Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:06:43 GMT

A wildfire that broke out west of Colorado Springs within the burn scar from the 2012 Waldo Canyon fire has been mostly snuffed and firefighters who quickly surrounded it were working on Wednesday to contain it.“The only thing that’s burning now is heavy fuels that are well inside the perimeter,” U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Vidalia Vigil said. “Like dead and downed fuels, big branches, trees, stump holes. There’s expected to be some lingering smoke.”The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for the Colorado Front Range mountain foothills and the eastern plains due to record heat, dry grass, wind and low humidity — conditions that favor fire.About 50 firefighters were deployed on Tuesday to suppress this Rampart fire, which burned about 20 acres of grass and Ponderosa pines, 2.5 miles southeast of Woodland Park, on U.S. Forest Service land but moving toward houses in western El Paso County.

Blue, jellyfish-like blobs known as By-the-wind Sailors, or Velella velella, continue to wash ashore by the millions, or perhaps billions, along Southern California’s coast this week. While it might look like a massive die-off or another catastrophic event, experts say it is perfectly natural and normal.“We’ve seen (Velella velella) colonies wash up along our coastline over the years,” said Cassandra Davis, manager of volunteer programs at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. “In 2014 and 2015, trillions of them washed up along the eastern Pacific coast.”By-the-wind Sailors washed ashore by the thousands at Emmawood State Beach in Ventura County, California.

Christina Wu didn’t take the traditional path to software engineer."I’m seeing that I don’t necessarily need all these degrees to do this sort of work," said Wu, who was previously on staff at a school and is a classically trained musician."I think engineering is about finding creative solutions to problems and that can be applied to very different fields," said Wu.She knew she wanted to make the transition to software but wasn’t sure how."I had been looking at different bootcamps online to do after work, but I found that a lot of them were extremely expensive," explained Wu.An Instagram post led her to a unique scholarship program for underrepresented individuals through a startup named Tech Elevator and Niantic, the company famous for Pokémon Go.Wu was one of twenty given a free, 14-week coding bootcamp and she’s now in the middle of a 6-month apprenticeship with Niantic."The goal for my apprenticeship is to eventually create my own game," said Wu."It’s really important for us at ...
