Washing once a month is unheard of among humans, but it should be the "norm" for dogs to bathe once every four to eight weeks. Research from the pet information website Veterinarians.org shows that over 60 percent of American dog owners use the "sniff test" to determine if their furry friend needs a wash or not . And over half of the 332 participants revealed they wash their pooch less frequently than they should. Newsweek spoke to experts to find out why dogs shouldn't be washed more than once a month, and what can happen to their pet's coat if they are excessively bathed. How Often Should You Wash Your Dog? Newsweek spoke to Dr. Preston Turano, a veterinarian and spokesperson at AKC Pet Insurance to find out how often owners should wash their canines . Turano told Newsweek: "This really depends on the owner, lifestyle of the dog, and breed. Most companion dogs are often in a home and typically only need a bath every couple of months. Working breeds and active … [Read more...] about Why you should never wash your dog more than once a month

As conservatives re-up their criticism of Twitter for supposedly interfering in the 2020 election with its two-day ban on an unverified story about Hunter Biden’s laptop , it’s worth noting that Republican federal election officials already cleared the company of that specific charge. Last Friday night, Twitter CEO Elon Musk released “the Twitter Files,” a behind-the-scenes account of the social media giant’s controversial decision in the run-up to the 2020 election to temporarily restrict circulation of the New York Post ’s unconfirmed report about the contents of a laptop hard drive supposedly belonging to Hunter Biden. The platform reversed its decision in two days . But in that time, Twitter—citing company policy of restricting the spread of “hacked materials”—blocked all sharing of the story, and locked the New York Post out of its account. … [Read more...] about GOP Officials Said Twitter’s Hunter Biden Ban Wasn’t Corrupt

Hoping to build a new bulwark against the flow of illegal drugs from Latin America, the United States is providing the Mexican military with extensive covert intelligence support and training hundreds of its officers to help shape a network of anti-drug troops around the country, United States and Mexican officials say. The officials say the assistance has included training, equipment and advice from the Central Intelligence Agency to establish an elite army intelligence unit that has quietly moved to the forefront of Mexico's anti-drug effort, sometimes ahead of a new civilian police force that the United States is also pledged to support. The effort has proceeded despite growing American concern that it may lead to more serious problems of corruption and human rights in … [Read more...] about DANGEROUS ALLIES: A special report.; U.S. Helps Mexico’s Army Take a Big Anti-Drug Role

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — The process of shaping thick disks of clay into dinner plates takes seconds using a roller tool, a machine on which revolving hunks of clay are pressed into symmetrical circles one by one. After the plates are pressed and travel through a dryer, the edges are deftly hand trimmed as they spin around on a different machine. The pieces are then fired in a kiln, glazed and fired again. These dinner plates , which cost $46 each, are among the ceramics made by East Fork at a factory near downtown Asheville that the company has operated since 2018, roughly 10 years after its founders started the business on a farm about 20 miles outside of the city in 2009. In East Fork’s earlier days, when production was largely reliant on potter’s wheels, output ranged from 80 to 120 pieces a day. At the factory, up to 2,000 ceramics can be made a day using one machine alone. When the potter Alex Matisse, 38, started East Fork with his wife, Connie Matisse, 37, and the potter John … [Read more...] about Shaping the Future of a New American Pottery Company

[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox .] In May 2005, Pedro Flores, a young drug dealer from Chicago, had just arrived in the Mexican mountains for his first official meeting with his boss in the cocaine trade, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the Mexican crime lord known as El Chapo. Mr. Flores had been unnerved during his trip when the small plane he was on landed at a sharply inclined makeshift airstrip. He became terrified when a group of gunmen picked him up and drove him past a chilling sight: a naked man chained to a tree. Yet despite the harrowing journey, Mr. Flores and Mr. Guzmán soon reached an agreement: They would cut out their middleman and work directly with one another. Appearing this week as a witness for the government at Mr. Guzmán’s trial, Mr. Flores spoke at length about that deal, telling jurors that for the next three years he sold nearly 40 tons of the kingpin’s product in the United States, remitting to his boss in Mexico a … [Read more...] about The Meeting in the Mountains That Led to $800 Million in Cash for El Chapo

Even as the Mexican police jet started its descent into Long Island, Joaquín Guzmán Loera had no idea where he was going. All he knew was that hours earlier, he had been whisked from a prison in Ciudad Juárez and put aboard the plane. But as an airport glimmered on the ground outside his window, Mr. Guzmán — shackled, handcuffed and in the care of two American law enforcement agents — anxiously asked where he was being taken, according to a person briefed on the trip. One of the Americans answered him in Spanish. “Bienvenido á New York,” he said. It was nearly two years ago that Mr. Guzmán, the infamous drug lord known as El Chapo, was extradited from Mexico and flown across the border, ending one of the century’s most notorious criminal careers. As the longtime leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, he wore many guises: the savvy smuggler who packed cocaine in cans of jalapeños , the brutal killer said to have shot up a Puerto Vallarta nightclub and the folklore hero who … [Read more...] about Jailbreaks, Submarines, a Gold-Plated AK-47: El Chapo’s Trial Will Tell an Epic Tale

For months, investors and C.E.O.s waited anxiously for China to ease up on its Covid restrictions, which burdened the economy and were out of sync with the rest of the world. Stock markets rallied on mere rumors of policy changes. Companies warned that “zero Covid” was hurting business. Now that China has finally started rolling back its strict mix of mass testing, lockdowns and quarantines, its economy is entering a delicate period when it will face a set of challenges that do not fit neatly with other countries’ experiences during the pandemic. Spending by consumers is unlikely to reawaken swiftly after being smothered for so long, analysts say. China faces a severe downturn in housing and must race to vaccinate more of its population, especially seniors. China’s factories, the motor of the country’s commerce with the world, confront weakening demand from key trading partners like the United States and Europe, both of which are staring down possible recessions. The … [Read more...] about How Will China Turn Its Economy Back On? The World Is About to Find Out.

Most of Mike Elias’ time as the Orioles’ executive vice president and general manager has focused on the team’s future. But on occasion, he starts that conversation with the past. He points back to the organization he inherited in November 2018, one bereft of infrastructure in analytics, international scouting and other areas. Previous efforts to extend a competitive window left the franchise with a weakened farm system and bad major league contracts. He has often claimed that there was no other path than the one he took of a rebuild that stripped resources from the on-field product and devoted them elsewhere. “We had to reset things,” he said Wednesday at the winter meetings. That past also included the belief that when the time came, Elias would be able to boost payroll as he saw necessary. But the level of expenditures during and following the Orioles’ stint as the American League’s winningest team from 2012 to 2016 won’t return this offseason, Elias said. “This isn’t … [Read more...] about Orioles won’t ‘flip a light switch’ to maximize 2023 payroll, playoff chances, GM Mike Elias says
