A woman being investigated for her role in the case of missing Colorado mother Kelsey Berreth has been identified as a 32-year-old nurse from Twin Falls, Idaho, two of the woman's family members and a law enforcement source told ABC News.
ABC News is withholding reporting the woman's name because she has not been publicly identified by law enforcement investigators.
Kelsey Berreth is pictured in an undated handout photo.
Sources told ABC News that the woman is being investigated for disposing of Berreth's cellphone in Idaho. Investigators had previously said that Berreth's phone was detected in Idaho on Nov. 25, three days after Thanksgiving when the 29-year-old mother was last seen publicly.
"I cannot comment on who is being solicited," Dan May, the district attorney for Colorado's 4th Judicial District, said previously.
The Twin Falls, Idaho, Police Department said in a statement in December that its officers had helped serve search warrants connected to Berreth's disappearance.
On the same day Berreth's cellphone pinged in Idaho, her employer, Doss Aviation, in Pueblo, Colorado, received a text message, presumably from Berreth, stating that she would not be able to work the following week, police said.
Missing woman Kelsey Berreth is seen entering a Safeway grocery store in Woodland Park, Colo, in surveillance video from Nov. 22, 2018.
Patrick Frazee, the fiance of missing Colorado mother Kelsey Berreth, is pictured in a booking photo released on Dec. 21, 2018.
ABC News' Bill Hutchinson contributed to the reporting in this story.

Oklahoma Receives 10,000 COVID-19 Test Kits From Federal Government
Thursday, March 26th 2020, 7:25 am
By: Aaron Brilbeck
The state of Oklahoma received 10,000 COVID-19 test kits from the federal government.
The test kits were brought to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater where the university has the ability to test those kits. Doctors from across the state will send test swabs for testing to be completed, in-state, as opposed to having to ship the tests out of state.
Gov. Kevin Stitt toured a lab on Thursday at the OSU campus. The lab there will be used to test samples from all over the state.
The administration worked with the FDA to get approval for this type of testing.
It will allow thousands of Oklahomans to be tested with very quick turnaround.
"We'll be up and testing tomorrow, and it will take us one day. We will be able to turn tests out in one day. Before, hospitals were shipping out to California or Colorado," Stitt told News 9 in an exclusive interview. "Now, we're going to be able to open this up and we are going to be able to test Oklahomans the way we need to."
For anybody who believes they need to be tested, they are advised to still call their doctor first.
The governor says he doesn't want folks coming to Stillwater to get the tests. He says still go through the regular channels calling your doctor or healthcare provider.

Remember Ridge Alkonis
Another unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan against the United States
Brittany Alkonis with her three children outside the White House (Alkonis family)
Washington Free Beacon Editors
There was a flurry of news coverage last year—and again over the summer—when the Japanese tossed United States Navy Lt. Ridge Alkonis behind bars for his role in a car crash that left two dead.
Alkonis and his family had been hiking Mt. Fuji when, on the drive home, the sailor blacked out behind the wheel, plowing into parked cars and a pair of pedestrians. A Japanese court rejected a neurologist's diagnosis of altitude sickness, which can cause blackouts, and over the summer another Japanese judge upheld a conviction of three years in prison for negligent driving.
Just 4 percent of those similarly charged in Japan ended up serving any prison time at all, according to the Washington Post, so it's a mystery why a stalwart American ally is treating one of our service members this way—and why, in turn, President Joe Biden and his administration aren't rattling the cages to get Alkonis back.
Traipsing across Capitol Hill a couple of weeks back, our colleague met Brittany Alkonis, Ridge's wife, and their three children. Their ordeal continues, and they were there calling attention to the case in the hope that Biden might step in as he has done for Brittney Griner, held in Russia, and most recently for a cadre of Citgo executives held unlawfully in Venezuela. In fact, Mrs. Alkonis has heard not one word from the administration since her husband was first detained—not a phone call, not a note, nothing other than a perfunctory conversation with the U.S. ambassador to Japan Rahm Emmanuel at the start of this ordeal.
Administration officials tell us that Vice President Kamala Harris raised the issue privately with Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo last month—but that fact has for some reason not been conveyed to the Alkonis family. Nor was it conveyed to the traveling press pool, who, per the transcripts from Harris's trip, asked not a single question about Alkonis's detention. A patriot and family man who stands at attention for the national anthem, Alkonis won't elicit the kind of sympathy and concern from the press corps that Griner did.
The Japanese are apparently bristling at what little public attention the case has generated, which is why Harris and others are engaged in behind-the-scenes conversations. Maybe that is the right tack, though there is no evidence to suggest so thus far. At the very least, the president should give Brittany Alkonis an audience, which would telegraph to the Japanese that the administration takes the matter seriously. For her part, Mrs. Alkonis says she will not leave Washington until the administration speaks with her.
The Japanese are an important American ally in a critical region and at a time of growing threats. But so long as they hold Alkonis hostage, there should be no business as usual. Every effort must be made to bring this American home to his family.

JAPAN POP ENERGY!
This program consists of a collection of past award-winning works from the Japan Media Arts Festival which impart a sense of contemporary Japanese pop culture. Such items as TANAKA Hideyuki's Berobero, which takes the town of Shinjuku as its stage, and the skillful Japanese-style animations of young directors UEKUSA Wataru and ISHIDA Hiroyasu, are expressions of bold self-assertion beneath the pop veneer.

Peyton Manning reflects on Ryan Leaf's latest prison sentence
By Mike Klis
Peyton Manning, right, then a quarterback with the Indianapolis Colts, meets with San Diego Chargers quarterback Ryan Leaf after the Colts defeated the Charges 17-12 in Indianapolis, Sunday, Oct. 4, 1998. The win was Manning's first win in the NFL. (Michael Conroy, The Associated Press)
It's incomprehensible to consider that in the weeks leading up to the 1998 NFL Draft, there was serious debate about Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf.
Manning has passed his way into the conversation of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Leaf was sentenced Tuesday to five years in a Texas prison for violating terms of his probation. Leaf will quickly be out on parole because of time served in Montana.

Ravens owner: We should have seen the Ray Rice tape earlier
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti. (Harry How, Getty Images)
A day after deciding to release his star running back, Ray Rice, because of a video that surfaced of him punching his then fiancee in February, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti issued a letter to fans who "deserve an explanation."
Bisciotti wrote that the decision to cut Rice "was unanimous" after he and other in the team's front office viewed latest videotape. Bisciotti also admitted that the team fell short in its investigation of Rice and that it should have viewed the tape earlier than Monday, when it was published by TMZ Sports.
Below is the letter in full:
What would it take to remove Roger Goodell as NFL commissioner?
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that the league had not seen the second video of Ray Rice assaulting his wife. (David Goodman, The Associated Press)
The Ray Rice incident, which first unfolded in February when a video was released of the then Ravens running back dragging his unconscious wife out of a casino elevator, has put considerable heat on the NFL, especially commissioner Roger Goodell.
Five months later, after the league supposedly investigated the issue fully and the case made its way through the legal system, Goodell issued a two-game ban without pay for Rice. He was also entered in June into the league's "diversion program," which upon completion could have led to the charges being expunged. But his suspension and required counseling paled in comparison to the penalties of players who smoke marijuana or commit much less severe infractions.
Roughly a month after the two-game ban was issued, the league altered its policy for handing domestic violence cases and will now issue six-game bans to first-time offenders and lifetime bans to repeat offenders. Goodell also issued a letter to all NFL personnel, apologizing for his handling of the Rice case and admitting he let their standards "fall below where they should be" with the Rice case.
But the good karma was short-lived for Goodell. A week later, a second video, a much more damning video, of Rice punching his then fiancee in the elevator, surfaced. There was no denying Rice's involvement in the incident now. The Ravens promptly released him and the NFL suspended him indefinitely, but numerous questions were left unanswered.

Terrance Knighton: Ray Rice should be "thrown out of the NFL and thrown into jail"
By Daniel Petty
Broncos co-captain Terrance Knighton called for Ray Rice to be "thrown out of the NFL and thrown into jail" in a series of tweets after previously undisclosed security footage released on Monday showed Rice throwing a left punch to the face of his then-fiancée, knocking her out cold.
The NFL said that league officials had never before seen the low-resolution footage — obtained by the gossip website TMZ and published Monday. The Ravens responded by cutting Rice, and the NFL followed shortly after by suspending him indefinitely after first giving him a two-game suspension for the incident, a punishment widely panned for being too lenient. Footage released publicly before had shown Rice only dragging an unconscious Janay Palmer, now his wife, out of an Atlantic City hotel elevator, not the altercation itself.

Leadership varies, coming in different sizes and voices.
The Broncos provided an example on Monday, naming their five captains. As voted on by the players, the holdovers were quarterback Peyton Manning and free safety/special teams ace David Bruton. Of more interest were the new faces: defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, defensive end DeMarcus Ware and receiver Demaryius Thomas.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has been suspended for the season opener against Tennessee for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.
Bowe was pulled over for speeding in a Kansas City suburb on Nov. 10, and was arrested after police found a black bag containing his wallet, driver's license and two containers of suspected marijuana. He later pleaded guilty to amended charges of defective equipment and littering, and his attorney said there was no admission of guilt for the marijuana charge, which was dismissed.

Matt Russell begins his work release detention at Arapahoe County Jail

Matt Russell, the former University of Colorado star linebacker who is now John Elway's top deputy as Broncos director of player personnel, has begun his 6 1/2-month work release sentence at Arapahoe County Jail.
Russell, 41, pleaded guilty in a Summit County courtroom in May to driving under the influence of alcohol and careless driving resulting in injury. The judge said during sentencing that he was prepared to give Russell the maximum one year sentence because of the injuries suffered by a Breckenridge police officer. The policeman was sitting in a parked vehicle when Russell slammed into the vehicle from behind.
However, the judge took into account Russell has sincerely attempted to rehabilitate his life as he's remained sober since his drunk driving incident occurred on July 6, 2013.

BRONCOS SIGN DRAFT PICKS CODY LATIMER, MATT PARADIS, COREY NELSON
One of the last teams to bother with the formality of signing draft picks, the Broncos got busy on the first business day of June by finalizing four-year contracts with second-round receiver Cody Latimer, sixth-round center Matt Paradis and seventh-round linebacker Corey Nelson.
The Broncos and St. Louis Rams were the only two NFL teams who had yet to sign a draft pick through Sunday. There is no hurry, though, because since the most dramatic change in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, all draft picks are pretty much slotted into contracts.

JOHN ELWAY'S SON ARRESTED; ACCUSED OF ASSAULTING GIRLFRIEND
John Albert Elway III, 24, was charged early Saturday morning with assault and disturbing the peace, police reported. He was released from the Denver jail on a $550 bond after being arrested at his father's Cherry Hills Village home. His next court date is Thursday.
In an alleged fight with his girlfriend, Jack Elway, the son of Broncos executive vice president of football operations and general manager John Elway, ripped out pieces of the woman's hair and pushed her to the ground.

Broncos Insider: Peyton Manning and Co. return to field for 2014 OTAs
PEYTON MANNING, RYAN CLADY AMONG BRONCOS BACK AT WORKThe Broncos aren't wasting any time moving forward from the Super Bowl disappointment. In their first organized team practice this offseason, they ran through their drills and plays quickly.
Peyton Manning, as always, was leading the way through crisp work, that had groups switching in and out and the horn blowing repeatedly to signal for the next assignment. Health brought good news as pass rusher Von Miller worked out on a limited basis, continuing to show progress from anterior cruciate ligament surgery. Chris Harris, the team's top returning cornerback, went through agility work. >> MORE PHOTOS FROM OTAs
—Troy E. Renck, The Denver Post
FIVE QUESTIONS FOR BRONCOS AS OTAs BEGIN
The Broncos enter this new offseason program with several questions, starting with their finish to the 2013 season.
1. Can the Broncos put their Super Bowl embarrassment behind them? Last season was about overcoming the devastating "Flacco Fling." Led by Manning's daily enjoyment of details, the Broncos responded by going 13-3 to earn the No.1 AFC playoff seed for a second consecutive season, then winning two home playoff games.
This year will be about overcoming the 43-8 shellacking they received from the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII.

Aside from California Chrome racing to victory, the indelible image of the Kentucky Derby in Denver was Wes Welker handing out $100 bills.
Outfitted in bright clothes and license-and-registration sunglasses, Welker was spotted by TMZ sharing his winnings with random fans at the derby. Problem is Churchill Downs says that money wasn't all his because of a "tote malfunction," according to ESPN.
The track made the mistake, and would like some of its money back.

Broncos Insider: Denver drafts CB Bradley Roby in first round
BRONCOS DRAFT CB BRADLEY ROBY IN FIRST ROUND
The Broncos filled one of their greatest needs Thursday by selecting highly skilled but troubled Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby with the No. 31 pick in the first round of the NFL draft. In terms of talent, some NFL scouts believe Roby was among the best cornerbacks in this draft. He has good size (5-foot-11, 194 pounds) and is fast (4.34 seconds in the 40-yard dash). Although Broncos general manager John Elway said Chris Harris would remain the starting right corner opposite Aqib Talib, the plan is for Roby to come in on nickel situations. Roby would then play the boundary, or outside corner while Harris would move in to the nickel, or field back.

BRONCOS MISSED OUT ON MARQISE PLAYER
On a draft night when the theme was stopping Peyton Manning, the Broncos drafted defense when they took Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby. Was Roby the best player available? No way. Denver drafted for need. With Manning 38 years old, there is no tomorrow. The Broncos need to win the Super Bowl. Now.
If you ask me, clearly the best player available when the Broncos selected at No. 31 in the first round was Southern Cal receiver Marqise Lee, who has Pro Bowl potential.

JOHNNY MANZIEL PLUMMETS TO BROWNS AT NO. 22
What seemed like days after the Texans took pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney with the first pick of the NFL draft Thursday night, hours after the Jaguars selected quarterback Blake Bortles third overall, and minutes after the Cowboys grabbed lineman Zack Martin at No. 16, Manziel sat and sipped. Johnny Football became Johnny Free Fall. After multiple bottles of water, Manziel was taken by the Browns with the 22nd pick. They traded into that slot. "It was tough," Manziel told the NFL Network of his 2-hour, 48-minute line to the podium. "There was a little bit of anxiousness, a little bit of nervousness. I will pour my heart out for this team."

C.J. Mosley was high on list for Denver Broncos in 2014 NFL Draft

No disrespect to Bradley Roby. He's a highly talented cornerback prospect. It's just that no team waiting until the No. 31 draft pick winds up with its first choice.
The Broncos had Virginia Tech's Kyle Fuller right there with Roby at the top of their cornerback board. But Fuller went No. 14 to the Chicago Bears. Starting with Pittsburgh's pick at No. 15, the Broncos then tried to trade up and get Alabama middle linebacker C.J. Mosley.
But the asking price by the Steelers at No. 15, Dallas Cowboys at No. 16 and Baltimore Ravens at No. 17 were deemed too steep. The Ravens took Mosley at No. 17 and the Broncos spent the rest of the draft hoping Roby would be there.

Denver billboards ramp up trash talk before Broncos and Seahawks in the Super Bowl
By Ryan Parker
The trash talking is already in full swing around Denver before the Super Bowl, with multiple billboard displays and marquees taking shots at the Seattle Seahawks — namely their cornerback Richard Sherman.
Sherman has been almost as big of a conversation piece as the Super Bowl itself after he went off on 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree's "sorry, mediocre" play during multiple post-game interviews after Seattle beat San Francisco 23-17 in NFC championship on Sunday.
Now, he's become a point of rancor in Denver.
A marquee at the Hornet bar on South Broadway in Denver compared Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey to Seattle's "chump" (presumably Sherman).

Broncos Stat of the Day: J.J. Watt, Von Miller, the draft class of 2011 and sacks
By Joan Niesen
L: J.J. Watt defends Peyton Manning's pass. R: Von Miller sacks Tom Brady (Joe Amon, The Denver Post)
With the Broncos heading to Houston for Sunday's game against the Texans, let's take a look at the NFL's best pass rushers of 2012, who are about to meet up after 2013 seasons that have held a whole lot less fanfare. (And no, I can't promise that every future Stat of the Day post will be this detailed.)
A year ago, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and Broncos linebacker Von Miller were wrapping up seasons in which they logged 20.5 and 18.5 sacks, respectively, each falling just short of Michael Strahan's single-season record of 22.5. (Oh, and Aldon Smith finished 2012 with 19.5 sacks, to boot.) It was the year of the 2011 draft class on defense, with the league's three best players on three of its best teams, poised for big things in the year to come.
Funny how things can turn out.

That said, a few stories were circulating on Twitter Thursday morning about the issue specifically and the bigger picture behind it, and I figured they might be worth sharing.
First and foremost, there's this, from The Denver Post's own Benjamin Hochman: "The Miami Dolphins' issues shine light on bullying, hazing." Read it.
Another spectacular read appeared on Grantland this morning. It's "Man Up," by Brian Phillips. Read it, read it, read it.
I also found this story, which was being tweeted around a bit. It's from back in 2011 and from The Nation, which is hardly a sports publication. That said, "Jocks vs. Pukes," by Robert Lipsyte, is a really good look at jock culture in sports. You know the drill: Read it.

Broncos Q&A: Do these Broncos have more to overcome than any other team has before?
Peyton Manning. (John Leyba, The Denver Post)
(Ignore first the fact that obstacles are unquantifiable. We'll just have to move past that.)
This question comes from @Bronco_LG on Twitter, and of course, it's a matter of opinion. In addition, I'd like to sort of narrow the question, if that's okay.
Do they have more to overcome than any team before? Certainly no. Do they have more to over come than any NFL team before? Again, negative.

Hamza Abdullah, former Broncos safety, rips NFL, NFLPA for failing to take care of players' health

Former Denver Broncos safety Hamza Abdullah, who played with the Broncos from 2005 to 2008, railed against the NFL, NFL Players Association, the NFL combine and commissioner Roger Goodell on his Twitter feed on Thursday, saying — among other things — that major hits he took in 2007 against the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs while in Denver were misdiagnosed.
"Every player understood the risks of playing football, and we did it, and would do it over again!" Abdullah said on Twitter (warning: NSFW), before deleting that and many other messages laced with anger and profanity. "We just thought (and) assumed we would be taken care of after we were done.
"The reason players cover their injuries up, is because the contracts aren't guaranteed."

Von Miller's return to the Broncos about trust — including Peyton Manning's
Von Miller. (John Leyba, The Denver Post)
Von Miller sat down with The Denver Post for an in-depth interview before his return. Here's Part 1 of what he said. Part 2 is below…
Denver Broncos fans care about Von Miller's well-being as a person, sure. But forgive them if selfishly their primary concern is Miller doesn't trip up again. He has proven to be a great defensive player. In his first two NFL seasons, he had 30 sacks in 31 games.
He's already missed a significant portion of his third season and if he messes up again, he could be suspended for a full season. Why should they trust he will stay clean from now on?
"Trust, it's hard to earn it. And it's easy to lose it," he said. "I don't have a problem with that. I'm not going anywhere. I'm excited about the opportunity to earn everybody's trust back.
"I can't sit here today and say this and say that. It wouldn't be logical. I can tell them that I'm taking it one day at a time and doing everything in my power to never be an issue. But I have to take it one day at a time."

'Flat-Earthers' plan trip to Antarctica to reach 'end of the world' and prove bizarre conspiracy theory that planet isn't round
CONSPIRACY theorists are heading to the "end of the world" in a bizarre bid to prove the Earth isn't a sphere.
The 'Flat Earthers' are to sail to Antarctica to find the frozen barrier they believe marks the edge of our world.
Some 'Flat Earthers' are convinced the Earth is a disc surrounded by frozen ice
The supposed 'ice wall' is said to be several hundred meters thick, towers 50 metres high and surrounds the entire planet.
Next year's trip – details of which are being kept under wraps – is being organised by the Flat Earth International Conference (FEIC).
Even YouTube star Logan Paul wants to join the expedition so he can "find the facts" behind the bonkers theories.
FEIC founder Robbie Davidson told Forbes: "If you take a globe and you squish it down, the Antarctic would go all the way around the Earth.
"It's kind of like an ice shore and it's very, very large. It's not like you just go there, and you can just peek over it.
"We don't believe anything can fall off the edge, because a big portion of the flat earth community believes that we're in a dome, like a snow globe.
"So the sun, moon, and stars are all inside. It's very high but all contained inside. So there's no way to actually fall off of the earth."
What is flat earth theory?
Flat earth theory is an archaic conception that the earth is shaped as a plane or a disk.
The idea was first seen in ancient cultures including the Romans until the classical period.
The theory is generally accepted as being disproved by Aristotle in 330BC but the idea of the earth being a sphere was suggested by Pythagoras in the 6th century.
However, the flat earth theory still holds weight today with some sects in society such as the Flat Earth Society.
Modern flat earth theories believe earth is a disc or a pentagon which is surrounded by mountains or a wall of ice.
They believe that the earth being round is a lie put out by the government – making it into a conspiracy theory.
Some of the theories suggests that the earth doesn't orbit the sun but is instead fixed to a mobile in space, others claim it has a downward orbit.
Many flat earth theories rely on literal interpretations of biblical literature which provide the basis for the beliefs.
The conspiracy theory has risen to prominence recently as social media has provided a platform for flat earth theories to be shared and discussed.
However, many are quick to point out the ship taking them will use navigational equipment which counts on the Earth being a sphere.
Global Position Systems in particular use a network of satellites that orbit the Earth to ping off of each other and pinpoint one's location.
In a report by The Guardian, Henk Keijer, a longtime cruise ship captain gave his thoughts on the FEIC's plans.
"I have sailed two million miles, give or take, he said. "I have not encountered one sea captain who believes the Earth is flat."
Some people believe the world is flat because they cannot see a curve in photos or when travelling.
Others claim images showing the world as a sphere are generated on a computer and not actually taken from space.
A general consensus by flat earthers is that the idea of the world as round is a way Nasa can dupe society along with governments to keep control.
The Flat Earth Society suggest "the space agencies of the world" conspired to fake "space travel" to hide the Earth's '"biggest secret.".

Ten Foreign Policy Challenges: Strategic Priorities until 2018
ten foreign policy challenges strategic priorities until 2018
The Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), the Institute of International Relations and the Analysis Group of the International Conjuncture at the University of São Paulo, held on September 5 the Roundtable event "Ten Foreign Policy Challenges: Strategic Priorities until 2018".
The initiative is part of the activities of CEBRI's Thematic Program on International Relations and Foreign Policy, which has been devoted to think about the main challenges that Brazil needs to face to ensure an international action in accordance with its interests and relevance. Under the coordination of CEBRI Senior Fellow Matias Spektor, specialists were selected to elaborate ten papers about many themes of the international agenda, seeking to contribute to the construction of a positive Brazilian foreign policy agenda. The project, funded by KAS, aims to promote reflection and dialogue with public and private actors and to offer conditions for the Brazilian society to choose appropriate ways for political, economic and social development.
Rafael Benke, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, represented CEBRI at the meeting. Representing KAS was Jan Woishnik, Representative of the Foundation in Brazil; representing the IRI/USP, Amâncio de Oliveira, Vice-Chairman of IRI/USP and representing the GACINT/USP, Ricardo Sennes, General Coordinator of the Group and CEBRI Senior Fellow, and Alberto Pfeifer, Assistant Coordinator of the Group. The meeting also had the presence of authors of the project's papers: Diego Bonomo, international trade specialist; Erico Esteves, Professor of Strategic Studies and International Relations of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul; Marcos Tourinho, Associate Researcher of the Programme for the Study of International Governance, of the Institute of International High Studies and Development in Geneva; Oliver Stuenkel, Professor and Coordinator of CPDOC/FGV-SP and Matias Spektor, CEBRI Senior Fellow and Professor at FGV-SP; in addition to academic representatives of the private sector, notably, IPEA's chairman, Ernesto Lozardo.

Nokia announced Tuesday that it has closed the acquisition of Withings S.A. earlier than had been anticipated.
"Through this acquisition, originally announced on April 26, 2016, Nokia Technologies has established a new Digital Health business unit led by Cédric Hutchings, formerly CEO of Withings, who reports to Ramzi Haidamus, president of Nokia Technologies," a statement emailed to MMW reads.
The Digital Health business unit combines the talented employees from Withings and experts from the preventive health and patient care teams in Nokia Technologies. The new business unit builds on the pioneering work of Withings, offering a family of award-winning digital health products designed to fit seamlessly into people's lives, empowering them to make smarter decisions about the health and wellbeing of themselves and their families.
According to a new report from VRJournal, Nokia made it official on Tuesday. The company is acquiring Withings, a leader in the connected health revolution.
The deal, which will likely close in the third quarter of this year, is worth a reported $191 million.
"We have said consistently that digital health was an area of strategic interest to Nokia, and we are now taking concrete action to tap the opportunity in this large and important market," Rajeev Suri, president & CEO of Nokia was quoted in a statement emailed to VRJournal.
There are many ways in which wearable technology can improve one's health and wellness. This includes monitoring of everything from blood glucose levels, blood oxygen levels, and vital signs. With the growing popularity of wearable technology, and the direct connection between health and safe driving, Ford is now exploring ways to accommodate Internet connected devices within their vehicles.
According to the Wall Street Journal, while Ford is not looking to enter the healthcare industry, they are looking to support the daily lives of their drivers. Think of this along the same lines as having a built-in iPod jack or built-in DVD player.

Those who know me well know that, though I use Facebook - mainly as an outlet for Well-Met Men and other like-minded posts - I have for a while not been a fan. What is intended to be a way to connect with friends become almost every week less and less about connecting with them and more a focused advertising tool. The one step that changed it was when they took your profile likes and made them actual 'Likes' and filled your screen with posts from that subject (not to mention what everyone is accomplishing in games). But there are good things about Facebook, such as the Causes app, and now they just released a new feature that ups the ante. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today the addition of a new tool on Facebook that will allow users to share their organ donor status with their friends, and if you aren't currently signed up they make it easy to do so.
ABC News covered the story here.
To make the statement, go to your timeline, click on "Life Event," select "Health and Wellness," and add the new option "choose Organ Donor." If you want you can add where and when you registered and include a note or comment.
I have already posted on the importance of signing up for organ donation, as well as an amazing story of one. I recommend reading those stories, and if you have not signed up yet, implore you to do so today. After all last month was Organ Donor awareness month, you would just be a day late, let's not put it off and be a day late if the scenario presents itself.

So what would you do with €700 million?
I love cathedrals: the spaciousness, the stone flag floors and rising columns, archways and sensual stained glass. The echoes of history, walls soaked in hymns and chanting, the overall aura of something sacred that often makes me want to kneel and pray in gratitude for everything I have. Whenever I go to a new city, if there's a cathedral to be visited, I'll be there. Notre Dame is (was, will be again) a glorious and exceptional, icon-filled national icon, constructed back in the mid 12th century, and completed by King Louis V11 in 1345.
But, I confess I shed no tears as it burnt. Because like every other cathedral in the world, it is a beautiful shell, and though I don't doubt it's deep religious symbolism to many Christians, and non-Christians, people are far more important than any structure however beautiful or awe-insipring.
According to hot-off-the-press news sources, €700 million has already been pledged towards reconstructing Notre Dame by some very rich and famous businessman, including Patrick Poyanne, CEO of French oil company Total, who's pledged €100 million. This hefty donation follows on from Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo's €50 million donation, whilst L'Oréal and the Bettencourt-Schueller Foundation has committed €200 million. The whiff of irony here is two-fold: first of all, this list of those with deep pockets full of readies makes no reference to any forthcoming dosh from the Catholic Church itself, which given the Church is worth an estimated $10-$15 billion (its Italian stock holdings alone run to some $1.6 billion says Time Magazine), does make you wonder why it isn't coughing up for these repairs.
Secondly, these donations could be doing a hell of a lot more than paying for the reconstruction of a mediaeval Catholic cathedral owned by the French Ministry of Culture. Such as supporting some of the 68.5 million estimated refugees across the world, including some 4.39 million displaced across Europe. Having recently spent several months working in a refugee camp on the Greek isle of Samos, I know what conditions are like for some refugee communities in Europe: it is shocking and haunting to see people surviving in squalor (wet tents, no toilets, no access to showers, vital psychological support services, nor any vision of a future) in Greece. A fraction of €700 million would utterly transform the lives of thousands of displaced individuals, including unaccompanied children, some of whom were sleeping under trees outside the camp in Samos, without even a tent to shelter them.
And then there is climate change, or rather climate catastrophe. According to the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) the costs of adapting to climate change in 'developing countries' could rise to between US$280 – 500 billion. That's a fair whack more than it costs to repair a cathedral, and would be of a lot more benefit to most people in this world. We are all contributing to climate degradation, though some much more than others. At the end of 2015, Total (now donating €100 million to Notre Dame) was fined more just £1 million for safety breaches that led to a potentially catastrophic leak at the Elgin Gas Platform in the North Sea. According to the Guardian newspaper, between 2000 and late 2012, at least 4,123 North Sea oil leaks were reported, and just seven fines were issued to oil companies during the same period. Which really scrapes the barrel in terms of corporate deterrence.
The World Economic Forum, in its recent Global Risk Report says that for the third year in a row environmental risks represent the greatest threat facing the world, ranking three out of five in terms of (impact) likelihood. Climate mitigation strategies cost money, and as Extinction Rebellion are showing us, we cannot afford to ignore the catastrophe towering in front of us that is of our own making.
So, what would you do with €700 million? Support refugees, build climate adaptation mechanisms for all our futures, or rebuild a mediaeval cathedral despite the awesomely rich Catholic church? Jesus himself was a fierce iconoclast who lambasted the temple rulers for hoarding wealth: in terms of Notre Dame's potent religiosity, the most symbolic act of all would be to give these donations to those who need them the most.

Dear Louisa,
Seven years ago I read your book 'Hearing Birds Fly' (in Dutch: 'Ik hoor de vogels vliegen') for the first time and enjoyed it a lot. Now I have re-read it and it really touches me again.
Thank you for this wonderful book.
Do you still have contact with the people there?
I admire your wanderlust and strength.
P.s. With 700 million euros I wouldn't build a church but help the poor. And also find myself a small house in nature for myself, my cats and my old mother and hire a private nurse for her, so she can leave the house for the elderly (even though it's the best solution for her now). I would prefer helping animals who have no home, cats and dogs. Perhaps keep some pigs for fun.
For some years I was raised Catholic, but I'm glad my parents didn't force any religion, we didn't go to church later and I really dislike the awesomely rich Catholic church now. Even though I now people feel comforted by their belief in it.

GOP governors answer Texas' call to send forces to the border. But what is their role?
A member of the Texas Military Department stands guard along the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday, May 11, 2021, in Roma, Texas.
By Amy Sherman July 2, 2021
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, both Republicans, sent letters to governors asking them to send law enforcement personnel to the border. Governors of Florida, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Arkansas are among those who have responded.
The total costs for states are unclear. A wealthy GOP donor agreed to give South Dakota $1 million through his foundation to support the deployment.
Border enforcement is a federal responsibility, but states can play a role.
It started with a plea from the Republican governors of Texas and Arizona.
"We respectfully but urgently request that you send all available law enforcement resources to the border in defense of our sovereignty and territorial integrity," Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona wrote June 10 in a letter to other governors.
Their Republican colleagues in multiple states, including Florida, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas and Idaho, heeded the call, announcing that they are sending state troopers or National Guard troops to the border.
It's unclear what these out-of-state forces will be empowered to do, and some states aren't offering much detail. Based on what we've gathered, they will be limited to investigative work and backing up highway patrols
Abbott and Ducey say that they were prompted to act because the Biden administration's "failure to enforce federal immigration laws causes harms that spill over into every state," such as drug smuggling.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says southwest land border encounters for fiscal year 2021, which includes the end of Trump's term and Biden's tenure so far, are up compared with the past few years. (Encounters data refers to events, not people, so a person making multiple attempts to cross the border would be counted more than once.)
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in March that the U.S. is "on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years."
National Guard personnel have been deployed to the border in the past under the orders of presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, but it is far more unusual for a governor to request personnel from faraway states to help at the border.
A CBP spokesperson said the federal agency will continue to leverage its longstanding relations with state and local law enforcement, but referred questions about Texas' move to state officials.
Tasks include help with drug interdiction investigations, vehicle maintenance
During the past few months, Abbott and Ducey have taken a series of steps in response to illegal immigration at the border. On May 31, Abbott declared a state of disaster and directed law enforcement to help prevent criminal activity. The state has deployed 1,000 state troopers and 500 National Guard members, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
In June, Abbott announced that he would use $250 million in state funds and crowdsourced private funds to continue to build barriers along the border.
Arizona has also sent state troopers and National Guard forces to its own border with Mexico.
Abbott and Ducey made their request to states through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. The compact, which was ratified by Congress in 1996, is a partnership among all the states to provide mutual aid in times of emergencies, historically for disasters such as hurricanes or wildfires. The compact's website did not list border enforcement as a past use by the states.
The states that responded are offering limited information about what tasks their forces will handle.
A spokesperson for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Gretl Plessinger, told us that assignments would vary daily based on needs but that agents and analysts are working investigations associated with human smuggling, drugs and weapon smuggling. Each Florida agent is paired with one from Texas.
Plessinger said that Texas has provided Florida officers with arrest powers through the compact but "we aren't enforcing immigration laws."
Arkansas National Guard Members will be under operational control of the Texas National Guard and help with vehicle maintenance. Arkansas will cover personnel and travel costs for an estimated 20 to 30 people, while Texas will cover lodging.
"These are all verbal agreements at this point as we are early in the coordination and planning process," said Shealyn Sowers, a spokesperson for Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
Idaho will send five state troopers on a 21-day mission starting July 6 to help Arizona State Police with intelligence gathering and investigative work related to drug interdiction at the border. The troopers will have the same authority given to Arizona state troopers.
Federal government has tapped states to help in the past
There is precedent for states to help the federal government with border issues, but their authority is limited, said Michele Waslin, program coordinator for the Institute for Immigration Research at George Mason University.
"State police and National Guard cannot enforce immigration laws; they cannot deport people, but they can assist the federal government," Waslin said.
Jessica Bolter, an immigration expert at the Migration Policy Institute, said that in the past, state troopers have conducted surveillance and been tasked with making arrests to enforce anti-smuggling/trafficking laws. But arrests have more often taken place for more minor offenses, such as drunken driving and minor drug charges.
The four states that border Mexico — Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas — have cooperated with the federal government in the past and devoted additional funding and resources to border enforcement.
For example, in 2006, they all signed pacts with the federal government to allow National Guard personnel to help patrol the border area and support federal efforts as part of Operation Jump Start.
In July 2014, then-Gov. Rick Perry ordered 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the border in response to the influx of unaccompanied children. In 2010, Arizona's then-Gov. Jan Brewer announced a border security plan that included National Guard reconnaissance, aerial patrolling and military exercises.
But the federal government has most of the authority to enforce immigration laws, and defines only a limited role for state and local police.
Federal law allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enter into agreements with state and local agencies and train officers to carry out civil immigration law enforcement functions. But state and local governments can participate only under federal supervision.
For criminal enforcement, Congress has authorized state and local police to arrest violators of two criminal immigration provisions: one barring smuggling and trafficking, and another targeting people who reenter the country illegally following removal, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
Still, state and local police powers are limited.
"First, they cannot stop individuals solely to inquire about their immigration status. There must be another primary reason to detain someone for violating a criminal statute. And the duration of detention cannot exceed what is necessary for criminal law enforcement purposes," the Migration Policy Institute wrote. "And second, state and local authorities can detain someone they suspect of illegally reentering the United States only until federal immigration agents arrive and take that person into custody."
Historically, the Texas Department of Public Safety personnel has worked well with the Border Patrol, said Gil Kerlikowske, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection from 2014 to 2017.
"They make traffic stops and also coordinate air surveillance," Kerlikowske said. The role of the state public safety personnel and National Guard generally has been to observe and report or do administrative office work. That frees up Border Patrol agents, who are trained on how to interact with migrants, he said.
But Texas' latest call on forces from faraway states is something different, he said.
"This is not only 'political theater,' it is actually dangerous for these officers," Kerlikowske told PolitiFact. "The border environment and the culture of the border communities is something these (out of state) officers are not familiar with."
Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports lower levels of immigration, disagreed with critics who dismiss the Abbott-Ducey effort as a photo opportunity for Republican governors.
He said officers from other states are not enforcing federal border laws in Texas, but are enforcing Texas state law at the border. That could include backing up Texas state troopers or highway patrol pulled off their duties to help with law enforcement along the border, he said.
"They are going to do real police work," said Arthur.
Who will cover the costs?
In most cases, it will be taxpayers from the states funding the resources and personnel.
Seth W. Christensen, a spokesperson for the Texas Division of Emergency Management, told PolitiFact that "resources sent from other states are being sent at their expense."
The law that established the compact among states provides for the requesting states to reimburse other states. Katie Strickland, a spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis, said Florida plans to seek reimbursement from Texas, but its responding agencies "have sufficient resources to absorb the costs."
In Arkansas, Hutchinson's spokesperson said the cost is about $575,000 for 30 guard members for a 90-day deployment. Idaho has opted to cover its own costs, estimated at $53,391.
In South Dakota, the governor's spokesperson would not detail the cost of the operation, citing "security reasons." However, a wealthy Republican donor from Tennessee, Willis Johnson, offered $1 million to help cover the costs. Payment came through the nonprofit Willis and Reba Johnson's Foundation and was received by the state Department of Public Safety.
The unusual private donation for a government function has raised some legal and ethical questions, while state officials have pointed to laws that they say allow such a donation.
Johnson, who regularly donates to Republicans running for Congress, made his fortune as the founder of Dallas-based Copart, a business that handles online auctions for used and damaged cars. He told PolitiFact that his nonprofit foundation provides money for Christian causes.
CORRECTION, July 6, 11:58 a.m.: A previous version of this article incorrectly attributed a statement about Florida's plans to seek reimbursement from Texas. The article has been corrected.

Q: Celery накапливает периодические задания и выполняет пачкой Celery контролируется by superviser. Есть файл для celery и для beat, но запускаются 3 процесса (worker дублируется). В логах всегда фигурирует Worker-1.
Есть выдержки из логов тут.
Проблема заключается в том, что таски, выполняющиеся каждые 2 минуты, запускаются вовремя только первые 20-40 минут. Дальше все начинает идти не так. По прошествии очередных 2-х минут, задания перестают выполняться вовремя. Остаются только сообщение отправки
Scheduler: Sending due task contestsapp.tasks.apply_votes
без получения
Received task: contestsapp.tasks.apply_votes[786b5cc6-5b08-40b0-9638-970a5ce6990f]
Таким образом они накапливаются (неясно где, но celery процессы держат 90MB в памяти). Через некоторое время воркер хватает все невыполненные задания и мгновенно (они примитивные) выполняет.
В итоге задания с периодом 2 мин выполняются каждые 10 минут по 5 раз (показатели варьируются). Больше 5-ти одинаковых тасков не скапливается.
В остальном система работает. Отказов и исключений нет, брокер сбрасывался, база синхронизировалась, PeriodicTask.objects.update(last_run_at=None) не помог, TZ везде (даже ОС) стоит UTC.
PS
Иногда приходит пара десятков отложенных на дни-недели тасков. Такой "нагрузки" хрупкий баланс двухминуток обычно не выдерживает, и проявляется эта проблема (но и без них сценарий всегда один).
Компоненты системы:

*

*Rabbitmq - celery 3

*Apache2 - wsgi - Django 1.9.5

*Supervisor for celery and beat (but it runs one additional worker )

Файл настроек:
settings.py

CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULER = "djcelery.schedulers.DatabaseScheduler"
CELERY_TIMEZONE = 'UTC'
TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'

Пример задачи:
@periodic_task(ignore_result=True, run_every=crontab(minute='*/2'))
def apply_denial():
    print('apply_denial')
    denialDicts =  {id:cache.get(id) for id in cache.keys("denial:*") if  cache.ttl(id)<=290}
    for k, v in denialDicts.items():
        user = Profile.objects.get(id=k[(k.index('denial:') + 7):])
        user.denial = (list(set(v) - set(user.denial)) + user.denial)[:300]
        user.save()
        cache.delete(k)

Копал уже во все стороны...

A: А вы урл брокера задали???
Типа
BROKER_URL = "amqp://user:pass@localhost/queue",
где user и pass это логин пароль от раббита, а queue - очередь куда пуляются ваши сообщения
P.S если так запускаете воркеры
-A project worker --loglevel=INFO
-A project worker --loglevel=INFO
-A project beat --loglevel=INFO

попробуйте заменить на:
-A app_celery worker -l info -B -Q "наименование очереди"

если никакую очередь явно не используете то -Q не нужно указывать


To make them sound identical, to a careful listener, who is listening for a difference, probably not, but then again, It's difficult to get two apparently identical drums to sound identical as the density of the wood for instance, affects the pitch at which it resonates, so even at the same tuning, the tone might be difference.
HOWEVER! To an audience member, they'll sound the same. When I do the Bonham Triplet thing, (14" Floor Tom, 10" Tom, 20" Bass drum, Snare, 10" Tom, Bass Drum, etc,) people complement me on my Bass Drum Roll.
I had this happen to me the other day. I covered Send the pain below it just has one set of triplets in it and I got complemented on my one footed speed.
But I do the roll 16" ft, 16" ft, BD. I can't say I am an accidental trickster haha.


With The Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair due to open its doors next week, we take a look at some of the key trends that visitors can see for some interior inspiration.
There has been a marked interest recently in fine, late 18th and early 19th century furniture, with good embellishment and in richly coloured woods, such as Italian or French fruitwood or walnut commodes with ormulu / metal mounts or decoration. For international buyers pressed for time, there is no better one-stop-shop for European and English furniture than the Decorative Fair.
