jolibet apk download latest version Landfills in Colorado release millions of metric tons of greenhouse gasses each year as organic waste including food, paper and yard trimmings decomposes into the soil, contributing to global warming and harming human health. Colorado, as part of its multi-pronged approach to eliminate 90% of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, is planning to address those landfill emissions next year with rules that could require operators to install new equipment to curb the amount of methane they release and to increase monitoring technology to better track just how much is being generated. The state’s Air Quality Control Commission is expected to create the new rules in August, which would place Colorado among the nation’s first states to enact more stringent regulations on landfills than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency . The state kicked off its efforts last week with the first of three public hearings to explain why environmental leaders want to regulate landfill emissions of methane, a far more potent pollutant than carbon dioxide, and how they would propose doing so. Along with reducing air pollution, the methane reduction also would benefit communities in Colorado that live near landfills, where residents often are Latino, Black or Indigenous and earn less money than the average household. Finally, reducing methane would also help the Front Range improve its air quality , which is in severe violation of federal ozone standards. “Methane is an incredibly potent climate pollutant and reducing methane emissions from landfills is a very cost-effective climate action solution,” said Suzanne Jones, executive director of Eco-Cycle , a nonprofit recycler in Boulder. “And it’s an opportunity for Colorado to use its expertise on methane monitoring of oil and gas operations to apply to landfills as a model for the rest of the country.” There are 51 active landfills in Colorado, and some are owned and operated by cities and counties, while others are owned by private companies. It’s unclear how many will be impacted by the new methane reduction regulations, since regulators have not finalized their proposal that would determine how big of a polluter a landfill would need to be to fall under the new rules. Landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions behind oil and gas production and livestock farming in the United States. Colorado’s landfills released 1.45 million metric tons of greenhouse gases in 2020, the most current data available from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment . That’s 1% of all the greenhouse gas emissions in the state, Tim Taylor, a supervisor in the department’s climate change program, said during last week’s public hearing. However, environmentalists and even federal and state regulators believe the amount of methane leaking from landfills could be much greater. In June, a NASA study using satellite data estimated that landfills in the U.S. are releasing 50% more methane than the EPA reports, and a subset of 70 high-emitting landfills found emissions were 77% higher on median than what was reported to the EPA. Only 21 of Colorado’s landfills are large enough to report their methane emissions to the EPA under current regulations, but they account for 76% of the industrial methane sources in the state, ahead of mining, manufacturing and food processing, according to a report released this month by Industrious Labs and Healthy Air and Water Colorado , a coalition of health care professionals fighting climate change. Landfills are “living masses of waste” where food scraps, discarded paper products and landscaping material break down over the years and release methane along with other chemicals such as benzene and toluene, said Katherine Blauvelt, circular economy director at Industrious Labs, a group focused on reducing industry’s impact on climate change. “Colorado landfills are responsible for the equivalent of 1 million cars on the road,” Blauvelt said. “Every little bit of methane you don’t put in the atmosphere has a positive impact. The way you do that is through basic regulations. In Colorado, it’s like we are on Windows 2000 technology.” The EPA already requires larger landfills to control and report emissions, but Colorado is planning to expand those requirements to smaller landfills, increasing the number that will be regulated, Taylor said. Under the EPA’s requirements, landfills are regulated based on their designed capacity, but Colorado will order landfills to follow the new rules based on the amount of waste they already have in place, he said. Landfills that fall under the threshold Colorado sets will be required to install gas collection and control systems to capture the methane, Taylor said. Then the operator would have choices: Install an enclosed combustion flare so methane is burned off and turned into carbon dioxide, which is a less potent pollutant, or convert the methane into a natural gas that can be used in the electrical grid, Taylor said. The state also is considering a requirement for landfills to use biofilters or biocovers to reduce methane emissions. “Biocovers and biofilters are passive methods for reducing landfill emissions because they rely on naturally occurring microbes or methane-eating bacteria to convert methane to carbon dioxide or water without the need for any external energy input or active intervention,” Taylor said. Environmentalists also are pushing the state for more monitoring of landfills, including the use of drones and satellite imagery to better detect leaks that otherwise might be unseen because of looser monitoring requirements. Employees at landfills that already monitor emissions do so once a quarter by walking the property with detection devices, Blauvelt said. Air flights conducted to look for methane leaks from the sky have detected unreported plumes at multiple Colorado landfills, including the Tower Landfill in Commerce City, the Larimer County Landfill in Fort Collins and the North Weld Landfill in Ault, according to the Industrious Labs report. At the Tower Landfill, there were nine large methane plumes detected by flights in September 2023 and August 2024. Those plumes were so large that they would have been considered super emitters by the EPA’s standards for the oil and gas industry, the report said. The landfill, which is owned and operated by Republic Services , detected more than 20 instances that went over federal limits for methane emissions during a quarterly inspection in August. But “a landfill can leak methane more than quarterly,” the report said. Colorado received a federal grant for aerial monitoring of methane emissions in the state and environmentalists hope it will be applied to regulating landfills, Blauvelt said. “This is about common sense improvements based on what we know about methane,” she said. Melissa Quillard, a Republic Services spokeswoman, said the August 2024 plume at Tower Landfill happened as the company was constructing a new landfill cell and had multiple pieces of excavation equipment running. That work temporarily exposed waste so that engineered liners and additional infrastructure could be installed, she said. Quillard’s email did not address the September 2023 plume. While Republic Services does not comment on pending rule changes, Quillard noted that gas coming from landfills fluctuates throughout the day based on the age and composition of waste, weather, construction and how the trash is being moved around the landfill. Any monitoring and reporting techniques would need to take into account those dynamics, she said in a statement emailed to The Denver Post. Satellites and drones capture a moment in time and do not follow the EPA’s existing reporting model or provide a representative assessment of a landfill’s overall emissions, she said. Republic Services owns three landfills in metro Denver, and the company is building a new organic waste facility in the area. Two of the local sites are in the early stages of developing projects that will convert methane to usable natural gas. And the company already uses capture-and-control systems to burn off methane, Quillard said. One thing that will not be addressed as the landfill methane emissions rule is created is how to lower the amount of waste sent to landfills through expanded composting and recycling. That’s because this rule will be created by the Air Quality Control Commission, a body that can only set air pollution policies. Brian Loma, the hazardous waste reduction advocate for GreenLatinos Colorado , hopes the state health department’s Hazardous Waste and Materials Management Division will push for improved composting and recycling at the same time the air quality commission takes up proposed methane rules. GreenLatinos supports more regulation of landfills because so many Latinos live within a mile of trash dumps, forcing them to breathe dirtier air. “The No. 1 way to reduce methane emissions is to not put organic material in the landfill,” Loma said. Two more public hearings about Colorado’s proposed rules to reduce methane emissions from landfills are scheduled in early 2025. They are set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 11 and 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 26, and will be held on Zoom. To register to attend or comment on the rules, visit tinyurl.com/4pfnc8yy .

Not just nukes: Space Weather team at Offutt watches for solar storms

BeyondTrucks Adds Orderful’s Data Platform Into Transportation SystemWASHINGTON (AP) — withdrew Thursday as pick for attorney general amid continued fallout over a that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation's chief federal law enforcement officer. The announcement caps a turbulent eight-day period in which Trump sought to capitalize on his decisive election win to force Senate Republicans to accept provocative selections like Gaetz, who had been investigated by the Justice Department before being tapped last week to lead it. The decision could heighten scrutiny on other controversial Trump nominees, including , who faces sexual assault allegations that he denies. “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” Gaetz, a Florida Republican who one day earlier met with senators in an effort to win their support, said in a statement. “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1," he added. Trump, in a social media post, said: “I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!” He did not immediately announce a new selection. Last week, Todd Blanche, Emil Bove and D. John Sauer to senior roles in the department. Another possible contender, Matthew Whitaker, The withdrawal, just a week after the pick was announced, averts what was shaping up to be a pitched confirmation fight that would have tested how far Senate Republicans were willing to go to support Trump’s Cabinet picks. The selection of the fierce Trump ally over well-regarded veteran lawyers whose names had circulated as possible contenders stirred concern for the Justice Department's independence at a time when Trump has openly threatened to seek retribution against political adversaries. It underscored the premium Trump to have a disruptor lead a Justice Department that for years investigated and ultimately indicted him. In the Senate, deeply skeptical lawmakers sought more information about Justice Department and congressional investigations into sex trafficking allegations involving underage girls, which Gaetz has denied. Meanwhile, with limited legal experience who has echoed Trump's claims of a weaponized criminal justice system. As Gaetz sought to lock down Senate support, concern over the sex trafficking allegations showed no signs of abating. In recent days, said his clients told House Ethics Committee investigators that Gaetz paid them for sex on multiple occasions beginning in 2017, when Gaetz was a Florida congressman. One of the women testified she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old at a party in Florida in 2017, according to the attorney, Joel Leppard. Leppard has said that his client testified she didn’t think Gaetz knew the girl was underage, stopped their relationship when he found out and did not resume it until after she turned 18. The age of consent in Florida is 18. "They’re grateful for the opportunity to move forward with their lives,” Leppard said Thursday of his clients. “They’re hoping that this brings final closure for all the parties involved.” Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. The Justice Department’s investigation ended last year with no charges against him. Gaetz’s political future is uncertain. He had abruptly resigned his congressional seat upon being selected as attorney general, a move seen as a way to shut down the ethics investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He did win reelection in November for the new Congress, which convenes Jan. 3, 2025, but he said in his resignation letter last week that he did not intend to take the oath of office. There are plans for a special election in Florida for his seat. Republicans on the House Ethics Committee declined this week to release the panel's findings, over objections from Democrats in a split vote. But the committee did agree to finish its work and is scheduled to meet again Dec. 5 to discuss the matter. As word of Gaetz's decision spread across the Capitol, Republican senators seemed divided. Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who served with Gaetz in the House, called it a “positive move." Maine Sen. Susan Collins said Gaetz “put country first and I am pleased with his decision.” Others said they had hoped Gaetz could have overhauled the department. Florida Sen. Rick Scott, a close ally of Trump, said he was “disappointed. I like Matt and I think he would have changed the way DOJ is run.” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said he hopes Trump will pick someone “equally as tenacious and equally as committed to rooting out and eliminating bias and politicization at the DOJ.” Gaetz is not the only Trump pick facing congressional scrutiny over past allegations. A detailed investigative police report made public Wednesday shows that a woman told police that she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by Hegseth, the former Fox News host now tapped to lead the Pentagon, after he took her phone, blocked the door to a California hotel room and refused to let her leave. “The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared,” Hegseth told reporters Thursday at the Capitol, where he was meeting with senators to build support for his nomination.

Malique Ewin finished with team highs of 17 points and seven rebounds to lead the Florida State Seminoles to a 92-59 victory over the Massachusetts Minutemen in each team's final game of the Naismith Hall of Fame Tip-Off on Sunday afternoon in Uncasville, Conn. The Seminoles (6-1) won their third consecutive game and went 2-0 in the event as they pulled away in the second half, leading by as many as 36 points. It's Florida State's best start since the 2019-20 season when it went 7-1. UMass (1-5) dropped its fifth in a row following a season-opening win over New Hampshire despite a strong game on Sunday from Jaylen Curry, who scored 17 points. Curry, with six free throws, helped propel the Minutemen on a 10-0 run over a four-plus minute span in the first half to take a 24-23 lead with 4:22 left. FSU closed the half on a 13-3 run to lead 37-27 at halftime. A 15-4 surge to open the second half helped the Seminoles break the game open. Florida State's defense frustrated UMass shooters throughout the contest, especially on the perimeter, limiting the Minutemen to 3-for-24 shooting (12.5 percent) from 3-point range and 18-for-58 (31 percent) overall. The Seminoles finished with 22 points off 17 UMass turnovers. On the flipside, Florida State had one of its best shooting games of the season. The Seminoles moved the ball well throughout the game and finished with 25 assists while only turning the ball over 10 times. The Seminoles shot 33 for 58 (57 percent) from the field and made 9 of 18 three-pointers to put together a season-high scoring output. Once again, Florida State shined thanks to its depth as 10 players scored and four scored in double figures. The Seminoles were able to have 16 players participate in the game as well. Jamir Watkins finished with 14 points while Jerry Deng and Justin Thomas each had 10 points. For UMass, Daniel Rivera finished with 12 points and six rebounds while Nate Guerengomba had 10 points. Daniel Hankins-Sanford collected a game-high 13 rebounds. --Field Level Media

Police Minister Mark Mitchell has criticised the behaviour of a police officer posing for cameras while wearing a gang patch in the office. Footage of the police officer wearing the patch over his uniform emerged on social media just days after the gang patch ban came into effect. Mitchell said the behaviour was disappointing and fell short of expectations. The images were taken in June and the officer responsible had come forward, he said. Mitchell added that overall, he was pleased with how the Gangs Act had rolled out and police conduct regarding breaches. Police Assistant Commissioner Paul Basham said an internal process would determine any further action taken against the officer.

UNION COUNTY — Lindsey Carmichael is on a mission to prove orthopedic shoes aren’t just for grandmas. She wants to show women these shoes should be as fashionable as they are supportive. This is why Carmichael, a La Grande native living in Boise, started her own shoe brand in December 2023. “I had the idea for a long time because it’s historically very difficult to fund a functional, comfortable shoe that is also aesthetic,” Carmichael said. So, she created Soleni Shoes to provide just that. An idea is born “I would say this whole journey was initiated from a knee injury I experienced in high school,” she said. Carmichael was an all-around athlete in school. She played soccer, basketball and ran track for La Grande High School. Then during her senior year she blew out her knee while playing basketball. The experience was devastating for Carmichael and her teammates. The tigers were ranked No. 1 in the state that season. She said it was a “life changing injury.” Carmichael underwent surgery in Portland to repair her torn ACL, MCL and her medial and lateral meniscus. After graduating from LHS in 2003, she went on to play four years of college basketball and one year of college soccer at the Oregon Institute of Technology, but her knee injury was a catalyst for future issues, including arthritis. “I got my knee fixed, everything was fine and then I just started having some pretty serious problems in my mid-20s,” Carmichael said. But not everything that came out of the experience was bad. Carmichael said her initial interactions with her medical team left an impression on her and ultimately gave her the drive to go to school to become a physician assistant, also commonly referred to as a physician assistant She has worked as a PA for the last 15 years and specifically within orthopedics for nearly 10. “As I’ve grown in my career as a PA, I’ve developed my own orthopedic issues and with all of my interactions with my patients — particularly female patients — I’ve come to realize that I’m not an anomaly. Tons of women have lots of lower extremity joint paint,” she said. The shoes Carmichael draws on her experience as a mother, physician assistant and former athlete to create Soleni Shoes. “I think the combination of my personal experience with orthopedics and surgery and also my interactions with all of my patients have collectively put me where I’m at now,” she said. She works with a developer and a designer to create the shoes, which are then produced in Southern China. She said it takes around 18 months of turnaround time to make a new style and design. Carmichael said the thing that sets her footwear apart is the contoured removable footbed, which provides orthopedic comfort without the orthopedic look. The trademarked Soleni Solace offers built-in comfort with a wider toe box, a deep heel cup and arch support. “The footbed itself is something that if a patient came to me and had some of the simple bread and butter orthopedic complaints like plantar fasciitis or bunion pain or metatarsalgia, that type of contoured footbed would be what I would recommend in my clinic for patients,” Carmichael said. Having enough room inside the shoe to fit prescription orthotics also mattered to her. Carmichael explained when she was playing varsity soccer at 15 she experienced some bad lower back pain. Her physical therapist at Mountain Valley Therapy determined she needed prescription orthotics, which helped alleviate the pain. However, she said that a “struggle with prescription orthotics is trying to shove those into different types of shoes.” Next steps Carmichael mainly sells her shoes online. She said that it’s easier to reach people with her story through the internet. “It’s such a relatable story for lots of people. I’m just a small town kid that had big dreams and pursued them,” she said. Since her background is in medicine, Carmichael said there was a steep learning curve when it came to launching Soleni Shoes. There was the nitty-gritty of footwear development and design, but with international manufacturing she had to learn about getting her products on shopping containers, licensings, fees and tariffs. Carmichael also had to learn everything about marketing, from search engine optimization to creating and editing videos to promote her business, and accounting. “I celebrate every time I balance my QuickBooks accounts,” she said with a laugh. Eventually, Carmichael said she would like to retire from her job as a PA and focus full time on Soleni Shoes. In the future, she would like to expand into wholesale and believes her footwear line would best fit in boutiques. Her shoes are for sale at a few physical stores, such as R&C Adventure Footwear. “It also means the world for them to support me,” Carmichael said.PNC Financial Services Group Inc. increased its position in iShares Silver Trust ( NYSEARCA:SLV – Free Report ) by 2.0% during the 3rd quarter, according to its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
