Un supervisor de un campamento en Maryland fue reconocido por rescatar a un niño que casi se ahogó en el ramal noroeste del río Anacostia. Un grupo de campistas estaban caminando por un sendero en el condado Montgomery cuando David Cypress intentó saltar por encima de las piedras y se cayó. “Traté de acordarme de cada técnica que aprendí de la natación… tratando de sobrevivir”, dijo David. Relató que se quedó atascado contra un tronco.  Fue entonces que el consejero Tuvia Moses se tiró al río. “Decidí que era ahora o nunca cuando se trataba de salvarlo”, dijo. Moses se pegó la cabeza en las piedras pero pudo sostener la cabeza de David por encima del agua hasta que llegaron los rescatistas. “La prioridad número uno en mi mente era salvar el campista”, dijo Moses. “Mi vida estaba en peligro también, así que, eso daba un poco de miedo”. Moses recibió el martes el premio para ciudadanos de Maryland que realicen un servicio de emergencia (Mar...

What makes a tiny home a legal residence in Colorado?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:43:23 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Coloradans can now legally live in a tiny home and consider it a full-time residence.Before HB 22-1242, tiny houses were categorized with campers and RVs, so they could only be lived in seasonally. Now tiny homes can be built on wheels to International Residential Code for people to reside in permanently.Tracy Manchego-Baker has been building RV-certified tiny homes on wheels for years as a co-founder of Tiny Building Experts. Edible mushrooms you can find in Colorado "With this new law I'm going to be able to take my tiny house, put it on a piece of land, as long as I built it to code and as long as I tie it to utilities correctly and place it correctly, I'm going to be able to live in that full time in Colorado, that used to not be," she said.She was on the team that helped make the new laws so that tiny homeowners can live on their own property."There's a difference now, we've actually defined what a tiny home is," Manchego-Baker said.

Admitting Ukraine will be the EU’s biggest geopolitical contribution to the war

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:43:23 GMT

Mujtaba Rahman is the head of Eurasia Group’s Europe practice and a columnist for POLITICO Europe. He tweets at @Mij_Europe.The European Commission finally delivered its long-anticipated oral report on Ukraine’s progress last month, looking at the headway made toward the seven reforms the country will need to pass if European Union leaders are to green-light opening accession negotiations with Kyiv.On reforms relating to the judiciary, Kyiv received a broadly positive assessment, albeit more needs to be done. And the same goes for tackling vested interests in the media as well. On the prevention of money laundering, the fight against corruption, reducing the influence of oligarchs and the protection of minorities, however, Ukraine still has a lot more to do, and it will now have until the fall to demonstrate further progress before European capitals consider a fuller written assessment.What was crucially missing from this initial analysis, though, was the EU’s own preparedness for a...

Dancing with the far right doesn’t pay off

Kristina Kausch is a senior fellow and resident representative, Spain, at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Vassilis Ntousas is the head of European operations at the Alliance for Securing Democracy at the German Marshall Fund of the United States.Sunday’s general election in Spain was a turning point in Spanish politics — but in much a different way than anticipated.The European Union’s fourth largest economy went to the polls expecting a landslide for a conservative coalition, which would have allowed a far-right party to claim some governing power at the national level for the first time in modern Spain’s 45-year democratic history. But in defiance of the polls, and much to everyone’s surprise, the vote became a plebiscite in favor of the political center.While the conservative People’s Party (PP), led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, made great gains and emerged as a narrow winner with 33 percent of the vote, it failed to muster the necessary parliamentary majority to gover...

It’s not every day that a pair of sunglasses causes your downfall. But that’s what happened to Bjørnar Moxnes, a Norwegian left-wing party leader who was caught on camera stealing a pair of luxury sunglasses from Oslo airport.“A lot of people have asked me how I could do something so stupid. I’ve asked myself that many times in recent weeks. I don’t have an adequate explanation,” Moxnes wrote on Facebook.In honor of Moxnes’ fall from grace, POLITICO brings you some of the most embarrassing resignations in European politics (and there were a lot to choose from).

Feijóo’s numbers don’t add up

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:43:23 GMT

MADRID — Alberto Núñez Feijóo may not want to admit it but his hope of being Spain’s next prime minister may have to be lowered. On Monday night, the leader of the center-right Popular Party, which won the most votes in last Sunday’s national election in Spain but fell short of securing a governing majority, was left without options to form a government after two key regional parties rejected his overtures.To become Spain’s prime minister, a candidate whose party has not secured a governing majority needs to either get the backing of 176 of the total 350 MPs in an initial vote in parliament or wait for a second round of voting to secure a simple majority. MPs can also abstain, which means it can be difficult to determine the exact number of seats needed for a successful bid to form a government.In a speech after a meeting of the Popular Party’s executive committee, Feijóo reaffirmed his determination to gather the support needed to advance with his candidacy,...
