Images and video footage of the crafts spiked on social media this week as users across the world spotted a train of glowing lights in the skies above. “We are taking some key steps to reduce satellite brightness,” Musk wrote. “Should be much less noticeable during orbit raise by changing solar panel angle and all sats get sunshades starting with launch 9....

“When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions,” Musk wrote in a tweet. His remarks came after Magda Wierzycka—CEO of Sygnia, a financial services company in South Africa—urged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to probe Musk’s bitcoin tweets to determine if he’s engaging in “market manipulation.” “The [Bitcoin] volatility we have seen is an unexpected function of what I would call market manipulation by Elon Musk,” Wierzycka said in an interview on the Money Show....

“It is becoming more and more difficult to affirm that there isn’t a cause-and-effect relationship between AstraZeneca vaccines and the very rare cases of blood clots associated with a low level of [blood] platelets,” Marco Cavaleri, head of health threats and vaccine strategy, told Rome’s Il Messaggero newspaper. He added that he still endorses the shot and an EMA statement on the vaccine was coming this week. Cavaleri added that while the EMA is anticipating to establish a link to the clots, the scientific reason for the clots is not known....

The 6 ounce Ember Cup is the smallest capacity beverage container from the company. At launch, it comes in black and copper colors and has a battery life capable of keeping a drink hot for about 90 minutes. (A generous amount of time to finish a 6 ounces of liquid in my opinion.)

But ESAs do not have special training to perform tasks that assist people with disabilities. Therefore, they are not considered service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It is not enough to just refer to your cute pup or other animal as your ESA. You need to have documentation from a doctor or licensed mental health professional such as a therapist, psychologist, social worker, or psychiatrist. An ESA is a type of assistance animal that is recognized as a “reasonable accommodation” for a person with a disability under the federal Fair Housing Act....

Liverpool take advantage of rivals’ slips The Germany midfielder leapt at Lucas Leiva’s dinked pass into the area before acrobatically beating Heurelho Gomes to put the Reds in front at Vicarage Road on the stroke of half-time. It proved a decisive goal for Liverpool, who had earlier hit the crossbar through the returning Adam Lallana, and they are now four points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United – albeit having played a game more – in the race for Champions League football....

Members of Parliament (MPs) in Westminster have voted through the new restrictions with the opposition Labour party backing Boris Johnson’s Conservative government in bringing in the tough new rules.

Enthesis (plural: entheses) typically refers to the connective tissue where tendons, ligaments, or joint capsules attach to bone. Two types of entheses exist: fibrous entheses and fibrocartilaginous entheses. While that is the classic definition, a newer, broader definition suggests that enthesis is more than a simple attachment or insertion site—enthesis functions as a unit which includes adjacent tissues (for example, bone and fibrocartilage connected to synovium). The unit is referred to as the “enthesis organ complex”....

The 16-year-old Swede has drawn crowds wherever she has gone in North America after her impassioned address at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in September. Shunning air travel because of its high levels of emissions, she had intended to cross overland to Chile where the U.N. conference was originally going to be held, before it was shifted to Madrid due to anti-government protests in Santiago. In response to her appeal to head back to Europe, Australian couple Riley Whitelum and Elayna Carausu, who have a large following on YouTube, had offered Thunberg a place aboard their 48-foot catamaran called La Vagabonde, which is powered by solar panels and hydro-generators....

Time after time in the gulf war’s early weeks, the idioms and images of Vietnam have flickered through the comments of military leaders. Air Force Lt. Gen. Charles Horner, who flew 111 combat missions over North Vietnam, praised civilian leaders for the “freedom” his staff had in planning the gulf air campaign....

“I was a little surprised, to be honest with you,” Decker said at a charity event, per ESPN. “But (general manager) Mike (Maccagnan) and his scouts do their research and homework for a reason, and they saw something special with him.
