Cooks Who Feed is giving people a simple way to take on world hunger this holiday season TORONTO, Canada – (October 27, 2020) – Everyone has food waste, even if we try to be mindful about our purchases and how much we are preparing. While we may all account for a little here and there, it adds up to a lot of wasted food. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s estimated that 30-40 percent of our nation’s food supply is wasted. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization estimates that over 800 million people per year around the world do not have enough to eat. One organization, Cooks Who Feed, is taking on the mission of helping to feed the people who need it most. “When I realized the facts surrounding food waste and world hunger, I felt I had to do something about it,” explains Seema Sanghavi, founder of...

(Gloucestercitynews.net)(October 28, 2020)--The 2020 Major League Baseball regular season and ongoing playoffs are packed with overseas talent. But let’s be more precise. Actually, players from the Latin American nations dominate international players in the league. And it isn’t a novelty. For example, in 2019, MLB registered 485 Latin American players in Spring Training. This season, of 300 players named on opening day rosters, 108 or 36% were from abroad. Yes, North America, South America, Asia, and Europe are all represented. However, it’s the Latin American nations that stand out. The country with most players, not counting US citizens, currently in MLB is the Dominican Republic, with 35, which makes 11.6% of opening day lineups. In a close second is Venezuela, with 31 players or 10.3%. Puerto Rico and Cuba have double figures as well, 12 (4%) and 11 (3.7%) respectively. As for other countries located in the Latin American region,... Read more →

(Gloucestercitynews.net)(October 28, 2020)--One size does not fit all. This saying holds in various aspects, including medicine and treatment techniques. The human body and its working vary from person to person, and so does the causes of injury. As a result, one cannot use the same treatment type on all the people suffering from a common disease. The proper understanding of this approach has given rise to personalized medicine and thera-diagnostics to cure diseases. Back pain is one of the common illnesses, and usually, people try to reach out for products that will provide them relief, such as painkillers, injectable medications, and more. Experts state that back pain is the leading cause of disability throughout the world. In light of this, the back pain scenario needs innovative methods to treat, one of them being chiropractic care. The treatment methods are, therefore, different for every individual, although it follows a common approach.... Read more →

By Paul Bechtel Fisheries Wildlife Worker Bureau of Marine Fisheries October 22, 2020 There are few things that are better in life than the feeling of reeling in what could be a trophy fish. As many saltwater anglers know all too well, there is more to fishing than just simply throwing out a line with a prayer. Whether you are a saltwater angling pro or simply a beginner, everyone can benefit from a few insider tips. First, let's start with the basics.

(Gloucestercitynews.net)(October 26, 2020)--The New Jersey Business & Industry Association testified in support of legislation that aims to avoid a massive spike in unemployment insurance (UI) payroll taxes in 2021 by way of more manageable payroll tax increases protracted over three years. NJBIA Vice President of Government Affairs Christopher Emigholz told the Assembly Appropriations Committee in written testimony today that bill A-4853 would ease an impending $1 billion payroll tax increase by addressing both the business-specific experience rating and the rates driven by the overall health of the fund. Emigholz said, without this legislation becoming law, “the payroll tax increase would penalize struggling employers who had layoffs that were beyond their control during the pandemic.” “Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that a payroll tax increase is potentially worse than other taxes because it is based on jobs,” he said. New Jersey businesses are facing a looming increase in... Read more →

Do you remember the cap guns? These real looking guns used to come with space where you could fit the rolls of paper strip caps. As a kid, it was the dream for most of us to play fight with the help of these cap guns. If you think carefully, the Gearup Airsoft in Toronto guns are nothing but a more mature version of such guns.

Talk to your clinician to make sure you are up to date on these and other recommended vaccines. Each year in the United States, pneumococcal disease kills thousands of adults.

About 55 tons – enough to fill four construction dumpsters – had been successfully recovered through Sunday afternoon under the unified command of the United States Coast Guard and Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. “The job of removing oil from our beaches is challenging and labor-intensive, but we’re making progress,” said DNREC Secretary Shawn Garvin. “Our teams are getting more and more of it off our beaches every day.” More than 100 personnel have been engaged in the cleanup operation daily over most of the last week, working where needed along the Delaware coastline.

Eric Peterson / The Pelican Institute Oct 23, 2020 This week, Attorney General Bill Barr joined attorneys general from 11 other states, including Louisiana, in releasing their much-anticipated antitrust lawsuit against Google. The 64-page lawsuit lays out a series of claims against Google for its alleged violation of American antitrust laws. The central claim asserts that Google has a monopoly on general internet searches, resulting in higher ad prices and a worse consumer experience. This complaint and others in the lawsuit require some skepticism. One example of the core complaint not meshing with reality is the fact that online ad prices have declined by 40 percent over the last decade, while prices in other forms of advertising have increased. These sorts of flawed assertions combined with partisan statements signal that perhaps politics, not consumer welfare, seems to be a driving factor for this investigation. Antitrust laws have a long but... Read more →

An Artic blast—the most significant of the season—is poised to send temperatures plunging in much of the western and central U.S. this week. As the icy air mass settles and possible rounds of snow fall across parts of the Upper Midwest, veterinarians at BluePearl Specialty and Emergency Pet Hospital are advising pet owners to take extra precautions to help keep their furry companions safe. “Many people think that dogs and cats’ fur make them more resistant to cold weather, but that is not necessarily true. Cold tolerance can vary based on a pet’s breed, age, body fat percentage, activity level, and overall health,” remarked Harry Weatherson, DVM, BVetMed, MRCVS, Emergency Medicine, BluePearl in NYC. “While huskies are bred for colder climates and are therefore more tolerant of cold weather, most dog and cats are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia if left outside in cold weather for a long period of...

By Todd DeFeo | The Center Square (The Center Square) – Republicans on the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee want to know whether Amtrak gave Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden special treatment. In a letter to Amtrak President and Chief Executive Officer William Flynn, the lawmakers ask whether the former vice president’s use of a chartered Amtrak train for a recent campaign trip disrupted Amtrak service or interfered with freight train operations. They also want to know how many employees were “taken off their regular duties to staff the Biden campaign charter train, including any overtime hours worked.” “We are concerned that the Biden campaign’s use of Amtrak’s charter train redirected Amtrak’s scarce resources during a time of record losses, employee layoffs, and service cuts during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the lawmakers wrote. “We are concerned that the apparent use of a struggling, resource-deprived, publicly-run service for political gain does...

Judicial Watch Statement on Ninth Circuit Decision Regarding Appeals Court overturns trial court and finds VA police officers entitled to ‘qualified immunity’ (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued the following statement in response to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision granting qualified immunity to VA police officers who twice arrested Robert L.

This letter is to everyone in Gloucester City and Brooklawn. Has anyone notices these towns are turning into another Camden? The houses are not taken care of. The streets are falling apart.

We have 2 trailer parks and 2 over 55 Apartment buildings. This should suffice for our low income housing. Yet, the Mayor, Mr Spencer, and his constituents do want to do anything to change this.
