Many are already struggling to access essential supplies such as food and water, because the principal means of transportation in the region is waterways, and river levels are historically low. Droughts also impact fishing, a means of subsistence for many riverside communities. Amazonas state declared an environmental emergency two weeks ago in response to the prolonged drought and launched a response plan valued at $20 million. Authorities will also distribute food and water supplies as well as personal hygiene kits, the state’s civil defense agency said in a statement. Gov. Wilson Lima was in Brazil’s capital, Brasilia, on Tuesday to meet with representatives of the federal government. Lima spoke with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to discuss the drought. The different levels of government will “coordinate measures in support of the people living in the affected municipalities,” Lima said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday. Fifteen municipalities were in a state of emergency on Tuesday, while 40 others were on a state of alert, the civil defense authority said. According to the port of Manaus, which monitors water levels, the river stood at 16.7 meters (55 feet) on Tuesday, around six meters (20 feet) below the same day last year. The lowest level of water was recorded on Oct. 24, 2010, when the river dropped to 13.6 meters (about 45 feet). The drought is forecast to last longer and be more intense because of El Niño climate phenomenon, which inhibits the formation of rain clouds, the civil defense authority said. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-approves-bill-striking-down-bidens-crackdown-hunting-archery-overwhelmingly-bipartisan-vote House approves bill striking down Biden's crackdown on hunting and archery in overwhelmingly bipartisan vote The House voted late Tuesday evening in favor of legislation striking down the Biden administration's decision to block federal funding for school shooting sports courses. In a 424-1 vote, the House approved the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act with 216 Republicans and 208 Democrats voting in favor, and just one lawmaker, Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, voting against. Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., introduced the bill on Aug. 1, days after a Fox News Digital report in late July revealed the Department of Education was withholding funds for school hunting and archery courses. "Hunters and fishers are the best conservationists," Green told Fox News Digital after the vote Tuesday. "Hunting, whether it be with a firearm or bow, is one of the most effective ways to control wildlife populations, protect our beautiful lands, and connect with nature. My Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act is critical for our children." He added in a separate statement that American students should be encouraged to "participate in enriching athletic activities that foster an appreciation for nature and the ability to focus on a goal." According to Green, in his state alone, the Biden administration's funding decision impacts an estimated 50,000 students. Fox News Digital reported in July that the Education Department shared federal guidance to hunting education groups highlighting that hunting and archery programs in schools would be stripped of funding. The guidance explained that the administration interpreted the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) to mean such programs can no longer receive taxpayer funds. In the guidance, obtained first by Fox News Digital, senior agency official Sarah Martinez wrote that archery, hunter education and wilderness safety courses use weapons that are "technically dangerous weapons" and therefore "may not be funded under" the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which is the primary source of federal aid for elementary and secondary education across the country. According to advocates, many schools that offer such courses have already nixed them from curriculums due to the federal guidance. "The Department of Education and Secretary Cardona are blatantly misconstruing the law to withhold funding from schools that choose to teach beneficial courses like hunter safety and archery," Lawrence Keane, the National Shooting Sports Foundation's senior vice president, told Fox News Digital in July. "Congress must hold Secretary Cardona and the department accountable for violating the letter and spirit of the law to unilaterally deny America’s students access to these valuable programs as part of the Administration’s continued attacks on the Second Amendment," Keane added. Tommy Floyd, the president of the National Archery in the Schools Program, said his organization boasts roughly 1.3 million students from nearly 9,000 schools across 49 states who are enrolled in archery courses. However, the Department of Education has doubled down on its interpretation of the BSCA, saying it would only reverse course if legislation was passed explicitly revising the 2022 law to allow funding for shooting sport programs in schools. The law included an amendment to a subsection in the ESEA listing that prohibited uses for federal school funding. That amendment prohibits ESEA funds from helping provide any person with a dangerous weapon or to provide "training in the use of a dangerous weapon," but, according to the BSCA's sponsors, was included to prevent ESEA funding for school resource officer training. https://www.foxnews.com/us/philadelphia-swarmed-alleged-juvenile-looters-targeting-apple-store-lululemon-footlocker-others Philadelphia swarmed by alleged juvenile looters targeting the Apple Store, Lululemon, Footlocker and others Philadelphia police responded to popular retailers like the Apple Store, Lululemon and Footlocker after they were allegedly being ravaged by swarms of looters taking over the City of Brotherly Love Tuesday evening. At about 8 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to reports of large crowds of juveniles allegedly looting stores in the Center City business corridor of the 9th District. "In a proactive measure, officers from the 9th District stopped a group of males dressed in black attire and wearing masks at the intersection of 17th and Chestnut Streets," a police spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital. As of midnight on Wednesday, police confirmed between 15 and 20 people were arrested during the looting and at least two firearms were recovered. As officers were speaking with these individuals, they began to receive reports of looting at the Foot Locker on Chestnut Street. Responding officers arrived at the Foot Locker and discovered the store had been ransacked in a "coordinated attack," according to the statement. A number of juveniles then fled the scene and at least one adult was arrested. Subsequent incidents of looting were reported in quick succession. Officers responded to a report of looting at the Lululemon on Walnut Street, where multiple individuals were apprehended. A short time later, looting was reported at the Apple Store on Walnut Street. No arrests were made in connection with this incident. Phones and tablets were taken from the store, but several stolen items have since been recovered. Videos posted to X, showed retail stores like Lululemon, the Apple Store and Footlocker ravaged by crowds of looters. FOX 29's Steve Keeley obtained video of a ransacked Apple Store with iPhones and iPads scattered across the display tables. Keeley wrote on X that many of the stolen Apple products were left behind due to the device's comprehensive anti-theft technology. A police officer told local outlet WCAU-TV that more than 100 juveniles took items from the Lululemon store. No injuries were immediately reported, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Police also responded to several other reports of property damage and thefts throughout the city. "The Philadelphia Police Department is committed to maintaining public safety and order," police said in the statement Wednesday morning. "We are actively investigating these incidents and working diligently to identify and apprehend those responsible for these unlawful acts. We appreciate the cooperation of our community and urge anyone with information related to these incidents to come forward and assist with the ongoing investigations." The statement continued: "We would like to thank our dedicated officers who swiftly responded to these incidents, as well as our community members who continue to support law enforcement efforts to keep Philadelphia safe." The looting came following a Philadelphia judge dismissed charges against former police officer Mark Dial in the shooting death of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry. Interim Commissioner John Stanford said in a press conference that the thieves were not part of the peaceful protest against the judge's decision. "This had nothing to do with the protests," Stanford said. "What we had tonight was a bunch of criminal opportunists take advantage of a situation to make an attempt to destroy our city." The news comes as Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw resigned in the beginning of September. Crime data from the Philadelphia Police Department shows there has been a 21% drop in homicides this year to date compared to the same day in 2021, when the city recorded 562 homicides throughout the year. But prior to Outlaw leading the department, the data shows Philadelphia annually recorded between 246 to 391 homicides each year between 2007 and 2019. In 2020, when she took over, there were 499 homicides, followed by 562 in 2021 and 516 in 2022. Meanwhile in California…. In August, a Nordstrom store was ransacked by a "flash mob" of more than 30 people in a large smash-and-grab. The thieves made out with nearly $100,000 worth of designer handbags and clothes. Similarly to Philadelphia, video captured shows a group of 30 to 50 people wearing sweatshirts with hoods over their heads. The suspects are seen inside the department store as they rush to the front entrance with bags in hand, scooping up whatever merchandise they can while tripping on racks to which some items were still attached. Police estimate the stolen merchandise to be worth between $60,000 and $100,000. https://www.dailyfetched.com/wuhan-institute-of-virology-warns-the-world-prepare-for-another-covid-19-pandemic/ Wuhan Institute of Virology Warns the World: Prepare for Another COVID-19 Pandemic As many as 20 coronavirus species are likely to cause a new outbreak, according to a study from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), a stark warning to prepare for another COVID-19 pandemic. In a study in Emerging Microbes & Infections in July, the WIV has been making headlines, as many social media users have begun coming to their own conclusions online. The Wuhan scientists documented their study of 40 coronavirus species, identifying 20 as “high risk … including 6 of which jumped to human, 3 with evidence of spillover but not to human and 11 without evidence of spillover yet.” “It is almost certain that there will be future disease emergence, and it is highly likely a CoV [coronavirus] disease again,” the study said. “Thus, the early preparation for the animal CoVs with risk of spillover is important for future disease preparedness, regarding the likely animal origin of SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.” SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is a disease that caused a deadly outbreak in China over 20 years ago. MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) is a coronavirus disease first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012. The study’s auhtors included Shi Zhengli, a Chinese coronavirus expert known as “batwoman” for her academic studies on the coronavirus. She became a figure of international focus during the coronavirus pandemic. Shi stopped public appearances in early 2020 but reemerged to defend the Chinese government from claims that the coronavirus came from a lab in Wuhan.

Ready to explore the urban jungle of San Francisco in its raw, unfiltered form? Get set as we journey through the city's crumbling infrastructure, moving from the shuttered doors of CVS at 601 Mission Street to the deserted Nordstrom at Union Square. We break down the local market dynamics, unpacking the city's socio-economic issues and revealing how they're influencing businesses. This is a tough look at a city in transition, facing rising crime, homelessness, and a police force recruitment crisis. We'll also be taking a deep dive into the implications of the store's closure and its proximity to the Tenderloin district. As we switch coasts, we step into the tumultuous city of Portland, currently grappling with the '100 Nights of Antifa' protests, a police shortage, and blatant drug use on the streets. Hear firsthand the challenges faced by citizens, business owners, and the beleaguered police force. Our journey continues to Seattle, where we discuss an unusual incident involving a tree-dragging individual and the city's response. Like a detective piecing together a puzzle, we'll thread all these stories together, circling back to the CVS closure and examining the role of theft and public safety in such decisions. This is not an episode for the faint-hearted, but for those eager to understand the gritty realities of urban America.Support the show

Another Black female mayor is facing her own massive challenge in the statewide unhoused crisis; embattled San Francisco mayor London Breed, promised to clean up San Francisco, but she does face some progressive challenges. Former socialist district attorney Chesa Boudin was antithetical to Breed's tough on crime rhetoric, so before he could complete his first term in office he was ousted in a recall election allowing Breed's appointee Brooke Jenkins to come in and continue a tough on crime agenda.     Boudin was elected after the rise of Bernie Sanders where social democracy gained much popularity. After the election of Trump, many Americans felt, to fight an imagined fascist in the White House, we simply needed to vote for progressives and everything would be fixed. An overly simplistic technocratic strategy that begins and ends with putting the right people in positions of power. Politics as consumerism, buy progressive, and they alone will fix social ills.     Peak COVID's shelter in place orders, coupled with a 24/7 newscycle, mainstream and independent laser focused on the racism and ineptitude of then president Trump, a barrage of public police killings of unarmed Black citizens and vigilante violence also aimed at people of color and it culminates with the televised police murder of George Floyd and the country erupts.    The solution to the racial reckoning was simple as a line item on a spreadsheet. Just allocate funds for law enforcement elsewhere. The amount of money spent on police was causing all this senseless violence, so move those funds over where they can be better suited and we'll not only put an end to extra judicial police killings, but we'll end poverty, crime, etc. I know many of you listening have heard this before, but we can't even begin to discuss a city like San Francisco without putting into context the feeling of the nation, because it can be that feeling that shapes policy. We need to understand how public opinion can be manipulated and shaped and changed overnight.     In San Francisco, demands were made to defund the police, and maybe the city's biggest ally to actually hold law enforcement accountable, then district attorney Chesa Boudin was ousted. The progressive love affair was over in SF. Property crime was on the rise and people didn't care about aversion programs and high incarceration rates anymore. That's abstract thinking, they wanted solutions NOW! Chesa wasn't the only leftist/socialist in city government, there were others, and London Breed and her new D.A. went on the attack to call them out as a hindrance to law and order in San Francisco as they were idealists who weren't from the city, and didn't have an appreciation for the people of SF. Breed and Jenkins are Black women, it was easy for them to use that and call out the white progressives in office for not understanding the plight of Black and Brown citizens facing rising post peak COVID crime and the daily blight of the large homeless encampments affecting small business owned by many people of color throughout the city.    Just like that, the news went from following any case of police misconduct to showing an endless stream of smash and grab robberies. Some in high end downtown shopping districts. Nordstrom, the long-time staple of the Westfield Mall in downtown SF, left. Their rationale  for leaving for many in SF was simple, it was all the robberies. People were scared to go to SF for fear of having their car broke into, or being robbed leaving a store.   On top of all of this, any attempt at building any sort of solution for housing the homeless population was running into issues with people in the community. As I've said many times on this show, we can all talk crap about “NIMBYs” but who wants to have an encampment next to their child's school? A tiny home community in your community? A shelter in the heart of your neighborhood?    Breed vowed to clean up SF and she, like many mayors in the country facing similar challenges, was going to do large sweeps of the larger encampments that were literally blocking sidewalks. Some of these encampments were massive, and yes, sometimes violent. Open air drug markets and public drug use, and many cases in SF, deaths. In the 80s and 90s crack was the big bad and it had to be eliminated and the people that sold it were compared to demons praying on the innocent in their community. The same can be said for opioids in 2023. To date, there have been 473 deaths from opioids in SF and the year isn't even over. The big bad for Breed is opioids and fentanyl, so the crackdown has begun.    But sweeping the encampments has hit a snag for Breed as homeless people and their advocates have filed suit against the city for not holding to their own laws about how to handle the sweeps. A federal judge has put a halt on the sweeps, because if you're going to sweep an encampment, the city has to provide housing solutions for the people caught up in the sweep. According to the SF Chronicle, of the 165 days SF cleared a site, only about 18% of those days did the city actually have beds for everyone caught up. Advocates and homeless citizens claim law enforcement threw away IDs, important documents and records, you know pertinent documents needed to obtain housing. So now the city and advocates are in a fight. The city feels they can't do what they need to do to reach people in need without clearing an encampment, and the advocates say the sweeps are criminalizing poverty. The one thing both sides seem to mildly agree on is that people shouldn't have to sleep on the streets. Crue, what do you say about what's going on in SF? About TIR Thank you for supporting the show!

For this episode Pete's taking the hot seat and fielding questions from The Nordy Pod editor, Nathan Shields, and co-producer, Kent Worthington. They discuss Pete's trajectory from stock boy to president, the likelihood of career detours, and important lessons in humility, authenticity, loyalty and hard work passed down directly from his father, Bruce Nordstrom. Pete also talks about the benefits of starting The Nordy Pod and how it's aided in expanding his curiosity in ways that help him to be a more effective leader. You'll also hear an incredible service story from Kent, who has held many different jobs within the company, which exemplifies some of the core values that make Nordstrom a lasting business. So much so, that Pete is confident that the integrity of the brand will endure long after he hands off the reins to the next generation of leaders. Reluctant to take credit for his own influence, Pete expresses great pride in every Nordstrom associate across the company that continually strives to exceed customer expectations day in and day out.

Alyssa and David don't live together, but they've been talking about moving in together. Alyssa needs to get some answers before that.

Does the name Vitruvi sound familiar? Founded by Sara Panton, CEO, along with her brother, the brand is one of the largest aromatherapy companies offering luxury essential oil blends and diffusers. Its products are in more than 300 stores in Canada, the United States and Australia, and it's the first essential oil brand to be stocked by retail giants Nordstrom and Sephora. Sara's background in health, her travels around the world, and her fascination for how traditional botanicals can be used in modern ways were the foundation for what has become the number-one aromatherapy brand in the country. Vitruvi was launched in Vancouver while Sara was still attending med school with nothing more than a website about essential oils, which grew into a thriving business amidst the expanding wellness segment. Sara's passion is helping women transform the simple moments of their days into experiences that elevate their well-being. Her hope is always the same: to help women take care of themselves so they can take on the world, something she knows a thing or two about!This season of our podcast is brought to you by TD Canada Women in Enterprise.

If you follow professional basketball, chances are you've heard a booming broadcast by the incredible Kevin Calabro. And if you've been so lucky, then you know what a thrill ride it is listening to his exhilarating play-by-play. By his own admission, Kevin wants listeners to know that he's having fun on the mic, because that's what sport is all about! As a kid he remembers gaining an appreciation for radio, listening to famous baseball announcers with big personalities like Jack Buck and Harry Caray, and began exploring his own vocal chops as early as high school. Continuing through college and beyond, Kevin's reliability as a play-by-play announcer strengthened enormously. After a year of calling minor league hockey and a bit of Purdue University basketball, he was eventually given the opportunity to move up to the big leagues. His first time announcing for NBA games would be in 1983 for the Kansas City Kings, but it's not until 1987 that Kevin would join a team that is very near and dear to my heart, the Seattle SuperSonics. With 20 years of his voice guiding us play by play through victory and heartbreak, Kevin has become my absolute favorite way to listen to basketball. We'll discuss the eventual end of his time with the Sonics, (which I myself, having been part owner of the SuperSonics at the time, regrettably shared some part in) but since then Kevin's had nothing short of an incredible career. Having called NBA games for several national broadcasting networks like ESPN Radio, TNT, TBS and NBA TV, as well as announcing for the Seattle Sounders soccer team and now the Portland Trail Blazers, he's even lent his voice to several NBA video games! I am super lucky to have had the opportunity to know Kevin for many years, and I'm sure you're going to love diving deeper into his story. Thanks for tuning in to episode 42. We hope you enjoy it!
