Everyone deserves to love freely. And Somerville residents seem to agree with that. The Massachusetts city — that’s situated northwest of Boston — recently passed an ordinance that polyamorous families shouldn’t be discriminated against. This is another step that can help bring the country towards acceptance and provide feasible rights for non-traditional families.But how does this non-conventional type of relationship work — and how can they benefit from the recently-passed ordinance?Somerville Aims to Eliminate Discrimination Against Polyamorous FamiliesIn the last week of March of 2023, Somerville, Massachusetts passed an ordinance that polyamorous families should be protected and not discriminated against.

And since practically the whole world went on lockdown, many were inspired by the idea that they should plant fruits and vegetables in their gardens as a hobby. It’s fulfilling, for sure — to help Mother Earth and she helps you back by giving you produce. No problem with that! However, plants may actually have “feelings.” The commonly-planted produce — tomato — is quite the chatterbox. And apparently, tomato plants scream when they’re in distress! It’s — umm — a massacre.Scientists Learned That Plants Scream When DistressedTel Aviv University researchers discovered that tomato plants “scream” when they’re stressed out. This is said to happen when they don’t receive adequate amounts of water — or when their stems are cut. However, the plant’s screams cannot be heard by the human ear — as these veggies only emit high-frequency sounds. Some insects, on the other hand, can possibly hear the plant’s...Different Types Of THC

DEAR JOAN: My 10-pound, 8-month-old puppy (part Havanese/part poodle) is very bright, very sweet and a challenge. I purchased him from a breeder when he was 6 months old.I take him out regularly to go potty, and he also seems comfortable going through the doggie door. However, he seems to prefer to poop in my home, and he periodically pees on the bed of my other dog, a 9-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback, who is also very smart and friendly.My two dogs seem to get along pretty well, and my puppy also plays with my daughter’s two small dogs, more his age and size.I hope I am not too late in helping him learn to always poop and pee outside. He was neutered a few weeks ago.— Sidney Mygatt, Los GatosDEAR SIDNEY: The first step is make sure there isn’t a medical reason for this behavior. Ask your vet to check your puppy for intestinal parasites and food allergies. If he’s perfectly healthy, then we look for other reasons.He might not be comfortable going outside. Dogs feel vulnerable wh...TasteFood: A different kind of mimosa — psst, asparagus is involved

Eggs mimosa is a French culinary term for grated or sieved hard-cooked eggs. It’s aptly named for the brilliant yellow mimosa flowers that bloom in spring and share the same sunny color as the crumbled egg yolks. Typically, the crumbled eggs are showered over toasts and salads or used as an ingredient in deviled eggs.It’s also notable that the word “mimosa” applies to the popular orange juice and champagne morning cocktail (no relation to eggs).
