The United States and its allies are leaning heavily on economic sanctions to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. But a key element in that strategy, restrictions on Russian oil exports, mostly appears to be causing pain for ordinary people in other countries. European nations, in particular, are causing considerable damage to their own economies without reducing Russia’s oil revenue.
Dear Dr. Roach: Is it true that a person over 55 years of age can have bone density problems? Does drinking milk and taking calcium with vitamin D help with this condition? Also, some people take oral cortisone for arthritis. Doesn’t this make the bones more susceptible to bone breakage? Some doctors don’t feel men can have bone density problems.
Dear Abby: I have worked for the same company for 20 years. For the last eight years, I was part of an office book club, mostly because I was pressured regularly by the boss to participate. The members were mostly a clique of “mean girls.” I never felt a part of it or comfortable, but I pushed through the once-a-month meetings to keep the peace. When COVID sent everyone home to work the past two years, the book club was over, or so I thought, hoped and prayed. As things are loosening up now, though, the pressure is mounting again. I do not want to return to that routine, but the powers that be don’t seem to accept any excuse or reason. After 24 months of freedom, forcing me back into it is causing great anxiety. What would you advise me to say or do to be left out of this without antagonizing the boss?

Progressives want Joe Biden to unleash what they call “beast mode” executive power, and the Schumer-Manchin tax bill supplies the cash to turn the Internal Revenue Service into Wolverine. The pact between Sen.
The United States has now met President Biden’s goal, announced in March, to legally admit “up to” 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing Vladimir Putin’s blood-soaked invasion. That admirable achievement shouldn’t mark the end of this country’s commitment to sharing the burden of the ongoing humanitarian nightmare in Europe. The administration has the means and programs in place to retain an open door for Ukrainians forced from their homes. It should prepare for another 100,000.
When making a movie based on a real-life event, it’s important to ask what you hope to accomplish in this project. You don’t have to change filmmaking forever with your efforts. However, it’s important to ask what you’ll accomplish that people couldn’t get from a documentary or a book on your subject. This can even be something as simple as being an entertaining standalone watch, that’s a perfectly reasonable reason to make a film. Many movies based on historical events, like Selma, Lincoln, or The Insider, manage to offer something unique in exploring the past. Thirteen Lives, a new Ron Howard directorial effort chronicling the 2018 Thai cave rescue mission, is, unfortunately, unable to do anything especially compelling with the harrowing material it’s covering. At the end of June 2018, 13
“Ready, Get Set, Go!” That was something we would say to each other on summer evenings as neighborhood kids would get together and race each other in the front yard or sometimes on our bikes as we would try to outrun each other down the street. We would take turns being the starter, and off we’d go to see who was the fastest.

Like clockwork, the third rock from the sun continues to spin its way around the orbital pathway that marks out a calendar year in this solar system for planet Earth. And that means that now that we’re actually in the month of August, less than four weeks remain for wingshooters to find the scattergun in the recesses of the gun safe, pull it out of mothballs, and fire some shotshells at clay pigeon targets prior to the Sept.
