Editorial: Derek Schmidt wants Kansas to be more like Ron DeSantis’ Florida? Has he lost his mind? If Derek Schmidt likes Ron DeSantis’ Florida so much, he ought to buy a timeshare in Boca, but leave the cruel immigration policies, reckless COVID-19 protocols and divisive rhetoric where it is. Schmidt, the Republican candidate for Kansas governor, promised over the weekend that if elected, he’d do his best to make Kansas more like Florida.
Over the past decade or two, farmhouse décor has been an in vogue style of interior design. It makes me chuckle when I think about people who don’t live on a farm trying to create clean and pretty spaces through white wash, distressed paint and vintage hardware. Real farmhouses are rarely as desirable as this style is made out to be.
Nuclear power reactors are not nuclear bombs. To understand the huge difference, it is necessary to understand the levels of uranium enrichment. Uranium from open pit or underground mining is usually only 0.1 percent or 1/1,000th uranium. It must go through a milling process in order to separate out most of the uranium and discard the ore. This natural uranium is made of a mix of 238U and 235U. Uranium 238 is stable, but 235U is “fissile.” This means that it is split with neutrons and in turn produces particles to continue the reaction, splitting other 235U atoms. The naturally extracted ore is usually over 99 percent the inert 238U. Nuclear reactors generally require enriched uranium with higher concentrations of 235U, usually between 3.5 and 4.5 percent.
The Kansas State Fair kicked off with a debate between two candidates for governor. During the debate Republican Derek Schmidt was asked if Kansas is better off today than it was under former Governor Sam Brownback. Schmidt refused to answer the question. As a state are we better off? Yes. And I think most Kansans would agree.
Recently, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly affirmed a deep-rooted conviction about Kansas agriculture: “In Kansas, farming is a way of life and local Kansas farms are vital to our economy – they feed the nation and the world.”
If you went to high school in the United States anytime since the 1960s, you were likely assigned some of the following books: Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” “Julius Caesar” and “Macbeth”; John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men”; F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby”; Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird”; and William Golding’s “The Lord of the Flies.” For many former students, these books and other so-called “classics” represent high school English. But despite the efforts of reformers, both past and present, the most frequently assigned titles have never represented America’s diverse student body. Why did these books become classics in the U.S.? How have they withstood challenges to their status? And will they continue to dominate high school reading lists?
Dear Doctors: I got sick with COVID-19 this summer -- racing heart, heavy lungs, the whole bit. I was just getting back to normal when our part of Washington got hit hard with smoke from wildfires. It seems like it’s making my COVID-19 symptoms come back. How can I stay safe while this is going on?
I wish to address the slogan “no uterus, no opinion.” Men should have a voice in this issue. First, as Ben Shapiro said, “My identity has nothing to do with what’s right or wrong.” Secondly, I would argue that the baby is theirs too, as, without a man, there would be no child.
Near the end of a meeting of the planning and zoning board of Harvey County, Patrick Wendling offered some sage words as he prepared to offer a motion to accept the language of a conditional use permit for wind energy projects.
