AP Business SummaryBrief at 1:35 p.m. ESTDETROIT — In the waning days of President Joe Biden’s administration, the government’s highway safety agency proposed voluntary safety guidelines for self-driving vehicles. However, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rule that would put the plan in place won’t be approved before the end of Biden’s term in January and likely will be left to whoever runs the agency under Republican Donald Trump. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whom Trump named to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency to cut costs and regulations, floated the idea of him helping to develop safety standards for self-driving vehicles — even though the standards would affect Tesla’s automated driving systems. At present, no federal regulations exist that specifically govern autonomous vehicles, and any regulation is left to states. However, self-driving vehicles must meet broad federal safety standards that cover all passenger vehicles. Under the agency’s proposal, automakers and autonomous vehicle companies could enroll in a program that would require safety plans and some data reporting for autonomous vehicles operating on public roads. To apply, companies would be required to have independent assessments of their automated vehicle safety processes, and there would be requirements to report crashes and other problems with the vehicles. Companies would be required to give NHTSA information and data on the safety of the design, development and operations of the vehicles. The agency would decide whether to accept companies into the program. Auto safety advocates say the plan falls short of needed regulation for self-driving vehicles. For instance, it doesn’t set specific performance standards for the vehicles such as numbers and types of of sensors or whether the vehicles can see objects in low-visibility conditions, they said. “This is a big bunch of nothing,” said Missy Cummings, director of the autonomy and robotics center at George Mason University and a former safety adviser to NHTSA. “It’ll be more of a completely useless paperwork drill where the companies swear they’re doing the right thing.” Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, said one of the few good things about the plan is that companies will have to report data on crashes and other problems. There were reports that the Trump administration may want to scrap a NHTSA order that now requires autonomous vehicle companies to report crashes to the agency so it can collect data. A message was left Friday seeking comment from the Trump transition team on crash-reporting requirements. Brooks said the incoming administration probably will want to put out its own version of the guidelines. NHTSA will seek public comment on the plan for about 60 days, after which the plan would wind its way through the federal regulatory process, which can take months or even years. The agency said it believes the plan can accelerate learning about autonomous vehicles as well as work toward future regulations. “It is important that ADS (Automated Driving System) technology be deployed in a manner that protects the public from unreasonable safety risk while at the same time allowing for responsible development of this technology, which has the potential to advance safety,” the proposed rule says. The agency concedes that in the future there may be a need for NHTSA to set minimum standards for self-driving vehicle performance that are similar to mandatory safety standards that govern human-driven cars. But the agency says it now doesn’t have data and metrics to support those standards. The voluntary plan would help gather those, the proposal says.

Managing forests with smart technologies November 25, 2024 Kaunas University of Technology Deforestation has remained a significant issue globally, with primary forests contributing to 16 per cent of the total tree cover loss in the last two decades, driven by climate change and intensive human activity. This threatens natural resources, biodiversity, and people's quality of life. To protect forests, scientists have developed Forest 4.0, an intelligent forest data processing model integrating blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The system enables real-time monitoring of forest conditions, sustainable resource accounting, and a more transparent forest governance model. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email Deforestation has remained a significant issue globally, with primary forests contributing to 16 per cent of the total tree cover loss in the last two decades, driven by climate change and intensive human activity. This threatens natural resources, biodiversity, and people's quality of life. To protect forests, Lithuanian scientists, in collaboration with Swedish experts, have developed Forest 4.0, an intelligent forest data processing model integrating blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The system enables real-time monitoring of forest conditions, sustainable resource accounting, and a more transparent forest governance model. "Imagine buying a table and knowing exactly from which forest and tree it originated. This is exactly the outcome of the proposed forest data management model," says Rytis Maskeliūnas, a professor at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) who helped develop the system. Researchers from Kaunas University of Technology, Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania, and Linnaeus University in Sweden collaborated on its creation. Smart sensors can detect tree disease and illegal logging This system consists of multiple layers, with the first focusing on data acquisition and management. This layer is responsible for gathering information from wireless sensor networks, which include various IoT devices that measure factors such as tree sap, temperature, and soil moisture, all connected by data transmission. "This way, nobody has to go into the forest and take measurements manually," adds a KTU professor. The Forest 4.0 system features an IoT solution with sensors resembling birdhouses, which are installed in trees. "These devices send data to a central system, where it is analysed using AI algorithms within the data analysis layer," says KTU Centre of Real-Time Computer Systems professor Egidijus Kazanavičius, who developed the hardware. The analysis findings are further used in the monitoring and evaluation layer to examine forest health, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and ecosystem services. "This information is also essential for the next phase of the system -- forest management," explains Maskeliūnas. In practical applications, the researcher explains that by gathering data on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and air quality from these sensors, the IoT system can assess forest health, monitor fire risks, and offer protection against diseases, pests, or illegal activities. A smart monitoring system is not just sensors, according to Maskeliūnas, cameras already installed in the forest can also be used. "By analysing camera images and looking at, for example, browning needles, the IoT can detect the impact of insects on trees, identify disease through spots on leaves, and by encrypting sounds, it can indicate illegal logging," he says. It can also be adapted to predict changes in forest ecosystems and the spread of invasive species. The goal -- healthy, lush forest full of animals With the aim of revolutionising forest management, the system uses new technologies to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and profitability of forest businesses, optimise resource use, reduce waste, and facilitate decision-making. In addition, the Forest 4.0 model provides supply chain traceability management, allowing processes to be monitored at all stages, from the forest to the sawmill or even the final wood product. Blockchain, a decentralised digital ledger technology that ensures transparency and data integrity, is the foundation of this functionality. "The technology works without the authority and provides a transparent, secure, and unchangeable record of everything that happens to the forest and its production reducing illegal logging and ensuring sustainable practices," adds the professor of KTU Faculty of Informatics (IF). Despite these benefits, researchers are also facing some challenges in implementing Forest 4.0. These include high initial investment and an inert approach to innovation. "It is assumed that it is better to opt for expensive and complex solutions, while smaller and cheaper sensors are given less attention. We should be glad that a solution costing a few hundred euros is able to collect and send data by itself," says Prof. Maskeliūnas. Also, the use of decentralised blockchain technology requires a high level of trust from the users, however, the successful development of financial technology (Fintech) is helping to overcome these fears. However, in other countries, such as Germany, such solutions have already gained more acceptance. This shows that Forest 4.0 has the potential to become a global standard and that Lithuania can serve as a role model for other countries in promoting responsible and sustainable forest management. Speaking about the Forest 4.0 concept itself, Maskeliūnas says that smart forest management is about caring for the future of nature: "It is like the fourth industrial revolution in forestry, with the goal of a non-flammable, lush forest full of animals."

Following eight days of evidence and a further three of listening to closing speeches and the judge's comments, the jury of eight women and four men spent just over six hours deliberating before returning with its verdict.

In emotional scenes outside the court following the verdict, Ms Hand told reporters said she was 'overwhelmed and touched' by the support she had received. She added: 'I want to show [my daughter] Freya and every other young girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and that justice will be served'.

McGregor himself pocketed an estimated £120 million in the deal when selling his majority stake, but has remained a prominent promoter of the whiskey since its 2021 acquisition by Proximo Spirits. The former two-division UFC champion also currently owns a business empire in his native Ireland which boasts the popular Dublin pub The Blackforge Inn as its public-facing crown. McGregor has spent an estimated £2.5 million purchasing and renovating the venue on Dublin's Longmile Road which has become the social media backdrop for the fighter's online promoting of both Proper 12 whiskey and Forged Irish Stout. A number of other leading UK retailers have been contacted by the MailOnline but are yet to comment as to whether or not they will continue to stock both of McGregor's affiliated drinks.

REFORM, Ala. (AP) — A federal judge ruled that the family of former NFL player Glenn Foster Jr., who died in law enforcement custody in Alabama, can pursue a lawsuit alleging his death was the result of excessive force. Foster, a former New Orleans Saints defensive end, died on Dec. 6, 2021, three days after being arrested and taken to jail in rural Pickens County for alleged speeding and attempting to elude police. A judge ordered Foster taken to a medical facility in Tuscaloosa for a mental evaluation. Foster was found unresponsive in the back of a law enforcement vehicle when he arrived at the facility. He was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later. His widow, Pamela Foster, filed a lawsuit against officers at the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office and jail saying Foster had been beaten, shocked with a Taser and strangled while at the jail. The defendants then asked a federal judge to dismiss the case. U.S. District Judge Annemarie Carney Axon ruled Thursday refused to dismiss allegations of excessive force and failure to intervene. Axon dismissed other portions of the lawsuit. The ruling came a day before the third anniversary of Foster’s death. Foster appeared in 17 games for the Saints in 2013 and 2014.

As the ongoing Canada Post workers' strike continues to shut down mail delivery, there are questions about those photo radar tickets issued on Ottawa streets and what it means for speeders. "The tickets will go out when delivery comes back, but we're monitoring it very closely," said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, chair of the city's Transportation Committee. Right now, speeders have a 23-day window to pay, but Tierney says he's confident the province will adjust its timing. "We're looking for the province to change some of the rules on the timing, but at the same time, we are still currently processing. So, I guess the message is please don't speed." It's just one of many impacts municipalities face as the strike continues for a 12th day. Municipalities like Smiths Falls, Ont. are getting creative, hand-delivering roughly 1,000 water bills to residents. Roger Stanley got his on Monday. "I kind of figured they likely would. I'm not a computer person so I don't go that route with my bills, I just call the bank and pay them right at home," said Stanley. Canada post says it's missed out on delivering roughly 10 million parcels as more than 55,000 workers across the country walk the picket lines. Back in Ottawa, the city says it is seeing a shift with more residents opting to pay utilities online. "It's good for the taxpayer because of course there's a big cost in sending those out. But I think, in general, people are just tired of the strikes continually and are switching to the electronic form," said Tierney. As for those photo radar tickets, they may be delayed now but, at some point, you'll have to pay. Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.

Stay ConnectedNew York Jets respond to claims Aaron Rodgers could be shut down By JACK BEZANTS Published: 17:23 EST, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 17:23 EST, 25 November 2024 e-mail View comments The New York Jets are not planning on shutting Aaron Rodgers down this week, despite reports that both the quarterback and the team themselves want to part ways. Interim head coach Jeff Ulrich addressed the speculation surrounding Rodgers at a press conference on Monday, with the team returning to practice after a bye week. 'All I can say - and you'd have to ask Aaron if he's fully healthy - but he's better off today than he's been as of late,' Ulrich said about Rodgers playing this weekend. 'So he's definitely feeling healthier than he has for probably the last month, and a healthy Aaron Rodgers is the Aaron Rodgers we all love. So, excited about what that looks like.' Ulrich also denied recent reports that Rodgers, 40, had refused to undergo scans to determine exactly how injured he is. 'That's news to me,' Ulrich said. The New York Jets are not planning on shutting Aaron Rodgers down this week The Jets' hopes of reaching the postseason hang by a thread with their record at 3-8 going into Sunday's showdown against Seattle. They have lost seven of their last eight games. Last week, general manager Joe Douglas was also fired by the Jets - following head coach Robert Saleh out of the exit door in what has been a rocky season. The Seahawks, meanwhile, lead NFC West on 6-5, but in a division where last-place San Francisco 49ers are 5-6. They beat Arizona Cardinals 16-6 on Sunday.

The government’s new furnace and water heater rules are coming for youEarly Mesoamericans trapped fish far earlier than previously thought November 22, 2024 University of New Hampshire Archaeologists have collected data which indicates the presence of a large-scale pre-Columbian fish-trapping facility. Discovered in the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary (CTWS), the largest inland wetland in Belize, the team dated the construction of these fisheries to the Late Archaic period (cal. 2000-1900 BCE), pre-dating Amazonian examples by a thousand years or more. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email An archaeologist from the University of New Hampshire and her team have collected data which indicates the presence of a large-scale pre-Columbian fish-trapping facility. Discovered in the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary (CTWS), the largest inland wetland in Belize, the team dated the construction of these fisheries to the Late Archaic period (cal. 2000-1900 BCE), pre-dating Amazonian examples by a thousand years or more. "The network of canals was designed to channel annual flood waters into source ponds for fish trapping and would have yielded enough fish to feed as many as 15,000 people year-round, conservatively," said Eleanor Harrison-Buck, professor of anthropology and director of the Belize River East Archaeology (BREA) project. "The dates indicate that the fisheries were initially constructed by Late Archaic hunter-gatherer-fishers and continued to be used by their Formative Maya descendants (approximately 2000 BCE to 200 CE). For Mesoamerica in general, we tend to regard agricultural production as the engine of civilization, but this study tells us that it wasn't just agriculture -- it was also potential mass harvesting of aquatic species." Published in the journal Science Advances, the research used 26 radiocarbon dates from test excavation sites in the CTWS, which indicate that such landscape-scale wetland enhancements may have been an adaptive response to long-term climate disturbance recorded in Mesoamerica between 2200 and 1900 BCE. "The early dates for the canals surprised us initially because we all assumed these massive constructions were built by the ancient Maya living in the nearby city centers," said Harrison-Buck. "However, after running numerous radiocarbon dates, it became clear they were built much earlier." Sediment samples were collected along the walls of the excavation units and sequenced for specific elements, such as nitrogen and carbon, to look for environmental changes over time. The sediment showed a strong tropical forest dominance during that period and no evidence of crop cultivation, specifically maize. Along with a lack of any pollen from domesticated crops, there were not any signs of ditched and drained agricultural fields in the immediate area dating to that time. The multiproxy data gathered suggests the distinctive long linear zigzag channels served primarily as large-scale fish-trapping facilities. "It seems likely that the canals allowed for annual fish harvests and social gatherings, which would have encouraged people to return to this area year after year and congregate for longer periods of time," said Marieka Brouwer Burg, professor of anthropology at the University of Vermont and BREA co-director. "Such intensive investments in the landscape may have led ultimately to the development of the complex society characteristic of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization, which subsequently occurred in this area by around 1200 BCE." "Wetlands have always been a critical ecosystem for humans across the globe," said Samantha Krause, professor of geography and environmental studies at Texas State University. "Knowing how to manage wetland resources responsibly is essential for the continued resilience of these ecosystems both in the past and today. The Archaic hunter-gatherer-fishers knew how to protect their resources and use them in a way that could sustain these habitats, not exhaust them, which explains their long-lasting occupation in this area." With the support of the local community, the team plans to return to Crooked Tree to investigate a larger sample of these landscape-scale modifications that they have identified across a broad area of northern Belize, hoping to more fully understand the complexity of human-wetland interactions in the past. Other co-authors include Mark Willis, department of archaeology, Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia; Angelina Perrotti, Palynology & Environmental Archaeology Research Lab; Monona, Wisconsin; and Katie Bailey, department of anthropology, University of Vermont. This research was funded by a grant from the Alphawood Foundation Chicago. Additional support was provided by a collaborative research grant from the National Science Foundation. The Belize Institute of Archaeology provided an archaeological permit, granting permission to excavate in the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary. The Crooked Tree Village Council welcomed the research team and permitted them to map and excavate in the wetlands around their community.
