Selexipag Tablets Market Outlook and Future Projections for 2030Carroll County commissioners have put in writing their official opposition to the controversial Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project, a proposed 70-mile high-voltage transmission line through Carroll, Frederick and Baltimore counties. At their meeting Thursday, commissioners unanimously approved a lengthy written resolution, which was first on Nov. 14. “Obviously we discussed this last week, which was a resolution to formalize the board’s opposition to this project,” Gordon said. “As well as the use of eminent domain.” Copies of the resolution, which took effect immediately after approval Thursday, will be sent to Gov. Wes Moore, the Carroll County delegation to the Maryland General Assembly, the Maryland Public Service Commission, Maryland’s Office of People’s Counsel and Maryland’s Congressional Delegation, including those in the U.S. Senate. The Public Service Enterprise Group has been contracted by PJM, the organization that operates and plans Maryland’s electric grid, to build the $424 million power line. Moore has from residents who say he has failed to intervene in the project. “This process has gone differently than any other process before,” Moore said in an interview with Baltimore Sun co-owner Armstrong Williams. “I understand the anger, but to direct it toward me doesn’t make any sense.” Gordon was asked by District 5 Commissioner Ed Rothstein to read the resolution in its entirety, which centered on the negative impacts the power line would have on farms, property values and the environment. “It is evident to the current Board of Commissioners that the proposed MPRP alignment will negatively impact natural heritage resources, local businesses, the hospitality and tourism sectors, and historical sites, forest areas and open space conservation areas,” the resolution states. “And, the proposed new 70-mile right-of-way would carve up farms, some of which are subject to county and state agricultural preservation easements, severely disrupt agricultural operations, devalue farm values, and may result in a loss of numerous small farms that form the backbone of the agriculture industry in Carroll County.” Commissioners oppose the alignment which would cut through land conserved in agricultural preservation, and would be detrimental to wildlife and wildlife habitats. The resolution states that the board stands in “solidarity” with the residents of Baltimore and Frederick counties, also impacted by the project. “Carroll County commissioners urge the Public Service Commission to reject the MPRP and deny any application for approval of the MPRP,” it reads. The , the state agency that regulates public utilities, has the authority to make the final decision on whether the project will be built. The resolution asks that the Public Service Commission uphold and protect the property rights of landowners and farmers, and deny the use of eminent domain by the Public Service Enterprise Group, to build the power line.

Man City blows 3-goal lead and gets booed by fans in draw with Feyenoord in Champions LeagueWinners, losers as Rams beat 49ers 12-6 on Thursday Night FootballHealth experts have urged Brits to practice social distancing this Christmas to protect the most vulnerable amid soaring flu cases. People with even mild symptoms of the common cold need to think about whether they ought to self-isolate, as the virus can prove fatal for the elderly, experts suggest. Professor Paul Hunter, an expert in infectious diseases at the University of East Anglia, said if you are ill with flu , you should stay away from other people for the first three days and preferably for the first week. He told MailOnline this is especially important if they are elderly or suffer from medical conditions which would make them more at risk. Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at the University of Warwick, urged those with potential flu symptoms to consider lockdown-style measures. He told the same publication that if you have flu-like symptoms it is really important to think about limiting contact with other people, particularly those who are clinically vulnerable to chest infections. The expert added this was important to consider even if "vulnerable" people had already received a flu jab as a vaccine cannot offer 100% protection from serious illness. Professor Ian Jones, a virologist at the University of Reading, said it was best for people with potential flu to restrict their movements but added that if this isn't possible then they should wear a face covering in crowded places to reduce possible transmission. The advice comes after it emerged earlier this month that the number of people in hospital in England with flu jumped 41% in a week. Health leaders warned the situation would be likely to get worse before it got better with schools closing for Christmas and festive gatherings taking place. NHS figures showed earlier this month there was a total of 2,629 patients with flu in hospital, including 125 in critical care beds – up 90% on the previous week ending December 8. Officials have already warned of a so-called "quad-demic" of diseases: flu, COVID -19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and norovirus. Hospital trusts have brought in mask-wearing mandates in order to help stop their spread, with Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust said to be the latest to impose such measures. Unwell Brits have also taken to social media to urge others to stay at home rather than risk infecting others. Tania Hunter, who suffers from asthma, told her TikTok followers she has been feeling as if someone hit her with a tonne of bricks. She said: "I know it's Christmas and stuff, but if you and your family are sick, don't go out."None
