“Riders of Justice” will keep you guessing throughout, with its mix of near-slapstick comedy and intellectual commentary, its heartfelt demonstrations and extreme violence. With teen-aged Mathilde (Andrea Heick Gadeberg) as the most sober individual of a quartet of oddballs determine to avenge a murder, the film has an assortment of folks with different personalities (and body weights) facing a gang called Riders of Justice. The bad guys are so determined to prevent a witness from testifying at a trial that they arrange a train crash to kill him, a blast so sudden and explosive that for a few seconds you’d think you were watching a war movie.

Dr. Hilary Renoâs eyes widened as she scanned the waiting room at the St. Louis County Sexual Health Clinic in Missouri, where sheâs the medical director. She was used to seeing a swath of humanity parked in those plastic chairs: middle-aged men secretly screening after a tryst; college students making a post-hookup pit stop; teenagers, fresh in love, testing together before taking the next step. But now, in the spring of 2019, every seat was filled, with more patients leaning up against the walls. âHow,â she thought to herself, âcan we possibly keep up?â
Sexually transmitted infections increasing in the military 6 days ago Service members attend a briefing on sexually transmitted infections April 5, 2019, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. (Airman 1st Class Alexi Myrick/Air Force) Cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis have increased significantly across the military over the past eight years, a study found. Black service members, women, and enlisted personnel with lower levels of education are most at risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections, according to the study published in the March edition of the Medical Surveillance Monthly Report, a peer-reviewed military health journal. The study analyzed administrative data and reports from all four branches of the military to provide a comprehensive picture of STIs between 2012 and 2020, using medical and diagnostic codes to identify instances of the five most common STIs chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes and human papillomavirus, or HPV.
Amy: My husband and I recently welcomed our first child.
On my side of the extended family, our baby son (âSamuelâ) is the fifth grandchild, but on my husbandâs side, he is the first.
I am trying to be sensitive to the excitement and extra attention a first grandchild receives.
My mother-in-law, âJoan,â has been to our house for a visit of a weekâs duration each month since Samâs birth. Each time she visits, I am more hesitant to welcome her back.
Joan is blatantly disregarding the parenting strategy my husband and I have adopted in favor of her own techniques. She does this against our specific instructions and without discussion.
An Agency to Serve the Public
Next, the exhibit explores how CDC became an agency to serve the public through the “Great Society” program started by President Lyndon B. Johnson. For this program, Congress passed legislation that fought against poverty; protected civil rights; and aimed to improve education, health, and mass transit.
This legislation reflected an expanding belief in social progress – essentially building a greater society in the U.S. In this social context, CDC expanded its public health programs in the 1960s and early 1970s. While surveillance of infectious diseases was still central to CDC’s work, disease prevention was also emphasized. By 1970, the agency’s work included chronic disease prevention, environmental health, injury control, and workplace safety.
