[ad_1] KARACHI: Anyone who's even vaguely familiar with Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour knows the event doesn't kick off at 4:30PM when the doors swing open, or even at 5:30PM when the first opening act takes the stage. Nope, it starts at 7AM which is when I dragged myself out of bed, packed my regulation-sized A4 bag with energy bars, Lucozade, and friendship bracelets, and trudged to Wembley Stadium to queue up. If you've managed to score seats (lucky you—though "lucky" might be debatable), you can skip this ritual. But for me? Pitch standing is the only way to properly experience a concert, where you can dance shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of other Swifties. ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid’ One thing that never crossed my mind in the months leading up to my August concert was that I would be one of the handful of Pakistanis in the audience. As I took my place in the queue and scanned my surroundings, I came to a jarring revelation. I was the only brown p

Chan School of Public Health and other universities analyzed population health data for more than 92,000 adults over a 28-year period.

[ad_1] For his 73rd birthday in April, Felice Macchi had lunch at La Bettola Del Gusto, a restaurant in Pompeii, Italy, with a focus on seafood. He ordered the house specialty: spaghettoni, a thicker spaghetti, in a fermented anchovy sauce with black truffles and butter made with milk from water buffalo native to the Mediterranean region. The meal came on a ceramic plate with a whimsical hand-painted design depicting the spaghettoni dish and a smoking volcano, a nod to nearby Mount Vesuvius. Mr. Macchi finished his meal — he said it was “excellent” — but did not leave the restaurant empty-handed. Instead of leftovers, he took home the plate his pasta was served on. It was a new addition to a collection he has amassed of that type of Italian tableware, known as Buon Ricordo plates. He has hundreds of them, many of which he eats on. Others decorate hallways, the kitchen and the dining room of his home in Varese, Italy. Since 2022, Mr. Macchi has been the president of the Buon Ricord

[ad_1] After 30 years as one of England’s top pediatricians, Dr. Hilary Cass was hoping to begin her retirement by learning to play the saxophone. Instead, she took on a project that would throw her into an international fire: reviewing England’s treatment guidelines for the rapidly rising number of children with gender distress, known as dysphoria. At the time, in 2020, England’s sole youth gender clinic was in disarray. The waiting list had swelled, leaving many young patients waiting years for an appointment. Staff members who said they felt pressure to approve children for puberty-blocking drugs had filed whistle-blower complaints that had spilled into public view. And a former patient had sued the clinic, claiming that she had transitioned as a teenager “after a series of superficial conversations with social workers.” The National Health Service asked Dr. Cass, who had never treated children with gender dysphoria but had served as the president of the Royal College of Pedia

[ad_1] ISLAMABAD: The caretaker government has kicked off work on a two-pronged strategy for the privatisation of Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM), which comes in the backdrop of a payment dispute with Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) over gas supplies. A major outstanding issue before sell-off is the requirement of no-objection certificate (NOC) and the vacation of charge by SSGC from core operating assets, including the core land, plant, machinery and building. The matter is pending resolution between the Ministry of Industries and Production, PSM and SSGC. The Cabinet Committee on Privatisation (CCOP) has recently directed the Privatisation Commission to take all measures for resolving the pending issues and develop a clean plan of action for privatisation of the steel mill.
