Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:33:14 GMT

Speakers highlighted that while the EU managed to save energy and diversify its supply, it now has to develop its own production and adapt to a new energy reality.You can watch the recording of the debate and the press conference.In a meeting of the Industry, Research and Energy committee (ITRE), speakers took stock of the situation on the energy market one year after the start of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, and discussed future perspectives.ITRE committee Chairman Cristian Bușoi (EPP, RO) said: "It is a certainty that the world as we knew it has changed and that the weaponisation of energy by Russia already since 2021 has had enormous consequences in the world in general but in the European Union in particular."For that reason it is important, in a context where we are having to deal with challenges to security of supply, rising energy prices and infrastructure bottlenecks, that we keep in mind that this crisis is not over.

Ask Amy: I’m fuming about how my teen’s caregiver treats me

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:33:14 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...

Harriette Cole: I accidentally sent a text to my boss, and I don’t know what to do

DEAR HARRIETTE: I was trying to send a text message to my friend, and it inadvertently went to my boss.There wasn’t anything bad in it, per se. But my language was a bit racy. I used a couple of curse words and incomplete sentences. It was the shorthand I use when I talk to my friends.Anyway, I was embarrassed to learn that my boss had received it, and he replied that I must have made a mistake in sending it to him. I immediately apologized and explained that I had written it to my friend, but somehow I now feel like he looks at me a little differently.At work I am totally buttoned up and professional. He got to see a more relaxed side, but I’m not sure if he likes that.Is there anything I should do to refresh his image of me?TMIRelated ArticlesAdvice | Harriette Cole: Should I tell my hairstylist why I won’t be back?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:33:14 GMT

(CNN) — La histórica victoria de Michelle Yeoh en los Premios Oscar causó júbilo esta semana en su país natal Malasia, pero también provocó rumores falsos de que se había declarado un festivo nacional, algo que el gobierno del país rápidamente negó.En un comunicado publicado en su página de Facebook este lunes, la oficina del primer ministro Anwar Ibrahim desacreditó una imagen manipulada que había estado circulando en las aplicaciones de chat.La imagen, fechada el 13 de marzo de 2023 y vista por CNN, mostraba un artículo de noticias manipulado del periódico malasio The Star, con el titular: “PM Anwar declara feriado público este miércoles: ‘¡Este es el orgullo de una nación!”.Parecía hacer referencia a una declaración anterior de Anwar, felicitando a Yeoh por su victoria.Las afirmaciones de un feriado público de los Oscar no son verdad, decía el comunicado de la oficina de Anwar. “La noticia es falsa”, dijo. “Se solicita al público que no difunda ni comparta ningu...

Now it’s Darian DeVries who will be coaching his son on the March Madness stage.Tucker DeVries is the Missouri Valley Conference player of the year after turning down some high-major offers to enroll at Drake. DeVries said watching the McDermotts helped give him an idea of what it might be like to play for his dad.“I think there was a lot to be learned from, being able to experience and see how that relationship worked,” the sophomore guard/forward said. “Part of what went into me wanting to come and play for my dad here is being able to have a little taste of that myself.”So far, it’s been just about everything DeVrie...

Confident Kolek leads Marquette to 2 seed in March Madness

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:33:14 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Tyler Kolek adopted the acuity and audacity that defines his game with every bruise he took playing against his older brother while growing up in Rhode Island.Kolek was two years younger than his brother, Brandon, but wanted to prove he was every bit as good. The two brothers stopped playing one-one-one by the time they reached high school since each matchup inevitably ended with a scuffle.“We were both really competitive,” recalled Brandon Kolek, who just finished his final season at Division II school Franklin Pierce. “I’d be bigger than him so I would post him up, and he would get mad that I’m doing that and he can’t stop it. So a couple of punches are thrown, a couple of elbows are thrown and it would just turn to an all-out fight after that.”Kolek’s fearlessness has been a hallmark of Marquette’s stunningly successful season.The approach also helped Kolek develop from a mid-major prospect into the Big East player of the year who led Marquette to its first Big E...
