The 2021 Future Insight Prize went to Ting Lu, a professor of bioengineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Stephen Techtmann, associate professor of biological sciences at Michigan Technological University, for their project. It uses microbes to degrade plastic waste and convert it into food. The German science and technology company Merck sponsors the prize.

Where to find raptors or dinosaurs in Fortnite Compared to other Season 6 wildlife like boars or wolves, there’s no denying that Raptors are much harder to locate. That being said, if you paid attention to the Battle Royale map at the start of the season, you might have a good idea of where to start your search. These dinos hatched from eggs nestled around the Spire, so meeting up with a raptor might involve heading there first....

Currently the timer is visible in two locations including the main lobby screen and on Midas’ desk in his Agent room. Leaks suggest a third countdown timer is expected to hover above the Agency at some point, but that may happen closer to the start of the actual event.

MORE: Memorial leaderboard After narrowly avoiding missing the cut, Woods was back under par with a 1-under 71 on Saturday, improving to 2 over for the tournament.

The Kremlin was quick to clamp down on any anti-war rhetoric among the population, swiftly passing a number of laws that would introduce weighty fines and jail terms for “discrediting” the Russian military—an umbrella term that has been applied to anything from citing Ukrainian sources to simply stating one’s opposition to war. But while these measures were effective in silencing the critics of Putin’s “Special Military Operation” initially, they did not destroy the resistance entirely....

With Mira still in King’s Landing, Asher in Essos, and the rest of House Forrester simply trying to survive within their own home at Ironwrath, the fourth episode does a good job in touching in on absolutely every family member, though the episode does have many weak points despite a strong focus on plot progression. The scenes at the Night’s Watch seemed to put Jon Snow in an out-of-character light, with the honor-bound ranger himself quickly looking the other way as a member of the Night’s Watch - whom he believed was innocent - was sentenced to the chopping block....

Gearsheads have had some time to ponder the situation, and while some critics can’t see any good coming from a Microsoft-developed Gears of War game, even Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney believes the sale was best for franchise aficionados. During a recent interview between Polygon and Sweeney, the head honcho stated that Marcus Fenix and friends just didn’t fit into the company’s “new direction.” In fact, had Microsoft not purchased the rights to the series, Sweeney admits that Epic Games would have simply allowed Gears of War to “sit on the shelf for a decade or more....

In the viral video, the giant Saint Bernard dog can be seen being encouraged to walk out of a doggy day car van, down a carefully placed ramp, and running up to one of the dog parlous workers. According to Smithsonian Magazine, “Long before Beethoven drooled on the big screen, St. Bernard dogs were famous for an entirely different reason: saving lives. “Since the early 18th century, monks living in the snowy, dangerous St....

In a post shared to Reddit under the handle n515o, a man shared a picture of what he unearthed while exploring his partner’s loft space. Hidden at the back beyond the beams, plaster and gathering cobwebs, he found a simple, yet terrifying message scratched into the back wall. The discovery of a pentagram—a five-pointed star associated with the worship of Satan—alongside the name “Nick.” The discovery might have been okay were it not for the fact that, according to the man sharing the image, his name just so happens to be Nick....

In their 1999 clash at Starrcade, The Hitman defeated the former NFL star for the WCW World Heavyweight title.

This challenge actually ended up being the most controversial task of the week, as the vast majority of leakers, including us, initially had it wrong. Instead of tooting conch shells as had been originally assumed, players need to visit three specific locations and look for large, glowing clam shells. When you see them, interact with them to “signal.” Location 1: The first location is in northwest coral castle. It’s hiding behind a rock in front of a building that has large pink and orange corals in front of it....

For a bit of context, Fortnite already crossed over with the DC universe earlier this year with the six-issue Zero Point comic. This story arc was focused on Bruce Wayne’s attempts to escape Fortnite Island, after he was drawn into a portal and forced to compete in a never-ending battle royale loop. In the last issue, the Caped Crusader successfully broke free from his prison and returned to a Gotham City that had been suffering from his prolonged absence....
