RYAN SEES LONG BATTLE STUDENT KILLED IN VENEZUELA MARCHES OVER TAX REFORM

The United States’ first tax overhaul in decades may not pass Congress until well into 2017, House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Wednesday, in a sign the timetable for the legislation has been pushed back. Revamping the U.S. tax code has become a new legislative test for President Donald Trump after a Republican push to repeal former President Barack Obama’s signature

healthcare law failed last month in a humiliating defeat for the party. Some Republicans in Congress had hoped to pass the tax overhaul before August, but party divisions over the legislation and difficulties in replacing Obamacare have slowed the process.

Venezuelan security forces fired tear gas as demonstrators staged what they billed as the “mother of all marches” against President Nicolas Maduro on Wednesday, and a student caught up in a clash died after being shot in the head. Opposition supporters protested in Caracas and other cities, denouncing Maduro for eroding democracy and plunging the economy into chaos. Crowds

swelled to hundreds of thousands, including Maduro supporters who held a counter-demonstration in the capital at the urging of the president. Carlos Moreno, 18, a student, was on his way to play soccer in Caracas and did not plan to take part in the demonstration when government supporters approached an opposition gathering and fired shots, according to witnesses and a family member.

AMAZON ROLLS OUT CHATBOT TOOLS

Amazon.com Inc.’s chief technology officer is working toward a day when people can control almost any piece of software with their voice.

The company on Wednesday rolled out the technology powering Alexa, its voice assistant that competes with Apple Inc.’s Siri, to developers so they can build chat features into their own apps, CTO Werner Vogels said in an interview. The service, Amazon

Lex, was in a preview phase since late 2016. The move underscores how Amazon is racing to be the top player in voice-controlled computing, after losing out in mobile to Apple and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. Vogels said that Amazon’s headway in processing how humans write and speak would make conversational assistants or “chatbots” more helpful than the clunky tools they’ve been in the past. REUTERS

New Men’s Sex Pill Makes Viagra Obsolete

ADVERTISEMENT

Scientific advance made just for older men.

Works on both men’s physical ability and their desire in bed.

By Harlan S. Waxman Health News Syndicate New York – If you’re like the rest of us guys over 50, you probably already know the truth… Prescription ED pills may work, but they don’t solve all the probems in the bedroom and they are very expensive. Dr. Bassam Damaj, chief scientific officer at the world famous Innovus Pharma Laboratories, explains, “As we get older, we need more help in bed. Not only does our desire fade; but erections can be soft or feeble, one of the main complaints with prescription pills.

Besides, they’re expensive… costing as much as $50.00 each.”

Plus, it does nothing to stimulate your brain to want sex. “I don’t care what you take; if you aren’t interested in sex, you can’t get or keep an erection. It’s physiologically impossible,” said Dr. Damaj.

WORKS ON YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY The new formula takes on erectile problems with a whole new twist. It doesn’t just address the physical problems of getting older; it works on the mental part of sex too.

Unlike the expensive prescriptions, the new pill stimulates your sexual brain chemistry as well, actually helping you regain the passion and burning desire you had for your partner again. So you will want sex with the hunger and stamina of a 25-year-old.

THE BRAIN CONNECTION Vesele® takes off where Viagra® only begins.

Thanks to a discovery made by 3 Nobel-Prize winning scientists, Vesele® has become the first ever patented supplement to harden you and your libido. So you regain your desire as well as the ability to act on it.

In a 16-week clinical study, scientists from the U.S.A. joined forces to prove Nitric Oxide’s effects on the cardio vascular system.

They showed that Nitric Oxide could not only increase your ability to get an erection, it would also work on your brainwaves to stimulate your desire for sex. The results were remarkable and published in the world’s most respected medical journals.

can’t produce enough of it to keep up with demand. Even doctors are having a tough time getting their hands on it. So what’s all the fuss about?

But now, for the first time ever, there’s a pill made just for older men. It’s called Vesele®. A new pill that helps you in bed by stimulating your body and your brainwaves. So Vesele® can work even when nothing else worked before.

The new men’s pill is not a drug. It’s something completely different.

Because you don’t need a prescription for Vesele®, sales are exploding. The maker just

THE SCIENCE The study asked men, 45 to 65 years old to take the main ingredient in Vesele® once a day.

Then they were instructed not to change the way they eat or exercise but to take Vesele® twice a day. What happened next was remarkable.

Virtually every man in the study who took Vesele® twice a day reported a huge difference in their desire for sex. In layman’s terms, they were horny again. They also experienced harder erections that lasted for almost 20 minutes. The placebo controlled group (who received sugar pills) mostly saw no difference.

AN UNEXPECTED BONUS: The study results even showed an impressive increase in the energy, brain-power and memory of the participants.

SUPPLY LIMITED BY OVERWHELMING DEMAND “Once we saw the results we knew we had a game-changer said Dr. Damaj. We get

New men’s pill overwhelms your senses with sexual desire as well as firmer, long-lasting erections.

There’s never been anything like it.

hundreds of calls a day from people begging us for a bottle. It’s been crazy. We try to meet the crushing demand for Vesele®.”

VESELE® PASSED THE TEST “As an expert in the development of sexual dysfunction, I’ve studied the effectiveness of Nitric Oxide on the body and the brain. I’m impressed by the way it increases cerebral and penile blood flow. The result is evident in the creation of Vesele®. It’s sure-fire proof that the mind/body connection is unbeatable when achieving and maintaining an erection and the results are remarkable” said Dr. Damaj.

HERE’S WHAT MEN ARE SAYING • I’m ready to go sexually and mentally.

• More frequent erections at night and in the morning.

• I have seen a change in sexual desire.

• Typically take 1 each morning and 1 each night. Great Stamina, Great Results!

• An increased intensity in orgasms.

• My focus (mental) has really improved…

Huge improvement.

• Amazing orgasms!

• I feel more confident in bed.

Methodist Hospital expanding primary care in S. Philly WRITTEN BY

Amy Smith The value primary care physicians bring to the community is immeasurable.

By cultivating longlasting, sustainable relationships with patients, they play a vital role in prevention, identifying concerns that require a specialist, and maintaining overall health and well-being.

Unfortunately, shortages of primary care doctors across the U.S. represent a signi cant hurdle.

The silver lining

here is that local health care leaders are taking action, dedicating themselves to providing all community members with equal access to primary care physicians. This, in turn, will ease dependence on urgent care centers and emergency rooms to ll the gap.

Methodist Hospital JeͿerson Health understands that having a reliable, highly skilled family doctor at your ngertips is crucial to managing long-term health.

This is precisely why they’re stepping up, responding directly to

South Philadelphia’s physician shortage.

JeͿerson Health is working on the expansion of its primary care physician network in the South Philadelphia area.

JeͿerson Health is partnering with existing community primary care physicians as well as working on expanding the JeͿerson primary care physician presence.

From pediatricians to geriatric care, Methodist Hospital JeͿerson Health is covering the spectrum from A to Z. JeͿerson is providing access to some of the

The newest of these practices is staͿed by Drs. Marie Kairys and Kate McGrath, who provide care for both children and adults.

This, in turn, increases accessibility to vital preventative screenings, allowing patients to be more proactive when it comes to managing their health.

Methodist Hospital JeͿerson Health has been a compassionate community mainstay since 1892, continually leading the pack with cuttingedge technology and forward-thinking approaches to health care. Fostering meaningful patientdoctor relationships is woven into their mission.

In Philly, stoners holiday is accepted but untaxed Pro-marijuana activists hope legalization isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a pipe dream.

SAM NEWHOUSE @scnewhouse

sam.newhouse@metro.us

The high holiday of potheads is upon us. But as pot-smokers celebrate 4/20, the very real push for legal marijuana in Pennsylvania is still an uphill battle.

Medical marijuana is legal in Pennsylvania and inching its way toward reaching the public. But licenses for grow operations and vendors still have not been awarded.

Marijuana activist N.A. Poe says the rules governing medical marijuana in Pennsylvania are too

restrictive. They require a registry of doctors and patients and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide plant-form cannabis to patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All these corporate cannabis conglomerates are coming and have no knowledge of the culture, and I feel like thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to end up falling flat on its face,â&#x20AC;? Poe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These limited cannabis bills have become a new form of prohibition, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alarming.â&#x20AC;?

Poe said he hopes medical marijuana becomes legal in Pennsylvania to help the patients who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t otherwise have access. He also hopes statewide decriminalization bills recently introduced in Harrisburg by state Reps. Ed Gainey and Barry Jozwiak are signs of progress.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;These limited cannabis bills have become a new form of prohibition, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alarming.â&#x20AC;?

Decriminalization passed in October 2014 in Philadelphia. Possession arrests have dropped from 3,773 in 2013 to 594 last year, Philly Weekly reported.

As for medical marijuana, the state is currently considering applicants for 27 dispensary permits, eight of which will be in Philadelphia, and 12 permits for growers, two in

the southeast region that includes Philly.

State Rep. Jordan Harris is pushing for minorityowned companies to get a seat at the table when licenses are awarded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are asking me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why would you even be concerned about that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, Pennsylvania does not have the best track record of including people of color in contracting

or licenses,â&#x20AC;? Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met with these companies to ensure these firms are real majorityminority firms, not playing those games with two-percent ownership so they can get credit for minority participation.â&#x20AC;?

Harris added that job skills associated with the emerging marijuana industry, such as growing cannabis and processing

and extracting THC, will be another benefit and in strong demand in states which have legalized marijuana.

If medical marijuana is a success, full legalization will be the next step, he said.

A legal marijuana industry in Pennsylvania is estimated to bring a taxable $2 billion a year in sales.

A legal loophole will abate Hernandez’s 2015 sentence in Odin Lloyd’s murder.

ERIN TIERNAN @ErinTiernan

erin.tiernan@metro.us

Aaron Hernandez’s suicide will have some dramatic legal ramifications — experts say the former NFL star’s murder conviction for the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd will be vacated.

Hernandez was found guilty of murdering Lloyd in 2015 and sentenced to life in prison. In Massachusetts, convictions of this kind are automatically appealed before the state’s highest court, but because Hernandez died before that appeal could go through, a littleknown legal loophole will get him off postmortem.

“Whenever someone dies during an appeal of their criminal case, the conviction is eventually vacated. The reason for that is, the way the law looks at it, you had an appeal going for you and for all they know, the appeal could have found you innocent,” said Peter Elikann, a Boston criminal-defense lawyer.

The “technicality,” as Elikann puts it, is called the Abatement Doctrine and allows prisoners to quite literally die to get away with murder. If a convicted murderer suffers an untimely death or commits suicide, as in Hernandez’s case, prior to exhausting their appeals, the conviction is automatically vacated.

Hernandez isn’t the first high-profile murderer to have a conviction tossed due to the Abate-

ment Doctrine.

John Salvi, who was convicted of killing two abortion-clinic workers and wounding five others during a shooting spree in Brookline in 1994, had his convictions vacated after killing himself in prison two years later.

The Rev. John Geoghan, a Catholic priest convicted on child molestation charges and known as a key figure in the clergy sex-abuse scandal that mired the Boston Archdiocese, also had his convictions vacated after he was beaten to death in his cell in 2003 at the same Massachusetts maximum-security prison where Hernandez died Wednesday.

But Elikann said the vacating of convictions isn’t looked upon as innocence.

“Even though the conviction is vacated, it’s not really looked at as vindication — it’s a very narrow legal loophole,” he said.

That doesn’t mean it won’t create problems for the family of Hernandez’s victim, Odin Lloyd, said David White, former president of the Massachusetts Bar Association.

Lloyd’s family has filed a wrongful-death suit against Hernandez, and typically when there is a guilty verdict, a plaintiff can use that as evidence in a civil case — called collateral estoppel. Because the former Patriots player’s conviction will be vacated, the family will have to once again prove Hernandez was responsible for Lloyd’s death.

“Now that the conviction will be vacated, the family of Odin Lloyd has lost their collateral-estoppel claim and they will have to start from scratch to prove he is guilty,” White said.

“Whenever someone dies during an appeal of their criminal case, the conviction is eventually vacated …”

Survivalist convicted of murdering state trooper Eric Frein faces the death penalty.

A jury convicted survivalist Eric Frein on Wednesday of murdering a state trooper in a 2014 sniper attack that triggered a massive manhunt. Frein, 33, of Canadensis, Pennsylvania, faces the death penalty for first-degree murder of a law-enforcement officer.

The same jury that convicted him after four hours of deliberations will reconvene on Thursday to hear evidence in the penalty phase of trial at Pike County Courthouse.

“A terrorist with murder in his heart, a plan in his mind and a rifle in his hand, who slithered through the woods,” was how Frein was described by Pike County District Attorney Ray Tonkin in his closing argument.

Frein, who listened impassively, is a survivalist, a person skilled in outdoor living who aims to survive a catastrophe or dramatic event such as nuclear war or revolution.

Frein ambushed state police during a shift change at the Blooming Grove barracks in 2014, killing Corporal Bryon Dickson II, 38, Tonkin said.

Frein then waited to pick off anyone who tried to help Dickson, Tonkin said. Trooper Alex Douglass, 34, was shot and critically wounded as he rushed to Dickson’s side.

The jury found Frein

guilty of Dickson’s murder, the attempted murder of Douglass, and other charges including terrorism.

Among the evidence the jury weighed was a letter that prosecutors said showed he harbored anti-government views and the shooting was aimed at sparking a “revolution.”

“Passing through the crucible of another revolution can get us back the liberties we once had,” said the letter, which prosecutors said Frein wrote to his parents while on the run.

Evidence also included a notebook that prosecutors said Frein kept in which he detailed the night of the ambush.

“Got a shot and took it,” Tonkin said, reading from the book. He added, “Some of the most chilling words you will ever hear.”

Defense lawyer Michael Weinstein did not call any witnesses and in a 10-minute closing argument told jurors what happened that night was a “tragedy of monumental proportions.”

After the shooting, Frein eluded a 48-day manhunt through the dense forests of the Pocono Mountains, about 100 miles north of Philadelphia.

The $11 million manhunt, which landed him on the FBI’s most wanted list and put the community on edge for weeks, ended when he was captured outside an abandoned airplane hangar near Tannersville. REUTERS

Politics, activism join forces at March for Science on Earth Day Demonstration aims to lobby against cuts in funding for research.

KRISTIN TOUSSAINT @kristindakota

kristin.toussaint@metro.us

Saturday’s worldwide March for Science rallies will coincide with Earth Day, and that’s no coincidence. Organizers formed the March for Science political movement to counter President Donald Trump’s efforts to undo many environmental and climate regulations.

The scientific community has increasingly found itself under fire, organizers say. So this year, instead of simply marking a day to celebrate the Earth, they will use the April 22 event to mix politics with activism.

The March for Science will take place in Washington and in more than 500 locations across the globe, including Boston, New York and Philadelphia.

The goal, organizers say, is a nonpartisan effort to shape new policies concerning science and education. In Boston, an academic and research hub, that sentiment has garnered strong support.

“We join together to urge policy, educational, and community leaders to put science at the forefront when making decisions,” said Ashley Ciulla, a co-chairwoman of Boston’s Science March.

Ciulla conducts research at Harvard Medical School and MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer.

“Boston is known as an innovative city where science and scientific

research are paramount, and the enthusiasm and response to the March for Science have been inspiring.”

On the March for Science homepage, there is a sense of urgency behind the message: “In the face of an alarming trend toward discrediting scientific consensus and restricting scientific discovery, we might ask instead: can we afford not to speak out in its defense?”

Still, some critics have urged against speaking out, believing that science “must be free of bias. It must be free of

political passion,” as Joe Funderburk, an entomologist at the University of Florida, told The New ISTOCK York Times.

But Michèle Lamont, a Harvard University professor and the president of the American Sociological Association, said the only opposition she’s

personally heard is from scientists who want the event to be more political.

The ASA is a partner of Washington’s March for Science, and Lamont said she reached out to all the heads of university sociology departments around the county, urging them to participate.

The Boston area has the largest concentration of academic institutions in the country, and many of them “depend on federal dollars for a good part of their activities and research,” she

said. “So the concern here is very high.” As of Wednesday, more than 75,000 people on Facebook have said they planned to attend or were interested in attending Saturday’s event in Boston.

The Philadelphia March for Science starts at 10 a.m. at the south side of City Hall. According to its Facebook event page, 4,600 people said they will attend. The march will start at City Hall, and end at Penn’s Landing Great Plaza.

TRUMP’S 20/20 VISION All right, Democrats, calm down. Have a seat.

Smoke ’em if you’ve got ’em. I’ll grant that these might be giddy times on your side of the aisle, but Donald Trump is not on the run yet.

As much as you may be elated by news of your candidate in Georgia almost walking off with a win in that special election this week — theoretically repudiating the Trump surge; as much as you may be watching the president’s plunging approval rating like election porn; as much as you may have cheered the calamitous collapse of his attempt to repeal Obamacare … you should hold off on the champagne.

Because if you think this president will be cowed by such minor matters, you are sadly mistaken. Indeed, there he was just days ago boasting to a cheering crowd, “No administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days!” That’s not true, of course, but he has seated a new, conservative justice on the Supreme

TOM FOREMAN Opinion

Court. He has conclusively tanked the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership. He’s issued executive orders affecting a wide range of government agencies — a little now and maybe a lot later. And most importantly: He is letting the adults take a little stronger hand in his administration, shoving the ideologues (cough, cough — Steve Bannon) into the corner.

That could foreshadow a considerably more stable, sane, and conventional presidency.

Certainly, President Trump still has a boatload of big issues. His tendency toward screamingly false statements remains a serious problem. His saber-rattling with Syria and North Korea could be dangerous.

And the grumbling of many of the very voters who elected him should not be taken lightly.

Still, history suggests Donald Trump will remain president for the next four years despite Democratic hopes to the contrary. I know, I know, Dems — you still can’t believe this has happened. But word to wise: You need to get over that. Because in my experience, when politicos wallow too long in bitterness, outrage, and self-pity over the last election, all they do is waste time they should be using to brace for the next one. And in case you don’t know it, President Trump has already launched a robust effort — raising money, recruiting campaign experts, rallying allies — to win again in 2020.

Serena Williams is pregnant, OMG. The tennis champion and her fiancĂŠ, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, are expecting a kid. Said kid has been chillinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; uterus for 20 weeks so far, according to her Snapchat.

Williams, 35, and Ohanian, 33, announced their engagement last December and have been dating since 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; shortly after Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unfortunately short fling with Drake. And, according to Refinery29, the tennis pro hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought much about the wedding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

even really gonna think about it until after the tournament,â&#x20AC;? she told reporters during a press conference at the Australian Open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I just keep saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;February, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start looking at the bigger picture of my life.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not that good at math, but it looks like she started looking at the big picture before February.

Williams joins a long line of celebrity women who decided pregnancy was in this year, from BeyoncĂŠ to Amanda Seyfried.

Because procreating is a really cool thing to do!

Man, that baby is going to be talented AF, rich AF and beautiful AF. Like, their child hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even been birthed and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already seething with jealousy. Congratulations to the very happy couple!

Mark Wahlbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wahlburgers is serving Vietnamese inspired fare, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good This spring, Wahlburgers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a chain of restaurants started by brothers Donnie, Mark and Paul â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is adding a few new items to their menu. Just wait for it.

According to a press release, the chain is rolling out a bahn mi burger, â&#x20AC;&#x153;influenced by the traditional Vietnamese sandwich,â&#x20AC;? and features not-famous brother Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe for house-made kimchi, just in time for National Burger month in May! However, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole thing where one of the Wahlberg brothers has a sordid past of assaulting Vietnamese men.

Let me take it back.

The year is 1988. Crack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a drug Whitney Houston would later call â&#x20AC;&#x153;wackâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is making its stateside debut. And Mark Wahlberg, well.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a young Bostonian of 16. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walking down the street with a large wooden stick in his hand, for some reason, and approaches a Vietnamese man, calls him a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vietnam fâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;king sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;t,â&#x20AC;? and then hits the man over with the stick. The man falls

to the ground, unconscious.

Lest you be charmed by that incident, know that mere moments later, he ran into a second Vietnamese man and punched him in the eye. That man, Johnny Trinh, later told the Daily Mail that he forgives Wahlberg for his racially motivated transgression. Wahlberg, for his part, asked for a pardon for the incident (acknowledging it would be helpful as he continues to grow his restaurant business), but later expressed regret for seeking said pardon.

Lots of ups and downs with this one.

So, yeah! This is a horrible, horrible idea that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gotten past the pitch room, like, at all.

Should we call it a tragic irony that his burger chain is now serving a dish that is Vietnameseinspired? Or is it merely an ignorant-ass oversight? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking the latter, no?

The Bahn Mi Burger will be available through Memorial Day, if you can stomach it.

long time.”

So, in summary, Caitlyn Jenner and Kris Jenner had good and frequent sex at least once. They have two children, Kendall, 21, and Kylie, 19, so that means they probably had standard sex at least one other time.

Caitlyn and Kris probably had sex twice

throughout their marriage. Those sexy times produced a model who starred in a tone-deaf Pepsi ad and a young possible sociopath with an affinity for pouring neon yellow highlighters over her head.

If I was Caitlyn Jenner, I’d be wary of sex, too.

Julia Roberts is People’s Most Beautiful Woman You know how Hollywood loves to revel in nostalgia instead of celebrating new things? Well, Julia Roberts — who is arguably most famous for “Erin Brokovich,” a film that came out 17 years ago — has been crowned People’s World’s Most Beautiful Woman for the fifth time.

The 49-year-old, whose latest juicy role is a speaking part in an animated film,

“Smurfs: The Lost Village,” covered the issue for the first time at age 23 in 1991, then returned for the 2000, 2005 and 2010 issues.

I wonder why People’s World’s Most Beautiful Woman is usually a white lady that was considered an icon in the ’90s, but I suppose they’re still patting themselves on the back for featuring Lupita Nyong’o in their 2014 issue.

A lot of other very beautiful people could have nabbed the title.

Hell, it’s so arbitrary that a sentient pile of garbage with hot-pink matte lipstick traced on could be crowned.

Armie Hammer is humongous. He stands at 6-foot-5 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a colossus with a booming baritone voice to match. He sounds big even over the phone. The actor (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lone Ranger,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Man from U.N.C.L.E.â&#x20AC;?) looms over most of the ensemble cast of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free Fire,â&#x20AC;? a dirty, violent, darkly funny action comedy, in which a dozen or so lowlifes congregate in an abandoned, dirty Brighton warehouse to hash out an arms deal.

Admittedly, ropes rarely come up if you live in New York.

You guys really do live a very metropolitan, urban life. You lose touch with a lot of the primitive things that allowed us to develop as a species, to the point where we can build these giant cities.

We used these primitive skills that got us where we are now, and now we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to use them anymore.

Returning to those primitive skills will come in helpful when the world falls apart or thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a zombie apocalypse.

Ropes are one of manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest tools. Humans were using ropes before they used the wheel. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked on so many movie sets and been to so many countries and different cultures.

Everyone uses ropes differently,

whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fishing culture or they live in the mountains and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a climbing culture. Every culture has developed a different language, but ropes are universal. You could sit down and talk to anyone, anywhere about ropes.

Roll into 4/20 with ‘Weediquette’ Welcome to the jungle.

JENNIFER LOGUE @jenniferlogue

jennifer.logue@metro.us

If you’re dying to know all there is to know about marijuana, “Weediquette” on Viceland explores it from every possible angle.

From talks with “potrepreneurs” to parents getting ahold of medical marijuana to treat their child’s cancer, to people who’ve served lengthy prison sentences for marijuana possession, the documentary series is well-researched, intelligent and human.

Its host, Krishna Andavolu, reveals that the show started out as a web series on Vice.com and bloomed into a TV show after a conversation with Viceland’s co-president, Spike Jonze.

“I was telling him about how in the web series, I went to Uruguay to interview the president because they legalized

Andavolu, who comes from a traditional Indian-

what the country’s going through” with weed.

Luckily, after watching the past two seasons of the show, his parents have become much more educated on the subject

and, consequently, more open-minded.

“Now they’re like, ‘It is a totally appropriate medicine in some circumstances and should be researched more. No one

should go to jail for it,’” Andavolu notes. “If you can convince my IndianAmerican parents that pot might not be a bad thing, I think you can convince a lot of people.”

So what can we expect from Season 3? One of the episodes investigates the distribution of marijuana from a legal market to an illegal market.

“In places like California, it’s totally legal and production is sky-high there, but as a result, more pot is flowing into the black market and being shipped across country to [places like] New York. We follow a shipment of illegal weed from California to New York,” he says. “It’s an all-American road trip, just with 45 pounds of pot in the car.”

Just for the record, Andavolu isn’t actually in the vehicle for the trip.

“Legal wouldn’t allow me to do that,” he says.

Season 3 of “Weediquette” premieres on April 19 on Viceland at 10 p.m.

Yesterday, the Museum of the American Revolution (MOAR) officially opened in Philadelphia’s Historic District, encompassing 118,000 square feet of gallery space.

What makes this particular museum so unique is that it goes beyond the stories of our Founding Fathers to acknowledge the contributions of all the individuals who took part in laying our nation’s foundation — including women, slaves and Native Americans.

Now that you can finally experience the museum yourself, here are seven things you can’t miss:

1

There is so much to see in this museum, you’ll be glad for the extra time to take it all in.

Admission is $19 for adults, $17 for college students and active military with ID and $12 for children six and up. Kids 5 and under will be admitted without charge.

What’s so special about it? It’s branded with UStates, when the United States was not yet a reality.

VISIT DENVER

The last fling We’ve got the getaways to make your bachelorette-party weekend one to treasure almost as much as your big day.

Rounding up the bridal party for an out-of-town bachelorette fête is no easy task. Thankfully, there are plenty of chill destinations in the U.S. offering direct flights, tons of bars in a walkable district, cool hotels and yummy brunches.

Denver There are all kinds of highs going on in Colorado’s Mile High city.

Take My 420 Tours’ twohour tutorial in rolling sushi and joints (remember, Colorado’s legal), and extend that high with Twisted Sister Yoga’s Friday-night Ganja Yoga Class. The nearby Art, a Hotel boasts a rooftop bar and eatery with a decadent weekend brunch (cue beignets and bottomless mimosas). Suss out Denver’s craft brews with Denver Microbrew Tour.

Palm Springs Spread out by the pool at the Sparrows Lodge, with a restaurant carved into a barn and plenty of fire pits for roasting s’mores. Whether you like design or drinking, downtown Palm Springs has both, including boozy all-day breakfast (like lychee mimosas) and a bacon bar until 2 p.m. at Cheeky’s and Toucans Tiki Lounge for drag shows and fruity drinks.

Austin Tacos and tunes are the main draws in Austin.

And don’t knock the chain hotels, because inside the recently renovated Hilton Austin downtown is Austin Taco Project, with sweets like churros and strawberry tacos. One block away is bustling Sixth

Street (tons of bars — the better ones are on East instead of West), or skip the tourists and college kids and head to the venues of Red River Street.

When you’ve had enough of the city life, go swimming in Austin’s many watering holes, such as Barton Springs.

Charleston King Street’s cobblestones are cute, but foodies and cocktail snobs love to duck into the many restaurants and bars, from Callie’s wildly popular biscuits (Oprah loves ’em, too) to The Darling Oyster Bar, which opened last year (yes, there’s brunch, with hush puppies). The Vendue is your reasonably priced upscale option. And don’t poke fun at those cheesy carriage rides: Everything’s fun with the girls!

Chicago These days, all the cool bars and restaurants are popping up in the River North district. ACME Hotel’s rates hover just under $200, with the three Bs all under one roof (bakery, bodega and bar). Korean-fused tacos at the ’hood’s year-old Seoul Taco fuels you up for a bar crawl, including a spot at the new spythemed Safe House. Take the gals on an Odyssey brunch cruise with an onboard DJ.

Miami Yesterday’s trend was SoBe — now it’s downtown Miami, where boutique hotels like The Langford (cool pool) and ME Miami (the rooftop Pawn Broker is very glam) opened in the last two years. Dance all night

at downtown clubs like Heart and The Hangar.

At sun-up, tour the graffiti walls and murals of the Wynwood Art District.

Nashville Downtown Nashville’s gone haute with a new slew of bars, restaurants and boutique hotels.

Avoid a rental car by checking into the new and hip SoBro Guest House. A few blocks away, Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge is a must for its honky-tonk music, but check out Bastion in Houston Station for classic cocktails and punches.

New Orleans One of Crescent City’s newest hotels — The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery — has an artsy-urban vibe. Also in the hip Warehouse Arts neighborhood

are spots for sushi (Rock ’n Sake Bar) and charcuterie (Cochon), and the French Quarter is a mile on foot, with its darling jazz clubs and brunch haunts (SoBou).

Atlantic City Jersey’s gaming hub is experiencing a renaissance with revamped hotels, new restaurants and fun bars. Last fall, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City embarked on a $30 million makeover of its Bayview Tower rooms, set to wrap up by June 1, and the buzzworthy restaurant this spring will be Angeline

by Michael Symon, inside Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. It’s set to open May 1. After dinner, throw back some tequila at the hotel’s Gypsy Bar, which hosts live bands on occasion.

If these 3 things go right, Eagles will have a perfect NFL draft The Eagles could have a field day in next week’s NFL draft if the rest of the NFL follows this recipe.

LUKE MILLER @LukeFM7

sports@metro.us

We’ve seen their needs, we’ve targeted players and we’ve won a coin toss, now one week away, let’s spend an article mixing up the perfect draft cocktail for the Birds.

Step 1: Teams go quarterback crazy The more quarterbacks that come off the board before the Eagles walk up to the podium, the better.

The reasons for that are twofold: most obviously, the Eagles are hardly in the market for a quarterback a season removed from drafting Carson Wentz second overall.

And look, even if you believe in drafting the best player available firmly enough that you’d take another quarterback, we have a second reason for you: Outside of Deshaun Watson, no signal callers in this class have a college résumé that reads like a top-10 draft pick. That means the more NFL teams that talk themselves into loving a quarterback in the top half of the first round, the further the true top-10 talent slides down the draft board.

Though probably unlikely, the Eagles would love to find a way to pick up Ohio State’s Marshon Lattimore.

And yes, that means the Browns’ recent flirtations with Mitchell Trubisky are great news, especially considering Cleveland has two selections (courtesy of the Wentz trade) above No. 14. The Browns, 49ers, Jets and Cardinals are all realistic landing spots for a quarterback ahead of the Eagles’ pick, and even the Bears could consider one.

Step 2: Trade up, not down Jamal Adams, Leonard Fournette, Reuben Foster, Derek Barnett, Corey Davis, Mike Williams:

NOTICE OF PUBLIC SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY

that’s a list of players (among others) the Eagles have hosted for predraft private workouts. It’s also a list of players off the board before the Eagles pick in just about every mock draft. Adams and Fournette in particular are often listed going in the first five picks. With only 30 of these visits allowed, why are the Eagles expending such capital on players unlikely to reach them? They plan to trade up.

It’s true, they could also just be doing their due diligence on the best players that might fall to them at 14 under the “as many quarterbacks draft-

ICON SPORTSWIRE VIA GETTY IMAGES

ed as possible” scenario discussed above. But take a look at the recent track record the Eagles have experienced when targeting a specific player and trading up to draft them versus when they’ve let the chips fall as they may.

Start with last season, when the Eagles traded up twice to select Carson Wentz, the quarterback they believed in. So far, they’ve been rewarded with a rookie season above expectations and a trade (for Bradford) that allowed them to recoup the most valuable asset they gave up for Wentz.

and the Eagles cluelessly traded backward and wound up with Marcus Smith.

In 2012, the Eagles moved up three spots to draft Fletcher Cox, and it cost them just fourth and sixth round picks.

Step 3: Corners falling into the Eagles’ lap We don’t mean the Seahawks deciding to send Richard Sherman their way for a seventh-round pick, though that’d be nice.

Cornerback has long been the most touted position in this draft,

but circumstances have conspired such that it doesn’t look like one will be the best player available at the Eagles’ first round pick. Lattimore has tested his way to being the consensus best corner and a top 10 pick. Sidney Jones has torn his Achilles and fallen out of first round consideration. Teez Tabor turned in a terrible combine and pro day that left teams with serious concerns about his long speed.

The group behind Lattimore is shaping into a pack of perhaps as many as 10 corners with second half of Round 1 to Round 2 grades that 10 different analysts could rank 10 different ways.

It’s a likely setup for a run on corners at some point, and that could help or hurt the Eagles depending on when it happens.

It’s very easy to picture six or seven corners going off the board almost in a row, and unless someone the Eagles love happens to slip through, having this happen in the seven picks before the Eagles take the stage in the second round, this could be disastrous and they must be ready to act to prevent it.

Tabor, Jones and others slipping out of the first round may mean the Eagles can pick up a star late. Or it may cause such a run on the position that it leaves them empty handed. This article is all about imagining the former.

Phillies prospect watch: Alfaro, Moniak on fire, Crawford stuck in early slump relatively unknown prospect from Puerto Rico, is hitting .343 through 11 games to start his year.

Rhys Hoskins, 1B, Lehigh Valley The big 24-year-old first baseman has hit three homers and for .297 to start the year, just as he left off after a powerignited campaign last year that made him a household name among Phillies diehards.

Nick Pivetta, P, Lehigh Valley The big right-hander has allowed just one run in 13 innings while earning two wins to kick off 2017 red hot.

Who’s not?

J.P. Crawford is once again struggling in the minor leagues. Will the highly-touted shortstop turn it around and show he can make the leap to the majors? GETTY IMAGES

Here’s a look at who’s hot and who’s not in the Phillies farm system.

EVAN MACY @evan_macy

evan.macy@metro.us

For the fourth straight season, the players not currently playing in the major leagues are more interesting than the ones playing in South Philly for the Phillies.

This isn’t to say that Odubel Herrera, Maikel Franco, Aaron Nola and others aren’t interesting. There are a bevy of important building blocks for future success currently in red pinstripes, but it is clear the Phillies are still a little ways from contending for an NL East crown or World Series.

Here’s a look at the top performing prospects — and a few off to a slow start — through the season’s first two weeks:

Who’s hot?

Jorge Alfaro, C, Lehigh Valley After an injury-shortened but breakout season in the minors last year, the Phillies catcher of the future is playing impressive baseball in Triple-A to start 2017, hitting .350

with a double, triple and homer in 10 games.

Mickey Moniak, OF, Lakewood Philadelphia’s first pick from a year ago is in the South Atlantic League hitting .288 through 14 games as he continues to show he deserves a fast track to the majors. The all-around offensive future star is filling the stat sheet with four steals, 11 RBIs and five extra-base hits so far.

HOME RUNS IN 13 GAMES FOR CLEARWATER’S CORNELOUS RANDOLPH, PHILLY’S 2016 FIRST-ROUND PICK. Scott Kingery, 2B, Reading There is a seeming logjam in middle infield, but that isn’t stopping 22-yearold Kingery, who had an impressive spring and has continued it into the regular season with four home runs in 11 games.

Jesmuel Valentin, 2B, Lehigh Valley Another second baseman is slaying in the minors, as 22-year-old Valentin, a

Nick Williams, OF, Lehigh Valley Williams still can’t seem to find his power stroke.

Touted as a future corner outfielder with an abundance of power, the 23-year-old is hitting .237 with one home run in the early going.

Roman Quinn, OF, Lehigh Valley Another outfielder with lots of potential is struggling, with Quinn’s speedy legs going unused as he’s hit just .227 through 11 games in Triple-A. He has just two stolen bases.

Dylan Cozens, OF, Lehigh Valley The third starting outfielder for the Iron Pigs is also stuck in the mud.

His two home runs are the only bright spot as the intimidating 6-foot-6 Cozens has hit .146 to start the year.

J.P. Crawford, SS, Lehigh Valley The Phils’ top prospect has just four hits in 38 at bats (.105) to start the season. Will he ever break through to the big leagues?

Jake Thompson, P, Lehigh Valley The Iron Pig woes continue into the pitching staff with Thompson — expected to be a future major league hurler — going 0-3 with a 14.90 ERA to open 2017.

metro.us/horoscopes Aries Make a point to pay close attention to what others do and say. The information you gather will help you avoid getting coerced into a no-win situation.

Libra A chance to do something interesting with a close friend, loved one or youngster in your life will give you a boost and offer insight into ways to raise your income.

Taurus Greater stability will be yours if you embrace an offer that comes your way. Don’t hesitate to make a move. Taking on a challenge and working hard will pay off.

Scorpio Don’t share your feelings. Get down to business and do your best to take care of job-related matters with precision. Your reputation relies on finishing what you start.

Gemini Someone will take advantage of you if you are too easygoing. Think hard about what’s being asked of you and if it’s in your best interest. Put your well-being first.

Sagittarius Talks, meetings and interviews will lead to advancement. It’s time to initiate change and use your knowledge, experience and intelligence to go after your goals.

Cancer Domestic alterations will entice you, but make sure you can afford the changes you want to make before you begin. It’s who you are, not what you own that counts.

Capricorn Use your experience to guide you if someone tries to take advantage of you or tempt you to engage in something that isn’t in your best interest.

Leo Don’t dwell on the impossible. Find a way to get along and get things done. Arguing will be a waste of time. Keep the peace.

Aquarius A steady pace will help you get things done. Don’t fret over things you cannot change or the emotional baggage you’ve been carrying around.

Virgo Look for new opportunities. Go for interviews and send out your resume. Meeting with a former co-worker will lead to an interesting proposal.

Pisces Get all your facts straight before you forge ahead. Not everyone will tell the truth.

Choose to work with people who will put in as much effort as you. EUGENIA LAST
