RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The water in the Olympic diving pool appeared to turn a bright green hue on Tuesday, causing puzzlement among divers and audiences as the women’s 10 metre platform final progressed. Britain’s Tom Daley tweeted “Ermmm… what happened?!”, alongside a picture of the green-coloured pool in the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, which contrasted sharply against the still-blue colour of another pool beside it. The centre plays host to the diving and waterpolo events....
In 2009, the big difference was that when the swine influenza A virus known as H1N1 first appeared, it was new and most people didn’t have any immunity to it. That’s why it so easily became a pandemic virus and spread all over the world. Now this strain is included in the annual flu vaccine. Frequent Symptoms Like other seasonal flu viruses, common symptoms of swine flu (H1N1) develop between one and three days after you’ve been infected and can include:...

Lovato calls the period of time leading up to her overdose the “darkest point in [her] life.” The “docuseries” is intended to provide a window into Lovato’s life as she struggled with her sobriety, due to problems that included bulimia, conflicts with her management team, and abandonment issues. This eventually culminated in the release of her June 2018 single “Sober,” in which she revealed she’d relapsed into drug and alcohol addictions, and her overdose the next month....
Karnataka is, in fact, the only team to win all their matches so far with Rohan Kadam leading the way with sensational performances at the top of the order. Haryana have banked on their wily captain, Amit Mishra, to propel them into the qualification scenario. With everything to lose for the North Indian side, Haryana couldn’t have asked for a tougher opponent than one of the hot favourites to win the competition, Karnataka....
Syllable says the batteries last for six hours, but the clever part is that they come with their own recharging station that doubles as a case. Charge up the case’s internal battery using a microUSB cable for around three hours and there’s enough power to recharge the headphones six times. The headphones come with (larger) black silicone tips and (smaller) white tips. We found the black tips were the best fit and the hooks help to keep the buds in place without falling out, after you’ve given the buds a small twist towards the front....
A common sign of osteoarthritis, Heberden’s nodes may or may not be painful depending on the stage of development they are in. While they are developing and growing, you may experience pain. However, once fully formed, the nodes typically do not hurt. Treatments for Heberden’s nodes include laser therapy, splints, and over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain. Ice, heat, and physical therapy can also be effective, though some people may require surgery....

Fan speculation has been all over the place as of late, with some hoping for Doom’s Doomguy, Kingdom Hearts’ Sora, Fortnite’s Jonesy, and even Master Chief from Halo.

As with the rest of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s roster, Steve and Alex were confirmed to be receiving Amiibos based on their designs in the future. While Nintendo had originally planned the Minecraft Amiibos for a Spring 2022 launch, it had announced a delay in their production earlier this year....
Because of the popularity of Stardew Valley, there have been several games over the years that had similar pixel art appearances. However, those games generally had enough differences that people in the gaming community never logged such loud complaints about the possibility of a title being an actual ripoff. With Super Zoo Story, the depth to which the two games appear similar was too much to ignore. RELATED: Stardew Valley Dev Responds to ‘Ripoff’ Controversy...
The patients had been infected with Candida auris, an emerging fungus that is highly transmissible and, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “presents a serious global health threat.” C. auris has appeared in the country only recently, and researchers are still studying it to find out more about how it is spread.

That wrestler is Dragon Kid, a wrestler whose career we’ll be looking at today. Early career Dragon Kid debuted in 1994 with the goal of becoming a pro wrestling, but this didn’t happen right away. The first company he worked for was Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW), which was run by AJPW alumnus Atsushi Onita. It was Onita that tried to discourage the man later known as Dragon Kid from becoming a wrestler at first and made him a referee while he trained in FMW....
On Friday, the Court released its opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ended a woman’s constitutionally protected right to an abortion at the federal level, and leaves it up to the states to implement their own abortion policies. Some states are immediately moving to impose “trigger laws” to ban the procedure, while some experts estimate that without Roe v. Wade, abortion is likely to become illegal in about half of the country....
Now I know. It’s the incredible feeling of standing on a nine-foot piece of curved fiber glass, wind in your face and riding a foaming mass of water as it races to land. I mean, I guess that’s what they’re talking about, anyway, because my experience was slightly different. I spent my time paddling. Did anyone ever tell you that’s mainly what surfing is about–paddling furiously against the current until your arms hang loosely off your shoulders like empty shirt sleeves?...
