North Bay residents may see dark, heavy smoke from prescribed fire

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:18 GMT

(KRON) -- Smoke from a 200-acre controlled burn scheduled from Oct. 3-5 in the North Bay is expected to be in full view of populated areas, according to the County of Marin.Residents and travelers in and around Novato or northern San Rafael areas of Lucas Valley, Marinwood, Terra Linda and Santa Venetia can expect to see the smoke released in full view. Commuters along Highway 101 will also be able to see the smoke, officials said. Due to the quantity of dry vegetation, Marin County Fire Chief Jason Weber said that the smoke is expected to be “darker and heavier than usual.”Fire officials are asking the community to refrain from calling 911 if smoke is seen in the controlled burn area around Big Rock Ridge. Traffic may be impacted due to fire engines and fire trucks on area roads before and after the controlled burn. Heavy equipment and a helicopter will also be used during the burn.

Summer heat, recent drought may mute fall foliage

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:18 GMT

With cooler weather expected this weekend, and the calendar flipped to October, many of us might be tempted to check out fall foliage — especially since three leaf-viewing vistas in the D.C. area rank in Yelp’s list of 20 best places in the U.S.Even in the magnificence of Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park and the U.S. National Arboretum, this year’s colors may not be as spectacular as years past, according to 7News First Alert Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff.“We’ve had a fairly dry spate of water, and also a pretty hot stretch late in the summer, so there are some things that can impact the color,” he said.“Shenandoah Valley and out through the Blue Ridge, they’re under a higher drought situation as of late,” van de Graaff said. “They’ve seen some color change, but it’s been more stress-change, where they actually turn brown more quickly, and see early leaf drop.”However, he said “now that we’...

Por sus avanzados estudios sobre los electrones, tres científicos ganan el Nobel de Física

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:18 GMT

Tres científicos ganaron el martes el premio Nobel de Física por estudiar los electrones de los átomos durante las fracciones de segundo más diminutas, un campo que algún día podría contribuir a mejorar los dispositivos electrónicos y los diagnósticos de enfermedades.El premio fue para Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz y Anne L’Huillier por sus estudios sobre las partes diminutas de cada átomo que giran en torno a su núcleo, y que son fundamentales prácticamente para todo: la química, la física, nuestros cuerpos y nuestros aparatos.Los electrones se mueven tan deprisa que aislarlos se escapa de la capacidad humana, pero al observarlos en la fracción de tiempo más pequeña posible —un attosegundo, que corresponde a 0,000000000000000001 segundos—, los científicos ahora tienen una imagen “borrosa” de ellos que abre toda una nueva dimensión de la ciencia, según los expertos. El Nobel de Medicina reconoce a investigadores que abrieron camino a las vacunas contra el COVID-19 ...

Plan now for a dahlia garden next year, and don’t be intimidated

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:18 GMT

I’ve always adored dahlias – in other people’s gardens. As much as their cheerful appearance intrigued me, there was something about the planting, staking, digging up and storing-over-winter routine that intimidated me.But the longer I garden, the more I grow to appreciate their beauty and amenability.For one, they’re available in so many different sizes, colors and even flower shapes that it’s fair to say no two dahlia cultivars are alike. And the choices! There are anemone, cactus, peony, orchid and waterlily types; singles, doubles and even dinner plate dahlias as large as, well, dinner plates. With 42 recognized species and hundreds of hybrids, it’s impossible not to find at least one that will complement your garden.Dahlias bloom in cut-and-come-again fashion, which is to say you can pick bouquets to fill as many vases as you can, and the plants will continue to produce flowers from summer straight through fall.“Dahlias are actually simple to grow,” Lauren Sikorski, co-owner of...

Lionel Messi’s status is still a mystery as Inter Miami prepares for an MLS match at Chicago

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:18 GMT

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Lionel Messi was on the practice field with Inter Miami on Tuesday, though it remains unclear when or if the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will play with the team again this season.Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino declined to provide any timetable regarding Messi when he spoke with reporters before the practice session.The team — which is still trying to make Major League Soccer’s playoffs — plays at Chicago on Wednesday. Messi has been listed as day to day for much of the past month and barely has played in that span.The 36-year-old Messi has missed four of Inter Miami’s last five matches, plus another for Argentina in that span because of what was first called fatigue — by both his club and country — and has evolved from there. The only game he didn’t miss during that stretch was a 37-minute appearance against Toronto on Sept. 20, and he had to leave that match before halftime because of a hamstring issue.Messi made an appearance Mo...

Suella Braverman warns of ‘hurricane of mass migration’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:18 GMT

LONDON — A migration “hurricane” is set to hit the U.K., Home Secretary Suella Braverman warned Tuesday, in a hardline speech warmly received by the Conservative Party faithful.In a wide-ranging speech at the governing Tories’ annual conference in Manchester, Braverman — seen as a standard-bearer of the right of the party and a likely future leadership contender — railed against immigration, identity politics and what she called the “luxury beliefs” of progressives.“The wind of change that carried my own parents across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust compared to the hurricane that is coming,” Braverman — whose parents came to the U.K. from Kenya and Mauritius in the 1960s — said. In an eyebrow-raising trip to Washington last week, Braverman argued that “multiculturalism has failed,” and called for a new international approach to asylum claims. She has previously championed Britain’s plan to deport asylum seeke...

Ukraine accuses Chinese oil and gas firms of sponsoring Russia’s war

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:17:18 GMT

Three Chinese energy giants have been added to Ukraine’s list of businesses that are helping bankroll Russia’s full-scale invasion, in a move Kyiv says will have repercussions for their work in the West.In a statement Tuesday, Ukraine’s National Agency on Corruption Prevention confirmed that China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC Group), China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group) and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) had all been listed as “international sponsors of war.”According to officials, the three state-run companies — China’s largest oil and gas businesses — are actively implementing joint projects alongside their Russian counterparts and help fund Moscow’s military and arms industries “by paying significant taxes” to the state.According to the agency, inclusion on the register will be flagged through compliance systems and discourage firms abroad from working with listed firms.While China has refus...
