However, things take an unexpected turn when one of the alligators, who is affectionately known as Darth Gator, leans over the ledge of the enclosure to try and get a better grip on the piece of chicken being offered to him....

Having the right character and ability for every match will make a lot of difference while rank pushing. While there are many to choose from, only a few are exceptional and make the task easier. Two such characters are DJ Alok and Kelly. One is a tactician who is perfect for team rank pushes, while the other can outrun opponents easily. Although both are well-suited for the job, only one is the best....

After promising Jacques Rogge and the International Olympic Committee that it would respect human rights, at least until the Games end, the regime moved in the opposite direction by stepping up its harassment of dissidents. While showing some important signs of maturity in joining regional efforts to deal with North Korean nukes, the government has found it hard to break bad habits: it took the bait in Tibet, indulging in stale denunciations of the Dalai Lama after cracking heads in the worst violence there in 20 years; it continues to back the military thugs in Burma, and promises of unfettered international press coverage and Internet access are proving worthless....

This article explains the risk factors for developing osteopenia, alternative therapies, and ways to maintain bone health. Risk Factors Your risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis is likely to increase as you get older. That’s because aging-related processes deplete minerals and mass from your bones.

That’s due to their naturally lower bone mineral density and certain bone-affecting hormonal changes that occur during menopause....

A number of legal experts have reacted to the revelations made in Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz’s resignation letter, who quit abruptly in February amid reports that Bragg would not be moving forward with a criminal case against Trump over allegations of felony tax fraud by the Trump Organization. In Pomerantz’s resignation letter, obtained by The New York Times, the prosecutor criticized Bragg’s decision to not push forward with the probe against Trump and feared that the DA’s hesitation will “doom any future prospects” of prosecuting the former president for crimes he is alleged to have committed....

Owing a serious design debt to the Bose Sleepbuds – themselves discontinued after persistent battery and charging issues – the ZenBuds have fixed their flaws and thrown in a load of sleep tracking tech to boot. The big downside? You’re limited to listening to sleep sounds from the app, so anyone who wants to fall asleep to podcasts, audiobooks, or their own music is fresh out of luck. Design and build The obvious challenge for sleep headphones is that they’ve somehow got to be comfortable enough to wear for eight hours straight, including when you lie on your side....

The Solar Orbiter passed within 4,967 miles of the planet’s surface on August 9, 2021. In the days leading up to the approach, an instrument aboard the spacecraft known as the Heliospheric Imager—or SoloHI—captured stunning images. In footage taken on August 7 and 8, a glowing Venus enters the frame on the left hand side and gradually moves toward the right, appearing to grow larger as the spacecraft approaches....

The advocacy group found that all four sites are selling The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War, a book which contains white supremacist myths such as the 14th Amendment was “never constitutionally ratified.” The book also argued that the Civil War was unnecessary because slavery was expected to “fade away naturally,” under the Confederacy.

The Echo Dot, though, has always been a great starting point and allows you to have a hands-free virtual assistant without breaking the bank. With the 5th-generation model, nothing has changed in that respect, even if it’s a fiver more expensive in the UK this time around. However, wherever you live, the Echo Dot 5 is likely to be the one to buy thanks to a selection of small but useful upgrades....

While smartphones, tablets and PCs are well covered thanks to their access to an app store or web browser, it was easy for non-smart TVs to quickly feel out of date. TVs which only had access to broadcast television could quickly feel limiting, particularly as they are typically updated far less frequently than other devices. This is where media streamers have come in. They mean almost any TV or monitor can become a smart TV, provided it has an HDMI port....
