NEW YORK, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In the latest Vault Accounting 25, a ranking of the Best Accounting Firms to Work For based on a survey of approximately 9,700 accountants, PwC maintains its No. 1 ranking. It also ranks No. 1 in Prestige and No 1. in all three of our Practice Area Rankings (Audit & Assurance, Tax, and Forensic Accounting). Fellow Big 4 firm Deloitte ranks No. 2 in the Accounting 25, No. 2 in Prestige, and No. 2 all three Practice Areas. Meanwhile, Big 4 firm KPMG ranks No. 3 in the Accounting 25 and No. 4 in Prestige. The Top 10 Firms in the Vault Accounting 25 Based on Vault's Annual Accounting Survey Are: Accounting 25 Methodology This past winter, Vault asked more than 9,700 accounting professionals to rate their own firms in various Quality of Life Categories (such as Culture, Hours, Compensation, and Work/Life Balance). They were also asked to rate their peer firms in terms of Prestige (accountants couldn't rate their own firms and were asked to only rate those firms with which they were familiar). The Accounting 25 is compiled using a weighted formula based on the following: 35 percent Prestige, 20 percent Culture, 10 percent Satisfaction, 10 percent Compensation, 10 percent Work/Life Balance, 5 percent Business Outlook, 5 percent Formal Training, and 5 percent Informal Training. No. 1 PwC Is "the Gold Standard" This year, PwC again ranks No. 1 in both the Accounting 25 and our Prestige Rankings. Accountants at peer firms tell us that PwC is "the gold standard," "elite," "the best and most prestigious firm in the world by far," and "built to continue leading into the future." They say it's a "good place to start a career," has "strong technical and training programs," and its "compensation it great." Also, PwC again ranks No. 1 in all three Practice Area Rankings (Audit & Assurance, Tax, and Forensic Accounting). In addition, it ranks No. 2 in Formal Training, No. 2 in Informal Training, No. 2 in LGBTQ+ Diversity, and No. 3 in Overall Diversity. PwC insiders who took our survey tell us that they very much appreciate the firm's "great culture" and working alongside "amazing, friendly people." They also rave about the "flexibility and ability to work remotely," and "endless growth and learning opportunities." No. 2 Deloitte Is "Aggressive" and the "Top Global Firm" Accountants at peer firms tell us that Deloitte—which ranks No. 2 in the Accounting 25, No. 2 in Prestige, and No. 2 in all three Practice Areas—is "the best of the Big 4," "aggressive," "high quality," "the leader in the industry," and "the top global firm." Meanwhile, Deloitte staff members rave about the firm's "great leadership, culture, and people," as well as the "limitless growth, development, and learning opportunities." Deloitte insiders also very much appreciate the "flexible work options" and "ability to work remotely." No. 3 KPMG Is "Professional and Reputable" KPMG again ranks No. 3 in the Accounting 25 and No. 4 in Prestige. This year, peer accountants tell us that it's "very prestigious" and a "great firm" with a "friendly culture." KPMG insiders rave about the "best and brightest colleagues," "world-class clients," "flexibility of hours," and "endless development opportunities." No. 5 Plante Moran, Which "Stresses Taking Vacation," Ranks # 1 for Work/Life Balance One of the big winners in our Quality of Life Rankings this year is Michigan-based Plante Moran, which ranks No. 5 in the Vault Accounting 25, and No. in Informal Training, Vacation Policies, and Work/Life Balance. According to one Plante Moran insider, "The firm stresses taking vacation and bringing the whole person to work. Although there are times when we have to work more than we like, Plante Moran focuses on looking at the overall big picture to ensure your quality of life and work/life balance is in balance." Another staff member says, "The firm has a culture of encouraging you to take breaks, especially during busy season, and understands that flexibility may be needed to ensure a work/life balance." No. 12 Schellman Is Best for Quality of Life and Diversity For the second year in a row, Florida-based Schellman, which ranks No. 12 in the Accounting 25, is the big winner in our Quality of Life Ranking. This year, following an impressive showing in our rankings last year, Schellman ranks No. 1 in 13 Quality of Life categories: Benefits, Business Outlook, Client Interaction, Compensation, Culture, ESG Initiatives, Formal Training, Hiring Process, Hours, Internal Mobility, Overall Satisfaction, Relationships with Managers, and Promotion Policies. Schellman also sweeps our Diversity Rankings, taking the No. 1 spot in Overall Diversity, Diversity for Women, Racial & Ethnic Diversity, and LGBTQ+ Diversity. Schellman insiders tell us that the firm has "great, caring culture," and they rave about "working with great colleagues and great clients." In addition, the "compensation and benefits package are great," and there are "several strong women on the leadership team"—"the firm is led by female executives that serve as mentors for many employees." Accountants Comment on Their Firms' Responses to the Great Resignation In another year of unprecedented change, numerous accounting professionals told us about the effects the Great Resignation is having on their hours, work/life balance, wellness, and overall satisfaction. Many accounting professionals tell us they feel overworked due to staff shortages and underpaid for the extra work they're taking on, and don't think their firms will be able to sustain the pace they're on if hiring doesn't increase. Below are three representative quotes on this issue by three professionals who took our survey: "Employee turnover is increasing, and we're unable to quickly replace senior associates and managers. This is causing longer hours and greater stress for those still here to service all this new work in addition to our recurring work." -Big 4 accountant "Business is great. There's more work than we have staff to complete it. The opportunities for new clients are abundant, and new work is fairly easy to get. However, the downside is our team is being pushed to squeeze work in. This can create a stressful environment." -Top middle-market firm accountant "The firm continues to grow at a rapid pace, which is great in that it presents new opportunities for all. The downside is we're not staffed appropriately, which means a tremendous number of hours are required from the existing team and people are doing work at levels beneath them to ensure it gets done timely. This isn't a sustainable model and leads to burnout." -Leading national firm accountant All of our new accounting firm profiles include direct quotes like these from professionals about how their satisfaction with their roles have changed, about their firms' responses to the mass resignations in the public accounting industry, and more.

(The Hill) – The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is no longer enforcing the federal government’s mask mandate for travel after a federal judge in Florida struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) directive. “The agencies are reviewing the decision and assessing potential next steps,” a Biden administration official said. “In the meantime, today’s court decision means CDC’s public transportation masking order is not in effect at this time.” “Therefore, TSA will not enforce its Security Directives and Emergency Amendment requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs at this time,” the official said. The Biden administration is still encouraging travelers to wear masks on public transit in order to protect against COVID-19 in the wake of Monday’s ruling. But those who do not wear face coverings on planes and other modes of public transportation will not face consequences. White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters earlier Monday that the ruling was “disappointing” and that the administration was reviewing the decision. The Justice Department would make any decision on litigation, she said. The administration could choose to appeal the ruling. Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, an appointee of former President Trump, voided the CDC’s mandate earlier Monday, writing that the agency exceeded its statutory authority with the order requiring mask use on planes, trains and other forms of public transit. The ruling came just days after the CDC extended the mandate for 15 days through May 3. In extending the mandate, the agency said it was reviewing the impact of a recent rise in COVID-19 cases. 📲 Download the FOX4 News app to stay updated on the go. 📧 Sign up for FOX4 email alerts to have breaking news sent to your inbox. 💻 Find today’s top stories on fox4kc.com for Kansas City and all of Kansas and Missouri.

INSIGHT GLOBAL CEO SHARES IDEAS FOR EXPANDING THE TALENT POOL, ENGAGING EMPLOYEES AT THE WALL STREET JOURNAL'S JOBS SUMMIT ATLANTA, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bert Bean, CEO of Insight Global, a privately held national staffing and services company, called on employers attending The Wall Street Journal's Jobs Summit last week to focus less on college degree and job experience and more on training and development to help collectively expand the talent pool in a still highly competitive job market. "We've cooked things like college degree into how we hire people in large part because we're afraid to take a chance on somebody, and I would encourage all employers to work together to be part of the solution to expand the labor market," Bean said. "At Insight Global, we fundamentally believe that people can learn things, and I think you can really set yourself up for success by investing a lot more in training and development—it allows you to dip into talent pools you've never been able to dip in before." Insight Global was a presenting sponsor of "WSJ Jobs Summit: Succeed in the Search," a recent virtual event where business and staffing leaders shared their insights on the job market in the era of "The Great Reshuffle" and offered their advice on turning a hot job market into a competitive advantage. Bean spoke at a workshop titled, "The New Winning Formula: Recruitment and Retention in 2022." Taking questions from a moderator and the audience, Bean emphasized the importance of culture to attract and retain employees, observing that employers use the term "culture" a lot but don't always understand it. "We use culture as a causation for success at Insight Global," he said. "Culture is the habits that get formed around a company's values, and as leaders, we really need to know how to message those values through the organization so that people can understand what success is, align with those values and model their behavior around them." The full-day event was kicked off with a special appearance by Federal Reserve governor Lael Brainard, who took questions about the U.S. economic outlook and its implications for the labor market, inflation and central-bank policies. Interactive workshops and interviews covered everything from how to navigate career-enhancing opportunities to mastering remote work to forging a new career path through entrepreneurship. In addition to Bean, attendees heard from employers, job and workplace experts, career coaches and Journal reporters. A recording of Bean's interview, moderated by Lori Theodore, head of talent acquisition at Dow Jones, is available at https://vimeo.com/700316566/a9a3aa9f9c.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — A multi-vehicle pursuit took place in Albany Monday evening after shots were fired in the city. Police said a teenager was likely injured in the incident. Around 6:15 p.m. Monday, police were called to Twiller Street for reports of shots fired involving two vehicles. Police attempted a traffic stop for the involved vehicles, but both drivers fled from police. Police began a pursuit, but it ended on Broadway in Menands. One vehicle was later found in the city of Watervliet with the help of Watervliet police and Colonie police, and a few people were taken into custody. The second vehicle has not been located. Police said a 15-year-old also entered a store on the 300-block of Second Avenue Monday evening with a non-life threatening gunshot wound to his shoulder. They believe he was injured in the initial shots fired call. He was taken to Albany Medical Center for treatment. The investigation is ongoing.

WEST PAWLET, Vt. (AP) — The owner of an unpermitted firing range faces jail time if he won’t allow officials from the town of Pawlet to visit the property within 30 days, a Vermont judge said Monday. The town has been working for years to get Daniel Banyai to comply with its zoning regulations, and later orders from the state Environmental Court. During the remote hearing, Environmental Court Judge Thomas Durkin also told Banyai that he must sign a contract within 10 days with a surveyor to complete an assessment of the 30-acre property in West Pawlet to determine what is located there.“If you do not abide by this interim order in any respect,” Durkin warned Banya, he would “consider any request made by the town of Pawlet to have you jailed until you comply.” Banyai bought the 30-acre property known as Slate Ridge in 2013. Sometime in 2017, he began operating what he calls a firearms training facility. The property is only permitted to have a garage with an apartment. During the three-hour hearing, Banyai’s lawyer Robert Kaplan said he only began representing Banyai last month, but he would work with town officials and his client to find an acceptable date for a site visit. Slate Ridge neighbors have complained for some time about gunfire at the facility and what they claimed were threats and intimidation from Banyai and his supporters. Many of the neighbors of Slate Ridge said they’re afraid to talk publicly because of fears for their safety. In March 2021, Durkin ordered Banyai to end any firearms training activities at the center and to remove unpermitted structures. Banyai appealed that decision to the Vermont Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the town earlier this year. That 2021 order included the need for a site visit so officials can learn what is on the property, and it imposed a fine. Earlier this month, Banyai paid a nearly $53,000 fine. A site visit had been scheduled for last week, but was canceled at the last minute because Banyai was hospitalized, officials said in court. “I am very concerned about the evidence we’ve received thus far, particularly in relation to Mr. Banyai’s conscious decision to not abide by a judgment order that is now over a year old and was affirmed by the Vermont Supreme Court three-plus months ago,” Durkin said. Banyai testified during the hearing that he’d hired a surveyor and made plans to remove a 500-square-foot building that has been used as a schoolhouse by putting it on a trailer and taking it away. He did not say where he would take it. Earlier this year, Banyai hired a surveyor, but the survey did not have the time he needed to provide the detailed maps requested by the court.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — With no end in sight to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, some U.S. lawmakers say the U.S. needs to step in and take more action to stop Russia. However, it’s a delicate consideration for lawmakers and the Biden administration to decide how involved the U.S. can get in the conflict in Ukraine due to fears of what Russia would do in retaliation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine won’t give up its fight against Russia in the besieged eastern city of Mariupol. “It is very important for us not to allow them, to stand our ground,” Zelenskyy said, despite warnings from Russia to the remaining troops there to surrender or die. On CBS Face the Nation, U.S. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) says the U.S. shouldn’t give up either. “the American people cannot turn away from this tragedy in Ukraine,” he said. Coons advocated for more U.S. involvement in Ukraine. “I think the history of the 21st century turns on how fiercely we defend freedom in Ukraine. And that Putin will only stop when we stop him,” he said. On Capitol Hill, more than one U.S. senator said perhaps U.S. troop involvement in Ukraine shouldn’t be completely off the table as Russia shows no signs of backing off its attack on Ukraine. “The president, in terms of his decisions as commander in chief, needs to look clearly at the level of brutality,” Coons said. Russia has already sent a warning to the U.S. to stop sending weapons to Ukraine. U.S. involvement in helping Ukraine has been measured in part because Russia possesses nuclear weapons that some experts fear Russian President Vladimir Putin would use. Meanwhile, Pope Francis addressed those fears of nuclear war in his Easter Sunday remarks. “Shall we put an end to the human race, or shall mankind renounce war?” Francis asked. Another reason the U.S. hasn’t sent troops to defend Ukraine is that Ukraine isn’t part of NATO. So far, President Joe Biden has held firm in his decision the U.S. won’t send troops to fight in Ukraine.

Media information, including photos, is available at http://gofly.us/iiFa303wrtF Nobody has ever failed so hard at trying to be good as The Bad Guys. In the new action comedy from DreamWorks Animation, based on the New York Times best-selling book series, a crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws are about to attempt their most challenging con yet—becoming model citizens. Never have there been five friends as infamous as The Bad Guys—dashing pickpocket Wolf (Academy Award® winner Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), seen-it-all safecracker Snake (Marc Maron, GLOW), chill master-of-disguise Shark (Craig Robinson, Hot Tub Time Machine franchise), short-fused "muscle" Piranha (Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) and sharp-tongued expert hacker Tarantula (Awkwafina, Crazy Rich Asians), aka "Webs." But when, after years of countless heists and being the world's most-wanted villains, the gang is finally caught, Wolf brokers a deal (that he has no intention of keeping) to save them all from prison: The Bad Guys will go good. Under the tutelage of their mentor Professor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade, Paddington 2), an arrogant (but adorable!) guinea pig, The Bad Guys set out to fool the world that they've been transformed. Along the way, though, Wolf begins to suspect that doing good for real may give him what he's always secretly longed for: acceptance. So when a new villain threatens the city, can Wolf persuade the rest of the gang to become … The Good Guys? The film co-stars Zazie Beetz (Joker), Lilly Singh (Bad Moms) and Emmy winner Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). From a screenplay by Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa) based on the blockbuster Scholastic books by Aaron Blabey, The Bad Guys is directed by Pierre Perifel (animator, the Kung Fu Panda films), making his feature-directing debut. The film is produced by Damon Ross p.g.a. (development executive Trolls, The Boss Baby, co-producer Nacho Libre) and Rebecca Huntley p.g.a. (associate producer, The Boss Baby). The executive producers are Etan Cohen, Aaron Blabey and Patrick Hughes. Media Contact Phone: 702-800-2020 Email: [email protected] SOURCE Allegiant Travel Company

City agree Haaland terms Manchester City have agreed terms with Erling Haaland in a deal that would make him the Premier League's highest paid player, the Daily Mail reports. A £500,000-a-week contract is in the offing after City put together a suitable financial package in the hope of convincing Haaland to join. With that in place, City will look to trigger his £63m release clause and could look to complete the move in the next week or so, although last week Borussia Dortmund stressed that nothing was finalised with Real Madrid and PSG also in the hunt. Ad Transfers Haaland injury concerns over Real or Man City transfer - Paper Round Paper Round's view: The Mail are calling this a significant step and so you really get the sense this is close to a done deal. The onus will be on Real and PSG to match that salary, with all manner of fees lined up too, so let’s see if they make a late play to deny City. ** Real want James Real Madrid could launch an audacious bid to sign Reece James this summer, the Mirror reports. Both Real boss Carlo Ancelotti and the club's scouting department were impressed with James' performances against them in the Champions League recently, and they could look to test Chelsea's resolve this summer. The England international is a homegrown favourite at Chelsea, but Real are eager for a summer shake-up and have placed James high on their transfer list. Paper Round's view: This would be very intriguing. How much would it take for Chelsea to accept? You would imagine the fee is too high for this to go through, but it does raise the idea of James eventually moving on. It would take some offer, and a desire for a new challenge from James' perspective, to make that happen. Maybe a few more summers down the line. ** Rudiger not going Man Utd Manchester United will look to sign a new centre back this summer, but there is little expectation that Antonio Rudiger will join from Chelsea, the Manchester Evening News reports. Rudiger is out of contract at the end of the season, and while the German defender has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, United's hopes of signing him are slim despite holding initial talks with his representatives. The desire to play Champions League football means a move to United isn't on the cards. Paper Round's view: No surprise, really. Rudiger has the attention of Europe's biggest clubs, and he will want to continue playing at the highest level. That could yet be Chelsea, but Real feels likely. For United, where they finish could dictate their summer recruiting. ** Trio of clubs eye Silva Barcelona, Juventus and PSG are monitoring Bernardo Silva's position at Manchester City, Fichajes in Spain reports. The Portuguese playmaker, who has scored 11 goals in 43 appearances this season, came close to leaving City last summer. It is unclear whether City would be willing to sell Silva, who is contracted there till 2025, but Barca could make a move for him if Ousmane Dembele moves on, while Juve and PSG could look to make him their replacements for Paulo Dybala and Kylian Mbappe respectively. Paper Round's view: With a contract until 2025, it is tough to see City selling the 27-year-old this summer, and you would imagine they might want a fee closer to £100m than £50m if a club was seriously interested. If City wait to raise funds for their Erling Haaland pursuit, then maybe, but this doesn't seem too likely.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – After a pandemic pause, the White House sprang to life Monday as thousands of kids once again raced with colorful eggs across the South Lawn. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden welcomed a large, mostly unmasked crowd of about 30,000 people to this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll. “We’re finally getting together again,” President Biden said. “It means so much to see and hear the children and all the families show up to be here today. The joy. The laughter.” While the president refereed some of the first egg roll races, the first lady used her role as an educator to add her own personal touch to the event. “We turned the South Lawn into a school community,” First Lady Biden said. This year’s education themed Egg Roll showcased more traditional holiday favorites, like meeting the Easter bunny, hunting for eggs or for Mackenzie McMillan, who traveled to the White House for the first time with her family from Maryland: “The candy.” But participants from all across the country also experienced things only the White House could bring, like a book reading by “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon, a decades-old display of the First Ladies’ commemorative Easter eggs or for Vivienne Allison, who also traveled from Maryland with her family: “We saw the vice president.” “It’s an amazing experience to just get on the lawn there,” Vivienne’s dad, Mike Allison, said. “And a new thing for them to experience as well.” The White House has welcomed children and their families for the annual Easter Egg Roll since 1878. The general public can apply for tickets through an online lottery.

New 65+ Primary Care Clinic in Mt. Dora Raising The Standard For Healthcare Patient-Focused Health Network, VIPcare, Opens New Primary Care Clinic to Provide Better Health to the Medicare Advantage Community TAMPA, Fla., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VIPcare, a patient-focused primary care network based in Florida, is excited to announce the opening of their new local clinic in Mt. Dora. With the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on community health resulting in a national epidemic of delayed health screenings and worsened chronic conditions, VIPcare has adapted to the risks and has remained committed to delivering the first line of care in communities. In addition, they have successfully and safely maintained continuity of care to their patients with both preventive and routine care. "It is very exciting being able to open the doors to a new revolutionary healthcare facility that will provide first-class primary care services to the Medicare Advantage community of Mt. Dora," Dr. Boloczko of VIPcare Mt. Dora said. "I'm excited to see new patients and join them on their health care journey to Better Health." VIPcare uses a model that puts quality time spent between a doctor and patient at the forefront. By spending more time with the physician, VIPcare believes patients will get more thorough diagnoses and treatments, leading to a better quality of life and less time spent in the hospital. Unlike other healthcare providers, VIPcare encourages patients to see their physicians often where highly specialized care is created just for them and their specific needs. In efforts to guide patients to Better Health, VIPcare helps to eliminate potential health care burdens during this time of uncertainty by offering services including same-day appointments, transportation assistance to and from clinics, and virtual visits when needed. VIPcare physicians are dedicated to always doing what needs to be done to provide a better experience and the highest quality of care to their patients. They believe in quality, not quantity. VIPcare primary care physicians walk side-by-side with their patients, providing them with access to comprehensive health care services allowing them to take a proactive role in their own health care journey. The new VIPcare clinic, which is located at 16860 U.S. 441, is now accepting patients who receive Medicare Advantage plan benefits.

By focusing on a senior care model and increasing access to high-quality care, VIPcare's model is at the forefront of the future of healthcare, as opposed to the current system the healthcare organization refers to as "sick care." VIPcare patients are encouraged to see the doctor often instead of only when they are sick, contributing to their success towards patient outcomes. SOURCE VIPcare

A few products also aid in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and injuries and support disabled body parts and prevent such conditions from worsening. Increasing prevalence of various diseases and conditions that necessitate use of the DME constitutes the major growth promoting factor for the market. Prevalence of cardiac disorders, ophthalmic ailments, gynecological complications, neurological conditions and cancers among several other diseases is increasing in countries across the world, contributing towards DME market growth at the global level. The number of geriatric patients is also increasing in countries across the world. This constitutes another important market growth promoting factor. By 2050, around 80 percent of the elderly population would be residing in middle- and low-income countries. Demand for products would be high from both home healthcare facilities and PoC treatment facilities. Centers that take care of the elderly are also increasing in number owing to growing proportion of the aged in populations of countries. Another important market growth promoting factor is the rapid technological advancement in the area. Sophisticated products with better features are brought to the market on a regular basis by major companies as well as innovative start-ups. The latest DME are incorporating advanced technologies like AI for ensuring enhanced patient comfort, which is another prominent market growth inducing factor. Demand for the products surged in the recent years, also due to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and rise in the number of hospitals led to demand surge for various DME products. Another major trend, influencing market growth positively, is the increasing prominence of home care settings in managing various medical conditions. Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Durable Medical Equipment estimated at US$207.1 Billion in the year 2022, is projected to reach a revised size of US$273.5 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% over the analysis period.

After a thorough analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the Personal Mobility Devices segment is readjusted to a revised 7.6% CAGR for the next 7-year period. This segment currently accounts for a 11.5% share of the global Durable Medical Equipment market. The DME category of therapeutic and monitoring devices in particular holds immense promise for future growth of the overall market. There are again various types of these devices including infusion pumps, vital sign monitors, CPAP devices, nebulizers and blood glucose analyzers among others.

Layering Sustainable Practices Over Legacy Traditions CLAREMONT, N.H., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Trends toward non-GMO, organic foods may seem like the best thing to hit the food scene since sliced bread, but for North Country Smokehouse, the rest of the world just joined the dinner table. The company celebrated 16 years of organic farming last summer, marking the occasion with a pasture to plate luncheon on Egli farm, one of the first-ever farms to join the company's organic program. "We spent 3-full days on the farm," said Alicia Baker, Director of Marketing for North Country Smokehouse. "It is easy to get caught up in the business of making better-for-you food accessible. Having feet on the ground and seeing the story in action is inspiring. It's tangible. The impact on the farmers, the livestock, and the land are evident." The agri-food producer quite literally puts their money where their mouth is. They have been committed to humanely raised and organic farming for decades, long before the movement began. "We realized there was a demand for clean label, organic pork and meeting it would require adding more certified organic suppliers to our 400-farm, family-owned operation." says Aaron Corbett, North Country Smokehouse, CEO. No easy feat considering the transition to organic requires farmers to shut down operations for 3-years, the time it takes to remove chemical pesticides and other synthetics from the soil and water. "Our farm model is designed to help farmers transition to organic. We subsidize the farms with fair market prices during their transition and share our years of learning. These partnerships have an enormous impact on family farmers and ultimately - impacts the entire food system." Corbett says. Once the farms have successfully converted to organic, they become a premium supplier under the NCS organic program, which credits their off-market operations for the quality, consistency, and stable pricing the brand has become well known for. About North Country Smokehouse As one of America's few remaining family-owned smokehouses, North Country's mission is to hand craft premium, artisanal smoked meats through culinary excellence, exceptional animal care standards, and respect for the land. Located in the heart of New England, their authentic charcuterie features only the best hand-selected, natural ingredients and small batch smoking process over embers of local hardwoods. The NCS product line features smoked bacon, ham, sausages, deli meats, and unique offerings like smoked chicken, and Cajun Pork Tasso. Voted America's Best Bacon by Men's Journal, New England's Best Meat by Yankee Magazine, and The Best Bacon in America by Food & Wine, North Country is noted for balancing taste with time-honored tradition and modern food trends.

WASHINGTON, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While drug overdose deaths reached an all-time high in 2021, opioid prescribing by physicians and clinicians dropped significantly in emergency departments that prioritized personalized feedback between peers, according to a new analysis in Annals of Emergency Medicine. From January 2019 to July 2021, opioid prescribing dropped 35% among physicians and 41% among nurse practitioners and physician assistants, according to the analysis of care teams from one physician group spanning 102 emergency departments in 17 states. "The impact of peer-to-peer feedback on opioid prescribing was immediate and profound," said Jesse Pines, MD, MBA, FACEP, national director of clinical innovation at US Acute Care Solutions, professor of emergency medicine at Drexel University and the study's senior author. "Emergency physicians are leading efforts to evolve the culture of prescribing. Sometimes, all it takes to bring about meaningful change is a data-driven conversation that details the evidence behind the many non-opioid options that can achieve similar or even better pain control." The study, "Opioid Prescription Reduction After Implementation of a Feedback Program in a National Subset of Emergency Departments," appearing in the May edition of Annals of Emergency Medicine is the largest known analysis of emergency clinician prescribing interventions to date. The authors assessed the impact of conversations between clinicians and site directors about prescribing rationale and patterns, education on using alternatives to opioids whenever feasible, and the use of a prescription drug management program. Each conversation was personalized and informed by national data gathered by the participating clinicians' staffing group. Decreases in opioid prescribing were evident across the most common diagnoses, according to the study. Opioid prescribing for injury or poisoning decreased 15% while prescribing for symptoms of illness dropped 25%, as did prescribing for respiratory disease (40%), infection or parasite (54%), blood circulation issues (36%), and endocrine or nutritional issues (28%). Although emergency departments are not a significant source of opioid prescriptions overall, emergency physicians continue to lead programs that reduce opioid prescribing and can be adapted by other health care professionals. "This research gives clinicians and administrators a promising model for limiting opioid prescribing in a variety of different ED settings," said the study's lead author Jonathan Oskvarek, MD, MBA, emergency physician and innovation fellow at US Acute Care Solutions. "Emergency physicians are setting a strong example for prescribers by prioritizing alternatives to opioids when appropriate, a choice that goes a long way toward preventing opioid overdoses." Annals of Emergency Medicine is one of the peer-reviewed scientific journals for the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), the national medical society representing emergency medicine. Annals of Emergency Medicine is the largest and most frequently cited circulation peer-reviewed journal in emergency medicine and publishes original research, clinical reports, opinion, and educational information related to the practice, teaching, and research of emergency medicine.

Technological developments to boost replacement demand CLEVELAND, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- US demand for power transmission components is forecast to advance 3.8% yearly in nominal terms through 2026, according to Power Transmission Components: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Suppliers will benefit from increases in domestic output of durable products such as machinery and motor vehicles that incorporate power transmission components. Durable goods shipments are expected to grow 3.3% per year through 2026. Persistent global demand for technologically advanced products made in the US will support domestic demand for power transmission components used in their production. In addition, ongoing technological developments will boost replacement demand for more efficient and higher-priced power transmission components. However, rising imports of machinery and other equipment are expected to continue to restrain demand growth for power transmission components in products manufactured in the US. Additionally, the increasing penetration of battery-electric vehicles into the motor vehicle market will hamper demand for power transmission components in that market, as fully electric vehicles have much simpler transmissions. Demand is expected to grow of 2.0% in 2022 as the economy continues its recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those increases will be supported by 9.0% growth in motor vehicle production and 3.1% growth in machinery shipments. These and other key insights are featured in Power Transmission Components: United States. This report forecasts to 2022 and 2026 US demand and shipments of power transmission components in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total demand and shipments are segmented by product in terms of: - motor vehicle transmissions and powertrain parts - ball and roller bearings - gears and gearboxes - mechanical power transmission parts To illustrate historical trends, total demand, total shipments, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2011 to 2021. Excluded from the scope of this report are motor vehicle engine bearings and electric motor components, as well as flexure, fluid, and magnetic bearing products. Also excluded are related bearing hardware such as adaptor and withdrawal sleeves, locknuts and washers, lubricators, and retaining plates. In addition, certain types of power transmission components (e.g., ball, swivel, and universal joints) for use in aerospace equipment are excluded from the scope of this report, although bearings for aerospace equipment are included in the bearings segment. Re-exports of power transmission components are excluded from demand and trade figures. More information about the report is available at: https://www.freedoniafocusreports.com/Power-Transmission-Components-United-States-FF70010/?progid=91541 Each month, The Freedonia Group – a division of MarketResearch.com – publishes over 20 new or updated Freedonia Focus Reports, providing fresh, unbiased analysis on a wide variety of markets and industries.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert Hammel is being recognized by Continental Who's Who as a Distinguished Lifetime Achiever for his outstanding achievements in Sports Journalism and in recognition of his award-winning career, spanning over 50 years. When it came to Indiana sports, Robert Hammel always found himself where the action was, and through his writing, he made his readers feel as if they were on the sidelines with him. Even though he is now technically retired from journalism, he occasionally finds himself pounding away at a keyboard to produce a sports column. Mr. Hammel's first job in the newspaper business came in 1954. After finishing his first year of college at Indiana University, he landed a writing position with the Huntington Herald Press's hometown paper. What was originally going to be a summer job for him turned into a full-time sports reporting position, and Mr. Hammel didn't return to Indiana University for another 12 years. Following his first job at the Huntington paper, Mr. Hammel subsequently worked for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, the Peru Tribune, the Kokomo Morning Times, and the Indianapolis News from 1954 to 1966.

In 1990, Mr. Hammel was also selected to the U.S. Basketball Writers Hall of Fame. In 1995, he was presented the Curt Gowdy Award from the National Basketball Hall of Fame. And in 1996, he received the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame's Silver Medal Award for distinguished service. He was also the recipient of the Bert McGrane Award by the College Football Hall of Fame and the Jake Wade Award by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Hammel was responsible for covering numerous top national and international sporting events tied to the Hoosier State during his esteemed career. He was in Pasadena in 1968 for Indiana University's only appearance in the Rose Bowl. In 1972, he was in Munich, Germany, when Indiana swimmer Mark Spitz won seven gold medals at an Olympic Games. The sportswriter was in Philadelphia in 1976 when the Indiana University basketball team went undefeated on the season, winning the national championship under the helm of the young Coach Bob Knight. He was also in New Orleans in 1987 when Knight's teams also won national championships. In the year of his retirement, Mr. Hammel traveled to Atlanta, GA, to cover the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. Among his professional affiliations, Mr. Hammel is a former president of the United States Basketball Writers Association and a member of the Football Writers Association and the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association.

PITTSBURGH, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert Ramirez has been named the new head of the Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama, effective August 1. Ramirez joins CMU from the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Texas at Austin (UT), where he served as professor and chair. Ramirez joined UT in 2014 as associate professor and head of acting. He later was named professor of acting and, in 2016, became head of the Performance Division. He was named senior associate chair and Interim chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance prior to his appointment as department chair in March 2020. During his tenure as chair, Ramirez brought his extensive professional career experience to bear, in order to benefit the student experience, as well as benefit the roles of faculty and staff in the department. He worked to transform hiring practices at UT, resulting in the addition off five full-time BIPOC tenure-track faculty members in the last two years. He also created the role of a department intimacy director, who addresses production needs, as well as curricular and pedagogical imperatives. Prior to his roles at UT, Ramirez was at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, serving as an associate professor of acting, voice, speech and dialects. He also was an adjunct professor of voice and speech for the stage at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City; he served in a similar role at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. Ramirez has long been a part of the professional theater industry, as well. He has worked as a professional voice artist; voice, text and acting coach; director and actor. His research interests lie in the areas of Shakespeare and classical theater, contemporary acting practices, voice and speech pedagogy, and recorded voice artist practices. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Los Angeles Theatre Academy at Los Angeles City College and earned his MFA at the University of Delaware's Professional Theatre Training Program. "I've admired Robert's leadership for years and could not be more delighted that he will be joining us at CMU. I'm absolutely convinced that he is the right person to take the School of Drama forward, in community and in this exact moment," said Mary Ellen Poole, dean, College of Fine Arts. A strong believer in giving back, Ramirez intends to continue his service to the community, the university, the profession and, most importantly, the School of Drama at Carnegie Mellon. Throughout his career, he has extended his reach as an academic and theater professional to help raise awareness of the power of the arts. That will not change upon his arrival in Pittsburgh, he said. "I am, indeed, honored to join the School of Drama at Carnegie Mellon," he said. "This is an opportunity to build upon the solid reputation and foundation that exist here among every discipline that contributes to the theater-making process and performance industry. " Dean Poole also commended the search committee members who assisted in bringing Ramirez on board. "We all owe a debt of gratitude to the tireless search advisory committee co-chaired by Sartje Pickett and Tomé Cousin and assisted by a team from Isaacson Miller as well as Amy Kapp," she said. "Members were Carolyn Hess Abraham, Mindy Eshelman, Kyle Haden, Rob Handel, Cindy Limauro, Mica Harrison Loosemore, Britton Mauk, Catherine Moore, Susan Tsu, Miso Wei , Kim Weild and Charlie White." About the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama The CMU School of Drama is the oldest degree-granting program in the United States, having celebrated its centennial in 2014. The school seeks to be a community of educators, learners, leaders and artists who cultivate an equitable, diverse, open and inclusive community based on empathy and integrity. The School of Drama advances arts education as an essential part of all individuals' lives and, collectively, society on the whole. CMU and The Tony Awards, for which the university serves as the exclusive higher education partner, celebrate arts education and k-12 teachers each year at the awards with the Excellence in Theatre Education Award.

Roger Druckman, DDS is recognized by Continental Who's Who DENVER, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Roger Druckman, DDS is being recognized by Continental Who's Who as a Distinguished Dentist for his work in the Dental field and in acknowledgment of his private practice accomplishments. Dr. Druckman is an expert in dentistry who has provided family dental care for over 40 years. He works with children and adults for general/cosmetic dentistry services. Moreover, Dr. Druckman's post graduate training prepared him for carrying out more complex procedures such as dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, dentures, orthodontics for children and adults, TMJ/TMD treatments, and appliances for sleep apnea/snoring. By age eleven Dr. Druckman knew he wanted to become a doctor and he credits his grandparents and parents as his primary inspiration. His father was a tool-maker and his mother a fine artist; so he developed an eye for artistry/detail. With a love of learning, Dr. Druckman began his undergraduate education at Long Island University Zeckendorf Campus. He graduated from the New York University College of Dentistry, earning a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. He completed advanced dental training programs in 1983 at the Clinical Foundation of Orthopedics and Orthodontics, in 1984 at the United States Dental Institute, and in 1984 and 1986 at the American Straight Wire Orthodontic Association. He pursued additional training in 2004, completing the yearlong New York Maxi Course in Implantology through the New York University College of Dentistry. Dr. Druckman served on active duty as a Dentist in the United States Army Dental Corps from 1975-1979. He then trained with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal Justice Information Services Division; assisting law enforcement in several cases by helping to identify missing or unidentifiable persons. As a top-performing dental professional, Dr. Druckman is affiliated with several institutions, for example: Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), a Fellow of the Academy of Dentistry International (FADI), a Fellow of the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics (FICCMO), and a Fellow of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (FAACP). He is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Pain Management (DAAPM), and a member of the American Association of Functional Orthodontics, the American Dental Association, The Colorado Dental Association, the Metropolitan Denver Dental Society, The Colorado Prosthodontic Society, the American Orthodontic Society, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the Academy of GP Orthodontics, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. Dr. Druckman was invited to represent the United States at the American Society of Pain Educators meeting in Vietnam in 2005 and at the People to People Ambassador Programs' Anesthesiology and Pain Management Delegation in South Africa. Although he was unable to attend either event, he is highly regarded on both counsels. Dr. Druckman was awarded the Patients' Choice Award in 2012 and attributes his successes to his strong faith in God. He clearly loves his work and does plan on retiring anytime soon. In his free time, Dr. Druckman loves to spend time with his family, including his two adult daughters, their husbands, and his 6 year old grandson. His hobbies include reading, basketball, fishing, and walking. He dedicates this honorable recognition to great mentors: Dr. Donald Kitzis, Dr. Harold Gelb, Dr. Bredan Stack, and Dr. Jack Hayden.

NEW YORK, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) between April 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important June 6, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased AbbVie securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the AbbVie class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5119 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 6, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) safety concerns about Xeljanz and Xeljanz XR extended to Rinvoq and other Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors; (2) as a result, it was likely that the FDA would require additional safety warnings for Rinvoq and would delay the approval of additional treatment indications for Rinvoq; and (3) therefore, defendants' statements about AbbVie's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the AbbVie class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5119 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Reggie Townsend among those who will advise the president on AI issues CARY, N.C., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The US Department of Commerce has named Reggie Townsend, Director of the Data Ethics Practice at analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) software company SAS, to the National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee (NAIAC). The NAIAC will advise the president and the National AI Initiative Office on a range of issues related to AI. Created in response to the National AI Initiative Act of 2020, the NAIAC provides recommendations on the current state of US AI competitiveness, the state of science around AI and AI workforce issues. AI encompasses many technologies, including machine learning, neural networks, computer vision and natural language processing. While it has the potential to improve quality of life, it also can create or exacerbate inequities. "AI comes with promise and peril," said Townsend. "The need for legal, technical, social and academic frameworks to capitalize on the promise of AI while mitigating the peril is not only important but urgent in these times. I'm hopeful we will succeed and consider it an honor and a privilege to do my part." As Director of the SAS Data Ethics Practice, Townsend leads a globally coordinated effort to empower employees and customers to deploy data-driven systems that promote human well-being, agency and equity. "At the heart of everything he does, Reggie emphasizes centering technology around people to ensure a positive impact on our society," said SAS CEO Jim Goodnight. "I know he will bring the same collaborative approach and wise counsel that makes him such a valued leader at SAS to the committee." Upon the announcement of NAIAC board members, two North Carolina congresspeople extended their congratulations. - "Reggie Townsend is a dedicated and conscientious artificial intelligence expert, and I am pleased by his appointment to the newly formed National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee," said Representative David Price (NC-04). "His career commitment to equity and oversight in the field of AI will be critical in establishing NAIAC's important work, and I look forward to his leadership on the national level." - "The Research Triangle in North Carolina is a global leader in science and technology, propelled by companies and visionaries like Reggie Townsend, who is performing cutting-edge work in the field of artificial intelligence at SAS," said Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02). "Reggie has not only been a leader in technology and business development for decades, he has also championed initiatives for equity and inclusion to improve the workplace for everyone. I'm proud that he'll now be advising the Department of Commerce and bringing his expertise to the White House." Townsend has also recently been invited to join the board of EqualAI, a nonprofit organization focused on reducing unconscious bias in the development and use of AI. In addition to leading the SAS Data Ethics Practice, Townsend serves on the leadership council of the SAS Black Initiatives Group (BIG), one of several company-sponsored inclusion groups led by employees. He is also on the SAS Diversity and Inclusion Action Board. Townsend has more than 20 years of experience in strategic planning, program management, consulting and business development, focusing on topics such as advanced analytics, cloud computing and AI. With visibility across multiple industries and sectors where the use of AI is growing, he combines this extensive business and technology expertise with a passion for equity and human empowerment. NAIAC members represent a broad and interdisciplinary range of AI-relevant disciplines from across academia, industry, nonprofits and civil society. Committee members will serve three-year terms and may serve two consecutive terms at the discretion of the secretary. According to US Deputy Secretary of Commerce Don Graves, in an announcement of the NAIAC committee members: "The diverse leaders of our inaugural National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee represent the best and brightest of their respective fields and will be instrumental in helping the department strike this balance. Their anticipated recommendations to the president and the National AI Initiative Office will serve as building blocks for US AI policy for decades to come, and I am immensely grateful for their voluntary service."

Heinemann, a well-known New York City socialite, established Old Fashioned Mom LLC as a conglomerate specializing in Media, Broadcasting and Products with businesses around the world heralded in the media and among consumers. "We wish the world Happy Easter and Passover," Scaglia and Heinemann said in a joint statement issued on Sunday. "We especially ask everyone who cares about peace and decency around the world to pray for Ukrainians today as well. May they prevail over the inhumanity of the Russian invaders. Our hearts and prayers are with all Ukrainians in their mother country and those forced to flee to avoid the slaughter of women and children by the Russian invaders. We support the right of Ukraine to be free and independent and at peace, as should all Americans." Of Michelle-Marie Heinemann, Scaglia said, "She is a distinguished person of serious achievements, and I admire and respect her and love her greatly.

HOUSTON — A little girl who's been the focus of countless prayers is out of ICU and out of a coma two months after being shot in a Houston road rage case. Nine-year-old Ashanti Grant can't walk or talk yet but she's awake, alert and responsive, her father told KHOU 11 News reporter Melissa Correa Monday. "She’s doing pretty good," Frank Grant said. "It looks pretty bright for her." His baby girl is able to hold his hand now as he sits beside the hospital bed she's been laying in for nearly 10 weeks. "She is a miracle baby. She’s come a long way. She’s turned doubters into believers," Frank said. Ashanti's family never lost faith that she would pull through, even when doctors weren't sure. People all over the country have been praying for the little girl with the big smile. RELATED: More coverage of Ashanti Grant case Ashanti's dad said she's still got a tough road ahead as she relearns all of the other things the man who put a bullet in her brain took from her. They're hoping to move her to TIRR soon so she can start rehab. "She still needs, still needs help," Frank said. "I just got to keep being strong for her because I know she needs me. We need each other. She’s my strength and I’m her strength." What happened the night Ashanti Grant was shot? While Ashanti will have to learn to walk again, the gunman who shot her still walks free. A $30,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction and someone out there knows something. It happened sometime after 9 p.m. on Tuesday, February 8, on the Southwest Freeway between the Beltway and the Fondren exits. Ashanti was in the car with her family headed to a grocery store on when police said a man in a white pickup shot at their vehicle. Her uncle, who was in the car that night, said Frank stopped at a light under a Beltway 8 overpass and was waiting to turn left onto the northbound Highway 59 feeder road. As the light turned green, Kevin said he remembers a white GMC Denali truck cutting off the family in the dedicated turning lane. He said the truck came from the lane farthest from the left side of the street before it took a sharp right, nearly hitting another vehicle along the way. Kevin said Ashanti’s dad let the truck pass before speeding up to enter the highway. “Like he was racing us or something,” Kevin told us in February. “First thing I told my brother was, 'That dude's crazy. Let’s get away from him.' Because I know we got kids in the car.” Kevin said, the next thing he knew, someone was shooting at the back of the family’s SUV. It was a dangerous escalation that he said happened so fast. “He was just shooting a lot." Kevin said Ashanti was sitting in the back seat watching cartoons when she was struck by a bullet. The gunman, a Hispanic man between 20 and 30 years old, was driving a 2017 GMC Denali. If you have any information, please call Houston Crime Stoppers at 713-521-4600 or the Houston Police Department. "I just pray and hope that someone does the right thing and gives this person up and not try to help this person run from the police," Frank said. "They’ve done something and they need to answer to what they’ve done to an innocent kid. Mountain of medical bills Family members describe Ashanti as a child who writes love letters to her family, loves princesses and still believes in fairy tales. Videos shared with KHOU 11 by her grandmothers show the sweet and sassy sides of her personality. Ashanti's 4th grade classmates in Alvin ISD haven't forgot about her. They sent a hand-made poster with messages of encouragement that's hanging in her hospital room. "I just continue to ask Houston to do what they’ve been doing. Keep praying and believing," Frank told us. Meanwhile, the hospital bills keep piling up and a GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family.

WASHINGTON — After a federal judge struck down the federal mask mandate covering air travel and other public transportation Monday, major U.S. airlines are confirming that masks are now optional for passengers on most flights. Likewise, the White House has acknowledged that the mandate is “is not in effect at this time," but added that federal agencies are currently deciding how to respond to the judge’s order. United Airlines said in a statement that both employees and passengers will no longer be required to wear face coverings onboard all domestic flights, effective immediately. Some international flights could still require passengers and crew to wear face masks depending on the arrival country's mask policy, the airline added. United said that passengers will still have the option to wear a mask as current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines strongly recommend wearing a mask on public transit. American Airlines also said it will no longer be required on domestic flights, but may be required on some flights if local or international rules require it. Alaska Airlines passengers will also no longer be required to wear face masks, according to a statement on the company's website. "It has been a long 24 months with nearly constant change. I could not be prouder of our frontline employees who have handled every pivot focusing on safety and the care we’re known for,” said Max Tidwell, VP of safety & security at Alaska Airlines. “We’re also thankful for our guests who remained considerate, patient and stood by us throughout every twist and turn.” In a press release, Delta Air Lines said that employees and passengers are also no longer required to wear masks onboard planes or at U.S. airports. The airline added: "We are relieved to see the U.S. mask mandate lift to facilitate global travel as COVID-19 has transitioned to an ordinary seasonal virus." Delta also urged passengers to be patient with the new guidance for at least 24 hours as not all airline and federal employees may be hearing about the change right away. Southwest Airlines announced that because the TSA is no longer enforcing the policy, employees and passengers will similarly no longer be required to wear face masks. Amtrak also said passengers and employees are no longer required to wear masks on trains or in stations, but are welcome to do so if they wish. Frontier Airlines, Allegiant Air, Spirit Airlines and JetBlue have yet to comment on the policy change, and their websites still indicate that masks are required as per the now-defunct mandate.

These major U.S. airlines are dropping mask requirements LOS ANGELES - On Monday, a federal judge rejected the national mask mandate for airlines and public transportation. Shortly after the mask requirement got struck down by the judge, the Biden Administration announced that TSA will no longer enforce the mandate. So what will this mean for travelers going in and out of LAX? FOX 11 looked into airlines serving Los Angeles' biggest airport to see if they will no longer require their passengers to mask up. Below is a list of airlines that will drop their passenger mask requirements in response to Monday's development: AMERICAN AIRLINES MASK POLICY American Airlines announced it will no longer require its passengers and crew members flying in and out of U.S. airports to mask up. The airline warned "face masks may still be required based on local ordinances," or for certain international flights. Below is a full statement from the airline: ALASKA AIRLINES MASK POLICY Masks are optional in airports and onboard all Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air flights, according to the airline's announcement Monday. DELTA AIR LINES MASK POLICY Below is a statement released by the airline Monday: Following the ruling of a U.S. district court judge on Monday, April 18, the Biden Administration announced that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer enforce the federal mandate requiring masks in all U.S. airports and onboard aircraft. Effective immediately, masks are optional for all airport employees, crew members and customers inside U.S. airports and onboard aircraft. JETBLUE MASK POLICY JetBlue is also making masks optional for its passengers and crew members. Below is a statement released by the airline: In line with Monday’s federal court ruling and the Transportation Security Administration’s guidance, mask wearing will now be optional on JetBlue. While no longer required, customers and crewmembers are welcome to continue wearing masks in our terminals and on board our aircraft. SOUTHWEST AIRLINES MASK POLICY Southwest is also making masks optional for its crew members and passengers. Below is a full statement released by the airline: On Monday, a federal judge issued a decision stating the federal mask mandate for public transportation, including on airlines and at airports, is no longer in effect. Thereafter, the White House announced the masking order is not in effect, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will not enforce the federal mask mandate at this time. As a result of this development, effectively immediately, Southwest Employees and Customers will be able to choose whether they would like to wear a mask, and we encourage individuals to make the best decision to support their personal wellbeing. Additionally, Southwest will continue supporting the comfort of those who travel with us by offering additional layers of protection, including sophisticated cabin air ventilation systems onboard our aircraft which incorporate HEPA air filtration that removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles. We appreciate the cooperation and compliance efforts of our Customers and Employees as policies have evolved. We’ll continue to monitor public health guidance, and federal requirements, while always keeping safety as our uncompromising priority. UNITED AIRLINES MASK POLICY Below is a statement released by the airline Monday: Effective immediately, masks are no longer required at United on domestic flights, select international flights (dependent upon the arrival country’s mask requirements) or at U.S. airports. While this means that our employees are no longer required to wear a mask – and no longer have to enforce a mask requirement for most of the flying public – they will be able to wear masks if they choose to do so, as the CDC continues to strongly recommend wearing a mask on public transit. We will continue to closely monitor the situation in the event of changes. FOX 11 will continue to make calls over the course of Monday night to hear from other major airlines serving LAX travelers.

'We are going to find you': 911 operator honored for role in saving man stuck in train station wall Public safety officials in Boston paused Friday to honor one of the city's 911 operators for her contributions to a recent rescue at a train station. Moneeka Colston answered the call on Apr. 9, from a man who had inadvertently fallen into a void in a wall at the Back Bay Station. He was unable to free himself or share specific information about his location. "He initially just told me that he fell. He didn't know how he got there. He believed he had been there 24 hours," she said. Colston, who has 19 years of experience on the job, had to piece together a life-or-death puzzle. Technology helped to narrow the search and Colston got additional helpful details over the phone. "He said he could hear the highway, which I used as a focal point for the officers. He told me that he saw a mural with graffiti on it," she said. Colston also recognized that she had to keep the caller on the line. He was using an old phone with no service. It could call 911 but there was no way to call him back. "He said to me, 'Ma'am, they're not going to find me.' And I said, 'We are going to find you,'" Colston said. She stayed on the line with the man until officers made contact. "During the call, (Colston) remained on the line with the victim for well over an hour until such time that he was located following a large response and subsequent search," police said. The typical 911 call lasts about 1 minute. This call lasted for approximately 90 minutes. Once the man was found, members of the Boston Fire Department extricated him from the wall using sledgehammers and other tools. Boston EMS took him to a hospital for treatment of serious injuries. "There is no doubt that the victim is alive today because of Moneeka’s commitment, dedication and tenacity while utilizing her own creative thinking and Phase II Mapping capabilities to make this rescue a success," the department wrote. "Most importantly, she was able to provide a voice of comfort and a lifeline of support to this male victim for a long duration until his rescuers could finally reach him and bring him to safety." Officials are still investigating how the man fell between the walls in the first place. He suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. This week is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week.

HOUSTON, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its longstanding commitment to global health, Texas Children's Hospital announced today a strategic regional and international initiative to address the humanitarian and medical needs of the people of Ukraine. The nation's largest children's hospital will host a community donation drive Monday, April 18 through Saturday, April 23. Texas Children's volunteers and staff will collect much-needed hygiene items for children and women for overseas delivery to Ukrainian refugees in neighboring Romania. Texas Children's Hospital will send these coveted care packages with decorated cards and letters, hand-crafted by its patients and families to Ukrainian refugee families. Houston and Austin communities are encouraged to visit www.texaschildrens.org/Ukraine where they can view a list of high-demand items they can purchase new, in the original packaging and drop off at our drive locations. Houstonians who are interested in contributing to Texas Children's Hospital's Ukraine Donation Drive can drop off items through the hospital's convenient drive-thru donation events. Volunteers and employees will collect donations from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, April 18 to Saturday, April 23 at: - Texas Children's Hospital Texas Medical Center (Feigin Center Circle Drive, 1102 Bates Avenue, Houston) - Texas Children's Hospital West Campus (Outpatient Entrance, 18200 Katy Freeway, Houston) - Texas Children's Hospital The Woodlands (private drive between the courtyard and parking garage) In Houston, Austin and College Station, drop-boxes will be set up at Texas Children's Pediatrics and Urgent Care locations beginning April 18. All Texas Children's Pediatric and Urgent Care patients are welcome to bring their donation items with them to their appointments. From duct tape, ink pens, bar soap, diapers and hand wipes to other essential toiletries, all donated items will be prepared and packaged at Houston-based Medical Bridges, a non-profit that aims to bridge the healthcare gap worldwide by distributing medical equipment and supplies to communities in need across the globe, and shipped directly to Ukrainians in need via Crane Worldwide Logistics. For those who prefer to make a monetary donation to support Ukrainian refugees, Texas Children's has created a donation site at www.texaschildrens.org/ukrainedonations "The core mission of Texas Children's Hospital is to create a healthier future for children and women throughout our global community which is our great privilege and responsibility," said Mark A. Wallace, President and CEO of Texas Children's Hospital. "We are proud to run toward the crisis in Ukraine with the life-sustaining health care and support fleeing refugee families need most. Whether through the donation of essential supplies or the provision of world-class medical care, Texas Children's global impact greatly surpasses the boundaries of its name." In addition to the community donation drive, Texas Children's Hospital will utilize its robust Texas Children's Global Health Network to provide critical medical care to women and children fleeing war-torn Ukraine in Romania and collaborate with local institutions in Poland to address unmet specialized medical needs there. In Romania, two OB/GYN physicians will provide lifesaving care to patients who have been forced from their homes at Texas Children's Hospital's Center of Excellence at the Baylor Black Sea Foundation Clinic — the Romanian headquarters at Texas Children's Hospital in Constanța. Similarly, Texas Children's Hospital has enlisted a pediatrician who is treating patients in a county hospital in Tulcea, Romania. As part of this care, physicians will be utilizing a portable ultrasound device generously donated by Butterfly iQ+ Ultrasound System, the world's first handheld, smart phone –compatible and complete ultrasound system. In Poland, Dr. Michael Belfort, OBGYN-In-Chief at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine, is spearheading Texas Children's Hospital's refugee care in Warsaw and Krakow, where he is collaborating with local physicians to enhance care to children and pregnant women with specific needs for sophisticated medical care in which Texas Children's Hospital specializes. Dr. Belfort also recently travelled to Rzeszów to deliver much-needed surgical equipment including specialized pediatric surgery suture material and surgical instruments to Prof. Artur Mazur and Dr. Piotr Bernat at the University of Rzeszów. This equipment and suture material was donated by Texas Children's Hospital at the request of pediatric surgeons in Ukraine who are struggling to keep up with the workload in besieged cities. "Our commitment to the health and wellbeing of women and children at Texas Children's Hospital goes far beyond our presence in the Texas Medical Center," said Dr. Belfort. "By bringing the resources and expertise of our world-renowned Maternal Fetal Medicine and Fetal Center teams at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women to the families of Ukraine, we are improving health outcomes for women and children who have had to flee their homes in search of safety." U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul lauded Texas Children's Hospital's global efforts to aid Ukrainian refugees. He said, "I strongly support the incredible work of Texas Children's Hospital in Poland and Romania to bring lifesaving medical care to the Ukrainians fleeing Putin's brutal full-scale invasion. The U.S. is standing side by side with the Ukrainian people, and I am proud the Texas community is stepping up to join this monumental effort." "We have been a primary pediatric healthcare partner in the Constanta and Tulcea regions of Romania for two decades, and our physicians in Romania will treat pregnant people and sick kids regardless of nationality," said Michael Mizwa, Director of Global Health at Texas Children's Hospital. "We're all about access to care regardless of boundaries, and we want to address health inequities that are under the spotlight as a result of this war." In a continued show of Ukrainian support and solidarity, Texas Children's Hospital's three campuses are currently illuminated with the Ukrainian colors of blue and gold. About Texas Children's Hospital Texas Children's Hospital, a not-for-profit health care organization, is committed to creating a healthier future for children and women throughout the global community by leading in patient care, education and research.

DC Mayor's violent crime plan aims to help hundreds 'at risk of gun violence' WASHINGTON - In an effort to address the spike in violent crime, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser introduced a new program Monday to steer around 200 people deemed "at risk of being involved with gun violence," away from that path. The Mayor's new program is called "People of Promise Initiative." It is supposed to target around 200 "at-risk" residents identified by the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (NICJR). The plan is to connect those individuals with either someone from the city’s Department of Youth Services, Department of Parks and Recreation, or the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement. That "team" would then be assigned to a member of the Mayor’s cabinet. The goal is to make sure those individuals get the support they need, so they can break the cycle and not turn to gun violence. David Muhammad with the NICJR told FOX 5 these individuals were actually part of an assessment done regarding D.C.'s gun violence and homicides. It’s the study the Mayor and the D.C. Police Chief have referenced to strengthen their argument that violent crime in the District is committed by a small group of individuals. SUBSCRIBE TO FOX 5 DC ON YOUTUBE Muhammad told FOX 5 the report involved community members between the ages of 18 and 35, with the average age being 28-years-old. Muhammad said researchers analyzed "every single homicide over a two-year period and every individual non-fatal injury shooting incident over the course of a year." It also included interviews with detectives assigned to the cases. FOX 5 was told the review started with around 325 people, and ultimately was narrowed down to around 200 people. At the time of their selection, we’re told none of the individuals had been convicted of a homicide. The Mayor's announcement took place at "His and Hers" restaurant on Rhode Island Avenue NE. The owner of the business, Paul Weinstock, told FOX 5 he served around 23 years in prison for selling crack cocaine. Weinstock said he was able to open his restaurant after participating in a few other programs to help those re-entering in society. But not everyone in the city takes advantage of the government programs like Weinstock did. "I’m not going to say there’s a disconnect. I think we have to want it as individuals first. And we have to accept that we want change," Weinstock said. "A lot of times we're worried about our so-called friends." Total crime is up 28% in the District from this time last year, according to the D.C. Police website. FOX 5 asked the mayor, among other questions, whether she feels she and other District officials have a handle on the crime in D.C. Download the FOX 5 DC News App for Local Breaking News and Weather In part of her response, Mayor Bowser told FOX 5, "What people are really frustrated by is when MPD goes out, does the hard work, makes the arrest and there’s no accountability. And we know young people have to be held accountable just like any person – less that behavior persists. So there’s a lot. But we also need communities working double-time…" The Mayor went on to discuss a program the city’s parks department runs to engage youth as D.C. continues to deal with more youth involved in violent crime. Last week, three juveniles were among seven people arrested in connection with a crime spree that police say also included a double shooting, armed robbery and the taking of two dogs at gunpoint – one of those dogs is still missing. There was outrage online after FOX 5 learned the U.S. Attorney’s Office decided not to prosecute the four adults charged with "receiving stolen property." The Attorney General’s Office, which prosecutes juvenile crime, could not confirm whether any of the juveniles were released due to District child-privacy laws. Police also charged at least one of the juveniles, a 15-year-old from Maryland with three additional armed carjacking charges. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser also doubled down on her call to hire more officers. Last month, D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee told the city council due to staffing shortages and the increase in crime, response time on priority calls has increased up to 90 seconds. The Mayor also called on the D.C. Council to support funding for approximately 20 "Life Coach" positions to "provide intensive and high-quality care coordination services." Advertisement "We know that a relatively small number of people are responsible for a significant amount of the gun violence happening in our communities. What we are doing is reaching out to those people, listening to them and figuring out what they need, and then working with them to get them on a better, safer path forward," Mayor Bowser said. "We also know that no one person or agency can do this work alone. We need community members like Paul, who have these lived experiences and who know how to create better and safer opportunities, working with us. We also need to make sure every resource and all of our programs are being used effectively to help the people who need them most – and that’s what the People of Promise initiative will help us do," wrote Mayor Bowser in a press release.

HOUSTON — Houston veteran Robert O'Brien has a bucket list he's determined to conquer. His journey began after he got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and doctors told him he didn't have much time left. One thing on his bucket list was to attend an Astros game, and Monday night, he did just that. “Oh, I saw a game about 10 years ago and I haven’t been able to come back,” O'Brien said. O'Brien has been a fan his entire life. “It’s like they play almost every day. It’s great," he said. O'Brien has been through a lot of hardships in life, so cherishing the good times are super important. After serving in the Navy for two tours of duty in a decade, O'Brien then spent 15 years living on Houston sidewalks. It wasn't until late last year when Star of Hope was able to get him off the streets and into an apartment. “He was sitting in his tent and under an overpass," Star of Hope Outreach Case Manager Ray Walker said. But just as his life had been transformed, he received some news that shook his world. “Got me to the hospital ... that’s when I found out I had cancer and that changed everything," O'Brien said. He was given a terminal diagnosis. He has stage 4 lung cancer and was told he had less than a year to live. “It gets me a little depressed … and I don’t do depressed," O'Brien said. So, he's living out his bucket list, completing one task at a time. “We owe it to him. He served our country. He’s having some tough times," Astros Foundation Executive Director Paula Harris said. Harris not only helped O'Brien get to the game, but she even gifted him with his favorite player's jersey. O'Brien attended the home opener and hoped for an autograph from his favorite player. “Altuve!” he said laughing. “It’s going to be great. Go Astros!” O'Brien celebrated his 62nd birthday on April 17.

Face masks now optional on Alaska Airlines, other airlines effective immediately WASHINGTON - A federal judge in Florida struck down the national mask mandate covering airlines and other public transportation Monday, and the Biden administration said the rule would not be enforced while federal agencies decide how to respond to the judge’s order. The White House said the court ruling means that for now the mask order "is not in effect at this time." The CDC had recently extended the mask mandate, which was set to expire Monday, until May 3 to allow more time to study the BA.2 omicron subvariant of the coronavirus that is now responsible for the vast majority of cases in the U.S. According to the White House, the Transportation Security Administration will not enforce the mask mandate in light of the recent ruling. "The agencies are reviewing the decision and assessing potential next steps. In the meantime, today’s court decision means CDC’s public transportation masking order is not in effect at this time," a White House administration official told FOX Television Stations in a statement. "Therefore, TSA will not enforce its Security Directives and Emergency Amendment requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs at this time. CDC recommends that people continue to wear masks in indoor public transportation settings." Face masks are now optional on all Alaska Airlines flights after a federal judge in Florida voided the national mask mandate covering airlines and other public transportation. The option for wearing masks on Alaska flights goes into effect immediately, starting today. "While we are glad this means many of us get to see your smiling faces, we understand some might have mixed feelings. Please remember to be kind to one another and that wearing a mask while traveling is still an option," Alaska Airlines wrote on its website. The airline said that some guests who were banned over the last two years for noncompliance and/or violence against fellow passengers or flight attendants could still be banned, even as the mandates onboard are lifted. In addition to Alaska Airlines, American, Delta, Southwest and United Airlines will also be making masks option for passengers. This is a developing story. Additional mandate lifts will be added as they are announced.

Infowars files for bankruptcy protection as website's founder Alex Jones faces defamation lawsuits Alex Jones' company Infowars has filed for bankruptcy protection after the conspiracy theorist lost defamation lawsuits over his comments that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was a hoax. Jones filed for Chapter 11 protection in Texas and told his listeners Monday he was “totally maxed out” financially. He urged his audience to contribute money or buy products off his Infowars website. Attorneys for Sandy Hook families have accused Jones of trying to hide millions of dollars in assets as juries later this year are set to determine how much he should pay in damages. Here's what to know: What does Alex Jones claim? Infowars told the bankruptcy court it had estimated assets of $50,000 or less and estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million. Creditors listed in the filing include relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut. Two other companies with ties to Jones, Prison Planet TV and IW Health, also filed for bankruptcy. An attorney for did not return messages seeking comment but Jones has addressed the bankruptcy in recent days on his show. He has been banned from major social media platforms for hate speech and abusive behavior. “We have less than $3 million cash and we need that money to buy future product to be able to operate,” Jones said. What is Jones facing? Jury selection had been set to begin next week in Austin in a trial to determine how much Jones should pay the families of Sandy Hook victims. He faces similar trials in Connecticut later this year. The plaintiffs in those cases have said they were subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because he promoted the hoax conspiracy that crisis actors faked the shooting in an effort by the federal government to take away guns and restrict firearms. Jones has since conceded that the shooting did happen. “Alex Jones is just delaying the inevitable: a public trial in which he will be held accountable for his profit-driven campaign of lies against the Sandy Hook families who have brought this lawsuit,” said Christopher Mattei, who represents the families in a Connecticut lawsuit against Jones. Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son, Jesse Lewis, died in the Newtown school shooting, said he did not immediately know how the bankruptcy would affect his defamation lawsuit against Jones in Texas. “It is what it is,” Heslin said. “We’ll see where it all goes. He’s tried everything to avoid everything.” What are Jones' finances? A separate lawsuit earlier this month accused Jones of hiding millions of dollars in assets. An attorney for Jones has called the allegation “ridiculous.” Last month, Jones was fined $75,000 for failing to appear for a deposition in a defamation case but a judge last week ordered the return of the money because Jones eventually showed up. The bankruptcy court filings claim that Jones has paid $10 million in legal fees. He claimed in court records last year that he had a negative net worth of $20 million, but attorneys for Sandy Hook families have painted a different financial picture. Court records show that Jones' Infowars store, which sells nutritional supplements and survival gear, made more than $165 million between 2015 and 2018. “He’s going to come under far more scrutiny under a bankruptcy court than in state court,” said Sid Scheinberg, a bankruptcy attorney with Godwin Bowman in Dallas, which is not involved in the Jones case. What affect will this have on the Sandy Hook cases? Filing for Chapter 11 puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances. It is not the first time a bankruptcy filing has affected a lawsuit filed by the Sandy Hook families. While suing gun maker Remington, which manufactured the AR-15-style rifle used in the school shooting, the company filed for bankruptcy twice. In the second case filed in 2020, Remington’s assets were eventually sold off to other companies. The 2020 bankruptcy delayed proceedings for a year in the Connecticut lawsuit, which sought damages against Remington for how it marketed its rifles. In February, the families of nine victims of the school shooting announced they had agreed to settle the case for $73 million.

Former Maryland mayor sentenced in revenge porn case ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A former Maryland mayor who admitted to posting nude photos of his ex-girlfriend on Reddit will not have to spend time behind bars under a plea deal announced by the state prosecutor’s office on Monday. Former Cambridge Mayor Andrew Bradshaw pleaded guilty to five counts of distributing revenge porn online and was sentenced to a year and a day for each of the five counts, with all of the incarceration time suspended. He also was sentenced to three years of supervised probation and fined $1,000 for each count. RELATED: Maryland mayor charged with 50 counts of revenge porn Bradshaw also was ordered to pay $750 in restitution to the victim and to perform 100 hours of community service. The former mayor had faced a maximum penalty of two years’ incarceration and a $5,000 fine for each count. Bradshaw pleaded guilty to posting nude photos of a woman he was once in a relationship with after the relationship had ended. Download the FOX 5 DC News App for Local Breaking News and Weather The woman contacted authorities in May after learning that the photos were posted on Reddit. She told authorities that she had sent the photos only to Bradshaw while they were in an intimate relationship, and she didn’t give him permission to redistribute them. Investigators discovered that Bradshaw had made numerous separate public posts that contained at least 10 unique visual representations of the victim, and that numerous posts contained language that was related to humiliation and degradation, the state prosecutor’s office said. When interviewed, Bradshaw admitted to law enforcement agents that he created the accounts and posted the victim’s nude photographs, authorities said. Bradshaw resigned his position as mayor in January. SUBSCRIBE TO FOX 5 DC ON YOUTUBE "Anyone who abuses the trust and confidence of another to degrade and humiliate them, particularly through the use of a forum as powerful and pervasive as the Internet, must be held accountable. Such actions are especially egregious when committed by an individual holding a public leadership role of power and authority," said State Prosecutor Charlton T. Howard, III. Advertisement Maryland law prohibits the nonconsensual distribution of a private visual representation of another which exposes their intimate body parts or displays them engaged in sexual activity, with the intent to harm, harass, intimidate, threaten or coerce the person depicted.
