HARTFORD, Conn. – The nation's two largest teachers unions are calling on schools to revise or eliminate active shooter drills. The American Federation of Teachers and National Education Association issued a report Tuesday with the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety Support. They assert that simulating a school shooting can harm the mental health of students and educators. They say schools should instead concentrate on training teachers to respond to emergencies. Jean-Paul Guilbault, the chief executive of the Alice Training Institute, which runs active shooter drills, says they are effective when done appropriately. 641

GENEVA, Switzerland – The World Health Organization has declared the ongoing coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. "WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction," said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO. “We have therefore made the assessment that #COVID19 can be characterized as a pandemic”By definition, a pandemic is an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population.Ghebreyesus says the number of COVID-19 cases outside of China has increased 13-fold and the number of affected countries has tripled. “There are now more than 118,000 cases in 114 countries and 4,291 people have lost their lives,” said Ghebreyesus. In the days and weeks ahead, experts expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths and the number of affected countries to climb even higher. "Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly,” said Ghebreyesu. “It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death"Ghebreyesu says describing the outbreak as a pandemic doesn’t change WHO’s assessment of the threat the virus poses or what the organization is doing to combat it.According to Ghebreyesu, some of the hardest hit countries are seeing some progress in the fight against the virus."Of the 118,000 COVID-19 cases reported globally in 114 countries, more than 90 percent of cases are in just four countries, and two of those China and South Korea, have significantly declining epidemics," said Ghebreyesu.

Federal regulators head to Capitol Hill Wednesday following weeks of revelations about problems with the fatally flawed Boeing 737 Max, and as the world awaits a software fix and revised training program from the aircraft's manufacturer.The Federal Aviation Administration's current acting administrator, Daniel Elwell, is expected to face questions from lawmakers about how the Max was certified, and what steps will be taken to assure a skittish flying public that the aircraft can safely return to the skies.The Trump administration's nominee for the job, Stephen Dickson, will testify at a separate hearing. Dickson is a former Delta Air Lines executive and military pilot, and has not yet publicly commented on the 737 MAX or its grounding, which occurred days before his nomination was announced. In a Senate questionnaire prior to the hearing, Dickson identified safety as one of his qualifications for and priorities on the job.The FAA is waiting on Boeing to complete a software update for its review. The 737 Max 8 and 9 were grounded worldwide after a second crash in Ethiopia two months ago that investigators have described as appearing similar to an October crash into the Java Sea. Between the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes, 346 people were killed.When Elwell testified in late March, about two weeks after the Ethiopian crash, he defended the agency's process for grounding the plane. Other countries that acted days earlier, he said, without the data that the FAA waited for.Since then, news reports have revealed how the FAA certification process allowed Boeing officials with authority delegated from the FAA to certify their company's own work.Elwell will be joined by the agency's executive director of aircraft certification, Earl Lawrence, and two officials from the National Transportation Safety Board, which represents the United States in the Indonesian and Ethiopian investigations.Preliminary reports on both crashes have implicated a flight control system that Boeing designed to operate in the background, making the 737 Max fly like earlier versions of the workhorse jetliner. Maintaining enough similarities between the planes avoided costly pilot training programs, a fact Boeing touted as a selling point.But that computerized stability program -- the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS -- received faulty sensor readings in both the Lion Air and Ethiopian jets, and repeatedly pushed the planes' noses downward, and ultimately into steep dives. The pilots' attempts to overcome it were unsuccessful. As is standard practice, the preliminary reports did not lay blame for either accident.The emergency flight procedure Boeing says pilots should rely on when the system malfunctions has not been substantially updated since the 1960s and is now under FAA review, CNN recently reported.But Boeing admitted its software could be improved to break what it described as links in the chains of events that ended in the crashes.Boeing did not perform a flight test of a scenario where the system malfunctioned, CNN has reported. 3100

Fashion designer Karl Largefeld left behind a 0 million fortune following his recent death, and his cat is set to inherit part of it. Although it may sound absurd to leave millions of dollars to an animal, to the fashion mogul, Choupette the cat was much more than a pet. The cat was family. Maia Brusseau, with the non-profit animal shelter Dumb Friends League, agrees. She says many owners they see their pets as people. "It is not crazy to think about what is going to happen to your pet after you’re no longer here,” Brusseau explains. “It’s actually a very important thing to think about." While we may think of our pets like family members, the legal system considers them property, so how you set up a plan for your pet in your will is different.Keep in mind the following tips when determining care for your pet:Identify a care giver-someone you trust to take care of your pet.Pets are expensive, so think about allocating funds to your care giver to take care of your pet Create a dossier with general information, including what they eat, how much they need to be walked and a great pet sitterCome up with a plan B, which may include leaving your pet to a reputable shelter "That is a good idea to have that as a back-up if the family can't take care of them, especially if you have a favorite shelter you want to be able to support, so you know it will provide great care for your pet," Brusseau says. Brusseau says if you are a pet owner, put your pet in your will. "No matter what your age is, you should really make sure you have a plan in place, whether it’s an agreement with a family member or a friend who will take care of your pet for you, or if you do make provisions and put it in your will for someone to care for your pets,” she says. 1775

If President Donald Trump invokes a "national emergency" at the US border and uses emergency powers to bypass Congress and obtain funding to build his long-promised border wall, a battle in the courts over the questionable legality of spending those dollars would be virtually guaranteed.But the United States is no stranger to national emergencies.In fact, the US has been in a perpetual state of declared national emergency for four decades, and the country is currently under 31 concurrent states of emergency about a spectrum of international issues around the globe, according to a CNN review of documents from the Congressional Research Service and the Federal Register.The federal government is well into its third week of a partial shutdown over funding for the President's wall along the border with Mexico. The White House and Democrats in Congress are locked at an impasse: Trump is demanding .6 billion, while House Democrats have vowed not to give him a dollar."I may declare a national emergency dependent on what's going to happen over the next few days," Trump told reporters on Sunday morning, floating using the National Emergencies Act of 1974 to activate special power during a crisis.House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" that Trump doesn't have the authority to do so. "If Harry Truman couldn't nationalize the steel industry during wartime, this President doesn't have the power to declare an emergency and build a multibillion-dollar wall on the border. So, that's a nonstarter."But acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney defended the possibility: "I'm actually heavily involved with it and have been working with all of the Cabinet secretaries to try and find money that we can legally use to defend the southern border," he said on the same program. "Presidents have authority to defend the nation."Not all national emergency declarations are so controversial. Trump has already issued three national emergency declarations during his tenure, most prominently a national emergency meant to punish foreign actors who interfere in American elections, though the move garnered bipartisan criticism for not going far enough. He's also invoked emergency powers to slap sanctions on human rights abusers around the globe and on members of the Nicaraguan government amid corruption and violent protests there.Here's a full list of the 31 active national emergencies under the National Emergencies Act, dating back to the Carter administration:1.
