26. Look at this microscopic tardigrade going for a swim through some algae. Tardigrades are tiny micro-animals first described by German zoologist J. Goeze in 1773. They were named Tardigrada (slow steppers) by Italian biologist L. Spallanzani in 1776.

20. Paper cuts are surprisingly painful because, at a microscopic level, paper has a rough texture. While a knife creates a clean cut, paper behaves like a saw blade, inflicting more damage to cells and nerve endings.

Even If we are trying to have a good time by not going outside so that these Stray dogs can't chase or b!te us, they are troubling us in different ways. Look at this face off, some kind of debate competition is going on here and they do it every night continuously to ru!n peace.

I was in Swannanoa, NC, today with President Donald J. Trump (President Donald J. Trump) and First Lady MELANIA TRUMP (First Lady Melania Trump) at what was once the home of the West family. They were hit hard by Hurricane Helene, and Samaritan's Purse will be rebuilding a home for them. We are grateful to God for all those who have been a part of helping the residents of this region who lost so much in this storm.

I've been deep down the Sherrone Moore rabbit hole and stumbled upon this nugget as the Wolverines look for their next head coach: "They are going to kick the tires on John Harbaugh. ... I know some key people, multiple key people at Michigan, are very intrigued by the idea. ... I know some key people up there like him and they will have a role in this decision as they formulate this list." via Justin Spiro

WWII-era shipwrecks are emerging for the first time in years, as one of Europe's biggest rivers dries up. Months of heatwaves have left the Danube River at a critically low level, revealing Nazi warships, ancient animal fossils and other relics of history. In Serbia, at least 20 German ships that were intentionally scuttled during the war can be seen from the banks of Prahovo, a village located on the river. While some of the ships had been previously removed by the Communist Yugoslav authorities, many remained due to the dangerous explosives onboard. And in Bulgaria, some residents discovered the bones of a woolly mammoth. The animals coexisted with ancient humans and were hunted for food, tusks and bones before they went extinct.

In a shocking clip, at his first Juma prayer in office, Zohran Mamdani introduced himself as New York City's first Muslim mayor. Followed by the cleric chanting Arabic verses praising "killing infidels by the sword." Tommy Robinson reacts: "You see what you need to do? He should be deported instantly. That Imam should be deported instantly." Robinson adds: "And send a message to all of them, you're not going to tolerate this. Now, this is the point. I've been pretty surprised at how vocal and very confident they are in America. They're only 1%. But look how confident they are at 1%. Look at Texas. They're planning for the future. They're planning to take Texas." "And right now, look, not all Muslims are bad. I get that. But the peaceful Muslims are irrelevant. They're irrelevant in Syria, they're irrelevant in Afghanistan. They're irrelevant. They're not going to stop it. They're not going to save you. So you need to save yourself. And you cannot allow this to grow."

4 students of Amity University in Nodia went for a post-exam picnic. They entered a restricted construction site by climbing over a high barrier. The area had already been marked unsafe and closed to the public. Even then, they entered a water filled pit to drink and swim. One student named Harshit Bhatt, drowned after entering the water, while the remaining 3 students were rescued. At some point, warnings stop failing people, people start failing themselves. Personal responsibility is not optional.

So, I’m getting sued by a member of a terrorist group. I pepper sprayed a Far Left activist waving a flagpole at our bodies ( Katie and I) back in July. I felt like they were going to hit us like they did with Katie yesterday. This person is suing me for 10 grand for pain and suffering. I’m going to need some help paying for an attorney to fight this. Covering these terrorists is a nightmare.

THEY WEREN'T EXAGGERATING. PoK IS UNITED IN SILENT PROTEST. THIS IS GENERAL MUNIR'S WORST NIGHTMARE. Look at the scenes. A total voluntary shutdown. Chakka jaam and sit-ins are also underway across PoK. It's going exactly as promised by the resistance. What's different is that this time protesters include women and children. This spirit of non-cooperation is unprecedented. For decades, despite discontent, PoK's political leadership largely worked within Islamabad's redlines. They were assuaged by a few token concessions. And they wouldn't let things go this far. Clearly, that's changed.

This morning at Pa Adebanjo’s burial in Ogun State, Peter Obi arrived and met some elderly men and women outside. They were not allowed in as the security stated the Church was full. But they were elderly and standing under the sun when there were still a few seats inside and even a large canopy for shade. The security saw Peter Obi and immediately opened the locked gate for only him to go in but he stood by the gate insisting that the elderly men and women go in first to sit or at least stay under the shade before he would go in They were all filled with smiles and thanks for his kindness as they noted some others have gone in without even assisting them. A man of the people ❣️.

‼️URGENT: SIGN PETITION TO SEND THE ESCAPED MILITARY HORSES TO A SANCTUARY‼️ Petition: We all are shocked by the images of the blood-covered horses, that were running through London today morning. This horrifying image is a clear display of how we treat animals in today's society. Animals in distress have been escaping from slaughterhouses, farms and this time from a military rehearsal. We have to do better. These horses have served their country through no choice of their own. Now, it is time for us to serve them. ‼️We are urgently calling for those horses to be sent to a sanctuary where they can live out the rest of their lives in peace‼️

Chris Christie: Nikki Haley's speech was tortured ambition. In her own mind, that was more important than standing up for the things that she represented to Republican voters in primaries on Donald Trump being unfit, unhinged, and just unqualified to be President of the United States. When people who were supporting Nikki Haley look at this speech tonight, they're not going to be persuaded by Nikki Haley to vote for someone, they're going to be ashamed they voted for her in the first place

#WATCH | Nepal: On several pilgrims and volunteers of Isha Foundation's Sacred Walks (Kailash Mansarovar Yatra) missing or stranded in Nepal amid the flood situation, Maa Gambhiri, Coordinator at Isha Sacred Walks, says, "This was a very unexpected situation that happened because the group was just returning to Kathmandu and they were at the China Immigration Center. When we last spoke to them at 9:05 am, the group leader, Praveen, told us that they had just reached the immigration center and that they were going to start the immigration process. Within 10 minutes, when we tried to contact them again, they were not reachable. This entire tragedy happened within those 10 minutes. We lost touch with the entire group because the entire communication system was down... we've been waiting for an update. On the Nepal side, all the communication systems were down. I think they tried sending some helicopters to get some information. The town on the Nepal side, where 3 of our volunteers were stationed, was completely washed away. A total of 80 people were affected by this. We are still hoping that we will have some information soon from the Chinese authorities, hopefully by tomorrow morning. We are hoping against hope that we will get to hear some good news on this." Speaking about 77 pilgrims that left stranded amid the flood situation in Nepal, she says, "They were from the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, various countries in Europe, and the UK. We also had people from some of the Asian countries. We had participants from 19 countries. A lot of them were of Indian origin... We have contacted all 19 embassies in India and Nepal. We are in touch with them. They are also looking at how to support us and get some information. But because the tragedy happened in a very remote area and on a very massive scale, I think information is very slow to come by..."
