WHAT ARE TECTONIC PLATES?
The outermost layer of the earth is called the crust and it is broken into large pieces called tectonic plates. These huge pieces of Earth's surface slowly move at about the speed that your fingernails grow. Their movement form mountains, causes earthquakes and they even rearrange the position of continents.

To better understand tectonic plates…
LET'S BREAK IT DOWN!
Movement of tectonic plates is powered by convection.
Rock in the earth is still extremely hot and it can slowly circulate inside the earth through convection, the process of warm fluids rising and cooler fluids sinking. This slow movement of hot rock inside the earth is what powers the movement of tectonic plates at the surface. Scientists believe tectonic plates move from 2-15 cm a year.

There are 3 main types of plate boundaries.
Areas where the plates meet are called boundaries. The first type of plate boundary is called a convergent boundary. This is when two plates are moving toward each other. The second type is called a divergent boundary. This is when plates are moving away from each other. The third plate boundary type is a transform boundary. This is when tectonic plates are sliding past each other.

Continental drift is supported by scientific evidence.
When Alfred Wegner first proposed the idea that a continent could move across an ocean, people thought he was crazy. He needed evidence such as fossils found on different continents, the matching shapes of the continents, rock evidence from different continents that match and the mechanism of tectonic plate movement. This theory is widely accepted due to the many kinds of evidence that support it.

The Ring of Fire is caused by tectonic plates.
The Ring of Fire is a term given to a circular region on a world map that has a lot of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. When compared to a map of tectonic plates, this Ring of Fire lines up almost perfectly. This supports the idea that plate movement causes earthquakes and volcanos. Scientists who study these events use data from plate movements to help make predictions about future earthquakes or eruptions.

Scientists called seismologists study plate tectonics.
There are more than 20,000 earthquakes that happen on Earth every year. Seismologists collect and analyze data such as the size, location and depth of earthquakes. They use this data to predict where more earthquakes could strike. One special tool they use is called a seismograph. Volcanologists and geologists also study plate tectonics.

TECTONIC PLATES VOCABULARY
Earth's Crust
The outer most layer of the Earth. This is the layer we walk on.
Slowly moving pieces of Earth's crust.
Movement caused by warm fluids rising and cooler fluids sinking.
A boundary of two tectonic plates where the plates move away from each other.
Convergent Boundary
A boundary of two tectonic plates where the plates move towards each other.
Transform Boundary
A boundary of two tectonic plates where the plates slide past each other.
Subduction
When one tectonic plate converges under another due to density differences.
When two tectonic plates slowly crash into each other and mountains are formed.
The name given to the super continent from the well-supported theory that all the continents used to be connected as one.
Seismologist
A scientist who studies earthquakes.
TECTONIC PLATES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Describe the layers of the Earth.
The Earth's crust is the top layer. Next comes the mantle which is made of hot solid rock that can move very slowly over years. The inner-most layer is the core. The core is the hottest but is a solid due to being made mostly of iron and nickel under intense pressure from all the rock above it.
Describe the 3 main kinds of plate boundaries.
Convergent boundaries are where boundaries move towards each other. Divergent boundaries are when plates move apart. Transform boundaries are when plates slide past each other.
What is Pangea?
Pangea is a super continent predicted by the theory of continental drift. Scientists believe that about 240 million years ago all the continents were one large one called Pangea. The land of Pangea then broke apart due to tectonic plate movement and moved over millions of years. This idea is well supported by multiple lines of evidence.
What is subduction and what causes it?
Subduction occurs when two plates converge, and one slides under the other. This is common when continental plates meet oceanic plates. Because the oceanic plate is denser, it slides under the continental plate.
What is uplift and what causes it?
Uplift occurs when two plates converge and force land upwards creating mountains. The best example of this is the Himalayan Mountains. These huge mountains were formed by the Indian plate and Eurasian plate converging over more than 50 million years.
How does convection work and how does it move tectonic plates?
Convection is the process of warm fluids rising and cooler fluids sinking. Inside the Earth, convection is powered by heat mostly from the core. The slow circulation of rock in the mantle moves the tectonic plates at the surface.

; 1722–?) – physician [vol. 7, p. 34]
Brocklesby, Richard
, an eminent English physician, the son of Richard Brocklesby, est}. of the city of Cork, by Mary Alloway, of Minehead, Somersetshire, was born at Minehead, where his mother happened to be on a visit to her parents, Aug. 11, 1722. There he remained until he was three years old, at which time he was carried to Ireland, and privately instructed for some years in his father's house at Cork. At a proper age he was sent to Ballytore school in the north of Ireland, at which Edmund Burke "was educated, and although they were not exactly contemporaries^ Dr. Brocklesby being seven years older, this circumstance led to a long and strict friendship. Having finished his classical education at Ballytore, with diligence and success, his father, intending him for a physician, sent him to Edinburgh, where after continuing the usual time, he went to Leyden, and took his degree under | the celebrated Gaubius, who corresponded with him for several years afterwards. His diploma is dated June 28, 1745, and the same year he published his thesis," De Saliva sana et morbosa."
On returning home he began practice in Broad-street, London; and diligence, integrity, and œconomy, soon enabled him to surmount the difficulties which a young physician has to encounter, while his father assisted him with 150l. a year, a liberal allowance at that time. In 1746, he published "An Essay concerning the mortality of the horned cattle:" and in April, 1751, was admitted a licentiate of the college of physicians. He had by this time risen into reputation; and as his manners were naturally mild and conciliating, his knowledge well-founded, and his talents somewhat known as an author, he soon became acquainted with the leading men in the profession particularly the celebrated Dr. Mead, Dr. Leatherland, Dr. Heberden, sir George Baker, &c. He added another testimony to the fame of Dr. Mead, by always praising his skill, his learning, urbanity, &c. and amongst many other anecdotes of this extraordinary man, used to relate the circumstance of his giving that celebrated impostor, Psalmanazar, an opportunity of eating nearly a pound of raw human flesh at his table, to prove that this was the constant food of the inhabitants of Formosa .*
Amongst many other impositions of Psalmanazar, he related that the inhabitants of Formosa constantly ate human flesh, of which he as frequently partook, and which he called "delicious eating." Dr. Mead, to try him, obtained a pound of human flesh of one of the dissecting surgeons of the hospital from the posteriors of a man who had been hanged that morning, which he had served up at his table, and which Psalmanazar actually ate, seemingly with a good liking, before a large party selected for that purpose. p 2
On the 28th of September 1754, he obtained an honorary degree from the university of Dublin, and was admitted to Cambridge ad eundem the 16th of December following. In virtue of this degree at Cambridge, he became a fellow of the college of London the 25th of June 1756; and, on the 7th of October 1758 (on the recommendation of Dr. Shaw, favoured by the patronage of the late lord Barrington), he was appointed physician to the army. In this capacity he attended in Germany the best part of what is called "the seven years' war," where he was soon distinguished by his knowledge, his zeal, and humanity; and particularly recommended himself to the notice of his grace the duke of Richmond, the late lord Pembroke, and | others, which with the former mellowed into a friendship, only terminated by the doctor's life. On the 27th of October 1760, he was appointed physician to the hospitals for the British forces, and returned to England some time before the peace of 1763.
On his return he settled in Norfolk-street, in the Strand, where he was considered as a physician of very extensive experience, particularly in all diseases incident to the army. His practice spread in proportion to his reputation; and, with his half-pay, and an estate of about six hundred pounds per year, which devolved on him by the death of his father, he was now enabled to live in a very handsome manner, and his table was frequently filled with some of the most distinguished persons for rank, learning, and abilities in the kingdom. In the course of his practice, his advice as well as his purse was ever accessible to the poor, as well as to men of merit who stood in need of either. Besides giving his advice to the poor of all descriptions, which he did with an active and unwearied benevolence, he had always upon his list two or three poor widows, to whom he granted small annuities; and who, on the quarter day of receiving their stipends, always partook of the hospitalities of his table. To his relations who wanted his assistance in their business or professions, he was not only liberal, but so judicious in his liberalities as to supersede the necessity of a repetition of them. To his friend Dr. Johnson (when it was in agitation amongst his friends to procure an enlargement of his pension, the better to enable him to travel for the benefit of his health), he offered an establishment of one hundred pounds per year during his life: and, upon doctor Johnson's declining it (which he did in the most affectionate terms of gratitude and friendship), he made him a second offer of apartments in his own house, for the more immediate benefit of medical advice. To his old and intimate friend Edmund Burke, he had many years back bequeathed by will the sum of one thousand pounds; but recollecting that this event might take place (which it afterwards did) when such a legacy could be of no service to him, he, with that judicious liberality for which he was always distinguished, gave it to him in advance, "ut pignus arnicitite;" it was accepted as such by Mr. Burke, accompanied with a letter, which none but a man feeling the grandeur and purity of friendship like him, could dictate. | Passing through a life thus honourably occupied in the liberal pursuits of his profession, and in the confidence and friendship of some of the first characters of the age for rank or literary attainments, the doctor reached his 73d year; and finding those infirmities, generally attached to that time of life, increase upon him, he gave up a good deal of the bustle of business, as well as his half-pay, on being appointed, by his old friend and patron the duke of Richmond, physician general to the royal regiment of artillery and corps of engineers, March, 1794. This was a situation exactly suited to his time of life and inclinations; hence he employed his time in occasional trips to Woolwich, with visits to his friends and patients. In this last list he never forgot either the poor or those few friends whom he early attended as a medical man gratuitously. Scarcely any distance, or any other inconvenience, could repress this benevolent custom; and when he heard by accident that any of this latter description of his friends were ill, and had through delicacy abstained from sending for him, he used to say, somewhat peevishly, "Why am I treated thus? Why was not I sent for?"
Though debilitated beyond his years, particularly for a man of his constant exercise and abstemious and regular manner of living, he kept up his acquaintance and friendships to the last, and in a degree partook of the pleasantries and convivialities of the table. The friends, who knew his habits, sometimes indulged him with a nap in his arm chair after dinner, which greatly refreshed him: he then would turn about to the company, and pay his club of the conversation, either by anecdote or observation, entirely free from the laws or severities of old age.
In the beginning of December 1797, he set out on a visit to Mrs. Burke, at Beaconsfield, the long frequented seat of friendship and hospitality, where the master spirit of the age he lived in, as well as the master of that mansion, had so often adorned, enlivened, and improved the convivial hour. On proposing this journey, and under so infirm a state as he was in, it was hinted by a friend, whether such a length of way, or the lying out of his own bed, with other little circumstances, might not fatigue him too much: he instantly caught the force of this suggestion, and with his usual placidity replied, "My good friend, I perfectly understand your hint, and am thankful to you for it; but where's the difference whether I die at a friend's | house, at an inn, or in a post-chaise? I hope I'm every way prepared for such an event, and perhaps it would be as well to elude the expectation of it." He therefore began his journey the next day, and arrived there the same evening, where he was cordially received by the amiable mistress of the mansion, as well as by doctors Lawrence and King, who happened to be there on a visit. He remained at Beaconsfield 'till the llth of December, but recollecting that his learned nephew, Dr. Young, now foreign secretary to the royal society, was to return from Cambridge to London next day, he instantly set out for his house in town, where he ate his last dinner with his nearest friends and relations, About nine o'clock he desired to go to bed, but going up stairs fatigued him so much, that he was obliged to sit in his chair for some time before he felt himself sufficiently at ease to be undressed. In a little time, however, he recovered himself; and, as they were unbuttoning his waistcoat, he said to his elder nephew, "What an idle piece of ceremony this buttoning and unbuttoning is to me now!" When he got to bed he seemed perfectly composed, but in about five minutes after, expired with* out a groan.
He was interred Dec. 18, in the church-yard of St. Cle^ jnent Danes, in a private manner, according to his request. His fortune, amounting to near 30,000l. after a few legacies to friends and distant relations, was divided between his two nephews, Robert Beeby, esq. and Dr. Thomas Young. The preceding facts may be sufficient to illustrate Dr. Brocklesby's character. His future fame as a writer must rest on his publications, of which the following is, we believe, a correct list: 1. "Dissertatio Inaug. de Saliva Sanaet Morbosa," Lug. Bat. 1745, 4to. 2. "An Essay concerning the Mortality of the Horned Cattle," 1746, 8vo. 3. "Eulogium Medicum, sive Oratio Anniyersaria Harveiana habita in Theatris Collegii Regal is Me-? dicorum Londinensium, Die xviii Octobris," 1760, 4to. 4. "Œconomical and Medical Observations from 1738 to 1763, tending to the improvement of Medical Hospitals," 1764, 8vo. 5. "An Account of the poisonous root lately found mixed with Gentian," Phil. Trans. N. 486. 6. "Case of a Lady labouring under a Diabetes," Med. Observ. No. III. 7. "Experiments relative to the Analysis and Virtues of Seltzer Water," ibid. vol. IV. 8. "Case of an Encysted Tumour in the Orbit of the Eye, cured by Messrs, Bromfield and Ingram," ibid. 9. "A | Dissertation on the Music of the Antients." We do not know the date of this last article, but believe it to be amongst his early literary amusements. When Dr. Young was at Leyden, a professor, understanding he was a nephew of Dr. Brocklesby's, shewed him a translation of it in the German language. 1

During the announcement of President Russell M. Nelson as the 17th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Tuesday January 16, 2018, I eagerly anticipated his first message to church members. Through the guidance and inspiration of the Lord, what will President Nelson's focus be during his administration?
Ready to move ahead as a new First Presidency, President Nelson, supported by counselors President Dallin H. Oaks and President Henry B. Eyring, shared thoughts on the present issues and areas of emphasis in the Church.
President Nelson reiterated the doctrine that Jesus Christ stands at the head of His church and that this is His gospel. In April, all church members sustained President Nelson "...as a prophet, seer, and revelator--the only person on the earth who receives revelation to guide the entire church." (True to the Faith pg 129) The pattern of God revealing His gospel through prophets has existed since the days of Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses and was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith.
The covenant path is filled with opportunities for spiritual growth, inspired understanding of our purpose here in mortality, and knowledge of important truths about eternal life. "Your commitment to follow the Savior by making covenants with Him and then keeping those covenants, will open the door to every spiritual privilege and blessing available to women, men, and children everywhere," (Viewpoint: Stay on—or Return to—the Covenant Path) Elder Nelson said.
President Nelson expressed his feelings for members of the Church President Nelson has served as an apostle for nearly 34 years. He has traveled the world, having visited members in approximately 133 of the estimated 188 nations on earth. "A well-educated person never stops learning," President Nelson said. Since the last general conference in October 2017, President Nelson and his wife, Wendy, have been in 10 countries in three different continents.
President Nelson also provided his counselors with an opportunity to share a message during the historic proceeding at the Salt Lake Temple.
"With all my heart, I pledge my loyalty and support for President Nelson's loving and inspired leadership. I rejoice in the opportunity to give my full efforts to bear witness of Jesus Christ and to proclaim the truth of His restored Gospel." President Oaks said.
Canada's 195,180 members meet in 494 congregations, worship in numerous chapels, and perform saving ordinances in eight (soon to be nine) temples. As we place our trust in our new First Presidency, exercising faith in Jesus Christ is central to accomplishing President Nelson's admonition to "Keep on the covenant path." Faith requires righteousness and righteousness leads to good works. "I give you my assurance that regardless of the world's condition and your personal circumstances, you can face the future with optimism and joy if you have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His gospel," President Nelson said.
Faith inspires covenant keeping actions including prayer with real intent, daily scripture study, maintaining an active temple recommend, attending the temple as often as possible, partaking of the sacrament worthily, and faithful service. Uniquely qualified and divinely prepared for his role as a latter-day prophet, President Nelson feels a responsibility to teach the commandments of God, and he reiterates the ordinances and covenants of the temple are the key to happiness and weathering trouble.


WASHINGTON, D.C. – Michigan Governor Richard Snyder and Attorney General Bill Schuette have sided with the student group InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in its fight to continue serving its campus community, stating that Michigan universities must respect the rights of religious student groups to choose their own leaders. The announcement comes as a blow to Detroit-based Wayne State University in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship v. Wayne State University, where the University claims InterVarsity cannot choose leaders who agree with its faith, even though the University lets more than 90 other student groups choose their leaders.
In March, after being kicked out by Wayne State, InterVarsity sued the University as well as the Michigan Attorney General and Governor to defend its right to remain a part of the campus community it has served for over 75 years. Since the Attorney General and Governor have now acknowledged that state universities may not punish religious student groups for selecting religious leaders, InterVarsity late yesterday dropped its lawsuit against them.
InterVarsity welcomes all students to join as members and only requires that its leaders agree with its faith. But in late 2017, Wayne State kicked the group off campus, canceled the group's reserved meetings, and forced it to pay thousands to continue holding Bible studies on campus—all because it disagreed with InterVarsity's leadership requirement. After the student group filed a lawsuit, represented by Becket, the University let the group back on campus. But the University is now asking the court for the power to keep its old, discriminatory policy. The court is set to decide soon whether Wayne State violated InterVarsity's rights.

Amtrak�??s For-Profit Regulation
In 1906, Leonor Loree, an accomplished railroad executive, examined the dilapidated Kansas City Southern Railroad that he had been hired to rehabilitate.
In 1906, Leonor Loree, an accomplished railroad executive, examined the dilapidated Kansas City Southern Railroad that he had been hired to rehabilitate. Dismayed, he permanently enriched American slang by exclaiming: �??This is a helluva way to run a railroad!�?� Judge Janice Rogers Brown of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the nation�??s second-most important court, recently said, with judicial decorousness, essentially the same thing about Amtrak.
She was not referring to its 46 consecutive years of operating losses, which include $306 million last year, and more than $16 billion since 1970, when Congress created Amtrak as a federally chartered, for-profit corporation. Rather, Brown was referring to how Congress, by piling �??anomaly on top of anomaly,�?� has made Amtrak into a �??wholly unique statutory creature�?� �?? one empowered to regulate its competitors. Amtrak illustrates the administrative state�??s routine drift into constitutional impropriety.
In 2008, Congress passed the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA), which endowed Amtrak with the powers of a regulatory agency that makes decisions, in conjunction with the Transportation Department, about scheduling, uses of available tracks, maintenance and other metrics and standards that compel certain behavior by the entire U.S. rail industry. Freight rail entities, which actually are private, understandably objected, and the D.C. Circuit agreed with them that PRIIA was an unconstitutional delegation of governmental regulatory power to a private entity.
In 2015, however, the Supreme Court issued a through-the-looking-glass ruling worthy of Lewis Carroll�??s Humpty Dumpty (�??When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean �?? neither more nor less�?�). The court acknowledged that Congress has designated Amtrak a private corporation directed to maximize revenue in order to minimize the need for government subsidies. So, Amtrak is required to be self-interested. Yet the court held that because Amtrak is indirectly controlled by Congress, however remotely, it can also be considered a government entity.
Passive courts, accommodating the administrative state�??s activities, are permissive about agencies�?? regulatory behavior that blurs the line between legislation and regulation. But the Supreme Court returned the freight operators�?? challenge to the D.C. Circuit for answers to some remaining questions, including this one implicating the Fifth Amendment�??s due-process guarantee: May an economically self-interested entity exercise regulatory authority over competitors?
Writing for a unanimous three-judge panel, Brown rejected �??a simple way to resolve this case,�?� refusing to adopt the naive hypothesis that �??Amtrak�??s political accountability �?? remote as it is �?? removes the taint of any potential for bias.�?� Instead, Brown wrote: �??Our Constitution�??s ingenious system of checks and balances assumes government officials will act self-interestedly.�?� She cited Alexander Hamilton from the first Federalist Paper: It would be nice if government officials�?? decisions would always be �??unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good,�?� but this is something �??more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected.�?�
Regarding Amtrak, Brown noted, �??Congress delegated its legislative power to an entity that it designed to be the opposite of �??presumptively disinterested.�?? �?� Among the chief concerns of the framers of the Constitution �??were questions of who should be permitted to exercise the awesome and coercive power of the government.�?� The due process clause, wrote Brown, �??puts Congress to a choice: its chartered entities may either compete, as market participants, or regulate, as official bodies.�?�
The obvious way to avoid such dangerous jumbles of public and private responsibilities is to never have such government-chartered entities as Amtrak (and Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and others). �??Indeed,�?� Brown warned, �??government�??s increasing reliance on public-private partnerships portends an even more ill-fitting accommodation between the exercise of regulatory power and concerns about fairness and accountability.�?�
This reliance is another unpleasant feature of America�??s predictable future. For almost eight years, Barack Obama has had the courage of Woodrow Wilson�??s anti-constitutional conviction that the separation of powers is an anachronistic inconvenience. It supposedly denies Americans the blessings of what then-professor Woodrow Wilson of Bryn Mawr College called administrators with �??large powers and unhampered discretion.�?� It will be at least four years before even the possibility of a president who thinks otherwise.
There might never be another such president, now that the Republican Party is embracing a candidate for chief executive who embodies Wilson�??s enthusiasm for unbounded executive power. Now that both parties regard constitutional conservatism as an inconvenient anachronism, Amtrak is a harbinger of future bipartisanship: There will be the steady permeation of ostensibly, but not really, private entities with government�??s presence, which for a century has been progressives�?? consistent goal.

ASTCT Town Hall on Race Examines Barriers for African Americans in Health Care—Both Personally and Professionally
For Black people in America, obstacles exist that impede both quality equitable care and the diversity of those providing it. Biases can influence the care that health professionals provide, as well as the ability for people of color to pursue a career in medicine. Amid recent acts of reprehensible racism in the U.S. there's been a renewed importance in discussing how race is represented in medicine and what health care professionals can do to help bridge the gaps.
At a recent ASTCT Town Hall conversation, three Black members of the ASTCT community shared their stories about growing up in America and how race affects their careers in medicine, and how systemic biases affect the patients they care for.
"You have to recognize that racial biases are here," said UNC Medical Center Clinical Pharmacist, Maurice Alexander, PharmD, BCOP, CPP. "While they are hidden and often unconscious, they do arise from assumptions that are made about people of color that impact people of color."
According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, only 5% of active physicians identify as Black. An even smaller portion of those go on to serve in roles related to hematology and oncology. Part of that is because of the small pipeline for young Black people to becoming physicians, and an even smaller pipeline into hematology and oncology.
Having a diverse medical staff that understands specific experiences based on race helps give care to a diversified set of patients more effectively. Rayne Rouce, MD, of Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers, knows that all too well. Many Black patients comment on how they have never had a Black doctor before. Rarely did Rouce herself come across another Black person working in hematology-oncology with whom she could connect with on her experiences.
That is, until she met Melody Smith, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, at the ASTCT Clinical Trials Training Course. They both found they had a similar family history, and felt their colleagues, no matter how well-meaning, didn't have the same sense of how racial bias impacted medicine and society as a whole.
"The historical segregation, the historical racism in this country has not only shaped the way most African American's view America today, but it also led Melody and I to embrace our history and move forward and never forget," Rouce said.
Both Rouce and Smith had family members who were enslaved people. Both were involved in two historical massacres—Rouce's family survived the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 and Smith's family survived the Wilmington Massacre of 1898. Both experienced explicit and implicit racism throughout their lives.
"In my lifetime, I have tangible memories of racism," Smith said. "What's happened in the past few weeks in our country is not new for Black Americans. We've been hurting and dealing with racism for a very long time."
The death of George Floyd—as well as the deaths of many black men and women—is bringing to light for many white people the impact of systemic racism in law enforcement. Alexander said these injustices should also spark conversations within the medical community about how overt racism and implicit bias impact recruiting, patient care and scientific studies. He said training on racial inequities and diversity and inclusion should begin in the classrooms of all medical disciplines, including medicine, pharmacy, nursing and dentistry, as well as be integrated into training programs.
"It's important to understand that a big part of racial bias is social conditioning—behaviors, events, messages and opinions that surround us every day that ultimately begin to shape our own behaviors and opinions," Alexander said. "When you understand that, it's easier to understand that these conditioned or learned responses can be unlearned, but even better, prevented in the first place."
Smith said it's critical for organizations like ASTCT to step up and make tangible efforts to move the needle forward. White people within those groups need to be allies in facilitating change. Those in positions of leadership should push for stronger diversity and inclusion programs, identify areas where they can to make their Black colleagues feel seen and heard, and most importantly stand up to racist behaviors, actions and words.
"I think that's a powerful thing," Smith said. "When you see something or hear that someone is disparaging someone else because of their race, there is so much power in your voice. If someone who heard it says something—someone who doesn't look like me and has more power or influence than me—that can make a difference."
This won't be a problem that goes away overnight. But if the medical community starts to make changes—even small ones—in how they address race both with their staff and their patients, it might lead to a long-term solution.
"I know that as we talk about the historical context of racism in America It might seem like we'll never be able to fix this, but individually, professionally, as a society, we need to know we can address this," Alexander said. "We need to develop plans of actions to incrementally rectify these current and historical injustices, and I think with time we will be able to do it."

Q: Change Orientation on Jquery Parallax Effect I´m using a simple Scrolldeck Jquery Parallax effect to scroll itens at different speeds but i´m having some trouble to make itens move from top to bottom, on the example below you can find a shoe moving from bottom to top at different scroll speed.
I´ve tried to change css position to negative values, change outerHight values but i can´t find a EndPoint to the transition, only the startPoint, maybe that´s why i can´t achieve this.
I want to make the same thing but moving the same shoe from top to bottom, as the page is scrolled, as i see on many sites, anyone can help me with that ?
Example:
http://johnpolacek.github.com/scrolldeck.js/decks/parallax/

A: the parallax scrolling is best explained at http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/simple-parallax-scrolling-technique/

Easy, fast and good way to implement the technique.

The Iraq War of 2003: A Lecture from Dr. Marvin Vitebsk
AC Charlap: And now a glum lecture on the Second Iraq War of 2003 by Dr. Marvin Vitebsk, Director of the Yitzhak Shamir Foundation on Security Studies and editor-in-chief of the Shamir Foundation's journal - Middle East Defense Quarterly. He's also the Sheldon Adelson Senior Fellow in Media and Education Bias at the Jabotinsky Institute, the Director of International Anti-Israel Propaganda Rapid Response at the BenZion Netanyahu Foundation for Global Research, Second Executive Vice Chairman of the Kahane Committee on the Present Danger, Fourth Vice-Director of the Jesse Helms and Phyllis Schaffly Coalition for a Democratic Minority, Contributing Editor to magazines like Commentary, The Weekly Standard, The National Review, The New Criterion, Frontpage Magazine, The New American, The American Spectator, The American Conservative, The American Standard, and former fellow of the American Enterprise Institute before hitting Richard Perle over the head with a two-by-four. After getting an undergraduate degree in classics at the City College of New York which he paid for by becoming a janitor at the RAND Corporation and then leaking their documents to Maoist China, he then switched allegiances and got all charges dropped by producing visual film to Dean Rusk and Robert McNamara of hitting Zhou Enlai over the head with a two-by-four. Marvin then received two doctoral degrees at the University of Chicago. His first doctoral thesis, entitled Democracy: The American Weakness, was supervised by Allan Bloom. His second doctoral thesis - entitled The Benefits of Mutually Assured Destruction, was supervised by Albert Wohlfstetter. Both theses were published in abridged form as cover stories in Commentary Magazine. While at the University of Chicago, Dr. Vitebsk briefly gained national eminence in a case for which he was prosecuted for assaulting another University of Chicago student with what was misreported as a seven-by-sixteen. He assaulted this student because he advocated for peaceful resistance against capitalist oppression, the student's name was Bernard Sanders - after which he appeared in roundtable discussions on shows hosted by Mike Wallace, Edward R. Murrow, Keith McBee, David Brinkley, Walter Cronkite, and Dick Cavett. His period as a television personality ended however in 1978 when he hit the longtime AFL-CIO director George Meany on the air over the head with what was clearly a two-by-four. He then served as a distinguished congressional aide to Senator Scoop Jackson of Washington and briefly served as Deputy Chief of Staff to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, until a fight with Moynihan's then Chief of Staff, Timothy Russert, ended with Dr. Vitebsk hitting Mr. Russert over the head with a plywood of indeterminate length. After the Iranian Revolution he made the cover of TIME Magazine for having been the only man in CIA employ to hit both Ayatollah Khomeni and Saddam Hussein over the head - the implement with which he did so however is still classified. After the fall of Communism, Dr. Vitebsk revealed him, though some have disputed his account, as having been the covert CIA assassin of both the brief-tenured Soviet Premieres Andropov and Chernenko, whose deaths the Soviets pretended were due to natural causes as a way of saving face in the international arena, and which enabled the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev and a new generation of Soviet leaders who believed in Glastnost and Perestroika. Once again, the implement with which he assassinated them is classified. Dr. Vitebsk now divides his time between Silver Spring and French Hill in East Jerusalem. We are pleased to have him here in this studio. Dr. Vitebsk.
Dr. Vitebsk: Yes, I'm going to begin this lecture by objecting in the most strenuous possible terms to Mr. Charlap's reference to East Jerusalem when in fact Jerusalem is the undisputed and undivided capital of an Israeli state whose borders go from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River and include the entirety of the provinces of Judea and Samaria, which billions of antisemites still refer to as The West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
I have been told that my subject today is the Iraq War. How does one begin to talk of something of such existential importance to mankind? The Iraq War was, in fact, the still unresolved and ticking time bomb which is in effect holding the entire world hostage until we defeat it with unconditional victory. As my ex-friend Norman Podhoretz once said, it is prime battle front upon which World War IV was raged, twice in my opinion, the first being the Persian Gulf conflict of 1991, and which will no doubt soon rage again.
You may notice that I say World War IV was raged, for there have not been two world wars, but four. The third was The Cold War, which the antisemitic media unfortunately sold to the United States as a war that could be waged without demanding casualties from the public at large. This is World War III and it is still ongoing. As a result, we now in 2016 have a still Communist China whose Communism should in fact have in fact been stopped by the President Truman in 1948. We had dozens of perfectly decent atomic bombs at our disposal and Stalin had just barely developed his. By my estimation we could have dropped three dozen atomic bombs on the Chinese mainland and Stalin's second strike capability was still such that he'd only have been able to retaliate by dropping three or four bombs on us. In fact, now that the Soviet Union is gone, the coming conflict with China which is long overdue should be referred to as World War V.
But World War IV is the war against Radical Islam; perhaps I should refer to it as World War VI, because we seem to have already lost World War IV. 41% of Muslim countries experience civil war while only 27% of Christian countries experience it. Muslims have a 3.1 children birth rate per family while Christians have a 2.7 children birth rate per family. There are, in fact, 140,000 Islamic refugees from Syria coming to Germany alone this year. Once in Europe, the Muslims can take advantage of the social welfare state to have still more children, until they have so many children that they can take over the state. Muslims already make up 5.8% of the German population and 7.5% of the French population. As you can see, the crisis of Islam's infiltration of the West cannot be more grave.
Antisemitic western liberals like to explain away such things with condescending relativism, treating minorities like children and their differences as something to be celebrated and assimilated into our culture, whereas we are clearly the bastions of liberalism and tolerance, and they must assimilate and adapt to our culture.
I have come up with a three point plan to strengthen liberal resolve. You can find elaboration upon it in a book entitled 'Spine: How to Close the Liberal Soul':
1. Antisemitic American and European liberals must be reasoned with and if that proves impossible, compelled to uphold the social order. They must feel as though they have no choice but to become our allies - I have infinite faith that the coming disasters which Islamism will bring to cosmopolitan cities like New York and London and Paris will strengthen liberal resolve. I worry however that the far greater death tolls from the political restrictions of a President like Donald Trump will blind liberals to the true threat in their midst.
2. That antisemitic liberals must be made to realize that a massive inhuman government cannot provide solutions to problems that individuals create. Government must be shrunk and an ethic of personal responsibility must be facilitated and encouraged to take its place - and I have outlined the proposal for a government department of personal responsibility on the cabinet level that will have offices in every town in America. My antisemitic grandson who protests at rallies to stop the Israeli Occupation tells me that this is a contradiction in terms. He would.
3. Antisemitic liberals must stop the crude patronization of minorities by insisting that their problems have reasons. Liberals like my antisemitic ex-wife are, in fact, the true racists, whose programs merely benefit and improve and enrich the lives of impoverished minorities when what they should be doing is forcing minorities to conform to the standards of how to behave that the country sets for them, thereby making them part of the majority with no need for diversity.
This of course, necessitates a second plan, which is six points long. You can find an elaboration for this in my book: "Submit: Destroying Democracy to Rebuild It"
1. Because of intolerant tolerance of antisemtiic liberals, America is in the direst of crises. Confidence in its authorities is undermined, and because of that, any talk of reforming our institutions must take a back seat to upholding them. Authority must be re-established. And here is when I must issue a reason for hope in a Trump administration. While I may disagree with particular policies of a Trump administration, particularly its use of antisemitic propaganda, I am in fact overjoyed that a President has finally come along who will use the office of the Presidency to its fullest capacity, particularly against the coming demographic threat from Islam. American Muslims are now more than a full one percent of American residents, and by 2150 might constitute a full 2.5% of the American population. This must not be allowed to happen, and the consequences of such growth cannot be overestimated.
2. This is an issue of moral corruption. What ails the United States is not a decline of an economic system, but a decline of values and standards. The individual in contemporary America simply has too many rights, and therefore concentrates itself on the satiation of pleasure. Traditional means of enforcing community standards like religion and nationalism have been completely eroded by the counterculture. Just last month I was at a conference in Maine, and I went out to dinner with Abe Foxman and Marty Peretz, and while we were waiting for our Lobster Rolls we all agreed that religion particularly was of paramount importance to enforcing societal norms. Without a God to tell us what to do, what is there to stop us from making our own choices?
3. The swamp of counterculture must be utterly drained. Perhaps the worst mistake this country ever made was the GI Bill, which allowed for a large and antisemitic middle class. Rather than promote solidarity with the old trade union issues like wages and working conditions, every part of the middle class is concerned with its own subsection of issues: their racial and sexual and gender and antisemitic identities and the rights that are due them rather than their responsibilities to their community and country. These issues reflect a spoiled and antisemitic nation of children who never had to look after their own private property. Perhaps a much smaller, much more responsible and respectable middle class will divert the attention of people back to the issues that truly matter - like the poverty to which we will soon acquaint them.
4. We must lower people's expectations of what government and life can do. The more they expect, the more they will protest, and protesting is the first and greatest sign of a decadent and antisemitic society that undermines confidence in its institutional authority, which should aim not only be unquestioned in speech but also in thought. Institutional authority exists to be revered, but never used. A government that doesn't do anything can never be criticized.
5. Intellectuals must particularly comply with these codes of standards so that they do not corrupt the public with insufficient ethical standards. An intellectual is not an expert, and government should never be administered by experts on their subjects. Particularly by intellectual experts, whose knowledge of the subject is suspect in its select subjective antisemitism. What is needed is government by an absolutely ordinary, pliable head of state of subaverage intelligence, who can then be molded by a philosophical elite of intellectuals with sufficient morals.
6. In order to create this philosophical elite, we must rid ourselves of the pestilence of these antisemitic, fascist, authoritarian, totalitarian university professors who corrupt even our best minds with radical antisemitic theories of social change, and we must do so by firing them all immediately without so much as a hearing about their competence. They have, furthermore, banished conservatives like me from campus life, and conservative intellectuals unfortunately have to content themselves with jobs in think tanks, corporate consultancies at three times the salary of traditional academics, articles for conservative magazines underwritten by spectacular endowments, paid international vacations to meet with right-wing leaders around the world, and astronomical speaking fees at conservative retreats. We truly live in a tragic state of affairs.
And the way to drain this liberal countercultural swamp can be found in three points, elaborated in my book: "Filth: Why the Middle Class Must Die"
1. After consigning the antisemitic American Middle Class back to the Working Class, we can then remold them free of moral corruption as the salt of the Earth American working class still is and has always been. Once the antisemitic middle class is fully part again of the working class, their concerns will be no different from the working class. I am heartened to see that Donald Trump, for all his vulgar superficialities, seems to agree with me about the necessity of destroying the Middle Class, and even if I take issue with certain statements of his aide Steve Bannon, I must say that I find him to be a very sympathetic person on the whole, and not at all antisemitic.
2. Individual merit is the most precious thing in the world. Therefore, inherited wealth must be maintained at all costs. If inherited wealth is not maintained, the antisemitic leaders of this country will be too intelligent to be molded by the virtuousness of the philosophical elite. And therefore, the public will be unable to achieve any meaningful sort of individual merit.
3. While the government should be perfectly docile in its management of domestic affairs, it must root out moral corruption abroad, lest their corruption contaminate us. The main purpose of government is destroy monsters abroad, because if we do not, their moral swamp will become ours, and we will have to rid ourselves of the antisemitic middle class and their antisemitic vices all over again.
4. In addition to Republican politicians of inherited privilege, the ranks of these philosophical elites must consist of traditional Democratic liberal hawks as the Democratic party was from the time of Franklin Roosevelt to Hubert Humphrey, accompanied by neoconservative academics like myself and most of my enemies, and traditional union leaders like Leon Bates, George Meany, Walter Reuther, and Philip Randolph. All four of whom I've stabbed in bar fights.
All this is just a prelude to talking about the Iraq War of 2003, which I still believe is the most important battlefront in World War IV, or, in actuality, World War IX as there are three other world wars I have not yet even spoken of.

ATP Doubles - Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Igor Sijsling win Atlanta doubles title
by PRAKASH | VIEW 3529
Tennis - Fourth seeds Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Igor Sijsling have won the doubles title at the BB&T Atlanta Open. The duo beat third-seed Brits Colin Fleming and Jonathan Marray in the final. Roger-Vasselin commented after the win, "We played a great match today again.
We played two weeks in a row so now we know each other quite well. We're very happy because we lost in the final last week and now we got the title." Sijsling commented, "I think we were returning very wel.
We had easier service games than they did. We had close games in their service games and that put a lot of pressure on them." This was Sjisling's first ATP doubles title and the fifth for the Frenchman Roger-Vasselin.

Deloitte Continues to Invest in Scotland as Revenues Soar
Deloitte plans to continue to invest in Scotland's digital future amid rising revenues.
Deloitte Scotland has revealed it plans to continue its focus on supporting technology and its associated sectors, a decision that is underpinned by its growth across Deloitte Digital, Fintech and Cyber teams in Scotland.
The statement of intent comes as the firm posted a 12.9% increase in revenue, while Deloitte UK & Switzerland announced an increase of 10.9% in the year ended 31 May 2019, up from £3.58 billion to £3.97bn.
With 109 new people joining its offices in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow, the firm has demonstrated its commitment to Scotland. This figure includes both graduates and BrightStart apprentices, Deloitte's programme for school-leavers.
Starting with only eight team members, Deloitte Digital has expanded its staff to 30 and this is expected to double in size by 2021. Led by Gareth Edwards and Debbi McLean, the team is focused on how digital can simplify and augment human experiences without adding complexity to ensure technology clients use is additive to both them and their customers.
With Edinburgh set to become the data capital of Europe, the company has expanded both its Fintech and Cyber teams significantly.
Winning Team of Deloitte Datathon 2019 Announced
Young Engineers Help Create Futuristic Vision of Royal Marines
James Turpie, director of Cyber Risk, said: "Our drive is to continue attracting high calibre talent as well as investing in the future of the cyber profession through recruitment, training and development at all levels from graduate to the top."
Steve Williams, senior partner for Deloitte in Scotland and Northern Ireland, said: "It's been a hugely successful year for the firm in Scotland, as we have continued to expand and bolster our offering, particularly across the digital technologies sector.
"This is shown by the incredible growth of both Cyber and Deloitte Digital and speaks more widely to the vital role that these industries play across the region. In the coming year, our goal is to continue recruiting and developing these areas of the practice."
Overall, Deloitte's One Million Futures strategy, which was launched three years ago and focuses on skills, education and inclusion, has made an impact on more than 890,000 people.
In Scotland, Deloitte supports Children 1st, Aberdeen Foyer and Move On while Social Bite joined a new cohort of eight social enterprises focused on creating employment opportunities for disadvantaged groups. The company also holds an annual Datathon as a fringe event at Datafest, which helps encourage innovative uses of data for the betterment of society.
The firm's total tax contribution was £1,057m in 2019. This comprised £638m of taxes collected on behalf of HMRC (VAT, PAYE and employee national insurance) and £419m of taxes borne by the firm (partner income taxes, national insurance, corporation tax and employer's national insurance).
