The new pre-show message is part of Disney’s Diversity & Inclusion policy. The company first announced the new initiative in April, emphasizing the importance of everyone feeling welcome and included at its parks. Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, wrote a blog post in April called “A Place Where Everyone is Welcome” on the company’s official website regarding the new policy. In it, he wrote, “Inclusion is essential to our culture and leads us forward as we continue to realize our rich legacy of engaging storytelling, exceptional service, and Disney magic....

The new resort is the company’s 15th Disney Vacation Club property and aims to immerse guests in “the grandeur and enchantment of the European Riviera,” the company said in a statement.

Disney first announced on March 12—as did Universal Studios—that its theme parks would be shuttered through the end of the month. Now, for Disney, at least, it could conceivably stretch into the summer, though hourly employees will be paid only through April 18. Universal has extended its closure dates for parks in California and Florida to April 19. “While there is still much uncertainty with respect to the impacts of COVID-19, the safety and well-being of our guests and employees remains the Walt Disney Company’s top priority,” a spokesperson said Friday....

The answer is that if your eye healthcare provider suggests that you change your lenses every two weeks, then you should do so. Even though you may be tempted to wear them longer, doing so is probably not safe. Your vision is one of your most precious of senses. Saving a little bit of money is simply not worth risking your vision or eye health. An eye infection or other condition that needs treatment is likely to cost more and result in far more inconvenience than replacing your lenses on schedule....

This might be any story about a company whose management could be clueless enough to blow a big, beautiful franchise. But this company puts out The Wall Street Journal, one of the most influential newspapers in the world. And this story will be covered by a small, often incestuous media group whose complex relations with sources and each other rival those of the Beltway crowd. Dow Jones has stumbled for years, from its clumsy efforts to leverage the Journal name to its much-lambasted manage- ment of Telerate, a data serv- ice trounced by Reuters and Bloomberg....

A person with DID presents with different identities. The person often is unaware these other identities exist and is unable to remember what took place when another identity was in control. They may encounter people who know them but whom they don’t recall meeting, find things they have purchased without remembering, be unaware of how they got to a location, or experience a sense of amnesia or missing time....

Full Moon Over Sydney Remember the quaint old days when athletes shook hands after a victory? Now they shed their clothes. Following an early-round win, the Italian soccer team celebrated with a mini-striptease that would’ve made Brandi Chastain duck and cover. As 93,000 Aussies watched, the Italians yanked off their shorts, then took a bare-butted victory lap you probably won’t be seeing on NBC. Of course, Italy’s show was a bit less diplomatic than Chastain’s....

The fact the WBA light-heavyweight champion’s victory was viewed in some quarters as such a major upset did his talents a disservice. Now, the unbeaten Russian fighter will put his belt on the line against another Mexican. Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez is also yet to taste defeat as a professional. An imposing 6ft 2 ½ ins southpaw, Ramirez will pose an intriguingly different challenge to the one Bivol faced against his illustrious countryman....

Not all guys are the same. Some might be uncomfortable with cute because it has childish or feminine associations. [2] X Research source If a guy is secure in his masculinity, he’ll brush off being called cute without a problem if he doesn’t like it.

Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are not at an increased risk for having abnormal Pap smears or cervical cancer and do not need to have the test performed more frequently. That does not mean that you can skip your yearly exam and regular Pap smear, however. Your healthcare provider will be able to advise you as to how frequently you should have a Pap smear done. Your practitioner will consider including your age, medical and sexual history, and results from previous Pap smears....

For now — now being Friday, the day Dean Blandino left, reportedly for a TV gig — the new replay plan is still in place. Even though, according to one report, it was structured with Blandino, the senior vice president of officiating, in mind. So this might mean a lot more to the NFL than just switching Blandino out for someone else, more than just a different person in the centralized replay center in New York, putting a different set of eyes on six or seven games at one time on Sunday....

“We need more Black people at the stadium.” Betts wore a t-shirt that sported that slogan instead of his jersey during warm-ups, and photographer Steve Saldivar snapped a picture of the shirt.

The trio of Will Smith home runs — two of them walk-offs and the other a go-ahead shot in the ninth — gave the Dodgers catcher one of the best offensive starts for a backstop in MLB history. Each blast arrived in the 24-year-old’s first 14 career games. He’s continued to mash baseballs since then, now at a dozen long balls through 35 contests. Smith compares closely to Gary Sanchez’s 2016 campaign, considered the modern gold standard for rookie catcher outbursts....

“I don’t think anyone quite knew what to expect, so it was quite surprising,” Stephen Leeder, MD, PhD, editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Epidemiology and professor emeritus of public health and community medicine at The University of Sydney, tells Verywell. In August 2020 (that’s peak flu season for the Southern Hemisphere), labs in Australia confirmed 121 cases of flu. In August 2019, the number was just over 61,000. That’s pretty heartening in a country of about 25 million people....

The sport has played a prominent role throughout Trump’s four-year tenure at the White House.
