California has dry, and often hot weather conditions from spring through late autumn that can produce moderate to devastating wildfires. 

At times, these wildfires are fanned by strong, dry winds, Diablo winds occur in the northern part of the state and Santa Ana winds in the south. 

Wildfires in California are growing more dangerous as people build in rural burn areas. 

United States taxpayers pay about US$3 billion a year to fight wildfires, in addition to billions of dollars in property losses. 

With the threat of cutting  tax payers fund to this endless problem, a new look at the solution will be achieved.

Lu Yushan, a retired salesman, has advice for investors in China's slumping stock market: Sell. Lu's shares soared over the past decade. But the 65-year-old, driven away by plunging prices, insider trading scandals, a cooling economy and a tariff war with Washington.  "Investors should get out."  

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index sank 30 percent from January through mid-October. Prices fell so far that China  as No. 2 market by share value dropped to third place behind Japan.  

The slump adds to challenges for communist leaders as they try to shore up economic growth and carry on a tariff war with President Donald Trump over Beijing's technology policy. It also puts a kink in plans for state industry to use share sales to pay down a multibillion-dollar mountain of debt and modernize.

China must stop theft of intellectual property, balance fair trade, and reduce the hostility and military buildup in the South China Sea.

Famine...

The U.S. military will no longer provide midair refueling for the Saudi-led coalition's warplanes fighting in Yemen. The end of midair refueling removes the support for the coalition, especially in light of international criticism of its targeting civilians.

The change came after growing pressure from Congress to end U.S. support for Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen's government in their battle with rebels, known as the Houthis, that has stretched for nearly four years, killing at least 16,200 civilians and bringing 14 million people to the brink of famine.

It also comes as the U.S. has joined a push for a cessation of hostilities in Yemen and diplomatic efforts by the United Nations Special Envoy Martin Griffiths to bring the warring parties to the table for talks by the month's end. 

So why did we do that for four years, any reason?

Pleasure...

There's a new incentive to doing good things for others: It makes you happier.

Michael Steger, a psychologist at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, has always been amazed by how differently people lead their lives.  

Steger couldn’t help but wonder which behavior makes people happier—seeking pleasure or doing good? 

The more people participated in meaningful activities, the happier they were and the more purposeful their lives felt. Pleasure-seeking behaviors, on the other hand, did not make people happier.

Vacuum

“The clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day. Housework is also annoying because, and it’s highly likely that the woman end up doing most of it, no matter who earns more, or who spends longer at the office.

Pushing...

This is me and my husband BUT it's always him pushing me off the bed. 
It’s worth experimenting until you find the right combination of bedroom environment and nighttime habits that best helps you sleep. Imagine how much better you’ll feel with a full night’s rest—every night!

Missing...

The Mandarin duck that has caused crowds of people from around the world to flock to Central Park has made its grand return after a brief disappearance.

The duck, native to Asia, was first spotted in the Central Park Pond at 60th Street and 5th Avenue on Oct. 10. Tourists and New Yorkers alike couldn't resist the urge to see the bird for themselves and headed to the park in search of the rare bird. 

Years...

Hang on...

Issues that hinder the right connection.

• You’re too picky and demand conformity to some perfect ideal
• You’re emotionally unavailable and dissociated
•  You’re distrustful.
• You’re unfriendly.
• Financial standing.

Visual...

The literature studying men’s arousal patterns has repeatedly emphasized their sensitivity to visual cues. As soon as the inspiring image registers in their brain, they become turned-on—not only physically but also psychologically.

Frustrated women have frequently (and cynically) complained about men’s brains and visual interests instead of harvest it . As a result, every time a beautiful woman appears somewhere, the gloves come off.
