Daniella Fodera got an unusually early morning call from her research adviser this month: The doctoral student’s fellowship at Columbia University had been suddenly terminated.

Fodera sobbed on phone calls with her parents. Between the fellowship application and scientific review process, she had spent a year of her life securing the funding, which helped pay for her study of the biomechanics of uterine fibroids — tissue growths that can cause severe pain, bleeding and even infertility. Uterine fibroids, an underresearched condition, impact up to 77 percent of women as they age.

“I’m afraid of what it means for women’s health,” Fodera said. “I’m just one puzzle piece in the larger scheme of what is happening. So me alone, canceling my funding will have a small impact — but canceling the funding of many will have a much larger impact. It will stall research that has been stalled for decades already. For me, that’s sad and an injustice.”

[...]

Researchers say threats to federal research funding and President Donald Trump’s promise to eliminate any policy promoting “diversity, equity and inclusion” are threatening a decades-long effort to improve how the nation studies the health of women and queer people, or improve treatments for the medical conditions that affect them. Agency employees have been warned not to approve grants that include words such as “women,” “trans” or “diversity.”

That could mean halting efforts to improve the nation’s understanding of conditions that predominantly affect women, including endometriosis, menopause, infectious diseases contracted in pregnancy and pregnancy-related death. It could also stall research meant to treat conditions such as asthma, heart disease, depression and substance abuse disorders, which have different health implications for women versus men, and also have outsized impacts on LGBTQ+ people and people of color — often underresearched patients. [...]

The United States already lagged in promoting scientific inquiry that considered how sex and gender can influence health — and has a recent history of focusing research on White men. Less than 50 years ago, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) actively discouraged researchers from including women who could become pregnant in clinical trials for new medical products, leaving it often unclear if U.S.-based therapeutics were safe for them. It wasn’t until 1993 that clinical trials were legally required to include women and “individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.” [...]

The report, requested by Congress, also found that researchers still struggled to understand the implications of common conditions such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids, the long-term implications of pregnancy, or gender gaps in mental health conditions — all areas where Black women in particular experience worse health outcomes or face heightened barriers to appropriate treatment. Investments had stalled in looking at how sex and gender interact with race or class in influencing people’s health outcomes.

'It's erasure': One of San Francisco's most celebrated sites is at a crossroads

The site of the Compton's Cafeteria Riot is now owned by one of the country's largest private prison companies

By Timothy Karoff, Culture ReporterMay 9, 2025

For decades, one of San Francisco’s storied cultural landmarks has endured a cruel and bizarre irony: The site of a historic LGBTQ+ riot is owned by one of the nation’s largest private prison operators.

Located at what was once known as the toughest corner of the Tenderloin, 101-121 Taylor Street was the site of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria Riot. At a time when police routinely targeted and harassed LGBTQ+ communities, a transgender woman threw a cup of coffee in the face of a police officer, sparking a 200-person riot that ended with a newsstand being set ablaze. The riot may be the first documented LGBTQ+ riot against the police. (Manhattan’s Stonewall riots took place in 1969, three years later.) 

Since the riot’s recognition in 2005 by professor and historian Susan Stryker, 101-121 Taylor at the crossroads of Turk and Taylor streets has taken on something of a sacred significance in San Francisco. The site is marked by not one, but two, plaques. It’s in the National Register of Historic Places, and the intersection is the endpoint of the city’s Trans March.

Yet today, 111 Taylor St., in that historic building, is owned and administered by the Geo Group, one of the largest private prison operators in the country. The Geo Group runs processing centers for ICE, and its facilities have been subject to a litany of civil rights complaints. The Geo Group operates a halfway house, or reentry facility, at the former site of the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot. The facility’s track record is murky: During COVID-19 restrictions, the San Francisco public defender’s office co-produced a documentary accusing the facility of overcrowding and failing to adequately protect residents from the virus.

Local activists argue that the Geo Group’s use of the building defiles the riot’s legacy. Now, for the first time in years, they may have a small chance to reclaim the building.

Laborde, a Ph.D. candidate at UC Berkeley who lives in San Francisco, told SFGATE that if she and her fellow activists successfully appeal the LOD, the Geo Group will be forced to submit a new permit application and undergo a public review process. That would open the door for more community input — and, in an optimistic long-term scenario, could allow a group like the Compton’s x Coalition to purchase and repurpose the building.

“This gives the community a real opportunity to challenge GEO’s use of the building through a formal public process—with hearings, public comment, and community oversight,” Laborde wrote in an email to SFGATE.

The Geo Group did not answer questions about the hearing, or about its facility’s historic location, when SFGATE reached out for this story. Instead, Geo Group spokesperson Monica Hook shared a generic statement:

“Operated by GEO Reentry Services since 1989, the Taylor Street Residential Reentry Center (RRC) provides temporary housing, monitoring, and transitional services to adult individuals as they return to the community. This community-based solution provides a safe and secure residential setting as an alternative to custody or as a step down from incarceration, with the flexibility to meet the individual risk and needs of each resident.”

At Wednesday’s hearing, Tenderloin community members and local activists filed in to watch the proceedings and share public comments, quickly filling up the meeting room.

Laborde argued that she missed the initial appeal period for the LOD because the planning department failed to notify her that it was issued, in spite of her having signed up to be informed. A land use attorney representing the Geo Group, David Blackwell, said the Board should focus on whether the city actually failed to properly notify her. Blackwell emphasized that the city has no obligation to notify interested individuals when it issues LODs.

“This is not an extraordinary case, and there’s no evidence on the record to support a finding that the city intentionally or inadvertently caused the requestor to be two months late in filing the appeal,” Blackwell said. 

As the hearing moved on to public comment, community members spoke out about the Geo Group, the appeals process and 111 Taylor’s historical significance.

D’Andrea Gates-Riley, a reentry case manager, told the Board that when she was incarcerated, she applied for a spot in the Geo Group’s reentry program, but was denied on the basis of her past gender-affirming surgeries.

“It’s erasure,” Kara Plaxa, a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton, said of the Geo Group’s use of the building. “We protect Victorian houses. We landmark libraries. But will we protect queer resistance?” 

Shane Zaldivar, who also works for OTI and attended the hearing in a personal capacity, said that the fact that Laborde received no notice from the Planning Department is a perfect example of  bureaucracy. “If there’s no way to get an update, if someone did all the things and still failed to learn and get active notifications on this appeal, how does the public get to participate?” Zaldivar said.

After public comments, Board of Appeals President John Trasviña said that the city inadvertently caused Laborde to be late in filing her appeal.

“I believe that the city has not protected the rights of Ms. Laborde, and from the testimony tonight, it’s clear that the city has not protected the rights of everyone who has spoken and who feels strongly about this issue,” Trasviña said.

“We have ample evidence, overwhelming evidence, that this is part of an extraordinary case,” he added.

It’s a small, but unprecedented, foothold. After the hearing, Compton’s x Coalition members filed out of the meeting room and lined up on City Hall’s steps for a press conference. The mood was celebratory. Two stood in front and held up a trans flag, and the group broke into chants of, “Liberate Compton’s” and “GEO out of Compton’s site.”

“This is a huge step forward,” Ezra Reaves, a member of the group, said after a wave of chants died out. “We’re going to continue to fight for the preservation of this legacy. This is not the end. This is just the beginning.”

BIS Registration in India: Everything You Need to Know

Given the growing and competitive Indian market, product safety, and quality assurance are of utmost importance. There are undoubtedly manufacturers from India and foreign brands wanting a foothold in India that need to secure BIS Registration and their stamp of trust and reliability from the Indian consumers.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) operates under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, as the national body for setting standards and quality certification of goods. Thus, BIS certification is actually the third-party assurance of the quality, safety, and reliability of products provided in the Indian market.

What Is BIS Registration in India?

This is the conformity assessment process that necessitates specific products to conform to Indian standards to be sold or imported into India. The various BIS certification schemes consist of the ISI mark scheme for Indian manufacturers and the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for electronic and IT products. Such certifications serve to assure that products meet safety, performance, and environmental standards. Many electronics, household items, and industrial equipment need to be registered with the BIS in order to enter the Indian market, as mandated by the government. Therefore, in order to sell legally and maintain consumer trust, BIS registration in India is an absolute necessity.

Reasons Why BIS Certification is Important

Legal Requirement: For many product classes, BIS registration is mandatory. Selling goods that have not been registered with BIS is liable for penalties and seizure of goods.

Builds Consumer Confidence: BIS certification indicates safety and reliability of the products, giving your brand the edge over the competition.

Market Access: No BIS certification means those products cannot be sold as a law in India, hence legally restraining the manufacturers and importers from doing so.

Quality Benchmarking: BIS is the one giving away the quality mark, ensuring that the product is constant, performing, and safe.

Who Needs BIS Registration?

Broadly speaking, the ones that are generally required to apply for BIS registration in India include:

Domestic manufacturers producing regulated goods

Foreign manufacturers exporting to India

Importers and distributors who sell products under their brand name

E-commerce sellers listing BIS-covered products online

Product Categories Covered Under BIS

The Government of India has made BIS certification compulsory for several products that include:

Electronic and IT goods (for example, mobile phones, laptops, LED lights)

Home appliances (for example, refrigerators, washing machines)

Industrial goods (for example, cement, steel bars)

Automobile components

Medical devices

Pressure cookers and gas stoves

And many more!

Manufacturers should keep pace with the ever-evolving list of regulated items.

Types of BIS Certification Schemes

ISI Mark Certification Scheme: For a wide range of products manufactured in India. It denotes that the product meets the Indian Standard as laid down by the BIS.

Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS): Most applicable to IT and electronic products. Under CRS, manufacturers must get their products tested in BIS-approved labs and then register.

Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS): For non-Indian manufacturers who wish to sell products in India.

BIS Registration Process

While the peculiarities of the process vary according to what the product is and the manufacturer location (domestic or foreign), general processes would include:

Product Testing: Samples are tested in BIS-recognized laboratories.

Application Submission: A detailed application is filed along with lab test reports and required documents.

BIS Review: BIS officials review the application and test reports for compliance.

Grant of License: Once approved, the manufacturer receives BIS certification, allowing them to use the appropriate mark (ISI or CRS) on their products.

The timeline varies and can take anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks depending upon the complexity of the product and responsiveness of the parties engaged.

Solar Collector Market: Key Growth Drivers Powering the Global Expansion of the Sector Today

Solar Collector Market Drivers

Government Support and Renewable Energy Policies

Governments across the world are increasingly implementing favorable policies and mandates to promote the adoption of renewable energy sources, including solar thermal systems. Regulatory frameworks such as tax incentives, subsidies, rebates, feed-in tariffs, and zero-emission goals are among the top drivers pushing the solar collector market forward. Countries like India and China have actively integrated solar energy into their national energy strategies. In Europe, Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) schemes and Solar District Heating (SDH) programs continue to incentivize residential and industrial installations of solar collectors. This policy-driven environment enhances affordability and encourages large-scale investments in solar thermal technologies.

Environmental and Climate Change Concerns

With the rising urgency to mitigate climate change and reduce carbon emissions, solar collectors are gaining traction as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based heating systems. Solar collectors produce zero-emission heat, making them a preferred solution in both residential and commercial settings. As global organizations and governments commit to achieving net-zero carbon goals, the demand for solar thermal technologies is set to rise significantly.

Furthermore, it resists fraying and retains its strength in wet conditions. Whether exposed to sun, rain, or snow, it won’t degrade quickly like cotton or low-quality polyester cords. This makes it ideal for long-term outdoor use.

Available Lengths and Customer Assurance

The paracord is available in multiple lengths—50 ft, 100 ft, and 1,000 ft—to suit your specific needs. Whether you're tackling a small DIY project or preparing for a full-blown survival setup, there's a size that fits your plan.

Please note: Some spools may include two separate lengths of cord due to the manufacturing process. If you need a continuous piece for your project, simply inform the store after checkout, and they will accommodate your request.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're an outdoorsman, survival enthusiast, or hobbyist, Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Camo 550 Paracord offers unmatched versatility, strength, and durability. With a color scheme that complements natural environments and materials that meet military standards, this paracord is an essential addition to any toolkit or craft box.

Biogas Plant: A Sustainable Solution for Clean Energy and Waste Management

Introduction to Biogas Plants

A biogas plant is a facility that converts organic waste materials into biogas—a renewable energy source—and biofertilizer through a process called anaerobic digestion. This eco-friendly technology is gaining popularity worldwide as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels while addressing waste disposal challenges.

How a Biogas Plant Works

Biogas plants operate by breaking down biodegradable material (such as food waste, manure, sewage, and crop residues) in an oxygen-free environment. The process is carried out by anaerobic bacteria, resulting in the production of:

Biogas: A mixture of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), which can be used for cooking, heating, electricity generation, or as vehicle fuel.

Digestate: A nutrient-rich organic fertilizer ideal for agriculture.

Main Components of a Biogas Plant

Feedstock Input Chamber: Where organic materials are fed.

Digester Tank: The airtight chamber where anaerobic digestion occurs.

Gas Holder/Dome: Collects and stores the produced biogas.

Slurry Outlet: Releases the leftover digestate for use as fertilizer.

Benefits of Biogas Plants

1. Renewable Energy Production

Biogas is a clean, renewable source of energy that reduces dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels.

2. Effective Waste Management

Biogas plants help in treating organic waste sustainably, reducing landfill use, odor, and pollution.

3. Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Anaerobic digestion prevents methane from escaping into the atmosphere, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

4. Cost Savings and Energy Independence

Farmers, industries, and communities using biogas can reduce electricity and cooking fuel costs while gaining energy independence.

5. Improved Soil Fertility

The by-product digestate is rich in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, improving soil health and crop yields.

Applications of Biogas Technology

Residential Use: For cooking and heating.

Industrial Use: Powering machinery or heating systems.

Agricultural Use: Managing livestock waste and producing fertilizer.

Municipal Use: Wastewater treatment and energy generation.

Challenges in Biogas Plant Implementation

Despite the many advantages, biogas plants face some challenges, including:

High initial setup costs

Lack of awareness and technical expertise

Maintenance and operational issues in rural or underdeveloped areas

However, with increasing government support, subsidies, and advancements in technology, these challenges are gradually being overcome.

Biogas Plant in India and Global Trends

India has seen rapid growth in biogas adoption through initiatives like the SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) scheme, encouraging Compressed Biogas (CBG) production. Globally, countries like Germany, China, and Sweden are leading in biogas technology integration into national energy grids.

Conclusion

Biogas plants represent a powerful step toward achieving a circular economy, where waste is transformed into valuable resources. With proper investment and education, biogas technology can significantly contribute to energy security, environmental protection, and rural development.
