Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:56:15 GMT

Billions in new funding for fires, floods, heat waves heading toward California ballot

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:56:15 GMT

Massive forest fires. Deadly floods. Record heat waves. Historic droughts.Over the past decade, California has repeatedly experienced the destructive impacts of climate change — “weather on steroids” — costing billions of dollars in damage and claiming dozens of lives.Now, in what may be the largest environmental measure ever placed on a state ballot in California, lawmakers in Sacramento are drafting a $15 billion “climate bond” for next year’s elections to test whether voters are willing to open their wallets to harden the state’s defenses.Two similar bills are moving forward in the Legislature, with broad support from the Democratic majority and Gov. Gavin Newsom.Both would provide significant new funding to thin forests, boost flood control projects, plant trees to cool cities, expand renewable energy, and take other steps to deal with a climate that scientists say will continue to warm for generations to come.“This is a first-of-its-kin...

Chris Paul has never come off the bench, will he with the Warriors?

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:56:15 GMT

Chris Paul has started every single one of his 1,214 regular season games and 149 playoff games in 18 seasons as an NBA player. His best-suited role with the Golden State Warriors, though, will have him coming off the bench.Strip ego and history away and the logic is simple. The 38-year-old Paul was swapped in for 24-year-old Jordan Poole largely because he can transform the role Poole played over the last two years into something that will make the Warriors more competitive and mistake-free next season.Poole moved from the starting lineup — a stretch in which the Warriors went 18-2 last season — to the bench after Klay Thompson’s return from his Achilles injury in mid-2022 and largely struggled with the second-unit point guard job. Last season, it became clear Poole didn’t fit the role of a second-unit decision-maker and felt more comfortable as a microwave scorer. He often turned the ball over and the second unit made plenty of mistakes throughout the seaso...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:56:15 GMT

Ferdinand Porsche was born in 1875, died in 1951 and in between led a very interesting 75-year life. He created and manufactured the first gas-electric hybrid called the Lohner-Porsche in 1900 and built them until 1905. He attended some college but never completed a formal engineering education. He was a Czechoslovakian citizen until 1934, when either Adolf Hitler or Joseph Goebbels made him a naturalized German citizen.Related ArticlesLocal News | Me & My Car: Martinez man keeping his ’37 Buick in state of ‘arrested decay’ Local News | Me & My Car: 1927 Ford Model T ‘meant to be’ Fremont man’s Local News | Me & My Car: ’57 Chevy 150 could easily become a show model In 1934, Hitler awarded a contract to Porsche to design and build “the people’s car” or Volkswagen.

Trump's “Final Battle”

Former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally at Dayton International Airport on Nov. 7, 2022, in Vandalia, Ohio. Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesSince Donald Trump left the White House, he’s been developing some new material that reached its apogee in a speech he delivered soon after his indictment for mishandling classified documents. Take a listen to this part, as the former president of the United States — and current frontrunner for the 2024 GOP nomination — tells us that “at the end of the day, either the Communists destroy America, or we destroy the Communists.”At another point in the same speech, Trump proclaimed, “This is the final battle. With you at my side … we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the communists.”He’s made similar remarks on many occasions. Here he is haranguing us about the Marxists and communists: Screenshot: The InterceptLast November he was musing about how “the problem we have is that we are headed toward communism. … ...

La revuelta en Rusia terminó, pero persisten las dudas sobre el poder de Putin

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:56:15 GMT

El mayor desafío para el presidente de Rusia, Vladímir Putin, en sus más de dos décadas en el poder se desvaneció después de que el comandante mercenario rebelde que había ordenado a sus tropas que marcharan sobre Moscú alcanzara un súbito acuerdo con el Kremlin para irse al exilio y dispusiera la retirada.Sin embargo, la breve revuelta dejó a la vista las vulnerabilidades en las fuerzas del gobierno ruso, ya que los soldados del Grupo Wagner al mando de Yevgeny Prigozhin llegaron sin oposición hasta la ciudad rusa de Rostov del Don y avanzaron centenares de millas en dirección a Moscú. Las fuerzas armadas rusas se apresuraron a defender la capital rusa.Según el acuerdo que el portavoz del Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, anunció el sábado, Prigozhin se exiliará en la vecina Bielorrusia, que ha apoyado la invasión de Rusia en Ucrania. Los cargos contra Prigozhin de organizar una rebelión armada serán retirados.El gobierno también dijo que no enjuiciará a los combatientes de Wagner que hayan ...

(CNN) — Emilia Clarke estaba encantada de unirse al Universo Cinematográfico Marvel, pero un casi accidente con Samuel L. Jackson casi la hace tambalearse.“Casi le atropello”, reveló la estrella de “Game of Thrones” a Yahoo Entertainment en una entrevista en video publicada este viernes, en referencia a un percance en el rodaje de la nueva serie del MCU “Secret Invasion”.Clarke describió cómo le ordenaron conducir un Lada –que, según explicó, “es como un automóvil ruso muy antiguo”– para una escena de la serie de suspense de ciencia ficción, en la que se suponía que tenía que conducir hasta la cámara, y Jackson, y detenerse en seco.Sin embargo, la transmisión y la palanca de cambios eran confusas, ya que el Lada tenía algo así como seis mandos y 10 pedales, parecido a “un tractor”, explicó Clarke.Sin embargo, la producción iba con retraso y había presión para conseguir la toma, así que Clarke se lanzó.“Me equivo...

Dog saved from Arizona canal, lured by an officer’s sweet snack

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:56:15 GMT

GLENDALE, Ariz. (WSVN) – A German shepherd was found scared and stuck in a canal in Glendale, Arizona. Neighbors called for help when they spotted the dog paddling back and forth trying to find a way out.“As soon as I heard the call I was like well ‘I’m gonna go to it’ because I have like seven or eight leashes in my bag,” said Glendale Police Officer William Downey.When Downey arrived, he said they first tried to call the dog, but then his fellow officer Eric Sorenson jumped in for the rescue.“Eric, he starts getting his vest off, his gun belt off and I’m like ‘I got these leashes, we’ll see if we can leash it,'” Downey said. But the dog was nervous and nothing convinced him to swim to the officer until he was offered a sweet snack. “I’m like, ‘I got muffins in the car my wife’s pumpkin muffins’, so I run over get the muffin, take the paper off of it,” he continued. That pumpkin mu...
