DACA recipients receive new pathways to financing their homes
Wed Jan 20
Trump did more than pardon Lil Wayne during his final few days in office. The former administration's last acts included a change that allows immigrants under the DACA program to apply for federally-backed mortgages, which have more flexible qualification requirements than conventional loans.
What is the DACA program again?
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program allows some individuals, who were brought to the U.S. as children without legal authorization, to defer deportation every two years and become eligible for work permits if they maintain a clean criminal record.
Now, these DACA recipients have been classified as "non-citizens" — in other words, while they may not be citizens, they are lawfully present in the country. This new language makes them eligible for mortgages from the Federal Housing Administration. DACA recipients currently represent $613.8 million in annual mortgage payments.
But wasn't Trump's administration trying to terminate DACA?
Yes, though that effort failed last June in a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling. Some speculate the recent change was made as a courtesy to the Biden administration, who already had this as one of their early action items. Meanwhile President Biden is also working to give DACA recipients permanent legal status with a path to citizenship.
The state of Washington is partnering with home-grown experts Starbucks, Microsoft, Costco, and the National Guard to help reach their goal of 45,000 vaccinations daily. So far, they are behind schedule with just under 0.5% of the population vaccinated, though promises of operational efficiency and design expertise from the aforementioned corporations may change that.
What's causing vaccine rollout delays?
Washington isn't the only state struggling, and a few roadblocks seem to be the cause.
First, limited prep time. Congress allocated $9 billion to help states just last month, limiting the time local officials had to develop distribution plans.
Second, vaccine preservation. Doses not only began arriving during peak holiday frenzy, but also have short shelf-lives.
Lastly, the doses. With two doses required, there are additional logistics complications for states to navigate.

LAPD gets green light to identify suspects through facial recognition
Wed Jan 13
It might be a good time to be wearing face masks in LA. In a unanimous ruling, the LAPD has been approved to use facial recognition software. The department says they intend to use this technology to investigate crimes, mitigate an imminent threat to life, or help identify a person incapable of doing so (for example, if deceased).
Problem is, facial recognition algorithms can be dangerously inaccurate for anyone who is not a young, white male.
Error rates can be up to 34% higher for dark-skinned women than light-skinned men.
Asian and African American populations were up to 100 times more likely to be misidentified than white men.
Women, children, and the elderly are all more likely to be falsely identified than men.
In fact, such inaccuracy is what led a Black male to be falsely identified in Detroit. The man, Robert Williams, was arrested on his front lawn, in front of his wife and young daughters, after being mistaken for someone who stole $3,800 worth of expensive watches.
For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .
