Officials Claim The Fire That Destroyed Knoxville Planned Parenthood Was Set On Purpose.

According to fire officials, a fire that damaged a Planned Parenthood health clinic in Knoxville, Tennessee, last month was deliberately set.

When the building burned down on Dec. 31, Planned Parenthood stated it was nearing the finish of a $2.2 million remodeling and expansion project.

In a statement, Ashley Coffield, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi, stated, "This is an abhorrent and tragic act of violence against Planned Parenthood, our patients, and our community."

The health clinic had already been targeted.

On the 48th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court judgement, which recognized the constitutional right to an abortion, someone fired a shotgun at its front doors on Jan. 22, 2021.

"We are devoted to our patients in East Tennessee and will not let this attack take away the important health care services on which they rely," Coffield added, "even if it will take time to rebuild."

The fire department stated Thursday that investigators are trying to figure out who is responsible and have requested for the public's help. For information that leads to prosecution, a $10,000 prize is being offered.

They simply make better financial decisions daily. They save before spending, avoid unnecessary debt, and stay disciplined even when nobody is watching. Building wealth does not always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like skipping impulse purchases, paying bills on time, or investing small amounts regularly. These habits may seem simple, but over time, they quietly create financial freedom. 1. Paying Yourself First One of the smartest financial habits is saving money before spending it. Many people wait until the end of the month to save whatever is left. Usually, nothing remains.

Timothy Affleck , the father of Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck , is sounding off in a rare interview, revealing that he believes that fame has taken a major "toll" on both of his famous sons. In new interview with Grazia , Timothy, who revealed that he's had his own battle against the bottle, said that he attributes many of his sons' issues, specifically Ben's well-documented issues with alcohol, to the gilded facade of Tinsel Town.

Raw milk may prevent allergy and asthma, but is it safe?

Raw milk has been linked to lower rates of allergy and asthma. That being said, it can also harbor deadly bacteria. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warn against consuming raw milk because it can contain bacteria that have the potential to cause serious illness and death. Pasteurization, which is the process of heating milk to kill bacteria, is the only way to ensure that milk is safe to drink. Yet scientific studies link raw milk consumption - especially in early life - to lower levels of allergy and asthma. Is this evidence convincing enough to risk drinking potentially unsafe raw milk? Raw milk during childhood Georg Loss, from the University of Basel in Switzerland, and his colleagues from across Europe conducted a study in European children aged between 6 and 12. They showed that allergy and asthma rates are lower in those who drank only raw milk. Children who drank some raw and some regular milk had lower allergy rates, but only...
