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.

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.”

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.

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”.
