Comfortable weekend. Smiling African American girl reading book and drinking coffee lying in bed at home. Selective focus, panorama

It may not be surprising to know that the time spent on Facebook, Instagram and other social media has increased in the past decade. Mariam Wahby, a licensed marriage and family therapist and behavioral health service education expert in Memorial Herman Health System, said that anxiety, depression and suicide rates among young people and adults are also the same. This topic is mentioned on the health and wellness website. .

Wahby wrote: "As long as you establish contact with us, as long as you don't disconnect us, they are fine."

Her post cited a study by the Pew Research Center, which stated that three quarters of 18-24 year olds hang out on Instagram every day, and three quarters 18 to 64 Year-old young people migrated to Facebook.

The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry says that, on average, girls spend more than an hour a day playing video games, while boys spend more than two hours, and both male and female adolescents exceed this number.

No wonder I heard many people recently say they want to unplug the power in 2021, or they want to let the kids off the screen. Or both. Because I am a loyal supporter of the wisdom of this village, I sought advice everywhere and shared many great tips.

Laura Jackson said her family recently started a 30-day "no video games" program, which includes not watching other people play these games on YouTube. Part of her motivation is that too much screen time can reduce children’s frontal function.

Jackson said: "It is my responsibility to provide and participate in other activities."

Andrea Hindi noticed that her daughter had trouble sleeping.

Cindy said: "Now, one hour before going to bed, she has no screen at all, which allows her brain to slow down and prepare to rest."

Jennifer Scogin pointed out that because her son is studying at a virtual school, the meaning of the screening time is different.

She said: "However, our rule has always been that there is no screen on weekdays, and there is a four-hour limit per day on weekends." She said: "This is still the rule, so Switch, iPad/iPhone games are prohibited on weekdays. Netflix or YouTube."

Scoggin also sets limits for itself.

She said: "Once I play for two hours a day, it will shut down." "Besides, it's difficult because as a graphic designer, my work is done on the screen. I did try to point out not on weekends. Check emails or work items. I don’t have email notifications on my device either. I only check emails on my laptop, so I must deliberately check."

Bubba Monroe said that deleting Facebook from his phone was a great help.

He said: "If you want to check (it), it will force you to use your computer, and you haven't done too much checking." "Instagram is not on your laptop, so there is none or none at all. You can delete the app from your phone , And then reinstall without losing anything."

Marie Kellner also deleted Facebook from her phone.

She said: "It's amazing how many things make it easier to stay away."

Julia Gratzer said she felt that the dispute with the children over the screening time was harmful to their relationship.

She said: "I feel a little frustrated because they have to go to school on the screen all day. This is a way to connect with a group of friends and they are forbidden to meet."

However, recently the family bought a small safe, just like you see in a hotel room.

She said: "I put all the electronic devices here at night." "This is useful because it eliminates all temptations and prevents my 13-year-old child from sneaking in."

Bianca Broman pointed out that all digital content is harmless. She is trying to use online resources to further develop her hobby.

"When the time you spend in the digital world is more targeted and meaningful, and less inattentive, it becomes easier to walk away and gain some space. Trust me-participate in an hour-long flat graphic YouTube A training class to learn how to use Adobe Spark. When you are done, you will want to leave and get fresh air. Or, when you start to hurt your fingers by practicing guitar with Tony on Tony's Acoustic Session Online, you will be happy to go out Outside, it’s easy."

Anneke Self said she started doing puzzles again, reading tangible books, playing cards and walking.

She said: "I'm in progress."

Aleksa Pilc said that once all the equipment is in the closet, she and her children plan to play family games at night, read books, play outside and other things they want to do.

She said: "They complained at first, but over time they forgot their equipment." "In those days, we always had more fun together. I cherish them."

As a "computer man" for his living, Edward Ferguson found it difficult to detoxify.

He said that when his family traveled to places without internet access, his wife LaTrice triggered his shutdown switch.

"It takes (about) a week to get used to it," he said.

The work on the Seattle-light rail platform was her last job as an apprentice sheet metal worker, and Vanessa Carman was relieved. She has been able to obtain the status of a female traveller and the higher remuneration and better treatment she can usually provide for at least a year-at least for men, in fact all of her colleagues are men.

Carman is a burly figure, 5'8 inches tall, with a crow in hair, and has been treated unfairly since entering the building. After her first job as an apprentice, she was called the "rookie princess" after the sealant she used to seal the winding pipes on the ceiling of the workplace south of Seattle. Sometimes, her foreman stood by the ladder for hours and handed him the screws. Her next job was in a 30-story apartment building in nearby Bellevue. Her male colleague cut the padlock into thin slices, destroying the place’s female-only potty. When they ascended on an aerial work platform known as a scissor lift, people beat her, yelled at her, fumbled her, and pushed her groin towards her. She tortured her way of working for nothing, hoping that as a female traveler, things will become easier. 

Then came the work of the University of Washington on the light rail platform. It was 2012 and construction work has not yet rebounded from the recession. Kaman has been unemployed for several months. The project is to install decorative panels on the new railway platform. These panels were designed in the architect's shop and are characterized by blue floral bodies inspired by the various geology of the area. However, these people are responsible for the installation. Kaman was assigned a low-skill task with sandpaper covering the sides of the escalator.

At work, Kaman established a friendship with a male colleague. They talked about the safety topics she insisted on at work: children, cooking, keeping pets. She bought a birthday present for her colleague, a gift card for a coffee shop, and also gave his son a bicycle rack that had run out of bicycles. In most afternoons after the end of the working day, they took a shuttle bus from the work place to the parking lot to catch up with their working day. But one afternoon, Kaman missed the shuttle bus, so she walked about a mile past the tall glass and steel building on the University of Washington campus. Halfway through, she heard the piercing screams of the bicycle and stopped, feeling someone grabbing her hips from behind. She thought it was a colleague of a friend. When she realized what had happened, he peddled it.

"I still don't think the voice of representing women in the blue-collar industry has arrived."

These waitresses told her stories about women who complained about dirty jokes or flirted too much (or not enough). She worries about what it means for male colleagues to tell other women not to be that woman. But she was very angry. The next day, she told her colleagues what had happened. He notified the supervisor. She said that soon, a company boss showed up at the job site and ordered Kaman to huddle with her colleagues. She recalled: "I don't want to fire any of you." "Comb it out." When they started to burst into tears, Kaman lowered his head and closed his eyes. "Suddenly, are you threatening me to be fired?" she thought, but she was too scared to speak.

The next day, Friday, after working four days a week, most of the crew returned home. The waitress who fumbled her was the acting foreman. Kaman appeared to work in the light rain. When she waited for the elevator to transport it to the underground, she called for the elevator, and her colleague came over. She recalled: "There is no job for you." "Go home." At almost 7 in the morning, rainwater seeped into the insulated work clothes under the jacket. She drove home and set up the company's headquarters in another city. She recalled that the shop owner apologized and promised to pay for the day and take action. But on Monday, her colleague was still there.

The next day, he was there the next day. One afternoon that week, Kaman returned to the work trailer from lunch and found her tool bag was covered with saliva. One or two days later, she found that the contents of the bag had been emptied and the tools had been thrown at the work site. She talked to a friend of the union, and she told her that she could file a complaint, but the union would represent her and her male colleagues, and what happened would spread. By this time, her apprenticeship was only one year before she completed and traveled abroad. She thinks she has two choices: keep quiet or end her career. (An official of the company was asked to comment on Kaman’s experience. He said he disagreed with Kaman’s description of the facts, but declined to provide specific details. "We welcome and encourage women to join the industry and make every effort to ensure they receive Treatment. Equally and with the utmost respect," he wrote in an email.

"When you are an apprentice, you don't want to shake the boat," Kaman, 43, told me when we spoke for the first time. "When someone grabs your ass, you don't say anything, when someone spit on your tool, you don't say anything, you don't say anything."

The apprenticeship is almost as long as the job itself, but in recent years, policymakers on both sides of the aisle have begun to accept them as an alternative to four-year universities. When Tom Perez was former President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Labor,

"Another university-no debt." The administration of former President Donald Trump also promoted apprenticeship. Labor specialists who require large-scale retraining of workers displaced by the coronavirus

Apprenticeship is a solution. These plans are usually carried out by a partnership between the union and the contractor, providing workers with free classroom training and on-the-job guidance as they gradually increase their wages. But in fields that are generally considered female jobs (such as early childhood education,

. Historically, only in male-dominated fields such as architecture can apprentices provide a real gateway to the middle class. For women, these training programs are usually in a hostile and even dangerous environment.

Man composition

And almost all leaders tend to view women as intruders, often depriving them of equal training and job opportunities. "Every woman faces discrimination; if not, she will." Former electrician Meg Vasey told me that he is now the operator of Tradeswomen Inc., a non-profit organization in Oakland, California. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made gender discrimination in the workplace illegal, and before and after the regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor were enacted, Vathy began to get involved in this industry in the late 1970s.

Gender discrimination in apprenticeships requires the sponsors of these programs to recruit more women. Today, more than 40 years later, there are still female apprentices

It was 3% at the time. Essentially, women have been promoted to the middle class from one of the clearest ways.

Patricia Shiu of the Federal Contract Compliance Program Office of the Department of Labor, led by Obama, said: "To be honest, this is a sad comment." "During the OFCCP tenure, we are ensuring that more women and People of color have not succeeded in working in the construction industry." She added: "You can write a prescription until you blush, but unless you have leadership, culture and high-level commitment, you can truly include life in the goal of equal opportunities. Otherwise they will not survive."

In my interviews with more than 40 businesswomen, most people told me that they were abused because of their gender. I have heard stories about men catching women and getting away with it, while women getting away with it, being told to go home to work in the kitchen, being given the most dangerous jobs, and jobs that prevent them from learning the precious skills needed for their careers. The uniformity of some abuse stories is amazing: the women who yelled out said that their tools were stolen or destroyed, the union refused to send them to work, or that they were blacked out across the industry. The story told by the women is: tied to a chair with shrink wrap and lifted high on a scissor lift. However, many of these women love their jobs, not only pensions, health care and wages, these money is enough to support the family, vacation and retirement, but also passionate about manual labor and skills.

When #MeToo movement

In 2017, a prominent figure in Hollywood, the press and academia rankings, businesswomen wondered if this would lead to changes in their industry. Legal Protection Fund of the Times

Women in the entertainment industry devote some of their resources to

Women are harassed in blue-collar workplaces. In California, Vasey used the momentum of #MeToo to successfully promote

Encourage contractors and apprentices to plan to recruit women and establish a workplace culture to protect them. She told me: "But I don't think there is a voice." "I still don't think that the voice of representing women in the blue-collar industry has arrived." Many young businesswomen I have spoken to feel that despite the unscrupulous abuse. , But the movement has swept their industry. "I really think it has no effect," Kaman told me when they first met. However, with few allies outside the industry and little attention to their careers, women in the construction industry have begun to speak out and fight for change.

Carman grew up in Bellevue, east of Seattle, and is the only girl in a family of four children. Her grandfather had immigrated from Costa Rica from a tuna boat when he was 16 years old. He was a fisherman’s engineer and took a boat to and from Alaska. Carman's father followed him in the industry and worked as a construction operations engineer in the Seattle Center, the city's downtown entertainment center. But the women in Kaman's family tend to stay at home, and she didn't consider working in the construction industry until her 20s.

Kaman and her three siblings only partially play their roles. Joe is a charismatic troublemaker. She dropped out of high school briefly to chase a girl, and then ran for class monitor on a platform that held a large gathering and won. Mike is the one who makes peace, the closest to Carman in age. Damien is a baby, and his family adopted him after his biological father abandoned him. Kaman is the girl. When she was young, her father insisted on putting on clothes, but after school, she would put on corduroy pants and play with her brothers outside. In high school, she, Joe, and Mike begged their parents to join the gym. For most of the weekend, they lifted weights, ran on treadmills and played pickled balls. Carman was able to bench press 175 pounds as a teenager.

After graduating from high school, she found jobs as a cashier and barista, and later helped with wholesale florist books. In that job, she spent the entire day in front of the computer in the basement of the brick warehouse with flowers she had never seen before. One day, her brother Mike started working in non-union heating and cooling. She asked her sister to help him repair the furnace at the nearby Uncle Snohomish’s house. Kaman Ed shrinks in the basement, watching her brother bend the sheet metal into a new hearth. Kaman knows that she prefers this kind of manual labor to the occupation behind the desk.

"You can write a prescription until you blush, but unless you have leadership, culture and high-level commitment to truly include life in your equal opportunity goals, they will not survive."

Carman started applying for jobs that could use both hands-dozens of positions, in plumbing, sheet metal, and one at a dog fence company. But no one called her back. She didn't start answering the phone until she changed the name on the resume from "Vanessa" to "Van". However, once the business owners learned that she was a woman, their interest in hiring her disappeared. They were unwilling to hide their sexism and questioned whether she could lift heavy pipes and tolerate the itch of insulation. Around that time, Kaman applied to the local union, hoping to join an apprenticeship program, but learned that she did not have any job.

For a while, she was engaged in non-union work, doing sheet metal work in the house. Kaman liked the job and helped repair the gas pipe in the Seattle mansion, where she caught a glimpse of the private bowling alley, wine cellar, and panic room. But by this time, she raised three sons by herself. She knew that the union’s apprenticeship would provide free education and better health insurance. Kaman visited the local sheet metal union, took a 20-minute math test there, and had a brief conversation with the apprentice coordinator. By the beginning of 2008, the construction industry began to prosper. The union has absorbed almost everyone, including women. "I think they don't necessarily want me," Kaman told me. "They want someone, and I'm sitting in front of their house." During induction training, she walked into a large conference room in a building in Kirkland, Washington, with 70s style furniture and full walls on the wall. It's a dusty cabinet. In a crowd of about 100, she is only one of about six women.

A few years ago, Carman drove to a commercial strip near Ballard in Seattle and asked for an octopus tattoo on her left arm. She doesn't know exactly why she always likes octopuses, but it has something to do with the octopuses' multiple attack methods. They can escape from small spaces, use their suction cups to lift thousands of pounds or inked predators. The tattoo has become a totem because she realizes that she must protect herself like an octopus. At work, she began to carry a notebook to record the names of tools that male colleagues asked her to bring. Now, while she was waiting for the artificial lift and scissor lift, she began to record what male colleagues said to her and what they did to her. No one can report these things to her, and no one can listen. But writing them down made her feel powerless.  

Since entering the building, she felt that everyone wanted her to quit. A supervisor cleans her and picks up trash all day long, which prevents her from learning the skills needed to promote career development. Another made her lose his first possible opportunity. But most disrespect feels like the inevitable price of work surrounded by men. The abuse of her trusted colleague on the light rail platform is even more painful. She said: "There are bullies everywhere." "But the truth is that he did it, and it lasted so long, no one did anything. They could have moved him to the work site." She said, always It is women, not men, who are moved to another workplace or fired. She said: "That won't solve any problems."

If possible, Kaman will quit the mission. But apprentices cannot withdraw or transfer tasks, lest they risk being kicked out of the program. In addition, she also needs money, which has increased to about $30 per hour. By then, her son's father had moved out of their house in Renton, Washington, leaving her as a mortgage and raising three boys. Many mornings, she woke up before the alarm clock went off, and the worries above her head continued to circulate. She put the boys in their parents' house before dawn, and if they fell back to sleep, she brought them into the house, even though her oldest son Jonah was close to 70 pounds. Then she went to work, and the man who fumbled her worked near her every day. One day, she noticed red bumps scattered on her hands, dotted on her face. The doctor she visited blamed them for their stress.

"There is an influx of a new generation."

Finally, a few months later, Kaman was called into the work trailer. When the supervisor told her that the work was progressing slowly, she tried to hide her pressure and she would be the first person to be fired. Driving home that day, she felt that her life was rearranging herself in the right way, even though the layoffs were unjust. She called a sheet metal company where she had worked before and worked in the store. Kaman said that women with thin metal sheets usually end up in stores without proper paternalistic services because they have fewer exposure to workers in different industries and fewer opportunities for harassment. She didn't want to spend her career in the store, but it gave her the opportunity to complete an apprenticeship while avoiding more harassment. Her new supervisor nominated her for training in sheet metal installation software, thus making her a foreman. This is the first time she has received encouragement or support from the industry. The following year, in 2013, Carman walked out of the union hall with about 50 people.

After that, the work became easier, but the culture did not. A month or so later, Kaman was standing twenty feet above the scissor lift, repairing pipes in a Microsoft building near Seattle, when she shouted to the passengers below, raising her a little bit. inch. These people were stationed there for this purpose, but they refused and insisted that she get off the elevator to do it herself. A few days later, when the same man moved the scissor lift to trap her in the duct, she was working in the duct near the ceiling. She sent crazy text messages to her colleagues on her mobile phone, asking for help. She later told me: "I thought I would be killed."

Around this time, the possibility of doing something to help other women began to absorb her thoughts. There are more women participating in sheet metal apprenticeships, but few women have completed them. If there are no more women in the industry, she believes that the industry is almost impossible to become a safe place for women to work.

Kaman began to look for allies among the few female sheet metal workers she knew. There is a Tausha Sheff, an apprentice, who sits next to Kaman in the union hall and gives a class on drawing software. Liz Fong, a female traveler who worked with her last time as an apprentice, and another apprentice, Kara Cowles. Before a trade union meeting in 2015, four women went to a nearby sports bar to drink and discussed what might be needed to make women feel more welcome. Carman thinks things are simple, like giving women a chance to get support and listening may help.

She called each female apprentice from an office in the union building and asked about their struggles. The woman began to chat. In almost every conversation, sexual harassment is the top priority. Being denied training is another matter, as well as the trouble of finding parenting. A month or two later, Kaman invited all women to a meeting at the public library in Tukwila, Washington, a suburb of Seattle. Some women worry that if they speak up, they will incur strong opposition from male colleagues. But Kaman found an ally among the union’s new business managers, a man named Tim Carter, who encouraged her to advance a formal mentoring plan and a women’s committee that could make suggestions about recruiting and retaining more women. Suggestions.

"We can't save all transactions. There are many people who don't work with you, and there is nothing you can do."

This led to changes outside the local area. Kaman was invited to participate in national conferences and talked with union business managers and agents to discuss how their practices hindered women from continuing to work in the industry. She and a few other women across the country helped set up a women's committee to provide advice to the international sheet metal trade union. The timing is right: the economy is booming, and the construction industry urgently needs workers. The International Steel Workers’ Union recently became the first to provide paid maternity leave until

.

Joseph Sellers (Jr.), president of the International Sheet Metal Association, began to hear Carman and other women's voices at the conference. Sellers told me in an interview: "When I heard and heard my sister's story, I was shocked, maybe still naive." "I had a sheet metal sister told me recently that she was pinned here. It’s a job. It wasn’t 25 years ago, it wasn’t 10 years ago, it was now, this is the moment when working in North America."

I was in October 2019

, An annual meeting of women in the industry. The event gathered 2,800 people at a Hilton hotel in downtown Minneapolis. They attended the #MeToo meeting and pension meeting, and wore hard hats to take care of their hair and skin. When we met, Kaman felt very encouraged. Sellers was one of the two union presidents who spoke at the meeting.

In August of that year, union leaders voted to pass the organization’s charter to add gender-neutral language, define harassment and discrimination, and make it a controllable crime. The union also promised to double the number of female apprentices and add an amendment to stipulate that no one will be refused membership of the union because of race and gender, among other categories. Sellers is the second generation of sheet metal workers with short hair cut and white. Under the escort of a group of female sheet metal workers, they outlined these changes to the audience. He said: "Our history and our culture have always been bad, but we will change this culture one place at a time." The seller told me that he appreciated the Women's Committee and forced him to face harassment and gender in the industry. Discrimination. He said: "The Women's Committee really changed me."

Kaman's optimism and her progress with the union are relatively rare. At the Women Entrepreneur Conference, despair permeated many conversations with the women I met. One of them is Kimberly Brinkman, a water spray installer in her 50s who lives near Minneapolis. After what she described as years of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, Brinkman sued her union and two contractors in late 2019.

"Our union has been broken. Women and people of color, we will not be treated like brothers in brotherhood." Brinkman said as we sat in the hotel lobby. "We are cousins ​​far away, no one wants to talk about us."

Brinkman's abuse began in the first year of apprenticeship, in 1999. In her first job, the foreman often beat her on the radio in the workplace, insulting her loudly and asking her to run from one side of the workplace to the other to bring him tools. Workers in another industry complained. She said that she was very angry. The foreman had falsely sexually harassed Brinkman's defender and asked her to meet with the company investigator to show that she was the man's accuser. Brinkman denied her allegations, but despite this, she has a reputation for harassment. Her car was locked. In another job as an apprentice, a foreman waved to her and said, "I just want to see if I can take you away with one finger." The staff of about twenty people laughed.

Over the years, little change has been made. Brinkman said she has always been subject to a “checkerboard check,” which involves moving women and minorities from work to work, hiring them only to achieve the minimum participation that sometimes exists in public projects Target, but will be fired quickly when the target is reached. The union has only 3 women entrepreneurs out of 380 active members. But Brinkman said she has never worked in the industry for about two decades. Sometimes, she was unemployed for several years, accumulated unemployment, and then turned to food stamps to struggle from retirement. Brad Hopping, the union training director, declined to comment.

Brinkman said: "I became a dead person when I walked." Her union, like everyone else, is now more open to women, and what she and others told me is largely from the past ten years. Economic success drives the demand for workers. She said: "We have recruited a lot of women in the apprenticeship system, which is really great." "But if the culture doesn't change, we really just expanded the revolving door." Now, workers are facing permanent unemployment due to the coronavirus. , Brinkman and others worry that any progress made by women will be compromised.

I met women who opposed the local boiler manufacturer’s union in Northern California. In 2016, a female apprentice

In a lawsuit, the union failed to resign her because of her gender and retaliated against her after she complained by falsely accusing her of making inappropriate sexual comments. Seven women came forward to testify. Genevieve Leja is one of them. She told me that the apprentice instructor of the union refused to see her or train her in welding and other skills, and male colleagues verbally harassed her at the work site. The man drew the labia with chalk on the metal beams at the work site and asked Leja for her opinion on the accuracy of the drawings. Another apprentice, Sheila Walton (Sheila Walton) told me that she fumbled while polishing the boat. She said that after she complained, the union did nothing. Edith Pastor, one of the few women in the union, told me that she was denied training and must study the industry alone. She said: "Men won't help you because they say you are looking for a job from another man." Tajuana McNear told me that after missing a few months of work when his son was suffering from cancer, Learned that to continue, she must restart the apprenticeship. The case is

Before being tried in 2019. The union declined to discuss the lawsuit, but said it is working hard to recruit female apprentices.

"Our union was broken. Women and people of color, we are not treated as brothers in brotherhood. We are distant cousins, and no one wants to talk about us."

In my opinion, the unabashed hostility towards women is different from the plunder experienced by white-collar workers, which is often better covered up. In the industry, women rarely have the right to choose. The union represents all its members and may be reluctant to take a stand on either side. Allegedly, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the federal agency responsible for investigating claims of gender discrimination in the workplace and granting workers the right to sue under Chapter VII, is understaffed and provided remedies in only 18% of cases.

. According to federal law, the apprenticeship program is only for "sincere effort" to recruit women and people of color, which is a vague principle that is difficult to implement. And because of the transient nature of construction workers, it is difficult to prove that any employer or union is responsible for discrimination.

Lisa Stratton, Brinkman's lawyer, was particularly straightforward. She said: “It’s like Chapter 7 of the Civil Rights Act has never been involved in the construction industry.” “This is a systematic practice that class litigation lawyers should devote themselves to, and the reason is that they (union (And contractors) are so successful in distinguishing and keeping the number of women in each union so low, local, [class action] is not enough." Stratton won the award involving undocumented workers and paper mills and processing plants. Women's case. But in terms of construction, she said: “The law doesn’t handle this kind of situation very well.” When we met at the Women Entrepreneur Conference in Minneapolis, Stratton told me that to Brinkman The study of the case obscured her view of the legal system as a remedy. She said: "I always feel that the law has the power to change everything." "With this, I feel powerless." In July, a judge rejected Brinkman's complaint against the union, but targeted the two The contractor’s discrimination lawsuit is still ongoing.

On a drizzly afternoon last year, Carman arrived at a diving bar in Seattle to attend the monthly meeting of the Women's Committee that has been operating since 2016. She was carrying a small black toolbox filled with tampons and sanitary napkins. "Have you heard of it?" Kaman asked the two sheet metal workers who had arrived before her, Tammy Meyen and Jamie Kunnap. "Tampon?" Mayne said. Kaman explained that a female apprentice accidentally put a box of tampons on a table at the work site. She said, "These people have lost their minds." Calls, text messages and emails from male colleagues surprised her. These people were offended by seeing the tampon.

These people want Kaman to handle the matter with the apprentice, as if this is a problem that needs to be solved. These women have very different views on the immediate problem: the workplace is usually located in a remote area, far from pharmacies and 7-11, and there are almost no large potty equipped with tampon dispensers. Working unexpectedly for a period of time usually means having to take pay home. Carman came up with an idea: She handed the toolbox to a worker attending the meeting and hung it in a potty at a site of her company. In the end, she thought of assembling more of these toolboxes and then distributing them to many women, but this was only the beginning.

Kaman sat on the head of the table, and as more and more women arrived, beer, spicy wings and hummus gradually replaced Kaman's seat. The antlers hung on the wall, and the keg rang through the room. The women adopted different construction methods. Some people, such as Carman, have fathers and brothers in the industry. Others have earned a college degree and then become dissatisfied with their careers or discouraged by low pay. A young woman had heard of an apprenticeship in architecture when she was imprisoned in the juvenile justice system. But almost all people have a moment of doubt whether they belong to this industry.

"Just like Chapter 7 of the Civil Rights Act has never been involved in the construction industry. This kind of class litigation lawyers should proceed in an orderly manner. This is why class litigation lawyers should not do this because they (union and contractors) are distinguishing and maintaining The number of women in each union is so low that it is very successful, and locally, [class action] is not enough."

Kaman stood up and spoke. She thanked everyone for their contributions in the past year: the career fairs they participated in, the mentors they trained. "Our proportion of female apprentices is about 10%," Kaman reports. This number is one of the highest among locals in sheet metal-the national average is 3%. This success prompted researchers at the University of Washington to approach Kaman. They plan to help half of the locals across the country adopt the program and then study its impact on the recruitment, retention and mental health of female apprentices.

One of Carman's goals this year is to allow more women to become union leaders. She said that elections for the positions of secretary, trustee and treasurer will be held soon. A few years ago, Carman was appointed to the apprenticeship planning committee. Her photo, with curly hair and lips polished with berry red lipstick, hangs at the entrance of the union hall and apprentice training facility in a large concrete building north of Seattle. She said: "Every capable person should participate in the competition." "We must go in."

Kaman talked about the constitution amended by the union to improve the conditions of women, and the union only announced it publicly that month. She mentioned that another female traveler, Emily Wigre, designed stickers that women can distribute to male allies who train women on the job site and protect them from harassment. In this way, the apprentice only needs to look at the man’s helmet to know who to trust.

Carman's work on behalf of other women has been transformed into a second full-time job. The year before, she promoted the locals to better receive pregnant apprentices. The two female apprentices had been transferred to a new place of work during their apparent pregnancy, and they were very likely to be fired. Now, this practice is not allowed. Kaman is also committed to supporting more and more mothers to become members. One of the apprentices, Arielle Mayer, lost his baby when he was 8 months old, so Carman organized a memorial service in the union hall and opened a GoFundMe account to help pay the money . "If it weren't for her to do all of this, the experience would be different. I might still stay in it, but it's much more difficult." Meyer recalled an afternoon in March last year when she was 3 The year-old daughter stretched her legs.

Another apprentice, SJ Alexander (from the tech industry to join the union), asked Carman for help when the foreman bullied her. "The first thing he said to me was,'Do you want to quit sheet metal after pregnancy?'" Alexander recalled, he is 43 years old and has 15 and 20-year-old daughters. He warned the other apprentices not to talk to her. Whenever she asked him about job duties, he would stand less than an inch beside her, refuse to answer, yell at her until she walks away. 

Alexander stopped interacting with him, but this meant that she could not understand her job responsibilities. She said: "It's not like my previous job. You just send passive aggressive IMs." "That's an impossible situation." She had a nightmare, dreaming of the foreman standing on her bed and yelling at her. And awakened herself and her daughter with a scream. Kaman made some calls. About a day later, Alexander stood in the yard of the union staff and painted her fence, when the union representative called to tell her that she would be sent to another company. Although this meant that Alexander would have to spend a few more months of apprenticeship before traveling, she was relieved. "Vanessa did it," she recalled her thoughts.

Carman still lives in the house she bought in 2007, in a quiet middle-class suburb south of Seattle. I drove there one Sunday afternoon. There is a basketball hoop on the street in front, and footballs and footballs are lying on the grass nearby. The family’s dog, Chepe, is a spaniel, standing on its hind legs by the large front window, barking. In the back room, Carman's little boys Gabriel and Elijah are learning to make balloon animals. A rivet Rosie doll is hung on a photo frame under the TV; an octopus is printed on one wall, and there is an octopus pillow on the double seat.

As we said, Kaman's family has been hanging out. First, her parents and her brother Damian, then Mike and his son. They brought cash to reimburse her for the tickets she bought for Cirque du Soleil to celebrate the 100th anniversary of her grandmother's birth next week. As a foreman, Kaman’s hourly salary is $63, more than any of her brothers. Her family has always been very close, but in recent years, she has become the center of her family.

Kaman’s parents told me that they were proud of her dedication to other businessmen, but sometimes they wanted her to do less. Her father Stan said: "She has too many fires." "I am worried about whether her diet is correct, whether she is getting enough sleep, whether she is taking vitamins. This is true nobility, I am very I admire her, but I am very worried. She has mastered the boys and their sports and her work status, and helped those in need. But you must also think about yourself." At the same time, Carman said she has spent It took several years to realize her voice, and she didn't think she could stop.

A few months ago, in the fall of 2019, Kaman was offered a detailed job. The position is coveted and resistant to recession, and can create computerized sheet metal drawings for installation. This will also make her back, and the latter will start to bother her. But she worked behind a desk for the first time in 15 years.

The table was behind a gray dividing line with a name tag with white letters on it, and walked a flight of steps from the stairs of the sheet metal company store where she completed her apprenticeship. One working day, we drove to the building in light rain. Kaman sits behind two computer monitors all day, using the drawing software AutoCAD to piece together puzzles of colorful shapes. Sometimes she would ask the person sitting next to her for help, and then complain to me that she had to ask.

"Remember when I told me that I entered the building because I hated office work?" She said that at the end of the working day, we wandered by her minivan before driving to pick up Elijah and Gabriel from their grandparents' house. Column. "Well, I work in an office. It's a bit like being an apprentice again."

But at some point, her work on behalf of other women almost began to resemble her real profession. However, when it comes to it, although she has seen progress, she is not sure how optimistic she will be. She said: "We can't save all transactions." "There are a bunch of people who don't cooperate with you, and you can't do anything about it."

But even if she is frustrated, even if there is only one person at a time, she can still see that the industry is changing. She said of her male colleagues: “This culture has not changed, but they have seen the support given to us by our leadership, and they are afraid to do what they might have done before.” In the end, it may boil down to waiting for misogynistic problem. Her son and friends did not consider gender roles, nor did they consider the idea of ​​their mother working in the construction industry. She said: "There is a new generation of people coming in."

Falater's children both requested clemency at the 2000 sentencing hearing. Farat faces the death penalty, but the judge decided to commute him to life imprisonment. He is still in prison.

Long-time South Dakota Republican voter Jim Thompson prepares to leave the Republican Party, hoping that the exile of Donald Trump supporters like Donald Trump will punish Senator John Thune, a prominent political figure in the state. ) Trump regards Trump. Thompson, a retired rodeo announcer and broadcaster, watched Trump’s call for supporters to come to Washington to prevent Congress from proving Joe Biden’s election victory. He saw the subsequent The attack on the U.S. Capitol. But when Congress tried to hold Trump accountable for his actions, Thompson saw an agenda aimed at expelling the former president from politics and reappointing the party to Thun and others, the second-largest Republican leader in the Senate. . Thompson said: "We are tired of the way things are going, we are tired of political answers and rotations." Thun is a Republican, they condemned the riots in the Capitol, called it "terror", and promised to "hold accountability." But like most of his Republican colleagues, the senator hinted last week that he was not talking about Trump. Except for five, all Republican senators voted against impeachment trials. Although their votes are not enough to stop the upcoming trial, it is a rapid decline compared with the comments that punish Trump. It is easy to find the political motivation behind the decision in a small town in South Dakota, where voters who are still loyal to Trump will decide whether to send Thun back to the Senate next year. Although Republican leaders in Washington have a soft spot for punishing Trump, many of their voters have never dreamed of doing so. They believe that the baseless claims of Trump and his right-wing allies claim that the election was stolen and that the mob that swept the Capitol was radicalized by anti-French elements. They believe that an attempt to blame Trump for Trump's deadly siege is another attack on the presidential palace that the Republican Party has never accepted. There was no widespread fraud in the election, as evidenced by election officials across the country, including Trump’s former Attorney General William Barr. The Republican governors of Arizona and Georgia are the key battlefield states for Biden's victory, and elections in these states are guaranteed. The judge rejected almost all legal challenges from Trump and his allies, including two challenges discarded by the Supreme Court, including three Trump-nominated judges. David Buchanan, the principal of a small Bible school in South Dakota, said: "I think the whole process of impeachment is a joke." "They are trying to destroy President Trump. They see him as a threat. "Buchanan is among those who want to hear Republicans' stronger defense of Trump. On the contrary, most people argue that the impeachment trial is unconstitutional, not Trump’s innocence in the riot. Buchanan said he was frustrated to hear Thun on the radio opposing Trump's allegations of election fraud. He said: "What we see is the destruction at the beginning of the United States." Among these views, people have deep doubts about mainstream media reports and believe in another narrative-so far, this is Trang The defining characteristics of Pu's most ardent supporters, even those who have trusted the news. Brie Korkow, 37 years old from Pierre, runs a family rodeo business and liked to study political issues while working on a university debate team. But recently, she has given up hope of trusting the national media and does not know what to believe. She trusted her local newspaper, but felt that even the fact-checking conducted by the national media was no longer reliable. She said: "This can be traced back to discovering the truth about something." "With the help of social media, it is almost impossible." Although not sure what happened to the Capitol, Kokov still believes in Trump's election claims. Helps launch a rebellion. However, like the Republican senator, she believes that the impeachment trial will only be more divided. She hopes the Senate "let the past become the past." In addition, by the end of Trump's four-year tenure, Kokov said she was no longer shocked by Trump, but Republican lawmakers could still feel his spikes. When Thun disputed the allegations of election fraud against unfounded people, Trump declared that the senator’s “political career is over” and suggested that Trump’s favorite Republican governor Kristi Noem (Kristi Noem) The main challenges are presented in 2022. She quickly withdrew from next year's Thun challenge. Not yet gone, a private Facebook organization called "John Thun Elementary School in 2022" attracted more than 3,000 members. One of them, Bruce W. Whalen, said that Thun’s refusal to support Trump’s fraud accusations aroused interest. He said: "As South Dakotans, we don't understand why Thun, (Sen Mike) Lonze and (Rep. Dusty) Johnson can't see what we see." Warren had considered Going to Washington for Trump protests, he firmly believed that when Thun Whalen watched on TV that it was a mob of Trump supporters attacking the Capitol, he remembered that he almost immediately convinced them that they were actually anti-French Fist, this is shorthand for anti-fa. -Fascists are a broad description of radical leftist organizations that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists in demonstrations and other activities. Whalen gained enough support from the Republican Party in 2006 to represent the party in a statewide congressional campaign, and now sees Trump’s impeachment trial as "the noble accusation they tried to make him weak." . At the same time, some longtime state Republican figures are frustrated by the senator’s hesitation in convicting Trump. "The former governor, David Volk, said: "He should be convicted. "Volk has observed that Republican politics has been steadily hovering to the right in the past few years. In the end, he won broad support from Trump. Although he thinks Thune will not encounter too much trouble for reelection, Volk believes Noem has ensured. Trump’s political stigma continues in the state. “There are many people who want to see him say, “Go away, Trump goes away. But they can’t make him go away.” Others, such as former state lawyers Association director Tom Barnett (Tom Barnett) has given up the Republican Party; last year, after 50 years in the Republican Party, he changed partisanship, saying that he would no longer support officials who were unwilling to accept. Trump. He said that Trump “not only stole the party, but also ruined the party.” Associated Press Stephen Groves

Washington—He is a senator and a dying policeman. He wandered in the Senate cloakroom, chatted with legislators, and served as vice president. During the presidential campaign, he promoted to himself as a man who could "make people work together" and lower the temperature in Donald Trump's overheated Washington. Now, after his first full week as president, Joe Biden is facing potential restrictions on his ability to work in the aisle as he pushed for a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, which is his The first major test during the tenure. Republicans were dissatisfied with the price, and Democrats signaled that they were willing to pass the bill without Republican help, because the Biden campaign seemed to give way to a different Senate. Biden, where he once lived, paid tribute to reality. He told reporters on Friday: "If we can do it, I support the passage of COVID relief with the support of the Republican Party. But COVID relief measures must be passed-no accident." The White House Did not give up hope of gaining some Republican support for the plan, as Biden's phone list proves this. But some of Biden's courtship partners also target members of his party to ensure an agreement is reached. Since taking office, he has called Susan Collins of Maine several times, and moderate Republicans have stated that her relationship with Biden is "closer" than with Trump. According to three people familiar with the matter, Biden has repeatedly called his party’s senators, including two centrists-Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Gilston Sinema of Arizona. The plan expresses some concerns. Anonymous because they have no right to discuss private conversations publicly. Biden is a retail politician and has never missed an opportunity for small talk or small talk, but this epidemic has made him a kind of welcome, and this epidemic limits the face-to-face interaction on which he depends. But he still has his peerless phone book, established for more than forty years, dealing with senators on both sides of the political divide. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said: “When he decided to make one of these calls, he didn’t actually need a phone list. The phone list told him exactly what to say to members of Congress and how to make the bill. ." In an interview with MSNBC. "He knows. He has been well known among these people for decades." Former Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill stated that Biden "is very much like a worker in outreach, when I served as the Senate cloakroom. When Joe Biden was the vice chairman of Barack Obama, it’s not uncommon for me.” "He burned the phone line," McCaskill said. "Obama did a terrible performance in this part of the job, and Biden is good at both sides." Biden spent 36 years in the Senate and served as vice president for eight years, despite many people in both parties Arguing that the Republican Party is no longer interested in working across the channel, Biden still regards bipartisanship as a central commitment. Biden's most successful deal came from the Obama-era fiscal showdown during the rise of the Tea Party Republicans. The landmark agreement locked in tax and spending cuts for a decade and made some progressive Democrats disappointed with Biden’s compromised brand. As Vice President, Biden is a trusted messenger on Capitol Hill, and Obama served in the Senate for four years. Biden entered the Capitol at several key moments. He helped cut the 2010 deal to prevent the Bush-era tax cuts from expiring, and then negotiated the landmark 2011 Budget Control Act, which cut spending and made the country’s exit imminent. The 2012 "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and budget cuts. "Biden's main virtue as a negotiator is,'Look, you have political support, I have political support, we both must live within our political constraints,'" former Deputy Chief of Staff Rohit Kumar Say. Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. "His tone is:'I know there are things you can't do, and I won't let them become spoilers. As a senator, Biden also cherishes his relationship with colleagues, even though he is in his night commute home in Delaware. This weakened his ability to interact with other legislators. Trent Lott, the former Senate Majority Leader of R-Miss, said: "Well, I don't want to ruin him, but he sometimes works with us. Lott said that when Senate leaders tried to reach an agreement on major bills, Biden was not a person who often appeared in the conference room. However, Lott pointed out that the two main situations at the time were: the 1994 crime bill and the 2002 crime bill. After the Iraq War resolution in 1991, Biden expressed regret over these two measures. Lot still said that the relationship between Biden and McConnell is real and may pay dividends again. Lot said: “They reached a This agreement, fundamentally speaking, is an agreement they have been working on since then. "Someone in the media whispered Biden as McConnell. "However, the Senate has changed significantly since Biden joined decades ago, as senators gain status on social media, raise funds outside their home country and spend time with each other in Washington. Decrease, currency skills are different now. For senators from both parties who cultivate their own brands without having to rely on the power of the president to improve their image, Biden’s old-fashioned, one-to-one coaxing method may not be so convincing Of course, policy is also very important. The two sides have greater differences in national legislative remedies than ever before. Political scientists consider this to be a partisan difference like the rift in the Civil War era. Biden’s aides worry that the Republican Party People will continue to be frustrated, no matter how many individual calls they receive from the president or they receive a pandemic invitation after the White House's high-profile event. Their boss may be the last person to accept this advice. Biden Said a year ago: "Some people say you can't cooperate with the other party. "If so, please prepare a completely different America, a completely different world for your children. I do not believe.

JERUSALEM-The Israeli army said Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian suspected of attempting to attack troops in the West Bank on Sunday. The Army said in a statement that "armed assailants connected three knives to a stick" trying to attack soldiers at the junction of the West Bank south of Bethlehem. No soldiers were injured. The military confirmed that the suspected attacker was killed. A video shared on social media shows a person wearing a gray sweatshirt walking along the side of a highway. He seemed to have pulled something from his clothes and started running towards the soldiers. The soldier appeared to have fired, and the man collapsed. The military shared a photo of the alleged weapon, which appeared to be a cluster of knives tied to the handle of a broomstick. In recent years, Israel has seen a series of shootings, stabbings, and car crashes. Most of these attacks were carried out by lone Palestinian attackers in the West Bank, with no obvious connection to armed groups. Last week, a soldier shot and killed a 17-year-old Palestinian who allegedly attacked troops with a knife in the northern West Bank. Human rights organizations in Palestine and Israel accused Israel of excessive use of force in some cases and killed some suspected attackers that could have been arrested. Associated Press

The closer political ties between Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau may mean a more constructive and cooperative approach to the agri-food challenges of the two countries.

At her boxing club in Dartmouth, North Dakota, coach Bridget Stevens shared her experience growing up in the Escarsoni Native Country. For her, it is more important for fighters to learn how to be good and support each other than it is for them to win every game. "What I'm doing here is what our community members help each other," said Stevens, owner of the Windmill Road Tribal Boxing Club. This is why even during the pandemic, she offers free courses for young people who cannot afford it. She wants boxing to be a refuge for those who need it like those who need her. Stevens said that "Tribal Boxing" used to have about 100 people walking through the gate every day. Public health restrictions have halved these numbers and cancelled boxing matches used to help raise funds for gyms and equipment. Stevens said: "This is a struggle. It is difficult." "But my heart is like Micomo. It is a difficult time to meet people, not a good time. So I want to continue to do this. The child does this process." She now wants to provide a safe place that everyone can enter more than ever. Stevens started boxing about 20 years ago, but when she severely injured her jaw in the ring, her dream of becoming a world champion suddenly ended. Now, her dream is to help the next generation of boxers. She said: "I have been taking care of this group of children for the past five years, but I can't let them leave." Stevens is the heritage of Mi'kmaw culture and one of the few female boxing coaches in the region. One, in addition to providing beginner courses, there are also well-trained fighters who have participated in national competitions. She incorporated the traditions of Mi'kmaw into her curriculum, and invited club members from all backgrounds to participate in sweat cabins and wool girls. She said: "I'm trying to teach them my culture." "Every culture around is in this gym. My job is to teach them to love themselves." She often prays before the game. My job is to teach them to love themselves. -Tribal Boxing Club Bridget Stevens, "Sometimes people feel uncomfortable, like praying for them-this is not their culture," she said. "But everyone here will allow me because I always tell them that I don't push my culture to you. It's just because I love you, and...I need to protect you, that's what I need." Stevens said at the beginning that it is difficult to watch others realize her dream of becoming a good boxer. Now, whenever a student rings her, she is like a nervous mother. She said: "It's a good, good, and good feeling to see them grow up and see them become men and women." Since 2014, Natteal Battiste has been in Stevens (Stevens) Training is conducted even before the community club opens on Windmill Road (Windmill Road). Acadia First Nations councillor, Micomo and black woman Baptiste said: "This is really inspiring, but it also frees me from restrictions, because there are no restrictions for her." She often takes her. The daughter is almost two years old, and said that the club has become like a family. She said: "I can go to a sweat hut and be with my teammates... That is a very important moment, and it really pushes you mentally." Battiste accepted boxing at the age of 14 and was very difficult in the community. Lived in the reserve during the period. She said: "We are experiencing a lot of suicide." "I could have taken other measures to eliminate this anger and frustration, but I put it in a boxing bag, for me, it saved me. Direction."

Vancouver-Lorraine Graves barely had the strength to hold a pen for a few days, because "brain fog" made her forgetful, and the sudden deterioration of her eyesight made her computer font larger. Then there are tinnitus, insomnia and dyspnea, not to mention her chance of recovering from COVID-19 after 10 months of examinations with multiple experts to rule out damage to the lungs, kidneys, heart and other organs. "In bad days, I feel very depressed," said Graves, a reporter for a community newspaper in Richmond, BC, even though she can only work a few hours a week. All three members of Graves and his family were infected at about the same time last spring, but she was the only one who had been sick and suffering from multiple symptoms that kept her on the verge of living. Once, she had difficulty breathing so that the air in her lungs seemed to be replaced by "cassava pudding". "I remember that I thought I should call the notary public and make sure that our will is up to date because the situation doesn't look very good. I couldn't do it the next morning. I was very sick." The researchers of are trying to unravel the mystery of the so-called long COVID to help patients with various debilitating symptoms, although they are usually excluded from the statistics related to COVID-19 or considered to have recovered. In the early stages of the pandemic, testing was not widely performed. People like Graves were diagnosed with COVID-19 by the family doctor based on symptoms rather than a positive test result. Graves said: "We did not recover. We survived." Graves was referred to a clinic for treatment and research on "long-distance porters" in order to better understand the causes of their ongoing illnesses, and other People recover or not recover within a few days. There are no symptoms at all. Graves said that so far, she has actually accepted the appointment of a general physician in a clinic at St. Paul's Hospital, which is part of a network of three locations in the Vancouver area and is considered the only provincial-funded initiative in Canada. What she learned from Dr. Jesse Greiner is that patients like her must be aware of their physical, cognitive, and emotional limitations, otherwise they risk “excessive” consequences, which may mean worrying about the future . Greiner did not specifically talk about Graves' situation. He said that as symptoms continue to appear, educating patients to control the disease is an important part of treatment, and it seems that people will appear after they exceed their physical capabilities. New symptoms. People would say: "I rode for a long time because I thought I would get better." One day later, they crashed and all symptoms recovered. "He said, and added that emotional experience and anxiety about symptoms are enough to trigger a three-day relapse after this stress. "The cognitive field is a big field because people try to use their brains to complete complex Task, which may cause symptoms. He added that patients often feel that they are in a "never-ending cycle" with persistent symptoms. Glenor said the most tragic cases involved young sports patients who had climbed mountains and guided people through remote areas, but Now he can’t go up the stairs. He told the patient: “Try to find out what in your life caused you to have symptoms and try to reduce them. Then, over time, you gradually regain your ability to do things. I've seen it. "It is recommended that they practice mindfulness and slowly increase their physical activity. Greiner said that symptoms similar to the disabled chronic fatigue syndrome may last for weeks or months, and it will take some time to resolve these problems, similar to those after a concussion. Symptoms, although COVID-19 not only caused systemic damage to the brain, he said: “I do doubt that some people may never recover, but I hope that through education and making people aware of such typical patterns, this One number is as few as possible. "Greiner said that the COVID-19 clinic is made up of experts, including neurologists, cardiologists, rheumatologists, psychiatrists, dermatologists, physiotherapists and nurses. An Qi, an internal medicine expert and scientist at the University of Toronto Health Network Dr. Angela Cheung is one of two doctors leading a prospective cohort study of COVID-19 in Canada, which aims to recruit approximately 2,000 patients from Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Cheung, who works in the post-COVID clinic at Toronto General Hospital, said that treatment is based on symptoms, which may mean that some patients have been given steroid inhalers to relieve prolonged coughing. Inflammation of the airways, while other patients may take drugs to lower their heart rhythm. This research is currently funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and also involves collecting data on caregivers and genetics to understand why some people in the family cannot Recovered from the disease. Zhang said: "This is a million-dollar problem. "Is this genetic makeup or is it because of their response to the immune system?" She said that based on data from severe acute respiratory syndrome, it is believed that about 10% of COVID-19 patients may still get sick a year after the initial onset of symptoms. She also said that more research is needed to determine the outcome. How tens of thousands of people suffer in this country can be alleviated. However, Zhang said, a coordinated national approach is needed, such as establishing clinics and funding research in the UK, although this is unlikely in Canada because health care is under provincial jurisdiction.

The old crow community in the Yukon is preparing to haul goods and supplies on an ancient cat trail. This trail was made by Cat bulldozers in the 1950s and was used by oil exploration companies to move equipment in the bushes. In early February, there will be five snow cats towing a freight trailer, 260 kilometers in length from Eagle Plains in Yukon to Old Crow. Dana Tizya-Tramm, chief of Vuntut Gwich'in First Nation, said: "It's very complicated. It's almost like some kind of biblical migration. It wants to know what's going on." He said, from wood supply to leisure From the car to the groceries, everything will be loaded into a sea container and then loaded onto a 12-meter-long steel trailer. This is the second winter in which the Laoya Development Company, owned by the First Nations, will deliver large quantities of goods to the community. The development company provides the service in cooperation with the Wandering Star joint venture transportation services department outside of Whitehorse. Tizya-Tramm said: "Most of their payloads are still construction materials, because we can greatly reduce the cost of air transportation." The more cost-effective option Laoya is the fly-in community and the northernmost community in the Yukon. Most of the supplies provided to Lao Crow are provided by the local airline Northern Airlines. But starting last year, this new, more cost-effective option has also been launched in the winter. The Old Crow Development Company charges one dollar per pound for the freight from Eagle Plains to Old Crow. Tizya-Tramm said that now residents can carry large items and bulky items, which take up a lot of space on the plane. Tizya-Tramm said: "Even brought an amazing amount of dog food to the dog team. I think an order costs 60 bags. It's like a community store in Costco." Yudi Mercredi is a Vuntut Gwich'in citizen and skilled Electric welder. In the past two months, Mercredi and his small team have been building four 12-meter-high steel trailers. He said this is useful work. Merkredi said: "Oh, I mean this is very important to the community, and this is a good thing for the winter when goods that hawkers can't buy are brought to the community." "I mean, we are just here to help. Bring merchandise to the community so that Laoya can flourish and continue to provide goods for construction and other projects and materials." Many of the journeys required to transport equipment to Laoyao are very difficult for equipment (especially trailers) because they carry All weight. Merkredi said they will transport about 180,000 kilograms of cargo: everything from wood supplies, fuel to prefabricated buildings. All of this will be loaded into shipping containers and then loaded onto a 12-meter-high steel trailer with skis. Merkreddy said: "The hills are undulating, the hills are undulating. There is also the tundra. We have to cross many lakes, we have to climb, so we have to be strong." The busy summer construction season is coming soon, the Yukon Territory government built in 2014 An ice road. It allows semi-trailers to travel with trailers. But building this road is not cheap. The Yukon Territory government plans to build a winter road in December 2021 to transport supplies to the new medical center. The Yukon Housing Corporation is also planning to provide new housing for health center staff. Geordon Clark, general manager of Old Crow Development Corporation, said that there will be many buildings in Old Crow this summer. Clark said: "We are accepting prefabricated modular units. We have a restaurant consisting of five modules, and we have two motel units." He said community members will also deliver personal items, such as brand new snowflake machines. , Four wheelers and food.

Four senior NATO officials said that international forces plan to stay in Afghanistan before the May deadline envisaged by the insurgent Taliban and the United States to reach a deal with the United States, a move that may exacerbate tensions with the Taliban's demand for a complete withdrawal. The then-President Donald Trump’s administration signed an agreement with the Taliban early last year requiring the withdrawal of all foreign forces by May in exchange for the rebels to fulfill certain security guarantees. Trump praised the agreement-not including the Afghan government-for ending the Twenty Years' War.

Local Russian news media said on Sunday that despite the ban announced by Kiev, Russia has begun to provide its artificial satellite V COVID-19 vaccine to areas controlled by rebels in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian government plans to start receiving vaccines made by the West in February and ban the use of Russian satellite V. However, Ukraine has little control over Donetsk, which borders Russia, and clashes between the Ukrainian army and Moscow-backed separatist insurgents have killed more than 13,000 people since 2014.

Compared to the national school closure last spring, Monica Belyea and her children have shorter distance learning time this winter semester. But Toronto parents are already worried about the next school year. When her children, Maddie and Ben, during the COVID-19 lockdown, during the current school closures in Ontario, "let their teachers do their best", Belyea was surprised that their respective 6th and 4th grade courses covered How many courses have been taken. In her children's remote classroom, Belyea heard the teacher spend time solving technical problems and repeatedly guided students to use online tools. The opportunities for one-to-one assistance have also decreased. The 9-year-old Ben (Ben) avoided asking for help online because he was conscious of his classmates hearing his struggles. "What happened in September? Will [many students] fall behind?" Bellia said. "If the children are suddenly driven back to a regular school in September, and if they are already behind the year before, then they can expect Entering the regular course at full speed is obviously unfair to them. "From the switch between distance learning and face-to-face learning to class isolation due to school-related cases, Canadian students continue to struggle with the turbulent educational experience of COVID-19. Education advocates and international experts are all emphasizing the disruption of the pandemic Education and learning losses, because long-term concerns will continue even after COVID-19 abates. The latest report from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) shows that in the year of the coronavirus pandemic, more than 8 Hundreds of millions of students (more than half of the global student population) continue to suffer severe academic disruptions. UNESCO said that face-to-face schools have been completely closed for an average of 3.5 months since the beginning of the global emergency. The report said that considering local In the case of class suspensions, this number has risen to 5.5 months on average. UNESCO Assistant Director-General of Education Stefania Giannini said: “The global shift to distance learning... Provide equal services to everyone in the world. According to Giannini, during the pandemic, more than 450 million students worldwide lacked access to education, and many of them were excluded from online learning because they were unable to access the Internet at home. UNESCO currently predicts that there are approximately 24 million children worldwide. And young people are in danger of dropping out. Giannini said in an interview in Paris: “This is about... those who have fallen behind. "They are facing a shadow pandemic. She said that countries like Canada cannot ignore major school chaos. Giannini said: "We also talk about marginalized people in developed countries. "This is a global crisis that is affecting more disadvantaged children who do not have the richest [students] supported by their background and family background. "Some students are "already scrambling to catch up" with the results of the UNESCO survey. They were not surprised by Toronto teacher Sam Tecle, who worked with Success Beyond Limits. Upward. The "Success Beyond Limits" organization was established in 2010 to help resolve the higher-than-normal high school dropout rate in the Jane and Finch communities, and to help those who are about to enter school who have experienced difficult school learning experiences before the 9th grade. High school student cooperation. UNESCO has just introduced us in detail in a recent report. For the past ten years, we have been seeing this in communities like Jane and Vinci or in communities like Toronto.” He is also a university professor and Teker of the community advocate said. "Usually, we find that... we cannot find successful students in the school system... it is difficult to find a successful period in the city, city life and social life. This is the danger." Watch | Sociology Professor Janice Ori Janice Aurini explained how learning losses occur: For students who have already dealt with challenges in school, the epidemic has intensified their efforts to gain a wealth of educational experience, Tecker said. "They are already scrambling to catch up." He said that in the pandemic, sudden changes in education and major structural changes (including the shift to distance online learning) have dealt a heavy blow to marginalized communities and made them need Longer time to adapt. Many marginalized families face multiple challenges. These may include sufficient Internet access rights, a sufficient number of devices for online learning, parents who are unable to work at home and raise children, and lack of supervision and care of young children. Tecle said that in addition to what individual educators or groups like "success beyond the limit" do to solve learning errors, "we know that our plan alone cannot alleviate this trend." He believes that school districts and governments must respond This will give more attention and investment to solve the problem. He said: "When we don't invest in education and the future of young people, this is our future, it will always haunt us." UNESCO said that investment in education is needed. Outside of the pandemic, teachers are usually already looking for students who are struggling with under-study and then work hard to close this gap. Canada also has summer school programs designed to help students catch up. For example, Ontario provides funding for two- to three-week summer courses. Almost every school board in the province provides these services to help students with learning disabilities. In addition to existing measures, Ontario is also exploring measures to support learning recovery, and formulating further plans to "direct response to learning loss" as the goal, to provide all students, disadvantaged children (including special students and disadvantaged students) with more Reading and mathematics support", said Caitlin Clark, spokesperson for Stephen Lecce, Ontario’s Minister of Education. It is UNESCO’s Giannini who wants to protect and increase investment in education. Arrived. This is one of the priorities in the “roadmap” proposed by the organization’s global education conference held in October last year. Giannini said that the next step is to reopen schools and adopt preventive health and safety measures. Then support teachers who receive “better and more training” and prioritize them as “classroom front-line workers” in vaccination activities. Fairly bridge the digital divide, reimagine the education system, and make schools more adaptable and The ability to adapt to the future is also UNESCO’s list of tasks. Gianini said: “Political leaders must realize that not investing in education today is harming the future of our young people, and also harming development and economic growth. . "This is not... a competition between reopening schools and reopening restaurants or bars." This is to prioritize education as a true basic human right. "

London—Hilton Valentine Hotel, the founding guitarist of the British rock band The Animals, died after proposing the most famous opening improvisation of the 1960s. He was 77 years old at the time. The band’s record company ABKCO Music confirmed that Valentine passed away on Friday and said that his wife, Germaine Valentine, told him about his death. The brand said on Twitter: "Valentin is a founding member of The Animals and original guitarist. He is a pioneering guitarist who has influenced the sound of rock and roll for decades." Valentine was created by North Shields in Northeast England. Shields was founded in 1963, with singer Eric Burdon, bassist Chas Chandler (Chas Chandler), organist Alan Price and drummer John Stie (John Steel) worked together and became the most famous song of the band. In 1964, "House of the Rising Sun" topped the charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States. In the United States, many people are surprised that the band comes from the industrial heart of England. Burton paid tribute to Valentine on Instagram, writing: "The opening song of the rising sun will never sound the same!!" You are still alive! The news of Hilton's sudden death left him heartbroken. Valentin has been in the band for four years, and the band has also heard other classic music, including "Don't let me be misunderstood", "We are leaving this place" and "Don't let me down." Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, in recent years, the lover has been living in Connecticut, USA. The Associated Press

Although Canada recommends not to travel abroad during the pandemic, Snowbird can still easily book flights and fly south. But now, as the federal government announced on Friday that it has taken drastic new travel measures, those snowbirds are facing major obstacles when they return home. Soon, air travelers will be required to undergo a COVID-19 test on arrival and be quarantined for up to 14 days in a designated hotel for three days, which could cost them more than $2,000. Claudine Durand, a 50-year-old Canadian snowbird, said: "I won't pay $2,000 per person in three nights. This is ridiculous." He spends the winter in Florida. Other Snowbirds also agreed, which is why some of them tried to find a way to rule-by extending their stay or trying to rush home before the new measures were implemented. Canadian Snowbird Joe Lynn from Milton, Ontario, Canada hopes to do just that. He and his wife plan to live in an apartment in Barra de Navidad, a small town on the western coast of Mexico, until the end of March. But on the second day after learning the travel rules for the upcoming trip, they booked a return flight on Wednesday. "Forty thousand dollars is a lot of money, who knows it will stop there? Is it $4,000 plus HST?" 68-year-old Lynn talked about hotel expenses, which he calculated for two people of. "I'm receiving a pension." Lynn's sense of urgency increased the prospect of fewer flights. Encouraged by the government, major Canadian airlines have cancelled all flights to Mexico and the Caribbean from Sunday to April 30. Although Lynn managed to book the return flight through Aeromexico, Lynn is still not sure whether the government will approve when the hotel quarantine rules have not yet been announced. He said: "I don't know what will happen... They can take me directly to the hotel." On Sunday, the Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra (Omar Alghabra) in CBC Rosemary Barton River (Rosemary) Barton Live said in an interview that the hotel requirements may come into effect on Thursday (the day after Lynn’s arrival). Lynn said that he understands why Ottawa is implementing strict new regulations to prevent travel because the highly contagious variant COVID-19 strain continues to spread globally. But he believes that it is unfair to impose these rules on travelers who left the country before the announcement. He believes that the increased hotel accommodation should only apply to people who choose to travel abroad now and are aware of the consequences. Lynn said: "Why not just choose a date and say,'This is the rule from this date?' "If you want to go out and want to come back to pay two or more, at least you know in advance. "Should I stay or go? Not all snowbirds drove home. Some people plan to extend their stay at the Sun Destination, hoping that the new travel rules will be cancelled when they return to Canada. Normally, Canada Snowbirds can spend about six months abroad without being affected, such as losing provincial health insurance. Travel insurance broker Martin Firestone (Martin Firestone) said that most snowbirds going to Sunbelt in the United States this winter Customers have contacted him to expand their medical insurance so that they can stay longer at their destinations. Firestone of Toronto Travel Security said: “They don’t want to be at Motel 6 at $2,000 per person. Live in for three days. "Their attitude is,'Will it be wiser to come down and walk quietly on the beach?" '” This is the attitude of Canadian snowbird Claudine Durand. She and her husband spent the winter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They came to Florida. In December, they transported their RV out of the border and planned to move It drives home. Watch | Ottawa has introduced new quarantine rules to stop international travel: It is currently unclear whether the federal government will also impose hotel accommodation on travelers entering Canada by land. However, Durand said if it does so , She and her husband will stay in Florida for as long as possible in order to avoid charging hotel fees. "It costs two thousand dollars per person in a hotel room? I want to pay the money to stay in Florida for another month. Durand suggested that the government should not allow travelers to stay in hotels, but should charge them a much lower entry fee, which can be used to ensure people are isolated at home. She said: "The government has much less work. "The Canadian Snowbird Derek Horton of Ottawa is not in a hurry to go home. He and his wife Susan plan to fly home for a medical appointment in March and then return to their winter home in Sarasota, Florida. However, because the couple were facing imminent hotel costs and other travel measures, they decided to stay in Florida now. Horton said: "The mountain is too big to climb. "He is going to return home permanently in April. However, if the hotel regulations are still in effect by then, he said he can extend his itinerary for another month, and hopefully he can still do it by then. "It's like staying more in heaven. A month. Horton said that he also hopes that Canada’s strict travel restrictions will be lifted as soon as possible for people like him. He has received the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida. “People like us have already received [US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] ] Vaccination certificate, why can’t we make a difference in these onerous regulations? "At present, travelers who have been vaccinated abroad still need to comply with Canadian quarantine regulations.

The office of Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz announced on Sunday that Israel has agreed to transfer 5,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine to Palestinians to immunize front-line medical workers. This is the first time Israel has confirmed the transfer of vaccines to Palestinians. The Palestinians are far behind Israel’s active vaccination campaign and have not yet received any vaccines. The World Health Organization has raised concerns about the gap between Israel and the Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. International human rights organizations and UN experts have stated that Israel is responsible for the well-being of Palestinians in these areas. Israel stated that it was irresponsible to the Palestinians under the interim peace agreement reached in the 1990s and received no request for help in any case. Gantz's office said the transfer had been approved earlier on Sunday. There are no further details on when it will happen. Palestinian officials did not immediately comment. After reaching a procurement agreement with international pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Moderna, Israel is one of the world's leaders in vaccinating the population. The Ministry of Health said that nearly one-third of Israel’s 9.3 million people received the first dose of vaccine, while about 1.7 million people received both vaccines. The movement includes Israeli Arab citizens and Palestinians living in annexed East Jerusalem. However, it does not include Palestinians living in the West Bank under the control of the autonomous government of the Palestinian Authority and Palestinians living under the rule of Hamas in Gaza. The Palestinian Authority has been trying to obtain doses through what WHO calls COVAX. But the plan to purchase vaccines for countries in need has been slow to start. The dispute reflects the inequality of global vaccine supply. Rich countries have absorbed most of the vaccine, while poorer countries are far behind in fighting the public health and economic impact of the pandemic. Although the virus has caused severe damage to both sides, it has also become another flashpoint in the Middle East conflict for decades. Joseph Federman, Associated Press

As more and more people stay at home to ensure protection from COVID-19, home decoration and DIY home projects have never been so popular. During the pandemic, more and more people on Prince Edward Island began to use fiber art, weaving and crocheting comfortable socks, hats, gloves or shawls, or making gloves: these are gloves made from recycled sweaters (thanks to Bo Ni Sanders!). You shared some ways to make home clothes in this cold PEI winter through Facebook. (Please note that the username is not necessarily the name of the reviewer. Some reviews have been changed to correct spelling and conform to CBC style.) Thelma Meney of Stratford passed this A photo and comment make it short and sweet: "Nice fireplace". Some people say that real firewood is the most comfortable-maybe it is the smell of wood smoke, or does it remind us of our grandparents’ home-made kitchen? But propane and electric fireplaces can also create a warm atmosphere. "We have any chance to campfire on the balcony. The Christmas tree stays till spring!" Doreen McPherson said. Many islanders have posted news to social media, especially this year, they plan to keep the Christmas tree at least until Valentine's Day. If it brings you joy, why not? "I just like it. I plan to keep it as much as possible. The world needs more light," said Heather Ching of Suris, who turned her Christmas tree into a lover's tree. Amanda Richard of Summerside said: "Making and burning beeswax candles help my house detox and feel comfortable at the same time." He added that making candles is "a hobby that I really like!" "There is no bread baked in a clay pot," Caren Mellish-May of Summerside felt comfortable. Coat a cup of tea to make the rest time at home become decadent. But the fragrance can be relaxing. And with food as the theme, homemade chocolate chip cookies are Charis MaryAnn Mactavish who Montague wanted to feel comfortable at when he was at home. If you are satisfied with your smell, try adding cinnamon sticks and a little vanilla to the water in a small slow cooker. Or put your favorite essential oil on the bulb (when it is cold), and then enjoy the fragrance when it is turned on. For some of you, comfort is decoration. Real woolen blankets, whether old or new, have taken some time in the past few years and can immediately make the room look comfortable. Large knitted blankets are also a big trend, looking very attractive, sitting on a sofa, chair or hanging at the end of the bed. Sheepskin (real leather and artificial leather) is also very popular, and fluffy or furry pillows of various rainbow colors continue to be popular. For Catherine Dominey Phillips, these are all pillows. Reina Lamothe designed and sewed a colorful quilt. She said: "I named it Serendipity-my COVID quilt." Then there is a really lively fluffy and warm friend, such as a cat or dog, who can hug. Many of you have shared photos of canines and cats. "Mr. Bojangles will definitely make the house more comfortable," Errol Rafuse commented. More on CBC PEI
