WATSONVILLE — Cemeteries in the Pajaro Valley are facing a crisis in burial space.Of the Pajaro Valley Public Cemetery District’s five cemeteries, only Valley Public Cemetery in Watsonville has availability for new burials but only for single plots.

Arsenal’s trust in Mikel Arteta paying off, says Klopp

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:09:39 GMT

In a season of so many coaching changes in the Premier League, Jurgen Klopp says Arsenal is a good example of what can happen when a club practices patience.Mikel Arteta takes his first-place team to Liverpool on Sunday as the Gunners try to move a step closer to capturing what would be their first Premier League title since 2004.“I know people are always asking for time for managers. I really think Mikel deserved each minute he got there when it was not going perfectly well,” Liverpool coach Klopp said Friday at a news conference. “In the beginning, maybe the steps were not big enough for some people and stuff like this and now they are (in first place).”Chelsea’s firing of Graham Potter on Sunday was the 13th managerial departure this season — the most in league history. All but one — Potter’s resignation from Brighton — were related to underperformance.Arteta took charge of Arsenal in December 2019 and guided the team to back-to-back eighth-place finishes.The st...

(CNN) — En todo Japón, casi 1,5 millones de personas se han alejado de la sociedad, llevando vidas solitarias en gran medida confinadas dentro de las paredes de su hogar, según una nueva encuesta del gobierno.Estos son los hikikomori de Japón, o recluidos, definidos por el gobierno como personas que han estado aisladas durante al menos seis meses.

(CNN) — Eggs have been laid on land by birds, reptiles, dinosaurs and a few oddball mammals for more than 200 million years.And humans have been using some of these eggs as a nutritious source of food, and their shells as bowls, bottles and jewelry for most of our history on the planet.Though they’ve often been overshadowed by skeletons and bones, fossilized eggshells are a fascinating source of information, illuminating the behavior and diet of ancient creatures, detailing changes in climate and revealing how our prehistoric relatives lived and communicated.This Easter, here are six surprising things eggs have revealed about the past.Dinosaur body temperatureDid dinosaur blood run cold, like a lizard, or warm, like a bird?

Good Friday

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:09:39 GMT

It will be a good Friday, so enjoy the nice sunshine and warmth while we have it. The pattern will change heading into the weekend. If you have Easter egg hunts/activities happening on Sunday, get them done early. We will have morning sunshine followed by afternoon storms developing inland and pushing towards the coast due to steering winds out of the West. We will have nearby fronts and a series of lows to lead into a soggy stretch early next week. However, the timing and extent of how much rain we will get remains uncertain. Model guidance keeps going back and fourth on how much rain we will receive, but certainly trending wetter. The European model maintains a front over South Florida providing for heavier pockets of rain increasing our flood risk. However, the American model places the front to our South with less rain in the forecast until mid-week rolls around. Either way, count on wetter conditions next week.Have a wonderful weekend South Florida and make it a safe one! Vivia...
