Good evening. Here’s the latest. |

1. China called for calm on all sides as North Korea intensified its saber-rattling ahead of its founder’s day celebrations, and a United States Navy strike group approached the region. |
The North said on Friday that it could annihilate American military bases in South Korea “within minutes,” and that it would test a nuclear weapon any time it pleases. |
The warnings came as Vice President Mike Pence prepared to leave for South Korea, the start of a 10-day tour of the region with the North expected to be a major topic. |

2. Dozens of Islamic State fighters were killed, three cave hide-outs were destroyed, and local Afghans said the blast was felt as far as 10 miles away. |
That was the assessment a day after the U.S. military dropped a 10-ton explosive, referred to as the “mother of all bombs,” on an Islamic State stronghold in eastern Afghanistan. |
The commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan defended the bombing: “It was the right time to use it tactically against the right target on the battlefield.” |

3. There’s a learning curve for every new president. For President Trump, that curve has affected his stances on issues as varied as Russia, North Korea and the Export-Import Bank. |
We look at several of the president’s policy reversals from the past week, in his own words. |
Still, the confidence Mr. Trump’s supporters have in him means that many conservatives do not think he will suffer if he abandons some of his stances. |

4. Turkey‘s voters will decide on Sunday whether to expand the constitutional powers of the president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. |
Is the proposal a necessary means of quelling the country’s many crises, or a power grab that would sound the death knell for Turkish democracy? |
We spoke with Turks living overseas and found a deep sense of pending change and worry over where Turkey was headed — wherever that might be. |

5. The siege is over, but the debate rages on. |
A year after militia leaders seized a national wildlife refuge in rural Oregon, arguing that the government had too much control of land in the West, a fight over what and whom public lands are for continues. |

6. Choate Rosemary Hall, an elite Connecticut boarding school whose alumni include President John F. Kennedy, revealed that at least 12 former teachers sexually molested — and, in at least one case, raped — students in a series of cases dating back to the 1960s. |
Choate is the latest in a string of prestigious private academies in the U.S. to face accusations of sexual abuse by faculty members. |

7. Social media giveth, social media taketh away. |
New technology has given companies amazing access to consumers, but it has also exposed them to new risks, as United Airlines was reminded this week. |
“One tweet, just one dangerous tweet,” a reputation strategist said, “can really impact your share price.” |

8. A baby or your money back? |
In the high-stakes casino of fertility treatment, some are paying clinics large sums of money upfront for the promise of pregnancy — or a refund. |
“We’d dealt with so much heartbreak,” a mother said, “and I’ve never been happier to make a bet and be proven wrong.” |

9. The N.B.A. playoffs are upon us. |
Will the Cavaliers and Warriors meet in the finals for the third year in a row? Who will win the superstar battle between Russell Westbrook and James Harden? Here’s what we think. |
_____ |
Craig Lee for The New York Times |
10. Finally, don’t stress over what to cook. Amanda Hesser’s chicken with Coke and lemon, unearthed from the archives, is worth your time. |
In fact, don’t stress about anything. Here’s are some recommendations on what to watch, listen to and more this weekend. Enjoy. |
