Arkady Petrov, The Rio Times - 16 hours ago
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The chance of a son repeating his family's low schooling in Brazil is twice as likely as in the US. On average, almost 6 out of 10 Brazilians (58.3%) whose parents did not complete high school in 2014 -the last year for which data is available- also stopped studying before […] The post In Brazil, the chance of a son repeating his father’s low education is twice as high as in the US appeared first on The Rio Times.

Gunman Rob Aaron Long opened fire in three Asian-owned spas in the Atlanta, Georgia area on March 16, 2021, killing Yong Ae Yue, Hyun Jung Grant, Suncha Kim, Soon Chung Park, Delaina Ashley Yuan, Xiaojie Tan, Daoyou Feng and Paul Andre Michels.* Six of the eight victims were Asian women.

WHO Calling For Rapid Transfer Of COVID Vaccine Technology To Weaker Economies To Solve Bottlenecks & Vaccinate World Ultrafast
Robert Walker, Science 2.0 blogs - 16 hours ago
We have major bottlenecks with producing the vaccines, but the WHO say that it doesn't have to be like this. We already have millions of extra doses of COVID today because of the early technology transfer by AstraZenecs at the end of last year. This empowers the rest of the world to make the doses, which greatly increases vaccine supply and helps to end the pandemic fast. Novavax is also in the process of transferring technology in the same way, ready for when it gets approved. However most vaccine manufacturers are not doing this and as a result we are missing out on many millions...

Biden’s Foreign Policy Hire Considers Sanctions An Art Form
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Under the Trump administration, the United States imposed a wave of aggressive sanctions on countries like Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela—inflicting suffering on their populations and hampering the countries’ ability to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Biden administration is now conducting a review of US sanctions policy, and the potential consequences of these punitive economic restrictions, to determine which of former President Donald Trump’s sanctions it will keep. The new administration has the ability to roll back many of these brutal sanctions, but isn’t expected to stray ...
