask weddings, crowded bars — there are reasons the U.S. has racked up more than 155,000 coronavirus deaths, by far the most of any country, and is fast approaching an off-the-charts 5 million confirmed infections, easily the highest in the world. Many Americans have resisted wearing masks and social distancing, calling such precautions an overreaction or an infringement on their liberty. Public health experts say the problem has been compounded by confusing and inconsistent guidance from politicians and a patchwork quilt of approaches to containing the scourge by county, state and federal governments.

Experts: Obstacles to charging police in Breonna Taylor case
Despite mounting public pressure to file criminal charges nearly five months after Breonna Taylor's death, prosecutors may face significant obstacles to bringing homicide-related charges against police officers who were shot at when sent to her house with a warrant, legal experts said. Taylor, a 26-year-old Louisville emergency medical tech studying to become a nurse, was shot multiple times March 13 after being roused from sleep by police at her door. Attorney General Daniel Cameron, the first African American elected to the job in Kentucky, has declined to put a timetable on his decision since taking over the case in May.

Trump signs B-a-year plan to boost conservation, parks
President Donald Trump signed legislation Tuesday that will devote nearly billion a year to conservation projects, outdoor recreation and maintenance of national parks and other public lands following its overwhelming approval by both parties in Congress. "There hasn't been anything like this since Teddy Roosevelt, I suspect," Trump said, seemingly comparing himself to the 26th president, an avowed environmentalist who created many national parks, forests and monuments that millions of Americans flock to each year.

Bodies Strewn on the Ground After Apocalyptic Blast in Beirut
A huge explosion rocked Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday destroying entire blocks of high-rise buildings and leaving at least 73 people confirmed dead, more than 3,700 wounded, and scores more feared buried under rubble and ash. The country's interior minister said early indications were that highly explosive materials, seized and stored at Beirut's port, had detonated. Footage of the blast showed a large plume of dark red flames and smoke before a massive explosion threw up a mushroom cloud. Powerful shock waves shattered glass, collapsed ceilings and pulled down balconies—even residents on the island nation of Cyprus, 110 miles away, heard the blast.A witness on the ground who works for the United Nations, but does not speak on their behalf, was near the port when the explosion happened. She told The Daily Beast that bodies were scattered from the blast. "There was dark smoke from a fire and then a massive blast and everyone fell to the ground," she said. "A lot of people didn't get up."Entire buildings collapsed, streets glistened under blankets of shattered glass, and injured residents wandered the city covered in blood. Lebanese media carried images of people trapped under rubble. Residents rushed the injured to hospital any way they could, carrying them on their shoulders, on the trunks of cars and on ash-covered pieces of debris."What we are witnessing is a huge catastrophe," George Kettani, head of Lebanon's Red Cross, told local TV network Mayadeen. "There are victims and casualties everywhere."Abbas Ibrahim, director of General Security, told Lebanese media at a press conference that Israel was not to blame for the explosion. He pointed the finger at a depot at the port where highly explosive materials were stored after being confiscated.Local media reports also indicated that the blast may have ripped through a fireworks warehouse. It was not yet clear what ignited a fire that could be seen shortly before the main explosion.CNN's Ben Wedeman, who is based in Beirut, was in the bureau about a kilometer away before the blast. He reported on CNN that people were tweeting photos of a fire in the port about 15 minutes before a massive blast shook the building, destroying the bureau. He described a large red cloud hanging low over the city. "The city is in a state of panic," he said on CNN. "The city is in a state of shock."France 24 correspondent Leila Molana-Allen wrote on Twitter that her apartment was blown apart. "All the buildings in my block are destroyed. Huge explosion in Beirut. Everyone covered in glass and blood," she wrote.Hours after the blast at 6 p.m. local time, fires were still burning in the port district. Hospitals, already buckling under the coronavirus pandemic, were overwhelmed with patients.The blast came as the city braces for the verdict in a long-awaited trial over the assassination of former Sunni prime minister Rafik al-Hariri who was killed in a truck bomb 15 years ago. The defendants, from the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, are being tried in absentia. That verdict is expected Friday. Beirut has been under siege by angry protesters demonstrating against economic strife and alleged corruption since the October Revolution kicked off in the fall of 2019. Daily demonstrations and widespread resignations have crippled the government. Before that, the city buckled under the a civil war that lasted from 1975 to 1990. Tuesday's blast was by far the biggest explosion to hit the city since the 2006 war with Israel. Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

Donald Trump flounders in interview over US Covid-19 death toll
President again says he is doing 'incredible job' fighting pandemic and casts doubt on Jeffrey Epstein's cause of death * Coronavirus – latest updates * See all our coronavirus coverageDonald Trump visibly floundered in an interview when pressed on a range of issues, including the number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the US, his claims that mail-in voting is fraudulent, and his inaction over the "Russian bounty" scandal.The US president also repeatedly cast doubt on the cause of death of Jeffrey Epstein, and said of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite who has pleaded not guilty to participating in the sex-trafficking of girls by Epstein, that he wished her well.In the interview, broadcast on HBO on Monday and conducted by Axios's national political correspondent, Jonathan Swan, Trump again asserted that his administration was doing an "incredible job" responding to the coronavirus.Claiming that the pandemic was unique, Trump said: "This has never happened before. Nineteen seventeen, but it was totally different, it was a flu in that case. If you watch the fake news on television, they don't even talk about it, but there are 188 other countries right now that are suffering. Some, proportionately, far greater than we are."Trump has repeatedly referred to the 1917 flu pandemic, whereas the outbreak happened in 1918 and into 1919.And when asked about the death toll from coronavirus so far in the US, of almost 155,000 killed, Trump appeared irritated and said: "It is what it is."His opponent in the upcoming presidential election, Democrat Joe Biden, tweeted on Tuesday morning: "Mr President, step up and do your job before even more American families feel the pain of losing a loved one."Biden also wrote: "On July 1st, Donald Trump predicted the coronavirus was going to 'just disappear.' He was wrong – and more than 25,000 Americans died due to the virus last month."default default Swan pressed the president on which countries were doing worse. Trump brandished several pieces of paper with graphs and charts on them that he referred to as he attempted to suggest the US figures compared well internationally."Right here, United States is lowest in numerous categories. We're lower than the world. Lower than Europe.""In what?" asks Swan. As it becomes apparent that Trump is talking about the number of deaths as a proportion of cases, Swan says said: "Oh, you're doing death as a proportion of cases. I'm talking about death as a proportion of population. That's where the US is really bad. Much worse than Germany, South Korea."Trump then says: "You can't do that."According to figures from Johns Hopkins University, the US has had over 4.7m confirmed Covid-19 cases, with 155,471 deaths. The US accounts for more than a quarter of all global confirmed infections.In another section of the interview, Trump repeats his false assertion that the reason the US has a significantly higher number of cases is because it tests more than anyone else, saying: "You know, there are those that say you can test too much. You do know that."Asked who says that, Trump replies: "Oh, just read the manuals. Read the books."Trump also appears, without evidence, to assert that children are receiving positive Covid-19 test results for having a runny nose – which is not generally listed among the symptoms of coronavirus, which include a high temperature and a new continuous cough."You test, some kid has even just a little runny nose, it's a case. And then you report many cases," Trump says.The president attempts to shift blame for the outbreaks of coronavirus on to state governors, saying: "We have done a great job. We've got the governors everything they needed. They didn't do their job – many of them didn't, some of them did."The actor and activist Mia Farrow tweeted: "Every American should watch this, the full, flabbergasting interview."Trump was also asked about his previous baseless assertion that due to mail-in voting, the forthcoming US election would be "the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history".In the interview, Trump says: "So we have a new phenomena [sic], it's called mail-in voting." Swan then clarifies that mail-in voting has existed since the US civil war.Further attempting to cast doubt on the process, Trump says: "So they're going to send tens of millions of ballots to California, all over the place. Who's going to get them? Somebody got a ballot for a dog. Somebody got a ballot for something else. You got millions of ballots going. Nobody even knows where they're going."The interview took place last Tuesday, before the president's tweet that falsely floated the idea that November's election could be delayed.On Maxwell and Epstein, the president appeared to cast doubt on the official account of the cause of Epstein's death, which has been a repeated source of conspiracy theories.Of Maxwell, Trump says "Her friend or boyfriend Epstein was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She's now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well." Trump goes on twice more to say of Epstein: "Was it suicide or was he killed?"> Trump again wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well pic.twitter.com/whWhZoO4mC> > — Parker Molloy (@ParkerMolloy) August 4, 2020In another part of the interview, he dismissed again as "fake news" intelligence reports that Russia had been offering bounties to the Taliban for attacks on US forces in Afghanistan. Asked specifically by Swan whether he had ever discussed the issue with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, Trump confirms he has never mentioned it to him.When Swan asks Trump about Russia supplying weapons to the Taliban, the president asserts: "I have heard that, but it has never reached my desk."Lily Adams, a spokeswoman and adviser for the so-called war room of the Democratic party's national committee slammed the president as incoherent and rambling through misinformation."Trump's disastrous interview would be laughable if the stakes weren't so high. More than 155,000 Americans have died, over 4.7 million have been infected, and we are in the sharpest economic downturn on record … coronavirus cases are skyrocketing and the economy is spiraling because of his failed response," Adams said.

German public 'unconcerned' at US troop withdrawal
Most Germans are unconcerned by US plans to withdraw almost 12,000 troops currently stationed in the country, according to a new survey published on Tuesday. Angela Merkel's government has expressed dismay at the move, which Donald Trump said was in response to Germany's failure to pay enough towards the cost of its defence. But a poll by YouGov found 47 per cent of Germans are in favour of reducing the number of American troops based on their soil. Only 32 per cent were opposed to any drop in the US presence, while 21 per cent expressed no opinion on the issue. Most striking of all, a quarter of those surveyed said they would support a complete withdrawal of all US troops from Germany.

Can you get the coronavirus from secondhand smoke?
Secondhand smoke isn't believed to directly spread the virus, experts say, but infected smokers may blow droplets carrying the virus when they exhale. The respiratory droplets people spray when they talk, cough or sneeze are believed to be the main way the virus spreads. "Not only are they potentially spreading virus by not wearing a mask, they are blowing those droplets to the people around them to potentially get infected," says Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association.

Worries about 2020 census' accuracy grow with cut schedule
The U.S. Census Bureau is cutting its schedule for data collection for the 2020 census a month short as legislation that would have extended the national head count's deadlines stalls in Congress. The Census Bureau said late Monday that the door-knocking and ability for households to respond either online, by phone or by mail to the questionnaire will stop at the end of September instead of the end of October so that it can meet an end-of-the-year deadline to turn in numbers used for redrawing congressional districts. Census experts, academics and civil rights activists worry the sped-up count could hurt its thoroughness and produce inaccurate data that will have lasting effects through the next decade.

Biden tells Trump to 'do your job' as coronavirus fails to 'just disappear'
* President repeated a month ago that Covid-19 would go away * Democrat says virus has killed 25,000 Americans sinceThe presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Joe Biden, told Donald Trump "to step up and do your job" on Tuesday, highlighting that it had been a month since Trump most recently predicted the coronavirus would "just disappear"."He was wrong – and more than 25,000 Americans died due to the virus last month," Biden tweeted on Tuesday morning. "Mr President, step up and do your job before even more American families feel the pain of losing a loved one."More than 4.7 million people in the US have been diagnosed with Covid-19 and at least 155,471 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. While the US is home to 4% of the world's population, the country accounts for more than a quarter of global confirmed infections.More than 30 million Americans are unemployed because of the business closures to stop the spread of coronavirus. The White House and Congress are negotiating a new economic relief package, but two key relief measures ended last week, leaving millions of families with a sudden drop in income and fewer protections from evictions.Amid these colliding crises, Trump on Monday floundered in an interview with the Axios news site, where he repeatedly insisted the US was doing better than other countries, brandishing several pieces of paper with charts to make his point.Axios's national political correspondent, Jonathan Swan, then realized Trump was talking about how many deaths the US has had in relation to identified cases. Swan then explained the deaths as a proportion of the population was where the US was doing badly in comparison with the rest of the world. Trump responded: "You can't do that."Covid-19 deaths rose for a fourth week in a row to more than 8,500 people in the seven-day period that ended Sunday, according to a Reuters analysis.A surge in cases has been identified in midwestern states for the first time while fewer cases and hospitalizations were recorded in some of the country's most populated states: Arizona, Florida, Texas and California.California has had more cases identified than anywhere in the country, but Governor Gavin Newsom said on Monday the weekly average of cases was down 21% from the previous week. He also cautioned it was too early to celebrate."This virus is not going away," Newsom said. "It's not going to take Labor Day weekend off or Halloween off or the holidays off. Until we have a vaccine, we are going to be living with this virus."The nation's top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, on Monday praised the state of Connecticut, which has one of the lowest infection rates in the country, because of its slow, staggered reopening process. "You are in a situation that you now, in many respects, have the upper hand, because you have such a low rate that when you do get new cases, you have the capability of containment as opposed to mitigation," Fauci said.New York, which has also been slow to reopen compared with much of the rest of the country, also had a case positivity rate lower than 1% this past weekend. But the densely populated state and its neighbor New Jersey have seen an increase in cases in recent days.The disparate situations across the country prompted teachers from dozens of school districts, including Chicago, Milwaukee and Philadelphia, to lead protests from their cars on Monday asking for instruction to be online in the fall.Health experts have warned the decision to return to in-person instruction must first prioritize the safety of school staff and students. The Trump administration has been aggressive in its push to force all the country's schools to open for instruction in the fall, however."OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!!" Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning.About 260 employees of a school district in Gwinnett county, Georgia, have either tested positive for Covid-19 or are quarantining because of possible exposure after returning to work last week to prepare for the start of the school year. Hundreds of the school district's teachers had asked to be able to work from home for the fall. The school district said the cases were mostly from community spread.The United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, on Tuesday said at least 40 million children were missing out on education and urged schools to reopen once local transmission of coronavirus was under control.Guterres warned the world faced "a generational catastrophe that could waste untold human potential, undermine decades of progress, and exacerbate entrenched inequalities".Deaths in the US have disproportionately affected black, Latino and Native communities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The resulting economic crisis has also affected women more than men, for the first time in the history of a US economic crisis.When employment figures rebounded slightly in May, they did so for every population except black women, one in six of whom were unemployed that month, according to an analysis by the National Women's Law Center.To address the financial crisis, the treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, and White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, are due to meet again with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leaders in the House and Senate respectively, on Tuesday. It is unclear if the parties will be able to reach a deal before the Senate is scheduled to take a month-long recess at the end of the week.

County pledges probe into health worker's coronavirus death
Officials in a Maryland county say they "will spare no time or expense" investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a veteran public health worker who died of COVID-19 after relatives and coworkers believe she contracted the virus on the job. The probe follows a story by Kaiser Health News and The Associated Press two weeks ago focusing on the worker, Chantee Mack, a 44-year-old disease intervention specialist at the Prince George's County Health Department who union officials said was among at least 20 department employees infected by the coronavirus. The outbreak underscores the stark dangers facing the nation's front-line public health army, the subject of an ongoing series by KHN and the AP, "Underfunded and Under Threat."

The addition of a new CMO signals the momentum at Pantheon in marketing digital experiences with best-in-class remote collaboration Christy Marble Pantheon hires Christy Marble as Chief Marketing Officer to Drive Expansion of WebOps CategorySAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today Pantheon, the leader in WebOps (website operations), names Christy Marble as Chief Marketing Officer, the company's first C-suite hire since transitioning to an all-remote workforce in March.

This means internal collaboration between IT, development, and marketing has become critical to brand experience and business results.""We are very excited and proud to bring Christy into the fold," says Pantheon CEO Zack Rosen.

75 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Vatican is providing moral guidance on nuclear weapons
Ahead of the 75th anniversary year of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Pope Francis visited both cities.At a solemn event at the Hiroshima Peace Park in November 2019, Francis declared the use of atomic energy for war to be "a crime not only against the dignity of human beings but against any possible future for our common home." "How," he asked, "can we speak of peace even as we build terrifying new weapons of war?"His comments came nearly 40 years after John Paul II became the first pope to visit the site of the atomic bomb attacks, which pulverized the two cities on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945 and killed in excess of 200,000 in the process. Deterrence to abolitionDuring his visit, Francis reiterated what he previously told assembled Nobel Peace Prize laureates, diplomats and civil society representatives at a Vatican symposium in 2017, that nuclear weapons, along with chemical weapons and landmines, were impermissible. "The threat of their use, as well as their very possession, is to be firmly condemned," he said.We were at that 2017 symposium – Fr. Christiansen was a participant – and we later co-edited a book of testimonies from that landmark event, titled "A World Free from Nuclear Weapons: The Vatican Conference on Disarmament."As scholars who study how the Vatican's position on nuclear arms has evolved, we see an ongoing role for the Catholic Church in providing moral guidance on the issue. A year after the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, during which the U.S. and the Soviet Union came perilously close to nuclear conflict, Pope John XXIII published the encyclical "Pacem in terris" – translated as Peace on Earth – in which he argued for balanced reduction of nuclear weapons leading ultimately to abolition. In 1965, bishops at Vatican II, while contemplating nuclear war, urged in the pastoral constitution document "Gaudium et spes" – translated as Joy and Hope – that, "Whatever may be the case with deterrence…the arms race…[will not] preserve a sure and authentic peace." Pope John Paul II conditionally accepted deterrence in a 1982 address to the U.N. General Assembly. He wanted abolition and disarmament, but was constrained by the politics and technology of the day. The Cold War was still raging, and the Vatican accepted, albeit reluctantly, nuclear deterrence – the concept of keeping weapons to stop others from using them – rather than outright abolition at that time. Some 30 years later, in a changed global reality, the Vatican foreign minister told the U.N. that deterrence was the chief obstacle to disarmament, setting up the position of the Vatican today.In 2017, the Holy See became one of the first signers of the U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Article 1 prohibits signers to "develop, test, produce, manufacture, otherwise acquire, possess or stockpile nuclear weapons…" This was the backdrop for Pope Francis' historic condemnation of deterrence and call for disarmament later that fall.One hundred and twenty-two nations voted for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. For its labors on behalf of the treaty, ICAN, the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons, an umbrella group of civil society opponents of nuclear weapons, won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize. Beyond the hierarchyBut the guidance provided by the Catholic Church is not simply through official statements and positions from the top. Across the church, various groups have long campaigned for abolition of nuclear weapons. Catholic nuns have often been at the forefront of this work. In Japan, several activist hibakusha – survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – are sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and the Society of the Helper of Holy Souls, among other congregations.In the U.S., Sister Jennifer Kane was a nuclear engineer before realizing, in the words of her congregation in 2019, "that God was calling her to a more spiritual combat" as an antinuclear activist. And Dominicans, Religious of the Sacred Heart, and Society of the Holy Child Jesus have participated in the grassroots anti-nuclear direct-action movement Plowshares, at times resulting in prison time for activist nuns.This willingness to speak out against nuclear violence is consistent with Pope Francis' example. He offers a style of moral deliberation that calls for discernment, not blind obedience. Francis has urged those who work in the nuclear field to educate themselves, preferably accompanied by a spiritual adviser, and explore alternatives in line with their conscience.This creative exercise in moral responsibility is for anyone, religious or not. It is reflected in the work of the Project on Revitalizing Catholic Engagement on Nuclear Disarmament – a body co-sponsored by, among others, The University of Notre Dame, Georgetown University, The Catholic University of America, and the Catholic Peacebuilding Network. Courage of conscienceChurch teaching demands that conscientious officials and nuclear workers resist orders they deem to be immoral.The Second Vatican Council of the early 1960s taught that obeying orders is no excuse for participating in atrocities, and urged anyone, whether top military leader or rank-and-file citizen, to display "the courage of those who openly and fearlessly resist."[Deep knowledge, daily. Sign up for The Conversation's newsletter.]Indeed, in 2018 two chiefs of the U.S. Strategic Air Command testified in a Senate hearing that they would not comply with illegal orders to deploy nuclear weapons, and that they would offer civilian authorities alternative courses of action to pursue.There may be more than one right answer for those of us who are called to respond to the moral challenge of nuclear weapons.But 75 years on from the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Vatican gives us clear moral guidance that disarmament is possible, and for all of us, religious or secular, its time has long since come.This article is republished from The Conversation, a nonprofit news site dedicated to sharing ideas from academic experts.Read more: * Bikini islanders still deal with fallout of US nuclear tests, more than 70 years later * The moral – and political – force of Pope Francis on climateRev.

Parents unhappy with school options assemble learning 'pods'
On the 4-acre farm at the edge of the Everglades where Timea Hunter runs a horse academy, she has hosted plenty of parties, picnics and workshops. While her son and daughter will participate in distance learning at their school, she plans to hire a teacher together with the families of four to six other children who could provide supplemental, in-person instruction on the farm shaded by royal poinciana trees. As the coronavirus pandemic has clouded hopes of reopening schools nationwide, parents who want more than remote instruction have been scrambling to hire tutors and private teachers for small groups of children.

Iran records highest COVID-19 cases in over month
Iran confirmed Tuesday over 2,700 new COVID-19 infections, its highest single-day count in more than a month, as the health ministry called for those without masks to be fined. Deaths and infections from the novel coronavirus have been on a rising trajectory in the Islamic republic since hitting a months-long low in May. This has prompted Iran to make wearing masks mandatory in enclosed spaces and reimpose restrictions lifted gradually since April to reopen the economy.

Family tells AP: Iran abducted California man while in Dubai
A California-based member of an Iranian militant opposition group in exile was abducted by Iran while staying in Dubai, his family said Tuesday. The suspected cross-border abduction of Jamshid Sharmahd appears corroborated by mobile phone location data, shared by his family with The Associated Press, that suggests he was taken to neighboring Oman before heading to Iran. Iran hasn't said how it detained Sharmahd, though the announcement came against the backdrop of covert actions conducted by Iran amid heightened tensions with the U.S. over Tehran's collapsing nuclear deal with world powers.

Ex-teacher hopes to free Belarus from president's iron fist
A 37-year-old former English teacher without political experience seems an unlikely challenger to the authoritarian president of Belarus who has been the ex-Soviet nation's only leader for more than a quarter-century. Tsikhanouskaya says the crowds - the biggest demonstrations Belarus has seen since becoming independent in 1991 - reflect a desperate longing for transformation after President Alexander Lukashenko's 26-year rule.

MuscleTech Clear Muscle is a novel, never-before-produced supplement that supplies the revolutionary musclebuilding compound called BetaTOR, which is a unique, cutting-edge free acid derivative of HMB and metabolite of leucine. This compound unlocks the true potential for unprecedented bioavailability, effectiveness, and results. The free acid nature of the compound gives it a viscous, water-like consistency and transparency. In fact, the free acid nature of BetaTOR allows it to digest and appear in the bloodstream quickly, and also delivers a superior muscle absorption rate.*
Researchers at the prestigious University of Tampa in Florida conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study where they gave one group of subjects the BetaTOR compound found in MuscleTech Clear Muscle; the second group received a placebo. Both groups went through a hardcore 12-week training regimen consisting of 3 to 5 days of weightlifting per week. The results were staggering - subjects using the precise Clear Muscle formula gained 16.3 lbs. of muscle in 12 weeks. The placebo group gained 4.6 lbs. These results are more profound than any results from research conducted on protein, creatine, BCAAs, or any other performance-enhancing compound.*

I own every record that he has, but there are plenty of no's on that list in my Point of View. Although I wished they would've played Garth AT MY HOMECOMING LAST YEAR!
Overhearing a Garth song in ANY location will stop you in your tracks (it does me)
If you read a thread titled "You know your a Garth fanatic if..." to see how many on the list apply to yourself and your head hurts afterwards from nodding when you're done.
Vegoth, FILP was played at my school's homecoming dances all 4 years I attended, and Shameless was played at my senior prom.
You also know you're a Garth fanatic when....
- Your MySpace page has a quote from the "We Shall Be Free" video.
- You would rather hear Garth's album Scarecrow than John Cougar's 1980s album of the same name.
- You still have all the issues of the believer magazine. (You know, I've been a GB fan my whole life and I never subscribed to it. SHAME ON ME!)
- The day Garth announced his retirement is referred to you as "the day country music went down the drain".
- It drives you crazy when people refer to Tim McGraw, Toby Keith or Kenny Chesney as "the next Garth Brooks" or compare them to Garth.
- You have a pillow that is patterened after one of Garth's famous shirts.
- "The Chase" does not refer to what you see on America's Wildest Police Videos or the 6 o'clock news.
- You can actually write Garth's signature (I can do the one you see at the beginning of TIGB and TIGB Too)
- All your "research papers on a famous person," whether assigned in school or college, were about Garth, Martina McBride, Steve Wariner, Chris LeDoux or Trisha Yearwood.
--You yell "GOD BLESS CHRIS LeDOUX" every time you hear "Much Too Young" on the radio.--
I'm not the only one! I always enjoyed doing that ever since I first heard it. It just seems like the new normal for the song.
I also have one to add that I'm guilty of -- "If you seem to be the only person in upstate New York that wears the Mo Betta shirt from Callin' Baton Rouge."
By the way, nice list!
How about...
Every time there is a thunder storm you start to sing "the thunder rolls"
After seeing the video for "The Red Strokes" your new favorite color becomes red, you watch it over and over again thinking how in the name of god did he wash all that paint off
when your in the car you search all the country stations until you find a garth song and when it's over you consider that station "used up" for a good 2 hours and continue to search the other stations for a garth song
when you hear people talking about kenny chesneys summer tour your instant reaction is If Garth were touring kenny wouldn't stand a chance
You watch the movie "Frequency" and "Hope Floats" just because garth sang songs for them
You look for garth posters whenever you go to wal-mart even though you know there won't be any (But seriously wal-mart should have done that because it would have made a good deal of money)
This is a cool thread. I am quite shocked at how many of these apply to me and that they OBVIOUSLY apply to others as well. I really thought that I was the "only one" who do this or that...FUNNY STUFF!! Great thread!
Isn't Garth's "Ireland" Irelands National Anthem...?
Wait, you mean that Garth didn't record a cover of Ireland's National Anthem? Oh well, brain fart.
Here's another one
...you choose Garth as your cultural leader from the 1990's for your English project, just so you can dress up as him and play one of his songs for your class. GOOD TIMES :-)
You know you're a Garth fanatic when... (Part 3)
- You go with a friend to see George Strait just because he influenced Garth.
- You watch other artists' concerts and write down what special effects they have that you'd like to see Garth try at his shows.
- You've ever been in a fistfight with someone over their opinion of Garth's marketing savvy (the Scott Hendricks/Pat Quigely deal.)
- The local radio station has blocked your number because you bugged the heck out of them trying to request "More Than A Memory."
- You think the bronze statue of Garth inside Buck Owens' Crystal Palace should be placed in Yukon's town square.
When you buy non refundable plane tickets to Kansas City before you have concert tickets!!! What an idiot(referring to self)!!
You sit in your driveway until the Garth song on the radio is over, mainly because you are singing along.
When you can't sleep the night before tickets go on sale because your that excited, nervous and pumped!!
well i just got a shoe to the head crtiousy of my sister, due to the fact i couldnt stop laughting and woke her up. i do believe i will now super glue myself to my computer chair.
bulls&mud over and out.
You know you're a Garth Fanatic when... Your older brother who is (or was) a Garth Fan storms into your room while your blasting Garth at full max on your stereo, and rips the CD out of the player and snaps it in half, because he is soo tired of hearing Garth/the same songs over & over again!!!!
The sad part is that's true! My brother snapped my Fresh Horses CD in half because I kept playing the same songs over 12 times in a row!!! An hour later he came back and gave me his copy of Fresh Horses because he felt bad! XD
You know you're a Garth fanatic if
- You own and wear so many Garth tee shirts that people start calling you garth.
- You still show up to Wal Mart at midnight to buy his new album.
- You have a blow up fight with your wife in the labor room cause you think the name Garth would be a great name and she tells you how crazy you are.
- You wife names your son Jackson and you still call him Garth.
- You buy a stetson hat and try to reshape it like one of Garth's hats.
You cry when you can't find any tickets to his concert in KS and then run up and down your street screeming when your dad buys you some for way too much money!
...you try to get at week of from work to fly over and see as many concerts as possible. But it's only a 22 hour trip each way, so it's worth it!
When I was in high school, I had a classmate bet me $10 that I didn't have enough Garth shirts to wear a different one to school each day for a week... I bet him $50 that I could wear a different one each day for 2 weeks - and I did! Of course he never paid me. lol
You drive for 1/12 hrs from Jersey to Philly to pick up a country station, pull over to listen, and have to tell people NO I'm not having car trouble I'm waiting to hear more than a memory then sitting for another hour to hear it again.
Almost getting arrested in a bar for unplugging the karaoke when another man "tries" to sing The Dance.
Including Garth in my daily prayers and telling God the man he created on 02/07/1962 is one of His best works.
If you live in California, bought tickets to the OK concert, to then buy tix to the last night of KC and will be driving between the two!! And I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who yells "God Bless Chris Ledoux" and sits in my car to listen to the rest of every garth song on the radio, even though i have them all on cd.
Jackson / Garth LOL!
I only got ONE also - when are you going?

Agartala is the capital of Indian state of Tripura and also is the second largest city in North-east India after Guwahati, both in municipal area and population. It's a congested but relaxed place, and in many ways feels more like a small town than a state capital. Home to the Manikya Kings in the past, Agartala is the perfect mix of natural beauty combined with diverse and rich culture. Agartala is not just all flowers and valleys but also has a cultural richness with the diversity of people that stay here along with the historical and religious monuments. One of the most prominent attractions of this place is the Ujjayanta Palace, which is the royal house of Tripura. The most developed city in the state, it is still a far cry from the metros and hence maintains the best of both worlds.
Nice to know - Literacy Rate: With 94.65% literacy rate, Tripura is the most literate state in India. Tripura has free education for children in the age group 6-14 Yrs.
Things to do
Ujjayanta Palace

Each year, 311 — New York City's main hub for government information and non-emergency services — receives millions of requests and complaints, including New Yorkers' gripes about their neighbors.
People whose sexual identities changed toward same-sex attraction in early adulthood reported more symptoms of depression in a nationwide survey than those whose sexual orientations did not change or changed in the opposite direction, according to a new study by a University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) sociologist.
A new study reveals that individuals in their 60s who give advice to a broad range of people tend to see their lives as especially meaningful. At the same time, this happens to be the age when opportunities for dispensing advice become increasingly scarce.
Social scientists have long argued documentary films are powerful tools for social change.
But a University of Iowa (UI) sociologist and his co-researchers are the first to use the Internet and social media to systematically show how a documentary film reshaped public perception and ultimately led to municipal bans on hydraulic fracking.
Do police treat religious-based protest events differently than secular ones? Drawing on data from more than 15,000 protest events in the United States (1960 to 1995) and using quantitative methods, we find that law enforcement agents were less likely to show up at protests when general religious actors, actions, or organizations were present. Rather than reflecting privileged legitimacy, we find that this protective effect is explained by religious protesters' use of less threatening tactics at events.
Lawyers keep the gates of public justice institutions, particularly through their roles in formal procedures like hearings and trials. Yet, it is not clear what lawyers do in such quintessentially legal settings: conclusions from past research are bedeviled by a lack of clear theory and inconsistencies in research design. Conceptualizing litigation work in terms of professional expertise, I conduct a theoretically grounded synthesis of the findings of extant studies of lawyers' impact on civil case outcomes.
Recent scholarship highlights the importance of public discourse for the mobilization and impact of social movements, but it neglects how cultural products may shift discourse and thereby influence mobilization and political outcomes. This study investigates how activism against hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") utilized cultural artifacts to influence public perceptions and effect change. A systematic analysis of Internet search data, social media postings, and newspaper articles allows us to identify how the documentary Gasland reshaped public discourse.
There are concerns about the meaning of self-rated health (SRH) and the factors individuals consider. To illustrate how SRH is contextualized, we examine how the obesity–SRH association varies across age, periods, and cohorts. We decompose SRH into subjective and objective components and use a mechanism-based age–period–cohort model approach with four decades (1970s to 2000s) and five birth cohorts of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (N = 26,184).
Multiple chronic conditions (i.e., multimorbidity) increase a person's depressive symptoms more than having one chronic condition. Little is known regarding whether multimorbidity similarly increases the depressive symptoms of one's spouse and whether this depends on type of condition, gender, or both spouses' health status. Analysis of multiple waves of the Health and Retirement Study reveals husband's number of chronic conditions is positively related to wife's depressive symptoms when both spouses are chronically ill.
We develop a gendered marital biography approach—which emphasizes the accumulating gendered experiences of singlehood, marriage, marital dissolution, and remarriage—to examine the relationship between marital statuses and transitions and heavy alcohol use. We test this approach using individual-level (n = 10,457) and couple-level (n = 2,170) longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study, and individual-level (n = 46) and couple-level (n = 42) in-depth interview data.

These photos are from one of my favorite books in my collection, "Disco Chic: All the Styles, Steps and Places to Go" published in 1979. Inside is a treasure of top tips for the right clothing to wear, the right dance moves to make and best of all- a whole chapter on makeup. Not only are there instructions for highlighting and contouring (very important for this era), but also included are fun fantasy ideas. I love these feather lash looks from 33 years ago because back then, one had to buy feathers and glue them on individually whereas today, ready-made versions are available everywhere.

Joe Bartlett
"And William Tyler Page was a splendid man. He had that claw-hammered coat, you know. He dressed a fashion—a formality—100 years earlier. But he and Senator [Clyde] Hoey continued to do this into the 20th century. I enjoyed visiting with William Tyler Page. And I must confess, if I ever had an ambition in the process of my career—and I didn't really have very many, because I thought how unrealistic it was for me to presume that fate might favor me that way, and I wasn't kidding myself—but I so admired William Tyler Page and his knowledge of Congress that, yes, I said, 'Gee, wouldn't it be wonderful to follow in his footsteps.' And so I must say, when I finally was elected to that job, it had much more significance for me than many people knew."
— Joe Bartlett, April 7, 2006
Abstract & Transcript
In the summer of 1941, just before his 15th birthday, Joe Bartlett left the family farm in rural West Virginia to work as a Page on Capitol Hill. But what he expected would be a one-month position became a House career that spanned 38 years. Bartlett eventually served as the chief of Pages, then as a reading clerk and, in the 1970s, as Clerk to the Minority, the senior Republican staff officer in the House. In his series of interviews, he provided many details on House proceedings and insights on how each of his positions fit into the day-to-day operation of the institution. Bartlett witnessed and described many historic events during his long tenure on the Hill, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Day of Infamy" speech on December 8, 1941 and the 1954 shooting in the House Chamber. He also spoke about the daily routines, customs, and traditions he observed in the U.S. House. Bartlett's recollections of the House Page program, the Congressional Baseball Game, the renovation of the House Chamber from 1949 to 1951, and his personal memories of the era's leading Representatives and House Officers, such as Sam Rayburn, Joe Martin, William Tyler Page, Joe Sinnott, and South Trimble, all provide an invaluable and unique perspective on the institution.
Dorsey Joseph Bartlett was born on August 7, 1926, in Clarksburg, West Virginia. He was the sixth of ten children of Flavius Dorsey Bartlett, an efficiency engineer in the glass business, and Blanche (Hacker) Bartlett. Bartlett lived on the family farm in central West Virginia and attended local schools. After being named "America's Typical Schoolboy Patrolman," he was awarded a 30-day appointment as a HousePage on August 1, 1941, with the help of Representative Wright Patman of Texas. Later, having impressed Doorkeeper Joe Sinnott and House Clerk South Trimble, Bartlett received Page appointments while serving as Page Overseer and attending the Capitol Page School. Upon graduating in 1944, Bartlett enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was honorably discharged as a Private First Class in September 1945.
Returning to the Capitol after his service in World War II, Bartlett was appointed the Republican chief of Pages by Speaker Joe Martin of Massachusetts. He oversaw the work of several dozen House Pages, some as young as 11 years old. Commissioned from the ranks of the Marine Corps Reserve, Bartlett was recalled to active duty in January 1951 and served until June of 1952. From 1953 to 1971,Bartlett was a House reading clerk, sharing duties on the rostrum and working with the Speaker's and the Clerk's offices on numerous floor-related and administrative tasks. Bartlett also served as chief reading clerk for six Republican National Conventions. From May 1971until he retired, Bartlett served as Minority Clerk.
In January 1979, a year after retiring from the Marine Corps as a Brigadier General, Bartlett retired from the House. During his career, Bartlett received honorary law degrees from the Atlanta Law School and Salem College. He was also awarded the Legion of Merit, and in 1982 he was the Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the Federal Executive Institute. Joe Bartlett died on March 1, 2013, at his home in Richmond, Virginia.

Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
The amount of information we create, record, edit, share, and save—from the movies we watch to the pictures we take and the documents we store—has greatly increased over the years. All of this high-quality digital content demands a responsive, safe, and reliable storage solution.
- Intel® Smart Response Technology
- PCIe* storage support
- Dynamic storage accelerator
- Serial ATA RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support
- Power-up in standby (PUIS) support
Read the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise product brief >
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology offers greater levels of performance, responsiveness, and expandability than ever before. Whether you are using one or multiple serial ATA (SATA) or PCIe drives, you can take advantage of enhanced performance and lower power consumption from the latest storage technologies. Additionally, you can rest easy knowing you have added protection against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure. View larger image >
Unleash the Performance of Your Solid-State Drive
Intel Rapid Storage Technology has added support for next generation PCIe storage devices with transfer speeds up to 1 GB/s that maximizes storage performance and improves response time for everyday usages like photo editing, video loading, and office productivity.
Dynamic storage accelerator accelerates the performance of your SSD by dynamically adjusting system power management policies to deliver up to 15 percent faster performance1 during heavy multitasking compared to default power management.
Fast Access to the Files and Applications You Use Most
Intel® Smart Response Technology is a feature of Intel Rapid Storage Technology that recognizes and automatically stores your most frequently used applications and data into a high performance SSD while giving you full access to the large storage capacity of a hard disk drive (HDD). This enables a lower-cost, small-capacity SSD to be used in conjunction with a high-capacity HDD. Intel Smart Response Technology enables your system to perform faster than a system with just a HDD.
Intel Smart Response Technology also supports solid-state hybrid drives (SSHDs). Intel Smart Response Technology boosts SSHD performance by informing the drive which data you use the most so it can store it into the built-in SSD, so your most frequently used data and applications are instantly accessible.
Performance with Protection: RAID Technology
Most of us don't plan backup storage well in advance. Hard drive failure can be devastating, because it results in irretrievable content. Intel Rapid Storage Technology offers features that improve performance and data reliability for disk-intensive retrieval applications such as editing home video. For the fastest performance, Intel Rapid Storage Technology can combine from two to six drives in a configuration known as RAID 0, so data can be accessed on each drive simultaneously, speeding up response time. For the best reliability, Intel Rapid Storage Technology RAID support includes the following levels of performance and reliability:
- RAID level 0 (Striping)
- RAID level 1 (Mirroring)
- RAID level 5 (Striping with parity)
- RAID level 10 (Striping and mirroring)
Multiple drives in a PC can also provide added protection from disastrous hard drive failures by mirroring all data among two or more drives. This configuration is known as RAID 1. RAID 5 and 10 provide additional reliability by mirroring all data among three and four drives respectively.
Rapid Data Recovery
Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT) provides a recovery point that can be used to quickly recover a system in the event of hard drive failure or data corruption. The clone can also be mounted as a read-only volume to allow a user to recover individual files.
Intel Smart Response Technology also supports SSHDs. An SSHD is a new type of HDD with a built-in high-performance SSD. Intel Smart Response Technology boosts SSHD performance by informing the drive which data you use the most, so it can store it into the built-in SSD.
You can create, work, and play faster than ever before without paying more for a larger SSD to store your entire digital library.
Product and Performance Information
Dynamic Storage Accelerator Performance is dependent upon several factors including workload, storage configuration, operating system (OS), and CPU C-state transition efficiency. Testing has found that Dynamic Storage Accelerator performance mode, 2 SSD RAID 0 provides up to a 15-percent performance gain as compared to default power management. Intel® microarchitecture (formerly code named Haswell) 3GHz, Intel® Q87 chipset (formerly code named Lynx Point), 2 x 2GB @ 1333MHz RST 126.96.36.1995OS. HDD: Western Digital Black* WD2002FAEX 2TB; Intel® SSD 320 Series; OS tested: RAID 0, two disk; Windows 7* Service Pack 1 (SP1) build 7601; Benchmark software: PCMark Vantage* 1.0.2 patch 1901.
