Senate Floor Action House Floor Action Senate Approves 9-12 Student Cell Phone Ban and Math Reform Bill The Senate unanimously passed two education bills and approved a third with only two dissenting votes. HB 1009  by Rep. Scott Hilton (R-Peachtree Corners) banning student use of cell phones and other electronic devices from bell-to-bell in grades 9-12, beginning in the 2027-2028 school year. Students participating in dual enrollment, work-based learning, or apprenticeship programs off campus are excluded from the ban. E-readers are also removed from the list of prohibited devices. Bill supporters highlighted survey results collected by Georgia Southern University, in collaboration with PAGE, showing strong educator support for extending the existing K-8 ban to high school grades. Sen. RaShaun Kemp (D-Atlanta) offered an amendment that would have given schools the option to allow students to use devices during the transitional time between classes, but it was voted down. HB 1009 is now on Gov. Brian Kemp's desk awaiting his signature. HB 1030  by Rep. Sandy Donatucci (R-Buford), the “Math Matters Act,” makes several significant changes

Newsletter Sed ut perspiciatis unde. Subscribe Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Maria Rasin (née Ponomaryova). We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below. Alright, Maria thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally. The first time I realized I wanted to pursue a creative path professionally was when I was about 14 years old. This was around 2010 — back when Tumblr was at its peak. I’m not even sure how many people still remember it now, but at the time it was a huge creative space where people shared photography, quotes, and aesthetics. I’ve always loved reading, and at that age I started collecting quotes that really resonated with me. I began posting them on Tumblr, pairing them with beautiful, inspiring images I took. It started as something very simple — just sharing things that moved me. My blog grew incredibly fast, and before long it had over 600,000 followers, which was a massive audience for that platform back then. At first, I was just excited

This article examines the Facebook page of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) over a twelve-month period (April 2025 – March 2026). Using qualitative content analysis and descriptive engagement assessment, the study evaluates thematic content distribution, temporal posting patterns, and public sentiment. The findings indicate a communication strategy strongly oriented toward ceremonial visibility, institutional legitimacy, and controlled narrative framing. While effective in reinforcing national identity and organisational presence, this approach reveals limited engagement with structural challenges, contributing to persistent negative sentiment within public discourse. Introduction Digital platforms have transformed how military institutions communicate with the public, shifting from one-directional broadcasting to interactive engagement. Social media, particularly Facebook, offers armed forces an opportunity to shape narratives, enhance transparency, and reinforce legitimacy. In South Africa, the SANDF operates within a complex governance environment marked by fiscal constraints, evolving operational demands, and contested public trust. This article provides a longitudinal assessment of the SANDF’s Facebook presence, examining how communication practices evolve over time and how they intersect with public sentiment and broader civil-military dynamics. Methodology The study adopts a qualitative,  » Read More

By AUDREY LYNN LEINOFF MARCH 23, 2026 16:49 Updated: MARCH 23, 2026 18:04 It was cold, it was dark, and I was sitting alone in the middle of a stairwell on a lower floor in my apartment building in Jerusalem, for I could not remember how many times that day already. What day was it anyway, I wondered? Saturday, Sunday? Or maybe just that witching hour found in the middle of all nights that is always accompanied by an unbridled sense of dread. And how many days have passed since Operation Roaring Lion began? Was it three, four, or five? In my dazed state after waking to the unearthly screeching sound of yet another Home Front Command missile alert on my phone, it was hard to tell. But I had bigger problems at the moment, I reminded myself in the deadly silence that followed; survival would be a good one to fixate on, for instance. Unlike most of my friends, some of them in southern Israel, most in the Gush Dan region, my housing complex has no bomb shelter. That is why I keep dragging my carcass down two flights of stairs, where I mercilessly plump my protesting backside down
