A still from the Eagle Cam in Big Bear Valley. Jackie and Shadow are expecting their eggs to hatch any day now.Tens of thousands of people around the world have watched Big Bear’s famous eagle Jackie pair up with mates, huddle through torrential snow storms and joyfully celebrate when her eaglets took flight.Jackie and her mate Shadow have laid three eggs. The world is watching with bated breath to see if they hatch into eaglets.
“We could see the nest from almost a mile away, but you couldn’t see into the nest. One year there were chicks before a storm, and after a storm, nobody. We just wanted to see what was going on inside that nest,” Steers said. “It’s been good in that it supports the economy up here with people wanting to know what Big Bear is and know more about it. The people that come that are fans of the eagles are very polite and good with nature, they’re not coming to cause any harm, so it’s been good.”Public reaction can also be intensely emotional.
The cameras, livestream, newsletters and live chats on Facebook and YouTube are also supported by a devoted group of 10 volunteers around the world who take shifts monitoring and documenting the nest 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In 2022 alone, charities raised $749 million nationwide through so-called point-of-sale donations, a 24% jump from 2020, according to Engage for Good, which tracks this type of charitable giving. And that was just from campaigns that brought in $1 million or more.
Data suggests that despite being bombarded by such requests, Rindos and others like him are giving more each year at cash registers, self-checkouts and online. And it has resulted in a huge boost for charities on the receiving end. Consider the Taco Bell Foundation, a nonprofit that operates independently from the fast food chain. It brought in $42 million last year on round-ups collected from the company's more than 7,500 restaurants across the U.S. The average donation: just 44 cents.
As Kelting explains, a lot of it has to do with the"pain" of parting with our hard-earned cash."The perceived pain is less in the consumer's mind when that round-up request is presented," compared to a solicitation for a specific dollar amount, she says. Kelting, citing a body of research by others, says that customers might also change their behavior and perceptions in public versus private settings. In this case, the self-checkout is analogous to a private setting where it is easier to decline, but the same decision in front of a cashier — especially one who adds a verbal prompt for the donation — is something different.
But when it comes to giving in the checkout line, she's wary."How do I know where that money is going? And the price of food? I just spent almost $200 on this," she says, nodding to the groceries in the trunk.against the pharmaceutical chain claiming that it wrongly used money collected through point-of-sale donations to honor a pledge to the American Diabetes Association.
The ride-share company Lyft runs a campaign that helps customers take a more considered approach to giving. Riders can select from a list of charities on the company's app. Then each time they ride, their bill is automatically rounded up to the nearest dollar to benefit their charity of choice. It's harder to stand outside a store, ringing a bell to ask for donations,"but what you are getting is a lot of exposure," she says."So you're building familiarity."
The aim is to expand participation by historically under-represented groups on and off-screen. And while the standards aren't particularly difficult to meet – of the 321 films eligible for Oscars, 265 qualified under the new requirements for Best Picture consideration – there is demonstrable diversity among nominees this year.
The most affected areas are also some of California's most popular and accessible: Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks had the most air pollution of any park measured in the study, followed by Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave National Preserve, and Yosemite National Park. a great time of year to get out and enjoy the cleaner air: Like California's urban areas, parks tend to be most polluted in hot weather.
If you're visiting a mountainous park, air quality usually improves if you're high up enough. The NPS notes that elevations of 8500 feet and higher usually have clearer air even on days with bad air quality. The funds are part of a $9.3 million package secured last year by California congressional representatives, including the late Senator Dianne Feinstein.he would be leading an audit into Inside Safe"to bring more transparency & accountability to Inside Safe," he wrote in a statement published yesterday. Mejia also cited a"lack of transparency & accountability on homelessness efforts despite billions of dollars spent" from the city.
The oil sheen, around 2.5 miles in length and half a mile wide, was first spotted just off the Huntington Beach coast on Friday morning. Last year, Assembly Bill 631 passed, which increases penalties and fines for oil companies that cause major spills or other hazards.Whether it's a trainwreck we can't look away from or a funhouse mirror of unintentional camp, there's something so delicious about a bad movie. We put the call out for listeners' favorites.. It’s a time to celebrate the silly, sloppy, and schlocky movies that we love to hate and hate to love.
In District 14, embattled incumbent Kevin de León leads by less than 1,000 votes, and Ysabel Jurado and former Assemblymember Miguel Santiago only 21 votes apart. A lot of that comes down to how different the candidates in the runoff are from each other. If they’re very similar, it’s more likely the frontrunner just becomes more of a frontrunner.
Incumbent Supervisor Janice Hahn has been flagged as likely to win outright and avoid a runoff since the first returns on Tuesday night. As you can see, her lead has stayed strong throughout the week, and second-place candidate Alex Villanueva isn’t gaining vote share.
