Prolonged exposure to or physical exertion in excessive heat can cause heatstroke, according to the Mayo Clinic. Starting Tuesday, cooling centers — indoor, air-conditioned spaces for public use — will be open during the day in New York. At night, because heat can disrupt sleep, 60 to 67 degrees is recommended by the Cleveland Clinic. A technician will typically check for and diagnose issues with the system, clean it and change out the filter. New York Times Cooking has a list of “No-Cook Recipes for a Heat Wave” so you can prep a meal without turning on your stove top.

More than just uncomfortable, the heat can be dangerous and at worst deadly, and it’s only becoming more of a threat with climate change causing rising temperatures. Prolonged exposure to or physical exertion in excessive heat can cause heatstroke, according to the Mayo Clinic. Starting Tuesday, cooling centers — indoor, air-conditioned spaces for public use — will be open during the day in New York. At night, because heat can disrupt sleep, 60 to 67 degrees is recommended by the Cleveland Clinic. It depends on the animal, and its size and type, but pets are generally less tolerant of higher temperatures than humans.

Good morning. This took a lot of gas, a lot of time and a toll on our bodies. So we laughed hard when the only good fishing we had came at the very end of the day, a few boat lengths from the marina, across from Four Sparrow Marsh near Mill Basin, Brooklyn. For dinner that night, and for you this evening: a chaat party, essentially a no-recipe recipe that Priya Krishna adapted from one in the 2020 cookbook “Chaat,” by Maneet Chauhan and Jody Eddy. It also served as a kind of rehearsal for the celebration of Diwali, the Hindu celebration of lights, on Nov. 12.

John Carpenter is the king of Halloween. A lucrative new trilogy of "Halloween" sequels to his 1978 original just wrapped up with "Halloween Ends," which Carpenter helped score and executive produce. But this year, one of Carpenter's more obscure movies, "Prince of Darkness," which teems with insects and metaphysical dread, is having a moment and finding new audiences. The movie's 35th anniversary was just last weekend, in the heart of the peak time for scary movies. That's quite a turnaround for "Prince of Darkness," which critics panned when it was released in 1987.

În jur de 9,5 milioane de doze de vaccin au fost distribuite în SUA, iar 1,9 milioane au fost deja administrate, potrivit datelor comunicate duminică de Centrul pentru Controlul și Prevenția Bolilor din SUA (CDC). Numărul americanilor care au primit prima doză de vaccin a ajuns la 1.944.585 duminică dimineață, arată datele prezentate în timp real de CDC. Deși se află în fața UE, autoritățile americane sunt departe de propria țintă, aceea care presupune vaccinarea a 20 de milioane de persoane în decembrie. Autoritățile americane au autorizat deja două vaccinuri – Pfizer/BioNTech și Moderna – și au început campania de imunizare cu aproape două săptămâni înaintea statelor UE. Primele doze au fost administrate cadrelor medicale și rezidenților din căminele pentru vârstnici, dar guvernul federal nu a identificat cu exactitate unde anume au fost administrate vaccinurile până acum, scrie New York Times.
