    For all the little creatures out there, falling water can be a big hazard. When water drops are a large percentage of your body size, you need clever adaptations to survive even commonly occurring phenomena such as rain. So even greater volumes of falling water, like a waterfall, may as well be a wall to delicate fliers. But for some insects and small birds, this seemingly impenetrable barrier is surmountable. Several species of birds at least, make use of these natural barriers by tucking their nests safely behind the shimmering walls. Some are known to fly right through this plummeting...

    by Jonathan Jones A large tax debt owed to the government by the son of former Vice President Joe Biden has disappeared, according to a report. Hunter Biden, who has faced scrutiny over allegedly profiting from businesses internationally using his father’s influence, recently told a court in his Arkansas paternity case that he was out of work and broke. The Washington Free Beacon reported Saturday that despite the younger Biden’s reported personal and financial woes, he was able to resolve a six-figure tax debt in a short period of time. “Hunter Biden was hit with a $450,000 lien in July over...

    Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has some advice for Joe Biden on facing President Donald Trump: Be prepared to confront someone unlike anyone you've ever dealt with before. And keep focused. Speaking on MSNBC on Friday morning, the former first lady and secretary of State offered insight into challenging Trump as the only other person to have done so in a general election race. She said Trump's irregularity as a candidate meant her campaign had to navigate new waters, and she advised Biden to stay on top of and debunk misinformation. She also said Biden should continue to stick...

    Together, the men had shipped crates of fraudulent votes back to New York. But their scheme was over. Wood reported the operation to authorities. Ferry’s office was searched, and on the morning of Oct. 27, 1864 — less than two weeks before the election — he and Donahue stood trial before a military commission.

    Fox News host Neil Cavuto and Republican Congressman Jim Jordan had an exchange on Friday that revealed how some members of the media seem to take Democrat talking points to heart more than they should. And that member of the media in this case would be the anti-Trump Cavuto. Cavuto Asks Jordan About Trump And USPS Cavuto asked Jordan, “What did you make of what the Postmaster General was saying on the whole mail-in ballot issue. He says ‘Because I think the American public should be able to vote by mail.’ He says ‘we’ll deploy processes and procedures that advance...

    Medication for high blood pressure could improve Covid-19 survival rates and reduce the severity of infection - according to new research from the University of East Anglia. Researchers studied 28,000 patients taking antihypertensives - a class of drugs that are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). They found that the risk of severe Covid-19 illness and death was reduced for patients with high blood pressure who were taking Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB). Lead researcher Dr Vassilios Vassiliou, from UEA's Norwich Medical School, said: "We know that patients with cardiovascular diseases are at particular risk...

    This is what LeBron James would have missed had he instituted his typical social media blackout during the NBA playoffs. Monday morning, hours before the Lakers were set to square off with the Trail Blazers in Game 4 of their first-round series, James paid tribute to the back of his balding head and its resemblance to a partial Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. The 35-year-old star took to Instagram and posted a side-by-side picture of a peanut butter cup that got partly stuck to the wrapper and the back of his head that was light on hair.

    New York University officials signaled they are open to a student group's demands to create Black residence floors on campus next year, but the petition is already receiving backlash for proposing students segregate themselves. "[Residential] Life staff have reached out to the authors of the petition to discuss how we might move forward with their goals," an NYU spokesperson told Washington Square News, NYU's student newspaper. "Given the COVID-related challenges to the student housing system for 2020-2021, these conversations would be aiming towards 2021-2022.” A "themed engagement floor" for Black students is being pushed by a group called Black Violets...

University of Edinburgh professor, Mark Woolhouse couldn’t have been clearer about how much he regrets the destructive measures he advised against COVID-19: “Lockdown was a panic measure and I believe history will say trying to control Covid-19 through lockdown was a monumental mistake on a global scale, the cure was worse than the disease. I never want to see national lockdown again. I believe the harm lockdown is doing to our education, health care access,...
