The Missouri State Highway Patrol has issued an endangered person advisory for a missing St. Louis woman possibly headed to Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

According to the highway patrol, Jessica Nole, 23, left a group home on West Pine in St. Louis on Feb. 21 to walk to Schnucks on Lindell Blvd. They say she talked to a security officer at the store and has not been seen since.

They say Nole is on medication and does not have the ability to take care of herself.

She may be en route to Cape Girardeau or Fredericktown.

Nole is 5'2" and 230 pounds. She had blonde hair, brown eyes, fair complexion and tattoos on both arms and her neck. Nole was wearing a pink tank top, blue jean capris and tennis shoes.

According to the highway patrol, she responds to the name "Jessi" not "Jessica."

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 immediately or the nearest law enforcement agency.

The World! Facebook Inc. has finally changed its iconic like button. How do you LIKE the change?

The social network has increased the number of options for reacting to posts, beyond "like." Beginning Wednesday, people have five more choices: “love,” “haha,” “wow,” “sad” and “angry.”

Bloomberg Businessweek recently told the story of the project, which involved months of testing and tweaking to determine the best options. Users had long rallied for a “dislike” button, which the company rejected because it would create a negative atmosphere.

Facebook is releasing alternative buttons globally as it works to become a destination for more than life updates from friends. The company has been increasing its news content through partnerships with media companies for Instant Articles. Tragic news, for example, may require more nuanced responses than a "like." The new initiative is called Reactions.

“We understand that this is a big change, and want to be thoughtful about rolling this out,” Sammi Krug, product manager, said in a blog post. “We will continue learning and listening to feedback to make sure we have a set of reactions that will be useful all over the world.”
