SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — What started as a regular day at an Arizona grocery store has led to a life-long friendship. “We saw him just holding this bill and just kind of wandering around," Stephanie Blackbird said. "He didn’t look well ... He looked lost and I couldn’t walk away, I couldn’t in good conscience walk away without at least checking on this man.”Blackbird, and her husband, met Alan Vandevander at a Whole Foods in Scottsdale, Arizona. They helped him get some food, started up a conversation, then parted ways. But the Blackbirds couldn't get the frail homeless man off their minds. They reconnected with him the next morning and helped him get to a hospital. Vandevander was severely malnourished. “He said, 'I’m glad they found me cause I was in trouble,' ” Blackbird said . After getting to know him, the Blackbirds did some digging and found out Vandevander has quite the story. He served in Vietnam and was awarded a Purple Heart, but he had also been missing for 40 years. His family in Indiana had no idea Vandevander was still alive.“I started looking for him in 1990 and I kept coming across dead ends," said Vandevander's sister, Julie Vandevander. She says she last spoke to her brother in the 80s. “I never ever thought I would hear from my brother again.”The two spoke on the phone just before Christmas for the first time in almost four decades. The Blackbirds have spent the last several weeks helping the man find the care he needs, taking him to hospitals and now the VA. Vandevander's sister hopes to fly to Arizona later this month to reunite with her brother. 1610

Summer might technically be over in Doha, Qatar, but if you were to visit the small, desert nation in the middle of the Persian Gulf this weekend, you would still think it is summer. Temperatures are expected to approach 100 degrees, which is relatively mild compared to the actual summertime temperatures in Qatar. In the summer, temperatures frequently top 110 degrees. Because of the year round extreme heat, and FIFA's mandate that stadiums that host the World Cup be open air, Qatar has been renovating and building stadiums that are both open air and air conditioned. A stream of cold air is funneled at ankle level under the seats. The cold air then travels down the stadium and onto the field. There are also vents at the top of the stadium. The technology relies on the physics of cool air moving downward. According to the Qatar government, the temperature in Khalifa International Stadium can drop to around 70 degrees, when it is nearly 100 degrees outside. Khalifa International Stadium opened in 2017, and was the first of eight stadiums expected to host World Cup games in 2022. A second stadium opened in May. Six more are expected to open by 2022. Next month, Khalifa International Stadium will host the Arabian Gulf Cup, which is a contest between the national teams for five countries. In December, the stadium will then host the FIFA World Cup. "Qatar's hosting of the Arabian Gulf Cup is another opportunity to test the country's event hosting expertise as we continue preparations for the FIFA Club World Cup in December and the FIFA World Cup in 2022," said Saud Al Mohannadi, vice president of the Qatar Football Association and chairman of the Arabian Gulf Cup local organizing committee.Qatar's bid to host the World Cup has not come without controversy. Following Qatar's winning bid, a multi-national investigation looked into how Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 World Cup, among other scandals tied to soccer sanctioning body FIFA. Dozens of FIFA officials were arrested in 2015, and several of whom have since been convicted for corruption. FIFA officials have been blasted by some for ignoring human rights concerns about Qatar, including its lack of a free press, lack of protection of guest workers, and its stance on homosexuality. 2282

Regular nonstop flights between the east coast of Australia and London or New York could soon become a reality.In preparation, Australian airline Qantas has announced three test flights, with 40 people traveling directly from London or New York to Sydney, to see how the human body copes with 19 solid hours of air travel.Qantas previously announced its goal of operating direct flights between London, New York, and three Australian cities -- Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne -- by 2023.The test flights scheduled for October, November and December will move the airline closer to that target and enable Qantas, alongside medical experts, to test the health and wellbeing impacts on passengers and crew.Bjorn Fehrm, an aeronautical and economic analyst at Leeham News, explains to CNN the appeal of the ultra-long-haul flight, as opposed to a more typical two-part journey stopping in Dubai or Singapore.There's no layovers, no extra journeys through customs and no transfer stress, he points out. "You can plan it so you fly over night, and you could arrive to actually have a productive day the next day as well," says Fehrm. "It's going to be businesspeople that fly this way."If the 19-hour flight becomes a reality, it's likely to cost travelers more. "It's cheaper for the airline to do two separate flights," Fehrm says. "But some people are prepared to pay the extra price of that ticket."Before the trials begin later this year, three Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, fresh off the production line, will be flown from Boeing's factory in Seattle to either London or New York.After the test flights -- two from New York, one from London -- the new planes will enter commercial service. Most of the people on board the test flights will be Qantas employees, so seats won't be available for purchase.Researchers from Sydney University's Charles Perkins Centre, Monash University and the Alertness Safety and Productivity Cooperative Research Centre -- a scientific program backed by the Australian government -- will examine the impact of the long flight on those on board.Passengers in the main cabin will wear monitoring devices, and experts from the Charles Perkins Centre will study how their "health, wellbeing and body clock" are impacted by a set of variables that include lighting, food and drink, movement, sleep patterns and inflight entertainment.Monash University scientists will focus on the flight crew, recording their melatonin levels before, during and after the flights, as well as studying brain wave data from electroencephalogram devices worn by the pilots.This information will then be shared with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority "to help inform regulatory requirements associated with ultra-long haul flights," Qantas said in a 2765

Singer R. Kelly was released on a million bond on Monday after pleading not guilty to 10 cases of felony sexual abuse. Kelly was required to pay 10 percent of the million bond. Kelly's attorneys originally said that the singer did not have the funds for bail. Kelly turned himself into authorities on Friday, and spent the weekend in a Cook County, Illinois, jail. Also part of his bail agreement included Kelly turning over his passport. His next hearing is scheduled for March 22. 501

SOUTHPORT, N.C. – A handyman in North Carolina proved persistence is key when it comes to the lottery. William Goins won more than 0,000 with the same set of lottery number he’s been using for the past 13 years.“They’re my lucky numbers,” Goins said. “They just came to me one day while I was filling out the play slip, and I’ve been using them ever since.”Goins’ good luck happened Friday when he stopped by the Tobacco Road Outlet in Southport and bought a Cash 5 ticket for the evening’s drawing, according to the 532
