He also said that the medical sector still uses floppy disks. And then there's "hobbyists," who want to "buy ten, 20, or maybe 50 floppy disks." Floppy disks made news recently when Japan's digital minister, Taro Kano, declared "a war" on the devices, tweeting earlier this month that Japan's digital agency would change regulations requiring businesses to use floppy disks and CDs, instead shifting to online services.

Groups representing big rail shippers said Thursday’s tentative railroad-labor contract avoids potential turmoil in their supply chains and they are hoping for rapid ratification by union members to fully ease the labor tensions. “We are relieved and cautiously optimistic that this devastating nationwide rail strike has been averted,” said National Retail Federation President and Chief Executive Matthew Shay. The tentative deal must now be ratified by members of the various unions covered by the contracts. The deal, which is retroactive to 2019, includes a 14.1% wage increase upon ratification. Still, the agreement may help improve rail service in operations that have been hit by capacity and staffing shortages, he wrote.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday. Vice President Harris said she's concerned the court now will target birth control and same-sex marriage. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas "just said the quiet part out loud," Harris added, when he wrote in a concurring opinion that the court should reconsider rulings on contraception and same-sex marriage. On Friday, the conservative majority of the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to uphold a Mississippi ban on abortion after 15 weeks in Dobbs v. Jackson. Thomas was alone in openly calling for other rights to get another look by the Supreme Court.
☆ Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, undoing nearly 50 years of legalized abortion nationwide

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion across the US. "For millions of women, Roe and Casey have been critical in giving them control of their bodies and their lives. President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders across the nation swiftly condemned the Supreme Court's ruling on Friday, while Republicans celebrated it. An increased police presence has gathered in Washington, DC, in response to protests outside the Supreme Court. However, legal experts say those are likely to fail, given the Supreme Court has handed off abortion decision-making to the states.

Despite that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback led the league in regular season passing yards, completions and touchdown passes. And he was the starting quarterback in four of the past six Super Bowls, bagging three Lombardi Trophies in that span. At the game Brady attended, Ronaldo became the highest scorer in FIFA history after netting his 807th career goal. Not everyone is brimming with the baseline talents of James or Brady or has the discipline or resources to stick with such regimens. With time, this may radically alter how athletes at all levels are nurtured, and even how nonathletes fend off the crippling effects of age.
☆ Why is Friday the 13th unlucky? The cultural origins of an enduring superstition
  + stars: | 2021-08-13 | by ( Christobel Hastings | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
There’s even a name to describe the irrational dread of the date: paraskevidekatriaphobia — a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a fear of the number 13. What we do know, though, is that both Friday and the number 13 have been regarded as unlucky in certain cultures throughout history. Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" popularized the erroneous theory this is the original of the Friday the 13th superstition. If we dig deeper, though, we also find evidence that both Fridays and the number 13 have long been regarded as a harbinger of good fortune. “Every time I’ve won an award I’ve been seated in either the 13th seat, the 13th row, the 13th section or row M, which is the 13th letter.

☆ O familie din Anglia a descoperit în propria grădină un tezaur din monede de aur, din vremea lui Henric al VIII-lea (FOTO)

Patru dintre monede poartă efigia lui Henric al VIII-lea şi, în mod curios, una dintre iniţialele a trei dintre soţiile sale: Caterina de Aragon, Anne Boleyn şi Jane Seymour. Probabil că tezaurul a fost îngropat de un negustor bogat sau de un membru al clerului, susţine şi John Naylor, expert în monede din cadrul Ashmolean Museum, aparţinând Universităţii Oxford. "A fost o perioadă, în anii 1530 şi 1540, când s-a produs Desfiinţarea Mănăstirilor şi ştim că unele biserici au încercat să-şi ascundă bogăţiile, sperând că astfel vor putea să le păstreze", a explicat el. Însă decizia de a grava iniţialele soţiilor lui Henric pe monede este fără precedent. Iar dacă ţinem cont de numeroasele căsătorii ale lui Henric al VIII-lea (6 în total), iniţialele de pe monede au fost schimbate frecvent.

Patru dintre monede poartă efigia lui Henric al VIII-lea şi, în mod curios, una dintre iniţialele a trei dintre soţiile sale: Caterina de Aragon, Anne Boleyn şi Jane Seymour. Familia care a descoperit tezaurul este din districtul New Forest din Hampshire în sud-estul Angliei, a anunţat British Museum, care conduce programul Portable Antiquities Scheme. „A fost o perioadă, în anii 1530 şi 1540, când s-a produs Desfiinţarea Mănăstirilor şi ştim că unele biserici au încercat să-şi ascundă bogăţiile, sperând că astfel vor putea să le păstreze”, a explicat el. Henric al VIII-lea a fost Rege al Angliei și Lord al Irlandei (titulatura de lord a fost abandonată după 1541, de atunci fiind adoptat titlul de rege și pentru Irlanda) între 1509 și 1547. Henric al VIII-lea este regele care a rupt Anglia de Biserica Catolică și a îndreptat-o spre protestantismul anglican, proces care a fost finalizat de fiul și fiica sa, regele Edward al VI-lea (1547-1553) și Elisabeta I (1558-1603).

☆ În unele zone din Europa nu mai auzi păsările. 80% din habitatele naturale ale Uniunii se degradează continuu

Distribuiti mai departe...80 la sută din habitatele naturale din Uniunea Europeană se degradează continuu, în ciuda eforturilor de conservare. Invitat la emisiunea În fața ta, un europarlamentar din grupul Verzilor susține că în anumite zone din Europa, pur și simplu nu mai auzi păsările. Thomas Waitz – deputat, Verzii europeni: “Ne confruntăm cu pierderi imense ale biodiversității în ceea ce privește insectele, dar și în ceea ce privește păsările. Totul este puternic legat de folosirea intensivă a pesticidelor, în special a neonicotinoidelor, care sunt folosite încă în România. Ameninţările cu care se confruntă natura sunt multiple: agricultură intensivă, urbanizare – asociată cu activităţi turistice şi de recreere -, exploatare non-durabilă a pădurilor, poluare.
