3 men stranded on a Pacific island were rescued by spelling 'help' with palm leaves

Quick Glance: Rescue of Stranded Mariners Using Palm Leaves

Three sailors were rescued from a remote Pacific Island after being stranded for over a week and using palm leaves to write 'HELP' on the white sand beach, as announced by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The men found themselves stranded on Pikelot Atoll after their boat was damaged during a fishing trip on March 31.

Initiation of the search and rescue operation occurred on April 6 when a family member of the sailors contacted the Joint Rescue Sub-Center (JRSC) Guam due to their absence.

Survival supplies were effectively provided to the stranded sailors until the USCGC Oliver Henry redirected to Pikelot Atoll on April 9 to finalize the rescue operation, according to officials.

Quick Glance: TOWIE Star Encounters Adam Sandler at Exclusive Hotel, Photo Sparks Buzz

The meeting between TOWIE star Amy Childs and Hollywood actor Adam Sandler has caused a stir on social media, with her fans being impressed by the photo.

Amy radiated glamour as usual, flashing a wide smile and sporting the typical sunglasses of a TV star. A casually dressed Adam in a blue hoodie posed for a selfie with the 33-year-old The Only Way Is Essex star. Amy captioned the photo with: "What a moment… I just met @adamsandler, what a lovely guy… totally impressed."

Some critics commented on Adam's appearance that day, with one writing: "Why do the super-rich always look like tramps! Honestly, at least wash your face, darling". Others were simply surprised by the image and could only express their amazement with "omg" comments.

This meeting follows a challenging few weeks at the beginning of the year, as Amy had to take her young son to the hospital twice within a month due to breathing problems. Billy was admitted to the ER on Christmas Day as he had persistent coughing and a high fever. Amy had been looking forward to the first Christmas of Billy and his twin sister Amelia.

Gordon Ramsay's eatery, York & Albany, was taken over by squatters as the celebrity chef was in the process of finalizing a deal with new partners.

A shocking moment revealed an individual barefoot and sprawled on a black leather sofa inside the restaurant surrounded by personal items and waste, including scattered empty wine bottles.

At least six 'professional squatters' - five men and one woman - were identified living inside the restaurant and its adjacent bedrooms.

The squatters went as far as threatening legal action against anyone attempting to evict them from the premises.

Quick Glance: Coffee Origins Revealed: Genome Study Uncovers Ethiopian Roots

Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.

The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.

The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.

Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.

Quick Glance: New York inmates' legal action over solar phenomenon

Prisoners in a New York correctional facility have taken legal action as the state's Department of Corrections announced restrictions that would hinder their observation of the upcoming total solar eclipse next week.

The six individuals incarcerated at Woodbourne Correctional Facility are asserting that preventing them from witnessing this rare astronomical occurrence would infringe upon their religious rights as outlined in the constitution.

The impending solar eclipse is scheduled for Monday afternoon and was last visible in the United States back in 2017. It will not be observable in the country again until 2044.

A representative from the Department of Corrections informed ABC News that they refrain from commenting on ongoing legal matters but emphasized that the lockdown's purpose is to prioritize the "safety" of both the inmates and prison staff.

China is backing away from facial recognition technology — at least in hotels: Chinese officials have told hotels in Beijing and other cities to stop scanning ...

Quick Glance: China Ends Facial Scans at Hotels

Authorities in China are instructing hotels to cease conducting facial recognition scans on guests during check-in, as reported by state media.

This directive is being implemented in various cities to reduce the use of facial scans and avoid potential issues.

Experts caution that facial recognition may deter people from traveling and increase costs for businesses, with a risk of data misuse.

An IT professional highlights technical challenges that China may face due to the extensive number of hotels, surveillance cameras, and databases, potentially leading to system overload.
