Cala was in an extremely poor state, suffering from injuries, malnutrition, and being restrained by a small chain around her neck that prevented her from even laying her head on a pile of rags beneath her. Her suffering was due to her being employed as a guard dog in Costa Rica by a mechanic who did not provide her with proper care and nourishment. The situation was so dire that Cala found it challenging to breathe because she had to keep her head up all the time. There was a risk of her hanging herself with the chain if she…

The skeletons of five people with elongated skulls have been dug up in the Russian-annexed region of Crimea, sparking rumours of an “alien” grave. The remains date from slightly less than 2000 years ago and are believed to be from the ancient Sarmatian culture. A mother was found buried with a baby lying on her chest, with three more skeletons found under them in the grave. Archaeologists discovered five skeletons with elongated skulls buried on top of each other at Kyz-Aul necropolis in Crimea.

During his 16-year career, Kevin Durant has played with incredible talent in the NBA. The 2x NBA champion has shared touches with some of the most talented players of this generation, trying to compete for big things. KD has probably had the most talented teammates in NBA history, and he even has a favorite among all the players he played with. However, Gilbert Arenas thinks that the current star that shares touches with Durant is the one that better fits him. For the former player, Devin Booker is the best sidekick for Kevin Durant. “You know now this is a hot take; this…
Devin Booker’s elimination game last season was a damp squib. And it didn’t change this year either after the Phoenix Suns guard came up short when his team needed him the most. Booker had 12 points, 1 rebound, and 8 assists in the Suns’ 125-100 blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets, who sealed the series 4-2 and ousted Phoenix from the race. This marks the second time that he failed in a crunch game. Last season, The Suns were facing the Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals, and Booker ended with 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting as the Suns…
Chris Paul is widely regarded as one of the best point guards of this generation. Despite having such acumen to play the game of basketball, Paul is yet to win an NBA title in his career. Many expected for that 18-year drought to be over this season as the Suns were the favorites to win the 2023 NBA Championship after adding Kevin Durant to the roster. Unfortunately, the Suns’ journey was cut short by Nikola Jokic and Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Semifinals. Following a Game 6 defeat, the Suns’ season is over, and Chris Paul remains ringless in…

Mac’s Mission, a rescue in Jackson, Missouri, found a puppy, along with another older canine, wandering alone outside in the cold. However this isn’t simply any ordinary puppy; he has what appears to be a “tail” coming out of his forehead. While the tail does not wag like a normal tail, it is certainly something rescuers have never ever seen before. Because it reminds them of a unicorn’s horn, they decided to name him Narwhal, “the little wonderful furry unicorn.” Narwhal has a foot injury of some kind and will require treatment. The rescue is taking him to the vet…
Vacations can be quite enjoyable. Visiting historic cities, lounging in the Sun on a tropical beach, or snuggling up at a cozy mountain resort. But while the destinations are great, traveling itself can be a chore. Crowds, cramped flights, delays. It would be great if there were some short cut to our destination. Now imagine the vacationers of a galactic empire. It’s great to visit the diamond shores of Exoticon 5, but nobody enjoys all that mucking about in hyperspace. So why not bring these worlds closer to home? That’s the idea behind a study recently published in MNRAS. It basically…
A star like our Sun only shines the way it does because of its intrinsic balance. Stars are massive, and the inward gravitational pressure from all that mass acts to contain the outward thermal pressure from all the fusion inside the star. They are in equilibrium, or on the main sequence if you like, and the result is a spherical mass of plasma that holds its shape and emits radiation with relative stability for billions of years. Like our Sun. But eventually, stars teeter over the edge and lose their balance. Stars like our Sun will expand, take on a malevolent red…
The Phoenix Suns are leaving the playoffs in the second round of the playoffs for a second consecutive year after being dominated by the Denver Nuggets. Dwight Howard was watching Game 6 in Taiwan and sent a simple message addressed to Phoenix, saying that Taiwan is calling. If Howard is aiming this message at a specific Suns player, we need to find out who it is. Imagining Dwight offering Chris Paul a Taouyuan Leopards jersey is a hilarious thought, but sadly it doesn’t that likely that any of the players on this Phoenix team will be able to give him companionship in Taiwan next…
In 2022-23, it seems that the average NBA fan has become overly enamored with the offensive side of basketball. It isn’t their fault. The league has pushed rules to be in favor of offense and ushered in the three-point era for quite some time now. It should be stated that there also isn’t anything wrong with being enamored with offense, especially when one considers the amount of extremely talented scorers, playmakers, and passers is as vast as it has ever been. That being said, long gone are the days when we would celebrate the lockdown defensive specialists and two-way role…

The first humans known to have mummified their dead did so in a rather improbable spot: the driest place on Earth. The Chinchorro people settled in coastal bays of the Atacama Desert, in what is present-day Chile, around 7,000 BC and developed a technique for mummification around 5,000 BC. That’s roughly 2,000 years before the ancient Egyptians. Yet, while the Egyptians were a complex civilization mummifying elite pharaohs, the Chinchorro were pre-ceramic hunter-gatherers with a more egalitarian approach to honoring the dead.Although little-known even inside Chile, the country hopes a UNESCO application for World Heritage Site status (the archeological sites are already…

Artist’s illustration of a gamma-ray burst resulting from a collapsing star, ejecting particles and radiation in a narrow jet. GRB 221009A, the most energetic gamma-ray burst ever recorded, released 1,000 times more energy than the Sun’s lifetime output. Observed with the VLT and James Webb Space Telescope, this event left scientists puzzled about gamma-ray bursts’ nature and the possible absence of an accompanying supernova. Credit: Soheb Mandhai Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, marking the end of a star’s life. A particularly bright burst, GRB 221009, was recently detected by several space telescopes. A team of…
The mummy of ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep I was so exquisitely wrapped — decorated with flower garlands and buried with a lifelike face mask — scientists have been hesitant to open up the remains. That is, until now. Some 3,000 years after Amenhotep’s burial, a team of researchers used CT scans to digitally unwrap his body for the first time, virtually peering through the many layers to reveal what he would’ve looked like when alive (he took after his dad it seems). The pharaoh’s skull showed his teeth were in good condition at the time of his death. They also…
