Ennismore Drives Strong Growth across the Americas with new Flagship Signings & Openings
Ennismore, the fastest-growing lifestyle and leisure hospitality company, is delighted to announce four new hotel signings in Mexico and the joining of Balfour Miami Beach to the Morgans Originals collection. These latest additions, which underscore Ennismore's commitment to expanding its presence across the Americas, bring its regional operational and pipeline network to over 70 properties and follow a series of recent major development announcements – including the addition of six all-inclusive resorts in Mexico with the arrival of Rixos to the market; the first Ennismore signing in Jamaica, and the hotly anticipated reopening of Delano Miami Beach. New Signings in Mexico Ennismore is pleased to announce four landmark signings in Mexico: Delano East Cape in Los Cabos, Hyde Mexico City, The Hoxton Mexico City and Mama Shelter Mexico City. Each property marks a significant milestone as the first of its respective brand to launch in Mexico, highlighting the rising demand for distinctive lifestyle hospitality experiences across the country. Amidst the pristine beauty of Mexico's East Cape, Delano will bring its refined sense of luxury, exceptional service and communal energy to 117 guest rooms and 60 branded residences. Opening in 2029, the 100-meter beachfront property will also feature five restaurants and bars, event spaces, a wellness centre and spa. In Mexico City, Hyde - a brand grounded in music, freedom and a sense of discovery - will welcome guests to 215 bohemian-inspired rooms, two restaurants and bars, a wellness area and meeting and event spaces in the heart of Avenue Paseo de La Reforma later this year. Just around the corner, The Hoxton will open in 2028, featuring 80 guestrooms, celebrating the diversity and originality of its new surrounding neighbourhood through art, design, retail and eclectic programming. Bringing a sense of occasion to the everyday, Mama Shelter will offer exuberant interior decoration, homemade, high-quality menus and year-round happenings at the 100-key hotel from late 2025 in one of the city's trendiest and most culturally rich neighbourhoods. Other recent signings in the Americas for Ennismore include Hyde Mazatlan and The Hoxton Nashville. Opening in 2027, Hyde Mazatlan will offer a free-spirited hotel experience on the western coast of Mexico, featuring 150 guest rooms and 22 suites, a pool overlooking the sea, wellness spaces, a restaurant, a lobby lounge and a bar. The Hoxton Nashville, set to open in 2027, will be home to over 200 homey and layered guestrooms, and spaces for guests to lounge with friends, work through the day, or grab a bite to eat at one of the hotel's four food and drink destinations. Balfour Miami Beach joins Morgans Originals Joining Morgans Originals, a collection of one-of-a-kind, independent hotels with an iconic cultural story, Balfour is an Art Deco gem in Miami's upscale South of Fifth enclave. Steps away from the beach and home to Cleo, a Mediterranean-meets-Middle Eastern restaurant, along with SoFi Coffee, a laid-back neighbourhood cafe, and iconic 1940s architecture, this stylish hideaway features 82 thoughtfully designed rooms circling a serene rooftop pool deck. This stylish hideaway is where art, culture, and oceanside living intertwine. Bringing Lifestyle to Home Ownership With over 45 residential projects launched and under development across 20 countries, including the U.S., Spain, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and UAE, Ennismore's expansion in the branded residence market underscores its commitment to redefining lifestyle and bringing its globally renowned brands, including 25hours, Hyde and Rixos, to homeownership. Ennismore has seen significant growth in its branded residences portfolio, which includes the newly signed Mondrian Residences Hallandale Beach , Florida, which comprises 250 luxury condominiums and extensive amenities across 26 floors, including a tennis court, swimming pool, and fitness centre. Six resorts join Ennismore's ALL Inclusive Collection & Rixos set to open in Mexico In April 2025, Ennismore announced that it had entered exclusive negotiations with Royal Holiday Group, which would, once completed (subject to customary regulatory approvals), result in the addition of six all-inclusive resorts with over 1600 rooms to join its ALL Inclusive Collection. The transaction contemplates three resorts in Puerto Vallarta, Cozumel and Cancun, which will undergo renovations and be rebranded as Rixos Hotels, marking the arrival of the world leader in luxury all-inclusive to Mexico. The remaining properties in Cancun, Acapulco, and Ixtapa would remain under the existing brand. These six resorts present an exciting opportunity to expand the group's stronghold in the all-inclusive market, unlocking new avenues in the midscale segment in key destinations. Ennismore's first all-inclusive resort in the Americas opened last year, with the arrival of SLS Playa Mujeres on the palm-fringed, sugar-soft sands of Costa Mujeres. The brand's first all-inclusive resort made its grand entrance with 498 lavishly appointed rooms and suites, each outfitted with its own private balcony, terrace or garden with a swim-out pool. Turning the dial up on culinary artistry, the resort is also home to 18 distinctive restaurants and bars to indulge every taste, mood and occasion. Ennismore lands in Jamaica In partnership with LCH Development Limited, Ennismore will usher in a new era of luxury lifestyle hospitality in Jamaica, with the debut of two brands across three distinctly designed buildings. Two will offer luxury residences and private villas, while the third will be home to a 240-key branded luxury hotel. The partnership marks the arrival of Ennismore on the island. The Icon Returns Delano Miami Beach will reopen in late 2025 following a significant renovation, led in partnership with Cain International. The reimagined hotel will offer 171 guest rooms and suites, including poolside Bungalow Suites and spectacular Penthouse Suites. The property will feature a best-in-class cutting-edge spa and a state-of-the-art wellness studio, as well as a curated mix of dining, cultural and social experiences. The hotel's culinary and social heart pairs a collection of new dining concepts with the return of the revered Rose Bar, set against the backdrop of the original ground-floor pool and a new rooftop pool and amenity deck designed for long afternoons under the sun.

2 inmates accused in killing of convicted murderer at Kern Valley State Prison
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — California prison officials said two inmates attacked and killed another inmate Wednesday afternoon at Kern Valley State Prison in Delano. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said late Wednesday, the attack happened at around 1:41 p.m. and left Timothy Whelan, 56, an inmate serving a sentence for second-degree murder, dead. CDCR officials said two inmates — identified as William A. Nesler III, 43, and Edward R. Holden III, 35 — allegedly attacked Whelan with 'improvised weapons.' Prison staff used chemical agents to stop the attack, officials said in a release. Whelan was treated in a triage area at the prison but was pronounced dead about a half hour after the attack. No KVSP staff or other inmates were injured during the incident. Two improvised weapons were found at the scene, according to officials. Kern Valley State Prison officials are investigating the incident with the Kern County District Attorney's Office. The Kern County Coroner's Office will determine an official cause of death for Whelan. Whelan was serving a sentence of life with the possibility of parole. He was sentenced in Los Angeles County in 2005 for an illegal firearms conviction. Nesler is serving a life sentence of life with a possibility of parole for first-degree murder since 2005 out of Tuolumne County. Holden is also serving a life sentence of life with a possibility for parole out of Solano County. Kern Valley State Prison is located in Delano — about 37 miles — north of Bakersfield. The facility houses more than 3,100 inmates, officials said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Shelter Dog Finds New Home and Sibling After Heartbreaking Viral Clip
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A shelter dog who once broke hearts with his sad return to his kennel after an adventure with a volunteer has finally found his forever home, and the emotional moment has delighted social media users. In a newly released TikTok video shared on Sunday by @juliesaraceno2, Delano, a 2-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier/Boston terrier mix, can be seen wagging his tail as he walks out the shelter for the last time, with the people he now calls family. "[Three] days ago I posted bringing shelter dog Delano back from one of my adventures and how sad he was. After going viral, he got a lot of interest. Today he had his first meet and greet with a potential adopter," reads layover text in the clip. "To the surprise of no one... they loved him. And they made it official. He said his goodbyes to staff. And he left the shelter for the last time. He even gets a new sibling. Go live your best life Delano." From right, Delano is sitting in the back of a car with a leash on. He is also pictured saying his goodbyes to staff at the shelter after adoption. From right, Delano is sitting in the back of a car with a leash on. He is also pictured saying his goodbyes to staff at the shelter after adoption. @juliesaraceno2 and Benton-Franklin Humane Society, Kennewick Julie Saraceno told Newsweek that Delano originally arrived to the Benton-Franklin Humane Society, in Kennewick, Washington, in July of 2024, and was then adopted for seven months but sadly it didn't work out and they returned him in March. "A couple weeks ago, I asked one of the staff members who I should take out on an adventure (I do one per week), and they nominated Delano. He's been looking quite sad in his kennel, so I was more than happy to take him out to cheer him up," Saraceno said. "He literally skipped out of the shelter cause he was so happy for a break! But when we got back, he looked visibly sad. It is the reality of these adventures that they love the break, and it helps them to de-stress, but it's also sad when I have to take them back." The number of animals in shelters is slowly beginning to decline, thanks to an increase in owners choosing to adopt their fur-babies instead of buying them. The number of animals entering shelters in 2024 was around 5.8 million, down from 6.3 million the previous year, according to the American Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Euthanasia rates are also declining, with 607,000 animals euthanized in 2024, compared to 920,000 in 2023. The video quickly went viral on TikTok and it has so far received over 2.9 million views and 562,100 likes on the platform. One user, Kali, commented: "Wait I'm crying at how he was so happy to see a friend in the car his new sibling." Latrice2 said: "Why did I cry when he climbed up there to say good bye." AliceMckenzie wrote: "I'm SOBBING I have been thinking about him since the first video. Him wagging his tail the whole time."

‘Unshrunk' Review: The Toll of the Treatment
For nearly 15 years, Laura Delano was, in her own words, a 'professional psychiatric patient.' She believed she had an incurable psychiatric disease that could be managed only with medication, therapy and the occasional hospitalization. Over the course of her long career as a patient, Ms. Delano was medicated with Seroquel, Geodon, Abilify, Zyprexa, Risperdal, Depakote, Topamax, Lamictal, Klonopin, Ativan, Ambien, Provigil, Prozac, Effexor, Celexa, Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, and lithium. So convinced of her condition was Ms. Delano that if anyone had handed her a memoir like the one she has now written, 'Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance,' she would have been insulted and outraged. Her story begins when she was 13 years old. A competitive squash player and the soon-to-be president of her eighth-grade class, Ms. Delano was brushing her teeth in front of a mirror one evening when she had a harrowing experience: The edges of her vision blurred; she felt a terrifying sense of disembodiment and fragmentation; and the figure in the mirror was no longer recognizable as her. The episode didn't last very long, but it left her with a profound sense of unease. Reflecting on it in bed later that night, Ms. Delano began to see herself from the outside. The view was unsettling. Convinced that her life was all fakery and mindless rule-following, she resolved to escape. What followed was a self-destructive spiral that went far beyond adolescent rebellion. Ms. Delano gives us an unsparing account of her alcoholism, cocaine abuse, eating disorders and episodes of self-harm. In the ninth grade, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and given prescriptions for an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer. Later came an antipsychotic and a drug to help her sleep. If anything, medication accelerated her decline. By age 19, when she was a sophomore at Harvard, she writes, 'I'd morphed from a raw, suffering, lost young woman . . . into a detached, absorbed, empathyless machine.' Ms. Delano marks her eventual turnaround at age 27 to a moment of profound revelation in a Vermont bookstore. That was where she encountered Robert Whitaker's 2010 book, 'Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America.' The question Mr. Whitaker asked was simple: How is it possible that rates of mental illness have skyrocketed in parallel with the development of so many supposedly groundbreaking psychiatric drugs? Mr. Whitaker's book forced Ms. Delano to pose a question that had never before occurred to her. 'What if it wasn't treatment-resistant mental illness that had been sending me ever deeper into the depths of despair and dysfunction, but the treatment itself?'
