At least 19 people are dead as severe storms and tornadoes swept across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kentucky over the weekend, and more than 100 million people are at risk of severe weather on the East Coast on Monday. The deadliest storms were in Arkansas, where eight people have been confirmed dead, and Texas, where seven people have died, CNN reported. Two people have been confirmed dead in Oklahoma following the storms and another two people were killed in Kentucky when the severe weather ripped through most of the Bluegrass State on Sunday night. Cooke County, Texas — near the Oklahoma border — took the brunt of the storms, which killed seven people, including two children on Saturday night. The seven deaths were reported after a tornado swept through a rural area near a mobile home park, according to Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, the Associated Press reported. Two of the seven killed were a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old. Three others killed in the north Texas storm were a mother and her two children, ages 15 and 9, according to NBC DFW.

Many of us remember the story of Otter, the little cat with a custom helmet to protect his brain. Another man used a helmet similar to a hamster ball to keep his cat from biting during grooming. There are even special motorcycle helmets for kitties living daring two-wheeled lives! Most animals require the assistance of their owners to get into whatever type of helmet they have, but not this little guy! @jessicahouserr astrogoose is back…. and fully by choice. #fyp#foryoupage#goose#greycats#catsoftiktok#funnycats#greygoose#astrogoose#astrocat ♬ original sound – jessica Goose is a handsome little grey kitty. When he wears his little hamster-ball helmet, his mom calls him AstroGoose. He does resemble an astronaut. And he is so fond of his little helmet that he runs right back to it when his mom removes it. Images from TikTok. It doesn’t matter where his cat helmet is; when Goose wants it, he grabs it and puts himself inside the safe space. He seems quite adept at helping himself. @jessicahouserr i think it makes him feel safe. #fup#fyp#foryoupage#sillygoose#cats#funnycats#catsoftiktok#sillycat#trends#viral#greygoose#funny#comedy#lol#greycat#greycatsoftiktok#astrogoose#specialcat ♬ Funny – Gold-Tiger Goose lives with owner Jessica Houserr and two cat siblings, Jägermeister and Peach. Jessica thinks Goose feels safe in the helmet, which is entirely possible. Whatever the reason, Goose is adorable in his tiny cat helmet. And at least it’s not a watermelon helmet. @catsvideos786 Cat wear watermelon helmets. #bravecat #funnycat #beautiful #best #bestvideo2023 #NIZ786 . ♬ original sound – cats lover But your cat could have a superhero helmet. If your family bicycles, be like Ginger with a custom bicycle helmet. This little guy seems apprehensive about his brand-new pineapple helmet, but at least it isn’t a crocheted frog beanie. @champagneunicorns trying on her new hat what do you think?? #cat #cats #catsinhats #funnycat #catsoftiktok ♬ original sound – champagneunicorns That cat looks a bit unhappy and uncomfortable in the frog beanie.

Quick: Where is the most unlikely place to find a fish in the USA? Unless your answer was Death Valley, you were probably wrong. The Devils Hole pupfish holds the official record for the smallest habitat of any vertebrate species.

The Perspective Bender is a mysterious domain you can visit to earn plenty of rewards. If you’ve not found it yet, let me show you how to unlock the Perspective Bender in Wuthering Waves. How to access the Perspective Bender domain in Wuthering Waves The Perspective Bender is easy to miss as it’s hidden behind a regular side quest.  Screenshot: PC Invasion You must complete the Reset the Radar quest, which you can pick up from the Upset Soldier at the Rearguard Base (pictured above). This base is to the north of the map in the Desorock Highland, and most of the nearby enemies are level 24-25. Reset the Radar is a linear side quest where you must track down an engineer and repair three nearby Surveillance Stations. The Engineer is easy to find; head to the quest marker, defeat the enemies, and climb the tower. Repair the first Surveillance Station The only part that may trip you up for this part of the quest is getting inside t...

Astronomers have used the JWST to cast their eyes farther into the past than ever before, witnessing some of the earliest galaxies ever actively forming between 400 and 600 million years after the Big Bang. The space telescope was able to determine that these objects are surrounded by a lot of gas.Images from the JWST show these objects as little red splotches. They are almost at the limit of the telescope's visibility – but size doesn’t matter. The light we obtain from them tells us interesting facts. Breaking down the light spectrum, the researchers could see that some of the light was absorbed immediately by gas which is believed to be hydrogen and helium.  “These galaxies are like sparkling islands in a sea of otherwise neutral, opaque gas,” lead author Kasper Heintz, an assistant professor of astrophysics at the Cosmic Dawn Center (DAWN) at the University of Copenhagen, said in a statement.“We’re moving away from a picture of galaxies as isolated ecosystems. At this stage in the history of the universe, galaxies are all intimately connected to the intergalactic medium with its filaments and structures of pristine gas,” added Simone Nielsen, a co-author and PhD student at DAWN.These galaxies are in the Epoch of Reionization. This is the age of the universe when the light of the first stars began to rip electrons from the neutral gas within and around galaxies. It took stars and galaxies nearly one billion years to ionize all of the gas, making it transparent. The observations of these galaxies suggest we are looking at crucial moments in this process.“The gas must be very widespread and cover a very large fraction of the galaxy. This suggests that we are seeing the assembly of neutral hydrogen gas into galaxies. That gas will go on to cool, clump, and form new stars,” added Darach Watson, a co-author who is a professor at DAWN.“The fact that we are seeing large gas reservoirs also suggests that the galaxies have not had enough time to form most of their stars yet.”There are many open questions about the Era of Reionization as well as these particular observations. Among the latter, there is the location of the gas in the galaxy and if it contains elements other than hydrogen and helium. Answers to these provide insights into bigger unknowns, such as: When were the first stars born? How did they die?“The next step is to build large statistical samples of galaxies and quantify the prevalence and prominence of their features in detail,” Heintz said.A paper describing the results is published in the journal Science.

Monster-collecting games were popular even before Pokemon exploded in popularity in the 1990s. However, it is impossible to tell the story of the genre without mentioning Nintendo's mega-franchise, as it has grown to be one of the biggest IPs in gaming and entertainment. Despite Pokemon's success, the franchise has not changed much over the years or taken many risks storytelling-wise, electing to stick to the formula that's been its bedrock since the days of the original GameBoy. Cassette Beasts is an indie title that looks to provide Pokemon fans who've grown up a bit and are ready for a more mature story and characters.
