California’s woman veterans are part of a long and proud legacy of military service. Throughout the years, women went to great lengths to serve alongside their male counterparts. Historically, many disguised themselves by dressing as men, leaving behind their homes and families to pledge their lives and allegiance to this nation. Women sacrificed so much to serve their country, yet far too often, they have done so without the recognition and gratitude they deserve.

Angels Camp, CA...Margaret Mary Cairns, my paternal grandmother, was born and raised in Ireland. She began working in a tartan factory at age eight or nine and when she married, she used this skill to make clothing for her eight children and bring in a little money from sewing for others. She married at a young age, and when her husband, my grandfather, Gavin Baxter, came to the United States, she stayed behind to raise their one daughter until he could find employment and earn enough money to send for them. This lasted ten years!

Four hundred years ago—on March 16, 1621—an English-speaking Indian from the Abenaki tribe strode into the new settlement of Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. He greeted the astonished Pilgrims and requested a beverage brewed from fermented cereal grains.

|
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/15/2021 09:00 PM
|
Glasgow, Scotland....People with high levels of emotional intelligence are less likely to be susceptible to ‘fake news’, according to research at the University of Strathclyde. The study invited participants to read a series of news items on social media and to ascertain whether they were real or fictitious, briefly describing the reasons for their answers. They were also asked to complete a test to determine their levels of emotional intelligence (EQ or emotional quotient) and were asked a number of questions when considering the veracity of each news item.
