who posted a clip flying through the legs of snowboarder Tom Tramnitz back in February of 2025.Schieren admits that he crashed into Tramnitz "a lot" before they nailed the shot and that it was his hardest drone shot ever Tap or click the video below to watch Schieren's clip that inspired Hoffmann and Ragettli The first commercial drones entered the snowsports scene over a decade ago, but they were bulky, heavy, and very expensive. In 2025, drones are light, maneuverable, fairly cheap, and capture footage in stunning 4K HD.Many ski film companies have replaced helicopters with drones to capture aerial POVs and small film studios across the country are able to deploy one easily to get the shot.It's undeniable that drones have changed how we're able to view skiing and the Freeride World Tour use them for the majority of their broadcasts.This rapid adoption of drone technology may have been expected but I would be surprised if anybody predicted that drones could one day fly between a skier or snowboard's arms and legs but at least we have skiers willing to risk limbs for a drone pilot to create a perfect clip WASHINGTON (ABC7) — Authorities say they are searching for a critically missing 11-year-old D.C Police sayGeraldine Angri went missing from the1100 Block of Aspen Street Angri is described as standing 5' 6" tall and weighing 100 pounds with brown eyes and black hair in cornrows Police say she was last seen wearing blue jeans Anyone with information onAngri isasked to call police at either the Youth and Family Services Division at 202-576-6768 or the Command Information Center at 202-727-9099 Jon Jackson is a News Editor at Newsweek based in New York His focus is on reporting on the Ukraine and Russia war He graduated Summa Cum Laude with honors in journalism and mass communication from New York University either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content The Wagner Group and the Russian military have been using a tactic referred to a "meat waves" to expose the position of Ukrainian forces according to a Ukrainian military official a journalist/activist and a member of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) described the strategy in an interview published Wednesday in the Kyiv Post "They [Russian forces] push prisoners forward and try to deplete our defense forces so that we run out of ammunition and they can see our firing positions," Tregubov said The Wagner Group is a shadowy organization composed of mercenaries, and its leader—Yevgeny Prigozhin—has been described as being a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin However, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported Putin has been distancing himself from Wagner because of its clashes with his professional military leaders and government officials a video emerged that allegedly showed Prigozhin recruiting soldiers from Russia's penitentiary system and Russian human rights activist Vladimir Osechkin recently told Newsweek that as many as 30,000 prisoners have been recruited from Russian jails and sent to fight in Ukraine where the war began 11 months ago when Russia invaded Tregubov said the "meat waves" tactic was being used by the Wagner Group in Bakhmut a town in Ukraine's Donetsk region where Russia has recently claimed battlefield success He said that the formal Russian military uses the same strategy they mobilize people from Ukrainian territories that Russia has illegitimately claimed as part of its nation when these mobilized troops are "killed on the battlefield the Russians see where the shelling is coming from and can The captain speculated one reason for the use of this tactic is that Russia could be running low on munitions "Instead of 'artillery waves,' they are launching 'meat waves,'" Tregubov said "When there is no need to bring ammunition from far away so the tactic of 'meat waves' on this part of the frontline is justified." Elsewhere in the interview conducted by the Kyiv Post's Aleksandra Klitina Tregubov was asked why Putin continues waging the war when "Russia has obviously lost in terms of its global strategic plan." "The Russian leadership can't capitulate because this would severely undermine their power position in Russia so they don't want to give up," Tregubov answered Newsweek reached out to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for comment Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and finding connections in the search for common ground Newsletters in your inbox See all Fordham students earned 154 national and international awards including a Cambridge Overseas Trust Scholarship and Fordham’s first Lilly Graduate Fellowship in Humanities and the Arts is the recipient of a Cambridge Overseas Trust Scholarship to attend the University of Cambridge who was a Truman Scholarship finalist in 2011 will have the opportunity to obtain an M.Phil in politics through the rigorous 10-month program Meyer is passionate about civic engagement;

The founder's trust in God made possible the growth of the ministry as well as that of the young community of Sisters who dedicated themselves to the task the Congregation numbers are close to 900 Sisters and they are present in 17 countries The Sisters continue to meet the needs of the times in new ways but especially through education and caring for the elderly Fusco had lived a model life of heroic virtue he was proclaimed venerable by Pope Paul VI To be canonized a saint at least two miracles must be performed - usually of healing They must be recognized as having been performed through the saint's intercession after his or her death the first miracle can be traced to the overnight healing of a 6-year-old African boy Sister was diagnosed with a massive hemorrhage of two brain aneurysms and she wasn't expected to survive Both recipients of the founder's healing were at the canonization ceremonies The formal process for the investigation of a miracle commenced in 1999 and closed not long after The medical testimonies and documentation were compelling and submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints Pope John Paul II granted papal approval to the miracles in 2000 Alfonso Fusco has promised always to pray for and be present to those who ask for his healing Many graces and blessings have been received through his intercession About 50 Sisters and others traveled from here to Rome and then made the trip to the founder's home town of Angri where a celebration of thanksgiving will took place in his honor A celebration in America will be slated at Blessed Sacrament R.C By 2013-03-11T12:00:56+00:00 Authorities in Germany have alerted the public to the suspected contamination of a single consignment of Italian Romaine lettuce after reportedly discovering blue rat poison pellets in a shipment to sold via Frankfurt in the country's Rhine-Main area the lettuce was from a bundle of 110 boxes – each containing 12 heads of lettuce – believed to have been sent by Ortofrutticola La Trasparenza in the southern Italian region of Campania The pellets were apparently found by a German wholesaler called özdemir Obst & Gemüse Großhandel based in Frankfurt Wholesale Market who it is understood immediately withdrew the remaining unsold products from sale although 105 boxes are believed to have been destroyed five were unaccounted for having been sold on to street market traders in the region – one of them at the Istanbul Market in Offenbach Germany's health ministry subsequently advised officials in both Campania and the northern Italian region of Veneto – via which the consignment was reportedly transported – to take preventative action 'We cannot rule out the possibility that the contamination occurred in the German wholesaler's warehouse,' the ministry said in a statement 'The detection was made as a result of self-checking and not as a result of an official check by the German authorities.' told Italian news agency Ansa the lettuce was not packaged and insisted he did not use rat poison 'How can the Germans make these accusations?' he asked There are intermediaries who take the goods to individual markets The case is not the first time the town of Angri has made it into the news for the wrong reasons a key supplier to retailers including UK-based Asda where they found tomato purée that had been imported from China and allegedly labelled as 'produced in Italy' According to a report published by British newspaper The Guardian the laws on country of origin labelling had apparently been circumvented by adding water and salt prior to packaging the product Site powered by Webvision Cloud Home » Sant’Agnello Before getting to Sorrento, another country awaits us for a warm welcome: we are talking about Sant’Agnello! We can describe its history as recent enough if we take into account the year it obtained the autonomy from Sorrento, in 1866. Yet, the farmhouses around here have centuries-old history and only due to the wilfulness of the inhabitants of these ancient villages, Sant’Agnello gained its independence at the time. History of the struggle for independence is well described by the composition of the municipal coat of arms: five towers representing the five districts that compose the town: Angri, Tordara-Trasaella, Cappuccini, Maiano and Colli di Fontanelle. The motto that accompanies the coat of arms, “Post Nubila Phoebus” (After the clouds, the Sun) wisely indicates the patriotic spirit and the struggle for independence of the Santanellese (that’s the name of this people) during the pre-unification times in Italy. In the entire peninsula, this town is the only one bearing the name of its patron saint, Sant’Agnello from Napoli, which is celebrated on December 14th. In this regard, we are pleased to quote a popular saying related to this occasion: “In Sant’Aniello, nu passo ‘e pecuriello” (In Sant’Agnello, a step of lamb), indicating the slow and progressive lengthening of the hours of light during the day. Today we know that the solstice is conventionally set for December 21. Yet, this ancient peasant saying testifies the need, at the time, to mark the phases of the year and it is evidence for a time that precedes the Gregorian calendar revolution, occurred in the last quarter of the sixteenth century. Sant’Agnello certainly is a perfect compromise for those who want to have a relaxing and peaceful stay without giving up the convenience of having Sorrento just a few minutes away by car or, why not, a walk on foot. During the summer, it offers the opportunity of enjoying relaxing baths by the sea and taking part in events and festivals where you can taste typical local products. The tranquillity of the upper area of ​​Sant’Agnello allows the visitor to admire the surrounding nature characterized by the typical Sorrento vegetable gardens and walks on foot in the heart of the Angri district – the ancient historic centre – is an indispensable experience for the eyes and mind. It is a unique sensation to walk in the labyrinth of narrow streets in the district and, raising your nose up high, admire the tuff and piperno portals of the ancient buildings, giving the visitors the impression of a magically crystallized time. And, keeping on that way,  how wonderful to see the horizon and then be able to look out onto the splendid terrace overlooking the sea, known as the Terrazza della Marinella.  How wonderful to admire the tophaceous coast all around with ecstatic eyes and, in front, the Vesuvius.

A replica of the full flag will soon be on display in Ballarat. Verica Jokic asks what we know about the women who supposedly stitched the flag in one day under the cover of darkness. A replica of the Eureka Flag will soon be unfurled to flap in the Ballarat wind. The flag has been stitched as part of the 160th anniversary commemorations of the Eureka Stockade. On 29 November, 1854, gold miners saw the enormous flag for the first time at Bakery Hill. It served as a call for men to gather, and they began to protest and burn their miner's licenses. Fifteen thousand people, half the population of Ballarat, turned up. Four days later, the flag was moved to the centre of a hastily built stockade at the Eureka diggings, where miners had gathered for a confrontation with government troops and police. Within 20 minutes the battle was over, 27 men were dead, and the flag was torn down and attacked. Crucially, though, it wasn't destroyed. I do imagine they were working at night under candlelight and the cover of protection the night afforded. There were certainly government spies who were going through the camp. Several days earlier, a group of women whose husbands were working in the goldfields had begun to stitch the flag. It measured four metres by 2.6 metres and was made of bolts of woollen fabric. Author and historian Clare Wright says while it's commonly believed that three women worked on the flag—Anastasia Hayes, Anastasia Withers, and Anne Duke—she believes there was at least one more, Eliza D'Arcy. She also doubts the commonly held belief that the flag was stitched in just one day. Ms Wright says that after 10 years of research, she's convinced work on the flag began on 24 November, 1854, when miners were first notified of the 29 November protest. 'I think that it is likely that it was stitched within that five day period,' she says. 'But I suspect that there were probably more women as well who were part of the Ballarat community, who were part of the protest movement and their hands would have been needed to stitch such a large flag in a short period of time.' 'Now, it was such a large flag and the women who were involved, if you just take the three women ... between them they had nine children and two pregnancies, and so they were busy women.' The rebel flag was stitched under the cover of darkness so as not to raise suspicion. 'I do imagine they were working at night under candlelight and the cover of protection the night afforded. There were certainly government spies who were going through the camp and it would have been noted if somebody had have seen this very large and non-national flag,' Ms Wright says. 'My very strong theory ... is that the flag is most likely to have been sewn in the Catholic Church ... it was one of very few structures on the goldfields that would have been large enough to house such a flag, because the flag would have been laid out on the ground and I imagine the women on their knees around the flag sewing their piece of it.' Val D'Angri is the great granddaughter of Anastasia Withers, who helped sew the original flag. In 1973, Mrs D'Angri was a needlecraft teacher at a Ballarat school when the city's mayor asked her if she wanted to help stitch a flag. Mrs D'Angri agreed, not knowing what the flag was. 'Two men carried this great bundle between them out into one of the gallery spaces and they started to unravel it and I'm afraid I just went into shock. I thought, "my goodness, what have I taken on?"' 'But once it was unravelled and I saw it, I just fell in love with it. I got down on my knees to feel the fabric and thought, "isn't it beautiful?"' Mrs D'Angri says. She spent an entire school holiday fortnight working on the flag from 9 am to 11 pm, alone in the Art Gallery of Ballarat. 'My husband Norm did me a tape and on it we had songs of the 1850s, the things that were being sung at the time and I happily stitched it. I really thought I was there back in the goldfields.' While working on the conservation project, Mrs D'Angri felt a pin prick. When she turned the flag over to see what it was, she found a pin used in the original stitching of the flag hidden in a seam. Ms Wright says the pin helped to establish that the flag was made by women. Pins of that type formed a typical part of mid-19th century women's sewing kits. The pin's discovery also helped debunk an alternative theory: that the flag was made at a tent-making company by men. It wasn't until after Mrs D'Angri finished working on the flag that she learned she was a descendant of Anastasia Withers. 'I got goosebumps when my aunt told me.' However, Ms D'Angri says she's glad she didn't know she was related to Anastasia Withers while she was working on the flag, otherwise she would have spent much of her time admiring the stitching. About 60 per cent of the flag has been conserved and is now held on permanent display at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (MADE) in Ballarat. As part of the 160th celebrations, which will take place on 3 December, MADE has organised the recreation of the stitching of the flag. MADE invited members of the public, along with needlecraft experts from the Embroiders Guild of Ballarat and the Ballarat Quilters, to take part. 'We've already worked out that we've done 75 per cent of the flag, and we're just getting to the very difficult time-consuming parts of the stars, and it's already taken three people about 45 hours,' says Jane Smith, the director of MADE. According to Ms Smith, the original Eureka flag has had a sorry history. 'It was up the flagpole for five days and then it got tattered in the battle and torn down by Trooper King, who kept it in his family for a period of time ... it was an era when souveniring was still quite common so about 40 per cent of the flag was given away,' she says. 'So when MADE opened, we've been doing a program of finding different parts of the flag and showing them at MADE next to the original.' The National Library of Australia is loaning a piece of the flag it's had for decades, which measures five centimetres by two centimetres, to MADE for the 160th celebrations.

A film is also being made of the process.  The project is being supported by the Ballarat City Council and the state government.  Western Victoria MP Simon Ramsay said the flag was a symbol of a “nation growing The new flag will be completed by December 3 to mark the 160th anniversary of the Eureka Stockade Stitching sessions will be held from 11am to 3pm on Saturday There will also be sessions from 11am to 3pm at the Mining Exchange at the Rug Up Winter Festival on July 12 and 13 Today's top stories curated by our news team Grab a quick bite of today's latest news from around the region and the nation Catch up on the news of the day and unwind with great reading for your evening Get the editor's insights: what's happening & why it matters tips & travel writing to transport you around the globe Your weekday morning newsletter on national affairs Your essential national news digest: all the big issues on Wednesday and great reading every Saturday Let the ACM network's editors and journalists bring you news and views from all over reviews and expert insights every Thursday from CarExpert Your digital replica of Today's Paper Test your skills with interactive crosswords 14 and 15 December 2019 Will be held at Pozzuoli a Medieval festival the Old Town of the town will be crossed by the passage of knights to revive the typical medieval atmospheres there will be many organisers' activities which are planned to entertain the large audience expected for the occasion A real one will be rebuilt medieval style set where they will also be scheduled merchants and artisans che will show their arts A will also be set up field of war and archers to relive the typical military days of the time Also present during the event are reproductions regarding the inquisitorial courts There is also a space where you can enjoy the food and wine products and appreciate various handmade creations made by hand • Flight and educational demonstrations for children and adults • Traveling shows by medieval street artists with waders This initiative was born from a project ofass Arts Crafts Traditions and Folklore under the patronage of City of Pozzuoli and the collaboration ofass with the intention of paying homage to the city of Pozzuoli we earn a commission from qualifying purchases through ticketing links This commission does not entail any additional price for the user.
