        Israeli Army Demolishes Palestinian Homes - West Bank

        The Israeli Civil Administration and Israeli border police demolish a home in the village of Al-Jawaya, located in the Masafer Yatta region of the southern West Bank on May 7, 2024. The forces cleared the house out, blocked the family from entering the premise, and then demolished the two-story home with one bulldozer and two excavators. The house was home to a family of eleven, including nine children. Since October 7th, the only access road to Al-Jawaya has been closed off by the Israeli military. Palestinians living in Area C of the West Bank are required to apply for a building permit in order to build or modify any structure on their property. Civil Administration, who is responsible for processing the permit applications, denies 98% of the requests. Therefore, a large majority of homes, barns, schools, bathrooms and water wells in Area C are subject to demolition orders from the Israeli military.

Qiong Opera could be traced back to a century ago in Dingan County in this southern Chinese island, which is referred to as Qiong in abbreviation. The opera, now deemed a traditional heritage, had once lost its attraction to most youngsters due to the impacts of pop culture until recent years when the Dingan County Qiong Opera Troupe managed to reinvent it by drawing inspiration from other schools of traditional opera as well as folklore stories. Fresh bloods including Chen Kehan and Lin Fang are also being injected into the Troupe as Qiong Opera regains its popularity in the county. Chen's family has been working for the Troupe for three generations, while Lin started to learn the opera at age of six. Various kinds of activities are also being held at primary and secondary schools in the county so that the students ther

                      Michelin Rolls Out Its Own Global Living Wage

                      File photo dated March 18, 2005 shows Michelin logo in Marseille, France on March 18, 2005. After realizing that the minimum wage in its home country left some workers at breaking point, French tire-maker Michelin has taken matters into its own hands to give employees a hefty pay raise. Michelin is rolling out its own living wage to its 132,000 employees, the company said in a press release shared with Fortune and first reported by French publication Le Figaro. The 134-year-old group, which makes heavy-duty tires for construction and freight-handling companies, has set living wages for employees based on their location to correlate with living costs. The calculation for the living wage was also made based on what employees needed to provide for their family’s “essential needs.” Photo by Gerald Holubowicz/ABACAPRESS.COM
