From 51% on November 16 last year, the second-dose coverage in the State shot up to cross 80% on January 6 this year. It took over a month to cover another 10% and cross 90% by February 10.

Kim Kardashian’s trainer responds to criticism about her 16-pound weight loss to fit in Met Gala gown
Kim Kardashian ’s trainer, Don-A-Matrix, has addressed some of the backlash that the reality star received after claiming she lost 16 pounds to fit into her Met Gala gown. On Monday evening, Kardashian arrived at the Met Gala in a beige floor-length gown previously worn by Marilyn Monore in 1962 when she sang to President John F Kennedy on his 45th birthday. While speaking to Vogue on the red carpet, she claimed that she lost 16 pounds in three weeks, and didn’t eat any “carbs or sugar,” in order to fit into the 60-year-old gown. Since the event, the 41-year-old model has faced criticism over her comments, with many condemning the Skims founder for the restrictive diet, which also saw her wear a sauna suit. Lili Reinhart was among those criticising Kardashian, with the Riverdale star expressing her disapproval on Instagram, where she called the reality star’s diet “so wrong” and “so f**ked on 100s of levels”.

Oklahoma abortions set to be felonies after Governor Kevin Stitt signs bill
Performing an abortion will be a felony in Oklahoma once a bill signed into law Tuesday by Governor Kevin Stitt takes effect in August after it passed through the state House last week. The new law would put medical professionals who perform abortions at risk of being charged with a felony and possibly facing up to 10 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines. The only exception provided in the bill is for abortions performed because the pregnancy threatens the life of the mother. Dozens of states have introduced or passed bills placing restrictions on abortion ahead of a highly anticipated Supreme Court ruling in a suit fighting a Mississippi abortion ban that some have warned could significantly alter or overturn the legal precedent set by Roe v. Wade in 1973. The new Oklahoma law has been condemned by reproductive rights groups and Democratic lawmakers, with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki saying in a statement that the "unconstitutional attack on women's … [Read more...] about Oklahoma abortions set to be felonies after Governor Kevin Stitt signs bill
Amber Heard Says Bed Feces Wasn’t Hers, Belonged to Yorkshire Terrier
Amber Heard took the witness stand again on Monday in her defense testimony and stated that the feces in her and ex-husband Johnny Depp 's bed was their dogs, not hers.

During her defense testimony on Monday, Heard stated that it was actually Depp's Yorkshire Terrier named Boo that had left feces on the bed. Heard stated that in 2016, while she and her friend were preparing to leave for the Coachella music festival, they left the dogs on the bed. When asked if she had committed any kind of "prank," Heard replied, "Absolutely not." "First of all, I don't think that's funny. I don't know what grown woman does find that funny," she added.

Amber Heard’s rep says truth “not on Johnny Depp’s side” as trial resumes
Amber Heard's spokesperson has said that "truth is not on [Johnny] Depp's side," ahead of the former couple returning to court for their defamation trial . All eyes have been on the Hollywood stars amid their trial, after Depp, 58, sued Heard, 36, for $50 million after she wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post in 2018 stating that she was a survivor of domestic abuse. Depp was never mentioned by name, but his legal team argue that the insinuation has caused a sullied reputation and a huge loss of earnings for the actor. Heard has made a counterclaim against Depp for $100 million. In the hours leading up to their return to Virginia's Fairfax County Circuit Court on Monday, a spokesperson for Heard told Newsweek they're anticipating Depp's team will put on a courtroom display that's "equal parts shameful and desperate."

Inflation tides turn fishing a costly affair
Jomon last ventured into the sea on April 19, only to return with a meagre catch. His traditional craft requires over 100 litres of kerosene for a single trip and the sharp rise in fuel prices has forced him to keep it beached. “We decided to stay off waters when the kerosene price hit ₹124. With the dip in catch, it is a double whammy for the traditional sector,” he says. Though they are supposed to work closer to shore, the lean stock in territorial waters often drive the fishers beyond 12 nautical miles. “Going deeper means extra kerosene that has become costlier than petrol. Of late, we have been facing a drought-like situation and a steep decline in catch. Nowadays, our daily operating coast outweighs the returns by a considerable margin and if the situation doesn’t change, we will have to look for new livelihood options. We have been fishers for generations and we have never felt so desperate,” he says. Sugunan, an inland fisher from Thekkum Bhagam, says he has been facing an … [Read more...] about Inflation tides turn fishing a costly affair

Opinion | Gyanvapi: Fading Minorityism in India and Zealots’ Last Stand
Turning on the news these days usually entails listening to shrieking voices over the Gyanvapi Mandir in Kashi. The mosque’s name is said to have come from an adjacent well, known as the Gyanvapi or the Well of Knowledge. The fact that it — ostensibly — is the only mosque in the world with a Sanskrit name eschews human logic, but it is what it is! The present-day debate over the Gyanvapi temple is not the first. Since 1194, the masjid has been a bone of contention. The so-called ‘flag-bearers’ of Nehruvian secularism, the ‘devotees’ of the Constitution and the ‘believers’ of Islam, especially the ‘chieftains’ — the clerics and ulema — have been caught on the wrong foot this time. Part of this trepidation arises from the fear of losing the VETO they have enjoyed hitherto. Part of this nervousness comes from the fact that the Constitution is being followed verbatim, upholding its true spirit — with no compromises. Using acrimonious and obscene language on national television no longer … [Read more...] about Opinion | Gyanvapi: Fading Minorityism in India and Zealots’ Last Stand
