An historic paper mill in Ohio that was facing closure at the end of the year is instead facing a bright future producing medical supplies. Earlier this month, Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, announced that U.S. Medical Glove Co. would be purchasing the Pixelle Paper Mill in Chillicothe. “For over 200 years, the Pixelle Paper Mill has been a cornerstone of the community, employing generations of Ohioans,” said Moreno. “U.S. Medical Glove Co.’s investment in Chillicothe will revitalize Ohio manufacturing and bring high-paying wages to families in Ross County that allow them to live with dignity. I am honored to fight for some of the hardest working people I have met!” Live from Chillicothe, OH pic.twitter.com/v4FtVDbbtT— Philip Letsou (@philipletsou) October 10, 2025 As Signal reported, the U.S. Medical Glove Co. “was formed in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic to be a domestic supplier of gloves and other personal protective equipment. It recently opened a plant in Cincinnati and is a federal contractor, having provided PPE to the U.S. military and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.” Ohio’s fellow Republican senator, Jon Husted, praised Moreno’s role. “Senator Bernie Moreno deserves credit for leading the tough and thoughtful negotiations that made this day possible,” he said on X, also posting how he’s “hopeful the region will see a real economic boost.” Today’s announcement is very promising news. It’s rare to secure a new user for a facility as quickly as has happened in this case. It was truly a team effort, and Senator Bernie Moreno deserves credit for leading the tough and thoughtful negotiations that made this day possible.…— Senator Jon Husted (@SenJonHusted) October 10, 2025 National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons also released a statement on how “Chillicothe Again Proves It Is A Powerhouse of Prosperity.” That statement mentioned Moreno by name, dedicating an entire paragraph to the senator’s efforts. “To Sen. Moreno—who wrote letters, held rallies and shaped negotiations to find a new owner to keep the mill open—you in particular have reminded us that our nation’s prosperity does not guarantee itself. Leaders do,” Timmons wrote to conclude his statement. “And you have led, like all of the manufacturing champions in our nation have led, to make sure that manufacturing in this country, in Chillicothe and so many communities like it, beats on as a powerhouse of prosperity.” The praise from Husted and Timmons is not for nothing. A press release from Moreno’s office laid out the work he’s done for months to save the mill, highlighting how “Senator Moreno Has Fought for Chillicothe Workers Since Day One”: When HIG Capital announced the closure of the paper mill, Senator Moreno issued a blistering statement calling out the private equity company. Two days after the announcement of the planned closure of the mill, Senator Moreno sent a letter to HIG and called for the closure to be delayed. On Friday, April 18th, Senator Moreno held a press conference and convened state and local leaders in Chillicothe. On the same day, HIG informed Senator Moreno they would delay the closing of the paper mill until the end of the year to give federal, state, and local leaders time to find a potential buyer for the paper mill. Senator Moreno fought to ensure the community-maintained control over the future of the property. Senator Moreno worked daily with federal, state, and local leaders, including Governor DeWine, Senator Husted, and Congressman Taylor, to identify potential buyers, facilitating numerous tours. Senator Moreno met with local union leaders to discuss new WARN notice and next steps to ensure that impacted workers and families have the resources they need. Former Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is not as publicly excited about the news. He has yet to post on the fate of the mill. That silence is curious given that many of Brown’s posts since he announced in August that he was running once more, have had a focus on fighting for workers. The Daily Signal reached out to Brown’s campaign for comment but did not hear back. Brown lost to Moreno last November and is running against Husted, who was appointed in January by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine to fill now Vice President JD Vance’s seat. That appointment triggered a special election for 2026. The mill had employed hundreds of people and operated for nearly 200 years. Reporting from The Ohio Newsroom in August also highlighted concerns for Ohio’s logging industry. Signal similarly discussed concerns about the mill’s closure, noting how the closure “deal[t] an economic and psychological blow to Chillicothe.” The closure has been portrayed as a symbol of the economic struggles of manufacturing cities in the Midwest, including in a short documentary by a left-leaning political advocacy group. The mill employed 750 people when its closure was first announced in April, making it one of the area’s largest employers. The closure also has negatively affected Ohio’s timber industry, which had long supplied the plant. But again, there’s still signs of hope in Ohio on economic opportunity. In addition to the mill in Chillicothe, Moreno has celebrated investments in Ohio from Whirlpool. Progress has also been made with the delayed Intel project, with the Trump administration signing a deal in August and Moreno receiving assurances from the company of commitment in Ohio. Massive news for Ohio! Politicians allowed states like Ohio to be hollowed out for decades, shipping jobs overseas for cheap labor. Thanks to President Trump, manufacturing is coming back to America and workers are winning.The “experts” in DC are proven wrong again and again. pic.twitter.com/NOppoIkCvQ— Bernie Moreno (@berniemoreno) October 15, 2025 The post Moreno Out Front, Brown Absent on Chillicothe Mill appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Your dog’s eyes face constant threats from UV rays, flying debris, and harsh weather conditions during outdoor adventures. Eye injuries in dogs have increased by 23% over the past five years, according to veterinary ophthalmology data. We at DogingtonPost believe dog safety goggles represent one of the most overlooked protective gear investments pet owners can make. The right eyewear prevents costly injuries and preserves your pet’s vision for years to come. What Eye Dangers Do Dogs Really Face Dogs suffer preventable eye injuries at alarming rates, with eyelid lacerations being a significant concern in veterinary ophthalmology records. Foreign objects like grass seeds, sand particles, and thorns cause immediate damage, while UV radiation creates cumulative harm that leads to cataracts and painful pannus disease. The American Veterinary Medical Association reports that dogs experience sun-related eye damage similar to humans, yet most pet owners ignore this threat completely. Environmental Threats Your Dog Encounters Daily Wind-blown debris poses the greatest immediate risk during outdoor activities. Sand, dust, and plant matter can scratch the cornea in seconds, which causes infections that require weeks of expensive treatment. Water sports expose dogs to chlorinated pool chemicals and saltwater irritation, while high-altitude adventures intensify UV exposure by about 10-12% for every 3,300 feet of elevation gain (making mountain hikes particularly dangerous for unprotected eyes). Breeds That Need Extra Eye Protection Flat-faced breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs face higher injury rates due to prominent eyes that protrude beyond their skull structure. German Shepherds and Border Collies develop pannus disease at elevated rates compared to other breeds, which makes UV protection essential for these active dogs. Siberian Huskies and other Arctic breeds suffer from snow blindness without proper eye coverage during winter activities (especially on bright, reflective snow surfaces). The Real Cost of Eye Injuries Corneal ulcer treatment averages $800 to $1,500 per incident, while cataract surgery can exceed $3,000 per eye. The ASPCA emphasizes that most canine eye injuries occur during routine outdoor activities that owners consider safe. Prevention through protective eyewear costs under $50 and eliminates most preventable eye trauma, which makes the financial case for protection clear. These statistics highlight why protective eyewear has become essential gear for active dogs. The next step involves understanding the different types of goggles available and how each design addresses specific protection needs. Types of Dog Safety Goggles Available Dog goggles fall into three distinct categories, each designed for specific protection needs and activity levels. UV protection models dominate the market and represent a significant portion of the global protective goggles market, which is estimated at approximately 20 million units annually. These goggles feature polycarbonate lenses with 100% UV filters and work best for hikes, beach trips, and extended outdoor exposure. Rex Specs leads this category with impact-resistant frames that withstand active use, while Doggles offers lighter alternatives for smaller breeds. Anti-fog coatings prevent condensation during temperature changes (which makes these goggles ideal for dogs that transition between indoor and outdoor environments). UV Protection Goggles for Outdoor Activities Polycarbonate lenses block harmful UV rays while composite materials create lightweight frames that active dogs tolerate well. These models excel during sunny weather conditions and high-altitude adventures where UV intensity increases significantly. Mirrored lens options reduce glare on snow and water surfaces, while clear lenses work better for overcast conditions. The frames resist impacts from branches and rocks during trail activities. Adjustable straps accommodate different head sizes and maintain secure fits during vigorous movement. Wind and Debris Protection Models Wraparound designs provide superior protection against particles during high-speed activities like motorcycle rides and ATV adventures. These models feature deeper lens curves and extended side coverage that blocks wind-driven debris from multiple angles. The frames use flexible thermoplastic elastomer that conforms to different head shapes without pressure points. Silicone grips prevent strap slippage during movement, while ventilation channels reduce fog formation. Water sports versions include hydrophobic lens treatments that repel water droplets and maintain clear vision during swim sessions (particularly useful for dock diving activities). Dogs that hang their heads out of car windows should be fitted with goggles to prevent debris related eye injuries. Prescription and Medical Recovery Goggles Prescription goggles address vision correction needs for dogs with cataracts, glaucoma, or post-surgical recovery requirements. These specialized models feature custom lens powers determined through veterinary eye examinations and cost between $200 to $400 per pair. Medical recovery goggles protect healing eyes after procedures like cataract surgery or corneal repair through soft padding and reduced pressure designs. The prescription goggle market grows at 12% annually as veterinary ophthalmology advances and more owners invest in vision correction for aging dogs. Optivizor protective shields serve as alternatives when traditional goggles cause discomfort during extended medical wear periods. The wide variety of goggle types means pet owners need specific criteria to select the right protection for their dog’s unique needs and activities. Search and rescue dogs use tactical goggles with interchangeable lenses for different light conditions during professional operations. How to Choose the Right Goggles for Your Dog Accurate head measurements determine both comfort and protection effectiveness when you select dog goggles. Measure the circumference around your dog’s head just above the eyebrows and around the widest part with a soft measuring tape. This measurement typically ranges from 12 inches for small breeds to 26 inches for large breeds like German Shepherds. Next, measure the distance between the outer corners of your dog’s eyes to determine lens width requirements. The Rex Specs size guide indicates that most dogs fall into three categories: small (12-16 inches), medium (16-20 inches), and large (20-26 inches). Dogs with measurements between sizes should always choose the larger option, as tight goggles cause pressure sores and discomfort. Material Selection Determines Long-Term Success Polycarbonate lenses provide the best impact resistance and optical clarity, while thermoplastic elastomer frames offer flexibility without breaks during active use. Silicone pads around the eye area prevent chafe during extended wear periods (particularly important for dogs that wear goggles longer than two hours). The strap material should be neoprene or similar moisture-resistant fabric that prevents bacterial growth and maintains grip when wet. Avoid goggles with rigid plastic frames, as these create pressure points that cause most dogs to reject the eyewear within 15 minutes. Composite materials cost 30% more than basic plastics but last three times longer during regular outdoor use. Activity-Specific Features to Look For Dogs that swim need hydrophobic lens coats and drainage channels that prevent water accumulation behind the lenses. Dogs that hike require wraparound designs with side protection and anti-fog ventilation systems. Dogs that ride in vehicles need deeper lens curves and secure strap systems that maintain position during wind exposure. Prescription requirements add $150 to $250 to basic goggle costs but provide essential vision correction for dogs with cataracts or other eye conditions. The activity determines lens tint: clear lenses work best for overcast conditions and indoor-outdoor transitions, while mirrored lenses reduce glare during snow activities and water sports (dogs used for search and rescue operations need interchangeable lens systems that adapt to different light conditions throughout their work shifts). Final Thoughts Dog safety goggles transform outdoor adventures from risky activities into safe experiences that protect your pet’s vision for life. The $30 to $50 investment prevents thousands in veterinary bills while it eliminates 90% of preventable eye injuries that occur during routine activities. Dogs who wear proper eye protection avoid corneal scratches, UV damage, and debris-related trauma that leads to expensive treatments and permanent vision loss. The long-term benefits extend beyond injury prevention to maintain better vision quality as dogs age. Protected eyes avoid cataracts and pannus disease that affect unprotected pets throughout their lives. Active breeds especially benefit from consistent goggle use during outdoor activities (as their adventurous nature increases exposure to environmental hazards). Start by measuring your dog’s head circumference and select goggles that match your primary activities. Introduce the eyewear gradually with positive reinforcement techniques and allow your dog to adjust over several training sessions. We at DogingtonPost provide comprehensive guides and expert advice to help you make informed decisions about canine health and safety products.

Sleazy, Unethical Journalists Ask: Why Doesn’t Anyone Trust the Media?

According to the DHS Privacy Office report, the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Biden administration did not just mishandle a few cases — they secretly blacklisted conservatives and lowered their priority when it came to assistance.“They tracked Americans, their political and religious beliefs, during disasters — not in theory, in black and white,” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck says on “The Glenn Beck Program.”“When these people were flooded, they were homeless, they were desperate, and asked for help from the same government that preaches compassion and equity, they got something entirely different. They got silence, delay, and sometimes nothing at all,” he continues.According to the DHS report, “FEMA violated the Privacy Act of 1974 by collecting and storing data tied to protected speech.”“They were checking bumper stickers and writing you down in a book. They logged gun signage 72 times, Trump 15 times, firearms 5 times, Biden twice,” Glenn says.“Now it has been proven. FEMA workers skipped homes if you had a MAGA flag or a yard sign. And then they left notes,” he continues, quoting one of the workers’ notes: “‘There was a political flyer ... so I didn’t leave a FEMA brochure.’”Another quote from their notes reads: “‘We don’t recommend anyone visit this location.’”“That’s not a clerical error here. That’s a blacklist. This is the same agency that airlifts people off of rooftops after hurricanes, that distributes food and shelter when nothing else works. And they were told to avoid Americans because of who they voted for. Not terrorists, not criminals, citizens,” Glenn says.“I will tell you,” he continues, “I have been in disaster after disaster. ... I have shown up at the hurricanes and the floods and the tornadoes with help. And not once did it even occur to me to ask you, ‘What’s your political affiliation?'"Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Fayette County Sheriff’s DepartmentThe skull was found by a man walking on his property along the Whitewater River. A portion of a human skull found on the bank of the Whitewater River in Indiana has been determined to be more than 4,000 years old. The skull was initially discovered in early June 2025 by a local man walking around his property. Now, radiocarbon dating has revealed that it’s roughly 4,270 years old, dating back to about 2300 B.C.E. There is still a lot to be uncovered about this historic find. For instance, it currently remains unclear whether the skull belonged to a man or a woman, or what Indigenous group this person was a part of. Nevertheless, it’s an astonishing discovery — and one that was made by chance. The Chance Discovery Of A Skull That Turned Out To Be More Than 4,000 Years Old Fayette County Sheriff’s DepartmentThe skull was found on this Fayette County riverbank, about 70 miles southeast of Indianapolis. On June 2, 2025, a man walking on his property along the Whitewater River in Fayette County, Indiana saw something peculiar on the bank. What he found quickly proved to be a portion of a human skull. The skull remains, coming from the crown section, are approximately the size of an adult human’s hand. Scientists believe the skull was fragmented not from trauma, but from natural degradation over the years. The man immediately contacted the county sheriff’s department about the find, according to a Facebook post from the Fayette County Coroner’s Office. “This discovery underscores the importance of our community’s vigilance and the necessity of professional collaboration,” Coroner Eddie Richardson said in the social media post. “I want to commend the landowner for their responsible action in immediately reporting the finding.” The man who found the skull was a local landowner — and a collector of Native American artifacts. After he reported the remains to the sheriff’s office, the skull underwent thorough examination in order to determine how old it was. While officials have been able to determine that the skull is about 4,270 years old, there is still much they don’t know. The skull is likely from an adult, but it is unknown if this person was a man or woman. Repatriating The Remains To The Appropriate Indigenous Group Fayette County Sheriff’s DepartmentThe skull was found along the banks of the Whitewater River in Fayette County, Indiana. The coroner’s office is working alongside archaeologists from the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma to try to determine which Indigenous population this person may have belonged to. “The remains could belong to an individual associated with any number of tribes, including the Shawnee, Potawatomi, Delaware or Cherokee, among others,” Richardson told The New York Times. The coroner’s office, announcing the discovery on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, said it is a “humbling reminder” of the people who lived on this land before Europeans arrived. It’s believed that people first began to live in this region during the Late Archaic period, about 10,000 years ago. According to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, these early people of present-day Indiana would’ve been hunter-gatherers. They made tools, including projectile points, scrapers, and long blades, out of chert rock and other raw materials. By 2300 B.C.E., both locals’ knowledge of the land and the breadth of tools they could make increased. They developed many varieties of woodworking tools and tools for food processing, including mortars, grinding slabs, and bone and antler tools. Now, the coroner’s office is also teaming up with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources in order to determine the best next steps for the remains. Their goal is to follow the proper legal procedure for repatriation and site management. “My hope is that it inspires local people to learn more about the history of the land they live on,” said Krista Latham, a forensic anthropologist who helped examine the skull. “In this case, the individual lived so long ago that we cannot provide a name. But we can make sure they rest with their loved ones.” After reading about the 4,270-year-old skull found in Indiana, discover the 9 most historic Native American warriors to ever live. Then, learn about the remains of a prehistoric Native American woman who was 24 weeks pregnant when she was killed by arrows.

Sawada et al. 2025One of the skulls analyzed during the study has two perforations and appears to be highly polished. During a study of almost 200 human bones from China’s Neolithic Liangzhu culture, researchers made a surprising discovery: Several dozen of them showed some kind of modification. The bones had been perforated, split, ground down, or polished. Though seemingly discarded before completion, some formed skull “masks,” while others were crafted into skull “cups.” Many questions remain about this curious find, but researchers suspect that the modified bones are related to prehistoric rituals and changing attitudes toward death in increasingly urban settings. The Bones Of The Neolithic Liangzhu Culture According to a study published in Scientific Reports, 183 bones were discovered during studies at Neolithic Liangzhu culture sites in southern China’s Yangtze River Delta. The bones date back to between 5,300 and 4,500 years ago, and 52 of them had seemingly been modified in some way. “Interestingly,” the researchers wrote in their study, “many of them show evidence of working, such as splitting, grinding, perforating, and polishing.” Scientific Reports One of four skulls that was seemingly modified into a mask. The prehistoric bones had been modified into skull cups, masks, and plate shapes. Some skulls had perforations, jaw bones had flattened bases, and limb bones showed signs of having been flattened, cut, or cracked. Several had seemingly been highly polished. The bones belonged to a wide range of ages and sexes — researchers discovered remains from both men, women, and children. And the bones, lacking cut marks, were seemingly harvested long after death. “There were no signs of violence, no cut marks on the bone surface that could be interpreted as disarticulation marks, and no evidence of burning,” the researchers wrote in their study. Yet, most of the bone items were apparently discarded before they were finished. The researchers noted that 80 percent were seemingly incomplete when they were tossed into nearby canals and moats. Scientific ReportsSkulls that were seemingly modified into plates. “This high proportion prompts several questions regarding the reasons for abandonment,” the researchers wrote. “Were these items left unfinished due to technical failure? Did their incompleteness carry ritual or symbolic meaning? Or was production interrupted due to shifting social priorities?” For now, many questions about the modified bones remain. But researchers have some ideas about who they may have belonged to and what purpose they may have served. The Mysterious Purpose Of The Neolithic Liangzhu Bones China’s Liangzhu culture emerged around 5,300 to 4,500 years ago along the Yangtze River Delta. It’s one of the earliest — and largest — walled urban societies in the country. Liangzhu settlements are quite sophisticated, with cemeteries, dams, canals, altars, workshops, and palaces. So, why did its people modify bones and then discard them? Scientific ReportsSkulls modified to make what appear to be cups. Because the Liangzhu culture left no written record, the answer has to be based on some historical guesswork. For example, historians know that skull cups, similar to the ones in the study, were previously found at burials of high-status Liangzhu citizens. As such, the discarded bones could have held some ritual or religious significance. However, researchers found that the bones in their study showed signs of poor health and nutrition, suggesting that they belonged to lower classes. Their hypothesis is that the discarded bones were seen as easily accessible raw material — and that this was directly connected to the growth of an urban society. The bones possibly belonged to some kind of “other,” either lower-class people or foreigners, whose anonymity in a large urban society with weak social ties led to their bones being used for another purpose. “In ancient Liangzhu, the coexistence of two distinct concepts of corpse treatment — namely, burial and use as raw material for production — was perhaps made possible by the rise of an urban society, where the dead increasingly included unrelated strangers who were not regarded as subjects of commemoration,” the researchers wrote. “This distinction may reflect new social realities of urban life in which the anonymous dead became more available and more utilitarian in character.” After reading about the modified bones found at Neolithic sites in China, discover the astounding story of the terracotta warriors, the thousands of life-like sculptures made to “guard” an ancient Chinese emperor. Or, learn about “Lady Dai,” the incredibly well-preserved Chinese mummy from the third-century Han Dynasty.
