The earthquake in Nevada serves as a sobering reminder of the power of nature and the fragility of human civilization in the face of such forces. It is a wake-up call for communities to come together, support each other, and build resilience in the face of adversity. Through unity and preparedness, we can weather the storm and emerge stronger than before. Let us learn from this experience and commit ourselves to a safer and more secure future for all.
In recent events, a tragic incident occurred during a fireworks display over the sea, as a drone used to capture aerial footage suddenly crashed into the ocean, sparking concerns over safety measures and technological implications. The village committee, responsible for organizing the event, has released a statement addressing the accident and attributing it to signal interference that led to the drone malfunction.DoorDash will require its drivers to verify their identities more often as part of a larger effort to crack down on unauthorized account sharing. DoorDash has been under pressure to ensure its drivers are operating legally. Over the summer, for example, it pledged to do a better job dangerous drivers after a flood of complaints of dangerous driving from cities. Officials in Boston, New York and other cities have said that in many cases, people with multiple traffic violations continue to make deliveries using accounts registered to others. The said Thursday it was requiring some drivers to complete real-time identity checks immediately after they complete a delivery. Previously, drivers were occasionally asked to re-verify their identities before or after a shift. DoorDash has introduced the new system in Los Angeles, Denver, Seattle and other cities, and said it planned a wider rollout next year. DoorDash said it also has developed an advanced machine learning system that can flag potential unauthorized account access, including login anomalies and suspicious activity. If the company detects a problem, it will require drivers to re-verify their identity before they can . U.S. drivers must verify their identities with a driver’s license or other government-issued identification, and upload a selfie that matches their identification photo before they can do work for DoorDash. They also must submit to background checks, which require a Social Security number. The company said it found that some drivers were getting around the requirements by sharing accounts with authorized users. In some cases, drivers who were not authorized to drive for DoorDash paid authorized users for access to their accounts. Some federal lawmakers have demanded that DoorDash and other delivery apps do a better job of keeping people who are in the U.S. illegally off the platforms. Republican U.S. Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Mike Braun of Indiana and Ted Budd of North Carolina sent letters to delivery companies in April asking them to crack down on account sharing. “These illegal immigrants are delivering food directly to consumers’ doors without ever having undergone a background check and often without even using their real names,” the letter said. It added that working illegally can also be dangerous for migrants, creating the potential for exploitation and abuse. The Associated Press left messages seeking comment Thursday with Gig Workers Rising and Justice for App Workers, which both represent delivery drivers. DoorDash won’t estimate how many drivers are using shared accounts, but said its safeguards are effective. Last year, it began asking drivers to re-verify their identities monthly by submitting a selfie. The company said it is now asking more than 150,000 drivers to complete selfie checks each week, and it’s removing them from the platform if they don’t comply.

As the holiday whirlwind surrounds us, we are reminded how much we should be grateful for: no matter which holidays we celebrate, we have numerous opportunities to congregate with friends and family members and to share the holiday spirit, we exchange material and spiritual gifts, we reach out to people we know and even to people we don’t know, to offer our time, compassion, love and support more than in any other part of the year. So why are we not so happy? Why are most people stressed and overwhelmed and the question “Are you ready for the holiday Season?” often sounds more like a disaster preparedness inquiry than an exciting reminder? Scientists and common folk alike offer various explanations. Harvard scientists warn that the holiday season requires us to keep track of additional duties and responsibilities, so the prefrontal portion of our brain goes on “overdrive” with executive decisions we must make. This high demand can cause a decrease in our memory functions, and stress can even stop the production of new brain cells. Harvard scientists recommend self-evaluating how we spend time over the holidays and considering “breaks” from the festivities to slow down this process. Luckily, once the holidays are over and the season’s stress is over, the normal brain function recovers. Additionally, the winter holidays coincide with months when there is less sunlight because the days are shorter. As a result, some people (roughly 6% of the population) develop Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is more prevalent in northern climates but can be experienced in Colorado, as well. Factors connected with financial stress contribute in a major way. The pressure to buy gifts for all “on the list” replaces the joy of giving if comparison and unrealistic expectations replace the sense of enjoying gift exchanges as a traditional activity and a way to bond. The need to take part in family activities challenges those who experience family conflicts. Even the most diplomatic of us feel challenged when we must face family members with strong political, religious, or health beliefs and convictions. This discourages many people from attending family gatherings. This avoidance causes the opposite negative feeling of loneliness. Statistics indicate that 75% of Gen Z-ers and 65% of single adults feel lonelier than their peers. No matter the source of holiday stress, December is undoubtedly the most stressful month. The end of the year is a time for evaluating our year of experiences, for scorekeeping and tallying personal and professional goals, and for focusing on “what could have been better” as we begin to craft New Year’s resolutions. This reflection, mixed with social media and sometimes forced family functions, can bring the weight of the world crashing down on you. So, how can you avoid this? Is it even possible? Of course it is, but it’s up to us. Whenever you are feeling the holiday blues, do something small for you. Brew some coffee or tea, take a moment or two, and drink in this moment. Allowing yourself the time to experience the heat radiating from the cup in your hand, the chill on your face as you look at the window, and the warmth the holiday season brings to our relationships through celebration. Focus on the moment and not on the Season. And don’t forget, if you are seriously depressed or anxious, your mental health provider or the providers at the 988 hotline will be happy to help. Happy Season to all from us at GTI! ______________________________________________________________________________ Jenni Guentcheva, LPC, LAC, NCACII co-founded GTI and leads GoodNeighbor LLC, both treatment centers in the heart of Canon City.

In conclusion, as the year comes to a close, let us applaud the young adults who are choosing to prioritize self-care, well-being, and community over exhaustion and burnout. Their commitment to personal growth and holistic living is not only inspiring but also sets a positive example for future generations. As we prepare to welcome the new year, may we all take a page from their book and embrace a life filled with balance, mindfulness, and genuine connections.

Another factor that has played a role in the relative calm in Damascus is the changing military strategies of the various warring parties. In recent months, there has been a shift towards more localized and targeted operations, rather than large-scale offensives. This change in approach has led to a decrease in the frequency of major clashes and has helped to mitigate the impact of the conflict on the civilian population in Damascus.Raiders and Saints meet with prominent players nearing statistical milestonesTitle: Manchester United Prepared to Sell Rashford by Next Summer at the Latest, Open to Offers in Winter Transfer Window
