Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 00:11:02 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband and I have a special-needs teenage son. After more than a year on a wait list, we finally have an in-home therapist.“Darla” comes three mornings a week to wake him up and help him to get dressed and ready for school.This gives me rare and much-needed breaks.My husband, who works from home, lets Darla into our home. I usually stay in my room and either sleep in or just enjoy the quiet until it is time for me to take my son to school.Darla doesn’t see all that I do when she isn’t there.I’ve picked up hints that she thinks I’m lazy and that my poor husband is put upon. (He doesn’t feel that way).She also seems to have a crush on my husband and finds excuses to chat with him. It drives him crazy, because he’s trying to work.I sent Darla a text asking her not to disturb him unless absolutely necessary.She didn’t respond to the text, but she did stop interrupting him as much.Recently, after I let her in one morning, she told m...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 00:11:02 GMT

The Foreign Affairs Committee adopted last week a series of proposals on the new European Rapid Deployment Capability, to be deployed in the event of a crisis.In a draft resolution adopted by the Committee on Foreign Affairs by 43 votes in favour, 2 against and 0 abstentions, MEPs support the proposal of establishing the EU Rapid Deployment Capacity (EU RDC). This would equip the EU with the capacity and structures to act effectively, respond rapidly and decisively to prevent and manage crises to serve and protect the European Union’s citizens, interests, principles and values across the world.The RDC should be designed to reflect the new geopolitical context and reach full operational capability by 2025 at the latest, MEPs add.MEPs propose the EU Rapid Deployment Capacity missions to cover rescue and evacuation operations, entry and the initial phase of stabilisation operations as well as temporary reinforcement of other missions. The RDC could also be used as a reserve force to se...

Opinion: More toxic derailments will happen if we don’t rein in plastics

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 00:11:02 GMT

Images of dead fish floating in murky water and menacing plumes of gray smoke are haunting the nation’s front pages. Interviews with distressed residents are interspersed with exasperated talking heads on our television screens. More than month after the train derailment disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, America continues to bear witness to the community’s suffering.Though any fiery train wreck is hazardous, this one was particularly catastrophic given the chemicals onboard. Chief among them was cancer-causing vinyl chloride gas, which officials intentionally released into the surrounding air to avoid an explosion. Residents were evacuated during this operation, but long-term pollution and exposure concerns remain.For East Palestine, the story is just beginning, and the following chapters are likely to be grim. We know because the same chemical contaminated — and eventually destroyed — several towns in Louisiana decades ago.Morrisonville, La., was founded after the Civil War by free...

It amuses my friend the English professor when quotes are misattributed. For example, “There’s nothing new under the sun” sounds Shakespearean; it’s from Ecclesiastes.Today’s declarer put all his eggs in one basket. (What’s the source of that saying?) At 3NT, he led a heart to dummy’s king at Trick Two and passed the jack of clubs. When West won to continue spades, South was sunk. He had only eight tricks, and when East took the ace of diamonds, the defense ran the spades.LEAKYSouth had only one basket, and it was leaky. He must lead a diamond from dummy at Trick Three. When East’s ace appears, South has four diamonds, two spades, two hearts and one club.If East played a low diamond and South’s queen won, South could shift to clubs for nine tricks. And if West had the ace of diamonds, South would succeed if dummy’s king dropped the jack or the club finesse won.“It is the part of a wise man to not venture all his eggs ...
