CHICAGO, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Cooks may have to put away their oversized platters for serving turkey this Thanksgiving. If a farm has an outbreak, producers must disinfect their barns after culling turkeys and wait about six months before restocking. The National Turkey Federation acknowledged that cooks in some geographic areas could see limited supplies of big turkeys. On the U.S. East Coast, Baldor sees a shortage of the bigger sizes as large Thanksgiving celebrations make a comeback, Lindgren said. Shoppers are resuming traditional purchases of turkeys around 18 pounds, after downsizing their birds for smaller gatherings over the last two years, he said.

Growing up in New Jersey, my father and my mother’s brother had quite a few muscle cars, and by age 6, I was hooked. In particular, I gravitated to Chrysler muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger and the Plymouth Barracuda. I was able to save some money, and the first car I bought, when I was 16, was a 1970 Challenger. But unfortunately because I had a part-time job and school, I was not able to pay for the upkeep.

State law was later changed to require unanimous Board of Pardons approval to recommend commutations for those serving life sentences. In his second term, Wolf has already commuted 47 life sentences, at the urging of the pardons board. “In making clemency decisions, John scrupulously reviewed clemency applications and consulted with corrections officials, prison wardens, judges and DAs.

(CNN) You may have heard of atmospheric rivers impacting the West Coast. Apparently, atmospheric rivers also occur in the eastern US, unleashing a river of moisture like what we will see this week. The reason East Coast atmospheric rivers aren't talked about much isn't because they are rare. The West gets about half that number of atmospheric rivers each year, yet they account for double the annual rainfall percentage. It will combine with the available moisture provided by the atmospheric river we talked about and will result in the perfect setup for severe weather.

Jobs in the sneaker industry are highly coveted, but it's possible to get a foot in the door. In 2010, shortly before he left Nike, Edwards founded what's become Pensole Lewis College. More than 500 Pensole alums work in the industry, including at Nike and its Jordan brand. "It's extremely competitive," said Bimma Williams, a veteran of Nike, Adidas, and Saucony. In 2011, Sean Williams (no relation to Bimma) and Dee Wells of Obsessive Sneaker Disorder launched SOLEcial Studies, an educational program about the sneaker industry for high-school and college students.

America’s relationship to gun ownership is unique, and its gun culture is a global outlier. It is then unsurprising that the US has more deaths from gun violence than any other developed country per capita. A 2019 study published in the British Medical Journal found that US states with more permissive gun laws and greater gun ownership had higher rates of mass shootings. A decade of gun violence, culminating with the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, prompted the Australian government to take action. Many countries around the world have been able to tackle gun violence.

Probele colectate de pe cel mai înalt munte din lume au o mulțime de microplastice prezente, iar cauza este deocamdată controversată. Cea mai mare concentrație a fost găsită în tabăra de bază - 79 de fibre microplastice pe litru de zăpadă - care este un nivel ce dăunează ecosistemelor. Cu toate acestea, acele calități creează, în mare parte, criza globală de mediu pe care o vedem astăzi. Acum există o recunoaștere globală a necesității de a lua măsuri și chiar Nepalul a impus reglementări privind expedițiile pe munte, pentru a încerca să limiteze problemele de mediu create de deșeuri. Acest studiu și cercetările noastre continue subliniază importanța creării unor materialelor care au calitățile materialelor plastice, dar fără moștenire durabilă și dăunătoare”.

(foto) Cel mai vechi mesaj dintr-o sticlă plutitoare pe mare a fost găsit după 108 aniA fost descoperit cel mai vechi mesaj ascuns într-o sticlă plutitoare pe mare. Marianne Winkler, lucrătoare poștală pensionară, a recuperat sticla plutitoare aflându-se pe insula germană Amrum, informează AGERPRES. „Soțul meu a încercat să scoată mesajul din sticlă, dar nu a existat nicio șansă, așa că a trebuit să facem așa cum scria în mesaj”, a relatat pensionara. Personalul Asociației de biologie marină a recunoscut că sticla a fost una dintre cele 1 020 de sticle lansate în Marea Nordului între 1904 și 1906, ca parte a unui proiect pentru a testa puterea curenților marini. Recordul anterior privind găsirea unei sticle cu mesaj aruncate în mare era de 99 de ani de la lansarea sa în apă.
