El verano turístico de “locura” en Europa ya comenzó. Y se va a poner mucho peor

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:16:55 GMT

(CNN) — Desde la década de 1970, Steve Perillo, CEO y propietario de tercera generación del operador turístico Perillo Tours, con sede en Nueva Jersey, no había visto un aumento tan grande en los viajeros que reservan viajes a Europa.La empresa, que es más conocida por sus viajes personalizados a Italia, suele vender alrededor del 80% de su capacidad en un año, dice Perillo. En lo que va de 2023, se han reservado aproximadamente el 96% de las 500 salidas anuales del operador, que también incluyen a España y Grecia como destinos, y Perillo espera que esa cifra alcance el 100% en unas pocas semanas, antes de que la compañía comience a comercializar su temporada 2024.Estas mejores amigas de 81 años viajaron por el mundo en 80 díasPara Perillo, los indicios de la exitosa temporada que se avecina comenzaron a aparecer el otoño pasado, cuando la compañía ofreció un descuento del Black Friday de alrededor del 5%. “Deberíamos haber cobrado más por el Black Friday”, bromea. “Fue entonc...

Polis' stance on vetoed bill, property tax proposal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:16:55 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Governor Jared Polis explained his views on a few different bills on "Colorado Point of View" this week.Polis supported a land-use bill that aimed to allow denser housing on land normally zoned for single-family homes. But the bill went through several changes which the governor did not agree with.He said it would have “added additional paperwork cost to real estate transactions. In my opinion, that would have caused upward pressure on the costs for apartments.” Mayor-elect Mike Johnston announces transition team A proposal to lower property tax increases across Colorado has been a heated topic of conversation and is even the subject of a lawsuit. Proposition HH will be voted on this fall but a dozen counties joined Advance Colorado in a lawsuit over the wording of Gov. Jared Polis’ and lawmakers’ proposal.

Are Golden Retriever’s ears cleared for takeoff?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:16:55 GMT

Dear Dr. John,My Golden Retriever is about to turn 14. As you might expect, she has several typical maladies associated with old dog age, including arthritis and weakness in getting up and down, cloudy eyes and reduced vision, poor hearing, and less energy. She is on several medications such as Amlodipine, Trazodone, Meloxicam, and Tresaderm. We used to live in California where she was started on all of these medications. We have been East for over six months, and she is doing OK. She has had chronic ear infections for years and, as a result, developed stenotic ear canals and calcification. My husband was just offered a position back West. Our previous vet told us that flying with the ear calcification could be damaging to her and we want to avoid that. Since she has been on this coast, her ear issues have completely resolved. Do you think we could fly her across the country when we move again?  B.McD.Dear B. McD.,As I review the various medications that you dog is taking, I suspect...

Editorial: Obesity drugs won’t work if they’re unaffordable

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:16:55 GMT

More than 40% of American adults are obese, costing the health-care system $173 billion a year. Related conditions including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers are among the leading causes of preventable death in the U.S. But while drugmakers have developed astonishingly effective medications for weight loss, they’re not covered by Medicare.Should the government help foot the bill?When Medicare’s prescription-drug program was created two decades ago, it was prohibited by law from covering weight-loss drugs, which were seen as largely cosmetic. Congress also worried about health risks after several popular diet pills were taken off the market. The obesity narrative has shifted in recent years to reduce stigma, and newer drugs appear to be safer.The American Medical Association recognized obesity as a disease in 2013.One result is that pressure is now mounting on Congress to allow Medicare to cover weight-loss drugs, such as Novo Nordisk A/S’s Wegovy. Expanding co...
