Amid treasures on display from Africa, Selemani Sikasabwa feels right home.“My ancestors used some of them,” he said.Selemani is part of the Global Guides program at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia.“I share my own stories,” he said.He’s one of seven guides offering tours of galleries, with exhibits that represent the regions they come from: Africa, the Middle East, along with Mexico and Central America. Some are immigrants, while others are refugees, like Selemani.He fled his home in the Democratic Republic of Congo and spent 19 years in Tanzania as a refugee, before coming to the U.S. five years ago.“I left my country because of the war,” he said. “There’s war in my country.”For the museum, the program offers a chance to back up their collections with real-life experiences.“The more I talk about this, the more it occurs to me that this is kind of a no-brainer,” said Ellen Owens, the Penn Museum’s director of engagement.She said the museum found the Global Guides helped attract 300 more visitors, just in the last three months. Owens added that about a half-dozen other museums have reached out to them--including the Metropolitan Museum in New York City--to learn more about their Global Guides program.“We really wanted people to feel more connected to our objects,” she said. “When objects are so old – 5,000, 7,000 years old -- it's really hard to bridge the gap between now and life now, and life way back then.”The Global Guides program got its start in 2018 in the Mideast Gallery. Last year, they were able to expand the program to other galleries, including the Africa gallery.For Selemani, it’s a chance to talk about things on display from his home country, like one large, curved drum -- a type he’s seen used before.“It’s a big drum,” he said, “and I call that drum a ‘radio station without microphone.’”He calls it that because the sound generated by beating on the drum can travel up to 10 miles, so the drum is used to communicate messages from village to village. It’s a detail that visitors might not realize were it not for Selemani, who feels grateful for the chance to talk about it.“I’m happy in the United States, because I’m free,” he said. “I work any time I want to go to work, and I feel safe where I’m living.”It is a way of living and sharing his home culture in his new home. 2332

A swing act performer fell during a Cirque du Soleil performance Sunday at the Bellagio hotel-casino in Las Vegas. The artist was part of the Russian swing act of "O," according to Ann Paladie, a spokesperson for the entertainment group. The show was stopped as a precaution measure while an emergency team brought the artist backstage following the show's response protocol. No immediate word was released to the extent of his injuries. However, Paladie said the artist would continue to be monitored by the medical and coaching teams to determine when he can return to his activities. The water-themed show is known to be one Cirque du Soleil's top-selling shows and has been a permanent residence at the Bellagio since 1998. 740

Americans may find themselves missing an agency they usually love to hate if the government shutdown persists: the Internal Revenue Service.A protracted fight between President Donald Trump and Democratic congressional leaders to fund the government could delay payouts of tax refunds to millions of Americans who are owed money.The country's tax collector is among the federal agencies affected by the government shutdown, now in its second week.The IRS is currently working under non-filing season shutdown plans and will be updating it ahead of the upcoming tax season as soon as Friday, according to a person familiar with the matter.The possibility of a lengthy stalemate could complicate this year's tax season, the first under the new law passed by Congress in 2017.During a shutdown, the IRS typically doesn't perform audits, pay refunds or offer assistance to taxpayers if they have questions, especially outside of the filing season. And while some of the lights may still be on in the building, the agency is currently operating with only 12.5% of its workforce, or fewer than 10,000 federal employees."It does throw a little bit of wrench into things," said Kyle Pomerleau, economist at the Tax Foundation. "To the extent that individuals are relying on the refund any delay is going to be a negative."Tax filing season usually begins in mid-January, and if the shutdown is resolved by then it may have little lasting impact on taxpayers. The IRS has yet to announce when individuals and businesses can begin submitting their income tax returns.But any gap in individuals not receiving money they're owed will only intensify pressure on Trump and lawmakers to strike a deal quickly.Many consider it a major financial windfall that they use to help cover costly expenses or boost their yearly savings. Those who need the refunds the most are also usually among the first to file during the January to April tax season.The political impasse comes at a time when there was already going to be additional complexity as individuals and corporations wrestle for the first time with new tax law changes."This filing season was always going to be challenging," said Pomerleau. "The IRS was still figuring that out. Individuals were still figuring that out even with the full funding."The agency received two years of funding to implement the new tax law, so some of those activities including devising worksheets and tax forms along with instructions and publications have continued.But businesses can't call the agency for advice on changes, said Alice Jacobsohn at the American Payroll Association. That includes questions about how the new tax law may have changed things for this year's W-2 forms, which they must send out by the end of January.For now, individuals who call the IRS with questions are greeted with an automated message: "Welcome to the IRS. Live telephone assistance is not available at this time. Normal operations will resume as soon as possible." 2986

Amazon wants to reduce its carbon footprint and give customers more control over when they receive their packages. The company found a way to achieve both in one new program.Starting Tuesday, all Prime members in the United States will be able to select a particular day to receive a week's worth of Amazon deliveries. After a Prime member enrolls in the "Amazon Day" service, Amazon will hold everything they order throughout the week, and it will deliver the items together on the customer's selected day. Amazon's new feature could persuade customers who place multiple orders a week to receive them all together. The company said that could reduce the amount of shipping materials. It may also reduce the number of stops Amazon deliverers need to make.By 2030, Amazon wants half of its shipments to be carbon neutral. The company says Amazon Day will help it achieve that goal: The delivery option has already eliminated tens of thousands of boxes since testing the feature in November, according to Maria Renz, Amazon's vice president of delivery experience.Amazon also recently introduced frustration free packaging designed to produce less waste and has invested in solar and wind farms.Greenpeace has 1252

A woman is in custody and a toddler is missing from Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, after the child's father said a rideshare driver abducted his daughter on Saturday evening, according to police documents and a news release.Paul Johnson said he was riding in a car with Lyft and Uber stickers with his daughter and a friend, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Allegheny County police.Johnson said that when he got out of the car and went to get his daughter out of the car seat, the driver drove away with the toddler, the complaint said. The complaint didn't identify the child, but a police news release said she is named Nalani.Johnson told detectives he tried calling the driver's cellphone multiple times but she never picked up, so he called 911 around 5 p.m. ET.Police arrested driver Sharena Nancy, 25, in the vehicle during a traffic stop around 7:30 p.m. ET, but did not find the child inside, the complaint said.According to the complaint, Nancy told detectives that Johnson sold the child to an individual for ,000 and asked her to complete the dropoff.Nancy said he showed her a photo of a black woman she was supposed to meet and asked her to drive the toddler "20 minutes" from a gas station in Monroeville along US Route 22 to meet the woman, the complaint says.Nancy said she was told the woman would then "flag" her down and Nancy was to turn over the toddler, the complaint says.Nancy told detectives she encountered a silver SUV with out-of-state plates parked on the side of the road and did as she had been instructed -- passing the toddler and the carseat over to a woman standing next to the car and then driving off. Nancy told police she also saw a second woman inside the SUV.Nancy said she then drove around, smoked cigarettes and talked on the phone with her husband, the complaint said.Nancy, who is being held without bail at the Allegheny County jail, was arraigned on Monday after being charged with kidnapping of a minor, interference with custody of children and concealment of whereabouts of a child. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 16.CNN was unable to identify or reach an attorney for Nancy.Nalani's grandmother, Taji Walsh, told 2210
