A garment factory building in Dhaka, Bangladesh collapsed on April 24th 2013 killing over 420 people. The eight-story building was illegally constructed beyond its intended five stories, and had visible cracks on the seventh floor. Hundreds of garment workers were inside at the time of the collapse, as they feared losing their jobs if they did not go to work. In response, the Bangladeshi parliament introduced new reforms aimed at improving safety standards for employees in the garment industry.

Drinking and Drivingkjhansen02

Drinking and driving causes significant harm in the United States. It is responsible for one third of traffic accidents and results in someone being killed by a drunk driver every 40 minutes on average. Over 1.4 million drivers were arrested for drunk driving in 2007 alone, which is less than 1% of the estimated 159 million instances of drunk driving that year. Drinking and driving can lead to death, injuries, legal consequences like jail time and license suspension, and financial costs from accidents. While some people may do it to seem daring, the risks far outweigh any perceived benefits.

Mergers and acquisitions can help companies grow but may also result in job losses. Investors and analysts monitor stock prices of the involved companies during and after mergers and acquisitions to see how the transactions might impact share values.

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) aims to improve education standards and hold schools accountable. It requires annual testing and aims to reduce dropout rates. However, NCLB is criticized for unfairly punishing schools and putting too much pressure on teachers without giving them power. Now, President Obama wants to rewrite NCLB to adapt to current needs by dropping the 2014 proficiency deadline and focusing on the lowest 5% of schools.

Teen driving projectTonya Nevers

Drunk driving among teen drivers is a serious issue because their reaction times are slowered when intoxicated, increasing the chance of accidents. Teenagers often do not recognize the dangers of drinking and driving because they feel invincible. The crash rate for 16 to 19 year olds is 2.7 times higher than all other drivers. Organizations like MADD and SADD work to prevent underage drinking and driving through education, support for victims, and resistance to peer pressure. New technologies could help solve this problem by detecting alcohol levels in vehicles or recognizing impaired driving.

The document traces the origins of comics from early cave paintings and medieval church art that combined images and words, to the political cartoons of William Hogarth in the 18th century. It discusses how Rodolphe Topffer is widely considered the first to combine sequential images and words to tell narrative stories. In the 19th century, improvements in printing and literacy helped newspapers and magazines expand, including the emergence of penny dreadfuls and humor magazines containing early comic strips. By the early 20th century, comics were being published regularly in newspapers and magazines for both children and adults.

Drinking and driving leads to many fatalities and accidents. Over half of holiday driving deaths and 17% of child fatalities in vehicle crashes involve alcohol impairment. Young adults between 18-20 are responsible for over 10% of drunk driving trips. The rate of impaired drivers in fatal crashes is four times higher at night than during the day. Many who drink and drive are not alcoholics but still make the dangerous choice to endanger others.

Unpredictable Earnings: The volatility of pay packets and its impact on livin...ResolutionFoundation

��

Most people are used to receiving regular monthly pay cheques, hopefully with the occasional bonus and an annual rise. But while this is often taken for granted, for other workers the size and timing of their pay cheques are far more volatile – with knock on effects on their ability to pay bills, save, plan ahead and smooth their living standards over time. But with Brits notoriously adverse to talking about pay, the scale of earnings volatility across the country is unknown. How many workers are subject to volatile earnings, and how much does the timing and size vary from pay cheque to pay cheque? Who is most likely to experience earnings volatility, and in which industries is it most prevalent? What are the wider living standards consequences for families? And what can policy makers do to mitigate the impacts of unpredictable earnings?
