50 New Chapter Quotes To Encourage Your New Journey in Life

Last Updated on March 3, 2024

Table of Contents

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

School isn’t the only place where you should be learning and growing . The world is filled with hidden gems, untold stories, and amazing sights. It’s normal to feel like you’ve hit a dead end or you’re stuck in a rut. Everyone feels this way at some point in life.

If you’re experiencing something similar, then maybe it’s time to begin a new chapter in life.

When do you need change in your life?

It’s easy to get accustomed to how you’ve always done things, especially if everything is going your way. You have a job that pays fairly well, relationships are exciting, you’re hosting game nights, and you volunteer for an animal shelter on the weekends. Life is good. Why change something that isn’t broken?

Change doesn’t – and shouldn’t – only happen during difficult moments. You don’t need to wait until you dread waking up in the morning to do what you’ve always dreamed of doing.

Think of life as a long ride through the interstate. On occasion, you will need to stop for gas, food, and sleep. But just because a hotel looks and feels homey doesn’t mean you’ll stay there forever. Remember: that’s just your pit stop – it’s NOT your destination.

Many of us are in pit stops in our lives. It feels sweet and comfy because there’s no friction. But ask yourself: is this really where you want to be, or is this merely a brief rest? Maybe you have dreams that now lay dormant at the back of your mind. Was there a goal that had to be set aside because of responsibilities?

Perhaps it’s time you got back on the road of life.

What to do when change feels scary

Human brains will prefer tried-and-tested routine over the unpredictable – that’s why change seems scary . However, the brain is also flexible and adaptable. Give it a challenge and once it overcomes the obstacles, it’s all a matter of getting into the habit so it comes as second nature.

Fear is often based on real and imagined events. For instance, you want to move on from a toxic job or relationship but have a hard time doing so. It could be due to:

• negative self-talk;
• angst about the future ( e. what do I do now, where do I go from here, etc .);
• lack of support from friends and/or family;
• doubts about your own capabilities; and
• replaying bad or worst case scenarios in your head.

So what do you do when taking the first step feels impossible? Pause, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and believe that life is still full of choices . It doesn’t matter how many times you messed up, how old you are, or where you came from . Change happens the second you decide it is, even if you’re not fully ready.

Take small steps. Start with breakfast. Don’t have the usual bacon and eggs; why not try muesli or blueberry pancakes? Read something new, perhaps a blog or a book you’ve been meaning to but was too busy to pick up. Watch a movie you’d never think about seeing because it’s not your taste.

Focus on what you can control. You’re on the driver’s seat and the destination is yet to be decided.

Inspirational Quotes for a New Chapter in Your Life

New beginnings are always scary. It’s scary to find another job , to move to a different place, to make new friends, write a novel, or travel far. But often, when you think about it, the benefits outweigh the negatives. You just need to take the first step.

Noisy Neighbors Send Cute Note In Reply to Woman's Complaint

When it comes to neighbors you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes you hit the neighbor lottery and get someone who barely makes a sound.

Other times, however, you get stuck with THAT neighbor: the one who blasts death metal at 3 AM or has a dog that WON'T.STOP.BARKING. Or, in this case, has kids who think practicing piano before the sun rises is a good idea (it's not).

When London-based content creator Martina Panchetti's neighbors decided that the road to becoming famous concert pianists involved early morning practices she'd had just about all she could take. Wanting to avoid an uncomfortable confrontation, she wrote them a polite note to complain.

She wasn't prepared for their response.

The Neighbors "Sweet" Response

@maartinapanchetti On our way to cook some Italian sweets for them 🥹 #london #neighbours #livinginlondon

In a TikTok video that has gone viral with over 10 million views, Martina shares that she and her flatmates sent a letter to their neighbors asking them to keep it down in the mornings.

"We sent a letter to our neighbours politely asking to make less noise and possibly avoid playing piano too early in the morning," Martina wrote in the text overlay, noting she lives next to a family with kids. "This is how they replied..."

She then gave her viewers a sneak peek of the card she received in response.

Inside an envelope sealed with a smiley face was a card that read:

"Dear neighbours, Thank you for your kind message. We realise that sometimes we can be noisy and naughty."

Obviously written by the pint-sized offenders themselves, the kids explained that they had started learning piano "and our teachers tell us to practice every day." However, they recognized that they should have been more considerate about "considering the times of the day and the weekends" and "sincerely" apologized.

The kids also admitted Martina isn't the only one who is less than thrilled with their early morning concertos. So is their mom.

"To be honest, mommy has been telling us not to play in the mornings and she also wants to get some sleep on the weekends. We promise YOU and we promise our mommy to try to be more considerate."

To "sweeten" their apology, the kids also sent along a couple of their national treats — Azerbaijani Pakhlava, a pastry layered with nuts and syrup, and Shekerbura, a sweet pastry filled with ground nuts and sugar. (Because nothing says "I'm sorry" like delicious desserts).

"We're in tears," Martina ended the clip, mock crying and covering her face.

More than 727,000 have loved the post with nearly 2,000 commenters weighing in.

"It’s actually mental how much your mindset changes when your neighbours become people to us and not just noise! I have this with my stompy yet lovely upstairs fella 😅," wrote one.

Another joked, “Right then, you now owe them your life.”

"This would make me wanna put together a sorry basket for them 😂😂😂," said a third.

Follow-Up TikTok

@maartinapanchetti Replying to @Kelsey part 2 of the neighbours affair 😂

Not everyone appreciated Martina's handling of the situation, however. Some commenters took issue with her for complaining in the first place.

"Whats new 😳 a karen complaining about some noise 😏," wrote one commenter.

It prompted Martina to post a follow-up TikTok .

She began the clip, saying: "For all the people saying that I am the bad neighbor for complaining about kids making noise, our letter was very polite, very friendly, we weren't complaining about noise in general — it was specifically towards piano playing, early in the morning, at weekends."

She explained that she chose to write a note rather than confront them in person because she felt it was the best way to handle an "awkward situation." She didn't want the family to feel "ambushed" and wanted to give them a chance to respond in their own time.

She also explained that she and her friends actually enjoy hearing their neighbors practicing piano...just not at the crack of dawn. "It's relaxing," she said.

And, it turns out, their neighbors aren't the only ones who know their way around a good pastry.

Martina and her flatmates returned the treats with some treats of their own, gifting the neighbors with a box of Zeppola di San Giuseppe - an Italian sweet traditionally made for Father's Day.

Additionally, they decorated the box with cute drawings and wrote another note.

"Thank you for your lovely note and for sharing with us your traditional sweets. We all loved them, super tasty!" they wrote, adding, "P.S. Keep up the practising, we can hear the progress."

But it didn't end there...

One Note Turns Into An "Endless Exchange"

Martina Panchetti and her roommates receive sushi from their neighbors.

TikTok/@maartinapanchetti

Later that evening while Martina was out for dinner with her boyfriend, she received a message from her roommates on a group chat.

"The neighbors just sent us some sushi," she said, sharing a photo and laughing.

Instead of getting angry with the neighbors for being too noisy, Martina and her flatmates decided to go the kindness route, sharing their concerns politely and respectfully.

It's obviously paid off. Tag, you're it, Martina!

11-Year-Old Raises $7K To Pay Off Entire School's Lunch Debt

"There's no such thing as a free lunch!" Unless you happen to be a student at Thomas Ultican Elementary School in Blue Springs, Missouri.

And then...Bon Appétit!

Because an 11-year-old student at the school just single-handedly raised $7,300 to pay off his entire school's lunch debt...and then some, giving the leftovers to the local high school to pay down their debt too.

Why a Fifth-Grader Decided to Pay Off His School's Lunch Debt

Daken Kramer may only be 11 years old but he's already quite the philanthropist. It was his last year at Thomas Ultican Elementary (TUE) and the soon-to-be middle schooler just wanted to say "thank you."

Knowing that TUE has a high number of students who come from economically challenged homes, he decided to tackle the problem head-on.

According to the Blue Springs School District , a lunch costs $2.55 – with a 40-cent reduction for students in need. But even with the reduction, it is still too big a financial burden for some families.

So, wanting to reduce their stress, he started a fundraiser called “Daken Feeds TUE” to clear the lunch debt books.

Daken took to social media to spread the word, posting a video on his mother's Facebook page .

"TUE has shaped me into an outgoing, kind, compassionate, respectful, strong leader," he said.

"While I can never repay this school for all of the hard work that has gone into my education and my well-being, I would like to do something to show my gratitude."

"A lot of kids at school already benefit from reduced lunches and some are still not able to pay their lunch debt. Please consider helping these families relieve one stress from their lives." Daken Kramer via Facebook

Turns out, he's not just a really kind kid, he's a pretty darn persuasive salesperson as well.

His original goal was $3,500 —a little more than the total outstanding bill — but when word got out, donations came pouring in.

Within two weeks, he'd already doubled it. In the end he raised an impressive $7,370.

For Daken's mom, Vanessa Kramer, her son's initiative had significant meaning. As a child who grew up with a single mom, she knows the struggle of food insecurity.

"Doing research for this fundraiser has brought a lot of sad memories up for me," she wrote in a Facebook post . "I was a kid who could have benefited from the free/reduced lunch program since I was being raised by a single mother...There were plenty of times where I had to get a PB&J instead."

Paying It Forward

Missouri fifth grade student Daken Kramer, 11, raises $7,370 to pay off his school's lunch debt.

Daken's actions spurred the school to start a brand-new initiative. It established a legacy award in Daken's honor, to be given to future fifth graders who follow his lead and strive to make a difference.

His teacher, Kristi Haley, announced the "Daken Kramer Legacy Award" at his grade 5 graduation.

“Your selfless actions will impact dozens of students throughout the district,” she said.

“It’s not the amount of money you raised, although that was absolutely incredible. It’s your heart, your drive, your determination and your grit to help others that inspires us.”

Daken was shocked. "It was definitely a surprise. I had no idea that they were going to do that," he said. "And I definitely started to feel a lot of emotions."

Not only did Daken make a huge difference in the lives of his fellow classmates, but his act of kindness will now have a lasting impact long after he has moved on.

One Person Really Can Make a Difference

Daken's fundraiser made a difference in his community but it also shed light on a larger issue — the problem with school lunch debt.

While Daken cleared his school’s meal debt, there's still a lot of debt to go. Blue Springs School District spokesperson, Katie Woolf, told CNN that meal debt totals more than $235,000 in her district alone.

And meal debt is reaching unprecedented heights across the United States. A recent survey from the School Nutrition Association found school districts have more than $17 million in unpaid meal debt.

Hoping to bring wider attention to the issue of school meal debt, Kramer says she and Daken are now working with a Missouri state representative to see if they can take their efforts to the next level.

“I'm trying to teach my kids that if the people who have the power to make a difference won't, it's OK to step up and be that person that will make a difference,” Vanessa said.

Or maybe a new life has been thrust upon you without your full consent, and you're feeling anxious and uncertain about starting over.

New beginnings can be the result of well-laid plans or a life tragedy.

They can be welcome or unwelcome.

But in either case, they are opportunities for growth and positive change.

They stretch us and invite us to live up to our fullest potential — or design a new potential for ourselves.

Taking the first steps toward a new beginning is always daunting.

The fear of the unknown paralyzes even the most adventurous.

For that reason, we’ve put together some thoughtful new beginnings quotes to inspire that first step and remind you that you can do this!

We bet you’ll find at least one with the perfect message for your new start.

What Are Some New Beginnings in Life?

Bible verses about new beginnings, new years new beginnings quotes, how will you use these quotes about new beginnings.

Life is full of starts and stops; each cycle is an opportunity to start fresh. Giving yourself a clean slate is a great way to enhance clarity and move on from past hurdles.  

So what are some “new beginnings” you can celebrate regularly?

• Graduations : Whether it’s kindergarten graduation or one for postdoctoral work, graduations represent the closing of one chapter and the start of a new one. 
• Relationships : All new relationships are a tabula rasa — an opportunity to be your best.
• New Job / Business Venture : Walking into a new job on the first day, or the first day of your business venture, holds a lot of weight. It’s also an opportunity to pack away the past and begin anew.
• Moves : Moving into a new apartment, condo, or house is one of the most beloved — (and time-consuming!) — new beginnings most people experience several times in their lives. There’s just something about a new-to-you place that makes it feel like anything is possible.
• Life Phase Changes: Have you finally reached “the pause?” Or maybe you’ve permanently hung up your college beer mug and bought a minivan. Whichever the case, life-phase changes are important and should be given the reverence they are due. 
• Every Day: Technically, every second is a chance at a new beginning — and so is every day.

Encouraging Words for Kids Starting School  

Back-to-school is a high-emotion time, whether a child is excited to see friends or nervous about changes, and that’s why you can’t go wrong with a few encouraging words for kids. If you know the child is thrilled about going back to school, you can go with an upbeat message that shows you share in their excitement.

• “You’re going to rock 4th grade.”
• “Can’t wait to watch you shine this year!”
• “Another school year, another year of you being amazing.”
• “Happy back-to-school time! Hope this year is the best one yet.”
• “As you head into another year of school, I just want you to know how proud I am of all your hard work.”
• “I can’t believe you’re already a senior! It’s been so fun watching you grow and learn all these years, and I know this year will be a great one.”

If the child is anxious about starting school or entering a new or unexpected phase of school—such as online or hybrid learning, or a school or teacher change—your message could offer friendly support.

• “I’m thinking about you as you start a new school year!”
• “Even though school is different, you’re the same smart kid. You can do this, and I’ll be there to cheer you on.”
• “I know you’ll learn a lot in school this year, but you already have the most important lessons down. You’re kind, caring, thoughtful and just an all-around good person…and that’s something you’ll carry with you long after school is over.”
• “You’re going to kick butt. And when you need a little help, you know I’ve got you.”
• “As you start a new school year, I wanted to let you know I’m so proud of you for always trying your hardest.”
• “A new school year means you’re one step closer to being DONE!”

Friends Continuing Their Education  

Whether they’re leaving home for the first time to head to college far away or living at home and studying nearby, it’s a new beginning to celebrate. Encouraging college students, those in technical programs or anyone receiving a career certification is a great way to set them up for success. Your message could focus on the fact that they’ve made it this far, or you could look ahead.

• “So proud of you for all you’ve done to get here.”
• “Can’t wait to see where you go from here!”
• “(Your college) is so lucky to have you!”
• “We’re going to miss you like crazy, but we know you’re ready for this and you’re going to have the time of your life!”
• “What an exciting new adventure—time to explore who you are and what you’re interested in. You’re going to love it.”
• “The first-day-of-school jitters apply to grown-ups, too. But it’s an excellent excuse to buy shiny new school supplies.”
• “Congratulations as you start a new chapter in life!”
• “Even though you’re headed off to college, remember I’m always here for you and I’m only a phone call or text away.”

Graduation Messages  

Graduation is a time to celebrate new beginnings and a life stage coming to an end. Whether they’re graduating from high school or a college master’s program, they definitely deserve some praise.

• “So impressed with everything you’ve accomplished. Can’t wait to see what you do next!”
• “No matter what you do next, I know you’ll bring your very own unique blend of smarts, courage and heart. Congratulations.”
• “Nothing like a fresh, new certificate to hang on your office wall! Congrats!”

Good Luck Messages for a Big Move  

New home, new city, new surroundings…a big move is a big deal. Your message could show optimism but also let your loved one know that you’re still with them, wherever they are.

• “So excited for you and your new journey!”
• “Everyone here is really going to miss you, but we can’t wait to hear all about your next adventure.”
• “No amount of distance can keep us from texting each other 200 times a day.”
• “No matter how far apart we are, you’ll always have my love and support.”
• “Best of luck with the move—and remember, I’m always a text (phone call, video call, etc.) away.”

Encouraging Words for Empty Nesters  

Becoming an empty nester is bittersweet, and your message can reflect that. Depending on your loved one’s circumstances, you could mention the pride they feel in their child or the fact that they did a great job preparing their child for the real world. You could also look ahead to the fun times they’ll have as an empty nester.

• “As bittersweet as this time might be for you, I hope you know what a great job you’ve done to get to this place. Congratulations on raising such a wonderful child.”
• “The fact that (your child) is so ready to be out in the world is a testament to the incredible parent you are. Good job, (Mama).”
• “Congratulations on moving to the next stage of parenthood! Here’s to all the family memories you’ve made over the years and to all the good times still to come.”
• “Welcome to the Empty Nester Club! Looking forward to sharing memories, kid updates and new adventures with you.”
• “I promise, missing them gets easier. You might even learn to enjoy not tripping over the stuff they leave all over the house.”
• “Yes, it’s weird when they leave. But you’ll get used to the quiet. And the clean bathroom. And not finding empty milk cartons in the fridge.”

Wishing Luck in a New Job  

Big promotion or a new dream job? Time to celebrate! But if someone has been laid off and is taking a new position just to get by, they might not be excited so much as just thankful to have a job. Someone who was transferred to another department or location might be looking forward to the change, but also experiencing sadness over leaving their old role and co-workers.

Basically, approach this one with sensitivity and consider all angles when writing your message. When in doubt, keep your message super simple and just wish them the best.

• “You did it! Congrats on getting your dream job!”
• “What an exciting new opportunity! Can’t wait to hear all about the new job.”
• “You’re seeing what happens when hard work, perseverance and talent finally pay off. So happy for you!”
• “This new job is the start of something great—I just know it! Congratulations.”
• “I’m jealous of your new co-workers because they get to work with YOU! We’re going to miss you around here.”
• “Wishing you the best as you start in your new role.”
• “I’m sorry your career path isn’t leading where you hoped it would. I’m sending good vibes and hoping your new team appreciates the experience and talent you bring with you!”
• “Thinking of you and trusting that this is a stepping-stone along the path to something that makes you truly happy.”
• “With your brains and talent, I just know you’ll make a positive contribution at your new job.”
• “Congratulations on the new job. They’re so lucky to have you!
• “It takes a lot of determination and hard work to start a business. Wishing you nothing but success as you begin this new adventure.”

Retirement  

Retirement is another “new beginning” that can come with mixed emotions. Your message can focus on the positive aspects of the situation and make your loved one feel good about the work they’ve done over the years, as well as look forward to the future.

• “You’ve had a career to be proud of, and now you have a future to get excited about! Congratulations.”
• “What are we going to do without you? Your contributions have been nothing short of incredible, and you will be so missed around here.”
• “You have done so much for others over the years. Now it’s your time—to relax a little, to think back on the difference you’ve made and to do the things you truly enjoy.”

Showing Support When a Relationship Ends  

It’s hard to know what to say to a loved one who’s going through a divorce or the end of any significant relationship, but a caring message can really make a difference here. Your message will depend on how much you know about the relationship, but it’s always a good idea to stay out of any drama and just focus on being supportive. You don’t need to go into detail—a simple message of encouragement will show you’re thinking of them.

• “You’re on my mind and in my heart.”
• “Keeping you close in my thoughts.”
• “I just wanted to let you know you’re on my mind and in my prayers.”
• “I’m thinking of you, and I’m only a text or phone call away.”
• “Whatever you need right now—a listening ear, a pint of ice cream, a bottle of wine—I’m here.”
• “I’d love to help you through this transition any way I can.”
• “Meals, babysitting, helping you pack—you name it, and I’m there.”
• “I’m so sorry you have to experience the pain of divorce, but I’m happy you’re doing what’s right for you.”
• “I know this wasn’t an easy decision to make for your family. Just want you to know I support you.”
• “I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m here for you.”

Supporting Healthy Choices and Life Changes  

Whether someone is making diet and exercise changes for a healthier future, breaking an addiction or making any other positive change, you can be there to cheer them on every step of the way. Your words can help give them confidence to push through any obstacles along the way.

• “You’re making a big change, and that’s a really big deal.”
• “I’m so proud of you for doing what’s right for you!”
• “I’m rooting for you, every day, all the time.”
• “Even when you might not always feel like it, you have the strength to do this!”
• “It takes serious courage to get on this path and stay on it. Good for you.”
• “You have so many people supporting you on this journey, and we’re here the whole way, no matter what.”

Find more encouraging words for different situations.

Coming Out or Transitioning  

Coming out and transitioning are not “one and done” events. These are lifelong journeys, and the experience is different from one person to the next. Your message can show support and confirm that you’ll always be there for them.

• “Coming out is a journey, and I can’t wait to celebrate with you every step of the way.”
• “I’m so excited to call you by your true name. Congratulations on your transition!”
• “I can’t imagine what this is like for you, but I’m here for you in whatever way you need.”
• “Here’s to being unapologetically, perfectly YOU.”

Warm Closings

• Best wishes!
• All the best,
• Congratulations!
• Congratulations and best wishes!
• Keeping you in my thoughts,
• Thinking about you,
• Hope to see you soon,
• Love and prayers,
• All my/our love,
• Lots of love,
• Love always,

No matter what your loved ones are going through, showing your support is always a good idea. We hope these tips have given you something to write or a starting point for crafting your own message. If you get stuck, remember you can’t go wrong with a simple “I’m thinking about you.” And remember: Showing up for a loved one means being there for the new beginning and throughout the journey.

NEW BEGINNINGS SAYINGS & MESSAGES

From small beginnings come great things. – Proverb

And suddenly you know…It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.

Everybody falls sometimes, gotta find the strength to rise from the ashes and make a new beginning.

You can start anew at any given moment. Life is just the passage of time and it’s up to you to pass it as you please. ― Charlotte Eriksson

I love the sweet smell of dawn – our unique daily opportunity to smell time, to smell opportunity – each morning being a new beginning. – Emme Woodhull Bache

Don’t be afraid of new beginnings. Don’t shy away from new people, new energy, new surroundings. Embrace new chances at happiness.

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward. – Steve Maraboli

Dear Lord, I thank You for the Grace of being alive this morning; I thank You for the sleep that has refreshed me; I thank You for the chance to make a new beginning.

The only thing a person can ever really do is keep moving forward. Take that big leap forward without hesitation, without once looking back. Simply forget the past and forge toward the future. – Alyson Noel

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind … let it be something good. – Mac Anderson

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins. – Bob Moawad

How to begin: Rebuilding life from within. Love yourself, unconditionally. Release your bottled up emotions. Make time for long walks, alone. Avoid living beyond your means. Nurture your inner strength. Stop apologizing for being you. Surround yourself with positive people. Embrace your situation, whatever it may be.

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? – Mary Manin Morrissey

There comes a time for healing no matter how broken you are right now; no matter how heavy your heart is right now. There comes a time when you will go outside and let the sun shine on your face and let the wind touch your hair and you will not be tired by just simply being awake. There comes a time when you will be happy to be alive again and that day you will appreciate your own being because now you know the other side. Now you know the opposite. Now you know what it’s like to not be sure if you really are; who you really are; if you simply are, anymore. And that day will be the beginning of everything. ― Charlotte Eriksson

As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

• Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
• Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
• Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

• Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
• Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
• Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
• Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
• Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
• Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
• Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected] .

Vacaville High graduates begin new journey

Celebrating, more than 480 seniors picked up their diplomas during commencement saturday in tom zunino stadium.

The graduation ceremony was about to begin for one of life’s key passages and another — for all of the more than 480 students who picked up their diplomas on the rostrum at the 30-yard line — was also about to begin under gradually clearing skies of cirrus clouds and temperatures in the 70s.

As high school graduation symbolizes entry into adulthood, the grand adventure for many will bring enrollment in college, a trade school, enlistment in the military, an ongoing job, or perhaps “a gap year.”

For top valedictorian Caitlyn Gonzalez and many others wearing the traditional black graduation gowns over clothing, an immediate grand adventure, she said shortly after the 90-minute event ended, would occur later in the day: Grad Nite event at the West Monte Vista Avenue campus. For her individually, however, the 17-year-old Harvard-bound student also planned to study calculus in the afternoon to prepare for a test.

Posing with two classmates for a memento photo, Je’meir Buckner, 19, easily standing more than 6 feet, 4 inches tall, said he was “feeling good” and plans to play football for the College of San Mateo in the fall.

“It’s exciting. I accomplished one of the things I’ve desired in life,” he said, a fanciful lei of folded and pleated dollar bills hanging from his neck.

Like Gonzalez, Vanessa Sittinger, 18, also planned to attend Grad Nite and, in the ceremony’s aftermath, was feeling “amazing.” A cheerleader who also played soccer at VHS, she will enroll at the University of California-Santa Barbara in the fall.

Greeting students as they filed out of the stadium, VHS Principal Adam Wight, noting he had “been with them for six years,” first as seventh graders at Jepson Middle School, where he also served as principal, addressed some of the qualities of the Class of 2014.

“They just kept showing up,” he said. “They wanted to participate.”

In his prepared welcoming remarks to the some 2,000 people — infants to frail seniors, families, relatives and friends of the seniors who packed the bleachers on both sides of the stadium — Wight said, “Commencement ceremonies seek to note just honor the time you have spent in the place you are leaving,” but they “challenge you to look forward to the possibility of where you will go.”

Moments later, referring to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic’s outbreak in March 2020, he said, “We began your high school career in a manner no class had ever done before. But, you know, some say it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish. Despite the unknown of those first days of high school, you each kept coming back, and, today, you cross the finish line.”

Added Wight, standing at the lectern, “Today, I say unequivocally to you, the Class of 2024, that the world needs you. It needs your compassion, your joy, your willingness to see someone’s else’s point of view. It needs your experience, your empathy, but, most of all, it needs you to show up. Day after day. Not for reward or affirmation, but because Bulldogs (the school’s mascot) show up.”

One of two class speakers, senior Ashley Anay Martinez Jimenez, who graduated as a first-generation Mexican-American, said, “Although learning English was tough, I would have to say the most challenging part of it all was leaving Mexico behind and getting used to my new life in the United States.”

Also referring to the pandemic and remote learning that began in her freshman year, she said, “Although starting online wasn’t what I — or any of us — were expecting, I can definitely say we made the most of it.”

Martinez Jimenez added, “My time here at Vaca High has helped me grow as a person and opened doors to so many new experiences and opportunities,” from joining women’s choir, singing at Unity Fair “and even giving this speech right now.”

Then, speaking in Spanish and addressing her parents, she thanked them for the sacrifices they made for her.

Ending her remarks, Martinez Jimenez, looking out at her classmates, said, “Just remember, if you follow your dreams you are capable of anything.”

Co-class speaker Jack Cook said toward the end of his remarks: “Stay late, do the hard work, stick it out when times are tough, and take opportunities when they present themselves. We are capable of incredible things and I can’t wait to see what we will accomplish.”

“You will only ever be in this moment once,” he added, “and it’s a blessing to be able to appreciate the life you’re living right now.”

Just before the school’s 129th commencement began, Vacaville Unified Superintendent Ed Santopadre also noted the graduating class started their high school years amid the pandemic and praised them for persevering through the years of online learning.

Seated among the graduates during the ceremony, Alexis Garcia, a full-time college adviser at VHS, characterized the seniors as “extremely resilient.”

“They’ve been through a lot,” she added. “Things haven’t been easy for them, but they’ve pushed through. It’s a good class. I love them. They’re going to do some really cool things. I just don’t know what.”

The ceremony began with Elgar’s Fanfare and Processional, played by the VHS Symphonic Orchestra and Band led by Andy Herout. Immediately afterward, the orchestra and school choir played and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Choir director Kenna Guy then led the chorus in its rendition of the school’s alma mater, which includes this verse: “Forward ever be our watchword/Conquer and prevail/Always to thee we’ll be faithful/Vaca High, we hail.”

When is Hajj 2024? More about the spiritual journey for Muslims that leads to Eid al-Adha

• Hajj, or pilgrimage, is one of the basic foundations of Muslim beliefs and is one of the five pillars of Islam.
• Hajj takes place in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

With the final month of the Islamic calendar, Dhul Hijjah , on its way, some Muslims will prepare to make their way to Saudi Arabia to perform an obligatory spiritual journey called Hajj, or pilgrimage. 

The month of Dhul Hijjah is anticipated to begin on the night of June 6, with the sighting of the crescent moon. 

So, what is Hajj? When does it start? Here is what to know. 

When is Hajj? 

With the period of Hajj to begin on the eighth day of Dhul Hijjah and end on the twelfth day, it is predicted to start on June 14 and end on June 19, lasting five to six days. 

What is Hajj?

Hajj, or pilgrimage, is one of the basic foundations of Muslim beliefs and is one of the five pillars of Islam, according to Islamic Relief . It takes place at Holy sites in Saudi Arabia. 

The five pillars of Islam include: 

• Profession of faith (Shahadah)
• Prayer (Salah)
• Charity (Zakat)
• Fasting (Sawm)
• Pilgrimage (Hajj)

Hajj is required to be done once in a lifetime, but Muslims have the option to go more than once if they have the means. 

The history of Hajj traces back thousands of years ago to the Prophet Abraham who built the Kaa’ba. Later, Prophet Muhammad began the pilgrimage in 628 CE during Dhul Hijjah. 

What is that Kaa’ba?

The Kaa’ba, known as the ‘Baitullah’ or the House of God, is ultimately a mosque — Muslims do not worship it.

It was built by Prophet Abraham and his son Prophet Ishmael. It was later used by polytheistic Pagan Arabs until Islam came and Prophet Muhammad made it a holy site, initiating the Islamic duty of pilgrimage. 

Today, as Muslims observe their five daily obligatory prayers, they specifically pray in the direction of the Kaa’ba in any part of the world. 

Who goes to Hajj?

Hajj is obligatory, but it is only required for adult Muslims with the financial capacity to travel and who are healthy to perform it, both physically and emotionally. 

Approximately 2-3 million Muslims participate in Hajj every year. Anyone performing Hajj is called a pilgrim. 

Where is Hajj done?

Hajj takes place in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. 

How do Muslims prepare for Hajj? What happens at Hajj?

Hajj is a special, spiritual time for pilgrims, as some of them have spent their lives waiting for this time to come. Many Muslims may have spent years saving money to finally attend Hajj or waiting for a permit from Saudi authorities, according to AP . 

To perform Hajj correctly, pilgrims must follow step-by-step rules to fulfill this journey, according to Islamic Relief . This includes maintaining a state of intention — to please God and fulfill the religious duty — and entering a state of Ihram, or spiritual state, to perform Hajj. 

To maintain a state of Ihram, pilgrims must refrain from wrongdoings, and be mindful of their words and actions. Pilgrims must refrain from smoking, engaging in sexual relations, swearing, shaving hair, and cutting nails. 

Ihram includes wearing the proper clothing for Hajj.

Men wear a two-piece white cloth wrapped around the waist and over the shoulder, and women observe the rules of hijab, which requires the head covering and loose clothing covering the body from head to toe. Footwear must be in the form of sandals. Because Hajj brings unity to the Muslim community, rich and poor, all pilgrims must dress simply without any stitching on the garments. 

Though Ihram is simple, it must be followed and adhered to. 

Next, pilgrims enter Mecca to begin their pilgrimage.

This begins with Tawaf, which is walking around the Kaa’ba counterclockwise seven times. Then, pilgrims will perform S’ai, which is walking or running between the hills of Safa and Marwah, which reenacts the struggle of Prophet Abraham’s wife, Hagar, searching for water for her son, Ishmael. Both of these actions take place in Mecca’s Grand Mosque, known as Masjid al-Haram. 

Permitted to leave a state of Ihram, men will shave their heads while women cut a fingertip’s length lock of hair, then maintain a state of Ihram again. Pilgrims will camp in an area called Mina and later head to Mount Arafat, 12 miles outside central Mecca, on the ninth day of Dhul Hijjah (known as Yawm al-Arafah), where they will stand in supplication and ask God for forgiveness.

Then, pilgrims will travel to Muzdalifa, where they will pick up pebbles to stone the devil in the Valley of Mina, where it is believed that Ibrahim was tempted to neglect God’s command to sacrifice his son. 

When is Eid al-Adha?

Eid al-Adha, the second major holiday for Muslims, translates to ‘Festival of Sacrifice’, as this day commemorates the Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, for God. But God stopped him and sent him a ram to sacrifice instead.

Eid al-Adha will take place during Hajj. It is expected to begin on the night of June 15 and will be celebrated worldwide on June 16.

On this day, Muslims will attend a community prayer in the morning, often in a mosque or Islamic center, donate to those in need, and will spend the day with friends and family, eating and enjoying each other’s company.

Pilgrims attending Hajj will offer Qurbani, which is the sacrifice of a permitted animal, to reflect Ibrahim sacrificing a ram sent to him by God after his willingness to sacrifice his son. Goat, cow, lamb and camel are some of the animals permitted to be sacrificed. It is mandatory for a portion of the meat to be donated to the needy.

Hajj concludes with repeated steps of Tawaf, the stoning of the devil in Mina, and shaving and cutting of the hair once more, which signifies a Muslim’s renewal. 

A more detailed description of these steps can be found on Islamic Relief’s website , which is verified by Islamic scholars. 

What purpose does Hajj serve?

Not only does performing Hajj fulfill one of five religious duties, but it also demonstrates the struggles Prophet Abraham and his family went through in Mecca and serves as a reminder to Muslims of Prophet Abraham’s devotion to God.

The completion of Hajj wipes a Muslim’s sins, builds spirituality, demonstrates submission to God, and brings unity to those in attendance.

Is pilgrimage allowed only during Hajj? 

Hajj, the major pilgrimage, can only be done between the 8th and 12th day during Dhul Hijjah and is to be completed in five to six days. However, there is a minor pilgrimage called Umrah, which in most cases can be completed in a day.

Umrah is not obligatory but is highly encouraged for those who have the financial capacity and are in good health. It has fewer steps than Hajj and can be done at any time of the year.

Embark on the Hunter’s Journey with a new look at Monster Hunter Wilds

Find out how the hunting experience has evolved to connect storyline and gameplay. 

PlayStation fans! We’re back again with another exciting look at Monster Hunter Wilds, coming to PlayStation 5 in 2025. In the trailer just revealed at Summer Game Fest 2024, we’re sharing how we’ve evolved the hunting experience to seamlessly connect the tense storyline and gameplay, resulting in the most immersive and cinematic hunting experience in the series.

If you haven’t yet, take a look at our latest trailer below, which we’re calling “The Hunter’s Journey.” It shares a peek at an intense narrative-driven hunt through the Windward Plains and introduces brand new monsters making their debut in Monster Hunter Wilds.

New Doshaguma artwork revealed

Download the image

Take a look at our newly released artwork! Here we see a hunter encountering a fearsome pack of Doshaguma in the vast Windward Plains, providing a taste of the harsh environments and ferocious monsters you’ll be confronted with in the world of Monster Hunter Wilds.

A new Leviathan slithers into Monster Hunter Wilds

Balahara Leviathan

The Balahara, a leviathan-type monster found in the Windward Plains, makes its debut in Monster Hunter Wilds.

This leviathan uses its serpentine body to slither through the normally impassible jagged landscape with ease. The Balahara secretes a slick substance that allows it to greet any creature unfortunate enough to wander into its territory with a salvo slung from afar.

Ever the cunning predator, the Balahara will often burrow into the smooth desert sand and coil itself in wait, using its flexible body to create a pit of quicksand that will ensnare its prey.

Monstrous Turf Wars

The Forbidden Lands are an unforgiving region–Sparse in resources and plentiful in those competing for them. Violent clashes over territory are an everyday occurrence in the desert and not just between the titans that inhabit it.

In the released footage, a pack of Balahara can be seen attacking a large Doshaguma, and we can see a Chatacabra under attack from a group of small monsters. Yes, even small monsters can be observed defending themselves against larger predators if they feel threatened. Knowledge of this type of behavior can be used to your advantage. Be sure to keep a keen eye on your surroundings so you can act appropriately when the time comes.

Immersive, seamless connection between story and gameplay

The development team is working to craft a story unlike anything seen before in the Monster Hunter series, blending a compelling and intriguing narrative with interesting characters to meet during your journey.

Here’s a glimpse of the story told through a few cutscenes and gameplay segments.

You’ll enter the role of a hunter appointed to the Forbidden Lands Research Commission.

Members of the research commission, including the mysterious boy Nata, embark on an expedition into the Forbidden Lands.

Upon entering the Windward Plains, the research commission encounters a pack of Balahara that call the sandy soil of the Windward Plains home.

In the next shot, we see the Hunter joining up with an unknown man under attack from the Balahara.

As the Balahara attack, we see the action seamlessly flow from cutscenes to gameplay.

Hunters can brandish their weapons while mounted atop their Seikret to deter an approaching pack of predators, or the Seikret can be directed to avoid monsters automatically.

A hunter swallowed by quicksand.

 The Balahara tracks down the hunter and the battle begins.

A mysterious large monster approaches…

The Windward Plains is a locale that showcases a rich and vibrant ecosystem full of monsters, contrasted by the harshness of nature. During your adventures, you’ll discover the mysteries of this land and the monsters that inhabit it.

Amongst these harsh conditions, you’ll need to be wary of the Sandtide, a violent sandstorm rife with lightning. Also in the trailer, there was a scene where a large mysterious monster was attacking a Doshaguma with lightning.

Monster Hunter Wilds promises to deliver the most cinematic and immersive story in the series’s history, where story and gameplay are seamlessly connected. We’ll have plenty more to share with you in the future, so we hope you stay tuned ahead of the game’s launch on PS5 in 2025.

Gaza hostage rescue latest: 210 killed in IDF operation, Hamas says - as it claims some hostages were also killed

Israel announces it has rescued four hostages on Saturday in an operation that took place in Gaza. The Hamas-run health ministry says 210 people have been killed by Israeli operations in the area of the rescue.

• Live reporting by Jess Sharp  and (earlier)  Josephine Franks  

That's all our live coverage on the Israel-Hamas war for today. 

We'll bring you any major updates overnight. 

Al Aqsa hospital is dealing with "back-to-back mass casualties", Doctors Without Borders has said. 

The international organisation, which is also known as MSF, has been helping medical staff in Gaza throughout the conflict with Israel. 

In a series of posts on X, it said there had been "intense bombings by Israeli forces" this morning, leaving the hospital in central Gaza treating an "overwhelming number of severely injured patients".

"It's a nightmare at al Aqsa. There have been back-to-back mass casualties as densely populated areas are bombed," said Samuel Johann, the organisation's coordinator in Gaza.

"It's way beyond what anyone could deal with in a functional hospital, let alone with the scarce resources we have here."

Another member of staff, Chris Hook, said doctors were dealing with patients suffering from multiple major open fractures and several unconscious children. 

As news broke that four Israeli hostages had been rescued from Hamas captivity, an Israel Defence Forces spokesman released a video statement, detailing how they were retrieved. 

Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, spent a total of 246 days trapped in Gaza. 

Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said they were found alive and well as a result of a "his risk, complex mission". 

"This is what we do in Israel - we risk our lives to save the lives of our hostages," he added. 

You can watch his address below... 

At al Aqsa Martyrs hospital in central Gaza has been dealing with waves of injured Palestinians. 

Many have filtered in following strikes carried out by Israel earlier today. 

The Hamas-led government has said at least 210 people were killed during Israel's rescue operation, which saved four hostages from captivity. 

This figure was later confirmed by Dr Khalil Al-Dakran, the spokesman for al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

An Israeli minister has hit back at European Union official Josep Borrell for condemning Israel's rescue operation as a "massacre of civilians". 

Eli Cohen told the EU's high representative for foreign policy that he should be condemning Hamas. 

"Shame on you," he said.

Mr Borrell had earlier posted on X saying: "Reports from Gaza of another massacre of civilians are appalling.

"We condemn this in the strongest terms. The bloodbath must end immediately." 

He also suggested the path to peace was in a three stage plan put forward by US President Joe Biden. 

Under the idea, the first phase would consist of a six-week ceasefire, a withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza and the release of a number of hostage in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

The second phase would see the release of all remaining living hostages and a withdrawal from Gaza by Israeli forces. 

The third phase calls for the start of a major reconstruction of the devastated enclave. 

This is the moment two of the four freed hostages arrived back in Israel. 

Almog Meir Jan can be briefly seen on the right and Andrey Kozlov is on the left. 

The pair touched down in a helicopter after being rescued from Hamas captivity in Nuseirat earlier today. 

Iran appears to have blamed the 200 reported deaths of Palestinians after an Israeli operation to free four hostages on "inaction" by world governments and the United Nations.

According to Reuters, it was not immediately clear whether the hostage rescues and an Israeli air assault were part of the same operation.

Both took place in central Gaza's al-Nuseirat, a densely built-up area.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said: "These horrific and shocking crimes are the result of the inaction of governments and responsible international bodies, including the United Nations Security Council, in the face of eight months of war crimes and violations by the Zionist regime (Israel)."

The number of Palestinians killed was 210, according to Dr Khalil Al-Dakran, spokesman for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah.

A further 400 people have been wounded, the doctor added.

The foreign secretary has echoed the prime minister (see previous post) in saying that the rescue of Israeli hostages will be a "huge relief to their families".

In a statement on X, Lord Cameron has called for a ceasefire agreement to "secure the release of all hostages and end the fighting".

He added: "My thoughts [are] also with [the] families of those still captive, and all the innocent lives affected by the conflict." 

Rishi Sunak has said it is a "huge relief" that four Israeli hostages have been freed.

The prime minister said they had been through an "unimaginable ordeal" and it was "heart-warming to see the pictures of them reunited with their families".

He added on X: "We will continue to strive towards an end to the fighting as well as safety and security for all."

The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah says it has fired Falaq 2 rockets at a military command centre in northern Israel.

A security source said it was the first time the group had used that type of rocket after firing the Falaq 1 on dozens of previous occasions, Reuters reported.

Hezbollah said it was acting in retaliation.

Lebanon's state news agency, NNA, said two people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the outskirts of the southern Lebanese town of Aitaroun. 

The Israeli military said its soldiers identified a Hezbollah militant in the Aitaroun area.

An Israeli aircraft conducted an airstrike that hit the individual, it added.

As Ukraine’s Summer Starts With Blackouts, Worries Over Winter Begin

Recent rolling power outages have raised alarm about what will happen when cold weather arrives and energy consumption goes even higher.

By Constant Méheut and Oleksandra Mykolyshyn

Reporting from Kyiv, Ukraine

Skyscrapers are without electricity up to 12 hours a day. Neighborhoods are filled with the roar of gas generators installed by cafes and restaurants. And at night, streets are plunged into darkness for lack of lighting.

That is the new reality in Ukraine, where the approach of summer has offered no respite for the country’s power grid, but has instead brought a return to the kind of energy crisis experienced during its first winter at war, a year and a half ago.

In recent months, Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s power plants and substations have left the country’s energy infrastructure severely hobbled. To make matters worse, two nuclear power plant units are scheduled for repairs this week, and summer temperatures are expected to prompt people to turn on their air-conditioners.

As a result, the Ukrainian authorities have ordered nationwide rolling blackouts for this week, a more aggressive measure than the regional and irregular power cuts that parts of the country had been experiencing earlier this spring.

Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the head of Ukraine’s national electricity operator, Ukrenergo, said on Sunday that the power shortage facing the country this week would be “in a rather serious volume.”

Ukrenergo said emergency blackouts were applied in seven of Ukraine’s 24 regions on Tuesday.

While power shortages in the summer can leave people uncomfortably hot in dark apartments, they pose a more deadly risk in the winter.

And already, Ukraine’s widespread blackouts have raised concerns about what will happen when the frigid weather arrives, when the use of heating devices increases the load on the energy system. Experts have warned that power plants have suffered too much damage to be repaired before subzero temperatures set in, around December, which could plunge many people into dangerously cold living conditions.

“The situation is even worst than it was last year,” Olena Lapenko, an energy security expert at DiXi Group, a Ukrainian think tank, said in an interview on Monday, referring to the winter of 2022-2023 during which Russia pummeled Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Ms. Lapenko estimated that even with moderate temperatures and no new Russian attacks on the power grid, Ukraine would be short 1.3 gigawatts, during peak consumption hours this summer. That represents about one tenth of the energy consumption during peak hours.

“Can you imagine what’s going to happen in the winter?” Ms. Lapenko asked.

Russia has targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure before. From October 2022 to March 2023, Moscow pounded it with missiles, disabling half the country’s power grid by November 2022. Residents of Kyiv, the capital, sometimes had to rely on flashlights at night and planned for a possible evacuation of the city.

Ukraine survived the assaults, thanks to both newly delivered Western air defense systems and round-the-clock work by engineers to repair vital equipment.

But Russia’s most recent campaign against the power grid, which started in late March, has been more devastating than before because Moscow has improved its tactics, firing larger and more complex missile barrages that Ukraine’s limited air defenses have struggled to intercept .

Energy experts estimate that Ukraine has lost about half its electricity generation capacity since the beginning of the war. Most of the country’s thermal and hydroelectric power plants have been destroyed, which is posing a major problem because they provide the extra generation capacity needed to meet demand during peak consumption periods.

Olha Buslavets, a former Ukrainian energy minister, said last week that Ukraine is now essentially dependent on its nuclear power plants, which supply the bulk of the country’s electricity but cannot meet peak demand.

DiXi Group says there is not enough time to rebuild sufficient generating capacity before winter sets in. Olena Pavlenko, the head of the think tank, said Ukraine needed spare equipment like transformers to rebuild substations. Kyiv is hoping it can get spare parts from decommissioned thermal power plants in Germany, Ms. Pavlenko said.

One way to help address the problem, Ms. Pavlenko added, would be for the authorities to install gas turbine mobile power plants across the country. But that option could take up to a year.

Ukraine, normally a net exporter of electricity, is now importing record amounts from its neighbors, including Romania, Slovakia and Poland. But Mr. Kudrytskyi, the head of Ukrenergo, said the imports are insufficient to offset the power losses.

That has led Ukrainian authorities to impose scheduled blackouts across the country to try to stabilize the grid. DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private electricity company, has published online timetables to let consumers know when their homes will be cut off from power, though additional emergency blackouts are sometimes required.

On Tuesday, several residents of Kyiv said the scheduled power cuts had forced them to reorganize their daily life. Anna Yatsenko, a 37-year-old film producer and the mother of four children, said that as soon as the power comes back on, she uses her electronic devices to cool her home, and iron and wash clothes.

“My husband gets up and recharges power banks,” Ms. Yatsenko said. “You can’t turn on the kettle. It’s a luxury to use a hair dryer.”

Oleksandr Kharchenko, the head of the Kyiv-based Energy Research Center, said during a news conference on Monday that the power grid would not be fully repaired for at least two years.

“We understand that for the next two years, we need to be prepared for daily outages as a norm, not as a critical situation for us,” Mr. Kharchenko said. “Honestly, all we can do is get used to this as the normal state of affairs.”
