This means washing, drying, and often folding and putting away dirty clothes, linens, and other textiles to make them clean and ready to wear again. This common household chore involves gathering dirty items, loading them into a washing machine, transferring them to a dryer or hanging them to dry, and then folding and storing them in their proper places.
Gathering and Sorting: Collecting dirty clothes and separating them into piles based on color and fabric type.
Washing: Loading the sorted clothes into a washing machine with detergent and water, then running the washing cycle.
Drying: Transferring the washed items to a dryer or hanging them on a clothesline to dry.
Folding and Putting Away: Folding the dry clothes and placing them in drawers or closets completes the job.

It has been said that all news is local and too many people no longer care about what’s going on around them. How does democracy survive without reliable sources of news and information content?

In a historic moment for American broadcast journalism, NBCUniversal has officially consolidated WNBC (NBC 4 New York) and WNJU (Telemundo 47) under one roof at the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza, establishing the nation’s first bilingual, co-located newsgathering powerhouse. This milestone caps a five-year strategic initiative aimed at aligning two of the most respected local news brands in the country. The idea was planted by Roberto FE Soto, who formerly served as a senior producer for NBC News and news director for Telemundo in both Los Angeles and New York. “What began as a vision, a belief that NBC and Telemundo could come together to serve our communities, has now become a transformative reality,” said Soto. “Leading this initiative has been one of the most humbling and rewarding experiences of my career.” The newly unified operation brings together decades of award-winning journalism and cultural relevance in English and Spanish-language broadcasting, setting a new standard for inclusive and dynamic local news coverage. The move to 30 Rock was made possible by the relentless work of NBCUniversal’s Operations team and key partners across the company and the country. Their dedication, technical expertise, and tireless efforts turned a bold idea into a fully operational, future-facing news facility. “The unification of WNBC and WNJU not only honors the legacy of both stations, but also forges a path forward, one that embraces the diversity of our audiences and the evolving ways they consume content,” RFE UB Soto. The co-location marks a new chapter for local journalism in the U.S., reinforcing NBCUniversal’s commitment to innovation, inclusion, and community connection.

We're awash with predictions about the impact of artificial intelligence on higher education. The accounts differ wildly in their prognoses but share the assumption that AI is not going away, and is likely to upend every facet of how universities function. Enrollment managers may use it to increase yields; counselors could rely on it to address student health; student advisers will use it to boost retention; and financial analysts to model and mitigate risk. AI will continue to insert itself into the classroom, forever altering the relationship between faculty and students.

World Press Freedom is clouded by a somber and troubling development: the ill-advised silencing of AP, VOA, PBS, and NPR.

These are America's and the world’s preeminent international news broadcasters. For nearly two centuries, they have been more than news and information outlets; these are beacons of hope, forces for truth, and a vital instrument of public affairs throughout the world.
