Rescued chickens wearing diapers join monthly Florida yoga class
The chickens mostly walk around the room, cluck at one another and sit on the floor and yoga mats. Sometimes they lounge on people’s stomachs.

Just 30 years after the 1870 Education Act introduced publicly funded schools, they had an attendance 1.9 million children.
Due to these schools, the gap in attaining literate occupations between lower- and higher-class children fell by approximately 18% in treated areas.
