  #COVID-19  #Statistics #CDC  #Coronavirus Despite the clear opposition to masks within the Trump White House and among its allies, Americans of all political stripes overwhelmingly support their use as a public health measure and say they wear them whenever they’re in public. Still, there are significant differences in mask-use rates at the state level. And data from Carnegie Mellon’s CovidCast, an academic project tracking real-time coronavirus statistics, yields a particularly vivid illustration of how mask usage influences the prevalence of covid-19 symptoms in a given area. Take a look. For all 50 states plus D.C., this chart plots the percentage of state residents who say they wear a mask in public all or most of the time (on the horizontal axis) and the percentage who say they know someone in their community with virus symptoms (on the vertical axis). If you’re curious about the exact numbers for your state, there’s a table at the bottom of this article. Take Wyoming and South

#Segregation #OrangeCounty #ThecaseofMendezvsWestminster WESTMINSTER (CBSLA) — A new park in Westminster will commemorate Mendez vs. Westminster School District, a landmark court case that helped paved the way for desegregation in California’s public schools. The city of Westminster and the Orange County Department of Education held a virtual groundbreaking on the Mendez Tribute Monument Park, which will be at Westminster Boulevard and Olive Street. “The case of Mendez vs. Westminster impacted us all. Yet most residents have never heard about it,” Westminster City Councilman Sergio Contreras said in the virtual groundbreaking video. “This historic court decision paved the way for later rulings that would end school segregation once and for all in our nation. By building these statues and park, we hope to further solidify Westminster’s civil rights history in the minds of residents and visitors alike.” In 1946, 9-year-old Sylvia Mendez was turned away from a school that was “whites onl

There's more than one Independence Day in the U.S. On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and announced enslaved people were now free. Since then, June 19 has been celebrated as Juneteenth across the nation. Here's what you should know about the historic event and celebration. 1. ENSLAVED PEOPLE HAD ALREADY BEEN EMANCIPATED—THEY JUST DIDN’T KNOW IT. The June 19 announcement came more than two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. So technically, from the Union's perspective, the  250,000 enslaved people  in Texas were already free—but none of them were aware of it, and no one was in a rush to inform them. 2. THERE ARE MANY THEORIES AS TO WHY THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION WASN’T ENFORCED IN TEXAS. Confederate General Robert E.

#Theshining #Room237 #StanleyKubrick #DoctorSleep #StephenKing #DannyTorrance #EwanMcGregor In his review of the 1984 film 2010, a largely forgotten sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s landmark 1968 masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, Roger Ebert referenced a quote from the poet E.E. Cummings: “I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.” For Ebert, 2001 was a work of poetry, whereas the sequel — which tried to clarify the mind-twisting ambiguities of the original film — was the equivalent of teaching 10,000 stars how not to dance. If Ebert were alive today, he might write something similar about Doctor Sleep, the sequel to another landmark Kubrick masterpiece, The Shining, that arrives in theaters today. Based on the 2013 novel by Stephen King, who also wrote the 1977 book from which the Kubrick film derives, Doctor Sleep centers on the grown-up Danny Torrance (Ewan McGregor), who is understandably haunted by childhood memories of his demen
