Article 1: Twitter, Pinterest crack down on voter misinformation https://www.gainesville.com/ZZ/news/20200130/twitter-pinterest-crack-down-on-voter-misinformation The article talks about voter misinformation and how various social media platforms, specifically Twitter and Pinterest, are working to eliminate false information that pertains to voting time and locations as well as any advertisements that discourage people from voting.  The problem, in my opinion, is that there is not enough monitoring of what is posted about politics and elections on social media, especially during elections.  To me, the people who have the problem in this situation, are not only the people running in the elections, but also the voters, informed or otherwise. Even if you are trying to be an informed voter, it is hard to be informed when there is so much untruthful information going around about the elections.  Article 2: 'Divine intervention' Tampa Bay man creates device for...

Straws in Gainesville City Limits I believe that there is an unmet need in the way of an alternative to using paper straws. I think that while it is a great idea to cut back on the amount of plastic we use in the city limits, I do not think that paper straws are the best option. It seems to me that when I talk to other people about this I get the same reaction, that they like the idea of getting rid of the plastic straws, but that they are unsatisfied with the length of use and lifespan of the paper straws. I belief that there should be an alternative to paper straws in restaurants. Since the recent implementation of paper straws and the forced removal of plastic straws. It seems to me that the "customers" in this situation are most people who eat out in Gainesville. I'm about 85 percent that this opportunity exists but I am unsure of how to meet the need as of now.  Interview 1: Adult woman (early 40s) How often do you get a drink with a straw? At least 4 time...

  When I was first hired at Publix, we were required to attend an orientation class that went over the ways of Publix and how the company works, as well as the history behind the company that we all know today. I had been interested in the company previously, but through the orientation I learned much of how it started and who George Jenkins was along with his vision of the store. I was fascinated to find out that not only did Mr. George was able to come up with and implement a great deal of new and noteworthy ideas for supermarkets such as having air conditioning, music playing in the background, and automatic doors at the entrance.

If you pay attention in daily life you start to realize things that bug you.  My AirPods die at different speeds even though it seems like I used them the same amount.  Why?  It is possible that the separate AirPods regain their charge at different speeds meaning they do not start out the day with the same amount of charge as each other.  I see customers look at the "10 items or fewer" sign and still get in my line even with many more than 10 items.  Why?  Customers seem to think that it will not be a big deal if they get in line with 30 items because it "will just take a few extra minutes." Customers return items that need to be kept refrigerated for their money back and we have to damage out the items and we are not able to sell them to other customers. Why?  Customers are not aware of the rules of keeping cold products within certain temperatures.  Pockets in women's dress pants are usually very small and not able to hold anythin...
