In the nation’s capital, when it comes to immigration, much of the focus is often on the southern border and undocumented migrants. This month, though, it’s immigrants that have come to the U.S. legally who are about to face new challenges, as they try to become permanent residents or U.S. citizens.Public assistance, like Section 8 housing vouchers or food stamps, could play a big role in the fight over immigration.It is called the “public charge” rule and it is not new; it’s been on the books since the late 1800s. What is new, however, is what defines a public charge.Back in 1882, when immigrants arrived in the U.S., they had to prove they had cash and enough money to get where they were going, once they landed.Fast forward to 1996: that’s when the government decided other factors should be included as part of a green card application – like a person’s finances, health, age, education – and whether a sponsor, such as a family member who is a citizen or already has a green card, could financially vouch for you.Now, the rule will change again. Immigration officials will be able to deny a green card if they think some will “likely” end up needing public assistance, like welfare, food stamps or Medicaid.If that person needed such help in the past, it could count against them. That is placing greater scrutiny on the 400,000 people each year, who apply for to become permanent residents in the U.S.The Trump Administration argues the change is needed so that public assistance is safe-guarded for U.S citizens and residents who need it.“The benefit to taxpayers is a long-term benefit of seeking to ensure that our immigration system is bringing people to join us as American citizens, as legal permanent residents first, who can stand on their own two feet, who will not be reliant on the welfare system,” said Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, in making the announcement in August. Yet, some who work with the immigration system disagree. Aaron Hall is an immigration attorney in Denver.“Every change that’s happened over the last two years has been aimed at making the immigration process more burdensome, more difficult,” Hall said. Hall added that not only is the definition of a “public charge” changing, so is the green card application itself.“For the first time ever, they’re asking applicants to provide a credit score,” he said. “People who have not had immigration status prior or who have spent time living in a foreign country are not going to have a credit score. So, they have negative factor against them, even before they get started with their application.”The revised “public charge” rule is set to take effect on Oct. 15, but it is already being challenged by multiple states in court. A could injunction could delay it as the lawsuits make their way through the courts, a process that could potentially take years. 2922

It used to be that learning happened in the classroom, but these last few months it’s happened a lot in front of a screen. Many parents have debated about how much screen time is too much and what’s best as school comes to a close and we hit the summer break. Now, some experts say that thinking screen time is bad might be old-school thinking. Video games have changed a lot since the days of Atari Pong. Now, more than ever, they’re designed to keep the consumer engaged. One of their biggest targets: adolescents. "Video games have classically been more of a problem because once you really engage that reward system, it’s frustrating and tough to pull kids off," said psychiatrist Joel Stoddard.He said that’s because a child’s reward system is stronger than a child’s control system. And there’s a difference in the way the brain reacts to video games than it does to the online schooling. "For most of the video games that kids are really into, like Fortnite and Zelda: Breath of the Wild, those games are designed to really engage their reward systems and keep their attention. So, that’s a little bit different than online school, which is not really designed in the same way to grab hold of those areas in the brain that are involved in like ‘this is what I want’," said Stoddard. "When kids are engaged with a teacher or with academic content online, that serves a very different purpose than playing a video game or having a zoom call to socialize with a peer," said Jennifer Walsh-Rurak, Vice President of the Northeast Region of Fusion Academy. That interaction, whether it’s playing video games with friends online, or FaceTiming, is better than no interaction. "In this day and age where they can’t naturally go outside and engage with kids in the neighborhood, we don’t want to discourage them from having that social peer interaction which we know is so critically important," said Walsh-Rurak. Stoddard says the extra time on the screens, isn’t all bad. It can actually be beneficial to an extent."The brain gets better at doing what it does so, when we’re interacting with screens all of our visual and screen areas are getting better. If you’re gaming, maybe some of those special attention and those reward areas get more sensitive, if we’re doing social media we’re going to be highly attuned to what does that ‘like mean, what does it not mean’. The brain just gets better at what it does," said Stoddard. However, it’s important to think about what else the kid could be doing instead of playing on the screen. "We do know that video games can suck kiddos in so they’re not actually having normative typical social interactions. They might gain weight, for example, and have disrupted sleep. And those have that sort of knock-on effects," said Stoddard. "I think proactively before it gets to that point, ensuring that kids have time built into their day where they plan to be outside maybe walking the dog, engaging with a family member in a conversation, reading a book. Doing something that very intentionally takes them away from that screen," said Walsh-Rurak. 3102

LAS VEGAS — An organization in the Las Vegas valley is introducing a new tool to fight opioid overdoses in the area — vending machines.The Center for Behavioral Health in Las Vegas will soon stock vending machines with Narcan, a nasal spray that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.The machines will eventually include personal hygiene kits, safe sex kits, and pregnancy tests but for now, the machines only dispense Narcan."There are numerous kits inside those machines,” Krista Hales at the Center for Behavioral Health said. “The main goal of them was to be dispensing clean syringes for people who are engaging in intravenous or intra-muscular drug use.”First responders like those in the Nevada Highway Patrol have also been trained in the use of Narcan.“It’s readily available to anyone,” Hales said. “I carry one in my car. And I have them in my house just in case because even someone who is taking their medication as prescribed could be at risk for an overdose."In order to use the vending machines, users will have to register for the syringe exchange program at the Center for Behavioral Health. Once registered, users are presented with a card that allows users to pick up free kits from the machines.The vending machines are currently available at the following places:The Center for Behavioral Health, 3050 E.

It will take 10 to 16 weeks to close the 154 stores.The loss of 154 locations will reduce the company’s footprint down from 850 stores nationwide. The 154 locations are spread over 38 states. “While closing stores is always an extremely difficult decision, our store optimization strategy is vital to ensuring we emerge from both Chapter 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic as a stronger retailer with greater financial flexibility to allow us to continue serving our loyal customers for decades to come,” said Jill Soltau, chief executive officer of JCPenney. “I am incredibly grateful to our talented associates for their ongoing dedication and their passion for meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations during this difficult and uncertain time.

Kroger is making changes in its stores, effective immediately, to help shoppers get the basics they need and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.Kroger spokesperson Erin Rolfes said the biggest change shoppers will see is the closing of all personal-service meat and seafood counters, as well as salad bars."You will see closures of our service departments, our meat case, salad bars," Rolfes said. "It's not due to concerns about spreading disease...it is all just to reallocate resources to make sure the shelves are stocked."She said steaks, seafood, and lunch meat will be sliced and packaged overnight, and placed in coolers for customers to grab. "There's no change in product, there just won't be someone to hand it to you from behind the counter," she said.Shorter hours, more endcapsThe changes come just days after Kroger reduced its hours, with Ohio stores opening at 7 a.m. and closing at 9 p.m. to allow for cleaning and restocking."Our reduced hours will give our associates extra time to restock the shelves overnight," Rolfes said.When shoppers visit Kroger stores in the morning, they will see more endcaps stocked with essentials like bottled water and paper towels, making them easier to find.Rolfes says toilet paper continues to come in from manufacturers and warehouses, and says they are getting it into stores as quickly as possible.However, certain items will be limited to just 3 per customer, including:WaterVitaminsCold and flu suppliesPaper towelsToilet paperPaper towelsHousehold cleaning itemsEggsMilk"Those product limits are in place, so everyone has a chance to purchase," Rolfes said.Kroger is exploring the option of early morning hours, she said, but has not made any decision yet.Helping employeesAs a token to employees trying to keep stores stocked, Kroger is giving associates a gift of a gift card.It will also pay any full-time employees for 14 days if they are forced to quarantine at home.While other employers are cutting workers right now, Kroger 2012
