(São Paulo, April 12, 2023) –  Brazil should not impose an arbitrary cutoff date that curtails the land rights of Indigenous peoples, Human Rights Watch said today in a letter to Solicitor General Jorge Messias. His office should immediately review a harmful legal opinion that Indigenous communities cannot obtain formal recognition of their lands if they were not physically present on them on October 5, 1988, the day Brazil's Constitution was enacted, or if they had not initiated legal claims by that date.

When I entered college, I had little understanding of my degree program. Sociology is not as popular as psychology, biology, chemistry, or accountancy. My knowledge about it was superficial. I simply defined it as a 'study of society.' And although I made it sound like a big hit, I did not love it. Sociology made me feel tiny standing side by side with other degree programs on campus. Today, I have learned to love it. The journey of loving sociology, however, was bumpy and back-breaking. It was not, I must admit, for the faint of heart.

Method Step 1 To make the crust, stir the flour, salt and sugar together in a large bowl, ideally one with a flat bottom. Add the butter pieces on top of the dry ingredients. Using your fingers, toss the butter in the dry mixture so each cube is coated. Step 2 Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut or rub the butter into the mixture until the pieces are a bit larger than peas (a few larger pieces are okay; be careful not to over-blend). You want to be able to have big butter chunks in your crust: It helps create a flaky effect, as well as adding delicious buttery hits of flavour.

The life of a Brazilian waxer is never dull; in fact, sometimes it's downright disgusting. Let's just say I've had more than a few projectiles fly at my face during my 9-to-5.

He was equally elegant while playing wristy shots through the midwicket region. GT's Shubman Gill during his 56 v MI at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad yesterday. Pic/AFP Overcoming middle-over miseries, the big-hitting Gujarat Titans batters exploited the death-over weakness of Indians to post a challenging score of 207 for six at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Tuesday. At the time of going to press, MI were 58-3 in 10 overs. While conceded 70 runs in last four overs, the middle-over woes for Gujarat Titans also continued as the Indians spinners choked them while chipping away with three key wickets to counter opener Shubman Gill's 56 (36 balls, 7x4,1x6) was a calculated assault and he employed pleasing cricketing shots.

If you think of alcohol and Japan, then the first thing that springs to mind is sake – but there are other alcoholic drinks too, one of which comes from the island of Okinawa! Awamori is an alcoholic drink which is also known as shimazakae, or island sake. It dates back hundreds of years, not quite as old as sake which is at least 1300 years old, but not soon after the start of agriculture in Okinawa. Using long grain indica rice, the origins of the Awamori brewing technique can be found in Thailand, and even today as local production of this rice is not sufficient indica rice from Thailand is imported to make this celebrated drink.
