A Hamas delegation has arrived in Cairo for talks on efforts to broker a ceasefire in the war in Gaza after indications that Israel has provisionally accepted a six-week phased hostage and truce deal before the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Qatari and US mediators also arrived in the Egyptian capital on Sunday, according to the state-linked Al Qahera News. Talks involving Israeli negotiators took place in the Qatari city of Doha on Saturday and Hamas is expected to respond on Sunday or Monday as time runs out before the unofficial deadline of 10 or 11 March, when Ramadan starts. The month of fasting is often accompanied by an uptick in violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, even in quieter years. A Hamas official told Agence France-Presse that if Israel were to meet its demands – which include a complete military withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and stepped-up humanitarian aid – this would “pave the way for an agreement within the next 24-48 hours”. Another unnamed Palestinian official told Reuters, however, that a ceasefire deal was still not imminent, saying: “We’re not there yet.” A US official said on Saturday that Israel had “more or less accepted” a deal presented by mediators. Stemming the bloodshed in Gaza has been a difficult diplomatic task in the nearly five-month-old war sparked by Hamas’s attack on Israel in which, according to Israeli figures, about 1,200 people were killed and another 250 abducted. Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed more than 30,000 people, displaced more than 85% of the 2.3 million-strong po[CENSORED]tion from their homes and left more than half of the strip’s infrastructure in ruins, according to data from Gaza’s health ministry and the UN. Increasing the flow of aid is crucial. The local health ministry said on Sunday that 15 children had died from malnutrition and dehydration at Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahiya, and the UN has said about a quarter of the total po[CENSORED]tion is “one step away from famine”. Hamas has indicated its negotiating position could be influenced by the deaths of 115 Palestinians in Gaza who were killed after Israeli troops opened fire near a crowd of people scrambling to get food from an aid convoy on Thursday. Israel’s military said on Sunday that a preliminary review found its forces did not strike the convoy and that most Palestinians died in a crowd crush, although it acknowledged it fired at individuals who it said posed a threat to soldiers. The military spokesperson R Adm Daniel Hagari did not give details on the alleged threat but said “an independent, professional and expert body” would do a more thorough examination that would be shared “hopefully in the coming days”. UN officials visiting al-Shifa hospital the day after the attack said they saw many survivors with gunshot wounds, matching interviews with doctors treating the injured and witness accounts of the incident. The scale of the looming starvation has pushed the US to start airdropping food into the besieged territory, a move criticised by aid agencies and human rights groups as expensive and ineffective. A November truce in which about 100 hostages were freed in exchange for 240 Palestinians in Israeli jails collapsed after a week, and progress on a second deal has proved elusive. With just a week left until Ramadan begins, desperate civilians in Gaza, the relatives of the remaining hostages and international mediators are all aware that time may be running out to broker a comprehensive ceasefire. The latest negotiations have centred on a proposal to pause the fighting for six weeks, increase the flow of aid, and for Hamas to free the default defined category of vulnerable hostages: the sick, the wounded, elderly people and women. The number and identity of Palestinian prisoners to be released has to date been a particular sticking point in talks since the first ceasefire collapsed at the beginning of December. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/03/hamas-delegation-arrives-for-gaza-ceasefire-talks-in-cairo

Asked what he thought of Western civilisation, Mahatma Gandhi is said to have quipped that such a thing “would be a good idea”. (The West, he suggested, was not so enlightened.) But as Josephine Quinn makes clear in her new book, Western civilisation has always been a bad idea, or at any rate a wrong-headed one. To compartmentalise history into a set of distinct and essentially self-contained civilisations is a misguided quest that has dangerously distorted our understanding of the world, Ms Quinn asserts: “It is not peoples that make history, but people, and the connections that they create with one another.” Ms Quinn, a historian and archaeologist who teaches at Oxford, does not spend 500-odd pages trashing what generations of schoolchildren have been taught to take pride in as European achievements. Instead, she demolishes the underlying concept of what she calls “civilisational thinking”. Her argument is simple, persuasive and deserving of attention. https://www.economist.com/culture/2024/03/01/the-history-of-the-west-is-not-quite-what-you-learned-in-school

PARIS, March 1 (Reuters) - Vetements designer Guram Gvasalia drew out the proportions of clothing for the label's 10th anniversary catwalk presentation on Friday, which brought crowds of celebrities, including Cher, to the Paris Fashion Week event. "The most Vetements show ever," the label posted on Instagram in the run-up to show. "You've been waiting for it for ten years." Natalia Vodianova opened the show, walking briskly down the red carpeted runway in a thick, tailored suit with heightened shoulders and bulky trousers, and a fitted, low-cut bustier. A series of oversize looks followed, including suits in crinkly materials, a long T-shirt with sleeves that splayed out to the side, a hulking camouflage ensemble and jeans with extra fabric that trailed behind. Georgina Rodriguez wore a dress printed with the name of football star Cristiano Ronaldo, while another model had an enormous grey hoodie printed with a message: "I'm retired, this is as dressed up as I get." https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/guram-gvasalia-supersizes-styles-vetements-runway-show-2024-03-01/

Messi "a voulu humilier Hong Kong" L'influent quotidien local Global Times a également fait sienne la théorie de l'absence délibérée. "Une théorie est que les actions (de Messi) ont des motivations politiques, dans la mesure où Hong Kong voulait stimuler l'économie à travers cet événement et que des forces extérieures ont délibérément voulu humilier Hong Kong [et par là même la Chine, NDLR] avec cet incident. Cette hypothèse ne peut être exclue", a relevé le média nationaliste, tandis que sur Weibo, l'équivalent chinois de X, des Chinois se sont amusé à caricaturer Messi en soldat japonais ou américain. "En allant jouer aux États-Unis, Messi est devenu un élément de la marque USA", analyse Simon Chadwick. "Qu'il le veuille ou non, il sera perçu comme un défenseur des États-Unis et des intérêts parce qu'il joue pour une équipe américaine." En 2019 déjà, le sport avait été le terrain de jeu des tensions entre les États-Unis et la Chine. À l'époque, c'était le basket qui avait été concerné : Daryl Morey, le manager général des Houston Rockets, avait dans un tweet fait part de sa solidarité avec les manifestants prodémocratie hongkongais. Colère de Pékin. Dans la foulée, les chaînes de CCTV, chaînes publiques chinoises, ont supprimé tous les matchs des Rockets, puis cessé de diffuser le championnat de NBA. Le boycott a duré un an. https://www.france24.com/fr/sports/20240303-lionel-messi-et-les-contradictions-de-la-géopolitique-et-du-foot-business

Meta's new Threads app is finally available on iOS and Android, and the platform has received plenty of traction at launch. It has not even been 12 hours since the release, and the app has successfully crossed the 10 million download mark. Threads is Meta's answer to Twitter and the changes it is placing forth lately. It behaves a lot like Twitter as well when it comes to replies, sharing media, and much more. If you already have an Instagram account, the entire process of jumping to Threads will be a lot simpler. Meta launches Threads app to take on Twitter, and it has gained a lot of attention in a matter of hours As mentioned earlier, Meta's Threads is a microblogging platform similar to Twitter, and it will take time for users to get accustomed to the new ways. However, it is not yet known how the market will respond to it, but initial views have been positive so far. The platform is not only available on iOS and Android, but you can use it on your desktop as well. In terms of specifics, the Threads app supports text-based posts that can go up to 500 characters. You also have the availability to share photos, gifs, as well as short 5-minute videos. The media aspect of the app is different than Instagram but very similar to Twitter. You can not access additional video content in the form of Reels, so you will have to stick to Instagram for that. It features a minimalistic interface with a main feed page that contains recommendations as well as threads from people you have followed. Currently, the Threads app does not give you the option to choose between the two, but it could be added later on. The clean interface allows you to focus on the text and the content with little to no distractions. Instagram-Threads.jpg The app also brings various privacy and security controls from the Instagram app such as blocking words and limiting people to reply to your thread. You can make your account private or public as well. If you are on Instagram, you can easily sign up for Threads and follow the same people. As mentioned earlier, Threads is Meta's answer to Twitter and the number of issues it is running into these days. The app has crossed more than 10 million downloads in just 7 hours of launch. This shows people are looking for a dedicated platform to replace Twitter in its own game. However, the market feedback remains to be seen. We are gradually seeing celebrities and brands joining the platform, and the outcome could be a thread threat to Twitter. If you are up for it, Meta's Threads app can be downloaded from the App Store and Play Store. You can also use the app on your desktop so you always stay in touch with the latest news. We will share more details on Threads and how to use it in the future, so be sure to stick around. link: https://wccftech.com/twitter-rival-threads-is-available-on-ios-and-android-crosses-a-whopping-10-million-downloads-in-just-7-hours/

Chinese mega publisher NetEase continues its expansion into the Western development scene as today the company announced they’ve acquired SkyBox Labs, the Vancouver, Canada-based support studio that’s primarily worked with Xbox Game Studios on the likes of Halo Infinite, Minecraft, and various Age of Empires titles.It sounds like SkyBox will continue to assist other studios with their games under NetEase ownership, although the press release for the acquisition does mention Skybox will also “pursue creative opportunities.” SkyBox has produced some original titles of their own, including the well-received artsy platformer Stela, so with NetEase’s support, perhaps we’ll see more in than vein. NetEase’s president of global investment and partnerships Simon Zhu had the following to say about the new partnership with SkyBox…“We are thrilled to welcome SkyBox Labs to the NetEase Games family and are committed to creating an environment that allows them to thrive and operate independently as a game studio. We were impressed with their extensive experience in game development and are great admirers of their past work on some of the world's leading franchises. We look forward to working with the SkyBox Labs co-founders and providing the resources needed to help them grow their presence in Canada as they continue to support top creators around the world in developing unforgettable gaming experiences for players." Interestingly, one of NetEase’s big recent moves was backing Jar of Sparks, a new Seattle-based startup studio founded by many former Halo Infinite top creatives. They’re looking to create a “new generation of narrative-driven action games," so perhaps SkyBox Labs will be helping them out with that? The people behind the two studios have a history and are certainly close geographically, so it would make sense.What do you think about NetEase’s continued expansion? Could some good games eventually come out of it? You can get more info on their latest moves here. https://wccftech.com/halo-infinite-minecraft-studio-skybox-labs-netease-acquisition/

Remains were discovered in the search for missing Lois and John McCullough By Peter Walker & Debbie Tubby BBC News, in Chelmsford Detectives believe they have discovered the remains of a couple whose daughter has been charged with their murder. Essex Police was called to an address in Pump Hill, Chelmsford, on Wednesday over concerns for the welfare of two people in their 70s, who were missing. Virginia McCullough, 35, of Pump Hill, appeared in court earlier accused of murdering John and Lois McCullough some time between 2018 and 2023.Virginia McCullough appeared for a brief hearing at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court The court charge sheet said Virginia McCullough had been charged with her parents' murder in Chelmsford some time between 21 August 2018 and 15 September this year. Det Supt Rob Kirby said formal identification of the bodies was yet to take place and a police presence would remain in the road in the "coming days". "This continues to be an incredibly complex investigation," he said. "A family is grieving the loss of two relatives and officers are supporting them." Police said human remains had now been found at an address on the same street.Essex Police said they were working to build a "clear picture" as part of their investigation in the Great Baddow area of Chelmsford In a statement issued by police, the victims' family said: "We are deeply shocked by their deaths and ask for privacy at this difficult time." Ms McCullough appeared for a brief hearing at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Monday, wearing a grey prison-issue tracksuit, and was remanded in custody to appear again at Basildon Crown Court on Tuesday. The Reverend Phil Sheldrake, the vicar at St Mary's Great Baddow, told the BBC that clergy were on hand to speak to anyone affected. "We are shocked to hear the tragic news that's come from our own community and what we want to do as a church is simply react to that by opening up this building as a place people can come and pray, light a candle and just be," he said. Essex Police asked for anyone with information to get in contact... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-66844514

Name: Maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) Where it’s found: South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay) What it eats: Omnivorous diet, including small mammals, birds, reptiles, eggs, sugarcane, bulbs and fruits. Sponsored Links Researchers First Thought They Were Statues investing.com Why it's awesome: If there were a beauty contest for wild canines, the maned wolf would surely be the winner, with its flowing red coat, long legs and large ears. Its name derives from the black mane along the back of its neck. At least one all-black (known as melanistic) maned wolf has been seen and photographed. Despite resembling a red fox and being called a wolf, the maned wolf is not closely related to either of those animals. In fact, the maned wolf forms its own genus, Chrysocyon, which translates to "golden dog." It lives in South America, including in Argentina, Brazil and Peru. The maned wolf's long legs may be an adaptation for hunting in grassland, one of its habitats. Unlike other canids, it eats invertebrates, roots and grass, along with more typical fare, such as rodents, small deer and birds. There's even a fruit associated with the maned wolf: the lobeira, also known as the wolf’s fruit or guarambá. Part of the Solanaceae family — which also includes tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and tobacco — wolf's fruit constitutes up to 50% of a maned wolf's diet. Scientists think maned wolves eat this tomato-like fruit, which can be up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) in diameter, to help expel parasitic worms — particularly the giant kidney worm (Dioctophyma renale), which is usually fatal to maned wolves. nk of extinction Unlike the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), the maned wolf is mostly solitary, but males and females are monogamous and stick together for about a month during breeding season. Even when separate, they keep in contact via a call described as "an explosive roar-bark," which can travel more than half a mile. link: https://www.livescience.com/animals/maned-wolf-a-strikingly-beautiful-south-american-canid

In conjunction with the enthusiasm that many people feel when starting to follow a healthy diet, some people are keen to read the nutrition information labeled on the food products they eat daily, and some products may become tempting when they learn that their calories are low or less than expected. But how are the calories in manufactured products calculated, and is the printed information about the product’s calories accurate? In 1990, a US federal nutrition labeling law was passed, requiring food manufacturers to label nutritional facts on a product. Scientists working for food manufacturers are supposed to conduct measurements in their laboratories to obtain the numbers of nutrients contained in their products. They rely on a standard known as “standard reference materials.” To obtain this standard, they use what is known as the “food matrix triangle” or the amount of “fat, protein, and carbohydrates.” The results of these tests are reflected on the product’s nutritional facts labels, but these results are the closest to health, but they are not 100% accurate. “Snacks that say they contain 200 calories could actually be 240 calories,” says food scientist Dr. Katherine Lee. The US Food and Drug Administration also confirmed that the percentages labeled on food products are not accurate, as they allow for an error and variance of up to 20%, which means that a serving of Greek yogurt that contains 100 calories can actually contain between 80 and 120 calories. . Labels on food products are not accurate, allowing up to 20% error (pixels) Factors affecting the accuracy of calorie counting According to the Very Well Fit website, scientists in the field of nutrition have identified a group of reasons that may affect the accuracy of calorie counting. Understanding these factors may help you make better choices about healthy foods in your diet plan: Unreliable sources Food tracking applications may provide data uploaded by consumers. In some cases, the numbers are not verified for accuracy. This means that the serving size, nutrition data, and calorie count can all be wrong. Before relying on any of these sources, it is useful to know whether the numbers are confirmed or not. How to prepare Another factor that can affect the accuracy of calories is the method of preparing the food, because adding oils or sauces to your food will add calories, but what if you prepare your food without any added ingredients? Some research suggests that cooking method may alter calorie absorption. In a study of almonds, for example, metabolizable energy changed based on whether the nuts were natural, roasted, or had oils added. Restaurant errors Research studies have found that what is on a restaurant menu is not always the same as what is served to you on your plate. According to research published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 19% of foods tested in restaurants contained energy levels that were at least 100 calories higher than stated, an amount that can cause a weight gain of 5 to 7 kilograms per year. If consumed daily. The restaurant menu contains energy levels that are at least 100 calories higher than advertised (pixels). Ultimately, counting calories is helpful, but should be approached with caution, so check macronutrient (carbohydrate, protein, fat) and micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) information to make smart choices. But at the same time, you must be aware that the percentages labeled on food products or restaurant menus can be errored by 20%. https://www.aljazeera.net/lifestyle/2023/9/19/هل-قيمة-السعرات-الحرارية-على-المنتجات
