Evan Stratton, and his three other crew members, set sail Thursday to row across the Atlantic Ocean -- all 3,000 miles of it.“We didn’t know each other seven months ago,” John Fannin, one of the crew members, said. All four of the men are U.S. Veterans.“More people have been and climbed Mount Everest and been in space than they’ve ever rowed an ocean,” Stratton said about the trans-Atlantic ocean row. They work in shifts, three hours rowing and three hours sleeping non-stop or days.“We’re shooting for 40 [days] but really just trying to get there in one piece,” Stratton said.This is all part of the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge, an annual ocean rowing race that starts in the Canary Islands off of the Spanish coast and finishes in Antigua near Puerto Rico. The journey takes at least a month.And this year, the four-man “Fight Oar Die” rowing crew is the only American team to attempt it. This is also the second time in its history an all-Veteran team has attempted it.“They won’t say it because they’re too humble but I’ll brag on them,” Fannin said. “Luke and Evan will be the first U.S. veteran combat wounded to do it.”It’s a physical feat, but one of mental endurance as well.“We’ll be periodically checking in with the rowers throughout,” Shelly Smith-Acu?a, Dean of the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at Denver University, said. Researchers at the school helped the rowers prepare mentally, and are studying them and their journey to better understand resilience.“They’re doing this, again to spread a message about strength and resilience, recovery, and again about facing adversity,” Smith-Acuna said.“We all want to be challenged, we all want to do something great with our lives,” Fannin said.“I think it’s amazing for veterans to go out and showcase what their abilities are,” Amanda Steele, a Veteran Affairs Office Recreation Therapy Supervisor, said. “Overcome that external stigma but also that internal stigma that our veterans face, such as the belief that they’re not able to be successful.”While the four veterans take off on this challenge as part of the rowing team for the nonprofit organization Fight Oar Die, they are also raising awareness for veteran mental health issues.“One of the things in common in the mission is to raise awareness about mental health issues and mental wellness in the veteran community,” Smith-Acuna said. 2396

Consumers around the country are sharing the tales of renting a car to then be accused of stealing it by Florida-based rental car giant, Hertz."Seven hours I was detained," said Dina Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio. Johnson was on her way back from visiting family in Canada last year when border patrol agents told her to pull off to the side and turn off the engine of the rental car she was driving."I'm terrified. Reliving it is unbearable," Johnson said of the moment she learned the car she was driving was stolen. 529

Communities in Louisiana are taking the first steps toward recovery after Hurricane Barry made landfall in the state as a Category 1 storm Saturday before being downgraded to a tropical storm.New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell announced during a news conference Sunday that many staples of city life would soon resume, including public transportation and garbage pick up, while municipal offices would reopen Monday.Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said all state offices would be open Monday, except in three parishes where there are still power outages.Barry -- which weakened to a tropical depression Sunday as it moved slowly north across Louisiana and into Arkansas -- had put Louisiana on high alert for much of the weekend with a threat of epic flooding. Much of that threat failed to materialize. New Orleans, in particular, did not see the catastrophic storm surges that had been feared."I for one, am extremely grateful that the forecasted rains and flooding did not materialize," Edwards said. " This was a storm ... that could have played out very, very differently." 1089

Democrats concluded the second day of opening arguments in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on Thursday.Thursday marked the second of three eight-hour sessions in which House impeachment managers will explain why they feel President Donald Trump should be removed from office.On Wednesday, lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff walked Senators step-by-step through Trump's dealings with Ukraine, in which Trump withheld foreign aid for weeks in the hopes that it would encourage new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open an investigation into one of his political rivals."(The president) does not, under our laws and under our constitution, have a right to use the powers of his office to corruptly solicit foreign aid, prohibited foreign aid, to help his re-election," Schiff said during his remarks Thursday.Watch Thursday's session below:Democrats claim Trump abused the power of his office by withholding military aid to Ukraine — a U.S. ally and a key part of the U.S.'s defense against Russia — in exchange for opening an investigation that would be politically advantageous to Trump.Trump pushed Zelensky to announce that publicly that Ukraine was opening an investigation into Hunter Biden — the son of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden — and his role as a board member for the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma. While he was vice president, Joe Biden pushed for the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma. Obama administration officials maintain Shokin's firing was consistent with the U.S.'s strategy of rooting out corruption in Ukraine. During part of his remarks on Wednesday, Schiff pushed for Republicans to approve witnesses following opening arguments by both sides. "You should want the whole truth to come out. You should want to know about every player in this sordid business. It is within your power to do so," Schiff said.When setting rules for the impeachment trial, Republicans declined to include scheduled time for witnesses. Following opening arguments, senators most vote to approve additional witnesses with a majority vote. The Republican caucus currently holds a 53-47 advantage over the Democrat caucus, meaning four Republican senators would need to break party lines to approve witnesses.The Democrats' opening arguments will continue Friday when the trial resumes at 1 p.m. ET.Alex Hider is a writer for the E.W.
