LONDON--The UK is narrowly divided over whether prisoners should be able to take out student loans to pay for degrees, according to an exclusive poll by LearnBonds. Just under 42 per cent of British people either strongly agree or somewhat agree that “long-term prisoners should be allowed to take out student loans during their sentences to pay for degree courses”. However, it also found that 38.5 per cent of the public either strongly disagree or somewhat disagree with the right of inmates to take out these loans. Just under 20 per cent were undecided. The poll follows a recent report which said improving inmates' education would cut reoffending rates and reduce overall prison costs, according to the Open University and thinktank the Higher Education Policy...

Newswise — A rash of vaping-related deaths and injuries has alarmed physicians and public health officials. Scientists and physicians are still discerning what may be multiple causes to the deaths and injuries. Vaping manufacturers are accused of enticing teens to use e-cigarettes with candy-like flavors. At the same time, vaping has helped a mostly older generation of former smokers greatly to reduce their intake of carcinogens. Dr. Vin Gupta, assistant professor of pulmonary critical care at UW School of Medicine, says these considerations are conflated in reports about public concerns. "How do we not create another public health catastrophe by getting an entire generation hooked on nicotine and potentially gateway products for conventional cigarettes – while trying to help out an older demographic who’s at...

We all know Cory Booker has done nothing good for New Jersey. He's the epitome of the Do-Nothing Democrat. But he sure likes to blather about how much progress he's made, how much good he's done. On and on he goes. Just one problem: He's got absolutely nothing to show for it. When Booker has power, we see poverty, crime, dilapidation. And he has the nerve to say the solution to the problems he's created is to give him even more power. He must think we're stupid or something. I recently had the opportunity to address a national audience of 35 million — and I used it to call out crooked Cory Booker for failing the people of New Jersey. That's me on the One... Read more →

NJ Sierra Club Commentary On the 7th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, we reflect on our resiliency in the face of the next superstorm. Sandy was supposed to be a 1-in-100-year storm, but now it is predicted major storms will increase 1 in every 25 years because of sea level rise. We are not stronger than the next storm and the storm themselves are getting stronger. According to a 2018 report by the United Nations IPCC, we may have as little as 12 years to reach critical levels in stopping emissions before Earth reaches a dangerous temperature. “7 years ago, Hurricane Sandy delivered a devastating blow to New Jersey’s coast. Many lives, communities, homes, and coastal areas were devastated during Sandy and they are still vulnerable.... Read more →

As parents, we wrestled with what to say and do when our son started coming home wounded by bullies. by: Lisa Modifica | Greatschools.org In my first year of middle school, kids taunted me and spit on me in hallways. It didn’t occur to me to tell my parents or teachers. Finally, when a group of 20 kids threatened to beat me up at the carwash the next day, I told my older brother, who in turn informed my parents. My dad looked up my main tormentor’s phone number in the phone book and told her dad to make his daughter stop or he’d contact the police. It worked. Twenty years later, when my 11-year-old stepson, who I’ll call Josh, came home with a sprained... Read more →

Dawn Watson/CNBNews Contributor There are too many conditions that make use of the alphabet. I have a hard time memorizing the names of illnesses. Now, I’m forced to remember their nicknames. A friend of mine told me she dreaded winter because her S.A.D. kicked in. After I inquired why she was sad, she patiently explained that S.A.D. was short for Seasonal Affective Disorder. I never heard of it, but if it made her sad, I was against it. I’m pretty clear about A.D.D. but for a couple of years I thought people were talking about their kids installing house alarms. Once I got that straightened out it wasn’t as puzzling. I notice that television shows often use letters in their titles. N.Y.P.D. was understandable but... Read more →

As you probably know, Governor Murphy recently announced an executive orderthat bans personal self-defense insurance, and effectively attempts to blackmail private businesses including gun stores, firearm manufacturers, financial institutions, and insurance providers into standing down while he and his allies strip away our Second Amendment freedoms.

Your child is working hard and spending lots of time studying.
