Barrister cleared of misconduct calls on head of Bar Standards Board to resignPublished 1:32 pm Monday, December 9, 2024 by For The News Courier KNOXVILLE, TN— The Tennessee Valley Authority, in partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers Inc., a TVA retiree organization, will award a record-tying $1.5 million in grants to educators to develop Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education projects across the Tennessee Valley region. “We know STEM teachers across the region are inspiring students to become the workforce of the future and that’s why it’s so important for TVA to continue to support this grant program,” Jeff Lyash, TVA president and CEO, said. “Providing additional resources to schools helps provide essential hands-on learning programs that equip students with skills that will help them be successful in whatever they choose to do in life.” The competitive STEM classroom grant program is operated in partnership with the Tennessee STEM Innovation Network, managed by the Battelle organization. The program received 647 grant applications this year, and 342 were selected for funding. Email newsletter signup Some of those schools that have been selected for funding include; Athens Renaissance, Blue Springs Elementary, East Limestone High, Elkmont High and Tanner High. More than 130,000 students will benefit from these grants for STEM projects. Since 2018, TVA/BVI has provided nearly $8 million in STEM grants supporting over 730,000 students. “Bicentennial Volunteers, Inc. has a reputation for giving back to the community. BVI is proud to partner with TVA in empowering teachers to provide hands-on learning opportunities for students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math,” Kathy Black, president of BVI, said. “We believe that by enriching their educational experiences, we are helping create lifelong learners and building the workforce of tomorrow.” Grants are awarded to meet the diverse needs of local communities. For example, University High School in Memphis is using its $5,000 grant to purchase robotic equipment and it will support the school’s dual enrollment-focused STEM career pathways. At Todd County Middle School in Elkton, Kentucky, a $5,000 grant will be used to implement a 3D printing project to enhance STEM learning. The program will develop problem-solving and creativity and provide hands-on technical experience. “This grant will enable us to create hands-on learning experiences where students can experiment, create, and innovate,” Diane Ashcraft, STEM teacher at Corinth Middle School in Corinth, Mississippi, whose class received a $5,000 grant, said. “We plan to use the funds to purchase circuit kits, robotic components, and software that will allow them to design and code their own projects. We are excited to see the amazing projects and breakthroughs that emerge from this initiative.” Grants up to $5,000 were awarded in a competitive process, and preference was given to grant applications that explored TVA’s primary areas of focus: environment, energy, economic development, and community problem-solving. Any school that receives their power from a local power company served by TVA was eligible to apply. A full list of the grant recipients can be found at tvastem.com. The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporate agency of the United States that provides electricity for business customers and local power companies serving nearly 10 million people in parts of seven southeastern states. TVA receives no taxpayer funding, deriving virtually all of its revenues from sales of electricity. In addition to operating and investing its revenues in its electric system, TVA provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists local power companies and state and local governments with economic development and job creation.

Insights on how AI is driving innovation, efficiency, and market growth- Request Sample! Market Challenges The Blood Market faces several challenges in providing adequate blood and its components for various medical procedures and emergencies. Key challenges include the collection and screening of body fluids like blood and plasma from donors with chronic medical conditions such as Leukemia, Cancer, and HIV. The geriatric population and those with chronic kidney diseases, liver diseases, and metabolic disorders require specialized attention due to unique blood typing and screening needs. Blood loss from trauma injuries and surgical procedures necessitates a steady blood supply. Hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers rely on blood banks for donated whole blood, plasma, and advanced blood tests. The use of blood typing products, blood screening instruments, and blood typing systems is crucial to ensure accurate blood matching and prevent contamination or mishandling. Healthcare expenditure on medical treatments and interventions for blood-related disorders like Anemia, Bleeding, and organ transplants continues to rise. Blood collection devices, such as specialized needles, syringes, and collection tubes, must adhere to advanced technology and design features for efficient and safe procedures. Skilled laboratory professionals are essential for blood screening, testing, and blood transfusion therapy using blood transfusion instruments. The market for blood components, including Red blood cells, White blood cells, Platelets, and Plasma, is significant due to the high demand for surgeries, emergencies, and medical procedures. The challenges in the Blood Market call for continuous innovation and improvement in blood collection, screening, and transfusion processes to ensure patient care and health. The scarcity of blood storage and transfusion facilities in rural regions poses a significant challenge in the global blood market. Due to lower disposable incomes, these areas exhibit a minimal demand for healthcare services. The healthcare ecosystem in less developed regions is underdeveloped, limiting access to advanced medical treatments such as surgeries, blood transfusions, and advanced diagnostics. Consequently, the adoption of these treatments is low, resulting in reduced blood storage requirements in rural areas. This situation hinders the growth of the blood market in these regions. Insights into how AI is reshaping industries and driving growth- Download a Sample Report Segment Overview This blood market report extensively covers market segmentation by 1.1 Whole blood collection and processing 1.2 Blood screening products 1.3 Blood typing products 1.4 Source plasma collection 2.1 Hospitals 2.2 Ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) 2.3 Others 3.1 North America 3.2 Asia 3.3 Europe 3.4 Rest of World (ROW) 1.1 Whole blood collection and processing- The global blood market's whole blood collection and processing segment are projected to expand due to the increasing demand for whole blood. Factors such as trauma, surgical procedures, and diseases contribute to this demand. Whole blood, which is the blood flowing through veins, is commonly used for transfusions and patients with severe blood loss. Trauma is a leading cause of death, claiming over 5 million lives and requiring medical care for 1 billion people yearly. Blood is collected in blood bags, which are essential for storing and processing whole blood and its components. These bags are made from high-quality, biocompatible PVC and additives for safe and efficient blood collection, separation, storage, and transport. Standardized manufacturing methods ensure free flow during blood separation and prevent breakages or twists. Additionally, these bags extend red blood cell storage and lower packed red blood cell viscosity for easy transfusion, maximizing plasma harvesting. The advantages of blood collection bags are driving their demand, fueling the growth of the whole blood collection and processing segment in the global blood market.

By MARC LEVY HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted. Casey’s concession comes more than two weeks after Election Day, as a grindingly slow ballot-counting process became a spectacle of hours-long election board meetings, social media outrage, lawsuits and accusations that some county officials were openly flouting the law. Republicans had been claiming that Democrats were trying to steal McCormick’s seat by counting “illegal votes.” Casey’s campaign had accused of Republicans of trying to block enough votes to prevent him from pulling ahead and winning. In a statement, Casey said he had just called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” Casey said. The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead. As of Thursday, McCormick led by about 16,000 votes out of almost 7 million ballots counted. That was well within the 0.5% margin threshold to trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. But no election official expected a recount to change more than a couple hundred votes or so, and Pennsylvania’s highest court dealt him a blow when it refused entreaties to allow counties to count mail-in ballots that lacked a correct handwritten date on the return envelope. Republicans will have a 53-47 majority next year in the U.S. Senate. Follow Marc Levy at twitter.com/timelywriterHow major US stock indexes fared Tuesday, 12/24/2024
