Marylanders Asked to Report ‘Cold-Stunning’ of Sea Creatures Maryland Department of Natural Resources and National Aquarium staff returned three sea turtles to the Atlantic Ocean in September 2020, after months of rehabilitating the animals from near-fatal cold-stunning. Maryland DNR photo. As soon as water temperatures dip in the fall, sea turtles and some marine mammals that frequent the Chesapeake Bay are susceptible to cold-stunning or hypothermia. The immediate impacts can cause some species to become slow and unresponsive, making them dangerous to themselves and boaters. Cold-stunning can also be lethal to marine mammals such as Florida manatees. While rare, some manatees will trek northward into the Chesapeake Bay during the summer months and stay until fall. As with sea turtles, cold snaps can cause severe hypothermia in manatees. Last year alone, marine animal rescue organizations responded to nearly 1,000 cold-stunned animals along the East Coast. Anyone who sees an unresponsive... Read more →

Theoretically, you don’t need any apps on your phone except the phone app. But, in today’s world it is hard to imagine communicating and functioning without access to at least email on your phone. But, to know which apps you need, you will need to figure out also what type of user you are. We can divide all smartphone users into three distinct categories: Casual users Business users Media consumers And, none of these are less legitimate than the other. While usually young people fall into the third category, there are a lot of adult folk who use smartphones for things like online casino USA games, or other casual media and entertainment. And, to be fair, there are some social media platforms that are used for both business and media consumption. Apps like Facebook have both the commercial and the user side and the experience of these two types of... Read more →

I'm sorry I didn't know about the Gloucester City Council meeting in time so I wasn't able to attend. GLOUCESTER CITY NEWS BLOG EST 2006 Concerning a vehicle for the Housing Department - years ago I was married to a Construction Official. He used his own vehicle and was re-imbursed for mileage. Later, he was given an old police car which had already been fully depreciated. No new vehicle because there was no need. I have been making subtle hints such as "we need to get adults to run the city" and "I'd hate to see the State of NJ take over the city as they did in Camden and Atlantic City." Now I think we're at the point where we have to seriously consider this alternative. I did some research. The State Legislature has to approve the takeover. If they don't? That would make public what we all know... Read more →

(Camden City, NJ) – The Board of Commissioners is proud to announce the purchase of 300 tablets that will be used for face-to-face case management and to combat social isolation with the senior community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Camden County Division of Senior Services noticed an increase in social insolation in the vulnerable senior population due to mandated social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus. Case management has had to be carried out telephonically and all spaces to meet have been closed, which has created a barrier between assessors and seniors. “Community engagement and socialization are the most important aspects of the congregate nutrition sites,” said Commissioner Carmen Rodriguez, liaison to the Camden County Health Department. “Because of the pandemic, we’ve had to facilitate our social services from a distance and unfortunately, this has resulted in further isolation among our seniors.” The Senior Friendly tablets will offer...

Six-time Emmy Award-winning actor Alan Alda is most likely best known for playing an Army field surgeon, Capt. Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce, in the TV series M*A*S*H, which aired on CBS from 1972 to 1983. It's often noted that the series lasted longer than the war itself.

“America Fest 2021” The Phoenix Convention Center By Marc Ang As Turning Point USA’s America Fest 2021 gathered in Downtown Phoenix at the Convention Center, there was an air that was different. It wasn’t just the sheer number of patriots gathered in one spot, just days before Christmas, but it was the amount of youth engaged. The common theme was a rebellious rugged individualistic energy that was not married to a political party, but instead, a political movement. But it was also families with a strong conservativem common sense bent. For the first time, values were in the forefront over political personalities.

FAIR LAWN – Wednesday, December 22, Nick De Gregorio, a Marine Veteran and Republican Candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s Fifth Congressional District, released the following statement in response to the newly-drawn New Jersey Congressional map: “With President Biden’s approval tanking and inflation on the rise, Josh Gottheimer had no choice but to beg his allies on the Redistricting Commission to bail him out with a grossly gerrymandered map,” said De Gregorio. “But if Gottheimer and his cronies thought they could intimidate me from running, they were dead wrong. I am running, and I will win. “The Democrats’ radical agenda of higher taxes, reckless spending, defunding the police, and silencing parents will not succeed anywhere in America—and least of all in a district that saw Jack Ciattarelli run neck-and-neck with Phil Murphy despite being massively outspent. “Home is always worth defending.

“Open The Books” Sues Controller Betty Yee To Open The CA Checkbook By Marc Ang As we approach the end of 2021, California’s problems have become an embarrassing example of failure in management from the supply chain crisis to high rates of COVID despite draconian measures up and down the state on masks and vaccines. However, one topic that hardly got mentioned this year was the lack of transparency around California’s spending. As of today, California remains the only state in the Union that does not have transparent spending reports. Adam Andrzejewski, founder of Open The Books, hopes to change this through his lawsuit against California Controller Betty Yee. Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution, states that “a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.” Adam believes that with the age of the Internet, there...

TurfMutt Foundation Predicts Americans Will Continue to Expand Outdoor Living People are expecting to spend more time than ever in their backyards in the coming year. (NAPSI)—“Backyarding”—the trend to move indoor activities outdoors that was made popular during the pandemic —is here to stay and will continue to expand in 2022, according to the TurfMutt Foundation, an environmental education and stewardship program that encourages outdoor living and caring for green spaces. “Backyarding is a way of life now,” says Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Foundation and its parent organization, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI). “Homeowners spent lots of time, money and effort over the last eighteen months improving their backyards to make them an extension of their homes so they could work, cook, exercise and even vacation outdoors. We believe people will continue to ‘backyard more’ in the coming year and beyond.” The TurfMutt Foundation predicts the... Read more →

This Santa Hat Martini can help you make holiday wishes for a great party drink come true. (NAPSAI)—After the last year or so, many people are anxious to get back into the social swing. To help, here are 6 entertaining ideas that can mean more fun for you and your friends: How To Have A Great Party 1.Think about your guest list: You want people who are compatible, but that doesn’t have to mean they all know each other.

Fire pits, blankets and heat lamps can help. 3.Thoughts for food: Plan a menu... Read more →
