Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! My name is Ava and I’ve been arguing with my daughter all week about putting up Halloween decorations inside and outside our house. She thinks we need to wait till at least the second week in October and I think we can do it now. The debate began after we went to Sams Club and Michaels’ crafts and started looking at decorations. We bought a bunch of stuff and I wanted to start decorating right away. She, on the other hand, put all of the decorations we bought in the basement. Someone in our neighborhood already has a big skeleton out in front of their house, so why can’t we? Do you think it’s too early to put up Halloween decorations? Should we wait until it's at least October? Thanks.AvaI say if you like the decorations, put them up! It's your hou...'Bar Without Boundaries': Saratoga family rolls out mobile business

Dear Amy: I’ve been a devoted supporter of a local nonprofit organization for 25 years. I am one of two continuous volunteers from when the organization was first founded.When our executive director asks, I give advice, but I self-monitor and don’t insert myself unduly.I served on the board and at the end of my term was asked to continue as emeritus (non-voting), and attend meetings.Recently, a staff member announced a new and unrealistic financial giving expectation for all board members.Board members promised support, but their offerings have been weak.As a fundraising professional myself, I spoke with the executive director when he asked and said that this staff member’s approach was not going to work.I also met with the employee, at his invitation.When I shared best practices, he took over the conversation. He sent a follow-up communication showing that he took nothing in.It is damaging to set board members up to fail.As a long-time supporter, what’s my best op...EESC celebrates success of 'Fur Free Europe' Citizens' Initiative

On 20 September 2023, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) hosted a debate highlighting the achievements of the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) "Fur Free Europe". At its core, the initiative stands as a resounding call for a fur-free continent, pushing for a total ban on fur farming and on the sale of fur products within European markets.The ECI "Fur Free Europe" has collected the backing of an astonishing 1.5 million European citizens, achieving the required thresholds in 18 member states in less than 10 months. These figures reflect the outcome of the Conference on the Future of Europe and the most recent special Eurobarometer survey, both of which have resoundingly endorsed higher standards of animal welfare."The European Commission's current commitment to revising animal welfare legislation during its current mandate is a crucial opportunity to achieve a fur-free Europe", urged Elise Fleury, organiser of the ECI and Campaign Lead for Eurogroup for Animals.

SANTA CLARA — Here is how the 49ers (3-0) graded in Thursday night’s home-opening 30-12 win over the New York Giants (1-2):PASS OFFENSE: A-Brock Purdy faced the most blitz-happy defense of his NFL life (on 33-of-39 dropbacks), and he lived to talk about a 310-yard, two-touchdown, no-turnover victory. “There were some looks that were there. I was off or inaccurate, or things just didn’t happen right within our scheme,” Purdy said. “It was a little choppy at first. Once we got in a rhythm, we saw what they were doing.” Getting rid of the ball in an average of 2.34 seconds allowed Purdy to watch his playmakers rack up 215 yards after the catch. Nobody played bigger in Brandon Aiyuk’s absence than Deebo Samuel (six catches, 129 yards, 27-yard touchdown to cap the scoring). But big receptions also came from George Kittle (season-high 90 yards, seven catches), Christian McCaffrey (34 yards, five catches), Ronnie Bell (first career catch was a 9-yarder for the 49ers’ first touchdown)...Review: ‘Flora and Son’ is a lovely movie for cynical times

By Jake Coyle | Associated PressJohn Carney, the Irish filmmaker of “Once,” “Sing Street” and “Begin Again,” makes the movie version of “three chords and the truth.”His films, unabashedly earnest, feel-good movies for cynical times, are lo-fi musicals that tell simple stories, charmingly. There are love interests, usually. But the abiding romance is for music. His films are the sort that would be easier to dismiss as “sentimental” if his central belief — in the redemptive power of music — didn’t happen to be kinda true.The song remains much the same in Carney’s latest charmer, “Flora and Son,” starring Eve Hewson as a working-class single mother in Dublin who takes up guitar lessons. Flora’s initial instinct when she snags a beat-up acoustic guitar out of a dumpster, is to give it to her troubled 14-year-old son, Max (Orén Kinlan) as a day-late birthday present. Max, though, is nonplussed.̶...Single-family house sells for $1.9 million in Pleasanton

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine carried out a missile strike Friday on the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, a Russian official said, and images on social media showed large plumes of smoke said to be coming from Sevastopol harbor in the annexed Crimea. The Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, didn’t offer any details, saying only that emergency services have been dispatched to the site of the strike and there was no information about casualties.Razvozhayev warned Sevastopol residents that “another attack is possible,” and urged them not to leave buildings and not to come to the city center.“Those who are near the fleet headquarters, head to the shelters if you hear the siren,” he wrote. He also said that firefighters were battling a blaze at the site of the attack, and more emergency forces were being brought in, an indication that the fire could be massive.Ukraine did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack.Sevastopol residents said they ...Latest news
