Trump made record gains with Latino vote Donald Trump made record gains with Latino vote. OAKLAND, Calif. – One of the big drivers in President-Elect Donald Trump’s victory was the Latino vote. Trump received 46% of the Latino vote compared to 35% four years ago, an Associated Press poll shows – the most support Latinos have ever shown a Republican presidential candidate. And that’s despite repeated calls for mass deportations and falsely calling Mexicans “in many cases, criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc.” He has also said that immigrants “poison the blood” of this country. California has nearly 16 million Hispanic…

Earlier this year, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) published a report highlighting several business opportunities in Zimbabwe’s agriculture sector. 1. Fruits and vegetables Zimbabwe’s horticultural output aligns well with seasonal gaps in Western markets. Crops like blueberries and mangetout, for example, reach global export markets during prime windows, giving Zimbabwean producers a first-mover advantage over competitors and allowing them to capture slightly higher prices during the Western off-season. Zimbabwe also has a competitive edge in floriculture, thanks to its diverse and highly suitable climate, which supports a wider range of floral varieties than can be grown as successfully in…

What a difference a year makes.In 2023, the Florida State Seminoles were one of the best teams in college football. They went 12-0 during the regular season, won the ACC, and probably would have been in the four-team College Football Playoff if starting quarterback Jordan Travis had not been injured. Despite missing out on the playoffs, and then getting blown out in their bowl game, the Seminoles still entered 2024 as a preseason top-10 team with ACC championship expectations. They are not going to come close to matching them, and with Saturday’s 52-3 loss at No. 10 Notre Dame, their season…

GENEVA, Switzerland – Alcohol consumption is draining economies in the WHO European Region, costing billions annually in health care, early deaths and lost productivity, as well as social harm.

In 2019 alcohol was responsible for almost 1 in every 3 injury deaths in the region, 42 percent of all homicides, 37 percent of suicides and 35 percent of road deaths. Despite this enormous social and financial burden, the true costs of alcohol are often obscured by profit-driven narratives. Today, WHO/Europe launches the Alcohol…
Why go to St. Kitts? It’s just a tiny speck in the Caribbean Sea – less than half the size of the Isle of Wight – and over 4,000 miles from the UK.Well, good things come in small packages, they say, and that’s certainly true of this little jewel of an island, the larger part of the twin-island federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. It has an 18-mile-long spine of green mountains stretching down to beaches that shade from golden to dramatic black volcanic sands. If lazing on a beach doesn’t appeal, how about a rainforest adventure, a rum-tasting tour,…
