Thousands of Cubans took to the streets on Sunday to protest a lack of food and medicine as the country undergoes a grave economic crisis aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic and US sanctions.
由於新冠疫情和美國制裁，加劇了古巴的嚴重經濟危機，數以千計的古巴人在週日走上街頭，抗議食品以及藥品短缺。

Demonstrators complained about a lack of freedom and the worsening economic situation during the rare protests. Many chanted for "freedom" and called for President Miguel Díaz-Canel to step down.
在罕見的抗議活動中，示威者抱怨缺乏自由和不斷惡化的經濟狀況。許多人高呼「自由」，並呼籲總統狄亞士卡奈下台。

Multiple protesters were arrested by police, who used tear gas to break up some demonstrations. There were also violent clashes, where protesters turned over a police car and threw rocks at officers.
警方使用催淚瓦斯來驅散一些示威活動，並有多名示威者被逮捕。現場還爆發警民暴力衝突，示威者推翻警車並向警方丟擲石頭。

Now Cuba says it will allow travellers arriving in the country to bring in food, medicine and other essentials without paying import duties.
現在古巴當局表示，將允許入境古巴的旅客攜帶食物、藥品和其他必需品，而且不需要支付進口稅。

Travellers to Cuba can currently bring up to 10kg of medicine into the country tax-free. However, they must pay customs duties on the limited amount of food and personal hygiene supplies they are allowed to bring in. However, the measure is only temporary.
前往古巴的旅客，目前最多只能攜帶10公斤的藥品，免稅入境。但是他們必須針對允許攜帶入境的有限食品和個人衛生用品繳納關稅。不過這項措施只是暫時性的。

Several cities and counties in China have halted COVID19 inoculations in the last three days due to a tight supply of the jabs, which some say is being aggravated by Beijing’s focus on donations and exports to pursue vaccine diplomacy.

Hello Youtube family

Today’s Vlog:
Do The Robot Dance!
It’s Snot Hair!
Why Not?
Lucid Dreaming


These few days, I’ve either been running after Isaac with a tissue or running away from him from smearing his mucus on me. It got to a point that I just let myself use my sleeve to wipe the guy's nose. He gets so aggravated so I have to swipe like a ninja because he knows when I reach for a tissue. He's still very cheerful compared to his father who is struck down with the same thing. We like to call it man flu. We’re quite excited since we got a lot to look forward to this month. We’ll be saying hello to our new home and new car soon! Can't wait to share with you guys soon. The best part is, hopefully Chubbi and Domo will be joining us next month too!! *throws glitter*

Love, the Bubz family xo

Hello Youtube Family,

Today’s Vlog:
Just kill me now,
Literally, CRAP!
How to wake Tim up,
I hated my husband.


The article I was talking about: http://www.scarymommy.com/no-one-ever...

Tim and I really spent the first year being constantly aggravated by each other. I thought it was worth a mention because I don’t feel like the post-baby relationship is talked a lot. Maybe some of you already have kids so you understand. Maybe some of you would like to become parents one day. We thought we had our relationship down so perfect and we had no idea how the baby storm would hit us. As the writer mentioned, when 2 suddenly becomes 3, it takes time to navigate a whole new relationship. Nobody is comfortable with change at the beginning. It took time for us to adapt. I’m sure there are many couples who face forward harmoniously but for the most of us- adjusting it is a challenge. Some moments I will miss the moments where life used to be just about us two where we didn’t have a care in the world. It makes us cherish the times we get alone even more but at the same time, we now LOVE life as a family. I love seeing him come home after a long day with FOOD. I love watching him clothe Isaac after I bath him. I love chilling in bed as a family (all 5 of us) in the mornings. I love how there is never a dull moment in the home.

Greetings from Northern Ireland!! Believe it or not, it took me 4 days to attempt to upload this video and it stopped at 58% (no joke). I got so fed up with the connection at my parents that I resorted to uploading elsewhere. Being back is lovely of course but I'm missing the family so much. Getting the new house more sorted by the day so it's gonna be worth it!!

Love, Bubz xo

The Clippers gave absentee coach Mike Dunleavy the perfect remedy for his balky backache.


With assistant coach Tony Brown orchestrating the show, the Clippers used a strong fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 104-88 on Thursday night in the NBA's final game of the decade. Chris Kaman had 26 points and 10 rebounds, as all the Clippers' starters scored in double figures.

Dunleavy, who aggravated a herniated disc in his back while getting ready to go to Staples Center, remained home and watched on TV as his team shot 55 percent from the field and 10 for 16 from 3-point range.

"He was in a lot of pain, and he's been fighting a flu bug," said Brown, who had only about 5 hours notice. "He mentioned that he was having some trouble that caused him to get some treatment for his back, and his sneezing really escalated the back issues. But I talked to Mike again before I came in here, and he was quite happy with the win."

This was the third time Brown has been placed in this emergency role during his 11 seasons as an NBA assistant coach, and the third time he's won. It also happened with the Boston Celtics, when Doc Rivers had to leave the team suddenly because of a death in the family, and again with Milwaukee when Larry Krystowiak's wife went into labor with twins.

"Everything we ran tonight was stuff that we've been running," Brown said. "It was short notice, and I wasn't going to go through an old playbook of mine and confuse the guys. So I didn't use any of Doc's stuff. I didn't expect to be coaching tonight, but it feels good to get a win. We really needed it."

Baron Davis had 20 points and seven assists for the Clippers and Marcus Camby contributed 14 points and 10 boards. Los Angeles completed a season sweep of the 76ers after losing both meetings in each of the previous two seasons.

Lou Williams led Philadelphia with 19 points and Elton Brand had 17 in his first road game against the Clippers since he left town as a free agent. The 76ers, coming off victories over Portland and Sacramento, still haven't won three in a row this season.

"We just had a lapse, a mental lapse," Brand said. "We didn't get rebounds and we didn't have the toughness that we had the last two games. We had the lead, but we couldn't keep it. In the third quarter, we started out of synch. They got easy bucket after easy bucket, and we were behind the 8-ball."

Los Angeles fell behind by as many as 13 points after Brand intercepted a pass by Sebastian Telfair and converted the turnover into a breakaway dunk with 2:46 left in the first quarter to cap a 19-4 run. But the Clippers sliced the margin to 51-49 by halftime, as Kaman led all scorers with 16 points despite missing nine of 15 shots.

Los Angeles pulled ahead for good at 55-52 on a 3-pointer by Rasual Butler with 9 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter and extended the margin to 78-63 on another 3 by Camby with 6.6 seconds left in the period.

"The intensity was way up, which is something that we hadn't had in a while," Brown said. "Our third quarters have been normally been slow-starting for us and giving teams a chance to stretch leads. But I think we did a really good job defensively on their perimeter guys, making them take tough contested shots.

"Then we got some timely shots by Rasual Butler, and Baron just carried us down the stretch with his timely shots and playmaking skills."

Brand, who signed a five-year, $80 million contract with the Sixers in July 2008 after he opted out of his Clippers contract, came off the bench for the ninth straight game. When he reported in with 3:18 left in the first quarter and Philadelphia leading 25-16, he was booed lustily by the crowd of 15,257.

"It was definitely strange, playing on the other side here. It was kind of surreal," Brand said. "I mean, there were a few plays where they did something good, and I wanted to give Kaman a high-five. But it's been a long time since I left, so it was a lot easier."

Brand holds the Clippers franchise record with 4,710 rebounds. After he left, Dunleavy accused Brand of backing out of a verbal agreement to return to the Clippers and never giving an explanation. Davis signed with Los Angeles as a free agent prior to that, with the understanding that he would play with Brand.
