Constitutional referendum to remove presidential term limits divides Central African Republic
By JEAN FERNAND KOENA and ZANE IRWIN
Associated Press
BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — The Central African Republic went to the polls Sunday in a highly anticipated vote on a new constitution, which could remove presidential term limits. The new constitution would replace the one adopted at President Faustin Archange Touadera’s inauguration in 2016, during the country’s civil war and when 80% of the it was not under state control. Analysts say if the new constitution is passed, it could entrench the ruling party’s power indefinitely. The mineral-rich but impoverished nation has faced fighting since 2013, when predominantly Muslim Seleka rebels seized power and forced then-President Francois Bozize from office. Mostly Christian militias later fought back, also targeting civilians in the streets. | https://kion546.com/ap-colorado/2023/07/30/constitutional-referendum-to-remove-presidential-term-limits-divides-central-african-republic/ | 2023-07-30T11:31:23 | 0 | https://kion546.com/ap-colorado/2023/07/30/constitutional-referendum-to-remove-presidential-term-limits-divides-central-african-republic/ |

High winds stall efforts to tow a burning cargo ship packed with cars off northern Dutch coast
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch authorities say high winds in the North Sea are delaying efforts to tow a burning cargo ship carrying thousands of new cars to safety off the coast of the Netherlands. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management says the ship, the Fremantle Highway, is unlikely to be moved in the coming days due to the weather. The ship was floating north of a chain of Dutch islands on Sunday. The Fremantle Highway is transporting 3,783 new vehicles, including 498 electric vehicles, from the German port of Bremerhaven to Singapore. The cause of the fire has not been determined. | https://kion546.com/ap-colorado/2023/07/30/high-winds-stall-efforts-to-tow-a-burning-cargo-ship-packed-with-cars-off-northern-dutch-coast/ | 2023-07-30T11:31:29 | 0 | https://kion546.com/ap-colorado/2023/07/30/high-winds-stall-efforts-to-tow-a-burning-cargo-ship-packed-with-cars-off-northern-dutch-coast/ |
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — High winds blowing across the North Sea are delaying efforts to tow a burning cargo ship loaded with thousands of new cars to safety off the Dutch coast, the government said Sunday.
The Fremantle Highway was unlikely to be moved Sunday because of the southwesterly wind, according to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.
“The wind will continue to blow from the southwest for the next few days. The towing of the Fremantle Highway to the new temporary location may therefore still take several days to start,” the ministry said in an update Saturday night.
“The smoke from the fire and the wind direction mean that during the towing operation of the ship smoke is blowing over the tugboat,” it added.
Salvage crews on Saturday attached a second towing cable to the ship, which is transporting 3,783 new vehicles, including 498 electric vehicles, from the German port of Bremerhaven to Singapore. The salvage teams ultimately want to tow the stricken ship to a port but it is not yet clear where or when that will happen.
The ship has been burning since Tuesday. Firefighters decided not to douse the flames with water for fear of making the nearly 200-meters (219-yard) ship unstable as it floats close to North Sea shipping lanes and a world-renowned migratory bird habitat.
One crew member died and others were injured after the fire broke out. The crew was evacuated in the early hours of Wednesday.
The cause of the fire has not been determined. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/high-winds-stall-efforts-to-tow-a-burning-cargo-ship-packed-with-cars-off-northern-dutch-coast/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | 2023-07-30T11:31:31 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/high-winds-stall-efforts-to-tow-a-burning-cargo-ship-packed-with-cars-off-northern-dutch-coast/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business |

Palestinian factions meet in Egypt, seeking reconciliation, as violence surges in the West Bank
CAIRO (AP) — Palestinian factions are meeting in Egypt to discuss reconciliation efforts amid surging violence between Israel and Palestinian militants in the occupied West Bank. The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that Sunday’s gathering in the Mediterranean city of el-Alamein aims to discuss “ways to restore national unity and end the division.” With the main groups, Hamas and Fatah, split since 2007 and with repeated reconciliation attempts having failed, expectations are low for the one-day meeting. The meeting comes amid soaring violence in the West Bank, which is dominated by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah group. | https://kion546.com/ap-colorado/2023/07/30/palestinian-factions-meet-in-egypt-to-try-to-reconcile-as-violence-surges-in-the-west-bank/ | 2023-07-30T11:31:35 | 1 | https://kion546.com/ap-colorado/2023/07/30/palestinian-factions-meet-in-egypt-to-try-to-reconcile-as-violence-surges-in-the-west-bank/ |
BEIRUT (AP) — Overnight clashes Sunday in Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp near the southern port city of Sidon left 1 dead and 6 others wounded, Palestinian officials said.
The clashes took place as Palestinian factions in Ein el-Hilweh cracked down on militant Islamist groups and fugitives seeking shelter in the camp’s overcrowded neighborhoods. In 2017, Palestinian factions engaged in almost a week of fierce clashes with a militant organization affiliated with the extremist Islamic State group.
The Palestinian officials, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said the clashes broke out after an unknown gunman tried to assassinate Islamist militant Mahmoud Khalil, killing a companion of his instead.
According to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency, six people were wounded in the clashes, including two children.
Factions used assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers in the overcrowded camp, as ambulances zoomed through its narrow streets to take the wounded to the hospital.
The clashes have mostly stopped, though state media said there was still sporadic sniper fire.
Several residents fled the crossfire to nearby neighborhoods in the camp.
Ein el-Hilweh is notorious for its lawlessness and clashes are not uncommon. The U.N. says it is home to some 55,000 people.
It was established in 1948 to host Palestinians displaced by Israeli forces during the establishment of Israel. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/world/1-killed-6-wounded-in-overnight-clashes-in-crowded-palestinian-refugee-camp-in-lebanon/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_world | 2023-07-30T11:31:37 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/world/1-killed-6-wounded-in-overnight-clashes-in-crowded-palestinian-refugee-camp-in-lebanon/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_world |

Tony Bennett sang in a key that Jason Aldean’s song can’t reach
Analysis by John Blake, CNN
(CNN) — One dreary Christmas Eve, singer Tony Bennett found himself alone and miserable in New York City’s Gotham Hotel.
His first marriage was crumbling. His two sons were at home with his soon-to-be ex-wife. It was 1965, and the arrival of four mop-haired British rock and rollers the year before on Ed Sullivan’s show signaled the beginning of Beatlemania, and what seemed like the end of his jazz career.
Bennett tried to sleep off his depression, but the sounds of a choir roused him from his bed. He padded to another room to turn off the TV before realizing that chorale music was coming from outside his hotel room. He opened the door to see a choir singing a joyous rendition of “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.”
Turns out the great Duke Ellington, jazz music’s greatest composer, and another musician buddy had dispatched a choir to cheer up their pal.
“I realized, ‘Wow, what great friends,’ ” Bennett recalled later in an essay in the Toronto Star. “To take the time out to think of someone else.”
Timing, in jazz as in life, is everything. Few knew that better than Bennett, the incomparable jazz titan who died last week at 96. He could recall that unexpected Christmas gift decades later because it came at the precise time that he needed cheering up.
But there’s also something about the timing of Bennett’s passing that makes our loss cut a bit deeper.
Bennett died the same week that country singer Jason Aldean found controversy with his hit song, “Try That in a Small Town.” The song, which celebrates what Aldean calls “good ol’ boys” ready to grab their guns and go after those who carjack old ladies and rob liquor stores, is the most popular country song in the US. The song’s video, which was filmed outside a Tennessee courthouse where a White mob once lynched a Black man, has received more than 21 million YouTube views. One writer has called it “the song of the summer” for right-wing America.
Others have had a different reaction. Critics say Aldean’s video is full of racist innuendo and encourages White vigilante violence. Aldean has denied the song or video is racist, tweeting: “I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song … and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it — and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage…”
The video was recently edited to remove images of violent confrontations during a Black Lives Matter protest.
But the best example for what’s tone deaf about Aldean’s song and video hasn’t come from pundits or politicians. It came from Bennett — in the stories of how he sang and lived. The many tributes to Bennett can also be read as a rebuke to the artistic sensibility that gave us “Try That in a Small Town.”
Bennett sang and lived in a key that Aldean’s song can’t reach – because of two factors that grew out of the late singer’s love for jazz.
White jazz artists were antiracists before the term was invented
Many of the tributes to Bennett mentioned his disdain for bigotry. He was demoted for bringing a Black soldier home for Thanksgiving dinner during World War II; spoke of how he “saw no things a human being should ever have to see” while helping liberate a Nazi death camp; joined marches during the civil rights movement; and did extensive philanthropic work.
What some of those tributes missed, though, is that Bennett’s activism didn’t occur in a vacuum. He had great role models. Many White jazz artists were antiracists, long before the word was invented.
Frank Sinatra, Bennett’s musical mentor, recorded with and relentlessly championed Black jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie. When Sinatra once noticed singer Nat King Cole eating dinner in a hotel dressing room, he invited him to the main dining room, where Black people were not allowed. Sinatra then warned the hotel’s management that he would get the entire serving staff fired if they didn’t integrate the dining hall.
Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck led the first integrated band in the US Army during World War II. He hired a Black jazz bassist, Eugene Wright, and refused to play in segregated venues.
The big band leader, Benny Goodman, brought a half-dozen Black musicians with him onstage at Carnegie Hall in 1938 when it, and virtually all performance venues, were segregated.
Bennett’s activism was an outgrowth of his music, not a complement to it. His relationships with Black people may not seem like a big deal now, but he and others risked their careers to stand up for Black artists during the Jim Crow era. At a time when most White Americans saw Black people as servants, Bennett called musicians like Ellington and Louis Armstrong geniuses who created what some call “America’s only true art form.”
“Jazz is an African American art form. People don’t realize how creative and intelligent it is,” Bennett said in one interview. “It’s elongated improvisation, which never happened before in the history of art. It’s a great art form that’s loved throughout the world.”
Bennett belongs to a generation of jazz artists who created one of the nation’s first multiracial communities. There are countless photos of a beaming Bennett hanging out with Black jazz artists. Ellington, who Bennett called “my muse,” was virtually a member of Bennett’s family.
When Lionel Hampton, a Black member of Goodman’s band, was asked why Goodman risked his career to bring White and Black artists together, he responded:
“He said we need the White keys and the Black keys to play together to make good harmony. And that’s what he did.”
Bennett came from a tradition where people weren’t threatened by differences
One of the most touching moments from Bennett’s career was something he did in a music studio when few people were watching. In 2011, he recorded a duet with Amy Winehouse, the talented but troubled British singer and songwriter who would die of alcohol poisoning four months after their session.
Winehouse, fidgety and talking a mile a minute, confessed she was intimidated by singing with Bennett. They started off singing the jazz standard, “Body and Soul,” but she abruptly stepped away from the microphone, disparaging her own performance and saying, “I don’t want to waste your time.”
But Bennett showed no hints of frustration or anger. He told her a funny story and assured her in a soothing voice that she was getting better with each take.
“We’ll keep doing until we got one, okay?” he said to Winehouse, like a father to a nervous daughter. “You’re not in any hurry, are you? I’m not either. So we have time.”
Winehouse was an artist from a different generation, genre and culture who was crumbling before his eyes during a high-stakes recording session. But he kept trying to build a bridge to her so they could make something beautiful together.
And they did, finally getting a take right. When the song ended, Winehouse broke into a bright smile and wrapped Bennett in a hug.
Many tributes to Bennett talked about his legendary duets with such artists who seemed so unlike him, including Lady Gaga, John Mayer and Elvis Costello.
But something else besides Bennett’s unflappability made these collaborations work. Bennett wasn’t threatened by people who were not like him. They inspired him. This, too, reflects the jazz sensibility that Bennett absorbed.
Jazz artists are known for seeking out artists and music that doesn’t seem natural to them. Brubeck, the jazz pianist, infused his music with exotic rhythms and melodies he heard during tours of Turkey and Japan. Miles Davis stepped away from his acoustic band and incorporated psychedelic rock and funk into his music while listening to Jimi Hendrix. The jazz pianist Bill Evans was heavily influenced by classical music.
Jazz artists gravitate toward differences, and instinctively aim to erase categories.
The Aldean song and video evokes a violent, contentious America where there are not duets, just division. It’s big city vs. small town; patriots vs. people who “stomp on the flag” and “good ol’ boys” with guns vs. — well, cue the video’s now-deleted Black Lives Matter imagery and you can guess who the song appears to be talking about.
In jazz, though, conflict is negotiated through collaboration, not condescension. Bennett was a prime example of that.
His many duets with artists from other genres “showed how he (Bennett) was open to the collaborative spirit that you find in jazz,” says Greg Thomas, co-founder of the Jazz Leadership Project.
“If you were hung up on race and very rigid and very threatened by people who were different, you might be able to be good (at jazz),” Thomas says. “I don’t know if you could be great. Because to be great, you have to be willing to play beyond your comfort zone.”
Why jazz teaches ‘the very opposite of racism’
That collaborative spirit, of course, is not confined to jazz. It exists in all music genres – including country.
Bennett also sang duets with country artists like Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill and Willie Nelson.
And county music star Billy Ray Cyrus teamed up with Black hip hop star Lil Nas X to turn “Old Town Road” into a massive crossover hit in 2019. Aldean represents just one slice of the diverse country music genre.
But the peculiar demands of playing jazz music — musicians improvising and responding to one another’s solos in a group setting — is one reason some say that no musical genre captures the democratic spirit in America as perfectly as jazz.
“Jazz means working things out musically with other people,” the jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis once said. “You have to listen to other musicians and play with them even if you don’t agree with what they’re playing. It teaches you the very opposite of racism and anti-Semitism. It teaches you that the world is big enough to accommodate us all.”
Given his love for embracing differences, it’s no wonder that Bennett – born Anthony Dominick Benedetto into a family of Italian immigrants – talked with so much pride about being an American citizen.
“It’s really a gift to be a citizen of the United States,” he said once in an interview with Thomas. “We should respect the best of each nationality and each religion, instead of criticizing one another.”
Music, like any art form, is subjective. There are those who see nothing wrong in Aldean’s song or video. They invoke his right to free speech. They say his song has nothing to do with race, just as he does. It’s all about celebrating small-town values.
But the contrast between the America that Bennett evoked and the one that Aldean describes is striking. Bennett assured listeners that “the best is yet to come.” He refused to pander to audiences, insisting that the sole purpose of art was “truth and beauty.” He reached across racial lines, cultures and generations to find common ground.
There was nothing small about the man or his music.
Aldean may indeed have the song of the summer. But Bennett sang for the ages.

NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Thousands of supporters of the junta that took over Niger in a coup earlier this week marched through the streets of the capital, Niamey, on Sunday waving Russian flags, chanting the name of the Russian president and forcefully denouncing former colonial power France.
Russian mercenary group Wagner is already operating in neighboring Mali, and Russian President Vladimir Putin would like to expand his country’s influence in the region, but it is unclear yet whether the new junta leaders are going to move toward Moscow or stick with Niger’s Western partners.
Days after after mutinous soldiers ousted Niger’s democratically elected president, uncertainty is mounting about the country’s future and some are calling out the junta’s reasons for seizing control.
The mutineers said they overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum, who was elected two years ago in Niger’s first peaceful, democratic transfer of power since independence from France, because he wasn’t able to secure the nation from growing jihadi violence. But some analysts and Nigeriens say that’s just a pretext for a takeover that is more about internal power struggles than securing the nation.
“Everybody is wondering why this coup? That’s because no one was expecting it. We couldn’t expect a coup in Niger because there’s no social, political or security situation that would justify that the military take the power,” Prof. Amad Hassane Boubacar, who teaches at the University of Niamey, told The Associated Press.
He said Bazoum wanted to replace the head of the presidential guard, Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani, who also goes by Omar and is now in charge of the country. Tchiani was loyal to Bazoum’s predecessor and that sparked the problems, Boubacar said. The AP cannot independently verify his assessment.
While Niger’s security situation is dire, it’s not as bad as neighboring Burkina Faso or Mali, which have also have been battling an Islamic insurgency linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group. Last year Niger was the only one of the three to see a decline in violence, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project.
Niger until now has been seen as the last reliable partner for the West in efforts to battle the jihadists in Africa’s Sahel region, where Russia and Western countries have vied for influence in the fight against extremism. France has 1,500 soldiers in the country who conduct joint operations with the Nigeriens, and the United States and other European countries have helped train the nation’s troops.
Some taking part in Sunday’s rally also warned regional bodies who have denounced the coup to stay away. “I would like also to say to the European Union, African Union and ECOWAS, please please stay out of our business,” said Oumar Barou Moussa who was at the demonstration.
“It’s time for us to take our lives, to work for ourselves. It’s time for us to talk about our freedom and liberty. We need to stay together, we need to work together, we need to have our true independence,” he said.
Conflict experts say out of all the countries in the region, Niger has the most at stake if it turns away from the West, given the millions of dollars of military assistance the international community has poured in. On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the continued security and economic arrangements that Niger has with the U.S. hinged on the release of Bazoum — who remains under house arrest — and “the immediate restoration of the democratic order in Niger.”
France on Saturday suspended all development aid and other financial aid for Niger, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “France demands an immediate return to constitutional order under President Mohamed Bazoum, who was elected by the Nigeriens,” it said.
The African Union has issued a 15-day ultimatum to the junta in Niger to reinstall the country’s democratically elected government. On Sunday, the West African regional bloc, known as ECOWAS, is holding an emergency summit in Abuja, Nigeria.
However, in a televised address Saturday, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Toumba, one of the soldiers who ousted Bazoum, accused the meeting of making a “plan of aggression” against Niger and said it would defend itself.
Niger experts say it’s too soon to know how things will play out.
“Tensions with the military are still ongoing. There could be another coup after this one, or a stronger intervention from ECOWAS, potentially military force, even if it is difficult to foresee how specifically that may happen and what form that may take,” said Tatiana Smirnova, a researcher at the Centre FrancoPaix in conflict resolution and peace missions.
“Many actors are also trying to negotiate, but the outcome is unclear,” she said.

American nurse and child kidnapped in Haiti
CNN
By Heather Law and Aaron Pellish, CNN
(CNN) — An American nurse and her child have been kidnapped in Haiti, according to El Roi Haiti, the Christian humanitarian aid organization she works for.
Alix Dorsainvil, wife of El Roi Haiti Director Sandro Dorsainvil, and their child were reportedly abducted Thursday morning, according to a statement on El Roi Haiti’s website.
The two were taken while serving in their community ministry on El Roi Haiti’s campus near capital city Port-au-Prince, the post read.
“Alix is a deeply compassionate and loving person who considers Haiti her home and the Haitian people her friends and family. Alix has worked tirelessly as our school and community nurse to bring relief to those who are suffering as she loves and serves the people of Haiti in the name of Jesus,” the statement said.
Dorsainvil, originally a nurse from New Hampshire, moved to Haiti after her husband invited her to a Haitian school to provide nursing care for the children, Dorsainvil said in a video on the organization’s website.
US authorities are aware of the abductions and are working with Haitian authorities and U.S. government interagency partners, according to a statement given to CNN by a State Department spokesperson.
“The U.S. Department of State and our embassies and consulates abroad have no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas,” the spokesperson said.

CAIRO (AP) — Palestinian factions were meeting Sunday in Egypt to discuss reconciliation efforts as violence in the occupied West Bank surged between Israel and Palestinian militants.
The main groups, Hamas and Fatah, have been split since 2007. With repeated reconciliation attempts having failed, expectations for the one-day meeting are low. According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, the gathering in the Egyptian city of el-Alamein on the Mediterranean Sea will discuss “ways to restore national unity and end the division.”
The meeting comes amid soaring violence in the West Bank, where Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah group are based and exert limited self-rule. Israel has been staging near-nightly raids in Palestinian areas of the territory in what it says is an attempt to stamp out militancy, especially in areas where Abbas’ security forces have less of a foothold.
Those raids have led to some of the worst fighting in nearly two decades in the West Bank. Palestinians also say the Israeli raids undermine their own security forces and weaken their leadership.
The meeting in Egypt is chaired and initiated by Abbas, presents the aging and longtime Palestinian leader with a chance to portray an image of control and statesmanship to both Palestinians and the international community at a time when he is deeply unpopular at home and his room for maneuver is constrained by the Israeli incursions.
The meeting is being attended by other Palestinian leaders including Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas. the militant group which rules the Gaza Strip. Fatah and Hamas have been rivals since Hamas violently routed forces loyal to Abbas in Gaza in 2007, taking over the impoverished coastal enclave. Israel and Egypt have imposed a blockade on the territory.
For Hamas, joining the meeting is an opportunity to show Gazans that it is making an effort to mend the rift, even if nothing changes as a result.
Another key group playing a central role in the fighting with Israel, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, boycotted the gathering to protest the detentions by the Palestinian Authority of its members, according to the group’s leader, Ziyad al-Nakhala.
Egypt has for years acted as a mediator to try to end the infighting between Palestinian factions. It also helped broker truces in multiple rounds of fighting between Israel and Hamas. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/world/palestinian-factions-meet-in-egypt-to-try-to-reconcile-as-violence-surges-in-the-west-bank/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_world | 2023-07-30T11:31:50 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/world/palestinian-factions-meet-in-egypt-to-try-to-reconcile-as-violence-surges-in-the-west-bank/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_world |
We are under yet another heat advisory for today from noon until 7pm. That is because actual temperatures will be near 100 degrees, and heat index values will range from 105 to 109. But for right now, temperatures are around the mid to upper 70s out the door on this Saturday morning.
There is a small chance for isolated showers this afternoon, especially in the southern part of our viewing area. Besides that, most of us will be seeing dry conditions and mostly sunny skies today. We will continue to see calm conditions overnight and early on Sunday.
Tomorrow is shaping up to be another hot one with afternoon highs reaching into the upper 90s once again and heat index values in the 100s. Because of this, more heat advisories are expected to be issued before a cold front moves in Sunday evening bringing some relief. This will put us under a marginal risk for severe weather, but after this passes, temperatures will briefly be back into the mid 90s. We will warm back up throughout the next work week. | https://www.wtva.com/weather/forecast/this-weekend-is-starting-off-with-lots-of-sunshine-and-a-heat-advisory/article_d2f177e0-2df2-11ee-b6e0-2777b4210342.html | 2023-07-30T11:31:51 | 0 | https://www.wtva.com/weather/forecast/this-weekend-is-starting-off-with-lots-of-sunshine-and-a-heat-advisory/article_d2f177e0-2df2-11ee-b6e0-2777b4210342.html |

Colombian president’s son arrested in money laundering probe
By Stefano Pozzebon, CNN
(CNN) — The son of Colombia’s president has been arrested as part of an investigation into money laundering and illicit enrichment, the Colombian attorney general’s office said in a statement.
Nicolas Petro – a congressman in the Atlantico province – was placed under investigation by the attorney general’s office in early March over accusations that he had taken money from drug traffickers in exchange for including them in his father’s efforts to broker peace talks with criminal organizations in the Caribbean region, CNN reported at the time.
Petro has previously denied the accusations against him saying they were nothing more than political and personal attacks that seek to destroy the work he had achieved his career, he said in a March 2 statement.
Responding to the news of his son’s arrest, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said he was “hurt,” but guaranteed the prosecution procedures would be in accordance with the law.
“As a person and a father, so much self-destruction and the fact that one of my children goes to jail hurts me a lot. As President of the Republic, I assure that the prosecution has all the guarantees on my part to proceed in accordance with the law,” Petro wrote in his official Twitter account on Saturday.
Petro went on to wish his son “luck and strength” and reiterated his intention to not intervene or pressure the attorney general in this case.
Back then, the president welcomed the investigation, inviting the attorney general to get to the bottom of the allegations surrounding his son.
An arrest warrant was also issued against Nicolas Petro’s former wife, Daysuris del Carmen Vásquez Castro, “for the crimes of money laundering and violation of personal data for events that occurred from 2022 to date,” the attorney general’s office said in the statement on Saturday.
“Those captured will be placed at the disposal of a Municipal Criminal Judge with the Function of Guarantee Control, who will be asked to impart legality to the search, capture and seizure procedures of material elements of evidence. In the same way, charges will be made for the aforementioned crimes and a measure restricting freedom will be requested,” the statement said.

Nouhaila Benzina becomes first player to wear hijab at Women’s World Cup as Morocco secures first win
By Aimee Lewis, CNN
(CNN) — Morocco earned a surprise victory over South Korea on Sunday to secure the country’s first win at a Women’s World Cup in a match where Nouhaila Benzina also made history.
Striker Ibtissam Jraidi scored the only goal of the match in a 1-0 victory as Morocco became the third debutants to win a game at this tournament.
It was a match filled with significant landmarks.
Defender Benzina started for Morocco to become the first player to wear a hijab at a senior-level Women’s World Cup. Benzina, making her first appearance at the tournament, almost capped an impressive performance with a goal, but volleyed over the crossbar.
Jraidi’s sixth-minute header was also Morocco’s first ever goal in the tournament.
“We are just so pleased our efforts have paid off. This victory is for Morocco and Arabs, it’s the fruit of our hard work,” Jraidi told reporters, per Reuters.
Morocco suffered a heavy 6-0 loss to Germany in its opening game, but was much improved in Adelaide.
Ranked 55 places below South Korea in the world rankings, it was a surprise when the debutants took the early lead but Morocco held on for a memorable win. Teenager Casey Phair had a chance to level for South Korea from close range late on but shot wide.
South Korea will be eliminated from the competition should Germany win or draw against Colombia later on Sunday.

Sam Kerr: the superstar carrying Australia’s hopes on her shoulders
By Ben Morse, CNN
(CNN) — Even as a 15-year-old, Sam Kerr had the weight of a nation on her shoulders.
Aged 15 and 150 days, a fresh-faced Kerr ran onto the Canberra pitch to make her international debut for Australia in 2009. She had already become the youngest scorer in the W-League, Australia’s top division, and been voted players’ player of the year. Expectations were high.
But Australia fell to an emphatic 5-1 defeat to Italy that day and Alyssa Mautz, Kerr’s teammate at Perth Glory and the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), believed Kerr experienced a lot of pressure early in her career. “She couldn’t enjoy the game as much as I think she would like at that age,” she told CNN.
Fast forward to 2023 and Kerr is one of best players in the game and a global star. She became the first female player to feature on the global front cover of the popular soccer video game, FIFA, in 2022.
But on Monday Australia’s captain and all-time leading scorer faces possibly her toughest test yet, to help keep Australia in the Women’s World Cup, the competition the country is hosting, by beating reining Olympic champion Canada in a must-win match for the Matildas. The expectations and pressure has arguably never been higher.
More force has been added onto the sizeable burden carried on her shoulders, though that may just drive the striker on to keep home hopes alive in this tournament.
“Being put on a pedestal and, like, having that stress of being the best player in Australia, I think it did drive her, obviously, and she already had that mentality of wanting to be the best,” said Mautz.
Only a handful of players get to experience leading their nation at a World Cup on home soil. Kerr has had to wait longer than expected for the honor at this tournament having been forced to miss Australia’s opening two games because of injury.
Kerr declared herself fit for Monday’s crunch tie but remained coy over how head coach Tony Gustavsson might choose to use her, off the bench or from the start.
“I would love to tell you guys everything,” she told reporters at Australia’s team base in Brisbane, per Reuters.
“But being in sport a long time, that’s a massive thing that the opposition wants to know. And like Tony said, it’s going to go down to the wire.
“I’m definitely going to be available, but how we decide to use that is, you know, not to be given to the opposition.”
The tournament, which is being played in both Australia and New Zealand, offers the Matildas the chance to put behind their surprise quarterfinal defeat to South Korea at last year’s Women’s Asian Cup and for Kerr to potentially lead the team to heights it has never previously reached. But a surprise defeat to Nigeria in the Matildas’ second group game have left their hopes hanging by a thread. Kerr has timed her return to perfection.
‘An athlete from the beginning’
Kerr comes from a sporting family. Her Indian-born father was a professional Australian rules football player while her brother, Daniel, also played the sport, which is more commonly known as Aussie Rules, for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). Aussie Rules is a sport played with an oval ball in a team of 18 players with points scored by kicking the ball through goal posts.
Her athleticism and skill made Kerr stand out from an early age.
Bobby Despotovski, who would go onto coach Kerr at the Perth Glory, remembers first seeing the then 13-year-old at a youth team training session.
“I saw her running and playing, and I thought to myself that this girl has attributes to become one of the best footballers in the world,” Despotovski told CNN in 2019.
Nicola Williams, a former professional player who would go onto coach Kerr during her debut season with the Glory, recalled seeing a shy 15-year-old with veteran players but, contrastingly, witnessing her come out her of shell when she was with with her peers.
“She was an athlete from the beginning, so it didn’t matter what sporting context you put her in and hence why she was very good at netball, AFL and then soccer,” Williams told CNN Sport.
Williams also remembered Kerr training with players much older than her at Western Australia camps during her teenage years.
“She would run with a great technique, with a want to get first to the ball. She was able to judge the bounce of a ball, the speed of the ball, she was fast and her vertical jump – and we did testing and things like that – was huge at that age. She just had a natural plyometric ability. So put her on a football field, she was fast, she was dangerous, one vs. one, she wanted to go at people.”
While she may not have been the most polished footballer with the ball at her feet initially, Kerr possessed the requisite work ethic to improve on her skills to become a more well-rounded player.
Williams explained that her dramatic development with the ball came when she chose to commit fully to soccer and that her “carefree nature” allowed her to not to get bogged down when things went against her.
Mautz said her progression year-on-year was clear to see.
“I think she just took the time and realized that she can go pretty far. You could just see the difference each year, becoming better and better, which was such a cool process to see for her just as a teammate and a friend,” Mautz told CNN.
“And it’s just very exciting to see such a young player and, me being a little bit older, seeing her excel on those pieces of the game that she needed. And now watching her at Chelsea, she’s freakin’ sick, the way she can put texture on the ball, bringing down the ball. I mean, it’s just night and day from when I first started playing with her and now seeing her, honestly.”
Excelling under pressure
Due to her family’s sporting background and her evident natural ability, much was expected from Kerr early on. Those expectations only increased given she was learning the game in a nation where soccer is far from the main sport.
Kerr began to thrive in the limelight. A two-year stint with the Western New York Flash saw her game develop further and by the time she returned to the Perth Glory in August 2014, she was a bona fide superstar.
She split her time playing for her hometown club while also featuring for Sky Blue FC – now NJ/NY Gotham FC in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) – as she began to rack up ridiculous scoring figures.
It was during that time in Perth where Mautz first shared a locker room with Kerr. Mautz was also playing for the Chicago Red Stars in the NWSL and, together with her teammate Vanessa DiBernado, when with the Perth squad in 2016, embarked on an ambitious recruiting mission to persuade Kerr to play in Illinois. Kerr eventually succumbed.
“We definitely needed a No. 9 and she was that one piece we were missing,” said Mautz. “So I mean, Vanessa and I and the head coach at the time were in her ear, like, constantly getting her to try and get over to our team because she was playing with Sky Blue at the time who wasn’t winning much and we were consistently in the playoff position, so that was a big pull for her.”
As well as appreciating her “humble” nature off the pitch, Mautz highlighted how simple Kerr made her life on the pitch.
“If you misspass the ball by a little, she was going to do anything and everything to get to that ball. No complaints from her, like, ‘No. Why did you play that sh*t ball?’ She was just: ‘I’m going to try my best to make this work and we’re going to go for it,’” she said.
“I think that determination and that fight helped our team so much that it didn’t matter who we were playing or if the team was playing well or bad that day, she was going to give it her all. That’s something special. And she knew that she was the best player, but … she never had that swag to her.”
Although she fell short of winning an NWSL title – finishing runner-up in 2019 – by the time Kerr left Perth and Chicago to join Chelsea in the Women’s Super League in January 2020, she had scored 52 goals in 49 games for Perth and 35 goals in 43 goals for the Red Stars.
Kerr had certainly made her impact felt on the league by becoming the NWSL’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Kerr transformed Chelsea into the best women’s team in the country, winning four straight Women’s Super League (WSL) titles, three FA Cups and two League Cups with the only thing missing a Champions League winners medal – Chelsea finished runner-up in 2021 – in her four seasons in London.
On top of Kerr’s 90 goals in all competitions for Chelsea, her global stardom has also been recognized through her deal with EA Sports and coming third in successive Ballon d’Or Féminin events – in 2021 and 2022.
A Women’s World Cup on home soil was supposed to mark her crowning moment, but the story hasn’t quite gone to plan and now everything rests on Monday’s Group B match. With Kerr set to play, however, anything is possible.
“It’s just unreal to where she’s gone now. I never would have thought anything less than her, to be honest,” Mautz said. “And I think being such a big player, she was always so humble about it and that’s what I loved the most about her.
“Like, you would have no idea that she’s a star and sometimes she gets awkward when she’s getting so much attention, but I think she’s getting better at that. She’s just come so far.”
Quite the journey for soccer’s “humble” superstar.

Women’s World Cup: Which teams are through? Which are out? Which can still qualify?
By Matias Grez, CNN
(CNN) — With some Women’s World Cup groups balancing on a knife edge, working out which team needs to get what result to still qualify can be a tricky process.
CNN Sport takes a look at each group and breaks down the teams that are already through to the round of 16, those that are out and the results the remaining teams need to qualify.
Group A
Co-host New Zealand picked up an unwanted record by becoming the first host nation knocked out of the Women’s World Cup group stages, after its 0-0 draw against Switzerland in its final group game.
With Norway thrashing the Philippines 6-0 in the other Group A game, the Football Ferns needed to beat its Swiss opponents to secure a place in the last 16 but was unable to find a breakthrough.
The results on Sunday mean Switzerland go through as the group winners, with Norway progressing as the runner-up ahead of New Zealand on goal difference.
Group B
Canada vs. Australia, Republic of Ireland vs. Nigeria
Leader Nigeria will qualify with a win or a draw, but is currently only topping the group on goals scored over Canada.
If second place Canada also wins, it will come down to goal difference then goals scored to determine the group winner. Canada can also qualify with a draw.
Only a win will guarantee Australia avoids the same potential fate as its co-host and goes out in the group stage, but a draw will also be enough if the Republic of Ireland beat Nigeria by two goals.
The Republic of Ireland is already eliminated.
Group C
Costa Rica vs. Zambia, Japan vs. Spain
Japan and Spain are already through to the last 16 after winning their opening two matches, but Spain leads the group on goal difference. A draw will qualify Spain in first, but Japan needs to win to top the group.
Costa Rica and Zambia are both already eliminated.
Group D
China vs. England, Haiti vs. Denmark
England needs just a point against China to finish top of Group D.
Denmark, level on points with China but ahead on head-to-head after beating the Chinese, just needs to better China’s result to qualify.
If China and Denmark win or England and Haiti win, three teams will be level on points. Qualification would be decided by goal difference, then goals scored, then head-to-head.
Group E
Portugal vs. United States, Vietnam vs. Netherlands
The US Women’s National Team will qualify with a win or a draw and need to either match or better the Netherlands’ result to guarantee top spot.
The Netherlands can also qualify with a win or draw, but need to win and hope the US either loses or draws – or wins but scores two or more goals fewer than the Dutch – to finish top.
Portugal can still qualify, but the odds are heavily stacked against it. The team either needs to beat the US or draw and hope for another miracle in the form of a Vietnam victory over the Netherlands.
Vietnam is already eliminated.
Group F
Jamaica vs. Brazil, Panama vs. France
France will qualify for the last 16 with a win or a draw against Panama and victory will guarantee top spot as long as it matches or betters Jamaica’s result.
Jamaica will qualify if it can cause a huge upset and win or draw against Brazil.
Brazil needs a win to guarantee a place in the last 16, but will also qualify in the unlikely event of a Brazil draw and Panama beat France.
Group G
Argentina vs. Sweden, South Africa vs. Italy
Sweden is already through to the last 16 and only needs a draw against Argentina to guarantee top spot.
Italy will qualify if it beats South Africa or if it draws and Argentina draws or loses against Sweden.
Argentina and South Africa both need to win to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stages.
If they both win, three teams will be on four points and it will again come down to goal difference, then goals scored, then head-to-head.

Vaughn Dalzell breaks down why there is value in the Green Bay Packers Christian Watson’s receiving props.
Christian Watson O/U 4.5 Receiving Touchdowns
Last season as a rookie, Christian Watson recorded seven receiving touchdowns with Aaron Rodgers, so it’s no surprise we see Watson’s 2023 receiving touchdowns prop open at O/U 4.5 now that Jordan Love is the starting quarterback.
Watson scored all seven receiving touchdowns during a four-game stretch versus the Cowboys, Titans, Eagles, and Bears on 15 catches. Watson’s what we call a homerun hitter in football because he can score anytime the opportunity is presented, especially as a deep or red zone threat.
To start the year, Watson totaled one game of three receptions and zero games of five or more targets throughout the first six games.
Over the final eight games of 2022, Watson totaled three or more receptions in seven games and five-plus targets in all eight outings. Watson’s confidence grew as the season went on as did the coaching staff’s confidence in Watson.
As a rookie, Watson held a 25.5% target share (25th), an ADOT of 13.8 yards (12th), and 14 red zone targets (22nd). When looking at his efficiency with Rodgers last year, Watson was quietly top 10 in production premium, target premium, QB rating per target, and true catch rate, per PlayerProfiler.
While Love will be an obvious downgrade over the two-time MVP (Rodgers), Love and Watson will have an entire offseason, plus preseason to work together.
Watson remains Green Bay’s best offensive red zone threat in the pass game entering 2023.
Green Bay’s top three receiving options not named Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, or Christian Watson are Romeo Dubbs, Jayden Reed, and Luke Musgrave, so give me Watson Over 4.5 receiving touchdowns at -110 odds up to Over 5.5.
The second-year receiver should lead Green Bay in receiving touchdowns and five should be enough to get the job done.
Pick: Christian Watson Over 4.5 Receiving Touchdowns (1u)

NIAMEY, Niger — Thousands of supporters of the junta that took over Niger in a coup earlier this week marched through the streets of the capital, Niamey, on Sunday waving Russian flags, chanting the name of the Russian president and forcefully denouncing former colonial power France.
Russian mercenary group Wagner is already operating in neighboring Mali, and Russian President Vladimir Putin would like to expand his country's influence in the region, but it is unclear yet whether the new junta leaders are going to move toward Moscow or stick with Niger's Western partners.
Days after after mutinous soldiers ousted Niger's democratically elected president, uncertainty is mounting about the country's future and some are calling out the junta's reasons for seizing control.
The mutineers said they overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum, who was elected two years ago in Niger's first peaceful, democratic transfer of power since independence from France, because he wasn't able to secure the nation from growing jihadi violence. But some analysts and Nigeriens say that's just a pretext for a takeover that is more about internal power struggles than securing the nation.
"Everybody is wondering why this coup? That's because no one was expecting it. We couldn't expect a coup in Niger because there's no social, political or security situation that would justify that the military take the power," Prof. Amad Hassane Boubacar, who teaches at the University of Niamey, told The Associated Press.
He said Bazoum wanted to replace the head of the presidential guard, Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani, who also goes by Omar and is now in charge of the country. Tchiani was loyal to Bazoum's predecessor and that sparked the problems, Boubacar said. The AP cannot independently verify his assessment.
While Niger's security situation is dire, it's not as bad as neighboring Burkina Faso or Mali, which have also have been battling an Islamic insurgency linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group. Last year Niger was the only one of the three to see a decline in violence, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project.
Niger until now has been seen as the last reliable partner for the West in efforts to battle the jihadists in Africa's Sahel region, where Russia and Western countries have vied for influence in the fight against extremism. France has 1,500 soldiers in the country who conduct joint operations with the Nigeriens, and the United States and other European countries have helped train the nation's troops.
Some taking part in Sunday's rally also warned regional bodies who have denounced the coup to stay away. "I would like also to say to the European Union, African Union and ECOWAS, please please stay out of our business," said Oumar Barou Moussa who was at the demonstration.
"It's time for us to take our lives, to work for ourselves. It's time for us to talk about our freedom and liberty. We need to stay together, we need to work together, we need to have our true independence," he said.
Conflict experts say out of all the countries in the region, Niger has the most at stake if it turns away from the West, given the millions of dollars of military assistance the international community has poured in. On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the continued security and economic arrangements that Niger has with the U.S. hinged on the release of Bazoum — who remains under house arrest — and "the immediate restoration of the democratic order in Niger."
France on Saturday suspended all development aid and other financial aid for Niger, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. "France demands an immediate return to constitutional order under President Mohamed Bazoum, who was elected by the Nigeriens," it said.
The African Union has issued a 15-day ultimatum to the junta in Niger to reinstall the country's democratically elected government. On Sunday, the West African regional bloc, known as ECOWAS, is holding an emergency summit in Abuja, Nigeria.
However, in a televised address Saturday, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Toumba, one of the soldiers who ousted Bazoum, accused the meeting of making a "plan of aggression" against Niger and said it would defend itself.
Niger experts say it's too soon to know how things will play out.
"Tensions with the military are still ongoing. There could be another coup after this one, or a stronger intervention from ECOWAS, potentially military force, even if it is difficult to foresee how specifically that may happen and what form that may take," said Tatiana Smirnova, a researcher at the Centre FrancoPaix in conflict resolution and peace missions.
"Many actors are also trying to negotiate, but the outcome is unclear," she said.

Richmond Raceway is a welcome stop for drivers near the top of the points standings but offers meager hope to those straddling the playoff bubble.
Kevin Harvick charged forward from the 13th starting position to win this race last year, one week after breaking a 65-race winless streak at Michigan. For Harvick to make a similar comeback in his last Richmond race, he’ll have to beat spring winner Kyle Larson and a host of very competitive Toyota drivers.
What to expect at Richmond
With its 0.75-mile length and 14 degrees of banking in the turns, Richmond is one of the more unique short tracks on the Cup Series circuit. It’s also one of the oldest, having hosted its first race in 1953. New Hampshire, Gateway and Phoenix are good comparison tracks.
Richmond’s rough surface degrades tires quickly. The spring race featured lap time falloffs of 2-3 seconds over a 50-lap run. Large lap time falloff offers a big advantage to drivers who know how to manage their tires.
NASCAR allots nine sets of tires for the 300-mile race. Because Richmond often features long green-flag runs, expect green-flag pit stops. There will be plenty of opportunities to gain positions on pit road — but also ample places to make mistakes.
Richmond race rhythm has changed tempo in the last half dozen years. Once known for cautions (with a record of 16), Richmond hasn’t seen more than five natural cautions since fall 2019. The fall 2020 race had no natural cautions, just one competition caution and two stage-end cautions.
Past Winners
Ford and Chevy have each won three Richmond races since stage racing started in 2017. Toyota has six wins.
Of the drivers competing this weekend, Kyle Busch has the most wins (six) and the highest winning percentage (17.1%). Denny Hamlin and Harvick each have four wins. Hamlin has a win percentage of 12.1%. Harvick, who will make his 45th — and final — start at Richmond, has a 9.1% win rate.
Kyle Larson’s two wins in 17 races places him between Hamlin and Harvick in win percentage with an 11.8%.
Harvick, Larson, Hamlin and Truex are the last four Richmond winners.
The Richmond metric matrix
I weight recent performance highest, especially finishes in the Next Gen car. Career performance at a track is a very minor component. I keep it in there because some drivers just do better at some tracks, even when their equipment isn’t optimal.
This week’s metric matrix includes drivers’ average finishes for:
- Next Gen races
- The stage-racing era of 2017-2023
- Each drivers’ career
- All tracks less than a mile in 2023
- The comparison tracks (New Hampshire, Gateway and Phoenix) in 2023
No matter how I weight the different components, Harvick and Christopher Bell come out as the top two drivers. They are the only two drivers with a Next Gen average at Richmond better than 5.0.
Harvick’s 2.67 average finish in the three races run with the new car comes from a second-place finish, last year’s win and a fifth place this spring. He is the only driver to finish in the top five at all Next Gen Richmond races.
Bell has the second-best average finish at Richmond in the Next Gen car (4.00), with finishes of sixth, second and fourth. He has a career average finish at Richmond of 5.67, which is also the best of any driver in the field for Sunday’s race. If you include only races Bell ran for Joe Gibbs Racing, his average finish at Richmond is 3.80.
Harvick’s career average of 9.54 is worse than Bell’s; however, Harvick has run 39 more races than Bell. Harvick trumps Bell with four wins. Bell’s best finish at Richmond is second.
Bell and Harvick are also the only two drivers to have earned top-10 finishes in all three Next Gen car races.
Larson won the first Richmond race and Martinsville this year. He holds the third highest average finish in the Next Gen car at Richmond and has a 10.8 career average finish.
Martin Truex Jr. is strong across the board, except for his career average. As I mentioned earlier, I put minimal weight on that factor. Truex, the current points leader, has a lot of momentum this year. Toyota’s slow start with the Next Gen car dented his numbers, but the make seems to have caught up this year.
Joey Logano had a seventh at Richmond in the spring and a second at Martinsville, for an average of 4.5 at mile-and-under tracks in 2023. He has the seventh best average finish in the Next Gen car at Richmond with a 10.0 and is one of only two winning Ford drivers this year.
Practice and qualifying doesn’t correlate strongly with finishing position. It’s clear from looking at the consecutive laps times that the drivers with slower single laps are doing better jobs of saving their tires, as they have much less lap time fall-off than the drivers who posted fast single-lap times.
At this race last year, the top-five finishers qualified between third and 23rd. No one has won from the pole since Denny Hamlin in 2016. That doesn’t mean starting position isn’t a factor: Although only two of the last 12 races have been won from top-five starting positions, 10 of the 12 have been won from the top 15.
Busch, Hamlin, Chase Elliott, Harvick and Truex all qualified in the top 15.
Playoff contenders
Unfortunately, the drivers near the playoff cutoff don’t have much to look forward to this weekend. In addition to having to compete with the drivers discussed above, none of the playoff contenders have especially strong records at Richmond or similar tracks.
Chris Buescher, Bubba Wallace, and Michael McDowell currently occupy the final three playoff spots. A.J. Allmendinger, Daniel Suárez and Ty Gibbs are the next three drivers below the cutoff line.
Buescher has the best Next Gen average finish of the bunch at Richmond: 16.0. He finished third in this race last year, but 30th in the spring. Suárez has the second-best average Richmond finish in the Next Gen car at 19.3. For most of the playoff bubble drivers, focusing on earning as many points as possible, even at the cost of a win, might be the best strategy. | https://www.nbcsports.com/nascar/news/dr-diandra-richmond-scouting-report | 2023-07-30T11:33:34 | 0 | https://www.nbcsports.com/nascar/news/dr-diandra-richmond-scouting-report |
Russian authorities say three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow in the early hours on Sunday, injuring one person and prompting a temporary closure for traffic of one of four airports around the Russian capital.
It was the fourth such attempt at a strike on the capital region this month and the third this week, fueling concerns about Moscow's vulnerability to attacks as Russia's war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month.
The Russian Defense Ministry referred to the incident as an "attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime" and said three drones targeted the city. One was shot down in the surrounding Moscow region by air defense systems and two others were jammed. Those two crashed into the Moscow City business district in the capital.
Photos from the site of the crash showed the facade of a skyscraper damaged on one floor. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the attack "insignificantly damaged" the outsides of two buildings in the Moscow City district. A security guard was injured, Russia's state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials.
No flights went into or out of the Vnukovo airport on the southern outskirts of the city for about an hour, according to Tass, and the air space over Moscow and the outlying regions was temporarily closed for any aircraft. Those restrictions have since been lifted.
Moscow authorities have also closed a street for traffic near the site of the crash in the Moscow City area.
There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials, who rarely if ever take responsibility for attacks on Russian soil.
Russia's Defense Ministry reported shooting down a Ukrainian drone outside Moscow on Friday. Two more drones struck the Russian capital on Monday, one of them falling in the center of the city near the Defense Ministry's headquarters along the Moscow River about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the Kremlin. The other drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting several upper floors.
In another attack on July 4, the Russian military said four drones were downed by air defenses on the outskirts of Moscow and a fifth was jammed by electronic warfare means and forced down.

Four-time Olympic medalist Tom Daley is returning to diving after two years off, spurred by a tearful moment at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs.
“Paris 2024 is definitely a goal,” the 29-year-old Brit said in a YouTube video. “I don’t know if it’s going to be possible, but you never say never.”
Daley said he was retired “in theory” when he recently visited Colorado Springs with son Robbie, who turned 5 in June. Daley was surprised to see a sign that labeled it “Olympic City” in the U.S. It’s home to an Olympic and Paralympic training center and the headquarters for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
While there, Daley took Robbie to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum. They ran on a track and played a virtual skiing video game. They also went into a room and watched an inspirational Olympic video.
“The video started, and I wept. I couldn’t control myself,” Daley said. “Coming out of that museum, something changed in me where I don’t think I was ready to be done.”
Robbie also told him, “I want to see you dive at the Olympics.” Daley’s family was not in attendance at the Tokyo Games, where he won his first gold medal, since spectators weren’t allowed due to COVID-19 measures.
“That has kind of lit a new flame and fire inside me to want to see where this goes,” Daley said of his son’s desire.
Daley, who is based in California and splits time in Britain, said he doesn’t know if he will be able to dive “half-decently” again and didn’t commit to a 2024 Olympic bid — yet.
But he wants to set an example to both of his sons — Robbie and Phoenix, born in March — “about working hard at something that you love.”
“I don’t know where this is going to go,” he said. “I’ve not been ready to let go of diving yet. So, the journey begins.”
Daley made his Olympic debut in 2008 at age 14, placing seventh as the youngest British athlete across all sports at the Beijing Games.
After winning the 2009 World title, Daley entered the 2012 London Games as one of the host nation’s biggest stars.
He led the platform final by a scant 15 hundredths of a point going into the sixth and last round on the penultimate day of the Games. He earned one 10, but was surpassed by American David Boudia and Chinese Qiu Bo, neither of whom had any 10s, but both had a higher degree of difficulty dive.
In Rio in 2016, Daley shockingly was eliminated in the platform semifinals in 18th place.
He rebounded to win the 2017 World title.
In the Tokyo synchro platform, Daley and Matty Lee upset the reigning world champions from China by a mere 1.13 points, ultimately denying China a sweep of all of the diving gold medals.

In between that synchro gold and another platform bronze, Daley generated buzz by knitting from the stands while attending other diving events.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas is temporarily blocked from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing "harmful" materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which also would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by kids. The measure, signed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was set to take effect Aug. 1.
A coalition that included the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fear of prosecution under the measure could prompt libraries and booksellers to no longer carry titles that could be challenged.
The judge also rejected a motion by the defendants, which include prosecuting attorneys for the state, seeking to dismiss the case.
The ACLU of Arkansas, which represents some of the plaintiffs, applauded the court's ruling, saying that the absence of a preliminary injunction would have jeopardized First Amendment rights.
"The question we had to ask was — do Arkansans still legally have access to reading materials? Luckily, the judicial system has once again defended our highly valued liberties," Holly Dickson, the executive director of the ACLU in Arkansas, said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as lawmakers in an increasing number of conservative states are pushing for measures making it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. last year was the highest in the 20 years the American Library Association has been tracking such efforts.
Laws restricting access to certain materials or making it easier to challenge them have been enacted in several other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Texas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office would be "reviewing the judge's opinion and will continue to vigorously defend the law."
The executive director of Central Arkansas Library System, Nate Coulter, said the judge's 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and wrongly maligning librarians.
"As folks in southwest Arkansas say, this order is stout as horseradish!" he said in an email.
"I'm relieved that for now the dark cloud that was hanging over CALS' librarians has lifted," he added.
Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, said the organization is "thrilled" about the decision. She said enforcing this law "is likely to limit the free speech rights of older minors, who are capable of reading and processing more complex reading materials than young children can."
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state's 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in west Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County library's decision to move children's books that included LGBTQ+ themes to a separate portion of the library.
The plaintiffs challenging Arkansas' restrictions also include the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie public libraries, the American Booksellers Association and the Association of American Publishers.

CHENGDU, China , July 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from Xinhua:
On July 28, the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games officially commenced, captivating university athletes from various parts of the world with an opening ceremony that seamlessly blended historical and cultural elements with youthful passion.
The cultural performances showcased Chengdu's unique cultural features, with the "Sun and Immortal Birds" being a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage and a spiritual emblem. From the very first second of the countdown to the ignition, the presence of the "Sun and Immortal Birds" captivated the audience until the final moment of ignition. "Sunlight", serving as the core element, permeated the entire opening ceremony. Without the "Sun and Immortal Birds", the grand finale of igniting the flame would not have been possible. The countdown to the opening commenced amid the radiance of the "Sun and Immortal Birds," not only demonstrating the harmonious and inclusive spiritual character that the Chinese people have embraced since ancient times but also expressing best wishes for university students worldwide to shine as bright and warm as sunlight.
The opening ceremony combined the sense of technology with artistic beauty. During the entrance segment, colorful silk threads were projected onto the ground, creating a breathtaking display of traditional Chinese patterns formed by over 300 circular lines that adorned the entirety of the stadium's track. This symbolic imagery represents the aspirations of young athletes from around the world, as they embark on a glorious journey paved with the splendor of Shu embroidery. The guide signs held high by the ushers were made of Shu brocade, a renowned textile originating from the Chengdu region, with a history spanning over 2,000 years. Shu brocade stands as one of the four prestigious brocades of China. Meanwhile, Shu embroidery, one of the four famous embroideries in China, has a history of more than 3,000 years, originating from the Chengdu region. Both Shu embroidery and Shu brocade are hailed as treasures of the region.
In celebration of the 31st edition of FISU World University Games, 31 torchbearers were selected to light the flame tower. Among them, the illustrious Chengdu astronaut, Ye Guangfu, shone as a notable figure. Recognizing astronauts as the "closest beings to the sun," chief director Chen Weiya harnessed the brilliance of sunlight, transforming it into a dazzling blaze. After the 31 torchbearers jointly completed the ignition, the Sun and Immortal Birds radiated a stunning brilliance. They spiraled and ascended, igniting the 12 golden fireworks in the sky. Ultimately, they ignited the flame tower outside the stadium.
During the fireworks performance, the chief designer of the opening ceremony fireworks, Cai Canhuang, aptly named it "Golden Dreams." Golden fireworks illuminated the sky, accompanied by welcoming messages in both Chinese and English. As the flame tower of the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games was ignited, the fireworks displayed the U-shaped emblem of the Games and the English theme "Make Dreams Come True." The fireworks artfully portrayed the image of a golden hibiscus flower, representing the city flower of Chengdu. Beyond symbolizing youth and vitality, the hibiscus also embodies the values of openness and friendliness, expressing the theme of "flowers welcoming guests."
The Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games will feature a total of 18 sports events, and is scheduled to conclude on August 8. With athletes from 113 countries and regions, a staggering 6,500 athletes will compete across these 18 sports.

Northeast Ohio restaurant enforces new dress code
AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - An Akron-based restaurant announced new rules for patrons regarding dress code earlier this week.
Ken Stewart’s Grille, located at 1970 W. Market St., on Thursday said they will be enforcing an upscale dress code for their dinner services in a response to their patrons’ requests.
The business said they will not allow any “excessively revealing clothing,” and any clothing that emits offensive odors would not be permitted to be worn on the property.
The Facebook post from the business announcing their newest policies garnered over 1,000 reactions and 1,500 comments from those who voiced their opinions on the matter.
Another Northeast Ohio business earlier this year created a policy that garnered social media attention after The Macaron Tea Room and Bakery, located in Broadview Heights, announced they would no longer permit children under six years old in their store.
Editor’s note: The video below is from prior coverage.

The House Republicans who craft the conference’s government funding bills are showing signs of frustration as hard-line conservatives pressure leadership for further cuts to spending that some worry could be too aggressive.
Some of the 12 Appropriations subcommittee chairs — the so-called cardinals — told reporters that they are struggling to see where those additional cuts could come from, as September’s shutdown deadline looms.
“I just don’t see the wisdom in trying to further cut to strengthen our hand. I don’t know how that strengthens our hand,” Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.), a House Appropriations subcommittee chairman, said of conservatives’ push to further cut the already-scaled-back spending bills.
“I do think it puts some of our members in a very difficult spot, particularly those in tough districts, because they’re going to be taking some votes that become problematic,” he added.
The House left Washington for a long summer recess Thursday after being forced to punt a bill to fund agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.
Conservatives are dug in on their demand for steeper spending cuts, to the chagrin of moderates who are wary of slashing funding even more. The chamber has passed just one appropriations bill, funding military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The internal divisions are gripping the party as time is running out: The House has just 12 days in September to move the remaining 11 appropriations measures and hash out their disagreements with the Senate, which is marking up its spending bills at higher levels, setting the scene for a hectic fall that could bring the U.S. to the brink of a shutdown.
Those dynamics are putting GOP appropriators in a bind, leaving them searching for ways to appease conservative requests without gutting their spending bills.
“We’ve done a lot of cuts, a lot of cuts,” House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Kay Granger (R-Texas) told The Hill this week. “And so if it’s cuts just for cut’s sake, I don’t agree with it. But if it’s something that we can do without, that’s fine.”
‘Not a lot of wiggle room left’
Republican appropriators in the House announced earlier this year that they would mark up their bills for fiscal 2024 at fiscal 2022 levels, as leaders sought to placate conservatives who thought the debt ceiling deal struck by President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) earlier this year didn’t do enough to curb spending.
The Senate is crafting its bills more in line with the budget caps agreed to in the deal, but House Republicans are already fuming about a bipartisan deal in the upper chamber that would allow for more than $13 billion in additional emergency spending on top of those levels.
House GOP negotiators also said they would pursue clawing back more than $100 billion in old funding that was allocated for Democratic priorities without GOP support in the previous Congress.
While that move drew support from hard-line conservatives, the right flank was far from pleased when it heard appropriators planned to repurpose that old funding — known as rescissions — to plus-up the spending bills.
In a letter to McCarthy earlier this month, a group of hard-line conservatives called for all 12 appropriations bills to be in line with fiscal 2022 spending levels “without the use of reallocated rescissions to increase discretionary spending above that top-line.”
Otherwise, the 21 lawmakers threatened, they would vote against the measures. But that request could prove difficult for GOP appropriators to fulfill.
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), chairman of the panel that proposes funding for the Department of State and foreign operations, said that appropriators are already “dramatically reducing spending,” suggesting that there are not too many remaining areas to trim from.
“My bill is below the 2016 levels,” he said, later adding, “When you’re below the 2016 level — and we’re still confronting China — I think there’s not a lot of wiggle room left.”
“It’s a challenge, but I think we’ll get through it. I really do,” he added.
Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), who heads the subcommittee that oversees funding for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Interior, scoffed at the idea of even steeper cuts to his bill.
“Then you just drop it on the floor and stomp on it. What else do you do with it?” he told reporters. “You can’t make logical cuts in there.”
Republicans appropriators are voicing optimism that the conference will be able to sort out its differences on spending, but some also hope their levels will stick — even though they include rescissions.
Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-Tenn.) — whose panel handles funding for the Department of Energy, which is proposing offsetting billions of dollars in spending with clawbacks — said it would be “extremely difficult” to craft his bill without the rescinded funds.
“And given our priorities in my bill, national defense with the nuclear weapons portfolio, nuclear cleanup, Army Corps including, all the community-directed fundings, I feel good about my bill, and I hope my numbers hold,” he said.
“Because it’s gonna have to be in negotiations with the Senate and the White House as well,” he added.
Womack — whose subcommittee crafts funding for the IRS and the Treasury Department — said he doesn’t think “moving the goalposts on these numbers is helpful in strengthening our ability to negotiate with the Senate.”
August preparations for a busy September
Frustrations among appropriators are bubbling up as Congress inches closer to the fall, when lawmakers are facing a Sept. 30 deadline to approve funding or risk a government shutdown.
With time running out, some House lawmakers say conversations may continue over the long August recess to try to hash out remaining differences.
“We’ll have to see,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said when asked about potential plans for talks between leaders and House Freedom Caucus members over the break. “I mean, we got a lot of work to do.”
“I think a lot of work [has] got to be done behind the scenes,” he said. “If not, you know, here — You gotta beg the question about whether we should be gone for six weeks. We should be getting our job done.”
Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) echoed that sentiment, saying “I would think so” when asked if lawmakers will have conversations over the break.
Adding to the August workload, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) suggested earlier this week that bicameral negotiations could take place over the weeks-long recess as lawmakers stare down the shutdown deadline.
Not all Republicans, however, are viewing a shutdown as a risk.
During a House Freedom Caucus press conference this week, Good said “we should not fear a government shutdown,” claiming that “most of what we do up here is bad anyway; most of what we do up here hurts the American people.”
But that perspective does not jive with the view of McCarthy, who declared Thursday: “I don’t want the government to shut down.”
Multiple Republicans are ultimately expecting Congress to eventually pass what’s known as a continuing resolution (CR), or a measure that temporarily allows the government to be funded at the previous fiscal year’s levels, to prevent a lapse at the end of September.
But they also understand the task could be difficult in the GOP-led chamber, where Republicans aren’t happy about the idea of continuing funding at the current levels — which were last set when Democrats held control of Congress.
“I think there’s a very good chance that we’ll see a CR, but I know there’s a lot of work to get a CR done,” Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.), another appropriator, said Thursday, noting there are “a lot of members that don’t want CRs that are tired of them.”
But Aderholt suggested a CR could notch sufficient GOP backing if there’s a larger plan in sight that the party can support.
“The Speaker’s been very good about having a plan,” he said, adding, “I think that’s what he’s good at, and I’m optimistic that he can come up with something.”

Take a look at the status of wildfires in the Gila National Forest this year
GILA NATIONAL FOREST – Over 80,000 acres of Gila National Forest land has burned so far this year due to wildfires. Take a look at the status of the wilderness area so far this summer.
Prescribed burns
Forest service personnel started 2023 by hand thinning areas of the forest as well as conducting prescribed burns. These two actions are methods used to clear dry brush, grasses, downed logs and other materials that fuels wildfires when managed effectively.
As of July 21, 20,066 acres of forest land have been burned through a prescribed fire, according to Punky Moore, public information officer for the Gila National Forest.
The Pass Fire
The largest wildfire of 2023 in the Gila National Forest started with a lightning strike on May 18. The Pass Fire has burned a 59,833 acres as of July 14, according to Moore, and is located northwest of Winston, New Mexico.
“We are applying a confine and contain strategy on this fire and allowing it to play its natural role in this fire-adapted ecosystem,” said Agency Administrator Elizabeth Toney in a May 22 news release. “We’re seeing really excellent fire effects, burning surface fuels in pine understory, consuming dead grass and dead and down logs.”
According to the USNF, the wildfire ignited within the perimeter of the 2005 Bull Fire and east of the 2012 Whitewater Baldy Fire scar. The 2021 Johnson Fire scar and the 2022 Black Fire scars are south and east of the current blaze.
As of July 14, containment of the fire’s perimeter is at 91%.
“We’re seeing some really good fire effects, consuming dead grass and pine litter, with heavy dead and down fuels burning down to ash,” said Incident Commander Pete Valenzuela on May 27.
The wildfire remains under observation by forest personnel.
Lightning starts
Thunderstorms that moved into the southern New Mexico area in mid-July brought with them lightning. The Gila National Forest reported over one dozen new wildfire starts between July 12 and July 17, all caused by lightning.
Several fires were quickly extinguished or contained while a handful continue to burn.
“Recent rains are increasing relative humidity, greening up surface vegetation, and resulting in low intensity fire behavior,” said Reserve District Ranger Amanda Gehrt on July 17. “Each of these incidents is consuming dead and down wood and lifting the forest canopy by scorching lower branches.”
Lightning activity over the July 22 weekend resulted in 10 more wildfires in the Gila National Forest. According to an update on the forest’s Facebook page, most of the starts were “single-tree lightning strikes that extinguished on their own. Others were immediately suppressed and contained by fire crews.”

Recovery from the 2022 Black Fire
By this time last year, New Mexico experienced the two largest fires in state history – the Black Fire which burned over 320,000 acres in the Gila National Forest and the Calf Canyon/ Hermits Peak Fire that burned over 340,000 acres in the Santa Fe National Forest.
USNF reported that the Black Fire was human-caused, but investigators are still looking into what specifically ignited the blaze.
Meanwhile, forest service personnel are continuing recovery work within the wilderness. The forest recently announced a partnership with Bat Conservation International to launch an aerial seeding project.
According to a news release, the conservation organization will oversee the seeding of 7,617 acres of land burned in the wildfire at high severity which included 19 watersheds largely along the west side of the Continental Divide.
Seeding will help regrow surface vegetation and reduce further watershed erosion in the Diamond Creek, South Diamond Creek and East Mimbres Creek watersheds.
“We have an enormous amount of work to accomplish, in terms of recovering from the Black Fire, along with implementing projects that reduce risk of future catastrophic wildfire to communities and critical infrastructure, and restoring forest and watershed structure,” said Camille Howes, Gila National Forest supervisor, in a news release.
Seeding is set to begin July 28 lasting up to 10 days.

What's going on with MMC's mental health services?
Memorial Medical Center’s lease legally requires it to keep operating the mental health unit. More than a year ago, MMC closed it, wreaking havoc with citizens who need the service.
Last spring, the psychiatrist running the 5th Floor unit was leaving and MMC was sluggish about advertising the position nationally and paying what the market required.
After investigating, I published a column Jan. 29 asking why the City and County, MMC’s landlords, whose managers sit on MMC’s board, weren’t pushing MMC to keep its promises. Lighting a fire under MMC’s posterior.
MMC CEO John Harris expressed great confidence that the mental ward would re-open during the first quarter [end of March] or immediately thereafter. I’ve kept in touch periodically. Weeks ago I delayed this column because MMC told me a deal [with Peak Behavioral Services, though the MMC person wouldn’t confirm that] to reopen the ward was basically done, and that the announcement, which lawyers had asked be delayed, might come any day. That’s still the message.
It sure seems like someone is gulling someone – and certainly no one’s providing information to the public.
We do know:
- We need the 5th floor. Foregoing mental health services or going to El Paso is more or less destroying some number of human lives.
- MMC breached its contract by closing the mental ward, has been out of contract for more than a year, repeatedly predicting that it will comply soon.
- Neither the City nor the County has sued MMC or even written a letter of inquiry.
- MMC is also allegedly in breach of its contractual promise to continue the equivalent of MGH’s program helping folks who can’t pay.
- MMC does not feel the appropriate urgency about this.
- This is a pathetic failure of corporate and public entities.
At the County Commission’s July 25 meeting, Commissioner Shannon Reynolds criticized County Manager Fernando Macias for not even reporting the problem officially.
Macias basically said it wasn’t MMC’s fault because its contractor quit. Not a brilliant explanation, particularly by a lawyer and former judge. (My efforts to question him failed.)

I understand from hospital personnel that MMC had advance notice. Alamogordo’s hospital has a psychiatrist. It’s not impossible. MMC didn’t do the utmost to ensure no break in serving vulnerable people. More than another year has passed. Why haven’t Las Cruces and Dona Ana County pushed MMC?
“The contractor stopped work” has a limited shelf-life as a legal excuse. Suppose John Harris is rehabilitating my house. If the roofing contractor quits after ripping up my old roof, and it’s kind of hot, I’ll expect John to find another roofer. Might be a short delay. But 14 months? He still owes me for breach of contract, even if he can sue the missing contractor to help pay the damages.
Psychiatrist Ernie Flores scoffs: “How come they can spend all this money opening up clinics all over town but they can’t reopen one unit?” MMC has reportedly opened clinics treating cancer, cardiology, Ears/Nose/Throat; and a Bone & Joint Orthopedic Surgery clinic. Clinics promising big profits. Profits matter. People?
While MMC and Peak squabble on about dollars, people aren’t being served.
If the City or County had listened when we told them to get aggressive, maybe there’d be a judge in the picture, ordering MMC to get this done before the heat drives us all mad.
But your city and county ain’t doing the job on this one.

People have asked me what I've learned so far through this series. Have I gotten any clarity on what makes up my own spiritual identity? And the answer is, not really. I'm still in the research phase of this project. I'm still collecting experiences and perspectives and I imagine I'll keep doing that forever, but it's too early to draw any definitive conclusions — except for one.
I believe each and every one of us is capable of making our own meaning. Some of us do that by living according to a set of religious principles. Or by feeling the beauty and sanctity of nature. Or by choosing to see spiritual connections in what others might call mere coincidence.
I don't need anyone to validate those experiences for them to be meaningful to me. But according to Lisa Miller, a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, having a spiritual life is good for your mental health.
Miller is a psychologist and has dedicated most of her career to the study of neuroscience and spirituality. Her newest book is called The Awakened Brain, and in it she makes some really bold claims about how holding spiritual beliefs can decrease our rates of anxiety and depression and generally make us most likely to lead happier lives. I can hear your skepticism already! I get it. I'm a spiritually inclined kind of person but it's still hard for me to understand how, scientifically speaking, believing in something bigger than yourself can make you healthier and happier.
I needed to understand how Miller came to these conclusions. But before she got to the actual science, she told me a story.
It was the mid '90s. Miller was in the early stages of her career and working at a residential mental health facility in New York City. After she'd been there a few months, Yom Kippur rolled around — the day of atonement, considered the most significant of the Jewish religious holidays. One of the older male patients with severe bipolar disorder asked if there were any plans to mark the day. The doctor in charge shrugged his shoulders and said, no — there's no service planned. The patient walked out of the room with his shoulders slumped and Lisa, who is Jewish, saw an opportunity.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Lisa Miller: I approached the unit chief and said, "I'm certainly not a rabbi, but I've been to two-and-a-half decades of Yom Kippur services. I'd be happy to facilitate if that might be OK with you." So I showed up on Yom Kippur and the patients had arrived early to the kitchen, which was to be our sanctuary. The fluorescent lights were quite strong and as we crowded around the linoleum table there was an extraordinary feeling of specialness.
As we started the prayers that we all knew from our childhood, joining together saying in Hebrew the prayers of Yom Kippur, I looked over and noticed that as the gentleman with bipolar was davening, he could not have been further from explosive. He was holding our group in the cadence of the prayers and we were actually following him.
I took a pause and I said, "I feel so grateful to be here today in our Yom Kippur ceremony. Would anyone like to say anything?" We went around the table and the first person to speak was a very otherwise withdrawn woman with recurrent depression. She said, "You know, I always knew on Yom Kippur we could ask for forgiveness. But sitting here now with you all, I'm aware that we can be forgiven. God can forgive us." And she looked liberated.
As I looked around the table at the patients, whatever their symptoms had been yesterday, they were free in that moment. They were free of suffering. They were free of the characteristic patterns that had dragged them down in a way that was equal and opposite to their main symptoms. And so I thought a mental health system minus spirituality made no sense, and that became my life's work, to understand the place of spirituality in renewal, in recovery, in resilience, and to put this in the language of science.
Rachel Martin: What happened when you brought these kinds of questions to your peers, to the other people in your scientific community? Like when you said for the first time, "Hey, I think we need to look at the effect of spirituality on mental health." What did people say to you?
Miller: Well, the vast majority were very respectful, nodded, and didn't pick up the thread. Some of them would say, "That's not psychology, that's not psychiatry." And in fact, I remember early on giving a grand rounds presentation and I opened up saying, "I'm going to speak today about a body of data using nationally representative samples on spirituality and mental health with all the gold standard methods." And about 10 people got up and walked out. It was absolutely not of interest.
Martin: Using the gold standard, what did that mean in terms of the experiments you were running and the studies and the data you were collecting? How did you make sure that it would hold water in the scientific community?
Miller: If I were to characterize the first five years of my investigation, I would say I used the data sets that everyone else knew and trusted. I only asked one new question, which was: "What's the impact of spirituality on the DSM diagnosis of addiction and depression?" The findings were jaw dropping.
The protective benefit of personal spirituality, meaning someone who says their personal spirituality is very important, is 80% against addiction. They have 80% decreased relative risk for the DSM diagnosis of addiction to drugs or alcohol.
Martin: Wait, so someone who self-identifies as having a meaningful spiritual life is 80% less likely to get addicted to drugs or alcohol than someone who says they don't?
Miller: Yes.
Martin: Wow. And how can you prove that it is a spiritual life that is doing that and not some external factor? Because you heard this from other critics, too, some of your peers said you can't attribute that to spirituality, it's gotta be some other social conditioning.
Miller: Well, that's a very important point because in every study we controlled for all of the usual interpretations about this being social support or having resources. So we plugged into our equation every other possible explanation that was generally taken in mental health to explain the road to depression. And nonetheless, it actually turned out that the more high risk we are, the more that there's stress in our lives, the more that we might be genetically at risk for depression, the greater the impact of spirituality as a source of resilience as preventative against major depression.
Martin: What does that look like in the brain?
Miller: One of the most beautiful findings in my 20 years as an investigator was from an MRI study conducted together with our colleagues at Yale Medical School. We looked at people of many different faith traditions and the first finding was that there is one neuro seat of transcendent perception and we share it. Now there's human variability of course, and we can strengthen components.
Martin: How are you actually doing that with people? Are you asking your subjects to pray? What are the spiritual inputs that are going into them so that you can measure it on their brains?
Miller: The very specific prompt was, "Tell us about a time where you felt a deep connection to God, your higher power, the source of life." Everyone had a story like that and as they told their story, we recorded them and it was then played back in their ears while they were inside the scanner.
Martin: Ah, they heard themselves recounting their spiritual experience.
Miller: It was tailor made to their own moment.
Martin: And you saw their brains light up?
Miller: Oh yes. Connecting to these memories, the bonding network comes up online just as when we were held in the arms of our parents or grandparents.
Martin: Wait, when you say the bonding network you mean you can literally see that the brain will respond to spiritual stimuli in the same way that it does to a hug from a family member when you're a baby?
Miller: Precisely.
Martin: Can you tell me how this manifests in the real world? I'm thinking about this anecdote you include in the book about a client of yours. A girl you refer to as Iliana.
Miller: Iliana adored her father, I mean, he was the sun and the moon and the stars to her. They were so close. And one night two men who her father knew, came into his corner store, robbed him and murdered him. And she was devastated. This was a grief that was so deep. She simply could not free herself from the grief that was shackling her heart.
One day, Iliana skips into my office. There's a levity and joy. She plops into the seat and says, "Dr. Miller, you're never gonna believe this. My cousin and my cousin's girlfriend chaperoned me so I could go to a party and I met the most wonderful boy. We talked so long, it must have been 20 minutes. He was so polite and so kind. But here's the best part, his name." Which was the same very usual name as her father.
She said, "Don't you see? My father sent him. My father is looking out after me." And from that day on she was in the world of the living. What changed everything for Iliana was the awareness that her father walked with her. She maintained a deep transcendent relationship with her father, as most people around the world do.
Iliana trusted her deep inner knowing that this was far too probabilistic to have happened by chance. That this very rare name held both by this new boy and her father could possibly mean nothing.
Martin: Can I ask, what are you thinking as you hear this? I mean, are you thinking that is just a crazy coincidence, but if she needs to believe that this is a sign from God, who am I to tell her otherwise? Because it seems to be working.
Miller: Well, at the time, that was certainly the most common interpretive framework amongst psychologists and psychiatrists. But I could see plain as day that this was a tremendously sacred moment. This was a living miracle. This was a gift.
For me to have treated it like some kind of cultural diversity variable or that it's just the meaning she makes would've actually taken all of the energy and spirit out of that transformative awakening moment. I joined her.
Now I did that authentically because it was my view as well that this is far too nonprobabilistic to have happened by chance, that there are very few people by that very same name and that the first boy she met in a year and a half since her father's passing should have the name of the father. It was a synchronicity. There was a deeper meaning being revealed.
Martin: When you're talking to people who aren't scientists, someone who's skeptical, someone who doesn't have faith, who doesn't have what they define as a spiritual life, what do you want them to take away from your research and your message?
Miller: I've given a number of talks to audiences who, prior to seeing the science, would not necessarily consider themselves spiritual people. And, in fact, I oftentimes hear from people who consider themselves skeptics and very left-brained and when they see the peer reviewed science that says we're naturally spiritual beings, that when we cultivate our spirituality we're 80% less likely to be addicted, 82% less likely to take our lives, it speaks to the left side of their brains long enough that it quiets down the skepticism.
In other words, three cheers for the skeptic. Here is published, peer reviewed science for skeptical audiences to begin to explore, to be curious about our spiritual nature. You know, at the inner table of human knowing we all have an empiricist, a logician, an intuitive, a mystic, and a skeptic. And the skeptic is very welcome, but the skeptic is not the bouncer at the door.
It is not scientific to put a skeptic as a bouncer at the door. It is not more rigorous to toss out an idea before being examined in every way. We are wired to be able to investigate.

Republicans might be damaging their long-term prospects with extremist tactics, but Democrats must confront an unhappy reality: The GOP’s merciless personal and ideological warfare, particularly in the House, is making it much harder for President Biden to sell his achievements.
The ferocity of the GOP’s attacks on Biden also fuels public doubts about the president and affects media coverage, even when journalists carefully fact-check Republicans’ claims. A two-minute report on a congressional hearing will inevitably air whatever charges some right-wing committee chair makes. They lodge in memories no matter what might be said during those 120 seconds to debunk them.
Then there’s Biden’s signature promise to bring the parties together and end the chaos of the Trump years. The president’s problem: Bipartisanship is inherently a two-way street. One party can destroy the other side’s ability to achieve it simply by saying no. “The party in power pays a higher price for the other side’s obstructionism,” said Molly Murphy, a Democratic pollster, though she added that the GOP suffered from its extremism in the three elections since 2018 and would likely do so again next year.
One party can also sow chaos if it wishes. “Biden wants to be known as, and is, a force for stability,” said Geoff Garin, another Democratic pollster. “But when the news is dominated by nuttiness, it’s hard to see stability.”
Nothing would do more to throw Washington into turmoil than an impeachment fight against Biden. So it should surprise no one that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is floating the idea. Notice all the innuendo packed into two sentences he offered to reporters last week: “We continue to gather more information. We’re finding more and more.”
What information? McCarthy didn’t say. But he’ll be happy if voters imagine there must be something behind this assertion beyond pandering to his caucus’s most extreme members.
Biden has been struggling to boost his approval ratings ever since his polling numbers suffered a one-two punch from the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021 and the inflation spike of 2022. Some polls early this year found most Democrats preferring he not seek reelection.
The GOP’s efforts to insert often unsupported accusations into the news cycle muddle Biden’s comeback campaign. “If you’re Biden, you have a really good story to tell,” Garin told me, “but it’s almost impossible to communicate effectively in this media environment.”
With voters yet to give Biden credit for large-scale job creation on his watch, the ebbing of inflation and the large investments he pushed through Congress, the president has branded his economic strategy as “Bidenomics” to tie his administration to the restoration of prosperity and normalcy after the pandemic.
It is Biden’s answer to Ronald Reagan’s “Morning in America” reelection campaign in 1984, the phrase that defined a powerful television ad that subtly reminded Americans of the high inflation and rising unemployment under his predecessor, Jimmy Carter. The analogy works on many levels, including Reagan’s approval ratings in late July 1983, when two Gallup polls showed them around 42 to 44 percent. That’s roughly where Biden is now.
Biden is also consciously rebuffing Reagan’s trickle-down economics, arguing that government intervention in the economy is essential to “growing the middle class,” the magic words meant to appeal to the diverse coalition the president needs to assemble.
Getting this message across is vital, said Navin Nayak, president of the liberal Center for American Progress Action Fund. His group’s research shows Republicans have a “built-in, decades-long advantage as the party that’s focused on the economy that makes it harder for Democrats to break through.” Democrats, he added, “don’t talk enough about the economy,” and their economic goals are unclear to voters.
Nayak sees the “Bidenomics” push as an antidote to both problems. Most voters disagree with Republican policies, he said, but they know what Republicans are for on the economy: cut taxes, lower spending, scale back regulations. If Biden is to have a recovery akin to Reagan’s, his campaign will have to reverse the perceptions of the two parties and dispel 2022’s memories.
This will not be an easy climb. A Morning Consult poll this month found 68 percent of Americans saying the country is on the wrong track; only 32 percent think it’s on the right track.
The promising news for Biden is that the “right track” number was up eight points from about a year ago, and it rose 13 points among Democrats, from 41 percent to 54 percent.
Preventing this trend from taking hold is why Republicans are doing all they can to accentuate the gloomy. If their over-the-top attacks on Biden make you want to give up on politics, GOP leaders will be able to declare “mission accomplished.” | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/30/biden-achievements-republican-extremism/ | 2023-07-30T11:38:46 | 0 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/30/biden-achievements-republican-extremism/ |
When Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador entered office five years ago, he promised to search unceasingly for the truth about 43 students who disappeared in September 2014 in Ayotzinapa, in the southern state of Guerrero. Now, a team of international investigators is departing Mexico, complaining it was stonewalled by the armed forces. It is a mark of failure for Mr. López Obrador and a sad comment on Mexico’s inability to extricate itself from lawlessness and impunity.
The students from the Raúl Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers’ School commandeered buses on Sept. 26, 2014. They planned to drive to a protest in Mexico City. The unarmed students were attacked in the city of Iguala by local police and gunmen working for a drug cartel, according to previous reports by investigators. Unbeknownst to the students, the buses might have held drugs or other contraband from the cartel. Six people were killed and dozens wounded in the attack. Police captured the 43 students — and they were never seen again. Remains of three bodies have been found. No one has been convicted in the case.
Mexico has long suffered without rule of law, been plagued by drug cartel violence and struggled with forced disappearances — upward of 100,000 of them. The plight of the 43 students has become a symbol of the government’s inability to hold to account those responsible for misdeeds. The abduction came during the term of President Enrique Peña Nieto, whose administration was accused by investigators of staging an elaborate coverup of a crime that involved both a drug gang and security forces at the local, state and federal levels.
Mr. López Obrador has taken some steps to deal with Mexico’s crisis of the disappeared. He established a truth commission on the Ayotzinapa case; he created another commission into disappearances during the Cold War era, when the military and the police detained hundreds of suspected leftists in the Dirty War; and he gave a big boost, in staffing and money, to the National Search Commission, created under Mr. Peña Nieto to search for all the disappeared, from the 1960s onward.
- D.C. Council reverses itself on school resource officers. Good.
- Virginia makes a mistake by pulling out of an election fraud detection group.
- Vietnam sentences another democracy activist.
- Biden has a new border plan.
1/5
But Mr. López Obrador did not force the military to hand over information to the international experts investigating Ayotzinapa. He stood by as security forces bugged the phones of top officials on the Ayotzinapa and Dirty War inquiries. Mr. López Obrador has increasingly relied upon the military, expanding its budget and responsibilities while brushing aside many allegations of abuses. The military has denied it was responsible for the disappearance of the 43 students.
The president has also refused in recent years to meet with the mothers of the disappeared, who have been the driving force behind the hunt for the missing.
The departing international investigators said the military had blocked their probe: withholding evidence, altering testimony and obstructing justice. “They’ve lied to us, they’ve responded with falsehoods. We have no more information,” said Carlos Beristain, a member of the panel of legal and medical experts named by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to investigate the case. “We can’t investigate like this.” The investigators also said they were smeared in the media during Mr. Peña Nieto’s term and targeted with powerful spyware. “Instead of seeing us as allies in the search for truth, we were seen as someone to neutralize,” they wrote in the report released July 25.
A dark chapter in Mexico’s history remains murky. Despite his firm promises, Mr. López Obrador appears not to have mustered the strength or the willpower to break the cycle of impunity, a cancer that grows deeper and deeper over time. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/30/missing-mexico-students-mystery/ | 2023-07-30T11:38:50 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/30/missing-mexico-students-mystery/ |
Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the head of Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, cited “scheduling conflicts” in declining to appear this month at a Senate hearing. His lawyers indicated he would cooperate in other ways — but he has not, despite repeated information requests. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, on Thursday publicly invited Mr. Al-Rumayyan to pick any day in September to testify. Mr. Blumenthal is not holding his breath.
The subject Mr. Al-Rumayyan seems to be avoiding is the fund’s bid to control professional golf, via a partnership between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf organization. The pact raises questions not only about “sportswashing” to distract from state human rights atrocities, but also about the degree to which the Saudis are using their oil profits from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to control more elements of American culture. Mr. Blumenthal and his colleagues should persist in posing these questions.
The senator wants to hear directly from Mr. Al-Rumayyan about what role he intends to play in American golf and how that dovetails with the fund’s larger investment goals in the United States. Mr. Blumenthal is also asking for a list of all U.S. assets currently held by the Saudi fund; all U.S.-based contractors, consultants, public relations firms, strategic consultants, crisis consultants, lobbyists and law firms that have done work for the fund; and any records relating to Project Wedge, the code name for what became LIV Golf.
That project was as political as it was economic, growing out of an effort to improve Saudi Arabia’s reputation following the 2018 state-sponsored assassination of Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi by a squad of agents who flew to Istanbul, where Khashoggi was located, with a bone saw aboard two private jets owned by Mr. Al-Rumayyan’s fund.
Saudi Arabia has spent at least $6.3 billion on sports deals since 2021, according to the Guardian, more than the gross domestic product of Barbados or Montenegro. The fund bought the Newcastle United soccer team for $391 million, and a Saudi soccer team signed Cristiano Ronaldo for $200 million a year. This doesn’t include Aramco’s Formula One sponsorships or significant Saudi investments in video game makers, including Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts, or Live Nation Entertainment, which owns Ticketmaster.
LIV Golf has showered largesse on U.S. politicians willing to associate themselves with the organization. It will hold its final event of this season in October, offering a $50 million purse, at former president Donald Trump’s Doral course in Florida. The Greenbrier resort owned by West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R), a U.S. Senate candidate, will host a LIV Golf tournament in August.
In the face of this sportswashing campaign, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has introduced bills that would revoke a tax exemption for the PGA Tour and end a tax break used by the Saudi fund. The PGA Tour is registered as a 501 (c)(6) nonprofit, the same part of the code used by chambers of commerce. Major League Baseball gave up this designation in 2007, and the National Football League gave it up in 2015. Mr. Wyden’s bill would exclude sports organizations from claiming the nonprofit status if the value of their assets exceeds $500 million.
- D.C. Council reverses itself on school resource officers. Good.
- Virginia makes a mistake by pulling out of an election fraud detection group.
- Vietnam sentences another democracy activist.
- Biden has a new border plan.
1/5
Current law also exempts sovereign wealth funds from a 30 percent withholding tax on payments such as dividends and interest. The Saudis can use this to maximize tax-free profits from the PGA Tour deal. Mr. Wyden’s legislation would deny the withholding benefit to countries with more than $100 billion invested globally, unless they have a free-trade agreement or a tax treaty with the United States and aren’t deemed countries of concern by the State Department. The measure is written in a way to target Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as Russia and China.
In other words, there is ample reason for Congress to consider the policy implications of Saudi Arabia’s dealings, as well as the moral ones, and for Senate investigators to continue pursuing the apparently permanently indisposed Mr. Al-Rumayyan.
Meanwhile, in the latest reminder of President Biden’s failure to keep his campaign promise to treat Saudi Arabia as a “pariah,” national security adviser Jake Sullivan visited the country on Thursday to meet with the crown prince. Fortunately, members of Congress are pushing back harder against Saudi influence. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/30/saudi-pga-liv-golf/ | 2023-07-30T11:38:52 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/30/saudi-pga-liv-golf/ |
'Children are being trafficked': Speaker McCarthy warns how Biden's border policy put migrant kids at risk
'Secure the border': Speaker McCarthy warns human traffickers exploit the US immigration system
WASHINGTON – The first action needed to stop human trafficking in the U.S. is to secure the border, Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Fox News in an exclusive interview.
"The first thing you really want to do is secure the border because right now many children are being trafficked into America because they believe the border to be open," McCarthy told Fox News at a movie event held last Tuesday. There were over 10,300 human trafficking incidents reported to the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline in 2021.
The screening, held for members of Congress, featured "Sound of Freedom," a film depicting the horrors of human trafficking in the U.S. and abroad. The low-budget movie's lead actor Jim Caviezel, and Tim Ballard, on whom the film is based, were in attendance.
ADDRESSING HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS A BIPARTISAN ISSUE: SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY

Ballard, a former U.S. federal agent, began Operation Underground Railroad ten years ago to combat human trafficking after rescuing two children from exploitation in South America.
"The border policies that we have in this country are actually incentivizing traffickers," Ballard told Fox News at the private screening. "If you're an unaccompanied minor coming into this country and you're released to anyone, this is very dangerous."
Ballard referenced a program that enacted stricter biometric verification procedures at the border, including familial DNA tests, recently ended under Biden as the contracts that backed the project expired.
The Speaker said he is proud the Republican majority passed a border security package earlier in May. The bill included measures to restart border wall construction and change laws related to unaccompanied children.
"I wish the Senate would take it up," the Republican leader told Fox News.
‘SOUND OF FREEDOM’ ACTOR CALLS OUT MEDIA ATTACKS ON HIT FILM
There is a "sophisticated network" of child migrant smuggling into forced labor and other forms of slavery in the U.S., Tara Lee Rodas, a whistleblower from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), testified before Congress in April.
The New York Times reported a rise in migrant child labor exploitation in February, claiming that over the last two years, HHS lost contact with over 85,000 migrant minors after they were placed in sponsor homes.
"Human trafficking should not be a partisan issue, we need to save our children," the Speaker told Fox News. "And this film, I hope, would inspire both people on both sides of the aisle to realize what needs to get done to solve this problem."
McCarthy and Ballard held a brief discussion on combating human trafficking before the screening began.

"I think movies are a good thing to bring people together, but also educate the members of Congress," McCarthy told Fox News.
"The ‘Sound of Freedom’ does exactly that," he continued. "This is an educational film."

Q: If a person doesn’t leave a will, who decides who can be executor?
A: If a person dies intestate (without a will) there is an Indiana code provision that lists persons who can serve as personal representative. The code provision has a sort of hierarchy of preferred persons to serve.
The first person listed in the code is a surviving spouse or a person designated by the surviving spouse. That sort of makes sense. The next preferred person is an heir or a person nominated by an heir. After that, any “qualified” person can serve.
In order for a person to be qualified to serve, they must meet certain qualifications. They must be at least 18 years of age. They can’t be incapacitated unless the incapacity is caused by physical illness, physical impairment or physical infirmity. The person can’t be a convicted felon. The person cannot be a corporation not authorized to act as a fiduciary (holding trust powers). Finally, the court can exclude anyone that it finds “unsuitable.” That last one is kind of broad but makes sense, I suppose.
People are also reading…
Ultimately, the court will designate a person that it finds appropriate.
Q: How often should you renew your estate plan?
A: Obviously, it depends on your circumstances and situation.
As a general rule, I suggest that you pull out the plan about every five years or so. Just blow the dust off and review it. Make sure that everything that you think is there, is actually there. Also, make sure that the people that you named as beneficiaries and fiduciaries are still correct.
By reviewing the plan every five years or so, you can be assured that everything is ready to go in case something bad happens.
Having said that, I also suggest that you review the plan whenever you encounter a life changing event. Things like deaths and births and weddings and divorces. Things that we encounter in our lives that kind of change everything.
Also, while you are reviewing the estate planning documents, it’s a good time to verify titling on bank and other accounts and beneficiary designations on accounts and life insurance. While you are thinking about your estate, make sure you review all of it.

Russian authorities say three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow in the early hours on Sunday, injuring one person and prompting a temporary closure for traffic of one of four airports around the Russian capital.
It was the fourth such attempt at a strike on the capital region this month and the third this week, fueling concerns about Moscow's vulnerability to attacks as Russia's war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month.
The Russian Defense Ministry referred to the incident as an "attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime" and said three drones targeted the city. One was shot down in the surrounding Moscow region by air defense systems and two others were jammed. Those two crashed into the Moscow City business district in the capital.
Photos from the site of the crash showed the facade of a skyscraper damaged on one floor. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the attack "insignificantly damaged" the outsides of two buildings in the Moscow City district. A security guard was injured, Russia's state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials.
No flights went into or out of the Vnukovo airport on the southern outskirts of the city for about an hour, according to Tass, and the air space over Moscow and the outlying regions was temporarily closed for any aircraft. Those restrictions have since been lifted.
Moscow authorities have also closed a street for traffic near the site of the crash in the Moscow City area.
There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials, who rarely if ever take responsibility for attacks on Russian soil.
Russia's Defense Ministry reported shooting down a Ukrainian drone outside Moscow on Friday. Two more drones struck the Russian capital on Monday, one of them falling in the center of the city near the Defense Ministry's headquarters along the Moscow River about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the Kremlin. The other drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting several upper floors.
In another attack on July 4, the Russian military said four drones were downed by air defenses on the outskirts of Moscow and a fifth was jammed by electronic warfare means and forced down.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas is temporarily blocked from enforcing a law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing "harmful" materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which also would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible by kids. The measure, signed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was set to take effect Aug. 1.
A coalition that included the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fear of prosecution under the measure could prompt libraries and booksellers to no longer carry titles that could be challenged.
The judge also rejected a motion by the defendants, which include prosecuting attorneys for the state, seeking to dismiss the case.
The ACLU of Arkansas, which represents some of the plaintiffs, applauded the court's ruling, saying that the absence of a preliminary injunction would have jeopardized First Amendment rights.
"The question we had to ask was — do Arkansans still legally have access to reading materials? Luckily, the judicial system has once again defended our highly valued liberties," Holly Dickson, the executive director of the ACLU in Arkansas, said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as lawmakers in an increasing number of conservative states are pushing for measures making it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the U.S. last year was the highest in the 20 years the American Library Association has been tracking such efforts.
Laws restricting access to certain materials or making it easier to challenge them have been enacted in several other states, including Iowa, Indiana and Texas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office would be "reviewing the judge's opinion and will continue to vigorously defend the law."
The executive director of Central Arkansas Library System, Nate Coulter, said the judge's 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and wrongly maligning librarians.
"As folks in southwest Arkansas say, this order is stout as horseradish!" he said in an email.
"I'm relieved that for now the dark cloud that was hanging over CALS' librarians has lifted," he added.
Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, said the organization is "thrilled" about the decision. She said enforcing this law "is likely to limit the free speech rights of older minors, who are capable of reading and processing more complex reading materials than young children can."
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state's 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in west Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County library's decision to move children's books that included LGBTQ+ themes to a separate portion of the library.
The plaintiffs challenging Arkansas' restrictions also include the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie public libraries, the American Booksellers Association and the Association of American Publishers.

People have asked me what I've learned so far through this series. Have I gotten any clarity on what makes up my own spiritual identity? And the answer is, not really. I'm still in the research phase of this project. I'm still collecting experiences and perspectives and I imagine I'll keep doing that forever, but it's too early to draw any definitive conclusions — except for one.
I believe each and every one of us is capable of making our own meaning. Some of us do that by living according to a set of religious principles. Or by feeling the beauty and sanctity of nature. Or by choosing to see spiritual connections in what others might call mere coincidence.
I don't need anyone to validate those experiences for them to be meaningful to me. But according to Lisa Miller, a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, having a spiritual life is good for your mental health.
Miller is a psychologist and has dedicated most of her career to the study of neuroscience and spirituality. Her newest book is called The Awakened Brain, and in it she makes some really bold claims about how holding spiritual beliefs can decrease our rates of anxiety and depression and generally make us most likely to lead happier lives. I can hear your skepticism already! I get it. I'm a spiritually inclined kind of person but it's still hard for me to understand how, scientifically speaking, believing in something bigger than yourself can make you healthier and happier.
I needed to understand how Miller came to these conclusions. But before she got to the actual science, she told me a story.
It was the mid '90s. Miller was in the early stages of her career and working at a residential mental health facility in New York City. After she'd been there a few months, Yom Kippur rolled around — the day of atonement, considered the most significant of the Jewish religious holidays. One of the older male patients with severe bipolar disorder asked if there were any plans to mark the day. The doctor in charge shrugged his shoulders and said, no — there's no service planned. The patient walked out of the room with his shoulders slumped and Lisa, who is Jewish, saw an opportunity.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Lisa Miller: I approached the unit chief and said, "I'm certainly not a rabbi, but I've been to two-and-a-half decades of Yom Kippur services. I'd be happy to facilitate if that might be OK with you." So I showed up on Yom Kippur and the patients had arrived early to the kitchen, which was to be our sanctuary. The fluorescent lights were quite strong and as we crowded around the linoleum table there was an extraordinary feeling of specialness.
As we started the prayers that we all knew from our childhood, joining together saying in Hebrew the prayers of Yom Kippur, I looked over and noticed that as the gentleman with bipolar was davening, he could not have been further from explosive. He was holding our group in the cadence of the prayers and we were actually following him.
I took a pause and I said, "I feel so grateful to be here today in our Yom Kippur ceremony. Would anyone like to say anything?" We went around the table and the first person to speak was a very otherwise withdrawn woman with recurrent depression. She said, "You know, I always knew on Yom Kippur we could ask for forgiveness. But sitting here now with you all, I'm aware that we can be forgiven. God can forgive us." And she looked liberated.
As I looked around the table at the patients, whatever their symptoms had been yesterday, they were free in that moment. They were free of suffering. They were free of the characteristic patterns that had dragged them down in a way that was equal and opposite to their main symptoms. And so I thought a mental health system minus spirituality made no sense, and that became my life's work, to understand the place of spirituality in renewal, in recovery, in resilience, and to put this in the language of science.
Rachel Martin: What happened when you brought these kinds of questions to your peers, to the other people in your scientific community? Like when you said for the first time, "Hey, I think we need to look at the effect of spirituality on mental health." What did people say to you?
Miller: Well, the vast majority were very respectful, nodded, and didn't pick up the thread. Some of them would say, "That's not psychology, that's not psychiatry." And in fact, I remember early on giving a grand rounds presentation and I opened up saying, "I'm going to speak today about a body of data using nationally representative samples on spirituality and mental health with all the gold standard methods." And about 10 people got up and walked out. It was absolutely not of interest.
Martin: Using the gold standard, what did that mean in terms of the experiments you were running and the studies and the data you were collecting? How did you make sure that it would hold water in the scientific community?
Miller: If I were to characterize the first five years of my investigation, I would say I used the data sets that everyone else knew and trusted. I only asked one new question, which was: "What's the impact of spirituality on the DSM diagnosis of addiction and depression?" The findings were jaw dropping.
The protective benefit of personal spirituality, meaning someone who says their personal spirituality is very important, is 80% against addiction. They have 80% decreased relative risk for the DSM diagnosis of addiction to drugs or alcohol.
Martin: Wait, so someone who self-identifies as having a meaningful spiritual life is 80% less likely to get addicted to drugs or alcohol than someone who says they don't?
Miller: Yes.
Martin: Wow. And how can you prove that it is a spiritual life that is doing that and not some external factor? Because you heard this from other critics, too, some of your peers said you can't attribute that to spirituality, it's gotta be some other social conditioning.
Miller: Well, that's a very important point because in every study we controlled for all of the usual interpretations about this being social support or having resources. So we plugged into our equation every other possible explanation that was generally taken in mental health to explain the road to depression. And nonetheless, it actually turned out that the more high risk we are, the more that there's stress in our lives, the more that we might be genetically at risk for depression, the greater the impact of spirituality as a source of resilience as preventative against major depression.
Martin: What does that look like in the brain?
Miller: One of the most beautiful findings in my 20 years as an investigator was from an MRI study conducted together with our colleagues at Yale Medical School. We looked at people of many different faith traditions and the first finding was that there is one neuro seat of transcendent perception and we share it. Now there's human variability of course, and we can strengthen components.
Martin: How are you actually doing that with people? Are you asking your subjects to pray? What are the spiritual inputs that are going into them so that you can measure it on their brains?
Miller: The very specific prompt was, "Tell us about a time where you felt a deep connection to God, your higher power, the source of life." Everyone had a story like that and as they told their story, we recorded them and it was then played back in their ears while they were inside the scanner.
Martin: Ah, they heard themselves recounting their spiritual experience.
Miller: It was tailor made to their own moment.
Martin: And you saw their brains light up?
Miller: Oh yes. Connecting to these memories, the bonding network comes up online just as when we were held in the arms of our parents or grandparents.
Martin: Wait, when you say the bonding network you mean you can literally see that the brain will respond to spiritual stimuli in the same way that it does to a hug from a family member when you're a baby?
Miller: Precisely.
Martin: Can you tell me how this manifests in the real world? I'm thinking about this anecdote you include in the book about a client of yours. A girl you refer to as Iliana.
Miller: Iliana adored her father, I mean, he was the sun and the moon and the stars to her. They were so close. And one night two men who her father knew, came into his corner store, robbed him and murdered him. And she was devastated. This was a grief that was so deep. She simply could not free herself from the grief that was shackling her heart.
One day, Iliana skips into my office. There's a levity and joy. She plops into the seat and says, "Dr. Miller, you're never gonna believe this. My cousin and my cousin's girlfriend chaperoned me so I could go to a party and I met the most wonderful boy. We talked so long, it must have been 20 minutes. He was so polite and so kind. But here's the best part, his name." Which was the same very usual name as her father.
She said, "Don't you see? My father sent him. My father is looking out after me." And from that day on she was in the world of the living. What changed everything for Iliana was the awareness that her father walked with her. She maintained a deep transcendent relationship with her father, as most people around the world do.
Iliana trusted her deep inner knowing that this was far too probabilistic to have happened by chance. That this very rare name held both by this new boy and her father could possibly mean nothing.
Martin: Can I ask, what are you thinking as you hear this? I mean, are you thinking that is just a crazy coincidence, but if she needs to believe that this is a sign from God, who am I to tell her otherwise? Because it seems to be working.
Miller: Well, at the time, that was certainly the most common interpretive framework amongst psychologists and psychiatrists. But I could see plain as day that this was a tremendously sacred moment. This was a living miracle. This was a gift.
For me to have treated it like some kind of cultural diversity variable or that it's just the meaning she makes would've actually taken all of the energy and spirit out of that transformative awakening moment. I joined her.
Now I did that authentically because it was my view as well that this is far too nonprobabilistic to have happened by chance, that there are very few people by that very same name and that the first boy she met in a year and a half since her father's passing should have the name of the father. It was a synchronicity. There was a deeper meaning being revealed.
Martin: When you're talking to people who aren't scientists, someone who's skeptical, someone who doesn't have faith, who doesn't have what they define as a spiritual life, what do you want them to take away from your research and your message?
Miller: I've given a number of talks to audiences who, prior to seeing the science, would not necessarily consider themselves spiritual people. And, in fact, I oftentimes hear from people who consider themselves skeptics and very left-brained and when they see the peer reviewed science that says we're naturally spiritual beings, that when we cultivate our spirituality we're 80% less likely to be addicted, 82% less likely to take our lives, it speaks to the left side of their brains long enough that it quiets down the skepticism.
In other words, three cheers for the skeptic. Here is published, peer reviewed science for skeptical audiences to begin to explore, to be curious about our spiritual nature. You know, at the inner table of human knowing we all have an empiricist, a logician, an intuitive, a mystic, and a skeptic. And the skeptic is very welcome, but the skeptic is not the bouncer at the door.
It is not scientific to put a skeptic as a bouncer at the door. It is not more rigorous to toss out an idea before being examined in every way. We are wired to be able to investigate. So I simply say to the biggest skeptic of all, you are most welcome to your own inner table of inquiry, but be sure to invite everyone else.

(CNN) — For years, it felt like the social media landscape didn’t change much.
New apps came, new apps went, and the last one to really make a dent in the market was TikTok back in 2020.
But in the nine months since billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter, there has been a flurry of activity — multiple copycat apps have been released as users seek an alternative as the bird app changes under new leadership. The latest rival, Threads, was launched by Facebook-parent Meta and got a stunning start earlier this month.
CNN broke down some of the biggest and buzziest social media platforms — how they work, who they’re for and who runs them.
Facebook … when you’re looking for community (or used furniture)
With more than 2 billion daily users around the world, it’s tricky to describe the stereotypical Facebook user. Some come for Facebook Marketplace, which lets users buy and sell everything from vintage furniture to used cars. Many others come looking for community — whether that’s photo updates from their great aunt’s bridge night, or online groups dedicated to new parents or people navigating health challenges. But some of those communities have created serious issues, including groups that have spread vaccine misinformation or those that used the platform to help organize the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
Instagram … when you’re looking to feel envious
What started as a photo-sharing app for friends has morphed into a place where the goal is apparently to try to make yourself look hotter, more fun and more well-traveled than everyone else. Whether you’re looking at “lifestyle” tips from influencers, sponsored fashion or home décor content or photos from your high school crush’s summer Italy trip — it’s all there. That culture can make the platform fun and inspirational, but it’s also raised concerns about the app’s impact on users’ mental health, especially for young girls.
Pinterest … when you’re looking for inspiration
Pinterest lets users easily search for and organize visual-heavy inspiration on a wide range of creative topics. Planting a garden? Planning a wedding? Renovating an old home by hand? This is the platform for you. Pinterest has also been rolling out features to let users shop directly from their feeds.
TikTok … when you’re looking for entertainment
TikTok is no longer just an app for dancing teens, but many people still scroll (and scroll, and scroll) the shortform video app when they’re looking to be entertained. The platform serves up zippy videos on everything from news and book recommendations to comedy and “get ready with me” style makeup tutorials, and sometimes content about conspiracy theories or solving crime.
Snapchat … when you’re looking to chat with friends
Snapchat is generally known as the platform young people use to exchange quick, real-time photos or messages with their friends or family. The photos and chats disappear by default, so the app feels more ephemeral than other platforms designed to help users cultivate an online persona (although some parents and lawmakers have raised concerns about the safety for young people of an app where content disappears). Snapchat is also known for popularizing face-altering filters.
YouTube… when you’re looking for something to watch
The original video-based social network, YouTube has over the years brought the internet hits like “Charlie Bit My Finger,” “Keyboard Cat” and “David After Dentist” and launched countless influencers’ careers. YouTube has in recent years worked to crack down on various forms of misinformation, although it recently rolled back a policy that had prohibited election denialism content. The platform is now trying to take on TikTok with its “YouTube Shorts” short video feature.
Nextdoor … when you’re looking for info about your neighborhood
If you want to gossip about the neighbor who refuses to cut their lawn, advertise a garage sale, seek help finding a lost dog or ask for tips on where to send your kids for summer camp, Nextdoor will be helpful. The platform lets users connect with other people in their immediate geographic area — but please, be nice.
Discord … when you’re looking to play the same game with your friends
This free text, voice and video chat service is known for its popularity with teens and video gamers. The platform, which feels sort of like an evolution from early AOL chat rooms, now hosts community forums for everything from union organizers and hiking groups to meme enthusiasts and people interested in the metaverse. But Discord has also received attention for its dark side, including issues like racist memes, sexually explicit content and, recently, being the site of a major leak of US classified documents.
Twitch … when you’re looking to watch someone else play your favorite games
Imagine YouTube, but where every video on the front page is a live feed of somebody playing a video game. Countless streamers compete for your loyalty on camera as they crack jokes, respond to their viewers’ text chats and try to pull off the most exciting plays. The platform, which has been known to host a politician or two, also promotes video streams devoted to music, art, sports, and cooking.
LinkedIn … when you’re looking to network
Long gone are the days when LinkedIn was merely a place to publicly post your resume and update it only once every few years when looking for a new job. Now, the platform is a place for users to post career updates, share news and, for some, to pontificate on their thoughts about remote working, how to raise venture capital or how to choose the right candidate to hire. Beware of the occasional CEO tearfully discussing their company’s layoffs.
Truth Social … when you’re looking for right-wing political commentary
This alternative, Twitter copycat platform backed by Donald Trump launched last year as a way for the former president to reach his fans after being suspended from mainstream platforms in the wake of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. The platform remains largely populated by Trump and his associates, as well as other far-right political and media figures. The app also features a range of spammy advertisers, hawking things like a “free guide” for “US Dollar Doomsday” or “purple liquid” that “burns body fat like crazy.”
Reddit … when you’re looking to learn about niche subjects
Billing itself as the “front page of the internet,” Reddit is one of the few remaining social platforms that still feels like a giant watercooler discussion. The platform offers up a veritable smorgasbord of topics users can either flit between casually — a cute chinchilla video here, a literary discussion there — or follow down a deep rabbit hole. Its communities are self-managed, relying on volunteer users to make forum-specific rules and to moderate content. Lately, however, Reddit has alienated some of its users with some unpopular business decisions.
Twitter (aka X) … when you’re looking for what’s going on (for now)
For years, Twitter was a central hub for real-time news. It was a place for ordinary people to read and engage in conversation with celebrities, business leaders and other newsmakers. But the platform has been upended since billionaire Elon Musk bought it last October. He has made a series of controversial changes and policy decisions — such as cuts to staff and restoring accounts of previously banned users, including some neo-Nazis — that have left many users and advertisers seeking alternative platforms. Most recently, Musk did away with Twitter’s iconic bird logo and replaced it with “X” branding.
Threads … when you’re looking for musings from your favorite influencers, celebs and journalists
The latest Twitter competitor, Threads, was launched by Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta. The platform looks a lot like Twitter, with a feed of largely text-based posts — in addition to photos and videos — where people can have real-time conversations. The app attracted a stunning 100 million signups within a week of its launch, although usage has slowed somewhat since. But unlike Twitter, Threads says it doesn’t plan to lean heavily into news content and an influx of Instagram influencers has given it a tamer vibe.
Bluesky Social … when you’re looking for an alternative to Twitter
This Twitter copycat app, backed by Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey, calls itself a site for “microblogging.” It looks nearly identical to Twitter, albeit without key features like hashtags and direct messages. But the app runs on a decentralized network, providing users with more control over how the service is run, data is stored and content is moderated. The app is invite-only, so its audience and feed remain limited, but it gained early traction from public figures looking to spend less time on Twitter, including Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and model Chrissy Teigen.

DEAR AMY: My husband’s brother and his wife announced about a year ago that they had irreconcilable differences; they divorced after a long and loveless marriage.
To be honest we have no idea why they stayed together as long as they did.
About a month later, my brother-in-law introduced us to his new girlfriend.
I was initially very happy that he had found someone new who really seemed to fit into the family dynamic better than his ex.
But then his new girlfriend reached out on Facebook. I accepted her friend request and was trying to get to know her by looking at her past posts.
That’s when I realized that she and my brother-in-law had been in a relationship for at least five years.
I haven’t mentioned this to anyone else in the family except for my husband.
I was raised with a strong belief in the sanctity of marriage, and I unfortunately find their infidelity and lack of shame about it to be disturbing.
I try not to let this knowledge get in my way of being friendly with them, but it’s always sitting in the back of my mind, and I’ve found myself avoiding them so I don’t have to think about it.
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to keep this relationship friendly? I don’t want to damage my husband’s family dynamic.
– Don’t Want to be Judgmental
DEAR JUDGMENTAL: No one knows what goes on in another couple’s marriage, but my observation is that even long and loveless marriages can hang on until another potential partner enters the scene, which often serves as the impetus for the couple to finally separate.
Generally, when a separated or very recently divorced person introduces another partner to the family very quickly after parting with the spouse, it’s a sign that the new person has been on the scene for a while.
Your brother-in-law and his former wife might have had an understanding or were negotiating about how to handle their marriage and outside relationships prior to their divorce.
The girlfriend’s public posts indicate that there is an overall lack of shame regarding the relationship, and whether this is because they are actually shameless or perhaps reacting to a much more complicated personal situation remains to be seen. It is really none of your business, but if you’re curious, you could ask – but I suggest you work hard to keep your harsher judgment in check.
***
DEAR AMY: I thought your response to “Basically a Single Parent,” was, basically, awful. This father of two young children is addicted to his phone screen, and instead of telling him to pay attention to his kids, you suggest that he listen to music?!
– Disappointed
DEAR DISAPPOINTED: Other readers agree with you, and yes I also agree that the core issue is that this father was so disengaged with his very young children.
However, I raised children with the help of Broadway cast albums and NPR.
As long as your hands are free and you’re not too distracted, I think it’s fine to have some audio going in the background.

She's one of India's biggest Barbie fans. When Vichitra Rajasingh was growing up, family and friends helped her build her collection of Barbie dolls until she had almost 80 of them. She once owned a Barbie camper, a speedboat, supermarket and post office. The mermaid Barbie and scuba-diving Barbie were her favorites.
Since her family ran a hotel, they put the dolls on display in the lobby in the late '90s. On Rajasingh's 14th birthday, her parents painted her room bright pink and hired artists to draw her favorite Barbie dolls on the walls.
All her Barbies were blond. She says she didn't like the Indian ethnic ones that came on the local market.
Living the pink life
"My love for the color pink began with my childhood passion for Barbie," she says. "And now it's become my identity." For her, the color represents love, joy, femininity and playfulness, everything she once associated with Barbie, she says.
Today Rajasingh lives in the southern Indian city of Madurai, where she drives a pink mini-Cooper and runs a bakery and lives in an apartment that are dominated by that color.
When the Barbie movie released in India on July 21, she gathered a bunch of friends, "everyone dressed to the nines in pink," and watched it on the day of its release. "I loved the movie. It was fun to watch and brought back many joyful childhood memories," she says.
While she no longer has her huge doll collection — having long since given it away to family and friends — Rajasingh is still a Barbie lover. She bakes six or seven Barbie-themed cakes a week, with an actual doll at the center of a cake that serves as her frothy dress, constructed around her in a swirl of sugar and cream.
Rajasingh saw Barbie as an aspirational figure — and grew up admiring the doll's freedom, confidence, globe-trotting lifestyle and even her arched feet in sassy stilettos.
But for others in India, Barbie has a far more complicated legacy.
The pressures Barbie can bring
Shweta Sharan, a writer who lives in Mumbai, admits to being conflicted about whether or not to watch the movie with her 13-year-old daughter, Laasya, who until a year ago ardently loved Barbie but then outgrew playing with dolls.
"I am aware that these dolls have many complicated associations," Sharan says. "Watching my daughter love a doll that looked nothing like her — with blond hair, blue eyes, perfect breasts — I worried if she would always strive to be someone else and feel inadequate."
These worries are valid in the opinion of ElsaMarie DSilva, a social entrepreneur from India and an Aspen fellow. "While Barbie is almost universally loved among girls of all ages, many do aspire to look like her, unconsciously pressurizing young girls to conform to unrealistic body shapes and expectations," she says — a common criticism aimed at Barbie.
Indian Barbie is not a rousing success
Mattel did make an effort to adapt the doll for an Indian market. When Mattel launched Barbie in India in 1991, it was the familiar Western-looking blond-haired blue-eyed Barbie. Then in 1996, they rolled out Indian Barbie, with brown skin. She came either wearing a bright sari or a salwar kameez — a knee-length tunic over fitted trousers.
But the Indian Barbie was not popular. "Indian kids gravitated toward the white-skinned Barbie instead of the brown-skinned one because light-skinned women were considered more beautiful in India and an automatic choice," DSilva says.
She points out how even in Indian clothes, Barbie still had a body that did not represent real women in India or anywhere else — she was way too tall and way too thin.
Priti Nemani, an Indian American attorney living in Chicago, analyzed why Barbie failed so spectacularly in the Indian market in a research paper published in 2011. In addition to the unrealistic, impossibly thin appearance of the doll, she points out how other cultural factors were at play.
"We weren't seeing Indian features on Barbie," she says. "We were seeing white Barbies dipped in brown. And even those brown Barbies didn't last long on the shelves. The latest versions of the Indian Barbie have much lighter skin tone.
Meanwhile, even though blond Barbies sold well, Ken tanked in India. "Indian parents who wouldn't want their daughters in romantic relationships at such an early age weren't going to buy the boyfriend," Nemani says.
In spite of her initial misgivings, Sharan enjoyed the Barbie movie with her daughter, now 13, who especially liked the feminist overtones. Laasya loved the beginning, when they were told "Barbie has a great day everyday. Ken only has a great day if Barbie looks at him."
Barbie inspires a poem
There are other issues about Barbie in India. For many kids, the doll is too expensive.
Ankita Apurva, 26, a writer who grew up in a farming family in Ranchi, a city in the Eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, recalls a childhood bereft of Barbies.
Her parents, who struggled to pay for a good education that they hoped would be her armor against bullying and discrimination, could not afford to buy their daughter a Barbie.
"They weren't in a position to splurge on fancy dolls like a Barbie," she says. She recalls feeling inferior for not owning one of these expensive dolls that would help her connect with other Barbie owners in her circle. It was especially hard for her at lunch when girls would boast about how many dolls they owned.
"I believe that even if children from marginalized communities manage to enter [private] institutions [for the privileged], there are certain social, cultural and economic symbols which are consciously and subconsciously deployed to mark them out, and Barbie, as loved as it is, is definitely one of them," she says.
Over the years, Apurva's family has grown stronger financially. When she saw the global resurgence of interest in Barbie now, she didn't feel angry or alienated, but it did bring back memories of desperately wanting to fit in – and not just because she didn't have a Barbie.
"Growing up, I rarely felt represented in literature or media. If pens or cameras turned toward us, they inadvertently counted us as data: dead bodies of farmers or survivors of violence of umpteen kinds."
As a girl from a farming family in Jharkhand, Apurva felt invisible. And so, she decided to express those emotions. She wrote a poem that she posted on Instagram, not to shame anyone who is privileged enough to own a Barbie but to comfort those who, like her, may have felt left out.
Here are some excerpts:
"Here's to the girls who do not get the Barbie craze,
...
girls who had parents who could not
or did not or choose not
to get them Barbie dolls
...
it's okay,
to not relate to any of it
...
what is not okay are friends ...
who intentionally make you
feel low by asking how many Barbies
you owned as a kid even as they
know you weren't privileged enough
to have them.
...
you are also not "too much" ...
if you feel
that Barbie is a colonial icon
legitimizing racial supremacy
while being a 'white feminist' trope
...
and once again
remember,
you are everything,
they are just Ken

During an idyllic Musikfest evening in 2013, Kassie Hilgert was sitting on a bench with her partner at Liederplatz, her favorite of the platzes, when Jeff Parks suddenly appeared, as if “out of the shadows” the former recalled.
“I’ve got nothing else,” he said then from the platz at the courtyard of the Sun Inn (Parks’ favorite as well). “If this doesn’t do it for you — it’s a perfect night, everyone is out, it’s great music — this is it, so you’ve got to make up your mind.”
The decision in question was one that Hilgert will say now she thought about for “way too long,” and one that wouldn’t be announced until the following summer, but if there was ever a night to make the call, it was that one — warm summer air, a crowded downtown, a smorgasbord of smells in the air — a perfect crystallization of the now-40-year-old festival.
The following year would be Parks’ last as president and CEO of ArtsQuest, the arts nonprofit organization he founded and built that has played a massive role in revitalizing Bethlehem, making nights like that one in 2013 possible. The nonprofit’s board of trustees conducted a nationwide search for a new head honcho, but, as Parks knew, their best candidate had been right under their noses since 2008, when Hilgert, the then-senior vice president of marketing and engagement, joined ArtsQuest.
Since Parks retired at the end of 2014, she’s taken over as the only other person to hold the title of ArtsQuest president. In the years since the change, Musikfest has continued to develop and grow, with some tweaks and experiments coming here and there, but in the general sense, the change in ArtsQuest’s hierarchy hasn’t dramatically changed the festival and what it means to Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley as a whole.
For 40 years — through new venues, mug designs, flash floods, a pandemic and thousands upon thousands of ears of corn — Musikfest has remained a festival that, for a little under two weeks in August, becomes the epicenter of the Lehigh Valley, while continuing morph in ways that better reflect the region it calls home.
From the first 182,000 fest-goers in 1984 to the most recent 1.24 million in 2022, Musikfest has routinely succeeded to a constantly increasing degree in bringing together the surrounding community. That was Parks’ goal when he started the festival, and it’s still the goal for Hilgert, ArtsQuest’s staff and the hundreds of volunteers that make the festival happen year in and year out. Starting on Thursday, the 40th edition of Musikfest will be no different.
Plenty of Musikfest faithful spend time on Bethlehem’s Southside under the towering visage of the Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces without a second thought during these 11 August days, whether it’s at one of the Wind Creek Steel Stage headlining shows or Americaplatz’s nightly offerings. That wasn’t even an afterthought for Parks back in 1984.
“This was all about how do we take this post-industrial community and allow it to thrive in an environment that wasn’t even post-industrial at the time,” he said. “It was just desperate. So did we envision the festival as it is today? No.”
But Parks had to start somewhere, and music was the answer. Even then, he said, it was part of the community’s heritage, so this festival was to be a festival of music — literally all music. “We just presented everything that had to do with music,” he said, “It wasn’t a blues festival, it wasn’t a jazz festival, it wasn’t a folk festival. It was going to just give people exposure to all different kinds of music.”
You can look up and down the lineup for Musikfest past and present, and that hasn’t changed — there’s hip-hop, electric, punk and country artists scattered across platzes on any given day of the festival. But while also getting more eclectic as the years have gone on, the festival’s offerings have also consciously gotten more diverse.
The addition of Plaza Tropical to the grounds’ free stages in 2000 added a much-needed home for Latin American music at a festival that takes place in a region with a significant Hispanic population — Allentown’s population is 54% Hispanic according to census data, while Bethlehem’s total is a hair under 30%. The organization has a responsibility to make sure the festival’s offerings reflect that, Hilgert said. It’s a community festival, so it has to be for all of the community.
“We said we will accept people from all communities with all abilities,” Parks said, who’s a Lehigh Valley native and product of both the Bethlehem Area School District and Lehigh University. “You have a home here. When you inject different groups into this environment,” he said, “it’s a place where everybody can learn about people with whom they felt they had great differences.”
While the festival has a solid track record of inclusiveness, Hilgert knows that Musikfest, and ArtsQuest as a whole, still has room to grow in the diversity department. “It is the continuous journey of a mission that will never be met,” she said. “There is always somebody that we are not reaching, there is always a community that we are not engaging. And so that is the excitement of each year — looking at the calendar to say what are we going to continue, but what else can we do to invite the community in?”
Even though Plaza Tropical has been around for over two decades of the festival, there have been just a handful of headliners on any iteration of the festival’s main stage, including 2022′s Olga Tañón headlining show and El Gran Combo’s this year. The recent shows have been a renewed conscious effort from ArtsQuest, Hilgert said, and Musikfest is outfitting its headlining stage with acts that more accurately represent the demographics of the Lehigh Valley. “It’s been in our DNA,” she said, “but we’re paying more attention to it.”
As important as the music is to the festival, it might not even be the most crucial part of attending for Lehigh Valleyans.
“You cannot underestimate how much people love to walk in the street with a beer in their hands,” Hilgert said.
It is simultaneously true and extremely funny that Musikfest’s long-standing tradition of a massive prevalence of beer and beer mugs have played such a big role, maybe the biggest, in the growth of the festival, but it is more abstractly representative of what Musikfest means to its annual crowd that now regularly tops 1 million people.
Musikfest, more than perhaps anything else, is about hanging out. Whether you’re catching up with friends, visiting with family, welcoming in out-of-towners or sharing a laugh with strangers, the music can often become merely background noise for the beer-in-hand lazy summer evenings spent with other people.
Hilgert herself was an early adopter of the social aspect of the festival. As a 13-year-old from Allentown eager to check out the very first Musikfest, she and her friends finagled their way to the festival and were blown away by what they found.
“It was like, ‘alright, you tell your parents you’re staying there, and then you tell your parents you’re staying over here, and we’re going to find a way to get to Bethlehem,’” she said. “Because we just had to see this thing. I remember no music. All I remember is frantically running around like little gangs of teenagers wandering all over Bethlehem. It was like a foreign land. It was so cool.” The festival became a regular part of Hilgert’s summer, through her years at Salisbury High School in the late ‘80s to 2008, when it became a part of her career.
So it makes sense, then, why the community flocked to it. It’s simultaneously a final summer hurrah for kids before school is back in session and where parents can take advantage of a chance to cut loose a little bit. People plan vacations around it. As growing popularity meant more traffic, Bethlehem residents began hosting cheaper parking in their driveways. People have met spouses at Musikfest (including ArtsQuest board and staff members), and platzes have even hosted weddings in between bands.
“That’s the community owning (the festival),” Hilgert said. “There’s nothing more important than when the community owns this.”
It became a place people wanted to be, and by extension, so did Bethlehem. When Parks talks about the festival, he’s quick to note Musikfest and ArtsQuest, and their success, is, to him, the second-most exciting facet of all of this. The most exciting, though, is what has happened around the festival.
“This is a place people want to live,” Parks said. His hope and goal, from the beginning, was to let the community reach its potential. Parks, a developer in the city himself, can run through the projects, some ArtsQuest and some not, that began to sprout up across the north and then Southside of Bethlehem, maybe not solely because of Musikfest, but the line from point A to point B is easy to draw.
Christkindlmarkt came first, in 1993, to restore the Christmas City brand that had wavered. The Banana Factory, which was built in 1998, was a major ArtsQuest investment in Southside Bethlehem. Starting in the late 1990s, Hotel Bethlehem underwent a significant restoration under new ownership that led to a reputation as one of the top historic hotels in the country. The casino, first as Sands and now as Wind Creek, opened in 2009 just outside the heart of the Southside, where the ArtsQuest Center joined it two years later in the shadow of Bethlehem Steel’s blast furnaces.
Those are just some of the major developments. There have been hundreds more small-scale changes, from an influx of small businesses and a calendar full of events to organizations like the Downtown Bethlehem Association and the Southside Arts District to shepherd social and commercial activity.
“I get such a kick walking down Third Street now with all these apartments going up and parking garages and car spots all over,” Parks said. “I walk on Main Street almost every day, just to see how things are going. They’re going pretty well.”
For as much progress as has been made in 40 years, there’s always more to be made. Parks oversaw 31 of these first 40, and this festival will be Hilgert’s ninth in charge (only 22 more until they’re even). Still, while they were and are the figureheads, it’s a team effort that helps the festival continue to change and grow and constantly become a better version of itself. And the team is pretty darn big.
“In this role,” Hilgert said, “when you hire the right people, then you can step back and let them do what they do.” There are also hundreds of Musikfest volunteers, plenty of which also volunteer with ArtsQuest year-round, serving on committees and participating in other programming. They’re all part of the constant, fluid development process for the festival.
Parks jokes that when he was president, he would walk around feeling like he had a “complaint department” sign on his back, because there were plenty of critics of the festival, some more logical than others.
Those whose complaints were along the lines of “there are too many people on Main Street” weren’t exactly helpful, but there were plenty of points made that helped tweak and fine-tune the festival.
“I see (those criticisms) as an opportunity,” Hilgert said. “If they’re speaking up and saying good job or bad job, they’re engaged. That’s a person to bring closer and pick their brain, and they may have the next great idea.”
“99% of these ideas were not mine,” Parks said.
If there was any one idea that was Parks’, it was starting the whole thing in the first place, so there is some credit due. Through both his and Hilgert’s leadership, the festival has cemented itself as the premiere event of the Lehigh Valley’s calendar.
That’s perhaps not something anyone expected back in 1984, but that just implies, for Parks, that there’ll be even more unexpected joys over the next 40 years: “there’s a whole ethos around the festival that you can keep discovering forever.”

People have asked me what I've learned so far through this series. Have I gotten any clarity on what makes up my own spiritual identity? And the answer is, not really. I'm still in the research phase of this project. I'm still collecting experiences and perspectives and I imagine I'll keep doing that forever, but it's too early to draw any definitive conclusions — except for one.
I believe each and every one of us is capable of making our own meaning. Some of us do that by living according to a set of religious principles. Or by feeling the beauty and sanctity of nature. Or by choosing to see spiritual connections in what others might call mere coincidence.
I don't need anyone to validate those experiences for them to be meaningful to me. But according to Lisa Miller, a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, having a spiritual life is good for your mental health.
Miller is a psychologist and has dedicated most of her career to the study of neuroscience and spirituality. Her newest book is called The Awakened Brain, and in it she makes some really bold claims about how holding spiritual beliefs can decrease our rates of anxiety and depression and generally make us most likely to lead happier lives. I can hear your skepticism already! I get it. I'm a spiritually inclined kind of person but it's still hard for me to understand how, scientifically speaking, believing in something bigger than yourself can make you healthier and happier.
I needed to understand how Miller came to these conclusions. But before she got to the actual science, she told me a story.
It was the mid '90s. Miller was in the early stages of her career and working at a residential mental health facility in New York City. After she'd been there a few months, Yom Kippur rolled around — the day of atonement, considered the most significant of the Jewish religious holidays. One of the older male patients with severe bipolar disorder asked if there were any plans to mark the day. The doctor in charge shrugged his shoulders and said, no — there's no service planned. The patient walked out of the room with his shoulders slumped and Lisa, who is Jewish, saw an opportunity.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Lisa Miller: I approached the unit chief and said, "I'm certainly not a rabbi, but I've been to two-and-a-half decades of Yom Kippur services. I'd be happy to facilitate if that might be OK with you." So I showed up on Yom Kippur and the patients had arrived early to the kitchen, which was to be our sanctuary. The fluorescent lights were quite strong and as we crowded around the linoleum table there was an extraordinary feeling of specialness.
As we started the prayers that we all knew from our childhood, joining together saying in Hebrew the prayers of Yom Kippur, I looked over and noticed that as the gentleman with bipolar was davening, he could not have been further from explosive. He was holding our group in the cadence of the prayers and we were actually following him.
I took a pause and I said, "I feel so grateful to be here today in our Yom Kippur ceremony. Would anyone like to say anything?" We went around the table and the first person to speak was a very otherwise withdrawn woman with recurrent depression. She said, "You know, I always knew on Yom Kippur we could ask for forgiveness. But sitting here now with you all, I'm aware that we can be forgiven. God can forgive us." And she looked liberated.
As I looked around the table at the patients, whatever their symptoms had been yesterday, they were free in that moment. They were free of suffering. They were free of the characteristic patterns that had dragged them down in a way that was equal and opposite to their main symptoms. And so I thought a mental health system minus spirituality made no sense, and that became my life's work, to understand the place of spirituality in renewal, in recovery, in resilience, and to put this in the language of science.
Rachel Martin: What happened when you brought these kinds of questions to your peers, to the other people in your scientific community? Like when you said for the first time, "Hey, I think we need to look at the effect of spirituality on mental health." What did people say to you?
Miller: Well, the vast majority were very respectful, nodded, and didn't pick up the thread. Some of them would say, "That's not psychology, that's not psychiatry." And in fact, I remember early on giving a grand rounds presentation and I opened up saying, "I'm going to speak today about a body of data using nationally representative samples on spirituality and mental health with all the gold standard methods." And about 10 people got up and walked out. It was absolutely not of interest.
Martin: Using the gold standard, what did that mean in terms of the experiments you were running and the studies and the data you were collecting? How did you make sure that it would hold water in the scientific community?
Miller: If I were to characterize the first five years of my investigation, I would say I used the data sets that everyone else knew and trusted. I only asked one new question, which was: "What's the impact of spirituality on the DSM diagnosis of addiction and depression?" The findings were jaw dropping.
The protective benefit of personal spirituality, meaning someone who says their personal spirituality is very important, is 80% against addiction. They have 80% decreased relative risk for the DSM diagnosis of addiction to drugs or alcohol.
Martin: Wait, so someone who self-identifies as having a meaningful spiritual life is 80% less likely to get addicted to drugs or alcohol than someone who says they don't?
Miller: Yes.
Martin: Wow. And how can you prove that it is a spiritual life that is doing that and not some external factor? Because you heard this from other critics, too, some of your peers said you can't attribute that to spirituality, it's gotta be some other social conditioning.
Miller: Well, that's a very important point because in every study we controlled for all of the usual interpretations about this being social support or having resources. So we plugged into our equation every other possible explanation that was generally taken in mental health to explain the road to depression. And nonetheless, it actually turned out that the more high risk we are, the more that there's stress in our lives, the more that we might be genetically at risk for depression, the greater the impact of spirituality as a source of resilience as preventative against major depression.
Martin: What does that look like in the brain?
Miller: One of the most beautiful findings in my 20 years as an investigator was from an MRI study conducted together with our colleagues at Yale Medical School. We looked at people of many different faith traditions and the first finding was that there is one neuro seat of transcendent perception and we share it. Now there's human variability of course, and we can strengthen components.
Martin: How are you actually doing that with people? Are you asking your subjects to pray? What are the spiritual inputs that are going into them so that you can measure it on their brains?
Miller: The very specific prompt was, "Tell us about a time where you felt a deep connection to God, your higher power, the source of life." Everyone had a story like that and as they told their story, we recorded them and it was then played back in their ears while they were inside the scanner.
Martin: Ah, they heard themselves recounting their spiritual experience.
Miller: It was tailor made to their own moment.
Martin: And you saw their brains light up?
Miller: Oh yes. Connecting to these memories, the bonding network comes up online just as when we were held in the arms of our parents or grandparents.
Martin: Wait, when you say the bonding network you mean you can literally see that the brain will respond to spiritual stimuli in the same way that it does to a hug from a family member when you're a baby?
Miller: Precisely.
Martin: Can you tell me how this manifests in the real world? I'm thinking about this anecdote you include in the book about a client of yours. A girl you refer to as Iliana.
Miller: Iliana adored her father, I mean, he was the sun and the moon and the stars to her. They were so close. And one night two men who her father knew, came into his corner store, robbed him and murdered him. And she was devastated. This was a grief that was so deep. She simply could not free herself from the grief that was shackling her heart.
One day, Iliana skips into my office. There's a levity and joy. She plops into the seat and says, "Dr. Miller, you're never gonna believe this. My cousin and my cousin's girlfriend chaperoned me so I could go to a party and I met the most wonderful boy. We talked so long, it must have been 20 minutes. He was so polite and so kind. But here's the best part, his name." Which was the same very usual name as her father.
She said, "Don't you see? My father sent him. My father is looking out after me." And from that day on she was in the world of the living. What changed everything for Iliana was the awareness that her father walked with her. She maintained a deep transcendent relationship with her father, as most people around the world do.
Iliana trusted her deep inner knowing that this was far too probabilistic to have happened by chance. That this very rare name held both by this new boy and her father could possibly mean nothing.
Martin: Can I ask, what are you thinking as you hear this? I mean, are you thinking that is just a crazy coincidence, but if she needs to believe that this is a sign from God, who am I to tell her otherwise? Because it seems to be working.
Miller: Well, at the time, that was certainly the most common interpretive framework amongst psychologists and psychiatrists. But I could see plain as day that this was a tremendously sacred moment. This was a living miracle. This was a gift.
For me to have treated it like some kind of cultural diversity variable or that it's just the meaning she makes would've actually taken all of the energy and spirit out of that transformative awakening moment. I joined her.
Now I did that authentically because it was my view as well that this is far too nonprobabilistic to have happened by chance, that there are very few people by that very same name and that the first boy she met in a year and a half since her father's passing should have the name of the father. It was a synchronicity. There was a deeper meaning being revealed.
Martin: When you're talking to people who aren't scientists, someone who's skeptical, someone who doesn't have faith, who doesn't have what they define as a spiritual life, what do you want them to take away from your research and your message?
Miller: I've given a number of talks to audiences who, prior to seeing the science, would not necessarily consider themselves spiritual people. And, in fact, I oftentimes hear from people who consider themselves skeptics and very left-brained and when they see the peer reviewed science that says we're naturally spiritual beings, that when we cultivate our spirituality we're 80% less likely to be addicted, 82% less likely to take our lives, it speaks to the left side of their brains long enough that it quiets down the skepticism.
In other words, three cheers for the skeptic. Here is published, peer reviewed science for skeptical audiences to begin to explore, to be curious about our spiritual nature. You know, at the inner table of human knowing we all have an empiricist, a logician, an intuitive, a mystic, and a skeptic. And the skeptic is very welcome, but the skeptic is not the bouncer at the door.
It is not scientific to put a skeptic as a bouncer at the door. It is not more rigorous to toss out an idea before being examined in every way. We are wired to be able to investigate. So I simply say to the biggest skeptic of all, you are most welcome to your own inner table of inquiry, but be sure to invite everyone else.

PHILADELPHIA – This week, the NFL has been releasing its annual list of the top 100 players. So far, wide receiver DeVonta Smith and cornerback Darius Slay are the two Eagles who have been announced as among the best players in the league. However, there is one name you will not see: James Bradberry.
Bradberry was selected as a second-team All-Pro last season after finishing with two interceptions, 57 tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery while allowing a quarterback rating of 51.8, but after the votes submitted by other NFL players were tallied, he was ranked as the 107th best player. For Bradberry, his absence from the list surprised him, but he brushed aside his animosity toward being passed over.

“I thought I was going to be on there a little higher, but it is what it is because I didn’t make the list,” Bradberry said. “At the end of the day, I don’t play for those accolades or to be on that top 100 list. I play for wins, and I’ll be my best when I’m on the field.”
A few of the cornerbacks that were on the list in front of Bradberry include Marlon Humphrey (Baltimore Ravens), Marshon Lattimore (New Orleans Saints), Tariq Woolen (Seattle Seahawks), and Trevon Diggs (Dallas Cowboys).
Bradberry could have had a chance to prove he belonged on the list for another team. Heading into this past offseason, Bradberry was one of the top free-agent cornerbacks on the market. However, it came as a shock when he re-signed with the Eagles agreed on a three-year, $38 million contract, $20 million of which is guaranteed. Knowing he will be with the Eagles for a few more years has made things easier for him to prepare for the upcoming season.
“I feel a lot more comfortable,” Bradberry said. “I’m around the guys for a second year, so we got more time together. Of course, I enjoy this defense, this coaching staff, and, of course, the city, so I’m glad to be back.”

Bradberry returning also meant he would continue to play with Slay on the outside, a combination that played a significant part in the Eagles having the best pass defense in the league last, allowing 189.1 yards per game. The Eagles had the low total because of the symbiotic relationship the secondary had with the front seven, with the coverage allowing the pass rushers to affect the quarterback, which in turn forced quarterbacks to get the ball out quickly to receivers being tightly covered by Bradberry and the other defensive backs.
“I think we could be as good as we want to be,” Bradberry said. “I know Slay, and I believe he’s a Hall of Famer. He’s one of the greatest corners this past decade, and we are trying to build up our standing in this decade as well. I want to do my part, whatever the assignment is for that week. That was my mindset last year: Go in there, do my part, and make sure I accomplish my goal.”

FCPS helps collect school supplies through Stuff the Bus
LEXINGTON, Ky (WTVQ)- We are just days away from some schools starting a new school year here in central Kentucky.
This weekend, Fayette County Public Schools officials are hoping to make a positive impact before students return to their classrooms through their annual Stuff the Bus collection drive.
“It’s been an initiative that we have done for several years. And it has grown exponentially,” says Carolyn Ford, the Family and Community Engagement Liaison for FCPS.
FCPS is partnering with several other local organizations for the initiative this weekend.
At Greyline Station and at Lexington Green,school buses are set up ready for those donations to come in.They’re hoping the community helps “stuff” the bus full of supplies.
“Some of the things like one-inch binders, binders are really expensive. And our kids really need those. Those are some of the items that the teachers are requesting. Headphones, that’s one of the big pushes this year. Headphones and ear buds,” says Ford.
Other items in need include calculators, crayons, pencils, markers, and cleaning supplies. If you can’t make it out to donate in person, FCPS says there are ways to donate money specifically for the event to purchase supplies for the school year all in an effort to help remove barriers from families who can’t afford supplies.
“A lot of families have to choose between buying school supplies and buying food. So we’re helping to try to eliminate that. We want to say let us help you. Let’s see what we can do. Let’s partner together,” says Ford.
If you missed Saturday’s Stuff the Bus, the event returns to Greyline Station Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. | https://www.wtvq.com/fcps-helps-collect-school-supplies-through-stuff-the-bus/ | 2023-07-30T11:44:00 | 1 | https://www.wtvq.com/fcps-helps-collect-school-supplies-through-stuff-the-bus/ |
Georgetown Police searching for vehicle theft suspects
GEORGETOWN, Ky (WTVQ)- The Georgetown police department needs your help in identifying two people they believe could be involved in an overnight vehicle theft.
The department posted on social media Saturday saying two people went through multiple vehicles Friday night in Bradford.
They’re asking anyone with information to contact investigators at (502)-863-7820. | https://www.wtvq.com/georgetown-police-searching-for-vehicle-theft-suspects/ | 2023-07-30T11:44:06 | 0 | https://www.wtvq.com/georgetown-police-searching-for-vehicle-theft-suspects/ |
Lexington event provides free haircuts, food for community
LEXINGTON, Ky (WTVQ)- One Lexington group gave out haircuts and spoke about the importance of health during an event Saturday.
Poject Ricochet hosted their event at Wise Guys Barbershop.
The event included free haircuts, food, and covid vaccines and booster shots. It also included a hip hop performance and live graffiti artwork.
Organizers say the reason for the event is to bring healthcare resources to a community that often may not know where to go to get vital information.
“It’s just a way to bring awareness to the community. We realize that the barbershop is sort of the center, especially for black men, a way of communication, a way to come and de-stress from our long week, or just destress from your week. We know when you come to your barber you tell them almost anything, so we want to empower the barbers with knowledge of health and empower the community with knowledge of health. Because without health, you’re nothing,” says Dwight Sthillai, the Barbershop Initiative Manager.
The organization is partnering with other barbershops across Lexington- to host more events in the coming weeks. | https://www.wtvq.com/lexington-event-provides-free-haircuts-food-for-community/ | 2023-07-30T11:44:12 | 0 | https://www.wtvq.com/lexington-event-provides-free-haircuts-food-for-community/ |
