☆ G7 alarms climate activists over support for gas investments

The April meeting of G7 climate ministers eventually agreed, despite tussles between Japan and European nations, that gas investments "can be appropriate to help address potential market shortfalls" following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the disruption it has caused in global energy markets. Saturday's G7 leaders statement at their summit in Japan's Hiroshima changed the language - eventually formulated by Germany, sources say - to include gas investments again, with the G7 saying it was "necessary to accelerate the phase-out of our dependency on Russian energy". DEFENDING THE STANCEGerman government officials rejected that criticism, saying investments are needed to get away from Russian gas and find a replacement. The G7 pledged to achieve a net-zero emissions goal by 2050 and to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Max Lawson, head of inequality policy at activist group Oxfam, said the G7 had maintained a loophole for new fossil gas investments using the Russian military conflict with Ukraine "as an excuse."

Detective Troy Patterson’s body was slid into a waiting hearse on Friday, 33 years after he last patrolled the New York City streets. He was a 27-year-old officer then, and a prolific one. He specialized in gun crime at a time when New York was at its nadir: In 1990, there were 2,245 homicides, the highest recorded number in the city’s history. And on Jan. 16 of that year, Detective Patterson nearly became among the first victims. As he washed his Nissan Maxima near his home in Brooklyn, he was confronted by a small group of men.

[1/2] A man looks at Vermeer's painting 'The Milkmaid' at an exhibition bringing together 28 works by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer at the Rijksmusuem in Amsterdam, Netherlands February 6, 2023. REUTERS/Piroschka van de WouwAMSTERDAM, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Twenty eight paintings by Johannes Vermeer go on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam this week, the largest ever exhibition of works of the 17th-century Dutch master, known for his expertise at rendering light and intimate household scenes. "What's quite striking when you look at Vermeer is that in his paintings, it's mostly women who are the protagonists," said curator Pieter Roelofs, noting Vermeer had seven daughters. Artists and scholars dispute whether Vermeer may have made use of a 'camera obscura', a forerunner of the modern photocamera. Roelofs said Vermeer's works are more than something a good eye and skilled hand can create.

☆ Anxious Twitter users find few alternatives to platform after Musk deal closes
  + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Jennifer Korn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
But with few obvious alternatives, Twitter users may be left with nowhere else to go. Other platforms, like Mastodon, have promised a more decentralized social media experience. “Excited to see what you accomplish here,” retired basketball star Shaquille O’Neill tweeted at Musk on Wednesday ahead of the deal closing. Musk has said he would restore Trump’s Twitter account, though Trump has previously said he would remain on Truth Social. By unbanning users and unwinding content moderation efforts, Musk could make Twitter less palatable for its most vulnerable users, typically women, members of the LGBTQ community, and people of color, according to safety experts.

The late monarch's horses won more than 1,800 races and her annual presence at Royal Ascot and the Epsom Derby reflected a deep personal interest as much as carrying out royal duty.

Nicky Henderson, another royal trainer, also told the Racing Post how the queen had watched one of her horses win a race on television. The queen's horses won all the British classics with the exception of the Derby, the most prestigious of all. Queen Elizabeth attended every edition of the Royal Windsor Horse Show since its inception 79 years ago, including in May.
