“In Africa, the tradition is when your elder tells you to do something you don't ask questions. You just follow whatever they tell you and you say OK,” Adamma explained. “Adamma” remembers the day she landed in the United States after being taken from her native country of Togo: “It was January 25, 2006, at 3:55 (p.m.). That was the worst day of my life.” Having landed in Detroit in the middle of winter, Adamma and the three other children from Togo she traveled with were not prepared: “We didn’t have boots or coats. It was so cold. No one really told us we should have all these prior to coming,” she said. What she also wasn’t prepared for was the physical and emotional abuse, the extreme rationing of food and the isolation. Adamma left Togo for the U.S. with little information as to why she was going. It started with a whole year of “practicing” being a family with a couple introduced to her by her father. “Adamma”, “Mandla”, “Fatima” and “Thulani” were brought into the U.S. carrying passports with false names and dates of birth which claimed they were the biological children of a man who was a...

Chris Deluzio, D-Pa. Environmental Protection Agency; House.gov (The Center Square) – Pennsylvania Rep. Chris Deluzio joined Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey to introduce the All Aboard Act, a bill that would invest $200 billion in national railway infrastructure over the next five years. The proposal would fund high speed rail, as well as expansion and improvement of existing tracks. It allocates funds toward electrification, safety, labor protections and rail worker training programs. “The American people ought to have a rail system that is safe, gets folks quickly where they want to go, and keeps the economy moving — all while slashing road traffic,” said Deluzio, a Democrat who just won his second term in November representing the 17th congressional district in southwestern Pennsylvania. The largest part of the bill’s price tag goes towards the future of passenger trains. It provides $80 billion to the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail, $30 billion to the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure Safety Improvement program, $30 billion for Amtrak, and $10 billion for the...

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square contributor Jan 21, 2025 (The Center Square) – Of the many executive orders and proclamations President Donald Trump signed on Monday, one renames two geographical locations, Mount McKinley and Gulf of America. In an executive order, “Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness,” Trump states, “It is in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation and ensure future generations of American citizens celebrate the legacy of our American heroes. The naming of our national treasures, including breathtaking natural wonders and historic works of art, should honor the contributions of visionary and patriotic Americans in our Nation’s rich past.” The order directs new members of the U.S. Board of Geographic Names (BGN) to be appointed and for the Secretary of the Interior to review and consider additional appointments. Once there is a new board, the order directs its members to “honor the contributions of visionary and patriotic Americans” and provide a guidance to Congress if a new law is required to rename geographic entities. The order instructs that the highest mountain in the U.S. in Alaska be restored to its original 1917 name, Mount McKinley, in honor of the 15th president... Read more →

I am reaching out personally about the ongoing problems with Atlantic City Electric (ACE) utility billing. I know how frustrating this situation has been, and I want you to know that I am fully committed to helping however I can. To be clear, utility regulation falls under the state government's responsibility. The Governor and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) should have stepped up to fix this by now. Unfortunately, no meaningful action, whether through legislation or regulation, has been taken at the state level to address the problem. That said, I am not the kind of elected official to pass this off just because it is not a federal issue. My office is working with the Federal Energy and Regulatory Commission (FERC) to push for solutions, even though this is a state issue at its core. I am also reintroducing federal legislation to help prevent these kinds of problems from happening in the future. If you have not heard directly from ACE yet or are still dealing with unresolved issues, please take a moment to fill out this form here. I am not going to stop fighting for you until this is resolved and everyone affected gets... Read more →

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews photo credit John Bottinger Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (January 23, 2025)--– A remarkable and record-breaking snowstorm swept through Myrtle Beach, transforming the coastal landscape between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning (January 22 through January 23, 2025). Residents awoke to a stunning blanket of over five inches of snow, creating a winter wonderland in an area typically known for its sandy shores. Jack Bottinger said his son John has lived in Myrtle Beach for 25 years. "He has not seen a snowstorm this size before last night. We have 5 inches, and to a city without a lick of snow removal equipment, that's a big problem."

WEST WILDWOOD, NJ – January 21, 2025 – In response to the absence of the West Wildwood Police Department’s Chief of Police, who is currently on a leave of absence pending retirement, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office has appointed a monitor to oversee operations at the department.

NJ Sierra Club Reacts to Trump’s Offshore Wind Executive Order Trenton, New Jersey - On the first day of his Presidency, Donald Trump announced he is halting development of all offshore wind projects across the United States. Right now, there are enough offshore wind projects in development in the United States to power over six million homes once completed. Currently in New Jersey, our state has been leading the way towards a responsible transition to clean energy and the creation of the offshore wind industry. Governor Murphy established goals to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2035, which would include 11,000 MW of responsibly developed offshore wind power by 2040. Additionally, our state is home to the New Jersey Wind Port, a first-of-its-kind facility that would employ hundreds of New Jerseyans in South Jersey. The first wind project expected to become operable off of New Jersey’s coast is the Atlantic Shores project, located 10-20 miles off of Atlantic City with the potential to power 700,000 homes. The project is projected to create $1.9 billion in economic benefits for the state and nearly 50,000 jobs. The Atlantic Shores project has already received all required Federal permitting, but at this moment it remains... Read more →

Newswise — ROCHESTER, Minnesota — Throat cancer is one of the fastest-growing cancers, and it is often linked to human papillomavirus (HPV). Oropharyngeal cancer, or throat cancer, is a type of head and neck cancer that can be divided into two subgroups: HPV-associated cancers and non-HPV-associated cancers. And depending on the type of subgroup, they are treated differently.  Katharine Price, M.D., a medical oncologist with the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center in Rochester, says there are three ways to reduce your risks and help prevent head and neck cancer. Tobacco and alcohol use increase the risk of non-HPV tumors, while HPV is responsible for about 70% of head and neck cancers. "What's important about that is they have different biology and are much more treatable, meaning they respond better to treatments and tend to have a higher cure rate. We're sort of treating those differently than how we treat some of the non-HPV cancers," Dr. Price says. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are all treatment options, but Dr. Price says it is better to reduce the risks of infection. "The big three: no smoking tobacco use, minimizing alcohol and then HPV vaccination," she says. "We know that smoking and alcohol are... Read more →

Financial emergencies can strike at any time—unexpected medical bills, car repairs, or even a sudden job loss. Having an emergency fund in place provides a crucial safety net that allows you to navigate these challenges without resorting to high-interest debt or drastically disrupting your life. Here’s why an emergency fund is essential and how to begin creating one today. 1. What Is an Emergency Fund? An emergency fund is a dedicated pool of savings set aside specifically for unplanned expenses or financial emergencies. Unlike a general savings account or a vacation fund, this money is earmarked solely for urgent situations that could otherwise derail your financial stability. Key Benefits of an Emergency Fund: Protects you from incurring high-interest debt Helps maintain your current lifestyle during income disruptions Reduces financial stress and anxiety 2. Why You Need an Emergency Fund Life is unpredictable, and without a financial cushion, even minor setbacks can lead to serious financial trouble. Here are some common scenarios where an emergency fund can make a significant difference: Job Loss: It can take weeks or months to find new employment, and having a reserve can help cover living expenses until you’re back on your feet.

A zoomed-out shot of Atlantic City - Free Stock Image Atlantic City’s casinos endured a tough year in 2024, marked by a significant decline in operating profits during the third quarter. Compared to the same period in 2023, profits dropped by nearly 14%, with the nine casinos collectively reporting earnings of $236.5 million. Caesars and Hard Rock were exceptions, managing slight profit increases despite the overall downward trend. The industry's challenges stemmed from several factors, with economic conditions playing a major role. High inflation throughout 2024 tightened household budgets, leading many consumers to cut back on discretionary spending. Gambling, often considered a luxury, saw reduced in-person participation as visitors opted to save money. At the same time, New Jersey’s online gambling sector continued to grow, setting a record in November 2024 by generating over $214 million in revenue. While this underscores the industry's capacity for adaptation, the success of online platforms has further impacted foot traffic and revenue at physical casinos. Many of the best online casinos continue to drive the shift toward increased online gambling activity by offering players enticing benefits, such as enhanced anonymity, robust safety measures, convenience through no KYC procedures, faster withdrawal speeds, and support for...
