How to Join the Beta for the USPS ‘Informed Delivery’ App

I'm a big fan of the USPS' "Informed Delivery" option. When you enroll, the USPS will send you daily emails that show all mail and packages you're set to receive that day. (The mail scans arrive in grayscale, address-side only.) If you like to be surprised every time you open your mailbox, it's not the service for you. But for the rest of us, it's a helpful way to keep an eye on the day's incoming mail. Now, the USPS is expanding the feature, working on a dedicated Informed Delivery app. The app will send you push notifications whenever you have new mail and packages on the way, and will let you share the status of packages with other people. If you sent a friend a package, for example, you could pass along the tracking information from within the app.It seems to be a similar experience as...

Diddy trial: Judge delays jury selection due to ‘cold feet’ concerns – National

The final stage of jury selection for the sex-trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs was postponed until early next week ahead of the opening arguments over concerns that some jurors might get “cold feet” before the high-profile case begins. Prosecutors allege that Diddy, 55, used his fame and power at the top of the hip-hop world to sexually abuse women from 2004 to 2024. He pleaded not guilty after his September arrest and has remained held without bail at a federal lockup in Brooklyn.Judge Arun Subramanian granted the defence lawyers’ request to delay the last step in jury selection until Monday, May 12, when both sides will narrow down the pool of 45 potential jurors to 12 and six alternates.Subramanian expressed concern that if jurors were selected before the weekend, they could grow...

The Royals review: Whoever cast Bhumi and Ishaan together needs a raise

Netflix released its original series, The Royals, starring a talented ensemble cast. This 8-episode romantic drama set in the fictional city of Morpur in Rajasthan offers a very casual take on Indian royalty. It follows the new-age recipe of inclusivity and women empowerment, but falls flat in terms of execution. What is Netflix’s The Royals about? The Royals follows the life of Bhumi Pednekar, a budding entrepreneur whose aim is to make royalty available for commoners through Royal B&B. She stumbles across Ishaan Khatter, a soon-to-be king, whose family is in debt after losing his father, Milind Soman. The two collaborate under unusual circumstances while suppressing their true feelings for each other. The series has several subplots to keep the viewer engaged, but they seem borrow...

The Who is saying goodbye once again — but first, the band is embarking on one more tour. The English rock band announced the news of their final tour, titled The Song Is Over Tour, on May 8 and called it the “grand finale of their illustrious six-decade career.”“Every musician’s dream in the early 60’s was to make it big in the US charts. For the Who, that dream came true in 1967 and our lives were changed forever,” lead singer Roger Daltrey said in a statement.“The warmth of the American audiences over the years have been inspirational to me, and reflect the feeling I remember getting after hearing the first rock records coming across the radio.

Healthy diet in childhood can delay onset of menstruation in girls: Study

Eating a diet rich in vegetables, legumes, and whole grains in childhood can delay the onset of menstruation in girls, according to a new study. The findings, published in the journal Human Reproduction remained unaltered by the girls’ body mass index (BMI) or height, both of which have been associated with the earlier onset of periods. The study has implications for health in later life as it is well known that women who started their periods at an early age may be at higher risk for diabetes, obesity, breast cancer, and diseases of the heart and blood vessels. “I think our findings highlight the need for all children and adolescents to have access to healthy meal options and the importance of school-based breakfasts and lunches being based on evidence-based guidelines,” said Holly Har...
