    SWITZERLAND SEGREGATION OF ASYLUM SEEKERS
    August 7, 2013 - Switzerland

    The first special center to house asylum seekers was opened in Bremgarten, Switzerland. Switzerland made a law to restrict the movements and public freedoms of asylum seekers in the country. The first such move was to house asylum seekers in special centers. Other measures included banning them from public places like swimming pools and libraries. Opponents say the measures are racist and discriminatory.

    In Oklahoma city more than 200 black protesters had a sit-in to protest the ban on blacks eating at white-only restaurants. The protesters marched from Calvary Baptist Church to the downtown area in 90 degree temperatures. Although the group maintained a policy of non-violence, the leader Mrs. Luper decided that if the sit-in failed the next step would be a boycott of Oklahoma city businesses.

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable.
