Swimmer dies after being bitten by shark at Sydney beach New South Wales (NSW) Police said in a statement Wednesday that emergency services were called to Buchan Point. Malabar where the Little Bay Beach is located at around 4:35 p.m. local time 'after receiving a report that a shark attacked a swimmer in the water.' Four ambulance crews and a rescue helicopter with a critical care doctor and paramedic were dispatched to the area. NSW Ambulance told CNN in a statement. 'Unfortunately. this person had suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of the attack and there was nothing paramedics could do when we arrived on scene.' NSW Ambulance inspector Lucky Phrachanh said. Little Bay Beach and the surrounding beaches have been closed for 24 hours. Randwick City Council said. The council added that it is the first fatal shark attack in Randwick City in recent memory. 'To lose someone to a shark attack like this is chilling. We are all in shock. Our entire community's hearts go out to the family of the victim.' NSW Police said they will be liaising with the Department of Primary Industry to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the swimmer. Australia ranked behind only the United States in the number of unprovoked shark encounters with humans in 2021. according to the Florida Museum's International Shark Attack File. The museum describes 'unprovoked bites' as incidents in which a bite on a human takes place in the shark's natural habitat with no human provocation of the shark. 'Provoked bites' are classified as when a human initiates interaction with a shark in some way. #Sports ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIEcTWEeH-U

Is Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan eyeing the White House? Follow these signs. Years of speculation about Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s political future were hardly put to bed when the term limited Republican announced that he wouldn’t run for U.S. Senate. It is not even the beginning of the end of the chatter — locally and nationally — about Hogan’s future plans. Rumors about potential presidential ambitions have floated around Hogan for nearly his entire time in office. and he flirted with running in the 2020 campaign. And so. with the next presidential election still two years away. it’s probably not even the end of the beginning. Hogan himself has done nothing to tamp down speculation and has clearly held the door open for launching a campaign. But the governor has also done little to tip his hand about his considerations. “In January of 2023. I’ll have plenty of time to think about what the future holds.” Hogan said last week while announcing he won’t challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen. “I think the world’s going to be a different place a year from now.” So The Baltimore Sun consulted with several political experts to mull over just what gearing up for a presidential run might look like. what it takes to build a viable campaign and whether there are any telltale signs that Hogan is positioning himself for higher office. “Hogan” may be a household name in Maryland. but mounting a national campaign... #Sports ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vaVTAb2oBw

Canadian truckers react to Trudeau invoking Emergencies Act: 'He just gained more freedom fighters' OTTAWA. Ontario – Truckers who remained in Ottawa on Monday evening were largely undeterred by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act. felt it was another 'power grab' and said they would continue their protest. One trucker committed to staying opted to resign from his company after he was suspended Monday. 'The more they are trying to put us to the corner. the more we are willing to stand our ground.' another trucker. Edward Martyrosya. told Fox News. WATCH: Canadian truckers have been protesting against COVID 19 mandates in Ottawa since late January. On Monday. Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history. giving the Canadian government temporary power to deal with border blockades and protests. But hours later. right outside Parliament. the convoy continued. Trucker Jan Groen called Trudeau's historic move 'disgusting.' He 'just keeps grabbing more power. digging deeper. and we just want to talk.' Groen told Fox News. Many felt that rather than deterring the truckers. Trudeau had motivated them. 'I think it's wonderful.' trucker Csaba Vizi said of Emergencies Act. 'I'll tell you why: because even more Canadians who have been looking at the whole thing passively from their home. their couch … they might want to wake up and stand up with us.' Trudeau 'just gained more freedom fighters.' Vizi continued. Another trucker. Derek Brouwer. agreed. 'If anything. it makes him look incompetent to do his job.' Brouwer. who's also a farmer. told Fox News. But one trucker told Fox News that he'd be headed back home to Alberta on Tuesday. 'I can't afford to get my truck' and 'all my accounts and stuff seized.' trucker Tim Norton. who had been parked in Ottawa since the convoy began. told Fox News. 'I got too much money tied up that I can't take a chance of losing it all.' the trucker explained. 'Some of these guys can. but I can't.' Canada's Emergencies Act broadens the government's authority to handle what it considers an emergency. allowing it to take action such as suspending rights to assemble and cutting off financial support. Trudeau said the measures would be used to 'strengthen and support law enforcement agencies' wherever needed. He said it was 'about keeping Canadians safe' and stopping 'illegal and dangerous activities.' Other truckers had felt the consequences of their demonstration but were intent on staying. Eric Mueller. for instance. resigned from his job after his company. suspended his contract. registration and insurance after the company received numerous complaints and threats. Vizi told Fox News: 'We are here in large numbers. I'm pretty sure there are going to be some chicken dr ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4adf_j-S40

PSA: Today's 'Wordle' solution depends on which site you use No. you're not going mad. The splintering of Wordle has arrived. As the clock hit midnight around the world on Feb. 14 and a new Wordle refreshed itself on browsers everywhere. players discovered that for the first time. that day's answer wasn't the same word for everyone. (Don't worry — I won't spoil the solution until the end of the post.) This apparent glitch also occurred in my household. where we solve it separately over our morning coffee — when my partner and I both had all five tiles flip green. we compared notes and found that we'd wound up with different answers. both correct. for the first time in over a month of playing. The key thing here is that I'm still playing on the original site. powerlanguage.co.uk. where creator Josh Wardle first uploaded the game. Most players have been migrated automatically to the New York Times website. after the company bought the game from Wardle in a seven figure deal last month — and that group includes my partner. as well as most of the friends in the group chat where we share our results. After losing a 12 day streak when I switched phones. I haven't closed the tab where my current 44 day streak lives. magically refreshing each night at the stroke of 12. (Streaks were. after some brief issues. carried over to the new site. but I am both a huge show off and selectively superstitious. so I've been putting it off as long as I... #Sports ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3jLJTkVlno
