In Bulgaria, politicians have claimed that children in rural schools are being forced to study Islam, but locals say the politicians are just trying to play the anti-Muslim card ahead of European and local elections. |
The village of Ribvono lies in the south-west of Bulgaria. At first glance, tucked up high in the mountains, it seems a million miles away from the politicking of the capital Sofia. However, accusations that the village is the staging ground for the growth of radical Islam in the region has put the people there in focu... |
“This is just a clash between two parties, nothing more. The first wants one thing, the other strives for something different. Here in the village there is no conflict and the state should not interfere,” says local resident Rujab Serakov. |
The head of the school in Ribvono explained to RT that Islam is only taught in class if a child's parents request it, all in accordance with Bulgarian law. |
The citizens say that the controversy around Islam only serves the interests of politicians in Sofia. The predominantly Muslim community of Ribvono says that the accusation that children being forced into Islam is ridiculous. |
With elections in the country looming and opposition concern over teaching methods rising, the chances that this issue will disappear anytime soon in Bulgaria remain slim. |
HONG KONG – Hong Kong authorities cleared more street barricades from a pro-democracy protest camp in a volatile district Wednesday, part of a two-day operation in which police arrested more than 100 people, including key student leaders. |
Police in helmets swiftly cleared obstructions from the 2-month-old protest site in Mong Kok, across Victoria Harbor from the main occupied area in the financial district. Some officers used shears to cut apart plastic ties holding together metal barricades while others tore down tents and canopies and carried away oth... |
Police said 116 people have been arrested for offences including unlawful assembly and assaulting or obstructing police. One man was held for possessing offensive weapons including an axe, hammer and crowbar. Among those arrested were student leaders Joshua Wong, the 18-year-old head of the Scholarism group, and Lester... |
The arrests of Wong and Shum could reinvigorate the protest movement, which has been losing steam as the Hong Kong government's apparent strategy of waiting out the student-led protesters left them with few options. Organizers estimated that as many as 200,000 people took to the semiautonomous Chinese city's ... |
The protesters are demanding that Hong Kong's government scrap a plan mandated by China's Communist leaders to use a panel of Beijing-friendly elites to screen candidates for top leader in inaugural 2017 elections. |
Local media reports said 4,000 officers were on hand to enforce the court injunction granted to taxi drivers to remove obstructions from a 1,475-foot stretch of Nathan Road, a busy artery in Kowloon, where the blue-collar Mong Kok district is located. |
An effort Tuesday by authorities working under a separate court order to clear a smaller, adjacent part of the protest site descended into chaos as protesters scuffled with police for hours into the evening. Twenty officers were hurt in the scuffles, police said. |
Wong and Shum were among those arrested for storming a courtyard next to government headquarters on the evening of Sept. 26. Their prolonged detentions helped spark the ongoing protest movement by angering other young supporters, who poured into the streets two days later to take over busy thoroughfares in Mong Kok and... |
Not since the days of Jumbo Ozaki has Japan had a golfer earn the status of national hero, but a 16-year-old is close to doing just that after an impressive nine-month stretch in which he has revitalized the nation's interest in golf. |
How did Ryo Ishikawa do it? For starters, he became the youngest winner of a Japan Golf Tour event when he won the Munsingwear Open KSB Cup as a 15-year-old last May. To compare, 1911 U.S. Open champ Johnny McDermott (19 years, 10 months) is the youngest winner of a PGA Tour-sanctioned event. |
After Ishikawa's victory, he made the cut in several Japanese tour events as an amateur, including a T-32 at the Dunlop Phoenix in November. He also won the Japan Junior Golf Championship in August and decided to turn pro in January. His father, Katsumi, said Ryo will play the Japanese tour starting in April, which sho... |
"It was amazing not only to see how well he could play but also how much the galleries go crazy for him," says British Open champion Padraig Harrington, who tied for fifth at the Dunlop. |
Ishikawa has become so popular so fast, a report in a Japanese newspaper said he has generated 6 billion yen (about $55 million) of economic growth for the nation's golf industry. The Japan Golf Tour, which dropped from 44 events in 1990 to 24 in 2007, added new sponsors such as Toyota and Canon thanks in part to his p... |
Although Ishikawa is only 5-feet-6, 141 pounds, he averages more than 290 yards off the tee, and he seems to have the right blend of talent, charisma, looks and modesty. The "Coy Prince," as he his known by the Japanese media, told Golf Digest in an e-mail that he's not worried about burning out at an early age. |
"I enjoy practice. I never get bored of it," he wrote through an interpreter. "I hope to play in the Masters when I'm 20. I have dreamed of winning the Masters since I first saw it on TV when I was only 10." |
His lone scheduled appearance in the United States this year is at the Hawaii Pearl Open (Feb. 8-10) on Oahu. |
WASHINGTON, CMC – The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) says the Caribbean as well as the rest of the Americas can reach the goal of ending tuberculosis (TB) in the next decade if countries are able to accelerate progress achieved so far, including reducing even more the number of deaths and new cases annually. |
Ahead of World TB Day, which is celebrated on March 24, PAHO is urging countries to take the necessary steps to close the gaps in the care of people with tuberculosis, ensure early diagnosis with available new technologies, and work with the most vulnerable populations. |
The international health organisation is also calling for sustainable financing for national tuberculosis programmes “so that countries can reach the goal of ending tuberculosis by 2030. |
“While the Region of the Americas has managed to reduce new cases and deaths from tuberculosis in the last 15 years, ending this disease is only possible if progress is accelerated,” said Dr Marcos Espinal, Director of the Department of Communicable Diseases and Environmental Determinants of Health at PAHO. |
“Countries should expand access to diagnosis with rapid molecular tests and timely quality treatment for those who need it. They must also work with people, communities and other sectors on the social determinants that facilitate transmission of this disease,” he added. |
In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated 282,000 new cases of tuberculosis in the Americas, 11 per cent of which were in people living with the HIV virus. |
WHO said 87 per cent of cases were concentrated in 10 countries, with Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico and Peru reporting two thirds of the total cases and deaths. |
According to a PAHO report published in September 2018, an estimated 24,000 people died in 2017 from tuberculosis in the region and 6,000 of them were co-infected with HIV. |
Little Big Town is known for delivering concert memories that last a lifetime, and the opening the band has planned to kick off the 2018 CMT Music Awards will be no different. |
Fairchild co-wrote the song with Jesse Frasure, Cary Barlowe and Sam Romans, and it’s the first release from the next Little Big Town album. |
Fairchild explains the group has been writing “a ton” of material as a band and in different combinations. And some of the songs are so good, they’re having a hard time figuring out which ones to save for later and which ones fit the arc of the next record. |
The group heads to the show nominated in three categories including group video of the year for “When Someone Starts Loving You,” a song they performed at the 2017 show. Little Big Town hosts the 2018 CMT Music Awards live at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday (June 6) at 8 p.m. ET. |
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Britain need not send a formal letter to the European Union to trigger a two-year countdown to its exit from the bloc, EU officials said, implying British Prime Minister David Cameron could start the process when he speaks at a summit on Tuesday. |
“‘Triggering’ ... could either be a letter to the president of the European Council or an official statement at a meeting of the European Council duly noted in the official records of the meeting,” a spokesman for the council of EU leaders said. |
Cameron will brief the other 27 national leaders over dinner at a European Council summit in Brussels on Tuesday on the outcome of Thursday’s referendum at which Britons voted to leave the EU, prompting him to announce he will resign. |
On Friday, he said he would leave it to his successor as Conservative party leader and premier to trigger Article 50 of the EU treaty, which sets out a two-year process to quit the bloc. That appeared to be a reversal of a pledge to launch the process immediately after the vote. It has angered EU leaders who want a qui... |
Some European leaders still expect Cameron himself to start the process in the coming days or weeks, officials said on Saturday. British officials were not immediately available. |
Some Brexit campaigners have long said that Britain should aim to negotiate a comprehensive new relationship with the EU, seeking access to markets without submitting to EU rules or open migration, before binding itself into the two-year timetable that would be fixed for talks if Article 50 is triggered. |
Such talk worries EU officials and leaders who fear that a prolonged haggling with London will further increase the risk of a domino effect of nationalist-led demands for exit from other states. They do not see a legal way to force Britain to start the process but have piled political pressure on Cameron to honor his p... |
The Council spokesman made clear that leaders cannot simply choose to interpret something Cameron says as the trigger without the prime minister saying clearly he means it to be. |
“The notification of Article 50 is a formal act and has to be done by the British government to the European Council,” the spokesman said. “It has to be done in an unequivocal manner with the explicit intent to trigger Article 50. |
Since the shock vote on Thursday, won 52-48 percent by the Leave camp in defiance of polls and the bulk of the British establishment, there have been calls in Britain for the result to be reviewed or for parliament to ignore the referendum. |
If a state fails to agree a departure treaty with the others, EU law simply stops applying to it after two years. |

You may have identified your next career, but giving up the security of the current one will take energy, money and time. |
Megan Vaites worked in product information and design roles at the same company for 20 years. But a desire lingered to follow in her mother’s and grandmother’s footsteps and go into nursing. |
She considered changing careers. But with a steady job and children at home, going back to school always seemed unimaginable, she said. |
You may have identified your next career, but giving up the security of the current one will take energy, money and time. Before you quit your current gig, take these five expert-recommended steps to be sure you’re making the right decision. |
Evaluate your current work life and why you want to switch careers. |
“They might dislike their boss or that particular work environment, but a lot of times it’s not really the career specifically they need to change. It’s the dynamic in their current workplace,” said Juliet Murphy, chief executive officer of Juliet Career Development in Tustin, Calif. |
Or it may indeed be the career itself. Emily Shortell of Long Beach, New York, determined her problem was her design career after finding the same unhappiness while working in multiple environments, including a handbag company, a marketing company and a guitar string manufacturer. Now, she’s pursuing a career in the ve... |
Identify the source of your dissatisfaction by making a list of what you dislike in your job. Disliking multiple things related to the fundamental function of your role may signal it’s time for a change. |

Explore what it takes to enter your desired field and the likely places of employment. Shortell, for example, didn’t quit her design job until she’d looked into state licensing laws and found an accredited veterinary technician program. |
Start with the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook. It offers details on different jobs and median salaries, the projected outlook for opportunities, and education and training requirements. |
Find people in the sort of role you aspire to and ask to pick their brain about the job market and local outlook. LinkedIn is one resource, but also make connections through friends and family referrals, industry conferences, alumni groups, local professional groups or meetups and business journals. |
Ask questions that test your assumptions about your desired career, such as what the day-to-day duties are and how the majority of time is spent, suggested Dorie Clark, a marketing strategy consultant, professional speaker and author in New York City. |
“Those are the most important questions because you may have a hyper-glamorized view about television news, for example, but if mostly you’re spending your time working phones and doing logistics for catering for guests then that might not be the thing you want to spend your time doing,” Clark said. |
Evaluate your skills, on your own or by consulting a certified career counselor, to see which are transferrable to your new career and what you need to improve upon. You may have to take a certificate program or enroll in online courses, or go back to school altogether if your desired new career requires a different co... |
To fill gaps in specific skills, take on additional responsibilities at your job or consider volunteering. |
A job posting in your desired field will list the skills and responsibilities required; use them to tailor your resume. Include only those achievements and strengths that relate to the new career. |
“Let’s say you want to transition into being an event manager. If you’ve only done data analysis, you’re not going to pepper your resume with your data analysis accomplishments,” Coyne said. Emphasize instead how you also worked with budgets, for instance, or coordinated a conference. |
“Your resume is just a story about how you can fit the opportunity,” she said. |
