Actually common colds are caused by one of several viruses. They reason
that they are more common in cold weather is because people spend more
time in close indoor quarters during cold weather and thus virus transmittal
is more common.

Have you been there? I just got back from Sugar Bowl. It was

Interesting, but skiing used to be an all-white sport. No longer.
There are all sorts of people up there now, all shapes and colors and

Of the 87 people who entered the Wasatch Mountains, 48 survived.

The article focuses on the Lebensborn program but also mentions

\"Nazi policy reinforced this demand for Germany to produce more babies.
New laws banned women from terminating pregnancies if the resulting child
would be “of good blood.” The government incentivized young people to get
married and start families by offering “marriage loans” to newlyweds — a
quarter of the debt was forgiven with each child they had, so if they had
four children, the debt was erased. A new medal, the “Mother Cross,” was
awarded to women who produced many children: bronze for four children,
silver for six, and gold for eight. With each new arrival, a German family
received “Kindergeld,” or “child money,” as a monthly stipend from the
government, a practice so popular that it continues in Germany today.\"

Of course the US distributes Kindergeld to baby mommas.
