After the city of Kabul fell to the Taliban over the weekend, thousands of Afghans have been attempting to flee the country. More than one C-17 aircraft belonging to the U.S. military took off from Kabul airport on Monday. At least one of them was carrying 640 Afghan evacuees in the cargo hold, according to defense officials. The exact C-17 aircraft in question was involved in a security breach at the Hamid Karzai International Airport, according to a media statement from Ann Stefanek, chief of media operations for the Air Force....

On their website, Airbnb makes its stance on the surveillance of guests by hosts very clear: “We require hosts to disclose all security cameras and other recording devices in their listings, and we prohibit any security cameras and other recording devices that are in or that observe the interior of certain private spaces [such as bedrooms and bathrooms], regardless of whether they’ve been disclosed.” That clause, however, has not deterred all Airbnb hosts from the ethically murky practice of monitoring their guests, either by using vague language to “disclose” devices in arguably non-private spaces, not disclosing the cameras’ specific locations, or disregarding the rule altogether....

The company first announced plans to go public in September 2019 but had put plans on hold earlier this year due to the detrimental impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the hospitality industry. Wednesday’s announcement does not specify the number of shares that Airbnb will offer, or the price range of the shares in the IPO, which will take place after the completion of an SEC review process. The move comes amid signs of a potential comeback for the company as the hospitality industry continues to struggle....

The background Rahane has been one of the vital players for India in Tests in the recent past. Unsurprisingly, he’s the vice-captain of the team in the longer format. However, Rahane hasn’t been able to replicate the same kind of play in the shorter formats. He last played an ODI against South Africa a year ago, back in February 2018. The details Though India’s team for the World Cup 2019 is almost ready, Rahane still hopes that he will feature in the squad that goes to England....

Ajinkya Rahane had a moderate outing in the series, but even that was below-par compared to his usual standards. It is now reported that the Mumbai batsman may feature in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy. In case you didn’t know… Ajinkya Rahane scored 257 runs across 10 innings in the just-concluded England-India series. Two of the ten stints were 50+ scores. Apparently, that was not enough for the player to get a slot into the Indian squad selected to visit the UAE for the Asia Cup, which starts on September 15th....

Al Anzi wrote in a tweet: “What’s right is right, the system and the rules are with you, the match has to be replayed, everyone spoke about that after the game.”

Al Rayyan opened the scoring in the 17th minute via Abdul Majeed Anad, but Al Ahli equalized in the 32nd minute, and the first half ended with a 1-1 scoreline.

Beginning Wednesday, DeSantis will appear in the Club for Growth’s latest TV ad for Lee, a Republican whom the governor said will “help get America back on the right path forward.” Although Lee is poised to win against independent Evan McMullin, the PAC has spent as much as $8 million on the race.

But BMI isn’t an accurate marker of health risks, especially for people of color. For example, Asians and Asian Americans generally have lower BMI values than White people, who BMI was designed to serve. As a result, the unadjusted BMI chart tends to underestimate the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes in Asian populations. Without considering factors like body fat percentage and muscle mass, measuring weight alone doesn’t tell the full story about one’s health status....

However, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, showrunner Jac Schaeffer revealed that the powerful witch was initially meant to be an ally for Wanda, mentoring her through her journey to becoming the Scarlet Witch. Seems like it wasn’t Agatha all along, after all, as the initial concept for the series cast Agatha in a more “mentor and magic-expert” role.
