Dating during the pandemic has been tough for many people, with virus concerns and quarantining. Some dating apps have reported an increase in users, with experts saying the apps are not just being used to form romantic connections."COVID has been terrible for the world but as far as the dating industry, it’s been great because people still want to have that connection with other people," said Jonathan Kirkland, Director of Brand Marketing for BLK, Match Group's largest dating app for Black singles with more than 4 million downloads nationwide.Kirkland says the pandemic has boosted their app's usage, with many people still yearning for that human connection. Specifically, Kirkland says, the Black Lives Matter movement has also made their role especially important in the black community."We took it a step further and we’re actually using the app to find different ways to engage with our audience. So, whether that's around timely social issues, political issues, things affecting the community specifically, we create those engaging experiences for people to still sound off in, have those broader conversations. So, it's not just a one-to-one connection but a one-to-many connection and using the platform to really amplify those voices," said Kirkland.University of Denver psychologist Dr. Howard Markman says dating apps have the potential to play a bigger, more positive role in single people's mental health during the pandemic. Dr. Howard is conducting a study that, so far, shows many people aren't using dating apps for romance."They're sometimes connecting with people, very rarely meeting people, very rarely forming a relationship, and I feel, and we feel, my class feels, and other classes, that people can be using dating apps as a way of connecting," said Dr. Markman.Dr. Markman says virtual friendships are crucial right now. "They can use it to find a friend that they could have a romantic relationship with in the future but they can actually get to know the person first. We call that the counter hook-up culture," said Dr. Markman."As we look to 2021, I think the trend that you’ll see a lot is more of these dating apps going beyond just the core of dating," said Kirkland.In fact, BLK says it is continuing to introduce new features and engagement opportunities on their app to keep people connected on social issues important to them. Helping people maintain a sense of connection and community as the COVID-19 pandemic continues into 2021. 2484

Debate is part of life in DC. Right now, that debate includes the highest court in the land and how to replace one of its iconic members.“Well obviously, it’s a very contentious situation,” said Patrick Wohlfarth, a professor at the University of Maryland who studies the history of the Supreme Court.“When Trump nominates someone and the Republican Party in the Senate is able to confirm, to successfully confirm that nominee, it stands to assume that, that is going to shift the court to the right and perhaps significantly so,” said Wohlfarth. Three of the current justices were appointed by a Democratic president and five were appointed by a Republican. If President Donald Trump's next appointee is confirmed that number would grow to six.That kind of ideological shift could make a huge impact on a variety of issues that directly affect American lives.“Healthcare, the individual mandate should be struck down,” said Michael Wille a Washington, D.C. resident.“There’s issues around who to love, how to care for our own selves. Issues around Native American and Indigenous rights. Rights to religion and all of these issues around justice,” said Liz Theoharis with the Poor People's Campaign. “Ending our involvement in foreign wars, school choice, reforming entitlements. I want my generation to see social security and medicare,” said Willie.“From healthcare to civil rights to women’s rights, women’s reproductive rights, I mean everything is on the table,” said Mike Gee, a Washington D.C. resident.One issue that comes up a lot, is the possibility of overturning Roe v. Wade, the nearly 50-year-old Supreme Court decision that protects a woman's right to an abortion.“As a woman, the court thinking that you can pass judgement on my body is not something I agree with,” said Theoharris. “With Ruth Bader Ginsburg no longer on the court, the person that fills that seat has the potential to swing the court majority view of certain abortion restrictions in the opposite direction,”A potential swing that will play out in hearing rooms in DC but affects American lives for the foreseeable future.“It’s everything, that’s the point,” said Gee. 2161

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will address the devastating wildfires that are currently ravaging the West Coast in scheduled remarks on Monday afternoon.During a prepared speech that he delivered at the Natural History Museum in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, Biden appealed to voters by attempting to position himself as a champion of environmentalism and a candidate who "respects science."Conversely, Biden painted Trump as a climate change denier, claiming that Trump has ignored the ever-increasing threat brought by climate change."Dangers of climate change are already here," Biden said.In pointed phrasing, Biden later adding that Americans "aren't safe" from natural disasters wrought by climate change in "Donald Trump's America." In recent months, the Trump campaign has pushed the idea that America would not be safe from violent crime in "Joe Biden's America."Biden did not take questions from the media following his address.Biden's address came as millions of acres of forest have been lost to wildfires in recent weeks in more than a dozen states in the western U.S. Among the states hardest hit by the blazes are northern California, Oregon and Washington, which have seen a combined 35 deaths due to wildfire in recent weeks.Though cooler weather helped firefighters calm the fires over the weekend, officials worry that high wind gusts in the region could cause problems in the days to come.Wildfires have become an increasingly dangerous and destructive problem in recent years due to increased temperatures and drought in the region. Some experts believe the crisis will only worsen in years to come.President Donald Trump was scheduled to receive a briefing on the fires during a visit to the Sacramento area on Monday.Biden's speech also came amid a flurry of tropical storm activity in the Atlantic Ocean. As of Monday afternoon, there are five named storms churning in the ocean. One of those storms, Hurricane Sally, is expected to make landfall in Louisiana on Tuesday. 2023

DENVER -- Being a mom can be a delicate balance—one that Jennifer Knowles knows all too well. She just earned her PhD while raising three rambunctious boys with her husband.The balance Knowles and parents all over the world face is loving and supporting their kids while teaching them about things like responsibility to lay the foundation for their futures. That was exactly what Knowles was trying to do this Memorial Day in her Stapleton, Colorado neighborhood.“We have never had a lemonade stand and the boys thought Memorial Day weekend is going to be great weather, so why not have a lemonade stand across the street in the park,” Knowles said. Like many, Knowles made and sold lemonade during her summers as a kid. She appreciates all of the life lessons that come along with the idea.“I want to teach my kids about being an entrepreneur and having your own business. My 6-year-old got his little toy cash register out that he got when he was about two or three and he was learning how to interact with customers and about customer service,” Knowles said.He was also learning about the value of money and practicing his addition and subtraction skills. All of the money from the stand was going to charity. The boys were planning on donating all of their proceeds to Compassion International.“We here are very fortunate and we forget that many kids in the world are not as fortunate as we are in Colorado or in the country, and so I wanted to teach them how to donate money to a charity,” Knowles said.Together, her sons picked a child in Indonesia to help provide basic necessities for, including clean water.“They picked a little 5-year-old boy from Indonesia with siblings, two siblings, kind of like them,” she said.For a while, things were going well with their lemonade stand, which they set up in a park right across the street from their house near an outdoor art show.“They got a lot of people coming and praising the boys and telling them that they were doing a great job,” Knowles said. “That was so good for my boys to hear and for them to interact with people they’ve never met before in a business way.”But just a half-hour into their business venture, police arrived.“The police officers came over and they said that because my boys and I did not have permits for a lemonade stand they shut us down and we had to stop immediately,” she said. “My boys were crushed. They were devastated. And I can’t believe that happened. I remember as a child I always had lemonade stands and never had to worry about being shut down by the police officers. I mean that’s unheard of.”It was a scary experience for the kids and something that Knowles says shouldn’t have happened.“My 6-year-old he saw the police officers coming over and he ran and he hid,” she said. “My 4-year-old came over and was looking at the police officer and heard what he was saying. He started to frown and then he started to cry. And it made me want to cry because they were so upset.”Knowles says someone from the nearby art show called police on her sons and complained.“The police officers, they couldn’t have been nicer, but someone complained about us,” she said. “It makes me sad that someone would do that.”Knowles started doing some research and found that Utah passed a law last year allowing for child-run lemonade stands and other small businesses to operate without a permit.She wants something similar to be passed in Colorado.A spokesperson for the city's permitting department said there are no rules explicitly prohibiting a lemonade stand, but there are also no rules protecting it.Communications Program Manager Alexandra Foster said her department does not typically go out to enforce its permitting rules against children. However, if a call is made to police about a certain lemonade stand blocking traffic for instance, the family could be asked to shut the lemonade stand down. She added that temporary stands typically don’t need a permit, but if a stand was set up on a regular basis that it might.“If our inspectors go to a lemonade stand, it means we’ve received a complaint, and generally complaints stem from high levels of activity or noise that disrupt neighbors,” Foster said. “So generally, as long as the impact is minimal, we’re happy to let kids have fun in the summer.She said that the home business permit is generally intended for adults selling foods they’ve grown or prepared from scratch for income.The closest ordinance  that might regulate lemonade stands is the 2014, Denver city council approved rule that focuses on at-home sales of fresh produce and cottage foods. According to that ordinance, sellers of certain products that are grown locally must obtain a home occupation zoning permit to sell and complete a food safety course.However, the ordinance only applies to fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs, eggs and low-risk, unrefrigerated foods such as teas, honey and jam.Because lemons are not typically grown in the state, the ordinance usually doesn’t apply to lemonade stands.Still, Knowles wants parents to know what she went through just in case their kids are planning on setting up a stand this summer.“I want parents know that they need to be aware that if their kids want to have a lemonade stand there could be repercussions like there with my kids,” Knowles said. 5337
