The thought of having a pool table in your home is undoubtedly exciting, especially when you imagine all the fun you can have. If you’re looking into pool tables, then you should know they cost a pretty penny. As such, you want to ensure you’re making the right choices. Since there are many styles, materials, supplies, etc., there are countless dynamic options available when you’re deciding. Before you place that order and invite friends over to break it in, you should discover what to know before purchasing a pool table.
Budget
You might find yourself surprised to know that pool tables range quite a lot in price. Roughly, they can be as low as $500 and as high as $500,000. Before you seriously look into pool tables, you’ll want to decide on your budget, and it’s best to set a comfortable range. When choosing your budget, consider why you want a pool table in the first place. Is it for the kids, family use, or are you looking to play as the professionals do? This is what to know before purchasing a pool table.
Supplies
You also want to think about the materials you’ll purchase for your pool table. When playing pool, billiard balls will take most of the hits. As such, they experience the most damage and degradation. You want to choose high quality supplies to ensure that they will endure the test of time. This is why you might want to consider going with phenolic resin billiard balls. They can last you up to 40 years and can take the wear and tear.
Room
Regardless of your budget and design, pool tables require quite a lot of space, so you want to consider the room you have. Keep in mind the mechanisms needed to play pool. You must have enough space to fit the table and comfortably compete. When mapping out your room, add about five feet of extra space to the dimensions of your pool table. This ensures that you don't damage your walls when wrapped up in the excitement of hitting an eight ball.

Highlights:
- Suriname
- Deputy Secretary-General
- Western Sahara
- Yemen
- Ukraine
- Lebanon
- South Sudan
- Nigeria
- South Africa
- Colombia
SURINAME
The Secretary-General is traveling to Suriname, and he will arrive there early tomorrow morning.
As a reminder, during his trip to Suriname, the Secretary-General is scheduled to visit a rainforest region and an indigenous community, to learn more about harnessing indigenous knowledge to help adapt to climate impacts. He will also underscore the importance of nature-based climate solutions during a visit to a coastal mangrove site, where he will witness Suriname coastline’s susceptibility to flooding.
And then on Sunday, he will address the opening ceremony of the Heads of Government Meeting of the Caribbean Community, known as CARICOM.
DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL
The Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week. In addition to cancelling her in-person activities scheduled over the past few days in Paris, she will no longer travel to Lisbon, for the closing of the Ocean Conference.
She is expected back in the office on Tuesday.
WESTERN SAHARA
The Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for Western Sahara, Staffan de Mistura is planning to conduct a new phase of visits to all concerned interlocutors in the region in the coming days. The Personal Envoy will travel to Rabat tomorrow to meet Moroccan officials. It is also his intention to visit Western Sahara in the course of this trip. During this phase of the engagement, the Personal Envoy intends to remain guided by the clear precedents set by his predecessors.
Following the Personal Envoy’s regional tour in January, he looks forward to deepening the consultations he initiated at that time with all parties concerned on the perspectives to constructively advance the political process on Western Sahara.
YEMEN
The UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism for Yemen urgently needs additional funds to continue its work. With its current resources, the Mission will be forced to suspend operations at the end of August.
The Mission is an essential service that facilitates the flow of commercial goods into Yemen’s Red Sea ports.
Since 2016, it has cleared more than 1,600 ships to ensure essential items such as food, fuel and other commercial goods are able to reach Yemeni men, women and children.
Yemen imports nearly 90 per cent of its food. The Security Council has often expressed its commitment to facilitating these imports, most recently in resolution 2624.
The Mission needs $3.5 million for its operations from September until the end of the year.

BBC News Video: Hong Kong marks 25 years since handover to China - BBC News
Hong Kong is marking the 25th anniversary of its handover from the UK to China.
For more than 150 years Hong Kong was a British colony but in 1997 it was handed back to China.
The question was how capitalist, libertarian Hong Kong would fare under Communist Chinese rule.
Beijing promised that Hong Kong's civil liberties and freedom - restricted on the Chinese mainland - would be preserved for at least 50 years, under an arrangement known as "one country, two systems".
At first little seemed to change, but in time China sought to exercise more control, leading to mass protests.
Recently a sweeping new National Security Law effectively banned dissent in Hong Kong.

Global Video: “I feel very isolated”: People with disabilities face barriers accessing LGBTQ+ spaces
Disability is a reality for many Canadians. Yet, people with disabilities often struggle to access businesses, nightclubs and other spaces.
This is true in the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community as well.
“I feel very isolated in a lot of those spaces because they’re not accessible,” disability awareness consultant Andrew Gurza tells Global News about hot spots in Toronto’s LGBTQ+ neighbourhood, “The Village.”
“And if I can access the space a lot of the community doesn’t know how to receive me. Has never seen a disabled person like me in the space.”
Global News’ Alyssa Julie spoke to two disabled people in the queer community, who said physical barriers aren’t the only hurdle they encounter. Global News’ Alyssa Julie reports.

Global Video: Bisexual erasure: What it is, and how it impacts mental health
Almost 500,000 people in Canada identify as bisexual, according to official data from Statistics Canada.
However, although a growing portion of the Canadian population identifies as bisexual, those who come out as such are still met with denial, or their identities are questioned. This phenomenon is referred to as bisexual erasure.
One example of this is when a bisexual person is said to be “experimenting,” or transitioning to gay or lesbian, as described by 2SLGBTQQIA+ organizations, like GLAAD or Pflag.
Global News’ Alyssa Julie explains what bisexual erasure is and how it can affect the mental health of those impacted.

Global Video: Raging Asian Women make themselves heard through traditional Taiko drumming
In celebration of Asian Heritage Month and Pride in Canada, a group of pan-Asian women and non-binary drummers called Raging Asian Women (RAW), are making themselves heard through the traditional performance of Japanese Taiko drumming, one of the few ensembles of its kind.
In Japanese, "taiko" literally means "drum," first used in ancient Japan over 2000 years ago. However the term has also come to refer to the wider art of traditional and modern Japanese drumming, with a mix of various technical rhythms, forms and instruments.
The origins of RAW lay in “trying to fight against stereotypes of Asian women as submissive or quiet or powerless,” said Jody Chan, one of the drummers of the group.
Y.J., another member of the group, said that “there’s still moments where I just feel a sense of pride and connection that I don’t think I feel anywhere else” when performing or rehearsing.
Asian Heritage Month recognizes the contributions and influence of Canadians from diverse Asian backgrounds to the nation’s history, culture, and achievements. Started in the 1990s, the Government of Canada officially designated the month of May for celebrations in 2002.
A recent survey released by the Chinese Canadian National Council Toronto Chapter (CCNC) and Project 1907 showed that reports of anti-Asian incidents last year saw a 47 per cent increase from 2020.

Global Video: Parosmia: The long COVID-19 symptom that distorts smell and taste
Parosmia is a post-COVID condition that distorts people's sense of smell, like for third-grade teacher Christine Chipinuck, who has been unable to eat in the staff cafeteria since her diagnosis.
It started a few months after recovering from COVID-19, when her toothpaste suddenly tasted rancid and her favourite drink coffee smelled like gasoline. Sometimes she smells hairspray or vomit all day. There are very few things she can eat.
There's still a lot to learn about this condition and how long it lasts, but the working theory is COVID-19 affects the receptors in the nose.
Su-Ling Goh reports.

Global Video: What are “incidental COVID-19” cases and how do they affect hospitalizations?
As the Omicron COVID-19 variant continues to drive increased cases and hospital admissions in Canada, several jurisdictions have changed the way they report hospitalizations. They now separate between those who are admitted due to COVID-19 and those who are admitted for another reason but test positive during screening.
This is often being referred to as an "incidental COVID hospitalization" which means people in hospital with the disease are not necessarily there because of COVID-19.
But doctors say there is a lot more to an incidental case than someone testing positive despite coming in for something like a broken arm or a fall. Sean Previl breaks down what "incidental COVID" means and why medical professionals are saying the numbers don't tell the whole story.
