In an overcrowded market, good branding is the difference between failure and success for modern nongovernmental organizations.
The nongovernmental organization (NGO) industry is at a turning point. With an oversaturation of donation drives attempting to raise money through pity or guilt, many NGOs are struggling to achieve sustainable engagement and impact in the absence of strong, clear branding.
The government hasn’t disclosed to the public the national security concerns cited in the TikTok law.
TikTok, the short-video company with Chinese roots, did the most American thing possible on May 7, 2024: It sued the U. S. government, in the person of Attorney General Merrick Garland, in federal court.

With a zap of electricity from well-placed electrodes on the back of the neck, patients with tetraplegia can regain some modest yet potentially "life-changing" functioning of their hands and arms, according to data from a small clinical trial published Monday in Nature Medicine.

Last week, Google sent a cashier's check to the US government that it claimed in a court filing covers "every dollar the United States could conceivably hope to recover" in damages during the Google adtech monopoly trial scheduled to start this September.

American Airlines, facing lawsuits after a flight attendant allegedly filmed girls using plane bathrooms, is blaming a 9-year-old girl for being secretly recorded.
The airline in a new court filing is arguing that the young girl should have known that the airplane toilet contained a recording device.
“Defendant would show that any injuries or illnesses alleged to have been sustained by Plaintiff, Mary Doe, were proximately caused by Plaintiff’s own fault and negligence,” American Airlines’ lawyers wrote in their defense filing.
The airline’s attorneys added about the 9-year-old girl using “the compromised lavatory” on the plane: “She knew or should have known contained a visible and illuminated recording device.”
The lawsuits against American Airlines started after a former flight attendant was arrested in connection with allegedly recording a 14-year-old girl in a plane’s bathroom on a Boston-bound flight.

So, at first glance, when it comes to the energy used to get more energy—the energy return on investment—fossil fuels seem like a clear winner.
