AURORA, Colo (KDVR) — An Aurora man is looking for answers after he said a man stole his lilies straight out of his garden. He said it happened last Thursday, June 15, at his home near Colfax Avenue and Sable Boulevard.

What you should know about muscle memory to help you stay fit

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:58:43 GMT

(CNN) — When you hear the term “muscle memory,” it conjures up images of your muscles being able to memorize certain movements, such as dribbling a soccer ball or playing “Happy Birthday” on the piano. But while muscle memory is real, that’s not what is actually going on in your body.What’s more, science says there are two different kinds of muscle memory. One type, neurological, is tied to the recall of learned activity, while the other form, physiological, is related to the regrowth of actual muscle tissue.Understanding how both kinds of muscle memory work can help you get off to a strong start if you’re establishing a new fitness routine or rebooting one after a break.The neurological form of muscle memory is probably the type most of us associate with the term, as it has to do with the phenomenon in which it appears our muscles are “remembering” specific movements. Even if you haven’t ridden a bicycle in several years, for example, you can probably hop on one and pedal with ease...

Dengue spike in Europe triggers fear of more infections, deaths

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:58:43 GMT

Europe has seen more cases of locally acquired dengue in 2022 than the total number of cases in the previous decade, as heat waves and flooding allow invasive mosquitoes to establish themselves further north and west in the region.The data released Thursday by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is a stark warning that climate change, as well as factors such as migration and land-use change, appears to be contributing to the spread of mosquito-borne diseases on the Continent. The ECDC’s Director Andrea Ammon warned that Europe could see more cases and potentially deaths from diseases such as dengue, chikungunya and West Nile fever.In 2022, there were 71 cases of locally acquired dengue, with 65 in France and six in Spain. There was also a peak in cases of West Nile virus, with 1,133 cases and 92 deaths. Most of those cases — 1,112 — were locally acquired in 11 countries, with more than 700 in Italy. It’s the highest number of cases since 2018, when a m...

LONDON — Ukraine needs foreign help to balance its budget in 2024, Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko said on Thursday, calling on partners including the U.S. to “step in.”The war-torn country is confident it will balance the books this year, thanks in large part to support from the EU, the U.S., the International Monetary Fund and other donors.But it needs more external funding. “For next year, we also expect other nations to step in and cover our expenses and help us to cover our budget deficit,” Marchenko told POLITICO in an interview Thursday, on the sidelines of a Ukraine Recovery Conference hosted in London.Partners are already coming forward. The IMF reached an agreement with Kyiv in March on a $15.6 billion program aimed at ensuring macroeconomic stability. On Tuesday, the European Commission proposed a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine through 2027. This, the EU maintains, would cover 45 percent of Ukraine’s budgetary and urgent reconstruction needs, estimated at $110 bil...
