To complicate the matter, 16-year-old Sheba suffers from poor eyesight and hearing loss. According to CBC News, Storoshenko had let her dogs into the backyard only minutes before Sheba went missing.

“We inherited a deadline; we didn’t inherit a plan,” Blinken told members of Congress while appearing remotely during a hearing at the U.S. Capitol Monday. President Joe Biden ordered that troops leave Afghanistan last month, with a chaotic rush to evacuate U.S. citizens and Afghan allies from the country after the Taliban toppled the official Afghan government. Biden has repeatedly defended the decision to leave Afghanistan but argued that the formal government wasn’t expected to fall so quickly....

Surprisingly, a few of the minds behind the Knights of the Old Republic franchise actually started to publicly express an interest in getting back to the beloved RPG universe. The original KOTOR game launched in 2003 and was followed by an equally successful sequel, The Sith Lords, just a year later. The Bioware team returned to the Star Wars universe in The Old Republic MMO, but the game really feels like its own venture, rather than a spiritual successor to the original two....

Bogey: Dustin Johnson Playing in the final group with Rory McIlroy, Johnson appeared on his way to a memorable Saturday when he birdied the first and McIlroy bogeyed, bringing the American within two of the lead.

Bitcoin Cash – what is it? There’s no significant difference between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, except that the block size of Bitcoin Cash is 8 MB, where Bitcoin is at 1 MB. Bitcoin Cash is a result of Bitcoin hard fork, which means a permanent and forceful divergence in the Blockchain. A group of bitcoin miners has ‘forked’ to create a new version of bitcoin; an alternative network, to demonstrate bigger blocks in a bid to increase network capacity....

The video was originally posted to YouTube by CK Industries in 2017. However, it was reposted to the Reddit subreddit oddlyterrifying, where it got thousands of upvotes and comments. The footage starts by showing the frog screaming at the camera. It then stops screaming and pauses for a moment, appearing to gulp for air, then begins screaming even louder. Jakob Christensen-Dalsgaard, a biology professor the University of Southern Denmark and frog expert, told Newsweek that this screaming is an “unusual behavior in frogs generally”—but not for this particular species....

Was it a mere coincidence, or a marketing tactic? While that question might never get answered, it does highlight the studio’s possible lack of confidence in the film....

Bennett had not played for his country since January 2014, but the paceman showed what he is capable of by taking 3-31 to play his part in restricting Bangladesh to 257-9. Soumya Sarkar top scored with 61, while Mushfiqur Rahim (55) and Mahmudullah (51) also made half-centuries, but the Tigers, whose first game of the tournament against hosts Ireland was washed out, were unable to deny the Black Caps victory....

For his 30 million fellow Africans, it was the first, exuberant taste of full citizenship after a lifetime in which even second-class status was denied to them. They stood in long lines, stretching across the open African landscape. They marveled at themselves as they waited, patiently and peacefully, sometimes standing amicably right next to whites. They cast their ballots with reverence and glee. “I am about two inches taller than before I arrived,” Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu joked as he left a polling station....
