Ethnic Conflict Kills 11 People in Western Congo

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Fighting between ethnic communities left 11 people dead in western Congo on Tuesday, a local authority and civil society leader said after their bodies were collected on Wednesday. The conflict between Teke and Yaka communities that started in 2022 over a land dispute caused a deterioration in the humanitarian and security situation in several provinces near the capital Kinshasa. At least 3,000 people have been killed and more than 150,000 displaced by the conflict, according to the United Nations. The clashes in Mai-Ndombe province killed 10 Mobondo militants, allied with the Yaka community, and one soldier, village chief Stany Libie and civil society leader Martin Suta told Reuters.

Portia Stafford, a petite and usually soft-spoken 22-year-old, shouted through the razor wire at the burly men guarding the construction site in Soweto, a sprawling township in South Africa. When a guard threatened to shoot, the group backed off and Ms. Stafford felt her resolve deflate. Ms. Stafford, her sister and two cousins all have high school diplomas — historically a ticket to a decent job in South Africa. “There’s no moving forward,” Ms. Stafford said. She frets that only those with connections succeed, but she said, “I keep trying to get a job, and I go all out.”

Stocks look "pretty pricey" and a recession is "right around the corner," Steve Hanke told Insider. Hanke sees inflation cooling, 10-year Treasury yields falling, and house prices staying afloat. As for the housing market, Hanke noted there's a shortage of homes for sale. Steve Hanke is professor of applied economics at Johns Hopkins University. "With lower inflation and a recession right around the corner, I anticipate that the 10-year yields will come down and the gap will close," Hanke said.

South Africa's women's team, known as "Banyana Banyana", reached the last 16 at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand earlier this month -- the first time either the men's or women's team had achieved the feat. In a 2022 investigation into the bonus structure for Banyana Banyana, South Africa's Commision for Gender Equity found that "players are not remunerated on the same scale (as) ... their male counterparts". For instance, South Africa's women's players received only a 55,000 rand ($2,885) bonus for reaching the final of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, which they went on to win. "We're coming from very disadvantaged homes, we become breadwinners," Portia Modise, former Banyana Banyana captain, told Reuters after playing a friendly in the township of Soweto. That figure compared with $440 million for the men's tournament in Qatar.

Gen Z is soft, millennials are embarrassing, boomers are evil, and no one has thought about Gen X in years. But late this spring, Pew announced it would no longer use generational labels such as millennial and Gen Z in its research. By and large, Cohen shares Duffy's view that generational labels make it tough for both experts and laypeople to distinguish between generational traits and universal, or multifactorial, occurrences. To its credit, Pew has been transparent in acknowledging how the use of generational labels may have tilted its analyses. Pew "does believe generational research can be a useful tool in the right context," Parker told me.

CNN —Sixteen children allegedly abused in the Philippines have been rescued after Australian police found sexually explicit material on the phone of a man arrested in Sydney. The investigation began in January when the Australian Border Force intercepted a Queensland man, 56, as he returned to Sydney from the Philippines, the statement said. After searching his phone, the ABF found child abuse material and messages detailing his intent to pay a facilitator who would enable him to sexually abuse children in the Philippines. The man was charged with three offenses including grooming and possession of child abuse material, which carry a potential maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. “We must collaborate with our international partners, such as the AFP, to arrest offenders and rescue child victims,” she said.

Lube That’s Too Chic for the Sock Drawer
  + stars: | 2023-06-19 | by ( Gina Cherelus | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For Portia Brown, a sex coach in Brooklyn, lube is nonnegotiable. “I don’t think I’ve had sex in the last five years without reaching for a lubricant,” she said. Inside her night stand drawer is an array of personal lubricants: some silicone-based, some oil-based, some infused with CBD. One thing most of them have in common, however, is the chic packaging and bottles they come in, imbuing a sex aid with the allure of a beauty product. Indeed, there is now a “lube aesthetic.”

“The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex,” White said. “I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at ‘White Lotus.’” (Season 1 of the show took place in Hawaii, followed by this season’s bawdy action set in Sicily.) That’s not the only clue White has dropped for the next season of “Lotus,” which already jumped halfway around the world once, from the Pacific to the Mediterranean. You know, we did Europe, and maybe Asia, something crazy like that, that would be fun,” White told Deadline in October, going on to mention Japan as a potential contender for the setting of the third ritzy White Lotus resort.
In ‘White Lotus,’ Is Portia the Voice of Gen Z?
  + stars: | 2022-12-11 | by ( Ellen Gamerman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
When “The White Lotus” season finale airs on Sunday night, viewers may come away a little wiser about Sicily, couples vacations and modern love. But perhaps the biggest lesson of all will be in the ways of Gen Z, whose personalities series creator Mike White writes with gleeful zeal and dead-on precision. Their leader of sorts is Portia, a personal assistant from San Francisco who is at loose ends during her boss’s luxury resort vacation on the Italian coast. The character, the embodiment of Gen Z angst and attitude, is played by Haley Lu Richardson. Portia’s employer Tanya, a loopy rich lady in perpetual crisis played by Jennifer Coolidge, is at her most lucid when trying to hand down older-woman wisdom to her young charge.

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have been busy flipping houses in Montecito. If sold, the property would be DeGeneres' 8th home sale just this year. The 64-year-old comic and wife Portia de Rossi have listed their posh 1,900-square-foot cottage in Montecito, California for sale for $5.8 million. DeGeneres purchased the home just six months ago for $5.4 million, according to a report by Dirt. There's also an outdoor dining area in one of the property's most shaded areas, and a one-bedroom guest cabin.
But sometimes, the occasion can elevate the final into a historic match, as was the case at the women’s rugby World Cup as New Zealand defeated England 34-31 in Auckland to become the first ever host nation to win the tournament. It had everything: countless tries, a red card, a brilliant comeback, a hat-trick, and a world-record crowd for a women’s rugby game packed into Eden Park. Five minutes later, Cokayne completed her hattrick and set up a grandstand finale with the scoreline poised at 29-31 to England. “You could not have asked for more from the girls, it’s a very special group and we can be immensely proud of what we’ve done for the women’s game. “It will hurt, we don’t want to be losing World Cup finals especially in the manner that we’ve done, but I’m so, so proud of what we’ve done.”
People across Africa have used shea butter for skin and hair care, food, and medicine for at least 700 years. Shea butter-making has been the only source of income for many women in Ghana for centuries. Deforestation and competition from bigger companies are threatening the livelihoods of the women and their families. People across Africa have used it for skin and hair care, food, and medicine for at least 700 years. We traveled to Ghana to find out how despite the challenges, this group of women artisans is still standing.
Sexola ne spune despre limitele de masturbare, cât e normal să ne masturbăm și când e prea mult. Altfel spus, unele persoane văd în masturbare o soluție împotriva stresului. „E o funcționare aplicabilă mai mult bărbaților, mă refer la mai multe studii din Franța. Găsește momente în care o să poți să te masturbezi și asta o să-ți aducă și plăcere, și o anumită liniște. „O femeie care se masturbează, e o femeie pentru care propria plăcere e ceva important.

Mussels Seafood and Wine este primul restaurant din Chișinău în care nu veți găsi nicio specialitate din carne, pentru că se specializează exclusiv pe fructe de mare și pește. Vitrina cu pește și fructe de mare era cam sărăcăcioasă. A fost o senzație tare faină, erau proaspete, am simțit mirosul mării, iar gustul stridiei a fost deosebit. Paella era bogată în fructe de mare: langustine, creveți, calamari și midii. Acest material a fost scris de către Tomm Reviews.

Riscuri pentru mamă şi copil în cazul întreruperii spontane a alăptării, psihologÎn cazul în care alăptarea se întrerupe spontan, la copil apare un complex de separare, pierdere, care poate să îl însoţească întreaga viaţă. E o formă de comportament care face rău atât persoanei, cât şi celor din jur. În schimb, mama e prezentă alături de copil, îi oferă afecţiune, blândeţe, atenţie, adică mama nu dispare din viaţa copilului. „Dacă încetarea alăptatului se face pas cu pas, copilul nu este traumatizat, el nici nu înţelege acest lucru. Înţărcatul se face la un an jumătate-doi, când copilul a primit deja tot de ce a avut nevoie”, subliniază psihologul, care este și specialist în logopedie.

„Ideea mea a fost susţinută doar de tatăl meu, care a crezut în mine din prima zi. Pentru el, totul a început cu importul de spirulină vie congelată din Ucraina în Republica Moldova. Anul 2020 este primul în care spirulina Spacefood a ajuns în România, iar în primul trimestru cifra de afaceri a fost de 100.000 de lei (21.000 de euro), cu un număr de cinci angajaţi. Anul 2020 a pus afacerile mici sub o presiune enormă, iar David Marius spune că a resimţit acest lucru. Cum însă oamenii îşi apleacă atenţia tot mai mult asupra întăririi imunităţii, el rămâne optimist pentru viitorul businessului său.

Am comandat o supă Tom Yum, un wok cu carne de porc și legume și o porție de carne de vită în stil thailandez. Tom Yum cu creveți (350 ml – 75 MDL)Am numărat în meniu șase tipuri de Tom Yum: cu carne de pui, cu creveți, Vega etc. Vă zic din start că nu veți mânca aici cel mai bun Tom Yum din viața voastră, însă pentru un local de tip fast-food este acceptabil. Tom Yum-ul de la Chi Wok este cam sărăcăcios, a doua oară nu cred că am să vreau să-l comand. Mi-a plăcut atât de mult, încât sunt motivat să-mi cumpăr un wok și să experimentez acasă.

Ultima vizită a fost „memorabilă”, am mâncat atunci un tenderloin steak și kare de vițel, care au fost absolut dezgustătoare, la fel ca atitudinea chelnerului. Recent, am văzut pe pagina de Instagram a localului că a fost schimbat designul sălii principale, noul look fiind semnat de Evghenii Arutin, un nume cunoscut în oraș. Supa servită la OSHO a fost abia călduță, nu avea textura cremoasă la care mă așteptam. Chelnerul mi-a recomandat să încerc un desert nou care nu a fost introdus deocamdată în meniu.

The top management consulting firms — which include McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain & Company, and Accenture — are notoriously tough to break into. Insider asked Smith and two other recruiters for management consulting on their top tips for breaking into the ranks of McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Accenture. "We've noticed that more consulting firms are expanding beyond MBA degrees and into other advanced degrees to fill their post-graduate classes." Stokes added that candidates can leverage the international piece of the tripod by keeping in mind that McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Accenture have offices worldwide.
