By Leah Dolan, CNN , CNNWire Thursday, March 28, 2024 12:03PM The burial spot is in the vicinity of Marilyn Monroe’s final resting place at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary.

The burial spot (specifically, Wall B, Space C-3) is notably one row above and four spaces to the left of Monroe’s final resting place at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary in LA. It is marginally closer to her eternal neighbor, Hefner. Orchestrated by Julien’s Auctions, the sale is part of a wider auction of Hefner’s and Monroe’s belongings, including the latter star’s first Playboy magazine cover from 1953, Hefner’s burgundy smoking jacket and silk pajamas, and an orange-hued Elizabeth Arden lipstick owned by Monroe in the 1960s.

Phoam Foam Development | Red Bluff Garden Club

I begin this article with a caveat. I read this very interesting, complicated article, and I just want to share the information as I understand it. If you are interested in further information, please do more research and share it with us. If you have ever received a floral arrangement, you have seen foam blocks used to hold flowers in place.  You may have saved and reused it for your own purposes.  If you throw the foam block in the garbage, it is transported to the landfill, and it is still in the landfill. The traditional foam block is made from oil products, phenol, and formaldehyde, which break down into microplastics, which travel to our oceans and soil and eventually find their way into our food chain. The microplastics are less than 5 mm in size. The floral industry, florists, designers, and all who are concerned about our planet are interested in taking responsibility for the environment.  Not long ago, some members of our Cascade Arrangers Guild and garden club discussed this very problem of environmentally unfriendly foam.  How could we be more responsible for

Baltimore bridge collapse update: Investigators reveal timeline of events leading up to ship crash

BALTIMORE, Md. — Federal investigators unveiled new details about what occurred in the minutes before a hulking cargo ship lost power and slammed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, including the pilot’s urgent call for assistance and authorities’ efforts to clear people off the bridge. The first sign of distress came just under three minutes before the crash when the cargo ship’s pilot called over the radio requesting any tugboats in the area to respond to the vessel, National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said in a news conference Wednesday. The NTSB will comb through a voyage-data recorder in an attempt to recreate a timeline of Tuesday’s cargo-ship crash, officials say Within a minute, police officers on either end of the bridge were ordered to stop traffic crossing the bridge, said Marcel Muise, the NTSB investigator in charge of the collapse inquiry – an action several officials have credited with saving lives. RELATED: Police had about 90 seconds to stop traffic before Baltimore bridge collapse Investigators had their first full day at the scene Wednesday and witnessed the “utter devastation” of the mangled bridge

BALTIMORE, Md. — The bodies of two construction workers have been recovered while four others remain missing and are presumed dead after a cargo ship struck Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, sending the workers into the water. Eight workers were fixing potholes on the span when the ship hit the bridge around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. The workers plunged into the frigid water, and two were rescued, officials said.

California bars and nightclubs getting ready for new “roofie” testing kit requirement

Research has found that around 50% of nearly 1,000 women and men they surveyed have had their drinks or food spiked. Thursday, March 28, 2024 1:41PM California is shaking things up in the roughly 2,400 bars and nightclubs across the state. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — California is shaking things up in the roughly 2,400 bars and nightclubs across the state. Assembly Bill 1013 was passed unanimously in the legislature and signed into law by Governor Newsom last year. It requires all bars and nightclubs to have drink spiking drug testing kits available upon request. “These kits must test for controlled substances commonly used to spike drinks. The licensees can either choose to provide these kits at no cost or they can be sold at a reasonable amount, not to exceed the wholesale cost,” said Devin Blankenship of the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The requirements must be met by July 1. It’s something The Howlin Wolf in Fresno’s Tower District is working on. “I think these are a great idea that these kits will be required to be available because you never know what

Minimum wage for most California fast-food workers to rise on April 1

Thursday, March 28, 2024 3:28AM On April 1st, the wage for most fast-food workers in California will increase from the state’s current rate of $16 an hour to $20. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — On April 1st, the wage for most fast-food workers in California will increase from the state’s current rate of $16 an hour to $20. “It’s good for the workers, definitely. The cost of living is going up. So, they get a better little increase in their check,” said Merced resident Francine Mestaz. Dillon Savory is the executive director for the Central Labor Council. He says employers are always pushing costs onto consumers, but it really comes down to the affordability crisis in California. “A lot of workers are not; they’re just trying to take care of their families. They’re not able to think about things beyond their day-to-day activity or week to week ability to take care of their loved ones,” explained Savory. Action News reached out to Chipotle Mexican Grill regarding the increase. A spokesperson declined our request for an interview but quoted the company’s Chief Financial and Administrative Officer as
