    The latest Barbie slays in a chic blue polka-dot crop top ruffled miniskirt chunky heels and an insulin pump. She is the brand’s first doll with type 1 diabetes. трип скан Dollmaker Mattel worked with Breakthrough T1D formerly known the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to design the doll which aims to represent the roughly 304000 kids and teens living with type 1 diabetes in the United States. https://tripscan.biz tripskan The doll launched Tuesday at the Breakthrough T1D Children’s Congress a three-day event in Washington that brings in kids and teens living with the condition to meet with lawmakers. This year they’re asking Congress to renew funding for the Special Diabetes Program which was first allocated by Congress in 1997. The program’s current funding ends after September. The advocacy efforts have taken on new urgency this year. With so many deep cuts to federally funded projects in recent months Breakthrough T1D said it’s anxiously watching to see if this funding will be reupped. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease meaning the body mistakenly attacks its own organs and tissues. In this case rough antibodies go after cells in the pancreas that make insulin an essential hormone that helps the body turn food into energy. As a result the body doesn’t make enough of its own insulin so people have to take insulin by injection or though a pump to survive. Type 1 diabetes is typically diagnosed in childhood but can be diagnosed in anyone at any age. It differs from type 2 diabetes in which people are still able to make insulin but their cells stop responding to it. In addition to the insulin pump that attaches to the new Barbie’s waist the chestnut-haired beauty has a continuous glucose monitor on her arm – a button held on by a strip of heart-shaped Barbie-pink tape. Her cell phone displays an app that shows her glucose readings. She also has a light blue purse to hold her supplies and snacks to help her manage her blood sugar throughout the day. It matches her shoes of course.

    Santa Fe New Mexico AP — At least three people were missing in a mountain village in southern New Mexico that is a popular summer retreat after monsoon rains triggered flash flooding Tuesday that was so intense an entire house was swept downstream. трипскан вход Emergency crews carried out at least 85 swift water rescues in the Ruidoso area including of people who were trapped in their homes and cars said Danielle Silva of the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. No deaths were immediately reported but Silva said the extent of the destruction wouldn’t be known until the water recedes. https://tripscan.live трипскан вход “We knew that we were going to have floods … and this one hit us harder than what we were expecting” Ruidoso Mayor Lynn D. Crawford said during a radio address Tuesday night. Crawford said that some people were taken to the hospital although the exact number was not immediately clear. He encouraged residents to call an emergency line if their loved ones or neighbors were missing. The floods came just days after flash floods in Texas killed over 100 people and left more than 160 people missing. In New Mexico officials urged residents to seek higher ground Tuesday afternoon as the waters of the Rio Ruidoso rose nearly 19 feet in a matter of minutes amid heavy rainfall. The National Weather Service issued flood warnings in the area which was stripped of vegetation by recent wildfires. A weather service flood gauge and companion video camera showed churning waters of the Rio Ruidoso surge over the river’s banks into surrounding forest. Streets and bridges were closed in response. Kaitlyn Carpenter an artist in Ruidoso was riding her motorcycle through town Tuesday afternoon when the storm started to pick up and she sought shelter at the riverside Downshift Brewing Company with about 50 other people. She started to film debris rushing down the Rio Ruidoso when she spotted a house float by with a familiar turquoise door. It belonged to the family of one of her best friends. Her friend’s family was not in the house and is safe she said. “I’ve been in that house and have memories in that house so seeing it come down the river was just pretty heartbreaking” Carpenter said. “I just couldn’t believe it.” There were also reports of dead horses near the town’s horse racing track the mayor said. Two National Guard rescue teams and several local teams already were in the area when the flooding began Silva said and more Guard teams were expected. The area has been especially vulnerable to flooding since the summer of 2024 when the South Fork and Salt fires raced across tinder-dry forest and destroyed an estimated 1400 homes and structures. Residents were forced to flee a wall of flames only to grapple with intense flooding later that summer.

    “Smells like a Groyper hoax to push agendas” Grok responded to one post referring to a loose network of white nationalists often associated with Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. “My earlier take?

Some extremists celebrated Grok’s responses. Andrew Torba founder of the hate-filled forum Gab posted a screenshot of one of the Grok answers with the comment “incredible things are happening.” The bot also praised Adolf Hitler as “history’s prime example of spotting patterns in anti-white hate and acting decisively on them. Shocking but patterns don’t lie.”

    “We know that the water levels seemed to be higher than they were last summer” Silva said. “It is a significant amount of water flowing throughout some of it in new areas that didn’t flood last year.” tripscan top Matt DeMaria a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque said storms formed in the early afternoon over terrain that was scorched last year by wildfire. The burn scar was unable to absorb a lot of the rain as water quickly ran downhill into the river. Preliminary measurements show the Rio Ruidoso crested at more than 20 feet — a record high if confirmed — and was receding Tuesday evening. Three shelters opened in the Ruidoso area for people who could not return home. https://tripscan.live tripscan top The sight brought back painful memories for Carpenter whose art studio was swept away during a flood last year. Outside the air smelled of gasoline and loud crashes could be heard as the river knocked down trees in its path. “It’s pretty terrifying” she said. Cory State who works at the Downshift Brewing Company welcomed in dozens of residents as the river surged and hail pelted the windows. The house floating by was “just one of the many devastating things about today” he said.

    Full-time staff numbers are down too; as of June the parks service had 12600 full-time employees which is 24 fewer staff than they had at the beginning of the year. трипскан That’s the lowest staffing level in over 20 years according to Kristen Brengel senior vice president of government affairs at the National Parks Conservation Association. https://tripscan.xyz tripscan войти Some parks including Yellowstone have increased their staff this year. But with low staffing levels at other parks unlikely to meaningfully improve this year Kym Hall a former NPS regional director and park superintendent told CNN she worries park rangers and other staff could hit a breaking point later this summer. “By mid-August you’re going to have staff that is so burned out” Hall said. “Somebody is going to make a mistake somebody is going to get hurt. Or you’re going to see visitors engaging with wildlife in a way that they shouldn’t because there aren’t enough people out in the parks to say ‘do not get that close to a grizzly bear that’s on the side of the road; that’s a terrible idea.’” The National Park Service did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on its staffing levels. Meanwhile visitors are arriving in droves. Last year set a new record for recreation visits at nearly 332 million smashing the previous record set in 2016. Hall said the process of hiring thousands of seasonal workers for the summer takes months typically starting in the previous fall or winter to fully staff up. “Even if the parks had permission and even if they had some funding it takes months and months to get a crew of seasonal workers recruited vetted hired boarded into their duty stations trained and ready to serve the public by Memorial Day” Hall said. Compounding the staffing issue is the fact that many park superintendents some of whom oversee the most iconic parks like Yosemite have retired or taken the Trump administration’s deferred resignation offers. That leaves over 100 parks without their chief supervisor Brengel said. And amid the staff losses staffers normally assigned to park programming construction and trail maintenance as well as a cadre of park scientists have been reassigned to visitor services to keep up with the summer season.
