У Дніпрі відкрили мініскульптуру, присвячену місцевому артефакту
У Дніпрі відкрили дев’яту мініскульптуру проєкту «Відчуй Дніпро». Цього разу скульптура присвячена місцевому артефакту – відомій катеринославській цеглі.
Об’єкт розташували біля історичної будівлі Кафмана в центрі міста, повідомляє кореспондент Радіо Свобода.
Цеглу в краї почали виготовляти понад 200 років тому. У середині ХІХ століття в губернії діяло більше сотні цегляних заводів. Катеринославська цегла впізнавана – вона дуже міцна і має червоний колір.
Усього в Дніпрі тепер – дев’ять мініскульптур. Усі вони присвячені місцевим явищам та об’єктам – вболівальникам футбольного клубу «Дніпро», печиву «Дніпро», історичному трамвайчику, космічній ракеті, Амурському мосту.
Автор проєкту «Відчуй Дніпро» Карен Агаджанян каже, що цього року в Дніпрі з’явиться ще сім мініскульптур. Їхні назви поки що тримають у секреті.
У травні в Дніпрі офіційно відкрили муніципальний Музей історії міста. Зокрема, там можна побачити відому катеринославську цеглу, з якої будувалося місто в ХIХ столітті.

Analysis: Is Biden Summoning ‘Strategic Patience’ With North Korea?
As the stalemate between the United States and North Korea persists, some experts are wondering whether the Biden administration is returning to the Obama-era policy of strategic patience.Ken Gause, director of the Adversary Analytics Program at CNA, thinks the U.S. could “by default” end up in strategic patience, which he described as a “kind of status quo and which is the comfort zone for the United States.”Strategic patience refers to the Obama administration’s lack of action after a deal to freeze and disable the Yongbyon reactor collapsed in 2012.Gause added, “After that fell through, they really didn’t try to go back to the negotiating table. … The Biden administration is made up of a lot of people that served in those administrations, and probably, their latitude for trying new things with North Korea is probably somewhat limited.”Others argue that Biden’s North Korea policy differs from Obama’s, citing the administration’s willingness to engage North Korea.”The Biden administration, in contrast to the Obama administration, [has] expressed public concern about North Korea’s nuclear development and recognized that it cannot be kicked down the road too far,” said Scott Snyder, director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy at the Council on Foreign Relations.U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price on Thursday reiterated that the U.S. is ready for dialogue with North Korea.”When it comes to the United States, our goal continues to be the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” Price said. “We are prepared to engage in diplomacy toward that objective.”Price continued: “We have made clear to them that Paramilitary forces parade to mark the 73rd founding anniversary of the republic at Kim Il Sung square in Pyongyang in this undated image supplied by North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency.”The Biden administration faces adverse circumstances around its efforts to engage with North Korea — in the form of North Korea’s domestic economic stress, the pandemic and North Korea’s internal political rectification campaign,” Snyder said.North Korea faces a slew of issues, including “North Korea leader Kim Jong Un attends a paramilitary parade held to mark the 73rd founding anniversary of the republic at Kim Il Sung square in Pyongyang in this undated image supplied by North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency, Sept. 9, 2021.Anthony Ruggiero, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the U.S. should not lift sanctions before North Korea makes a move toward denuclearization.”Since 1994, the Kim family has convinced American presidents to provide significant sanctions relief and other benefits for the promise of North Korea’s denuclearization,” Ruggiero said. “And each time, the Kim family has failed to deliver.”Ruggiero continued: “Biden should change his approach and increase the pressure on North Korea by implementing existing sanctions.”Some analysts warned that North Korea could return to brinkmanship to put pressure on the Biden administration.David Maxwell, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said North Korea’s demand for sanctions relief will continue in a form of “blackmail diplomacy, which is really about using threats, increased tensions, in provocations.”Repetition of past provocations such as border clashes, Yeonpyeong Island attacks, and missile and rocket tests could occur, according to Maxwell.

Newsom, GOP Rivals Seek Votes in Recall’s Final Weekend
Democratic allies of California Governor Gavin Newsom continued to express confidence Saturday in his chances of beating back a recall but warned his supporters to keep urging people to vote as they seek a decisive win, while Republicans said the contest is far from settled. “We don’t need to just win by a little, we need to win by a lot. We need to send a message: Hands off our democracy, hands off our California,” said April Verrett, president of the SEIU Local 2015, as she rallied union members who have been among Newsom’s biggest supporters. Newsom joined the Oakland rally as his Republican rivals made their cases up and down the state and both major parties sent volunteers out to knock on doors and urge their supporters to vote. The race concludes Tuesday, and more than a third of voters have mailed in their ballots or voted early in person. Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, one of the GOP candidates, voted Saturday morning in his home city. Poll shows Newsom with edgeA recent poll from the Public Policy Institute of California shows Newsom likely to survive, and Democrats are making a stronger showing in early voting. But the GOP is expecting a larger turnout on Election Day, given many Republicans are skeptical of voting by mail. “Anyone who is counting the recall out at this point is not really in touch with what’s actually going on with this movement,” said Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who is running to unseat Newsom and is favored by some of the recall’s original supporters. The ballot includes two questions: Should Newsom be recalled from office and, if so, who should replace him? If a majority of voters want him gone, he’d be replaced by whoever gets the most votes among the 46 candidates on the replacement ballot.

Newsom called the numbers encouraging and attributed it to more Democrats becoming aware of the recall as it winds to a close. Still, he said he’s taking nothing for granted. He’ll spend the next few days campaigning in Southern California, and on Monday he’ll be joined by Democratic President Joe Biden. He stuck to his closing message that the race could have profound consequences beyond California, calling it a contest of “outsize consequences.” He and other Democrats have likened it to former President Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election and have charged Republicans with pursuing a recall because they can’t win a normal election. Californians haven’t elected a Republican statewide since 2006. “The recall is about catching you while you’re sleeping,” he said. “This recall is about getting us in an off year, in an off month, while no one else is paying attention.” The recall made the ballot through a process that’s been in the California Constitution for more than a century. Originally the recall was likely to be held in October or November, but Democrats in the state Legislature sped up the process to allow for an earlier election. GOP objectionsRepublicans angry with Newsom’s policies on immigration, crime and a host of other issues sparked the recall drive, but it took off during the coronavirus pandemic. Organizers got more than 1.7 million signatures to place it on the ballot. That’s less than a tenth of registered voters. “Gavin Newsom has failed Californians. From surging crime to a broken unemployment department and raging wildfires, our state deserves better than this governor’s serial incompetence,” California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson said in a statement. She was out Saturday knocking on doors in Los Angeles County. Meanwhile, the union leaders who rallied alongside Newsom pointed to his pandemic policies as lifesaving measures for home health care and other essential workers. They also applauded him for increasing providers’ pay, which was cut under former Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the winner of the 2003 recall. The Service Employees International Union has donated more than $2.5 million to Newsom’s campaign, and unions collectively are his biggest financial backers. Beyond campaigning, several candidates marked the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Larry Elder, who is considered the Republican front-runner, attended 9/11 commemorations and a lunch with homeless and disabled veterans, and John Cox and Kiley also attended anniversary events. Before his campaign stop, Newsom visited the Wall of Heroes memorial at the California National Guard’s headquarters.

Aid Programs Reduced Hunger in US in 2020, but Racial Disparities Worsened
A huge increase in federal food aid kept the number of U.S. households considered “food insecure” from rising during 2020, despite the economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. But a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that more than one in 10 U.S. households was short of food at some point last year, and that racial and regional disparities in hunger increased despite the surge in federal aid.Now, however, with the pandemic surging back throughout the country, the assistance programs that prevented an untold number of American families from facing food shortages last year are beginning to expire, raising the possibility that more Americans could soon find themselves going hungry.The FILE – Dylan Pfeifer uses a lift to move a box filled with donated canned and boxed foods to his home in Chandler, Ariz., April 3, 2021, to safely store the items until they are given to St. Mary’s Food Bank.On top of direct food assistance, the federal government authorized the extension of unemployment insurance benefits as well as a $300 weekly supplement to those benefits.The USDA study did not specifically tie increased benefits to the fact that hunger rates remained stable during the pandemic, but anti-hunger groups said the connection was clear.“The fact that the numbers around overall hunger in America did not drastically increase shows that the route and the steps that the federal government and that the Congress and administration took throughout the year were the right approach, and that our nutrition programs work,” said Eric Mitchell, executive director of the Alliance to End Hunger.Racial disparities found While the overall numbers paint a picture of an effective pandemic response, the details demonstrate that there are significant holes in the social safety net lawmakers tried to augment last year.FILE – Elizabeth Ruiz, 7, spells out “God Bless U” as she and her mother, Daylin Lemus, of Adelphi, Md., wait to receive a Catholic Charities distribution of food at Northwestern High School, in Hyattsville, Md., May 5, 2020.The rate of food insecurity among white, non-Hispanic households actually decreased during the pandemic year, from 7.9% to 7.1%. However, among Black households, food insecurity affected 21.7% in 2020, an increase from 19.1% the previous year. The rate of food insecurity also rose in Hispanic households, but the change was not statistically significant.Overall, a Black household was more than three times as likely to suffer food insecurity in 2020 as a white household. Hispanic households were 2.4 times as likely to be short on food as white households.(The USDA report codes the race of a household by determining the race of a single “reference person,” typically the owner of the residence or the person whose name appears on a rental agreement, and does not break out multiracial households.)Regional and household differencesThe survey also found that rates of hunger in the Northeast, Midwest and West all fell year-over-year, though the drop was statistically significant only in the Midwest. In the South, however, hunger rose by a statistically significant amount, from 11.2% in 2019 to 12.3% in 2020.Households with children were significantly more likely to face food insecurity than the average, at 14.8%, and that percentage rose to 15.3% if any of those children were under 6 years old.FILE – City worker Randy Greice, foreground, unloads a pallet of food at a distribution event in Opa-locka, Fla., Oct. 6, 2020.“The disparities were there prior to COVID,” said Mitchell, “If anything, [the pandemic] exacerbated those disparities … and made them even more alarming.”Aid programs set to expireThis month, many of the programs that allowed Americans to keep food on the table through the first 20 months of the pandemic are beginning to expire. The enhanced unemployment benefit payment ended as of this week, and Congress failed to extend a moratorium on evictions that had been preventing people behind on their rent from losing their homes.The expanded SNAP benefit will expire at the end of this month, as will the program providing some low-income families access to fresh foods.”Congress and administration need to come together to find solutions to be able to extend the changes that were implemented or, better yet, make them permanent,” said Mitchell. “There’s potential for this to happen in Washington, but we’re going to have to create the political will to make it reality.”While combating hunger is a bipartisan issue in Congress, there is significant disagreement on how to do it. Many Republicans in Washington object, for example, to a large spending bill being pushed by Democrats, which would make some of the new social safety net spending permanent.Representative Kevin Brady of Texas, the top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, released a statement Thursday saying, “President Biden, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats are ramming through trillions of wasteful spending and crippling tax hikes that will drive prices up even higher, kill millions of American jobs and drive them overseas, and usher in a new era of government dependency with the greatest expansion of the welfare state in our lifetimes.”Many Democrats support further safety net expenditures, including robust federal efforts to guarantee food security. Representative Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat, recently tweeted, “We have the ability to prevent hunger in America — it’s a policy choice.”
