Fundraising Frenzy: Tim Walz Boosts Harris Campaign

Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, is turning heads with his fundraising efforts for Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. Coming from a rural district with initially limited high-dollar donor networks, Walz has become an asset, raking in up to $2 million per fundraiser. With just weeks before the election, Harris' team is ramping up Walz's fundraising push, focusing on expensive ground organizing in battleground states. What implications do you think Walz's newfound fundraising prowess will have on the upcoming election? Can this boost truly make a difference in crucial rural areas? Let's discuss!

Tricycle

Tricycles are a vital part of life in Codoog, Narvacan. Located 3 km. from the main municipality, Codoog is a rural area where the pace of life is slower, and the community is close-knit. In this setting, tricycles serve as the primary means of transportation, providing a convenient and accessible way to travel within the town and to nearby areas.

Life in Codoog revolves around agriculture and community. Families work the fields, growing rice, vegetables, and fruits, while others raise livestock or run small-scale businesses. Despite its rural charm, getting around can be a challenge without reliable transportation. This is where tricycles come in, connecting people to work, school, or social events.

Growing up in Codoog, commuting to school in town was part of my daily routine. During grades 5-6, and throughout high school, I traveled with my Lola Elen everyday by tricycle, who has since passed away. Those journeys hold a special place in my heart because they were more than just a commute; they were moments spent with someone I cherished. Wether we were chatting about school or just enjoying the ride, those trips were filled with warmth and connection.

Tricycles play an important role in the community's social life. The annual fiesta celebraring Our Lady of Fatima, held on May 13 is a vibrant time filled with parade, music, and traditional dances. Tricycles are busy shuttling families and visitors to and from the festivities. It's a day when everyone comes together and the tricycles symbolize the movement and energy of the celebration.

While tricycles are essential for commuting, Codoog faces challenges such as limited access to education and healthcare. Commuting to school in town can be lengthy and sometimes difficult journey. However, the presence of tricycles makes these commutes possible offering a practical solution to transportation needs. They are a testament to the community's resourcefulness and adaptability.

Beyond their practical use, tricycles represent the strong connections within the community. Although Lola Elen is no longer with us, the memories of our daily rides to school or at her local store are a reminder of the deep bonds that tricycles can foster. Wether it's commuting to school, work, or family gatherings, tricycles bring people together, allowing families and friends to stay conneted despite the rural setting.

In Codoog, tricycles are more than just transportation-they are a bridge between places and people. The memories of commuting to school with Lola Elen remind me of the enduring spirit of our community and the essential role tricycles play in our daily lives. Wether it's the daily commute or the excitement of the annual fiesta, tricycles are a symbol of the resilience and connection that define my home town.

Thank you for reading. Until next time, salamat and see you soon!

Niantic Labs' Remote Raid Limitations in Pokémon GO: A Contradiction to Sustainability, Inclusion, and Player Concerns

Niantic Labs, the creator of the widely popular augmented reality (AR) game Pokémon GO, has recently decided to impose a remote raid limitation of 5 raids per day. This controversial move has not only been met with discontent from the Pokémon GO community but also raises questions about the company's commitment to global sustainability objectives and the values they present to investors. Players argue that the imposed limitations will force them to use their cars to travel between raids, potentially increasing carbon emissions. Additionally, the decision seems to contradict Niantic Labs' focus on "inclusion," "empowerment of people," "social impact," and "diversity," as a significant portion of the player base consists of individuals living in rural areas, those with disabilities, or players who cannot participate in raids physically.

Ignoring the Pokémon GO Community

Despite widespread dissatisfaction from the Pokémon GO community, Niantic Labs has refused to engage in a dialogue with players regarding the remote raid limitations. This decision further exacerbates the issue, as it demonstrates a lack of consideration for the player base's concerns and the potential negative consequences of their actions. The company's unwillingness to listen and respond to feedback may lead to a loss of trust and loyalty among their users.

Sustainability Concerns

By imposing remote raid limitations, Niantic Labs has unintentionally encouraged players to use their vehicles to drive between raids. This increase in car usage contributes to greater carbon emissions, directly contradicting global sustainability objectives. By discouraging remote play, Niantic Labs fails to recognize the environmental consequences of their decision and the potential harm it may cause.

Inclusion and Diversity Issues

Niantic Labs has presented itself as a company that values inclusion, empowerment, social impact, and diversity. However, the imposed remote raid limitations disproportionately affect players in rural areas, those with disabilities, and players who cannot participate in raids physically. These individuals may have limited access to raids or find it challenging to locate fellow players to team up with. By limiting remote raids, Niantic Labs is effectively excluding a significant portion of their player base, contradicting the values they claim to uphold.

Conclusion

Niantic Labs' decision to impose remote raid limitations in Pokémon GO has sparked widespread discontent among the player community and raised questions about the company's commitment to sustainability, inclusion, and diversity. The lack of communication and consideration for the concerns of their player base is disappointing, and the decision contradicts the values they present to investors. Niantic Labs should reconsider their stance on remote raid limitations and engage in a dialogue with the Pokémon GO community to ensure that their actions align with the values they claim to champion.

''The Shamgarh Project''

The Shamgarh project is all about providing educational support to rural students by TUTOR CABIN. As part of the Shamgarh project, we will provide courses in PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, CAREER COUNSELING, and IIT-JEE. Education boosts a person’s ability to lead group of people successfully and effectively since it gives them more information, confidence, skills, and experience. Urban areas are the place of high population, better education, better standard, and so on. On the other hand rural areas are the complete opposite of urban areas, having low population and standards of living is not that good, lack of quality education quality.so we are specially launching this project for rural students. This helps bridge the educational divide and creates more equitable access to quality education. We will support rural kids for equality just as we do with urban students. here are the main key components of the project:

Personality Development: the importance of personality development is felt in schools and colleges. Personality development is not a difficult task if started at an early age. As a student, studying in college the ideal moment to being developing your personality. The process of personality development is to improve your characteristics, such as personality, attitude, and behavior, to stand out from the crowd. Personality development is the combination of verbal and physical traits.

Entrepreneurship: Teaching entrepreneurship is a valuable skill, especially in today's rapidly changing world. It can empower students to become self-reliant, start their own businesses, and contribute to economic growth in their communities. In rural areas students are not aware about entrepreneurship and its advantages and disadvantages therefore this course will help them to choose if they should greenlight their idea or not.

Career Counselling: Career counselling is essential for guiding students in making informed decisions about their academic and professional paths. It can help them identify their strengths, interests, and suitable career options. As students in rural areas have no idea about which career to choose as they have nobody to guide them. Therefore career counselling will help them to choose the best career option for them.

IIT-JEE: Providing coaching for the Indian Institutes of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) is an excellent opportunity for students who aspire to pursue engineering careers. It can be a pathway to some of India's top engineering institutions. Students in rural areas find it difficult to pursue higher education or the best coaching institute therefore offering this course will help them.

The Shamgarh project appears to have a well-rounded approach, addressing various aspects of education. It can have a positive impact on the lives of the students it aims to serve and contribute to their overall development and success. It's important to approach such a project with a clear plan and a commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of the students to support. Additionally, engaging with local communities and stakeholders can help tailor your programs to better meet the specific needs and challenges of rural areas.

#JamesDonaldson On #MentalHealth – The Fight To Stop #Veteran #Suicides in Montana

By: Ryan Gamboa GREAT FALLS — In Montana’s #VeteransAffairs 2020 Biennial Report, 92,244 Montanans served in the #UnitedStates Military. Of those 92,000, 9,000 are #women and 83,000 are #male, 45,000 of those #veterans are 65 years of age or older. Nationwide, 40% of the #veteran population is struggling with some sort of #mentalhealthissue. “Montana in particular, it's known that Montana has a high rate of #suicide,” explained Dr. Robert Connell, Associate Chief of Staff for #MentalHealth for Montana Veterans Affairs Division. A major point of emphasis for the Montana #VeteransAffairs #MentalHealth Team is to diminish the rate of completed #suicides in the Treasure State. Montana has a population of nearly 100,000 #veterans. “We had a spike in 2022 of #veteran #suicides (death by #suicide) in Montana… we expect to see a continued decline over time.” Dr. Connell says that the first way to eliminate #suicide #stigma in Montana is the begin talking about #suicide. “We want our #healthcareproviders, our friends, and our family to ask about #suicide. There is a misconception out there, that if I ask someone if they’re having thoughts of #suicide, that it might put the thought of #suicide in their minds, and that is not true.” Dr. Connell went on to add, “If we ask about it then we can direct the individual where to get treatment for that.” Last summer, Montana and national #healthcareproviders implemented a universal #suicideprevention hotline, 9-8-8. The #988 #SuicideHotline is a free service to those in crisis and each certified provider on the other end is stationed at service centers throughout the state. The service is anonymous, the providers on the other line keep track of the phone numbers, take notes, and implement in a database so if there is a call from an individual in the future, their past crises are available to the specialist. “They can then provide the information with the Montana VA, and we can provide them with the proper care they need.” Connell shared. Dial #988 for immediate crisis care. Anonymous. Compassionate. Life-saving. In 2016, the State of Montana reported that 47,000 of the state #veteran population are VA members. As Montanans are aware, health care can be few and far between in #ruralareas, sometimes an hour's drive to and from. With the new virtual work #patients live in access to virtual healthcare has become a reality. That’s where the USAA comes into play. “We serve 13 million military families every single day. We help build military family resilience. We work on their financial security, and we hear from our members about how else we can help. This problem has been one they've said to us like there's something we need to lean in and go try to make a difference with,” explained President and CEO of USAA, Wayne Peacock. Peacock has been with USAA since 1988 and was named CEO in 2020, he’s been a strong advocate for military families in more ways than one. A new collaborative effort of corporations, foundations, and non-profit and #veteran-focused organizations is raising awareness of #veteran #suicide. The national initiative is called, Face The Fight, founded by the USAA, in partnership with The Humana Foundation and Reach Resilience, and Endeavors Foundation, which has committed an initial $40 million dollars to the #mentalhealth initiative. The funds are going to support programs that align with public health best practices for #suicideprevention and data from the #DepartmentofVeteransAffairs. Face the Fight will join alongside, amplify, and complement the substantial efforts of the VA, Department of Defense, White House, and other departments. “Through some of the work that we're doing, extend the care, through a virtual setting or through, physical, I think that can make a really big difference,” said Peacock. When #mentalhealth becomes a problem for an individual, they tend to feel alone and lack the hope to carry on. The most important thing for someone to remember is that you’re not alone. #James Donaldson notes:Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space.  #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticleFind out more about the work I do on my 501c3 non-profit foundationwebsite www.yourgiftoflife.org Order your copy of James Donaldson's latest book,#CelebratingYourGiftofLife: From The Verge of Suicide to a Life of Purpose and Joy www.celebratingyourgiftoflife.com You are not alone, #veteran or not. Andre Rush, a former Master Sergeant in the US Army, is a former White House Chef, serving during the Clinton and Trump administrations. He is a longtime advocate for #veteran #mentalhealth and acknowledges that he too struggles with #PTSD. Rush is not the typical face of #mentalhealthstruggles. He is a #man that appears strong on the cover but remains human beneath. Large biceps and a bench press don’t outweigh the burden the mind can impose on an individual. Recognizing that even for himself, tomorrow may never come. “It is a #pandemic on an astronomical account then we must take accountability for, and it starts with us. We must take accountability for ourselves and not just think we're okay or look at a person and shun them. Because how many times have you had a call where you just say, ‘You know what, you'll be all right. Don't worry about it until tomorrow.’ Sometimes tomorrow never comes and that's one thing we’ve got to always remember.” If you or someone is struggling with the thought of #suicide, the #NationalCrisisHotline is available to you at no cost. Dial 9-8-8 and an operator will be with you in 90 seconds. For more information regarding Face the Fight, visit the We Face The Fight website. Read the full article
