Vadis isn’t the only bug seller who’s adopted containerized shipping. But he claims his paper-fiberboard invention guarantees the crickets a longer, more comfortable life than the plastics coming into the market elsewhere, since it wicks away moisture from the insects. The system enables reptile owners to simply punch open a tab to open the box and shake out as many crickets as needed. Or an owner can place the box in a pet’s cage, where the resident bearded dragon or other cricket-eating creature can hunt the crickets as appetite, and Darwinian behavior, dictate....

Central to that turn of events was Rob Gronkowski. Inexplicably left on the field to defend a potential Hail Mary pass with the Patriots defending a 33-28 lead with mere seconds left on the clock, the Patriots star tight end floundered in his unfamiliar role, allowing himself to be rounded by Miami running back Kenyan Drake after the Dolphins ran a series of laterals to score an unbelievable game-winner....

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he plans to continue to focus on improved player safety by escalating his crackdown on players who repeatedly dish out illegal hits. Speaking during his annual state of the league address Friday, Goodell said he wants to see even tougher penalties on players who cause injuries with their hits and the only way to do that is by banning them from games. “I think we’re going to have to continue to see discipline escalate, particularly on repeat offenders,” said Goodell just two days before the Baltimore Ravens face the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 47 at the Superdome....

The company has an existing policy that prevents ads from being displayed on videos or other content that incites violence or promotes false information or conspiracy theories. An email to publishers reported by Reuters states that Google will not place ads next to content that “claims that imply victims are responsible for their own tragedy or similar instances of victim blaming, such as claims that Ukraine is committing genocide or deliberately attacking its own citizens,” both of which are claims that have repeatedly been made by Russian officials....

People who so far complained of the scrolling performance in Windows tablets will now be benefited once the search engine starts supporting Pointer Events, which was initially used by Microsoft for Microsoft Explorer as well. Google has so far only stressed on Touch Events. However, after receiving multiple feedback from the web community, they have finally decided to adopt the change for Chrome. When contacted by the media, Rick Byers of Google said, “Replacing all touch event handlers with pointer event handlers will address the main longstanding source of scrolling-start jank we see on Android....

“Having the United States rejoin the World Health Organization without it undergoing serious reform is foolish,” Comer said in a statement. Comer then claimed that the WHO and its Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus “proven that their priority has been to abet the Chinese government at the expense of the American people and the rest of the world.” “While China spread misinformation so it could hoard medical supplies, the WHO parroted China’s lies denying human to human transmission of the virus and Tedros praising them for their transparency,” claimed Comer....

The 10-minute contest was among the longest of his career up until that point. It also featured a scary moment where the former football player knocked himself out while delivering a spear.

He also reflected on the unfortunate injury he suffered during the grueling encounter....
