CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Los Angeles (CNN) — The bottom of every bottle of Dwayne Johnson’s Teremana tequila is embossed with the letters “TIJASI” – the first two letters of his three daughters’ first names.Sweet? Certainly. But to Johnson – a wrestler turned multi-hyphenate box office behemoth – he hopes it’s also a reminder.“What I try to do with the girls is show them that No. 1, the world is yours. And as little girls – and little girls of color – it’s out there,” he told reporters Thursday. “You’re gonna have your struggles, and if Teremana is an example of hard work [and] creating something for people [to] like and enjoy, let it be your example.”Johnson explained this tribute to Tiana, 5, Jasmine, 7, and Simone, 22, over a glass of Teremana Anejo (poured over ice, with an orange slice, in case you’re curious) at Mana Holiday House, a limited-engagement brand-focused experience being held in Los Angeles this weekend, in New York City on December 12 and 13 and online.In a laid-back c...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:38:48 GMT

Dear Dr. John,One of my Airedale Terriers was diagnosed with something called Polycythemia Vera. She is seven years old, and her vet prescribed two medications, hydroxyurea and semintra. She started off drinking and peeing a lot and I was initially concerned that she might have diabetes or a kidney problem. She was also exhibiting some more tired behavior than usual.Apparently, this condition is quite rare in dogs, so I want to get a second opinion, but I am not sure where to go or if I even need one. Are there specialists for this kind of condition? I am hoping that she will survive for a reasonable amount. M.M.Dear M.M.,Polycythemia as a hematologic condition that means that there is an excess of red blood cells or erythrocytes in the circulatory system. The blood is thicker than usual, resulting in clinical signs such as those you described as well as dogs having very red gums that can also bleed easily along with weakness, incoordination, and even seizures.

Q. I’m wrapping presents on nights and weekends through the holidays, and during the day I’m an IT director. I really like retail though! How can I do more than wrap and can I swap gigs?A. Yes, you can swap gigs. Network while you’re at the side hustle, demonstrate a hard work ethic, even with wrapping gifts (meaning, no task is too small to put your work ethic on full display). See if there are other roles you can fill during your shifts as well to meet new people.Set new goals: Do you want to work full-time on the sales floor? Maybe work in IT for this retail company, so same path, but different company? Or if you’re already set on wanting to swap IT director for gift wrapper, crunch numbers. You may enjoy the gig now because your responsibilities are different and perhaps lighter than running a department. So, enjoy the side hustle, communicate your interest in wanting to work there for the long-term, continue to prop that door open through meaningful conv...
