Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.Pose a Rockies — or MLB — related question for the Rockies Mailbag.Hey Patrick, what are your thoughts on Nolan Jones so far? He’s been one of the few bright spots this year. He’s got power, speed and a heckuva arm.— Mark, ArvadaMark, I’ve also been impressed by Jones.Based on discussions with general manager Bill Schmidt and manager Bud Black, I wasn’t sure if Jones’s skills would transfer from Triple-A Albuquerque to the majors this quickly. There were questions about his defense in the outfield and at first base. But so far, so good.Jones is incredibly athletic and it’s a pleasure to watch him play. He’s provided a needed spark for a struggling team.Here are some particulars of what he’s done so far (through Monday’s game at Cincinnati):• Reached base safely in a career-long 13 games, tied for the longest active stre...Opinion: As Denver warms, communities will swelter without AC

As we consider all the ways to make Denver a more equitable home for all our neighbors, there’s likely an issue that hasn’t yet made everyone’s list, though it impacts thousands each summer.The issue is increasing summertime temperatures and a disparate lack of access to efficient cooling for far too many residents.I have spent the majority of my career focused on community health, and I can tell you that policymakers must add this critical issue to their list if they want to make real progress for health and equity. The results of a recent survey that my organization, the Tepeyac Community Health Center, helped to sponsor draws a bright line under why this issue is so urgent.In short, we have a growing public health crisis around the fact that our summer temperatures are steadily rising and extending for longer periods of time than they ever have in our history. As a direct result of climate change, this trend is expected to continue to accelerate. At the same time, our city codes ...European Media Freedom Act: Council secures mandate for negotiations
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 07:25:37 GMT
EU member state ambassadors have agreed the Council’s position on a new law to safeguard media freedom, pluralism and independence in the EU. The European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) will establish a common framework for media services in the EU internal market and introduce measures aimed at protecting journalists and media providers from political interference while also making it easier for them to operate across the EU’s internal borders.I am very pleased that the EU member states have reached this agreement. Media freedom is fundamental to democratic society, yet it faces increasing threats, both from within the EU and abroad. The Council's position on the EMFA strengthens protection for media providers and their sources and gives national regulatory authorities more responsibility for cooperating and advising the Commission on the proper functioning of the internal market for media services, while also ensuring that the unique media landscape in each member state can continue to ...The Re-creation of Cardboard: Exploring the Art Direction Behind the Award-Winning Film, It’s Not About the Car

The film revolves around a teenage girl’s quest to connect with her workaholic mom by writing and starring in a senior play that explores their quirky and dysfunctional relationship.What sets this film apart is the centerpiece of the story: a meticulously crafted cardboard car that can hold two people.

The car’s lightweight structure allows the actors to lift it effortlessly, creating the illusion of movement.The cardboard car serves as a metaphor for the mother-daughter relationship, evolving from a symbol of freedom and desire to an extension of oneself. It represents the family’s journey, moving forward despite the arguments and differing perspectives. T...Latest news
