☆ La Huasteca Potosina: This hidden Eden in Mexico won’t stay undiscovered forever
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-08 | by ( Tree Meinch | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +12 min

The remote landscapes of La Huasteca Potosina – part of the larger La Huasteca region spanning multiple states – include vast desert, lush mountains and rainforest nooks with turquoise rivers and waterfalls. Renting a car in the city of San Luis Potosí provides the most flexibility for visitors to chart their own paths through the state’s La Huasteca region. Corazón de Xoconostle and Auténtico San Luis both offer customized excursions from the city. Or maybe a night in the cozy town of Tamasopo on the western edge of La Huasteca Potosina. The city of San Luis Potosi is worth exploring and is a jumping-off point for a trip to La Huasteca to the east.

I gave birth to my son at 22, and I thouht I could still live a carefree, freeing life. I'd leave him in his carrier, sling him over my shoulder like an oversized bag, and take him everywhere. It wasn't until my son turned 2 that I realized I couldn't live the carefree life I wanted. I plan my life around my kids now, but it's only temporaryEvery mom plans her life around her kids; it's nearly impossible not to. But I've gradually realized that while motherhood is for life, this chunk of it — the one where my kids live under my roof — is temporary.

☆ Players Championship: Adam Hadwin hurled his club into the water in disgust. His wife saw the funny side

CNN —Golfer Adam Hadwin had built a superb reputation for staying dry at The Players Championship. On Thursday, the water took its long-awaited revenge by claiming two of his balls – and even a club. Across more than four decades, hundreds of the PGA Tour’s finest players have watched in horror as their tee shot splashed into the lake at TPC Sawgrass’ iconic par-three 17th hole. Yet on all of his 28 previous visits to the penultimate tee at the ‘fifth major’, Canada’s Hadwin had safely found the island green. Ten players had found the lake from the tee during the first round, though New Zealand’s Ryan Fox aced the hole, becoming the 14th golfer in Players history to do so.

AdvertisementIt's the second time in a row that a test launch of a Trident missile by the Royal Navy has had an unhappy ending. These failures have a high price tag, given that each missile costs tens of millions of dollars. AdvertisementThat involves manufacturing costs, missile extension programs, replacement warheads, in-service costs, and personnel salaries. Building the Trident system in the 1980s cost about £21 billion ($26.5 billion) in today's money, according to the Ministry of Defense.

☆ Bond yields will come down from their fever pitch in 2024. How to prepare your portfolio

Expect to work a little harder for those fixed income returns in the new year. As a result, it may be time to start unwinding those big cash positions and adopt a longer-term mentality for fixed income investments. A runup in bond yields is accompanied by a decline in prices, and the two move inversely to one another. The sector "remains well positioned to maintain its high credit quality, driven by solid state credit quality and strong state financial support, despite soft enrollment trends," analyst Kathleen McNamara wrote last week. Consider dollar cost averaging into those longer-dated positions, incrementally building up exposure to intermediate duration bonds.

America is the sixth-most-expensive place in the world to build subways and trolleys. The solutions will cost trillions of dollars and require a pace of building unseen in America since World War II. Perhaps the single most pressing question we face today is: How do we make America build again? "For this class of projects, federal environmental laws are more the exception." The prospect of overhauling our hard-won environmental laws might feel like sacrilege to anyone who cares about the Earth.

Meta's slated to debut its new rival to Twitter — an app called Threads — on July 6. Threads' main advantage is probably the number of people already using Instagram, or a reported two billion monthly active users in 2021.

Inițial, CEC a propus deschiderea a 139 de secții, adăugând ulterior încă 7, în urma protestelor de la Chișinău, dar și de peste hotare. Despre decizia CEC de a deschide doar 146 de secții în afara R. Moldova, Cristina spune că „e o strategie împotriva diasporei”. CEC, pur și simplu, a ignorat legea și bunul simț și a executat o comandă politică. „În caz contrar, ne vom constitui într-un comitet de criză și vom protesta în fața ambasadei și a consulatelor din zonă. O vom face, ca de fiecare dată, cu speranță și demnitate.

Medicii recomandă celor care se confruntă cu această problemă să evite plimbările în parcuri, iar geamurile să fie închise pentru a evita crizele de astm. Iuliana Rotaru în vârstă de 72 de ani spune că, de câțiva ani, sezonul când totul înverzește nu-i aduce bucurie. "Mă mănâncă şi mă ustură ochii, nasul, simt o inflamaţie totală simt foarte mult asupra inimii şi bronhii acţionează. "Este și cazul acestei femei care a depistat că a devenit alergică odată cu înaintarea în vârstă. "De regulă pacienţii fac nas înfundat, rinoree, dificultăţi de respiraţie, la nivel de alergie este afectat tractul respirator", spune medicul Viorica Sorbală.Medicamentele nu stopează boala, ci doar ameliorează simptomele.
