Podcasts about since august

Every once in a while a film comes along that simply transports you with its sheer brilliance — the brilliance of the sea shining on a bright, crisp Gloucester morning  CODA is one such film that approaches perfection. CODA (Children Of Deaf Adults) is many things at once, a coming of age story of a child finding her way into adulthood and independence; a rollicking chronicle of a loving hard working family; a damn funny movie that will in turn, touch, move, inspire and awe you. The success of a film like this hinges not so much on the story (it is a tale we have seen often), but on the casting of these wonderful roles who inhabit a world most of us have never experienced.  Ruby is the only hearing member of her family where her dad Frank, her mom  Jackie and her older brother Leo are all deaf. Those three roles are played by actors who are deaf in real life — which may seem like obvious casting choices, but in reality, actors who are deaf rarely get a chance to play roles this beautifully drawn. They rarely get to show off their astonishingly talent. But in this film, Troy Kotsur (who Lisa is starting a campaign right now for an Academy Award for this performance), Marlee Matlin and Daniel Durant all get a chance to shine brightly. The precocious Ruby is portrayed in a tour-de-force by Emilia Jones. As final treat, look out for the spellbinding performance of Eugenio Derbez as Bernardo Villalobos, Ruby's music teacher.  In lesser hands, this film could easily have wallowed in mediocre cliche, but under the assured direction of Sian Heder and with that stellar cast, what shouldn't work does. What should be hackneyed, soars and what could easily be mawkish, will move you to tears. Joining us to give a true perspective on the portrayal of deaf characters in this film, is the amazing actress/writer/producer Antoinette Abbamonte who is also part of the deaf acting community in Hollywood. And a special shout out goes to our ASL interpreter Nicole Pancino who joined us for Antoinette's interview.   We could go ON for hours about this exquisite film .. in fact we almost do !  So stop reading this and listen in to our podcast right now. If you are reading this and are deaf or hard of hearing please find a complete transcript of this interview on our website  here.  #CODA film #AntoinetteAbbamonte #EmiliaJones #TroyKotsur, #MarleeMatlin #DanielDurant #EugenioDerbez #SianHeder #OscarForTroy #CODA film #Antoinette Abbomonte #EmiliaJones #TroyKotsur, #MarleeMatlin #DanielDurant #Eugenio Derbez #SianHeder  ******************  Episode Transcript  ******************** [Scene from the film ‘CODA'] FADE IN: INT.

Episode 334:  Since August 2020 the S&P 500 has climbed a COVID wall of worry consistently putting in new record highs.  I expect that to continue, with temporary bouts of turbulence, along with limited upside potential as we close out 2021.  However, I think vast amounts of opportunity still exist in the more value oriented, cyclical and ReOpening favored stocks that have taken a dip on fears of COVID Variants.  In this episode I'll also discuss the difference between investing and speculation. ------------------------------------------------------

Since August 2020, the mutual aid group Bicycle Meals has been delivering bags of sandwiches, fruit, snacks, masks, and hand sanitizer to unhoused residents of Koreatown. But now volunteers are back to work as the economy reopens, and they can't donate so much time preparing meals and pedaling them to those in need. Also, the venture is largely self-funded, and contributions from local businesses aren't constant. So how will the organization pivot post-pandemic?

In today's Buzzcast, we dive into a firsthand account from a new appraiser of the Appraiser Diversity Initiative (ADI) by Fannie Mae and the challenges facing trainee appraisers today. Today we have Marcus Knight, a recently licensed appraiser that completed this specific program giving a deeper look with Joan Trice, Founder of Allterra Group, LLC. They delve into what exactly he faced during the program and how diversity in the appraisal industry is necessary for its continual growth. In addition to sitting down with us, Marcus also wrote an article for us below about his journey in this industry.   When I walked into the Chicago Urban League in November 2020, I would have never thought I would be where I am now. When I heard about the Appraisal field, I was instantly intrigued and wanted to know more. Up until this point, I hadn't involved myself much in Real Estate and my only thought about it surrounded home ownership. I couldn't have imagined that more than a year from now I'd be an Appraiser Trainee. Where I am now is due entirely to the Appraisal Diversity Initiative (ADI) sponsored by Fannie Mae and the National Urban League. I went to a meeting earlier in the day at the Chicago Urban League, and as I was leaving, I happened to walk past the ADI event as it started and thought to myself, “why not attend?” During the event, Black Appraisers spoke about their experiences in the field, how it changed their lives, and its importance to community development. I wanted to know more, so I learned about the ADI scholarship, I applied, and in a few weeks, I was notified I was selected as an awardee. This scholarship allowed me to take all the basic courses and proctored tests necessary to be licensed as a trainee. It came at the right time as for some time I had been contemplating a career change. It all felt serendipitous. I was awarded this scholarship in December 2019, but didn't really start courses until February 2020 as my job at the moment was very demanding. The courses were quite challenging because I didn't have any prior Real Estate experience. It was like reading a foreign language for the first time (in truth, it still feels somewhat like that now). I had to take my time to digest the content and try to connect it to the real world, all without expert guidance. Appraisal Principals wasn't so bad, but the course on Appraisal Procedures was very challenging. Even though I felt alone and inadequate at times, I dedicated myself to understanding the content to the best of my abilities. I took my time completing the introductory courses because I wanted to make sure if I had an opportunity to speak to a potential Supervisor, I would speak confidently. After 90 days, I finished my courses and took my state proctored exams two months later. By August, I had successfully passed all three introductory courses and passed all three exams. By November 2020, I had successfully completed the mandatory Supervisor/Trainee courses and I applied for licensure in December. By January 2021, I was licensed as an Appraiser Trainee in Illinois. Since August 2020, I've had the fortune of interacting with some brilliant appraisers who took the time out to share insights developed through their many years of work. Having the opportunity to review appraisal reports and discuss how appraisers might have approached their analysis provided a real-world context that, up until that point, hadn't been available. At this point, I began to realize the level of complexity of appraisal work and why mentorship was so important. Examining a completed report either in URAR or narrative format lead to many questions. As I eventually learned, an appraisal report is a finely crafted piece of work that is both an artform and a science. The phrase “it depends” in regards to why an appraiser made a certain decision still rings in my head to this day. For 8 months, I was provided with the space to ask questions about appraisal work and was challenged to research and find different appraisals for both exposure and competence. As I reflect, I realize that any appraiser trainee should seek out mentorship separate from a supervisory relationship. Speaking to someone who is taking time out to drop gems with no strings attached helps to accelerate the learning curve. I'm very appreciative of those who decided to give their time to me who asked nothing of me. Thanks to ADI, I found a supervisor here in Chicago who was willing to take me under his wing. He is a residential appraiser who has been practicing since around the ‘08 market crash, so he has a wealth of experience I am just clambering to tap into. I have a few inspections under my belt, and I have to say, they are challenging as I am forced to take all of the academic knowledge I've learned and apply it within a real world setting with a real time constraint (the duration of the inspection). Remembering key steps like making sure to taking clear pictures, getting accurate measurements, and scanning the environment for any important details, is shaping up to be quite the feat at the moment. My saving grace is I am working with a patient and understanding supervisor who doesn't mind me asking a million questions throughout the day. It's a lot to process, but I've learned to take it day by day and not to beat myself up when I leave my camera in the car or realize later in the day, I took a bad comp picture and I have to go back out and take it again. This is just the beginning of my journey, so I quickly learned the importance of pacing myself and self-care. My short-term goal is to become a Certified Residential Appraiser and my long-term goal is to become a General Appraiser. I heard others say you have to pick early which career path to take, but my strategy is too early on in my residential appraisal career to identify a specialty for myself as I pursue General Certification. I say to anyone who is interested in pursuing appraisal as a career to understand that it's a lifestyle. You must be prepared to immerse yourself in this field to become competent. I'm incredibly excited for what the future has in store for me. I slowly feel more and more like a bona fide appraiser every day.   Have any comments or would you like to submit content of your own?

The state of California continues recovery efforts from a historic wildfire season which included some of the largest fires (in acreage burned) in state —second only to the COVID-19 pandemic for worst disasters of the year. By the end of December, over 9,000 fires burned nearly 4.4 million acres, or about 4% of the state’s approximate 100 million acres of land. The August Complex Fire has been classified as the first “gigafire”- burning over 1 million acres across seven counties. It was one of several large-scale fires and ranked as the Top 5 of the 6 largest fires in California’s recorded wildfire history.     Topics Covered: The August Complex Fire has been classified as the first “gigafire”- burning over 1 million acres across seven counties. It was one of several large-scale fires and ranked as the Top 5 of the 6 largest fires in California’s recorded wildfire history. Since August of last year, California has received 19 fire management assistance grants approved for 25 counties. The year’s season was forecasted early in 2020 to be severe after an extremely dry January and February, which set the stage for a catastrophic season when extreme heat and high winds fueled hundreds of fires across the state in August and September. Due to the nature of ongoing events that California has faced over the last several years, the state continues to evolve around the phases of emergency from Recovery to Preparedness to Mitigation back to Response and Recovery The wildfires may be over, but now California is looking ahead to the next threats. The large burn scars could produce dangerous mud slides if heavy rains come through the rainy season. The state has been working closely with cities and counties throughout our Watershed Task Force to map out the possible threats and areas of risk where mudflows could be likely. Additional Information: To learn more on preparing for wildfires and how the state responds to these events, visit the Cal Fire website.

Sky Amish goes to school at a community classroom at the Genesee Valley Regional Market in Henrietta. Since August, Amish, who is 18, and most of the other 100-plus students enrolled at Holy Childhood have been attending in-person classes just two days a week, many of them at the school's main campus on Groton Parkway in Henrietta. The other three days, they were learning remotely. Amish is not a fan of getting virtual lessons on a laptop. "Kinda tricky ... it's kinda crazy," he said. His classmate, Corynn Dunton, also 18, agrees. They're both excited about a new hybrid plan that started this week: four days a week in the classroom and one day at home. "I'm ready for it 'cause I don't like doing school online at home," Dunton said. School program director Dave Halpern said a lot of thought went into the decision and it seemed like the right time for the transition to mostly in-person learning. "Because the January surge was ending and the vaccines were coming out," he said. "A number

It's the ChooseFI Christmas Edition where we hear end-of-year wins direct from our community members. During this live event, listeners shared the actions they've taken during the past year that have helped them to spend less, earn more, and enjoy the journey. This year, the year-end-win episode took place in a three hour live Facebook and YouTube event featuring around 20 members of the community. Despite how tough this year has been, many people were able to implement some of the strategies and tactics discussed on the show into practice and find more margin in their lives. The first featured win comes from Valerie. She purchased a condo a couple of years ago and has been working on renovating it. While not a financial win, Valerie says putting it behind her is her biggest personal win. Finally closing out the permits allowed her to refinance her mortgage, saving her $466 a month. She was also able to pay off her credit card renovation debt, saving her an additional $600 a month. In total, Valerie paid off $34,000 of debt. Besides the debt, Valerie also maxed out contributions to her HSA and because she now has an additional $1,000 a month, she increased her 401k contributions from 8% to 11%. Valerie opened her first taxable investment account and rebalanced her portfolio, while her side hustles earned her $4,000, mostly from participating in focus groups. Due to COVID, Valerie wasn't spending as much money and it allowed her to focus on things she might not have had the time to do and she's now one-third of the way to her FI number and hoping to retire by 2030. Brad comments that cutting $1,000 in monthly expenses is $300,000 less Valerie needs in retirement when using the 4% rule. Valerie has been sharing her copy of ChooseFI: Your Blueprint to Financial Independence with family members. The second end-0f-year-win comes from Michelle who learned about ChooseFI after Googling financial independence while attending a conference. To convert her husband, she had him read ChooseFI's book and then scheduled a date night to discuss it. Michelle‘s husband, Greg, never thought he could retire early. They didn't have a lot of debt but bought into the concept of getting 1% better and things began to snowball. During the last year, Michelle and Greg joined their finances, maxed out their 401k, sold a rental home, bought a short-term rental, and broke up with their financial advisor. They opened a Vanguard account and moved their accounts over after discovering their financial advisor was making a lot more in fees than the $50 per month to come up with an investment plan. Because Michelle and Greg met later in life, they had maintained separate accounts. After joining finances and being transparent, they found making small 1% better changes each week didn't hurt at all. All of the extra money that came in from COVID refunds or bonuses went toward paying off the debt from new windows. They also started travel hacking. Michelle says when breaking up with your finical advisor, chances are they won't understand FI, so state that it's you not them and feel free to contact her for help breaking up with your advisor. Up next is Chris, who has been a member of the FI community for about three years. He got started by reading The Simple Path to Wealth and Your Money or Your Life. For Chris, the pandemic has been an opportunity allowing him to save $15,000. He's been able to max out his HSA and Simple IRA. Chris also has two adult children to who he has introduced the concept of FI, as well as his nieces and nephews who have been very receptive to the information Chris has provided. He says to reach out and if they are interested they will let you know. One of the actions Chris took this year was to switch to Policygenius, which saved him 50% on policy premiums. The next end-of-year-win comes from Lauren. Lauren found ChooseFI in late-August and is on Episode 61R. Lauren got a side gig in August being a census worker which enabled her to pay off all $7,000 she had in consumer debt. With all of the premium pay she earned, it ended up being $1,300 a week. She says she wouldn't have taken on the side hustle if it wasn't for the podcast. After learning about 403b's, she switched from stocks and bonds to VTSAX. She and her husband also opened up a joint VTSAX account and reduced all of their monthly recurring bills to as low as they could possibly be. She's currently looking for hacks for satellite service. In July, they moved into a home that they are caretakers for, which is an upgrade that eliminated $1,100 in rent. They found the caretaker job through her mother but says other caretaker or home sitting positions can be found online. Since August, Lauren has earned or save roughly $9,000 since finding ChooseFI and taking action. They are now trying to pump as much money as possible into retirement accounts. When an old job asked her to come back to work for them, she opted to focus on what things were important, like the baby she and her husband are expecting and how they can raise it frugally.

Have you had your G-BOMBS today? If you haven’t, you will want to after the class. Since August 2015, world renowned, New York Times bestselling author, Joel Fuhrman, MD has been sharing evidence-based research about healing our bodies with a Nutritarian lifestyle. Last month, Dr. Fuhrman shared his favorite recipes for the holidays. On this day, he will share his New Year’s “must haves.” He will also answer more of your questions!

Marcy has had Joe* on her mind since she went to the prom with him during her senior year of high school. “He kept coming up in my, in my brain, like, well, I wonder whatever happened to him,” Marcy told me. “It seems like he's always just kind of been with me.”  Earlier this year, Marcy—who’s now 69 and divorced—decided to track down Joe. And months after sending him an email, Joe responded. Since August, they’ve been talking on the phone every day. Marcy says they’re in love. And Joe lives only 15 minutes away. But Marcy and Joe... still haven’t seen each other. Not even over Zoom.  This week on the show, we’re partnering with our friends at NPR’s It’s Been A Minute with Sam Sanders to talk about two very different sides of being stuck during the pandemic: together and apart. Find their episode, about being stuck together, wherever you get your podcasts.  *Name changed

Today’s Patreon-fueled shout-out comes from an anonymous supporter who wants to say again - "We keep each other safe. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and keep your distance."*There are another 1,435 new cases of COVID-19 in Virginia today, and the seven-day daily average for new cases is 1,437. The seven-day average for positive tests has increased to 6.2 percent, up from 6.1 percent yesterday. There are another 31 new cases in the Blue Ridge Health District with 12 from Albemarle, nine from Charlottesville, and three each in Fluvanna, Greene and Louisa counties. There’s one new case in Nelson. A person from Greene County has died of COVID, the fourth fatality in that locality. That brings the death count to 78 in the district. No new fatalities had been reported since October 23. The University of Virginia’s COVID dashboard lists 41 active cases, with 24 of them students. Since August 17, there have been 1,148 COVID cases associated with UVA. *Virginia Governor Ralph Northam made several announcements yesterday about how some of the state’s remaining CARES Act funding will be spent. Seven million will go to the Federation of Virginia Food Banks for the purchase of food, $60 million will go to a municipal energy relief program to help people who have not been able to pay their bills, $22 million for private higher education institutions, and $25 million in Medicaid for day support programs for adults with developmental disabilities. However, the House of Delegates in the Virginia General Assembly declined to vote yesterday on a suggested budget amendment from Northam that would have provided more money to the energy relief program. Northam also suggested dozens of changes to how other portions of the CARES Act should be used. Delegate Mark Sickles of Fairfax made a motion to “pass by” on the amendment for the day. “This amendment from the Governor strikes a lot of language that the committee introduced to better direct in our view the coronavirus relief funds,” Sickles said. “When we came into session on August 18 there was $1.3 billion dollar of CRF funding that had not been spent and it needs to be spent by December 30.”Sickles said the House version of the bill directed more money to frontline medical workers and hospitals, but Northam’s amendment would have taken that away. “The governor eliminated our language and we like our language and we think that it’s our role as the legislative branch to direct these funds,” Sickles said. (read the budget amendments)For more on this, read Kate Masters article today in the Virginia Mercury.  The House also “passed by” on an amendment that would have altered the fee structure related to nutrient credits which are used to help improve water quality in Virginia. Delegate David Bulova represents Fairfax.“Whether you know about nutrient credit banks or not, they actually play a really critical role in our ability to meet stormwater management requirements as well as Chesapeake Bay restoration targets,” Bulova said. “They do that by leveraging capital from the private sector and in fact we can take a little bit of a point of pride here in that Virginia’s program was recognized several years as a national model for how to achieve water quality standards and do that in a cost effective way.”Bulova said the Department of Environmental Quality’s stormwater management program is underfunded, but there was concern that the Governor’s approach was not ready. Other amendments include $1 million to fund a third-party investigation into racism at the Virginia Military Institute. That item passed 52 to 46.  Governor Northam will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. to give an update on Virginia’s COVID-19 response. *There are many meetings today, and for a full review check out the Week Ahead newsletter. One of the most anticipated meetings is the Charlottesville’s City Council and Planning Commission joint session this evening. They’ll consider a rezoning on Nassau Street and get an update on the draft affordable housing plan that’s been put together by the consultant hired to complete the city’s Comprehensive Plan. This week there will be many opportunities to participate in virtual meetings about the initiatives, but tonight’s discussion between Council and the Commission might give a brief glimpse into what decision-makers are thinking. (meeting page) (draft affordable housing plan page)A subcommittee of the city’s Housing Advisory Committee discussed the draft affordable housing plan at their meeting on November 4 and have sent their thoughts to City Council and the Planning Commission. The letter from the policy subcommittee  expresses support for the plan but also asks that the document include strategies for wealth creation and economic mobility.“The plan should explicitly acknowledge that housing affordability for many households is an income problem,” reads the letter which also said the plan should better address the high cost of land and how that can be mitigated. They also made suggestions on policies for how the $10 million in annual funding for affordable housing called for in the plan.  (read the recommendations)The Nelson County Board of Supervisors meets at 6 p.m. and one item includes a decision for a rezoning to allow Wild Man Dan Bed and Breakfast to expand its brewery operations  (meeting packet)The Charlottesville Economic Development Authority meets at 4 p.m. and will get an update on the city’s COVID response.  There will also be an update on the performance agreement between CEDA and Piedmont Housing for tax increment financing for the first phase of Friendship Court. For those details, take a look or listen to a longer story and podcast I produced from the October 19, 2020 City Council meeting where the agreement was approved by elected officials.The Albemarle Planning Commission meets at 6 p.m. They’ll have public hearings on reviews to two conservation areas known as Agricultural-Forest Districts as well as a public hearing on a change to zoning involving recycling centers. (meeting info)*While not a government meeting, here’s another event that might be interesting. The Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society will have another installment of their Ask a Genealogist series with Dr. Shelley Murphy.

Start Ups is the name of the game with Mark Grimes, todays guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast. He is a man who over the last few months has taken more action than most people, not least himself have done over the last 18 years. You see over nearly two decades our guest today created a list of  businesses that he thought would be proven winners. Or at least those that were worth reviewing and developing to see if they bore fruit. Now since August 1, 2020, he is a man on fire. As he says "Since August 2020 I launched one new startup every day for 31 days in a row. Yep, 31 brand spanking new companies. No business plans drawn up. No money raised. No teams assembled. No website created—nothing done ahead of time. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Lean and mean. 100% transparent. 100% open. How The Start Ups Dots Joined Up For Mark Grimes One new idea was selected each day from 350+ business ideas scribbled down over the last 18 years, aka the Dunning Kruger Project. Is this for real? Yes. Am I joking? No. Am I nuts? We'll see. Why am I doing this? Well, there are 55 million newly unemployed people in the US alone. There is continuing economic upheaval. There are tense racial, political, and personal divisions among us. There is a global pandemic. Is this the worst possible time to launch and grow a startup? Yes Could it be the best possible time? Yes. Which of course makes him a perfect guest for a show like Join Up Dots So where can people start first with so many ideas flooding around us all everyday? And of course how does he remain organised and focused on developing every single one. Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mark Grimes

Today’s Patreon-fueled shout-out comes from an anonymous supporter who wants to say again - "We keep each other safe. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and keep your distance."* The seven-day average for positive PCR tests is steadily increasing in Virginia with that metric at 5.8 percent today. That’s up from 4.5 percent on October 2 and 5 percent a week ago. The seven-day average for new daily cases statewide is 1,306. The number of new cases was 1,551 on Saturday, 1,202 on Sunday and 1,026 today. The total number of cases in Virginia since the pandemic began is 183,418. Another metric that is increasing is the total number of cases per 100,000 population within the last 14 days. Today that figure is 194.8. On October 15 the number was 166.9. In the Blue Ridge Health District, there are another nine cases today, with the seven-day average of new daily cases at 21. There have been no new fatalities reported since October 23. The seven-day average for positive PCR tests is at 2.4 percent today. The Blue Ridge Health District is within the VDH’s Northwest Region. The pandemic metric page shows that cases in the region have been increasing for the last 11 days, but percent positivity has been decreasing. *Since August, Albemarle County has been encouraging its residents to vote early in-person or by mail in order to avoid long lines at the polls tomorrow. “And my goodness, did they respond,” said Jim Heilman, the secretary of the Albemarle Electoral Board. At a press briefing on Friday, he gave a snapshot of how many have voted.“We have had 23,152 people vote in person at the county office building on 5th Street,” Heilman said. “We have processed 16,026 mail ballots that we received and that’s a total of 39,178 people have already voted.”Heilman said that’s about half of the registered voters in the county. He projected an 80 percent total-turn-out, which would be a modern day record. All thirty polling places in county will be fully staffed and operational from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Heilman said all election officers will wear masks, surfaces will be cleaned on a regular basis, and face-shields will be in place. Voters will be asked to wear face masks. Mail-in ballots will be received through noon on Friday, but they must be postmarked by November 3 to be counted. On election night, Albemarle will report out preliminary results. “On election night as the results come in from the polling places we will be reporting those as we traditionally do,” Heilman said. “Starting probably about 7:30 p.m. we will be getting results from the polling places and we will be posting those and we’ll also at the same time be posting those on the state website. At some point in the evening, probably by 9:00 p.m. and possibly not before 11:00 p.m we will also be posting the results of the early in-person voting and the mail balloting. That’s going to be the big number.”Heilman said the State Department of Elections will combine the early in-person and mail-in numbers combined as one. He said the county will likely not provide any updates on Wednesday, but will do so on Thursday and Friday. Heilman said there may not be a final report on Albemarle’s results until Monday, November 9. *As the community seeks pathways to become more sustainable, one way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to stop discarded materials from being trucked to landfills far away. Is it possible to find a way to manufacture new glass bottles from those consumed in this area? A subcommittee of Albemarle County’s Solid Waste Alternatives Advisory Committee (SWAAC) has been reviewing the financial feasibility of such an idea. “So the operations team is looking into how we can get glass from users to Ivy [Material Utilization Center] where it can be turned into more glass products,” said Jesse Warren is the sustainable program manager at UVA Sustainability and the head of the SWAAC Operations Team. “Ivy MUC is willing to take glass and they’re willing to take it for free.”Warren is referring to a facility owned by the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority built at a now-closed landfill. He led a discussion last Thursday about how beverage producers in the area can come together to discuss ways to haul used glass to that location. The idea of making new bottles locally is more feasible if enough raw material can be brought together. Several industry representatives said they would be willing to do so. Rob Gustafson is the owner and director of operations at Harvest Moon Catering. “A good outcome for us would be figuring out any way we could get rid of our glass without having massive piles of broken disgusting stuff laying around next to our dumpster and ending up in the trash and not in the recycling, unfortunately,” Gustafson said, adding he would be interested in having some way to have glass picked up from catering events. Elizabeth Tuel is with Devil’s Backbone Brewing Company, one of several alcohol-related businesses in Nelson County. “I know there’s a lot of interest just within our business community about glass recycling options,” Tuel said.Kerry Woolard is the general manager of Trump Winery. She said she wanted to know more about what initiatives have been worked in the past and why they stopped.“I recall a time where we did recycle glass and then I recall a time where we used a single-stream recycling and then went away so it feels like we’ve gone backwards a little bit here but I don’t have the context of why or how,” Woolard said. Scott Elliff is with DuCard Winery and he said he’s never had recycling on site in Madison County. “We used to take our bottles down to McIntire Road in the back of my pick-up truck but that’s gotten to be pretty impractical and we’d rather see things go in a much larger basis,” Elliff said. “We’re ready to be do anything anytime on this. By volume it’s by far the biggest part of our overall waste stream.” Scott DeFife is the president of the Glass Packaging Institute. He said there are 45 glass manufacturing facilities scattered across the United States. There is a crusher in Fairfax, and container factories near Williamsburg and Danville. “We have kind of a gap here in this area,” DeFife said. “That doesn’t mean that we can’t make it work right now. It just means that we have to do a little bit of extra work.” DeFife said one solution could be greater use of rail to reduce vehicle miles traveled by hauling trucks. I’ll have more on this discussion coming up in a future story on infocville.com. *In meetings today, the Albemarle Architectural Review Board meets at 1 p.m. and will review the design of a new car wash at the intersection of U.S. 29 and Woodbrook Road at the former Allen, Allen, Allen, and Allen building. (ARB meeting info)Charlottesville City Council meets at 6:30 p.m. and among the items on the agenda is a discussion of unmarked graves at a family cemetery in Pen Park. The bodies are believed to be those of enslaved individuals. (meeting info) Check out yesterday’s Week Ahead newsletter for more details about Monday’s meetings as well as the rest of this week.

Today’s installment, and all the other installments, is made possible by contributions from readers and listeners either through purchasing a subscription to this newsletter or setting up a monthly donation through Patreon. All of it goes to making sure I can continue keeping an eye on things for the foreseeable future. About ten percent of you so far are doing so, and I thank you for that. *There are another 1,331 new cases of COVID-19 reported today by the Virginia Department of Health, and the seven-day percent positive rate for PCR tests has increased slightly to 4.7 percent, up from 4.6 percent yesterday. The total number of new cases over two weeks per 100,000 population is now at 166.9. In the Blue Ridge Health District, there are another 25 cases reported today with one from Fluvanna, two from Nelson, three from Greene, five from Louisa, five from Albemarle, and nine from Charlottesville. Louisa County is seeing its sharpest rise in cases to date, with 11 new cases reported over the weekend. The seven-day average for positive PCR tests is at 3.4 percent today in the district. The University of Virginia’s COVID-19 tracker reports 105 active cases as of yesterday among its population, with 80 of them students. Since August 17, UVA has tracked 1,000 cases, with 893 of them students. As UVA is not a separate health district, those numbers show up officially in counts for the localities in the Blue Ridge Health District. On August 17, Albemarle reported 913 cases and Charlottesville reported 560. As of today, Albemarle has added 539 cases for a total of 1,452 and Charlottesville has added 921 cases for a total of 1,481. *A Charlottesville committee charged with advising the School Board on the eventual transition to in-person instruction is recommending that virtual learning continue through the end of the calendar year. The second nine-week academic period begins on November 9, and the  Covid-19 Advisory Committee recommends waiting until January to begin a phased approach to in-person education.  (slides for meeting)The committee is suggesting that pre-K through 6th grade students have the option of returning to school four days a week beginning on January 11 and January 19. If demand is high, this could be switched to a two-day hybrid model. The group also recommends that 7th grade through 12th grade could begin in-person instruction two days a week beginning on February 1. The email sent to parents includes a question about why the committee recommends waiting.“Much of the committee’s conversations have focused on Charlottesville’s data, including its higher-than-recommended new case counts (presently 2x higher than the CDC’s threshold for “highest risk”),” reads the email from Superintendent Rosa Atkins. “Additionally, the impact of the arriving flu season has yet to be seen. And finally, the coming disruptions (and increased travel) during the Thanksgiving and winter breaks reduced the value and safety of returning prior to January.”The information is just a recommendation and is not intended to be construed as a plan.  The Albemarle School Board voted 4-3 last week to have Kindergarten through 3rd Grade students resume in-person education two days a week on a hybrid model. (coverage)*Today in meetings, the Natural Heritage Committee meets at 5 p.m. and the 5th and Avon Community Advisory Committee meets at 7 p.m. Both are virtual meetings. The latter get a briefing on the creation of an affordable housing policy in Albemarle.  (NHC meeting info)The Board of Supervisors were briefed on the status of the draft plan last weekend. One of the most confusing aspects related to the cost of housing is the federal definition of the word “affordable” which for any given area is tied to a statistic known as the Area Median Income, or AMI. Stacy Pethia is the county’s housing coordinator and she said about a fifth of the county’s households struggle to afford where they live. “The current policy focuses primarily on affordable housing and it defines affordable housing as safe, decent housing where housing costs do not exceed 30 percent of the household income,” Pethia said. (draft housing policy)Albemarle is an affluent area, statistically, and has a median annual income of $93,900 according to data on Virginia Housing (new name for Virginia Housing and Development Authority). That means price restrictions allowed through voucher programs and designated “affordable” housing are much higher than people expect. If you listen to the soundbite, you’ll hear an exasperated gasp from Supervisor Ann Mallek. “For reference the current fair market rent for a two-bedroom unit is $1,262 per month and the maximum affordable sales price for Albemarle county is set at $243,750,” Pethia said. The new housing policy is intended to find ways to encourage development of more housing within Albemarle based on the idea that more supply will lead to lower prices. The draft policy has 12 policy objectives and 39 strategies to achieve them as the area population continues to rise.“According to the Weldon-Cooper Center population estimates, Albemarle’s population is expected to increase by about 26 percent by the year 2040,” Pethia said. “To accommodate this growth, Albemarle County will need to add 11,750 housing units to our current stock over the next years.” The 5th and Avon area of Albemarle is home to several future developments including the redeveloped Southwood Mobile Home Park, the Albemarle Business Campus, and Spring Hill Village.  The CAC will also get an update on Southwood this evening. (5th and Avon CAC meeting info) The Charlottesville Human Rights Commission meets at 6:30 p.m. (meeting info) This is a public episode.

Today’s Patreon-fueled shout-out is for me to say… "Early voting is underway for all registered voters. Vote in-person or request a ballot by mail. Register to vote by October 13. Visit elections.virginia.gov/registration/voter-forms"*The city of Charlottesville has now had almost as many COVID cases as Albemarle County, despite the latter having twice the population. According to data from the Virginia Department of Health posted this morning, Charlottesville added 16 new cases for a total of 1,380 to date, whereas Albemarle added 15 new cases for a total of 1,383. Since August 29, Charlottesville has had 758 residents test positive for COVID-19 whereas Albemarle has added 366. Up to that date, Albemarle had 1,022 cases and Charlottesville had 648 cases. The rise in cases is believed to be attributed to the return of students to the University of Virginia. UVa began virtual instruction shortly after the pandemic and students were sent home after spring break, but many began to come back to apartments in early August. The return of students who live off campus to Charlottesville was one reason cited by administration officials for beginning in-person classes.“The vast majority of our students will be here in Charlottesville, living in private houses and apartments, regardless of whether classes are all online or not,” wrote President Jim Ryan in an August 28 announcement that classes could meet in-person. “By welcoming our students into classrooms and on Grounds – with adequate testing, rules about gatherings and mask-wearing, and enforcement – we will be in a better position to monitor what’s happening and to contain any outbreaks.”UVA has not updated their official COVID tracker since Friday afternoon, when they reported 270 active cases, as defined as someone with a positive test result in the past ten days. Of that number, 252 are students. Other information on the website is likely out of date by now. Statewide, there are another 687 new cases of COVID today, and a total of 42 new cases in the Thomas Jefferson Health District. To date, Fluvanna County has had 384 cases, Greene has had 239 cases, Louisa has had 312 and Nelson has had 110 cases. The seven-day average for positive tests statewide is at 4.8 percent for the second straight day. The figure is 5.2 percent in the Thomas Jefferson Health District for the second straight day. *Five of the eight Republican challengers running for U.S. House seats in Virginia have not disclosed financial assets on forms required by the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. One of three Democratic challengers has also not disclosed their assets on the form according to information retrieved from the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives.Candidates are required to file the disclosure forms once their campaign has raised more than $5,000. Three of the Republicans filed the required documents, but did not disclose any assets. That includes 5th District challenger Bob Good who lists salary and liabilities information, but lists no assets. His Democratic challenger Cameron Webb did list assets, including retirement and savings accounts.  Third District Republican John Collick, 4th District Republican Leon Benjamin and 1st District Democrat Qasim Rashid also filed forms but listed no assets. There are no online records of either Second District Republican Scott Taylor or 11th District Republican Manga Anantatmula submitting the form. Incumbent members of Congress are required to file periodic reports on their financial transactions. Read previous coverage of this topic on CBS19 and on the Rappahannock News.In all, Virginia has eleven districts and ten of them are contested this year. Only the 5th District race is a contest between two newcomers, as incumbent Denver Riggleman was not renominated for a second term by his party. *Former City Councilor John Conover has died, according to reports on social media. Conover was elected in 1980 and served one term during a time when Albemarle and Charlottesville entered into a revenue-sharing agreement to prevent further annexation of land by the city.  Conover was an attorney with the Legal Aid Justice Center who was also an elected member of the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District. *Today in meetings, the Albemarle Architectural Review Board reviews a new three-story building including a coffee shop on U.S. 250 east of Exit 124, as well as an updated design for a redesign of the Albemarle Square Shopping Center for a new Aldi. Charlottesville City Council meets at 6:30 p.m. and has a public hearing on how to spend $4.1 million in a second round of CARES Act funding. There’s also a review of the Home to Hope initiative, a project to help people released from prison reenter society.  The Louisa County Board of Supervisors meets at 5 p.m. For more information, check out this week’s Week Ahead newsletter on local government meetings.  Interested in learning more about our feathered friends? At 3 p.m., Schuyer Lawson will lead a discussion at the Center on what equipment you need to become a birdwatcher and what science citizens can contribute to the field.

Listen to applied mycologist, educator, and ecosystem restoration practitioner Taylor Bright [https://www.instagram.com/symbiiotica/], speak in detail about post-fire remediation and regeneration, particularly mycoremediation, where fungi-based technology is used to decontaminate the environment and heal the water and soil. Since August 2020, hundreds of fires have burned and are still burning in Oregon, Washington, and California. To date, over 4.5 million acres have burned. Taylor Bright is currently an officer and researcher for Bay Area Applied Mycology [http://bayareaappliedmycology.com], as well as a project facilitator and educator for CoRenewal [https://www.amazonmycorenewal.org/post-fire-bioremediation-webinar.html].

  Landaas & Company newsletter  September edition now available. Advisors on This Week’s Show Kyle Tetting Marc Amateis Dave Sandstrom (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Reuben Neese) Week in Review (Sept. 7-11, 2020) SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC INDICATORS & REPORTS Monday Labor Day Tuesday U.S. consumer debt rose in July for the second month in a row, though it was still $73 billion or 1.7% behind the peak reached in February, the Federal Reserve reported. The rise relied on continued borrowing for automobiles and student finances. However, credit card debt dipped for the fifth month in a row, though at a slower pace. Since its peak in February, so-called revolving credit was down $104 billion or 9.5%. Credit card curtailment can be troubling for an economy that relies heavily on consumer spending. During the Great Recession, credit card debt crested in May 2008 and didn’t recover until January 2018. Wednesday U.S. employers posted 6.6 million job openings in July, an increase of 617,000 or 10.3% as the labor market recovered amid business reopenings from the pandemic. Openings in retail, health care, social service and construction led the July increase. The number of hires declined in July, led by the accommodation and food service industries. The number of workers separated from their jobs increased in July, but that was more because of people quitting their positions and less because of layoffs and discharges. Thursday In a sign that the labor market recovery was losing steam, the four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims declined at a slower rate. It was the 19th time in 20 weeks the average fell but at 970,000 was more than four times its level before the pandemic and more than double the average since 1967. The Labor Department said 29.6 million Americans were receiving jobless benefits, which was up from 1.6 million at the same time last year. Inflation on the wholesale level continued to rebound in August as the Producer Price Index gained 0.3%, the third increase in four months. Prices for trade services led the gain. Excluding volatile costs for food, energy and trade services, the core PPI also rose 0.3%. Since August 2019, wholesale inflation overall sank 0.2%, the fifth decline in a row, while the core rate rose 0.3%. Friday The broadest measure of inflation rose 0.4% in August, the third straight increase after three months of declining prices resulting from pandemic shutdowns. Although gains were broad, higher demand for used cars and trucks mostly drove the August increase in the Consumer Price Index. The price of gasoline, shelter, recreation and furniture also had notable gains. Year-to-year, consumer prices rose 1.3%, including a 4.1% increase in the cost of groceries and a 16.8% decline in gas prices. Excluding food and energy prices, the core CPI rose 1.7% from August 2019. MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 10854, down 460 points or 4.1% Standard & Poor’s 500 – 3341, down 86 points or 2.5% Dow Jones Industrial – 27665, down 468 points or 1.7% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 0.67%, down 0.05 point Send us a question for our next podcast.

On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we'll get the latest on the devastating fires in California. Since August 15, 700 wildfires have charred more than 1.3 million acres and destroyed more than 3,000 structures.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: A teenage wannabe cop and militia member was arrested for shooting and killing two people at a protest against police violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Bucks then launched a solidarity strike with protesters, leading to the postponement of the basketball playoffs, which will definitely get the attention of people who might not have noticed or cared. Meanwhile, Texas and Lousiana braced for a massive Category Four hurricane that was set to make landfall last night. And thousands more homes are at risk of burning in California. And lastly, there was a courtroom a victory for transgender equity in Virginia yesterday. A federal appeals court upheld the right of a transgender male student to use the boy’s bathroom at school, regardless of how many bigoted adults may feel about it. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Police in Lake County, Illinois arrested a seventeen-year-old boy for shooting three people and killing two at ongoing protests in nearby Kenosha, Wisconsin. According to Vice News, the young man, Kyle Rittenhouse is an aspiring police officer, and online videos showed him milling about with local police, as well as with right-wing militia members, and carrying an assault rifle. The militia claimed to be on the scene to protect businesses and property from rioters and QUOTE evil thugs ENDQUOTE. An event page set up by the militia was removed from Facebook, but not before the event was promoted by Alex Jones’ Infowars. Prosecutors in Illinois called Rittenhouse a fugitive who fled Wisconsin to avoid accountability for the shooting. He is being charged with first-degree murder. Videos show Wisconsin police allowed Rittenhouse to leave the scene with his rifle. Photographer Brent Ford witnessed the entire scene and told Vice News QUOTE He had his hands up and they told him to get out of there, even though everyone was yelling that he was the shooter. The police didn’t seem to hear or care what the crowd was saying ENDQUOTE. Yesterday the Kenosha police chief told reporters that if everyone involved had respected the curfew that was in place, QUOTE perhaps the situation that unfolded would not have happened ENDQUOTE. The shooting took place just before midnight on Tuesday, which was the third night of protests in Kenosha following the police shooting of an unarmed black man, Jacob Blake. Yesterday, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said he was calling up five hundred members of the National Guard to support police in Kenosha County. A curfew was set for seven P.M. Donald Trump was also tweeting about the situation yesterday, which is sure to help. More importantly, players with the Milaukee Bucks decided to go on strike in solidarity with the protests over Jacob Blake’s shooting, prompting the National Basketball Association to postpone all of yesterday’s playoffs games. *Editor's Note: A previous version of this report said that police killed Jacob Blake. Blake was not killed but he was shot by police seven times and as a result has been paralyzed from the waist down Hurricane hits Gulf states National Guard were also deployed in Texas and Louisiana, which are in the way of Hurricane Laura. The storm yesterday was upgraded to a Category Four, with peak winds reaching one-hundred and forty-five miles per hour. It could be the strongest storm to hit Louisiana in one-hundred and sixty years, according to Bloomberg News. The National Hurricane Center said an unsurvivable storm surge with large and destructive waves could penetrate thirty miles inland, causing catastrophic damage from Sea Rim State Park, Texas, to Intracoastal City, Louisiana, including Calcasieu and Sabine Lakes. The American Red Cross is putting emergency evacuation protocols in place for both states. In all more than a half a million people have been ordered to evacuate the coastal areas. Meanwhile, firefighters in California, aided by cooler weather, have made some progress containing the wildfires that are ravaging the state. Nearly two thousand buildings have already burned, according to the Los Angeles Times. Officials say that number could double before the fires are finally extinguished. Since August 15, when the state was first hit with a so-called lightning siege that sparked the flames, more than seven hundred wildfires have burned one point three million acres around the north and central parts of the state. While progress is being made, crews are still busy responding to new fires. Another four hundred and twenty three lightning strikes hit the state in the twenty-four hour period ending yesterday afternoon, causing fifty new fires. More than one hundred and thirty-six thousand Californians have been evacuated, and Governor Gavin Newsom has warned everyone in the state that they may need to flee their homes at some point on account of the fires. At least seven people have died so far in the fires. Transgender bathroom rights upheld A federal appeals court in Virginia yesterday sided with a transgender student in a bathroom-access case. The Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Gloucester County School Board and said the transgender student was protected both by a federal law preventing sex discrimination in education, as well as by the US Constitution’s equal protection clause. The lawsuit dates to 2015, according to NBC News. It was filed by Gavin Grimm, who is now a college student. Grimm was assigned female at birth but identifies as male. School officials had forbidden him from using the boy’s restroom. Writing for the court, which sided with Grimm in a two-to-one vote, Judge Henry Floyd wrote that school officials were guilty of a special kind of discrimination against a child, based in the fantastical fears and unfounded prejudices of adults. Floyd wrote QUOTE the proudest moments of the federal judiciary have been when we affirm the burgeoning values of our bright youth, rather than preserve the prejudices of the past ENDQUOTE. Grimm’s case was originally going to be heard by the US Supreme Court in 2017, but it was removed from the calendar after Donald Trump rescinded a federal rule on transgender bathroom access put into place by Barack Obama. It’s possible, even likely, that the question of transgender rights will come before the high court again. Grimm was represented by the American Civil Liberties Union. In a statement following the verdict, he said QUOTE all transgender students should have what I was denied: the opportunity to be seen for who we are by our schools and our government ENDQUOTE. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: Mike Pence was the marquee name last night at the Republican National Convention. Separately, a Politico story blamed Pence for doing his part to slow down the nation’s coronavirus response. Donald Trump spent part of the day at his namesake hotel in Washington, DC, meeting with donors. According to the Washington Post, among the sundry events scheduled for the Trump International Hotel yesterday was a panel on Defeating the Deep State, featuring, among other panelists, Sebastian Gorka. There was also a bourbon tasting with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. Boy howdy. Four US service members suffered concussion-like symptoms after an altercation with Russian forces in Syria this week. Video of the incident emerged yesterday, and it showed a Russian helicopter flying low over US armored vehicles, which were then rammed by a Russian vehicle on the ground. A draft statement written by US Central Command and cited by Politico blamed the Russians for unsafely pursuing then intentionally ramming the American forces. The Pentagon offered no comment. The ACLU of Oregon filed a lawsuit yesterday in federal court on behalf of Portland protesters who say they were beaten by federal agents or snatched into unmarked rental vans, Portland’s Willamette (WILL-AM-ET) Week newspaper reported. Donald Trump, the Department of Homeland Security and the US Marshals Service are named as defendants. One of the plaintiffs, Mark Mark Pettibone, was snatched up by federal agents and tossed into an unmarked van. He said QUOTE I still haven't fully come to terms with what it means that I was kidnapped by my government ENDQUOTE. Same here buddy. The US Centers for Disease Control revised its guidance for COVID-19 testing this week, saying people who were exposed to the virus but are not showing symptoms should not be tested. Public health experts expressed concern over the revision, saying all who were exposed should be tested. After word got out about the changes, the New York Times reported that CDC officials were pressured to make the change by higher-ups in the Trump administration. Apparently Trump officials took advantage of the absence of Doctor Anthony Fauci, who was undergoing surgery for polyp on his vocal cords, to ram through the change. I don’t know about you, folks, but this is all the nonsense I can take today. That’s all for the AM Quickie. Join us this afternoon on the Majority Report.

This podcast started back in May when working virtually became a way of life for the MBA program staff.  In season one, we talked about football, going to South Africa, the student veterans experience, our non profit board fellows program and the support provided by our career management staff. In season two, we learned more about Athens’ creative economy, philanthropic community, and talked with some business leaders. Since August is here, it's time to get ready to go back to school! Growing up, going back to school was an exciting time. New classes, new friends, new teachers. New things to learn and do. Going back to graduate school is a more complex process. Going back to graduate school during a pandemic adds a whole other layer of complexity and difficulty. So in this episode, we're talking with two MBA program staff, Jake Mosley with student engagement and Emily Nicholos with career management, and one of second year students, Emylee Connally, who is also VP of marketing with our graduate business association, about the moving to Athens right now, re-opening plans, what to expect in the fall, and orientation.

Since August 2007 at least 20 detached human feet have been found on the coasts of the Salish Sea in British Columbia, Canada, and Washington state. I mean, if that's not enough to draw you in, I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS.

Since August 2019, the Federal Elections Commission has lacked the minimum number of commissioners it needs to undertake some of its most essential operations, including the enforcement of America's federal election laws. With the 2020 campaigns well underway, Blair Schuman, a compliance expert and the founder of Roger That Compliance, joins the Money in Politics Podcast to talk about why this matters, how we got here, and what may be in store for the future of the FEC.

Tom is joined in the studio by Erricka Bridgeford, co-organizer of Baltimore Ceasefire 365. Since August 2017, the grass-roots group has organized hundreds of events to bring people together to reduce lethal violence in Baltimore. It is calling for another Ceasefire this coming weekend, from Friday, February 7 through Sunday, February 9, during which it encourages community actions aimed at “promoting peacefulness and celebrating life.” A big part of Bridgeford's work is standing in witness and comforting both victims and perpetrators of violence, as well as their families and friends. Every week here on Midday we also make it a point to remember those who were killed, and their families and friends in their hour of grief. We get their names from Ellen Worthing, who compiles a list of Baltimore homicide victims. We also consult the Baltimore Sun’s list of homicides, and victim identifications posted on the Baltimore Police Department’s Facebook page. So far this year, 28 people in Baltimore have lost their lives to violence. Four people were killed last week. They are: Malik Samuels, age 42. Everette Williams, age 34. Jerrod Crim, age 32, and Richard Walker, age 58. This conversation was livestreamed on WYPR's Facebook page. You can watch the video here.
