Delta Airlines Plans To ‘Strategically Reduce’ Flights This Summer.

Early next month, Delta Air Lines announced that it would be re- home from schooling about 100 daily flights from its schedule. To achieve this, the airline took measures designed to "mitigate disruptions and find quicker fixes when they do arise." Delta announced on Monday that it would reduce its daily departures between July 1 and August 7, citing "rising demand and the challenges of 'rebuilding Delta's full-scale operation.'" The cuts will primarily affect markets in the US and Latin America. Delta Airlines plans to continue adjusting its schedule in the coming weeks. Delta Air Lines, Inc.'s chief customer experience officer, Allison Ausband, said in a statement that the factors currently impacting Delta's operation -- weather and air traffic control, vendor staffing and high...

Final Stop Of The Champions League Between Liverpool And Real Madrid.

PARIS (AP) -- If Saturday's Champions League final is the European game's answer to the Super Bowl—and there are some powerbrokers who would love to make it even more so—then most will be more than happy with this year's contenders. Liverpool and Real Madrid both tick many of the hype boxes so dear to sponsors and broadcasters... There's no fairy tale in this matchup. Merit and savvy, quality and confidence, experience and grit are all factors that separate these two sides. If you had to rank them, Liverpool—the runner-up in the Premier League and winner of the League Cup and FA Cup—and Real Madrid—LaLiga champions—would probably be considered two of the top three club sides in Europe this season. The third member of this season's dominant trinity is Manchester City, who were beat...

USA Team’s Debut Victory Over The All Blacks Ties The Score Of 104-14.

New Zealand returned to winning ways by trouncing the United States 104-14 in Washington on Saturday. In a lopsided test match, the Eagles at least secured their first try against the All Blacks. New Zealand, who had not played in the U.S. since 2016, won their first game in America since a 10-match winning streak was snapped by South Africa in the final game of the Rugby Championship. Will Jordan scored three tries and Richie Mo'unga added another as the All Blacks beat Italy 81-10 in their final pool match. The All Blacks scored 16 tries in total, including nine in the first half alone. "I know they'll be disappointed with the scoreline, but this was all about gaining experience for them," said All Blacks head coach Ian Foster after the match. "The reality i...

Gene-Edited Tomatoes May Soon Be Sold In The UK.

Several of the very first gene-edited tomato plants (that boost the uptake of vitamin D by the human body) to be distributed in the United Kingdom will be none other than tomato paste. Scientists at the John Innes Centre in Norwich have created a new strain of wheat that can grow in very salty soil. The researchers turned off a specific molecule in the plants' genetic code, making them more tolerant to salt. A bill is to be introduced on Wednesday to allow commercial growing of gene-edited crops in England. The technique is currently not used for food production in the UK because of rules set by the EU but Brexit has enabled the UK to set its own rules. A study published in Nature Plants found that one out of every six people in the United Kingdom is deficient in vitamin D, w...

How And Where Will The US Proceed With Regard To Gun Control?

In the wake of the Uvalde school shooting, much of the US is urging action on gun control. However, significant obstacles and some new ones have emerged that could impact any reform moving forward. After a young man shot and killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, another similar tragedy unfolded at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The Sandy Hook shooting prompted calls for national gun reform, which led to an emotional plea for action from US President Barack Obama. However, efforts to advance gun-control legislation in Congress were unsuccessful. Following the deaths of 19 children and two adults in Uvalde, President Joe Biden has called on national politicians to take action. In a speech he echoed statements made ...

Tired Of Being Forced To Be ‘Sexistized And Invisible,’ Asian Artists Are Changing The Narrative.

In most of the Western art that is classified as ethnic, Asian women are usually depicted simply as one-dimensional characters -- sometimes likened to ingratiating supplicants, and at times regarded as exotic, hypersexualized creatures. Such representations fail to portray the diversity found across cultural backgrounds. The show "Wonder Women" seeks to allow more brash and unconventional representations, particularly in the depiction of Asian American and diasporic women. Susan Szpyra and Kathy Huang are the curators of this show at the Jeffrey Deitch gallery in New York. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Huang expressed her interest in being fetishized and invisible in pop culture, referencing Genny Lim's poem "Wonder Woman." In her poem, the narrator is observing t...

E.L.V. Denim-Acquired Shirting Is Perfect For Summer.

Anna Foster launched E.L.V. Denim in 2018, aiming to tackle the enormous amount of waste and pollution created by the denim industry by creating jeans that are 100 per cent upcycled. Now, the designer is determined to take on other areas of our wardrobe – starting with shirts. In a recent interview with Vogue, Foster stated that she was inspired by her visit to one of her wholesalers. “I couldn’t quite believe it really,” she said. “So I came back with an armful of shirts and went, ‘Right, we’re doing this now.’” The brand’s signature approach to upcycling has been applied to its new collection of shirts. The second-hand garments have been cut in half, with the salvageable parts stitched together to create a unique piece featuring contrasting stripes. Available in four colo...

Bella Hadid Wears That Mythical Tom Ford-Era Gucci Dress.

At the premiere of Les Bonnes Étoiles, model Bella Hadid wore a curve-skimming white dress from the autumn/winter 1996 collection. The garment featured a hip cut-out that revealed a metal buckle from the archive of Lab2022, and made its debut on Carolyn Murphy at Gucci's autumn/winter 1996 show. This is not surprising as it is not the first time that Hadid has worn archival Gucci pieces to Cannes – she has previously been seen in covetable vintage pieces. With a history shrouded in mystery, this specific vintage dress has become an object of fascination for many collectors. Though it is rumored to have been designed by Vera Neumann, attempts to track down the original designer have proved fruitless. Prices for vintage iterations of this dress range from $15,000 to $20,000. No...

High-ranking Chinese officials were also present, including Premier Li Keqiang, who urged authorities to take action in sustaining jobs and reducing unemployment.
