Colombia have secured their spot in the quarter-finals, leading Group D with six points from their first two games. Brazil sits comfortably in second place with four points. Costa Rica and Paraguay bring up the rear, with one and zero points respectively. Paraguay’s hopes of advancing have been dashed after consecutive losses. The match sprung to life from the first whistle, with Vinicius’ pace and trickery causing havoc for Paraguay down the left flank. This was a marked improvement from his lackluster performance in Brazil’s goalless draw against Costa Rica, where he struggled to make an impact. Brazil dominated the early exchanges, but it was Paraguay who came closest to opening the scoring in the 15th minute. Damian Bobadilla’s effort took a wicked deflection off Eder Militao, forcing a quick reaction save from Alisson Becker to keep the scores level. The game took a turn in Brazil’s favor when they were awarded a penalty for a handball in the 28th minute. However, Lucas Paquet...

Hang wanted these pre-wedding photos to capture not only their love but also to evoke memories of a time when visiting the local wet market with mothers and grandmothers was a daily excitement – a tradition fading due to the rise of e-commerce. “We want our future children to see these photos and understand the beauty of a simple life,” she said.

Colombia sits atop their group with an impressive six points from their first two games, leading Costa Rica and Brazil, who have one point each. Paraguay brings up the rear with zero points and will face Brazil later today. ‘Los Cafeteros’ are on a remarkable run of form, having secured ten consecutive victories and an unbeaten streak of 25 matches. With their sights set on their first Copa America title since 2001, they look unstoppable. Nestor Lorenzo’s squad could potentially secure their top spot in the group if Brazil and Paraguay draw later today, which would spare them from a likely quarter-final clash with Uruguay. Even if that doesn’t happen, a draw in their final group game against Brazil on Tuesday will likely be enough to see them through. Costa Rica, despite their loss, still has a chance with one point. However, they need to win their last match against Paraguay and hope for favorable results in other games. Colombia dominated from the start and took the lead in the ...

The Mnong Rlam hold many cultural and religious rituals, including a longevity ceremony for their parents. The Mnong Rlam organize a longevity ceremony to show their filial piety when their parents are over 60 years old. The ceremony is usually held in the 1st or 2nd month after they finish the harvest. Shaman Y-Krai Čil says that in the past the eldest daughter was in charge of holding the longevity ceremony for her parents. Now all the children are allowed to organize it. The longevity ceremony is associated with the worship of mountain and river deities. “When the offerings have been prepared, the shaman calls the deities of the mountain, forest, and water and asks for their permission to organize the ceremony.” The offerings include a pig, three bowls of rice, a gourd full of water, and three cups of straw liquor (ruou can). The M’Nong say straw liquor is the drink of the deities. The deities sent messengers to teach the M’Nong to make straw liquor, so the bevera...
