Nick Evans, who founded KwaZulu-Natal Amphibian and Reptile Conservation, has removed hundreds of black mambas in his career, but even he was taken aback by the encounter. “I still have absolutely no idea how I didn’t see it,” Evans said in a Facebook post. “Sneaky thing.” The snake had been known to Evans for weeks. It had been spotted numerous times basking on a paved slab in a residential garden....
The airline confirmed, in a statement to local media outlets, “an incident” on board the flight after a TikTok user posted a video showing the silhouette of a snake moving slowly in what appears to be a plane’s luggage compartment. “AirAsia is aware of an incident on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau on Thursday,” AirAsia’s chief safety officer Liong Tien Ling told Malay Mail. “As soon as the captain was aware, he made the decision to divert the aircraft to Kuching as a precautionary measure to fumigate the aircraft....
Though Nintendo Switch Online boasts a quality amount of titles, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the sheer amount of games on both of Nintendo’s consoles. Fans are eager for more content that comes along with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, as games are added periodically throughout the year. This can be frustrating to fans of Nintendo, as there are still many possible games that fans are eager to see a return....
French authorities alerted Interpol about the cadet over the weekend. Meanwhile, local newspapers have seized on the speculation under headlines like, “A GOOD SHOT FROM COETQIDAN HAS DISAPPEARED” and “ON THE TRAIL OF A DESERTER.” The missing man has received routine training on the FAMAS assault rifle, the French military equivalent of the M-16. The FAMAS, like the gun being used by the Washington sniper, is a .223 caliber weapon....
With just days before the 2022 midterm elections, James Austin Johnson opened SNL as President Joe Biden making a few last-minute changes to the list of Democrats running for office. “My fellow Americans,” he said. “This Tuesday, our midterm elections will determine the fate of our democracy and let’s just say: Big yikes.” He went on: “What’s going on? I guess the Democrats’ message just ain’t getting through. Plus, I’m over here, talking to people who don’t exist....
“It’s your boy, Fauci, the patron saint of Purell,” McKinnon said, as the episode’s cold open kicked off. “As you probably heard we got some very good news this week and I’m not just talking about JLo and Ben Affleck getting back together. “The C.D.C. announced that people who are vaccinated no longer need to wear masks, outdoors or indoors. Pretty great, right? But a lot of people had questions....
The Utah Avalanche Center said the 45-year-old man had left the Canyons Village ski resort in Park City, Utah, via a backcountry exit gate at the top of the 9990 lift to access Dutch Draw on Sunday. As he headed down the slope, he “unintentionally triggered” an avalanche in steep and rocky terrain. “Part of the way down the slope (Conehead area of Dutch Draw), he triggered and was caught, carried and killed in an avalanche,” the center said....
RELATED: The 10 Best Leonardo DiCaprio Movies (According To Metacritic) Metacritic generally has positive reviews of his movies, with only a few having critic reviews below 80. It’s interesting to see how fans react to these films because Bong is famous for creating dialogues after the movie is over. The messages are clear, but the journey to that final message is what’s unique and makes for the full experience. Since everyone experiences it a different way, the movies can be somewhat divisive....
If you’re wondering why bankers have an intense urge to merge, you needn’t look much further. When a tiny credit union can offer checking, credit cards, loans by phone, online home banking and a global network of teller machines, a bank with a jillion dollars in overhead and a staff in the tens of thousands has a problem. That’s why Chase CEO Thomas Labrecque agreed last week to sell out to Chemical Bank, forming America’s largest bank under the Chase name....
Newcastle thought they had opened the scoring when Matt Ritchie converted a penalty but referee Keith Stroud blew his whistle having spotted an apparent encroachment before the spot kick was taken. In bizarre circumstances, however, he disallowed the goal rather than order a re-take – much to the bewilderment of Newcastle and manager Rafa Benitez. Ritchie finally did open the scoring with a thumping strike in the 68th minute which means, with six games remaining, Newcastle have 84 points – one more than second-placed Brighton and Hove Albion....
Both tucked chances away from close range as Southampton finally reaped reward after creating a myriad second-half chances. Defeat for the visitors ended their run of four successive wins, which included victory at leaders Chelsea on Saturday, and saw Palace stay 16th, just three points above the drop zone. Christian Benteke opened the scoring in the 31st minute but, shortly after having a penalty appeal turned down, Southampton equalised when Nathan Redmond finished in the bottom left-hand corner at the end of Steven Davis’s delivery....
Smith returned to the Bournemouth starting lineup in their goalless draw at the Liberty Stadium as a replacement for captain Simon Francis, who served a one-match ban following his dismissal in 4-0 win over Huddersfield earlier this month. Although Francis is firmly back in contention, Smith’s confident outing has given Howe food for thought. “I thought Adam did well against Swansea,” Howe told the Daily Echo. “It was a difficult game to play in because we didn’t have our true rhythm with the ball....
The Angler slime is a new slime that requires a bit of work to find. Slimes are hoppy, hungry creatures that players can collect and farm. Not only are they cute, but after slimes eat, they drop plorts that ranchers can exchange for the island currency, Newbucks. The Conservatory is perfect for setting up corrals, gardens, and more to run a lively ranch with all kinds of slimes. While some slimes are found in abundance almost immediately, others have habitats more hidden away like the Angler slime....

Head coach Jim Crews expects that the 6-6 forward will be sidelined for a couple of weeks while rehabbing the shoulder. Assuming no further setbacks, Glaze is expected to return in time for Saint Louis’ season opener on Nov. 15 against Southern Illinois. Prior to the injury, Glaze was primed for a starting role — a function of both the Billikens’ depleted core and his demonstration of prowess as a great rebounder....
In a league dominated by the passing game, it’s easy to desire a Mount Rushmore-type quarterback who will put up 4,000 yards each year and set records. But you don’t need a Peyton Manning to win a Super Bowl. Alex Smith signed a four-year, $68 million contract extension with the Chiefs on Sunday, a signing that prompts doubt regarding the former No. 1 overall draft pick’s actual worth. The 30-year-old doesn’t put up staggering numbers — 185....
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects more than just your joints.

Here is what you need to know about the effects of smoking on RA development, disease severity, and the potential for disease complications....

Twenty years ago, one might have said, “The league has figured him out" or “pitchers are adjusting.” But modern metrics told us that Machado’s bad start was more the product of bad luck than anything else. He had just a .229 BABIP (Batting Average on Balls in Play) — as opposed to his .310 career average coming into this season. And he was still scorching the ball. In fact, to that point in the season, he led all of baseball with 87 balls hit at least 100 mph — one more than Aaron Judge, who was batting ....
Ryan Fuller was called out to a house in Queensland, Australia, after the homeowners spied an Eastern Brown snake, one of the country’s deadliest serpents. Fuller, part of Snake Rescue Sunny Coast along with partner Dimity Maxfield, managed to grab the snake just before it disappeared under a decking. Surprisingly Fuller shunned gloves for the job, explaining they can impede his grip on the animal and it’s actually easier to forgo them....
