The Court said schools that practice race discrimination cannot receive tax exemptions, unless a non discriminatory rule is adopted.

Understanding spirometry readings for lung function
Dr Donohue explains spirometry basics in plain terms. Vital capacity for a 64‑year‑old woman is about 2.7 to 3.7 liters and the forced expiratory volume in one second ranges from 1.3 to 2.5 liters, with lower values suggesting obstruction from conditions like bronchitis. The test readings vary with age height weight and sex and involve multiple measures beyond these.
