North Korea hits Pompeo for 'thoughtless' comments, warns hopes for talks are dimming

North Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui denounced Pompeo’s “thoughtless” comments and cautioned that the U.S. shouldn’t put North Korea’s “patience to the test” if officials want to see a mutually satisfactory agreement between the two nations, The Associated Press reports.

“Our expectations of dialogue with the U.S. are gradually disappearing and we are being pushed to re-examine all the measures we have taken so far,” Choe said in a statement carried by state media.

“We are very curious about the background of the American top diplomat’s thoughtless remarks and we will watch what calculations he has. The U.S. had better not put any longer our patience to the test with such remarks irritating us if it doesn’t want to have bitter regrets afterward,” Choe added.

Choe’s comments come after Pompeo said Tuesday that the Trump administration recognized that “North Korea’s rogue behavior could not be ignored.”

“Americanism — it means telling the truth about the challenges we face,” Pompeo said. “Look, this administration didn’t pretend that the Islamic Republic of Iran was a responsible actor in the Middle East. We called out China’s bad behavior on trade and on national security. We recognized that North Korea’s rogue behavior could not be ignored.”

Washington has urged Pyongyang to dismantle its nuclear program, but talks have not advanced since a summit in Vietnam in February ended early without a deal.

Prince Harry and Prince William Are the Receding Hairline Heroes We Deserve in 2019

But though it’s not the popular choice (yet) among younger men, a few are taking balding in stride — Prince Harry, for example. The 34-year-old, like his older brother, is slowly but surely losing his ginger locks, transforming before our very eyes into a dashing young Ron Howard.

Other (relatively) younger balding men include Dwayne Johnson, 46, and Jason Statham, 51. Let the record show that one of the two of these men was named People’s Sexiest Man alive in 2016, so.

According to a report from Grand Review research, the hair loss market is expected to become a $11.8 billion industry by 2024, and that makes sense considering 62 percent of balding men in a recent Spanish study said that losing their hair contributes to lack of self-confidence. But with Prince William and Prince Harry leading the charge, perhaps not everyone will feel compelled to deny their baldness. 

After all, confidence is sexy, and confidence is a key part of owning your hairless dome. Don’t just take it from me. Last week, The Cut published an article titled, “Why Would Any Man Not Want to Be Bald?” complete with this reflection from writer Edith Zimmerman: “[Baldness] is so attractive, it boggles my mind.” We concur. 

To be clear, this is not a knock against any man who decides, for their own reasons, to give hair plugs a try. To the 42 men that have shimmied their hairlines forward an inch or two, do you! But for those who are noticing that their hairs seem to be in retreat, at least consider letting them be. Hairline diversity is not a bad thing. 

Demi Lovato Knocks Instagram for a Fat-Shaming Ad on Her Feed

Sure, we’ve got a long way to go until we can comfortably say that society is no longer placing pressure on women to look and act a certain way — but we’ve made progress! Er, at least so we thought.

On Friday afternoon, Demi Lovato lifted the curtain to reveal that, lo and behold, there are still plenty of companies out there capitalizing on women’s insecurities about their bodies, looking to exploit their fears for a buck or two. The singer posted a screenshot to her Instagram story of an ad that showed up on her Instagram feed, imploring the app to do better in monitoring the kind of content that is shown to impressionable young users.

The ad, for a game called Game of Sultans, shows two cartoon women placed side-by-side, with the left showing a woman labeled “obese” and the right a woman labeled “pretty.” 

“Why is this fat shaming bullshit on my feed?” Lovato wrote over the image. “So many things wrong with this ad. 1. You can be ‘pretty’ at any weight.”

Lovato, who is in recovery from an eating disorder and has been candid about her struggle to accept her body, also called out the use of the word “controlled” that was used to describe the thinner woman, noting how eating disorders are often “all about control.”

She concluded with a plea to Instagram to be more cognizant of the kinds of materials they’re promoting, as well as a diss toward the game itself. “With how aware people are becoming of mental health and mental illnesses, I expect you guys to know better by allowing this advertisement to be allowed on your app. And shame on the game.” 

TMZ reports that the ad has since been removed from the app, according to a rep for Instagram. “We’re sorry. This ad was approved by mistake,” the company told the outlet. “We reviewed it again and removed it from future delivery in people’s feeds.” 

Though she’s been relatively quiet on social media since her release from rehab after her drug overdose in July, Lovato’s decision to speak up about body image is in line with her previous advocacy for the body positivity movement. And she’s got support. 

Kim Kardashian retweeted Lovato’s message with a simple statement: Three clapping hand emoji. Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. 

Prince Harry Just Gave the Sweetest Speech About His Future as a Father

“As someone who is about to become a father, I am acutely aware of our shared responsibility to make this world more resilient and its inhabitants more accountable for the next generation,” Harry told the crowd, according to Entertainment Tonight. “The only way to see real progress is not by chance, it’s by change.” 

Harry also referenced the other Commonwealth countries he and his wife, Meghan Markle, visited this fall, after announcing they were expecting their first baby. 

“In all of these places, it’s been incredibly humbling to see how young people like yourselves are creating innovative and clever solutions to the diverse challenges you face — whether it be better mental health for everyone, eradicating extreme poverty and improving access to education for girls, or highlighting the very real effects and daily battles of climate change,” he said. 

The Duke continued his impassioned speech by highlighting the significance of mental health — a focus that is near and dear to his heart. “All health is interconnected — our mental health, our planet’s health, the health of our communities,” he said. “We do no survive, and certainly do not thrive without the acknowledgment and understanding that in addressing one problem, we are paradoxically solving another.”

From what we gather, Harry is going to be a very hands-on dad. 

Melania Trump Either Wore a Very Expensive Pink Coat or a Bathrobe

 It could just be the latest in a long line of Melania statement coats. She’s worn white Gucci, that infamous Zara jacket, and a less controversial army jacket, all of which sparked speculation from every corner of the internet.

Melania has made statements through color before, too. While it’s not clear what hot pink could mean for U.S.-Columbian relations, she did attend last year’s State of the Union address in white, which may or may not have been in support of women’s suffrage. Back in 2017, Melania had another hot-pink moment, when she wore a blazing neon Delpozo dress to speak on child hunger. That time around, she drew criticism because her dress cost $2,950 and she was saying that “no child should ever feel hungry.”

One thing’s for sure — Melania’s not afraid to make a fashion statement.

Though all three of these rom-coms will go down as films that defined the genre, Matthew’s latest thriller, Serenity, has not fared as well. (The Washington Post decried it as having “all the appeal of microwaved nachos.”) Perhaps now’s the time for a romantic comedy comeback, Matthew. Alright, alright, alright?

David and Victoria Beckham Were Seen Being “Very Touchy” on Their Recent Date Night

Victoria Beckham had a special person by her side while celebrating this week — her husband David Beckham!

The two stepped out to tout her Reebok x Victoria Beckham collaboration at a party in New York City on Tuesday night, which the couple’s oldest child Brooklyn, 19, also attended with his girlfriend Hana Cross.

According to a source, David, 43, was an attentive and supportive husband at the party while Victoria, 44, celebrated her collection.

“David was by Victoria’s side the whole night,” the sources tells PEOPLE. “They were very touchy and flirty with one another.”

The Beckhams will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this summer after tying the knot at a sprawling castle in Ireland on July 4, 1999.

David previously opened up about their marriage and why being married for so long can be challenging.

“To have been married for the amount of time that we have, it’s always hard work,” David, 43, said on the Australian TV show The Sunday Project. “It becomes a little bit more complicated.”

David also mentioned the couple’s children: daughter Harper Seven, 7, and sons Cruz David, 13, Romeo James, 16, and Brooklyn Joseph, 19.

“Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference, and I’ve noticed that with my children,” he said. Reflecting on media attention, he added, “The thing we have to do is protect our children.”

Red Bull Snowthrill Monterosa 2006: appuntamento il 13 marzo!

Da lunedì 13 marzo a Gressoney prende il via il Red Bull Snowthrill Monterosa, il più importante evento di sci freeride che tornerà a far vibrare i pendii del Monterosa.














Gressoney chiama il Red Bull Snowthrill: ready to ski! Il 13 marzo, per la prima volta in Italia, arriva il Red Bull Snowthrill!

Dopo due anni di attesa finalmente il sogno diventa realtà: il più prestigioso contest di scii freeride del mondo sta per avere inizio sui pendii del Monterosa. La valle di Gressoney è stata imbiancata per 4 giorni consecutivi. Il risultato sono 100 cm di fresca sulla quale i rider potranno dare sfoggio delle loro abilità e stile.

Sui 500 metri di dislivello di pendii perfettamente innevati, gli atleti si provocheranno a suon di salti, drop e grab, e magari ci regaleranno l’emozione di un backflip, per far vibrare veramente il Monterosa-Ski.

L’arrivo dei rider è previsto per domenica 12, ma il primo giorno di gara è fissato per il 13 marzo. Non sappiamo ancora quanti giorni effettivi durerà il contest – in quanto legato alle condizioni della fresca – possiamo comunque annunciarvi i nomi dei rider che si contenderanno il titolo di re del freeride, aggiudicandosi la vittoria del Red Bull Snowthrill del Monte Rosa 2006.

Cd-Rom Database Avventura

E’ uscita la guida alpinistica in Cd-Rom dell’Associazione il Montemondo Onlus

E’ uscito, a cura dell’Associazione il Montemondo Onlus, il Cd-Rom di Database Avventura, un originale periodico di montagna che si differenzia sia nella forma sia nei contenuti da quelli a cui siamo abituati.

Si tratta, infatti, di una guida alpinistica che unisce la praticità del CD Rom con la consueta valenza comunicativa del supporto cartaceo. In pratica un archivio indicizzato per aree geografiche, gruppi montuosi, sottogruppi e cime in cui ciascun itinerario è presentato attraverso schede storiche e complete note tecniche.

Il Cd-Rom Database Avventura è una versione offline della banca dati universale SIMON che permette di raccogliere informazioni omogenee e congrue per qualsiasi area montana, ed inserire aggiornamenti secondo gli standard qualitativi della gestione documentale.
