In May, Capital Planning and Campus Operations will round up all abandoned bikes on campus. People with bikes on campus must place a green tag on their bike to avoid collection. Bikes with green tags will not be collected, and green tags only need to stay on the bikes through the end of May. Green tags are now available from the front desk at the University Union, Facility Services and Contracts, Purchasing and Risk Management, University Transit, Cline Library, the Health and Learning Center and Property Surplus. Green tags will be available before the start of May. Collected bikes will be held for the required 30 days before being sold through Property Surplus. If a bike is accidentally picked up, the owner should contact Property Surplus at (928) 523-4163 to arrange a time for pick up. The goal is to round up those left behind, so be sure to place a green tag on bikes that are still being used. For more information on the bike roundup, contact Property Surplus at NAU-PropertySurplus@nau.eduor follow their Facebook Page at NAU Property Surplus.

If an investment seems too good to be true, it probably is   OAKLAND — Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued an alert warning Californians about the prevalence of fraudulent investment scams across Meta platforms, including on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, as well as on other online platforms. Scammers are increasingly using deceptive advertisements (ads) and deepfake technology to lure people into high-stakes scams in order to then defraud them of their savings. Last year, Attorney General Bonta sent a letter to Meta urging the company to adopt protocols to properly tackle this pervasive issue — or otherwise ban all investment ads on its platforms. Attorney General Bonta encourages anyone who may have been a victim of these types of scams to report it to oag.ca.gov/report. “Californians, we’ve seen an uptick in investment scams across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. These scams have cost some people their life savings and typically use photos of well-known or trusted people without their permission in order to create the necessary trust to get into consumers’ pockets,” said Attorney General Bonta. “I encourage Californians to learn about common scams and review tips to protect themselves, and I urge investors to scrutinize social media investment ads before investing.” COMMON SOCIAL MEDIA INVESTMENT SCAMS The Pump and

Each week, we spotlight Marketing Brew readers in our Coworking series. If you’d like to be featured, introduce yourself here. Fintan Gillespie is global director, ad partnerships at Snap Inc. He previously worked at Google. Favorite project you’ve worked on? A recent favorite has been launching our integration with WooCommerce. It’s a big step forward in making Snapchat’s ad tools more accessible to a wider range of SMB e-commerce businesses. By giving WooCommerce merchants a seamless way to create, manage, and optimize Snapchat campaigns directly from their storefronts, we’re helping them show up where their customers are already spending time. It builds on the success of our established Shopify integration, and speaks to what we’re all about: lowering the barrier to entry for high-impact, creative advertising that actually drives results. What’s your favorite ad campaign? I love when multiple partners get involved to make a campaign come to life. One example that really caught my eye this year was when Steve Madden worked with one of our agency partners, January Digital, to reach new customers on Snapchat. Through that campaign development, they worked with another one of our social agency partners, Whalar, on an entire creator strategy. One thing we

You might have already heard of Twitch ! It’s a great bit of the internet where you can watch people play all types of video games (including one of our personal favorites – Minecraft!) You can also stream your own content and possibly become famous on the internet thanks to epic skills or pitch-perfect light-hearted banter. Get enough people watching and you can earn real-life money to reinvest in Minecraft Marketplace (or other places of significantly less value).  We’re talking about Twitch because we are about to launch a Tiny Takeover campaign! This special event has something for everyone, whether you’re streaming or watching!  First! An important message Twitch Tiny Takeover is a partnership between Twitch and Mojang Studios. Mojang has not sponsored or endorsed any creators to participate in Twitch Tiny Takeover. When is this happening?  Super soon! The Campaign launches on April 6th at 9:00am PT. Note that the streamer spaces are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend you’re ready to roll when the campaign goes live! I am a viewer! What’s the deal?  More into watching than streaming? No worries. Watch a mere five minutes of Minecraft content from any streamer streaming

Published  April 6, 2026 12:47pm EDT article (Photo by Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto via Getty Images) MELBOURNE, Australia - Australia’s online safety watchdog said Tuesday it is considering legal action against Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube, alleging the platforms are failing to adequately prevent children under 16 from accessing their services. What they're saying: Experts say the Australian courts could decide what steps the platforms can reasonably be expected to take under the laws that took effect on Dec. 10 banning young children from holding accounts. Julie Inman Grant, who is Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, on Tuesday released her first compliance report since those laws took effect demanding 10 platforms remove all Australian account-holders younger than 16. RELATED: Snapchat under investigation by EU over alleged failure to protect children on app Inman Grant said in a statement her office had "significant concerns about the compliance" of half of those 10 platforms. Her office was gathering evidence against the five that they had not taken "reasonable steps" to prevent young children holding accounts. Communications Minister Anika Wells said the five criticized platforms were deliberately not complying with Australian law. "Social media platforms are choosing to do the absolute bare minimum because they want

Home News YourRAGE wins MrBeast's $1M Challenge and Takes Twitch's Top Spot YourRAGE won MrBeast's $1,000,000 streamer challenge on April 5, surpassed Jynxzi as Twitch's most-subscribed streamer, and peaked at 257,000 live viewers. "ONE. MILLION. I LOVE YOU." That was all YourRAGE posted on X after winning MrBeast's $1,000,000 streamer challenge on April 5. Four words that told the whole story. The win itself was massive. But what happened immediately after on Twitch was something else entirely. From contender to Twitch's most-subscribed streamer in one stream The setup was straightforward on paper: MrBeast pitted 50 streamers against each other for a shot at a $1,000,000 prize, with the final stage decided through a live showdown and audience votes. YourRAGE made it all the way through and walked away as the winner of the challenge, beating out every other finalist in front of a record-breaking crowd. The moment he went live on Twitch after the event, the subscription flood started. Within minutes, nearly every visible name in his chat had a sub badge. One widely shared X post described it as him "nearly breaking Twitch," and honestly, that framing holds up. The scale of the sub wave was the kind of

by Benjamin F. Henwood, University of Southern California, Can giving homeless people US$750 a month to use any way they choose help them move into long-term housing? I am the director of the University of Southern California Homelessness Policy Research Institute. My research team, in partnership with Miracle Messages, a San Francisco social services nonprofit, set out to answer that question in a study that will be published in an upcoming peer-reviewed issue of Social Work Research. In one of the first randomized studies of basic income for homeless people in the U.S., 103 homeless people living in California received $750 payments every month for a year. Then we compared their housing situations with people who were homeless but did not receive this money. All study participants met the federal definition of literal homelessness. That basically means they either stayed in a homeless shelter or lived on the streets. In 2022, when we began this study, we expected the answer to our question would be “yes.” Beginning with optimistic expectations A similar experiment in Canada with 50 homeless participants showed that providing 7,500 Canadian dollars in cash as a lump
