Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:23 GMT

DEAR JOAN: We live in the Thousand Oaks area just south of Capitol Auto Mall. Over the past few months, we have seen a couple of coyotes roaming our neighborhood and parks. Recently, we noticed one of them had a tag on its ear. Any idea who would do this and what information we can retrieve from this apparent monitoring?Also, there are two gray foxes living in a neighbor’s backyard and roaming our fences. Will they eventually move on?— Dennis, San JoseDEAR DENNIS: Your visiting coyote might be part of a tagging program conducted by biologists and scientists with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Presidio Trust in San Francisco.In 2015, the Presidio Trust captured 16 coyotes in the park, tagged them, gave them temporary radio collars and released them.

TasteFood: Roasted harissa carrots recipe makes a spectacular dish

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:23 GMT

Carrots deserve our attention. They are more than just a ubiquitous vegetable you hope your kids will eat. Sure, these colorful roots are a blast of nutrients and naturally sweet. They’re a go-to method to ensure we get our daily dose of vitamins. They undeniably play an important supporting role in stews, soups and sauces, or as a colorful flourish to leafy green salads and vegetable medleys. However, carrots are more than just a token flavor agent and accompaniment to a main dish. They are versatile and exciting and can easily be celebrated as the star attraction.This recipe shines the spotlight on the humble carrot. It’s the center of the plate, dusted with a blend of harissa spice, which is a fiery, fragrant North African condiment. Harissa is a mixture of ground and smoked chiles, garlic and spices such as cumin, coriander and caraway seeds. It can be a dry spice blend or a paste. It’s easy to concoct your own blend, as we’ve done below, which you can ma...

At the time, there was no requirement for us to be vaccinated for the COVID-19 virus.A year later, just before our cruise, I received an email titled “COVID-19 Policy Update for Your Upcoming Journey.” It required all guests to be “up to date” with their vaccinations.Christopher Elliott, the Travel Troubleshooter We would have never booked this tour if this requirement had been in place in 2021. Tauck changed the terms of its agreement without our consent.After receiving the COVID-19 policy update, we canceled the tour.

Can you help me?— Daryl DeCrow, Simi Valley, CaliforniaANSWER: If Tauck changed its terms, you should be able to get a full refund. But your story is more complicated ...

Jennifer Grey dice que la ansiedad le impidió retomar su papel en ‘Friends’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:23 GMT

(CNN) — Jennifer Grey reveló que su “mala ansiedad” le impidió volver a interpretar su papel en “Friends”.Aunque al principio estaba entusiasmada, como “fan de la serie”, Grey declaró al sitio web MediaVillage que, cuando llegó el momento de grabar sus escenas, “tenía mucha ansiedad porque no paraban de cambiar el guión”.Grey apareció en la clásica película de 1987 “Dirty Dancing”, que la catapultó a la fama. (Crédito: Emma McIntyre/WireImage/Getty Images)“Es muy difícil ser una estrella invitada, porque no formas parte de ello y estás intentando entenderlo todo”, añadió. “Intentaban averiguar cuál era el personaje, cuál era la escena, y cambiaba, cambiaba y cambiaba. Todo me ponía tan ansiosa que apenas podía hacerlo”.Grey apareció hacia el final de la primera temporada de la serie como Mindy, la dama de honor y mejor amiga de Rachel, que tuvo una aventura y acabó casándose con Barry, el ortod...

For this Black mom, Ralph Yarl could have been her son

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:23 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — On April 13, the nightmare that I’d worried about ever since we moved into our neighborhood came true.That was the day that I learned 16-year-old Ralph Yarl was shot after mistakenly ringing a doorbell at the wrong house while trying to pick up his younger brothers from a playdate. And even as I anguished over what happened to him, one thing kept echoing in my mind: It could have been my child. John, my older son, is 17 and attends the same high school as Ralph. It’s common for me to ask John to pick up his 14-year-old brother Jaden from various extracurricular activities. I’ve been cautious about what I ask John to do and where I ask him to go. I don’t know what might happen if he crosses paths with someone who feels threatened by the color of his skin.That’s because the suburbs of Kansas City north of the Missouri River have long held a reputation of not being the most welcoming to Black families. While I’ve adjusted to the awkward stares and su...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:23 GMT

Staff at Kingston libraries say they’re facing more incidents of violence and harassment at downtown library branches, and say it’s another reason to cancel the upcoming staffless library pilot. Discussions around the pilot began in fall 2021, with a motion to cancel being shot down at council last June.The pilot project will be tried first at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library (KFPL) Pittsburgh Branch, expected to boost operational hours at that branch from 38 to 60-62 per week with patrons accessing unstaffed hours able to call an employee at a downtown branch for assistance.Council approved the $250,000 budget increase needed for upgrades like security cameras, door keypads, and a video phone for customers to call staff.KFPL Board Chair Alan Revill said the pilot has been adopted in response to a community survey that showed the main desire from the public was for improved access to the library, especially in less populated areas of the city.Library workers represe...
