Democratic State Senator Diana DiZoglio, of Methuen, introduced legislation to pardon Elizabeth Johnson Jr. who was 22 when she was wrongly convicted of being a witch and sentenced to hang. However, she was never executed. DiZoglio said she was inspired by students in an eighth-grade civics class at North Andover Middle School. Teacher Carrie LaPierre and the students extensively researched Johnson and how she could be pardoned for her conviction that was never formally cleared....

This will also give the guy a chance to prepare himself a bit for what you have to tell him. Before you text him anything, take a little time to plan. It might help to write down exactly what you want to say ahead of time. “I just found out I’m pregnant. I already took a test and confirmed it with my doctor. ” “I’m going to have a baby, and I really need your support right now....

You can find wild Magnemite in New Mauville and on Route 110. You can find wild Skarmory on Route 113. You can find Bronzor at Mt. Pyre, but it is a Hidden Pokémon that won’t appear until after defeating Groudon/Kyogre. If you’re trading remotely with someone, you’ll need to have entered their Friend Code to add them to your list of players. If you’re trading with a friend in real life, you just need to be in the same room with wireless enabled for both systems....

In a pinch, you can use a wet piece of toilet paper or paper towel. (Make sure that it is soft and not the slightly abrasive ultra-cheap stuff. ) Baking soda toothpaste is recommended. Never apply the toothpaste in a circular motion. It scratches the disk furthermore. Get a dry cloth and add a small amount of car polish to it, such as T-cut. Rub in circular motion for 15-20 minutes, then wipe dry....

According to the state’s epidemiologist, 192 of 211 nursing homes in Mississippi are experiencing outbreaks, or about 91 percent. However, while residents are being affected, they are not the primary source of cases. “The majority of the cases we’re seeing are brought in by the staff,” Dr. Paul Byers told local news station WAPT 16, “the infected staff who may become infected outside of the setting and then bring it back to residents....

Walensky announced the data during a White House COVID-19 task force press briefing on Thursday. “We continue to see cases, hospital, hospitalizations and deaths, increased across the country. And now, over 90 percent of counties in the United States are experiencing substantial or high transmission, as we have been saying, by far, those at highest risk remain people who have not yet been vaccinated,” Walensky said during the briefing....

A poll conducted by Morning Consult between July 23 and 26 found 94 percent of respondents either planned to wear a mask always or sometimes in the next two weeks. The latest results appear to show the level of uptake of face masks has increased in the last three weeks. In a Gallup survey, taken between June 29 and July 5, results showed nine in 10 people said they had worn a face mask at some point in the last week....

As the clerk calls the roll, Tom Daschle, the normally mild Democratic leader, bursts through the center double doors, raises his hand and shouts, “Aye.” Patty Murray, who came to the capital as a self-described “mom in tennis shoes” reformer from Washington state and ended up heading the Democrats’ soft-money committee, looks peeved about something. It turns out Common Cause lobbyists have been making the young receptionists in her office cry with their ginned-up calls threatening to wreck Murray’s reformer reputation if she votes nay....

Aggressive outreach is the least controversial form of affirmative action. Many employers advertise job openings in African-American newspapers and interview at women’s colleges. The Labor Department requires firms receiving federal contracts to establish hiring goals for women and minorities-and deadlines for getting there. Many universities set up similar targets for admissions and faculty hires. Goals sometimes lapse into rigid quotas in which employers or admissions directors must hit a specific number of minority hires or students....

The TV spot, which popped up in prime-time shows like “Friends” last month, is part of a $40 million ad blitz that the long-troubled Polaroid Corp. hopes will sharpen its image with a new generation of shutterbugs. The early returns look good: Ad Age calls the series “a masterstroke,” and this week Polaroid will roll out a new spot. New CEO Gary DeCamillo says the ads are just one step in the company’s turnaround....

But the memo is hardly secret. NEWSWEEK, which exclusively obtained a copy four months ago, has reported its substance in two different stories since June 17. Freeh and Constantine use dramatic language in urging Clinton to escalate the drug war, but the basic facts come from government reports: that 11.2 million Americans have used illegal drugs and that 2.7 million are ““hard-core’’ users. The memo says cocaine and heroin are cheap and plentiful in the United States and that Afghanistan, Bolivia, Colombia, Myanmar (Burma), Pakistan and Peru are primary ““source countries....

The extraordinary case of Zahra Kazemi, a 54-year-old photographer with both Iranian and Canadian citizenship, has exposed the operation of shadowy security services in Iran and brought international condemnation on the government. Two weeks ago a U.N. committee passed a resolution, drafted by the Canadian government, slamming Iran for human-rights violations. Perhaps more importantly, Kazemi’s death has sparked a major fight between the reformist-dominated majlis, or Parliament, and the hard-line judiciary....

So much for inclusiveness. Thirty years after the first women’s studies program arrived on campus, at San Diego State University, the field is under attack–and not only from feminism’s usual foes on talk radio and the right wing. This time, a small band of feminists, citing incidents like the one at Colgate, is railing against women’s studies programs in colleges and universities. Some of the accusations are almost petty (a women’s studies professor refused to enter a sorority house where she had been invited to speak on sexual harassment), but others go to the heart of what a liberal-arts education should be....

Outright climate denial, long a staple of the GOP, is no longer an option now that the impacts are plainly evident to the person on the street. We are dealing with a crisis that threatens the health and wealth of all Americans, whether young or old, rich or poor, black or white. And while Democratic voters have been clamoring for climate change–themed primary debates, the Republican Party finally seems to grasp that a substantial number of its voters feel concern and support action....

Dec. 7, 1991: a date that will live in anxiety. Few subjects cause more hand-wringing in Japan than the approaching anniversary of Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto’s surprise attack on the heart of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The Japanese are “hypersensitive” about it, says a Western diplomat in Tokyo. AERA, a widely read Japanese newsweekly, just ran an exhaustive article on the anniversary, and last Thursday the popular Tokyo Shimbun bore a headline that screamed: FIFTY YEARS SINCE PEARL HARBOR, REEMERGENCE OF THE NIGHTMARE!...

The stresses are not merely the byproduct of high-school competition that would embarrass the characters of “Lord of the Flies.” (No, budding English-lit majors, there won’t be a quiz on that novel.) Nor were they created by magazine rankings, private counselors or nudging grandmas. Fact is, the numbers tell a striking tale over the last generation. Consistent with demographic predictions, the total of high-school graduates has been going up over the past decade (nearly 3 million in 2003)....

The policy on tardiness and absences. If a professor will fail you after three tardies or unexcused absences, you’ll want to pay close attention to be present and on time. Assignment due dates. Is there homework due weekly? Daily? Make sure you understand how the coursework is structured. Tests and test dates. If you aren’t a good test-taker, and the course grade is solely based on three test scores, this might not be the right class for you....

If you’ll be reading, it’s a good idea to load several e-books onto the same device. This makes your homework more portable, and ensures you don’t run out of things to do.
