"Nationally, more than 74,000 students were subjected to physical or mechanical restraint in the 2017-18 school year, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. That year, more than 2,400 Minnesota students were subjected to more than 11,600 instances of physical restraint. Minnesota, along with Texas and a cluster of Midwestern states, including Illinois and Iowa, were among the most frequent users of the practice, according to a 2019 analysis by ProPublica and The Chicago Tribune.

The data, which is self-reported by local school districts to federal education officials, is likely a significant undercount. "

Yet, as Oren Falk, a historian at Cornell, and other scholars have observed, on the whole there is an apparent "utter disinterest in volcanic phenomena" in not only the Book of Settlements , but in all the Icelandic sagas and poems that follow, too. What accounts for this silence? "

"Calculating that T. rex survived for about 127,000 generations, the researchers came up with a figure of 2.5 billion individuals over the species' entire existence. Only 32 adult T. rex have been discovered as fossils, so the fossil record accounts for just one in about every 80 million T. rex. "
