California to Require Vaccines for Daycare Workers

By next year, those working in California daycare centers will be required to have vaccinations for measles and whooping cough. The bill recently passed in the Senate 34 to 3 and the Assembly 60 to 16. The law was then approved by Gov. Jerry Brown following the measles outbreak at Disneyland. It was California's worst outbreak in 24 years, infecting 130 residents and two dozen out-of-state visitors. Getting measles isn't just a risk for children, but it is dangerous to any age group. A February report from the Los Angeles Times stated that more people than ever are not being vaccinated even as adults. Overall, measles vaccinations have dropped in this generation, seeing a steep decline over the last 12 years. The Disneyland outbreak had many childcare organizations scrambling...

EPA Updates Cleanup System of Contaminated Groundwater Site in New Jersey

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced last week that they have finalized changes to their groundwater remediation plans for the contaminated Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corp. site in Newfield and Vineland, New Jersey. According to a press release from EPA.gov, the changes will update the plan that's been in place since 1996 by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, who controlled responsibility of the site at the time. While that system involved groundwater remediation equipment pumping the contaminated water out and treating it, the new plan calls for a newer approach by using non-hazardous additives to add to the groundwater that will break down the contaminants. This should allow the contaminants to decline naturally. They will also cap about 1.3 acres of ...

Gold Prices Reach 3.5 Month High Thanks to Chinese Involvement and Dollar Decline

Gold is one of the most precious metals on the planet. It's been a valuable commodity used for trade for centuries, and after an up-and-down summer the price of gold as hit a three and a half-month high, according to The Wall Street Journal. The main reason experts give for the recent surge is due to investors discounting the chance the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates, and there have been a great deal of purchases from Chinese investors trying not to get beat up by the volatile stock market. “We have seen interest from Chinese consumers and investors rising again on gold,“ said Daniel Meng, analyst at brokerage CLSA in Hong Kong. “We believe this is partly related to the turmoil of A-share market and some worries about the recent renminbi depreciation.” The price of go...

Profanity Vs. Technology, Which is the Best Way to Reach Your Government?

As the winter season begins to roll in, the inevitable car damage and hazards brought on by poor road conditions is a growing concern. The repair of these roads does cost the respective cities money, but in the long-term, the reduction of damage costs as well as road accident fatalities are well worth footing the bill. With one-third of all fatal and serious car accidents being, at least, in part due to bad road conditions, these repairs should top the list of any local government. The road conditions have become so poor in some areas that individual residents have begun taking action to gain the attention of officials. The New York Post reported on a graffiti artist called Wanksy in Britain who took the initiative to force the repairs of local roads through his artwork. Cock Lane...

Shepherd One: How the Pope Flew Across the U.S.

Pools Will Soon Be Able To Disappear Into The Floor

According to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, the modern swimming pool is ready to receive a new upgrade in the form of a disappearing pool. Better known as a movable floor, this function allows pool owners to raise the floor of their pool to meet the surface, hiding the pool underneath and giving the owners a usable patio. The raised floor can hold between 20 and 60 pounds per square foot, which will be strong enough to support people, patio furniture, and even a car. Then, when the owner is ready to use the pool, the hydraulic system will lower the floor and create a pool of any depth from a shallow kiddie pool to a more advanced lap pool. The price range for the movable floors is anywhere from $300 to $550 per square foot, making it a luxury item for the time being. T...
