Glimmer of Hope
The continued distribution of COVID-19 vaccines has brought a collective sigh of relief as businesses look ahead toward a post-pandemic future.
Hawaiʻi Island is known for its resiliency, and the past few years have shown its strength is unwavering. The community has bounced back from hurricanes, people came together to help each other during the 2018 eruption, which the island is still recovering from, and then the pandemic brought a year of uncertainties. Vaccinations, however, have provided hope for a return to normalcy as businesses continue taking preventive measures while gradually reopening the economy.

APART from unrelenting Boko Haram terrorists’ attacks, Nigeria and Nigerians have in recent years continued to witness unconscionable destruction of lives and property through frequent herdsmen and farmers clashes. Indeed, what initially began as intermittent but innocuous quarrels between farmers and herdsmen over land and grazing routes soon escalated into bloody clashes. The clashes first began in the Middle Belt states of Plateau and Benue before spreading to neighbouring states of Adamawa, Nasarawa and Taraba and later to the Southern part of the country.

Weber State Celebrates Earth Day
April 19, 2021
OGDEN, Utah – Sustainability remains a top priority at Weber State University, even amidst the challenges presented by a global pandemic. April 22 marks the 51st anniversary of Earth Day, and WSU is celebrating its continued sustainability efforts.
Sustainability Practices and Research Center (SPARC) Director Alice Mulder said the actions of governments, businesses and communities around the world to keep people safe in response to COVID-19 have provided a number of valuable lessons for addressing climate change.
“Importantly, we have learned we can adapt quickly when we are informed by science,” Mulder said. “We can recognize a pressing collective challenge and put our minds to it, with individuals benefiting themselves and the larger community. During the year, we both reduced the spread of the virus and saw reduced emissions and improved air quality as many people worked remotely.”
