In debates about defense spending and foreign policy, Democrats have failed to deliver on climate. The depth and scope of the IRA's approach to confronting climate change is unparalleled. Yet 180 House Democrats voted for the bill, which expanded our budget for conducting a polluting, militaristic foreign policy to nearly $850 billion. US foreign policy, militarism, and climate policy must go together. The national security community is acutely aware of the effects of climate change — they've been thinking, planning, and gaming out scenarios since the late 2000s.

All of these changes mean that the class of 2022 will need to rethink traditional college admissions advice. Many schools, including the University of California system (the largest public university system in the country), have stopped accepting standardized test scores at all, becoming fully test-blind. "Admissions counselors are human and if 100 kids say the same thing we can get a little tired of mundane stories. He says students should avoid writing essays that could be written by someone else. And often, students who are a little bit more well-lopsided, or angular, fare better in the admissions process," he says.

Am încercat să rămân cu amândoi cât mai mult, dar fetiţa a fost luată de curent şi a trebuit să înot după ea." Băiatul a înotat mai bine de o oră, iar când a ajuns la ţărm, acesta a fugit la cea mai apropiată casă după ajutor.

☆ One millionaire landlord was behind half of Milwaukee's evictions during Covid lockdowns last June. Here's the story of how corporate landlords helped drive the evictions crisis
▼ + stars: | 2021-03-26 | by ( Abigail Higgins | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +23 min

Corporate landlords in cities like Milwaukee helped drive an evictions crisis during the pandemic. Corporate landlords, which own almost 50% of rental properties, are more likely to evict, advocates say. Before the 2008 recession, corporate landlords owned 20% of rental properties; today, it's nearing a whopping 50%. Since the Center for Disease Control's evictions moratorium took effect last September, evictions by corporate landlords have actually been steadily increasing. There is no national database of evictions, and evictions are only tracked at the level of the country's more than 3,000 counties.

Conform unei zicători importate, o mireasă ar trebui să aibă la nuntă „ceva nou, ceva vechi, ceva împrumutat și ceva albastru”. O mireasă din Pennsylvania s-a descurcat perfect la capitolul ceva vechi, ea urmând să poarte la nuntă o rochie de 120 de ani. Abigail Kingston va fi a 11-a mireasă care îmbracă aceeași rochie moștenită din generație în generație în familia sa, scrie Bored PandaPrima care a purtat-o a fost Mary Lowry Warren, care s-a căsătorit în 1895. Ultima, până la Abigail, a fost mama ei, Leslie Kingston, căsătorită în 1991. Abigail însăși afirmă că a considerat că rochia e o „cauză pierdută”, necrezând că există vreo cale de a fi îmbrăcată.
