On 12 February, Faris will make her game day commercial debut in an ad for Avocados from Mexico. According to People , the ad will see The House Bunny star, 46, take on the role of Eve in the Garden of Eden . For the ad, which the produce company described as a “story as old as time, how one magical avocado could change the world as we know it,” Faris told People that she appears in just “a tiny little thong and these jelly-like bra things, I guess they’re just nipple covers”.

King Charles knew he might be blamed for Princess Diana's accident?

Image

It’s been almost 26 years since the death of Prince William and Harry's mother Diana in a car crash in Paris, but royal experts are still sharing their opinions about how that incident affected the future of the monarchy. In an article about the new British monarch's reign, the Times of London asked royal author Robert Lacey how Charles reacted to the death of his ex-wife — and it’s awkward. The author claimed that Charles’s first thought was a "selfish one". Lacy, according to Sheknows.com, responded as saying: "They’re all going to blame me." It continued that then Prince of Wales, now the King, reportedly made himself the victim instead of worrying about his young sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, who had just lost their ado...

China to scrap quarantine for international travelers in an essential end of zero-Covid

Future Publishing | Future Publishing | Getty Images BEIJING — China announced late Monday that travelers will no longer need to quarantine upon arrival on the mainland starting Jan. 8. The forthcoming shift follows an abrupt relaxation this month in domestic Covid controls. The changes end the bulk of the most restrictive measures that China had imposed for nearly three years under its zero-Covid policy. Since March 2020, travelers to the mainland have had to quarantine , typically at a designated hotel and for 14 days. That isolation period subsequently began to increase to 21 days or more for some travelers, before China began cutting quarantine times this summer. Current policy requires five days of quarantine at a centralized facility, followed by three days at home. China's National Health Commission also said th...

US Fed keeps interest rates at 22-year high in attempt to curb inflation

Image
[ad_1] Security personnel walk past the US Federal Reserve building in Washington, DC on Oct 22, 2021.— AFP In an effort to curb persistent inflation without weakening the robust economy, the US Federal Reserve decided on Wednesday to keep interest rates at a 22-year high for the second consecutive meeting. The Fed's decision to keep its benchmark lending rate between 5.25% and 5.50% gives policymakers time to "assess additional information and its implications for monetary policy," the central bank said in a statement. The decision was widely expected, given the Fed's stated goal of slowing inflation to its long-term target of two percent. It marks the first time officials have held rates steady at two consecutive meetings since they began tightening monetary policy last year. The US central bank said any future decisions on policy firming would "take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affec...

My grandfather was coming down with pneumonia. I went over to my parents on a Saturday morning. We sat in the living room as my father updated me on the situation with my grandfather. He was telling me my aunt requested if he passed while she was on vacation if the funeral home could accept him...

(Lorenzo Tugnoli for The Washington Post) Comment on this story Comment NABLUS, West Bank — For more than 15 years, Yasser Antar has been doing the dangerous work of a medic in the West Bank, where firefights, roadblocks and tear gas are part of the job description. But he has never been more frightened than in recent months, as spiking violence between Palestinian militants and Israeli soldiers has put medics in the crosshairs like never before in his career.

The Red Crescent said Israeli soldiers have physically assaulted medics, targeted their ambulances with live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas canisters, ...
