Do Generic Medications Harm Patients? - Duration: 2:49.A gift to Big Pharma this week as a study appearing in Circulation Cardiovascular Quality
Outcomes appears to show that the introduction of generic drugs is associated with a spike
in adverse events.
Before we get to the details of the study, a word on generics… in general.
Generics are evaluated based on documentation of bioequivalence to a brand and this has
a very technical and precise definition.
In the US and in Canada, for example, generics must show that the maximum concentration achieved
after a dose and the area under the dose curve is similar to that of the brand product.
But it is possible that the clinical effect of a generic may not be perfectly correlated
with its pharmacokinetic profile.
In that case, the introduction of a new generic may be met with adverse events among those
who switch.
This study examined what happened when three brand name drugs - all within the angiotensin
receptor blocker class – lost their patent allowing generics to be introduced to the
market.
Using administrative data encompassing all of Quebec, the researchers found that right
after the generic versions of these drugs became available, those who received the generics
had an increased risk of ER visits and hospitalizations.
Here's a representative graph looking at the introduction of valsartan.
You see a sharp uptick in adverse events the month the generic is introduced, followed
by a return closer to baseline levels.
What's happening here?
One explanation would be that a patient is switched to a generic and, due to a different
clinical effect, suffers an adverse event.
In the case of an ARB, maybe these ER visits were for hypotension or other side effects.
But I had another thought when I was reading this study.
What if what we're seeing is just the effect of new users having higher adverse event rates.
New users of the drugs who get a prescription right after the generics hit the markets are
likely to get the generic, whereas those who have been on the brand name for a while may
take some time to switch (as they may not need a refill yet) – so the spike seen right
after generic introduction may reflect the higher rate of adverse events expected in
new users of any drug compared to long-term users of those drugs.
I asked senior study author Paul Poirier about the new-user phenomenon.
He responded that "new users remained below 1% during that spike and the month after…we
do not think that the observed increase in adverse events right after generics commercialization…reflects
an acute reaction to a new ARB treatment regimen".
So not many new users, apparently, but the event rates increased from about 1% to 1.3%
in that first month – a small amount that could potentially be influenced by even a
small influx of incident users.
In any case, it's reassuring to see that in the long term, there doesn't seem to
be an increased risk associated with generic medication use.
I'll still happily switch my patients to generics, but I will also be extra-vigilant when doing
so.

Over Here, Over There: Immigrant Veterans of WWI (webinar) - Duration: 41:08.>> From the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
>> I think we'll get started
with a few introductions before we begin the formal webinar.
Again my name is Naomi [inaudible].
I'm an education specialist here in the library at the exhibition's office.
We really appreciate you joining today for this session as part
of the World War I webinar series.
As you know, this program's part of a number of events, of webinars and events,
especially connected to the library's exhibition "Echoes of the Great War: American Experiences
of World War I" which is on view here through January 2019.
Today's session will focus on immigrant veterans of the first world war,
and the work of the library's Veterans History Project better known here as VHP.
Our presenter today will be Owen Rogers, a liaison specialist in that office.
The presentation will last approximately 30 minutes with time
after that for Owen to answer questions.
You may note that you can talk with the panelists
and your fellow participants via the chat.
There's a little chat icon at the top of your WebEx window.
And use that to drop down to all attendees if you want to talk to everyone
or if you have just a question for one of the presenters you can send that way,
but we'd love to see everyone's questions there.
Please also, if you haven't already, tell us who you are and where you're watching
from so we have a sense of the breadth of our participants and also
to -- just to practice using the chat.
It really helps.
You can participate there in part because we have another colleague on the chat.
Her name is Megan Harris [assumed spelling].
She's a reference specialist from the Veterans History Project who will answer questions
and respond to inquiries as the session goes on,
and Owen will take additional questions at the end.
Kathy [inaudible] also one of our panelists.
She'd from our ed outreach division, and she's our technical host for the day.
So if you have any concerns, technical concerns, you can drop her a note as well.
We are recording today's session.
The recording will be posted on the library's website once we've been able to caption it.
You should find it there shortly several weeks after the program.
And, with that, I will turn the presentation over to Owen.
>> Thank you, Naomi.
Can everybody hear me?
All right.
Get us started here.
Well, welcome everybody.
My name's Owen Rogers.
I'm a public historian and I have about five years at the Library of Congress.
All of that is at the Veterans History Project, and even before then I worked --
I worked for about eight years collecting, recording, archiving,
and interpreting veterans stories both at a university level all the way
up from a volunteer interviewer which is the lifeblood of VHP.
We'll talk about that in a little bit.
On to a graduate intern and then a graduate assistant.
So my focus as public historian is on archival [inaudible] and at the Library of Congress some
of these vulnerable voices include immigrant veterans who you'll learn a little bit more
about today through the portal of World War I and the library's commemoration of the war.
So you'll see that this is our website,
and it really is the portal to the Veterans History Project.
It is both a participatory and also an archival resource.
And all of our archived veterans recordings can be accessed through --
by searching the veterans collections.
And that includes oral histories, media materials, creative works,
and also looking up around the project how to participate, looking at our blog posts,
and we also [inaudible] out the last archive on planet Earth to get a Facebook page.
You can read more about our collections of materials and see more of the kinds of things
that we're doing in terms of outreach and collections and interpretation here
at the library and also through tremendous coverage in every congressional district
in every state and most of the U.S. territories.
So really oral histories are the bread and butter of the Veterans History Project,
and you can see the broad range of oral histories that we still receive.
To be honest, I can usually mark time on my calendar by the bags of audio cassette tapes
that [inaudible] sends me all the time.
And that really speaks to the breadth of media that we collect.
You can see one of those audio cassette tapes over here.
All the way up through [inaudible].
We have some legacy recordings on Betamax and VHS which we no longer accept.
And most of the materials we'll see coming in today will be optical media.
DVDs, CDRs, with [inaudible] digital oral history recordings.
And those can be done on anything from a digital video camera all the way through those devices
that we carry around in our pockets, our phones, our smart phones, and a variety of manufacturers
and formats are compliant with [inaudible].
I encourage you to check that out later or stick around for the Q and A
and we'll talk a little bit about that more.
So in addition to contemporary oral history recordings, what we do is we collect plenty
of period veterans materials as well, and that includes manuscripts.
So correspondence, any kind of either a recent or an older memoir, diary, recordings,
all of these help put us in the perspective of a veteran while they were experiencing
or in the immediate aftermath of events.
It offers a nice contextual comparison with then and more of the now in an oral history.
So in terms of documentation photographs are one
of my favorite facets of the Veterans History Project.
And many of these images you'll never see in another archive
because they're entirely personal.
And they communicate a veteran's firsthand experience.
These right here from the collection Joseph Beimfohr [assumed spelling].
He is an Iraq war veteran, and you can see that this is very much behind the green curtain.
This is what a collection will look like with the polyester housing,
the preservation treatment, and the care and concern that we provide to items to make sure
that collections like Joseph Beimfohr will be around as long as we can possibly share them
and preserve them and make them accessible to researchers, family members.
And then we come on to veterans' creative works which really allow us
to perceive veterans' experiences through their minds' eyes, through their interpretations.
The watercolors.
We have charcoal drawings, illustrations, many, many, many illustrated envelopes.
And if you're familiar with Bill Mauldin's "Willie and Joe," veterans oral history --
The Veterans Oral History Project has interpretive works that are very similar,
ranging from World War II in my memory all the way up through the Vietnam war.
And most likely beyond.
Takes us a little bit of time to dig through the bottom
of 100,000 collections, but you know what?
I'm going to take a note now and I'm going to challenge myself
to find something newer than that.
So all of these collections arrive here at the Library of Congress
through a grassroots methodology.
And you can see here folks in Indiana sitting down and recoding a veteran's oral history.
Like here they're also recording -- Making it in to an audio file available.
We accept both audio and video recordings on a smart device.
And we're really looking in to a portal of kind of a gap in veterans' history.
We don't have a tremendous amount of Persian Gulf War collections,
and it's judging from [inaudible] and that nice sort
of very much grassroots do it yourself using [inaudible] methodology instructions
and media recommendations we've made sure to get his story here.
So in terms of accessibility, here's the awesome thing.
I can talk about all this content all day long and cite stories, but if it's not easy
to get to, in terms of utilization, if we can't use it, what do we do?
So we've made sure that, first of all, every veteran,
their collection is identified as their story.
You know, the story of [inaudible] the story of Jane Smith.
And all of those collections get a collection record that the veteran provides
through a biographical data form, and that will list their [inaudible] service,
the war they participated in, service location, the unit or the ship that they were assigned to,
their highest rank, and also some information about the archives
or the organization that it came from.
You know, whether it's a [inaudible] patrol squadron
or a girl scout troop or a boy scout troop.
And all of our more than 100,000 collections can be found through here,
and about 44,000 of those are digitized.
So for the ones that aren't digitized we make collections accessible
through the American Folklife Center reading room in terms of breaking down, you know,
the organization of the project, we are a special collection
within the American Folklife Center.
And researchers, you know, as a national library, I encourage everybody
to get their Library of Congress reader card, reader registration card.
And once you [inaudible] through those materials [inaudible] in about 10 working days.
>> Sounds like we may have lost --
>> Now we come on to --
>> Give it a second here to see if we can reconnect.
>> In terms of this is how we're more or less -- And you can definitely tell by this sliver
in the corner right here of the World War I collections that this says everything
about the date that [inaudible] was legislated.
So [inaudible] has been around since the year 2000.
I'm seeing a sound problem note.
Can everybody hear me okay?
>> Yeah. It sounds like you're back, but you might want
to repeat the introduction to the slide, please.
>> Oh, will do.
Okay. Great.
So thanks for the note.
So you can tell that the Veterans History Project was legislated
in the year 2000 basically based on the [inaudible] disposition of the veterans
that are included in the project.
So if you looked at a sliver right here for World War I, the project was legislated
in the year 2000 and that was when an era in our history when there were
about 3,400 living World War I veterans, and World War II veterans are passing away
at a rate of more than 1,000 a day.
So there was a congressional act, congressional foresight, that looked at -- Nothing?
Okay. Okay.
Back again.
All right.
That looked at the state of World War II veterans oral histories and said,
"If we don't create a project that can capture these memories,
we're going to lose them forever."
And while we've lost all of our World War I voices,
we were able to capture nearly 100 World War I veterans' oral histories,
and about 65,000 World War II veterans.
So World War II forms the largest part of our archives.
Our next biggest collections are Cold War Korea and Vietnam.
And we continue to receive World War I collections through donations of manuscripts,
photographs, creative works, like I mentioned before.
So there is still potential for those voices to be collected
and interpreted here at the Library of Congress.
And our collection scope, I should add -- All of these relate the stories of veterans
of the U.S. armed forces who served in World War I through recent conflicts.
And in any capacity and at any time between effectively the 20th and 21st centuries.
And are no longer serving.
So now when it comes to World War I, World War I veterans and in a discussion
of immigration it's just a fascinating opportunity to explore immigration as a concept
and as an era of the United States.
And also really to look at it as a somewhat substantial,
about 5% of the entire [inaudible] World War I archives is --
communicates immigrant veteran service.
So we have about, as I said before, 400 World War I collections.
And roughly of that amount we found about 20 veterans
who indicated either first or second generation ancestry.
Either they were immigrants or they were the children of immigrants.
And that speaks to a larger [inaudible] conundrum we have
when it comes to interpreting veteran service.
You know, just because ancestry information is entirely optional.
We have ancestry information for about half of our participants.
So effectively this could be the amount that we've collected --
It could be double what is reported on the self identified sheet
that veterans [inaudible] for participation.
But of the amount that we have, this is roughly the perspective of --
This is the lay of the land in terms of where our veterans come from.
For World War I, that is.
And what's so fascinating is that looking through this you can see
that VHP preserved the voices of World War I veterans from both the allies
and the central powers which leads you in to a fascinating interpretation of first
and second generation self identity.
So now we come to the story of Camp Upton,
and Camp Upton was just a fascinating melting pot for World War I service.
I learned about this through "Echoes of the Great War."
This is a photograph that I wasn't familiar with, and so F.M. Sefano recorded the arrival
of the new New Rochelle contingent at Camp Upton.
And by some estimates more than 30 different languages
and dialects were spoken in this camp alone.
So by war's end about half a million of American enlisted troops were recent immigrants
from about 50 different countries, and about 100,000 of them didn't speak English at all.
So we're going to talk a little bit more about avenues
in which immigrants would find themselves in the service of the United States military,
but this just shows you really the sort of scope and the diversity of men in Doughboy uniform.
So when we come to talk about the range of World War I service, I found three collections
that I think would be a fascinating portal in which we would talk about immigrant identity
within the U.S. armed forces of World War I.
So right there on the left, that's Harry Freeman,
and in the middle we have Joseph Rosenblum.
And on the right we have Albert [inaudible].
And they really do speak to the range of both naturalized immigrants, recent immigrants,
and second generation descendents of central powers parents.
So why don't we start with Harry Freeman and it's a really ideal opportunity for us to segue
to the Selective Service Act of 1917?
So in addition to native born and naturalized citizens, the Selective Service Act
of 1917 also included immigrants who intended to apply for U.S. citizenship at some point or,
you know, naturalized immigrants.
And as an extra incentive to military service, Congress amended naturalization laws in May
of 1918 that fast tracked the citizenship process
for immigrants who served in the U.S. military.
So by war's end about 120,000 Doughboys earned their citizenship
as a direct consequence of military service.
And truly set a historical precedent that we've seen to this day of accelerated naturalization
for veterans who served in -- for immigrants who served
in the armed forces to become U.S. veterans.
So yeah. That is the Harry Freeman story where, yes, he was born in Russia,
immigrated to the United States, naturalized, and, as a consequence of his naturalization,
was eligible for the Selective Service Act draft.
And what's so fascinating is that -- And I've yet to look this up.
This is another note for me to look up.
In our collections database it -- So he was sent to Camp Meade
which is now Fort Meade in Maryland.
And quite a few of our World War I collections are currently housed in Fort Meade.
So I wonder if his story came full circle.
That's one for me to look up and report back to you later.
So now when we come to the messaging and the branding for U.S. military service I share this
in -- We see different strategies, different media strategies, through the generations
that engage and elicit military recruitments.
Sometimes they talk about a recent conflict veteran or a collection
who remembers U.S. army national guard coming to his high school with a Humvee, armored truck,
that had a Playstation inside that you could play while driving.
And for some reason that was just the most incredible thing, and then novelty that --
That was used to solicit recruitment.
So back then they didn't have Playstation.
What they had was branding posters.
And so I want you for the U.S. army, this is interesting
because on the right we'll start with this.
For some reason we'll go right to left.
We'll say how this is, you know, a full English very image intense incentive
to join the U.S. army.
And that's compared to a poster on the left, and the poster on the left has, you know,
a variety of different languages in which to elicit participation
from the contextual term aliens, from immigrants, who are living in the United States.
Either -- Yes.
And to really sort of cement that connection, seen --
And back through here we go back to [inaudible] day.
Many, many, many sort of nationalistic incentives and,
like we saw in the Camp Upton image,
opportunities to turn military service in to a melting pot.
So coming to Joseph Rosenblum, Joseph Rosenblum's an interesting story
because unlike Harry Freeman who'd lived in the country long enough to become naturalized,
Joseph Rosenblum had been here since 1913, and he immigrated one year prior to the Great War.
So he left Romania and arrived in the United States in 1913, and because he intended
to naturalize, he was also eligible for the World War I draft.
And what's so fascinating is, yes, he returned to Europe
and fought on the side of his homeland.
So, like I said, another example of, you know, this cross Atlantic tug of war
with European immigrants coming to the United States and then returning to combat
and then returning back to the United States.
And I should speak a little bit more about Harry Freeman.
Harry Freeman and Joseph Rosenblum --
Harry Freeman, his collection was actually recently featured
in a World War I educator's book.
He's got a fascinating diary, and in addition it's one of our favorites because --
The reason why I use PowerPoint is because my handwriting is so atrocious,
and I always feel bad for anybody who had to read my handwritten notes.
Harry Freeman is quite the opposite.
His diary is -- His entries are clean and beautiful and also evocative
because you can feel the pit in your stomach as you count the pages from, you know,
November 10th to November 11th and his notes on the end of the war.
So I absolutely recommend perhaps I can throw some links around at the end
and share that material with you.
What's so fascinating is because, you know, World War I is an age of writing,
it's an age of manuscripts, and so looking at that image in front of you right now,
the Joseph Rosenblum image, so as opposed to the, you know, counting out time,
dates on the calendar, Joseph Rosenblum is quite the opposite.
And in addition, I encourage you to [inaudible] link around to this later.
Because he -- First of all, he writes music.
And second of all, he compares his life
and he compares his experience to, you know [inaudible] writers.
You know, cynical writers like Voltaire.
And which, you know, he's plunged in to the first world war
and it's the only thing that makes sense to him.
So throughout his diary he draws these fantastic parallels between his firsthand experience
as a soldier and then also his connection and his interpretation of his life
through works of literature or music.
So it's just an incredible collection.
So coming on to the third in our series, which is somewhat of an outlier compared to Freeman
and Rosenblum, Freeman and Rosenblum both served in -- Oh.
Both immigrated from nations who served with the allied forces
or who were part of the allied forces.
And Albert [inaudible] differs because he's both second generation, his mom was Irish
and his dad was German, and he was born in Chicago.
So he has that immigrant experience by way of his parents,
but also is a volunteer as opposed to a conscript.
So doesn't do Selective Service.
Volunteers for service at age 28.
Looking through my notes, he had been a 28 year old surveyor when he enlisted.
And during his service he -- We had this fascinating
out letter collection back and forth.
And, like I said before in terms of handwriting --
And I'm going to be the first one that I throw under the bus, but there's nothing better
than having a letter collection and also a transcript next to it.
So I've shared some of the typed letters.
And you can really see this amazing complementary back and forth.
So it's interesting.
Now he stayed on in Europe after the occupation, after Armistice Day.
And it's very interesting to sort of talk about that second generation American perspective
and his special note that he sharply observed the French whom he found incredibly grateful
to the allied effort, and coming from a German father he was not allowed
to speak or interact with Germans.
So -- And he's compelled and he makes a special note of that.
And his [inaudible] to that is just much like all of our other collections
and just a biographical and a -- In a memory, you know, throughout generations of veterans
and VHP -- It talks about the haunting, haunting effects of the battles
and skirmishes that he witnessed.
So in addition to these three stories, like I said before,
we have more than 400 World War I collections as a whole.
And what we do quarterly, this is something special
since the library's commemorating the first world war right now --
But quarterly the Veterans History Project will find a theme,
whether that's disabled American veterans or whether that --
Or Japanese American veterans or women in military service
or African American soldiers through the generations.
What we do is we look through our collections and we identify content --
rich content collections with compelling oral histories and a series of photographs
and manuscripts and correspondence, and they're well described.
And what we do is we turn that into what we call a web feature,
and the web feature is narrative driven.
This one's about the first world war, and this one's in sub components arguing over war
and over here [inaudible] the "Echoes of the Great War" exhibit.
Over there on a world overturned,
again paralleling the "Echoes of the Great War" exhibit.
And what you'll have here, and we'll absolutely circulate these links at the end,
are opportunities for you to click through and learn again from dozens
of fully described digitized World War I collections.
You know, that place them in a historical context that talks
about their individual experiences and connect them to a larger work by theme.
And in addition to World War I, we have a good many, I think nearly 100 now, experiencing wars,
each chapter with different themes.
And also all of those searches, all of those well described stories,
can be found by searching through the veteran's name as well which really gives you a nice A
to Z. And conflict experience and nationality diversity as you scroll through our collections.
And, like I said before, learn firsthand from immigrants throughout the generations as well
as natural citizens and really a broad [inaudible] of various narratives
that we have pulled together through the efforts of oral historians, volunteers,
and as I started bringing in in the comments, folks who had taken the stories
of their families and sent them to the Library of Congress where we can share them nationally
through our online collections and through the American Folklife Center reading room.
And also through installations and exhibits like "Echoes of the Great War"
where some VHP materials are featured.
And yes. As I said before, "Echoes of the Great War" is currently on display.
It will be there.
The online exhibition will be online until January 2019.
And just like you can click through VHP materials, I encourage you to look
through "Echoes of the Great War."
To be honest, one of the things that -- So I'm a trained oral historian,
and so I always like to hone in on the oral histories.
And one of the things that was a challenge for me
with this was we quite literally have no World War I veterans who we can ask
in an oral history setting now what age he joined the service.
What motivated you to join?
And by immersing yourself in "Echoes of the Great War," those questions are answered.
For me, just looking around, like I said, at the photograph of --
Or at the poster of "Attention to all aliens,"
or the Uncle Sam [inaudible] it really offers an immersive experience
for a generation that's gone.
But yeah. And with that, I know that that's kind of a deep point to leave you hanging off,
but I'm very interested in hearing from the group and answering some questions.
>> Great. Well, please do let us know if you have questions in the chat.
It looks like there was one question about submitting photographs from World War I,
and Megan [assumed spelling] has replied to look at the VHP website, loc.gov/vets,
and also -- Or email [inaudible] at loc.gov.
But I don't know if you have other thoughts about what you're looking for in terms
of collections, especially when it comes to World War I.
What you do accept.
>> So yes.
We do. So in terms of World War I donations, like I said before, there's --
There is potential for oral history in the form of a legacy recording.
Like if, by chance, your family or a student recorded a story of a World War I veteran
in your life, we would -- And it's in a compliant format or --
Just reach out to us and describe the material.
In addition to those legacy recordings, we're always looking for opportunities
to collect manuscripts and we consider a complete collection as one that has
at least 20 pages of military orders or memoir or journal pages
or at least 10 original photographs or additive correspondence or creative works.
But just in terms of [inaudible] institution and we live on our nuances.
So if you have any World War I materials that you'd like to share with us or talk to us about
or show examples of, we look forward to working with you and seeing what we can do to make sure
that your family history and the experience of your World War I ancestor is preserved here.
So, as I said before, it's a 30/20 [inaudible] or catchphrase.
>> Okay. Well, thank you.
So then another question.
Do you have -- Is there something that you've found truly surprising
about someone's service during World War I or something
that just was a surprise to you in these archives?
>> So I feel like every day I'm finding a new story, and I know that that's sort of a maxim
that gets used up a lot, you know.
What's your favorite story?
You know, the next one.
But there is some truth to that.
In terms of World War I stories, I would honestly say that the Freeman diary is just
so powerful to me because everybody here is, you know --
It's so branded, and I'm not sure if this is the social studies curriculum, but the armistice is
such an epoch, and at least it was in my learning in American learning.
And here Harry Freeman tells a story of being ordered
in to an engagement hours before the armistice.
And having at the end of the battle the smoke clear and realizing
that he was completely -- He was in a pocket.
He was completely encircled.
And that, you know, had the bell not chimed or had the bell not tolled at 11/11/11,
he wouldn't have survived the war.
And it's just this mix of absurdity and experience that just draws me right in to it.
>> That's great.
You know, we'll have to -- I'm intrigued now.
I haven't read through the Freeman diary.
So I want to go do that now.
There are really such wonderful ones.
I'm especially taken with Irving Greenwald who's not an immigrant,
but he's a child of immigrants, but there are so many wonderful stories on your website.
There's questions coming through about VHP's collecting policies
which I think Megan is addressing.
But a question about Camp Upton.
Is there anything else on VHP's website about Camp Upton?
I think the question was specifically, "Is there a searchable --
Is something searchable about Camp Upton?"
Which I think is not the case, but are there other veteran stories
from Camp Upton that you know of, by chance?
>> Offhand?
>> Oh. And Megan says it is [inaudible] database is searchable by service location.
So that's good.
And she just sent the link.
So that's fabulous.
>> Thanks, Megan.
Yeah. So and there's a variety of different service locations to veterans,
and that includes training and deployment.
So from one pathway to another, all of those that the veteran indicated
on their biographical information when we accepted their collection or it was attributed
in the service history notes, we would be able to find that information on the backend as well
as you'd be able to find it on the frontend through that link.
>> Thanks.
And then a few were content questions.
Is World War I the war they said would end all wars?
That's a -- Is that something you feel like you can answer on?
>> I feel like that's something that, you know, we could write a monograph on that.
Or we could all, you know, settle around in a circle and have a moderated panel.
It's -- It seems without precedent, but also -- So without precedent, and I would say --
And this is me as a public historian, not a [inaudible] historian.
To our veteran stories, we see consistent effects on the veterans of war.
And the consequence of war in general as told through their experience,
as evidenced through their correspondence, manuscripts, and diaries,
and the war to end all wars, seeing that the effects of the war persist through veterans
of World War II, Korea, Cold War, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghan and Iraq wars,
and in to war experiences, I would say that in that capacity it's not unique.
>> Yeah. Thank you.
And I think it's actually -- This question is a nice segue to our -- to closing.
And then a reminder that this is part of a series and maybe you can flip the slide
to the next because I would encourage you, Megan Parker who asked that question,
to come back to the series next month when we will have [inaudible] who's a historian
in a manuscripts division and is one of the curators of the exhibition talking
about Woodrow Wilson's decision to go to war.
And he will talk more about the -- Obviously the reasons that Wilson
through the United States should be involved, and some of the language around the war,
that phrase being, "To end all wars" came later, but this idea about the extent
to which the war was to make the world safe for democracy
and what Wilson's war aims were will be the next session which is October 24, 2017 at 2PM.
After that we'll have -- Well, we'll have one a month
so the next will be November 28th at 2 o'clock.
We'll look at prints of Liberty bond drive prints called [inaudible] liberty Paris
which is a really evocative image of New York City destroyed by the enemy made
by Joseph Pennell who's a famous print maker.
And we'll have a specialist, Catherine [assumed spelling] [inaudible]
from our prints and photographs division.
And the last session will be December 12th, again at 2 o'clock looking
at Charles Hamilton Houston and how his wartime experience as a young officer serving
in a segregated military influenced his later work in civil rights,
including as chief attorney for the NAACP and a mentor to Thurgood Marshall.
So I hope that you will return.
If you have other questions, you can always, you know, add them here.
We'll answer a few more at the end or you can email Owen
and his team at [inaudible] at llc.gov.
We thank you for participating in this session
and would love your feedback at the link that you see here.
Oh. Was hoping to tell the story of an immigrant veteran who resided in Missouri,
able to search VHP site by location.
Again. And Owen?
>> Yes. So we do have a local history plug in, and if you go to our website
and our collections database you can browse by state history.
And from there find him by last name or her.
>> Great. Thank you.
And if anyone out there is a teacher, there's really great material
to support students doing oral histories on the VHP website as well.
So I hope you'll consider that.
And do come back for the next session.
You'll find all of the events and resources related to World War I
and on our online exhibition which is on our online exhibition page loc.gov/exhibits.
If I can --
And thanks very much.
>> Thank you.
Likewise, thanks everybody.

Dog with the longest tongue - Guinness World Records - Duration: 1:54.My name is Karla Richert and this is our dog mochi Richert she holds the Guinness
World Records title for the longest dog tongue. Mochi is a rescued St. Bernard
and we've had her for about six and a half years and her tongue measures from
snout to tip seven point three inches
Mochi came to us through a rescue agency out of Colorado in the United States and
the rescue agency is called Big Dogs Huge Paws and they only rescue dogs who
weigh over 100 pounds so all of their rescues are giant breed dogs such as
Mochi and she's brought a lot of joy to our life because she is so calm and
she's also a comic relief to us because she's very funny
she loves peanut butter so much that today we use peanut butter to help
encourage her to stick her tongue out so she could show you the impressive length
and how far she can lick up on her face. When we opened that Guinness World
Records book and see Mochi's picture in there we're gonna feel very proud and
it's going to make all of the water and slobber that we've cleaned up over the
last six and a half years well worth it
you

Anheuser-Busch May Consider Dropping NFL.. Here's How You Can Vote | Top Stories Today - Duration: 3:16.One of the National Football League's largest sponsors has made a move that has many believing
it could be dropping the NFL — and it's seeking America's input on the decision.
According to the Indianapolis Star, Anheuser-Busch has set up an option on its consumer hotline
specifically for fans to register their feelings on the recent national anthem protests in
the NFL.
The beverage giant has a $1.5 billion contract with the NFL through the 2022 season, and
its flagship Bud Light product is the league's official beer.
However, according to KTVI-TV in St. Louis, the beverage giant saw its customer hotline
crash after a wave of calls criticizing the anthem protests and Anheuser-Busch's sponsorship
of the league.
So, if you call (800) DIAL BUD — or (800) 342-5283, if you're not terribly good at
working these things out on your own — the first option on the menu will be one for registering
how you feel about the anthem protests.
"If you are calling with questions or comments about Anheuser-Busch's sponsorship of the
NFL, press one," the recorded message says.
Pressing one will get you this: "At Anheuser-Busch, we have a long heritage of supporting the
nation's armed forces, veterans and military dependents.
The national anthem is a point of pride for our company and for the 1,100 veterans that
we employ.
Please feel free to share your feedback after the tone."
After last week's round of protests in the NFL, the company tried to finesse its stance.
"These are complex issues that require in-depth discussions and nuanced debate," Matt Kohan,
the Anheuser-Busch senior director of marketing communications, said in a statement, according
to CBS.
"What I can say is that at Anheuser-Busch we have a long heritage of supporting the
institutions and values that have made America so strong.
That includes our armed forces and the national anthem as well as diversity, equality and
freedom of speech.
We proudly employ over 1,100 military veterans and we work every day to create an inclusive
environment for all of our employees.
Because only together can we achieve our dream of bringing people together for a better world."
The very fact that Anheuser-Busch feels the need to put the option to complain about the
protests up front — and let's face facts, there probably isn't going to be a deluge
of people applauding the protests, given recent poll numbers and ratings data — indicates
that the company is seriously rethinking its relationship with the NFL.
If one of the league's largest sponsorship partners is even considering distancing itself
from football, you can bet they're not the only one.
If the boycotts get bad enough, companies may start to boycott the league.
Now is the time to make your voice heard, starting with Anheuser-Busch.
And, now that you know the number, you know what to do.
What are your thoughts on the NFL anthem protests?
Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter if you plan to call Anheuser-Busch and let
them know exactly how you feel.

Here's How To Heal Your Dry, Chapped Lips Naturally - 7 Chapped Lips Home Remedies - Duration: 3:06.Chapped lips are bothersome both during the winter and the summer.
Our lips hurt, sting, and don't look good at all, but there are remedies.
Chapped lips can be caused by several different things, depending on each individual person:
allergic reactions, smoke, prolonged sun exposure, licking your lips, vitamin deficiency, cold
weather, too much wind, dry weather, certain medications and other issues.
In this video we'll show you some cheap and easy solutions for this problem.
The best part is that they are made with all natural ingredients.
1.
Aloe Vera Aloe vera is a powerful plant that can be
used to hydrate your skin.
Not only do its healing properties hydrate and restore chapped lips, but they also lessen
the pain.
All you have to do is remove the aloe vera gel from its leaf and apply it directly onto
your lips.
You can mix the gel in a blender to make it easier to apply.
Don't lick your lips afterwards.
Aloe vera doesn't taste very good.
2.
Coconut oil The controversial coconut oil can be used
in many different ways, and your whole body can benefit from it.
Due to its hydrating properties, you can apply a light layer on your lips several times throughout
the day, and a thicker layer before going to bed.
And, as an added benefit, it smells and tastes delicious.
3.
Castor Oil Castor oil is very moisturizing, and can help
heal cracks on your lips.
It can be used several times throughout the day, just like coconut oil.
Apply it at night before going to bed, and wash your lips in the morning.
You'll soon notice a huge difference.
4.
Vegetable Oil Before Bathing Before you wash your face or take a bath, apply some vegetable
oil onto your lips to create a barrier, since your face soap could be drying out your lips
and stripping them of their natural oils.
5.
Honey and Vegetable Oil Use this mixture before going to bed.
Mix a small amount of honey with some drops of the vegetable oil of your preference, and
rub it on your lips before going to bed.
In the morning you will wake up with hydrated, smooth lips.
Furthermore, honey has antibacterial properties, so it will protect the cracks on your lips
from an infection.
6.
Rose Petals Rose petals are well known for the benefits
they bring to our skin.
They can also heal our cracked, dry lips.
All you have to do is wash a handful of petals and let them soak in milk or glycerin for
a few hours.
Then knead them together to form a thick paste and apply it on your lips every night before
going to sleep.
It will help repair your lips and improve their natural shine.
7.
Beeswax If your lips are already smooth and pretty,
you should use beeswax.
It will protect your lips and help them stay hydrated.

Here's What You Don't Know About Flo From Progressive - Duration: 3:47.Over the past decade, perky Progressive Insurance saleswoman Flo has become a television mainstay,
appearing in dozens of commercials.
But while everyone knows Flo, chances are you've never even heard of Stephanie Courtney,
the woman who plays the character.
Let's change that with a look at some things you didn't know about the woman behind Flo.
Mommy dearest
In a 2016 interview with Lohud, Courtney gave the inside scoop on how she landed the once-in-a-lifetime
role of Flo.
Turns out she had a secret weapon when she went to the audition: her mom, Jane Courtney.
"What they were looking for was basically a friendly neighborhood waitress; she is super
friendly and nice, almost to the point of madness, and I was like, 'I can do that.'
I went straight to my mom and I credit her with Flo's personality.
I said, 'Yes, I can become Jane Courtney!'"
Improv
In her original audition, Courtney had just one line, but during her second audition,
the director invited her to play with the role.
As a member of the famous Groundlings improv comedy group, that was all the opening Courtney
needed.
Progressive Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Carney told Advertising Age that "Flo was an accident."
The character was just supposed to be a friendly cashier in the superstore, but Courtney brought
the character to life when she ad-libbed the line, "wow, I say it louder."
"Wow."
"Wow!
I know!
I say it louder.
Have a great day!"
Company execs realized the concept gave them the chance to "surround Flo with characters
to play off and offered other opportunities to expand Flo's story."
Since that fateful audition, Courtney has continued to be an integral voice in how the
character of Progressive Flo has… progressed.
And all thanks to one little "wow."
It just shows what can happen if you say the right word.
"Slovakia.
Triceratops.
Tapioca.
Racquetball.
Stuccatto!"
"Me llamo Jaime!"
"Pumpernickel!
Pudding!"
She helps write the commercials
In 2009, Courtney told Cleveland.com about the backstory she envisioned for Flo, saying,
"When I picture Flo in life she drives her little Mini Cooper around town and it's basically
like when Bob Hoskins drove into Toontown in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Basically all the buildings and the birds are singing in her mind."
Courtney explained to Lohud that over the years, she's worked with the writers to shape
the arc of her character.
"The writers are very open to what I think; there may be some improv here now and then,
that is encouraged, by the way.
All of us were working so hard to find out who this person was and what the boundaries
were.
With Flo, she was sort of originally this perfect little Number One employee, but the
power has gotten to her."
Uh oh, sounds like her little sidekick dude, Jamie, might want to sleep with one eye open.
"Jamie, don't forget to clean the fridge when you're done."
"She seems nice."
"She seems nice…
She's actually pretty nice."
She lived in France
When Courtney was just a child, her family spent a year in France.
Though she later forgot how to speak the language, the experience came in handy during her college
years when she spent a semester abroad with a host family in Avignon.
Still, she told The Nerdist's JV Club podcast that the culture shock of returning to France
was difficult.
"I ate, like, olympic amounts of bread and cheese, and then I outgrew all of my clothes
and I remember, I was so sad, like, I really looked like Gerard Depardieu.
I couldn't afford a haircut, like, no makeup, and I'd like mope around France because I
felt so bad about myself."
She's a playwright
Before landing the life-changing role of Flo, Courtney penned a play called Those Courtney
Girls.
Based on exaggerated versions of herself and her sister, Jennifer, and their lives as broke
actors, Those Courtney Girls ran at the 2000 Aspen Comedy Festival.
Though Courtney says it didn't make a "big splash," it did help her make more contacts
in the comedy business — networking that has clearly paid off.
Way to go, Flo.

CBS Fires Exec After Questionable Social Media Post - Duration: 8:04.CBS HAS DECIDED TO PART WAYS WITH ITS SENIOR COUNSEL.
BACK THIS IS EXECUTIVE COUNCIL WHO FORMERLY WORKED AT CBS
AND WAS PROMPTLY FIRED AFTER SHE SHARED HER OPINION IN
REGARD TO THE SHOOTING THAT TOOK PLACE IN LAS VEGAS.
HAYLEY GEFTMAN-GOLD IS HER NAME AND SHE HAD BEEN WITH CBS
FOR A
LITTLE UNDER A YEAR AND APPARENTLY, SHE FELT THE NEED TO
SHARE HER OPINIONS ABOUT THE VICTIMS OF THE MASS SHOOTING AND
ESSENTIALLY SAID THAT SHE DID NOT REALLY CARE FOR THEM.
LET ME GIVE YOU HER EXACT STATEMENT:
SO THE FIRST PART OF HER STATEMENT IS SOMETHING THAT WE
HAVE HEARD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SAY.
WE'VE EVEN MADE THAT ARGUMENT USING DIFFERENT WORDS BUT THE
SECOND PART OF HER STATEMENT IS WHAT GOT HER IN TROUBLE, SHOWING
THAT SHE HAS NO SYMPATHY BECAUSE THESE ARE COUNTRY MUSIC GOERS
WHO PROBABLY SUPPORT NO GUN LEGISLATION.
IT IS NOT GOOD.
THEY FIRED HER IMMEDIATELY AND HERE ARE SOME SCREENSHOTS
OF WHAT HER POSTS LOOK LIKE AND HERE'S A STATEMENT FROM CBS.
A SPOKESPERSON SAID
THE FOLLOWING:
I HAVE A MIXED REACTION TO THIS STORY AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY.
DID SHE SAY THE RIGHT THING?
OF COURSE NOT AND YOU DON'T KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, YOU
KNOW THE POLITICS OF THOSE PEOPLE AND SECOND, IT
DOESN'T MATTER WITH HER POLITICS ARE.
YOU SHOULD HAS SYMPATHY FOR ANYONE WHO IS A VICTIM.
THAT IS NOT DEBATABLE.
THAT IS NOT AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION AND I UNDERSTAND
THAT CBS HAD TO DO WHAT THEY DID BECAUSE HER COMMENTS ARE
TOO OVER-THE-TOP AND I WILL APPLY THE SAME STANDARD FOR
RIGHT-WINGERS AS THIS PERSON WHO IS CLEARLY ON THE LEFT
WHICH IS HEY, FACEBOOK IS PUBLIC.
AS A PERSON WHO HAS A JOB THAT IS SOMEWHAT PUBLIC FACING, SHE
IS NOT A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT YOU
SHOULD THINK THAT THROUGH AND KNOW THAT YOUR COMPANY IS
GOING HAVE TO DO SOMETHING IF YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THE ONLY REASON I HAVE ANY MIXED FEELINGS IS THAT
REPUBLICANS DO THIS ALL THE TIME THEY DO IS SYSTEMATICALLY
AND THEIR ACTIONS ARE SO MUCH WORSE THAN HER WORDS SOME
REPUBLICANS MAKE SURE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY GUN CONTROL.
EARLIER IN THE YEAR THEY TOOK AWAY LEGISLATION THAT WOULD
PREVENT PEOPLE WHO ARE MENTALLY ILL FROM GETTING GUNS.
THESE PEOPLE ARE SO MENTALLY ILL, THE GOVERNMENT HAS
ADJUDICATED THEM, THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS EVERYBODY
AGREES THAT THEY CANNOT GET A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK, THEY
CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH THEIR OWN MONEY BUT THE REPUBLICAN
SAID, LET'S GIVE THEM GUNS.
IT IS OKAY TO GIVE THEM GUNS.
THEY CAN'T HANDLE MONEY BUT THEY CAN HANDLE GUNS.
THEY THINK PEOPLE ON THE TERRORIST WATCHLIST SHOULD
BE UP TO WATCH GUNS BY GUNS.
THEY GET PAID BY THE NRA, THAT IS WHY.
THEIR ACTIONS IN ALLOWING THIS COUNTRY TO BE A WASH WITH
WEAPONRY, THE GUY IN VEGAS HAD THIS THING, FOR $99 YOU CAN BUY
IT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO FIRE YOUR WEAPON AUTOMATICALLY WITH
HUNDREDS OF BULLETS AT A TIME.
THAT IS LEGAL.
WHY?
BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO ARE ATROCIOUS CORPORATE SHILLS FOR THE
NRA, INCLUDING SOME DEMOCRATS, ALLOW THAT AND THEN WE DIE.
I FIND THEIR ACTIONS TO BE FAR MORE DEPLORABLE THAN WHAT
SHE SAID.
I UNDERSTAND WHY CBS DID WHAT THEY DID, BUT THERE TO BEND
OVER BACKWARDS FOR PUBLIC AND START THE LIBERAL EVER SAYS
ANYTHING WRONG, AND INSTANTLY.
NO ONE EVER DEFENDS HER AND WE'RE DONE WITH IT.
HER CAREER IS DONE AND SHE HAS NO ALLIES WHATSOEVER.
REPUBLICANS DO OUTRAGEOUS THINGS, SAY OUTRAGEOUS
THINGS, THEY GET ELECTED PRESIDENT.
EVERYBODY, THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS THEIR BACK AND
THEY NEVER BACK DOWN.
X I AGREE WITH YOU 100% WHEN IT COMES TO THE QUESTIONABLE
POLICIES THAT THOSE ON THE RIGHT CONTINUOUSLY SUPPORT AND HOW ANY
TYPE OF AGGRESSIVE CRITICISM OF THOSE WHO SUPPORT ABILITIES TO
BUY GUNS, THOSE PEOPLE DECIDED DESERVE TO BE CHRIS EYES,
THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT IT BUT AT THE SAME TIME, AND I
THINK WE AGREE ON THIS AS WELL, YOU ARE PART OF THE LEFT.
I AM GUESSING SHE IDENTIFIES AS A DEMOCRAT CONSIDERING HOW
SHE REFERRED TO REPUBLICANS AND AS A DEMOCRAT, YOU ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO SUPPORTS AND REALLY VALUES
TOLERANCE AND SO THESE ARE VICTIMS.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WERE GUNNED DOWN.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE POLITICAL IDENTITY IS DONE JUST
BECAUSE THEY ARE AT A COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL DOESN'T MEAN
THEY ARE HUNDRED PERCENT REPUBLICANS.
JUST BECAUSE THEY REPUBLICANS DOESN'T MEAN THEY SUPPORT
ANY TYPE OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO
OBTAIN GUNS SO SHE JUST COMPLETELY GENERALIZED
ABOUT THIS PEOPLE AND BESIDES WHICH, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
EVEN IF THEY HOLD THOSE POLITICAL BELIEFS, YOU DON'T
ACT AS IF SHOOTING AND KILLING THEM ISN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL.
WHO CARES, I HAVE NO SYMPATHY.
IT'S JUST NOT THE RIGHT THING TO SAY.
GOES BEYOND BEING OFFENSIVE.
GOES IT SHOWS A CERTAIN LEVEL OF HEARTLESSNESS THAT IS, I
WOULDN'T WANT TO WORK WITH HER.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO SITTING BESIDE HER WHILE SHE MAKES
THOSE KIND OF STATEMENTS AND I WOULDN'T OFFEND HER.
I DON'T KNOW.
WHENEVER LIBERAL SAYS, IT WAS ONE WRONG SENTENCE IN THE WORLD
COMES DOWN ON THEM, INCLUDING US.
I SAID IT, ANA SET IT, RIGHTFULLY SO.
ONE WRONG SENTENCE AND YOU ARE ELIMINATED FOREVER.
CURT SCHILLING CAN SAY ANYTHING HE WANTS, REPUBLICANS WILL
SUPPORT HIM FOREVER.
LUNATIC.
I KNOW WHY PICKED HIM OUT.
SHERIFF DAVID CLARK THAT I CAN NAME YOUR THOUSAND EXAMPLES.
DONALD TRUMP.
THEY CAN GRAB WOMEN, DO ANYTHING, TAKE ACTIONS AND
THERE IS NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES SO WHAT I AM TIRED OF HIS
UNEVEN PLAYING FIELD.
HAVE OF HER STATEMENT IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT IF
THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING WHEN CHILDREN WERE MURDERED, I
HAVE NO HOPE THAT REPUBLICANS WILL EVER DO THE RIGHT THING.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, THAT IS NOT WHAT I'M CRITICIZING
HER FOR.
AN UNEVEN PLAYING FIELD, WHERE IT THE LEFT GOES OUTSIDE OF
THE LINES FOR ONE SENTENCE, ELIMINATED FOREVER.
THE RIGHT WING, HAVE NO LINES, HAVE NO BARREL AND YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT WINDS UP DOING?
IT WINDS UP DRAGGING THE ENTIRE POLITICAL SPECTRUM IN
WASHINGTON, NOT THE COUNTRY BUT IN WASHINGTON TO THE RIGHT.
YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
I'M SICK OF THE DOUBLE STANDARD.
NEXT TIME ANY REPUBLICAN SAYS ANY WRONG SENTENCE, I HOPE
THAT THE RIGHT-WINGERS WHO ARE OUTRAGED BY THE STORY WILL
JOIN US IN SAYING THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE FIRED.
IMMEDIATELY FIRED, RIGHT?
WAIT, I THOUGHT THEY WERE FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
I THOUGHT THE ONES WHO ARE BEING PAID $20,000 A SPEECH, I
THOUGHT THEY HAD EVERY RIGHT TO ITÖ SHE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
OH, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HER FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
THAT IS INTERESTING.
WE HAVE PRINCIPLES THAT ARE CONSISTENT.
YOU SHOULD NOT SAY THAT.
OF COURSE CBS HAS A RIGHT TO TERMINATE YOU IF YOU CROSS
A LINE LIKE THAT.
RIGHT-WINGERS ON THE OTHER HAND HAVE NO PRINCIPLES, HAVE NO
CONSISTENCY AND THEY WILL TURN AROUND TOMORROW AND SAY
THINGS WAY WORSE THAN THIS AND IF YOU EVEN CRITICIZE THEM,
YOU USED YOUR SPEECH TO CRITICIZE THEM, THEY WILL
TURN INTO SPECIAL LITTLE SNOWFLAKES IT WILL SAY, OH
MY GOD, I AM BEING ATTACKED, WHERE'S MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
LET'S JUST KEEP IT REAL.
THAT IS THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN AMERICA.

Watch: Here's How Late Night TV Hosts Responded To Las Vegas Shooting - Duration: 5:00.Watch: Here's How Late Night TV Hosts Responded To Las Vegas Shooting
After the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday, which took the lives of 59 people, late-night talk show hosts decided to start their Monday night shows on more of a somber note.
These hosts, who normally infuse their entire broadcasts with humor, opened with solemn thoughts on the shooting, the state of the country and what needs to happen next.
On CBS' "Late Show With Stephen Colbert," Stephen Colbert began by speaking directly to President Donald Trump about the recent event and the issues it once again brings to light.
"President Trump, you said you wanted to be a transformative president who doesn't care about the way things have always been done in Washington D.C.
This is your chance to prove it," Colbert said. "I mean this sincerely, you do not owe the Republicans anything. You know the Republicans tried to stop you from being president.
Well, screw em. You want to make America great again? Do something the last two presidents haven't been able to do. Pass any kind of common sense gun control legislation that the vast majority of Americans want."
Seth Meyers of "Late Night With Seth Meyers," on the other hand, used his stage as an opportunity to address congress about gun violence.
"We've talked about gun violence on this show before, and I'm not sure what else I can say," Meyers said.
"I also know nothing I say will make any difference at all. But to Congress I would just like to say, are there no steps we can take as a nation to prevent gun violence?
Or is this just how it is and how it's going to continue to be? Because when you say — which you always say — now is not the time to talk about it, what you really mean is there is never a time to talk about it.
And it would be so much more honest if you would just admit that your plan is to never talk about it and never take any action."
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue about the shooting was extra emotional because Las Vegas is his hometown, making this experience feel even more personal for him.
"Here we are again in the aftermath of another terrible, inexplicable, shocking and painful tragedy. This time in Las Vegas, which happens to be my hometown," Kimmel said.
"We have children without parents and fathers without sons, mothers without daughters. It's the kind of thing that makes you want to throw up or give up."
He continued: "When someone with a beard attacks us, we tap phones, we invoke travel bans, we build walls.
We take every possible precaution to make sure it doesn't happen again, but when an American buys a gun and kills other Americans then there's nothing we can do about that [because] the second amendment, I guess. Our forefathers wanted us to have AK-47s is the argument, I assume."
While Kimmel pondered why the United States government feels like there's nothing it can do about these shootings, Conan O'Brien, host of "Conan," brings back up the same thought he had after the Orlando shooting in 2016.
"Now, I am not the most political of our comics. I never have been. But I will repeat what I said not long ago after Orlando," Conan started his show. "I don't think it should be so easy for one demented person to kill so many people so quickly.
The sounds of those automatic weapons last night are grotesquely out of place in a civilized society. It makes no sense to me as a reasonable human being and a father... Something needs to change. It really does.
Trevor Noah began "The Daily Show" by giving his perspective and thoughts on the shooting, as someone who's from South Africa and has only been living in New York for a short while.
"You know what blew my mind this morning? When I realize I've lived in the U.S., in New York, for two years now, and in that time there have been 20 mass shootings," he said.
James Corden of "The Late Late Show with James Corden" also explained his point-of-view on the tragic event as someone from another country.
"I come from a place where we don't have shootings at this frequency so it's hard for me to fathom," he said. "But it should be hard for everyone to fathom.
Gun violence should not be a staple of American life. Some say it's too early to talk about gun control. For those victims last night, it's far too late."
"The Tonight Show" lead Jimmy Fallon decided to take a bit of a different approach from the other late-night hosts.
He gave a brief opening statement before letting a musical performance of Dido's "No Freefom" by Miley Cyrus and Adam Sandler do the talking.
"This morning, we woke up to the news of another senseless shooting, this time in Las Vegas," Fallon said.
"In the face of tragedies and acts of terror, we need to remember that good still exists in this world. We're here to entertain you tonight, and that's what we're going to do."
After the performance, Cyrus took to Instagram to share her thoughts on why this song was so meaningful to perform.
"No Love without Freedom ... No Freedom without LOVE," she wrote. "Thank you so much to Adam Sandler for joining me tonight in remembering all those lost, and singing lyrics that I believe are so important at this time.... #LandOfTheFree #StopTheViolence #GivePeaceAChance."
Aside from "No Freedom," Cyrus also sang one of her own songs, a song she hasn't sung in years, but felt it was an important song to sing at a time like this: "The Climb."
"We started this week off with a song I haven't performed in years ... #TheClimb," she wrote on another Instagram post. "These words mean more now to me than ever ... 'Keep The Faith' ..... Sending love to ALL!"

You MUST LEARN to use WMCs not WMDs.
In this time of human carnage, political chaos and
global unrest it is more important than ever
that we channel our primordial survival instincts and use them to IGNITE our creativity and inspire the world
to a more perfect union and remember
power of LOVE VS love for POWER
FEAR of change VS THIRST for change
Global ambitions VS local Traditions.
