![]() Most states have similar requirements: for example California requires that legislators have been citizens for three years, and the Governor has been a citizen for five years, upon taking office. The United States Constitution requires that all members of the United States House of Representatives have been citizens for seven years, and that all senators have been citizens for nine years, before taking office. Historically, many states and local jurisdictions have allowed non-citizens to vote however, today this is limited to local elections in very few places. The United States Constitution bars states from restricting citizens from voting on grounds of race, color, previous condition of servitude, sex, failure to pay any tax, or age (for citizens who are at least eighteen years old). States are not required to extend the franchise to all citizens: for example, several states bar citizen felons from voting, even after they have completed any custodial sentence. Voting for federal office in all fifty states and the District of Columbia is restricted to citizens only.Unlike permanent residents, United States citizens do not have an obligation to maintain residence in the United States – they can leave for any length of time and return freely at any time.

Certain non-citizens, such as lawful permanent residents, have similar rights however, non-citizens, unlike citizens, may have the right taken away. United States citizens have the right to reside and work in the United States. ![]() The United States military has been an all-volunteer force since the end of the Vietnam War, but male United States citizens and non-citizens are still required to register for the military draft within 30 days of their 18th birthday. At the time of the American Civil War, state citizenship assumed a much increased importance when it was widely deemed to have a prior claim over the citizens' loyalty in the seceding Southern states. State citizenship may affect (1) tax decisions, (2) eligibility for some state-provided benefits such as higher education, and (3) eligibility for state political posts such as United States senator. National citizenship signifies membership in the country as a whole state citizenship, in contrast, signifies a relation between a person and a particular state and has application generally limited to domestic matters. United States citizenship can be renounced by Americans via a formal procedure at a United States embassy. A United States citizen retains United States citizenship when becoming the citizen of another country, should that country's laws allow it. Citizens of other countries who are naturalized as United States citizens may retain their previous citizenship, although they must renounce allegiance to the other country. United States law permits multiple citizenship. In Article One of the Constitution, the power to establish a "uniform rule of naturalization" is granted explicitly to Congress. The first of these two pathways to citizenship is specified in the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution which reads:Īll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. There are two primary sources of citizenship: birthright citizenship, in which persons born within the territorial limits of the United States are presumed to be a citizen, or-providing certain other requirements are met-born abroad to a United States citizen parent, and naturalization, a process in which an eligible legal immigrant applies for citizenship and is accepted. It serves as a foundation of fundamental rights derived from and protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States, such as freedom of expression, due process, the rights to vote (however, not all citizens have the right to vote in all federal elections, for example, those living in Puerto Rico), live and work in the United States, and to receive federal assistance. ![]() A passport is commonly used as an identity document and as proof of citizenship.Ĭitizenship of the United States is a legal status that entails Americans with specific rights, duties, protections, and benefits in the United States.

![]() ![]() That puts the Blazers in an especially tough spot to make a deal. There’s so much trade speculation at this spot as Portland tries to satisfy Damian Lillard’s desires to win now, but the offers might not come pouring in until Charlotte makes their decision at No. Portland Trail Blazers - Amen Thompson, G, Overtime Elite City Reapers Moving this pick for Williamson would be incredibly risky, but the upside of the Zion-LaMelo pairing is just too enticing to pass up. The only way I’d consider not taking Henderson as Charlotte is if Zion Williamson is available for a trade. It’s fair to argue that Brandon Miller is a better fit at this spot, but Charlotte might have the least talented roster in the league and is in no position to pass on the best player. It’s possible the fit with Ball will push both players to be better in the long-term: Henderson will need to become more of an off-ball threat starting with improving his spot-up jumper, and Ball will be forced to stay engaged defensively with a small guard next to him. Henderson isn’t an ideal fit on a team that already has LaMelo Ball installed at point guard, but he’s still the no-brainer pick at No. Charlotte Hornets - Scoot Henderson, PG, G League Ignite The Spurs’ dynasty has been dormant for the last few years, but it will be back before you know it. The 7’5 super prospect should be a monster at the rim on both ends of the floor from the minute he enters the league, but he’s also going to get every opportunity to make plays all over the floor. The Spurs feel like a perfect landing spot for Wembanyama: he’ll be able to test the limits of his game with no immediate pressure to win on a team already loaded with perfectly-fit complementary pieces like Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan, and Keldon Johnson. One of the best prospects in NBA history, full stop. Victor Wembanyama is one of the best NBA Draft prospects ever. San Antonio Spurs - Victor Wembanyama, C, Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92 Here’s our latest first round mock, based on a combination of my own board and team fit. Keep it locked to SB Nation this week for a big board, draft grades, a 2024 mock draft, a feature on the Thompson twins, and more coverage. We’ve been doing mock drafts this class since the day after the 2022 draft. We tried something different for this one: every pick is what I would do with the selection, not necessarily what I think will happen. With draft day finally arriving on Thursday, it’s time for another mock draft. 3 overall pick for a veteran star, but the front office can’t make a shortsighted deal when it has a chance to add a premier young talent. Damian Lillard would probably like the Portland Trail Blazers to trade their No. The New Orleans Pelicans want G League Ignite point guard Scoot Henderson, but they would have to trade into the top-three to get him. There are a few things we know for sure about the 2023 NBA Draft. ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite the 45mm drivers requiring pretty large earcups, the headset never feels heavy or tight on my head. The ATH-G元 are incredibly lightweight and flexible. This could just be an instance of the cord or internal plug getting damaged, but it happened shortly after I started using the headset, so keep an eye out. The ATH-G元 sounds great when plugged into the best gaming PC or the best gaming laptop, and when used as a headset for listening to some tunes. It easily plugs into my Xbox Series S controller, although I notice it needs a bit of a wiggle where the cord inserts into the headset in order to play sound clearly in both ears. (Image credit: Audio-Technica) Performance ![]() The open-back GD元 are almost identical save for a metal grate on the ear cups signifying the open-back design, and slightly thicker cushions thanks to a deeper-recessed driver. The closed-back G元 features matte-black or matte-white plastic ear cups with cushy leatherette ear cushions that are detachable for easy replacement.īright blue cords and a bright blue interior ear cup make for a lovely pop of color. A rubber strap rests on your head protecting you from the thin metal headband that connects the ear cups - yup, there's no cushion whatsoever on the headband, which may surprise you. ![]() The Audio-Technica ATH-G元 and its open-back sister the GD元 are nearly identical in design, though you can choose between an all-black or a black-and-white colorway for both. Connection: 3.0m cable with 3.5mm mic and headphone plugs for computers (G元) 1.2m cable with a 3.5mm TRRS plug for gaming consoles (GD元)Ĭompatibility: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mobile ![]() ![]() This is only natural, as scents are one of the strongest triggers of pleasant thoughts and happy memories. Having some kind of a stronger pleasant aroma can help bring a feeling of comfort and happiness that is often missing from the home. Sometimes just freshening the air isn’t enough. Although the smell of each individual melt will last only around 5 hours, there are plenty of melts included in the kit to help give your home a long-lasting pleasant smell. ![]() Each unit is made in the shape of a rectangle and is compatible with any type of wax warmer. The four packages of Febreze waxes with different flavors are suitable for use in any room - even in the bedroom, or in the kitchen. This helps provide a long-lasting solution to making your home smell clean and fresh, making these wax melts much more useful than many other types of air fresheners. Thanks to the OdorClear technology provided in the construction of each of these wax melts, the melting of these candles do not just mask but eliminate unpleasant odors in the house. The Febreze Freshener Wax Melts are no different, bringing the Febreze name and its capabilities for freshening the air into the world of wax melts. This shouldn’t have any negative effect on the wax melts, though, as they retain their aroma for a long time.įebreze has almost become a household name due to its proliferation of products that help to freshen the smells of various things, including clothing and even an entire room. Just take note of the original packaging, as the container they come in doesn’t seal very well after initially being opened. The wax melts are small enough to fit in any warmer, even allowing you to mix and match different flavors to provide a unique aroma. Several different flavors are included here, such as Mango Daiquiri and Watermelon Mojito, which all give a slightly sweet but very pleasant aroma that will fill your room for hours. ![]() ![]() These Funny bears candles from Happy Wax, saturated with natural essential oils, when melted in the heat will fill your home with a pleasant fruity aroma. One 8-oz pack of wax melts will give you up to 240 hours of enjoying incredible scents, which should last anyone for a long time. Thankfully, this problem doesn’t plague all such products, as can be attested to by the Happy Wax Soy Melts. Although wax melts typically last longer than candles in this regard, some people remain disappointed with the short duration that they are often good for. One of the problems that people often encounter with scented products such as candles or wax melts is in the short duration of the aromas that are released from them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Studies show that compression boots like Normatec boots have been shown to lessen pain by increasing clearance of blood lactate and circulation, and help heal injuries such as plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, knee pain, and arthritis pain, sore hips, and lower back pain. Compression therapy is a type of physical therapy that gently squeezes your legs to improve circulation which gets oxygen-rich blood flowing to your muscles to aid in recovery. The goal of compression therapy is to increase blood flow. Who should use compression boots and who shouldn’t use them?. ![]() How often can you use compression boots?.Then, I compared them after one another in consecutive sessions for multiple days.īefore I get to the review of the Normatec boots versus Bob and Brad boots, I want to answer some general questions about compression therapy such as: To conduct the review of these compression boots, I used them each independently during an intense week of training. In this article, I compare the trailblazers in the market of compression therapy machines, the Hypervice Normatec boots to the newest on the market, Bob and Brad’s leg compression boots. So, are these fancy leg compression machines worth it? That’s what I set to find out. Practically every recovery tool has this aim-including compression therapy.Īnd now there are several products flooding the market using compression therapy to improve recovery, including leg compression boots which come at a costly price. Most runners know that the way to recover is to increase blood flow. ![]() ![]() “Some people will be shocked by my images, but I think they form an educational purpose.” “I thought perhaps the rise in labiaplasty wouldn’t be happening if people understood more about what other women looked like,” she says. But it can be hard to find accurate information about this.” “The labia minora are usually first, and sometimes more prominent during the early stages. “The vulva takes many years to develop,” she says. ![]() She believes a cultural change amongst adolescents and young women, who now choose to remove or style the pubic hair, coupled with a lack of understanding about vulval anatomy, is fuelling the rise. And if it’s impacting your daily life, that’s when a gynecologist consultation is recommended.”ĭespite the expert assurance, Dr Athanasias believes labiaplasty is “on the rise.”ĭr Naomi Crouch, chair of the British Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology, has also noticed a “marked increase in girls and young women seeking labiaplasty” over the last few years.” The key is not concentrating on the size or shape but whether it affects your physical or emotional wellbeing. ![]() “Labia can be thin or thick, darker or lighter and sometimes longer on one side. “Studies have found that the labia majora (outer lips) length varies from approximately 6 to 12cm, and labia minora (inner lips) length varies from 2 to more than 10cm,” he explains. There’s also a misconception that the labia is supposed to be a certain length. “The idea that girls and young women think their vagina is ugly and want to change how it looks is just wrong, and sad.”Ĭonsultant gynecologist Dr Pandelis Athanasias says “there’s no such thing as a normal vagina – they naturally vary in size, shape or colour.” Later, a BBC report about girls as young as nine seeking labiaplasty – surgery that involves the lips of the vagina being shortened or reshaped – because they were distressed by its appearance, had Laura reaching for her camera again. ![]() The correct language and understanding of female genitalia is so important to me: the vulva is the whole external package, the vagina is a muscular tube which leads from the cervix (the neck of the womb) down to the vulva.” Shortly after, I came across a PDF health leaflet that disrespectfully referred to the vagina as ‘a front hole’. “I read a report about how 200 million girls and women around the world have suffered female genital mutilation (FGM), which angered and sickened me. In short: I’d have to confront the big stuff.” And although I’ve had pleasure, I’ve also experienced bad sex, traumatic birth and deep shame. You can’t go into a project where you interview women about their vulva, and not think about your own. I think a part of me was shying away from that intimacy because I would have to address my own related experiences. I also didn’t want to do it because I hadn’t faced myself in that way. “In my mind, I’d already covered women’s stories through breasts. At least, that’s what Laura set out to achieve. Now, her latest work puts vulvas and vaginas in the spotlight thanks to her new book Womanhood: The Bare Reality and forthcoming Channel 4 documentary: 100 Vaginas.Īnd when 100 women share intimate photos and deeply personal experiences relating to their vaginas, the result is a tender yet taboo-exploding message of women reclaiming their womanhood. In 2017, she focused her lens on penises to examine the concept of masculinity. The campaign reached its crowd-funding target of £10,900 in a day and featured powerful, untouched images and stories of anonymous participants aged 19 to 101. I first met Laura, a photographer from Surrey, in 2015 following her exploration of 100 women’s relationships with their breasts. We really need to talk about them because many women haven’t looked at their own. ![]() It’s so important for women to know what vulvas look like.

![]() Female beetles lay eggs, which hatch into larvae within 7-10 days. Meanwhile, beetles undergo complete metamorphosis, which means they pass through four life stages – egg, larval, pupal, and adult. These eggs hatch into nymphs usually from 20 to 60 days. Each egg capsule can contain 15-50 individual eggs. Female roaches lay a dark-colored, bean-sized egg case called ootheca. Life CycleĬockroaches undergo incomplete metamorphosis, which means they pass through three life stages – egg, nymphal, and adult. Here are the major differences between a cockroach and a beetle. Their life cycle, eating habits, behavior, and habitat are also not the same. But if you place them beside each other and will close closer, they don’t have the same physical appearance. What Is the Difference Between a Cockroach and a Roach?Īt first glance, some beetle species can be mistaken for roaches. Immature beetles are called larvae, which are worm-like grubs with true legs. Each foot has a pair of short but sharp claws and seems to be bending towards its body. Although most beetle species can fly well, some are flightless because their veinless and hard forewings meet and are fused to their bodies.Īll beetle species have compound eyes in front of their head and six short legs that have no hard spikes. They also have a hard head and two pairs of wings. Beetles have short antennae and chewing mouthparts, but some have huge piercer jaws.īeetles have cylindrical, segmented bodies, wherein you can easily notice the separation between their head and thorax. Some beetle species have stripes or marks or a combination of colors. They can be black, blue, brown, gold, green, orange, or red, and usually have bright colors. Related: What Is a Cockroach? | Information and Facts Beetle Identificationīeetles also come in different sizes, depending on the species. When viewed from above, their heads are somehow hidden. Their abdomen has 10 noticeable segments, while their head is covered with a big shield structure called pronotum. In short, there is no visible gap between their head, thorax, and abdomen. Roaches can easily be identified through their full-body wings. Most females are wingless or have very small wings and cannot fly. Their forewings called elytra serve as a protective covering for hindwings. Male adults have two pairs of wings, but only a few of them can fly. ![]() Young roaches (or nymphs) look the same as the adults, except that they are smaller and have no wings. Adult roaches can grow between 1/2 inch and 2 inches (12.7 and 50.8 mm) long. All roaches have compound eyes, long antennae, six spiny long legs, and flat, oval bodies covered with a hard shell (or exoskeleton).
