By SHAWN COHEN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM IN SANTA FE unknown even to cemetery visitors paying their respects at nearby graves That's perhaps the way the Oscar winner and his late wife Betsy Arakawa, who is buried beside him, would have wanted it, given their decision decades ago to flee Tinseltown for ranch-life. Their reclusivity meant that their shocking deaths After autopsy investigations - showing Arakawa had died of a hantavirus infection, before Hackman succumbed to heart disease and advanced Alzheimer's a week later - they were finally buried last month in the Santa Fe Memorial Gardens with no public acknowledgement The ceremony was so secret that even some cemetery workers were kept in the dark about who was being buried. Hackman's three adult children from his first marriage attended the service but ordered management of the Memorial Gardens to keep the news out of the press Hackman left behind an $80 million fortune but had cut his children out of his will due to estrangement Arakawa was to be the sole beneficiary of his estate it is unclear whether the money will go to the children - Christopher are buried in an unmarked plot on the outskirts of Santa Fe The only thing that marked the grave was a black softcover book weighed down by two conch shells There were no flowers or notes left and a 'No Parking' post The couple is buried at Rivera Funerals & Cremations Memorial Gardens which sits across from an assisted living facility and has a distant view of the southern Rocky Mountains were seen leaving a Denny's restaurant near Burbank When the Mail visited the Memorial Gardens on Thursday staff confirmed the couple was buried there and pointed to the otherwise indistinguishable plot a three-square-foot patch of dirt alongside a stone driveway meant to hold up a chain-link fence separating the driveway from the grave had toppled onto the Hackman plot Pedestrians could traipse right over it without knowing they were stepping on Hollywood royalty only a black softcover book weighed down by two conch shells by Clarissa Pinkola Estés is a collection of folk stories featuring strong women overlooking a modest four-acre cemetery located on East Rodeo Drive four miles south of downtown Santa Fe and 10 miles from the Hackman estate Rivera Family Funerals & Cremations runs the non-denominational business Located across from an assisted living facility and featuring a distant view of the southern Rocky Mountains the memorial gardens feature none of the grandeur or wealth of Hackman and Arakawa are buried some 50 feet behind the large tree in Memorial Gardens of Santa Fe Three wind chimes hung from a small tree nearby The book that was left on the grave plot was titled Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype The ceremony for Hackman and his wife was so secret that even some of the cemetery workers were kept in the dark about who was being buried that day Hackman was suffering from Alzheimer's when he died and hadn't eaten for days Doctors say he probably did not realize his wife had died several days earlier Nor does it have the size or prominence of the Santa Fe National Cemetery the memorial gardens' most famous residents were former New Mexico governor John Miles and poet and author Winfield Townley Scott Rivera's general manager refused to discuss the Hackman burial or even acknowledge the couple's presence there There is also no mention of the Hackmans on the company's website in their listing of recent funerals and burials told the Mail that the Hackman family lifted their demand for secrecy at the end of April and they were now free to acknowledge the burials 'We are very honored to have Gene Hackman buried here at our cemetery,' the staffer said Hackman's three adult children attended the service but ordered the management to keep the news out of the press Hackman's three children are pictured with him during the 1978 premiere of Superman Rivera's general manager refused to discuss the Hackman and Arakawa burial or even acknowledge the couple's presence there Hackman in the 1971 film The French Connection Hackman and his wife fled the Hollywood scene to live a more simple reclusive life mixing with locals in Santa Fe Directing the Daily Mail to the innocuous patch of dirt the staffer wouldn't share specifics about the service or when a gravestone may be placed on the plot During the afternoon that the Mail was at the site not a single person stopped by the Hackman plot Six family members of another buried occupant gathered just a few stones away marking what would have been the 21st birthday of a 12-year-old boy who was killed in a car crash in 2016 I had no idea!' the child's grandmother Rebecca Padilla I've watched a lot of his movies – Hoosiers 'It was horrific reading about what happened to him in the papers.' it's surprising he's here because he's a well-known actor,' she said Hackman and classical pianist wife Arakawa were found dead and partially mummified in their ranch on Feb It was later revealed that Arakawa had died in their bathroom days before Hackman passed Authorities determined that Arakawa died from respiratory symptoms caused by the rare but deadly hantavirus pulmonary syndrome and that Hackman succumbed to heart disease 'You wouldn't guess that somebody of his stature would be buried here But maybe he wouldn't want something so big Maybe this is exactly what he would want.' Hackman and Arakawa were both found dead and partially mummified in their ranch on Feb The following day, Hackman's two daughters, Elizabeth and Leslie, were pictured leaving a Denny's restaurant in California They appeared to be smiling and in good spirits It was later revealed that Arakawa had died in their bathroom around Feb was also found dead in a crate near Arakawa's body having likely died of dehydration and starvation In footage obtained by the Daily Mail in March Hackman's eldest daughter Elizabeth can be heard speaking on the phone to police at the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office about what should be done with Zinna's body 'I'm thinking cremate the dog and bury it with Betsy,' Elizabeth said It is unclear if that wish has been fulfilled Authorities determined that Arakawa died from respiratory symptoms caused by the rare but deadly virus hantavirus pulmonary syndrome Hackman, who was suffering from advanced Alzheimer's disease is believed to have wandered around the couple's home alone after his wife's death and may not have ever realized she had died while Alzheimer's and kidney disease were contributing factors The comments below have not been moderated We are no longer accepting comments on this article The Mail on Sunday & Metro Media Group '#' : location.hash;window._cf_chl_opt.cOgUQuery = location.search === '' && location.href.slice(0 location.href.length - window._cf_chl_opt.cOgUHash.length).indexOf('?') !== -1 '?' : location.search;if (window.history && window.history.replaceState) {var ogU = location.pathname + window._cf_chl_opt.cOgUQuery + window._cf_chl_opt.cOgUHash;history.replaceState(null "\/liveblog_entry\/syrian-local-authorities-close-up-kabbalist-rabbis-grave-dug-up-in-damascus\/?__cf_chl_rt_tk=uXA0kKA0Sqgjk2pZSRhjViBFBZRHKTDDmEeclkGJz.Q-1746508949-1.0.1.1-uPqmpea.FqqjEpTqPpp0FQrfcMQd_nfVrNpcCdzQzCc" + window._cf_chl_opt.cOgUHash);cpo.onload = function() {history.replaceState(null ogU);}}document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(cpo);}()); Robbinsdale Police Department says multiple 911 callers shooting was reported at Sanborn Park, on the 4200 block of Drew Avenue North Officers arrived to a "very chaotic scene," with police finding a 19-year-old woman had been shot in the head with the woman taken to North Memorial Hospital with "grave injuries."

another near the town of Khojaly The graves are believed to contain the remains of civilians who went missing during the First Karabakh War Experts have unearthed bones and other fragments belonging to at least seven individuals Evidence found points to the possibility that they were tortured before their deaths The civilians were likely buried on site nearly 25 years ago contains remains

been coming to the site in recent weeks leaving flowers and asking authorities to conduct DNA testing “so they can retrieve the remains of their grandfather great-grandfather or uncle,” said Simos Daniilidis who has served as Neapolis-Sykies’ mayor since 1994 As many as 400 Yedi Kule prisoners were executed according to historians and the Greek Communist Party Items found with the bodies — a woman’s shoe a ring — offer glimpses into the lives cut short For the families of slain pro-Communist Greeks the find in the Park of National Resistance is reviving a wartime legacy kept dormant to avoid reigniting old animosities The small site has become Greece’s first Civil War mass grave to be exhumed Government forces executed 19-year-old Agapios Sachinis after he refused to sign a declaration renouncing his political beliefs “These are not simple matters,” his namesake nephew said during a recent visit to the site “It’s about carrying inside you not just courage but values and dignity you won’t compromise — not even to save your own life,” said Agapios Sachinis Sachinis was imprisoned in the 1960s for his political activity during the dictatorship Greece’s Communist Party

Civil War began in the wake of World War II it quickly lost international attention but the conflict marked a turning point: U.S President Harry Truman’s policy of anti-communist intervention — the Truman Doctrine — was presented to Congress in 1947 as a means to direct funds and military support to Greece Etched on the newly excavated bones in Thessaloniki is a playbook that went on to produce decades of repression societal divisions and more unmarked graves in Asia Governments later addressing the Cold War-era abuses and atrocities faced a painful choice: To unearth the past — as attempted with investigative commissions in Eastern Europe and many Latin American countries — or suppress it for fear of fresh division Greek emergency laws were gradually lifted and only fully abolished in 1989 Records of summary trials and executions were never made public No political force pushed for the excavation of suspected burial sites From the AP Archives: An officer reads execution orders to four condemned youths at a military installation near Athens Politicians still use highly cautious language when addressing the past and the Thessaloniki discovery was met with a subdued public

army firing squads extended into the 1950s and were publicly announced spent decades researching the executions at Yedi Kule including the indignities endured by prisoners in their final hours After a military tribunal issued a death sentence the chief guard would take the condemned prisoner to solitary confinement in tiny cells barely big enough to stand Many would use their last hours to write letters to their families the chief guard and two others would retrieve the prisoner and hand them over to the firing squad Most were loaded onto trucks to avoid attracting public attention Sometimes they were led to their death on foot Most of the victims were barely adults — youth Kouzinopoulos called “flowers of their generation.” were executed while wearing their uniforms “It shook me to the core,” Kouzinopoulos said City officials are taking steps to conduct DNA testing on the remains and urging families of the missing to submit genetic material the bodies can be identified and returned

find The remains of about 150 Roman soldiers have been discovered beneath a soccer field in the Austrian capital of Vienna indicating a fierce battle against Germanic warriors happened there in the first or second century A.D Construction workers found the remains in a mass grave beneath a sports field in the city's southern Simmering district during renovations in October 2024 The remains have now been extensively studied, and the find was announced by the city's authorities Wednesday (April 2) According to the translated statement, the individuals in the mass grave were exclusively men, some of whom were buried with distinctive armor and weapons that established that they'd been Roman soldiers Many had injuries on their bones caused by weapons like lances which indicated that their deaths were due to fighting Related: Archaeologists may have finally discovered famous 'lost' canal built by Julius Caesar's uncle Archaeologists said the discovery of the mass grave is especially

then used by the Romans as a reason to expand the fort's defenses and garrison of soldiers. Archaeologists are still analyzing the remains from the mass grave and the many artifacts found there, which include a dagger, pieces of armor and the nails from shoes. The researchers hope ancient DNA analysis and isotope analysis of the bones will reveal more about the origins and the living conditions of the soldiers buried there.

Join Microsoft researchers have published a paper in Nature that quantifies for the first time how much energy and water are consumed and greenhouse gas emissions are produced by four datacenter cooling techniques across the entire lifespan of the datacenters This so-called life cycle assessment evaluates more than just which resources are consumed during datacenter operations – it also digs into what was required to produce all the virtual machines transportation at different points in the process and even eventual disposal That’s the type of data that researchers say can help companies design datacenters to use less carbon “A lot of people do life cycle assessments after the fact,” to understand a datacenter’s environmental impact after it’s built director of systems technology in Cloud Operations and Innovation at Microsoft and leader of the lifecycle assessment study “When we’re trying to make future design decisions we typically look at total cost of ownership We’re advocating in this paper for the use of life cycle assessment tools to guide engineering decisions early on and also sharing the tool with the industry to make adoption easier.” Microsoft plans to use the findings from life cycle assessments that account for datacenters’ carbon water and energy impacts to inform new datacenter designs and cloud operations and to help meet its broader sustainability goals the study found that switching from air cooling to cold plates that cool datacenter chips more directly – a newer technology that Microsoft is deploying in its datacenters – could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy demand by roughly 15 percent and water consumption by 30 to 50 percent across the datacenters’ entire life spans This is not just water used for cooling but also in power generation and manufacturing of components This level of detail is rare and hard to uncover – in fact it took the team more than two years to complete the analysis The paper is the first to detail how to construct a life cycle assessment for cooling in cloud operations It also introduces a new approach to help others build apples-to-apples comparisons of environmental burden anyone in the industry will be able to plug in their own data and scenarios to conduct a life cycle assessment of their own operations ‘this is the right technology.’ They all could be There are different circumstances that make you use a technology,” Alissa said “What we’re trying to do here is tell the industry ‘Here’s how you build an end-to-end life cycle assessment that takes cooling into account And here is a tool for you that you can customize to your specific needs and then make a decision.” The published Nature study covers cooling chips for general compute not the specialized chips designed to handle AI workloads The team is working on a follow-up to examine life cycle impacts of AI chips and expects to see similar improvements with advanced cooling methods datacenter operations depend on external factors such as local energy grids The Nature paper also quantified how much energy water and greenhouse gas emissions could be saved by switching from a typical energy grid to 100 percent renewable sources of energy finding that greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced by 85 to 90 percent regardless of what cooling technologies were used Microsoft is aiming to replace its energy load with 100 percent renewable energy In locations where fully renewable energy isn’t available through the local grid it purchases a comparable amount of renewable energy available elsewhere the team spent more than two years studying four cooling technologies: air cooling one-phase immersion and two-phase immersion for servers Air cooling has been a standard approach for cooling datacenters but the industry has more recently been exploring cooling technologies that rely on liquids which can dissipate heat much more directly and efficiently than air Cold plates are a type of direct-to-chip cooling because a coolant is pumped in a loop to a flat container that sits right on top of the chips in a server rack One-phase immersion involves operating servers in a tank that has cooling fluid pushed through in a circuit server racks are in a tank filled with a different fluid that boils at low temperatures The study found that cold plates and the two immersion cooling technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissions 15 to 21 percent over their entire life cycles energy demand 15 to 20 percent and water consumption 31 to 52 percent in datacenters The team expected the three liquid methods to outperform air cooling on carbon emissions and water and energy consumption but those benefits hadn’t been quantified across the entire life cycle of those technologies Two-phase immersion has potential for reductions in all areas but it currently uses liquid polyfluoroalkyl substances which are under regulatory scrutiny in the European Union and the U.S. putting them at odds with pollution-reduction goals and possibly making them unavailable in the future Microsoft has investigated but is not currently using immersion cooling technologies in datacenter operations What we’re trying to do here is tell the industry And here is a tool for you that you can customize to your specific needs and then make a decision Microsoft is already installing cold plates in its datacenters while also exploring other next-generation cooling techniques. For instance Microsoft has begun deploying rack-scale cold plate cooling technology using heat exchanger units or “sidekicks,” alongside AI infrastructure servers powered by the latest GPUs “It was interesting to see that cold plates could be as good as the two immersion cooling methods,” said Teresa Nick natural systems and sustainability for Cloud Operations and Innovation at Microsoft and co-author of the paper in Nature The calculation of design factors such as total cost of ownership time to market and even reliability is mostly straightforward to quantify and compare That isn’t the case with sustainability impacts which can be hard to define and calculate across an entire supply chain and datacenter ecosystem Getting information about how raw materials were obtained water and energy involved in manufacturing The Microsoft authors pressed suppliers to divulge such data though not all of them participated then produced formulas so they – and others – could estimate the figures in the future public and shared in databases could help accelerate life cycle assessment efforts,” Alissa added Life cycle assessment can also be used to inform all aspects of datacenter structure and function including how to optimize and run a datacenter most efficiently One technology might do better on one measure with none of them outperforming in every area we’re trying to understand the trade-offs,” Nick said “You’re trying to understand the context of what you’re doing and what the impacts are.” For more information, including more detail on the data and methodology, review the Nature paper Read more: Using life cycle assessment to drive innovation for sustainable cool clouds Learn more: Life cycle assessment tools Myanmar earthquake: Working to meet the biggest needs 90% of our funding comes from individual donors.

We need your support to continue this lifesaving work This article is part of a developing story As Israeli forces resume and expand their offensive on Gaza Palestinian lives are once again being systematically destroyed JERUSALEM, April 16, 2025 — As Israeli forces resume and expand their military offensive by air, ground, and sea on the Gaza Strip in Palestine forcibly displacing people and deliberately blocking essential aid said the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) today. "Gaza has been turned into a mass grave of Palestinians and those coming to their assistance,” said Amande Bazerolle “We are witnessing in real time the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population in Gaza With nowhere safe for Palestinians or those trying to help them the humanitarian response is severely struggling under the weight of insecurity and critical supply shortages We are witnessing in real time the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population in Gaza the humanitarian response is severely struggling Over 50,000 people have been killed in Gaza since October 2023 Since the resumption of hostilities on March 18 According to the United Nations, at least 409 aid workers, most of whom were staff from UNWRA, the main provider of humanitarian aid in Gaza, have been killed since October 2023. Eleven MSF colleagues, some while on duty, have been killed since the start of the war In the latest attack by Israeli forces on aid workers the bodies of 15 emergency responders and the ambulances they were traveling in were found in a mass grave on March 30 in Rafah The group was killed by Israeli forces while trying to assist civilians caught in shelling on March 23 Recent publicly shared evidence has shown that the workers and their vehicles were clearly marked and identifiable challenging the initial claims given by Israeli authorities “This horrific killing of aid workers is yet another example of the complete disregard shown by Israeli forces for the protection of humanitarian and medical workers,” said Claire Magone “The silence and unconditional support of Israel's closest allies further emboldens these actions.” Only international and independent investigations can bring to light the circumstances of these attacks on aid workers This horrific killing of aid workers is yet another example of the complete disregard shown by Israeli forces for the protection of humanitarian and medical workers. Although the situation in Gaza has been catastrophic for over 18 months in the past three weeks MSF has witnessed several incidents involving the killing of humanitarian and medical workers. The coordination of humanitarian movements with Israeli authorities known as the Humanitarian Notification System (HNS) has become more unreliable and now barely affords any guarantees of protection Shells or bullets have hit health facilities where we work and other locations where humanitarian stakeholders have informed Israeli authorities of their presence Areas near health care facilities have been subjected to strikes MSF teams have had to leave many facilities while others continue operating with staff and patients trapped inside and unable to leave safely for hours at a time On April 7, MSF teams and patients were trapped in the MSF field hospital in Deir al-Balah endangering both patients and staff and leading to an evacuation order by Israeli forces who also carried out strikes near the compounds of Al-Aqsa and Nasser hospitals We strongly denounce these actions by the warring parties and call on them to respect and protect health care facilities teams have been unable to return to Al-Shaboura clinic in Rafah The full siege on Gaza has depleted food, fuel, and medical stocks MSF is facing especially acute shortages of medications for pain management and chronic illnesses The lack of fuel across the Strip will inevitably lead to the suspension of medical activities as hospitals rely on generators for electricity to keep patients in critical condition alive and conduct lifesaving operations. Humanitarians have been forced to watch people suffer and die while carrying the impossible burden of providing relief with depleted supplies all while facing the same life-threatening conditions themselves “Israeli authorities have deliberately blocked all aid from entering Gaza for over a month,” said Bazerolle “Humanitarians have been forced to watch people suffer and die while carrying the impossible burden of providing relief with depleted supplies There is no way they can carry out their mission under such circumstances This is not a humanitarian failure—it is a political choice and a deliberate assault on a people’s ability to survive Israeli authorities must end their collective punishment of Palestinians We urge Israel's allies to end their complicity and stop enabling the destruction of Palestinian lives Haiti violence pushes MSF trauma hospital to its limits South Sudan: MSF strongly condemns deliberate bombing of its hospital .. © Médecins Sans Frontières 2025 Federal tax ID#: 13-3433452 Unrestricted donations enable MSF to carry out our programs around the world we will reallocate your donation to where the needs are greatest Norske og internasjonale forskningsnyheter Hals stands by a mound of earth in his yard he had dug a trench there to install water pipes It likely took a hit from the excavator when the trench was dug Hans and his son Kjell start digging in the mound of earth according to the report archaeologist Louis Smedstad wrote in 1956 and he determines that the jaws belong to a dog and a horse archaeologists from Oslo arrive at the farm They continue digging with help from Hans and Kjell Archaeologists believe there was once a burial mound here that was later levelled with the terrain At the bottom of the pit they are now digging They have found the remains of a Viking boat but the rivets remain where the boat was once buried but the rows of rivets are intact at both ends The original placement of the weapons in the grave is unknown The discovery of the grave – this Viking buried in a boat – attracts local attention The newspaper Drammens Tidende interviews Hans Hals Schoolchildren and local residents come to watch the excavation the archaeologists take the items to the museum in Oslo They send photos from the excavation to Hans and Kjell we're sitting in the kitchen of the Hals family and a dog were buried in a boat a thousand years ago. she was attending a home economics school and was dating Kjell "He came by to tell me what they had found on the farm but his father wasn't so enthusiastic about it," says Sigrid "But there wasn't much talk about it," she says today Sigrid and Kjell's grandson and Marit's son "It's only been a couple of years since I saw the photos from the excavation It's a shame we don't know more," says Simen "It was kind of random that he was named Odin "It probably has something to do with the burial mounds around here," says Sigrid Hals farm sits at the highest point of what used to be an island a thousand years ago at a level up to six metres higher than today. The area is full of traces from early times. Where Simen lives, there are three burial mounds. And under the neighbour's garage, they found evidence of an Iron Age burial. The longhouse at Sem is only a couple of kilometres away. "It's strange to think the whole area used to be underwater," says Sigrid Marit remembers hunting for trilobites as a child These are fossils of tiny creatures that once lived in the sea only a few in the top echelons of society were buried in large ships It must have been a man of wealth and power whom they chose to honour with the sacrifice of an entire boat "It's kind of like burying a tractor today It's cool to think that the guy buried here might have been a great chieftain and that he possibly lived on this very farm It's fun to think we're walking the same ground as those Vikings," says Simen The Viking grave is part of the family story – a memory that fades with each generation. But what happened to the things they found on the farm She is an archaeologist and curator at the University of Oslo's Museum of Cultural History She has examined the find from Hals farm. of a type that was common in the period 800-850 CE It was likely produced in Norway or Scandinavia but we can still get information from it through X-rays," she says The grave goods were not in good condition. "From what I've seen of the condition the objects were in they wouldn't measure up to the Oseberg find But nothing really does," says Aannestad. She emphasises that the objects are still valuable for research "Complete burial finds like this are rare today," she says The objects were registered at the museum when they arrived. They are now listed in the Unimus portal, including the boat rivets It turns out that the bones were sent to the University Museum in Bergen in 1956 Olaug Flatnes Bratbak works with the collections in Bergen She has reviewed the material from Hals. Every gram of human and animal remains was analysed and recorded Bratbak explains that the bones were not burned The jaws and bones of the horse and dog were also there. it also states that there were remains of ox This is not mentioned in the Unimus portal. Hanne Aannestad explains that when the deceased was laid in the grave They were placed whole in the grave – or in the horse's case and cattle were placed in the grave as food offerings or as part of a ritual meal for the deceased and therefore not as whole animals," says Aannestad. This matches the fact that far fewer bones from pigs and cattle were found than from the dog and horse. "The animals were placed in different parts of the boat This suggests that the animals had different roles in the burial," says Aannestad The museum archive in Oslo has sent over everything they have related to the Hals discovery It turns out that the boat grave was not the first ancient find made at Hals farm Olaf is Marit's great-grandfather and Simen's great-great-grandfather Olaf found eight bronze objects lying in a layer of charcoal It was a grave where the deceased had been cremated. He found nothing more and took the objects to the museum. In the book Eikers historie (The history of Eiker) written by archaeologist Øystein Kock Johansen it states that this is "one of the finest graves from this period in Norway" and that the burial is unique in a Norwegian context Later generations of the Hals family had never heard of this discovery Jes Martens is an archaeologist at the Museum of Cultural History He is an expert on the pre-Roman Iron Age – the period which the grave Olaf found dates from Women used bronze fibulae to fasten their dresses at the shoulders "It functioned similarly to a modern safety pin but only one was found in the grave at Hals," says Martens he believes it was a woman who was buried at Hals "It's hard to determine if it was a man or woman when the bones are burnt but the objects suggest it was a woman," says Martens The fibula and belt buckle may have been made in Sweden. Several objects in the grave suggest a Swedish origin These are often found in graves in Västergötland "This could mean that the deceased woman came from Sweden and married a man at Hals," he says In 2019, a similar fibula was found near Sem, where the large longhouse once stood. "The fact that two such fibulae have been found in the same area suggests close connections between Øvre Eiker and Västergötland in Sweden," says Martens The couple at Hals may have represented an alliance between elites from the two regions The finds from Hals and Sem show that Eiker held an important and central position as early as the end of the pre-Roman Iron Age The links to Västergötland reinforce that view the Hals family travelled to Oslo to see the artefacts found on their farm They went to the Museum of Cultural History "They told us everything was stored elsewhere and that we should have contacted them ahead of time But we never ended up going back," says Sigrid The family finds it unfortunate that information about the finds doesn't make its way back to the farms and local communities "It's a shame for the interest in this area only a closed circle of people hears about it because then the interest would grow and people would be more motivated if they discovered something in their fields," says Marit "I wish I knew more about who these people were and how they lived," says Simen Hanne Aannestad from the Museum of Cultural History explains that today much more emphasis is placed on maintaining good relationships with landowners We've heard the stories of archaeologists who took objects and then people never heard anything more We've become more aware of this in recent years because we can't expect people to support our work just because a professor says they should," says Aannestad. If the Hals family were to visit Oslo today "We often have visits from families or others who want to see what's been found on their property and we at the museum manage them on behalf of everyone," says Aannestad a birch tree now stands as a kind of memorial to the Viking The family believes it was planted in 1956 when the excavation ended but maybe the birch should have a plaque or sign about the find made here instead A lot of people walk past here," says Simen Hals Read the Norwegian version of this article on forskning.no Sign up Ta kontakt med Preben ForbergTelefon 41 31 08 79 eller preben@forskning.no Vis alle stillinger Sciencenorway.no brings you science news from Norway.This is the English version of forskning.no online newspaper on science.Sciencenorway.no har artikler fra forskning.no på engelsk Privacy policy Sciencenorway.no follows the Norwegian Editor’s Code and the Code of Ethics of the Norwegian Press Editor-in-chief / publisher: Aksel Kjær Vidnes+47 922 47 741 / aksel@forskning.noAssistant editor: Alette Bjordal Gjellesvikalette@forskning.no Researcher's Zone: Frithjof Eide Fjeldstad frithjof@forskning.no Ads and market: Preben Forberg+47 413 10 879 / preben@forskning.noAddress: Sandakerveien 24 C / D3 Get the best experience and stay connected to your community with our Spectrum News app. Learn More ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A new report revealed there are at least ten possible graves on the Tropicana Field property Petersburg city leaders have to figure out what they’re going to do with that information a group of lifelong residents gathered to talk about the city’s history with Tropicana Field It was about the three cemeteries once located there “We’ve always known that all the buildings and all the development that came later on they had not completely removed all of the bodies out of there,” said one resident These are the kind of conversations Givens said leaders need to hear especially after a new report revealed there are at least ten suspected graves on the property and more areas of interest “I definitely think we need to engage more descendants like myself We need to be talking to stakeholders like the African American history museum We should be talking to some of these veteran organizations,” Givens said archeologists from Stantec used ground penetrating radar to scan the sections of the property Givens said he was surprised city leaders didn’t mention the findings in the report that was completed last November during all of the discussions about the now failed redevelopment project But I was saddened to know the city has known this for months and they didn’t disclose it to the public,” Givens said Antionette Jackson’s team has not only suspected graves were at the site they now know more about who was buried in one of the three cemeteries “We found over 300 names of people who were buried in Evergreen Cemetery We’re also connecting with living descendants today,” said Jackson “I think this is going to help with this conversation the city needs to have and the redevelopment team needs to have.” Jackson and her team at the Black Cemeteries Network are working on a project to find out more about the cemeteries on the property: Moffet “It’s a call to action for people who have any connection to Evergreen Cemetery to contact us,” she said “We got a contract with the Florida Department of State to focus on Evergreen Cemetery Who are the descendants of the people that are buried here?” Givens said he’s determined to make sure that residents are heard as leaders decide the future of the property while honoring its history addressing numerous needs and landing some incredibly talented players to bolster the roster The Panthers entered the offseason knowing they had many holes to fill and it would be unfair to expect them to solve every problem in one fell swoop Noah Bryce of Cat Crave feels that general manager Dan Morgan should have done a better job of rectifying one position in particular: linebacker Carolina had the worst defense in NFL history last season and shoddy linebacker play was a big part of it the Panthers signed Christian Rozeboom to a one-year deal but Bryce feels that Morgan should have doubled down on the position in the draft last week "The Panthers did not take a linebacker in the first round," Bryce wrote "They didn't end up taking one at all And this comes from a general manager who used to play the position and should know just how important a strong second level is to a team's defensive strategy this team needs to take a hard look at itself and realize it needs some more solid leaders down the middle in the future Morgan must stop throwing band-aids on this obvious complication." Carolina selecting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan with the eighth overall pick was a terrific move and the Panthers went out and got one for him But not taking a single linebacker over the rest of the draft is definitely a bit puzzling Perhaps someone like second-year player Trevin Wallace will take a major step forward in 2025 but Carolina probably could have added another linebacker into the mix just to play it safe The Panthers have certainly had a strong offseason overall but this may have been a significant oversight on the part of Morgan Analytics point to the Panthers’ 2025 draft class as one of the NFL’s best Panthers may have landed NFL draft's biggest steal no one is talking about Carolina Panthers had offers from at least 2 teams to trade up in Round 1 The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Sports Illustrated or its affiliates All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER Fans online have been complaining about West's antics in response to the video "I wonder if he says this for shock value or genuinely feels that way," one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Another added: "He’s obsessed with that man… Why are you mentioning him all the time?"

I promised her on her deathbed that I would do that." matching a symbol on his mother's headstone the ink has helped keep her spirit with him "It's a reminder of what we've gone through and it's also a reminder of my faith," he explained he buried her cremains directly across from the headstone for Bessie Bank records even show that Montano paid the City of La Junta $155 dollars for her burial was me putting her in the ground," said Montano Montano got a voicemail on his phone from Erin Harris who was the contracted City Attorney for La Junta She stated she needed to talk with him about the grave plot and gave her condolences over his mother's recent passing "They have no idea where my grandmother is and that while that might be her headstone her direct quote to me was that there might be no one in that cemetery plot 'It's too expensive to find out about this KRDO13 Investigates found within La Junta cemetery code that it costs $1,500 for the disinterment of an adult gravesite a process that needs the written approval of a judge and those who own the grave site They also tell Montano that he is not the rightful owner of the grave plot where his mother and it's their grandmother whose Flo's cremains were buried alongside KRDO13 Investigates is not naming the two siblings involved in the situation at the request of Montano who believes they haven't done anything wrong It is important to note that their grandma died the same year as Bessie did A records request from KRDO13 Investigates shows a copy of the plot deed from 1947 The entire situation prompted the City of La Junta to file a Declaratory Judgment with the Otero County Court It is a legal process that avoids going to a trial by having all parties within a certain matter agree to certain stipulations in order to settle the situation alleging that Montano was claiming to have had ownership of the grave plot which comes into obvious conflict with the sisters' possession of the deed KRDO13 Investigates found through a records request that the court filing almost didn't even happen emails between the City of La Junta and the two sisters show that the city was going to move both Flo and Bessie's markers and Flo's remains It was only when the sisters went out of their way to request that the city contact Montano to alert him of the issue at hand that the city then arranged the call to him later that month "We owe a debt of gratitude to that family because they prevented them from moving my mom anywhere We don't even know where they would have put her," explained Montano Putting his disbelief aside that the city almost took action without his consent Montano says he also has no idea where the idea of a dispute over the plot's ownership even came from We asked and sought permission from La Junta to bury her there Its still unclear as to how Bessie was buried at the grave decades ago if the plot didn't technically belong to Montano's lineage at the time nor how Montano was able to pay the City of La Junta $155 dollars for Flo's burial in 2023 It's one of many questions the City of La Junta has not answered for us as of the writing of this article was to have an Otero County judge decide what Montano and the two sisters would need to do with their property The stipulations began rather straightforward: the city would arrange the removal of the cremains of Florence Pacheco and have them placed under the control of Samuel Montano who intended to have them moved to Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo the City of La Junta would reimburse the sisters with up to $700 for the creation of a new headstone for their grandma took issue with the fact that the city ignored his request for the city to pay for the transfer of Flo and Bessie's items since he felt that he was the one being wronged in the situation they offered us first to sell a plot [to us] here and then they offered us $1,500," explained Montano where we live and I made it clear to [their attorney] that we don't want my mother here An email obtained by KRDO13 Investigates from Bradley Tucker the attorney representing the City in the declaratory judgment "a clear answer on whether the city knows where his grandmother we need to clarify whether we have any way of determining that." Tucker's response was: "The city does not know where she is buried and has no way of determining that." It made Montano realize that he would likely never get the truth about his grandma's body and subsequently that his mother's dying wish to be buried with her was never actually fulfilled "At least she knew that I tried," said a teary-eyed Montano would believe any of this," he later added KRDO13 Investigates spent weeks trying to get answers on behalf of Montano we exchanged emails with La Junta City Manager Michael Hart who originally agreed to an interview on March 13 to say that he was advised of the ongoing litigation and that he could not speak about it any further we continued to ask a number of questions via email hoping to gain a more basic understanding of how this happened and give the City the opportunity to address claims made by Montano We then called and left messages for Hart twice we also called City Attorney Erin Harris-- twice We even reached out via email to the Mayor of La Junta "Michael and Erin should have a response for you soon regarding the specific concerns you’ve raised." We never heard from them KRDO13 Investigates drove down to La Junta on April 2nd to try and speak with Mr We happened to catch him out on a lunch break We explained that we respected the integrity of the ongoing litigation to give the city a fair opportunity to address how exactly this all happened I've been on the job now for about a month and a half," stating that he had only taken office in early 2025 after the previous long-time city manager retired in 2024 He said that he would take a look at the emails that we had sent to him and that he would try to answer them later that day when we planned to circle back to City Hall we were told he was at the office but not available Our cameras happened to spot him through an open doorway standing just around the corner from our conversation with his secretary Montano has continued to fight the stipulated orders because he says he doesn't want to settle the case and allow the City to get away without answering for his grandma' missing body "There is no price tag over someone's memories, their loved ones or their faith, and all of those have been trampled on by the city of La Junta He planned to hire an attorney to help do so but after seeing how much it may cost him to litigate the situation he reluctantly agreed to partake in a final April 16 court conference between the city and the two sisters to resolve the matter the Otero County judge assigned to the case dismissed the Declaratory Judgement since both he and the two sisters clarified that there was no dispute over who owned the plot the judge ordered the City of La Junta to pay for the removal of Flo's remains and the removal of her and Bessie's markers which will be transferred into Montano's possession the city will also have to pay $700 towards the two sisters' new headstone for their grandmother at Cavalry Cemetery Montano says those items will be brought to Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo He added that even once the paperwork was filed there was never an apology by the city over his grandma's misplacement Tyler is a reporter for KRDO.

The remaining soldiers were wounded and died later and then may have been buried in a second grave Because the landowner has a crop of soybeans currently growing in the field the team plans to dig a shallow trench this fall to find conclusive evidence of the graves and then we decide what our next steps forward are," Mink said including consulting with the descendant community military representatives and preservation experts —Civil War weapons thrown into river by General Sherman's forces recovered in South Carolina —Kentucky man finds over 700 Civil War-era coins buried in his cornfield —Archaeologists find unexploded artillery shell under Gettysburg battlefield "I'm so impressed with the use of modern technology to give dignity to these long-ignored and forgotten African American soldiers," Holly K.

Oaklawn Cemetery was founded as a White cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery was a Black cemetery and Moffett Cemetery, which predated the other two by almost 20 years, appears to have served both communities. The latter two cemeteries are likely located under what is now Fifth Avenue South and Interstate 175. Because of redevelopment plans and limited access because of the interstate, Oaklawn was studied first because it lies within one parcel with one property owner. Historical maps and plats pinpoint the Oaklawn cemetery as located at Lot 1 and the eastern part of Lot 2 at the Trop. Research done by Stantec, the city’s consultant, identified 112 burials there including 108 white individuals and four Black individuals. Deeds from Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties show that 113 lots were officially sold in that cemetery. Researchers found 35 sales of those lots between 1906 and 1926 while noting that due to past record-keeping practices, they likely do not have a comprehensive list. The majority of those sold lots, whether linked to a deceased person or not, are clustered in the northeast part of Lot 1.

That’s where Stantec’s results found more possible graves. “Most likely to be missing are those from marginalized communities, people with less socio-economic means, and infants or children,” the report read. “However, these death records for all three cemeteries paint a picture, even if it is incomplete, of the burial patterns and various communities who used each cemetery.” Stantec noted that many tree roots and buried utility lines, storm drains, and electrical conduits for parking lot lights were in the way and made it hard to discern possible graves or activity. Construction began on the Royal Court Apartments, built on Oaklawn, in 1949. Apartments were also built atop Evergreen and Moffett cemeteries, though they were demolished to build I-175. Stantec’s report said construction workers building the interstate reportedly found a skull and vertebrae. Leg and arm bones were discovered in a separate incident the same year. “However, no official archaeological investigations were conducted,” the report read. Stantec recommended testing certain areas to confirm the presence of human remains. But the firm also warned that no archaeological work should be done without first consulting with potential descendants and stakeholder groups connected to Oaklawn Cemetery.

and Druze in Damascus suburb While the new Syrian government continues to strive for international recognition and sanctions relief two incidents in recent days have shone a spotlight on the struggles of the leadership most of which was part of the former Islamist terror group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham to rein in the Islamist forces in the country Among the new government’s most important promises has been the protection of minorities However, this was already called into serious question in March, when regime supporters and security forces rounded up and executed rebels and civilians in the majority-Alawite coastal provinces Some 1,700 civilians were killed in the clashes according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) Druze leaders strongly protested after over a dozen people were reportedly killed in clashes the preceding evening “Heavy clashes erupted in Jaramana after security forces and affiliated gunmen stormed” some areas of the Damascus suburb which is mainly populated by Druze and Christians The clashes followed “the circulation of an audio recording containing religious insults,” the monitor added a Syria expert at the Middle East Institute wrote that “a video of a Druze man mocking the Prophet Mohammed went viral in Syria it triggered an angry online backlash & calls for public decency gunmen from the nearby Sunni towns converged on Jaramana An interior ministry spokesman claimed that two members of the newly established General Security Service He further alleged that groups of civilians were protesting against the recording when they

responsibility for the incident and for any further developments or worsening of the crisis.” Israel has vowed to protect Syria’s Druze population There was no immediate Israeli comment on the incident The town of Jaramana has already once been the particular focus of Israel’s attention when the government publicly instructed the Israel Defense Forces to defend the town amid previous clashes We are committed to our Druze brothers in Israel to do everything to prevent harm to their Druze brothers in Syria and we will take all necessary steps to maintain their security," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a joint statement in March The clashes in Jaramana followed another case of the Syrian government failing to safeguard minorities a prominent Jewish scholar of the 15th and 16th centuries While the country has barely any Jews left Syria’s cities once held large Jewish populations most of them fled either to Israel or

urging the Syrian government to “immediately secure Jewish religious sites Syria’s authorities were aware of the incident inspected the site and began an investigation of the incident a Syrian security official told The Media Line “It appears that the act was motivated by theft,” he said Such actions are categorically unacceptable and harm the social fabric of Syria.” He further emphasized that the Syrian government is committed to the protection of all the country’s religious and cultural sites Syria’s new Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani met with a delegation from the Syrian Jewish community in New York City They discussed the importance of strengthening communication to address relevant issues as well as the community’s cultural and historical ties to their Syrian homeland The

It's the middle-class family that has picked up the comedic and dramatic load.

"He declares that in front of Louise," Helford says The $700 is enough to have the entire family over for a pizza party around the family's famed couch and afghan gives the final defiant toast: "No matter how much crap life throws at us tearing up at the door with "Good night." Goranson and Gilbert follow with tearful exits that are deeper than a pizza-party ending "That was 'goodbye' forever," Helford says So that's the actual people saying goodbye Once Laurie (Metcalf) said hers at the door looks to the camera and says with a wry smile 'The Conners' ends with 'Roseanne' nostalgia but without RoseanneThe episode concludes with big-hair vintage clips of the characters from "Roseanne." Barr is noticeably missing But the moment shows how the core "Conners" crew have been together for nearly four decades "These actors have been friends for 37 years playing these characters for 15 of these years," says Helford Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson grew up on this show Just seeing the changes in everyone and the passage of time shows how momentous this is 'Roseanne' was a very big thing in people's lives
