When's the last time you really looked at your nails? Could they be revealing something more than just your latest manicure? What if they were giving you clues about your internal health? This week on Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes renowned dermatologist and nail health expert Dr. Dana Stern to uncover what your nails are trying to tell you. From decoding nail color and shape to the truth about nail polish, gel manicures, and whether nails need to "breathe"—this episode is packed with everything you need to know for healthy nails from the cuticle to the tip. Tune in to learn how your nails can serve as your body's early warning system—and what you can do to care for them, inside and out. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(05:43) Dr. Dana explains some of the underlying health conditions indicated by your nails(11:49) Breakthrough study on brittle nails(15:36) Discussion about gel manicures, nail polishes, and UV exposure (20:50) Do nails breathe, and cuticle care(22:52) What does the cuticle tell us about our nails(28:36) Giving your nails a break, and what about polish removers(33:11) What products and supplements will promote nail health, and what about biotin(42:44) Get a precision glass nail file for ultimate nail careKEY TAKEAWAYS:Nails can be indicators of underlying health conditions. Changes in the nails, such as unusual color or shape (like spoon-shaped nails indicating iron deficiency or white nails potentially signaling diabetes or heart issues), can be early signs of systemic diseases. Observing nail health can provide valuable clues for early diagnosis and intervention. Many standard nail enhancements, like gels, acrylics, and dips, can damage the nail plate and surrounding skin. In particular, the removal process of soak-off gels has been scientifically proven to thin and weaken the nail plate, making it more prone to brittleness and breakage. Potential risks are associated with UV lamps used in gel manicures. Switch to a precision glass nail file for smoother, healthier nail edges and reduced breakage. Nails don't breathe, but good blood flow is crucial for their health. Therefore, maintaining good peripheral circulation through cardiovascular activity or even hand massage is vital for healthy nail growth and preventing issues like brittleness and peeling, especially as we age and tend to have poorer circulation.The cuticle is a vital protective barrier for the nail and should not be removed. It acts as a natural seal, protecting the nail matrix (the nail's growth center) from water, moisture, and pathogens. Disrupting the cuticle can lead to nail abnormalities like patches, surface irregularities, bumps, and even separation. Liquid cuticle removers essentially destroy the cuticle, just like cutting it. QUOTES: (08:46) “If I see a white situation in someone's nails, I get general labs. I'm taking a thorough history and trying to uncover it. Something has been missed or something is brewing.” - Dr. Dana Stern(09:21) “We see this a lot with oral health too, that it's, you're seeing things before it manifests in the symptoms that everybody seems to be looking for.” - Jenn Trepeck(10:51) “If you have spec, a single pigmented band, meaning that one of your nails has this brown streak, that's something you want to see a board-certified dermatologist for, to examine.” - Dr. Dana Stern(18:47) “The take-home message is use protection because we know that UV radiation is definitively associated with skin cancer, UVA specifically in the case of the nail lights they use.” - Dr. Dana Stern(42:24) “I think at some point, a greater commitment to supplementation, a greater commitment to the quality of protein choices is really helpful and important.” - Jenn Trepeck(51:44) “The nails are the crystal ball to your internal health. So let's remove our polish for a minute or two or more. Take a look and choose quality nail care.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES:Dr. Dana Nails - WebsiteDr. Dana Nails - Instagram Dr. Dana Nails - FacebookDr. Dana Nails - LinkedInDr. Dana Nails - TikTokGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Dana Stern is the only board-certified dermatologist in the U.S. who devotes her entire practice to the diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of the nails. As one of the country's most trusted and respected nail specialists, patients worldwide, from celebrities to luminaries, come to see Dr. Dana at her bustling Fifth Avenue, New York City and Hamptons practices. After observing what her patients used on their nails, she determined that nail care products were formulated with harsh chemicals and not backed by science. She knew there needed to be a change, and that she was the person to do it. Drawing from almost two decades of nail expertise and her vast knowledge of product chemistry, she founded her eponymous nail care brand, Dr.Dana's mission is to revolutionize the at-home nail treatment industry and change how we care for our nails. She is the Nail Expert Choice for the media, and Vogue magazine called her the“Go-to Dermatologist for nail disorders and cosmetic conditions relating to nail disease”. She is also a contributing editor for Nails Magazine, where she writes a column entitled “A Day in the Life of a Nail Doctor.” In addition to her impressive career, which includes a position as Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City,Dr. Dana is also a busy mom of three boys and a rescue Basset hound named Bo.
De spanningen tussen India en Pakistan zijn opnieuw opgelaaid in wat wordt gezien als de ernstigste confrontatie in decennia. De Indiase premier Narendra Modi heeft hard uitgehaald met raketaanvallen op doelen tot diep in Pakistan. Volgens Modi zijn de aanvallen een vergelding voor een recente terreuraanslag in het door India bestuurde deel van Kasjmir. Waar leidt deze escalatie toe? We bespreken het met Pakistankenner en oud-correspondent Suzanna Koster, en India-onderzoeker Carolien Stolte van de Universiteit Leiden. (13:14) Israël heeft grote plannen in de regio Deze week kondigde Israël aan de operatie in Gaza uit te breiden, en meer land in beslag te gaan nemen. Volgens minister Smotrich zal Israël blijven vechten totdat Gaza volledig 'gezuiverd' is. Ondertussen voert het land ook aanvallen uit in Syrië en zijn ze plan daar langer te blijven. Over het vergaande beleid van Israël spreken we Erella Grassiani, Israël-kenner en antropoloog aan de UvA. Presentatie: Tim de Wit.

Covering The Commonwealth ft. JMU, UVA, VT by Ed Lane
In 2017 werden de Oranje Leeuwinnen voor het eerst Europees kampioen: één van de vele aftrappen (en bewijzen) van het toenemende succes van vrouwenvoetbal in Nederland. Maar vrouwen op het veld (in plaats van naast) is niet altijd vanzelfsprekend geweest. Het vrouwenvoetbal in Nederland kent, anders dan het mannenvoetbal, namelijk een vrij korte doch turbulente geschiedenis van komen en gaan: zo werd vrouwenvoetbal in 1935 door de burgemeester van Amsterdam verboden, waarna de KNVB in 1938 volgde met een landelijk verbod op vrouwenvoetbal. Bovendien konden vrouwen pas in 1971 lid worden van de KNVB. Het lijkt zodoende een ontstaansgeschiedenis te hebben die gekenmerkt wordt door weerstand. Waar komt dat precies vandaan, die weerstand? En wat is er in de tussentijd veranderd? In deze uitzending van Radio Swammerdam proberen redacteuren Emerence Kapteijn en Maaike Kooijman antwoorden te vinden op de vraag: wat kan vrouwenvoetbal ons vertellen over de maatschappelijke ontwikkeling van emancipatie en gender (on)gelijkheid? Oud-profvoetballer en hoogleraar Philosophy of Humanity, Culture, and Society (Universiteit Tilburg) Martine Prange vertelt over het Nederlandse vrouwenvoetbal als lens voor emancipatie, met een column van Josephine Feij en een korte reportage over de fanbeweging Ajax Women Fanatics.

V susednom Česku je hviezdou prvej veľkosti, no medzi slovenskými divákmi si fanúšikov hľadala postupne. Členka tohtoročnej zostavy tanečnej šou Let´s Dance, jediná česká súťažiaca Eva Burešová, prišla na návštevu do redakcie Pravdy. Po účinkovaní v Let´s Dance sa chystá zoznámiť nových fanúšikov aj so svojou tvorbou. Koncom mája sa v Bratislave uskutoční koncert, na ktorom Burešová predvedie skladby z ostatného albumu Meraki, ale aj staršie skladby. "Uvažovala som nad tým, že by som dovtedy napísala aj jednu pesničku v slovenčine. Uvidíme," naznačila s úsmevom hviezda, ktorej prvú popularitu priniesla účasť v súťaži Česko Slovensko má talent. Reč s Burešovou však nebola zďaleka len o hudbe. Speváčka a herečka sa otvorene priznáva aj k ťažkým momentom, ktoré zažila počas dospievania či v prvých rokoch kariéry. Šikana alebo panické ataky, pocit vyhorenia. Zažila ich, no aj vďaka tomu sa dnes cíti silnejšia. Dokonca sa jej zdá, že pomohli aj v tom, aká je matka. S partnerom Přemkom Forejtom vytvorili patchworkovú rodinu, v ktorej to vraj fungovalo od začiatku. "Mali sme skrátka šťastie," ozrejmila Burešová, no zdôraznila, že deti (ona svojho syna a Forejt svoju dcéru) zoznamovali až keď si boli istí, že chcú spolu žiť. Eva Burešová sa v relácii Ide o nás zamyslela aj nad tým, akým nástrahám čelia dnešné deti a porovnávala, či to mala počas dospievania ťažšie jej generácia alebo súčasní tínedžeri. Hovorili sme o kritike aj hejtoch, o tom, čo pre ňu znamenajú. Prezradila tiež, aký bol jej prvý večer v Let´s Dance a aký ten (zatiaľ) posledný - pred blížiacim sa finále, na ktorom chýbať nebude. Všetko a omnoho viac si vypočujte v našej novej epizóde relácie Ide o nás.

What's your plan for this summer? Enjoying the water? Going camping? Firing up the grill? Whatever you prefer, we have safety steps to follow. And don't forget your furry friends. There are steps you can take to help keep them safe too. Skin safety Children's skin is more susceptible to sunburns and UV damage from the sun than adults. Before going outside, apply sunscreen and dress your kids in protective clothing like rash guards and hats. Choose a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 with broad-spectrum protection that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreen is only safe for children over 6 months old. For babies under 6 months, keep them shaded and avoid direct sunlight. Children should also wear sunscreen on cloudy days. Even though the sun is hidden behind clouds, UV rays can still penetrate the skin and cause harm. Stay indoors during the peak sun hours. Warm weather can dry out skin. Apply a moisturizing cream or lotion after bath time and before bed to keep skin hydrated. Water safety Babies and small children can drown in just two inches of water. Keep a close eye on children around swimming pools, lakes, rivers, kiddie pools, and bathtubs and small containers of water like toilets, buckets, ice chests, or water tables. Make sure they stay covered, have a safety latch, or are kept out of reach. Children can be quick and slip away in an instant, so keep eyes on them at all times. Children can take swimming lessons as early as their first birthday. Other types of swimming lessons like Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) are an option for babies under 12 months. ISR lessons teach survival and self-rescue skills. Only swim in areas with a certified lifeguard. Never go into the ocean after dark.. Nutrition safety Keep your kids hydrated throughout the day by offering plenty of water to drink. Have water bottles nearby and fill them with ice to keep the water cold. Insulated stainless steel bottles keep water cold for hours. In hot weather, offer hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, berries, homemade fruit pops, and smoothies. If your child doesn't like drinking plain water, try infusing it with citrus fruits or fresh herbs for added flavor. When eating and cooking outdoors, avoid leaving raw meat or prepared foods in the sun to prevent foodborne illnesses. When BBQing, use an internal meat thermometer to ensure meats reach a safe internal temperature before eating. Always supervise open flames or BBQ grills and keep kids' toys and activities away from these areas for safety. Weather safety Avoid outdoor play during peak sun hours to prevent dehydration and heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, and nausea. If your child shows any of these signs, get them to a cool place right away, offer water, and use a cool bath or washcloth to help lower their temperature. If symptoms persist after an hour, seek medical attention immediately. Never leave children or pets alone in a car, even for a few minutes, as temperatures can become dangerous quickly. Avoid swimming or entering any body of water during thunderstorms or lightning. Insect safety Apply insect repellent on children before heading outdoors if bugs are around. Use an EPA-registered insect repellent. Eliminate standing water around your home to reduce the number of mosquitoes and other bugs nearby. If you live in an area with a lot of insects, plan indoor activities to avoid bug bites, especially in the evening. When planning an activity in a bug-prone area, dress children in long-sleeve shirts and long pants made from lightweight, breathable fabrics. Keep doors and windows closed whenever possible. If you want to open them, consider installing screens to keep bugs out. (credits)

Aankomend bondskanselier Merz heeft een deel van zijn ministerploeg gepresenteerd, en daaruit blijkt een duidelijke koers in het buitenlandbeleid. Duitsland blijft uitgesproken pro-Oekraïne, met een historische inzet op defensie-uitgaven. Merz maakt bovendien bekend dat daarvoor een uitzondering op de Europese begrotingsregels wordt aangevraagd. Wat dat gaat betekenen, en hoe het ontvangen wordt door de Duitsers, bespreken we met VRT-correspondent Jeroen Reygaert. Wie verdedigt nog het internationaal recht? Waar Europa voorheen optrok samen met de Verenigde Staten in het handhaven van internationale normen, staat ons continent er steeds meer alleen voor. Het Amerika van Trump neemt het niet zo nauw met internationale afspraken. Ondertussen worden Europese leiders beschuldigd van een dubbele standaard. In onze geopolitieke serie ‘De Oplossing van het Westen' bespreken we met Marieke de Hoon, hoofddocent internationaal strafrecht aan de UvA, de toekomst van de internationale rechtsorde en welke rol Europa daarin nog kan spelen.

We hope you'll head over to Story Collider to hear from Scott Acton, Chair of UVA's Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, and Stephanie Rowley, Dean of the School of Education and Human Development; and Hoos in STEM is very excited to share the other two stories from some the event. Here's Bill Petri, the Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases and International Health at UVA, and Kathryn Thornton a retired astronaut and Professor Emerita at UVA in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. The Story Collider's mission is to reveal the vibrant role that science plays in all of our lives through the art of personal storytelling.

The podcast, now supported by the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, features candid conversations with students, educators, and community leaders—tackling mental health from every angle.

WDIY Lehigh Valley Health Network Wind Creek Event Center Michael Bernadyn of RE/MAX Real Estate Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub Banko Beverage Company Episode Recap Teen Voices, Real Conversations: Inside YANA LV on WDIY “You are not alone.” It's more than a title—it's the foundation of YANA LV, the student-led mental health show created by Moravian Academy seniors Brannagh Breslin and Diya Sharma. Their journey began in the summer before junior year with a few iPhone recordings and an idea. “We decided to start this podcast because we both had interest in mental health,” Diya says. “Our stories individually were so different, but they overlapped with the idea of mental health and giving it to a bigger audience.” Mental Health Is Personal The show is rooted in lived experience. “For example, if a girl is smiling to the world, happy, seems like the most bubbly person in the world—it's not true,” Diya says. “She might be dealing with the most deepest things herself, and she's afraid to tell other people.” “And that's another reason we started this podcast,” she adds. “Because the idea of You Are Not Alone means that we're a community, and we're going to support one another.” From Voice Memos to Broadcast Airwaves At first, the show was as DIY as it gets. “We would just record on our phones,” Diya recalls. “Obviously it’s not as great editing as we have here at the studio, but it was a start.” They cold-emailed professors and local figures to ask about everything from ADHD to the psychological impact of injury and trauma. “Sometimes we would have to send five emails to five different people just to get one episode,” Brannagh says. Eventually, with encouragement from a teacher and a few inspiring guests, they were connected with WDIY's Youth Media Program. “I brought my dad into the studio,” Brannagh says. “I was so excited about it. It feels so professional.” Standout Guests, Lasting Impact Two moments stood out from their time on the show. “David Robertson… he came on to talk about Joshua Tree,” Brannagh says. “It's for his little brother, who unfortunately passed away due to addiction… and he turned it into such a positive thing.” Their very first WDIY episode also left a mark. “His name is Herman,” Diya says. “He's an anesthesiologist and he has a prosthetic leg. The way he spoke and the things that he said were very inspirational.” What They've Learned “Even though situations aren't exactly the same,” Brannagh says, “we're still bringing attention to talking about the things that we go through.” Diya adds: “Everyone has physical health—and I think everyone has mental health, whether they recognize it or not. I think just normalizing that and talking about it is the first big step.” What's Next? Brannagh is heading to NYU to study liberal studies and political science or psychology before law school. Diya will attend UVA to study biology and pursue a career in medicine. But they're not finished with YANA LV. “Obviously, we can't come here and record at the studio,” Brannagh says, “but we'll keep YANA alive.” Follow LVwithLOVE on Substack

Vandaag is formeel een ‘staakt-het-vuren' afgelopen dat de militaire junta na de enorme aardbeving van drie weken geleden had aangekondigd. Maar of er wel sprake is geweest van een gevechtspauze is zeer de vraag. Ondertussen is de bevolking woedend op het regime, dat de mensen na de enorme natuurramp volledig in de steek gelaten heeft, vertelt journalist Minka Nijhuis. (11:07) Dit is pas het begin van Trumps deportatiecampagne Eén miljoen, dat zou het aantal migranten zijn dat Trump per jaar wil uitzetten. Zijn deportatiecampagne is in volle gang: mensen zijn uitgezet naar een gevangenis in El Salvador, en honderden buitenlandse studenten werden al van straat geplukt. Maar als het aan de regering Trump ligt, is dit pas het begin. Een nieuw voorstel moet de macht van de immigratiediensten fors vergroten. Daarover te gast Lou Errens, jurist verbonden aan de UvA, en correspondent Karlijn van Houwelingen. Presentatie: Chris Kijne.

CCE-850ALast week I asked listeners of the podcast to let me know if they were tuning in, and sure enough, several of you did reach out! So, perhaps this Friday edition of the newsletter going out as a podcast will continue. Today's edition doesn't have any new information but instead is an audio summary of some of what has been going on with voices from some of the decision-makers.I'm Sean Tubbs, and this one's a bit of a puzzle to put together. In the print edition below you'll see new versions of a couple of the stories as I had to develop a new script. I have not included the images, but these podcasts will now have normal shout-outs. No more house ads!Two stories in this edition, both about Charlottesville's budget for FY2026:* City Council makes last minute decisions at final work session before tonight's vote on $265M budget* Council adopts $265.2 million budget after another conversation about transit fundingFirst shout-out: Plant Virginia NativesSpring is here and there's still time to plan for upgrades to your outdoors. You can take some time to get ready for spring! Check out Plant Virginia Natives!Plant Virginia Natives is part of a partnership with ten regional campaigns for ten different ecosystems across Virginia, from the Northern Piedmont to the Eastern Shore. Take a look at the full map below for the campaign for native species where you are in the Commonwealth. For the Charlottesville area, download a free copy of the handbook: Piedmont Native Plants: A Guide for Landscapes and Gardens.Plant Northern Piedmont Natives is for anyone who works with native plants, whether you are a property owner, private consultant, landscape designer, nursery operator, conservation group, or local government.(image)A summary of the April 10, 2025 Charlottesville City Council budget work sessionOne of the challenges of doing a podcast version at the end of a week is that I may have to rearrange two previous stories in order for the audio edition to make sense. That's the case this week with Charlottesville City Council's adoption of a $265.2 million budget for fiscal year 2026. That happened on April 14 at a special meeting.But before we get to that, we have to go back to the work session held on April 10.In Charlottesville, the budget process never really stops. In fact, it keeps on going up to the last minute of adoption. New items were added at the work session that had not previously come up.At the beginning of the April 10 work session, they learned about additional spending that can happen because new funding has been found since the beginning of the budget process in March.“We do have supplemental revenue over and above the proposed budget of $774,263,” said Krisy Hammill, the city's budget director.The driver of that change was an additional $700,000 increase in Business and Professional Licenses that had not been factored in.There were many numbers thrown around during the final work session. Before Council signed off on how to spend that money, City Manager Sam Sanders went through how $915,620 in “Council Discretionary Funds” would be spent to leave a balance of $440,406 to spend.“Kind of thinking that with all the volatility that we have in DC, there could very easily be a series of moments that come up and that this would give you the flexibility to make some decisions and how we could support gaps in what could happen based on decisions and how it actually lands in the community,” Sanders said.Staff codified a list of what Council had already decided to spend over the course of four budget work sessions.* $250,000 to the Blue Ridge Coalition for the Homeless to cover the costs of a federal grant not obtained because there was an error related to a recent leadership transition.* $162,000 to the Piedmont Housing Alliance to pay for the cost of staff who work on eviction prevention.* $50,000 in cash to the Piedmont Housing Alliance related to eviction prevention.* An additional $43,150 to the Boys and Girls Club for a total of $116,000 in the FY26 budget.* An additional $28,800 to Lighthouse Studios to fund two programs for a total funding of $40,000 in the FY26 budget.* An additional $6,000 to Loaves and Fishes to bring their total funding to $50,000 for FY26.* An additional $1,200 to Piedmont CASA for a total of $10,000.* An additional $6,600 to Live Arts for a total of $16,000.* An additional $7,100 to Legal Aid Justice Center for a total of $40,000* An additional $1,500 to SARA for a total of $25,000.* A total of $104,261 in capital improvement program funds will be redirected to the Dogwood Vietnam Memorial. Read this story for more information.At the meeting, Hammill handed out a spreadsheet that provided more details about other programs that were added to the list such as an annual payment to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center. This was initially left out of the budget because the organization did not fill out an application through a portal called Zoom Grants.The payment to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center was $228,993 in FY2024 and $246,993 in FY2025. The organization is considered fundamental which means it no longer has to compete for funding through the Vibrant Community Fund process . The payment for FY2026 will be $228,200.“By not submitting through Zoom Grants, they didn't appear on the list, but they didn't know that they had to still submit through Zoom Grants,” Sanders said. “So we have some course corrections that we need to do there and making sure that everyone understands what they have to do still, even though they're in a non competitive round.”Sanders said there was a similar error with the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority. That government body is considered “fundamental” but also sought additional funding.“We have to have a conversation with them about their pursuits of funding going forward to your point they could be here and in the competitive rounds,” Sanders said. “I don't particularly care for that. I think that makes it double dipping.”Sanders said Deputy City Manager James Freas and the Office of Community Solutions are currently performing an audit of CRHA as a way of building a better working relationship.City Councilor Michael Payne, a member of the CRHA Board, called for a joint work session to plan for the likelihood of reduced federal funding for public housing units.At one point in the conversation, Council initially signaled a willingness to add an additional $16,000 to the United Way for their Prosper program. Deputy City Manager Ashley Marshall made a pitch for the program at the April 10 meeting. The program had previously been called the Financial Resiliency Task Force.Another last minute item is $30,000 for the Tonsler League headed by former City Councilor and current CRHA Chair Wes Bellamy. The organization had expected that the City of Charlottesville would have received an additional $250,000 from the state government for operations, but Governor Glenn Youngkin recently vetoed that from the budget.“He received a $250,000 grant for this current year that ends in June,” Sanders said. “I am planning to check with him to see if. If he will expend all of that and avoid the risk of having to send anything back.”Council supported giving the Tonsler League $30,000.At half an hour into the final budget work session held three days after the final public hearing, Sanders asked Council if there was any other item they might want to fund and gave them the current balance.“The question that we are really posing at this point is, is there anything else that you all have been pondering?” Sanders asked. “Because we try to remind you that this is the end of the road and we are truly down to $394,000 that today, right now at this moment, is your Council Strategic Initiatives Fund.”That prompted Councilor Lloyd Snook to express a concern.“So we haven't even gotten to the fiscal year and we've already cut it down?” Snook asked.“That's correct,” Sanders said.Snook said he felt the process was not appropriate.“I find myself trying to figure out what possible process we're advancing here,” Snook said. “And the answer is it's still back to whatever anybody throws up against the wall at Council at the last minute. I just think that's a terrible way to do business.”Sanders said he understood Snook's concern.“I understand and appreciate the last minute nature of it and I'm not a fan of always doing that and I think in these, this, these two moments specifically, we can identify a way to bring you critical information so that you can have that presented to you and then you can make that determination on if you believe the item is ready to go forward,” Sanders said, adding that both Marshall and Bellamy could appear before Council to formally make a pitch.There were at least three Councilors who supported funding for Tonsler, but not yet for the Prosper Program.There was also a long discussion about increasing the number of transit drivers to 82 in order to restore service to pre-pandemic levels. This comment from Sanders finishes off that discussion and sets up a conversation for the future.“I think what I heard was that you are not going to attempt to unpack the budget at this late stage and find a way to make 82 drivers a reality,” Sanders said. “But what you are indicating is that you support the desire for added drivers and that you're looking to have us revisit that with you at some point in the future later in 2025 for the possible consideration of the use of one time funds for the bridge that would be required to get us to the next budget where we will realize the true cost.”Sanders also said he still wants to hold on to the $22.4 million surplus from FY2024 in case federal programs are cut.“The conversations that are being had in regards to SNAP and Medicaid are real in that they're big,” Sanders said. “And if those cuts were to occur, we will see a number of our constituency impacted directly by that.”Sanders said that while the city is blessed to have a large surplus, it will go very quickly if the local government picks up what had been a federal program.Tonight's meeting to adopt is not the end of the process. Because of a second advertising error, Council still has to hold a public hearing on the tax rates and that will take place at the next regular meeting on April 21. By law, Council cannot adopt those tax rates at that meeting and must wait at least three days. A second special meeting will be held on April 24.I had hoped to tell you more about the next three items by going back to the audio, but I've got to get to the next set of stories:* Sanders had an update on a potential low-barrier shelter. The General Assembly's version of the budget had $1.5 million going to the City of Charlottesville for this purpose, and Youngkin cut this in half. The budget has not yet been finalized and Sanders said Senator Creigh Deeds is still trying to make the case to restore the funding.* Sanders said he believes the city would need to provide operating funds to any grocery that sets up at 501 Cherry Avenue.* There is still a possibility that the city might provide funding for UVA's affordable housing project at 10th and Wertland. They will be asked to submit a request as part of the next funding cycle this fall.Second shout-out: Piedmont Master Gardeners seek items for Green Elephant SaleIf you are cleaning out your garage or basement this winter and have garden implements or yard ornaments you no longer need, the Piedmont Master Gardeners will take them off your handsThe Piedmont Master Gardeners are seeking donations of new and used garden tools, hoses, decorative items, outdoor furniture, and virtually anything else that can be used to maintain or enjoy a home landscape. From February 1 through April 30, these "Green Elephant" donations may be dropped off at 402 Albemarle Square between 10 a.m. and noon on Wednesdays or Saturdays. The Master Gardeners are not able to accept plastic pots or opened chemicals.The Green Elephants will be offered for sale to the public during PMG's Spring Plant Sale, scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 3, at Albemarle Square Shopping Center. Proceeds will support the many free and low-cost horticulture education programs the Piedmont Master Gardeners offer to the community.To arrange a pickup of large items or for more information, contact the Piedmont Master Gardeners at greenelephant@piedmontmastergardeners.org.(image)Council adopts $265.2 million budget after another conversation about transit fundingCharlottesville City Council adopted a $265.2 million budget for the fiscal year that begins on July 1 at a special meeting on April 14 but not before another review and summary from City Manager Sam Sanders. He had introduced a $264,474,183 budget on March 4.“Things have changed a little bit, as it always does, from the proposed date to your adoption date,” Sander saidThere have been five budget work sessions and two public hearings on the document itself, but yet to come is a public hearing on the tax rates for 2025.“What I'll point out to you just in basic highlights, is that the revenue expenditure at this time has now risen to $265,248,446,” Sanders said.The tax rates have not changed for 2025, but another year of growth in assessments has resulted in more revenue. The assessor's office reported an average of a 7.74 percent increase in late January.One spending change in the budget is an additional $600,000 for Charlottesville Area Transit which partially came out of a push for local advocates.“We added a transit mechanic to help with operations,” Sanders said. “We are also maintaining fare free service across the system and absorbing the absence of the flexible federal funds because those funds are now not available to us as they have been.”Other highlights:* There's $5.4 million over the next five years for sidewalk repair and construction* There's $12.7 million in spending on affordable housing initiatives in FY26* The FY26 budget is the first to apply to a fourth collective bargaining unitCity Councilor Michael Payne asked about the status of a $22.4 million surplus from FY2024. Sanders made the decision to keep the amount in reserve and Council has so far agreed. The idea is to keep the money available while a new era for the federal government continues to settle in. He also said he has been meeting with nonprofit groups who have been making presentations on funding they have lost from the federal government.“So they are first trying to recoup what they've spent and hope that they might actually get some continuation,” Sanders said. “So that is beginning to build. We're beginning to see that finally the city organization itself has not incurred a loss. But we still continue to monitor just believing that it's just a matter of time. It's not a matter of if, it is actually a matter of when.”A generally-held practice in municipal budgeting is to not use one-time money such as surpluses to hire staffing.“Something like staffing is not ideal because we can't guarantee that funding to occur year to year,” said City Councilor Natalie Oschrin.The conversation went back to transit. The City of Charlottesville owns Charlottesville Area Transit and has full control of its operations. Albemarle County and Charlottesville have entered into an entity called the Charlottesville Albemarle Regional Transit Authority but so far that is entirely about planning for transit operations.Albemarle Supervisors vote to join Regional Transit Authority, December 15, 2024Charlottesville joins regional transit authority; Council holds first reading on federal transit allocations, December 28, 2024Charlottesville Area Transit has no independent board of directors which makes Council the sole authority over its operations. There had once been an advisory body made up of citizens but that was eliminated sometime during the pandemic.An advocacy group called IMPACT made up of various churches has been pressuring Albemarle and Charlottesville to increase the amount they spent on transit to hire additional drivers. Their specific number has been 82, a number believed to enable Charlottesville Area Transit to increase service.“The solution to long wait times is very straightforward: we need more bus drivers,” reads their website. “Right now, Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) has budgeted 67 drivers. Getting to wait times of half an hour will require at least 80.”In Virginia, cities and counties are completely independent of each other. There are regional services such as that provided by the Rivanna Water and Service Authority, but localities have to adopt budgets independently.IMPACT's public event was held on April 8, over a month into the budget process for Charlottesville and about six weeks after Albemarle County Executive Jeffrey Richardson introduced that locality's budget.At their work session on April 10, City Council indicated they wanted to support IMPACT's request but the timing is not right for the existing budget. They agreed to hold conversations about how to get there shortly after the budget is adopted.Vice Mayor Brian Pinkston and Charlottesville City Council were the two members of Council who went to hear from IMPACT at what they call the Nehemiah Action.“The commitment that the two of us made was to try to get something for this coming the fiscal year that we're working on now, which means some sort of amendment or whatever,” said City Councilor Brian Pinkston.Several members of the group were in attendance at the meeting and Pinkston addressed them directly from the dais and encouraged them to get involved earlier in the budget process.“I want people to know that this is not the end,” Pinkston said. “We heard you last week, we're working on it. And what you're hearing now is the sort of public outworking of the conversations that need to happen.”For over four years of reporting on transit issues, take a look at this tab on Information Charlottesville.Council adopted the budget after a final explanation of last minute changes such as $30,000 for the Tonsler League to help keep it going after Governor Youngkin vetoed an anticipated $250,000 from Virginia's budget.Council will hold a public hearing on the tax rate for 2025 on April 21 and then will hold a special meeting on April 24.Postscript for #850AToday's edition was intended to have additional audio but I ran out of time. Also the podcast edition can be less than half an hour long. The version that airs on WTJU has to be at least 29 minutes long. There was no radio version last week so I'm going to put another story or two in that version from #846-A. Behind the scenes I have quite a bit of organization that allows me to seemingly produce more content than entities with budgets that are much larger than mine. One day there will be more of everything. This is a public episode.

A gem rescued from the archives! We are re-releasing the Toni Morrison episode after cleaning up the audio.Toni Morrison writes about history, slavery, racism, resilience and survival with an unflinching voice. Her novels, once a staple of every American school bookshelf, are now the targets of politically motivated reviews and book bannings. Despite this, there is no getting around the fact that she was one of America's greatest writers. Before her death in 2019, her oeuvre stretched out over almost four decades. Her debut novel, The Bluest Eye, in 1970, already showed her ear for dialogue, and richly expressive depictions of African American struggles. In 2009, she came to Amsterdam on the strength of her book, A Mercy, which made the New York Times Book Review Top Ten of 2008. She read a passage for us from “A Mercy”. Although physically frail, her mind was sharp during her conversation with the Dutch novelist, playwright and translator, Bas Heine (May 20th, 2009 at the Aula of the UvA in Amsterdam).Visit our website for our live programs and other activities.Support the show

Another mind bending podcast. Jennifer had one of her "uncorked" events in Manhattan Beach this past week, and one of the attendees wanted to speak to her pet hamster who had passed away. Jennifer recounts doing that as well as talking to a "tree" in their yard that was ill and about to pass away. We've had multiple conversations both with animals, and with trees (look for "General Sherman" on the podcast. But we've also had a conversation with a dolphin before. (Look for "Edgar Cayce, Doris Stokes and a dolphin" on the podcast. In this one, Luana Anders, my pal on the flipside who passed in 1996 brought forth a dolphin who wanted to speak with us. The construct is this - the dolphin isn't "sitting in our interview chair" but she's able to communicate directly with Jennifer. And since we've interviewed animals before, I try to ask the same questions I ask everyone that shows up in the research. In this case, Luana gave her the name "Samantha" (which could have been a play on my dog Sam that I've spoken to in the past, I don't know, that's Luana's sense of humor.) And Samantha said a number of mind bending things... that only 5% of her conscious energy is outside herself, "the higher consciousness" that is addressing us directly. Generally people report we bring between 20 and 40% of our conscious energy to a lifetime, and that when we have brain issues (dementia, etc) we only have around ten percent or less of our conscious energy. If I was hearing this correctly, Samantha was saying "only 5% of her conscious energy is offstage" - because dolphin don't have the same filters we do. In terms of what was heard or learned; the dolphin consider themselves the "sheriffs" of the sea, as well as the librarians collecting data. That they are aware of everything going on in the ocean. I asked a simple question about Samantha's opinion of humans - she pointed out that a human had saved her mother's life in a previous lifetime (as a shark) and that she appreciate that aspect of humanity. I asked a question about empathy - since a certain person in high places said some comment about "empathy holding back civilization" - and the dolphin replied that "empathy is the only thing that moves civilization forward." Empathy to help others, to heal others, to find a cure for cancer, illness, etc. It's a mind bending answer, but it's a mind bending comment for someone to make - who clearly has no clue how consciousness functions or incarnation works. Samantha reiterated that "animals understand how incarnation works but humans do not." There are many things humans don't get - in terms of other dimensions, and Samantha said she and others kept tabs on that - including those stories of "UAP's (UFO's)" that shift in and out of the water. I know all of this is mind bending - and it's a perfect reason to stop watching the podcast. If one is having a hard time comprehending this information, perhaps a good time to look into the data, research from UVA medical school DOPS lab that shows consciousness is not confined to the brain. Or to examine the clinical case studies of Dr. Wambach, Dr. Brian Weiss or Michael Newton and the Newton Institute in terms of how people can recall previous lifetimes, or how their own incarnations have worked. Truly one of the most mind bending podcasts we've done - and I'm shocked to say it was only 30 minutes of questions and answers. Hope people take this opportunity to research the topic - because we're touching the tip of the iceberg - literally. We don't understand how animals or plants communicate - but we can learn. And this is a way to ask them questions and get answers.
