Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #18

May 10-17 2024

The Justice Department endorses lifting many restrictions on marijuana. Since the 1970s marijuana has been classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, the most restrictive classification for drugs that are highly addictive, dangerous and have no medical use, like heroin. Schedule I drugs are nearly impossible to get approval for research studies greatly hampering attempts to understand marijuana and any medical benefits it may have. The DoJ recommends moving it to Schedule III, drugs with low risk of abuse like anabolic steroids, and testosterone. This will allow for greater research, likely allow medical marijuana, and make marijuana a much less serious offense. President Biden welcomed DoJ's decision, a result a review of policy he ordered. Biden in his message talked about how he's pardoned everyone convicted of marijuana possession federally. The President repeated a phrase he's said many times "No-one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana,"

The Department of Interior announced no new coal mining in America's largest coal producing region. The moratorium on new coal leases has been hailed as the single biggest step so fair toward ending coal in the US. The Powder River Basin area of Wyoming and Montana produces 40% of the nations coal, the whole state of West Virginia is just 14%. The new rule is estimated to reduce emissions by the equivalent of 293 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, the same as taking 63 million gas powered cars off the road.

Vice-President Harris announced that the Biden-Harris Administration had broken records by investing $16 billion in Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Harris, a graduate of Howard University, is the first President or Vice-President to have gone to a HBCU. The Administration's investment of $900 million so far in 2024 brought the total investment of the Biden-Harris administration in HBCUs to $16 billion more than double the record $7 billion. HBCUs produce 40% of black engineers, 50% of black teachers, 70% of black doctors and dentists, and 80% of black judges. HBCUs also have a much better record of helping social mobility and moving people out of generational poverty than other colleges and universities.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development announced $30 billion dollars in renewal funding for the Housing Choice Voucher Program. The program supports 2.3 million families that are in need of housing with vouchers that help pay rent. This funding represents a $2 billion dollar increase over last year.

The Department of Agriculture announced $671.4 million in investments in rural infrastructure. The money will go to project to improve rural electric grids, as well as drinking water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The money will go to 47 projects across 23 states.

HUD announced a record breaking $1.1 billion dollar investment in Tribal housing and community development. HUD plans just over 1 billion dollars for the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program. This is a 40% increase in funding over 2023 and marks the largest ever funding investment in Indian housing. HUD also is investing $75 million in community development, supporting building and rehabbing community buildings in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

The Department of Transportation announced $2 billion in investments in America's busiest passenger rail route, the Northeast Corridor between Washington DC and Boston. This is part of a 15 year, $176 billion plan to rebuild the corridor’s infrastructure and prepare for increased ridership and more trains. So far investments have seen a 25% increase, 7 million riders, over figures last year. a fully funded plan would almost double Amtrak service between New York City and Washington, D.C., and increase service between New York City and Boston by 50%. It would also allow a 60% increase in commuter trains.

HUD announced plans to streamline its HOME program. Currently the largest federal program to help build affordable housing, the streamlining of the rules will speed up building and help meet the Biden Administration's goal of 2 million new affordable housing units. HUD announced last week $1.3 billion dollars for the HOME program, which built 13,000 new units of housing in 2023 and helped 13,000 families with rental assistance

The Department of Interior announced $520 million in new water projects to help protect against drought in the western states. The funding will support 57 water related projects across 18 western states. The projects focus on climate resilience and drought prevention, as well as improving aging water delivery systems, and improving hydropower generation.

The Departments of Agriculture and HHS have stepped up efforts to wipe out the H5N1 virus prevent its spread to humans while protecting farmers livelihoods. The virus is currently effecting dairy cattle in the Texas panhandle region. The USDA and HSS are releasing wide ranging funds to help support farms equipping workers with Personal Protective Equipment, covering Veterinary costs, as well as compensating farmers for lost revenue. HHS and the CDC announced $101 million in testing an monitoring. This early detection and action is key to preventing another Covid style pandemic.

The Senate confirmed Sanket Bulsara to a life time federal judgeship in New York and Eric Schulte and Camela Theeler to lifetime federal judgeships in South Dakota. This brings the total number of judges appointed by President Biden to 197. For the first time in history the majority of a President's judicial nominees have not been white men.

Bonus: The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that transgender health insurance exclusions were illegal. The ruling came from a case first filed in 2019 where an employer refused to cover an employee's gender affirming surgery. The court in its ruling sited new guidance from the Biden Administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that declared that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects trans people in the work place. These kinds of guidelines are often sited in court and carry great weight.

Rome Airport in Italy successfully cooperates with Nanjing AE

Background:

To encourage the purchase of electric vehicles and EV charging stations, the Italian government approved a new incentive measure, which has officially come into effect in 2023. The incentive measure is part of dedicated funding for the automotive industry, with about $8.7 billion expected to be spent in the year 2023-2024 to provide subsidies for the purchase of  vehicles of low-pollution and low-emission and charging infrastructure. The introduction of this incentive measure will inject new vitality into Italian electric vehicle market.

Policy subsidies:

What incentives are there for buying an electric car in Italy?

The most important new content of the electric vehicle incentives announced officially in 2023 include subsidies for the purchase of charging stations and a list of beneficiaries. For example, the long-term rental companies offer double subsidies for those whose income is below 30,000 euros .The total fiscal coverage of electric vehicle incentives in 2023 is $150 million.This move will further expand the user groups of electric vehicles and allow more people to enjoy the convenience and benefits of environmentally friendly travel.

Additionally, further donations are expected to be used to purchase and install electric vehicle charging stations. 40 million euros will be used to subsidize the installation of EV chargers. The policy aims to reduce net emissions to zero by the year 2050 and replace diesel vehicles by 2035 or earlier.

Current status of charging infrastructure:

By the end of 2022 , Italy had 36,772 EV chargers installed at 19,334 charging stations (stations or poles) and 14,048 public locations. Equally important, the output power of charging point is also growing.The number of ultra-fast charging points has been tripled, with the output power ranging from 100kW to 350kW. This improvement measures will greatly improve charging efficiency and meet the growing charging demand. 

The number of charging stations close to city centers and major cities is growing rapidly . There are more than 600 charging stations every 10 kilometers, aiming to solve the charging problem in the popularization of electric vehicles and provide users with more convenient charging services. Motorway charging points increase rapidly compared to the previous year. In one year, the number of charging stations has been quadrupled , with 64% of them having the power of 150kW or more, providing drivers with shorter charging times for long-distance journeys.

Case:

AE system (AEAUTO) signed a batch order of #120kW DC fast charging stations with Italian bus operators in the first half of this year. The EV chargers will be used for the airport internal bus fleet, buses, and luggage transport vehicles, to improve the overall operational efficiency of the airport and make it convenient for passengers. Meanwhile, this will reduce carbon emissions and provides employees with environmentally friendly and efficient charging service.

There are a lot of fleets in Rome airport in Italy. Including land transportation services and passenger and baggage transport vehicles within the airport area, which require dedicated base locations for maintenance and charging. These vehicles play a vital role in airport operations, providing indispensable support for maintaining flight operations and comfortable passenger travel. Therefore, providing efficient charging solutions for these electric ground service vehicles and employee electric vehicles is crucial for airports.

Selection process:

Airport management began looking for the right charging station product to meet their needs. After visiting Nanjing AE(AEAUTO) #charging station samples at an international trade show , they contacted the local dealer and decided to cooperate with AE system . AEAUTO has a high reputation in the field of charging infrastructure and is committed to #providing the best charging solutions to electric vehicle customers. The products not only provide the perfect combination of functionality, efficiency and convenience, but also meet economic efficiency requirements.

Solution:

Nanjing AE (AEAUTO)#electric vehicle charging stations are equipped with #V2G technology, which not only provides fast charging but also enables two-way flow of energy. It can be realized that the electric energy from the line network can be charged into the power battery of the electric vehicle during the low power load period, and the electric energy in the electric vehicle power battery can be fed back to the line network during the peak electric load period. It can help the line network achieve peak-cutting and valley-filling and frequency modulation functions. It is also equipped with multiple charging method options such as #APP/OCPP/RFID; multiple standard insertion guns can be customized, including #CCS/CHAdeMO/GBT; it also has high-efficiency charging capabilities, with a #charging efficiency of up to 97%. It only takes 20 minutes to fully charge. AE system (AEAUTO)#dc charging stations are carefully designed to be durable, reliable and comply with all relevant safety and technical standards. The dealer and installation teams strategically placed these #charging stations in the airport’s on-site parking lots to ensure that the charging needs of ground service electric vehicles and employee electric vehicles are met without affecting daily operations of the airport.

Result:

The AE system(AEAUTO)#dc fast charger was put into use at the Italian airport, it #successfully solved the problem of bus operators charging their bus fleets. In follow-up feedback, the airport management expressed appreciation for Nanjing AE(AEAUTO) #fleet charging solution and believed that the solution complies with international charging standards and regulatory requirements. It not only helps reduce carbon emissions and is in line with the airport's sustainable development goals , but also meets their economic needs .The customer expressed great satisfaction with this cooperation.

The 6B07 Newsletter (Issue 3, 2024-08-24)

Welcome again to the 6B07 newsletter, courtesy of your elected representative to Advisory Neighborhood Commission single member district 6B07, Vince Mareino.  If you don’t want to get any future emails, just reply "unsubscribe".

School News

Our two DCPS schools, Watkins and Payne, will start the new school year on Monday, August 26.  Watkins’s Principal Berkowitz asked me to let you know that the school is adjusting the drop-off and pick-up protocol, in response to our concerns that last year’s policy wasn’t safe for pedestrians.  Morning drop-off and aftercare pick-up will now revert to the old system, where any drivers dropping off kids should use the DDOT-designated spots on 12th St SE.  The 3:15-3:30 pick-up will keep using the controversial system of requiring parents to fetch their kids from the football field.  However, the school is going to ask drivers to park on all four sides of the school instead of encouraging them to crowd their cars onto E St SE.  The school is also going to have staff stand at the intersection of 12th & E and prohibit cars from driving eastbound on the 1200 block of E St SE from 3:15-3:30.  My assessment is that this won’t be as safe as the good old days when the DC government provided shuttle bus service, but it should be a heck of a lot safer than the 2023-24 school year was.  Neighbors, let me know what you see, especially after the inevitable first-week jitters wear off and parents learn the system.

Payne is in the process of finishing up an ambitious gardening project.  I know a lot of people have been complaining that, for most of the summer, 14th St SE has had a malarial puddle of muddy water, while 15th St SE has been so dry that some bushes have died.  But they’re working on it, and I’m expecting it’ll look great in a month or so.

Gardening News

An invasive species, the spotted lanternfly, has the potential to harm a lot of local plants.  If you’ve seen any, please contact DDOT Urban Forestry!  The contact form – along with photos and other helpful info about the spotted lanternfly – can be found at https://trees.dc.gov/pages/invasive-species-spotted-lantern-fly .

Home Repair News

The new DC Dept of Buildings, which took over housing permits from the DCRA, is trying to make it easier to get permission to do simple home repairs like repairing your porch, installing new outlets, or replacing gas appliances with electric ones. Many of these repairs can be done with a “postcard” permit, which usually cost $33.  What you might not know is that you can get these postcard permits in a couple minutes without getting out of your pajamas – just go to https://dob.dc.gov/node/1616046 .

Driving Safety News

DDOT plans to rebuild 8th St SE, just like how they rebuilt Pennsylvania Ave SE, to make it safer and easier to use for drivers, pedestrians, bikers, and especially bus riders.  ANC 6B has worked with them on the first planning phase, and now they’re entering the proposal phase.  Read more at https://buspriority.ddot.dc.gov/pages/8thstse or attend the ANC 6B Transportation Meeting at 7 pm on Sept 4th.

ANC Meeting News

Last but not least, we’re ending the summer vacation and getting back to business.  Here’s our busy schedule over the next two weeks:

Monday August 26, 6:30 pm – Library Task Force, https://anc6b.org/meetings/august-southeast-library-taskforce-meeting/

Reliable EV Charging Station for Outdoor

In terms of electric vehicle sales, Sweden continues to maintain its leading position in the world: the sales penetration rate is 60%, behind only Norway. That number is likely to continue to rise as Sweden pledges to ban the sale of new internal combustion engine cars by 2030. Moreover, duty-free workplace charging of electric vehicles (EV) is a tax incentive policy decided by the Swedish government on May 31, 2023, to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and support the development of charging infrastructure. This policy change will have a significant impact on Sweden's electric vehicle market as it will provide financial benefits to employees, reduce CO2 emissions and make electric vehicles more popular.

Cumulative car registrations in Europe in 2023

As can be seen from the figure, new car registrations in the Swedish auto market in the third quarter increased by 13.8% compared to last year, of which pure electric vehicles accounted for 41.9%. It can be seen that the electric vehicle craze in this country has been going on for several months, but the growth rate of 57.5% is still amazing, increasing the market share by 11.6 percentage points in just one year. Moreover, the sales of gasoline vehicles and diesel vehicles showed a downward trend locally, with a decrease of 4.1% and 18.8% respectively. Judging from the cumulative data for 2023, new registrations of passenger cars increased by 2.4% within one year, totaling 209,343 units, of which pure electric vehicles accounted for 38.8%, an increase of 10.4 percentage points from the first nine months of 2022. 

What are the commonly used electric cars in Sweden? According to official statistics, in the first seven months of 2023, the number of electric vehicles in Sweden increased by 13.8% compared with last year. In the first half of this year, this business grew 57.5% year-on-year. As of August this year, the top three sales of pure electric vehicles are Tesla Model Y Volvo, followed by Volkswagen. It can be seen that Tesla occupies a major position in the Swedish electric vehicle market.

The 60-160kW fast DC electric vehicle charging piles produced by AEAUTO can not only meet the needs of local customers for electric vehicle charging technology in the region but also adapt to the needs of various local models. Not only does the product have a 97% efficient charging capacity,but it can fully charge your electric car and set off within 20 minutes, allowing you to enjoy a pleasant journey! It also supports multiple charging methods such as APP/OCPP/RFID, making the charging process more convenient.

At the same time, AEAUTO has newly launched 60-160kW V2G ev charging piles, which not only provide fast charging but also enable a two-way flow of energy. It can be realized that the electric energy from the line network can be charged into the power battery of the electric vehicle during the low power load period, and the electric energy in the electric vehicle power battery can be fed back to the line network during the peak electric load period. It can help the line network achieve peak-cutting and valley-filling frequency modulation functions. Whether it is local office buildings, hospitals, schools, logistics centers, car repair shops, or supermarkets, AEAUTO's ev charging piles provide one-stop electric vehicle charging services. Therefore, whether at work or shopping, it can fully meet all customers' fast charging station needs for electric vehicles, thereby improving charging efficiency and saving time and cost.

Motobyo Launches Crowdfunded Capital Raise Campaigns with Netcapital and Fundable

Motobyo, the tech-driven used car marketplace designed for everyday consumers, not dealers, today launched two crowdfunded capital raise campaigns for individual investors with industry leaders Netcapital and Fundable.

The auto industry tech leader is raising $4 million to power the future growth of Motobyo, including expansion into other regions of the United States.

Interested investors can view up-to-the-minute updates on Motobyo starting today on Netcapital at https://netcapital.com/companies/motobyo and on Fundable at https://www.fundable.com/motobyo.

Motobyo’s founders committed $1.1 million in capital investment to support itds early pre-launch efforts and then raised $2.5 million in additional funds to support the Company’s August 2022 beta launch in the Greater Philadelphia DMA.

During that beta launch, Motobyo gained greater brand awareness and organic customer growth with increasing use of its online auction marketplace that connects used car sellers and buyers.

“We are pleased with the traction of the business during our beta launch,” said Ron Averett, Chief Executive Officer of Motobyo. “We are already experiencing more than 3,500 individuals requesting our vehicle liquidation services monthly. Although our primary focus has been on the Philadelphia DMA we have been actively conducting tests nationally and now have account holders in more than 40 states across the country. Looking ahead, we see a clear roadmap to accelerate our expansion and growth.”

Providing services and products to everyday consumers that are traditionally associated with automobile dealerships, Motobyo’s national partnership network includes Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus and Wheel Works, Meineke, Midas and Your Mechanic (car inspection and service); Credible (financing); The Zebra (insurance); Acertus (titling); Carfax and AutoCheck (car history); Ekata (customer ID verification); and uShip (vehicle transport).

Motobyo has also partnered with over 30 Philadelphia-area dealers as buying centers to support its cash offer solution.

Plans for 2023 include more focused expansion beyond the Philadelphia DMA into other markets, including all of Pennsylvania, North Jersey and New York as well as metro markets such as Baltimore, DC / northern Virginia, Chicago, Dallas, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Birmingham and more.

“While the general theme of the business this year will be on expansion, our overriding focus will continue to be on demonstrating how Motobyo can assist vehicle sellers in maximizing their value and providing our buyers access to a fantastic selection of inventory,” Averett said.

Motobyo enables private party individuals to buy and sell vehicles, without the typical inefficiencies associated with the used car industry. Empowering both sides of the transaction, sellers get top dollar value without leaving money on the table, while buyers have access to services typically only provided by a dealer.

Providing a platform unparalleled in the used car industry – Motobyo is directly connecting vehicle supply to demand – saving time, avoiding the normal hassles and headaches and providing consumers with value not available anywhere else in the industry.

Karen: 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric Ultimate

With Albert the Audi out of service for a whining coming from the rear motor, I was finally cornered into the reality that we needed a second road car in our household. Since this was going to be “my” car, input from my husband was neither required nor desired. 

Service Stats

In Service Date: 1/28/2023 In Service Mileage: 18,353 Current Mileage (Jan 2023): 18,353 Out of Service Date: -- Out of Service Mileage: -- Service Life: ongoing Avg. Miles/yr: ?

The History & Story

My husband and I had been sharing a single out of town car, our 2019 Audi etron named Albert, for over two years when the fates stepped in and let me know it was time to have a plan B. With the Audi sitting at the dealer waiting for repair and a Turo experience that went to hell in a handbasket, it became clear that we needed another out of town vehicle that we could depend on. Enter Karen, a lightly used 2019 Kona Electric Ultimate with head up display, ventilated seats, and a heated steering wheel -- finally, I get to have a heated steering wheel!

So why the name Karen? Well, when we arrived at the dealer the 12v was dead. The dealer put in a new aftermarket 12v and the car starts, but it also has a dead HV battery. They push it up the hill to their 50kW DC charger and charge it up so that I can take it for a test run. After buying the car, my best friend Brad and I had intended on taking the forgotten birthday gift my husband left at the house up to my father-in-law. Except that one of Karen’s fobs had a dying battery and would randomly set off the alarm. While we were charging in Greensboro to make it up to Virginia, the alarm went off. I hit the unlock button on the door and the alarm stopped, so I closed the door. Seconds later the lights blinked and the car had locked itself. Luckily this car has roadside until Oct/2024, so they sent AAA out to pop the lock. This delay killed our plans to go to my father-in-law’s birthday dinner. As a result, this car is a Karen because only a Karen would ask to speak to the manager (alarm going off) while being fed (she was charging).

Karen’s seen less than 700 miles so far, but her efficiency is magical: 3.6 to 4.2 miles per kWh - we averaged 4.0mi/kWh running 70MPH with the adaptive cruise control set and the heat at 68F coming home from Greensboro. I took a trip to Winston-Salem and saw the coldgating of 56kW until around 70% with the temps only in the 40s (overnight was lower and car was left unplugged). I have a lot of learning to do with this car, and I’m slated to go to Florida for work any day now... so it won’t be long before I know how she does on a truly long trip.

A Couple Dumbasses Courting (ao3) - Takara_Phoenix clint/tony T, 3k

Summary: Tony always thought that Clint was a huge fan of AC/DC. That’s why he always stayed in the lab, regardless of how loud Tony’s music was, even when others had long since fled the scene. Now, he learns that that’s not entirely true. Or, well, not at all actually.

Afterimage (ao3) - everythingispoetry pepper/tony, background clint/phil T, 143k

Summary: Sometimes, people and objects just suddenly appear and it's frightening.

as they learned to see (ao3) - often_adamanta steve/tony T, 11k

Summary: Tony stayed silent through her terse explanation, anger growing. When Natasha was finished, he asked, “So you’re telling me that Steve’s been missing for almost two months, most likely kidnapped by an unknown organization, a force which employs two brilliant but completely crazy scientists that hate Stark Industries because they were refused jobs on the basis of their psych evals, and I’m only hearing about this now?”

Begin Again (ao3) - maikurosaki steve/bucky T, 42k

Summary: Breaking up with the love of his life? Gut-wrenching. Believe him, Bucky knows what he is talking about. After all, he is the guy that lost his arm in a terrible car accident, went through intense and painful physiotherapy, and almost lost his dream of becoming a professional engineer.

But life has a funny way of mocking Bucky's plans. When an accident brings the said love of his life back into his life, Bucky isn't surprised to notice that his feelings aren't as buried as he thought they were. However, there's just as much resentment and pain, not to mention a secret or two, and Bucky doesn't think he can be brave again. Not when it comes to Steve Rogers. Not when he might get his heart broken all over again. – Or the one in which Bucky and Steve try to find their way back to each other.

Bright Eyes (ao3) - NotEvenCloseToStraight clint/tony T, 3k

Summary: After being hurt in a fight, Tony ends up temporarily blind and tries to hide it from the team so they don't worry.

Clint is the only one to notice, and an honest conversation between the two about exactly how much Tony matters to the team leads to unexpected kisses.

caring accomodations (ao3) - punyparker G, 59k

Summary: Peter Stark starts his first year at Midtown alongside his service dog, Friday.

(Don't Wanna Be) All By Myself (ao3) - Tito11 steve/tony T, 3k

Summary: In which Tony is deaf, but that was never really the problem.

"Get Up, Steve" (ao3) - NataliaJane steve/tony G, 3k

Summary: After a tragic accident during a mission Steve Rodgers falls into a temporary paralysis. Not only does his condition leave him feeling alone and depressed, his marriage with Tony and relationship with their son falls apart. Three simple words help Steve realize what he's about to loose if he doesn't make a change "Get up, Steve"

Half the Man I Used To Be But Twice the Man I Was (ao3) - pengke T, 68k

Summary: What if Tony Stark suffered more than just shrapnel injuries in Afghanistan? What if he came home less than whole? A series of open-ended, non-linear ficlets focusing on the butterfly effect of Stark's disability.

I Don't Want the World to See Me (ao3) - AngeNoir tony/thor G, 5k

Summary: Tony has a secret, one that is harder and harder to keep from observant teammates.

Lucky Pennies (ao3) - IamShadow21 clint/phil G, 6k

Summary: In Clint Barton's official SHIELD file, there is a supplemental form with a string of letters and numbers indicating a superhuman ability. On it, there are two pieces of information. The first is 'Asset-Reported Ability (unverified)'. The second is 'Combat/Field Applicable Ability Y/N'. 'N' is circled.

Signs of Life (ao3) -aven_garde steve/tony, bruce/natasha, bucky/clint M, 40k

Summary: Tony Stark gets thrown into a new world when a one- night stand ends with him having a son. When it's discovered that Peter is deaf due to his mother's mistakes while pregnant, Tony vows to become the father he never had. Fortunately, he's got the Avengers to step up as a team— and a family.

Slips Like Sighs (ao3) - felinefelicitations loki/steve G, 5k

Summary: They've just got a new long-term patient scheduled, and the care plans already been decided, gone over with family—an older brother. Steve's looked at the file and the charts: car accident, lawyer, some brain damage, and some damage to his left side.

Take All The Courage (ao3) - prettybirdy979 T, 16k

Summary: When what should have been a straight forward mission in Hell's Kitchen goes pear shaped due to lack of communication, teaching his teammates sign language seems like a logical step to Clint. Communication when their comms are down - great plan! And including the local vigilante, who's been working closely with them on this, is a real no-brainer.

Until it turns out said vigilante is an asshole that thinks sign language is beneath him, judging by the way he's stubbornly refusing to learn it.

(Conversely - Matt's trying, he really is but damn it, those two signs are exactly the same... what do you mean they mean completely different things?!)

The Problem With Communication (ao3) - itsallAvengers steve/tony T, 3k

Summary: Steve is terrible at flirting, but when he finally picks up the courage to talk to the adorable barista who makes his drinks, he finds himself hitting a small snag:

That being, Tony is deaf. He doesn't know what Steve is saying.

But never say Steve Rogers does not rise to a challenge.

Thumb, Index, and Pinky Extended (ao3) - Eudoxia steve/tony N/R, 4k

Summary: Tony Stark is twenty-one when he loses his voice. It shouldn't matter, but in a world where the first words your Soulmate says to you are marked on your skin, it can be pretty damn annoying.

Undertones and Overtures (ao3) - RockSaltAndRoll steve/bucky E, 106k

Summary: In which Steve is deaf and Bucky is an amputee.

Bucky Barnes is studying for his masters in Music Composition at Juilliard when he unexpectedly meets skinny little artist Steve Rogers in a book store one Saturday. They both have their issues and it’s going to take a lot to understand each other, but with a little help from friends and family, they might be able to make this work.

You Make Me Feel.. (ao3) - instagrims (hermanwazlib), kalika_999 steve/bucky M, 21k

Summary: All Steve wanted was to take a breather, decompress after a mission and go out for a jog in the rain. He wasn't expecting to hide out in a bookstore filled with new and used books or that the employee that worked there thought he was an absolute loser and didn't even realize he was insulting Captain America.

ABB To Power First Fully Electric US Tugboat For Zero-Emission Operations

ABB will deliver an integrated electric propulsion system and advanced vessel control technology for Crowley’s pioneering eWolf tug, built for sustainable and safe operations at the Port of San Diego.

Upon delivery by Alabama-based shipbuilder Master Boat Builders, Inc. (MBB) in mid-2023, Crowley Maritime Corporation’s new 82-foot (25-meter) vessel will support ship arrivals and departures at the Port of San Diego in California. It will be the first all-electric, battery-powered harbor tug ever built and operated in the United States and only the third of its kind to enter operations worldwide.

Tug operations can be demanding and often need to adapt to fast-changing load requirements. Batteries provide power to the propulsion system almost instantaneously, making ship-assist operations more efficient with no emissions while delivering reliable ship assist and harbor escort services.

Image Credits: crowley.com

Under a contract with MBB, ABB is supplying the end-to-end electric propulsion system to sustain emissions-free operations in waters off the eighth most populous city in the United States. The solution will include a six-megawatt-hour energy storage system (ESS), allowing Crowley’s eWolf tug to achieve 70 short-tons of bollard pull emissions-free. The battery allows the tug to complete a full day of typical work before there is a need to charge.

Achieving lower operational costs on a through-life basis than an equivalent vessel running a conventional engine, the all-electric propulsion solution holds the potential to eliminate the equivalent of over 100 cars worth of CO2 pollution every year, according to ABB.

The new vessel will embody Crowley’s commitment to sustainable shipping solutions going forward.

“The eWolf’s innovative propulsion system and advanced control technology will provide a sustainable ship assist solution with increased safety and capabilities,” said Crowley’s Porter Sesnon, director, business development for ship assist and offshore services. “Crowley looks forward to working with ABB and Master Boat Builders to deliver this groundbreaking ship assist tug and to provide customers in San Diego with a zero-emission, high-performing vessel.”

Systems on board will also feature products from the ABB Ability

Marine Pilot family for enhancing crew safety and reducing workload. ABB Ability

Marine Pilot Vision situational awareness solution will provide 360-degree visibility from the pilot’s station, and ABB Ability

Marine Control will enable maneuvering support and future remote operations.

“At ABB, we are pioneering the adoption of electric, digital and connected technologies for greater sustainability in the Americas and globally, as well as helping shipowners deploy the automated systems that advance maritime safety,” said David Lee, Senior Account Manager – Commercial Vessels, ABB Marine & Ports. “It is an honor to have been selected by Crowley – a company renowned for reliability in service provision, whose goals on the environment and safety align so closely with our own.”

In addition to systems integration, engineering and automation on the newbuilding, ABB will supply the award-wining Onboard DC Grid

power distribution system platform for optimized energy use. Onboard DC Grid

enables seamless integration of battery for zero-emissions operations by using renewables as an energy source. The full scope of supply also includes propulsion motors, low-voltage switchboards, transformers, li-ion batteries, mechanical L-drive thrusters and the ABB Ability

Remote Diagnostics System for Marine for continuous equipment monitoring and predictive maintenance.
