Ukraine's wedding dress industry is alive and well despite the war
CHERNIVTSI, Ukraine - American bride-to-be Nona Griffin fell in love with the first wedding dress she tried on in a small bridal shop where she lives in Dublin."I was like, yes, this is the dress. It has really intricate embroidery on it - the details are just really special," she told NPR over the phone. Griffin had brought her mom along, who wanted to make sure the dress wasn't made somewhere like China. That's when they found out it was from Ukraine. It was the last week of December."She was, like, 'I don't know what we're going to do if Russia invades Ukraine,'" says Griffin. "The dress shop owner said that's not gonna happen. She said you're crazy, basically, and we just kind of laughed it off."Griffin says she was seized with guilt when the invasion did happen. She felt superficial for worrying about whether she'd get her dress on time when Ukrainians were fighting a war. But dress designer Yana Bashmakova understands Griffin's feelings perfectly."It's normal," she says. "It's the one day in the life of the bride. And it's very important to receive the dress on time."Thirty-three-year-old Bashmakova runs a dressmaking business along with her husband Alexandr Marandyuk, in Chernivtsi, a western Ukrainian town near the Romanian border that was once the wedding dress capital of the Soviet Union. As the war shatters Ukraine's economy, many businesses are going bankrupt. But others that anticipated the conflict and adapted have found new opportunities. That is the case for Bashmakova and Marandyuk, and their wedding dress company, which is called Giovanna Alessandro - an Italianized combination of the couple's first names. At their factory showroom and workshop, seamstresses lean over tables piled with white satin and lace. Sewing machines hum. Giovanna Alessandro exports all over the world, but that wasn't always the case. When they started their business in 2009, countries from the former Soviet Union were their market. That all changed in 2014, the year of the Maidan uprising in Kyiv, when Ukrainians ousted their pro-Kremlin president. Russian President Vladimir Putin responded by annexing Crimea, and fomenting and arming a separatist revolt in Ukraine's Donbas region. Marendyuk says that's also when Russia's propaganda machine really geared up. This couple says the current war really started in 2014."I felt the aggression of the dress shop owners we worked with in Moscow and it was unacceptable for me," he says. "I told them, you're calling me fascist and telling me we have Nazis in Ukraine but you're ordering my dresses?"Bashmakova remembers going to a bridal show in Moscow in 2015."When they saw my passport, I always had problems," she says. "Everything would be OK until I pulled out my Ukrainian passport. Then I could wait two or three hours in a hotel lobby to get my room number or key. And I waited hours to get gas if they saw Ukrainian license plates.

How can this post have zero comments? 😢😢😢RIP another brave police officer looses his life like countless others to protect and serve! Yet the far left loons believe all cops are bad and chant constantly about how we need to “Defund the police!!!” Makes me sick!!🤬🤬🤬
Tearing 😢 up, not tearing (ripping up). Crap AI - a human paid to narrate would not have made this error.
right, I'm sure there would also be an apology Video if something was said about White People.. We are too nice to black people. Most Black People want white people to go extinct, so I wouldn't be apologetic for anything..
How can you make a video that uses nothing but footage bearing no relation whatsoever to the content?
Very true. Post Civil War, he rejoined the U.S. Army with the rank of Major General and led the U.S. Calvary of the U.S. Army 5th Corp. in the Spanish American War. His troops distinguished themselves in battle. Colored troops among those who served under his command.

Yes it is. We know this and NOTHING this cult says can stop Truth from coming out. And we know what the graphene oxide is for. Because millions and millions of us understand this is an occult and spiritual war being waged on this planet.
but its true tho
Im not even going to watch the video but the title is misleading. While true, orthodox Christians might tend to lean more conservative in some things, thats not what the church is. The church is the church. We arent right wing or left wing. And priests have turned plenty away from catechesis if they arent trying to become orthodox for the right reasons which is for christ. Non denominational evangelical mega churches guaranteed have far more right wingers that practically worship politicians more than Jesus. The Orthodox Church is full of diversity and is the Church. Not a political affiliation
They will learn greater mercy if they truly give themselves to living the faith.
Converting from political reasons doesn’t have good spiritual results. I predict this authoritarian clique among converts will not bear fruit.
Unbelievable!

People are bitten across the country, but some cities use biting dogs far more often than others. There’s no national database of police dog use and who is bitten. Our reporting found bites in nearly every state, though data from more than 50 police departments shows the numbers vary widely by city. Police in Chicago almost never deploy dogs for arrests and had only one incident from 2017 to 2019. Washington, D.C., had five. Seattle had 23. New York City, where policy limits their use mostly to felony cases, reported 25. By contrast, Indianapolis had more than 220 bites and Los Angeles reported more than 200 bites or dog-related injuries. The Sheriff’s Department in Jacksonville, Florida, had 160 in this period. Bites can cause life-altering injuries, even death. Dogs used in arrests are bred and trained to have a bite strong enough to punch through sheet metal. Their bites can be more like shark attacks, according to experts and medical researchers. When they are used on people, they can leave harrowing scars, torn muscles and dangerous infections. A woman’s scalp was torn in California; a man’s vocal cords were damaged in Colorado; an Arizona man’s face was ripped off. Occasionally, someone dies after an encounter with a police dog. Most recently, a 51-year-old handyman bled to death after being bitten by a police dog in Montgomery, Alabama, in 2018. Many people bitten were not violent and were suspected of minor crimes-or no crime at all. While many police agencies say they use dogs only to capture people accused of violent crimes or when officers are in danger, our review of bites around the country found the dogs are frequently used in minor cases: traffic violations, shoplifting, mental health checks, trespassing and running from police. Most bite victims are men, and studies suggest that in some places, they have been disproportionately Black. Investigations into the police department in Ferguson, Missouri, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have both found dogs bit non-White people almost exclusively. A statistical study found that police dog bites sent roughly 3,600 people to emergency rooms each year from 2005 to 2013; almost all were male and Black men were overrepresented. Police officers sometimes can’t control the dogs, worsening injuries. Even when dogs are trained to release their bites with a verbal command, they sometimes don’t let go. While training experts say bites should last seconds, we found numerous cases that lasted minutes as handlers struggled to pull off the dogs. Some experts said that makes injuries worse, tearing flesh as the dogs are pulled away. There’s little accountability or compensation for many bite victims. Excessive force lawsuits over dog bites are difficult to win. Police officers are often shielded from liability, and federal civil rights laws don’t typically cover bystanders who are bitten by mistake. It can also be hard for someone who pleads guilty or gets convicted of resisting arrest, or a similar crime, to file a lawsuit. Even when victims can bring cases, lawyers say they struggle because jurors tend to love police dogs.
