Dear Amy: I had a 15-year affair with a married man (“Marshall”), who then ended his marriage in order to be with me exclusively.Marshall and I continued our relationship for another four years before he died unexpectedly.His siblings are handling the funeral and arrangements. They have been very kind toward me in my time of loss.However, his ex-wife is not very fond of me and will be attending the services with her and Marshall’s four grown children.She has expressed that it’s inappropriate to invite me or include me in any way, due to me being a “homewrecker” and destroying their marriage.I understand her bitterness and anger toward me — however I am also mourning the loss of someone I cared deeply about.I don’t want to cause a strain on Marshall’s family or children, so I am asking for your advice. Should I be respectful to his ex-wife’s wishes and not attend this service, or am I justified in attending as well?— Mourning In OhioDear Mour...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:27:07 GMT

ENVI committee MEPs want to reinforce measures to ensure improved protection for citizens that donate blood, tissues or cells, or are treated with these substances.The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) adopted its position on new rules governing the use of so-called substances of human origin (SoHO) in the EU, with 59 votes in favour, four against and four abstentions.

This could be facilitated through for example, compensatory leave, tax reductions or flat rate allowances set at the national level. They stress that compensation should not be used as an incentiv...

Serbia moves into World Cup semifinals by beating Lithuania, which had just topped the U.S.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:27:07 GMT

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Lithuania beat the U.S. at the 1998 world championships, then failed to medal. Lithuania then beat the U.S. again at the 2004 Olympics, then failed to medal.And history will repeat itself at this World Cup.Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 18 of his 21 points in the first half and Serbia topped previously unbeaten Lithuania 87-68 in the World Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday — a result that means Lithuania cannot medal in Manila this weekend. The best Lithuania can do now is fifth place.It continues a peculiar jinx for Lithuania, which is 3-8 all-time against the U.S. at the senior men’s national level — and has turned those three wins into exactly zero medals. Lithuania was playing less than 48 hours after beating the U.S. 110-104 to close out second-round play in Manila.Serbia (5-1) will play Canada or Slovenia in Friday’s semifinals. The Canada-Slovenia quarterfinal game is Wednesday; the loser plays Lithuania (5-1) in the consolation playoffs Thursday. Teams cannot...

Nationals Notebook: Home stretch starts with a sweep at home

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:27:07 GMT

Labor Day was the final marking post of the baseball season as teams prepared for the final kick to the postseason (or as we sometimes see, be kicked to the curb).And after posting their first winning month since June of 2021, it looked as if the Washington Nationals had a chance to, if not make the postseason, at least continue to make noise. They got to face a struggling Miami that was teetering — going 13-25 since the All Star break — and they were home.Actually, upon further review, getting swept by the Marlins in D.C. shouldn’t have come as a complete surprise.First off, the Nats were 2-7 against Miami entering the four-game series. And second, this is one of six MLB teams that has a worse record at home than on the road. The select club the Nationals are in is an intriguing bunch: two teams that led their divisions entering Sunday’s games (Houston and the Orioles), two that were scraping on the fringes of the Wild Card chase (Cincinnati and Toronto) and two sub-. 5...

Kenya’s leader says climate change is eating away Africa’s GDP, calls for talks on global carbon tax

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:27:07 GMT

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Climate change is “relentlessly eating away” at Africa’s economic progress and it’s time to have a global conversation about a carbon tax, Kenya’s president declared Tuesday as the first Africa Climate Summit began.“Those who produce the garbage refuse to pay their bills,” President William Ruto said.The African continent of more than 1.3 billion people is losing 5% to 15% of its GDP growth every year to the widespread impacts of climate change, according to Ruto. It’s a source of deep frustration in the region that contributes by far the least to the global problem.The summit’s opening speeches included clear calls to reform the global financial structures that have left African nations paying five times more to borrow money than others, worsening the debt crisis for many. Africa has more than 30 of the world’s most indebted countries, Kenya’s cabinet secretary for the environment, Soipan Tuya, said.The U.S. government’s climate envoy, John Kerry, acknow...
