Bentley Bentayaga is Bentleys first electrically powered car.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
High-end British luxury now comes with a charging cable. Bentley has just unveiled its first plugin hybrid, the Bentley Bentayga Hybrid.

Bentley plans to eventually make plugin hybrid versions of all its models, but its starting with its big SUV.

It's powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine assisted by an electric motor, rather than the 8- or 12-cylinder engines available in other versions.

The Bentayga Hybrid can be driven in three different modes. In EV mode, it can drive under electric power alone for 31 miles, according to European driving tests. Hold Mode maintains the charge in the battery so the Bentayga can be driven later in EV Mode. In Hybrid Mode it will drive like a regular hybrid vehicle, relying on a combination of direct gasoline power and electric power the SUV itself generates.

Satellite navigation information is used to calculate the best use of gasoline and electric power during a journey. For instance, battery power could be saved for use in "low emissions zones" in cities. ( London, for instance, could institute these sorts of "EV only" zones as early as next year.) The SUV can also use up remaining battery power as it approaches a charging station at the end of a journey.

The Bentley home charger, designed by the famous industrial designer Philippe Starck. The manufacturer describes it as "a functional piece of art that will enhance any home."

Copper-colored "Hybrid" badges on the front doors and tailgate, as well as copper-finished wheel centers and Bentley badges, mark it as an electrified model. Bentley has used copper accents on its hybrid and electric concept vehicles, as well, treating the electrically conductive metal as a symbol for plugin power.

The Bentayga Hybrid will, of course, have the usual opulence associated with a Bentley. The seats will be covered in leather made from the hides of bulls -- never cows because they can have stretch marks -- raised in cool climates where mosquitoes don't leave scars. The rear seats are adjustable 18 different ways and have footrests and massage functions.

Bentley, along with Bugatti, Lamborghini and Audi, is part of the Volkswagen Group.

Richard Jantz claims he is 99% sure that he found the bones of Amelia Earhart, which would help end the mystery of her disappearance. She attempted to fly around the world with her navigator, Fred Noonan in July of 1937, and wasn't seen again. Jantz claims that the bones found in 1940 on a Pacific island were likely Earhart's remains, which contradicts the previous analysis of the bones.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A scientific study claims to shed new light on the decades-long mystery of what happened to Amelia Earhart.

Richard Jantz, an emeritus anthropology professor at the University of Tennessee argues that bones discovered on the Pacific Island of Nikumaroro in 1940 were likely Earhart's remains. The research contradicts a forensic analysis of the remains in 1941 that described the bones as belonging to a male. The bones, which were subsequently lost, continue to be a source of debate.

Earhart, who was attempting to fly around the world, disappeared with her navigator Fred Noonan on July 2, 1937 during a flight from Papua New Guinea to Howland Island in the Pacific.
BOGUS EARHART PHOTO? JAPANESE BLOGGER QUESTIONS NEW THEORY ABOUT AMELIA'S FATE
The first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, Earhart was one of the most famous people in the world at the time of her disappearance. As such, a number of theories have emerged about her fate.

One well-publicized theory is that Earhart died a castaway after landing her plane on the remote island of Nikumaroro, a coral atoll some 1,200 miles from the Marshall Islands. Some 13 human bones were found on Nikumaroro, also known as Gardner Island, three years after Earhart's disappearance.

In 1941, the bones were analyzed by Dr. David Hoodless, principal of the Central Medical School, Fiji. However, Jantz says that modern analysis techniques may have delivered a different result, particularly with regards to gender.

"When Hoodless conducted his analysis, forensic osteology was not yet a well-developed discipline," he explains in a paper published in the journal Forensic Anthropology. "Evaluating his methods with reference to modern data and methods suggests that they were inadequate to his task; this is particularly the case with his sexing method. Therefore his sex assessment of the Nikumaroro bones cannot be assumed to be correct."

Hoodless used 19th-century forensic science and described the bones as possibly belonging to a "short, stocky muscular European," according to Jantz. The 1941 analysis described the remains belonged to a male around 5'5.5".
AMELIA EARHART'S PLANE DISCOVERED ... IN OLD MOVIE
Earhart's pilot's license, however, recorded her height as 5'8" and her driver's license as 5'7". Photos also show Earhart's slender frame. Noonan was 6'¼".

Jantz says that the methods used by Hoodless underestimated height compared to modern techniques.

Hoodless used three criteria in his research - the ratio of the femur's circumference to length, the angle of the femur and pelvis, and the subpubic angle, which is formed between two pelvis bones. The subpubic angle is wider in women than in men.

Jantz says that the subpubic angle is the most reliable of Hoodless' criteria, but even that is "subject to considerable variation, much of which was little understood in 1941."
AMELIA EARHART MYSTERY CONTINUES WITH CLAIMS OF HER GRAVE
The scientist also compared Hoodless' measurements to data from 2,776 other people, as well as studying photos of Earhart and her clothing measurements. "This analysis reveals that Earhart is more similar to the Nikumaroro bones than 99% of individuals in a large reference sample," said Jantz. "This strongly supports the conclusion that the Nikumaroro bones belonged to Amelia Earhart."

Despite Jantz's skepticism about the 1941 analysis of the bones, some modern scientists have backed up the Hoodless results.

While some people are convinced that Nikumaroro is Earhart's final resting place, another theory suggests that she met her end on Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands, some 1,200 miles away.

Last year, controversy swirled around a photo that was touted as providing a vital clue as to Earhart's fate.

Police and firefighters save a choking puppy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In Massachusetts, police officers and firefighters went to extra lengths to save a choking puppy on Sunday.

Megan Vitale and her friend rushed into the lobby of the North Reading Police Department with a 9-week-old Saint Bernard puppy, according to ABC affiliate WCVB, where officers came out and examined the puppy.

"When officers came around the corner, they found the puppy was not breathing, limp, and unresponsive," officials told WCVB.

North Reading Police Department

Officers began to use chest compressions on the puppy but it didn't work. Shortly afterwards, members of the fire department joined to help.

The fire officials used a special mask designed for animals to give the dog oxygen, which proved more successful, as the dog started breathing again, according to WCVB.

North Reading Police Department

The dog, who was only in the possession of the owners for about a day, had choked on its lunch, according to WCVB.

The Saint Bernard has made a full recovery, WCVB reports, and the puppy is back with its owners.

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey helped save a man's life during a hike in Castle Rock, Colorado.

According to Max Henson of the Panthers' official site, McCaffrey and a group of friends and family witnessed a 72-year-old man, Dan Smoker Sr., fall 20 feet onto a rock during the hike on Saturday. McCaffrey called 911 before coming to Smoker's aid.

"Everybody stepped up," McCaffrey said to Newton. "I called 911, and it felt like an eternity. It felt like we were up there waiting for four hours. But I looked back at my call log and it took 11 minutes before the paramedics came. Amazing what those guys did."

Smoker's son, Dan Jr., tweeted about the experience:

Dan Smoker @dsmokexu
Michael Mann, @run__cmc and @notoriousmax25 are great football players, but even better humans. Yesterday, they helped save my dads life after he fell off of Castle Rock. They comforted my son when he was alone. Then showed up at the hospital to check in. @AdamSchefter @espn https://t.co/MVAdbr2gYV

"I credit them with saving my dad's life," Smoker said.

Henson reported Smoker Sr. suffered " a broken femur, a broken pelvis, internal bleeding, bleeding on the brain, nine fractured ribs and a broken neck" and was in "critical but stable condition" as of Tuesday.

A high school student in Utah has been arrested after he allegedly brought a homemade bomb to school and attempted to detonate it. They spotted smoke coming from his backpack and alerted the school resource officer. The school was evacuated and a bomb squad was called in to detonate the device. When investigators searched the boy's home they found materials that indicate the manufacturing of a homemade bomb and internet searches about ISIS.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Utah high school student, who had allegedly researched information on the Islamic State terrorist group, has been arrested on suspicion planting a homemade backpack bomb in his school cafeteria and attempting to detonate it at lunchtime, authorities said today.

Classmates of the suspect thwarted the alleged bombing attempt Monday at Pine View High School in St. George, Utah, when they spotted smoke coming from the backpack and alerted a school resource officer, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

The school was immediately evacuated and the Washington County bomb squad was called to detonate the device, officials said.

"They confirmed this absolutely was an explosive device and had it detonated it could have caused severe injury, potentially death and damage," Officer Lona Trombley, spokeswoman for the St. George Police Department, told ABC News today.

The device was left in the cafeteria around lunchtime Monday and there were numerous students near it, she added.

"He had attempted to light the fuse so the bomb would explode," Trombley said of the suspect.

Investigators searched the suspect's house in Hurricane, Utah, and allegedly found materials consistent with manufacturing a homemade explosive, officials said. They also allegedly uncovered evidence that the juvenile male, whose name has not been released, had researched information about ISIS and expressed interest in promoting the terrorist group.

The teenager arrested in the incident is also suspected of vandalizing Hurricane High School Feb. 15, police in that nearby town said.

In the vandalism incident, a U.S. flag was taken down from a pole in front of the school and graffiti reading "ISIS is coming" was spray-painted on a school wall, police said.

Student Jack Whalen said he spotted the suspicious backpack, which was open and smoking. He said a friend immediately went to notify the school resource office.

"I came around the corner and I could smell smoke. As I walked by, I looked inside of it [the backpack] and I could see the matches inside of it," Whalen told the St. George News.

The school of around 1,100 students was evacuated to a football stadium where the suspect was arrested.

The suspect, who remained in custody today, was charged with the manufacture, possession, sale, use or attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, Thombley, the St. George Police Department spokeswoman, said. He was also charged with mischief stemming from the alleged vandalism at the school in Hurricane, she added.

The investigation, with the help of the FBI, is ongoing and officials said other charges could be filed against the suspect.

"It was really scary," Olivia Jones, a senior at the school, told ABC Salt Lake City affiliate KTVX-TV. "I saw cops coming from one side and then another side and grabbed this kid that was literally like five feet from her. They were kind of aggressive with him and brought him up to the top of the stadium and they were like patting him down and searching him and stuff, and he actually ended up being the suspect."

Jones said the suspect is in her seminary class and described him as "super quiet."

"My seminary teacher was saying that before they had been evacuated, he was like hysterically laughing, which is sort of like out of the usual for him," she added.

During a news conference at the school Monday, Steve Dunham, spokesman for the Washington County School District, credited the quick response from students and school resource officers in preventing anyone from being injured in the incident. He said that since the mass shooting Feb. 14 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, security has been boosted at all schools in the district.

"Since the incident that took place in Florida, our school resource officers have been very present," Dunham told reporters. "We've had additional officers throughout all of our schools. All of the police departments that we work with have had additional officers out and around our buildings."

Anthony Borges was shot five times -- both in the gut and legs -- while attempting to shield other pupils by locking a classroom door when he was struck by bullets allegedly fired by 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz.

Now, a lawyer for the 15-year-old survivor has alerted Broward County officials that it will file a "notice of intent to file a claim" against the school district for alleged lapses in preventing the school shooting and protecting the students from harm.

A total of 17 students and teachers died and more than a dozen were injured, some critically, after Cruz allegedly armed with an AR-15-style rifle unleashed the attack on Feb. 14.

Cruz has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder and is being held in the Broward County Jail without bond.

"The failure of Broward County Public Schools, and of the principal and school resource officer to adequately protect students, and in particular our client, from life-threatening harm, were unreasonable, callous and negligent," lawyer Alex Arreaza wrote in a letter dated on Monday.

A Broward County Public Schools spokeswoman refused to comment citing, "potential, pending, or open litigation."

Broward Sheriffs Office

The letter noted that Borges, a Boy Scout and soccer player, suffered "life-threatening injuries" and that he has been unable to be released from Broward General Medical Center.

"Due to his condition," the letter states, Borges "is currently unable to walk and has a great deal of difficulty performing rudimentary tasks for himself, requiring assistance constantly."

Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie announced the launch of a "comprehensive review of the educational journey" of the accused mass shooter who he claimed was "charged with this horrific act of violence."

Runcie expressed why there is a pressing need to do this now.

"A quest for such understanding must be done with both transparency and a sense of urgency," he wrote in a release.

Runcie stated that the review, which is going cost around $60,000 and will seek to evaluate the school's "policies and procedures in place" at the time of the mass shooting will begin "no later than March 6" and that a final repor be completed by six to eight weeks to offer both "findings and recommendations."

"While we cannot undo this heartbreaking attack on our school community on Feb. 14," he wrote, "we can and must do what we can do to understand the conditions that lead to such acts, in hopes of avoiding them here and elsewhere."

Pelosi slams California ICE raid as 'unjust and cruel,' amid outcry over mayor's tipoff to immigrants.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Wednesday slammed as "unjust and cruel" a raid of illegal immigrants in California last week that netted hundreds of criminals, many with convictions for violent crimes -- but which was partially thwarted by a Democratic mayor who tipped off the public to the crackdown.

The four-day raid in the San Francisco Bay Area led to the arrest of 232 illegal immigrants, 180 of whom Immigration and Customs Enforcement said "were either convicted criminals, had been issued a final order of removal and failed to depart the United States, or had been previously removed" from the country and had come back illegally.

The arrests included 115 who "had prior felony convictions for serious or violent offenses, such as child sex crimes, weapons charges and assault, or had past convictions for significant or multiple misdemeanors."

But officials fumed after Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf tweeted out a warning of the impending raid, a move which ICE Acting Director Tom Homan said led to as many as 800 illegal immigrants -- many with criminal convictions -- fleeing before they could be arrested.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH SEX, ROBBERY CONVICTIONS AMONG THOSE WHO EVADED CAPTURE AFTER DEM MAYOR'S WARNING
The Department of Justice is currently reviewing Schaaf's actions. A DOJ spokesman declined to comment on the status of that review to Fox News.

But Pelosi, in a statement Wednesday, appeared to take the side of the mayor, accusing the White House of terrorizing "innocent immigrant families."

"Just last week, President Trump decided to terrorize innocent immigrant families in the Bay Area with his unjust and cruel raids," she said.

Her remarks came after Attorney General Jeff Sessions' Justice Department filed a lawsuit Tuesday night against California, arguing that three recently passed laws interfere with federal immigration policies.
TRUMP DOJ SUES CALIFORNIA OVER 'INTERFERENCE' WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT
"The Department of Justice and the Trump administration are going to fight these unjust, unfair and unconstitutional policies," Sessions is expected to tell California law enforcement officers in an address Wednesday.

Those laws the DOJ is fighting include a measure offering worker protections against enforcement actions and which DOJ officials claim prevent companies from cooperating with immigration officials. Another law, dubbed by critics as the "sanctuary state" bill, restricts state and municipal cooperation with federal authorities, including what information can be shared about illegal-immigrant inmates.

Pelosi said it marked "a new low" from the Trump administration and said the president was abusing the legal system "to push his mass deportation agenda."

"The people of California will not be bowed by the Trump administration's brazen aggression and intimidation tactics," Pelosi said. "Californians will continue to proudly keep our doors open to the immigrants who make America more American. We will fight this sham lawsuit and will fight all cowardly attacks on our immigrant communities."

An estimated 2.5 million immigrants are believed to be in California illegally. In the most recent figures, ICE has reported about 16 percent of its enforcement apprehensions take place in that state.

On Sunday at the Oscars, Jordan Peele is the first black screenwriter to win best original screenplay for the movie 'Get Out'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Peele was crowned the winner in the the best original screenplay race at Sunday's Academy Awards, making him the first black screenwriter to receive the honor.

In his speech, Peele thanked the people "who raised my voice and let me make this movie."

Heading into Sunday, Peele and his film were nominated for a total of four awards, including best picture.

Only four black film writers have been nominated in the best original screenplay category in Oscars' 90-year history: Suzanne de Passe ("Lady Sings the Blues," 1972), Spike Lee ("Do the Right Thing," 1989) John Singleton ("Boyz n the Hood," 1991) and Peele.

In the adapted screenplay category, three films with black writers have won in the past - "Precious," "Twelve Years a Slave," and "Moonlight."

This year, Peele made history, becoming the first black director to receive nominations in the writing, directing, and best picture categories for his directorial debut.

Only two other people have accomplished that feat, according to the Academy. Warren Beatty with "Heaven Can Wait" (1978) and James L. Brooks with "Terms of Endearment" (1983).

Beatty walked away empty handed in his nominated categories and Brooks won all of his.

"Get Out," a social thriller that received praise for its thought-provoking take on race in America, grossed $176 million domestically.

Speaking to CNN recently, Peele explained that part of "Get Out's" success came from its ability to put viewers in the shoes of Daniel Kaluuya's character Chris.

In the film, Kaluuya, who earned a best actor nomination, plays an African-American man whose weekend getaway to meet his white girlfriend's parents takes a disturbing turn.

"I think the biggest thing 'Get Out' taught me about the power of story is that one of the few ways we can promote empathy is by seeing the world through somebody else's eyes, and that's what that's what great story does," he said. "That's what a strong protagonist does."

At an event unveiling the portraits, before the photo of the little girl went viral, Michelle Obama spoke of the impression these historic portraits might make on children - especially young girls who will walk the museum, and look for someone who looks like them.

"I know the kind of impact that will have on their lives because I was one of those girls," she said. "And when I think about those future generations and generations past, I think 'Wow, what an incredible journey we are on together in this country.'"

Two siblings were injured as the result of a plane crash into a house in Florida.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two siblings on a private flying lesson were injured after a small plane on approach to an airport on Florida's Atlantic Coast crashed into a house on Tuesday, officials said.

The crash happened around 10 a.m. as the aircraft attempted to land at Massey Ranch Airport in Edgewater, located 17 miles south of Daytona Beach.

"I heard this terrible terrible noise, like a big crash," Dorothy O'Brien told FOX35. "I looked out my window, and I seen my carport, one of the pieces."

O'Brien said she was getting ready for a lunch date when the plane hit part of her home, but didn't sustain any injuries.

"It's just my carport, that can be replaced. I prayed, and I thank God every day, and I pray for the two kids that were in there," she said.

Friends of the pilot, 23-year-old Amrit Ramnarine, told FOX 35 that he was taking his 21-year-old sister Asha for a flying lesson.

On Tuesday, he decided to take his younger sister for a private lesson, not involved with the flight school, and rented a single-engine Piper.

Ali told the television station he is asking for prayers and hoping the siblings they will make a full recovery.

Authorities said Amrit is in serious but stable condition, while Asha is in critical condition at an area hospital.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Scientist are 99% sure that they found the bones of Amelia Earhart

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A scientific study claims to shed new light on the decades-long mystery of what happened to Amelia Earhart.

Richard Jantz, an emeritus anthropology professor at the University of Tennessee argues that bones discovered on the Pacific Island of Nikumaroro in 1940 were likely Earhart's remains. The research contradicts a forensic analysis of the remains in 1941 that described the bones as belonging to a male. The bones, which were subsequently lost, continue to be a source of debate.

Earhart, who was attempting to fly around the world, disappeared with her navigator Fred Noonan on July 2, 1937 during a flight from Papua New Guinea to Howland Island in the Pacific.
BOGUS EARHART PHOTO? JAPANESE BLOGGER QUESTIONS NEW THEORY ABOUT AMELIA'S FATE
The first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, Earhart was one of the most famous people in the world at the time of her disappearance. As such, a number of theories have emerged about her fate.

One well-publicized theory is that Earhart died a castaway after landing her plane on the remote island of Nikumaroro, a coral atoll some 1,200 miles from the Marshall Islands. Some 13 human bones were found on Nikumaroro, also known as Gardner Island, three years after Earhart's disappearance.

In 1941, the bones were analyzed by Dr. David Hoodless, principal of the Central Medical School, Fiji. However, Jantz says that modern analysis techniques may have delivered a different result, particularly with regards to gender.

"When Hoodless conducted his analysis, forensic osteology was not yet a well-developed discipline," he explains in a paper published in the journal Forensic Anthropology. "Evaluating his methods with reference to modern data and methods suggests that they were inadequate to his task; this is particularly the case with his sexing method. Therefore his sex assessment of the Nikumaroro bones cannot be assumed to be correct."

Hoodless used 19th-century forensic science and described the bones as possibly belonging to a "short, stocky muscular European," according to Jantz. The 1941 analysis described the remains belonged to a male around 5'5.5".
AMELIA EARHART'S PLANE DISCOVERED ... IN OLD MOVIE
Earhart's pilot's license, however, recorded her height as 5'8" and her driver's license as 5'7". Photos also show Earhart's slender frame. Noonan was 6'¼".

Jantz says that the methods used by Hoodless underestimated height compared to modern techniques.

Hoodless used three criteria in his research - the ratio of the femur's circumference to length, the angle of the femur and pelvis, and the subpubic angle, which is formed between two pelvis bones. The subpubic angle is wider in women than in men.

Jantz says that the subpubic angle is the most reliable of Hoodless' criteria, but even that is "subject to considerable variation, much of which was little understood in 1941."
AMELIA EARHART MYSTERY CONTINUES WITH CLAIMS OF HER GRAVE
The scientist also compared Hoodless' measurements to data from 2,776 other people, as well as studying photos of Earhart and her clothing measurements. "This analysis reveals that Earhart is more similar to the Nikumaroro bones than 99% of individuals in a large reference sample," said Jantz. "This strongly supports the conclusion that the Nikumaroro bones belonged to Amelia Earhart."

Despite Jantz's skepticism about the 1941 analysis of the bones, some modern scientists have backed up the Hoodless results.

While some people are convinced that Nikumaroro is Earhart's final resting place, another theory suggests that she met her end on Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands, some 1,200 miles away.

Last year, controversy swirled around a photo that was touted as providing a vital clue as to Earhart's fate.

Amelia Earhart mystery solved? Scientist '99 percent' sure bones found belong to aviator

Cecil the Lion, who was shot and killed by a hunter outside of a national park in Zimbabwe, likely suffered for about 10 hours before dying. Cecil suffered incredible cruelty, fatally wounded and slowly dying. Accounts state that the lion was intentionally lured outside of the protected area in order to skirt regulations. The man who killed Cecil, Walter Palmer, is publicly shunned, but did not face any charges. The book, "Lion Hearted" comes out April 10th.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Nearly three years later, a new book by a lion researcher provides more detail into the animal's final hours, and seeks to correct some misunderstandings about Cecil's death.

Lion researcher Dr. Andrew Loveridge spoke extensively to game staff, researchers and community members in the Hwange National Park area where Cecil lived. His findings, published in "Lion Hearted: The Life and Death of Cecil and the Future of Africa's Iconic Cats," suggest the lion suffered slowly after being shot by an arrow, though not as long as initial reports suggested.

"In media reports it was widely touted that Cecil suffered in agony for 40 hours. This claim is inaccurate and exaggerated. It's unlikely he'd have lived that long with such a severe thoracic injury," Loveridge writes in a passage excerpted in National Geographic.

"However, he most definitely did not die instantly and almost certainly suffered considerably. Judging from the events described by Cornelius and the data sent by the GPS collar, the injured lion most likely was killed 10 to 12 hours after being wounded."

"Cecil suffered incredible cruelty for at least 10 hours, severely wounded and slowly dying," the book said. "Clearly, although the wound was severe, the arrow had missed the vital organs or arteries that would have caused rapid blood loss and a relatively quick death. Certainly, the lion was so incapacitated that in all those hours he'd been able to move only 350 meters from the place where he was shot."

According to Loveridge, Cecil's death blow came from a second arrow fired from a compound bow. Loveridge's findings also corroborate accounts that the lion was deliberately lured outside of the confines of the national park in order to skirt regulations.

Cecil's killer Walter Palmer was publicly shunned and excoriated, but ultimately did not face any charges in the lion's death.

The book, "Lion Hearted" comes out April 10.

In Nashville, Tennessee the mayor, Megan Berry, was arrested for having an affair with on of her bodyguards. Berry said in an interview, "God will forgive me, but Nashville doesn't have to". She will be resigning. Under her guilty plea, Berry agreed to reimburse the city of Nashville $11,000 and serve three years of probation.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
She was popular and energetic, a regular presence at music venues and Nashville Predators hockey games.

The mayor's willingness to talk about her only son's fatal drug overdose last summer engendered sympathy from residents. Those warms feelings largely continued even after the mayor, 54, publicly apologized for having an affair with her bodyguard.

It all ended Tuesday with Barry stepping down after admitting to a felony theft charge related to the affair.

"My time today as your mayor concludes," the former ethics and compliance officer told reporters in a three-minute appearance.

The guilty plea to felony theft of property over $10,000 represented a remarkable fall for the politician: Barry once enjoyed approval ratings of more than 70%.

The political honeymoon

Barry moved to Nashville in 1991 to attend graduate school at Vanderbilt University, where she earned an MBA in 1993.

Barry, a Democrat and two-term Metro Council member, was elected mayor in September 2015 in a runoff.

"Tonight, we start a new chapter in Nashville of the Nashville story," she said on election night," CNN affiliate WKRN reported. "And that story is the saga that is written every day by the people in this room and those of you who are watching at home."

Barry distinguished herself as a pro-business, socially progressive politician, Joey Garrison, a metro politics reporter for The Tennessean, told CNN.

Barry was "one of the highest-profile Democrats in Tennessee. She's known for her accessibility and remarkable visibility," Garrison said last month.

Cranes are plentiful around the city where new homes are springing up. Barry's agenda included an ambitious $5.2 billion mass transit proposal for 26 miles of light rail, bus routes and an underground tunnel through downtown Nashville, CNN affiliate WKRN reported.

The plan will go before voters in May.

In December, the city was awarded a Major League Soccer expansion franchise.

The loss of her son

Last July, Barry lost her son to an accidental drug overdose in a Colorado suburb. Max Barry's death was complicated in part by morbid obesity, according to an autopsy.

The opioid crisis came to Barry's doorstep, and the public way in which she coped with the tragedy moved many residents.

"She's a Nashvillian. She feels that when she hurt, we hurt ... we're a family," resident Wesley Martin said.

Barry spoken openly about her son's struggles with drugs, hoping her own experience and transparency could help others confront similar problems.

"I cannot tell you how many people have come to me and shared their own grief stories about a loved one who died where they never talked about it before," Barry told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview in August.

On her first day back to work after the death of her son, Barry took time to greet children commencing the school year, according to CNN affiliate WKRN. She handed out supplies and backpacks.

"The first day of school in our household was always a joyous occasion. Max loved school and our ritual was that we would always take a picture every day of the first day of school," she said.

Barry grew emotional, her eyes misting with tears.

"The normal is Max is not going to text me back. The work of our city goes on. Every day, I'll get up and do what needs to be done," she said.

Barry's resignation on Tuesday came after months of intense local news coverage about her relationship with the former head of her security detail, Sgt. Robert Forrest Jr.

In January, Barry publicly apologized for the affair with the married bodyguard.

"I accept full responsibility for the pain I have caused my family and his. I am so sorry to my husband Bruce, who has stood by me in my darkest moments and remains committed to our marriage, just as I am committed to repairing the damage I have done," she said then.

But she insisted to The Tennessean that she would not step down.

"I also must apologize to the people of Nashville who elected me to serve as your mayor," she said in her statement at the time. "I knew my actions could cause damage to my office and the ones I loved, but I did it anyway. I must hold myself to the highest standard of which the voters deserve to expect. Please know that I'm disappointed in myself but also understand that I'm a human and that I made a mistake."

To many supporters, the so-called mistake made her appear more human. After all, infidelity in politics is hardly a new story.

"Politicians locally and nationally have set the bar pretty low," Nashville resident Jonathan Blake, 41, said last month. "It's hard to have any kind of concern about extramarital affairs in public office. We don't tend to look to our public officials for moral leadership anymore."

Barry remained immensely popular even after the admission. A number of residents say they were disappointed by the scandal but not outraged. They viewed the affair as a personal issue between a husband and wife still grieving the death of their son. A number of residents saw the alleged misuse of public funds as a separate issue.

"We are not looking for a perfect human being as a mayor. We're looking for somebody who knows how to do the job, and who will be faithful and honest to the mission of Nashville and carry us forward," Fiona Prine, whose son was close with Barry's son, said last month. "We need a steward ... and she is a steward."

Under her guilty plea, Barry agreed agreed to reimburse the city of Nashville $11,000 and serve three years of probation, according to court documents obtained by CNN.

Forrest pleaded guilty to theft of property over $10,000. He agreed to serve three years of supervised probation and repay the city $45,000, court documents show.

According to The Tennessean, the two were often partaking in domestic and international travel for work, which led Forrest to rack up $33,000 in expenses and $50,000 plus in overtime in 2017 on top of his $84,500 salary. Nine of the trips were attended only by Barry and Forrest.

Last month, authorities charged in court documents that newly discovered nude cell phone photos may be evidence that Barry and Forrest were having an affair while he was being paid to be her bodyguard.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Forrest used a work phone to take two photos while on duty. Investigators said evidence pointed to the possibility that crimes -- official misconduct and theft of property -- occurred.

TBI investigators say they looked at Forrest's phone and his emails after Barry admitted publicly to the affair. Two of his emails each contained one photo that showed a partially nude or fully naked woman, court documents say. The documents do not say the woman is Barry.

A question of judgment

Chris Cummings, who voted for Barry, said last month: "I think a lot of us maybe elevated her to a status that maybe isn't fair, but she was kind of that symbol of integrity, honesty."

Resident Barbara Sharer was one of the residents who wrote to The Tennessean urging the mayor to resign.

"She had disgraced the Office of Mayor," the 71-year-old Sharer wrote.

In an interview last month, Sharer said: "I don't trust her and I don't think she is capable of being mayor. She uses bad judgment."

"For being a first woman mayor, as a woman that's despicable to me that she has carried on this affair for two years," Sharer said.

In her farewell message, Barry said: "I sincerely hope and believe that my own actions will not tarnish or otherwise detract from all of the great work they do," she said, referring to members of her staff.

Vice Mayor David Briley was sworn hours later on Tuesday as Nashville's new leader. He will serve in that role until an August 2 election.

After she resigned, Barry tweeted: "It has been the honor and it has been the privilege of my entire professional life to have had the blessing of this opportunity to be your mayor. I love you, Nashville."

South African triathlete Mhlengi Gwala was attacked by three assailants while he was riding his bike in Durban, according to ESPN.com.

His attackers "attempted to cut off his legs with a blunt chainsaw" and " sawed into his right calf, damaging muscle, nerves and bone. They missed a main artery, and surgeons are confident they can save the leg," per that report.

The attackers also began sawing into his left leg before fleeing the scene. Gwala, 27, has since been taken to the hospital, with the apparent motive for the attack robbery.

"He tried offering them his cellphone and money, but they pinned him down and tried to saw off his leg," his athletic sponsor, Sue de la Porte, told Christina Pitt of News24.com.

Fellow South African triathlete Henri Schoeman was appalled by the attack:
"I haven't quite got to grips with exactly what happened. It seems like they pulled him into a bush while he was on a training ride. They had a chainsaw and went for one of his legs‚ which is the concerning part. We don't yet know how far they went in‚ whether they were trying to cut it off‚ or what the circumstances are. All we know is that Mhlengi is alive‚ he is talking and that he is under medical care. We don't have the whole story as yet."
Henri Schoeman @H_Schoeman
I wish all the best to @MhlengiGwala in his operation and road to recovery. We all stand behind you and support you as we need to make cycling safer on the roads in South Africa!

The extent of Gwala's injuries, potential recovery and basis for his assailants calling off the attack remains unclear. Dennis Jackson, the Elite Athlete Development programme director for the KwaZulu-Natal p rovince, told :

"Mhlengi doesn't know why they left," Jackson continued. "He dragged himself out of the bush onto the road, and a private security car picked him up and took him to the nearest hospital. From what we understand‚ he is in a cast. What the damage to his leg is‚ we will know in the next few days I guess."

Former russian spy and daughter found slumped on a bench in england.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sergei Skripal, 66, a former Russian military official convicted of spying for the UK, and his daughter, Yulia, 33, who was visiting from Russia, are critically ill in a UK hospital after "suspected exposure to an unknown substance."

British counterterrorism police are investigating how the pair ended up slumped on a bench Sunday in Salisbury, England.

The incident has not been declared terrorism. But due to the unusual circumstances, the specialized counterterrorism unit will lead the investigation, London's Metropolitan Police said Tuesday.

Skripal was convicted in Russia of spying for Britain before being granted refuge in the UK after a high-profile spy swap between the United States and Russia in 2010.

Salisbury, perhaps best known as the stopping-off point for tourists visiting nearby Stonehenge, has become the unlikely center of an extensive police probe into the mysterious circumstances around how Skripal and his daughter fell ill.

The pair were found on a bench in an unremarkable outdoor shopping complex, surrounded by a handful of chain eateries, including the Italian restaurant Zizzi, which was closed as part of the inquiry.

They did not have any visible injuries, according to police.

Images taken outside the restaurant Monday night showed investigators in anti-contamination suits searching the premises. Authorities have declined to name the substance to which the pair were exposed.

A small number of emergency services personnel were treated immediately afterward, local police said Tuesday. One of them remains in the hospital.

Salisbury resident Freya Church described seeing the pair on the bench appearing "out of it."

"She sort of leant in on him, it looked like she'd passed out maybe. He was doing some strange hand movements, looking up to the sky," Church told Reuters on Monday.

"I felt like I should step in but to be honest they looked so out of it that I thought that even if I did step in I wasn't sure how I would help. So yeah, I just left them, but it looked like they'd been taking something quite strong."

By Tuesday morning, the bench had been covered in a white forensic tent, a light drizzle of rain falling on reporters gathered at the scene.

The case has drawn comparisons to the poisoning of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, who died a slow death after drinking tea laced with highly radioactive polonium-210 in a Mayfair hotel of London in 2006.

A detailed UK inquiry later concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin probably approved the operation by Russian agents to kill Litvinenko. The Russian Foreign Ministry dismissed the UK investigation as politically motivated.

In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the Skripal case, saying "we do not have any information" about the situation, and adding that he did not know whether Skripal still had Russian citizenship.

UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Tuesday the Skripal case had "echoes" of what happened to Litvinenko.

While he stopped short of "pointing fingers" of responsibility, Johnson said during a Parliament session that the UK would act robustly if "evidence emerges of state responsibility." He then suggested the UK's participation in this summer's World Cup in Russia could potentially be affected.

"I think it will be very difficult to imagine that UK representation at that event could go ahead in the normal way, and we will certainly have to consider that," Johnson said.

A UK Foreign Office representative later clarified those comments, stating that Johnson was referring to the UK's diplomatic representation at the event, rather than its soccer team.

The Russian Embassy in London hit back at Johnson's remarks, saying it "looks like the script of yet another anti-Russian campaign has already been written."

In a statement, the embassy said it was "impressed" by Johnson's comments in Parliament, saying he spoke "in such a manner as if the investigation was already over and Russia was found responsible for what had happened in Salisbury."

"We regret that instead of a proper official clarification on the issue the foreign secretary chose to threaten Russia with retribution," it read.

Who is Sergei Skripal?

Skripal arrived in the UK as part of an elaborately choreographed spy swap conducted by the United States and Russia in which the two countries exchanged agents on chartered planes on the runway at an airport in Vienna, Austria.

Among the 10 so-called Russian sleeper agents deported by the United States as part of the deal was Anna Chapman, who had previously lived in London.

Skripal was one of four Russians who traveled in the opposite direction after then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev pardoned him.

According to previous reports by Russia's state news agency RIA Novosti, Skripal was sentenced to 13 years in prison in 2006 for spying for the UK.

It quoted Russia's Federal Security Service, or FSB, as saying Skripal, a former Russian military intelligence colonel, was convicted for "treason in the form of espionage" and that he had been recruited by Britain's MI6 intelligence service.

The report said he had spied for Britain as an intelligence officer during the 1990s and he had continued to communicate with MI6 after his retirement in 1999.

Russian court officials said Skripal had received at least $100,000 for his collaboration with MI6, RIA Novosti reported.

According to the FSB, Skripal's "actions caused serious damage to the national defense and security." The intelligence service added that MI6 paid Skripal for the information in foreign currency, which was transferred monthly to his account in a Spanish bank.

Russian newspaper reports at the time of his conviction said Skripal had shared information about dozens of his former colleagues operating undercover in Europe, in particular their secret meeting venues, addresses and passwords.

The FSB said that Skripal had admitted his guilt and gave truthful testimony about his activities, which the court had taken into consideration in sentencing him.

Skripal is believed to have lived in the UK since his release from Russian custody in 2010.

Skripal's daughter is thought to be one of the few members of his immediate family still alive after his wife, Lyudmila, and son Alexander died in recent years. Gravestones bearing their names have been seen at a cemetery in Salisbury.

The Skylodge Adventures Suites are glass capsules hanging off the side of a cliff in Peru's Sacred Valley. You can only get to it if you climb 1300 ft. They were made to try and help people reconnect with nature.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
(CNN) - Would you sleep in a transparent capsule hanging off the side of a Peruvian mountain?

That's the idea behind the spectacular Skylodge Adventures Suites, glass lodges precariously situated on the side of a cliff in Peru's Sacred Valley.

If you're brave enough, these crystalline pods are accessible only after climbing 400 meters (about 1,300 feet) of the rock face or hiking a daring trail featuring a zip-line network.

Once you settle down for the night, you're treated to impressive panoramic views of the wild valley below and, at night, the Milky Way.

The motivation behind these dramatic lodges was to offer "a unique experience that that [reconnects guests] with nature or make them realize what really luxury can be," Natalia Rodriguez, the SkyLodge manager, tells CNN Travel.

The suites are the brainchild of adventure company Natura Vive -- who want their guests to embrace their inner adventurer: once you're ready to leave your suite, you can zip-wire down to the ground below.

Inside these 24- by eight-feet pods, guests are treated to views worth marveling over-- alongside four beds, a dining area and a private bathroom.

The beds have down pillows and quilts, ensuring you'll sleep well, if you aren't distracted by stargazing.

Rodriguez says the main challenges of constructing this unique structure were "getting things up there" and "designing it to handle winds."

Don't worry though -- the pods are crafted from aerospace aluminum and weather resistant polycarbonate -- so Natura Vive promises they are secure and guests are safe.

This unconventional vacation will set you back roughly 1335 Peruvian soles/$400 for one night. The price includes private transportation to and from your lodge, equipment, guides -- plus a gourmet dinner with bottle of wine, and breakfast overlooking the valley below.

For those who'd rather not stay the night, SkyLodge offers a lunch-only, Peruvian gastronomic experience -- from 770 Peruvian Soles/$237 per person.

Peru's Sacred Valley -- home to natural wonders, greenery and archaeological ruins -- is book-ended (more or less) by two UNESCO World Heritage sites: former Imperial capital Cusco and 15th century Inca citadel Machu Picchu.

The SkyLodges are well positioned to allow guests a day or two to admire the Valley from above, before venturing below and onto Macchu Picchu.

The research contradicts a forensic analysis of the remains in 1941 that described the bones as belonging to a male. The bones, which were subsequently lost, continue to be a source of debate.

Earhart, who was attempting to fly around the world, disappeared with her navigator Fred Noonan on July 2, 1937 during a flight from Papua New Guinea to Howland Island in the Pacific.
BOGUS EARHART PHOTO? JAPANESE BLOGGER QUESTIONS NEW THEORY ABOUT AMELIA'S FATE
The first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, Earhart was one of the most famous people in the world at the time of her disappearance. As such, a number of theories have emerged about her fate.

One well-publicized theory is that Earhart died a castaway after landing her plane on the remote island of Nikumaroro, a coral atoll some 1,200 miles from the Marshall Islands. Some 13 human bones were found on Nikumaroro, also known as Gardner Island, three years after Earhart's disappearance.

In 1941, the bones were analyzed by Dr. David Hoodless, principal of the Central Medical School, Fiji. However, Jantz says that modern analysis techniques may have delivered a different result, particularly with regards to gender.

"When Hoodless conducted his analysis, forensic osteology was not yet a well-developed discipline," he explains in a paper published in the journal Forensic Anthropology. "Evaluating his methods with reference to modern data and methods suggests that they were inadequate to his task; this is particularly the case with his sexing method. Therefore his sex assessment of the Nikumaroro bones cannot be assumed to be correct."

Hoodless used 19th-century forensic science and described the bones as possibly belonging to a "short, stocky muscular European," according to Jantz. The 1941 analysis described the remains belonged to a male around 5'5.5".
AMELIA EARHART'S PLANE DISCOVERED ... IN OLD MOVIE
Earhart's pilot's license, however, recorded her height as 5'8" and her driver's license as 5'7". Photos also show Earhart's slender frame. Noonan was 6'¼".

Jantz says that the methods used by Hoodless underestimated height compared to modern techniques.

Hoodless used three criteria in his research - the ratio of the femur's circumference to length, the angle of the femur and pelvis, and the subpubic angle, which is formed between two pelvis bones. The subpubic angle is wider in women than in men.

Jantz says that the subpubic angle is the most reliable of Hoodless' criteria, but even that is "subject to considerable variation, much of which was little understood in 1941."
AMELIA EARHART MYSTERY CONTINUES WITH CLAIMS OF HER GRAVE
The scientist also compared Hoodless' measurements to data from 2,776 other people, as well as studying photos of Earhart and her clothing measurements. "This analysis reveals that Earhart is more similar to the Nikumaroro bones than 99% of individuals in a large reference sample," said Jantz. "This strongly supports the conclusion that the Nikumaroro bones belonged to Amelia Earhart."

Despite Jantz's skepticism about the 1941 analysis of the bones, some modern scientists have backed up the Hoodless results.

While some people are convinced that Nikumaroro is Earhart's final resting place, another theory suggests that she met her end on Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands, some 1,200 miles away.

Last year, controversy swirled around a photo that was touted as providing a vital clue as to Earhart's fate.
