So, yeah, there will be a — there will be a battery component in many of the selected applicants here. With the help of selected applicant Capital Good Fund’s Georgia BRIGHT leasing program, they were able to install a 13-kilowatt solar and 10-kilowatt-hour battery system in their home last February, which provided them with backup power for two days after a major storm last year. This historic investment will generate more than $8 billion in savings on electric bills for the o- (audio drops) households over the entire life of the program. These special areas, including lands in and around Teshekpuk Lake and Colville River, are a rugged and wild landscape that provides undisturbed habitat for wildlife, including grizzly and polar bears, caribou, and hundreds of thousands of migratory birds. As of today, President Biden has conserved more than 41 million acres of lands and waters in just over three years. And he is on track to conserve more lands and waters than any president in history.

District Attorney Gascón Announces Charges Against Man in Break-in of Mayor Karen Bass’ Getty House Residence in L.A.

In my opinion, having abortion policy decided at a national level to create transparency and unity on human rights in all 50 states is ideal. Lawmakers need to make law that is clear, transparent, and fair to all Americans regardless of race, religion, or personal beliefs. We need to instill responsibility in our society and set consequences for those who abuse the system. To help unite America once and for all, I would support pro-choice national legislation only if it was very clear on when a women can or cannot have an abortion and very clear on how that abortion occurs.

We need to allow the building of more dams and reservoirs to irrigate our crops and water our livestock. We need to build feed lots and slaughterhouses to feed our communities with local meat, we need to build our own fertilizer production facility, we need to keep families on family farms, and we need to create quality paying jobs in our rural communities. The 60 selected applicants include 49 state-level awards totaling approximately $5.5 billion.

John Driscoll wants to make Congress work again

John and Ruth Sowden commissioned the help of their friend Lloyd Wright (son of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright) to construct a magnificent mansion that would become an iconic landmark for years to come. Other acclaimed properties designed by the Wrights include the Ennis House and the Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, but none are nearly as famous as the Sowden House. The alleged killer taunted investigators with menacing phone calls and by mailing them a package of Short’s personal belongings. The murderer was thorough in covering his tracks and never left fingerprints on any of the evidence, making it more difficult to figure out his identity.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul visited Columbia's campus Monday morning to meet with leadership and discuss the recent demonstrations. During their time on the Upper East Side, the Roosevelts also became actively involved with their neighbor, Hunter College. In October 1940, President Roosevelt dedicated the new Hunter building, constructed with WPA funds, on Park Avenue. Whenever she was in town, Eleanor would often walk over to visit with students and speak at special events, a relationship that would endure for more than 20 years, ending only with her death in 1962. When Sara died in September 1941, the family put the double house up for sale.

A nonprofit consortium, organized on behalf of Hunter student groups, agreed to buy it. Notably, President Roosevelt lowered the price to make the building more affordable and even donated $1,000 to fund the purchase of books for a new student library. Other buildings on the campus in Arcata are at risk of being occupied, and protesters “have shown a willingness” to lock themselves in facilities and steal equipment, the officials said. Negotiations between protesters and Columbia University officials about clearing the encampment on its lawn that had been extended for 48 hours have been “unstable," said Esha Karam, managing director of Columbia Daily Spectator, citing student organizers.

Antisemitism and safety concerns

Since agricultural commodities are America’s largest export trade, other countries will impose retaliatory tariffs to hurt the American farmer. As other countries impose tariffs, farmers have no choice but to discount the commodities to be competitive in the world market. For example, in 2018, our administration imposed a tariff on steal and aluminum imports, as a retaliatory response, foreign governments imposed a retaliatory tariff on our agricultural commodities resulting in an estimated $13.2 billion annual loss to our agricultural industry. Other tariffs can be imposed by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and all tariffs can be accumulative, causing more consequences to ag exportation.

Me, being a pharmacist, I've been highly involved in the state of health care in the last 15 years I’ve been a pharmacist, but the last three years pretty heavily in Yellowstone County, providing pharmacy services and understanding health care. Austin’s campaign finances don’t register, which is to say he’s neither spent, nor raised, the minimum $5,000 at which candidates must report their finances to the Federal Election Commission. The best funded candidates in the Republican primary, current Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen, and current State Auditor Troy Downing, have amassed $799,000 or more. Rosendale didn’t bother to participate in the primaries that were broadcast on radio and featured the other Republicans marking arguments that didn’t land with voters.

We need to create an offender registry for each abortion and create very clear consequences for people who are not responsible. The legislation also needs to clearly prohibit abortion as a form of birth control. So, we’re seeing the visible difference manifest in communities, in people’s pocketbooks all across the country. And the President and his senior team is going to keep telling that story because — because it’s good news that begets more action, more upside for the American people. And — and you better believe that the 900,000 households that will benefit from Solar for All — and someone asked about the Texas footprint of that program, where the AFL-CIO is part of building out the capacity to install that solar — people are going to feel it.

NEW YORK -- Columbia University switched to remote learning Monday, as pro-Palestinian protests entered their sixth day on the school's campus in New York City. The most controversial inhabitant of The Sowden House was Dr. George Hodel, a prominent gynecologist who lived in the home from 1945 until fleeing the country in 1950. Hodel was accused of doing a long list of sinister acts inside the confines of the Sowden mansion. Most notably, Hodel was the prime suspect of the 1949 murder of Elizabeth Short, also referred to as The Black Dahlia, and name the media used that quickly caught on. Although he was never convicted, there has been substantial evidence pointing to his guilt in the horrific crime, as well as many other murders in the area at the time. John Sowden was a retired painter and photographer who wanted to build a home where he and his wife Ruth could entertain guests by throwing parties and putting on amateur theatrical displays.

There were various suspects and false confessions to being the Black Dahlia murderer over the years, but none were deemed credible. It wasn’t until decades later that Dr. George Hodel was even considered a suspect, although he was never formally charged with the crime. Due to its reputation in the media, Sowden House Los Feliz has become quite a tourist spot for those who visit California. The house was also featured in the television series about the Black Dahlia murder, I Am The Night, starring Chris Pine.

So, we’ve, I think, taken it — taken climate on with the sense of urgency and the — and the recognition of the stakes. And I think the President continues to direct his team to look at all tools, all authorities that will help us move forward on this objective, both of tackling the crisis and of unlocking the economic opportunity that comes with it. We will also announce that we’ve finalized rulemaking that creates a streamlined and accelerated path for American Climate Corps members who want to join federal service. Brenda talked about the 41 million acres that the President has added into conservation. Whether it’s park service members or forest rangers, the next generation of those employees can be sourced in the American Climate Corps. So, for young people of all backgrounds — no matter their qualification, no matter their zip code — there will now be pathways and positions that they can fill that help them gain the skills to succeed in the clean energy economy.

A unique pattern of concrete blocks makes the distinct property stand out above the rest. Copper gates, an elaborate staircase, and an immaculate living room space are even more reason to be in awe of this house. The board said it is "urgently working" with Shafik to resolve the unrest on campus and "rebuild the bonds of our community." In an evening update, the Texas Department of Public Safety said that 34 arrests had been made by law enforcement on the campus as of 9 p.m. Graffiti described as “hateful” has been painted on campus, the officials said.

America needs to be self-efficient and not dependable on any foreign supplier. Currently, Beijing is not only the leader in the mining of rare earth minerals, but they are also the major refiner of these minerals. These minerals are the key to the future of our country and sustaining America as a world leader. “Agriculture is a huge part of Montana, as far as our industry, our backbone. And so having that background and knowing what farmers go through financially, how they work with the USDA, how they make their living, basically, they need someone that represents them in Congress,” Austin said.
