WASHINGTON, D.C. – Amid the bright orchids of the U.S. Botanic Garden sits a 200-year history of protecting America’s most fragile plants.“We're a living repository for rare and endangered plants,” said Saharah Moon Chapotin, director of the garden.The U.S. Botanic Garden is the oldest one in the country, an idea envisioned by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. It’s about to celebrate its 200th year. About 60,000 plants, lying within several acres in the heart of Washington, D.C.Conservation at the garden is always in season.“Many of our plants are rare and endangered and we are providing a home for them,” Chapotin said.Here in the U.S. there are 1,300 species that are considered threatened or endangered. Nearly 20 percent of those are plants adding up to hundreds of flora on the brink.Some already fell off the cliff, like Hawaii’s “Cabbage on a Stick.” Because of overdevelopment, the insect that pollinated it disappeared and in 2014, the plant went extinct in the wild, too.There are others endangered, too, like a cactus from Arizona and bushes which are native to Florida. Endangered plants don’t always get the kind of attention endangered animals do.“Often people do think about animals they have faces and they're sort of cute,” USBG deputy director Susan Pell. “So, we kind of think people generally can sort of sympathize with them a little bit more, than maybe with a plant that they're not familiar with.”At the garden, they emphasize how much plants are tied to the habitat of endangered animals, at risk from invasive species, development and climate change.“They're really interconnected and so I think plants are a fundamental part of conserving environment and conserving habitats,” Chapotin said. “And if you just focus on conserving the animals you're leaving out a huge part of the equation in terms of the plants.”That all adds up to a continuing mission of saving plants there in the hopes of one day taking those that are now extinct outside the walls and reintroducing them back to Mother Nature. 2049

When the universe formed during the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, the chemical reactions of the aftermath formed the first molecules. Those first molecules were crucial in helping form everything we know, but they're also absent.And although HeH+, the helium hydride ion, has been proposed for years as that first molecule, scientists couldn't find any evidence of its existence in space -- until now. The findings were published Wednesday in the journal 470

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Trump administration says it will allow individuals and businesses to delay paying their tax bills for 90 days past the April 15 deadline. It’s part of an effort to inject as much as 0 billion into the economy at a time when the country is in danger of being pushed into a recession by the coronavirus.Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is encouraging Americans who can to file their taxes on or before April 15 to do so that they don’t lose out on their tax refunds.But Mnuchin says that if Americans owe the IRS money, they can defer up to million for individuals and million for corporations without interest and penalties for 90 days.The delay on payments applies to federal returns. Americans will want to double-check their state’s tax deadlines to see if there are any delays applied.The White House is also hoping to send stimulus checks directly to people as the nation grapples with the pandemic.President Donald Trump and Mnuchin said during a White House briefing that they want to send checks to Americans in the next two weeks in an effort to curb the economic impact.Across the United States, over 4,660 people have been infected by the COVID-19 virus and 95 people have died. 1234

Why does a teenager deserve to be on a city council? That's what Marcel McClinton, 17, says he is asked a lot."I've got the right ideas and change is necessary to bring our city and push it further to success," he answers.McClinton is just days out of high school and turns 18 on July 5. The filing deadline for Houston's city council candidates is Aug. 30."I just barely make it," he said. Age is just a number to him."So I think that, you know, the mindset of 'you can only get involved, you only have a voice when you turn 18 when you can vote' is a lie, is a myth, it's not true," he said. "I always tell young folks who ask me this question that you can help campaigns and push your political ideas through a movement, right?"For McClinton, the movement he is most passionate about, is preventing gun violence. He was a survivor of a shooting at his church in 2016."And that was a moment in my life for a lot of us in the room we had to grow up a lot faster," he said.McClinton helped organize Houston's "March for our Lives" rally and volunteer for Beto O'Rourke's bid for senate. It has all led him to this."I also sat back and thought, ya know, to what extent can I further my work in gun violence prevention? And would that be most beneficial at just the school level and just keeping students safe in schools, or is that in a greater capacity on city council where we can look at inner city gun violence awareness campaigns and suicide and mental health and all these things that I think attack gun violence at a greater extent?" he said.The teen has big backers: O'Rourke's former campaign manager is serving as an adviser to McClinton's campaign. He says it is proof young people really can bring change."Your truth in your heart matters, and that's important, and also to stay confident through all the doubts that you're gonna hear," McClinton said. 1875

When Jill Lorentz was in her 20s, she said her mother started showing signs of forgetfulness. “As we got a little bit older, she started having mild memory loss and we didn’t think anything of it really," she recalled. "We just thought it comes with age.” However, she later learned her mother had Alzheimer’s Disease, a form of dementia.“She would ask you the same question that you had just answered,” Lorentz explained.Dementia causes a decline in memory, language, and problem solving.“The disease takes them in a place in the progression where they start losing the ability to go A to Z on any action,” Lorentz said. Lorentz saw this happen to her mom over the years, and eventually, to other members of her family, too. “We have had eight people in our family with some type of dementia,” she said.Every 65 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer’s Disease. Nearly six million people in the U.S. over the age of 65 are living with it, according to 2020 stats from the Alzheimer’s Association. “A lot of the focus is on today, what do we do now that we don’t have a cure and every little in the way of a treatment,” Amelia Schafer, the executive director of Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter, said. “We now have more people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia than ever in our country and when we look at the trajectory we know it’s not slowing down.”One of the biggest risk factors is age.“Age is the number one risk factor so as we are aging as a population here in the U.S. it’s possible we’re more at risk,” said JJ Jordan, the Community Chair for Dementia Friendly Denver, a nonprofit that educates communities about dementia.As more people enter the later years of their life, with more awareness and more knowledge of the warning signs, different types of dementia are able to be diagnosed easier today than before.“I get about 90, 95 percent of my diagnosis from talking to them, getting to know them,” Dr. Samantha Holden, a behavioral neurologist with University of Colorado Health, said. “Even though we can’t cure these things, we can definitely manage them and make sure we’re improving people’s quality of life.”That’s where caregivers like Lorentz play an important role in the life of someone who has been diagnosed. After learning lessons taking car of her mom, she is now a caregiver to her sister, Judy, who also has dementia and lives in another state.“The one thing that I’ve done with my sister is having really open and honest conversations with her and having a safe place for her to come,” Lorentz said. 2561
