An Israeli drone strike on a car on the main road in Jezzine on Saturday killed two journalists, Ali Choeib of al-Manar and Fatima Ftouni of al-Mayadeen. Ftouni’s brother, a videographer, as well as a relative of Choeib, were also killed in the strike, according to our correspondent in southern Lebanon.

It was the first time Israeli forces had targeted this road since the start of the war on March 2.

The army, which provided no evidence, said he had “operated for years under the cover of a journalist within al-Manar and systematically disclosed the positions of Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon and along the border, while maintaining contact with other Hezbollah members, including within the Radwan force.”

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned what he described as a “blatant crime.”

Like I figured at least it would be something about how to get good quality mattresses or something. All I see is random pictures of beds. This isn't evsn funny

• The 59-second 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, seen by billions of people over the decades, is often cited by proponents as proof that the giant, hairy creature exists
• A new documentary — Capturing Bigfoot — uses recently unearthed footage to prove that the 1967 film was an “incredible hoax,” says director Marq Evans

....

"After her father’s death,” says Evans, 43, “she’d found a canister of 16mm film that had been sealed away for over half a century. She needed help getting it developed and wondered if I might be interested in doing something with it.”

....

Not long after receiving Brooks’ email, Evans had the 16mm film developed and days later found himself looking at a 40-second clip set in a location similar to the one in the 1967 movie, showing what appeared to be a slightly skinnier-looking Bigfoot walking into the woods.

“It took me maybe nine months to realize what we really had,” says Evans, who was able to determine, by markings on the film, that the footage had been shot in 1966, roughly a year before the now-famous clip in the 59-second Bigfoot movie was allegedly shot. “What we eventually found out is that [this new footage] represented a trial run, a rehearsal that was never discarded.”

Realizing he had physical evidence that finally put to rest the question of whether Patterson’s creation was a hoax, Evans knew he had the makings for an explosive documentary. He quickly went to work, he says, “connecting the dots” behind the making of the 1967 film and interviewing the cast of characters in Patterson’s hometown of Yakima, Wash., who were involved with its creation, including 80-something-year-old Bob Heironimus, who confessed to being the individual wearing the fake Bigfoot suit in the film.

Heyho,

as I will soon move into my first "own" apartment (have lived in shared apartments so far), I would like to set up some smart home devices. Primarily lights, but I am open to other ideas.

Looking into the topic I noticed that basically all cloudless setups need a server - often they use a Raspberry Pie, a low energy protocol - like Zigbee or Thread, and a managing software like Home Assistant or openHAB.

Currently, I think about using the Raspberry Pie 5 (should also be helpful for other projects such as Immich) together with some kind of USB to connect to the Thread network (guess there is something similar like conbee2 for Zigbee) and openHAB as the software for greater customization. While openHAB is probably overkill, as a computer scientist I think I might enjoy the greater customization options.

So my question: Are there any good tutorials for this setup? While I knew of Zigbee before this project, I wasn't aware of Thread and am just looking into it. I don't feel comfortable yet to double down on it without learning more on possible ways to connect Thread to openHAB on a Raspberry Pie.

Thanks in advance!

Companies who employ more women in senior roles are much more likely to dismiss men accused of sexually or physically abusing their colleagues, according to analysis of international and UK data.

Men were more likely to get sacked for abusing a male colleague rather than a female colleague, according to a recent Finnish study, cited in research about the economic impact of violence against women and girls gathered by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS).

It found that in female-managed organisations (those with a higher than average number of women in high-earning positions) were “significantly more likely to dismiss perpetrators”, while male-managed ones were more likely to see the victim of abuse leave the company.

The IFS cited studies that found women who are sexually or physically assaulted at work experience a major hit to their careers, “including job loss, reduced hours and lower income”. One study found that women who move in with an abusive partner see their earnings drop by an average of 12%. “These losses persist even after the relationship ends, indicating long-term damage to labour market attachment and career progression,” said the IFS.

Two boats filled with humanitarian supplies travelling from Mexico to Cuba have been located days after contact with them was lost in the Caribbean, organisers say.

The boats were located by the Mexican Navy and the crews are safe, a spokesman for the Nuestra America Convoy said.

He did not explain why the two boats - the Friendship and Tiger Moth - had disappeared.

They are among several vessels that have sought to carry supplies to the island nation since the US imposed an oil blockade in January, prompting a chronic fuel shortage.

The Mexican Navy has not commented on how it located the boats, which departed Isla Mujeres, in Mexico's easternmost state of Quintana Roo, on 20 March, and had been due to arrive at their destination on Monday or Tuesday.
