The Rossington Collins Band was formed in 1979 in Jacksonville, Florida, by former members of Lynyrd Skynyrd following the tragic plane crash in 1977 that led to the band’s hiatus. The Rossington Collins Band was active primarily from 1979 to 1982 and released two studio albums, Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere in 1980 and This Is the Way in 1981. Despite their brief period of activity, the band made a significant impact with their blend of Southern rock and blues. The band’s formation was a response to the tragic events that affected Lynyrd Skynyrd, aiming to continue their musical legacy in a The post Complete List Of Rossington Collins Band Members appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

At the beginning of 2023, Colorado began enforcing a 10-penny charge on all single-use plastic and paper bags at major retailers in the hope it would encourage the use of reusable ones. This hope sprung into a massive success. A report from 9News claims that Colorado used 1.5 billion fewer plastic or paper shopping bags […] The post In Just First Year of State’s Ban on Plastic Bags, 1.5 Billion Fewer Have Been Used appeared first on Good News Network.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, slaves in Galveston Bay, Texas learned they were free.  In 2021, June 19 became a national holiday, and while Carol Swain says it might be more appropriate for Americans to celebrate the end of slavery on Jan. 1, the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, Juneteenth is a wonderful opportunity for Americans to reflect on our nation’s past.   Swain, an award-winning author, political scientist, and former professor at Princeton and Vanderbilt University, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the history of Juneteenth and how Americans ought to celebrate the day. Swain also discusses her work in the field of education and the hopeful shift happening within U.S. colleges and universities.  (Photo: Courtesy of Carol Swain) Listen to the podcast below: The post Juneteenth and Why Jan. 1 Might Even Better Day to Celebrate End of Slavery, With Carol Swain appeared first on The Daily Signal.

THIS Is Why San Francisco Is Dying

El Niño is officially over – and while we are currently in ENSO-neutral conditions, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center, La Niña is expected to return this summer, possibly as early as July. This new phase is forecast to persist through the Northern Hemisphere winter and ties in with Atlantic hurricane season – so, what does it mean for such extreme storms?“After a year of dominance, El Niño released its hold on the tropical Pacific in May 2024,” reads NOAA’s latest update for June 2024. “The tropical Pacific’s climate pendulum appears to be swinging back toward its other extreme: La Niña.” La Niña, and its counterpart El Niño, are the extreme phases of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle – a recurring climate pattern that describes how changes in the water temperature in the Pacific Ocean have a global impact on the world. Everything from wind, temperature, and rainfall patterns to the intensity of – you guessed it – hurricane seasons are affected. Even the distribution of fish in the seas can be influenced by the cycle.Around every three to seven years, the surface waters across a large swath of the tropical Pacific warm or cool by 1 to 3°C (1.8 to 5.4°F) compared to normal. La Niña is often called the "cold phase" of the ENSO, when the ocean surface temperature drops in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. During El Niño, on the other hand, surface temperature rises.We’ve known La Niña was on her way for a while – forecasters originally predicted her return between June and August, but revised this as the rate of cooling slowed. According to the latest forecast from NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, ENSO-neutral conditions returned during the past month. However, they're not set to last and there’s a 65 percent chance La Niña will develop in July-September 2024 and an 85 percent chance it will persist during November-January.This timing means it will likely coincide with – and possibly intensify – the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season (expected between mid-August and mid-October).NOAA has already predicted an “extraordinary” season, thanks in part to La Niña. Per their estimates, there’s an 85 percent chance of an above-normal season, a 10 percent chance of a near-normal season, and just a 5 percent chance of a below-normal season.Between eight and 13 storms are forecast to become hurricanes, with wind speeds of 119 kilometers (74 miles) per hour or higher, and four to seven major hurricanes with winds of 178 kilometers (111 miles) per hour or higher are also anticipated. The forecasters have a 70 percent confidence in these ranges.You might be wondering how a dip in ocean surface temp could impact the swirling winds of a hurricane. It is primarily down to vertical wind shear – the change in wind speed and direction from near the surface to high up in the atmosphere. Over the Atlantic, La Niña reduces vertical wind shear, which enhances hurricane activity. It also decreases the amount of sinking motion and atmospheric stability, which contribute.In the central and eastern Pacific, meanwhile, La Niña suppresses hurricane activity.With this year's Atlantic hurricane season already underway, and La Niña looming, 2024 could be set to see some intense storms.

A team of YouTubers have put together an impressive retractable lightsaber they describe as "potentially dangerous".In a new video, HeroTech explained that they wanted to construct a lightsaber that retracted like a real lightsaber from the Star Wars movies, rather than the extended blades on sale to the public."When we decided to build a real retractable lightsaber, we knew we had our work cut out for us," the team said on YouTube. "Our main challenges were clear: Fully contained blade extension and retraction, compact, to-scale hilt design, [and] realistic blade and sound."The tricky part was making the lightsaber retractable, but they were able to achieve this using a magician's cane; a device that contracts down to a small size, but extends to over 0.9 meters (3 feet) in length. The result, after a lot of fiddling, is an impressive lightsaber that extends when you activate it."This lightsaber features a blinding blade of light that actually emerges in and out of the hilt," the team explains on their website. "With a 12V COB LED strip, 4S LiPo battery, the Proffieboard V3.9, and a powerful speaker, this lightsaber has realistic lights and sounds."         The team also wanted others to be able to build the lightsaber at home, providing details on how to do that to their subscribers. However, they have heavily caveated that you probably shouldn't try it."This lightsaber is a prototype and is potentially dangerous to DIY," they add on their YouTube channel. "While I'm working to change that, I can't currently recommend this for anyone without engineering expertise and the will to troubleshoot for hours."Disney has created its own retractable lightsabers to be used at shows at Disney World, though likely not as cheaply.      Neither blade can be used to slice any stormtroopers open, however, and are purely decorative. However, one amateur YouTuber did create a retractable working lightsaber, entering the Guinness Book of World Records in 2022.   Alex Burkan, who runs the YouTube channel Alex Lab, created a device that can produce a 1-meter (3.28-foot) long plasma blade when initiated. The 2,800°C (5,072°F) blade can even cut through steel."The key component of my lightsaber is an electrolyser," Burkan explained to Guinness World Records. "An electrolyser is a device that can generate a huge amount of hydrogen and oxygen and compress the gas to any pressure without a mechanical compressor."However, unlike a real lightsaber or the ones shown off by Disney, the blade only works for about 30 seconds on full power, making lightsaber battles short-lived unless they take place near charging points.Also, Burkan added, "sometimes the lightsaber just blows up in your hand because of hydrogen flashback."
