The HackerNoon Newsletter: Lumoz RaaS Introduces Layer 2 Solution on Move Ecosystem (11/24/2024)NEW ORLEANS — A 93-year-old former Catholic priest sentenced to life in prison earlier this month for raping a teenage boy has died, Louisiana authorities and his lawyer confirmed Friday. Less than two weeks after being sentenced to spend the rest of his life behind bars, Lawrence Hecker died of natural causes at 3 a.m. Thursday in a Baton Rouge hospital, according to Ken Pastorick, Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections communications director. Hecker had pleaded guilty to charges including first-degree rape and aggravated kidnapping shortly before jury selection for his long-delayed trial had been scheduled to begin earlier this month, with other victims prepared to testify against him. The survivor of the assault to which Hecker pleaded guilty had said that Hecker raped him after offering to instruct him in wrestling moves ahead of tryouts for a school team in the mid-1970s. “The only prayer I can come up with I hope he spends eternity in hell after God's judgment of him,” the survivor said in a written statement provided by his attorney, Richard Trahant. “Now after his death I feel vindicated and free,” he said. The Associated Press does not identify those who say they have been sexually assaulted. Hecker had been transferred to the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in Louisiana on Monday, Pastorick said. He did not specify when or why Hecker was sent to the hospital. Hecker's trial had been delayed for months partly because of questions around his mental competency. Hecker had suffered from dementia, his lawyer Bobby Hjortsberg said. Hecker had been ordained as an archdiocesan priest in 1958 and remained in this position even after facing an undisputed complaint of child molestation in the late 1980s, according to court records. Hecker left the ministry in 2002. Hecker's conviction occurred amid a wave of sexual abuse allegations against the Catholic church in New Orleans, many resurfacing from decades ago. The fallout has left the Archdiocese of New Orleans embroiled in bankruptcy negotiations. Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Fashion brand Seasalt Cornwall are encouraging shoppers to 'buy well this Black Friday' with offers on their responsibly sourced designs. For a limited time, you can snap up two styles across their organic Breton sailor shirts and cotton t-shirts for £50. There are a number of designs to choose from, with prices up to £29.95 per shirt. One of the most popular choices included in the deal is the Striped Sailor Shirt. Stocked in sizes eight to 28, there are 18 colourways to pick from, all made from 100% organic cotton. The Striped Sailor Shirt has received feedback from more than 2,000 Seasalt Cornwall shoppers, giving it an overall rating of 4.7 out of five stars. One happy customer wrote: "I now have 4 different colours of the Sailor Shirt. I like to keep my arms covered and these tops are stylish, cool and I find the cut slimming (a big positive!) They wash beautifully, keeping their shape, without seams twisting and iron easily." READ MORE: Shoppers want 'every colour' of these Pavers boots now in Black Friday sale READ MORE: Roman jumper that looks festive but 'will have a lot of wear' is under £35 Another person said: "I bought two of these tops and love them both, lovely bright colours for winter. Fabric is thick enough to wear on their own but they look also look good under a shirt or jacket." However, not everyone was a fan and someone pointed out: "I must have a different top to everyone else. I think the material is very thin and cheap compared to similar tops I own." If you're after a style that is perfect for layering consider the Landing Roll Neck Top. There are 14 designs to choose from, including block colours and playful prints, so there should be a colour to suit all tastes. The long sleeves and turtle neck gives a little more coverage, ideal for adding to your winter wardrobe. Leaving feedback for the Landing Roll Neck Top , someone said: "This is the perfect top to create the layered look. I bought one to try it out, and I was so impressed by how comfortable it was that I have now bought several in different colours. They are great for the colder weather and a nice way to mix up the outfit colour palette. The fit is true to size and the item washes well." The fit proved problematic for some, as highlighted by one customer who wrote: "The only downside is I found the neck a bit tight and annoying. It’s also a tight fit on the arms, but it’s fine for wearing under dresses." Other t-shirts included in the two for £50 deal are the Early Orchid Striped Ribbed Henley Top , Burdock Organic Cotton V-Neck T-Shirt and the Perennial Striped Top. Other fashion brands that have dropped early Black Friday sales are Nobody's Child , Debenhams and Karen Millen.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein will be activated from injured reserve and will play against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich announced Friday that Zuerlein is returning after missing seven games with a knee injury to his left, non-kicking leg. He had been shaky before the injury, but the Jets have since been unsettled at the position, with Riley Patterson, Spencer Shrader and Anders Carlson all filling in. “He came back, looked healthy, kicked the ball well this week,” Ulbrich said of Zuerlein. “So, he’ll be our guy going forward here.” Zuerlein is officially listed as questionable to play, but was a full participant the final two practices. Wide receiver Davante Adams is also questionable , but likely to play after participating on a limited basis Friday because of a hip ailment that held him out Thursday. Adams, acquired from Las Vegas in October, has 56 receptions for 719 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets in nine games for the Jets. He’s 72 yards away from his fifth straight 1,000-yard season and sixth of his career. “I think at this point, it would be a crying shame to not be able to get that,” he said. Adams and Aaron Rodgers are also tied with Miami’s Dan Marino and Mark Clayton for the third-most TD connections (82), including playoffs, by a quarterback-wide receiver duo. Rodgers needs one touchdown pass to become the fifth player in NFL history to get 500 in the regular season — and Adams said he would “love” to be on the receiving end of the milestone. “I got 200, I got 400," he said of Rodgers' TD passes while they were teammates in Green Bay. “So it would be dope to get 500 as well. I think his 200th was my first, so we got some special connections in the past, so it'd be great.” Adams said he was injured early in the game against the Rams, but was still able to catch seven passes for 68 yards and a touchdown. He said he was optimistic about his chances of playing at Buffalo. “We’re still working on it,” Adams said. “We’re treating it, trying to get it right so we can hopefully be there and ready by game time.” Cornerback Sauce Gardner is also questionable with a hamstring injury that sidelined him in the second half of New York's loss to the Los Angeles Rams . Zuerlein, who re-signed with the Jets last offseason on a two-year deal, made just nine of 15 field goal attempts and missed one extra point in the first eight games this year. He had been one of the NFL's most consistently reliable kickers the previous two seasons with the Jets. Patterson kicked in one game after the Jets placed Zuerlein on IR. Shrader also kicked in one game before he was signed off the practice squad by Kansas City. Carlson had been the kicker the past five games, but missed a field goal and an extra point against the Rams and the Jets signed Greg Joseph to the practice squad to provide competition. Ulbrich said earlier in the week Zuerlein would also be in the mix after a long layoff. "I think sometimes that can be powerful, an opportunity just to take a deep breath, get his body healthy again and get a restart," Ulbrich said. “So I’m excited for him to do his thing these last two games and really demonstrate to everybody who he is as a kicker.” Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams could return after missing last week with a hamstring injury. He was listed as questionable and was limited at practice all week. Also questionable but expected to play are right tackle Morgan Moses (knee), safety Tony Adams (ankle), cornerback Michael Carter II (back), defensive end Haason Reddick (neck) and defensive lineman Braiden McGregor (ankle). Defensive tackle Leki Fotu was ruled out with a knee injury. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

The holidays are supposed to be the most wonderful time of year, but they’re also one of the most expensive. And it’s not just gifts that we’re spending money on. It’s flights to visit family, ingredients to prepare a special dinner and a glittery new dress for our office’s holiday party. Of course, you want to enjoy the holidays, but you also don’t want to find yourself staring at your bank statement afterwards, wondering just where all that money went. There’s one way to seek solace: Find free activities for everyone to enjoy. Round up Grandma and Grandpa or your gaggle of nieces and nephews and take them to one of these complimentary happenings. You just might find a new side of your neighborhood to explore. The holidays often mean endless eating, binging movies on the couch and generally vegging out. But a holiday race — yes, we mean running — is a great way to jump start those fitness resolutions. Registration for these races is sometimes free, meaning you can take your whole family out to the event for no cost. Just expect to break a sweat. At The Penny Hoarder, free is our favorite word. These companies give you food and other products for free. If your idea of a fun holiday activity is something a little more passive, then a parade is the thing to do. Tune in on Jan. 1 to the Rose Parade to watch beautiful floats roll through Pasadena, California. And if you’d rather take your friends and family out to something in person, look for local holiday parades in your area. Make sure to bring a folding chair and a warm mug and you’re ready to go. This holiday activity requires a bit of work to get off the ground but will come with a big payoff, we promise. If you want to feel like a tourist in your own hometown, then devise a scavenger hunt with clues that will send your guests scrambling around the city. Consider clues that aren’t just object-based — like find the giant blue statue — but require your group to actually do something — for example, take a picture on someone’s porch. Who doesn’t love Bingo? But did you know that holiday Bingo exists? And better yet, it’s completely free. You can create your own version online and print out cards for the whole family to enjoy. Any day off from work or school is a good excuse to go to the library. And what better way to get in the holiday spirit than dusting off a favorite seasonal book? Make an activity of it by allowing each person in your group to choose their favorite book and take turns reading their favorite parts. Whether you live by the mountains or the sea, in the city or in the plains, we know your town has a beautiful place to park or spend a little time. As you feel the essence of the season wash over you, gather up your family or friends, unfurl a blanket and choose a scenic spot to discuss what you’re most grateful for this holiday time of year. If you want to exercise but intense cardio is not your thing, yoga is a low-impact activity that can have a big impact on your mental health. Free yoga courses abound across the country. And Youtube videos mean it’s easy to partake without spending a buck. The spirit of the holiday season is more than gifts and baked goods. It’s about giving back. Treat your neighbors to a treat and create a fun experience by organizing a neighborhood clean-up. Beautifying the place you live will energize you and make your life a little bit easier. Want more money-saving secrets like this? Here are eight more you should try. Twinkling lights are a visual reminder that the holiday season is here. And like snowflakes, each light display has its own unique beauty. Take a stroll around your neighborhood, drive by other lit-up streets or check out the streetscapes and decorated storefronts downtown. The weather may be chilly but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good time for a festival. Many cities host winter festivals to celebrate the holiday season. As long as you have enough willpower not to shop from the booths, attending a local festival can be a nice, no-cost weekend outing. Check your local newspaper or community social media pages to see what events will take place in your town or a nearby city. Gather up a merry band of friends and family and sing all your favorite holiday tunes. Some mugs of hot cocoa afterward make for an even better experience. Get your family together to write thank-you notes to relatives and friends who sent gifts. Amid the flurry of unwrapping, it’s particularly easy for kids to “forget” they even got a present. And this gives everyone a chance to send holiday wishes to those who may be far away. Capture the moment with an informal, seasonal photoshoot. Use your seasonal home decor as a nice backdrop — or select a beautiful snowy spot for outdoor photos. If you live in an area where it snows, take advantage of all the frozen fun. Make a snowman, have a snowball fight, go sledding and enjoy every snow day you get. You don’t have much longer to listen to the holiday hit parade. So put on some holiday music and rock out around the Christmas tree. Bring out all your arts and craft supplies and turn your Pinterest dreams into reality. Consider this holiday activity if you’re looking for something to do with the kids over winter break. A quick Google search will help you find craft projects to do with kids of all ages.

Instead of cooking all the food for a holiday dinner — and spending a bunch of money at the grocery store — host a potluck-style meal. Each person can bring a dish (or drinks or even paper plates) so that no one person is stuck with the financial burden of feeding everyone. December is the time of year when many organizations have their holiday concerts. Even if you don’t know people in the band or chorus, you can come out to support your community. Many performances are free. You don’t have to be a talented singer to sing karaoke. You just have to be up for having a fun time. If you and your friends don’t have a karaoke machine at home, you can always play instrumental lyric videos on YouTube. We know you’re a saver. If you have more than $1,000 in your checking account, it’s time to make these eight moves. Break out the board games and decks of cards and invite your friends over for game night. Ask your pals to bring their favorite games so you have a nice selection to choose from. Winner gets bragging rights for the rest of the year. Make a list of your favorite holiday movies and organize a movie night. Or skip the holiday theme and select movies based on your favorite film genre. Don’t forget the popcorn and snacks! Get to know your loved ones better using conversation cards as discussion prompts. While you can purchase card decks online, you can also Google free printable conversation cards. Bring out the conversation cards when everyone’s together for the big holiday dinner. Give back during the holiday season by volunteering your time to a local charity. You could serve meals at a soup kitchen, deliver presents for kids in need or try another giving activity. With the new year approaching, it’s the perfect time to create your resolutions for the year ahead. Make your goals visual by creating a vision board using magazine clippings, stickers, photos and more. Gather friends and family for a vision board party where everyone can create their vision boards together.
