Legislature Stands Up to Powerful Interests, Protects Survivors' Rights and Rejects Utility Bailout

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At 7:26 this morning, the California Legislature published the newly amended text of SB 492, confirming a major victory for wildfire survivors, insurance policyholders and California families.

The gut-and-amend legislation, authored by Senator Josh Becker and Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, rejects the harmful provisions proposed this summer and preserves survivors' fundamental rights to hold utilities accountable for the fires they cause.

Every Fire Survivor's Network and Consumer Watchdog today expressed profound gratitude to the California Senate and Assembly for listening to the real fire survivors, centering California families and standing firm against some of the most powerful interests in the state. 

This is democracy at work. For weeks, wildfire survivors organized, advocated and traveled to Sacramento to make their voices heard. More than 4,700 individuals and organizations representing 3.5 million Americans joined the campaign at DearNewsom.org to oppose the utility bailout. Journalists shone a light on what was at stake. Californians spoke up. And our elected representatives listened, deliberated and acted.

The newly released legislation:

Does not cap the economic or noneconomic damages survivors may recover.

Does not deny recovery to smoke-damage survivors outside an artificial fire-perimeter line.

Does not limit local governments' ability to recover their losses from utilities that cause fires.

Does not limit private businesses' ability to recover their losses from utilities that cause fires.

Does not limit insurance companies' right to recover from utilities, which would have shifted the costs of utility-caused fires onto policyholders.

Does not limit the contingency fees of attorneys representing individual wildfire survivors.

Instead, SB 492 establishes a Fast Pay program intended to help survivors receive compensation more quickly. Crucially, the final language allows survivors to file lawsuits and proceed with discovery, preserving the essential evidence-gathering that enables survivors, regulators, courts and the public to determine how a fire started and hold the responsible utility accountable. Only after discovery would a limited stay apply while a survivor completes the Fast Pay process.

"Survivors from across California came to Sacramento and asked our elected representatives to stand with the people whose homes, communities and lives have been devastated," said Joy Chen, Executive Director of Every Fire Survivor's Network. "They listened. And in the face of extraordinary pressure from some of the most powerful interests in our state, they centered survivors and California families."

"We are profoundly grateful, especially to Senate pro Tem Monique Limón for her leadership," Chen continued. "Our legislators showed Californians what representative democracy can look like when elected leaders listen to the people they serve. This is an enormous victory for every Californian who could become the victim of the next utility-caused fire."

"The California Legislature deserves tremendous credit for standing up for wildfire survivors and consumers in the face of intense political pressure," said Jamie Court, President of Consumer Watchdog. "Senate and Assembly leaders protected Californians' rights and refused to make families pay for fires caused by utilities. This was a remarkable display of courage by our elected representatives. Senate pro Tem Monique Limón, in particular, deserves tremendous respect for standing up for the interests of consumers and survivors."

The legislation leaves California's most urgent wildfire problem unresolved: Three for-profit utility monopolies have caused three of the five costliest wildfires in world history and keep burning down California communities. 

When the Legislature returns in January, survivors and consumer advocates look forward to tackling that fundamental question: How do we stop these companies from causing the next catastrophic fire?

Every Fire Survivor's Network's Survivor-First Proposal offers concrete solutions to strengthen prevention, ensure utilities properly spend the billions collected annually for wildfire mitigation, increase accountability and protect the people harmed when utilities fail.

Parksy.com Free Driver Tools In One App: Fine Appeals, Sign Scanning, Car Finding and Crash Reports

NEWS PROVIDED BY

Parksy

Aug 29, 2026, 15:05 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

A fine under the wiper, a sign you cannot decode, a car you cannot find, a crash to document — Parksy built a free tool for each and skipped the invoice.

SYDNEY, Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Parksy (parksy.com) has gathered its free driver tools into a single hub, and the collection reads like a list of the four worst moments of car ownership. A fine under the wiper. A sign you cannot decode. A car you cannot find. A crunch in a car park. The parking marketplace now offers a free tool for each, most of them usable without so much as an email address.

The AI-powered appeal calculator handles the fine. A driver describes what happened, and the tool identifies which grounds of appeal are worth arguing and helps draft the letter — while being candid when a ticket was fairly issued and not worth fighting. The sign scanner handles the pole of stacked restrictions: photograph it, and the tool answers whether you can park there and until when. The find-my-parked-car tool remembers what the multi-storey made you forget. And the car accident report walks a shaken driver through documenting a collision at the scene — photos, details, witnesses, a GPS-stamped location — then produces a PDF an insurer can use, working even without phone signal.

Founder Daniel Battaglia says the bundle is the strategy, not a loss leader that wandered off. "Every one of these tools exists because drivers kept hitting the same four walls. Other companies looked at those walls and saw four subscription products. We think the fastest way to be the platform drivers trust with parking is to be useful on the worst day they have with a car, and to not send an invoice afterwards."

The tools sit alongside Parksy's marketplace, where finding parking and listing a space are also free, with no commission taken from anyone. The company's position is consistent to the point of stubbornness: across 57 countries, the platform does not charge for introductions, information or emergencies.

All four tools are available now at https://www.parksy.com/blog/free-driver-tools, with the wider platform website and apps (both IOS and Android).

"People assume there is a catch, and the catch is that there is no catch," Battaglia said. "The tools are free because they should not cost anything. It is parking, not wizardry."

About Parksy

Parksy (parksy.com) is a free, commission-free parking marketplace operating across 57 countries. Drivers use Parksy to find and book parking, appeal unfair fines with a free AI-powered calculator, scan confusing signage, locate a parked car, and report accidents — all at no cost and with no signup required for most tools. Space owners list and rent out driveways, garages and unused spots for free, with no commission and no lease paperwork. Parksy was founded in 2011 by Daniel Battaglia and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia.

XCMG představilo první prstencový jeřáb na světě s nosností 14 000 tun USA - čeština

XUZHOU, Čína, 29. srpna 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Společnost XCMG oznámila, že z výrobní linky sjela první hlavní jednotka prvního prstencového jeřábu s nosností 14 000 tun na světě, což představuje historický průlom v technologii zvedání mimořádně těžkých břemen. Jeřáb, vyvinutý společností XCMG ve spolupráci se společností Sinopec Heavy Lifting & Transportation Co., Ltd., bude prstencovým jeřábem s největší nosností, jaký byl kdy vyroben, a stanoví tak nový standard pro rozsáhlé stavební projekty po celém světě.

XCMG Unveils World’s First 14,000-Ton Ring Crane

Jeřáb se vyznačuje modulární konfigurací sestávající ze dvou hlavních jednotek, které pracují v tandemu. První hlavní jednotka již prošla finální montáží a je schopna samostatně provádět zdvihací operace. Po dokončení a propojení obou jednotek bude mít jeřáb maximální nosnost 14 000 tun a maximální zdvihací moment 700 000 tunometrů, přičemž se očekává, že v několika klíčových výkonnostních parametrech bude patřit ke špičce v oboru.

„Tento jeřáb představuje více než jen dílčí vylepšení; znamená revoluční skok pro světové odvětví těžké zdvihací techniky," uvedl Yang Dongsheng, předseda představenstva společností XCMG Group a XCMG Machinery. „Naše partnerství se společností Sinopec vytvořilo nový integrovaný model zahrnující výzkum a vývoj, výrobu i praktické využití, čímž stanovilo nový standard v oboru v oblasti vlastních inovací a inženýrského využití velkých technických zařízení."

Prstencový jeřáb je rovněž vybaven průkopnickým systémem přímého elektrického pohonu, který přeměňuje elektrickou energii přímo na pohyb. Díky tomu přináší úsporu energie o více než 30 %, zvyšuje provozní účinnost o 20 % a snižuje náklady na palivo i emise uhlíku.

Vzhledem k tomu, že se jaderné projekty po celém světě zvětšují a stále více využívají modulární výstavbu, roste poptávka po zařízeních pro zvedání mimořádně těžkých břemen. Prstencový jeřáb o nosnosti 14 000 tun představuje významný krok v rostoucím uplatnění špičkových zdvihacích zařízení vyvinutých v Číně při výstavbě jaderných elektráren po celém světě. Může být využíván v projektech v oblasti konvenční energetiky, jaderné energetiky i větrné energetiky. V oblasti konvenční energetiky dokáže zvedat celou řadu velkých věží a nádob jako kompletní jednotky, čímž nahrazuje zvedání po částech a snižuje rizika při montáži, tlakových zkouškách a dalších instalačních pracích. Ve výstavbě jaderných elektráren nabízí světově ojedinělou schopnost: z jediné pozice jeřábu a s použitím jediné konfigurace výložníku dokáže manipulovat s moduly elektrárny a hlavním zařízením pro dva jaderné ostrovy. V oblasti mořských větrných elektráren umožňuje jeho zvedací výška a nosnost instalaci turbín s větší kapacitou.

Yang dodal: „Společnost XCMG bude i nadále rozvíjet vlastní vývoj ultravelkých strojírenských zařízení, přinášet osvědčená a spolehlivá řešení pro širší spektrum strojírenských aplikací a poskytovat zákazníkům po celém světě bezpečnější, efektivnější a energeticky úspornější stavební řešení."

СЮЙЧЖОУ, Китай, 29 августа 2026 г. /PRNewswire/ -- Компания XCMG объявила о том, что с конвейера сошел первый в мире кольцевой кран грузоподъемностью 14 000 тонн, что стало историческим прорывом в технологии подъема сверхтяжелых грузов. Разработанный совместно XCMG и Sinopec Heavy Lifting & Transportation Co., Ltd., данный кран станет самым мощным кольцевым краном из когда-либо созданных, устанавливая новый эталон для крупных строительных проектов по всему миру.

XCMG Unveils World’s First 14,000-Ton Ring Crane

Данный кран имеет модульную конфигурацию, состоящую из двух основных блоков, которые работают в тандеме. Выполнена окончательная сборка первого основного блока, и он может самостоятельно выполнять подъемные операции. После того, как оба блока будут завершены и объединены, кран будет иметь максимальную грузоподъемность 14 000 тонн и максимальный грузовой момент 700 000 тонно-метров, при этом ожидается, что несколько ключевых технических характеристик будут лидирующими в отрасли.

«Этот кран является более чем поэтапным усовершенствованием, он представляет собой преобразующий скачок для мировой индустрии большегрузных подъемных работа», — сказал Ян Дуншэн (Yang Dongsheng), председатель XCMG Group и XCMG Machinery. «Наше партнерство с Sinopec создало новую интегрированную модель, охватывающую исследования и разработки, производство и применение, устанавливая отраслевой эталон для независимых инноваций и инженерного применения крупного технического оборудования».

Кольцевой кран также оснащен новаторской электрической системой прямого привода, которая преобразует электроэнергию непосредственно в движение, обеспечивая экономию энергии более чем на 30 %, повышая эффективность работы на 20 % и снижая затраты на топливо и выбросы углерода.

По мере того, как проекты в области атомной энергетики во всем мире становятся все более крупными и модульными, растет спрос на подъемное оборудование для сверхтяжелых грузов. Кольцевой кран грузоподъемностью 14 000 тонн знаменует собой важный шаг в растущей роли высококачественного подъемного оборудования, разработанного в Китае, при строительстве атомных электростанций по всему миру. Он может использоваться в проектах традиционной энергетики, атомной энергетики и ветроэнергетики. В традиционной энергетике кран может поднимать целый ряд крупногабаритных колонн и резервуаров как единое целое, заменяя секционный подъем и снижая риски при сборке, испытаниях под давлением и других монтажных работах. При строительстве объектов атомной энергетики он первый в мире может осуществлять погрузочно-разгрузочные работы модулей установки и крупногабаритного оборудования для двух «ядерных островов» из одного положения крана и с использованием одной конфигурации стрелы. Для ветрогенераторов морского ветра мощность и высота подъема позволяют устанавливать турбины большей мощности.

Ян добавил: «XCMG продолжит продвигать независимую разработку сверхбольшого инженерного оборудования, предлагать проверенные, надежные решения для более широкого спектра применения в инженерной сфере и предоставлять клиентам по всему миру более безопасные, эффективные и энергосберегающие строительные решения».

St. Paulis Ultras machen Übergriffe in ihren Reihen öffentlich. Können Stadien durch so etwas zu mehr werden als einem Safe Space für fragile Männlichkeit? Ein Kommentar von Sarah Yolanda Koss

Berlin (ots)

Lotte, Paulin, Panama. Als fußballinteressierte Frau kenne ich sie, die Codeworte, durch die Betroffene von Gewalt in Stadien um Hilfe fragen können. Zwar sind die dortigen Fankurven eine Art Safe Space für männliche Familienmitglieder und Freunde, die dort plötzlich singen, weinen, Verletzlichkeit zeigen und Freundschaften fürs Leben schließen können. Zugleich sind sie aber auch ein Herd martialischer Männlichkeit, wo der gesellschaftlich vorhandene strukturelle Sexismus und sexualisierte Gewalt auf einen üppigen Nährboden fallen.

Das zeigt sich an Ultra-Gruppierungen, die bis heute noch mit Slogans wie "Keine Weiber in den ersten drei Reihen" werben, in Gesprächen über "Vorfälle" hinter vorgehaltener Hand in Fankurven, an Statistiken von Awareness-Teams und daran, dass jene Teams und eben erwähnte Codeworte überhaupt nötig sind. Und ja, natürlich gilt das auch für linke Ultras.

Deshalb kann der Umstand, dass es unter der Fangruppe Ultrà Sankt Pauli offenbar Übergriffe in den eigenen Reihen gegeben hat, keinen echten Fußballfan überraschen. Was allerdings positiv überrascht, ist der Umgang damit. Denn die Ultràs haben auf den ersten Blick vieles richtig gemacht. Sie sind eingeschritten, als sie von den Übergriffen erfahren haben. Sie haben Abstand zwischen Tätern und Betroffenen geschaffen. Sie haben sich in einen internen Aushandlungsprozess begeben, um die Strukturen zu ermitteln, die das übergriffige Verhalten ermöglicht haben, und um bessere Präventivmaßnahmen zu entwickeln. Außerdem haben sie in einem öffentlichen Statement Verantwortung für die Aufarbeitung der Taten übernommen.

Bleibt zu hoffen, dass die Veröffentlichung mit Einverständnis der Betroffenen passiert ist, dass sich die Ultràs auch in einen Arbeitsprozess mit den Tätern - wie sie sie nennen - begeben und dass die Veröffentlichung das lostritt, was sich die St. Pauli-Fans davon laut ihrem Statement erhoffen: eine breite und ehrliche Debatte über Grenzüberschreitungen und Gewalt in der Szene. Damit das Stadion irgendwann ein Safe Space für mehr als fragile Männlichkeit sein kann.
