Suspicions in the science fiction community have been building for weeks that something was amiss with last year’s awards, which rotate to a different city each year, and in 2023 were hosted in Chengdu, China. What are the Hugo Awards? The awards, first established in 1953, are given annually at a gathering hosted by the World Science Fiction Convention. Writers are nominated and awarded prizes by members of the World Science Fiction Society, which includes science fiction fans. In January, the Hugo Awards revealed which writers had been nominated for last year’s awards, and by how many people.

REUTERS/Remo Casilli/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsVATICAN CITY, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Pope Francis has removed some of the Vatican privileges of conservative American Cardinal Raymond Burke, including a large subsidized apartment and his salary, a senior Vatican official said on Tuesday. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, participated in a regular Vatican meeting when the pope made the announcement to senior aides last week. Burke has had no senior Vatican job for years. On Nov. 11, the pope dismissed another conservative critic, Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, after Strickland refused to step down following a Vatican investigation. Most recently, in October, Burke was one of five cardinals who openly challenged a global month-long Vatican meeting, known as a synod.

Marianna Budanova is the wife of Kyrylo Budanov, who heads Ukrainian military intelligence agency GUR, which has been prominently involved in clandestine operations against Russian forces throughout the 21-month war. In Russian media he is a hate figure. Ukraine's military intelligence and domestic security services did not respond to requests for comment. Russian media has reported that a court in Moscow had arrested Budanov in absentia in April on terrorism charges.

Rarely in recent times has a Vatican gathering generated as much hope, hype and fear as this three-week, closed-door meeting, known as a synod. But it nevertheless has drawn an acute battle line in the church’s perennial left-right divide and marks a defining moment for Francis and his reform agenda. Even before it started, the gathering was historic because Francis decided to let women and laypeople vote alongside bishops in any final document produced. While they have secured some high-profile positions in the Vatican and local churches around the globe, the male hierarchy still runs the show. Asked specifically about church blessings for same-sex unions, Francis suggested they could be allowed as long as such benedictions aren’t confused with sacramental marriage.

Some bloggers are also using the platform to criticize Russian military mistakes. The presence of Russian influencers on the frontline has at times provided crucial intel on the situation in the war, showing what it's like in the Russian trenches. But some bloggers have taken to using the platform to voice criticism about military blunders and setbacks.

Sept 3 (Reuters) - A non-residential building in the western Russian city of Kurchatov caught fire on Sunday after an attack by a Ukrainian drone but emergency services put the fire out and there were no casualties, Roman Starovoit, governor of the Kursk region, said. In a post on the Telegram messaging app, Starovoit did not say which building was affected. Ukraine's Babel online outlet quoted an unnamed source as saying a drone hit a building belonging to the FSB security service. Starovoit also blamed a Ukrainian drone for damage to a building facade in Kurchatov on Sept. 1. Kurchatov is home to one of Russia's biggest nuclear plants, but there were no reports it was affected in either incident.

☆ Searching for the ‘People’s Spelling Alphabet’
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-28 | by ( Sam Corbin | More About Sam Corbin | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Phonetic alphabets, also known as spelling alphabets, came to prominence on the global stage in the mid-20th century, as world wars made urgent the need for clear, quick and secretive communication among Allied forces. The NATO Alphabet we know today (which begins with Alfa, Bravo, Charlie) was adopted officially in 1956 by the International Civil Aviation Organization, after earlier iterations such as the Able Baker alphabet proved inadequate. In a version used briefly by the British Royal Army, the spelling alphabet begins with Ack, Beer, which is what I say when I realize I’ve shown up empty-handed to a party. The NATO alphabet remains ubiquitous in ceremony — it comes up often in The New York Times’s crossword entries — but in practice, it’s somewhat niche. When was the last time you clarified the letter “Y” by saying “Yankee” instead of something like “yellow” or “yes”?

SAO PAULO, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Tuesday he wanted Argentina to join the BRICS group of emerging countries, as Brazil's neighbor struggles with a lack of foreign reserves. "It is very important for Argentina to be in BRICS," Lula said in a live broadcast on social media as he attends the bloc's summit in South Africa. Argentina, whose largest trade partner is Brazil, has previously said it intended to join the BRICS bloc. Lula also said he was in favor of other countries joining the alliance, mentioning Indonesia as a potential new member. "We do not want to be a counterpoint to the G7, G20 or the United States," Lula said.

To polyglots, foreign languages are Mount Everests daring us to climb them — a metaphor used by Hofstadter in his article. After all, despite the sincere and admirable efforts of foreign language teachers nationwide, fewer than one in 100 American students become proficient in a language they learned in school. Immersion programs, if begun early, can actually imprint a foreign language into a child’s brain. I know: A foreign language is a window into a new way of processing the world.

The companies were also asked what information they collect on minors. Last month, the subcommittee on oversight and investigations held a hearing with expert witnesses to examine "the role of data brokers in the digital economy."

Ukraine has won promises of Western battle tanks and is seeking fighter jets to push back against Russian and pro-Moscow forces, which are slowly advancing along part of the front line. Zelenskiy, speaking separately, said Ukraine wanted to preempt Russian attacks on Ukrainian urban areas and civilians. Earlier in the day, the Ukrainian air force denied a newspaper report that it intended to get 24 fighter jets from allies, saying talks were continuing, Ukraine's Babel online outlet said. He also told Ukrainian national television that allied nations did not like public speculation about jets, Interfax Ukraine news agency said. Germany's defence minister this week ruled out the idea of sending jets to Ukraine.

☆ ‘Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths’ Review: A Long Trek Through Dreamland

‘Tell a dream, lose a reader,” writing teachers say to their charges. But after you’ve won five Academy Awards, you may feel you’ve earned the right to luxuriate in your fancies. Mr. Iñárritu’s latest, “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” signals accurately in its title that it’s a heady dose of magical-realist arthouse cinema intended for serious filmgoers only. Yet it’s a dense, plotless, phantasmagorical swirl of memories, wishes and grudges, and so it demands full concentration in a theater. It is not best experienced from the lounge chair whose occupant may be distracted by the phone or the proximity of the kitchen.

Более 76% госпитализированных с COVID-19 страдают от последствий спустя 6 месяцев после выписки и имеют хотя бы один симптом коронавируса. Об этом свидетельствуют данные крупного китайского исследования, в котором принимали участие 1 733 пациента из Уханя. Пациенты, средний возраст которых составлял 57 лет, проходили лабораторные тесты и опросы в период с июня по сентябрь 2020 года. Кроме этого, исследования показали, что почти у всех пациентов из контрольной группы спустя 6 месяцев уровень антител в крови упал на 52,5%. Ученые из Йельского университета США считают, что именно аутоиммунные процессы отвечают за длительные симптомы, которые выявляют у пациентов, уже выздоровевших от инфекции.

На берег острова Чатем в Тихом океане выбросились 125 китов — 97 из них погибли сразу, 28 решили усыпить из-за сложных морских условий. Чатем относится к Новой Зеландии, но расположен в 800 километрах к востоку от крупных островов, поэтому миссия по спасению животных задержалась. Он рассказал, что когда животные выбросились на берег, власти приказали всем дайверам выйти из воды из-за повышенного риска появления больших белых акул. В среднем на пляжи Новой Зеландии ежегодно выбрасываются более 300 дельфинов и китов. По сообщениям местных жителей, каждый раз растет количество животных, которые выбросились на берег, и число погибших.
