(CNN) — La tenista estadounidense Sloane Stephens, campeona del US Open 2017 y finalista del Abierto de Francia 2018, dice que el abuso racista dirigido hacia ella en redes sociales ha sido un problema durante toda su carrera tenística.“Nunca ha cesado. En todo caso, solo ha empeorado”, dijo Stephens, que es negra, a periodistas después de ganar 6-0 6-4 en la primera ronda del Abierto de Francia contra la cabeza de serie número 16 Karolina Pliskova este lunes.El Roland Garros anunció la semana pasada que el contenido de las redes sociales de los jugadores será moderado por una herramienta contra el acoso y la incitación al odio en Internet.“He oído hablar del programa.

Clothing is one of our most basic needs, along with food and shelter — but textiles are also important symbols of identity.In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, WTOP is spotlighting the significance of textiles in many Asian cultures — from the sacred thread in India to the appliqué designs of Hokkaido — and efforts in the D.C. area to help preserve these ancient art forms.Textiles are “usually the primary way that people communicate who they are,” said Lee Talbot, a curator at The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum. The Textile Museum, located in the Foggy Bottom area of D.C., is an almost 100-year-old institution focusing on handmade woven materials of non-Western peoples, including Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific islands.Its collection of some 25,000 textiles date back to 3,000 B.C. Talbot said the museum uses the collection as a way to introduce visitors to non-Western cultures.“...Woman arrested after driving slingshot erratically in Miami Beach

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 14:54:03 GMT
The sound of clanking pots and pans reverberates through the streets, echoing a vibrant tradition that is deeply rooted in the diverse culture of South Florida. It’s music to our ears because when the pots and pans come out, we know the Miami Heat cooked up another win, but where did the tradition originate from?This auditory spectacle, known as ‘cacerolazo’ in Latin American countries, has become a symbol of celebration and protest for the local community. From medieval France to the streets of Miami, the origin of this culinary symphony can be traced back to its historical significance.The concept of using pots and pans as instruments of protest dates back to medieval times in France. During that era, demonstrators would take to the streets, banging on their cookware to voice their discontent and demand change. Fast forward to modern times, and the pots and pans have become a powerful tool for social movements and expressions of unrest, like when the masses in Fr...Only 25% of sunscreens offer broad-spectrum protection without ‘troublesome’ ingredients, report says

(CNN) — Eeny, meeny, miny, moe — choosing a sunscreen for summer used to be child’s play. Today, market shelves are packed with dozens of options, each promising to be better than the others at protecting skin from the sun’s harmful rays.However, most sunscreen options contain one or more of a dozen chemicals the US Food and Drug Administration said should be researched by manufacturers before the ingredients can be considered GRASE or “generally regarded as safe and effective,” according to a new analysis.“We found only 25% of sunscreens on the market offer good broad-spectrum protection without troublesome chemical ingredients,” said Emily Spilman, Healthy Living Science program manager for the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit consumer advocacy group that has investigated sunscreen products for 17 years.This year’s report, entitled “EWG 17th Annual Guide to Safer Sunscreens,” was released Tuesday.The 2023 report has some good news too, for both people and the planet.

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 14:54:03 GMT
What a weekend we just had! Despite the chilly breeze yesterday, the weekend was a fantastic one overall featuring some nice outdoor activity weather, including that great beach day we had Sunday. The breeze today is still onshore, however, it won’t be as strong as yesterday. That means after the chilly start to the day, we’ll warm up nicely for a comfortable afternoon as highs head for the mid 60s at the coast to the low to mid 70s inland. A bit of haze will be in the sky (actually some smoke) from the Nova Scotia wildfires. That’ll filter the sun a bit at times, but overall, it’s another solid day. Dry weather prevails again tomorrow with temps warming back up into the low to mid 80s inland, 70s coast. We continue that warm-up into the end of the week as Thursday pushes up to near 90 inland, and likely low 90s Friday. While it’ll be hot inland, temps along the coast do run cooler with sea breezes as coastal temps push into the 70s to near 80.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s state-run news agency claimed Tuesday that international inspectors had closed off two lines of inquiry they had over Tehran’s nuclear program ahead of a scheduled quarterly report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog. The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, however, did not respond to questions over the report published by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency. Citing “knowledgeable sources,” IRNA said that the IAEA had closed off its inquiry over the recent discovery of traces of uranium enriched up to 83.7% purity. A quarterly IAEA report in March said inspectors found the particles in Iran’s underground Fordo nuclear site, further raising nonproliferation concerns as weapons-grade material is enriched to 90%.Iran had blamed “unintended fluctuations” for the discovery at Fordo nuclear site. The Islamic Republic has been producing uranium enriched to 60% purity — a level which nonproliferation experts say Tehran does n...Latest news
