Warm but dry weather condition continues _ 021419 - Duration: 1:36.

Hello I'm Michelle Park here with the latest weather update.

With sunny and dry weather conditions continuing here in Korea, more areas have been upgraded

into warnings.

Precipitation is in the forecast in parts of the nation tomorrow.

Pyeongyang will be getting some snow as well, while Beijing can expect a bright sunny Friday.

But the amount is too little to relieve the intense dry condition that we have now,...

less than 1 centimeter of snow will be coming down in the capital and in nearby provinces,

and the southern regions may see light showers.

Let's see how our morning will turn out,...

Seoul will wake up to minus 3 degrees Celsius, while the southern regions get a warmer start

to the day at 6 degrees.

The mercury into the day will rise to 2 degrees in Seoul, Gwangju 7, while Daegu and Gyeongju

hit into the teens.

I'll leave you with the weather conditions around the world.

Royal Uk - Meghan Markle would 'love Valentine's Day Paris trip' – but Harry is off to Norway ALONE - Duration: 2:44.

 But the Duchess of Sussex will be spending her first Valentine's Day married to Prince Harry alone

 Daily Star Online recently reported that Harry will be off to the Arctic Circle on a work trip this Thursday, February 14

 He will visit the Royal Marines base 200 miles inside the Arctic Circle in north Norway to watch over a gruelling winter training session

 But the work trip will mean Meghan won't see her dream come true of spending Valentine's Day with her real life prince in Paris

 The former actress once wrote in her now-closed blog The Tig: "Hook, line and sinker, I am such a sucker for Valentine's Day

 "Without fail, every February 14, I wake up feeling like I'm immersed in a Robert Doisneau photo, waiting with bated breath to be dipped into a kiss

   "This is all happening in black and white, of course. And in Paris, if I had my way

" But the Duchess fittingly added: "But delusions of francophile grandeur aside, Valentine's Day is special wherever you happen to find yourself

" Despite spending the day alone, Meghan will still be expecting something from Harry on Valentine's Day, though

 As she also wrote in her blog: "And in terms of gifts, be it breakfast in bed, a sweet love note, or a single flower, it really is the thought that counts

" And luckily for the pair, Harry is set to return to the UK on the same evening, meaning the pair will still spend what's left of the occasion together

 The romantic day will also be Meghan and Harry's last before they start a family – with the Duchess set to give birth to their first child in spring

 The couple are also set to move into their new home in the grounds of Windsor Castle in March – a month before the baby is reportedly due

I was terrified, but I did it 🌿 JANUARY VLOG - Duration: 16:04.

*for auld lang syne plays on TV*

*singing auld lang syne*

I've got no one to hold hands with!

*music plays*

Tomorrow I go running for the first time with this group I paid for this course quite a few weeks ago

And then I knew it was a couple of days away

so I was looking through my emails like I

"I need to check if they told me anything specific to bring" and I couldn't find any trace of it in my emails at all

I was searching for ages like every keyword I could think of and I could find no trace of me having signed up to this

running thing so

Secretly part of me was like, yay!

I don't have to go! But I wrote to them and double-checked and I had paid for it. I just lost the email. So I

I am going. I'm following my own advice

From my previous video that sometimes what you need to do is exactly what you don't wanna do

I am trying to get myself in a better place in terms of fitness the past couple of years. I think I've got better

I've been more frequently doing yoga at all sorts, and I'm definitely fitter

just in myself and what I can do I know I'm fitter than

previous years

I guess the routine part is something that I struggle with because I'll go a month or two treating my body like crap and then

like now I'm in a great routine and I'm eating great and sleeping great and I feel wonderful and I'm like

How how do I fall off the wagon so badly and how can I avoid that?

Because right now, I feel great it's funny because in school P.E was like

Hell! I would go through a lot to avoid it

I would cry and cry like the night before I hated P.E and drama

P.E slightly more just because it involved me being in shorts

I was already an anxious person being forced to do these things that

I just wasn't, I just wasn't ready for, standing up in front of people and

Performing and it felt humiliating

I know that the answer isn't to just like never faced anything you're afraid of

obviously the exact opposite if you're afraid of something that's gradual exposure to it, but school, I dunno, just wasn't a good

Wasn't a very understanding

environment, I just felt like a pain

Because I couldn't do exactly what they wanted me to do

I just felt like, I was letting everyone down. Maybe things have changed now. I feel like people are a lot more aware of

mental health

anyway

What I was trying to say was it's funny now I'm signing up to go do something

In a group with an instructor it is bringing up a lot of old feelings

honestly, like the thought of getting my trainers on tomorrow and going out with a group of people and stretching and like

Doing something. It's taking me right back there to being that kid

So many emotions stored up from all of that, but I'm proud of myself. Look at me now voluntarily

I'm terrified, but I'm voluntarily going to

You know do some exercise with people. I've paid for this. I'm paying?? To exercise with people, in a group?!

I dunno, it's strange. But um

Good

But I'm still terrified and if I could get out of it right now

I probably would but I've already signed up and paid for it. So

I'm gonna do it. I'm heading out the door to go to my first

running Club

thing

My

Sorry Tucker was making a weird noise. My anxiety is through the roof. I don't want to go. I regret this

Help me. I'm hoping I'll feel completely different afterwards

It wasn't that bad

I didn't talk to anyone though. I said like maybe three words the whole time

I felt like everyone else was talking and making friends and I didn't really say anything but

Hopefully I'll make friends another week but I did it! I'm back from week two and I spoke to someone this time

I spoke to a lady. She was really nice and we're gonna meet up tomorrow. I think to do a run together

Yeah, it was good, we pushed a little bit harder this week and

I got a stitch in my side and I was really feeling it but I managed it and it was okay

I actually prefer running in the cold. I'm a bit nervous about the thought of running in summer

*guitar music plays*

Someone messaged me the other day they got confused in the background of my video

you can see this door with like the bunting tied up on it and a little lock on it and

They asked how I get it out of the room. That's a cupboard. The entrance door

Is there, and exit door. Made myself a little coffee with oat milk. This is my first time trying coffee with oat milk

Normally, I just drink it black

I made a coffee with oat milk in for the workmen that came around to change my boiler the other day and

they threw it away

How cute is this cup? I got it on sale in Sainsbury's. I'd been wanting it for a long time

Uh, Tucker. No.

I'm not holding it out to offer you some coffee. You wouldn't like it. I also got a little pale minty blue one

They were both reduced. I think from like five pounds maybe to two pound fifty

I've got a knife and a screwdriver here because Tucker is really winding me up

*DRAMATIC MUSIC*

No, not really. I love you Tucker. I'm trying to break in to this ancient

Suitcase. I have permission to do this. This is my Nan's it's full of old

photographs and documents from my family history

medals from my

family that served in the war my

nan gave me this to look after and to scan all the photographs and documents and then to put them in like

plastic and protect them and

normally this just sits in her house in a cupboard unlocked like this and because I was taking it she

Closed these locks not this one. This one's fine

I think this just doesn't work

But she closed this without even stopping to think about it and we can't get it open

My nan says it's fine to bust it open that the box itself doesn't have any

significance, so

I'm gonna attempt to break in. I can reach in the side and pull things out with just one side unlocked

But I don't want to risk pulling apart some of these really old documents

I'll get her a better box to store it all in as well afterwards

come on, come on. Yes!

This is so exciting. I am

Sad to think that when I was a kid, or teenager

I probably would have thought it was boring if my nan got out a bunch of photographs of people

I didn't know but I feel completely differently now

I want to know everything I want to preserve everything and I want to find out as much as I can about these people and

It's probably because I'm getting old and thinking about a family myself and everything. These medals

I think we're my (great) aunt Rose's. My nan said that she wore this on her hat. It says ATS because she was part of the

Auxiliary territorial service, which was a women's branch in

Second World War a

Voluntary women's branch. She went to the sick bay for period pain and a bomb was dropped on them

This is her soldiers book this I thought was really interesting. So there's a list here like an itinerary of

Everything she's got how many blouses and skirts and socks and whatnot she had. This is Rose.

Her sister was my Nan's mum and in her honour

My Nan's mum named my nan Iris Rose and then my mom named me Kiera Rose

So we passed the rose down from her. This is iris my great-grandma. This I think is my

great-great

Granddad, no great-great-great Grandad

Royal Air Force certificate of service book

"A very conscientious worker works efficiently without supervision

He has a very pleasant manner and made a very good NCO

He always displays a great initiative all together a thoroughly good man" signed T Bennett

1953. There's lots of little documents like this that are not in great condition and I'm kind of scared to open them up

This is from

1922 it's a birth certificate

I'm gonna work on that for a little bit today and then I might treat myself to an afternoon bath

I like baths any time of day

But there is something really nice about an afternoon bath when you kind of ought to be getting on with

Doing some work or something but, instead you're just in the bath. It feels actually good to me, extra extra good

During the summer when you can hear the birds singing and there's sunshine coming through the window

It's a bit dingy out at the minute

But, though there is something very satisfying as well about having a bath while it's raining and really cold and horrible outside

*BAGPIPES MUSIC PLAYING*

I'm out today for my first bit of running homework. Alex has come with me as my bodyguard

I feel really awkward just being outside in running clothes. My butt feels very exposed

Keep going.

keep going

But there's someone there

So. You're gonna have to get used to running past people

*loud purring*

It's the end of January and I have the lurg I felt like crap the last few days

I've basically eaten my entire vegan kind box in one day

And I'm okay with that

because I'm sick and I deserve it taking a couple of sick days and

doing some photo album arranging

I looked like a crazy person last night because I I spread all my photographs which is like

Must be about six seven hundred photographs

I had them spread all over the floor and then I was going through my Instagram and my phone albums to figure out what dates

Different photos were taken on and I was paper clipping a note with the date on it on the photos and then laying them all down and arranging them by date

Not that anyone would know really but I would know and it would upset me if it wasn't in the right order. So

Yeah, I spent ages doing that Tucker was trying to grab my pen and run off with it

I got a lot done and I enjoyed it and it took my mind off of being ill for a while

It's my running club tomorrow. I don't know if I'm going I didn't go last week

Because I had really bad period pain and I don't want to miss another week, but I don't think I could run right now

my chest and my throat feel so crap, and it's making me feel so tired and drained and I

Just can't imagine running about

Feeling like this. I hope you enjoyed this video

I feel like January it's quite uneventful for me because I mostly sit in the house and worry about my taxes and things

That's my January pretty much. Hopefully the next few months will be a bit more interesting

I'm gonna start releasing some videos about wedding planning as well

I was gonna save it all up till just before the wedding but looking at the footage I've got so far, which isn't a lot

because it's not like

You just suddenly plan something. It's like little drips of, little drips of planning

It's very gradual some of it so I don't have as much footage as I thought

So I'm gonna start doing something with that soon and will properly get into the wedding planning and whatnot

uhh I'm scared. It's not really that long way, really. Thank you so much for watching

I hope you enjoyed it and I'll speak to you again soon. Bye e

I love your bum-bum. It's the best bum-bum

I feel even sicker than when I filmed that video

My throat feels like this big. I wanted to say thank you to my $30 patrons

Thank you to Danielle to Jessa - to Jessema??

to Jessica! And Emma. And Jodie, Kyra Lauren Maria NAT and Shania

Thank you all so much.

I know just want to go to sleep as well. Do you wanna trade places?

That might be fun a video like Freaky Friday style where we swap lives for a day

That would be great because I can just sit around and sleep and lick my bum and eat

Run around crazy every now and again knocking stuff over

Which I've always wanted to do and you get to do all the work

When A Wildfire Obliterated This Family's Home, They Had Nothing Left But Something Was Waiting… - Duration: 6:10.

As the flames rose up the forested Tennessee mountain, the Holmes family knew they would

have to leave their home now or risk losing their lives.

With not a moment to lose, then, they grabbed everything they could and fled to safety.

However, there was one special member of their family that they were unable to take with

them.

The Holmes faced their crisis at the end of November, when wildfires tore through the

forests of Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

The blaze had begun in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and quickly spread due to strong

winds that had been battering the area.

And the speed of the spreading fire was frightening, with flames traveling as fast as 90 miles

per hour.

Authorities investigating the fire, moreover, believe that it was "human caused."

However, the severity of the blaze was also spurred on by the region's worst drought

in almost ten years.

And the resulting flames ripped through 15,000 acres of land, forcing around 14,000 people

to flee their homes and businesses.

"This is the largest fire in the last hundred years of the state of Tennessee," state

Governor Bill Haslam announced during the height of the blaze.

And, understandably, the historic fire had a devastating impact on the area, with 14

people losing their lives and 134 needing hospital care as a result.

In addition, more than 700 buildings were destroyed and at least 2,000 residents left

without power.

Fortunately, almost one week after the fire started, authorities said that the blaze was

42 percent contained.

That was down in part to the work of 700 firefighters who had worked to control the flames, although

the fire was eventually halted with the help of heavy rains.

However, even after the danger had been averted, many people were still unable to return to

their homes.

Among the thousands of people to be evacuated were the Holmes family.

Dad Rob, his wife Amy, their 15-year-old daughter Andrea and baby boy Wyatt fled the flames

to seek refuge in a nearby hotel.

And it all happened so quickly that the family didn't have time to save many of their belongings.

Recalling the panicked scenes, Rob told The Dodo, "All hell broke loose.

The trees snapped and the power lines dangled over our driveway.

We could not get the cars out, and the smoke was so bad our 18-month son Wyatt was having

a hard time breathing."

But luckily the family were able to make it out, just in the nick of time.

"We barely made it out alive.

It was a matter of seconds.

We were jumping over fallen power lines that were zapping, sparks flying, flames getting

closer and we could hardly see through the smoke," Rob added to the Daily Mail.

"We had our four dogs and jumped in a car with our neighbor and just drove for our lives."

And it was lucky they left when they did, as during the morning after the Holmes'

escape they were delivered the devastating blow that their house had burned down to the

ground.

The news was made even harder to swallow given that they hadn't had a chance to save one

of their beloved pets: a pig named Charles.

"There was just no time to go back for Charles, and he is too heavy to have carried," Rob

explained to the Daily Mail after their ordeal.

"My daughter was screaming 'Dad, what about Charles?'

But there was a wall of fire coming over us like a giant tidal wave on either side.

It was like driving through hell.

I couldn't turn back for Charles."

It was only natural, then, that Andrea, who had owned Charles for three years, took the

news of his potential death badly.

"She was inconsolable.

We all felt really bad that we had left Charles.

He is one of the family," Rob admitted to the newspaper.

And the day after the Holmes had fled, Rob returned to their home to survey the damage.

All that was left, however, was a smoking pile of ashes.

The damage to the property and the family's belongings totaled around $275,000.

Even more heartbreaking, though, was the fact their Vietnamese pot-bellied pig Charles was

nowhere to be seen.

Then, somewhere from the scene of utter devastation, Rob heard a small "oink" in the distance.

Following the noise, the father discovered the pig nestled in the mud.

Thankfully, the animal had managed to survive the searing flames by digging himself into

the mud.

And to Rob, his survival was a "miracle."

Indeed, it seems extraordinary that the beautiful beast managed to survive, especially considering

the fact that the fire was so hot it had even melted the alloy wheels on nearby cars.

However, Charles wasn't out of the woods just yet: he was severely dehydrated and suffering

from the effects of smoke inhalation.

As a result, Rob rushed the pig to the University of Tennessee Veterinary Hospital, where the

vets discovered that Charles was also suffering from burned hooves.

Thankfully, in the following week Charles was treated for his burns and dehydration

and made an excellent recovery.

Meanwhile, to cover the expenses of his treatment, the Holmes family set Charles up with a crowdfunding

page.

And it seems as if this little piggy's story had touched the hearts of many.

Within a matter of days, in fact, the page had vastly excelled its modest target of $500,

as kind donators flocked to the site and raised over $4,225.

Heather Middlebrooks, who had set up the crowdfunding page, said that she was "blown away" by

people's generosity.

Meanwhile, Rob himself was in full appreciation of Charles' admirable survival efforts.

"Charles is a warrior," he said to the Daily Mail.

"Out of all this destruction and chaos, Charles has brought some hope and happiness

for people affected by the terrible fires."

And the fact that Charles was able to overcome such extreme conditions to survive has helped

the rest of the Holmes come to terms with losing their home and possessions.

"We lost our home, which was insured, and about $50,000 to $75,000 worth of the contents

which weren't covered.

But we still have each other and our animals: the things that are most important to us,"

Rob added.

Perhaps, then, it's fair to say that those agonizing moments when the family thought

that Charles was dead put things into perspective.

After all, although they had lost their home and most of their belongings, they had refused

to be beaten.

So while to many people, the things they lost seemed like everything, to the Holmes they

still had everything¬ – namely, each other.

11 Amazon Prime Benefits You SHOULD Be Using But AREN'T! - Duration: 7:25.

guys hey it's Adrienne Finch welcome back to my channel and welcome to this

week's episode of tech tip day if you are an Amazon user a frequent Amazon

user and if you have an Amazon Prime membership or even if you don't maybe

this will convince you to get one these are 11 Amazon hacks benefits to your

Prime membership you had no idea that you had number one is that with any

Prime membership you can now get free alcohol delivery in two hours if you're

21 don't even try if you're not so yes you

heard me right not only just alcohol but a lot of other

household items and groceries I have no idea that there was a prime now free

thing cuz I thought it was just prime pantry which cost I think an extra $4.99

a month and you get like grocery delivery which is also cool but you pay

a delivery fee of like $7.99 each time but no there's prime now which is free

to our delivery I had no clue but here's the catch unfortunately prime now is

only in select cities so as you can see here is the list of cities you can check

these by going right to the site or looking right here so yes this is in my

city I'm excited to try if it's not in your city

don't fear even though it is an extra $4.99 a month to add prime pantry the

delivery fee is one flat fee for $7.99 no matter how many groceries you get how

heavy the bags are how full the bags are so at least that is a perk with having

brand pantry you also get free delivery on orders over $40 so the good news is

if you're shopping for groceries you're probably paying more than $40 so you

would get free shipping if you don't want to shell out the extra cash but you

don't have prime now in your city you can also go save in Whole Foods in store

by using the app I believe just the Amazon half or the Amazon Prime app I

don't know I should know that emphasis being Prime now free to our delivery had

no idea next is a little hack to get you some extra money on Amazon earn you some

cash back when you're purchasing things if you choose the no rush shipping

option at checkout which you often find and you're like no why would I do that

if they're both free I'd rather have it quicker well the little catch is that if

you choose no rush shipping you actually get an Amazon credit so you get money

back to your calf through the form of either an instant discount or they

credit your account so it shows up after you place the order maybe that's a

little bit of incentive you choose no rush shipping if you don't

need something very quickly another little secret hidden gem on Amazon is

Amazon's music some of you might know that this exists but what I don't think

I realize is that you get so many free songs so you can just stream from Amazon

Prime no ads you can skip as many times as you want so basically for something

that you typically would pay like $9.99 or more for IE Spotify or Apple music

you can get it bundled right into your Hamazon primes

a que you do have it bundled into your Amazon Prime if you're already a member

I do pay for Amazon Prime but I also pay for Spotify I do love Spotify but I'm

definitely gonna check out Amazon music cuz I did not realize that it was

completely free and just added to your Prime membership these are the things

that I feel like they need to tell you I feel like there are so many more

benefits to prime than we even know that's why I'm making this video next on

a similar note to that if you're paying for extra storage on Google Drive or

iCloud or any other photo storage app stop doing that because with your Amazon

Prime membership you actually have free unlimited photo storage this is blowing

my mind because I have over 20,000 photos on my phone so now I pay $9.99 a

month for my iCloud storage just so I have a terabyte of storage for my phone

my computer all of that I don't need to be paying an extra $10 a month just for

storage if I could just be using that Prime membership and uploading all my

photos and videos there so I'm definitely gonna need to Marie Kondo

that part of my life as in the photo part which I'm actually gonna be posting

a video next week on the decluttering of my camera roll so look out for that but

yes the photo storage you can have access on any device so computer phone

anything next is just a little tip for you there is a Chrome extension called

wiki bye and when you add it to Chrome it'll show you if you are getting the

best deal when you're shopping for something on Amazon so it'll show you if

any other retailers have better deals than Amazon and it'll allow you to see a

side-by-side comparison of prices right from the screen I feel like Amazon

typically has the lowest prices but there definitely are times when

something seems like it's a little bit more expensive than it should be

especially because Amazon does carry a lot of brand-name items now so you don't

really know if you're actually getting a discount but this way with this

extension you can actually see yes I am getting a discount or and it's probably

more worth it to just go into the store even though that's probably never the

case because Amazon delivery is just so nice and cool

okay if you are a student then this one is for you you probably already knew

this but every student with a dot edu email address gets six months of Amazon

Prime for free and then after the six months if you decide to continue in your

membership you get 50% off the membership price and you can cancel at

any time so that's a pretty sweet deal kind of makes me wish I was still a

student but it's okay next on the same note as Prime music and crime photo

storage did you know that prime reading was a thing well I did not know that but

on a similar note to prime music you can actually access several several

best-selling publications for absolutely free on line and the best part about it

is you don't need a Kindle to read these publications so things that you might

pay for magazine subscriptions newspaper subscriptions hardcover books an audible

membership which is funny because that is through Amazon and you can actually

listen to audible channels for free with Prime but just not the actual audiobooks

but I had no idea there's an entire library that you can just read online

for absolutely free why don't they tell us these things this video is just like

making me frustrated cuz I don't realize how many perks I get for paying what I

pay every month the next little tip is to utilize your Amazon wishlist the

reason why I think you should utilize this is because Amazon definitely wants

you to purchase the things on the list meaning they will alert you when things

go on sale from that list or if there are any promotions going on to try to

entice you to buy it so that's actually good news for us because if there's

something you really want but you want to wait and see if there's a price drop

just add it to your wish list and then you notified when the price drops the

next tip is for if you want to reap the benefits of an Amazon Prime card but you

don't want to actually get the card well if you reload an Amazon gift card online

you actually get two percent cashback for doing so so let's say you're gonna

spend a hundred dollars on the Amazon anyway

if you just load an Amazon card online and then use that you get two percent

cashback so that's actually kind of worth it if you use Amazon a lot and

it's a very easy process you've literally just digitally input your

payment method the same way you would normally but for an amazon gift card and

then you use that and last but not least is that Amazon Prime allows you to

donate to charity without even thinking about it so if you want to donate to

charity purchasing something that you would already be purchasing anyway next

time you're going to your amazon homepage go to smile Emmas on dog

instead and shop from there there are nearly a million Charities on there to

choose from and 0.5% of that sale of that purchase will go towards that

charity so without you even paying any extra money you are automatically

donating to charity so I just think that's really cool for something you're

gonna purchase anyway may as well add a little good cause to it so those are my

Amazon tips tricks hacks things you didn't know benefits you didn't know for

tech tip Tuesday this week sorry that these haven't been that consistent I

sometimes don't have a tip and I don't want to force it okay you guys are

probably like you don't stick with anything ever you're right but it's all

for a reason I swear so thanks for watching subscribe if you haven't

already give it a thumbs up if you want to see more videos like this and I'll

see you my next video hey love you so so so much happy Amazon shopping I'll leave

Valerie Reyes' ex admits dumping her body in a suitcase but denies murder, police say - Duration: 7:44.

The first picture has emerged of the man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend and stuffing her body into a suitcase as police say he admitted dumping her remains but has denied murder

Javier Enrique Da Silva Rojas, 24, is accused of murdering Valerie Reyes, also 24, in New Rochelle, New York, before tying her up, stuffing her into a case, then leaving it by the side of a road in Connecticut

Rojas was arrested Tuesday and police say he told them that Reyes died after falling and hitting her head while the pair were having sex

An image taken from his Instagram account shows the pair side by side in a CVS pharmacy almost exactly a year ago

Investigators say Rojas admits he then bound her hands and feet, put packing tape over her mouth, forced her body into a case, and abandoned it

Rojas, an illegal immigrant with joint Venezuelan-Portuguese citizenship who was staying in Queens, was arrested Tuesday after police say he tried to use Reyes' bank card to withdraw $1,000 from an ATM

Reyes was reported missing on January 30 when she failed to turn up for work, before her body was found on February 5

Reyes had reportedly dumped Rojas a week before she went missing, though her mother told police that the pair hadn't been seeing each other for a year, according to the New York Post

A source told CBS that Reyes was 'killed at her residence'.The arrest followed the police investigation of multiple crime scenes, reviewing hundreds of hours of surveillance footage, and interviews multiple potential witnesses, the Greenwich Police Department said in a press release on Tuesday

'New Rochelle Police Detectives accompanied by Greenwich Police Detectives, arrested a suspect in New York who had fraudulently used the ATM card of homicide victim Valerie Reyes

'The arrested individual is also believed to be involved in the death of Valerie.'We are confident that the pursuit of justice for Valerie will be successful and we continue to work with the family to provide closure to this tragedy,' the police statement said

In a press conference on Tuesday Greenwich Police said that de Silva confessed to playing a role in the murder when he was questioned following his arrest

He was described as being cooperative during his interview.The investigation into Reyes' death is ongoing as Capt

Berry said 'there's a lot of loose ends that need to be tied up' during the conference

De Silva was arrested in New York and the U.S.Attorney's office in Manhattan will reportedly handle the prosecution of the crime

Reyes was reported missing after she failed to show up to work on January 29 in New Rochelle, New York and her body was found on February 5 stuffed in a red suitcase

The victim predicted her killing, telling her mother on the phone that she feared she'd be killed on January 28, a day before she disappeared

'She was very scared, very frightened,' Sanchez told The Journal News.'She didn't mention anything or no one specific

She just said, 'I'm scared.I'm paranoid, mommy.I'm getting anxiety attacks, She was having a hard time talking

' Sanchez says she desperately tried to pry for more information, but her daughter refused to specify why she felt that way

Reyes, a Barnes & Noble store clerk, had broken up with her boyfriend five days earlier, according to Sanchez

'I asked her why do you feel this way? Was there someone at your house?' Reyes' mother said

She asked about her daughter's ex-boyfriend but still Reyes told her mother 'no, it wasn't him'

Reyes did however reveal that she didn't feel safe alone in her apartment, and expressed her concern at the murders of young women in the state

'I'm worried someone is going to murder me,' Reyes then allegedly blurted out.Her body was discovered six days later in a red suitcase on the side of a road in a wooded area of wealthy neighborhood Greenwich, Connecticut

It's 10 miles away from the New York border of her Westchester County home.The official cause of Reyes' death has not been confirmed as the autopsy is pending

Police said tips have been pouring in with leads in her horrific and sudden slaying

Police said previously that Reyes did not die at the location where she was found, but they did not know where she was killed

According to The Journal, Reyes had taken her iPad, iPhone, clothes and bed sheets with her when she disappeared

On Thursday a candlelit vigil was held in Reyes' memory and on Tuesday a service is scheduled in New Rochelle

El Chapo Is Behind Bars, but Drugs Still Flow From Mexico The New York Times - Duration: 7:34.

El Chapo Is Behind Bars, but Drugs Still Flow From Mexico The New York Times

[What you need to know to start the day: .]

The conviction this week of the Mexican crime lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera was one of the most visible victories for American law enforcement since the war on drugs began in the 1970s, a triumph over a cartel leader who survived — and thrived — for decades on his business skills, brutal violence and bottomless bribes to Mexican officials.

And yet on Jan. 31, the same day that the trial of Mr. Guzmán — known to the world as El Chapo — ended in a Brooklyn federal courtroom, border officials in Arizona made an announcement: They had just seized the largest load of fentanyl ever found in the United States, a haul that was hidden in a truck carrying cucumbers on its way through the Nogales port of entry, a crossing that Mr. Guzmáns organization, the Sinaloa drug cartel, has traditionally run for years.

The fentanyl seizure — enough for 100 million lethal doses — was a clear signal that even after the hard fought task of convicting Mr. Guzmán on drug conspiracy charges, American federal agents still have far to go in their attempts to dismantle Mexicos infamous cartels. The verdict against the kingpin on Tuesday, may, in the end, have little lasting impact on either Mr. Guzmáns group or the wider effort to stem the flow of drugs into the United States.

Even without its former leader, the Sinaloa cartel is a major threat and maintains among its competitors the most expansive footprint in the United States, according to the Drug Enforcement Administrations most recent assessment of the drug trade. While Mr. Guzmáns guilty verdict disrupted the relationships and smuggling agreements the kingpin forged in his career, federal agents say his empire remains intact and is now being run by his sons and his wily longtime partner, Ismael Zambada García.

Drugs, of course, have never stopped coming across the border. In 2016 and 2017, the years when the crime lord was most recently arrested and sent for prosecution in New York, Mexican heroin production increased by 37 percent and seizures of fentanyl in places like Nogales more than doubled, the D.E.A. has said.

According to the State Department, 90 percent of all cocaine smuggled into the United States still enters the country from Mexico. And global production of cocaine reached a record 1,140 tons in 2016, up 25 percent from the previous year, according to a .

President Trump has suggested that this vast tide of narcotics could be stanched by building a wall along the southwest border, but extensive testimony at Mr. Guzmáns trial — from traffickers themselves — indicated that : Most illegal drug loads cross the border legally at official checkpoints, not in remote stretches where a barrier would stop them.

By any definition, Mr. Guzmáns three month trial was , the culmination of more than a decade of investigative work by American federal prosecutors and law enforcement agents who acted in concert with several foreign governments in Latin America. Like Joseph Valachis congressional testimony in 1963, which revealed to the public the inner workings of the Mafia, Mr. Guzmáns prosecution detailed his cartels operations and demystified an outlaw who for decades enjoyed a kind of folk hero status around the world.

The trial put a big spotlight on the power of the Sinaloa cartel, giving the public insight into how it really operates and functions, said Raymond P. Donovan, the special agent in charge of the D.E.A.s New York office who played a leading role in Mr. Guzmáns final capture. Prior to the trial, people had heard the legend of El Chapo, but now they have the reality: the violence, the manipulations, the drug trafficking — what we, in law enforcement, have known for years.

[El Chapo was convicted. ]

But several security experts said that convicting and imprisoning the kingpin for the most part sends a symbolic message.

Catching Chapo is important because it is a signal but nothing else, said Christian Ehrlich, who works for Riskop, a risk analysis firm in Monterrey, Mexico. In terms of logistics, there may be a superficial change, but these organizations know how to adapt very quickly.

Even before Mr. Guzmáns arrest in 2014 at a hotel in Mazatlán, Mexico, and his eventual recapture in 2016 after a prison break, the approach of hunting for and prosecuting top drug criminals — the so called kingpin strategy — did not halt violence or drug trafficking in the country. In recent years, collaboration between the United States and Mexico succeeded in killing or jailing many of Mexicos best known narco lords, including Mr. Guzmáns cousin, Alfredo Beltrán Leyva, and the heir apparent to his empire, , along with dozens of their lieutenants — all with little measurable effect.

Instead, fragmented groups have battled over smuggling routes and moved into new businesses, leading to a record 33,341 murders in Mexico last year. In the same territory there are small and large organizations, said Eduardo Guerrero, a security expert for Lantia Consultores, a Mexico City based consulting firm. The large try to absorb the small, and the small try to remain independent. This is very unstable.

The American authorities say the Sinaloa cartels most notable current rival is the Jalisco New Generation cartel, which Mr. Guzmán once used as his front line soldiers in a war against another rival group, Los Zetas. After breaking from Mr. Guzmán several years ago, Jalisco New Generation started branching out into activities such as extortion, kidnapping, migrant smuggling — a crime that has a year, government officials say.

The man regarded as the Jalisco leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, is still at large in Mexico, but faces an indictment filed in 2014 in Washington that closely resembles the one used to try Mr. Guzmán. Indeed, the two prosecutors named on El Menchos case file served on Mr. Guzmáns trial team.

In a remarkable — if coincidental — bit of timing, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the president of Mexico, two weeks ago reiterated his administrations reluctance to embrace the kingpin strategy, even as a prosecutor was delivering the governments summation at Mr. Guzmáns trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn.

We havent arrested capos, because that isnt our main function, Mr. López Obrador said at a news conference, referring to cartel bosses. The main function of the government is to guarantee public security. The strategy of operations to arrest capos is over.

Historically, prosecutions of kingpins like El Chapo and El Mencho have done little to affect the viability of their former organizations. In 1997, a federal judge in Houston sentenced Juan García Ábrego, a boss of the Gulf cartel, to 11 life terms in prison. At the time, the lead prosecutor on the case said of the cartel: If its not the end, its near the end. Theyre mortally wounded.

But more than 20 years later, the Gulf cartel remains alive in Matamoros, Mexico, directly across the border from Brownsville, Tex. At least one former prosecutor who worked on the investigation that led to Mr. Garcías indictment said he had no regrets for going after kingpins.

There was a time when they felt invulnerable, impervious, that they were above any kind of sense of justice, the former prosecutor, Kenneth Magidson, said. That sense of imperviousness has been removed from the equation. Not only are they touchable, but weve touched every one of them.

Mr. Donovan, who runs the D.E.A.s New York office, said the capture and prosecution of Mr. Guzmán was the first of its kind because so many law enforcement agencies — the F.B.I., the D.E.A., Homeland Security Investigations — worked together and, with notable exceptions, put their egos aside.

Its the model for how to go after people moving forward, he said.

But some former law enforcement agents wondered why the federal government never sought to leverage the overwhelming evidence it had against Mr. Guzmán to persuade him to cooperate and provide information on the cartels relationships with politicians, bankers and lawyers — or about his former partner, Ismael Zambada, who has never been arrested. Mr. Guzmáns lawyers have said he was never offered a plea deal and might have refused one even if it was offered.

Twenty years ago, the unwritten rule was you dont get anyone at the highest levels to cooperate because its dirty, said Derek Maltz, a former director of the D.E.A.s special operations division.

Mr. Maltz said that extraditing kingpins to the United States was the one thing that works. But he also noted that with the cartels advancements in communications, its increasingly sophisticated financial systems and the role it has played in the opioid crisis, Maybe we should start thinking about creative cooperation deals. The same old ways just arent working that well.

Banks that have laundered cartel money have largely escaped prosecution. In 2012, the United States attorneys office in Brooklyn — the same agency that prosecuted Mr. Guzmán — reached even though it was found to have funneled more than dollar 880 million in drug profits — much of it from the Sinaloa cartel. Under the agreement, H.S.B.C. forfeited more than dollar 1.2 billion, paid dollar 665 million in fines and put in place structural changes to its global operations.

María McFarland Sánchez Moreno, the executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which works to reduce the harms of both drug misuse and drug prohibition, said that while the war on drugs had led to prison terms for kingpins like Mr. Guzman, it had also yielded waste, violence, crime and corruption throughout Latin America.

Latin American leaders have said they want to explore forms of regulation for certain drugs, Ms. Sánchez Moreno said. Thats a conversation they have earned a right to have, and the U.S. should encourage and participate in that conversation.

Mr. Guzmán had his own somewhat fatalistic ideas on the subject in the famous before his final arrest in 2016.

He was asked if he felt responsible for the fact that there are so many drugs in the world.

No, thats false, he said. Because the day I dont exist, its not going to decrease in any way at all.

Will you get a smaller refund? Probably. But are you really paying more in tax? NJ.com - Duration: 4:23.

Will you get a smaller refund? Probably. But are you really paying more in tax? NJ.com

NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

Keep in mind its early in the tax filing season, plus the government shutdown caused some delays in processing returns.

But what about the new tax plan? Wasnt it supposed to give taxpayers a tax cut?

Smaller refunds dont necessarily mean youre paying more in taxes, but those who usually get a large refund check may be in for a rude awakening.

In addition to smaller refunds, the tax preparers we spoke to found some other surprises for taxpayers who were expecting to pay less in tax overall.

But first, why the smaller refunds?

Refund surprises

One of the biggest impacts on your tax situation has nothing to do with changes to deductions and credits.

Updated IRS withholding tables are the biggest culprit leading to smaller refunds.

The tables are used by employers to calculate the tax withheld from an employees paycheck, said Lynn Ebel, director of The Tax Institute at H R Block. "These changes generally resulted in bigger paychecks and less tax withheld starting in February or March, even if you took no action," Ebel said. With less tax withheld throughout the year, it means shrinking refunds because theres less to refund taxpayers when returns are filed. Ebel said anyone who updated their withholding after the IRS made its adjustments can expect the withholding outcome they planned for when completing their W 4. But those who didnt update their W 4 are "most at risk of significant changes to their refund or balance due," Ebel said.

Ifyou usually get a large refund and you planned to use the money to pay down debt or make a down payment on a new car, you could be disappointed. Instead, youve been seeing that money all along.

Of course, that doesnt alleviate the gut punch of a smaller refund if you were expecting one.

In some instances, taxpayers accustomed to modest refunds now have balances due on their 2018 income tax returns, said Neil Becourtney, a certified public accountant and tax partner with CohnReznick in Eatontown. "It appears that the average working stiff with 2018 income about the same for 2017 is in for a decrease in their refund historically received," he said. "If someones net pay went up last winter, they likely equated that to the tax benefit they were reaping from The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act but now they may have buyers remorse." The IRS and the Government Accountability Office previously estimated that nearly five million fewer taxpayers would receive refunds, while another five million would probably owe money when they file their returns.

Case studies

Overall, the tax preparers we spoke to said they havent completed many returns yet. Some are still waiting for 1099s from brokerage houses and other paperwork to come through.

But the returns they have completed show some interesting findings.

Michael Karu, a certified public accountant with Levine, Jacobs Co. in Livingston, said for the two returns he completed so far, both had smaller refunds even though their income was roughly the same.

"It has nothing to do with the law changes and everything to do with the government reducing the withholding tax requirements and people getting a little more each week in their paychecks," Karu said.

Karu, who personally prepares about 400 returns a year while his firm prepares 2,500 each season, shared one of his clients profiles as an example.

It was a single parent with two children filing as Head of Household. Gross income was dollar 95 higher than the year before and taxable income was dollar 4,195 higher, but the parent also had higher credits. Overall, the refund was dollar 773 lower than the year before, but the parent had been receiving more in each paycheck throughout the year, Karu said.

The tax professionals we surveyed said they havent seen any real trends yet, but they are seeing surprises.

"Employees had more take home pay because this was sold as a middle income tax cut, but it doesnt seem to be working out that way," said Cynthia Fusillo, certified public accountant with Lassus Wherley, a subsidiary of Peapack Gladstone Bank, in New Providence. She said shes only completed two returns so far this season.

One was for a 64 year old single filer who lost dollar 15,862 in itemized deductions and dollar 4,050 of an exemption. The taxpayer had a lower adjusted gross income AGI , but taxable income was higher, and he ended up with a dollar 656 higher tax bill.

"In general, it seems that the middle income taxpayers are getting hit harder due to the loss of miscellaneous deductions and [deductions for] state and local taxes over dollar 10,000," Daquila said. She offered this example: An 88 year old widow with identical income in 2017 and 2018. In both years, his gross income was dollar 99,708 and his taxable income was dollar 86,108. But his actual tax for 2018 was dollar 12,075, up dollar 1,117 from 2017s dollar 10,958. Thats a 10.2 percent increase. "The tax increase was due to the elimination of miscellaneous itemized deductions in 2018," she said. Daquila said tax rates may also lead to surprises for some taxpayers. While the rates generally went down, the income ranges for those rates start at a much lower income level, she said. For example, for 2017, the single tax rate of 33 percent was for those with income of dollar 191,651 to dollar 416,700. But for 2018, the 32 percent tax rate starts from dollar 157,501 through dollar 200,000, and its 35 percent for those earning dollar 200,001 to dollar 500,000.

Retired people who take distributions from retirement accounts could also be in for negative surprises.

When you take a distribution from a retirement account, typically, the brokerage house will withhold estimated taxes on the distribution.

"[Retired people] are having less withholding taken out of their retirement distributions and they didnt realize this would happen," said Gail Rosen, a certified public accountant in Martinsville. "Many just considered the impact of the new tax rate tables on wages and didnt consider their retirement income."

Rosen, who prepares nearly 1,000 returns each year, called it "disheartening" when upon completion of their tax return, seniors "owe money or have a significantly smaller refund which they depend on."

"We warned our clients but now they are realizing the reality of the impact on the reduced tax rate tables," she said. Some taxpayers those with higher incomes can expect good news when they file their returns.

"From tax planning that we did and my own personal income tax returns that are substantially completed, many of our clients where income is relatively the same as 2017 will reap an overall tax reduction due to escaping the Alternative Minimum Tax and use of the Section 199A Qualified Business Income QBI deduction," Becourtney said.

The QBI deduction is a 20 percent deduction on certain kinds of income big savings for taxpayers who qualify.

Becourtneynotes that each 1040 filers situation stands on its own based on many variables, including filing status, whether both spouses in a joint filing work, whether they have a business thats eligible for QBI, whether they own or rent and more. Also, because the standard deduction is nearly doubled, many who itemized in the past will now get a bigger benefit from the standard deduction, said Ebel of H R Block. "But those who will continue itemizing could be impacted by the dollar 10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions and will be more likely to have a balance due when they file in 2019," Ebel said. "Homeowners in high tax states will also be more at risk of owing next tax season because of that cap on state and local tax deductions." What can you do? If you dont like what happened with your refund this year, you can take action to help make sure it doesnt happen again by updating your withholding with your employer. throughout 2018 to expect these changes. It even offers a so you can see the optimal withholding for you. Now is the time to make the changes. Dont wait. "Updating a W 4 at the start of the year stretches out the changes over a longer period, so tax season is an opportune time to update a W 4," Ebel said. And if youre taking distributions from retirement accounts, be sure that enough is being withheld for your tax bill.
