She is charged with possession of criminal proceeds in connection with the fund’s payments, which form part of a wider large‑scale fraud investigation.
Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Pensavo ci fosse qualcosa che non andava in me”: il cruciverba “impossibile” del New York Times Magazine manda nel panico gli enigmisti
Vi ricordate quando a casa sbagliavamo i compiti di matematica e, dopo mille tentativi, finivamo per dire ‘avrà sbagliato il libro’? Agli appassionati lettori del New York Times è accaduto esattamente l’opposto: si sono arrovellati per il cruciverba del 18 aprile senza poter immaginare che dietro potesse esserci un errore. E, invece, c’era. A raccontare quanto accaduto è stato il magazine Vulture. Nel famoso cruciverba del giornale c’era infatti una definizione mancante, la 5 orizzontale. Un errore che rendeva il gioco semplicemente irrisolvibile.
Come racconta anche Rivista Studio, la conferma è arrivata solo in serata, quando il giornale ha ammesso che “il cruciverba nell’edizione cartacea del New York Times Magazine contiene una griglia che non corrisponde agli indizi”. Troppo tardi per i tanti lettori che ormai avevano cominciato a dare la colpa a loro stessi. “Non mi è nemmeno venuto in mente che potesse essere un loro errore, ho semplicemente dato la colpa a me stessa”, ha detto a Vulture Irene Papoulis, ex insegnante di scrittura al Trinity College.
Una reazione simile a quella di Mike McFadden, dal New Jersey: “Pensavo che ci fosse qualcosa che non andava in me, non pensavo che potessero commettere un errore”. Un riflesso quasi automatico davanti a un’istituzione dell’enigmistica come il New York Times, dove l’errore non è contemplato.
E invece, per una volta, l’errore c’era davvero. Una griglia che non corrispondeva agli indizi, probabilmente a causa di un problema tecnico legato al recente redesign della rivista. Risultato: uno dei rarissimi, forse il primo, cruciverba impossibili nella storia della testata.

“I was thinking there was something wrong with me”: the “impossible” crossword puzzle in the New York Times Magazine is sending crossword puzzlers into a panic.
Do you remember when we made mistakes on our math homework at home and, after a thousand attempts, we would end up saying ‘he must have made a mistake with the book’? Exactly the opposite happened to avid readers of the New York Times: they struggled with the crossword puzzle of April 18th without imagining that there could be an error behind it. And, instead, there was. Magazine Vulture told the story of what happened. The famous crossword puzzle in the newspaper actually had a missing definition, the 5th horizontal one. An error that simply made the game unsolvable.
As Rivista Studio also reports, the confirmation only arrived in the evening when the newspaper admitted that “the crossword puzzle in the print edition of the New York Times Magazine contains a grid that does not correspond to the clues.” Too late for many readers who had already begun to blame themselves. “It didn’t even occur to me that it could be their error, I simply blamed myself,” said Irene Papoulis, a former writing teacher at Trinity College, to Vulture.
A similar reaction to that of Mike McFadden, from New Jersey: “I thought there was something wrong with me, I didn’t think they could make a mistake.” A nearly automatic reflection in front of an enigma institution like the New York Times, where mistakes are not contemplated.
And yet, for once, the error really existed. A grid that did not correspond to the clues, probably due to a technical problem related to the recent redesign of the magazine. Result: one of the rarest, perhaps the first, impossible crossword puzzles in the history of the publication.

News Headlines | AI saving businesses up to 1,000 hours a month - report
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
New research from Trinity College Dublin and Microsoft Ireland, detailed in the AI Economy Ireland 2026 report, shows that artificial‑intelligence tools are freeing substantial amounts of time for Irish firms: mid‑sized organisations are saving up to 1,000 hours each month, while large multinationals can gain as many as 5,000 hours. The study found AI adoption is now near‑universal, with 92 % of companies using or planning to use the technology, and seven‑in‑ten senior leaders reporting a reduced workload, one‑third saying AI helps them switch off, and 26 % experiencing less evening and weekend work. Catherine Doyle, General Manager of Microsoft Ireland, highlighted the real value being delivered and urged that the benefits be shared broadly, including closing confidence gaps and supporting SMEs to move from early adoption to full integration. The survey, conducted with senior leaders from 250 Irish organisations between December 2025 and January 2026, used self‑reported time‑saving data and economic modelling to estimate the gains, while noting parallel concerns that roughly 7 % of current jobs—about 200,000 positions—could be displaced in the short‑to‑medium term, according to a separate study by the Economic and Social Research Institute.
