98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: My Neighbors Hate My Halloween Decorations. What Do I Do?

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Andy and it's about Halloween decorations. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. What do you think about this? Over the last week, I’ve become the most hated man in my neighborhood… and it’s all because of my love for Halloween. My love for the holiday is well known, and I’ve invested thousands of dollars over the last decade making sure I have the greatest house in our entire zip code. Now, people go out of their way to drive by the house, see the spooky decorations, look at the lights, check out the animatronics, and hear my new giant ogre yell at them. It’s freaking awesome. My neighbors, however, have let it be known how much they hate me around this time each year. I’ve set timers to shut things down at 9 p.m. each night, but it doesn’t seem to make things any better. I think 9pm is a fair time to turn things off. Don't you think they'...

In 2020, approximately 4.5% of the EU's total employment, an estimated 9.4 million people, worked within the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector. The vast majority, or 4.2% of total employment, worked in agriculture. The agriculture, forestry and fishing sector continues to be a significant source of employment, particularly in eastern and southern EU countries. Looking at the NUTS 3 regional data, Romania's Vaslui (61.7%) and Neamţ (51.4%) regions reported the highest employment rates in this sector. Furthermore, 114 regions had over 16.5% of their workforce employed in agriculture, forestry, and fishing, with concentrations in Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, Portugal and Romania.Toward the lower end of the range, 137 regions in 2020 had less than 0.5% of their workforce employed in agriculture, forestry, and fishing.

Goldberg: The fracturing of the U.S. political left over Israel, Hamas

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:54:42 GMT

$Goldberg: The fracturing of the U.S. political left over Israel, Hamas$ On Tuesday evening, I was drinking on the porch of my friend and neighbor Misha Shulman, the Israel-born rabbi of a progressive New York synagogue called the New Shul. All day, he’d been on the phone with congregants deeply distraught over the massacres and mass kidnappings in Israel. Of all the people he spoke to, he said, those most devastated were either people who had lost close friends or family, or young Jews “completely shattered by the response of their lefty friends in New York,” who were either justifying Hamas’ atrocities or celebrating them outright.This sense of deep betrayal is not limited to New York. Many progressive Jews have been profoundly shaken by the way some on the left are treating the terrorist mass murder of civilians as noble acts of anti-colonial resistance. These are Jews who share the left’s abhorrence of the occupation of Gaza and of the enormities inflicted on it, which are only going to get worse if and when Israel invades. But the way keyboard radic...

¿Qué es mejor para la depresión: el ejercicio o la medicación? Expertos opinan

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:54:42 GMT

(CNN) — Según una nueva investigación, correr puede ser tan eficaz como los antidepresivos para tratar la depresión o la ansiedad. Pero expertos afirman que la solución puede no ser tan sencilla para todas las personas.Dada la prevalencia de la depresión y la ansiedad y sus consecuencias sobre la salud, investigadores de Ámsterdam estudiaron la mejor manera de mitigar estos efectos, y si los antidepresivos o la intervención sobre el estilo de vida tendrían efectos diferentes sobre la salud mental, así como sobre ciertos aspectos de la salud física.La investigación es la primera “que compara los efectos de los antidepresivos con los ejercicios de carrera para la ansiedad, la depresión y la salud en general”, según un comunicado sobre un estudio presentado el 6 de octubre en la conferencia anual del Colegio Europeo de Neuropsicofarmacología. El estudio se publicó a principios de este año en la revista Journal of Affective Disorders.“Los antidepresivos suelen se...
