Anyone who can remember their childhood well probably also remembers being proud of themselves in many moments. The many first times of having accomplished and achieved something, be it at school or with newly learned skills, not only gave you this emotion yourself, but it was often conveyed to you from outside that you were really proud of yourself can be yourself.

Should we rename the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which takes place every December 3? Transform it into International Day of Disabled Women? What is certain is that they are largely in the majority in France. A reality which contradicts the received idea that disability results from risky behavior and dangerous working conditions, and therefore concerns men more.
Women in fact represent 56% of disabled people aged 16 or over and living at home, according to the latest data from INSEE, dating from 2018. This is more than their share in the French population (52%).
But this over-presentation is quite logical. The risk of being disabled actually increases with age. However, women, having a higher life expectancy (85 years compared to 79 years), are more numerous in the older age groups.
However, aging is not enough to explain everything. Of the…

Keep from stress As You Left Apparently very little, because the German quintet only presented its first album ten years following it was founded. However, people were happy to wait for this, because the previous small formats had already shown quite impressively that something pleasantly unique and independent was brewing here. The mix is called Blackened Metalcore and it sounds exactly as you would expect. „Silver Chains Golden Veins“ is a full-length, tailor-made debut.
The melodic poison of “Blades Turning” skillfully brings together the worlds that seem to be endlessly far apart. Furious, hoarse barking and gripping clear vocals come together, classic metalcore melodies receive an oppressive blackened treatment in installments. This game with the Nordic worlds comes through particularly well in the final act. The way “Lost Dreams” hints at lost, post-apocalyptic riffs and conjures up a washed-out shooting castle from them commands a lot of respect. In a completely unexpected way, very different ideas come together and inspire together.
This is exactly what is evident in the opening “Oblivion”. An overly long intro is a bit deceptive here, because as soon as As You Left explode out of the starting blocks, you think you’re looking at an explosive post-black mixture that succumbs more and more to common core concepts. Five and a half minutes of destruction, highly exciting solo approaches and a crushing finish put you in a good mood. “Laws Of The Ancient” also features a prominent lead guitar that keeps pushing forward as melodic black metal collides with modernity. And then there’s “Malevolent Deceit”, which perfects the core influence and juxtaposes it with extremely toxic nagging – a powerful combination.
After the first big wow effect, what actually belongs together comes together. With rare exceptions, As You Left put clichéd metalcore expectations aside, require comparatively little vocals and instead define themselves through biting to drooling heaviness. And it works great, because “Silver Chains Golden Veins” is incredibly fun. The omnipresent nastiness and danger of the album is convincing across the board and actually brings together two genres that you might not necessarily have expected together. With their first album, As You Left hit an exciting direct hit, which at the same time still leaves some room for improvement. You like to stay on the ball.

The incident occurred during a resupply mission of a Philippine ship on a sandbank in the Spratly Islands, a flashpoint of conflict between Manila and Beijing, a day following another incident.
On both occasions, the Chinese ships “used water cannons and reckless maneuvers, even forcing a collision that damaged Philippine ships carrying out official supply missions to those places, and endangering the safety of the Filipino crew,” the text states.

In the previous incident that occurred on the Scarborough sandbar, the ships “also used acoustic devices, incapacitating the Filipino crew,” he added.

“These actions reflect not only a reckless disregard for the safety and livelihoods of Filipinos, but also for international law,” Miller added in the note.
The Philippines and China have a long history of maritime incidents in the disputed South China Sea, including two previous collisions.
Beijing claims almost all of these waters, including waters and islands near the shores of other neighboring countries, and has ignored a ruling by an international court that ruled its claims have no legal basis.
China deploys ships to patrol the busy sea lane and has built artificial islands with a military presence to bolster its claims.

Miller added that the court’s 2016 ruling “is final and legally binding with respect to the PRC and the Philippines,” referring to the acronym for the People’s Republic of China, its official name.
“The United States calls on (China) to abide by the ruling and desist from its dangerous and destabilizing behavior,” the statement said.
“The United States supports our Philippine allies in the face of these dangerous and illegal actions,” adds the spokesperson and clarifies that the mutual defense treaty between the United States and the Philippines “extends to armed attacks on the Philippine armed forces, official vessels or aircraft. , including those of its Coast Guard anywhere in the South China Sea,” explained the senior official.
Relations between Manila and Beijing have deteriorated under President Ferdinand Marcos, who has sought to improve ties with his traditional ally the United States and oppose Chinese actions in the South China Sea.
