• Headspace - Headspace is offering free access to K-12 (primary-secondary) teachers and support staff in the US, UK, Australia and Canada.
• We’re proud to support them in leading a healthy active lifestyle and making the most of their time spent outside.
• Whirlpool - Maytag is offering 15% off for teachers to thank them for going the extra mile each and every day.
• Willow 3.0 offers 360 mobility, is hands-free, cord-free, leak-free, and sterile— so teachers can pump while they’re making the world a better place.

• Tamatem Inc. , the premier mobile games publisher in the Arabic-speaking market, has launched Wanas , a gaming and social app fostering solid social connections through voice-based gaming.
• The app is powered by ZEGOCLOUD's Voice Call SDK and Interactive Gaming Solution.
• "We build Wanas with two focuses," continued Abdullah, "realism in voice chat and social bonds."
• With years of experience serving other Ludo apps, ZEGOCLOUD simplifies the integration of voice chat functionality with its Unity API encapsulated Voice Call SDK.

• While nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus are essential to life in small quantities, in large quantities they become destructive to river and ocean ecosystems.
• When rivers are pumped too full of nutrients washing out from farms or from wastewater treatment, bacteria and algae numbers soar.
• While offsetting schemes for carbon have come under significant scrutiny, nutrient offsetting is a simpler market, with fewer participants and clear ways of measuring success.

Why are our rivers too full of nutrients?

• In the early industrial period, rivers around the world were seen as dumping grounds, from factory chemicals to tannery waste.
• Since then, many countries have worked hard to clean up their waterways, with major successes including the UK’s Thames river.
• When too much fertiliser is applied, heavy rains can wash it into rivers.
• This can cause algal blooms, fish kills and water too disgusting to drink without expensive treatment.

Why do we need offsetting at all?

• That’s because the costs are too high to be borne by any one sector, such as farmers.
• By contrast, regulations on nutrients discharged by sewage treatment plants place limits of how much can be released into rivers and estuaries.
• That’s why offsetting can be useful, as it offers a win-win.
• Healthier riverbanks create better habitat for birds, reptiles and mammals and makes rivers healthier for fish and other species.

What’s next?

• For it to gain traction across Australia means working to make sure the systems and science are mature.
• To maximise benefits and give participants certainty, we’ll need to shift from a piecemeal trial approach to a coordinated trading scheme.
• Catchment runoff nutrients are mostly bound to soil particles, while sewage treatment plants have much more dissolved nutrients.

Creative solutions are necessary

Despite our efforts in cleaning up many of our rivers, traditional approaches haven’t been enough to stop nutrient pollution. It’s time to explore creative new approaches to make our rivers and reefs healthier.

• The agency will provide live coverage of Cygnus' departure starting at 7 a.m. EDT on NASA Television, the NASA app , and on the agency's website at:
  Flight controllers on the ground will send commands for the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach Cygnus from the Unity module's Earth-facing port, then maneuver the spacecraft into position for its release at 7:20 a.m. UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi will monitor Cygnus' systems during its departure from the space station .
• Cygnus arrived at the space station in November 2022, following a launch on Northrop Grumman's Antares rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia.
• It was the company's 18th commercial resupply services mission to the space station for NASA.
• Northrop Grumman named the spacecraft after the late NASA astronaut, physicist, and first American woman in space, Sally Ride .
