To people who know about Dia de Los Muertos, this is a familiar concept.
The origin of this event falls on one person. According to the All Souls website, an independent arti...

When you picture a petting zoo, you imagine docile animals like goats and pigs, and not unusual species like capybara or emu.
At the Funny Foot Farm in Tucson, you can see them all – including ducks, porcupines, warthogs and even a kangaroo. This place is abundant with animals that some people have never seen before, let alone up close.
Kenneth McNeal, the owner and operator, says he started his business on a single purchase.
“We used to own a lizard and bug shop and one day we saw a wholes...

No Comments BRIEF: Son convicted in shocking NYC murder-for-hire conspiracy over family real estate business
A federal jury in Brooklyn on Wednesday convicted Anthony Zottola, Sr. and Himen Ross of murder-for-hire conspiracy and murder-for-hire in the Oct. 4, 2018 killing of Sylvestor Zottola, 71, according to a DOJ press release. Bushawn Shelton, an additional co-conspirator, pleaded guilty to the same charges in August.
The elder Zottola was killed as he waited for a cup of coffee at a McDonald's drive-thru in the Bronx.
“Over the course of more than a year, the elderly victim, Sylvester Zottola, was stalked, beaten, and stabbed, never knowing who orchestrated the attacks. It was his own son, who was so determined to control the family’s lucrative real estate business that he hired a gang of hit men to murder his father,” said US Attorney Breon Peace.
The release goes on to include t...
