Michael R. SisakThe Associated PressNEW YORK — Police say someone busted into the altar at a New York City church, stole a $2 million gold relic and removed the head from a statue of an angel at some point late last week. Camera recordings from the church's security system were also stolen, the church's pastor said. The Diocese of Brooklyn called it "a brazen crime of disrespect and hate." The tabernacle, a box containing Holy Communion items, was made of 18-carat gold and decorated with jewels, police and the diocese said. "To know that a burglar entered the most sacred space of our beautiful Church and took great pains to cut into a security system is a heinous act of disrespect," Tumino said.

Mr. Macron committed to opening up the clubby world of the overwhelmingly white and predominantly male mandarins who run France after the eruption of the Yellow Vest protest movement in late 2018. The protests highlighted the disconnect between urban elites and overlooked communities in the rural hinterland or underserved projects surrounding big cities. “We are risking the disappearance of our professional diplomats.”The government argues that the change will lead to greater competence by dispensing with entrenched traditions and an attachment to status, while also giving diplomats more varied opportunities that bring them closer to the reality of French life. “Diplomats will serve as ambassadors to Burundi,” he said. “Rome or London will be reserved for friends.”

Foxconn, a major supplier of Apple's iPhones, said the impact of China's Covid lockdowns on its operations wasn't as bad as expected, Nikkei Asia reported Tuesday. In late March, China ordered a series of lockdowns in some major cities after it saw a surge in coronavirus cases. The comments don't necessarily mean Apple is totally in the clear from supply-chain constraints caused by Covid-19 lockdowns, or chip shortages, but it suggests the situation is at least improving for iPhone manufacturing. Apple's iPhone business generated $50.57 billion in revenue during Q2, a bulk of its $97.28 billion total revenue.

REUTERS/Valentyn OgirenkoLONDON, May 31 (Reuters) - In underground vaults near Ukraine's battlefields, the genetic code for nearly 2,000 crops is in danger of being permanently destroyed. The risk came into sharp focus earlier this month when a research facility near Ukraine's national seed bank was damaged, according to Crop Trust, a non profit organisation set up by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation. The facility and Ukraine's seed bank are both based in Kharkiv, northeastern Ukraine, which has come under intense bombing from Russia forces. "It would be a tragic loss if Ukraine's seed bank were destroyed." The director of the seed bank could not be reached, Ukraine's academy of science declined to comment and Russia's defence ministry did not immediately reply to request for commment on the damage.

Abortion pills, which can be ordered online and delivered by mail, have already fundamentally changed reproductive rights in America. People of color, immigrants, those who live in rural areas, and teenagers are disproportionately unlikely to have access to abortion pills, says Upadhyay. Nearly two-thirds of the first 3,200 patients who have received abortion pills in Upadhyay’s study are white, compared to the national population of abortion patients, which is about 40% white. And while lawmakers have otherwise traditionally targeted abortion providers rather than patients, abortion pills—which patients can get by mail or can order online without a doctor’s involvement—complicate that dynamic. An ad promoting an event last month training people on medication abortion and self-managed abortion was rejected for the same reason.

Pedestrian deaths in the U.S. reached a count not seen in 40 years. A spokesperson for the association cited multiple factors that contribute to pedestrian deaths: dangerous driving, the lack of pedestrian infrastructure such as sidewalks, road designs that prioritize speed, vehicle size and weight, and the weather. Fatalities increased in all but 13 states, including California, Maryland and Missouri, from 2020 to 2021. According to a GHSA analysis, states in the Southwest and South have the most deaths when adjusted for population. The increase in pedestrian deaths comes amid a surge in roadway fatalities, which Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has called a crisis.

An investigation found the handgun and rifle were “airsoft guns,” which resemble typical firearms and shoot nonlethal, plastic pellets. His arrest came one day after a 10-year-old fifth grader in Lee County, Florida, was arrested on a charge of making a written threat to conduct a mass shooting. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said it learned of a “threatening text message” sent by a student at an elementary school, culminating with the boy's arrest. “This student’s behavior is sickening, especially after the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas,” Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement.

Some of the team Zhuhan and Romanova knew but the commanders were not at the station.

Shanghai counted just 29 new COVID cases on Monday, well below the roughly 20,000 a day it was recording in April. The U.S. is averaging 109,105 cases a day, up 14% from two weeks ago, according to a New York Times tracker. But cases are flattening in states in the Northeast that were recent hot spots, including New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island.

The supply crunch could accelerate the plans of some legacy auto firms to switch to a new generation of lighter, machine-made harnesses designed for electric vehicles, according to interviews with more than a dozen industry players and experts.

The 1972 attack on the airport was suspected to be a joint operation between the PFLP and the Japanese Red Army.

I have shared many great times, enriched friendships, grown personally and gained an even greater appreciation for the natural world in that forest.

An Ohio man drowned Sunday in a Lenawee County lake while on a Memorial Day weekend trip with family, police said. Thomas O'Leary, 39 of Sylvania, Ohio, was about to go tubing with his daughter before they both fell off the tube and into Devil's Lake in Manitou Beach near the Ohio border, according to a press release from the Lenawee County Sheriff's Office. Alcohol was not a factor in the incident, police said, and all children were wearing life vests while the man was not. O'Leary's family were on the trip with another family and rented a cottage on the lake, the release said. The dive team was assisted by Michigan State Police, the Toledo, Addison and Somerset fire departments and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

Upper Arlington City Council is expected to determine this month if the use of synthetic pesticides and herbicides will be permitted as part of a new turf-management policy for athletic fields at city parks. Under the proposal, those chemicals are "necessary tools" to enable Parks and Recreation staff to provide "quality athletic fields" to the community. "We are talking about the athletic fields of our parks, with a small buffer and not the entire area of the park," McLaughlin said. "Historically, Upper Arlington has been a leader in its environmental stewardship of its parks and sports fields with minimal to no use of synthetic pesticides," said Matt Petersen, a board member. Petersen added that the advisory board prefers the city continue to focus on the soils at its park athletic fields and issues that affect drainage, as opposed to using chemicals to treat them.

“What you need,” they said, “is a smart watch. If I don’t stop them, the watch crew will call the squad, and there’s no calling them back.

It's been about 70 years, but Jill Kuyper still can remember attending kindergarten class in what was then the relatively new Kindergarten Annex building. Kuyper added that the annex building was a place where she felt comfortable. "The annex building has served us well over the decades," Culp said. The project to complete the new parking lot will be on a fast track, Culp said. "The thing that stands out for me is that it was a school built expressly for kindergarten-aged children," she said.

SLOVIANSK, Ukraine — Russian forces in a “frenzied push” have seized half of the eastern Ukrainian city of Sievierodonetsk that is key to Moscow’s efforts to quickly complete the capture of the industrial Donbas region, the mayor told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “The city is essentially being destroyed ruthlessly block by block,” Oleksandr Striuk said. Evacuation efforts from Sievierodonetsk have been halted because of shelling. Military analysts described the fight for Sievierodonetsk as part of a race against time for the Kremlin. In neighboring Luhansk, two people were killed and four were wounded by shelling, Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai said Tuesday on Telegram.

PUERTO ESCONDIDO, Mexico — Hurricane Agatha made history as the strongest hurricane ever recorded to come ashore in May during the eastern Pacific hurricane season, making landfall on a sparsely populated stretch of small beach towns and fishing villages in southern Mexico. Agatha was downgraded to a tropical depression by Tuesday morning, with sustained winds down to 35 mph (55 kph). Heavy rain and big waves lashed the beach town of Zipolite, long known for its clothing-optional beach and bohemian vibe. “There is a lot of rain and sudden gusts of strong wind,” said Silvia Ranfagni, manager of the Casa Kalmar hotel in Zipolite. It was the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in May in the eastern Pacific, said Jeff Masters, meteorologist with Yale Climate Connections and the founder of Weather Underground.

Authorities on Tuesday released the names of two women missing near Bosher's Dam. Henrico police in a statement said they are Lauren E. Winstead, 23, of Henrico County, and Sarah E. Erway, 28, of Chesterfield County. Our earlier story ...Two women are missing after a group of 12 people went over a dam in the James River on Monday afternoon. RFD's first boat went into the water at 3:22 p.m., where alongside civilian kayakers, the fire department was able to rescue and account for 10 people. Nine of those individuals were taken to a reunification center at Station 25 to meet with family members.

In March and April of 2020, as the coronavirus spread and people isolated in their homes, a doctor in San Diego boasted that he had his hands on a “miracle cure,” according to prosecutors — hydroxychloroquine. But Staley had a way of getting it, he later told an undercover federal agent. Staley was sentenced last week to 30 days in prison and a year of home confinement for the scheme. According to prosecutors, federal agents began looking into Staley after concerned customers alerted the FBI to the marketing emails from Skinny Beach Med Spa. “It’s preventive and curative,” Staley said to the undercover agent, court documents show.

The then non-professional actor Martin LaSalle was cast by Bresson as Michel, a gloomy young man who spends his days writing his journal in a seedy bedsit: a precursor for the prison cell for which he is destined. (Michel is clearly an ancestor of Paul Schrader’s insomniac malcontents, but with his own monkish austerity.) Who could go back to working for a living after the fierce existential thrill of stealing from someone? After the intimate ecstasy, the almost sensual caress of the fingers inside the stranger’s pocket at the bar, the Métro, the racetrack? Or is stealing from strangers his idea of redemption after the unspeakable shame of stealing from his own mother?

It’s a motto that some UK drill rappers have adopted with gusto, leaving fans to question whether it’s harming or helping the genre. Another handy aspect of the sample drill craze, for labels at least, is that they make money from the royalties if they own the rights to the original sample as well as the new song. A strategy of throwing shit (J-Lo samples) at the wall (Spotify playlists) until it sticks (is Top 20 good enough?) Some of these new songs sample guilty pleasures. Tion Wayne has a new, coldly non-pop track out with Giggs this week.

Swiss customs authorities have discovered an antique Japanese samurai sword made nearly 700 years ago, after it was smuggled into the country. The Federal Office for Customs and Border Security said the katana sword, dated to 1353 and valued at €650,000 (£550,000), was found in a car with Swiss plates during a routine search near Zurich. The driver, accompanied by his daughter, had not registered the objects at the Thayngen border crossing from Germany, officials said. Following the investigation, regional authorities imposed fines of more than 6,000 Swiss francs (£4,960) on the employer. The customs authorities said they had collected nearly 54,000 Swiss francs in VAT from the driver, who faced up to 800,000 francs in further fines.

Two years later John Paul II gave Sodano the top job in the Vatican, Secretary of State, creating him a Cardinal soon afterwards. A frequent visitor to Legionary headquarters, Sodano was also on the receiving end of Maciel’s (a fabled fundraiser’s) generosity. Despite the fact that Sodano had been Maciel’s point man in the Vatican, his career did not suffer. The Dean was Cardinal Ratzinger, which meant that Sodano had to fulfil the role of Dean in the Papal election after Ratzinger was elected Pope. Despite the fact that all offices in the Vatican lapse on the death of a Pope, Ratzinger, as Benedict XVI, reconfirmed Cardinal Sodano as Secretary of State and also approved his election as Dean of the College of Cardinals.

A sperm donor who fathered 15 children despite having a rare genetic condition that causes low IQ is a “victim of his own kind heart”, his family have claimed. However, he was unmasked in a rare move by a High Court judge after he demanded access to some of the children. Mrs Justice Lieven, sitting in the Family Division of the High Court in Derby, named him in a bid to stop other women from using him as a sperm donor. “I was shocked because we didn’t even know he had a girlfriend and then he told me he was a sperm donor and I thought it was one and couldn’t believe it was any more. She also said he should be named to stop other women from using him as a sperm donor, adding: “I have no confidence that he will not act as a sperm donor in the future.

The Kremlin has spent $10m on technology to get around its own bans on accessing Western websites, according to new figures. Since the February invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s public sector has spent millions on virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow users to bypass internet restrictions on certain websites. A new analysis of public contracts placed by Russian state agencies reveals how much the country has spent getting around its own internet blocks. VPNs operate by routing users’ web traffic through special digital tunnels that help disguise its true origin and destination. Critics of VPNs say operators of such services gain valuable insights into, and, potentially, control over, customers’ web browsing habits.

Donald Trump Jr has published a scathing rant video about how the Uvalde shooter could have killed the same number of people using a bat. “They’ll blame it on the guns, they’ll blame it on everything because no one can possibly take responsibility for their actions,” he said. “He wouldn’t have done the exact same thing with a bat, or a bomb, or some sort of improvised device?"

For all our cakes and buns and comforting stews, our pies and potatoes and mad fixation with putting everything and anything on toast, Britain is a country that runs on breakfast. Without wanting to get too Nigel Farage about it, our breakfasts are clearly world class – superficially celebrated yet rarely given the respect they deserve. It’s the one thing that truly unites this fractured country. However we vote, whichever team we support, even if we rarely eat before noon, we’re an island of breakfast worshippers next to a continent largely content with a coffee and a pastry on the hoof. While I’m not saying breakfast is the national religion I might go as far as to call it a cult.

PETA has urged people to stop buying corgis, the Queen's iconic favourite breed of pup, warning of their potentially serious health issues. "They have serious health issues and purchasing them supports breeders who churn out litter after litter for profit. Corgis were first associated with the Queen in the 1940s, when Susan (the Queen's first Pembroke Corgi) was born. In fact, numerous corgi campaigns have been released in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee, including a "PJ the corgi" emoji and a corgi trail treasure hunt. Some commenters also made reference to the health issues of other breeds, such as pugs and boxers, who are well-known to struggle with breathing as a result of inbreeding.

A miniature display of the royal family – including a Lego replica of the Queen which took 15 hours to build – has been unveiled at Legoland Windsor to mark the platinum jubilee. The display took Legoland Windsor’s model makers around 282 hours to build, using more than 18,000 individual bricks. Chief model maker Paula Laughton said the team had “pulled out all the stops” to mark the jubilee. The Red Arrows have also been created in Lego, with nine planes, which were built by one model maker over 33 hours, flying down The Mall towards Buckingham Palace. Ms Laughton said: “The royal connection between Windsor and Her Majesty meant that our model maker team had to pull out all the stops to mark this monumental occasion here in Miniland.

The Queen has returned to London ahead of her platinum jubilee celebrations this weekend, after spending a short break at her Balmoral home in Scotland. Her Majesty was spotted arriving at Aberdeen Airport today to fly back to London, after arriving in Scotland on Thursday. Her return comes just days before celebrations for the Queen’s platinum jubilee are set to begin, which will kick off with the Trooping the Colour parade on Thursday, followed by the lighting of the platinum jubilee beacons on Thursday night. However, earlier this month Buckingham Palace said that the Queen’s attendance at these events would likely only be confirmed the day-of. She also tested positive for coronavirus in February this year, just after she marked her 70th year on the throne on 6 February.

As the decision on Roe v. Wade draws near, many abortion activists fear what could happen next to patients who visit abortion clinics, especially given the harassment patients face already. Already, anti-abortion organizations show up at clinics like Planned Parenthood, stand outside attempting to harass patients out of an abortion, and protest abortions with graphic images on signs. One pro-choice organization, Charlotte For Choice, posts videos on their TikTok page showing how intimidating anti-abortion activists can be to patients visiting a clinic. Mobley told MIT Technology Review, that sometimes anti-abortion activists will offer free WiFi to visitors under the name 'abortion info' that immediately brings up a webpage filled with anti-abortion material. #VenmoSpringBreak #macysownyourstyle #AerieREAL #clinicescort #clinicdefender #40WeeksOfHarassmentDefenders like Mobley fear that should Roe v. Wade be overturned, many of the surveillance tactics anti-abortion activists use could be used in court.

By Alistair SmoutLONDON – Cancelled flights, long queues and staff shortages have disrupted the travel plans of British holidaymakers during the half-term break, a grim sign of possible summer strife for a global sector battling to rebound from a two-year COVID slump. “We believe this is necessary to provide stability and a better customer service at Manchester Airport,” TUI said after cancelling flights at the northern English airport. A spokesperson for London’s Heathrow airport – Britain’s busiest – said there were queues but that the airport was “flowing”, while at Gatwick airport a spokesperson said “the airport is operating normally today but will be busy”. In Ireland, Dublin airport descended into chaos on Sunday when more than a thousand passengers missed flights as staff shortages forced travellers to queue for hours to pass through security. In Sweden, the CEO of airport operator Swedavia has been summoned to parliament to answer questions about long queues at Stockholm’s Arlanda airport.

A nine-year-old girl has woken up from a coma after being brutally attacked by a cougar at a Washington state campsite. The little girl was airlifted to the hospital, where she underwent 'several hours of surgery' and had to be intubated, her uncle Alex Mantsevich wrote on GoFundMe. 'She’s definitely a fortunate little girl, and as she said in her own words, brave and tough,' Lehman told KIRO 7. The little girl was airlifted to the hospital where she underwent 'several hours of surgery' and had to intubated. Washington state records show cougar attacks are rare and only around 20 attacks have led to human injuries.

AdvertisementThe lost city of 'Zakhiku' has resurfaced after spending decades underwater in the Mosul reservoir on the River Tigris in Iraq. References to this city appear in historic records dating to around 1800 BC, suggesting that it stood in the Tigris River Valley for at least four centuries. AdvertisementThe extensive ancient metropolis is located in Kemune in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and once sat on the River Tigris. Construction of the Mosul dam took place between 1981 and 1984, and the following spring it began to inundate the Tigris river and fill the reservoir. Some clay tablets, which may be letters, were found still in their clay envelopes and are being translated.

The collection spans the entire history of the US tech giantWarsaw (AFP) – A new museum opening in a former metalworking factory in Warsaw brings together 1,600 exhibits linked to Apple -- the result of years of painstaking efforts by a determined Polish collector. Advertising Read more"It is the biggest and most complete Apple collection in the world," boasted Jacek Lupina, a 56-year-old architect, who amassed the collection spanning the entire history of the US tech giant. The museum is housed in Fabryka Norblina, a red-brick factory from the early 19th century in central Warsaw which has been turned into a retail and entertainment space. Two hundred models of the Apple 1 were produced and sold at the time for $666.66 (620 euros) each.

A right to abortion, Justice Samuel Alito correctly points out in his leaked (and, as yet, unofficial) opinion overruling Roe v Wade, is mentioned nowhere in the constitutional text. Each is protected as a “substantive due process” right. That might provide grounds for an abortion right at least through the first trimester. It may require more ingenuity to erase one without making others vulnerable to the Supreme Court shredder. Why abortion rights are under threat in AmericaWho is Ketanji Brown Jackson, Joe Biden’s Supreme Court pick?

The risk came into sharp focus earlier this month when a research facility near Ukraine’s national seed bank was damaged, according to Crop Trust, a nonprofit organization set up by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. The facility and Ukraine’s seed bank are both based in Kharkiv, northeastern Ukraine, which has come under intense bombing from Russia forces. Reuters could not determine the cause of the damage and Crop Trust said only that the research facility had been hit, but declined to give further detail, citing security regions. “It would be a tragic loss if Ukraine’s seed bank were destroyed.”The director of the seed bank could not be reached, Ukraine’s academy of science declined to comment and Russia’s defense ministry did not immediately reply to request for comment on the damage.

When we moved to a new city several Junes ago, Zach and I were excited to meet new friends and make the area feel like home. So even before we finished unboxing our belongings, we made sure to attend some of the local LGBTQ Pride events. We watched as hundreds of our new neighbors in solid-colored T-shirts marched through the historic downtown in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, forming a rainbow as long as the parade itself. We stopped by the open-air marketplace to sample food and drinks from local vendors. And later that evening we enjoyed live music and nightlife complete with thumping dance beats and drag queens.

Courts rejected the cases and election officials were unconvinced, thwarting a stunning assault on the transfer of power. Some former election officials say they are hopeful that when election skeptics observe the process they may finally be convinced that the system is sound. Asked about her project at the Pennsylvania training, Ms. Mitchell declined an interview request and asked a reporter to leave. This year, its multimillion-dollar investment includes hiring 18 state “election integrity” directors and 19 state “election integrity” lawyers. Ms. Mitchell is no doubt connecting with some of the fringe groups and ideas some in the party once avoided.

It’s still uncertain how effective using psilocybin to treat addiction is in the long-term and whether some individuals are more likely to benefit than others. Still, many experts hungry for new addiction therapies say that psilocybin represents a new and potentially exciting treatment for people suffering from a disease that is difficult to address. Long after the short-term withdrawals have waned, people suffering from addiction often face living without the stress release valve that their habit gave them. Some experts say psilocybin addresses that psychological need. Back in the psychedelic heyday of the 1950s and 1960s, such drugs were evaluated for treating depression and addiction with mixed results.

When The New York Times surveyed 1,320 mental health professionals in November, nine out of 10 therapists said the number of people seeking care was on the rise. During a Senate committee hearing in February to address the nation’s growing mental health and substance abuse problem, Senator Patty Murray of Washington noted that nearly 130 million Americans live in places with less than one mental health care provider per 30,000 people. Even therapists can have trouble finding help. Thomas Armstrong, a clinical psychologist in eastern Washington, waited more than a year to get treatment for his youngest child, who was 2 when they started searching. If you are looking for a mental health care provider, don’t give up — there are several strategies that can help.

Why do people think cold water is key? There are several reasons to think that cold water might provide mental health benefits.

Researchers know more about the dangers of cold water than its potential therapeutic effects.

You don't need travel insurance to protect some vacation expenses, like flight cancellations. Travel insurance, however, can cover a lot more than what you invested in your trip, particularly for medical emergencies. If you opt for travel insurance, it's crucial to read the fine print to see what's actually covered. With the unofficial start of summer and after more than two years of pandemic uncertainty, travelers are ready to get away – regardless of high prices. Americans are expected to spend, on average, $2,644 on summer vacations, 30% more than in 2019, according to the latest Vacation Confidence Index from insurance providers Allianz Partners USA.

I also knew I had to go cold turkey; moderation not only required a massive amount of energy, it failed me every time. I still felt anxiety because I am an anxious person, but I wasn’t choking on it. If something was negatively received, or I lost people, I was consumed by anxiety and felt compelled to “fix” it. The more I posted, the less I felt like my true self. And “the here and now” is where the true self lives.

Mounting evidence shows caffeine lovers who drink coffee daily are less likely to die early compared to those who don’t, a new study suggests. Ultimately, they discovered that those who drank unsweetened coffee regularly were 15 to 21% less likely to die than the participants who didn’t. The study also found that people who drank between one and four cups of lightly sweetened coffee every day were 29 to 31% less likely to die. Getty ImagesResearchers studied 171,616 participants with an average age of 55.6 years, looking at people who drank unsweetened, sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened coffee. Drinking too much coffee can not only cause the jitters but also insomnia, increased heart rate and more.

But first …Medicare enrollees will have to wait until next year for premium reliefSeniors won't see cheaper Medicare premiums until next year, after a steep cut in the price and expected use of a controversial Alzheimer’s drug. But it would be too heavy a lift to reduce the cost of premiums midyear, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services concluded. It’s now possible a reduction in premiums for Medicare Part B, which covers doctor visits for seniors, could be announced before the Nov. 8 midterm elections. More from CMS:CMS has released a report that recommends savings from lower-than-expected Medicare Part B spending be passed to Medicare beneficiaries in 2023.

It was the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in May in the eastern Pacific, said Jeff Masters, meteorologist with Yale Climate Connections and the founder of Weather Underground.

Wellness The troubled legacy of feminine care products Washes and wipes remain popular, especially among Black women, even though doctors say they are unnecessary and potentially harmful. Diamond Redden, a Honey Pot customer, has used different intimate care products off and on, including vaginal douches, since she started menstruating. In a more recent study of about 350 women aged 18 to 34 in California, Black people also reported using intimate care products, including douches, more than other women. But the market has since become dominated by other intimate care products, such as external washes and wipes. Redden, who spends about $300 a month on Honey Pot’s menstrual pads, wipes and washes, said she wasn’t aware of the history behind intimate care products, nor did she know that doctors often don’t recommend them.

As a result of the rising needs, 2 in 3 schools increased the types or amount of mental health services available, the survey found. Almost all schools — 96 percent — provided at least some school-based mental health services, most commonly from a school counselor or licensed mental health provider employed by the school system. The survey found that mental health needs were acute not just for students, but for school employees, too. About 3 in 10 schools reported an increase in workers seeking school-based mental health services, and 6 in 10 reported a rise in staffers’ concern over their own or their colleagues’ mental health. Some schools responded to these heightened needs by providing additional professional development on mental health and more time to prepare for classes.

Boston police issued a warning Monday noting "numerous social media posts" from various people claiming they were victims of drink spiking at local bars over the Memorial Day weekend. The Boston Police Department issued a statement reminding the public of "the dangerousness of scentless, colorless and tasteless drugs" such as Rohypnol, also known as roofie, or other drugs such as GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) or Ketamine, "being placed in the drinks of unsuspecting victims." The warning said to use your hand or other items to cover drinks and to test drinks with test strips or nail polish that light up a certain color if they detect drugs. Individuals are urged to get help immediately if they begin to feel dizzy, nauseated, light-headed or strange in any way. Boston police also noted the November 2021 advisory issued by the Licensing Board for the City of Boston regarding safety concerns for nightclub owners and other licensed establishments.

As employers — especially those in financial services, consulting and law — attempt once again to summon workers back to offices this year, a sense of dread is common among AAPI women, according to Jo-Ann Yoo, executive director of the Asian American Federation. Then in March, seven AAPI women were assaulted during a two-hour spree in Manhattan. "This is a bittersweet time, because our issues are finally getting some attention," said Cynthia Choi, a San Francisco-based activist who co-founded Stop AAPI Hate. "There is a part of me that's like, 'Why do Asian women have to die for us to take these issues seriously?' `Even in broad daylight'The experiences of a half-dozen AAPI women living in New York, Chicago and San Francisco varied widely.

Below, we chat with Paige Lavender, news director at HuffPost, about why you’ll want to put Lewisburg, West Virginia, on your bucket list. It’s close to where the West Virginia State Fair takes place, and it’s home to a lot of events and businesses my family frequents. You can definitely walk most of the historic downtown area, but as with all of West Virginia, it’s a little hilly. Unless you’re going to the West Virginia State Fair, I’d avoid going that week, as the town gets a little crowded then. Also, it’s so easy to get around West Virginia with a car and there are so many other great spots within a short drive of Lewisburg.

She would shout and swear at him, while trying to physically block him from leaving the house they shared. She said a witness to the attack called the Kotenkos to let them know Russian soldiers had killed Volodymyr. By hand, they carried the bits of Volodymyr’s body that they were able to scrape out from the car and walked 9 miles back to their home. Back at their house, the Kotenkos packaged Volodymyr’s body parts into white tarps, dug a grave in their back garden and said goodbye to their son. Olga said she didn’t need a prosecutor to tell her that the killing of Volodymyr was a war crime.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Wes Moore, a Democratic candidate for governor of Maryland, announced Monday that he has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Moore, 43, who is seeking the Democratic party’s nomination, revealed on Twitter that he is infected but asymptomatic. “I’m isolating and working from home and eager to be back on the campaign trail ASAP,” Moore wrote. Moore was the chief executive officer of the Robin Hood Foundation, an anti-poverty non-profit, from 2017 to 2021. He is the author of the 2010 non-fiction book, “The Other Wes Moore,” a story of two men with the same name whose lives followed different paths.

That is the idea behind nasal COVID-19 vaccines, and they have been getting a lot of attention recently as a spray or liquid. These nasal vaccines would be based on the same technology as normal vaccines given by injection. More accurately called intranasal vaccines, these vaccines are liquids that can be given as a spray or through a dropper or syringe. So in theory, intranasal vaccines could provide better protection than vaccines given through a shot in the arm. This was first published by The Conversation — “Nasal COVID-19 vaccines help the body prepare for infection right where it starts – in your nose and throat“.

Since the Ray doesn’t have a mic for voice assistants, you don’t need to worry about whether it can hear you if you place it in a media stand, either. There’s also an LED status light on the front, rather than on the top as it is on most Sonos speakers. This uses the microphone on an iPhone or iPad to balance the speaker’s audio based on how your room sounds. While the Ray is meant to be hooked up to your TV, it’s also a capable music speaker. The only real feature it’s missing compared to most other Sonos speakers is voice control.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter is still pushing boundaries long after its first Mars liftoff. As CNET notes, the space agency has shared video of Ingenuity's milestone 25th flight on April 8th, when it broke duration and speed records. The footage you see below was sped up to cut the viewing time to 35 seconds. The navigation camera switches off whenever Ingenuity is within three feet of the Martian surface to prevent dust from interfering with the navigation system. It's currently preparing for a 29th flight following a brief scare in early May, when the mission team lost communication after the helicopter switched to a low-power state.

Police body cameras and facial recognition technology serve two completely different purposes and shouldn’t be combined. Even the tech companies that make the software discourage or bar its use in police body cameras, on ethical grounds. California lawmakers recognized the obvious dangers in 2019 when they adopted a three-year ban on using facial recognition software with body cam images. In other states, the use of facial recognition technology has resulted in multiple wrongful arrests and racial profiling. Facial recognition software has no proper place in that relationship.

The same study that tested emissions around stoves in homes raised new concerns about indoor air quality and health because of levels of nitrogen oxides measured. That methane is on top of the 6.8 million tons (6.2 million metric tons) of carbon dioxide that gas stoves emit into the air when they are in use and the gas is burned, the study said. And what was surprising was that three-quarters of the methane released happened while the stoves were off, Jackson said. Jackson estimated that when all natural gas use and extraction is taken into account, about 100 million tons (91 million metric tons) of gas leaks into the atmosphere. And the couple million tons from gas stoves “is meaningful.

Methane emissions from gas stoves across the United States are roughly equivalent to the carbon dioxide released by half a million gas-powered cars in a year, it reports. But as California seeks to reduce emissions, purchases of induction stoves will likely surge. “But every time you turn on a gas stove, the air quality goes way down.

High pressure moving into northwest Oregon should bring plenty of sunshine and warmer temperatures Tuesday. Morning clouds should clear away before lunchtime, and Portland should see a high of about 77 degrees. Wednesday could start with patchy fog followed by increasing high clouds as marine air seeps into the valleys.

There’s a slight chance of valley thunderstorms, but most of that action should remain in the Cascade mountains.

Four people were killed in a one-car crash in Thompson Monday, capping a particularly deadly and hazardous Memorial Day Weekend.

Mongolia, a squeezed outpost of democracy in north-east Asia, is under renewed pressure from its authoritarian neighbours, Russia and China, to shed its independence and form a triangle of anti-western cooperation in the wake of the war in Ukraine. A Soviet satellite state until 1990, and heavily dependent on China as a market and conduit for its copper and coal exports, Mongolia has to tread carefully. However, its governing Mongolian People’s party is attending briefings given by United Russia, the biggest party in Russia – which has been interpreted in Russia as support for the war. This pipeline would increase Mongolia’s dependence on Russia by taking gas from Siberia’s Yamal fields and allowing Russia to transport gas originally destined for Europe to find a new market in China. Once in charge of one of her country’s largest independent broadcasters, Chinbat said Mongolia would not backslide from democracy.

Wherever you’re living la dolce vita, however, cheese makes a very good starting point for no-cook dinners. “I might take mozzarella or fresh ricotta and some prosciutto, then add seasonal vegetables or even fruit,” says Davies, who dresses the lot with olive oil. That does involve some cooking, admittedly, but she eats it at room temperature, so it’s sanctioned (no arguing, please). The night before, make a tomato sauce: saute sofrito (onion, celery, carrot) in olive oil, then add a bottle of passata. Stir the mix a few times to break up the bread, and it will get creamy.” Finish with a generous glug of olive oil, black pepper and basil.

The fantasy of opening your wardrobe to find neat rows of colour-coded shirts, jackets and pants is pretty universal. In fact, in two separate, strange fashion jobs I’ve been paid by a superior to organise theirs. Visibility is keyA well-organised wardrobe should make getting dressed easier.

Increased processing power in modern consoles and PCs, and a shift away from the design sensibilities of linear arcade games, led to a new generation of ‘open world’ experiences. Fast-forward 25 years and the open world genre is no longer radical or daring – it’s pretty much the standard. Last week, a controversy blew up on social media when one frustrated gamer tweeted, “STOP MAKING OPEN WORLD GAMES. But open world games can be too baggy and obtuse with these rules, or the narrative is set almost at odds with the world. Open world games need to evolve beyond the conventions with which players are now desperately familiar.

Yet Lish Jr’s other credentials were nearly as unique: in place of the usual creative writing degree and magazine credits, he listed past jobs as a removal man, builder, factory worker, security guard and (briefly) a marine. His equally formidable new novel likewise draws power from plunging into lives most writers ignore. Closer to home, there’s his estranged father, Leonard, a security guard who drifts back into Gloria’s orbit in the wake of her diagnosis, but seemingly to sponge rather than help. We know right from the start where this gruelling story must go, yet in Lish’s universe even death brings no respite: any glimmer of release only ever heralds just another tightening of the screw. You can’t look away: what begins as a pulverising portrait of the financial and emotional jeopardy of terminal illness morphs, by the end, into a gothically horrific tale of predatory manipulation.

Alex Liu’s documentary has the easy relatability of a YouTube video; the difference is, instead of unboxing some latest haul, Liu attempts to demystify the shame that surrounds sex in America. A conversation with his parents reveals that, when they were teenagers, their access to sex education was even more inadequate than Liu’s. Maintaining a balance between scientific reporting and personal anecdotes, A Sexplanation pairs Liu’s interviews with sexperts – including his participation in a study that makes MRI scans of orgasms – with playful stunts. At one point, illustrations of sex organs are erected at a park where passersby are asked to identify different parts of the genitalia. However, in fashioning a call for better sex education in the American school system, Liu is an enjoyably charismatic guide, as his doubts and questions about the birds and the bees mirror many of our own.

Here is an elegant and ruminative dual narrative from Mia Hansen-Løve, a parallel romance concerning monogamy and its discontents. It’s intriguingly autobiographical and the Bergman-adjacent discussion and ambience creates something instantly serious, although the effect is also sometimes self-conscious and desiccated. Tim Roth and Vicky Krieps play Tony and Chris, a renowned film director and his screenwriter spouse who have come here for a creative retreat. Chris wants to tell Tony about the script she’s having trouble with: he is unhelpful and distracted, but nonetheless we see Chris’s movie idea dramatised on screen. The movie ends with a flourish of the sort Almódovar could have created, although this has less primary-colour exuberance.

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I took my daughter to a paediatrician in Philadelphia for her one-year checkup. It was all very routine until, squeezed between a discussion about weaning and a question about baby gates, the paediatrician asked if we had a gun in the house. “They’re not used to guns.” The paediatrician gave a sad smile. In 2010, a woman in Florida was outraged over her kids’ doctor asking this “invasive” question, and helped set into motion a years-long legal saga known as “the docs versus the glocks”. If a doctor did raise the gun question, they risked losing their licence, and a $10,000 fine.

Clearly the climate crisis is a pressing mattter of life or death and the future of all humanity. Figures showing nitrous usage were only provided from one hospital in the press release, so we have no way of knowing whether they’re widely indicative, but they showed that 62% of patients used nitrous during labour. “At planetary scale, the relative impact of nitrous oxide use in labour wards isn’t irrelevant, but it is very, very small. He told me nitrous is mostly used to alleviate fear and anxiety in children but it is used more broadly too. While the report in itself may not be “incorrect” in any way, it feels like the lowest hanging, cheap-as-chips fruit.

Three decades after the abortion pill became available to women in the UK, Japan is inching closer to approving the drug – but there is a catch. Under the new law, it is expected that it will only be prescribed with the consent of the woman’s partner. Legislation to approve medical abortion pills is winding its way through Japan’s Diet after British pharmaceutical company Linepharma International applied last year to market a combination of two drugs for the purposes of abortion. They point out that medical abortion - which can be used to terminate a pregnancy in the early stages without surgery - has been available in many parts of the world for decades. Questioned by a parliamentary committee earlier this month, a health ministry bureaucrat stated that the standards required for a surgical abortion under the 1948 Maternal Protection Law should be applied to the morning-after pill.

However, the summer months can prove to be a unique time to visit the mountains and enjoy time on the pistes in the world’s highest ski resorts, while the masses flock to the coast. Generally set at 2,500m or higher, these glacier ski areas benefit from the low temperatures at altitude, especially at night, so you can expect smooth groomed runs in the morning, soft slushy bumps later on. Definitely – glaciers are great places to hone skills on summer ski courses, most hosting ski racers and freestylers during the summer. Independent providers such as The Warren Smith Ski Academy, Snoworks and the European Ski & Snowboard School all run courses for British skiers. Many work in tandem with a separate visitor pass that gives access to a whole range of summer activities.

For anyone who spent much of their childhood being practically force fed by their friends’ parents, it was all too much to compute. Further confirmation of the curious Swedish custom – also common in other Scandinavian nations, it transpires – was provided by a couple of residents of Malmo.

Roman Kemp has been diagnosed with sleep apnoea, a disorder that causes a person’s breathing to stop and start while they are asleep.

Sleep apnoea occurs when your airways become too narrow while you sleep, which stops you from breathing properly. This in turn can improve the quality of your sleep and reduce the risk of problems linked to sleep apnoea.

A rare silver Roman penis pendant unearthed on a farm in Kent has been described as a “significant national find” and classified as treasure. The silver penis measured at 1.2 inches long (31mm) and weighed just 0.3 ounces (9.7 grams). Out of the previous 451 phallic objects from Roman Britain recorded, only one other is silver – a dual-sided pendant from the Caerleon bathhouse, also featuring testes. Throughout the Roman period, the penis was seen as a sign of power and virility so phallic imagery was commonly expressed in artwork. Hundreds of phallic objects from the Roman period have been found in Britain, but most are made of copper.

There is a new fastest computer in the world – and it is so quick that it requires a new word to describe it. The Frontier system at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory is now the fastest computer on the Top500 list, which ranks the most powerful in the world. The supercomputer is not only the fastest in the world, but easily so. As well as top ranking on the Top500 list, Frontier also took the top spot on the Green500 list, which ranks supercomputing systems according to how efficient they are. The Frontier computer is not only the most powerful one in existence, but the first to break through the “exaflop ceiling”, and become the first “exascale” machine.

The mystery as to why the red supergiant star Betelgeuse experienced a massive dip in brightness two years ago may finally have been solved. It is a reddish variable star just 642 light years from Earth and is also known as Alpha Orionis. AdvertisementBut data from the satellite Himawari-8 supports ground-based observations that the Great Dimming was caused both by the star cooling by about 284°F (140°C) and dust condensing from warm gas around it. The optical and infrared wavelengths of light that the Himawari-8 satellite normally detects were ideal for studying the dimming. The researchers suggest that Betelgeuse's dimming was caused both by the star cooling by approximately 284°F (140°C), and by dust condensing from warm gas around it, in almost equal proportions.

Right now it’s part of a white-supremacist war cult. Minority rule perpetrates it, because just as the majority of Americans want abortion rights to stand, so do they want limits on access to guns. Gun culture reminds me of rape culture, specifically the conventions that hold the victims rather than the perpetrators responsible for limiting the violence. If guns are icons it’s because violence is a sacrament defended as a right and an identity. And the carnage will continue until the majority can overrule the minority in power that profits from and perpetrates it.

Dominion's voting machines have vulnerabilities, but there's no evidence they were hacked in GeorgiaGeorgia’s voting machines recorded votes properly – but they have hacking vulnerabilities that went undiscovered for years. The findings are from a recent review of the voting machines and represent a mixed bag for people concerned about foreign and domestic interference in U.S. elections. Most of the vulnerabilities are also quite difficult to exploit, requiring hands-on access to the voting machines. Such independent reviews are still relatively rare — and election security advocates warn vulnerabilities in other voting systems could still be waiting out there undiscovered. There’s no evidence U.S. adversaries have ever changed votes in an election, but Kremlin hackers penetrated voter rolls in at least two states in 2016.

That is the idea behind nasal COVID-19 vaccines, and they have been getting a lot of attention recently as a spray or liquid. These nasal vaccines would be based on the same technology as normal vaccines given by injection. More accurately called intranasal vaccines, these vaccines are liquids that can be given as a spray or through a dropper or syringe. So in theory, intranasal vaccines could provide better protection than vaccines given through a shot in the arm. This was first published by The Conversation — “Nasal COVID-19 vaccines help the body prepare for infection right where it starts – in your nose and throat“.

Panasonic and Leica have formed a new collaboration called L² (L squared) that will see them jointly develop cameras, lenses and imaging technology, they announced. Both companies are already part of the L-Mount mirrorless alliance (along with Sigma and Leitz) and Panasonic has loaned its camera tech to Leica. However, the new partnership goes deeper, as they'll use "jointly developed technologies" in their respective lens and camera products, while the L² branding will feature in future marketing activities. Meanwhile, Leica has a sterling reputation for lens quality, but gets far less respect for its mirrorless cameras because they're mostly rebadged, overpriced Panasonic models. By collaborating, Panasonic could gain some prestige off Leica's iconic reputation and lens quality, while Leica will get access to Panasonic's technological chops.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine government announced Tuesday a new diplomatic protest against China over disputes in the South China Sea, a long-thorny issue that has flared anew as the next Philippine president prepares to take office next month. Story continuesSeparately, Philippine foreign affairs officials said late Monday that the department summoned a Chinese diplomat in early April to protest alleged harassment by the Chinese coast guard of a research vessel in the South China Sea. The Filipino scientists reported the incident to the Philippine government, which deployed a coast guard patrol ship, the BRP Capones, to keep watch on the research vessel, the coast guard in Manila said last month. China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei have been locked in a tense territorial standoff in the busy waterway for decades. Chinese ships have also disrupted Philippine vessels exploring for undersea oil and gas in Reed Bank, Philippine officials said.

Because that’s what we do when we don’t speak up and take on excess work out of fear of letting people down. If we’re burning ourselves out to meet the impossible goals others impose on us, we risk letting them down anyway. The business is not going to shut down if you don’t work overtime. Unless your job is literally saving lives, the business is not going to shut down if you don’t work overtime. And besides, the act of saying no, especially when you realize that people won’t actually hate you for doing so, is pretty damn liberating.

Nearly all the wheat sold in Somalia comes from Ukraine and Russia, which have halted exports through the Black Sea since Moscow waged war on its neighbor on Feb. 24. The U.N. World Food Program says food shortages could worsen when the lean season arrives in late summer. Even the cost of therapeutic food for malnourished children could rise 16% over the next six months because of the war in Ukraine and disruptions related to the pandemic, UNICEF says. African countries imported 44% of their wheat from Russia and Ukraine between 2018 and 2020, according to U.N. figures. Meanwhile, Ukraine has accused Russia of looting both grain and farm equipment from territories held by its forces.

The weekend arrest of Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), on suspicion of driving under the influence came after the Porsche he was driving was hit by another vehicle in Northern California’s wine country, authorities said. Paul Pelosi, 82, was taken into custody shortly before midnight Saturday night in Napa County, according to a sheriff’s office online booking report. AdvertisementPelosi could face misdemeanor charges including driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher, the police booking report said. Nancy Pelosi on Sunday delivered the commencement address at Brown University in Providence, R.I. She and her husband have been married since 1963. Pelosi’s arrest was first reported by TMZ.

First conceived in the 1950s, the Sites Reservoir project was abandoned in the 1980s — the twilight years of America’s big Western dam-building projects. The reservoir, he said, was “something I’ve long supported.”The controversy has transformed the western Sacramento River valley into a battleground. A key hurdle to the project’s completion is whether or not the California Water Resources Control Board will grant the reservoir permission to divert Sacramento River water. In one of environmentalism’s emerging successes, the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge is on the rebound because of restoration efforts. Members of the Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority, a key participant in the reservoir project, don’t have to go far to find a lifeless signature of severe drought.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was arrested late Saturday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol after a collision, authorities said. Paul Pelosi, 82, was booked into Napa County Jail at around 4 a.m. Sunday for two misdemeanors, which included driving with a blood alcohol level above .08 percent. According to preliminary information shared Sunday night by the California Highway Patrol, CHP officers from its Napa unit responded at 10:26 p.m. to reports of a collision at Highway 29 and Walnut Road in Oakville. According to the CHP, Pelosi’s 2021 Porsche was traveling eastbound on Walnut and was crossing the highway when a 2014 Jeep traveling northbound on the highway struck it. Pelosi is a businessman and owner of Financial Leasing Services Inc., a Bay Area investment and real estate firm.

Colorado utilities are preparing for what’s shaping up to be a hotter-than-normal and relatively dry summer while regulators are assessing how to keep the lights and power on as the climate changes. “The availability of the extra energy that we sometimes depend on through the summer we know will be constrained,” Horvath said. “I wish I had a good, solid answer for you on that one,” said Russ Schumacher, the state climatologist and associate professor at Colorado State University. Black Hills Energy spokeswoman Ashley Campbell said the utility is aware of concerns about the adequacy of resources in the event of a hot summer.

All I can do is flush the toilet, wash my hands and walk away. Bob Hibberd, Woodburn

Ned Lamont signs a new law on abortion that is designed to protect medical providers and patients seeking abortion care in Connecticut who may be traveling from other states, such as Texas, that have outlawed abortion. Connecticut, he says, should follow 37 other states in requiring parental involvement before a minor can have an abortion. The elections in the fall will be based upon the economy.”The Connecticut legislature codified the Roe v. Wade ruling into state law three decades ago and recently passed another law prompted by abortion restrictions in states such as Texas. Stefanowski has been more low-key on the issue, declining to answer directly when asked if, as governor, he would have signed the same abortion law that Lamont signed. End of story.”Outside Connecticut, the Democratic Governors Association and other groups are raising money nationwide from the expected abortion ruling, saying that rights could be curtailed.

"So they (the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community) chose the unicorn because it is like a fantastic 'non-existent' creature." Ukraine and its allies call that a false pretext for a war of aggression. Some of the team Zhuhan and Romanova knew but the commanders were not at the station.

One of the Maids of Honour at the Queen’s Coronation was stunned after being reunited with her dress which had “seemed to disintegrate in one’s hands” before its restoration. The silk gown Lady Rosemary Spencer-Churchill wore on 2 June 1953 had suffered extreme sunlight exposure after years on display, causing the material to become “split and shattered”. Designed by Sir Norman Hartnell, who held the Royal Warrant as dressmaker to the Queen Mother, the garment remains a piece of British history. Ms Telford used support fabric with adhesive to bond the fragile silk of the dress and stabilise the damage. Textile conservator Emma Telford with the dress (Quest/PA)She said: “There’s really no option with an item that’s in that kind of condition.

A life-size woollen Queen created by a group of knitters for the Platinum Jubilee is proving a hit with locals. The knitted monarch and a pet corgi were installed in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, at the weekend and villagers have already been stopping to pose for pictures with Her Majesty ahead of the celebrations. They’ve also decorated the area with knitted bunting, chains, soldiers and post box toppers. Red, white and blue bollard covers, created by Holmes Chapel U3A, have also been added to brighten up the area. In New Brighton, Wirral, a knitted topper of the Queen and Windsor Castle has been placed on a post box and in Belle Vale, Liverpool, a post box has been topped with a crown.

H&M and Ikea have launched a pilot programme called Atelier100 that aims to mentor and showcase the work of London-based creatives and designers. Atelier100 opened its doors in Livat Hammersmith, a recently-opened shopping complex owned by Ikea’s parent company, Ingka Group. In April, Atelier100 put out an open call for creatives, makers and manufacturers who live within 100km of central London to share their product ideas. (Atelier100)The space inhabited by Atelier100 inside Livat Hammersmith uses repurposed and recycled materials from the former Topshop flagship store on Oxford Street.

A new quantum technique could allow previously impossible astronomical observations by combining data from observatories around the world. The breakthrough, made by researchers from Australia and Singapore, could lead to new understandings of exoplanets, stars and even black holes through vast arrays of optical observatories. The technique offers a revolution in something known as Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP), which involves the transfer of quantum information without any loss. By applying this quantum communication technique to very-long baseline interferometry, astronomers would be able to combine light from multiple telescopes in order to make observations using previously inaccessible wavelengths. “By moving into optical frequencies, such a quantum imaging network will improve imaging resolution by three to five orders of magnitude.

An amateur bodybuilder was forced to have his arm amputated after a bicep curl went horribly wrong, leading to a deadly flesh-eating virus. Mr McKenna-Lieschke was put in an induced coma and had to have 11 operations in 10 days.

This a paddle surf race with a difference. The seaside village of El Masnou, north of Barcelona, is hosting a paddle surf race with dogs. It's definitely not a walk in the park, canine contenders must be properly trained by their owners and totally obedient. The dogs must patiently sit on the board while their human companions paddle on the surfboard along a 1.5-kilometre course. A dog's natural instinct would be to jump in the water, so the race demands they stay still and obedient.

Prince Harry may have been feuding with Prince William over the last few years - but there is one man in his life whom he is unafraid to put on a touchy-feely display with. And in recent weeks, Nacho and Harry have put on a particularly tactile display while playing polo together at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club. Both Prince Harry and Nacho regularly play in Sentebale's charity matches to raise funds for Sentebale, an organisation co-founded by Prince Harry that supports children and young people affected by HIV in southern Africa. Nacho has been to Lesotho with Prince Harry three times, most recently opening the Mamohato Centre together in 2015. Along with forming a special friendship with Prince Harry, the game of polo also brought him to his wife Delfina Blaquier, the daughter of an Argentinian polo player.

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 31 - Naming children exclusively after their fathers is a sign of inequality among parents, the Constitutional Court said Tuesday in explaining its April 27 sentence scrubbing the automatic naming after the father and allowing the mother's surname or a double surname to be used. It said the practice of giving children their father's surname "is translated into the invisibility of the mother" and is a sign of inequality that "reverberates onto and impacts the identity of the child".

(Yonhap)Authorities evacuated over 1,000 people from villages, hospitals and correctional facilities near a fast-spreading wildfire in the southern city of Miryang on Tuesday. The blaze broke out at 9:25 a.m. on the hill in Miryang, around 280 km southeast of Seoul, and is continuing to spread, according to firefighting authorities. Close to noon, the Korea Forest Service upgraded its wildfire response level to the highest level of 3, issued when a fire is estimated to scorch over 100 hectares. Firefighters erected containment lanes around the blaze to keep it from spreading into nearby villages, located about 180 meters from where the fire broke out. Authorities also evacuated over 390 inmates from a prison in Miryang to another prison near Daegu, 302 kilometers southeast of Seoul.

Bobby Everson was nearing the end of his decade-long federal prison sentence, but he feared he wouldn’t make it home alive. But the most pressing threat came from the men officers chose to put in his cell. In response, the Senate has formed a new group to investigate federal prison operations, and Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Carvajal announced his resignation in January. This wasn’t the first time Phillips had been targeted — he was previously attacked by gang members at Thomson and another prison, according to claims made in a lawsuit. (Weekley was the only person to die in Thomson’s general population and not the Special Management Unit, according to prison officials.)

HONG KONG — The United Nations’ top human rights official offered limited criticism of China’s crackdown on predominantly Muslim minorities, saying at the end of her six-day trip to the country on Saturday that she had raised questions about its application of “counterterrorism and de-radicalization measures” but that her visit “was not an investigation.”The comments from Michelle Bachelet, the first U.N. high commissioner for human rights to visit China since 2005, were sharply criticized by overseas Uyghurs and human rights advocates who had called on her to more vociferously condemn China’s policies. Rayhan Asat, a lawyer whose younger brother is imprisoned in Xinjiang, said Ms. Bachelet’s comments “show a total disregard for the Uyghur people’s suffering.”“The crisis has been going on for six years, and it needs no further examination but condemnation,” she said. “We did not see any of that in her remarks.”

Julie WatsonThe Associated PressSAN DIEGO — A California woman who punched a Southwest Airlines flight attendant in the face during a flight, breaking her teeth, has been sentenced to 15 months in federal prison. Quinonez last year pleaded guilty to one count of interference with flight crew members and attendants, admitting she punched the flight attendant in the face and head with a closed fist and grabbed her hair. In September:Woman charged with assault after punching Southwest flight attendant on May flightDuring the flight’s final descent, the attendant had asked Quinonez to buckle her seat belt, stow her tray table, and put on her facemask properly. Instead, Quinonez began recording the attendant on her cellphone, pushed her, then stood up and punched the woman in the face and grabbed her hair before other passengers intervened, authorities said. The plea agreement said that the flight attendant suffered three chipped teeth, two of which needed crowns, along with bruises and a cut under her left eye that needed stitches.

Question: “My mother-in-law has never really liked me. I’ve been with her son for about seven years, and we’ve been married for almost a year. Every time my mother-in-law comes over she makes comments under her breath about me and gives me dirty looks. For example, she’ll comment on how I never cook, how lazy I am, and make rude comments about my weight or clothes. She’s also claimed that I took her son away from her and I’m the reason she never sees him anymore.

One of the tastiest things I ate this year was still-warm ricotta, just off the fire, at a farm in Sicily. I scooped some of the white, wobbly mass onto my plate, seasoned it with coarse salt and used a spoon to catch every drop, restraining myself from licking the plate. That ethereal ricotta also appeared in the next course as a pasta topping. Meals like this are, of course, impossible to replicate: a sublime vacation moment that can’t be transferred back to everyday life. But that doesn’t mean I can’t make a soupy pasta with fresh ricotta and lots of herbs, and enjoy it almost as much at home.

Placeholder while article actions loadThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended last week that 5- to 11-year-olds receive booster doses if it’s been at least five months since their first two shots of the coronavirus vaccine. The answer is not straightforward, and the CDC’s blanket recommendation does not adequately address the nuances of boosting younger children. AdvertisementBut we don’t have a study that shows a third dose is needed for 5- to 11-year-olds to reduce severe illness. Such a rationale might also apply to younger children with underlying medical diseases, but parents of generally healthy kids might ask whether it makes sense to wait until the fall. Children with chronic medical conditions should opt for their first booster dose now.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to revive Britain's traditional system of imperial measurements, such as pounds and ounces, in a post-Brexit move that has divided the public and businesses. While the bloc normally requires members to use the metric system, it allowed Britain, while a member, to label its produce in some imperial units alongside metric units. After leaving the European Union in 2020, Britain is reviewing thousands of rules that it retained and determining whether they serve the national interest. This includes the rules banning sales of packaged goods like sugar in some imperial units. Cheryl Devlin, who runs a fruit-and-vegetable stall in west London, said the imperial system was part of Britain's culture.

May 31 (Reuters) - With the Federal Reserve set to begin letting bonds mature off its $9 trillion balance sheet, the key metric to watch will be whether Treasury volatility picks up a result in a market already suffering bouts of low liquidity. The Fed will let bonds mature off its balance sheet without replacement starting June 1 as it attempts to normalize policy and bring down soaring inflation. To the degree that the Fed’s retreat does impact yields, it will most likely be higher. The last time the Fed reduced its balance sheet it ended badly. The Fed is also taking time to ramp up to its monthly cap of $95 billion in bonds that it will allow to roll off its balance sheet each month.

The epidemic of gun violence is uniquely American and is entirely preventable. Although mass shootings often capture the attention and outrage of national media, the gun violence on the streets of American cities are having a devastating impact on the lives of children, families, and neighborhoods every day. Threat identification and assessment programs in schoolsIntervening before an action of violence is one of the most critical areas for preventing violence in schools and gun violence overall. We must continue to dispel the idea that gun violence is directly a result of mental illness, while at the same time, addressing the impact of trauma on individuals, families, and the community. We need to consider gun violence as an important and preventable public health issue.

Without a small card proving someone's identity, there are many services that people may not be able to access. The lack of a state identification card or birth certificate may mean children can't be enrolled in school. It could prevent those in need from accessing benefits such as Medicaid or food stamps.

For the past three years, our vacation plans have been on hold due to the pandemic and other concerns. However, recently it came to my attention that Mom bought two tickets to Europe for her and Dad as a birthday gift. She used the money she had been saving for a family vacation to pay for them. I had received 30 email birthday wishes that day and didn’t acknowledge any of them.

To date, WHO said 23 countries that haven’t previously had monkeypox have now reported more than 250 cases. Scientists haven’t yet determined whether the monkeypox outbreak in rich countries can be traced to Africa, but the disease continues to sicken people on the continent. On Monday, Nigerian authorities confirmed its first monkeypox death this year, in addition to six more cases. WHO says there are typically thousands of cases reported from Nigeria and Congo every year. After smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980, countries suspended their mass immunization programs, a move that some experts believe may be helping monkeypox spread, since there is now little widespread immunity to related diseases.

(Bloomberg) -- The block of Wall Street between Pearl and Water in Lower Manhattan has a glamorous history that belies its current state. The Buttonwood Agreement, on which the New York Stock Exchange was founded, was signed across the street under a buttonwood tree in 1792. But now, in 2022, the Wall Street Hotel is hoping its 180 generously appointed rooms, starting at about $500 per night, will help the lot regain its status as a place that New York financiers—and those coming to do business here—can get excited about. Neither New Yorkers nor hoteliers, they are an Australian pearl jewelry dynasty that acquired the building at 88 Wall Street in late 1989 as part of a $15 million multi-asset deal with a friendly competitor. The Wall Street Hotel’s only real competitors will be the Beekman—farther north, near Fulton Street—or the Four Seasons Downtown, closer to the World Trade Center complex.

Detectives have arrested an 18-year-old Florida man after receiving a tip that he threatened a mass shooting at a school in a social media post. Corey Anderson’s post showed him with a handgun, a rifle and a tactical-style vest along with a caption that said, “Hey Siri, directions to the nearest school,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a news release. Anderson was arrested at his home near Tampa on Sunday, and charged with a written or electronic threat to conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism. The sheriff said his agency will “do everything within our power” to track down anyone who makes school threats. In the Florida case, deputies discovered that the weapons in the photo were airsoft guns, the news release said.

Due to bad weatherIf your flight has been delayed, airlines encourage you to travel to the airport ahead of the original departure time anyway. If it is the airline's faultTo claim compensation for a flight, it must have been delayed for more than three hours beyond the scheduled arrival time, and it must have been the airline’s fault. How much can I expect for a delayed flight? Can I claim for a delayed flight outside the EU on a non-EU airline if my journey began in the UK? I have submitted a compensation claim to the airline but it says the delay was due to ‘extraordinary circumstances’.

Stuart booked in for a vasectomy, and I had counselling to help me come to terms with not having a second child. I turned 44 during the pregnancy, had injections twice a day to thin my blood, and held my breath for nine months. He was born just before lockdown, so Harry took his little brother out for lots of walks and formed a special bond with him. The process of trying for a baby and not being able to have one is so difficult. Even though Seth is two now, I still feel surprised every day, and so grateful to be in this situation.

When I get home, I email the boys’ teachers about the experiment – by which time the boys have already eaten a morning snack, a slice of brioche (3g of sugar). Their teachers promise to steer them away from pudding, though, warm pastel de nata (9g of sugar) served with melon. It’s thus up to parents to instil the foundations of healthy snacking when their children are young. Yet my children eye the box of healthy snacks with contempt. This is how the food industry confuses parents, MacGregor says: the fruit concentrate used in countless so-called healthy snacks, baby-food pouches and yogurts is still sugar, which will be absorbed quickly into the blood.

By Uditha JayasingheGONAPOLA, Sri Lanka – Lasanda Deepthi, a 43-year-old Sri Lankan woman, plans her day around fuel queues. Deepthi is one of millions of people in Sri Lanka battling galloping inflation, falling incomes and shortages of everything from fuel to medicine as the country reels under its worst economic crisis since independence in 1948. A woman auto-rickshaw driver is a rare sight on the island of 22 million people off the southern coast of India. “Sometimes I join a line about 3 p.m. but only get fuel about 12 hours later. In mid-May, Deepthi said she spent two-and-a-half days in a queue for petrol, assisted by one of her brothers.

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 31 - Orvieto's famed St Patrick's Well has got onto UNESCO's list of water museums. The spectacular feat of engineering by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger has been added to the Global Network of Water Museums (WAMU-Net), which includes over 70 museums and institutions in 30 countries. The well was completed in 1537 during the papacy of Pope Paul III. The name was inspired by medieval legends that St. Patrick's Purgatory in Ireland gave access down to Purgatory, indicating something very deep. The POzzo di San Patrizio is the second biggest attraction in the Umbrian town after the Duomo with its magnificent frescoes of the Last Judgment by Luca Signorelli.

Currently, the coronavirus, cholera and other contagious diseases are grouped here as the second-highest one, and outbreaks of the diseases are reported within 24 hours. South Korea lowered the level of the COVID-19 disease to the second-highest last month from the highest one as the pandemic shows signs of receding. South Korea has yet to report an occurrence of the virus. The KDCA said South Korea established a testing scheme for monkeypox in 2016. The KDCA said earlier that South Korea has a vaccine stockpile sufficient to inoculate 35 million people against the monkeypox virus.

‘Carbon capture’ has increasingly become a magic word for many investors and regulators. Proponents seem to conveniently overlook the fact that CCUS essentially represents a ‘tax’ to continue CO2 emissions. Yet there is little mention that the capture cost is the key barrier, where more than 60 to 70% of the total cost typically lies. Thus, while shuffling the cards in the transport and storage stage may help, its impact will likely remain limited before the capture cost decreases substantially. CCUS in the power sector has had a patchy history, with only one CCUS power plant operating globally.

On Saturdays between last fall and this spring, Ford CEO Jim Farley started his morning pouring coffee as a Pope Francis Center volunteer serving the less fortunate who wanted a warm meal in Detroit.

The individual metrics were wide-ranging, including tree-cover loss, wastewater treatment, fine-particulate-matter pollution and lead exposure. The United States ranked 43rd overall, with a score of 51.1 out of 100, compared with 24th place and a score of 69.3 in the 2020 edition. Its decline is largely attributable to the bottom falling out of its climate policy: On climate metrics, it plummeted to 101st place from 15th and trailed every wealthy Western democracy except Canada, which was 142nd. But the pace of reduction has been insufficient given the United States’ extremely high starting point. 1 on climate and overall, whose Parliament has made a binding commitment to reduce emissions 70 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.

It would be easy to surmise that nature blossomed and the creatures came out during New York City’s lockdown last year. Funding is more critical than ever, said Ms. Heintz, Mr. Benepe and other officials. “Parks should operate as sponges, but instead they are seeing massive flooding,” said Adam Ganser, the executive director of the nonprofit New Yorkers for Parks. Park funding has remained at 0.6 percent of the total budget for decades, while other cities spend 2 to 4 percent, Mr. Ganser said. Mr. Ganser said such a move would be transformative.

Advocates of mandates sometimes argue that they do have a big effect even if it is not evident in populationwide data, because of how many other factors are at play. The patterns are clear even though the world is a messy place, with many factors other than vaccines influencing Covid death rates. Almost 30 percentThe idea that masks work better than mask mandates seems to defy logic. The Covid virus is so contagious that it can spread during brief times when people take off their masks, even when a mandate is in place. So do adults: Research by the University of Minnesota suggests that between 25 percent and 30 percent of Americans consistently wear their masks below their nose.

A timeline from the state police raised the painful possibility that had officers done more, and faster, not all of those who died — 19 children and two teachers — would have lost their lives.

Just beyond the reach of New York City’s frenetic, round-the-clock subway, people in a slice of western Queens wait — and wait — to board one of the borough’s slowest buses. Many of the 2.3 million New Yorkers who live and work in Queens aren’t served directly by the vast network of trains that keeps the nation’s biggest metropolis moving. The borough, the city’s second most populous, has less subway service relative to its size and population than the other four. So hundreds of thousands of people here plan their lives around the only mass transit choice they have: the buses that lumber along traffic-choked streets. One of those buses, the Q23, is among the slowest in the city.

“They’re just random data in just random images of the sky,” Dr. Lu said. But for Mr. Moeyens and Dr. Juric, a single point of light that is not a star or a galaxy is a starting point for their algorithm, which they named Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery, or THOR. THOR constructs a test orbit that corresponds to the observed point of light, assuming a certain distance and velocity. If a point of light show up there in the data, that could be the same asteroid. If the algorithm can link together five or six observations across a few weeks, that is a promising candidate for an asteroid discovery.

Chinese officials deny that’s the plan. To many observers, the South Pacific today reveals what American decline looks like. Even as Washington officials have tried to step up their game, they are still far behind, mistaking speeches for impact and interest for influence. “There’s a lot of talk,” said Sandra Tarte, the head of the government and international affairs department at the University of the South Pacific in Suva. Many of the airports and hospitals still in use across the Pacific were built by the United States and its allies during World War II.

“The question that should scare us is, what will it take to make us collectively bring about this change?” she said. It was a reflection on history, the violence that we live with, and what the age requires, she said.

German police staged raids on the DWS unit of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt, the state prosecutor's office said on Tuesday, giving no further details. No one at Deutsche Bank was immediately available to comment. According to Handelsblatt, the raid by around 50 officials on Deutsche Bank's Frankfurt headquarters and the nearby building housing the DWS Group was over green-washing allegations against the latter. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as well as Germany's financial regulator BaFin have separate investigations into allegations that DWS overstated how it used sustainable investing criteria to manage investments. Fund managers have rapidly amassed billions of dollars of assets that are meant to have an environmental or social profile, but there is growing scrutiny over how firms define and apply environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.

DUBAI, May 31 (Reuters) - Qatar Airways is ready to see its legal dispute with Airbus (AIR.PA) over flaws with protective skin of A350 wide-body jets through to trial, the Gulf carrier said on Tuesday. Qatar Airways is suing the European planemaker in a UK court for $1 billion in damages after grounding about two dozen of its A350s experiencing the flaws, which it says raise safety concerns - something Airbus and European regulators deny. "Qatar Airways is ready to see this matter through to trial to ensure that its rights are protected and that Airbus is required to address an unprecedented and extremely unique and concerning defect impacting the A350 aircraft type, across the industry and multiple carriers," the airline said in a statement setting out detailed extracts from a judge's written ruling. Airbus said it was surprised by what it termed a "complete mischaracterisation" of the ruling, saying it had rejected Qatar's requests for injunctions and awarded Airbus most costs.

The COVID-19 crisis has likely added to this figure, leading to what mental health experts colloquially call a second pandemic. On top of that, children’s mental health concerns have been spiking, exacerbating an already bleak situation. It prompted the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical groups to declare a national emergency in youth mental health. Paid mental wellness days and better work flexibilityPatel said both students and adults need mental health days that aren’t tied to sick days in any way as well. Decreased access to housing, health care, food access, and more greatly inhibits people’s ability to address or improve their mental health.

The Marshall Project and NPR obtained federal prison data and agency documents, reviewed criminal and civil court cases, and interviewed dozens of people with knowledge of Thomson. He noted that people in federal prisons are not housed in "solitary confinement," because "in general, inmates in restricted housing are housed two to a cell." In response, the Senate has formed a new group to investigate federal prison operations, and Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Carvajal announced his resignation in January.

Sixteen of those who will receive the prestigious red cardinal's hat from Francis in a consistory ceremony at the Vatican on Aug. 27 are younger than 80 and thus would be eligible to vote for his successor if a conclave — in which pontiffs are secretly elected — were to be held.

MADISON - Your beloved butter burger or cheese curds could come with a side of "forever chemicals," though Culver's is working with its packaging vendors to phase out the toxic chemicals. "We know that food can be a major source of PFAS exposure — some studies estimate up to 50% of PFAS exposure can be from food," she said in an email. "At this time, data are not available to estimate risk from food packaging exposure," Yang said. "On the other hand, when levels of PFAS in drinking water are elevated, drinking water can be the dominant source of exposure." Culver's is far from the only fast-food restaurant to use PFAS in its food wrappers.

I'm not saying I didn’t have a hard life, but Black girls, especially young black girls, especially today, in the present, we are carrying so much baggage.

Is the risk of long COVID any different among those who are fully vaccinated against the virus? As with just about every aspect of COVID-19, we’re still learning, so scientists don’t yet know whether vaccination reduces the chance of long COVID. Of course, we do know the best way to avoid long COVID is to avoid COVID altogether. In a study of 34,000 fully vaccinated but un-boosted people who experienced breakthrough COVID-19 infections, vaccination appeared to reduce the likelihood of long COVID by just 15%. They’ll study research volunteers for up to four years to better understand the causes of long COVID and how best to treat it.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in Tonga on Tuesday as he continued his regional island-hopping tour a day after failing to ink an ambitious deal with 10 South Pacific nations. In Tonga, Wang met with King Tupou VI and Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni and signed several agreements with Sovaleni that covered everything from disaster management to a royal tomb improvement project. “The relationship between China and Tonga is a shining pearl,” the ambassador said in his statement. Wang's tour is causing consternation among some Western nations that see themselves as traditional partners with the South Pacific. Australia last week sent new Foreign Minister Penny Wong to Fiji in an attempt at counter-diplomacy.

In fact, it felt like we were on vacation when my friends and I gathered on the back deck around a table of tacos and tiki drinks last week.

A man with an incurable genetic condition who advertised his sperm to lesbians on social media has been banned from contacting some of the children he fathered as a result. A family court judge took the unusual step of naming James MacDougall after finding he “took advantage of these young women’s vulnerability and their strong desire to have children”. MacDougall, 37, has fragile-X syndrome, a genetic condition that causes a range of developmental problems including learning difficulties and cognitive impairment. The family court heard he placed an advert as a potential sperm donor on a social media page for lesbian women seeking donors. Lieven said the women were irresponsible to use MacDougall as a sperm donor without making proper inquiries about his health record, but were desperate for children.

Women should exercise in the morning to lose fat - but go for an evening session if they want to build muscle, research suggests. The US study found the best time of day to exercise may differ for men and women. Women burned more body fat during morning exercise, whereas evenings counted more for men. Researchers said women may be more sensitive to such differences because they are more likely to have excess stomach fat. This is important because abdominal fat wraps around the body's internal organs, making it potentially more deadly.

And while it’s a shame the rear seats only split 60/40, you do at least get a variable-height boot floor that you can set flush with the seat backs when they’re folded, or drop down for maximum volume. Further forward, none of your passengers will want for space. There are even touchpads instead of proper switches on the steering wheel, too, where they manage to be both fiddly to use and easy to press by accident as you twirl the wheel.

For this recipe you will need two Swiss roll tins, measuring approximately 24cm x 34cm and a trifle dish with capacity of approximately 3.5 litres. Grease and line the two Swiss roll tins with baking paper. Sprinkle some extra caster sugar on two sheets of baking paper then turn the sponges out onto the sugared paper. Pour the St Clement’s jelly over the Swiss roll layer and set aside in the fridge to completely set. In a large bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form then spoon this over the coulis.

If you were to try to picture the Queen on her Coronation Day, a black-and-white image would probably come to mind. You might be able to conjure the golden orb and sceptre, and you’d probably have a vague recollection of a white dress underneath all that finery. Hand-stitched, with silk emblems representing the four nations of Great Britain and all the dominions of which she was now Queen, it was a dress heavy with symbolism. That floral design is the inspiration behind the new Queen’s Garden, at the Tower of London. Set to open on Wednesday, in time for the Platinum Jubilee, the garden forms part of ­Superbloom, a wildflower installation that will fill the 13th-century moat.

Check the cup is inserted correctlyOnce you have inserted your menstrual cup, you can check whether or not it's been put it in place correctly. How to remove itThe part that many people who have never used a menstrual cup dread – the removal. Menstrual cup company Lunette states that while you can use an IUD with a menstrual cup, you must first check the length of the string of the coil.

Dame Emma Thompson said her mind “ran amok with ideas” when she heard the real-life tale of the founder of the V&A Museum and his trusty hound, inspiring her to pen a heartwarming children’s Christmas book. The Oscar-winning actress said it is an “utter joy” to have teamed up with best-selling illustrator Axel Scheffler in creating Jim’s Spectacular Christmas. The story is based on the real-life dog belonging to Sir Henry Cole, who founded the V&A Museum in 1852 when it began as a Museum of Manufactures. Dame Emma was inspired to write the tale of the canine hero, who she describes as having a “gamey whiff”, after becoming enraptured by a drawing Sir Henry made of his pet and receiving a Jim-shaped Christmas decoration. “We can’t wait to share this beautiful Christmas story with the public.”Jim’s Spectacular Christmas will be published on October 27.

LONDON – Britain’s communications regulator, Ofcom, said on Tuesday it was investigating Royal Mail’s failure to meet its delivery targets across 2021-22, with its probe set to look into the postal company’s “substantial lapse in performance”. “Ofcom takes compliance with quality of service targets very seriously,” Ofcom said in a statement. “Our investigation … will gather evidence to understand the reasons behind this substantial lapse in performance, and determine whether Royal Mail has breached its requirements.”

The killings represented a 324% rise over the previous quarter and highlighted the failure of Mali’s military junta to limit human rights abuses or stop groups linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State from carrying out campaigns of violence. Mali’s military, which took power in a 2020 coup, did not respond to requests for comment. MINUSMA documented 320 human rights violations by the Malian military in the January-March period, compared with 31 in the previous three months. “In addition to summary executions, security forces also allegedly raped, looted, arrested and arbitrarily detained many civilians during the military operation,” MINUSMA said. France beat them back, but by 2015 they had regrouped and unleashed a wave of attacks in the centre.

ANKARA/WASHINGTON -A chief adviser to Turkey’s president told his U.S. counterpart that Turkey wanted “concrete steps” on the existence of what it calls “terrorist organisations” in Finland and Sweden before it would consider their NATO bids, the Turkish presidency said. U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Ibrahim Kalin, chief foreign policy adviser to President Tayyip Erdogan, spoke on Monday to discuss the NATO bids and the war in Ukraine, the Turkish presidency said in a statement. All 30 NATO members must approve plans to enlarge the alliance. Erdogan said in comments published in The Economist on Monday that Turkey’s commitment to NATO was unchanged, and he called on allies to focus their efforts on “persuading” the candidate countries. “Sweden’s and Finland’s uncompromising insistence on joining the alliance has added an unnecessary item to NATO‘s agenda,” he said.

ANKARA – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a call on Monday that he placed value on a project to create a safe sea route for exporting Ukrainian agricultural goods, his office said. “Erdogan stated that he especially valued the project to create a secure sea route for exporting Ukrainian agricultural products,” his office said in a statement and added he welcomed, in principle, the idea of making Istanbul a headquarters for an “observation mechanism” between Moscow, Kyiv and the United Nations.

Wahyu said that local fishermen who helped search for the missing crew found them. The Zidane Express ship departed from Boom Beach in Banyuwangi to Sapeken Island in Madura, East Java Province on May 26. Head of the Surabaya SAR Office Hari Adi Purnomo said the rescue was launched shortly after the ship was confirmed missing.

LONDON – Virgin Atlantic cabin crew will be allowed to display tattoos on their arms after the airline said on Tuesday it had dropped a requirement for uniformed and front line staff to cover up inkings with long-sleeved shirts, plasters or make up. In 2019, Virgin dropped a requirement for female cabin crew to wear makeup. The British airline founded by billionaire Richard Branson said it was now also relaxing its tattoo restrictions ahead of a fresh recruitment drive for cabin crew. The airline said neck, face and head tattoos must still be covered, although it was currently reviewing that policy. Offensive tattoos are also required to be covered up, it said.

Many of Ukraine's historic monuments have been destroyed in the three months since Russia invaded the country, but cultural experts are working to conserve their memory using cutting-edge technology and 3D scans. French engineer Emmanuel Durand is a specialist in 3D data acquisition and is assisting Ukrainian architects and historical building experts to record structures in Kyiv, Lviv, Chernihiv and Kharkiv. The redbrick fire station and its watchtower, built-in 1887, are a monument to Kharkiv's industrial revolution. Kateryna Kuplytska, architect and member of the body documenting damaged heritage sites, said many of the buildings are in heavily destroyed areas. Some critics suggest it is futile to document historic buildings in such meticulous detail while the war is still raging and people are dying every day.

They found that drinking between two to four cups per day was the sweet-spot, regardless of whether they used sugar or not. This was used to calculate their average daily coffee consumption, including if they used sugar or an artificial sweetener. Children who eat too much sugar risk damaging their teeth, putting on fat and becoming overweight, and getting type 2 diabetes which increases the risk of heart disease and cancer. 'The amount of sugar added to coffee is difficult to estimate, even when using teaspoons,' he said. 'It is therefore very difficult to make any further inferences about whether the sugar added to coffee has an impact to health.

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 31 - Bank of Italy Governor Ignazio Visco said Tuesday that a prolonged war in Ukraine would probably cost Italy two percentage points of GDP growth over the next two years. "The war has radically heightened uncertainty," Visco said. "Productive activity weakened in the first quarter. "In April our assessment was that, if the conflict went on for an extended period, it would lead to two two percentage points less of growth this year and next. "However, we cannot exclude more adverse developments... if the war led to an interruption of Russian gas supplies".

Every grain counts: A woman at a displaced persons' camp in Ouallam, Niger, pours food from a containerLibreville (AFP) – The war in Ukraine is heaping further pressure on Africa's fast-growing population of vulnerable people, a UN refugee official says. "Across Africa, rising prices and reduced food aid caused by the war in Ukraine will increase the vulnerability of refugees and other forcibly displaced populations and increase the risk of inter-communal tensions," Mazou said in an interview. Mazou said Africa already faced "displacement on an unprecedented scale" through the double crunch of climate-related disasters and conflicts. "The Sahel is on the front line of the climate crisis, with temperatures rising 1.5 times faster than the global average. "We are already seeing this with further cuts in food aid to refugees in Mozambique and Zambia," he said.

Cultural experts are working to conserve the memory of Ukraine’s historic buildings using 3D scans. More than 100 have been hit by shelling during the past 3 months of the war.

Volunteers flew and drove in from across Texas and all over the country to help with various aspects of the funerals. Community members express shock and grief in Uvalde, Tex., at a memorial for the 19 students and two adults killed in a mass shooting.

Your best bet at protection is consistency—a sunscreen you like and therefore reach for every day. Sunscreens filter most (but not all) UVA and UVB radiation. By filtering, sunscreens also slow down the skin ageing process, including the appearance of sunspots, pigmentation and wrinkles. Pick a sunscreen of SPF 30 and above and look for certification that assures protection against UVA and UVB radiation (usually labelled Broad Spectrum or PA+++).

While getting a professional to do it is always the dreamiest route, it’s also easy enough to do at home. “Fill a sink with ice cubes, cold water and slices of cucumber and hold your face in it for as long as you can,” she told the Sunday Telegraph. “I have been advising my clients to use ice cold water to wash their faces for years,” says Vico.

If there’s anything the LGBTQ community has taught us, it’s that self-expression in itself is an art form. These days, there are no limits when it comes to donning on longer-than-life claws or opting for 3D-illusion on your nail beds. It’s a fun, non-committal way to add some drama to your daily life, or if you simply desire something more covert, there’s a nail art design for you out there as well. This Pride month, take the opportunity to show your support and allyship with the community by sporting a minimalistic rainbow across the nails, or take it up a notch with some chrome detailing over bright multi-coloured hues. With that in mind, we’ve pieced together a few Pride month nail art styles to try out, from bold ombre hues to intricate detailing.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 15 years since Keeping Up With The Kardashians hit our television screens and introduced us to what has become one of the world’s most famous families. The second-youngest of the clan, Kendall Jenner, may have been introduced as a cute 11-year old in season 1, but, fast forward to 2022 (via a modelling deal and numerous runway appearances), and she has well and truly secured her position as the most fashion-savvy sister. Of course, good style is in the eye of the beholder, and others may argue that Kim is more deserving of this accolade, but, when it comes to championing cult brands, experimenting with off-beat pairings and generally being a fashion-crowd darling, Kendall is the one.

“Wash day is a ritual that is synonymous with the Black consumer – it’s a time that you’ve carved out of your day to pamper yourself,” superstar hairstylist Cyndia Harvey tells me over Zoom. A visual exploration of traditional hairstyles and diasporic identity, it is a beautiful celebration of textured hair (and its heritage) in all its forms, from sculptural styles to beaded, braided and bound. “T.H.O.M was an evolution of that idea, which was all about celebrating textured hair in its purest form,” Harvey says. “It was an ode to who I am, the people I grew up around, and who I’m friends with now. T.H.O.M is a destination where textured hair comes to be – we’re here to celebrate you and accept you for exactly who you are.”

LOS ANGELES — The new Amazon Style store, the first brick-and-mortar apparel outpost for the behemoth online shopping company based in Seattle, looks like every other clothing store in a mall. The one thing that makes this 30,000-square-foot store different from others is one thing: technology. “We are making it more inspiring, personalized and convenient for each customer,” said Simoina Vasen, vice president of Amazon Style. Another store distinction is there is not more than one sample of an item on the rack or shelf. Vasen wouldn’t discuss future plans for Amazon Style stores, which will undoubtedly add to Amazon’s annual apparel sales estimated by Wells Fargo to be $41 billion.

A school board in Tennessee voted unanimously this month to ban “Maus,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, from being taught in its classrooms because the book contains material that board members said was inappropriate for students. According to minutes of its meeting, the 10-person board, in McMinn County, Tenn., voted on Jan. 10 to remove the book from the eighth-grade curriculum. “There is some rough, objectionable language in this book,” said Lee Parkison, the director of schools for McMinn County, in eastern Tennessee, according to minutes of the meeting. Art Spiegelman, the author of “Maus,” said he was baffled by the decision. “This is disturbing imagery,” he said in an interview on Thursday, which is Holocaust Remembrance Day.

He’s in town for a board meeting of the charter-school network into which he pours millions. These days Netflix is legendary in Silicon Valley for its so-called Culture Deck, the company’s constitution. Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, where Hastings holds a board seat, says it’s the reason Facebook’s directors pursued him. The highlights: no limit on vacation days at Netflix, ditto for sick days. Hastings tells me he has no idea how much vacation his people take on average, and he insists he doesn’t care.

You might’ve thought that harkened the death of fast fashion, as a new generation of consumers has begun to shun its wastefulness—embracing, in its place, secondhand clothing as a planet-friendlier wardrobe—but according to vintage reseller ThredUp, that’s not quite true. While Gen Z’s heart is in the right place, fast fashion is still hard to quit. According to the report, 72% say they shop fast fashion because it’s “good value for the money,” and another 20% say they feel pressured to have the latest styles due to social media. Secondhand shopping is a treasure hunt, but unearthing a gem that’s the right look, size, quality, and price takes time—meanwhile, 53% of shoppers say they choose fast fashion because it’s, well, faster. Much like any addiction, 42% say fast fashion is a bad habit that’s hard to break.

Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos:@justbobbibrown, @meredithduxbury/TikTokIf you, like me, spend most of your time online trying to unpack niche dramas, it’s likely you have been trying to decode a number of cryptic tweets alluding to makeup artist Bobbi Brown and an influencer on TikTok. On Monday, May 17, Bobbi Brown, the makeup artist who probably taught you how to do makeup via her books, posted the video above to TikTok. Well, a number of eagle-eyed commenters and Twitter users pointed out this was not a seemingly random video but in fact one shading another TikTok user’s video. Now we’re sure Brown was just poking fun at Duxbury, but “Bobbi Brown shading” brings up more results on this on Twitter than any contour technique. We also agree with the general consensus of Twitter users that assure even if Brown were jokingly shading us, we’d have to log out for the day.

After a little digging around, it became apparent that there are a couple of ways to give Dad an emergency alert system. You’ll need to get the Alexa app running on the phone of the person for whom you’re setting this up. (I have the Alexa app on my phone and several Alexa devices in my own home.) Once you’re in the Alexa app, you’ll notice an “Add as Emergency Contact” option in there as well. Other than that, we’ve got a whole-home medical alert system set up for less than a hundred bucks.

It’s time to go beyond the familiar to expand your network and knowledge and meet more contacts who could help get you that much closer to your goals. Alumni chapters are a great way to stay connected and network outside your own company and niche. You have a shared interest in your school, and it’s an easy way to meet new people. Then start networking with people in that niche. It’s a good mental exercise and helps you to get feedback on how your business is perceived by others outside of your industry.

Li’s passion for the skies has since taken a more earthbound and microscopic form: It has translated into a love of quantum physics. Quantum leapsThe primary thesis driving quantum information science is that altering the state of a material at a subatomic level can make a significant impact at much larger scales. An aspect of Li’s research focuses on defects in very small diamonds, some of which are on the nanometer scale. It was research at Berkeley — he remembers the university library and dining halls fondly — that cemented his love of quantum physics. If you learn about how this tiny thing works, you can maybe also learn how the bigger things work,” Li says.

John Wood Jr.Opinion columnistWe live in an age of social sanction. Perhaps every age is to a degree. But the predominating social sanction (or “cancel culture” if you like) from the American left as it expresses itself in popular culture and the activist activation of major American institutions are yielding a soft secessionism from the American right.

Finding and sharing words is excruciatingly challenging for all survivors, but especially for children. A child in danger cannot find safety if the language we use to define abuse is diluted. Language is also what helps survivors find some semblance of healing; it’s our only way out. No anti-LGBTQ education bill, book ban or health care ban, would have prevented my abuse or helped me in its aftermath. One in four girls and one in 13 boys will endure sexual abuse before their 18th birthday.

For decades, the conservative position on abortion has been simple: Appoint justices who will overturn Roe V. Wade. The question of abortion rights will re-enter the realm of electoral politics in a way it hasn’t for 50 years. One place those Republicans may look for inspiration is to the work of the legal scholar Erika Bachiochi. [You can listen to this episode of “The Ezra Klein Show” on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google or wherever you get your podcasts.] Hers is not an argument I agree with, but it’s one that I imagine will become increasingly salient in a post-Roe America.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy last week issued an advisory regarding the burnout and resignation crisis in the healthcare community, underlining the severity of the problem. The COVID-19 pandemic aggravated pre-existing morale problems for medical professionals frustrated with changing job demands that they say affects their ability to care for patients. Early retirements and career changes could lead to significant shortages in nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers, hindering future medical care in the U.S.COVID hospitalizations and deaths may be down from their surge peaks, but the nation's hospitals and clinics still face a population in crisis: the healthcare workers themselves. Overworked medical professionals, who risked their health and their families' well-being to help patients through the pandemic, are now dealing with a public that is increasingly distrustful in a politicized environment where hospital violence is not uncommon. Staffing shortages and the administrative demands of an increasingly complicated medical system have also created frustration for those who see care for fellow human beings as their calling.

Almost two and a half years ago, I took my oath of office as prosecutor, and swore to protect my community from those who broke the law. The real threat, I now realize, may stem from those who write the law. If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, the rights of thousands of Virginian women will be thrown into question. While the commonwealth does not have an abortion ban on the books, our governor has said that he is “staunchly, unabashedly” against abortion and fully committed to “going on the offense” against abortion rights in our legislature. So when the court’s draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked earlier this month, I committed to never prosecute a woman for making her own health care decisions.

A French photojournalist covering evacuation efforts in Eastern Ukraine was killed during a Russian strike, French President Emmanuel Macron said. Macron, confirming the death of Leclerc-Imhoff on Monday, tweeted his condolences to his family and support for war correspondents. Before this attack, seven journalists had died while covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It was his second mission to Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion, BFMTV said. Oleg Nikolenko, spokesman for the Ukrainian foreign affairs ministry, condemned the killing near Severodonetsk, saying it was the latest on an expanding “list of Russian crimes against media workers in Ukraine.”

Activists against surveillance have called on governments to ban or at least heavily regulate spyware companies. And the United Nations’ human rights office called on governments last year to regulate the sale and use of spyware technologies. Macron reportedly replaced his phone and changed his phone number last year after his number was found on a list of 50,000 allegedly targeted by NSO clients using Pegasus. France is investigating the impact of Pegasus on government officials following last year’s allegations that Macron’s phone was infected with Pegasus spyware. And without an international agreement to halt the use of spyware, governments may try to out-compete the other through using the technology.

VIDEO: Amid the rise in anti-Asian hate, these pairs feel safer walking togetherNPR YouTubeIn response to an increase in violent attacks targeting people of Asian descent, some people across the U.S. have started regularly walking with loved ones out of concern for their safety. In Pasadena, Calif., 87-year-old Janet Setsuda recalls her childhood spent in a Japanese internment camp during a morning stroll with Kevin Holmes, a local volunteer chaperone who has developed a close friendship with Setsuda as a result of their many walks together. Less than 50 miles away, in Chino, Calif., college student Sophie Moline, fearing that her mother, Charisse, could be a target, accompanies her on a walk through their local park. And in New York City, community organizer Michelle Tran joins her mentee, high school freshman Tiffany Yuen, on her evening walk home — something they began doing more regularly after Tiffany was verbally harassed in Chinatown last year. This film follows the three pairs on their walks as they discuss the fears that have emerged (and in some cases, re-emerged) over the course of the pandemic, as well as the unexpected joys that this new practice of walking together has brought to their lives.

Cancer screenings like colonoscopies are supposed to be free. Typically, screening colonoscopies are scheduled every 10 years starting at age 45. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a nonpartisan group of medical experts, recommends regular colorectal cancer screening for average-risk people from ages 45 to 75. Someone whose cancer risk is above average may face higher bills and not be protected by the law, said Anna Howard, a policy principal at the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network. Billing from an anesthesiologist — who merely delivers a dose of sedative — can also become an issue in screening colonoscopies.

Part of the promise of electric cars is they’ll save their owners money. The argument is that electricity is significantly less expensive than gasoline.

One such training was called the Virtual Dementia Tour, a replication of the dementia experience for those of us with minds still intact. Having had, years earlier, a front-row seat to my mom’s dementia, I questioned how they could simulate this. The headset was feeding me a constant cacophony of background noise — radio announcer, static, other people’s conversations, a loudly ringing phone, a distant siren. “Can you repeat?” But the woman ignored her, took my arm, and led me into the hall, where she collected the glasses, headset, gloves, and torturous insoles. But it wasn’t till I felt dementia, experienced for five minutes confusion, helplessness, frustration, invisibility and pain, that I could truly empathize.

Matthew Wilson of the Brunswick Police Department told the newspaper it was actually a 3.5-foot-long ball python, a nonvenomous constrictor snake. “I ended up catching it with a broom handle,” Wilson told the Daily News. Wilson, who has a ball python of his own, said the Sonic snake has a new home with a snake-loving friend. There was a holdup Saturday at the Sonic Drive-In, but not the type for which police are typically called.

Women in Japan could be forced to seek their partner’s consent before being prescribed the abortion pill, which will reportedly be approved late this year – three decades after it was made available to women in the UK. Under Japan’s 1948 Maternal Protection Law, consent is already required for surgical abortions – with very few exceptions – a policy that campaigners say tramples over women’s reproductive rights. Japan took 40 years to approve oral contraceptives, in 1999, according to Tsukahara, but only six months to approve the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. Campaigners for safe abortion have warned that the abortion pill, which will not be covered by national health insurance, will be prohibitively expensive for many women. “The reality is that for some women, abortion is not possible for financial reasons,” Shirai said.

But women trying to improve muscle strength in their upper body were better off saving their efforts for the evening - which was also found to improve their mood. Time of day made less difference to men, who saw strength boosted whether it was the morning or evening. All study participants improved their healthAll participants had their blood pressure and body fat tested over the course of the study, as well as their flexibility, strength and aerobic power at the start and end. All those who took part in the study improved their overall health and performance over the 12-week trial, no matter when they exercised. But he told the BBC that there may be "something else going on" which may mean the ideal time of day to exercise is different for women and men.

Britain’s two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has said the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, made him “angry” and that a survivor’s account of the incident was similar to his own experience in the 1996 Dunblane massacre in Scotland. An 18-year-old gunman armed with a semi-automatic rifle stormed an elementary school in Texas last week, killing 19 children and two teachers. It is the deadliest mass shooting in Britain’s modern history. “I heard something on the radio the other day and it was a child from that school,” Murray told the BBC. How is that normal that children should be having to go through drills, in case someone comes into a school with a gun?”

The holiday operator Tui is cancelling a quarter of its flights from Manchester Airport as half-term travel chaos mounts. The Telegraph has learnt that bosses at Tui took the decision to cut 43 flights a week in June following chaotic scenes at airports over the weekend. Manchester Airport is one of Tui’s biggest bases in the UK. Tui flights carry around 200 passengers each, meaning as many as 37,000 holidaymakers will be affected in June. A spokesman for Tui confirmed that it had taken the “incredibly difficult decision” to cancel 43 flights a week for the rest of June at Manchester, understood to be roughly a quarter of its services from one of Britain’s biggest airports.

PARIS -A gravely sick orca which became separated from its pod and swam dozens of miles up the river Seine in France has died of natural causes, the campaign group Sea Shepherd said on Monday, after attempts to guide it back to sea failed. “We found him late this morning,” Lamya Essemlali, head of Sea Shepherd France, told Reuters. During an attempt on Saturday to lure the whale back out to sea with a drone emitting orca sounds, the animal behaved incoherently and emitted distress calls, local officials said. By Monday, it resembled nothing more than “a ghost of an orca”, Essemlali said, and it died before any attempt at euthanization could be made. The whale’s body will be moved to the shore of the river and an autopsy will be conducted, local officials said in a statement.

By Jake CordellLONDON – For Oleg Kechin, owner of a chain of barbershops, forecasts that Russia will be plunged into its deepest economic crisis in a generation feel overdone. Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov said on Friday there was a “demand crisis” in business and consumer spending. The economy minister said manufacturers were re-establishing supply chains broken by sanctions and said 2,000 “backbone companies” could access preferential lending programmes. STIMULUSRussia has already dipped into its National Wealth Fund, which has about $110 billion of liquid assets, to support spending, which is up 22% this year, the economy minister said.

PARIS – British citizens were among those arrested after crowd trouble broke out at last weekend’s Champions League soccer final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, said France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin on Monday. Darmanin said that out of the 29 or 30 or so people arrested at Paris’ Stade de France last Saturday, “more than a half concerned British citizens.” He added there had been an “industrial-scale” level of selling fake tickets, which in turn had caused Liverpool fans to turn up en masse without valid tickets. France’s sports minister said on Monday that Liverpool fans without valid tickets were responsible for the initial crowd problems at the Champions League final, with the problem then exacerbated by local youths trying to force their way in to the game. [L1N2XM09H]Liverpool Chief Executive Billy Hogan said the club wanted a “transparent investigation” by governing body UEFA. Britain’s minister for sport, Nadine Dorries, also urged UEFA to investigate.

By Natalie GroverLONDON -The World Health Organization (WHO) does not believe the monkeypox outbreak outside Africa will lead to a pandemic, an official said on Monday, adding it remains unclear if infected people who are not displaying symptoms can transmit the disease. The WHO is considering whether the outbreak should be assessed as a “potential public health emergency of international concern” or PHEIC. Asked whether this monkeypox outbreak has the potential to grow into a pandemic, Rosamund Lewis, technical lead for monkeypox from the WHO Health Emergencies Programme said: “We don’t know but we don’t think so.”“At the moment, we are not concerned of a global pandemic,” she added. The strain of virus implicated in the outbreak is understood to kill a small fraction of those infected, but no deaths have been reported so far. Scientists are therefore looking into what might explain this unusual upsurge of cases, while public health authorities suspect there is some degree of community transmission.

BERLIN – Germany will make it faster and easier for critics of the Russian government to come and live in the country based on newly agreed criteria, an interior ministry spokesperson said. Human rights activists, employees of NGOs and civil society groups with a connection to Germany and journalists and researchers who have taken a stance against the war in Ukraine are among those who qualify to stay in the longer term, said the spokesperson on Monday at a regular government news conference. The spokesperson added that there was no reliable way to predict how many people this measure would affect. The move aims to remove some of the red tape involved in Germany’s visa process and guarantee a longer stay than the 90 days allowed under the Schengen tourist visa.

By Brenda Goh and Ryan WooSHANGHAI/BEIJING -Shanghai on Monday announced an end to its two-month long COVID-19 lockdown, allowing people in virus-free areas of China’s largest city to leave their homes and drive their cars. Some residents greeted the news with disbelief, reflecting on how what was originally supposed to be a lockdown lasting just under five days for most became a longer ordeal. Residents have heavily criticised the city government over its communication during much of the lockdown. On Sunday, Shanghai announced it was removing restrictions on business reopenings, but gave no indication at that time on how it would lift other lockdown measures. Shanghai reported fewer than 100 new COVID cases for May 29, while Beijing recorded 12.

– Armenian police clashed with protesters in Yerevan on Monday amid a wave of demonstrations against the prime minister that has seen thousands of people block government buildings, close roads and shut down the metro system. Police said a group of people outside a government building had clashed with police officers and called for protesters to obey the law. “We once again urge you to show exclusively lawful behaviour during public actions, to obey the lawful demands of the police officers”, the police said in a statement. Pressure against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has increased since he moved closer to normalising relations with Azerbaijan, which defeated Armenia in a six-week war in 2020. The war, which centred around the status of the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave, ended with a Russia-brokered peace deal that led to a significant loss of territory for Armenia.

The pandemic has stunted Japan’s rugby development and the 2019 quarterfinalist is now “clearly behind” in its preparations for next year’s World Cup, head coach Jamie Joseph warned on Tuesday. Japan played no games in 2020 because of coronavirus restrictions, denying the Brave Blossoms a chance to build on their historic run to the last eight in the previous year’s World Cup on home soil. They managed seven matches in 2021 but Joseph fears his team has lost ground against the world’s best as it looks towards next year’s World Cup in France. “One of the biggest challenges that I’ve faced since the World Cup in 2019, like a lot of other people around the world in sporting teams, is the pandemic,” said former All Black Joseph, announcing his squad for four home test matches against Uruguay and France. The development squad will face a team of Japan-based Tongan players in a charity match in Tokyo on June 11.

Japan is relaxing its border policies, and the good news is that they will be allowing more foreign nationals — including tourists — to enter the country. The bad news is that it is limited. Japan will only allow 20,000 entrants per day, with special considerations granted to visitors from just four countries and tourists limited to those signed up with Japan’s big tourism companies’ packaged trips.

The government on Tuesday revoked the permit of an intermediate organization that introduces foreign nationals on the Technical Intern Training Program to host companies, after the intermediary failed to prevent physical abuse of a Vietnamese man by his Japanese coworkers at a construction firm.

Japan rugby head coach Jamie Joseph says his team have fallen behind due to the pandemicTokyo (AFP) – The pandemic has stunted Japan's rugby development and the 2019 quarter-finalists are now "clearly behind" in their preparations for next year's World Cup, head coach Jamie Joseph warned on Tuesday.

Japan have been drawn in a World Cup group with England and Argentina, both of whom have seen regular action in the Six Nations and Rugby Championship throughout the pandemic.

The 71-year-old's remaining neighbours -- too poor or sick to flee -- came from older generations that had halcyon memories of an orderly Soviet life. And the town itself was almost equidistant from one front, where Ukraine's outgunned forces were pushing back the Russians near Kharkiv, and another, where they were retreating near Severodonetsk. Capturing ruinsRussia's invasion has turned into a war of attrition that has seen very little ground change hands -- but a whole lot of it get destroyed. Severodonetsk's more intact coal mining neighbour Lysychansk represents Ukraine's last pocket of control in the smaller of the two regions comprising the Donbas war zone. Analysts think Russia's halting gains and the eventual supply of bigger Western guns might mean time is on Ukraine's side.

She was 70. Her sister, Jannet Honigmann, who confirmed the death, said Ms. Honigmann had been ill with cancer and multiple sclerosis. In the economic chaos of Peru in the 1990s, when the government nearly bankrupted the country and inflation soared, many middle-class people began moonlighting as taxi drivers, slapping a “Taxi” sticker on their Volkswagen Beetles or battered Nissans to signal that they were on call. Ms. Honigmann collected their histories in the 1995 film “Metal and Melancholy,” riding in the back seat of more than a dozen cabs whose drivers included a teacher, a police officer, an actor and an employee at the Ministry of Justice.

Ivanka Trump is seen taking a walk with husband Jared Kushner and their children on June 12, 2021, in Miami, Florida. After Trump failed to prolong his presidency through extralegal means, Jared and Ivanka decided to leave Washington. And it seems the couple haven’t escaped neighbor drama — though this time, they might not be the real source of the problem. … “You’re standing right next to the sign,” the neighbor told Ivanka. Jared and Ivanka have done plenty that warrants legitimate criticism, from flouting various ethical rules to enabling the Trump administration’s terrible policies.

What's more, it's thought that Lilibet's birthday on 4th June will also coincide with her first meeting with great-grandmother the Queen (who she's named after), making the day even more special. However, it looks like there will be some members of the Royal Family missing from Lilibet's birthday celebrations/her and the Queen's first meeting - as William and Kate are set to be absent. William and Kate, on the other hand, are set to head to Wales, meeting performers and crew taking part in the Platinum Jubilee Celebration Concert in the grounds of Cardiff Castle. Due to their prior engagement, it looks as though the Cambridges will be missing out on Lilibet's birthday celebrations and her first intro to the Queen - unless they travel back to Windsor in the evening, that is. Here's hoping William and Kate will be able to see little Lili and Archie very soon!

Statues of angels on either side of the tabernacle were “decapitated and destroyed,” as well, the diocese said. Tumino speculated that multiple people were involved in the heist, considering the immense weight of the tabernacle. Although police said the tabernacle was solid gold, Father Robert Whelan said in a 2013 program about the church that it was solid silver coated in 18-karat gold. Whelan said in the program that it was “probably the most elaborate tabernacle in the country.”Jaclyn Peiser contributed to this report.

"I will not spend money on liquor," he says. But he has since changed his mind, and no longer recommends tobacco stocks on his show.

REUTERS/Marco BelloMay 31 (Reuters) - Britain's two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray said the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas made him "angry", adding that a survivor's account of the incident was similar to his own experience in the 1996 Dunblane massacre in Scotland. An 18-year-old gunman armed with a semi-automatic rifle stormed an elementary school in Texas last week, killing 19 children and two teachers. Murray grew up in Dunblane and was a student at the town's local elementary school when a gunman killed 16 pupils and a teacher before killing himself. It is the deadliest mass shooting in Britain's modern history. "I heard something on the radio the other day and it was a child from that school," Murray told the BBC.

Health care workers here say Covid-19 completely depleted their facilities’ coffers, preventing doctors and nurses from being able to provide for patients with chronic, and often deadly health conditions. In addition, facilities throughout the country are underfunded — and have been underfunded for decades, with health care staff operating without essential medicines and equipment. That’s just a dilapidated building.”‘Sometimes it can get a bit dicey’Problems in health care delivery that were severe before Covid-19 became completely untenable afterward, health care workers here say. The World Health Organization’s ACT-Accelerator, originally formed in 2020 to fast-track Covid-19 tests, therapeutics and vaccines, has dedicated some funding — $120 million — to strengthening global health systems. There is a debate among leaders in the global health community about what to prioritize over the next several years.

(Adds details)May 31 (Reuters) - Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Tuesday it has fully cut off gas supplies to Dutch gas trader GasTerra after it had failed to make payments for gas delivered in April, making good on its promise to shut down deliveries over payment issues. Gazprom said on Tuesday the payments should be made in line with the gas-for-roubles scheme. "Payments for gas supplied from April 1 must be made in roubles using the new bank details, about which the counterparties were informed in a timely manner," Gazprom said. GasTerra, which buys and trades gas on behalf of the Dutch government, said it had made alternative arrangements to cover the 2 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas it had expected to receive from Gazprom through October. GasTerra said on Monday it had decided not to adopt the new payment system, which involved setting up accounts to convert euro payments to roubles.

After class, the children sit down for lunch of beef stew, leafy greens, ugali – maize flour porridge – and fresh fruit. Photograph: Brian Otieno/The GuardianAs in much of Africa, the number of people classed as obese in Kenya is on the rise: by 2030, the World Obesity Atlas says 1.4 million five to 19-year-olds will be obese. The government’s target is to reduce obesity prevalence from 28% in 2020 to 26% in 2025, and the clock is ticking. In low-income areas, cheap food and snacks are loaded with carbohydrates and fats – healthier options are more expensive. The worst aspect, says Ogweno, is that once people are diagnosed with conditions associated with obesity, they struggle to get treatment.

The travel industry had "many months" to hire the staff it needs to cope with an increase in demand but failed to do so, a government minister has said. Lord Stephen Parkinson, an arts minister, said the Department for Transport had spent months warning the travel sector about the need to prepare for a spike in demand following the coronavirus pandemic. He said the Government had warned there would be a significant increase in the number of people looking to go away on holiday, particularly during the half-term break and Jubilee weekend, but the industry had not recruited enough people to cope. "So we have been saying to the industry that they need to prepare for this, they need to have the staff that they need to make sure people can get away and enjoy holidays," Lord Parkinson told Sky News. "There has been many months where we have been back on the track, particularly since the vaccination, to this moment and the industry should have been recruiting people."

To be sure, 2020 and 2021 weren’t lost years: online spelling bees, including my own, blossomed, and 2021 saw the crowning of the first African American champion. The National Spelling Bee has held “at-large” bees to close the gap, but these bees are too few to compensate. Among remaining regional spelling bees, to economize and assuage lingering Covid fears, organizers have shifted to virtual bees, which are susceptible to cheating.

After a three-hour delay on short haul flights, customers can claim £220, or £350 for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km. If the flight is delayed for five hours, customers are entitled to a full refund within seven days, provided they do not catch the flight.

Beyond its impact on public health, the tobacco industry is 'poisoning our planet', the World Health Organization says. The tobacco industry is a far greater threat than many realise as it is one of the world’s biggest polluters, from leaving mountains of waste to driving global warming, the WHO charged Tuesday. In its report released on World No Tobacco Day, the UN agency called for the tobacco industry to be held to account and foot the bill for the cleanup. The report, “Tobacco: poisoning our planet”, looks at the impacts of the whole cycle, from the growth of plants to the manufacturing of tobacco products, to consumption and waste. And yet, despite tobacco industry marketing, WHO stressed that there is no evidence filters provide any proven health benefits over smoking non-filtered cigarettes.

More than 3,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine after more than three months of conflict, investigative news site iStories reported Tuesday. While the number is unlikely to reflect Russia’s actual losses in Ukraine, the figure already outstrips official estimates from Moscow’s Defense Ministry, iStories said. In a separate investigation, the BBC's Russian Service also reported that the country's military death toll had topped 3,000 in Ukraine, independently verifying the death of 3,052 troops.

The South Korean government should help companies build a hydrogen economy because using the renewable energy ensures growth as businesses race to cut their carbon footprint, Woo Tae-hee, vice chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said Tuesday at a forum on green hydrogen.“I believe it is time for us to turn the climate crisis into an opportunity to secure the hydrogen market and improve our economy with strong commitment and collective wisdom,” Woo said at the meeting jointly hosted by the KCCI and the International Finance Corporation.The vice chairman called on the Yoon Suk-yeol government to lay out what he said was a foundation to embolden companies to tap into the emerging market.Woo was referring to revisions to a regulation defining how companies should use hydrogen and what types of government support they would be given for exploring the latest technology. The National Assembly approved the new law Sunday after a yearlong deliberation.Park Young-il, deputy minister for international affairs at the Finance Ministry, said South Korea was the first major economy to have come up with a dedicated framework on hydrogen, adding support for a hydrogen economy would go beyond aiding the private sector to expand investment.“We will be utilizing all of our international networks including trust funds in international organizations … to build strategic partnerships with hydrogen producers,” Park said at the forum.Park added that the transition to a hydrogen economy would be rewarding as the shift would help cut the country’s reliance on fossil fuels for a more sustainable economy.Alfonso Garcia Mora, regional vice president for Asia and the Pacific at the IFC, highlighted innovative financial instruments as key to scaling up hydrogen production and making it commercially and environmentally viable in the long run.By Choi Si-young ( siyoungchoi@heraldcorp.com

Abortion rights protesters participate in nationwide demonstrations following the leaked Supreme Court opinion suggesting the possibility of overturning the Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision, in Seattle, Washington, U.S., May 14, 2022. Now, however, those activists are looking nervously to the United States, where a leaked Supreme Court ruling would, if confirmed, overturn the landmark Roe v Wade decision that legalized abortion there. Kathy Kageni-Oganga, a pastor at Kenya's Sozo Church of God, said she was praying that Roe v Wade is overturned but would still be surprised if it happened. Most U.S. experts believe that the U.S. court, with a 6-3 conservative majority including three justices appointed by Trump, will act to end or cut back abortion rights. Abortion rights campaigners fear that will worsen if Roe v Wade were struck down.

Dutch specialty chemicals maker DSM on Tuesday said it would merge with Swiss peer Firmenich in a deal involving shares and cash, to become a leading supplier of food ingredients and beauty and well-being products.

This means provinces would need to issue nearly 1.5 trillion yuan in coming weeks, based on finance ministry figures showing issuance of 1.85 trillion yuan, or 54% of the total, as of May 27. Meanwhile, policy advisers and thank tanks are stepping up calls for the central government to issue special bonds to help COVID-hit sectors and sustain infrastructure spending in the second half. China has set an annual economic growth target of around 5.5% this year but many economists believe that is increasingly out of reach. "The room for infrastructure investment is not big, and we need to avoid duplicate projects and ensure investment returns," said a policy insider.

(Reuters) - Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Tuesday it has fully cut off gas supplies to Dutch gas trader GasTerra after it had failed to make payments for gas delivered in April, making good on its promise to shut down deliveries over payment issues. Gazprom said on Tuesday the payments should be made in line with the gas-for-roubles scheme.

I like the idea of intercourse and am deeply interested in, and fascinated by, BDSM. I always wondered if I was asexual, because, all through secondary school, I was never sexually attracted to anyone. Now I’m older and unable to feel pleasure during intercourse, I wonder if this really is the issue. You are setting up for yourself a pattern of bypassing feelings during sex, and if this continues you are guaranteed unsatisfying sex indefinitely.

Ingenuity, a small 4-pound robotic scout that hitched a ride to the Red Planet last year, has recently sent back video documentation of its farthest and fastest flight yet. The helicopter's black-and-white navigation camera caught the excursion, showing a rare, bird's eye view of the Martian terrain. Ingenuity's camera is downward-facing, offering a "breathtaking sense of what it would feel like gliding 33 feet above the surface of Mars," said NASA Ingenuity team leader Teddy Tzanetos in a statement. In the video, Ingenuity soars through Mars' thin atmosphere over rippling sand, then midway through the journey, the landscape changes to disparate rocky fields. Those plans are sent as commands to the car-size Perseverance Mars rover, which then relays them to the helicopter.

Tammy Girl – the staple fashion brand for angsty teens and tweens of the early ’00s – is back and the launch on ASOS is a bit of a time trip. When we were all in the depths of our Avril Lavigne inspired fashion era, Tammy Girl understood the assignment. Tammy Girl sadly faded into obscurity in 2005, after BHS (another now-defunct high street powerhouse) bought it out. With a colour palette that’s brighter and more cheerful than what I remember (and very... pink), there are still elements of Tammy Girl’s original feel. Below you’ll find Bustle’s top five best buys from Tammy Girl’s comeback drop with ASOS.

(CNN) The loss of a plane carrying 22 people in Nepal has highlighted the dangers of air travel in a country often referred to as one of the world's riskiest places to fly. On this occasion in particular, poor weather is thought to have played a part, Binod B.K., an official from Nepal's home ministry, told CNN. The weather forecast for Pokhara at the time, according to Nepal's Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, was "generally cloudy with brief thundershowers."

The government has allocated up to 1 billion pounds ($1.2 billion) to support Britain's EV battery supply chain. Industry experts predict the country needs four to six large battery plants to sustain a healthy car industry. As EV batteries are heavy and expensive to transport, local production is seen as crucial to a thriving car industry. Lead times for new vehicles are long and EV battery chemistries vary, so production contracts must be concluded soon. Battery plants need plenty of land, vast amounts of preferably renewable power and water, and take years to build.

Telehealth Abortions Are Changing The Culture Of MedicineEnlarge this image Shane Tolentino for NPR Shane Tolentino for NPRRecent rule changes have increased access to abortion pills through the mail, using telehealth services. As many U.S. states gear up to restrict abortion access in anticipation of the Supreme Court possibly overturning Roe v. Wade, the medical professionals behind these services are preparing for an even bigger surge in demand. Groups that provide abortion pills are also preparing to face significant new obstacles, as anti-abortion states push back against expanded online access. Both patients and clinicians are testing the boundaries of this service that is fully legal in many states — but operates in a legal gray area in others.

Women in Japan could be forced to seek their partner’s consent before being prescribed the morning-after pill, which will reportedly be approved late this year – almost four decades after it was made available to women in the UK. Under Japan’s 1948 Maternal Protection Law, consent is already required for surgical abortions – with very few exceptions – a policy that campaigners say tramples over women’s reproductive rights. Campaigners are calling on health authorities to ditch the rule requiring women to gain written consent from their partners before a doctor can prescribe a course of abortion drugs. Japan took nine years to approve oral contraceptives, in 1999, but only six months to approve the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. “The reality is that for some women, abortion is not possible for financial reasons,” Shirai said.

Feral cats were shot dead at a US air base in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province, a tipster told The Korea Herald.Military personnel at the US Air Force’s Kunsan Air Base shot cats with pellet guns as a part of the Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Striking Hazard program, according to the tip from a person who participated in the BASH program firsthand in 2020.“The man in charge at the time openly bragged to me how he loved to shoot anything because he was authorized to do so, and he especially liked trying to get the cats,” said the tipster.According to a post uploaded on the base’s website in 2007 under the title of “BASH program is booming at Kunsan,” the scheme was implemented to keep runways clear of animals.“Airmen patrol the flightline daily using three primary methods to deter these hazards. Those methods include predator calls, noise cannons and shotguns,” the post read.But the tipster claimed that animals were killed even though they didn’t pose risks to the aircraft. The tipster, who said he dropped out of the BASH mission after just one ride with crew members, provided a photo of a dead cat supposedly shot dead by the team.“I found the cat about a mile from the aircraft flightline, meaning it didn’t pose any risk to aircraft, and because it was near the populated part of the base, it never should’ve been shot there,” he said.The Kunsan Air Base did not reply to an email asking about the BASH program.Last week, public broadcaster KBS reported that some 10 feral cats were shot dead at Osan Air Base, another US Air Force base located in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. A video showed someone who appears to be military personnel firing at a cat crouching in a cage with an air gun.Since July last year, the base began killing cats by shooting because euthanasia drugs are expensive and veterinarians can become traumatized. The practice has been stopped from the beginning of this year, an official at Osan said.By Park Han-na ( hnpark@heraldcorp.com

China is full of dedicated short-term rental facilities, serving as sort of mini hotels, offering shared and private rooms. Airbnb opened its mainland China business in 2016, and the business accounted for about 1% of the company’s overall revenue for the last few years, Barron’s previously reported. On an earnings call on May 3, the only mention of China came from chairman and CEO Brian Chesky, who said: “China is primarily an outbound business.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — It should have been the first day of a joyous week for Robb Elementary School students — the start of summer break. Instead on Monday, the first two of 19 children slain inside a classroom were being remembered at funeral visitations. Greg Abbott, speaking at a Memorial Day event in Longview, urged Texans to keep Uvalde in their prayers. “And as Texans, we must come together and lift up Uvalde and support them in every way that we possibly can. ___More on the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas: https://apnews.com/hub/uvalde-school-shooting

A stabbing in Dorchester Monday night resulted in life-threatening injuries, police said. Police went to the area of 4 Beauford Lane in Dorchester at about 7:57 p.m. after receiving a report of a person shot, Sergeant Detective John Boyle said. The victim was taken to a hospital, he said.

Arrests in both incidents were the result of two separate Boston police Youth Violence Strike Force investigations, Boston police said in a statement late Monday night. Boston police arrested nine people and recovered 10 guns within 90 minutes Monday in two separate incidents in Dorchester and Mattapan, one of which led to alleged assaults on police, officials said. Officers recovered three firearms: one that was allegedly discarded by Lewis and two that were allegedly discarded by Jacob-Barrows as they were fleeing, police said. Less than 90 minutes later, at about 6:15 p.m., officers arrested seven suspects and found seven firearms in the area of 17 Elizabeth St. in Mattapan, police said. All seven suspects from that incident are set to be arraigned in Dorchester Municipal Court, police said.

The thought haunts Latanya Byrd years after a driver racing down Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia struck and killed her 27-year-old niece, Samara Banks, and three of Banks’ young sons as they crossed the 12-lane road. And now, amid a national surge in traffic fatalities and studies showing Black communities have been hit even harder during the pandemic, plans to redesign the city’s “corridor of death” could be gaining traction. Roosevelt Boulevard is an almost 14-mile chaotic maze that passes through some of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods and census tracts with the highest poverty rates. Federal officials have pledged to prioritize equity in the wake of a disproportionate 23% jump in Black traffic fatalities in 2020. Preliminary data from the Philadelphia Police Department showed a decrease in 2021 to 133 fatalities, still above pre-pandemic levels.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Josie Albrecht drove frantically from house to house, retracing the school bus route she drives twice a day, delivering Uvalde’s children safely to and from school. But before she could pick them up and drive them home, a gunman walked into their school and started shooting. A few days later, she brought a toy school bus to place at his cross at the memorial. “Our kids can’t live like this, they can’t. We can’t let my kids, my grandkids live like this for the rest of their lives and for their kids’ lives,” he said.

(AP) — Fire raged through a chemical company Monday night just southwest of downtown Omaha, forcing some nearby residents to evacuate and leaving thousands without power. Omaha firefighters estimated it would be hours before the fire could be controlled. Those living nearby were initially encouraged to shelter in place, but an alert just before 9 p.m. urged residents between 13th and 20th, Leavenworth to Martha to evacuate. Those who could not evacuate were urged to stay inside with the windows closed. Omaha Public Power District said more than 2,500 customers were without electricity in the neighborhoods near the fire.

Virgin’s easing of its policy on employees displaying tattoos marks a significant shift in an industry that has long had strict criteria on who is suitable to be cabin crew and how they should look. In the early days, flight attendants were often the sons of businessmen who had financed the airlines.

The UK government’s National Careers Service says: “There are rules about height and weight – these vary between airlines. In 2016, a US poll found that 29% of people had a tattoo, up from 21% four years before.

“It’s hard to believe it’s actually happening.”A resident gets haircut on a street in Shanghai. Residents will have to get Covid tests every 72 hours to take public transport and enter public venues. China is alone among major countries enforcing an uncompromising “zero Covid” policy that aims to eradicate all outbreaks as soon as they occur at just about any cost. A survey of more than 600 members found 74% were “seriously impacted” by Covid zero policies, with almost 50% delaying planning investments. Shanghai reported 31 cases for 30 May, down from 67 a day earlier, all within controlled areas.

Buckingham Palace has asked the organisers of the Platinum Jubilee pageant not to “over-egg” the Queen and her family, as anti-royalists are factored into the celebrations. Pageant planners have been instructed to avoid “over-glorifying or over-egging”, as well as anything that looks “too aggrandising”, during the Sunday grand finale, the director has said. David Zolkwer said the final performance was designed to “not take itself quite so seriously” and that republicans would be included alongside “strident royalists”. “What’s interesting is that the feedback we’re getting is that if we’re over-glorifying, or over-egging, or if anything looks too aggrandising – that’s what they’re not comfortable with,” he told the Radio Times. “What they’re doing is ensuring that every reference to the Queen is appropriate.”A palace source confirmed the direction - explaining that the Queen and the wider Royal family do not believe the jubilee should be just about them, but a chance for the monarchy to “thank the public”.

The study found that there was a 34 per cent drop in heart operations across the world. The study found that, globally, the number of people dying from any cause among patients in hospital after having had a major heart attack or heart failure was up by 17 per cent. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) warned that more than 300,000 people in England are currently waiting for treatment. The longer people wait for treatment for a heart attack, the greater the damage to their heart muscle, causing complications that can be fatal or cause chronic ill-health. “Without this, we will continue to see heart attacks, lasting heart damage or even premature deaths that could have been avoided.

The idea that the show might end as it did – with a tear-jerkingly joyful celebration of young queer love in full bloom, depicted gorgeously – seemed impossible. And yet, something about Heartstopper, Doctor Who and this news from the world of football sat a little differently. “Young, British gay people being out and happy?

The NHS needs to increase its bed capacity by almost 10 per cent to tackle ambulance delays and A&E waiting times, according to a new report. Analysis by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine found the UK had lost almost 25,000 beds across the health service since 2010-11. The reduction has significant consequences for patients, the college said, including long waits to be admitted via A&E, an increase in ambulance handover delays and call-outs and cancelled operations. However, the college suggested a longer-term “realistic goal” of achieving the same bed capacity as in 2017-18, which would require an additional 10,000 beds - an eight per cent increase. The warning comes after A&E waiting times and ambulance delays hit record highs.

A judge has taken the rare step of naming a sperm donor who fathered children with fifteen lesbian women - despite knowing he had Fragile X syndrome. He chose to be a sperm donor despite knowing he could not go through a clinic because he has Fragile X syndrome, she said in a handed down judgment, and she had no confidence he would not act as a sperm donor in future. The judge branded EG and SW irresponsible for using him as a sperm donor without making proper inquiries but accepted that EG was desperate for a child. Around a third of those with Fragile X suffer from autism, with difficulty socialising and speaking. There is no cure for the rare condition which occurs in 1 in 4000 males and 1 in 6000 females.

It all started when Musk, 50, posted a meme by Hard Drive magazine without giving credit to the site on Memorial Day. The official Hard Drive account replied to the meme asking the world's richest man to stop 'cropping our names off our articles.'

The website began in 2014 as The Hard Times, in 2017 it expanded to a new vertical that was focused on gaming, named Hard Drive.

Rescue divers in Florida received cover from snipers as they searched alligator-infested waters for a mother and son whose car careened into a roadside pond on Friday. 'The vehicle lost control, overturned driving off of the roadway into the pond,' Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Alex Camacho said in the aftermath. 'Dive teams from fire rescue and Miami-Dade Police did their search and rescue, and were able to rescue an adult female and adult male inside of the vehicle at the time.' Authorities were also able to pull the car out of the water, and it was later towed away. Eventually, the crews were able to locate the blue minivan with Laza and Matos still inside, and first responders proceeded to administer CPR to the elderly woman.

Today, Memorial Day, CBS marks the third year of inviting musicians of all ages, abilities and instruments to join in the playing of Taps at 3 PM local time wherever they feel most comfortable and meaningful. His tradition of playing Taps soon caught the attention of his neighbors who share that as soon as they heard the melody begin, they would stop what they were doing and stand at attention to pay their respects. In July of 1862, following the bloody Seven Days battles, Union Brigadier General Daniel Adams Butterfield wanted a more melodic tune than the traditional Lights Out – a rather harsh bugle call signaling the end of the day that was borrowed from the French. The next day, I was visited by several buglers from neighboring Brigades, asking for copies of the music, which I gladly furnished. https://clintonwhitehouse5.archives.gov/remembrance/taps.htmlThis more emotive Taps soon was adopted throughout the military.

So even if the evil governor allows choice to be outlawed, the police in Austin will take no action against the woman nor the provider. I also think we should name all of these clinics, Freedom Clinics. Or Freedom Place. Or just Freedom. Not just because of unsafe abortions; but because carrying to term is a much higher health risk than abortion.

On Memorial Day 1997, my wife and I were in a town called Saint Avold on France’s Eastern Border with Germany. In Saint Avold there is an American military cemetery where 10,000 G.I.’s are buried, the largest number in any Second World War cemetery, many from the Battle of the Bulge. We happened to be in Saint Avold on American Memorial Day. Until a few years ago, there was just a small commemoration of American Memorial Day at the Saint Avold cemetery, attended mostly by the American staff. But through the efforts of Bertrand Cerf* and others, it has come to be a major Franco-American event, with equal participation by the French military, clergy and elected officials.

Thinking of having an abortion? Legal prohibitions are not a solution, since some women will have abortions no matter what laws are passed. Women thinking of having an abortion should seek mental health treatment. The solution for bad women having abortions is more good women having abortions. Law-abiding women should not be punished with abortions laws and restrictions just because other women have had abortions.

The juxtaposition of what Memorial Day commemorates with how the vast majority of Americans spend the day is always jarring to me.

Being unable to find this structure could indicate a brain anomaly, or just that the scan was done too early. Doctors might also pick up evidence of a heart defect but not know how severe or fixable it is. Six states currently ban or restrict abortion on the basis of genetic anomalies, some, such as Tennessee’s statute, specifically reference Down syndrome. But others, such as North Dakota’s, extend broader prohibitions based on potentially even more severe conditions than Down syndrome. These tests are currently routine for pregnant women, but whether they stay that way in the future could depend on where you live and what you can afford.

We have become estranged from its expression in our environment, and in our connection with the reciprocity of Life and Death. The acknowledgement of one half of this dyad, which, characteristically is call the Life cycle, dwarfs the other and cancels their reciprocity. Life and death, Ken Wilbur suggests, can be seen as a vibration like an ocean wave - a sine wave representing a fluid movement from peak to trough in a singular, indivisible action. Any society alert to its local environment on which it is manifestly dependent for its sustenance, will have a fuller understanding of life and death than a society in which money mediates and obscures how its food is obtained - which in either case, is inevitably through the death of other living organisms or their domestication to human needs. Robert Graves shows how the rituals associated with a mythological rather than a scientific interpretation of existence balance life and death in ways that are mutually enriching.

Earth Day Poster Design(Image by morgantj) Details DMCAThe Columbia Journalism Review recalls how the MSM covered the first Earth Day back in 1972, during the Nixon Administration. Tricky Dick went on to fund the EPA and the Clean Water Act in response. Although, Daniel Ellsberg writes in Doomsday Machine that he almost nuked North Vietnam, so he wasn't all good, either. The CJR is a good piece to read, recalling an era when sh*t got done by public demand on its elected officials. It's all "f*ck the public now," as Ralph Nader might say.

The world’s ruling elites have chosen to place their geopolitical rivalries above all other critical concerns, including planetary salvation. As a result, global warming is indeed likely to surpass 2 degrees Celsius sometime during this century. It’s a given that almost unimaginable calamities will ensue, including the inundation of major cities, monstrous wildfires, and the collapse of agriculture in many parts of the world..

Richard FeynmanObviously the invention of the door knob has far greater social impact than any of Einstein's theories. The Special Theory of Relativity (1905) is all about the behavior of light and motion relative to it. All matter comes from a primary substance; the lumimiferous AetherNiko TeslaThe Aether explains physical reality in a different way. Its negation was essential to Einstein's theories that establish an absolute and immutable value for the speed of light. Even though the elimination of the Aether is necessary to Einstein's theories, science now implies it exists.

It will be a journey of hundreds of daily actions, by thousands of people, leading to the desired destination of sustainable sanity. That does not require that we clearly understand the ultimate end of the journey although the potential goal may look daunting. In this case, at this moment in time, the purpose of the journey is to recover our sanity. And every one of us has the necessary supplies to begin that journey, a step at a time and a day at a time. The process will rely upon others seeing the positivity of our journeys and being willing to inquire how to join and begin their own journey.

'Your way doesn't work' Acosta schools NRA board member who claimed he's praying for scared children. Judge Journey said that the only reason people talk about guns after shootings is that politicians don't want to pay for mental health services. He commented that he was in Topeka, Kansas when the famous Menninger Foundation was defunded along with all other mental health facilities in the United States during the early 1980s. Funding mental health assistance is expensive, and no one cares about it.

Turkey on Sunday commemorated the 569th anniversary of the conquest of Istanbul, hailing it as the momentous start of a new era, Anadolu News Agency reported. Istanbul, a cosmopolitan city, was besieged 28 times throughout history before its conquest in 1453 by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II. Captain Giorcomo Coco, who was tasked with burning the Ottoman ships in the Golden Horn, failed and died inside his sinking vessel. The Ottoman Army started an offensive in the early hours of May 29. Finally, in the morning, the Ottoman soldiers managed to enter through the Kerkoporta door and erected the Ottoman flag on the bastion above the door.

Latin AmericaTeachers, transit workers stage protest in Colon, PanamaThe Colon Unity Coalition, in Colon Province announced last Monday that protest strikes would continue. Transit workers have paralyzed public transportation along the Province’s nine transit routes. Police attack Cordoba, Argentina city workers protesting inflationProtesting public employees in the city of Cordoba were attacked by police on Sunday, May 29, as they approached a bicycle festival race.

The demonstration brought together workers, university employees, street cleaners, transit, supermarket and health workers.

This was confirmed by Vallourec workers who spoke to the WSWS at the early shift change in Mülheim. But the works council did nothing until shortly before the end, he added, when the decision had already been made. Another worker reported that his criticism had been rejected out of hand by the works council. The works council and union supervisory board members and highly paid officials, who do not have to work on the production line, are profiting handsomely. But that requires a complete break with IG Metall and its works council representatives.

Contracts for 15,000 Minnesota nurses at 15 hospitals are heading towards expiration with no settlement for a new agreement in sight. Allina Nurses on strike at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Minneapolis-June 10, 2010 (WSWS)The Minnesota nurses’ contracts come amid a massive crisis in the health care system. This mighty strike wave makes clear that health care workers are determined to fight for themselves and their patients. Minnesota nurses, like health care workers everywhere, face understaffing problems, compounded by the pandemic, that lead to high levels of stress, burnout, depression and even suicide. These committees, democratically controlled by workers themselves, should unite nurses in the Twin Cities, Essentia nurses in Duluth, along with all other health care workers.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern answers a question during a press conference at Parliament in Wellington, New Zealand. In her Harvard speech, Ardern said nothing about the role of far-right politicians, including Donald Trump, in fuelling Tarrant’s ideology. Instead, she blamed the attack on social media and promoted her government’s push for global internet censorship, dubbed the Christchurch Call to Action. According to Worldometers, New Zealand recorded 20 COVID deaths per million in the past seven days, the eighth-highest weekly death rate in the world. As the world hurtles towards war, Ardern told the media that she would encourage greater US “engagement” in the Pacific region.

The specific allegation at issue is that I failed to follow a directive to withhold information about changes in COVID-19 contact tracing from the Cleveland community. But now, individual contact tracing is no longer offered, and the mask mandate has been abandoned since early March. Many teachers, parents and school staff are outraged by Brown’s firing. The lack of contact tracing is horrible. Contact tracing is an important part of that layered approach.

Sri Lankan government medical officers protest outside the national hospital in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Thursday, April 7, 2022. Health workers, including doctors, nurses, paramedical staff and other medical workers have been in the forefront of these struggles. The budget allocation for defence in 2020 was 290 billion rupees, while health spending was just 254 billion rupees; in 2021 defence received 380 billion rupees with 286 billion rupees for health. This year, 373 billion rupees were allocated for defence and 225 billion rupees for health, the lowest amount for health sector in the past three years. The allies of the Sri Lankan workers in this struggle are their international class brothers and sisters who are facing the similar attacks around the world.

This week a Kandy Hospital surgical ward doctor contacted the WSWS to voice her concerns about the alarming scarcity of medicines and surgical equipment. It has to be executed by the medical staff and puts the lives of the patients in danger as it is a risky method of treatment. With the lack of proper medical equipment, the staff has been forced to watch patients die one by one helplessly. The threefold increase of the cost of petrol has been impossible to afford for many medical staff members here. Apart from these issues, more and more medical personnel have been forced to leave the country, further increasing the workload and need for medical staff, ultimately resulting in the downfall of medical practice in Sri Lanka.

The authorities in Omaha urged some residents to evacuate on Monday after a fire at a chemical plant sent clouds of black smoke billowing over the city, officials said. The fire started just before 7 p.m. at a plant owned by Nox-Crete, a company based in Nebraska that manufactures chemical products, Scott Fitzpatrick, a battalion chief with the Omaha Fire Department, said. There were no immediate reports of injuries. However, the authorities urged people who live near the Nox-Crete plant, which is south of downtown Omaha, to evacuate Monday night because smoke from the fire was threatening to blow over a residential area, Chief Fitzpatrick said. “We’re unsure what exactly is in there, but we do know there are some chemicals that are burning,” he said, adding that about 50 firefighters were still battling the blaze late Monday night.

Two women were missing after a group of people on flotation devices went over a 12-foot drop in a Virginia river on Memorial Day. Ten other people were rescued from the James River in Richmond after going over Bosher’s Dam around 3 p.m., according to WRIC-TV. “After a very thorough search today, this evening, we ceased operations this evening because of nightfall,” the Richmond Fire Department reportedly said. Footage of another rescue downstream from the incident around the same time showed how perilous conditions were on the raging whitewater river, according to the station. The Richmond Fire Department was unable to find the women by nightfall but said it would resume searches the following day.

A Southern California doctor was sentenced to prison on Friday for trying to smuggle hydroxychloroquine into the US and hawk it as a “miracle cure” COVID-19 treatment, officials said. He peddled COVID-19 “treatment kits” in March and April 2020 as the pandemic began spreading in the US and months before vaccinations were available. The COVID “treatment kits” were sold in and around San Diego at Staley’s Skinny Beach Med Spas locations. An undercover agent bought six of Staley’s “treatment kits” for $4,000. In a later phone call with the agent, Staley suddenly offered to throw in doses of generic Viagra and Xanax — a federally controlled substance — unsolicited.

Residents of Omaha have been asked to evacuate their homes after a massive fire erupted at a chemical company near the city’s downtown area, officials said. Just before 9 p.m. responders urged those living between 13th and 20th Street from Leavenworth Street to Martha Street, after having previously been advised to shelter in place. By 9:30 p.m., over 2,500 customers were without power in the area, according to the Omaha Public Power District.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. --A trio of rock climbers set out early Sunday morning to enjoy the technical climb and pristine views on Mount Meeker in the Rocky Mountain National Park but never made the summit after an avalanche engulfed the climbers. At 9 a.m. the rocks and snow gave way, burying the group in a rock slide and avalanche. DANGERS OF AVALANCHES AND HOW TO STAY SAFE ON THE SLOPESOther climbers that witnessed the slide near the Dreamweaver Couloir called for assistance, according to the public affairs officer at the Rocky Mountain National Park. Initial responders, the Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue Team, called in a National Guard Helicopter once the airmen got a break in the weather at 2 p.m. to extricate the climber via a hoist.

Dear Carolyn: From late high school on, my younger brother has chosen to distance himself from family. My brother is supersmart, high school valedictorian, etc., so I think he felt marginalized at school. Should there be a point where my brother just once allows the level of “family togetherness” that the rest of us expect? He felt alien in high school, came into his own in college and blazed a new trail from there — for which he got grief. If his family chose to support the man he is, instead of grieve the man he isn't, do you think he'd visit more?

This week was supposed to kick off the summer vacation for Robb Elementary School students in Uvalde, Texas, but following a mass shooting last week, many people in the community are instead spending their week attending the funeral services for the 21 victims. A gathering for 10-year-old Amerie Jo Garza was held at Hillcrest Memorial Funeral Home Monday, while another visitation for 10-year-old Maite Rodriguez was at the small town's other funeral home. Uvalde’s limited resources made the volume of funeral services difficult to manage, so funeral directors, embalmers and morticians from across the state of Texas have assisted in the process.

Hurricane Agatha, one of the earliest and strongest hurricanes on record to strike North America from the Pacific, made landfall in Mexico on Monday afternoon, forecasters said. The storm arrived at 4 p.m. CT, landing about 25 miles south-southeast of the surfing mecca Puerto Escondido, with sustained winds believed to be as strong as 105 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. Agatha is also the earliest first named hurricane in the eastern North Pacific since 2015's Andres, according to Philip Klotzbach, a Colorado State University meteorologist and hurricane expert. Landfall may have thwarted at least some of Agatha's energy late Monday as the forecast for sustained winds brought a reduced estimate of 70 mph. The warnings mean maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph, storm surges and coastal flooding.

(NOAA via AP)PUERTO ESCONDIDO, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane Agatha made history as the strongest hurricane ever recorded to come ashore in May during the eastern Pacific hurricane center, making landfall on a sparsely populated stretch of small beach towns and fishing villages in southern Mexico. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said the storm should dissipate overnight, but warned that the system’s heavy rains still posed a threat of dangerous flash floods for Mexico’s southern states. The government’s Mexican Turtle Center — a former slaughterhouse turned conservation center in Mazunte — closed to visitors because of the hurricane.

A woman was wounded in a shooting Monday near DuSable Harbor. She was riding a bicycle about 10 p.m. in the 200 block of North Breakwater Access when a male shouted at her and fired shots, Chicago police said. The 19-year-old was struck in the thigh and taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition, police said. The shooting is the latest to take place in the downtown area, which has seen several high-profile attacks in May. In response, Mayor Lori Lightfoot instituted a rule requiring anyone under 18 be accompanied by a “responsible adult” to enter the park after 6 p.m. from Thursday to Sunday evenings.

I accept that they’re a married couple and occasionally want to travel without the rest of their family. However, recently it came to my attention that Mom bought two tickets to Europe for her and Dad as a birthday gift. She used the money she had been saving for a family vacation to pay for them. While family vacations are wonderful and memorable, so are milestone birthdays such as the one that’s approaching for your dad. I had received 30 email birthday wishes that day and didn’t acknowledge any of them.

Boston Police officers took 15 guns off the street last week, as the department reports a “troubling” uptick of kids carrying firearms ahead of the summer months. “We’re seeing a troubling theme of a lot of juveniles carrying firearms,” Boston Police Sgt. On Middleton Street, officers saw multiple shell casings and a discarded scooter. Officers then found the two juveniles on a nearby back porch and recovered a loaded firearm. The officers recovered an FMK 9 mm firearm with one round in the chamber and 12 rounds in the magazine.

Boston police officers arrested nine suspects and took 10 guns off the street in Dorchester and Mattapan on Monday following two BPD Youth Violence Strike Force investigations. Members of the BPD Youth Violence Strike Force arrested Donta Lewis, 28, of Boston, and Lamont Jacobs-Barrows, 21, of Walpole, on firearm charges. Then at about 6:15 p.m., members of the BPD Youth Violence Strike Force arrested seven suspects while recovering seven firearms in the area of 17 Elizabeth St. in Mattapan. “As the officers attempted to secure the suspect for transport, a large and unruly crowd began to gather around the arresting officers,” BPD said.

UVALDE, Texas – It should have been the first day of a joyous week for Robb Elementary School students – the start of summer break. Instead on Monday, the first two of 19 children slain inside a classroom were being remembered at funeral visitations. This week alone, funerals are planned for 11 children and teacher Irma Garcia. Greg Abbott, speaking at a Memorial Day event in Longview, urged Texans to keep Uvalde in their prayers. “And as Texans, we must come together and lift up Uvalde and support them in every way that we possibly can.

The alleged shoplifter, a 30-year-old man, was shot in the face and crashed his truck a few miles away, according to police. She said her bother told her – through writing and nodding – the employee had shot him as he left the gas station. The video showed Orona grab something from near the register, put it in his waistband and walk back outside. Police said the video showed Orona raise his arms toward the truck with a black object in his hand and his arms jerk slightly.

The Aviation Department paid primary contractor Flintco $189,779 more than it was obligated to pay, the city’s Office of Internal Audit determined. “The Aviation Department is currently consulting with the City’s Legal Department regarding the recovery of funds,” spokesman Jonathan Small said in an emailed response to Journal questions. Flintco, however, said the city has no grounds to seek money from the company, saying it fulfilled its obligations and the Aviation Department accepted its work at project’s completion. The audit says the city could have required Flintco to pay $1,500 per day in damages for delays resulting from Flintco’s replacement of its electrical subcontractor. “The prior Administration (under Mayor Richard Berry) requested ‘to make the carousel look as complete as possible for a photo opportunity for City Administration,'” the audit said, citing a city administration-requested change order.

Uvalde: Visitations, funerals and burials, one after anotherUVALDE, Texas (AP) — It should have been the first day of a joyous week for Robb Elementary School students — the start of summer break. Instead on Monday, the first two of 19 children slain inside a classroom were being remembered at funeral visitations. EU Council President Charles Michel said the agreement covers more than two-thirds of oil imports from Russia. “There was massive fraud at an industrial level and an organization of fake tickets because of the pre-filtering by the Stade de France and the French Football Federation, 70% of the tickets were fake tickets coming into the Stade de France,” Interior minister Gérald Darmanin said. "Fifteen percent of fake tickets also were after the first filtering ... more than 2,600 tickets were confirmed by UEFA as non-validated tickets even though they’d gone through the first filtering.

Two women are missing after a group of 12 people went over a dam in the James River on Monday afternoon. RFD's first boat went into the water at 3:22 p.m., where alongside civilian kayakers, the fire department was able to rescue and account for 10 people. Nine of those individuals were taken to a reunification center at Station 25 to meet with family members. Above six feet is deemed "too high" for "average paddlers" due to powerful rapids. The search for the two remaining people continued through the afternoon and until nightfall.

Greenpeace and obstetricians have questioned a scientific report warning pregnant women to consider alternatives to nitrous oxide as pain relief during childbirth because of the environmental impact of its emissions. Using nitrous oxide as pain relief during a four-hour labour creates a carbon footprint equivalent to driving an average car for 1,500km, the report’s authors found, whereas an epidural is equivalent to driving 6km. Ultimately, the authors argue, educating patients about the emissions impact of nitrous oxide could lead to them choosing an alternative. “If pregnant women in labour were denied a proven safe and effective pain relieving method, I’d think we’d be going down the wrong path,” Pecoraro said. “Pregnant women don’t need to be picked on given all the contributors to global warming,” she said.

Journalists covering the Chinese foreign minister’s tour of the Pacific say they have been blocked from filming or accessing events, and that not a single question from a Pacific journalist has been allowed to be asked of Wang Yi. The allegations raise serious press freedom concerns and alarm about the ability of Pacific journalists to do their jobs, particularly as the relationship between the region and China becomes closer. The Pacific Islands Forum intervened to allow the filming to continue, but Movono said that Chinese officials stood in front of the camera, trying to block the shot. Movono said that the joint press conference from Wang and Bainimarama on Monday afternoon was managed by Chinese officials. There were only two questions permitted, one from a Solomons journalist to the islands’ foreign minister, and one from Chinese media to Wang.

If you keep accepting flight changes your flight can be moved further and further (within a five hour window of the accepted change) and you won’t get your money back.

The West End may look as though it has shrugged off Covid, yet the brutal truth is that the many shows that before lockdown enjoyed full houses are playing to empty seats. The most obvious reason is the absence of international tourists, notably the Asian market thanks largely to China’s extreme Covid measures. This leaves West End theatres with a gaping shortfall, which is particularly bad news for large-scale theatres such as the Palladium and the Dominion. “I’ve always thought I would like to have a big beautiful theatre.

Certainly not young women who have been brought up to be “sex-positive”. It’s a beautiful idea: sexual freedom and enjoyment for all and personally I cannot wait for this revolution to happen. What kind of sexual revolution was this then and why have so many liberal feminists not only gone along with it but actively promoted it? Perry has been compared to a modern Mary Whitehouse, but she is no prude. The sexual revolution has been responsible for so many women faking it for the sake of men whereas a real revolution would focus on what women actually want.

There were no narrators in her films, no propulsive music or quick cuts to tell viewers how to experience what they were seeing. Her pacing was almost languid; she allowed her subjects to tell their stories in their own way and in their own time. And she hated the word “interview.”“‘Interviews were for subjects,’ she would say,” said Ester Gould, who was a co-writer, researcher and assistant producer on many of Ms. Honigmann’s films. Ms. Honigmann’s readers took to their roles with gusto and often confided their own erotic histories. Graphic, sensual, tender and at times very funny, the film is a rumination on desire, memory and age.

Regardless of where the storms pass, a few factors suggest Kottlowski and others might be correct in predicting an active hurricane season. The most active year in history was 2020, with 30 named storms, and the third-most active year was 2021, with 21 named storms. Compare that to water temperatures outside the Loop Current, which is about 78 degrees at 120 feet deep. If a storm passes over the Loop Current, or an eddy that breaks off of the Loop Current, it sometimes jump-starts the rapid intensification process, meaning wind speeds increase at least 35 mph in a 24-hour period. Scientists such as Hugh Willoughby, distinguished research professor at Florida International University’s Department of Earth and Environment, are checking whether global warming has an influence on the Loop Current or other storm factors.

French officials on Monday continued their centuries-long battle to preserve the purity of the language, overhauling the rules on using English video game jargon. The culture ministry, which is involved in the process, told AFP the video game sector was rife with anglicisms that could act as “a barrier to understanding” for non-gamers. France regularly issues dire warnings of the debasement of its language from across the Channel, or more recently the Atlantic. Among several terms to be given official French alternatives were “cloud gaming”, which becomes “jeu video en nuage”, and “eSports”, which will now be translated as “jeu video de competition”. The ministry said experts had searched video game websites and magazines to see if French terms already existed.

What marks all of these people is not just the lies they told others – but the lies they must have told themselves. We lie to ourselves to protect our self-images, which allows us to act immorally while maintaining a clear conscience. According to the very latest research, self-deception may have even evolved to help us to persuade others; if we start believing our own lies, it’s much easier to get other people to believe them, too. In an ingenious experiment from 2011, she showed that many people unconsciously employ self-deception to boost their egos. This time, however, the participants were given a financial reward for accurately predicting their results in the second test; overconfidence would come with a penalty.

Russia has lost the Ukraine war as it would not have achieved any rational objective by the end of it and had made a "wrong bet" on Moscow, former foreign secretary said on Monday.

KHARKIV, Ukraine — They lie in white and black bags at 20 degrees below zero Celsius, but the stench is still overpowering. Ukraine says 30,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since the invasion began Feb. 24; those numbers are impossible to independently verify, and Russia rarely gives casualty tolls. Estimates based on publicly available evidence suggest that well over 400 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded in one incident alone this month in northeastern Ukraine. Last week, for the first time since Russia invaded, President Vladimir Putin visited a military hospital in Moscow to visit wounded soldiers. One of the soldiers handling the Russian corpses in Kharkiv said he hoped Ukraine’s decision to safeguard Russia’s war dead may improve its chances of getting its own back from behind enemy lines.

Zhu Hai Yun, launched last week, has a wide deck equipped to carry dozens of unmanned vehicles including drones, unmanned ships and submersibles, reported the South China Morning Post.

The drone mothership is expected to be commissioned by the end of the year after sea trials. Timothy Heath, a senior security analyst from the U.S. think tank Rand told the South China Morning Post that the vessel could definitely be used for military applications. Beijing recently announced it was working on small drone swarming capabilities and platforms able to field aerial drones at sea.

“Ocean currents have an advantage in terms of their accessibility in Japan,” said Ken Takagi, a professor of ocean technology policy at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Frontier Sciences. While tidal flows don’t run 24 hours, they tend to be stronger than deep ocean currents. Ocean Energy Systems, an intergovernmental collaboration established by the International Energy Agency, sees the potential to deploy more than 300 gigawatts of ocean energy globally by 2050. One of the advantages of the deep ocean current is it doesn’t restrict navigation of ships, IHI said. If successful at scale, deep ocean currents could add a vital part in providing green baseline power in the global effort to phase out fossil fuels.

A new San Diego proposal would ban beach bonfires fueled by wood or coal unless those fires are inside the limited number of designated fire rings provided by the city. The change would also bring San Diego’s beaches in line with other state beaches that already ban makeshift wood-fueled beach fires. “I support safe, legal beach fires,” said Councilmember Joe LaCava, who is spearheading the effort. They said wood-fueled beach bonfires are such a tradition in San Diego for residents and tourists that enforcing a ban will be difficult. “Lifeguards routinely put out fires and remove hazardous debris from illegal beach fires that could injure beach patrons,” said Marine Safety Capt.

He spent the next 35 to 45 agonizing minutes scanning the children fleeing Robb Elementary School for his 9-year-old “firecracker,” Jacklyn.

Ukraine’s victory at the Eurovision Song Contest brought national pride, joy and artistic prestige to the country amid the devastation of war. Now, it will also help supply drones to the Ukrainian army. Kalush Orchestra, the Ukrainian band that won Eurovision after sweeping the phone-in popular vote, put its trophy and the pink bucket hat worn by its lead singer during the contest up for auction, and the items netted more than $1.2 million, the band’s spokeswoman said in a statement on Monday. “We believe that this is only the first victory before our biggest victory over the Russian aggressor,” Oleh Psiuk, the band’s lead singer, said in a Telegram message.

An interview with Taiwan’s foreign minister published in an Israeli newspaper has reportedly ruffled feathers in China. Jerusalem Post editor Yaakov Katz said he received a call from the Chinese embassy in Israel, insisting that his outlet take down the interview.

FILE PHOTO - Swinoujscie LNG terminal, liquefied natural gas terminal operated by Poland's state-owned gas transmission company Gaz-System, is pictured in Swinoujscie, Poland May 27, 2022. France, Germany and the Netherlands among others will need to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) to replace pipelined gas from Russia, which has been hit by sanctions during the Ukraine conflict. European users are grabbing floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) needed to convert LNG to gas, leaving little left for Australian import projects that aim to fill an expected gas supply gap from 2024. The country is therefore proceeding with LNG import projects, but most have not yet reached the stage of locking in customers or regasification infrastructure, and are getting pipped on FSRUs by European users.
