SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - It's the last week of February and high pressure is set to bring warmer conditions to the Central Coast.

Temperatures will warm until Tuesday, with mostly clear skies. By Tuesday, temperatures will be 8-12 degrees above normal. Offshore flow is increasing for Monday and Tuesday, bringing winds from the North East. A bit of breezy winds will persist in Ventura County and the canyons, but models show wind speeds will be below advisory levels.

By Wednesday, offshore flow decreases and temperatures remain. Onshore flow will slightly increase, resulting in some low level clouds. Due to high pressure sitting comfy over the region, it is blocking a series of storm systems and cooler temperatures.

For the second half of the work week, temperatures will rise further on Thursday and Friday, with many areas reaching the 80s. For the last week of February, it is going to be a bit different than how it was started with bright, warm and dry conditons! Enjoy.

London (CNN) — Tourette’s syndrome, a neurological condition that causes involuntary sounds or movements known as tics, has come under the spotlight after a man with the condition shouted a racial slur during the BAFTA award ceremony in London on Sunday.

John Davidson, who shouted the word, is the subject of the British indie film “I Swear,” about his life with Tourette’s syndrome. The actor Robert Aramayo, who plays Davidson in the film, won Sunday night’s award for best actor.

Tourette’s syndrome cannot be cured, but potential triggers can be identified, and treatment can help manage the symptoms.

In an interview with CNN before the ceremony, Davidson — who has long campaigned for awareness of the condition — pointed to the number of people at the event as a potential trigger for his tics.

“Certain things — like today, lots of people around, I’m feeling very, you know, motor tics, in case I lash out. Different situations can trigger different emotions and tics,” he said.

Other famous figures have spoken in recent years about their experience of living with the condition, including singers Billie Eilish and Lewis Capaldi.

BAFTA host Alan Cumming reminded the audience after the incident that the condition was a disability. “We apologize if you are offended tonight,” he said.

Here’s what you need to know about the condition:

What are the main symptoms?

Tics are the symptom most commonly associated with Tourette’s syndrome.

These are two types of tics: vocal tics, which can include whistling, repeating a word or, in rare cases, swearing; and motor tics, which can include movements such as twitching or shrugging your shoulders.

Making inappropriate remarks can be a rare symptom of the condition.

“John (Davidson) wouldn’t have known that was the tic that he was about to do,” Edward Palmer, the vice chair of UK-based charity Tourettes Action, told Times Radio on Monday.

“Some people will find they can be, kind of, stimulated or triggered by things in the environment. But for some people, they are completely random. But whatever the circumstances, they are involuntary. They don’t choose the words,” he said.

Approximately 10% to 15% of people with Tourette’s syndrome have tics that result in offensive or rude language, Palmer said.

How common is the condition?

It is estimated that around 1.4 million people in the United States are affected by Tourette’s syndrome or a persistent tic disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In the US, this number equates to around 1 in 50 children between the ages of 5 and 14, CDC data show, although the exact number is not known. The condition is more common in boys than girls.

In the UK, more than 300,000 people live with the condition, Tourettes Action said.

The cause of the condition has not yet been fully established, but it can often run in families, Tourettes Action said. It is also possible that environmental

El presidente Donald Trump escribió el lunes en redes sociales que cree que la Corte Suprema llegará a una “conclusión equivocada” sobre la ciudadanía por nacimiento.

“Lo siguiente será que fallen a favor de China y otros países, que están haciendo fortunas con la ciudadanía por nacimiento, al afirmar que la 14ª Enmienda NO se redactó para cuidar de los ‘bebés de esclavos’, como lo demuestra el momento exacto de su elaboración, presentación y ratificación, que coincidió perfectamente con el FIN DE LA GUERRA CIVIL”, escribió el presidente en Truth Social.

“¿Qué mejor que eso? Pero esta Corte Suprema encontrará la manera de llegar a una conclusión equivocada, una que, una vez más, hará felices y ricas a China y a otras naciones”, añadió.

El presidente ha buscado eliminar la ciudadanía por nacimiento en Estados Unidos, una práctica de casi 160 años garantizada por la 14ª Enmienda de la Constitución que otorga la ciudadanía a cualquier persona nacida en suelo estadounidense.

La Corte Suprema ha acordado decidir si el intento del presidente de eliminar la ciudadanía por nacimiento mediante un decreto es constitucional.

La publicación del presidente también se produce pocos días después de que la Corte Suprema dictaminara que los amplios aranceles de emergencia del presidente son ilegales. Trump ha seguido utilizando Truth Social para criticar a la corte y a los jueces Amy Coney Barrett y Neil Gorsuch, ambos designados por Trump, quienes se unieron al presidente del tribunal, John Roberts, y a los tres jueces liberales a favor de la eliminación de los aranceles.

(CNN) — Each time she steps out of her apartment in Montmartre and heads to the tiny courtyard around the corner, Michelle Harris has no idea how long the errand will take.

“I could be gone for two minutes, or maybe an hour, particularly in the summer,” Harris, originally from Virginia, tells CNN Travel, explaining that it’s almost impossible to simply say “Hi” if a neighbor stops her.

“The French people are so engaging … If they stop you, they talk to you. They’re interested in what you’re doing. Even taking the garbage out.”.

Harris, who moved to Paris permanently in 2020, says she has been “so embraced” by the local community and feels “very well looked after.”

She describes Montmartre, in the city’s 18th arrondissement neighborhood, as having a “village environment” and particularly enjoys spending time at a neighborhood bar called Chez Ammad, which has hosted the likes of French singer Edith Piaf.

Life-changing journey

“I know everybody that works there, so it’s like ‘Cheers…’” she says, referring to the US sitcom set in a Boston bar. “I’m never alone. It’s such an interesting life.”

After feeling unrooted and sad for a long time, she now feels certain she is where she belongs.

Harris never planned to live in Paris. She arrived “almost by accident” a few years after seeing a vision of herself there during a spiritual experience on a trip to Peru.

Before that life-changing journey, she had been focused on a corporate career in the pharmaceutical industry, relocating to cities like St. Louis for work before settling in New York.

After suffering “three personal losses in a row,” including the unexpected death of her father and the loss of a long-held job, Harris began reevaluating her life.

“It was kind of like this lesson in, you can’t control anything,” she says. “No matter what you do, it can slip through your fingers.”

Though she secured another role and tried to move forward, something had shifted.

“I realized I can’t put all this back together again,” Harris adds. “And I kind of took a look at my situation and said, ‘I’m going to blow everything up. I’m going to do something entirely different.’”

Her idea of blowing things up was to quit her “demanding job,” sell her apartment, buy a one-way ticket to Asia and “just start voyaging.”

In January 2016, she headed to Japan, then traveled “south through all of Asia,” before continuing to Australia, South Africa and Europe.

Still consumed by grief, she began experimenting with new ways to confront it.

Harris decided to try ayahuasca, also known as “yage,” a mind-altering concoction taken in the Amazon jungle that is illegal in the US and reported to have beneficial effects for conditions such as depression and anxiety.

“I felt like I had been exhausting everything there is to do,” she says. “The world is a beautiful, magical place. But I was looking for things that were more experiential.”

She traveled to Peru in 2017 and into the Amazon, where a shaman guided her through meditations as part of a ritual ceremony.

Harris says she saw a vision of her father, which helped her come to terms with his death, and she is now “able to speak of him and not just start crying.”

Vision of Paris

“I was able to put the grief aside,” she adds. “And that was incredible.”

She says she also saw other visions. One that stood out was of herself living in Paris.

At the time, Harris didn’t believe this would be her fate. She had studied Spanish in high school and had always struggled with French.

“I couldn’t pronounce a thing. I

(CNN) — Emily Padgett has spent months trying to get her hands on estrogen patches, bouncing between pharmacies, transferring prescriptions and switching brands three times.

For a couple of anxious weeks in January, she had to go without them entirely.

“There’s definitely some symptoms that I noticed popping back after I went off of the patch for a while, and they still haven’t completely gone away since then,” said Padgett, who is in perimenopause.

After a long stretch of uncertainty, she is now finally able to access estrogen patches at a small independent pharmacy in her neighborhood. But each time she walks up to the counter to refill her prescription, she worries about hearing those three words she’s come to fear: “Out of stock.”

For many women in the United States who encounter drenching night sweats, sudden hot flashes, debilitating exhaustion and other menopause-related symptoms, small estradiol patches have become a steady source of relief.

That relief is becoming harder to find – and doctors brace themselves for potentially more shortages to come.

Manufacturers point to a rise in demand, driven by a greater awareness of menopause care and recent action by federal regulators to clarify the risks versus benefits of hormone therapies.

The estradiol patch, a tiny square worn on the skin, may be discreet, but its impact is powerful. It delivers a consistent stream of estrogen to the body, which gets absorbed through the skin. The estrogen hormone naturally declines with age and when levels drop during menopause, symptoms can surge. During perimenopause, the transitional period before menopause, levels of estrogen can start to decrease.

Padgett, a 49-year-old mother of two in Atlanta, said that she had to go those two weeks in January without medication because she could not find a pharmacy that had estrogen patches in stock.

“It’s just an inconvenience more than anything,” Padgett said.

Her perimenopause symptoms of irritability, insomnia and brain fog came back during that time, and she thinks they were exacerbated by the stress of the estrogen patch shortage.

“I was definitely stressed about not getting them, and so my main symptoms were irritability and waking up in the middle of the night stressed and not sleeping,” she said. “I feel like my symptoms have still not completely gone away.”

After switching from different CVS locations and Amazon to the neighborhood pharmacy that ultimately came through, Padgett said that she is back to her regular routine of applying a twice-weekly estrogen patch – but it is a different brand than she is used to.

“I’m on my third different brand now,” she said, and she still worries about future supply.

Estrogen supply challenges

Estrogen patches are available through a doctor’s prescription only. But lately, some prescriptions are taking longer to fill as supplies run low.

“Manufacturers have been unable to provide sufficient supply of hormone replacement therapies (HRT) over the last several weeks,” CVS spokesperson Amy Thibault said in an email. “When these manufacturer supply interruptions occur, our pharmacy teams make every effort to ensure p
