By Levi Berg  Agriculture and Natural Resources   Clark County Extension Office Most times when we hear about safe handling of livestock, we think about the safety of the animals. However, many times we don't think about our own safety in regards to diseases, bacteria, and such. Livestock such as poultry, horses, ruminants, and others have digestive systems that can convert forages into usable nutrients, and this is possible because of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa living in the intestinal tracts of those animals. These microorganisms breakdown complex plant material such as cellulose into high energy compounds, and use those compounds for growth, lactation, or gestation. However, it is easy for these microorganisms to be passed through the animal's intestinal tract, and can be found in the animal's manure. Manure from livestock and other animals can contain some nasty microorganisms that can cause serious infections in human...

Our feet are remarkably high maintenance in the best of times: We have to worry about bunions and blisters, corns and calluses. Heels start to hurt; tendons tear. But during the pandemic, experts have reported that life at home has translated to even more trouble for feet, including broken toes. Another ailment that they say has been exacerbated by excess time spent barefoot during the pandemic: dry, cracked feet. "A lot of people have dry skin — that's just a lack of moisture in the skin itself," said Priya Parthasarathy, a podiatrist who practices in Silver Spring, Md., and is chair of the American Podiatric Medical Association's communications committee. "When you have severely dry skin or you don't treat that dry skin, it develops into what we in the medical world call fissures" — or cracks — in the skin. They are usually found on the heels (thus the common term cracked heels), but Parthasarathy recently treated a patient who had a deep slit in the m...

Franchises fail for any number of reasons, from creative burnout to stories well past their expiration date. They can collapse under different circumstances today, something studios rarely see until it's too late. Woke. Consider "Terminator: Dark Fate," "Charlie's Angels," "Men in Black: International" and "Ghostbusters." All four films failed to varying degrees. Each represented a step in Hollywood's woke evolution. "Dark Fate" hung its marketing campaign on its female leads, for example, not the aging superstar who embodies the franchise. "Charlie's Angels" jettisoned the sexuality and silliness of the source material for stern empowerment beats. Even Slate.com noticed the difference. Might "Jurassic World Dominion" learn this lesson the hard way? The June 10 release marks the sixth film in the mega-franchise, and box office experts predict it will soar past the $400 million mark sta...
