 Quote: "With the proliferation of social media platforms and devices vying for our attention, a growing number of people are looking for ways to help them resist the urge to continually check notifications and scroll through social media feeds.

This has seen a surge in popularity this year of an approach to productivity called "monk mode". This involves dedicating yourself to a single task with no tech or other distractions.
The term has gone viral on TikTok, where videos marked with the hashtag #monkmode now have more than 77 million views, up from 31 million in May."

 Quote: "FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) this fall.

The national test will consist of two portions, testing WEA and EAS capabilities. Both tests are scheduled to begin at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

The WEA portion of the test will be directed to all consumer cell phones. This will be the third nationwide test, but the second test to all cellular devices. The test message will display in either English or in Spanish, depending on the language settings of the wireless handset.

The EAS portion of the test will be sent to radios and televisions. This will be the seventh nationwide EAS test.

FEMA and the FCC are coordinating with EAS participants, wireless providers, emergency managers and other stakeholders in preparation for this national test to minimize confusion and to maximize the public safety value of the test.

The purpose of the Oct. 4 test is to ensure that the systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level. In case the Oct. 4 test is postponed due to widespread severe weather or other significant events, the back-up testing date is Oct. 11."

 1974 Chevy Camaro (bought in 1991.) Leaked enough oil to be placed on the EPA list for hazardous cleanup sites; the radiator also leaked (a temp fix was me pouring some thick, gel substance into it) and before I started it up (and half the time that was after it stalled out in a busy intersection) I had to manually reopen the airway to the carburetor by sticking my fingers in it to push open the flappy metal hinge things ( when closed, no airflow. No airflow, no start.)

 @85e04cce I’m in the 716. I do have family in 585. 
 When the Winged Hussars arrived under the leadership of King Jan III  Sobieski  (of  POLAND) and vanquished the Turks at the gates of Vienna; thus turning back the Moslen Horde intent on conquering Europe. 

Hence, we have the Memorial of the Holy Name of Mary, for it was in Our Lady's Name the Poles fought.
