Here are the latest snowfall and ice accumulation forecasts for the storm. pic.twitter.com/D6oTJ9bzAq— NWS Eastern Region (@NWSEastern) December 16, 2020 The pandemic is adding new complexities to officials’ preparations, from deciding whether to close testing sites to figuring out how to handle plowing as outdoor dining platforms crowd New York City streets.Still, officials say they don't expect the winter blast to disrupt vaccine distribution.New York City is also preparing its mass transit and school systems for the oncoming snowstorm. The city’s public schools will remote learn Thursday instead of learning in-person. Transit agencies in the area are shifting schedules to accommodate those who must travel.As of Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. ET, the heaviest snow fell in Central Pennsylvania, with Dushore, Pennsylvania, reporting 18.5 inches of snow.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – A critically endangered gorilla that was born at a New Orleans zoo just six days ago has died.The Audubon Zoo says its animal care staff noticed Wednesday evening that the infant western lowland gorilla seemed lethargic and weak in the arms of its mother, 13-year-old Tumani. The young gorilla was transferred to the zoo’s animal hospital, but the veterinarian team could not revive it.The zoo says Tumani is currently being monitored by the veterinary team and the entire troop was given the opportunity to grieve the loss of the infant.The zoo says it took extra precautions leading up to the birth, working with Tumani on maternal training to prepare her to be comfortable with the possibility of staff assisting her with feeding or caring for the infant.“There are many risks involved with gorilla births and unfortunately, it is not unusual for a first-time gorilla mom to lose an offspring,” said Dr. MacLean, Audubon’s Senior Veterinarian, in a press release. “Our veterinary team worked with outside medical experts on site including Species Survival Plan Gorilla Birth Management Team, OB-Gyns, and neonatologist to help us prepare and manage this birth.”The mother and baby initially appeared to be doing very well, according to the zoo. Animal care staff were closely monitoring the infant’s health to ensure that mother and baby received the care needed. The infant reportedly appeared to be feeding and progressing well.The zoo says the cause of death is underdetermined at this time. Initially, officials say it appears that there was a lack of adequate lactation from Tumani to support the infant, but they plan to perform a necropsy to determine cause of death. Results will be available in a few weeks.“We are heartbroken over the loss,” said Ron Forman, Audubon Nature Institute President and CEO. “This has been a work in progress for many years, from the introduction of the new troop members to the announcement of the birth, everyone involved has worked tirelessly. I am incredibly proud of our team. We will continue to contribute to the conservation of this amazing species.”Many gorilla populations have declined or disappeared over the past few decades. Western lowland gorillas have been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as critically endangered, with a population decline of more than 80%, mainly due to illegal hunting, disease, habitat loss, and an increase in poaching. 2457

NORFOLK, Neb. -- Something as simple as going for a walk with family, Troy Bowers doesn’t take for granted, considering he hasn’t been able to do it for years.Bowers broke his ankle multiple times and went through a series of surgeries that caused endless pain.“I was to the point where I was potentially going to lose the lower part of my leg and my foot just because it hurt so bad,” Bowers said.But then a local doctor gave him hope. Dr. Demetrio Aguila III is the founder, CEO and president of Healing Hands of Nebraska.Healing Hands of Nebraska is a medical and surgical practice that focuses primarily on the surgical management of chronic pain. Dr. Aguila says a program called the M25 Program is the heart and soul of their practice – inspired by his time serving as a combat flight surgeon in Afghanistan.“The M25 program is a mechanism by which patients and doctors and communities work together to invest in each other to get the care that they need without causing a financial burden,” Dr. Aguila said.If somebody can’t afford a surgery, the M25 Program gives them the opportunity to pay for their procedure through community service hours. Healing Hands of Nebraska collaborates with multiple organizations where patients can volunteer.“You volunteer your time, and then they call me up, ‘she’s finished all the hours you asked for. Ok, send her over’. We’ll do her surgery… no charge… zero charge.”The M25 Program is what saved the Bowers' family from going into debilitating medical debt.“We were basically bankrupt, and luckily, when we needed it the most, I guess God was looking out for us and Dr. Aguila was willing to help,” Bowers said.Bowers chose the Orphan Grain Train for his community service – a Christian volunteer network that ships donated food, clothing, and medical items to people in need throughout the U.S. and world.“Through I believe like 450 community hours, I was able to have three procedures by Dr. Aguila to finish up my nerve repair. And I don’t even know what that would have cost… thousands, I mean a lot,” Bowers said.But due to his pain, he wasn’t able to do too many hours. So, he asked his church, Grace Lutheran, for help.“We had a group of kids of about 6-12 every week pitching in for about an hour a week, and those service hours really added up,” Grace Lutheran Pastor Chris Asbury said.Every Wednesday, Pastor Asbury and a group of middle schoolers – called Happy Helpers – donated their time to help Bowers.“Them young people helped me walk, and I got to save my leg because of them and other volunteers," Bowers said. "They made that difference.”Every time they volunteered, they prayed that they could be a blessing to the Bowers' family.“As Christ loved us, we love the people around us," Pastor Asbury said. "And we don’t just talk about it, but we find everyday ways to do that. It doesn’t have to be big. Most of the time it’s never newsworthy, but this certainly is.”You may be wondering, how is this all even possible? Well, it’s more simple than you think.“We offer significantly discounted fees for our services here compared to what you would find at other practices because we don’t involve the insurance companies,” Dr. Aguila said.According to Dr. Aguila, patients know exactly what they’re getting into financially when they enter the office. Without insurance involved, there’s no administrative costs for the patient. Dr. Aguila says they can pay everything up front, split up payments over time, or go through the M25 Program.“Last year, two thirds of all individual bankruptcies in the United States were tied to medical debt,” Dr. Aguila said.And of those two thirds of people, Dr. Aguila says three fourths had medical insurance.“We’re gonna work outside the system in order to build a better system that’s fair to patients, that’s transparent,” Dr. Aguila said.When people use the M25 program, Dr. Aguila doesn’t get paid for his professional fees. However, the office says they don’t look at it as a financial hit. Rather, they look at it as a way to give back to the community, calling it medical mission work in their own backyard.“Who loses? Nobody. Who wins? Everyone,” Dr. Aguila said.Now, Bowers can go on with his life, spending time with his family.“Riding horses with my daughter, fishing with my son, we’re doing great.”Dr. Aguila says doctors have reached out from all over the world trying to figure out how they can implement their own program. He says he’d like to see M25 change the conversation about healthcare, restore the doctor-patient relationship, and spur a resurgence of volunteerism in the U.S.“It is my fervent hope, that we will rekindle, reignite in the soul of the American people a desire to volunteer and help their neighbors,” Dr. Aguila said. 4762

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has signed into law Thursday a bill that prohibits the sale of the Confederate flag and other "symbols of hate" at the New York State Fair, and bans the display of those items in public buildings.The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, D-Bronx, Westchester, and "prohibits the state of New York from selling or displaying symbols of hate or any similar image, or tangible personal property, inscribed with such an image unless the image appears in a book, digital medium, museum or serves an educational or historical purpose."According to the bill, a "symbol of hate" is defined as "symbols of white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideology or the Battle Flag of the Confederacy."The bill also empowers the Commissioner of the Department of Agriculture and Markets to prohibit the sale of "symbols of hate" at any other fairs in New York that receive federal, local or state funding."This bill would limit the display of the Confederate flag, as well as other symbols of hate, on or within the grounds of public property, including fairgrounds. Further, it makes clear that New York State will not tolerate racism, exclusion, oppression, and violence through the display of such antagonistic and deeply hurtful symbols," the bill said.Click here to read the full text of the bill.This story was originally published by Anthony Reyes on WKBW in Buffalo, New York. 1407
