However, Superintendent Hannah Nieskens reminded Chadwick that Policy 1085 required a specific chain of command for...

How can you describe your dizziness symptoms? Something so burdensome and so destructive that it can affect your daily function. It may be a feeling of spinning, tilting, or being off balance. Many people describe it as vertigo. With vertigo, most people feel better after not moving their heads. Lying still and not moving your head can delay recovery, as the vestibular system is always in a spontaneous rhythmic motion. When there is no movement associated, systems are not communicating appropriately. Causes of dizziness: Benign paroxysmal...

They look so cute and helpless, but your efforts to help them could harm the animal and reduce its chances of survival. It’s important to understand that wildlife care for their young much differently than humans. One strategy that some species, particularly those typically preyed upon by other animals (deer, rabbits, birds), is to distance themselves from their young for many hours at a time. This helps to keep predators away from their young. For example, fawns are born without a scent, and it is safer for them if their mother, who has a s...
Country cooking is often associated with southern cooking, at least in the United States. Recipes feature no-nonsense meals made of unassuming ingredients that are often locally sourced.
