The government document from the Pennsylvania Department of Health reads:
Large gatherings are not safe during COVID19, but if you attend a large gathering where you might end up having sex, below are tips to reduce your risk of spreading or getting COVID-19 through sex: Limit the number of partners. Try to identify a consistent sex partner. Wear a face covering, avoid kissing, and do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. Wash your hands with soap and water often, and especially before and after sex. If soap and water are not available use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. If you usually meet your sex partners online, consider taking a break from in-person dates. Video dates, sexting, subscription-based fan platforms, or chat rooms may be options for you. Protect yourself and your partners from COVID-19 during sex. Avoid kissing. Kissing can easily pass the virus. Wear a face covering or mask. During COVID-19, wearing a face covering that covers your nose and mouth is a good way to add a layer of protection during sex with those outside your household.

iheartintelligence--2020-12-18--Having a big sister raises your chances for success, study says

Researchers have found a link between life success and having a big sister .
There are also , however , potential downsides for sisters .
Economists Pamela Jakiela and Owen Ozier of Williams College in Massachusetts were prompted to carry out a study after reading that many Kenyan parents give their daughters a big load of responsibility when they ’ re still young kids .
And that is much less the case when it comes to older brothers .
Researchers have been studying this topic for many years .
But according to Jakiela , there aren ’ t a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ studies that have looked into what effect young big sister carers have on the little ones they ’ re looking after .
Ozier and Jakiela looked into the lives of around 700 little children in rural Kenya to see how well they were doing on fine motor skills and early vocabulary and they found that toddlers who had a bigger sister to care for them did better on average .
According to Jakiela , the researchers have long been aware that a mother ’ s level of education has a huge impact on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also found that for little children with bigger sisters , But what makes big sisters so good for toddlers ?
The researchers tried to answer this question by listing a number of activities that would stimulate little children .
For example , Jakiela says , They then looked into how often people were doing these things for toddlers – and who was mostly doing it .
What they discovered is that across all families the mothers engaged the little kids this way to about the same extent .
However , older sisters were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ older brothers .
Furthermore , they engaged in this much more than any other family member .
So , if little children happened to have an older sister , they were getting much more stimulation .
When little children were engaged in five stimulating activities over a period of three days , when there was an older sister involved , Jakiela stresses that this shouldn ’ t be seen as definitive proof that additional stimulation is the reason children with older sisters performed better on those measures of early development .
However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is also supported by other recent studies .
Pakistani economist Javaeria Qureshi of the University of Illinois at Chicago compared girls who lived far away from girl schools with those who lived nearby – and hence were much more likely to attend studies .

There are also, however, potential downsides for sisters.
Economists Pamela Jakiela and Owen Ozier of Williams College in Massachusetts were prompted to carry out a study after reading that many Kenyan parents give their daughters a big load of responsibility when they’re still young kids.
“By age 6 to 8, older sisters are spending as much as half of their free time looking after younger children,” Jakieka says.
And that is much less the case when it comes to older brothers.
Researchers have been studying this topic for many years.
But according to Jakiela, there aren’t a lot of economic or educational, or health studies that have looked into what effect young big sister carers have on the little ones they’re looking after.
“And so we thought that it would be interesting to compare young children who have an older sister as compared to an older brother,” she says.
Ozier and Jakiela looked into the lives of around 700 little children in rural Kenya to see how well they were doing on fine motor skills and early vocabulary and they found that toddlers who had a bigger sister to care for them did better on average.
According to Jakiela, the researchers have long been aware that a mother’s level of education has a huge impact on a child’s development. She also found that for little children with bigger sisters,
“translates into about the same difference we see when we compare young children whose mothers finished secondary school to those whose mothers only finished primary school.”
But what makes big sisters so good for toddlers?
The researchers tried to answer this question by listing a number of activities that would stimulate little children.
For example, Jakiela says,
“having someone reading you stories, singing to you, practicing writing letters or counting with you, or doing physical play activities.”

They then looked into how often people were doing these things for toddlers – and who was mostly doing it. What they discovered is that across all families the mothers engaged the little kids this way to about the same extent. However, older sisters were much more likely to do this than older brothers. Furthermore, they engaged in this much more than any other family member. So, if little children happened to have an older sister, they were getting much more stimulation.
When little children were engaged in five stimulating activities over a period of three days, when there was an older sister involved,
“we see more than a 10% increase,” Jakiela notes.
Jakiela stresses that this shouldn’t be seen as definitive proof that additional stimulation is the reason children with older sisters performed better on those measures of early development.
However, she believes it is a plausible explanation that is also supported by other recent studies.
Pakistani economist Javaeria Qureshi of the University of Illinois at Chicago compared girls who lived far away from girl schools with those who lived nearby – and hence were much more likely to attend studies. She found that there was a large benefit to younger brothers of the girls. It seems that older sisters were aiding the boys with their studies at home. And the more the girls knew about a given subject, the better the boys performed in school.
Qureshi said:
“I find that an additional year of schooling completed by the oldest sister translates to [the equivalent of getting an] additional fifth of a schooling year for the younger brother.” “It’s really a testament to this important role that older sisters play in raising their younger siblings across most of the developing world.”
And as beneficial as it might look, Jakiela says it is crucial to take into account the potential downside.
“Seen through the lens of the younger child,” she says, “it’s a charming story of everybody loving their older sister. But this uneven burden of care work has real costs for older girls.”
For example, it often translates to them having less time to do their own homework and play outside.
Many other researchers have also looked into the matter.
Economist and public health expert at Harvard University, Marcella Alsan, for example, looked into schooling data for over 120,000 teens in 38 low and middle-income countries. She and her colleagues found that when a younger sibling in a household was ill, the older girls seemed more likely than the boys to stay home so they could care for their sick sibling.
Alsan says that when it came to the school attendance of the big sisters and big brothers,
“the gender gap increased to almost 8 percentage points if there had been one illness episode.” “It increased further if there were two or more illness episodes.”
In another study, where Alsan looked at Turkish children, she found that a vaccination campaign for little children had a positive spillover effect on their older sisters.
“This did free up girls to attain more education,” Alsan says.
In short, improving the health of little children – so they don’t need as much constant care – may also be a way to boost the quality of life and education for older girls.
According to the researchers, these findings show that governments need to take these issues at heart when making policies and find the proper solutions.

Carrot the deer is now recovering after a dangerous arrow removal procedure.
A friendly deer named Carrot visits the residents of Kenora, Canada every year around Christmas time. Shockingly, while the neighborly animal didn’t fail to pay a visit to his favorite humans in the town just before the holiday, he returned with an arrow straight through his head.

If you are cooking a festive ham for Christmas Eve, you are probably doing it wrong. Here is why!
Festive ham joints are a popular Christmas dish alongside the delicious honey-glazed turkey and the buttery mashed potatoes. It’s only natural that everyone wants to make the most delicious meal for their family on Christmas Eve. But what if you are cooking your holiday ham the wrong way?
According to Ligia Lugo, a co-founder of The Daring Kitchen and Vie De La Vega, who spoke to Daily Star, there are certain steps you need to follow when making a juicy Christmas ham.
The culinary expert says there are 3 steps for cooking the best festive ham:
1. Baste regularly.
“Do not forget to baste the ham every 10-15 minutes as your glaze reduces.”
2. Use bone-in ham.
“For the most delicious Christmas ham go for bone-in ham. The meat is juicier and after you have finished with it you can use the bone to make an amazon broth.”
3. Spice it up and add a glaze.
“A syrupy glaze will give the Christmas ham a burnished and caramelized finish. You can use runny honey or maple syrup. Add a snappy spice like mustard or ginger to give some extra depth. Citrus juice or vinegar will add some acidity to help balance the sweetness, especially if you add sugar for additional caramelization.”
What are the common mistakes you can make while cooking a ham for Christmas Eve?
For instance, if you forget to cover the ham while cooking it, the dish will probably end up dry. Lugo says that it should be covered “for at least half of the cooking time” with an aluminum foil or an oven bag. You can remove the cover throughout the second main part of the cooking, which is the glazing process.
Another mistake you can make is cooking at too high of a temperature. Maybe you think the higher temperature will spare you several minutes, but instead, it will make the meat dry out. As per Lugo, you should “give the meat enough time and cook it at 275-300°F.(135-150°C)”
What is the best ham joint recipe according to Michelin Starred chef Jeff Baker?
Jeff Baker, from Farmison & Co, recommends an unusual but extremely delicious glaze for your Christmas ham. It includes black treacle (150ml), whiskey (4tbsp), mustard powder (2 tbsp), and vegetable oil.
Here is the full recipe:
Ingredients:
2.5kg unsmoked gammon joint
300ml black treacle
2 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
1 tsp ground mace
1 tbsp black peppercorns
10 cloves
10 juniper berries
For the glaze:
150ml black treacle
4 tbsp whiskey
2 tbsp mustard powder
Vegetable oil to grease
Method:
First, soak the gammon in cold water for a couple of hours pre-cooking. While cooking, use a pan that can hold the joint comfortably.
Dissolve 300ml of the black treacle with 700 ml freshly boiled water and stir. After that, pour the treacle mix over the gammon with the bay and spices. Top up with water to cover. Then, bring to a very gentle simmer and cook for around 2½-3 hours, until the middle of the ham reaches 65°C when tested with a digital thermometer & the meat is easy to pierce.
You can then leave to cool in the broth until you can handle it or leave to cool completely.
To glaze:
You will need to preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C fan assisted (gas mark 6). Then, with a sharp knife, cut the skin off the ham, leaving as much fat as possible, then score the fat into a diamond pattern. Next, insert the cloves on the cross point where the fat is scored.
After that, mix the remaining 150ml treacle with the whiskey and mustard powder. Brush the mixture generously over the fat. Then transfer the ham to a roasting tin double-lined with lightly oiled foil, then roast for about 30 minutes, basting with the glaze in the tin once or twice.
When the ham is glossy and sticky, remove from the oven & leave to cool for an hour or so. Lastly, when the meat is cool enough to handle, slice it into 5mm slices cutting against the grain of the meat.

A devastated woman said she is still struggling to accept what happened to her back in 2019 after Chicago police wrongfully broke into her apartment and handcuffed her while she was naked.
“This is so terrifying for me that two years later, I’m still dealing with it,” Anjanette Young said. “That the city has spent the last two years and, for lack of better words, is telling me that they did nothing wrong.”
The victim made a public appearance recently and recalled the night of the shocking event, which her lawyer, Keenan Saulter, described as “a very eerily similar situation” to the one that cost the life of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky.
“Laquan McDonald tragically lost his life. Breonna Taylor tragically lost her life. Miss Young was violated and by the grace of God, she’s here to tell her story,” he said. “But Laquan McDonald and Breonna Taylor should have been instrumental in the decisions that the city made about this video, and in the ways that they approached this case. How, after seeing the horrific nature in which Breonna Taylor was murdered in her own home – in a very eerily similar situation – how could you know that that occurred during this calendar year, that caused global level protest during a global pandemic, and think it was okay to try to suppress?”
Anjanette Young. A 20 year social worker. Just back from work. Police invaded her home. Naked. Begged for clothes. Cuffed. 40 minutes of terror. Apologized & left. Then tried to cover it up. Defender: "What happened that night is the norm in Chicago." More:https://t.co/wSR998OLYS — Scott Hechinger (@ScottHech) December 23, 2020
Police bodycam footage from the night of the incident that Young used in the lawsuit was obtained by NBC 5 and released recently.
The administration of Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot tried to stop the video from being shown on TV in an emergency court filing, but the judge rejected it.
In the footage, cops can be heard knocking on the door before shouting “police search warrant.”
The helpless woman can be heard crying and screaming from inside:
“You’ve got the wrong house, you’ve got the wrong house.”
Her lawyer has said that his client repeated these words 43 times during the arrest.
At one point, an officer threw a blanket over Young’s shoulders, but due to her handcuffs, it slipped off her back, leaving her completely naked again.
The incident was recorded on the officers’ bodycams.
“I pride myself in being a law-abiding citizen. I’ve always lived my life being truthful to what is right and wrong,” Young said. “Working as a social worker, I’ve spent over 20 years working with families who deal with trauma, helping families through hard situations. And it’s been very surreal and overwhelming to live this experience.”
Authorities declined to comment on the case. However, a COPA spokesperson named Ephraim Eaddy said that due to the city’s policy the only footage they can release before an investigation is complete are those in which a policeman has fired a weapon or in cases when great bodily harm is inflicted.
“I was terrified. I tell people that I was scared into compliance. I was afraid to move because in that moment, I thought if I did anything out of the ordinary that they would shoot me,” Anjanette Young says about being a victim of a wrong house raid by Chicago police. pic.twitter.com/JkKCBkljMt — MSNBC (@MSNBC) December 17, 2020
Young’s attorney criticized the handling of the case as he alleged officers raided the wrong house.
“There’s no justification for withholding videos under the guise of saying there’s an ongoing investigation,” Saulter said. “How long does that investigation take?”
The mayor told the media that the incident happened months before she stepped into duty and blamed COPA for not making it public earlier.
“I respect the independence of COPA, but give me a break that we didn’t put this video out in all this time,” Lightfoot said at a press briefing. “It’s ridiculous, it really is.”
I have directed COPA to expedite its investigation of this matter so that the public has a full accounting of what happened before, during and after the February 2019 incident. — Mayor Lori Lightfoot (@chicagosmayor) December 16, 2020
Lightfoot said that a revised search warrant policy was put in place back in January, requiring CPD supervisory review and sign off before a search warrant can be sought from a judge as well as another verification step in order to make sure the property in question is the correct one.
“I have further directed a review of how this matter was handled by various city departments to determine that there was compliance with city procedures,” Lightfoot’s statement read. “Since this matter is the subject of litigation and an open COPA investigation, I will have no further comment.”
ICYMI: Lightfoot concedes today that the #AnjanetteYoung case was brought to her attention in Nov 2019. This comes one day after attacking @SigchoFor25 for "not having all of the facts" & goes against her claims yesterday that she only learned about the case Tuesday pic.twitter.com/2D3uhewrNy — Bebo 🌹 (@BebopOtt) December 17, 2020
But the victim and her lawyer were not happy with the mayor’s handling of the case.
“A mayor that ran on transparency, a city corporation council that is clearly out of control, not reporting details to the mayor. Something has to change,” Saulter said. “And the change can’t be to attack another innocent woman first in her home, and then in court to say she violated a protective order. How is that the response? Has there been any discipline of any police officer for violating this woman’s privacy?”

A bad-tempered Chinese man has had to learn the true meaning of Karma the hard way.
The China Central Television (CCTV) reported that a man kicked a stray dog in a parking lot in Shijiazhuang city. And in an act of defiance, the dog ended up taking revenge on him. But instead of simply attacking the man upfront, the pup had something else in mind. And for that, it needed the help of some friends.
“The dog instead returned with a pack of other dogs and started biting the man’s car,” CCTV reported.
Photos taken by a passerby show at least three dogs who are eating away at the man’s car.
And as can be seen, they were able to inflict quite a lot of damage on the vehicle with their powerful jaws.
It isn’t known when exactly it all took place, or what the man’s reaction was when he saw what had happened to his car, but people on social media seemed to be on the side of the dogs.
One person wrote:
“Dogs have feelings too. And revenge in many ways is one of thier [sic] way of getting back at you went [sic] you treat them bad.”
While it isn’t possible to know for sure whether the pack was acting out of a need for revenge, dogs are known to cause damage to property when feeling anxious or stressed, and in this case, the car had to take the fall. Hopefully, the man was able to put two-and-two together and has learned his lesson.
And it seems like this isn’t the first time a group of dogs has done something like this…

iheartintelligence--2020-12-23--Co-workers live 28 days in a factory to make materials for personal protective equipment

Factory employees spent nearly a month working hard to make PPE materials amid the pandemic .

Factory employees spent nearly a month working hard to make PPE materials amid the pandemic.
Dozens of factory workers lived together for 28 days while working 12-hour shifts making essential PPE materials.
For nearly a month, the employees were entirely devoted to helping the country tackle protective equipment shortages.
They now use a modified schedule to keep one another from exposure to COVID-19.
In April, 80 factory workers spent 28 days straight in 12-hour shifts making materials for N95 masks and surgical gowns. As ABC News reports, the employees worked at two separate manufacturing plants – the Braskem America plants in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, and Neal, West Virginia.
The facilities equipped air mattresses, cots, and sleeping bags for the selfless workers. Local restaurants were taking care of their meals. They were also provided with high-speed internet so they can regularly video-call their loved ones.
Stephanie Whitesell, plant manager of Marcus Hook, said:
“Our team wanted to help where they could and were committed to creating these necessary items for our nation’s pandemic response. We floated the idea and immediately had more volunteers than we needed.”
Although the conditions were not ideal, it was the best way for the workers to protect themselves and their families while helping with tackling the pandemic.
Larry Kerrigan, plant manager of Neal, described:
“They made it so easy and were committed to making sure we can make this material that folks need. It was a collective decision, from the leadership down to our newest hires. We had one guy whose spouse works in a hospital. Being separated isn’t easy, but it was best for each of them to be able to do their jobs safely.”
Braskem plants applied the extra measures as soon as the Food and Drug Administration and state governments across the US stated there were shortages of personal protective equipment. However, the epidemic put pressure on the company to keep its production line moving at all costs. In their case, if just one employee contracts the virus, the entire facility would shut down for weeks. This would put a hold on the desperately needed material each factory churns out daily.
Whitesell explained:
“We tried to do what was best to minimize and avoid disruption of these critical materials that are so important right now. The live-in was an aggressive action that was implemented quickly, but it was entirely necessary and I’m so proud of our team.
There is a lot of pride in how well the site ran over the last few weeks. They did very well”
The factory workers are now using a modified schedule to limit interaction with other team members to keep themselves safe from possible COVID-19 exposure.
