El portaveu del grup d’ERC a Balaguer, Jordi Ignasi Vidal, diu respecte a les obres del col•legi Mont-Roig, que “és una situació incomprensible, i que el Departament sestà columpian i ens està prenen el pel”.

Era actualitat dera Val d'Aran en aran

Si Mahoma no va a la montaña para darle gasolina al Gobierno, entonces Illa irá a Bruselas para reunirse con Puigdemont.Con el curso político recién arrancado, el Gobierno pone toda la carne en el asador y pisa el acelerador para tratar de llegar al final de esta legislatura marcada por la parálisis y pendiente de los casos de corrupción. Con más de 30 leyes pendientes de aprobación en el Congreso y la sombra del caso Koldo y cía., sólo la cuerda de los socios sostiene a Sánchez. Con Otegi más que entregado a la causa, el precio de Junts cotiza al alza.En este juego de la comba, a Salvador Illa le toca ahora pasar por el aro. Sus destinos se vuelven a cruzar 13 meses después de que Puigdemont se marcara un David Copperfield el día de la investidura del líder del PSC como presidente de la Generalitat e hiciera lo que mejor sabe: volver a huir.Martes 2 de septiembre, 16:15 de la tarde.El encuentro en Bruselas a puerta cerrada llega solo 4 días después de que Illa pidiera la aplicación de la Ley de Amnistía para el ciudadano de Waterloo, en Bélgica desde 2017.Con Puigdemont fugado, con Junts reclamando durante meses una reunión en firme y Santos Cerdán en la cárcel de Soto del Real, el puesto de negociador oficial con el prófugo de la justicia queda vacante. ¿Es la antesala de la foto con Sánchez?Encima de la mesa, la aplicación de la amnistía, ¿Cuándo volverá Puigdemont a España?, una patata caliente que eleva el precio de la factura y que sube como la espuma, tanto casi como el precio de la vivienda en España. Pero también está el gran caballo de batalla de Sánchez y María Jesús Montero: los Presupuestos prorrogados que el Gobierno debería aprobar de aquí a diciembre. Y con Podemos de perfil, Junts tiene mucho que decir.Lo analizamos con la ayuda de Alberto Prieto, subdirector de EL ESPAÑOL e Ignasi Jorro, director de Crónica Global.

Dr. Zhongwei Li is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern California. His lab focuses on kidney organogenesis with translational applications of kidney regeneration and disease modeling. He talks about his work on PSC-derived nephron progenitors and drug discovery applications for polycystic kidney disease.

Tim Brennan, VP of technology policy and government relations at the Professional Services Council, joins me to discuss the latest legislative proposals to help streamline the gargantuan security clearance process. One of the priorities for PSC's members, which includes many cleared contractors, is developing a bigger bench of people with security clearances. "We are fishing in such a small pond right now with folks that are cleared and then have the expertise to do that cleared work that I'm a little nervous about it," Tim told me.

Members of the Professional Services Council are gaining firsthand insights into the evolving needs of federal agencies—from border operations and international defense collaboration to acquisition reform and innovation. These experiences are helping contractors better understand mission priorities and shape smarter solutions for national security and public service. Here to explain how these efforts are informing the future of federal contracting is PSC's Executive Director, Jim Carroll.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kev and James have a catch up, we cover Google's new Pixel 10 advert, the demise of PSC as we know it, and other goodies.

La vuelta del PSC al Govern de Catalunya cumple su primer aniversario. Albert Dalmau, conseller de la Presidencia de la Generalitat de Catalunya analiza este primer año de legislatura en Las Mañanas de RNE. "Cataluña ha abierto una nueva etapa. Hemos conseguido algunos de los objetivos que nos marcábamos". Aunque entre esos objetivos pendientes se encuentra el sistema de financiación singular que se demanda para Cataluña donde el conseller insiste en que se debe adaptar a sus características, pero que no se trata de un privilegio. "Buscamos un sistema de financiación que atienda mejor a las necesidades de Cataluña para acometer cómo prestamos una mejor sanidad y educación". Y rechaza que esta petición se desligue del ámbito nacional. "Nosotros no hacemos política para ir en contra de nadie en el conjunto de España".Durante este primer año el Govern no ha aprobado aún los presupuestos, pero Dalmau asegura que reabrirán el debate. "Vamos a empezar ese diálogo a la vuelta de verano. Cuando uno empieza una negociación lo hace desde posiciones más alejadas". Una de las medidas estrella de Illa es la ampliación del aeropuerto del Prat que todavía no se ha llevado a cabo y presenta la contraria de Esquerra y Comuns. "Nuestra responsabilidad es gobernar y no vamos a renunciar a nuestro programa electoral", sostiene el conseller, que concluía expresando la voluntad del PSC en cuanto a la ley de amnistía. "Queremos que la ley de amnistía se aplique para todo el mundo y cuanto más rápido mejor".Escuchar audio

Top Stories for August 2nd Publish Date: August 2nd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 2nd and Happy Birthday to Carroll O’Connor I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Plus, the Stripers report with JR Ritchie, starter in the MLB All-Star Futures Game and the Braves’ No. 2 prospect All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! ---------------------- Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG ---------------------- STORY 1: State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk  Cobb County Court Clerk Connie Taylor was indicted Thursday, accused of ordering the destruction of government emails and financial records in 2022. The charges? Two counts each of destroying public records and violating her oath of office. The allegations stem from an open records request in October 2022. Taylor allegedly told an employee to delete the documents. Calls to Taylor’s office Thursday? Dodged. One staffer even forwarded a call to a local newspaper. The GBI and Carr’s White Collar and Cyber Crime Unit presented evidence to a grand jury, leading to the indictment. For now, Taylor is presumed innocent, but the case has echoes of a 2019 conviction Carr secured against a former Atlanta press secretary for delaying open records. Transparency, it seems, remains a battle. STORY 2: Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 If you live in Dacula or Buford, you’ve got bragging rights—both suburbs just ranked among the safest in America, according to a new study by SmartAsset. Dacula snagged the No. 5 spot, with Buford right behind at No. 6. Not bad, right? The study looked at everything from violent and property crime rates to traffic deaths, drug overdoses, and even excessive drinking. Dacula’s numbers? Just 0.0017 violent crimes per capita and 0.0062 property crimes. Buford wasn’t far off, but Dacula edged it out. Both cities tied in other categories, like traffic deaths (9.34 per 100,000) and overdose rates. Oh, and housing? Dacula’s median monthly cost is $1,547, while Buford’s is a bit lower at $1,300. Georgia had a few other cities in the rankings—Canton at No. 20, Acworth at 63—but Dacula and Buford are clearly leading the pack. STORY 3: Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Georgia Power is making big moves, asking state regulators to greenlight nearly 10,000 megawatts of new energy projects. That’s a lot of power—enough to keep millions of homes and businesses running, no matter the weather. Most of it—about 8,000 megawatts—comes from projects already approved in 2022, including natural gas plants, solar paired with batteries, and standalone battery storage systems. Another 1,886 megawatts comes from this year’s plans, with similar projects in the mix. But not everyone’s thrilled. Environmental groups argue the new gas turbines double down on fossil fuels instead of pushing harder for renewables. Still, Georgia Power is leaning into battery storage, with projects underway in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd, and Cherokee counties—and more on the way. The PSC will hold hearings this fall, with a final vote in December. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back ---------------------- Break 2: Ingles Markets ---------------------- STRIPERS INTERVIEW STORY 6: GCPS Community-Based Mentoring Program seeking volunteers The Gwinnett County Public Schools Community-Based Mentoring Program is on the hunt for 200 volunteers to step up and mentor students during the 2025-26 school year. Now in its 16th year, the program has already made a huge impact—last year alone, it supported over 2,550 students in grades 4-12. “It was one of our best years yet,” says James Rayford, the program’s director. They reached every high school, middle school, and all 20 clusters, with a 100% graduation rate for two years running. This year? They’re aiming even higher, adding job-shadowing and internships to the mix. The idea is simple but powerful: one caring adult can change a child’s life. Volunteers can mentor one-on-one or in small groups, helping students build confidence, communication skills, and a sense of belonging. STORY 7: Beyond the classroom: GGC interns gain invaluable real-world experience Summer internships aren’t just résumé fluff—they’re where classroom theory meets the messy, unpredictable real world. For Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) students, it’s a chance to figure out what they love (or don’t) and grow in ways they didn’t expect. Take Kimberly Ramirez, a senior marketing major. “I thought marketing was just ads and social media,” she admits. Turns out, it’s strategy, planning, and making decisions that actually matter. Her internship at InTouch Financial Group? A game-changer. She even runs bilingual webinars—Marketing Monday—teaching agents how to market themselves. Then there’s Joceyln Rubio-Camacho, a finance major. Forget the cubicle stereotype. At Majors Management, she’s learned accounting is as much about people as it is spreadsheets. For cinema major Tony Arreaga, interning at Crazy Legs Production in Atlanta has been a whirlwind. One day he’s hauling props in a box truck; the next, he’s designing sets for a Netflix documentary. “It’s a lot like the Marines,” says the 10-year veteran. “Managing people, equipment, locations—it’s all about discipline.” And Emily Zboran? She’s diving into project management at Majors Management, juggling tasks solo while her bosses travel. “I’ve learned to prioritize, organize, and trust myself,” she says. The takeaway? Internships are tough to land, but worth it.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of August 1st Publish Date: August 1st Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, August 1st and Happy Birthday to Coolio I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Commissioners threaten lawsuit to stop Hickory Flat annexation Cherokee High welcomes Class of 2029 students at open house Roswell Street Baptist takes step toward merging with Woodstock church Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on GLP-1 Foods We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: Ingles Markets 7 STORY 1: Commissioners threaten lawsuit to stop Hickory Flat annexation Tensions are running high between Cherokee County and the city of Holly Springs over a proposed annexation in Hickory Flat. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has made it clear: if Holly Springs approves the annexation on Aug. 18, they’re ready to take legal action. The dispute centers on a 20-acre property at Lower Union Hill Road and East Cherokee Drive. Developer Garrard Development, Inc. wants to annex the land into Holly Springs and rezone it for a mix of single-family homes and commercial space. Originally, the plan included 92 townhomes, but those were scrapped after pushback. Residents aren’t thrilled. Over 600 locals have signed a petition opposing the project, citing concerns about traffic, density, and infrastructure strain. County officials argue the annexation violates a 2022 growth boundary agreement meant to guide city-county planning. The Holly Springs Planning Commission narrowly recommended approval, but with conditions—like no drive-thrus and a required privacy fence. Still, the county has flagged procedural issues, including errors in the application and a flawed traffic study. For now, all eyes are on the Holly Springs City Council. Will they approve the annexation or back down? Time will tell. STORY 2: Cherokee High welcomes Class of 2029 students at open house Wednesday was a big day at Cherokee High School. Hundreds of wide-eyed freshmen wandered the halls, clutching schedules and trying to figure out where the heck their classes were. It’s a rite of passage, sure—but this year, it felt different. This is the last group of students to start at the current campus before the school moves to its shiny new location next year. Cherokee High, the oldest high school in the county, has been a fixture on Marietta Highway since 1956. History teacher Erin Forman, a Cherokee alum herself, called it “bittersweet.” Principal Andy Hall, who also happens to be a dad to a freshman this year, said the day was full of smiles—and maybe a few nerves. With 705 freshmen joining the school’s 2,800+ students, Cherokee remains the largest high school in the district. And while the future of the current campus is still up in the air, Assistant Superintendent Rodney Larrotta said a team is working on it. For now, though, the focus is on celebrating the school’s history—and making this final year on the old campus one to remember. STORY 3: Roswell Street Baptist takes step toward merging with Woodstock church Roswell Street Baptist Church, once a thriving hub of faith in Marietta, has voted to merge with First Baptist Church of Woodstock, according to longtime member Joanne Thurston. The decision wasn’t exactly a shock—membership has been shrinking for years, and the church has struggled to find a permanent pastor since 2022. At its peak, Roswell Street was a powerhouse, with 9,200 members in 2014. Now? Weekly attendance hovers around 400. The pandemic didn’t help, but the decline started long before. The church’s 11-acre campus, once bustling, has seen better days. Parts of it have been demolished, and much of the space sits unused. Dan Moran, the transitional pastor, called the merger a partnership, not a takeover. For members like Elizabeth Rhodes, who’s been with the church for over 50 years, the choice is bittersweet. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. Break: HISTORY CHEROKEE STORY 4: Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific merger to create nation's first transcontinental railroad Big news in the world of railroads: Union Pacific and Atlanta-based Norfolk Southern are merging to create the first-ever transcontinental railroad in the U.S. Yep, coast-to-coast. The deal, worth a jaw-dropping $250 billion, still needs federal approval, but if it goes through, it’ll connect 50,000 miles of track across 43 states and link 100 ports. Norfolk Southern’s Mark George echoed the excitement, calling it a “historic moment” for two railroads with deep roots in America’s economy. The combined company will be based in Omaha, but Atlanta isn’t losing its shine—it’ll remain a hub for tech, operations, and innovation. The merger could close by early 2027, pending regulatory approval. STORY 5: Georgia elections agency initiates voter roll scrub, audits PSC runoff count Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is kicking off a four-year process to clean up voter rolls, which could mean nearly 250,000 inactive voters get removed. Here’s the deal: 218,951 voters who haven’t participated since 2019 will get notices. If they don’t respond or vote in the 2026 or 2028 general elections, they’ll be removed by 2029. Meanwhile, Raffensperger is doubling down on election integrity. A hand count of ballots in the recent Democratic PSC runoff confirmed Peter Hubbard’s win, with just a two-vote difference from the machine count—well within the margin of human error. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on GLP-1 Foods Commercial: We’ll have closing comments after this.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of July 18th Publish Date: July 18th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, July 18th and Happy Birthday to John Glen I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Canton to close Brown Park temporarily for tree removal Fossil fuels to remain in Georgia Power energy-supply mix Cherokee Chamber CEO appointed to board for statewide association Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on picky toddlers We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 1: Canton to close Brown Park temporarily for tree removal Canton will remove a declining scarlet oak tree in Brown Park after an arborist confirmed it poses safety risks due to decay and dieback. Located near a children’s play area, the tree cannot be saved through trimming or treatment. Two other large trees will remain for shade. Brown Park will close for the removal from July 20 to July 24, weather permitting. STORY 2: Fossil fuels to remain in Georgia Power energy-supply mix Georgia’s Public Service Commission approved Georgia Power’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan, allowing continued coal and gas use alongside expanded renewable energy projects. The plan addresses a projected need for 8,500 megawatts of additional capacity by 2030, driven by growing demand from data centers. Critics argue the plan relies on uncertain projections, neglects energy conservation commitments, and will raise rates while harming the environment. Although base rates are frozen for three years, costs from storm damage and increased capacity may still impact customers. Environmental groups warn of long-term financial and ecological consequences. STORY 3: Cherokee Chamber CEO appointed to board for statewide association Pam Carnes, President and CEO of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the Georgia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (GACCE) for a one-year term. With over 34 years of involvement in GACCE, including serving as chair in 2005-2006, Carnes credits the organization for significantly shaping her career. The 2025-2026 GACCE Board officially began its term on July 1. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Fred “Bubba” Longgrear, superintendent of Candler County Schools, joins the race alongside Randell E. Trammel, CEO of the Center for Civic Engagement, and Nelva M. Lee, a Locust Grove entrepreneur. Longgrear, the only current public school employee in the race, highlights his 11 years as a superintendent and focuses on safe learning environments, literacy, and career development. Woods has led the state superintendent’s office since 2015. STORY 5: Clean-energy advocate Hubbard poised to win PSC Democratic runoff Clean-energy advocate Peter Hubbard is leading the Democratic runoff for Georgia's Public Service Commission (PSC) District 3 seat, with 58.1% of the vote against former Atlanta City Councilwoman Keisha Sean Waites. If his lead holds, Hubbard will face incumbent Republican Fitz Johnson in November. Hubbard, an advocate for reducing fossil fuel use, aims to address energy costs and environmental health. Waites, a former state representative and councilwoman, has a background in federal government roles. This marks Johnson's first election since his 2021 appointment. The PSC elections, delayed by a lawsuit over voting rights, will also feature a District 2 race between Republican Tim Echols and Democrat Alicia Johnson.

El Gobierno central y el Govern de la Generalitat han sentado este lunes las bases del nuevo modelo de financiación singular para Cataluña, un sistema pactado hace prácticamente un año por el PSC y ERC. En Las mañanas de RNE, Miguel López Prado, consejero de Hacienda y Administración Pública de la Xunta de Galicia, cree que "seguimos con la política de hechos consumados" y considera que todas las comunidades autónomas están haciendo un "diagnóstico muy parecido, independientemente del gobierno de cada una". "Estamos acostumbrados a negociar los asuntos de financiación que nos afectan a todas las comunidades de régimen general en un foro común y no porque nos traigan precocinado esos acuerdos simplemente para que luego se tengan que aprobar por la imposición de la mayoría de la Administración del Estado", setencia.Moncloa defiende que esta es una oportunidad para repensar el sistema y que cualquier territorio podría asumir el nuevo modelo. El conselleiro cree que es una ruptura completa del sistema: "Si todas las comunidades autónomas pasan a gestionar todos los recursos tributarios del Estado, la Administración General del Estado se queda sin capacidad y sin soberanía fiscal, lo cual es inaudito. No ocurre en ningún país de nuestro entorno y por lo tanto renunciaría a esta base para ejercer su función de reequilibrio y de cohesión territorial". Entrevista completa en RNE Audio.Escuchar audio

GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 12th Publish Date: July 12th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, July 12th and Happy Birthday to Christine McVie I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett charges dropped against detained journalist Mario Guevara Georgia Power to update energy forecasts amid uncertain demand Lawmakers conclude listening tour on access to cancer care All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett charges dropped against detained journalist Mario Guevara Local journalist Mario Guevara, known for covering Atlanta's Hispanic community and ICE operations, is no longer facing traffic charges in Gwinnett County. Solicitor General Lisamarie Bristol announced insufficient evidence to prosecute charges of reckless driving, unlawful use of a telecommunication device, and failure to obey signs, as the incidents occurred on private property. However, Guevara still faces federal immigration charges, with ICE questioning his legal status despite his work permit and ongoing efforts toward permanent residency. Guevara claims he is being targeted for his journalism, which has drawn local and national attention. STORY 2: Georgia Power to update energy forecasts amid uncertain demand Georgia Power's 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) faces scrutiny for overestimating energy demand, driven by the rapid growth of data centers. Critics, including environmental groups, argue the projections could leave ratepayers covering billions in stranded assets if demand falls short. While Georgia Power committed to updating forecasts and reporting on large-load projects, many called for stronger demand-side management (DSM) efforts to reduce energy needs. The utility plans to increase DSM spending from $90M to $160M annually, but some remain dissatisfied. The PSC will vote next week, with debates ongoing over coal plant operations and natural gas upgrades. STORY 3: Lawmakers conclude listening tour on access to cancer care Around 66,000 Georgians will be diagnosed with cancer this year, with 19,000 deaths expected, prompting state lawmakers to study ways to reduce these rates. Georgia exceeds national averages for lung, prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer, with rural areas facing significant barriers to care due to rising costs, limited access, and medical industry consolidation. Experts highlighted issues like pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) controlling drug markets and low reimbursement rates for clinics. Lawmakers aim to address drug pricing, access to screenings, and systemic healthcare challenges, with plans to continue studying cancer care access and solutions.

Young allegedly got naked on a boat, argued with a 59-year-old man, punched him, and later threw a deep freezer at him, causing a head injury and knocking him into the lake. Deputies found Young hiding under a bed on his houseboat after he ignored their attempts to contact him. He was charged with six offenses, including aggravated assault, and released on bond on July 6. STORY 5: Robert Michener named Gateway85 CID's interim executive director The Gateway85 Community Improvement District (CID) appointed longtime employee Robert Michener as interim executive director following Emory Morsberger's resignation after nearly 20 years of involvement. Michener, with 17 years at Gateway85, previously served as director of operations, overseeing infrastructure, security, and landscaping projects. Board Chairman Shiv Aggarwal praised Morsberger's contributions and welcomed Michener's leadership during the transition. The CID will continue focusing on economic development, mobility, and quality of life improvements as it searches for a permanent leader. Michener expressed excitement about guiding the district's next phase of growth. Break 3: STORY 6: 'Superman' stars excited to bring DC reboot to theaters Edi Gathegi, Isabela Merced, and Anthony Carrigan star in the new "Superman" reboot, with Gathegi playing Mr. Terrific, Merced as Hawkgirl, and Carrigan debuting as Metamorpho. At a red carpet event in Atlanta, Gathegi contrasted his survival as Mr. Terrific with his infamous death as Darwin in "X-Men: First Class." Merced highlighted the mix of CGI and practical sets, comparing her Hawkgirl role to her experience in "Dora the Explorer." Carrigan, excited to bring fan-favorite Metamorpho to life, praised the detailed makeup used instead of CGI. STORY 7: Gwinnett fire investigators say arsonist tried to burn down Lawrenceville home Gwinnett County fire officials are investigating a suspected arson at a Lawrenceville home on Clairidge Lane on June 27. Firefighters responded to a fire alarm and smoke report, discovering an incendiary device behind the home. The fire was out by the time they arrived, and no injuries were reported. Officials are seeking public help to identify the suspect, with a potential reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Tips can be directed to the Gwinnett Fire Investigations Section or the Georgia Arson Control Hotline.

Their first book, *Hope the Butterfly Wants to Go*, focuses on core vocabulary, while their upcoming release, *Hank the Slug Wants to Eat* (out July 14), introduces adjectives and encourages picky eaters. The books include interactive elements to engage young readers. Inspired by their clinical work, the authors aim to empower children with language skills, emphasizing the transformative power of words. STORY 2: PSC approves Georgia Power rate freeze Georgia Power will freeze customer rates for three years under a plan approved by state regulators, delaying base rate increases until 2028. However, the utility can recover storm damage costs, sparking criticism from environmental groups who argue it shifts financial burdens to customers. The plan sets a maximum Return on Equity at 11.9%, despite calls to lower it. Critics also objected to the lack of public hearings, citing transparency concerns. Georgia Power plans to meet growing energy demands, including for data centers, by continuing fossil fuel reliance, with a related vote on generating capacity set for July 15. STORY 3: How to be safe in the water this summer As summer heats up, officials urge water safety, emphasizing life jackets as essential. Chris Purvis of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers highlights that 89% of over 4,000 drowning fatalities since 1998 involved individuals not wearing life jackets, with men aged 18-54 most at risk. The Corps’ “Life Jackets Worn…Nobody Mourns” program targets this demographic. Purvis warns drowning is often silent and quick, debunking movie myths of splashing. Parents are advised against using non-Coast Guard-approved floaties for kids, recommending safer alternatives like Puddle Jumpers.

In this short podcast episode, Bryan goes through the process of testing and replacing a run capacitor.  Run capacitors provide continuous phase-shifted current to the start winding, allowing the motor to run in the right direction and with the appropriate amount of torque. These capacitors are needed in most of the single-phase PSC motors we work with. Run capacitors are in the circuit all the time and are connected in series with the start winding (compared to start capacitors, which need to be taken out of the circuit after startup). They don't actually "boost" voltage. The bigger the capacitor, the more current can move in and out of the start winding. Run capacitors are made of foil and oil (and the manufacturing quality usually correlates to the capacitor's lifespan), and they usually fail due to overvoltage or overheating. Capacitors may also be replaced with one of a higher voltage rating but not a lower one. Before you test a capacitor, perform a visual inspection. Bloated tops and oil leakage are signs of failure. You'll also want to measure the microfarads and make sure it's within range. An under load test occurs while the system is running (and should NOT be done on blower capacitors for safety reasons). Bench testing happens while the system is off and the capacitor is disconnected and discharged. We have calculators for testing on our app. To test under load, measure the amperage on the start wire and multiply it by 2652. Then, divide that number by the voltage to find the capacitance in microfarads. If the capacitance is over 10% low, replace the capacitor. When replacing a capacitor, make sure the system is off, the capacitor is discharged, and that you tighten the strap and wire it up correctly. It's also a good idea to bench test the new capacitor.   "Capacitor Testing and Replacement Procedure" tech tip: https://www.hvacrschool.com/capacitor-testing-and-replacement-procedure/  "What Is Up With Blower Amps & Watts w/ Steve Rogers" podcast: https://www.hvacrschool.com/podcasts/what-is-up-with-blower-amps-watts-w-steve-rogers/  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
