More than 40 percent of nonsmokers feel they should get 3-5 extra vacation days, according to a survey.E-cigarette maker Halo surveyed over 1,000 employed Americans about how fair they feel smoke breaks really are.Twenty-eight percent of smokers also felt that nonsmokers should be given three to five extra vacation days. However, the majority of smokers, 38 percent, didn't think nonsmokers should be given extra vacation days at all.The survey found that the average smoker spends roughly six days each year on smoke breaks at work. On average, Americans would give up smoking for 11 extra vacation days each year. Americans also believed companies should offer incentives for employees to quit smoking.The survey comes after nonsmoking employees at a Japanese agency received an additional six days of paid vacation time.  844

More than a quarter of a billion dollars from the omnibus spending bill is earmarked for border fencing in San Diego, but don’t expect it to look like one of the border wall prototypes in Otay Mesa.A provision in the bill makes the funding only available for “operationally effective” fence designs from before March 2017The eight border wall prototypes the President visited earlier this month are ineligible since they were completed in fall of 2017.Border Patrol says the funding will be used to replace 14 miles of existing and secondary fencing in the San Diego sector.It’s a broken promise for Trump supporters like Ben Bergquam who says it’s disappointing Trump is not funding the one thing a majority of his voters wanted to see.“We have the House, the Senate and the Presidency; yet we don’t have the courage to say no," said Bergquam, "you don’t have too many giveaways to screw up something that big.”.6 billion in total is going to border protection measures across the country from the bill. 1029

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The contest for the year's best country songs happens Wednesday night at the 2018 Country Music Association Awards.The two categories — song of the year and single of the year — look similar with three songs nominated in both, but the writers behind the hits say these awards are hard to predict.Nominees include a monster pop song that went country, country songs that went pop, a message song for the #MeToo era and, of course, drinking songs.Song of the year is awarded to songwriters, while single of the year goes to the artist, producer and mixing engineer.The CMA Awards will air live from Nashville Wednesday at 8 p.m. on ABC10. Here's a look at the single and song of the year nominees.______"Drowns the Whiskey" by Jason Aldean featuring Miranda Lambert, nominated for single and song of the year:This song was originally pitched for country singer Tyler Farr, explains Josh Thompson, who co-wrote the song with Brandon Kinney and Jeff Middleton. When it didn't make Farr's album, Aldean grabbed it and turned it into a No. 1 hit.The three writers were on the road in 2013 when they wrote it, staying up until 4:30 in the morning while drinking whiskey to finish it, Thompson said."I am huge believer in the idea that you've got to get in the character of your song," he said.Thompson said the twist on a whiskey song and the opening line make it unique, but the production and turning it into a duet made the song sound like a new classic."It feels modern and timeless at the same time and the smoky Miranda notes in there just send it through the roof," he said.______"Broken Halos" by Chris Stapleton, nominated for single and song of the year:Mike Henderson has written with Stapleton for years, long before they were both in the bluegrass band The Steeldrivers and way before Stapleton broke out with his 2015 solo debut, "Traveller.""I was reading Keith Richards' biography and he had a chapter called 'Broken Halos,' and as soon I saw it, I was like, 'Whoa, song title," Henderson said.The track won the best country song Grammy earlier this year, making it a strong contender in both CMA categories, and the emotional way Stapleton sings the song makes it a fan favorite."We've had a lot of folks say that the song had a really special meaning for them — people that have lost a loved one, who had been through some personal tragedy," Henderson said. "It does seem to touch people, which as a songwriter, you're trying to do."______"Tequila" by Dan + Shay, nominated for single and song of the year:Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney genuinely love tequila. They drink it on tour and at home, but the duo wasn't really looking for party song about getting drunk."So we flipped that," said Smyers. "Tequila was basically the trigger that took you back to a certain place, so it's a nostalgic heartbreak song, which is kind of Dan + Shay's wheelhouse."The song, co-written with Nicolle Galyon and Jordan Reynolds, crossed from country to pop radio, even peaking at No. 21 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Smyers said he's sees the crossover success as an advantage in building fans among people who don't traditionally listen to country music."This could be their gateway into country," Smyers said. "They hear that song and say, 'I love that,' and flip over to the country station."______"Meant to Be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, nominated for single of the year:It's the song that has dominated country music for all of 2018. The inescapable, record-breaking monster hit has surpassed 1 billion streams, achieved four-times platinum status and reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart.Songwriter David Garcia wrote the song in Los Angeles with Rexha, FGL's Tyler Hubbard and songwriter Josh Miller and it was originally released on Rexha's 2017 EP, "All Your Fault: Pt. 2.""There is a little more merging of L.A. and Nashville now more than ever," Garcia said.Garcia said while he'd love to see the song win, he's not putting any bets down. He attributes the song's success in part to Rexha's huge streaming popularity.But it's also a polarizing contender with many arguing it's not a true country song and its crossover success could turn off some more traditionally-minded CMA voters.Garcia said he doesn't concern himself with those critics."I believe we're in an amazing place where the fans and the listeners decide what their favorite songs are," he said. "I think the song is undeniable in what it is."______"Body Like a Back Road" by Sam Hunt, nominated for song of the year, and "Drinkin' Problem" by Midland, nominated for single of the year:Both songs were created in part by the songwriting-producing power duo Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, but they are on different spectrums of the genre.Sam Hunt's 2017 hit crossed to pop and became a five-times platinum success with a catchy, finger-snapping rhythm. But even McAnally admits to being a bit surprised about seeing it pop up on the nominee list again after it lost last year in the same category ("Better Man," written by Taylor Swift for Little Big Town, won the prize).Even though it was not released in the eligibility period, Hunt's song made the second ballot because it remained a Top 5 country single. The fact that "Body Like a Back Road" hasn't won any CMA Awards, despite being nominated three times, suggests that pop crossovers might not be the key factor to winning."There's a five-way race for this one," McAnally said of the song of the year category. "There's not a 'Girl Crush' that feels like a steamroller. I just don't know who could win."Meanwhile, Midland broke out as a neo-traditionalist band with "Drinkin' Problem," a George Strait-style throwback."I would love to see it win single of the year because of its traditional sound," McAnally said. "(Single of the year) is about commercial impact, but I've always thought about it as the sound of the record."______"Drunk Girl" by Chris Janson, nominated for song of the year:Most country singers steer away from politically charged topics, but during the #MeToo movement, Janson had a pointed message for men. "Take the drunk girl home," he sings, and walk away.Janson said he wrote the song with Tom Douglas and Scooter Carusoe long before #MeToo spread virally last year, but with Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings this year, the song was relevant enough to gain a nomination."I am not really a soapbox guy," Janson said. "I just write what I write and sing what I sing. I do believe in the message very powerfully and I am glad that it is connecting."CMA voters do like message songs: Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind" and Kacey Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow" both won because they had something important to say. But the bluntness of the song has given some critics pause, most notably when a New Yorker column called it a "#MeToo misfire."But Janson says he's not trying to appeal to everyone."I've never really tried to sell this song to anybody or shove it down anybody's throat," he said. 6996

More than half a million businesses received the federal funds the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The program was created in March to help small business and their employees survive the financial impact of the pandemic. The program lent businesses money at a low-interest rate, with the potential for the loans to be forgiven or turned into a grant if the company retained and paid their workers for a given time.Watchdog groups, like U.S. PIRG, were among many groups and elected leaders that called for transparency with PPP. After initially resisting, in May, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Small Business Administration announced they would release the names of all businesses that received a PPP loan in the amount of 0,000 or more.Earlier this month, that list was released. What has come to light is that millionaire, billionaires, and even some celebrities received the federal aid intended to help struggling small businesses. For example, rapper and fashion designer Kanye West, with an estimated net worth of .3 billion, received a PPP loan for his company Yeezy.“From the very outset, the public, watchdogs, and elected officials had a very good reason to want data to see where this money was going,” said R.J. Cross with U.S. PIRG. “As we just learned, we had good reason to be questioning is this program going to do what it was intended to do?”Cross is calling for the federal government to take steps to find out how much money went to small businesses and how much went to larger companies that may have had access to other sources of cash to get them through the financial hardship.“A big improvement on the program would be true audits on all of the loan amounts,” said Cross. “That, say, if we find that you could’ve probably gotten money somewhere else we are going to take those taxpayers dollars back.”Currently, only loans over million will be audited, but most of the loans taken out, including some by millionaires and billionaires, were just below that threshold.“We don’t have any proof to say that they picked that amount strategically, but it certainly raises questions,” Cross added.Watchdog groups say the only way to answer those questions for the American people is continued transparency and expanded audits.“Fraud and corruption are a real concern anytime the government is spending and giving money to companies, and especially, the pace in which it is happening right now,” Cross said. “There is reason to keep a very close eye on what is happening next. The biggest bailout in U.S. history deserves the most transparency in U.S. history.”The SBA and treasury department have not given an indication that they will expand audits. Even if they did, it would take months, and potentially years, to get the results of those audits, followed by a potential hurdle to make the results public. 2855

More transgender and gender-nonconforming people have been killed this year than any other year prior since data has been tracked.According to the Human Rights Campaign, which has been tracking the deaths since 2013, at least 33 trans or gender non-conforming people have been killed in the United States in 2020.“There’s a loud minority of folks who feel it is their place to punish people who have different beliefs than they do,” said Tori Cooper, a transgender woman herself who works with the HRC. “It is difficult to sometimes articulate how each death feels, like a little part of your spirit is being taken away.”Cooper says as LGBTQ issues get more exposure, more risk is taken on by the community. She also says each year the reporting gets more accurate, which could be why the trend has gone the way it has.“There [are] so many things that you find in common; so many commonalities with these people who have been murdered that it feels each time a little closer to home,” said Cooper.For Cooper, that feeling was never more pronounced than after 33-year old Felycya Harris, another trans woman, was killed on October 8 by a man she was in a romantic relationship with. Both live in Georgia, and both can identify with the fact that most of these deaths have come at the hands of those closest to the victim.“When someone says something under their breath you have to think to yourself is this person going to kill me,” said Cooper. “That may sound, to folks outside the community, hyperbolic, but the truth is it isn’t.”Cooper says the way forward is in education, empathy, and working through any discomfort about transgender issues that may be different than our own.“If folks who in our same social circles are killing us, then if we can’t trust people who we know then who is it that we can trust,” said Cooper.She says only then can we work towards reversing a trend that has Cooper and others apprehensive about something inherent to all of us: connection.“Provide folks with the love, support, and encouragement that we, as trans people, need because that provides a modicum of safety,” she said. 2124
