With a deeper perception of blues into the ultraviolet range, deer see not only blue jeans but residue from UV brighteners in laundry detergent that is invisible to humans. Deer pupils gather more light, and a greater concentration of light-dark photoreceptors gives them better night vision. Eyes positioned on the sides of the head give deer a broader field of view. Deer have incredible motion detection. They can see a hunter blink from a distance, but if there’s no additional movement they don’t know what it is.

What started as an attempt to get rid of pesky creatures ended with an entire house going up in flames. A house of nearly 10,000 square feet in Dickerson, Maryland, an hour west of Baltimore, was engulfed in flames on November 23 when the homeowner tried to smoke out a snake infestation on the property, Pete Piringer, chief spokesperson for the Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service, told CNN. Coals were used as the heat source for the smoke, but they were placed too close to combustible materials, eventually setting the house on fire, Piringer explained. The fire started in...

Tehran (AFP) – An air defence test triggered a loud explosion near Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility Saturday as nuclear talks with major powers stumble. The explosion was heard in the skies over the Iranian city of Badroud, just 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the nuclear plant, the official IRNA news agency reported. "Badroud residents heard the noise and saw a light which showed an object had just blown up in the skies over the city," a witness told IRNA. But the spokesman of the Iranian army, General Amir Tarikhani, told state television there was no cause for concern. "An...

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said this week that shoplifters should be prosecuted and vowed to "significantly increase . . . efforts to go after these retail rings." He also said he would ramp up police presence along highways and retail corridors. And though the state typically classifies thefts under $950 as misdemeanors instead of felonies, Newsom urged local law enforcement officials to be more forceful in going after organized retail crime.

Thousands facing heart problems due to ‘post-pandemic stress disorder He said: “I’ve seen a big increase in thrombotic-related vascular conditions in my practice. Far younger patients are being admitted and requiring surgical and medical intervention than prior to the pandemic. “I believe many of these cases are a direct result of the increased stress and anxiety levels caused from the effects of PPSD. “We also have evidence that some patients have died at home from conditions such as pulmonary embolism and myocardial infarction. I believe this is related to many people self-isolating at home with no contact with the outside...

Twitter acknowledged on Friday that a new policy it unveiled this week to protect users from harassment is being abused by malicious actors — days after journalists, left-wing activists and self-described "sedition hunters" reported their accounts had been locked for sharing publicly available images of anti-maskers, anti-vaccine protesters and suspected Capitol insurrectionists. The acknowledgment highlights how Twitter has been caught flat-footed by what it described in a statement as "a significant amount of coordinated and malicious" activity that led to "several errors" in Twitter's enforcement. "We've corrected those errors and are undergoing an internal review to make certain that this...

NEW intelligence from a US Space Force official confirms that China's hypersonic weapon system can stay in orbit for "an extended period of time." US intelligence and military officials have been keeping a close eye on the technology, which reportedly had its first test launch in August. In a forum event streamed online, information about the weapon was explained by Lieutenant General B. Chance Saltzman, Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Operations, Cyber, and Nuclear, United States Space Force. Saltzman clarified that China's mysterious new weapon reportedly uses fractional orbit technology, rather than a traditional suborbital method. That would allow...

A Belgian zoo has confirmed that two hippopotamuses have tested positive for coronavirus in what could be the first reported cases in the species. Hippos Imani, aged 14, and 41-year-old Hermien have no symptoms apart from a runny nose. Antwerp Zoo in Belgium said the pair had been put into quarantine as a precaution. It is unclear how the hippos caught the virus, but staff tested the pair after they were seen 'expelling snot'. 'To my knowledge, this is the first time in this species. Worldwide, this virus has been reported mainly in great apes and felines,' said the zoo's...

The Biden administration's strategy for dealing with COVID this winter includes widespread testing, as announced by President Biden on Thursday -- a message later amplified by Dr. Anthony Fauci on Thursday evening: "I mean, the president made that announcement in his five-part plan to address what we're going to be facing this winter," Fauci told MSNBC's Chris Hayes. "And one of them that we've spoken about and will happen is to really flood the system with tests, including free tests. "And, in fact, what people are not aware of is that there's an investment of billions of dollars to make...

A new study has found that people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience cardiac autonomic dysfunction, meaning that the heart's ability to speed up during exercise and recover afterwards is limited, regardless of disease severity. "Although it is a respiratory disease, COPD also affects other systems of the body," commented Laura Delgado, predoctoral researcher at ISGlobal. "Its effect on the cardiovascular and muscular system has been extensively studied, but its effect on the autonomic nervous system has received less attention." The study assessed participants' ability to increase their heart rate during exercise (chronotropic response, CR) and return to baseline...

“It was [associated with] a country that, although it’s an ally, is questionable at times,” the “Ocean’s Eleven” star continued. “And so I thought: ‘Well, if it takes a minute’s sleep away from me, it’s not worth it.'” The “ER” star, who shares twins with his wife Amal, admitted to doing less acting work these days so they can live their lives. “In general, there just aren’t that many great parts – and, look, I don’t have to act,” George shared. “My wife and I had this conversation when I turned 60 this summer.

Ethan Crumbley’s father spoiled him rotten — but was a deadbeat dad to an older son he had with another woman, the ex says in a new interview. James Crumbley, who fathered her 18-year-old son, is “a piece of s**t,” said Michelle Cobb, adding she hopes he “gets the maximum” for his alleged role in the slaughter. And Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the 15-year-old accused of shooting up his Oxford, Michigan, high school Tuesday, a “monster,” Cobb said.

In dealing with healing it's easy to get focused on what's happening in the body, but that's actually the opposite of what The Bible teaches. Because, actually it's what's going on in your spirit that's most important. Because, The Bible teaches that you prosper outside according to how you prosper inside. Notice, in 3John 2 it says, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Man is spirit, soul, and body. You are spirit and you have a soul(inside of your spirit) and you live in a body. Notice,...

A judge ruled Friday that a man charged with killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket earlier this year is mentally incompetent to stand trial and ordered him to be treated at the state mental hospital to see if he can be made well enough to face prosecution.

Four doctors have now determined Alissa is not mentally competent to participate in court proceedings, and he has “deteriorated” over...
