▼ + stars: | 2024-07-10 | by ( Cecilia Reyes | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +44 min

The nature of illegal lockouts means they are hard to track directly. One of the responding officers calls a sergeant over, who says there's nothing else they can do. While only 14% of lockout calls led to a police report, 86% of calls about shoplifting did. As they walk over, one of the officers tells the other to look up "illegal lockout" on his phone. A 2006 bill that would have defined illegal lockouts for all Illinois residents was defeated.

But retrofitting an over one-hundred-year-old structure into a eco-friendly building seemed like too much to hope for. But by 2020, he and his wife, Megan Milligan, had fully converted their home to net-zero, producing so much solar energy that their yearly electricity bill dropped from $1,100 to $285.

Since then, her life has been wholly coffee-centric: from working as a barista to making TikTok videos of latte art and sketches based on her experiences working in coffee houses. In 2022, Eckroth entered the U.S. Barista Championship tournament and emerged as that year's champion. And she says she has more to say about coffee at this year's competition.

☆ Why we’re so bad at forming new habits—and how to be better
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Megan Sauer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

My younger, more disciplined sister hates resolutions: "Why wait for a calendar date to do something that's good for you? Make the decision to be better now," she says, as I eat Christmas cookie dough and promise to give up sugar starting Jan. 1. We need to better understand how habits are formed. So, how do you implement healthier habits without thinking too hard? When it's hard to exercise or eat perfectly or if you just really, really crave takeout from a single-use plastic container, forgive yourself.
