In America, We’re Trafficking Nurses and Teachers Now
If it sounds sketchy, that’s because it probably is. A school district in Florida just hired 140 teachers from South America through a contracting agency. The board says it’s the only way they’re going to deal with their teacher shortage this fall.

The Last Stone Age Tribe in World
In November 2018, John Allen Chau, a 26-year-old American missionary, decided to go to India's North Sentinel Island illegally. The natives of this island are believed to be a part of the North Sentinelese tribe. And they might be the world's last uncontacted tribe. It means that they know nearly nothing about the rest of the world. John was a Christian and was so obsessed with his religion, that he wanted to teach Christianity to the people living on this island. He went to a nearby island and bribed a fisherman with ₹25,000 and convinced the fisherman to drop him off at the island. They begin the journey on the night of 14th November 2018, hiding from the coast guards in the darkness. He was carrying his GoPro camera, some scissors, a kayak for the remaining journey, some dried fish, a football, and a Bible which he had hoped to give them as a gift. On the morning of 15th November, as soon as they reach the island, he tells the local fisherman to wait at a distance, and goes closer to the island alone on his kayak. He spots some houses and heard women talking, he prepared to park his kayak on the beach, when he spotted 2 Sentinelese men carrying bows and arrows approaching him He greets them by saying, "My name is John, I love you, and Jesus loves you. Jesus Christ gave me the authority to come here to you. Here is some fish for you." The 2 men place their arrows in the bow, and get ready to shoot at him. Panicking, John turns around to leave. Some hours later, he tried again.

Last Dance
Heart filled and felt what the dance may be when the melodies halt for another leave. To once come back again I know another moment I’ll see. Through this world of dark tempos and tunes I shall flee, without doubt I shall flee.

Love
Why is love so tricky? Why can’t we just have it all with no pain and regrets? Do we regret loving someone at all? Why does the simple and such a pure act of loving hurt so much? Why can't we have what we give in this process called love?

A strong vulnerability to war between Ukraine and Russia
War is an intense armed conflict between states, governments, societies, or paramilitary groups such as mercenaries, insurgents, and militias. It is generally characterized by extreme violence, aggression, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces. Warfare refers to the common activities and characteristics of types of war, or of wars in general. Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant suffering and casualties.

As Darkness Descends
It’s bizarre how even supposedly “educated” people are paranoid, distrustful, & not believing in science. A few days ago, I discovered & shared with some of my e-mail contacts a video https://weather.com/health/video/researchers-find-dangerous-chemicals-in-natural-gas-used-in-homes which warns of the danger of cooking with gas in one’s home due to the chemicals released & left by the burning gas. Its explosive qualities & the danger of leaks were not even mentioned, although in this day & age I would not take anything for granted as being “common knowledge.”

I Am She
She was in High School and much like her peers, she was trying to find her way in life. Holding down a pizza shop job, making that teenage moola. Driving around in the little, red Suzuki Esteem. It was a stick shift, so of course she felt like a badass. Marlboro Red sticking between her fingers and a bowl in her lap.

Remember that success comes in many forms
Success is a funny thing. It can be quite elusive. It can also be jaded, like an ex-lover that you used to enjoy tumbling around with. And just like that ex-lover of yours, the way you saw him/her was as clear as day at the time of courtship. But then something happened. Life got in the way. It has a habit of doing that. It's a mightily intrusive habit, but it happens pretty much every single day.

How to Make Sense of Contradictions in the Bible
The Bible has two creation accounts/narratives as seen in the book of Genesis. Gen. 1 is thought to be written after Gen. 2 (scholars believe it was written around the Babylonian Exile ca. 587–530 B.C.) while Gen. 2 is likely to be an oral tradition that circled around the Levant and eventually was adapted and kept by the ancient Israelites possibly as early as 1000 B.C.

Is the Crowd Too Loud?
The physical environment which surrounds each person will obviously vary according to their geographical location. While some prefer rural sparsely populated areas, others go for the inner-city urban lifestyle, jam-packed with people and activity. In fact, a vast number of individuals identify their primary environment to be urban or metropolitan-like, whether by preference or necessity.
