或許，這八年來沒能增加新的歌迷，因為她已經走了八年，但當年如果沒有這首「別認輸」打氣與鼓勵，或許很多人就放棄自己了吧。2007年5月27日，日本樂壇失去了一副激勵人心的好聲音，「ZARD」坂井泉水開啟了鮮少宣傳、不受訪問的覆面系女歌手傳說，就算人已不在，她的聲音還是許多歌迷心中有著一個位置。

生於1967年、逝於2007年，得年40歲，1991年出道的坂井泉水，其驟世讓許多歌迷無法接受，曾締造數張百萬單曲，在那個實體產品還會賣的年代，CD與DVD總銷售量突破3600萬套，她的神祕讓人想一探究竟，卻不得其門而入，只有出道初期上過電視的音樂節目宣傳，以及1999和2004年舉辦公開售票演唱會，僅能透過作品了解其音樂世界，就連從醫院樓梯摔下失血過多而過世，到底是意外還是自殺至今仍是謎團。

賣出167萬張的單曲「別認輸」，是「ZARD」坂井泉水的代表作，歌聲溫柔中帶著溫暖且滿是希望，拿手的中版旋律讓人振奮，慢歌情感豐富，她的作品充滿著「能量」，當年是許多日本上班族精神寄託所在，迷惘時的音樂良藥，雖然過世時年僅40歲，她仍是許多歌迷心中「永遠的歌姬」，的地位並未因她的離開而有所改變。

Kentucky governor takes action on Juneteenth holiday and against discrimination based on hairstyles
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear designated Juneteenth as a holiday for state executive branch workers on Thursday and expanded protections in state hiring and employment by banning discrimination based on hairstyles. The separate executive orders signed by the Democratic governor represented his latest outreach to Black Kentuckians — but also reflected limits to that outreach. Beshear, seen as a rising Democratic star, took the actions after efforts to make Juneteenth a statewide holiday and outlaw discrimination based on hairstyles failed in the state's Republican-supermajority legislature.

Families of four of the five Marines killed when their Osprey crashed in California in June of 2022 filed a federal lawsuit Thursday alleging that the aircraft's manufacturers failed to address known mechanical failures that led to the deaths. The Marines were killed when their MV-22 Osprey experienced a catastrophic mechanical failure known as hard-clutch engagement, a known problem with the tilt-rotor aircraft that has happened more than a dozen times since 2010. The families named Bell Textron, The Boeing Co. and Rolls Royce in their lawsuit.

US CDC warns of multi-state salmonella outbreak linked to backyard poultry
The CDC said that 109 people from 29 states have gotten sick from salmonella after touching or caring for backyard poultry such as chickens and ducks. The states with the highest number of cases are Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma. The true number of sick people is likely much higher than the number reported because many recover without medical care and are not tested for salmonella, the CDC said.

Prosecutors appeal dismissal of some charges against Trump in Georgia election interference case
A Georgia prosecutor on Thursday appealed a ruling dismissing some of the criminal charges against former President Donald Trump and other defendants in an election interference case. The notice of appeal filed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis does not say why an appeals court should reverse the March dismissal. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee quashed six counts in the indictment, including three against Trump, saying the counts did not allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of the violations.

Lawsuit seeks to block Washington parental rights law that critics call a 'forced outing' measure
A school district, a nurse, and civil rights and youth services organizations sued Thursday to block a new Washington state parental rights law that critics describe as a “forced outing” measure. The Democratic-led Legislature overwhelmingly approved it, with progressive lawmakers wanting to keep it off the fall ballot while calculating that courts would likely block it. Known as Initiative 2081, the law requires schools to notify parents in advance of medical services offered to their child, except in emergencies, and of medical treatment arranged by the school resulting in follow-up care beyond normal hours.

DoubleLine CEO expects imminent US recession, government debt surge
Jeffrey Gundlach, the chief executive of investment management company DoubleLine Capital, expects a U.S. recession as soon as this year, he said on Thursday, as higher interest rates pressure U.S. consumers and companies. Signals of brewing trouble in the U.S. economy such as rising credit card delinquencies and softer retail sales data suggest the possibility of an economic contraction is more imminent than the risk of an inflationary rebound, he said. "There's a lot of recessionary signals out there," he said, speaking at a webinar hosted by David Rosenberg, founder and president of Rosenberg Research.

The 'Appeal to Heaven' flag evolves from Revolutionary War symbol to banner of the far right
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is embroiled in a second flag controversy in as many weeks, this time over a banner that in recent years has come to symbolize sympathies with the Christian nationalist movement and the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. An “Appeal to Heaven” flag was flown last summer outside Alito’s beach vacation home in New Jersey, according to The New York Times, which obtained several images showing it on different dates in July and September 2023. The Times previously reported that an upside down American flag — a sign of distress — had flown outside Alito's Alexandria, Virginia, home less than two weeks after the violent Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
