How this 1967 Vietnam war protest carried the seeds of American division

On the final day of a three-day  Eid al-Fitr  ceasefire, the Taliban said they would resume fighting, despite President Ashraf Ghani's announcement that the government was extending its own ceasefire with the group by 10 days.

The more I told myself this, the more I received exactly that feeling, the feeling of not being enough. All of that changed when I truly understood the law of attraction.

Brexit Bill becomes law

The Bill has undergone more than 250 hours of acrimonious debate in the Houses of Parliament since it was introduced in July 2017. A Bill enacting Britain’s decision to leave the European Union (E.U.) has become law after months of debate, the Speaker of Parliament announced on Tuesday to cheers from Conservative Party lawmakers. Speaker John Bercow said the E.U. (Withdrawal) Bill, which repeals the 1972 European Communities Act through which Britain became a member, had received royal assent from Queen Elizabeth II. The Bill transfers decades of European law onto British statute books in a bid to avoid any legal disruption. March 29 is the day It also enshrines Brexit day in British law as March 29, 2019 at 11 p.m. (4.30 a.m. IST) — midnight Brussels time, defined by the end of the two-year Article 50 withdrawal process. The Bill has undergone more than 250 hours of acrimonious debate in the Houses of Parliament since it was introduced in July 2017. Eurosceptics celeb...
