The turtles are Roti Island Snake-necked Turtles, which are currently critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List, with only two known populations surviving in the wild. The pet trade and limited habitats have winnowed away the number of turtles left in the wild. “This is a great step towards our efforts to help conserve this species in the wild!” the zoo said on its Facebook page....

Head coach John Herdman passionately claimed after the match that Canada would “eff Croatia” in their next game, and now it’s time for Les Rouges to prove themselves. Canada have yet to score a World Cup goal in four all-time matches. Ending that streak is a tall order against the 2018 runners-up, but it’s certainly not out of the question. Croatia didn’t exactly impress with a scoreless draw in their opener against Morocco and do appear vulnerable....

Luka Modric and Co. were held to a goalless draw by Morocco, making this match a must-win ahead of their showdown with Group F heavyweights Belgium. Canada impressed against the Belgians and were much the better side in the first half. Their struggles in front of goal left them 1-0 losers but John Herdman will have been encouraged.

Some might look at this as being abrasively overconfident. For the Frenchman and the other Gaurs alike, it is the simple truth. And the truth is reflected in the numbers and the success that can now also be objectified with silverware. Two and a half years back, a decision was made by the club in terms of the kind of football they wanted to play. Decisions were made to carry forward the blueprint and personnel recruited to carry out what would become arguably the most outlandish brand of football that India has seen....

The Serum Institute is the world’s largest supplier to the United Nations’ global immunization plan, known as COVAX. Vaccine export from India has been stalled since March due to India’s spike in COVID-19 cases and the delay has led 60 countries to pause vaccine rollouts. The World Health Organization and Gavi, COVAX partners, anticipated India would restart exporting vaccines by June and that 90 million doses would be impacted by the delay....

Tactical thought in the 2010s was dominated by the Dutch-Catalan school’s influence, as Pep Guardiola refined Johan Cruyff’s vision to stunning effect with his dominant Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City sides, throwing in some South American seasoning as a Marcelo Bielsa disciple. Guardiola, of course, has a more than worthy adversary in Jurgen Klopp, who looks to be at the beginning of his own imperial period at Liverpool. The gegenpressing master has refined his high-octane approach to find something utterly relentless – more motorik krautrock than heavy metal football....

One year—and nearly two million deaths—later, the world is still trying to come to terms with the COVID-19 pandemic. Scientists have raced to find was to suppress and eradicate disease or protect populations with vaccines. Economies have battled to stay afloat amid shutdowns, lockdowns and furlough schemes. And we have struggled to come to terms with the horror and the death. In Macbeth, when Malcom hears that MacDuff’s wife and children are dead he says, “Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers o’er-fraught heart and bids it break....

Although both of us are also working, we gladly came to the rescue. Soon, we found ourselves reading stories, making lunches, putting our grandchildren down for their naps and sometimes even Zooming for work with one of them on our laps. As child care researchers ourselves, we could see the country finally come to grips with what we have been writing about for years: The U.S. has a child care crisis....

“There were two different experiences during the pandemic,” Dan Egan, vice president of Behavioral Finance and Investing at Betterment Financial in New York, told Newsweek. “Those who had a white-collar job and a healthy nest egg sailed through easily, and many contributed more to their retirement account,” he said. “But if you had a service-industry job, the pandemic knocked you off the ladder.” Many people with stable jobs deposited the first government stimulus checks in retirement or savings accounts, while those struggling at the lower end of the economic scale used the money to meet routine expenses, he said....

The Associated Press noted the slower rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in red states in mid-April. As of May 30, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed the five states with the lowest numbers of vaccine doses administered per 100,000 people were Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Wyoming and Arkansas—each of which former President Donald Trump won last November. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden won Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Hawaii and Maine—the five states with the highest number of administered doses per 100,000 residents....

Noting the loss of COVID-19 patients in need of emergency care who “just drop so fast,” Lacie Gooch, an ICU nurse at Nebraska Medicine, said: “I have seen more people sick than I’ve ever seen in my life.” The video message was tweeted Monday by Nebraska Medicine, an Omaha-based health system that includes the Nebraska Medical Center, the state’s largest hospital. Gooch said: “I just got off my third 12-hour shift....

Dallas (8-7) finished its slide from its 2016 NFC East championship season to completely out of the playoffs, as it was eliminated from wild-card contention after Sunday’s 21-12 home loss to Seattle (9-6). It was another frustrating, close defeat in most frustrating year. What said it all was the sight of a disappointed Jones getting up from his seat in the owner’s box at AT&T Stadium after reliable kicker Dan Bailey missed a chip-shot field-goal attempt to cap a disastrous red-zone drive in the fourth quarter....

The Cowboys ran a Philly Special lookalike to score a touchdown in the final minute of the first half against the Giants in Week 5. Receiver Cedrick Wilson took the reverse before lofting a pass toward Prescott, who had sprinted out along the right sideline. Prescott reeled it in and took the final steps to score an 11-yard receiving touchdown. Entering Week 5, Prescott had been making headlines for his record passing pace....

Showers will instead be a safety, which seems odd on the surface. But when you realize he spent all of last season on the team’s practice squad, playing on special teams, you realize that there’s a method to Dallas’ madness. Even though Showers covered punts and kicks as a scout team player last year, and recorded five tackles in the 2015 preseason, it’s still an interesting move by Dallas. After all, offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said before the season, “We feel and believe, and Jameill does as well, that quarterback is the position for him....

At that point, the Cowboys had the ball for roughly four minutes, and the team was on an 11-play, 49-yard drive. That was when running back Tony Pollard ran for three yards on a second-and-6 on the Chargers 41-yard line. Pollard finished the day with 109 yards on 13 carries. The Chargers tackled Pollard with 30 seconds left on the clock. Mike McCarthy shocks everyone The Cowboys needed a field goal to win and avoid overtime....

Turkey Day is a day to be thankful, joyous and appreciative of each other’s company, but for at least one play in the Cowboys-Raiders matchup, those emotions weren’t anywhere to be found. Early in the third quarter, the teams got into a small scrum that reached the Las Vegas sideline. After the gravy spilled, two players were ejected. Cowboys defensive back Kelvin Joseph and Raiders defensive back Roderic Teamer were tossed for their roles in the affair....

Jamaica Tallawahs Jamaica Tallawahs are currently third in the CPL 2018 league standings with three wins and two defeats from five matches. Batting: Glenn Phillips is looking in great touch with two half-centuries in five games, including a 55-ball 80 in the last game against Trinbago Knight Riders. While David Miller too is coming off a stellar 72* off just 34 balls. Both these batsman along with Russel forms a formidable batting lineup...

While the gameplay of Fall Guys is simple it seems to be entertaining a huge amount of players. So much so that Fall Guys had server issues because of the number of players who were trying to play the online title. Despite the popularity of the game few would have thought to use their Rock Band guitar to win the game, but it seemed to work surprising well.
