President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the Vatican on Tuesday (6 June) to contribute to the implementation of a Ukrainian peace plan during talks with a Papal envoy about Russia's war on Ukraine.Italian Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, tasked by Pope Francis to carry out a peace mission to try to help end the war in Ukraine, visited Kyiv to sound out the Ukrainian authorities.Zelenskyy said they discussed the situation in Ukraine and humanitarian cooperation "in the framework of the Ukrainian Peace Formula.""Only united efforts, diplomatic isolation and pressure on Russia can influence the aggressor and bring a just peace to the Ukrainian land," Zelenskiy wrote on the Telegram messaging app."I call on the Holy See to contribute to the implementation of the Ukrainian peace plan. Ukraine welcomes the readiness of other states and partners to find ways to peace, but since the war is on our territory, the algorithm for achieving peace can be Ukrainian only."Zelenskyy met the pope at the Vatican in M...Work and play with flex space

Among the many lessons of the pandemic were those from which families gleaned ways to live together, share space without tripping over each other and hopefully still get along.Now that we’re three years past the start of stay-at-home mandates, certain aspects of pandemic-style living have grown on many people. Namely, that everyone needs their own space at home and that they’re not willing to give it up just because people are no longer required to stay home all the time.Builders anticipated this scenario when planning home designs for construction from 2021 onward. In doing so, the already growing popularity of flex space gained new importance.Now, flex space in new construction homes not only refers to rooms or spaces that the homeowner can define on their own, but to rooms and spaces that can serve multiple purposes simultaneously and with ease.For some new-home buyers, flexibility means having space for two or more home offices plus a playroom or recreation room that both kids a...Bridge: June 8, 2023

“It finally happened,” Unlucky Louie exulted in the club lounge. “Harlow’s luck ran out.”While Louie labors under a cloud of unending bad luck, the player we call Harlow the Halo is fortune’s favorite son. His finesses always win and his errors never cost.“In a team match,” Louie told me, “Harlow and I both played at four hearts, and West led the jack of trumps. The Halo took the K-A and next led a club from dummy. For once, his inspiration failed him: He played the jack. West took the queen and led a club to East’s ace, and they also got a trump and a spade.”BETTER PLAYLouie found a better play. He won the first trump in dummy and immediately led a spade to his jack. West won and returned a spade to Louie’s ace. Louie then cashed the king of trumps and, when East discarded, started the diamonds. Eventually, he threw West in with his trump trick to lead a club or concede a ruff-sluff. Making four.“I guess ...Graham: Fiscal Q4 Earnings Snapshot

WASHINGTON (AP) — As it pushes to renew a cornerstone law that authorizes major surveillance programs, the Biden administration faces an American public that’s broadly skeptical of common intelligence practices and of the need to sacrifice civil liberties for security. Congress in the coming months will debate whether to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Section 702 authorizes U.S. spy agencies to collect large amounts of foreign communications for intelligence purposes ranging from stopping spies to listening in on allies and foes. Those collection programs also sweep up U.S. citizen communications that can then be searched by intelligence and law enforcement officers.The new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that Democrats and Republicans have similar views on surveillance tactics, while Republicans have become substantially less likely over the last decade to say it’s at least sometimes necessar...Declan Rice set to leave West Ham after winning European trophy, club chairman says

(CNN) — A salmonella outbreak that was linked to Gold Medal flour is over, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday. However, consumers should still make sure they don’t have any recalled bags of flour at home.In late April, General Mills recalled certain 2-, 5- and 10-pound bags of Gold Medal Bleached and Unbleached All-Purpose Flour with use-by dates of March 27 and 28, 2024. The CDC says data showed that some Gold Medal flour was contaminated with Salmonella infantis bacteria that was responsible for at least 14 infections in 13 states. Nearly all of the patients interviewed reported eating raw dough or batter, and all of those who recalled the flour brand identified Gold Medal.A US Food and Drug Administration investigation identified a single production facility for the flour that the sick people used, and an inspection of the General Mills facility in Kansas City, Missouri, turned up a sample with the outbreak strain of the bacteria.“Although this outbr...Latest news
