California woman arrested in theft of 65 Stanley cups - valued at nearly $2,500
By C Mandler
January 22, 2024 / 3:05 PM EST / CBS News
On Jan. 17, police in Roseville, California, discovered a 23-year-old woman had allegedly absconded with 65
Stanley cups from a nearby store — worth nearly $2,500.
"Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them," said the
Roseville Police Department in a statement on Facebook.
After being confronted by retail staff, the woman refused to stop, stuffing the cups into her car. She was
subsequently arrested on a charge of grand theft and has yet to be identified by officers.
"While Stanley Quenchers are all the rage, we strongly advise against turning to crime to fulfill your hydration
habits," said the Roseville police.
One commenter on the post pointed out that in addition to the trove of cups in the trunk and front seat, there
was also a bright red Stanley cup in the cup holder, which they hoped police also confiscated. Colorful Stanley
cups caused consumer mayhem earlier this month when the brand dropped a limited-edition batch of
Valentine's Day colors of the popular tumbler at in-Target Starbucks locations.
Viral video showed shoppers running toward displays of the cups, as well as long lines of consumers waiting
to get their hands on one of the coveted Quenchers.

The Soldier’s Life: Radio Basics
Radios are vital military tools. They allow soldiers to stay in contact during combat and other operations. Most radios are made to hop frequencies. This system prevents enemy from listening to the full conversations. The SINCGARS (man-pack) and AN/PRC-148 (handheld) are common military radios.

Diversity, Inclusion and Gender Equity in the
Forest Management and Fire Prevention Program in Brazil
Women make up more than half of Brazil’s population and
account for 47 million (~50%) of the labor market. Despite these
numbers, women are still underrepresented in many sectors:
they occupy 37% of leadership positions in private companies;
only 15% and 13%, respectively, are federal Representatives and
Senators; and only 12% of cities have women as mayors. The
fewer women there are in leadership positions and in politics, the
lower the representation and scope of their interests and needs.
Coupled with that, men’s wages are, on average, 24% higher
than women’s who hold the same position. Furthermore,
Brazilian women dedicate, on average, 10.4 hours/week more
than men to household chores and caring for family members
(for example, children and the elderly), a type of work
characterized as “domestic” and unpaid. As a result, women
dedicate less time to professional improvement relative to men.
The fewer women in mixed gender work teams, the less likely
women are to excel in their roles and positions.
In Integrated Fire Management (IFM), women face similar
challenges, whether in coordination roles or technical and
operational ones. In Brazil, specifically, Solis and colleagues1
identified that there are no regulations or guidelines that
promote multiculturalism and gender equity in the processes of
hiring forest fire brigades. Although gender equity in IFM is
recognized, in Brazil this debate is still informal and poorly
documented.

Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting
Extends Beyond Wildfires
Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the
accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires. However, there
are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire
service, including new hazards and medical emergencies,
emerging training challenges, population migration, and
technology developments.
Climate change is often discussed as a future event. However,
the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how
climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and
emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.
The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can
be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires.
Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe
to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less
rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.

Text 1A2-I
In 2020, the state of California experienced its worst
wildfire season on record, with the Bay Area fire becoming one
of the largest wildfires in American history. By the end of the
year, the state recorded more than 8,600 blazes that burned down
over 4 million acres of land, accounting for more than 4% of the
state’s total land area.
California is known for its wildfire seasons, which usually
take place between late summer and early autumn, though they
have been getting significantly more intense, destructive, and
longer in the past two decades. At least one-third of the worst
wildfires in USA (United States of America) history occurred in
California. But what causes California such susceptibility to
wildfires in the first place and what is causing the exacerbation
of it?
Wildfires can occur naturally and as a result of human
activity, but three elements must be present for a wildfire to start.
Fuel: Any flammable material surrounding a fire, which can
come in the form of live or dead trees, dry vegetation, and other
organic matter; Air: An abundance of oxygen supply. Heat
sources: to ignite and burn the fuel. This could take the form of
lightning strikes or human sources such as campfires or
cigarettes.
Natural wildfires, which are classified as natural disasters
by the Environmental Protection Agency, can start during low
precipitation, dry weather and droughts. During these conditions,
dry vegetation becomes the perfect fuel for wildfires and when
lightning strikes, it ignites a fire that can spread rapidly with the
aid of strong winds and elevated temperatures.

Why Climate Change Could Mean
More Delayed Flights
No one enjoys a delayed flight, but as our weather gets
warmer, we can expect more of them.
That's according to experts, who say that the heat of the
summer might cause more delays.
Bloomberg looked at US data for flight delays at airports in
Chicago and New York from June to August in 2022 and from
January to March in 2023. It found that there were more
delayed flights in the summer months at both airports.
When the temperature rises above 39 degrees Celsius,
things get very difficult for airlines, Bijan Vasigh, a professor
at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the US,
told Bloomberg.
The air is thinner when it gets hot and that makes it harder
for planes to take off. In thinner air there is not as much lift, so
more power is needed.
When they need more power, it helps to have a lighter
airplane.
That might mean pilots have to make last-minute decisions
to reduce the weight on board by dumping fuel, passengers
or baggage — meaning the plane will probably be delayed.
The problem gets worse at airports that are at a higher
altitude where the air is already thinner, and at airports with
short runways, since planes need more space to get up to a
high speed.
But thin air is not the only problem. Smoke from wildfires —
that have been happening all around the world in the summer
of 2023 —can also cause flights to be delayed and canceled.
Of course, the summer is also a busy time when millions of
people fly, and weather is not the only cause of delays — but
our hotter climate doesn't seem to be helping.

Car crashes into second floor
of Pennsylvania home
A man drove his car into the second floor of a
Pennsylvania home on Sunday in what officials say was an
"intentional act".
Charges are pending against the driver after police found
a grey vehicle sticking out of the side of the house in the city
of Lewistown.
Officials have not said how exactly the vehicle made its
way to the second floor. "The pictures speak for themselves", a fire official told the
BBC.
Anywhere from one to three people were inside the home
at the time of the crash but were not injured, according to
Sam Baumgardner, an administrator at the Junction Fire
Company, which assisted in the response to the crash.
The driver was able to climb out onto the roof after the
crash and was taken to the hospital with injuries, Mr
Baumgardner said.
He added that the car likely hit the second floor because
of a culvert - a tunnel that carries a stream under a road or
railway - on the left side of the house.
The driver "went into the culvert and propelled into the air
and landed on the second floor", Mr Baumgardner said.
In a report, Lewistown police said they had determined
through an investigation that the crash was "an intentional
act".
Officials added that the driver will face charges for the
crash.
The BBC has reached out to police for comment.
The fire department said it took about three hours to
remove the car from the second floor.
"The crew that was on the rescue definitely had to think
outside the box," Mr Baumgardner said.
Rescue crews helped stabilise the house and put a tarp
over the hole from the crash because of upcoming storms,
the Junction Fire Company said in a post on Facebook.

of Lewistown.
Officials have not said how exactly the vehicle made its
way to the second floor. "The pictures speak for themselves", a fire official told the
BBC.
Anywhere from one to three people were inside the home
at the time of the crash but were not injured, according to
Sam Baumgardner, an administrator at the Junction Fire
Company, which assisted in the response to the crash.
The driver was able to climb out onto the roof after the
crash and was taken to the hospital with injuries, Mr
Baumgardner said.
He added that the car likely hit the second floor because
of a culvert - a tunnel that carries a stream under a road or
railway - on the left side of the house.
The driver "went into the culvert and propelled into the air
and landed on the second floor", Mr Baumgardner said.
In a report, Lewistown police said they had determined
through an investigation that the crash was "an intentional
act".
Officials added that the driver will face charges for the
crash.
The BBC has reached out to police for comment.
The fire department said it took about three hours to
remove the car from the second floor.
"The crew that was on the rescue definitely had to think
outside the box," Mr Baumgardner said.
Rescue crews helped stabilise the house and put a tarp
over the hole from the crash because of upcoming storms,
the Junction Fire Company said in a post on Facebook.
