Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Moscow has persistently claimed that it is effectively fighting a proxy war with the West. Speaking to reporters on Monday, US Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller said that the US provides Ukraine with weapons so that it can defend its sovereignty and that Tracy conveyed regret over any civilian loss of life.
Governor Gavin Newsom invested $20 million in a solar over canals pilot project in Turlock, and today the Governor joined the Biden Administration to celebrate new federal funding for another solar over canals pilot project outside of Los Banos. Solar over canals projects involve installing solar panels over water canals to help reduce evaporation and generate clean electricity.
UC Merced will study the Turlock project to determine how much clean energy could be generated, how much water could be conserved, and analyze how this could be scaled statewide. Initial findings show that if these projects are scaled statewide they would:

Lastly, loneliness may motivate people to adopt conspiracy beliefs in an attempt to gain community and a sense of social identity1,28. Several theoretical models describe loneliness as a motivational force across development29,30,31. Some people who see themselves as lonely may experience a motivation to reconnect29,31, and seeking conspiracist communities might offer this opportunity. Online conspiracist groups in particular are easy to join, highly reinforcing and engaging, which may make them an accessible and suitable source of social nourishment and identity for socially isolated individuals1,27,32. Indeed, individuals high in conspiracy beliefs are those who feel most socially isolated after unplugging from the internet33. However, it should be noted that other lines of research suggest that loneliness is associated with social withdrawal rather than a motivation to reconnect34,35, which would make this a less plausible mechanism underpinning the link between loneliness and conspiracy beliefs than the previously described mechanisms of ego protection and lack of corrective feedback.
Because the outcome measure of interest (i.e., conspiracy mentality) was included at T5, only data from participants who had completed this wave were used in the current study. Otherwise, no data were excluded from the analyses. In this sample, 57.4% of participants were women, and 42.6% were men. Most participants (93.6%) were ethnic Norwegians; 6.4% of participants had some immigrant background (i.e., were born abroad or had at least one parent who was born abroad). Less than half of participants (43.3%) had at least one parent who attended college or university.
First, we tested two univariate models including only loneliness at five time points to determine the shape of the trajectory: a linear model including the intercept and linear slope of loneliness (Model 1) and a quadratic model including the intercept, the linear slope, and the quadratic slope of loneliness that fitted the data best (Model 2). Then, to test whether the different trajectories of loneliness from adolescence into mid-adulthood are associated with conspiracy worldviews in 2020, we added conspiracy worldview at T5 as an outcome measure (again, as a measurement model with a latent construct of conspiracy worldview consisting of scale items as observed indicators) to the retained quadratic model (Model 3). We regressed conspiracy worldview on the intercept and linear slope of loneliness (but not on the quadratic slope, due to its high correlation with the linear slope and the resulting multicollinearity). Moreover, we tested the robustness of this model by adding time-invariant covariates (sex as recorded in national registries, age at T5 as recorded in national registries, political orientation at T2, parental education at T1; Model 4) and symptoms of depression and anxiety as time varying covariate (Model 5).
We conducted simple intercepts and slopes analyses73 to test how large the change in loneliness over three decades had been for participants who reported low, medium, and high levels of conspiracy worldview in midlife. Since the acceleration of the curve (quadratic slope) was not regressed on conspiracy worldview, we estimated its value at each level of conspiracy worldview based on the covariance of these two variables, using the formula:
The primary data generated in this study have been deposited in the Open Science Framework repository under accession code (see Supplementary Information, Supplementary Note 1, for variable names). The raw data related to sociodemographic characteristics of the participants (age, gender, parental education) are protected and are not available due to Norwegian data privacy laws.

The Highway Patrol has taken steps to ensure more safety for citizens and troopers. In January, 2002, the state's Move Over law took effect requiring motorists, if they can safely do so, to move one lane away from any law enforcement or other emergency vehicle that is on the side of the highway. This law includes utility vehicles that are on the side of the road restoring electrical service during an unplanned event such as a hurricane or ice storm. The utility vehicles are required to have a flashing amber-colored light.
The law requires motorists slow down and approach cautiously when an emergency vehicle is stopped on the shoulder of the roadway with its lights flashing. Motorists are required to move over to another lane away from the emergency vehicle on a multi-lane highway or slow down on a two lane highway and can do so safely. Motorists must slow down while maintaining a safe speed. G.S. 20-157 (f).
I have a multi-use sheet that only I work on that autosaves and sometimes I use different computers. I made the mistake of leaving it open on two separate computers. On computer one, I created a whole new page and put hours of work into it. Saved and closed. I go to it later on computer two and the sheet is already open on it from a past visit. Before it had updated to show all the work I'd done on computer one, it autosaved with what was on computer two and erased in the cloud all memory of me doing anything. I shut it down and ran back to computer one and it saved over my new work. I realize this is probably written on some Excel ten commandments somewhere, but please is there any way to recover past cloud network file work even after you have saved and exited out? Thank you
I understand your situation and how frustrating it must be to lose that much work. Recovering the accidentally overwritten Excel file might be possible, but the chances depend on which methods you can try:
Unfortunately, there's no single definitive answer to recovering your lost work. It depends on the specific circumstances and available options. But hopefully, exploring these avenues might offer a chance to retrieve at least some part of your efforts.

This webpage provides information about the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) requirements for over-the-road buses (OTRBs) under its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations. Because the information below provides only a summary, DOT's actual ADA regulations should be reviewed for specific legal requirements (see 49 CFR part 37, subpart H). In general, DOT's ADA regulations require accessible, timely OTRB service for passengers with disabilities, including wheelchair users.
Accessible Bus. An accessible bus or accessible OTRB is a bus that includes a lift for getting passengers who cannot climb steps onto a bus, specific locations for securing the wheelchair to prevent it from sliding, and other features to ease travel for passengers with disabilities.
Equivalent Service. Equivalent service is service provided to passengers with disabilities that is as good as the type of service provided to passengers without disabilities (e.g., a different accessible vehicle is used to provide service to the same traveling points for the same cost within the same time frame as a regularly scheduled OTRB). Equivalent service requires that passengers be allowed to travel in their own wheelchairs.
Large Operator. Under DOT's regulatory definition, a large operator or large OTRB company has gross annual transportation revenues equal to or exceeding $9.9 million. This threshold is based upon the definition of Class I motor carrier and is adjusted annually for inflation with Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
Small Operator. Under DOT's regulatory definition, a small operator or small OTRB company has gross annual transportation revenues less than $9.9 million. This threshold is based upon the definition of Class I motor carrier and is adjusted annually for inflation with Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
