A quick New Year's note to our community of treasured subscribers and viewers:
Over the next few days, Newsmakers will be moving our operations to the Substack platform from Wix, where we've lived on the web for the past seven years.
As a practical matter, the change will not be disruptive to you: although future posts will look slightly differently visually, you should still receive our newsletters, free and without interruption. However, please add our new email -- sbnewsmakers@gmail.com - to your contacts just to make sure our posts don't end up in your spam or junk folders.
As always, the newsletter will be sent to you at no cost; that said, we would greatly appreciate if you can help us grow our subscriber list by letting a friend of family know about Newsmakers.
For us, Substack provides a more robust and cheaper base and operations, and it also gives us more flexibility to add other voices to Newsmakers as time goes on.
We began providing analysis, commentary and enterprise journalism about Santa Barbara public affairs back in 2014, with the launch of our old "City Desk" show on TVSB. In 2017, we reinvented ourselves as "Newsmakers with Jerry Roberts," and subsequently produced more than 1000 posts and nearly 500 video shows on our website and YouTube channel.
Now, we're again changing things up a bit.
As of next week, when we'll be back with a new post, our masthead will be "SB Newsmakers."
The reason: "Santa Barbara Newsmakers" provides us a broader platform that reflects our plan to recruit an expanded roster of writers to fulfill our mission of providing smart and enterprising journalism about the most important challenges facing our community,
We'll have more to share about that and other new developments in weeks to come.
For now, all best wishes for your celebration of what promises to be a year of challenges and surprises.
As for Newsmakers, our New Year's resolution is to stop procrastinating, and we plan to get to it next week.

mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. mình không tìm hiểu sâu chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục cách sắp xếp جلب الحبيب các mục và trình bày nội جلب الحبيب dung tổng thể. cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các hurentest berlin mục rõ ràng Huren Berlin nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối với mình như vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب

The content provides a good overview for people who are still learning how these platforms work. I liked that the information is presented in a simple and readable manner. It covers practical points that users may want to know before creating an account or exploring different features. The explanations feel useful rather than overly promotional, which makes the information easier to trust and more valuable for everyday readers.

I was searching for something quick to play during breaks and found Drive Mad online. The short levels make it easy to jump in for a few minutes.
"Happy (Let Us Pray) New Year: New Look, New Name and a New Decade for Newsmakers" was a great read, and I liked how clear and grounded the writing felt. This fits well with Dedicated page for Gemini-style watermark removal workflows and image. The remove gemini watermark angle was especially helpful for what I'm working on. Looking forward to reading more like this.
