Grand Canyon 'packrafting' conviction brings $2,500 fine, ban from national parks

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:05:24 GMT

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Samuel H. Edwards will have to pay a $2,500 fine for "packrafting" — and he can't set foot in a national park for two years, either.On Thursday, the National Park Service (NPS) announced Edwards' sentence after he was caught for the second time leading an illegal packrafting expedition through the Grand Canyon.Packrafting, an activity that combines hiking and personal rafting, is prohibited at Grand Canyon National Park unless visitors obtain specific permits for their trips, NPS said. Rafting the Grand Canyon is heavily regulated, and permits are used to control access and preserve the quality of the experience. Edwards did not have a permit, and was in a restricted area."Packrafting, or River Assisted Backcountry Travel (RABT), differs from traditional river rafting in that it is utilizing the river for short distances in order to access another route or trail," NPS said. "Hikers typically will have a backcountry permit and use the river to connect portions of t...

Tesla builds its first Cybertruck four years after unveiling prototype

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:05:24 GMT

New York (CNN) — Tesla finally built its first Cybertruck, the company tweeted Saturday, two years behind schedule.The electric car company tweeted an image of workers in hard hats surrounding the sleek Cybertruck, which it said was built at its Gigafactory near Austin, Texas.Tesla revealed the prototype for the futuristic Cybertruck in 2019, saying production would begin in late 2021. The striking prototype looked like a large metal trapezoid on wheels, its exteriors made from a stainless steel alloy. However, a demonstration of the truck’s supposedly unbreakable windows in 2019 backfired when a metal ball thrown at the windows did, in fact, break them.Tesla remained mostly silent about plans for the highly anticipated vehicle, but in 2021 announced an updated version was coming. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company couldn’t yet debut long-promised new vehicles, such as the Cybertruck pickup, due to supply chain issues.However, in January Tes...

After a shoplifter stole items from a Dollar General in Fresno, Calif., and fled with the goods on a bicycle, an employee chased him down with her car and swerved into him on a driveway, knocking him off the bike and scattering the stuff he had stolen. They then got into a shouting match in which he is heard telling her that the situation is “not that serious,” and that other people also steal from stores. She retrieved about half of the stolen goods.THIS ONE WON’T BE TOO HARD TO SOLVE: A woman stole a 5-week-old baby monkey named Pepe out of the cage he shared with its brother, Juan, in a Homestead, Fla., pet shop.

UN says the Damascus-proposed conditions for aid delivery to northwest Syria are ‘unacceptable’

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:05:24 GMT

BEIRUT (AP) — The United Nations agency responsible for overseeing humanitarian aid has described conditions placed by the Syrian government on aid deliveries from Turkey to northwest Syria as “unacceptable.”The future delivery of aid across Syria’s northern border was thrown into question Tuesday after the U.N. Security Council was unable to agree on either of two competing proposals to extend the mandate for bringing aid from Turkey by way of the Bab al Hawa border crossing.Two days later, Syria’s ambassador to the U.N. said Damascus would give voluntary permission for the U.N. to use the crossing for six months, on condition that aid delivery would be done “in full cooperation and coordination with the government,” that the U.N. would not communicate with “terrorist organizations” and their affiliates, and that the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent would run aid operations.In a letter sent to the Security Council on Friday, a copy of ...

Tesla’s 1st electric pickup has rolled off the assembly line, company says

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:05:24 GMT

Tesla says its first production Cybertruck electric pickup has rolled off the assembly line, nearly two years behind the original schedule.The company tweeted a photo on Saturday showing scores of workers in helmets and yellow vests surrounding the truck.“First Cybertruck built at Giga Texas!” Tesla tweeted, including a cowboy hat-wearing emoji. Owner Elon Musk retweeted the post.Musk unveiled the truck in late 2019, and Tesla had said production would start in late 2021, although the company has since cautioned that production would begin slowly and in smaller numbers than Tesla’s other vehicles. With its wedge shape and stainless-steel body — which Tesla calls the exoskeleton — the Cybertruck looks nothing like a traditional pickup. Some analysts have panned it as a niche product that won’t have broad appeal.Musk said in April that the company expected to deliver the first truck probably in the July-through-September quarter. He said that as with other new products, pr...

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:05:24 GMT

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Ons Jabeur used a white kleenex to wipe away tears as she walked to her post-match news conference 1 1/2 hours after falling to 0-3 in Grand Slam finals by coming up short against Marketa Vondrousova in the Wimbledon final Saturday.Jabeur called it “the most painful loss of my career,” and was grateful for the consoling embrace she received from Kate, the Princess of Wales, during the trophy presentation at Centre Court — “Hugs are always welcome,” the 28-year-old Tunisian said — and the comforting words she heard later from Kim Clijsters, the International Tennis Hall of Fame member who was defeated in her first four major finals before winning the next four.The 6-4, 6-4 setback against Vondrousova, the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon, followed Jabeur’s losses to Elena Rybakina in the final at the All England Club last July and to Iga Swiatek in the final at the U.S. Open last September.“You cannot force things. It wasn’t meant to be,” said Jabeur, t...
