Concerned Women for America (CWA) of North Dakota wants you to know about the state’s online portal resource for expectant mothers and families. CWA of North Dakota leaders and pro-life legislators worked together in the last legislative session to see the North Dakota Health and Human Services develop the life.nd.gov website, which links users to the “Welcome to North Dakota’s Pregnancy and Parenting” portal.

CWA’s CEO and President, Penny Nance, has been encouraging the creation of an online portal at the federal and state level to help mothers and families in need find the resources of pregnancy help centers, adoption services, and other available pregnancy and parenting services. With our state’s  life.nd.gov website, North Dakota provides compassionate care and life-giving support to assist mothers and their babies, and resources are available to them.

To help spread the word about the website, North Dakota Health and Human Services developed a postcard, “Life ND Helps New Parents Take Their First Steps.”

Los Angeles, July 7 The flames from railcars carrying hazardous material have been mostly extinguished one day after a train derailed in the midwestern US state of North Dakota, local media reported.

Foster County Emergency Manager Andrew Kirking was quoted by KFYR Television station on Saturday as saying that firefighters carried out operations from Friday night to Saturday morning at the site of the train derailment near Carrington County, east of Foster County.

Most of the fire has been extinguished, with only occasional flare-ups as railcars were moved, the report said.

Contents of the derailed cars included methanol, anhydrous ammonia and plastic pellets, and air monitoring has consistently shown zero-per cent air contamination in the area, reports Xinhua news agency, citing Kirking.

According to the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services, the train carrying hazardous materials derailed and caught fire early Friday morning with no injuries reported.

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – More federal grants have been announced to support regional technology hubs in Montana and North Dakota.

The Headwaters Tech Hub in Montana will focus on photonics – the science of light manipulation and detection and quantum computing.

The Economic Development Administration provided 41 million dollars to support innovation in those fields.

“I know it is going to create good paying jobs in our state and give Montana’s top-notch entrepreneurs the tools they need to solve the world’s most pressing tech and national security challenges,” said Senator Jon Tester, D-MT.

“Montana is leading the country in tech innovation, which will help us win the race against China, create good-paying jobs here at home and further boost our economy. From optics and photonics to quantum computing, I am grateful to help advance Montana’s ability to contribute even further to the important research, development, and jobs that will help strengthen our national security and help the country stay competitive globally,” said Senator Steve Daines, R-MT.

Around 1.5 million dollars of that amount will go towards the Grand Farm in North Dakota, which partners with the Tech Hub.

The autonomous farm is looking at how photonic sensing systems can work with drones and robotics in the agriculture industry.

“It shows how we continue to leverage more resources as we drive forward and lead the nation in precision agriculture,” said Senator John Hoeven, R-ND.

The designation was awarded to Montana in October 2023 as part of the CHIPS and Science Act, which created 31 “Tech Hubs.”

The Headwaters Tech Hub consists of a 27-member consortium which includes Grand Farm, Montana State University, The University of Montana, John Deere and RDO Equipment.
