Click here to read the full article. Pallavi Sharda didn’t have to look far to get into character for “ Wedding Season .” The Australian actor and dancer stars in the Netflix rom-com as Asha, a New Jersey-raised attorney being pressured by her Indian parents to find a man and get married. To get them off her back, she convinces one of her set-ups (Suraj Sharma) to pretend that they’re dating during a summer wedding season. “When I read the script, I just thought, ‘I know this story,’” says Sharda, who is best known for her Bollywood career and television work in Australia. “I know this woman. I have friends that are this woman. I have family who grew up in Jersey, like a lot of my cousins are from this part of the world. And my grandparents migrated to the U.S. in the 1980s. All of my maternal cousins are Indian Americans.” More from Variety 'Prey' Star Amber Midthunder Auditioned for the 'Predator' Film in English and Comanche 'Wedding Season' Review: Two … [Read more...] about ‘Wedding Season’ Star Pallavi Sharda on Why She Left Her Native Australia for a Bollywood Career

An invasive species of feral pig could be helping to save Australia's native crocodiles. The saltwater crocodile has called Australia home for millions of years, but came close to extinction in the 1970s. Meanwhile, a species of feral pig arrived Down Under with European settlers in the 1700s - with recent estimates suggesting there are 24 million across the country. Feral pigs thrive in Australian wetlands and swamps - particularly in the north of the country - and have now spread across 40 per cent of Australia's land mass. Scientists blamed them for widespread habitat loss and for Australia having the world’s highest rate of mammal extinctions, the New York Times reports . But because they are the saltwater crocodiles' primary source of prey, the invasive pig species is being credited by some scientists for its increase in population.

The cat's claw vines tumble from the rooftop of an abandoned house, grabbing onto every inch of what's left of this Victorian cottage in the Tremé neighborhood. The ruined shell is a remnant of Hurricane Katrina, but this heavy, humid day with portents of a thunderstorm in the air isn't a few months after the storm, or even a few years. It's been a decade. In July, I rode with David Spielman, a lean, 65-year-old freelance photographer with intense blue eyes, through neighborhoods that still bear the savage marks of the storm. The car bumps over roads so rutted and broken they threaten to destroy axles and pose grave risks to shock absorbers. Spielman has roamed the city ever since the storm hit, shooting more than 10,000 images of the post-Katrina world. "This is a struggle that many, many areas of the city will continue to go through for a very long time," he says. His work depicts the havoc that Katrina wrought and what the city, despite the tens of billions of dollars in aid, … [Read more...] about On Hurricane Katrina’s 10th Anniversary, Half of New Orleans Remains in Ruins

WHEN, a few years ago, the generosity of Mr. Alfred Mosely sent several English teachers on a tour in the United States, an American teacher contributed to a New York paper her impressions of those visitors whom chance had led to her own school. Her ungrudging tribute to their various excellent qualities reached a climax in her exclamation of delighted surprise: ‘So different from the teachers in Dickens!’ The discovery that Mr. Squeers is scarcely a type of the present-day English schoolmaster and that the methods of Dotheboys Hall do not fairly represent modern English pedagogics may appear somewhat belated. But one cannot very well describe this school-teacher’s mental attitude as exceptional, when one remembers how many people, otherwise well-informed, still derive from the same source their ideas about foreign missions and foreign missionaries. By many intelligent persons Mrs. Jellyby’s projects for the enlightenment of Borrioboola-Gha are taken as representing the real character … [Read more...] about The New Missionary Outlook

TOWAOC — The night she lost her teenage cousin to suicide, a boy she considered her brother, Cheyenne Hayes thought her mind was going crazy. As the Ute Mountain Ute tribal community mourned the deaths of two middle school boys — Andrew William Cuch Jr., 14, and Jeit Redrock Height, 15 —  on the same January night, Hayes and her friends grieved. She could hear her friends’ pain as they spoke about their own lives. Hayes found her own mind traveling down a similarly dark road. “I told myself I couldn’t go down the same path my brother went down,” Hayes said. “Because that wouldn’t solve anything.” But as the 17-year-old counseled her struggling friends, she scoffed at the idea of seeing a therapist. Most of her friends felt the same way. And the few who did seek help said the professional didn’t understand what they were going through. “I already know what to do on my own,” Hayes said.

Logs and debris hurtle past as dusk looms. Sixty-one-year-old Tahi Nepia is calmly paddling his outrigger canoe, called a waka ama in his Indigenous Māori language, as it is buffeted from side to side. Before venturing out, he makes sure to first ask permission from his ancestors in a prayer, or karakia. It's the top item on his safety list. He says his ancestors inhabit the river and each time he dips his paddle into the water he touches them. “You are giving them a mihimihi, you are giving them a … [Read more...] about New Zealand river’s personhood status offers hope to Māori

GUWAHATI Thousands of people took to the streets across Nagaland on Friday, to demand a speedy settlement of the prolonged “Naga political issue”, and remind Prime Minister Narendra Modi of his promise of lasting peace and development. All towns and villages in Nagaland shut down for two hours, mobilised by Nagaland People’s Action Committee (NPAC), to convey to New Delhi as to how the non-settlement of the political issue, has adversely impacted the Nagas. The State has been facing this problem for the past seven decades. Friday’s rally followed calls for the suspension of the “Opposition-less” 60-member Nagaland Assembly and the resignation of all the MLAs, ahead of the State elections, by February-March 2023.

Venture into Presidio Tunnel Tops — the $118 million, 14-acre extravaganza that opens Sunday — and San Francisco’s international icon is on full view each step of your journey to Veterans Overlook, where the pathway widens to 16 feet and there’s an undulating biomorphic bench crafted from cypress trees that once grew nearby. Stroll the trail that flows through Battery Bluff , which opened in April a quarter-mile to the west along Lincoln Boulevard, and you encounter the tree-framed vista almost by surprise, plus a terrace-like overlook where you can relax while savoring the postcard-worthy view. Each vista is a knockout. Your preference for one or the other could depend on how you feel that day. And that’s true … [Read more...] about S.F.’s Tunnel Tops park is open.
