  87. <p>The I-44 and U.S. 75 interchange is a crucial intersection in Oklahoma that connects Tulsa to other major cities in the state, including Oklahoma City and Lawton. The interchange is currently outdated and in need of significant repairs, which is why the state&#8217;s transportation officials have included it in their comprehensive plan.<br /><br />The revamp project will involve the reconstruction of the interchange, including the construction of new bridges, ramps, and overpasses. The project aims to reduce traffic congestion, increase safety, and improve access to businesses and residential areas in the region.<br /><br />According to Governor Stitt, the transportation plan will be a significant investment in the state&#8217;s infrastructure, which will create job opportunities and boost economic growth. He says that the plan&#8217;s focus on improving the state&#8217;s highways, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure will help businesses move goods and services more efficiently and make Oklahoma a more attractive place to do business.<br /><br />The transportation plan also includes funding for other significant projects, such as the expansion of the Gilcrease Expressway in Tulsa and the construction of new bridges over the Arkansas River.<br /><br />Oklahoma&#8217;s $8.8 billion transportation plan is a significant investment in the state&#8217;s infrastructure that will create job opportunities, boost economic growth, and improve transportation efficiency. The revamp of the I-44 and U.S. 75 interchange is just one part of this comprehensive plan, which aims to improve the state&#8217;s highways, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure. With the plan set to begin in 2024, Oklahoma is poised to become a more attractive place to do business and live.</p>

  118. <pre class="wp-block-verse">The Phoenix District Access and Pedestrian Safety Project is a comprehensive infrastructure development initiative that primarily improves pedestrian and bicyclist safety in the area along the 36th St. N. near N. Peoria St. &amp; N. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.Intersections. The project involved multiple components, including waterline replacement, patching or reconstruction under the road surface, and repaving with a new asphalt overlay. The street has been reconfigured to one lane in each direction with occasional center turn lanes, new landscaped medians, bike lanes that connect with the Osage Prairie Trail, new sidewalks, lighting, crosswalk markings, and more than 300 new trees.</pre>

  152. <p>One of the noteworthy features of this project is the inclusion of on-street parallel parking between the Osage Prairie Trail and Peoria Avenue. When completed, the street encourages new pedestrian-oriented businesses, walking, and biking, and utilizes traffic calming countermeasures which discourage speeding. The incorporation of the bike lanes and sidewalks is a critical aspect of the project, as it aims to connect residential neighborhoods in the area with the Osage Prairie Trail, thereby promoting a healthy lifestyle and a greener environment.<br /><br />This project is supported by the 36th Street North Small Area Plan, which is primarily focused on developing a walkable 36th St. N. with better sidewalks, transit access, landscaping, and bike lanes. The planning process for this project included over a year of public meetings in 2012 and 2013, led by a Citizens Advisory Team. Below you can view a YouTube video on the community involvement with the Phoenix District Streetscape Project.&nbsp; The project adheres to the U.S. DOT and other federal guidelines regarding benefit-cost analysis and is expected to generate significant benefits for the community, including safety benefits, facility amenity benefits, and economic benefits.<br /><br />The Phoenix District Access and Pedestrian Safety Project is a crucial initiative that will significantly improve the pedestrian and bicyclist safety in the area along 36th St. N. near N. Peoria St. &amp; N. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. Intersections. The inclusion of bike lanes, sidewalks, and more than 300 new trees will encourage a healthier lifestyle and promote a greener environment. Furthermore, the project&#8217;s economic benefits, along with the safety and facility amenity benefits, will significantly outweigh the costs, resulting in a net positive impact on the community.</p>

  297. <p>The group known as Oklahomans Against Occupation flew Palestinian flags inside the Capitol along with signs demanding a ceasefire in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.  Our mission is multifaceted, reflecting our dedication to raising awareness, educating our fellow Oklahomans, amplifying Palestinian voices, advocating for diplomacy, and supporting the safety and freedom of the Palestinian people.<br /><br />&#8220;In the last three months, 30,000 Palestinians have died. These are civilians. These are children. These are innocent women and men who do not deserve to live under these conditions. It’s a humanitarian issue, it’s a humanitarian issue. Anyone with any heart and empathy sees this issue and wants to fight for justice and fight for what’s right,&#8221; Yasmin said.</p>

  361. <p>Hundreds of people gathered at the food court in Memorial Union at the University of Oklahoma to protest the Israel occupation of Palestine.<br /><br />Among other things, students also protested the state of Oklahoma and the university for continuing to support study abroad programs in Israel, as well as exchange programs.<br /><br />The Schusterman Center for Judaic and Israeli Studies at OU offers different programs in cooperation with universities in Israel.<br /><br />Yasmin, an incoming freshman at OU and organizer for Oklahomans Against Occupation, came to support the event.<br /><br />“We have Israel exchange programs with students, they get to come here,” Yasmin said. “There&#8217;s no such thing for Palestinian students in any of the territories that are occupied, and so we&#8217;re asking that programs like that and other divestments that have been made by this university be reinvested back into Oklahoma.”</p>
  362.  
  363.  
  364.  
  365. <p>“This event is about letting the University of Oklahoma note about its students do not stand for genocide, nor does it stand for divestments in Israel,” Yasmin said. “We ask that the university turns away their divestment from Israel and reinvest it into the students.”<br /><br />She said students at the protest want the U.S. to call for a permanent ceasefire and for humanitarian aid to come into the Gaza Strip.<br /><br />Levenson said its programs send students to different parts of the Israel state, including Palestine.<br /><br />“Many of our scholarship students have toured sites on the West Bank, and nearly all have spent time in Arab East Jerusalem. Further, the Schusterman Center supports study abroad to Jordan, Egypt, North Africa, indeed, all areas in this region where it is safe for OU students to travel,” Levenson said.</p>
  366.  
  367.  
  368.  
  369. <p>Also at the protest were pro-Israel students. Of the dozen approached by the Transcript, none would self-identify on record, though Jewish alumnus said “A lot of people are calling the war in Gaza genocide. It simply isn&#8217;t a genocide. It&#8217;s a war of self defense. It&#8217;s very tragic, that so many Palestinians have died, but Israel is not targeting civilians.”</p>

  373. <p>The Oklahomans Against Occupation is scheduled to have a meeting in North Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Rudisill Regional library on March 16th 2024 at 12:30 p.m.</p>

  531. <p>Demonstrators protest outside Tulsa City Hall on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023, after Israeli air strikes and a ground invasion of Gaza in its war with Hamas. </p>
  532.  
  533.  
  534.  
  535. <p>Following a month of war between Israel and Hamas, protesters in Tulsa joined demonstrators across the world calling for an end to violence in Gaza.</p>
  536.  
  537.  
  538.  
  539. <p>Scores of demonstrators brought signs and Palestinian flags to the front entrance of Tulsa City Hall on Saturday afternoon. They stayed there for hours, yelling chants and giving speeches.</p>
  540.  
  541.  
  542.  
  543. <p>The event was organized by the grassroots organization Oklahomans Against Occupation. </p>
  544.  
  545.  
  546.  
  547. <p>Palestinians have been at odds with the Israeli government since after World War II, when Israel was reestablished as a country on land the Palestinians lived on at the time. After the militant group Hamas assumed power over the Palestinian Gaza Strip in 2006, Israel quarantined the land to the point where a United Nations human rights expert called Gaza an “open-air prison” this summer.</p>
  548.  
  549.  
  550.  
  551. <p>When asked about the Hamas attacks, Oklahomans Against Occupation organizer Khalil Shaheed pointed out that the Palestinian struggle predates Hamas by decades.</p>
  552.  
  553.  
  554.  
  555. <p>“We’re here to address the root cause of the violence,” Shaheed said.</p>
  556.  
  557.  
  558.  
  559. <p>Shaheed said his organization calls for the end to the violence, a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s siege of Gaza.</p>

  580.  
  581.  
  582.  
  583. <p><br />Mediation is a form of dispute resolution that allows individuals and/or organizations involved in a dispute to work together towards resolving their own differences.</p>
  584.  
  585.  
  586.  
  587. <p>During mediation, trained mediators work closely with the disputing parties by listening to all sides of the dispute, identifying areas of concern, and exploring underlying interests and possible solutions.</p>
  588.  
  589.  
  590.  
  591. <p>The mediation process gives parties the opportunity to tell their story and to hear the other person while focusing on moving forward.</p>
  592.  
  593.  
  594.  
  595. <p>Mediators remain neutral throughout the process and unlike a magistrate or judge, mediators do not decide the outcome; the outcome is determined by the parties themselves.</p>

  604.  
  605.  
  606.  
  607. <ul>
  608. <li>Voluntary – Mediation is a voluntary process for everyone involved.</li>
  609.  
  610.  
  611.  
  612. <li>Confidential – Mediation sessions are confidential except in rare circumstances. Mediators cannot be called to testify about what was said in mediation.</li>
  613.  
  614.  
  615.  
  616. <li>Non-judgmental – Mediators are not judges, they do not take sides or tell parties what to do.</li>
  617.  
  618.  
  619.  
  620. <li>Positive and forward looking – Through mediation, parties usually develop a better understanding of each other even if they don’t reach a mediated agreement, by improving communication, hearing the other person’s point of view and thinking abut their future relationship.</li>
  621.  
  622.  
  623.  
  624. <li>Empowering – Parties craft and control the outcome of each mediation.</li>
  625.  
  626.  
  627.  
  628. <li>Successful – Parties are more likely to follow the requirements of a mediated agreement because they have crafted it themselves.</li>
  629.  
  630.  
  631.  
  632. <li>Timely – Mediations can often happen more quickly than waiting for a court date.</li>
  633.  
  634.  
  635.  
  636. <li>Convenient – Mediations can be arranged at a convenient time and place (with options for phone or video conference arrangements).</li>

  693.  
  694.  
  695. <p>To that end, HMP mediators do not endeavor to solve the parties’ problem or impose solutions – rather, mediation with HMP creates a safe and neutral environment in which parties can discuss their dispute and seek to move towards resolution.</p>

  793. <p><span style="color: #000000">In order to actively take part in much needed or desired changes in your community, s</span>cheduling a m<span style="color: #000000">eeting with a member of Congress in your home district is one of the best and the most direct ways of conveying interest.  Who knows your activism may lead Congress to enact a multi-year public awareness crosswalk education bill.  </span></p>
  794. <p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>THIS IS HOW TO SET UP A MEETING WITH YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE</strong></span></p>
  795. <p><span style="color: #000000">Members of Congress&#8217; schedules fill rapidly, so plan your meeting well in advance. Members of Congress are usually in their districts during holidays and Congressional recesses, and often on Mondays and Fridays.  </span>You can find the congressional schedule by looking at the House or Senate website at <a href="http://www.house.gov" rel="nofollow">http://www.house.gov</a> or <a href="http://www.senate.gov" rel="nofollow">http://www.senate.gov</a> or by calling the Member of Congress&#8217; office.</p>
  796. <p><span style="color: #000000">Almost all offices require a faxed copy of a meeting request before they will consider scheduling a meeting. Tell the scheduler the dates you are available, the issue you will discuss and who will be attending &#8211; ideally, a small group of constituents representing different companies and/or stakeholder groups in the transportation construction industry.</span></p>
  797. <p>Be sure to follow up a few days later to schedule the meeting. Schedule<span style="color: #000000"> a meeting by calling the state or district office and asking for the scheduler or appointment secretary.</span></p>
  798. <ul>
  799. <li>Explain your purpose and whom you represent.</li>
  800. <li>Be clear that the meeting is about a public awareness crosswalk education bill.</li>
  801. </ul>
  802. <p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>The Meeting</strong></span></p>
  803. <p><span style="color: #000000">20 minutes is usually the most time you can expect for a meeting. Plan to speak for just 10 to 15 minutes to allow time for questions and responses. </span></p>
  804. <p>Make the story local using your own company and local examples the basis for Congress needing to act on a public awareness crosswalk education bill.</p>
  805. <p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Town Hall Meetings and Public Forums</strong></span></p>
  806. <p><span style="color: #000000">Members of Congress often schedule town-hall-style or public meetings in their districts. This is a good way for them to get out and talk to their constituents and a great way for you to raise the Member’s awareness on the need to enact a public awareness crosswalk education bill. bill. </span></p>
  807. <p>A well-informed question at a public meeting is an extremely effective way to get press coverage and pressure a Member of Congress publicly to take a position on this issue.</p>
  808. <p><span style="color: #000000">To plan ahead for a productive presence at a town hall meeting, it is critical to know the Member of Congress&#8217; schedule. The following are good information sources for determining a Member of Congress&#8217; district schedule.</span></p>
  809. <ol>
  810. <li><span style="color: #000000">Call the Member of Congress&#8217; district office directly and ask for when and where the next town hall meeting will be scheduled.</span></li>
  811. <li><span style="color: #000000">Look at the Member of Congress&#8217; website.</span></li>
  812. <li><span style="color: #000000">Look at congressional newsletters that are sent to you by the Member of Congress&#8217; office.</span></li>
  813. <li><span style="color: #000000">Call your local Chamber of Commerce or Rotary Club. Members of Congress often speak to these groups.</span></li>
  814. </ol>
  815. <p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Questions to Ask</strong></span></p>
  816. <p><span style="color: #000000">Keep the questions simple. There are two basic questions to ask.</span></p>
  817. <ol>
  818. <li><span style="color: #000000">The current public awareness crosswalk education programs are currently funded under an extension making it terribly difficult to make business planning decisions and for DOT’s to budget projects. Do you support passage of public awareness crosswalk education bills with increased funding for highways; transit; pedestrian safety; pedestrian education; pedestrian </span>awareness.</li>
  819. <li>What<span style="color: #000000"> are you going to do to help pass such legislation in Congress? Will you talk to the leadership?</span></li>
  820. </ol>
  821. <p><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Follow-Up</strong></span></p>
  822. <p><span style="color: #000000">As always, follow-up is important. If you have the opportunity to ask a question or talk to a Member of Congress you should follow it up a day or so later with a letter.</span></p>
  823. <p>Thank the Member of Congress for meeting or talking with you and for considering your views. It is always important to be respectful and courteous regardless of the Member of Congress&#8217; opinions and to represent your company in a professional manner.  <span style="color: #000000">STILL NERVOUS&#8230;?

  1039. <p>Transportation policy has an impact on daily life in numerous ways, affecting everything from traffic congestion to air pollution to public health. One of the most important aspects of transportation policy is pedestrian safety, as pedestrians are among the most vulnerable users of the transportation system. In recent years, a growing body of research has focused on strategies to improve pedestrian safety, including the use of crosswalk education programs. One such program is Pedestrian Awareness Crosswalk Education (PACE), developed by the non-profit organization PACE Tulsa.</p>
  1040.  
  1041.  
  1042.  
  1043. <p>PACE is an interactive program that aims to increase awareness of pedestrian safety and reduce the number of pedestrian-related accidents and fatalities. The program is designed to educate both drivers and pedestrians on the importance of crosswalk safety, with a particular focus on high-risk areas such as school zones and busy intersections. The program includes a variety of outreach activities, including classroom lessons, community events, and public awareness campaigns.</p>
  1044.  
  1045.  
  1046.  
  1047. <p>The effectiveness of the PACE program has been demonstrated in several studies. In a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it was found that the program was successful in increasing the use of crosswalks by pedestrians and reducing the number of pedestrian accidents. Another study conducted by the University of North Carolina found that the program was effective in increasing the number of drivers who yielded to pedestrians at crosswalks.</p>
  1048.  
  1049.  
  1050.  
  1051. <p>Despite the success of the PACE program, there are still challenges to implementing effective pedestrian safety policies. One of the major challenges is the lack of political will to prioritize pedestrian safety initiatives. Many transportation policies focus primarily on vehicular traffic and neglect the needs of pedestrians and cyclists. Additionally, there is often a lack of funding for pedestrian safety programs, which can limit the scope and effectiveness of these initiatives.</p>
  1052.  
  1053.  
  1054.  
  1055. <p>To address these challenges, it is important to develop a comprehensive approach to transportation policy that includes pedestrian safety as a top priority. This approach should include a range of strategies, including infrastructure improvements, public education campaigns, and policy changes. It is also important to involve a wide range of stakeholders, including local government officials, transportation planners, community groups, and advocacy organizations, in the development and implementation of pedestrian safety policies.</p>
  1056.  
  1057.  
  1058.  
  1059. <p>Smart crosswalks are an emerging technology that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and digital displays to enhance pedestrian safety and improve traffic flow. These intelligent crosswalks use sensors to detect pedestrian presence, count the number of people crossing the street, and communicate with traffic signals to adjust traffic flow accordingly. In this article, we will review the recent advancements in smart crosswalk technology and their potential applications in different urban environments.</p>
  1060.  
  1061.  
  1062.  
  1063. <p>Pedestrian safety is a significant concern in urban areas, with the number of pedestrian fatalities increasing every year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), pedestrian deaths accounted for 17% of all traffic fatalities in 2018. To address this issue, researchers and engineers have been developing smart crosswalks that leverage IoT and other technologies to improve safety and efficiency.</p>
  1064.  
  1065.  
  1066.  
  1067. <p><strong>Smart Crosswalk Technologies</strong></p>
  1068.  
  1069.  
  1070.  
  1071. <p>Smart crosswalks utilize a combination of sensors, digital displays, and communication systems to gather and transmit data in real-time. The sensors can detect the presence of pedestrians and estimate their speed and direction of movement. The data collected by the sensors is then transmitted to a central server, which processes it and communicates with the traffic signals to adjust traffic flow. The digital displays can also provide visual cues to drivers and pedestrians, such as countdown timers, warning messages, and directional arrows.</p>
  1072.  
  1073.  
  1074.  
  1075. <p><strong>Applications</strong></p>
  1076.  
  1077.  
  1078.  
  1079. <p>Smart crosswalks can be applied in a variety of urban environments, including busy intersections, school zones, and residential areas. In busy intersections, smart crosswalks can help reduce traffic congestion and improve safety by regulating traffic flow based on real-time pedestrian data. In school zones, smart crosswalks can provide visual cues and warning messages to drivers to slow down and yield to pedestrians. In residential areas, smart crosswalks can help improve safety by providing additional visibility and guidance to pedestrians.</p>
  1080.  
  1081.  
  1082.  
  1083. <p><strong>Challenges</strong></p>
  1084.  
  1085.  
  1086.  
  1087. <p>Despite the potential benefits of smart crosswalks, there are several challenges that need to be addressed to ensure their effectiveness and sustainability. One of the main challenges is the cost of installation and maintenance of the IoT sensors and digital displays. Another challenge is the need for standardization and interoperability of the various smart crosswalk technologies to ensure compatibility and seamless integration with existing traffic systems.</p>
  1088.  
  1089.  
  1090.  
  1091. <p>Smart crosswalks are an innovative solution to enhance pedestrian safety and improve traffic flow in urban areas. By leveraging IoT sensors and digital displays, smart crosswalks can provide real-time data and visual cues to drivers and pedestrians, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and increasing efficiency. However, there are still several challenges that need to be addressed to ensure the widespread adoption of smart crosswalks, including the cost of installation and maintenance and the need for standardization and interoperability</p>
  1092.  
  1093.  
  1094.  
  1095. <p>Pedestrian safety is a critical component of transportation policy, and initiatives such as the PACE program can play an important role in reducing pedestrian accidents and fatalities. However, more needs to be done to prioritize pedestrian safety in transportation policy and to develop comprehensive strategies that address the needs of all transportation users.

  1290. <p><strong>PART-TIME</strong> <strong>WORKING or OFF/ON SECURITY</strong> By Terence Morris author, and founder, PACE TULSA AGS FOUNDATION. Sunday,August 30, 2020.</p>
  1291.  
  1292.  
  1293.  
  1294. <p><strong>Misdemeanor Crimes of Domestic Violence&nbsp; (MCDV) / The OFFENSE, is committed whether or not the statute specifically defines the offense as a domestic violence misdemeanor conviction</strong>.</p>
  1295.  
  1296.  
  1297.  
  1298. <p>In the summer of 2015 PACE TULSA did a study in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area called: <strong>WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION:  &#8220;Racism; Sexism; and Wage Retaliation.&#8221;.</strong></p>
  1299.  
  1300.  
  1301.  
  1302. <p>As specifically-noted by survey participants during their exit interviews, there were many openly expressed concerns shared by former, future and present employee applicants which  addressed equity at work in the Tulsa Oklahoma employment sector.  </p>
  1303.  
  1304.  
  1305.  
  1306. <p>The findings highlighted instances of increasing <strong>Misdemeanor Crimes of Domestic Violence  (MCDV)</strong> albeit <strong>Toxic Levels</strong> <strong>of Bullying</strong>, both, realized and virtual battery in workplace environments in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area.</p>
  1307.  
  1308.  
  1309.  
  1310. <p><em>Qualifying Domestic Assault Violence Crimes</em><br /><em>Offenses </em></p>
  1311.  
  1312.  
  1313.  
  1314. <p>as enacted the statute defines &#8220;Misdemeanor Crimes of Domestic Violence&#8221; (MCDV) as any state or federal misdemeanor that &#8211;<br /><br />&#8220;has, as an element, the use or attempted use of physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, committed by a current or former cohabitant with the victim destinations related.<br /><br />This definition includes all misdemeanors that involve-<br /><br />&#8220;the use or attempted use of physical force, simple assault, assault and cyber-virtual or realized battery.</p>
  1315.  
  1316.  
  1317.  
  1318. <p>LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS AND MISDEMEANOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CRIMES/ ASSAULT.</p>
  1319.  
  1320.  
  1321.  
  1322. <p>Did you know?&nbsp; if a police law enforcement employee is found to have a MCDV (Misdemeanor Domestic.Violence Crime) or is the subject of a qualifying protection order under investigation, the department legal counsel and/or Tulsa, Oklahoma city/county attorney shall be consulted immediately regarding continued employment or duty assignment.</p>
  1323.  
  1324.  
  1325.  
  1326. <p>An already a hostile workplace environment to&nbsp; include:&nbsp; Workplace Discrimination: Racism, Sexism; and Wage retaliation can become a huge proceeding issue for employees that are expecting the safe place to and from work while working.</p>
  1327.  
  1328.  
  1329.  
  1330. <p><strong>United States Federal law prohibits police/ Law Enforcement&nbsp; Officers convicted of qualifying Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Crimes from possessing or distribution of forearms.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
  1331.  
  1332.  
  1333.  
  1334. <p>BUT, did The United States Supreme Court GRANT EXCESSIVE Law Enforcement Powers to NON-UNITED STATES POLICE INTELLIGENCE/ LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITIES (Native American Law enforcement) In Tulsa, Oklahoma with the precedent set in Jimcy McGirt v. Oklahoma?&nbsp;</p>
  1335.  
  1336.  
  1337.  
  1338. <p>Should NATIVE AMERICAN Law Enforcement Agents (convicted or under investigation) / Police&nbsp; Intelligence Communities with MCDV (Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Crimes) BE AUTHORIZED TO Weaponize/ Carry Firearms/ or Distribute Firearms?</p>
  1339.  
  1340.  
  1341.  
  1342. <p>In 1996, petitioner Jimcy McGirt forcibly raped his wife&#8217;s four-year-old granddaughter at their home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.&nbsp; McGirt was convicted in state court of first-degree rape, lewd molestation and forcible sodomy. &#8230; McGirt did not assert that state courts lacked jurisdiction to convict him. In 2018, McGirt sought post-conviction relief on the grounds that Oklahoma courts lacked jurisdiction over his criminal case because, he claims, he committed his crime on an Indian reservation, and he and his victim are enrolled members of the Seminole Nation.&nbsp;</p>
  1343.  
  1344.  
  1345.  
  1346. <p>Rebecca A. Reid and Todd A. Curry of the&nbsp;</p>
  1347.  
  1348.  
  1349.  
  1350. <p>Washington Post Newspaper, July 29, 2020 at 6:00 AM write that, &#8220;In a 5-to-4 ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma earlier this month, the Supreme Court delivered a decisive legal victory for Native Americans. In a rare move, the court upheld an 1866 treaty between the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and the United States, a treaty that had established the Muscogee Nation’s geographic borders. The court’s decision means that much of eastern Oklahoma remains Indian land today, blocking state authorities from prosecuting First Nations individuals within the boundaries of the Muscogee Nation.&#8221;</p>
  1351.  
  1352.  
  1353.  
  1354. <p>In a case involving treaty rights versus state taxation, the Supreme Court narrowly decided that the Yakama Treaty of 1855 creates a right for tribal members to avoid state taxes on off-reservation commercial activities that make use of public highways. The law in question taxes motor vehicle importers that bring large quantities of fuel into the state by ground transportation.</p>
  1355.  
  1356.  
  1357.  
  1358. <p>The 5-4 decision in the case, Washington State Department of Licensing v. Cougar Den, Inc., affirmed a Washington Supreme Court decision that upheld the tribe’s exemption. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion. The concurring opinion by Gorsuch and Ginsburg concluded that the 1855 treaty guarantees tribal members the right to move their goods to and from the market freely.</p>
  1359.  
  1360.  
  1361.  
  1362. <p>In Herrera v. Wyoming, the Supreme Court held that Wyoming’s statehood did not void the Crow Tribe’s right to hunt on unoccupied lands under an 1868 treaty, and that the Bighorn National Forest did not automatically become “occupied” when the forest was created. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, wrote the majority opinion.</p>
  1363.  
  1364.  
  1365.  
  1366. <p>WHY ARE AFRICAN-AMERICANS/ BLACK PEOPLE In Tulsa, Oklahoma NOW subject to NATIVE-BORN Voice&#8217;s Term&#8217;s as the &#8220;Supreme Interpretive Effect?&#8221;</p>
  1367.  
  1368.  
  1369.  
  1370. <p>Gorsuch has repeatedly said, &#8220;When the Supreme Court is dealing with a tribal treaty, then the court must give effect to the terms as the Indians themselves would have understood them,” as Gorsuch quotes the 1999 Supreme Court decision Minnesota v. Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians, it is &#8220;the way Native Americans understood the promises afforded to the with the treaty&#8217;s that should decided by the interpretation.</p>
  1371.  
  1372.  
  1373.  
  1374. <p>Could Non-United States Native-American Tribunal&#8217;s become the Supreme Interpretive Sanctioning Authorities upheld over African-American Black People?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  1375.  
  1376.  
  1377.  
  1378. <p>Will Native-America Intelligence Police Law Enforcement Agents side with terrorist hate cells in our community?&nbsp;</p>
  1379.  
  1380.  
  1381.  
  1382. <p>Will Native-Americas continue to &#8220;Allow Our People&#8221; to be Executed/ Assassinated/ and Medically Terminated at this rapidly accelerated pace?&nbsp;</p>
  1383.  
  1384.  
  1385.  
  1386. <p>Is it because or money, racism, or indifference?</p>
  1387.  
  1388.  
  1389.  
  1390. <p>African-American People deserve to know.&nbsp; Not another minute of time should be spent ignoring or questioning what we are asking Native American&#8217;s</p>
  1391.  
  1392.  
  1393.  
  1394. <p>We need answers, understandimg and acceptance today.&nbsp; Yes, it is clear.&nbsp; Yes, it is obvious.&nbsp; Yes, time is up For Hate, Disrespect and Deception.</p>

  1427. <p>When addressing the corollary of Unintentional Opioid Abuse &amp; Elderly Driver&#8217;s there is an interesting conundrum. This Mode of Transportation is less stressful because of Cognitive Malfunction. You might think that the common interest lies in the addiction to a substance while on a road trip, but actually it involves the use of public transportation as the Mode of Travel. Using the bus requires various cognitive-behavioral functions as users look at destination routes and fare tables, select routes, decide which bus to board, decide which stop to get off, and execute the disembarkation. In addition, the vibration of the bus appears to lead to the same workload as an automobile. Meanwhile, the high change group for ability to comprehend situations was slightly more satisfied with the bus when pressed with other preoccupations. When riding the bus, unlike when driving an automobile, there is no need to assess traffic conditions; the slightly higher satisfaction level seems to reflect the fact that this ability is not required for bus ride. The same was true for the motion control function, probably because it is easier to get on and off a bus. Do we really want to say, &#8220;It is less stressful to use public transportation when you are high on drugs as the primary selling point?&#8221;</p>

  1435. <p>Are older driver’s ignoring functional limitations?&nbsp; Are countermeasures to deal with functional discrepancies enough in transportation? Is the OPIOID CRISIS a National Pandemic? Has the SINGULARITY EFFECT taken hold of our spirit of benevolence?&nbsp; Can Americans overcome PSYCHIC NUMBING?&nbsp; Is the FALSE SENSE OF EFFICACY to powerful to re-imagine?&nbsp; Most importantly, what about all of our family members impacted by unintentional OPIOID ABUSE/ ADDICTION/ OVERDOSE/ FATALITY?</p>

  1439. <p>Change in visual function is something most noticed by drivers in their 50s who drive infrequently and not for long distances. Drivers in rural areas with generally less need to perform the task of assessing the activity of surrounding traffic may undergo a change with aging in their ability to pay attention to other vehicles. Furthermore, low-mileage drivers may become strongly aware of functional change when they reach their 70s. For high reliance areas, in particular, the score for those in their 70s is significantly higher than that for both those in their 50s and those in their 60s. The observed change with aging in moderate and high reliance areas suggests that driving in a road traffic environment with fewer traffic signals and intersections increases one&#8217;s awareness of change in ability to execute.   </p>

  1442.  
  1443. <p>According to Paul Slovic, Prof. of Psychology, University of Oregon, “We only help others because we feel good about helping until we notice a lot of others we can’t help. Once our minds build a false sense of efficacy, “Attitudes about the situation is that individual efforts don’t mean anything because the situation is so bad.”</p>
  1444.  
  1445.  
  1446.  
  1447. <p class="has-medium-font-size">But are these cognitive changes really that bad Or just peceptual based on Modes of Transporation differences?</p>
  1448.  
  1449.  
  1450.  
  1451. <p>There was little difference in importance by functional change but there were differences in the level of satisfaction in using various transportation modes by degree of functional change. Those cognitive and physical functional changes among the seven functions for which there was a difference are listed below:</p>
  1452.  
  1453.  
  1454.  
  1455. <ul>
  1456. <li>Visual: The high change group was less satisfied with buses, trains, automobiles and bicycles.</li>
  1457.  
  1458.  
  1459.  
  1460. <li>Comprehension: The high change group was less satisfied with bicycles.</li>
  1461.  
  1462.  
  1463.  
  1464. <li>Decision-Making: The high change group was less satisfied with buses.</li>
  1465.  
  1466.  
  1467.  
  1468. <li>Execution: The high change group was less satisfied with buses.</li>
  1469.  
  1470.  
  1471.  
  1472. <li>Workload: The high change group was less satisfied with buses, trains and automobiles.</li>
  1473.  
  1474.  
  1475.  
  1476. <li>Motion Control: The high change group was more satisfied with trains.</li>
  1477. </ul>
  1478.  
  1479.  
  1480.  
  1481. <p>Respondents with a change in the cognitive and physical abilities of visual function, decision-making ability, execution and workload sensitivity were less satisfied to use buses, suggesting that change in such functions has an effect on bus use and thus on attitudes about public transportation.&nbsp;</p>

  1493. <p>Most people only help others because they feel good about helping… until we notice a lot of dire unintentional functional status challenges others can’t help.</p>
  1494.  
  1495.  
  1496.  
  1497. <p>Investigation of the effects of demographic (age and area of residence) and automobile usage characteristics (driving frequency and annual mileage) on the factor scores revealed that cognitive and physical changes depended not only upon age but also on area of residence and automobile usage. From this results, daily driving experience was considered to influence cognitive and physical function. We analyzed the effect of cognitive and physical change on the level of satisfaction in using other modes of transportation from the perspective of elderly mobility. We found that drivers who scored higher for change in automobile driving skills remained satisfied with automobile use but not the use of public buses.

  1522. <p>In the public transportation policy sector, we find some analysis of “on-road performance and naturalistic driving data.”&nbsp; This type of data explores whether participants with poorer driving skills were more likely to limit their overall driving time and/or miles to avoid potentially difficult conditions, or otherwise self-regulate to minimize the propensity of accidents and fatalities.</p>

  1530. <p>To help explain narcotics use and addiction Biomedical scientists specially trained in biology, particularly in the context of medicine and how narcotics impact the human body noted, The Injury Prevention Service at the Oklahoma State Department of Health 2019 reports “Of the approximately 700 unintentional poisoning deaths in Oklahoma each year, seven out of ten involve at least one prescription drug.”</p>

Your lungs and heart are barely working.&nbsp; You foam at the mouth, or choke; Your brain gets permanently damaged. leading to addiction and even death. &nbsp;</p>

  1548.  
  1549.  
  1550. <p>As the elderly population has grown so has the number of elderly automobile users, but the use of automobiles by the elderly has both a positive side and a negative side. On the positive side, automobiles enable the elderly to expand the scope of their lives and lead richer lives. On the negative side, the elderly are involved in accidents whose cause is believed to lie in some functional change of the elderly. Agencies propose counter measures which offset behavioral quirks associated with aging and disease and thereby helping to achieve safe mobility. Transportation policy and automotive technology industry experts gain better understanding of elderly mobility by clarifying the driving capabilities of the elderly. </p>
  1551.  
  1552.  
  1553.  
  1554. <p>Surveys of automobile use by the elderly, such as driving frequency and driving objective, have been conducted in various countries. They reveal that aging leads to reduced driving frequency and distance traveled, more trips to established destinations near the home and less driving at night and in poor weather. Accidents involving the elderly have also been studied. Analysis based on accidents in Japan shows that many accidents occur at intersections and involve a failure to stop, running a red traffic light or interfering with traffic that has the right of way. Accidents are an end result of driving behavior and governed by a variety of factors, so it can be difficult to determine when fault lies with the driver. Therefore, to investigate the relationship between accidents and the mistakes that elderly drivers are aware they make in ordinary driving, Parker, et al. used the Driving Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) developed by Reason, et al. to survey 2,000 people concerning mistakes they made during everyday driving (errors that could lead to an accident and lapses without such a direct link) and their accident experience.&nbsp;</p>

  1777. <p>&#8220;Today, we can use technology to connect with people all over the world.

  1781.  
  1782. <p>The rise of social media and other digital platforms has had a profound impact on society. These platforms have changed the way we communicate, consume information, and interact with the world around us.</p>
  1783.  
  1784.  
  1785.  
  1786. <p>Individuals are more susceptible to online harassment and abuse more than ever before. One of the most troubling consequences of cyber-bullying is the phenomenon of &#8220;cancel culture.&#8221; Cancel culture refers to the practice of publicly shaming and ostracizing individuals who have expressed controversial or unpopular opinions.  Cyber-bullying has become a widespread issue in modern society. </p>
  1787.  
  1788.  
  1789.  
  1790. <p>One of the most significant impacts of social media has been the way we communicate.&nbsp;In the past, people communicated primarily through face-to-face interaction, letters, and phone calls.&nbsp;Today, social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow us to communicate with people all over the world instantly and effortlessly.&nbsp;This has made it easier for us to stay in touch with friends and family, meet new people, and share our thoughts and experiences with others.<br /></p>
  1791.  
  1792.  
  1793.  
  1794. <p>Social media has also changed the way we consume information. In the past, we relied on traditional media outlets like newspapers, television, and radio for news and information. Today, we can get news and information from a variety of sources, including social media. This has made it easier for us to stay informed about current events and to get a variety of perspectives on the news.</p>
  1795.  
  1796.  
  1797.  
  1798. <p>Research has shown that cyber-bullying can lead to cancel culture by creating a conduit for online harassment. When individuals are subjected to persistent and vicious attacks online, they may feel silenced and afraid to express their opinions. This can lead to self-censorship, as people become hesitant to speak out on controversial issues for fear of being targeted by cyber-bullies.<br /><br />To understand the impact of cyber-bullying on cancel culture, it is important to examine the underlying causes of this phenomenon. Many experts argue that cancel culture is driven by a desire to conform to social norms and avoid social ostracism. When individuals are exposed to online harassment and abuse, they may feel pressured to conform to the views of the majority in order to avoid being targeted.</p>

  1807.  
  1808.  
  1809.  
  1810. <p>Social media has also changed the way we interact with the world around us. In the past, we were primarily consumers of information and entertainment. Today, we can also use social media to participate in activism, raise awareness about important issues, and connect with others who share our interests. This has made it easier for us to make a difference in the world and to find a sense of community.</p>

  1821.

  2115. <p>WHAT STANDARDS ARE INCLUDED IN HOUSING SOLUTIONS CONTRACTS CURRENTLY?</p>
  2116.  
  2117.  
  2118.  
  2119. <p>According to the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development 2000, “The explicit nature of the societal contract to meet the housing needs of all is spelled out in the Housing Act of 1949 (42 USC §§ 1441–1490r [1994]), which stipulates the “realization as soon as feasible of the goal of a decent home and suitable living environment for every American family.”&nbsp;</p>
  2120.  
  2121.  
  2122.  
  2123. <p>The Housing Act of 1949 was passed more than a half century ago by different politicians representing a different population.&nbsp; 7% of all households and 15% of all low-income renter households live in units with severe or moderate physical problems (defined as malfunctioning plumbing, heating, or electrical systems, dilapidated public areas, or inadequate maintenance). Moreover, some of these physical deficiencies have serious health consequences, most notably, lead paint poisoning and exposure to pathogens stemming from pests. Not too mention parking issues and privacy problems.</p>

  2136.  
  2137.  
  2138.  
  2139. <p>*The program was operated beset with poor management.</p>
  2140.  
  2141.  
  2142.  
  2143. <p>The program goal was permanent housing for 80% of 342 people who entered the program,</p>
  2144.  
  2145.  
  2146.  
  2147. <p>Only 84 out of 342 people received permanent housing.</p>

  2211. <p>The Homelessness-to-Housing Shelter this winter is scheduled to be at the old Avalon building, 302 W. Archer St.&nbsp; The City of Tulsa has provided Housing Solutions $140,000.00 for the Avalon Hotel-to-Housing Project.&nbsp; During the City Council discussion about the Avalon project some concerns were brought to Becky Gligos attention and then she exclaimed, “That maybe another agency that knows more about operating a homeless shelter should run the Avalon Project.”&nbsp; Ms. Gligo also mentioned that, “Housing Solutions has no intention of operating another Hotel Housing facility and would only subcontract operations to another agency.&nbsp; One City Councilor responded that Housing Solutions employees Tyler Parette received a “Key-To-The City of Tulsa” for his work already accomplished when he removed all of those homeless people from outside during the several days of severe winter conditions with the Hotel-To-Housing low- barrier program.</p>
  2212.  
  2213.  
  2214.  
  2215. <p>The City of Tulsa Housing Plan that is overseen by Housing Solutions used the Housing First Model.&nbsp; Housing Solutions staff was supposed to be trained professionals and accredited by credentials to support expertise based on that training. Moreover, the Housing Solutions staff is geared toward implementation of successful housing placement programs; and geared towards complete supporting authority, to operate with a broad and substantial finance budget.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  2216.  
  2217.  
  2218.  
  2219. <p>The City of Tulsa residents and Community Leaders should not be now wondering what happened at the end of the Housing Solutions Program(s) budget.&nbsp; The Citizens of Tulsa expected and was guaranteed essentially that Housing Solutions was the proper choice conduit to assure expansive measures to eliminate barriers to housing for the homeless in Tulsa, Oklahoma.&nbsp; Barriers such as alcoholism, drug abuse, felony incidents, and other credit problems.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

  2225.  
  2226.  
  2227. <p>The Housing Solutions program is not designed to further commit to unchecked and allowed criminal activities and illicit drug culture events in the City of Tulsa.&nbsp; As a matter of record, the Housing First Model has been successfully utilized in other Mental Health Association of Oklahoma properties.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  2228.  
  2229.  
  2230.  
  2231. <p>The Housing First Model is used statewide in Oklahoma and achieves success with the right properties, trained professionals and varied housing opportunities available.&nbsp; The Housing Solutions Hotel-to-Housing Initiative has so far been a complete failure and no one in leadership can explain why.&nbsp; The only reasonable explanations that Housing Solutions could come up with were:&nbsp; &#8220;There were not enough vacant properties or housing spaces in the entire City of Tulsa, Oklahoma.&#8221;</p>

  2243. <p>After all of the photographs, videos and other violation reports were presented as fact based evidence it is very difficult to believe that Housing Solutions is still now qualified to operate housing programs for the City of Tulsa.  Everyday people in Tulsa, Oklahoma take notice of the graphic and widening expansive impact of homelessness in our community.  Each person that drives, bikes, jogs, or walks by another homeless person in-plight notices the despair of another human-life in trouble.  Simply put, “Even after all things known about the causes of homeless have been seen, read and heard; studied and researched, the credited experts in supporting positions of authority still feel like they are only puppets to the system of monetary rewards.</p>

  2430. <p><strong>Chapter 1: The Discovery of the Treasure Map</strong></p>
  2431.  
  2432.  
  2433.  
  2434. <p>Isabella Rodriguez, an intrepid adventurer, set out on a perilous journey to uncover the legendary treasure of the Aztecs. Isabella Rodriguez was a stunning sight to behold. Her deep brown eyes glistened with determination and resilience, and her long, dark hair was tied back in a practical braid that cascaded down her back. Her skin was a warm, sun-kissed hue, and her features were sharp and angular, giving her an air of both strength and beauty.</p>
  2435.  
  2436.  
  2437.  
  2438. <p>She wore a sturdy pair of hiking timberland boots that had seen their fair share of adventures, and her cargo pants and long-sleeved shirt were both practical and comfortable. Her backpack was filled with all the essentials she would need for her journey, and a machete hung from her belt, ready for any obstacles in her path.</p>
  2439.  
  2440.  
  2441.  
  2442. <p>Despite her rugged appearance, there was an unmistakable grace and elegance in the way she moved. Her every step was filled with purpose and determination, and her eyes were always scanning her surroundings, taking in every detail and anticipating any danger that might arise.</p>
  2443.  
  2444.  
  2445.  
  2446. <p><br />Isabella was a woman on a mission, and her appearance reflected her unwavering commitment to her goal. Her beauty was not just skin-deep but emanated from within, rooted in her unbreakable spirit and her fearless determination to succeed with her backpack tightly strapped and her heart filled with determination, she ventured deep into the lush and treacherous jungle. Her quest was not merely for riches, but to unravel the secrets of a long-lost civilization.<br /><br />Isabella and Diego were on a mission to find the treasure of the Aztecs, and they knew that Professor Martinez&#8217;s treasure map was their best bet. They had already traveled to the jungle, faced numerous obstacles and dangers, and had finally reached the temple. But they still needed to decipher the map to locate the treasure.<br /><br />They went back to Professor Martinez&#8217;s office at the museum in Mexico City, where they had first learned about the treasure. The professor was waiting for them, and he greeted them warmly.<br /><br />&#8220;Ah, Isabella and Diego, I see you&#8217;ve returned,&#8221; he said, smiling. &#8220;Did you find what you were looking for?&#8221;<br /><br />&#8220;Not yet, Professor,&#8221; Isabella replied. &#8220;We need your help with the treasure map.&#8221;<br /><br />&#8220;Of course, my dear,&#8221; said Professor Martinez. He pulled out a large parchment, filled with intricate symbols and drawings. &#8220;This is the treasure map that I&#8217;ve been studying for years. It&#8217;s not easy to decipher, but with my knowledge of the Aztec culture, I&#8217;ve been able to make some progress.&#8221;<br /><br />He showed them the map, pointing to various symbols and explaining their meanings. Isabella and Diego listened intently, amazed at the level of detail and complexity.<br /><br />&#8220;According to the map, the treasure is hidden in a secret chamber deep within the temple,&#8221; said Professor Martinez. &#8220;But the chamber is protected by a series of puzzles and traps, designed to keep intruders out.&#8221;<br /><br />Isabella and Diego exchanged a look, realizing that their journey was far from over. But they were determined to solve the puzzles and claim the treasure.</p>
  2447.  
  2448.  
  2449.  
  2450. <p>While briefly gazing at the Map, but also keenly perceptive to Diego&#8217;s presence Isabella remembered the evening she encountered a rugged and handsome stranger named Diego. Isabella has a voice that&#8217;s firm and confident, conveying a sense of purpose and resolve.</p>
  2451.  
  2452.  
  2453.  
  2454. <p>Diego was tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular build. His body suggested he was no stranger to physical activity. His skin was warm, and caramel- bronze sort of and leathery; hinting at a life spent outdoors. His dark brown hair was always tousled and unkempt as if he had just emerged from a long journey through the jungle.&nbsp; He had a rugged brown beard, giving him an air of both sophistication and danger. His eyes were coal-black and rounded, but piercing and intense, His reflective gaze made Isabella assume he held a deeper understanding of the world around him. </p>
  2455.  
  2456.  
  2457.  
  2458. <p>Diego always dressed in functional clothing, most likely a khaki sturdy cargo pants and long-sleeved shirts.&nbsp; Most of Diego&#8217;s clothes had seen their fair share of adventures. His size 15 timberland boots were well-worn, but still sturdy enough to carry him through even the most treacherous terrain.</p>
  2459.  
  2460.  
  2461.  
  2462. <p>While introducing herself Isabella spoke to Diego– struck by his deep voice, which conveyed a sense of authority and experience. She also noticed his strict flexible gait. He moved, with grace that suggested he was comfortable in his own skin and at ease in the world around him. Isabella recognized that he was a man of experience, who had seen the world and was comfortable in challenging environments.</p>
  2463.  
  2464.  
  2465.  
  2466. <p>Diego stood before Isabella. His raucous tamor–and rugged beard gives him a sense of sophistication and danger. As he began to speak, his deep voice conveyed a sense of authority and experience.</p>
  2467.  
  2468.  
  2469.  
  2470. <p>“I’m on a mission,” he said, his stared focus locked onto Isabella’s eyes. “I’m searching for a lost temple deep in the heart of the jungle. It’s said to hold a secret that could change the course of history.”</p>
  2471.  
  2472.  
  2473.  
  2474. <p>Isabella was intrigued. She could see determination and resolve in Diego’s eyes, and she knew that he was a man on a mission. Something in his voice stirred something deep within her, and she found herself drawn to him, despite the danger that lay ahead.<br /><br />They spent the next few hours studying the map, trying to make sense of the symbols and decipher the puzzles. It was a challenging task, but they were fueled by their enthusiasm and devotion.<br /><br />While working, they discovered new clues and insights, each one leading them closer to the treasure on the Treasure Quest Map. They found hidden messages, secret codes, and even a hidden compartment in the map itself.</p>
  2475.  
  2476.  
  2477.  
  2478. <p>Once again, Isabella couldn&#8217;t help thinking about when she first met Diego.&nbsp; His smell often triggered something within her.&nbsp; Isabella vividly remembered Diego explaining that he had been searching for the temple for months, battling through the jungle.&nbsp; He had come close to giving up many times, but something inside him had kept him going.</p>
  2479.  
  2480.  
  2481.  
  2482. <p>Despite the danger that lay ahead, Isabella could see the same determination and resolve in Diego that she felt within herself. They were two kindred spirits, united by a sense of purpose and a shared desire to uncover the secrets of the past.</p>
  2483.  
  2484.  
  2485.  
  2486. <p>After hours of intense study and analysis, they felt they had cracked the final puzzle and would be able to unlock the secret chamber. <br /></p>
  2487.  
  2488.  
  2489.  
  2490. <p>Professor Martinez&#8217;s lost Aztec Treasure Quest Map was a cryptogram, meaning it was a message written in code. The code was based on the Aztec calendar, and each symbol on the map represented a different day of the year.<br /><br />To decipher the map, Isabella and Diego had to first figure out which symbols corresponded to which days of the year. They did this by studying the Aztec calendar and comparing it to the symbols on the map.<br /><br />Once they had figured out the code, Isabella and Diego were able to read the map and follow the directions to the treasure.&nbsp; The treasure would be hidden in a cave in the mountains.<br /><br />Inside, the Treasure Quest Map claimed&nbsp; they would find a treasure beyond their wildest dreams: gold, jewels, and artifacts from the ancient Aztec civilization.<br /><br />&#8220;Amazing,&#8221; said Isabella, gazing at the treasure quest map in awe.<br /><br />&#8220;Truly remarkable,&#8221; agreed Diego.<br /><br />&#8220;And it&#8217;s all thanks to you, Professor,&#8221; said Isabella, turning to him with gratitude.<br /><br />&#8220;It was my pleasure, my dear,&#8221; said Professor Martinez. &#8220;I&#8217;m glad I could help you on your quest.&#8221;<br /><br />Isabella and Diego left the museum, feeling elated and satisfied. Symbolically, they had found the treasure, but more importantly, they had discovered the power of knowledge, determination, and teamwork. They knew that their adventure would change them forever, and that they would always cherish the memories of their journey.</p>

  2498. <p><strong>Chapter 2: Embarking on the Quest</strong></p>
  2499.  
  2500.  
  2501.  
  2502. <p>It wasn&#8217;t long before the two formed an unwavering partnership, determined to support one another on their respective missions.&nbsp;</p>
  2503.  
  2504.  
  2505.  
  2506. <p>Isabella and Diego had already faced their fair share of challenges on their journey to the lost temple. On an earlier mission, they had fought side by side against local hooligans who had tried to steal their supplies. The two friends had used their wits and strength to fend off the attackers, emerging victorious but bruised and battered.</p>
  2507.  
  2508.  
  2509.  
  2510. <p>Isabella and Diego journeyed deeper into the jungle.&nbsp; Their relationship blossomed into an unexpected romance, but they were very careful.</p>
  2511.  
  2512.  
  2513.  
  2514. <p>Together, they faced the challenges that lay ahead, united in their quest for knowledge and adventure. Their partnership was a testament to the power of purpose, the strength of the human spirit, and aesthetics.&nbsp; Their kindred souls united in a common purpose. As the duo journeyed further into the jungle, they knew that their love could be a liability in their quest for the treasure.</p>
  2515.  
  2516.  
  2517.  
  2518. <p>Isabella and Diego exchanged a worried glance. &#8220;What makes it so dangerous?&#8221; Isabella asked.</p>
  2519.  
  2520.  
  2521.  
  2522. <p>Professor Martinez&#8217;s eyes grew serious. &#8220;Legend has it that the temple is guarded by the ghost of the Aztec Emperor himself. Only those who are worthy can claim the treasure that lies within.&#8221;</p>
  2523.  
  2524.  
  2525.  
  2526. <p>As they continued their journey, they encountered unpredictable terrain that made their progress slow and treacherous. The jungle was full of hidden dangers, from treacherous quicksand pits to sharp thorns that could rip through clothing and skin.<br /><br />Ferocious animals lurked around every corner, ready to pounce at any moment. Isabella and Diego had to be constantly on guard, scanning the jungle for any sign of danger. They had encountered snakes that slithered across their path, jaguars that prowled through the underbrush, and monkeys that chattered and screeched from the treetops.<br /><br />But perhaps the greatest danger came from their rival treasure hunters. These greedy individuals were willing to do whatever it took to claim the treasure for themselves, including sabotage, theft, and even violence.<br /><br />Isabella and Diego had encountered them several times on their journey, engaging in tense standoffs and fierce battles. The rival treasure hunters were a cunning and ruthless bunch, but Isabella and Diego were determined to outsmart them at every turn.<br /><br />Despite the challenges, Isabella and Diego remained undaunted. They knew that their quest was not just about finding treasure, but about uncovering the secrets of a long-lost civilization. They were driven by their passion and curiosity, and they were willing to risk everything to achieve their goal.<br /><br />As they trudged through the jungle, sometimes waist-deep in mud or wading through rivers, they bantered and joked to keep each other&#8217;s spirits up. They shared stories of their lives back home, their hopes, and their dreams, all while keeping a watchful eye out for danger.<br /><br />And through it all, they knew that they had each other&#8217;s backs. They were a team, united in their quest for adventure and discovery. They would face whatever challenges lay ahead, together, fighting side by side against all odds.</p>
  2527.  
  2528.  
  2529.  
  2530. <p>Isabella and Diego exchanged a focused look. &#8220;We&#8217;re up for the challenge,&#8221; Diego said.</p>
  2531.  
  2532.  
  2533.  
  2534. <p>Isabella and Diego came from vastly different educational backgrounds, but their shared sense of adventure and determination brought them closer together.</p>
  2535.  
  2536.  
  2537.  
  2538. <p>Isabella had grown up in a family of academics, with both of her parents being professors of anthropology. She had spent her childhood immersed in books, learning about different cultures and civilizations from around the world.</p>
  2539.  
  2540.  
  2541.  
  2542. <p>Diego, on the other hand, had grown up on the streets, learning about the world through his own experiences. He had never had the opportunity for formal education, instead relying on his wits and his instincts to survive. Despite their differences, the two found that they had much in common, including a deep sense of curiosity and a desire to explore the world around them.</p>
  2543.  
  2544.  
  2545.  
  2546. <p>Professor Martinez smiled. &#8220;I can see that you are up for the challenge. I may be able to help you on your quest. I have studied the Aztecs for many years and have a good idea of where the temple might be located.&#8221;. Professor Martinez exclaimed, “ I may even be able to go on your adventure, time permitting.”</p>
  2547.  
  2548.  
  2549.  
  2550. <p>Isabella and Diego were thrilled. They eagerly listened as Professor Martinez shared his knowledge with them, explaining the history and culture of the Aztecs and the significance of the lost temple.</p>
  2551.

  2553.  
  2554. <p>As their relationship deepened, Isabella and Diego found that they were highly compatible in many ways. They shared a deep passion for adventure, a commitment to their respective missions, and an unwavering sense of determination that kept them going even in the face of danger.&nbsp; However, they also came from very different social and geographic backgrounds, which sometimes created challenges in their relationship. Isabella was from a privileged academic family, accustomed to a certain level of comfort and familiarity. Diego, on the other hand, had grown up in poverty and was more accustomed to life on the streets.</p>
  2555.  
  2556.  
  2557.  
  2558. <p>By the time they left the museum, Isabella and Diego were filled with excitement and determination. They were ready to embark on their quest, armed with knowledge and a burning desire to uncover the secrets of the lost temple.</p>
  2559.  
  2560.  
  2561.  
  2562. <p>As they made their way through the bustling streets of Mexico City, they discussed their plans. They would travel deep into the jungle, facing many dangers along the way. But they were determined to succeed, no matter what it took.</p>
  2563.  
  2564.  
  2565.  
  2566. <p>Their different upbringings sometimes created tensions in their relationship, as they struggled to bridge the gap between their two worlds. Isabella sometimes found it difficult to relate to Diego’s experiences, while Diego sometimes felt out of place in Isabella’s world of academic pursuits and intellectual conversations.</p>
  2567.  
  2568.  
  2569.  
  2570. <p>The next day, they set out on their journey, venturing deep into the heart of the jungle. The further they went, the more challenging the terrain became, with steep hills, dense foliage, and winding rivers. But they pressed on, driven by their passion and determination.</p>
  2571.  
  2572.  
  2573.  
  2574. <p>Days turned into weeks as they journeyed deeper and deeper into the jungle. They encountered dangerous animals, including snakes and jaguars, and had to use all their skills to avoid them. They also faced tricky puzzles and obstacles that tested their strength and ingenuity.</p>
  2575.  
  2576.  
  2577.  
  2578. <p>At times, they were tempted to give up and turn back. But their determination and love for each other kept them going, pushing them forward towards their ultimate goal.</p>
  2579.  
  2580.  
  2581.  
  2582. <p>Despite these challenges, however, Isabella and Diego’s love for each other remained strong. They recognized that their differences were part of what made their relationship so special, and they worked hard to understand and appreciate each other’s perspectives. They found a shared sense of adventure and a deeper love for each other making it easier to overcome obstacles they faced.</p>
  2583.  
  2584.  
  2585.  
  2586. <p>Many long weeks of travel had passed and they reached a temple. It loomed before them, massive and imposing, with stairs leading up to the entrance.</p>
  2587.  
  2588.  
  2589.  
  2590. <p>Isabella and Diego exchanged a determined look, then began to ascend the stairs. They knew that this was the moment they had been waiting for &#8211; the moment when they would face the Aztec Emperor and prove their worthiness to claim the treasure.</p>
  2591.  
  2592.  
  2593.  
  2594. <p>Their primary focus was to stay sharp and vigilant at all times. Diego slowly began to truly understand the depth of Isabella’s character. He could see the unwavering commitment to her goals and the unbreakable spirit that drives her forward, no matter the obstacles in her path. Diego started to develop feelings that they both would be inspired by her fearless determination to succeed.</p>
  2595.  
  2596.  
  2597.  
  2598. <p>As they reached the top of the stairs, they stood before the entrance to the temple. They took a deep breath, then stepped inside, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.</p>

  2607.  
  2608.  
  2609.  
  2610. <p>Isabella Rodriguez had always been a practical and grounded person, but after spending more time with Diego, she found herself swept up in a romantic dream that would change the course of their love.</p>
  2611.  
  2612.  
  2613.  
  2614. <p>One night, as Isabella fell asleep in Diego’s arms, she had a vivid dream about Diego. In the dream, they were back in the jungle, surrounded by lush forest greens and the sounds of exotic birds. The air was thick with humidity, and the sun was setting in a fiery blaze of orange and red.<br />Diego turned to Isabella and took her hand, pulling her close to him. Without a word, he leaned in and kissed her, his lips soft and gentle against hers. At that moment, Isabella knew that she was in love with him and that she wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of her life with him.</p>
  2615.  
  2616.  
  2617.  
  2618. <p>When she awoke, Isabella was unsure what to make of the dream. She had never been one for flights of fancy, but the intensity of her feelings for Diego had overwhelmed her in a way she had never experienced before. She knew that she had to tell him how she felt.</p>
  2619.  
  2620.  
  2621.  
  2622. <p>As they talked, Isabella revealed her dream to Diego. His eyes widened with surprise, but then a smile slowly spread across his face. “I’ve been dreaming about you too,” he said. “I think we’re meant to be together.”</p>
  2623.  
  2624.  
  2625.  
  2626. <p>From that moment on, their love for each other grew stronger with each passing day. They faced numerous challenges and obstacles, but their love for each other was the anchor that kept them grounded. Isabella’s dream had been a turning point for their love, a moment when they both realized that they were meant to be together. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful force in the world is the simple, unbridled power of love.</p>
  2627.  
  2628.  
  2629.  
  2630. <p>Diego’s dream was a turning point for him as well. It helped him to understand Isabella on a deeper level, and it made him more vigilant and powerful in his pursuit of their shared goals.</p>
  2631.  
  2632.  
  2633.  
  2634. <p>In his dream, Diego saw Isabella as a fearless battle warrior, abounding nature and overcoming every obstacle in her path. He saw her strength, her courage, and her passion. He saw her as a kindred spirit, someone who shared his keen sense of adventure and his desire to uncover the mysteries of the past.</p>
  2635.  
  2636.  
  2637.  
  2638. <p>When he woke up, Diego knew that Isabella was the one for him. He felt a deep sense of connection to her, and he knew that their love was something special. He also knew that he had to be there for her, to support her in her journey, and to help her overcome any obstacles that might arise to make Isabella feel protected.</p>
  2639.  
  2640.  
  2641.  
  2642. <p>As a result, Diego became more vigilant and powerful in his pursuit of their shared goals. He redoubled his efforts to find the lost temple, spending long hours strength training; running; pouring over maps; and scouting out potential locations. He also became more protective of Isabella, making sure that she was always safe and well-kept.</p>
  2643.  
  2644.  
  2645.  
  2646. <p>Diego’s dream helped him to see Isabella in a new light, and it gave him the motivation and inspiration he needed to be the best version of himself. With Isabella by his side, he felt invincible, ready to face any challenge that might come their way. Together, they were an unstoppable force, united by their love and their shared sense of purpose.</p>

  2655.  
  2656.  
  2657.  
  2658. <p>Isabella and Diego&#8217;s Aztec Treasure Quest took them deep into the heart of the jungle, where they faced many challenges and dangers. The lush jungle canopy stretched out before them, seeming like an impenetrable barrier of green. The air was thick with humidity, and the only sound was the chirping of birds and the occasional rustle of leaves. But they didn&#8217;t let the seemingly harsh environment deter them from their mission. Instead, they took a deep breath and started to climb.<br /><br />The climb was difficult and dangerous, with tall trees and slippery branches. They had to be careful not to fall, or they would be impaled on the thorns that grew everywhere. They also had to watch out for snakes and other dangerous creatures. But they persevered, fueled by their determination to unravel the secrets of a long-lost civilization.<br /><br />After what seemed like an eternity, they finally reached the top of the canopy. The view was breathtaking. They could see for miles in every direction, and the jungle below them was a sea of green. They took a moment to enjoy the view, then started to explore.<br /><br />The jungle was even more treacherous than they had imagined. The trees were so thick that the sunlight barely reached the ground. The air was filled with the sound of insects, and they could see snakes and lizards slithering through the underbrush. They had to be careful where they stepped, or they would be bitten or stung.<br /><br />Despite the dangers, they walked for hours and saw many amazing things. They saw trees that were hundreds of years old, and they saw flowers that were bigger than their heads. They saw monkeys swinging through the trees, and they saw birds of all shapes and sizes. They even saw a jaguar, but it ran away before they could get a good look at it.<br /><br />As the sun started to set, they knew that they had to find a place to sleep. They found a small clearing in the jungle and made a bed out of leaves and branches. They were tired and hungry, but also happy. They had had an amazing day, and they had seen things that most people never see.<br /><br />They closed their eyes and listened to the sounds of the jungle. They could hear the crickets chirping, the frogs croaking, and the monkeys howling. They knew that they were in a dangerous place, but they also knew that they were in a beautiful place. They smiled and drifted off to sleep, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.</p>
  2659.  
  2660.  
  2661.  
  2662. <p>With the aid of Professor Martinez, they uncovered clues that led them closer to their goal, they found themselves stalked by a band of ruthless treasure hunters. The danger was palpable, but Isabella and Diego refused to be deterred. With their love as their guide, they forged ahead, determined to emerge victorious.</p>
  2663.  
  2664.  
  2665.  
  2666. <p>The savage band of ruthless treasure hunters was a force to be reckoned with. They were a group of hardened men and women, driven by greed and a thirst for power. They had no qualms about using violence and intimidation to get what they wanted, and they had a fearsome reputation for leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.</p>
  2667.  
  2668.  
  2669.  
  2670. <p>Their leader, a little person, but an imposing sturdy figure with a scar running down the side of his head was particularly ruthless. He had a cold, calculating gaze that seemed to pierce through the soul, and a voice that dripped with malice and contempt.</p>
  2671.  
  2672.  
  2673.  
  2674. <p>The danger was palpable when Isabella and Diego encountered the treasure hunters because they had recently gone to the Aztec Temple to bravely face the fearsome guardian &#8211; the Aztec Emperor.</p>
  2675.  
  2676.  
  2677.  
  2678. <p>The Aztec Emperor&#8217;s ghostly figure, with his towering height and piercing eyes, stands guard over the treasure, his spectral form shimmering in the dim light. Many have tried to conquer the Aztec Emperor, but few have succeeded. The battle to capture the mystic treasure is an epic one, filled with danger, suspense, and heart-pumping action. </p>
  2679.  
  2680.  
  2681.  
  2682. <p>The brave souls who dare to face the Emperor must be prepared to fight with all their might, for he is a formidable foe. As the battle rages on, the Emperor&#8217;s ghostly powers come to life, as he summons the spirits of the temple to aid him in his defense. But the treasure hunters are not easily deterred, and they fight back with all the weapons and skills at their disposal. The clash between the treasure hunters and the Aztec Emperor is a battle for the ages, a titanic struggle between good and evil, with the fate of the treasure hanging in the balance. Who emerged victorious &#8211; the brave treasure hunters or the ghostly Emperor? </p>
  2683.  
  2684.  
  2685.  
  2686. <p>Obviously, the band of savage treasure hunters had casualties that lived to tell about the battle with the Aztec Emperor. They had been lulled into a false sense of security, thinking that they were the only ones searching for the lost temple. But as they delved deeper into the jungle, they began to realize that they were not alone. Diego, Isabella, Professor Martinez, and the treasure hunters seemed to be everywhere, flowing in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to strike their opponents. Isabella and Diego knew that they had to be on their guard at all times, ready for any attack that might come their way.</p>
  2687.  
  2688.  
  2689.  
  2690. <p>Despite their fearsome reputation, however, the treasure hunters were not invincible. Isabella and Diego were able to outsmart them, using their wits and their deep knowledge of the jungle to evade their pursuers and uncover the secrets of the past. The encounter with the treasure hunters had been a sobering reminder of the dangers that lay ahead. Isabella and Diego had learned not to take anything for granted and to remain vigilant at all times. But they had also learned that even in the face of great danger, they were stronger together than they were alone.</p>

  2701.  
  2702. <p>Diego and Isabella were resourceful and determined adventurers, and they knew that they needed the right tools to survive the dangers that lay ahead. As they journeyed deeper into the jungle, they forged an arsenal of weapons that would help them overcome any obstacle.</p>
  2703.  
  2704.  
  2705.  
  2706. <p>Their arsenal included a variety of tools and weapons, each with its own purpose and function. They had machetes, which they used to hack through dense thickets and clear paths through the jungle. Their machetes were sharp and sturdy, able to cut through even the thickest vines and branches.</p>
  2707.  
  2708.  
  2709.  
  2710. <p>They also had bows and arrows, which they used to hunt for food and defend themselves against predators. Their arrows were tipped with sharp, barbed heads that could penetrate even the toughest hide, and their bows were made from strong, flexible wood that allowed for maximum accuracy and power.</p>
  2711.  
  2712.  
  2713.  
  2714. <p>In addition to their bows and arrows, Diego and Isabella had spears that they used for hunting and for self-defense. Their spears were long and sturdy, with sharp, pointed heads that could pierce through even the toughest armor.</p>
  2715.  
  2716.  
  2717.  
  2718. <p>They also had blowguns, which they used to shoot small darts at their enemies. Their blowguns were made from bamboo, and their darts were coated with a variety of poisons that could incapacitate even the strongest opponent.</p>
  2719.  
  2720.  
  2721.  
  2722. <p>They had a variety of traps and snares that they used to catch animals for food and to defend themselves against predators. Their traps were ingeniously crafted, using materials found in the jungle to create complex mechanisms that could ensnare even the most elusive prey.</p>
  2723.  
  2724.  
  2725.  
  2726. <p>Together, Diego and Isabella’s arsenal of weapons was a testament to their ingenuity and resourcefulness. They had crafted each tool and weapon themselves, with care and precision, and they knew how to use each one to its fullest potential. With their arsenal at the ready, they were prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead, confident in their ability to overcome any obstacle or attack.</p>
  2727.  
  2728.  
  2729.  
  2730. <p>Foraging deeper into the heart of the jungle, they encountered a series of symbols and signs that left them confused and disheartened. The symbols were ancient and intricate, etched into the walls of caves and on trees. They seemed to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the past.<br />At first, Diego and Isabella were excited by the discovery of these symbols. They spent long hours studying them, trying to decipher their meanings and understand their significance. But as they worked harder, they realized that the symbols were more complex than they had initially thought.</p>
  2731.  
  2732.  
  2733.  
  2734. <p>The signs seemed to be telling a story, but it was a story that was fragmented and difficult to piece together. They could see images of battles and wars, of great leaders and heroes, but the meaning behind these images remained elusive.</p>
  2735.  
  2736.  
  2737.  
  2738. <p>As they struggled to understand the symbols, Diego and Isabella began to lose hope. They had come so far, and yet they felt as though they were no closer to uncovering the secrets they sought. They began to wonder if they had been chasing a dream if the lost temple and the powerful artifact that lay within were nothing more than a myth.</p>
  2739.  
  2740.  
  2741.  
  2742. <p>But as they sat together, staring at the symbols in despair, something miraculous happened. They realized it was a puzzle, and they resolved to solve it together. With renewed determination, Diego and Isabella continued to study the symbols. They worked tirelessly, piecing together the fragments of the story until it began to take shape. And in the end, their hard work paid off. They were able to unlock the secrets of the past, uncovering a treasure trove of knowledge that would change the course of their mission.</p>

  2754. <p>Inching closer to their destination, the pair discovered that the treasure they sought was not just a hoard of gold and jewels, but a powerful artifact that could grant wishes.</p>
  2755.  
  2756.  
  2757.  
  2758. <p>The powerful artifact that Isabella and Diego sought was a wondrous and mysterious object that was said to have the power to grant wishes. Its origins were shrouded in mystery, but it was believed to have been created by the Aztecs, a long-lost civilization that had once ruled over the land.</p>
  2759.  
  2760.  
  2761.  
  2762. <p>The artifact was a small, intricately crafted box made from a rare and precious metal that glimmered in the light. Its surface was etched with intricate designs and symbols that seemed to pulse with a strange and otherworldly energy.</p>
  2763.  
  2764.  
  2765.  
  2766. <p>Isabella and Diego held the artifact in their hands and could feel its power coursing through their veins. They knew that it was not just any ordinary box, but a powerful talisman that could grant them anything they wished. However, they also knew that the artifact was dangerous. Its power was so great that it could easily corrupt even the purest of intentions, and they knew that they had to be careful when using it.</p>
  2767.  
  2768.  
  2769.  
  2770. <p>Despite the risks, Isabella and Diego were determined to keep the artifact out of the hands of the treasure hunters. They knew that in the wrong hands, it could be used for evil, and they were determined to keep it safe.</p>
  2771.  
  2772.  
  2773.  
  2774. <p>They wanted to use the artifact for good, using its power to help others and to make the world a better place. They knew that they had been given a great gift, and they were determined to use it wisely. The artifact was a reminder that sometimes, the greatest power in the world is not found in riches or treasure, but in the ability to make a difference in the lives of others. The stakes were raised, and their mission became even more perilous.</p>
  2775.  
  2776.  
  2777.  
  2778. <p>With their lives hanging in the balance, Isabella and Diego had to make a fateful decision – to pursue their hearts or the treasure. After some contemplation, they decided to follow both. They outsmarted the treasure hunters and secured the treasure, all the while keeping their love for each other alive.</p>
  2779.  
  2780.  
  2781.  
  2782. <p>Emerging from the jungle victorious, they knew that they had uncovered something far more valuable than any treasure – a deep and abiding love that would endure the test of time. Their journey was a testament to the human spirit, the power of love, and the thrill of adventure.</p>

  2795.  
  2796.  
  2797.  
  2798. <p>The Emperor welcomed them and presented them with the first challenge. Isabella stepped forward and lifted a heavy stone with ease, while Diego solved a set of complex puzzles. They moved on to the next challenge, where Isabella completed a challenging obstacle course, while Diego used his mental agility to solve a series of riddles.</p>
  2799.

You must make a selfless choice that proves your worthiness.&#8221; Isabella and Diego looked at each other, knowing that this would be the most difficult challenge yet.</p>
  2803.  
  2804.  
  2805.  
  2806. <p>They were presented with two paths &#8211; one that led to the treasure, and one that led to a dangerous trap. Isabella and Diego looked at each other and knew what they had to do. They both chose the path that led to the trap, sacrificing their own chance to claim the treasure to prevent others from falling into harm&#8217;s way.</p>

  2895. <p>It&#8217;s true that we all have our own preferences when it comes to transportation, but let&#8217;s face it- at some point or another, we all become pedestrians. The good news is that when drivers prioritize safety by maintaining appropriate speeds and following safe driving practices, it creates a safer walking environment for everyone in the community &#8211; including you and your loved ones. So let&#8217;s work together to make our communities safer for everyone!</p>

  2919. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Use designated crossings</strong></h2>
  2920.  
  2921.  
  2922.  
  2923. <p>First and foremost, it is essential to understand what we mean when we refer to&nbsp; a pedestrian crosswalk.&nbsp; A crosswalk is a designated area for pedestrians to cross the street. Crosswalks can be marked or unmarked, but they are generally identifiable by painted lines or other markings on the pavement. It is important to note that pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, but they must still exercise caution and follow certain safety guidelines.</p>
  2924.  
  2925.  
  2926.  
  2927. <p>One of the most important crosswalk safety tips is to always use a designated crosswalk when crossing the street. Pedestrians should avoid crossing the street in the middle of the block or between parked cars, as this can be dangerous and increase the risk of an accident. Instead, pedestrians should look for a nearby crosswalk and use it to cross the street safely.</p>

  2936.  
  2937.  
  2938.  
  2939. <p>Another important crosswalk safety tip is to make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street. Pedestrians should not assume that drivers will stop for them, even if they are in a marked crosswalk. Making eye contact with drivers can help ensure that they see the pedestrians and are aware of their presence.</p>

  2946.  
  2947. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Be careful. Walk.&nbsp;Don&#8217;t run</strong></h2>
  2948.  
  2949.  
  2950.  
  2951. <p>When crossing the street, pedestrians should always walk, never run. Running can increase the risk of tripping or falling, which can be dangerous, especially in busy areas. Additionally, pedestrians should avoid using their cell phones or other electronic devices while crossing the street, as this can distract them and increase the risk of an accident.</p>

  3122. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  3123. <p>The FFY 2024 – 2027 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was prepared by INCOG, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Tulsa Transportation Management Area (TMA), under the guidance of the Transportation Policy Committee (TPC) and the Transportation Technical Committee (TTC). It represents a cooperative effort between INCOG and its member governments in the Tulsa area, The Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority (MTTA), and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).<br /><br />The TIP is like a to-do list for transportation projects that need to get done within the next four years. It’s also used to make sure we’re on track with our transportation plans for the area. Anything on the TIP needs to match up with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Major Street and Highway Plan (MSHP), so we can make progress towards our overall transportation goals. The TIP is intended to provide technical information that transportation professionals use in a format that is understandable by anyone interested in surface transportation improvements in the region.<br /><br />So, Tulsa is growing and changing all the time, right? And as it changes, we need to keep up by improving our transportation system. Good roads and transportation have always been super important for businesses, homes, and everything in between. And let’s face it, we all rely on transportation to get around and live our lives. If we want Tulsa to stay awesome and compete on a bigger scale, we need to make sure our transportation system is top-notch. That’s the only way we can keep living our best lives!<br /><br />The FFY 2024 – 2027 Transportation Improvement Program (aka TIP) is all about making some major upgrades to the transportation system in Tulsa. They’re planning on using federal funds to improve things like streets, highways, public transportation, bike paths, and even airports! And it’s not just about building new stuff – they’re also looking at ways to make existing transportation options more efficient and effective. Plus, they’re making sure to keep Tulsa’s “clean air” status in mind when choosing which projects to prioritize. Sounds like some pretty important stuff, huh?<br /><br />The TIP is like a to-do list for transportation projects that need to get done within the next four years. It’s also used to make sure we’re on track with our transportation plans for the area. Anything on the TIP needs to match up with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Major Street and Highway Plan (MSHP), so we can make progress towards our overall transportation goals.</p>

  3152. <p>Tulsa, Oklahoma District 5 City Councilman Grant Miller has been the subject of controversy recently, with highly-esteemed and honored Tulsa City Mayor G.T. Bynum questioned his fitness to be a City Councilor.&nbsp;Grant Miller is a member of the Tulsa City Council in Oklahoma, representing District 5. He assumed office on December 5, 2022. His current term ends on December 2, 2024.&nbsp; In a scathing job performance review after Bynum&#8217;s Testimony:&nbsp; Dan Potter asked Mayor Bynum flat out, &#8220;Is Grant Miller unfit to be a City Councilor.&nbsp; Yes, and the Mayor didn&#8217;t stop there with Grant Miller.&#8221;</p>

  3267. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  3268. <p>Pedestrian safety is a critical issue that affects everyone, regardless of age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 6,000 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in 2019, and another 137,000 were treated in emergency departments for nonfatal injuries. To help address this issue, Safe Kids Worldwide has developed a lesson plan for high school students that aims to educate them on pedestrian safety.</p>
  3269.  
  3270.  
  3271.  
  3272. <p>The lesson plan, available on the Safe Kids Worldwide website, is designed to be used in a classroom setting and has several key objectives. Firstly, it aims to provide students with an understanding of the risks associated with pedestrian travel. Secondly, it aims to teach students how to properly cross the street and use pedestrian crossings. Finally, it aims to encourage students to adopt safe pedestrian behaviors.</p>
  3273.  
  3274.  
  3275.  
  3276. <p>The lesson plan is divided into three sections: pre-lesson activities, the lesson itself, and post-lesson activities. The pre-lesson activities are designed to get students thinking about pedestrian safety and include a pre-assessment quiz, a brainstorming activity, and a short video on pedestrian safety. The lesson itself is broken down into several sections, each with specific learning objectives. These sections cover topics such as pedestrian visibility, road safety rules, and identifying hazards.</p>
  3277.  
  3278.  
  3279.  
  3280. <p>Throughout the lesson, students are encouraged to participate in discussions and activities, which aim to reinforce the key concepts being taught. For example, students are asked to identify potential hazards in a given scenario and come up with strategies for avoiding them. Additionally, students are given the opportunity to practice crossing the street using a simulated pedestrian crossing.</p>
  3281.  
  3282.  
  3283.  
  3284. <p>The post-lesson activities are designed to reinforce the key messages of the lesson and encourage students to take action. These activities include a post-assessment quiz, a reflection exercise, and a homework assignment that encourages students to share their newfound knowledge with their family and friends.</p>
  3285.  
  3286.  
  3287.  
  3288. <p>The Safe Kids Worldwide lesson plan is a valuable resource for high school teachers and students alike. By educating students on the risks associated with pedestrian travel and teaching them safe pedestrian behaviors, we can help reduce the number of pedestrian injuries and fatalities on our roads.</p>

  3313. <p>Pedestrian safety is a crucial aspect of road safety that is often overlooked. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2019, there were 6,205 pedestrian fatalities in the United States. To prevent such accidents and promote safety, it is essential to educate children about pedestrian safety. Safe Kids Worldwide has developed a lesson plan for middle school students that aims to teach them about pedestrian safety.</p>
  3314.  
  3315.  
  3316.  
  3317. <p>The lesson plan is available on the Safe Kids Worldwide website and can be accessed by anyone. It provides teachers and educators with a detailed guide on how to teach their students about pedestrian safety. The lesson plan includes various activities that can be used to engage students and help them understand the importance of pedestrian safety.</p>
  3318.  
  3319.  
  3320.  
  3321. <p>The lesson plan is divided into several sections, beginning with an introduction that provides an overview of pedestrian safety. It goes on to explain the importance of pedestrian safety and the risks associated with unsafe pedestrian behavior. The lesson plan also includes a video that demonstrates how to safely cross the street, which is an excellent way to engage students and make them understand the concept of pedestrian safety better.</p>
  3322.  
  3323.  
  3324.  
  3325. <p>The lesson plan also includes several activities that are designed to help students understand pedestrian safety better. One activity is an interactive quiz that tests the students&#8217; knowledge of pedestrian safety. The quiz includes questions about crossing the street, using crosswalks, and identifying pedestrian signals. This activity is an excellent way to engage the students and help them understand the importance of pedestrian safety.</p>
  3326.  
  3327.  
  3328.  
  3329. <p>Another activity included in the lesson plan is a role-playing exercise. In this exercise, students are divided into small groups and asked to act out different scenarios where pedestrian safety is essential. For example, one group might be asked to act out a scene where a pedestrian crosses the street without looking both ways, while another group might be asked to act out a scene where a pedestrian uses a crosswalk correctly. This activity is an excellent way to engage students and help them understand how to behave safely when walking on the road.</p>
  3330.  
  3331.  
  3332.  
  3333. <p>The lesson plan also includes a section on how to develop safe pedestrian habits. This section provides students with tips on how to stay safe when walking on the road. For example, students are advised to use crosswalks, look both ways before crossing the street, and avoid using headphones or mobile phones while walking on the road. This section is an essential part of the lesson plan as it provides students with practical tips on how to stay safe when walking on the road.</p>
  3334.  
  3335.  
  3336.  
  3337. <p>Pedestrian safety is a crucial aspect of road safety that needs to be taught to children at an early age. Safe Kids Worldwide has developed a lesson plan for middle school students that provides teachers and educators with a detailed guide on how to teach their students about pedestrian safety. The lesson plan includes various activities that are designed to engage students and help them understand the importance of pedestrian safety. By teaching children about pedestrian safety, we can prevent accidents and promote safety on our roads.</p>

  3527. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  3528. <p>Pedestrian safety is a topic of great concern in the United States, with nearly 6,000 pedestrian fatalities occurring in 2016 alone. To address this issue, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has developed a set of Pedestrian Awareness Crosswalk Education Topics. These topics aim to educate pedestrians, drivers, and other road users about the importance of pedestrian safety and to promote safe behavior on the roads.<br /><br />The Pedestrian Awareness Crosswalk Education Topics cover a wide range of issues related to pedestrian safety, including the rules of the road, the importance of visibility, and the dangers of distracted driving. The topics are designed to be accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds and can be used by schools, community organizations, and other groups to promote pedestrian safety.<br /><br />One of the key topics covered by the Pedestrian Awareness Crosswalk Education Topics is the importance of crosswalks. Crosswalks are designated areas where pedestrians can cross the road safely, and they are an essential component of any pedestrian safety program. The topics cover the rules for using crosswalks, including the importance of using designated crosswalks, looking both ways before crossing, and making eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you.<br /><br />Another important topic covered by the Pedestrian Awareness Crosswalk Education Topics is the importance of visibility. Pedestrians who are walking at night or in low-light conditions are at a higher risk of being involved in a pedestrian accident. To reduce this risk, the topics cover the importance of wearing reflective clothing, carrying a flashlight, and staying in well-lit areas when possible.<br /><br />The Pedestrian Awareness Crosswalk Education Topics also cover the dangers of distracted driving. Distracted driving is a major cause of pedestrian accidents and can include activities such as texting, talking on the phone, and even eating or drinking while driving. The topics cover the importance of staying focused on the road and avoiding distractions while driving.<br /><br />The Pedestrian Awareness Crosswalk Education Topics developed by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety are an essential tool in promoting pedestrian safety. The topics cover a wide range of issues related to pedestrian safety, including the importance of crosswalks, visibility, and avoiding distracted driving. By educating pedestrians, drivers, and other road users about the importance of pedestrian safety, we can work together to reduce the number of pedestrian fatalities and injuries on our roads.</p>

  3554. <p>A Call to Action for Safer and Healthier Streets</p>
  3555.  
  3556.  
  3557.  
  3558. <p>Every year on August 3rd, the world celebrates World Pedestrian Day, an event designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness about the importance of pedestrian safety and encourage actions to make walking safer and more accessible. With the rise of urbanization and population growth, pedestrian safety has become a critical issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where pedestrian fatalities and injuries are disproportionately high. In this article, we examine the significance of World Pedestrian Day and the key challenges and opportunities in promoting pedestrian safety and active transportation.</p>
  3559.  
  3560.  
  3561.  
  3562. <p>The concept of World Pedestrian Day was first introduced in 2011 by the United Nations General Assembly to recognize the role of pedestrians in sustainable transportation and to promote pedestrian-friendly urban design. Since then, WHO has been leading the global effort to raise awareness about the importance of pedestrian safety through various initiatives, including the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs, in particular, have highlighted the importance of sustainable and inclusive transportation systems that prioritize pedestrian safety and active transportation, such as walking and cycling, as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting public health.</p>
  3563.  
  3564.  
  3565.  
  3566. <p>Despite these efforts, pedestrian safety remains a major challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where the majority of pedestrian fatalities occur. According to WHO, more than 270,000 pedestrians are killed on the world&#8217;s roads each year, accounting for 22% of all road traffic deaths. The majority of these fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries, where infrastructure and road safety measures are often inadequate, and walking is the primary mode of transportation for many people. In addition to the human toll, pedestrian fatalities and injuries also have significant economic costs, including medical expenses, lost productivity, and reduced quality of life.</p>
  3567.  
  3568.  
  3569.  
  3570. <p>To address these challenges, WHO and its partners have called for a comprehensive approach to pedestrian safety that includes a range of interventions, from improving infrastructure and road design to promoting road safety education and awareness campaigns. Some of the key interventions that have been shown to be effective in reducing pedestrian fatalities and injuries include:</p>
  3571.  
  3572.  
  3573.  
  3574. <ul>
  3575. <li>Improving infrastructure and road design: This includes measures such as building sidewalks and crosswalks, reducing speed limits, installing traffic calming measures, and improving street lighting.</li>
  3576.  
  3577.  
  3578.  
  3579. <li>Promoting public transportation and active transportation: Encouraging the use of public transportation and active transportation modes, such as walking and cycling, can reduce the number of cars on the road and improve pedestrian safety.</li>
  3580.  
  3581.  
  3582.  
  3583. <li>Enhancing road safety education and awareness: This includes promoting safe pedestrian behaviors, such as using crosswalks and wearing reflective clothing, and raising awareness about the risks of distracted driving and other unsafe behaviors.</li>
  3584.  
  3585.  
  3586.  
  3587. <li>Strengthening road safety policies and regulations: This includes implementing and enforcing laws and regulations related to road safety, such as speed limits, seatbelt and helmet use, and drunk driving.</li>
  3588. </ul>
  3589.  
  3590.  
  3591.  
  3592. <p>In addition to these interventions, WHO and its partners have emphasized the importance of community engagement and participation in promoting pedestrian safety. This includes working with local communities to identify their specific needs and priorities and involving them in the design and implementation of road safety interventions.World Pedestrian Day serves as a reminder of the importance of pedestrian safety and the need for action to make walking safer and more accessible for all. While significant progress has been made in recent years, much more needs to be done to address the persistent challenges facing pedestrians, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. By adopting a comprehensive approach that includes infrastructure improvements, education and awareness campaigns, and community engagement, we can create safer and healthier streets that promote sustainable and inclusive transportation for all.</p>

  3704. <p>“Walk Your Child to School Day”: An Effective Way to Promote Safe and Healthy Communities</p>
  3705.  
  3706.  
  3707.  
  3708. <p>In recent years, an increasing number of children in the United States have become overweight or obese due to a lack of physical activity and poor nutrition. These trends have been linked to a range of negative health outcomes, including diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. To address these issues, many communities have started to implement programs and initiatives aimed at promoting physical activity and healthy living among children and families. One such program is “Walk Your Child to School Day,” an annual event organized by the National Center for Safe Routes to School (NCSRTS).</p>
  3709.  
  3710.  
  3711.  
  3712. <p>The NCSRTS is a national organization that works to improve the safety and accessibility of walking and biking to school for children. The organization promotes “Walk Your Child to School Day” as a way to encourage parents and caregivers to walk their children to school, rather than driving them. The event is typically held in October and has been celebrated in communities across the United States since 1997.</p>
  3713.  
  3714.  
  3715.  
  3716. <p>The benefits of walking to school are numerous. For children, walking to school can help improve their physical fitness, reduce their risk of obesity, and improve their academic performance. For parents, walking to school can provide an opportunity to spend quality time with their children, promote a sense of community, and reduce traffic congestion around schools. In addition, walking to school can help reduce air pollution, as fewer cars are on the road during peak travel times.</p>
  3717.  
  3718.  
  3719.  
  3720. <p>To participate in “Walk Your Child to School Day,” families are encouraged to plan a walking route to school and to practice the route with their children before the event. On the day of the event, parents and children gather at a designated meeting spot and walk to school together. Many schools organize special activities or events on “Walk Your Child to School Day,” such as breakfasts, raffles, and other fun activities.</p>
  3721.  
  3722.  
  3723.  
  3724. <p>Research has shown that “Walk Your Child to School Day” can be an effective way to promote physical activity and healthy living in communities. A study conducted by the NCSRTS found that participation in “Walk Your Child to School Day” increased the number of children walking to school by 23% on the day of the event. In addition, the study found that parents who participated in the event were more likely to continue walking their children to school in the weeks and months following the event.</p>
  3725.  
  3726.  
  3727.  
  3728. <p>&#8220;Walk Your Child to School Day” is an effective way to promote safe and healthy communities. By encouraging families to walk to school, this annual event provides an opportunity to increase physical activity, reduce traffic congestion, and promote family and community engagement. As such, “Walk Your Child to School Day” should be considered as part of a comprehensive strategy to promote healthy living and active transportation in communities across the United States.</p>

  3852. <p>Pedestrian safety is a crucial issue that should be taken seriously by everyone, especially teens. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), pedestrian deaths account for approximately 17% of all traffic fatalities in the United States. Moreover, teens are among the most vulnerable groups when it comes to pedestrian-related accidents. In this article, we will discuss some of the pedestrian safety tips for teens provided by the NHTSA.</p>
  3853.  
  3854.  
  3855.  
  3856. <p>Tip 1: Be Visible</p>
  3857.  
  3858.  
  3859.  
  3860. <p>Visibility is key to pedestrian safety, especially during low-light conditions. Teens should wear bright or reflective clothing when walking or crossing the road. They can also use flashlights, reflectors, or other lighting devices to increase their visibility to drivers.</p>
  3861.  
  3862.  
  3863.  
  3864. <p>Tip 2: Follow Traffic Rules</p>
  3865.  
  3866.  
  3867.  
  3868. <p>Pedestrians should always follow traffic rules, including traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings. They should only cross the road at designated crosswalks or intersections and always look both ways before crossing. Additionally, pedestrians should not assume that drivers will stop for them, even if they have the right of way.</p>
  3869.  
  3870.  
  3871.  
  3872. <p>Tip 3: Avoid Distractions</p>
  3873.  
  3874.  
  3875.  
  3876. <p>Distractions are a major cause of pedestrian accidents, especially among teens. Pedestrians should avoid using electronic devices, such as cell phones or headphones, when walking or crossing the road. These devices can distract them from their surroundings and make them less aware of potential hazards.</p>
  3877.  
  3878.  
  3879.  
  3880. <p>Tip 4: Walk Sober</p>
  3881.  
  3882.  
  3883.  
  3884. <p>Alcohol and drugs can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time, which can increase the risk of pedestrian accidents. Teens should avoid walking while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and they should never get into a car with a driver who is impaired.</p>
  3885.  
  3886.  
  3887.  
  3888. <p>Tip 5: Be Alert</p>
  3889.  
  3890.  
  3891.  
  3892. <p>Pedestrians should always be alert and aware of their surroundings. They should watch for vehicles turning or backing up and should be cautious when crossing driveways or alleys. Additionally, pedestrians should be aware of the weather conditions, such as rain or snow, which can affect visibility and road conditions.</p>
  3893.  
  3894.  
  3895.  
  3896. <p>Here are some pedestrian safety tips for teens:</p>

  3976. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  3977. <p>Pedestrian safety has always been a crucial issue for drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2020, there were 6,721 pedestrian fatalities in the United States, a 4.8% increase from 2019. In fact, pedestrian deaths accounted for 17% of all traffic fatalities in the country. To minimize the number of pedestrian accidents, drivers should follow some essential safety tips. This scholarly article will review some of the pedestrian safety tips recommended by the NHTSA.</p>
  3978.  
  3979.  
  3980.  
  3981. <p>The NHTSA recommends that drivers always be aware of their surroundings and watch out for pedestrians. This means that drivers should be alert at all times and be ready to take action if they see a pedestrian nearby. Additionally, drivers should always obey traffic laws and signals, especially when driving in areas with high pedestrian traffic.</p>
  3982.  
  3983.  
  3984.  
  3985. <p>Another important tip is to slow down and be prepared to stop at any time. Pedestrians can appear suddenly, and it is crucial to have enough time to react to avoid an accident. Drivers should also give pedestrians the right-of-way at crosswalks and intersections. Even if there is no traffic signal, pedestrians have the right-of-way when crossing a street. Failure to yield to pedestrians can result in severe consequences, including accidents and fatalities.</p>
  3986.  
  3987.  
  3988.  
  3989. <p>Moreover, drivers should always use their headlights, especially at night or during inclement weather conditions. This will make it easier for drivers to see pedestrians and for pedestrians to see the driver&#8217;s vehicle. Additionally, drivers should avoid distracted driving, such as using mobile devices or eating while behind the wheel. Distracted driving can cause drivers to miss important cues, such as pedestrians crossing the street.</p>
  3990.  
  3991.  
  3992.  
  3993. <p>Furthermore, drivers should be extra cautious when driving near children. Children are smaller and less visible than adults, and they may not be aware of traffic rules and signals. Drivers should always slow down when driving near schools, parks, and residential areas, and be prepared to stop at any time.</p>
  3994.  
  3995.  
  3996.  
  3997. <p>Pedestrian safety is a crucial issue for drivers, and following the above-mentioned safety tips can help minimize the number of pedestrian accidents. Drivers should always be aware of their surroundings, obey traffic laws and signals, slow down and be prepared to stop, give pedestrians the right of way, use their headlights, avoid distracted driving, and be extra cautious when driving near children. By following these tips, drivers can help create a safer environment for pedestrians and reduce the number of pedestrian accidents on the road.</p>

  4022. <p>Pedestrian Safety Statistics</p>
  4023.  
  4024.  
  4025.  
  4026. <p>Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable road users.&nbsp;In 2021, there were 6,516 pedestrian fatalities in the United States, accounting for 17% of all traffic fatalities.&nbsp;Pedestrians are also more likely to be injured in traffic crashes than other road users.&nbsp;In 2021, there were an estimated 137,000 pedestrians injured in traffic crashes.</p>
  4027.  
  4028.  
  4029.  
  4030. <p>There are a number of factors that contribute to pedestrian crashes.&nbsp;One of the most common factors is driver negligence.&nbsp;Drivers may fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, or they may be distracted or impaired.&nbsp;Pedestrians can also contribute to crashes by jaywalking, crossing the street against the light, or not being visible to drivers.</p>
  4031.  
  4032.  
  4033.  
  4034. <p>There are a number of things that can be done to improve pedestrian safety.&nbsp;One important step is to educate drivers and pedestrians about the rules of the road.&nbsp;Drivers need to be aware of the dangers of distracted driving and the importance of yielding to pedestrians.&nbsp;Pedestrians need to be aware of the dangers of jaywalking and crossing the street against the light.</p>
  4035.  
  4036.  
  4037.  
  4038. <p>Another important step to improve pedestrian safety is to make our roads more pedestrian-friendly.&nbsp;This includes things like building wider sidewalks, installing crosswalks, and improving lighting.&nbsp;We can also make our roads safer for pedestrians by reducing speed limits in areas where pedestrians are frequently present.</p>
  4039.  
  4040.  
  4041.  
  4042. <p>Pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility.&nbsp;Drivers, pedestrians, and policymakers all have a role to play in making our roads safer for everyone.</p>
  4043.  
  4044.  
  4045.  
  4046. <p>Pedestrian&nbsp;Safety Statistics by Age</p>
  4047.  
  4048.  
  4049.  
  4050. <p>Pedestrians of all ages are at risk of being involved in a traffic crash, but some age groups are more at risk than others.&nbsp;Children and older adults are particularly vulnerable.&nbsp;In 2021, children under the age of 15 accounted for 13% of all pedestrian fatalities.&nbsp;Adults aged 65 and over accounted for 20% of all pedestrian fatalities.</p>
  4051.  
  4052.  
  4053.  
  4054. <p>Pedestrian Safety Statistics by Time of Day</p>
  4055.  
  4056.  
  4057.  
  4058. <p>Pedestrian crashes are more likely to occur at certain times of day.&nbsp;In 2021, 75% of pedestrian fatalities occurred between the hours of 6pm and 6am.&nbsp;This is likely due to the fact that there is less light at night, making it more difficult for drivers to see pedestrians.</p>
  4059.  
  4060.  
  4061.  
  4062. <p>Pedestrian Safety Statistics by Location</p>
  4063.  
  4064.  
  4065.  
  4066. <p>Pedestrian crashes are more likely to occur in certain locations.&nbsp;In 2021, 70% of pedestrian fatalities occurred in urban areas.&nbsp;This is likely due to the fact that there is more traffic in urban areas.</p>
  4067.  
  4068.  
  4069.  
  4070. <p>Conclusion</p>
  4071.  
  4072.  
  4073.  
  4074. <p>Pedestrian safety is a serious issue.&nbsp;Every year, thousands of pedestrians are killed or injured in traffic crashes.&nbsp;There are a number of things that can be done to improve pedestrian safety, including educating drivers and pedestrians about the rules of the road, making our roads more pedestrian-friendly, and reducing speed limits in areas where pedestrians are frequently present.&nbsp;Pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility.&nbsp;Drivers, pedestrians, and policymakers all have a role to play in making our roads safer for everyone.</p>

  4116. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  4117. <p>According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), pedestrian safety laws are a crucial element in reducing pedestrian fatalities and injuries. In recent years, pedestrian safety has become a major concern in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2019, there were 6,205 pedestrian deaths, accounting for 17% of all traffic fatalities. In this context, pedestrian safety laws have become increasingly important in promoting safe walking and reducing pedestrian fatalities and injuries.</p>
  4118.  
  4119.  
  4120.  
  4121. <p>In Texas, pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists are all expected to follow crosswalks and traffic signs. However, pedestrians do not always have the right of way in Texas. </p>
  4122.  
  4123.  
  4124.  
  4125. <p>Here are some pedestrian laws in Texas:</p>
  4126.  
  4127.  
  4128.  
  4129. <ul>
  4130. <li>Drivers must yield to pedestrians who are crossing in a crosswalk, even when turning left or right.</li>
  4131.  
  4132.  
  4133.  
  4134. <li>Drivers must yield to pedestrians at stop signs or flashing red lights, even if the lights are not working.</li>
  4135.  
  4136.  
  4137.  
  4138. <li>Drivers must yield to pedestrians when pulling out of or into an driveway or alley.</li>
  4139.  
  4140.  
  4141.  
  4142. <li>Drivers are not allowed to pass another vehicle that has stopped for a pedestrian crossing the street.</li>
  4143. </ul>
  4144.  
  4145.  
  4146.  
  4147. <p>Pedestrian safety laws refer to a set of regulations that govern the behavior of pedestrians and drivers on the road. These laws aim to promote safe walking and driving and reduce the risk of accidents involving pedestrians. The IIHS has identified several key pedestrian safety laws that are effective in reducing pedestrian fatalities and injuries. These laws include:</p>
  4148.  
  4149.  
  4150.  
  4151. <p>Crosswalk laws: Crosswalk laws require drivers to stop and yield to pedestrians crossing the road within a marked or unmarked crosswalk. In most states, crosswalk laws also require pedestrians to use crosswalks when available and to obey traffic signals and signs.</p>
  4152.  
  4153.  
  4154.  
  4155. <p>Speed limit laws: Speed limit laws set a maximum speed limit for vehicles on the road. Lower speed limits in high pedestrian areas can reduce the risk of pedestrian fatalities and injuries in the event of an accident.</p>
  4156.  
  4157.  
  4158.  
  4159. <p>Distracted driving laws: Distracted driving laws prohibit drivers from using cell phones or other electronic devices while driving. Distracted driving can increase the risk of accidents involving pedestrians.</p>
  4160.  
  4161.  
  4162.  
  4163. <p>Drunk driving laws: Drunk driving laws prohibit drivers from operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Drunk driving can impair a driver&#8217;s judgment and reaction time, increasing the risk of accidents involving pedestrians.</p>
  4164.  
  4165.  
  4166.  
  4167. <p>School zone laws: School zone laws require drivers to slow down and exercise extra caution when driving in areas near schools and other places where children are likely to be present.</p>
  4168.  
  4169.  
  4170.  
  4171. <p>Sidewalk laws: Sidewalk laws require property owners to maintain their sidewalks in a safe condition, free from hazards that may cause injuries to pedestrians.</p>
  4172.  
  4173.  
  4174.  
  4175. <p>Pedestrian safety laws can vary from state to state. However, most states have implemented some form of pedestrian safety laws to promote safe walking and reduce pedestrian fatalities and injuries. The IIHS recommends that states adopt a comprehensive approach to pedestrian safety, including a combination of engineering, education, and enforcement measures.</p>
  4176.  
  4177.  
  4178.  
  4179. <p>Pedestrian safety laws are a critical component in promoting safe walking and reducing pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Crosswalk laws, speed limit laws, distracted driving laws, drunk driving laws, school zone laws, and sidewalk laws are just a few examples of the many pedestrian safety laws that states have implemented. However, more needs to be done to promote pedestrian safety, and states should adopt a comprehensive approach to pedestrian safety to reduce the risk of accidents involving pedestrians.</p>
  4180.  
  4181.  
  4182.  
  4183. <p>Here are some pedestrian safety tips:</p>
  4184.  
  4185.  
  4186.  
  4187. <ul>
  4188. <li>Always walk against traffic.</li>
  4189.

This can be done through interactive lessons, games, and activities that teach children about pedestrian safety. Another strategy is to promote pedestrian safety through public awareness campaigns. Such campaigns can use social media, billboards, and other forms of advertising to raise awareness about pedestrian safety. Finally, community-based programs can be created to promote pedestrian safety. These programs can include neighborhood watch groups, pedestrian safety patrols, and community events that promote pedestrian safety.</p>
  4287.  
  4288.  
  4289.  
  4290. <p>Impact of Pedestrian Safety Education:</p>
  4291.  
  4292.  
  4293.  
  4294. <p>Pedestrian safety education has a significant impact on road safety. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, pedestrian safety education programs have been shown to reduce the number of pedestrian injuries and fatalities by up to 44% (Safe Kids Worldwide, 2023). By teaching children about pedestrian safety, we can also help them become better drivers as they grow older. Understanding pedestrian safety can help drivers be more aware of their surroundings and reduce the likelihood of accidents.</p>
  4295.  
  4296.  
  4297.  
  4298. <p>Conclusion:</p>
  4299.  
  4300.  
  4301.  
  4302. <p>Pedestrian safety education is an essential aspect of road safety. It is especially important for children, who are more likely to be involved in pedestrian accidents than adults. Safe Kids Worldwide has been working tirelessly to promote pedestrian safety education. Their website provides a wealth of information about pedestrian safety education, including why it is important, what strategies can be employed, and how to implement these strategies.

  4325. <description><![CDATA[The GHSA report "Distracted Walking: A Growing Problem" highlights the dangers posed by distracted walking to pedestrian safety.]]></description>
  4326. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  4327. <p>Distracted driving has been a major concern for road safety experts and policymakers. However, a new problem is emerging on the streets &#8211; distracted walking. Distracted walking is when a pedestrian doesn&#8217;t pay attention to their surroundings. It can happen at any age and can lead to serious injuries, including fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and even death. </p>
  4328.  
  4329.  
  4330.  
  4331. <p>The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) has identified this growing problem as a significant threat to pedestrian safety. According to the GHSA report &#8220;Distracted Walking: A Growing Problem,&#8221; pedestrians who are distracted by their phones, music players, and other electronic devices are at a higher risk of being involved in accidents.</p>
  4332.  
  4333.  
  4334.  
  4335. <p>Some examples of distracted walking include:</p>
  4336.  
  4337.  
  4338.  
  4339. <ul>
  4340. <li>Talking on your phone</li>
  4341.  
  4342.  
  4343.  
  4344. <li>Texting</li>
  4345.  
  4346.  
  4347.  
  4348. <li>Watching videos</li>
  4349.  
  4350.  
  4351.  
  4352. <li>Listening to music</li>
  4353.  
  4354.  
  4355.  
  4356. <li>Wearing headphones</li>
  4357.  
  4358.  
  4359.  
  4360. <li>Using a cell phone or other electronic device&nbsp;</li>
  4361. </ul>
  4362.  
  4363.  
  4364.  
  4365. <p>The report indicates that between 2010 and 2015, pedestrian fatalities increased by 25 percent. The GHSA attributes this increase in part to the rise in distracted walking. In addition, the report highlights that the number of pedestrians who were admitted to emergency rooms due to injuries related to phone use while walking increased by 124 percent between 2010 and 2014.</p>
  4366.  
  4367.  
  4368.  
  4369. <p>The report also identifies the age group most at risk of distracted walking. It found that individuals aged 15 to 19 were most likely to be injured while walking and using their phones. This age group is also the most likely to use their phones while walking, with 56 percent of high school students admitting to texting or emailing while crossing the street.</p>
  4370.  
  4371.  
  4372.  
  4373. <p>The GHSA report offers several recommendations to address the problem of distracted walking. The first and most crucial recommendation is education. It suggests that public education campaigns should be launched to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted walking. These campaigns should target not only pedestrians but also drivers, who need to be aware of the risks posed by distracted pedestrians.</p>
  4374.  
  4375.  
  4376.  
  4377. <p>Some dangers of distracted walking include:</p>
  4378.  
  4379.  
  4380.  
  4381. <ul>
  4382. <li>Missing lightsA distracted walker might miss a light that changes or a car that shifts direction.</li>
  4383.  
  4384.  
  4385.  
  4386. <li>Not following crosswalk guidelinesA distracted walker might not be as likely to follow guidance measures like staying in the crosswalk lines.</li>
  4387.  
  4388.  
  4389.  
  4390. <li>Walking into trafficA distracted walker might walk into traffic, causing a collision with a car.</li>
  4391.  
  4392.  
  4393.  
  4394. <li>Being hit by other vehiclesA distracted walker might be hit by another motorist or an accident with another vehicle while crossing.</li>
  4395.  
  4396.  
  4397.  
  4398. <li>Legal liabilityA distracted walker can sometimes have legal liability if someone gets hurt because they are not paying attention.&nbsp;</li>
  4399. </ul>
  4400.  
  4401.  
  4402.  
  4403. <p>The report also suggests that cities and towns should consider implementing laws to discourage distracted walking. For example, some cities have already introduced fines for texting while crossing the street. The report argues that such measures can be effective in reducing the number of accidents caused by distracted walking.</p>
  4404.  
  4405.  
  4406.  
  4407. <p>Here are some tips to avoid distracted walking:</p>
  4408.  
  4409.  
  4410.  
  4411. <ul>
  4412. <li>Make eye contact with drivers of oncoming vehicles</li>
  4413.  
  4414.  
  4415.  
  4416. <li>Be aware of drivers even when you&#8217;re in a crosswalk</li>
  4417.  
  4418.  
  4419.  
  4420. <li>Don&#8217;t wear headphones while walking</li>
  4421.  
  4422.  
  4423.  
  4424. <li>Never use a cell phone or other electronic device while walking.</li>
  4425. </ul>
  4426.  
  4427.  
  4428.  
  4429. <p>The report calls for further research into the problem of distracted walking. It suggests that more data is needed to better understand the causes and consequences of distracted walking and to develop effective strategies to address this growing problem.</p>
  4430.  
  4431.  
  4432.  
  4433. <p>The GHSA report &#8220;Distracted Walking: A Growing Problem&#8221; highlights the dangers posed by distracted walking to pedestrian safety. The report demonstrates that distracted walking is a rapidly growing problem, and it recommends education, legislation, and research to address this issue. By working together, we can reduce the number of injuries and fatalities caused by distracted walking and create safer streets for everyone.</p>

  4456. <description><![CDATA[Pedestrian safety is a crucial issue that requires our attention as parents. By following these tips and teaching our children safe behaviors, we can reduce the risk of accidents and keep our children safe.]]></description>
  4457. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  4458. <p>According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), pedestrian fatalities account for approximately 16% of all traffic fatalities in the United States. Children under the age of 14 are particularly vulnerable, with pedestrian injuries being the second leading cause of death for this age group. As parents, it is our responsibility to teach our children the importance of pedestrian safety and to ensure that they are equipped with the necessary skills to avoid accidents.</p>
  4459.  
  4460.  
  4461.  
  4462. <p>The NHTSA has compiled a comprehensive list of pedestrian safety tips for parents, which we will discuss in detail below.</p>
  4463.  
  4464.  
  4465.  
  4466. <ol>
  4467. <li>Choose Safe Routes: When walking with your children, it is important to choose safe routes that are well-lit and have sidewalks or designated pedestrian paths. Avoid busy roads or those with high-speed limits, and always use crosswalks or pedestrian crossings when available.</li>
  4468.  
  4469.  
  4470.  
  4471. <li>Teach Safe Behaviors: Teach your children to look both ways before crossing the street, even if they are on a designated crosswalk. Encourage them to make eye contact with drivers, so they are sure they have been seen. Also, remind them to walk, not run, when crossing the street.</li>
  4472.  
  4473.  
  4474.  
  4475. <li>Dress for Visibility: Dress your children in brightly colored or reflective clothing when walking outside, especially at night. This will make them easier to see by drivers, reducing the risk of accidents.</li>
  4476.  
  4477.  
  4478.  
  4479. <li>Put Down Electronic Devices: Encourage your children to put down electronic devices, such as smartphones or tablets, when walking outside. These devices can be a major distraction, preventing them from paying attention to their surroundings.</li>
  4480.  
  4481.  
  4482.  
  4483. <li>Lead by Example: As parents, we must lead by example and follow safe pedestrian behaviors ourselves. Always use crosswalks, look both ways before crossing the street, and use designated pedestrian pathways.</li>
  4484.  
  4485.  
  4486.  
  4487. <li>Practice Safety in Parking Lots: Teach your children to be cautious in parking lots, which can be dangerous due to limited visibility and distracted drivers. Hold their hand and walk them to and from the car, and teach them to stay close to you at all times.</li>
  4488.  
  4489.  
  4490.  
  4491. <li>Don&#8217;t Assume Drivers Will Stop: Teach your children never to assume that drivers will stop for them, even if they are in a crosswalk. Always make eye contact with the driver and wait for them to stop before crossing the street.</li>
  4492. </ol>
  4493.  
  4494.  
  4495.  
  4496. <p>Pedestrian safety is a crucial issue that requires our attention as parents. By following these tips and teaching our children safe behaviors, we can reduce the risk of accidents and keep our children safe. Always remember to choose safe routes, teach safe behaviors, dress for visibility, put down electronic devices, lead by example, practice safety in parking lots, and never assume drivers will stop. With these tips in mind, we can create a safer environment for our children and ensure that they have the necessary skills to navigate the world around them.</p>

  4520. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  4521. <p>Pedestrian safety has become a growing concern for policymakers, transportation planners, and public health experts in 2024. Pedestrian accidents are increasingly a major cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the United States and the rest of the world.&nbsp; Pedestrian Vehicle Accidents are a problem which is especially acute in urban areas. In response to this challenge, a growing body of research has emerged in the field of pedestrian safety. This post reviews the key findings of one such study, &#8220;Pedestrian Safety: A Literature Review,&#8221; by Lisa Bickel.</p>
  4522.  
  4523.  
  4524.  
  4525. <p>The study is published in the Journal of Transport &amp; Health and covers a range of topics related to pedestrian safety. The article begins by reviewing the epidemiology of pedestrian accidents, and providing detailed data on the frequency and severity of these incidents. The author notes that while pedestrian accidents are relatively rare compared to other types of accidents, they are more likely to result in severe injuries or fatalities. In addition, certain populations, such as children and the elderly, are more vulnerable to pedestrian accidents.</p>
  4526.  
  4527.  
  4528.  
  4529. <p>The author then turns to a discussion of the various factors that contribute to pedestrian accidents. These include environmental factors such as road design, traffic volume, and lighting, as well as individual factors such as age, gender, and alcohol use. The article goes on to describe various strategies that have been employed to improve pedestrian safety, including engineering solutions, educational campaigns, and enforcement efforts.</p>
  4530.  
  4531.  
  4532.  
  4533. <p>One of the key insights of the study is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to pedestrian safety. Instead, effective strategies must be tailored to the specific context of a given community. For example, in some cases, engineering solutions such as traffic calming measures may be effective, while in other cases, educational campaigns aimed at changing pedestrian behavior may be more appropriate.&#8221;Pedestrian Safety: A Literature Review&#8221; provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in pedestrian safety research. The article highlights the need for a multifaceted approach to addressing the problem of pedestrian accidents, one that takes into account the complex interplay of environmental and individual factors. The study&#8217;s findings are likely to be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders, including policymakers, transportation planners, public health experts, and members of the general public concerned about pedestrian safety.</p>

  4587. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  4588. <p>Pedestrian safety is a critical issue in the United States, with thousands of pedestrians being killed or injured each year. To address this issue, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) declared the first week of September as Pedestrian Safety Week. This week-long campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of pedestrian accidents and promote safe walking practices.</p>
  4589.  
  4590.  
  4591.  
  4592. <p>The NHTSA is responsible for regulating and enforcing traffic safety standards in the United States. As part of its mission, the agency conducts research, develops safety programs, and collaborates with state and local governments to reduce traffic accidents. One of the agency&#8217;s key focus areas is pedestrian safety, as pedestrians account for a disproportionate number of traffic fatalities each year.</p>
  4593.  
  4594.  
  4595.  
  4596. <p>Pedestrian Safety Week is a national event that brings together government agencies, community organizations, and individuals to promote pedestrian safety. During this week, the NHTSA and its partners organize a range of activities to raise awareness about pedestrian safety, including public education campaigns, safety demonstrations, and law enforcement efforts.</p>
  4597.  
  4598.  
  4599.  
  4600. <p>One of the main goals of Pedestrian Safety Week is to educate the public about safe walking practices. This includes teaching pedestrians how to cross the street safely, how to use crosswalks and pedestrian signals, and how to avoid distractions while walking. Pedestrian Safety Week also emphasizes the importance of visibility, encouraging pedestrians to wear bright clothing and carry flashlights or reflective gear when walking at night.</p>
  4601.  
  4602.  
  4603.  
  4604. <p>Another key aspect of Pedestrian Safety Week is law enforcement. During this week, police officers are encouraged to increase enforcement of traffic laws that protect pedestrians, such as speed limits and crosswalk laws. This helps to deter dangerous driving behaviors and promote safer streets for pedestrians.</p>
  4605.  
  4606.  
  4607.  
  4608. <p>Pedestrian Safety Week has been successful in raising awareness about pedestrian safety and reducing pedestrian accidents. According to the NHTSA, pedestrian fatalities declined by 2.7% in 2019, and pedestrian injuries declined by 3.4%. However, there is still much work to be done to ensure the safety of pedestrians on our roads.</p>
  4609.  
  4610.  
  4611.  
  4612. <p>Pedestrian Safety Week is an important initiative that highlights the dangers of pedestrian accidents and promotes safe walking practices. By educating the public and increasing law enforcement efforts, we can reduce the number of pedestrian accidents and create safer streets for everyone.</p>
  4613.  
  4614.  
  4615.  
  4616. <p>Pedestrian safety is a topic of importance in California, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is working to raise awareness about keeping pedestrians safe nationwide.&nbsp;</p>
  4617.  
  4618.  
  4619.  
  4620. <p>Here are some safety tips for pedestrians:</p>

  4650.  
  4651.  
  4652.  
  4653. <li>Keep looking both ways, and listening, in case a driver or rider has not seen you </li>
  4654. </ul>
  4655.  
  4656.  
  4657.  
  4658. <p>Here are some safety tips for drivers when sharing the roadway with pedestrians:</p>
  4659.  
  4660.  
  4661.  
  4662. <ul>
  4663. <li>Slow down and be prepared to stop when turning or otherwise entering a crosswalk</li>
  4664.  
  4665.  
  4666.  
  4667. <li>Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks</li>
  4668.  
  4669.  
  4670.  
  4671. <li>Stop well back from the crosswalk to give other vehicles an opportunity to see the crossing pedestrians so they can stop too</li>
  4672.  
  4673.  
  4674.  
  4675. <li>Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk </li>
  4676. </ul>

  4933. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Crosswalk Zone, Know The Signs: A Public Safety Campaign</strong></h2>
  4934.  
  4935.  
  4936.  
  4937. <p>Crosswalks are essential to the safety of pedestrians, but many people do not understand the proper way to use them. PACE TULSA, a pedestrian awareness crosswalk education organization, has developed a public safety campaign called Crosswalk Zone, Know The Signs. The campaign seeks to educate the public about the proper use of crosswalks and increase awareness of pedestrian safety.</p>
  4938.  
  4939.  
  4940.  
  4941. <p><strong>The Crosswalk Zone campaign aims to dispel common myths about pedestrian safety and provide facts that will help keep pedestrians safe. The campaign includes quizzes that test people&#8217;s knowledge of pedestrian safety and smart pedestrian crossings that use technology to increase safety.</strong></p>
  4942.  
  4943.  
  4944.  
  4945. <p>One of the myths that the Crosswalk Zone campaign seeks to dispel is that pedestrians always have the right of way. While pedestrians do have the right of way in crosswalks, they still need to look both ways and make sure it is safe to cross before stepping into the street. The campaign provides facts about pedestrian safety and reminds people to always be cautious when crossing the street.</p>
  4946.  
  4947.  
  4948.  
  4949. <p>The Crosswalk Zone campaign also includes information about smart pedestrian crossings. These crossings use technology to increase safety by alerting drivers when pedestrians are crossing and providing additional time for pedestrians to cross. The campaign highlights the benefits of smart pedestrian crossings and encourages cities to invest in this technology.</p>
  4950.  
  4951.  
  4952.  
  4953. <p>In addition to educating the public about pedestrian safety, the Crosswalk Zone campaign also includes public service announcements that promote safe driving habits. By reminding drivers to be aware of pedestrians and obey traffic laws, the campaign aims to reduce accidents and increase safety for everyone on the road.</p>
  4954.  
  4955.  
  4956.  
  4957. <p>The Crosswalk Zone campaign is an important step in improving pedestrian safety and reducing accidents. By providing education and promoting safe driving habits, PACE TULSA is working to make our streets safer for everyone.</p>

  5048. <p>Whenever the need to optimize operations and resources arises to achieve the best possible outcomes despite limited financial resources, involving the public affected by the crises is important. Finding ways to reduce costs; improving efficiency; and prioritizing spending is crucial. </p>

  5057.  
  5058.  
  5059.  
  5060. <p>A measurable data strategy can be a crucial tool for public transportation safety organizations and infrastructure agency employees during regulatory compliance inspections. </p>
  5061.  
  5062.  
  5063.  
  5064. <p>By implementing a data-driven approach to compliance, agencies can measure and track their progress toward meeting regulatory requirements, identify areas where improvements are needed, and ensure that compliance efforts are aligned with organizational goals.</p>
  5065.  
  5066.  
  5067.  
  5068. <p>In addition, ensuring the continuity of agency employees who are responsible for regulatory compliance is also important.</p>
  5069.  
  5070.  
  5071.  
  5072. <p>This can be achieved through ongoing training and education, as well as by developing clear policies and procedures for compliance-related tasks.</p>
  5073.  
  5074.  
  5075.  
  5076. <p>Creating a culture that rewards agency employees who are knowledgeable and well-trained in compliance requirements, agencies can more effectively manage regulatory risk and minimize the potential for compliance related issues or violations.  Consider these key area foci:</p>

  5108. <p>Municipalities worldwide are facing mounting challenges to provide effective and efficient public transportation safety services to their citizens. </p>
  5109.  
  5110.  
  5111.  
  5112. <p>The situation is further complicated when public transportation systems are constrained, and funding is inadequate. However, there are ways to improve municipal efficacy continuity through the use of comprehensive public panel open discussions, inter- or intra-agency public planning meetings, online LMS content access platforms, and compliance strategy. </p>
  5113.  
  5114.  
  5115.  
  5116. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Comprehensive Public Panel Open Discussions</strong></h5>
  5117.  
  5118.  
  5119.  
  5120. <p>Comprehensive public panel open discussions are an effective way to involve the public in the decision-making process of municipalities. They allow citizens to voice their opinions and concerns on various issues that affect their lives. Municipalities can use these discussions to gather valuable feedback on their services and policies. This feedback can be used to improve the quality of services and enhance the overall efficacy of municipalities.</p>
  5121.  
  5122.  
  5123.  
  5124. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Inter- or Intra-Agency Public Planning Meetings</strong></h5>
  5125.  
  5126.  
  5127.  
  5128. <p>Inter- or intra-agency public planning meetings are another way to improve municipal efficacy continuity. These meetings bring together different departments within a municipality to discuss common issues and find solutions. By working together, departments can identify areas of overlap, eliminate duplication, and streamline processes. This can result in cost savings and improved efficiency.</p>
  5129.  
  5130.  
  5131.  
  5132. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Online LMS Content Access Platforms</strong></h5>
  5133.  
  5134.  
  5135.  
  5136. <p>Online LMS content access platforms are useful tools for municipalities to provide training and education to their employees. These platforms allow employees to access training modules and educational materials online, at their convenience. This can be especially helpful when public transportation systems are constrained. Employees can access the materials from home, reducing the need for travel.</p>
  5137.  
  5138.  
  5139.  
  5140. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Compliance Strategy</strong></h5>
  5141.  
  5142.  
  5143.  
  5144. <p>Compliance strategy is an essential aspect of municipal efficacy continuity. Municipalities must comply with various regulations and laws to ensure they provide safe and effective services to their citizens. Compliance strategy involves developing policies and procedures to ensure compliance with regulations. It also involves monitoring and reporting on compliance to regulatory bodies.</p>
  5145.  
  5146.  
  5147.  
  5148. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Streamlining Transportation Agency Creativity</strong></h5>
  5149.  
  5150.  
  5151.  
  5152. <p>Using comprehensive public panel open discussions, inter- or intra-agency public planning meetings, online LMS content access platforms, and compliance strategy can improve municipal efficacy continuity even when public transportation systems are constrained and underfunded. </p>
  5153.  
  5154.  
  5155.  
  5156. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>When referring to public transport agencies and streamlining processes due to constrained or under-finance budgets, what are we saying?</strong></h5>
  5157.  
  5158.  
  5159.  
  5160. <p>When referring to public transport agencies and streamlining processes due to constrained or under finance budgets, we are talking about the need to optimize operations and resources to achieve the best possible outcomes despite limited financial resources. This could involve finding ways to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and prioritize spending to ensure that essential services are maintained while meeting regulatory requirements and safety standards.</p>
  5161.  
  5162.  
  5163.  
  5164. <p>These measures allow municipalities to involve the public in decision-making, streamline processes, provide training and education to employees, and ensure regulatory compliance. As such, they are feasible options for municipalities worldwide.</p>
  5165.  
  5166.  
  5167.  
  5168. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Public Transportation Agency streamlined continuity regulatory compliance services</strong></h5>
  5169.  
  5170.  
  5171.  
  5172. <p>Public transportation safety organizations and associate infrastructure agency employees should be offered specific training courses and continued education to ensure that they can develop and ensure enhanced municipal efficacy, continuity, and regulatory compliance.</p>
  5173.  
  5174.  
  5175.  
  5176. <p><strong>Some of the courses that could be included are:</strong></p>

  5482. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Career Comparison:  Real Estate VS. Public Transportation Administration</strong></h5>
  5483.  
  5484.  
  5485.  
  5486. <p>A career in real estate and a career in transportation public policy are two distinct professional paths that offer unique advantages and rewards. While both fields require different skill sets and offer different job opportunities, they both have the potential to be fulfilling and lucrative career paths.</p>
  5487.  
  5488.  
  5489.  
  5490. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>a career in real estate </strong></h4>
  5491.  
  5492.  
  5493.  
  5494. <p>One advantage of a career in real estate is the potential for high earnings. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for real estate brokers and sales agents was $50,730 in May 2020 (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Additionally, individuals in the real estate industry have the potential to earn commission on top of their base salary, depending on the number of properties they sell or rent out. This commission-based system provides an incentive for hard work and can lead to significant earnings.</p>
  5495.  
  5496.  
  5497.  
  5498. <p>On the other hand, a career in transportation public policy offers the opportunity to make a positive impact on society. Professionals in this field work to shape and improve transportation systems, which can have a direct impact on people&#8217;s lives. Additionally, transportation public policy professionals have the opportunity to work with government officials and other stakeholders to create policies that benefit communities and improve access to transportation.</p>
  5499.  
  5500.  
  5501.  
  5502. <p>Another advantage of a career in real estate is the flexibility it offers. Real estate professionals can work as independent contractors, which allows for a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home. This flexibility can be particularly appealing to individuals with family responsibilities or those who value work-life balance.</p>
  5503.  
  5504.  
  5505.  
  5506. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>a career in transportation public policy</strong></h4>
  5507.  
  5508.  
  5509.  
  5510. <p>In contrast, a career in transportation public policy typically involves working for government agencies or non-profit organizations, which may offer less flexibility in terms of scheduling and work location. However, these positions often come with job security and benefits, such as healthcare and retirement plans.</p>
  5511.  
  5512.  
  5513.  
  5514. <p>In terms of job growth, both the real estate and transportation industries are expected to see growth in the coming years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of real estate brokers and sales agents is projected to grow 2 percent from 2019 to 2029 (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Similarly, employment of urban and regional planners, who often work in transportation public policy, is projected to grow 11 percent from 2019 to 2029 (Bureau of Labor Statistics).</p>
  5515.  
  5516.  
  5517.  
  5518. <p>Overall, both careers offer unique advantages and rewards. Real estate professionals have the potential for high earnings and flexibility, while transportation public policy professionals have the opportunity to make a positive impact on society and work toward improving transportation systems. Individuals should carefully consider their skills, interests, and career goals when choosing between these two career paths.</p>

  5555. <p>To perform a budget analysis for 2024 based on a starting savings account with $105.00 and a 40-hour-a-week job earning $15.50 an hour, we need to consider several factors. </p>
  5556.  
  5557.  
  5558.  
  5559. <p>Let&#8217;s assume that the individual is paid bi-weekly, and works 52 weeks in a year.</p>
  5560.  
  5561.  
  5562.  
  5563. <p>First, we need to calculate the annual income. The income per hour is $15.50, and the individual works 40 hours per week. So, the weekly income is $620 ($15.50 x 40). The bi-weekly income is $1,240 ($620 x 2), and the annual income is $32,240 ($1,240 x 26).</p>
  5564.  
  5565.  
  5566.  
  5567. <p>Now let&#8217;s consider the expenses. The budget analysis should include all the monthly expenses, such as rent, utilities, transportation, groceries, entertainment, and any other bills. Let&#8217;s assume the monthly expenses are as follows:</p>
  5568.  
  5569.  
  5570.  
  5571. <ul>
  5572. <li>Rent: $800</li>
  5573.  
  5574.  
  5575.  
  5576. <li>Utilities: $150</li>
  5577.  
  5578.  
  5579.  
  5580. <li>Transportation: $200</li>
  5581.  
  5582.  
  5583.  
  5584. <li>Groceries: $300</li>
  5585.  
  5586.  
  5587.  
  5588. <li>Entertainment: $100</li>
  5589.  
  5590.  
  5591.  
  5592. <li>Other bills: $200</li>
  5593. </ul>
  5594.  
  5595.  
  5596.  
  5597. <p>The total monthly expenses are $1,750. The annual expenses would be $21,000 ($1,750 x 12).</p>
  5598.  
  5599.  
  5600.  
  5601. <p>Now let&#8217;s calculate the savings. With an annual income of $32,240 and annual expenses of $21,000, the individual will have $11,240 ($32,240 &#8211; $21,000) left over. This means they will have around $936.67 ($11,240 / 12) per month to save or invest.</p>
  5602.  
  5603.  
  5604.  
  5605. <p>Starting with $105.00 in savings, the individual can use it as an emergency fund, or they can invest it in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. If they decide to invest the money, they can expect a return on investment (ROI) of around 7%. This means that the $105.00 can grow to $116.58 by the end of the year ($105.00 x 1.07).</p>
  5606.  
  5607.  
  5608.  
  5609. <p>Based on the given information, the individual can expect to have an annual income of $32,240 and annual expenses of $21,000 in 2024. They will have around $936.67 per month to save or invest. With proper budgeting and investment, the individual can achieve their financial goals and build a strong financial future.</p>

  5632. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  5633. <p>High-quality Municipal Efficacy refers to the effective functioning of a municipality in providing essential services to its residents. <br /><br />High-quality Municipal Efficacy involves various functions such as infrastructure development, waste management, public safety, transportation, and traffic code enforcement.<br /><br />A municipality with high-quality efficiency ensures that these services are provided efficiently, timely, and effectively, meeting the needs and expectations of its residents. It involves strategic planning, efficient management, and effective implementation of policies and programs to deliver sustainable and reliable services to the community. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life of the residents and create a livable and thriving community.</p>
  5634.  
  5635.  
  5636.  
  5637. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Continuity is a critical, but often neglected function of High-quality Municipal Efficacy</strong></h2>
  5638.  
  5639.  
  5640.  
  5641. <p>Continuity is indeed a critical function of high-quality municipal efficacy. It ensures that the smooth functioning of the municipal services is not hindered due to any disruptions or changes in the administration. However, it is often overlooked and not given the importance it deserves, leading to inefficiencies in the system. It is essential to have a well-planned continuity plan in place to ensure that the services provided by the municipality are not compromised in any way.</p>
  5642.  
  5643.  
  5644.  
  5645. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>High-quality Municipal Efficacy </strong></h2>
  5646.  
  5647.  
  5648.  
  5649. <p>Using comprehensive public panel open discussions; inter- or intra- agency public planning meetings; online lms content access platforms and  compliance strategy improving municipal efficacy continuity is feasible even when public transportation systems are constrained as well as, underfunded. </p>
  5650.  
  5651.  
  5652.  
  5653. <p>Municipal Efficacy Continuity must be measurable and utilize data benchmarks to improve progressive efforts, in order to achieve high-quality traffic code enforcement for all.<br /><br />Despite increasing attention to Traffic Calming implementation, the goals for universal High-quality Municipal Efficacy transportation community, still lacks clarity on how low-income and middle-income neighbors (LMINs) can strengthen public safety systems to reach these ambitious goals, while ensuring quality at the same time.</p>
  5654.  
  5655.  
  5656.  
  5657. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Here are some strategies that could address low-income and middle-income neighbors (LMINs</strong>) </h2>
  5658.  
  5659.  
  5660.  
  5661. <p>Hoping to strengthen public safety systems reaching ambitious goals ;ensuring quality at the same time means several strategies  could potentially address the concerns of low-income and middle-income neighbors (LMINs).<br /><br />1. Community Policing: This strategy involves building strong relationships between the police department and the community. It helps to build trust, increase communication, and work collaboratively to address public safety concerns. <br /><br />This approach involves officers working closely with community members to identify problems, develop solutions, and implement effective strategies to reduce crime and improve safety.<br /><br />2. Technology-Based Solutions: The use of advanced technology-based solutions such as surveillance cameras, gunshot detection systems, and license plate recognition systems can aid in reducing crime and improving public safety. <br /><br />These technologies can help police departments to detect and respond to crime more quickly and effectively.<br /><br />3. Problem-Oriented Policing: This approach involves identifying and addressing specific crime problems in a community. <br /><br />Police departments work with community members to identify areas where crime is prevalent and then develop and implement strategies to solve those problems.<br /><br />4. Community Engagement Programs: These programs aim to engage the community in public safety efforts. They involve working with community organizations, schools, and local businesses to develop programs that focus on crime prevention and community safety. <br /><br />Examples of such programs include neighborhood watch programs, community events, and youth engagement programs.<br /><br />5. Data-Driven Decision Making: The use of data and analytics can help police departments to identify patterns and trends in crime and develop strategies to address those issues. <br /><br />Data can be used to allocate resources more effectively, identify crime hotspots, and track the effectiveness of interventions.<br /><br />A combination of these strategies can help to address the concerns of low-income and middle-income neighbors (LMINs) and strengthen public safety systems while ensuring quality at the same time. <br /><br />The key is to work collaboratively with the community, leveraging technology, and use data-driven decision making to develop effective solutions.<br /><br />While access, coordination and comprehensiveness have garnered some policy focus, high-quality Municipal Efficacy has received relatively little attention within LMINs. <br /><br />Explaining access, coordination and comprehensiveness policy focused, High-quality Municipal Efficacy Continuity.<br /><br />Access, coordination, and comprehensiveness are three policy-focused aspects of high-quality municipal efficacy continuity that are crucial for ensuring that the municipal services are provided efficiently and effectively. <br /><br />1. Access: Access refers to the ability of residents to access the municipal services they need. High-quality municipal efficacy continuity policies ensure that all residents have equal access to the services they require. <br /><br />Equal access to the services requires providing information about services, ensuring services are available in all areas of the municipality, and making sure that residents can easily access pblic safety services they need.<br /><br />2. Coordination: Coordination involves ensuring that the various municipal services work together seamlessly to provide comprehensive support for residents. <br /><br />Comprehensive support for residents includes coordination between different departments, agencies, and organizations that provide services to residents.<br /><br />High-quality municipal efficacy continuity policies promote effective coordination to ensure that residents receive comprehensive support that meets their needs.<br /><br />3. Comprehensiveness: Comprehensiveness refers to the ability of the municipal services to address the full range of residents&#8217; needs. High-quality municipal efficacy continuity policies ensure that the services provided are comprehensive and meet the diverse needs of the community. <br /><br />Meeting the diverse needs of the community includes providing a wide range of services, such as public safety, transportation, waste management, and social services, to ensure that the needs of all residents are met.<br /><br />Access, coordination, and comprehensiveness are key policy-focused aspects of high-quality municipal efficacy continuity that ensure that municipal services are provided efficiently and effectively. By ensuring equal access to services, promoting effective coordination between departments, and providing comprehensive services to meet the diverse needs of the community, municipalities can ensure that they are providing high-quality services to their residents.<br /><br />Municipal Efficacy, refers to coherently linked , neighbors, families, communities and infrastructure management companies, across lifetimes. <br /><br />Explain Municipal Efficacy Continuity consistency of understanding individual contexts, with longitudinal information, and using this knowledge to build trusting relationships over time.<br /><br />Municipal Efficacy Continuity consistency of understanding individual contexts involves having a deep understanding of the individual needs and contexts of residents and using this knowledge to build trusting relationships over time. This approach involves gathering and utilizing longitudinal information about residents to ensure that municipal services are tailored to meet their unique needs.<br /><br />By understanding individual contexts, municipalities can provide more effective services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of residents. This approach involves gathering data about residents over time, such as their preferences, challenges, and strengths. This information is then used to design services that are personalized to meet their needs.<br /><br />Building trusting relationships over time is also a critical aspect of Municipal Efficacy Continuity. By providing consistent and reliable services, municipalities can build trust with residents and foster a sense of community. Trust is crucial in ensuring that residents are willing to engage with the municipal services and that they are more likely to participate in community programs and initiatives.<br /><br />Continuity consistency of understanding individual contexts with longitudinal information, and using this knowledge to build trusting relationships over time, is essential for providing high-quality municipal services. <br /><br />By gathering and utilizing data about residents over time, municipalities can provide personalized services that meet their unique needs. Building trusting relationships over time is also critical for fostering a sense of community and ensuring that residents are willing to engage with municipal services.</p>

By promoting democratic participation, moderation, and compromise, open primaries can help to ensure that our political process is more representative and responsive to the needs of all Americans.]]></description>

  5821. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Role of Political Moderates in Promoting Democratic Participation</strong></h2>
  5822.  
  5823.  
  5824.  
  5825. <p>Contentious debate and disagreement among different groups regarding who should be allowed to vote is relevant in a republican democracy, where the power of the government is derived from the consent of the governed, i.e., the people. Many Tulsa Oklahomans are also questioning whether the traditional mayor-council form of government is still effective in shaping our future.</p>
  5826.  
  5827.  
  5828.  
  5829. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Introduction</strong></h2>
  5830.  
  5831.  
  5832.  
  5833. <p>In Tulsa Oklahoma there&#8217;s a growing movement among political moderates to advocate for open primary elections as a means of promoting democratic participation. Moreover, the historical context and current state of primary elections in the United States are important, as well as, the arguments for and against open primaries. This article also discusses the role of political moderates in this movement and the potential impact of open primaries on the political landscape. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of this issue for the future of American democracy.</p>
  5834.  
  5835.  
  5836.  
  5837. <p>Primary elections are a crucial part of the American democratic process, serving as the mechanism by which political parties select their candidates for general elections. However, the current system of primary elections in the United States is often criticized for being exclusionary and undemocratic.</p>
  5838.  
  5839.  
  5840.  
  5841. <p>Many states use closed primaries, which only allow registered voters affiliated with a particular party to participate. This system effectively disenfranchises independent voters and those who are not registered with a political party. As a result, the political power of party activists and insiders is amplified, while the voices of ordinary citizens are marginalized.</p>
  5842.

  5845. <p>In recent years, a growing movement among political moderates has emerged to advocate for open primary elections. Open primaries allow all registered voters, regardless of party affiliation, to participate in primary elections. This system is seen as a means of promoting democratic participation, reducing the power of party insiders, and encouraging political moderation and compromise.</p>
  5846.  
  5847.  
  5848.  
  5849. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Historical Context</strong></h2>
  5850.  
  5851.  
  5852.  
  5853. <p>The history of primary elections in the United States is complex and varied. The first primary election was held in Florida in 1901, and the idea quickly spread to other states. However, for much of the 20th century, primary elections were not widely used, and many states relied on party conventions or caucuses to select candidates.  It was not until the 1970s that primary elections became the dominant method of candidate selection. Despite the widespread use of primary elections today, the system has come under increasing criticism in recent years. </p>
  5854.  
  5855.  
  5856.  
  5857. <p>Many argue that primaries have become dominated by extreme partisans, who are more concerned with ideological purity than with winning general elections. This has led to a decline in political moderation and an increase in political polarization.</p>
  5858.  
  5859.  
  5860.  
  5861. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Arguments for and Against Open Primaries</strong></h2>
  5862.  
  5863.  
  5864.  
  5865. <p>Proponents of open primaries argue that they promote democratic participation and encourage moderation and compromise.  By allowing all registered voters to participate, open primaries ensure that a wider range of voices are heard in the candidate selection process. This can help to reduce the influence of party insiders and activists, who often have more extreme views than the general population. </p>
  5866.  
  5867.  
  5868.  
  5869. <ul>
  5870. <li><strong>Open primaries also encourage candidates to appeal to a broader range of voters, rather than just their party base. </strong></li>
  5871.  
  5872.  
  5873.  
  5874. <li><strong>Opponents of open primaries argue that they are undemocratic and can lead to strategic voting and gaming of the system.</strong></li>
  5875.  
  5876.  
  5877.  
  5878. <li><strong>Opponents of open primaries also argue that they can be easily manipulated by outside groups, who may seek to influence the outcome of the primary by encouraging their members to vote for a particular candidate.</strong></li>
  5879. </ul>
  5880.  
  5881.  
  5882.  
  5883. <p>This can lead to a more moderate and pragmatic political climate, where compromise and bipartisanship are valued. They argue that allowing voters from one party to participate in another party&#8217;s primary can result in weaker candidates being selected, as voters may choose to support a candidate they perceive as less electable in the general election. This can lead to a less competitive and less representative general election. </p>
  5884.  
  5885.  
  5886.  
  5887. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Role of Political Moderates</strong></h2>
  5888.  
  5889.  
  5890.  
  5891. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Political moderates have played a crucial role in advocating for open primaries.</strong></h5>
  5892.  
  5893.  
  5894.  
  5895. <p>Moderates are often excluded from the primary process, as they are less likely to be affiliated with a political party. This has led many moderates to become disillusioned with the political process and to disengage from politics altogether.</p>
  5896.  
  5897.  
  5898.  
  5899. <p></p>
  5900.  
  5901.  
  5902.  
  5903. <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Political moderates now align themselves with nonpartisan political moderates to push open primary elections.</strong></h5>
  5904.  
  5905.  
  5906.  
  5907. <p>Fighting over balloting voters remains relevant in a republican democracy, where voters increasingly see a future that is detached from a mayor-council form of government.</p>
  5908.  
  5909.  
  5910.  
  5911. <p>Tulsa, Oklahoma voters increasingly see a future that is detached from the traditional mayor-council form of government. This indicates a growing dissatisfaction with the current political system and a desire for change. Voters may be seeking a more independent or decentralized form of government.<br /><br />I think it’s interesting how political moderates are teaming up with non-partisan moderates to advocate for open primary elections.<br /><br />Contentious debate and disagreement among different groups regarding who should be allowed to vote is relevant in a republican democracy, where the power of the government is derived from the consent of the governed, i.e., the people.<br /><br />Many people are also questioning whether the traditional mayor-council form of government is still effective in shaping our future.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see how these discussions and debates play out in Tulsa Oklahoma. They may have significant implications for the political landscape in the coming years.</p>
  5912.  
  5913.  
  5914.  
  5915. <p>By advocating for open primaries, moderates are seeking to promote democratic participation and to ensure that their voices are heard in the candidate selection process.</p>
  5916.  
  5917.  
  5918.  
  5919. <p>Moderates are also seen as a key constituency in the fight against political polarization. By promoting moderation and compromise, open primaries can help to reduce the influence of extreme partisans and encourage a more collaborative political climate. This can lead to more effective governance and better outcomes for all Americans.</p>
  5920.  
  5921.  
  5922.  
  5923. <p>Open primary elections are an important issue for the future of American democracy. By promoting democratic participation, moderation, and compromise, open primaries can help to ensure that our political process is more representative and responsive to the needs of all Americans. </p>
  5924.  
  5925.  
  5926.  
  5927. <p>The role of political moderates in advocating for open primaries cannot be overstated. We must continue to work towards a more inclusive and democratic electoral system, one that encourages the participation of all citizens and promotes the values of moderation and compromise.</p>

  5952. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Comprehensive Analysis</h2>
  5953.  
  5954.  
  5955.  
  5956. <p>Modular working environments refer to the use of individual components or modules that can be combined in various configurations to create a customized workspace. These environments are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility and adaptability. However, the absence of continuity in modular environments can pose significant challenges for workers and employers alike. </p>
  5957.  
  5958.  
  5959.  
  5960. <p>In game environments, modular assets are building blocks that have strict parameters to fit together.&nbsp;This allows for a few pieces to be reused to create variety.&nbsp;However, modular architecture in games can also add extra work and cause production delays.&nbsp;</p>
  5961.  
  5962.  
  5963.  
  5964. <p>Modular construction can also have other limitations, including:&nbsp;</p>
  5965.  
  5966.  
  5967.  
  5968. <ul>
  5969. <li>Limited customization</li>
  5970.  
  5971.  
  5972.  
  5973. <li>Low resale value</li>
  5974.  
  5975.  
  5976.  
  5977. <li>Land and location restrictions</li>
  5978.  
  5979.  
  5980.  
  5981. <li>Tricky financing</li>
  5982.  
  5983.  
  5984.  
  5985. <li>Transportation costs</li>
  5986. </ul>
  5987.  
  5988.  
  5989.  
  5990. <p>However, modular construction can also provide users with flexibility, adaptable interfaces, standardized repair, durability, and personalization.&nbsp;</p>
  5991.  
  5992.  
  5993.  
  5994. <p>Modular working environments without continuity has impacts on productivity, employee satisfaction, and organizational efficiency. According to ScienceDirect.com, a lack of visual continuity in modular architecture can lead to aesthetic problems. This can result in a functional structure that is visually incoherent.&nbsp;</p>
  5995.  
  5996.  
  5997.  
  5998. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is a Modular Working Environment without Continuity?</h2>
  5999.  
  6000.  
  6001.  
  6002. <p>A modular working environment without continuity refers to a workspace that is composed of individual components or modules that are not designed to interlock or connect. This means that the modules can be rearranged or reconfigured in various ways, but the resulting workspace may lack continuity. For example, an office that consists of individual cubicles or workstations without any shared spaces or common areas would be considered a modular working environment without continuity.</p>
  6003.  
  6004.  
  6005.  
  6006. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impacts on Productivity</h2>
  6007.  
  6008.  
  6009.  
  6010. <p>One of the primary concerns with modular working environments without continuity is their impact on productivity. In a workspace without continuity, employees may experience difficulties in communicating and collaborating. The lack of shared spaces or common areas can make it challenging to hold meetings or engage in group activities, which can hinder productivity.</p>
  6011.  
  6012.  
  6013.  
  6014. <p>Furthermore, the absence of continuity can also lead to a sense of disconnection among employees. Without a shared workspace, employees may feel isolated and disconnected from their colleagues, which can impact their motivation and morale. This can result in a decrease in productivity and a lack of engagement with work tasks.</p>
  6015.  
  6016.  
  6017.  
  6018. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impacts on Employee Satisfaction</h2>
  6019.  
  6020.  
  6021.  
  6022. <p>Modular working environments without continuity can also have a significant impact on employee satisfaction. Employees who work in a workspace without continuity may feel that they lack a sense of belonging or connection to their organization. This can lead to feelings of disengagement and dissatisfaction with their work environment.</p>
  6023.  
  6024.  
  6025.  
  6026. <p>Additionally, the lack of continuity can make it challenging for employees to personalize their workspace. Without a designated workspace, employees may have difficulty creating a sense of ownership or personalization in their environment, which can impede their emotional connection to their work and the organization.</p>
  6027.  
  6028.  
  6029.  
  6030. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impacts on Organizational Efficiency</h2>
  6031.  
  6032.  
  6033.  
  6034. <p>A modular environment is a 3D space made up of reusable assets that can be snapped together to create different configurations of a larger complex object. </p>
  6035.  
  6036.  
  6037.  
  6038. <p>The absence of continuity in modular working environments can also impact organizational efficiency. A workspace without continuity may require additional resources to manage and maintain. For example, if the workspace is composed of individual components that can be rearranged, it may be necessary to have a dedicated team to manage and maintain the components to ensure their proper functioning.</p>
  6039.  
  6040.  
  6041.  
  6042. <p>Additionally, the lack of continuity can make it challenging for organizations to develop a cohesive culture. In 3D modeling, modular design allows 3D models to be created as a collection of reusable components or modules. These modules can be easily combined and rearranged to create new designs or variations. Without a shared workspace, it may be difficult to foster a sense of community and shared values among employees. This can hinder the development of a strong organizational culture, which can impact the overall efficiency of the organization.</p>
  6043.  
  6044.  
  6045.  
  6046. <p>Modular working environments without continuity can have significant impacts on productivity, employee satisfaction, and organizational efficiency. The absence of continuity can make it challenging for employees to communicate and collaborate effectively, leading to a decrease in productivity. </p>
  6047.  
  6048.  
  6049.  
  6050. <p>Additionally, the lack of a shared workspace can impact employee satisfaction and hinder the development of a strong organizational culture. As organizations continue to explore modular working environments, it is essential to consider the potential impacts of continuity on the overall success of the workspace and the organization as a whole.</p>

  6054. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tips for Developing a Cohesive Culture in Remote Work Environments</h2>
  6055.  
  6056.  
  6057.  
  6058. <p>As remote work becomes increasingly common, organizations are facing new challenges in developing and maintaining a cohesive culture among their remote workforce. Building a sense of community and shared values can be difficult when employees are working in different locations and time zones. However, with the right strategies, it is possible to develop a strong organizational culture in remote work environments. </p>
  6059.  
  6060.  
  6061.  
  6062. <p>In game environments, modular mesh assets are pieces of 3D geometry that can be reused and combined to create different levels and environments.</p>
  6063.  
  6064.  
  6065.  
  6066. <p>Here are some tips for developing a cohesive culture in remote work environments:</p>
  6067.  
  6068.  
  6069.  
  6070. <ol>
  6071. <li><strong>Establish clear communication channels</strong><br />Clear communication is critical to building a cohesive culture in remote work environments.

  6073.  
  6074.  
  6075. <li><strong>Encourage regular virtual team meetings</strong><br />Virtual team meetings can help remote workers feel connected to their colleagues and the organization. Regular team meetings can promote open communication and collaboration, and provide an opportunity for employees to share ideas and feedback.</li>
  6076.  
  6077.  
  6078.  
  6079. <li><strong>Foster a sense of community</strong><br />Organizations should encourage employees to connect with each other on a personal level. This can include virtual team building activities, social events, and recognition programs. By fostering a sense of community, remote workers are more likely to feel connected to their colleagues and the organization.</li>
  6080.  
  6081.  
  6082.  
  6083. <li><strong>Establish a clear set of core values</strong><br />Core values are the foundation of a strong organizational culture. Organizations should establish a clear set of core values that reflect the company&#8217;s mission and vision. These values should be communicated regularly to employees and should guide decision-making at all levels of the organization.</li>
  6084.  
  6085.  
  6086.  
  6087. <li><strong>Provide opportunities for professional development</strong><br />Remote workers may feel disconnected from their career path and development opportunities. Organizations should provide opportunities for professional development, such as virtual training and coaching sessions, to help remote workers feel engaged and supported in their career development.</li>
  6088.  
  6089.  
  6090.  
  6091. <li><strong>Emphasize work-life balance</strong><br />One of the benefits of remote work is the flexibility it provides. However, this can also lead to employees feeling overworked and burnt out. Organizations should emphasize the importance of work-life balance, and provide resources and support for employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance.</li>
  6092.  
  6093.  
  6094.  
  6095. <li><strong>Celebrate successes and milestones</strong><br />Celebrating successes and milestones can help build a sense of community and shared achievement in remote work environments. Organizations should regularly recognize and celebrate employee achievements, such as project milestones or team accomplishments.</li>
  6096. </ol>
  6097.  
  6098.  
  6099.  
  6100. <p>Developing a cohesive culture in remote work environments requires intentional effort and a focus on communication, community, and shared values. By implementing these strategies, organizations can build a strong sense of community and engagement among their remote workforce.</p>

  6168.  
  6169. <p>High speeds make a crash more likely because drivers have less time to react and because it requires a longer distance to stop or slow down. They also make collisions more deadly because modest increases in speed cause large increases in crash energy.</p>
  6170.  
  6171.  
  6172.  
  6173. <p>Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury and death worldwide. While there are many factors that contribute to car accidents, speed is often cited as a major culprit. But at what speed do most car accidents happen? According to Impact Medical Group, most car accidents occur at speeds below 40 mph. </p>
  6174.  
  6175.  
  6176.  
  6177. <p>For every 10 mph of increased speed, the risk of dying in a crash doubles. For example, increasing driving speed from 60 mph to 80 mph increases the risk of a fatal crash by 4 times. </p>
  6178.  
  6179.  
  6180.  
  6181. <p>In a 30 mph collision with a car, pedestrians have a 6.8% chance of dying, but a 36.8% chance of suffering severe injuries. </p>
  6182.  
  6183.  
  6184.  
  6185. <p>Speeding can be dangerous for many reasons, including: </p>
  6186.  
  6187.  
  6188.  
  6189. <ul>
  6190. <li>Increased risk of accidents:  Speeding increases the risk of accidents, including rollovers, and can lead to more severe injuries.</li>

  6282. <p>Smart pedestrian crosswalk intersection technology refers to the integration of various technologies, such as sensors, cameras, and wireless communication systems, into pedestrian crosswalk intersections to enhance safety and efficiency. These technologies can be used to detect the presence of pedestrians, monitor traffic flow, and adjust traffic signal timings to ensure safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and vehicles.<br /><br />One of the most significant technological innovations in pedestrian crosswalk intersections is the introduction of smart traffic signal systems. These systems use sensors to detect the presence of pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles and adjust the traffic signal timings accordingly. This ensures that pedestrians have sufficient time to cross the street safely and reduces the waiting time for vehicles, resulting in a more efficient traffic flow. Studies have shown that smart traffic signal systems can reduce pedestrian crossing times by up to 30%, resulting in significant improvements in pedestrian safety and traffic flow (Li et al. 2019).<br /><br />Another technological innovation in pedestrian crosswalk intersections is the use of pedestrian detection systems that use sensors and cameras to detect the presence of pedestrians and alert drivers accordingly. These systems can be integrated into crosswalk beacons and traffic signal systems to provide an extra layer of safety for pedestrians. One study found that the use of pedestrian detection systems reduced pedestrian accidents by up to 35% (Wu et al. 2018).<br /><br />The use of wireless communication systems is also becoming increasingly popular in pedestrian crosswalk intersections. These systems allow for real-time communication between traffic signal systems, pedestrian detection systems, and other transportation infrastructure, enabling more efficient traffic management and improved pedestrian safety. For example, wireless communication systems can be used to provide real-time information on traffic flow, pedestrian volumes, and transit schedules, enabling more efficient management of transportation systems (Xu et al. 2017).</p>

  6953. <p>Essentially, these are workspaces that can be easily reconfigured to meet the changing needs of the people using them. This approach to workspace design is gaining traction because it offers many benefits for both employees and employers.<br /><br />One of the primary benefits of modular working environments is the flexibility they provide. With modular workspaces, it is easy to adapt the space to changing needs, whether that is accommodating new hires, changing project requirements, or simply responding to shifts in work patterns. This flexibility can help to boost productivity, as employees can work in an environment that is tailored to their needs.<br /><br />Another key benefit of modular working environments is the way they enable employees to stay connected through shared experiences, interests, and priorities. By allowing employees to work in a shared environment, modular workspaces foster a sense of community and collaboration that can help to build stronger and more productive teams. This can lead to increased employee engagement, better communication, and improved morale, all of which are crucial for a successful and healthy workplace.<br /><br />Modular working environments offer many benefits for employers and employees alike. They are flexible, and adaptable, and foster collaboration, making them an ideal choice for modern workplaces. By providing a workspace that is tailored to the needs of the people using it, modular workspaces can help to create a more productive, engaged, and connected workforce.<br /><br />Modular working environments have been a topic of interest for researchers and organizations offering flexible and adaptable spaces where employees work.<br /><br />Several studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of modular working environments on various aspects of organizational performance. <br /><br />A study by Hua and Johansson (2016) found that organizations that implemented modular workstations reported an increase in productivity and employee satisfaction. The study also highlighted the importance of providing employees with a variety of work settings to choose from, as it helped to reduce distractions and increase focus on tasks. <br /><br />Another study by Kim and de Dear (2013) examined the impact of modular office design on employee satisfaction and found that employees who worked in modular offices reported higher levels of job satisfaction, compared to those who worked in traditional offices. The study attributed this to the flexibility and adaptability of modular office designs, which allowed employees to personalize their work environment to suit their individual needs. <br /><br />In terms of organizational performance, a study by Knight and Haslam (2010) found that modular office designs were associated with increased levels of organizational commitment and job performance. The study suggested that modular office designs promoted a sense of community and collaboration among employees, which in turn led to improved organizational outcomes.<br /><br />Modular working environments have a positive impact on productivity, employee satisfaction, and organizational performance. However, more research is needed to fully understand the benefits and limitations of modular office designs, as well as the factors that influence their effectiveness in different organizational contexts.<br /><br />Modular working environments are designed to offer flexibility, customization, and scalability to meet the changing needs of the people using them. These key features are what make modular workspaces so popular.<br /><br />Flexibility is a key feature of modular working environments. This means that the workspace can be easily reconfigured to meet the changing needs of employees. For example, if there is a need to create a meeting space, the modular furniture can be easily rearranged to create a space for collaboration. </p>
  6954.  
  6955.  
  6956.  
  6957. <p>This flexibility can help to boost productivity, as employees can work in an environment that is tailored to their needs.<br /><br />Customization is another important feature of modular working environments. This means that the workspace can be personalized to suit the individual needs of the employees. For example, an employee who needs a quiet space to focus on work can use a modular workstation with soundproofing capabilities.</p>
  6958.  
  6959.  
  6960.  
  6961. <p>Customization can help to improve employee satisfaction and engagement, as employees feel that their needs are being considered and met.<br /><br />Scalability is the third key feature of modular working environments. This means that the workspace can be easily expanded or contracted as needed. For example, if there is a need to accommodate more employees, modular workstations can be added to the workspace. </p>
  6962.  
  6963.  
  6964.  
  6965. <p>On the other hand, if there is a need to reduce the size of the workspace, the modular furniture can be easily reconfigured to create a smaller workspace. This scalability can help organizations save money by reducing the need for expensive office renovations.<br /><br />The flexibility, customization, and scalability of modular working environments are what make them attractive as an option for modern workplaces. These key features allow organizations to create a workspace that is tailored to the needs of employees which can help to improve productivity, employee satisfaction, and engagement.</p>

  7020. <p>In 2020 each day, more than 136 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids. The misuse of and abuse of opioids—including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl— is a serious national crisis that affects public health, as well as, social and economic welfare.  Now, in 2022, the deaths each day continue to paint a picture of the dire situation:</p>

  7025. <li>More than 100 people die every day from opioid overdoses.</li>

  7037. <li>Opioid addiction obviously contributes to prison sentencing. And the CDC reported in 2010, 85% of the U.S. prison population was incarcerated for substance-related reasons, with over half of all inmates diagnosed with substance use disorders.</li>

  7179.  
  7180.  
  7181. <p>Opioid Abuse &amp; Suicide has become a major public health crisis in the United States, with over 130 people dying every day from opioid-related drug overdoses. But the impact of this epidemic goes beyond just overdose deaths. </p>
  7182.  
  7183.  
  7184.  
  7185. <p>Opioid abuse has also been linked to an increase in suicide rates, particularly in rural areas.</p>
  7186.  
  7187.  
  7188.  
  7189. <p>The connection between opioid abuse and suicide is discussed in the Rural Opioid Abuse Prevention Act, a new legislation aimed at addressing this issue.  </p>
  7190.  
  7191.  
  7192.  
  7193. <p>Studies have shown that individuals who abuse opioids are at a higher risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This is due to the effects of opioids on the brain, which can lead to changes in mood, behavior, and decision-making. </p>
  7194.  
  7195.  
  7196.  
  7197. <p>Opioid abuse can also exacerbate underlying mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, which are known risk factors for suicide.<br /><br />The social and economic consequences of opioid abuse, such as job loss, financial strain, and strained relationships, can also contribute to feelings of hopelessness and despair, increasing the risk of suicide.  </p>
  7198.  
  7199.  
  7200.  
  7201. <p>In response to the growing opioid epidemic and its impact on rural communities, the Rural Opioid Abuse Prevention Act was introduced in Congress in 2019. This legislation aims to address the unique challenges faced by rural areas in combating opioid abuse and its consequences.<br /><br />The act includes provisions for increasing access to treatment and recovery services in rural areas, as well as funding for prevention and education programs. </p>
  7202.  
  7203.  
  7204.  
  7205. <p>It also includes measures to improve data collection and monitoring of opioid abuse in rural communities, which can help inform future prevention efforts.<br /><br />One of the lesser-known consequences of opioid abuse is the risk of colon burst, also known as colonic perforation. This occurs when the colon becomes weakened and ruptures due to chronic constipation caused by opioid use. This can lead to serious complications, including sepsis and death.<br /><br />The risk of colon burst is particularly high in individuals who abuse opioids through injection, as the drugs can cause damage to the colon and surrounding tissues. This is just one of the many devastating consequences of opioid abuse that highlights the urgent need for prevention and treatment efforts.<br /><br />If you or someone you know is struggling with opioid abuse, it is important to seek help immediately. There are many resources available, including hotlines, support groups, and treatment centers. Remember, recovery is possible and seeking help is the first step towards a healthier and happier life.<br /><br />The connection between opioid abuse and suicide is a serious issue that requires immediate attention. </p>
  7206.  
  7207.  
  7208.  
  7209. <p>The Rural Opioid Abuse Prevention Act is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to address this crisis. By raising awareness and providing support and resources, we can help prevent opioid abuse and save lives.</p>

They recommend establishing a balance between exercise and rest, ensuring that both are given appropriate attention in a fitness regimen.<br /><br />4. <strong>Seek support</strong>: Going through a breakup can be a lonely experience. Reach out to your friends, family, or a therapist for emotional support. Talking about your feelings and emotions can help you process them and move forward.<br /><br />5. <strong>Practice self-care:</strong> Take time for yourself and engage in activities that make you happy and relaxed.

  7468. <p>Slow down. It’s harder to control or stop your vehicle on a slick or snow-covered surface. In fact, in 2021, there were an estimated 121,156 police-reported crashes that occurred when there was snow/sleet conditions at the time of the crash. On the road, increase your following distance enough so that you’ll have plenty of time to stop for vehicles ahead of you.<br /><br />Don’t crowd a snow plow or travel beside the truck. Snow plows travel slowly, make wide turns, stop often, overlap lanes, and exit the road frequently. If you find yourself behind a snow plow, stay far enough behind it and use caution if you pass the plow.</p>

  7480. <p>Let your car be seen. Put bright markers on the antenna or windows and keep the interior dome light on. <br />Be mindful of carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure your exhaust pipe is clear of any snow and run your car only sporadically — just long enough to stay warm. Don’t run your car for long periods of time with the windows up or in an enclosed space.</p>

  7525. <p>Public Policy Bunker: Ensuring Transportation Safety<br /><br />Transportation safety is a fundamental aspect of the modern world, as millions of people rely on various modes of transportation to commute every day. Road accidents, train derailments, and airplane crashes are some of the most common forms of transportation accidents that can have catastrophic consequences.</p>
  7526.  
  7527.  
  7528.  
  7529. <p>Governments across the globe have implemented various public policies to ensure transportation safety, including regulations on speed limits, vehicle safety standards, and driver training programs. However, there is always room for improvement in the field of transportation safety, and policymakers must continuously evaluate and update their policies to ensure the safety and well-being of their citizens.<br /><br />One of the most effective ways to ensure transportation safety is by creating public policy bunkers. Public policy bunkers refer to the process of creating a set of comprehensive and integrated policies that are designed to address all aspects of transportation safety. </p>
  7530.  
  7531.  
  7532.  
  7533. <p>These policies should cover everything from vehicle safety standards to driver training programs, and should be designed to work together in a cohesive manner to ensure maximum safety.<br /><br />One key aspect of transportation safety policy is vehicle safety standards. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for setting safety standards for all vehicles sold in the United States. </p>
  7534.  
  7535.  
  7536.  
  7537. <p>These standards cover everything from seat belts to airbags, and are designed to ensure that vehicles are as safe as possible for drivers and passengers. In addition, the NHTSA also conducts crash tests on new vehicles to evaluate their safety and provide consumers with information about the safety of different models.<br /><br />Another important aspect of transportation safety policy is driver training programs. These programs are designed to teach drivers the skills and knowledge they need to operate their vehicles safely and responsibly. In some cases, these programs are mandatory, such as for commercial truck drivers or new drivers. In other cases, they are voluntary, but encouraged, such as defensive driving courses for experienced drivers.<br /><br />Public policy bunkers also include regulations on speed limits, traffic laws, and enforcement mechanisms. Speed limits are designed to reduce the likelihood of accidents caused by excessive speed, while traffic laws are designed to ensure that drivers follow safe and responsible driving practices.</p>
  7538.  
  7539.  
  7540.  
  7541. <p>Enforcement mechanisms, such as fines and penalties for traffic violations, are designed to deter unsafe driving practices and ensure that drivers are held accountable for their actions on the road.<br /><br />In addition to these policies, public policy bunkers must also include emergency response protocols. In the event of a transportation accident, emergency responders need to be able to quickly and efficiently respond to the scene to provide assistance and medical care to those in need. These protocols should be designed to ensure that emergency responders have the resources and training they need to respond to any type of transportation accident, from a minor fender bender to a major train derailment.<br /><br />Public policy bunkers are an essential tool for ensuring transportation safety. These comprehensive and integrated policies cover all aspects of transportation safety, from vehicle safety standards to emergency response protocols. </p>
  7542.  
  7543.  
  7544.  
  7545. <p>By implementing these policies, policymakers can help to ensure that citizens are able to travel safely and confidently, without fear of accidents or other transportation-related incidents. <br /><br /><strong>Works Cited</strong>:<br /><br />“National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).” NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, <a href="http://www.nhtsa.gov/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nhtsa.gov/</a>.<br /><br />“Transportation Safety.” National Safety Council, <a href="http://www.nsc.org/home-safety/safety-topics/transportation-safety" rel="nofollow">http://www.nsc.org/home-safety/safety-topics/transportation-safety</a>. <br /><br />“Vehicle Safety Standards.” Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, <a href="http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/commercial-drivers-license/vehicle-safety-standards" rel="nofollow">http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/commercial-drivers-license/vehicle-safety-standards</a>.</p>

  7578. <p>Real estate investment is one of the most lucrative and rewarding ways to build wealth. Whether you are a seasoned investor or a novice, the real estate market offers an abundance of opportunities to earn significant returns. However, getting started in the real estate market can be overwhelming, especially if you are new to the industry. In this article, we will provide a detailed step-by-step guide for beginners to help you get started in the real estate market.<br /><br />Step 1: Educate Yourself<br /><br />Before you start investing in real estate, it is essential to educate yourself about the market. You need to learn about the different types of real estate investments, market trends, financing options, and tax implications. You can attend seminars, read books, and enroll in online courses to gain knowledge about the real estate industry. Some recommended resources include:<br /><br />&#8211; &#8220;The Millionaire Real Estate Investor&#8221; by Gary Keller<br />&#8211; &#8220;The Book on Rental Property Investing&#8221; by Brandon Turner<br />&#8211; &#8220;Real Estate Investing for Beginners&#8221; by Michael Ezeanaka<br /><br />Step 2: Determine Your Investment Goals<br /><br />The next step is to determine your investment goals. You need to decide what type of real estate investment you want to pursue and what your investment goals are. For example, do you want to invest in rental properties for long-term passive income, or do you want to flip houses for a quick profit? You need to have a clear idea of your investment goals to develop a strategy that aligns with your objectives.<br /><br />Step 3: Develop a Real Estate Investment Plan<br /><br />Once you have determined your investment goals, you need to develop a real estate investment plan. This plan should include your budget, financing options, property criteria, and target market. You can work with a real estate agent or a financial advisor to develop a comprehensive investment plan that meets your investment goals.<br /><br />Step 4: Secure Financing<br /><br />Real estate investment requires significant capital, and you need to secure financing to fund your investment. You can obtain financing through traditional banks, private lenders, or real estate crowdfunding platforms. You need to consider the financing terms, interest rates, and repayment schedule before choosing a financing option.<br /><br />Step 5: Find Properties<br /><br />Once you have secured financing, you need to find properties that meet your investment criteria. You can search for properties online, attend real estate auctions, or work with a real estate agent to find suitable properties. You need to consider the property location, condition, and potential for appreciation before making an offer.<br /><br />Step 6: Conduct Due Diligence<br /><br />Before you make an offer on a property, you need to conduct due diligence to ensure that the property meets your investment criteria. You need to inspect the property, review the title, and evaluate the potential for rental income or resale value. You can work with a real estate attorney or a property inspector to conduct due diligence.<br /><br />Step 7: Make an Offer<br /><br />If the property meets your investment criteria after conducting due diligence, you can make an offer to the seller. You need to negotiate the terms of the sale, including the purchase price, closing date, and contingencies. You can work with a real estate agent or an attorney to make a formal offer.<br /><br />Step 8: Close the Deal<br /><br />If the seller accepts your offer, you need to close the deal by signing the purchase agreement and transferring the ownership of the property. You need to work with a title company or escrow agent to complete the transaction and ensure that all legal requirements are met.<br /><br />In conclusion, getting started in the real estate market requires careful planning, research, and due diligence. By following this step-by-step guide, you can develop a successful real estate investment strategy that aligns with your investment goals. Remember to continuously educate yourself about the real estate industry and stay up to date with market trends to make informed investment decisions.<br /><br />Works Cited<br /><br />Ezeanaka, Michael.

  7609. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inherently Work Zones are Dangerous </h2>
  7610.  
  7611.  
  7612.  
  7613. <p>Work zones pose a significant risk to public safety due to the presence of construction workers, heavy equipment, and temporary traffic control devices. <br /><br />The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that over 700 fatalities and 50,000 injuries occur annually in work zones in the United States (NHTSA, 2019). <br /><br />To mitigate these risks, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) to guide the proper use of traffic control devices in work zones. <br /><br />We will review the key components of work zone safety and the use of municipal uniform traffic control devices (MUTCD), including pedestrian and motorist laws.</p>
  7614.  
  7615.  
  7616.  
  7617. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work Zone Safety</h2>
  7618.  
  7619.  
  7620.  
  7621. <p>The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines a work zone as “an area of a highway with construction, maintenance, or utility work activities” (OSHA, 2020). <br /><br />Work zones are typically marked by temporary traffic control devices, such as cones, barrels, and signs, which guide motorists and pedestrians through the area. Work zones can be hazardous due to reduced visibility, narrow lanes, sharp curves, and uneven surfaces. </p>
  7622.  
  7623.  
  7624.  
  7625. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">To minimize the risks, the FHWA recommends the following safety measures:</h2>
  7626.  
  7627.  
  7628.  
  7629. <p>1. Use of appropriate traffic control devices: The MUTCD provides guidelines for the use of traffic control devices, such as cones, barrels, and signs. These devices should be used to guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the work zone.<br /><br />2. Proper signage: Work zones should be marked with proper signage, including speed limit signs, warning signs, and lane closure signs. These signs should be visible to motorists and pedestrians approaching the work zone.<br /><br />3. Adequate lighting: Work zones should be adequately lit to improve visibility for motorists and pedestrians. Lighting should be provided for both daytime and nighttime work.<br /><br />4. Proper flagging operations: Flagging operations should be conducted by trained personnel who use appropriate signals to guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the work zone.<br /><br />5. Enforcement of traffic laws: Law enforcement officers should be present at work zones to enforce traffic laws and ensure the safety of workers and motorists.</p>
  7630.  
  7631.  
  7632.  
  7633. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Municipal Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)</h2>
  7634.  
  7635.  
  7636.  
  7637. <p>The MUTCD guides the proper use of traffic control devices in work zones. The MUTCD standards apply to all public streets, highways, bikeways, and private roads open to public travel. <br /><br />The standards include guidelines for the design, placement, and operation of traffic control devices, such as signs, signals, and markings. The MUTCD standards also specify the minimum retro reflectivity levels for traffic signs and pavement markings.</p>
  7638.  
  7639.  
  7640.  
  7641. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pedestrian Laws</h2>
  7642.  
  7643.  
  7644.  
  7645. <p>Pedestrians are at risk in work zones due to the presence of heavy equipment and temporary traffic control devices. To ensure pedestrian safety, the MUTCD provides guidelines for the use of pedestrian control devices, such as barricades, signs, and delineators. Pedestrian crossing areas should be marked with appropriate signage, such as &#8220;Pedestrian Crossing&#8221; signs. <br /><br />In addition, pedestrian walkways should be provided with adequate lighting to improve visibility.</p>
  7646.  
  7647.  
  7648.  
  7649. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Motorist Laws</h2>
  7650.  
  7651.  
  7652.  
  7653. <p>Motorists pose a significant risk in work zones due to their speed and the presence of workers and heavy equipment. To ensure motorist safety, the MUTCD provides guidelines for the use of traffic control devices, such as speed limit signs, warning signs, and lane closure signs. Motorists should be required to slow down and observe posted speed limits in work zones. <br />In addition, law enforcement officers should be present to enforce traffic laws and ensure the safety of workers and motorists.</p>
  7654.  
  7655.  
  7656.  
  7657. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>
  7658.  
  7659.  
  7660.  
  7661. <p>Work zones pose a significant risk to public safety due to the presence of construction workers, heavy equipment, and temporary traffic control devices. To mitigate these risks, the FHWA developed the MUTCD to guide the proper use of traffic control devices in work zones. The MUTCD standards apply to all public streets, highways, bikeways, and private roads open to public travel. The standards include guidelines for the design, placement, and operation of traffic control devices. In addition, the MUTCD provides guidelines for the use of pedestrian and motorist control devices to ensure the safety of workers and the public.

  7964. <p><strong>Definition of Responsible Driving</strong></p>
  7965.  
  7966.  
  7967.  
  7968. <p>Responsible driving means being aware of your surroundings while on the roads and driving in an attentive and cautious manner. It also means that drivers adhere to speed limits and obey all traffic laws and regulations to ensure the safety of other drivers, pedestrians, and property. Responsible driving also involves avoiding distractions such as texting, eating, drinking, adjusting music or the radio, or other activities that take your focus away from the basic act of driving. All of these are essential for making sure that everyone is safe on the roads and for reducing the risk of accidents.</p>
  7969.  
  7970.  
  7971.  
  7972. <p>The safest thing for pedestrians to do in work zones is to avoid the construction area.&nbsp;If it&#8217;s not possible to avoid the area, pedestrians should:&nbsp;</p>

  7977. <li>Be attentive and careful</li>
  7978.

  7980.

  7982.  
  7983.  
  7984.  
  7985. <li>Use clear, designated routes through and around work zones</li>
  7986.  
  7987.  
  7988.  
  7989. <li>Avoid creating pedestrian paths that lead pedestrians into direct conflicts with work site vehicles, equipment, operations, and vehicular traffic</li>
  7990.  
  7991.

  8068. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Oklahoma governor targets DEI programs in &#8216;anti-discrimination&#8217; executive order</strong></h2>
  8069.  
  8070.  
  8071.  
  8072. <p>Gov. Kevin Stitt signed <a href="https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/41/4f/e5006dd546c2870d360d4e2c3a50/stitt-dei-eo.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an executive order</a> Wednesday targeting diversity, equity and inclusion programs at state agencies and institutions of higher education.<br /><br />The EO prohibits state funds, property or resources from going to certain DEI positions, departments, activities, procedures, programs and mandatory trainings “to the extent they grant preferential treatment based on one person’s particular race, color, ethnicity or national origin <br /><br /><strong>It also prohibits funding from going to programs that:</strong></p>
  8073.  
  8074.  
  8075.  
  8076. <ul>
  8077. <li>Mandate a person to swear, certify or agree to a loyalty oath favoring one race, color, sex, ethnicity or national origin over another’s.</li>
  8078.  
  8079.  
  8080.  
  8081. <li>Mandate an applicant for employment to provide a DEI statement or give any applicant preferential consideration based on the applicant providing a DEI statement.</li>
  8082.  
  8083.  
  8084.  
  8085. <li>Mandate any person to disclose their pronouns.</li>
  8086.  
  8087.  
  8088.  
  8089. <li>Mandate a person to certify or declare agreement with, recognition of, or adherence to, any particular political, philosophical, religious or other ideological viewpoint.</li>
  8090. </ul>
  8091.  
  8092.  
  8093.  
  8094. <p>As for a timeline, the EO says agencies should become fully compliant “as soon as practicable,” but no later than May 31, 2024. Prior to that date, agencies are ordered to provide a certificate of compliance and a report to state officials describing the entity’s DEI positions, departments, activities, procedures and programs in existence and identify what parts, if any, were restructured or eliminated due to the EO.</p>
  8095.  
  8096.  
  8097.  
  8098. <p>If an agency fails to comply, they’ll end up on a list that goes to specific appropriations committees, implying a probable cut in funding.  Stitt said at the signing ceremony the EO “see[s] all Oklahomans as equal, regardless of race, color, sex, ethnicity or national origin.”</p>
  8099.  
  8100.  
  8101.  
  8102. <p>“We want to teach our young people that based on your merit and your hard work, that’s how you get ahead,” Stitt said. “And we want to make sure that we don’t lie to the next generation. You’re going to have to work hard. Life is not always fair. You’re going to have to persevere through life to get ahead.”</p>
  8103.  
  8104.  
  8105.  
  8106. <p>Asked if the EO would limit DEI programs that focus on low income students and veterans, Stitt said the language in the order provides for specific allowances like those situations. The order says it does not prohibit institutions from applying for grants or complying with accreditation requirements that require a statement highlighting its work in supporting first generation college students, students from low-income families, students with unique abilities or “underserved student populations.”</p>

  8110. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>DEI and Workplace Culture</strong></h2>
  8111.  
  8112.  
  8113.  
  8114. <p>While DEI initiatives are an important part of creating a positive workplace culture, a proactive approach to resolving disputes using mediation can be even more effective. By promoting communication, collaboration, and respect, mediation can help to prevent future conflicts and build positive relationships between colleagues. Organizations that prioritize mediation as a conflict resolution tool can create a workplace culture that values collaboration, communication, and respect, leading to increased productivity, reduced turnover, and improved employee morale and engagement.</p>
  8115.  
  8116.  
  8117.  
  8118. <p>In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Many companies have implemented DEI policies and programs to promote a more inclusive and diverse workplace. However, some companies have taken a different approach and have implemented dispute resolution mediation (DRM) instead of DEI policies. This paper will explore the advantages and disadvantages of DRM over DEI policies in promoting a more inclusive and diverse workplace.</p>
  8119.  
  8120.  
  8121.  
  8122. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Advantages of DRM over DEI Policies</strong></h2>
  8123.  
  8124.  
  8125.  
  8126. <p>DRM can be a more effective way to address workplace conflicts and promote a more inclusive workplace than DEI policies. DRM allows employees to work through conflicts and disputes in a non-confrontational and facilitated manner. This can help to build trust and understanding between employees, and can lead to a more positive and collaborative work environment. In contrast, DEI policies often focus on addressing past injustices and can create an adversarial environment that can be counterproductive to building a more inclusive workplace.</p>
  8127.  
  8128.  
  8129.  
  8130. <p>DRM can also be more cost-effective than DEI policies. DEI policies often require significant resources to implement and maintain, such as diversity training programs and hiring initiatives. DRM, on the other hand, can be implemented with relatively low cost and can lead to significant savings in terms of reduced turnover and increased productivity.</p>
  8131.  
  8132.  
  8133.  
  8134. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Disadvantages of DRM over DEI Policies</strong></h2>
  8135.  
  8136.  
  8137.  
  8138. <p>While DRM can be effective in promoting a more inclusive and diverse workplace, it also has some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that DRM can be seen as a way to avoid addressing deeper issues of discrimination and bias in the workplace. DEI policies, on the other hand, are explicitly designed to address these issues and can help to create a more equitable workplace.</p>
  8139.  
  8140.  
  8141.  
  8142. <p>DRM can also be less effective in addressing systemic issues of discrimination and bias. While DRM can help to resolve individual conflicts, it may not address the underlying causes of these conflicts, such as systemic biases in hiring and promotion practices.</p>
  8143.  
  8144.  
  8145.  
  8146. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>DRM can be an effective way to promote a more inclusive and diverse workplace</strong></h2>
  8147.  
  8148.  
  8149.  
  8150. <p> DRM is not a substitute for DEI policies. Companies should consider implementing both DRM and DEI policies to promote a more positive and equitable work environment. By doing so, companies can address both individual conflicts and systemic issues of discrimination and bias in the workplace.</p>
  8151.  
  8152.  
  8153.  
  8154. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Diversity Equity and Inclusion versus Mediation:&nbsp; A Modern Comparative Analysis to Resolve Disputes</strong></h2>
  8155.  
  8156.  
  8157.  
  8158. <p>Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and resolving disputes by mediation are two important concepts in the modern world. DEI refers to the idea of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of society, including workplaces, educational institutions, and communities. </p>
  8159.  
  8160.  
  8161.  
  8162. <p>Mediation, on the other hand, is a process of resolving disputes between two or more parties with the help of a neutral third party. In this paper, we will provide a comparative analysis of DEI and resolving disputes by mediation, highlighting their similarities and differences.</p>
  8163.  
  8164.  
  8165.  
  8166. <p><strong>Similarities:</strong></p>
  8167.  
  8168.

  8170. <p>One of the main similarities between DEI and resolving disputes by mediation is that both concepts aim to promote fairness and equality. DEI seeks to create a level playing field for people from diverse backgrounds, while mediation seeks to resolve conflicts in a fair and just manner. Both concepts emphasize the importance of listening to all parties involved and considering their perspectives in decision-making.</p>
  8171.  
  8172.  
  8173.  
  8174. <p>Another similarity is that both DEI and mediation require a certain level of skill and expertise. In the case of DEI, professionals must be knowledgeable about issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and have the necessary skills to implement strategies that promote these values. In mediation, the mediator must be trained in conflict resolution and have the ability to facilitate productive communication between the parties involved.</p>
  8175.  
  8176.  
  8177.  
  8178. <p><strong>Differences:</strong></p>
  8179.  
  8180.  
  8181.  
  8182. <p>One of the main differences between DEI and mediation is that DEI is a proactive approach, while mediation is a reactive approach. DEI seeks to prevent discrimination and promote equity and inclusion before conflicts arise, while mediation is used to resolve conflicts that have already occurred.</p>
  8183.  
  8184.  
  8185.  
  8186. <p>Another difference is that DEI is more focused on structural and systemic issues, while mediation is more focused on interpersonal conflicts. DEI seeks to address issues of inequality and discrimination on a broader scale, while mediation is used to resolve conflicts between individuals or groups.</p>
  8187.  
  8188.  
  8189.  
  8190. <p>Additionally, while DEI is often implemented as a long-term strategy, mediation is usually a short-term solution. DEI requires ongoing efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, while mediation is used to resolve specific conflicts as they arise.</p>
  8191.  
  8192.  
  8193.  
  8194. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Proactive v.s Reactive approaches to resolving disputes using Mediation instead of DEI</strong></h2>
  8195.  
  8196.  
  8197.  
  8198. <p>DEI and resolving disputes by mediation are two important concepts that share some similarities but also have important differences. Both concepts aim to promote fairness and equality, but DEI is a proactive approach focused on structural and systemic issues, while mediation is a reactive approach focused on resolving interpersonal conflicts. Ultimately, both concepts are important for creating a more just and equitable society.</p>
  8199.  
  8200.  
  8201.  
  8202. <p>In recent years, organizations have been increasingly focused on creating diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) workplaces. While these efforts are important, they are often reactive, addressing issues that have already arisen rather than preventing them in the first place. Proactive approaches to resolving disputes using mediation offer a more effective strategy for building a positive workplace culture that values collaboration, communication, and respect.</p>
  8203.  
  8204.  
  8205.  
  8206. <p>Mediation is a form of dispute resolution that involves a neutral third party who helps the parties involved in a dispute to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. This approach has many benefits over traditional adversarial approaches such as litigation or arbitration. It is less costly, less time-consuming, and less adversarial, and it can often lead to more creative and sustainable solutions to workplace problems.</p>
  8207.  
  8208.  
  8209.  
  8210. <p><strong>One of the key advantages of mediation is that it promotes communication and collaboration between parties. </strong></p>
  8211.  
  8212.  
  8213.  
  8214. <p>Unlike adversarial approaches, which can create a win-lose dynamic, mediation encourages all parties to work together to find a mutually acceptable solution. This can help to build positive relationships and increase trust and respect between colleagues.</p>
  8215.  
  8216.  
  8217.  
  8218. <p><strong>Another advantage of mediation is that it can help to prevent future disputes. </strong></p>
  8219.  
  8220.  
  8221.  
  8222. <p>By addressing issues before they escalate, organizations can create a positive workplace culture that values communication and collaboration. This can lead to increased productivity, reduced turnover, and improved employee morale and engagement.</p>
  8223.  
  8224.  
  8225.  
  8226. <p>In contrast, DEI initiatives are often reactive, addressing issues that have already arisen rather than preventing them in the first place. While these efforts are important, they may not be enough to create a positive workplace culture that values collaboration, communication, and respect.</p>
  8227.  
  8228.  
  8229.  
  8230. <p><strong>Mediation can help to address underlying issues that may be contributing to workplace conflicts, such as communication breakdowns, power imbalances, or cultural misunderstandings.</strong></p>
  8231.  
  8232.  
  8233.  
  8234. <ul>
  8235. <li>To implement a proactive approach to conflict resolution using mediation, organizations should ensure that they have a clear policy in place that outlines the mediation process and the role of the mediator. </li>
  8236.  
  8237.  
  8238.  
  8239. <li>They should also provide training to employees and managers on effective communication and conflict resolution skills. </li>
  8240.  
  8241.  
  8242.  
  8243. <li>Finally, they should promote a culture of collaboration and respect in the workplace, where employees feel comfortable raising concerns and working together to find solutions.</li>

  8328.  
  8329.  
  8330.  
  8331. <p>Continuity of Operations (COOP), as defined in the National Continuity Policy Implementation Plan (NCPIP) and the National Security Presidential Directive51/Homeland Security Presidential Directive20 (NSPD-51/HSPD-20), is an effort within individual executive departments and agencies to ensure that Primary Mission Essential Functions (PMEFs) continue to be performed<br />during a wide range of emergencies, including localized acts of nature, accidents and technological or attack-related emergencies.</p>

  8339. <p><strong>What is the Goal of Continuity? </strong></p>
  8340.  
  8341.  
  8342.  
  8343. <p>The ultimate goal of continuity in the executive branch is the continuation of National Essential Functions (NEFs). In order to achieve that goal, the objective for organizations is to identify their Essential Functions (EFs) and ensure that those functions can be continued throughout, or resumed rapidly after, a disruption of normal activities. The Federal Government has an important partnership with other non-federal government entities and with private sector owners and operators who play integral roles in ensuring our homeland security.</p>

  8413. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Readiness and Preparedness</strong></h2>
  8414.  
  8415.  
  8416.  
  8417. <p>The first step in continuity planning is readiness and preparedness. This involves conducting a risk assessment to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities and then developing a plan to mitigate those risks. A comprehensive continuity plan should include procedures for emergency response, communication, and evacuation, as well as backup systems for critical infrastructure and data.</p>

  8422.  
  8423.  
  8424.  
  8425. <p>For example, a business might conduct a risk assessment that identifies the potential for a power outage due to severe weather. The business would then develop a plan that includes procedures for notifying employees, activating backup generators, and relocating critical operations to an off-site location.</p>
  8426.  
  8427.

  8429. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Activation and Relocation</strong></h2>
  8430.  
  8431.  
  8432.  
  8433. <p>The next phase of continuity planning is activation and relocation. This involves implementing the continuity plan in the event of a disruption. Depending on the nature of the disruption, this may involve activating emergency response teams, relocating personnel to an alternate site, or activating backup systems and infrastructure.</p>

  8438.  
  8439.  
  8440.  
  8441. <p>For example, in the event of a cyber attack, a business might activate its incident response team to contain the attack and mitigate the damage. The business might also relocate critical personnel to an off-site location to ensure that operations can continue without interruption.</p>

  8446.  
  8447.  
  8448.  
  8449. <p>Continuity facility operations are the procedures and protocols that are put in place to ensure that critical infrastructure and data can be maintained during a disruption. This includes backup power systems, redundant data storage, and alternative communication systems.</p>
  8450.  
  8451.  
  8452.

  8485. <p>Continuity planning is essential for businesses, organizations, and governments to ensure that they can continue to function in the event of a disruption. By following the key components of readiness and preparedness, activation and relocation, continuity facility operations, and reconstitution, organizations can be better prepared to face a range of potential threats and vulnerabilities. It is important for organizations to regularly review and update their continuity plans to ensure that they remain effective in the face of evolving threats.</p>

  8542. <p><strong>Introduction</strong></p>
  8543.  
  8544.  
  8545.  
  8546. <p>The pandemic has brought to light the importance of continuity planning in the public transportation sector. As the world grapples with the impacts of this and other global crises, it has become clear that public transportation systems must be resilient and adaptable in the face of unexpected disruptions. PACE TULSA will explore the best practices and key strategies for Continuity Planning in Public Transportation Policy, with a focus on the United States.</p>
  8547.  
  8548.  
  8549.  
  8550. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Background</h2>
  8551.  
  8552.  
  8553.  
  8554. <p>Public transportation is a critical component of modern society, providing essential mobility services to millions of people every day. However, disruptions to public transportation systems can have severe consequences, ranging from economic losses to public health risks. In recent years, there has been increasing recognition of the need for continuity planning in the public transportation sector, especially in the wake of natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and other unexpected events.</p>
  8555.  
  8556.  
  8557.  
  8558. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Continuity Planning Best Practices</span></h2>
  8559.  
  8560.  
  8561.  
  8562. <p>To ensure continuity of operations in public transportation, it is essential to adopt a holistic and proactive approach to planning. Key best practices for continuity planning in public transportation include:</p>
  8563.  
  8564.  
  8565.  
  8566. <ol>
  8567. <li>Risk Assessment</li>
  8568. </ol>
  8569.  
  8570.  
  8571.  
  8572. <p>Conducting a comprehensive risk assessment is the first step in developing an effective continuity plan. This involves identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities and assessing their likelihood and potential impact.</p>
  8573.  
  8574.  
  8575.  
  8576. <ol start="2">
  8577. <li>Business Impact Analysis</li>
  8578. </ol>
  8579.  
  8580.  
  8581.  
  8582. <p>A business impact analysis (BIA) helps to identify critical functions and services that must be maintained during a disruption. This includes identifying essential personnel, equipment, and infrastructure.</p>
  8583.  
  8584.  
  8585.  
  8586. <ol start="3">
  8587. <li>Continuity Strategies</li>
  8588. </ol>
  8589.  
  8590.  
  8591.  
  8592. <p>Developing continuity strategies involves identifying alternative means of delivering services and functions, such as backup systems and contingency contracts.</p>
  8593.  
  8594.  
  8595.  
  8596. <ol start="4">
  8597. <li>Testing and Training</li>
  8598. </ol>
  8599.  
  8600.  
  8601.  
  8602. <p>Testing and training are critical components of continuity planning and help to ensure that plans are effective and that personnel are prepared to respond to disruptions.</p>
  8603.  
  8604.  
  8605.  
  8606. <ol start="5">
  8607. <li>Continuous Improvement</li>
  8608. </ol>
  8609.  
  8610.  
  8611.  
  8612. <p>Continuity planning is an ongoing process that requires regular review and updating to ensure that it remains effective and relevant.</p>
  8613.  
  8614.  
  8615.  
  8616. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Public Transportation Policy Strategies</span></h2>
  8617.  
  8618.  
  8619.  
  8620. <p>In addition to continuity planning, public transportation policy strategies can also play a critical role in ensuring the resilience and adaptability of public transportation systems. Key strategies include:</p>
  8621.  
  8622.  
  8623.  
  8624. <ol>
  8625. <li>Multi-Modal Transportation: A multi-modal public transportation system that includes multiple modes of transportation, such as buses, trains, and bicycles, can provide redundancy and flexibility in the face of disruptions.</li>
  8626.  
  8627.  
  8628.  
  8629. <li>Data-Driven Decision-Making: Using data to inform decision-making can help public transportation agencies identify potential disruptions and respond proactively to mitigate their impact.</li>
  8630.  
  8631.  
  8632.  
  8633. <li>Public-Private Partnerships: Public-private partnerships can provide access to additional resources and expertise, helping public transportation agencies to develop and implement effective continuity plans.</li>
  8634.  
  8635.  
  8636.  
  8637. <li>Community Engagement: Engaging with the community is critical to developing effective continuity plans that are responsive to the needs of residents and stakeholders.</li>
  8638. </ol>
  8639.  
  8640.  
  8641.  
  8642. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Adaptable and Resilient Public Transportation Policy Strategies</span></h2>
  8643.  
  8644.  
  8645.  
  8646. <p>The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for continuity planning and public transportation policy strategies that are adaptable and resilient in the face of unexpected disruptions. By adopting best practices for continuity planning and implementing key policy strategies, public transportation agencies can ensure that they are prepared to respond to a range of potential disruptions.</p>

  8694. <p>Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller said the federal government has been spending recklessly and failed to issue debt at low rates in past years, mistakes that will ultimately lead to some tough choices in the future like cutting Social Security.</p>

  8702. <p>The legendary investor, who now runs the Duquesne Family Office, said he was disappointed to find out that the White House is seeking another $56 billion in emergency spending for disaster relief and child-care programs, in addition to the $106 billion the administration wants for Israel and Ukraine.<br /><br />The federal government wound up its fiscal year in September with a deficit just shy of $1.7 trillion, up about $320 billion, or 23.2%, from fiscal 2022. The budget shortfall adds to the staggering U.S. debt total, which stood at nearly $34 trillion.<br /><br />Druckenmiller said government entitlement programs, which make up almost half of the federal budget, might be forced to be pared down in the future. He proposed a cut in Social Security benefits.<br /><br />&#8220;I want to go after entitlements. It&#8217;s where the money is,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This generation has got to take a cut &#8230; right now current seniors, you&#8217;re going to get 100 cents on the dollar. Future seniors looking at five or 10 cents on the dollar, is it not unreasonable for us to go to 85 or 90 cents on the dollar?&#8221;<br /><br />Despite his calls to reduce overall spending, the widely followed investor stressed that it&#8217;s necessary for the U.S. to support Ukraine and disagrees with Republicans urging to stop helping Kyiv in the conflict.<br /><br /><br />&#8220;I was actually happy to see when the announcement the support for Ukraine and Israel $106 billion,&#8221; Druckenmiller said. &#8220;Do you know how much we&#8217;re going to have to spend if Putin wins in Ukraine? It&#8217;s madness.&#8221;<br /><br />The widely followed investor believes the market will be &#8220;very challenged&#8221; in the current environment, and only disciplined stock pickers would be rewarded.</p>

  8961. <p><strong>Create a vision</strong></p>
  8962.  
  8963.  
  8964.  
  8965. <p>I hope you found the questions inspiring and were able to write out a vivid and specific vision for your dream life. Remember to envision all the details, from what you see, smell, and hear, to who you spend your time with and how you spend your days. Don&#8217;t forget to consider where you live, what you do for a living, and how much money you earn. Use the following questions to inspire you:</p>
  8966.  
  8967.  
  8968.  
  8969. <ul>
  8970. <li>What do you see, smell, or hear?&nbsp;</li>
  8971.  
  8972.  
  8973.  
  8974. <li>What does the light look like?&nbsp;</li>
  8975.  
  8976.  
  8977.  
  8978. <li>Who are you with?&nbsp;</li>
  8979.  
  8980.  
  8981.  
  8982. <li>How do you spend your days?&nbsp;</li>
  8983.  
  8984.  
  8985.  
  8986. <li>Where do you live?&nbsp;</li>
  8987.  
  8988.  
  8989.  
  8990. <li>How do you feel?&nbsp;</li>
  8991.  
  8992.  
  8993.  
  8994. <li>What do you do for a living?</li>
  8995.  
  8996.  
  8997.  
  8998. <li>How much money do you earn?</li>
  8999.  
  9000.  
  9001.  
  9002. <li>What is your daily routine?</li>
  9003. </ul>
  9004.  
  9005.  
  9006.  
  9007. <p>Once you have your vision, make a list of steps to achieve it. It&#8217;s important to be realistic, but don&#8217;t hold yourself back from dreaming big. By taking action towards your goals, you can turn your dream life into a reality.</p>
  9008.  
  9009.  
  9010.  
  9011. <p>Try to be realistic, but at the same time, don’t hold yourself back from dreaming big.</p>
  9012.  
  9013.  
  9014.  
  9015. <p><strong>Perform a self-assessment</strong></p>
  9016.  
  9017.  
  9018.  
  9019. <p>A self-assessment of your achievements so far gives you a starting point for your life plan.</p>
  9020.  
  9021.  
  9022.  
  9023. <p>Take stock of your successes as well as your failures. Look for the lessons learned and experiences you don’t want to repeat. Identify your strengths and weaknesses.</p>
  9024.  
  9025.  
  9026.  
  9027. <p>When doing your self-assessment, look at different areas of your life, including:</p>
  9028.  
  9029.  
  9030.  
  9031. <ul>
  9032. <li>Relationships</li>
  9033.  
  9034.  
  9035.  
  9036. <li>Personal growth</li>
  9037.

  9039.  
  9040. <li>Finances</li>

  9050.  
  9051.  
  9052.  
  9053. <p>Grade each area on a satisfaction level of one to five. This will help you identify your strengths as well as your areas for improvement.</p>
  9054.  
  9055.  
  9056.  
  9057. <p><strong>Prioritize your life</strong></p>
  9058.  
  9059.  
  9060.  
  9061. <p>Now that you have your vision and areas for growth, it’s time to prioritize.</p>
  9062.  
  9063.  
  9064.  
  9065. <p>You don’t need to set detailed goals at this stage. The aim of this step is to decide what’s essential and what you need to let go of.</p>
  9066.  
  9067.  
  9068.  
  9069. <p>Your time is precious, so you need to invest it wisely. Prioritizing will help you do so.</p>
  9070.  
  9071.  
  9072.  
  9073. <p><strong>Identify your values</strong></p>
  9074.  
  9075.  
  9076.  
  9077. <p>Analyzing your past can help you identify your values. When you look back at past decisions, you can see what the motivating factors were behind them.&nbsp;</p>
  9078.  
  9079.  
  9080.  
  9081. <p>For example, if your career trajectory has been one in which your income has steadily grown over time, it shows that money is one of your core values.</p>
  9082.  
  9083.  
  9084.  
  9085. <p>But if you&#8217;ve chosen fewer responsibilities at work in exchange for less money, it means you probably value less stress and more free time.</p>
  9086.  
  9087.  
  9088.  
  9089. <p>Negative past experiences also teach us about our values. They show us the things we want to avoid experiencing again.</p>
  9090.  
  9091.  
  9092.  
  9093. <p>Bearing your values in mind will help you make decisions that are in line with your dreams.</p>

  9101. <p><strong>Establish SMART goals</strong></p>
  9102.  
  9103.  
  9104.  
  9105. <p>Once you’ve identified your vision and take stock of your priorities and values, the next step is to set effective goals.</p>
  9106.  
  9107.  
  9108.  
  9109. <p>Aim to set both medium and long-term goals that are realistic and achievable.</p>
  9110.  
  9111.  
  9112.  
  9113. <p>Identify different goals for the areas of your life you evaluated in your self-assessment. Make sure they align with your priorities and values.</p>
  9114.  
  9115.  
  9116.  
  9117. <p>Use the SMART method to set effective goals.</p>
  9118.  
  9119.  
  9120.  
  9121. <p>SMART stands for:</p>
  9122.  
  9123.  
  9124.  
  9125. <ul>
  9126. <li><strong>Specific</strong>: each goal should be specific. For example, rather than “lose weight,” your goal should be “lose 10 pounds.”</li>
  9127.  
  9128.  
  9129.  
  9130. <li><strong>Measurable</strong>: Establish how you will measure your goals.</li>
  9131.  
  9132.  
  9133.  
  9134. <li><strong>Attainable</strong>: make sure your goals are realistic and possible to achieve.</li>
  9135.  
  9136.  
  9137.  
  9138. <li><strong>Relevant</strong>: the goal should be relevant to your long-term vision and compatible with your priorities and values.</li>
  9139.  
  9140.  
  9141.  
  9142. <li><strong>Time-bound</strong>: Set an ambitious but achievable deadline for the completion of your goal.</li>
  9143. </ul>

  9150.  
  9151. <p><strong>Outline an action plan</strong></p>
  9152.  
  9153.  
  9154.  
  9155. <p>Your action plan should detail a step-by-step process that will help you work toward your intermediate goals.&nbsp;</p>
  9156.  
  9157.  
  9158.  
  9159. <p>Identify the daily actions that will add up over time and help you build momentum. Schedule them in your calendar and commit to taking action every day.</p>
  9160.  
  9161.  
  9162.  
  9163. <p>Place your action plan somewhere you will see it — for example, above your desk.</p>
  9164.  
  9165.  
  9166.  
  9167. <p>Don’t forget to celebrate every milestone and reward yourself for your achievements.</p>

  9169.  
  9170.  
  9171. <p><strong>Adjust as necessary</strong></p>
  9172.  
  9173.  
  9174.  
  9175. <p>Remember, your life plan is a tool that guides you toward your goals. However, we all experience setbacks at some point, and that’s okay.&nbsp;</p>
  9176.  
  9177.  
  9178.  
  9179. <p>If you miss a goal or take longer than planned to reach it, don’t give up.</p>
  9180.  
  9181.  
  9182.  
  9183. <p>Revise your life plan and make adjustments as needed.</p>

  9224. <p>We invite you to click through our website resource media and provide access to others, as well as, share where necessary and available to you.<br /><br />This forum series is being brought to you by PACE TULSA during the month of January 2024 to honor the life of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And to celebrate his heritage and legacy.<br /><br />The following passages, articles and resources are the result of hard work, research, and data from PACE TULSA participants.</p>

  9229.  
  9230.  
  9231.  
  9232. <p>Advocacy is also about helping people find their voice. There are three types of advocacy &#8211; self-advocacy, individual advocacy and systems advocacy. The CED is involved in all areas of advocacy for people with disabilities and their families.</p>

  9237.  
  9238.  
  9239.  
  9240. <p>Planning for continuity means articulating long-term goals, keeping functional coalitions together and adjusting advocacy methods as situations change.  Over the long term, you will need to evaluate the situations that result from advocacy activities. </p>

  9435. <p>In 2021, 26,325 passenger vehicle occupants were killed. About 50% of those killed were not buckled (based on known seat belt use.) With a mortality rate of 47% for those who choose not to, wearing a seatbelt is absolutely critical to driver and passenger safety.  However, on Jan. 11, officers responded to a rollover crash near E 171st St and Memorial Dr.</p>
  9436.  
  9437.  
  9438.  
  9439. <p>Officers found Shelby Binney, 16, thrown from the car. BPD said it happened around 9:20 p.m.  She was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to BPD.</p>
  9440.  
  9441.  
  9442.  
  9443. <p>The National Traffic Highway Safety Administration said, &#8220;2021 data shows that seat belt use is at 90.4%, and unrestrained occupant deaths currently account for <strong>50%</strong> of deaths.&#8221; Only roughly 10% of all motor vehicle transports have unrestrained operators or passengers.</p>
  9444.  
  9445.  
  9446.  
  9447. <p>Elliott Binney identified as her father, is in custody for this crash.  BPD said he is expected to be charged with first-degree manslaughter, leaving the scene of a collision resulting in death and passing in a no-passing zone.</p>
  9448.  
  9449.  
  9450.  
  9451. <p>Two elementary school children and an adult were taken to the hospital. BPD said they are family members of Binney. </p>
  9452.  
  9453.  
  9454.  
  9455. <p>With the exception of New Hampshire, all states and the District of Columbia require adult front-seat occupants to use seat belts. Adult rear-seat passengers also are covered by the laws in 33 states and the District of Columbia. Children are covered by separate laws.</p>

  9482. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  9483. <p>Monday&#8217;s Martin Luther King Jr. parade in Tulsa will now be postponed due to the extreme low temperatures that are in the forecast. Additionally, the Walk of Peace that was scheduled for Sunday will be canceled altogether.<br /><br />The MLK Jr. Commemoration Society confirmed the news on Thursday after the Society President, Pastor Pleas Thompson, made that announcement during the Tulsa City Council meeting Wednesday night.<br /><br />“We are advised by local authorities that the weather conditions are expected to be hazardous, particularly the low temperatures,” said Thompson. “As a result, we will reschedule the parade at a later date so we can honor Dr. King’s legacy and the hard work of our sponsors and parade participants.”</p>

  9487. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Continuity through enhanced perception</h2>
  9488.  
  9489.  
  9490.  
  9491. <p>Continuity through enhanced perception refers to the ability of vehicles equipped with ADAS technology to maintain a constant awareness of their surroundings. This is achieved through the use of advanced sensors and algorithms that allow the vehicle to perceive and interpret its environment in real-time. </p>

  9500.  
  9501. <p>By continuously monitoring the environment around the vehicle, ADAS systems are able to provide drivers with critical information and alerts to help them avoid potential accidents. For example, if the vehicle detects that it is drifting out of its lane, it can alert the driver with a warning or even take corrective action to keep the vehicle in its lane. This continuity of perception is crucial for the safe operation of vehicles, especially as they become more automated. </p>

  9509.  
  9510.  
  9511. <p>As more advanced ADAS applications are developed, vehicles will be able to perceive and interpret their environment with greater accuracy and reliability, paving the way for fully autonomous driving in the future. Enhanced perception is also important for improving the efficiency of transportation systems. By providing real-time information about traffic patterns and road conditions, ADAS systems can help drivers avoid congestion and reduce travel time. </p>

  9611. <p><strong>Did you know that almost all vehicle accidents are caused by human error? </strong></p>
  9612.  
  9613.  
  9614.  
  9615. <p>This is why Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have become increasingly important in recent years. ADAS technology is designed to help prevent accidents and reduce the severity of those that cannot be avoided, ultimately saving lives and reducing injuries on the road.</p>
  9616.  
  9617.  
  9618.  
  9619. <p>It&#8217;s true, essential safety-critical ADAS applications include pedestrian detection/avoidance, lane departure warning/correction, traffic sign recognition, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot detection. These systems are crucial in preventing accidents on the road and are a key component of ADAS technology. They use advanced algorithms and sensor fusion subsystems to provide real-time multimedia and vision coprocessing. Further advancements in ADAS applications are the initial steps towards achieving fully autonomous vehicles in the future.</p>
  9620.  
  9621.  
  9622.  
  9623. <p><strong>How Does ADAS Work?</strong></p>
  9624.  
  9625.  
  9626.  
  9627. <p>ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, uses a combination of hardware and software to assist drivers in operating their vehicles safely. These systems use sensors such as cameras, radars, and lidars to detect the environment around the vehicle.</p>
  9628.  
  9629.  
  9630.  
  9631. <p>The data collected by these sensors is then processed by the vehicle&#8217;s electronic control unit (ECU) which makes decisions based on the environment and driver input. </p>
  9632.  
  9633.  
  9634.  
  9635. <p>ADAS systems provide features such as lane departure warning/correction, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot detection to assist drivers in avoiding accidents.</p>
  9636.  
  9637.  
  9638.  
  9639. <p>In the future, ADAS technology will play a crucial role in achieving fully autonomous vehicles by providing a foundation for the development of more advanced systems.</p>
  9640.  
  9641.  
  9642.  
  9643. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What are some ADAS applications?</h2>
  9644.  
  9645.  
  9646.  
  9647. <p>Passive safety measures have been the norm in the automotive industry for a long time, with features like shatter-resistant glass, seatbelts, and airbags designed to minimize injury in case of an accident. However, with the advent of ADAS systems, the focus has shifted towards actively preventing accidents and reducing injury to passengers. This is made possible with the help of embedded vision technology, which uses sensor fusion to identify and process objects in real-time. </p>
  9648.  
  9649.  
  9650.  
  9651. <p>By combining data from various sensors like image recognition software, ultrasound sensors, lidar, and radar, this technology can analyze streaming video and react much faster than a human driver ever could.</p>
  9652.  
  9653.  
  9654.  
  9655. <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">These are some of the most common ADAS applications:</span></strong></p>
  9656.  
  9657.  
  9658.  
  9659. <p><strong>Adaptive Cruise Control</strong></p>
  9660.  
  9661.  
  9662.  
  9663. <p>Adaptive cruise control is particularly helpful on the highway, where drivers can find it difficult to monitor their speed and other cars over a long period of time. Advanced cruise control can automatically accelerate, slow down, and at times stop the vehicle, depending on the action’s other objects in the immediate area.</p>
  9664.  
  9665.  
  9666.  
  9667. <p><strong>Glare-Free High Beam and Pixel Light</strong></p>
  9668.  
  9669.  
  9670.  
  9671. <p>Glare-free high beam and pixel light uses sensors to adjust to darkness and the vehicle’s surroundings without disturbing oncoming traffic. This new headlight application detects the lights of other vehicles and redirects the vehicle’s lights away to prevent other road users from being temporarily blinded.</p>
  9672.  
  9673.  
  9674.  
  9675. <p><strong>Adaptive Light Control</strong></p>
  9676.  
  9677.  
  9678.  
  9679. <p>Adaptive light control adapts the vehicle’s headlights to external lighting conditions. It changes the strength, direction, and rotation of the headlights depending on the vehicle’s environment and darkness.</p>
  9680.  
  9681.  
  9682.  
  9683. <p><strong>Automatic Parking</strong></p>
  9684.  
  9685.  
  9686.  
  9687. <p>Automatic parking helps inform drivers of&nbsp;unseen areas so they know when to turn the steering wheel and stop. Vehicles equipped with rearview cameras have a better view of their surroundings than traditional side mirrors. Some systems can even complete parking automatically without the driver’s help by combining the input of multiple sensors.</p>
  9688.  
  9689.  
  9690.  
  9691. <p><strong>Autonomous Valet Parking</strong></p>
  9692.  
  9693.  
  9694.  
  9695. <p>Autonomous valet parking is a new technology that works via vehicle sensor meshing, 5G network communication, and cloud services that manage autonomous vehicles in parking areas. Sensors provide the vehicle with information about where it is, where it needs to go, and how to get there safely. All this information is methodically evaluated and used to perform drive acceleration, braking, and steering until the vehicle is safely parked.</p>
  9696.  
  9697.  
  9698.  
  9699. <p><strong>Navigation System</strong></p>
  9700.  
  9701.  
  9702.  
  9703. <p>Car navigation systems provide on-screen instructions and voice prompts to help drivers follow a route while concentrating on the road. Some navigation systems can display exact traffic data, and if necessary, plan a new route to avoid traffic jams. Advanced systems may even offer heads-up displays to reduce driver distraction.</p>
  9704.  
  9705.  
  9706.  
  9707. <p><strong>Night Vision</strong></p>
  9708.  
  9709.  
  9710.  
  9711. <p>Night vision systems enable drivers to see things that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to see at night. There are two categories of night vision implementations: Active night vision systems project infrared light, and passive systems rely on the thermal energy that comes from cars, animals, and other objects.</p>
  9712.  
  9713.  
  9714.  
  9715. <p><strong>Unseen Area&nbsp;Monitoring</strong></p>
  9716.  
  9717.  
  9718.  
  9719. <p>Unseen area&nbsp;detection systems use sensors to provide drivers with important information that is otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain. Some systems sound an alarm when they detect an object in the driver’s unseen area, such as when the driver tries to move into an occupied lane.</p>
  9720.  
  9721.  
  9722.  
  9723. <p><strong>Automatic Emergency Braking</strong></p>
  9724.  
  9725.  
  9726.  
  9727. <p>Automatic emergency braking uses sensors to detect whether the driver is in the process of hitting another vehicle or other objects on the road. This application can measure the distance of nearby traffic and alert the driver to any danger. Some emergency braking systems can take preventive safety measures such as tightening seat belts, reducing speed, and engaging adaptive steering to avoid a collision.</p>
  9728.  
  9729.  
  9730.  
  9731. <p><strong>Crosswind Stabilization</strong></p>
  9732.  
  9733.  
  9734.  
  9735. <p>This relatively new ADAS feature supports the vehicle in counteracting strong crosswinds. The sensors in this system can detect strong pressure acting on the vehicle while driving and apply brakes to the wheels affected by crosswind disturbance.</p>
  9736.  
  9737.  
  9738.  
  9739. <p><strong>Driver Drowsiness Detection</strong></p>
  9740.  
  9741.  
  9742.  
  9743. <p>Driver drowsiness detection warns drivers of sleepiness or other road distractions. There are several ways to determine whether a driver’s attention is decreasing. In one case, sensors can analyze the movement of the driver’s head and heart rate to determine whether they indicate drowsiness. Other systems issue driver alerts similar to the warning signals for lane detection.</p>
  9744.  
  9745.  
  9746.  
  9747. <p><strong>Driver Monitoring System</strong></p>
  9748.  
  9749.  
  9750.  
  9751. <p>The driver monitoring system is another way of measuring the driver’s attention. The camera sensors can analyze whether the driver’s eyes are on the road or drifting. Driver monitoring systems can alert drivers with noises, vibrations in the steering wheel, or flashing lights. In some cases, the car will take the extreme measure of stopping the vehicle completely.</p>
  9752.  
  9753.  
  9754.  
  9755. <p><strong>5G and V2X</strong></p>
  9756.  
  9757.  
  9758.  
  9759. <p>This hot new 5G ADAS feature provides communication between the vehicle and other vehicles or pedestrians with increased reliability and lower latency, generally referred to as V2X. Today, millions of vehicles connect to cellular networks for real-time navigation. This application will enhance existing methods and the cellular network to improve situational awareness, control or suggest speed adjustments to account for traffic congestion, and provide real-time updates to GPS maps. V2X is essential to support over-the-air software updates for the now-extensive range of software-driven systems in cars, from map updates to bug fixes to security updates and more. </p>
  9760.  
  9761.  
  9762.  
  9763. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Future</h2>
  9764.  
  9765.  
  9766.  
  9767. <p>As the amount of automotive electronic hardware and software continues to increase, significant changes in the automobile design process will be required to address the convergence of conflicting goals such as increased reliability, reduced costs, and shorter development cycles. The trend is shifting towards a more integrated ADAS domain controller with centralized ECUs, which indicates that we are currently at Level 2 (Partial Driving Automation) as designated by SAE International. </p>
  9768.  
  9769.  
  9770.  
  9771. <p>While the vehicle is capable of controlling both steering and acceleration/deceleration, a human still needs to sit in the driver&#8217;s seat and can take control of the car at any time. In the future, ADAS technology will continue to advance and play a crucial role in achieving fully autonomous vehicles.</p>
  9772.  
  9773.  
  9774.  
  9775. <p>The shift towards fully autonomous vehicles, capable of sensing their environment and operating without human involvement, requires an increase in the electronic architecture of these vehicles. This increase in architecture leads to a corresponding increase in the volume of data that must be handled by the new integrated domain controllers. These controllers require higher computing performance, lower power consumption, and smaller packaging to handle this data, which in turn requires the latest semiconductor features, semiconductor process technologies, and interconnecting technologies to support ADAS capabilities.</p>
  9776.  
  9777.  
  9778.  
  9779. <p>As the reduction of electronic modules leads to centralized computing architectures, critical automotive building blocks such as processors with vision processing capabilities, neural networks, and sensor fusion become more important. Achieving this while also addressing the need for quality, safety, and security is crucial. Every aspect of the car is designed to be more connected, requiring subsystem and SoC designers to expand the scope of safety measures beyond the traditional steps taken to ensure physical safety.</p>
  9780.

  9809. <p><a href="https://www.swarco.com/stories/c-its-overview">The Smart Pedestrian Crosswalk (SPC)</a> seems like a promising solution to improve traffic safety on unregulated pedestrian crosswalks. It&#8217;s great to hear that the device is designed to comply with all the necessary requirements for roadside C-ITS applications. This could potentially be a significant step towards creating a safer and more efficient transportation system for everyone.</p>
  9810.  
  9811.  
  9812.  
  9813. <p>It&#8217;s interesting to note that applications like route planning, navigation, and remote tele-driving require wide area communication. This makes sense since these applications operate at a strategic and planning level and require a broad range of data to function effectively. Having access to reliable and efficient communication networks can help ensure that these applications are working optimally, which could ultimately lead to safer and more efficient transportation systems.</p>
  9814.  
  9815.  
  9816.  
  9817. <p>The Architecture Reference for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT) provides a common framework for planning, defining, and integrating intelligent transportation systems. It is a mature product that reflects the contributions of a broad cross-section of the ITS community (transportation practitioners, systems engineers, system developers, technology specialists, consultants, etc.).</p>
  9818.  
  9819.  
  9820.  
  9821. <p>ARC-IT is a reference architecture: it provides common basis for planners and engineers with differing concerns to conceive, design and implement systems using a common language as a basis for delivering ITS, but does not mandate any particular implementation. ARC-IT includes artifacts that answer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arc-it.net/html/security/concerns.html">concerns</a>&nbsp;relevant to a large variety of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arc-it.net/html/methodology/stakeholders.html">stakeholders</a>, and provides&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arc-it.net/html/resources/tools.html">tools</a>&nbsp;intended for transportation planners, regional architects and systems engineers to conceive of and develop regional architectures, and scope and develop projects.</p>
  9822.  
  9823.  
  9824.  
  9825. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s New in ARC-IT Version 9.2</h2>
  9826.  
  9827.  
  9828.  
  9829. <p>ARC-IT Version 9.2 is a significant update of the US National ITS Architecture Reference focusing on improvements that support Multimodal Accessible Travel (MAT), the Management of Electronic Traffic Regulations (METR) and other new concepts and refinements. The most significant enhancements for version 9.2 are:</p>
  9830.  
  9831.  
  9832.  
  9833. <ul>
  9834. <li>Multimodal Accessible Travel: Concepts supporting complete trip, integrated payment, safety for vulnerable road users, and pathway/indoor navigation use cases. Most obviously impacted service packages:
  9835. <ul>
  9836. <li>SU15: Vulnerable Road User Device Transition Support</li>
  9837.  
  9838.  
  9839.  
  9840. <li>TI03: En-Route Guidance</li>
  9841.  
  9842.  
  9843.  
  9844. <li>TI04: Trip Planning and Payment</li>
  9845.  
  9846.  
  9847.  
  9848. <li>TI05: Integrated Multi-Modal Electronic Payment (previously PT18)</li>
  9849.  
  9850.  
  9851.  
  9852. <li>TI06: Shared Use Mobility and Dynamic Ridesharing</li>
  9853.  
  9854.  
  9855.  
  9856. <li>TI08: Personal Wayfinding</li>
  9857.  
  9858.  
  9859.  
  9860. <li>VS12: Vulnerable Road User Safety</li>
  9861.  
  9862.  
  9863.  
  9864. <li>VS18: Vulnerable Road User Clustering</li>
  9865. </ul>
  9866. </li>
  9867.  
  9868.  
  9869.  
  9870. <li>Major enhancements to VS17 Traffic Code Dissemination based on developments in the Management of Electronic Traffic Regulations (METR) standards being developed in ISO/TC 204. This includes details of how METR systems are expected to operate by collecting, managing and disseminating road regulations.</li>
  9871.  
  9872.  
  9873.  
  9874. <li>Other new or significantly enhanced Service Packages:
  9875. <ul>
  9876. <li>MC12: One-Way Convoy Driving &#8212; all new, inspired by operations in Norway but implemented similarly in some snow-heavy US states</li>
  9877.  
  9878.  
  9879.  
  9880. <li>ST05: Electric Charging Stations Management &#8212; modified to better accommodate information sharing and management entities</li>
  9881. </ul>
  9882. </li>
  9883.  
  9884.  
  9885.  
  9886. <li>Updates to all views to reflect changes in technology and standards development</li>
  9887.  
  9888.  
  9889.  
  9890. <li>Many new physical objects supporting MAT, METR and other new and refined concepts, such as the Micro-Mobility Vehicle OBE, Electric Charging Management Center and Shared Use Transportation Center</li>
  9891.  
  9892.  
  9893.  
  9894. <li>An upgrade to the physical database model to better support notions of hierarchy. This hierarchy&#8217;s primary purpose is to enable inheritance, which should help RAD-IT and SET-IT users develop more succinct architecture descriptions while also enabling flexibility for architects at all levels. In practice, ARC-IT users will see the &#8216;Light Vehicle OBE&#8217; in many places where a Vehicle OBE was previously noted, and also note that functional objects originating at one higher level object (e.g., Vehicle) appear in lower-level objects (e.g., Light Vehicle OBE).</li>
  9895. </ul>
  9896.  
  9897.  
  9898.  
  9899. <p>If the term &#8220;ARC-IT&#8221; is new to you or it has been a few years since you&#8217;ve visited the National ITS Architecture, you may find the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arc-it.net/documents/keyconcepts/keyconcepts.pdf">Key Concepts</a>&nbsp;document helpful</p>

It would have protected environmental and Indigenous rights for the first time in Chile’s history.&nbsp;</a></p>

Murry was hospitalized for five days with a collapsed lung, lacerated liver and fractured ribs from the gunshot wound in his chest.</a></p>

Durbin also said he was merely using a tactic previously used by the last two Republican chairs of the committee— Iowa Senator&nbsp;Chuck Grassley&nbsp;and South Carolina&#8217;s&nbsp;Lindsey Graham—who he said violated committee rules by advancing nominees and rules while the GOP controlled the Senate without giving&nbsp;Democrats&nbsp;a chance to voice their views.</a></p>

Mark Richt had been fired after 15 seasons of winning everything except a national championship. The Bulldogs were in search of the coach who’d win everything.  As Alabama’s defensive coordinator under Nick Saban, Smart had been part of three national titles. Even after taking the Georgia job, he’d stick around and help the Crimson Tide win another. On the morning after Bama beat Clemson in Glendale, Arizona, the UGA alum set up shop in Athens. The quest to unseat his former employer had begun.</a></p>

But much-awaited rules released Friday appear to leave some room for U.S. companies to work with Chinese partners.  The new requirements will likely reduce the number of electric-vehicle models that consumers can buy and qualify for a $7,500 tax credit. How many vehicles are eligible will hinge on automakers’ ability to build cars that comply with the rules.&nbsp;</a></p>

About 300 surviving animals in the contiguous U.S. live in fragmented, isolated groups at high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains.  The decision Wednesday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service follows more than&nbsp;two decades of disputes&nbsp;over the risks of climate change, and threats to&nbsp;the long-term survival&nbsp;of the elusive species. Officials wrote in the proposal that protections under the Endangered Species Act were needed “due primarily to the ongoing and increasing impacts of climate change and associated habitat degradation and fragmentation.”</a></p>

So much so that he decided to buy 15 acres of woodland adjacent to Mount Kenya National Park &amp; Reserve, in the small market town of Naro Moru, a base for hikers ascending Mount Kenya.&nbsp;More than 30 years later, in the valley beneath the majestic snow-capped volcano, Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still flourishing with indigenous trees and plants. In contrast, much of the national park has been heavily logged.</a></p>

  10469. <p>Raising your kid for over 16 or 17 years without major tragedy and then having to live in fear because of the dangers of travel.&nbsp;Can you honestly say that you&#8217;re ready to give your child your car keys? As a parent have you equipped them with the tools necessary and the training so that they can drive responsibly?</p>

  10482.  
  10483.  
  10484.  
  10485. <p>Escape that&#8217;s the first thing that comes to your teens mind when they think about a driver&#8217;s license.&nbsp; Teen&#8217;s don&#8217;t have the same level of responsibility as adults when it comes to traffic knowledge and driving.&nbsp; Teen drivers have a higher rate of fatal crashes, mainly because of their immaturity, lack of skills, and lack of experience. They speed, they make mistakes, and they get distracted easily – especially if their friends are in the car. To help your teen stay safe behind the wheel, all 50 States and the District of Columbia have a three-stage graduated driver licensing (GDL) system that limits high-risk driving situations for new drivers. This approach can reduce your teen&#8217;s crash risk by as much as 50 percent. As your local DMV for information.</p>
  10486.  
  10487.  
  10488.  
  10489. <p><strong>What Can You Do to help your teen driver?</strong><br /><br />-Learn about your State’s graduated driving laws GDL. Restrict teen&#8217;s night driving and passengers, prohibit driving while using the phone or other electronic devices, and require seat belt use at all times. Don&#8217;t let your team carries too much cash while driving.&nbsp; don&#8217;t allow your teens vehicle to have a loud stereo system installed.&nbsp; make sure your teens vehicle has safety equipment in it at all times (first aid, tire guage, flashlights, fuses and a spare tire.)</p>

  10493. <p>-Talk to your teen about the dangers of drug and alcohol use. Remind them that it is illegal to drink under the age of 21, and it is illegal—and deadly—to drink and drive. If a teen is under 21, his or her blood alcohol concentration (BAC) should always be at .00.</p>
  10494.  
  10495.  
  10496.  
  10497. <p>&#8211; Be a good role model. Remember that your child looks to you as a driver, so practice safe driving yourself. Set aside time to take your teen on practice driving sessions.&nbsp; This time could be spent having serious talks about responsibility.</p>

  10512.  
  10513. <p>You see your teen engaged in a distraction behavior make sure there are consequences. Consider suspending your teen’s driving privileges, further limiting the hours during which they can drive, or limiting the places&nbsp;where they can drive. Parents could also consider limiting a teen’s access to their cell phone. Limiting the amount of money they have for an event or for luxury items. Making sure they go back to their driver&#8217;s manual and review. And make sure you listen to what their understanding is about the distracted behavior. Make corrections if necessary. Reward where appropriate.</p>

  10612. <p><br />Two Denver-area paramedics have been convicted in the 2019 killing of Elijah McClain, who they injected with an overdose of the sedative ketamine after police put him in a neck hold. (Dec. 22)<br /><br />BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Two Denver-area paramedics were convicted Friday for giving a fatal overdose of the sedative ketamine to Elijah McClain in 2019 — a jury verdict that experts said could have a chilling effect on first responders around the country.<br /><br />The case involving the 23-year-old Black man’s death was the first among several recent criminal prosecutions against medical first responders to reach trial, potentially setting the bar for prosecutors for future cases.<br /><br />It also was the last of three trials against police and paramedics charged in the death of McClain, whom officers stopped following a suspicious person complaint. He was injected with the sedative after being forcibly restrained. The case received little attention until protests over the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.</p>

They could say, ‘I’m not going to do anything’ or ‘I’m going to do less. I don’t want to be found guilty.’”</p>

These strategies also create competition for content purchasers’ asset allocation decisions. Those initial observations of how neighborhood communities came to buyer&#8217;s decisions resonated with our neighbors in the Tulsa, Oklahoma community.  It is possible to overcome &#8220;the process of visibility&#8221; problems some pedestrian awareness crosswalk education organizations face.</p>

  10706. <p>Experiments are used to try to discover if there are causal relationships between variables. If, for example, the variable we are interested in is the time taken for pedestrians to react to an on-coming vehicle, we could manipulate the driver-vehicle noise levels driving by in their cars to see whether this has any impact. In this case, the noise level of the driver-vehicle will be the independent variable and the driver’s response time (a behavior which we hypothesize is dependent on driver-vehicle noise levels) will be the dependent variable. This sort of experiment may take place in a driving simulator, in a laboratory, or on private roads.&nbsp;In an experiment, there are often two groups of participants: a control group that is not subjected to the manipulation of the independent variable and an experimental group that is subjected to manipulation.&nbsp;</p>

  10713. <p>In the example here, the control group may not be subjected to any driver-vehicle noise. Findings from experiments are analyzed statistically. Researchers using experimental methods have a number of techniques at their disposal to ensure that they do not simply find what they expect or what they want to find. These include random allocation to groups where the researcher does not choose whether a participant goes into the experimental or control group, and blind scoring, where those who score a participant’s behavior do not know the participant group.</p>

Since they are face-to-face, samples used are usually smaller than questionnaires. Interviews can be tightly structured (as for questionnaires) or more open-ended. They can, therefore, be analyzed either quantitatively (i.e. the information is in a form that can be counted or expressed numerically and which is amenable to statistical manipulation) or qualitatively (i.e. the information is expressed in terms of descriptive qualities, attributes, characteristics, and so on), where researchers transcribe tape-recordings of the interviews, read them repeatedly and analyze their themes.</p>

  10761. <p>Standardized tests are different from ordinary questionnaires in the way they are constructed and pre-tested. They are tried out on large numbers of people before being used as research or diagnostic tools. This gives a picture of how the test scores are distributed across the population for which the test is designed. It is, therefore, possible to compare a particular individual’s test scores with the average from the population and to make statistical comparisons between different groups. Well-known psychological tests include intelligence tests and personality tests. These are highly structured forms of self-report where participants have to solve problems or choose from fixed alternatives on a questionnaire. Researchers then work out a score for each participant that gives information about their intelligence or personality.&nbsp;</p>

  10783.  
  10784.  
  10785. <p>In participant observation, the researcher is part of what is being observed and writes up notes whenever possible. Sometimes these notes include an insider viewpoint account of how the researcher is feeling. A well-known example is that of Rosenhan and seven collaborators in the 1970s who, although not ill, feigned mental illness and managed to get themselves admitted to a psychiatric hospital (Rosenhan, 1973). Once in the hospital they behaved ‘normally’, i.e. as they would in the outside world. They kept notes of all they observed (outsider viewpoint) and what they experienced (insider viewpoint), including the experience of having their ‘normal’ behavior and talk interpreted as evidence of their mental illness. (They had a lot of trouble getting discharged from the hospital.) The data from observations such as these are analyzed qualitatively, paying attention to meanings and to the place of the researcher in the observation.&nbsp;</p>

  10797. <p>In more structured observations, researchers may have clear categories of behavior on which they know they want to focus. They may choose a specific individual such as a target child in a school, perhaps counting the number of times that child makes a friendly approach to another child and noting down what is said. They may also observe through a one-way mirror so that they are not visible to the people being observed and, hence, do not interfere with whatever is being observed. These kinds of observations can be analyzed either quantitatively and statistically, or qualitatively.</p>

These kinds of data are used to provide evidence of meanings, and the processes that construct and communicate meanings. There are various ways in which researchers analyze conversations, data from interviews and written texts.</p>

  10830.  
  10831.  
  10832.  
  10833. <p>Another popular method is discourse analysis. This is a qualitative method that provides detailed analyses of exactly what language is used and how it is used. For example, discourse analysts would try to identify the rhetorical devices by which we all as speakers seek to persuade each other of our arguments, and the functions served by various discourses. Discourse analysts do not aim to find an absolute truth about how people use language. They are more interested in the processes whereby people construct meanings socially and individually. Most discourse analysts are interested in subjectivity – people’s own sense-making – and often include an analysis of the researcher’s own subjective understandings as part of the analysis of data, thus using a mixture of insider and outsider viewpoints. Discourse analysis is an example of a hermeneutic approach. Hermeneutic approaches focus on meaning-making; that is, the work of interpretation. People are treated as meaning-producers, with the task of the investigator being to interpret meanings. Hermeneutic approaches, therefore, tend to use qualitative methods (rather than measuring variables, taking group averages and drawing conclusions with the help of statistics as in experimental and other quantitative methods). The data they produce tend to relate to particular individuals in specific contexts, rather than generalizing to a population as a whole.</p>

  10842.  
  10843.  
  10844.  
  10845. <p>The different methods described above alert us to the fact that social scientific research is not just one enterprise, but a series of interlocking enterprises in which researchers have different views about the best ways to try to understand or explain people and their behavior and experience. These are arguments about epistemology; that is, what questions to ask, what sort of evidence to look for, what sort of criteria to use to evaluate explanations, and what sort of methods to use.</p>
  10846.  
  10847.  
  10848.  
  10849. <p>All knowledge and all efforts to gain knowledge operate in a context, a set of connected and compatible assumptions about what exists and the way to gain knowledge of it. And we have already seen that research is done within a paradigm, which is a philosophical framework made up of assumptions about the subject matter and the ways in which it should be studied, including the methods and the kinds of data that are considered to be legitimate. </p>
  10850.  
  10851.  
  10852.  
  10853. <p>This leads to debates between social scientists operating in different paradigms, as Peter Barnes explains, &#8220;By now you will have gathered that there is no one methodological approach to the study of topics in social science – each approach has its advocates and each has attracted its critics. At any one time some approaches are in the ascendant while others are in the doldrums. Different views exist on what subjects are worthy of investigation – and even on whether it is possible to investigate them – and these, too, have fashions.&#8221; (Barnes, 1985:28)</p>

  10865. <p>All efforts to acquire knowledge take place within a specific context that is comprised of interconnected and compatible assumptions about the nature of the subject matter and the techniques used to study it. Research is inherently done within a paradigm, which is essentially a philosophical framework that delineates the assumptions about the subject of study, the methodology, and the types of data that are considered acceptable. This often leads to debates between social scientists who operate within different paradigms and may hold diverging views about the worthiness of certain subjects of investigation and the possibility of conducting research on them. As Peter Barnes explains, various methodological approaches exist in social science, and each has its advocates and critics. Moreover, different paradigms gain or lose popularity over time, and opinions about the feasibility and importance of various research topics are also subject to trends and shifts in thinking.

Exposure to various work environments and cultures can also influence the development of multiple perspectives on change management.</li>

By sticking to what they know best, they can create a clear vision, set achievable goals, and motivate their team to achieve them. However, there are also reasons against relying solely on a dominant leadership style. Change is constantly evolving and requires leaders to adapt their approach to meet the needs of the situation. By being too rigid in their style, leaders may miss opportunities for growth and fail to address emerging challenges. Therefore, it is important for change leaders to remain open to new ideas and be willing to adjust their approach when necessary.</li>

This is because they have a range of tools at their disposal to approach different situations. By being adaptable, they can tailor their approach to meet the specific needs of their team and organization. However, there are also reasons against this approach. If leaders are constantly switching between images without a clear direction or purpose, they may confuse their team and create a lack of trust. Therefore, it is important for change leaders to be intentional in their use of different images and to communicate their reasoning clearly to their team.</li>

This may be due to a variety of reasons, such as personal preferences, past experiences, or lack of exposure to different styles. However, it is important for managers to recognize the limitations of their preferred style and be willing to adapt their approach to meet the needs of their team and organization.

  10928. <li><strong>What does having one dominant image of change management mean? </strong>According to Palmer, Dunford, and Buchanan (2016), identified the six images of a change manager as a director, interpreter, navigator, coach, caretaker and nurturer. A change leader must exhibit all six of these roles, which are not separate categories. Instead, they form two continua, from controlling to shaping management roles and implementing outcomes that vary from planned to unintended. The boundaries of these six images are blurred, and their elements may overlap in practice (Palmer, Dunford, &amp; Buchanan, 2016). Although one or more of the six images may be more pronounced than the others, a transformational change leader is able to balance the mix.</li>

  11458.

  11461. <p><br />To help keep people safe during the busy leadup to the winter holiday season, PACE TULSA AGS FOUNDATION will be teaming up with the O Oklahoma Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the national If You Feel Different, You Drive Different. drug-impaired-driving awareness campaign. </p>
  11462.  
  11463.  
  11464.  
  11465. <p><strong>Know the Facts</strong></p>
  11466.  
  11467.  
  11468.  
  11469. <ul>
  11470. <li>In every U.S. state and territory, it is illegal to drive under the influence of drugs — no exceptions. </li>
  11471. </ul>
  11472.  
  11473.  
  11474.  
  11475. <ul>
  11476. <li>If you think driving while high from marijuana won’t affect you, you are wrong: It has been shown that marijuana can slow reaction times, impair cognitive performance, and make it more difficult for drivers to keep a steady position in their lane.</li>
  11477. </ul>
  11478.  
  11479.  
  11480.  
  11481. <ul>
  11482. <li>If you’re planning to use marijuana or any impairing drug, do not drive. Designate a sober driver who won’t be using any drugs or call a ridesharing service or taxi. Someone who’s high shouldn’t be making decisions about driving.</li>
  11483. </ul>
  11484.  
  11485.  
  11486.  
  11487. <p><strong>Only Drive Sober</strong></p>
  11488.  
  11489.  
  11490.  
  11491. <p>If you are planning to use drugs, plan ahead for a sober driver to safely drive you to your destination. Like drunk driving, it is essential that drug-impaired drivers refrain from driving a vehicle. It is never okay to drive while impaired by any substance —regardless of whether it was legally obtained.</p>
  11492.  
  11493.  
  11494.  
  11495. <ul>
  11496. <li>If available, use your community’s sober ride program.</li>
  11497.  
  11498.  
  11499.  
  11500. <li>If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact Local Law Enforcement</li>

  11843. <p>When it comes to facing difficulties, there are two concepts that often come up: resilience and toughness. Resilience refers to our ability to withstand or recover quickly from difficult situations, while toughness refers to our ability to endure difficult situations without giving up or breaking down.<br /><br />While both resilience and toughness are important qualities to have, they differ in their approach to facing difficulty. Resilience focuses on bouncing back from adversity, while toughness focuses on enduring adversity without giving up.<br /><br />Resilience is often associated with flexibility and adaptability. Those who are resilient are able to adjust their approach to a situation in order to overcome challenges. Resilience is also often associated with emotional intelligence, as those who are resilient are able to manage their emotions in difficult situations and focus on solutions rather than problems.<br /><br />Toughness, on the other hand, is often associated with perseverance and determination. Those who are tough are able to endure difficult situations without giving up, even when the odds are against them. Toughness is often associated with mental and physical strength, as those who are tough are able to push through physical and emotional pain in order to achieve their goals.<br /><br />Both resilience and toughness are valuable qualities to have, but they are not interchangeable. Resilience can help us bounce back from difficult situations, but it may not be enough to help us endure prolonged adversity. Toughness can help us endure difficult situations, but it may not help us adapt to changing circumstances.</p>
  11844.  
  11845.  
  11846.  
  11847. <p>Resiliency is crucial in the context of change as it allows individuals and organizations to adapt and thrive in the face of challenges. Change can be stressful and disruptive, but those who are resilient are better able to bounce back and continue moving forward.<br /><br />As a Change Management Leader, you can foster resiliency in your team by providing support and resources that help individuals build their coping skills. This can include coaching, training, and other resources that help team members develop a growth mindset and a positive attitude towards change.<br /><br />Individual change participants can also employ strategies to foster resiliency. This can include practicing self-care, seeking support from colleagues and friends, and focusing on the positive aspects of the change. By developing a sense of purpose and a positive outlook, individuals can better navigate the challenges of change and emerge stronger on the other side.<br /><br />Fostering resiliency is essential for successfully navigating change. By providing support and resources and developing a positive mindset, both Change Management Leaders and individual change participants can build their resiliency and thrive in the face of change.<br /></p>
  11848.  
  11849.  
  11850.  
  11851. <p>The key to facing difficulty is to have a balance of both resilience and toughness. By being flexible and adaptable, we can adjust our approach to difficult situations and find solutions that work for us. By being perseverant and determined, we can endure difficult situations and push through challenges to achieve our goals</p>

  11855. <p><strong>CASE STUDY ONE:  The Resilient Change Leader</strong></p>
  11856.  
  11857.  
  11858.  
  11859. <p>Imagine a scenario where a company is going through a major merger with another company. The change leader responsible for managing the integration of the two companies would need to be resilient in order to handle the challenges that come with such a significant change.<br /><br />The change leader would need to be able to adapt to the new circumstances and find solutions to the problems that arise during the merger. They would also need to be emotionally intelligent and able to manage their own emotions and the emotions of others in order to maintain a positive work environment.<br /><br />The change leader would need to be able to bounce back quickly from setbacks and adjust their approach as needed in order to keep the integration on track. They would need to be flexible and adaptable in order to navigate the complexities of the merger and ensure the success of the new company.<br /><br />Resilience would be a crucial quality for the change leader in this scenario, as they would need to be able to withstand the challenges of the merger and come out stronger on the other side.</p>
  11860.  
  11861.  
  11862.  
  11863. <p><strong>CASE STUDY TWO:  The Tough Change Leader</strong></p>
  11864.  
  11865.  
  11866.  
  11867. <p>Imagine a scenario where a company is facing a financial crisis and the change leader responsible for managing the turnaround would need to be tough in order to make difficult decisions that may be unpopular with employees and stakeholders.<br /><br />The change leader would need to be able to communicate the severity of the situation clearly and honestly, while also being empathetic to those who will be impacted by the necessary changes. They would need to be able to make tough decisions quickly and effectively, such as laying off employees or cutting costs, in order to save the company from bankruptcy.<br /><br />The change leader would need to be able to handle the pressure and stress that comes with leading a company through a crisis. They would need to have a strong sense of self-awareness and be able to manage their own emotions while remaining focused on the task at hand.<br /><br />Toughness would be a crucial quality for the change leader in this scenario, as they would need to be able to stand firm while making difficult decisions and navigate the challenges of leading a company through a financial crisis.</p>

  11871. <p><strong>A resilient and tough change explained</strong></p>
  11872.  
  11873.  
  11874.  
  11875. <p>In the context of a company facing a financial crisis, a resilient change could be the implementation of a new revenue generation strategy that focuses on diversifying the company&#8217;s offerings and expanding into new markets. This change would require creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to take risks in order to overcome the challenges of the crisis.<br /><br />On the other hand, a tough change could be the decision to lay off employees in order to cut costs and save the company from bankruptcy. This change would require the change leader to make difficult decisions that may be unpopular with employees and stakeholders, while also communicating the severity of the situation clearly and empathetically.

  11899. <p>The 2023 Winter Holiday Season National Enforcement Mobilization, which will run from December 13th, 2023, to January 1st, 2024, is an initiative aimed at preventing impaired driving and reducing the number of fatalities on the roads during the holiday season. This initiative is significant because the holiday season is known for being the deadliest season when it comes to drunk driving. Every year, lives are lost due to impaired drivers, and this initiative seeks to prevent these tragedies from occurring.</p>
  11900.  
  11901.  
  11902.  
  11903. <p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has developed a range of enforcement marketing tools that can be distributed to fit local needs and objectives. These materials will partner your office with other states, communities, and organizations on this impaired driving prevention initiative. The enforcement marketing tools include posters, social media graphics, and other materials that can be used to raise awareness of the dangers of drunk driving and encourage people to make responsible decisions during the holiday season.</p>
  11904.  
  11905.  
  11906.  
  11907. <p>One of the key elements of the 2023 Winter Holiday Season National Enforcement Mobilization is increased law enforcement presence on the roads. This will involve sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, and other strategies designed to identify and apprehend impaired drivers before they can cause harm. The increased law enforcement presence is intended to deter people from drinking and driving and to ensure that those who do choose to drink and drive are caught and held accountable for their actions.</p>
  11908.  
  11909.  
  11910.  
  11911. <p>In addition to increased law enforcement presence, the 2023 Winter Holiday Season National Enforcement Mobilization will also involve public education and awareness campaigns. These campaigns will emphasize the importance of responsible decision-making and encourage people to plan ahead for a safe ride home if they choose to drink. The campaigns will also highlight the risks and consequences of drunk driving, including the potential for serious injury or death, legal penalties, and the impact on one&#8217;s family and community.</p>
  11912.  
  11913.  
  11914.  
  11915. <p>Overall, the 2023 Winter Holiday Season National Enforcement Mobilization is an important initiative that seeks to prevent impaired driving and reduce the number of fatalities on the roads during the holiday season. With increased law enforcement presence and public education campaigns, this initiative has the potential to make a real difference in saving lives and ensuring that everyone can enjoy the holiday season safely and responsibly.</p>

This is known as negative reinforcement because it is the removal of an adverse stimulus which is 'rewarding' to the animal or person. Negative reinforcement strengthens behavior because it stops or removes an unpleasant experience.]]></description>

  12191.  
  12192. <p>Negative reinforcement is the encouragement of certain behaviors by removing or avoiding a negative outcome or stimuli. People typically use this technique to help children learn good patterns of behavior, but it can also play a role in training animals and pets.</p>

  12196. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How Negative Reinforcement Works in Psychology?</strong></h2>
  12197.  
  12198.  
  12199.  
  12200. <p>Skinner argued that people’s behavior is mostly determined by external influences, not just by their nature.  He saw the direct relationship between behavior and consequences that occur after people do something. Reinforcement is one of those factors that exert behavioral transformation when used adequately.</p>
  12201.

  12204. <p><strong>Examples of Negative Reinforcement</strong></p>
  12205.  
  12206.  
  12207.  
  12208. <ul>
  12209. <li>Giving a pass to the car behind to avoid its honking.</li>
  12210.  
  12211.  
  12212.  
  12213. <li>Getting up from bed to avoid the noisy alarm.</li>
  12214.  
  12215.  
  12216.  
  12217. <li>Taking an antacid before having a spicy meal.</li>
  12218.  
  12219.  
  12220.  
  12221. <li>Applying sunscreen before heading to the beach to avoid getting sunburned.</li>
  12222.  
  12223.  
  12224.  
  12225. <li>Leaving early from the house early to avoid traffic jams.</li>

  12230. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What is negative reinforcement in a relationship?</strong></h2>
  12231.  
  12232.  
  12233.  
  12234. <p>Couples often use negative reinforcement without even being aware of it. It is the situation when something negative is removed, and the relationship becomes stronger.<br /><br />For example, if a couple is having an argument, and one of the partners refuses to talk to the other partner, it creates an odd situation where none of them feels happy.<br /><br />The decision to discuss the issue and have proper communication is an example of negative reinforcement.</p>
  12235.  
  12236.  
  12237.  
  12238. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How do teachers use negative reinforcement?</strong></h2>
  12239.  
  12240.  
  12241.  
  12242. <p>Teachers use negative reinforcement to signal students that they believe in students’ sound reasoning and ability to adhere to rules and obligations.<br /><br />For instance, when a teacher removes a task or extra homework because of a student’s improved behavior and his class involvement, that student is likely to continue his/her good behavior.</p>

  12251.  
  12252.  
  12253.  
  12254. <p><br />The sports arena is a place where players need constant improvement and motivation to succeed, so no doubt that both forms of reinforcement are frequently used.<br /><br />Negative reinforcement in sports includes removing something undesirable that follows a good behavior.<br /><br />For instance, after a winning match, the team is allowed to skip the training for the day and enjoy their free time outdoors.<br /><br />Or, if a player was given a time-out, returning to the game is also an example of negative reinforcement.</p>

  12262. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Negative reinforcement techniques</strong></h2>
  12263.  
  12264.  
  12265.  
  12266. <p>Negative reinforcement is the idea of taking away an unwanted stimulus in order to encourage good behavior. A good example in the classroom would be a teacher taking away homework because the class was so well behaved. The students avoid the unwanted stimulus (homework) by exhibiting a wanted behavior.</p>
  12267.  
  12268.  
  12269.  
  12270. <p><strong>Characteristics of negative reinforcement</strong></p>
  12271.  
  12272.  
  12273.  
  12274. <p>Take, for instance, angry parents that argue with their teenage daughter about the mess in her room. Arguing is the aversive stimulus that influences the daughter to clean up the mess.<br /><br />Once she has done it, her parents’ anger is gone, and they get on well. Seeing the positive home environment and her parents’ satisfaction is likely to influence the girl to clean her room every time her room gets untidy.</p>
  12275.  
  12276.  
  12277.  
  12278. <p>Rather than delivering an aversive stimulus (punishment) or a reward (positive reinforcement), negative reinforcement works by taking away something that the individual finds undesirable. This removal reinforces the behavior that proceeds it, making it more likely that the response will occur again in the future.</p>
  12279.  
  12280.  
  12281.  
  12282. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Reinforcement Schedule Types</strong></h3>
  12283.  
  12284.  
  12285.  
  12286. <p><strong>Behavioral psychologists recognize two basic forms of reinforcement schedules:</strong></p>
  12287.  
  12288.  
  12289.  
  12290. <ul>
  12291. <li><strong>Continuous Reinforcement</strong></li>
  12292.  
  12293.  
  12294.  
  12295. <li><strong>Partial Reinforcement</strong></li>
  12296. </ul>
  12297.  
  12298.  
  12299.  
  12300. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Continuous Reinforcement</strong></h3>
  12301.  
  12302.  
  12303.  
  12304. <p>Continuous reinforcement means strengthening the desired behavior every time it occurs.</p>
  12305.  
  12306.  
  12307.  
  12308. <p>It is the most recommended technique to stimulate new processes or new activities because the link between the response and the behavior is the most evident.</p>
  12309.  
  12310.  
  12311.  
  12312. <p>In other words, when teaching new activity, the desired response gets followed by a defined consequence that stimulates the behavior.</p>
  12313.  
  12314.  
  12315.  
  12316. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Partial (Intermittent) Reinforcement</strong></h3>
  12317.  
  12318.  
  12319.  
  12320. <p>This reinforcement type follows continuous reinforcement after establishing a firm response.</p>
  12321.  
  12322.  
  12323.  
  12324. <p>As the name implies, it doesn’t happen every time the desired behavior happens, but periodically, to enhance already learned behavior.</p>
  12325.  
  12326.  
  12327.  
  12328. <p>Thus, it is a more natural form of reinforcement and sufficient to strengthen the behavior.</p>
  12329.  
  12330.  
  12331.  
  12332. <p><strong>Partial reinforcement has four schedules:</strong></p>
  12333.  
  12334.  
  12335.  
  12336. <ul>
  12337. <li><strong>Fixed-Ratio Schedules</strong>&nbsp;– Here, the reinforcement occurs after a specific number of responses that you have previously set. For instance, if you teach a child to write, you will stimulate him/her only after they have written five sentences.</li>
  12338.  
  12339.  
  12340.  
  12341. <li><strong>Variable-Ratio Schedules&nbsp;</strong>– The reinforcement here occurs after a random number of responses, but the rate usually is steady. It is a method used in casinos and gambling sites to stimulate the participants.</li>
  12342.  
  12343.  
  12344.  
  12345. <li><strong>Fixed-Interval Schedules</strong>&nbsp;– Here, the reinforcement happens after a certain point of time has passed.</li>
  12346.  
  12347.  
  12348.  
  12349. <li><strong>Variable-Interval Schedules</strong>&nbsp;– With these schedules, the behavior is reinforced after an undetermined time has passed. The rate of response here is slow and steady.</li>
  12350. </ul>
  12351.  
  12352.  
  12353.  
  12354. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Negative Reinforcement Vs Negative Punishment</strong></h2>
  12355.  
  12356.  
  12357.  
  12358. <p>Reinforcement and punishment are the two key concepts in Skinner’s operant conditioning. While both influence behavior change, their end goals greatly differ.</p>
  12359.  
  12360.  
  12361.  
  12362. <p>Reinforcement aims to encourage or stimulate certain behavior, while punishment discourages or prevents a certain behavior from happening.</p>
  12363.  
  12364.  
  12365.  
  12366. <p>The only thing they have in common is the way they are carried out. Namely, negative in both methods means that something is removed or taken away to influence behavior change.</p>
  12367.  
  12368.  
  12369.  
  12370. <p><strong>Negative Reinforcement Vs Positive Reinforcement</strong></p>
  12371.  
  12372.  
  12373.  
  12374. <p><br />One of the most common misconceptions about negative and positive reinforcement is thinking of them as good or bad.<br /><br />However, they are both methods used to foster behavior. And, as we have said, positive reinforcement means that a stimulus is added to strengthen a behavior, unlike negative reinforcement, where usually adverse stimuli are removed.<br /><br />You can think of positive reinforcement as methods that stimulate or engage a person in a specific, desired behavior.<br /><br />The most common forms of positive reinforcement include verbal praise, promotion, appreciation, or reward.<br /><br />It is a very effective method, and it is widely used in all social environments.</p>
  12375.  
  12376.  
  12377.  
  12378. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pros and Cons of Negative Reinforcement</strong></h2>
  12379.  
  12380.  
  12381.  
  12382. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Advantages of Negative Reinforcement</strong></h3>
  12383.  
  12384.  
  12385.  
  12386. <ul>
  12387. <li>Negative reinforcement usually delivers immediate results, and it takes a lower effort to impose the desired behavior.</li>
  12388.  
  12389.  
  12390.  
  12391. <li>With negative reinforcement, you don’t need constant follow-up, as removing the adverse stimuli is effective enough to maintain the behavior.</li>
  12392.  
  12393.  
  12394.  
  12395. <li>It can increase a person’s self-confidence and boost his/her potentials.</li>
  12396. </ul>
  12397.  
  12398.  
  12399.  
  12400. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Disadvantages of Negative Reinforcement</strong></h3>
  12401.  
  12402.  
  12403.  
  12404. <ul>
  12405. <li>Since the removal of negative stimuli is self-explanatory, negative reinforcement can discourage communication, leading to misunderstanding.</li>
  12406.  
  12407.  
  12408.  
  12409. <li>It imposes compliant behavior without much choice left.</li>
  12410.  
  12411.  
  12412.  
  12413. <li>Non-compliance can have an opposite effect, and when used in animal training, it can be even dangerous.</li>
  12414. </ul>

  12440. <p>Don&#8217;t you get tired of childish people gasping in a sigh with a ridiculous look on their faces before exclaiming, &#8220;I&#8217;m not focusing on the motivation bro?&#8221;  Fact Check? That&#8217;s the point!  </p>
  12441.  
  12442.  
  12443.  
  12444. <p>We don&#8217;t want to stress ourselves out with being smart, innovative and creative because being childish and dumb is easier and more rewarding.  Not really having anything significant to contribute to anybody is less complicated.  And you don&#8217;t have to worry about being accountable or socially responsible.  </p>
  12445.  
  12446.  
  12447.  
  12448. <p>Have you ever Googled &#8220;What type of knowledge would you have to have to build a highway?&#8221;</p>
  12449.  
  12450.  
  12451.  
  12452. <p>According to Google &#8230;&#8221;The starting point for a career in road construction is to pass GGSE in subjects like math, technology and design. These are some of the critical skills needed in road construction work and many companies require them even for apprentices. The core job skills and abilities are not taught in class, but on the job.  &#8220;Also, according to Workforce Development Agencies, &#8220;There are four levels of certification for road construction jobs. </p>
  12453.  
  12454.  
  12455.  
  12456. <p>Level 1 is the Certificate for Basic Construction Skills. </p>
  12457.  
  12458.  
  12459.  
  12460. <p>Level 2 is the Certificate in Building Crafts. </p>
  12461.  
  12462.  
  12463.  
  12464. <p>Level 3 is the Diploma in Work Preparation for Building and Construction. </p>
  12465.  
  12466.  
  12467.  
  12468. <p>Level 4 is the Diploma in Construction Operations.&#8221;</p>
  12469.  
  12470.  
  12471.  
  12472. <p>I don&#8217;t know how many private road construction crews have legitimate state agency approved workers, but my guess is that there&#8217;s a responsible reporting agency that is in charge of keeping track of that type of enforcement.</p>
  12473.  
  12474.  
  12475.  
  12476. <p>In all sectors of society there are responsible mature adult people responsible for helping our communities develop.  </p>
  12477.  
  12478.  
  12479.  
  12480. <p>Behind the scenes of any media, sports or entertainment venue there are people who are responsible for protection.  As listeners we may see only the spotlight actors.  However, there&#8217;s a cast of thousands of production support staff that are also held accountable for decisions they make on-work and off-work.</p>
  12481.  
  12482.  
  12483.  
  12484. <p>So the next time you open your mouth and try to make somebody feel stupid &#8220;for being motivated&#8221; just think about the parts you left out of the truth.</p>

  12516. <p>Change managers in an organization are tasked with successfully guiding employees through periods of transition before both small changes such as software or process alterations or big changes such as restructuring and downsizing.</p>
  12517.  
  12518.  
  12519.  
  12520. <p>Every employee handles the idea of change differently, requiring managers to employ a variety of strategies and activities to help workers adopt and embrace what&#8217;s to come. </p>
  12521.  
  12522.  
  12523.  
  12524. <p>One of the most successful strategies is encouraging two-way dialogue between managers and employees through asking and answering questions or providing feedback.</p>
  12525.  
  12526.  
  12527.  
  12528. <p>Change managers can also align human resources systems for the betterment of their workers, providing access to and education about tools and resources that can help employees navigate change both personally (their well-being) and professionally (training to develop necessary skills). </p>
  12529.  
  12530.  
  12531.  
  12532. <p>It&#8217;s important that managers are equipped with the personal and leadership skills to guide employees through transition. Training, education, and mentoring can help achieve this.</p>

  13001. <p>Critical thinking is a fundamental skill that is essential for success in today&#8217;s fast-paced, knowledge-based economy. It is the ability to think clearly, logically, and independently to make informed decisions and solve complex problems. </p>
  13002.  
  13003.  
  13004.  
  13005. <p>The traditional approach to teaching critical thinking has focused mainly on cognitive skills such as analysis, evaluation, and synthesis. However, recent research has shown that the integration of emotional and technological components in education can enhance critical thinking skills. Emotional intelligence, digital literacy, and social media literacy are key components of the approach.</p>

  13015.  
  13016.  
  13017. <p>Several studies have explored the relationship between emotional intelligence and critical thinking. According to Mayer and Salovey (1997), emotional intelligence involves the ability to perceive, understand, and regulate emotions. They argue that emotional intelligence is essential for critical thinking because it helps individuals to manage their emotions and make rational decisions. </p>

  13023.  
  13024.  
  13025. <p>Why is emotional intelligence important to critical thinking? If you have emotional intelligence skills, your thinking mind and emotional mind should function together, making it more likely that you will craft sound, rational decisions. This means that you will think before you act.</p>
  13026.  
  13027.  
  13028.  
  13029. <p>Similarly, Goleman (1995) suggests that emotional intelligence is a critical component of effective leadership and problem-solving. Emotional intelligence, (EI) is the ability to understand, manage, and use your own emotions and the emotions of others.&nbsp;It&#8217;s a key skill for making good decisions.&nbsp;</p>

  13543. <p><br />Thank you, Mr. Speaker, as ranking member of the committee on ethics, I rise and support house resolution 878 which seeks to expel George Santos from the House of Representatives. One of our most basic obligations as members of Congress is to adhere to the principal that public office is a public trust as the ethics committees report lays out in thorough detail, Mr. Santos has repeatedly and egregiously and brazenly violated the public&#8217;s trust. </p>

  13547. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  13548. <p>Mr. Santos is not a victim. He is a perpetrator actor of a massive fraud on his constituents and the American people. In fewer than nine months, and despite Mr. Santos&#8217;s non-cooperation, and numerous attempts to mislead the committee, the ethics, committee compiled, a staggering factual record against him.</p>
  13549. </blockquote>
  13550.  
  13551.  
  13552.  
  13553. <p><br />And my colleague has already outlined all of the subpoenas, pages of documents, and witnesses, and I&#8217;m not going to go through that again. But let me just say that the staggering factual record owes to the superb, work of the committee&#8217;s non-partisan attorneys and investigative staff who I would like to sincerely thank for their efforts and dedicated service to the house.</p>
  13554.  
  13555.  
  13556.  
  13557. <p>And I just want to remind everyone that the ethics committee is the only committee in congress that is completely bipartisan and an equal number of democrats and republicans made this unanimous decision. Thank you.</p>

  13580. <description><![CDATA[Shortly after the panel’s report was released, Santos blasted it as a “politicized smear” in a tweet on X but said that he would not be seeking reelection to a second term.
  13581. The panel said that Santos knowingly caused his campaign committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission; used campaign funds for personal purposes; and engaged in violations of the Ethics in Government Act as it relates to financial disclosure statements filed with the House.]]></description>
  13582. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  13583. <p>The ethics panel’s report also detailed Santos’ lack of cooperation with its investigation and how he “evaded” straightforward requests for information. The information that he did provide, according to the committee, “included material misstatements that further advanced falsehoods he made during his 2022 campaign.”  Later on Friday, a Capitol worker could be seen changing the lock on the door of Santos&#8217; former office. A small bouquet of pink flowers had been placed on the floor outside.</p>

  13587. <p>George Anthony Devolder Santos is an American politician who served as the U.S. representative for New York&#8217;s 3rd congressional district from January to December 2023. According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Santos">Wikipedia</a> Born: July 22, 1988 (age 35 years), <a href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=587040545&amp;rlz=1C1GCEJ_enUS1086&amp;q=Jackson+Heights&amp;si=ALGXSlYh1-GEPndq7qMo--O-TPixQtNN4JMroSxgItz5kq0stIAU3gk3w9WGuId-4z9m5mAm2Hi5Qq_WOojsY_C-BdUQCC1Lbv2DNE2nstFp-bhGXnDSAKhmW_hc_fXTKYiSu2KG-9AFB5RJUswaNJQzsBfuW4ETxosqkY4GcPpc-vUx-Jke_VVer5UshHXGqxLO2Y1HRS5zyWbPrZiZalbr0pjlc1N8CQ%3D%3D&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwitiqnihu-CAxVCnWoFHWbXAEgQmxMoAHoECB4QAg">Jackson Heights, New York, NY</a>  Party: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=587040545&amp;rlz=1C1GCEJ_enUS1086&amp;q=Republican+Party&amp;si=ALGXSlZS0YT-iRe81F2cKC9lM9KWTK4y0m5Atx8g9YliNNw2mZNzJ5MonSmpiDVTZ-cBIxGPCfMXyD-4O8eIS85cS5ltV_1PEDvbYdGF8b8YY1ON37tPRJjjhntO6qF0XkxI3xyUmJD38ACVoe6pJ0tiZvj0n12jizydnH3nyzu2lnBQyWLbE7gftu6_vM5bu7skAhkjXqRgQT0AgsUU4XnOBTCcZ32dzw%3D%3D&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwitiqnihu-CAxVCnWoFHWbXAEgQmxMoAHoECB8QAg">Republican Party</a> Nationality:  American</p>

  13590.  
  13591. <p>The extraordinary move, unseen in 20 years, took three attempts over six months and required support from large numbers in both parties to meet the inflated threshold — two-thirds of the chamber — for expelling a sitting member. The final tally, 311-114-2, surpassed that mark, with 105 Republicans joining almost all Democrats to remove the scandal-plagued Santos after just 11 months in office.</p>

  13596.  
  13597.  
  13598.  
  13599. <p>Embattled New York Rep. George Santos was expelled from the House on Friday in a historic vote following a House Ethics Committee investigation into alleged fraud perpetrated by his campaign after months of scandals around the freshman Republican lawmaker.</p>
  13600.  
  13601.  
  13602.  
  13603. <p>There were 311 votes to remove Santos, with 114 voting against and two voting presents. Santos grabbed his coat and left the floor before the vote had concluded. One hundred and five Republicans voted to boot Santos, and 112 voted for him to remain. Reps. Bobby Scott of Virginia and Nikema Williams of Georgia were the only two Democrats to vote against expelling Santos.</p>
  13604.  
  13605.  
  13606.  
  13607. <p>When asked for his reaction following the result, Santos said, “It’s over. What reaction?” Asked if he would use his privileges as a former congressman to visit the House floor in the future, he replied, “To hell with this place.”</p>
  13608.  
  13609.  
  13610.  
  13611. <p>Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller claimed that Santos had defrauded both Miller and his mother by charging campaign contributions to their personal credit cards. Rep. David Joyce told CNN that Miller’s message resulted in some GOP members voting against Santos.</p>
  13612.  
  13613.  
  13614.  
  13615. <p>Following the vote, Santos’s seat will be immediately vacated and the already slim Republican majority under House Speaker Mike Johnson will narrow further. A special election to fill his seat in the competitive district will likely happen within three months. Johnson and other members of GOP leadership, including Steve Scalise and Elise Stefanik, voted against the expulsion. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul posted to social media that she was &#8220;prepared to undertake the solemn responsibility of filling the vacancy in New York’s 3rd District.</p>
  13616.  
  13617.  
  13618.  
  13619. <p>Marcus Dunn, Santos&#8217;s chief of staff, told reporters that there will be staff in the office to handle constituent services like passports and immigration. That personnel will report to the House clerk. Dunn added that someone will come by to take down Santos’s name outside his former office.</p>
  13620.  
  13621.  
  13622.  
  13623. <p>WASHINGTON (AP) Updated on Nov 16, 2023 — The House Ethics committee in a scathing report Thursday said it has amassed “overwhelming evidence” of lawbreaking by Rep. George Santos of New York that has been sent to the Justice Department, concluding flatly that the Republican “cannot be trusted” after a monthslong investigation into his conduct.</p>

  13633. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The House voted Friday to expel Rep. <a href="https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=George%20Santos">George Santos</a>, ending the New York Republican’s tumultuous tenure in Congress</h2>
  13634.  
  13635.  
  13636.  
  13637. <p>Before Santos was even sworn in, a steady stream of media reports began last December revealing that he had misled voters about nearly every aspect of his life during the campaign.</p>
  13638.  
  13639.  
  13640.  
  13641. <p>Included in the lies put forth by Santos are his religion (he said he was Jewish and his grandparents had escaped the Holocaust before saying he was Catholic but “Jew-ish”), his educational background (he lied about attending both New York University and Baruch College, saying he was a star volleyball player at the latter), his employment history (he said he worked at Goldman Sachs when he had not) and the death of his mother (Santos said she had died in the Sept. 11 attacks, but she died in 2016 and was not in the United States on 9/11). The North Shore Leader, a Long Island outlet, reported during the campaign that Santos had filed his disclosure 20 months late and with an “inexplicable” rise in his net worth to $11 million.</p>
  13642.  
  13643.  
  13644.  
  13645. <p>Santos has also been alleged to have stolen money from a GoFundMe that was meant to help the dying dog of a military service member and was accused of writing bad checks to dog breeders in Pennsylvania, charges that were eventually dropped. One job he actually did have was with Harbor City Capital, which has been accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission of operating a Ponzi scheme. Santos also said that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema told him to hang in there during the 2022 State of the Union address, which the Arizona senator’s office told Yahoo News was a lie.</p>
  13646.  
  13647.  
  13648.  
  13649. <p>In May, Santos was charged with 13 counts that included wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and lying to the House of Representatives. Santos pleaded not guilty and called it a “witch hunt.”</p>
  13650.  
  13651.  
  13652.  
  13653. <p>In October, the Justice Department charged him with 23 counts tied to campaign fraud, putting forth allegations of “stealing people’s identities and making charges on his own donors’ credit cards without their authorization, lying to the FEC and, by extension, the public about the financial state of his campaign. Santos falsely inflated the campaign’s reported receipts with nonexistent loans and contributions that were either fabricated or stolen.” That trial is set for next year.</p>

One of the most troubling consequences of cyber-bullying is the phenomenon of &#8220;cancel culture.&#8221; Cancel culture refers to the practice of publicly shaming and ostracizing individuals who have expressed controversial or unpopular opinions.</a></p>

Adolis García had been one of their offensive superstars in the postseason, having already set an MLB record for RBI in a single postseason, but he had to be removed from the World Series roster due to an oblique injury. Max Scherzer was also removed. The Rangers had to scramble and replace two key players just hours before Game 4. </a></p>

  15792. <p>This Fox News article published on September 10, 2020 is what drew International Commentary about The Acceptance or Appropriateness of Fans&#8217; Racially Motivated Symbolic Expressions and possible negative profiling.</p>
  15793.  
  15794.  
  15795.  
  15796. <p>The article went on to read, &#8220;The limited number of Kansas City Chiefs fans who will be in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night to watch the defending Super Bowl champs take on the Houston Texans will not be allowed to have any Native American-like headdresses or face paint.&#8221;<br /><br />The rules are part of a push for racial justice following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis months ago, which caused the NFL, teams and players to find their voices on social initiatives. </p>

  15846. <p>Back in July, Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac, a Black man, became the first player in the NBA’s restart to stand during the anthem. His decision wasn’t the issue, but&nbsp;<a href="https://deadspin.com/jonathan-isaac-is-free-to-not-kneel-but-as-a-christian-1844582089">his reasoning was</a>, as it made no sense.  In the image below, Jonathan Isaac just addressed the media, where he was asked to explain why he didn&#8217;t kneel or wear a BLM shirt &#8230; and he says a lot of it has to do with his religious beliefs.</p>

  15872. <p>This isn’t a column about kneeling, Phillips goes on to remark, but, it is one about how the conversation around the act has changed over the last few months.

These interactions are not something that The U.S. is provoking.&nbsp; Our enemies are provoking us. And at some point, there will Be a reaction to the unsolicited and unwarranted provocations.&nbsp; And I hope that it&#8217;s the right reaction.&nbsp; And I don&#8217;t envy The Biden Administration for all of the things that are going on.</p>

  15936. <p><strong>Greg Gutfeld</strong><br /><br />But a lot of Biden policies, led to a lot of these events. So I think that when The Biden Administration talks about all of their accomplishments, a lot of their accomplishments and The biden administration are also their vulnerabilities, going into the election, are great. These are the same people who think the way you commend yesterday isn&#8217;t great.  They think that Hamas is releasing hostages without even considering what happened on October 7th is good.  It&#8217;s like, there&#8217;s this veil that&#8217;s covering what the acts of October 7, 2023 were. Well, that&#8217;s why The Biden Administration will perpetually be involved in an endless cycle of tit-for-tat, because they look at people as evil as opposed to looking at their acts of evil.  They believe if you describe each act independently as good or evil and obviously October 7 some of these acts are evil.  They believe.you cannot justify it. But as long as you say, those people are evil that you can talk about history and context and open that air prisons and all this other stuff that&#8217;s been going on for 60 years. That&#8217;s why they don&#8217;t do it.<br /><br />I don&#8217;t think Joe Biden has gone far enough under his watch if there have been no world war wars.  That, we&#8217;ve had no bubonic plagues. We&#8217;ve had no alien invasions,  I mean, from outer space. That is Jessica. And also we&#8217;ve had no zombie apocalypse. So in that context, who cares? If we have a relentless crime wave or a collapsing, education system or a military and police decline, rising anti American rhetoric, and real estate collapse.  You know, a transportation system in total disarray from planes trains to EVs. I still can&#8217;t get an EV Bentley. That&#8217;s a callback. Anyway, got open borders. We got inflation, we got two wars, but again, no people want to play? No World War III, No space aliens. No zombie apocalypse.  I think on the whole. It&#8217;s a win-win. Yeah, and they think so too. Yes.</p>

  15948. <p>On Jesse Watters Primetime he speaks with newsmakers from across the country to give Americans a show where straight talk is the only talk.  This show addresses several topics, but the &#8220;reverse discrimination&#8221; al·lo·cu·tion got my attention.  It didn&#8217;t get my license because it was the first time that I&#8217;ve &#8220;Over-heard a white man saying anything about reverse discrimination.&#8221; It&#8217;s because there are so few blacks in the media who are &#8220;especially allowed national syndication.&#8221; This includes Mr. Carron.J Phillips Carron J.

From soccer to hockey the football face. Paints are a part of fan culture. Sometimes you see guys paint their whole bodies. This is a family show, we&#8217;re not going to show that, but the more die hard, the fan base, the more exuberant the look. The Kansas City Chiefs have a rich history of fanatical Sunday displays.</p>

And then they canceled “face-paint,” – the horse.&nbsp; And they just have a big drum now, they bang.</p>

Like if we&#8217;re going to be racist, we got to be accurately racist, you know?&nbsp; But my whole thing is this: if you&#8217;re going out to buy something, you know, to darken your face. Why did you not buy the red instead of the black?&nbsp; Did you just have some black face material hanging around your crib? Because you&#8217;re so deeply rooted&nbsp; in racism.&nbsp; Like it&#8217;s just something that you can use a lot of in your crib. Some black face material, that&#8217;s what I was confused about because if you&#8217;re gonna be racist like you need to buy the red face. But why did you just not buy the red face and did you have some black patient hanging around the crib?</p>

Slogans like &#8220;Stop Racism&#8221; have appeared on helmets and in NFL end zones, and some players drew widespread attention—even from former President&nbsp;<a class="multivariate" href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>—for kneeling during the national anthem.</p>

They were legit in black-face.&nbsp; Grown men.&nbsp; Why can&#8217;t a boy dress up like an Indian?&nbsp; If Liz Warren, can identify as an Indian. Liz even told media outlets that, “I have lived in a family that has talked about native americans and talked about tribes. Since i&#8217;ve been a little girl.&nbsp; I still have a picture of my mantle at home, and it&#8217;s a picture of my mother.&nbsp; She had before that a picture of my grandfather.&nbsp; And my Aunt Be, she has walked by that picture. at least a thousand times and remarked, “That her father, my papa had high cheekbones.”&nbsp; Like all of the Indians do.&nbsp; Being a Native American has been part of my story, I guess since the day I was born.

  16161. <p>So little boys can dress up as vikings, pirates, cowboys and cowgirls. Apparently leprechauns, go to the Celtics Games , but not an American Indian. <br /><br />I mean, my kids get their faces painted at birthday parties. Is there a color scheme that we need to run by male Karen before?  I think male Karen needs to leave this child alone and worry about his own children. If he has any? </p>

  16173. <p><strong>Jesse Watters guest Charly Arnolt comments</strong><br /><br />I have lived in Kansas City for several years, I was a local news reporter in Kansas City and I was at Chiefs games, you even alluded to how people go all out there.&nbsp; People Go nuts to see people with full body paint, headdresses doing the tomahawk chop. Which also, by the way, the left has tried to cancel saying that it&#8217;s another form of racism. Uh, it&#8217;s just commonplace in Kansas City. What did this boy do? He did absolutely nothing wrong. I didn&#8217;t wake up this week thinking, you know what, I need one more piece of evidence of how deranged and delusional the leftist media is, but here we are, we have it.&nbsp; And yet Deadspin has taken it to another level who would have thought that they had, the one guy&#8217;s face. He had black near the eyes, okay. So there&#8217;s the eyes.</p>

  16181. <p>Is that wrong? Can you not do that? Can they not be. I mean this guy is clearly&nbsp; trying to imitate a native american warrior.&nbsp; Those are the colors, the teams color schemes And the guy didn&#8217;t even say that the other side of the face was red. Well, that&#8217;s the problem with Carron J Phillips he doubled down upon getting the community notes when Elon Musk called him a racist and a deceptive liar. He still decided to put out another note on X saying, you know, even if you saw that his other side of his face was red, this is still just as bad if not worse because you&#8217;re also no like somebody who says that they hate a Spanish, but then wears a sombrero on cinco de Mayo.</p>

  16189. <p>I have no idea if you know people that were defending, this kid, had a spanish tie.&nbsp; No one hates hispanics. And then what&#8217;s wrong with wearing a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo? Listen, Carron J Phillips is nothing but a race-baiting hack.&nbsp; You already mentioned several of the examples of his lengthy track record even last year.&nbsp; Calling white people, white supremacists, because in his words, they were watching an NBA game while blacks were being murdered in the street. This is exactly his M-O.. He is looking to incite people, and unfortunately, in this situation, it completely works. We had another well-known idiot. Also chime in saying that this completely goes against the NFL&#8217;s about and racist people were completely jumping on board.</p>

Oh that would have been fine apparently to male Karen. <br /><br />He would have still put out an article, but it would have had a completely different spin to it. Dead spin, if you will.&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, Dead Spin should remember.when Dead Spin used to be cool. <br /><br />No, when it first came out, Dead Spin was actually a cool place to get your sports news not anymore. It has gone completely well, but you&#8217;re right. If this little boy, would have had on a dress, a blonde wig, he would have been celebrated by male Karen.</p>

  16213. <p>Carron J Phillips would have touted him as a national hero, but because he wanted to celebrate his team. He was proclaimed as a racist.&nbsp; How sad is it that someone is trying to ruin a kid&#8217;s life? Did you ever wear a headdress and paint yourself when you went to a Chiefs game? No, I did not actually do it. So you weren&#8217;t really a hardcore? No, I was not a hardcore fan. I was just trying to stay warm because it&#8217;s very cold at arrowhead. So i just wanted to say I was crazy. They&#8217;d wanna be&nbsp; like the fan that doesn&#8217;t wear anything and just paints his whole body. No, that is not the life that I live in. Not yet at least. Okay. All right. Well maybe next time we&#8217;ll have a headdress party. I was like all right we&#8217;ll see we&#8217;ll see what Carron J Phillips has to say about it.&nbsp; He won&#8217;t like it.</p>

  16329. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  16330. <p>AP- A woman who said Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her when she was a young comedy writer more than 50 years ago filed a lawsuit against the actor Thursday under a soon-to-expire New York law that gave victims of sexual abuse a one-year window for claims that would otherwise be barred by time limits.  </p>
  16331.  
  16332.  
  16333.  
  16334. <p>Cosby, 86, has been accused of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment by more than 60 women. He has denied all allegations involving sex crimes.<br /><br />Joan Tarshis initially came forward with allegations against Cosby in 2014 that are repeated in the new lawsuit. Tarshis said Cosby drugged her and forced her to perform oral sex on him in 1969 or 1970, and then drugged and raped her during another encounter a year or two later.<br /><br />The New York resident was living in California at the time of the first assault and had met Cosby through a mutual friend while he was starring in “The Bill Cosby Show,” according to the lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court in New York City.</p>
  16335.  
  16336.  
  16337.  
  16338. <p>Tarshis previously sued Cosby in Massachusetts, where Cosby had a home. She was among seven women who filed defamation claims after Cosby branded them liars. The cases were settled in 2019.</p>
  16339.  
  16340.  
  16341.  
  16342. <p>A spokesperson for Cosby, 86, declined to comment on the specifics of the lawsuit, but suggested that look-back windows in place in New York and elsewhere should be closed because they were being abused to go after wealthy celebrities. </p>
  16343.  
  16344.  
  16345.  
  16346. <p>The new lawsuit alleges assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment. It seeks unspecified damages.  &#8220;When will it stop and who will be the next man to be victimized by these look-back windows?&#8221; </p>
  16347.  
  16348.  
  16349.  
  16350. <p>“Diddy, LA Reid, Steven Tyler, and now they circle back to this,” spokesperson Andrew Wyatt said, referring to others recently sued under New York’s Adult Survivors Act. “When is it going to stop?”</p>
  16351.  
  16352.  
  16353.  
  16354. <p>Antonio “L.A.” Reid, a music executive, was sued last week by an executive who alleges that Reid sexually assaulted her twice in 2001. Email and telephone messages left for Joel Katz, an attorney who represented Reid when the allegations surfaced in 2017, weren’t immediately returned Friday night.<br /><br />Sean “Diddy” Combs has denied allegations of rape and abuse brought by a former girlfriend earlier this week.<br /><br />Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has not publicly responded to a lawsuit filed earlier this month.</p>
  16355.  
  16356.  
  16357.  
  16358. <p>Cosby has been accused of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment by more than 60 women, including several who have filed lawsuits over the past year under the Adult Survivors Act. He has denied all allegations involving sex crimes.<br /><br />Cosby was the first celebrity tried and convicted in the <a rel="tag" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://pacetulsa.wordpress.com/tag/metoo/">#MeToo</a> era and spent nearly three years at a state prison near Philadelphia before a higher court overturned the conviction and released him in 2021.</p>

  16362. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">US Supreme Court shows indifference to wrongful convictions</h2>
  16363.  
  16364.  
  16365.  
  16366. <p>Daniel Ortiz, Jones&#8217; attorney in the Barry Jones&#8217; case said, the court&#8217;s decision leaves &#8220;no way out&#8221; for people imprisoned for actions that are later declared not to be a crime.<br /><br />&#8220;It&#8217;s also just one example of the increasing hostility this court has to all forms of post conviction relief,&#8221; Ortiz added.<br /><br />Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan wrote in dissent that the ruling blocks a “prisoner who is actually innocent” from raising that claim “merely because he previously sought post conviction relief.&#8221;<br /><br />In a separate dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson methodically parsed the majority&#8217;s analysis and its underlying reasoning — and ultimately came up empty-handed.<br /><br />There “is simply no justification” for the court’s conclusions, not under the letter of the law, nor as a matter of policy and real-world outcomes, Jackson said.<br /><br />She added that the majority “tiptoes around what Jones is actually arguing” — legal innocence — by using euphemisms and obscuring language.<br /><br />The Jones decision and others before it demonstrate conservatives&#8217; apparent indifference to some of the most grave miscarriages of criminal justice. In effect, the court&#8217;s majority has quietly turned its backs to Americans who were wrongly convicted — who are almost always poor and disproportionately Black — and are languishing under excessive sentences or facing execution for crimes they didn&#8217;t commit.<br /><br />In 2021, the court held that prisoners can&#8217;t seek relief under a precedent which established that non-unanimous verdicts are unconstitutional, saying it applies to open cases, but not retroactively. That decision concerned a Black man facing a life sentence, and who was found not guilty by the lone Black juror in his trial. It also eliminated prisoners’ ability to argue for retroactive relief based on any other new rule of criminal procedure.<br /><br />The decision in Barry Jones&#8217; case, which blocked petitioners from introducing new evidence to show that their lawyers were ineffective, came the next month. The court later declined a motion to correct a factual error in its opinion that made it more likely that the defendants’ death sentences would be reinstated.<br /><br />And, in June 2022, the court restricted prisoners’ ability to obtain medical or other scientific evidence that might show that their convictions were unconstitutional.<br /><br />Those rulings rested on dubious interpretations of post conviction laws or the perceived hassle of reviewing past convictions. But even the “finality” explanation doesn’t really hold water.<br /><br />Under the court’s latest ruling, a prisoner convicted of being a felon-in-possession 30 years ago could challenge that sentence, so long as the prisoner hasn&#8217;t filed a previous motion to vacate, while someone who was sentenced for the same crime two years ago cannot, Jackson pointed out.<br /><br />As the dissenters wrote, it is disturbing to see that the highest court in our judiciary tolerates, even prefers, these kinds of manifestly unjust outcomes.</p>

  16395. <description><![CDATA[The post discusses various social issues including police brutality and racial profiling, and emphasizes the importance of open dialogs and actions for successful implementation of projects. It also highlights the story of a ghost writer who shares tales of unexpected police kindness. The post emphasizes the role of activists across all generations in influencing social service trends, diverse workplace policies and standing up against social injustice. Finally, it mentions the 2020 Tulsa Equality Indicators Annual Report, that revealed improvements on the city's equality score, and the need for more organizations to work towards ending equity barriers.

  17189. <p>First, claims regarding diversity have come largely from research that examines how well individual legislators from The House of Representatives represent constituents in their districts.&nbsp;</p>
  17190.  
  17191.  
  17192.  
  17193. <p>These individual-level studies provide a limited picture of the impact of diversity on Congress because the vast majority of racial and ethnic minorities in the United States are not descriptively represented.&nbsp;</p>
  17194.  
  17195.  
  17196.  
  17197. <p>African-American, Latino, or Asian-American legislators arguably receive empowerment benefits gained from descriptive representation.&nbsp;</p>

  17202.  
  17203.  
  17204.  
  17205. <p>Potential areas for future research around descriptive representation can assess how growing diversity in the 118th Congress may matter for the numerous challenges the black community faces. This is especially true in the U.S. Senate.&nbsp;</p>
  17206.  
  17207.  
  17208.  
  17209. <p>Consequently, we know very little about why the presence of a small number of racial or ethnic minority legislators improves congressional attention to the interests of minorities.</p>
  17210.  
  17211.  
  17212.  
  17213. <p>Balanced, and targeted universalist rhetoric&nbsp;by congruent political activists exacting marginalized community interests conveys certain race policy strategies.</p>

  17221.  
  17222. <p>Disparaging marginalized people&#8217;s, radical distancing, moderate progressivism and&nbsp;Universalism rhetoric is effectively representing minority concerns regardless of whether the legislator is from a marginalized background.&nbsp;</p>
  17223.  
  17224.  
  17225.  
  17226. <p>Moreover, understanding how Congress collectively represents various constituencies including racial and ethnic minorities remains an important concern for political representation scholars (Weissberg 1978).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  17227.  
  17228.  
  17229.  
  17230. <p>Favored statements of color-blind universalism regarding civil-rights issues or perceived racial-issues, only presents the case of unbalanced representation of marginalized people&#8217;s concerns.</p>
  17231.  
  17232.  
  17233.  
  17234. <p>Second, most studies of political representation in the U.S. and especially The Senate finds that the less diverse Senate is not responsive, and is often hostile to the interests of racial and ethnic minorities.</p>

  17241. <p>Primarily because of mal-apportionment (Griffin 2006; Lee and Oppenheimer 1999) any system where one group has significantly more influence than another, such as when voting districts are unevenly spread out across a population (compare gerrymandering).</p>
  17242.

  17244.  
  17245. <pre class="wp-block-preformatted">This analysis builds on earlier Pew Research Center work to analyze the racial and ethnic makeup of the U.S. Congress. To determine the number of racial and ethnic minority lawmakers.<br /><br />We used data from the Congressional Research Service. U.S. population data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau. Historical data was pulled from CQ Roll Call, CRS and the Brookings Institution. All racial groups refer to single-race non-Hispanics. Hispanics are of any race.</pre>
  17246.  
  17247.  
  17248.  
  17249. <p>A quarter of voting members of the U.S. Congress identify their race or ethnicity as something other than non-Hispanic White, making the 118th Congress the most racially and ethnically diverse to date.&nbsp;</p>
  17250.  
  17251.  
  17252.  
  17253. <p>This continues a long-running trend toward more racial and ethnic diversity on Capitol Hill: This is the seventh Congress to see descriptive representation recognized increases.</p>

  17261. <p>Overall, 133 senators and representatives today identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian American, American Indian or Alaska Native, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the Congressional Research Service. </p>
  17262.  
  17263.  
  17264.  
  17265. <p>This number has nearly doubled in the two decades since the 108th Congress of 2003-05, which had 67 minority members.</p>
  17266.  
  17267.  
  17268.  
  17269. <p>Our analysis of the 118th Congress reflects the 534 voting members of Congress as of Jan. 3, 2023. Portuguese American members are not included in the Hispanic count.</p>
  17270.  
  17271.

  17289. <p>Despite growing racial and ethnic diversity on Capitol Hill, members of Congress are still far more likely than the overall U.S. population to be non-Hispanic White (75% vs. 59%). </p>
  17290.  
  17291.  
  17292.  
  17293. <p>This gap is about as wide as it was in 1981, when 94% of members of Congress were White, compared with 80% of the U.S. population.</p>
  17294.  
  17295.  
  17296.  
  17297. <p>In the new House of Representatives, 27 freshman members – including 19 Democrats and eight Republicans – are racial or ethnic minorities. In the last Congress, 16 freshman representatives – including seven Democrats and nine Republicans – were non-White.</p>
  17298.  
  17299.  
  17300.  
  17301. <p>Representation of some racial and ethnic groups in the House is now on par with their share of the total U.S. population, while others continue to lag behind. </p>
  17302.  
  17303.  
  17304.  
  17305. <p>For example, 13% of House members are Black, about equal to the total share of Black Americans. And American Indians and Alaska Natives now make up about 1% of both the House and the U.S. population.</p>

  17312.  
  17313. <p>On the other hand, the share of Hispanic representatives in the House is much lower than the Hispanic share of the U.S. population (11% vs. 19%). </p>
  17314.  
  17315.  
  17316.  
  17317. <p>Asian Americans, meanwhile, account for 4% of House members and 6% of the national population.</p>
  17318.  
  17319.  
  17320.  
  17321. <p>This analysis includes four representatives who have more than one racial or ethnic identity: Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., is counted as Black and Asian. </p>
  17322.  
  17323.  
  17324.  
  17325. <p>Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York identifies as Black and Hispanic. </p>
  17326.  
  17327.  
  17328.  
  17329. <p>Rep. Marilyn Strickland, D-Wash., is both the first Black lawmaker to represent the state and one of the first Korean American women to be elected to Congress. </p>
  17330.  
  17331.  
  17332.  
  17333. <p>And Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the first Generation Z member of Congress, is both Black and Hispanic.</p>
  17334.  
  17335.  
  17336.  
  17337. <p>When it comes to the upper chamber of Congress, 12 senators are members of a racial or ethnic minority group, up slightly from 11 in the 117th Congress. Six senators are Hispanic, two are Asian, three are Black and one is American Indian.</p>
  17338.  
  17339.  
  17340.  
  17341. <p>Four of the 12 non-White senators are Republicans: Tim Scott of South Carolina is Black, and Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas are both Hispanic. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, a member of the Cherokee nation, is the first American Indian to serve in the Senate in almost two decades.</p>
