New Jersey Blood Services Calls for Immediate Blood Donations as Summer “Trauma Season” Begins

New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS) is urgently calling on New Jersey residents to donate blood ahead of Memorial Day weekend as the region faces dangerously low blood collections at the start of the summer “trauma season,” one of the most difficult and critical times of year for maintaining the blood supply.

Blood donations are down nearly 15%, representing approximately 4,500 fewer donations than needed to meet hospital demand across the region. The shortfall comes just before Memorial Day weekend, when donations traditionally decline due to travel, vacations, school breaks, and holiday activities. Following a difficult winter season, spring donations have also failed to rebound as expected, and without an immediate increase in donations, the region risks entering blood emergency territory in the weeks ahead.

Seat Belts Saves LivesBuckle Up May 18 – May 31, and Every Day

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration is urging drivers to buckle up ahead of the Click It or Ticket seat belt
safety campaign. The national high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort, which coincides
with the Memorial Day holiday, runs May 18-31, 2026.
In 2024, there were 9,758 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes. The
national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%, which is good — but it can be better. The other
8.8% still need to be reminded that seat belts save lives. Participating law enforcement
agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations
day and night.
One of the focuses of the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign is nighttime enforcement.
NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained occupant fatalities happen at night (56%
between the hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m.). Of the males killed in crashes in 2023, more than
half (53%) were unrestrained. For females killed in crashes, 41% were not buckled up.
Buckle Up the Right Way

Searching for a Client-Safe AI Image Tool Without the Clutter

In mid-2026 the internet is absolutely saturated with AI image generators—every bookmark I save seems to spawn two more. The real challenge isn’t finding one that can render a photorealistic cat in a spacesuit; it’s finding one I’d be willing to open during a client call. That’s why I spent a week putting six platforms through a deliberately unglamorous test: generating common marketing visuals while paying attention to ad clutter, sign‑up nags, unexpected watermarks, and that vague feeling of digital grime that makes you hesitate before hitting “download.” The tool that quietly stood out was an AI Image Maker called ToImage AI, not because it made my jaw drop with a single image, but because it felt safe, predictable, and refreshingly adult in a landscape full of carnival barkers.

Rutgers Commencement: Emmy-winning Screenwriter Addresses Class of 2026

Christopher Markus, an Emmy-winning screenwriter who co-wrote six films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, encouraged the Class of 2026 to seize opportunities, learn from failures, and at times, plan less.

“When I graduated from college, I had no idea I’d be a screenwriter,” Markus said during the 260th anniversary commencement for Rutgers University-New Brunswick and Rutgers Health. “When I became a screenwriter, I had no idea I’d wind up writing about a guy dressed as an American flag for 10 years, and when that finished, I had no idea what I’d do afterward. And that’s the way I like it.”
