If you’re grilling this summer, board sauce needs to be in your rotation. It’s one of my favorite no-cook sauces to serve with grilled steak — like
Intrepid carefully curated the activists hosts the trip to ensure they could kick-start conversations about the intersectionality and inclusivity of environmentalism, according to Barnes. Although climate change impacts everyone, low-income communities that depend the most on natural resources are hit the hardest, according to"We see more First Nations People, more BIPOC people that are disproportionately impacted by climate change, so wanting to be able to focus on two sides of that coin and have those conversations," Barnes said. These trips hope to shed light on how U.S. national parks are truly for everyone.
For drag queen, environmentalist, and Intrepid partner Pattie Gonia, our national parks were a way for her to not only connect with nature but also with other people. "I started hiking in heels to let my queerness shine, but along the way, I met thousands of park rangers, scientists, advocates, and organizations who opened my eyes to the challenges facing our public lands," Gonia told USA TODAY in a statement."Travel has the power to transform awe into action. When you’re immersed in these incredible landscapes, you don’t just see what’s at stake – you truly feel it."There’s a certain sting that comes with being unintentionally ignored, like waving at someone who doesn’t wave back or saying “hi” and getting silence in return. It’s awkward, it’s humbling, and apparently, it transcends species. Recently, a therapy dog named Macho felt that sting when his best friend, a
named Sven, walked right past him without so much as a glance. The quiet, emotional fallout of their dog friendship that followed was all caught on video, and it left the internet torn between laughter and a collective “aww.”Macho recently became an internet favorite after his owner shared a touching video of him looking visibly downcast when his canine friend Sven failed to notice him. The clip shows Macho standing quietly by the yard fence, his eyes scanning the area as if hoping Sven would turn around and greet him like he normally does.
Through onscreen captions, the dog’s owner adds a playful commentary, explaining that Sven simply walked around the corner without acknowledging Macho this time. The text humorously suggests that Macho’s brain is “dealing with the trauma of his friend not noticing him.” To add to the charm, a thought bubble pops up over Macho’s head in the video, reading “contemplating his dog friendships,” giving a lighthearted look into what might be going on in his mind.
According to his owner, Macho rarely barks or makes a fuss, which means his quiet presence often goes unnoticed. That moment of being ignored clearly weighed on him, as the video shows Macho later sitting on the front porch, looking thoughtful and a little sad.(Reuters) -Pediatric infectious disease expert Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos of the U.S. CDC resigned on Tuesday as co-leader of a working group that advises outside experts on COVID-19 vaccines and is leaving the agency, two sources familiar with the move told Reuters.
Panagiotakopoulos said in an email to work group colleagues that her decision to step down was based on the belief she is "no longer able to help the most vulnerable members" of the U.S. population.In her role at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's working group of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, she co-led the gathering of information on topics for presentation.
Her resignation comes one week after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a long-time vaccine skeptic who oversees the CDC, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health, said the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women had been removed from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule.The move was a departure from the process in which ACIP experts meet and vote on changes to the immunization schedule or recommendations on who should get vaccines before the agency's director made a final call. The committee had not voted on the changes announced by Kennedy and the CDC does not yet have a permanent director.
