A Beverly Grove family is concerned for their safety after home surveillance cameras captured a brazen burglar who broke into their home while they were asleep and swiped cash and the family car. The incident occurred Sunday around 3:30 a.m. with the thief jumping a locked gate and wandering around the backyard before slipping inside the home. Rabbi Moshe Nourollah, the homeowner, examined the damage where the thief broke in and said he still can’t believe that someone would do that. “Coming in the middle of the night, bombarding somebody’s house, stealing, that’s insane, you know what I mean?” he told KTLA. The security cameras on the home did not deter the crook, and the family’s alarm system was not activated. “He came in from the back door,” Batya Nourollah said. “Police said he pried open the door, he came inside, took the wallet. He came upstairs where I was sleeping in my bedroom. It's mortifying."It wasn’t until the next day that the Nourollah’s disco...Boy, 12, struck by Metro bus, critically injured

The popular opinion on CBD is that it’s “super-safe” for healthy adults — and, in most cases, that’s true. However, dosage will always affect the safety profile of a supplement. Even though CBD is non-intoxicating, it can have adverse effects if people take too much.There’s also a concern in the medical community that CBD could interact with other herbs or medications. For these reasons, even CBD proponents never recommend mixing hemp products with prescription pills or herbal supplements.A recent case study out of Switzerland highlights the significance of carefully dosing CBD products.

At first bite, soft goat cheese tastes pungent, earthy and perhaps a bit peculiar to those used to eating cream cheese made with cow’s milk. Goat cheese is tart and sassy and packed with unexpected funky flavors.But those adventurous enough to go for a second and third bite often fall hard for the snowy white cheese as its tangy, bright flavors are a genius counterpoint to everything from beets to blueberries. Creamy goat cheese can be used to top pizza or salad, smeared on a bagel, stirred into pasta or simply served with crackers as an instant appetizer.In terms of nutrition, goat cheese is naturally higher in vitamins and minerals and lower in calories and cholesterol than cheese made with cow’s milk. Even better, goat’s milk contains a unique, bold-flavored, fatty acid that not only transforms the flavor of the milk but also lowers the lactose content and promotes good digestion.Fresh goat cheese comes in a handful of flavors, including versions infused with honey, pepper or her...Mosquitoes are annoying and some are deadly.
