We all need wellness 2021 ideas for staying mentally and physically healthy as this is most challenging in the colder months. Christmas is already a distant, dreamy memory and Luxuriate Life's wellness ideas to improve your body, mind and soul for 2021 is serving up tips for a supersize portion of quality me-time in 2021.
Wellness ideas always start with DNA testing as this can reveal some amazing insights about the body – from understanding about diet and fitness, to discovering traits that can have an impact on serious health conditions. The Circle Premium DNA test assesses genetic risk or predisposition for potential health conditions, diseases and cancers. They say that knowledge is power, and this level of DNA understanding can help with proactively managing risks in all areas of life. That might be earlier screening, eating better or making lifestyle changes. So many health conditions and diseases can be managed and treated more efficiently if they are detected early, and if the appropriate lifestyle changes are made.

Reproductive rights across the U.S. are under attack, with states continuing to pass highly restrictive and cruel abortion bans in an attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade. To address the vital issue, Planned Parenthood Action Fund is set to hold a forum on reproductive rights with Democrats seeking the 2020 presidential nomination, the New York Times reports.
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund will be hosting the forum on June 22 in Columbia, South Carolina, per the Times. Thus far, 16 out of the what feels like thousands of people seeking the Democratic nomination have agreed to participate — with more expected to join in as well. The list of confirmed participants includes Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, and Joe Biden.
During the event, which will be livestreamed online by NowThis News, each candidate will be questioned individually for 15 minutes about their records and stances on reproductive-rights issues, including abortion, health-care access, and contraception. Many of the participating candidates have pledged to protect reproductive rights. However, former vice-president Joe Biden recently voiced support for the Hyde Amendment — which blocks federal Medicaid funds from being used on abortion services — only to reverse his stance after intense criticism.
PPFA executive director Kelley Robinson told the Times, "It's crystal clear that access to reproductive health care — including safe, legal abortion — is a top issue heading into 2020. If the 13 million-plus Planned Parenthood supporters turn out to the polls and activate their networks, they can tip the 2020 election."

Kidding News
Well, the results are in, and Noelle, Kimba, and Bridgette are each pregnant! I had them running with the buck, so due dates are soft. My best guess is Noelle (who is already showing at 10 weeks) will be going first, possible due date around April 5th. I believe Kimba may follow a week later. I never saw Bridgette bred, so her date is unknown.
Also in Goat News, the entire herd tested clean for CL, CAE, and Johnnes!

Emotive Imagery
Emotive imagery is a therapeutic procedure which makes the client imagine emotion-stimulating scenes (positive or negative) within the security of a tranquil and protective ambience. This technique is often used in behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) . For instance, a girl has an irrational fear of cockroaches. She is then asked to close her eyes and relax on a comfortable couch; after a couple of minutes, she is asked to imagine that she is a foot away from the feared insect and that she is being courageously indifferent to it.

A day on which we saw Serena Williams keep trucking, Denis Shapolov bungled out, and Julien Benneteau bid a final adieu, Thursday was a day that highlighted the ups, downs and bittersweet moments that make a tennis career.
Whether you never win a slam, or win 23 of them, it's hard to argue athletes in any other sport go through as many chapters as a tennis player does. You can break through at 19… or at 32, be a hero… and a villain, make several comebacks, and define your whole career narrative in a two-week run. I mean really, we shouldn't be this invested in people we don't know, but how can you not be?
Here's your three to see on day 6 at Roland Garros — if you're there, I hope you have Suzanne Lenglen tickets!
Madison Keys (USA) [13] v Naomi Osaka (JPN) [21] – First on Suzanne Lenglen
Two women who have murdered their fair-share of tennis balls, Keys-Osaka is about as good a slugfest as it gets. Leading the head-to-head 2-0, Keys comes in the slight favourite, but considering they haven't played in over a year and the gains Osaka has made in that time, the Japanese has to believe she can turn the tables here. Considering their similarly massive arsenals, positioning is sure to play a big part here, as both players will look to attack constantly and will be loath to get stuck behind the baseline. All-in-all, that should mean plenty of winners, a few entertaining rallies and a real cracker of a match.
Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) [13] v Novak Djokovic (SRB) [20] – Second on Suzanne Lenglen
About as good a test of the current state of Novak Djokovic as you could hope for, Roberto Bautista Agut is the exact sort of player you'd expect him to handle – whether, he actually can… well, that's the issue. Historically the Serb has owned this matchup, winning all but one of their seven encounters, yet that one victory to Agut (Shanghai 2016) was notable for being one of the early indicators of Djokovic's slide in 2017, the Spaniard seeming to get under his skin with his sheer tenacity. Of course if Djokovic has his mind right, he still has more than enough of a baseline advantage to get the job done, but don't be surprised if it takes an extra set or two to get there.
David Goffin (BEL) [8] v Gael Monfils (FRA) [32] – Third on Suzanne Lenglen
A match where seedings mean nothing, David Goffin is set to have his hands full with both Gael Monfils and the French faithful in this one. Not including his retirement at the US Open last year, Monfils has a 2-1 advantage in their head-to-head, with all three matches going to the maximum three sets in what is a fascinating contrast in styles. Where Goffin is usually able to take the early initiative in rallies and move Monfils about with his rock-solid baseline play, the Frenchman is always one shot away from flipping things completely on its head, hanging around until he can employ his shotmaking advantage. All-in-all that should mean a wholly entertaining encounter, as likely to be three tiebreaks as five alternating bagels.

Cora's 471 Grill Hours:
|Thursday ***
NACHO TIME! I do not know what Cora's 471 Grill does, but I think it is the cheese. Nachos are not my typical order if I am going to eat out but these are not typical nachos. They are what many people love about Cora's 471 Grill so if you have never been they are a must try.
What We Have Tried at Cora's 471 Grill
OK! So you know you need to order the nachos. If you are craving some of their other menu items just adjust the amount of nachos but do not remove them from you order all together. The X-Large order is sent out on the tray and can feed 3 people as a meal easily. Looks are deceiving because they will fill you up! The other order of nachos pictured above is a Large order and it fits on a large dinner plate.
My friend and I decided on one occasion we wanted to try the enchiladas so we did not get the X-Large but the Large order of nachos and split the 2 enchiladas. They were good but with both being cheese heavy we may choose a different pairing… besides the beer, of course.
My daughter and I on another occasion tried the catfish with our nachos and it was good too. I would probably stick with just nachos instead but we need to change it up once in a while.
When I was doing Keto Diet (I just gained 5lbs by saying diet) I ordered the Pepper Steak. It looks like a small portion in the picture about but it was really thick and stuffed with peppers and cheese. So good…
The Entrees come with a trip to the salad bar to build your own salad. The variety was nice but the staff did build the salad for you due to Covid. Not a big deal and they were delicious… mine was better. LOL
Check out the menu below and see what you would choose in addition to your nachos!

As you can see below, the interior seating is a little more limited than then exterior seating. On a really hot day I understand eating inside and I never had to really wait on a table since I do not go during prime hours.
When you approach the entrance you will see the playground right away and kids seem to always be having lots of fun. Next to it is outside seating with umbrellas. This area is perfect for parents that want to supervise their kiddos and still see the band playing on Thursday Nights.
The next section is also exterior seating but covered. This is where the band will set up. Performers such as Gabe Garcia and Nick Lawrence are here regularly. Click the link below to see the Thursday lineup.

The singer lets the world know her man is better than all the rest.
Christina Aguilera gave fans a rare look into her life at home with partner/fiancé Matthew Rutler in a celebratory birthday post on Monday night.
The video tribute began with Aguilera lip-syncing along to the "Schitt's Creek" moment in which Noah Reid's Patrick performs Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" for Dan Levy's David during an open mic night.
"I would like to dedicate this song to someone special in my life," she mouthed, before adding Rutler's name.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Footage showing Rutler goofing around at home, sharing PDA with Aguilera and, lastly, a "We love you" shoutout from Christina, their daughter Summer and Max -- who the singer shares with ex-husband Jordan Bratman -- was then shown, set to the acoustic version of the song.
"You're simply the best, @m_rutler! Happy Birthday❤ You continuously impress me with how devoted, driven and hardworking you are, while being a devoted, loving and thoughtful parent & partner," she captioned the montage. "You always strive to be better and never settle for anything but. From being an amazing father to an incredible business man and forward thinker, you innovate and execute ideas on the daily."
"I remember when MasterClass was just a little idea being tossed around our backyard," she continued, referencing his job as Executive Vice President of the company, which offers tutorials from celebrity professionals like Alicia Keys, Issa Rae, Ron Howard, Spike Lee, Helen Mirren and more.
Christina Aguilera Shares Rare Home Video from Vacation with Her FamilyView Story
"Now knowing and seeing first-hand the backstory in how you helped grow it to become the mega success it is, I'm not surprised because I witness the magic behind the machine every day — in every sense of what you do," Aguilera continued. "From helping keep the family glue together to building the successes you do. I'm proud of you and will always be in your corner...cheering you on to keep shining and succeeding in all your wildest dreams. Love you baby."
Aguilera and Rutler started dating in 2010 after meeting on the set of "Burlesque," on which he was an assistant. The two got engaged in February 2014, before the birth of their daughter in August that same year.
The couple have yet to tie the knot, but are clearly still going strong.

Those operating kilns with older technology still have to pay a fine depending upon the capacity of kiln under the polluter pay principle
Punjab government, in a big relief to brick entrepreneurs, allowed them to continue using fixed chimney bull trench kiln (FCBTK) for another six months. The order allows brick kilns with FCBTK technology to operate till September 30, 2019.
However, the entrepreneurs operating such kilns have to pay a fine depending upon the capacity of kiln under the "polluter pay principle".
Brick kilns with FCBTK technology have to pay a fine of Rs 25,000 per month if capacity of kiln is equal to or more than 30,000 bricks per day. The fine is Rs 20,000 per month if capacity of kiln is less than 30,000 bricks per day.
How it started?
In order to control environmental pollution from brick kilns, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) passed an order on June 27, 2017 directing all brick kilns in the country to shift to induced draft technology — rectangular kiln shape with zig zag brick setting.
However, the order did not specify a deadline for the conversion. Acting on the CPCB order, the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) has decided to allow operation of kilns with new technology only after March 31, 2019.
This order of PPCB was met with state-wide protests from the brick owners who demanded an extension to the deadline. There are around 3,000 brick kilns in Punjab. Out of which 1,000 kilns have either converted or are in the process of conversion.
The protesters claimed that contractors are not easily available and those who are available are quoting heavy rates. The same problem is being faced with the availability of trained workers.
"Workers who are skilled to work in zig zag kilns are charging heavy prices. For example, a fireman who has monthly pay of Rs 8000 is now charging Rs 12,000 for the same job. All these factors have slowed down the conversion process, and hence, more time should be provided to us," says Surendra Kumar Singla, general secretary of Punjab brick kiln owner association.
Additionally, the non-operation of brick kilns between October 2018 and February 2019 has created a demand and supply gap, which has resulted in increase in price of bricks. This has also hampered infrastructure projects due to non-availability of bricks in the market.
Workers protest
Despite the PPCB order, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on October 24, 2018 had passed an order stating that only the brick kilns with new technology will be allowed to operate after January 31, 2019.
This order was met with widespread protest by the labourers of FCBTK, who claimed that the decision has left them jobless. "Our problems were genuine and demands justified. This is why the government extended the deadline for conversion till September 30, 2019," says Singla.
Penalty for namesake
Normal kilns (FCBTK) in Punjab are operating in blatant display of non-compliance and PPCB failed to take strong steps to stop such kilns.
Now the Punjab government came out with an order providing six month extension for the conversion. This shows that the state government has scant regards to the order of CPCB or PPCB for conversion. This order could be a sigh of relief for brick entrepreneurs but it is allowing non-compliance at the cost of environment pollution.
Moreover, no rationale was provided on how the penalty amount is decided. On an average, normal FCBTK produces 35,000 bricks per day which converts to 1.05 million bricks per month.
If cost of a brick is assumed to be Rs 4, then an individual brick entrepreneur earns around Rs 42 lakh per month, but will pay a meagre fine of Rs 25,000 per month. Under section 15(1) of The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, any non-compliance to the provision of the Act will lead to imprisonment for a term of five years or a fine of Rs 1 lakh rupees or both.
Further, if the non-compliance continues, an additional fine of Rs 5,000 per day will be imposed on the defaulter. This means that defaulters should pay a fine of Rs 1.5 lakh per month, whereas the Punjab government has charged only Rs 25,000 per month.
If the Punjab government is really serious about conversion they should have imposed a fine in accordance to the EP Act which could have served as a deterrent and expedited the conversion.
A relaxed Binder Pal Goyal, brick kiln owner with FCBTK technology from Punjab, says, "The fine imposed is unnecessary but still we are happy that we are allowed to operate our kiln for this season."

You can watch the virtual opening from 2:00pm today on our Facebook page or YouTube channel
Warrnambool's Lyndoch Living is officially launching its long-awaited state-of-the-art home on Tuesday 22nd September, in a COVID-friendly virtual celebration.
Taking place online at 2:00pm today, the launch will officially open the doors of the newly redeveloped Swinton Wing, which has been designed and built incorporating the ageing in place principles for residents.
"Throughout the design of our new home, the team has undergone extensive research and consultation with experts. We have designed the home based on best practice from Dementia Australia, along with incorporating Richard Fleming's design principles to create a better living environment for our residents. Inspiration was also drawn from the Eden Principles, which mitigate the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness and boredom and where residents are connected to the community," said CEO, Doreen Power.
There is a very deliberate move away from the traditional model of shared bedrooms and large communal areas. Instead, there's been a transition to an integrated lifestyle model, with the new home featuring more intimate spaces, visual cues such as colour, material, texture and light, improved lighting and other elements designed to enhance resident orientation and wayfinding.
Every element of the design is carefully planned out, activating spaces that are authentic and relevant. The team at Lyndoch Living assist in normalising experiences such as group dining, with smaller group numbers and a comfortable environment for these activities to ensure residents remain social.
"Research across the world has shown that caring for the elderly in smaller groups helps to reduce the stress of being in an aged care facility and enables more social interaction," Doreen said.
"At Lyndoch, our fundamental premise has always been about creating an authentic environment where our residents can live – happily, healthily and in comfort, in a way which enables them to go about their daily lives to the very best of their ability and to live a fulfilled and active life, where residents can linger as long as they like with their peers, friends and family."
"It's our top consideration that our wonderful residents live well while they are part of our community, feeling connected as an individual to Lyndoch Living and the Warrnambool community."
The new building integrates the aged care principles of familiarity, distinctiveness, accessibility, connectivity, safety and individual choice to ensure a completely comfortable experience for residents.
The design also respects personal space and the dignity of each individual, through the creation of single spacious rooms and the multiple communal spaces, providing each resident with a choice of where they'd prefer to spend time.
Residents will be able to enjoy the design philosophy of placemaking, with art, distinctive and familiar spaces, landscaping, and both intimate and larger spaces, allowing the new wing to feel like home. They will also have access to external areas for engagement with nature, and an abundance of light throughout the building.
With the design echoing the local sentiment of the sea meeting the land, the textures and colours of the building were inspired by local artisans and craftspeople, bringing to the life the essence of the region.
The new building has been designed to high standards of insulation and thermal efficiency, with rainwater capture, landscaped roofs and installation of highly efficient air conditioning and lighting.
With more than 60 years of experience in aged care in Warrnambool and South West Victoria, Lyndoch Living offers a tailored approach to retirement living through its in-home services and residential aged care facilities. From disability services, respite care and rehabilitation services, to social programs and training, Lyndoch Living provides innovative ways to constantly improve the way it cares for its residents, families, clients, staff and the community.

Iranian Boats Harass U.S. Destroyer in Persian Gulf - Meghann Myers (Navy Times)

Video: Has the Cultural Boycott of Israel Peaked? - Adam Shay (Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)
In the 2016 concert season, there is no shortage of international performers coming to Israel and virtually all categories are represented.
The South African rave-rap duo Die Antwoord, one of the hottest names around, was a prime target for BDS activity. However, the band paid little or no attention to this and once they took the stage in Tel Aviv they told the boycott activists exactly what they thought of them.
Guitar icon Carlos Santana had cancelled his performance in Israel back in 2010 when the cultural boycott was at its height. This is why Santana's recent performance in Tel Aviv was so important.
The fact that a performer of iconic status, who has in the past cancelled a performance, now feels it is safe and legitimate to return, tells us that as far as the cultural boycott is concerned, the worst may very well be behind us.
The writer is an expert on the cultural boycott of Israel.

WISE WEDNESDAY: 3 Ways to Better Understand Your Emotions
Dealing effectively with emotions is a key leadership skill. And naming our emotions — what psychologists call labeling — is an important first step in dealing with them effectively. But it's harder than it sounds; many of us struggle to identify what exactly we are feeling, and often times the most obvious label isn't actually the most accurate.
There are a variety of reasons why this is so difficult: We've been trained to believe that strong emotions should be suppressed. We have certain (sometimes unspoken) societal and organizational rules against expressing them. Or we've never learned a language to accurately describe our emotions. Consider these two examples...

This recipe is sponsored by Valley Fig Growers.
In case you didn't know it, July was National Ice Cream Month. So, in the interest of doing my part to promote this very important event, I made (and ate) a ton of delicious non-dairy ice cream throughout the entire month.
Come on, don't judge me! I'm just doing my part for the cause!
Now that August(can you even believe it) has rolled around, I'd love to share my favorite recipe for non-dairy ice cream, Twisted Fig Cashew Ice Cream Parfait with Fig and Black Walnut Granola.
It is totally drool-worthy!
Last Friday morning, I started my day off with one foot in the sand and one foot in the cool blue waters of a Carolina Beach. Time spent frolicking with my family on the Crystal Coast was memorable…and hot!
So, after chowing down on some delicious Creamy Southern-Style Chickpea Salad Sandwiches, I whipped up a batch of Cashew Ice Cream. Or, more specifically, Twisted Fig Cashew Ice Cream Parfait with Fig and Black Walnut Granola.
Though there are now lots of non-dairy ice creams on the market, few can compare with the creamy, rich layered goodness of this homemade Twisted Fig Cashew Ice Cream Parfait with Fig and Black Walnut Granola.
The base for this figgylicious treat is the ever versatile Sweet Cashew Cream. As I've previously said, Sweet Cashew Cream is like a super hero of the Vegan world. You can use it as a sauce to top pudding. You can make pie with it. Or, you can use it as a base for decadent cashew ice cream.
The flavors for Twisted Fig Cashew Ice Cream were inspired by delicious California Figs from the great folks over at Valley Fig. The figs were twisted with fresh ginger and slowly simmered to bring out all the caramel, rich flavor.
After pureeing the simmered figs, and mincing the ginger, they were folded into the Sweet Cashew Cream.
And, then (in the words of one of my sweet Aunties) I "put it in the ice cream freezer and let her rip."
While your Twisted Fig Cashew Ice Cream is doing it's thing in the freezer. Make a big batch of super versatile, super delicious Fig and Black Walnut Granola.
Like many Southerners in my neck of the woods, I grew up with a huge Black Walnut tree in my yard but I picked up these Black Walnuts at the NC State Farmer's Market . Their rich earthiness is a perfect foil for the sweetness of the figs from Valley Fig Growers. It's a food marriage made in heaven!
Believe me, this is good stuff! You can thank me later.
Twisted Fig Cashew Ice Cream Parfait with Fig and Black Walnut Granola (Dairy-Free, Egg-Free)
This is the kind of cool, sweet treat that'll have you coming back for seconds..and thirds! California Figs impart a rich caramel flavor and, when mixed with ginger and layered with Fig and Black Walnut Granola, are delightfully decadent!
Make Sweet Cashew Cream .
Fig and Black Walnut Granola (Dairy-Free, Egg-Free)
I made this Fig and Black Walnut Granola specifically for my Twisted Fig Parfait. But, it is so good that I've found myself using it for everything. It's a great topping for morning yogurt, wonderful as a topping for a Fresh Peach Strudel Pie(if you're good, I'll share the recipe with you later)or for just eating out of hand as a snack!
This recipe was inspired by a recipe found on The Peach Kitchen.
- 4 cups rolled oats (I used Bob's Red Mill because they are certified gluten-free)
- 1 cup Sunflower Seed Kernels
- 1 cup Pepita (Pumpkin Seed) Kernels
- 1/2 Cup Chia Seeds
- 1 1/2 cups Black Walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups dried Figs, coarsely chopped (I used Calimyrna Figs from Valley Fig Growers)
- 1/2 c. maple syrup
- 3/4 c. coconut oil, melted
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Combine oats and all other dry ingredients, including chopped dried figs, and chopped walnuts in a large
In another bowl, combine maple syrup and melted coconut oil.
Pour the maple syrup-oil mixture into the oats mixture and stir well until combined. Make sure all the drt mixture is completely coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on baking trays and bake for 40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes.
After 40 minutes remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Once the granola is cool, break it into smallish chunks.
This will keep in an airtight container for 7-10 days and longer if put on the fridge.

Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic sworn in as new President of Serbia
New Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was sworn in at the ceremonial session of the Assembly on Wednesday, which was attended by numerous Serbian ministers and representatives of diplomatic core, universities, army, police, and international organizations in Serbia.
President Vucic laid an oath over the Constitution of Serbia. A special copy of the Constitution was designed for the ceremony and handed to him by the Chairwoman of the Constitutional Court Vesna Ilic Prelic.
For the ceremony, a copy of Miroslav Gospel was used for the first time in addition to the Constitution. Miroslav Gospel does not only have religious significance, it is also the oldest book written in Serbian and dates back to 12th century.
"I swear that I will devote all my efforts to preserve the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia, including Kosovo and Metohija as its integral part, as well as to realize human and minority rights and freedoms, respect and defend the Constitution and laws, preserve peace and prosperity for all citizens of the Republic Serbia, and that I will conscientiously and responsibly meet all my duties," said President Vucic. The text of the oath is defined by the Constitution of Serbia.
Before the ceremony, at a special session of the Serbian Assembly, MPs noted Vucic's resignation from the position of Prime Minister. President Vucic will spend next five years in office as president of the Republic.
"As president, I promise that I will preserve peace and stability on your behalf, I will protect and defend the future of us and our children, and I will always love you and fight for your children as if they were my own," said President Vucic to his supporters gathered in front of the Assembly before the ceremony.
Part of the opposition and citizens protested against Vucic
Representatives of a part of the opposition in the Parliament protested against President Vucic's inauguration and held the banners "Not my president" and "I don't want a traitor for president."At the same time, police prevented protesters against President Vucic to come in front of the Assembly. Supporters and opponents of President Vucic clashed in one of the underground pedestrian passages in Belgrade.
Zoran Zivkovic, opposition MP from New Party, was at the scene and tried to separate the two groups.
After the initial exchange of insults, the groups parted without casualties.
President Vucic's supporters came from all over Serbia by organized transport.

Verizon on Wednesday announced it will soon carry the Motorola Edge Plus smartphone. As the latest handset from Motorola, it's a flagship experience with 5G support and its highest resolution camera yet.
The Motorola Edge Plus will retail for $41.66 a month over 24 months on Verizon Device Payment, with an all-in price of $1,000. But, because it's a brand new phone, there will be plenty of ways for prospective buyers to save money.
New Verizon customers who switch to the carrier and trade in their old phone can get up to $700 toward the handset if they sign up for Verizon Unlimited. Current subscribers are not to be left out in the cold, though, as they can also take advantage of some savings.

What Colleges Need to Know About the New Title IX Rules
The U.S. Department of Education on Wednesday announced sweeping changes in how colleges must handle sexual-assault and sexual-harassment complaints, bolstering protections for accused students and employees.
The long-awaited changes in the enforcement of Title IX, the federal gender-equity law, will require colleges to hold live hearings and allow cross-examination when adjudicating sexual-misconduct complaints. The new regulations also will narrow the scope of complaints that colleges are required to investigate. In other words, according to the federal government, Title IX covers only sexual harassment that meets its new definition: "unwelcome conduct" that is "so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to education."

The U.S. Department of Education on Wednesday announced sweeping changes in how colleges must handle sexual-assault and sexual-harassment complaints, bolstering protections for accused students and employees.
The long-awaited changes in the enforcement of Title IX, the federal gender-equity law, will require colleges to hold live hearings and allow cross-examination when adjudicating sexual-misconduct complaints. The new regulations also will narrow the scope of complaints that colleges are required to investigate. In other words, according to the federal government, Title IX covers only sexual harassment that meets its new definition: "unwelcome conduct" that is "so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to education."
The changes (summarized here and here) will take effect on August 14.
College officials have been anticipating the new rules for more than a year. Many fear that the mandates are too burdensome and could dissuade sexual-assault victims from coming forward. Victim advocates worry that less oversight from the federal government could squander campuses' progress in curbing sexual violence. But due-process supporters, who say Obama-era federal guidelines unfairly railroaded accused students, hailed the new rules when they were proposed, in 2018.
The final rules were released at a chaotic time. The American Council on Education in March asked Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to delay the regulations until the Covid-19 pandemic had passed. Eighteen states' attorneys general and several survivor-advocacy groups echoed that call.
"At a time when institutional resources already are stretched thin, colleges and universities should not be asked to divert precious resources away from more critical efforts in order to implement regulations unrelated to this extraordinary crisis," ACE said.
In a news conference on Wednesday, DeVos said she didn't want to delay the rules' release because Title IX cases are being decided even in the midst of the pandemic. "Civil rights really can't wait," she said. "It's not a surprise to institutions that it was coming."
Because colleges have moved classes online due to Covid-19, DeVos said, "it's actually an ideal time for campus administrators to begin implementing this when students are not on college campuses."
In addition to navigating the financial and other uncertainties brought on by the pandemic, administrators now must turn their attention to reshaping campus sexual-misconduct policies.
ACE called the August 14 mandate to comply with the new regulations "cruel" and "counterproductive" on Wednesday. "Choosing this moment to impose the most complex and challenging regulations the agency has ever issued reflects appallingly poor judgment," ACE said.
The new Title IX rules include several notable provisions:
- Colleges can raise the bar for what constitutes a violation of campus policy and, therefore, merits punishment. For years, the federal government told institutions to use a preponderance-of-evidence standard, or "more likely than not," to determine whether a sexual assault had occurred. The new regulations permit colleges to use "clear and convincing," a standard that is harder to reach.
- Colleges no longer have to designate most employees as "mandatory reporters." Typically, mandatory-reporting policies require faculty and staff members to tell the campus Title IX office when they hear about potential allegations.
- Colleges can no longer use the common single-investigator model, in which an investigator writes a report and recommends a finding, but no hearing takes place.
- The narrower definition of harassment also explicitly covers domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, a change from the proposed regulations.
- Colleges must investigate off-campus sexual misconduct that occurs in educational activities, such as college-owned buildings and college-sponsored trips, but not in off-campus apartments or during study abroad. Fraternity houses are considered educational programs if they are recognized by the institution, according to the department.
- In hearings, students can never cross-examine each other personally. Colleges must ensure that both parties have an adviser who will pose questions on their behalf. The adviser doesn't need to be a lawyer. Still, campus officials have worried that they would have to hire lawyers for students who couldn't afford them.
- Institutions may hold Title IX hearings via videoconference. Given that campuses are operating mostly online, many administrators have considered delaying hearings until after the pandemic is over.
The regulations cap a decade of sharp change in how colleges handle complaints of sexual harassment and assault. As student movements galvanized support for victims, the Obama administration made the issue a priority starting in 2011, when the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights issued a "Dear Colleague" letter to higher-education institutions with a clear message: The federal government would start holding colleges accountable for mishandling complaints.
The office, known as OCR, opened investigations into hundreds of colleges as they hastened to create new infrastructure for dealing with complaints. Some institutions have since hired a dozen or more people to staff their Title IX offices.
But within a couple of years, critics began sounding alarms. In an attempt to take victims' complaints more seriously, administrators had overstepped, the critics said, suspending or expelling students for sexual contact that occurred when everyone involved was drunk and incapable of clearly remembering what had happened.
Due-process advocacy groups, including Families Advocating for Campus Equality, formed to defend students who said they'd been falsely accused. Prominent law professors joined the chorus calling for fairer processes.
When DeVos took office, in 2017, she listened to those critics. In September of that year, she withdrew the Obama-era guidelines, issued interim guidance, and announced that her department would craft new Title IX regulations.
The Advent of Cross-Examination
Many colleges — mostly public institutions, which must meet constitutional due-process standards — already hold Title IX hearings. But most do not permit cross-examination, in which the accused questions the accuser's version of events, either directly or through an adviser. Cross-examination was discouraged by the Obama administration because advocates for sexual-assault victims said it could be traumatizing and could dissuade people from coming forward. Critics also worried that cross-examination would offer advantages to students rich enough to hire lawyers.
Public colleges in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee have already started cross-examinations in Title IX hearings, due to a 2018 court mandate. The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where accused students now directly cross-examine accusers, received roughly the same number of reports of sexual assault and harassment in 2019, the year cross-examination began, as in 2018.
But according to a university report, far fewer students chose to pursue formal Title IX investigations, instead opting for an informal resolution process that doesn't mete out punishments to accused students.
Under that informal process, the accused student often apologizes to the complainant and completes an educational program, among other consequences, but is not suspended or expelled.
Jeff Nolan, a Title IX lawyer who advises colleges, predicted that many colleges would stay the course. Administrators probably aren't going to dismiss a sexual-misconduct report just because it doesn't meet the new federal definition, he said. But Title IX hearings will be a huge resource drain for many institutions at a time when money is already tight, he said.
During the Obama administration, the federal civil-rights office made clear that colleges had an obligation to investigate low-level sexual-misconduct issues before they escalated into something more serious, Nolan said, and that's no longer the case.
Under the new Title IX rules, if one student alleged that another committed unwanted sexual touching in an off-campus apartment, for instance, the incident would not be considered a Title IX matter if it happened only once and didn't occur in the context of an educational activity.
Or say a professor made sexual comments to students. Unless the conduct was repeated, directed at a specific person, or prevented students from going to class, it also would not be covered under Title IX, Nolan said. Some such offenses would still be covered, he said, under the Clery Act, the campus-safety law.

Cyclone Dineo has passed, but above average rain is still expected for most of Southern Africa in the next few days.
"Heavy rainfall looks like it will be a big story again for the outlook period between 23 February and 1 March. Enhanced rain, possibly more than 100mm is forecast for Zimbabwe, southern Botswana, Zambia, Malawi and southern Tanzania. This was according to the latest Africa Hazard Outlook (AHO) released by the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
However, rainfall in southern Mozambique and South Africa should let up.
Soil saturated by continuous rain since December, increases the risk of flooding, due to greater runoff.
Weekend planning
According to the weekly forecast from the Climate Prediction Centre at the NOAA moderate rainfall can be expected over the weekend until 28 February.
Central South Africa, southern Zimbabwe, and central and north western Zambia can expect rain of more than 50mm during this time.
Drier conditions are forecast for the rest of South Africa, and the western parts of Botswana.
Above average rainfall
After Cyclone Dineo made landfall last week there was heavy rain, with 100mm recorded in the South African and Zimbabwean interior.
According to AHO the persistent rainfall that has fallen in the last 30 days, has led record rain for many parts of Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa and southern Mozambique.
"Many areas of Botswana, Zimbabwe, southern Mozambique and South Africa have observed more than twice their normal totals for the period," said the AHO in a statement.

Mark Knight, who is known for releasing high-quality club records, has returned to his roots, recreating the sounds and records that helped him become the DJ he is today. 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright' is an instant hit from his extensive collection of classic Funk, House, Soul, and Disco records from the 1970s and 1980s. As a result of Mark's authentic production aesthetic, the tune is brimming with nostalgic moments.
On Friday, I release the first single from my debut album. I wanted to write a song of hope as we come out of this incredibly tough time. I feel that musicians and producers have a responsibility to provide the soundtrack to people's lives, and with this glimmer of hope on the horizon, I wanted this song to be a moment of positivity for the future ahead. From a string section, to the 14-piece London Community Gospel Choir, to the incomparably brilliant Beverley Knight on lead vocals – I worked with some incredible musicians on this record. It was a mammoth production, but something I wanted to do that would last the test of time. 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright': The next single from my forthcoming album 'Untold Business' dropping this June. – Mark Knight

Germany has to agreed to pay Namibia €1.1bn (£940m) as it officially recognised the Herero-Nama genocide at the start of the 20th century, in what Angela Merkel's government says amounts to a gesture of reconciliation but not legally binding reparations.
Tens of thousands of men, women and children were shot, tortured or driven into the Kalahari desert to starve by German troops between 1904 and 1908 after the Herero and Nama tribes rebelled against colonial rule in what was then named German South West Africa and is now Namibia.
Since 2015, Germany has negotiated with the Namibian government over what it calls an attempt to "heal the wounds" of historic violence.
"Our aim was and is to find a joint path to genuine reconciliation in remembrance of the victims," the German foreign minister, Heiko Maas, said in a statement. "That includes our naming the events of the German colonial era in today's Namibia, and particularly the atrocities between 1904 and 1908, unsparingly and without euphemisms.
"We will now officially call these events what they were from today's perspective: a genocide."
On Thursday, official circles in Berlin confirmed reports in Namibian media that after nine rounds of negotiations the two sides had settled on the text of a joint declaration and a sum of €1.1bn, which will be paid separately to existing aid programmes over 30 years.
Of the overall sum, more than a billion euros will go towards projects relating to land reform, rural infrastructure, water supply and professional training. Communities of Herero and Nama descendants, which form ethnic minorities in all of the seven affected regions, are meant to be involved in the development of the specific projects.
Some €50m will go towards setting up a foundation for reconciliation between the two states, including cultural projects and youth exchange programmes.
The text of the joint declaration calls the atrocities committed by German troops a "genocide" but omits the words "reparations" or "compensation" – a move borne out of fear that such language could set a legal precedent for similar claims from other nations.
A spokesman for the Namibian president, Hage Geingob, described German's acknowledgment of genocide "as the first step" in the right direction. "It is the basis for the second step, which is an apology, to be followed by reparations," the spokesman said.
Some of the numerous groups that make up the descendants of the genocide's survivors have been critical of the framing of the negotiations from the outset and have declined to back the Namibian government's stance.
Paramount chief Vekuii Rukoro, leader of the Ovaherero Traditional Authority, has criticised his government for not insisting on financial reparations: "When German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier comes to Namibia to render the apology we will embarrass him," he told local media.
Namibian newspaper New Era reported on Thursday that at least three traditional leaders who had supported the government's negotiations up to this point had refused to endorse the final wording of the declaration, which could make it difficult for President Hage Geingob to sign the deal.
The German side's position is that it has negotiated the agreement with a Namibian government representing the country's population as a whole, and that the deal does not stand or fall on the approval of Herero and Name descendants groups.
