The largest #electric_school_bus #fleet in the US just #launched in #Maryland
#Montgomery_County_Public_Schools, one of the largest #school_districts in the #US, has deployed the single largest electric school bus fleet in the country.
Last school year, the school district saw the delivery of its first 25 #electric_buses and installed electric #infrastructure at one of its transportation depots.
It’s now added 61 more electric #buses to its fleet, for a total of 86.
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) will #replace 326 #diesel school buses with electric school buses by 2025, and it will have an entirely electric school bus fleet in 10 years.
Superintendent Dr. Monifa B. McKnight said at yesterday’s launch that, when procurement of the 326 electric buses is complete, “we are going to be #saving upwards of 6,500 #gallons of diesel #fuel per day, and immediately, this is going to cut costs by 50%.”
The Maryland school district held a #ribbon_cutting #ceremony yesterday at #Walter_Johnson High School in Bethesda with Highland Electric Fleets, which provides school bus fleet electrification-as-a-service.
Highland designs and organizes electric school bus projects for school districts; creates a subscription plan that includes buses, chargers, and depot improvements; and procures the electric school buses and manages the construction of depot upgrades within school districts.
Each school district gets to choose which make and model of electric school buses they want; Montgomery County has chosen all Thomas Built electric school buses. Some are Type C, with a 226 kWh standard battery capacity and a range of up to 138 miles, and some are Type A, which is a smaller bus.
Electric infrastructure will be installed at three more transportation depots.
Maryland House Delegate David Fraser-Hidalgo said:
Toxic pollutants can be as much as 2.5 times more prevalent inside a typical diesel school bus than inside an electric school bus.
Considering this, along with the carbon emissions caused by the 17,000 gallons of fuel that MCPS diesel buses use daily, electrifying our school bus fleets is an imperative public health, climate change, and environmental priority.
The state of Maryland’s Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022 requires all new school bus purchases and contracts to be electric by 2025.

The #Defense_Department has confirmed that #Leaked_Photos and video of "Unidentified?? Aerial Phenomena" taken in 2019 are indeed legitimate images of unexplained objects | Photos and videos of #triangle_shaped objects #blinking and moving through the #clouds were taken by Navy personnel, Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gough said in a statement to CNN.
She also confirmed that photos of three unidentified flying objects -- one "#sphere" shaped, another "#acorn" shaped and one characterized as a "#metallic_blimp" (aka #Survaillance_Blimp -- Yes we already have them..)
Military missiles and the warheads they can carry have become more and more dangerous as technology has advanced rapidly. The destructive power of today’s weapons is beyond imagination with weapons being 3000 times more powerful than the dropped on Japan in World II... and now the world has a new weapon to fear… _blimp -- yes we have them..) -- were also taken by Navy personnel.
"As we have said before, to maintain operations security and to avoid disclosing information that may be useful to potential adversaries, DOD does not discuss publicly the details of either the observations or the examinations of reported incursions into our training ranges or designated airspace, including those incursions initially designated as UAP," Gough said.

In a major #blow to #Americas_seafood_industry, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has, for the first time in state history, canceled the winter snow crab season in the #Bering_Sea due to their #falling_numbers. While restaurant menus will suffer, scientists worry what the sudden population plunge means for the health of the Arctic ecosystem.
An estimated one billion crabs have mysteriously disappeared in two years, state officials said. It marks a 90% drop in their population.

1 MILLION COVID DEATHS!
#REMEMBER??
#FLU_SHOT Season Around the corner?
Nearly #HALF of 3COVID-SURVIVORS haven't #recovered 6 #months #later, study finds
Study based on 96% #White_Population.
~SCOTTISH RESEARCHES TRACKED MORE THAN 33,000 PATIENTS OVER THE AGE OF 16 WITH..~
"Our study is important because it adds to our understanding of long-COVID in the general population, not just in those people who need to be #admitted to #hospital with COVID-19," lead author Jill Pell, a professor of public health at the University of Glasgow, said in a statement.
"By #comparing_symptoms with those #uninfected, we were able to distinguish between #health_problems that are due to COVID-19 and health problems that would have #happened_anyway," the statement continued.
Long COVID occurs when patients who have cleared the active infection still have symptoms lasting more than four weeks after recovering. In some cases, these symptoms can persist for months or even years.
Patients can experience a variety of lingering #symptoms including #fatigue, #difficulty_breathing, #headaches, #brain_fog, joint and #muscle_pain, and continued #loss of #taste and #smell, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
MORE: 'No man's land': Long COVID knocks young workers out of the job market
The authors mentioned some limitations including that most of the #participants were #white because the study was conducted in #Scotland, which has a 96% #white_population.
"Therefore, it is important that ethnic-specific outcomes are reported by other long-COVID studies with more ethnically diverse populations," the authors wrote.
Additionally, some of the common symptoms were also reported among a control group who had never tested positive for COVID. The symptoms that were most strongly associated with COVID infection were breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations and loss of taste and smell.

MEMORY LANE | #BRADENTON_HERALD | #LAKEWOOD_RANCH |
#Facing_criticism over the idea of #vaccinating some of #Manatee_County’s #wealthiest_residents ahead of everyone else??
Gov. #Ron_DeSantis #threatened to send future #pop_up #vaccination sites elsewhere.
Speaking at a Wednesday morning press conference at the temporary Premier Sports Campus drive-thru site, DeSantis argued that any additional shots for seniors are a benefit, noting that the 3,000 #shots #going_to #Lakewood_Ranch #residents are in addition to the county’s regular weekly allotment.
“If Manatee County doesn’t like us doing this, then we are totally fine putting this in counties that want it. We’re totally happy to do that,” DeSantis said. “Anyone that’s saying that, let us know if you want us to send it to Sarasota or Charlotte or Pasco or wherever, let us know — we’re happy to do it.”
“But I think most people — we have an opportunity to bring vaccine and do it efficiently — I think they’re going to want it,” he continued. “There’s folks that are going to complain about getting vaccines, I’ll tell you what, I’d be thankful because you know what? We didn’t need to do this at all. We saw a need and wanted to get the numbers up for seniors.”

#Ron_DeSantis #Threatens to #Pull #Vaccine from #FLORIDA. county that #accused him of favoring #Wealthy_Whites |
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis threatened to #divert coronavirus vaccine #doses from a county whose officials criticized him for opening a pop-up vaccination site limited to residents of an affluent, #mostly_white_community.
#Manatee_County_officials from #both_parties #criticized the #Republican_Governor after the state's #pop_up clinics in the #area were #limited to #two_zip_codes that are two of the #richest and #least_impacted in the #county, according to the #Bradenton_Herald.
Both zip codes are more than 90% #white with median incomes #over $100,000, according to #WTVT.
Manatee County #Commissioner #Vanessa_Baugh told the Herald that the clinics were set up in #Lakewood_Ranch and #other_wealthy_areas after DeSantis $spoke with Lakewood Ranch #developer #Rex_Jensen, a #campaign_donor.
"You're taking the #whitest_demographic and #richest_demographic in #Manatee County and putting them #before_everyone_else," County Commissioner Misty Servia, a Republican, said during a meeting this week.
"This is #bad for #all of #us, regardless of what district or population we represent because it makes our #system #look_bad," said #County_Commissioner #Reggie_Bellamy, a Democrat.

#Memory_Lane | This Republican Governor Just #Compared_Kids #Going_Back to #School to #Killing #Osama_Bin_Laden |
The First #Rule of #Politics has long been to #Never, Ever #Compare_Anything to #Nazi_Germany.
The #Murder of 6 million #Jews defies comparison. The second rule of politics -- or maybe just an #addendum to the first #rule -- should be:
Never compare anything to the #mission that #led to the #death of Osama_Bin_Laden. Updated 4:55 PM ET, Thu August 13, 2020
#Florida_Gov. #Ron_DeSantis (yes, him again) seemed to have #missed that #class in #politician_school.
But none of this is in any way #comparable to a group of #Navy_SEALs killing bin Laden. Like, at all.
I guess what DeSantis was going for was the idea that even after one of the helicopters crash-landed during the raid on bin Laden's compound, the SEAL team still kept going to finish their mission.
And so, even as there are all #sorts of #challenges to #Sending #Kids #back_to_school, #Florida is going to overcome those #obstacles to make sure #PARENTS have the #CHOICE between #In_person and #virtual_learning? I think?

#Square SELLS #ACCESS to your #INBOX. #No_one seems to #know if the #law cares.
When my work inbox got flooded with reminders of my most twee shopping habits, I found out the Block-owned service throws up obstacles to getting out of its marketing business.
When COVID-19 forced Compass Coffee to close down its Washington, D.C.–area shops, the roastery’s owners turned to email to stay in touch with customers. They knew just the tool: The company was already all in on Square. Compass co-founder Michael Haft had even taken a glass-blowing class from Jim McKelvey, who co-founded the service.
“It’s always just been a great point-of-sale system — very intuitive for our baristas, very easy for customers,” Haft said. To his delight, Haft discovered that Square also gave Compass the potential to reach out to both a small number of its most loyal customers as well as many, many would-be local coffee sippers. Now, he pays $200 per month for access to a list of at least 15,000 email addresses of his more casual customers in Square’s directory, he said, which is “absolutely” a huge multiple of the ones Compass collected itself.
I was speaking with Haft because I’ve been receiving Compass marketing messages at my work email address — as I have been from fruit stands, an artisanal butcher, and a cheesemonger, plus a Korean bowl spot I run to for dinner too often and the boutique where I bought a set of cloth napkins the color of autumn leaves last year. It’s a record of my bougiest shopping habits, and as marketing goes, most of the messages are more appealing than what I get from major mainstream retailers that don’t use Square.
Here’s the thing though: I can’t remember ever having checked out at any of these merchants using my work email address, much less using it to sign up for marketing. A search of my account didn’t turn up any records. Annoyed with the most insistent emailers, I reached out to the sellers who reached out to me — except, as a reporter rather than as a customer — to figure out what was going on.
I wanted to know how all these merchants had gotten my professional contact info. What I discovered was both unsurprising in today’s world of relentless online marketing and aggressive consumer data sharing, and also a bit disquieting. It also had less to do with these small shops than I might have expected: Square’s parent company, Block, was selling access to customers’ inboxes, even if all we do is elect to receive a receipt from a single transaction (more on that below).
Privacy experts said selling marketing information in this way clearly falls short of best privacy practices. And while it doesn’t appear to violate data protection laws, the practice is walking a fine line.
“They’re trying to solve for a lot of different nuances whilst trying to serve their objective and their merchant objective, which is keeping as many people opted in as possible,” said Sucharita Kodali, a vice president and retail analyst at Forrester.
Experts also told Protocol the situation seems to highlight how Block, as well as other payment processors and fintech platforms, operate in a bit of a privacy gray zone. Sometimes that gray zone leaves no one in charge of consumers’ data rights, and sometimes it means the companies, deep within their terms of service, have legal loopholes that give them room to use our information in ways we might not expect.
‘Surprising is never good’
My work inbox’s collision with Square-powered marketing seemingly began in June, when I had a receipt for a small processing fee related to obtaining a press pass sent to it. I paid with a personal card, and that transaction added my work address to my existing Square profile, which was in turn already linked with that card. That was all it took. Even though I’ve never used that particular card at most of the businesses now emailing me, and I don’t get any other receipts sent to my work email, the address was circulated to marketing lists far and wide.
