German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the number of migrants coming to the country had pushed it to “breaking point,” as he called for a fairer European system of migrant distribution.“Germany, like Italy, is at the limit of its capacity,” Steinmeier said in an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera on Wednesday ahead of a visit to Italy. “Italy and Germany have heavy loads to bear,” he said, adding that “Germany has already accepted more than 1,000 refugees from Italy within the previous voluntary solidarity mechanism, more than any other European state. In the negotiations on the common European asylum system, a permanent solidarity mechanism” should also be created “so that it does not remain solely with this voluntary system.”“In the first half of this year alone, 162,000 people applied for asylum in Germany — more than a third of all applications within the EU,” Steinmeier sai...

(CNN) — A shoe belonging to a child and dating back more than 2,000 years has been unearthed in Austria with its laces still intact.The design of the leather shoe, whose size roughly corresponds to EU 30 (US 12), suggests it was likely made in the 2nd century BC, according to the German Mining Museum Bochum-Leibniz Research Museum for Geo-resources.The shoe was excavated by archeologists in the western village of Dürrnberg, where rock salt mining took place from as early as the Iron Age, it said in a recent press release.The salt, which is particularly good at preserving organic remains, is thought to have kept the shoe in extremely good condition.“Our research activities at Dürrnberg have been providing us with valuable finds for decades in order to scientifically explore the earliest mining activities. The condition of the shoe found is outstanding,” Professor Thomas Stoellner, head of the Research Department at the German Mining Museum, said in the press release.Excavation w...

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 01:45:06 GMT

By John Warner, Chicago TribuneI have spent the entirety of the 53-plus years I’ve been on this Earth immune to the lure of inspirational self-help books.When it comes to inspiration to be better, I tend to respond with “Nah, I’m good.”I’m a secure, well-adjusted human — or maybe I’m just lazy.

As a Black woman, she looks to the Harlem Renaissance, the Sugar Hill district, and icons like baseball players Buck Leonard and Josh Gibson for inspiration in her craft.Beatty has always wanted to share her beers – and the unique stories they honor – with drinkers at GABF, but was unsure if she’d fit in with the “big guys” who typically serve there. This year, however, Beatty jumped at the opportunity to pour on the festival floor after learning there would be an area dedicated to brewers of color.Harlem Brewing Co. will be one of five booths in the first National Black Brewers Association Pavilion, which will inhabit 360 ...
