Botticelli’s Venus is an ‘influencer’ and Italy is not happy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:59 GMT

ROME (AP) — The Italian tourism ministry thought it had a sure-fire way to bring travelers into the country: turning a 15th century art icon into a 21st century “virtual influencer.” The digital rendition of Venus, goddess of love, based on Sandro Botticelli’s Renaissance masterpiece “Birth of Venus,” can be seen noshing on pizza and snapping selfies for her Instagram page. Unlike the original, this Venus is fully clothed. The influencer claims to be 30, or “maybe just a wee bit (older) than that.”But the new ad campaign is facing significant backlash — with critics calling it a “new Barbie” that trashes Italy’s cultural heritage.The tourist campaign “trivializes our heritage in the most vulgar way, transforming Botticelli’s Venus into yet another stereotyped female beauty,” Livia Garomersini, an art historian and activist with Mi Riconosci, an art and heritage campaign organization, said in a response to the project last month.The yearlong campaign, produced by national tourism age...

WHO Declares COVID Is No Longer A Health Emergency

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:59 GMT

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared that COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency.The announcement was made by WHO Director General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Friday, a day after the WHO emergency committee convened and made the suggestion.“The Emergency Committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern,” Ghebreyesus said Friday. “It is therefore with great hope that I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency.”The director general said, however, countries should not view this deceleration as a call to stop its efforts toward fighting the disease. Instead, there should be a “transition” to manage COVID-19 as other infectious diseases are managed.“Last week, COVID-19 claimed a life every three minutes – and that’s just the deaths we know about,” Ghebreyesus said. “As we speak, thousands of people around the world are fig...

Dear Abby: The neighbors’ dog has bad manners and so do they

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:59 GMT

DEAR ABBY: We are a group of neighbors with the same breed of dog, and we walk together every Saturday morning.All our dogs are well-behaved, except for one — a young, unneutered male who is very active and humps anything that moves. Its owners are against neutering. This dog especially goes after our spayed female dog, who tries to resist him, to no avail. We often must intervene.The owners try to curb his behavior but are not consistent enough that it sticks. On top of that, when they go away they expect one of the families in the group to provide free dog-sitting and are rarely available to reciprocate. The couple generally are nice, but just have poor dog manners.So far, we dog-sit for them sparingly because of this issue. What else can we do?DOGGONE TIRED OF ITDEAR DOGGONE TIRED: The owners of that animal are irresponsible and misguided. Their unneutered dog has become a nuisance.Related ArticlesAdvice | Dear Abby: This is not how I wanted the bride to react to...

ASWAN, Egypt (AP) — Sudan’s warring sides were beginning talks Saturday that aim to firm up a shaky cease-fire after three weeks of fierce fighting that has killed hundreds and pushed the African country to the brink of collapse, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia said.The negotiations, the first between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces since the fighting broke out on April 15, were taking place in Saudi Arabia’s coastal city of Jeddah, according to a joint Saudi-American statement.The talks are part of a diplomatic initiative proposed by Saudi Arabia and the U.S. that aims to stop the fighting, which has turned Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, and other urban areas into battlefields and pushed hundreds of thousands from their homes.In their joint statement, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. urged both parties to “actively engage in the talks towards a cease fire and end to the conflict, which will spare the Sudanese people’s suffering.”The statement did not offer a timefram...
