...most part, solutions involved technological fixes—reducing the emissions of pollutants either by pre-treating fuels prior to combustion or by installing devices in the smoke stacks of power plants and factories, or in the tail pipes of cars, to accomplish a similar objective. Alternatively, we opted to switch to less polluting fuels such as natural gas. In either case, the solutions involved increased expense. We have been modestly successful in addressing the issue of air pollution in more affluent societies. It remains serious, however, in large developing countries such as China and India where coal...
Getting pregnant without infecting a partner is the first obstacle for those women.

During the first trimester of pregnancy, the women take a break from any antiretroviral drugs they may have been taking so that the fetus is not exposed during this critical developmental window.

So the father in this dizzy, rapturous adventure picture must allow Tomme to do his own thing; indeed, he must destroy the part...
...They’ve called for everyone in the room at least three times so we’ve gotten about fifteen calls,” said Melendez. “We asked for an opt out number but when we called it they said it was only applicable to Clout customers. They put us on hold and ultimately hung...
