The court issued a 5-4 decision in Biden v. Texas regarding the Trump administration’s Remain in Mexico policy, also known as Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which were enacted in 2019 and prevented thousands of migrants from entering the U.S. while going through legal proceedings. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion, joined by Justices Stephen Breyer, Brett Kavanaugh, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, in favor of ending the Trump-era policy while Justices Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented....

In a 2019 article, Eurogamer described ScourgeBringer saying it’s “Dead Cells meets Celeste,” and Flying Oak boasts this in its marketing. However, the full catalog of roguelike elements it pulls into its package extends further. Fans of Hyper Light Drifter will likely recognize the game’s similar blend of sword and gun combat, while titles like Enter the Gungeon helped inform its narrative integration. Game Rant spoke with ScourgeBringer Director Thomas Altenburger about how a community of creators helped bring ScourgeBringer’s unique vision to life....

Scream 5 will be the latest film that brings back another one of the iconic classic horror movie slashers. The film follows up from the previous Scream movies and looks to continue the long-running storyline that centers around the Ghostface Killer. While it may be the same mask and killer, it is a new decade and that means the killer must get new tools.

Images posted by the Marine Animal Rescue group to Facebook showed the sea lion at the water’s edge with what they said was a gaff hook sticking out of its neck. The hooks are sharp implements attached to poles used to lift fish from the water and into boats. Fishing equipment such as gaff hooks, nets and lines are a leading threat to California sea lions. Marine Animal Rescue said that the sea lion had been spotted out of the water at the U....

Several new locations have been unveiled for the Sea of Thieves’ highly anticipated crossover, including an explorable Sea of the Damned and the Sunken Kingdom. Players who go through the first Tall Tale in the game will be introduced to Sailor’s Grave through a slow narrative sequence that leads them through the Sea of the Damned. In one particular segment, players will toss a lever and slowly make their way through a cave grotto as a voice talks to them in the background, as pirate specters are seen off to the side....

That might explain why Seattle is on the far edge of Super Bowl contention now, with two weeks to play. Yes, with an injury-wracked roster and with a quarterback who might have to accept his MVP award while in traction. But also with emotional meltdowns two weeks in a row against true contenders. Meltdowns like the war or words between Earl Thomas and Bobby Wagner after the 42-7 butt-whipping the Seahawks took on their home field from the Rams on Sunday....

While much during the first three weeks of the 2017 season had been made of the Seahawks’ struggling offense, it was the defense that let them down in a Week 3 loss to the Titans. That wasn’t the case Sunday night, as the Seattle defense scored two touchdowns as the Seahawks dominated the Colts, 46-18.

She wrote: A Dancing on Ice spokesperson said they were saddened to hear the news. They stated that Rice was a wonderful skater and friend to the team members of Dancing on Ice. GoFundMe page set up for Sean Rice Rice’s friend, Frankie, shared the details of a GoFundMe page launched for him while announcing the news of his death....

Instead of holidays, students will now not attend school on designated “days off.” The Randolph Township school district and board of education made the announcement during a meeting on June 10 regarding the controversy over Columbus Day. After a contentious debate, board members unanimously voted to remove all holiday names from the school calendar. The move not only removes Columbus Day but also Thanksgiving and religious holidays such as Christmas and Yom Kippur....

That’s the question that’s been bugging Michael Eisen. In early 2003 he and colleagues plan to launch the Public Library of Science, which will provide its own articles online free and aspires to become the basis for a public, searchable database of all scientific literature–a sort of Napster for nerds. The Journal of Biology, launched last week, is also free, and venerable Science has recently decided to post all its content, gratis, on its Web site a year after original publication....

If Newton is watching from the ultimate skybox, he must be appalled at how the Magnus force, once dismissed as an optical illusion, continues to stymie physicists (including the one who won naming rights, Heinrich Magnus, 150 years later). “We can’t calculate it from basic principles,” says physicist Alan Nathan of the University of Illinois. “The equations are very complicated. Using computers to solve them by brute force doesn’t work too well, but we are finally getting good experimental data quantifying how spin affects the flight of a hit baseball....

Similar to the previous test, the number crunchers monitored the heart rates of 50 people as they watched over 100 hours of horror films. This particular experiment, adorably dubbed the “Science of Scare Project,” goes beyond the 10 movie list of its peer, instead ranking a whopping 35 separate titles. Thoughts and prayers go out to the 50 courageous test subject, who nobly sacrificed their sleep for the foreseeable future in order to make a neat list....

The skeptics, however, were wrong. According to a new study published Thursday in the journal Science, the hobbit species, Homo floresiensis, or Flores Man, was indeed a new human species—an offshoot of an earlier human ancestor from Africa that somehow reached Flores and likely survived by hunting pygmy elephants and dodging Komodo dragons. The key was an analysis of the skeleton’s wrist. Matthew Tocheri, a postdoctoral anthropology fellow at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, says the hobbit bones are primitive; the wrist bones are shaped differently from those of humans and Neanderthals—and thus represent a human lineage that appeared before the modern wrist evolved, with Homo sapiens and Neanderthals....

Today, cameras are everywhere. They’re on laptops, phones, doorbells and more, and are so small thanks to the miniaturization of light intensity sensors. But traditional imaging systems rely on a series of lenses that exist to make images less blurry, and these impose a limit on how small cameras can physically be. Another approach is meta-optics. These make use of hundreds of thousands of tiny “nano-antennas,” small structures that can capture and re-emit light at a scale of nanometers....

According to a paper published on September 6 in the journal Nature Communications, this “green hydrogen” is produced by electrolyzing the humidity in the air, rather than the traditional liquid water, which may allow the provision of hydrogen fuel to dry and remote regions, with minimal environmental impact, especially if using renewable energy. The paper’s authors have been able to electrolyze the air’s water in humidity as low as 4 percent....

Nothing. But she was more than a little surprised to discover that the late Hubbard, who is identified in the pamphlets by name only, was the founder of the Church of Scientology, and that the pamphlets are distributed by a foundation tied closely to his controversial religion. She’s not alone. With little fanfare, Hubbard’s text has found its way into the nation’s schools. According to the Scientologists, 8,300 public-school teachers and administrators have used the morality text since it was first published in 1981....

Scotland Women are at the top of the points table. They have won all three of their games comprehensively. A win in this game will help them advance to the 2022 ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament. Meanwhile, France Women are lying at the bottom.
