WHAT'S NEW AT BNN:
Given the release of the movie Avengers: Endgame marks the end of an era in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), mLabs (Mbadika Laboratory) decided to do something very special. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Anulax Batteries are a highly sought-after for their immense power. In our world, ideas and those who create them are as powerful and highly sought-after as Anulax Batteries.Since their debut in that amazing opening scene in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Anulax Batteries have continued to capture not only Baby Groot’s imagination but ours as well. In this Episode, mLab Host Netia McCray will guide you on how to design your own version of an Anulax Battery to symbolize the untapped potential for greatness within yourself to become a Marvel (sorry, we couldn’t resist) in your own right. Through 3D Printing, Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, electronics and some crafting, we will show you how to bring your Anulax Battery to life.Our Field Trip is to the TSN that holds the title of being the world’s first fabrication laboratory (Fab Lab), Boston’s South End Technology Center (SETC) in the South End where we challenge their youth program participants to create their own Anulax Battery. Watch the latest Episode of the MLAB series on BNN - Comcast 9 | RCN 15 | Verizon 1961 | Streaming on bnnmedia.org

The FCC is proposing to redefine what a franchise fee is - and it will radically reduce the level of monetary support available to run PEG access channels across the United States. You can help by petitioning the members of Congress representing you and asking them to oppose the FCC changes.CLICK HERE to contact your representative and senators. Please encourage your colleagues and friends to also take this action in support of BNN and PEG Access Stations across the country.BNN and PEG access channels provide government coverage that allows transparency so citizens can monitor local government actions - something vital to the health of local democracy. They also provide local content in communities that are not served by the broadcast industry and are increasingly under-served by newspapers. Congress should stop the FCC from trying to re-write the 1984 Cable Act to financially starve local communities and our PEG channels in its rule-making (Docket NR 05-311).Additional information on the proposed changes is available at: https://www.natoa.org/documents/Section%20621%20FNPRM%20Summary.pdf
