Red Sox Send Triston Casas To White Sox For Ace In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

Thursday, December 19, 2024 JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), selected by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ) to develop and operate the new Terminal 6 (T6) at John F. Kennedy International Airport, has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to procure a future all-electric fleet of ground support equipment (GSE). This initiative aligns with the terminal’s sustainability goals and is set to support T6 airlines and other partners when the state-of-the-art terminal opens in early 2026. Terminal 6 is a cornerstone of PANYNJ’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class aviation gateway. This comprehensive overhaul includes the addition of two new terminals, upgrades to existing facilities, a modern ground transportation center, and a streamlined roadway network. JMP’s RFP invites vendors to provide electric-powered GSE currently available in the market, including essential equipment such as pushback units (both conventional and towbarless), baggage tugs, belt loaders, K-loaders, stair trucks, and more. Proposals must include charging infrastructure, maintenance, and repair services. The chosen provider will collaborate with JMP to design and implement charging infrastructure across T6’s designated areas. This shared all-electric fleet is integral to T6’s broader commitment to sustainability, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and eliminate reliance on fossil fuels throughout the terminal. Key environmental features at T6 include high-efficiency building systems, over 6,000 solar panels for renewable energy generation, stormwater capture and reuse systems, and a robust recycling program that diverts 90% of construction and operational waste, including asphalt, concrete, and steel. These efforts align with JMP’s objective to secure LEED* and ENVISION Gold certifications, recognized benchmarks for sustainable infrastructure. The all-electric GSE initiative also supports PANYNJ’s Net Zero Roadmap, a comprehensive plan to achieve agency-wide greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2050. This roadmap encompasses electric vehicle fleets, solar energy production, building decarbonization, and sustainable construction practices. Terminal 6 represents a significant leap toward a greener future for JFK Airport, setting a new standard for sustainability in global aviation. “Our fully-electric T6 ground fleet will play a critical role in our quest to deliver an outstanding new terminal that is sustainable by design, operationally efficient and makes use of all the latest technologies to help us exceed our sustainability goals,” said Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners. “We are excited to launch this RFP for an electric fleet of ground support equipment that will best serve our T6 airline partners, passengers, our airport community, and our planet for many years to come,” said Karen Ali, COO, JFK Millennium Partners. “We look forward to working with our future partner to create this new standard of operational excellence at JFK,” Ali added. In 2022, the Port Authority introduced the Zero-Emission Airside Vehicle (ZEAV) rule, mandating the transition to zero-emission ground service equipment (GSE) at the region’s three major airports. The rule requires the majority of the GSE fleet to achieve zero-emission status by 2030. To facilitate this transition, the Port Authority is providing charging infrastructure, ensuring GSE charging capabilities at all new gates, and collaborating with tenants on infrastructure planning. Interested parties wishing to participate in the electric ground support equipment RFP can contact the JMP procurement team for a copy of the RFP and additional details. The deadline for proposal submissions is January 17, 2025, and JMP anticipates selecting a provider by the first quarter of 2025.Knight stops 20 shots, Florida rolls past Carolina 6-0 for 2nd win over 'Canes in as many days

Rhiannon WilliamsBRTV Launches Five-Part Documentary Series "Mahoney Observation: The Voice of Public Opinion on '12345'" 12-18-2024 08:58 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: Getnews / PR Agency: SHENZHEN HMEDIUM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD The five-part documentary series "Mahoney Observation: The Voice of Public Opinion on '12345'" will air from December 16 to 20 at 9 PM on Beijing Satellite TV. Produced by BRTV, "Mahoney Observation: The Voice of Public Opinion on '12345'" is the first documentary in China to focus on the 12345 hotline from an international perspective, showcasing the concept of whole-process people's democracy. Through the authentic observational lens of Professor Josef Gregory Mahoney from East China Normal University, a scholar and PhD advisor from the United States, the documentary records the public demands addressed by the 12345 hotline regarding issues like alley renovations, property management, simple building relocations, and the installation of elevators in old buildings, forming the basis for this five-episode series. Video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/n_raASh2UuAVideo Link: https://www.youtube.com/embed/n_raASh2UuA BRTV presents a unique perspective and innovative concepts in "Mahoney Observation: The Voice of Public Opinion on '12345'", illustrating Beijing's experience of "responding to complaints immediately." The documentary showcases several characteristics: Using a vivid narrative, BRTV highlights grassroots democracy through compelling stories and examples. It illustrates how reforms in Beijing, such as whistle-blowing, proactive governance, and handling complaints, explore new models for governance in mega-cities. For instance, two communities had differing opinions over a road affecting traffic and expressed their demands through the 12345 hotline. Residents' representatives on both sides showcased their efforts: a 70-year-old woman visiting households to gather opinions, while another resident organized a voting group via WeChat, demonstrating the democratic atmosphere in Beijing vividly. In another case, an old community faced opposition from neighbors during the installation of an elevator, leading to a request via the 12345 system, which initiated communication with the community. The community sought clarification from the district, which then relayed this to Beijing, culminating in the Beijing Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission providing a policy interpretation and announcement. This illustrates how the 12345 system patiently addresses every concerned resident through its complaint-handling mechanism. The documentary employs a full-recording approach to resonate with the audience on the joys and sorrows of people's lives. "Mahoney Observation: The Voice of Public Opinion on '12345'" deeply engages with its subjects, presenting genuine emotions and authenticity without staged scenes. Unlike previous experiences where international friends spent a day in the 12345 call center, Professor Mahoney delves into the complexities of five challenging cases, observing and experiencing the process firsthand. The efficiency of the "responding to complaints immediately" system, the intricate grassroots conflicts, the camaraderie and resilience of Beijing residents, and the dedication of grassroots officials evoke a range of emotions in Professor Mahoney-from laughter to anxiety, inspiration to tears. For example, during a visit to a family hesitant to vacate their self-built home due to lack of compensation, Mahoney held the hand of a Chinese woman, sharing stories about his mother. This emotional connection helped her overcome her concerns, leading to her decision to relocate. The documentary not only focuses on the mechanism of "responding to complaints immediately" but also on the individuals involved, questioning whether they find happiness through the 12345 system. Lastly, the documentary adopts a unique commentary perspective that provokes thought. Each episode features extensive original commentary from Professor Mahoney, reflecting his genuine viewpoints. These insights are distinctive and filled with memorable quotes, such as, "The ancient Bell and Drum Towers facilitated top-down communication, while today's 12345 hotline serves as a modern Bell and Drum Tower, promoting bottom-up dialogue."

Global Ship Repairing Market Set For 8.4% Growth, Reaching $54.57 Billion By 2028The UK government is taking a tougher stance on protecting children online, threatening tech platforms to introduce stricter regulation unless they introduce measures that will keep kids away from harmful content. Developers of age assurance technology should play a part in that, according to UK’s Technology Secretary Peter Kyle. The Online Safety Act should be implemented “as quickly and effectively as possible,” according to a new document released last Wednesday by the UK Department of Science, Innovation and Technology. The Draft Statement of Strategic Priorities outlines the government’s key focus areas for online safety. The new document is a part of the Technology Secretary’s drive to ensure tech companies will comply with the Online Safety Act, last year. The regulation requires companies to keep children away from harmful and age-inappropriate content, including pornography, violence, hate, bullying, content supporting suicide, self-harm or eating disorders and others. Since the introduction of the new regulation, however, have been brewing that the Act may not live up to its expectations. Kyle, who was appointed as head of the by the new Labor government in July, is hoping to disprove this. Enforcement of the regulation falls on the UK’s communications regulator Ofcom which has the power to fines tech firms of up to 18 million pounds (US$22.6 million) or 10 percent of their annual global turnover for non-compliance. The Secretary told the media last week that he wants the agency to take a stricter stance toward policing social media companies that have been operating in a “gray area.” “Some of these companies are spending more on R&D than the British state is in total. So don’t tell me you can’t throw some resources together and have a conversation about how things like age verification can be made more robust, and that safety can’t be built in,” Kyle said in an with The Telegraph. Ofcom’s tasks include publishing Codes of Practice and providing guidance on how companies can comply with their duties. The first edition of the Illegal Harms Codes of Practice and the illegal content risk assessment guidance is expected to be made public in December 2024. The Draft Statement of Strategic Priorities places effective age assurance among its key focuses. “Services should take advantage of the technologies that are already available to identify child users and ensure that they cannot access harmful content on their services,” says the draft. “Age assurance should be deployed consistently, effectively and fairly to users from all backgrounds and age ranges.” The document also notes that the government has been supporting the development of third-party solutions for online harm through funding grants, hackathons and innovation challenges. This will help Ofcom outline ambitious recommendations for adopting technologies for online services. “The UK safety tech sector has an important role to play by developing innovative solutions to support platforms, improve online safety outcomes and enable agile regulation,” says the document. The strategy also outlines focuses such as safety by design or preventing online harm, increasing transparency and accountability of online platforms maintaining regulatory agility to keep pace with changing technology and behavior as well as building an inclusive and resilient online society. According to the Technology Secretary, tech firms have been claiming that age verification technology cannot yet provide the highly effective age checks required to enforce restricting social media use for children under the age of 13. However, companies already have the technology to understand people’s personalities which means they can understand a person’s age “with some precision,” he notes. Kyle explained that the government is reluctant to introduce new regulations before it sees the effects of the Online Safety Act. But he also promised the country would not hesitate to introduce more strict solutions to keep children safe online, including legislation similar to Australia. Last week, the country a bill in parliament that aims to ban social media for children under 16. For now, the Online Safety Act is proving effective at least for some tech firms, he adds. Instagram has been rolling out , including verifying users’ age by using Yoti’s facial age estimation or by uploading an identity document. Online gaming platform Roblox also this month that it plans to limit children under 13 from messaging other users. The decision was welcomed by Ofcom. | | | | | | | | | |

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra promised to redefine Thailand's future by embracing its unique strengths, exploring new opportunities, and harnessing technology for the greater good. Speaking at the Bangkok Post Forum 2024, "Redefine Thailand: Road to Prosperity", Ms Paetongtarn said on Thursday that she was confident that she could lead Thailand to a brighter future. "It is a promise to create shared prosperity for all -- our people, communities, and the wider region," the prime minister told the participants at the forum held yesterday evening at Centara Grand at CentralWorld, who included foreign dignitaries, business executives and politicians. For decades, she said, Thailand's growth relied on strategies which focused on mass production and heavy industries. "These approaches brought progress, but in a world undergoing rapid changes, they are no longer enough," she said. "Thailand stands at a crossroads. We must pursue bold, innovative solutions that reflect our unique strengths and set us apart. "Our potential lies not in following the paths of others but in leveraging what makes us truly exceptional -- our strategic location, abundant natural resources, and the creativity of our people. "By embracing our identity and reimagining our future, we can chart a new course towards prosperity and establish Thailand as a leader in an interconnected, dynamic world," the prime minister said. Ms Paetongtarn went on to discuss Thailand's unique strengths, which she said should be utilised to achieve shared prosperity. She said Thailand's first strength is its geographical location because the country is positioned at the heart of Southeast Asia. As a result, Thailand has the opportunity to become a hub for logistics, trade and exchange, connecting countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) with the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. "With plans for high-speed rail, an aviation hub and improved cold-chain logistics networks, we can enhance the movement of goods, people, and ideas across borders," she said. Thailand can also serve as a bridge between East and West, fostering global partnerships for mutual growth and understanding. "In an era of division, we can stand as a beacon of collaboration and shared prosperity,'' she said. Thailand's second strength is its abundance of natural resources and cultural richness, which gives the country unparalleled opportunities. "Thailand has long been known as the 'Kitchen of the World', but now, it is time to elevate this legacy even further," the prime minister said. "With our agricultural resources, culinary expertise, and advanced technologies like precision farming and blockchain for traceability, we can transform traditional farming into a modern industry that prioritises quality, sustainability, and innovation," she stressed. Turning her attention to Thailand's tourism industry, the prime minister said there is an urgent need to help the industry evolve because the country is so much more than just a destination for sightseeing. "With our renowned hospitality and cultural heritage, we are uniquely positioned to offer wellness tourism, from spa therapies to meditation retreats, and become a top destination for digital nomads and retirees," she said. The premier also stressed the importance of technology in transforming the country, urging the country to prepare for a tech-driven future. "This is Thailand's next chapter," she said. "We invite our friends and partners to join us on this journey."
