Queen Bee-B is That Girl: Bee-B, the Compton artist formerly known at Brittany B with two Grammy wins under her belt, has released a new video for the song “That Girl.”A low key swinger, the song is an ode to B’s life, and self-improvement. “Sometimes I wish that I could put my pride aside, want to see it from the other side, I was that girl, I didn’t care, about the people that would stop and stare, or would you judge you by the things you wear,” she croons.The video switches between B working in a diner then as a pole dancer, and finally to her spending time with her guy.According to the press release, “Directed by Christopher Felix (Reggie Becton, Mereba, BirdsOfParadise), ‘That Girl’ is a remarkably candid visual anecdote about how to overcome feeling like you’re not enough. In the video, Bee-B hustles by day and dances by night. Letting go of her inhibitions, she transitions from concerned to confident, showing the power beh...

Colorado River deal: What does it mean for California?

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 09:06:26 GMT

After nearly a year of intense negotiations, California, Nevada and Arizona reached a historic agreement today to use less water from the overdrafted Colorado River over the next three years.The states agreed to give up 3 million acre-feet of river water through 2026 — about 13% of the amount it receives. In exchange, farmers and other water users will receive compensation from the federal government.The Biden administration has been pushing the states since last spring to reach an agreement to cut back on Colorado River water deliveries. The three-state deal is a historic step — but it is not final: The U.S. Interior Department must review the proposal. And everything will have to be renegotiated before the end of 2026.In California, the agreement would mostly affect the water supplies of farmers in the Imperial Valley. Coming up with a plan to fairly cut water use has created tensions between farms and cities and between states, especially California and Arizona.Here’s what you ne...

When you adopt a desert tortoise, prepare for a surprisingly social and zippy pet

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 09:06:26 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — They’re not fluffy, they don’t play fetch and they certainly don’t roll over. But there is such a thing as a lap tortoise.What’s more, pet tortoises can wag their tails, will plod on up to greet you and some can even recognize their own names. The surprising warmth of this ancient cold-blooded creature has made them popular pets for families with pet dander allergies and for retirees.After years of living pet-free (save one vicious betta fish), my family and I decided to adopt a captive desert tortoise. Fittingly, it was a slow and steady process.In Arizona where we live, the state runs a captive desert tortoise adoption program. The adoption is free, but requires an application, including photos and a diagram of the tortoise’s new home. We spent hours setting up her habitat in our backyard, digging out rocks, fashioning a burrow and planting tortoise-friendly flowers.Building the habitat takes time. But the tortoise itself is a pretty low-maintenance pet.Tortoises sl...

La pandemia demostró las posibilidades de flexibilizar horarios y un congresista demócrata ha utilizado ese impulso para reintroducir un proyecto de ley que resta 8 horas a ese baremo estándar de trabajo.La propuesta de Mark Takano modificaría la Ley de Normas Justas de Trabajo (FLSA), que estableció en 1938 las reglas sobre el salario mínimo y el pago del tiempo extra, y haría que a partir de las 32 horas la remuneración recibida mejorara, instando así a los empresarios o a pagar más o a contratar a más gente.Solo se aplicaría a los llamados “trabajadores no exentos”, aquellos a los que normalmente se les paga por hora y que reciben un extra a partir de las 40 semanales.
