▼ + stars: | 2024-03-27 | by ( Una Mullally | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

If there’s one thing Irish people know about President Biden, it’s that he’s one of us. “Today you are amongst friends because you are one of us,” the speaker of Parliament announced before Mr. Biden addressed Irish lawmakers. When Mr. Biden referred to the Irish rugby team beating “the Black and Tans” — the notoriously brutal 1920s police force — as opposed to the All Blacks, as New Zealand’s rugby team is known, the gaffe became an instant, affectionate meme. By the end of the trip, it was official: Mr. Biden loves Ireland, and Ireland loves Mr. Biden. Mr. Biden, as the leader of Israel’s closest ally and chief military supplier, was seen to be enabling the devastation.

CNN —Tom Bergeron revealed that there was a certain moment he knew his “Dancing with the Stars” job had come to an end. He told former “DWTS” pro Cheryl Burke on her “Sex, Lies and Spray Tans” podcast that his departure came down to politics. Bergeron said they agreed, but then when they told him who was cast, he was shocked. When Bergeron suggested he could take the season off, producers offered to let him out of his contract, leaving him “pissed off.”“That’s how strongly they felt,” Bergeron said. “So I wrote the statement that I wrote, that did not name anybody, that did not name a political party,” he said.

Today, with a sizable social media following and major campaigns for Zara and adidas under his belt, The Spanish King is one of the oldest working models in Europe. Celine van Heel began photographing her grandfather while staying with him during Covid-19 lockdowns. “His look, the way he looks at the camera — it’s simple, but it really defines him,” van Heel said of the image. Van Heel believes her grandfather is the perfect example of why no one should feel the need to act their age.

Hot pink made waves when Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli released her own iteration, called “Shocking pink,” in the mid-1930s. The original Barbie doll didn’t even wear pink when it first debuted in 1959, wearing, instead, a black and white chevron bathing suit. Barbie’s pink shades evolved over the years, and in 2008 the vibrant “Barbie Pink” became an official Pantone color. Gifty Walker, Joybird’s director of merchandising and sourcing in Los Angeles, noted that Joybird had a hot pink couch that was popular in 2016. Now hot pink is back and customers are using it to eschew traditional neutrals like grays, browns, and tans.

Despite spray tans and brief stints as a blonde, she could rarely convince producers to see her as the heroine, the nice girl. “That’s the journey of every brunette.”The joke came by way of a video call in early April from her home in North London. (She and her husband, the English actor Tom Riley, spend half the year there and the other half in Los Angeles.) Jesse Eisenberg, her co-star in the FX limited series “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” expressed a similar observation. “She has such an unusual, distinctive quality of world weariness and humor, jadedness, but also hopefulness,” he said in a phone interview.

☆ Black and Tans: Biden confuses All Blacks rugby team with brutal police force
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Sophie Tanno | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —President Joe Biden made a gaffe during his visit to Ireland on Wednesday as he confused a rugby team with a controversial 1920s-era British police force. Biden was speaking at the Windsor Bar in Dundalk, Ireland, when he appeared to mistake New Zealand’s All Blacks rugby team with the Black and Tans, a brutal force deployed against rebels during the Irish War of Independence. He received the Irish team tie after they won against New Zealand at Soldier Field in Chicago in November 2016. “See this tie I have, this shamrock tie?” Biden said. He personally called the Irish rugby union team to congratulate them when they defeated New Zealand at the Aviva Stadium in 2021.

Anul trecut, în mai 2020, nivelul înregistrat a fost de 417 ppm. ''În fiecare an adăugăm în atmosferă aproximativ 40 de miliarde de tone de poluare prin CO2'', a declarat Pieter Tans, om de ştiinţă în cadrul NOAA. ''Adică un munte de carbon pe care îl dezgropăm din Pământ, îl ardem şi îl eliberăm în atmosferă sub formă de CO2... an după an'', a adăugat el. CO2 persistă în atmosferă şi oceane mii de ani, a subliniat NOAA. ''În pofida deceniilor de negocieri, comunitatea mondială a fost incapabilă să încetinească într-o manieră semnificativă, ca să nu mai vorbim de inversare, creşterile anuale ale nivelului de CO2 din atmosferă'', a notat NOAA.

NOAA a mai concluzionat că nivelurile de metan, un alt gaz cu efect de seră, a crescut dramatic în 2020. „Analiza preliminară a NOAA a arătat că creșterea anuală de metan atmosferic pentru 2020 era de 14,7 părți per miliard (ppb).
