    What we’re covering
    • Zelensky in Washington: European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, as he meets with US President Donald Trump this afternoon. Trump said Zelensky must agree to some of Russia’s conditions — including that Ukraine cede Crimea and agree never to join NATO — for the war to end.

    • Potential security guarantees: At last week’s summit with Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to allow security guarantees for Ukraine and made concessions on “land swaps” as part of a potential peace deal, US envoy Steve Witkoff told CNN. Zelensky suggested that such guarantees would need to be stronger than those that “didn’t work” in the past. Russia has yet to mention such agreements.

    • On the ground: Zelensky condemned Russia’s latest strikes across Ukraine, which killed at least 10 people, saying the Kremlin intends to “humiliate diplomatic efforts” and underscores “why reliable security guarantees are required.”

    It’s no secret how President Donald Trump feels about sports teams turning away from Native American mascots. He’s repeatedly called for the return of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians, claiming their recent rebrands were part of a “woke” agenda designed to erase history.

    But one surprising team has really gotten the president’s attention: the Massapequa Chiefs.

    The Long Island school district has refused to change its logo and name under a mandate from New York state banning schools from using team mascots appropriating Indigenous culture. Schools were given two years to rebrand, but Massapequa is the lone holdout, having missed the June 30 deadline to debut a new logo.

    The district lost an initial lawsuit it filed against the state but now has the federal government on its side. In May, Trump’s Department of Education intervened on the district’s behalf, claiming the state’s mascot ban is itself discriminatory.

    Massapequa’s Chiefs logo — an American Indian wearing a yellow feathered headdress — is expected to still be prominently displayed when the fall sports season kicks off soon, putting the quiet Long Island hamlet at the center of a political firestorm.

    The district is now a key “battleground,” said Oliver Roberts, a Massapequa alum and the lawyer representing the school board in its fresh lawsuit against New York claiming that the ban is unconstitutional and discriminatory.

    The Trump administration claims New York’s mascot ban violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients of federal funds from engaging in discriminatory behavior based on race, color or national origin — teeing up a potentially precedent-setting fight.

    The intervention on behalf of Massapequa follows a pattern for a White House that has aggressively applied civil rights protections to police “reverse discrimination” and coerced schools and universities into policy concessions by withholding federal funds.

    “Our goal is to assist nationally,” Roberts said. “It’s us putting forward our time and effort to try and assist with this national movement and push back against the woke bureaucrats trying to cancel our country’s history and tradition.”

    That insight is part of the value of having kids play with dolls that have disabilities, said Dr. Sian Jones, co-founder of the Toy Box Diversity Lab at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, Scotland.

    Jones and her colleague Dr. Clare Uytman study how playing with dolls and toys with a range of physical challenges can reduce systemic inequality for disabled people.

    It’s based on a theory of mirrors and windows by Rudine Sims Bishop, a professor emerita of education at Ohio State University. Bishop realized that having diverse characters in books was good for all kids: It helps children from minority groups see themselves mirrored in the lives of book characters, and it gives kids a window into the lives of others, helping them build empathy.

    Jones says that when kids play with dolls that have mobility challenges, for example, it helps them identify and understand the struggles of people with disabilities whom they meet in real life.
    “Barbie in a wheelchair cannot use the doll’s house in their kindergarten classroom, so they have to build a ramp in order for her to be able to access the door to their doll’s house, for example,” said Jones, who lives with cerebral palsy.

    When she started her work incorporating disabled dolls into school curricula, Jones said, there were few available for purchase. She mostly had to make them herself. Now, she can buy them from big companies like Lego and Mattel, “which is wonderful.”
    Mazreku says the work to design the doll was well worth it. She recently got to bring one home to give to her 3-year-old daughter.

    “I brought Barbie home to her and gave her a chance to interact with her and see her things,” Mazreku said. “And she looked at me and she said, ‘She looks like Mommy.’ And that was so special for me.”

    Her daughter doesn’t have type 1 diabetes, she said. “But she sees me every day, living with it, representing and understanding and showing the world and wearing my devices confidently, and for her to see Barbie doing that was really special.”

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House on Thursday could be his final chance to convince a receptive American president of his country’s war aims.
    [url=https://megaweb-20at.com]megaweb8.com[/url]
    The precise details of the “victory plan” Zelensky plans to present in separate meetings to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are unknown, having been closely held until they are presented to the American leaders.

    But according to people briefed on its broad contours, the plan reflects the Ukrainian leader’s urgent appeals for more immediate help countering Russia’s invasion. Zelensky is also poised to push for long-term security guarantees that could withstand changes in American leadership ahead of what is widely expected to be a close presidential election between Harris and former President Donald Trump.

    The plan, people familiar with it said, acts as Zelensky’s response to growing war weariness even among his staunchest of western allies. It will make the case that Ukraine can still win — and does not need to cede Russian-seized territory for the fighting to end — if enough assistance is rushed in.

    That includes again asking permission to fire Western provided long-range weapons deeper into Russian territory, a line Biden once was loathe to cross but which he’s recently appeared more open to as he has come under growing pressure to relent.

    Even if Biden decides to allow the long-range fires, it’s unclear whether the change in policy would be announced publicly.

    Biden is usually apt to take his time making decisions about providing Ukraine new capabilities. But with November’s election potentially portending a major change in American approach to the war if Trump were to win, Ukrainian officials — and many American ones — believe there is little time to waste.

    Trump has claimed he will be able to “settle” the war upon taking office and has suggested he’ll end US support for Kyiv’s war effort.

    “Those cities are gone, they’re gone, and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal, Zelensky. There was no deal that he could have made that wouldn’t have been better than the situation you have right now. You have a country that has been obliterated, not possible to be rebuilt,” Trump said during a campaign speech in Mint Hill, North Carolina, on Wednesday.

    Comments like those have lent new weight to Thursday’s Oval Office talks, according to American and European officials, who have described an imperative to surge assistance to Ukraine while Biden is still in office.

    As part of Zelensky’s visit, the US is expected to announce a major new security package, thought it will likely delay the shipping of the equipment due to inventory shortages, CNN previously reported according to two US officials. On Wednesday, the US announced a package of $375 million.

    The president previewed Zelensky’s visit to the White House a day beforehand, declaring on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly his administration was “determined to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to prevail in fight for survival.”

    “Tomorrow, I will announce a series of actions to accelerate support for Ukraine’s military – but we know Ukraine’s future victory is about more than what happens on the battlefield, it’s also about what Ukrainians do make the most of a free and independent future, which so many have sacrificed so much for,” he said.

    The Goodsons didn’t start out intending to build a home. The couple scoured the southern Maine housing market for nearly two years striking out time after time. трипскан сайт “We put in offers on probably half a dozen houses well over asking and were perpetually beat out by people who were paying cash coming up from Boston or New York” Goodson said. “The housing stock was nonexistent to say the least.” https://tripscan.info трипскан House-hunting in cities comes with the same problem. When Tim Buntel and Cynthia Graber started looking for homes in Somerville Massachusetts they kept finding condos listed for far more than they were worth. “They were often very expensive and they were flips” Graber said. “Developers come in they take old properties and do a lot of things that are pretty in their eyes. And it’s really crappy quality.” Massachusetts is one of the costliest states in which to buy a house. The greater Boston market has remained stubbornly expensive with low inventory clashing with high demand. Graber and Buntel eventually found a property with an old cottage they considered renovating. But after several sky-high quotes from architects they decided to demolish it and build a new home with Unity. “It was more flexible for our urban setting” Buntel said. “Bringing the panels in on a flat pack and assembling them here was just more feasible given the constraints of the streets and the neighborhood.” Unity Homes started with the intent to offer quality sustainable homes at a lower price point than the bigger custom homes built by its parent company Bensonwood. The final price can range widely depending on how big the customer wants to go or whether it comes with features like a porch or a garage – anywhere from 300000 for its smallest home up to 900000 or just over 1 million for its biggest builds. BrightBuilt’s houses range from 275000 to over 2 million Meyer said.

    Unity a brand of custom home company Bensonwood is one of several companies in New England building homes in a factory. It’s a modern spin on the 1900s Sears Roebuck catalogue of mail-order houses now with energy efficiency front of mind. трипскан сайт Companies like Unity and Maine-based BrightBuilt Home offer several basic designs that owners can customize. At Unity much of the design is done ahead of time before the house’s walls windows and doors are assembled inside the company’s Keene New Hampshire factory then wrapped tightly in reusable plastic and put on a truck bed. Once it’s on site a panelized house can be built in a matter of days. It is a very different model from traditional “stick-built” home construction where the structure is built “stick by stick” on site and can take months to finish all the while leaving wood and materials exposed to rain snow and wind. https://tripscan.info трипскан вход “There’s a logic to building a structure in a climate-controlled environment. That really resonates with a lot of folks” said Parlin Meyer managing principal for BrightBuilt Home. The number of factory-made homes still pales in comparison to traditional stick-built homes in the United States — just 3 of all single-family homes as of 2024 according to the National Association of Home Builders. The trend is much more popular in Europe; in Sweden most new homes are built in factories. “That’s been relatively flat for a number of years” said Devin Perry an assistant vice president at the National Association of Home Builders. “But anecdotally there seems to be momentum behind that method of construction and people looking for energy efficient options.” Three New England companies specializing in factory-built and energy efficient homes told CNN they are seeing a rise in interest. Prefabricated homes used to be associated with cheap poorly made housing but that has changed.
