  • Products like brush-on whiteners, strips or trays can be purchased online, at pharmacies and grocery stores, etc. Higher-concentration at-home whiteners can be purchased through your dentist.
  • However, it is recommended that the best time to begin an at-home whitening regimen is after a professional dental cleaning
  • Certain whitening treatments (like Zoom) incorporate a high-intensity light to help activate/enhance the bleaching process. Results will be visible immediately, though the full effect of treatment will not be seen for a couple days.
  • Your dentist will “prep” your teeth to clear away plaque and debris prior to treatment. In addition, a thorough dental exam will be performed to ensure optimal tooth and gum health. Pre-treatment photos may be taken to let you see the before and after changes.

  • You’ll need plumbers, electricians, drywall, tile and window installers, carpenters and painters. You also need to arrange and time the delivery of appliances and supplies so that everyone has the necessary materials for each stage of the project. Finally, your county may require a building permit and plumbing and electrical inspections at various completion points.
  • On the other hand, if the project will take several weeks to complete and involves permits, inspections and multiple different skilled professionals, you probably need a general contractor.
  • No one wants to pay for more expertise than they need, so you shouldn’t hire a general contractor unless you’re tackling a fairly complicated project.
  • When a general contractor supervises the project, you know everyone will follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
  • Licensed general contractors take responsibility for the entire worksite which means they carry worker’s compensation and liability insurance. If a worker is injured on the job or your property accidentally damaged, the contractor handles the situation. In short, if something goes wrong, the general contractor is financially responsible for making it right.
  • That includes securing the proper permits for the project and hiring, scheduling and overseeing the work of other subcontractors such as carpenters, plumbers and electricians.
  • A simple general definition for a contractor is someone who coordinates and supervises every aspect of a building or remodeling project.

  • For the Annales scholars, history's central subject was not political events and leaders, but _“l'homme”_: human beings whose world was to be rediscovered through research into the evidence concerning topics as diverse as fields, forests, huts, chapels, and counting rooms, as well as libraries, courtrooms, and palaces.
  • Instead, the historian was to take a more active interpretive role, arranging the material so as to integrate, for example, bygone economic practices with the prevailing social and political forms of their era. The historian was to probe the evidence to discover the assumptions and perceptions distinctive to an age. These made up its “mentalité.”

  • Having a lower minimum wage for tipped jobs results in dramatically higher poverty rates for tipped workers.
  • There are 1.3 million tipped workers throughout the country who are paid as little as $2.13 per hour because Congress has not lifted the federal tipped wage in 30 years.
  • For example, minimum wage increases in the late 1960s explained 20% of the decrease in the Black–white earnings gap in the years that followed, whereas failures to adequately increase the minimum wage after 1979 account for almost half of the increase in inequality between women at the middle and bottom of the wage distribution.
  • A $15 minimum wage would begin to reverse decades of growing pay inequality
  • Affected workers who work year round would earn an extra $3,300 a year—enough to make a tremendous difference in the life of a cashier, home health aide, or fast-food worker who today struggles to get by on less than $25,000 a year.

  • When economists were asked what effect a $15.00 per hour minimum wage will have on small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, nearly 7 out of 10 economists (67%) believe it would make it harder for them to stay in business.
  • Research findings are not unanimous, but especially for the US, evidence suggests that minimum wages reduce the jobs available to low-skill workers.
  • The potential downside is that a higher minimum wage may discourage firms from employing the low-wage, low-skill workers that minimum wages are intended to help.

  • While some people may benefit with an increase in their hourly earnings, other employees will be let go to save costs. Employers may elect to cut hours across the board for everyone. Whichever way the employer goes, some of the workers will be in a worse situation. Seattle’s move to $15 an hour, a few years ago, resulted in workers given fewer hours and experiencing a net loss in pay.  
  • If the restaurant raises prices too high, then they’ll lose their customers to other restaurants that either pay people under the table—skirting the laws—or deploy technology.
  • If employees work eight hours a day each week, over the course of one year, the labor costs will be $436,800.
  • It's easier and less expensive to have technology take over. The unintended consequence will be that there will be far fewer jobs available for those that need them most.
  • Large corporations with big budgets will weigh the increased labor costs and elect to invest in technology to displace workers.
  • With the increased prices, customers may elect to take their business elsewhere. Losing customers means losing income, which could result in the business having to layoff workers.  
  • Employers, especially small family and midsize businesses, will be disproportionately hurt by the extra costs incurred. The local neighborhood stores and businesses with razor-thin profits will be forced to raise prices to make up for the addition labor costs.
  • The conclusion was that increasing the federal minimum wage would have two major impacts on low-wage workers: earnings would increase for many, which would lift some families out of poverty. However, other low-wage workers would become jobless, their family income would drop and it could place them below the poverty threshold.

  • Stem cells begin to heal the injury by stimulating cellular proliferation and local repair processes, and by reducing inflammation, resulting in pain relief and improved function. 
  • Typically, a single stem cell injection should be sufficient to yield good results and to repair most foot and ankle injuries. This is usually combined with additional platelet rich plasma injections to reinforce the activity of stem cells. We do all our stem cell procedures under ultrasound or X-Ray fluoroscopic guidance to increase accuracy and decrease the likelihood of complications.

  • Black D.C. residents fought to change their city’s unequal status during the civil rights movement, and won some key victories.
  • The 1870s system that denied D.C. residents the right vote for their own local government—as well as the congressional members and president who oversaw that government—stayed in place for nearly a century.
  • Once Black men won the right to vote in local D.C. elections in 1867, they quickly established themselves in the city’s local government
  • Despite such resistance, D.C. residents won the right to elect their own mayor and city council through the Home Rule Act, which Congress passed in 1973.
  • The first was the right to vote for the president and vice president through the 23rd Amendment, ratified in 1961.
  • one passed by the House of Representatives on April 22, 2021.

  • 2011 On March 1, the D.C. Council unanimously approves the "Sense of the Council on Calling on Congress to Admit the District of Columbia as the 51st State of Union Resolution of 2011."
  • 2011 On January 12, D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton introduces 3 bills, the first of which is H.R. 265, the New Columbia Admission Act. Over the course of the year, 15 cosponsors are added.
  • 2011 On January 5, the House of Representatives, now controlled by the Republican Party, strips D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton of her vote in the Committee of the Whole.
  • 2011 On January 4, at the first legislative session of the newly elected Council, all Council Members co-introduce a resolution endorsing D.C. statehood and urging D.C.'s Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton to introduce a statehood bill.
  • 2009 The D.C. Council creates a new Special Committee on Statehood and Self-Determination chaired by Council Member Michael A. Brown. The Committee begins an extensive series of hearings on statehood and its ramifications. Led by Council Chair Vincent Gray, nine members of the D.C. Council attend the 2009 Legislative Summit of the National Conference of State Legislatures in Philadelphia and promote statehood.
  • 2009 Congress considers granting D.C. a vote in the House of Representatives. The Senate passes the bill with an extraneous gun rights amendment added by Sen. Ensign (R-NV) that strips the D.C. government of much of its authority to regulate guns. Nevertheless, Congress does not take any action on the Firearms Registration Act of 2008, which the D.C. Council passed in order to bring local gun laws into compliance with the Supreme Court decision in Heller. The House leadership pulls the bill. Despite having a Democratically controlled House and Senate, an amendment that would prohibit the District from providing money to any needle exchange program that operates within 1,000 feet of virtually any location where children gather is added to the House version of its 2010 appropriation bill (though finally deleted from the final bill).
  • 2005 The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia holds in Banner v. United States that in prohibiting a commuter tax on nonresidents working in the District Congress was merely exercising the power that "the legislature of a State might exercise within the State" and did not violate the equal protection or the uniformity clause of the Constitution.
  • 2020 On June 1, President Donald Trump calls out numerous federal law enforcement forces, some without any identification, to forcibly remove peaceful demonstrators from Lafayette Park and adjacent streets in the District of Columbia. The incident points up the District’s colonial status and the Federal Government’s ability to usurp control of public safety in the District. Notably, the D.C. National Guard is under the direction of the President, not the Mayor of D.C., unlike all other American states and colonies, and the President can federalize the  (D.C.) Metropolitan Police Force at will. D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton has introduced bills to eliminate the President’s authority to federalize the MPD and to give the Mayor of D.C. control over the D.C. National Guard.
  • 2000 The Democratic Party’s platform says that “(t)he citizens of the District of Columbia are entitled to autonomy in the conduct of their civic affairs, full political representation as Americans who are fully taxed, and statehood.”
  • 2000 On March 20, a three judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, in the consolidated lawsuit of Adams v. Clinton and Alexander v. Daley, finds it has authority to only rule on the issue of apportionment and representation in the House and holds that inhabitants of the District are not unconstitutionally deprived of their right to vote for voting representation in the House. The court remands the issues of voting representation in the Senate and Adams' challenge to the existence of the Control Board to the single District Judge with whom the cases were originally filed, and that judge dismisses both claims. Adams' claim regarding the right to an elected state government insulated from Congressional interference is not directly addressed. In his dissent, Judge Louis Oberdorfer finds the people of the District of Columbia are entitled to elect members of the U.S. House.

  • Her statehood bill, H.R. 51, would reduce the size of the federal district and create a new state with the remaining territory with two U.S. senators and a representative, placing residents on equal footing with voters in other states. Statehood advocates contend the cause is also a fight for racial justice. If admitted, Washington, D.C., would be the first state with a plurality of Black residents.

  • The campaigning group also said that, on average, it took Facebook a week to remove fact-checked fake reports from its platform after being informed by independent groups the posts contained misinformation. The delay, according to Quran, allowed millions of people to view the falsehoods after the company knew they were bogus.
  • While the company subsequently deleted some posts, Quran from Avaaz said identical social media messages, including the same images and texts, had often spread like wildfire globally as others copied the misinformation to share it with their friends and families.
  • "We will need more transparency and better access to data for researchers to fully verify the scope and impact of false content," Vêra Jourová, the European Commission vice president, told POLITICO in a written statement.
  • So far, Facebook said that, based on the work of independent fact-checking organizations, it had labeled 40 million Facebook posts with warnings that the content may be false.
  • "Facebook, given its scale, is the epicenter for misinformation," Fadi Quran, Avaaz's campaign director, told POLITICO, adding that the company's efforts to combat the problem had steadily improved since the social network announced it would do all it could to stop the spread of such life-threatening falsehoods.

  • Millions of Facebook users will soon be told if they saw online posts containing misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic after the social networking giant announced Thursday its latest plans to contain the spread of rumors, half truths and lies connected to the public health crisis.
  • As part of its latest push to quell the spread of coronavirus misinformation, Facebook will show people who engaged with false content, which has now been deleted, messages that debunk those claims based on fact-checking efforts by the WHO. That includes claims that 5G mobile networks can spread the disease and rumors that hot climates can render people immune — posts that have since been removed.

  • But not all of their wages have to come from the company. In many states, employers pay tipped workers a sub-minimum wage floor, which amounts to $2.13 at the federal level and is higher in some states. Customers pay the rest in tips. If those tips don't bring employees up to the minimum wage, companies like Darden are required to make up the difference
  • "If Darden were serious about making sure their employees were paid enough money to live on they would raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour, and give the employees their tips on top of that pay," said Saru Jayaraman, president of One Fair Wage, in an emailed statement. She dismissed Darden's move as a stunt.
  • Worker pay has been a hot topic as advocates push to raise the federal minimum wage. One part of that debate is around the tipped minimum wage. The bid to raise the minimum wage, which was ultimately left out of the president's $1.9 trillion relief bill, included the elimination of the sub-minimum wage.
  • Darden said Thursday that starting next week, hourly restaurant employees will earn at least $10 an hour, including tips, instead of the federal minimum wage or state minimum wage. The company is planning to raise that floor to $11 per hour in January 2022, and $12 an hour in January 2023. The change will impact about 20% of hourly workers, according to the company.

  • This combination of investment in people and operations works so well because the retail front line is a much more complex environment than people think. Take a supermarket, a setting full of bad jobs. In a typical supermarket, employees manage around 40,000 products. They serve more than 2,000 customers a day, who arrive at different times and want different things. They manage over a hundred sales promotions per week. There is a lot going on, and there is a lot that can be done more productively and profitably by workers who are motivated, proud of their work, and not always in too much of a rush. Of course, there is also a lot that can go wrong if workers are not trained, not motivated, or just too few in number. Wal-Mart executives are reported to have said that improving shelving alone could be a $3 billion opportunity.
  • First, these companies consider their workforce not as a cost to be minimized but as a strategic asset. They invest in their employees with the expectation that they will get even more back in terms of labor productivity, customer service, cost-cutting, innovation, and flexibility during difficult times. Most businesses consider their high-level managers and skilled professionals to be strategic assets. But these companies see their front-line people that way, too. Second, these companies make smart operational choices that enable their employees to be more productive and motivated and play a much bigger role in driving sales and reducing costs than in most retail chains. Good design in operations is the secret ingredient that makes the good jobs strategy work.
  • When I analyzed these four companies, I found that despite all their differences, they had one element in common: They all make a set of smart choices that allow them to achieve the combination of good jobs, low prices, and great results. These companies all follow what I call the good jobs strategy. It has two components.
  • We need more companies to adopt the good jobs strategy. It requires a paradigm shift in the way executives think about employees and the work they do. It requires long-term thinking. But it can be done.

  • “Independent commissions offer several benefits, including eliminating the appearance of impropriety and making elections fairer. Legislators, for instance, are four times more likely than independent commissions to create congressional districts that ‘deny voters choice in the primary’ and two times more likely to do so for general elections. This is perhaps one of the reasons why maps drawn by independent commissions face fewer legal challenges than maps drawn by politicians.”
  • Independent redistricting commissions sound like the saving grace for free and fair elections. The people who make up these commissions are not elected officials and are typically screened prior to their work by an independent entity to guarantee fair outcomes. In December 2016 the Center for American Progress released a report in favor of independent redistricting commissions stating:
  • Expanding the number of total seats would make redistricting much easier, and could better reflect our diverse communities, truly representing the voices of the people.
  • Elected state legislatures are responsible for drawing congressional district lines in 31 states, 27 of which are subject to a veto from the governor.
  • “gerrymandering” originates from an 1812 incident in Massachusetts where Governor Elbridge Gerry re-drew district lines to benefit his political party
  • However, population changes are not the only reason a state may choose to change district lines
  • On paper, redistricting sounds easy. Following the decennial census, states re-draw district lines to reflect the changes in populations over the past ten years
  • Partisan gerrymandering occurs when district lines are drawn to give one political party or group an advantage over another

  • From Europe to Asia, leaders are rushing to adopt anti-fake news laws. France – where “fake news”, necessarily narrowly defined so as to protect free speech, has been illegal since 1881 – aims to allow judges to order the deletion of false online content in election periods.
  • Lawyers, technology experts, media representatives and free speech campaigners have expressed fears that hastily drawn-up domestic measures outlawing fake news may at best prove ineffective, and at worst counterproductive.
  • “Two once-distinct arenas – the media, and public debate – have merged and changed,” said RSF’s director, Christophe Deloire. “False and reliable information now circulates in the same channels, and ‘bad’ news circulates faster than ‘good’. We have to give a real advantage to those who produce reliable journalism.”

  • Society will be better off after it passes through this difficult period. We’ll have a better consensus what the role of journalism is in the modern age, people will value good quality accurate news and we’ll be more sceptical of what we’re told, which is a good rule to live by anyway.
  • Journalists are terrified of being called out for inaccuracies for fear of the fake news labels and taunts on Twitter (by the way, fake news isn’t the same as inaccurate news. One is a mistake, the other is malicious).
  • The charge to double check, to comb-over one more time, has reinvigorated journalism. With all of the financing problems facing the industry, the new fact-checking model provides a potential solution.
  • Fake news will be a historical point of reference for a society that needed an important conversation about journalism, facts, social media and critical analysis.

  • The money comes from ads, provided by the self-service ad technology of companies such as Google and Facebook. It is a business model that has changed little over the years, David Carroll, an associate professor of media design at the New School and an expert in advertising tech, told us. “Anybody can make a site and put ads on it,” he said. “They can easily set up a business, create content, and once it is viral, it drives traffic to their site.”

  • To be fair, social media corporations are in a difficult position. If they start policing lies, it means a person or group of people will have to act as the truth police. It means social media corporations will be subject to claims of censorship and political bias. It is much easier for these corporations to just take a step back and let politicians post whatever they want. This may be why, in the face of Warren’s attacks on Facebook and its policies, Zuckerberg has stated in no uncertain terms that Facebook has no plans to police ads that constitute political speech.
