RUTGERS STUDY: Nevada State Legislature Becomes 1ST Majority-Women State Legislature in U.S. History

 

 

Following a handful of vacancy appointments, the Nevada legislature in 2019 will become the first in the nation with women serving in a majority of seats. 32 of 63 (50.8%) seats in the Nevada legislature will be held by women, 23 in the Assembly and 9 in the Senate.

The Nevada Assembly will be majority-women (23 of 42 seats), while a majority of Nevada state senators will be men (12 of 21 seats).

Self Defense for College Students-2019 Guide To Campus Protection

(CNBNewsnet)(December 14, 2018)--Many college students and institutions are aware of the importance of personal safety and self-defense, but not everyone knows the best
ways to defend yourself. From keeping yourself prepared when out alone to knowing how to defend yourself and what to use, these rules will help in any campus. Don’t just arm yourself with a knife or stun gun, learn how to use them and how to avoid getting into a situation where they are needed. If you or a loved one are heading off to college, keep in mind these simple rules.

1.Keep off your phone

The first step to avoid trouble is to be aware of your surroundings and stay off your phone. In the modern world of college campuses it is hard to look around and not see someone staring at their phone screen unaware of what is going on around them. Especially when walking alone or at night, stay off the screen as it makes you more vulnerable to being attacked as well as increasing the chance of other dangers such as cars.

MLB Winter Baseball Meetings Continue in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort

CNBNews Sports Editor

 

LAS VEGAS (December 11, 2018)(CNBNewsnet)--  A big question at the 2018 Baseball Winter Meetings being held at the Mandalay Bay Resort is if native son Bryce Harper will be making an appearance with his wife, Kayla.  He is expected to be the biggest free agent signing in history.   His agent, Scott Boras has been seen wandering the corridors of the convention and meeting spaces. 

 

All the major league execs are in town to make a blockbuster trade and finalize their spring training rosters.  It's the first time the meetings have been held here in a decade. 

 

At the general managers meetings in early November, Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said he made an offer to Boras, which was reported to be for 10-years, $300 million.  That figure should be measured with a grain of salt as it just a starting point.  I think it will be closer to $400 million.

Dilantin Phenytoin - Medical Guide For Epilepsy

CNBNews graphics file

 

(CNBNewsnet)(May 22, 2018)--Dilantin Phenytoin is a prescription-only Hydantoin anticonvulsant. The FDA approved drug controls epileptic convulsions by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures. However, the drug controls only some types of seizures. For that reason, the doctor should review every patient independently to determine the suitability of this medicine. Users give it an above average rating.

The drug is prescribed for adults and children for management of neurosurgery, arrhythmias, and status epilepticus, in addition to management of seizures. It can be ingested, or administered through injection, or intravenously.

What You Should Avoid While on Dilantin Phenytoin Treatment

Some substances affect the effectiveness of Dilantin Phenytoin. Taking stomach acid reducers alongside this medicine inhibits the absorption of Dilantin, which increases the occurrence of seizures. Avoid alcohol also since it causes side effects by raising the blood levels of the drug in your bloodstream.

If alcohol consumption causes reduction of Phenytoin in your blood, it will cause the occurrence of seizures. Combining alcohol and this medication could impair your reactions and thinking leading to exposure to risks if you drive or engage in any activity that requires mental alertness.

Important Warnings While on Dilantin Phenytoin Medication

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the NBC Easter Sunday broadcast of "Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert":
 
One of the big myths about Christians is that they get exercised whenever some producers or artists take some liberties about the Gospel story. No, they generally don't take offense unless it is insulting, exploitative, or malicious. That is why almost no Christians protested "Jesus Christ Superstar" when it opened on Broadway in 1971. Even fewer are likely to be upset with the NBC telecast on Easter Sunday.
