Jennie Berry posted the video on her social media accounts where it was viewed more than 11 million times in total as she recounted how she was treated while on board a plane with Albastar, a Spanish airline. Albastar’s website states that its staff is trained to provide assistance to those with disabilities. “Passengers should inform the Airline of the type of airport assistance they require at least 48 hours before departure,” the airline said....

Understandably, people often think of food, water and shelter as the primary needs after a disaster, but that is far from reality. People must contend with challenges like applying for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) benefits, tackling insurance claim disputes, clearing property titles and protecting themselves against unscrupulous contractors and unlawful evictions. The legal needs that emerge after a disaster are complex and difficult to navigate without a lawyer. Yet for far too many people, effective legal assistance remains out of reach....

Sanders accidentally called it ebola and Biden mistakenly referred to it as SARS. “No one is in a position where they have a significant financial disability as a consequence of this SARS, of this particular crisis,” Biden said during the 11th Democratic debate, hosted by CNN Sunday night. During a follow-up segment, Sanders also misnamed the novel coronavirus that has resulted in the death of more than 6,500 individuals and infected over 150,000 people around the globe....

The condemnation, which comes from a Disney spokesperson and was obtained by Deadline, comes after the company faced backlash from its employees and customers over its complicated response to the bill. After Disney CEO Bob Chapek refused to give a direct statement on the bill, the company’s employees staged walkouts demanding action. “Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law,” said a Disney spokesperson in the statement released Monday....

The night’s more prestigious titles went to rival Disney, which took home best picture, director and actress for Nomadland, with the veteran Hollywood studio landing its first big picture win since Chicago and best director for Chloé Zhao who helms Eternals, the biggest Marvel movie of this year. In fact, Netflix’s much-anticipated David Fincher film Mank amassed the most nominations but failed to actually win any major awards. Similarly, its highly publicized Trial of the Chicago 7, directed by Hollywood heavyweight Aaron Sorkin, garnered most nominations for any film but went home empty-handed....

A number of staffers have now created a website called WhereIsChapek.com, where they have expressed their gratitude for Chapek’s apology, but have reprimanded Disney for failing to “match the magnitude of the threat to LGBTQIA+ safety represented by this legislation.” Chapek announced on Friday that Disney is pausing all political donations in Florida following a week of backlash against the company’s initial silence. Named the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by activists, the recently passed legislation in Florida bans “classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity” in certain grade levels in schools....

At first it seemed laughable: an actor who played Dick Tracy now posing as the James Madison of Mulholland Drive. But Beatty is a serious man, a lifelong liberal and campaign kibitzer. He knows that fame is the iron ore of the age of celebrity. Once you had to win a war–say the Civil War or World War II–to be famous in a politically potent way. Jesse Ventura proved that you just have to be famous....

Campaigning in Ohio, a formerly industrial state that is rapidly becoming a postindustrial state, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama expressed reservations about the trade deal and suggested it might need to be revisited. Clinton tried to make a meal over a report that Obama economic adviser Austan Goolsbee, a University of Chicago professor and an occasional Slate contributor, told Canadians that Obama’s anti-NAFTA rhetoric was just for show and that they should trust in Obama’s free-trade credentials....

It’s an all-too-familiar criticism. Last month marked the fifth anniversary of the boardroom coup that installed Jack Smith as GM’s chief executive. Since taking over a nearly bankrupt carmaker, Smith’s team has slashed costs, boosted profits and expanded overseas. But one fact remains: GM still sells more brands of cars than Ford, Chrysler and Toyota combined. It’s the strategy Wall Street loves to hate, since it adds millions in advertising and engineering expenses with little visible benefit....

Wildfires in the West have become more frequent, more destructive and harder to combat as climate change causes extremely dry conditions and heat waves, the Associated Press reported. Mandatory evacuation orders for Plumas County in the Sierra Nevada were issued Thursday as the Dixie Fire spread eastward. “This fire is outpacing us at moments,” Shannon Prather, the incident commander, said Thursday evening. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection obtained 12 more firefighting aircraft and promptly sent nine to the Dixie Fire, Gov....

Its causes range from standing up too quickly to more serious conditions—like vertigo—that merit medical treatment. Most of the time, dizziness is an acute symptom that resolves quickly and on its own, but sometimes it may signal a more serious problem. This article discusses the symptoms and potential causes of dizziness and covers the risk factors and when to seek tests or treatment for your symptoms. Symptoms of Dizziness Dizzy is a subjective feeling that differs from person to person....

There's no doubt Djokovic is the man to beat on indoor hard courts. And just for the record, his 22 consecutive wins to finish 2013 matched top-ranked Nadal's best stretch of the year. Djokovic's winning run started after a U.S. Open final defeat to Nadal, and during a span when the Spaniard replaced him atop the rankings. "The most positive thing that I can take from those 2½ months is the fact that I managed to regroup after a few big losses against Nadal, especially in Roland Garros, U....

Teams that are willing to bid for the Seahawks wide receiver could be in luck: ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Metcalf could be had this offseason, if the trade package is satisfactory. Fowler reports that the Seahawks, amidst a contract-extension standstill with the wideout, could move on from Metcalf for the right price, despite the team publicly and privately throwing support behind him this offseason. Metcalf turns 25 this December and grabbed 75 passes for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns this past season....

In an offseason filled with insane movement at the wide receiver spot, Seahawks star DK Metcalf was pegged by some to be next to find new duds for the 2022 season. Well, it sounds like things are progressing towards a resolution in Seattle. Speaking on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast with Shannon Sharpe, Metcalf made it clear that it seems as though his future is going to be in the Pacific northwest for at least the next few years....

Speaking to state-owned television channel Russia-24, Dmitry Rogozin, director of Roscosmos, claimed that the country’s new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile was superior to comparable U.S. technology and also said the space agency was providing satellite images of Ukraine to the Russian army as “intelligence support.” Regarding Russia’s satellite capabilities, Rogozin claimed that Roscosmos was conducting satellite observation activities over Ukraine, including taking images of Ukrainian decision-making centers. He said that the satellite images are not published but are instead sent to the defense ministry....

The inability of robots to adapt is a symptom of their growing complexity–the more we want them to do, the harder it is to build them for every contingency. This limitation is the biggest obstacle to making robots more useful around the house, attached to the human body, in our cities and streets. Almost all commercial robots now work in tightly regulated environments such as the factory floor, where objects are always where they’re supposed to be, and people are nowhere near....

If you have colored or bleached hair, make sure you use a perm for colored hair. It will be less damaging and protect your hair more. Hot perms (or acid perms) are slightly less damaging than cold perms (or alkaline perms). If you have damaged or bleached hair, consider asking your stylist about a hot perm. Perming your hair the first time usually isn’t the problem, it’s perming multiple times over already damaged hair....

And that’s definitely how it should be. Tight end Marcedes Lewis and wideout Cecil Shorts III are still there, and there’s some buzz around rookie Marqise Lee since Ace Sanders (substance abuse) will be suspended the first four games of the season, but with a rookie quarterback in Blake Bortles, it’s tough to trust any of Jacksonville’s receivers.

Why has a comprehensive, in-depth study of this question never been conducted? Because we have been afraid to ask, afraid to know. But now I feel the time is right. The answers of children are illuminating, not frightening. They help us see that our assumptions about children’s ideas are often at odds with reality. Ultimately, this information will help us be better parents–and better employees, too. In fact, adding children’s voices to our national conversation about work and family life will change the way we think about them forever....
