Researchers from the University of Michigan and Harvard, Northeastern and Johns Hopkins universities surveyed 3,949 adults about whether law-abiding residents should be allowed to carry guns in nine public places. Restaurants (33 percent), service settings (31 percent) and retail stores (31 percent) were the only locations in which more than 30 percent of Americans thought people should be allowed to carry guns, according to the results. Support for carrying guns in public was lowest for schools (19 percent), bars (18 percent) and sports stadiums (17 percent). … [Read more...] about Guns in America: A Majority of Americans Polled Oppose Carrying Firearms in Public Places

So, in the picture, Parineeti Chopra was seen nailing intense look and all thanks to her make-up team. To give that look, the base of her face was kept warm or better we say a little dark. To get the darker skin tone, the dark liquid foundation was applied and blended all over her face and then bronzer powder was used to get that perfect skin tone. Later, her face was slightly contoured and sharply highlighted on the T-zone, the tips and the cheekbones, and on the cupid's bow. Coming to her eyes, the actress applied blue eye shadow all over her lids and dragged the same eye shadow to her lower lash line as well. With the help of fingertips, the blue kohl on her waterline was messily rubbed to add smudge. She finished off her make-up with pink lipstick, well applied on the lower and upper part of her lips. … [Read more...] about The Girl On The Train: Parineeti Chopra Nails The Intense Look With Her Blue Smudged Eyes

Martin Bazant, MIT professor of mathematics, who built an interactive model that predicts the infectiousness of COVID-19 in different environments, suggests “running strong ventilation, ideally with HEPA air filtration, and opening windows with fans for a few hours before resuming normal occupancy without masks,” he says. In other words, strategic use of windows, fans, and HEPA filters could clear the White House air in less than a day. David Edwards, Harvard bioengineering researcher and entrepreneur, adds that, “There will be dead zones where air does not circulate well—desks, seats, couches, bathrooms,” he says. These places should be identified and addressed by circulating and filtering the air. (A portable HEPA filter could handle that.) … [Read more...] about You can’t use bleach to sterilize the White House. Here’s what experts recommend instead

What does it look like to be the only developed country without a national paid family leave policy? We put our economy at risk, perpetuate systemic inequality, and compound the racial wealth gap. It’s a new mother in Arizona returning to waitressing just three weeks after her C-section to earn gas money to visit her daughter in the ICU. It looks like frontline domestic workers contracting COVID-19 in the workplace and bringing it home to their families. It looks like women rising through the corporate, athletic and academic ranks putting their careers on hold, perhaps permanently. … [Read more...] about In the face of divisive politics, paid family leave should remain a bipartisan priority
