Video games allow us to let go and play in someone else's world for a while.At the Smithsonian American Art Museum's recent video game convention, one game is getting a lot of attention for combining beautiful graphics with the ugliness of war. The game is called Brukel and it tells the story of World War II through the eyes of someone who lived it.“This whole thing is obviously a labor of love,” one gamer said of Brukel. “It’s obviously very personal to the creator.”The creator is Bob DeSchutter, an award-winning video game developer and a college professor at Miami University. “In the game, you go in there and you have your cellphone with you,” he says. “You can take pictures of everything, and if you take pictures of an object, you hear my grandma talk about it.”De Schutter traveled to Belgium to have his 93-year-old grandmother, Bie Verlinden, narrate this video game. Verlinden is also the game’s hero, and players shoot a camera instead of a gun. It took De Schutter five years of coding to create Brukel, and the finished product has both his critics' and grandma’s approval.“She’s like, ‘Oh, wow! This looks exactly the way it was,’” De Schutter says about his grandmother’s reaction to the video game. “I’m obviously very happy about that.”The game is also gaining positive attention among parents, who say they are happy to have their children play this game. “It’s a different spin from Fortnite, from Madden and all the other games that they play,” says parent Shaunice Morris. “Now, they’re able to play the game and have fun playing the video game, but also learn while in the process.”It's learning that includes life lessons that span countries and cultures, coming from a woman who lived through war and is now able to share her stories across generations through gaming. 1812

Where the Mississippi River nears its end, sits a city that nearly faced its own end.“It’s a different kind of place,” said Louisiana native Hosea LaFleur.Nearly 15 years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans remains a city where the past never strays too far from the present. The storm is still felt by every homeowner here on their homeowners’ insurance bills.After the storm, insurance companies no longer wanted to offer homeowners insurance in parts of Louisiana that were vulnerable to hurricanes. They thought it was a money-loser.So, the state created Citizens Insurance. Initially controversial, it was funded by all the property owners in the state, including people who didn’t live anywhere near the damaged areas.“That certainly was a hard sell for those folks,” said Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon.Louisiana’s Citizens Insurance eventually helped stabilize the insurance market after Katrina and attracted more than 30 new insurance companies to the state. The number of homeowners on Citizens has also since plummeted, from 174,000 in 2008 to about 38,000 today, representing about 0.4 percent of the market there.“The policyholders are contributing fees, as well as the companies writing business contribute fees,” said Joey O’Connor, owner of the O’Connor Insurance Group and president of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of Louisiana.Hosea LaFleur’s coastal home is on Citizens Insurance.“Just fell in love with it,” he said of the home. “Fell in love with the people, the things, the atmosphere.”It’s been hit by hurricanes twice: first Katrina in 2005 and then Gustav, three years later.“Knocked our walls down, everything down,” LaFleur said.Despite the repeated rebuilding, he wouldn’t dream of giving it up.“It's home to us,” LaFleur said. “We love it. We love everything about it.”Robert Allen is an adjunct professor at the School of Professional Advancement at Tulane University. His courses specialize in risk management and threat assessments. “That's going to start adding up,” he said, of rebuilding in vulnerable natural disaster areas. “Who foots the bill at the end of the day? You do. I do. Everybody else does.”Last year, the U.S. experienced 14 separate billion-dollar natural disasters: two hurricanes, two winter storms, eight severe storms, wildfires and a drought.From California wildfires to Midwest floods to coastal hurricanes, Allen said that as some insurance companies pull back from covering some areas, taxpayers will need to figure out if they want to keep footing the rebuilding bill.“At the end of the day is going to come down to money,” he said. “I mean, how much money is being put into that and at what point again do you decide this is enough?”Allen said one idea that’s been floated is to create a federal natural disaster insurance program, similar to the national flood insurance program. Taxpayers everywhere would be responsible for keeping it solvent.“There was talk or there is some kind of undertones about doing that with all hazards threats -- like doing that with the fires and just underwriting some of this stuff,” Allen said.It’s a challenge that taxpayers will have to confront, if they chose to rebuild areas hit over and over again by nature’s fury. 3259

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — A 17-year-old girl is lucky to be alive after a plane crashed through the roof of her home and pinned her against a wall, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said. "This was a day of miracles," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a press conference. 283

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis’ vicar for Rome has tested positive for the coronavirus in the first case of a cardinal close to the pope known to be infected.Cardinal Angelo De Donatis had been in touch with Francis in recent weeks — apparently not in person, however — over the cardinal’s initial decision to close all Rome churches in line with an Italian government shutdown decree.De Donatis reversed himself after Francis intervened, and allowed diocesan churches to remain open for individuals to pray.The pope is technically bishop of Rome, but he delegates the day-to-day running of the diocese to his vicar, De Donatis, 66. The Rome church said De Donatis was in good condition at Rome's Gemelli hospital and was receiving antiviral treatment.The Holy See has said six people have tested positive for the virus in the Vatican, none of them the pope or his closest advisers. 891

WASHINGTON — Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says he "should not have used" the words he used when he said that two Supreme Court justices would "pay the price" for their decisions on an abortion case. Schumer responded Thursday after his Republican colleagues strongly criticized him and after Chief Justice John Roberts said the words were 361
