The State Treasury of Mississippi’s office was in Meridian hosting an unclaimed property event Tuesday.(WTOK) MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) – The State Treasury of Mississippi’s office was in Meridian hosting an unclaimed property event Tuesday to give residents the opportunity to reclaim money turned over to the state. Lauderdale County partnered with the State Treasurer’s Office to help return unclaimed property to its rightful owners. Unclaimed property is any financial asset that has been abandoned or unclaimed by the rightful owner. After five years, the property is handed over to the State Treasurer’s Office. “A lot of people don’t realize that when you have an abandoned bank account, or their financial institution can’t find you, or let’s say you have a utility deposit you never cashed or a tax check you never cashed. Well, it ends up back in the state. Every state has an unclaimed property department. In our case, we only deal with cash. So what we do is we have a staff of about eight people and that’s all we do is we try to return as much money as possible that has been reported to us by financial institutions as unclaimed,” said Director of Unclaimed Property […]

Rwanda, Africa In celebration of International Women’s Day, we revisit the Women’s Opportunity Center, an inspiring project by Sharon Davis Design that highlights the transformative power of architecture. On a two-hectare site in Rwanda, the most densely populated country in Africa, the Women’s Opportunity Center is empowering one small community and, in turn, rewriting the role of designers. One hour from the Rwandan capital of Kigali, Kayaonza is a semi-rural setting. The site of the Women’s Opportunity Center, located at a crossroads above a fertile valley, was an ideal arena for architecture that opens a new world of opportunity. The architects chose the idea of a vernacular Rwandan village as their organizing principle: a series of human-scaled pavilions clustered to create security and community for up to 300 women. Designed in collaboration with Women for Women International—a humanitarian organization that helps women survivors of war rebuild their lives—this mini-village transforms urban agglomeration and subsistence farming with an architectural agenda to create economic opportunity, rebuild social infrastructure, and restore African heritage. The design revives a lost Rwandan design tradition with deep spatial and social layers. Its circular forms radiate outward, from intimate classrooms at the center of the site to […]

Insider has verified her earnings and job termination with documentation. The following has been edited for length and clarity. I absolutely loved my teaching career. Schools would bring their fifth-grade students on field trips to my classroom in Indiana as part of a government-funded youth program. My job was to talk to them about the different kinds of STEM careers they could consider pursuing in science, technology, engineering, and math. Despite having a full-time job, I was juggling five side hustles to try to keep myself afloat financially as a single mom; I was teaching group-exercise classes and coaching people in ketogenic nutrition, while also tutoring kids, managing a teeth whitening business, and designing […]

Ramona Cannabis Co. plans to add marijuana cultivation and manufacturing space to its 1,400-square-foot building at 736 Montecito Way. Ramona Cannabis Co. owner Greg McCluskey shared plans for expanding his marijuana enterprise by adding a 10,000-square-foot greenhouse building with Ramona Community Planning Group members March 2. The farmhouse-style building would be added to his existing cannabis shop at 736 Montecito Way. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors had given the green light to backcountry dispensaries to expand by up to 10,000 square feet without an environmental review when they removed the sunset dates from the dispensaries’ permits in October 2021. McCluskey said he wants to add 6,000 square feet of marijuana cultivation space and 4,000 square feet of manufacturing space to his 1,400-square-foot building. Features of the building would include an employee break room and locker room in addition to an extraction room where cannabis products are made and a packaging room. The greenhouse is designed with opaque glass to conceal its activities from outside viewers, and the structure would be protected with a 24-hour guard and multiple security cameras, he said. Once the building is added, McCluskey said he may add six new people to his staff, […]

It is clear that the "glass ceiling" exists, and women face discrimination that hinders their advancement compared to men, despite having similar qualifications, skills and experience. However, employing women over men may be the key to success for your business, according to a wealth of scientific research. Research from cognitive neuroscience and behavioral economics has consistently shown that women are held back from career advancement compared to men. A study of managers in 20 Fortune 500 companies discovered that men had a faster career progression and received higher pay than women, despite the fact that women had similar qualifications, worked in the same industries and had consistent work experience. Another study of 138 executives, half male and half female, found that women had to work harder to overcome barriers such as exclusion from informal networks and receiving less mentoring than men. Additionally, a study of over 1000 MBA graduates revealed that women faced discrimination more often than men, and even when controlling for work experience, women earned less than men. It is clear that the "glass ceiling" exists, and women face discrimination that hinders their advancement compared to men, despite having similar qualifications, skills and experience.

Inside Amazon’s HQ2 in Northern Virginia Amazon.com’s pause of its plans to expand its second headquarters in Northern Virginia reflects some deep underlying trends — not just for metropolitan Washington, where I live, but for regional development more generally. First, with the end of the US Federal Reserve’s zero interest rate policy, many developments are being canceled or postponed. Long-term projects are less profitable than they used to be, and capital is harder to come by. As the major technology companies lose market value, their urban and suburban refurbishment plans become less of a priority. More Construction on Amazon’s HQ2 — the one Chicago lost — hits pause in Virginia Inside Chicago’s doomed Amazon HQ2 pitch Over the last 15 years, many US cities — Austin, Miami, Nashville and Boise, to name a few — have become far more “business-friendly,” to use a term, and have in fact attracted many new businesses. This process may well be at an end. US regions may be entering a new era in which they simply try to maintain what they have, or manage their decline . Northern Virginia is a very wealthy and livable area, and for decades it has strived to […]

Veterans in Prince George’s County plan to fight food insecurity with a new training center that promotes urban farming and healthy eating. The center being planned in Lanham and would train veterans in aquaculture so they can start their own business. VFW Post 8950 wants to help veterans become entrepreneurs while also improving their health. They’re building an aquaculture training center where they can grow plants and fish to help with food insecurity and healthy eating. Vietnam combat veteran King Smith leads the project. “Everybody eats, so we thought that with the food deserts that we have in the urban areas that having an indoor farm would be something that not only veterans could be involved in, but the community could be involved in,” he said. Veterans from Post 8950 visited Virginia State University – which has an aquaculture program – to learn about the fast-growing industry. They want to learn about raising fish, shellfish and plants – what King calls growing groceries in water. “It deals with the climate crisis that we’re having,” Smith said. “It’s soilless, it’s 21st century technology.” They have the drawings and all the materials for the greenhouse already on site.
