Running is has a very low barrier to entry‚ the ability to do it on one's own‚ all while reaping great health benefits in the process. “It’s the perfect sport for a pandemic‚” The New York Times wrote in 2021‚ explaining the surge in popularity of running in the face of Covid-19 restrictions. “All you need is a pair of shoes and a six-foot buffer from the next person‚” the author Talya Minsberg described what she called a “back-to-basics exercise boom.” With gym closures and restrictions on indoor activities and team sports‚ people turned to outdoor exercise as a safe and accessible way to stay active and maintain their physical and mental well-being. Running offered a sense of freedom‚ a chance to escape the confines of home‚ and an opportunity to connect with nature amidst lockdowns and social distancing measures. And while Covid-19 restrictions have long been lifted‚ many pandemic runners have kept at it‚ thanks to the addictive nature of a sport often belittled as boring and repetitive. According to a 2023 survey of roughly 4‚000 active runners conducted by RunRepeat‚ almost 30 percent of the respondents started running during the pandemic.Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store&;#33; Get 40% OFF on the next evolution in activated nascent iodine HERE So what is it that motivates runners to tie their laces several times a week&;#63; Beyond the immediate health benefits‚ the motivation to run often stems from a desire for personal challenge‚ stress relief and the pursuit of fitness goals. As Statista’s Felix Richter shows in the chart below‚ based on survey data from Running USA‚ shows‚ staying in shape and healthy is by far the most-cited reason to run in the post-pandemic world‚ followed at quite some distance by stress relief and simply enjoyment. Chart Whether it’s training for a race‚ improving cardiovascular health or simply enjoying the hypnotic rhythm of footfalls on pavement‚ running has become a cornerstone of many people’s daily routines‚ fostering a global community united by a shared passion for movement‚ fresh air and athletic achievement.

Transport minister accused of 'scaremongering'. German Transport Minister Volker Wissing has come under fire after saying the country may need to implement a ban on driving on weekends during the summer if reforms to their controversial Climate Protection Act are not passed by July. Germany’s transportation sector has been struggling to meet its client targets‚ even as they managed to bring their greenhouse emissions down to their lowest level in 70 years last year. The country’s climate protection law dictates that sectors that are underperforming in this regard must take steps to get back on track toward meeting the goals. The German transport ministry said that it will be more difficult to reform their sector than other parts of the nation’s economy because it is difficult for people to make significant changes when it comes to transportation in a short period of time. Wissing said that if incoming amendments to the law – which would permit the transport sector to miss some of its carbon dioxide reduction targets as long as the country meets its overall emissions target – are not approved soon‚ the ministry will be forced to enforce a ban on driving on weekends. In a letter to parliamentary leaders‚ he added: “The fact that the amendment is still not in force leads to considerable legal and factual uncertainties. This serves neither the climate nor the reputation of the federal government.”Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store&;#33; Get 40% OFF on the next evolution in activated nascent iodine HERE Therefore‚ he said it may be necessary to adopt measures that will be unpopular among the German population. “A corresponding reduction in traffic performance would only be possible through restrictive measures that are difficult to communicate to the population‚ such as nationwide and indefinite driving bans on Saturdays and Sundays.” Coalition partners and environmental groups alike accused the minister of scaremongering. A group of environmental organizations‚ including Fridays for Future‚ the German Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation BUND‚ and Greenpeace said that abolishing targets for individual sectors will obscure the impact of those that have an outsized influence‚ especially traffic‚ which often fails to meet its goals. The transport ministry clarified that the letter was not a threat. Instead‚ it was an effort to highlight the dangers of failing to reach an agreement on the amendment. Transport minister accused of scaremongering Green Party parliamentary leader Katharina Droege said that the minister should be making reasonable suggestions for protecting the climate in the transport sector rather than stirring up “unfounded fears.” Detlef Mueller‚ the deputy parliamentary leader of the Social Democrats party‚ said that these comments will not help the negotiations on the amendments‚ noting: “Scaremongering through absurd proposals does not help climate protection in the transport sector at all‚ on the contrary.” Green Party leader Julia Verlinder suggested a different tact‚ telling the German Press Agency that a speed limit could serve to tackle climate issues. The topic has long been the subject of controversy in Germany‚ and Wissing said earlier this month that they did not intend to introduce a speed limit on highways. Others sided with Wissing‚ however‚ with Finance Minister Christian Lindner warning on X: “The climate protection law of the previous government could soon lead to driving bans&;#33;” The country has also seen a dramatic drop in new electric car registrations as sales of these vehicles dropped 30% year over year. The government aims to have 15 million electric cars on the road by 2030‚ and there are currently just 1.4 million‚ demonstrating the reluctance among consumers to change their behaviors to align with government climate initiatives.

Crimes such as this one are all too common‚ leading many to refer to the 'refugees' as 'rapeugees'. A group of six foreign perpetrators allegedly gang-raped two 14-year-old girls in Rostock on Thursday. Although the men remain on the run‚ the victims described the men as foreigners. The scene of the crime was the Wallanlagen‚ a park around the old town of Rostock‚ according to a news report from Nordkurier newspaper‚ citing the police. Officers became aware of the case when one of the girls filed a complaint on Saturday. “We are investigating the suspicion of rape‚” the police confirmed to the newspaper when asked. The perpetrators were six foreign men between the ages of 19 and 25. After sexual acts had taken place‚ “the victims were able to free themselves from the situation and flee‚” the police said. The police are currently looking for suspects and witnesses to the alleged gang rape. Anyone who can provide information is asked to contact the Rostock police. A few days earlier‚ a group of six people‚ also described as foreign nationals‚ had also attacked a 17-year-old boy in the Wallanlagen. They threw him to the ground and kicked him in the face. He was immediately taken to the university hospital for treatment. These suspects remain on the run.Introducing Next Level Foundational Energy from Dr. Jones Naturals starting at 30% off&;#33; This cutting-edge dietary supplement is designed to elevate your energy levels and support your overall well-being.

28-year-old Zoraya ter Beek plans to die by assisted suicide over her struggles with depression and mental illness‚ a trend which is increasing in the Netherlands. AMSTERDAM (LifeSiteNews) — A 28-year-old autistic woman is scheduled to die by assisted suicide in May in the Netherlands after struggling with depression and mental illness‚ with her psychiatrist telling her that her condition is untreatable and will never improve.  Zoraya ter Beek‚ who does not suffer from any physical illness‚ has decided to end her life by assisted suicide after psychiatrists said they had exhausted any means of helping her deal with her mental illnesses‚ which includes borderline personality disorder‚ according to The Free Press.  Her struggles with mental illness have prevented her from being able to finish school or start a career.  READ: Canadian judge blocks imminent euthanasia death of 27-year-old autistic woman  In testimony to the nihilistic attitude adopted in the choice to end her own life on account of suffering‚ Ter Beek has decided that after she has been killed‚ her body will be cremated without a funeral and her ashes scattered in the woods. Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store&;#33; Get 40% OFF on the next evolution in activated nascent iodine HERE Ter Beek’s choice to take her own life comes despite her admitted fear of death arising from the uncertainty of what happens after death.  “I’m a little afraid of dying‚ because it’s the ultimate unknown‚” she said. “We don’t really know what’s next – or is there nothing&;#63; That’s the scary part.”  The diagnosis of autism and mental illness as “untreatable” and “unbearable” has become an increasing trend in the Netherlands‚ with a study published in June 2023 revealing 40 cases during a 10-year period from 2012 to 2021. In a third of those cases‚ those with autism or intellectual disabilities were told there was no hope of improving their lives‚ and so their condition was deemed “untreatable.”  Irene Tuffrey-Wijne‚ a palliative care physician at Britain’s Kingston University‚ who led the study that examined 900 cases‚ said‚ “There’s no doubt in my mind these people were suffering. But is society really OK with sending this message‚ that there’s no other way to help them and it’s just better to be dead&;#63;”  Tim Stainton‚ director of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship at the University of British Columbia‚ added‚ “Helping people with autism and intellectual disabilities to die is essentially eugenics.”  The scheduled killing of the 28-year-old autistic woman comes as the Netherlands continues to expand the scope of what legally qualifies for euthanasia‚ with a new law effective February 1 allowing the killing of terminally ill children ages 1-12 who are deemed to be “suffering hopelessly and unbearably.”  The law allows parents to decide to kill their child even if the child is unwilling or unable to consent.  CIA Plot To Murder Julian Assange Exposed By His Brother

A class action lawsuit filed in Illinois claims retail giant Target collects and stores customers’ biometric data‚ such as facial scans and fingerprints‚ without obtaining proper consent in violation of the state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act. Retail giant Target illegally collected and stored customers’ biometric data‚ including face and fingerprint scans‚ according to an Illinois woman who filed a class action lawsuit against the Minnesota-based company on behalf of herself and other customers. Arnetta Dean alleges Target violated Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by collecting customers’ data without obtaining written consent or sharing data retention and destruction policies. The lawsuit‚ filed on March 11 in the Circuit Court of Cook County‚ Illinois‚ also claims the company did not provide the necessary disclosures or allow customers to opt out of the data collection practices. Plaintiffs seek statutory damages of $5‚000 for each intentional or reckless violation of the law and $1‚000 for each violation found to be negligent. They also seek to recoup attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses. The lawsuit also seeks injunctive relief to prevent Target from further violating the biometric privacy rights of Illinois residents.Introducing Next Level Foundational Energy from Dr. Jones Naturals starting at 30% off&;#33; This cutting-edge dietary supplement is designed to elevate your energy levels and support your overall well-being. A hearing in the case is scheduled for July 10. Target uses ‘advanced behavior analysis’ to detect shoplifters Dean‚ an Illinois resident‚ filed the lawsuit after allegedly having her biometric data collected without consent during visits to the retailer’s stores. According to NBC Chicago‚ Target allegedly employs advanced facial recognition technology in its stores to prevent theft. The suit cites a Target investigations center leader who said‚ “[W]e are using state-of-the-art equipment to gather as much intelligence as possible‚ reduce business risks‚ and take down criminals.” The lawsuit alleges Target “operates one of the largest and most advanced networks of cameras” and has developed an advanced system of electronic surveillance that includes 14 investigation centers and two forensic labs “to enhance video footage and analyze fingerprints.” A former Target manager wrote in a thread on Quora that Target takes photos every time customers step on and off the property‚ builds a database of them wandering through the store‚ and uses “incredibly advanced behavior analysis and facial recognition software” to detect potential shoplifters‚ according to the lawsuit. According to another post‚ “Target has an actual crime lab that’s so good government agencies come to them for help … [and] are the only retailer that uses DNA and fingerprints to identify and help catch rings of professional shoplifters.” Customers who frequent the store but do not make a purchase “are going to be suspected of being shoplifters‚ and they will be scrutinized more closely‚” according to a third Quora post. The lawsuit references “an entire TikTok page of videos” where consumers and former employees discuss Target’s surveillance system. Background on BIPA Passed in 2008‚ Illinois’ BIPA safeguards residents’ biometric data‚ such as facial scans and fingerprints. The act recognizes the unique nature of biometric information‚ emphasizing that‚ unlike other personal data like social security numbers‚ biometric identifiers cannot be easily changed if compromised. This makes people particularly vulnerable to identity theft and other risks if their biometric data is mishandled. Under BIPA‚ companies collecting biometric data in Illinois must follow strict guidelines. First‚ they must inform individuals in writing that their biometric information is being collected and specify the purpose and duration of its use. Second‚ they must obtain a written release from the individual before collecting the data. Third‚ companies must develop and make publicly available a retention schedule and guidelines for permanently destroying the collected biometric data. Violating BIPA can result in significant penalties for companies‚ including damages ranging from $1‚000 for each negligent violation to $5‚000 for each intentional or reckless violation‚ liability for attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses — precisely the relief the plaintiffs in the current lawsuit are seeking. Similar lawsuits and settlements BIPA‚ unique to Illinois‚ provides protections rarely granted by other states’s laws. This has led to “hundreds of David-and-Goliath legal battles against some of the world’s most powerful companies‚” some resulting in huge settlements‚ according to NBC Chicago. In recent years‚ several tech giants have found themselves in the crosshairs of Illinois’ biometric privacy law. The most notable case involves Facebook‚ which settled a class action lawsuit for $650 million in 2022. The social media behemoth was accused of collecting and storing digital scans of users’ faces without permission. As a result‚ over 1 million Illinois Facebook users received checks for nearly $400 each. Google‚ Snapchat and TikTok also faced their own BIPA lawsuits. Google was accused of violating BIPA through its Google Photos service‚ which between 2015 and 2022 allegedly collected and stored biometric data of Illinois residents who appeared in photos uploaded to the platform. Snapchat‚ meanwhile‚ landed in trouble over claims that it illegally collected users’ biometric information through its filters and lenses‚ resulting in a $35 million settlement in 2022. As for TikTok‚ the popular video-sharing app in 2022 reached a $92 million multistate settlement in a class action lawsuit‚ with Illinois claimants receiving the biggest share of the payout due to BIPA. In November 2023‚ an Illinois federal court allowed a class action lawsuit against Amazon to proceed‚ alleging the company’s Alexa devices violated BIPA by collecting users’ voiceprints without proper notice and consent. In another significant 2023 BIPA decision‚ the Illinois Supreme Court held in Cothron v. White Castle System Inc. that a BIPA violation occurs each time an entity collects or discloses biometric information without consent‚ not just the first time. The case involved a class of employees who accused White Castle of repeatedly collecting and disclosing their fingerprints without consent through a system used to access pay stubs and computers. BIPA lawsuits in Illinois reportedly increased by nearly two-thirds‚ to 122 cases in the two months following the Supreme Court’s seminal ruling. In a smaller Illinois case‚ the sandwich shop chain Pret a Manger paid over $677‚000 to resolve a class action lawsuit that accused it of collecting and storing the fingerprints of nearly 800 employees through its time-keeping system without providing prior notice to the affected workers‚ as required by BIPA.

There is no &;quot;climate emergency‚&;quot; nor are humans responsible for destroying the earth with industry. Despite lots of very loud and very influential people claiming otherwise‚ the so-called “carbon emissions” caused by humans is “non-discernible‚” to quote a prominent researcher‚ when it comes to having an impact on the climate. Demetris Koutsoyiannis‚ a professor in Greece‚ published a paper recently that explains using scientific data how the expansion of a more productive biosphere is responsible for increased carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere‚ which have thus created a “greening” effect on the earth. While the official story is that most‚ if not all‚ of the recent alleged planetary “warming” is caused by the four percent human contribution of burning hydrocarbons‚ Koutsoyiannis says this is nonsense‚ according to actual science. There is no “climate emergency‚” nor are humans responsible for destroying the earth with industry. While certain elements of industry could certainly be cleaned up to produce less pollution‚ the idea that human activity is causing the planet to boil to death is simply ludicrous. According to Koutsoyiannis‚ a more productive biosphere is what has created a “natural amplification of the carbon cycle due to increased temperature.” He adds that this may be the “primary factor for the decrease in the isotopic signature 13C in atmospheric CO2.”URGENT&;#33; Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO&;#33; Please pray &; contribute at DefendJones.com today&;#33; (Related: Did you know that the media is blaming COVID “vaccine”-related heart damage and deaths on climate change&;#63;) Climate movie featuring Dr. John Clauser shadow-banned Another prominent scientist and expert saying much the same thing is Dr. John Clauser‚ a 2022 Nobel physics laureate featured in Climate: The Movie. “I assert there is no connection whatsoever between climate change and CO2 – it’s all a crock of crap‚ in my opinion‚” Clauser is quoted as saying. Climate: The Movie‚ by the way‚ is under attack by both mainstream and social media for telling the truth about climate change. The latter is actually shadow-banning the film‚ making it less accessible to the hoodwinked public that really needs to see it. It turns out that the facts shared by Koutsoyiannis and Clauser are a threat to the multi-trillion-dollar climate industry‚ which needs people to believe that their existence is destroying the planet so widespread tyranny can be ushered in under the guise of “green” salvation. Former Princeton University professor William Happer is another who says that the idea of humans in any way impacting the climate is a “scam‚” though he says he can also live with calling the idea a “hoax” as many now do. Even within the climate fanaticism community‚ there is widespread disagreement over just how much the planet is supposedly warming due to people driving cars and eating meat. The idea that humans in any way impact the climate is a concept that has only been around for about 50 years at a maximum. And only in the last decade or so has the concept become canon in mainstream science to the point that governments are making drastic changes to what is allowed in order to “save” the world from global warming. There is nothing settled about climate science‚ though‚ which is a big reason why very little of it is actually trustworthy. At first‚ it was all about global cooling until later they changed it to global warming as reality no longer matched their earlier claims. That anyone believes the global warming myth at all is a testament to how easily people are hoodwinked into believing radical fairy tales that are easily debunked through not only science but common sense. If only more people would listen to the Clausers and the Koutsoyianniss of this world. There is no such thing as man-made climate change. Learn more at Climate.news.
