Posted to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge Facebook page on August 2, the video, which the agency credited Penni Phillips of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for taking, racked up more than 600,000 views. You can view the video here. Laura Bonneau, the visitor services manager for Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, told Newsweek in an email that alligators are “experts at blending in.” “An American Alligator wades through shallow water covered in duckweed, eventually becoming almost completely camouflaged in green,” read the video’s caption....

Released in 1992, the original Alone in the Dark was considered by many to retroactively have been the first true survival horror experience, having been awarded that title after the Resident Evil franchise coined it in 1996. Brooding, mysterious, and taking influence from horror legends like H.R. Giger and H.P. Lovecraft, Alone in the Dark was certainly a unique specimen at the time. While it’s likely destined to be overshadowed by recently-rekindled genre titans like Resident Evil and Dead Space in the modern era, the adherence to tense survival horror combat and interesting 1920s flair seen in the first trailers indicate that this new Alone in the Dark title could well live up to the high bar set by its cohorts....

Fernando’s replacement: Joe Holland did a great article on this earlier, so please check that out if you haven’t already. Despite McLaren’s uncompetitive car, this is a seat that a lot of drivers are after, with everybody from Force India’s Esteban Ocon to reserve driver Lando Norris linked with it. For me, the one who will be racing in papaya next season will be Alonso’s biggest fan, Carlos Sainz. Sainz is currently a Renault driver but has been confirmed to not be racing for the French outfit in 2019....

The Bayern Munich right back is unavailable indefinitely due to “mild” myocarditis that developed as a result of a recent bout with COVID-19. That left him off the squad for this week’s three World Cup qualifiers, and Canada was without its most recognizable star. Instead, he allowed fans to join him in rooting on the team as he watched the match like one of them, taking to Twitch to enjoy the proceedings....

A couple more games like Friday night should help out a lot. Altherr homered twice and drove in five runs, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 14-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. The 27-year-old Altherr was expected to be a regular contributor for Philadelphia after he had 19 homers and 65 RBIs in 107 games last season. But the outfielder struggled with his swing all spring and was sent down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on July 22 after hitting just ....

‘RAW’ thoughts Am I the only one who … … thought WWE did a great job of booking Roman Reigns on this episode? The Brooklyn crowd couldn’t wait to boo Reigns out of the building, but they couldn’t help but cheer when he announced that he wanted to put his newly won Universal Title on the line that night against crowd favorite and deserving challenger Finn Balor. The fans also cheered when Reigns put heel authority figure Baron Corbin in his place after he tried to call off the match....

The pair wrote to Deputy Assistant Secretary for Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Loren Sweatt, asking for this to be looked into and for further guidance to be issued. “We invite them to visit any one of our fulfillment centers so they can see firsthand rather than repeatedly asking the same questions.” It further defended its operations as allowing customers to receive “critical items” throughout the COVID-19 pandemic....

Design & Build If, like me, you’re a long-time Paperwhite user, then the most obvious change with the new model is the larger size. The frame itself is only slightly increased, going from the 167 x 116 x 8.18mm dimensions of the 2018 model to a 174 x 125 x 8.1mm configuration. Weight has also grown a tad, with the 187g of the older model now moving up to 205g. Don’t worry though, this is still a very comfortable device to hold that doesn’t feel heavy at all even during extended reading sessions....

The original movie trilogy isn’t beloved because it’s a big-budget extravaganza, but because it’s a series that people connect with on a deep level, with characters that stick with the audience, and a certain magic about it that absorbs you into the world at every turn. The story is about resilience, love, destiny, and legacy, and those themes and the way that the characters connect to each other and struggle with their problems and positions is something that audiences get emotionally attached to....

The video posted to TikTok by Morgan16_22 has received over 2.9 million views and more than 638,000 likes since it was posted at the beginning of March. At the start of the footage, a group of alligators can be seen in the water below making hissing noises. One person can be heard saying “oh wow,” after which another said: “He’s big, too.” The alligators then suddenly all look towards the voice, in the same direction, as if reacting to the woman’s comment....

F1 star Alonso qualified fifth at the brickyard, setting a four-lap average speed of 231.300 mph in his McLaren-Honda-Andretti challenger. Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon took pole with 232.164 mph. Sunday was not without its tribulations for the two-time world champion, however, as he required an engine change before running in the Fast Nine and then saw his lap compromised slightly by an overboost issue. IndyCar competitors are subject to having their electric power boost cut if it goes above a certain threshold - which hit Alonso on his run....

The two-time Formula One world champion and McLaren Honda Andretti entry will start from the second row in Sunday’s race. Scott Dixon will start from pole at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but Alonso has seemingly adjusted to IndyCar relatively smoothly. Alonso was delighted with his efforts, expressing his surprise at qualifying fifth fastest. “With everything that has happened today being among the top 5 is a dream! 15 days ago I would never have thought about fighting for the pole,” the Spaniard wrote on Instagram....

Before getting to Hillary’s game, let me introduce a new ace in the hole for Obama. For all the talk of numbers, there’s one that will be most important for superdelegates: 1.5 million. That reflects the 1.5 million names of donors that the Obama campaign has on file. Because no contribution below $200 is publicly reported, the vast majority of those names are in Obama’s exclusive possession, to be shared as he wishes....

After Pavement went on hiatus in 1999, Malkmus entered the second phase in his career as the leader of the Jicks, who have recorded seven well-received albums. Of late, he has branched out of the indie rock genre, sans the Jicks, starting with 2019’s electronic-dominated Groove Denied. Now he is making another stylistic and radical musical departure with Traditional Techniques, a ’60s-styled folk album due out on March 6. Traditional Techniques invokes both the simplicity of storytelling troubadours like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, but veers into psychedelia reminiscent of The Doors....

So far, the public’s response to this state of crisis has been twofold. While some ask social media platforms to invest more resources and energy into detecting misinformation and hate speech, others have called for a tighter regulation of the tech industry. We are professors at San José State University who teach the ethics of technology and we think that this won’t work. In fact, we have a better and more radical solution in mind: It’s time to say goodbye to mainstream social media platforms and replace them with alternatively designed ones....

The 35-year-old quieted the critics and dominated from start-to-finish to defeat Alvarez by unanimous decision (120-108, 116-112, 116-112) to win back the WBO light heavyweight title for the third time in the ESPN+ main event at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas. Sporting News had the fight scored 119-109 for Kovalev. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year Kovalev (33-3-1, 28 KOs) was a completely different fighter under new trainer Buddy McGirt....
