It Pays to Be in the Spotlight A post on the Snap Newsroom unveiled Spotlight, Snapchat’s attempt at one-upping TikTok. The Spotlight tab is a place where Snapchat can “shine a light on the most entertaining Snaps created by the Snapchat community.” Snapchat labels Spotlight as an “entertainment platform, rather than a space for news or overtly political content.” This means that you’re more likely to see funny, creative content on Spotlight, much like the videos you see on TikTok....

RELATED: 10 Nintendo Games That Were Cancelled For Strange Reasons Occasionally, a canceled game has a third group of people. This group had no idea the game was being worked on to begin with. Every console has its share of games that didn’t survive the production process and the SNES was no exception to that rule. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System had several such projects that, for better or for worse, were abandoned before most fans even knew they had begun....

It was Zambia’s second win in four days over Algeria, who reached the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil but have been eliminated from the race to play in Russia next year. Zambia are in second place three points behind Nigeria and must beat the group leaders next month to have a realistic chance of reaching their first World Cup finals. The 18-year-old Daka burst through after a fortunate ricochet off the home defence as they attempted to block Augustine Mulenga’s attempted pass in the 67th minute....

Mack, known for her role in the TV series Smallville, was arrested in 2018 along with six other people involved in the controversial group. The cult’s leader, Keith Raniere, is serving a 120-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2019.

The animal was seized from alleged smugglers in West Bengal, India, who had been using the bear for street performances, animal rescue organization Wildlife SOS said in a press release. The Forest Department found the bear’s teeth smashed in with metal rods, requiring urgent medical treatment. The bear’s muzzle had also been pierced in order to run a rope through it. Wildlife SOS said this was so the smugglers could train the bear for performances....

Michael Collins is not a familiar name to most Americans. To the Irish, he is either a great romantic legend–the freedom fighter who brought the British Empire to its knees in 1921–or the man who sold out the revolution by signing a treaty with the English which brought about the partition of Ireland. In Jordan’s view, Collins–strikingly embodied by Liam Neeson–was a grand, contradictory and tragic figure, a master of guerrilla warfare and martyr to the cause of peace whose death, at 31, at the hands of an Irish assassin, robbed Ireland of its greatest hope for the future....

This finding could lead to new methods of control for this invasive species, with important implications for food security and human health. “It is unknown how long the bean slug has been established in Mexico,” Manuel de Luna, a researcher from the Herpetological Society of Northeast Mexico, told Newsweek. “It is widespread, from America to Asia, as well as some European countries. It is very adaptable and will thrive in any environment that is hot and humid....

Yet, with United almost certain to bring defensive reinforcements to the club this summer, Smalling is far from guaranteed a starting spot when the new campaign begins in August. In truth, just as Smalling has finally established himself at the club, his place in Louis van Gaal’s first team is almost certain to come under pressure. Smalling’s career has seen a lot of ups and downs Smalling arrived at United an accomplished natural defender and superb athlete, but a young player far from proven at the highest level....

Andrew Granger of Glasgow, Scotland, bought his Samsung Galaxy A02 last month, reported the Daily Record. However, only three weeks into enjoying his new device, Granger reportedly felt it burning up in his hand. He then dropped the overheating Samsung onto the floor of his home, where it exploded upon impact with a loud “bang.” Soon, flames were erupting from the damaged smartphone. “I was coming in my front door and it just went bang, like an explosion,” explained the 35-year-old cyber security worker to the Daily Record....

A stroke had rendered Jack speechless around a year ago. It would be only thing that could, but even though Jack was deprived of his favorite pastime, telling a story, he could still enjoy his second favorite, hearing one. Jack showed his understanding and appreciation by smiling largely with his eyes. In those last months his insatiable curiosity never flagged. I would often visit him in a nursing home with Gene Wilder....

The gunmaker, established in 1852, said it is spending $125 million to relocate its Springfield base due to legislative proposals that would ban them from manufacturing assault weapons, according to officials. The Democrat-led Legislature is weighing its options to ban the sale and possession of assault weapons or large-capacity magazines, a sweeping gun control measure that would also outlaw their manufacturing, unless for military or law enforcement purposes. “While we are hopeful that this arbitrary and damaging legislation will be defeated in this session, these products made up over 60 percent of our revenue last year, and the unfortunate likelihood that such restrictions would be raised again led to a review of the best path forward for Smith & Wesson,” Mark Smith, Smith & Wesson CEO, said in a news release....

“I would say they’ve been doing that, but quietly,” one front-office source said. The problem, of course, remains the two years and $30 million left on Hibbert’s contract, part of a max four-year deal he signed as a restricted free agent two summers ago. That is a weighty number for a guy who disappeared for long stretches in March and April, and continued to do so in the postseason, during which he averaged 9....

If you’re wanting to give an electric toothbrush a try but can’t justify the price, why not check out the super-affordable Oral-B Pro 500, now on sale for just $29.97 (opens in new tab) (usually $43.99). It may not come with as many bells and whistles but it removes up to 100% more plaque than a manual toothbrush and the 2-minute timer is great for making sure you’re brushing thoroughly....

A return to comic form after the woeful “Hollywood Ending.” The anxiety-ridden New York milieu, the Billie Holiday songs, the shrink jokes are familiar, but this time we see it all played out by a new generation. Jason Biggs takes the Woody role, as a guilt-ridden, pushover comedy writer besotted with a neurotic, withholding Christina Ricci, while Woody plays Biggs’s paranoid, half-mad mentor, who thinks the Upper East Side is crawling with Nazis....

On Monday’s upcoming episode of the NBC musical competition, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Gwen Stefani’s teams will pair members of their teams to duel it out on stage. Unlike the battle rounds, in which coaches chose the song for team members to perform, artists will get the chance to choose the songs they feel best showcase their vocal strengths and talent. Following their performance, coaches will have to pick a winner, who will move forward to the live shows....
