The work will involve cutting and falling fire-killed and damaged trees along 250 miles of important access routes within the 2020 fire-affected road system. Moderate, high, or mixed tree mortality trees likely to survive the effects of fire or don't threaten the road...
A new study published in Nature Energy found that electricity customers often lack awareness of their daily energy-use patterns at home, which could have a serious financial impact as utility companies move toward time-of-use energy pricing models. If utilities change their pricing structures, consumers need to understand how and when they're using electricity so they can make informed decisions about billing choices, the study's authors say. "Energy systems and the grid are undergoing drastic...

It's not clear when William Dunbar and Nat Blum, owners of the Merchant Steamship Co. in Portland, started smuggling opium on their steamships, the Wilmington and the Haytian Republic. They may have been smuggling opium all along; but the astonishing rate at which opium-related disasters started piling up after mid-1892 following at least 18 months of smooth operations suggests that before that, they were only smuggling people. Smuggling opium was not only much more lucrative than smuggling...

I have been in a relationship for two years. Early on, my boyfriend became angry about picking up the tab, even though I offered many times and he turned me down.

My boyfriend drove, as he always turns down my invitation to drive. En route to the party, he glanced down at me programming my phone, and we heard a big bump. The car had hit something. We could...
