And that day was a Monday

A formal resolution document from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago recognizing April as National Arab American Heritage Month. The design features a light background with a blue border and a faint Chicago skyline at the top. The headline reads “Resolution” followed by “National Arab American Heritage Month” in large gold text. Several “Whereas” paragraphs describe the history, contributions, and cultural significance of Arab Americans, including references to immigration history, diverse heritage, and the Arab American community in southwest Cook County. The district’s seal appears near the center. The resolution concludes with “Now, therefore, be it resolved,” formally recognizing the month and honoring Arab American contributions. At the bottom, it is dated April 2, 2026, and lists the Board of Commissioners: Kari K. Steele (President), Patricia Theresa Flynn (Vice President), Marcelino Garcia (Chairman of Finance), Precious Brady-Davis, Yumeka Brown, Cameron Davis, Beth McElroy Kirkwood, Eira L. Corral Sepúlveda, and Sharon Waller.

Scam and Fraud on Facebook Marketplace: Counterfeit Apple Products Facebook team including the Meta Pay Support, Facebook Fraud team, and Facebook Marketplace has been completely incompetent and utterly useless in reducing fraud and scam on this platform. First, despite giving sufficient evidence, the Facebook team has not yet banned the scammer Fernando Alfaro. Second, while buying products on Marketplace, Facebook falsely advertises that purchases are protected and if items are not genuine then Facebook would refund the purchase. However, this is just a complete lie. After reaching out to customer support, my claim was denied and when I try to report Fernando, who sells indistinguishable counterfeit Apple products, all Facebook does is send an automated “No community policies were violated”. Unless engaging in fraud and scam, is acceptable under these policies, I don’t see any reason a scammer would be allowed to dupe people on this platform. I’m utterly disappointed and would not recommend Facebook Marketplace and the false “purchase protection” policies assured by Facebook. Serial number of fake Apple AirPods Pro 3: M2VWCTQHGQ Scammer Fernando Alfaro: @pablo.alfaro.582390 (Who has conveniently blocked me after I bought the fake product from him; please report him and prevent more people from getting scammed) Federal Trade Commission Midlothian Community Policing Safety Committee Village of Midlothian FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation Cook County Sheriff's Office (Official) Illinois State University Police Department Midlothian Illinois Police Department Edit: When trying to post this, Facebook removed it citing "Cybersecurity issue". Scammers are free to do anything they want on the platform, but victims are scrutinized.

Gary Comer College Prep Middle School students and an engineer from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago stand at the front of a classroom, smiling beside desks with clear cups and water samples during a STEM lesson on filtration on March 20, 2026. A presentation screen behind them explains water treatment. In a second close-up image, a student pours cloudy water through a cup filled with filter materials like sand and gravel, demonstrating the filtration process.
Students at Gary Comer College Prep Middle School teamed up with MWRD staff to explore how water filtration works. These future problem-solvers are diving into real-world STEM and discovering how we protect our waterways every day.
