Ukrainian entrepreneur, Vadim Novynskyi has announced a donation of up to $1 million to help restore the Transfiguration Church in Odessa, Ukraine which was seriously damaged during rocket attacks on Sunday, July 23. The destruction of one of the most beautiful Ukrainian churches, which was erected by the founders of Odessa at the end of the 18th century is a true tragedy. This cathedral was the center of the spiritual life of Odessa.This is not the first time the church has been destroyed. In 1936, the Bolsheviks destroyed the cathedral and it was restored in the early 2000’s after tens of thousands of ordinary people participated in the restoration with their donations.“I sincerely mourn with the inhabitants of Odessa and I want to assure them and all the people of Ukraine that this cathedral will be rebuilt and the people of Odessa will once again be able to worship and seek community in this hallowed place,” said Vadim Novynskyi. “In the days of war and persecu...Word Game: July 27, 2023

Dear Amy: I’m going through a bit of a crisis. You see, shortly before my mother died of cancer last year, she kept a diary detailing in graphic detail about how awful I was and how hard it was dealing with my outbursts (which, I have to admit, were pretty brutal).I have autism, and while my own outbursts were definitely a factor, my mother dealt out her own verbal outbursts.Dad says he’s thinking of publishing her diary so that people know “what it’s really like.” Honestly, I don’t feel comfortable with this, but he says he “promised her on her deathbed” that he’d do this.Not only do I feel uncomfortable with him doing this, but a future employer could be taking a look at this.However, I’m terrified of confronting him because I’m concerned about his rebuttal. What should I do?AnonymousDear Anonymous: It might help if you wrote down your thoughts in the form of a letter.

Patches of snow dotted the ground when Canyon Mansfield stepped outside on March 16, 2017. The hill behind the 14-year-old’s home in Pocatello, Idaho, was not particularly large. At the summit, Mansfield would only be 300 yards from his house, and yet, he treasured the visits.With its sweeping mountain view, the hill was Canyon’s refuge. His 3-year-old yellow lab, Kasey, was his constant companion there.The two set off as usual that afternoon. Kasey was thrashing one of his toys when Canyon spotted a sprinkler-like object protruding from the ground. He ran a finger along the device. Suddenly, he heard a pop, and an orange cloud burst forth. Canyon lunged back as the front of his body was doused in chemicals. The burning began immediately.As Canyon grasped for snow to irrigate his eyes, he heard Kasey grunting near the device. He called to him, but he didn’t come. He stopped what he was doing and ran to him. Dropping to his knees, Canyon watched as Kasey writhed in spasms. Frothing a...Crank up ‘Ex’s & Oh’s’ to see Elle King in Maryland, West Virginia

(CNN) — La audiencia de este miércoles de Hunter Biden ya estaba destinada a ser un evento histórico, ya que el hijo de un presidente de EE.UU. en ejercicio compareció ante un tribunal para declararse culpable de delitos fiscales federales, cerrando una controvertida investigación.Pero en la audiencia de más de tres horas, el acuerdo de culpabilidad original casi se desmorona y deja al hijo del presidente Joe Biden en el limbo por el momento, y solo iluminará aún más el tema a medida que los republicanos del Congreso prosigan sus propias investigaciones sobre las acciones de Hunter Biden.Hunter Biden no pagó entre US$ 1,1 millones y US$ 1,5 millones en impuestos federales antes de los plazos legales y se declaró culpable de dos delitos fiscales menores y los fiscales acordaron recomendar una sentencia de libertad condicional. El acuerdo también estaba destinado a resolver un delito federal de armas de fuego.Hunter Biden, que compareció ante el tribunal con un traje oscuro y el...La delantera colombiana Linda Caicedo se desploma durante entrenamiento en Sídney

KYIV — Ukraine has ended its ban on its athletes competing against Russians and Belarusians in international competitions — so long as Moscow’s and Minsk’s athletes are participating under a neutral banner. However, the ban is still in force stopping Ukrainians from competing against Russians and Belarusians who perform under their national flags, use the national symbols in public during sports events, or make any public statements or actions backing the Russian or Belarusian regimes. In those cases, Ukrainian athletes are recommended to immediately withdraw.Ukraine’s sports ministry published the order on Wednesday.The decision to ease the ban for Ukrainians to compete against Russians and Belarusians, which was imposed in April, came with the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics exactly one year away. Representatives from 203 National Olympic Committees got invitations, except for Guatemala, Russia and Belarus. The International Olympic Committe...Latest news
