GA Governor’s Race
INTRO: Voters in Georgia will decide whether they want Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson or Democratic candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms as their state’s next leader. Speaking at a campaign event in Walton County … Jackson argues why he should be elected. ACK: Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson TAG: Bottoms has touted her experience as mayor of Atlanta … and has campaigned on fixing affordability and health care issues in the state. Polls suggest the race is close.
Jackson Spotlights Bonds Linking Jews, Christians
Editor’s Note: The AJT invited Keisha Lance Bottoms to submit an Op-Ed, reminded her campaign of the deadline, and followed up with her campaign several days before press deadline. Bottoms still intends to publish her Op-Ed that will appear on the AJT website. Amid the hustle and bustle of my campaign for governor of Georgia, I got a text one morning early this year that made my week. The message showed a picture of young adult Georgians getting baptized in the Jordan River.
Colorado To Pay $1.5M To Anti-LGBTQ Hate Group
Part of me says - yeah, I don't bake the best cakes, but I have been told they taste good and setting that up sounds great! I'm sure at least some folks would put up with my decent-but-not-great cakes for the cause. But the other part of me says I'm pretty broke and can't afford the legal battles. That's the big problem, the bigots have major groups with massive funding behind them. If there were an equivalent group to the ADF, I'd apply..

Foster Youth Are Sleeping in Jails, Offices, and Hotels Thanks to Flawed Federal Reforms
The highest-needs children in America's foster care system will go to bed tonight in jail despite not facing criminal charges. Luckier kids will be assigned a budget hotel room. Others will wedge a cot or inflatable mattress between cubicles or beside a conference table. This is what it means to be a foster kid with complex behavioral, mental, and physical needs in a funding and regulatory climate that leaves state child welfare agencies with no good options.
Foster Youth Are Sleeping in Jails, Offices, and Hotels Thanks to Flawed Federal Reforms
'Kids raised by single mothers end up in jail at staggeringly high rates' is a statement we've heard quite a few times from the mouths of so-called yet mostly followed male influencers. People go to a degree of believing it as a fact with 'statistics' and 'research' backing it up. However, one father is here to eradicate this myth. Brent-who goes by @expatriarch on TikTok-points out that such information is utterly fallacious and deeply rooted in misogyny.
Use an Advisory Board to Benefit a Business
We can probably all agree that many businesses often operate with scarce resources and limited expertise, sometimes making it challenging to navigate complex business decisions. However, if a business owner had the opportunity to solve this problem by consulting a team of experts solely dedicated to providing guidance based on previous experiences, wouldn’t they take it? I am sure most business owners would be eager for that type of access. Fortunately, it’s possible.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park Opening Boston Mill Visitor Center

It opens to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, with grand opening activities continuing through the weekend.
A Homegrown Empire: Heinen's Celebrates 90 Years
For many of us in Cleveland, "groceries" means Heinen's. And for the Heinen family, it all started with meat. Later came peanut butter, then donuts... eventually, vegetables and grains. From that one location, there are now 23 Heinen's grocery stores serving communities in Northeast Ohio, and suburban Chicago. Generations of Clevelanders know of no other way to shop for groceries -- Heinen's being as much a part of the fabric of this city as the West Side Market, Playhouse Square, or Severance Hall.
Future Still Foggy For Akron’s Homeless As Illegal Village Is Dismantled

Apollo 11 at 50: The Town that Went to the Moon, Neil Armstrong's hometown, Wapakoneta, Ohio
There’s a town in Western Ohio with a claim to fame no place on earth can match: Hometown to the first human to set foot on the moon. by Rick Jackson July 15, 2019 “… 3 – 2 – 1 – 0, all engine running ...

Akron's Homeless, Displaced Again, Reignite Debate On Handling Homelessness
When Akron police and city staff removed people from a makeshift tent city last Sunday, it rekindled the battle over where people may live when their 'choice' of residence is a fabric tent. The years-long saga of people living in the makeshift Tent Village, tucked behind a Broad Street business called The Homeless Charity and unseen by passersby, essentially ended earlier this year when the city of Akron and property owner Sage Lewis agreed to dissolve the tiny community.

Harrison Dillard Is More Than An Olympic Legend
Seventy years ago, a young man from Cleveland stood atop a podium in London as the national anthem played. "The Star-Spangled Banner" echoed throughout Wembley Stadium because that young man had just won one of his two gold medals representing the United States in the 1948 Olympic Games. But there is so much more to the story of Harrison Dillard.
In era of government scarcity, public-private partnerships bridge community needs
Solving problems like poverty, or inequities in housing, education or healthcare, is an expensive undertaking, and the gap between what’s required and what’s actually available, especially from public resource pools, is dramatic and widening. With every passing day, the social and economic problems facing local communities grow steeper, even as governments’ capacity to functionally address them shrinks.

A Panacea Tea Takes Root In NEO
Roughly translated from Japanese, Kombucha means "red tea mushroom." It's a fermented tea that Plain Dealer intern Natalie Villacorta explains has been thought to have curative or preventative properties for various ailments. But some experts say its also linked to adverse health effects, and the CDC says two people died from overuse. Big corporate names like Coca-Cola looked at it, and then got out of the business, likely because the fermentation can make it a slightly alcoholic beverage.
The sky’s not the limit
Rick Jackson discusses why analytics and the cloud are the perfect combination for helping SMBs innovate and compete with larger organisations at the forefront of their industries Turning to the cloud as a foundation to support an organisation is nothing new.

The benefits of tube laser technology machine for cutting
Tubular structures are part of our everyday world – from the office chairs we sit in to the racks we hang our clothes on.
