"You're a Catholic," the reporter said. "What's your reaction?" Here is what she said (she ended with a reference to Cordileone expressing her disagreement). "Yeah, I'm Catholic. I come from a pro-life family. Not active in that regard. Different in their view of a woman's right to choose than I am. In my right to choose, I had five children in six years and one week.

Camden County is one of eight counties that the New Jersey Department of Agriculture has placed under quarantine as part of an effort to contain the spread of the destructive pest. “The state is asking all individuals and businesses travelling in and out of a quarantined county to inspect vehicles and outdoor items such as packing bins, firewood, paving stones, and lawn equipment for egg masses that should be destroyed,” said Commissioner Carmen Rodriguez, liaison to the Camden County Mosquito Commission which is overseeing the county’s effort to combat the insect. “To properly destroy the egg masses, the USDA recommends scraping the mass into a plastic zippered bag filled with hand sanitizer, then zipping the bag shut and disposing of it properly.

LeoWolfert/Shutterstock.com Access control is paramount for good cybersecurity, whether this relates to a small business or a larger corporation. A smaller business generally means one that employs below 10,000 employees, whereas a larger multinational corporation can employ hundreds of thousands of personnel. Adequate data security, referred to in the industry as information security, is a key part of modern company management for any modern business dealing with a large amount of corporate/sensitive data. Billions of users are online today, and millions of organizations have a digital presence which would be an out-of-control cybersecurity situation if it were not for access control policies. This especially rings true if corporate data can be profitable for cybercriminals, or nation-states. Therefore, this data must have a significant factor of satisfactory cybersecurity measures in place, particularly when that concerns the safety of data like financial and corporate data. Furthermore, a good access control policy consolidates...

What's the Difference Between Juices? If you've spent any time at all reading about vaping, you've probably read some crazy statistics about juice. Some say it's 90% flavor, 5% flavoring, and 5% nicotine. Others say it's 90/10/1, respectively. The truth of the matter is, there is no right percentage of any one ingredient. There are thousands of flavors manufacturers produce. Each manufacturer has its own preferences for juice blends. Some people prefer more intense flavors, while others keep things simple with a balanced or mild flavor. You might even...

Patrick WallSep 23, 2021/ CHALKBEAT Even as COVID forces students to quarantine, Newark’s traditional and charter schools are limiting who gets notified — and officials won’t share the COVID case count. Erica Seryhm Lee for Chalkbeat School had been in session less than a week when first graders at McKinley Elementary School were sent home. Someone in their classroom had tested positive for COVID. They were among the first students at their Newark school ordered to quarantine, but they wouldn’t be the last. Since classes started Sept. 7, dozens of students across multiple grade levels have had to quarantine for 10 days at a time, according to parents and staffers. But rather than inform families, the school appears to have kept that information under wraps. As a result, some families said this week they weren’t aware of any quarantined students or COVID cases at McKinley. “We’re not allowed to tell...

TRENTON – A component of the Murphy Administration’s strategy to ensure New Jersey becomes more resilient to climate change, the Department of Environmental Protection will restore 10,000 acres of globally threatened Atlantic white cedar forests to the state’s Pinelands region, Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette announced today as part of the State’s recognition of Climate Week. New Jersey’s Atlantic white cedar forests have been adversely impacted by climate change, including by sea-level rise and storm surge that have brought saltwater into these fragile freshwater ecosystems, leaving ghost forests where thriving Atlantic white cedars once stood. “This is the largest forest restoration project ever undertaken in New Jersey and the largest ever in the nation restoring Atlantic white cedars,” Commissioner LaTourette said. “Through this project, we will reestablish once-dominant stands of Atlantic white cedar, but at higher elevations less vulnerable to rising seas and saltwater intrusion and provide habitat for globally rare...

Trenton, NJ – After a disaster, scam artists, identity thieves and other criminals often try to take advantage of disaster survivors. Federal and state emergency management officials urge residents to watch for and report any suspicious activity. When a disaster strikes, unscrupulous people may try to take advantage of survivors by posing as official disaster-aid workers trying to help survivors complete their applications. Common post-disaster fraud practices include: Fake offers of state or federal aid: Federal and state workers do not solicit or accept money. FEMA and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) personnel never charge survivors for applying for disaster assistance, inspections or help in completing applications. Phony property inspectors: FEMA inspectors will never ask for your social security number. No government disaster assistance official will call you to ask for your financial account information. If you doubt a FEMA representative is legitimate, hang up and call the FEMA Helpline...

The world of investment is constantly changing and evolving. However, those who are able to grasp the fundamentals and the various asset classes can benefit substantially over the long run. Bonds The term "bond" refers to a type of debt instrument that is a loan granted through an investment company to the borrower. A typical bond is either a company or a government agency.

Patterns of methamphetamine use have become riskier, diversified across U.S. population. Overdose deaths involving methamphetamine nearly tripled from 2015 to 2019 among people ages 18-64 in the United States, according to a study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health. The number of people who reported using methamphetamine during this time did not increase as steeply, but the analysis found that populations with methamphetamine use disorder have become more diverse. Published today in JAMA Psychiatry, the study suggests that increases in higher-risk patterns of methamphetamine use, such as increases in methamphetamine use disorder, frequent use, and use of other drugs at the same time, may be contributing to the rise in overdose deaths. “We are in the midst of an overdose crisis in the United States, and this tragic trajectory goes far beyond an opioid epidemic. In addition to heroin, methamphetamine and...
