CNN —Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels was left raging at what he called “a joke of a penalty” after the team’s 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. With Malik Tillman advancing into the box, Hummels slid in and clearly won the ball before following through on the attacker. However, referee Srđan Jovanović immediately pointed to the spot and Luuk de Jong stepped up and confidently buried the penalty kick. I cannot believe there can be decisions like today or against Chelsea or PSG with the VAR,” Hummels posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the match. They might as well give the referee that’s made the decision the opportunity to make the right decision anyway in his opinion.

An Airbnb landlord said a tenant stopped paying rent and battled to make her leave. It took 570 days of legal back-and-forth, roughly $60,000 in unpaid rent, and a police escort before Elizabeth Hirschhorn finally left the property on Friday, Sebastian Rucci, an attorney for Jovanovic, told Insider. Within an hour of watching Hirschhorn drive away, per Rucci's motion to dismiss the eviction suit against Hirschhorn, Jovanovic changed the locks. The Times reported Jovanovic offered to pay for Hirschhorn to stay in a hotel while the repairs were completed, but she declined. Hirschhorn had refused to relocate unless Jovanovic paid her $100,000, the Times reported, citing a settlement offer the outlet reviewed.

Open Society Foundations said Tuesday that it will spin off its support for Europe's Roma communities into a new foundation and pledged €100 million, around $107 million, for that work. The Roma Foundation for Europe, which will be independent of OSF, launches in January and will be based in Brussels, said the foundations. Under Alex Soros' leadership, the foundations announced in July that it would significantly retool its structure and layoff 40% of its staff globally. “We will also keep up — and dramatically increase — our efforts to secure equal treatment for Europe’s largest ethnic minority, the 12 million Roma (who mostly live in Eastern Europe),” Alex Soros wrote. OSF will not have representatives on the board of the Roma Foundation for Europe, said Jovanovic, adding that the decision to start the foundation was made last year, independently of the restructuring.

While plenty of studies have been done on fascia training, many experts claim there is a lack of robust studies.

Shortly after, the authorities received a call from the perpetrator, saying that he had shot several people at the school and giving its address, Mr. Miljic said. Six children and a teacher were injured in the attack and taken to the hospital. A security guard was killed while trying to stop the attack, according to the district’s mayor, Milan Nedeljkovic. “He wanted to prevent a tragedy, which would have been even greater if he had not stood in front of the boy who shot,” Mr. Nedeljkovic said in an interview with state media outside the school on Wednesday.

[1/6] Protesters shout slogans and hold signs during a demonstration against a Western-backed deal on normalizing ties between Kosovo and Serbia in Belgrade March 17, 2023. REUTERS/Djordje KojadinovicBELGRADE, March 17 (Reuters) - Several thousand people gathered in Belgrade to protest against a Western-backed deal to normalise ties between Kosovo and Serbia, which they view as recognition of Kosovo independence. Bilateral ties need to be mended for Serbia and Kosovo to achieve their strategic goal of joining the EU. Protesters held Serbian flags and banners reading "Kosovo is not for sale," "Serbia, not European Union," and "No to capitulation." "This is just the start of the protest," said Milos Jovanovic, leader of the Democratic Party of Serbia, which was one of the protest organisers.

☆ 8 Phrases That Make You Sound Weak at Work and What to Say Instead
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-30 | by ( Michael Thompson | Mike Thompson Blog | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +10 min

Avoid phrases like, "I'm not an expert but..." and "It's just that..." to sound more confident. Plus, according to sociologist Maja Jovanovic in her TED Talk, saying sorry make us appear smaller and timider than we really are. So if you catch yourself complaining instead of saying "sorry for venting" or "sorry for laying this on you," steal a line from Maja and try this simple switch instead — "Thank you for listening." But try to limit how much you say you're sorry when there's nothing for you to be sorry about. This may sound obvious, but "sorry, I'm stupid" happens.

☆ Dacă te-ai fi născut rom şi ai fi om, la locul tău, ţi-ar plăcea să fii judecat după apucăturile neortodoxe ale unora de care te leagă doar etnia?

Fondurile europene trebuie să meargă direct către prevenirea şi combaterea rasismului anti-rrom şi către pozitivarea imaginii de sine etnice a rromilor. Dacă te-ai fi născut rom şi ai fi om, la locul tău, ţi-ar plăcea să fii judecat după apucăturile neortodoxe ale unora de care te leagă doar etnia? Tot ei au înfiinţat prin 2015 o coaliţie intitulată Federaţia Democrată a Romilor, FeDeR, pe vremea când Partida Romilor se clătina. Tot ong-urile conduse de ei au controlat şi Decada de Incluziune a Romilor şi rezultatele nu sunt, nici pe departe, cele aşteptate. Care sunt proiectele implementate de Fundaţia Tudor, care sunt realizările acestor proiecte şi ce rezultate pozitive pentru comunităţile de rromi a obţinut?
