Hear me out.Lights brighten a room literally, plants brighten a room emotionally.A room can look absolutely boring and dead with just four plain walls and some furniture.Add a plant or two to the mix, however, and the room literally comes to life.The hint of greenery from the plant just adds a little zest to any interior, no matter whether it's minimalist, nordic, maximalist, bohemian, or midcentury.

Now we get to see if May will either serve as a brand new, late-season start or if the continuation from a brutal month of April is extended into the final stretch of the 2022-23 campaign.For Juventus, the hope is that it's the former.But the reality tells us that the latter is just as possible as Door No. 1 knowing how the month of April just went.

When I think about the last four months of Juventus football, two words come to mind: unsustainable reaction.When, for what now feels like an impossibly brief stint, Juventus were on a good run, there were many who called the form fool's gold.The team didn't look great, but they were winning.Something happened over the World Cup break and winter holidays; the team was galvanized, and the results started tilting ever more favorably, to the point where we were briefly dreaming of Champions League qualification even with the penalty.

T hat wind is from the North, I know it well;No other breeze could have so wild a swell.Now deep and loud it thunders round my cell,Then faintly dies,And softly sighs,And moans and murmurs mournfully.I know its language; thus is speaks to me I have passed over thy own mountains dear,Thy northern mountains and they still are free,Still lonely, wild, majestic, bleak and drear, And stern and lovely, as they used to be When thou, a young enthusiast,As wild and free as they,O'er rocks and glens and snowy heightsDidst often love to stray.I've blown the wild untrodden snowsIn whirling eddies from their brows,And I have howled in caverns wildWhere thou, a joyous mountain child,Didst dearly love to be.The sweet world is not changed, but thouArt pining in a dungeon now,Where thou must ever be;No voice but mine can reach thine ear,And Heaven has kindly sent me here,To mourn and sigh with thee,And tell thee of the cherished landOf thy nativity.'Blow

When the NBA playoffs come around, LeBron James usually activates what he has dubbed "Zero Dark Thirty-23" mode, in which the Lakers star logs out of social media for the duration of the postseason to focus even more fully on basketball.With an exception in the 2020 NBA bubble - when social media was his main connection to the outside world - James has done this every year while his team is alive during the postseason since 2013.

Putin is losing two wars: the one in Ukraine and the one over the World War II narrative.Victory Day was one of the most important celebrations across the Soviet Union.Moscow chose to celebrate the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945 on May 9, a day later than the West, because it was already past midnight in the Soviet capital when the instrument of surrender was signed in defeated Berlin.

Ukraine has protested what it described as "categorically unacceptable" bans against the transit of its agricultural produce through neighboring Poland, as the war continues to challenge produce routes out of the country.The Foreign Ministry said on Saturday that it sent a formal note to the Polish and European Union representatives in the country a day before regarding the bans.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded their three days of meetings in Moscow on Wednesday, where they referred to each other as a "dear friend."They discussed a range of regional and international issues, and both leaders highlighted the important "strategic partnership" between China and Russia, and they also exchanged views on the 12-point "peace plan" on the Ukraine war released by the Chinese government last month.

Victory Day, celebrating the Soviet Union's vanquishing of Nazi Germany in 1945, is Russia's most important secular holiday, although it is toned down this year as the war in Ukraine drags on.More than 20 cities, some thousands of miles from the battle lines, said they would forgo military parades, and organizers canceled a popular nationwide march honoring veterans.
