Global Gen Z Views on Beijing: A Journey Through the City's Culture, Innovation, and Ecology

A part of Ipswich Waterfront has been labelled as 'Fargo' by residents due to ongoing anti-social behaviour. Those living in Anchor Street spoke out after reporting a "honk-a-thon" outside their window in the early hours of Sunday, November 17. Vehicles reportedly arrived from 10pm on the evening of Saturday, November 16, filling the air with music, shouting and laughter under properties in Anchor Street , noise and disruption until the early hours of the morning. Suffolk Constabulary said that they were not aware of any incidents on Sunday and that noise and traffic complaints would be matters for Suffolk County Council. The "honk-a-thon" is another incident of anti-social behaviour that has been plaguing residents around Helena Street and the Orwell Quay for the last two years according to the residents. An Anchor Street resident said: "We feel like we're Fargo, getting one stagecoach a week and being ignored where as the other end [of the Waterfront] is Las Vegas, where all the money is and the problems are always sorted." Helena Road was the scene of a honkathon where cars continuously honked at each other until the early hours of the morning (Image: Oli Picton) One issue is due to damaged bollards on Helena Street which has meant cars drive down there late at night, disturbing residents. Two residents of the area, who wished to remain nameless said: "It is so frustrating because we have been raising these issues for two years now and nothing has happened. "We have gone to the police who say to go to the county council, we go to them and they say to go to environmental health, we go to them and they say to go to highways. The bollards on Helena Road, near A Listers at Aurora have been bent back and broken, allowing cars to speed down the road near the Waterfront (Image: Oli Picton) "We are just going in circles and it is so frustrating as it seems like such a easy problem to solve." "We have lost faith in some in the local authorities a little bit." Ipswich Waterfront has three entrances accessible by cars, of which the other two have retractable bollards that fill the whole width of the road. The bollards at the other end of Helena Road, near the University of Suffolk (Image: Oli Picton) One idea to solve the issue of noise and anti-social behaviour from the residents is to install a permanent fixture across the road, which would allow goods vehicles to come down the road from towards the University of Suffolk. The residents said: "It seems to us such a simple issue to solve and we know it will cost to put something in place. "That being said, there are over 300 residents around this area and we all pay a considerable amount of council tax, which seems to go up all the time, and in return we are seemingly getting worse services." Ward councillor Cathy Frost has raised the matter with highways to ensure work will be done to replace the bollards. She said: "We understand there has been a delay. I've also talked to the police about and they have asked for additional road signs."Romas perform fire rituals at Lokmanthan

U.S. futures were lower while oil prices were little changed. In Asia, South Korea’s Kospi added 0.6% to 2,418.80. But shares of Jeju Air Co. lost 8.8% after one of the company’s jets skidded off a runway , slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames Sunday in South Korea as its landing gear failed to deploy. 179 people died in the crash. Political turmoil continued as South Korean law enforcement officials requested a court warrant on Monday to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. They are investigating whether his martial law decree on Dec. 3 amounted to rebellion. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index lost 0.9% to 39,914.21 as the dollar gained against the Japanese yen, trading at 157.83 yen, up from 157.75 yen. The Tokyo market will wrap up trading for 2024 with a yearend ceremony as Japan begins its New Year holidays, the biggest festival of the year. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong shed 0.3% to 20,030.63 while the Shanghai Composite index was up 0.3% at 3,408.72. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 dipped 0.9% to 8,191.50. On Friday, the S&P 500 fell 1.1% to 5,970.84. Roughly 90% of stocks in the benchmark index lost ground, but it managed to hold onto a modest gain of 0.7% for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.8% to 42,992.21. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite fell 1.5%, to 19,722.03. The losses were made worse by sharp declines for the Big Tech stocks known as the “Magnificent 7”, which can heavily influence the direction of the market because of their large size. A wide range of retailers also fell. Amazon fell 1.5% and Best Buy slipped 1.5%. The sector is being closely watched for clues on how it performed during the holiday shopping season. The S&P 500 gained nearly 3% over a 3-day stretch before breaking for the Christmas holiday. On Thursday, the index posted a small decline. Despite Friday's drop, the market is moving closer to another standout annual finish . The S&P 500 is on track for a gain of around 25% in 2024. That would mark a second consecutive yearly gain of more than 20%, the first time that has happened since 1997-1998. The gains have been driven partly by upbeat economic data showing that consumers continued spending and the labor market remained strong. Inflation, while still high, has also been steadily easing. A report on Friday showed that sales and inventory estimates for the wholesales trade industry fell 0.2% in November, following a slight gain in October. That weaker-than-expected report follows an update on the labor market Thursday that showed unemployment benefits held steady last week. The stream of upbeat economic data and easing inflation helped prompt a reversal in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy this year. Expectations for interest rate cuts also helped drive market gains. The central bank recently delivered its third cut to interest rates in 2024. Even though inflation has come closer to the central bank's target of 2%, it remains stubbornly above that mark and worries about it heating up again have tempered the forecast for more interest rate cuts. Inflation concerns have added to uncertainties heading into 2025, which include the labor market’s path ahead and shifting economic policies under incoming President Donald Trump. Worries have risen that Trump’s preference for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation , a bigger U.S. government debt and difficulties for global trade. In other dealings early Monday, U.S. benchmark crude oil picked up 1 cent to $70.61 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, lost 1 cent to $73.78 per barrel.

SAN DIEGO , Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BSD Builders, Inc., a general contractor specializing in healthcare construction, has announced a strategic partnership with 2G Energy Inc., a pioneer in energy systems, including cogeneration. The collaboration will focus on designing and deploying cutting-edge microgrid solutions to enhance energy resilience, sustainability, and efficiency for commercial building clients. The partnership was formed in response to the challenges faced by skilled nursing facilities during the California wildfires of 2018 and 2020. Utility companies initiated Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during dangerous weather conditions, forcing facilities to evacuate patients. "After several of our skilled nursing clients were impacted by California wildfires, we worked on a solution to provide an alternative source of power so the lives of their vulnerable residents would not be at risk," explained Jeff Blair , CEO of BSD Builders, Inc. "We reached out to several energy infrastructure companies to support this initiative and were surprised that there was little interest. When we connected with the team at 2G Energy, Inc., they were not only amenable but enthusiastic to help find a way to help protect patients' health and safety." In 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom passed legislation requiring skilled nursing facilities to maintain at least 96 hours of backup power. The BSD SSC Microgrid solution was developed not only to help skilled nursing facilities meet this new mandate but also to provide any building with a reliable and efficient source of power during outages. It was designed to withstand hurricane wind loads up to 150 mph and has been seismically certified (California OSHPD/HCAi OSP-0826). "Partnering with BSD Builders allows us to bring microgrid technology to people who need it most," said Darren Jamison , Managing Director of 2G Energy North America. "Microgrids are crucial for both enhancing energy security and reducing carbon footprints, and we are thrilled to collaborate on projects that not only drive innovation but also promote a more sustainable energy future." The first projects under the partnership are expected to be deployed in California , with plans to expand to additional markets in the coming months. The partnership underscores both companies' commitment to sustainability and their shared vision of reshaping the future of energy.

But taking time off, making it to the gym three times a week and practicing meditation can feel like a tall ask for a busy entrepreneur. So, you find what works. Maybe it's not a 5 am wakeup and cardio workout every day, but a weekly Pilates class to keep you sane. Or perhaps you're better fueled by time with friends than a meditative session. Here are my tips for improving your routine as an entrepreneur and striking a balance between rest and business success. Related: Is it Possible to Balance a Career and Personal Wellness? 26 Entrepreneurs Share Their Own Tips Plan breaks throughout the day They say that sitting is the silent killer — our sedentary lifestyles bring multiple risk factors and implications for our health. While regular exercise is the goal, taking intermittent breaks throughout the day to stand and stretch will help mitigate these risks, at a minimum. Health professionals recommend taking a break for 5-10 minutes for every hour spent at your workstation. Stand up, walk around, change position, etc. It also helps to incorporate back, neck, hip and hand stretches into your routine as well. Another common ailment experienced by us computer warriors is eye strain. Practice the 20-20-20 Rule to relieve stress on the eyes. Use blue light filter glasses to reduce eye strain, improve mental health and support a healthy sleep pattern. These small yet mighty improvements ensure you make the most of your short breaks throughout the day, improving your physical and mental health and preventing future postural, muscular and ocular issues. Don't cheat your out-of-office days Do you fully " unplug " when you take time off? When it comes to out-of-office days, it's important to give your mind (and laptop) a break. That means no checking Slack messages, no attending to emails and no answering of panicked client calls (unless absolutely necessary). Have I always signed off during my vacation days? No — guilty as charged. But as I have come to recognize the importance of time with family (for my and their sake), I see this "off the radar" approach as essential. Today, this is a huge privilege, given the support of my team, but even when I was a solo entrepreneur, I found ways to sign off, even if only for a day or so. Don't cheat yourself out of time off. If your business structure and capacity allow, keep yourself accountable for taking a real vacation , turning off your notifications and deferring business to another day. Chances are, all will be well once you return. Related: 9 Things to Do to Have a Work-Free Vacation (Infographic) Know your "must haves" versus "nice to haves" Most entrepreneurs are creative thinkers. We are the "big ideas" people of the world. This makes us prone to getting distracted by the next shiny object , directing our attention away from our most important priorities and goals. The result of pursuing these "nice to have" ideas is overwhelm, lost investments and burnout. When we pursue new ideas without clarity and intention, our priorities become muddled, and we have less space in our day for planning and rest. I am particularly guilty of this — which is why I have my "no" person (my COO). He keeps my ideas in check, helping me establish my "must haves" versus my "nice to haves." Not only does this help keep my company on track, but it also ensures that I spend my productive time on critical tasks while allowing enough time for rest. Find the activities that feed you Many guides on how to strike a work-life balance simply don't resonate with my unique interests and goals. For example, I'm not a cold plunge, morning meditation or yoga person. But I do find that time with my family feeds me more than anything. I appreciate traveling, meeting new people and going out to tasty restaurants. The key to balancing your routine is to find what feeds YOU. For you, that might be morning walks, playing with your dog, hitting the pickleball court or hitting up friends for Happy Hour. Identify the activities that best support your physical, social and emotional health, and make time for these. Traditional advice would have you believe that you need to structure your day a certain way — e.g., early morning wakeup, workout routine, time blocking, etc. In reality, everyone operates differently. Find the things that fuel you, structure your day in a way that makes you feel productive yet rejuvenated, and schedule time for the things that feed your soul.

Here are 10 Hacks I Use To Actually Enjoy My Life Recognize the early signs of burnout Like a thief in the night, burnout creeps up on you when you least expect it. It may feel like one month, you're on top of your game, then all of a sudden, you're a couch potato with barely enough will to make it to the fridge for a soda. The objective is to not let it get to this point, but that requires the ability to detect the signs of burnout early on. This can look different for different people, but generally, the signs of burnout include constant fatigue (that doesn't improve with rest), a struggle to stay focused and motivated, feeling more irritable and overwhelmed than usual, withdrawing from social interactions and inexplicable health issues. Basically, if you feel "weird" and aren't sure why, burnout might be right around the corner. The good news is that if you catch these signs early, you'll be better able to mitigate the damage. You might need to pare down your schedule, slot more breaks into your day, vent to a friend or book a vacation. Resist the urge to power through; the mental and physical implications of burnout are no fun!
