First Person: Discovering the reality of life in Iraq

“At the United Nations, there are two worlds: Headquarters and the field. United Nations Headquarters in New York is our mothership. In iconic rooms such as the General Assembly Hall and the Security Council Chamber, our Member States make decisions that affect people across the globe. Meanwhile, the field is where those decisions are felt most acutely. It’s where you find our peacekeeping missions, our vital humanitarian operations, our mediators engaging in shuttle diplomacy.

In the summer of 2021, I was deeply enmeshed in the world of Headquarters. As Director of Communications and Spokesperson for the President of the General Assembly, it was my job to tell the press and public what was going on in the Organization’s most democratic body. My focus was on resolutions, declarations and high-level meetings. I was surrounded by words—but not seeing first-hand if or how those words were actually improving people’s lives.

United Nations staff member Brenden Varma in Kirkuk following meetings with electoral authorities and civil society, 25 August 2021

Deployed to a divided country

Around that time, I happened to stumble across a movie about Sérgio Vieira de Mello, a United Nations hero who lost his life following a shocking attack in Iraq in 2003. I had joined the Organization shortly before that attack and never forgot the impact that it had on my colleagues and me. The United Nations was suddenly a target. The field seemed like a much scarier place at the time.

But nearly two decades later, I didn’t feel fear when I watched the film; I…

‘We want to share our passion’: New sneaker store opens at Mohegan Sun

“Portal” is a new sneaker and streetwear store that recently opened in the Shops at Mohegan Sun.

MONTVILLE, Conn. — Nikes, Air Jordans, Yeezys, and plenty of Pumas; “Portal” is a new sneaker and streetwear store that opened in the Shops at Mohegan Sun just one month ago.

For owner and founder Chris Blomstedt, Portal is a gateway to a passion shared by many – the love of collectible shoes.

“We are all about celebrating all the achievements within the sneaker and streetwear space over the past couple of decades,” said Blomstedt, from Ledyard.

While some shoe prices hover from $100 to the $150 range, the hard-to-find low and high tops fetch top dollar, with no shortage of tags in the $300 and $400 dollar range. Blomstedt has a coveted pair of Yeezys on display (locked behind glass) that he estimated a price tag of $10,000. But, for now, they’re only on display.

Blomstedt said the Christmas season was a busy one for the team at Portal, and now that January has arrived and the omicron variant of COVID-19 has created more issues for businesses, he hopes that people are willing to come out and support small shops like his.

“We are just trying to blend the legacy products as well as the more trendy items,” Blomstedt said, and later added, “We want to share our passion with as many people as possible.” 

Portal is open seven days a week at the Shops at Mohegan Sun. To learn more go to portalonline.store or on Instagram @portal.ig

Peter Wright, a darts player, takes two hours to do his mohawk, which he does with the help of his wife Joanne. » Brinkwire

Peter Wright, a darts player, spends two hours getting his mohawk done, with the help of his wife Joanne.

Peter Wright’s distinctive mohican and facial ‘war paint’ have made him the most recognisable darts star in the world, and he owes the transformation to his wife and daughter.

On Monday evening, Peter Wright will compete in his third PDC World Darts Championship final at Ally Pally, wearing his trademark mohawk and ‘war paint’.

Snakebite put on a memorable performance in their semi-final on Sunday, defeating fellow Scot Gary Anderson, and will now face Michael Smith after Bully Boy destroyed James Wade.

Wright is confident after winning the World Matchplay and Players Championship Finals in 2021, after becoming World Champion for the first time in 2020.

The 51-year-old began his career with the BDO in 1995, and he was unrecognizable without his now-familiar look, which his loved ones had crafted for him.

Jo, Peter’s manager and wife, is a hairdresser by trade and was instrumental in shaping Snakebite’s flamboyant look during his professional darts career.

She runs a salon in Lowestoft, Suffolk, called Medusa Hair, where she once spent nearly five hours perfecting a look for her other half.

“It takes about two hours every day in my chilling out time after practice,” he said in 2013.

My wife Jo is doing my hair while I relax.”

In the comments section, tell us who you think will win the PDC Darts World Championships in 2022.

“It’s down to my daughter because she’s the one who has all different color hair and I thought ‘I’ll try that,” she told the Mail.

“It was the first time any other dart player tried it, and it just stuck.”

It’s like going to war with my war paint on,…
