Millions of dead fish wash up amid Australian heat wave

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:18:45 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Millions of fish have washed up dead in southeastern Australia in a die-off that authorities and scientists say is caused by depleted oxygen levels in the river after recent floods and hot weather.Residents of the Outback town of Menindee in New South Wales state complained of a terrible smell from the dead fish.“The stink was terrible. I nearly had to put a mask on,” said local nature photographer Geoff Looney. Cohen: Trump will ‘absolutely’ take mugshot, be fingerprinted if arrested “I was worried about my own health. That water right in the top comes down to our pumping station for the town. People north of Menindee say there’s cod and perch floating down the river everywhere,” he said.The Department of Primary Industries said the fish deaths were likely caused by low oxygen levels as floods recede, a situation made worse by fish needing more oxygen because of the warmer weather.In this image from video, dead fish float on the surface of the lower Dar...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Jocelyn, and it's about being in a wedding. Here's her email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime, My name is Jocelyn and I’m a long time fan of the show and wanted to get your opinion on something. So i was asked to be in my friend's wedding party a few months ago and said yes to being a bridesmaid. I had all intentions of doing it until I found out that my parents, in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary, booked a two-week cruise vacation for our entire family as a surprise. They even went so far as to contact my and my sibling's places of work to make sure we could go. So now I have to pull out of my friend's wedding, but it's three weeks away. I will happily do everything leading up to the wedding, like the shower and the bachelorette party, but I can't do the wedding. Am I wrong for picking my family over being a bridesmaid? Some of my other fri...

Ask Amy: Teen daughter must become her own parent

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:18:45 GMT

Dear Amy: I have a very difficult and stressful relationship with my mother, and I don’t know what to do about it.I am now 19 years old.My mother is an addict and an alcoholic, and she missed out on much of my early childhood years because of it.When I was around eight, she finally sobered up, but she still has a multitude of psychological problems, most likely stemming from years of substance abuse, and she never really grew up.She only thought about herself. She hurt me over and over again. She put her maternal duties aside and wasn’t there for me.Finally, I had enough when she missed my high school graduation last year. She then lied to me about why she had missed it (turns out she was at home the whole time).I tried to tell her how much this had hurt me. In response, she cried, engaged in theatrics, pitied herself, and essentially told me that she was giving up on our relationship because she “always messes up.”I begged her to try to change — for me — but it appears she wo...

Bridge: March 20, 2023

Suppose you order out a large pizza, and when the delivery man arrives, he offers you a second large one — plus a complimentary tin of antacid tablets — for a dollar more. Would you accept the offer?Declarer can often take advantage of a two-for-one offer. In today’s deal, North’s jump-raise to three hearts shows game-invitational strength, and South thinks enough of his good trumps, side aces and spade singleton to bid slam. West leads the queen of diamonds, and declarer takes the ace and draws trumps.How should South continue to give himself the best chance for 12 tricks?OVERTRICKSouth can succeed if he wins either a second spade trick or a third club, but he can combine his chances. South should take the K-A of clubs. When the queen falls, he is home (with an overtrick). If instead East-West played low clubs, South could finesse with the queen of spades.The correct play might cost an extra undertrick, but a 50-point investment in making a slam is worthwhil...
