For Democrats, Kansas has become Exhibit A in their prosecution of the Trump tax cuts. It's routinely cited as evidence the new GOP proposal won’t grow the economy or pay for itself, and that proposed business tax reduction similar to Brownback’s will create a new loophole for wealthy individuals to exploit.

Dogs really can smell your fear, and then they get scared too
Dog owners swear that their furry best friend is in tune with their emotions. Now it seems this feeling of interspecies connection is real: dogs can smell your emotional state, and adopt your emotions as their own. Science had already shown that dogs can see and hear the signs of human emotions, says Biagio D’Aniello of the University of Naples “Federico II”, Italy. But nobody had studied whether dogs could pick up on olfactory cues from humans....D’Aniello and his colleagues tested whether dogs could sniff out human emotions by smell alone. First, human volunteers watched videos designed to cause fear or happiness, or a neutral response, and the team collected samples of their sweat. Next, the researchers presented these odour samples to domestic dogs, and monitored the dogs’ behaviours and heart rates. Dogs exposed to fear smells showed more signs of stress than those exposed to happy or neutral smells. They also had higher heart rates, and sought more reassurance from their owners and made less social contact with strangers....D’Aniello’s study suggests humans can inadvertently hijack their dogs’ emotions by releasing smells. A second study suggests dogs can return the favour, using their expressive faces. Juliane Kaminski of the University of Portsmouth, UK, and her colleagues have found that dogs’ faces are most expressive when they know people are looking at them. The researchers introduced dogs to a human who was either looking at them or facing away, and either presenting food or offering nothing. The team analysed how much the dogs’ facial movements varied in the four scenarios. They found that the dogs’ facial expressions varied the most when the person was looking at them. In contrast, Kaminski says there was no sign of a “dinner table effect”, “which would predict that dogs try and look super-cute when they want something from the humans.”

TIL that…
Astronauts living aboard the International Space Station actually live closer to the graveyard of spacecraft than anyone else. This is because the ISS orbits about 250 miles above Earth — and Point Nemo, when the orbital laboratory flies overhead. (The nearest island, meanwhile, is much farther away.)

As scientific research has now proven, our DNA, shown on this page in the familiar double helix configuration, holds the genetic codes for your physical and emotional evolution. Still to be discovered by science is the fact that your #DNA has a much greater purpose than simply being a blueprint for your body.
The Genome Project decoded only approximately 3% of the total physical DNA. The remaining 97% was then termed "junk", inferring it has no purpose. The truth is that the human body is extremely efficient and anything that is of no use becomes atrophied and is evolved out of existence within a few generations.
If 97% of our DNA is junk, why do we still have it?
That so-called "junk DNA" in your body contains all your history since you first incarnated onto this planet, many lifetimes ago. It's where your akashic record, the record of your Soul, resides. Our DNA has been called a living library because of the wealth of information stored on it. http://humansarefree.com/2011/04/amazing-scientists-our-dna-is-mutating.html

Color Blindness Test lets you to make the Ishihara Color Test on your device
The Ishihara Color Test is a color perception test for red-green color deficiencies compounded of pseudo-isochromatic plates. It was published by the Dr Shinobu Ishihara, a professor at the University of Tokyo, in 1917.
Color Blindness Test offers you to make the long Ishihara Color Test version with 24 plates. During the test, you will have to see 24 plates and answer to questions to say what do you see on the screen. At the end of the test, based on your answers, Color Blindness Test could provide you a result for your Ishihara Color Test. Thus, you could have a normal color vision, a total color blindness, a red green color blindness, a red color blind vision (protanopia), a mild red color blind vision (prontanomaly), a green color blind vision (deuteranopia) or still a mild green color blind vision (deuteranomaly). You can keep a trace of your previous tests via the History feature.
Note, that the result given by Color Blindness Test has no real medical value. It's just an indication of your color vision level. To be sure of your color vision, you must consult a specialist that will make you more complete exams.
