Barbie honors Queen Elizabeth and her Platinum Jubilee

by

Hear ye, hear ye! Iconic doll brand Barbie is getting the royal treatment: In celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s rare and historic Platinum Jubilee, Mattel is releasing a Barbie doll in the queen’s majestic likeness. Just ahead of her 96th birthday, which falls on April 21, the Tribute Collection Barbie doll will also celebrate a milestone occasion: Her majesty is now the first British monarch to observe 70 years of service.

The stunning Barbie doll is a fitting tribute for a queen. Inspired by the queen’s iconic looks throughout the years, the doll is adorned in an elegant ivory gown and wears Queen Elizabeth II’s recognizable blue ribbon, which even features mini versions of the Royal Family Orders, portraits of kings and queens worn on silk ribbons by royal women. An ornate crown — based on Queen Mary’s fringe tiara — and matching accessories complete the look, including the pink ribbon given to the queen by her father George VI.

“The gown is not a copy of any one dress she wears, but rather a gown inspired by the style and color of gown she’s favored in royal portraits of herself for the past several years,” shares Robert Best, a senior director of Barbie design. “If you look at those portraits or how she dresses for important events, she very much has a signature style and look — always a very simple design in white or ivory, which makes sense given that she must then wear all the accompanying jewelry and sash as befits her rank.”

In celebration of the release, the doll also visited Buckingham Palace.

The newest doll in the Barbie line-up honors and celebrates Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy, which includes 70 years of public service and an unwavering devotion to global humanitarian efforts.

“It’s incredibly important for children to see female leaders who have impacted history in their dolls, from Frida Kahlo to Amelia Earhart and now the queen,” shares Kate Williams, a historian, professor and author of Our Queen Elizabeth: Her Extraordinary Life from the Crown to the Corgis. “It brings home the importance of women’s contributions to the world, the impact of women as leaders, creators and pioneers and the fact that women’s achievements are important and should be celebrated.”

The impact of the queen’s reign will forever be felt, especially with young women. According to Williams, the Platinum Jubilee, “is a moment to evaluate how much Britain and the world has changed in her reign.”

“Barbie is an icon,” Williams adds, “timeless, inspiring, recognized around the world — and the queen is an icon, too. They are two of the world’s most recognizable women and now they are joined together in this doll.”

Launched in 2021, the Barbie Tribute Series honors trailblazing women whose forward thinking and revolutionary visions forever changed the world for the better. The series kicked off by paying tribute to entertainment icon Lucille Ball.

Barbie has long made conscious efforts to encourage and inspire young girls everywhere, showing them they can be anything they want to be. The brand most recently sent Astronaut Barbie on her first space mission to encourage young girls to consider careers related to space exploration.

For the prospective collector, The Queen Elizabeth II Barbie doll’s packaging was also given the regal touch with incredible attention to detail and a little inspiration from across the pond. Inspired by rooms found in Buckingham Palace, the physical box embodies the same grand nature as the doll with ornate gold detailing, a crest-shaped logo and a badge commemorating the queen’s 70th anniversary.

Those who remove the doll from the box will find a certificate of authenticity and a doll stand inside. The doll’s “Made to Move” body has a wide range of movement with more than dozen points of articulation, allowing collectors to pose the queen in their royal position of choice.

The Queen Elizabeth II Barbie doll will be available beginning Apr. 21, 2022 at Amazon, Walmart, Target and Mattel for a suggested retail price of $75.

Whitmer Unveils Environmental Plan At Traverse City Event

by

Governor Gretchen Whitmer today released the MI Healthy Climate Plan, a roadmap for Michigan to achieve economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050 with interim 2030 goals.

Governor Whitmer joined Liesl Clark, Director of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), business owners, tribal leaders, and students at a large solar array in Traverse City to announce the plan.

The MI Healthy Climate Plan proposes climate action that would create tens of thousands of clean-energy jobs, spur economic development and innovation, protect clean air and water, and improve public health. The MI Healthy Climate Plan builds off the leadership of tribal communities and cities and town across Michigan, in addition to the private sector.

“Michigan has been impacted by climate change, from a polar vortex and historic floods to dam breaks and week-long power outages. The MI Healthy Climate Plan identifies actions we can take to address climate change head-on, lower costs for Michiganders, ensure every Michigan worker has a good-paying, sustainable job, and every family has clean air, water, and a home powered by clean, reliable energy,” said Governor Whitmer. “If we follow the steps outlined in the plan and collaborate with public and private sector partners, we can build a Michigan where every Michigander has clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and access to healthy, affordable local food. Today, we are positioning Michigan to become the global center of clean energy innovation where workers can get good-paying jobs, from those that don’t require a college degree to careers in advanced engineering and science. We can protect our beautiful public lands and majestic Great Lakes, driven by our unyielding belief in a brighter future.”

“This is a uniquely Michigan plan. It was shaped by a multitude of Michiganders with varied perspectives on climate change,” said Liesl Clark, EGLE Director. “We heard from environmental justice, public transit, local food, and climate action advocates; an array of business and labor leaders; academic experts and local government officials; and concerned residents of all political persuasions and walks of life. The resulting MI Healthy Climate Plan will be a game-changer for Michigan’s economy and environment. It is a bold plan that a broad cross-section of Michiganders can rally around.”

In September 2020, the Governor committed Michigan to achieving economy-wide carbon neutrality no later than 2050. The goal included interim reductions of 28% by 2025, 52% by 2030, and maintaining net negative greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) after 2050. Concurrently, she charged EGLE, through its Office of Climate and Energy, to work alongside the Council on Climate Solutions to develop the MI Healthy Climate Plan, a state action plan to reduce GHG emissions and transition toward economy-wide carbon neutrality.

The plan positions Michigan as a climate action leader and focuses on actions to spur economic development and create good-paying jobs, lower energy and transportation costs for working families and businesses, work towards energy independence, mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, improve public health, and protect natural resources and wildlife.

The MI Healthy Climate Plan identifies what needs to happen for Michigan to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 with a prioritization on actions from now until 2030. The plan’s recommendations fall around 6 pillars:

  • Commit to Environmental Justice and Pursue a Just Transition
  • Clean the Electric Grid
  • Electrify Vehicles and Increase Public Transit
  • Repair and Decarbonize Homes and Businesses
  • Drive Clean Innovation in Industry
  • Protect Michigan’s Land and Water

Minister Chaudhary directs authorities to prepare for Melamchi water distribution – myRepublica

by

KATHMANDU, April 20: Minister for Drinking Water Umakant Chaudhary has directed the authorities concerned to distribute Melamchi water to the Kathmandu Valley denizens from April 24. 

Minister Chaudhary directed the authorities concerned including Melamchi Project officials to do necessary works such as water processing.  Minister Chaudhary reached the processing center today and directed the concerned stakeholders to distribute water in a timely manner. 

The minister issued the directive in the context when water channelized from Melamchi sources at Helambu, Sindhupalchowk last week arrived at Sundarijal on Monday. “Last year’s flood brought boulders at the Melamchi source. The debris was cleared with the help of the Nepal Army. Please carry out necessary preparatory works, including water processing in a way to distribute tap water on April 24,” he said.

As the Constitution has guaranteed the right to pure drinking water and sanitation, no one will be left behind in accessing drinking water, the minister added.

Why ABM Supports The ‘Clean Air In Buildings Challenge’

by

In March, the Biden Administration launched its Clean Air in Buildings Challenge — an integral piece of the National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan released by the Administration earlier in March, to encourage building owners, schools, colleges and universities, building operators, and organizations to implement practices and strategies that improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and diminish the spread of COVID-19. ABM, a leading provider of integrated facility solutions, today announces its enthusiastic support of the new “Clean Air in Buildings Challenge” and continues its commitment to safeguard the places and spaces people occupy every day.

To prepare building owners and operators for the challenge of improving indoor air quality, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other federal agencies, provided a guide that details the four components of recommendations that include: creating a clean indoor air action plan, optimizing fresh air ventilation, enhancing air filtration and cleaning, and engaging the building community.

Josh Feinberg, chief strategy officer states, “At ABM, we applaud this action dedicated toward advancing the adoption of crucial indoor air quality guidelines. As we continue to navigate the uncertainty of COVID-19, it’s imperative that effective strategies are implemented to better equip organizational leaders to reduce the spread of the virus, thereby creating healthier spaces for all.”

Since the beginning of the year, states have been steadily removing mask mandates, re-opening facilities at full capacity, and no longer requiring proof of vaccination. As these protective protocols deescalate, there is an opportunity to apply key learnings and improve the health of the air within facilities. The Clean Air in Buildings Challenge, along with efficient standards of enhanced cleaning practices, provide a roadmap for building owners and operators to support the slowing the spread of COVID-19 variants and providing a better overall indoor environment.

Aligning with this objective, ABM continues to execute multi-pronged integrated facility service solutions for business decision makers and building owners and operators to deploy a holistic approach to facility health.

“Keeping occupants safe through incorporating proper ventilation, mechanical and control systems, along with several new and advanced technologies for biohazard disinfection of the air is critically important. The COVID-19 pandemic thrust a spotlight on the essential responsibility of companies to address the wellbeing of people, and businesses across industries must prioritize improvements to their facilities to achieve proper risk assessment in real-time,” says Nancy M. McClellan, ABM Expert Advisory Council.  

Congress, along with the Biden Administration, has allocated hundreds of billions of dollars towards infrastructure investment, including for schools, public buildings, and other facilities to improve indoor air quality by funding upgrades and enhancements to Heating, Ventilation, Filtration, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. ABM is an industry leader in providing EnhancedFacility services focused on improving IAQ to foster better occupant wellbeing through improved building health, safety, and efficiency that helps reduce viral transmission.

California streamlines workplace pandemic rules — including masking and exclusion pay

by

California workplaces will see some minor changes to coronavirus prevention procedures under new rules adopted Thursday that will last until year end. Many of the rules are now tied to California Department of Public Health guidelines, giving them more flexibility since that agency can be more nimble in adapting to changing conditions.

The Cal/OSHA Standards Board, a seven-member body appointed by the governor to oversee workplace regulations, approved the streamlined regulations Thursday. The board convened in person for the first time in two years at a hybrid meeting where people who wished to give public comments could do so either in person or by video conference.

Defaulting to CDPH rules on challenging issues “is a reasonable approach to keep up with the rapid pace of developments and changes,” said Pamela Murcell, president of the California Industrial Hygiene Council, during public comments. Her group advocates for the industrial hygiene profession.

Ben Ebbink, a partner at management law firm Fisher & Phillips, speaking after the meeting, said the real significance lies in the fact that the state will continue to have Emergency Temporary Standards for workplaces through the end of the year.

Since California dropped most masking requirements, the most visible pandemic restriction, many businesses were tempted to feel as if COVID were over, he said. The rules remind them that they still have to take steps to keep workplaces compliant.

And the timing is fortuitous. “In the past two weeks we’ve gotten more calls about outbreaks than in previous months,” Ebbink said. “We’re back to employers seeing more positive cases and having to remind themselves what to do in outbreak situation, with the fluctuating nature of this virus.”

California is currently averaging about 2,700 new cases a day, or 6.9 per 100,000 people, while the death rate averages 20 cases a day, according to state data.

Changes in the new standards include:

• There are no distinctions between treatment of vaccinated and unvaccinated employees.

• Requirements for barriers, partitions and physical distancing were axed in favor of a focus on improved air supply, ventilation and air filtration.

• Requirements for surface cleaning and disinfecting were removed.

• Face covering requirements were relaxed, with no requirement that unvaccinated workers wear them. As per CDPH guidelines, masks are required only in emergency shelters, cooling/heating centers, health care settings, correctional facilities, homeless shelters and long term care. Face coverings are no longer required on employer-provided transportation either.

• Using at-home tests is now easier as workers just have to provide a time-stamped photo of test results rather than a video.

• Employees who test positive now can return to work after five days if they test positive and wear face coverings for another five days.

The most controversial aspect of the latest regulations is that they maintain exclusion pay — continuing an employee’s salary and benefits if they have to stay home because of a workplace exposure — even though lawmakers have approved supplemental sick leave until September.

Several employer representatives said the wording of the regulation, which says that exposed employees should receive exclusion pay until they test negative, could encourage workers to refuse tests so they would receive more paid time off.

“This incentivizes employees to refuse testing after exposed because they will receive more exclusion pay,” said Rob Moutrie, policy advocate at the California Chamber of Commerce.

“There should not be a perverse incentive to refuse testing,” said Megan Shaked, an attorney representing California Employers COVID-19 Prevention Coalition, a business group.

However, labor and worker advocates hailed the continuation of exclusion pay.

“Guaranteed inclusion pay for positive COVID cases is necessary for worker safety and health,” said AnaStacia Nicol Wright, an attorney at Worksafe, which advocates for worker safety. “As time goes on, the burden for exclusion pay will become minimal. As the pandemic fades, there will be fewer cases, so exclusion pay won’t be as relevant.”

Eric Berg, CalOSHA deputy chief of Health and Research and Standards, said that other state regulations allow employers to mandate tests for workers as a job necessity, meaning that workers should not be able to refuse tests.

Woosh Air Filtration Company Launches First Consumer Product On Kickstarter – Nonwovens Industry Magazine

by

Woosh, a technology company focused on improving indoor air quality and HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) performance using data, is launching its first consumer product on Kickstarter while announcing a raise of $1.3 million in funding.

Woosh is the brainchild of former Google product manager Winston Mok, who became frustrated with the 2019 California wildfires and struggled to find room air purifiers in stores as the air quality index (AQI) passed 150 in San Francisco. Mok decided to build his own and quickly learned that portable room air purifiers do not solve the problem of air quality for the entire home. “Working from home made me realize that consumers are blind to the air we are breathing and that the average air filter is rated at Merv 6, which does not capture smoke, bacteria, or virus carriers. In-room air filters are just bandaid solutions as the real problem to solve is the HVAC system for the entire home,” explains Mok.

This problem was amplified in 2020 with the bombardment of the Covid-19 virus, when Google mandated all its employees work from home, stressing the importance of air quality as homes became the new office for the world. Mok recognized three recurring problems 1. consumers have no visibility into the air quality of their homes, 2. consumers do not know when their HVAC filter needs to be changed, and 3. That low-quality filters do not capture harmful bacteria or viruses.

Mok leveraged his Google experience and mechatronics engineering background to build prototypes using his home three-dimensional printer, air filters, and computer sensors. He left his well-paying Google career to follow his passion and meet the challenge to solve this problem globally. With prototype in hand, Mok raised a $1.3 million pre-seed round in a matter of weeks from executives from Google, Life360, TI Platform, and startup founders: Alex Haro, Chris Nguyen and Matt Humphry.

Woosh is officially launching on Kickstarter with expectations to deliver the consumer product in Q4 2022.

Woosh’s first product will have an injection-molded frame that allows filters to be changed like a Swiffer Sweeper which reduces waste to landfills. The smart filter is connected to a home Wi-Fi and transmits data to a mobile app, allowing filters to be delivered to homes in a subscription format. Woosh will use MERV13-rated filters that capture >50% of viruses and bacteria (including Covid-19).

Mok has big plans for his product. “What Nest did for the home thermostat is what we want to do for HVAC air filters. I left my job in 2021 with the goal to ensure everyone has the best air quality in their homes while providing important data to homeowners,” he states. “The goal is to ensure someone like my father, who’s 81 years old, and every other household member from infancy to their golden age, is receiving hospital-grade air quality on autopilot.”

MONTVALE, N.J., April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Sharp’s world-renowned Plasmacluster™ air purifiers have been certified as a “World’s Leading Air Purifier Brand” by Euromonitor International Limited.

The EPA states the concentration of some indoor pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations. Sharp is especially proud to offer high quality air purifiers because, according to the EPA, when used properly, air purifiers can help reduce airborne contaminants including viruses in a home or confined space.

“Sharp believes becoming a World’s Leading Air Purifier Brand is earned by creating high-quality products that consumers desire. Sharp Plasmacluster air purifiers in the United States are certified by independent laboratories including AHAM for CADR ratings and power consumption. They are also certified by California Air Resources Board (CARB) that they meet CARB’s strict ozone emission standards,” says Peter Weedfald, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Sharp Home Electronics Company of America.

Sharp Plasmacluster air purifiers in the United States feature long-life 2-year or 5-year filters (depending on the model) to help ensure a lower total cost of ownership. Each model is recommended by room size, and the generous product coverage area at one air change per hour gives you the flexibility you need to find a model that is a perfect fit for every room in your home.

7 Ways To Get Creative and Decorate Your Home on the Cheap

by

When name brand companies have excess inventory, canceled orders and closeouts, they often sell the items to furniture liquidators. In turn, you’re able to buy these pieces at a steep discount. 

This can be a great alternative to a traditional furniture store, as the average cost to furnish a house is $16,000, according to HomeAdvisor. However, the cost of furnishings varies greatly, according to the size of your home, budget and whether or not you have champagne taste.

For example, the price tag decreases significantly to around $3,500 for basic furnishings for a one-bedroom apartment — but that’s still a lot. Shopping at a furniture liquidation store can allow you to score top quality furniture you wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise.

Free webinar to consider whether sustainable drainage can solve the UK’s water quality challenges

by

NCE has joined forces with Wavin to bring you a free webinar to consider the potential of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to improve water quality in the UK.

The new Environment Act firmly placed sewage overflows into UK rivers and coastal waters firmly in the spotlight and sets out a framework for change, including placing a duty on government to publish a plan by September to reduce the frequency, duration and volume of sewage discharges.

In the face of more extreme weather events due to climate change and without additional funding to drive this change, alternative ideas and collaboration is going to be essential. This webinar, taking place at 11am on 25 May, will explore the potential opportunities SuDS could offer by attenuating surface water run off and reducing the risk of sewage being released by combined sewer overflows.

An expert panel of speakers will set out the scale of the problem when it comes to the impact of surface water volume on sewage overflows and the challenges ahead if it is not addressed soon.

The group will look at projects that have already successfully implemented SuDS solutions and worked collaboratively to reduce surface water flooding and examine the factors behind those achievements.

Some of the questions that will be addressed include:

  • Exploring the factors that lead to successfully implementing SuDS solutions
  • A review of who has responsibility and should bear the cost for greater adoption of SuDS to meet the demands of the Environment Act – does it lie at the door of water companies or the local authorities?
  • If the lead party and funding can be agreed, what framework is needed nationally to ensure change is delivered at a larger scale than site by site?
