Mr Renner will need rehabilitation for the rest of his life.

Actor Jeremy Renner was involved in a horrific accident on New Year’s Eve when he tried to save his nephew when he was crushed by snow at his Nevada home. The actor in a recent interview said that he believed that his injuries were so severe that he would not survive. Now, a doctor treating the ‘Hockey’ star has opened up about his injuries and said the actor has come a long way on the road to recovery.

Chiropractic sports doctor Dr Christopher Vincent spoke CNN It turned out that a major nerve or a vital organ was millimeters away from being hit by the machine. “As unfortunate as he was to have such a tragic injury, he was very fortunate to be where the injuries were,” he said.

He also told the outlet, “He’s pushing it and is determined not only to actually recover, but to come back stronger and better than before.”

Mr Renner may need rehabilitation for the rest of his life, but doctors believe the Oscar-nominated star of Marvel’s ‘Avengers’ films is willing to overcome injuries and bruises.

Recently, in an interview with Good Morning America, the actor discussed what happened after running through seven tons of snow. “If I had been alone, it would have been a horrible way to die. Of course I would have. Of course,” he said in the clip.

“But I’m not alone. That’s my nephew. Sweet Alex,” he continued with tears in his eyes.

Mr Renner was rushed to hospital, but when he got there, he wasn’t sure if he would make it. “So I’m writing notes on my phone (that are) my last words to my family,” he said, sitting in a wheelchair.

‘The Hurt Locker’ star also said she would “do it all over again” because despite everything, she saved her nephew. The accident left him with more than 30 broken bones, however, the actor said, “I chose to survive. It’s not going to kill me. No way.”

Ben Ferenc, the last living prosecutor of the Nuremberg trials who tried the Nazis for genocidal war crimes and was one of the first outside witnesses to document the atrocities of Nazi labor and concentration camps, has died. He had turned 103 in March.

Ference died Friday evening in Boynton Beach, Florida, according to John Barrett, a law professor at St. John’s University. blog About the Nuremberg trials. The death was also confirmed by the American Holocaust Museum in Washington.

“Today the world has lost a leader in the quest for justice for victims of genocide and related crimes,” the museum tweeted.

Born in Transylvania in 1920, Ferenc moved to New York with his parents as a boy to escape widespread anti-Semitism. After graduating from Harvard Law School, Ferenc joined the US Army to participate in the Normandy invasion during World War II. Using his legal background, he became an investigator of Nazi war crimes against American soldiers as part of the new War Crimes Unit of the Office of the Judge Advocate General.

Ferenc visited Germany first at the Ohrdruf labor camp and later at the infamous Buchenwald concentration camp, when American intelligence reports described soldiers encountering large groups of starving Nazi camps monitored by SS guards. In those camps and others later, he saw “bodies piled up like ropes” and “helpless skeletons with diarrhea, dysentery, typhus, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and other ailments, returning only to their pitiful eyes in lice-infested cottons or on the floor. Begging for help,” Ferenc wrote Account of his life.

“The Buchenwald concentration camp was a channel of unspeakable horrors,” wrote Ferenc. “There is no doubt that I was indelibly traumatized by my experiences as a war crimes interrogator of the Nazi extermination centers. I still don’t try to talk or think about the details.

At one point toward the end of the war, Ferenc was sent to Adolf Hitler’s mountain retreat in the Bavarian Alps to search for incriminating documents, but returned empty-handed.

After the war, Ferenc was honorably discharged from the US Army and returned to New York to begin practicing law. But it was short lived. Because of his experiences as a war crimes investigator, he was assigned to help investigate Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials, which began under the chairmanship of US Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson. Before moving to Germany, he married his childhood sweetheart, Gertrude.

At the age of 27, with no previous trial experience, Ferenc became the lead prosecutor in the 1947 trial in which 22 former generals were accused of murdering 1 million Jews, Romani and other enemies of the Third Reich in Eastern Europe. Rather than relying on witnesses, Ferenc relied mostly on official German documents to make his case. All defendants were convicted, and more than a dozen were sentenced to death, although Ferenc did not seek the death penalty.

“In early April 1948, when the long legal verdict was read, I felt vindicated,” he wrote. “Our demands for the protection of humanity through the rule of law have been vindicated.”

As the war crimes trials ended, Ferenc worked for a consortium of Jewish charities to help Holocaust survivors recover property, homes, businesses, artwork, Torah scrolls and other Jewish religious items confiscated by the Nazis. . He later helped negotiate reparations for Nazi victims.

In later decades, Ferenc succeeded in creating an international court that could punish the leaders of any government for war crimes. Those dreams were realized in 2002 with the establishment of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, although its effectiveness was limited by the failure of countries such as the United States to participate.

Ferencs has one son and three daughters. His wife died in 2019.

Augusta, Ga. (AP) — The second round of the Masters resumes Saturday at Augusta National.And there was little evidence that three towering pine trees had fallen near the hosts during storms a day earlier, resulting in the suspension of play.

No one was injured by the falling pines, although they crushed several chairs the patrons were sitting on. Three separate 10-by-10-foot areas near the 16th green and 17th tee were roped off Saturday with some wood chips, where workers made quick cuts. Two areas were covered with green gravel and the other with pine straw.

Sergio Garcia teed off on the 17th as he finished his second round Saturday, and the 2017 champion pressed his head against the hosts as he began walking toward his shot to see where the trees once stood. Several workers around the area were still discussing what had happened, and one called it “a miracle” no one was injured or killed.

“I was standing to the right, it’s close to 17, and lined up for my putt in the back right bunker on 16,” said 1987 champion Larry Mize. “And then all of a sudden, I heard it, I looked around and I saw trees.

“I’m thinking, ‘Oh, my God, people, get out of there,'” Mies said. “Thank goodness nobody got hurt.”

Saturday’s cutters will have to endure more severe weather in the third round. Cold showers were expected to last through the day, and storms could move through eastern Georgia. The forecast for Sunday looks dry.

“This is what it is,” said Fred Couples, 63, who finished his second round Saturday at 1 over, breaking Bernhard Langer’s record as the oldest player to make the cut at the Masters. “Am I going to be happy playing 18 this afternoon? No, I’m an idiot. I’m an old fool. But I am eager to play.

The early band of Friday’s storms was cleared once for 21 minutes of course. Air horns sounded again at 4:22 p.m., as another set of storms arrived, forcing patrons to evacuate and send soldiers and officers to safety.

After 90 minutes the game was called off for the day.

Before the second trumpet sounds, Three great pines fell slowly Near the 17th tee, about 50 people scattered below them. On the nearby 16th green, Harrison Grove began backing away in surprise at the fallen tree, while on the 15th green, Garcia stopped and slowly watched what was happening.

“We were on the fairway on the 15th. We thought it was the scoreboard or the grandstand,” said Sahit Deegala, playing in his first Masters. “We hope it’s not something that hits anyone.”

The uprooted pines fell slowly, two of them acting as a third support, and this gave the hosts below time to get out of the way. But there was a close call with several broken chairs under the fallen trees.

“I was talking to my friends next door and all of a sudden I heard a crack,” said Katie Waits, who attended the second round from Charleston, South Carolina. “There were three trees across the pond, and all of a sudden we saw them fall, and everybody — it was like ants. They were scattered like ants from below. All three fell at the same time. And then I said, ‘Is everybody okay?’ And it was quiet.”

Waits said he saw a woman standing between two fallen trees and heard a man crawling from a few feet below. Like the workers Saturday, Waits called it “absolutely a miracle” that no one was injured.

“The safety and well-being of all who attend the Masters Tournament will always be a top priority,” Augusta National said in a statement. “We will continue to monitor the weather today and through the tournament.”

Trees fell near the 17th hole, with video showing one falling in an area surrounded by spectators due to high winds.

Microsoft is making its DALL-E-powered AI image generator “available on the desktop to Edge users worldwide.” The company announced it was coming last month when it integrated image creation technology into the Bing chatbot, but the move will be available to a wider audience.

As it turns out – me and two others edge Employees using Edge don’t seem to have access to it yet – Edge has “Image Creator” in its sidebar. It should be very simple to use; You type in what you want to see. Then, you can download the ones you like and use them as you need.

In A Thursday blog post, Microsoft offers the feature as a way to create “more specific” views when working on social media posts or slideshows and documents. Previously this was possible in various ways – you could use OpenAI’s DALL-E, Microsoft’s Bing image creation platformThe built-in image generator in Bing Chat — or one of the many other image generators — placed right in Edge’s sidebar makes it super easy to ask the AI ​​for some images while you’re doing something else on the web.

According to Microsoft, you have to manually add it to your sidebar before using it, at least for now. To do so, open the sidebar, click the “+” button, and then toggle the switch next to Image Maker.

Microsoft is “testing the limits in terms of usage patterns and continues to learn to help us improve the experience for customers,” according to a statement. on the edge from Katie Asher, Senior Director of Communications. “Most users today are not faced with the number of images they can create per day.”

The company is also adding other features to Edge, such as a Drop tool that lets you send files and other content, creating a personal notebook that syncs across devices. Even Microsoft Added “Browser Essentials” tool This is a button you can click to let you know what a great job Edge is doing at performing efficiently and scanning for malware (this feature is currently only available in Early Access builds).

One of the biggest news stories of the week centered around Sony’s plans to release a new PlayStation handheld. It sounds exciting when you write it down, but expectations were quickly adjusted once we realized that this device would – again, allegedly – be dedicated to the PS5. Remote play.

Naturally, we wanted to harvest your opinions on the matter, so we published a Talking point, very much invites you to share your thoughts on a possible remote play system. Our included poll asked a simple question: “Would you be interested in a handheld PS5 Remote Play from Sony?”

The results were actually quite divided, but most clearly weren’t sold on a handheld machine built around remote play. 28% of users said they “don’t really see the point” and 22% “couldn’t care less”. And 21% said they needed “more information” before making a decision. 2,300 votes were cast.

Interestingly, in our second poll, only 23% of readers said they regularly use Remote Play. 38% said they had tried it “once or twice” and 38% admitted they had never used it.

These results obviously beg the question: Is there even a viable market for Sony’s handheld Remote Play? Especially when so many devices are already supported? As we said in our aforementioned talking point, we imagine this rumored setup will target the PS5’s hardcore audience as yet another expensive accessory.

So, where do you stand on all of this? Make sure you have a high speed internet connection in the comments section below.

LOS ANGELES, April 6 (Reuters) – Grammy Award-winning rapper Coolio, 59, died of a fentanyl overdose six months after the musician was found dead at a friend’s home in Los Angeles, his manager said on Thursday.

Born Artis Leon Ivy Jr., Coolio rose to fame from his 1995 album of the same name, “Gangsta’s Paradise.”

The song, featured in the film “Dangerous Minds,” was a huge hit and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance the following year.

Coolio’s manager Jarez Posey told the rapper’s family Thursday through the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office that the singer died of a fentanyl overdose.

The coroner’s office did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.

Posey said the rapper’s children plan to honor their father in future documentary and film projects.

Born in Pennsylvania in 1963, Coolio began performing as part of the West Coast hip-hop scene after moving to Compton, California.

He released his debut album “It Takes a Thief” in 1994, scoring a top ten hit with the single “Lakeside”.

Augusta, Ga. — Time Tiger Woods’ bogey on the 18th green dropped, and the bright-white tee he started the day on took on a completely different hue.

Minneapolis (CNN) While other parts of the economy are sluggish, the U.S. labor market is keeping trucking healthy.

But the high-octane ride is showing some signs of wear and tear amid the Federal Reserve’s years-long efforts to curb inflation by curbing demand.

Job cuts are mounting, hiring activity is losing momentum, and there is uncertainty about how the recent turmoil in the banking sector might ripple through the economy.

“To me, I think that sums up where we are in the labor market [the chart in this tweet] By Bloomberg’s Chief Economist [Michael McDonough]The earnings calls show that there are now more references to job cuts than references to labor shortages,” said Julia Pollock, chief economist at online employment site ZipRecruiter. “This is a big reversal after 2021 and 2022. They were talking about shortages and how everyone was struggling to find workers.”

“We are now at a critical juncture,” he added.

Just how much has changed will become clearer on Friday, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its much-anticipated jobs report for March.

Economists expect monthly job gains to slow, with consensus estimates coming in at 240,000, according to Refinitiv. That would be a significant drop from the 311,000 jobs gained in February and a significant drop from the net gain of 504,000 in January.

Refinitiv estimated the monthly unemployment rate was steady at 3.6%; Average working hours unchanged at 34.5; And average earnings for the month rose slightly (0.1 percentage points) to 0.3%, which would reduce annual average hourly earnings growth from 4.6% to 4.3%.

‘Employers are retreating’

If the labor market data released so far this week serves as a proxy, the March jobs report should show some significant cooling:

On Tuesday, the latest reading on labor turnover showed that US job openings fell below 10 million for the first time in more than a year and a half. According to the BLS’s Employment and Labor Turnover survey, the number of available jobs fell to 9.93 million in February.

The recent decline in employment indicates that the labor market is somewhat sluggish: the number of jobs available per job seeker is now less than 1.7. In January, that ratio was nearly 1.9.

Online job postings have shown a sharp rebound in recent weeks. In fact, data from the Hiring Lab shows that since March 24, postings — both overall and new — are down from a month earlier.

In addition, the share of posted benefits such as health insurance, paid time off and retirement plans has declined, Nick Bunker, head of economic research at the Indeed Hiring Lab, told CNN.

“This suggests there may be a fading of competition for hiring now,” he said.

On Wednesday, payroll processor ADP’s latest private sector jobs report came in at 145,000 for March, falling below expectations.

“Employers are pulling back from a year of strong hiring; wage growth is slowing after a three-month plateau,” ADP chief economist Nela Richardson said in a statement.

On Thursday morning, the Challenger Gray & Christmas reported that U.S. employers reported 89,703 job cuts in March, a 15% pickup from February and more than triple the number from a year ago (when the labor market recovery was in full swing).

The Challenger reported that hiring plans fell to 9,044, marking the lowest March since 2015.

March’s job cuts brought the first three-month total to 270,416, the seventh first-quarter job cut announcement in the past 35 years.

Nearly half of the layoffs came from the technology sector, where many companies are scaling back significantly after heavy hiring during the pandemic. Financial institutions reported the second-highest year-to-date job cuts, with 30,635 layoffs, Challenger reported.

On Thursday, the latest weekly jobless claims data, showing continuous claims filed by people who have received jobless benefits for more than a week, continued its upward march to 1.823 million in the week ended March 25. December 2021. Economists expect 1.699 million, according to Refinitiv.

Weekly claims totaled 228,000, down from an upwardly revised total from a week ago but above economists’ expectations of 200,000. (Starting with Thursday’s report, the Labor Department made significant revisions to data from recent years to better account for pandemic-period dynamics).

Possible red flags

The overall strength of the job market — and ongoing demand in jobless industries such as leisure and hospitality and health care — offset losses seen in technology and financials.

There is still uncertainty about the extent to which those and other layoffs may ripple through the broader labor market. That uncertainty has only grown in recent weeks as a result of the turmoil in the banking sector.

“Other banks don’t need to fail to see the impact,” Daniel Zhao, lead economist at Claustour, told CNN. “But the impact is that if banks pull back on lending to businesses, preventing businesses from continuing to expand their numbers, then we can see the impact on the labor market through the subtle ripple effects of the banking crisis that started in March.”

While it will be too soon to see those ripple effects in the March jobs report, Zhao said he still expects monthly job gains in the 200,000 to 300,000 region. However, he noted that he will be closely watching certain metrics in the jobs report that could show whether the U.S. labor market is slowing from its post-pandemic highs or beginning to slide into recession territory.

Some potential red flags might include: if the number of headline jobs is between zero and 200,000, and if the unemployment rate rises 0.2 percentage points or more.

“The concern then is that it’s starting to look like the beginning of a recession because we’ve already seen a 0.2 percentage point increase. [in the jobless rate] January to February,” he said. “So if we see another one, it starts to add up.”

In addition, a drop in average workweek hours may indicate that supply has sunk enough to force businesses to cut back hours, he said.

Industries at risk

Economists, by and large, are still factoring in a recession later this year. Although it will be “narrow and shallow,” the recession will affect some industries more than others, according to new research from the Conference Board.

A business membership and research group this week introduced the Job Loss Risk Index, which estimates which industries are likely to experience the greatest job losses during a recession.

According to the company’s findings, the highest-risk industries include information services, transportation and warehousing, and construction.

Employment in these industries increased during the pandemic as telework and e-commerce proliferated. However, that situation has changed as people have returned to work and shifted spending to service-based industries. Additionally, high interest rates have made borrowing more expensive and vulnerable industries such as housing.

The next tier of industries classified as “high” risk includes: repair, personal and other services; manufacturing; Wholesale trade; and real estate. Industries with “very low” or “low” risk include private education services, health care, public sector employment, retail sales, food services, and arts and entertainment.

What this means for future rate hikes

Friday’s jobs report will be the monthly employment report ahead of the central bank’s next policy-making meeting on May 2-3, as April data will be released on May 5.

While the March report may show continued slack in the labor market — particularly wage gains and job growth — it won’t prevent the Fed from approving a third straight quarter-point rate hike in May, Oxford Economics lead U.S. economist Nancy Vanden Houten wrote in a note on Tuesday.

“Labor market conditions may not be moderate enough to convince the Fed that inflation is easing enough to return to its 2% target,” he wrote.

Oxford Economics expects quarter-point rate hikes at the central bank’s May and June meetings, noting that a later-scheduled hike is more up in the air due to pressure from the banking sector.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is expected to release its March jobs report at 8:30 a.m. ET on Friday.
