Within the last year or so I have taken 3 excellent classes at LCS - one on getting my driver's license - the instructor even went with us that day to help - I think everyone passed - advanced care planning - and last week on medicare in Mx (by a US medicare specialist) (which helped me understand what could NOT be covered)

I was surprised to see that members could not ask questions at a board meeting - unless the question was given - in writing - to the president - 24 hours in advance. Hopefully he is easily always available in the LCS office to just hand over the question And my recall is that the meeting agenda does not have a requirement to be published 24 hours in advance - before the cutoff for questions in writing. ? I have not attended a lot of non profit board meetings - but a few - and questions from attendees were always welcome. Is discouraging questions with a pre-approval required a normal practice for a community non profit - ? Also what about publishing an agenda? Ok for it not to be published 24 hours etc in advance of meeting from the LCS Website - Any LCS member may attend a Board meeting as an observer, except for closed sessions. Any member may speak — provided a request has been made to the President in writing, stating the subject and purpose, not less than 24 hours prior to the Board meeting.

interesting - I do hope LCS is responsive to applicants for the treasurer position. After the (interesting) LCS annual meeting, I did volunteer for the audit committee and my application was acknowledged and I was advised someone would get back with me shortly. Note - The reason I volunteered was that Steve said LCS did not have any volunteers for the audit committee. I guess one needs to define shortly - after the next 9 days of silence (after we will get back with you shortly) , I did withdraw my application as I did expect some sort of response within several days - based on my experience working in for profits and non profits - and decided the silence was not a good start - so better off un volunteering And did receive the recent email that Executive Director, Luis F. Pacheco will no longer be with LCS. So appears that several positions are open - Executive Director and Treasurer and Audit Committee.

Very mixed reviews on Temu - 3 major issues that I am aware of 1) yesterday in the news - U.S. lawmakers push for import ban on Temu shipments, citing forced labor concerns. Read the full article 2) Made consumer reports US weekly email - Is Temu safe? Lawsuit claims app hacks 'literally everything' Temu is one of the most popular apps, but issues surround it, including a lawsuit that says it has access to "literally everything" on users' devices. If you paid attention to Super Bowl commercials Sunday, you surely couldn't have missed the multitude of ads for Temu. The Chinese-backed e-commerce platform aired three commercials during the big game and two that played after, likely costing upwards of $30 million in total for the coveted — yet wildly expensive — broadcast slots. Yet the investment appears to have reaped gains already, with the Temu app ranking second in Apple's chart of most downloaded free apps Monday. But while Temu promises that its low prices on everything from clothing to technology allow customers to "shop like a billionaire," some of those customers say the promise is a ploy to allow the app itself to shop — for users' private data. 3) And then their is the better business bureau - https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/boston/profile/online-shopping/temucom-0021-553943/customer-reviews half and half And lots pf buyers don't care about these issues and have no problem ordering from them. Some have problems - some don't.

yes far from settled science - guessing AI will help a lot. I wonder how correct models are -as we aren't there yet - That said, climate change is real - and can easily have more impact than forecast. Here we don't see a lot of changes - yes a bit colder or hotter - things are very different in other parts of the world that we usually never hear about - for example This year's deadliest climate disaster was a flood in Libya that killed more than 11,300 people in the coastal city of Derna. In a single day, Storm Daniel unleashed 200 times as much rain as usually falls on the city in the entire month of September.Dec 31, 2023 https://cleantechnica.com/2023/12/31/climate-scientists-agree-2023-was-bad-but-the-worst-is-yet-to-come/#:~:text=2023%20Was%20A%20Year%20Of,the%20entire%20month%20of%20September.

and here is another good source of climate info - an occasional newsletter. James Hansen, formerly Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, is an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University's Earth Institute, where he directs the Program on Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions. Here is a summary of today's newsletter - sorta techie - but shows a lot going on https://www.climatescienceawarenesssolutions.org/communications Abstract Record global temperature in 2023 helps reveal acceleration of global warming on decadal time scales. The proximate cause of the acceleration is increase of Earth’s energy imbalance, specifically a substantial darkening of the planet (decreased albedo) equivalent to a CO2 increase of more than 100 ppm, although it is difficult to apportion the albedo change between aerosol forcing and cloud feedbacks because of limited global measurements. Large 2023 warming is consistent with key findings in Global Warming in the Pipeline:[3] reduced aerosol cooling and high climate sensitivity. We expect record monthly temperatures to continue into mid-2024 due to the present large planetary energy imbalance, with the 12-month running-mean global temperature reaching +1.6-1.7°C relative to 1880-1920 and falling to only +1.4 ± 0.1°C during the following La Nina. Considering the large planetary energy imbalance, it will be clear that the world is passing through the 1.5°C ceiling, and is headed much higher, unless steps are taken to affect Earth’s energy imbalance.

After watching " pet fooled " on tubi Or Netflix and reading about problems with some popular dog dry food I am going to change my dogs diet to organic all raw biologically appropriate- Any suggestions locally? I am astounded at the lack of regulation and my own ignorance. I can't change the Iack of regulation but hopefully can reduce my ignorance starting with actually reading and understanding the ingredients in the food that I give to my dog Update: the problems also apply to popukar cat dry food also

No more gourmet garage as their new mall name is gourmet goods. So now you know where to go to purchase gourmet cheetos I wish them success - just seems like a strange move for them. I did try to purchase some products from them but could not find anything needed or wanted

an interesting way of measuring success is sales per square foot - that of course gets challenging to measure when they do receive some money for sales that are not sales per square foot. Also - when in Hola, Fresh and Gourmet, is it apparent that they aren't thinking about sales per square foot - so assume they really don't have such a thing as a business plan or at least a worthwhile one - HA. Here is Trader Joes Trivia - In 2020, grocery chain Trader Joe's gross average revenue per square foot was about $2,130—nearly double its competitors.
