Gaza Health Ministry of Health officials say Israeli strikes since then have killed more than 4,650 people in Gaza and wounded 13,000. I felt like there was hope in that idea, so I reached out to see if he'd be willing to talk. I also craved a long view. A historian's take. Because perhaps, with distance, the pain is lessened? It became clear very quickly that historians fix their gaze in the past, but they live with us here, now, in this present moment, and it can be too much to bear.Terribly. My heart is broken. I'm grieving, mourning, angry, bewildered, scared — all of those things.
Which is to say, it is an absolute moral imperative to condemn without equivocation the massacre that took place on October 7th. And it is a moral imperative to attend to the extraordinary suffering that Palestinians in Gaza are now undergoing, and that the two are not exclusive of one another. This round of bloodshed began with a surprise attack by Palestinian fighters from Gaza into Israel during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. On Saturday, militants infiltrated Israel's border using paragliders, motorbikes and boats and fired thousands of rockets toward the country from Gaza.
The department has built about 51 miles of bus lane, Chandler said, but more are in the works with hopes to bring efficiency throughout the city’s public transportation offerings. "It was so popular and there was such a long waiting list for passes to check out that it was expanded immediately," Norton said.
"And so that pass allows you to get in free, but they also now are like, 'Oh, wow, I can go back. I don't need to go to the library and check out a pass all the time.' So that's really exciting," she said.led a team to study the endangered, near-shore mountainous star coral under the Caribbean Sea. The team wanted to understand the coral’s resistance to warmer temperatures and how the trait appeared in their offspring.
The findings contrast commonly held notions among scientists that coral parents with heat tolerance breed the same trait in their offspring. Dean of Academic Affairs Farisa Morales said offering a bachelor’s degree was a logical next step for LAMC, since biotechnology companies are already recruiting students from the school’s certificate program.
The main thing Arora heard back from employers is that they see less turnover when their workers have degrees in the same field.Arora’s students have gone on to work at pharmaceutical companies that make treatments for hemophilia and botulism, as well as companies that do stem cell research. Gov. Gavin Newsom made the state’s community college bachelor program permanent in 2021. Currently, 24 states in the U.S. offer bachelor’s programs.
"We understand that it's not going to be a very easy change for some homeowners," says Daniel Berlant, acting state fire marshal with Cal Fire, the state's firefighting agency."But the science is very simple: even a green, well-maintained plant will catch on fire and it's going to destroy your home."
Both structures are surrounded by bark mulch, green plants and shrubs. But there's a key difference: around one building, the mulch and shrubs are directly next to the walls. On the other, a stone walkway separates them, acting like a buffer. Defensible space can't guarantee a house will survive a wildfire, but experts say surrounding the outside walls with hardscape, like gravel, walkways or patios, can reduce the risk.
"We've been working with builders and industry to flip-flop the idea: put the walkway right next to the home and put the plants on the other side of the walkway so now you've got that five feet of distance," Berlant says. Under the proposal, anyone living in the Chino school district, parent or not, would be able to file a complaint about a book if they believe the content is inappropriate for students.
Bonta wanted the policy to be paused while the case worked its way through the court system, and on Thursday, Judge Michael Sachs granted a preliminary injunction for two parts. As of now, if a student asks to change their pronouns or use different facilities, Chino school staff are not required to tell their parents.
“I know that the board is trying to act and what they think are the best interests of us students, but this policy will do far more harm than good,” she said.Dozens of teachers and staff also expressed their concerns. A group of Associated Chino Teachers , led by their president Brenda Walker, said they are heartbroken just thinking about books being taken out of libraries and classrooms.
The Chino school board is expected to make a final decision and vote on the proposed book policy in November.Synthetic grass usually contains PFAS chemicals that are a known carcinogen, which can interfere with hormones, reproduction, immunity and cause developmental delays in children.Less than a decade ago, then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law prohibiting cities and counties from banning synthetic grass.
“It’s staggering the depth of minutia involved in this product. It’s just a lot of plastic with a lot of chemicals leaching from it,” Woelke said.and allows cities and counties to again ban artificial turf. Some California cities have already begun moving to prohibit fake lawns, including Millbrae in San Mateo County and San Marino in Los Angeles County.
Newsom in vetoing the PFAS chemicals bill wrote that he “strongly” supports the intent of the legislation, but he was concerned that the state was not positioned to ensure its effectiveness. “These molecules are actually entering the food chains in the ocean, and they’re in our system, they’re in our blood, they’re in our muscles,” said Sylvia Earle, a marine life advocate and“We’ve changed the nature of nature through actions that we’ve taken. Now they are coming back to haunt us.”shows that high heat can cause chemicals to leach out of the crumb rubber base of synthetic turf, which is made of recycled tires. These leached chemicals are known to cause cell death in humans.
Hartin said that even though plants require water and maintenance, their cooling benefits and ecosystem benefits go far beyond the water savings one could get through synthetic turf. It’s not the first transformation for the three-block pedestrian mall. In the 1960s, it went from a car-friendly district to a pedestrian-only attraction. In the 1980s, some $10 million were spent on improvements to bring back shoppers and diners. In the 1990s, new commercial chains were settling in, turning the strip into a shopping destination.But boom times ended in the late 2010s, when rising rents kept businesses from renewing leases.
Over the summer, angry business owners pushed the city council to address the growing unhoused issue. One owner draped a sign on his shuttered promenade store declaring, “Santa Monica Is Not Safe,” later changing it to “Santa Methica Is Not Safe.”
