Newsworthy event (Main event)

1. Whether you're a beach bum or just running errands during the summer, you can't be too careful protecting your skin. Sun damage can lead to premature wrinkles, dark marks, and even skin cancer over time. To protect your skin, choose a sunscreen that's right for you, take other measures to protect your skin, and follow a skin-healthy diet.
|
2. Every year, summers take a toll on the skin. The scorching heat, pollution, humidity, et al, wipes it off the natural glow, and sometimes, invites infections.
| |
3. Dermatologists spend summers underneath the same sun as the rest of us, but somehow their skin manages to stay clear and glowing all season long. Sure, it's part of the job description, but even the professionals have to work a bit harder to prevent breakouts and minimize sun damage during the summer months

1. There are 3 ways to protect your skin in summer :
- Use the SPF that right for you
Think about how quickly you burn on a sunny day. Multiply that number in minutes by the sun protection factor (SPF) of the sunscreen you're considering. The result will tell you the maximum amount of time the sunscreen will keep you protected.
- Be cautious even when wearing high SPF sunscreen
- Look for complete UV protection.
The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) light in long-wave (UVA) and shortwave (UVB) rays. Both can cause skin cancer, but not all sunscreens contain UVA protection. Check the front of the packaging for terms like “Broad Spectrum.” This indicates protection from both kinds of UV rays.
|
2. To avoid all these hassles, and to keep your skin radiating like before, here are the easy-peasy tips you can follow this season :
Exfoliate your body
Use a sunscreen
Go for minimal makeup
Don’t forget to drink a water
Hydrate your body with a lotion
Look for a summery polish
| |
3. Here are the following steps for your summer skincare :
Lighten up your skincare routine
Use a moisturizer
Vitamin C serum
Add a exfoliation skin care step
Cut down your tub time
Make sure your make up non- comedogenic
Don’t forget to hydrate
SPF is a must

Each source has a different way to protect the skin during summer. But of all that there are similarities like dont forget to drink water, and use sunscreen. And I think that's the most important.

1. a day after iphone se launched,, Apple's second-generation iPhone SE is now up for preorder with a starting price of just $399 for the 64GB model. The 128GB version is only $50 more, at $449, and 256GB will cost $549. You get your pick of black, white or PRODUCT(RED). With the latter, a portion of your purchase will go directly to the Global Fund to combat covid-19.
|
2. Just a day after Apple unveiled its new $399 iPhone SE, Samsung announced it's finally bringing the Galaxy S10 Lite to the United States, which will launch Friday for $650. It took a while for Samsung to get this device ready, and while it was in the works, the market for midrange phones was getting more and more competitive and crowded. The OnePlus 8 is out there now, and Samsung launched its own series of Galaxy-A value devices last week.
| |
3. Barcelona has announced its players and staff will take temporary wage cuts as the club grapples with the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
La Liga has been suspended indefinitely, with officials saying on Monday that it would only resume when the government confirmed it was safe to do so.

1. You can get the full scoop on the iPhone SE in our guide here. But for now, if you're hooked, it's time to preorder. The advantage to preordering on day one? Well, it means your order will be first in line to ship. The iPhone SE officially launches next Friday, April 24.
There are plenty of places to preorder. Amazon, BestBuy, Expercom, Target and Sam's Club have all kicked off preorders. A majority of carriers have started preorders as well, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, Xfinity Mobile and Verizon. You can get an unlocked model or get one paired to a carrier.
It's also a good idea to trade in your previous phone. Be sure to check out our guide for the best places to resell, in addition to the trade-in program offered by the place where you're buying the new one. And if you're looking for a case or a screen protector for your new iPhone SE, check out our guides.

2. The GalaxyS10 Lite offers a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED Plus Infinity-O display. That's a panel that should give you a vibrant screen that delivers an overall sharp picture. It has a pinhole centered at the top of the screen for a 32-megapixel front camera.
The rear side has a 5-megapixel macro, a 48-megapixel wide-angle and a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens. So it's one device that can get three different shots. Quality on these lenses remains to be seen, though.
Its battery supports fast charging. Powering Android with Samsung's One user interface is a 7nm 64-bit octa-core processor that's paired with 6GB of RAM. With eight cores it should be plenty to power the Android experience here. Just don't expect it to be as fast as the Galaxy S20.

3. Spain has become one of the countries worst affected by Covid-19 with a total of 56,188 cases recorded, according to Spanish Health Ministry data released on Thurdsay, and at least 4,089 deaths, putting the healthcare system under immense strain. Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus on Barcelona's revenue streams, the club says it will "implement a series of measures to mitigate its effects and reduce the economic effects." That included reducing player wages as, the club said, the working day had been shortened.

1. Theatre and lighting technicians who usually build festival sites and TV sets are among those helping to put power into beds and create kitchens. Company director Tom Feierabend said they were asked because they construct festival sites and suchlike at speed. Festival electricians were building power distribution systems while catering firms were building kitchens, feeding workers, and gearing up to feed staff and patients."Site management teams are managing the flow of equipment and staff, coordinating ID badges, safety, communications, and directing resources where they are needed," Mr Feierabend said. T&M has previously lit up the exterior of the Senedd, worked with the Sherman Theatre and the National Theatre of Wales.

2. Organizers first postponed the festival last month, saying that they would aim to stage it in June or July this year. But in an updated statement, they said that plan was now “no longer an option” after France extended its lock down measures this week. They did not elaborate on what the alternatives could be but said they hoped "to communicate promptly”. The prestigious festival was originally scheduled to take place in the south of France from 12 to 23 May. When the festival was first postponed, its president, Pierre Lescure, said he was “reasonably optimistic” it would still go ahead this year. In their latest statement, the festival’s organizers said: “Following the French president’s statement… we acknowledged that the postponement of the 73rd International Cannes Film Festival, initially considered for the end of June to the beginning of July, is no longer an option. “It is clearly difficult to assume that the Festival de Cannes could be held this year in its original form. ”Organizers added that they had started discussions with film industry professionals.

3. The author lived there between the ages of nine and 18 and in 2011 bought the cottage through a property company in her married name. She paid about £400,000 for the house, which is said to have inspired key elements of the young wizard's story. Land Registry records show in September 2011, Edinburgh-based Caernarfon Lettings Ltd, which lists the author's husband Neil Murray as a director, bought Church Cottage. The property was sold by BBC producer Julian Mercer, who himself had bought it off the Rowling family in 1995.
At the time of the 2011 sale, the cottage was said to have elements of the Harry Potter story within its walls, including a cupboard under the stairs similar to the one where the Dursley family made Harry live. The author also left her mark on Church Cottage with "Joanne Rowling slept here circa 1982" scrawled on one wall. In 2019 Caernarfon Lettings Ltd successfully applied for planning permission to carry out renovations at the property, on Coleford Road.
