Names like hot moon refer to summer weather while terms like raspberry moon and ripe corn moon signify the best times for harvesting fruit and other crops. There will be two supermoons in August, including a blue moon, which will be the closest moon to Earth this year, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. Here are the full moons remaining in 2023, according to the Farmer’s Almanac:● August 1: Sturgeon moon● August 30: Blue moon● September 29: Harvest moon● October 28: Hunter’s moon● November 27: Beaver moon● December 26: Cold moonLunar and solar eclipsesPeople across North, Central and South America will be able to see an annular solar eclipse on October 14.

The primary objections, he said, were that organic farming cost more and required far more tractor use, which caused a different set of environmental problems. He wondered whether an electric tractor could overcome the objections. Mr. Mondavi’s role in the development was to offer the farmer’s point of view, assessing each design idea for its practical appeal. “This is the hardest work I’ve ever done — seven days a week, day and night,” he said. He described the frequent air travel as both “one of my greatest pleasures and greatest guilts.”

Referring to the opening line of the Polish national anthem, he added: “It’s over. Warsaw’s City Hall, which is controlled by political foes of the government, put the turnout at half a million. That was almost certainly an exaggeration but, even accounting for inflated numbers, the march on Sunday appeared to be the biggest antigovernment demonstration since street protests in the 1980s in support of Solidarity. TVP Info, a state-controlled news channel, reported that only 100,000 people had taken part at most and focused its minimal coverage of the march on obscenities voiced by some protesters, a tactic often used by pro-government news outlets to portray critics of Law and Justice as foul-mouthed infidels opposed to the Roman Catholic Church. As huge crowds gathered on Sunday afternoon, TVP Info led its news bulletin with a report on the “National Parade of Farmer’s Housewives’ Circles,” a modestly attended event organized by the Ministry of Agriculture.

CNN —The strawberry moon will light up the night sky this weekend. The strawberry full moon isn’t your last chance to catch a cool celestial event this year. Here are the full moons remaining in 2023, according to the Farmer’s Almanac:● July 3: Buck moon● August 1: Sturgeon moon● August 30: Blue moon● September 29: Harvest moon● October 28: Hunter’s moon● November 27: Beaver moon● December 26: Cold moonLunar and solar eclipsesAn annular solar eclipse will occur on October 14 and be visible for people across North, Central and South America. This is when the moon passes between the sun and Earth at or near its farthest point from Earth — making the moon appear smaller than the sun and creating a glowing ring around the moon. In this type of event, the sun, Earth and moon don’t completely align, so only part of the moon passes into shadow.

☆ Caged and cut open for bile: The fight to free Asia’s farmed bears

But international experts say it remains a lucrative industry in China, where domestic sales of bear bile remain legal. “They’ve got massive hair loss, they’ve often got broken teeth from (biting the bars of their cages) in frustration and pain.”But eliminating bile farming has proved difficult. But China is “the biggest market for bear bile products by far,” with roughly 15,000 bile bears in captivity and plenty of demand, he said. Ursodeoxycholic acid, one of the main components in bear bile, has been medically proven to help dissolve gallstones and treat liver disease. And there’s no internationally recognized scientific evidence showing bear bile can cure other ailments promoted in TCM.

Since New Year’s, storm after storm had pummeled the state, dropping epic quantities of water and snow. Houses and farms and dairies flooded, and people were using excavators to hastily build earthen dikes around their properties. In a valley where powerful interests had long jockeyed for access to water, the arguments were now about who would bear the flood. A froth of brown storm water started to spread toward the houses. Had someone intentionally cut the levee, jeopardizing Allensworth, not to mention someone else’s farm, to save his own?

Jell-O GirlEarly Jell-O advertising depicted women as inept, needing the help of a simple recipe like Jell-O. Jell-O released flavors such as seasoned tomato, celery, mixed vegetable and Italian salad, and Jell-O salads were a colorful way to use leftovers in side dishes.

CNN —Known as some of the fastest meteors around, the Leonids blaze across the night sky annually during the month of November. Historically, they are considered to be one of the most impressive meteor showers on record, largely due to the meteor storm they form roughly every 33 years, causing thousands of meteors to rain down in the night sky. On Thursday night, the shower is expected to peak at 7 p.m. The Leonid meteor shower is active through December 2, alongside the tail end of the North Taurid meteor shower. Around their peak, sky gazers could potentially observe 10 to 15 meteors per hour.

After giving birth to a baby girl in 2019 and spending months at home, Ms. Price was eager to return to work, but then the Covid-19 pandemic canceled all of her shows. “I felt like all the momentum I was gaining just came to a complete halt,” she recalls over the phone while on tour in Park City, Utah. “I thought, well, it was a good run.”Ms. Price admits that things then got a little dark. Stuck at home near Nashville, Tenn., with her husband, guitarist Jeremy Ivey, and their children, who are now 12 and 3, without concerts or child care or much socializing of any kind, she says her days felt rudderless. The monotony was punctuated only by the drinks she had after putting the kids down at night and the hangovers she nursed the next day.
