So it pained me to take down the old sugar maple, my arboreal cathedral, one rafter at a time, her demise not from flames but an underground blaze of fungus. The tree was old when we moved to the farm 36 years ago, about the age of this farmhouse we figured, 160 years. And she’s not the only tree stressed on the farm. We watched the old maple die slowly. I saw no Baltimore oriole nest high in her branches as I had the year before, nor did I find on the ground the glossy white and elliptical egg of a mourning dove.

The Waupun, Green Bay and Stanley prisons have been under lockdown for months as the state grapples with deteriorating buildings and a worker shortage. And at Green Bay, only rules related to visitation and recreation time remain suspended. There were two suicides at the Green Bay prison between 2019 and 2022, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. A group of Waupun inmates filed a federal lawsuit in Milwaukee in October alleging that the prison's conditions amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. The prisons in Waupun and Green Bay were both built in the 1800s and need significant physical upgrades.

If you want to rile up a San Francisco native, mention the doom loop. But treating San Francisco as some sort of outlier, a sui generis example of urban decay, is wrong, too. After I washed out back there I washed up on the Embarcadero, a typical San Francisco story. Because here's my one crazy trick to fix San Francisco: homes. To revive the city, San Francisco needs to get back to its freak-flag-flying roots.

But treating San Francisco as some sort of outlier, a sui generis example of urban decay, is wrong, too. After I washed out back there I washed up on the Embarcadero, a typical San Francisco story. Because here's my one crazy trick to fix San Francisco: homes. Paul Chinn/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty ImagesThis is just a matter of good old-fashioned supply and demand. To revive the city, San Francisco needs to get back to its freak-flag-flying roots.

“The magnitude of the flow is unprecedented and unheard of,” said Jorge Duany, director of Florida International University’s Cuba Research Institute. Over 6,000 Cuban migrants were interdicted at sea in 2021 while attempting to cross the Florida straits in makeshift boats. Recent migrants have been staying with relatives until they’re able to find work and a room or efficiency to rent. “It’s basically chaos,” said Angel Leal, an immigration attorney in Miami with a large volume of Cuban clients. But previous waves of Cuban migrants, like those who came in the 1990s during the rafter crisis, also leaned Democratic and then ultimately turned Republican.
Proprietarul unui teren a aflat că acesta ascunde sub el o „comoară” care valorează până la 1 miliard de dolari. Proprietatea Meridan Plains, din Queensland, are pe ea un mare depozit de nisip aluvial, cel mai mare descoperit vreodată în statul australian. Pe terenul de 208 hectare se află o fermă de vaci, dar în urma descoperirii proprietarul l-a scos la vânzare. O „comoară” din ce în ce mai rarăRezervorul descoperit este suficient de mare pentru a furniza nisip în zona de sud-est a statului Queensland pentru următorii 35 de ani. Potrivit lui Rafter, terenul este excelent și pentru o fermă solară.

"When Larry and I started the company, we had to get some hard drives to, you know, store the entire Web," Brin told Wired of Google's early days. AdvertisementEven in the search engine's early days, Brin brought an element of fun and activity to the Googleplex. "They were much better than I expected for a bunch of engineers," he told Edwards. In 2008, he learned that he had a mutation on his LRRK2 gene, a defect that would substantially increase his risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Advertisement"If I felt it was guaranteed to cure Parkinson’s disease, a check for a billion dollars would be the easiest one I have written," Brin told Bloomberg.
