Medical staff participate in the launch of World Telehealth Initiative programming in Opoji, Nigeria
By Brittn Grey, Executive Director of Global & Domestic Immersion Programs
From its onset, COVID-19 has underscored and exacerbated global health disparities—from hard-hit health indicators to a rise in extreme poverty and disrupted education. With a Mission and vision that extend beyond borders, Providence has partnered with international non-profits since 2012 to promote sustainable, locally-led change, and redress global health inequities. Within this time of global uncertainty, Providence remains steadfast in supporting our international partners and is committed to ethical global health principles as expressed in the Brocher Declaration.
Across the pandemic, we have continued to support public health education and community capacity building, sponsored new water, hygiene, and sanitation projects at the healthcare facility level, and intentionally committed to growing our capacity sharing efforts through virtual channels for caregiver service. By sponsoring impactful global health strategies and accelerating solidarity-based initiatives, we contribute to global healthcare capacity on a journey toward the decolonization of global health. Key within this journey is the utilization of technology for global good. The explosion of telehealth as a result of the pandemic has illuminated a powerful nexus between compassion and innovation in technology rich settings. This same technology can support the advancement of health in historically under-resourced areas.
Providence’s global programs work with international partners who take an advocacy approach and are adept at bridging technology tools and access into low resource environments to build relationships and capacity sharing initiatives between US and international providers. Rather than allowing ourselves to believe that the digital divide is a neutral issue, we must advocate to ensure the benefits of technology and the resulting power of knowledge are in the hands of all: especially those whose countries bear the greatest global burden of disease with the fewest resources to combat that burden.
Through newly launched tele-mentoring initiatives with World Telehealth Initiative, Medical Teams International, and Seed Global Health, Providence is engaging our medical community in virtual capacity sharing efforts. Our current tele-mentoring locations and strategic partners include:
- Guatemala: Working with Medical Teams International, Spanish-speaking providers from Providence are serving as clinical mentors to Guatemalan Ministry of Health providers in El Quiché. Responding to a locally administered health system assessments and designed by on the ground staff, this initiative will strengthen continuing education in maternal and child health, emergency obstetrics, and monitoring and evaluation.
- Nigeria: Working with World Telehealth Initiative and using Teladoc technology, Providence clinicians are collaborating with Nigerian health professionals in the Opoji Kingdom. Through a partnership with World Telehealth Initiative, Urban Health 360, and Precious Gems, this layered initiative in Opoji includes community health outreach and the goal of reducing the need to refer complicated health cases to other regions by fortifying local capacity.
- Uganda: Working with Seed Global Health, emergency medicine specialists from Providence are collaborating with regional specialists and a network of 1,000 Ugandan clinicians through Project Echo’s virtual model for knowledge sharing and community empowerment. Our participation is in direct support of the Ugandan Ministry of Health’s goal to develop the new-to-Uganda specialty of emergency medicine.
Within each of these initiatives, the opportunity for learning is bi-directional; by working with Guatemalan, Ugandan, and Nigerian providers, Providence clinicians help to fill gaps within medical education in lower income countries while strengthening their own understanding of medical delivery in alternate geographies. This knowledge enhances Providence providers’ ability to respond to population health within a diverse landscape.
The use of virtual technology greatly expands our capacity to stand in solidarity with our neighbors in distant places. By engaging Providence caregivers in meaningful, virtual service opportunities with key partners, we respond to the call of the Sisters of Providence “to reach beyond the borders of our own country as global citizens” and to always “search for new ways to carry out the Mission, honoring Providence tradition, but not letting past practice constrict the vision of what is best for the future.”
In a time of world-wide uncertainty and crisis, there is an impulse to focus on what is immediately in front of us. For some health systems and organizations, this has meant withdrawing from global commitments just as the call to the common good grows louder. Health systems, organizations, and citizens of goodwill must resist the urge to focus only inward, and instead, remember our connectivity as a global family. Rather than watching the digital divide widen and the global community of health care providers struggle in silos, virtual capacity sharing opens a door to solidarity, service, and strengthening that will help us navigate this pandemic and what comes next—together.

Are you familiar with Freecycle? I began stalking my (quasi) local group a few months back before I resorted to Craigslist to get a dresser for the girls. I am still receiving the digest email each day. Here was one request that will be hard to beat:
Hello, due to company dress code standards I will be forced to shave my beard in the near future. I am posting this in hopes that a past master of disguise may be a part of our Freecycle group and may be willing to part with an assortment of prosthetic beards. I am hoping for brown or lighter as long as the fibers are dye-able. Various styles would be desirable as I could interchange styles before and after shifts. Not only will a prosthetic beard allow me to keep my current or similar look, but the ability to alter my appearance at will may also lead me to pursue my lifelong dream of crime fighting. Please, prosthetic beards only, I do not need leftover shavings as I can produce those myself. Thank you.

One that opened in Chicago in 2019 is in the news right now, because it’s expanding. Over 1,500 people are using it, and it’s got over 2,500 tools you can borrow. Most of the tools were donated. And they’ve got so many now, they need a bigger space……New Mexico State is giving students with unpaid parking tickets a break this week. If they drop off five jars of peanut butter for a local food pantry, their fine is waived. The school is already planning to do it again at the end of their spring semester next year……And finally…….

This past weekend felt like our first real summer weekend. There was an outdoor music festival, late night barbecues, balcony drinks amongst friends huddled around a candle, and a few hours relaxing with the new cookbook my sister's bought me for my birthday. Though I accomplished nothing on my weekend to-do list (that seems to be rather typical in the summer months), I was able to tag about half of the book, totally tantalized by her fabulous seasonal recipes. These fritters are a riff on Kimberley's "Sweet Corn and Squash Fritters" -- corn isn't around yet, and I can never get enough dill. Serve with a bed of greens or a side salad, and you have yourself a perfect summer lunch!
CHICKPEA, DILL AND YELLOW SQUASH FRITTERS // makes 8 fritters
Method adapted from Vibrant Food.
1 1/2 cups chickpeas (slightly less then 1 can)
1 cup grated yellow squash/zucchini
1 small thai chili or jalapeno, thinly sliced, seeds removed
4 green onions, only white and pale green parts, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped dill
dash of salt
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup flour
2 T olive oil
1 avocado, for serving
What to do:
Place the chickpeas in a large bowl, and, using a fork, 'smash' through to create a mash - not totally smooth, but smooth enough. Add the grated squash, chili, onion, dill and salt and toss to combine.
In a separate, smaller bowl, beat the egg. Transfer to the chickpea mixture and mix thoroughly. Add 1/4 cup of flour and stir to combine. If mixture is too wet, add a bit more flour. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 T olive oil. Measure about 1/4 cup of batter and transfer it to the pan, lightly flattening with your spatula. (I fit four in my pan at a time, but use your judgement.)
Allow the fritters to sit, undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then gently flip, and let sit for roughly 4 minutes until edges are golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Add another tbsp of oil to the skillet and continue with the same method until you've used up all the batter.
Serve warm, with a heaping scoop of smashed avocado and a sprinkle of dill.

The most likely reason is that your Resident Visitor Permit (RVP) has expired.
All visitor permits are valid for between one (1) and three (3) years from the date of your application being accepted, depending on the operator or council. Therefore, once you exceed the relevant expiry date (regardless of whether you have used any entitled threshold, if your operator or council uses thresholds) the RingGo system will recognise that your permit has expired and you will need to re-apply either with RingGo or the Council (London Borough of Richmond residents only) in the same method as before. This is primarily to prove to the local authority that you are a valid resident and entitled to the RVP scheme.
Another reason may be that the telephone number you are calling from is not linked to your RingGo permit. Your registered mobile or landline number(s) must be used when calling our Permit Booking Line on 020 3046 0005 in order to validly purchase a permit session. Only a stored number can be used to purchase permit sessions by phone. Some operators or councils allow you to have multiple telephone numbers on your RingGo account.

- SFO director Green looks to complete high-profile cases
- SFO to work with violators, global agencies in ‘sensible way’
The director of the U.K. Serious Fraud Office said there will be more corporate plea deals "soon" as he looks to conclude a number of high-profile investigations.
"As we do more deferred prosecution agreements -- and don’t worry, we will be doing some more fairly soon” -- the SFO will continue to look at incentives such as reduced fines, David Green said Monday at the C5 anti-corruption conference in London. "I would like conclusions one way or the other in the major investigations that I have started.”
The SFO entered into its first plea bargain agreement in November with ICBC Standard Bank Plc, which saw the company pay about $33 million to resolve an investigation into bribery at its former Tanzanian unit. Under a DPA, prosecution is suspended if the company agrees to conditions that can include paying a fine, repaying profits, and helping bring cases against individuals. DPAs are a common enforcement tool in the U.S. but were only introduced in the U.K. in 2014.
Green’s comments come two months into his second term as director. Since his 2012 start, Green has opened investigations into several prominent global companies and institutions, including Rolls Royce Holdings Plc, Barclays Plc and the Bank of England. His second term ends in 2018.
While acknowledging that some companies may be reluctant to report violations because of the threat of multiple probes around the world, Green said the agency tries to coordinate with prosecutors and regulators around the world "in a sensible way." Still, it isn’t the SFO’s job to “smooth” a violator’s path in other jurisdictions, he said.
In the U.S., the Justice Department introduced a year-long pilot program in April to give incentives to companies to disclose violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Under the program, a company that voluntarily and quickly discloses an infraction and cooperates with the government will be eligible to receive a 50 percent discount on the bottom end of the applicable sentence.


Europe has become the centre of a storm over the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. Late last week, the Government of Sweden announced that the European Union was now uniformally seeking ACTA transparency. The announcement came just days after the Dutch leak that identified the specific countries opposed to a transparent approach. The revelations appear to have had a significant impact as all European Union countries are now said to support release of the ACTA text.
This week the issue hits the European Parliament that includes an ACTA debate on Tuesday, followed by a landmark resolution that will be on the table on Wednesday. At the moment, there are two competing resolutions. One resolution promoted by an alliance of the Liberal and Green Party, includes the following:

HONG KONG--The HSBC Hong Kong Purchasing Managers Index contracted in January, a signal of the city's deteriorating output at the start of 2015 amid China's economic slowdown.
HSBC said Wednesday that January's manufacturing PMI fell to 49.4 from 50.3 in December. A reading below 50 indicates a contraction in manufacturing, while a reading above that indicates an expansion.
"Hong Kong's economy remains relatively subdued at the start of 2015, with slower growth domestically as well as in mainland China continuing to weigh on demand," HSBC economist John Zhu said.
"This has meant that firms are still cutting jobs in the private sector and poses a risk to consumption as a source of growth in 2015," he added.
The HSBC PMI is calculated from indexes measuring change in output, new orders, employment, suppliers' delivery times and stocks. It is based on a survey of about 300 companies prepared by Markit Economics.

If you've played golf -- or watched it -- long enough, you've hit and seen your fair share of great shots. That's what keeps us all coming back, isn't it?
Yeah, well this piece is about the complete opposite of that.
This piece is going to detail seven golf shots captured on video that were doomed before they were ever attempted.
7. Dads aren't always the brightest bulbs in the world at times. I can say that as the father of two young boys. As David Feherty might say, we can be "a few french fries short of a Happy Meal."
That's the only way to explain what happens in this first offering as a dad let's his toddler son attempt to hit a golf ball out out of his mouth. Lucky for dad, the equipment was plastic:
6. Golf trick shots have been all the rage these last few years. A lot of them -- we're looking at the Bryan Brothers -- are fantastic.
However, for those who aren't pros like the Bryan Bros., well, things can guy wrong in a hurry...
... Which brings us to this duo of Rhodes Scholars. One golfer in a bunker, attempting to flop the ball up to his buddy, who will then smash it -- full volley -- with a driver.
The only thing the two didn't count on was the guy in the bunker catching his shot thin. Oops:
5. The shot itself in this next video is actually rather tame compared to the others on this list. It features a man hitting a tough -- but far from impossible -- shot from along the bank of a pond.
Looks like he picked his head up a little early, though, and his ball goes backward into the water... which leads to the best part of this video -- the meltdown:
4. Family videos are a treasure. Why dads can't figure out that filming a cute kid attempting to hit a hard object in our direction might lead to something painful, I'll never know.
Like this dad, who thought it would be a great idea to capture his 4-year-old son messing around with a way-too-long for him golf club. Holding the right-handed club left-handed and like a hockey stick, the 4-year-old smacks the ball... directly at dad:
3. Former NHL star Teemu Selänne spends a lot of time on the golf course these days. Earlier this year, he captured this video of a buddy who attempted a recovery shot from the water's edge.
When you have to stand that close to the golf ball because of a hazard directly behind you, it's probably worth it to rethink your shot selection.
Then again, it would deprive us all of this:
2. On paper, a bank shot off a railroad tie doesn't seem like a horrible idea. In fact, it seems like a much better idea than taking a penalty for an unplayable lie.
What this next golfer does, however, seems almost impossible. His bank shot goes through his own legs and right into the part of the body no man wants to get hit on his innocent bystander buddy.
This is fantastic (language may be a little NSFW):
1. Touring professionals will do anything to attempt to save a stroke. After all, it's their livelihood. Jacques Kruyswijk's attempt to save a stroke on the Sunshine Tour in 2015 resulted in a painful shot to his manhood.
Playing from behind a tree stump, Kruyswijk tried to advance his ball forward. It would have been golden had he pulled it off. Instead, it brought him to his knees:

MWC 2020 has been officially called off, and with that, the scheduled launch of the OPPO Find X2. The company was supposed to launch its latest flagship on 22 February. But after all that’s happened, the company has decided to reschedule the launch to a later date.
OPPO has said that it will be moving the launch of the Find X2 to March. But the company stopped short of giving an exact date, saying instead that “more information will be shared soon”. Here’s the statement that was sent to us, reproduced in full:
OPPO respects and understands GMSA’s decision to cancel the MWC Barcelona 2020 event. After serious consideration, we have also decided to reschedule the OPPO Find X2 Global Launch Event, originally scheduled on 22nd February. As of now, the event will be rescheduled for March and more information will be shared soon. Thank you for your continued support, and we kindly look forward to unveiling our latest flagship 5G smartphone in the near future.
For what it’s worth, this will likely only shorten the window between announcement and availability of the phone. Company vice president Brian Shen previously said that supply line issues were caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. In turn, this would’ve limited the number of available OPPO Find X2 units. The delayed launch may give the company more time to manufacture more devices before announcing them.
Another option would’ve been to have announcement of its Find X2 be done online. This is a strategy that Sony has adopted, after announcing that it, too, will not be present at MWC 2020, which was not yet cancelled when the announcement was made.

Nov. 21, 2009
ATLANTA – The Seminoles continued to push themselves on Day Two of the Georgia Tech Invite. Earning a combined seven event wins and 12 NCAA B-cut qualifying times, the Seminole’s continue to lead heading into the final day of the meet.
The Florida State women’s team earned 317.5 points Saturday to increase their overall meet score to 654.5.
In the 100 fly Hendry finished first in both the preliminary race and the finals (54.20, B-cut). Hendry’s teammates, Tiffany Elias came in third (54.96) and Brittany Selts finished in 4th (55.26) in the finals. Florida State also had a strong showing in the women’s 200 free, as Jocelyn Phillips came in second with a time of 1:48.72 (B-cut). Elias finished fifth (1:50.47), Holly Mills came in sixth (1:50.47) and Marissa Harrington came in ninth (1:51.77) in the event.
Freshman standout Polley battled back from a third place finish in the 100 breast preliminaries to take first place in the finals with a time of 1:03.26. Stephanie Sarandos earned her first individual B-cut time and her second overall of the meet with a fourth place finish in the 100 back (55.24).
Once again Florida State had a strong showing on the boards, with four athletes finishing in the top eight of the women’s three-meter diving event. Katie Sirounis led the Seminoles with a second place finish (311.90), followed by Jaq Schroeder in fourth (299.05), Aleia Monden in fifth (298.85) and Kat Adham in sixth (271.55).
The women’s final event of the day was the 800 free relay. The pairing of Phillips, Elias, Sarandos and Mils earned a second place, B-cut time of 7:20.26. The Florida State men’s team earned 394.5 points Saturday to increase their overall meet score to 696.
The men spent the second day of the meet dominating their competition, beginning with the 200 medley relay. Seniors Andy Hodgson and Scott Thacker teamed with freshmen Logan Mosley and Mark Weber to earn a victory in the event with a B-cut time of 1:29.21.
Five Seminoles finished in the top ten in the men’s 100 fly final, including three freshmen. Junior Matt Shead came in second (49.00), followed by Mosley in third (49.33). Mosley’s fellow freshmen Mark Cox (49.67) and Danny Nguyen (50.53) came in fifth and ninth, respectively, followed by sophomore Michael Aitken (50.98).
The men’s 200 free outcome came with an interesting twist. In addition to his part in the 200 medley relay, Hodgson finished first in the 200 free with a B-cut time of (1:36.65). Junior Robby Hayes earned the second fastest time (1:38.13), and a B-cut, in the event, but because his preliminary time was not among the top ten he had to settle for an 11th place finish.
Florida State swept the top three finishes and earned two B-cut times in the men’s 100 breast. Thacker claimed first with a time of 54.40 (B-cut), followed by Holderness in second (54.76, B-cut) and Shead in third (56.30).
Hodgson earned his third meet victory of the day in the 100 back with the only B-cut time of the event at 48.63.
“I was very satisfied with how I raced today,” Hodgson reflected. “It’s been great to swim this weekend with the whole team here and with everybody doing so well. I’m looking forward to the last day of the meet tomorrow where hopefully the whole team can continue to do well”
The 100 back also had a similar outcome to Hayes’s performance in the 200 free as Mosley finished with the second fastest time in the event (49.18) but his preliminary race time kept him from competing in the A-final.
The men’s diving events this season continue to be a duel between teammates Terry Horner and Landon Marzullo. This latest round went to Marzullo as he beat out Horner in the one-meter diving final by a score of 404.80 to 374.55.
The Seminole’s freshman class has continues to impress this season with stronger performances each race.
“The freshmen women and men have stepped up all weekend,” Head Coach Neil Harper boasted, “with Kristine Polley winning the 100 breast and Mosley, Cox and Nguyen’s top ten finishes in the 100 fly. Logan’s 100 back was a bright spot as well. Everyone is having a good time and swimming well”
Heading into the final day of the meet the women hold a 54.5 point lead over second place Florida, while the men extended their lead over second place Florida to 153 points.
The third and final day of the meet will begin Sunday at 9:00 a.m. with the finals of the 1650 free, followed by preliminary races in the 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast, 200 fly, platform dive and 400 yard freestyle relay. The remainder of the finals begin at 3:00 p.m. For live updates throughout the meet click here.

Spartanburg City Council unanimously approved a slate of improvements for Duncan Park, as well as the Mary Black Foundation Rail Trail and Mary H. Wright Greenway, at their meeting on Monday.
Following a framework for spending the City’s allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding agreed to by Council earlier this year, a total of $580,190 was approved for a variety of improvements including:
- Installation of around 2,300 feet of new asphalt trail and resurfacing around 3,600 feet of existing asphalt trail within Duncan Park.
- Youth athletic fields improvements for Duncan Park, including concession and restroom areas.
- Repair and resurfacing of the nearly 2-mile Mary Black Foundation Rail Trail.
- Expansion of the Mary H. Wright Greenway from Marion Avenue to Caulder Avenue along Hudson Barksdale Boulevard.
In presenting the proposed upgrades to City Council, Deputy City Manager Mitch Kennedy said that the City’s investment will also be accompanied by $175,000 in private dollars for the Duncan Park youth athletic field and $50,000 for the Mary H. Wright Greenway expansion.
This new round of parks and trails improvements comes on the heels of a $157,875 contract to remove invasive plant species from Duncan Park’s 55 wooded acres. All approved parks and trails improvements are expected to be completed over the next several months.

Anna Delvey, a name that captivated headlines and social circles, emerged as a captivating enigma in the early 2010s. Her net worth is always a burning question. Today we will discover Anna Delvey net worth and the deep-down source of it.
Table of Contents
Who is Anna Delvey?
Anna Delvey, a deceitful and ambitious woman, posed as a wealthy German heiress to gain social prominence in Manhattan’s elite circles. Anna’s financial misdeeds caught up with her, leading to her arrest and a highly publicized trial.
Anna’s trial, which ended in 2019 with her conviction on several charges of theft and grand larceny, served as a sharp reminder of the thin line between ambition and dishonesty.
Short Bio of Anna Delvey
|Full Name||Anna Sorokin|
|Birthdate||January 23, 1991 (age 32)|
|Birthplace||Domodedovo, Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union|
|Nationality||Soviet, Russian, German|
|Height||5’ 5” (1.65 m)|
|Social Media||Instagram, Twitter|
|Net Worth||$500 thousand|
Anna Delvey was born in Domodedovo. Her early life in Russia is relatively obscure, and not much is publicly known about her upbringing there. She later moved to Germany, where her family resided, and it was during this period that she adopted the persona of a wealthy German heiress.
Anna Sorokin claimed that her father was a truck driver, and her family lived a modest life in Russia. However, upon her arrival in the United States, she began to craft a new identity for herself, presenting as a wealthy European socialite. She adopted the nickname “Anna Delvey” and began to immerse herself in New York City’s upscale social scene.
Anna attended the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City, where she further developed her interest in the world of fashion and luxury. She briefly studied at FIT but did not complete her degree.
Delvey’s early life in Germany seems to have a vital role in her ability to convincingly pose as a wealthy heiress. Her time in Europe, along with her exposure to the world of art, fashion, and luxury, provided her with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the elite circles she aspired to join in New York City.
Anna Delvey Net Worth
Anna Delvey’s net worth in 2023 is estimated to be $500 thousand. It is a massive earning for a short-time con career. Doing scamming and fraud, forging financial documents, and media deals gathered a huge amount of wealth for Anna.
Facts Behind Anna Delvey Net Worth
The Illusion of Wealth
Anna Delvey’s extravagant lifestyle was a facade built on deception and fraud. While she projected an image of richness, the truth behind her net worth was far from what it seemed. Her illusion of wealth was crafted through a series of fraudulent activities, including dining at upscale restaurants, staying in luxury hotels, and accumulating bills she had no intention of paying.
Scamming and Fraud
One of the primary sources of Anna Delvey’s illusory wealth was her propensity for scamming and fraudulent activities. She frequently dined at high-end restaurants, checked into luxury hotels, and indulged in lavish experiences, all while using false credit card information or simply leaving without settling her bills. These deceptive practices allowed her to maintain the appearance of wealth while accumulating debt.
Defrauding Friends and Acquaintances
Anna Delvey also borrowed money from friends and acquaintances under false pretenses, promising to repay them but failing to do so. This form of deception further contributed to her ability to fund her extravagant lifestyle and maintain her facade as a wealthy socialite.
Forging Financial Documents
To bolster her claim to wealth, Anna Delvey allegedly forged bank statements and financial documents, creating an illusion of substantial assets and income. These falsified documents helped her gain the trust of individuals and establishments within New York City’s elite circles.
The story of Anna Delvey became immensely popular. That’s why Netflix picked up her story and made it into a nine-episode series called “Inventing Anna.” Netflix also highlighted her journey and recognized her for her dedication throughout her career. In fact, Netflix gave her $3,20,000 for the rights, which she used to repay her restitution.
Social Media Influencer Persona
While Anna Delvey did not directly earn income from her social media presence, her carefully curated online persona as an affluent socialite played a pivotal role in her ability to access exclusive events and experiences. Her Instagram posts showcased a life of luxury, reinforcing the illusion she had created.
After her arrest and trial, Anna Delvey did receive offers from media outlets and publishers for her story. While these deals may have provided her with some income, they were not significant sources of wealth compared to her extravagant spending.
Anna Delvey secured a book deal to write her memoir, titled “My Friend Anna,” which details her fabricated life and the events leading up to her arrest. While this may have generated some income, the majority of her earnings would likely go toward legal fees and restitution for her victims.
In 2017, Anna’s extravagant lifestyle and financial deceptions caught the attention of authorities. She was charged with multiple counts of theft and grand robbery, leading to her arrest and a highly publicized trial in 2019. Anna was subsequently convicted on several charges and sentenced to prison.
What is Anna Delvey’s net worth?
Anna Delvey’s net worth in 2023 is estimated to be $500 thousand.
What is Anna Delvey doing now?
Currently, she is on house arrest.
How many years did Anna Sorokin serve?
She nearly served four years and 18 months.
Was Anna Delvey married?
No. She has never been married.
Anna Delvey net worth was a delusion, built on deceit, fraud, and a carefully constructed show. Her story serves as a perfect reminder of the consequences of attempting to live a life based on lies and deception.

There are no migrants left at the border camp in Texas where, just days ago, nearly 15,000 people – mostly Haitians – met with asylum seekers.
It’s a dramatic change from last Saturday, when the number of immigrants peaked with confusion over the Biden administration’s policies and misinformation on social media converging at the border crossing between del Rio, Texas, and Ciudad Acuna, Mexico.
At a press conference, Del Rio Mayor Bono Lozano called it “exceptional news.”
Many face expulsion because they are not covered by the protections that the Biden administration recently provided to the more than 100,000 Haitian immigrants already in the United States, due to security concerns and social unrest in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
The devastating earthquake of 2020 forced many of them to leave their homeland.
The United States and Mexico seemed eager to end the increasingly politicized humanitarian situation that had led to the resignation of the US special envoy to Haiti and widespread outrage after images surfaced of border agents turning their horses to block and forcibly transfer migrants.
On Friday, President Joe Biden said the way customers used their horses was “appalling” and that “people would pay” as a result.
Agents were assigned administrative tasks during the management investigation.
“There will be consequences,” Biden told reporters. “It’s embarrassing, but it’s beyond embarrassment — it’s dangerous, it’s wrong, it’s sending the wrong message around the world and sending the wrong message home. It’s simply not who we are.”
Meanwhile, Homeland Security officials said about 2,000 Haitians have quickly been expelled on 17 flights since Sunday and more could be expelled in the coming days as pandemic forces deny people the opportunity to seek asylum.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mallorcas said the United States has allowed about 12,400 to enter the country, at least temporarily, while they file cases with an immigration judge to remain in the country under asylum laws or for some other legal reason.
They could eventually be rejected and subject to removal.
Mr. Mallorcas said about 8,000 immigrants “have decided to return to Mexico voluntarily” and that about 5,000 immigrants are in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security and are being processed to determine whether they will be expelled or allowed to press their claim for legal residence.
A US official familiar with the situation said seven flights were scheduled to Haiti on Friday, six on Saturday and seven on Sunday.

In the fall of 2012, Julia Guerra entered Indian Hills in the midst of a girls distance running revolution in North Jersey.
Catherine Pagano and the late Madison Holleran of Northern Highlands, Corinne Myers of Westwood and Josette Norris of Tenafly were starting to show the form that earned each of them state titles in the next three years.
And here was Guerra, who had started running in the sixth grade at Valley Middle School in Oakland.
"I had never heard of track growing up," said Guerra, The Record Girls Indoor Track Athlete of the Year. "But all my friends were doing it, and I liked it. It was something new, rather than just running up and down a soccer field."
She had a terrific middle school career, grabbing the attention of Indian Hills assistant cross-country and track coach Brian Rodak.
"He introduced himself to me and told me I had potential," she said with a laugh. "I was really excited for high school cross-country."
After a bout with anemia as a freshman, Guerra took her place among the North Jersey and state elite. She earned state Meet of Champions medals in six cross-country, indoor and outdoor seasons before this winter – as many as any Bergen County distance runner in history.
And then this winter, Guerra joined Holleran, Myers, Norris and Pagano as winners of a state Meet of Champions title, when she won the 3,200 meters in a Bergen record 10:35.70.
"All of the girls that were here when I first got to high school helped me so much," Guerra said. "They showed me the ropes, and they set the bar high for everyone in Bergen County and beyond."
And now Guerra is a grizzled senior helping newcomers like River Dell’s Shannon Goria and Ridgewood’s Olympia Martin and scheduling runs at the Bergen County Duck Pond in Ridgewood with rivals like Ridgewood’s Sam Halvorsen and Bergen Tech’s Abigail McLaughlin, all of whom joined her as 3,200 medalists at this year’s indoor MOC.
"This sport isn’t like any other," Guerra said. "During the race, everyone is serious and trying to beat one another. But afterwards, everyone’s just gone through the same thing, the same pain, the same nerves, and you’re able to congratulate one another and remain friends."
Guerra, who has accepted a scholarship to Penn State, has endured some highs and lows during her career, and admits that for a long time she would let bad races linger. But this year has seen a breakthrough.
"I used to harp on things for a while and could be a real diva," Guerra said, "but this year I’ve matured and learned to trust my coaching and my training and not worry about the past when it’s over."
She credits Rodak for her development as a runner. "He has more faith in me than anyone else – even myself," she said. She also credits her parents, Felicia and Michael, for their support and her great aunt, Florisa Giglio of Hawthorne, for piquing her interest in running.
"She used to run with me and still runs marathons at 65," Guerra said.
"Winning the Meet of Champions was the cherry on top of the sundae that’s been my career," Guerra said. "I’m proud of what I’ve done."
So are those who came before and will come afterward.


The project is a renovation of the Great Western Forum, former home to the Los Angeles Lakers and Kings built in 1967. The Madison Square Garden Company purchased the building and surrounding parking to renovate the venue for concert events.
Khosla Ventures: a venture capital firm run by people who listen to, analyze, and advise entrepreneurs, manages the main fund that supports early and late stage investments and a seed fund for developing very early-stage experiments. As a firm that focuses on next-generation energy projects, new materials, mobility, the Internet and silicon technology, it was imperative that the building reflects these industries.
The project required a fast-track renovation schedule that overhauled the complete building from roof to parking in just 8-months. It required full-time on-site project management to make the correct decisions on an hour to hour basis. Our crews worked over-time and shift work to complete the interior HVAC renovations on schedule for the opening event with The Eagles.
What ACCO Delivered
ACCO was responsible for the HVAC renovations which included refurbishing the two 216,000 CFM central air handling units for the concourse and bowl seating, which included new variable speed drives for the fans, rebuilt fan and coil section, new liner and sound trap assemblies. Four new custom variable volume air handling units were added to feed air conditioning to previously unconditioned areas of the building and new spaces such as the Chase Lounge, Forum Club and Star Dressing Rooms. The central plant renovation included a new 550Ton replacement chiller for the bowl and concourse areas and a new 150-Ton scroll chiller and tower for the new air handling systems. Boilers and heating hot water systems were renovated for makeup water and gas train piping. Split systems were added for new 24/7 critical load rooms that housed all the new audiovisual, electrical and telecom. The roof work included replacement fans for the seating area and a new pyrotechnic smoke purge exhaust fan system.

Integrated Geological and Geochemical Constraints for Petroleum Fluid Charge Models in the Circum-Manjiaer Region, Tarim Basin, NW China
This study describes new geochemical technologies and workflows, to provide integrated geological and geochemical constraints for the models and timing of petroleum fluid charges in the Lower Paleozoic petroleum systems in the Tarim Basin, NW China. Following the recent discovery of the Shunbei oilfield by Sinopec, the presence of several united giant petroleum plays along the Lower Ordovician carbonate platform margin in the circum-Manjiaer region has been confirmed. Conventional GC and GC-MS analysis of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbon fractions reveal at least two oil families in the study area, one carbonate rich, another more clay minerals rich. The presence of a carbonate source rock for the oils is further supported by thiophenic aromatic biomarkers recognized by FT-ICR MS analysis. As many of the heavy oils and solid bitumens in the study area have undergone different extents of biodegradation, we adopted a mild oxidation method to release the occluded molecular marker compounds from petroleum asphaltenes. The occluded compounds from the main Ordovician reservoired oils of the Tahe oilfield display an early oil window maturity and high gammacerane contents, indicative of an early formed oil from source rocks deposited in a saline and highly stratified environment. The study of hydrocarbon charge through geological time and calibration to present day fluid observations has been integrated with stable carbon isotopes, aqueous and hydrocarbon inclusions, utilizing our own newly patented technologies. Our data provide credence for the three-phase oil charge model proposed for the Lower Paleozoic petroleum systems in the circum-Manjiaer region of the Tarim Basin. In the Tahe oilfield, for example, the initial oil charge to the current Tahe location came from the local evaporitic source in the Cambrian; this was followed by oils from a carbonate rich source to the south and east of the oilfield; and more recently by fresh light oils generated from further south and east.

A survey of European developers conducted ahead of this year's GDC Europe has revealed a number of interesting facts about the future of game development on the continent.
next gen may very well be the return of the ps1/ps2 era. everyday i hear about another dev favoring the ps4 over the xbone. M$ have an uphill battle ahead of them.
Isn't that what happened with Xbox 360 and PS3. They both will be fine.
Yes, but PS3 dropped the ball hard early on, and payed for it by getting outsolf for 4-5 years. Now, they've recovered and beaten 360. As you say, both will be fine, I just like the competition.
that's true they both will be fine and I don't think PS4 will be as successful as PS2 but I think they are going to leave xbox one way behind. The negative backlash to xbox wasn't something that happened over night when Microsoft revealed a Gaming console without games. It was years in the making. Xbox core gamers (whether they admit or not, or even whether they know it or not) were a bit disappointed with xbox's core gaming support since the second half of the generation when MS pretty musch dwindled down support for gamers in favor of focusing on casuals and kinect. So these fans where eagerly waiting for Xbox to return to them with the next system and instead they got MS announcing a GAMING system bundled with kinect and ignoring anything to do with gaming plus restrictions. Microsoft miss calculated their fans disappointment and it bit them. So I think even though Xbox will be just fine, they have a difficult path ahead of them.
If Sony lock Japanese 3rd party exclusives (which I think they'll do later on), then yes, it is.
Both the PS3 and Xbox360 were PowerPC based with the PS3 being much more complex to program for. I can understand how a developer would choose one over the other this last gen. With the PS4 and XboxOne sharing the same basic architecture I'm surprised to see any third parties "choosing" a platform.
Glad to hear it, can't wait to see what they produce.
Only by a small margin and this was before the DRM reversal. I think the biggest thing to look at here is the massive mobile development.
You mean the DRM that would've helped them make more money? Remember that developers would be in favor of DRM. And there were still more on Sonys platform.
that's an epic spin. XD
Leave the 24% of the worldwide games market that is mobile/tablets out of the equation and the title is correct, Europe console dev favors PS4 over Xb1, but it seems Europe dev accounts for a very small slice of the worldwide console/pc market that is the biggest. 76% of worldwide gamers are playing on consoles/pc. Very revealing. Most europe dev can't afford/have the expertise to make AAA console/pc games. Anyways this article is more trolling than relevant.
I would say that this survey that was conducted was skewd towards Indie developers.
And the issue is? Indie developers have always been the bread-and-butter of Sony's support. What do you think Naughty Dog and Guerrilla Games, for example, were before becoming subsidiaries of SCEi?
Independant developers and "indie" developers in this sense are not the same. Most independant developers are third party devs and have publishing partners they work with. Some work with Microsoft Publishing, others Sony, EA, Ubi, etc. Bungie is now an independant third party developer. This is not the "indie" scene that is popular in todays bs debates. The indie buzzword is being thrown around to describe developers that are more hobbyist selling games for next to nothing on marketplace, PSN, itunes, etc. that can't afford to go through a publisher or in some cases get a deal with a publisher.
@ Death: False (as an Indie myself, I can tell you there's more to it). Each of these devs are just like they were in the past. You just have some who've committed to a publisher (such as Quantic Dream) and others who haven't. Not much difference at all.
So? Even if it was, what's wrong with indie devs?
I sorta agree with this
Yes, Dice prefers, the Ps4.. EA prefers M$ money.
Survey was before the XB1 180 on DRM..
Agreed. But how is that relevant? If anything it would have benefitted MS during the survey as developers make more money with DRM enforced. So I think your point is that this would be even more in Sony's favour if they did it again post-MS180, in which case you make a good point!
Funny how you can relate to those relationships
the old ms drm would favor devs. so whats your point
Sight again a misleading article trying to prove Sony's dominance in the top Story. Hurrah let's celebrate the 5% difference between both console (14% to 9%) in development now. But it's get better WOW!! 23% vs 14% think about doing a game Of course let's not talk about the fact that 66% of them think that their next project will be a mobile/tablets game And let's sure not remind the ppl here about how mobile game and such isn't consider areal game to N4G community. Again my point isn't against Sony or MS but just stating the fact that N4G as really become desperate with theses kind of article always making the headline while leaving to the bottom real gaming news. Magic prediction of the day: By the time you read this, N4G's headlines will be: a article about a dev saying how ps4 is better. A screw up from MS, a article about how ps4 is sold out at xxxx, this article and a article about how X game will take power of the ps4.
Could not agree more.
Hope they utilize its additional power.
that's the right thinking from any developer who want to succeeded in gaming bisnis
Wow really settle down kids It was One developer and I wouldn't worry too much about it as half these articles are trolled ones( or more likely Indies game devs for sure) Both Consoles will be epic get over your arguments Ps4 and ain't better then Xbox One and so goes the same with Xbox one
so if indie developer are equally important, how come no one count those indie games on xbox live as game then when talk about exclusives? NONE OF YOU regard indie games as game until now, so why suddenly they are so important? The legit Sony fan are dying off or something. I don't see how any one can respect the Sony Fan currently.
There aren't true Sony fans bro these are left overs from the Xbox360 era and by the looks of it the troublemakers trolling these threads with ignorance Both Consoles are awesome final now give up it up
Why would European devs want to make games for less than half of the continent?
Every day it's more and more negativity for the Xbox, it's almost becoming a joke.
Lol at phantom disagrees, if you disagree tell me why, if you have the words use them.

Cork and Dublin confirmed their places in the Division 1 semi-finals of the Lidl Ladies Football League this afternoon.
Mayo are in third spot following the weekend’s action, but still face a must win game next weekend, with Donegal and Galway also battling for places.
A brace of second half goals pushed Cork into the last-four, with a 3-12 to 1-11 win over Galway in Clonberne.
The Tribeswomen had been boosted with a victory over Dublin in Abbotstown last weekend, but failed to secure back-to-back wins, as Cork staged a strong second half display.
Goals from Marie O’Callaghan and Ciara O’Sullivan proved key to this Rebelettes win, in a game which was tight in the opening half.
Orla Finn netted the opening goal of the contest after just eight minutes, but by the interval the gap was just at two points, with Leanne Coen firing to the net for Galway in injury-time, as Cork led by 1-6 to 1-4 at the break.
Doireann O’Sullivan and Orlagh Farmer were involved in the lead up to O’Callaghan’s goal, as Cork moved six points clear after 41 minutes on a 2-9 to 1-6 score-line.
Ailbhe Davoren and the Leonard cousins Tracey and Roisin worked hard to keep Galway in touch and cut the gap to three points in the 50th minute.
However, Cork got on top again with Eimear Scally pumping the ball in, and Ciara O’Sullivan on handed to finish to the net, on the way to a seven-point win.
Dublin got back to winning ways with a 5-14 to 0-11 victory over Monaghan at St. Tiernach’s Park, Clones.
In cold, and sometimes wet conditions Mick Bohan’s side were well matched by the hosts early on, but a ninth minute Lyndsey Davey goal put Dublin into the driving seat and from their until the finish they lead this match.
Niamh McEvoy opened the scoring inside the first minute, before a quick response from Ciara McAnespie.
Indeed the teams traded points again, with Cora Courtney handing Monaghan the lead, before a Noelle Healy response.
Both sides were showing well defensively, and it was an Ellen McCarron free which saw Monaghan regain the lead.
Dublin put Monaghan under tremendous pressure for the remainder of the half, and although the Ulster side coped well, they found it hard at times to cope with the onslaught.
Davey cut in for a well taken goal, and although McCarron responded with a point, it was suddenly all about Dublin.
The Metropolitans fired 1-7 unanswered before the break, to take a 2-9 to 0-4 interval lead.
Healy, Nicole Owens, Sinead Aherne and Hannah O’Neill all added points, before Niamh McEvoy netted her sides second goal in the 27th minute.
11 points in arrears at the break, it was certainly tough for the Farney County to make a comeback.
Monaghan were keen to make a positive start to the second half, and got off the blocks inside two minutes of the restart, with a Cora Courtney point, followed up a minute later with her sister Rosemary on target.
But Dublin again got motoring – firstly captain Aherne claiming a point, and then a quick goal brace.
Firsly Owens on target, after good work also by Hannah O’Neill and then 30 seconds later Aherne finding the net to open up a 4-10 to 0-6 lead.
This was stretched to 17 points soon after following yet another Aherne score, before Monaghan hit back with two from McAnespie.
Healy and Barbara Ward swapped points, before second half substitute Rebecca McDonnell claimed Dublin’s fifth goal, to ensure a 5-12 to 0-10 lead with nine minutes remaining.
Monaghan were reduced to 14 players at this stage following a sin-binning for Muireann Atkinson, and this made an already tough game hard for them as Dublin finished strongly.
On Saturday, Mayo kept their hopes of a semi-final place alive with a 5-14 to 4-12 win over Donegal in a high-scoring clash at the Amenity Park in Swinford.
Boosted by being given the league points for their game against Kerry midweek, after the Kingdom fielded an unregistered player in the drawn encounter, Peter Leahy’s charges carved out an impressive five-point win.
The teams swapped early score, but Mayo dug in and following a Fiona McHale goal they led by five points after eight minutes.
The returning Geraldine McLaughlin kept the visitors in touch, and in the 15th minute registered their first goal.
Fiona Doherty pushed Mayo further ahead, but 1-2 unanswered from Donegal including a Ciara Grant goal brought the sides level for the fourth time.
The sides traded points in injury-time, with Mayo dealt a blow losing their goalkeeper Elaine Murphy to an injury.
Mayo took the lead on the restart through Grace Kelly, but 1-1 inside three minutes including a Niamh Hegarty goal put them back on top.
The sides were level for the sixth time as the final quarter approached, but Mayo dug in.
Fiona Doherty, Sinead Cafferky, Shauna Howley and Sarah Rowe helped Mayo claim four of the next five points,
Donegal lost Niamh Hegarty to a sin-bin late on, as Mayo held out for victory.
In the bottom of the table clash in Tralee, Westmeath kept their hopes of potentially staying in the top flight alive with a 1-12 to 1-6 win over Kerry.
The result means Kerry are Division 2 bound for next year.

The latest in the reboot of the Agatha Christie murder mystery adaptations lands in our in box with the arrival of A Haunting in Venice trailer. Once again Kenneth Branagh stars as the outrageously moustachioed detective Hercule Poirot (though from the trailer it looks like its been trimmed a fair bit!). An like the previous two films, Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile he also returns to direct.
The chilling teaser trailer and poster for Kenneth Branagh’s “A Haunting in Venice,” which just screened for convention attendees at the 2023 CinemaCon Convention in Las Vegas is an unsettling supernatural thriller based upon the novel “Hallowe’en Party” by Agatha Christie
“A Haunting in Venice” is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve and is a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.
Reuniting many of the filmmakers behind 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express” and 2022’s “Death on the Nile,” the film is directed by Kenneth Branagh with a screenplay by Oscar® nominee Michael Green (“Logan”) based upon Agatha Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party.
A Haunting in Venice will open in cinemas on 15th September 2023.

We integrate tactile and immersive technology to reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical training
Clinical physical examination is a skill that all medical related workforce needs to obtain. Traditional ways to train this skill include using real patients, rubber model and specimens. However, relevant studies show that every 1 in 10 patients are injured while receiving palpation practice from medical students and trainees. The rubber model’s price is relatively high, and it is difficult for trainees to evaluate their performance in a systematic way.
The aim of the project is to create a new immersive way of physical examination training, to both increase the quality of training and reduce the cost.
The project contains two parts: a haptic device to simulate the feeling of touching a real patient; a VR/AR program to make the training immersive, intuitive and efficient. The VR/AR system is an education system which can help the student to learn the medical knowledge and do self-test. The student will see a virtual patient in VR/AR, they will study about the patient’s pathology and learn to make a diagnostic. When the trainee interacts with the virtual patient, they are also touching the haptic device. The combined interaction with both the virtual and physical interfaces will enhance the training’s effectiveness.
Apply for Cohort Four
Focusing on novel solutions that address the Future of Pain our Challenge Accelerator Programme offers a salary replacement to take six-months (full-time) away from the lab to develop a medical technology into a business venture. The programme offers entrepreneurship masterclasses, specialist advice, access to co-working space and an allowance for travel and consumables (up to £45,000).Applications Closed

Keira Knightley has said that she had fun shooting David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method.
The Atonement star revealed that she felt fortunate to be filming the movie alongside co-stars Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen because they made the subject matter more enjoyable.
"It's really bizarre, because the actual process of making the movie was the opposite of what you might think," Knightley told New York Magazine.
She continued: "David Cronenberg is one of the loveliest, most interesting, most supportive men ever - as are Viggo and Michael - so I felt incredibly lucky to be with them, because it is quite harrowing subject matter.
"With other people, you could be in a nasty situation where it's quite gruelling, whereas this honestly was one of the most fun experiences I've had making a film."
The actress went on to admit that she did not sympathize with her character in the film.
"You know, quite often when you play roles, you have some sort of emotional connection with the character and you understand them at some level, but with this one, I really didn't," she confessed.
"I had absolutely no idea, and I had to desperately try not to judge it, particularly her sexual, S&M side and why somebody would want that when it's not my cup of tea."
Knightley recently signed on to star in Untouchable, playing Effie Gray in the biopic.
In June, the actress insisted that fame has not changed her as a person, crediting her mother for having brought her up well.

For Immediate Release
Strikes, Civil Disobedience by Fast-Food, Airport, Uber Workers to Headline Nationwide Fight for $15 Day of Disruption
Home Care, Child Care, Higher Education Workers to Join Tens of Thousands in Streets to Show They Won’t Back Down Following Election Defined by Frustration with Rigged Economy
NATIONWIDE - Strikes by baggage handlers and cabin cleaners at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Uber drivers in two-dozen cities, hospital workers in Pittsburgh and McDonald’s and other fast-food cooks and cashiers from coast to coast, combined with mass civil disobedience by working Americans across the service economy, will headline a nationwide Fight for $15 day of disruption Tuesday.
In addition to the strikes demanding $15 and union rights, the workers will wage their most disruptive protests yet to show they will not back down in the face of newly-elected politicians and newly-empowered corporate special interests who threaten an extremist agenda to move the country to the right. The protests, at 20 major airports, which serve 2 million passengers a day, and outside McDonald’s restaurants from Durham to Denver, will underscore that any efforts to block wage increases, gut workers’ rights or healthcare, deport immigrants, or support racism or racist policies, will be met with unrelenting opposition by workers in the Fight for $15.
Galvanized by the election and frustrated with an economy that is rigged for the rich, airport, fast-food, home care, higher education and child care workers organized the massive demonstrations to mark the fourth anniversary of the Fight for $15, a movement that has won raises for 22 million Americans since it started in 2012.
McDonald’s will also be on the hot seat overseas Tuesday, as the European Parliament holds a hearing on petitions from British, Belgian and French unions on mistreatment of the burger giant’s workers across the continent.

Washington Capitals (60-21-10) at Pittsburgh Penguins (56-22-12)
|Date & Time||Wednesday May 3, 2017, 7:30 PM (EDT)|

The Washington Capitals look to even the series and head back to the Verizon Center at two games apiece as they face off with the Pittsburgh Penguins in game four action on Wednesday night.
The Capitals netted a huge 3-2 overtime victory against the Penguins in Pittsburgh on Tuesday night to play their way back into the series and now they have a shot at retaking home ice advantage if they can earn the two game sweep on the road on Thursday night. The Caps held a 2-0 lead late in the third period but the Pens scored two goals with the goalie pulled to draw even and if not for a penalty in overtime they perhaps could have pulled off the come back and taken a 3-0 series lead but a Kevin Shattenkirk goal kept Washington’s playoff hopes alive and sets up a huge game tonight. Washington will stick with Braden Holtby who was excellent in game three as he will match up against Marc-Andre Fleury who has shown glimpses of brilliance and will need a big effort tonight if the Penguins are going to get the victory.
The Pens meanwhile are without their captain and superstar centre as Sidney Crosby was roughed up by Alex Ovechkin and Matt Niskanen in the early stages of the first period and with yet another concussion to his resume it is unsure when the Hart Trophy nominee will be back in the Pittsburgh lineup. The Pens do have a very deep crop of forwards and will lean heavily on Evegni Malkin and Phil Kessel but there is no denying that the Penguins will miss Crosby as he is the best player in the league and had been playing some of his best playoff hockey in his career. Pittsburgh will need to keep the Washington offense at bay, which they have done a good job of so far, and play to a low scoring game as they can ill afford a shootout here with Crosby sitting in the infirmary.
The Caps are 6-1 in their last seven road games and 8-2 in their last 10 against the Metro while the Pens are 6-2 in their last eight overall and 44-17 in their last 61 against the Metro. The loss of Crosby is huge and I think the Caps take advantage as they get a big win here and head back to the Verizon Center tied at two.

“You should know that no one in the world has your best interests at heart more than your parent,” he wrote.
Jamal further said a prayer for his sons, wishing God to remove difficulties from their path.

IN the 1960's, a building was considered "saved" if it was protected by landmark designation and got a decent budget for renovation.
Details of the physical changes were not too important, in large part because an understanding of how building materials actually worked was fairly primitive.
A recent project that shows how complicated "saving a building" has become is the restoration of the Gothic-style Grace Episcopal Church at Hicks Street and Grace Court in Brooklyn Heights.
The Gothic Revival began in England and this country in the 18th century in a haphazard way, usually applying picturesque Gothic details to widely varying buildings. By the 19th century there was a movement toward a Gothic based on real medieval prototypes.
In the Episcopal Church, this corresponded with a "high church" ecclesiastical movement emphasizing the liturgical aspects of the religious service over preaching or active participation by the congregation.Continue reading the main story
Richard Upjohn, who became one of the major architects of the 19th century, partook of both currents. He arrived in the United States from England in 1829 as a cabinetmaker. He shifted to architecture in the 1830's and got the commission for Trinity Church in Manhattan, the plum ecclesiastical job of the period. Completed in 1846, Trinity was the most important and explicit Gothic Revival work up to that time.
Grace Episcopal Church in Brooklyn Heights was formed as a new parish in 1847 and, with financial aid from Trinity, got a large lot at the southwest corner of Hicks Street and Grace Court. The new vestry hired Upjohn, who gave them a delicate assymetrical design, more picturesque than Trinity.
The original plan called for a square tower, immediately establishing the Gothic character of the building, and looming over a long, barn-like brownstone sanctuary with pointed windows alternating with buttresses. The tower was dropped in 1847 to save $5,000 but the church was otherwise finished in 1848 at a cost of $46,737.52.
The deep, two-bay chancel -- which pushed the altar farther from the congregation -- was part of the high-church aspect, as were the crosses installed at the roof. The roof has a reverse gambrel, apparently to allow for very high side aisles. This and the tracery along the roof line give the church a real delicacy despite its size.
In 1988, the vestry decided to systematically address various, sometimes conflicting changes to the building that had occurred over time. A team including Integrated Conservation Resources, a conservation firm; Cathedral Stone Company, a related masonry contractor; Page Cowley, a preservation architect; Ambrosino DePinto & Schmieder, mechanical engineers, and Superstructures, an engineering firm, is now at work on a facade program that will take at least five years and $1.5 million to implement.
A failing roof, misrouted drainage and other elements are under repair, but the most visible change is a stone-by-stone restoration of the exterior. Glenn Boornazian, president of Integrated Conservation Resources, said the biggest problem had not been with the notoriously fragile brownstone, but with later, careless repairs.
Up through the 70's cement patches of much greater density than the brownstone were used to try to strengthen the underlying stone, but the reverse occurred.
"The denser cement trapped water behind it that would otherwise have migrated out, and damaged the interior stone and mortar" said Mr. Boornazian.
HIS brother, Neal, found 19th-century geological surveys of the stone cited in the original Upjohn specifications to design the most compatible possible patching mix, which will affect perhaps 30 percent of the surface.
Grace Church is within the Brooklyn Heights Historic District and the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved samples of varying color to approximate the original broad palate of the stone, from deep chocolate to light tan. Missing finials and other details have also been replaced with castings design to match the original masonry in mass, density, vapor transmission rates and other factors.
"What we're trying to do is get rid of everything that's incompatible with the original construction" said Mrs. Cowley.Continue reading the main story

A British store owner has come up with a new way to curb litter in her village and has already seen a 40 percent drop.
Yvonne Froud, 52, said she uses a black permanent marker to write the names of buyers on candy wrappers, bags of chips and beverage containers to identify the litterbugs of Joys Green, England.
Those children who litter anyway face penalties, including temporary bans from Froud’s store and periods of litter-picking duty.
“I was so disgusted by the litter I had to do something about it,” the shopkeeper told The Daily Mail. “Now if we find packets around the village we know who they belong to. I will do it with adults if they start littering, too.”
This may not work in Winnipeg, but perhaps in smaller communities. I like the idea.
