Perhaps we are silent because its none of our business, and we don't think so highly of our own myopic values we wish to push them on others. Canada has a long, long history or chastising the United States for interferring in foreign affairs yet somehow we are different due to our passive aggressive addiction to self congratulaton. We choose not to criticize China who has a long record of human rights abuses and misuses, but I guess we don't need Poland as much as we need China.

Everywhere in the world, in and out of the country, members of PERSON's administration have to introduce themselves by saying PERSON doesn't really mean what PERSON continually and incessently actually does mean. PERSON says something, those around him give several different versions of how he meant just the opposite, immediately followed by PERSON repeating what everyone just said he didn't or wouldn't say. Fun times for the people doing PERSON's work. Takes a certain kind of person to keep up the affectations, people with no scruples whatsoever. Challenging yet immoral and wrong.

"Replacing Mr. PERSON – a leader with a deeply independent streak who inspired fierce loyalty at the FBI – will be a tall order." I don't think this is an accurate statement. I think the regular FBI agents were disappointed, maybe even ashamed with PERSON, with the way he handled the PERSON e-mail investigation... the FBI never did interview PERSON, they gave immunity to several of her associates and allowed them to destroy their hard drives, and basically let everyone off scot-free. PERSON has a history with the PERSONs and The PERSON Foundation, which no doubt had an influence on his handling of the e-mail investigation. I just can't figure out why he publicly commented on the PERSON e-mails on PERSON laptop... that seems out of character. Anyway... PERSON should have fired him on day one.

1) In the 1990s I was in conversation with various religious women from Ireland, several African countries, the Philippines and India (different provinces). It became quite clear to me as I listened to their stories that the elephant in the room was clerical (and often women religious) abuse of power with the vulnerable (not only minors and female). Little has changed. Those who are abused (or their carers) need to go directly to the police as soon as possible. And they need professional advocates to protect them from institutional abuse by clergy, church communities and the police... all of whom have a history of abusing the vulnerable - a history and practice that is often unrecognised by the perpetrators as it is so 'normal'. continued...

Agree. It seems that the parents are under the impression that by keeping the child alive on a ventilator that somehow he is going to be able to be removed and become whole. It is they who need to come to terms with the terrible disease that is taking their son from them and let him rest in peace. In my opinion, they are the ones committing abuse by letting this child exist, but never live. If they truly loved him, they would set him free. What they are doing is selfish and in no way in the best interest of the child. You can also bet that if they had to pay for the care, they would not sell everything they have and then some, to pay to keep him alive. Health care, at some point, has to be realistic in that millions of dollars cannot (and never should have been) spent on anyone who obviously has no chance at functioning, ever, no matter how long they are kept alive by a machine. This isn't playing God, but keeping them on life support certainly is.

Flavor is the sensory impression of food or other substance, and is determined primarily by the chemical senses of taste and smell. A chemical is a compound or substance that has been purified or prepared, especially artificially. Flavoring for use in vapor products varies as far as the make up goes but is often organic, GMO free, etc. Premium e-Juice lines often use chefs to prepare the flavors and they're made in pharmaceutical and food grade labs. You just have to know your product and certainly don't rely on house juice as the mix can vary from batch to batch. Connoisseurs of vapor products are very careful which companies they purchase from and often have a good relationship with the shop or manufacturer. I've been vaping for a year and know many people in the industry.

The traditional form of higher ed is indeed obsolete. Higher ed fully integrated into the information age is important. With a few exceptions, internet classes can supplant in-person classes. If we had only 5 face-to-face schools with the lectures from each made internet accessible, we could provide education at much lower cost. Of course, we would disemploy many many college profs and the special interest they comprise will fight to the death to prevent radical productive innovation. Learning primarily occurs while doing. Interactive instruction/question software could provide better tutoring than available in traditional colleges. Rankings? Good for the top, bad for the bottom.

Actions speak louder than words. If religion remains locked in the culture of male dominionism, which i believe our Roman Catholic Church is, this identifies the roadblock we have yet to get 'beyond'. My sense is, we have a long way to go yet. What i find encouraging is the realization that if we get science wrong, it's likely we get religion wrong. Religion is beginning to give science its deserved standing in our conscious sense. The Creator is still creating; we are yet an unfinished agency/ agendum of The Divine in Creation - the Naturalis Sacramentum Ordinis.

A hash tag has never done anyone any good ever. If there were a 'solution', a formula for successful entrepreneurs we would have found it. This is not STEM gender issue from what I can see. Engineering programs often have 50%+ women but they choose other fields like Industrial or Chemical. That is a matter of choice not access. I suspect the founder gap is a lifestyle issue. People pursue MBAs and found companies at about the same life stage. There are many MBA scholarship opportunities for women but programs struggle to attract anywhere near 50% women applicants. Most successful founders come from industry not dorm rooms. They spot an opportunity, take a leap and start a company. These moves are big risks and it comes up against a lot of hard life choices like buying houses, kids, etc. Support from spouses would help. Mentoring from leaders could help. Gov. funded 'entrepreneurship training' , press releases.. this stuff is more bark than bite.

I was there for Team Spirit '88. The KATUSAs I met would have been too high in the Korean society to have been assigned to your kind of duty. Even though they are supposed to be selected in a lottery type system, too many had some college education to not be from the upper echelons of society.

These people built Microsoft Word, Excel, SQL Server, and all the variants of Windows. Then, PERSON made them rich. With so little tax, that by one count, 10,000 people never had to work again.

DACA recipients should pay, in full, all tax money used for them in public school each year they were in school here. Then they could apply for DACA. As for jobs and DACA, just like with work visas, only after all jobs have been offered to Americans. As with diplomats, any child born to DACA should not be eligible for US citizenship. Any conviction for a misdemeanor or higher, deportation in 24 hours. And finally-no taxpayer subsidized programs should be allowed in use with DACA recipients.

night would be especially dangerous.. day or night, they should always yield and a lit up patrol car should have been trailing them, or even an odot sign truck the whole time. i'm hoping they needed some permit to do this.
