That is until the busy operations were brought to a sudden halt by the sight of an unknown liquid splashing out of the top of a large silver tanker truck that had been ordered out of the line at the scales for a closer inspection. As the smell of the unknown substance became apparent in the air and leakage threatened to contaminate the drainage system in the large parking area, the team of motor carrier inspectors called on hazardous materials officials for help. It was discovered the cap was missing from the top of the large tanker truck, which resulted in the vehicle being placed "out of service" and thus unable to drive away until the problem was corrected on site, Mysiewicz said. The discovery is just the type of problem the team is out to catch and keep off the state's roadways and away from other drivers. It was the second truck to be curbed that morning by the small team, which faces the seemingly insurmountable task of assuring the huge number of commercial vehicles passing along the busy stretch of the interstate before them are in compliance with weight limits and various other safety regulations. The team relies heavily on computer technology and license plate cameras to carry out this task, but regularly jumps in for hands-on inspections and the occasional vehicle chase for those making the mistake of trying to dodge the scales. "We get a lot of trucks through Porter and Lake counties," Mysiewicz said. The westbound station processed about 42,000 commercial vehicles last month alone and the eastbound site likely had about the same number, he said. The busiest flow of truck traffic in the Region is found further west along I-94 near the Illinois state line, he said. The eastbound weigh station and the one opposite it monitoring the westbound flow of traffic along I-94 are among ten statewide , said Mysiewicz, who serves as district coordinator and oversees a staff of eight inspectors. The only other station in the Region is located along southbound Interstate 65 at Ind. 2. Mysiewicz and team operate out of a small, glass front building separated from the heavy flow of fast-moving interstate traffic by just a few feet and two side lanes where trucks are diverted sometime randomly and other times intentionally to be weighed and potentially waived aside for a closer look. The team is assisted in this huge task by technology, including two computer programs paid for by the drivers and/or their companies that help determine which vehicles are to be weighed and/or inspected, he said. Any drivers not using the technology are automatically ordered to pull off the highway to be weighed. According to Mysiewicz, the weighing process actually begins before the trucks reach the weigh station with censors under the highway leading up to the scales. One truck pulling up outside the building without a trailer last week weighed in at just under 18,000 pounds, followed by another that Mysiewicz guessed must have been empty at 52,000 pounds. Trucks are allowed to weigh up to 80,000 pounds without a special permit, he said. The aim of the weigh stations and inspections are safety and reduced damage to the state highways, Mysiewicz said. The crews look for problems such as blown tires, loads that are not properly secured, faulty brakes and fuel leaks. Inspections of passing trucks are done randomly or in response to obvious problems, he said. The more intensive inspections are carried out in a large garage behind the scale building and involving team members dropping into a pit to take a look at the underside of the trucks. Mysiewicz estimated that about every fifth inspection results in a truck being placed "out of service" and kept on site until repairs are made. He is well aware that some drivers dodge the scales by rerouting through the area along nearly U.S. 20 or U.S. 12, or even dropping as far south as U.S. 30. But he and others on the team are prepared to take their jobs on the road if necessary using portable scales. Most of the trucks passing through the weigh station during the morning last week were quickly cleared and sent back on their way. Not so, however, for the driver of the leaking tanker truck. With the hazardous materials team not yet on site, he took it upon himself to slowly make his way to the top of the large tank in the rain, place a simple plastic bag over the exposed opening and then climb back into the cab to wait out the unexpected delay in his work day.

The real estate market, a cornerstone of the economy, plays a crucial role in driving economic development and providing housing for the population. In many countries, including China and the United States, real estate has been a focal point of economic policies and regulations. The recent emphasis on stabilizing the real estate market reflects the government's commitment to ensuring sustainable growth and preventing potential risks associated with property speculation.Podcast powerhouse Joe Rogan says he is “genuinely concerned” about recent drone sightings in the tri-state area after an expert theory emerged. “This is the first video about these drones that has got me genuinely concerned,” Rogan said in reaction to a video posted by John Ferguson — the CEO of Saxon Unmanned, a Kansas-based company specializing in unmanned and autonomous remote system technologies — who shared his theory. “As a professional, as a subject matter expert, I wanted to give you all my opinion on what I think could be going on with these drones,” Ferguson said in his video posted to TikTok on Saturday, adding, “I don’t particularly believe that these have a nefarious intent.” Ferguson went on to remind viewers that “back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program with Russia, and there were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of.” “Well, I believe there were over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing,” the CEO added. “We don’t know where they are — and I speak with some pretty high-level government officials on this stuff.” Watch Below: A post shared by The JRE Companion (@thejrecompanion) “So, I spoke to a gentleman a few months ago who was trying to raise an alarm to the highest levels of our government — which, they had their ears closed — about this one particular nuclear warhead that he physically put his hands on,” Ferguson revealed. “He physically touched this warhead that was left over from Ukraine.” “He knew that that thing was headed towards the United States,” he added. “And everyone knows that the United States government — this administration — is pushing to get into a war with Russia.” Ferguson elaborated: Well, back up a few years: Do you all remember when those drones were mysteriously flying across the Interstate 70 corridor from Colorado, and up into Nebraska, down here into Kansas, and out into Missouri? Well, it was believed that those drones were looking for radioactive material, because there had been some material that came up missing here in the United States, and they felt like it was a high probability that the nuclear or the radioactive material would be taken along the Interstate 70 corridor, heading east or west or south. “So from what we understand, they were out there trying to find this radioactive material,” Ferguson said, adding that drones “have no reason to be in the air at night, unless you’re doing some type of ISR [intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance] work.” “There’s no reason for a drone to be flying at night, because they don’t see shit,” the CEO added. Ferguson went on to claim that the drones could be trying to “smell” a “gas leak” or “radioactive material” on the ground. “The only reason why you would ever fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you’re looking for something,” he said. Ferguson said the if these are U.S. drones, “they are not nefarious intent,” and “the only reason why they would be flying, and flying that low, is because they’re trying to smell something on the ground.” “That’s it. There’s no other reason for a drone to be flying around the air [at night]. So my belief is they’re trying to smell something on the ground — gas leaks, radioactive material, whatever,” Ferguson stated. Elsewhere the CEO noted that the man he spoke with who was trying to “raise the alarm” that a “deadly weapon was on its way to the United States” had never received a response from the U.S. government. “This government did not do anything at all,” he said. “It left Europe, it’s out there, and now it’s gone.” Ferguson clarified to Breitbart News that his company is “not a government-backed agency for the USDOD [U.S. Department of Defense].” “We simply build aircraft for a larger defense contractor,” Ferguson said. “My message was just simply to provide a technical response to some of the concerns out there.” Alana Mastrangelo is a reporter for Breitbart News.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — John Elway says any remorse over bypassing Josh Allen in the 2018 NFL draft is quickly dissipating with rookie Bo Nix's rapid rise, suggesting the Denver Broncos have finally found their next franchise quarterback. Elway said Nix, the sixth passer selected in April's draft, is an ideal fit in Denver with coach Sean Payton navigating his transition to the pros and Vance Joseph's defense serving as a pressure release valve for the former Oregon QB. “We’ve seen the progression of Bo in continuing to get better and better each week and Sean giving him more each week and trusting him more and more to where last week we saw his best game of the year,” Elway said in a nod to Nix's first game with 300 yards and four touchdown throws in a rout of Atlanta. For that performance, Nix earned his second straight NFL Rookie of the Week honor along with the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award. “I think the sky’s the limit," Elway said, “and that’s just going to continue to get better and better.” In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Elway also touted former coach Mike Shanahan's Hall of Fame credentials, spoke about the future of University of Colorado star and Heisman favorite Travis Hunter and discussed his ongoing bout with a chronic hand condition. Elway spent the last half of his decade as the Broncos’ GM in a futile search for a worthy successor to Peyton Manning, a pursuit that continued as he transitioned into a two-year consultant role that ended after the 2022 season. “You have all these young quarterbacks and you look at the ones that make it and the ones that don’t and it’s so important to have the right system and a coach that really knows how to tutelage quarterbacks, and Sean’s really good at that,” Elway said. “I think the combination of Bo’s maturity, having started 61 games in college, his athletic ability and his knowledge of the game has been such a tremendous help for him,'" Elway added. “But also Vance Joseph’s done a heck of a job on the defensive side to where all that pressure’s not being put on Bo and the offense to score all the time.” Payton and his staff have methodically expanded Nix’s repertoire and incorporated his speed into their blueprints. Elway lauded them for “what they’re doing offensively and how they’re breaking Bo into the NFL because it’s a huge jump and I think patience is something that goes a long way in the NFL when it comes down to quarterbacks.” Elway said he hopes to sit down with Nix at some point when things slow down for the rookie. Nix, whose six wins are one more than Elway had as a rookie, said he looks forward to meeting the man who won two Super Bowls during his Hall of Fame playing career and another from the front office. “He’s a legend not only here for this organization, but for the entire NFL," Nix said, adding, "most guys, they would love to have a chat with John Elway, just pick his brain. It’s just awesome that I’m even in that situation.” Orange Crush linebacker Randy Gradishar joined Elway in the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, something Elway called “way, way overdue.” Elway suggested it's also long past time for the Hall to honor Shanahan, who won back-to-back Super Bowls in Denver with Elway at QB and whose footprint you see every weekend in the NFL because of his expansive coaching tree. Elway called University of Colorado stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders “both great athletes." He said he really hopes Sanders gets drafted by a team that will bring him along like the Broncos have done with Nix and he sees Hunter being able to play both ways in the pros but not full time. Elway said he thinks Hunter will be primarily a corner in the NFL but with significant contributions on offense: “He's great at both. He's got great instincts, and that's what you need at corner." It's been five years since Elway announced he was dealing with Dupuytren’s contracture, a chronic condition that typically appears after age 40 and causes one or more fingers to permanently bend toward the palm. Elway's ring fingers on both hands were originally affected and he said now the middle finger on his right hand is starting to pull forward. So, he’ll get another injection of a drug called Xiaflex, which is the only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment, one that he's endorsing in an awareness campaign for the chronic condition that affects 17 million Americans. The condition can make it difficult to do everyday tasks such as shaking hands or picking up a coffee mug. Elway said what bothered him most was “I couldn't pick up a football and I could not imagine not being able to put my hand around a football."

As Barcelona navigates the complexities of contract renewal negotiations with Sergi Roberto, fans and supporters of the club are eagerly awaiting a positive outcome. The player's continued presence in the team would be a boost for Barcelona as they strive for success in various competitions and aim to maintain their status as one of the top clubs in Europe.Julie Scelfo started MAMA — Mothers Against Media Addiction — earlier this year to help parents fight back against the harms of social media on children. A former journalist, Scelfo says she was inspired to take action after reporting on the youth mental health crisis and how screens and social media are affecting young people’s lives. The group has 28 chapters in 17 states, with waitlists to start other chapters. Scelfo says the group wants to establish chapters in every state, provide parent education about technology, “ensure the school day remains smart-phone-free for students and overcome the ”inertia in our state capitals and Congress so technology is safeguarded like other consumer products." Scelfo spoke with The Associated Press recently about her work with MAMA, as well as a new Australian law banning children under 16 from using social media. The Q&A has been edited for length and clarity. QUESTION: What are the biggest issues you hear from parents about technology, anything new that hasn’t been talked about as much? I’m not sure it hasn’t been talked about, but what I hear the most from parents is that they are extremely stressed about the ubiquity of technology in their children’s lives and they don’t know what to do about it. Whether it’s the massive social pressure to get kids their own phones, or the fact that kindergartners are handed tablets on their first day of school, it can feel almost impossible for parents to do what they intrinsically know is better for their kids — which is to be outside in the world as much as possible and not parked in front of a screen. But parents cannot possibly bear the entire responsibility of keeping children off screens and keeping them safe online because the problems are baked into society and into the design of the products. Parents and kids face a polycrisis — multiple crises happening at the same time which creates an effect even more devastating than each one would be individually. At a time when children should be building their social skills and attention span, they are increasingly interacting with the world through technology that can impede the development of both – and on platforms without adequate safeguards. Social media companies relentlessly target our kids with hidden algorithms that exploit their emotions for profit , and I don’t think there’s a real understanding of just how pervasive that exploitation is. Q: Is Australia’s ban on social media for kids under 16 the right move by a government? Why/why not? Australia’s social media ban for children under 16 puts the responsibility of compliance where it should be — on tech platforms, not parents. With more than half of teenagers spending nearly five hours a day on social media platforms and our heart-breaking national youth mental health crisis, it’s unconscionable that governments around the world, including here in the U.S., have failed to pass meaningful social media regulation since the days when AOL still distributed CD-ROMs by snail mail. Much like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would do here in the U.S, Australia’s ban represents a crucial first break in the long-standing logjam on any type of internet regulation and I applaud Australia’s legislators and Prime Minister Albanese for having the courage to stand up to Big Tech. Big Tech is personalizing content to pull our kids into a world where addiction, anxiety, and even depression are side effects. To keep them on the app longer, children are shown more and more extreme content, leveraging the mountains of data they are collecting on our kids, with no common-sense safeguards or basic protections every parent expects. They are making billions while having the nerve to say it’s the parents’ job to make their products safe for our kids? It’s time for governments to step in and force Beg Tech to take responsibility for the effects of their products. Big Tech has spent more than $51 million this year alone to prevent KOSA from passing. Q: What are the reasons that teens should wait until 16 to be on social media? A: Today’s youth spend nearly 9 hours on screens daily and it’s not healthy or safe for their hearts and minds. For example, Meta in September acknowledged taking action on 12 million pieces of suicide and self-harm content on Facebook and Instagram this year — just between April and June. Our kids’ compulsion to check their phones is exposing them to unsafe content and displacing critical, real-world experiences they need to properly develop socially, emotionally and academically. Q: Won’t kids just get around the restrictions, as they always do? A: Every other industry is safeguarded. From toys to food to buildings to cars, we have regulations in place to keep children safe. Why should social media products be any different? Kids may try to get around the restrictions — just like they do for alcohol, tobacco or drugs — but nobody is saying that because they try, we should give them unfettered access to them. Parents cannot possibly bear the entire responsibility of keeping children safe online, because the problems are baked into the design of the products, and so we need policies that hold Big Tech accountable for ensuring their products are safe. Q: What is your ultimate goal with MAMA? A: Just like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the genesis of this movement is fury and anger at the injustice of young people being robbed of their lives just because they happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I want to direct that energy into cultural change — we can’t continue to tout the benefits of technology without having an open and real-time discussion about its significant, and widespread harms and without ensuring that powerful corporations, just like Big Tobacco, are forced to make their products as safe as possible for humans. The ultimate goal for MAMA is to put tech products in their place: as powerful, and often helpful tools - but just a part of human life, not the center of it.
