Sex Ed Identity Crisis
Posted by Jeff Johnston | Oct 2, 2019 | Sexuality
Earlier this year, about 50 kindergarten students at a Virginia elementary school sat cross-legged on the classroom floor, listening to a transgender activist read I Am Jazz, a picture book about a boy who believes he's a girl. The children learned about Jazz Jennings, who makes this claim: "I have a girl brain but a boy body …. I was born this way!"
The reading wasn't an isolated incident, either. Jazz & Friends National Day of School and Community Readings is an annual event that encourages teachers throughout America to read transgender books to children in schools. Sadly, this event is part of a much larger trend in public education, as children are taught confusing messages about gender and sexuality in classrooms across the nation. These lessons are in direct opposition to objective, scientific reality — and to most parents' beliefs and values.
Take what happened in Superior, Colorado, for example. Parents filed a complaint after first through fifth grade students watched Queer Kid Stuff YouTube videos. The students then attended the musical presentation "Raven's True Self," performed by a transgender choir, about a confused bird embracing its opposite-sex identity.
Legislating confusion
Such lessons often take place outside a school's optional sex ed classes. In fact, several states now require teaching about LGBT-identified individuals in social studies lessons, and parents often have no way to remove their children from the instruction.
California was the first state to dictate teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity across the curriculum. In 2011, the state legislature passed the Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful (FAIR) Education Act. The law revised existing statutes to require that schools teach children about the "contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans … to the economic, political, and social development of California and the United States of America." Since then, Illinois, New Jersey and Colorado have pursued similar legislation.
California's law took effect in 2012, but new textbooks that accommodate the mandate take years to produce and are still being introduced. Because California is the country's largest textbook purchaser, many publishers tailor their books toward that state's curriculum requirements. Other states often adopt these same teaching materials.
The new books contain many instances of inappropriate content. For example, one social studies textbook teaches second graders about drag queen Jose Julio Sarria, who "told people he was gay and that sometimes he dressed as a woman. He was the first person to do this when running for office." The children are then asked to write about how Sarria's honesty was inspirational to others.
Confusion Across America
In Marion County, Oregon, an elementary school teacher kept an 8-year-old boy back from recess and showed him videos and books about being transgender. Because of the lessons, the boy struggled with anxiety and depression, the boy's parents said, and was confused about whether he was going to turn into a girl.
In Connecticut, two high school boys, who claim they are girls, took first and second in the girls' 55-meter dash at the 2019 state indoor track championships. Seventeen states allow high school athletes to compete in sex-segregated sports according to their "gender identity."
The Scholastic Corporation publishes and distributes inexpensive books for children, often sold through school fairs and catalogs. They now distribute LGBT books for young readers, such as And Tango Makes Three, about two male penguins who raise a baby penguin together.
Sex ed and transgender ideology
In addition to regular classroom lessons that contain unsuitable messages, confusing content in sexual education curriculum also concerns many parents. California's legislature passed the California Healthy Youth Act (CHYA), which took effect in 2016. This law requires school districts to provide students with comprehensive sexual health education, with an increased focus on gender identity themes. That same year, the state's department of education began revising its entire Health Education Framework; the final document was adopted in May. The guidelines suggest that children begin learning about "gender expression and identity" in kindergarten because "some children in kindergarten and even younger have identified as transgender or understand they have a gender identity that is different from their sex assigned at birth."
Even before the guidelines were finalized, local school districts adopted curriculum to comply with the CHYA and the new Health Education Framework. Several school districts chose the "Rights, Respect, Responsibility" curriculum, also known as "3Rs." This curriculum "adheres to the concept of a gender spectrum," meaning there aren't just two sexes but a wide variety of gender identities, and people are the gender they believe they are. Instruction about this begins in kindergarten.
It would be easy to continue on with other egregious examples of sensitive sexual issues discussed with children in public schools. But the bottom line is this: Parents need to be aware of the unhealthy messages being taught in their kids' classrooms.
School lessons about gender, sexuality and marriage have changed dramatically, moving away from truth and toward darkness. But you can graciously and courageously take a stand for truth. In doing so, you are helping to protect your children and inform other parents in your community. Here are a few starting points:
1. Be proactive
Give your children a solid understanding of God's design for marriage, relationships and sexuality. Teach your children that people have a special place in God's creation because He made us in His image, male and female. Both sexes are good and valuable, but they are also unique and different. This basic foundation gives you a platform from which to go deeper about God's intent for relationships, sexuality and marriage.
2. Be prepared
Stay educated on these issues, anticipating that your children will encounter these sensitive topics at some point. If you're prepared ahead of time, you can respond calmly with relevant information and insight. As you engage with your children, ask questions and encourage an ongoing dialogue, especially with older children.
3. Be involved
Stay active and engaged in your children's school. And remember: You are not alone. Many like-minded parents are concerned about what their children are being taught. In California, parents united to explore and then protest against inappropriate social studies lessons and sexuality education. Concerned citizens up and down the state spoke before school boards, created petitions and pulled their children out of sexual education classes.
How To Talk To Your Kids
If your kids are in public school, it's likely they will be presented with confusing messages about sexuality. Here are some suggestions on how you can respond to those messages in an age-appropriate way.
Preschoolers and Kindergarteners
Your kindergartener's teacher reads her a book about different kinds of families — including ones with two moms and two dads. At this age, you don't need to go into a great deal of detail about homosexuality or sexual activity. Simply point back to what she knows about God's design for marriage. Then you might say something like, "But not everyone obeys God and follows His plan. Some people have changed marriage to be different from what God says. We can still be kind to people, even when we disagree with them."
Your fourth grade son says he learned in school there aren't just two sexes, but many genders, and a girl can be born with a boy's body. You might respond by asking questions: "Where did you hear that? What do you think about this lesson?" If you're upset, that's OK, but assure your child that you're not angry with him; you're unhappy with the school teaching things that aren't true. Don't feel like you have to explain everything at once about transgender ideology, but say something like, "Some people feel confused about being a boy or a girl. God made two sexes — male and female. But when sin entered the world, pain and confusion became part of our lives. We don't have to agree with confused people, but we can still treat them with love and respect."
Middle and High Schoolers
Your middle school son just finished "comprehensive sexual education" in his health class. Somehow you missed the flyer from the school announcing that fact. Now would be a good time to review and discuss what he's been taught, including any materials about sexual orientation and gender identity. With teens, you can discuss deeper concepts such as the conflict between a Christian worldview and a secular one. You could also explore books and resources together that explain what research shows and what the Bible says about sexuality.
Download two free online booklets: "How to Talk to Your Children About Homosexuality: A guide for parents" and "When Transgender Issues Enter Your world." Each has ideas for discussing these critical topics with children. TheDailyCitizen.org/resources

Dividend Suspension Announcement Sends Frontier Communications Corp Shares Plunging 19%
By Jing Pan, B.Sc., MA | February 28, 2018

Frontier Communications Corp Reports Earnings and Suspends Dividends
Here at Income Investors, we don't just cover high yield opportunities. We also warn readers about potential dividend cuts.
Earlier last year, my colleague Robert Baillieul warned investors about Frontier Communications Corp (NASDAQ:FTR), which offered an astonishing yield of 21% at the time. In that article, he wrote, "I expect Frontier will slash the dividend soon."
In December 2017, when FTR stock's yield reached a jaw-dropping 28%, Robert warned investors again, explaining that "even if management can thread the needle between subscriber losses and interest payments, it's difficult to see how there can be enough cash left over for dividends."
And boy, was he right on that call. On Tuesday, February 27, 2018, after the closing bell, Frontier Communications Corp announced that its Board of Directors had suspended the quarterly cash dividend on its common stock. (Source: "Frontier Communications Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Results," Frontier Communications Corp, February 27, 2018.)
The stock market didn't take the news very well. Following the announcement, shares of Frontier Communications Corp tumbled over 19% in after-hours trading.
Just think about that for a second. Before the announcement, FTR stock was paying quarterly cash dividends of $0.60 per share, translating to an annual yield of 26%. Now, not only is that yield gone, but Frontier Communications' shareholders also have to face a 19% drop in the value of their investment.
FTR stock's news on Tuesday is the latest example of how risky these ultra-high yielders can be. Dividends come from profits. A company may borrow money to fund its dividend payments in the short term. But in order to pay sustainable dividends in the long run, the company needs to generate a recurring stream of revenues and profits.
And the blunt reality is, Frontier Communications hasn't been able to turn a profit for quite some time. The company also reported earnings on Tuesday. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Frontier Communications had a net loss of $1.03 billion, or a loss of $13.91 per diluted share. In full-year 2017, its diluted net loss totaled $25.99 per share. (Source: Ibid.)
The company also carries a sizable amount of debt. And without a profitable business, Frontier Communications could have a hard time finding lenders to refinance its debt going forward.
Indeed, one of the main reasons behind the decision to halt the company's dividend payments is to reduce debt. According to Frontier Communications Corp President and Chief Executive Officer Dan McCarthy, the dividend suspension would give the company an additional $250.0 million a year to help with debt reduction.
Lowering the company's debt was certainly a good decision. But it came at the cost of its shareholders' dividend stream.

At the end of the day, remember this: markets are often efficient. The main reason why Frontier Communications could offer such a high yield in the first place was the downturn in its share price. And its share price tumbled because investors knew that the business wasn't profitable and that the dividend wouldn't last.
If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic is accused of bearing direct responsibility for some of the worst crimes committed during the 1990s Bosnian War. He is on trial at The Hague on 11 counts, including crimes against humanity.
June 19, 1945: Born in Petnjica, Montenegro. His father, a member of the Chetniks, Serb nationalist guerillas, spends a large part of his son's youth in prison for his opposition to the Communist regime of Marshal Tito.
1960: Karadzic settles in Sarajevo, where he pursues his psychiatry studies in medical school and also develops a passion for poetry. This interest leads him to meet Serbian nationalist writer Dobrica Cosia, who will later push him to enter politics.
1967: Publishes his first book of poetry.
1989: After a brief stint with the Green Party, Karadzic co-founds the Serbian Democratic Party, through which he will rise to power a few years later. The proclaimed goal of the party is to unite the Serbs of Bosnia and Croatia and defend their interests.
October 1991: Karadzic announces the creation of an "Assembly of autonomous Serbian provinces" in Bosnia.
February 28, 1992: Under Karadzic's orders, the autonomous Serbian assembly created in October 1991 adopts the Constitution of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
May 1992: Karadzic becomes president of the self-proclaimed Serbian Republic Bosnia and Herzegovina as Yugoslavia's implosion begins. He also takes the reins of the army of Bosnian Serbs.
April 1992 – November 1995: His forces carry out a 44-month siege of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo.
July 1995: The Srebrenica massacre is perpetrated under General Radko Mladic, Karadzic's military commander. The Bosnian Serb army kills more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys.
1995: As the war in former Yugoslavia ends, Karadzic takes flight and successfully evades international justice for 13 years.
July 21, 2008: Doctor Dragan Dabic is arrested in Belgrade. The bearded man is, in fact, Radovan Karadzic.
July 31, 2008: Karadzic appears for the first time before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, where he is informed of the 11 charges against him.
October 26, 2009: The trial begins. Karadzic fails to show up for the first hearing, saying that he did not have enough time to prepare his defence. He faces life in prison.


#tiëstotuesday DJ Tiësto, a world-famous musician and record producer of electronic dance music, spent the whole day yesterday (October 5) directly interacting with his Twitter followers. He sent out about 450 tweets answering questions to his fans. Most of the questions were about Tiësto's personal life (whether he's single, has children,) and, or course, his music. His answers were very short, getting shorter and shorter towards the end of the busy day. He rarely retweeted anyone.
Tiësto is a big celebrity in the world of music, and has a lot of fans. Just check his Facebook page. Today, it has 4,609,719 members!
His (and, I guess, his management team's) posts generate thousands of comments each day.
Facebook was used to announce the #tiëstotuesday on Twitter, where numbers of his followers are more modest. Even after the #tiëstotuesday stunt, he has "only" 217, 368 followers.
However, it's not all about the numbers. As some say, "Facebook is for people you know while Twitter is for people you don't know". Which means that Facebook users are more receptive to status updates by their real friends. Twitter users, on the contrary, are more alert to the tweets of those they follow, whether they know them personally or not.
In this respect,Twitter can indeed provide a better platform for Tiësto (and other celebrities) as a direct fan outreach tool, and a platform for strengthening his funky personal brand. The fact that he personally, and not his management, was the real guy behind his tweets, reinforces his popularity vis-a-vis the fans.
The only downside is that such one-to-one conversations are extremely time consuming. If Tiësto is thinking about other #tiëstotuesdays in the future, I'd suggest to do this no more than once every two months or so.

Asia-Pacific will be looking for maximum points from Brandon Starc who arrives in Ostrava riding the best momentum of any high jumper on the planet.
The 24-year-old Australian has illustrated impressive longevity this season, winning the Commonwealth title with a then-PB of 2.32m in April, then improving to 2.33m in Birmingham less than one month ago, and going higher still in Eberstadt on 26 August where he topped 2.36m to equal the Area record set by Tim Forsyth back in 1997.
Starc, who last weekend he won the IAAF Diamond League final with 2.33m in Brussels, recently received a message from Forsyth, wishing him the best of luck in breaking the national record outright in Ostrava.
On paper, though, the field is evenly matched.
Starc will be backed up by world bronze medallist Majd Eddin Ghazal of Syria, who has cleared 2.33m this season.
The Americas team is represented by Bryan McBride of the US, who improved to 2.35m early in the season, and Bahamian Donald Thomas, the 2007 world champion who has cleared 2.32m this year.
Maksim Nedasekau of Belarus, at 20 the youngest in the field, heads the European team after his surprise silver medal finish at the continental championships where he equalled his 2.32m personal best. More recently he scaled 2.30m at Berlin's ISTAF last Sunday. He'll be joined by authorised neutral athlete Ilya Ivanyuk, the European bronze medallist, who topped 2.31m in Berlin last month.
African hopes lie with Mathew Sawe of Kenya, of improved to 2.30m to take the African title in Asaba last month.


Students of the MFA Programme in Interaction Design unveil their fictional design projects portraying homes of the future. Challenged to do it differently, they went above and beyond conventional design thinking.
Interaction designers are time and again asked to guess what the future might hold. In fact, the essence of the job itself is to create the future, through innovation. By studying people and their behaviour, the designer's mission is to predict needs that people don't yet know they have. In a recent project, truly challenging their prophetic abilities, the second-year-students of the MFA programme in interaction Design were tasked with creating a product for a home 20 years from now, in 2038.
Looking back 20 years, to the mid-90s, the internet had seriously started making its mark in the homes of ordinary people. The dial-up modems' robotic melodies penetrated the thickest of walls as people searched AltaVista, WebCrawler and other then pioneers of the young internet. The explosive effect that the advent of the internet has had on society and human behaviour is almost inconceivable, touching on so many aspects of peoples' daily lives. From influencing global politics on a major scale to allowing us to locate the best coffee on the Lower East Side with a single swipe of the finger.
In the term project 'A Future Domestic Landscape: Faceless Interaction in 2038', students were asked to imagine what a home might look like in 20 years. Each of the 15 students created a unique scenario where they envisioned a future beyond the screen-based designs that we find around us today, such as smartphone apps, interactive surfaces or web services. The test here was to go a step further, above and beyond the horizons typically imagined by designers. For this project, that meant you had to time travel. And you had to build the time machine yourself. A daunting challenge, as one of the students, Lene Rydningen, would soon find out.
Lene Rydningen utilized the emotional power of scents and smells in her design fiction project.
"To imagine a meaningful product a couple of decades from now you first have to create the world in which this product is supposed to exist. You have to construct a believable society that is rooted in today's realities but still goes beyond the technologies and restrictions of now. Once you have created this world you can start to look for problems to solve within it, to find areas where you can make things better through design.", says Lene Rydningen.
Like most masters students at UID, Lene is away from what she calls home. In her case, home is in Tromsö, Norway. That's where most of her family and friends still live. Therefore, asking the question of what actually makes a home is not new to her. Drawing on her own experiences she started to play with smell, a sense very powerful in invoking strong feelings tied to family, childhood and home. But how do you go from that to developing a product that's actually feasible in a house or an apartment in 2038?
In her project, Lene Rydningen played with a number of smells and their abilities to invoke different emotional responses.
"I've always been interested in how scents and smells rooted in your past can bring out such strong emotions in people, myself included. And yet it's something that is almost not used at all. Instead we look through photo albums when we want to rekindle fond memories. So, I started playing around with how I could bring out these feelings through smell and ultimately came up with a memory switchboard that can release a number of different smells based on the favourite people or things in your life"
"The goal of the product is to cheer up or comfort people and the system is based on face recognition. Through 'deep learning technology' and A.I. the product, called Ember, acquires enough information to recognize your different moods based on facial expressions and then releases smells that will either calm you or lift your spirits when you need it. That might be the scent of your grandmother or your dad's baking depending on the memories you've chosen"
The Ember prototype in the workshop, prior to assembly.
During this project in design fiction, the students abilities as story tellers were tested, and most found it an unusually demanding experience. Normally, design students work with the restrictions and possibilities of today. When asked to produce a vision of the future it rarely extends beyond a five-year period. Here, without any clear boundaries, they were forced to think bigger, not only about what the world might look like in 2038 but what role designers might play in us getting there.
The finished product set of Ember experience prototypes.
"To me, this project became something of a wake-up call. It helped me zoom out and it made me realize that as a designer I have the opportunity to be part of something bigger, that I can play a role in shaping the very future that I was trying to imagine. It was without doubt the hardest design project I've ever done, I think we were all lost in the beginning actually. But in the end it sparked a discussion that I know will affect me going forward"
The platform showcases the collective output of the Faceless Interaction Design course, a 10-week full time course for the second year MFA Interaction Design students at Umeå Institute of Design, running from 2015-17.

Do you give bits of your patch names? You know, names that are not the actual names as recognised on maps and so on? I do, and the genesis of this post comes from trudging around a few of them today and giving it a bit of thought as I did so. A lot of my trudging was actually outside the patch - the reason for this was that there were two Smew just south of us beyond the Old Sewage Works, presumably the bird from a few days ago plus another one. The boundary is marked by some large iron gates. These are the Gates of Mordor, and beyond them are the badlands. Very rarely do I go beyond these gates, there are nastly things like Orcs that live there - I know this as I sometimes see them whilst driving through Ilford. Today however I braved danger and death in an effort to gently shepherd the Smew back onto the patch, engaging in an elaborate flanking maneuvre on near the Golf Course before popping up on the river bank, but it was a heroic failure. They initially flew in the right direction, but then deliberately turned around, flew back over my head and landed even further away from the patch boundary, at which point I gave up and trudged back to safety.
The Gates of Mordor aren't really called that, that's just the name I have given them. They probably don't even have a real name, and are just one of these anonymous locations that when quizzed about a bird you end up saying "Oh yeah, er, it was by that bit, er you know, those gates near the big trees with the green grass...". So instead you can, as I have done, give somewhere a catchy name and thus be instantly understood - provided you have briefed people in advance about the stupid name you have given it. Otherwise they just stare at you blankly I find. The Gates of Mordor are now relatively well understood, but in the early days I remember calling Nick to find out about where something was, and he said whatever it was was underneath the stump by the Gates of Mordor. I dutifully trotted off there and on finding no stump, discovered that he called a totally different set of gates The Gates of Mordor - you can imagine how silly he felt when I told him.
Other good patch names are Motorbike Wood on Wanstead Flats, which in true urban fashion, for a period of time held a burnt out moped. This is long gone, but from now until eternity it will be called Motorbike Wood, and unless you birded the area in about 2008, you will have no idea why. The wood that surrounds the petrol station is called Esso Copse, and a very distinct part of the SSSI is called the Boggy Bit. Other bits of patch are named after memorable birds, so we now have a large patch of broom known as the Dartford patch, and of course "the bit near Alex where the Wryneck was".
I have lots of names for bits around Galley - some of them from historic birder-lore such as "Shite Lane", so-called cos the lane used to "run with shite" when they walked cows up and down the hill, rather than a birdy connection, and "lasher's cross", where the Lashers live, or more accurately used to live I suppose, since they don't appear to live there anymore. Then there is the rather boring "top lane" cos its the lane at the top of the hill, "marsh lane" made famous by my marsh warbler from 2004, and, stolen from Tory Island cos I liked the idea "The Magic Bush", which is a secret location that I cannot divulge at this point but will do one day when I find a mega in it! Its not had much yet, but you never know!
And I thought we were doing well!
Oh My God, More Birds!!!

He was very accommodating and we decided very quickly to make the purchase. The car was ready the next day, but they were more than agreeable for pickup a couple of days later. We actually made the transaction with the owner, who was also very nice and friendly. He even showed us some of the controls before we left. Overall an easy, simple and friendly place to buy a car. This was my first experience buying from a trader and next time I'm looking for a car, I will be sure to make this place my first stop.
Very helpful sales staff. I have only just purchased my car, but I am very pleased with it and believe I paid a fair price, especially as it was fitted with a new clutch, which was included in the cost. 3 months warranty is also included.

Received courteous and efficient service from Rich.
We were met with courteousness and great positivity about the car we had chosen to purchase. We gave the car a test run and really liked it. Paper work was carried out and the MOT completed the following day when we were able to drive the car home. Excellent and efficient service from walking in the garage to owning the car the following day.
Very welcomed and looked after, a stress free experience and given a good deal. Well worth the 3hr round trip.
Just to say Great service from start to finish. Richard was extremely helpful , efficient and understanding throughout. Again Great vehicle at extremely good price. They Went above my expectations with sorting out a scratched panel. Will recommend to family and friends. Rob. BMW 1 Series.

Everyman All Study Guides Homework Help Lesson Plans
Critical Evaluation
Everyman (Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Everyman (Literary Criticism (1400-1800))
Last Updated on October 6, 2022, by eNotes Editorial. Word Count: 775
I set not by gold, silver nor, riches,
Ne by pope, emperor, king, duke, ne princes.
For and I would receive gifts great,
All the world I might get;
But my custom is clean contrary.
I give thee no respite: come hence, and not tarry.
These lines are spoken by Death when Everyman offers him a bribe of a thousand pounds to defer his death and reckoning until another day. Death emphasizes his point strongly, giving three examples of wealth in the first line and five examples of earthly potentates, including the pope, in the second. No one, not even the head of the church, can avert death. The fact that the pope is grouped with secular leaders may be taken as an implied criticism and reminds the reader that, though the play precedes the Protestant Reformation, it does so only by a few decades, at a time when discontent with the luxurious lifestyles of wealthy prelates was increasing rapidly. Death shows that the wealthy are ultimately powerless, since he could have all the world if he wanted it, but his mercy cannot be bought.
Therefore to thy soul Good is a thief;
For when thou art dead, this is my guise
Another to deceive in the same wise
As I have done thee, and all to his soul's reprief.
Everyman is pleading with Goods to go on his journey with him, since he has loved Goods all his life and spent much of his time and energy in piling up treasure. This is the reply Goods gives him, and it is a shocking one. Satan makes no appearance in the play, and Goods is therefore the nearest thing that Everyman contains to a direct adversary of God and tempter of mankind. Several of the other characters are cowardly and disloyal, but Goods is the only one who takes delight in harming Everyman. Here he uses the vocabulary of theft and deceit, announcing that he has corrupted Everyman and intends to do the same to another after he is dead. Avarice is established throughout the play, and particularly in this speech, not just as one sin among many, but as the chief danger to mortal souls.
God will you to salvation bring,
For priesthood exceedeth all other things;
To us Holy Scripture they do teach
And converteth man from sin heaven to reach;
God hath to them more power given,
Than to any angel that is in heaven. . . .
Everyman has said that he will go to find a priest to administer the last rites, and Five-Wits approves his course of action in these lines, where he extols the priesthood. His praise may seem excessive, and Knowledge later tempers it with the caution that there are bad priests. However, Five-Wits is in line with mainstream medieval theology, as derived from Saint Thomas Aquinas. Christ, who became a man and a priest, is superior to the angels, and priests imitate him in preparing other men for heaven, which angels do not do. In this respect, therefore, priests are more powerful than angels, and it is specifically the power of a priest that Everyman needs at this point in the play. Moreover, Five-Wits emphasizes God as the source of priestly power, placing him at the beginning of the first and fifth lines and making him the subject of those clauses.
This moral men may have in mind;
Ye hearers, take it of worth, old and young,
And forsake pride, for he deceiveth you in the end,
And remember Beauty, Five-Wits, Strength, and Discretion,
They all at last do Everyman forsake,
Save his Good-Deeds, there doth he take.
This is the beginning of the final speech or epilogue, delivered by the Doctor, who has had no part in the play until this point. He addresses the audience directly, emphasizing the moral of the play and exhorting them to apply it to their own lives. The heavy alliteration in the first line serves to stress the Doctor's point even further. Although the word "pride" is not capitalized in this text, and there is no such character in the play, the sin is still personified as a deceiver, like Goods. This is in line with the message and tone of Everyman, which presents sins as active agents, eager to ensnare every man and doom him to hell. There is no indication that the Doctor is specifically a medical man, as modern audiences are likely to assume. The word means a scholar, a man of learning. Significantly, given that an angel has just appeared, Saint Thomas Aquinas, perhaps the greatest non-biblical authority in the medieval church, was generally known as "the Angelic Doctor."

8 Days to the Showcase!
Radar is involved in many different parts of our daily lives, such as the Doppler radar used to forecast weather or automatic position sensing in automobiles. An acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging, radar describes the energy that detects a target's range and motion. One small business in Rome, New York, Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc., is taking radar technology to new heights and keeping our nation's military and intelligence forces the best equipped in the world.
In 2007, Walter Szczepanski was ready to start his technology company after a career with GE Aerospace in Utica, NY and Lockheed Martin in Syracuse, NY, working on airborne sensors. Helios initially employed just Szczepanski and his business-savvy daughter, Janine, but then quickly grew to include more employees in the following years. Walter and Janine turned to business advisor David Lerman at the Mohawk Valley Small Business Development Center (SBDC) for help with a business plan to launch Helios Remote Sensing Systems. Janine worked with Roxanne Mutchler, the statewide SBDC government contracting expert, to access BIDLinx, a free SBDC program which sends customized listings of contracting opportunities right to her email address.
In addition to the company's success with BIDLinx, Helios grew strategically with winning proposals in the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. With 18 awards totaling $5.5 million over the past eight years, both programs have helped Helios fund the research and development of innovative technology for use by many federal agencies. In April, 2015, the NYS SBDC honored Helios as the 2015 Small Technology Business of Year for New York State.
Today, the 12 staff members at Helios Remote Sensing Systems have a strong knowledge base for its radar application development, with several employees that have over 40 years of radar experience at GE and Lockheed Martin. The highly sensitive nature of their work requires a government facility clearance and employees that are required to maintain government security clearances. Located in the Griffiss Business and Technology Park, Helios is just down the street from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory/Information Directorate. Its location also allows Helios to be a part of NUAIR Alliance, one of six Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) selected sites in America to qualify small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), also known as drones. Helios is developing new sensing technology for the U.S. military and intelligence community directly related to the surging UAV industry.
2014 was a banner year for Helios, with the company developing three innovative small radars. Developed through the SBA SBIR Phase II program, the first was a helmet-mounted radar system for the U.S Army, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, that offers soldiers 360 degree situational awareness in both urban and rural settings. Today, Helios is extending the helmet mounted radar system technology to provide greater detection ranges and additional functionality. Future enhancements include technology that migrates the radar products from the helmet to a Google-glasses type visualization screen that soldiers can wear on their face. The display screen integrates the outputs of many different types of technologies and sensors on the battlefield into one common visualization.
"SBIR is a great program for small businesses. The Federal Government provides funding if you have an innovative idea and they give you the intellectual property rights for four or five years. This particular radar provided the technology base for the next two radars we developed. SBA was instrumental in helping us get Phase I award for this contract by issuing a Certificate of Competency to prove that we were capable of performing in spite of our small size," said Walter.
Also in 2014, Helios partnered with two other companies on a six-month joint IR&D project to build its second radar product that can penetrate dense foliage for use by the Navy. In June, 2014, Helios, along with its two partners, demonstrated the radar for the Department of the Navy at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida in a two-day trial with great success. The team was selected over four other competitors to win a follow-on contract to take the prototype radar and build it into an Engineering Development Model, EDM.
The third radar development was a joint IR&D effort, partnered with a second small business, to develop a sense-through-the-wall (STTW) radar. Helios improved the radar capabilities so users can "see" movement through non-metallic walls of various materials, such as concrete walls. The ultimate goal is for a small hand-held device that has integrated radar, visualization, and controls for ease of operator usage. Helios demonstrated the STTW radar system to the US Special Forces at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Indiana and showed the capability to detect people through brick buildings using its proprietary motion sensing technology. This radar is so advanced it can pick up heartbeats and breathing movement in people who are trying to remain absolutely motionless. Unlike heat-sensing technology, the radar developed by Helios is able to penetrate walls of any non-metallic type and at a far greater distance, advantages critical in military and hostage rescue operations. The radar's digital processing is so advanced it's surprising that the system requires less power than a cellphone to operate.
Helios became an Economically-Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business in January, 2015 when Janine became Chief Executive Officer of the company. The transition to the next generation of ownership has been a smooth one at Helios.
Janine plans to continue to build on the company's strong external relationships. Teaming with other small businesses, universities and their laboratories, and large corporations such as SRC and Lockheed Martin, will help the company's strategic growth and smoothly handle production of their successful prototypes. The dynamics of change continue this year as Janine guides Helios' pursuit of new commercial customers for its image analysis and exploitation capabilities in the agriculture industry. Helios is working with Cornell Cooperative Extension to help farmers use aerial photo data for crop analysis instead of having to walk the fields to identify problems. Targeting this industry will help diversify Helios' customer base for commercial applications of their research and development successes. Agricultural consultants can access the aerial images and data analysis from UAVs in real-time on a tablet created by Helios.

Microsoft's New Flight Simulator Releases with 10 DVDs
Tech Apps & Software
Microsoft's next-gen Flight Simulator 2020 will come in three editions with more planes and international airports.
Microsoft Flight Simulator will be released on August 18th, and it a piece of great news for the fans in Europe who will get a chance to purchase a physical copy of the upcoming game. The icing on the cake is that Flight Simulator will be available on a package of 10 discs! The package will be available courtesy of a publisher called Aerosoft who made a deal with Microsoft to distribute the game in the European continent. After launching at E3 in 2019, and recently setting a release date on the PC for August, Aerosoft took the initiative of making Microsoft's new Flight Simulator available as a physical release.
Flight Simulator (Credit: Microsoft)
The ten dual-layered DVDs of the game will have around 90GB of game assets. This will include the new and useful textures and models of the planes that are featured in the game. That would lead to a total of almost 100GB of data for users. However, people with a slower internet connection won't be able to download. As such, they can purchase the edition to own it forever.
Microsoft's New Flight Simulator
No physical release of that magnum will be available without a manual. Nor would Flight Simulator be without one, it will have a proper manual for the players. The package of the Flight Simulator will be available in a fancy-looking box, and the digital version of the game would have enhanced multiple editions of the physical release. The boxed package will include the simulator code, world and aircraft models, optional streamed online content, and 3rd party files. The price tag of the physical release hasn't been announced yet, though the stated that it would be close to the price a user pays Microsoft. Also, purchasing more of the expensive €130 will give players access to unlimited additional aircraft and airports. However, both the versions will be available on 10 DVDs.
As gaming journaling site Eurogamer states that it is hard to predict if the total ten discs is a record for a physical media game release. Flight Simulator on its part would cover fewer Blu-ray discs, but the fact that it is shipping on DVDs makes it more easily accessible for gamers and lover alike.
About Microsoft Flight Simulator

Let Stevens Dental Fill That Cavity!
Ouch! Cavities are painful and require treatment by an experienced dentist to help prevent infection and reduce the risk of losing the tooth. At Stevens Dental, our experienced dentists and hygienists can help determine if you have a cavity and what type of filling may be necessary to stop the decay and help bring the tooth back to a functioning level of health.
If you can feel that nagging cavity, do not hesitate to call (208) 504-0968 and schedule an appointment with one of our Boise dentists.
There are some tell-tale signs that you may be facing a cavity. Many patients complain of painful teeth or jaws, throbbing headaches, hot and cold sensitivity, or sensitivity to sweets. Infections can be seen by physical examination within the mouth or by X-rays. Once a cavity is detected, the dentist will determine how large the decay is, how invasive it is, and what type of filling will work best.
Porcelain fillings – These fillings are made to look as close to the natural color of the tooth as possible but will not fade with the natural tooth. Porcelain is bonded to the teeth and can last for many years.
Composite fillings – Composite is a resin-based filling that matches the color of the tooth and wears with the tooth over time. Because of the natural wearing of the composite, the filling may need to be replaced.
Gold fillings – Gold is a hardy mineral that can last up to 20 years once it is bonded to the teeth. Gold can be pricey, though the color will remain the same over time.
Silver fillings – Silver is a cost-effective filling that can be custom-fit to the tooth. These fillings are dark in appearance and may need to be replaced over time.
There are many factors to take into consideration when determining the type of filling that you will receive. Your budget, insurance, and overall health may deter you from obtaining a certain type of filling over the other. A dentist can discuss which option is best.
A lot of people have apprehension over dental procedures, but at Stevens Dental, we aim to keep our clients comfortable. Our staff is understanding, experienced, and thorough, so you can relax in our comfortable dental facility. We make it easy for you to maintain your oral health by offering convenient hours, and we accept most insurance providers.
For more information on cavity fillings, or to schedule an appointment, contact our Boise dentists today at (208) 504-0968 today and ask about our new patient special pricing.

Learning to speak your truth in life is not easy.
This can be for many reasons. Perhaps from an early age, you were told to keep your opinions to yourself. Maybe you even got in trouble for speaking up. Perhaps your parents assigned to the belief that children should be "seen and not heard".
If this kind of conditioning is placed upon you as a child, it naturally can make it incredibly difficult to know how to effectively communicate as an adult.
If you never learnt to have your thoughts and feelings valued in your developmental stages how are you to know they are valuable as a grown up?
And further to that, how are you supposed to have the skills required to effectively communicate?
This type of conditioning creates a mindset that says in order to safe and loved you need to remain silent.
The impact of this experience as a child can manifest in many ways in our lives as an adult. Some examples may be, a deep fear of conflict, being overly agreeable, or devaluing your own personal perspectives in relation to others.
Looking at them more closely, these behaviours all point to a lack of confidence in our own voice. It can mean avoiding difficult but necessary conversations in order to "stay safe", which ultimately lead to us not feeling heard.
All of these behaviours are incredibly toxic to the self and can significantly affect self-esteem.
For example, if you are in a situation at work where someone is taking advantage of you, but you have a deep fear of conflict, you will likely choose to remain silent.
The problem is that you still FEEL all of the things that someone who has better communication skills feels, but you repress yourself which leads to feelings of anger and frustration towards not only the person who is taking advantage of you but also to yourself for not having the courage to speak your truth.
There are many examples of how these types of situations can arise, but the outcome is much the same – anger, frustration and even depression.
This is why speaking up is so important!
By learning to speak up about things that matter to us we build our confidence and self-worth and therefore naturally increase our happiness.
Speaking your truth means placing your needs in alignment with the needs of others. Yes, despite the common misconception that we must all self-sacrifice in order to be good people. The fact is that we must learn to care each for ourselves, with compassion to others, and not place our own needs lower than another's.
Here are some simple steps to help you get started on speaking your truth.
What do you want to say, how do you really feel? Asking these questions will help you develop a connection with yourself.
Acknowledge and accept that you are going to be scared. Notice your physical body, do you have butterflies? Are your hands shaky? Whatever happens, accept it with love.
Speaking up with someone who you know you are safe with, is a great place to start. It will help alleviate the anxiety you may have and gives you a safe place to build your confidence.
It won't be easy to start with. Learning to be brave and work through your fears around speaking up will have a flow-on effect in all areas of your life.

Little research has been done on whole goldenseal root or rhizome, but many studies have evaluated the properties of its two primary alkaloids, berberine and hydrastine. Berberine, the more extensively researched of the two, accounts for 0.5–6.0% of the alkaloids present in goldenseal root and rhizome. However, the effect of goldenseal in the gastrointestinal tract is most likely localized as its alkaloids (particularly berberine) are poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, limiting any systemic antibiotic effects.2 Goldenseal also has strong astringent properties which may partially explain its historical use for sore throats and diarrhea. In test tube studies, it has shown a wide spectrum of antibiotic activity against disease-causing organisms, such as Chlamydia, E. coli, Salmonella typhi, and Entamoeba histolytica.3 Human trials have used isolated berberine to treat diarrhea and gastroenteritis with good results.4 The whole root has not been clinically studied.

Sell Presidential Jets, Cancel N27bn National Assembly Renovation Fund – Atiku
Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, has faulted the latest review of the 2020 budget by the Federal Government, saying it shows that the regime has lost touch with current global economic realities.
Rather than reviewing the budget, Atiku advised the FG to sell eight or nine of the presidential jets and cancel the N27bn earmarked for the renovation of the National Assembly complex.
Atiku said this in a statement in Abuja, on Thursday. He expressed disappointment that despite the crash of oil prices in the international market and the nation's inability to expand its revenue base, the regime only slashed the budget by a "mere 0.6 per cent."
The former Vice President explained that significant cuts in funds budgeted for presidential feeding and transport as well as non-essential sub heads will go a long way in ensuring that Nigerians get a better deal.
Atiku said, "It is to my consternation that despite the crash in the price of oil, and the inability of Nigeria to expand our revenue base through the non-oil sector, the Federal "Government of Nigeria has only seen fit to slash our budget by a mere 0.6 per cent, from N10.594trn to N10.523trn. This represents a reduction of only N71bn.
According to him, as at the time the budget was first presented to the National Assembly on Tuesday October 8, 2019, it was predicated on a crude oil production of 2.18 million barrels a day, at an expected oil price of $57 per barrel. He said this situation has since changed.
He pointed out that Saudi Arabia, a nation with a much stronger production capacity than ours and with a larger global market share, as well as foreign reserves that is 12 times ours, has slashed her budget by almost 30%. Ditto for other oil economies.
He said, "My counsel to the Federal Government of Nigeria is this: put Nigerians first and cut your coat, not according to your size, but according to your cloth.
"Realistically slash the budget. Every pork barrel has to go. The billions budgeted for the travels and feeding of the President and Vice President has to be reduced. The N27bn budget for the renovation of the National Assembly has to go.
"The massive budgets to run both the Presidency and the Legislature has to be downsized. The budget for purchasing luxury cars for the President, his vice, and other political office holders must be jettisoned. Leave the salaries of civil servants alone, but reduce the salaries of political appointees. Sell 8 or 9 of the jets in the Presidential Air Fleet.
"Any budget slash that is less than 25% will not be in the interest of Nigeria. And beyond a budget slash, Nigeria needs a budget realignment, to redirect expenditure away from running a massive bureaucracy, into social development sectors like education infrastructure, and above all, healthcare. We must invest in the goose that lays the golden egg – the Nigerian people."

Darton, William (February 2, 1781 - July 28, 1854)
William Darton (February 2, 1781 - July 28, 1854) was an English publisher and engraver active in Tottenham London during the early part of the 19th century. Darton was the eldest son of William Darton Sr., himself a printer and publisher who co-owned the firm of Harvey and Darton. Darton, a Quaker, was educated at the Friends School in Clerkenwell, London and the Ackworth School in Yorkshire. Afterwards Darton apprenticed to his father where he mastered the part of printing and engraving. Around 1804 Darton opened his own shop, the "Repertory of Genius", specializing in maps, prints, children's books, educational publications, and other "works of merit" at 50 Holborn Hill, London. Cartographically Darton's most significant contribution is his 1823 publication, along with engraver W. R Gardner, of the first composite comparative mountains and rivers chart. Darton also published various maps for the 1802 Atlas to Walker's Geography and his own 1813 Union Atlas. Darton retired in 1851 leaving his business to his son, John Maw Darton, who partnered with Samuel Clark and published as "Darton and Clark".

From the salubrious surrounds of Manchester United to unfashionable Accrington Stanley, it has taken a long time but Jimmy Dunne should finally win his first Ireland cap tonight in the under-21 friendly against Iceland.
The FAI often trumpets its extensive programme of international matches, yet from the time he agreed to join United at 15 until this week, there was no space found for the Dundalk native.
It was an unusual and inexplicable omission for a player who opted to end his three-year stay at United in 2016 by moving to fellow Premier League club Burnley.
Still, the call did not come at under-age level.

Forgotten crises: Healthcare in the Central African Republic
Central African Republic: Many people have no access to medical care, © Sébastien Duijndam / Doctors of the World
09.01.2021 - Article
The Central African Republic has experienced one of the world's most protracted crises. In the midst of it, however, there are individuals such as Gilles Mbassade, who are working to alleviate suffering.
He looks after the sick and those in need with Doctors of the World. The German Government supports the project.
There are 4.7 million people living in the Central African Republic, around 75 percent of whom below the poverty line. Half of the population is suffering from starvation, while a quarter is displaced. The Central African Republic gained its independence from France in 1960 and the country has not been at peace ever since. Under the command of local warlords, rebel groups have de facto control of two thirds of the country's territory, which is the second poorest in the world.
In early 2019, the government under President Touadéra signed a peace agreement with 14 rebel groups. However, this did not halt the violence against the civilian population. Following the military offensive by a rebel coalition in the run-up to the presidential elections in December 2020, the fate of the peace agreement and of the country are more uncertain than ever.
"The majority of the population has no access to healthcare"
Gilles Mbassade works with the relief organisation Doctors of the World to alleviate suffering in the country. The organisation recently set up a health station in Bouca province. "The majority of the population has no access to healthcare", says Mbassade. "For many healthcare workers have left rural areas." For instance, in the prefecture where Mbassade works there are only 46 medical staff left for the 90,000 inhabitants. Many medical facilities are completely empty. The lack of medical care has had a negative impact on many other spheres, states Mbassade: "Maternal and infant mortality are steadily rising because no medical care is available."
Support for health stations in the region
While others are leaving the area, doctors from the NGO Doctors of the World launched their project there last summer. They support the health stations in the region, which are caring for the sick and injured with rudimentary equipment. Doctors of the World help, for instance, to train personnel and provide drugs. The team also deals with the refurbishment of the often crumbling facilities. What is more, motorcycles will be procured in the coming months. These will enable the aid workers to transport sick patients who have to be transferred to better equipped hospitals – even in remote areas with inadequate road links.
An attack on humanitarian workers every day
The staff of Doctors of the World put themselves at considerable personal risk to carry out their work. The Central African Republic is one of the world's most dangerous countries for humanitarian workers: in 2020, on average there was at least one attack on humanitarian personnel every day. The violence which flared up again in December 2020 has already had a negative impact on the Doctors of the World project: many of the staff are currently unable to leave their accommodation and thus cannot do their vital work.
2020: 30 million euro in humanitarian assistance from Germany
In 2020, Germany provided almost 30 million euro for humanitarian assistance in the Central African Republic and is thus the second largest humanitarian donor to this country. It was possible to finance many projects, such as the one in Bouca, with this funding.
Germany is also working at the political level to ensure that individuals such as Mbassade can continue their work in safety: together with France, Germany launched the Humanitarian Call for Action (CfA), intended to improve access and protection for humanitarian workers, in the UN Security Council in 2019.
This humanitarian engagement is flanked by comprehensive support for the UN Peacebuilding Fund and the EU's Bêkou Trust Fund, which are being used to finance a whole host of peacebuilding projects in the Central African Republic.
Many humanitarian crises are not in the public eye, with the result that the people affected do not receive enough support. The European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations Directorate-General of the European Commission (ECHO) identifies these forgotten crises by means of the annual Forgotten Crisis Assessment. Fifteen crises are on the list in 2020. We are showcasing these countries and crises in our series on forgotten crises.

The Charitable Raffle Enabling Act ("CREA"), permits "qualified organizations" to hold up to two raffles per calendar year, with certain specified restrictions.
The language of the law is very technical. If your organization is considering holding a raffle you should check the statute to be sure it qualifies.your organization qualifies.
An unauthorized raffle is considered gambling under the Texas Penal Code. Conducting such a raffle is a Class A misdemeanor. Participating in an unauthorized raffle is a Class C misdemeanor.
A county attorney, district attorney or the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) may bring an action in state court to stop a violation or potential violation of the Charitable Raffle Enabling Act (CREA).
CREA defines a raffle as "the award of one or more prizes by chance at a single occasion among a single pool or group of persons who have paid or promised a thing of value for a ticket that represents a chance to win a prize."
Only a qualified religious society that has been in existence in Texas for at least 10 years; a qualified volunteer fire department that operates firefighting equipment, provides fire-fighting services and that does not pay its members other than nominal compensation; a qualified volunteer emergency medical service that does not pay its members other than nominal compensation; or a qualified 501(c) tax-exempt, nonprofit organization that has been in existence for at least three years may hold raffles in Texas under CREA. Individuals and for profit businesses may not hold raffles.
Do I have to register or obtain a permit to conduct a raffle?
No. You just have to qualify under the law.
How many raffles may be held?
Each qualified organization is allowed two raffles per calendar year.
What if a raffle cannot be held on the date scheduled?
The organization may set another date not later than 30 days from the original date. If the prizes are not awarded within 30 days of the original date, the organization must refund the ticket money to the purchasers.
For what may the money raised be used?
All proceeds from raffles must be used for the charitable purposes of the organization as defined by CREA 2002.002(1).
Can I advertise and sell tickets on the Internet?
CREA states that the organization may not promote or advertise a raffle statewide, other than on the organization's website or through a publication or solicitation, including a newsletter, social media, or email, provided only to previously identified supporters of the organization. Selling or offering to sell tickets statewide is prohibited. The term statewide has not been defined or interpreted in any known court proceeding or Attorney General Opinion, but it is generally thought that statewide would include the Internet.
May I hire someone to organize and conduct the raffle?
No. The organization may not compensate a person directly or indirectly for organizing or conducting a raffle. A member of the organization who is employed by the organization may organize and conduct a raffle, but the member's work organizing or conducting a raffle may not be more than a de minimis portion of the member's employment with the organization.
What must be printed on the tickets?
Can I give cash prizes?
No. Cash prizes are strictly prohibited. "Money" is defined by CREA as "coins, paper currency, or a negotiable instrument that represents and is readily convertible to coins or paper currency." See 2002.002(1-a). A certificate of deposit is a prohibited prize. A U.S. savings bond and a prepaid, or "stored value," credit card is not prohibited.
Is there a limit on the value of prizes?
Yes. For purchased prizes, the value of each prize may not exceed $50,000. For a purchased residential dwelling, the value may not exceed $250,000. There is no limit on the value of donated prizes.
Do I need to have the prize on hand at the time of the drawing?
CREA states that the organization must have the prize in its possession or ownership or it must post a bond with the county clerk of the county in which the raffle is to be held for the full amount of the money value of the prize.
How do I post a bond with the county clerk?
Unlike raffles and bingo, there is NO exception to the gambling law in Texas for nonprofits to hold poker or casino night fundraising events. The gambling law, Chapter 47 of the Penal Code, applies to nonprofits and to for profits equally. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. §47 (Vernon 2003).
What if the poker tournament or casino night is held in a private place?
It is legal for individuals to play poker or other casino activities in a private place, defined as "a place to which the public does not have access." They can bet money and win money. However, all money must be redistributed to the participants. The "house" cannot keep a cut, thus it would obviously be difficult for a nonprofit to raise funds in this way.

President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Columbia Regional Airport, Thursday, Nov. 1, 2018, in Columbia, Mo. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
Trump campaigns in Missouri in hopes of unseating McCaskill
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — President Donald Trump implored voters to reject Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, telling a raucous crowd on Thursday that "she'll never vote with me."
Trump appeared at an airline hangar in Columbia as part of a massive campaign tour. He said McCaskill has "been saying nice things" about him, but he argued that she would not support his agenda. A check of her record, however, shows that she votes with the president about half the time.
Trump said McCaskill's Republican challenger Josh Hawley "will be a star."
It was Trump's second rally in an 11-stop, eight-state tour designed to boost Republican turnout. He will appear twice in Missouri, a state he won by nearly 19 percentage points.
McCaskill is among a number of vulnerable Democrats running in red states. She is a top target for Republicans seeking to expand the party's slim 51-49 edge in the U.S. Senate.
McCaskill is pitching herself as a moderate as she seeks to hold onto her seat. She has sought to distance herself from "crazy Democrats" and said in an appearance on Fox News that she supports Trump's efforts to secure the southern border. Hawley has dismissed her efforts and argues that she is not the right fit for an increasingly conservative state.
Two publications that track how senators vote with the president show that McCaskill votes nearly half the time with Trump, though she has not sided with him on many of his most important policy issues or Cabinet nominations.
The president has made his hard-line immigration policies the center of his closing argument, trying to raise anxiety about several caravans of Central American migrants traveling to the southern border and threatening to end the constitutionally enshrined right of birthright citizenship by executive order.
