Venezuela’s Guaido calls for military uprising while flanked by soldiers at Caracas airbase: ‘The moment is now’

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The power struggle between embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the opposition met its most bold action on Tuesday when Juan Guaido called for a military uprising to oust the socialist leader.

Emboldened crowds took to the streets of Caracas - and around the country - after the 35-year-old leader of the opposition-led National Assembly and a small contingent of heavily armed soldiers appeared in an early morning video promoting the "final phase" of his putsch to oust Maduro.

"The armed forces have taken the right decision," Guaido said. "With the support of the Venezuelan people and the backing of our constitution, they are on the right side of history."

He added: "The moment is now."
WHO IS NICOLAS MADURO? WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT VENEZUELA'S SOCIALIST LEADER PHOTOS OF OPPOSITION UPRISING IN VENEZUELA
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told Fox News that President Trump has been briefed and is monitoring the "ongoing situation."

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Twitter that the U.S. - which has backed Guaido since he declared himself interim president in January - fully supports "the Venezuelan people in their quest for freedom and democracy."

"Democracy cannot be defeated," he added.
VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION LEADER JUAN GUAIDÓ'S CALL FOR MILITARY UPRISING DRAWS REACTIONS FROM US, WORLD LEADERS
The actions by the opposition are Guaido's boldest effort to convince the military to rise up against Maduro.

In the three-minute video posted on his Twitter account, Guaido was joined by detained activist and his mentor, Leopoldo Lopez.

Speaking to reporters in his first public appearance since being detained in 2014 for leading anti-government protests, Lopez said he had been freed by the military and called on all Venezuelans to peacefully take to the streets.

"This is the moment of all Venezuelans, those in uniform and those who aren't," he said. "Everyone should come to the streets, in peace."

Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza claimed on Tuesday that the U.S. likely paid a guard to allow Lopez to escape house arrest as part of an effort to oust Maduro. He said the uprising will soon be contained.

As Lopez spoke on a highway overpass, troops loyal to Maduro sporadically fired tear gas from the adjacent Carlota air base as the crowd of a few hundred civilians, some of them brandishing Venezuelan flags.

The crowd swelled to a few thousand as people sensed what could be their strongest opportunity yet, to overthrow the government after months of turmoil that has seen Maduro withstand an onslaught of protests and international pressure.

"It's now or never," said one of the young soldiers, his face covered in the blue bandanna preferred by the few dozen soldiers who stood alongside Guaidó and Lopez.

Later, a group of security forces on motorcycles dropped tear gas to clear the bridge, prompting an exchange of what appeared to be gunfire. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

In dramatic footage from the Caracas, Guaido supporters are shown clashes with Venezuelan security forces. At one point, one military vehicle was seen plowing into the crowd and running over at least one person.
WHO IS JUAN GUAIDÓ, US-RECOGNIZED INTERIM PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA?
Anti-Maduro protests are planned for Wednesday, including what Guaido has said will be "the largest march in Venezuela's history," part of what he calls the "definitive phase" of his effort to take office in order to call fresh elections.

The dramatic events were downplayed by government officials, who said it was an attempt by a "subversive movement" to generate "panic and terror," Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino said on Twitter.

"We reject this coup movement, which aims to fill the country with violence," he said.

Maduro himself, later tweeted, that he had spoken to the commanders of the military, who have "expressed their total loyalty to the people, the constitution and the country."

"Nerves of steel!" he wrote. "I have called for maximum popular mobilization to ensure the victory of peace. We will win!"
PENCE CONFRONTS VENEZUELAN AMBASSADOR AT UN: 'YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE'
Meanwhile, socialist party chief Diosdado Cabello said most of Caracas was calm and called on government supporters to amass at the presidential palace to defend Maduro.

"We're going to Miraflores palace to defend the revolution, to defend Nicolas and to defend the legacy of Hugo Chavez," Cabello said in a phone call to state TV.
SOME US VENEZUELANS FLOCK TO GOP AMID ANGER AT DEMS FOR LACK OF ACTION AGAINST MADURO
Far from the tense events, a few dozen people gathered in the streets downtown in support of Guaidó amid conflicting reports that the city's subway had been shut down by transit workers looking to further debilitate the government. Others said service had been interrupted by an accident.

A senior administration official told Fox News that Guaido has "substantial" military backing, however, the revolt so far seems to have only limited military backing.

Guaido, the leader of Venezuela's opposition-controlled National Assembly, invoked the constitution to assume an interim presidency in January, triggering a power struggle with Maduro. He has the support from about 50 countries, including the United States and several European nations, who have disavowed Maduro's presidency.

Meanwhile, Maduro, who is backed by Russia and China, calls Guaido a U.S.-backed puppet who seeks to oust him in a coup. He has appeared to retain control of state institutions and the loyalty of senior military officers.
PENCE DECLARES SUPPORT FOR VENEZUELA PROTESTERS RISING UP AGAINST MADURO: 'WE ARE WITH YOU!'
Leaders from around the world reacted to the demonstrations in Venezuela.

In the United States, Vice President Mike Pence sent a message to Guaido and his supporters via Twitter.

"To Juan Guaido, the National Assembly and all the freedom-loving people of Venezuela who are taking to the streets today in #operacionlibertad-Estamos con ustedes! We are with you! America will stand with you until freedom & democracy are restored. Vayan con dios!" he wrote.

National Security Advisor John Bolton said that the Venezuelan military has a choice to make: embrace democracy or "face more man-made suffering and isolation."

"Venezuelans have made clear that the current path toward democracy is irreversible," he said on Twitter.

On Twitter, Arreaza attacked the Trump administration, saying that the "heads of the coup d'état admit their responsibility without scruples."

"The Trump administration, in its despair, attempts to spark an internal conflict in Venezuela," he wrote while sharing Bolton's tweet. "Venezuela's democratic institutions guarantee peace in the country."

The ambassador to Washington representing Guaido sand the U.S. played no role in coordinating the uprising against Maduro.

Carlos Vecchio said in a news conference that the protest "is a movement headed by Venezuelans" and the U.S. didn't intervene.

At the now-shuttered Venezuela embassy in the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C., supports of Guiado gathered to protest the Maduro activists who had been camped out inside.

Police blocked off the roads, and Secret Service officers were called to the scene as the crowds grew.

Activists from the liberal group Codepink, who protest the U.S.'s support for Guaido, have been protesting at the embassy. One sign hanging from the building reads: "Nicolaus Maduro is the president." One person held a sign that said, "U.S. hands off Venezuela."

Meanwhile, pro-Guaido protesters came to confront the Codepink activists, holding signs like "Venezuela want Democracy, not another Cuba."

"Today is the day the Venezuelans are taking over the country," one pro-Guaido protester, 40-year-old Giuliano Gandullia, who was born in Venezuela, told Fox News.
TODD LEININGER, AMERICAN DETAINED IN VENEZUELA FOR FIVE YEARS, HAS BEEN RELEASED, SOURCES SAY
The spokeswoman's for Spain's acting government said it did not support any military coup in Venezuela, even though it still considered Guaido the country's legitimate leader.

"We hope with all of our strength that there is no bloodshed. We support a peaceful democratic process in Venezuela. We support the immediate holding of an election for a new president," Isabel Celaá said on Tuesday during a weekly routine press briefing.

President Vladimir Putin is said to be paying "significant" attention to the reports about "a coup attempt in that country," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies.

Elsewhere, Bolivian President Evo Morales issued a call via Twitter Tuesday urging Latin American governments "to condemn the coup d'etat in Venezuela and keep the violence from claiming innocent lives." He blamed the U.S. for "provoking violence and death in Venezuela."

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez also sent a tweet backing Maduro and calling on the U.S. to "halt aggressions against the peace."

The Venezuelan government has arrested Guaido's top aide, stripped the opposition leader of his parliamentary immunity and opened multiple probes against him. He has also barred him from leaving the country - a ban that Guaido openly violated earlier this year when he traveled to several Latin American countries seeking foreign support.

Home to the world's largest oil reserves, Venezuela was for decades an economic leader in the western hemisphere and, despite a massive gap between rich and poor, was a major destination for neighboring Colombians and other Latin Americans fleeing their less prosperous and more troubled homelands.

But in 1999 with the rise to power of late leader Hugo Chávez - whose social and economic reforms initially endeared him to the poor but also set up an unsustainable system of state spending - Venezuela's economy began to creep toward a crisis.

Philippines' Duterte threatens to declare war on Canada if they don't come and take back the trash they left.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A week after he warned Canada to take back garbage it shipped to the Philippines years ago, Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte is threatening to dump the tons of trash on the North American country's beaches.

Duterte last Tuesday threatened to "declare war" against Canada within a week if it failed to remove the garbage that was dumped in Manila. In a speech in Davao City on Sunday, the president gave the Great White North an ultimatum.
CANADA-PHILIPPINES TRASH WAR: WHO WOULD WIN IF DUTERTE ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH HIS THREAT?
"We will send them back to your shores if you don't get that (back). And the President last night, he said that, throw them to your beach. Totoo 'yun. Galit siya (That's true. He's angry)," Salvador Panelo, a spokesperson for the president said, according to a news release published by state media outlet Philippine News Agency.

Panelo said that both of Duterte's comments - about starting a war with Canada and dumping its garbage on its beaches - are "figures of speech," and that the former was "an expression of outrage."

"I don't think any country would want to trigger another world war because all of us will be annihilated," Panelo said, according to the agency.

Canada shipped more than 100 containers of household trash, including plastic bottles and bags, newspapers and used adult diapers to the Philippines from 2013 to 2014. Officials have said the shipments of waste were incorrectly declared by a private firm as recyclable plastic scraps.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Khalid is now the most streamed artist in the world on Spotify. He has over 50 million monthly listeners.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Over the weekend, it was revealed that "Young Dumb & Broke" hitmaker Khalid is now the most streamed artist in the world on Spotify.

The 21-year-old took to social media to let his fans know while also thanking them.

R&B songstress Kehlani took to Twitter to celebrate the news with him.

"A 21-YEAR-OLD BLACK BOY IS THE NUMBER ONE MOST LISTENED TO ARTIST IN THE WORLD. EXCELLENCE," the "Nights Like This" Grammy-nominated singer posted.

He currently has over 50.1 million monthly listeners on the app.

"Spotify officially had 207 million active users worldwide at the close of last year. Today's news, therefore, suggests that somewhere close to a quarter of Spotify's total global audience has listened to Khalid at some point in the past month," according to Music Business Worldwide.

On April 5, Khalid released his second studio album, Free Spirit, which was an instant success. The record topped the U.S. and Canadian album charts while so far peaking at No. 2 in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand and No. 3 in the Netherlands and Sweden.

His debut, American Teen, enjoyed a lot of success, too. While peaking at No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart, the album went double platinum there, too. It's singles "Location" and "Young Dumb & Broke" went multi-platinum around the world, bringing him superstardom.

Last year, Khalid was nominated for five Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Best R&B Song for "Location," and Best Urban Contemporary Album for his debut, American Teen. That same year he won R&B Album of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and Best New Artist in 2017 at the MTV Video Music Awards.

In late 2018, Khalid released an EP titled Suncity which consisted of seven tracks, including the two singles "Better" and "Saturday Nights," which are included on his second studio album.

He collaborated with Halsey and Benny Blanco on the monster hit "Eastside," which topped the U.K. singles chart. On Spotify, the single has over 645 million streams.

His collaboration with Normani, "Love Lies," became Khalid's first top 10 single on the U.S. Billboard 100 chart. The single was taken from the Love Simon movie soundtrack. The track went platinum in the U.K., double platinum in the U.S., three times platinum in Canada, and four times platinum in Australia.

Other collaborations in his career include Marshmello, Alessia Cara, Logic, Calvin Harris, and Pink to name a few.

While attending the BRIT Awards this year, Khalid spoke to "New Rules" chart-topper Dua Lipa. In a Capital FM interview, he revealed he wanted to work with her on some new music, which The Inquisitr recently reported. He claims they both agreed that they would both try and work together on something.

Inside the Stryker Turret: New targeting tech destroys drone swarms

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When a Stryker gunner released the so-called "dead man's" switch on the vehicle's 30mm cannon, a slow-moving ground drone target exploded into a cloud of smoke and fire, marking a demonstration of a new counter-drone sensor-shooter technology now in development for Army consideration.

The 4-foot drone, moving along a dusty test-firing range in Kingman, Ariz., appeared on the gunner's "field of view" targeting screen able to calculate the precise location, distance and speed of the enemy drone target. The exercise was designed to assess an emerging counter-drone weapon system called Anti-Unmanned Systems Defeat (AUDS) by integrating the system onto a Stryker vehicle and attacking air and ground drones.

Attacking and destroying lower-flying small drones, ground robots or other kinds of unmanned threats is an emerging priority for the Army. This mission is quickly becoming more serious as small, swarming weaponized drones are more and more readily available on the international market. It is a challenge now taking center stage with Army weapons developers. For instance, the Army's Rapid Equipping Force -- a special unit tasked with fast-tracking proven weapons and technologies to soldiers at war -- is developing "drone buster" weapons engineered to find and destroy attacking drone swarms.
B-2 PILOTS RECOUNTS WHAT IT'S LIKE FLYING A STEALTH BOMBER
"We are assisting currently deployed fighting force to disrupt and deter drone operations on a much larger scale," Col. Joe Bookard, Director of the Rapid Equipping Force, said in an interview with Warrior Maven.

The AUDS system, built by Northrop Grumman and several sub-contractors, is one of a number of technologies being looked at by Army to defend against small and medium-sized drone attacks. AUDS uses a vehicle-mounted mast equipped with antennas, sensors and electronic warfare weapons. The system uses software to "fuse" sensor input from radar and cameras or electro-optical sensors. Northrop integrated and demonstrated the AUDS system on a Stryker vehicle during its Bushmaster Users Conference in early April in Kingman, Ariz.

"I can look at where the AUDS system is pointing and I can also see where my gun is pointing," Then, I release a switch and send a signal to the Remote Weapons System. I can release my dead man's switch and cue the gun," Willie Gabbard, Stryker gunner, Northrop Grumman.

The target tracking, lock-on and fire functions are managed by a control stick and soft switches on the screen, allowing the gunner to slew the weapon onto the target. Inside the Stryker at the end of a row of black soldier seats, a TV-sized screen can show return images from radar "pings" sent from the mast, made by Northrop Subcontractor LITEYE. The location and speed info is then merged with camera systems intended to provide "very precise visuals."

Overall, the AUDS system is able to use its suite of integrated sensors to merge a range of otherwise disparate sources of data, to include latitude, longitude, elevation, heading and speed.

AUDS is engineered to counter small and medium-sized ground and air drones, weapons which increasingly call upon new levels of autonomy and targeting to create complex attacks. The Army is already moving quickly on a Short Range Air and Missile Defense program built to fire Hellfire and Javelin missiles from Stryker vehicles to destroy air threats such as drones, helicopters or low-flying aircraft. AUDS is the kind of system which could potentially complement this system by adding an increased ability to track and destroy smaller, closer-in drone threats -- such as fast-approaching swarms.
AIR FORCE CALLS FOR NEW 'VANGUARD' WEAPONS PROGRAM WITH HYPERSONICS, LASERS AND NETWORKED MISSILES
Dispersed groups of attacking drone swarms present a number of complications for the attacked force, according to a 2017 essay from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. The essay, called "The Upside and Downside of Swarming Drones," discusses some of the reasons why drone swarms are difficult to defend against.

"Swarming is advantageous for offensive missions because it can overwhelm enemy defenses with a large number of potential targets. In a swarming attack the drones are dispersed, which makes it difficult and expensive for the adversary to defend itself. If 10 drones attack a target simultaneously and 7 are shot down, 3 will still be able to complete their mission," the essay, written by Irving Lachow, states.

This kind of threat scenario forms part of the essential basis for ongoing fast-tracked development of a new "proximity" round able to explode in a specific, pre-determined point in space to create a small "area" explosion. Certain small drones can hit speeds of 60-to-70 miles per hour, and some are small enough to fit in the palm of the hand. Swarms of these can be dispatched to blanket an area with ISR, build-in redundancy so a mission can continue if one is destroyed or even become explosives themselves programmed to detonate upon impact.

"The proximity round has a sensor inside, so once the round is fired it will be actively looking for targets. When it gets close enough it will explode. It is similar to how and airburst round would attack a swarm of drones, yet with more of a shotgun effect," Jarod Krull, Communications Manager, Northrop Grumman, told Warrior in an interview. "When it gets close enough to the drone swarm, it will explode."

AUDS is also configured to take out drone threats without firing a shot -- a so-called non-kinetic solution. The masts are equipped with EW technology to both sense and jam enemy electronics and communications systems. The system can work with several kinds of EW weapons; one is a Northrop EW weapon called Freedom which passively listens or waits to detect enemy electronic signals. This is important for strategic reasons as it can enable EW operations to be more stealthy, you might say. The moment a signal is emitted, an electronic signature is created, something which can be detected by an enemy. Passive EW weapons, therefore, are designed to operate without requiring the Stryker to give away its position, or at least become more detectable.

"Freedom is a tracking system will fuse that data to give you accurate info," Krull added.

Passive EW sensors, Krull explained, would be of particular relevance in a major-power, high-end conflict where giving away a signal could pose serious risks.
FACEBOOK WILL BE OVERRUN BY DEAD PEOPLE WITHIN 50 YEARS, RESEARCHERS SAY
"The Russians were able to find where radar energy is on the battlefield during their invasion of Ukraine," Rob Menti, Business Development, Northrop Grumman, told Warrior during the AUDS demo in Ariz.

Other EW weapons are what can be described as "active," meaning they also send an EW signal forward to both detect and destroy enemy electronic signals. This kind of EW system will not only detect the presence of electronic activity but also emit signals to disable them. This is the kind of weapon which could be used to track and jam an attacking group of drones or incoming missiles.

Bookard explained that using EW to attack enemy drones is a priority for the REF.

"We use innovative science to disrupt the signal. We can interfere. A non-kinetic solution reduces risks to soldiers and reduces collateral damage," Bookard said.

AUDS integrated EW weapons are able to detect the RF signature from a transmitter controlling an unmanned system or simply "ID the drone from those signals," Ryan Carlson, Deputy Air Tech Director, Air Defense, LITEYE, a Northrop subcontractor working on the system.

These jobs have the fastest growing wages

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While experts are concerned there may be a slowdown on the horizon for the U.S. economy, a new report shows that both job and wage growth remain healthy.

While the economy grew at a pace of 3.2 percent in the first quarter, job openings rose to about 5.6 million in April, up 1 percent month over month.

That's according to Glassdoor Economic Research, which released its first Job Market Report on Tuesday analyzing real-time job openings on its website.

Median base-pay increased to $52,807 - which is 1.4 percent higher when compared with the year prior.

GlassDoor broke down which positions have seen the fastest growth in wages - here's a look at the results:
Bartender
The median pay for a bartender in the U.S. rose 9.6 percent over the past year, according to Glassdoor. The median salary for a person working in this position is $35,309.
Pharmacy technician
Pay for pharmacy technicians increased to $31,609 - a 7.4 percent increase.

A pharmacy technician generally works under the supervision of a pharmacist, giving medicine out and packaging prescriptions.
Material handler
Material handlers were making a base salary of $37,350 as of April, which represents a nearly 5 percent year over year jump.

Workers in these jobs are typically in warehouses, moving and distributing products.
Truck driver
Salaries for truck drivers rose 4.6 percent in April, now bearing a median base pay of $55,741.

Part of the reason wages for drivers are rising is because there is a nationwide shortage. By 2026, the American Trucking Associations predict that the shortage could swell to 174,000.

Cashiers saw a 4.6 percent bump in pay, as well, though their median salaries increased to about $27,821.

On the other hand, the jobs with the slowest wage growth include some where median base pay actually shrank year over year - like financial advisor, attorney and insurance agent.

Mountain lion found sleeping in planter outside California Macy's tranquilized

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
California wildlife officials have tranquilized a juvenile mountain lion caught sleeping in a shopping center.

Witnesses saw the male cougar napping in a planter attached outside a Macy's department store in Santa Rosa, California, Monday morning, Greg Martinelli, wildlife and lands program manager for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, told ABC News.

Around 9 a.m., wildlife officials shot the 50-pound mountain lion with four tranquilizer darts and waited for the drugs to immobilize it, Martinelli said. The lion did not "go down" right away, which is why additional shots were required, he added.

Mountain lions often appear along urban-rural borders, allowing wildlife officials to "let them disperse back into their habitats" on their own, Martinelli said. Because the lion was in downtown Santa Rosa, a completely urban landscape, department workers decided to tranquilize it to enable them to transport it.

- Wayne Freedman (@WayneFreedman) April 29, 2019

After the cougar was removed, he was checked out by veterinarians and a local researcher placed an ear tag on him and took a DNA sample, Martinelli said. The lion was then released into a suitable habitat north of Santa Rosa.

It is normal behavior for juvenile mountain lions that are no longer with their mothers to roam the area, Dr. Quentin Martins, director of the Living With Lions Project, told ABC San Francisco station KGO. The lion's habitat was likely located at a creek near the Santa Rosa Plaza, Martins said.

No one was hurt in the incident, according to KGO.

Bernie Sanders suggests Disney should use 'Avengers: Endgame' profits to pay workers 'middle class wage'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bernie Sanders has an idea on how Disney could ensure all its employees earn a "middle class wage" with the snap of its fingers.

Sen. Sanders, I-Vt., suggested Monday it would be "truly heroic" if Disney used the profits made from the blockbuster "Avengers: Endgame" to pay its workers more, in response to a report the Marvel hit set multiple records at the box office a day after it opened Friday.

"Endgame" shattered the record for biggest opening weekend with an estimated $350 million in ticket sales domestically and $1.2 billion globally, reaching a new pinnacle in the blockbuster era that the comic-book studio has come to dominate.

"What would be truly heroic is if Disney used its profits from 'Avengers' to pay all of its workers a middle class wage, instead of paying its CEO Bob Iger $65.6 million - over 1,400 times as much as the average worker at Disney makes," Sanders tweeted.

Sanders has previously called on Disney to increase the pay for its workers. In August, the senator congratulated the company's workers after Walt Disney World union workers for securing $15 minimum wage negotiations with the company.

"Congratulations to the courageous workers and their unions at Disney World for their historic victory. I applaud everyone who stood up to demand that workers at one of the wealthiest corporations in the world should have a decent standard of living," he tweeted in August.

Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of the Hollywood giant's co-founder Roy Disney, earlier called Iger's compensation "insane" after reports stated he got a raise.

"According to Equilar, Iger took home more than $65 million in 2018. That's 1,424 times the median pay of a Disney worker," she wrote in a recent op-ed for The Washington Post.

'He loved everybody, he would help anybody': Alabama community picks up pieces after bullied gay teen takes his own life

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Alabama community is reeling after the shocking death of a high school freshman who took his own life after his family says he experienced anti-gay bullying at school.

Nigel Shelby, a 15-year-old at Huntsville High School in northern Alabama, killed himself on April 18, leaving those who loved him with questions about how his death could have been prevented.

Camika Shelby, his mother, remembered him as a vibrant, outgoing and fun-loving child who would do anything he could to make others smile.

"Nigel was a sweetheart. He loved everybody, he would help anybody. He was an angel," Shelby said. "I just wish people could've seen how special he was while he was still here."

Speaking in a phone interview with ABC News, Shelby said Nigel was openly gay and had trouble accepting himself. She said he also dealt with relentless bullying at school, which led to long and dark bouts of depression.

"I wish he could have been fully accepted while he was here because it was hard for him. He struggled," Shelby, 35, said. "He used to ask me sometimes 'Mama, why couldn't I just be normal?' And I'm like, 'Baby, you are normal. Who you choose to love has nothing to do with the person that you are.'"

Nigel's death highlights an alarming reality: nearly 43 percent of gay, lesbian and bisexual high school students have seriously considered attempting suicide, compared to about 15 percent of their heterosexual counterparts, according to a 2015 national survey of more than 15,000 students conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Sarah McBride, a researcher with the Human Rights Campaign which considers itself the "largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization," said young members of the LGBTQ community, especially those of color, are more likely to die by suicide linked to social stigmas, family rejection, bullying, harassment or abuse.

"It's important for us to realize the compounding impacts of anti-LGBTQ bias and racism," McBride said in a phone interview.

LGBTQ people who identify with marginalized communities, particularly LGBTQ people of color, are at greater risks "for dangerous and sometimes tragic outcomes" due to compounding struggles with transphobia, homophobia, racism and cultural stigma, according to McBride.

"When it comes to black LGBTQ students, the discrimination, the bullying and the stress they face is even greater," she said. "There's not enough data out there for a clear picture of the full scope of the challenges they face, but from what we know, both anecdotally and from the data we have already, this is a significant crisis."

"Every day that goes by is a day where we are potentially losing more and more young people. What we see reinforces the urgency of action, the urgency of these issues and the urgent need for more non-discrimination protections," she added.

McBride said it's important to speak to teenagers -- especially those who identify as gay, lesbian or transgender -- about mental health services, depression and suicide-awareness programs.

"We know that when schools have LGBTQ student clubs, it has a tangible impact on the safety and the well-being of LGBTQ students," McBride said. "We should certainly be creating environments where every student can bring their whole selves to every space and we also need to make sure that we are creating spaces where LGBTQ students and other marginalized students can go for safety, sanctuary and to connect with students with similar life experiences as them."

The CDC survey showed more than 34% of gay, lesbian and bisexual teens reported being bullied on school property within the previous 12 months, compared to about 19% of their heterosexual peers. Separately, more than 60% of students who identified as gay, lesbian or bisexual reported feeling sad or hopeless, compared to about 27 percent of straight students.

McBride said mental health services are "critical and a fundamental part of the solution," but there are also proactive steps that cities, states and the federal government can take to create safer school environments.

"That means adopting clear non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ students, staff and faculty at the district, state and federal level," McBride said. "It means at the federal level, passing the Equality Act, which would add gender identity and sexual orientation to our nation's preexisting federal civil rights laws."

It's also important that LGBTQ students see positive reflections of themselves within their school's faculty as well as in their reading materials, history lessons and sex education classes, she said.

"Those non-discrimination protections are critical in making sure that not just students are protected, but also that educators and administrators are protected and able to bring their whole selves to work," McBride said. "When an LGBTQ person can go into a classroom and see themselves reflected ... that could not just be life-affirming, it can also be life-saving."

School officials in Huntsville, Nigel's hometown, said administrators and counselors "had a close relationship with both Nigel and his mother during his time at Huntsville High School," but they never received reports about his being harassed.

"They worked with Nigel to ensure that he felt at home at Huntsville High School. Those individuals are absolutely devastated by Nigel's passing and are doing everything in their power to support Nigel's mother in any way they can," Huntsville City Schools spokesperson Keith Ward told ABC News. "They encourage everyone to reach out and support her during this trying and difficult time."

Ward said the district's code of student conduct prohibits bullying, and harassment based on identifying characteristics, such as sexual orientation, and calls for "the most extensive punishments and interventions for the offending student."

"However, Huntsville High School and Huntsville City Schools are only able to act when they receive complaints of bullying or harassment," Ward said. "Nevertheless, as is customary when there is a tragedy like this, Huntsville City Schools' administration is investigating the circumstances of Nigel's time at Huntsville High School.

"The school system will use this information to evaluate its current supports for students who have been bullied and to make changes if appropriate, he added.

Shelby, Nigel's mom, said he was receiving counseling and had recently started taking medication to help him deal with his depression. She said it was hard for him to talk about his feelings because he didn't want to bring others down.

"He was just a kid. But no matter what he went through, he always put his own feelings aside to make sure everybody else was OK," Shelby said. "He asked me constantly, five, six, seven times a day, 'Mom, are you OK? Is there anything I can do for you?' He was just so full of love.

"I'm truly blessed that I got to spend 15 years with this child, but it also makes me so sad to know that he's no longer with me. He was my motivation to keep going. He always kept me lifted up, so to not have that anymore is heartbreaking."

Shelby said Nigel loved to sing, dance and bring joy to those around him.

"He used to always tell me, 'Mama, I'm going to be a star!' He was in theater in school, he played different instruments and loved gymnastics. He was just a performer all the way around," Shelby said. "He was full of life."

Shelby said interest in Nigel's story caused his number of Instagram followers to skyrocket. He had more than 81,000 followers as of Monday morning, compared to about 2,000 before his death. A GoFundMe campaign created in Nigel's honor raised more than $39,000 in less than 10 days as social media users shared their own stories about contemplating suicide and enduring anti-gay bullying.

The young boy's mom said the loss of her only child is too fresh to post about, but she plans to share never-before seen images and videos to his Instagram account later on, so people can "see his true personality." She doesn't want his legacy to be defined by the way he died.

"It's amazing. He always wanted to be a celebrity. I hate that he's not actually here to see this. But I am thankful that in the end, he's out there and people know him," she said. "That's always what he wanted. I wish that it hadn't come behind something so tragic. But I guess there's always a blessing in disguise."

If you are in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741-741.

The Indian army claimed via Twitter to have seen footprints belonging to the "Yeti," the "elusive snowman" of Nepalese folklore, sparking ridicule on social media.

"For the first time, an #IndianArmy Moutaineering Expedition Team has sited Mysterious Footprints of mythical beast 'Yeti' measuring 32x15 inches close to Makalu Base Camp on 09 April 2019," the army's official account tweeted. "This elusive snowman has only been sighted at Makalu-Barun National Park in the past."

Images published on the army's social media page show deep-set footprints at the army's Makalu Base Camp, deep in the Himalayas. The post, sent to the Indian army's 5.98 million followers, had been shared more than 6,000 times as of early Tuesday.

The "Yeti," aka "Abominable Snowman," is often depicted in popular culture as a large, ape-like creature, not unlike how the creature is portrayed in the 1964 Christmas classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Social media users pounced on the tweet.

One twitter user described the claim as "deeply, deeply embarrassing."

This is deeply, deeply embarrassing: whoever in the Indian Army's PR has circulated this is disgracing the institution, and India, in the world's eyes. https://t.co/f11OvolnUb

Others drew parallels to the recent news story about a beluga whale that might be a Russian military agent, suggesting that the army could make use of its own "Indo-Tibetan Yeti Force."

If the US and Russian navies can train marine mammals to plant stuff on the enemy, why can't we have the Indo-Tibetan Yeti Force?
- Indrani Bagchi (@horror06) April 30, 2019

However, Tarun Vijay, a prominent author and former politician, according to India Today, congratulated the army, but suggested that the word "beast" was disrespectful and that they should have instead used "snowman."

Congratulations, we are always proud of you. salutes to the #IndianArmy Moutaineering Expedition Team. But please, you are Indian, dont call Yeti as beast. Show respect for them. If you say he is a 'snowman'.
- Chowkidar Tarun Vijay (@Tarunvijay) April 29, 2019

In reply to Vijay's suggestion, The Wall Street Journal Columnist Sadanand Dhume tweeted: "I'm looking forward to the Indian Navy's official handle tweeting about having found the Loch Ness Monster, and a former BJP MP ticking them off for using the un-Indian word 'monster.'"

Despite the alleged sighting, there's no scientific evidence confirming the Yeti's existence.

In 2011, according to the BBC, tests undertaken at Edinburgh Zoo on a 50-year-old bone fragment believed to be from a Yeti showed, unsurprisingly, that the bone was human, perhaps belonging to a person similar to the one portrayed by Yukon Cornelius in the 1964 Christmas classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Rudolph, with his nose so bright, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News.

An army vet has been charged with providing and attempting to provide materials to terrorists. He is a Muslim convert with combat experience in Afghanistan. He also was planning on committing and atrocity on a church and possibly a synagogue.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Federal authorities announced on Monday they had arrested Mark Steven Domingo of Reseda, Calif., for allegedly plotting to carry out a series of terrorist attacks in Los Angeles to avenge the New Zealand mosque shooting.

An Army infantry veteran with combat experience in Afghanistan, Domingo, 26, wanted to plant improvised explosive devices for "the purpose of causing mass casualties," according to the Department of Justice. He is a convert to Islam.

Domingo reportedly stated in a private group chat: "I feel like I should make a christians life miserable tomorrow for our fallen bros n sis in [N]ew Zealand...maybe a jews life...they shed our blood...no Muslim should have to experience this, a message needs to be sent."

He is charged with providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists.

"This investigation successfully disrupted a very real threat posed by a trained combat soldier who repeatedly stated he wanted to cause the maximum number of casualties," said Nicola Hanna, U.S. attorney for the Central District of California. "Protecting Americans from terror attacks is the number one priority of the Justice Department, and anyone who plots to use a weapon of mass destruction will be held to account."

While Domingo had been talking with an undercover FBI source, the affidavit states he had "expressed support for violent jihad, a desire to seek retribution for attacks against Muslims, and a willingness to become a martyr." His lists of potential targets included Jews, churches, military installations, and police officers.

Domingo bought 3-inch nails to be used in the explosive device and delivered them to the undercover source, who in turn gave him "multiple inert devices, which Domingo believed were weapons of mass destruction. After inspecting the devices and traveling to a park in Long Beach to surveil the location of the planned attack, Domingo was taken into custody."

His initial appearance is scheduled for Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court.

Sri Lanka didn't liked the bombing so they no longer allow face covering

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sri Lanka has barred face veils in the wake of the Easter bombings that killed hundreds of people at churches and high-end hotels.

Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said that all kinds of face coverings, which are worn by some Muslim women, would be prohibited starting Monday -- eight days after the island nation was hit by a wave of coordinated attacks. Sirisena, who used an emergency law to impose the ban, issued the directive "to ensure national security" and "public safety," according to a press release from the president's office on Sunday.

At least 253 people were killed and scores more were injured April 21 when near-simultaneous explosions took place at various locations across Sri Lanka, a largely Buddhist country off the southern tip of India. Dozens of people have been arrested in connection with the bombings, but authorities have warned that more suspects remain at large and are possibly armed with explosives.

Explosions erupted at three churches holding Easter services in Colombo, the capital, as well as Batticaloa and Negombo. Blasts also tore through three upscale hotels in Colombo, including some popular among Western tourists, according to Sri Lankan police.

Hours after the initial bombings, another explosion rang out at a housing complex in Dematagoda, a suburb on the outskirts of Colombo, police said.

Later that night, the Sri Lankan Air Force initiated a controlled explosion of a 6-foot-long pipe bomb detected on a road near Colombo International Airport, according to Sri Lanka Air Force spokesman Gihan Seneviratne.

A fourth hotel was targeted in a failed attack that day, according to Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

Most of the explosions were detonated by suicide bombers, according to Sri Lanka's junior defense minister Ruwan Wijewardene.

Thirty-nine foreigners were among the dead, Wijewardene said. That includes at least four Americans, according to a U.S. official briefed on the investigation.

At least 46 children were among those killed, with the youngest just 18 months old, according to the United Nations Children's Fund, which cited the Sri Lankan government.

According to Wijewardene, most of the suicide bombers were well-educated and financially independent, coming from middle- and upper-middle-class families. They had splintered away from a little-known local extremist Muslim group, National Towheed Jamaar, and another group that Wijewardene identified only as "JMI." The former was earlier blamed for the deadly blasts by Sri Lanka's health minister.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters Fridaythe assailants in Sri Lanka had support from the Islamic State group, which has claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks.

The United States sent a team of FBI agents and military officials to help Sri Lankan authorities with the ongoing investigation. Intelligence units from Australia, India, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the International Criminal Police Organization are also assisting.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI issued a joint intelligence bulletin expressing concern that the scope and scale of the Easter bombings could lead other would-be attackers to carry out plans of their own.

The U.S. Department of State has since raised the travel advisory for Sri Lanka to level three, the second-highest, and is urging Americans to reconsider traveling there.

ABC News' Alexandra Faul, Ben Gittleson, Angus Hines, Dragana Jovanovic, James Longman, Josh Margolin, Elizabeth McLaughlin, James Meek, Kirit Radia, Bruno Roeber, Nadine Shubailat and Alex Stone contributed to this report.
