In local news, a historic photo was transformed into a mural. According to the Watauga Democrat, the photo-turned mural is of community members from Junaluska which is estimated to be dated to the 50s. According to the Watauga Democrat, the mural was installed on a building in Junaluska this month. Having this mural put up was a collaborative effort between the Junaluska Heritage Association, members of App State faculty and staff, along with Dr. Chip Thomas, a physician who has worked with the Navajo nation for over 30 years. Thomas, who is also a street artist, helped paint the mural onto the building, which is located at the intersection of Church and Tremont Street.


In state news, the North Carolina Supreme Court has modified several laws regarding voting. According to CBS17, the first change is that the state’s voter ID law has been reinstated, which was passed five years ago. The second change is in regard to voting rights. According to CBS17, the court has decided to end voting rights for felons who “are out of prison but still serving probation or parole.” Finally, the court overturned a gerrymandering decision in the state.


In international news, Ukraine was hit with “the deadliest strike” from Russia. According to the New York Times, a rocket hit an apartment this morning in the center of Ukraine. This attack killed over 20 people and injured dozens more, making it “The deadliest attack”. According to the New York Times, this attack is the first large attack against civilians in over a month.


Now onto sports.

In local professional sports, the Carolina Panthers selected Alabama quarterback Bryce Young With the first pick in the NFL draft. This marked the second time that the Panthers have had the first pick in the NFL draft, and the second time they have used it for the Quarterback position. Following the selection of Cam Newton back in 2011.

Also happening around North Carolina professional sports the Carolina Hurricanes continue their series against the New York Islanders tonight with game 6 of the 1st round. The puck drops at 7 PM. More action also happening in the NHL playoffs is the Bruins and Panthers at 7:30, the Stars and Wild at 9:30, and the Avalanche and Kraken at 10.


The NBA playoffs are also in action this afternoon with the Kings and Warriors facing off at 8, and the Grizzlies and Lakers at 10:30. That's it for me, as always I hope everyone has a great rest of their Friday, then a wonderful weekend.

Great interview, but if I'm being honest felt more like 'why I'm still a Calvinist' than 'Christian'. I respect that Kristen's faith tradition is important to her, and she can obviously share to the level she feels comfortable with and no more, but this was a very intellectual conversation. I'd have appreciated hearing more about Kristen's personal faith in Jesus Himself and why that is not shaken despite the attacks she's endured. leather bomber jackets for men

Aquí tienes un texto de 60 palabras con el ancla plinko chile en estilo de post para foro:

He estado probando plinko chile estos días y la experiencia me sorprendió más de lo que esperaba. El juego es sencillo, pero la tensión mientras la ficha cae entre los pines lo hace muy entretenido. Me gustó que puedes ajustar el riesgo según tu estilo y ver resultados rápidos. Ideal para quienes buscan algo dinámico y sin complicaciones.

As a student, I found this blog really inspiring because it beautifully highlights how communities can preserve their history through meaningful art. C++ Assignment Writing Help has been a lifesaver for me during academic pressure, and just like this mural project, Native Assignment Help Australia also focuses on supporting students with dedication and creativity. The collaborative effort behind this mural—from the Junaluska Heritage Association to App State faculty and Dr. Chip Thomas—shows how impactful teamwork can be. It’s amazing to see history being honoured in such a vibrant and thoughtful way.
