It’s getting harder and harder to trust anything you see on the internet. It seems like so much of it is full of misinformation. Pictures and videos are manipulated, social media trolls turn out to be bots, the media displays fake news. The onus is now on us, the average person, to learn the motivation behind disinformation, how our brain tricks us, and how to spot fakes. 1. Spot The Troll (Web): Is It a Real Social Profile or a Fake Bot?...

But the question is: can you spot where an Eastern Copperhead snake is hiding in this photo? Photographer Jeremy Ginn shared an image of the snake on the Rare Encounters Photography Facebook page on December 29, where he asked people if they could spot the serpent. He told Newsweek: “This is an Eastern Copperhead, and it’s a venomous pit viper. Though venomous, bites are rarely fatal. It ranges in much of the Eastern U....

Entering the game, Canada was earmarked for a win. After all, the team had only allowed four goals through six games and was coming off back-to-back shutouts. But when the final buzzer sounded it was the Americans, instead, with a 2-0 win. MVP Trevor Zegras played a key role with a goal and an assist on Alex Turcotte’s opener. The Ducks prospect backed up what he said pregame to NHL Network’s Jill Savage....

Upon leaving, Sinclair intends to focus on Indigenous law mentorship and his memoir, tentatively entitled Who We Are. “I am not going to disappear,” Sinclair said in an exclusive interview with Canada’s Globe and Mail. “I am going to continue to exercise influence where I can. I will continue to respond to the public … dialogue going on.” In terms of his memoir, Sinclair certainly has a lot of history to mine....

In a press conference on Friday, Ford said that the original protest can no longer be considered a protest due to its blockage of the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit, Michigan, with Windsor, Ontario. He also said that protesters who do not leave on their own will be fined $100,000 and could face up to a year in prison. “We’re now two weeks into the siege of the city of Ottawa,” he said....

Canadian duty fees on U.S. purchases range upwards from 6 percent, depending on where you cross the border, and evading payment is illegal. But Canadian shoppers seem OK with risking time in the slammer to save money. “We see the clothes left in the dressing room and we’re not going to speculate about anything illegal, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what’s going on,” says James Schlesinger, CEO of Talisman Cos....

No one predicted it. No one expected it. Why? Because, as a 12th seed, Montreal shouldn’t have even had a sniff of the playoffs; they were not a good team. When the NHL’s 2019-20 season was paused on March 12, the team was at .500 (31-31-9) and nine points out of the postseason with three teams between them and the last wild-card spot. They were tied for 18th in goals for (212), tied for 23rd in goals against, in the bottom third on special teams and on a three-game losing streak....

They added veteran voices. They bolstered the lineup. They added depth. But in the end, it was the same old Maple Leafs. For the third straight year, Toronto was sent packing in a decisive game as the Canadiens skated away with a 3-1 win in Game 7. After a first period that saw both teams play safe, the Canadiens broke out in the middle frame. Eric Staal poked the puck away from a rushing Mitchell Marner at the Montreal blue line, leading to Gallagher going the other way....

Flaxseed Nutritionists and alternative-medicine practitioners alike are enamored of flaxseed. High in omega-3 fatty acids, it also has “800 times more lignan than anything else you could stick in your mouth,” says Duke University cancer researcher Wendy Demark-Wahnefried. Lignan, a chemical found in the cell walls of plants, binds to testosterone in the body—and in many prostate-cancer patients, testosterone is what fuels tumor growth. Researchers have often suspected that lignan might stop prostate tumor cells from multiplying out of control....

On October 21, Rust star and producer Baldwin discharged a gun on the film’s New Mexico set, leading to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injury of writer-director Joel Souza. Baldwin was handed the gun by Rust assistant director Dave Halls, who had indicated that it didn’t contain live rounds. Neither party was aware that it did contain live rounds. Rust armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, has since said she had “no idea” where the live ammunition came from....

Canelo has proven to be one of the hottest commodities in boxing, in and out of the ring. He has become a force in any division in which he has competed, and his fight nights have become quite profitable over the years. Canelo made his pro debut in 2005. He is 15-0-1 since losing to Floyd Mayweather in 2013. Last November, he beat Caleb Plant to become the undisputed super-middleweight champion....

It will be Canelo’s first fight since stopping Sergey Kovalev in the 11th round last November to claim the WBO light heavyweight title and become a four-division world champion. He returns to the 168-pound division for the second time after blowing out Rocky Fielding with a third-round TKO in December 2018 to capture the WBA (Regular) super middleweight title at Madison Square Garden in New York. “I’m very happy to return to the ring and continue to make history,” Alvarez said in a press release....

Oscar De La Hoya, who promotes former middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, appeared on “Sportscenter” on Monday saying the fight between his client and Gennady Golovkin on Sept. 16 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. “Everybody wanted this fight, and I nailed it down,” De La Hoya said. “Everybody who wants to go to Vegas, have a great time. Watch a great fight with Triple G and Canelo....

The win was just Vancouver’s second in 10 overtime games this season. Sedin’s goal came on a 4-on-3 power play with Panthers winger Jaromir Jagr off serving a hooking penalty. “I felt good early on,” Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo said (via the Vancouver Sun). “I felt we could have won this game 4-1, but sometimes the breaks, they don’t go in your favor. We had a bunch of breaks during the streak....

For the past thirty years, Capcom has released a continuous stream of games that have captivated audiences. As such, there are all kinds of different projects that fans would love to see the company pursue. One theory that is already gathering momentum is that the unannounced title is a new entry in the Devil May Cry series. Ninja Theory’s DmC: Devil May Cry split opinion back in 2013, but four years on there are scores of gamers who would love to see something new from the hugely popular hack-and-slash franchise....

This glitch is specific to the Action/Hurt Pose DLC gestures. Apparently if players set these gestures to the action bar and then quit the game, is it possible that they won’t be able to load that same save file again. It’s a big disappointment for eager hunters to lose a ton of progress to a simple glitch like this, and players have been waiting for news of a fix from Capcom....
