Extractions: Traveling With Your Pet Dogs, cats, and most other warm-blooded animals transported in commerce are protected by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The U.S. Department of Agriculture¹s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) enforces this law. APHIS¹ shipping regulations help ensure that people who transport and handle animals covered under the AWA treat them humanely. Airlines and other shippers are affected by regulations established to protect the wellbeing of animals in transit. Trip Preparation for Air Transportation Before taking a flight with your animal, have your veterinarian examine your pet to ensure that it is healthy enough to make the trip. Airlines and State health officials generally require health certificates for all animals transported by air. In most cases, health certificates must be issued by a licensed veterinarian who examined the animal within 10 days of transport. Ask your veterinarian to provide any required vaccinations or treatments. Administer tranquilizers only if specifically prescribed by your veterinarian and only in the prescribed dosage. Trips Outside the Continental United States Hawaii, U.S. territories, and certain foreign governments have quarantine or health requirements for arriving pets. For information on Hawaii¹s requirements, contact your State Veterinarian¹s office. For U.S. territories and foreign countries, contact the appropriate embassy, governmental agency, or consulate at least 4 weeks in advance. You may also contact a full-service travel agency for assistance. Additional airline requirements also exist for inter-national flights. These rules may require additional ventilation, labeling, and a shipper¹s certification. Contact your airline for information about these requirements.

Extractions: of Rapidocs America's workforce is aging. And as workers stay on the job longer, they generally move up the compensation ladder, acquiring more benefits and higher salaries. They also become more expensive for employers to keep around. This has led to a problem for many older workers, who increasingly face lay-offs (quaintly known as company downsizing or "right" sizing) and difficulties finding new jobs. Laws now afford some protection to older workers who face discrimination in the workplace and also help protect their pension rights when they leave. Possibly. The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) provides that workers over the age of 40 cannot be arbitrarily discriminated against because of age in any employment decision. Perhaps the single most important rule under the ADEA is that no worker can be forced to retire.

Workers and their families lose wages, and the country loses the goods or services which could have been produced. In addition, the purchasing power of these workers is lost, which can lead to unemployment for yet other workers. To know about unemploymentthe extent and nature of the problemrequires information.

Extractions: what's protecting us? "It's wrong when someone avoids taking a genetic test that could save a life just because they're so afraid that the genetic information will be used against them…It's more than wrong, it's a life-threatening abuse of a potentially life-saving discovery." President William J. Clinton (1997 press conference) "Just as we have addressed discrimination based on race, gender and age, we must now prevent discrimination based on genetic information." President George W. Bush (2001 radio address) Genetic information has the potential to revolutionize medicine and lead to unprecedented prevention, treatment and cure. However, it also has the potential to do harm. Genetic information can be misused, and currently there are few protections in place to prevent it. Each of us has probably half a dozen or more mutations in our genes that put us at risk for developing disease. This means that, if our genes were sequenced, virtually all of us could be potential victims of genetic discrimination in health insurance or in the workplace.
