Colorado bride seeks help finding engagement ring made with grandmother’s ashesA new bride in Colorado lost her one-of-a-kind engagement ring and now, she’s asking the community for help finding it.

Lisa Visnosky was married on May 3 in Estes Park, Colorado. While she was getting ready on the day of her wedding, Visnosky took off her engagement ring and set it down on the sink in her dressing room, according to Denver’s KDVR.

Visnosky only realized it had gone missing when her photographer arrived and asked for her accessories, the station reported.

"I enlisted everybody who was there for our wedding, which was all of seven people and then the staff of Della Terra [the venue] and my photographers to look for my engagement ring, but we weren’t able to find it," Visnosky told the station.

The ring is no ordinary piece of jewelry. Visnosky and her husband custom designed the ring with a jeweler. The main stone was made with Visnosky’s grandmother’s ashes, while the stones in the prongs came from a necklace Visnosky’s husband made for her birthday, according to KDVR.

The station reported that the ring is also made with white gold and is a size 4.5/5.

Big Hospital Chains Get Covid Aid, and Buy Up CompetitorsBillions of dollars in Covid aid cushioned financial losses caused by the pandemic at some of the nation’s largest hospital chains. But those bailouts also helped sustain the big chains’ spending sprees as they expanded even more by scooping up weakened competitors and doctors’ practices.

More consolidation by several major hospital systems enhanced their market prowess in many regions of the United States, even as rural hospitals and underserved communities were overwhelmed with Covid patients and struggled to stay afloat.

The buying spree is likely to prompt further debate and scrutiny of the Provider Relief Fund, a package of$178 billion in congressional aid that drew sharp criticism early on for allocating so much to the wealthiest hospital systems, and that had no limits on mergers and acquisitions.

The Biden administration is now weighing which hospitals and health providers will get the remaining $25 billion.

“It was not the intent to be a capital infusion to the largest and most financially stable providers to allow them to simply grow their slice of market share,” said Representative Katie Porter, Democrat of California. She is calling for hearings and for the Federal Trade Commission to review whether the funds were properly used for patient care and operations.

Biden, South Korea's Moon 'deeply concerned' about NKoreaWASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Friday said he and South Korean President Moon Jae-in remain “deeply concerned” about the situation with North Korea, and announced he will deploy a new special envoy to the region to help refocus efforts on pressing Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

Moon, meanwhile, welcomed “America’s return” to the world stage and said both leaders pledged in their meeting to work closely toward denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Biden told a joint news conference with Moon that he was dispatching career diplomat Sung Kim, who previously served as ambassador to South Korea, to serve as the special envoy to the region. Moon said the move by Biden “reflects the firm commitment of the U.S. for exploring diplomacy and its readiness for dialogue with North Korea.”

Biden also announced that the U.S. would vaccinate 550,000 South Korean servicemembers who serve alongside U.S. forces on the peninsula.

This marks the first commitment by the Biden administration for what it plans to do with the 80 million vaccine doses it aims to distribute globally in the next six weeks. Biden has said he hopes to use domestically produced vaccines as a modern-day “arsenal of democracy,” a reference to the U.S. effort to arm allies in World War II. At the same time, the White House has pledged not to attach policy conditions to countries receiving the doses as global vaccine diplomacy heats up.

Moon came to Washington seeking renewed diplomatic urgency by the U.S. on curbing North Korea’s nuclear program, even as the White House signaled that it is taking a longer view on the issue. The two also discussed coordination on vaccine distribution, climate change and regional security concerns spurred by China.
