The Ohio advocates knew from focus-group testing that they would have to address the misgivings that many voters have about “abortion on demand,” as groups that oppose abortion put it. “There are some concerns even among pro-choice voters about abortion being used as birth control,” says Angela Kuefler, a partner at Global Strategy Group, which has run message testing for campaigns in several states. Mason, an affluent suburb north of Cincinnati, is in Warren County, which Donald Trump won with nearly two-thirds of the vote in 2020. On a weekend in June, Jeni Keeler, who is 46 and owns a small communications business, met up with volunteers from Mason outside a small clubhouse. The candidates she and her friends backed succeeded that November, creating a new majority to repeal the ordinance.

☆ How America fell out of love with ice cream

Ice cream is “the ultimate comfort food.”Drinkers swapped a pint for a scoop, and for ice cream makers, Prohibition was a boon. “In fact they say that the ice cream business is bound to increase in volume from year to year as more people are using ice cream since the coming in of nation-wide prohibition and the going out of the saloon.”The interest in ice cream continued in World War II, buoyed by the government’s use of the frozen dessert to help boost morale. Margaret Bourke-White/The LIFE Picture Collection/Shutterstock“We built pop-up ice cream factories on the front lines, delivered individual ice cream cartons to foxholes and spent more than a million dollars on a floating ice cream barge that patrolled the Pacific delivering ice cream,” Siegel said. Scoops of Falooda ice cream are placed on top Blueberry Lavender ice cream at Pints of Joy in Sunnyvale, California. Today, she teaches aspiring ice cream entrepreneurs how to make ice cream.

Her mother Sarah — a former deli shop owner — was bored with retirement and had decided to open an ice cream shop in Bethesda, Maryland. "To be honest, at first I was like, 'ice cream shop?'" Running the ice cream shopDespite Sarah's Handmade Ice Cream successful grand opening, it took over six months for the business to become "a well-oiled machine," Park says. Instead, Park and her mother donate ice cream to local nonprofits and community organizations, which has attracted loyal customers in the Bethesda area. Within a few months of opening the first store, Park realized the business didn't have to be limited to just "a mom-and-daughter shop."

☆ I tried the new Jeni's 'Ted Lasso' ice cream—here's my honest review

"Ted Lasso" has won multiple Emmy awards and Golden Globes for its first two seasons, but this month it's getting something new: an official ice cream flavor. The hit Apple TV+ series has partnered with Ohio-based Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams to put out a new limited edition flavor just in time for the premiere of the show's third season. CNBC Make It tried out the new ice cream ahead of its release. The collaboration has been in the works for about a year, representatives for Jeni's tell CNBC Make It, and it will be available at all Jeni's Scoop Shops. Customers who don't live near a scoop shop will be able to order the flavor off the Jeni's website for $12 per pint.

☆ I followed Nancy Pelosi's diet of breakfast ice cream and hot dogs for a week, and I ping-ponged between euphoria and the depths of despair
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Sophie Kleeman | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +22 min

My research found that Pelosi eats ice cream for breakfast, hot dogs for lunch, pasta, and chocolate. Chocolate ice cream for breakfast, rich and creamy pasta, and lots of snacking chocolate. She claims she does not exercise; her daughter once arrived home to find her mother eating chocolate ice cream while using a stationary bike. I save the ice cream for later to avoid a massive sugar crash and start out with a cup of black tea instead. However, I don't want to slack off after the ice cream episode, so I slather it on.

☆ Indoneziencele, supuse la presiuni din ce în ce mai mari pentru a purta hijab
▼ + stars: | 2021-03-18 | by ( Publika.Md - Aici Sunt Știrile | ) www.publika.md time to read: +2 min

Aceste presiuni sunt uneori exercitate asupra indoneziencelor creştine sau de alte religii şi "s-au amplificat substanţial în ultimii ani", potrivit raportului intitulat "Am vrut să fug: coduri vestimentare abuzive impuse femeilor şi fetelor din Indonezia".În această ţară cu cea mai mare populaţie musulmană din lume, Islamul nu este religie de stat. Protestantismul, catolicismul, hinduismul, budismul şi confucianismul sunt, de asemenea, recunoscute.Cu toate acestea, majoritatea şcolilor publice din arhipelagul de aproape 270 de milioane de locuitori, în special din provinciile predominant musulmane, solicită elevelor să poarte veşminte islamice începând cu şcoala primară.Şcolile publice recurg la "o combinaţie de presiuni psihologice, umilire publică şi pedepse pentru a convinge fetele să poarte hijab", se arată în raport.Această evoluţie este destul de recentă, în condiţiile în care în anii 1980, şcolile publice interziceau purtarea hijab-ului.Indonezia, unde 90% din populaţie este musulmană, era cunoscută pentru practicarea unui islam moderat, deschis către alte religii, însă în ultimele decenii ţara a cunoscut o amplificare a curentelor conservatoare, scrie agerpres.ro. Aproximativ 75% dintre femeile musulmane din Indonezia poartă hijab, potrivit unui studiu din 2019 realizat de Centrul de cercetare Alvara.La începutul acestui an, cazul lui Jeni Cahyani Hia, o elevă creştină din oraşul Padang (Sumatra), forţată de şcoala sa să poarte hijab, a reaprins dezbaterea.Fata a refuzat să poarte hijab, iar părinţii săi au înregistrat în secret o întrevedere în cadrul căreia un responsabil al şcolii susţinea că purtarea acestuia este obligatorie pentru toate elevele, indiferent de religie. Înregistrarea video a devenit virală pe reţelele sociale, iar şcoala a fost nevoită să îşi ceară scuze.Autorităţile indoneziene au reacţionat în februarie prin emiterea unui decret care interzicea şcolilor publice să-şi oblige elevele să poarte hijab-ul.Profesoarele şi funcţionarele din Indonezia sunt, de asemenea, constrânse să adopte îmbrăcămintea islamică, iar unele departamente guvernamentale avertizează vizitatoarele că trebuie să poarte hijab pentru a intra în sediul lor, a menţionat HRW.
