COVID-19 higher in New York — again — than other parts of the U.S.

COVID-19 levels are rising again in New York, at a time when pandemic-era safety measures have all but disappeared, with masking gone by the wayside, mass vaccination sites closed and some data tracking — such as cases in schools — eliminated.

According to the current U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 map, updated Sept. 29, most New York counties have medium or high levels of COVID-19, as indicated by shading in yellow and orange. The rest of the U.S. is overwhelmingly pigmented green on the map, indicating low COVID-19 levels.

Record turkey prices expected as holidays approach – Texas Farm Bureau (Me: Bird flu has biggest impact increase in turkey prices)

Consumers can expect to pay record high prices at the grocery store for turkey this upcoming holiday season thanks to the impacts of avian influenza and inflation. American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) economists analyzed turkey and egg costs in the latest Market Intel.

The retail price for fresh boneless, skinless turkey breast reached a record high of $6.70 per pound in September, 112% higher than the same time in 2021 when prices were $3.16 per pound. The previous record high price was $5.88 per pound in November 2015, during the 2015 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak.

Inflation is contributing to the price increases. All retail food prices were 11.4% higher in August compared to the same time last year.

Jamaican solar and energy conservation company lights up in energy transition

Petchary's Blog

We need more stories on climate change (and solutions) written by regional (Caribbean) writers. This was the idea behind Climate Tracker’sCaribbean Energy Transition Journalism Programme for thirty young journalists from Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and Guyana. Sad to say (and I am not sure why) Jamaicans taking advantage of this opportunity were few and far between; I am not sure why climate change issues are not of great interest to Jamaican journalists – but hope this perception of mine is wrong. Nevertheless, Jamaican reporters do a good job reporting, almost daily, on climate change-related issues – droughts affecting farmers, floods, coastal erosion, and more. Perhaps it is making that connection that is missing.

Come on, Jamaican journalists, I know you can do better! Perhaps a weekly television feature like Al Jazeera’s “Earthrise” programme would be impactful.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Ryan Bachoo will be representing the Caribbean at COP27 in…

Don’t Allow Stress to Snatch Your Fire and Passion from Your Spiritual Health

From Behind the Pen

Image Credit: Anna Samoylova

There are so many people experiencing a spiritual recession right now. An economic recession is a significant decline in economic activity found in production, employment, and income. A recession begins when the economy reaches the pinnacle of economic activity and ends when the economy reaches its lowest point of activity. Yet, how does this affect our spiritual health? Does it send it spiraling into a spiritual recession?

Indicators of a spiritual recession result in a decline in our groundedness, communion, and fellowship with God. Is our spiritual recession a result of us taking our attention off of God, but now we somehow find ourselves weak, weary, frustrated, depressed, and crying out to Him for help?

When experiencing a spiritual recession, you tend to lack hope, energy, purpose, connection, confidence, excitement, and faith. You lose your fire, and your passion is diluted by stress. For the moment…
