Following a major recall in mid-March, avocados are making the news again — but this time, it's because the import from Mexico would stop coming to the U.S. if the border with Mexico is closed.Almost half of imported vegetables to the U.S. come from Mexico, and 40 percent of imported fruit is grown there. President Donald Trump wants to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border if Mexico does not stop immigrants from illegally crossing into the United States.That closure 479

Flip or Flop, Fixer Upper and Property Brothers are some of the most popular shows on television. They all are based around the same concept: a family gets a home in disarray, completes a major renovation, and either sell it for a big profit, or live in it.Though, perception is sometimes deception.“They’re beautiful homes and everything, but it’s just not reality,” said Travis Tomlinson, owner of Lokal Real Estate.Tomlinson has been buying, flipping and selling homes for years in Northeast Ohio. He even holds classes for people wanting to learn how to get into the business. He said it’s not uncommon to have clients believe they can do more than they should, faster than they should, and end up getting in over their heads.‘It’s kind of flooding the market, actually,” he said. “They get themselves in a real bind because they don’t have the experience and they don’t have the knowledge.”According to Tomlinson, the first mistake most rookie flippers make is overpaying for the property.“If you purchase wrong it’s really hard to make a profit on it,” he said.Marnie Mekruit is a staging professional and works with Staged by L, a local company that stages flipped homes for clients. She said if you overpay right away, you’ll have less money for unforeseen bumps in the road and for important steps like staging.“If you’ve ever done a small home improvement in your house, like refinished your bathroom, you know, it took six months longer than you ever thought it was going to take and it ends up being twice as expensive as you thought it was going to be,” said Mekruit. “Extrapolate that to a whole property and all of the problems that can happen, all the things that come up that you just never plan for, and many people are just not prepared for that.”Professionals note that the timeline of the shows can be a little unrealistic.“They come in with a team of 15 to 20 guys and they're getting done in one day what it takes me maybe a week to do,” said local contractor Curt Yoder.While the flips are beautiful and extravagant, it’s best to start small.“A lot of people maybe go too far on the renovations they plan on doing,” Tomlinson said.Laura Fulton, a staging professional and the owner of Staged by L, echoed his sentiment.“A lot of times what they’ll do is they’ll either under budget or they’ll over improve,” said Fulton.But she said perhaps the biggest misconception on television vs. reality is the profit.“It's not realistic you're going to make that money,” she said. “Maybe in certain areas, California, and other places you can, but for our area, typically, you don't see those kind of profits.” 2636

Flight attendants feel the pain of cramped aircraft seats, too."It is a torture chamber for our passengers and for us, that also fly on our own airlines," Lori Bassani, of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, or APFA, said during a congressional hearing Wednesday."We find that the seats are not only getting smaller, but there's no padding on them anymore," she said.Bassani testified before a House Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee hearing that smaller seats are not only uncomfortable but also a safety risk.She called it "almost impossible" to exit some seating configurations in an emergency. Federal regulations require airplanes be capable of being evacuated in fewer than 90 seconds even if some exits are blocked."The passengers already -- in the normal case of getting on or off the airplane -- are having difficult times getting into the aisle to sit down," Bassani said. "Can you imagine in a stressful situation trying to evacuate in a real life scenario passengers from a plane that is burning or that is half tilted or upside down?"Safety concerns led a federal court in 2017 to 1134

Homeowners in the Merrimack Valley region of Massachusetts continue construction on their homes after over-pressured gas lines ruptured last September, killing a man and destroying five homes. More than 130 additional homes were damaged.“It was frightening because you are hearing one here and you hear there’s explosions in Lawrence, there’s explosions in Andover, there’s another house over here,” says North Andover resident Rosemary Smedile.Smedile let our 360-degree camera inside.
