America

High-speed internet is fundamental as it enables people to fulfill work and school obligations, apply for jobs, and impact global society.

Exercising free speech and obtaining information is now heavily dependent on having internet access. Without such access, many people lack a meaningful way to influence and hold supranational rule-makers and institutions accountable. “Internet access is no luxury, but instead a moral human right. This relates to a recent study by the University of Birmingham that argues the idea of free internet connectivity as a fundamental human right. “High-speed internet service is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. If your provider isn’t listed, ACP may still refund you. The ACP provides $30 monthly subsidies ($75 in tribal areas) on Internet service for lower-income households, meaning households receive a $30 or $75 discount on high-speed internet. - Lifeline If you’re single, your income can’t exceed $27,180. These companies are required to either cut prices or increase speeds so that all ACP-eligible households can have high-quality internet plans for a maximum of $30 per month. In addition, they said they’ve secured private sector commitments – agreements with 20 internet service providers to lower high-speed internet costs for low-income American families. Therefore, many feel that free internet access should be a human right since it would empower billions of citizens to lead ‘minimally decent lives.’

Aquí la comparación definitiva entre dos equipos que buscan enfrentar al Atlas.

El último finalista del Clausura 2022 de la Liga MX saldrá del duelo entre Pachuca y América a celebrarse en el Estadio Hidalgo. Durante el partido de ida, ...

La ida la ganó el equipo dirigido entonces por Miguel Herrera con marcador de 3-1 y la vuelta en el Azteca fue favorable a la vista 0-1. Durante el partido de ida, América dejó ir una cantidad importante de opciones claras de gol, sobre todo en la primera mitad. Posteriormente hay que remontarse al 2015, cuando Gustavo Matosas asumió como estratega del equipo de Coapa por solo seis meses.

E.R. Frank is an author of young adult fiction. Her first book, “America,” was published in 2002 and has been translated into more than five languages.

She took me out to lunch and asked me if I was Jewish. I said that I was, and I told her that it was a little disconcerting to be in Germany, a country I wasn’t ever sure I would want to visit. I think it was around 2005 that “America” was a finalist in the Young Adult category for the Berlin Literary Festival. I was flown to Germany for a week of author visits, literary events, and for the award ceremony. I hope that if it would ever go a school board, that the school board would invite other voices to have their say. To feel that we matter, that we have value, and that we are not alone. It is the shame of the society that allows this to happen and that is tremendously powerful. I would love to be able to talk to parents wanting to ban books directly, but it would depend upon how willing people are to listen. If you are really that concerned about your young people, then maybe that community needs to gather around social media because there is a lot more risk there. It is always disheartening to me that a tiny minority could get books banned. They see that the shame that they have felt is not their shame. So if you have a plan to install your tribe into power, it seems that starting at the school board level has become a way to do that. It is the shame of the perpetrator. Of course, anyone can feel free to debate whether or not my books are well-written, but that is a different conversation.

Los Tuzos recibirán a las Águilas para la semifinal de vuelta en el Clausura 2022 de la Liga MX este domingo 22 de mayo a las 20:06 horas.

El segundo finalista de la Liga MX se define entre Pachuca y América. Los Tuzos fueron los líderes generales de la clasificación durante la fase regular y su objetivo es redondear el semestre con un título. Los hidalguenses consiguieron un resultado que los tiene momentáneamente en la final, mismo que tratarán de sellar jugando en casa.

Pachuca jugará su décima Final en su historia en donde buscará el séptimo título para sus vitrinas. 'Pocho' Guzmán estuvo cerca de hacer más escandalosa la goleada con disparo que pegó en el poste y que luego se estrelló en la espalda de Memo Ochoa que evitó su autogol, al igual que Luis Chávez con otro remate al palo. Pachuca se pudo quedar con 10 jugadores por un falta de Nico Ibáñez que quedó solo en amarilla al 19', con todo y la revisión del VAR. La lluvia afectó el juego al generar que existieran varias faltas y se cortara el mismo.

Los Tuzos fueron superiores y se enfrentarán por el título contra el Atlas.

La velocidad fue la fuente de poder del ecuatoriano, quien dinamitó el arco de Guillermo Ochoa con dos definiciones exquisitas en una de las noches más memorables que se recuerden en su carrera. En la ofensiva, Romario Ibarra fue el encargado de encaminar a su equipo a la victoria con el doblete que enterró las aspiraciones y los sueños azulcremas de asestar un golpe en calidad de visitante. El equipo de Guillermo Almada fue amplio dominador y dejó de manifiesto la calidad de su plantilla, la cual lo llevó a convertirse en el equipo con el mejor rendimiento en la temporada regular.

Los Tuzos del Pachuca y las Águilas del América definirán al rival de Atlas en la final del torneo Grita México Clausura 2022 en el Estadio Hidalgo.

Al igual que en el Apertura 2018, las Águilas del América aspiran a conseguir tres títulos en sus diferentes categorías.

Un empate o derrota los dejará fuera del camino; los emplumados no avanzan a la final desde el torneo Apertura 2019, en la que cayeron ante Rayados en penaltis. No importa el marcador, pero los de Coapa deben vencer para conseguir su boleto a la final del futbol mexicano. Ahora, las Águilas aspiran a conseguir su triplete, al igual como lo hicieron en el torneo Apertura 2018.

Romario Ibarra (doblete) y Erick Sánchez coronaron una noche soñada para Pachuca, que con goleada se meten a la Final ante Atlas.

En la semana en la que Club Pachuca cumplió 24 años del último descenso, se confirmó la asistencia a su décima final en el futbol mexicano, en la que buscará igualar a los Pumas y Tigres en cuando a títulos conseguidos con siete. No tuvo ideas para atacar y terminó por estrellar todos sus intentos en la zaga local, que esta noche tuvo un partido perfecto, a pesar de los errores en el inicio. Diego Valdés pudo cambiar el destino del juego cuando un error de Erick Sánchez le dejó la pelota servida, de frente a la portería local y sin marca cercana.

Los azulcrema terminaron vapuleados en el Estadio Hidalgo, sin puntería ante el arco del argentino Óscar Ustari y con el paraguayo Bruno Valdez como delantero.

Con dos goles de desventaja, se esperaba que hiciera modificaciones en los últimos 45 minutos de la eliminatoria, pero sólo mandó a Jorge Meré y hasta el minuto 60 hizo sus primeros movimientos ofensivos. Diego Valdés fue el único que pudo anotar gol a Pachuca, ni Federico Viñas ni Henry Martín, que son los encargados de hacer los goles pudieron hacer daño a los Tuzos en los dos partidos de semifinales. PACHUCA -- América falló en su misión de superar al Pachuca, equipo que se ha acostumbrado a eliminar a las Águilas en la etapa de liguilla.

Con su triunfo, el Pachuca extendió su hegemonía sobre el América en las series de eliminación directa. Los Tuzos se adelantaron cuando Hurtado aprovechó un titubeo de la zaga local y entró sólo por banda derecha para mandar un centro hacia el área, donde Ibarra arribó para empujar la pelota al fondo de las redes. Ibarra remeció primero las redes a los 12 minutos y agregó un tanto a los 65, mientras que Sánchez aportó una diana con disparo de media distancia a los 43 para darle rumbo a la serie, que terminó con un marcador global de 4-1 a favor de los Tuzos.

Software engineers build computer software, a broad category that could apply to computer games, mobile apps, web browsers or any other computer-based system. They need a bachelor's degree in business or management. A Salesforce developer is a type of programmer who writes software on Salesforce cloud technology. A bachelor's degree in computer science, web development or graphic design is essential. They need a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an accredited school. Business analysts crunch data to increase a company's efficiency and identify opportunities for expansion. Risk managers are in charge of determining financial and security risks for a company, then coming up with ways to reduce those risks. A bachelor's degree is required for the position, with many holding degrees in computer science or software engineering. A product designer develops the look and feel of consumer products, prioritizing user experience. To compile its ranking, the employer review company weighed three factors equally: median annual base salary, overall job satisfaction rating and the number of jobs available during the past year. But the rankings also cover a wide spectrum of fields, including real estate, human resources, health care, and more. That said, some criteria remain the same: salary, work satisfaction and mobility.

But even though there are policy proposals that could help within the bounds of the Second Amendment, he says, the debate on guns is politically entrenched, causing “paralysis.” Similar debates happened in the last century about child labor laws, worker protections and reproductive rights, while in the 1980s during the AIDS crisis, there a lack of political will to address it in an environment where anti-gay discrimination was rampant. “I don’t think giving up is a permanent state of affairs. With COVID-19, American society has even come to accept the deaths of children from a preventable cause. “While people we elect and trust in offices around this country do their best not to protect us, not to consider us equal.” And in about half the states, Rajan says, teachers can carry firearms. And you’re going to talk to me about your need to get back to normal, when for the most part most of us have been living pretty reasonable lives for the past six months?” “I don’t think that most Americans feel good about it. We have over our history,” says Gregg Gonsalves, an epidemiologist and professor at Yale who was a leading member of the AIDS advocacy group ACT UP. In Buffalo, the alleged shooter was a racist bent on killing Black people, according to authorities. We will tolerate an enormous amount of carnage, suffering and death in the U.S., because we have over the past two years. “Some people’s deaths matter a lot more than others,” she laments.

Doctors will be cautious about offering any treatment that could be regarded as an illegal termination—forcing patients to seek out-of-state care.

Failing to pass the all of the tissue can also result in a life-threatening blood-clot complication called disseminated intravascular coagulation, the risk of which increases the longer you wait to rid the uterus of the tissue. While the patient can decide, the standard of care is to terminate the pregnancy, usually with medication. And because of the strict abortion laws that had taken effect that September in Texas—where ending a pregnancy is only allowed if there is “danger of death or a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function”—her doctors told her they couldn’t terminate the pregnancy.

Behind the pitch: How the cruise line will look to refresh its brand after the pandemic, which had a severe impact on the cruise industry.

“As of March 22, 2022, 75% of the company’s capacity had resumed guest cruise operations,” the company said in a statement. “Since the middle of January, the company has seen an improving trend in weekly booking volumes for future sailings. According to Carnival’s annual report released this year, advertising expenses are charged under “selling expenses,” which are a broad range of expenses including marketing and promotional expenses. “They feel less like an agency and more like an extension of our own team,” Cole said. You don't actually have to go on the cruise to really get hooked on it, but they put two people aboard and really understood the changes we've made in the product, the anticipatory service that the crew does, [that] we have the best entertainment at sea, and they really [showed they] experienced [Holland America] completely through every aspect of their pitch. Cole said she had been introduced to the Cincinnati-based agency’s social media work from a former colleague and was immediately intrigued.

North American box office is poised to overtake China this year as global theatrical industry makes moves towards recovery.

China had reached stage five on four weekends and stage four on another four weekends in the early part of 2022. Italy, Japan, and the U.K. are just behind. France, Germany and Austria are seeing the most sustained levels of business. Only South Korea, among the top 30 markets tracked by the company, had not achieved either Stages 4 or 5 by the end of 2021. U.K.-based research firm Gower Street Analytics forecast that the North American figure would overtake China’s revenues over the weekend or early this week. In the last 11 weekends, the China market has gone from tracking 5% behind 2021 and 16% behind the pre-pandemic 3-year averages to now 37% behind 2021 and 35% behind the three-year average.

The legal right to abortion is likely to disappear in half the country in a matter of weeks when the Supreme Court issues its opinion in Dobbs v.

It will be regularly updated online to bring you the information you need. Modern pharma and the old-fashioned USPS now enable an early pregnancy to end safely at home — that is, if you can evade surveillance and law enforcement, which have already criminalized people, mostly women of color, for their pregnancy outcomes, even where abortion is technically legal. Others will need or prefer an in-clinic abortion in a state where legal abortion still stands; this magazine has a guide to those locations, too, as well as how to get help with travel, expenses, and even child care. The only good news now is that, in most cases, an abortion outside the blessing of the law no longer requires begging at the feet of a doctor or the often brutal, sometimes ineffective measures women took on their own before Roe: the infamous coat hanger, the consumption of toxic substances, a stranger with faked credentials. The question is what it will cost medically, financially — and criminally. Abortion itself, and the need for it, will not, and never has.

The Supreme Court has struggled to devise another regime, and may soon eliminate the right to abortion altogether | The Economist explains.

Since most abortions happen before 15 weeks (and Mississippi’s only clinic only offers the procedure until 16 weeks), the reasoning would go, a 15-week ban is not an “undue burden” on the abortion right, as long as the procedure is available thereafter if the fetus has an anomaly or the mother is at risk. At that point, said the court, states’ interest in the “potential life” of the fetus becomes “compelling” enough that they can ban abortion even if doing so “overrides the rights of the woman.” (By contrast, there is no particular medical reason for Mississippi’s 15-week cut-off.) Many of those countries make abortion and contraception easy to obtain through universal health care. The share of people who support second- and third-trimester abortions drops to 28% and 13% respectively. In most countries that permit abortion “on demand”—meaning women need no justification to get one—that balance shifts over the course of a pregnancy. On the other is the life of the fetus.

Biden is not the ideal president to rally America around abortion rights. He can still rise to the occasion.

“What I do know is that America is not a theocracy, and when it comes to mysteries that are beyond the scope of human judgment, we must err on the side of personal freedom and bodily autonomy. It is not the American thing to do. It is not the Christian thing to do. “The leaked draft opinion from the Supreme Court hinges on the idea that the right to an abortion is not ‘deeply rooted in our history and traditions,’ that it does not appear in the Constitution. Another word that does not appear in our Constitution is ‘woman.’ Not once. “For many of you, it is also an issue of the potential lives of embryos and fertilized eggs. “Talking about abortion means being aware of the relationship of women to America’s history and traditions. “But now a draft opinion has leaked from the Supreme Court, which would drastically limit the ability of women in this country to end their pregnancies. I am a faithful Catholic. And I know what it means to be a parent: the pride, the pain. When it comes to abortion, I have found it difficult to sort out what I believe and to find the right words to convey those beliefs. At the end of three months of work, in the summer of 1787, these 39 men signed their names to the first draft of their dream and launched the democracy that we all fight for and live in and wrestle with today. Wade, I wished he hadn’t: He awkwardly alluded to the Supreme Court taking away the freedom of women to “choose to abort a child.” Joe Biden is not the person I would have chosen to be leading the nation when Roe v.

Bank of America Corp said it was raising its U.S. minimum hourly wage to $22 on Monday, a step closer to its promise of paying workers $25 an hour by 2025.

"Our focus on being a great place to work is core to everything we do and underscores the role our teammates play in our success," Bank of America chief human resources officer Sheri Bronstein said in a statement. Last year, the company also announced that all of its U.S. vendors would be required to pay their employees dedicated to the bank at or above $15 per hour. On an annual basis, real earnings dropped 2.6% in April.

Nation's second-largest bank has said it plans to boost the company's baseline hourly pay to $25 by 2025.

The New York City-based bank, founded nearly a century ago by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, increase that rate to $20 in 2019. BofA last year required its U.S. vendors pay their employees who work on the bank's business at least $15 an hour. BofA previously announced that it plans to gradually raise its base pay to $25 per hour by 2025.

The $22 hourly rate is more than triple the federal minimum wage of $7.25, which lawmakers last increased in 2009.

In an extremely tight job market, Bank of America’s announcement Monday framed the minimum wage increase from $21 to $22 as an effort to find and keep personnel. In 2020, there were 1.1 million workers with earnings at or below the $7.25 federal minimum wage, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said last year. There are more than 150 million non-farm employees working in America, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data compiled by the Federal Reserve’s Bank of St. Louis. In 2022, workers were poised for minimum wage hikes in 25 states. And $22 breezes past the $15 hourly wage so many workers are advocating for , if they don’t have it already. Bank of America BAC, +5.94%has almost 166,000 U.S. employees and approximately 15% will see larger paychecks due to the minimum wage increase, a spokeswoman said.

The firm has also elevated base pay for its higher-ranking employees. Employees earning less than $500,000 per year were eligible to receive the shares. “Our focus on being a great place to work is core to everything we do and underscores the role our teammates play in our success,” Sheri Bronstein, the bank’s chief human resources officer, said in Monday's press release.

With COVID-19 lockdowns normalizing home delivery of everything from fast food to aspirin, brewers are tapping into a lucrative new sales format — delivering ...

Brazil has broken that barrier. “Usually people don’t go out to buy more beer,” he said. But beer has a reputation as “cheap entertainment”, as former AB InBev finance chief Felipe Dutra noted during the last financial crisis, and brewers have managed to increase sales in the first quarter even with higher prices. “We know that for the majority of categories, they start with a very small penetration and there is a kind of tipping point when the volume of e-commerce goes to more than 3 to 4%, then accelerates very, very fast,” he said. Cold delivery is just a part of that, with much of the beer ordered online by consumers included in a weekly shop, while in developed markets big brewers focus on selling systems and kegs allowing consumers to pour their own draft beer. “But having the delivery in 30 minutes allows you to expand the number of occasions for beer, before people think about opening a bottle of wine or mixing spirits.”
