Myth 2: Frozen Steamed Buns Are Inedible
Eagle County has set a lofty goal to combat climate change by achieving an 80% reduction in carbon emissions from 2014 levels by 2050. One major emitter of carbon emissions is buildings, which can be remedied by constructing net zero buildings. In the Eagle County Climate Action Plan is a goal to reach a net zero or all-electric building code for new construction by 2030. A cohort of Eagle, Pitkin and Garfield County communities, led by Walking Mountains Science Center, Lotus Engineering and Sustainability and the Community Office for Regional Efficiency, has put together a regional roadmap for how to achieve this goal. “In implementing a net zero building standard by 2030, it basically guarantees that any infrastructure we build from 2030 onward will be, in essence, operationally carbon-free,” said Kim Schlaepfer, managing director of climate mitigation and resiliency planning for Lotus Engineering & Sustainability. “So those buildings throughout their lifetime will not be responsible for emitting carbon as they are run.” The roadmap provides concrete steps Eagle, Pitkin and Garfield County municipalities can take to set a standard of net zero new construction. The roadmap is funded by the Colorado Energy Office. “This roadmap effort, to me, really brings together all of those pieces of workforce, of thinking about equity and how we want to build affordability, resilience, healthy homes for our local community members,” Schlaepfer said. “And this idea of regional collaboration can make us better and can make us make these goals easier to achieve.” The roadmap has four main objectives: Define a net zero energy code for new construction, map a path to eliminating operational greenhouse gas emissions generated from new construction, providing local governments a plan for implementing and enforcing net zero new building requirements and supporting ongoing collaboration between municipalities in the region to match each other’s building codes. The roadmap defines net zero construction as a building that is powered by electricity, uses renewable energy from the grid and/or on-site generation, can store energy and/or shift energy use to reduce peak demand on the electric grid, achieves energy efficiency performance above base energy codes, is designed to minimize embodied carbon and is EV-ready. The roadmap was also created with the intention of reassessing it as it is implemented to better apply it to the real world. “This roadmap was built today with our best-case assumptions of what technology is going to do over the next six years,” Schlaepfer said. “So intentionally built into the roadmap were these reevaluation points.” And while the roadmap does prioritize all-electric construction, Schlaepfer acknowledged that there will be buildings for which net zero construction does not yet make sense. “There is an understood and needed place for exceptions,” Schlaepfer said. “We know that if we were to change over some industrial process loads from gas to electric, it would be a huge amount of electricity that’s needed. And so it’s about smart electrification. ... It’s about being kind of smart with those exceptions and making sure that we’re not hurting our community or putting in place requirements that drive up energy costs.” “We’re seeing increased temperatures across the state of Colorado, across the United States, across the globe. And we know based on a lot of modeling and also real-life climate examples that that’s leading to higher temperatures, leads to less water availability, it leads to higher risks of intense wildfires,” Schlaepfer said. “And we live right in the middle of a place that you know could be in the next several years highly water insecure and highly at fire risk.” Most of Eagle County’s existing buildings run on gas, and, as a result, continuously emit carbon. On the other hand, “our electricity supply is continuously getting cleaner. In addition to that, I think it’s a 29% reduction from our 2014 baseline that we get just from the electricity supply going 100% renewable energy,” Schlaepfer said. “The roadmap will result in another 7% carbon emission reduction from that baseline.” Having all municipalities within a region be aligned on the same codes streamlines the process of building to meet the code requirements for local contractors. “The workforce would really appreciate if local governments could align their codes as much as possible because it’s just less for them to have to know and learn and understand,” Schlaepfer said. Climate leaders in Eagle County have been working to align local municipalities on the same building codes since 2022. Right now, Eagle County, Eagle, Avon and Minturn are all on the same 2021 codes, while Vail just moved to the 2024 codes and Gypsum is on the 2018 codes. “This new roadmap is sort of a part two of that effort,” Schlaepfer said. To align with the 2021 codes, most municipalities adopted an “electric preferred standard,” and in 2021, Colorado implemented a requirement for all communities to adopt an “electric readiness standard,” such that any newly constructed home has to be pre-wired for an easy swap from gas to electric fuel. “That means they have to have plugs in the wall, they have to have wire running through the walls, and they have to have enough capacity in their electric panel to support the swap out of a gas appliance to an electric appliance,” Schlaepfer said. The electric preferred standard means that all buildings in those municipalities — Eagle County, Avon, Minturn, Eagle and Basalt — are built to above code efficiency standards if they have gas in place and are wired for all-electric. As local energy providers work toward achieving a 100% renewable grid, constructing all-electric buildings, by default, will make the buildings net zero. “Electricity supply is 100% renewable. If you build an all-electric building, you are in effect eliminating carbon,” Schlaepfer said. Holy Cross Energy is committed to reaching 100% renewable energy by 2030, Xcel Energy is mandated by state law to achieve 80% renewable energy by 2030, and Aspen Electric and Glenwood Springs Electric are already at 100% renewable energy. Building to all-electric code also provides savings for those who live in residential buildings, as renewable energy lowers energy bills. According to the Eagle County Climate Equity Plan, a survey recently administered by Walking Mountains Science Center and soon to be published, “72% of Spanish-speaking survey takers and 32% of English-speaking survey takers use money meant for important needs like food and medicine to pay their energy bills instead,” Schlaepfer said. “Additionally, renters who often live in less energy-efficient properties face additional barriers like landlords being unwilling to make energy-saving upgrades,” Schlaepfer said. “I think that point really drives home that this roadmap isn’t for the wealthy billionaires. ... It’s not for our visitors. It’s really to make sure that we as a community are prioritizing resilient, healthy, sustainable buildings for our local community to make sure that we, as a community, can continue to stay and thrive here.” Lotus and Walking Mountains hosted six listen and learn sessions to ask for input on the roadmap from the local workforce in the building industry, including architects, general contractors, mechanical engineers and mechanical contractors. “Across the board, we heard a really strong sentiment that consistent codes would be really great,” Schlaepfer said. The concept of building new construction projects all-electric is not new for most Eagle County municipalities. “The trend right now across the board when we see local governments building new affordable housing complexes is that they are all-electric net-zero already,” Schlaepfer said. The roadmap needs to be implemented by local governments by ordinance or resolution to apply to new construction. The plan’s leaders will be coming to Eagle and Pitkin County municipalities to present the plan over the next six months. “We’re trying to take a really targeted and strategic approach to getting folks to adopt this and getting everybody on the same page,” Schlaepfer said. “But you’re not done when you adopt this,” Schlaepfer said. “If you agree to this, you’re agreeing to ongoing coordination and collaboration with your regional, local government partners. You’re agreeing to ... really trying to take a holistic regional approach to a code standard rather than every local government putting their own unique spin on a code that lands us with seven different codes across the community that a builder has to know.”Baku: Countries agreed on Sunday to an annual finance target of $460 billion to help poorer countries deal with the impacts of climate change, with rich countries leading the payments, according to a hard fought deal clinched at the COP29 conference in Baku. The new goal is intended to replace developed countries’ previous commitment to provide $150 billion per year in climate finance for poorer nations by 2020. That goal was met two years late, in 2022, and expires in 2025. Activists participate in a demonstration for climate finance at the COP29 UN Climate Summit. Credit: AP Countries also agreed on rules for a global market to buy and sell carbon credits that proponents say could mobilise billions more dollars into new projects to help fight global warming, from reforestation to deployment of clean energy technologies. On Saturday, negotiators went from one big room where everyone tried to hash out a deal together into several separate huddles of upset nations.

One prevalent myth regarding pneumonia is that individuals diagnosed with the condition should start taking antibiotics immediately. However, in reality, the appropriate treatment for pneumonia depends on the specific type of infection causing the illness. While bacterial pneumonia typically requires antibiotic treatment, viral pneumonia, which is more common, does not respond to antibiotics.While the general recommendation of 7 hours of sleep per night may be suitable for some adults, individual sleep needs can vary based on a variety of factors:

Title: Foreign Media: White House Considering Pardoning Criminals, Seeking Public Input to Push Pardons
End of article.ALPHARETTA, Ga. , Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Arclin, a leading material science company, officially launched its new brand on November 12, 2024 . This modern rebranding reflects the company's evolution as a material science provider with a focus on protective and mission-critical products and its expanded presence as a global leader across key market sectors. To better align its brand with its evolving vision, Arclin embarked on a year-long research, strategy, and creative development process. The initial months focused on gathering insights from internal stakeholders, existing customers, and industry experts to identify key strengths, value propositions, and areas for growth. "The research phase was pivotal in helping us sharpen our focus and align internally so that we could better represent our true value and potential to different internal and external audiences," said Mark Glaspey , Arclin's Chief Operating Officer. A key partner in this transformation has been Matchstic, a brand identity firm based in Atlanta, GA. Collaborating closely with the Arclin team, Matchstic helped transform the company's narrative from a chemical and applications company to that of a global leader in formulated technologies that are essential to meeting worldwide demand. As part of its overall rebranding effort, Arclin also worked with Whiteboard, a Chattanooga, TN , based company, to completely overhaul its website onto a more robust, easier-to-navigate platform that more clearly represents the depth and breadth of the company's offerings. Inspired by the Arclin out-of-the-box approach to thinking and innovating, the new brand symbol is a nod to a deconstructed cube. The shape of the panels implies movement and momentum that speaks to the company's continued innovation and commitment to bringing life-changing products to the world. "The selection of a vibrant orange as our primary color represents a bold departure from our previous brand," said Jana Wright , Arclin's Vice President of Brand & Marketing. "This change signals a confident transition, positioning Arclin as a leading material science company. Our new logo reflects our philosophy of technological precision and innovation." The stenciled wordmark visualizes the relationship between the seen and the unseen with intentional gaps inside the letterforms. This idea highlights the seemingly invisible science that is the backbone of Arclin products—technologies that are vital and found in essential protective products across numerous industries, enhancing our lives in ways that many people do not realize. "We've been around for many years, but never have we been able to fully articulate or capture what we do," stated Bradley Bolduc , Arclin's President and Chief Executive Officer. "It's a complex process, producing polymers and materials that touch so many products and areas of life. We've always taken a back seat in that story. But now is the time to change that, highlighting our transformation over the past five years, by making a bold change in how we present ourselves to our employees, customers and industry as a whole."

The party has been winning the key seats of Nashik East, West and Central since 2014. Although the sitting BJP MLA from Nashik Central, Devyani Pharande , saw her victory margin reduced by over 10,000 votes compared to 2019, what is significant is that MVA had taken a lead of over 3,000 in this assembly segment during the Nashik Lok Sabha polls held earlier this year. The other two sitting BJP MLAs—Seema Hiray from Nashik West and Rahul Dhikhale from Nashik East—won by over 87,000 and 68,000 votes, respectively. The three MLAs said voters reposed their trust in all them because of the development work they have done. "My opponents tried to create a false narrative about the constituency becoming a hub of drug abuse. But my voters have given my political adversaries a befitting response by helping me win," said Pharande, who won in Nashik Central. tnn Maharashtra Jharkhand Maharashtra Alliance View i Party View Seats: 288 Results Majority: 145 BJP+ 229 MVA 47 OTH 12 Results : 288 / 288 BJP+ WON Jharkhand Alliance View i Party View Seats: 81 Results Majority: 41 INDIA 56 NDA 24 OTH 1 Results : 81 / 81 INDIA WON Source: PValue
