Father’s Day notes from the field
I never played a musical instrument — never thought I was capable of it — but their interest sparked my own. Your kids look up to you and wholeheartedly trust that you are perfectly kind, wise, generous, and loving. Before you know it, you’ve become a better version of yourself. When someone says “My kids saved me” or “My kids made me a better person,” that’s what they mean. At the end of the day, you always know where your priorities lie.

Rural people enjoying urban amenities due to PM’s leadership: Palak
NATORE, June 16, 2024 (BSS) – State Minister for Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak today said the country’s rural people are now enjoying urban amenities because of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s farsighted leadership. He said this while addressing a discussion marking the inauguration of a newly constructed building of Maheshchandrapur Community Clinic at Singra in the district. Palak said the government is implementing “My Village, My Town” programme to reach urban amenities to villages. He said the government has carried out massive development in all sectors including education, health, power generation, infrastructural development and ICT. Later, the state minster distributed cash money, dry food and corrugated iron sheets among recent cyclone-affected 180 families of different unions of the upazila.

Lessons on follow-through from a father to son
On Saturday mornings during Little League season, my father dragged my older brother and me away from cartoons to teach us how to throw a baseball. My father insisted we learn the ‘correct’ technique, which meant raising the arm to a perfect 90-degree angle, hand tilted back as if carrying a small coffin. This infuriated our father, and, just as he did inside our home for the smallest of trespasses, he exploded. Through years of teaching forehands, backhands, volleys and serves, I inadvertently learned the sport’s foundational mechanics — especially the importance of the follow-through — and their necessity. While I have tried teaching my son, Macallah, now 12, tennis for years, sometimes it has been frustrating for both of us.

Kansas lawmakers poised to lure Chiefs from Missouri
TOPEKA, Kan. — A 170-year-old rivalry is flaring up as Kansas lawmakers try to snatch the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs away from Missouri even though economists long ago concluded subsidizing pro sports isn't worth the cost. The Kansas Legislature's top leaders endorsed helping the Chiefs and professional baseball's Kansas City Royals finance new stadiums in Kansas ahead of a special session set to convene Tuesday. But for Kansas officials, spending would at least leave Missouri and come to Kansas, and one-upping Missouri has its own allure. "They're sources of great pride," said Missouri state Rep. John Patterson, a suburban Kansas City Republican expected to be the next state House speaker. Despite the legislative push in Kansas, Missouri lawmakers aren't rushing to propose alternatives.

Israeli army announces 'tactical pause' in part of southern Gaza
JERUSALEM, June 16, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - The Israeli army announced Sunday that it would implement a daily "tactical pause of military activity" in part of the southern Gaza Strip during daylight hours to facilitate the delivery of aid. The army said in a statement that "a local, tactical pause of military activity for humanitarian purposes will take place from 08:00 until 19:00 every day until further notice along the road that leads from the Kerem Shalom Crossing to the Salah al-Din Road and then northwards". The decision was taken as part of efforts to "increase the volumes of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip" following discussions with the UN and other organisations, it said. Israel has long defended its efforts to facilitate aid deliveries, including through the Kerem Shalom crossing, but humanitarian groups have warned for months about a dire lack of food and other essentials in the besieged Palestinian territory. The World Health Organization has said more than 8,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition in Gaza.

England progress as Australia beat Scotland
The result means that defending champions England will proceed to the second round of the T20 World Cup in their stead. Needing a win, they were sent in to bat at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia on Saturday. With four deliveries to go, Tim David launches one to midwicket, down the throat of Chris Sole. They played well against Namibia and Oman and the washing out of their game against England put the rivals on equal standing. Australia, meanwhile, will feel a surge of confidence in topping a competitive group with relative ease.
