ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Patty and it's about eating out. Here's her email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I was at a restaurant with my husband and a few friends over the weekend. We brought my 1 year old, who sat at the table with us. He of course dropped some food and other things on the ground over the course of our meal. We ate our food, paid our bill, and got ready to leave. As we were walking away, one of my friends stopped us and says "aren't you going to pick up after your child?" I couldn't believe she said that. I get we're at a restaurant, but he's a child. He didn't mean to leave scraps on the ground. She said I should've taken the time to pick up what was dropped so the waitress doesn't have to. I think it's the waitress's job to clean up. Was I out of line or was my friend wrong to say anything? Thanks so much.PattyI don't know if Patty's friend should have sai...

Ask Amy: Women may throw a parade for widower

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:19:48 GMT

Dear Amy: I am an almost 70-year-old widower (politically liberal and atheist) who wants to meet new people. Especially female people.Unfortunately, I have almost no experience.I had a total of two dates in high school, both of which went nowhere.I became very good friends with my best friend’s wife (friend-in-law?), and when they divorced, she and I got married.So when it comes to wooing and flirting, I’ve got nothing.It’s been four years since my wife died, and I have had zero possible romantic encounters. My only teacher has been rom-com movies, which I am told do not portray real life. Sadly, I was planning my run through the airport already, but now I’m lost.Where should I go to meet a possible romantic interest?— No Game in DenverDear Denver: Assuming that you are respectful, presentable, self-supporting — and that you can still drive at night — I’ll paraphrase a line from “Sleepless in Seattle” and say, basically, that the available women will th...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:19:48 GMT

The distribution of adult participation rates in formal and non-formal learning during the last 4 weeks at the regional level (NUTS 2 regions) tends to be very homogeneous within EU countries, reflecting national rather than regional education and training initiatives. In 2022, 96 out of 240 regions had participation rates equal to or above the EU average of 11.9%. This group included every region of Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Slovenia, Finland and Sweden, as well as Estonia, Luxembourg and Malta (all single regions at this level of detail).At the top of the list, there were 24 regions where at least one-quarter of people aged 25 - 64 participated in education and training during the four weeks prior to the survey. In 8 regions of Sweden, the participation rates were higher than in any other region in the EU, peaking at 38.1% in the capital region of Stockholm. This group also included all 5 regions of Denmark and 9 out of the 12 regions in the Netherlands, with the h...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:19:48 GMT

At the end of April 2023, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a resolution on the deportation and forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia. The first time that an international document refers to  possible genocide by Russia against Ukrainians with reference to the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, writes Alona Lebedieva.The illegal deportation of minor citizens of Ukraine to Russia is the type of crime for which the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for president Putin and the Russian Commissioner for Child's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova.Twenty percent of the entire child population of Ukraine now has its consciousness formed under the influence of Russia. The adopted resolution states that a large part of Ukrainian children was taken to Russia to summer camps, where their “re-education”, in particular, “Russification”, was conducted.In these camps, children were forbidden to speak U...

Review: Jodie Foster is the standout in ‘Nyad’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:19:48 GMT

By Jake Coyle | Associated PressIn “Nyad,” there are two feats of perseverance on display. First, there is the ceaseless determination of Diane Nyad (Annette Bening) to accomplish a marathon swim from Cuba to Florida across 103 miles of open, shark-infested waters. Then there is the mettle of Nyad’s support team to tolerate the singularly self-absorbed and stubborn Nyad. Both, in the film, are an endurance sport.“Nyad,” which opens in limited theaters Friday and streams Nov. 3 on Netflix, is in many ways a conventional sports drama, defined by long odds and personal triumph. But there is enough here to help the film, directed by the intrepid filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, if not swim against the tide of sports-biopic convention then at least ride a swift current to the finish line.First and foremost there’s the fact that this is a sports drama led by two actresses in their 60s: Bening and Jodie Foster, who plays Diana’s...
