Sister Inah Canabarro, a 116-year-old nun from Brazil, has been recognized as the world's oldest living person by LongeviQuest. She attributes her longevity to her Catholic faith and remains active in her local soccer community, supporting the club Inter.

GB News: Council launches shocking parking charges with electric cars set to pay more than petrol and diesel models
Dover District Council has approved a new flat rate parking permit fee of £105, significantly increasing costs for electric car owners from £40 to £105, while reducing fees for high-emission vehicles. This change aims to standardize charges but has drawn criticism for discouraging eco-friendly vehicle adoption.
The council argues that the previous emissions-based system failed to influence vehicle choices, with minimal uptake of zero-emission permits. Critics, including Green Party members, label the decision as misguided, asserting it penalizes those with lower emissions cars and adds financial strain on residents.

Fox News: New Jersey ends basic reading and writing skills test requirement for teachers
New Jersey has passed a law eliminating the requirement for teachers to pass basic reading, writing, and mathematics tests for certification, effective immediately. This move, aimed at addressing teacher shortages, was supported by state officials who view it as a necessary step to increase the number of educators.
While teachers will still need to meet specific criteria like holding a bachelor's degree and maintaining a minimum GPA, the change reflects a broader trend where several states have relaxed certification standards to combat a nationwide teacher shortage.
