Nurses rally in San Francisco as part of nationwide actions in support of safe staffing, patient protections against A.I.
100,000 National Nurses United members will bargain new contracts in 2025
Thousands of registered nurse members of National Nurses United (NNU) hold actions, including marches, protests, and rallies, on Thursday, Jan. 16 to demand the hospital industry ensure safe staffing levels and patient safeguards amidst the rapid introduction of artificial intelligence technologies.
More than 100,000 NNU members are entering contract negotiations with their employers, including multibillion-dollar health care organizations such as UCHealth and Dignity Health. In negotiations, nurses plan to confront industry decisions that undermine patients’ health and well-being and fail to address chronic RN recruitment and retention issues – in favor of increasing profits.
“Today, nurses across the country are taking to the streets to let our communities know that in 2025, as in all years past, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care for every patient,” said Nancy Hagans, RN and a president of NNU. “We will fight fearlessly against the profit-driven hospital industry, which seeks to undermine nursing care through unconscionable understaffing and reckless automation.”

Development of an environmental prediction capability will require incorpo-ration of additional components of the Earth System beyond the physical climate system. The core elements and expertise needed in this regard include atmospheric general circu-lation models, ocean circulation models, land surface models, interactive vegetation models, marine ecosystem models, atmospheric chemistry models, global carbon cycle models, assimilation techniques for atmosphere-ocean-land, population dynamics, crop models, and infectious disease models, to name a few. The challenge now is to bring these core elements together within a common infrastructure and with a central focus on sub-seasonal to decadal prediction of the Earth System in the broadest sense. Further-more, the prospect of Earth System prediction has unique policy relevance at both the national and international levels.

I'm not 100% if this the end or the beginning of the roll. I liked the water reflection and the burn mark adds a bit of interest to the photo...
A glorious beach stop on the Gulf of Mexico to break our journey towards Campeche.
It was incredibly hot here (dry heat after the humidity of Palenque) and the sand was burning to the touch! Best antidote was a nice dip in the ocean, which luckily I was prepared for.
I like this castle much better than the other one. It's much prettier and has more interesting features. I can't help but wonder who's been repairing the roof all these years, though...
Again, you can see the chain of rocks in the water behind the castle - for which the bridge is named.
The new Library building in Birmingham is stunning, both inside and out. You are able to ascend right to the roof on the 7th floor - the final journey in a glass lift - where you can look out across the City to the surrounding coutryside. There is also a herb garden on the 4th floor. Hopefully this set of photos gives you a taste of the building and the wonderful veiws of the surrounding buildings.
