Judge denies release from psychiatric institute for woman involved in ‘Slender Man’ attack
A Wisconsin judge has denied the release of Morgan Geyser, who was convicted of brutally stabbing a classmate as a child in an attempt to please the fictional character Slender Man.
Geyser, now 21, requested release from a mental institution but was deemed a risk by the judge due to concerns about harming herself or others.
In 2018, Geyser was sentenced to 40 years in a mental hospital for the stabbing of her sixth-grade classmate Payton Leutner.
The attack, orchestrated with another peer when they were all 12 years old, left Leutner with 19 stab wounds.
Geyser’s request for release was supported by testimony from psychologists who noted her improvement and the limitations of the institution’s services, NBC News reported.

O.J. Simpson dead at 76 after cancer battle
Former NFL running back O.J. Simpson has passed away at the age of 76 after battling cancer, as confirmed by his family.
Simpson, known for his legendary career on the football field, became embroiled in a high-profile murder trial following the brutal slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.
Despite the widely publicized trial, Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995, though he was later found responsible for the deaths in a civil trial.
His legal troubles continued in 2007 when he was arrested for armed robbery in Las Vegas, resulting in a conviction and a lengthy prison sentence, Fox News reported.

Voodoo doll, whoopie cushion among bizarre trash plucked from New Jersey beaches
As Jersey Shore beach season approaches, a recent report from the Clean Ocean Action environmental group highlights the eclectic array of items found littering the sands of New Jersey’s coastline.
Nearly 3,700 volunteers collected over 176,000 items last year, ranging from commonplace debris like bottle caps and cigarette butts to more peculiar discoveries such as a Baby Yoda doll, a severed Barbie head, and even a food fryer.
The report, described as a “guilt list” of the region’s littering habits, underscores the prevalence of plastic waste, which accounted for nearly 80% of the total haul, the Associated Press reported.

Thailand has a plan to contain the monkey mayhem in tourist city
Thai wildlife officials have unveiled a plan to address a longstanding conflict between humans and macaque monkeys in the central Thai city of Lopburi.
After years of dangerous encounters and failed attempts at population control, authorities aim to relocate around 2,500 urban monkeys to large enclosures while allowing a limited number to remain free within the city.
A recent campaign to capture more aggressive alpha males has already begun, with captured monkeys being placed under the care of wildlife authorities or in the local zoo, the Associated Press reported.

Ukraine parliament passes mobilization bill to boost troop numbers
Ukraine’s parliament has approved a bill aimed at reforming military draft procedures in response to Russia’s continued aggression, which has exposed critical manpower shortages in the armed forces.
The legislation, which garnered significant support and applause from military leaders, seeks to streamline the draft process and improve data accuracy for conscription purposes.
Notably, the bill eliminates harsh penalties for draft evasion that previously sparked public outcry.
Despite its passage, concerns persist about Ukraine’s ability to effectively counter Russian advances, especially with dwindling Western military assistance.
While some view the bill as a step towards addressing organizational issues, others emphasize the need for more robust measures to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities, Al-Jazeera has reported.

Zelensky rages at West for ‘turning blind eye’ on war as Russia advances
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized Western allies for what he sees as a lack of support in the face of escalating Russian aggression.
Following overnight strikes by Russian forces on multiple Ukrainian regions, Zelensky expressed gratitude for those involved in recovery efforts and defending against attacks.
However, he emphasized that more assistance, particularly in terms of air defense systems, is urgently needed to combat ongoing Russian aggression.
Zelensky warned that failure to provide adequate support would effectively sanction global terrorism, the Daily Express reported.

The Borgund Stave Church: Echoes of Norway's Medieval Faith
The Borgund Stave Church, located in Borgund, Norway, is one of the most iconic and well-preserved stave churches in the country, as well as one of the most famous examples of medieval wooden architecture in Europe. Its history is intertwined with the development of Christianity in Norway and the evolution of architectural styles in the region.
Stave churches are a unique form of wooden church architecture that developed in Scandinavia during the Middle Ages. The term "stave" refers to the wooden posts used as the primary structural support for the building. The origins of stave churches can be traced back to the transition period when Christianity was introduced to Norway in the 10th century. Prior to the construction of permanent churches, early Christian communities in Norway utilized temporary structures such as wooden chapels......

A collection of burial objects found in tomb of 3000-year-old Noblewoman in China
In Shanxi Province, North China, archaeologists have uncovered a tomb dating back approximately 3,000 years belonging to a noblewoman.
Known as tomb M1033, it was discovered in the Dahekou cemetery of Yicheng County.
Since 2007, excavations at the Dahekou Cemetery of the Western Zhou Dynasty have revealed over 600 burials and 20 chariot-and-horse pits.
This discovery has been particularly significant as it sheds light on the existence of the previously undocumented Ba state during the Western Zhou period.
Bronze inscriptions found in the cemetery indicate the state clan name as Ba 霸, with Ba Bo (the Earl of Ba) as the paramount ruler.
The announcement was made by the Shanxi Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology. The tomb contains the remains of a sacrificed animal in the center pit and belongs to a medium-sized structure, Arkeonews has reported.

Study Confirms Super-Earth Really Is a Bizarre ‘Eyeball’ Planet
Researchers have confirmed the existence of an alien world, LHS 3844b, where one side is permanently shrouded in darkness while the other basks in eternal sunlight.
This discovery offers compelling evidence of tidal locking, a phenomenon where a planet’s rotation matches its orbit around a star.
Named Kua’kua, this planet is situated so close to its host star that it’s deemed uninhabitable for life as we know it.
However, the finding supports astronomers’ suspicions that tidally locked exoplanets may be prevalent in the Milky Way.
Tidal locking, seen in our Moon’s relationship with Earth, occurs when gravitational forces synchronize a celestial body’s rotation with its orbit.
Close proximity to a star intensifies this effect. While directly observing exoplanets is challenging, scientists inferred Kua’kua’s rotation by analyzing its temperature variations, Science Alert has reported.

Graphite platform levitates without power
Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology have developed a low-cost material that can levitate above magnetic surfaces without the need for an external power source.
The material, made from silica-coated graphite particles mixed with wax, prevents energy loss that would cause the levitating object to fall due to eddy damping.
This innovation enables objects to levitate over magnetic surfaces for extended periods.
This technology opens up possibilities for new types of sensors that can measure force, acceleration, and gravity.
Additionally, the researchers have created another version of the levitating platform that uses a feedback magnetic force to correct vertical movements continuously, allowing for more precise quantum sensors.
However, this version does require an external power source, New Atlas has reported.

Apple Vision Pro users suffer black eyes, headaches, neck pain
Some users of the Apple Vision Pro virtual-reality headset, including Emily Olman and Ian Beacraft, have experienced physical discomfort such as black eyes, soreness, neck pain, and headaches after using the device for extended periods.
Apple’s high-tech wearable has received mixed reviews, with some users reporting issues like eye strain, back aches, and puffy or dry eyes.
Experts like Jeremy Bailenson have pointed out that prolonged use of such headsets can lead to general discomfort and simulator sickness, similar to motion sickness.
Apple has provided guidelines for using the Vision Pro, recommending breaks every 20 to 30 minutes.
Despite its positive features like spatial computing and real-world overlays, the Apple Vision Pro is facing criticisms regarding its physical effects, Market Watch reported.

Costco selling as much as $200 million in gold bars monthly
Gold sales at Costco have become a lucrative venture for the retailer, with analysts estimating monthly revenue to range between $100 million to $200 million.
Since its introduction in late summer 2023, Costco’s gold bars, priced slightly above the spot price, have seen significant demand attributed to competitive pricing and customer trust.
Despite being limited to five bars per customer, the sales contribute about 3% to general merchandise revenue but offer minimal profit due to low margins and additional cashback benefits for members.
However, amidst rising inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, gold remains an attractive investment, serving as a hedge against various economic risks, CNBC reported.

Delta posts strong earnings in tough quarter for US
Delta Air Lines reported significantly improved earnings for the first quarter, with adjusted earnings reaching $380 million, up 75% from the previous year and surpassing analysts’ expectations.
Despite a 2% decrease in average revenue per mile flown by passengers, the airline achieved record revenue of $12.6 billion for the period.
Delta foresees record revenue in the second quarter but anticipates thinner profit margins, projecting earnings per share between $2.20 to $2.50, down from the previous year’s $2.64.
However, it maintains its full-year earnings target of $6 to $7 per share. Unlike some competitors affected by Boeing issues, Delta does not currently operate any 737 Max jets and has a diverse fleet.
While the airline industry faces challenges, Delta’s CEO, Ed Bastian, highlights strong demand for future travel, particularly in business travel, CNN reported.

Dow drops more than 500 points after a surprisingly bad inflation report
US stock markets experienced significant declines on Wednesday following the release of higher-than-expected inflation data for March.
The Dow dropped by 534 points (1.4%), the S&P 500 fell by 1.2%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined by 1.1%.
The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data revealed a 3.5% increase in consumer prices over the past 12 months, up from February’s 3.2% rate and marking the highest annual gain in six months.
While factors like gas and shelter costs contributed to the monthly increase, prices rose across most major categories.
Investors are concerned that the unexpectedly high inflation report will delay the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cuts this year, CNN reported.
