- Tobacco use kills over 400,000 Americans annually and costs nearly $100 billion in health care costs, while tobacco companies spend over $12 billion on marketing. Comprehensive tobacco prevention programs are proven to reduce smoking and help smokers quit.
- States collect over $25 billion annually from tobacco taxes and settlements, yet fund tobacco prevention programs at only a fraction of the recommended levels. Increasing funding of these programs to CDC-recommended levels would cost less than 15% of current tobacco revenues and save lives.
- Studies show that increased investment in tobacco prevention programs significantly reduces youth and adult smoking rates, as well as saving states money through lower tobacco-related healthcare costs over time. States should uphold their commitment to use tobacco
The document discusses using Hammer.js and Angular.js to create native-like gesture experiences for mobile web apps. It describes how Hammer.js handles gesture events and provides examples of simple triggers. It then details the team's solution of creating an Angular directive called "ui-gesture" that uses Hammer.js to listen for drag, dragdown, dragup and release events. The directive renders the events, switches logic based on event type, and uses requestAnimationFrame for responsive animations. Tips are provided on preventing default behaviors and propagation. A demo of the solution is linked.
Off-highway diesel engines emit large amounts of toxic pollution that harms public health. They contribute 45% of particulate matter and 29% of nitrogen oxides from mobile sources in the US. Diesel exhaust causes lung cancer and other respiratory illnesses, and increases risks for children. California and Texas are the top polluters, while New York and Los Angeles have the most emissions from these engines among metro areas. However, emission standards for off-highway engines lag behind those for highway engines.
Off-highway diesel engines are major sources of air pollution that impact public health. They contribute 45% of particulate matter and 29% of nitrogen oxides from mobile sources in the US. Diesel exhaust particles can cause or worsen health problems like asthma and have been linked to cancer. California and Texas have the highest emissions levels from these engines. Stricter standards have reduced highway pollution but off-highway standards lag behind.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Toxic Power: How Power Plants Contaminate Our Air and States
1. August 2012
Toxic Power
How Power Plants Contaminate
Our Air and States
2. Note
This report analyzes publicly available data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI). Facilities that release significant quantities toxic chemicals must report these releases, including
industrial air emissions, to TRI annually. The data in this report serves as an update to a similar report NRDC released
in 2011, also entitled Toxic Power.
Changes in this report include new mercury and air toxics emissions data, updates to pollution control status at
covered power plants, and different power plant ownership. State and power plant rankings are also adjusted to reflect
the updated information.
3. Introduction
The electric sector is the largest industrial (stack) source of toxic air pollution in the United States. In fact, in 2010 coal-
and oil-fired power plants alone accounted for nearly 44 percent of all reported toxic pollution from industrial sources.
Thanks to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), however, toxic pollution from power plants should decline
dramatically over the next several years.
The EPA recently finalized the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) which requires significant reductions in
mercury and air toxic emissions. Compared to 2010 levels, the standard will reduce mercury pollution from 34 tons to 7
tons, a 79% reduction, by 2015. Sulfur dioxide pollution will be reduced from 5,140,000 tons in 2010 to 1,900,000 tons
in 2015, a 63% reduction. Another dangerous acid gas, hydrochloric acid, will be reduced from 106,000 tons in 2010 to
5,500 tons in 2015, a 95% reduction.
With those and other pollution reductions resulting from the standard, as many as 11,000 premature deaths and
130,000 asthma attacks, 5,700 hospital visits, 4,700 heart attacks, and 2,800 cases of chronic bronchitis will be avoided
in 2016. The public health improvements are also estimated to save $37 billion to $90 billion in health costs, and
prevent up to 540,000 missed work or “sick” days each year.
Despite the significant benefit to public health, power companies continue to sue to block the pollution reductions, and
some in Congress have repeatedly sought to repeal, weaken, or delay the standards. However, as long as Congress
and the courts allow the EPA to do its job, the threat from toxic power will decline significantly in the future.

4. The Toxic Twenty
The Toxic Twenty states are the top states responsible for a disproportionate share of toxic emissions from the U.S.
electric sector. In 2010, these Toxic Twenty states accounted for approximately:
92% of electric sector toxic air pollution
72% of electric sector mercury emissions

7. Power Plant Updates
Recognizing that companies have been investing in control systems for toxic air pollutants, or plan to retire older,
inefficient generating units, this report identifies the current and future investment plans that will influence toxic
emissions after 2010. To the extent possible, any changes to plants that would reduce emissions or plans that have
been announced since 2010 are indicated in this report. Table 3 describes the types of projects described in this report.
Update Type Symbol Criteria
Since 2010, the plant owner has installed or announced plans to install advanced
Controls emission controls on at least one unit at the plant.
Since 2010, the plant owner has repowered or announced plans to repower at
Repower least one unit at the plant.
Since 2010, the plant owner has retired, announced plans to retire, or has
Retire considered plans to retire at least one unit at the plant.
Notes
For the purpose of this report, advanced emission controls include: flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) systems, activated carbon injection (ACI)
equipment, and fabric filters—often called baghouses.
A repowering project typically involves converting a coal-fired power plant to burn a cleaner fuel, usually natural gas. Sometimes plants are
repowered using existing equipment, while other projects involve demolishing the existing plant and building a new facility at the same site.
