Name: street address: « back | forward » « back tennessee continues to experience record-low unemployment, according to data released by the department of labor and workforce development. The rate for june came in at 3%, which was unchanged from the all-time low unemployment rate the state recorded in may. In a year-to-year comparison, tennessee’s june 2024 seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased by 0.1%. Employers added new jobs to tennessee’s workforce between may and june and increased nonfarm employment by 400 jobs. The mining, logging, and construction sector and the education and health services sector had the biggest gains in employment. The manufacturing sector also added a sizable number of new positions during the month. Over the year, nonfarm employment did decrease across the state by 5,900 jobs. The administrative, support, and waste services sector saw the largest dip in employment. The real estate, rental, and leasing sector experienced the next largest decrease, followed by the nondurable goods manufacturing sector. Nationally, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate inched up in june from 4% to 4.1%. The rate is 0.5% higher than it was in june 2023. Metro council unanimously passed on third reading the ballot language for mayor freddie o’connell’s transportation improvement program, choose how you move: an all-access pass to sidewalks, signals, service and safety. This is the fourth piece of critical legislation to pass unanimously this year; previous unanimous votes include the mayor’s capital spending plan, the fy2025 operating budget, and the east bank developer agreement with the fallon co. Investing in the city’s transportation system is uniquely popular among nashvillians. The latest polling from vanderbilt shows 84% of nashvillians support holding a transportation referendum, and 90% of people surveyed by imagine nashville agree that investing in citywide public transportation is an important priority. The election commission will now hold a final vote to approve the program’s placement on the november ballot. Information fans can now view progress on the new nissan stadium via a live camera that overlooks the construction site. The camera is live during typical site working hours. Site work has been underway since groundbreaking in february 2024, with excavation beginning shortly thereafter. Approximately 400,000 cubic yards of soil were excavated for the project, with the excavation process scheduled to conclude this week. Most soil will be exported off-site, while some will remain behind for other use during the project. The construction team is also drilling 767 piers into the ground that will support the building’s structure. More than 500 piers have been drilled thus far. Tennessee builders alliance, which includes nashville-based i.C.F. Builders, brentwood-based polk & associates, turner construction company and aecom hunt, is serving as the construction manager for the project. The stadium is scheduled to be complete in spring 2027. Home listings are piling up as buyers step back from the peak of home shopping season faster than normal, according to the latest monthly report from zillow. “A growing segment of homes that aren’t competitively priced or well marketed are lingering on the market. Sellers are increasingly cutting prices to entice buyers struggling with affordability,” said skylar olsen, chief economist of zillow. “For years, the housing market has been defined by fast sales and few options. Now it’s starting to look more like it did before the pandemic in terms of competition, if not costs. As the wait for mortgage rate relief drags on, slower price growth and even dips in some areas will help buyers catch up on saving for a down payment.” The total number of homes on the market has risen throughout the year, ticking up 4% from may to june to stand nearly 23% above last year’s low level. While inventory levels are still about 33% below pre-pandemic averages, that’s the smallest deficit since the fall of 2020, when the pool of available homes was quickly dropping. Inventory is higher than last year in all of the 50 largest u.S. Metropolitan areas except two – new york and cleveland – and rose month over month in all but five. Attractive listings are selling relatively quickly. But buyers still in the market are enjoying a few more days to weigh their choices than they had last summer. Homes sold in june were typically on the market for 15 days before the seller accepted an offer. That’s five days shorter than pre-pandemic norms, the smallest difference since june 2020. Brentwood-based kirkland’s, inc., A specialty retailer of home décor and furnishings, has been recognized as america’s no. 1 home goods & décor retailer by newsweek as part of its third annual ranking of america’s best retailers. Newsweek partnered with statista to survey more than 7,000 shoppers resulting in a ranking that recognizes the 200 best places to make a purchase. Survey participants were asked how likely they are to recommend a retailer and to give their thoughts on an outlet’s prices, selection and atmosphere. Customer service and accessibility were also considered. Sentriforce, a provider of video surveillance solutions, has announced the expansion of its services to major cities across the southern united states, including nashville, miami and jacksonville, florida, and atlanta and savannah, georgia. Sentriforce specializes in comprehensive video monitoring for construction sites, residential neighborhoods, apartment communities, retail commercial properties and municipal infrastructure facilities. Client requests prompted the recent growth, ceo chris peschang says, noting that many areas of the country lack local options for surveillance support. Sentriforce offers live, u.S.-Based video monitoring, intrusion response and dispatch, video investigation and ai-powered parking lot safety solutions. The company tailors its services to the unique needs of each industry served and leverages the latest technologies, including high-definition cameras, thermal imaging and license plate recognition. The tennessee department of environment and conservation last week announced $332,953 in grants for education, outreach and organics management for projects to help reduce landfill waste and increase recycling education in tennessee. The grant program encourages and supports local communities to meet solid waste and recycling goals. Local governments can divert more waste from landfills through infrastructure upgrades and provide convenient opportunities for residents to get engaged in the process. The grants are administered by tdec’s division of solid waste management. The education and outreach grant will help local governments produce material needed to consistently promote waste reduction and recycling best practices for established solid waste programs. The primary purpose is to inform residents what they can recycle, where they can recycle and when they can recycle. Organics management grants are for counties, cities, solid waste authorities and other tax-exempt nonprofit recycling entities designated as 501(c)(3) organizations. The grants prioritize public/private partnerships, new or expanded organics management services and reductions in food waste. Davidson county organizations totaled $130,053 in grants, including to metro government for education materials and a food scrap program, the tennessee environmental council for education materials, and rosebank elementary school for its composting program. Insufficient, irregular and poor-quality sleep is associated with many chronic conditions, including obesity, atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Those were the main conclusions of a study recently published in the journal nature medicine from corresponding author evan brittain, m.D., Msci, professor of medicine at vanderbilt university medical center. Unlike prior research, which relied on cross-sectional and self-reported survey data or polysomnograms, the study used objectively measured, longitudinal sleep data from commercial wearable devices linked to electronic health record data from the national institutes of health’s all of us research program. It is the largest study to date using this method. Brittain said the study shows that by getting enough sleep and reducing variability around sleep onset and wake times, patients can reduce the incidence of chronic disease. The insights gained from the research may inform clinical guidance around sleep to promote good health. The study examined 6,875 individuals who wore fitbit devices and collected sleep data for at least six months, along with their linked electronic health records. Because of inherent limitations in available data, the median age of participants was 50 years old, 71% were female, 84% identified as white and 71% had a college degree. The studied individuals tracked sleep with wearable devices for a median of nearly 4 ½ years. The study also suggested people might need less sleep each night than traditionally recommended. Surprisingly, brittain said, the study showed that seven hours was the median amount of sleep needed for good outcomes. Nominal, a defense technology company specializing in software solutions that accelerate the delivery of mission-critical hardware systems, is expanding its operations to tennessee with a nashville office. Nominal is focused on providing state-of-the-art software solutions that streamline the analysis, visualization and reporting of test data, and enhance the development and validation of complex hardware systems.

Name: street address: « back | forward » « back new signee calvin ridley had 76 receptions for 1,116 yards last season for the jaguars. As the titans open training camp this week, 2024 promises to be unlike nearly any season we have seen from this franchise – certainly in its time in tennessee. The offseason brought a plethora of changes and an entirely new approach to business as the titans fired mike vrabel and brought in first-time head coach brian callahan to not only overhaul the way the franchise operates, but also its entire way of playing the game. Callahan enters this training camp tasked with developing second-year quarterback will levis and building the offense around him. With the help of general manager ran carthon, the titans spent a good part of the offseason putting the necessary pieces in place to not only help levis, but change the entire complexion of the offense. This switch from a power running style, which over the years featured eddie george, chris johnson, lendale white, demarco murray or derrick henry, is the most radical change the franchise has undergone since 1994. That was when they fired jack pardee in midseason, ditched the run-and-shoot offense and elevated jeff fisher and his defensive-minded, running-first style to begin a 17-year run as head coach. Even years after fisher’s departure, the titans have mostly stayed true to a run-first mindset. But now, because of that pivot, it has meant an offseason (and subsequently regular season) unlike any other since the franchise landed in tennessee. There are two primary reasons that the titans wound up so busy this offseason. S jamal adams (seattle seahawks)cb chidobe awuzie (cincinnati bengals)g saahdiq charles (washington commanders)c lloyd cushenberry (denver broncos)lt jc latham (2024 1st round draft pick)lb kenneth murray (los angeles chargers)rb tony pollard (dallas cowboys)wr calvin ridley (jacksonville jaguars)qb mason rudolph (pittsburgh steelers)cb l’jarius sneed (kansas city chiefs)dt t’vondre sweat (2024 2nd round draft pick) dt denico autry (houston)lb azeez al shaair (houston)c aaron brewer (miami)lt andre dillard (green bay)cb kristian fulton (los angeles chargers)rb derrick henry (baltimore)cb sean murphy-bunting (arizona)qb ryan tannehill (free agent) the first, of course, is the switch in philosophy. Over the past couple of seasons, vrabel said multiple times that the titans simply were not built to drop back and throw the football 40 times a game. Vrabel was right in that regard, given that the titans yielded 113 sacks over the past two years. Now, it appears that the drop-back passing game and levis will be the centerpiece of what callahan wants to do. “I thought will was a really good player coming out of college, and i thought when you watched him play this year, you saw growth,” callahan said early in his tenure. “You saw him learn. The nfl is hard. It’s hard on quarterbacks. It’s particularly hard on young ones. “I saw a lot of really positive things. Some of the throws, some of his competitive instincts that he put on tape were really impressive,” callahan continued. “I’m excited to dive more into that. And how can he get better from year one to year two and keep putting him in position to have success so we can score some points on offense.” In order to make that happen, a team that hasn’t scored 30 points since the tail end of the 2021 season needed pieces of the puzzle from free agency and the draft in order to begin that transition. Key among that was that henry was allowed to leave and sign with baltimore, while former dallas cowboy tony pollard was brought in to pair with tjyae spears to give the titans two pass-catching running backs in the backfield. Carthon went out and landed veteran receivers calvin ridley and tyler boyd, both of whom have had 1,000-yard receiving seasons in their career to pair with holdover deandre hopkins who had 1,000 yards last year in his first season as a titan. Of course, all that is moot unless the titans improve a horrific offensive line – something they set out to do almost immediately when callahan brought his father bill on board to be the team’s o-line coach. The elder callahan has a reputation, much like former titans coach mike munchak, of being one of the league’s best offensive line minds with an ability to get the most out of what he has at his disposal. To help out there, the titans signed free agent lloyd cushenberry to replace undersized aaron brewer at center and drafted jc latham to fill the massive void at left tackle. Other free agent signings for the line will be sorted out in preseason in hopes of putting a competent starting five on the field to protect levis. Formers dallas cowboys running back tony pollard signed with the titans during the offseason to replace derrick henry, who signed a free agent agreement with the baltimore ravens. The second reason the titans have made so many changes this offseason – not only on offense, but also on defense – is simply the fact that the roster was threadbare at so many positions, thanks to poor drafting from 2020-22. Those draft misses created so many holes on the titans roster that there are literally no players left from the 2020 draft, and the only player currently listed as a starter from class of 2021 is safety elijah molden, who is not a lock to retain that role. The 2022 class has been a bit better, producing starting tight end chig okonkwo and nickelback roger mccreary, but there are still plenty of players from that group (most notably first-round pick treylon burks), who have yet to establish themselves as front line contributors. So that meant going back to the drawing board with the $87 million available in cap space. That allowed the titans to not only upgrade the line and find skill position players to fit callahan and levis, but it also allowed them to fill some needed holes on defense. Titans tackle jc latham, the team’s first-round draft pick and the seventh player taken overall, will need to step in quickly and help the team’s offensive line. The most notable changes there have been in a revamped secondary that added star cornerback l’jarius sneed for kansas city after he had been franchise tagged by the chiefs. Veteran cornerback chidobe uwozie and recently signed safety jamal adams figure to be key pieces of new defensive coordinator dennard wilson’s promised aggressive approach. Callahan talked earlier this offseason about targeting sneed and uwozie to upgrade at cornerback. Needing immediate starters, the titans moved quickly in free agency, seeing the quick fix there better for now than what was available in the draft. “You have a draft and you have free agency, and you target a lot of your free agency based on what’s available in the draft. So you might have some available defensive free agents, we felt like there were corners that we could sign,” callahan says. “Maybe there weren’t as many corners in the early parts of the draft that were of the same caliber. Those two processes work simultaneously. “As you add players of need in free agency, which is what free agency is for, you want to add at positions of need, the draft then opens up for you to take a bit more of an open-minded approach on what the best players are at those positions.” That said, as the titans move forward, look for the emphasis to shift back to developing players through the draft, so they don’t have to add so many new players in free agency. The titans were fortunate to find top-caliber players like sneed, ridley, cushenberry and pollard to add to their roster. But that likely won’t be the approach over the long haul as carthon and callahan get on the same page in player evaluation and development. “The hope is that, in the future, we are drafting and developing and just signing in free agency with a little more discretion,” callahan says. “We had to sign a bunch of players this year, but the goal is always to draft and develop and supplement in free agency each year.” Help | customer service copyright 1995 - 2024 by the nashville ledger - all rights reserved - privacy policy - about |

| Man arrested in California wildfire that forced thousands to evacuate |

A man was arrested on thursday, on suspicion of starting a fire that forced thousands to flee their homes overnight in a fast-moving fire in northern california, a prosecutor said.
butte county district attorney mike ramsey said in a statement that the man, whose name was not released, was jailed without bond on a butte county judges warrant after he was identified as the person seen pushing a flaming car into a gully on wednesday afternoon.
the vehicle fire spread flames that caused the park fire, which exploded overnight from about 1,400 acres (567 hectares) on wednesday near chico, california, to about 45,500 acres on thursday in californias central valley about 80 miles (130 km)north of the state capital sacramento.
few details were immediately available. The 42-year-old suspect was detained by arson investigators with the state california department of forestry and fire protection, or cal fire, along with police.
his arraignment is set for monday, according to ramsey, who did not specify what charges the man might face. A spokesperson for the butte county district attorneys office did not immediately respond to a reuters request for more details.
the park fire was only 3 percent contained on thursday morning, said cal fire spokesperson dan collins. No injuries were reported.
more than 4,000 people were evacuated in butte county and the city of chico, said megan mcmann, a spokesperson for the butte county sheriffs office.
a burning house is seen as park fire burns near chico, california, july 25, 2024.
the largest fire now burning in the united states, oregons durkee fire, has burned at least 240,000 acres, threatened multiple small towns, scorched ranch land and killed cattle by the hundreds, local media reported.
high winds, with gusts of 60 miles mph (97 kph) along with lightning strikes on wednesday and overnight could fan the flames, said marc chenard, a forecaster with the national weather service in college park, maryland.
the fire, about 100 miles northwest of boise, idaho, was zero percent contained on thursday morning. More wind was forecast and lightning possible.
there is zero percent chance of rain in the forecast for the region, chenard said.
smoke from fires in western canada and the pacific northwest is blamed for hazy skies and unhealthy air from the rocky mountains to chicago, weather reports said. Denver had the worst air quality in the u.S. And ranked the 22nd worst in the world, according to iqair, a group that tracks air pollution across the globe.
the air could be clearing later on thursday as a high pressure ridge rolls in bringing clearer skies, according to weather reports.
scientists and environmental advocates have long called for global leaders to phase out and end the reliance on fossil fuels to prevent catastrophic effects of climate change, including worsening wildfires.

| The Greatest Mutant Mind: Professor Charles Xavier Respect Thread - Professor X |
| Posted on Friday, July 26 @ 00:00:11 PDT (5 reads) | |
|
|
From the people that brought you multiple psychic respect threads of all kinds, we bring you
so, we finally made it to the most well-known of the telepaths. Champion for humanity and mutant relations and repeatedly honored as the most powerful telepath to ever exist*. Charles xavier had for the most part lived a privileged upbringing until his mother remarried. His stepfather was cruel to his step-brother, who in turn, took it out on charles. One day, as his father beat charles step-brother, charles mutant powers manifested and he experienced his brothers pain first-hand. Many events took place in-between, from charles losing his mother and step-father in a house fire, to graduating college and university, to meeting moira kinross (later known as moira mctaggert), and meeting erik lehnsherr. At one point, charles encountered an alien known as lucifer in the himalayas, who is responsible in that same encounter for crippling charles legs. He then continued his studies onwards until professor john grey asks a favor of him to meet with his daughter, jean grey. After meeting the then orphaned scott summers, charles found the other three students alongside scott, and later jean, to create the superhero team, the x-men. Nowadays, with the collective help of magneto, moira mactaggert, mister sinister, and his x-men, he has established a new nation on the island of krakoa, where it acts a safe-haven and society for mutantkind away from the fear and hatred that persecutes their kind.
*( this thread will start off with mostly his telepathy feats, but if you seek his accolades or his telekinesis feats [and maybe more down the line], please see comment #5 in this thread for those feats )

This was created after the first encounter against emma frost during the dark phoenix saga, but its best use is seen at the hellfire gala 2023 when cerebro-enhanced charles xavier put the entire mutant race under telepathic mind-control, leaving only the few with natural mental defenses, non-mutants, and mutants who knew the red triangle protocol leftover on earth.

(Marvel team-up vol 1 #118)
skill gallery to escape being trapped within his own body, charles xavier uses the brief moment dani moonstar makes contact with him to exchange bodies and travel to the astral plane, untethered from being held hostage by his dark side. This is impressive because not only his dark side capable of doing all things xavier himself is capable of, but he had been doubling his power by siphoning xaviers strength as the man slept. So, xavier basically bypassed an amped-evil version of himself. (The x-men and the micronauts #3) gallery charles xavier sneaks into his own mind under the nose of dark xavier, who is in control of xaviers body.

He also senses the approaching of the grandmaster. (Marvel super hero contest of champions #1) gallery charles xavier senses his dark side take down the x-men and enslave them in the microverse in his sleep. Though xavier cannot normally penetrate the dimensional barriers separating the main dimensional 616 from the microverse, it is noted that their is a connection to xavier that is funneling power to his dark side. Thus, xavier may very well be able to sense subconsciously what is going on through this connection.

Note: moondragon uses the mind gem as an amp and xavier notes that moondragon should be sensitive to telepathic calls with the gem. (Infinity crusade #3)
psychic fights gallery round 1- charles xavier vs dark xavier. Winner: dark xavier; initially, dark xavier was weakened due to being stabbed physically (which affected his astral form). Yet, xavier could not access his full powers because of dark xaviers mental wall, which meant that it was an even playing field more or less. The real xavier initially was winning, but was immediately caught off-guard upon learn dark xaviers (under the guise of the entity) identity. Thus, dark xavier took advantage of that moment of surprise to switch places with charles and take over charless body in the real world, leaving charles with the dying body. (The x-men and the micronauts #3) gallery round 2- charles xavier vs dark xavier. Winner: charles xavier; in this instance, charles defeats dark xavier by sneaking into his own mind and starts to attack himself, causing enough damage as to create physical damage to his body through exerting his powers beyond what his body could handle. Though charles had yet to pull the trigger for good, charles was very seriously threatening dark xavier with ending himself to destroy dark xavier, forcing the entity to flee charless body....Or so charles says. As we learn later, dark xavier does not completely leave, but remains dormant once more until his birth as onslaught. (The x-men and the micronauts #4) gallery dromedan vs xavier, jubilee, thing, and black panther. Winner: team. Dromedan is a powerful deviant experiment with psionic powers who sought to destroy life on earth more than once, having enough power to incapacitate ikaris, makkari, and zuras. Though the real psychic fight portion happens at at the last two panels, xavier is most notably integral to freeing black panther and thing from dromedans control and then shielding them, jubilee, and himself from droemdans influence, who has control of all of new york. Thus, despite taxing himself from shielding against dromedan, xavier seemingly has an upper hand throughout his fight with dromedan. So much so, that dromedan attempts to attack xavier physically, only to be thwarted by xavier directing jubilee, thing, and black panther to incpacitate him before xavier blasts him one last time with a psionic bolt into his containment chamber. (Real heroes #1) gallery professor x vs mentallo. Winner: xavier. Xaviers powers were slowly draining and being given to mentallo as he fought mentallo. Mentallo almost won, but xavier used a last ditch attack to defeat mentallo. (Marvel team-up #118) gallery amped-shadow king vs xavier and the x-men. Winner: x-men, barely. Polaris was amping shadow king greatly. This initially gave him the upper hand, but jean eventually brings her team to the astral plane while another team deals with polaris. In the end, xavier and the x-men manage to hold off shadow king long enough for the second team to cut off his nexus. Gallery xavier vs the phoenix force and the x-men. Winner: phoenix. The x-men here are a psychic manifestation based on xaviers memories by the phoenix force inside a comatose rachel summers head. Xavier recognized the illusion and beat the x-men.

(Excalibur vol 3 #5)
post-mkraan power boost (current) after scarlet witchs spell, xavier for a brief time had lost his telepathic powers, only to regain them after he was tossed into the mkraan crystal, a powerful object that acts as the nexus of all realities across the omniverse. Not only did xavier regain his original telepathics, but they were made stronger than they were before as a result. Thus, all telepathy feats after xavier regains his powers will go here to show a difference between his power levels now vs in the past.
power gallery cerebro-xavier catches xandras psychic scream filled with information on her genetic structure and her mind. He then takes off cerebro and psychically gets the five and mister sinister ready for her resurrection. (X-men: red vol 2 #4) gallery xavier mindwipes both the avengers and x-mens memory of the fight they had, allowing them memories that he deemed fit. It is notable that these teams included phoenix namor, rachel grey, and thor. A big hole in this feat though is jessica drew having better shielding than rachel, namor with 1/5th of the phoenix, and thor.

(Legion of x #10) gallery charles xavier telepathically freezes the mutants at the hellfire gala to stop them from attacking orchis. Since xavier takes off his cerebro helmet and still has them all under his control, this will be regarded as a normal xavier feat. This included mutants with strong psychic defenses like emma frost, exodus, hope summers, kitty pryde, rasputin iv, and so on. (X-men: hellfire gala 2023) gallery cerebro-charles xavier unleashes a psychic broadcast that hits every single mutant on the planet to leave through the krakoan gate off-planet. This included mutants with powerful psychic defenses like magik, exodus, hope summers, danielle moonstar, and so on. The only mutants who manage to resist the mass psychic wave are those armed with the red triangle protocol or those with natural psychic defenses like mystique (presuming they werent taught the protocol). (X-men: hellfire gala 2023; immortal x-men #14) gallery dying-cerebro-xavier psychically mind-wipes aoa apoacalypse and mister sinister (earth-trn992) the same way he did to magneto in the 90s.

(House of x #5) while battling amped-shadow king, xavier multitasks different feats to communicate with mystique, fantomex, and rogue. (Astonishing x-men vol 4 #5) gallery with jeans help as an anchor, charles uses cerebro to send wolverine through time to follow omega red using the cerebro sword empowered by mikhail.

Still, with jeans help, xavier manages to find logans mind in the past and bring him back in control while kicking out omega red. (X lives of wolverine #1-4) gallery xavier mind-wipes jean grey, iceman, beast, and angel. (Astonishing x-men annual vol 4 #1) gallery xavier communicates with krakoa empathically.

(X-men: legacy vol 1 #225) xavier mind-controls tempo to have scanners go offline at a set designation and wipes her memory of doing it. (X-men: legacy vol 1 #225) gallery cerebro-charles creates a psychic trojan virus to infect the legions mind called daedalus. It is a protocol based on some shiar techniques that infiltrate the higher functions of the mind and takes away their focus and control that breaks down their mind until they are rendered catatonic. This should in theory be painless, but it appears legion did feel pain near the beginning when the protocol started eating at his mind, possibly inferring that more powerful minds have greater resistance, which would theoretically lead to actual pain. It is uncertain if the pain goes away later on. (Legion of x #9, 10) gallery when sinister (a piece of sinisters mind possessing charles xavier) lets charles into the depths of his mind, charles is able to see everything that sinister is and knows, knowing when sinister is hiding something or lying to charles afterward.

after the astral plane merges with reality, allowing telepaths to manipulate reality, xavier puts his split head back together after an amped-shadow king incapacitates him. (Astonishing x-men vol 4 #12) gallery when red skull stole the part of xaviers brain that held his powers, a shard of xaviers soul went with it and was actively restraining red skull from accessing xaviers full powers. For context, when red skull became red onslaught, even at partial power levels, he was creating a psychic hate wave broadcast that enveloped the entire planet, causing everyone on the planet to act on their darker urges of hatred, prejudice, and even violent tendencies. (Uncanny avengers vol 1 #24; avengers and x-men: axis #1) xavier breaks out of the psychic loop that sinister puts him in to stop sinister from harming amanda mueller. (X-men: legacy vol 1 #214) gallery xavier resists the power of a meta-human, called the human adaptoid, who had the power of thirty telepaths and a biotoxin inducing sleep. Though xavier was incapacitated, he is notably still conscious enough to communicate with juggernaut for help and is the first to wake up. This psionic/biotoxin attack combination was so potent that everyone on krakoa was kod by its effects, including powerful telepaths like captain britain (betsy braddock), psylocke (kwannon), mister sinister, and emma frost. (X-men unlimited: infinity #18-20) gallery cerebro-xavier psychically defends against the uni-mind, a merging of multiple eternals, with help from emma frost, exodus, and hope summers copying exodus powers. According to druig, about half of the eternals attack force was what the uni-mind was composed of. (A.X.E.: Judgement day #1; immortal x-men #5) cerebro-xavier stops emma frost from interfering with the quiet council voting. It is not certain whether charles attacked emma or blocked her, but the feat itself is stopping her from interfering. (Immortal x-men #12) even after sinisters virus reattaches itself to charless dna through old tech that existed back in x-men: legacy vol 1, charless mind was too powerful for mister sinister to take control the same way he did back then. Sinister could only manage to control charles when he was asleep, which even then only included charless physical body. Charless psychic powers were off-limits because charless defenses would have noticed and would have had him stop sinister. (Immortal x-men #17) gallery charles, sage, and rachel put up a psychic alarm system on the astral plane to warn them of psionic threats invading. This comes into play several issues later when xavier is fighting nightmare. (X-men: unlimited infinity #62, 67)
range gallery with psylockes help, xavier connects to every psychic on the planet for different feats. (Astonishing x-men vol 4 # 11, 12) gallery as the white skull (xaviers mind controlling red skull after the man took xaviers brain), xavier helps an inverted dr. Doom and possessed-scarlet witchs produce another inversion spell to everyone affected by the original inversion spell so that they return to normal. This reached as far as the moon, so it can be assumed to be a global+ feat to a degree, since it is specifically targeting the inverted heroes and villains. (Avengers and x-men: axis #9) gallery charles xavier states that xandra neramanis, daughter of xavier and lilandra, ability to psychically broadcast across galaxies is an ability that comes from him, confirming he himself is still capable of this even in current day. (X-men: red vol 2 #4; marauders vol 2 #5)
psychic battles gallery xavier and everyone vs 1/2 phoenix scott and emma. Winner: full-phoenix scott; as the avengers and x-men helped, xavier and rachel were restraining scott and emma as best they could psychically. Sadly, scott took emmas piece and completed the phoenix force to kill xavier. (Avengers vs x-men #11; wolverine and the x-men vol 1 #18; uncanny x-men vol 2 #18) gallery the human-adaptoid vs cerebro-professor x, captain britain (betsy), and psylocke (kwannon). Winner: draw; for context, the adaptoid was a meta-human (with the power of thirty telepaths) who had launched a sneak attack on krakoa and rendered the inhabitants psionically asleep. Yet, after juggernaut and deadpool freed them, it appears charles, captain britain, and psylocke engaged him in a psychic battle, as deadpool and juggernaut engage him physically. This goes on long enough for xavier to wake up d-cel, a mutant with dilute kinetic energy powers, to defeat them and end the battle. Emma frost was also seen among the ones kod by the initial attack charles suffered, but it is unknown if she had joined the battle or even woke up, so this feat will go solely to charles, betsy, and kwannon. (X-men unlimited: infinity #18-20) gallery ghost xavier vs amped-shadow king. Winner: xavier; this was an ongoing fight that went on ever since xavier died in avx. Shadow king was amped by proteus at the time and had xavier imprisoned, but xavier bid his time and had help from his x-men to take down amahl. Feats coming from this fight are in the skill sections. (Astonishing x-men vol 4 #1-6) gallery xavier vs rachel grey. Winner: xavier; it was actually pretty evenly matched, where xavier even compliments how much more powerful rachel has grown. (Avengers vol 4 #29) gallery xavier vs sinister. Winner: charles; sinister had inserted his dna inside xavier and briefly took control of xaviers mind. But through sheer willpower, xavier prevailed over sinister. (X-men: legacy vol 1 #214) gallery xavier vs exodus. Winner: charles; charles had just comes out of brain surgery and got amnesia. In the battle, exodus tries to use xaviers memories against him. Yet, due to xaviers amnesia, exodus loses badly. (X-men: legacy vol 1 #209, 210) gallery xavier vs evil moira (legions persona). Winner: evil moira; this persona was created to fight back against dr. Nemesis work on curing davids schizophrenia. Xavier actually almost wins, but it uses moiras face to gain a momentary advantage. (X-men: legacy vol 1 #247) gallery quiet council psychics vs the uni-mind. Winner: krakoa psychics; a bit of a repeat, but xavier duels the uni-mind across the first half of an entire event in repeated sieges. The first six scans are in defense, but they are added here because a siege is a military tactic to exhaust the opposing army with repeated attacks. Xavier, thus, was fighting in multiple psychic fights with the uni-mind, which had zuras, one of the most powerful eternals, leading the charge. (A.X.E.: Judgment day #1, 3, 4; immortal x-men #5, 6; a.X.E.: Death to the mutants #1) gallery cerebro-charles xavier vs nightmare. Winner: stalemate; after a tired-xavier went through an entire adventure in an alternate version of the age of apocalypse timeline, xavier ends up back on the astral plane, his will fully revitalized, and fights nightmare to a standstill. They clash for multiple pages until nightmare accidentally trips the astral plane alarms of krakoa that alerts the psychics, thus interrupting their battle before it could reach a proper conclusion.

this summer, ncei is proud to celebrate 10 years of collaboration with the nasa develop program. For the past decade, ncei and nasa develop have worked together to offer hundreds of early career scientists a unique opportunity to work with the combined data and resources of both organizations. Ncei and nasa develop are proud to partner with the national integrated drought information system (nidis) to support drought-focused projects each year since 2018.
nasa develop welcomed eight young scientists this summer, who worked with ncei-based scientists and data on two different climate and conservation-related projects based in north carolina and vermont. Since the program’s inception in 2014, each team has contributed to efforts like creating flood risk maps for kentucky, analyzing agricultural trends in brazil, water availability in the sonoran desert, and much more.
ncei is proud to support nasa develop’s mission of “cultivating tomorrow’s earth observation users” and we look forward to continuing to work alongside each other to provide aspiring scientists the chance to engage with real-world data and materials.
summer 2024 project collaborations asheville urban development ii four interns worked in asheville, north carolina on a 10-week develop project titled “asheville urban development ii: mapping urban heat to support cooling initiatives and climate resilience planning in the greater asheville area.”
this project aims to address the exacerbation of heat exposure due to urban heat islands in asheville, particularly impacting vulnerable communities. Common features of urban landscapes, such as dark pavement and sparse vegetation, lead to low albedo (the fraction of light that a surface reflects) and reduced evapotranspiration (the process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere) causing temperatures to skyrocket. In partnership with the city of asheville sustainability department and asheville greenworks, the project identified urban heat islands by juxtaposing land surface temperature, albedo, evapotranspiration, and social vulnerability data to identify locations in asheville most in need of heat mitigation measures.
vermont wildland fires four interns participated in the 10-week develop project titled “vermont wildland fires: investigating the role of antecedent conditions and recent environmental trends in exacerbating fire risk and potential in vermont”. Working virtually, this project brought understanding to which environmental factors contribute to increased fire risk in vermont. To investigate trends related to fire risk in the state, this project partnered with the national weather service (nws) (burlington, vermont weather forecast office), the vermont division of forests, noaa national integrated drought information system (nidis), nasa goddard space flight center, and the university of vermont to examine links between antecedent conditions preceding fire events in vermont, and trends in environmental parameters related to fire risk.

| Man arrested in California wildfire that forced thousands to evacuate |

A man was arrested on thursday, on suspicion of starting a fire that forced thousands to flee their homes overnight in a fast-moving fire in northern california, a prosecutor said.
butte county district attorney mike ramsey said in a statement that the man, whose name was not released, was jailed without bond on a butte county judges warrant after he was identified as the person seen pushing a flaming car into a gully on wednesday afternoon.
the vehicle fire spread flames that caused the park fire, which exploded overnight from about 1,400 acres (567 hectares) on wednesday near chico, california, to about 45,500 acres on thursday in californias central valley about 80 miles (130 km)north of the state capital sacramento.
few details were immediately available. The 42-year-old suspect was detained by arson investigators with the state california department of forestry and fire protection, or cal fire, along with police.
his arraignment is set for monday, according to ramsey, who did not specify what charges the man might face. A spokesperson for the butte county district attorneys office did not immediately respond to a reuters request for more details.
the park fire was only 3 percent contained on thursday morning, said cal fire spokesperson dan collins. No injuries were reported.
more than 4,000 people were evacuated in butte county and the city of chico, said megan mcmann, a spokesperson for the butte county sheriffs office.
a burning house is seen as park fire burns near chico, california, july 25, 2024.
the largest fire now burning in the united states, oregons durkee fire, has burned at least 240,000 acres, threatened multiple small towns, scorched ranch land and killed cattle by the hundreds, local media reported.
high winds, with gusts of 60 miles mph (97 kph) along with lightning strikes on wednesday and overnight could fan the flames, said marc chenard, a forecaster with the national weather service in college park, maryland.
the fire, about 100 miles northwest of boise, idaho, was zero percent contained on thursday morning. More wind was forecast and lightning possible.
there is zero percent chance of rain in the forecast for the region, chenard said.
smoke from fires in western canada and the pacific northwest is blamed for hazy skies and unhealthy air from the rocky mountains to chicago, weather reports said. Denver had the worst air quality in the u.S. And ranked the 22nd worst in the world, according to iqair, a group that tracks air pollution across the globe.
the air could be clearing later on thursday as a high pressure ridge rolls in bringing clearer skies, according to weather reports.
scientists and environmental advocates have long called for global leaders to phase out and end the reliance on fossil fuels to prevent catastrophic effects of climate change, including worsening wildfires.
