Streaming nowSPRINGFIELD — Earlier this month, the Illinois State Flag Commission selected 10 designs out of more than 4,800 submissions as finalists in the competition to select a new state flag. Doing the math, the finalists represent about just two thousandths of all submissions. Among them: two featuring silhouettes of former President Abraham Lincoln; one featuring an orange outline of the state's official butterfly, the monarch; one with a gear and corn kernels to represent the state's robust industrial and agricultural might; and several featuring 21 stars or stripes to symbolize Illinois' status as the 21st state in the nation. And if residents want to maintain the status quo or go back to the future, they will also have the option to keep the current state flag or adopt either the 1918 centennial flag or 1968 sesquicentennial flag. Illinois residents will be able to vote on those 13 choices next month. Whether they are the best options is another question. Social media reaction to the finalists was mixed, with many wondering whether the 22-person commission got it right. Well, folks can now judge for themselves as Lee Enterprises, via a Freedom of Information Act request, has obtained a copy of all 4,838 designs submitted in the contest. They range from serious — incorporating principles of flag design and the key symbols of Illinois such as its waterways and agricultural roots — to silly, such as a Chicago hot dog. They include professionally-designed submissions to those hand-drawn by many of the state's schoolchildren. And some included a political bent, both positive and negative, from the state's status as a beacon for LGBTQ people to its reputation for high taxes and political corruption. Here is a 1,878-page PDF containing every flag submission: Voting will open in January online at www.ilsos.gov/stateflag . Once completed, the commission will submit a report with a recommendation to the Illinois General Assembly by April 1. Entry 4669 Relationship to Illinois: In the fall of 2004, I lived in Chicago and was studying industrial design at UIC. My great grandfather, Harry James McCartney was an engraver in Chicago. He worked downtown at the Sears, Roebuck and Co where he illustrated and engraved images of lamps, heaters, and other household accessories that were printed on the pages of the Sears mail-order catalogue. His father was James A. McCartney, a civil war veteran from Illinois. He became the IL Attorney General from 1881-1885. Explain the meaning behind your flag: The 21 red + white stripes represent Illinois as the 21st state of this union. The blue field with the six-pointed white star represents Chicago. The negative space between the blue and white fields form the shape of an I to represent Illinois. Entry 4321 Relationship to Illinois: The students who worked on this flag are high school students living in Illinois named Johnna and Spresalynn. Explain the meaning behind your flag: The state butterfly, the Monarch, is the focal point of this flag that includes 21 stars for Illinois being the 21st state (the large star represents Illinois). The orange represents success, determination, and creativity while the blue stands for trust, loyalty, and sincerity and strength. Entry 4220 Relationship to Illinois: Born and raised. From 1984-2002, I spent my childhood in central Illinois, I’ve lived and worked in Bloomington/Normal for 26 of my 40 years of life. My dad, sister, niece, and the majority of my aunts and uncles are still here. All of my grandparents are buried here. I found out about this commission only days ago after spending two years abroad. I found this old design from 2016 just today. It needs works. It lacks our current eagle, perhaps to be placed in white silhouette above the star. Explain the meaning behind your flag: This slice of Old Glory is also a nod to the French flag, banners which both stood here. A single star shines our contribution to the union. Abe’s silhouette reminds us of our past. The red field highlights our present: Illinois’ most iconic border, formed by the mighty Mississippi. It’s steady flow, as progress itself, cuts through our banner in white leading us ever to the future. The flag still lacks any representation of our Illiniwek and Miami heritage, which should be added by their progeny. Entry 4129 Relationship to Illinois: As someone born, raised, and educated in the state of Illinois, I am proud to call Illinois home and plan to do so for life. I believe strongly that my character and view of the world as a citizen and as an architect has been shaped by the cultural, geographic, economic, historic, and architectural diversity of our state. Explain the meaning behind your flag: The four dark blue bars in this submission represent the four geographic features that hold the greatest geographic, economic, and historic significance in the creation of Illinois: Lake Michigan, the Mississippi River, the Ohio River, and the Chicago River/ Illinois River system. The corn kernels and 21-pronged gear that form our state flower, the violet, represent the agricultural and industrial foundations of our state and its status as the 21st state admitted to the Union. Entry 3754 Relationship to Illinois: I’ve lived here for nearly 10 years and have grown to love this state. It’s an excellent place to settle down, with welcoming people who have always made me feel at home. From stunning city views to beautiful countryside, my appreciation for this state has deepened. Explain the meaning behind your flag: A large gold star in the center draws attention, much like the standout features of our state. Gold color symbolizes out the richness in our state, people, land and views. A horizontal blue line symbolizes lake Michigan, separating the sky from the rich land. Two smaller lines add a neat, elegant touch. The central circle abstractly represents the view from above Abraham Lincoln’s hat. Entry 3679 Relationship to Illinois: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been proud to call Springfield my home. I come from generations of Illinoisans and have chosen to raise my family here as well. I’ve spent much of my life exploring the state and experiencing its wonders firsthand what I’ve found is there is much to what makes Illinois great: our rich history, our landscape, our variety of people and the places they live. My designs reflect these qualities in a way that can hopefully inspire others to share my pride for my home. Explain the meaning behind your flag: The outline of Abraham Lincoln symbolizes liberty, opportunity and the equality of all people. The outline of Illinois symbolizes the pride we share for our state. The circle of 21 stars represents our communal togetherness and honors our state being the 21st to join the USA. The white star symbolizes Chicago and its upper-right location. Dark blue represents our blue-collar attitude and industrial power. Gold represents our prairie and agricultural history. White represents our bright spirit. Entry 2752 Relationship to Illinois: I have lived in Illinois for my entire life (40 years). I grew up in Naperville and then moved to Chicago where I lived for about 18 years before moving to Des Plaines. Explain the meaning behind your flag: My flag uses a silhouette design of the state of Illinois as the focal point. I always felt Illinois had a distinct outline. 21 stars circle the state to symbolize it being the 21st state to enter the Union. Additionally, I used the circular design to symbolize Illinois being a kind of center of the country, whether it is geographically or from Chicago serving as a hub for train and air traffic. Finally, the blue edges represent the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan which flank the state. Entry 2246 Relationship to Illinois: My connection to Illinois runs deep. My ancestors came from Ireland in the early 1900s and settled in Gridley, IL, where they farmed corn, soybeans, and raised livestock. My father grew up on that same farm, while my mother was raised in Champaign. They met at Illinois State University, where I also earned my Bachelor of Arts in graphic design. I’ve lived in Illinois my entire life, and its agricultural landscapes and small town values make me proud to call Illinois home. Explain the meaning behind your flag: The 21 stripes represent Illinois as the 21st state and reflect its agricultural roots, resembling rows of crops and the open prairie. Three six-pointed stars represent the state’s three regions*northern, central, and southern*and their 18 points reference Illinois’ founding in 1818. A sun on the horizon, also featured on our current state flag, represents renewal. The colors — Blue for unity, Green for agriculture, and Yellow for a bright future — honor Illinois’ history and natural beauty. Entry 896 Relationship to Illinois: My late wife Maureen Thomas (1952-2023) was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. Explain the meaning behind your flag: The idea of mine is simply an embellishment to the existing flag (helps to save money on an entire new design). Placing red and blue vertical bars on each end (with a narrow white stripe in between the colors) eliminates the ‘seal-on-bedsheet’ look. Not overly imaginative, but practical and economic. Entry 200 Relationship to Illinois: I am 18 years old and a lifelong resident, born in Moline and currently living in Rock Island. My parents were also born and raised in this state. Explain the meaning behind your flag: The flag is divided into 7 stripes, in a pattern of white and blue alternating. The biggest blue stripe represents Lake Michigan while the smaller blue stripes represent the state’s various rivers such as the Mississippi and the Illinois. The center blue stripe contains 20 smaller stars surrounding a center star, which represent Illinois as the 21st state. The small white stripes represent the state’s industry and commerce while the bigger white stripes represent the state’s agriculture. Centennial Flag The Centennial Flag was created to commemorate 100 years of Illinois’ statehood. The flag consists of 10 stars on each side of a white and blue banner with a larger 21st star to represent the state being the 21st to be admitted to the Union. Current Flag The first official flag of Illinois was adopted in 1915, almost 100 years after Illinois became a state in 1818. Lucy Derwent of the Rockford Daughters of the American Revolution chapter placed the Great Seal on a plain white background. In 1969 the word “Illinois” was added to the bottom of the flag, becoming the flag that is recognized today. Sesquicentennial Flag The Sesquicentennial Flag was created to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the state. This flag is dark blue with an outline of Illinois in the middle of a white “I.” The center is surrounded by 20 five-pointed stars with a larger 21st star to represent that Illinois was the 21st state admitted to the Union.

In pursuance of his administration’s policy thrust of consultation in governance, Comrade Governor Nasir Idris has embarked on periodic consultations with the stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at the Local Government level, with the leadership of the state chapter making the arrangements. A statement issued by the Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy to the Kebbi State Governor stated that the tour is expected to take the governor to the 21 Local Government Councils. The consultation tour is aimed at interfacing with the stakeholders with a view to reviewing the development achieved so far, getting feedback from the people and unveiling proposed additional projects and programmes for the communities. Although the tour was specifically for consultation with stakeholders, it was surprisingly turned into a carnival kind of at Gwandu, Argungu and Augie Local government, the first phase of the tour where the turnout that received the governor’s entourage was massive. The entourage includes the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning Senator Atiku Abubakar Bagudu, former Governor Sa’idu Dakingari, former Deputy Governor and National Organising Secretary of the party Suleiman Muhammad Argungu former Deputy Governor Alhaji Bello Dantani and former Deputy Senate Leader, Senator Bala ibn Na’Allah. Others included members of the National and State Assemblies, members of the state working committee of the party, commissioners, Special Advisers, and heads of critical agencies of the state government. Apparently carried away by the joyful-full-looking amount crowd, Comrade Governor Nasir changed the pattern of the tour to a community Consultative forum with community leaders, organized farmers, traders and voluntary Associations, regardless of political affiliation in attendance. Supported by commissioners and political leaders, Comrade Governor Nasir summarised the achievements recorded in agriculture, education, health care, security, and other infrastructural facilities. He also unfolded the road map for the way forward in all sectors of development. In their contributions, various speakers acknowledged and appreciated the development achieved in various sectors and reaffirmed their loyalty, total support, and absolute confidence in Comrade Nasir’s administration. At Gwandu, Senator Bagudu told the gathering that he felt fulfilled because God had answered his consistent prayers that Comrade Nasir be granted the wisdom to perform much more than him when he served. He further declared “I must be extremely happy that my successor, brother, and humble leader is rapidly transforming our dear state. While speaking at Argungu, the National Organising Secretary of the party, Suleiman Muhammad Argungu lends credence to Senator Bagudu’s assertion, adding that the National Leadership of the party has identified Comrade Governor Nasir among the three performing state Governors of the party, in view of the verifiable People’s oriented projects in different sectors executed by his administration across the state. It could be recalled that at a stakeholders meeting, a few months ago, there was a unanimous vote of absolute confidence in Comrade Governor Nasir in recognition of his administration’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development, promotion of peaceful coexistence, and ensuring the security of people’s lives and properties. As it could be clearly understood within the political environment of the state, there is no gain in saying that almost all the heavyweight grassroots politicians of substance with political relevance, and impeccable track records of selfless services to humanity, have remained solidly behind Comrade Governor Nasir Idris. Undoubtedly, their conviction of his leadership capacity, must have been informed by his respect for elders, humility, exhibition of political maturity, youthful but effective democratic experience, having led the nation’s apex workers union, the Nigerian Labour Congress,(NLC) as deputy National President. Also believed to have been other factors included transparency in governance, accommodating disposition, sincerity of purpose in politics as well as generosity to politicians and vulnerable people which have unarguably made him be recognised as a selfless people’s servant and role model for the present generation of politicians. After all is said and done, Comrade Governor Nasir Idris Kauran Gwandu remains the undisputable political leader, reliable and committed governor the people of Kebbi State need now and in future.

NEW YORK , Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: IBM ) – The Emerging Technology Advisory Board (ETAB) today released its first report to elevate New York as an AI leader. The report provided recommendations to bolster the State's commitment to responsible development and implementation of AI. First introduced by Governor Kathy Hochul in June 2024 , the ETAB was established as an independent advisory board to chart the course for a thriving emerging technology ecosystem in New York State . The Advisory Board is co-chaired by IBM Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna and Girls Who Code Chief Executive Officer Dr. Tarika Barrett and is comprised of leaders from the private sector and nonprofit and foundation organizations. With input from over 40 external stakeholders and experts, the report details how New York is well-positioned to be at the forefront of AI advancement. This includes leveraging its robust economy, extensive tech talent pool, academic excellence, legacy for innovation, and groundbreaking investments in AI and AI-adjacent industries. In reviewing the state's current landscape, the Advisory Board also identified potential challenges, such as ensuring the workforce is equipped with the skills and resources necessary to succeed in the age of AI. The ETAB took a deeper look at how these challenges could impact New York organizations and communities – and, based on these insights, proposed three ambitions for the State of New York : Guided by these ambitions, the report sets forth nine recommendations – each backed by a thorough framework and next steps – designed to foster public-private partnerships and balance priorities of timely impact and sufficient scale necessary to help drive responsible AI adoption in New York . " New York State is furthering its legacy of innovation and invention for the rest of the world to follow, setting a standard of greatness – and we've only just begun," Governor Hochul said. "Since the beginning of my administration I have been laser-focused on bringing good paying jobs to this state, which is why we need ethical and responsible AI that improves the lives of all New Yorkers and delivers accessible, equitable and future proof jobs with it. I want to thank the members of the Emerging Technology Advisory Board, who took the time to form these recommendations. I look forward to reviewing the report and to working with experts and stakeholders from every sector as we forge an equitable and dynamic future for AI in New York ." "The Emerging Technology Advisory Board has delivered on its first goal to provide a blueprint that positions New York as a frontrunner in trustworthy AI," said Arvind Krishna . "This comprehensive set of recommendations will help drive an innovative AI ecosystem, ensure responsible AI deployment at scale, foster a resilient workforce, and empower all New Yorkers with equitable access to the benefits of AI." "The recommendations of the Emerging Technology Advisory Board reflect a collective effort to ensure that the advancement of artificial intelligence benefits industries and workers across New York ," said Tarika Barrett . "These comprehensive proposals aim not only to foster economic growth and innovation but also to uphold our commitment to a technological future that mirrors the diversity and values of our communities."

Creed’s 2001 Thanksgiving Halftime Show Remains Unrivaled MadnessUS leaves N. Korea on state sponsors of terrorism list in 2023 reportKlubnik's 3 TD passes, DT Page's pick-6 lead No. 17 Clemson to 51-14 win over The Citadel

Wall Street stocks declined on Wednesday, retreating from records after pricing data showed an uptick in inflation, as leading companies fell after earnings reports. After three straight closing records for the Dow and Tuesday's record for the S&P 500, both dropped along with the Nasdaq in the final full trading session of the week. The Dow Jones finished down 0.3 percent at 44,722. The S&P 500 fell 0.4 percent to 5,998, while the Nasdaq shed 0.6 percent to 19,060. Despite Wednesday's lacklustre session, investors are optimistic about the upcoming period. A note from CFRA Research pointed out that December has historically been the strongest month of the year for the S&P 500 since World War II. "We project additional new highs through year-end as the S&P approaches our 6,145 target level," CFRA said in the note. "However, the year ahead could offer additional challenges, which will likely lead to a below-average full-year gain." The personal consumption expenditures price index rose 2.3 percent in the 12 months to October, up from 2.1 percent in September, the Commerce Department announced. The benchmark is closely watched by the Federal Reserve. Futures markets currently place the odds at about two-thirds that the Fed will cut interest rates again in December by a quarter of a percentage point. Among individual companies, both Dell Technologies and HP Inc. fell sharply on disappointment with their profit outlooks. Dell slumped 12.3 percent and HP lost 11.4 percent. Department store Nordstrom also retreated, sinking 8.2 percent as it reported a 4.6 percent increase in revenues. But the company also reported lower profits in a move attributed to higher costs. Markets will be closed on Thursday and open for only a half-day on Friday. (AFP)
