Loewe presents a dystopian future at Paris Fashion Week
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 15 PARIS (AP) — Loewe thrust Paris Fashion Week into a bleak and dystopian vision of the future on Saturday -- turning its runway into a dead space where nature and animal life only existed to be harnessed and exploited by humankind. A sanitized white wall descended onto a bare deck as models walked by robotically, bathed in misty white light. Here are some highlights of spring-summer 2023 menswear collections: LOEWE'S NATURE MORTE Models wore plates of television screens showing deep water fish in the ocean, and plasma screen visors beamed out growing chrysanthemums.

Jamie Lee Curtis says she wants to get rid of term ‘anti-ageing’: ‘I want to age with intelligence’
Jamie Lee Curtis has spoken candidly about the beauty of ageing and how she wants the word “anti-ageing” to be eliminated entirely. Curtis discussed how she feels about getting older with Maria Shriver for the Radically Reframing Ageing Summit , presented by Sounds True and Shriver Media, earlier this month. The actor revealed that she supports “ageing” and “natural beauty,” and hopes that the term “anti-ageing” could cease to exist. “I am an advocate now for natural beauty because I do feel that there has been a genocide on natural beauty,” she explained. “This word ‘anti-ageing’ has to be struck, because what the f*** is ‘anti-ageing?’” “I am pro-ageing,” she added. “I want to age with intelligence and grace and dignity and verve and energy. I don’t want to hide from it.” Recommended Jamie Lee Curtis expresses support for Ukraine refugees on Oscars red carpet and pays tribute to Betty White Jamie Lee Curtis says she’s ‘never felt … [Read more...] about Jamie Lee Curtis says she wants to get rid of term ‘anti-ageing’: ‘I want to age with intelligence’
Supreme Court “misleadingly quotes me” in abortion ruling: Law professor
Laurence Tribe, a Harvard professor of constitutional law, accused the conservative Supreme Court majority of "misleadingly" utilizing his quotes in its controversial Friday decision to overturn Roe v. Wade . Conservative Associate Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization . The ruling in that case brought an end to nearly five decades of Supreme Court precedent —overturning the landmark 1973 Roe decision and bringing an end to woman's constitutionally protected right to an abortion. "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences," Alito argued in his opinion. Four of the top court's justices concurred with Alito's opinion , while Chief Justice John Roberts concurred with upholding the 15-week abortion ban of Dobbs , but took issue with fully overturning Roe . The Court's three liberal justices together issued a dissenting … [Read more...] about Supreme Court “misleadingly quotes me” in abortion ruling: Law professor

She was too sick to make her wedding, so hospital staff brought it to her
Maria Isabel Cipple Leon, a cancer patient at UNC Hospitals in Charlotte, the United States, was supposed to get married in a wedding at her church earlier this month. But when it became unclear if she would be healthy enough to leave the intensive care unit, her medical team and UNC’s chaplain’s office rallied together in under a week to put on a wedding at the hospital’s own chapel. A medical student on her team brought a cake. Residents brought a bouquet of flowers, which they used to decorate the bride’s wheelchair. The physical therapy team and the bride’s nurses helped her, with all her lines and tubes, into a wedding dress. The chaplain’s office coordinated with her pastor on scheduling, paperwork and logistics. Food Services made sure there were enough cupcakes to go around. The result was a true wedding ceremony — one that surrounded the couple with family, loved ones and medical staff who had cared for the bride, and that enveloped the hospital in a kind of joy and love … [Read more...] about She was too sick to make her wedding, so hospital staff brought it to her
‘Falls Short But Will Save Lives’: US President Biden Signs First Significant Gun Control Law in Decades
United States President Joe Biden on Saturday signed into law the first significant federal bill on gun safety in decades, saying while it falls short of what’s really needed it will “save lives”. “While this bill doesn’t do everything I want, it does include actions I’ve long called for that are going to save lives,” he said at the White House before leaving for two major diplomatic summits in Europe. The gun legislation includes enhanced background checks for younger buyers and federal cash for states introducing “red flag” laws that allow courts to temporarily remove weapons from those considered a threat. Billions of dollars have been allocated to crack down on “straw purchasers” who buy firearms for people not allowed to own them, and to curb gun trafficking. However, much tougher measures wanted by Biden and other Democrats did not make it in, including a ban on military style rifles often used by the lone gunmen who typically carry out mass shootings. Also absent is a … [Read more...] about ‘Falls Short But Will Save Lives’: US President Biden Signs First Significant Gun Control Law in Decades
Largest ever snake weighing 98kg and reaching 18ft captured with 122 eggs in belly
A whopping 98kg python has been caught in Florida - believed to be the biggest in the state's history. Experts caught the 18-foot female in December 2021, after using a male like a "magnet" to track it down. The Burmese python was discovered in the Everglades, where biologists wrestled with it for 20 minutes. The snake was eventually captured and killed, before being put in a freezer for several months. It is estimated that she was up to 20 years old when caught, and was the approximate height of a giraffe if stretched out vertically. Pythons have become pests in Florida as invasive snakes with no major predators, out-competing native species. The beast was approximately the size of a giraffe if spread vertically ( Image: SWNS) Wildlife biologist Ian Bartoszek said: "This season we tracked a male scout snake to a region of the western Everglades that he frequented for several weeks. "We knew he was there for a reason, and the team found him with the … [Read more...] about Largest ever snake weighing 98kg and reaching 18ft captured with 122 eggs in belly
