A new investigation says Banksy’s true identity has finally been uncovered after years of speculation, identifying the anonymous street artist as “Robin Gunningham” of Bristol and reporting that he later used the name David Jones to avoid detection.

This is an app to save location history locally. I’d like to connect it with HomeAssistant, which it supports, but the documentation is pretty sparse. Do I need ro set up HA to receive the info? What endpoint do I enter into the Colota app?

A man and a woman were charged with murder in what the authorities described as a “targeted incident” against Masood Masjoody, who had gone missing weeks ago in British Columbia.

The operation on Friday evening was the second sea rescue of the day for Italian NGO Organisation Emergency.

Researchers attempting the cryogenic freezing and thawing of brain tissue from humans and other animals — mostly young vertebrates — have already shown that neuronal tissue can survive freezing on a cellular level and, after thawing, function to some extent. But it has not been possible to fully restore the processes necessary for proper brain functioning — neuronal firing, cell metabolism and brain plasticity.

Colombia will ask the United States to lift the sanctions that still weigh on Venezuela in order to facilitate the resumption of bilateral trade and allow companies from both countries to resume economic operations without financial restrictions.

The Israeli military said it killed the brother of Ayman Mohamad Ghazali in an airstrike in Lebanon a week before the attack on the synagogue.

“We’re not going to let the terrorists take away our confidence or the ability to embrace our religion,” said Michael Masters, SCN’s national director, during the Zoom webinar.

Hezbollah fired approximately 200 projectiles at the Jewish state as part of what it dubbed “Operation Al-‘Asf al-Ma‘kul” (“The Eaten Chaff” or “Devoured Straw”), a Quranic reference that refers to the enemy being utterly defeated or destroyed. Around 120 missiles and drones crossed into Israel, Ynet reported.

San Jose police are investigating a possible hate crime after two men said they were injured after being jumped in Santana Row because they were Jewish and speaking Hebrew.

The Lebanese state, angered by Hezbollah’s defiance, has officially banned the group’s military wing. But can the state actually stop Hezbollah from firing salvos at Israel—or, for that matter, even from aiming at the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) if challenged?

Her seven-year-old daughter, Freyja, has Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) and requires puberty blockers to treat a complication associated with the syndrome. Her endocrinologist, Dr. Hector Granados, stopped providing puberty blockers, after Attorney General Ken Paxton accused him of providing transgender care to minors, allegations that were later dismissed. Because his practice is the only pediatric endocrinology office in El Paso and it’s hard to obtain an appointment, the Jones-Radtke family is planning to move across state lines with hopes of easier access to this treatment and more care options.

The Syrian military accused Hezbollah of targeting Syrian army positions outside of Damascus.

A federal jury in Manhattan on Monday found former star real estate brokers Oren and Tal Alexander and their brother Alon guilty on all 10 counts of sex trafficking and related crimes. During a five-week trial, prosecutors said the Alexander brothers worked together to drug and rape scores of women, including minors, from at least 2008 to 2021. Eleven women testified that one or more of the brothers had sexually assaulted them, and jurors were shown a video Oren Alexander recorded of himself raping an incapacitated 17-year-old girl in 2009.

On Saturday, a far-right group organized a sparsely attended anti-Muslim demonstration outside of Gracie Mansion, the home of New York City’s first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani. A “Stand Against Hate” counterprotest attracted far more people, but perhaps the only reason Americans know about these events at all is because two men threw homemade bombs at the Islamophobic demonstrators. Authorities say the suspects told police officers they were inspired by the Islamic State, an Islamist terrorist group.
