US military experts are calling President Joe Biden’s bluff after he told reporters Monday after his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping that there is no “imminent” threat of an invasion of Taiwan or a possible second Cold War. On “Mornings With Maria” on Tuesday, Fox News senior strategist Ret. Gen. Jack Keane expressed concern about the inglorious outcome of the leaders’ first face-to-face meeting since Biden took office. “The emergency we have is the threat of war, and that is the most dangerous situation the United States faces,” General Keane told host Maria Bartiromo....

VANCOUVER — By some measures, the ongoing bird flu outbreaks in British Columbia pale in comparison to the devastating 2004 outbreak of the disease that killed 17 million birds. But the enemy farmers and scientists now face represents an unprecedented challenge, experts say. The current H5N1 strain “behaves very differently” than previous versions, says British Columbia’s chief veterinarian Theresa Burns. Unlike previous strains that were geographically isolated, the new threat is spreading across the country....

The metal-carbon dioxide battery is a promising and environmentally friendly technology, but its energy efficiency is limited. Recently, a research team led by chemists from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered an innovative way to overcome this problem by introducing an unconventional phase nanomaterial as a catalyst, boosting the battery’s energy efficiency by up to 83.8%.

Those fears eased slightly as the Republican Party slipped in the polls on November 8, disappointing predictions of a “red wave” at the polls. Voters lost closely watched contests in swing states and failed to gain new ground in about 95 percent of national races, according to an analysis by United States United Action, an organization that tracks races with voter voters on the ballot. On Monday, President Joe Biden hailed the midterm results as a “robust rejection of negative elections at every level....

The $30,000 over two years is in addition to other incentives outlined on the union’s website. It’s not necessarily the money, according to MNU president Darlene Jackson. “It’s more about having work-life balance and having more nurses in the system,” she told CBC News in an interview Monday. “I hope these numbers will address some of our critical deficiencies.” Last week, Manitoba Premier Heather Stephenson announced a $200 million plan to add 2,000 health professionals to the public system....

Graeme Sloan | Sipa via AP Images Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried said on Wednesday that the cryptocurrency exchange became “overconfident” and “careless” as it grew into a $32 billion juggernaut. “I was on the cover of every magazine and FTX was the darling of Silicon Valley,” he tweeted on Wednesday.

Là, j’ai vu une voiture de patrouille arriver et un policier dégainer son arme et j’ai entendu “bang”....

Immédiatement très agressif, Tsitsipas a profité de plusieurs erreurs de Medvedev pour prendre rapidement les devants. Alors qu’il avait frappé une belle ligne de service-volley sur la deuxième balle, couronnée par un coup droit gagnant à 15-30 lors de sa première incursion du match, le Russe a soudainement attrapé un coup droit. A 40-30, il commettait deux grosses fautes puis, après une bonne défense du Grec, il forçait un tir de la ligne de fond qui le manquait de quelques centimètres....

Il a inventé la fin après la fin. Tout comme nous pensions que la fille qui a mis le feu à ses yeux était morte et enterrée… putain ! Sa main sortait du sol ! Malheureusement, ce qui était original et audacieux à l’époque (le public criait de terreur dans les salles à chaque projection) est devenu cliché. Il n’y a aucun moyen de regarder un film d’horreur sans que le monstre que nous pensions mort ne recommence à bouger....
