Cali..

Since the early 2010s, wildfires in California are growing more dangerous because of the accumulation of wood fuel in forests, higher population, and aging and often poorly maintained electricity transmission and distribution lines.

United States taxpayers pay about US$3 billion a year to fight wildfires, and big fires can lead to billions of dollars in property losses.^[9] 

At times, these wildfires are fanned or made worse by strong, dry winds, known as Diablo winds when they occur in the northern part of the state and Santa Ana winds when they occur in the south. 

The much larger wildfire seasons in the past can be attributed to the policy of Native Californians regularly setting controlled burns and allowing natural fires to run their course, which prevented devastating wildfires from overrunning the state.^[10] 

There are conservation issues that aren't allowing as many controlled burns necessary to lessen the damage for when a wildfire starts.^[

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday that Democrats were open to President-elect Donald Trump 's idea of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America."

However, he noted that he'd only do so if Trump works with Democrats on "an actual plan to lower costs for Americans."

"That is what the American people want us to focus on first, not on renaming bodies of water," Schumer said in a floor speech, adding that his party's priorities "are so much more closely aligned with the concerns of the American people than Donald Trump's seem to be

French President Emmanuel Macron extended an olive branch to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, declaring that France is “a solid ally” as he outlined his vision for global diplomacy in 2025 during his New Year’s address to French ambassadors.

Addressing the grinding war in Ukraine, Macron stressed the need for “realistic discussions on territorial questions,” adding, “such negotiations can only be conducted by Ukrainians themselves.”

He called on the United States to “help change the nature of the situation and convince Russia to come to the negotiating table,” while underscoring Europe’s pivotal role. 

“The Europeans will have to construct security guarantees for Ukraine, which will be primarily their responsibility,” he said.

Comment: Biden's administration just poured weapons and sanctions on Russia that impacted the world negatively. 

Now it is a new Trump "world for peace" to achieve.  Just a thought.

The Washington Post reports that employees from DOGE, which will be headed by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, are already beginning to interview federal employees as part of their plan to decrease the size of the federal government. DOGE has interviewed workers at the Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, and the departments of Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services.

Musk and Ramaswamy already have 50 employees working out of the Washington, D.C., offices of Musk’s rocket company, SpaceX, according to the Post, with plans to have 100 people in place by January 20, when Trump is sworn in as president.

الفاصوليا والعدس

 

  يؤدي تناول المزيد من البروتينات النباتية ، مثل الفاصوليا والعدس والتوفو والمكسرات ، بدلا من الاعتماد فقط على البروتينات

 الحيوانية مثل اللحوم ، إلى تحسين الصحة من خلال توفير المزيد من الألياف ، وتقليل تناول الدهون المشبعة ، وتقليل مخاطر الإصابة بالأمراض المزمنة مثل أمراض القلب والسكري. مما يجعله تغييرا جيدا في النظام الغذائي. 

تمتلئ البروتينات النباتية بالألياف التي تساعد على الهضم والتحكم في نسبة السكر في الدم والشعور بالشبع. 

بالمقارنة مع معظم البروتينات الحيوانية ، تميل الخيارات النباتية إلى تقليل الدهون المشبعة ، والتي ترتبط بمخاوف صحة القلب. 

Shift..

 

Eating more plant-based proteins, like beans, lentils, tofu, and nuts, instead of solely relying on animal-based proteins like meat, can potentially improve your health by providing more fiber, lowering saturated fat intake, and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes; making it a good dietary change to consider. 

• Plant proteins are often packed with fiber, which can help with digestion, blood sugar control, and feeling full. 

  
  
• Compared to most animal proteins, plant-based options tend to have less saturated fat, which is linked to heart health concerns. 

  
  
• Many plant foods like beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, nuts, seeds, and quinoa are excellent sources of protein. 

  
  
• Shifting towards plant-based protein can have a positive impact on the environment due to lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with plant-based agriculture.
