Growing up, I expected to live the fast-paced life of a performer. I'm a Jersey girl with a New York City spirit. My dreams were set on being a principal actor on Broadway.

In recent years, however, the risks have sharply risen, along with the size and impact of bigger blazes. There is a changing wildfire dynamic in this region.

An unnamed tourist saw it and told Aidan Moore, who works for Alcatraz City Cruises. Moore told SFGATE that he was initially skeptical, but the guest's iPhone footage left little room for doubt. The video shows, not a sea lion or an otter, but an actual Canis latrans, doggedly dogpaddling, then clambering out of the water, noticeably shaky and struggling to settle tired paws on the craggy rocks.

Donald Trump's ICE, a Gestapo-like agency, has run rampant for weeks in Minneapolis, snatching thousands of people and even children off the streets, citizens and immigrants alike, breaking into peoples' homes, shooting and murdering people, and trying to suppress lawful protests. In response, the people of Minneapolis have organized a massive fightback, flooding the streets to confront ICE agents and protecting the people from the transgressions of the state-sponsored neo-Nazis who are trying to occupy the city.

Ah, Midwestern food. There's something so incredibly comforting about seeing a butter cow at a state fair or digging into a hotdish. But there's more to Midwestern food than meets the eye, and I'll bet anyone who hasn't grown up in the Heartland can't ace all 15 of these questions about the region's most iconic dishes. But, hey, prove me wrong and try for yourself!

The House of Elements, set to become the crown jewel of Orientarium Zoo in Łódź, Poland, takes the classical elements (earth, ice, water, fire, and air) and transforms them into a 6,000-square-meter narrative experience. Rather than designing a building where you walk from exhibit to exhibit, VMA created a continuous downward-then-upward journey that mirrors the evolution of life itself.

Our workshop has encountered all kinds of issues with vehicles over the years, but a set of fox cubs is a brand new one for us. At first, our technician thought they might be rats because the cubs are grey, rather than the typical red you would expect of a fox they gave him quite a fright.

Detroit is perhaps best known for its legacy as the U.S.'s premier car manufacturing hub. The first auto companies set up shop in Detroit around the turn of the 20th century, and by 1917, the city's plants produced over one million cars per year. Beyond manufacturing, though, Motor City significantly impacted American pop culture.

In Texas, the Houston Zoo has prepared its buildings and barns with heaters designed to withstand extreme conditions, the zoo said in a blog post on Friday. Animals will have access to extra hay and bedding, and food was stocked in advance. Across the Zoo, sensitive plants are being protected with coverings, and generators are positioned to provide backup power if needed, the blog post said.

Animals' risk of becoming roadkill depends on several factors, including how many vehicles are on the road, how many animals are on the road, and how animals and human drivers behave, explains Tom Langen, a professor of biology at Clarkson University, who studies animal-vehicle collisions. DST can minimize these collisions, however.

Shouldered by sandstone cliffs, these caves in Bayfield, Wisconsin, form when water-and, notably, waves-that would normally flow through the sandstone freezes instead, birthing icicles, columns, and curtains.
