(CNN) — No hay nada que le guste más a una madre primeriza que que le digan cómo complacer a su marido, ¿verdad?Esta semana, una ciudad japonesa aprendió por las malas lo equivocada que estaba tras desatar la indignación nacional por unos folletos que intentaban precisamente eso.La ciudad de Onomichi, en la prefectura japonesa de Hiroshima, realizó una encuesta pública en 2017 que se utilizó para crear folletos para mujeres embarazadas que luego se distribuyeron a los residentes locales, según el sitio web del gobierno de la ciudad.“Existen diferencias en la forma de sentir y pensar de hombres y mujeres”, rezaba uno de los folletos. “Una de las razones es la diferencia estructural en los cerebros de hombres y mujeres. Se sabe que los hombres actúan basándose en teorías, mientras que las mujeres actúan basándose en emociones”.“Lo importante es entender las diferencias de cada uno y repartir bien los papeles”, añadía, antes de afirmar que a lo...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:33:00 GMT

The Mets played until nearly midnight, battling through a lightning delay and torrential downpours for nearly two hours Thursday night at Citi Field. When they resumed play in a tie game in the bottom of the eighth with one out and the bases loaded against the Nationals’ Kyle Finnegan, Mark Canha gave them all they needed with a fly ball to right field that was deep enough to score Pete Alonso.Alonso came sliding in just ahead of the tag to help the Mets (48-54) defeat the Nationals, 2-1.Every win is crucial for the Amazins’ right now and this one was no different. The Mets have continued a frustrating pattern of taking steps forward, only to take more of them back, since the All-Star break. They’ve been no closer to reaching their goal of getting into the Wild Card mix, but they have a chance to gain ground this weekend against lowly Washington.In the first game of the series, the last one before Tuesday’s trade deadline, one of Washington’s future sta...

The storm plowed into the eastern province of Fujian on Friday morning after bringing heavy rains and gale-force winds to parts of Taiwan, especially the Penghu island group, also known as the Pescadores.

At least 13 people were reported killed earlier due to Doksuri’s onslaught, mostly due to landslides, flooding and toppled trees, and thousands were displaced, disaster response officials said. More than 20 others remained missing, including four coast guard personnel whose boat overturned while on a rescue mission in hard-hit Cagayan province, disaster response officials said Friday.The storm caused widespread power outages and agricultural damage in the archipelagic country and prompted the suspension of work, classes and se...

NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Two days after mutinous soldiers ousted Niger’s democratically elected president, it was still unclear Friday morning who was running the country and what mediation efforts were underway, as analysts warned that political chaos could set back the fight on extremist groups and increase Russia’s influence in the region.On Thursday, several hundred people gathered in the capital, Niamey, and chanted support for the Russian private military group Wagner while waving Russian flags. Later, they burned cars and ransacked the headquarters of the president’s political party. “We’re fed up,” said Omar Issaka, one of the protestors. “We are tired of being targeted by the men in the bush … Down with the French people. We’re going to collaborate with Russia now,” he said. The soldiers have not announced a leader and President Mohamed Bazoum, who was elected two years ago in Niger’s first peaceful, democratic transfer of power since its independence from Fra...
