Huge dog breeds

Hiro Nippa, a contestant at the International All Breed Canine Association's 2021 Desert Sieger International Dog Show held at Brandi Fenton Memorial Park earlier this month, sprays hairspray and fusses with his poodle Sakura’s hair.

Despite its proximity, amateur astrophysicists won’t be able to see it with their telescopes due to the asteroid’s enormous speed as well as distance, which NASA estimates will be thousands of miles. Space experts say 2016 QE45 won’t pose any risk to our planet, unlike 2010RF12, which the European Space Agency (ESA) said has a probability of crashing into earth … [Read more...] about Huge Asteroid the Size of a Cruise Liner to Make Close Approach to Earth This Week

Chris Jenkins , journalist, filmmaker, political strategist, and creator of the documentary  “Trapped: Cash Bail in America,” joins us in a conversation about the state of cash bail in the country, the California Supreme Court saying courts cannot require cash bail payments as a condition of release before trial, how this a step forward but is only part of a huge repressive apparatus that includes financial indebtedness and significant disparities in sentencing, … [Read more...] about Blinken on Human Rights; Cash Bail in America; Multilateralism under Biden
